Summary

Full Show Notes:  bengreenfieldlife.com/497

Welcome to another solo episode. This week I kick things off sharing my most effective hair health strategies, from nutrition and hormones to unique tools like derma rolling, red light therapy, and even topical caffeine—plus, why genetics aren’t your whole hair story.

 I break down a fascinating new study showing how magnesium holds the key to actually making your vitamin D work for you.

I reveal why the length and intensity of your walking sessions matter more than you think, and how longer walking bouts can trump simply chasing that 10,000-step goal. 

I also revisit a forgotten but powerful heart-protective hack—adding pomegranate juice to your routine to help reduce arterial plaque and lower your blood pressure. To top it off, I share my wildest recent experiment: getting infusions of young human plasma in the name of anti-aging, breaking down the science of why it works and what I noticed firsthand.
