Hey folks, Ben Greenfield here, coming to you on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon in Spokane,

Washington. For lunch today, I had a yoga pot. I don't know if you've ever heard of a yoga pot.

My wife made it, and it's coconut oil, onions, garlic, ginger, cayenne pepper, cinnamon,

broccoli, carrots, fennel, zucchini, tomatoes, lentils, chickpeas, and fresh spices, all basically

heated together in a pot. Pretty cool stuff, and it was pretty good. She got it from a

recipes website called greenkitchenstories.com. So it was quite tasty. I'd recommend you try it out.

So in today's podcast, we've got an interview with Dr. Phil Maffatone. The guy's written dozens

of books on health, fitness, and nutrition, including complimentary sports medicine,

the Maffatone method, training for endurance, and a book called In Fitness and in Health.

He's also got access via Dr. Corley Thompson, who I believe he's married to, a book on healthy

kids and healthy family. And in the coming weeks, I'm also going to be getting her on to talk about

that book. We will have a few special announcements, and we've got a slightly paired down listener

Q&A today. I'm going to have a few less listener questions than I typically have, just to see

what you think of it. If you like more questions, let me know. But today, we're just going to be going

through three listener questions via Colin. So let's go ahead and move on to this week's content
