Sleep deprivation can wreak havoc on your brain, but what if there was a way to mitigate the effects? In this Habits and Hustle bonus episode, I am joined by fitness expert Ben Greenfield, who reveals his go-to stack for combating the cognitive consequences of too little shut-eye.


We also dive into using a continuous glucose monitor to optimize diets and discuss the potential pros and cons of dairy milk alternatives. We even discuss the role of dietary fructose and how it impacts metabolic health, particularly for inactive individuals.


Ben Greenfield is a renowned health consultant, speaker, and New York Times bestselling author specializing in fitness, nutrition, and wellness. As a former athlete and current biohacker, he has been recognized as one of America's top Personal Trainers and among the most influential people in health and fitness. Ben hosts a popular website and podcast, speaks globally on longevity and biohacking, and is the co-founder of KION, a nutritional supplements company. 


What We Discuss:

  • Ben Greenfield's supplement stack for sleep deprivation: NAD and creatine
  • NAD for cellular repair, creatine for restoring brain ATP
  • Why NAD + creatine beat stimulants for sleep-deprived people
  • Greenfield's personal CGM use for blood sugar tracking and accountability
  • Dairy milk alternatives: A2 milk, goat/camel milk, nut milks
  • Role of dietary fructose (e.g. from agave): concerns and caveats
