#46: MAF Training and Longevity with Ben Edusei

72 min • 26 juli 2021

Ben Edusei is a close friend from New Zealand. He is a mobility, Strength & Conditioning and running coach.

We have really gotten to know each other very well over the past 18 months, when we talk 1 on 1 about a variety of topics.

Ben is also one of our coaches in our Personal Best Training Program, where he has created several follow along workout routines.

He is a father, ex-elite footballer, speaker and a strong runner, with a half marathon PB of 1:27 so far.

Ben has a degree in Sports Science, is a qualified plant-based Nutritionist and also coaches in epigenetics.

I had a blast catching up and recording our conversation. I hope you enjoy this as well.
