Asking A Quick Favor About My New Book Endure: Tools, Tactics & Habits For Spiritual Stamina
I just wanted to quickly thank all of you who ordered a copy of my new book, Endure: Tools, Tactics & Habits for Spiritual Stamina.
This book was written and inspired by my own personal temptations, struggles, and failures, and informed by what I’ve studied and learned along the way.
It’s my deepest wish and prayer that it touches your life and gives you the tools and tactics you need to build your own spiritual stamina, strap on your sword, trust God and experience the peace, love, and joy of His creation.
If Endure 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
P.S. I can also give special discounts for bulk purchases of my books. So, if you would like to use them for a Bible study or a book club, please email [email protected] and my team will get you set up.
I'm Bending Over Backwards For This Gadget
In this age of constant hunching over phones, there's a good chance you're dealing with spine misalignment and back pain. And back pain is more likely if you're an athlete, which is partly why I've written articles about why back pain happens and what you can do about it (check out “10 Ways To Biohack Back Pain Associated With Exercise (& Why Your Back Gets Injured In The First Place)” if you want to know more).
So when it comes to back pain, I've really tried it all—or at least I thought I'd had, until I recently discovered this simple spine corrector that I got right off Amazon. It's been doing wonders for my back in terms of spine health, balance, core strengthening, and stretching. It can also be used as a Pilates barrel to open up the back, and you can do a plethora of other workouts with it, too, including ab work, side laying work, lunges, and more.
To realign your spine, all you need to do is position the arc, lay down on it, and streeeeeeetch! Just like I'm doing in this video here. :)
So click here to get your hands on the Balanced Body Spine Corrector (your back will thank you later!).
P.S. If you need a walkthrough on exercises for how to use this awesome little tool, click here for a playlist of step-by-step videos for various workouts.
Join Walk for Water by the BGL Team to Help End the Water Crisis
On June 14th, 2022, World Vision’s Global 6K for Water will unite people around the world to walk/run together to raise awareness and funds to help end the water crisis. The statistics about the clean water shortage water are sobering:
•6K (3.72 mi) is the average distance women and children in the developing world have to walk for water.
•The lack of clean water is the #1 preventable cause of death in the world.
•Clean water, sanitation, and hygiene protect kids and their families from diseases like Covid- 19.
•About 800 children under the age of 5 die every day from unsafe drinking water.
But we can change that.
Ben Greenfield Life is officially holding the Walk for Water in partnership with World Vision on June 14th, at 10:00 AM PST, and I am personally inviting you to join us virtually or donate.
We will be doing a 6k, which is the average distance people in the developing world walk to get water, sometimes not even clean/safe water. The $50 registration fee or $50 donation provides clean water for someone for life.
Click here to join the BGL team virtually from wherever you are for this year's Walk for Water.

Product Of The Week:
::: Your Body's Secret “Reset Button” :::
Did you know that you can shift your health by stimulating the most important nerve in your body?
The vagus nerve plays a massive role in your overall health and is super easy to activate—but most people don’t even know about it.
If this nerve isn’t functioning as it should, your body can’t rest, regenerate, and heal, and you start to experience health issues you can’t shake regardless of what you try.
But you can actually trigger a cascade of healing by simply strengthening and stimulating this nerve with a therapeutic blend of essential oils, like the Parasympathetic blend from Vibrant Blue Oils. This means you can finally eliminate those unwanted health issues such as anxiety, migraines, extra weight, brain fog, and fatigue.
Stimulating this nerve with essential oils is sort of like pushing a reset button, and by incorporating it into your daily wellness ritual, you can start to feel like the most focused, energetic, motivated, happy, and youthful version of yourself. I topically apply the Parasympathetic essential oil blend behind my ears for vagal nerve stimulation—and then I sit back and relax.
Click here to try Vibrant Blue Oils at a very special introductory price (more than 60% off!). Hurry, though…limited supplies are available!

Could you do a show on cheap bio hacks for the average person?
Check out 10 Effective, Easy & Cheap Biohacks For Everyone To Try: bengreenfieldlife.com/article/lifestyle-articles/official-black-friday-gift-list-10-effective-easy-cheap-biohacks-everyone-try/
Cheap biohack. That’s a nice topic. I would say free mantra meditation, breathwork (WHM, Oxygen avantage) and Baking soda before training ._.
