Fatherhood doesnโt start in the delivery room. In this conversation, Ben Greenfield shares the framework he lives by: optimize the dad first, then design the family system around what actually matters. That starts with fitness, biohacking, and health optimization long before a baby arrives.
We talk about male fertility and preconception health, including the mistakes men make without realizing it. We get into pregnancy fitness, how Ben supported his wife through strength training and recovery, and what happened when their home birth plan turned into a hospital C section. We also dig into biohacking, what tools actually support resilience and healing, which ones matter for kids, and where discipline, structure, and family systems tie it all together.
