Full Show Notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/article/newsletter-1 Writing a book is a lot like childbirth—exhausting, and not something you rush back into the moment it’s over. I’ve never given birth, but I have written several books—and after finishing Boundless, I wasn’t too eager to jump straight into that process again. Until recently. There are just too many health myths wasting your time, energy, and attention—especially around supplements, cold and heat exposure, sleep, fasting, seed oils, red meat, carbohydrates, psychedelics, biohacking, and the modern obsession with living forever. So over the coming months, I’m going to tackle these types of topics through a weekly newsletter, article, and video series, which will eventually be crafted into my next book. If something resonates, let me know. If something falls flat, tell me. And if there’s a topic that deserves a deeper dive, point me there. Head to https://bengreenfieldlife.com/article/newsletter-1/

Full Show Notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/dylan/ In today's episode, Dylan and I explore how your genetics, microbiome, lifestyle, and activity level all play a role in what works best for you. I share my thoughts on carbs (they’re not the enemy!), why the Mediterranean diet is often a solid fallback, and how to customize your approach—whether you’re training like an athlete or just trying to eat well on a budget. We also get real about fasting: I break down what works for high performers, how to balance longevity with peak performance, and what fasting windows actually make sense if you’re pushing your body hard. From there, we dissect the critical topic of heart health, talking through the difference between stable and unstable plaque, key diagnostic tools, and both natural and pharmaceutical strategies I’ve studied—and used personally—to keep my heart in top shape.

You’re getting an exclusive replay from my Life Network’s RAW series—a solo deep dive where I share straight-up, sometimes controversial truths you won’t always hear on the main show. In this episode, I peel back the curtain on a recent mastermind weekend at my home, where I observed over 20 high-performing men up close: we’re talking morning routines, meal habits, biohacking practices, tech usage—you name it.
