Episode 399: Ben Greenfield on Biohacking vs. Simplicity: The Future of Longevity for Body, Mind and Spirit

Habits and Hustle

Can you really achieve optimal health through biohacking, or is simplicity the key?

In this episode of the Habits and Hustle podcast, I am joined by Ben Greenfield (again!) to discuss his change from one of the world's leading biohackers to embracing a more balanced approach to health and wellness. 

We dive into a range of topics such as his journey from homeschooled chess club president to America's top personal trainer, expanding stem cell therapy options, his detailed morning routine combining light, sound, and vibration therapy, and even modern parenting. Overall, we discuss the impact of simplicity on optimizing our health and longevity. 

Ben Greenfield is a renowned health consultant, speaker, and New York Times bestselling author specializing in fitness, nutrition, and wellness. As a former athlete and current biohacker, he has been recognized as one of America's top Personal Trainers and among the most influential people in health and fitness. Ben hosts a popular website and podcast, speaks globally on longevity and biohacking, and is the co-founder of KION, a nutritional supplements company.
