Could this be the most CONTROVERSIAL Health Documentary of the year??

My brand new documentary is out and I am going to check out the trailer for the first time. Here we go. Okay. All right, ready? Yep. So dude, you are an interesting fucking guy. You do a lot of weird shit. Thank you, I think. Yeah. No, it's good. Yes, it's a compliment. You're almost notorious in the space for being a self-experimenter. He's not just gonna talk about biohacking, but this guy is weird. Weird. I'm weird. My guest today is Ben Greenfield. A world-class biohacker, an elite coach, a top fitness expert, an absolute icon in the fitness and wellness and biohacking industry. My dad, he's always saying that he's a guinea pig, like putting stem cells in his brain and stuff. Crazy stuff. Like, what? What? Is film safe for kids? He was voted America's Fitness Trainer of the Year. He's always going to be a driven person. I think it's every aspect of his life. I just love to figure out how to get the most out of the body and brain. A lot of that does involve these more fringe, edgy biohacks. What made you kind of flip in terms of your priorities? What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and yet loses his soul? So young there. His work took precedence in a really kind of narcissistic kind of way. For a while, he wasn't really a part of the family. Everything I grew up holding dear and knowing was most important just kind of started to get put on the back burner. You know, it did not feel right at all. It wasn't right at all. Eventually, the body will fade. And so if there's one part of your body that you're going to prioritize above everything else, it would be the soul. Having something, someone that you can depend upon, the belief that there's a greater story written for your life. If I didn't change something, then I was going to lose. Wow, cool. Good job, man. Coming soon. Coming now. Oh man, my gut reaction is A, that made me feel really old because there's a lot of young scenes in there. And also this is a story that I think the world needs to hear. And just like seeing the trailer, I think this could impact a lot of lives in a good way. No, that's— it's not a health documentary. It is a, uh, it's just like, you know, what's important in life documentary. I think that when I first saw the documentary, I was struck by the amount of life that I've lived. I think everybody probably experiences that when looking through old photo albums, or, you know, if you did have a bunch of videos of your life all strung together. I think it's a reminder of my own mortality seeing that sequence. And also, I think that the most emotive moments of this film were based around family and community and faith. And that's where I really felt my soul being tugged more than the scenes of like, you know, fitness and biohacking and crazy stem cell injections and the stuff that's like edgy and cool. But you can tell when you watch it, um, and hopefully you'll see this too and experience this, like what's really meaningful on a deep human level. There's nothing in the film that I'm, I'm nervous for people to see. I think that it definitely— how should I put this? Like, I'm definitely like, I would, I would say in some respects like a villain in parts of the film. Like it shows my weak side, my bad side, my, my faults and my failures at, I think, a much more intense and, and vulnerable and real and transparent and raw level. Than I, um, than I think people might expect. Um, so yeah, this film is not about me being so good, so great, so wonderful, and gosh darn it, people like me. Uh, it's way different than that. My family, um, already knows me at a deep core root level. We're very connected, very connected. Um, and very real and raw and honest with each other. I think that my family is intimately familiar with a lot of the details in this film. I think that if anything, it will serve as a sort of memento mori, a sort of, um, gift to them and to hopefully my legacy and future, you know, grandkids or great-grandkids in terms of what it is that Ben Greenfield and a human being in general should hold important in life. And hopefully others can learn from my mistakes. I hope that the part of the world that is very interested in, and in some cases obsessed or infatuated with, when it comes to health, biohacking or longevity or anti-aging or aesthetics or anything else that's very surface, uh, realizes what is truly meaningful at the deep core level. I think this film will be a wake-up call, a reminder of our own mortality and what's truly important in life. I think there, there tends to be a myopic focus on what our body looks like, um, in terms of how functional is our body, uh, what our looks look like, uh, instead of, um, what's more important to our friends and our family and our community, which is whether or not we show up for them. Just like performance, uh, and human optimization at all costs, um, living your life in a fully optimized— if we want to call it that way— does not mean that you you have to be 100% optimized. What it means instead is that you're pouring as much love as you can into other people and equipping yourself to be able to do so in a reasonable but not an obsessed way. Look, I won't lie, I am kind of known as, you know, like an icon or a beacon or whatever. When it comes to pulling out all the stops to look, feel, and perform in as optimized a way as possible. And I think that the, the health and biohacking and longevity community in general may not like many elements of this film because it does highlight some of the silliness of it all. Uh, but in a good way. And, uh, I think in a way that the world needs right now. All right, that's my raw reaction to the trailer. The documentary is premiering around the world. Boundlessdoc.com is where you can get the details and access for LA, Austin, New York City, Miami, London, and beyond. I hope to see you there.
