Detox Like a Pro: Ben Greenfield's Ultimate Guide to Cleansing Your Body Naturally

Hey, I'm Ben Greenfield and I'm the world's top biohacker. All it takes is jumping up and down on a trampoline. My name is Ben Greenfield. I'm a biohacker, celebrity trainer, nutritionist, New York Times best selling author and world renowned speaker. I'm on a constant quest to uncover.

Powerful and practical health hacks to awaken.

Unlock and unleash the full potential of the human body, mind and spirit.

I'm actually not joking partially. When you bounce up and down, either doing Tai chi style, shaking on the ground, or jumping up and down on a mini trampoline, AKA a rebounder, what happens to yourselves is way different than what happens to yourselves when you're walking or breathing or exercising. Because this action, this up and down rapid action, produces G forces. The reason that those G forces are important is because that's what allows the lymph fluid to move throughout your body, resulting in better management of inflammation and detoxification. So when you see the old people bouncing up and down on a trampoline, or you go to the park and there's a group of people doing the Tai chi and the qigong, moving and shaking, there's actually something to that. However, there's a lot more that you can do to support the body's natural detoxification practices. Every week, I do something that helps my body to detoxify. The reason that I do that is I don't like to wait until January rolls around and I've been treating my body like crap all year and I got to do a fancy bone broth fast or juice fast or water fast or 30 day cleanse or whatever. Those can actually work. Especially if you've been living an unhealthy lifestyle for a period of years or perhaps your whole life. But I'm instead a fan of doing small, weekly things that help the body to naturally detox.

First of all, I jump up and down on a trampoline for about five minutes every morning. Gets the lymph flowing, gets the bowels moving. It's fantastic. For detoxification and removal of inflammation. I support my body's three main detoxification pathways. What are those? The breath, the skin or the sweat and the stool. I engage in breath work on a regular basis. There are apps like Othership and Breathsource that you can use to learn proper breath work. Next, I do a deep sweat. This is a sauna. When I go inside the infrared sauna, what happens is light. Infrared light actually penetrates deeply into tissue and results in a deeper sweat than you get from a dry sauna or a steam room. And this can be fantastic to enhance detoxification. And then finally, even though I catch a lot of flack for this and you want to make sure the coffee is at the right temperature, once every week, I do a cold coffee enema. This enhances your gallbladder flow, your bile production. It detoxifies the colon. It's fantastic to support detoxification through the stool. Every week, I'm detoxing through my skin, through the stool, and then also through the breath. Anytime you're detoxing, you're going to lose a lot of minerals. I try and replenish minerals throughout the day with little pinches of sea salt or shilajit in my morning glass of water, or different forms of electrolyte like Protect or Quinton or lmnt. I also drink minerals from the soil. So, for example, this is a company called Beam Minerals. I do one shot of these each day. One is humic acid and one is fulvic acid. These are minerals harvested from clean soil. And it's one of the best ways to support the body's natural detoxification processes and to replace what it is you're losing when you're sweating, when you're pooping, when you're bouncing up and down, when you're breathing. Very important to support the body's natural internal detoxification pathways. You want to have something in your body, preferably when you're doing these detox days or these detox sessions, that binds to toxins. And then you want to have something in your body that helps to upregulate.

Removal of those toxins.

An example of a binder would be this. This is activated charcoal. This is from a company called Quicksilver Scientific. These are little black capsules. They were great for food poisoning or mold exposure also, by the way. And I'll take about four to five of these capsules before I do the shaking, the sauna, and the enema, to bind all of the toxins that I want to remove from those practices. The other thing that you want to do in addition to a binder so that stuff actually moves out of your body, is you want to support the body's liver detoxification pathways. There's four different liver detoxification pathways, and there's different things that you can use to support those. I would say one of the top things you should look into to support those pathways, though, are glutathione and then also what's called N acetylcysteine which acts very similar to glutathione. Glutathione and N acetylcysteine help your liver to get rid of the stuff that a binder like activated charcoal is actually binding up and preparing for removal. Every week or even every day, do little things that help to support lymph flow and detoxification. Jump up and down on a trampoline in the morning once a week, lay on the cold bathroom floor and do a coffee enema. Hop in the sauna three to five times a week before you do these activities, take a binder. Then a little later on, use something like glutathione to support the detoxification pathways. I'm often asked about what to do if you really do need a big detox. If you really just got to get rid of parasites and mold and fungus. There's all sorts of approaches that you can use. But a few of my favorites, that company called Quicksilver Scientific that makes the activated charcoal, they have a three month detox that's fantastic. I've had several of my clients do it. It's called the Q U B E. Quicksilver cube is one modern way to do this. Another way is using more ancient Ayurvedic practices. If you if you look up a certain type of detox called the Pancha Karma, it's fantastic. I interviewed a guy named Dr. Stephen Cabral about the Panchakarma Cleanse. Another very similar Ayurvedic based cleanse is by Dr. John Douyard of Boulder, Colorado. It's called a Colorado Cleanse and that's a two week cleanse that's also fantastic. And then finally another tried and true cleanse that works well to remove a lot from the body if you've been holding stuff in for a long time is made by Dr. Dan Pompa in Park City, Utah. And that's called the true cellular detox. If you want to think about the way that you'd approach these, the Cube or the true cellular detox is very good for metals. The Poncha Karma or the Ayurvedic Cleanse, that's a little bit better for just general detoxification. And then finally I want to show you one of the top secrets of ant any biohackers, medicine cabinet and that is ozone. Ozone is one of the most powerful ways to detoxify the body. Can be useful for mold, for infections, for viruses. As a matter of fact, even though many people will go to a functional.

Medicine doctor these days to get ozone.

IVs ozone plasmapheresis, extra corporeal blood ozonation and oxygenation and all sorts of features, fancy protocols. You can do ozone in your home.

You can make ozone water, you can make ozone capsules.

One of the best ways to get ozone into the body, however, is via.

Something called rectal insufflation.

I do rectal ozone once a week. My wife, for things like UTIs, yeast, fungus, etc does vaginal insufflation. And this is a, it's not, it's not inexpensive, but it really does not require that much. You've got an ozone generator from a company called simply O3 and we have an oxygen tank. A lot of times you need a prescription for pharmaceutical grade oxygen you would use with an ozone generator. But the way that this works, this is a bag. I'm going to fill this up with ozone. This is how it looks. First thing I do is I turn on the ozone generator. I know that if I turn this up to a level of 8 and I leave it running for one minute, this bag will fill with full 40 gamma of ozone, which is the exact dose recommended for a full body cleanse via rectal insufflation. The next thing I do is I open up the oxygen tank and I put it on a flow of what's called 1/4, which when paired with 8 on this machine will give me 40 gamma. I plug in my bag. Now what I do at this point is I leave the bag running for exactly 60 seconds. A lot of times as you're running this, you can even see smell ozone as it's coming out through the bag. So once this bag fills, use your imagination here. This is a rectal catheter. I will take this clean rectal catheter that only I use, none of my friends or neighbors, and I will attach it to this bag. After this bag is filled up with ozone, at that point, you squeeze the ozone up the butt. Literally. The catheter goes about 4 inches or so up your butt. When the ozone hits the rectal tissues, you get capillary absorption of ozone into your bloodstream. And it's one of the best things to do if you're starting to feel sick, if you've been exposed to mold, if you want a day of detoxification. Ozone is something that's very expensive if you go to a doctor's clinic to do it. But this is actually a pretty inexpensive way to do it right in the comfort of your own home. So if you'll excuse me, I've got.

Some ozone I gotta go put up my butt.
