New Discoveries Of The Week: Cool New Things I'm Trying, Books I'm Reading, And More!

– Article I Was Recently Featured In

I was recently featured in “The Times,” the UK’s biggest newspaper, apparently. The article, which you can read here (just get a cancellable subscription) is not too bad, but there are a few untruths, which are probably inevitable amongst the journalism industry, but here’s what to look out for and take with a grain of salt as you read:

“He’s just turned 40.”

I’m 38.

“…a steel tongue hand pan a friend from Los Angeles gave him for his birthday…”

My lovely assistant Penny who lives in Spokane gave it to me. The reporter made up an imaginary LA friend.

“..recently diagnosed with ADHD…”

Categorically false and never uttered by me.

“Every summer, the twins go off on a survival weekend in the wilderness by themselves – not together, but alone. “A guy comes to check on them once a day,” but otherwise the boys fend for themselves, foraging for food, building their own fire and shelter. How long have they been doing the survival thing? “Since they were six.”

Not true. They are always with a group of other children and certified instructors, and won’t be doing anything like this alone until they’re at least 13.

“Greenfield’s stated goal is to hit 90 with a biological age of 25.”

Never said that. I just want to live a healthy life and help people while taking good care of myself, then die whenever I’m chosen to pass on to a better place.

Anyways, aside from all that, it’s a good article. Worth checking out.

– New Meditation App I've Been Digging

Lately, I've been taking a brief 1 to 10-minute “pause” during the day to connect with my breathe, myself and most importantly, God. The One Minute Pause app that I've been using is a simple way to reconnect with God in the midst of a busy day. From John Eldredge, the New York Times Bestselling Author of Wild at Heart and Captivating, two excellent books that I enjoyed, this app invites you into the simple practice of releasing everything to God, restoring your union with God and inviting Him to into your heart. The length of time is perfect, and the music/breath pacing has been working very well for me. Give it a try!

::: Why You Absolutely Need To Be Grounding While You Sleep :::

Over 20 Peer-Reviewed Research Studies have shown sleeping grounded…

  • Reduces pain and inflammation…
  • Improves sleep, cellular function, HRV, and vagal tone…
  • Decreases cortisol, stress, anxiety, and depression…
  • Improves metabolism, circulation, blood viscosity, and blood glucose levels…
  • Up-regulates energy, performance, recovery, and wound healing…
  • Improves mood, thyroid function, other hormonal production, and immunity…
  • And more!

If you don't know what grounding is, just listen to my podcast, My New #1 Hack for Zapping Inflammation, Increasing Deep Sleep & Recovering Faster, and watch this eye-opening 15-minute documentary.

The most important time to ground is when you sleep. Get 6-8 hours of uninterrupted ‘full-body' grounding that maximizes electron transfer with Ultimate Longevity's Ground Therapy Sleep Mat.

The electrons you absorb, when sleeping grounded, neutralize free radical damage; squelch inflammation; restore healthy endocrine function; enhance cellular gating and circulation, which improves cellular uptake of nutrients, oxygen, and hormones while maximizing the removal of cellular waste — the list goes on. Get your grounding mat here.

    Hey Ben,

    Just got your book Boundless…awesome! A quick question on your Smoothie Recipe. My wife and I have been following the recipe…it’s delicious! A question though…I ran it through my nutrition calculator and came up with the following:

    760 Calories

    –35g Carbs

    –57g Fat

    –21g Protein

    I have heard you mention you have carbs at night and prefer to stay in Ketosis during the day. Won’t that 25g of Carbohydrates knock you out of ketosis?

    Thanks!

      Not necessarily. How much fiber is in it?
