New Discoveries Of The Week: Cool New Things I'm Trying, Books I'm Reading, And More!
– The New (Free) Country Music Album I Recorded
Dr. Matthew Cook (a super popular former podcast of mine) and I first met in 2018 and realized that in addition to our mutual love for health, wellness, medicine, biohacking and beyond, we shared a secret additional passion: country music. Both originating from the Rocky Mountain States (me Idaho and him Montana), we found ourselves merrily singing the likes of Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and other old-school country favorites in between our nerdy chats about body and brain optimization. By the end of 2019, we decided to join forces and begin to fuel our passion by producing music to thrill and delight our patients, clients, friends, and family – and now you too can savor the audio experience that occurs when two guys with roots from the Rockies unite to make sweet, sweet country candy for your ears. Just visit RockyRootsMusic.com to download the tracks we made for your listening pleasure. Enjoy!
– The New Gum I'm Chewing
Yep I'm a gum fiend. Chew gum all day long to assist with appetite cravings, metabolism, jaw strength, vagus nerve activation and plenty more. In addition to my favorites: Slique gum (for metabolism and weight loss and carb cravings) and Lucy (nicotine) gum (use code BEN20 to save 20%), I just discovered “Mighty Gum,” a new, tasty 100% natural and artificial sweetener free blend that contains adaptogens, botanicals, and vitamins that support the body’s natural ability to protect itself. It contains:
- Ashwagandha: Helps your body manage stress and anxiety
- Astragalus: Builds and balances the immune system
- Elderberry: Fights inflammation and infection
- Reishi Mushroom: Activates the immune response
This stuff comes in a mouth-watering berry flavor that I absolutely have been digging and chewing a ton of, and you can get it here.

Featured Product: Kion Bar
One of my favorite things to grab when I'm traveling, running out the door for a long hike or adventure, or when I'm just hankerin' for a delicious chocolatey snack, is the Kion Bar.
This bar is something I formulated specifically for active individuals who need a clean, real-food source of energy on the go. It's hypoallergenic and guilt-free, and jam-packed with a unique blend of ingredients that support energy without excess carbohydrates or artificial ingredients. Chia seeds, almonds, coconut, and cacao nibs also give it an amazing crunch and texture that's much more satisfying to eat than the gooey mash that makes up your average energy bar.
And if you're looking for a more “indulgent” way to eat these things, try them with a piping hot cup of coffee—or my favorite—crumbled on top of some Oatmeal Cookie Halo Top ice cream. Bon appetit!
Check out the Kion Bar, and use code: BEN10 for 10% off.
