BenGreenfieldFitness.com/sacredhuntingpodcast My guest on this podcast, Mansal Denton, also known as "Little Beaver", is the founder of Sacred Hunting, host of the Mansal Denton Podcast, and the subject of an upcoming documentary BELOW THE DROP, which explores our relationship to life and death through hunting.  Feeling insecure in early life, he chased a woman to Europe, which led him to prison. Struggling with shame and confusion of what it meant to be a man, he found his calling with the sacred art of hunting. He now desires to share this practice with more men. His indigenous name comes from a Crow Sun Dance chief. His spiritual lineage is derived from six years of mentorship from a Muskogee/Creek medicine man named Will "Star Heart". What is Sacred Hunting? A practice that leads us back to our origins. A reminder that, for our ancestors, obtaining the food that sustains life was a spiritual act involving bloodshed. A reconnection to nature and the earth that gave us birth. An opportunity for connection and tribal brotherhood. A transformative encounter with death. Mansal Denton, like the men he leads on wilderness quests, was raised in a culture alienated from its sources of nourishment and sustenance. A youthful indiscretion that led to a prison cell fundamentally altered his life’s trajectory. Here, he shows the power and vitality that the hunt can bring into men’s lives in this perilous time, when rites of passage are notably absent. Sacred Hunting brings the richness of his hunting experience, and that of the men whose journeys he facilitates, into inspirational focus. During our discussion, you'll discover: -How a stint in the clink became a rite of passage for Mansal... -Ben's preferred style of hunting and why... -When the hunt took on its sacred form for Mansal... -An insider's look at the sacred hunting experience... -Why it's especially empowering that sacred hunts occur with men only... -How plant medicines can enhance the hunt... -What occurs after the animal is killed... -And much more...

BenGreenfieldFitness.com/benpatrick Ben Patrick (“Knees Over Toes Guy”), is the coach and founder of the “Athletic Truth Group,” (ATG) a gym and online training service based out of Clearwater Beach, Florida. Ben overcame debilitating knee and shin pain, as well as subsequent surgeries through a personal journey taking knee and foot strength training means to their fullest potential. Ben transformed his basketball career, going from being continually injured and under-achieving to having a successful junior college stint through improving his own knee health and performance. This culminated for Ben with a scholarship offer to Boston University for basketball, but due to NCAA eligibility rules, Ben turned it down and began training athletes. Many people have been recommending Ben’s methods as completely transformative in their knee pain, and recently I've begun experimenting with his programs, so though I would have Ben on the show to discuss his very unique approach to healing the knees. During our discussion, you'll discover: -How Ben became involved with treating knee pain...06:50 -Why walking backward is so beneficial to the health of the knees...21:45 -Fundamental knee exercises that can be done anywhere, anytime...37:22 -Why focus on the tibialis muscles and hip flexors...48:57 -Tools and techniques to strengthen the knees...56:16 -Why Ben doesn't heavily focus on the glutes in his program...1:03:47 -And much more...

BenGreenfieldFitness.com/mattcookdecember About two months ago, I had a deep and wide-ranging podcast conversation with Dr. Matthew Cook about COVID and vaccines. That podcast wound up creating just as many questions as it answered, including the extremely frequent, "Did Ben get vaccinated?" question (for my latest thoughts on that, check out this recent Instagram postSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

BenGreenfieldFitness.com/legadopodcast When it comes to passing on important family values and beliefs to future generations, I firmly believe that family traditions are the powerful legacy-building tool in a parent’s toolbox. Traditions, habits, rituals and routines are the glue that stick, the threads that bind and the clasps that hold a family together through the best and worst of times. As our family discussed in the recent podcast “The Official Greenfield Family Q&A Podcast: Parenting, Cooking, Traditions, Legacy-Building, Family Game Nights & More!,” we recently worked with the wonderful Rich Christiansen of Legado Family Founder, who specializes in helping families identify their core values, then create memorabilia, traditions, rituals, routines, comings and goings all based around those values. As a result, our family not only now has a “Greenfield Family Playbook” which is a guide that we can pass on to future generations in which all our values and traditions are listed, but we also have a family mission statement, a family crest being designed to hang above our fireplace, a family logo we can print on hats, shirts, mugs, and stickers, and even individual spirit animals and colors for each member of our family. If you're not already weaving traditions, rituals, routines and an emphasis on legacy into your own family, I encourage you to do so, with or without the help of a professional. It's been a transformative process that will impact the Greenfield family for generations. For more on the Greenfield family's comings and goings, you can also check out GoGreenfields.com here! To explore this topic even more, I decided to interview Rich for my podcast. Rich helps families upgrade their relationships through a program consisting of five different modules that include detailed lessons and structures crafted carefully to enhance lasting ties and strengthen bonds. His Legado product revolutionizes the way families reconnect through sharing proven models, real-world experiences, valuable insight, and giving your family engaging activities for all age groups. Build Family Legacies provides the ultimate roadmap to building the best family legacy your family could ever imagine and no other brand can do it better. Rich and his wife Gaye are the parents of five sons and a daughter they sponsor from Nepal. Together, they also share eight beautiful grandchildren. As a family, they enjoy exploring the outdoors together and always have their eyes set on big adventures. During our discussion, you'll discover: -How the Legato business has evolved to its current form... -"Dark investments" and how wealth can decimate a family... -How to begin identifying family values... -The basic model of the Legado platform... -Rites of passage and assisting children to "come of age" when they're ready... -How to foster an entrepreneurial and self-sufficient spirit in children... -An apology blended with a charter... -Key traditions Rich recommends... -And much more...

BenGreenfieldFitness.com/gg About two years ago, I had a fascinating podcast discussion with Dr. Barrie Tan, titled "Why Your Vitamin E Supplement Could Be Harming You (& The “One Plant Wonder” Alternative That Could Be The Single Most Powerful Molecule If You’re Stranded On A Desert Island)". During that discussion, Barrie briefly alluded to a special molecule he was deep in the throes of researching, a molecule that he was convinced could be one of the greatest new compounds that humankind has ever discovered for full-body health. Your body makes this thing on it's own, but your levels drop significantly with age, and thus there are remarkable longevity benefits as well as benefits for muscle protein synthesis, testosterone and hormone regulation, CoQ10 synthesis, and overall structural support for the body, along with reduction in the risk of age-related physical decline. The name of this molecule is geranylgeraniol, also known as "GG", and could very well be the next supplement Barrie would take to a desert island. After interviewing him, I'm certainly convinced it has great promise and I now plan to start taking it to assess results for myself. Dr. Barrie Tan is a research scientist with a Ph.D. in Chemistry and Biochemistry. For the last 35 years, Barrie has immersed himself in the world of Vitamin E (particularly from annatto) and is considered one of the world’s foremost experts credited with discovering a molecule called “tocotrienol” from three major natural sources. That was the topic of our last podcast, which is very much worth a listen, as the molecules we discuss in that show pair with GG like, well, turkey and cranberries. During our discussion, you'll discover: -The one supplement you should have if stuck on a desert island (Intro w/ Jonathan Lizotte)... -Why we need to care about this if our bodies make their own GG... -Specific Functions of GG... -How the endocrine system relates to GG... -Bone Health, Vitamin K and GG... -Forthcoming clinical studies of GG on humans... -Supplements you can stack with GG... -Edible and non-edible plants which contain GG... -Dr. Tan's personal diet and exercise habits... -And much more!

BenGreenfieldFitness.com/joeandben I recently got put in the hotseat by my friend Joseph Apolinar, a United States Air Force SERE (survival, evasion, resistance and escape) specialist. Whether it’s in the desert, the arctic, at sea, in the jungle or as a prisoner of war, Airmen must be prepared to survive, evade, resist and escape any situation. And it’s the SERE specialists' mission to train them. These experts know how to survive in the most remote and hostile environments on the planet. It’s up to them to make sure that when a mission doesn’t go as planned, the Airmen involved are ready for anything and can return with honor. So Joseph is kinda a badass, and even visited my property in Spokane, Washington to take me and my sons through a pretty epic, personalized wilderness survival course. But this podcast isn't about survival. It's about me. Joseph wanted to get a glimpse of my environment, to expose himself to some words or ideas that may offer insight to better my life in business, with family, and in life, and to learn how I am productive, how I schedule and live the average day, and the routines, rituals, habits that I depend upon for success and impact. During our discussion, you'll discover: -Thoughts on maintaining balance in our lives... -Why Ben begins his productive day very early in the day... -How Ben maintains balance with work structure and family/friend relationships and obligations... -How controlling your diet affects your productivity... -The one animal Ben would choose to be, and why... -And much more!
