Father's Day Q&A with Ben Greenfield

From: Quicksilver Scientific - Sunday Jun 18,2023 03:16 pm

Q&A WITH Ben Greenfield FOR FATHER’S DAY Ben Greenfield is a health consultant, speaker, and New York Times bestselling author of a wide variety of books including Boundless Parenting. He's a father of twin boys - River and Terran - and husband to Jessa. We asked him a few questions about fatherhood.

Q. Tell us about your journey to becoming a father. A. As part of the celebration for finishing the Big Race Ironman Coeur d’Alene, my wife and I conceived that night. Five months later we found out that she was pregnant with twins! I was going to be a double dad! This is really what forced me to get all my ducks in a row and transition my life from a businessman to an author, a podcaster, an online consultant, and a homeschooling fully present father with a home office. Becoming a father made me realize the importance of legacy, and that I’m not just raising them, but my influence will continue for generations. It’s something you’ll never fully feel ready for, you just have to buckle in and do your best. Q: How do you manage the ups and downs of parenthood?  A: The first thing that comes to mind is my life partner and wife. We are completely aligned on everything. We have open and raw communication about everything concerning our family and carve out time every day and week to make room for these conversations. We also have many one-on-one dates with our children to check in and grow as a family. We have many routines as a family, such as game nights and nightly dinners, that help us stay together as a team. This makes it easier to tackle anything that comes our way. Finally, we as a family have a deep faith in God. He is critical for expressing our blessings and doubts, and we rely on him to give his grace to be there for our family. Q: What wellness rituals do you and your children share? A: We have many family wellness rituals. My sons and I love slipping into the Sauna 3 – 5 times a week and sweating our eyeballs out. We also do a lot of breathwork and hit cold plunges. Exercise is one of the most important things we do. I organize a weekly workout sheet for my family, normally working out together. Since a young age, the kids have been doing a mini version of Dad’s activities. Food is another central aspect of our family wellness. We’ve curated an intimate relationship with the ingredients and creation of each meal. Everyone always contributes, and we all act as partners in the kitchen. Finally, we have a lot of fun as a family. Multiple evenings per week we’ll play games, tennis, pickleball, golf, corn hole, etc. Most evenings are a party at the Greenfield household! Q: What is one valuable lesson that  you’re passing on to your children? A: The most valuable lesson is how to identify their life purpose and how to achieve it every day. Guiding them to realize what unique gifts they have and what God has called upon them to do. Really following what their passionate about and what ignites them internally. Self-actualizing their talents and gifts into careers will help them go out and bless the world.
