Does Collagen Really Work? Here’s the Truth!

WEBVTT

00:00:19.492 --> 00:00:20.891
so hot topic.

00:00:20.891 --> 00:00:23.434
Hot topic in honor of rams absence.

00:00:23.634 --> 00:00:25.315
We're going to talk about viral trends.

00:00:25.315 --> 00:00:28.996
What he loves taking scoops and scoops of is Collagen.

00:00:29.097 --> 00:00:30.658
Collagen, yeah, collagen.

00:00:30.658 --> 00:00:33.188
So what are we thinking?

00:00:33.188 --> 00:00:38.509
There's a lot of viral content going on, a lot of people putting out their own supplements.

00:00:39.381 --> 00:00:42.691
So Lemmy's collagen in gummy form.

00:00:42.691 --> 00:00:47.389
The dosage in the gummy form is like'm like.

00:00:47.389 --> 00:00:51.725
I don't know, it might be a toenail, half a toenail, something.

00:00:51.807 --> 00:00:55.216
It's very very need, like a whole worth of toenails.

00:00:55.276 --> 00:01:00.066
Well, that video is saying like in 30 days things change for her.

00:01:00.066 --> 00:01:05.272
First of all, the dosage of that's not enough on there, that brand.

00:01:05.272 --> 00:01:16.183
The thing they did right was vitamin c, but anything that comes in gummy form I'm quite skeptical about when you say vitamin c, like?

00:01:16.224 --> 00:01:18.950
is vitamin c good in combination with collagen, with?

00:01:18.989 --> 00:01:26.918
collagen, because of you know collagen's like the building block and vitamin C helps kind of build those building blocks of collagen.

00:01:29.683 --> 00:01:37.635
And the combination they have there is good, but it's got a very small amount of collagen, hydrolyzed collagen, in there.

00:01:37.635 --> 00:01:47.600
So for that to have any effect at all, probably not effect at all.

00:01:47.600 --> 00:01:48.905
Um, probably not.

00:01:48.905 --> 00:01:52.656
Anything in gummy form I tell people to be quite skeptical about, because you know they usually are underpowered.

00:01:52.656 --> 00:01:53.317
They just taste good.

00:01:53.317 --> 00:01:53.457
It's a.

00:01:53.457 --> 00:01:54.180
It's great marketing.

00:01:54.180 --> 00:01:55.825
Who doesn't like taking gummies?

00:01:55.825 --> 00:01:59.576
Yeah, and you know, like who's going to take two gummies?

00:01:59.576 --> 00:02:04.548
You can take four or six, you know, just add sugar to it, yeah.

00:02:04.588 --> 00:02:06.933
Somebody take whatever if you just add sugar to it.

00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:08.199
Yeah, they all got sugar in them.

00:02:08.740 --> 00:02:12.310
That's why everybody used to come to me in undergrad to make all their jungle juice.

00:02:12.310 --> 00:02:14.665
Yeah, they're like this is great.

00:02:14.665 --> 00:02:15.549
What'd you put in it?

00:02:15.549 --> 00:02:18.628
I was like, oh, it's grain, alcohol and Kool-Aid.

00:02:18.930 --> 00:02:26.501
Yeah, they're like how do?

00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:27.764
you know the right amount to mix.

00:02:27.764 --> 00:02:30.329
I'm like I just keep putting kool-aid in there until you can't taste the grain alcohol.

00:02:30.348 --> 00:02:32.873
Yeah, so it's the same same thing they're going for.

00:02:32.873 --> 00:02:33.155
Yeah, yeah so.

00:02:33.155 --> 00:02:40.149
So the lemmy brand, you know not one that, like, I don't think it does anything.

00:02:40.149 --> 00:02:58.546
Um and beyond that, like, especially not in 30 days like, for you to see any changes with taking collagen, especially in your skin, it's going to take, you know, 8 to 12 weeks of being on the supplement daily what would be the benefits of taking collagen?

00:02:58.866 --> 00:03:32.129
so you know, some of the stuff they say is true, some of the stuff they say is false, um, some of it it's anecdotal some stuff like people like a lot of it feel the benefits or something, but it's not statistically yeah, most of the studies don't actually like you know, and they're run by the industry yeah so you know how much of it is true is unknown so you can say that about pretty much everything yeah, but some things have like blinded studies that are done appropriately and not run by the industry.

00:03:32.210 --> 00:03:42.343
But um, but a lot of the collagen stuff's run by industry and you know they purport what they want, but I think a lot of it comes to hydration, you know.

00:03:42.343 --> 00:03:45.012
I think it's overall hydration to your skin.

00:03:45.012 --> 00:03:53.491
So it does improve, like the plumpness of your skin, but it does take the eight to 12 weeks and you got to take it daily.

00:03:53.491 --> 00:03:57.310
You got to take appropriate amounts and make sure it's like.

00:03:57.310 --> 00:04:01.491
The form that you need to get it in is the hydrolyzed form.

00:04:01.659 --> 00:04:13.426
There's a lot of other kinds you could get but the hydrolyzed because the hydrolyzed form your stomach can actually absorb through your gut lining.

00:04:13.941 --> 00:04:20.108
So, rather than breaking it down before it brings it in and then remakes, it.

00:04:21.843 --> 00:04:26.247
So you're not going to actually remake the collagen, so your body's going to, so it's a good source of protein and it's so you're.

00:04:26.247 --> 00:04:40.033
You're not going to actually remake the collagen, so your body's gonna, so it's a good source of protein and it's a supplement, and you can't say it's like directly going into your skin care yeah, skin care, so you know your body's going to use that cool yeah, it's ingesting it's.

00:04:40.139 --> 00:04:47.774
Yeah, your body's going to use that collagen the best way it can, so it could automatically like when you take it in.

00:04:47.774 --> 00:04:56.824
Some of it's going to go to like building your skin, but a lot of it's going to be used to like whether your body needs it for energy or something else.

00:04:56.824 --> 00:04:58.029
It's going to get used up.

00:04:58.029 --> 00:05:05.367
And some of it does go into, like building that video she was pretty much saying the effects on her abs.

00:05:06.290 --> 00:05:07.740
I think right, was she?

00:05:07.740 --> 00:05:12.095
Yeah, it doesn't do anything for the abs, it doesn't you don't build, you don't build muscle.

00:05:13.422 --> 00:05:26.057
Um, you know, collagen, everything but if it's a healthy diet supplemented with collagen, like because you've said it before collagen, collagen with heavy doses in bone broth, yeah.

00:05:27.300 --> 00:05:40.288
But even that, when you read the studies and stuff, you can drink gallons and gallons of bone broth but you're not going to absorb that collagen that's in there because it's not broken down for you to be able to digest it.

00:05:40.309 --> 00:05:41.271
Do you absorb any of that?

00:05:41.980 --> 00:05:49.978
You do, but it's very little amount and it's not in the form that you need to for your skin and eat your salt-free bone broth.

00:05:49.978 --> 00:06:01.872
No bone broth is good for you in other ways, but like you're not taking it for the collagen, so collagens can be naturally created in your body.

00:06:01.973 --> 00:06:08.095
Yeah, and it requires like three amino acids, I believe Collagens are protein, yeah so, and it requires like three amino acids.

00:06:08.095 --> 00:06:09.658
I believe Collagen is a protein?

00:06:09.658 --> 00:06:18.165
Yeah, correct, um, are any of those proteins, uh, amino acids, sorry, essential, like do you have to ingest anything?

00:06:18.769 --> 00:06:20.846
No, so those are all chains.

00:06:21.100 --> 00:06:27.456
So just brings me to like cause I supplement with amino acids and collagen.

00:06:27.456 --> 00:06:40.625
Yeah, like am I just spending a lot on supplements because I make I, I, I think overall, like I take it every day I think it does improve your skin.

00:06:41.505 --> 00:06:46.093
I I take the thorn brand, yeah, and that has a lot of that.

00:06:46.093 --> 00:06:48.440
Has other stuff for skin health as well.

00:06:48.440 --> 00:06:51.747
Um, that are been well tested and the thorn.

00:06:51.786 --> 00:06:58.750
Collagen blend or amino acid blend, the thorn collagen blend do you take and also I I do I put?

00:06:59.312 --> 00:07:06.411
I put the, their amino complex, which is the nine essential aminos that your body doesn't make, and you have to take it.

00:07:06.411 --> 00:07:06.920
Do you feel?

00:07:06.940 --> 00:07:10.233
at some points like a random thought today.

00:07:10.233 --> 00:07:16.565
Yeah, because I take like what, like five, six pills, yeah, in the morning for a supplement.

00:07:16.887 --> 00:07:17.007
Yeah.

00:07:17.521 --> 00:07:19.487
And five powders.

00:07:19.709 --> 00:07:19.910
Yeah.

00:07:20.880 --> 00:07:24.331
And the five powders are put in the Yetii jug.

00:07:24.331 --> 00:07:29.447
That we both have just to make sure we stay hydrated and get all all the essentials.

00:07:29.447 --> 00:07:31.694
Yeah, do you think we're?

00:07:31.694 --> 00:07:40.096
We're kind of like trying to put together whatever it took to originally like put life together on earth.

00:07:40.096 --> 00:07:45.035
Yeah, like, okay, this is like just sprinkle some more of that on there yeah, make.

00:07:45.216 --> 00:07:49.889
Well, your body depletes this or that, yeah, you know, and then that's.

00:07:49.889 --> 00:07:51.853
That's the thing with collagen too, that.

00:07:51.853 --> 00:08:07.401
So your body begins to, you know, decrease collagen after you're 20 and you're in mid-20s, and then by 30s, production yeah, and by 30 you're like losing about one percent collagen per year.

00:08:07.401 --> 00:08:09.165
Okay, in your system.

00:08:09.165 --> 00:08:14.141
And you could do things to speed that up and do you know what those are.

00:08:14.141 --> 00:08:15.742
So something.

00:08:15.802 --> 00:08:34.081
What you're describing is is stagflation of my collagen from recent so smoking, eating sugar, eating poorly, you know um uv radiation yeah, all that stuff's gonna decrease the amount of collagen you're producing and break down the collagen you have.

00:08:34.081 --> 00:08:41.933
So that's why you see wrinkling, poor aging with you know, lack of collagen that makes sense.

00:08:42.561 --> 00:08:46.731
I haven't met somebody that smokes with nice thick, plump skin.

00:08:46.731 --> 00:08:48.283
Yeah, just like man.

00:08:48.283 --> 00:08:49.024
What are you doing?

00:08:49.024 --> 00:08:49.866
What's your secret?

00:08:49.866 --> 00:08:51.750
Especially good, oh, I smoke cigarettes.

00:08:51.871 --> 00:09:00.144
I dip yeah, well, it's especially good when they're tanning, smoking a cigarette and drinking a margarita, so you're hitting all three all at once.

00:09:00.144 --> 00:09:06.554
So, yeah, collagen is essential and we both use it.

00:09:06.554 --> 00:09:11.806
Yeah, I, I use, I put that, I put the essential aminos and I use creatine.

00:09:11.806 --> 00:09:19.505
Every day I make a jug and that's where we're going with the supplement line we're kind of making is to cover everything.

00:09:19.505 --> 00:09:22.111
Yeah, so you have the all-in-one.

00:09:22.111 --> 00:09:27.210
We don't have collagen in there, but you know, it's not not one of the essential things we thought.

00:09:27.230 --> 00:09:28.113
But everything's in there.

00:09:28.113 --> 00:09:32.269
It helps make more collagen, especially at the right doses.

00:09:32.269 --> 00:09:35.668
Yes, what's going viral now about collagen?

00:09:35.860 --> 00:09:37.947
My favorite collagen brands.

00:09:37.947 --> 00:09:40.025
So if you're new to my channel, hi.

00:09:40.025 --> 00:09:40.908
My name is Robert Love.

00:09:40.908 --> 00:09:42.044
I'm a neuroscientist.

00:09:42.044 --> 00:09:51.647
I specialize in helping people prevent Alzheimer's disease with science, and collagen can be a really powerful tool in anti-aging as well as reducing the risk of Alzheimer's disease.

00:09:51.647 --> 00:10:04.727
If you've seen the research, there's been a recent review showing that regular collagen supplementation improves skin quality, specifically improves skin hydration, it improves skin elasticity and it reduces wrinkles.

00:10:04.727 --> 00:10:05.366
So that's cool.

00:10:05.366 --> 00:10:08.931
And the look the longer, the younger you look, the younger you feel.

00:10:08.931 --> 00:10:09.815
So that could be really good.

00:10:09.815 --> 00:10:16.650
Number two there's research to show that collagen improves bone density and muscle density in women.

00:10:16.650 --> 00:10:21.195
That's really helpful and it's really important to exercise to reduce the risk of alzheimer's.

00:10:21.195 --> 00:10:26.692
So having healthier bones and having healthier muscles enables you to do more healthy exercise.

00:10:26.734 --> 00:10:27.917
So what brands do I take?

00:10:27.917 --> 00:10:29.982
So this is one that I've been taking most frequently.

00:10:29.982 --> 00:10:32.148
This is Vital Proteins.

00:10:32.148 --> 00:10:33.309
I get this at Costco.

00:10:33.309 --> 00:10:34.393
I ordered this online.

00:10:34.393 --> 00:10:35.504
It was like 40 bucks.

00:10:35.504 --> 00:10:38.115
This is like $30 at Costco, so I bought a whole bunch of this.

00:10:38.115 --> 00:10:41.284
I've been taking this for maybe six months.

00:10:41.284 --> 00:10:42.727
I like the chocolate the best.

00:10:42.727 --> 00:10:43.791
This is the neutral flavor.

00:10:43.791 --> 00:10:52.243
This is all they had, and I'm trying a new kind.

00:10:52.243 --> 00:10:53.086
This is Organe Collagen Peptides.

00:10:53.086 --> 00:10:53.809
I also got this from Costco.

00:10:53.809 --> 00:10:58.322
I haven't tried this out yet, so I can't tell you which one's better, but I'm testing these to see which one feels better in my body.

00:10:58.322 --> 00:10:59.625
And then someone just sent this to me.

00:10:59.625 --> 00:11:01.527
By the way, none of these are sponsors of the show.

00:11:01.527 --> 00:11:03.229
None of these sponsored my channel.

00:11:03.229 --> 00:11:04.490
I just got sent this one.

00:11:04.490 --> 00:11:08.515
This is modere and, uh, this one looks really promising.

00:11:08.515 --> 00:11:09.616
Look, look, how nice it looks.

00:11:09.616 --> 00:11:12.047
I'm going to try this out and see how this feels as well.

00:11:12.047 --> 00:11:13.048
So what do you think?

00:11:13.070 --> 00:11:13.792
about that one.

00:11:13.792 --> 00:11:28.929
Anytime somebody starts a video with I'm a, this person like if if I made a video and I was like, hey, I'm a plastic surgeon, it's like that would automatically like turn me off yeah.

00:11:28.929 --> 00:11:38.668
I'm a used car salesman which, hey, our dad was, yeah, and we technically I was actually for a brief period of time.

00:11:39.551 --> 00:11:41.624
Nothing wrong with that, you own up to it.

00:11:41.624 --> 00:11:43.330
But like what do you you?

00:11:43.330 --> 00:11:44.614
Why do you have to?

00:11:44.614 --> 00:11:55.726
Like you don't give people your title right away, like hey, I'm a bachelor of arts in psychology, which this guy sounds like he has he needs to kind of see a psychologist.

00:11:55.767 --> 00:12:00.740
But but like no, not if he's making sales on tiktok videos I guess not.

00:12:00.740 --> 00:12:12.690
There's some well more more money, more problems, right, maybe, but like his whole, like reason to take collagen to prevent Alzheimer's with being you know.

00:12:12.690 --> 00:12:22.256
And, like I said, like the studies he's reporting, like look at the studies, who's running them, yeah, and what they're using.

00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:26.881
He's just thrown out these brands that I got.

00:12:26.881 --> 00:12:41.041
I gotta tell you the um, I just randomly not randomly, but like looking at like different things that we've like looked up for, like what's actually good with longevity and like science of whatever science nature.

00:12:41.041 --> 00:12:44.346
Yeah, new england journal is I.

00:12:44.346 --> 00:12:55.870
I really like the research behind processed red meats and dose dependent being highly correlative to alzheimer's.

00:12:55.870 --> 00:13:18.586
Yeah, and it's not like you're a wholesome grass-fed like red meats, it's specifically processed red meats and like your mcdonald's red meat dude, it's hot dogs yeah, hamburgers like low-end stuff too, I mean it's.

00:13:18.745 --> 00:13:21.250
It's the cheaper goods, so they'll sell.

00:13:21.250 --> 00:13:23.774
Yeah, to a certain degree it doesn't matter.

00:13:23.774 --> 00:13:25.145
But do they have collagen in them?

00:13:25.145 --> 00:13:28.086
Not if you supplement with that.

00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:30.457
But you could pour that collagen powder on it.

00:13:30.518 --> 00:13:33.229
Right, you can pour the collagen powder on your face actually.

00:13:33.681 --> 00:13:35.629
You're free to pour it anywhere you want.

00:13:35.629 --> 00:13:38.839
So what if they're making those meat patties with that collagen?

00:13:38.859 --> 00:13:38.980
powder.

00:13:38.980 --> 00:13:44.812
I'm just going to go to a nursing home and just sprinkle collagen powder on everybody's face.

00:13:45.947 --> 00:13:54.072
Yeah, so their face looks younger, but like he's talking about alzheimer's and like it just preventing alzheimer's.

00:13:54.613 --> 00:13:59.888
I would not take from a self-proclaimed neurobiologist.

00:14:00.327 --> 00:14:16.943
Yeah, let's see so yeah, he's like so your skin looks healthier, so you're gonna think like you're younger, your bones are gonna be stronger, but like those studies you know no, your bones are always stronger if you forget how weak they were the day before.

00:14:16.943 --> 00:14:20.967
Yeah, exactly, but like, but.

00:14:20.967 --> 00:14:40.086
Like he's saying on a female study that I think I know what studies he's talking about and that was also industry run and there's a lot of faults in that one too Faults and biases and confounding factors.

00:14:40.126 --> 00:14:50.823
Collagen does help is it does help with elasticity, does help with, um, your skin being more plump and well hydrated.

00:14:50.823 --> 00:14:52.366
That stuff it does.

00:14:52.366 --> 00:15:05.768
It does help with even with, like, building bone strength and, yeah, muscle strength and, in the females, um so it's not not to because collagen's everywhere so it's going to help out in different areas.

00:15:05.768 --> 00:15:17.809
The like the first video talking about hair growth and stuff like it may help with the hair growth but like hair is made of keratin, it's not actually collagen.

00:15:17.850 --> 00:15:25.131
So it's a little after watching that video and looking at my chest hair, I'm like I might be taking in way too much collagen.

00:15:25.131 --> 00:15:27.047
Yeah, do you rub it on your chest.

00:15:27.047 --> 00:15:28.884
No, I'm about to.

00:15:29.086 --> 00:15:31.453
That might be when you're spilling the scoop on your chest.

00:15:31.453 --> 00:15:35.125
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you just sprinkle it on my face and some of it spills on my chest.

00:15:35.385 --> 00:15:35.547
Yeah.

00:15:35.586 --> 00:15:37.846
That's why the beard has to be shaved every day.

00:15:37.846 --> 00:15:44.554
But like I was thinking of on the chest, yeah, just from my collagen excess yeah, yeah.

00:15:44.595 --> 00:15:51.912
So like there hasn't been studies showing like collagen collagen improves your hair growth or anything like that so.

00:15:52.011 --> 00:16:02.282
So what I want to know is like is it better to take one of these collagen supplements or an amino acid complex?

00:16:03.364 --> 00:16:19.797
well, if it contains the you know it matters, I don't know they you know a lot of the studies like the thing is, a lot of the studies also like, when you look at it, they're taking multiple different things, so it's not controlled forget studies.

00:16:19.856 --> 00:16:22.543
Let's do a meta analysis on tiktok stuff.

00:16:22.543 --> 00:16:24.047
Yeah, so if you're?

00:16:24.086 --> 00:16:29.668
taking in the same amino acids that are in collagen and it's going to help out your elasticity.

00:16:29.668 --> 00:16:38.919
But when you're taking the essential aminos, that's helping more your catecholamines, your hormones and everything like that, so it's not going to help with your skin health as much.

00:16:39.547 --> 00:16:50.207
So here's my theory when you're taking the building blocks to make collagen, or whatever type of protein, yeah, that your body needs to make, yeah, to just get by or be better.

00:16:50.207 --> 00:17:00.732
It's, uh, if you're deficient in one route, like okay, this is better for your skin, this is better for, like, gut health, liver health.

00:17:00.732 --> 00:17:08.266
Uh, if you're deficient in any of them because it's it's like mix and match, right, yeah, 20 amino acids.

00:17:08.266 --> 00:17:21.883
Your body grabs a bunch of them, makes a protein out of it and like delivers it to a certain system, so it's, it's almost like all right, you can take those specific amino acids to make collagen, yeah.

00:17:21.883 --> 00:17:32.259
However, if they they're needed in a pathway, for it's going to bind with something else, yeah, it'll bind with something else, or your body kind of self-regulates.

00:17:32.319 --> 00:18:03.467
So if you need more going to bone, like, let's say, two out of those three amino acids, go to that yeah, but but like, yeah, the whole thing is like it's a supplement and it's an additive that you, you could take every day, just like a multivitamin, you know, and like even multivitamins just recently proven, like they did a study and like showed to extend life, um, uh, I gotta go back to that study.

00:18:03.467 --> 00:18:05.692
It was just reported a few weeks ago.

00:18:05.751 --> 00:18:28.317
I couldn't get the full article I think it's probably biased a little bit, because it probably is, but you don't know which vitamins and the they might not just that if you're in, if you're willing to take a vitamin every day, you're inherently more willing to take care of yourself than somebody that doesn't almost like like here's the health for like brushing your teeth, but.

00:18:28.416 --> 00:18:33.352
But the multivitamin was in a controlled setting where they gave some people and some people placebo.

00:18:33.874 --> 00:18:35.440
But here's the thing with people.

00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:37.565
Yeah, were they at the 7-eleven?

00:18:37.765 --> 00:18:53.340
yeah, with stuff with what you're trying to do with collagen and skin care, like, yeah, it's going to help, I think, like supplementing, like when you're trying to heal stuff or when you, you know, like we do microneedling or laser treatments.

00:18:53.340 --> 00:19:03.491
I think, when you're doing those treatments, to increase the collagen in your skin, it's probably helpful to have that to so you're able to produce more.

00:19:03.700 --> 00:19:04.728
So you're saying supplement definitely.

00:19:04.748 --> 00:19:26.749
So you're saying supplement definitely if you're doing any type of I think it's helpful that makes a lot of sense actually, yeah, and like doing appropriate skincare and that's where you're gonna see, you know, direct effect of, yeah, the the collagen, not actually putting the collagen on your skin, because that's not going to work because your body's not going to absorb that collagen.

00:19:26.749 --> 00:19:30.473
Um, it's, you know, taking that.

00:19:30.473 --> 00:19:39.323
You're so, internally, your body's making it and it's had this trauma that it's going to produce more collagen so it has the food to be able to right.

00:19:39.383 --> 00:20:00.554
Correct the building blocks to the building blocks, like we always hear in, like med school, yeah, um, but the building blocks to have the appropriate response for the treatment you're getting, yeah, so like, get the appropriate things and supplement to really get the full effect of yeah what, what?

00:20:00.554 --> 00:20:04.269
Whatever you're getting done is gonna like you.

00:20:04.509 --> 00:20:05.853
So collagen is in everything.

00:20:05.853 --> 00:20:14.832
It's pretty much the scaffolding, or you could you know if you've got a wood-framed house, it's the wood frame to the house.

00:20:14.832 --> 00:20:21.071
You know, type 1 and 3 are in like your bones.

00:20:21.071 --> 00:20:31.221
2 is in your cartilage, 3 is in your cartilage.

00:20:31.261 --> 00:20:32.085
um, uh, three is in your vessels.

00:20:32.085 --> 00:20:33.428
Uh, yeah, that's right.

00:20:33.428 --> 00:20:34.089
Right, three's in the vessels.

00:20:34.089 --> 00:20:35.413
I I don't know.

00:20:35.413 --> 00:20:36.356
Yeah, yeah, it's in muscles.

00:20:36.436 --> 00:21:02.321
I used to what I needed to know, but yeah three is in muscles, tendons, um, I think four's in your vessels, endothelial lining, uh, so they're building blocks and everything you have it's a nice connective tissue, like even, even if, like from what you're saying is like even in tissues that you don't think, collagen is there, yeah, it's still there, supporting the system.

00:21:02.603 --> 00:21:04.766
yeah, keeping things together, yeah.

00:21:04.987 --> 00:21:11.201
And you know like paying more for some of these supplements over others it's.

00:21:11.201 --> 00:21:16.653
You know, collagen is usually pretty cheap peptide to be able to get.

00:21:16.653 --> 00:21:45.148
And then you know there's different stories about, like you know, marine collagen versus bovine collagen or cow collagen versus, you know, pig collagen, which one's better and one's better than the other, Like there's no, you know, I think there was one study that said like the marine collagens better for skin but not for.

00:21:45.169 --> 00:21:45.851
What are marine collagens From?

00:21:45.851 --> 00:21:48.279
For skin, but not from dolphin fins, yeah, from dolphin?

00:21:48.740 --> 00:21:50.385
really no, I don't know what they're from.

00:21:50.707 --> 00:21:51.107
I was like.

00:21:51.167 --> 00:21:58.950
Dolphin fins sound like a really good source of collagen, but if you're eating vegan collagen, that's not true collagen.

00:21:58.950 --> 00:22:02.265
So yeah, if you're, if you're eating vegan.

00:22:02.285 --> 00:22:03.087
You're not eating.

00:22:03.087 --> 00:22:08.685
Eating, yeah, correct, yeah, okay, I don't know what that means Like fish bones.

00:22:09.339 --> 00:22:13.869
Well, yeah, it's from fish, so it could come, yeah, probably from bones and stuff.

00:22:15.321 --> 00:22:20.218
I think an understudied thing is actual absorption.

00:22:20.218 --> 00:22:23.551
Yeah, because, like a lot of people take a lot of different supplements.

00:22:24.013 --> 00:22:24.174
Yeah.

00:22:24.885 --> 00:22:31.490
And from different brands, and it's clearly why we picking our brains the way we do.

00:22:31.490 --> 00:22:39.815
We think they have the best absorption yeah there's no like actual studies to like go off of, like.

00:22:39.815 --> 00:22:45.892
Okay, you know what I'm taking this to benefit me this way and this way and this way.

00:22:46.180 --> 00:22:51.951
You can also have genetic abnormalities where you're not absorbing it either too, or digesting right.

00:22:52.673 --> 00:22:59.313
True, or just like the microbiomes don't break things down the way they're supposed to.

00:22:59.313 --> 00:23:02.366
So I don't know.

00:23:02.366 --> 00:23:05.448
I'm still going to take my supplements.

00:23:05.448 --> 00:23:08.009
I'd started like four months ago.

00:23:08.009 --> 00:23:09.506
I feel better every day.

00:23:09.506 --> 00:23:24.650
I sleep better and also been exercising, so that helps out, but it's good to be able to like support the whole body, yeah, while putting yourself through that strain.

00:23:24.711 --> 00:23:52.311
Yeah, I think like, especially when I started taking GLP-1s, when I didn't take collagen and then I started the Thorne skin collagen, I think like I definitely noticed more plumpness in my skin, especially like in my cheeks and face, where I felt like I was really getting hollowed out with taking the glp-1s you didn't look dead, no more no, look at me.

00:23:52.392 --> 00:24:34.220
I'm woke so, um, and the other thing is, like you know, thorn does a lot of the anti-aging and anti-inflammatory stuff and they have so much stuff, it's it's hard to keep up with everything yeah, but even that collagen, that collagen plus, it has like mitoheal, which is known to, it's like black currant and it's known to and been shown in studies to improve skin and healing and it has nice, nice in her nicotinamide riboside, which is great anti-aging and I think just cellular hydration is a big point of this whole collagen.

00:24:34.220 --> 00:24:36.506
Yeah, that makes sense.

00:24:39.320 --> 00:25:05.204
But that actually is a good point because that's like the osmotic pressure yeah, Correct, Like collagen, strong protein in a lot of different cells, and the osmotic pressure is concentration of protein to water and if you have more protein, most cell membranes will get water to go through it.

00:25:05.204 --> 00:25:13.849
To balance out that protein to water, that protein water balance, I guess you would call it.

00:25:13.849 --> 00:25:25.496
And yeah, if you're properly hydrated with the proper amount of proteins, then that osmotic balance is optimal to like.

00:25:25.496 --> 00:25:30.718
Just make sure your body systems are in the right balance, I guess.

00:25:31.660 --> 00:25:32.000
Yeah, I don't know.

00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:36.170
So actually eating you know when they talk about.

00:25:36.170 --> 00:25:45.269
You know when I tell you you can't take bone broth to improve collagen but eating chicken cartilage, actually you absorb that.

00:25:45.690 --> 00:25:46.332
No shit.

00:25:46.432 --> 00:25:48.570
Yeah, there was one study on that.

00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:52.490
Dude, I've been like ridiculed for the amount of chicken cartilage I eat.

00:25:52.490 --> 00:25:54.027
You often eat chicken wing.

00:25:54.200 --> 00:25:56.686
Yeah, I think it's actually no shit.

00:25:56.686 --> 00:25:57.891
Yeah, oh, yes.

00:25:57.891 --> 00:26:00.809
You actually like get some benefits of that.

00:26:00.890 --> 00:26:17.492
I think it was um type 2 collagen like uh, joint health just like the the caps at the end of the chicken bones, right, yeah, yeah, I knew I was doing something right, because um people like, oh, you're so unhealthy.

00:26:17.532 --> 00:26:20.890
I'm like I don't know, yeah, I might actually be healthy.

00:26:20.890 --> 00:26:24.638
The other thing with a bone broth is like how it's prepared and stuff too.

00:26:24.638 --> 00:26:29.031
Yeah, it makes a huge difference in like the nutrients and stuff you absorb.

00:26:30.121 --> 00:26:31.827
How about with the nutrient labels?

00:26:31.827 --> 00:26:38.693
Like kettle and fire with like eight ounces getting you 20% of your protein?

00:26:38.693 --> 00:26:40.500
I don't know.

00:26:40.500 --> 00:26:41.284
Like know what, do you think?

00:26:42.607 --> 00:27:04.204
it's a shit ton of sodium it's like, there's like 60 of your daily value of sodium yeah, but you can't say 20 of your protein, because that's okay, 19 grams of protein yeah, that's more like it, because yeah matters your body weight and body weight yeah what you need so but really chicken cartilage yeah, I can't wait.

00:27:04.204 --> 00:27:06.289
Yeah, next time I get ridiculed for this.

00:27:06.509 --> 00:27:17.626
Yeah you know how many times I've been harassed by multiple people like dude that you're gonna eat, you're gonna, you're gonna rape that chicken bone like a man you must be hungry.

00:27:17.626 --> 00:27:23.114
Yeah, because you just strip that down to everything.

00:27:23.114 --> 00:27:24.296
Best part of it?

00:27:24.296 --> 00:27:25.886
Damn it, is it just us two?

00:27:25.886 --> 00:27:26.851
I don't know.

00:27:26.891 --> 00:27:35.634
There's got to be other people in the world that well, like the funny thing is, um, I was reading, like the chicken, chicken.

00:27:35.634 --> 00:27:45.105
Uh, when they use the chicken for the cartilage, they use the breast, their breast bone that big breast cartilage.

00:27:45.105 --> 00:27:49.079
They grind that down to create collagen.

00:27:49.561 --> 00:27:50.105
I love that.

00:27:50.105 --> 00:27:53.076
It's like my favorite part of a chicken.

00:27:53.076 --> 00:27:57.066
Or turkey is like that little xiphoid process.

00:27:58.424 --> 00:28:04.265
That stuff's great yeah, you know, like we have it in our post-op uh protocol.

00:28:04.265 --> 00:28:11.906
We recommend uh patients take collagen uh with the healing process, because and a couple turkey breasts.

00:28:12.167 --> 00:28:13.573
Yeah, couple turkey breasts.

00:28:13.573 --> 00:28:15.400
Yeah, it's like your xiphoid cartilage.

00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:18.445
Yeah yeah, because it's going to help out overall.

00:28:18.445 --> 00:28:19.508
It's going to help out overall.

00:28:19.508 --> 00:28:22.453
It's going to help out your healing process and get you hydrated as well.

00:28:22.859 --> 00:28:25.368
Yeah, that's a huge part.

00:28:26.321 --> 00:28:30.172
I think it plays a huge part in just hydrating yourself.

00:28:31.401 --> 00:28:41.470
Especially in a time of stress, because after surgery that is a high-st stress situation for your body.

00:28:42.071 --> 00:28:55.011
Yeah, and you don't get the blood flow to the appropriate areas because you have swelling in those areas that have been traumatized, so that swelling decreases the actual blood flow that you're getting yeah.

00:28:55.011 --> 00:29:09.791
So until that blood, until that swelling comes down, you're not going to get as much blood flow, because you're going to have all these People get swelling because of inflammation is just a natural way of the body to heal.

00:29:09.791 --> 00:29:15.574
Yeah, the initial inflammatory phase of healing is your inflammatory process?

00:29:15.740 --> 00:29:18.430
Yeah, yeah, we talked about hydrolyzed collagen.

00:29:18.430 --> 00:29:26.204
If you're going to, if you're going to take collagen, make sure it's hydrolyzed and if it's complex, together with vitamin C.

00:29:26.204 --> 00:29:38.078
Or eat an orange with your collagen, protein, pineapple juice, collagen, peptide coffee that you drink, or pour it into your orange juice.

00:29:38.078 --> 00:29:42.912
That could be a good combo to get it well absorbed.

00:29:45.503 --> 00:29:48.211
So, if I'm chewing on the bones, I give my dogs.

00:29:48.901 --> 00:29:51.509
Before I do that, I should take some vitamin C tablets.

00:29:52.320 --> 00:30:02.501
But if you're French and you have your cup of coffee pour your collagen powder smoke a cigarette and drink your orange juice.

00:30:02.521 --> 00:30:04.186
Wear orange, black and white striped shirt.

00:30:04.426 --> 00:30:08.619
Yeah, yeah, that's probably like dehydrating you from the caffeine.

00:30:09.362 --> 00:30:15.501
The sugar's doing you wrong, the smoking's doing you wrong, but you save so much energy from not shaving your armpits.

00:30:15.682 --> 00:30:24.200
Yeah, we're going after the french market shaving your armpits or using deodorant or taking a shower.

00:30:26.223 --> 00:30:32.580
Yeah, coming from a couple times a week is good oh, there was a oh that that actually that's a great segue.

00:30:32.580 --> 00:30:38.932
There's a study, um, it was like showering regularly is not good for you.

00:30:38.932 --> 00:30:46.826
It like decreases like your natural, like body oils for your skin and stuff, yeah, which I totally agree with.

00:30:46.826 --> 00:30:55.313
But the other side of the argument is like did you not take a shower to decrease or increase the body oils in your skin?

00:30:55.313 --> 00:30:58.407
You just try not to smell like shit, yeah.

00:30:59.932 --> 00:31:08.146
Well, that's, that's what I always try to discuss with my wife, because she likes to give the kids, but she does it more for the routine.

00:31:08.146 --> 00:31:16.818
But no, I don't know, does she do it for the routine or she thinks they need to be spotless Because I'm like no just let them get their own oil.

00:31:16.980 --> 00:31:25.211
In this case, just dip them in bleach for like a few seconds, yeah, but like Ashton Kutcher and what's her name?

00:31:25.211 --> 00:31:28.163
Mila.

00:31:28.724 --> 00:31:34.233
Kucic got in trouble because they said they don't bathe their kids until they smell.

00:31:34.759 --> 00:31:48.871
Dude Ashton Kutcher looks like he smells Like I love his work, but he looks like he smells like I love his work, yeah, but he looks like he smells yeah but I like, I think I I personally agree with like not washing until they smell.

00:31:48.871 --> 00:31:49.492
Yeah, either.

00:31:50.474 --> 00:32:04.048
Um, there's, there's really no reason to like no, I ended up with all all like skin issues I still have my teenage years because, yeah, our mom was like you gotta scrub that out, it's like, scrub that out.

00:32:04.128 --> 00:32:10.653
And then like, oh, maybe the flakes are because you're scratching my scalp so hard, and then put all the lotion no, no, add more soap.

00:32:10.755 --> 00:32:16.005
It wasn't lotion, it's video, it's just soap drying everything out.

00:32:16.184 --> 00:32:20.590
Yeah, like no, no, um, hydration or anything like that.

00:32:20.590 --> 00:32:23.816
Yeah, yeah, I actually like it.

00:32:23.816 --> 00:32:28.680
I would I would take a mask if I was ever invited to go meet ashton kutcher.

00:32:28.680 --> 00:32:33.787
It's even his character in the 70s show.

00:32:33.787 --> 00:32:35.489
He definitely smells.

00:32:35.489 --> 00:32:37.932
Yeah, like I love what he does.

00:32:37.932 --> 00:32:44.339
I don't hate that he smells, it's alright it's alright to smell.

00:32:44.339 --> 00:32:47.369
It's easy coming from me, yeah.

00:32:48.986 --> 00:33:04.903
I'm just, but your daughter kind of plays that oh, yeah, she's starting to like showering, just cause she's just like, oh, this feels nice, yeah, but she's just like, oh, this feels nice, yeah, uh, but it's just like, eh, no, I showered yesterday.

00:33:04.903 --> 00:33:07.665
It's like, yeah, but did you?

00:33:08.221 --> 00:33:17.323
I kind of feel bad for my kids because I think our showers, our bath is kind of cold and like oh, I try to get shy.

00:33:17.323 --> 00:33:18.385
Oh, you got.

00:33:18.425 --> 00:33:20.432
Shy doing cold plunges.

00:33:20.432 --> 00:33:25.346
Well, he's pretty much doing cold, three-year-old cold plunges we don't fill the bathtub.

00:33:25.346 --> 00:33:29.569
No, but I just stick them in the freezer for a couple minutes.

00:33:29.650 --> 00:33:34.310
Nothing crazy, but he could come and take a steam shower, but he never wants to.

00:33:34.310 --> 00:33:57.579
He wants to go in the bathtub, but the bathtub, I think, is cold, but they're like in there so, and it's not like pam doesn't like them getting dirty, so it's not like there's warm water in the tub running, they're just, it's just empty oh god so yeah, so I'm like this is like I wouldn't want to take that shower.

00:33:57.700 --> 00:34:00.670
I'm like this is a villain's origin story.

00:34:00.670 --> 00:34:03.209
It's like this guy becomes Mr Glass.

00:34:03.209 --> 00:34:04.525
I know exactly why.

00:34:04.525 --> 00:34:06.445
It's because of his baths.

00:34:06.445 --> 00:34:09.887
Yeah, forced baths before you smell.

00:34:09.887 --> 00:34:16.432
Yeah, I actually kind of like agree with the baths when you smell.

00:34:16.940 --> 00:34:21.652
Well, we grew up in Iran, and in Iran you took showers every other day.

00:34:21.652 --> 00:34:22.764
You didn't do it every day.

00:34:22.864 --> 00:34:23.527
Yeah, right.

00:34:23.800 --> 00:34:25.887
So it wasn't like a daily routine.

00:34:27.141 --> 00:34:28.768
And we were well off too.

00:34:28.768 --> 00:34:42.969
So like, if it's actually a cost restraint not just thinking Iran like place, like India, china if it's a cost restraint to not shower every day, you're going to save that water for something.

00:34:43.188 --> 00:34:43.349
Yeah.

00:34:43.900 --> 00:34:47.507
So I went two years without using soap.

00:34:47.507 --> 00:34:49.672
Did I tell you that no?

00:34:51.942 --> 00:34:53.909
So you were just washing with water, water.

00:34:55.681 --> 00:34:56.967
There's no reason for soap.

00:34:56.967 --> 00:34:57.690
There's nothing natural about soap.

00:34:57.690 --> 00:34:58.239
There's no reason for soap.

00:34:58.239 --> 00:35:01.222
There's nothing natural about soap.

00:35:01.222 --> 00:35:11.289
God in the Old Testament is like thou shalt use Irish springs to smell zesty, fresh, like it's never a thing.

00:35:11.289 --> 00:35:14.353
There's no way soap's like that good for you.

00:35:14.353 --> 00:35:16.494
I don't know, I don't know.

00:35:16.494 --> 00:35:17.956
You're big on microbiomes.

00:35:17.956 --> 00:35:20.940
Microbiomes on your skin is something I don't have.

00:35:20.940 --> 00:35:26.291
Great skin it that experiment didn't go great like it didn't help my skin issues.

00:35:26.592 --> 00:35:36.005
The thing is nowadays you kind of need that antibacterial, like maybe in the early days you didn't, but like now like people carry all this crap.

00:35:36.045 --> 00:35:37.650
That you need to get off your skin.

00:35:37.650 --> 00:35:40.947
I don't know it matters your skin's gonna be able to fight that off.

00:35:40.947 --> 00:35:49.704
If you're, it matters what kind of shady cats you're like, hugging and stuff, Dude we're physicians, so it's a lot different, which is good.

00:35:49.704 --> 00:35:51.327
That gives us like a PowerPoint.

00:35:51.327 --> 00:35:58.889
Like our microbiome on our skin should be able to fight off everything, because we've encountered everything at the hospital.

00:36:00.980 --> 00:36:04.226
Yeah, that's why you need peptides to just like have a strong immune system.

00:36:04.226 --> 00:36:10.125
So no, you don't, you don't let your body rock it out like yeah, it's better than antibiotics.

00:36:10.606 --> 00:36:15.373
like just, I don't know that, yeah, but either way, I I did.

00:36:15.373 --> 00:36:19.083
I hate to say it, but I I did start using soap again.

00:36:19.083 --> 00:36:22.505
Sarah was just like so pissed off.

00:36:22.505 --> 00:36:32.034
Anytime I told people it's like you can't just tell people you don't use soap anymore I was like oh no, I feel really strongly about this, fuck soap.

00:36:32.454 --> 00:36:35.976
Like this is not just like okay.

00:36:38.500 --> 00:36:40.536
I just like you just can't tell people that you would put deodorant on yeah, so that doesn't make people that.

00:36:40.536 --> 00:36:42.445
But you would put deodorant on yeah, so that doesn't make any sense.

00:36:42.699 --> 00:36:43.945
Oh, it was all natural stuff.

00:36:43.945 --> 00:36:46.025
That was kind of useless too.

00:36:46.025 --> 00:36:50.429
It's like Tom's from Maine, tom's from Maine.

00:36:50.429 --> 00:36:53.550
It's like rubbing eucalyptus on my armpits.

00:36:53.550 --> 00:36:56.469
I was actually better at manscaping then.

00:36:56.760 --> 00:36:56.920
Yeah.

00:36:56.940 --> 00:37:22.298
Because, like, if you get rid of of the hair, you get rid of a lot of the smells yeah but there was like two days in a row where I like actually smelled myself like just doing normal stuff, and I was like I'm totally against the industrial soap complex but I'm willing to use soap again so what are your thoughts about?

00:37:22.318 --> 00:37:51.340
you know, like I started trying like the all-natural, like deodorants and stuff there's a good one, but like then going all the way towards like where they have like paper, like packet, like the whole things, like oh, like they smell great, but I just rub a gypsy on my armpit like once a week, yeah like the things smell great, but I'm like I get you have to push the thing up yourself.

00:37:51.340 --> 00:37:52.882
I'm like what are we in the 80s?

00:37:52.882 --> 00:37:57.831
And like I, I know, but it's saving on plastic.

00:37:57.911 --> 00:37:59.253
But dude, there's.

00:37:59.253 --> 00:38:03.038
There's so much stuff out there.

00:38:03.038 --> 00:38:10.195
Even at walgreens, where you don't expect all natural things, there's rows and rows of all natural stuff.

00:38:10.195 --> 00:38:22.297
So for me, because of my skin condition, I I just go for something that my skin really does not react to yeah so that's the route I take.

00:38:22.297 --> 00:38:33.684
Yeah, so I don't even care about the qualities, as long as like covers up scent for like a little bit of time yeah but it does like doesn't flare up my skin.

00:38:33.684 --> 00:38:37.289
That's what I go with I really like the Hume.

00:38:38.411 --> 00:38:40.934
I mean Whole Foods carries it.

00:38:40.934 --> 00:38:48.088
Now I bought it from the Vory clothing shop and then I was like, oh, this smells really good.

00:38:48.088 --> 00:38:49.547
I ordered it online.

00:38:49.586 --> 00:39:00.083
and then I was like, oh, walgreens carries it, I can't believe like I mean, we use it too, the ingredients in antiperspirants.

00:39:00.123 --> 00:39:00.302
Oh yeah.

00:39:00.563 --> 00:39:02.905
We're really suffocating our sweat glands.

00:39:03.365 --> 00:39:03.565
Yeah.

00:39:03.585 --> 00:39:07.590
Like you know what, Sorry guys, yeah, Shut the fuck up.

00:39:07.590 --> 00:39:13.615
I'm going to go around town not sweating Like with what Aluminum parabens.

00:39:18.820 --> 00:39:22.231
I wonder how, like because people talk about increased cancer, like how come we didn't see more people?

00:39:22.251 --> 00:39:27.628
with armpit cancer, but systemically it's got to do something.

00:39:27.628 --> 00:39:29.152
I don't know.

00:39:31.442 --> 00:39:33.027
Does it lead to more breast cancer.

00:39:33.027 --> 00:39:43.202
I get afraid, because I keep on putting my phone on my lap and I'm like oh, I thought, definitely gonna get.

00:39:43.242 --> 00:39:50.284
I thought you were saying about like putting gold bond on your yeah no, balls no yeah, do this.

00:39:50.284 --> 00:39:58.746
I don't know, I'm afraid of my phone, I'm sorry, my balls are smelly as shit like there's nothing chemical going close to there.

00:39:59.929 --> 00:40:17.606
I never powdered my, I don't either, yeah I was like I just never understood it, like like one of my chief residents would walk out and he had like you're just like you're gonna walk out, looking like that, like there's evidence on the outside.

00:40:17.867 --> 00:40:19.469
I know what are you doing?

00:40:19.469 --> 00:40:21.873
Like you got a shit pit in your crotch.

00:40:22.253 --> 00:40:25.728
Yeah, I'm like that's what you do to kids.

00:40:25.728 --> 00:40:27.907
I'm like what the hell are you doing to yourself?

00:40:33.782 --> 00:40:36.969
The stuff people, educated people do.

00:40:36.969 --> 00:40:37.952
Yeah, it's great.

00:40:38.253 --> 00:40:40.704
Yeah, I'll never forget it.

00:40:40.704 --> 00:40:48.086
He always had powder down there, like walking around the hospital with powder it's floating around you.

00:40:49.661 --> 00:40:50.222
What's his name?

00:40:50.222 --> 00:40:52.871
From the peanuts Pigpen.

00:40:52.871 --> 00:40:55.909
It's like dude, you're the pigpen of baby powder.

00:40:55.909 --> 00:40:57.284
Stop that shit.

00:40:57.284 --> 00:41:00.039
We don't need to be inhaling that.

00:41:00.039 --> 00:41:00.494
Replace it with collagen powder.

00:41:00.494 --> 00:41:00.789
Yeah, collagen powder, like.

00:41:00.789 --> 00:41:01.068
Stop that shit.

00:41:01.068 --> 00:41:03.626
Like we don't need to be inhaling that, replace it with collagen powder.

00:41:03.719 --> 00:41:06.565
Yeah, collagen powder, that will topically grow.

00:41:10.340 --> 00:41:12.447
Collagen powder to gold bod, gold bod.

00:41:12.447 --> 00:41:19.391
So I sent you that article about the working out.

00:41:19.391 --> 00:41:24.670
Keep it at least four hours before your bedtime.

00:41:24.670 --> 00:41:27.722
Yeah, what do you think you didn't read?

00:41:27.742 --> 00:41:28.264
the paper.

00:41:28.264 --> 00:41:29.547
No, I did.

00:41:29.547 --> 00:41:31.661
Oh nice, I was actually like.

00:41:31.661 --> 00:41:39.550
I was actually like I'm like right on the edge because I get home and I'm like I got to work out.

00:41:39.791 --> 00:41:40.858
Really, I never work out at home.

00:41:40.858 --> 00:41:41.807
I mean after I get home and I'm like I got to work out.

00:41:41.807 --> 00:41:42.313
Really, I never work out at home.

00:41:42.313 --> 00:41:45.106
I I mean after I get home, I work out in the morning.

00:41:45.188 --> 00:41:50.248
I used to do it in the morning but, like, my son, sleeps in my room and all my workout equipment's there.

00:41:50.248 --> 00:41:56.447
So, um, especially now when I get home, I bought him his own little bench and little bike.

00:41:56.447 --> 00:42:00.980
So when I get home he's usually like hey, daddy, let's go work out, you know.

00:42:00.980 --> 00:42:04.869
Or if he, if I'm home early in the morning, I'll work out in the morning.

00:42:04.869 --> 00:42:09.688
But most of the time it's like, you know, I got to be at the hospital by seven 30.

00:42:09.688 --> 00:42:20.958
So, um, I so I'll get the workout in at nighttime, but I try to do it at like six o'clock and what time do you go to bed?

00:42:21.518 --> 00:42:21.760
10, 9?

00:42:21.900 --> 00:42:23.786
Usually 9, 9, 10 o'clock.

00:42:23.987 --> 00:42:24.248
Okay.

00:42:25.481 --> 00:42:29.304
I haven't found it to affect my sleep when I was younger.

00:42:29.304 --> 00:42:43.289
That's the only time I worked out Like when I was in plastic surgery residency I could, and that's why it made it tough for me when I moved here to get into CrossFit because I used to work out at 9 pm.

00:42:43.289 --> 00:42:45.688
That was my CrossFit class that I used to make.

00:42:45.688 --> 00:42:49.250
In Arizona there's no 9 pm CrossFit classes.

00:42:49.250 --> 00:42:51.679
They were all like ending at 6, 7.

00:42:51.679 --> 00:42:57.492
So it made it tough to work out at that time.

00:42:58.380 --> 00:43:00.827
No, I like working out first thing in the morning.

00:43:00.827 --> 00:43:06.610
I think that's like the ideal situation and that's when I know I'm not going to work out in the afternoon.

00:43:06.610 --> 00:43:18.989
I'll just do the resistance bands and the bike in the morning, or I'll try to get the bike in at least in the morning and then at nighttime just do the you know tonal resistance training.

00:43:18.989 --> 00:43:26.291
I think it does affect because it increases your heart rate and you want to kind of calm all that down before going to bed.

00:43:26.291 --> 00:43:44.235
But my routines, usually you know, when my son goes to bed I lay on the my red light mat for at least half an hour 45 minutes and that thing makes me sweat it out and I think that routine kind of gets me into that deeper sleep phase.

00:43:44.340 --> 00:43:45.748
Well, the red light is almost.

00:43:45.748 --> 00:43:50.409
Uh, wait, the red light or the red light sauna.

00:43:51.621 --> 00:44:07.027
No, I'm on a red light mat that has Nair and Far Infrared lights and then it also has PMF in it and it's a grounding mat, so it has like a six in one, but I don't use the TENS unit on it.

00:44:07.027 --> 00:44:27.563
I did at the beginning for my lower back, but now I don't use it and I think that's made a huge difference and like inflammation, my back pain and everything, and I I think that's something that I'm gonna bring on with like post-op care, like the patients also like 300 bucks a night, I can come by throw some chicken bones out.

00:44:27.603 --> 00:44:29.947
Yeah and yeah, be your shaman.

00:44:29.947 --> 00:44:33.795
Yeah, be your witch doctor, you can eat chicken bones.

00:44:34.460 --> 00:44:42.273
The sleep you get after that, you can eat the chicken bones, oh yeah, for the collagen, yeah, yeah, so.

00:44:44.724 --> 00:44:52.014
So the study showed that exercise greater than four hours from sleep time.

00:44:52.014 --> 00:44:53.585
Less than four hours from sleep, no more than four hours from sleep time.

00:44:53.585 --> 00:44:59.050
Less than four hours from sleep, no more than four hours, oh, less than four hours reduce sleep quality.

00:44:59.179 --> 00:45:00.159
Yeah, sleep quality.

00:45:00.581 --> 00:45:05.331
And this by the wearables that brand you're wearing right now.

00:45:05.331 --> 00:45:22.320
Yeah, which is awesome to see, because the coolest part about this I know I'm nerding out on data I was just like, oh man, they started starting off with 1.3 million subjects yeah like that, that is cool.

00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:34.213
Like that, like amount of data, like you can't like and I'm like very hopeful for, like what these wearable datas are yeah what these wearable data is going to show in the long run.

00:45:34.213 --> 00:45:37.068
But, like I was just like oh, that's awesome to start with.

00:45:37.440 --> 00:45:39.748
They just got to get better batteries for your phone.

00:45:39.748 --> 00:45:44.751
With all the hookups I got to Bluetooth to my phone, it runs out.

00:45:44.751 --> 00:45:47.239
I got to charge it fully like three times a day.

00:45:47.239 --> 00:45:48.884
You got to just plug your head in like the.

00:45:48.925 --> 00:45:51.532
Matrix once a night, You'll be fine.

00:45:51.532 --> 00:45:59.273
Plug your head in like the matrix once a night, you'll be fine, yeah, but but um, the the things that I saw, there wasn't that much of a difference between four to eight hours.

00:45:59.393 --> 00:45:59.574
Yeah.

00:46:00.400 --> 00:46:04.226
And it also went by intensity of workout.

00:46:04.226 --> 00:46:12.427
Where I think intensity of workout went by, I'm pretty sure it went by heart rate.

00:46:12.427 --> 00:46:35.193
So like, if your heart rate hits 180, yeah, even if you're working out just as hard as somebody, that's really fit that their heart rate went up to 120 yeah your workout is going out as way more intense yeah and that kind of shows because, like those graphs, they showed the ones hitting max intensity, no matter which time length it was.

00:46:35.856 --> 00:46:54.021
it might not be statistically different but, like, if you look at the charts, it's like max intensity is always worse than medium intensity versus low intensity and I think that plays a stronger part where, like, if you work out regularly, it doesn't matter what time you work out.

00:46:54.021 --> 00:47:07.994
Yeah, I probably wouldn't work out within two hours of going to sleep yeah but like, yeah, four hours seems ideal at the most, but um, but that was, that was my takeaway.

00:47:08.253 --> 00:47:19.853
I don't know what you thought about that just like you know there's more and more studies and like a lot of things like where you don't need to be at these high intensity levels.

00:47:19.853 --> 00:47:26.652
You know it's not good for your overall health as long as, and like more and more things are shown to be.

00:47:26.652 --> 00:47:40.396
Like you know, if you're not active and moving all day long and being sedentary, you need these high activities to try to make up for being inactive for the rest of the day.

00:47:40.396 --> 00:47:46.152
But I think overall you just need low source of activity.

00:47:46.172 --> 00:47:46.793
Just regular.

00:47:46.793 --> 00:47:52.740
There were studies before that showed that low-intensity exercise what's it?

00:47:52.740 --> 00:47:54.007
Zone B or?

00:47:54.067 --> 00:47:57.809
Yeah, low intensity just correlates more with compliance.

00:47:57.891 --> 00:48:18.851
Yeah, so like, if you go and like just run your ass off and you hit like zone five or six or whatever the hell it is like max heart rate, the likelihood you're going to return to do that exercise again the next day, the day after, the day after, is lower and lower.

00:48:18.851 --> 00:48:43.644
Where, like just get your heart pumping and do it regularly, like do it once a day, not like, even if it's 10 minutes, 20 minutes, and then potentially like just just go from 10 minutes to 20 minutes, whether it's a bike ride, on a treadmill, even if it's walking, and then at that 20 minute mark it's just trying to come up with it's.

00:48:43.784 --> 00:48:52.833
It's not gonna you're not gonna be mr olympia doing this yeah but like you build up to 20 minutes and then do intervals yeah at that 20 minutes.

00:48:52.833 --> 00:48:57.989
So like warm up for three to five minutes and then one minute go really hard.

00:48:57.989 --> 00:49:02.449
One minute cool down, one minute hard and then you reduce that interval.

00:49:02.449 --> 00:49:02.771
Time.

00:49:02.771 --> 00:49:19.425
Yeah, I think that would be a really reasonable way for people to get like in really good, like, uh, cardiac fitness yeah, your vo2 max increase yeah, yeah, yeah exactly yeah, that's you know.

00:49:19.465 --> 00:49:34.561
Like even I use the carol bike, which you know, you do two 20 second sprints um in eight minutes, and you do that two or three times a week and that's better than running every day, uh for an hour, yeah, you know.

00:49:34.561 --> 00:49:44.864
So you know you're just pushing uh to a certain level only for you know, and that just builds up your resistance and goes down.

00:49:44.864 --> 00:49:57.864
That's ai generated yeah um, I I think you know there's different complexities and, like different people's bodies respond differently to different stressors Is HRV higher.

00:49:57.925 --> 00:50:00.445
for females it's heart rate variance.

00:50:02.523 --> 00:50:04.510
I think, I don't know.

00:50:04.510 --> 00:50:07.469
I thought it would be lower because they're higher stress.

00:50:07.469 --> 00:50:10.806
So it's supposed to be higher, it's going to be better for you.

00:50:10.806 --> 00:50:11.108
I'm not.

00:50:11.240 --> 00:50:12.471
What's a typical HRV for you?00:50:12.471 --> 00:50:12.672


I'm not.00:50:12.672 --> 00:50:14.541


What's a typical hrv for you for me?00:50:14.541 --> 00:50:16.925


Sleep, yeah uh, horrible.00:50:17.565 --> 00:50:24.800


20 it's no, it it's improved like 30, 45, because oh really, that's really good.00:50:24.800 --> 00:50:50.349


Before the mine's like 16 to 20 before the eight sleep I was like I was like 15 to 20 um, and that's with my whoop, uh, but like well, that study we were talking about was from my aura ring actually, but that previous study we were talking about was from with the whoop yeah, um, but it improved like I thought.00:50:50.951 --> 00:51:07.572


Know, last week I tried to set the temperatures colder because I saw, like you know, the first week I got it and I had it on colder settings, like my heart rate was like in the 60s and my HRVs were going 60s, 70s, nice.00:51:07.572 --> 00:51:23.235


But now it's like it's not that, it's like 65 to 70, which it's still lower than what it used to be, Like, my resting was always 70 and above, but I don't know if that's more me working out more or more consistently.00:51:23.295 --> 00:51:24.739


Either way, it's a good goal to have.00:51:25.420 --> 00:51:38.726


Well, I'm doing the tonal workouts versus my 20-minute bursts of workouts I was doing before my 20 minute bursts of workouts, I was doing before.00:51:38.726 --> 00:51:40.672


Um, whether it's that, um, or what if it's the eight?00:51:40.711 --> 00:51:41.835


sleep that, but like my hrv is definitely improved.00:51:41.835 --> 00:51:47.030


Um okay, since mine kind of sucks, I'm just trying to compare it to like what sarah gets, because what does she?00:51:47.072 --> 00:51:51.909


get dude she's because you're supposed to be at 80 to 120.00:51:51.909 --> 00:51:54.159


Really, yeah, yeah, that's gonna be healthy.00:51:54.219 --> 00:51:59.351


Okay, that makes sense, yeah because I'm my resting heart rate's in the 70s.00:51:59.351 --> 00:52:01.501


I'm lucky to get in the 60s some nights.00:52:01.501 --> 00:52:09.902


Yeah, my hrv is like 20 yeah and one morning I got up I was like, wow, look at this good night of rest.00:52:09.902 --> 00:52:13.231


Yeah, it's like resting heart rate like 55.00:52:13.231 --> 00:52:15.327


Hrv is like 70.00:52:15.327 --> 00:52:20.170


And Sarah's complaining to me about how bad her sleep was.00:52:20.170 --> 00:52:31.733


I was accidentally under her side of the bed for the data, so I'm like no, mine's actually resting heart rate of 75, hrv of 20.00:52:31.920 --> 00:52:33.286


I'm not at like resting heart rate of 75, HRV of 20.00:52:33.286 --> 00:52:35.155


I'm not at like resting heart rate of 55.00:52:36.663 --> 00:52:44.271


Yeah, I thought the females would have higher HRVs I'm not sure or lower HRVs, but I'm not definite.00:52:44.619 --> 00:52:48.148


Okay, no, I was just asking Pam's heart rate's like in the 50s too.00:52:49.342 --> 00:52:52.271


Yeah, the female heart rate's like I don't know.00:52:52.271 --> 00:52:55.302


Well, Pam's younger than me, so I it's said.00:52:55.302 --> 00:52:57.045


That's what it was I got a theory.00:52:57.085 --> 00:53:29.246


When it's, when it's, the blood is that cold, it doesn't need to be pumped as fast but it's also like you got to think muscle mass right, like lower muscle mass I I sarah probably has about similar muscle mass as me just well, you gotta put her on the in body and see who has more skeletal muscle mass I actually probably have more than her, but I weigh like 40 pounds more yeah so yeah, odds are.00:53:29.407 --> 00:53:31.228


I've stacked the odds against you.00:53:31.909 --> 00:53:35.251


All right, all right.00:53:35.251 --> 00:53:37.434


We got to just get you on testosterone.00:53:37.474 --> 00:53:37.853


Yeah, yeah.00:53:38.134 --> 00:53:39.235


You'll get better sleep.00:53:39.235 --> 00:53:40.775


Your HRV will improve.00:53:41.257 --> 00:53:43.820


Oh, we're going to do it Build more muscle.00:53:43.820 --> 00:53:44.882


Going to test out the T.00:53:44.882 --> 00:53:49.746


Going to test out the testamoylin growth hormone-releasing peptides.00:53:49.746 --> 00:53:51.186


Going to test out GLP-1s?00:53:51.186 --> 00:53:56.992


Yeah, and I got before pictures, so the after picture is going to come.00:53:56.992 --> 00:54:03.701


Seriously, there's a huge difference compared to like, because I started this in January, yeah, when it was.00:54:03.701 --> 00:54:13.309


Just I haven't been phenomenal with my diet, but I've, like, definitely improved my diet big time, but I've exercised regularly.00:54:13.309 --> 00:54:16.429


Yeah, and that's like three to five times a week.00:54:16.719 --> 00:54:19.628


Exercise in itself definitely changes the skin tone Like.00:54:20.329 --> 00:54:21.052


I think oh yeah.00:54:21.940 --> 00:54:28.251


Younger, more or less, and all that Like I feel like it's definitely made an improvement.00:54:28.940 --> 00:54:29.541


I think so.00:54:29.541 --> 00:54:30.264


It's it.00:54:30.264 --> 00:54:35.918


It's definitely improves blood flow and lymphatic flow.00:54:35.918 --> 00:54:38.344


Yeah, through your subcutaneous tissue in your skin.00:54:38.364 --> 00:55:04.186


Yeah, the more you move it's you know what's an impressive peptide that um doesn't get talked about much, but um pam just started taking it um because we're thinking of going through ivf again and it's you know, she's just trying oh yeah, you can't wait for that about some of the stuff I talk about, but like epithelon, she started taking epithelon.00:55:04.206 --> 00:55:08.360


She actually like she's like she had such great sleep deep.00:55:08.360 --> 00:55:15.021


She's like I've never slept like this in my life, um, that she's like she injected her mom two nights later.00:55:15.021 --> 00:55:20.202


She's like you got to do this because her mom's got a lot of anxiety and she doesn't want to go to sleep.00:55:20.202 --> 00:55:32.527


So epithalon is a pineal gland peptide, um, and it's known to like regulate your circadian rhythm and like your hormonal balances and stuff.00:55:32.527 --> 00:55:37.063


So, um, yeah, she's been nicer to me, gets better sleep.00:55:37.164 --> 00:55:45.744


So I think, overall, other than our um 15 month old crying in the middle of the night I think, um, yeah, I.00:55:45.864 --> 00:56:28.317


I think it's definitely a good like stabilizer and, on top of it, like the russian studies on this stuff is crazy because they did studies 10 days of injections twice a year for two years and decreased mortality rate by 20 because it increases your telomerase length and it's great anti-aging and a lot of it has to do with regulating your circadian rhythm, where you're re-releasing the melatonin to go to sleep and stay asleep yeah, so that, yeah, the like comes back to like how strong like sleep is for, like your, your longevity.00:56:28.556 --> 00:56:34.811


Yeah, like you you know, before, like this whole like biohacking thing and stuff took.00:56:34.811 --> 00:56:39.528


I remember like listen to dave asprey and he's like I'll sleep when I die.00:56:39.528 --> 00:56:48.465


And he used to say, like you only need three, when, when he was selling the bulletproof coffee, he's like you only need three to five hours of sleep, you don't need more than that.00:56:48.465 --> 00:56:49.869


And now it's a total.00:56:49.869 --> 00:56:55.423


Like everyone talks about sleep and how important and you're supposed to get seven to nine hours of sleep.00:56:55.423 --> 00:57:01.365


I don't get anywhere close to nine, but like I usually range between six and seven.00:57:01.505 --> 00:57:02.989


Yeah, try to get seven, that's.00:57:02.989 --> 00:57:04.802


That's always the like.00:57:04.802 --> 00:57:06.186


Get to bed by 9 30.00:57:07.228 --> 00:57:13.865


Wake up by 5 30 I could usually go to bed by eight, but like then, I usually wake up in the middle of the night and I can't get back to sleep.00:57:13.865 --> 00:57:20.568


That's the it's not even the middle of the night sometimes I wake up at like at 10 11 o'clock at night yeah or 1 am.00:57:20.788 --> 00:57:23.981


1 am is the worst time to get up and not be able to fall asleep.00:57:24.021 --> 00:57:48.083


Yeah, just like um, at the beginning, with the eight sleep, like I'm like I gotta get it back to those settings because like I was sleeping past seven and I'm like I didn't know how I was sleeping, because right now I wake up at five o'clock every like five, five thirties, like my body clock just wakes me up no matter what yeah, same here.00:57:48.244 --> 00:57:50.186


I wake up before my 5.30 alarm.00:57:50.246 --> 00:58:04.074


Yeah, maybe I should move the clock back up to 9.30, the alarm clock on there Just don't be afraid to heat it back up by one, and just see how your body responds to it.00:58:04.074 --> 00:58:10.432


Yeah, no, I heated it back up and I creeped up on the temps to kind of see how much.00:58:10.880 --> 00:58:18.909


But like Arizona, weather's been nuts too yeah, it's like just been cold one night hot one night we went through like a hot spree.00:58:18.909 --> 00:58:21.681


Sarah's like oh no, it's going to be hot for the rest of the year.00:58:21.722 --> 00:58:31.429


I'm like yeah chances probably not, but if it does happen, I'm like when we hit may that's likely, but in april it's still questionable.00:58:31.648 --> 00:58:35.195


Oh yeah, March, when it's like 80s, 90s degrees.00:58:35.195 --> 00:58:37.668


That's when she was starting to flip out.00:58:37.668 --> 00:58:39.505


Like this is too hot.00:58:39.505 --> 00:58:43.485


Yeah, Better than too cold.00:58:43.760 --> 00:58:44.782


Yeah, all right.00:58:44.782 --> 00:58:46.730


All right, that's it.00:58:46.980 --> 00:58:47.621


That's a wrap.00:58:47.621 --> 00:58:51.806


Music.
