Ben Greenfield

Welcome to the Get Fit Guy's quick and dirty tips to slim down and shape up.

My name is Ben Greenfield, and I'm the Get Fit Guy.

Listener Natasha recently wrote in and said, "'What would you recommend as a minimum exercise routine for someone who isn't concerned about achieving prime fitness, but is more worried about just staying healthy, being able to sprint after a bus, reducing the risks of disease and injury?' keeping your immune system and mood in check, etc.

I generally stay active, but I'm wondering what else I should be doing.

Listen,

Ben Greenfield, Ben Greenfield lives in Idaho.

And, you know, he's the guy that would go out into his driveway, lay out in his driveway naked, which, of course, it was disturbing in itself.

And Ben will tell you that.

I'll tell you this.

So I ended up running a longevity summit and I interviewed 57 experts in longevity, including Dave Asprey, Ben Greenfield, Dr. Stephen Gundry.

And I asked all of them, what are the two to three tips or tricks? And I love to call them shortcuts because everybody wants shortcuts to longevity.

And I compiled all of these together.

The people that come out and they're like, this is bonked and this is true.

Ben Greenfield's in it.

Lane Norton's in it.

All the people in my line of work.

Yeah, geez, it's so true.

I mean, my buddy, and I'm pretty sure you're close with Ben as well, Greenfield, he says workout snacks every day is the key.

You know, we did a biohacking mastermind at his house the past two years.

We brought our guys to his house.

I'd be interested to know.

I'm going to guess that Yeti and companies like that have done a good bit of research into are the metals leaking in at all? Is there any risk of that? Ben Greenfield was on the show, and he was telling me that...

Zevia.

Zevia is the sweet drink, right? He had one of the product development managers at that place on, and they used a special type of aluminum that was leaking less.

Yeah, yeah.

And it was at the time that the beverage company launched that the biohacking movement emerged with the likes of Dave Asprey, Ben Greenfield, all these people.

So my engineering mind went down every rabbit hole obsessed with biohacking, wanting to optimize to the point where I was showing off, I was hacking my way to five hours of sleep a night, running 10 miles every other day, listening to three audio books a week, raising money from 170 people in New York City, thinking I'm winning this game of life, right? I did that for five years until my body broke down and my knee gave out.

And that was the beginning of my inward journey.
