Here, for your itching ears and supremely curious heart and mind, comes Part 1 of my talk at the Health Optimisation Summit, recently held in London by my friend and podcast guest, Tim Gray.
The Health Optimisation Summit is Europe’s largest health conference, showcasing the best speakers from the health, biohacking, fitness, longevity, nutrition, functional, and preventative medicine spaces (including yours truly) in order to provide people with the knowledge, tools, and resources to take their own health and performance to the next level.
The UK's leading biohacker, Tim Gray is known for his detailed tracking of more than 35+ biomarkers per day, is frequently in the mainstream media regarding practical, trackable, and immediately apply-able health hacks, and is featured on over 30 podcasts a year. As a psychology specialist and a successful businessman, Tim founded and invested in multiple 6-figure businesses, including digital marketing agencies and London’s first private Hyperbaric Oxygen Clinic.
After years spent self-healing his body from chronic health conditions through biohacking alone, Tim Gray embarked on a mission to educate and empower the masses. Recently, I spoke to Tim about his history, his routines, the Health Optimisation Summit, and plenty more, in a special two-part podcast episode that included an interview and then a follow-up solosode by Tim (“How UK’s Leading Biohacker Eats, Drinks, & Optimizes His Life: An Interview With Tim Gray“).
For this year's Summit, Tim actually asked me to present on “A Day in the Life of Ben Greenfield.” At first, I thought I'd be struggling to fill the time slot with just my “average day,” but then as I thought about all the hacks, routines, and rituals I do throughout my days that are now more or less automatic for me but likely something you'll be quite interested in, I realized it might not be quite as simple as it sounds!
In fact, like I needed to do with Tim's podcast, I had to split my talk up and finish presenting about a “typical” day in Part 2, which is the next episode you'll see released on the podcast feed. You can also go here to get all of the resources from my talk at the Summit.

Hi Ben,
My hormone optimization doctor recently put me on a DHEA supplement. You mentioned that DHEA could over aromatize. This is the first I’ve heard this. Could you please explain further and should I stop? I am also on TRT and pregnenolone. Thanks so much! Love you man.
