Full show notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/501
In this solosode, I walk you through five research topics I've been tracking so you can make smarter, more informed decisions about your health. You'll explore why varying your exercise routine may matter as much as total volume, how toe strength connects to everything from heel pain to sprint power, what plaque composition data reveals that lipid markers alone cannot tell you, how CBN stacks up against CBD and pharmaceutical sleep aids for insomnia, and what a new mouse study suggests GLP-1 drugs are actually doing to lean body mass. I also walk through my own protocols, including my current morning sauna routine, my retatrutide dose, and my go-to CBN sources for travel days.
