| 0:00.0 | My name is Ben Greenfield, and on this episode of the Boundless Life podcast. |
| 0:05.1 | Okay, so this stone is not just like vibrating and just doing its thing on its own. |
| 0:10.0 | It's actually reading me. |
| 0:11.1 | It's reading you. |
| 0:11.8 | It maps your nervous system, and it watches your breathing pattern. |
| 0:15.2 | The algorithm basically, Ben, is looking to say, how can we amplify that nervous system response to get you into a state |
| 0:24.5 | where we're training your nervous system to make those adaptations to make you more resilient. |
| 0:30.5 | Welcome to the boundless life with me, your host, Ben Greenfield. I'm a personal trainer, |
| 0:36.3 | exercise physiologist, and nutritionist, |
| 0:38.5 | and I'm passionate about helping you discover unparalleled levels of health, fitness, |

| 1:26.1 | That's why I'm a fan of enzyme supplementation. The one I've been using for years made by bioptimizers is called mass signs. |
| 1:33.1 | The reason I like it is it's the most potent digestive enzyme I've ever found. It has over 102% more |
| 1:38.0 | protease than the nearest competitor. Protease breaks down protein. And that's critical because |
| 1:42.6 | protein is the most complex nutrient to break down. |
| 1:45.5 | The stuff has 300 to 500% more protease in a per serving than most popular brands. |
