Boundless Life

I’m often asked… …why… …instead of podcasting, interviewing and speaking about  one  specific topic, I have such a huge variety of guests on  my show , from vegans to Paleo-ists, from biohackers to mushroom harvesters, from minimalist exercisers to ultraendurance masochists… …why… …instead of recommending  one  single mighty exercise program, I write about and feature everything from super-slow tr...

If you've been paying attention to the BenGreenfieldFitness Instagram page lately, you may know that I've just returned from a big axis deer hunt in Texas. Before that, I was hunting whitetail deer in Washington and elk in Colorado. I spent the summer competing in TrainToHunt bowhunting, meatpacking and obstacle course competition, I won the Idaho TrainToHunt, and now I've got my eyes on safari hu...

Prepare for your mind to be blown by today's podcast guest. Mine certainly was.

If you've ever wanted to know what makes you tick... Exactly why you think the way you do... What driv...

Imagine a stadium full of screaming fans. Zoom in on the contestants. They're sweating from the intensity of the competition. What could it be? Boxing? MMA? Basketball? Tennis? American ninja warrior? Nope . It's electronic sports, also known as eSports, and the "athletes" are headset-wearing, energy-drink-guzzling, smart-drug-popping gamers. And this sport is booming.  Top eSports tournaments now...

Mark Sisson is my guest on today's podcast. Mark is the de-facto leader of the primal and paleo lifestyle movement, and unlike the many instant and self-anointed experts who have descended upon the endurance scene in recent years, Mark boasts a rich history in endurance sports. He's run a 2:18 marathon, has a 4th place Hawaii Ironman finish to his credit, has spearheaded triathlon’s global anti-do...

Last year, I posted an article entitled " How To Turn Your Desk Into A Calorie Decimating Workstation ", and created the video " How Should You Stand At A Standing Desk? "  In both those resources, and on many podcasts (including this one on "How To Burn More Fat At Work ), I've talked about and featured a special kind of treadmill called a "TrueForm" treadmill . See, when I set about to modify my...

Have you ever dealt with frustrating wrist pain or carpal tunnel or tennis elbow or golfer's elbow or climber's elbow - pain that is aggravated by typing and computer work? Have you ever wished you could walk one, five or ten miles while still being able to work on a book, a project, or a paper? Have you ever wished you could simply talk your thoughts into existence, and have them appear in your e...

I get diet books in the mail all the time. No, I don't have some kind of online shopping fetish for diet books. People just  send  them to me. Unsolicited. As a matter of fact, it's a well-known fact in the health and nutrition industry that one of the fastest ways to "make a buck" is to write and sell a diet book. It plays on the psychology that people are constantly looking for next answer to th...

A couple years ago, at the Ancestral Health Symposium, I presented a poster entitled   "Biohacking The Hazards of Sitting" . As you can see in the video below, I actually thought I was being quite witty to present a poster on the dangers of sitting while sitting with poor posture in a folding chair. It's actually been over five years since I've adopted the habit of frequently alternating positions...

A few weeks ago, I published an extremely popular article entitled " How Breath-Holding, Blood-Doping, Shark-Chasing, Free-Diving & Ketosis Can Activate Your Body’s Most Primal Reflex. " In that article, I mentioned a guy named Ted Harty, from Immersion Freediving in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida . At over six feet tall and 230 solid pounds, Ted is a big, bold, loud, extroverted character. He looks like...

39-year-old cyclist Svein Tuft, pictured above, is known as one of the most tenacious, tough and aggressive professional cyclists in the Tour De France. His name has become synonymous with a spirit of against-all-odds tenacity, and perhaps most amazingly, he began entry into the world of professional cycling many years later than most riders have their first race. It was an unorthodox start to his...

Ever heard of "orthorexia"? It's is an eating disorder characterized by an extreme or excessive preoccupation with avoiding foods perceived to be unhealthy.  In other words, it's being absolutely obsessed with eating all things paleo, gluten-free, vegan, raw, non-GMO, organic, and fair-trade, and counting every friggin' calorie of it. Or how about "body dysmorphic disorder?" This one is characteri...

BenGreenfieldFitness.com/brokengut You've probably seen it before. The classic photo of a marathoner bent over the road, puking their guts out. Or a triathlete hunched over with abdominal pain on the bike. Or the bodybuilder wandering around the gym with persistent annoying gas, the weekend warrior unable to get through a single run without bloating or diarrhea, or the health nut who seems to be c...

In my video " How Should You Stand At A Standing Desk ", one of the items I highlight is a springy, soft and supple standing mattress made from a special reactive material that allows my foot to sink in deep and then spring right back to the original position - creating a unique float-like sensation, kind of like a memory foam for the feet. This mat, called a " kyBounder " encourages my body to co...
