I have a master's degree in physiology, biomechanics, and human nutrition.

I've spent the past two decades competing in some of the most massacistic events on

the planet, from seal-fit Kakoro, spardanagogy, and the world's toughest mutter to 13 Iron

Man Triathlons, brutal bohunts, adventure races, spearfishing, plant foraging, freediving,

bodybuilding, and beyond.

I combine this intense time in the trenches, with a blend of ancestral wisdom and modern

science, search the globe for the world's top experts and performance fat loss recovery

gut hormones, brain, beauty, and brawn to deliver you.

This podcast, everything you need to know to live in a adventurous, joyful, and fulfilling

life.

My name is Ben Greenfield.

Enjoy the ride.

So, I have actually known for two, actually more than that now, three years, that I am genetically

predisposed to higher than normal blood sugar and insulin levels.

Pre-type two diabetes, if you will.

My chances of getting type two diabetes are much larger than the chances of the general

population.

And I just know that from the genetic testing that I had done, in this case, it was a 23

I've since moved on, if you listen to the podcast, more advanced genetic tests.

For example, you can go to list on my one with Karim Danani on the uterian's test, which

they analyze more SNPs, but I digress.
