Welcome to Ben Greenfield's Weekly Roundup!

In this weekly post, I share with you my most interesting discoveries of the week, including the latest news on the fronts of fitness, nutrition, health, wellness, biohacking, and anti-aging research.

My Latest Discoveries: New Things I'm Trying, The Latest Life Hacks, Books I'm Reading, And Much More!

A New Energy Drink That Won't Destroy Your Biology & Brain (& Doesn't Disrupt Your Sleep)

Paraxanthine is an intriguing new compound that seems to be the new darling molecule of the energy supplement industry, and is an answer to the midday slump or boost for a morning workout, but also a source of surprising things like confidence and swagger, all without disrupting sleep…

Ever have those mid-day slumps around 2-3 pm where you just feel like you could crawl back in bed and take a nap? 

So to try and combat that slump you think of reaching for energy drinks like a Red Bull or a Monster – but those are absolutely terrible for you because they're typically jam-packed with sugar or artificial sweeteners, and can cause serious cardiovascular and blood vessel problems, such as heart rhythm disturbances and an increase in heart rate and blood pressure – not to mention a big crash after they finish running their route through your body.

However, I'm no stranger to wanting to grab something for a little wake-me-up, and lately, it's a new energy drink called Update.

What makes Update stand out from other, no-good-for-you energy drinks is its main ingredient – paraxanthine – which is a metabolite of caffeine that is produced by the liver when caffeine is broken down. Paraxanthine has benefits that are similar to those of caffeine, but it has a longer half-life and a milder stimulant effect (so it won't run the risk of disrupting your sleep later in the day).

Some of the benefits of paraxanthine include:

  • Increased alertness
  • Improved athletic performance
  • Increased fat burning
  • Reduced inflammation

The creators of Update, Shawn Wells and David Solomons, will be featured on my podcast this weekend, so stay tuned if you want to learn even more about this ingredient that I'm calling “the new darling molecule of the energy supplement industry.”

My New Parenting Book Is Officially Available Now!

After two years of interviewing some of the top parents on the planet…

…. from crazy macho Alpha dads like the controversial “Liver King” and Spartan race founder Joe DeSena…

…to peaceful backwoods, unschooling, off-grid gardeners, and homemakers (including my children’s wilderness survival instructors and my own wife Jessa)…

…to outside-the-box thinking fitness icons like Kelly and Juliet Starrett, Paul Chek, and the Vega “Fat Fueled Family”…

…to a host of other entrepreneurs, billionaires, single moms, and dads, my own dear parents, pastors, education experts, legacy builders, wealth managers, and many others who have created impactful, happy, and resilient children…

…I’ve finally put the finishing touches on a 600+ page parenting book that is the most comprehensive parenting book that exists. It’s like the blueprint for raising a human.

It’s called Boundless Parenting: Tools, Tactics & Habits of Great Parents, and it’s kind of like Tim Ferriss’s Tools of Titans or Tribe of Mentors, but for parenting. In other words, this is a book that takes the best of the best of raising babies, children, and teenagers, decoding discipline, planning education, creating legacy, meaning and purpose, diet, nutrition, fitness, tackling the in-and-out daily nitty-gritty of being a successful parent with practical tips from the trenches and tons more.

Basically, it’s the book I wish I had existed when I first became a parent, and thank goodness, Boundless Parenting is now officially done and has been unleashed on the world.

This book has been a labor of love, and I'm beyond excited to see it finally come to fruition.

You can pick up a copy of my brand-new parenting book here. And if you like it, I would love to hear your review on Amazon.

I mentioned this last week and we received a ton of great interest in coaching.

Product Of The Week:

::: Get A Free 10oz Bag Of Pure Collagen Protein To Turn Back The Clock On Aging :::

Collagen is simply a type of protein – 1 of over 10,000 proteins in your body.

A long-chain amino acid and the most abundant protein in the body, collagen is responsible for bestowing skin elasticity, hair strength, and connective tissue integrity. In fact, collagen protein makes up 30% of the total protein in your body, and 70% of the protein in your skin (I talk more about collagen and its role in our bodies in this article here).

While collagen is beneficial to the entire body, it's most noticeably beneficial to your skin. This is because as you age, the epidermis (outer layer of skin) thins and loses elasticity via a process known as elastosis. As this happens, your skin tends to show more signs of aging and acquires more wrinkles.

Now, tons of different collagens are out there, some of them better than others. I've found one particular brand that has been a necessity for me in supporting gut health, muscle recovery, joints, hair, skin, and nails, and it's called BUBS.

BUBS's collagen protein is hydrolyzed, grass-fed, and jam-packed with pasture-raised peptides that help reverse the aging process by replenishing the necessary amino acids in the body.

It's super easy to take, too. Just pick your favorite liquid (coffee, tea, orange juice, etc.), mix in two scoops or packets with a spoon, and enjoy. It's truly unflavored so it's not going to clash with any of your favorite beverages which is a huge bonus.

I incorporate collagen protein quite frequently in my own anti-aging routine because without it, I'm most likely not hitting my body’s essential amino acid needs, and neither are you.

So check out BUBS's purely natural collagen supplements here and use code BENG100 to receive a free 10oz bag of their Collagen Protein.
