Summary

In this episode with return guest and Indian entrepreneur Ritesh Bawri (you can check out our first show together here), you’ll get to explore the crucial role of gut health in overall well-being, how stress and eating habits impact digestion, and what can significantly improve gut function to prevent issues like leaky gut and autoimmune reactions. We discuss why there’s no perfect diet for everyone, how genetics and gut bacteria influence digestion, and how personalized testing can help identify the best foods for your body. Ritesh also breaks down why stool tests for bacteria, yeast, and parasites provide more useful insights than microbiome testing and how big data could eventually revolutionize gut health recommendations.

Whether you’re a wellness enthusiast or seeking answers to health concerns, this episode promises a wealth of valuable information to empower your journey to become a more boundless version of yourself.

0:00.0	My name is Ben Greenfield and on this episode of the Boundless Life podcast.
0:04.9	My own strategy and what I recommend is daily and weekly detoxification.
0:09.7	Daily detoxification is very simple, right?
0:12.8	Sweating, movement, some type of limp flow like jumping up and down on a trampoline or even
0:18.6	going on a walk where you're swinging your arms,
0:26.2	sweating and breathing, right? Because two major detoxification organs are our lungs and our skin.
0:32.3	Once per week, I do a little bit more of an intense detox. Specifically, what I do is I wake up and I take a binding agent. I like to use activated charcoal. And then I move my body, but I move it using G forces.
0:40.9	Then moving lymph through the body is also important. So once per week, I rub and tap each of my
0:48.2	major limp flow areas. After that, I hit the sauna and sweat things out for 30, 40 minutes.
0:54.3	I like to use the infrared sauna just because you get a deeper sweat because those photons

1:02.7	Welcome to The Boundless Life with me, your host, Ben Greenfield.
1:07.2	I'm a personal trainer, exercise physiologist, and nutritionist, and I'm passionate about

1:23.3	A lot of folks have asked me about the bicycle they can see behind me in my office when I'm recording podcasts.
1:30.9	Well, you can forget everything you knew about working out because this thing is called a carol.
1:34.8	It introduces a whole new era of fitness, intelligent, efficient, and tailored just for you.
1:39.1	It's AI-driven workouts maximize every second you spend.
1:42.8	Personalized resistance for peak performance for boosting
1:45.2	VO2 max to slashing your risk for chronic conditions, all grounded in solid science. It's like having
1:50.8	a personal trainer, scientist, and motivational coach all rolls into one sleek bicycling machine.
