WEBVTT

00:00:00.780 --> 00:00:06.592
Today's guests are Kurt and Deanna Mangum II, the husband and wife team behind Cupply Fit.

00:00:06.592 --> 00:00:17.047
Based in Phoenix, they're on a mission to create generational health by helping couples thrive mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.

00:00:17.047 --> 00:00:36.085
Kurt is head of business development at the ISA, Deanna is a full-time nutrition and wellness consultant and together they've built the SWAN approach sleep, water, activity, nutrition proving that true transformation is a whole person journey.

00:00:36.085 --> 00:00:38.470
Please welcome Kurt and Deanna Mangum II.

00:00:41.621 --> 00:00:42.984
So what are you guys doing?

00:00:42.984 --> 00:00:43.665
Active in?

00:00:44.808 --> 00:00:45.530
Health and wellness.

00:00:45.530 --> 00:00:47.545
Yeah, Obviously, it's definitely a big one.

00:00:47.545 --> 00:00:55.100
So, you know, right after we got married in 2016, we co-founded together Coupley Fit, which is a health wellness lifestyle.

00:00:55.100 --> 00:01:10.233
We have a couple of different elements of what we do from the business side, but it's all about generational health, yeah, and we created an ethos called SWAN Sleep, Water, Activity, Nutrition which is our framework around making one SWAN change and it's all about the generational for couples in particular.

00:01:10.233 --> 00:01:12.195
So that's just a little bit.

00:01:12.195 --> 00:01:15.290
Yeah, no, I mean, you hit it on the head.

00:01:15.290 --> 00:01:15.959
Who brought up the idea first?

00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:21.209
Interesting enough, it wasn't Cupply Fit, it was going to be like Pretty Fit and it was going to be her business.

00:01:21.209 --> 00:01:26.623
Yes, I was going to be focusing on women.

00:01:26.623 --> 00:01:27.484
She's going to be focused on women.

00:01:27.484 --> 00:01:29.088
Now, as I say that, it sounds like I kind of like took over the plan.

00:01:29.129 --> 00:01:30.171
No, but it wasn't like that.

00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:32.147
It was super authentic it was.

00:01:32.219 --> 00:01:38.864
It was very organic the way that it happened, also because when Kurt was playing football I was meal prepping for him.

00:01:38.864 --> 00:01:44.251
I was, you know, weighing out his food and making sure that he's getting all of his protein carbohydrates to stay fueled.

00:01:44.251 --> 00:01:55.230
But then we're working out together and so we were documenting, kind of our journey on social media and then people just started reaching out like hey, are you guys going to be doing any boot camps or meal plans or any of these?

00:01:55.260 --> 00:01:57.081
And we were like no, we have no plans to do that.

00:01:57.081 --> 00:01:58.462
No, we're working out.

00:01:58.882 --> 00:01:59.664
We're just working out.

00:01:59.664 --> 00:02:00.545
So Kurt's family.

00:02:00.564 --> 00:02:02.527
You're just shit posting over here.

00:02:02.626 --> 00:02:03.328
Yeah, that's it.

00:02:03.328 --> 00:02:05.549
So Kurt's family.

00:02:05.549 --> 00:02:22.889
They have a cafe in Phoenix Sky Harbor, so it's the Refuge now, but at the time it was Press Coffee, food and Wine, and so he was working in his family business while he's waiting for some calls to come through for football.

00:02:22.889 --> 00:02:25.217
And then employees started reaching out like can you, maybe, you maybe like create me a meal plan or something.

00:02:25.236 --> 00:02:26.020
Yeah, and we were like sure.

00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:28.527
So, you know that Starbucks that's in the baggage claim.

00:02:28.527 --> 00:02:30.706
Yeah, that's literally where we had our first client.

00:02:30.766 --> 00:02:34.364
Oh wow, first consultation ever, first consultation and our first client.

00:02:34.383 --> 00:02:47.594
She lost 80 pounds in one year, and so what we noticed, though, is that she had this amazing transformation, but then she had two sons, and then her sons were seeing the transformation that she was having, and they were holding her accountable.

00:02:47.594 --> 00:02:49.543
Hey mom, we're supposed to be hiking Camelback.

00:02:49.543 --> 00:02:50.986
Hey mom, we're supposed to be going to the park.

00:02:50.986 --> 00:02:53.099
Hey mom, what's avocado Like?

00:02:53.099 --> 00:02:54.242
I see you eating that.

00:02:54.242 --> 00:02:54.965
I want to try it.

00:02:54.965 --> 00:03:01.409
So then we started saying oh, this is bigger than what we originally anticipated, which was just to help people lose weight.

00:03:01.590 --> 00:03:08.169
And it ended up being a generational thing where we said, wow, if we can impact couples or parents, we're going to see that this trickles down to the kids.

00:03:08.169 --> 00:03:13.473
And now we say, rather than passing down the material items, let's pass down those healthy habits, right?

00:03:13.473 --> 00:03:19.301
Like let's generational health, because people always think of generational wealth but, I, can't spend my wealth if I don't have my health.

00:03:19.481 --> 00:03:22.104
So yeah, and and to that, and to that exact point.

00:03:22.104 --> 00:03:30.694
It was kind of crazy just how full circle things started to become, because at the time again, it wasn't like launch this business, it was just like we're helping.

00:03:30.715 --> 00:03:31.134
It was organic.

00:03:31.134 --> 00:03:31.836
It was organic.

00:03:31.836 --> 00:03:32.235
How do we?

00:03:32.295 --> 00:03:32.456
help.

00:03:32.456 --> 00:03:37.063
And one thing that we knew from a I was doing marketing for the business at the time All of the social media.

00:03:37.063 --> 00:03:38.710
We're getting some awards by the airport.

00:03:38.710 --> 00:03:41.884
We used to have all of the I mean you name it.

00:03:41.884 --> 00:03:47.837
When it comes to celebrities, you have to come through from Michael Phelps to Sage Steele because, again, it's airport right.

00:03:47.858 --> 00:03:52.100
Yeah, you know, you're kind of not trapped and there's a lot of people in this area too, I mean.

00:03:52.121 --> 00:03:55.899
Phoenix is the number five, you know largest city and one of the busiest airports.

00:03:55.899 --> 00:04:07.915
So you're talking about thousands of people a day that you would see, and so not only do we had the injury, but social media and we're posting and you know people are getting excited about this, and so when we launched our business, we were constantly creating content.

00:04:07.936 --> 00:04:36.653
So from drone footage to like we're out at a bootcamp at the park and it's free at Kiwanis Park and to be, but we got a drone out there and like balloons and it's, it's, it's an activate views, it was a different view and an activation, and so that was one of the really unique competitive advantages because over the years, yes, we had the health and wellness, but we amassed over 50 million views on social media, nice, from all different channels of us posting content, sharing experiences of like us living the healthy lifestyle and just going through our journey.

00:04:36.653 --> 00:04:52.798
So that was a big part of like us not just growing the business and having opportunities and working with brands like Walmart and different hotels and Omni and different things in that sense, but then it also opened us up to be able to like collaborate with other small businesses and support there as well, Cause people are like how are you guys doing the storytelling?

00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:56.471
How are you guys getting the cover of Scottsdale magazine and all of this stuff.

00:04:56.471 --> 00:04:57.699
We're having a hard time doing that.

00:04:57.699 --> 00:05:02.464
This will be a weird question, but if she's slacking, how do you tell her she's slacking?

00:05:02.464 --> 00:05:03.065
How?

00:05:03.086 --> 00:05:03.966
do you tell?

00:05:04.067 --> 00:05:06.610
her she's slacking Because I like that, she's like, she's like that.

00:05:06.610 --> 00:05:07.031
Never happens.

00:05:07.031 --> 00:05:07.533
No, no, no, no.

00:05:07.533 --> 00:05:09.274
We do, we do, no, we always he's slacking.

00:05:09.274 --> 00:05:12.689
That's usually Because Accountability yeah.

00:05:13.201 --> 00:05:16.406
Like my wife will be, like yeah, you're fat, you know.

00:05:16.406 --> 00:05:19.634
And like I'll get up and get get working out.

00:05:19.634 --> 00:05:22.064
But like I'm, not fat, I just jiggle a little bit.

00:05:22.124 --> 00:05:23.185
Right, no, but like, but.

00:05:23.185 --> 00:05:24.528
So I think it is a.

00:05:24.528 --> 00:05:27.954
There's the one, it's having the tough conversations.

00:05:28.375 --> 00:05:28.555
Yeah.

00:05:28.781 --> 00:05:30.105
Because we were just talking about this earlier.

00:05:30.105 --> 00:05:32.086
We were, you know, like one of the things.

00:05:32.086 --> 00:05:39.665
She would tell me that it was like what's something that annoyed me when we first got together but I appreciate now was she used to tell me to slow down when I was eating.

00:05:39.665 --> 00:05:43.531
Yeah, why don't you tell me to slow down for?

00:05:43.552 --> 00:05:43.752
a minute.

00:05:43.752 --> 00:05:43.973
Who do?

00:05:43.992 --> 00:05:44.935
you think you're talking to.

00:05:44.935 --> 00:05:45.478
I'm a grown man.

00:05:45.478 --> 00:05:51.788
I'm like I'm a grown man, I'm telling the structure here and I'm just like Food is gone.

00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:52.803
I'm like, hey, where's the refill?

00:05:52.803 --> 00:05:53.867
She's like on the drink.

00:05:53.867 --> 00:05:56.024
I'm like on dinner, I need another plate.

00:05:58.081 --> 00:05:58.302
She's like.

00:05:58.302 --> 00:06:11.624
Once this video is posted, I'm cue like the AI VO threes to show you like major pain, like eight rib eyes in less than 30 seconds, like woofing it down.

00:06:11.624 --> 00:06:12.646
Imagine this guy.

00:06:13.208 --> 00:06:14.190
No, super, so like.

00:06:14.190 --> 00:06:23.822
But the approach I had to one realize like, okay, she hit a nerve for me, but a part of it, like when I was, before I became an all American linebacker, I struggled with being overweight, like as a kid.

00:06:24.202 --> 00:06:24.403
So, like.

00:06:24.423 --> 00:06:25.745
That was a nerve for me, of like.

00:06:25.745 --> 00:06:30.690
Buddha Buddha poking me in the belly and like you know things like that, so you know.

00:06:30.690 --> 00:06:35.196
So the word like fat would be a trigger, but to your point, working together.

00:06:35.196 --> 00:06:44.386
It's like how can you receive the information and knowing each other well enough to, and then it can be phrased around like how can I support you?

00:06:44.386 --> 00:06:46.249
Yes, like hey, I'm getting some extra cardio in tomorrow.

00:06:46.249 --> 00:06:47.872
Wink, wink, you want to join me?

00:06:47.971 --> 00:06:54.682
yeah I'm not saying you need to, you need to hit the treadmill, but like, if you want to walk with me, we're both going to be doing 60 minutes tomorrow.

00:06:55.002 --> 00:06:57.408
Yeah, just having that support is huge.

00:06:57.408 --> 00:07:00.257
Like they eventually shot.

00:07:00.257 --> 00:07:09.764
It is not edited or released, but like I want to do a whole like anatomy and physiology, just like, so kids learn how their body works.

00:07:09.764 --> 00:07:32.259
Yes, just because I, I think as long as they know and they have it for free on youtube, yeah, then, like if they're getting fed garbage, they'll at least say something oh, yeah, and then it's almost like that, whether it's your wife, husband, kid, like having that community sense of like just being better for yourself.

00:07:32.620 --> 00:07:51.937
I think that again, like you said, the accountability, like if you have a five-year-old kid telling you you might not want to eat that garbage, that's for sure, that kid's probably going to get smacked, but there's a chance, it's so true Like eventually you do that enough, it's going to have a profound change.

00:07:51.937 --> 00:07:54.288
Yes, and just promote healthy living.

00:07:54.288 --> 00:07:59.170
And it's always better having somebody with you doing that.

00:07:59.170 --> 00:07:59.913
Go ahead.

00:08:00.281 --> 00:08:00.862
Well, it's interesting.

00:08:00.862 --> 00:08:13.483
You say that because we do a lot of work with at-risk youth and we Well it's interesting you say that because we do a lot of work with at-risk youth and we do a lot of speaking engagements too, just talking to them about health and wellness and we talk to them about SWAN.

00:08:13.483 --> 00:08:16.839
But it's interesting every time we get to the end and we talk about nutrition, we just ask them like, hey, what do you guys think are nutritious items?

00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:20.451
These kids are coming broccoli, cauliflower, they know.

00:08:20.471 --> 00:08:26.300
They know and that's the thing is you'd be so surprised Kids know.

00:08:26.300 --> 00:08:29.617
And that's the thing is you'd be so surprised kids know it's just, unfortunately, because their parents are the ones that are not necessarily eating healthy or right?

00:08:29.617 --> 00:08:30.218
You're buying the food.

00:08:30.218 --> 00:08:31.805
You're the one that's cooking the food.

00:08:31.805 --> 00:08:33.433
It's like I don't really have a say, right?

00:08:33.453 --> 00:08:41.663
now I just pick the marshmallows out of my lucky charms that's the best part I used to sit at the table all night just because I wouldn't finish my vegetables.

00:08:42.004 --> 00:08:45.389
I'm good, not interested, so you got you Midwest.

00:08:45.389 --> 00:08:48.616
You know you sit here at the table until you finish your plate right, like we're not wasting.

00:08:48.917 --> 00:08:50.440
Dude, Michigan Hospital, 930.

00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:55.893
They served whole, fried like chicken quarters.

00:08:55.893 --> 00:09:02.451
We're not even talking about chicken wings Breaded whole fried chicken quarters in the hospital for breakfast.

00:09:02.942 --> 00:09:03.765
He's in New Orleans.

00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:07.865
No, this is in michigan, michigan, michigan this is the pontiac the pool.

00:09:07.865 --> 00:09:13.164
So I played little league football basketball in pontiac like I silver dome.

00:09:13.164 --> 00:09:15.294
I remember playing the silver dome when it was still around.

00:09:15.294 --> 00:09:16.058
Did I hate it?

00:09:16.099 --> 00:09:33.429
watching the silver dome when I was there, because it was like weeds growing and it's like dilapidated yeah, I'm like barry sanders freaking had some of the greatest years in I used to see barry sanders all the time, so fun fact we mentioned patriots and jonas.

00:09:33.629 --> 00:09:35.943
They gave jonas the key to the city of pontiac.

00:09:35.943 --> 00:09:36.847
Yeah, I believe.

00:09:36.847 --> 00:09:46.505
And really there when he was there when, I believe, they demolished, they also did the demolishing of the yeah, so just kind of crazy that is kind of nuts and most people don't know pontiac, like people, yeah, oh, detroit do they know?

00:09:46.505 --> 00:09:49.562
Yeah, like yeah, you've been in michigan, you've been around michigan I lived.

00:09:49.562 --> 00:09:59.826
I lived in troy oh yeah, exit 69, big beaver road come on route 75 come on behind somerset mall portions are husky out there too.

00:09:59.886 --> 00:10:05.207
Yeah, oh yeah, oh, my god, the fun, so I'd spent time also in like lou Louisiana too.

00:10:05.207 --> 00:10:14.350
So it's like in hindsight I'm like I don't know if it was because it was that many years prior to it, but like I don't know if it was unhealthier.

00:10:14.350 --> 00:10:19.871
But, like New Orleans, I couldn't get weight off because, like dude, find a salad in New Orleans.

00:10:19.912 --> 00:10:21.041
Beignets, yeah, oh yeah, your dog's out.

00:10:21.041 --> 00:10:24.408
I mean, if you think about it, though, beignets are like oh, you want beignets with your breakfast Dude.

00:10:24.427 --> 00:10:26.832
The healthiest thing is gumbo and jambalaya.

00:10:27.421 --> 00:10:28.706
I'll take another piece, another scoop.

00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:31.585
It's like why am I not going to?

00:10:31.585 --> 00:10:32.106
You know what?

00:10:32.106 --> 00:10:35.289
I'm only going to be in New Orleans for like three more years, two more years.

00:10:35.289 --> 00:10:48.735
One day I was just like okay, I was upset with myself because I was like rushing down the hospital corridor to get to like a trauma and I felt myself jiggle and I'm like, oh, that's gross.

00:10:48.735 --> 00:10:58.292
And like when you feel parts of your body hitting other parts of the body, out of just your mind, you're like what is going on.

00:10:58.773 --> 00:11:01.764
And I was at like 210 and I'm like you know what?

00:11:01.764 --> 00:11:03.268
I'm gonna to 190.

00:11:03.268 --> 00:11:11.826
I said it to some of the nurses that were working in the ICU that day and then I run into them like two months later they're like oh, how's that going?

00:11:11.826 --> 00:11:14.557
I'm like I'm up to 220.

00:11:15.682 --> 00:11:17.509
I just had gumbo and BA's for lunch.

00:11:17.509 --> 00:11:19.332
I was up to 220.

00:11:19.500 --> 00:11:22.240
I was like, oh, that's not good Like I'm bulking right now.

00:11:22.260 --> 00:11:24.625
I oh, that's not good Like I'm bulking right now, I'm going to do the cut.

00:11:24.644 --> 00:11:27.750
Yeah, bulking face, I'm just hoping for no more trauma calls.

00:11:27.750 --> 00:11:30.514
If I don't walk fast enough, I don't jiggle, I don't jiggle.

00:11:30.573 --> 00:11:31.355
It's like let me slow down.

00:11:31.355 --> 00:11:34.429
Or you throw the tank top on underneath the uniform.

00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:39.784
The trauma calls were like it's the worst, because you're there overnight for so many hours.

00:11:39.784 --> 00:11:43.308
You're like, oh, I can eat ice cream and you just pile it on.

00:11:43.308 --> 00:11:45.270
You eat like crap and you're limited.

00:11:45.471 --> 00:11:50.456
I would still do it right now, like when I eat, like you're saying, like she was telling you to slow down.

00:11:50.456 --> 00:11:53.883
When I eat.

00:11:53.903 --> 00:11:54.551
I eat as fast as possible.

00:11:54.572 --> 00:12:19.471
You have to, though I feel like there was one time I was in the ER trauma for surgery and I hate laughing about this story because there's a death involved but the way it played out at seven o'clock in Boston they would have a residence dinner at the cafeteria, so pretty much serving us all the leftovers.

00:12:19.471 --> 00:12:21.586
And I make a bet.

00:12:21.586 --> 00:12:26.309
I'm like I'm pretty sure I can eat a whole pizza.

00:12:26.309 --> 00:12:35.947
I can eat a whole pizza in less than 30 minutes and so I take that bet.

00:12:35.947 --> 00:12:37.802
We're placing bets.

00:12:39.145 --> 00:12:40.028
Is it a large?

00:12:40.028 --> 00:12:41.691
Yeah, it's a belly bomb.

00:12:41.711 --> 00:12:49.865
It's legit this big, but I was like somewhere between three to five slices in and I was on the ER.

00:12:49.865 --> 00:12:52.028
My senior resident was in the ER.

00:12:52.028 --> 00:13:01.510
No, I was going strong, but I just had like three to five slices in and they're just like trauma bae, whatever.

00:13:01.510 --> 00:13:07.639
So us two go run there and I have to just pump the lady's chest, Draw a code.

00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:13.828
And he runs the code like okay, somebody grab this medicine, whatever.

00:13:13.828 --> 00:13:15.547
And there's only like three of us there.

00:13:15.841 --> 00:13:18.068
It's this lady and two of her family members.

00:13:18.068 --> 00:13:32.311
She had dissected aortic aneurysm, so like your main artery that comes out of your heart, like it can balloon up in some people, um, and it can explode.

00:13:32.311 --> 00:13:36.741
So then it's just like your heart is just pumping blood in your belly.

00:13:36.741 --> 00:13:44.485
So I was just like this is definitely what this lady has, and usually you run codes for like a while before you call it.

00:13:44.485 --> 00:13:51.855
How am I just pumping this lady's chest and cpr at that time is like two minutes before you turn over.

00:13:51.855 --> 00:13:53.421
I'm just looking at him.

00:13:53.421 --> 00:13:54.283
I'm like yo man.

00:13:54.283 --> 00:13:56.350
I was like call the code.

00:13:56.350 --> 00:13:58.298
He's like it's only 30 seconds.

00:13:58.298 --> 00:13:58.679
What do you mean?

00:13:58.679 --> 00:13:59.381
Call the code?

00:13:59.442 --> 00:14:01.107
I'm like are you gonna throw a?

00:14:01.128 --> 00:14:02.893
fucking, fucking cold code.

00:14:02.893 --> 00:14:06.543
He's like no, we gotta run it for a while, there's gonna be backup coming.

00:14:06.543 --> 00:14:07.628
Just just keep going.

00:14:07.628 --> 00:14:13.827
And backup didn't get there.

00:14:13.827 --> 00:14:33.484
Like we, we did like run the code as long as we could, but like she just had no like vital signs and afterwards he was really supportive, like he's always looked out for me uh, more than like anybody actually during that residency period, but like he was just like what's, what's wrong with you?

00:14:33.484 --> 00:14:33.884
Why?

00:14:33.884 --> 00:14:35.951
Why'd you keep saying like call the code?

00:14:35.951 --> 00:14:47.279
Just like you, you were there for like 15 seconds and you like call the code, like pronounce this person dead, and I was like dude, I was like this lady's gonna die.

00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:49.926
Like she was pretty much dead when she got to the table.

00:14:49.926 --> 00:14:55.971
I was like the last and I was like, and you saw how much pizza and how fast I was trying to eat.

00:14:55.971 --> 00:14:57.596
I was like the last thing.

00:14:57.677 --> 00:15:00.264
Her family members because, they were sitting in the room.

00:15:00.464 --> 00:15:10.690
They're gonna see her dead and me puking pepperoni slices oh boy, just projectile vomiting on her like her arteries spewing the blood into her abdomen.

00:15:10.690 --> 00:15:13.129
That's the main reason.

00:15:13.129 --> 00:15:29.789
And he was like, okay, the funny part is there was another time, a couple months later, we were both the first to respond to a call and it was the same thing and one of the bigger girls that was a resident there got there before me.

00:15:29.789 --> 00:15:36.330
So I was relieving her for the chest compression and I'm looking at him and I'm like you got to call the code.

00:15:36.330 --> 00:15:38.172
She's like not again.

00:15:38.172 --> 00:15:39.528
And he's like why?

00:15:39.528 --> 00:15:49.798
Now he's like I'm like there's no way I'm gonna look that good pumping my chest she's going to town like I don't have that much energy, man.

00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:54.289
Oh my gosh, wow, that one was joking, but the first one I was just like.

00:15:54.429 --> 00:16:01.614
I honestly like the chances we save this lady is next to zero and I don't want to cover with vomit.

00:16:01.793 --> 00:16:03.717
But no, but people don't always talk about that man.

00:16:03.717 --> 00:16:10.351
It's, like you know, sometimes life and death, or you're dealing with the transitions, right, it's like just another day at work.

00:16:10.351 --> 00:16:15.352
It's like, yeah, today was just Tuesday and like people don't realize that that's like, that's real.

00:16:15.352 --> 00:16:16.054
You know what I mean.

00:16:16.054 --> 00:16:17.932
It's like you know you got to take it home with you.

00:16:23.284 --> 00:16:24.267
You got it home with you.

00:16:24.267 --> 00:16:27.115
You gotta take it back to lunch that is true, that is true.

00:16:27.254 --> 00:16:28.818
Pizza, maybe seven o'clock dinner, seven o'clock dinner.

00:16:28.818 --> 00:16:38.719
I stopped, I stopped pounding pizza slices that day, right while I'm on call right, let me clarify while I'm on call and I stopped being the first person to respond to.

00:16:38.719 --> 00:16:42.894
There we go.

00:16:42.894 --> 00:16:44.739
I'll relieve somebody.

00:16:45.245 --> 00:16:46.028
Those codes are the worst.

00:16:46.028 --> 00:16:52.530
If you get there first and no one shows up, you're just pumping that chest, and who knows how long, because you're supposed to rotate.

00:16:53.331 --> 00:16:58.490
But if you're a little bit later than that, then the whole room has like 30 people in it.

00:16:58.784 --> 00:17:02.669
It's not just like the little thing You're going at it, you're trying to at it, yeah.

00:17:02.710 --> 00:17:09.371
It's because you're trying to pretty much compress somebody's sternum down to their down to their vertebrae.

00:17:09.893 --> 00:17:16.895
So so I will say this just a little fun fact Deanna's actually saved a life or two.

00:17:17.175 --> 00:17:20.087
Okay, no, no, no, no, Go ahead, no, no, no.

00:17:20.127 --> 00:17:20.509
Go ahead.

00:17:20.529 --> 00:17:22.414
I think you're being modest, you're being modest.

00:17:22.796 --> 00:17:24.307
No, she was in her first job.

00:17:24.307 --> 00:17:24.890
She was a lifeguard.

00:17:24.890 --> 00:17:26.655
Yes, one of her first jobs.

00:17:26.655 --> 00:17:30.498
Oh then you definitely saved a life, I mean, but I'm not saving a life like you guys.

00:17:31.250 --> 00:17:36.076
I'm just saying Dude, a lifeguard saved my life and I'm sure they thought it was nothing.

00:17:42.305 --> 00:17:44.394
They just grabbed me shirt but I almost drowned in like two feet of water.

00:17:44.394 --> 00:17:45.203
Come on, I tell her I was like.

00:17:45.203 --> 00:17:45.564
You know it was early on.

00:17:45.564 --> 00:17:45.998
I was like, but you got to give yourself some.

00:17:45.998 --> 00:17:46.432
You know it's two or three live.

00:17:46.432 --> 00:17:47.012
You know you're like.

00:17:47.012 --> 00:17:47.934
No, we had it at the cpr.

00:17:47.994 --> 00:17:55.817
You're out there everybody thinks they can do it until they get into the deep end yeah, yeah, yeah no, let's guard save lives

00:17:58.248 --> 00:18:02.999
yeah yeah yeah, yeah I I went out surfing.

00:18:02.999 --> 00:18:12.661
It wasn't huge waves, it was Rhode Island, and it was my first time and I fell off and I felt like, oh yeah.

00:18:13.450 --> 00:18:14.256
I could not get up.

00:18:14.256 --> 00:18:15.990
I could not get up.

00:18:16.030 --> 00:18:16.332
Yeah.

00:18:16.664 --> 00:18:21.971
And then, eventually, I managed to feel the ground under me and I stood up.

00:18:21.971 --> 00:18:24.515
I swear the water was this deep.

00:18:24.855 --> 00:18:25.378
It happened.

00:18:25.378 --> 00:18:25.820
It happened.

00:18:25.820 --> 00:18:27.652
How did I just?

00:18:27.672 --> 00:18:29.505
tumble like 25 times.

00:18:29.505 --> 00:18:31.373
Who was holding me underneath the water just now?

00:18:32.326 --> 00:18:37.765
I'm like this is not even as deep as my bathtub and this guy's holding the surfboard.

00:18:37.765 --> 00:18:39.131
It's like your first time.

00:18:39.131 --> 00:18:42.029
I'm like yeah, thank you, Go fuck yourself.

00:18:44.726 --> 00:18:45.105
First arm.

00:18:45.186 --> 00:18:51.884
I'm in here, yeah oh man, lifeguards save lives incredible, incredible tell us more.

00:18:51.923 --> 00:19:01.655
I knew you mentioned on like on the marketing side, what are some of the big things that you all are working on right now business wise and just growth wise, we're pretty much trying to strike from every angle.

00:19:02.257 --> 00:19:03.986
That's why we're here doing a podcast.

00:19:03.986 --> 00:19:08.094
It's not like we like you guys or anything no, now you do exactly.

00:19:08.094 --> 00:19:17.479
We got a patriot go pat 10 seconds in and like, yeah, these are my type of people.

00:19:18.928 --> 00:19:27.134
No, the podcast thing was like we're like, oh, we can get away from home and just have fun talking other than being working you know working.

00:19:27.253 --> 00:19:30.728
Oh, this guy doesn't talk, yeah, unless there's a camera.

00:19:30.867 --> 00:19:35.497
Oh really oh in person sometimes you know christian christian.

00:19:37.367 --> 00:19:39.012
What's that christian from the show?

00:19:39.253 --> 00:19:42.265
well, my wife says I'm on the spectrum and I probably do have one.

00:19:42.424 --> 00:19:46.132
No, he's not just on the spectrum, he's at a far end of the spectrum.

00:19:46.132 --> 00:19:46.693
Okay.

00:19:46.693 --> 00:19:54.512
Okay, so I don't know, I've never been diagnosed with it, but sort of you never sought out a diagnosis either.

00:19:54.894 --> 00:19:57.713
No, and one of the main reasons.

00:19:57.713 --> 00:20:04.945
Brothers, one of the things I talk about a lot is the health and wellness and, like I know, we do surgeries.

00:20:04.945 --> 00:20:18.384
But, like you know, we were doing surgeries and these patients were just like massive and like high bmis and I was like just not happy with the aesthetic result, because I was like how can we get these?

00:20:18.384 --> 00:20:21.993
People to lose some weight, and you know, you know that's the optimum outcomes.

00:20:22.255 --> 00:20:29.796
And I started, you know, to get into peptides and everything myself and like I lost 60 pounds.

00:20:29.796 --> 00:20:39.367
So I was like all right let me bring this into the practice, and we brought that in Great idea, Like have been adding different things to get our patients healthy, rather than you know.

00:20:39.367 --> 00:20:49.207
Some patients come in they don't know, they think you can just liposuction their weight off and you know, like for someone that's already done a lot of ready.

00:20:49.207 --> 00:20:51.532
Give me magic overnight, yeah.

00:20:51.633 --> 00:20:53.176
And it's really a butt lift while you're at it.

00:20:53.967 --> 00:21:00.628
Yeah, so for a lot of patients that have already done the hard work yet you can do liposuction and get them better figure.

00:21:00.628 --> 00:21:10.471
But for patients that think they're going to take weight off with surgery, it's not going to happen unless it's weight loss surgery and that's not plastic surgery.

00:21:10.511 --> 00:21:11.153
It's not right.

00:21:11.153 --> 00:21:11.755
That's not like.

00:21:11.755 --> 00:21:12.376
Everybody knows like.

00:21:12.376 --> 00:21:12.967
Is that different?

00:21:12.967 --> 00:21:14.737
That's different yeah, yeah, like tummy tucks.

00:21:14.737 --> 00:21:19.172
You're not going to lose a significant amount of weight from a tummy tuck yeah, oh really, or how much do?

00:21:19.172 --> 00:21:20.473
You, how much do you lose?

00:21:20.513 --> 00:21:30.527
like five pounds is a really so so the thing is I actually no, I'm sorry I would think a tummy tuck, even if, you see, I would think a tummy tuck, you're dropping like a 20 piece.

00:21:30.527 --> 00:21:32.289
No, no like 20 is.

00:21:32.509 --> 00:21:36.858
20 is the high end, so so I like I was actually getting it.

00:21:36.939 --> 00:21:51.832
So it matters where your patient is and, like you got to educate them into, you know they got to make lifestyle changes before they have the surgery and I was actually like starting to do a study, because you, unless they're willing to pay five times the amount cash.

00:21:52.192 --> 00:22:03.815
Oh you, I can consider it, you do tighten the abdomen up which makes it like at the beginning it makes it harder to eat, but like if you're, you're not living the healthy lifestyle.

00:22:03.815 --> 00:22:05.550
That stomach's going to expand.

00:22:05.550 --> 00:22:14.324
You know we remove some fat but it's usually on average maybe three to five pounds, but people don't even keep that off If you're continuing with bad habits.

00:22:14.586 --> 00:22:19.944
Because even in three to five pounds I'm just thinking about me Like I could put that down in one pizza content.

00:22:19.944 --> 00:22:22.794
Yeah, yeah, exactly On call, I can do that on call.

00:22:22.794 --> 00:22:24.810
I can do that on call.

00:22:26.205 --> 00:22:36.911
But the thing is, even with gastric bypass, where they flip a part of your intestines around to slow it down or gastric sleeve.

00:22:37.005 --> 00:22:40.695
Those are the two most common types of bariatric surgery that people do.

00:22:40.695 --> 00:22:49.896
The sleeve like like, let's say, your stomach's shaped like this and your esophagus comes here and the intestine comes out there.

00:22:49.896 --> 00:22:51.667
They pretty much staple this.

00:22:51.667 --> 00:22:56.297
So your stomach's that big, so you eat a little bit.

00:22:56.297 --> 00:23:00.311
It feels full already and it sends the signals to your brain.

00:23:00.311 --> 00:23:15.855
Uh, so those are the two most common types and there's at least a 33 failure rate, like that's wait a minute, yeah oh yeah, that's like a third yeah and that's why you gotta get like even the bariatric surgeons.

00:23:15.894 --> 00:23:18.931
They gotta have patients that comply and lose some weight on their own.

00:23:18.931 --> 00:23:19.192
Can I just?

00:23:19.192 --> 00:23:20.356
Can I just tell you, I knew it, I knew you're right.

00:23:20.356 --> 00:23:21.119
Can I just tell you guys something?

00:23:21.140 --> 00:23:21.561
because I really it.

00:23:21.561 --> 00:23:22.506
I knew you were going to tell me, can I?

00:23:22.526 --> 00:23:28.853
just tell you guys something Because I really like to eat, like you know, like I can be a big boy If I didn't really watch it.

00:23:28.853 --> 00:23:34.057
So sometimes I'll watch my 600-pound life just to let myself know, like this is what I can do.

00:23:34.057 --> 00:23:36.510
You need to have some guardrails.

00:23:45.048 --> 00:23:46.770
Like put the trail mix down or widen the doorway.

00:23:46.790 --> 00:23:49.375
You don't want people who cut out holes in your wall to get you out.

00:23:49.375 --> 00:23:50.276
You don't want to do that.

00:23:50.336 --> 00:23:53.760
So when I see the 600-pound life, just to your point, like you see him talk about.

00:23:53.760 --> 00:23:56.602
Like hey, I can't even operate on you, right?

00:23:56.602 --> 00:23:58.702
Now because you've got to lose 50 or 100 pounds.

00:23:58.722 --> 00:24:02.093
No, no, no, 100, yeah 200 before we can even operate.

00:24:05.144 --> 00:24:07.012
Yeah, yeah, got to lose 50 or 100 pounds, 200 before we can even operate.

00:24:07.012 --> 00:24:07.334
Yeah, yeah, it's.

00:24:07.334 --> 00:24:12.192
Their mindsets got to change and a lot of these people I exactly, you know, I was working with some of the bariatric surgeons and did a lot of it.

00:24:12.192 --> 00:24:26.751
The patients that do well are the ones that begin losing the weight and then have bariatric surgery continue to lose the weight and they get to a low bmi where the the skin's really hindering them right, yes, yes, yes gaining their confidence.

00:24:26.932 --> 00:24:29.096
So they could rebound and go backwards.

00:24:29.096 --> 00:24:34.015
But the patients that like they're like they just get the surgery done don't change their life.

00:24:34.576 --> 00:24:42.017
They have addictive personalities yeah, they're going over addiction yeah, it's all you can eat because you show the surgery, who's boss?

00:24:42.017 --> 00:24:43.223
But they literally show.

00:24:43.223 --> 00:24:48.795
They like oh, you think you can like shrink my stomach down, I'll show you.

00:24:49.155 --> 00:25:00.396
Yeah, interesting because they think this operation is going to help and like that's true, and we'll like remove skin on them and then, like they get hooked on pain meds and yes we, we see it like.

00:25:00.396 --> 00:25:14.635
I'm like all right, it makes sense and you got to really be careful with like pain meds and stuff with these patients because they end up getting addicted to opioids and stuff so like it's just the mindset you got to.

00:25:14.675 --> 00:25:21.685
You got to be able to change that and if they don't have it appropriate, you see them not losing a lot of weight so it's a lifestyle change yes, what do you?

00:25:21.705 --> 00:25:22.987
guys think GLP-1s.

00:25:23.147 --> 00:25:27.271
I was just about to ask yeah, yeah, what's your take on GLP-1s?

00:25:27.292 --> 00:25:29.095
Ozempic the different GLP-1s.

00:25:29.174 --> 00:25:29.775
They're great.

00:25:29.775 --> 00:25:34.601
They're a great starter pack for some people, they're great maintenance for some people.

00:25:34.601 --> 00:25:37.067
So it varies.

00:25:37.828 --> 00:25:38.871
Do you think it's long-term?

00:25:38.871 --> 00:25:43.699
I love it and I think it's long-term and it's good for you overall health-wise.

00:25:44.065 --> 00:25:50.459
There's so many health benefits and I use them, and I use it to lose weight along with peptides.

00:25:50.459 --> 00:25:53.294
But the thing I do is I dose it.

00:25:53.294 --> 00:25:59.682
I don't take it like on schedule anymore after I've lost my weight and like I microdose it.

00:25:59.682 --> 00:26:02.902
I'll move up in dosage if I go on beach vacation.

00:26:02.902 --> 00:26:04.346
I'm like I got to drop some pounds.

00:26:04.346 --> 00:26:10.288
I'll up the dose for a little bit and then go back down gotta get my sexy back super dose.

00:26:10.307 --> 00:26:18.015
So out of curiosity, um no, because I really appreciate you all sharing that, because you know, being in fitness and wellness, it's been like a complete takeover, right?

00:26:18.015 --> 00:26:27.066
Yeah, and I know it was supposed to serve a purpose and a role for, obviously, diabetic patients and different things like that, and then it was like it's like anything else people say it works.

00:26:27.066 --> 00:26:27.667
It's like what?

00:26:27.867 --> 00:26:33.785
yeah honestly, oh yeah there's a lot of distrust with physicians nowadays.

00:26:33.785 --> 00:26:40.538
Since covid and stuff, yes, and I, like I did you did a lot of medical research.

00:26:40.538 --> 00:26:51.342
I did a ton of years of research, so I'm I'm very like stringent on, like what's put out and like trying to poke holes in articles and stuff.

00:26:51.342 --> 00:27:04.199
And I I will tell you that the main thing with any type of medication, anything you're going to take, is risks versus benefit, so side effects versus how it's going to work for you.

00:27:04.199 --> 00:27:19.933
And this like not medical advice, but as a physician, I'll tell you like for a majority of people, the side effects is like very minimum compared to like even most drugs.

00:27:19.933 --> 00:27:22.972
So, like a lot of these GLP-1s, you got to inject too.

00:27:23.413 --> 00:27:42.458
So then to think like, oh, it's an injectable rather than oral right and it has less side effects, then I I'm gonna say, in my hands it has way less side effects compared to other medications that like just they say they hit this trigger and cause that kind of response.

00:27:42.458 --> 00:27:47.217
But it's just, it's definitely a game changer.

00:27:47.217 --> 00:27:53.057
Not everybody can tolerate it, but, like, the side effects people say is like nausea, vomiting.

00:27:53.057 --> 00:28:00.193
It's like, yeah, you're trying to eat when your body's telling you not to eat Gastric reflux, which is heartburn.

00:28:00.193 --> 00:28:04.516
You're going to get that just because your stomach's not emptying out as fast.

00:28:04.516 --> 00:28:12.932
So if you have gastric reflux issues beforehand, you should probably want to control that Slowly dose it yeah.

00:28:14.430 --> 00:28:21.795
And work it out and they're bringing new formulations with different receptors to decrease the GI symptoms.

00:28:22.444 --> 00:28:38.972
And one of the things that I've heard, too, is that it's really important to continue to train and work out while you're on GLP-1s, because I think, for the people that think it's just going to be a magic potion, magic drug inject it keep eating how I'm eating, or maybe eating less of what the same foods I'm eating, but doesn't it also attack some of the muscle?

00:28:39.144 --> 00:28:40.170
You can waste away.

00:28:45.184 --> 00:28:45.375
That's what I was going to say.

00:28:45.375 --> 00:28:45.680
Attack some of the muscle you can waste away.

00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:45.827
That's what I was going to say.

00:28:45.827 --> 00:28:48.411
Right, because you're going to, it's going to also less, it's going to also you're consuming less, it's going to also attack some of the muscle, right, yeah, it's going to start feeding off.

00:28:48.328 --> 00:29:03.279
It's going to feed off the muscle, so it doesn't you get, you got to have physicians that like do functional medicine or are in the space and know how to control that stuff and like, for us we we put our patients on the scale that tells us if they're losing muscle mass.

00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:06.477
You know like you're gonna lose muscle mass.

00:29:06.477 --> 00:29:09.207
If you're losing weight, you're eating less caloric restriction.

00:29:09.207 --> 00:29:15.305
So we discuss, like high protein diets and, like I was saying before, like resistance bands.

00:29:15.305 --> 00:29:22.817
Resistance bands like you maintain more muscle and your bone health with resistance bands over weight training.

00:29:22.817 --> 00:29:28.173
So I discussed that I'm like go and get good resistance bands, you don't need to do a hell of a lot.

00:29:28.314 --> 00:29:28.674
I use X3.

00:29:30.265 --> 00:29:35.546
There's Harambe system, there's multiple different systems that you're like 15, 20 minutes in the morning, good day.

00:29:35.546 --> 00:29:48.636
And I actually put on muscle while I was on GLP-1s and that was because while I was on GLP-1s, and that was because one thing was I was taking like growth hormone receptor peptides, but also the resistance bands.

00:29:48.636 --> 00:29:53.801
Once I added that in, I definitely saw much bigger growth in my muscle gains.

00:29:53.982 --> 00:29:58.977
That's got to be a game changer on the marketing side for you guys, because you actually tried the different things that you all offer.

00:29:58.977 --> 00:29:59.244
How?

00:29:59.265 --> 00:29:59.586
do you do this?

00:29:59.586 --> 00:30:00.068
Yeah, how do you share?

00:30:00.088 --> 00:30:00.731
Is that something that you share?

00:30:00.731 --> 00:30:01.314
How does that you all offer?

00:30:01.314 --> 00:30:01.394
How?

00:30:01.414 --> 00:30:01.535
do you?

00:30:01.535 --> 00:30:01.957
How do you share?

00:30:01.957 --> 00:30:02.419
Yeah, how do you share?

00:30:02.419 --> 00:30:03.162
Is that something that you share?

00:30:03.162 --> 00:30:03.443
How does that?

00:30:03.463 --> 00:30:03.604
come in.

00:30:03.604 --> 00:30:11.107
Yeah, so I share all his stories because I'm like I know like dude, the GLP ones you're supposed to titrate up and he did.

00:30:11.107 --> 00:30:12.412
He.

00:30:12.412 --> 00:30:15.523
He took like a big dose the first time he took it.

00:30:15.523 --> 00:30:19.935
He came into the operating room and he was just like I think I gotta go to the bathroom throw up.

00:30:20.076 --> 00:30:28.623
Yeah, I had weight issues because, like being being like college athlete and just being in your younger days.

00:30:28.623 --> 00:30:31.731
You just like your metabolism just shuts down.

00:30:31.731 --> 00:30:32.614
You can't like.

00:30:32.614 --> 00:30:36.551
All of a sudden your hormones are out of balance and you just can't lose weight.

00:30:36.551 --> 00:30:42.651
But I've tried everything I've been on all the diet pills and, like you've done, different diets too.

00:30:42.691 --> 00:30:52.880
It's not just like looking for like a magic formula he's done things that work for him but his weight like over the years, until like three, four years.

00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:54.022
What's it four years ago?

00:30:54.063 --> 00:30:57.199
now like it was always fluctuating.

00:30:57.199 --> 00:31:01.698
There's just times just like, holy crap, like he's really chubby.

00:31:01.698 --> 00:31:10.982
It's not like actually thinking of him that way, but like looking at the pictures, like, yeah, wow, sure, his face is really round, yeah, right.

00:31:10.982 --> 00:31:17.309
And then, but like over like two years spans like being damn, he's in really good shape, right.

00:31:17.309 --> 00:31:28.566
And then like, and to see him swing back to like the bad side, like after he's like successful, knows about everything being like, but he's just not able to keep the weight off.

00:31:28.566 --> 00:31:45.294
So that was the eye-opener once that transition went from being overweight to like just like he's on, he's on fire right now, not just weight wise, but like working with them every day, like showing up to the operating room together just mindset's a lot different.

00:31:45.473 --> 00:31:46.917
Yeah, it works a lot better.

00:31:46.958 --> 00:31:52.598
You're just sharp absolutely yeah, and that discipline, I'm sure yeah, and I use different things to like.

00:31:53.240 --> 00:32:07.011
Like once I got my weight down it was like how can I improve my brain function to maximize that and like be able to, and the ideas and everything just come a lot easier that's when you start wasting a lot of money on things.

00:32:07.011 --> 00:32:16.500
Yeah and even operating like you have to optimize eyes, yeah, level 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0.

00:32:16.520 --> 00:32:18.442
Let's go windows 98?

00:32:18.603 --> 00:32:22.626
yes, windows 98 yes yeah, so I, I just like.

00:32:22.626 --> 00:32:27.142
I was like oh, glp1s, I don't need to titrate, I just took the highest dose.

00:32:27.142 --> 00:32:34.200
Um, yeah, I was projectile vomiting that day oh my gosh like my wife asked me to go and do something outside.

00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:37.556
I bent over and I was well, this was after like.

00:32:37.556 --> 00:32:38.740
I walked into this case.

00:32:38.740 --> 00:32:41.717
I finished doing my side and then ran to the bathroom.

00:32:41.757 --> 00:32:42.638
I'm like I got to step out.

00:32:42.638 --> 00:32:43.119
I don't feel good.

00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:44.022
I got to go to the bathroom.

00:32:44.063 --> 00:32:46.055
I went, I projectile vomited.

00:32:46.075 --> 00:32:46.938
You were like did you have pizza?

00:32:46.938 --> 00:32:47.980
Were you in a pizza competition?

00:32:47.980 --> 00:32:48.301
Yeah right.

00:32:48.970 --> 00:32:51.298
Well, I thought it was the tuna sandwich.

00:32:51.337 --> 00:32:52.161
How many slices?

00:32:52.161 --> 00:32:54.047
Five slices, three slices how many?

00:32:54.067 --> 00:32:54.327
slices?

00:32:54.327 --> 00:32:54.769
I didn't even think.

00:32:54.769 --> 00:32:56.104
And in how much time?

00:32:56.144 --> 00:33:01.545
In how much time I didn't think it was a medication because I was like was it Because I think I had like some tuna salad or something?

00:33:01.565 --> 00:33:02.089
He's like what did I eat?

00:33:02.089 --> 00:33:03.635
Was it the funny tuna?

00:33:03.635 --> 00:33:05.796
I was like the funny tuna, the funny tuna.

00:33:05.796 --> 00:33:12.835
Yeah, I thought it was out a little long.

00:33:12.855 --> 00:33:13.816
He looked green.

00:33:13.816 --> 00:33:15.458
He came in and looked like your dress.

00:33:15.458 --> 00:33:18.461
I was just like something's not right.

00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:20.603
Then I started from the ground back up.

00:33:20.603 --> 00:33:22.464
I was like all right, I got to tighten up.

00:33:22.484 --> 00:33:27.692
Honestly, when you're in the zone in the OR, you don't even notice Until he mentioned it.

00:33:27.692 --> 00:33:29.213
He's like I don't feel good.

00:33:29.213 --> 00:33:32.215
I'm like you don't look good.

00:33:32.215 --> 00:33:33.938
I never hear that from him.

00:33:33.938 --> 00:33:36.961
I'm'm like look at him.

00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:39.242
Yeah, you don't look good.

00:33:39.482 --> 00:33:40.844
I don't know what's going on.

00:33:40.903 --> 00:33:42.105
That's crazy.

00:33:42.105 --> 00:33:43.866
Yeah, no, but thanks for sharing though.

00:33:46.430 --> 00:33:50.554
That's always just good to be able to hear, especially from firsthand experience and also having the medical knowledge and experience Because I think so often you have.

00:33:50.554 --> 00:34:06.618
You know we're in a creator generation, a creator era right now between YouTube, socials and everybody's sharing their POV, whether that's you know you're doing it from a brand side, you're promoting the product or you're just like going through it on your journey, but they don't necessarily have the medical experience.

00:34:06.618 --> 00:34:12.559
And they're advising people and they're saying you know, you got to do the carnivore diet, liver king.

00:34:13.112 --> 00:34:15.199
And it's like this dude's not all natural.

00:34:17.130 --> 00:34:23.856
He's telling you you got to eat a you know, grab it out of the fridge and just take a bite out of it the thing is like if you spend, like twelve thousand dollars a month on gh.

00:34:24.278 --> 00:34:28.492
I heard it was like he was spending 70k a month on hormones and stuff.

00:34:28.492 --> 00:34:37.099
Yeah, I don't know how you can spend that much, like you can get a lot of good stuff for way less than that costs a lot of money, okay, so give us, yeah, give us.

00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:38.954
I don't know a ton about that, but I know.

00:34:38.954 --> 00:35:07.726
Like you know, I'm in addition to what we do with Company Fit, I'm also the VP of Partnerships at ISSA, international Sports Sciences Association but a lot of our foundation was early on bodybuilding over seven years, right, certifications, personal training, we go to the Olympia shows and some of the things, and so sometimes you're looking, you're like that's like you got to have a full time job to afford the enhancements that some of the people are doing Right To be able to, like, physically, have caps, you know, on the shoulders.

00:35:08.068 --> 00:35:19.759
Yeah, the thing is with like hormone replacements, like especially with like bodybuilding uh, two most important ones, or most prevalent ones testosterone and growth hormone.

00:35:19.759 --> 00:35:36.023
There's even some physicians that are saying like this like supernatural amount of testosterone is good for you that's what Krista was telling us but, like you, you want to stay on like the higher end of normal for testosterone and growth hormone.

00:35:36.023 --> 00:35:42.581
The growth hormone releasing peptides tend to do way better than just injecting yourself with growth hormone.

00:35:42.581 --> 00:35:44.456
Well, it's not do better.

00:35:44.650 --> 00:35:45.996
It matters what you're looking for.

00:35:46.960 --> 00:35:47.590
That is true.

00:35:47.650 --> 00:35:58.202
Growth hormone is going to give you the best results with lean muscle mass growth, where you're not going to get as much with the growth hormone releasing peptides and stuff.

00:35:58.202 --> 00:36:01.838
But the problem with growth hormone is you're increasing.

00:36:01.838 --> 00:36:06.963
Your growth hormone is going to decrease years in your life so can you repeat?

00:36:07.023 --> 00:36:09.570
that, yeah, it's going to decrease years in your life.

00:36:09.570 --> 00:36:37.525
So, growth hormone, unless you're like doing low, very low doses, you're, otherwise you're speeding up the way you're you're going through life and that's why you see, like the heart attacks and all all these, like 45, 50s, like heart exploding, yeah, yeah like the wcw wrestlers every wrestler, yeah, and like we were talking about, like when macho man passed away years ago I was.

00:36:37.965 --> 00:36:38.969
I read the article.

00:36:38.969 --> 00:36:42.056
It was like macho man died of car accident.

00:36:42.056 --> 00:36:49.780
I was like, finally, like not that I wished it upon him, but it's like, finally, a wrestler that didn't die of a heart attack, it's a car accident.

00:36:49.780 --> 00:36:56.717
It's like, oh, he got into the car accident because he had a heart attack behind the wheel gotcha yeah like even growth hormone.

00:36:56.757 --> 00:36:57.898
I did growth hormone.

00:36:58.581 --> 00:36:59.463
He's tried all of it.

00:37:00.730 --> 00:37:03.981
Even the I felt my wrists growing my hips.

00:37:03.981 --> 00:37:07.318
I would get hip pain, joint pains, Carpal tunnel.

00:37:07.338 --> 00:37:07.980
Carpal tunnel.

00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:09.141
Cervical Trigger fingers.

00:37:09.141 --> 00:37:11.536
Cervical spinal issues.

00:37:11.536 --> 00:37:16.398
Wow, so there's side effects like this, and then how much do these things cost?

00:37:16.398 --> 00:37:17.987
Whether so there's side effects like this, and then how?

00:37:17.918 --> 00:37:18.300
much do these things cost?

00:37:18.300 --> 00:37:18.972
Whether someone's like.

00:37:18.972 --> 00:37:20.969
I don't know if this is paper insurance, it varies because you can get it from somebody in the gym.

00:37:21.010 --> 00:37:30.021
You could get it from Canada, Turkey, India Find it online, because I do know some people that were telling me yeah, I'll be finding stuff on Reddit People find it online.

00:37:31.271 --> 00:37:34.596
It's a risky business, I'm sure A lot of the stuff for the peptides.

00:37:34.916 --> 00:37:40.222
a lot of it comes from China, Whether you get it in the US or anything from compound pharmacies.

00:37:40.242 --> 00:37:41.806
Well, that's medication period.

00:37:41.846 --> 00:37:44.918
Yeah, that's why Trump's setting the tariffs.

00:37:45.389 --> 00:37:58.534
They're making it in China and then they're sending it over here and the compound pharmacies do purity testings and stuff and the black market's become pretty big where you could even pick up some of the glp ones and stuff.

00:37:58.534 --> 00:38:09.313
But like when some people say they're not losing weight or you know some of the muscle wasting and stuff, they're not taking it from a doctor, they're just taking it from someone.

00:38:09.333 --> 00:38:11.443
So they're going, but like you'll still get.

00:38:11.563 --> 00:38:30.893
But you'll still get muscle wasting with doctor prescribed stuff, but it's just higher when you're doing yes, quality, yeah, yeah that makes sense, yeah, pretty much have to look at percentage, like percentage body fat, like yeah, okay, I lost like, let's say, like three pounds of muscle, but I lost six pounds of fat.

00:38:30.893 --> 00:38:35.800
That's muscle worth losing for just to get more lean.

00:38:35.800 --> 00:38:38.525
But it also matters what your goals are.

00:38:38.525 --> 00:38:59.431
So, like, if you want to put on more muscle but like trim down a little, like, you need a little bit of both, like with the glp ones mixed with, like growth hormone, releasing peptides and I, I ask you like how you would tell your wife and like for my wife, wife, she's like she's type A personality, she does her own thing.

00:38:59.492 --> 00:39:11.092
So, like I did everything and I, you know, like after we had our first son, like I was like I can't be this way, like to be able to play with them and everything I got to lose weight.

00:39:11.092 --> 00:39:12.293
So I'm more active.

00:39:12.293 --> 00:39:21.373
So like I got on this whole thing of being healthier and getting better and I lost the weight before we had our second son.

00:39:21.373 --> 00:39:24.862
And then, once we had our second son, she's like what were you on?

00:39:24.862 --> 00:39:27.876
She got on glp-1 shortly to lose the weight.

00:39:27.876 --> 00:39:40.083
Um, after she was done breastfeeding, she got in shape and then now she's, like you know, trying the other peptides because that worked so well for, you know, like trouble sleeping.

00:39:40.083 --> 00:39:41.065
There's stuff for that.00:39:41.065 --> 00:39:45.596


You know there's other things to just overall we're trying for a third.00:39:45.596 --> 00:39:49.179


So if she's trying to like help her system get, better she can.00:39:49.539 --> 00:39:52.315


Yeah, Come on Breaking breaking news, yeah.00:39:52.335 --> 00:39:53.199


That's how it goes.00:39:53.199 --> 00:39:55.378


No, we've said it multiple times we have.00:39:56.969 --> 00:39:57.652


But it, yeah, that's how it goes.00:39:57.652 --> 00:39:59.099


No, we've said it multiple times, we have, but it's like until it happens.00:39:59.099 --> 00:40:01.568


That's exciting, we don't have kids yet, but yeah, that's exciting though, yeah big time.00:40:01.588 --> 00:40:05.141


Yeah, it was always about like scheduling it where.00:40:05.141 --> 00:40:13.121


Yeah, because I've been with never schedule, if you guys are scheduling having a kid, don't just have a kid, yeah I know scheduling for sure.00:40:13.121 --> 00:40:14.905


Yeah, yeah, yeah.00:40:14.905 --> 00:40:18.835


For me it was like don't schedule, it's having a kid dude.00:40:18.889 --> 00:40:22.996


You're never going to be ready, you're never going to be set, you're never going to be, prepared.00:40:22.996 --> 00:40:27.418


And even if you are and you're hyper like, focused on that.00:40:27.418 --> 00:40:29.961


It doesn't matter.00:40:34.233 --> 00:40:43.478


If you want a kid, you just go do it, it, it took me a while and you know I and you get by like you got to see, like what our parents got by with.00:40:44.039 --> 00:40:48.362


You're like whoa, they had way less resources, they were way less prepared than us.00:40:48.362 --> 00:40:50.329


You think they had everything figured out.00:40:50.329 --> 00:40:55.396


But then you look back like yeah oh but it's different for every like.00:40:55.737 --> 00:40:57.740


I like, I really like.00:40:57.740 --> 00:41:03.255


I can't remember exactly when I even thought about having a kid.00:41:03.255 --> 00:41:12.659


It was like it wasn't till, like I was like 36, 37, um till I even thought about it, I was like out of that school and like getting married.00:41:12.659 --> 00:41:15.833


You know, I was like I gotta have enough money even having a kid.00:41:15.952 --> 00:41:19.579


I'm like I gotta accomplish these things before having a kid.00:41:19.599 --> 00:41:35.195


But then, like you know me and my wife like you know, you protect yourself all this protected time, like, oh, I want to go travel for a few years, but then it's, like you know, like when you try to have a kid and you can't have it and we have to go through ivf and stuff that's the biggest thing, thing.00:41:35.315 --> 00:41:35.835


That's where.00:41:36.056 --> 00:41:51.315


I'm like you know, if you really want to have a kid, like, don't put it off, but if you're like questionable about it, yeah, take your time, chris Rock did say is, once you have a kid like, fuck you, fuck your aspirations.00:41:51.769 --> 00:41:52.753


Oh, you want to travel.00:41:52.753 --> 00:41:53.757


Go fuck yourself.00:41:53.757 --> 00:41:55.594


It's not about you anymore.00:41:55.994 --> 00:41:57.818


So that's the one thing to like.00:41:57.818 --> 00:41:58.579


Weigh in.00:42:01.170 --> 00:42:06.719


But it is like, for me it's the greatest thing in the world being a dad.00:42:06.719 --> 00:42:10.179


Like I don't just say it to like look like that guy.00:42:10.179 --> 00:42:22.889


It's like we absolutely love the time we spend together and want to just like hold on to that as much as possible, Cause in like five years she's going to be in college.00:42:23.130 --> 00:42:29.664


It's like crazy, um, and then, like we waited to have a second one, then we had some hard times, so it's, it's like that.00:42:29.664 --> 00:42:32.273


That's why it's like, oh, you can put it off, put it off.00:42:32.273 --> 00:42:34.414


But like eh, put it off, put it off.00:42:34.414 --> 00:42:39.764


But like something about evolution telling me to have as many kids as possible.00:42:39.764 --> 00:42:42.659


Now, just treat it like pizza slices.00:42:43.050 --> 00:42:46.836


Oh boy, finish the pie in under 30.00:42:46.836 --> 00:42:49.956


Just go until you're going to puke.00:42:49.976 --> 00:42:50.378


There we go.00:42:50.398 --> 00:42:50.880
