A few months ago, I received a special package from Australia with some of the most unique and inventive supplement formulations I’ve seen in quite some time, particularly when it comes to healing the gut or fixing problematic digestive issues.
The guy who sent them to me, today’s podcast guest Kyal Van Der Leest, is founder of LVLUP Health, a new-to-the-scene supplement company that has created a range of cutting-edge supplements using powerful ingredients that most people would not have heard of before. All the formulations were created in an attempt to reduce the multiple 6-12 products you might need to take for a health goal and simplify it down to an all-in-one product for every body system.
LVLUP Health was founded by Kyal - a Nutritionist, Naturopath, Functional Health Coach, turned formulator - because of his own health challenges. He had many family members with severe health challenges, he became frustrated with the lack of quality products in southern hemisphere and the difficulty and cost of sourcing supplements from overseas. So, he decided to create his own supplement brand and formulate his own products using a unique combination of ingredients fusing and bridging functional medicine with naturopathy and nutrition.
He founded LVLUP Health to create the products he wishes he could have used and suggested when he worked in clinic and in a supplement store and used in his own health journey.
LVLUP Health's products are formulated with the best oral bioavailable peptides, naturopathic botanicals, and nutritional supplement ingredients.

I first discovered Jon and Missy Butcher when my wife and I went through one of the most transformational life re-invention and life purpose processes we have ever embarked upon...
It was called Lifebook and was designed by Jon and Missy. 
Later, Jon himself joined me for the podcast episode "Lifebook: The Most Transformative Process I’ve Ever Discovered For Crystal-Clear Clarity, Purpose & Direction In Life." I now think of my Lifebook as me, in a book (you can actually read my entire Lifebook here).
In other words, if I were to, God forbid, get hit by a bus tomorrow, someone would be able to hand my children my Lifebook and say, “Here. Here is your Dad, in a book. This is everything he stands for, believes in, and values, and everything he would have wanted to teach you about life" (you can actually read my entire Lifebook here)...
Along with his wonderful wife, Missy, Jon is a serial entrepreneur and the creator of Lifebook, an extraordinary system that has helped thousands transform their lives from ordinary to living masterpieces. Jon and Missy have learned how to defy aging, experience long-lasting love, redefine education, and build the perfect living environment (trust me, I've been to their home, and it is a complete dream house). Drawing from deeply personal experiences, Jon and Missy, along with their partner, Joe Polish, also founded the Artists For Addicts project. Its mission is to change the global conversation surrounding addiction from one of judgment to one of compassion.
If you have children in your life, know someone with children, or plan to have children, this walkthrough of Jon and Missy's radical parenting process is a can't-miss. That's why I also featured Jon and Missy in my new, just-released book Boundless Parenting, in which you can learn more about the Butchers' parenting along with many other highly impactful parents.

Are you tired of feeling jittery, anxious, and restless after downing your third cup of coffee?
Enter paraxanthine - the "magical little molecule" that promises to take your energy and focus to the next level without any of the negative effects of caffeine.
Paraxanthine is like caffeine's cool, collected cousin who shows up to the party and steals the show. It's a natural metabolite of caffeine scientifically engineered to enhance your cognitive function and athletic performance without the pesky side effects of consuming too much caffeine.
And trust us, I'm not exaggerating when I say that paraxanthine is in a league of its own. My friend Shawn Wells, aka "The World's Greatest Formulator," introduced me to this game-changing ingredient, and I've been singing its praises ever since.

Today, I invited Shawn back to talk about his new Update energy drink featuring paraxanthine. Shawn is joined by the CEO and his co-founder of Update, Daniel Solomons, who spent more than three years working with partners to develop the groundbreaking formula.
Shawn Wells, MPH, LDN, RD, CISSN, FISSN is a leading nutritional biochemist and expert on health optimization. Now known as the Ingredientologist (the scientist of ingredients), he has formulated over 1,000 supplements, food, beverages, and cosmeceuticals and patented 25 novel ingredients. Formerly a Chief Clinical Dietitian with over a decade of clinical experience, Shawn has counseled thousands of people on natural health solutions such as keto, paleo, fasting, and supplements.

My sons have been Jiu-Jitsu devotees since the age of eight. I initially joined then but, regrettably, didn't keep up the practice, though they've continued to flourish under the tutelage of today's podcast guest coach Adam Smith.
But Coach Adam is much more than a youth and adult Jiu-Jitsu coach.
A lifelong Martial Arts competitor and teacher, Adam has won many traditional Martial Arts tournaments. After moving on to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Mixed Martial Arts, Adam “Smash” Smith has earned a strong reputation as a high-level competitor and an expert-level teacher. Adam holds a Black Belt in American Kenpo Karate (Ed Parkers system), and a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (under Jiu-Jitsu Master Marcelo Allonso Novais).
Now, Adam has three of his own Martial Arts Academies (SMASH Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) and plans to continue to build a strong team dedicated to changing lives. With more than 250 current students and thousands of former students, “Smash” is known for his ability to teach anyone, starting as young as three years old. Adam has taught special needs students for over 15 years and has well-known expertise in working with a variety of people with different disabilities.
At 18 years old, Adam moved into a fire station where he became a certified firefighter and emergency medical technician (a certification he has held for 12+ years) while gaining firsthand experience saving lives and property in the Spokane area. After growing up as a poor and underprivileged athlete himself, Adam started a non-profit (Give Back Tournaments) and hosts Jiu-Jitsu tournaments to raise funds that pay for athletic endeavors for underprivileged student-athletes. This past year, Adam had double hip replacements three months apart but is back training and working to win world titles.

You may have heard me talking lately about how I've been enjoying an evening cocktail comprised of ketones instead of alcohol.
This drink is a shockingly close equivalent to both the taste and effect of popular drinks like Gin & Tonic, Moscow Mule, Pina Colada, etc., but without any toxic side effects of alcohol (while I have no problem with a glass or two of organic, biodynamic red wine or a healthy cocktail here and there, it's been really nice to have a tasty alternative).
The company that makes the drinks I've been consuming - KetoneAid - was founded by my guest on today's podcast, Mr. Frank LLosa, a serial entrepreneur who has an incredible track record of success in a number of fields from real estate, to highly technical photography for National Geographic, to one of the first cloud-based storage systems available to the public.
Also formerly an elite Division I track athlete, Frank currently incorporates biohacking to stay competitive in all his endeavors, including a vegan ketogenic diet, hitting levels over 8.0mm on diet alone.

It’s time for another entertaining podcast with one of my dear family members.
My father, Gary Greenfield, joined me on the podcast episode “Why Water, Sunlight, Grounding & Relationships Are The Keys To Your Health & How To Feed, Clean & Protect Your Body Forever," during which we discussed his history of coming to Idaho from Miami (with the dream of becoming a farmer) and how he eventually became an expert in the water filtration industry, his journey from evangelical Christianity to orthodox and much more.
Later, my mom, Pat Greenfield, joined me on the episode “Ben Greenfield Interviews His Mom: Homeschooling, Coffee Shops, Writing, Music & More," in which we discussed my upbringing, homeschooling, trauma, and much more.
And this podcast episode features my younger brother Zach Greenfield, who is the director of operations at Greenfield Water Solutions (use code BEN10 to save 10%).
