One of the worst injuries of my life was a mountain bike crash when I was 13 years old. One moment I was bombing down the driveway with a big smile on my face (but no helmet on my head) and three hours later I woke up at the hospital. I've always wondered if I was tested the right way when I was at the hospital, and if everything was done that should have been done when it came to optimizing the healing of my head damage and shutting down brain inflammation as quickly as possible. I've also always wondered whether kids who get concussions might be getting missed diagnoses, improper treatments or lasting cognitive damage, and if there are ways to keep kids and sporting adults from getting concussions in the first place... So in today's episode, I get Concussion Health Certified Provider, Certified Sports Chiropractic, ART Certified Provider and ImPACT Certified Provider Dr. Kelly Ryder on the show, and we discuss: -What a concussion really is... -The different types of concussions, cerebral vs. vestibular coch

The nefarious, notorious hormone cortisol is a molecule that is near and dear to my heart. Both myself and many of the athletes I've worked with have struggled with high blood and salivary cortisol levels no matter what we do to try and control it or lower it. So in today's podcast, myself and my guest Evan Brand - a Nutritional Therapist at Greenfield Fitness Systems - take a deep dive into underground, little-known methods to lower cortisol levels, including methods I've never talked about before on the podcast or in my books and articles. In this discussion, you'll learn about: -The enormous cortisol bomb that exploded inside Evan's body when he moved to Austin, Texas... -The ratio of cortisol-to-DHEA that would be ideal... -Why I rarely bring my kids on airplanes anymore... -How you can use Shinrin-yoku, A.K.A. "forest bathing" to decrease stress and cortisol... -The concept of EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) to lower cortisol... -Evan's crazy story of phenibut, and whether you should actually use pheni

Dr. Tim Jackson - a medical ninja when it comes to nutritional biochemistry, digestive health, methylation and genetic testing and functional endocrinology - is no stranger to BenGreenfieldFitness.com. He penned the article that first appeared here entitled "Blame the Bugs: How Stealth Pathogens Are Making You Fat, Tired, and Brain Dead.", and also "Broken Gut to Big Butt: How A Busted Digestive System Can Make You Hormonally Fat." And now Dr. Tim is back with a vengeance. Just when I thought I knew everything there was to know about detoxification and detox diets, Tim began dropping knowledge bombs like xenobiotics, depuration, miasm, emunctory, and even drainage (yuk!). I had to get him on the podcast to open your eyes about what's really happening inside your body when you detox...or when you don't. So when it comes to detox, what you're about to hear is like no other podcast I've ever done on the topic, so strap on your earphones and prepare to learn: -Why the pH of your blood is just ONE part of proper a

I think I first heard it from a Navy SEAL that "Strong People Are Harder To Kill".   And you're going to learn all about why that is in today's podcast, with my guest Keith Norris.   At 15, Texan Keith was already involved in one of the premier fitness and weight training scenes in the country ­­ Powerhouse Gym, a legendary bodybuilding, training, and powerlifting mecca in San Antonio that launched the careers of athletes like Ms. Olympia Rachel McLish, Lori Bowen-­Rice, Jeep Swenson and many others.   A knee injury derailed Keith’s career as a linebacker at Texas State, but his experience rehabbing and working with some of the best strength coaches in the country continued to increase his interest in intelligent body development. In the mid 90s Keith competed in AAU Bodybuilding and won the title of Mr. Virginia and runner-up to Mr. America.   In 2010, after navigating a successful 9­ year military and 15 ­year corporate career, Keith was finally able to follow up on his lifelong dedication to training and c
