Yo, it's Ben Greenfield. I got my friend Dean Carnazze on the show today. This dude is nuts. He ran across Greece and

Followed the old Spartan marathon trail and he didn't drop dead at the end. We talked about that and much more

Also, I don't know if you're a public radio fan, but you know how

Public radio and I think public television used to do this too. They used to do like fundraising drives to raise money

Yeah, I don't do that, but I do have a request for you. No, no, please don't turn it off. Don't fast forward

Can you leave a review on iTunes if you haven't yet? Just go to iTunes and do a search for the Ben Greenfield show or

Ben Greenfield and leave a review just jot a note to yourself or whatever to do it helps the show out a ton

Just go in there and like leave

Five stars or one if you hate me and say something nice

It could even be like one word like cool or

Rad or bomb or the shiznit

But those reviews help the show out a lot so if you could do that

That would be awesome and now I actually am going to tell you about some cool stuff before we go talk to

Dean

The first thing I want to tell you about is mint my kids and I go out in the backyard and we harvest wild mint

And I mean it's really good as a palate cleanser as an appetizer as a digestief

And it helps with nausea it helps with headache it helps with

Depression fatigue. It's like a natural stimulant. There's so many things that mint is really good for me

Even just like a little bit like a smoothie every day or

Sprinkle on top of a meal that you eat really great digestief

Anyways though

Mint is one of the ingredients of this little scoop of powder that I put into my smoothie every morning
