And you talk to people that freedive and they get all starry eyed and they're just like,

oh, it's just amazing that you'd be down there.

It's just when you're not a freediver, you're like, you're like, how can being underwater

and drowning and suffocating be relaxing?

Well, when you do it right, you don't feel like you're drowning.

You don't feel it.

You're just, you know, you're completely relaxed.

You're weightless.

It's an unused, it's not like anything else I've certainly ever done.

And you know, you talk to people that do it and they'll swear by it.

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 mudder 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,

searched the globe for the world's top experts in performance, fat loss, recovery, gut,

hormones, brain, beauty, and brawn to deliver you this podcast, everything you need to know

to live an adventurous, joyful, and fulfilling life.

My name is Ben Greenfield.

Enjoy the ride.

Well, hello.
