Summary

Two months ago, I laid in a long, metal tube in a London hospital, staring at the blank white walls around me as the entire room buzzed and hummed with the sounds of high-tech analysis. I was getting a "Magnetic Resonance Imaging" procedure done -...

Hey, what's up? It's Ben Greenfield sipping a hot cup of morning brew here in Finland.

0:11.5

I'm actually staying at a farm about four hours outside of Helsinki, Finland. I'm out

0:17.2

at the personal farm of a guy who I interviewed a few weeks ago on the podcast episode.

0:22.8

A guy named Vessie, or at least that's the nickname that he goes by. One of the fittest

0:27.7

65-year-old dudes on the face of the planet. I placed tennis left and right handed. He

0:34.2

invents special chairs that allow you to sit in a chair that I am sitting in right now.

0:40.8

That allows you to basically simulate the feeling of riding a horse. You need to see it to

0:47.2

see what I mean. But go listen to the podcast episode I did with him. It's at Ben Greenfield

0:51.8

fitness.com's last year Vessie, the SSI. But that is actually not what this podcast is about.

0:58.1

This podcast that you're about to listen to is quite interesting. It's a two-parter, a two-parter.

1:03.5

So it's technically about MRIs, magnetic resonance imaging, and things that MRIs can tell you about

1:10.0

your body that you might not otherwise have known. In other words, you don't just have to get

1:15.6

an MRI to figure out if you've blown out your knee or you need some kind of a shoulder surgery,

1:20.4

but you can use an MRI to look into things like the size of your brain and an extremely accurate

1:26.8

measurement of your body fat percentage distribution. And even as my second guest in today's show gets

1:32.4

into what's called the redox potential of your body. So my first guest is a Marcus Foster who actually

1:41.9

hooks people up with the ability to do MRIs and to use MRIs for things that go way above and beyond

1:48.7

just medical imaging. And then in the second part of the interview, I get Dr. Jack Cruz on and we

1:54.5

talk about not just the health of MRIs, but also things that MRIs can tell you that go above and

2:00.4

beyond what modern medicine even knows about, you know, specifically this thing called the redox potential.

2:07.2

Now, of course, while here in Finland, I have had to deal with the effects of jet lag with the

2:16.1

curve ball that your circadian biology gets thrown when you jet. Well, in this case, 10 hours
