Ben Greenfield: The Unconventional Path to Becoming A Superhuman | TUH #083

About this video

Brecka and biohacker Ben Greenfield trade wide-ranging views in London: seed oils versus sugar, fuel use and glycogen limits in endurance exercise, morning light and cortisol timing, personalised supplementation based on genetics for Greenfield’s sons, and where longevity innovation is heading. Greenfield closes by arguing that satisfaction, meaning and faith matter more than any stack of biohacks, in his view.

Key takeaways

• Greenfield claims vegetable oils incorporated into cell membranes are a bigger concern than sugar, in his argument
• Greenfield describes fat stores as vast compared with limited carbohydrate stores for exercise fuel
• He argues delaying intense light, coffee and cold can shape the morning cortisol response, as he practices it
• Greenfield states meaning and a relationship with God are foundational to being an ‘ultimate human’, in his view
