Science “Lightning Round” With Ben: Burn...

BEN GREENFIELD
About this episode

Ready to ignite your metabolism, conquer sleep deprivation, uncover mind-bending water facts, and explore the impact of spirituality and religion on your health and wellness?

In today's solosode, join me for an electrifying lightning round where you'll get to embark on a rapid-fire journey through the latest scientific discoveries and practical health tips that can transform your daily life.

I'll kick things off by examining how brief bursts of high-intensity exercise, like doing 10 burpees or jogging up and down a flight of stairs, can mitigate the adverse effects of sleep deprivation and keep you performing at your best. You'll also delve into the science behind cognitive enhancers like creatine and NAD, exploring how these compounds can be stacked to simulate the crucial DNA and cellular repair mechanisms normally occurring during sleep. I'll also reveal the secret power of napping and how certain adaptogens like reishi extract and ashwagandha can make your naps even more rejuvenating. Additionally, you'll discover the importance of structured water, the potential dangers and benefits of the new Ray-Ban smart glasses, and the intriguing link between spirituality, health, and longevity.

Whether you're seeking ways to enhance your longevity, optimize your life, or simply incorporate a few health and wellness tips into your routine, this episode is your go-to resource for the knowledge and tools you need to thrive.
