In this episode he shares how a milestone birthday became the catalyst for upgrading his health, routines and mindset. From cleaning up his diet and building simple daily discipline, to embracing “friction maxing” – deliberately choosing the harder path to build resilience – Ben explains how small, consistent actions transformed the way he feels day to day. . This isn’t about extreme biohacking or perfection. It’s about accountability, momentum, and doing the difficult thing when it would be easier not to. If you want to get fitter, build better habits, and create energy that lasts, this episode is packed with practical lessons you can start applying immediately.
