Forget the resolutions! Fitness guru\\xa0Ben Greenfield wants you to look beyond food and exercise to improve your wellbeing in this new year! In today\'s episode, he discusses the importance of invisible variables that affect our health. We can eat the cleanest, most pure diet in the world and yet, at the same time, neglect\\xa0some important factors that affect our bodies in significant ways.

Our environment and how we interact with it has a powerful effect on our health. Ben dives into the spirit and\\xa0the science related to maximizing our bodies\' potential. He explores the effect of music on the spirit, vitamin D on the heart and skin, and the stress-reduction that comes with being surrounded by nature. He touches on posture, sunshine, and clean air. He reviews\\xa0the physiological impact of our ever-connected lives (with computers, wifi radiation, bluetooth technology and more) and gives ideas on\\xa0how to mitigate the damage.

This conversation is as invigorating as a brisk walk on a winter morning.
