Ben Greenfield taught the world to live better. And nearly lost everything worth living for.
Boundless: The Man Who Became Human follows Ben Greenfield through the collapse of a certainty he built an entire career on. For twenty years, his life was the proof. He was optimized in every direction, which only a select few could reach. This is the story of what happened just outside that reach, filmed with access that wellness media has never been given before. What it uncovers has nothing to do with biohacking.
A film by @calebapplegate. From executive producer @ZacEfron.
One night only, in select cities. World premiere. A live podcast recording. An open Q&A with Ben and his family.

I’m sorry, but if this is true (sent to me by my mom who owns a restaurant that barely gets by already) then F*$k that. I’m sick of feeling like I’m living in a totalitarian regime. Thanksgiving & Christmas (with my gun strapped on) are NOT canceled at the Greenfield home.
Is it just me, or is response by media and corporations to the recent Capitol Hill violence far greater than response that occurred to the riots which happened over the summer? I don’t read/watch much news but from what I have seen it kind of seems this way. Pls explain to me.
Vaccines do indeed cause autism (and for Pete's sake, don't trust @snopes for your news on this matter or any other alternative health news): articles.mercola.com/sites/a…
Those of you taking Vitamin D for immune system remember: based on circadian cues best timing is MORNING. Don't supplement with Vitamin D before bed, but rather with a breakfast that includes fats.
B...b...but everybody said I was *ridiculous* two months ago when I recommended IV vitamin C...now the ER docs are doing it? ibtimes.com/coronavirus-trea…
I agree with @bryan_johnson that rank priority is: number 1: sleep; number 2: exercise; number 3: diet. The reasoning? If you sleep well, you’re more likely to exercise. And if you exercise well, you’re more likely to eat well. 💪💪
Men who can do more than 40 push-ups at once have a 25 times lower risk of events related to heart disease compared to men who can do fewer than 10 push-ups (how many can YOU do?): goo.gl/kTcA7X
❌Ruthlessly eliminating inflammatory oils from your diet, particularly vegetable oil, is one of the best nutrition decisions you can make for your overall health.
How come a woman’s body is “my body/my choice” when it comes to abortion, but not “my body/my choice” when it comes to wearing a COVID mask? #justsayin
Over the next week, here on my Twitter account, I’ll be releasing as many helpful resources as possible for coronavirus. Since I am quarantining myself for at least the next four weeks, I’ve got plenty of time to be researching and releasing information for you so stay tuned.
My *double-masked* @lyft driver just threatened three times to kick me out of her car when she noticed my mask slip below my nose. It saddens my heart to see the fear people now live with. She had a disease package in her backseat, not a fellow member of her own species.
Well, huh. This Week CDC Quietly Updated COVID-19 Numbers - Only 9,210 Americans Died From COVID-19 Alone - Rest Had Different Other Serious Illnesses thegatewaypundit.com/2020/08…
About the time this pandemic began, I began waking at 4AM-ish like clockwork. Is this happening to anyone else? If so, would love some insight on whether universal human energy might be affected here on a global scale. Perhaps a question for the quantum physicists out there...
That nice feeling I had this afternoon...when you find a super old bitcoin hard storage device in your safe from some coins purchased 8 years ago. #win.
Just pulled stats. Getting 1,145,989 podcast downloads each month. That's up from 13 downloads when I launched 12 years ago. Consistency is king in online ventures, friends.
Sooo...I just read that @realDonaldTrump says @JoeBiden will get an ass-cheek shot of drugs to amp him up for tomorrow night's debate. Brain biohackers: what's your bet on the drug? Semax? Selank? Modafinil? Adderal? Coke? I'd personally go for some kinda racetam/choline combo.
Wow...athletes who use a training plan matched to their genotype get almost 3x the results compared to athletes who trained with a protocol mismatched to their genotype: bit.ly/3sdSt48
In this new study, walking 5,000 steps or more during a single day increased fat oxidation compared to walking only 2,000 steps, and walking 10,000 steps during a single day improved the metabolic response to a high-fat pizza meal. Not surprising: bit.ly/3t42nJQ
This author thinks @joerogan gives his celebrity guests free alcohol and drugs then sits back and waits for them to say something stupid. C'mon. It's just an interesting show during which people get to talk freely (and it kicks the ass of "real" news). slate.com/culture/2019/03/jo…
"Sleeping Low" (not reloading glycogen stores after evening workouts) can lead to game-changing performance gains within only 3 weeks of training: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2674…
For everyone who tweets at me to "stick to fitness bro" & not to venture into categories like politics, economics, etc. - don't you think it ironic u are voicing that on a platform designed by @jack - an ex-vintage clothing model? So he should have stuck to fashion? #just1example
Wait…you are telling me that a low-carb, high-fat diet combined with fasting is actually GOOD for your heart? Shocking. 😉 journals.lww.com/co-endocrin…
I am not against vaccinations. They have saved many lives. I was vaccinated. My children were vaccinated. But I also think we need to respectfully pay attention to potential adverse health effects. I rarely visit the topic, and had no idea until I did how charged this issue was.
I used the wrong supplement bottle and accidentally consumed 100 µg of LSD before my massage last night. Not joking. Now*that* was an interesting evening…
Just recorded an epic podcast with Twitter CEO @jack Dorsey. We covered advanced stress mitigation tactics, extreme time-saving workouts, DIY cold tubs, hormesis, one-meal-a-day & more - comes out March 23 at BenGreenfieldFitness.com
The association between handgrip strength and anti-aging/longevity strikes again...do your pullups, deadlifts, dead hangs and grip strength, folks. Click here for the latest research on this: bit.ly/3qYM2SA
From the @joerogan podcast "Why The Heart Is Not A Pump" - here is the fluid dynamics and physics behind why the heart is more of a pressure/flow system: rsarchive.org/RelArtic/Marin… (the muscles *are* a pump and can assist with this btw)
My friend just asked how to make liver taste good. I told him thin slice, soak for 24 hours in kefir or buttermilk, rinse, pat dry, then dredge in egg yolk & almond or coconut flour - fry on cast iron in butter with onions, mushrooms & bacon. Season with salt, pepper & hot sauce.
The podcast with @jack is officially live: “Advanced Stress Mitigation Tactics, Extreme Time-Saving Workouts, DIY Cold Tubs, Hormesis, One-Meal-A-Day & More.” - this guy is a true hacker of health... bengreenfieldfitness.com/pod…
Walking is one of the most underrated activities in one's health arsenal🚶🏻♂️
It facilitates neuron growth, circulates blood, lymph, and cerebrospinal fluid, decreases cortisol, resets the eyes from looking at screens, strengthens tendons and ligaments, & stabilizes blood sugar.
Big elephant in the room on recent @joerogan debate with @chriskresser & @lightningwilks - very little discussion or antinutrients & environmental impact of non-omnivorous diets. Recommend @CarnivoreMD get on JRE to address this.
I'm sick of media fear-mongering tactics. They throw this "Tom Coburn Senator death" right up there with the coronavirus news to make it look like it was a virus-related death when it had nothing to do with CV. S'pose you'll sell more ads, @CNN .
I say we drug test both of them and I'll predict Trump = cocaine + modafinil and Biden = adderall + modafinil. The White House needs a scientific biohacking adviser so I'll volunteer just to get these guys on "the good stuff" and get these debates REAL amped up.
I 100% agree with @Mark_Sisson - alcohol can be healthy for you, the research on alcohol “shrinking your brain” is very weak, and I’ll continue to have a small glass of wine with dinner at night, thank you very much - “Is zero really the only safe amount of alcohol?” marks-newsletter-4655f1.beeh…

To everyone poo-pooing fact that I'm doing a liver cleanse, I'm actually *quantifying* pre-post liver enzymes, inflammatory markers & GGT. If it's all bunk, data will tell. Reminder: I have MS in physiology with emphasis in pharma & nutrition/C-ISSN /CSCS. I study this shit.
I think I am about to go bat shit crazy from all the “can I do this while fasting bro?” comments that appear every time I do a food or a drink post. I really don’t know how I can be any more clear: ***if it has calories in it and you are truly fasting, don’t eat or drink it***.
Researchers reduced WHITE RICE calories 50-60% by adding coconut oil (3% of rice weight) to boiling water before cooking. The oil enters the starch granules, changing its architecture so that it becomes resistant to the action of digestive enzymes. bit.ly/3nccRDJ
I've noticed that systematically over the past 2 weeks I've been removed from Wikipedia, Greatist and a smattering of other "popular" websites. Hmm...#youknowyouvemadeitwhen#FreeSpeech

🧵 Tomorrow, I turn 43.
But I feel like I’m 18 years old.
What are my biggest wins right now for unstoppable energy ⚡ and incredible productivity? 🚀
Keep reading to find out my top 11 tips. ⬇️
💪🏼In my opinion, the BEST pre-workout mix you can make yourself that beats anything on the market is👉🏼: 5g creatine, 50-100mg caffeine, 1 serving ketone esters, 10g essential amino acids and 1/2 tsp sodium bicarbonate.
Try this and tell me you don't think you're on steroids!
Twitter is a wonderful platform for creative discussion, sharing ideas and open dialogue, my friends. I do not believe Twitter's best use is for discriminating against and engaging in hate speech against anyone who voices a thought that doesn't align with your own beliefs...
I do not like idea of forced vaccinations. But I do think that a family with COVID can be lawfully quarantined without violating constitutional rights. If they break quarantine and infect or hurt someone, they should also be held legally liable. So there's that. How about you?
I recommend creatine to just about anyone who asks what basic supplement they should be on to cover as many bases as possible💥.
It's one of the most widely studied supplements boasting a myriad of benefits ranging from alleviating brain fog to increasing cognitive performance.
This week, my wife and I both had mild sniffles for two days, and she couldn't taste her coffee for one morning. So we both went to Walgreens and both tested positive for COVID. I'll probably do a podcast on our management approach, and I know not everyone responds the same...
As soon as I had symptoms, I did 4000IU Vit D/day, 3x2000IU Vitamin C/day, zinc, glutathione, nebulized silver/H2O2, ozone water and the peptides BPC-157/TB-500/TA1. Repeated for 3 consecutive days...and that's it. She did the same.
My wife...the huntress. I realize this may be controversial for many, but Jessa will take this goat meat home to our family and prepare stews and roasts that will feed our growing sons, and she worked her ass off for an ethical, well placed shot. Proud o… bit.ly/30wX5Du
I LOVE all my followers and the amazing knowledge I get from you, but if you see me post a wonderful, tasty food photo and you fret about carb count and anti-nutrients, you probably need to live a little. :)
Yet another #fasting study suggests it’s not about the calorie restriction, but rather just the long periods of time without shoving food into your gaping maw: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2975…
A HUGE reason for the abortion problem in America is that selfish people just want to have sex whenever and however they want, and then be able to nuke the inconvenient consequences, in this case a sacred human being. I realize that there are some exceptions, but #justsaying.
High-dose creatine preserves cognitive function during sleep deprivation: nature.com/articles/s41598-0… (0.35 grams per kilogram of body weight, which for most is 15-25g - more than the standard 5g dose).
Sunday is my "no training"/"spiritual disciplines" day - today: 18hr fast, followed by stacking psilocybin/lion's mane/niacin for a 60 min sauna breathwork session, following by a cold plunge swim in Spokane river. Will detail session in Friday's roundup on my site. Stay tuned.
One more interesting stat. I started an Amazon account when I launched podcast & first monthly check was 60 cents. Monthly payout from Amazon 12 yrs later is $18,586.28/month. Again...consistency is king! Do the hard work day after day, driven by purpose & success will follow.
A few days after @wired blasts me for mentioning ozone benefits - "NO NEW COVID-19 deaths in Balearic Islands as Ibiza clinic becomes first in Spain to use pioneering ozone therapy" - theolivepress.es/spain-news/…
Am I the only one who thinks this is CRAZY?... a proposal to give us patches that make us allergic to meat and smart drugs that make us want to have fewer babies, all for "climate change" management: bit.ly/3sBNx8g
115 year old "oldest living man" says: "I always stayed in the fresh air and went barefoot everywhere. I slept out of doors in the summer. And I would drink milk and eat cheese and potatoes." iol.co.za/travel/world/i-did…
Just 10 bodyweight squats every 45 minutes during 8.5 hours of extended sitting improves blood sugar regulation better than a 30-minute walk! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
I suspect that most dietary arguments would fly out the window if we all just learned to love our bodies, love the company that we are eating with, and love our food.
