Summary
Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to human performance consultant Ben Greenfield about the little-known risk of connected home workout machines like Peloton, how intermittent fasting may be the secret to good health, and the possible benefits of consuming alcohol and other toxins. Ben explains why there is no one single diet that works best for everyone and how you can use testing to figure out what your body needs. He also shares research related to the habits of supercentenarians, and it probably isn't what you think. He also names the one oil that must be avoided. Finally, Ben explains the concept of hormesis, how toxins like alcohol can actually be beneficial for your body, and how you can easily make some clean cocktails.
