35. Ben Greenfield on Forming Fitness Forward Families (Copy)

​​​​Fatherhood starts way before the delivery room, but most dads don’t realize it until the stakes get high. Sometimes conception may feel like luck, pregnancy like something mom handles, and birth like the starting line.

In this episode, I sit down with Ben Greenfield, a health consultant, New York Times bestselling author of Boundless and Boundless Parenting, and a dad to 17-year-old twin boys. Ben shares the framework he lives by: optimize the dad first, then design the family system around what you actually value. We talk fertility and preconception health, fitness and biohacking, pregnancy preparation, what happened when their home birth plan turned into a hospital C-section, and how Ben approaches discipline, recovery, and building a family culture without damaging trust.  

This conversation made fatherhood feel less like guesswork and more like something you can lead with intention.
