Ben Greenfield is an American fitness coach, author and podcaster known for biohacking, the practice of using technology, nutrition and self-experimentation to improve health and performance. A former bodybuilder and Ironman triathlete, he wrote the bestseller Beyond Training and hosts the Boundless Life podcast.
Brian Rose has interviewed Greenfield twice on London Real, in 2014 and 2016. They talked about endurance racing, obstacle course racing, biohacking tools and supplements, diet, and the mental side of training.
Both interviews are listed below with a short summary.
Navigating the Frontier of Superhuman Optimisation (July 2016). The fuller of his two conversations on biohacking and performance. For his background in endurance sport, watch his 2014 interview.
Greenfield’s approach is personal experimentation. He tests diets, supplements, cold exposure and other techniques on himself and shares what he finds.
Topics in his London Real conversations ranged from ketosis, THC and CBD to pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, binaural beats and vagus nerve stimulation. These are tools he has tried on himself.
In his London Real conversations he described a week-long Navy SEAL-style training camp for civilians as one of the hardest things he had done, and said it made everyday challenges feel easy by comparison.
