WEBVTT
00:00:19.355 --> 00:00:21.917
So, John Jay, welcome to the pod.
00:00:21.917 --> 00:00:22.498
Thanks man.
00:00:22.498 --> 00:00:24.768
So can you introduce yourself?
00:00:33.219 --> 00:00:33.720
What welcome to the pod.
00:00:33.720 --> 00:00:33.942
Thanks, man.
00:00:33.942 --> 00:00:34.542
So can you introduce yourself?
00:00:34.542 --> 00:00:35.344
What other than how I can introduce you?
00:00:35.344 --> 00:00:35.746
My name is john jay.
00:00:35.746 --> 00:00:43.264
I host a radio show, um, and I'm totally into anti-aging and living as long as possible you have a whole routine when you wake up.
00:00:43.526 --> 00:00:44.670
I got a bunch of routines.
00:00:44.832 --> 00:00:48.124
I'm a I'm a routine freak or rituals.
00:00:48.124 --> 00:00:50.789
I was going to say I'm OCD, but I think it's more.
00:00:50.789 --> 00:00:52.322
I'm into these rituals that I like to do.
00:00:52.322 --> 00:00:56.359
You know, and I don't really have any a lot of medical science to back things up, I just do it.
00:00:57.100 --> 00:00:57.420
Yes.
00:00:58.142 --> 00:01:00.223
But you guys are doctors, so I can't wait to pick your brains.
00:01:00.223 --> 00:01:02.064
Exactly this is going to be awesome.
00:01:02.506 --> 00:01:06.308
So, first thing, we're huge on sleep.
00:01:06.308 --> 00:01:18.739
Sleep's like the biggest thing, but your sleep schedule is structured for your life because your radio show, am radio show host you wake up really early and go to bed early, so what's?
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:19.000
your pattern.
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:22.710
I try to go to bed early, like tonight, I will not be going to bed early.
00:01:23.379 --> 00:01:23.781
But what's?
00:01:23.921 --> 00:01:25.548
early for you is like 7 pm.
00:01:25.548 --> 00:01:29.694
I try to go to bed between 7 and 8 pm if I can for the, for the.
00:01:29.775 --> 00:01:32.724
You know, I have three boys a 22 year old, a 21 year old, an 18 year old.
00:01:32.724 --> 00:01:39.846
When they were younger, I didn't go to bed till like 9 or 10 and I would get up at 3, and when I look back, the more you know.
00:01:39.846 --> 00:01:44.334
Sleep has been in the news a lot and everyone's been researching sleep right, the or rings, the whoops I got them both.
00:01:44.334 --> 00:01:53.712
It's like I really wish that I would have been focused on sleep years ago in my career, because I think you know, first of all, it affects your eating.
00:01:53.733 --> 00:02:23.132
You're eating carbs, you're you make bad decisions on lack of sleep and I like, even if you look at Dave Asprey's book, like I think I read when it was the keto diet or bulletproof diet he's like you sleep when you die, but now it's like you know, three, four years later, everyone talks about sleep.
00:02:23.151 --> 00:02:24.473
But even him Even him.
00:02:25.061 --> 00:02:40.277
Every biohacker talks about sleep, but even him every biohacker, I think sleep's a key component because, like, if, whenever you're in deep sleep or REM sleep, whenever you're dreaming there's some people that don't really dream much, but like, whenever you're dreaming, that's an active process.
00:02:40.277 --> 00:02:47.786
You're living through that scenario and then somehow comes to an abrupt stop, right, and you like wake up.
00:02:47.786 --> 00:02:58.253
But I think that's why like, sleeping is in like an active form of recovery or an active form of yourself.
00:02:58.854 --> 00:03:00.096
Yeah, I think sleep is incredible.
00:03:00.096 --> 00:03:15.045
I get, like you know, I do a radio show and I prep all day the day before the show yeah, um, and sometimes like if I gotta go to a phoenix suns game or there's a concert I gotta go to and I am up late, it affects my show the next day.
00:03:15.045 --> 00:03:28.606
But I could go to bed on a tuesday at 6, 30, if it ever happens, and get up at three and be fully rested without a show that's planned, and have a hell of a show, a great show, and it's all about the great quality of sleep.
00:03:28.606 --> 00:03:29.429
I see the difference.
00:03:29.429 --> 00:03:30.985
How do you prep for it?
00:03:30.985 --> 00:03:34.068
For my show or for sleep, for your sleep?
00:03:34.068 --> 00:03:36.605
Well, I try to go to bed.
00:03:37.048 --> 00:03:44.024
Here's an example my wife was out of town last week and I went to bed pretty much 7, 30, 8 o'clock every night, got a great night's sleep.
00:03:44.024 --> 00:03:46.866
She came back into town on Thursday.
00:03:46.866 --> 00:03:48.448
I had to pick her up at the airport.
00:03:48.448 --> 00:03:50.109
Her flight was at 9.
00:03:50.109 --> 00:03:51.711
Could have had an Uber, do it?
00:03:51.711 --> 00:03:52.352
Could have had whatever.
00:03:52.352 --> 00:03:53.391
She landed at 9.
00:03:53.391 --> 00:03:57.056
And I was like, oh my God, I want to be like a great husband.
00:03:57.056 --> 00:04:08.686
So I picked her up, we talked, I didn to, went to bed a reasonable time, but then Saturday we had to go to Tucson for a wedding.
00:04:08.686 --> 00:04:11.887
Didn't get bed till midnight, so it's like I can't catch up.
00:04:11.887 --> 00:04:12.764
Do you know what I mean?
00:04:12.783 --> 00:04:19.346
like I'm trying to keep falling behind the best way to get a good night's sleep is probably to not be married and have kids.
00:04:20.704 --> 00:04:25.062
I'm kidding no dogs, no cats, no animals.
00:04:25.103 --> 00:04:26.487
LeBronames.
00:04:26.687 --> 00:04:32.831
He sleep 18 hours a day right and he got the the hyperbaric chambers and he's sleeping in total darkness.
00:04:32.831 --> 00:04:34.281
He's cold plunging, he's cryo.
00:04:34.783 --> 00:04:36.565
So with sleep.
00:04:36.565 --> 00:04:38.428
So how's your diet, do you?
00:04:38.428 --> 00:04:47.463
When do you have your last meal, if your schedule is like that, my doctor a couple years ago put me on uh the uh intermittent fast.
00:04:47.644 --> 00:04:48.687
So I do an 18 hour fast.
00:04:48.687 --> 00:04:54.247
So my first meal of the day is around one and my last meal of the day is set for seven.
00:04:54.247 --> 00:04:58.081
But lately I've been trying to go five, yeah, and I sleep better.
00:04:58.081 --> 00:05:04.142
Yeah, I sleep better in my meals at five, like I try to, and that affects the whole family because we try to eat together as a family.
00:05:04.182 --> 00:05:28.834
Now we all want to eat earlier, so the earlier I eat, the better I sleep yeah, like my wife's a late eater and like she'll order like what uber eats or whatever at like eight o'clock at night or 8 30 at night and I'm like don't order anything for me, I'm not gonna eat, you know so you do the same thing, yeah, I I just like you know, I usually like try to finish eating by six, seven o'clock.
00:05:28.834 --> 00:05:32.124
You want like three, four hours before you go to bed right.
00:05:32.184 --> 00:05:33.427
Is that what you're gonna be around?
00:05:33.427 --> 00:05:33.867
Nine or ten?
00:05:33.927 --> 00:05:38.865
ten, um, yeah, nine or ten is usually prior to I usually, I usually pass out.
00:05:38.865 --> 00:05:42.880
I go to put my four-year-old son to sleep at like eight o'clock.
00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:49.504
I'll lay on a red light mat and I'll usually pass out for like an hour or so and then I'll wake up.
00:05:49.504 --> 00:05:51.810
I'll do a little bit of work and then go back to bed.
00:05:51.810 --> 00:05:54.045
It's usually 10 or 11 o'clock but.
00:05:54.045 --> 00:05:56.831
I find uh, usually around five.
00:05:57.401 --> 00:05:57.843
And do you get a?
00:05:57.843 --> 00:05:58.685
What's your sleep score?
00:05:59.920 --> 00:06:02.706
Um, usually eighties to nineties On the ORA ring.
00:06:02.706 --> 00:06:06.031
Yeah, but you get a ton of deep sleep.
00:06:06.452 --> 00:06:07.254
Yeah, that's great.
00:06:07.254 --> 00:06:08.723
It's always over an hour and a half.
00:06:08.742 --> 00:06:10.468
I usually get an hour hour 10 minutes, hour 20.
00:06:10.468 --> 00:06:18.062
And that's one of the things I work on, because I find that my brain functions a lot better when we're in surgery.
00:06:18.062 --> 00:06:27.959
It definitely, you know, like I've fine-tuned my health and then it's like now I'm trying to increase my brain power and use as much of my brain.
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.269
Let me tell you guys a story about jet lag.
00:06:30.269 --> 00:06:39.425
We went to Portugal last week, got back and I was just saying, like what are my sleep scores going to be?
00:06:39.425 --> 00:06:41.331
On the sleep eight?
00:06:41.331 --> 00:06:46.432
Just like six minutes of deep sleep, seven minutes of deep sleep.
00:06:46.432 --> 00:06:58.891
It was so whacked out I was waking up with like 10 hours of sleep, feeling tired, and I realized like my REM sleep and deep sleep was so like low.
00:06:58.891 --> 00:07:01.543
That's kind of why you have the eight sleep mattress.
00:07:01.562 --> 00:07:01.985
Yeah, yeah, we both do.
00:07:01.985 --> 00:07:02.406
Do you guys love it?
00:07:02.406 --> 00:07:03.331
Yeah, okay, so you got the eight sleep mattress.
00:07:03.350 --> 00:07:04.536
I don't, that's my of why you have the eight sleep mattress.
00:07:04.536 --> 00:07:05.139
Yeah, yeah, do you guys love it?
00:07:05.139 --> 00:07:06.524
Yeah, okay, so you got the eight sleep mattress.
00:07:06.646 --> 00:07:07.442
I don't, that was my.
00:07:07.442 --> 00:07:08.406
That's my next thing.
00:07:08.406 --> 00:07:09.543
Wait, so you have.
00:07:09.543 --> 00:07:10.646
I see you have an aura ring.
00:07:10.646 --> 00:07:12.362
You got the loop and the eight sleep.
00:07:12.362 --> 00:07:13.483
Yeah, what do you have?
00:07:13.483 --> 00:07:15.966
Apple watch, Apple watch.
00:07:15.966 --> 00:07:18.668
And do you guys compare and see which one's better?
00:07:18.668 --> 00:07:21.411
No, but you don't compare the three.
00:07:21.591 --> 00:07:25.435
I researched it, read reviews and everyone was raving about the Oura Ring.
00:07:25.435 --> 00:07:30.711
There's the Superhuman Ring that supposedly tells you when you're supposed to take in your caffeine and everything.
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:31.803
And I'm also like.
00:07:32.740 --> 00:07:35.670
Oura Ring, I think, has a lot more funding than anything else.
00:07:35.670 --> 00:07:37.184
The Superhuman Ring.
00:07:37.184 --> 00:07:40.923
The only way I found out about it was some guy I met on the plane.
00:07:40.983 --> 00:07:42.586
He was but you have the Oura Ring.
00:07:42.586 --> 00:07:43.708
Yeah, I have the Oura Ring and the Whoop.
00:07:43.728 --> 00:07:48.314
So when you get up in the morning you look at both the Oura Ring's a lot easier to look at.
00:07:48.314 --> 00:07:52.625
I think the journaling with the Whoop is the reason I'm like.
00:07:52.728 --> 00:07:53.379
I don't want to write that.
00:07:53.420 --> 00:07:55.749
So, John, do you want to let me sell you on my thing.
00:07:59.586 --> 00:08:04.012
It's the Apple Watch watch, because I don't want people, I don't want to read their emails, I don't want to get distracted by a phone call.
00:08:04.012 --> 00:08:07.540
Yeah, but I have the same thing he does, I do the same thing except for the eight sleep.
00:08:07.540 --> 00:08:12.901
But the eight sleep also tells you how you sleep, so I compare the whoop and the aura ring every day.
00:08:12.901 --> 00:08:16.891
Yeah, and I'm a little on the fence, but I'm leaning more towards ordering.
00:08:16.891 --> 00:08:17.959
Do you have a better?
00:08:17.980 --> 00:08:20.000
mattress no, I don't for sure.
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:21.122
Okay, yeah, all right.
00:08:21.302 --> 00:08:38.172
so like going away from the wearables, the eight sleep is great for its cooling purposes and when you cool while you're going into deep sleep, it's really good.
00:08:38.172 --> 00:08:41.614
They have the AI functions where it adjusts the temperatures.
00:08:41.614 --> 00:08:54.129
I don't know how much that adds to it, but the fact that, like you're cooling on a water-circulated mattress cover, it adds to my deep sleep.
00:08:54.129 --> 00:08:55.072
I heard it's fantastic.
00:08:55.139 --> 00:08:57.168
Yeah, I don't have to turn up the air conditioner.
00:08:57.921 --> 00:08:59.024
What is your air conditioning at?
00:08:59.024 --> 00:09:01.109
It's 74.
00:09:01.109 --> 00:09:02.732
Check your mind Wookiee bars is 68.
00:09:02.820 --> 00:09:05.669
Yeah, because the mattress goes down to 55.
00:09:06.581 --> 00:09:08.067
Yeah so the mattress keeps you cool.
00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:14.649
Yeah, when I first started, I took it all the way down, but you'll wake up in the middle of the night freezing your ass.
00:09:15.187 --> 00:09:15.820
It gets so cold.
00:09:15.921 --> 00:09:20.831
I did that the first night too, my son's sleeping next to me and he's all curled up.
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:21.260
It's so cold.
00:09:21.260 --> 00:09:22.945
So wait, what's your temperature of your arm?
00:09:23.466 --> 00:09:25.451
I set it to 65 or 67.
00:09:25.471 --> 00:09:25.871
You do yeah.
00:09:26.922 --> 00:09:43.384
I don't know the temperature, but it goes plus one, two Because it reads your body and it adjusts right, supposedly yeah and you can change it as how you feel, like if you're waking up and because it's too cold, like I would adjust it to warmer.
00:09:43.686 --> 00:09:44.688
Are you supposed to sleep naked?
00:09:44.688 --> 00:09:46.567
No, I would adjust it to warmer.
00:09:46.567 --> 00:09:47.212
Are you supposed to sleep naked?
00:09:47.212 --> 00:09:47.859
No, I think whatever you want.
00:09:48.160 --> 00:09:49.725
If you like to sleep naked?
00:09:49.725 --> 00:09:51.730
I think it would be best to sleep naked.
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:56.530
Yeah, sometimes I feel like it almost gets too cold when you sleep naked.
00:09:58.004 --> 00:10:03.649
Oh, so it can read everything through your shirt or pajamas, but when you wake up, you have the O-ring on your finger, which I can only wear at night.
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:10.328
If I wear it through the day, it's hard to like work out it's hard to do stuff.
00:10:10.349 --> 00:10:11.715
I, I, you know, I put it around the string on my, on my square.
00:10:11.715 --> 00:10:12.477
Geez, you were reaching down there.
00:10:12.477 --> 00:10:15.605
I was like, oh, you put it around your junk, yeah and my whoop.
00:10:15.645 --> 00:10:16.567
People think it's.
00:10:16.567 --> 00:10:21.847
I put it around my ankle and people think I'm coming on my ankle bracelet.
00:10:21.868 --> 00:10:24.053
So yeah, but do you look like you go?
00:10:24.053 --> 00:10:26.200
Okay, in my whoop I got an 87.
00:10:26.821 --> 00:10:28.388
I'll compare every once in a while.
00:10:28.388 --> 00:10:34.729
But like the eight sleep text me, my results and the Oura Ring, I always open up and look at.
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:38.330
The whoop is a little too complicated to read, but I still do it.
00:10:38.529 --> 00:10:40.499
Yeah, I do it, especially when I work out.
00:10:40.740 --> 00:10:50.384
We're going to get newsletters soon, like a weekly newsletter, and we're going to get newsletters soon, like a weekly newsletter, and you're going to delete that like a spam.
00:10:50.745 --> 00:10:52.807
You're going to be like ah, get the shit out of here.
00:10:52.826 --> 00:10:53.447
But you do red light too.
00:10:53.467 --> 00:10:55.070
Yeah, I do the red light bed every day for 20 minutes.
00:10:55.070 --> 00:10:56.331
I lay in a bed for 20 minutes, yeah.
00:10:56.431 --> 00:10:58.673
Do you have a cold plunge?
00:10:58.673 --> 00:11:00.155
I have a cold plunge in my backyard.
00:11:00.615 --> 00:11:03.743
Yeah, you do red light, light, cold plunge.
00:11:03.743 --> 00:11:03.884
I have.
00:11:03.884 --> 00:11:14.125
I do in the morning I cold plunge and I hot tub in the morning at three o'clock in the morning, um, and I lift some weights and I stretch, I do all that stuff and I meditate a little bit okay and yeah.
00:11:14.527 --> 00:11:18.861
Can we just go into order of you which ones you do and how long?
00:11:19.062 --> 00:11:23.250
okay, I wake up at three and I journal I got a little journal.
00:11:23.250 --> 00:11:30.711
I I write, uh, all the things I'm grateful for, um, and then, and then I write down a few things that I hope happen today.
00:11:30.711 --> 00:11:43.193
I write those down and then I read I have this psychology book, which one of those things that every day has a motivational quote or story about sports and, tied into motivation, about kobe bryan or michael jordan.
00:11:43.193 --> 00:11:44.042
I read that.
00:11:44.042 --> 00:11:54.764
Then I go downstairs and, uh, if it's time for me to take my testosterone shot, I'll take a testosterone shot or I'll drink my electrolytes, and then I drink some water.
00:11:54.764 --> 00:11:58.940
And then I go upstairs to our gym and I do some stretches.
00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:13.304
I do some arm curls, then I do some lunges, then I do heavier arm curls, then I do some tricep pull-downs, then I do some lunges, they do heavier arm curls, that I do some tricep pull downs, then I do some bench press and then I do some shoulders and then I do like a couple of yoga poses on the ground, stretch out my body in the morning.
00:12:13.304 --> 00:12:25.706
And then I go downstairs, I go outside, I jump in my hot tub for about 10 minutes and I I say out loud all the things that I'm grateful for in my life, okay, and then I say a little prayer.
00:12:25.706 --> 00:12:33.273
Then I get in the cold plunge for about a minute one to three minutes in the morning Depends on where I am, because I have to be at work at a certain time.
00:12:33.273 --> 00:12:35.434
So I kind of look oh I ran too long here, I ran whatever.
00:12:35.434 --> 00:12:46.674
So I do a minute or two minutes in the cold plunge, then I get out and I then I do 10 push-ups, then I do a couple of stretches, more stretches, then I get dressed.
00:12:46.779 --> 00:13:08.152
I always kiss my wife goodbye and then I get in the car, I turn on my sauna, I get in the car, I drink some hydranated water and then I stop by Starbucks and then I, on the way to work, I again out loud say all the things I'm grateful for, and then I say this mantra I have that I host the number one radio show in America.
00:13:08.152 --> 00:13:12.000
I say that over and over and over again I'm the host of the number one show in America.
00:13:12.283 --> 00:13:13.500
I host the number one show in America.
00:13:13.500 --> 00:13:15.525
I am the number one show in America.
00:13:15.525 --> 00:13:16.408
I say that over and over again.
00:13:16.408 --> 00:13:20.059
Until I park, I take the stairs upstairs.
00:13:20.059 --> 00:13:21.129
I never take the elevator.
00:13:21.129 --> 00:13:23.725
I take the stairs upstairs and then it's show time.
00:13:25.125 --> 00:13:27.764
That's my morning routine and that's 6 am.
00:13:28.581 --> 00:13:29.565
No, that's at 3.
00:13:30.025 --> 00:13:30.427
3 am.
00:13:30.820 --> 00:13:33.970
That's 3 to 4.30 in the morning 3 to 4.30.
00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:38.200
So we're talking about like did all that at 4.30, and.
00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:41.922
I'm like it might be time to get up now.
00:13:41.981 --> 00:13:45.383
It's 90 minutes that I set aside just for me.
00:13:45.383 --> 00:13:50.905
I'm not, you know, I try to be a good dad, I try to be a good husband, but those 90 minutes, it's all about me.
00:13:51.186 --> 00:13:59.789
And it's straight routine, too Straight routine and I do the same thing on the weekends, but just a little bit later, 6 am or 7 am, and then later on in the day.
00:13:59.789 --> 00:14:00.870
Then I go work out.
00:14:00.870 --> 00:14:03.331
I get off the air around 10.
00:14:03.331 --> 00:14:06.173
I have whatever meetings I'm going to have between 10 and 10.30.
00:14:06.173 --> 00:14:08.073
I make sure I get to the gym at 11.
00:14:08.073 --> 00:14:11.436
I train from 11 to 12, 12 to 12.20.
00:14:11.436 --> 00:14:12.515
I'm in the red light bed.
00:14:12.515 --> 00:14:14.136
Then I go home.
00:14:14.657 --> 00:14:18.240
I might do a hyperbaric chamber, it all depends, but then I'll go home.
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:27.649
I'll usually have some plain yogurt with a protein powder, a little creatine and some fruit, maybe watch a TV show or something, and then I get in the sauna for 20 minutes.
00:14:27.649 --> 00:14:31.230
Then out of the sauna I go and I jump back in the hot tub for a couple minutes.
00:14:31.230 --> 00:14:34.710
Then I go and I jump in the cold plunge for three minutes.
00:14:34.710 --> 00:14:39.221
Then I just started this new thing after that New thing.
00:14:39.221 --> 00:14:42.211
I started because of a guest in this podcast studio.
00:14:42.211 --> 00:14:44.183
I interviewed the certified health nut.
00:14:44.183 --> 00:14:47.812
Oh, he's great, and he was teaching me about Troy's awesome.
00:14:47.860 --> 00:14:50.610
He was telling me about, you know, getting your butthole sun.
00:14:50.610 --> 00:14:55.525
So now, after I get out of the shower, I go lay on the backyard and I lay in the backyard and I'm all.
00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:59.384
I got to make sure you flick your testicles once in a while.
00:14:59.384 --> 00:15:00.325
I put it out in the sun.
00:15:00.365 --> 00:15:06.793
I'm just waiting one day for my wife or the cleaning lady or my son's girlfriend to come in and I'm just going to be like, oh hey, what's up?
00:15:06.793 --> 00:15:07.596
Wink, wink, wink.
00:15:07.596 --> 00:15:10.385
But I've been doing that.
00:15:10.385 --> 00:15:13.410
I've done that probably since I met Certified Health Nut let's say I met him 15 days ago.
00:15:13.410 --> 00:15:14.784
I've done it maybe 13 times.
00:15:14.784 --> 00:15:16.159
I did it before I came here today.
00:15:16.340 --> 00:15:18.582
You could do it in the red light bud.
00:15:19.143 --> 00:15:20.303
I think you do.
00:15:20.345 --> 00:15:29.274
I pull my cheeks apart and eat that red in there Because Ben Greenfield says how he puts the red light, like one of the panels on his crotch.
00:15:29.494 --> 00:15:30.695
Yeah, it makes sense.
00:15:30.695 --> 00:15:32.236
It's like an old-school tanning bed.
00:15:35.059 --> 00:15:38.205
I close it on me and then I pull the cheeks apart.
00:15:38.225 --> 00:15:41.509
Oh, it's like a panini press for your balls, that would be great.
00:15:41.811 --> 00:15:42.412
So that's my routine.
00:15:42.412 --> 00:15:44.554
Put a layer of bacon, that's my routine.
00:15:45.100 --> 00:15:47.227
Then at night I try to eat, like I said, by 5.
00:15:47.227 --> 00:15:49.368
I have a handful of vitamins I take.
00:15:49.368 --> 00:15:53.671
Then I take a little magnesium drink to help me go to sleep too.
00:15:53.671 --> 00:15:55.538
I don't know if you guys do any of that stuff too, the magnesium.
00:15:55.740 --> 00:15:56.462
Yeah, I take magnesium every day.
00:15:56.462 --> 00:15:57.969
I take magnesium every once in a while.
