Woo boy…do I have a doozy for you today! This past weekend, at the 2017 Spartan World Championship in Lake Tahoe, my trusty podcast sidekick Brock Jason Skywalker Armstrong and I pieced together a series of exclusive audio interviews with the world's top athletes, biohackers, inventors, physicians and more – and in today's article, you get access to all the goodies. 

We've got episodes on everything from the latest on doping scandals in endurance sports, to how burpees make you a better person, to the discovery of botany in your own backyard, to wild and embarrassing questions with the Mindpump guys and much, much more.

So bookmark this page for later, download whichever podcasts you'd like, subscribe in Apple Podcasts for free, and enjoy the knowledge and tips you're about to discover. If you have questions, comments or feedback about anything you hear, leave your thoughts below this post and we will reply!

This entire special podcast series is brought to you by Biotropic labs. You may remember Craig Dinkel – the mastermind behind the labs – as a guy I've interviewed three times about how to legally dope your blood, get better sex, experience more blood flow and enhance altitude performance and endurance (at BenGreenfieldFitness.com/dinkel you can take a listen to or read the transcripts of all our previous episodes).

In the video below, Craig and I delve into his Oxcia formula, AFA formula and blood oxygen/nitric oxide/ATP/erythrocyte support formula, all “must-haves” for the pantry of any serious biohacker, health enthusiast or athlete (especially an athlete like an obstacle course race competing at altitude). In the video, we also answer the crucial question: what are the best supplements for altitude?

If you visit BenGreenfieldFitness.com/biotropic you can use code BEN30 for 30% on all 3 bottles that we discuss in the video above (the video has all dosing instructions) or you can use code BEN for 20% discount on any single bottle.

OK, now that you're armed with some potent supplementation tactics, let's move on to the podcasts and videos, shall we?
