Ben Greenfield Fitness: Diet, Fat Loss And Performance

Full Show Notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/lnraw06/ Welcome to RAW—my unfiltered solo podcast (hosted on LIFE Network), where you get the real, behind-the-scenes version of my life: the biohacking experiments I’m running on myself, the protocols I’m building and breaking, the tools and tech I’m stress-testing before anyone hears about them, the ideas in physiology, performance, and longevity I’m diving into, the beliefs I’m questioning, the routines I’m refining, and the unconventional stuff I’m actually doing day to day—no gloss, no script, just a direct line into what I’m thinking, testing, discovering, and living in real time. In this episode, we go deep into the “RAW” terrain of jaw mechanics—think controversial, awkward, and a tad nerdy, but game-changing for health. It all starts at a cocktail party when a Sherlock Holmes-style dentist spots red flags just by looking at his mouth. Cue a year-plus journey into bioesthe

Full Show Notes: BenGreenfieldLife.com/nicknorwitz In this episode with Dr. Nick Norwitz, you’ll get to discover how a Harvard-trained MD/PhD used a simple, eyebrow-raising experiment with Oreos to challenge conventional thinking on cholesterol, metabolism, and the stories told about health. We dive into his now-viral “Oreo experiment,” where adding Oreos to a ketogenic diet dropped his LDL cholesterol faster and more effectively than a high-intensity statin—an unexpected outcome that opens the door to deeper questions about lipid markers, risk factors, and how the body actually processes dietary fats.

Full Show Notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/lnraw03/ Welcome to a no-holds-barred, behind-the-scenes edition. 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. What did I see? Even the “healthy” folks slip into patterns that sabotage fat loss, disrupt sleep, tank metabolic health, and kill mobility. I lay it all out: how “healthy” snacks sneak in hundreds of mindless calories, why evening stimulant use is wrecking your sleep, the truth about EMF and laptop exposure, the game-changing power of post-meal movement, and the essential daily mobility practice my body swears by.

Full Show Notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/lnneel/ Aching tightness, head-splitting migraines, breathing issues, and poor sleep quality — these are all signs of trapped tension in your body. The good news is that exercising one specific (and often forgotten) body part can help restore your well-being… I'm talking about your tongue… I first discovered how to unlock the power of whole-body tension relief when Dr. Neel Bulchandani visited my house and did some very unique body therapy on me (including putting his fingers into my mouth and my nasal cavity to 'adjust' those sections)! I later released an Instagram post about his groundbreaking Tongue Press program — a video series and guide designed to optimize tongue mobility.

Full Show Notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/494 In this episode, I dig into the fascinating story of the world’s oldest woman—a vibrant supercentenarian from Spain who made it to 117 years old. I break down what researchers discovered about her genes, lifestyle, and daily habits (you might be surprised by some of the things she ate and didn’t do!). I also get nerdy about the newest longevity drugs and supplements—like curcumin, spermidine, taurine, and a few others you might not expect—and explain which ones actually work, according to the science in mammals. Plus, I share some updates from my own life, like the weirdly exciting health setting I just found on my new iPhone, and spill the beans on why I microdose alcohol (and sometimes other things) instead of going on a bender. If you’re curious about muscle gain (do you really need to be in a calorie surplus?), soft-shell vs hardshell hyperbaric chambers, or how certain supplements might actually help you live longer, y
