Well, hello folks, it's Ben Greenfield and if you hear birds and wild roosters and waves

in the background, it's because I am recording this introduction for you straight from

Kauai, Hawaii, where I just finished up a breathwork course with Laird Hamilton and Gabby Reese

and Kelly Starat.

I'd recommend you look into these courses called an XPT course.

Fantastic experience.

They brought me down here to help people a little bit with nutrition and recovery and sleep.

And now I am off to Panama to teach at a hot yoga retreat slash digital detox called

Roonga for the next bit.

And then I'll arrive back home for Christmas with a nice tan, Neener, Neener, Neener.

Anyways, this podcast is actually a pretty cool one.

Just with my friend Ian Clark, who is always chock full of information about new things

I've never heard of before.

And he definitely does not disappoint on today's show, which is brought to you by something

I'm holding right now because if you couldn't tell, I just got out of bed.

It's really morning.

I have a flight to catch and I will be heading inside to my friend's home, making myself

a cup of coffee and dropping into it a giant big old packet of Chaga mushroom extract,

which is chock full of what are called beta glue cans that are some of the best things

for building up my immune systems killer T cells, which can help with everything from my

protection against cancer to my protection against strange green gabs of people's mucus

on the plane.
