The Crazy New World Of Ketone Esters (& How To Use Ketones For Sleep, Performance, Recovery, Fat Loss, Plant Medicines & Much More) With Michael Brandt Of HVMN

BenGreenfieldFitness.com/ketonepodcast 12 March 2022 Having been a consumer of a low carb or ketogenic diet since I was about 17 years old (so yeah, that's 23 years), I've covered ketones plenty in past podcasts (see resources section of shownotes for articles and podcasts). But things have recently become a bit more cutting-edge and arguably exciting in the ever-evolving realm of ketones, particularly the exogenous ketones one can consume to rapidly shift themselves into a state of safe, appetite satiated, performance dominating, inflammation crushing ketosis, and so it's high time I gave you an update on these magical molecules. My guest on this podcast, Michael Brandt, is co-founder and CEO of Health Via Modern Nutrition (hvmn.com).  H.V.M.N. launched the world’s first ketone ester in 2017, secured a $6MM contract with US Special Operations Command, and has worked with elite athletes and researchers covering areas from athletic performance, to recovery, to metabolic health and longevity. H.V.M.N. recently announced their second generation of ketones, Ketone-IQ™ which is the most cost-effective way to get into 1.0mmol+ levels of blood ketones. Ketone-IQ™ has a waitlist of 33k+ people. Michael believes ketones are a nutritional primitive, a tool for everyone’s toolkit, akin to Omega-3, caffeine, or CBD, and during our discussion, you'll discover: -Exogenous ketones defined, and the basic mechanism of action behind them... -Limiting factors in the body's ability to utilize ketones... -What is Ketone IQ from a biological standpoint... -How HVMN has dramatically cost costs of producing a ketone ester... -The average length of time of peak productivity after a Ketone IQ serving... -The impact of elevated ketone levels on sleep... -Effects of ketone esters on recovery... -Compounds that stack well with ketones... -Effects of ketones on Alzheimers progression... -Ben's tips on introducing ketones into your lifestyle... And much more! Resources from this episode: Episode sponsors: -Lucy Nicotine Gum -Levels Health -Kion Sleep -Butcher Box -Endure Do you have questions, thoughts or feedback for Michael or me?

Read Yourself Like A Book, Figure Out Exactly What Makes You Tick & Increase Your Potential For Meaningful Personal Interactions: How Human Design Works With Luis Portillo.

BenGreenfieldFitness.com/humandesign 3 March 2022 My wife, my sons and I recently went through a fascinating process called a "Human Design Reading", with my podcast guest for this show - a man named Luis Portillo. It was absolutely mind-blowing how much Luis was able to "read me like a book", armed with very little knowledge besides my birth location, birth time and birth date. Obviously, I just had to get into the nitty-gritty of how Human Design principles work for today's podcast, as it has truly helped my own decision making process and communication with other humans, including my own family, quite notably. Luis started working as a lawyer at an international corporate law firm, on the Mexican side of the Tijuana-San Diego, California Border. In a eureka moment, he resigned and moved to the tropical beaches of Puerto Vallarta and Nayarit, Mexico. Being in a new environment, he started to investigate and explore several disciplines of self-knowledge; like meditation, breath work, sweat lodges, Tapping, Reiki, and transpersonal psychology. Luis has participated in Healing work with representatives from different traditions, such as the Maya, Lakota, Huichol, and at the Michael Harner Foundation for Shamanic Studies, in San Diego, California. In 2010, Luis received a Human Design Reading, and it resonated to the extent of him studying it in depth, and since then, has given Readings to clients from all over the world. Luis has the artfulness to share his knowledge, in a clear and simple manner. He lives in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico and can be seen at nights doing Stand-Up Comedy at local venues. During our discussion, you'll discover: -Luis' journey to studying human design... -What is "Human Design"?... -The importance of the birth time, date and location related to Human Design... -The four different types of Human Design... -The unknown chakra we should be paying attention to... -People you've probably heard of who have had Human Design readings... -How differing design readings affect our mood and perception of reality... -Does an additional 2 chakras change how we should change our lifestyles and connecting with the universe... -Luis reviews Ben's Human Design reading...

Calories In = Calories Out? Exploring The True Science Behind The Calorie & The Real Truth About Fad Diets.

BenGreenfieldFitness.com/countingcalories 3 March 2022 Calorie information is ubiquitous. On packaged food, restaurant menus, and online recipes, we see authoritative numbers that tell us the calorie count of what we're about to consume. And many of us treat these numbers as gospel: counting, cutting, intermittently consuming, and, if you believe some “experts” out there, magically making them disappear. We all know, and governments advise, that losing weight is just a matter of burning more calories than we consume. Here's the thing, however, that most people have no idea about: All of the calorie counts that you see everywhere today are WRONG. In Why Calories Don't Count: How We Got the Science of Weight Loss Wrong, my guest on today's podcast, Dr. Giles Yeo, who is an obesity researcher at Cambridge University, challenges the conventional model and demonstrates that all calories are not created equal. He addresses why popular diets succeed, at least in the short term, why they ultimately fail, and what your environment has to do with your bodyweight. Once you understand that calories don't count, you can begin to make different decisions about how you choose to eat, learning what you really need to be counting instead. Practical, science-based, and full of illuminating anecdotes, this is the most entertaining dietary advice you'll ever find. During our discussion, you'll discover: -What's a calorie?.... -The A-B-C equation of measuring calories in food... -The problem with Atwater's factors... -What's a DIT value and why does that matter... -Did we get it right when it comes to labeling our food?... -Why we're terrible judges of calorie counting... -Advice for a good macronutrient ratio with minimal ultra-processed food in the diet...

How To Instantly Shift Your State of Consciousness From Anxiety To Relaxation, Wakefulness to Sleep or Brain Fogginess to Focus, With Brain.fm.

BenGreenfieldFitness.com/brainfmshow  26 February 2022 My podcast guest for this show, Dan Clark, previously worked as a website and app developer, but switched careers from building an advertising agency and came across Brain.fm. In his first session, he bought an account and was so excited after a week of use, he needed to be part of the company. He called 12 times. He finally got a job and worked the first month for free. Fast forward, he’s now the CEO, and 2019's Forbes 30 under 30. Dan is always excited about how technology can change the world, and Brain.fm is no exception - via non-invasive neurotechnology that does not require plant medicines, nootropics or drugs to shift you into an altered or elevated state of consciousness. Brain.fm holds patents on key processes for creating functional music, including technology to elicit strong neural phase locking—allowing populations of neurons to engage in various kinds of coordinated activity—and technology to remove distraction in sound. This makes their music unique, purpose-built to steer you into a desired mental state. In other words, they've found new ways to create music that helps you do what you need to do. Scientists atBrain.fm work with collaborators at academic institutions to run experiments. They looked at the effects of our technology on the brain, using fMRI and EEG, and also run large-scale behavioral tests, measuring performance on simple games. Their experiments always include a control condition (‘placebo’) of the same underlying music without Brain.fm technology applied, so they can be sure our tech is what makes the difference. In this podcast, you'll discover what their science has found, and much more. Also joining us on today's call is Dr. Kevin J.P. Woods, Director of Science at Brain.fm. During our discussion, you'll discover: -What is Brain.fm and how Dan got involved with the company... -The science behind Brain.fm and what differentiates it from other focus apps... -How the Brain.fm music tracks are developed... -How Brain.fm is different from binaural beats... -Slow wave sleep and long-term memory... -About the "focus" mode on Brain.fm... -Why it's not advisable to combine Brain.fm with popular music... -How to maximize the Brain.fm experience... -And much more...
