Hi and welcome to the Wellness Momma Podcast.

I'm Katie from WellnessMomma.com.

Did you know that exercise was sound as effective as sense medications in fighting insomnia?

Researchers found that staying active and exercising on a regular basis was shown to improve sleep quality

and reduce sleep problems.

It also obviously is to better health in many areas and even to weight loss and better mental clarity.

And today's guests and I are talking about sleep and exercise.

Today I have Ben Greenfield on the podcast.

He's the author of The New York Times Best Seller, Beyond Training.

He and his wife, Jessa, live in Washington state with their two twin boys.

Ben is a world renowned expert in fitness and endurance sports as he's managed to hack his own biology

and compete in everything from Iron Man to Spartan races without some of the negative health effects

that often come with that.

And what's less well known is that Ben is also an expert in healthy home setting and natural living.

And he and his wife have an extremely natural house where they built everything from the ground up.

And he's here today to talk about all of these topics of exercise to living in a healthy way

and avoiding a lot of everyday toxins.

Ben, thanks for being here.

Welcome.

Awesome.

Thanks for having me on Katie.

I'll tell you right now I'm sipping some tea.
