#31 - Ben Greenfield

Overcome with Justin Wren

Ben Greenfield is a leader in health and wellness, and is the author of 13 books with a new one on parenting, out soon. He is a highly sought after podcast guest as well as a pioneer in podcasting, having his own show since about the first 20 shows on iTunes, having to code each individual episode. He is a renaissance man, a total human optimizer, and an absolute beast at 40 years old. To start our day we had a killer workout session at Onnit and it’s the first time I needed a trash can, in case I was going to throw up. Ben is a wealth of knowledge, incredibly interesting, and you will surely learn quite a lot to optimize your health, your sleep, and your family, as I did in this episode. I’m a fan of Ben’s work, his life, and who he is as a person. I’m honored to introduce you to Ben if you haven’t heard of him, and if you have, I believe you will find something valuable to your life. We had some fun at the end, and wrapped it up with an Animal Psychology quiz I gave Ben to find his spirit animal backed by Carl Jung’s work. If you want to do the test yourself, pause the episode and follow along, writing down your answers. Listen too for how Ben wrote his new book on parenting, and his advice on travel workouts, travel sleep hacks, and so much more valuable info. Follow Ben everywhere HERE.
