Welcome to the Get Fit Guys, quick and dirty tips to slim down and shape up.

My name is Ben Greenfield. I'm the Get Fit Guy.

And in this next two-part series, you're going to learn about when biohacking fitness goes perhaps a bit too far.

Now, lately, I've been called out quite a bit about my fringe, nerdy, technology-obsessed,

biohacking shortcuts to achieve body and brain performance.

See, a common problem in our era, even among people who are paleo or primal or ancestral or

vegan or natural or whatever is it is a growing obsession

a self quantification or biohacking biomarker exploring Bluetooth sporting brain zapping and beyond

hacking into the realm of damaging our bodies our happiness happiness, our lives, and even our genes.

Where do we draw the line between biohacking and ancestral living?

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm definitely a biohacker.

In the past 24 hours alone, I've performed TDCS pre-workout to spark up my motor cortex.

I've done electroencephalography, intranasal light therapy,

electrical muscle stimulation, peptide injections, electric compression boots, eight different

neutropic pills, and much more. And yes, that was in the past 24 hours. But in the same 24 hours,

and when biohacking might cross the line. And when

smarter, more natural, more ancestral alternatives to the current craze of cryotherapy, electrical

muscle stimulation, digital meditation, neutropics, and strapping your own equivalent of a goat
