 About the time this post goes live, I'll be on a plane over the ocean on my way to race a triathlon in Japan.

 Needless to say, that means we've got a quick break from the usual podcast programming, and instead, a super special episode for you. 

 In today's episode, you're going to discover how to rewire your brain and body with something called "neurolinguistic programming", or NLP.

 I got one of the world's leading NLP experts on the show. His name is Andy Murphy, and we take a dive off the deep end in the audio - walking you through an actual NLP session.

 The real action starts at about 30 minutes in. Feel free to leave your questions, comments and feedback below. Keep reading to listen to the audio now or download for later.

 Also, here's a video that tells you more about the guy who did the NLP session - Mr. Andy Murphy.

How To Rewire Your Brain and Body With Neurolinguistic Programming

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

In this episode with Justin Roethlingshoefer, you'll hear from a former NHL performance coach turned health entrepreneur whose new book,Holy Health, is the one I chose for my father-son book club this month. This is not another eat-honey-and-drink-milk Bible health book. Justin is a genuine biohacker who works with pro athletes worldwide, and he has woven deep spiritual and physiological science into the same framework.

You'll learn why the modern obsession with optimization can quietly become idolatry, how the drive to control your metrics keeps your nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight and lowers your HRV, and the five "hearts" that trap high performers in striving. You'll also get the practical side: his full morning and evening rhythms, why he starts his day at 6 p.m. rather than at sunrise, the breathwork he does midday in the grass, his exact zone two and zone five weekly targets, and how he folds three and a half hours of zone two into family walks with a weighted vest. It's a conversation about doing less frantic optimizing and more intentional stewardship, and it may reframe how you think about every biohack you own.

The Myth Of The Perfect Health Routine: How To Raise Your HRV By Giving Up Control, With Justin Roethlingshoefer

Full show notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/504

In this solosode, you'll get the latest research on three questions I keep getting asked. First, seed oils: a brand-new randomized controlled trial put 52 adults on either a low or a typical Western intake of linoleic acid for 12 weeks, and the results are important less for what they found than for what they didn't. You'll hear why arachidonic acid didn't move, why EPA dropped instead, what that does to your inflammatory balance, which seed oils I still think are worth avoiding, and the one dietary adjustment that matters most if seed oils are part of your diet.

You'll also learn the surprisingly small amount of strength training that delivers the biggest longevity payoff, according to a 30-year study of more than 147,000 people, plus why pairing it with cardio is the single best exercise combination for blood pressure. I break down concurrent training, the interference effect between AMPK and mTOR, and when combining strength and cardio in one session helps you versus when it holds you back. Finally, I answer a listener question on peptides with six practical rules for stacking them safely, including which ones should never share a syringe, which ones cancel each other out at the receptor, and an honest look at how thin the human evidence really is behind the popular Wolverine stack.

Eat *This* If You Consume Seed Oils, Best Way To Combine Strength & Cardio, Peptide "Stacking" Rules & More! Solosode #504

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

In this episode with Julie Gibson Clark, I'm highlighting a throwback conversation because the gap it exposed has only gotten wider. There's a leaderboard called the Rejuvenation Olympics where people submit a blood test that measures how fast they're aging. When we recorded, Julie was a 55-year-old single mom in Phoenix making under $100,000 a year, sitting at number two in the world, aging at roughly two-thirds the speed of the calendar, and ahead of people like Bryan Johnson, who was spending $2 million a year chasing the same number. Her budget was $27 a month for a gym membership and $79 a month for a supplement. This February, Bryan Johnson opened an elite longevity program at $1 million a year with three spots, an interview process, and a requirement that you hire a dedicated assistant to keep up with the protocol.

You'll learn what Julie actually does: sleep protected like it's sacred, walking and rucking, strength training and VO2 max work, a pile of vegetables every day, one supplement, prayer, and stillness. Nothing that requires an executive assistant. You'll also hear her full health history, from heavy metal toxicity and chelation therapy to the genetics that shaped her approach, exactly what she eats and when, her supplement stack, her sleep and sauna routines, and why she refuses to name a target lifespan. Now 56 and teaching as founding faculty at a longevity academy, Julie is proof that the affordable end of longevity practice still gets you remarkably far.
