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. I also recap my upcoming events and special announcements so you can keep up with opportunities to learn, giveaways, discounts, and more!
My Latest Discoveries: New Things I'm Trying, The Latest Life Hacks, Books I'm Reading, And Much More!
Cookie Dough Honey? Yes, Please.
Kauai Farmacy – a boutique-size, biodiverse herbal farm and “farm”acy in Hawaii – is as close to a Garden of Eden as I've ever seen on Earth.
I now order all sorts of honey, salves, teas, and tinctures from these guys and I've got to say, when you try this stuff, it feels like new, earthy lifeblood flowing through you.
In 2021 I interviewed Doug Wolkon, owner of Kauai Farmacy, after health nut and big wave surfer Laird Hamilton convinced me to go visit Doug's farm. I was immediately blown away by the vast array of over 80 varieties of organic healing plants and food orchards.
Kauai Farmacy is run by a team of incredibly knowledgeable herbalists and gardeners; a closed-loop vermiculture feeding system (worm compost farm), honeybees, butterflies, and other pollinators; wildfowl; environmentally-compatible farming (water-catchments, permaculture guilds, and more); and medicine-making systems (solar-dehydrators, low-temperature herb-curing, herbal teas, tinctures, hydrosols, salves, honey, capsules, and more).
Recently, Doug sent me the Farmacy's new Cookie Dough Honey – and let me tell you, you have got to try it out. I must admit, I now hide an extra stash of this stuff from my wife and kids because lest it just vanishes.
Everything is made with love and by hand at Kauai, and if you've been following me on Instagram and elsewhere, you've seen me using ample amounts of Kauai Farmacy powders and tinctures in my recipes, along with products such as their salves and hydrosols for joint and skin health.

Or maybe you've got a great life, but struggle with the stubborn issues of chronic disease or sub-par health. Whatever the case, I want to help you become everything you have always known you can be from a physical, mental, spiritual, and communal perspective.

Product Of The Week
::: Get Free Shipping On Radically Healthy, Planet Protecting Cultured Oil :::
Industrial seed oils are highly inflammatory and should be avoided, but did you know that most olive oil and avocado oil on the market is unadulterated and rancid too?
Seed oils like soybean oil, canola oil, etc. are primarily made up of polyunsaturated fats that are easily oxidized and are often bleached with harmful chemicals before they make it into your food. Monounsaturated oils like olive oil and avocado oil are pitched as a healthy alternative.
But in truth, many olive and avocado oils on the market are cut with lower quality oils, have been processed and left unadulterated, or are themselves rancid and inflammatory.
This is why when it comes to oils, I discern and select with the utmost care, and you should too. Cue my friends from Zero Acre.
Cultured oil is made from fermentation (rather than deforestation), consists of 90% healthy monounsaturated fats, less than 3% inflammatory fats, has a 485-degree smoke point, and it's miles above the competition in environmental sustainability.
This oil has made its way into my staple rotation of cooking oils, perfect for baking, sauteing, use as a garnish, and with such a high smoke point, I can even fry with it in good conscience.
Not to mention the peace of mind that my environmental impact has dropped through the floor. Cultured Oil uses 85% less land than canola oil, emits 86% less CO2 than soybean oil, and requires 99% less water than olive oil.
And my friends over at Zero Acre have offered free shipping just for you by using code GREENFIELD at checkout.

Asking A Quick Favor About My New Book Boundless Parenting: Tools, Tactics & Habits of Great Parents.
I just wanted to quickly thank all of you who ordered a copy of my book, Boundless Parenting: Tools, Tactics & Habits of Great Parents.
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.
If Boundless Parenting does make even the smallest impact on your life, I would love it if you could help me spread the word far and wide, by:
- Leaving a review on Amazon
- Sharing the book on social media and tagging me (@bengreenfieldfitness)
- Buying a copy for your friends and family
Thanks again for all your support!
With gratitude,
Ben Greenfield
