https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/healthiest-coffee Prepare to take the deepest dive you ever have into the art of preparing the perfect cup of coffee... ...including optimizing criteria such as the caffeine content, the amount of healthy chlorogenic acid in the brew, the antioxidants, the effect on blood lipids and much more. My guest on today's podcast, Adel Moussa, recently investigated the impressive host of coffee data he came up with after dozens of hours he spent on Google Scholar and PubMed. And he indeed found some very, very interesting coffee tips you're about to discover in today's podcast. As a trained physicist Adel, found his passion for nutrition and exercise science early during his studies when the lack of reliable, evidence-based information about supplements and training on the internet motivated him to start blogging about these topics. Over the years, his blog, www.suppversity.com, has accumulated more than 2300 fully-referenced articles and became one of the go-to sources for well-referenced, unbiased information about the latest and most relevant studies in the realms of diet, health, and fitness. In spite of that, the work Adel puts into the maintenance of the website, and the Facebook news-channel (facebook.com/SuppVersity), as well as his work as a reviewer for the "Examine Research Digest", are still a hobby for him - one that does, however, leave enough time to hit the gym several times a week.

https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/coffeepodcast My guest on today's podcast is one fascinating dude. His name is Andrew Salisbury, and originally (after setting the world record for the world's longest bungee jump), he founded Corsidian, which grew to be the largest provider of call center software in Latin America. After Corsidian installations in 13 countries and offices in 5, Andrew sold the company in 2011.  He then turned to coffee. It was clear to Andrew that coffee had tremendous health benefits, and decided to work with the best in defining what makes coffee so good for you, and to figure out how to get rid of notorious bad stuff in coffee such as pesticides, yeast, mold and a series of flavor imperfections.  He worked with a Professor named Adriana Farah for over 18 months to lab test coffees and to figure out how to source the right beans, with no consideration for cost and convenience, with the correct roast curve, organic source and freshness. He then validated his coffee against 49 of the most popular brands in the market. His goal was to decide on every step of the production chain what decision would avoid damage and maintain antioxidants in the coffee. That is not the driver for most decisions about coffee because the concern normally is taste and cost. Andrew asked a different question and the answers led him to decisions not normally made by coffee companies. The result was a coffee called "Purity", that is not the result of what Andrew did in the lab but the result of over 30 choices in the production chain prioritizing health above everything without exception. Andrew personally made every one of those decisions and explains why on today's podcast, explaining how he asked different coffee questions to the best experts in the industry, not just coffee scientists but from the farmers and everyone else involved in every step of production. He is truly knowledgeable about the difference in the process from bean to cup as it relates to the compounds that hurt or harm health, and during our discussion, you'll discover: -The mysterious debilitating illness that Amber's wife experienced while drinking 4-6 cups of coffee a day...[12:15] -Why Andrew began to study coffee at the Vanderbilt University’s Institute of Coffee Studies...[14:30] -What science knows about coffee that most consumers don't and why coffee has gotten a bad rap as early as the 1950's...[15:35] -Why coffee has gotten such a bad rap of late in California due to acrylamide levels...[17:35] -The host of chronic diseases that coffee can control or eliminate risk for...[19:40] -How to concentrate levels of chlorogenic acid in coffee to maximize antioxidant levels...[27:30] -The shocking results of the laboratory results that Andrew conducted on 49 different coffees...[30:40] -The unique three step process used to select coffees that allow for extreme flavors combined with a crystal clean health profile...[42:15] -How you can lower the caffeine content of coffee while maximizing antioxidants and taste...[49:15] -Why the highest-standard packaging method is called nitrogen flushing to gain the height of freshness...[54:00] -And much more!

https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/schott Two years ago, I raced the South Beach triathlon in Miami. Afterwards, I met up with a local bodyworker and gourmet whole food chef who had offered to come work on me. I expected the usual ho-hum "rubdown" with some kind of coconut-beef jerky-kale snack, but was instead treated to not only some of the most intense and effective bodywork I've experienced (including the use of a walker - you know - like old people or surgical recovery patients use), but also a cornucopia of everything from bone broth doughnuts to organic local beef tacos to fermented vegetable salads and beyond - along with some very stimulating intellectual discussion on iridology, fascia, detoxification, magnesium, water and much more. So who was this guy? His name is John Schott, of Schott Health. Establishing himself as one of South Florida’s most groundbreaking and pioneering leaders in the health field, John Schott set himself aside from the pack with the opening of his restaurant and retail space, Lifefood Gourmet, South Florida's first gourmet whole food restaurant. His wellness services have touched the lives of high profile celebrities, athletes, and executives. John leads workshops and detox retreats in Florida, New York City, and South America. He has attained certifications such as Iridologist from NY Center for Iridology based on Bernard Jensen Iridology, Lifefood Culinary Chef & Phoenix Fastician from Jubb’s Longevity Live Food Culinary Chef from NYC. John has studied closely with the top pioneering authors & practitioners for the last 12 years in the alternative health field. His knowledge of and experience with detoxification, nutritional cleansing, bodywork, wellness & lifestyle coaching has led him to create a unique model evolving from a decade of apprenticeship, self study, and hands-on application with hundreds of clients. He has in-depth insights into areas of health pertained to nutritional timing (or “ time conscious" eating), trigger point & fascia bodywork, nutritional cleansing, near infrared therapy, and other alternative healing modalities & longevity strategies. John has created health and performance programs for some of the world's highest performance professionals. During our discussion, you'll discover: -Why John uses an "old-person" two-button walker for deep tissue massage therapy...[9:35] -John's theory of calcification and the mentor in California who taught this to him...[12:00] -Why John uses deionized water, and how he ensures the water removes areas of calcification within the body...[16:00] -How something called "iridology" can be used to allow health assessments via photographs of your eyes...[36:40] -The camera attachment you can get for your iPhone to do your own iridology photos...[48:15] -How John is "rewilding" himself and his family while living in a relatively urban area of Miami...[56:35] -Why John uses near infrared light therapy when he does deep tissue work...[61:55] -And much more!

https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/tinfoil   Can you really feel years younger and make unexplained symptoms vanish with the click of a button — the “Airplane Mode” on your cell phone? Investigative health journalist Nicolas Pineault used to think this all sounded like something only crazy people wearing tinfoil hats would say. But the overwhelming amount of independent scientific evidence linking electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from wireless technologies with increased risks of cancer, infertility, insomnia, and depression sure has the uncanny ability to change a man’s mind. His new book "The Non-Tinfoil Guide to EMFs: How to Fix Our Stupid Use of Technology" is a simple and unconventional book that will teach you exactly how to reduce your exposure to this brand new 21st-century pollution without going back to the Stone Age. In it, he covers... -What your smartphone, your wifi router and your microwave oven have in common (page 9) -Why policy makers and scientists all worldwide don’t agree about whether EMFs are dangerous or not (page 21) -Is Electro-Hypersensitivity as popularized in the TV show “Better Call Saul” real? Or is it all psychological? (page 62) -Why carrying a cell phone in your pocket can harm your fertility (201 studies prove it) (page 72) -The 1-click fix to reduce cellphone EMFs by 84% (page 142) -What is safer? Speakerphone, earbuds or a Bluetooth ear piece? (page 155) -The #1 worst source of EMF radiation at home (page 160) -Why baby monitors are worse than smartphones, and better alternatives (page 208) It’s true. The jury is still out about whether cellphone radiation is the new smoking or just a temporary scare. But why take chances? Nicolas Pineault is a health journalist who has published more than 1,500 online articles through a daily newsletter called Nick & Gen’s Healthy Life. In 2017, he authored this unconventional book endorsed by top health authorities such as Dr. Mercola, a book that combines common sense and humor to tackle the very serious topic of electromagnetic pollution and its effects on human health.   During our discussion, you'll discover: -The NO/ONOO (nitric oxide/peroxynitrite) cycle and how research by Dr. Martin Pall shows us why chemicals, heavy metals, mold toxins, sugar and junk food, and a bunch of other inflammatory factors each contribute to increasing our sensitivity to EMFs, (and vice-versa)...[10:00]   -How stimulating a pathway called the "NRF2" pathway can help calm down this cycle and make you less EMF sensitive...[23:00]   -EMF shielded clothes, and why Nicolas is now convinced that they actually work...[25:50] -How you can reduce your phone's radiation by 80% by using just 3G instead of 4G/LTE...[33:45]   -How a handful of meta analyses shatter the skeptics beliefs that EMF's do nothing to human, animal and plant biology...[38:55]   -Why you shouldn't hold a cell phone in your hand (and what to use instead)...[44:00]   -Why you need to be very careful with grounding mats and earthing mats, and a supplement to take at night before you ground or earth...[49:45]   -The mineral magnetite that is found in the body of birds, humans and other animals, and how it reacts with EMF...[57:55]   -The importance of metal free inks and natural pigments in tattoos...[62:25]   -Whether or not bluetooth is an issue compared to Wifi and cell phones...[66:40]   -And much more!   Resources from this episode:   -The Non-Tinfoil Guide to EMFs: How to Fix Our Stupid Use of Technology   -Dr. Martin Pall   -Dr. Arthur Pilla   -Moldy documentary   -Tyler Lebaron hydrogenated water episode   -Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD   -Prof. Trevor Marshall   -EMF blocking underwear on Amazon   -The DefenderShield case Ben uses   -My Jack Kruse interview on Bluetooth   -Martin Pall's presentation on how EMFs affect voltage-gated calcium channels -Martin Pall's presentation on the NO/ONOO- cycle and how EMFs and chemicals act in synergy   - Study from Pilla which shows how calcium channels are activated after less than 5 seconds of EMF exposure   -Study by Magda Havas where she mentions that up to 33% of the population suffers from mild to moderate symptoms of electro sensitivity   -Cellphone use increases ipsilateral brain cancer risks by 33% -Medical hypothesis -- sauna therapy might act by raising BH4 levels   -Ochratoxin A (common mold toxin) inhibits the NRF2 pathway -Olive leaf extract mitigates EMF damage, probably because of NRF2 stimulation   -EGCG stimulates NRF2   -Quercetin stimulates NRF2 -Molecular hydrogen stimulates NRF2 Electrosmog Rx, the EMF course for health practitioners I've put together with Dr. Klinghardt, Lynch, Mercola, etc. Live beta launching from Feb 26 to Mar 11. -Sophia Health Institute, Dr. Klinghardt's practice   -Background microwave radiation levels are a quintillion times higher than back in Mother Nature -Prof. Trevor Marshall study using EMF-blocking caps to help autoimmune patients   -Spartan underwear   -2016 review on EMFs and oxidative stress   -2012 Indian review on EMFs and animals + nature   -Defender Shield   -Earthing   -Best source for earthing research -Metal framed glasses increase EMF exposure to the head   -How MRI might react with metals in tattoos   -Silver fillings leach more mercury when exposed to cell phones   -Silver fillings leach more mercury when exposed to wifi   Show Sponsors: -Kion Aminos - For for muscle recovery, better cognition, reduced cravings, immunity, try Kion Aminos from GetKion.com. -Four Sigmatic - Go to FourSigmatic.com/BenGreenfield for 15% off. -Organifi - Go to Organifi.com and use discount code GREENFIELD for 20% off your purchase.

Why Branched Chain Amino Acids Don't Work [00:23:24] Robert says: I have a question about Branch Chain Amino Acids. You say that you have concerns about their insulinogenic or glycemic effects but Dominic D'Agostino says that Leucine is a more of a ketogenic amino acid and that it didn't have much effect on blood sugar. I take up to 5 grams of Leucine before a workout, especially if have been fasting to help reduce muscle loss. If you can dig into this, that would be awesome. In my response, I recommend: -Kion Aminos How To Get A Better Score On A VO2 Max Test [00:31:22] Andrew says: I have a Vo2 Max, incline, weighted fitness test coming up that I need to do for a fire department recruitment process. I was wondering if you have any tips, potential biohacking or training protocols that I can start using in preparation for this test. I will be wearing about 60lbs of gear, walking at a 12% incline for 12 - 15 minutes. Any help would be great!

I am wondering if there is anything specific that I can do pre and post surgery to maximize its effectiveness. I will follow my doctor's instructions but was wondering if there is anything I can do via diet, training or biohacks to maximize the treatment's effectiveness.
