What's The Difference Between A HEALTHY Gut & A Gut "Missing" Key Beneficial Bacterial Strains? (& How To Fast-Track Your Gut Back To Balance) With Dr. Adam Perlman

Full show notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/floridahunt

In this episode, recorded at Lightsey Family Ranch in Venus, Florida, I'm joined by my sons River and Terran and repeat guest Adam Wenguer, founder of Element Health, for the first stop in a father-and-sons adventure project inspired by former Boundless guest Sahil Bloom's The 5 Types of Wealth.

You'll hear the ethics and deeper meaning of hunting, why harvesting your own meat changes your relationship with food, and how to cook wild game so it actually tastes great. We also get into spearfishing and free diving, teaching kids breath work and comfort with heat and cold from a young age, and a grounded, plain-language look at cannabis and the endocannabinoid system, including how CBD, CBG, and CBN each work.

Adam is a University of Florida graduate in applied physiology and kinesiology who spent more than a decade as a strength, conditioning, and health coach at a five-star wellness resort before founding Element Health in 2017. He is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, a meditation practitioner, and a passionate advocate for ethical, conscious hunting, and he lives on a farm in Florida with his family.

Hunting, Spearfishing & The Truth About Cannabis: A Father-Sons Florida Adventure with Adam Wenguer

Full show notes:https://bengreenfieldlife.com/saunapodcast

In this episode with Luke Chapman and Owen Buchanan, founders of Western Sol, you'll hear the story behind the custom sauna I recently had built in my backyard in Idaho, and the story behind the company itself, which started when a mold exposure in Hawaii sent Luke into daily sauna use. You'll gain insights into the actual science of heat shock proteins and dynorphins (the opioid peptides your body releases under heat stress), why most sauna wood is loaded with VOCs, and how thermally pressed aspen and spruce sourced from Estonia solves that problem entirely. We'll also touch on how Western Sol engineers oxygen-rich air recirculation, Himalayan salt therapy, and even full electrical grounding directly into the sauna floor, and you'll get a full walkthrough of what it costs to get a custom or prefabricated sauna built.

Luke Chapman and Owen Buchanan are the founders of Western Sol, a custom and prefabricated sauna company based in Idaho. Both grew up around custom home construction in their family businesses before turning their focus toward building non-toxic, low-VOC saunas designed to support healing of the mind, body, and soul. They travel throughout Europe to source materials and study traditional sauna culture at its origin.

Dynorphins, Heat Shock Proteins & The Healthiest, Hottest Sauna On The Planet, with Luke Chapman & Owen Buchanan

Full show notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/signalspodcast

In this episode with Tom Moss, founder and CEO of Vital Signals, you'll hear how a near-fatal hypertensive crisis during a family vacation became the founding moment for a device that may finally solve the problem of getting accurate blood pressure readings in real life without a cuff. Tom explains why blood pressure is the single most important indicator of long-term cardiovascular health and yet one of the least accurately measured, what the cuff gets wrong, and how Vital Signals achieved the scientific breakthrough that other companies failed to crack: accurate, calibration-free blood pressure monitoring from a ring. You'll also hear about the interplay between sleep, stress, hormones, sauna, cold, and blood pressure, what the Signal Ring's data is already revealing about human arterial health, and where this technology could go over the next decade.

Tom Moss is the founder and CEO of Vital Signals, building at the intersection of heart health, technology, and everyday behavior. After his experience with undiagnosed hypertension, he became focused on why some of the most critical health signals remain so difficult and often stressful to understand.

Pre-order your Signal Ring from LIFE Market and measure your blood pressure without the cuff. Ships October 2026.
