I recently went on a whirlwind tour of LA for my new book Boundless. I sat in on and hosted plenty of panels and Q&As—and recorded the best of the best of all of them for your listening and educational pleasure!

In the first part of this episode, you'll hear me on a panel with Dr. Darshan Shah of NextHealth, with whom I have collaborated on multiple podcasts, including:

After the panel with Dr. Shah—in which we discussed sleep, habits, routines, rituals, longevity, biohacking, parenting, spirituality and much more—you'll hear the Q&A we recorded at that same event.

In the second part of this episode, you'll hear a separate Q&A recorded at the second book launch party at The Bungalow, in which we cover deep sleep, REM sleep, sex hacking, plant medicine and psychedelics, NAD best practices, sirtuins, and a host of other interesting topics.

So sit back for a wild biohacking Boundless ride (and if you haven't yet purchased your copy of my new book Boundless, you can grab it here).

Ask Ben a Podcast Question

  1. Luke Edelad says:

    Hello Ben

    great content! The “Know to manage stress” part was really amazing and since I am totally new to Biohacking sleep I found that really interesting.

    Thanks for your work.

  2. Jacky says:

    The podcast recommends “Higher doses of CBD (300-600 mg)”
    https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/ben-recommends/b…

    The affiliate link to the BioCBDlink site says “Each capsule contains 10mg hemp CBD extract”
    https://www.biocbdplus.com/product/biocbd-total-b…

    In order to get 300 mg of CBD from these capsules before going to bed as Ben seems to recommend you would have to consume the entire $99 bottle of 30 capsules.

    This seems like a mistake. Can you please clarify how much CBD is recommended for sleep?

  3. Great content! But I am also interested in the answer to Trevor’s question.

  4. Megan says:

    What does your plant medicine ceremony entail?

  5. John says:

    Love your content, Ben! Quick question, I found this https://www.fishersci.com/shop/products/1-3-butanediol-99-extra-pure-acros-organics-5/AC107622500 and would be grateful if your or anyone could comment on its use for making cocktails. Thanks!

  6. Trevor Hess says:

    Hi Ben,

    I noticed you don’t mention 5-HTP for sleep. Is there a reason for that?

    Thanks.
