Welcome to Ben Greenfield's Weekly Roundup!

I also recap my upcoming events and special announcements so you can keep up with opportunities to learn, giveaways, discounts, and more!
New Discoveries
Be Among the First To Experience Boundless Live: Join Me & My Family at the Documentary Premiere Tour 🎥
I spent 20 years measuring and optimizing everything about my body.
Deep performance metrics. Cold stress. Heat stress. Sleep scores. Blood panels. Peptide protocols. Testosterone. Telomeres. VO2 max.
And somewhere in the middle of building what looked like a perfect life, I almost lost the life I was building it for.
Boundless: The Man Who Became Human is a brand-new feature documentary that follows what happened when the optimization framework I'd spent two decades constructing ran headlong into the things it could never measure. My marriage. My boys. My faith.
The private archive footage in this film has never been seen publicly. Some of it, I debated even including at all. It shows the worst of what happens when longevity becomes the ultimate goal—and how you and I can turn that around to become fulfilled by what’s truly important in life.
This is not another biohacking film.
It's an honest look at what it costs to chase the ceiling on human performance, told through real footage of one family finding out.
Presale tickets are now live (use code BOUNDLESS26) and are exclusively available to my audience before they go on sale to the general public tomorrow.
Here's what the night looks like:
Watch the world premiere of the film with my family and me in the theater with you. Then, experience a live episode of the Boundless Life podcast on stage, with open Q&A: real questions, no filters. My wife, Jessa, and my 18-year-old sons River and Terran will be there with us as well. VIP ticket holders stay for the afterparty.
Tour kicks off:
Los Angeles — July 24 (The Belasco)
Austin — August 20 (Emo's)
New York City — (TBA)
Miami — (TBA)
London — (TBA)
And more cities are coming.
If you've ever felt like the harder you optimize, the further something important gets, this film was made for you.
You can grab your tickets here with code BOUNDLESS26.
This Week in Health & Performance: What the Latest Research Says
💪🍗 Protein Hyperfeeding May Help You Build Muscle While Losing Fat: The idea that you have to choose between gaining muscle and losing fat continues to be challenged by the research. A growing body of evidence suggests that, when combined with resistance training, very high protein intakes can support body recomposition. In one study, participants consuming around 3.4 g of protein per kilogram of body weight per day gained lean mass while simultaneously reducing fat mass. Translation: with the right strategy, it's possible to improve both sides of the equation at once (full study here).
🥩🥑 Low-Carb Plus Calorie Restriction May Be The Fat-Loss Sweet Spot: New research suggests that combining carbohydrate restriction with calorie restriction appears to produce greater fat-loss effects than restricting carbs alone, cutting calories alone, or doing neither. Pair that approach with adequate resistance training and high protein intake, and you have a powerful recipe for improving body composition while preserving muscle mass (read the study).
🌿🏥 Should Hospitals Prescribe Nature?: Hospital gardens might sound like a luxury, but growing evidence suggests that access to green spaces can support mental well-being, reduce stress, and potentially improve recovery experiences for patients and healthcare workers alike, meaning a simple intervention like this can go a long way (read more).
🧬🚀 Russia's $26 Billion Bet On Longevity: Organ transplants, advanced peptide protocols, gene therapies, and even multi-organ printing are all reportedly part of Russia's ambitious longevity initiative. Whether these efforts reshape the future of medicine remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the global race to extend healthspan is accelerating. (P.S. Jesus Christ solved immortality 2,000 years ago—read more here.)
🥬✨ These Nutrients May Help Slow Biological Aging: A new study identified several dietary antioxidants associated with a lower risk of accelerated biological aging, including daidzein, apigenin, magnesium, zinc, and vitamin E. Practical sources include parsley, chamomile, and artichokes for apigenin; natto for daidzein; oysters and red meat for zinc; and nuts, seeds, and fish for vitamin E. Another reminder that longevity is often built one meal at a time (read the study).
Key Takeaway: This week's research highlights a recurring theme: the fundamentals still matter. Prioritize high-quality protein, resistance training, and sustainable nutrition strategies if your goal is body recomposition. Don't overlook the healing power of your environment, stay curious about emerging longevity technologies, and remember that the foods you eat every day may influence how quickly, or slowly, you age.
