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

New Magical Dream Sauce I've Been Experimenting With Lately

I've been experimenting with Essential Oil Wizardry's oils since I first had Dr. Nick Berry, the founder, on my podcast back in 2018. Last year, I invited Nick back for the episode “The Wizard Of Essential Oils Strikes Again: The Hidden & Magical World Of Little-Known Plant Extracts For Digestion, Relaxation, Libido, Immunity & Much More!“.

Nick is in fact a wizard when it comes to essential oils; his knowledge base is endless and I've learned a ton from talking to him. A big takeaway for me was the understanding that essential oils work by connecting us with nature, which in turn allows us to connect with fellow humans.

I've been really into all of the oils I've tried from Essential Oil Wizardry, from Ashwagandha to calm the nervous system to Third Eye for realigning chakras.

But my current favorite oil, Dreamporting Elixir, contains wildcrafted sandalwood and frankincense, organic nutmeg and cardamom, and bourbon rose absolute, among other healing elements infused into organic honey spirits. Dreamporting Elixir is a powerful way to ground, center, and harmonize your energetic system, bringing you into greater alignment with your purpose and most interestingly, giving you the most enjoyable, colorful, vivid dreams ever! I experienced a notable shift in my consciousness when I used the oil to set intentions during my meditation practice too. This stuff is definitely worth experimenting with.

You can get your own magical dream sauce at Essential Oil Wizardry here (and use code ben for 10% off individual bottles).

My Latest Mouth-Watering Greenfield Family Feast

Dinner time at the Greenfield household is my favorite time of the day. We all come together and reflect on our day, sing, pray, and enjoy a nourishing meal made with whole foods. My brand-new cookbook compiles tons of delicious recipes that look a lot like what is pictured here.

Wondering what that clunky pink block is? It's a Himalayan Salt Block for cooking (I preheated it in my Traeger grill before using it to cook the salmon in the Traeger). Cooking on a Himalayan Salt Block enhances the flavor of food while also imparting a host of healthy minerals to whatever you are cooking on it. I grilled the salmon on the block with extra virgin olive oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, dill, and wild mint.

I also slow-cooked US Wellness Meats (save 15% with code BEN) bone marrow for about an hour while the salt block was heating, with a lemon zest, salt, and pepper seasoning. Since that wasn’t quite enough (ha), I also smoked some chunked mangoes seasoned with Ceylon cinnamon, cayenne pepper, extra virgin olive oil, and salt (and drizzled with raw honey for a final “caramelization”).

We served this all up with my wife's fresh homemade sourdough (recipe is in my cookbook—fantastic with bone marrow!) and crispy baked Brussel sprouts.

You'll find more delicious family recipes like this in my brand new cookbook! You can get your copy by clicking here. I'd also love to hear from you. Do you sit down at the table every night with your family for dinner? If so, what is your favorite family meal?

The chemists at Lucy have managed to develop three outstanding flavors that somehow cover up the harsh taste of nicotine.

::: An Entirely New Cooking Experience: The Boundless Cookbook :::

You've discovered a new diet, so you tinker with a few Paleo, Carnivore, or Keto recipes for a bit, then you get bored, frustrated, or just tired of the food and give up and watch all of your progress disappear.

Sound familiar?

Today, I’m putting all of that to an end as I finally unveil my top-secret project I've been working on: the Boundless Cookbook. Yes, I’ve been holed away in my secret Batman lab kitchen testing all manner of superfoods, fringe ingredients, recipe twists, molecular gastronomy, and a whole lot more to bring you this new and unique culinary guide.

Here’s what you’ll discover inside:

Never-seen-before biohacking recipes that will invigorate your body.
