A YouTube video by Ben Greenfield in which he prepares and narrates a self-styled 'biohacked' dinner. He describes pre-meal digestifs, supplements (two Kion Lean capsules), a cocktail with FitVine/LifeAid and electrolytes, and cooks a 20-ounce French-cut grass-fed, grass-finished ribeye (US Wellness Meats) using a cast-iron/oven→sear method with explicit timing. The meal includes miracle (shirataki) noodles mixed with spice flakes and herbs, blueberries as a side, and Ben reports low post-meal blood glucose.

Biohacking glasses because I'm going to biohack a meal for you tonight. Gonna biohack. I'm see how many times I can say that and annoy all the people who say they hate the word biohack. Anyways, let's do this thing right now to an interview with Biology of belief author Bruce Lipton, because I'm working on a chapter in my new book about how to heal yourself from the inside out. All right, that's as woo woo as I'm gonna get tonight, I promise. Let's do this. Any good meal begins with a digestif and something is like a pre meal sippy sip. So tonight, tonight's recipe rather is brought to you by an organic Swedish tobacco blended with just a little bit of an herb that's called Fruit Loops. This is a Buddha. A Buddha vaporizer. Next. Digestif are these guys. I grow these downstairs in my office. They're called spl. These berries, they're also known as the electric berries. And it's like a party in your mouth. You produce copious amounts. I use my magic word of saliva. It cleans out your mouth, kills bacteria. I ate one right before I turn this on and I'm eating a second some of the glutton for parties in my mouth. Next, I take two capsules of Kion Lean. This is going to lower my blood glucose after the meal I'm about to show you. And of course, no meal would be complete without a cocktail. So on this glass of ice, I'm going to do some fitvine. I usually don't do rose unless it's like a hot summer night, which it is. And we're going to blend this with some electrolytes. The hammer Enduro lights fizz. I told you this was going to be a biohacked meal. And then what else am I putting in there? Oh, this Fit Aid. No, Life Aid. Life Aid Looks like that. They sent me some cans because they were thinking about sponsoring the podcast. I'm not a huge fan of the agave, but if you drink it at the end of the day after workout when your liver's glycogen stores a little empty, it's not big deal. I'm a nutritionist. I know this stuff. They just got free advertising on Snapchat. Glug, glug, glug, glug, glug, glug.
Glug, glug, glug, glug, glug, glug. Finish it off with a little salt.
No, I'm not going to pour it I'm going to pinch it. I just can't do it while I'm holding my phone. The salt is available at Greenfield Fitness Systems. I don't know if you knew that. It is though. It is. I don't know why I'm talking like Napoleon Dynamite's brother. If you hadn't guessed it. My 20 ounce French cut grass fed grass finished rib eye steak from US Wellness Meats. And what do I have on there? You ask one thing. This is made by the same people that do that. Salt. It's a sayulita steak and vega.
Normally I go to the garden and pick rosemary and thyme and stuff like that for the steak, but this is a bioact meal. Cooking this steak using the exact method that I've talked about on podcasts before. So in a nutshell, cast iron skillet heating in the oven. That will come out of the oven, it'll get olive oil on it, it'll go on high on the burner. 4 minutes 1 side, 4 minutes the other side, then back underneath the broiler. 1 minute 1 side, 1 minute on the other side, then back onto the stovetop, put a pat of butter on the skillet and then finish it off with a 1 minute sear on either side. Should be on the Food Network. Some a really good teacher. See. And this will be served of course with a big handful of blueberries because blueberries plus meat enhances stem cell production, says the scientists. Right after I put this steak on, I'll be going into my pasta, which is going to be miracle noodles. No calories, no carbohydrates, gluten free, made from shirataki yams. I'm going to be blending that with some of this wander flakes. Ginger, turmeric, carrot, coconut oil soup mix and some red clover flowers from out in the field behind my house, which are actually really great for vitamin C. And some fresh basil from my garden and a little bit of fennel. Meal is well underway. Ha. Hair noodles versus steak.
Isn't this beautiful? I think it's beautiful. One final clip of the steak and we're gonna be ready. Shirt on. Because it'd be rude to eat with my shirt off. Now I'm gonna plate and I'll show you the final sure that when you plate your steak, you take the sauces and you pour them over the steak. Okay. Via Minte, as they say in Spain or Italy or France, Tanzania. Anyways, miracle noodles and steak biohacks meal. How do you like that, baby? If you go to instagram.com BenGreenfield Fitness. I will post links to all the stuff that I just used if you want discounts, codes, etc. Because if you do so, I will continue to be able to afford.
Sexy items like this. Blood sugar stayed pretty low after that meal. Guess those miracle noodles work this over and over again. When I take the Kion lean, my glucose goes way down after a meal. Like lower than it would with metformin.
