Imagine the lush landscape of Hawaii — the brilliant green foliage, the vibrant flowers, the fragrant herbs and plants — being transferred into your backyard or the parcel of land you've purchased.

In today's episode, I welcome Brad Krass and Doug Wolkon (a repeat guest on the show) who are experts in creating thriving, bountiful farms using only two or three acres of land. 

If you aren't familiar with my previous podcasts featuring Doug Wolkon of Kauai Farmacy (use code GREENFIELD15 to save 15%), I first discovered him through my friend Laird Hamilton when he brought me to Doug's fabulous farm in Kauai. He was growing a vast array of superfoods and extracting and making tinctures, oils, powders, and all sorts of different compounds from his small farm, using fascinating tactics. Since then, I've been a huge fan of Kauai Farmacy. I use their teas, salves, lotions, dried cacao beans, and all sorts of crazy superfoods that show up at my house from the islands every few months or so from Doug.

Doug ended up training Brad (also featured in today's show) who lives very close to me. Brad took all of Doug's concepts and did the same thing in Sandpoint, Idaho, about an hour from my house. Brad's farm, New Flower (use code BEN to save 10%), is a permaculture-based herb farm that promotes a wellness lifestyle culture through natural farming practices and a nourishing herbal apothecary with high-quality herbal products.

Learning how to farm in Hawaii and then reapplying it to a different area of the world is such an interesting concept that I knew I had to get this duo on the show together. By the end of today's episode, you'll walk away knowing more about all things farming, gardening, permaculture, and how to grow food anywhere using the cool concepts that Doug and Brad have implemented.

The transformative power of biohacking extends beyond the physical realm...

In my 20+ years as a human performance enthusiast, I've found that biohacking is more than just a tool for optimizing health; it's been instrumental in unlocking my life's mission, discovering profound purpose, and living with genuine meaning. This is why I share my bold experiments and transformative hacks — to guide you toward optimal health and a life rich in purpose and connection.

During my recent trip to India, I got the chance to sit down and reflect on my journey as a biohacker and explore the depths of increasing human performance, vitality, longevity, and life fulfillment with one of India's top businessmen, Mukesh Bansal.

As a leading authority in the sphere of health and wellness in India, Mukesh is the author of two influential books, No Limits and Hacking Health. No Limits distills his findings on talent, deliberate practice, mindset, habit, willpower, and learning to optimize performance. Hacking Health takes on the mammoth task of demystifying the science, simplifying the research, and tracing the story of your relationship with your body. Mukesh Bansal also hosts the podcast SparX, a gateway to the latest research, tested strategies, and actionable insights for maximizing your human potential.

If you're seeking practical insights into creating daily routines for optimal health and vitality, you won't want to miss out on this episode that supports your biohacking journey and helps you pursue a more meaningful life.

Picture this: nestled within a tiny seed lies the blueprint for life itself, quietly waiting for the right moment to burst forth. Add a splash of water and a hint of sunlight, and these unassuming seeds awaken, transforming into vibrant sprouts teeming with life and health benefits.

Today, I'm exploring the captivating world of sprouting with Doug Evans, the mastermind behind The Sprouting Company. If you're interested in uncovering the remarkable benefits of sprouts and how they can revolutionize your health and well-being, you won't want to miss this episode. 

Doug, an early pioneer in the natural food industry, wrote The Sprout Book, which I read during the COVID-19 quarantine. This book teaches you how to easily grow sprouts, microgreens, grasses, and much more. It also helps you discover the vast health benefits of sprouts, including improving the digestive process, increasing metabolic rate, boosting enzymatic activity, preventing anemia, aiding in weight loss, regulating cholesterol, reducing blood pressure, preventing neural tube defects, enhancing skin health, improving vision, supporting the immune system, and increasing usable energy reserves.

Doug's mission extends beyond providing sprouts; he's a beacon of knowledge on their nutritional benefits, making healthy eating and self-sufficiency in food production accessible to all. In this show, you'll explore topics like the best seeds for sprouting, the optimal daily intake of sprouts, the potential health risks associated with sprouting, proper storage methods, the best sprout recipes, and much more.

Oh, and if you're looking for additional information on sprouting, I suggest checking out our first podcast together: “How To Tap into the Power of the Planet’s Most Nutritious Foods: Sprouts, Shoots, Microgreens & More With Doug Evans.” You can also visit The Sprouting Company by clicking here (use code BEN to save 10%).
