The Fascinating Science of Posture (& Full-Body Health Effects!) With LIFE Network Expert Annette Verpillot

Full Show Notes: bengreenfieldlife.com/pranamaya

In this fascinating episode, I’m coming to you from the breathtaking shores of Belize, at a one-of-a-kind wellness resort called Prana Maya. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mara Kevan and Steve Hall, the passionate visionaries behind this toxin-free oasis, to share what makes this place and their approach to health so extraordinary.

From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the pristine environment, the focus on farm-to-table organic cuisine, and the way everything is designed to help you leave feeling better than when you arrived. We dig into everything—why food is truly medicine, how Mara combined her background as a rock-and-roll tour manager with years of medical and holistic wellness expertise, and how Steve’s entrepreneurial journey led him to build this literal paradise on the world's second-largest reef.

 You'll also find details on our Boundless Couples Retreat, which Jessa and I are hosting at Prana Maya from November 10–14, 2026, where you'll have access to five days of daily workouts, relationship workshops, and luxury biohacking treatments inside a stunning oceanside setting. 

Steve Hall is a serial entrepreneur whose four-decade career spans construction, apartment communities, assisted living, and drug and alcohol rehabilitation, with Prana Maya representing the bold next chapter of that journey.

Dr. Mara Kevan is a licensed acupuncturist and functional medicine physician with over 20 years of clinical experience and an oncology specialty, who also spent years managing world tours for the Rolling Stones and luxury travel for some of the most discerning names in music, film, and politics before merging both worlds into the retreat experience she offers today.

If you’re curious about the magic that happens when holistic health, adventure, and total rejuvenation intersect in a stunning natural setting, this episode is a must-listen.

The Romantic Island Retreat You’ve Never Heard Of (& How To Go There With The Greenfields!)

Full Show Notes: bengreenfieldlife.com/adaptive

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Cody Strodtman, a naturopathic doctor, acupuncturist, and the author of "Your Life, Your Choice: The Rise of Adaptive Medicine." Broadcasting from their respective homes in Idaho and Portland, Oregon, Ben and Cody dive deep into the science of adaptive medicine—a philosophy that encourages listeners to transform everyday lifestyle practices into powerful medicine.

Cody unpacks the essence of adaptive medicine, drawing from a decade-long obsession with understanding health beyond just treating disease. You’ll hear compelling discussions on circadian rhythms, environmental hormesis (think: cold plunges and sauna sessions), breathwork, fasting, and innovative techniques to optimize both body and mind. Cody shares science-backed routines—from inspiratory muscle training that can lower blood pressure, to strategic uses of cold and heat for boosting immunity and recovery.

Dr. Cody Strodtman is a leading authority in Adaptive Medicine, blending his medical expertise and training as a Naturopathic Doctor and Acupuncturist, with a passion for empowering individuals to optimize their health.
