Today’s episode features Dr. Ben House. Dr. House has a Ph.D. in Nutrition from the University of Texas at Austin, is also a Nutritionist (CN), Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist (FDN), and Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner (CFMP).

Functional Medicine is Ben’s life’s passion. He has studied under some of the best in the world and continues to regularly attend and present at conferences and seminars around the world. As a strength coach, House has worked at both the high school and collegiate levels, including time under Coach Wright at the University of Texas Basketball. Besides practicing Functional Medicine, coaching, and writing articles for Functional Medicine Costa Rica, House has numerous publications in peer-reviewed, high-impact scientific journals.

I first found Ben’s work on the Train Adapt Evolve website several years ago, and seeing his journey to practicing functional medicine and leading retreats in Costa Rica in the time since been nothing short of inspiring. Ben is a versatile and exciting guest because of his experience and knowledge of multiple aspects of human beings, from nutrition, to physiology, to training concepts, to meditation, restoration and recovery. Ben has a tremendous knowledge of the associated research, and how this fits in with many current training trends.

On today’s show, Ben talks about meditation, recovery methods to calm athletes down from training, his take on the concept of training from a hormonal perspective, and also how to simplify corrective methods such as PRI into a user-friendly training session.
