Pain Can Make You Stronger. Do You Know How?

What does a sustainable fitness life look like when the cameras are off?

We talk with a coach who wakes at 2 a.m., fuels smart, and runs a “healthy Cheers” where people show up for smoothies, support, and workouts that actually stick.

She shares practical routines: simple breakfasts, low-impact workouts with bands and kettlebells, daily mobility, and supplements that actually matter. 

Learn how to train consistently, recover wisely, and choose foods that fuel your body without hype.

If you want a fitness routine that lasts, not just impresses, subscribe, share, and pick one habit to start this week.

00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:21.120
What's your background?

00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:26.239
When did you get into fitness, being your best self?

00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:28.719
I would say what you're doing now.

00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:35.439
Yeah, I would say when we opened our nutrition bar, so nutrition had to show 15 years ago, 14 years ago.

00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:41.520
And that the reason was I wanted to get new results and I wanted to be able to lead by example.

00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:44.799
So I wanted to get the best shape that I could and be that.

00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:49.920
I never wanted to be a coach that someone said, Oh, you got to see my coach.

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.320
She used to compete or she used to be really.

00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:54.079
Yeah.

00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:54.719
You know?

00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:56.240
So that was like super important to me.

00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:01.439
So I dug in deep, did a uh bodybuilding show, and then fell in love with that whole process.

00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:02.719
So that was it for me.

00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:06.560
And the nutrition star, are you doing that with your husband or yeah?

00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:08.319
So my husband has recently passed away.

00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:08.640
Okay.

00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:12.560
Um, but yes, we did open that together, and that was awesome.

00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:19.359
So we got to work together and work out together, and took him a little bit longer to get on board as far as the health side of it.

00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:22.879
Yeah, you know, but um he followed suit and then it was really.

00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:24.959
Do you mind if I asked what happened with that?

00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:27.680
Yeah, um, I mean, no, I don't mind.

00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:35.359
Um he was 50, really good shape, and his he had plaque buildup.

00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:40.319
So it was mild to moderate, is what we come to find out, which was not super concerning.

00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:44.239
Yeah, but a chunk of it broke off and then he collapsed and took him right away.

00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:44.719
Okay.

00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:45.200
Yeah.

00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:53.120
So they think possibly um hereditary, there are some heart challenges in his family or previous lifestyle.

00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.640
So way back in the day, he had a pretty fun party lifestyle.

00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:02.000
High, like their family runs high blood cholesterol levels and stuff.

00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:02.719
Yep.

00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:04.799
So sorry to hear that.

00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:05.920
Yeah, thank you.

00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:19.919
And do you so uh yeah, your uh your nutrition plates are you making meal plans for the pati uh people that come in or yeah, so there it think of like a cheers, like somebody my age would know what cheers is.

00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:22.639
The young kids don't know, but like a healthy bar, you don't know.

00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:23.759
How old are you?

00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:25.360
44.

00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:26.639
Did you know chairs?

00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:27.039
Come on.

00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:28.719
Cheers the bar where everybody knows your name.

00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:29.360
Oh, chairs.

00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:34.560
I got kicked out of chairs twice.

00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:37.520
Yeah, I know what chairs is.

00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:38.800
Sorry, it's funny.

00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:47.360
I thought chairs was like a name of like this health specific place that he knew that I have no idea about.

00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:50.240
So I automatically I'm like, I don't know that.

00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:52.639
I got kicked out of chairs twice.

00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:55.360
So you know, so it's like that, right?

00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:59.680
Well, we don't have to apologize for things we don't remember the next day because we're not drinking, right?

00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:02.159
Yeah, but it it creates that environment.

00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:07.919
So people come and they sit and they hang out at the bar, they get to know each other and kind of like root for each other and yeah, out.

00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:11.599
So we serve healthy smoothies, waffles, energy drinks, stuff like that.

00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:14.080
And then outside of that, we do fitness.

00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:17.280
So we were before Vince passed away, we were doing fitness every single day.

00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:17.439
Okay.

00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:24.639
So Monday through Saturday in the morning we had a free workout, and then sometimes we'll run stairs or we'll do sprints at the track, stuff like that.

00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:25.919
You work out every day?

00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:26.479
I do.

00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:31.039
Do you have a single break day or you feel like not typically?

00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:36.400
I mean, I'll listen to my body if I need it, but my break would be maybe like a hike, like take a walk or something, take it easy.

00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:37.759
Is an afternoon.

00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:40.800
I can't, I'm so like get up and go.

00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:44.159
It's weird with my psyche if I don't do something.

00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:46.879
Are there routines you follow every day?

00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:52.400
Oh, actually, this is like what I want to get into the routine of asking all our guests.

00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:54.879
When you wake up, what do you do?

00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:56.400
My whole day.

00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:58.960
Uh let's start with the morning.

00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:03.520
What do you do in the morning before you get going on your day?

00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:06.240
Supplements, exercise, stretching.

00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:06.639
Yep.

00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:11.680
No matter what it is, like before you get out the door, what do you like set out to do?

00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.960
So I get up three hours before I have to be wherever I have to be.

00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:17.040
So I get up between 2 and 3 a.m.

00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:19.279
So this is a very late night for me.

00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:21.199
Um, but so I get up between two and three.

00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:21.839
No, I'm just joking.

00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:23.040
We could have done this earlier.

00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:24.319
I'm just joking.

00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:31.279
Um, and then I get up and I go and I make my herbal tea and I have some immunity that I put in there.

00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:38.079
And then um what sorry uh Jack, what what's your herbal tea?

00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:46.399
So it's a green tea, and then it's a zinc echinacea, and then immunity essentials, which is uh like a multivitamin for the immune system.

00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:53.279
So it's a little bit of uh caffeine and mostly to boost your immune system.

00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:53.839
Yep.

00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.959
And so in the winter it'll be hot, in the summer it's cold.

00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:00.000
So I make that and then I turn on personal development.

00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:04.079
So usually I'll listen to different audiobooks or like audios.

00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:08.480
I have some of my favorites, depending on like what space I'm in and what I feel like listening to.

00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:11.600
So that will play the whole time, the whole morning while I'm getting ready.

00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:13.120
And then I'll make my breakfast.

00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:14.639
My breakfast every day is the same thing.

00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:18.560
So I do oats and blueberries and then protein powder in my oats.

00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:22.160
And then um, I'll put greens, like a green powder in there.

00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:22.639
Yeah.

00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:28.079
And then eat that, and then I'll check my emails and get into that and then do my social media.

00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:32.480
So I'm running my personal page and then both of my nutrition bars, I run those pages.

00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:41.439
So if I don't get all of that done before I get to my workout, which is the three hours after, yeah, I just feel like the day has gotten ahead of me, you know?

00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:45.360
So then I don't have to rush and I know that everything that I need to do is done.

00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:45.600
Yeah.

00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:50.800
Uh kind of yeah.

00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:52.160
So I'll do something every day.

00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:56.319
There, there's a couple days where we do our free workout that I'll run stairs with the group.

00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:58.639
So at the complex, we have some stairs.

00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:03.040
So we'll do that, get a little cardio warm-up, and then it's like a bodyweight resistance type workout.

00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:05.839
You just go up and down stairs, like yeah.

00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.319
So there's 11 different flights in our complex.

00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:10.160
So we'll go up and down each one four times.

00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:13.040
So it takes about 15, 20 minutes, depending on the person.

00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:18.959
So kind of warm us up there, and then we'll do bodyweight resistance or like light kettlebells and dumbbells.

00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:33.199
Wrestling practice in high school, we used to have to pull carry uh our partners that were the same weight up like a good like what 30 stairs repeatedly, like five times.

00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:34.560
Yeah, the stadium stairs.

00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:35.759
Yeah, stadium stairs.

00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:37.120
I like stairs.

00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:40.560
I like stairs because I feel like it's muscle building cardio, you know?

00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:49.519
Yeah, it's uh the angle also probably gives you a benefit for your knee joint, like fluid dynamics.

00:06:49.759 --> 00:07:09.439
Yeah, again, I I can't tell you for a fact, but like they're like just going from what Sarah tells me the the um Peloton riding a cycle and having that ex like flexion and extension helps the fluid flow.

00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:16.399
So it probably like keeps the cartilage and stuff well like like intact.

00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:21.279
Just like the knees over toes guy, how he does like over over flexion.

00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:40.879
You don't want to you don't want to break that down, like you don't want to do it like where it's like breaking your cartilage down where you're gonna need a knee replacement, but you do want to have everything flowing fluidly to make sure like you're 80 years old and you don't need a knee replacement.

00:07:40.959 --> 00:08:06.240
Yeah, well that's the biggest thing is yeah, it's like yeah, my posterior chain used to be so tight, and like I've kind of started doing the knees over toes guy, and like just I bought one of the machines and doing like Nordic curls every morning almost helps out quite a bit, and then doing sit-ups kind of opens up my psoas muscles on that machine because you're overextending.

00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:18.879
I would I was doing uh like making sure my like pretty much backside was very well stretched, like hamstring stretches where I can touch my palms to the floor.

00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:29.120
We get out, do my pec stretches, make sure like that way throughout the day I'm standing up tall or taller than I was.

00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:33.039
Yeah, surgery just tightens up your posterior chain and then your chest.

00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:34.799
You end up like a vulture.

00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:40.240
Yeah, like oh god, this meat isn't even dead yet, and I'm still a vulture.

00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:50.799
Um but open it up, but I noticed like when I was like lifting more, I was doing all the things to get my posture straight.

00:08:51.120 --> 00:09:12.960
But what I noticed was stuff from like hip flexors and my quads end up having issues because I wasn't stretching those at all, like just simple quad stretches, simple like uh lunges, like those those things that you wouldn't even think about doing.

00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.720
I was just like, Oh, I guess I gotta do this for balance.

00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:18.399
You have to do it.

00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:25.279
I notice, like as I'm getting older, I feel young, except like you get out of bed and you just don't move quite as fast.

00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:27.120
Yeah, do you measure biceps?

00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:28.639
No, why not?

00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:29.440
I don't know.

00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:34.480
You should you should do that and then show it off when you come on to podcasts like this.

00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:40.879
No, if I say something and you like you don't like, be like, dude, how how wide are your biceps?

00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:41.840
Nice.

00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:43.279
I'll have to start doing that.

00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.480
My IT bands, you guys IT bands get tight.

00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:47.360
Yep, yeah.

00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:48.879
I have to roll those in the mornings.

00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:52.960
A lot of a lot of times you you gotta meet Sarah.

00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:56.000
Wife's a very good PT.

00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:06.879
Um, a lot of times where I think it's uh pains close to my patello femoral joint is stemming from my IT.

00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:17.440
And there there's very simple stretches, and just like, oh, it only took like 10 seconds to do that like yeah, twice a day.

00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:20.879
Isn't it amazing though how many people won't take the time to do it?

00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:21.600
I don't.

00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:43.519
I know what's I didn't for a while because I I wasn't even like running your own company, I wasn't even working out, and then my way back was like once I started peptides and GLP, I I started doing resistance bands, and that's like I do that, and that definitely got me energized and it's like got me more fluid and moving around without injuring myself.

00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:46.240
For me, it was like not drinking.

00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:50.559
If I drink, I don't, I'm useless the next day.

00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:59.279
So yeah, if I don't, like I can sneak in like a 20-minute workout, and that's all it takes uh for most people.

00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:00.000
Yeah.

00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:02.000
Not not to look like you.

00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:05.360
So have you guys heard of rebound bouncing?

00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:07.279
No, I've seen it.

00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:09.440
So that's another thing I do a couple days a week.

00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:11.039
I teach a class and now talk about the knees.

00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:13.759
So it's 80% less impact on the joints.

00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:18.320
Yeah, so like imagine the trampolines that they do, it but it's in your shoes.

00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:19.840
It's like the old moon boots.

00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:22.159
Yeah, yeah, I'm like Kramer's.

00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:23.440
So I teach that.

00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:24.159
It's so fun.

00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:35.360
Like they look like uh like these, they have like you can like three pounds, they have springs, like shells and then like a spring.

00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:48.000
And so we have like sweet moves that we dance, and we have like a fast beat, and yeah, my class is typically middle-age and above, like 40 to 70 year olds.

00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:50.960
Yeah, and it's so cute to watch them out there, yeah.

00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:55.519
But you burn like twice the amount of calories as if you were they're called rebound, yeah.

00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:56.720
Rebounds.

00:11:57.519 --> 00:11:58.799
So that's been my new thing.

00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:01.279
I love it, it's different, it's really fun.

00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:04.559
How how's like joint-wise and stuff?

00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:09.360
Um how's that like with a workout like that?

00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:10.159
Those things.

00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:12.639
Oh that for for that, it's amazing.

00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:14.320
Yeah, 80% less impact.

00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:19.679
Yeah, so I have a couple clients that wear knee braces, they can do that class no problem, but they can't do the other things.

00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:22.799
What's the age range of your uh clients?

00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:30.000
Right now, I would say the majority of mine are gonna probably be 30 to 65.

00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:32.240
Okay, yeah.

00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:36.559
10 years ago when we opened the bar, I the the young ones loved me.

00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:38.559
Now I'm like getting too old for them, I think.

00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:41.600
Does that help with like fascial release and stuff?

00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:44.639
The bouncing, yeah, yeah, for sure.

00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:45.759
I'd imagine so.

00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:46.080
Yeah.

00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:51.600
I mean, they're they're like a little nerdy, but I love that.

00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:53.120
It doesn't bother me.

00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:56.639
Uh if it's helping with your health, that's like it's all good.

00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:00.159
And then you become that like nerdy bouncy girl, and then people expect it.

00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:03.919
So it's how about stability-wise, like they're good.

00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:12.000
So as long as you keep your body centered, yeah, and don't do any crazy like leaning, yeah, you know, or kicking out and getting off balance.

00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:13.200
I'd imagine you won't fall.

00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:21.679
Well, your core, you're probably engaging your core, your balance, I mean your your it's muscle toning, your endurance.

00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:33.120
And I think the more you like do that, like we've talked about this in the past, yeah, like that also helps with longevity in the mind, where like it like fights off dementia.

00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:41.360
Like if if you if you lose balance on a regular basis, you're most likely gonna lose memory too.

00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:44.960
Well, Tony Robbins always talks about jumping on a trampoline, yeah.

00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:50.480
Like before this is pretty much yeah, he jumps on a trampoline even on stage.

00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:54.320
He usually takes one on stage with him and he jumps on a trampoline.

00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:56.799
And honestly, it you feel like a kid.

00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:02.159
I it's it's a great way to, it's not easy, but it's like so fun that you forget how hard it is.

00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:07.120
Yeah, the club my class is only 30 minutes long, it's like enough, but we get we go perform now, yeah.

00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:13.919
Like we're gonna have a witch's paddle, so there will be a bunch of people dressed as witches paddling down the lake this weekend, and we're performing.

00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:15.360
We're like the act that's performing.

00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:19.279
We're gonna take this Salem Salem mess.

00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:24.320
We have to take this witches paddle, like go full, like hardcore.

00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:27.759
This is where where it happened, this is where the witches died for this.

00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:30.080
It's uh it's a trip, the witches paddle.

00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:31.519
Yeah, yeah.

00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:41.919
I I just saw something about like this witch cult that was like kind of crazy today, and like one of the real I'm like, I don't even know how this showed up on my feeds.

00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:45.279
Sure, you don't know there was like a lot of things.

00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:52.000
See, this lady was talking about like they had some guy, like dead guy, and they were eating him.

00:14:52.159 --> 00:15:08.720
This like satanic cult that and she was a witch, and like she was talking about like she freaked out and they tried to give her a drink and she wouldn't take it, and they just had the sky filleted open like in the middle of the house or whatever they were at.

00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:15.039
Yeah, they were like someone was eating the tongue, and you watched it then, huh?

00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:26.080
I was like, this is kind of freaking crazy because she was just talking about it, and I'm like, holy shit, this is I don't know, I was somewhere in the UK you could probably see someone doing it.

00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:39.600
Speaking personally, that must have been freshly dead corpse you can't you can't be chewing on somebody's tongue if it's been dead for more than 24 hours.

00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:41.120
Yeah, oh yeah.

00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:44.159
Oh yeah.

00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:46.320
No, don't say that.

00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:49.600
Oh, you like animals won't eat dead, you know.

00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:56.080
You don't want you don't want to eat a if a vote you don't want to eat a dead dead steak, you know, you don't want to eat a steak that's been left out.

00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:59.120
Yeah, I'll go to Shiv Dinner Club if I want that.

00:15:59.360 --> 00:15:59.919
Yeah.

00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:06.399
Yeah, they'll you know, like that's the stuff that you get 50% off at the supermarket, you know.

00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:08.399
So the day after.

00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:10.399
Yeah.

00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:16.799
Well, in Hawaii, it's like their normal meat's pretty much like left out too too long.

00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:21.039
It's already like turning dry dry aged.

00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:24.240
Yeah.

00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:31.840
So what are some of the supplements that you recommend or like your So I take a multivitamin every day?

00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:37.679
I take a fish oil, yeah, coQ10, um, calcium, yeah, magnesium.

00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:42.799
Um on that point, do you consume any dairy?

00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:47.679
Not a lot, a little bit, and and like very little.

00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:54.159
Like sometimes I'll make I make a protein pizza, and so there'll be dairy in the crust of that, but I don't do a lot of dairy.

00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:57.120
I'm just asking just understand your balance.

00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:02.559
But I what I was let's let's have her go through her daily routines.

00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:03.360
My supplements.

00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:04.160
I'm trying to think.

00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:06.640
So those are the ones how about creatine, any creatine?

00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:07.920
Oh, yeah, creatine every morning.

00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:17.039
So my pre my morning drink with my workout is creatine um or pre-workout and then um electricity.

00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:18.240
What's in your pre-workout?

00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:19.519
A little bit of crack.

00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:23.440
Last time I took pre-workout was I was just like, oh my god.

00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:25.599
It doesn't have the niacin in it.

00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:27.039
Mine doesn't have that tingle.

00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:31.599
Usually it's the citrulline um that gives you the tingle, tingle.

00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:31.839
Okay.

00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:32.799
I don't have that in there.

00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:33.359
I don't like that.

00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:33.680
Yeah.

00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:35.519
And then it feels horrible.

00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:38.559
I'm like, uh, when's this gonna end so I can work out?

00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:39.519
It's like itchy.

00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:42.240
So what are your meals like throughout the day then?

00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:44.319
It so I can eat the same thing every day.

00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:46.319
I don't have to, but just easy for me.

00:17:46.480 --> 00:17:48.079
So I'll do like my breakfast.

00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:53.519
I told you guys what my breakfast was, and my lunch would be my lunch and dinner are the same, usually like a good carb.

00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:55.920
I work on like balance with everything.

00:17:56.079 --> 00:17:58.160
So good carbs, good fats, good protein.

00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:03.039
So I'll do a lean protein and then tons of veggies, any kind of veggies I love.

00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:04.799
What's good carbs?

00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:07.039
Because I have a hard time with good carbs.

00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:14.880
Yeah, so I usually will recommend like quinoa, um brown rice, black rice, jasmine rice, oats.

00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:18.960
So I'll do oats in the morning, sweet potatoes, butternut squash.

00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:20.079
Those are like my go-tos.

00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:22.880
Pretty much like high glycemic index.

00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:23.839
Okay.

00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:26.640
And then not bleached, right?

00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:28.880
So the jasmine rice is we can get it.

00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:31.200
I do that a lot just because you can cook it so fast.

00:18:31.359 --> 00:18:31.519
Yeah.

00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:33.039
But those are like my go-tos.

00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:35.039
And then I love chicken and turkey.

00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:36.079
That's probably my biggest thing.

00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:36.400
Fish.

00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:38.240
I like fish, but it has to be fresh.

00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:38.640
Yeah.

00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:42.240
I I eat a lot of leftovers, so I don't like cold fish.

00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:46.240
I will do that when I compete, and I kind of am over that.

00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:47.599
Yeah.

00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:50.960
And then dinner will be the same, and then I do my shake right before bed.

00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:55.359
How much lighter are you in weight than you are now when you compete?

00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:59.200
Honestly, I could do a show this weekend, so I'll stay the same.

00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:00.720
That's what I could see.

00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:05.519
Would it be like mostly like sucking water weight?

00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:09.119
I didn't even the last two shows I did, I didn't even cut water.

00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:15.680
I literally showed up and I actually ate a little bit more to be a little fuller.

00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:17.119
Rodmere used to do.

00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:19.200
He There's so many different ways you can do it.

00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:22.720
The way I do it is like really odd and different.

00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:27.359
Um, you're at your best because that's what you are every day.

00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:29.359
Yeah, so for me, it's like lifestyle.

00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:33.839
So it's not anything crazy when I go do a show, and this I just choose to have it that way.

00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:39.119
So I don't Do you feel weird that you're not here in a bikini?

00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:40.880
No, but I love bikinis.

00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:42.960
I would have done it if I if I needed to.

00:19:43.119 --> 00:19:44.319
It's my most favorite thing ever.

00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:47.039
Yeah.

00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:48.160
I love it.

00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:48.559
Yeah.

00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:50.160
That's why I think I love Lake Cavassy.

00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:51.519
You can wear those everywhere.

00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:59.759
Yeah, I had moved away from drinking milk, but then I'm like, as I give more and more milk to my kids, I'm like, I'm like, why?

00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:01.839
Am I canceling dairy out one?

00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:04.880
And then I'm replacing with like these protein powders.

00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:09.279
And I'm like, might as well drink the pure, like, you know, grass fed milk.

00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:12.799
Um, I think, you know, you're gonna get the protein, the fats.

00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:17.519
And we should just buy some cows that can suck right from the otter.

00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:20.319
No, I that that's what that's the way I've thought about it.

00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:24.720
Now I'm like, I gotta introduce milk because we used to drink tons of milk when we were kids.

00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:35.279
Yeah, oh, we were we were told like you like we could we could barely afford it, but like if you don't drink three glasses of milk, you're gonna we had it delivered, yeah.

00:20:35.359 --> 00:20:37.839
You're gonna so gross, and it was whole milk.

00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:39.119
Yeah, yep, yeah.

00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:46.480
Yeah, like that that's all I get for my kids, and I'm like, you know, I started you know, putting in my coffee and drinking more of it.

00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:52.640
I'm like I'm like, I'm using protein powders, which is similar stuff, but this is pure stuff.

00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:53.839
So yeah.

00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:55.039
And I don't have issues.

00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:03.599
You can't take enough to help you out.

00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:17.519
Yeah, I have like like this whole my whole arm breaks out, like it's all over my chest, even my face, and anytime I consume a ton of dairy, like it breaks out like hardcore.

00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:26.319
But I've been taking the BPC like for about four weeks now, and like all my skins looked so much better.

00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:28.480
And I told them for like three years, yeah.

00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:32.079
Like you, yeah.

00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:39.039
I was just like, okay, if I take BPC but have some alcohol, it's definitely gonna make me feel like crap.

00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:50.480
Uh but I I started, it's like the first time in honestly, like 25 years where my skin's like gradually getting better every day.

00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:51.839
So you know that's it.

00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:55.599
Yeah, not just like not getting worse, but getting better at the time.

00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:02.480
Because it's so anti-inflammatory, you don't you don't flake as much, and like it pretty much gets rid of all the flaking and everything.

00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:11.359
Yeah, um, because and you know, some of the stuff in there's like antibacterial as well as anti-inflammatory.

00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:20.880
So I think overall it's like yeah, no matter what these people say, it's like I've seen it with you know, my brother had allergies and he started taking it.

00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:27.599
He's like, I think I can go down on my allergy meds and then like trying different things, like even methylene blue.

00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:33.519
Methylene blue kind of energizes you, but also like gets rid of fungus, viral, viral.

00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:36.640
He's also had like yeah, I've been hearing about that one.

00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:39.039
Yeah, he's had crazy reactions.

00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:42.079
He stepped on a bunch of sea urchins in St.

00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:44.880
Martin, yeah, and had an anaphylactic shock.

00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:48.400
And ever since then, he's been like hyperimmune to everything.

00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:53.920
With like the point where, like, and he I think his We thought it was mental for a while.

00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:59.119
Well, then the place he was at in the Caribbean, too, his apartment.

00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:03.279
He might have had Legionella in the in the air conditioner because he didn't.

00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:05.519
Either way, he spent three years going like this.

00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:06.400
Yeah.

00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:10.240
Oh my dude, this is not like normal.

00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:14.640
Well, I kicked him out of my house because he was living with me when he was in training.

00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:16.480
My wife's like, I can't do this.

00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:19.519
He would like we would hear him across the house.

00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:21.039
Oh, how sick, yeah.

00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:22.079
Not even him.

00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:26.240
My other brother and I thought it was just like a psychologic disorder.

00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:28.960
We're like, he actually doesn't have anything wrong.

00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:31.279
He's used to doing that so much.

00:23:31.759 --> 00:23:32.720
Oh my gosh.

00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:35.839
But he's finally getting it under control, which is nice.

00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:44.160
But but I think we we've created a new supplement and we're working with one of the influencers about bringing it out, and we're trialing it right now.

00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:49.119
And I think that's also like along with the BPC, like changes in skin.

00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:51.839
I think it does improve skin, hair.

00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:54.960
Um, and then also like sleep.

00:23:55.119 --> 00:24:14.000
I think I get like no matter if I sleep five hours, six hours, nine hours, it like you get this like incredible deep sleep that I I was, you know, I was hitting the one hour, but now it's like like some nights I'm up to like two hours, and like it's totally changed it.

00:24:14.079 --> 00:24:14.559
Yeah, yeah.

00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:17.519
Rest of heart rate or no, no, two hours of deep sleep.

00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:18.160
Oh, okay.

00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:23.519
Like even if I'm sleeping six hours, I'm getting like two hours of deep recovery.

00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:25.279
We'll be selling it shortly.

00:24:25.359 --> 00:24:26.079
Yeah, hopefully.

00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:27.039
That's cool.

00:24:27.200 --> 00:25:00.640
Yeah, and and and it's you know, I combined a lot of things that I was already taking into like I was like, I don't want to take all this stuff and like uh to hydrate ourselves too, and put it in 64 ounces of water so you're drinking it throughout the day, or usually I finish it within like a couple hours in the morning, but it's got your multivitamins, it's got longevity stuff, it's got NMN, it's got um whole bunch of all the essential aminos, and it's not like athletic greens that has a little bit of this, a little bit of that.

00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:06.319
Yeah, we have 130 ingredients, but none of them are actually to effective doses.

00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:33.039
These are like almost everything's to effective doses, and as we make new additions, we're gonna bring more stuff in there to full like the creatine is underdosed in this, but like we're definitely gonna work on increasing the amount of creatine um in there because I was I think like Dana Patrick was talking about, you know, like five five grams of creatine is gonna, you know, that's gonna feed your muscles.

00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:38.960
Your muscles usually eat up the creatine pretty fast, um, but it does cross the brain blood brain.

00:25:39.680 --> 00:25:39.920
Uh-huh.

00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:40.480
Five grams.

00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:41.759
I was curious what you were gonna say.

00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:43.920
So that's what I aim for a day.

00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:51.920
So if if you're looking for the cognitive benefits, you're supposed to take more, like uh like 10 grams.

00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:56.559
Your muscles are gonna grab most of it, but then um some of it will go to your brain.

00:25:57.599 --> 00:25:58.400
That's what I'm looking at here.

00:25:58.720 --> 00:26:01.519
Yeah, how much you if I'm taking five, you should be taking 10.

00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:02.640
Yeah, okay.

00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:04.319
For for these biceps.

00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:04.880
Yeah.

00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:06.160
But you know what?

00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:10.000
On that note, I feel like it did help me when I started taking it.

00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:10.240
Yeah.

00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:11.519
Because that's newer for me.

00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:13.839
Physically, mentally, or both?

00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:14.880
Physically for sure.

00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:16.319
Physically, yeah, yeah.

00:26:16.559 --> 00:26:23.119
Yeah, I took it, you know, like when I was in meth, like before getting into like 1998, 2000.

00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:25.039
High school you were taking creature.

00:26:25.359 --> 00:26:34.720
No, I like high school, I was like trying to stay natural, and then like in college, I started doing like protein and lots of foods.

00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:35.359
Yeah.

00:26:35.599 --> 00:26:39.680
Well, like even in college, it was like just eating a ton.

00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:48.160
Uh, I did drink way too much, but um but then I started using supplements because my mom was so protective, like you couldn't touch anything.

00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:53.599
Oh, glutamine was one nitrous glutamine, glycine.

00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:57.599
I think the glycine is why you get such good rest with the supplement.

00:26:57.839 --> 00:26:58.160
Okay.

00:26:58.319 --> 00:26:58.960
Yeah.

00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:26.240
Um but yeah, like I took creatine a lot, but like it was I I was on and off it, and like for years, people said, like, oh, you're gonna have kidney failure, you're gonna gain this water weight and lose all your butt like now it's like most people are like that's like something you gotta have in your supplements that I was nervous about the whole gaining because I was like, man, if I start putting my clients on this and they start gaining weight, these women, yeah, they're gonna jump off a bridge, you know.

00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:37.039
The main thing is if they're regimented or if we're regimented, like this is what we're doing on a daily basis, and adding it onto that is additive.

00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:46.079
But like if I'm going to like just go and drink like half a liter of vodka, yeah, like that it's it's probably not beneficial.

00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:54.240
It might actually be beneficial to have some creatine, but like it's like what what are you trying to gain from here?

00:27:54.480 --> 00:27:58.000
Yeah, like you're still like beating yourself up.

00:27:58.160 --> 00:28:00.880
Like if you're gonna optimize, let's optimize.

00:28:01.359 --> 00:28:05.599
And don't you guys feel like it should be a daily thing, not just like once in a yeah, I agree.

00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:08.160
Yeah, at least five out of seven days.

00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:14.799
Yeah, I I personally think five out of seven days minimum to actually get a benefit from anything like that.

00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:21.200
Yeah, even like you said, Peter Atia is like, oh, supplements don't mean anything if you're not working out.

00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:28.880
Like that that makes you seem like you have to be training to have any benefits from supplements.

00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:33.920
Well, even some of the physicians, they're like, oh, you don't need a multivitamin, it's all in your food.

00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:35.680
But look at people's diets.

00:28:35.839 --> 00:28:51.440
Like, I eat pretty healthy, but like, look at most people, they're not eating whole foods, it's usually processed, and even like we're you're buying non-organic foods or you know, non-grass-fed meats, you're not getting like the vitamins and minerals that you actually need.

00:28:51.599 --> 00:28:53.440
So you do need to supplement it.

00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:59.759
And it's gotten worse and worse as the soils have gotten worse and they don't have the nutrients that they used to.

00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:17.279
You could eat an apple and think it's good, but you know, it's got glyphosate, it's got wax on it, it's you know, it's been on the shelf for nine months, and everything's genetically modified to grow bigger, like just appease, tastes different, yeah.

00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:20.000
Like that's what's freaky.

00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:25.759
Like when you go to choose grapes and they're like Jolly Rancher grapes and like the different tastes.

00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:27.839
I'm like, oh, I'm definitely not buying that stuff.

00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:31.359
Yeah, like we're watching the chef's table.

00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:42.559
Like this from like years ago, it was like one of the first uh episodes, and it was like one of the guys that got the whole farm to table like thing going.

00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:57.119
It was just like people don't realize it's like it's it's from the farming, it's from how things are raised, like like oats are really good for you, but like the way oats are now, they are not, yeah.

00:29:57.359 --> 00:30:03.039
And not just that, like you can taste the difference between what's good for you and what's not, yeah.

00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:35.759
And that's like 60% your diet is are these like oats, wheat, uh like grains that come from the soil, but like you've just been like the industry's been trained to grow and feed you this stuff that you want, and like it's a negative cycle where like you if you actually seek the better stuff, it tastes better, it's better for you, and it it you're just gonna live a healthier life.

00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:40.880
And knowing what you know, like I think with fruits and stuff, you gotta know what's in season too.

00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:50.319
And like don't get stuff that's out of season because it's like artificially grown or grow like unless you're in Costa Rica in any whatever any time of the year.

00:30:51.839 --> 00:30:56.559
Yeah, because like one of the things I fight with my wife, she likes to go to AJ's.

00:30:56.720 --> 00:31:17.039
I'm like, AJ's is for like if you want like nice olive oil or like good cheese or something like that, but like for fruits and veget vegetables, like yeah, they get some exotic fruits and stuff, but like a lot of their fruits and vegetables, they're organic sections like this big, and you don't have much to choose from.

00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:29.359
And I like Whole Foods because you have all these organic products, and like I I chat GPT'd what like it means to be organic, and like they go through pretty extensive stuff.

00:31:29.519 --> 00:31:38.559
Like the farms have to be three years, the soil has to be, you know, certain type of soil and certain fertilizer fertilizers and dirt.

00:31:38.720 --> 00:32:04.720
So I'm like, this is this is the reason that you need to just be organic, and no matter what, even though like there's 12, you know, like oranges, they don't they don't get the glyphosate or pesticides, but like still it's not gonna be as nutritious because if it's not like a passion fruit from the AJ's, yeah, and I didn't realize and like I looked at the receipt, like I paid six bucks a passion fruit.

00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:10.960
Like each one serves like one tablespoon of yeah, like their mango stenes, like twenty dollars.

00:32:11.119 --> 00:32:12.640
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:17.920
Um but yeah, um like I what are your favorite fruits?

00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:19.920
Yeah, I like berries.

00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:24.240
Blueberries are probably my favorite, yeah, raspberries, blackberries.

00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:44.240
Yeah, but those are like kind of hard like and the problem with Whole Foods is I don't think they do a good job at keeping fresh products on because a lot of the stuff seems like it's already seven days old and it's organic, and you get it sometimes it's already moldy, or like you take it all the time.

00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:46.000
You drive whole serving out of it.

00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:54.000
Or you're talking about you or no, I would I would never do like the pickup because I don't trust them with my produce.

00:32:54.160 --> 00:32:58.640
Yeah, like I'm like they they already don't do a good job putting it on the shelf.

00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:01.599
Forget about someone actually putting it into bags for you.

00:33:01.839 --> 00:33:07.279
So my my daughter did uh it was like a science project for like sixth grade.

00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:16.079
She tested out like because we were like, okay, let's see how long these pesticides keep like these berries fresh.

00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:20.400
Don't refrigerate them, just keep them on the counter.

00:33:21.200 --> 00:33:33.519
And the the funny thing is, like the stuff that's not refrigerated with pesticides within like two, three days went like just had fungus grown all over.

00:33:33.920 --> 00:33:40.799
The organic stuff went like seven to like ten days without like growing any fungus on it.

00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:55.200
Wow, which was I I was shocked because I was like, okay, if you're gonna add chemicals, it's to make sure it stays fresh and like looks good, but it's like within like three to four days from the same store, also.

00:33:57.119 --> 00:33:59.359
It's usually the total opposite, though.

00:33:59.519 --> 00:34:00.960
I I thought so too.

00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:05.359
Like that one little experiment, I was like, Oh, yeah.

00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:07.440
Oh, well, Whole Foods is different.

00:34:07.599 --> 00:34:18.159
Like, if you buy their organic and they're non-organic, the non non-organic, you can have it like three weeks later, and the organic try it out, try it out recently.

00:34:18.320 --> 00:34:20.320
After that thing, I tested out once.

00:34:20.639 --> 00:34:27.360
I'm telling you, like sometimes I buy the non-organic blueberries and they could sit in the fridge like forever, forever.

00:34:27.599 --> 00:34:32.559
The organic ones, like if you don't eat them within five days, they're the raspberries.

00:34:32.639 --> 00:34:36.000
Like, I'll I'll get like one day, and then I'm like, okay, they're moldy.

00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:39.280
Yeah, I definitely get everything organic.

00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:47.679
I'm just like, uh, they there's no all the benefits from actually eating this is like thrown out the window.

00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:56.800
If I well, don't you feel too that when you guys eat clean and organic, you feel fuller because you're you're getting the nutrients.

00:34:56.880 --> 00:34:58.320
Yeah, yeah, I agree.

00:34:59.280 --> 00:35:00.880
Yeah, it usually tastes better.

00:35:01.519 --> 00:35:08.400
But whole foods, like you know, I don't know, their food goes bad, so you're like, it's really organic.

00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:11.280
But a lot of times the flavor's not there.

00:35:11.360 --> 00:35:13.840
But like you always gotta look what's in season.

00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:18.159
If it's not in season, like you know, it's not gonna be good.

00:35:21.119 --> 00:35:22.880
Yeah, pumpkin season.

00:35:23.199 --> 00:35:24.320
Pumpkin spice latte.

00:35:24.639 --> 00:35:26.480
PSL squash.

00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:28.639
No, squash is great.

00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:34.079
I personally hate fall like flavors and stuff.

00:35:34.400 --> 00:35:40.880
Like my wife daughter love it, but like pumpkin spice, squash, all that stuff.

00:35:41.039 --> 00:35:41.760
I don't know why.

00:35:41.840 --> 00:35:43.119
I've never liked it.

00:35:43.280 --> 00:35:49.119
Yeah, and it's a weird flavor because I'm always like, oh, this stuff should be good.

00:35:49.199 --> 00:35:52.559
And like I try it and I'm like, why did I get pumpkin spice?

00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:56.079
I'm like, um it's not very sweet, it is a different flavor.

00:35:56.719 --> 00:36:01.360
It's almost like a bitter cinnamon or something, right?

00:36:01.519 --> 00:36:01.920
Yeah.

00:36:04.239 --> 00:36:11.360
So workouts, food, we discussed any form of biohacking you're into, cold plunges, red light that we're gonna do.

00:36:11.519 --> 00:36:13.760
Well, actually, like workout routine.

00:36:14.079 --> 00:36:17.440
What do you do for a workout routine?

00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:31.519
Like, let's say, like on a seven-day basis, like how many days of resistance training, how many days of cardio, like how much time and and how you divide that all up?

00:36:31.840 --> 00:36:34.239
So I just like group fitness.

00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:35.599
I like to be around people.

00:36:35.840 --> 00:36:50.719
So I don't really have a structure where I have to get a certain amount, but it would kind of like with my flow, it ends up being, I would say, like 15, 20 minutes of cardio, typically, like with the stairs and the bounce class would be like 30 minutes of cardio.

00:36:50.960 --> 00:36:55.360
Um, the resistance training, those are typically like 30-minute classes that we'll do.

00:36:55.519 --> 00:36:57.039
And I'll usually lead those.

00:36:57.199 --> 00:36:58.800
So sometimes it's banded.

00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:04.400
Um, it might be absent booty, might be push-ups and squats and step-ups and maybe little dumbbells.

00:37:04.480 --> 00:37:09.360
Or if I take group classes, it would be like they usually incorporate like a little bit of weight training.

00:37:09.599 --> 00:37:14.880
The gym, though, the actual like gym, I don't really go to the gym and go lift ever.

00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:18.079
It's it's like high high intensity.

00:37:18.400 --> 00:37:19.199
High intensity, yeah.

00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:20.239
That's typically what I do.

00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:22.559
Okay, keep the heart rate going the whole time.

00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:23.039
Yep.

00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:25.360
Get little light breaks in between.

00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:31.840
And I do like in Habasu, when when I move out there permanently, I'll run a couple times on the beach.

00:37:32.000 --> 00:37:35.760
I just did a race, um, like a 10K scramble.

00:37:35.840 --> 00:37:38.800
So it was like an elevated hike with some rock climbing.

00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:39.840
I've never done anything like that.

00:37:40.159 --> 00:37:42.000
So I was hunger game style?

00:37:42.159 --> 00:37:43.920
No, not that, not that intense.

00:37:44.320 --> 00:37:48.239
But um, so I was preparing for that and I would run a mountain every Sunday.

00:37:48.400 --> 00:37:50.480
That's not my norm though, to do that.

00:37:50.639 --> 00:37:52.559
But I'm to train for that, I did that.

00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:54.880
So what's your on-off schedule?

00:37:54.960 --> 00:37:59.360
Do you take off days or it's like uh okay, I'm kind of like yeah.

00:37:59.519 --> 00:38:02.159
Well, it because I'm coordinating the routine.

00:38:02.480 --> 00:38:05.360
So I'll just, you know, if I did legs the next day, I'll do upper body.

00:38:05.599 --> 00:38:07.039
Yeah, you know, no office.

00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:12.320
If I went to the gym, I'd probably have more of like a structure like that, but I feel like I just get a little bit of everything.

00:38:12.639 --> 00:38:13.760
Do you take like no off days?

00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:14.239
Do you go in?

00:38:14.559 --> 00:38:16.960
Yeah, I I really don't take off days.00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:18.159


It's her business.00:38:18.400 --> 00:38:19.920


No, I know, no, it makes sense.00:38:20.320 --> 00:38:21.199


Like it's a good thing.00:38:21.280 --> 00:38:22.320


I sometimes get into it.00:38:24.400 --> 00:38:26.719


But but I don't take off days.00:38:26.800 --> 00:38:28.079


And I'm super competitive too.00:38:28.239 --> 00:38:34.719


So it's like if I'm in there by myself and I always like find someone that I want to like compete with silently.00:38:35.039 --> 00:38:36.960


Do you do any yoga or stretching?00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:37.920


Yeah, yeah.00:38:38.159 --> 00:38:44.960


I I do my stretching and rolling every morning, and then um yoga, I don't do as much as I should.00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:50.159


I used to do it all the time, but I would say like maybe three times a month.00:38:50.320 --> 00:38:51.360


I should do it once a week.00:38:51.519 --> 00:38:52.079


It's pretty good.00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:55.679


Yeah, that's yeah, but that's probably what I need more than anything.00:38:56.000 --> 00:39:00.239


So any form of biohacking or anything, like red lights, plunges, or anything?00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:03.760


Um, I have the leg sleeves, so I like to do those a lot.00:39:03.920 --> 00:39:06.079


I have ne I don't think I've ever done red light.00:39:06.239 --> 00:39:08.159


Yeah, I have coal plunge once.00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:12.880


Yeah, thankfully, um, they were closing and I had to get out right away, which was I was not mad about.00:39:13.199 --> 00:39:14.400


How long did you do it for?00:39:14.800 --> 00:39:15.360


Two minutes.00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:15.920


Okay.00:39:16.079 --> 00:39:17.119


That was not my favorite.00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:17.679


Yeah.00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:19.599


Um, cryo, I've done that.00:39:19.679 --> 00:39:19.920


Yeah.00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:22.400


I actually did that when I was going through that nerve stuff.00:39:22.480 --> 00:39:24.239


So I did that every day for a month.00:39:24.480 --> 00:39:24.800


Okay.00:39:25.119 --> 00:39:26.800


And people asked if it helped.00:39:26.880 --> 00:39:29.280


I would say it helped because I think I left their numb.00:39:29.360 --> 00:39:29.519


Yeah.00:39:29.679 --> 00:39:31.679


And then as soon as it wore off, it the pain came.00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:38.480


Yeah, I think that's like the cryotherapy, like without the cold plunge, I think it's totally different.00:39:38.719 --> 00:39:59.760


And just like um like I was listening to that podcast, they were talking about uh the hot tubs for men, like you know, testicular function, and uh they were talking about IV IVF and um and like if you're in a hot tub that's not good because overall temperatures raise.00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:06.639


But if you're like in a sauna, that's dry air, so that heat doesn't convert just like the water heat is.00:40:08.559 --> 00:40:21.679


So like it's not as good to be in like you could be in a sauna, it won't affect like how your sperm functions as compared to if you're going to a hot tub three, four times a week, it's not good for you.00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:29.280


So I just heard something about the cold plunge that women should not be as cold as the guys.00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:30.320


So that's another thing.00:40:30.400 --> 00:40:35.840


Like when you go and it's 34 degrees, they were saying women should be 50 for it to be effective.00:40:36.159 --> 00:40:40.000


Yeah, and but even for men, they say it doesn't need to be that cold.00:40:40.079 --> 00:40:41.199


Yeah, like it doesn't need to be.00:40:41.760 --> 00:40:46.639


Yeah, people are just like I think it's just the people kind of mess of it, push it.00:40:46.800 --> 00:40:46.960


Yeah.00:40:47.119 --> 00:40:51.440


And like how how healthy it is, how long you do it for.00:40:51.840 --> 00:40:54.079


Yeah, it's like it's all over the place, you know.00:40:54.480 --> 00:40:58.559


And that's why I really haven't gotten too much into it every once in a while.00:40:58.719 --> 00:41:03.119


If I have like aches and pains, I'll like you know, during the winter time, I'll jump in my pool.00:41:03.360 --> 00:41:05.519


I'll have an actual four push-ups.00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:14.000


If I really believed in it, I probably would have a tank at home, but yeah, you know, it's not like an end-all be all um that is.00:41:14.320 --> 00:41:15.199


Yeah, it's not my favorite.00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:16.480


Yeah, I don't like it.00:41:16.559 --> 00:41:17.519


It's definitely not my favorite.00:41:17.599 --> 00:41:20.239


I did it, I've only done a couple times.00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:32.639


The first time I I did it like at our gym, like went like three minutes, and then the next time some guy was next to me, and like right when I got out, he's like, Oh, how long do you do this for?00:41:32.719 --> 00:41:34.559


I was like, Oh, I just did it six minutes.00:41:34.639 --> 00:41:37.360


So, oh, I only do this three minutes.00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:41.440


Like, this is one of the coldest cold plunges.00:41:41.519 --> 00:41:42.480


I was like, What do you mean?00:41:42.639 --> 00:41:48.559


I was like, I I have no idea, yeah, like what this temperature is compared to other cold plunge.00:41:48.800 --> 00:41:51.760


He's like, Yeah, this is a really cold cold plunge.00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:56.480


So I asked him in the front, he's like, Oh yeah, we keep it at like 35 degrees.00:41:56.639 --> 00:42:03.519


Yeah, and I went there for like six minutes and it felt like pins and needles all over my whole body.00:42:03.679 --> 00:42:22.239


I just like, oh, this actually feels so nuts that I was just like, I kind of like that feeling, but I definitely look like a weirdo because I got out and it was just like it does smell like pins and needles, and then they say not to get warm after to just naturally that's just not fun for me.00:42:22.480 --> 00:42:29.519


But you're supposed, you know, like in in like Finland and stuff, they're doing sauna, hot tub, sauna, hot tub back and forth.00:42:29.760 --> 00:42:30.159


Yeah, yeah.00:42:30.320 --> 00:42:56.159


Um, and like, you know, some people are like you shouldn't co cold plunge before working out or like after working out because you're you know, you're trying to build well, you could do it before, and like how much time between because when you're trying to build muscle, you don't want to like kick, you know, kill your inflammatory process that you are your body's trying to build muscle, and you're gonna you you know you're not gonna gain muscle save or something.00:42:56.559 --> 00:43:00.000


I know, like I just feel like I'm building muscle without cold plunging fine.00:43:00.559 --> 00:43:12.480


First time I went in the cold plunge because it was like, oh, just go in the go in the hot tub before you go in the gold cold plunge because you'll be able to tolerate a little better.00:43:12.719 --> 00:43:52.159


And I went in the um sauna for like 10 minutes, jumped in the cold plunge for three minutes, went back in the sauna for 10 minutes, and my my resting heart rate that night on the sleep monitor thing was like in the high 50s, and I haven't been able to break like low 70s, so I'm usually like high 70s, and it went like 58 that night, and then like it gradually kind of climbed up like it the residual effects.00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:56.000


I I can't like attribute it to like anything else I did.00:43:56.159 --> 00:43:59.119


I didn't do anything else, yeah, like out of the norm.00:43:59.280 --> 00:44:06.320


So it was like 58, like 62, 67, and then back up into the 70s.00:44:06.559 --> 00:44:20.639


And then I I tried to repeat it, even that time I I spent like five minutes, six minutes in the cold plunge, yeah, and my resting heart rate never dropped like that low, or never had that effect.00:44:21.039 --> 00:44:45.920


And this last week, like I didn't do the cold plunge, but did like 15 minutes in the sauna, went and did a light like resistance workout, went back in the sauna 15 minutes and heart rate dropped back to like the low 60s for like two, three days, and then started climbing back up.00:44:46.559 --> 00:44:48.239


So you're seeing benefits.00:44:48.480 --> 00:45:01.119


So yeah, it also like when I don't drink the night before, yeah, that that drops my resting heart rate at least at least 10 beats a minute.00:45:01.519 --> 00:45:27.039


And it's just like, okay, how much harm am I doing with like one drink, two drinks, three drinks, like this like legit poison like I'm ingesting because it it it that will have a 10 heartbeat like difference, and then like doing sauna like calisthenics, like we'll drop another five to ten points.00:45:28.000 --> 00:45:30.800


I I think that's anecdotal data for me.00:45:31.039 --> 00:45:36.320


Uh if I eat a steak, my heart rate is up like in the eighties at rest.00:45:37.519 --> 00:45:45.440


Like even if I eat it at six o'clock at night or eight o'clock at night, it like never goes down until like later on in the night.00:45:45.679 --> 00:45:49.840


It's like I my body has such a hard time breaking down meat.00:45:50.239 --> 00:45:50.800


I do too.00:45:51.199 --> 00:45:52.639


I I eat it anyway.00:45:52.719 --> 00:45:59.119


So it's like you know, I I can eat chicken, but it look I love my steaks every once in a while.00:45:59.280 --> 00:46:04.719


But I notice I'm like up my heart rate's up in the 80s, like when I look at my data.00:46:04.960 --> 00:46:14.800


It's kind of crazy when like you're actually paying attention to this stuff, and like your heart rate's in the 80s, and you look at it and you're like, holy shit, I'm having a fucking heart attack right now.00:46:14.960 --> 00:46:16.880


I gotta get this shit under control.00:46:17.199 --> 00:46:18.639


Yeah, that's nuts.00:46:18.960 --> 00:46:21.920


What else do you do to uh wind down?00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:29.440


Any favorite vacation spots, meditation things you do that people might not know you do?00:46:29.679 --> 00:46:32.559


Um meditations more in the morning.00:46:32.800 --> 00:46:37.679


I honestly, I think I just go, go, go all day that it's very easy for me to wind down.00:46:37.840 --> 00:46:38.079


Yeah.00:46:38.320 --> 00:46:44.800


You know, I have never tested the REM sleep, and I would be curious, but I could fall asleep standing up.00:46:44.880 --> 00:46:45.119


Yeah.00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:54.639


I mean, the second I get home and I'm done, I'll check all my emails and my social media again one more time and just I do a lot of follow-ups with my clients, and that's like super important.00:46:54.719 --> 00:46:56.159


I have my little schedule that I do that.00:46:56.239 --> 00:47:02.239


So I want to make sure that I get that done, and then the second I kick my feet up, I always have my shake right before I go to bed.00:47:02.320 --> 00:47:05.039


That's like my favorite meal of the day, my protein shake.00:47:05.679 --> 00:47:07.760


You have the shake right before you go to bed.00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:11.679


Yes, and I should wait an hour or two, but I don't because I'm so tired.00:47:11.760 --> 00:47:14.880


So they they kind of say you have in your night nighttime shake.00:47:15.119 --> 00:47:17.440


So it's ice and water and then powder.00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:24.239


So yeah, the protein powder, but I make it like really thick and eat it with a spoon, like I'm eating ice cream.00:47:24.320 --> 00:47:27.280


It's kind of like when someone has a glass of wine to wind down.00:47:27.360 --> 00:47:27.519


Yeah.00:47:27.679 --> 00:47:31.199


I go home, kick my shoes off, make my shake sit on the couch, and you can't.00:47:31.360 --> 00:47:38.400


You train yourself that like that's your that's it's time to and it's honestly when everyone leaves.00:47:38.480 --> 00:47:40.079


Like if people are over, I wait.00:47:40.239 --> 00:47:42.320


Like if everyone has a shake, I wait till they leave.00:47:42.400 --> 00:47:43.840


It's like my okay, I'm done with this.00:47:45.119 --> 00:47:50.960


What's your go- then you're like, I'm gonna have this shake and then I'm like, it's gotta go.00:47:51.199 --> 00:47:52.800


What's your go-to protein?00:47:53.360 --> 00:47:54.480


Um it's herbalife.00:47:55.360 --> 00:47:57.360


So it's a plant-based one that we have different ones.00:47:57.440 --> 00:48:04.639


There's a whey-based one, and I like that for after a workout, but it doesn't, um, whey doesn't agree with me as well as the plant-based ones.00:48:04.880 --> 00:48:07.679


But you mix both, you have whey and you have to do it.00:48:07.760 --> 00:48:12.159


So I'll do the whey after a workout, yeah, different, and then I'll do the plant-based one right before bed.00:48:12.320 --> 00:48:12.559


Yeah.00:48:12.719 --> 00:48:14.880


Yeah, because how much can you bench press?00:48:15.119 --> 00:48:15.599


You know what?00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:16.559


I don't do chest press.00:48:17.360 --> 00:48:18.079


I don't do bench press.00:48:18.320 --> 00:48:19.599


Same thing about measuring your buttons.00:48:20.960 --> 00:48:24.000


I don't think I really live that heavy when I go to the gym.00:48:24.239 --> 00:48:24.960


I don't either.00:48:25.119 --> 00:48:25.360


Yeah.00:48:25.679 --> 00:48:26.159


Shocking.00:48:26.320 --> 00:48:26.639


Yeah.00:48:26.800 --> 00:48:36.719


And in my young days I did, but nowadays it's like, you know, one of our friends is like, he's an anesthesiologist, and he talks about like doing what what does he talk about?00:48:36.800 --> 00:48:44.159


Like about um like squat, like cleans, not squats, clean.00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:50.400


Oh, but he's he's doing like legit weight, but it's still not like what he was when he was like powerlifting.00:48:50.559 --> 00:48:51.039


Yeah.00:48:51.280 --> 00:48:54.079


Uh but he he does jujitsu.00:48:54.320 --> 00:48:59.519


I guess he still kind of competes in some of that stuff, so you you need some of that.00:48:59.760 --> 00:48:59.920


Yeah.00:49:00.239 --> 00:49:08.159


I have such a but I'm like, I even I don't want to ruin my joints because we yeah, I mostly do resistance bands, yeah.00:49:08.400 --> 00:49:13.519


And then like once or twice a week, I'll go to the gym and and put up weights.00:49:13.760 --> 00:49:17.199


Um, and it it's just for like maintenance.00:49:17.679 --> 00:49:27.199


And I like visiting Rod Mayor, like he was doing curls with like one of the heavier uh harambe belts, yeah.00:49:27.360 --> 00:49:29.440


And like the first night I was like, I can't do it.00:49:29.519 --> 00:49:33.920


He's like, dude, it's just like a mental thing, you just gotta get over that aspect.00:49:34.079 --> 00:49:36.639


And I was like, okay, I can do three of those.00:49:36.960 --> 00:49:43.599


So I've I've been going kind of heavy with that, but it's at home.00:49:43.760 --> 00:49:51.119


Most of my workouts are like 20 to 40 minutes tops, 40 minutes for legs, yeah, 20 minutes anything upper body.00:49:51.280 --> 00:50:05.440


I'm just like, I I actually feel better and I don't have like the joint pains, but I do go to the gym, and anytime I'm at the gym, I'm tempted to do stupid shit.00:50:05.679 --> 00:50:08.320


Or just like, oh let me let me go see.00:50:08.400 --> 00:50:10.559


Oh, this looks fucking heavy.00:50:10.719 --> 00:50:18.960


Let me go see if I can if I can incline press that, and I'm like, yeah, I could, but yeah, I I feel a pain.00:50:19.199 --> 00:50:21.360


I feel the same, like the joints and stuff when you start.00:50:21.760 --> 00:50:23.760


I feel like we don't need to do that as we age.00:50:23.840 --> 00:50:25.920


It's I'm like, I don't play football anymore.00:50:26.079 --> 00:50:27.280


Um like I'm not wrestling.00:50:27.760 --> 00:50:30.559


Not even that, like, even in what do I need to do cleans for?00:50:30.639 --> 00:50:33.119


You know, like in undergrad, I would like crossfit.00:50:33.519 --> 00:50:39.199


In undergrad, I would put on like an extra 25 pounds, be like, oh, okay, this like 275.00:50:39.360 --> 00:50:40.880


Impress the girls at the gym.00:50:41.199 --> 00:50:46.639


Like, nobody in here even knows how much weight is on this bar.00:50:46.800 --> 00:50:48.320


Who am I trying to impress?00:50:48.800 --> 00:50:52.639


I'm just like throwing out my shoulder, like I'm gonna just suffocate.00:50:53.119 --> 00:50:58.159


Yeah, I did CrossFit for a while, and like, yeah, just having that competitive edge.00:50:58.239 --> 00:51:02.800


It's like, you know, like just trying to compete with the younger people, and like same.00:51:02.960 --> 00:51:04.880


And I was always sore.00:51:05.039 --> 00:51:06.639


Yeah, and then they'd be like, Well, modify them.00:51:06.719 --> 00:51:09.440


Like, CrossFit is not like a modifying type workout.00:51:09.599 --> 00:51:11.039


I don't want to come here to modify CrossFit.00:51:11.280 --> 00:51:12.559


Oh, you have to perfect your form.00:51:12.639 --> 00:51:15.760


This is what everybody's talking about, you you need to just use good form.00:51:15.920 --> 00:51:17.760


I'm like, yeah, yeah, like snatches.00:51:18.239 --> 00:51:20.159


If you have a good coach, it makes a difference.00:51:20.239 --> 00:51:27.840


But like when I came from New York to here, New York, I had good coaches that would warm up and they were careful with it.00:51:28.000 --> 00:51:36.719


And I I went at the late class, so it was like more the older people than like whenever I went to the earlier classes competing with the younger people.00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:43.920


They're all over my shins, but it's just like you might not be doing the workout.00:51:44.239 --> 00:51:50.559


Yeah, they were more from like cleans because I'd keep the bar against my leg and just scrape it up and down.00:51:50.800 --> 00:52:00.880


Um, but like when I came to came here, it was like, you know, it wasn't really like the coaches didn't really warm you up.00:52:00.960 --> 00:52:05.840


You just they just told you to go run outside and then come back in, and then you started your workout.00:52:06.079 --> 00:52:07.760


Over there, they went through the movie.00:52:08.159 --> 00:52:09.360


I did it for five years.00:52:09.599 --> 00:52:10.239


I loved it.00:52:10.400 --> 00:52:12.480


I loved the short burst.00:52:12.639 --> 00:52:13.599


It was like 20 minutes.00:52:13.760 --> 00:52:15.840


You had a great workout, it just felt good.00:52:16.079 --> 00:52:17.840


I like felt like it's a good idea.00:52:18.719 --> 00:52:19.599


It never felt good.00:52:19.760 --> 00:52:21.119


I mean, that kind of stuff's fun.00:52:21.199 --> 00:52:24.480


Yeah, the endurance part of it I loved, and I learned a lot.00:52:24.639 --> 00:52:27.920


So, like when I would do a Spartan race or something, CrossFit came in handy.00:52:28.000 --> 00:52:30.960


Yes, some of the funky stuff that you would do, so I wouldn't get hurt.00:52:31.039 --> 00:52:32.480


Yeah, but I always was sore.00:52:32.639 --> 00:52:35.039


I just felt like I was always babying something.00:52:35.119 --> 00:52:39.920


And so when I gave it up, I was sad because I'm like, man, it was part of my I did it five days a week.00:52:40.079 --> 00:52:44.639


But I'll tell you what, I'm like oh, I'm going back because I feel so much better.00:52:49.039 --> 00:52:51.599


And I'm like, uh, I'm a surgeon, I can't be doing that.00:52:51.760 --> 00:52:57.440


Yeah, I just think it's cool, but it was it was time for me to but you think I could beat you in arm wrestling?00:52:57.519 --> 00:52:58.000


Probably, huh?00:52:58.159 --> 00:52:58.719


Yeah, probably.00:52:58.880 --> 00:53:00.239


I'm not gonna I wouldn't repeat that.00:53:00.400 --> 00:53:00.960


He's weak.00:53:01.119 --> 00:53:04.239


That's why I asked you about the measurements and how much you bench press.00:53:04.320 --> 00:53:07.519


I want to gauge you up before I challenge you to normally.00:53:09.039 --> 00:53:12.880


I didn't follow that up with the question would be like, let's arm wrestle.00:53:13.119 --> 00:53:14.960


Yeah, how about the slapping competition?00:53:15.199 --> 00:53:16.480


Oh no, yeah.00:53:16.719 --> 00:53:19.840


So I don't even know how that became a actual sport.00:53:20.239 --> 00:53:21.599


Rodmere started that.00:53:21.679 --> 00:53:30.159


So our neurosurger brother would I think it was some of his wrestling teammates in Boston.00:53:30.400 --> 00:53:42.159


He'd just like come up, like we'd be drinking and just smack you in the face, punch you, slap you, one or the other, and be like, all right, smack you in the face competition.00:53:42.719 --> 00:53:52.960


You either say, Okay, you got me, you win, or you try to hit them harder and have them give up, and just goes back and forth.00:53:53.440 --> 00:53:55.760


So it never end up in a good place.00:53:56.079 --> 00:54:03.039


So we do we just end up like that's some of the hardest times I've been hit in the face.00:54:03.280 --> 00:54:04.320


Yeah, that does not sound fun.00:54:04.800 --> 00:54:05.840


Because I'm not gonna give up.00:54:06.079 --> 00:54:08.320


Like, I'm not gonna go out like no punk bitch.00:54:08.480 --> 00:54:11.519


Like, I just took that punch to the face and I'm not out.00:54:11.679 --> 00:54:15.199


So I'm gonna try to hit you hard enough to make you quit.00:54:15.440 --> 00:54:17.920


I I just don't know like what you're talking about, yeah.00:54:18.079 --> 00:54:19.519


Expo sort of.00:54:19.679 --> 00:54:20.800


But I I don't know.00:54:20.960 --> 00:54:25.679


I don't know in the age of TBIs, how like the slapping competition.00:54:26.079 --> 00:54:32.559


Dude, one time he hit me in the jaw, I was just like, holy shit, I don't know how my jaw didn't fucking break.00:54:32.719 --> 00:54:47.760


And we're it's it's just like it was Jeremy, like one of our family friends, and three of us, and we're just going back and forth doing this, so it's not like we're not a show for anybody.00:54:48.239 --> 00:54:54.239


Just like I I remember just like sitting there with like the room spinning around, like, holy shit.00:54:54.400 --> 00:55:01.280


Like, and it it literally when he punched me, I was like, that sounded like a freaking twig snapped.00:55:02.320 --> 00:55:04.079


But how are these guys practicing?00:55:04.239 --> 00:55:07.920


I wonder how they practice the the slapping competitions that you see.00:55:08.320 --> 00:55:10.320


Oh, yeah, I don't know about that.00:55:10.639 --> 00:55:12.079


Do you want to start training for it?00:55:12.239 --> 00:55:13.840


It's an actual thing, yeah.00:55:14.320 --> 00:55:17.360


The slapping competitions, it wasn't just something you you did with your friends.00:55:17.519 --> 00:55:17.920


No, no, no.00:55:18.239 --> 00:55:21.039


Oh, this was before the slapping thing was a competition.00:55:21.920 --> 00:55:22.559


Now it's a thing.00:55:22.639 --> 00:55:26.559


I'm like, just like idiots to this.00:55:26.719 --> 00:55:29.039


I didn't know like the and we were training.00:55:30.320 --> 00:55:31.440


Bare knuckle fighting.00:55:31.599 --> 00:55:36.239


That's like, yeah, I was like at my barber, and I'm like, this this shit's real.00:55:36.320 --> 00:55:40.960


They're like bare knuckle, like, and it wouldn't last that long, and there's blood everywhere.00:55:41.119 --> 00:55:43.440


Both like everyone's like just cut up.00:55:43.519 --> 00:55:45.119


I'm like, that's just barbaric.00:55:45.280 --> 00:55:48.000


I'm like, I don't know how they allow this stuff to happen.00:55:48.239 --> 00:55:48.639


It's interesting.00:55:48.880 --> 00:55:50.960


No, more like you were like, that's barbaric.00:55:51.039 --> 00:55:52.559


I think I can be good at it.00:55:52.719 --> 00:55:53.039


Yeah.00:55:53.280 --> 00:55:56.480


Well, I I did it for a little bit, but yeah, exactly.00:55:56.719 --> 00:55:58.880


It's like, oh, I'm so above this.00:55:59.119 --> 00:56:05.679


It's like, no, but I I was a wrestler, I was more of a wrestler than like you know, a boxer.00:56:06.480 --> 00:56:07.039


Yeah.00:56:08.159 --> 00:56:10.400


Didn't take too many hits to the head.00:56:10.880 --> 00:56:11.760


Thank God.00:56:12.000 --> 00:56:15.119


I can't believe I didn't take too many hits to the head, by the way.00:56:16.559 --> 00:56:18.639


That's one thing I'm grateful for.00:56:26.480 --> 00:56:27.360


Look at Bruce Willis.00:56:27.519 --> 00:56:29.440


Bruce Willis took too many shots to the head.00:56:29.599 --> 00:56:31.760


Now he's like it's kind of sad.00:56:31.840 --> 00:56:34.000


He's like weathering away.00:56:34.400 --> 00:56:34.719


Is he?00:56:34.960 --> 00:56:40.000


Yeah, oh he's got like real like he's got frontal lobe dementia.00:56:40.159 --> 00:56:44.239


He's like, yeah, he's uh in its like late stages.00:56:44.400 --> 00:56:47.360


He doesn't remember what he did or anything.00:56:47.920 --> 00:56:48.719


Is Michael J.00:56:48.880 --> 00:56:49.760


Fox still alive?00:56:50.159 --> 00:56:50.960


Yeah, Michael J.00:56:51.119 --> 00:56:52.000


Fox is doing fine.00:56:52.079 --> 00:56:53.039


He's got Parkinson's.00:56:53.280 --> 00:56:54.639


He's doing better than Bruce Willis.00:56:54.880 --> 00:56:55.119


Oh yeah.00:56:56.000 --> 00:56:59.920


Yeah, you should see Bruce Willis is like he looks like he's 90.00:57:00.239 --> 00:57:01.199


Oh no, yeah.00:57:01.840 --> 00:57:03.440


Yeah, it's it's kind of sad.00:57:04.000 --> 00:57:04.800


It showed up.00:57:04.880 --> 00:57:08.000


It was like Demi Moore was there with their kids and stuff.00:57:09.119 --> 00:57:12.880


Like, yeah, it it's really like I didn't even know, and it went pretty quick.00:57:13.360 --> 00:57:14.159


He went pretty quick.00:57:16.480 --> 00:57:24.000


I think he got diagnosed in 2023, 2022 or 23, but he it's like he's like right down the drain.00:57:24.800 --> 00:57:27.760


That's where I tip my hat and say yippie cotton.00:57:27.920 --> 00:57:29.920


He should go and get stem cells to the brain.00:57:30.159 --> 00:57:32.159


Yeah, or whatever, it doesn't matter.00:57:32.239 --> 00:57:33.360


Like just do crack.00:57:33.519 --> 00:57:34.480


Like who knows?00:57:34.559 --> 00:57:36.800


Like, what's the fountain of youth at that point?00:57:37.119 --> 00:57:38.000


Well, I don't know.00:57:38.079 --> 00:57:42.239


I would I think that the whole stem cell ultrasound guided stem cell treatments.00:57:42.719 --> 00:57:45.599


What do you think about stem cells mixed with crack?00:57:46.159 --> 00:57:48.719


Would that speed up stem cell intake?00:57:49.280 --> 00:57:51.199


It would kill off the stem cells, I think.00:57:51.519 --> 00:57:54.719


What can stem cells do anything for neuropathy?00:57:55.679 --> 00:57:59.199


Yeah, like if it matters where you're inject injecting and stuff.00:57:59.440 --> 00:58:02.239


What do you mean neuropathy and what my dad has it in his feet?00:58:02.960 --> 00:58:03.199


Okay.00:58:03.679 --> 00:58:04.480


Diabetes?00:58:05.840 --> 00:58:08.239


Just what was it from old age?00:58:08.639 --> 00:58:09.599


Probably old age.00:58:09.679 --> 00:58:10.320


He's 78.00:58:10.719 --> 00:58:14.480


Does he have lower back problems or I don't think so.00:58:15.039 --> 00:58:16.239


He's not on any medications.00:58:16.719 --> 00:58:24.559


I honestly don't think it would be like it's low risk and potential benefit.00:58:24.800 --> 00:58:33.760


So even if there's a placebo effect, even if it doesn't affect it itself, like it's worth trying because the risk is like so low.00:58:33.920 --> 00:58:34.079


Yeah.00:58:34.320 --> 00:58:39.360


Like the biggest he leads a walk club, and so he he I'd go, Dad, because he's always looking down.00:58:39.440 --> 00:58:40.400


I go, What are you doing?00:58:40.480 --> 00:58:41.440


Like your posture.00:58:41.599 --> 00:58:45.440


He's like, I I can't feel my feet, so I have to like look down when I walk.00:58:45.920 --> 00:58:54.320


Oh, have him try like peptide-wise, uh, like CJC epumorlin is really good at re-regenerating some of the nerves and stuff.00:58:54.480 --> 00:59:01.440


And you know, just like growth hormone, if you have like real bad traumatic brain injury or um any sort of nerve injury.00:59:03.599 --> 00:59:07.599


Um growth hormone not longevity, you can't call it longevity.00:59:07.840 --> 00:59:08.079


True.00:59:08.480 --> 00:59:11.360


Um, because growth hormone is gonna reverse.00:59:12.239 --> 00:59:18.639


You're gonna age like quicker if you're getting more growth hormone, you're not gonna live as long.00:59:19.360 --> 00:59:22.880


But as you have high growth hormone, have less and less growth hormone.00:59:23.199 --> 00:59:23.599


Yeah.00:59:24.400 --> 00:59:29.280


But if if you're kind of speeding up aging with growth hormone because you're growing.00:59:29.840 --> 00:59:40.800


Yeah, so that's that's why like all these like bodybuilders and stuff that take growth hormone all their life, they're you know, they get cardiomyopathy and they die.00:59:41.440 --> 00:59:44.159


I thought it's because they're like kind of superdosing it.00:59:44.880 --> 00:59:52.800


Yeah, but you you like it's not growth hormone isn't, you know, even like microdosing it, it's not a longevity medicine.00:59:52.880 --> 00:59:57.039


You're gonna take it's been shown in studies, you're gonna take years off your life.00:59:57.360 --> 00:59:57.599


Okay.00:59:57.760 --> 00:59:59.760


But you're gonna live a better quality life.01:00:00.159 --> 01:00:01.679


Life won't live as long.01:00:02.559 --> 01:00:03.840


Yeah, it will be shorter.01:00:04.639 --> 01:00:07.599


Um, I was picturing like some way to reach out.01:00:07.679 --> 01:00:21.440


But if you have like some jack with but if you have some nerve injuries or brainstem injury, like if you take growth hormone, that's you know, you could regain some of that function back because of and you got to pretty quickly take it so it helps that.01:00:21.519 --> 01:00:29.119


And like, you know, CJC epimorlin kind of causes you to increase um how much you release.01:00:29.360 --> 01:00:43.440


Uh and you know, a lot of my friends, you know, they've had back surgeries and stuff that I've prescribed it to them, and like they continue to have pain after surgery, but once they started to get on CJC epimorlin, all that went away.01:00:43.599 --> 01:00:56.079


And for me too, like I had uh cervical discarnations and like I had neuropathies in both hand, uh me in my right, like fourth and fifth fingers, and that all went away.01:00:56.239 --> 01:00:59.920


Like even pains and stuff, like it kind of went away.01:01:00.159 --> 01:01:11.679


So um, yeah, like some of the growth hormone releasing peptides, especially if it's not diabetes or like some people have like um, and even with those, it could help too.01:01:11.760 --> 01:01:16.000


Uh uh some people could potentially hit 71 home runs for the giants.01:01:16.159 --> 01:01:17.039


So nice, yeah.01:01:17.119 --> 01:01:24.079


Some of the like CJC epimorin I it it works pretty well, the like the growth hormone releasing peptides.01:01:24.239 --> 01:01:26.000


That's what I would suggest.01:01:26.239 --> 01:01:27.039


I'll tell them.01:01:27.280 --> 01:01:27.599


Yeah.
