    Full Show Notes: bengreenfieldlife.com/adaptive

    In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Cody Strodtman, a naturopathic doctor, acupuncturist, and the author of "Your Life, Your Choice: The Rise of Adaptive Medicine." Broadcasting from their respective homes in Idaho and Portland, Oregon, Ben and Cody dive deep into the science of adaptive medicine—a philosophy that encourages listeners to transform everyday lifestyle practices into powerful medicine.

    Cody unpacks the essence of adaptive medicine, drawing from a decade-long obsession with understanding health beyond just treating disease. You’ll hear compelling discussions on circadian rhythms, environmental hormesis (think: cold plunges and sauna sessions), breathwork, fasting, and innovative techniques to optimize both body and mind. Cody shares science-backed routines—from inspiratory muscle training that can lower blood pressure, to strategic uses of cold and heat for boosting immunity and recovery.

    Dr. Cody Strodtman is a leading authority in Adaptive Medicine, blending his medical expertise and training as a Naturopathic Doctor and Acupuncturist, with a passion for empowering individuals to optimize their health. In his book, Your Life, Your Choice: The Rise of Adaptive Medicine, Dr. Strodtman offers foundational insights on preventing, treating, and reversing chronic diseases, while also enhancing performance and longevity. His unique approach emphasizes the power of lifestyle change, inspiring individuals to take control of their health through their behaviors.

  • Identity Inversion Part 2

    Identity Inversion Part 2
    Mar 24 2026
    Prayer, kindness, contentedness, honor, love, trust, obedience, abundance, intention, courage—here's exactly how I got to each word and what I'm doing with them. Episode Summary As I promised last week here are all 10 of my personal identity inversions, laid bare. In part 2 of the Identity Inversion series, I walk you through the full exercise I completed during an 8-hour personal retreat—2 hours each morning across 4 days—revealing the blind spots, weaknesses, and patterns I identified in my own life and the single words I'm using to redraw my identity. You’ll learn about everything from my impatience with imperfection to my fear of trying new things as I age. I also share practical tips for what to do with your list once you have it, including a surprisingly useful hack for categorizing your inversions. Question of the Day 🗣️ If you did this exercise right now, what's the first identity pattern that comes to mind, and what might your inversion word be? Key Takeaways This exercise took me 8 hours across 4 mornings during a personal retreat—and I recommend everyone schedule 3 to 5 days annually for exactly this kind of self-reflection work.I identified 10 inversions, each following the framework: describe the pattern in a paragraph, name the redemptive opposite in a sentence, and distill it into one word.My 10 inversion words: kindness, prayer, contentedness, honor, love, trust, obedience, abundance, intention, and courage.Feeding the list into GPT revealed a useful categorization: love anchors why I live, prayer/trust/obedience anchor who I depend on, intention/courage anchor how I move, contentedness/abundance anchor how tightly I hold, and kindness/honor anchor how I treat others.This isn't about perfection or self-worship—it's about becoming better equipped to love God and love others with the purpose you've been given.

    The AMAZING Future Of Regenerative Medicine, The New Sexier Alternative To Stem Cells, Where You Should Get Peptides (& The Best Peptides Stacks) & More With Dr. Matt Cook
    Mar 21 2026

    Full Show Notes: bengreenfieldlife.com/cook2026

    In this episode, I welcome regenerative medicine expert Dr Matthew Cook to explore what's new and exciting in regenerative medicine. You'll hear firsthand about groundbreaking stem cell treatments, the best peptide stacks, and how exosomes are shaping the future of health and longevity. Whether you're curious about the science behind anti-aging, optimizing recovery, or what's next for wearable tech and AI in healthcare, this conversation delivers practical insights and actionable takeaways.

    Dr. Cook graduated from the University of Washington School of Medicine, completed his residency in anesthesiology at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), and completed fellowships in Anti-Aging, Metabolic and Functional Medicine, and Peptide Therapy with the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine.

    After a decade focused on functional medicine (with 14 years prior working as an anesthesiologist), Dr. Cook's specialty is addressing the most challenging conditions. His proprietary multimodal approach regenerates, repairs, and restores health on a cellular level, dealing with root causes rather than masking symptoms.
