Welcome to the Learn True Health Podcast. I'm your host Ashley James. This is

episode 368.

How did you get on Ben Greenfield's podcast? Did he reach out to you or did you reach out to him?

No, that's a funny story.

So I was sitting in the living room and my mom came in and she showed me this post that Ben Greenfield had made on Facebook.

She showed me this picture of Ben Greenfield hanging upside down on an inversion table.

She had known that I was a fan of Ben since, I don't know, probably since I was like 17 when I first got into

triathlon because he had his book Beyond Training and he was really in triathlon at the time and so I'd

watch all his videos online and anyway so she showed me this picture of him hanging upside down talking

about the benefits of traction whether it be you know blood flow to the head or different types

of decompression for the spine or making you feel good just in general anything like

that and this one I was really really really excited about the Eldo and I still am but I was just

you know new into it so I was really passionate about it and so I decided to just

message him on Facebook and that's really what I did is I just I messaged him and I

was like hey Ben my name's really what I did is I just I messaged him and I was like, hey Ben, my name's

Jacob Shane, I have these exercises that I've learned, you know, they're pretty uncommon and

you're a pretty uncommon person. I think you might really dig them they're pretty

holistic they're pretty badass like I think you might really like these things so

I'd be totally willing to show them to you if you're willing to you know to have

me teach them to you.

And so he responded and the next day I booked my plane ticket

to go up to Washington like two or three weeks later.
