In this conversation, we sit down with Ben Greenfield- biohacker, entrepreneur, father, and follower of Christ- for his most raw and revealing interview to date. We dive deep into the evolution of Ben’s life philosophy: from chasing peak performance to building a legacy rooted in faith, family, and simplicity. If you’ve followed Ben for his cutting-edge health protocols, this episode will show you the man behind the metrics- and how he’s choosing the narrow road. This is a conversation about realignment, redemption, and what it means to live a truly optimized life- not just in body, but in soul.

Ben Greenfield is a world-renowned health expert, New York Times bestselling author, and host of the Ben Greenfield Life podcast. Known for his pioneering work in biohacking and performance optimization, Ben has more recently become a voice for spiritual realignment and intentional fatherhood. He’s the founder of Kion, a dedicated husband and father of twin boys, and a man on a mission to live—and leave—a legacy that goes far beyond fitness.

What we cover:
- The Dark Side of Optimization
- Faith Over Metrics
- Rebuilding the Family Home
