From fat-burning pills to pizza during hospital shifts, we get real about food and supplements.

In this episode, we share honest stories about our experiences with different diets and supplements, including the intense effects of tesofensine, a strong weight-loss drug that comes with wild side effects.

We talk about trying everything from the Mediterranean diet to keto and carnivore, and how food quality—like grass-fed vs. processed—really matters. You’ll also learn why eating protein first can help with hunger and how tools like glucose monitors can show how your body reacts to different foods.

This episode is full of real-life stories, laughs, and simple tips for anyone trying to eat better, lose weight, or just feel healthier, especially with a busy lifestyle.

00:00:19.733 --> 00:00:24.455
welcome to the age-proof podcast, where we talk about everything.

00:00:24.455 --> 00:00:28.181
Age proof yeah, stay healthy yeah, what we?

00:00:28.181 --> 00:00:28.905
Got going on.

00:00:28.945 --> 00:00:38.351
This week you try anything new uh I got a lot of new stuff going on but I know you've tried a couple things in the last couple weeks, so let's, let's go over.

00:00:38.392 --> 00:01:10.108
Well, it's mainly like I, I don't know, and we are actually going to coordinate stuff with Level Up their pharmacy with peptides from Australia that has all these oral supplements, peptides, that the owner is like hugely scientific, scientific, and I'm trying to get him he, he wants to be on our podcast and I want to talk with him through a lot of his wealth of knowledge of peptides.

00:01:10.108 --> 00:01:14.647
I have a wealth of knowledge, but this guy, like scientifically knows how to mix them.

00:01:14.647 --> 00:01:23.388
What's going to be the form, yeah, and he gets high quality stuff and I actually like touch base with him because of that.

00:01:23.388 --> 00:01:27.674
Um other supplement I took that, the testophenicine.

00:01:27.674 --> 00:01:34.802
I had taken it before and he's like, no, this is real stuff and that's, it's highly potent, that's what you're feeling.

00:01:34.802 --> 00:01:43.049
I thought it was something else in there, but he's like, no, it's the, actually the testophenicine like sweating and yeah.

00:01:43.088 --> 00:01:56.227
So like I started just putting, like you know, opened up the capsules and only putting like a quarter of it in water and drinking it, I still got sort of the effect, but I didn't feel like because with that you felt like you hit it.

00:01:56.227 --> 00:02:04.251
You were like hit by a train, Like you know how you go and do like a leg workout and you feel like you get hit by a train.

00:02:04.251 --> 00:02:15.669
That's how I felt I'm like, and some of the workouts I've been doing recently, like the leg workouts, I do feel that way at the end of it and this was like automatically taking you there, you know.

00:02:15.961 --> 00:02:17.070
Without even working out.

00:02:17.070 --> 00:02:29.788
Without even working out, and it's, I think the cold intolerance was like the worst part of it, like I felt like I needed more and more blankets or coats on, so you like, give yourself chills, yeah.

00:02:29.788 --> 00:02:36.413
I can use it in this during the summertime in Arizona and people are going to be like what's wrong with you walking outside with?

00:02:36.493 --> 00:02:38.014
a hoodie on Sweater.

00:02:38.014 --> 00:02:45.002
Yeah, how long did it last, for it was like probably four to six hours.

00:02:45.022 --> 00:02:45.585
It a long time.

00:02:45.585 --> 00:02:47.069
It wasn't just it's pretty long.

00:02:47.069 --> 00:02:48.963
Yeah, it wasn't just quick recovery.

00:02:48.963 --> 00:02:54.645
So that's because, if you could quickly get over it, you're like oh, whatever that's like you know?

00:02:55.067 --> 00:03:00.080
no, it lasted quite a while yeah, that is a while and it's intense it's.

00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:04.625
When I tell you it's intense, it intense, and it says one to two capsules.

00:03:04.625 --> 00:03:14.075
And I was about to take two capsules but I was like all right, Since my whole thing with semaglutide, I was like let me titrate into this one.

00:03:14.075 --> 00:03:16.681
So you took one capsule.

00:03:16.681 --> 00:03:22.854
Yeah, because just getting healthier, I think everything has so much more of an effect at even lower doses.

00:03:23.175 --> 00:03:27.401
Okay, yeah, so this pretty much lasts as long as a mushroom trip.

00:03:27.401 --> 00:03:32.350
Yeah, yeah pretty much and you can't exit out.

00:03:32.350 --> 00:03:36.525
That's the part you're like okay, I'm done, I'm out of here.

00:03:36.525 --> 00:03:37.848
Like, get me out of here.

00:03:38.048 --> 00:03:38.269
Yeah.

00:03:38.269 --> 00:03:54.781
So so what you feel, exactly and did you see anything on like the metrics with like your aura ring or um well, my aura ring would say you got something going, something minor is happening, your temperatures, your temperatures elevated.

00:03:54.781 --> 00:03:56.662
You know um?

00:03:57.042 --> 00:03:57.883
did your heart rate go?

00:03:57.962 --> 00:03:58.082
up?

00:03:58.082 --> 00:04:01.985
Um, I don't think so, not really.

00:04:01.985 --> 00:04:04.347
No, okay, no, the heart rate was fine.

00:04:04.347 --> 00:04:09.329
Mental clarity was like dude, I thought I was on fire.

00:04:09.329 --> 00:04:15.152
I definitely felt like I was functioning at a different level.

00:04:15.152 --> 00:04:20.576
It was definitely like powerful, and then it also like satiety-wise.

00:04:20.576 --> 00:04:22.536
You didn't want to eat either.

00:04:22.718 --> 00:04:50.959
Yeah, Well, there's a lot of things that can make you not want to eat like well, like yeah, well, tesafenazine, kind of that's why it was originally medication studied for dementia and stuff, because it was like it's serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine receptor uptake inhibitor and like that kind of that's why it was studied.

00:04:50.959 --> 00:05:00.370
But then they saw all the Alzheimer's people were losing weight, so they stopped the study and it was taken off and now people are starting to use it for weight.

00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:03.047
Wait, I remember taking that drug.

00:05:03.468 --> 00:05:11.389
Yeah, on top of that, I I was like still taking methylene blue at the time because I cycled through methylene blue.

00:05:11.389 --> 00:05:15.447
So methylene blue will also increase your serotonin level.

00:05:15.447 --> 00:05:20.300
So like it's almost like uh, what is serotonin sickness?

00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:33.663
it's like you have too much serotonin in your system, so I think that would even make it worse yeah, because if you're taking methylene blue, you'll actually decrease the amount of ssri if you're on ssri.

00:05:33.684 --> 00:05:40.862
Some people come off ssris when they shouldn't really be on ssri I don't take ssris, but no one should be.

00:05:40.862 --> 00:05:42.725
Yeah, just yeah, it's not.

00:05:42.766 --> 00:05:47.634
I'm not a fan of SSRIs anyways, I really don't think they do anything.

00:05:49.180 --> 00:05:55.444
I remember like my parents' friend was like handing it out like candy, like anyone that.

00:05:55.444 --> 00:06:01.149
That's a Henny doctor I know, I know it's just like big pharma bullshit like.

00:06:03.463 --> 00:06:05.949
Oh, you went to sleep last night and woke up.

00:06:05.949 --> 00:06:07.052
How about an ssri?

00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:08.764
you're not happy with your wife?

00:06:08.764 --> 00:06:10.970
Her life like how about an?

00:06:11.050 --> 00:06:11.752
ssri.

00:06:11.752 --> 00:06:14.562
Is your wife yelling at you for not making the bed?

00:06:14.721 --> 00:06:23.026
here's an ssri instead of looking at them as a whole, like where's, where's your hormone level, where's your overall health?

00:06:23.026 --> 00:06:28.983
Yes, that's where we break into like so what diets have you tried?

00:06:28.983 --> 00:06:33.134
I know like I can ramble on about like everything I've tried.

00:06:33.456 --> 00:06:38.848
Yeah, I do want to go I do want to jump into, like the diets you've tried.

00:06:38.848 --> 00:06:42.053
Yeah, I will tell you what's worked for me.

00:06:42.053 --> 00:06:58.701
Yeah, we've, like they say, mediterranean diet yeah like we, we pretty much have had a mediterranean diet yeah from like like growing up yeah being iranian, but it is like okay, what's heavy in your diet, what?

00:06:59.103 --> 00:07:00.244
what makes a difference?

00:07:00.244 --> 00:07:10.896
I do think there's something, not necessarily like gluten related, but something in the way grains are grown and harvested in the US.

00:07:10.896 --> 00:07:23.711
Yeah, that really gets people like not necessarily sick, but like down that diabetic track or like like speed rushes them through that.

00:07:23.711 --> 00:07:24.093
Yeah, yeah.

00:07:24.093 --> 00:07:39.230
So I do like low carb diets because of that, not necessarily like recently I've been eating a decent amount of sourdough bread that justifies like oh, it's sourdough, it's good for you and and I feel I feel better.

00:07:39.230 --> 00:07:40.312
Yeah, like I don't?

00:07:40.533 --> 00:07:49.045
well, I was just listening to joe rogan like and he was saying he's like rogan's, like the well he talks about carnivore expert.

00:07:49.045 --> 00:07:53.833
Yeah no, but he was talking with uh, was it paul?

00:07:53.833 --> 00:08:07.007
I think he was on with huberman and they were talking about it and he was saying how, like he can have steak and rice when, when he was on the carnivore diet, he'd have rice and he's totally fine.

00:08:07.362 --> 00:08:09.257
Why is rice part of a carnivore diet, though?

00:08:10.300 --> 00:08:28.543
I'll discuss carnivore diet because it's not like overly all just meat, but, like he said, like anytime he'd splurge on pasta he feels like shit, yeah and heavy and everything but like when he's eating rice.

00:08:28.543 --> 00:08:30.026
He has no issues with rice.

00:08:30.026 --> 00:08:36.788
He's actually energized and goes and works out and stuff with rice, but like what kind of rice is he having?

00:08:37.250 --> 00:08:42.847
I know basmati, basmati if you eat basmati rice like, cooked appropriately, I think you know.

00:08:42.847 --> 00:08:48.501
Over here, like in arizona, I found this new persian restaurant.

00:08:48.501 --> 00:09:00.720
That's like their food is freaking addictive and you can be on a straight carnivore diet because the guy gives you the guy gives you like all right, this is not a paid advertisement.

00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:02.323
But what is his place called?

00:09:02.323 --> 00:09:06.884
Kebab grill and go it's like one of the best, best persian foods in town.

00:09:07.586 --> 00:09:09.471
Oh, the food is so good.

00:09:09.471 --> 00:09:13.120
And then he gives you like three pounds of chicken per.

00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:19.673
You know, like my family get, we get two of the platters and we're eating it for like four days.

00:09:19.673 --> 00:09:27.966
You know, and you can't stop, like I can't wait to go home and eat it and like even as rice, you eat as rice with the chicken and you don't feel down.

00:09:27.966 --> 00:09:29.466
Then you go to Persian Room.

00:09:29.466 --> 00:09:31.586
I have a bite of Persian Room.

00:09:31.586 --> 00:09:34.221
I feel like crap and I almost.

00:09:34.221 --> 00:09:39.801
And everyone always says like, oh, you're Iranian, do you go to Persian Room?

00:09:39.801 --> 00:09:41.825
And I'm like, yeah, their food they're.

00:09:41.825 --> 00:09:42.966
Like, oh, their food's so good.

00:09:43.027 --> 00:09:44.809
I'm like I wouldn't go there.

00:09:44.809 --> 00:09:47.095
Well, technically, all my rooms are Persian, yeah.

00:09:48.220 --> 00:09:56.899
Yeah, like the stuff is like, so I don't know so heavy, and any time my wife wants to order food.

00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:01.061
Dude, I get this shit so fast and it's been like every time has been worse and worse.

00:10:01.061 --> 00:10:04.744
And it's been like every time has been worse and worse.

00:10:04.744 --> 00:10:18.274
Like if I measure the time from me eating that food to going to the bathroom, it's been less and less and I'm just like what the hell is going on?

00:10:18.354 --> 00:10:22.317
It feels like they ground the beef with some rocks in there.

00:10:22.317 --> 00:10:29.320
It feels like you're eating rocks or asphalt or cement, because it just sits in your stomach like a rock.

00:10:29.460 --> 00:10:31.727
It's like Jim Gaffigan, this Hot Pocket skit.

00:10:31.727 --> 00:10:35.389
That's what I think of all the time.

00:10:35.389 --> 00:10:43.187
It's like oh, now they make vegetarian Hot Pockets so you can remove the Hot Pocket out of the sleeve and place it directly in the toilet.

00:10:43.187 --> 00:10:46.628
It's like this is what we're doing with Persian food or Persian roux.

00:10:46.628 --> 00:10:52.208
We're like, oh okay, take it straight off the platter, just drop it right in the toilet.

00:10:52.208 --> 00:10:55.288
Skip the whole step where you're involved.

00:10:55.940 --> 00:10:59.190
Yeah, I almost pretty much like my wife wants to order it.

00:10:59.190 --> 00:11:01.408
I'm like my kids like the rice.

00:11:01.408 --> 00:11:03.706
It's tasty, it's delicious, yeah.

00:11:03.706 --> 00:11:13.635
They make it taste good, but they're adding some type of laxatives or something.

00:11:13.655 --> 00:11:19.826
Yeah, I can make great rice and you know like even I've tried to just not eat the rice and eat their proteins.

00:11:19.826 --> 00:11:21.629
Just lick the meat a little bit.

00:11:21.629 --> 00:11:37.653
Yeah, you're like oh man, it smells so good you get closer and your bowels just go like yeah, yeah so nuts, yeah, mediterranean diet, so like so what?

00:11:37.873 --> 00:11:39.894
what's the mediterranean like?

00:11:39.894 --> 00:11:41.120
How do you follow that?

00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:54.392
And I've been trying to like wrap my head around it, but, like you know, people say it's more like being a pescatarian than but, like you know, you're still eating lamb and meat.

00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:57.830
It's pretty much like what we grew up on.

00:11:57.830 --> 00:12:00.107
That's why everybody's like, oh, Mediterranean diet.

00:12:00.107 --> 00:12:02.688
I'm like, oh, that's just my diet.

00:12:02.688 --> 00:12:06.725
Like I don't know what you're talking about, okay, olive oil.

00:12:09.881 --> 00:12:12.128
A lot of it's just unprocessed food.

00:12:12.128 --> 00:12:13.110
That's what you got to have.

00:12:13.110 --> 00:12:21.850
It's like don't have like Kraft mac and cheese, go and grind up your own pasta and cheese.

00:12:22.191 --> 00:12:22.812
That's the thing.

00:12:22.812 --> 00:12:25.783
It's like the extra step, like getting the dough.

00:12:25.783 --> 00:12:32.186
Getting the dough, getting the yeast, like doing the whole process, I think makes a huge difference.

00:12:32.186 --> 00:12:38.080
Yeah, that's why I've been trying to like I want to get a glucose monitor before I go like full-fledged on this.

00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:39.384
I got my first one.

00:12:39.687 --> 00:12:39.886
Yeah.

00:12:40.220 --> 00:12:44.303
And it didn't work, so I have one you have no glucose in your system.

00:12:44.303 --> 00:12:47.285
Yeah, Probably they're like you're all screwed up.

00:12:47.667 --> 00:12:48.807
Honey, you so sweet.

00:12:48.807 --> 00:12:50.389
You're going to give me diabetes.

00:12:50.769 --> 00:12:55.633
After I got that one, one of my friends told me the Oura Ring actually carries a glucose monitor.

00:12:55.633 --> 00:12:58.775
I'm like I should have just gotten theirs.

00:12:58.775 --> 00:12:59.996
It's not that expensive.

00:13:01.740 --> 00:13:02.982
They have a Fetuche salad monitor.

00:13:02.982 --> 00:13:06.850
It's like 8% fattoush salad running through your system.

00:13:07.712 --> 00:13:18.034
Yeah, so I got a Mediterranean diet book and I was like, oh, it didn't really like it had everything in there.

00:13:18.294 --> 00:13:21.457
Yeah, so it's like you know it's like, this is my regular diet.

00:13:21.457 --> 00:13:30.730
Yeah so it's hard, for I will tell you like, um, when I was in residency, like I was eating, like crap yeah I.

00:13:30.971 --> 00:13:35.120
I went keto for about a year, yeah, and then did intermittent fasting.

00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:43.443
Yeah, I dropped like a good like 20 30 pounds, yeah, because I was like I got up to like here's the story.

00:13:43.443 --> 00:13:51.667
I got up to 210 and I felt myself jiggle when I walked fast from room to room and I was talking to a couple of nurses.

00:13:51.667 --> 00:13:56.668
I was like I need to lose some weight and they're like yeah, you're okay, you don't need to.

00:13:57.500 --> 00:14:06.293
They're being nice to me and it's like no, I need to do it and I forgot I talked to him about it.

00:14:06.293 --> 00:14:09.615
And then two months later they're like, oh, how's that diet going?

00:14:09.615 --> 00:14:14.235
I'm like, oh, I'm up 15 pounds since we last talked.

00:14:14.235 --> 00:14:17.592
So then I was just like dude.

00:14:17.592 --> 00:14:23.616
I felt miserable Not miserable, but I was dragging.

00:14:23.616 --> 00:14:30.514
It was like straight up dragging everywhere, and I was just like I got to do something.

00:14:30.514 --> 00:14:40.975
I went keto and then for about a year and then added intermittent fasting, yeah, and I dropped probably like 30 pounds.

00:14:40.975 --> 00:14:44.053
Yeah, like I got down to like 185.

00:14:44.053 --> 00:14:48.235
I got down to like wrestling weight for undergrad.

00:14:48.436 --> 00:14:48.596
Yeah.

00:14:49.066 --> 00:14:51.004
From like a top of like 220.

00:14:51.004 --> 00:14:53.491
And I felt good.

00:14:53.491 --> 00:14:56.972
I was just like you know what, if I feel good, I'll maintain at that.

00:14:56.972 --> 00:15:09.721
And the one thing I might as well mention it here it was just like I was taking prescribed Adderall also, which is an appetite suppressant.

00:15:09.721 --> 00:15:11.308
Yeah, that's the one thing I was just like looking was taking prescribed adderall also, which is an appetite suppressant.

00:15:11.308 --> 00:15:12.849
Yeah, that's the one thing I was just like.

00:15:12.849 --> 00:15:14.572
Looking back, like why am I having?

00:15:14.572 --> 00:15:18.626
Like when I'm doing keto I can't get the weight off as easily?

00:15:18.626 --> 00:15:27.797
Uh, I do think that made a slight bit of a difference, but I'm like down to like 195.

00:15:28.158 --> 00:15:32.265
Yeah, like the thing is like when you try to go back on keto.

00:15:32.265 --> 00:15:42.711
Um, one thing to do is like, if you have leaky gut or any issues like that, I think, like when you try to go back on keto, you have more of a problem with bowel habits.

00:15:43.572 --> 00:15:56.437
Yeah, and there's just stuff like if I'm pooping like that, something's not right.

00:15:56.597 --> 00:15:56.798
Yeah.

00:15:58.066 --> 00:16:02.017
It's just like it should be like I'm doing something wrong.

00:16:02.057 --> 00:16:02.216
Yeah.

00:16:02.365 --> 00:16:07.345
Like my body shouldn't be rejecting all this food, like I'm in a third world country.

00:16:07.384 --> 00:16:31.486
Yeah, the thing was like I was on keto diet, pretty like I got you on that whole thing the butter, coffee or the bulletproof coffee um, and like I felt great on it because, like you're pretty much trying to drive that ketosis, I was like testing my finger sticks every day and making sure I was always in ketosis, like your mind works and functions a lot better.

00:16:31.486 --> 00:16:40.455
Um, I think right right now I'm pretty much at the same level without being in ketosis, um, just doing a lot of other things to optimize it.

00:16:40.455 --> 00:16:48.717
But I went to Italy and like I didn't eat much pasta or pizza and stuff, even when we were in italy.

00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:51.605
Some of it, yeah, more than 20 grams worth.

00:16:51.947 --> 00:16:55.634
But when I came, back and was on keto diet.

00:16:55.634 --> 00:17:01.635
I could not lose any weight, and it was like after that italy trip, I couldn't lose any weight on the keto diet.

00:17:01.635 --> 00:17:03.120
That's when I stopped it.

00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:04.487
It was hard to maintain too.

00:17:04.487 --> 00:17:08.732
Um, what did you think with the keto diet?

00:17:08.873 --> 00:17:11.837
I've been not technically keto.

00:17:11.837 --> 00:17:26.154
Yeah, I did like probably like a quarter pound of sourdough before we got here today, but um, I I do try to limit myself to 20 grams of carbs a day, but you probably take a lot more than that.

00:17:26.295 --> 00:17:27.215
You think it's 20.

00:17:27.477 --> 00:17:32.373
No, exactly that's my target.

00:17:32.373 --> 00:17:40.444
I'm probably at 40 grams, but there's different diets, there are 20 grams 30 grams, 40 grams of net carbs.

00:17:40.444 --> 00:17:57.369
I do really try to stay under 40 grams, but it's just hard being in the hospital and, yeah, and like I would rather eat healthy than reduce carbs.

00:17:57.369 --> 00:18:04.669
Yeah, so like when I was on that keto diet during residency where I dropped all that weight, yeah, like I felt great.

00:18:04.669 --> 00:18:07.773
My ldl shot up.

00:18:07.773 --> 00:18:09.777
It was like twice the amount of normal.

00:18:09.777 --> 00:18:14.770
Yeah, because I was eating like pork rinds, processed red meat.

00:18:14.991 --> 00:18:20.205
Yeah, like, just like that oh yeah, I can buy cold cuts in a vending machine.

00:18:20.205 --> 00:18:21.207
Yeah, like I could.

00:18:21.626 --> 00:18:26.913
That there's no, that's where that's where you're, because I I was on keto diet.

00:18:26.913 --> 00:18:32.760
My cholesterol was like my hdl was high and my ldl was low.

00:18:32.760 --> 00:18:40.586
Um, and even my low small particles, they were all in check, like I never, you know, they never went shot up.

00:18:41.068 --> 00:18:47.388
So this is after training, though right it's hard to do in medical training, where even in medical training.

00:18:47.429 --> 00:19:08.071
The thing was I was in new york and like I followed paleo and then went keto because in new york there was a fantastic place for catering and I used to go and pick up prep meals, yeah, and you could choose, like what you wanted, and they actually it was like right next to my crossfit gym and their food was like so good.

00:19:08.071 --> 00:19:12.958
I used to go and like, just like pick up so much stuff yeah, yeah, I used to.

00:19:13.298 --> 00:19:26.411
I was like I need to open up one of those here, because they used to have just like good cuts of filet mignon and uh, like even chicken and like, and then you choose your vegetables and stuff with it.

00:19:26.411 --> 00:19:28.976
So, um, that, that was a.

00:19:28.976 --> 00:19:30.499
That was a great place.

00:19:30.499 --> 00:19:33.049
It was easy to stay on paleo with their food.

00:19:33.049 --> 00:19:47.090
So, okay, yeah, right now we don't have those choices in new orleans yeah, you just choose fried chicken and binaise and gas station chicken you don't know, gas station brothers chicken, it's a chain and

00:19:47.250 --> 00:19:48.413
most of them are like.

00:19:48.413 --> 00:19:54.000
It's either like a fast mart or a gas station.

00:19:54.000 --> 00:20:02.634
Rob came down one time and he's just like we had a long night out about to crash.

00:20:02.634 --> 00:20:06.853
He was like, oh dude, before you go home, just stop by, like McDonald's or something.

00:20:06.853 --> 00:20:13.031
I was like McDonald's Fuck McDonald's, we're going was like McDonald's fuck McDonald's, we go, we're going to get some good gas station chicken.

00:20:13.031 --> 00:20:18.770
And we stopped by, uh brothers, and we each got like a like a four piece meal.

00:20:18.770 --> 00:20:29.450
I had a couple of pieces of chicken, fries and soda and we just ate it in the parking lot and he's just like dude.

00:20:29.450 --> 00:20:31.375
I got to go in and get some more.

00:20:31.375 --> 00:20:36.016
He went in and came back with a 10-piece.

00:20:36.016 --> 00:20:40.375
He's just like dude, it makes no sense to buy any less.

00:20:40.375 --> 00:20:43.775
It's like a dollar a piece for a piece of chicken.

00:20:43.775 --> 00:20:46.727
It's like a whole quarter of a chicken.

00:20:46.727 --> 00:20:47.007
He's like God.

00:20:47.007 --> 00:20:48.008
It's like a whole quarter of a chicken.

00:20:48.008 --> 00:20:48.729
He's like God.

00:20:48.749 --> 00:20:55.515
And we sat there and out of the 10 pieces we crushed like nine pieces.

00:20:55.515 --> 00:20:59.438
We had like one piece left and we were just like we got to do this.

00:20:59.438 --> 00:21:00.939
It was like 5 in the morning.

00:21:00.939 --> 00:21:03.862
There's a gas station down the street from my house.

00:21:03.862 --> 00:21:12.954
There's definitely a couple people been shot there in the last two months.

00:21:12.954 --> 00:21:13.476
It's New Orleans.

00:21:13.476 --> 00:21:15.661
You expect that West Bank.

00:21:15.721 --> 00:21:23.336
Actually, we just sat there and just like didn't feel good about it, but we made it happen.

00:21:23.336 --> 00:21:24.359
Was that during your paleo diet?

00:21:24.359 --> 00:21:24.681
No, it was not.

00:21:24.681 --> 00:21:25.565
Or keto diet it was not.

00:21:25.705 --> 00:21:28.325
That was when I was ramping up to 220.

00:21:28.325 --> 00:21:31.153
That's when I was getting into my jiggly face.

00:21:34.726 --> 00:21:40.396
Yeah, it's like going through these diets and like it kind of.

00:21:40.396 --> 00:21:52.425
Sometimes, though, like you do get food anxiety and like diet burnout and stuff from just like worrying about like what do you mean what not to eat?

00:21:52.425 --> 00:21:55.029
About that for me.

00:21:55.029 --> 00:22:06.507
It's, like you know, trying to stay away from seed oils or processed foods and stuff like that and, like you know, when you're in the hospital kind of guilty eating a sirloin yesterday.

00:22:06.827 --> 00:22:08.595
There's a good, good cut sirloin.

00:22:09.116 --> 00:22:16.298
Yeah, Anytime I go out I try to, you know, I want to go to a good steak place because I want warm steak.

00:22:16.298 --> 00:22:17.586
I don't want, you know, like.

00:22:18.729 --> 00:22:20.412
I have a chef that cooks for me.

00:22:20.471 --> 00:22:25.220
But like steak isn't good when you're like reheating it and stuff.

00:22:25.705 --> 00:22:28.795
That is true, but it's also the quality of the cut, yeah, right.

00:22:29.724 --> 00:22:34.295
So if it's also the quality of the cut, yeah right, yeah, so if it's crappy piece of meat, no, it's not crappy piece of meat.

00:22:34.315 --> 00:22:40.416
No, no, I know, not for you, but like if, if you go out and start off with a crappy piece of meat.

00:22:41.098 --> 00:22:43.526
I'm really thinking of doing this carnivore diet, though.

00:22:43.526 --> 00:22:55.395
I'm like gonna eat meat, just eat meat, and I like where's a good place that I can order good meat like grass fed meat that I can eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

00:22:55.395 --> 00:22:57.190
You might have to grow it yourself.

00:22:57.210 --> 00:22:59.180
Yeah, yeah, but you need to grow some grass.

00:22:59.684 --> 00:23:08.103
I think the hospital will freak out because some of the people made fun of me for being how he used to be vegan for lunch or vegetarian for lunch.

00:23:08.704 --> 00:23:10.732
That was the biggest bullshit ever, dude.

00:23:10.732 --> 00:23:14.474
Somebody was like, oh, who is it?

00:23:14.474 --> 00:23:20.934
One of our friends is like I'm vegan and he's like, yeah, I'm vegan for like the better half of the day.

00:23:20.934 --> 00:23:22.648
You can't say that.

00:23:22.648 --> 00:23:26.534
He's like, no, I'm serious, I eat vegan for like breakfast and lunch.

00:23:28.826 --> 00:23:34.314
No, he's vegan because he doesn't want to kill animals well, vegans, you can't say, oh, I don't eat meat, I didn't.

00:23:34.314 --> 00:23:38.971
I didn't even know that at the time I was like, uh, vegetarian vegan, what the hell's the difference?

00:23:39.413 --> 00:23:46.695
I had a friend in med school uh, because vegetarians, I think, like because vegetarian is not necessarily healthy.

00:23:46.695 --> 00:23:48.008
I had a friend in med school.

00:23:48.008 --> 00:23:51.473
He was like no, they use seed oils and stuff.

00:23:52.326 --> 00:23:55.876
Like vegans, like kind of stay away from, like all that.

00:23:55.876 --> 00:23:57.750
Not necessarily, not really.

00:23:58.051 --> 00:23:58.554
Not really.

00:24:00.326 --> 00:24:01.330
That's what I thought.

00:24:01.625 --> 00:24:16.128
Dude, then you just pound like pea protein and soy and stuff, because I would see like people that were like unhealthy and they're like I'm vegetarian.

00:24:16.128 --> 00:24:19.219
I'm like, oh yeah, my friend in med school was just like I was a little drunk when he mentioned it, but it was like, oh yeah, I'm vegetarian.

00:24:19.219 --> 00:24:20.785
I looked at I was like you're way too overweight to be vegetarian.

00:24:20.904 --> 00:24:29.797
It was like you gotta eat more lettuce bro like what is going on here, yeah, yeah, and like, um, what are you doing?

00:24:29.797 --> 00:24:31.298
Deep frying all of that?

00:24:31.298 --> 00:24:35.553
Well, like that's like one of the podcasts has listened to.

00:24:35.553 --> 00:24:43.111
They were saying, like how, like india is even turning more there, there's more people going towards the carnivore diet.

00:24:43.111 --> 00:24:44.373
Where, what?

00:24:44.373 --> 00:24:48.038
Yeah, where they india, india, india, they're all going to hell.

00:24:48.038 --> 00:24:56.133
I know, they actually ship.

00:24:59.425 --> 00:25:00.729
They're one of the largest producing of meat.

00:25:00.729 --> 00:25:01.471
What type of meat, though?

00:25:01.471 --> 00:25:02.512
Lamb and goat?

00:25:02.512 --> 00:25:03.675
No cows too.

00:25:06.286 --> 00:25:08.538
Oh my God, that's so sacrilegious, I know, but they sell it for profit.

00:25:08.538 --> 00:25:09.990
They're not eating it.

00:25:09.990 --> 00:25:16.415
So there's some family making billions there yeah, from just meat.

00:25:16.415 --> 00:25:17.397
That's crazy.

00:25:17.397 --> 00:25:20.535
Diabetes is huge there and insulin resistance.

00:25:20.535 --> 00:25:23.239
But they put cream in, like so much stuff.

00:25:23.239 --> 00:25:26.291
Heavy cream, yeah, heavy cream, butter chicken some good stuff.

00:25:26.512 --> 00:25:32.689
Yeah, but it's all heavy cream, yeah, like.

00:25:32.689 --> 00:25:33.509
I mean it's called butter chicken.

00:25:33.509 --> 00:25:36.215
That probably translates to like just like lard and chicken.

00:25:36.215 --> 00:25:41.700
Yeah, just throw that in a pot and put some orange food coloring in there yeah, so so what?

00:25:41.861 --> 00:25:42.201
so what?

00:25:42.201 --> 00:25:43.365
The carnivore diet thing.

00:25:43.365 --> 00:25:53.827
So what I was reading is like you're 80 of your I think it's like 80 of your diets just meat, and then the other 20 can be whatever.

00:25:53.827 --> 00:25:57.694
But, like you know, paul saldano talks about it.

00:25:57.694 --> 00:26:09.097
He's like a physician that is big into the the carnivore scene and he's in costa rica and he's big with t-rexes and other meat eating uh animals.

00:26:09.157 --> 00:26:22.317
So he, he does fruits because he has issues with, like, I think, eczema and stuff, and so he does fruits, but he says he doesn't do vegetables at all, so he stays away from vegetables altogether.

00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:27.792
Um, and, that's pretty cool, just yeah, just from like the sound of of it.

00:26:27.792 --> 00:26:31.432
I don't do vegetables, I'm like the anti-vegetarian.

00:26:31.865 --> 00:26:33.230
Yeah, he says I don't know.

00:26:33.230 --> 00:26:39.607
And that's the thing is when you test your gut and stuff for me.

00:26:39.607 --> 00:26:44.864
I don't like bell peppers much anyways.

00:26:44.864 --> 00:26:56.654
I love bell peppers and when I got my microbiome and stuff checked it said that I'm allergic to peppers and stuff and I do feel worse when I eat cooked peppers.

00:26:56.654 --> 00:26:58.419
Yeah, what else are you allergic to?

00:26:58.419 --> 00:26:59.446
I don't know.

00:26:59.446 --> 00:27:00.549
I forget I didn't.

00:27:00.569 --> 00:27:01.090
That was it.

00:27:01.090 --> 00:27:02.595
I didn't read through it I.

00:27:02.595 --> 00:27:12.290
I did it more for the microbiome, but it told me stop that bell peppers it told me, my heart is broken, like I can't go on the other stuff I didn't eat anyway, so I didn't care.

00:27:12.652 --> 00:27:24.549
Yeah, you know, but like, but, like a lot of it was like staying away from like doing the carnivore diet would be against my religion, because it was like you don't eat red meat and don't.

00:27:24.549 --> 00:27:31.113
It's like that all all sorts of the protein I could take in it was like even like chicken and stuff.

00:27:31.113 --> 00:27:32.671
I was like what the hell is this?

00:27:33.085 --> 00:27:34.411
I'm like there's no way.

00:27:34.411 --> 00:27:36.871
Yeah, I know Nutrition.

00:27:36.871 --> 00:27:37.051
Yeah.

00:27:38.465 --> 00:27:41.763
So I was like uh, how do I, how do you expect me to get my protein?

00:27:41.784 --> 00:27:44.814
I don't know, there is some stuff that just doesn't agree with me.

00:27:44.814 --> 00:27:50.405
Yeah, and I agree with me.

00:27:50.405 --> 00:27:51.989
Yeah, and I just refuse to accept the fact that it doesn't agree with me.

00:27:51.989 --> 00:27:52.289
Yeah, just like.

00:27:52.289 --> 00:27:59.589
Yeah, you know we're in a developed world, so like, a little diarrhea isn't gonna kill me, you know, like you, just stay hydrated.

00:27:59.589 --> 00:28:00.813
Worst case scenario, I'll go.

00:28:00.813 --> 00:28:06.871
I'll go go get iv line put in and get some extra iv.

00:28:06.871 --> 00:28:08.374
It's diarrhea, it it'll pass.

00:28:08.374 --> 00:28:10.097
This too shall pass.

00:28:10.097 --> 00:28:12.512
That's what I think on the toilet all the time.

00:28:13.365 --> 00:28:13.605
Yeah, I.

00:28:13.605 --> 00:28:20.349
Just my main thing is trying to stay away from sugars and processed foods, definitely Not even ultra processed foods.

00:28:20.349 --> 00:28:38.471
Processed foods Like ultra processed is completely off the table, and I think, like from a young age you got to teach your kids, you know, of course the grandparents come in and feed them fries and garbage food, but you got to try to, you know I'm a sucker for like vegetables.

00:28:38.932 --> 00:28:45.648
That's where, like I'm just like, I see the small package good italian salami.

00:28:45.669 --> 00:28:47.393
I'm like I know it's processed.

00:28:47.393 --> 00:28:48.694
But is it really processed?

00:28:48.796 --> 00:28:54.131
it is, it is, it is I'm just like where's the usda grade?

00:28:54.131 --> 00:29:04.397
Like uh yeah, is that grass-fed salami is like no, that is just a sloppy piece of pork shit like just you're gonna eat it or grind it up?

00:29:04.397 --> 00:29:09.034
But like sometimes you just can't help yourself.

00:29:09.394 --> 00:29:30.479
Like, yeah, all right, a little bit of diarrhea, here we go I usually I don't know I I stay away from the like I used to get the charcuterie boards but like I say I do a good job at staying away from it, but at least once a month, maybe once every two weeks, yeah, I give in.

00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:32.121
I'm like ah, here we go.

00:29:32.121 --> 00:29:35.471
Yeah, like, just give me that salty satisfaction.

00:29:35.471 --> 00:29:37.777
Like it's just meat with salt.

00:29:37.997 --> 00:29:43.179
Yeah, it's like dry meat with salt especially with some cheese, some good parmesan cheese.

00:29:43.220 --> 00:29:49.414
Yeah, yeah glass of red wine that I just pour in the sink?

00:29:49.414 --> 00:29:50.897
I'd rather not.

00:29:51.385 --> 00:29:53.113
The other thing like how about milk?

00:29:53.113 --> 00:29:54.730
What are your thoughts on milk?

00:29:55.905 --> 00:29:58.894
If you're going to do milk, just do fucking hardcore milk.

00:29:58.894 --> 00:30:00.470
Whole grass-fed milk.

00:30:00.470 --> 00:30:01.232
Yeah, yeah, yeah Right.

00:30:01.232 --> 00:30:02.983
Fuck oat milk, fuck almond milk.

00:30:03.887 --> 00:30:05.031
Yeah, I used to like.

00:30:05.747 --> 00:30:06.884
If you're going to do it, do it.

00:30:07.125 --> 00:30:10.057
I had this mindset of like is evil.

00:30:10.057 --> 00:30:15.732
And then I'm feeding my kids milk like every day and I'm like now I like before.

00:30:15.732 --> 00:30:21.814
You used to buy that crappy milk and I used to chug like a gallon a day and my dad's like what the hell we used to?

00:30:21.894 --> 00:30:24.567
we used to drink at least like we were told.

00:30:24.567 --> 00:30:40.277
Like we're gonna drink, you're gonna drink three glasses of milk, even if we like couldn't afford anything else especially it was on sale three glasses of milk or you're going to hell yeah like it's, it's it that, that was it, yeah like I used to chug it out of the bottle.

00:30:40.297 --> 00:30:48.817
A lot of milk, yeah and we used to pound flintstone vitamins remember that time where mom left us alone.

00:30:48.817 --> 00:30:49.659
We were like what?

00:30:49.659 --> 00:30:50.660
9, 10?

00:30:50.660 --> 00:30:52.087
And there's a.

00:30:52.087 --> 00:30:58.796
It was like the Costco Flintstone vitamins bottle.

00:30:58.796 --> 00:30:59.778
We finished it.

00:30:59.778 --> 00:31:02.510
She came back and was like what I just bought that today?

00:31:02.510 --> 00:31:04.411
It tasted good.

00:31:04.411 --> 00:31:08.854
We can't afford candy, so this is what we decided on a pound.

00:31:13.184 --> 00:31:14.788
Yeah, good, we can't afford candy, so this is what we decided about.

00:31:14.788 --> 00:31:15.269
Yeah, um, yeah, like milk.

00:31:15.269 --> 00:31:16.212
You know everyone plays dairy as evil.

00:31:16.212 --> 00:31:18.900
I'm like I'm eating cheese, I'm like, and staying away from milk.

00:31:18.900 --> 00:31:23.173
And then you know, I'm like, oh, like you can put some of this whole.

00:31:23.334 --> 00:31:31.518
It's not like honestly I don't know, but it's a good dose of protein and then calcium, and then you're getting like whey protein that's made from milk.

00:31:31.518 --> 00:31:34.292
So how does that make sense?

00:31:34.292 --> 00:31:40.778
The only reason I'm a fan of milk is because I do not believe in the alternatives.

00:31:41.097 --> 00:31:41.318
Yeah.

00:31:41.464 --> 00:31:44.845
Like oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk, whatever.

00:31:44.845 --> 00:32:02.876
All that's processed right, whatever it is, it's not like, it's not natural give you whatever comes out of a teat yeah, as shy would call it cookies if it's not produced by cookies.

00:32:02.876 --> 00:32:04.819
I don't want none of it yeah, but.

00:32:06.021 --> 00:32:12.077
But like the grass-fed milk has like good omega-3s and overall it's like great for you.

00:32:12.077 --> 00:32:18.638
So I kind of believe, like keeping it to with anything you got, to keep it to moderation.

00:32:18.910 --> 00:32:20.356
But it's crazy what we grew up on.

00:32:20.356 --> 00:32:26.955
You need to drink three glasses tall glasses of milk to be healthy, or else you're going to die.

00:32:26.955 --> 00:32:28.674
Yeah, apples and milk.

00:32:28.674 --> 00:32:32.201
Yeah, apple a day, three glasses of milk.

00:32:32.201 --> 00:32:35.258
What else were we fed?

00:32:39.471 --> 00:32:40.967
Well, there was the Ramadan fasting.

00:32:40.987 --> 00:32:44.450
Oh god, yeah, you ever fast for the whole month of Ramadan.

00:32:45.333 --> 00:32:47.219
No, I did it a few times.

00:32:47.219 --> 00:32:49.438
It was more for wrestling season.

00:32:49.438 --> 00:32:54.116
When I fell on wrestling season it was easy to do.

00:32:54.116 --> 00:32:55.832
What else we got about diets.

00:32:55.832 --> 00:33:05.130
So some of the things I read like today I was reading an article on, you know, like the way you eat, like your diet.

00:33:05.130 --> 00:33:18.332
You know well with the carnivore diet they say like fiber, you don't necessarily need fiber, fibers would you read that in like a sponsored gq article or is it pubmed?

00:33:18.452 --> 00:33:20.036
no, no, they were saying.

00:33:20.135 --> 00:33:31.002
They were saying people need fiber because of, like, all the bad, malnourished stuff that you take in, undernourished, like foods that you take in.

00:33:31.002 --> 00:33:32.834
So what washes it out?

00:33:33.193 --> 00:33:37.123
so the fiber like yeah, it's people talking.

00:33:37.263 --> 00:33:57.323
It stops you from carnivore diet, though, like people that are pro carnivore diet, they're gonna be a pro fiber or against fiber okay because they, they, they stay strictly away from vegetables you can see like strictly, like here is the sirloin faction and here is the chia seed factions.

00:33:57.323 --> 00:34:01.298
Like you cannot, I I think chia seeds are pretty healthy for you.

00:34:01.298 --> 00:34:04.871
Yeah, I think most people don't take enough fiber.

00:34:04.871 --> 00:34:07.115
Yeah, and I think it's.

00:34:07.115 --> 00:34:13.855
It's good, because fiber you don't absorb it but it like kind of like scrapes the insides clean that's the whole.

00:34:14.034 --> 00:34:21.737
It's like you got to take in high fiber because of all the like processed foods and stuff you're taking in.

00:34:21.737 --> 00:34:24.177
So that kind of clears it out.

00:34:24.177 --> 00:34:26.297
It's like the steel wool for your colon.

00:34:26.297 --> 00:34:28.615
Yeah, that's exactly what it is.

00:34:30.090 --> 00:34:31.617
Three tablespoons of chia seeds.

00:34:31.617 --> 00:34:39.503
I was pounding chia seeds while I was on keto diet.

00:34:39.503 --> 00:34:40.143
There we go.

00:34:40.143 --> 00:34:43.179
Yeah, all you eat is chia seeds.

00:34:45.132 --> 00:34:58.954
So with high-protein diet it's still my go-to for losing weight and everything you can take a decent amount of fats, but like the way to eat your meals.

00:34:58.954 --> 00:35:14.862
Instead of, you know, eating your salad or vegetables first, you should be eating your protein first, because that's going to increase your glp-1 release, so you're going to hit satiety much earlier, and then followed by your fibers and then everything else.

00:35:14.862 --> 00:35:22.858
So if you're going to eat, that's going to get you protein first.

00:35:22.858 --> 00:35:27.298
So have your steak first and then go to your vegetables and everything, like the other mashed potatoes yeah yeah.

00:35:28.452 --> 00:35:30.596
Don't the Europeans eat their dessert first?

00:35:31.117 --> 00:35:31.478
Do they?

00:35:31.478 --> 00:35:34.364
I don't know, I don't know, I don't think so.

00:35:34.364 --> 00:35:36.175
We'll have to fact check that.

00:35:36.175 --> 00:35:42.940
Yeah, but the japanese drink their tea before they eat, right?

00:35:43.541 --> 00:35:50.639
that makes sense, though, because, like, if you have any type of caffeinated beverage, that like fills you up faster.

00:35:51.061 --> 00:36:17.869
Yeah, I don't know about you, but like, if I have a coffee, I can barely eat yeah unless a very sugary coffee drink it's like oh, I can eat a lot um, yeah, because anytime you have any sort of sugar or anything, that's gonna um decrease, like um, or that's gonna increase your hunger, like if you eat sugar, and that's why you take protein first before the sugars.

00:36:17.869 --> 00:36:19.577
That's going to improve it.

00:36:20.150 --> 00:36:36.842
And just like on a personal note, I think the keto things works for me well, or not necessarily even keto, just like low carb or anything low, like not spiking your glycemic index.

00:36:36.842 --> 00:36:43.016
So, even if it's carb, it's like quinoa and not like, and just seeing like that's what.

00:36:43.269 --> 00:36:50.456
That's why I was doing the continuous glucose monitor to see what's really spiking my um sugar levels.

00:36:50.456 --> 00:36:54.760
So I I see what I should stay away from more.

00:36:55.090 --> 00:36:59.425
I want to get a glucose monitor and then just do shots of different types of alcohol.

00:36:59.425 --> 00:37:02.076
See which one you're going to do, be like, oh, this is the one.

00:37:03.092 --> 00:37:08.864
Well, our friend said he did it and he drank beer, and beer didn't spike his sugars.

00:37:09.090 --> 00:37:10.373
He's like, oh, I ate pasta.

00:37:10.373 --> 00:37:15.032
And it was like went through the roof and I tried this and went through the roof, but like I had beers and nothing.

00:37:15.032 --> 00:37:17.954
And I tried this and went through the roof, but like I had beers and nothing, so I just drink beers.

00:37:17.954 --> 00:37:23.335
Now he's in very good shape, yeah, yeah, and talks a lot too.

00:37:23.971 --> 00:37:42.141
When you're out in the streets in Paris and it smells like smoke out in the fucking street, in the huge street, it smells like smoke without anyone surrounding you, there's an issue so do you try to escape that by going inside, and then it smells like dirty pits?

00:37:44.753 --> 00:38:08.567
dirty pits, miss, mixed with some smoke ashes, more smoke oh, we're making friends tonight, yeah, but yeah, what I was gonna say about keto is like when I have simple carbs, it just I don't feel full, like I feel like I can have some more and have some more, and not just feel like I can have some more, but I want some more.

00:38:08.789 --> 00:38:08.889
Yeah.

00:38:09.210 --> 00:38:12.835
So one slice of pizza turns into three or four.

00:38:12.835 --> 00:38:42.159
Where the funny part is, I built up this tolerance and we used to have this residence dinner at Mass General and so like at 7 pm all the residents would go to the cafeteria and they provide pretty much the scraps of whatever they didn't sell throughout the day, because you know how good residents are treated.

00:38:42.159 --> 00:38:45.324
But, um, we were there.

00:38:45.324 --> 00:38:48.273
I'm like this is kind of related to it.

00:38:48.273 --> 00:38:55.324
I was just like dude, I, I can eat like a whole pizza in less than 45 minutes.

00:38:55.324 --> 00:38:56.905
There's no way you can.

00:38:56.905 --> 00:39:05.257
I'm like, oh yeah, I would have said two pizzas if I want to push myself, but I can definitely eat a whole pizza.

00:39:05.257 --> 00:39:08.659
And I was like three, four slices in.

00:39:09.130 --> 00:39:15.840
And I was in the ER shift with my senior and we got called in.

00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:26.976
This lady had a ruptured uh aortic, she had an aortic dissection and just coding about to die.

00:39:26.976 --> 00:39:38.170
So me I was in second year, my third year had to run and nobody else was there, just he was running the code and I'm just doing chest compressions.

00:39:38.170 --> 00:39:58.289
I'm like, oh my god, I, I was four pieces into eating this whole whole piece of like four pieces in and I'm just like popping away and usually we run codes for like what, like 10 to 30 minutes before calling it quits and nobody was there to give me relief from doing chest compressions.

00:39:58.853 --> 00:40:06.849
Yeah, usually you're on there for like a minute, maybe two minutes Two minutes tops right and it felt like 45 minutes.

00:40:06.849 --> 00:40:09.010
I was probably there for like 30 seconds tops.

00:40:09.010 --> 00:40:10.416
It feels long anyways.

00:40:10.789 --> 00:40:13.592
And I was like yo, jeff, I was like Jeff, call the code.

00:40:13.592 --> 00:40:16.681
Like Jeff, I was like call the code, call the code.

00:40:16.681 --> 00:40:18.476
He's like what are you talking about?

00:40:18.476 --> 00:40:21.179
You've been doing this for like 10 seconds.

00:40:21.179 --> 00:40:23.356
Just keep doing the chest compressions.

00:40:23.356 --> 00:40:25.856
Just like, do the chest compressions.

00:40:25.856 --> 00:40:28.137
I'm like, bro, call the code, call the code.

00:40:28.137 --> 00:40:31.199
The family's there watching this whole thing happen.

00:40:31.199 --> 00:40:33.697
Afterwards he was like what's wrong with you?

00:40:33.697 --> 00:40:36.751
He was like what's wrong with you?

00:40:36.751 --> 00:40:38.958
He's like 10 seconds into the code, you're asking me to call the code.

00:40:38.958 --> 00:40:40.802
I was like, dude, you knew she wasn't gonna survive.

00:40:40.802 --> 00:40:45.436
It's like, yeah, I know, but like we just have to like continue, just in case.

00:40:45.436 --> 00:40:55.206
And I'm like, yeah, but, but her family was there and these are like last breaths and I'm about to puke a ton of pizza.

00:40:55.206 --> 00:40:57.132
I was like, please call the code.

00:40:57.132 --> 00:40:59.661
This is not a scenario I want to be a part of.

00:40:59.661 --> 00:41:00.422
Um.

00:41:00.422 --> 00:41:02.710
So, yeah, no, general surgery.

00:41:02.710 --> 00:41:05.996
He was like, okay, I understand now.

00:41:06.356 --> 00:41:23.518
Yeah, you were doing medical codes, oh yeah yeah oh, because it was just like a second and third year in the and we would see all the trauma, all the surgery, no matter what surgical specialty.

00:41:23.518 --> 00:41:26.980
We saw them, got them admitted and we'd sign them in.

00:41:26.980 --> 00:41:28.376
It was the worst.

00:41:28.376 --> 00:41:31.798
It was 24 hours on, 24 hours off, for a whole month.

00:41:31.798 --> 00:41:32.521
That was the setup.

00:41:32.521 --> 00:41:35.123
That was called the pit, and I think the show right now is called the pit.

00:41:35.123 --> 00:41:38.744
Yeah, I think this show right now is called the pit uh, so it is.

00:41:38.865 --> 00:41:39.766
Yeah, I didn't know what.

00:41:39.766 --> 00:41:44.295
I thought it meant pittsburgh medical center no, the pit is the er shift.

00:41:44.456 --> 00:41:45.717
Oh shit, we were.

00:41:45.717 --> 00:41:49.672
We were there 24 hours on, 24 hours off, for a whole night.

00:41:49.672 --> 00:41:55.041
I still remember, like I always remember Jeff was senior.

00:41:55.041 --> 00:41:56.583
He always looked out for me.

00:41:56.583 --> 00:41:58.175
It was the first day.

00:41:58.175 --> 00:41:58.971
I was just like.

00:41:58.971 --> 00:42:12.818
I was literally like I was doing what I thought I was supposed to do, and this like 16 hours into the shift.

00:42:12.818 --> 00:42:14.581
He's like are you okay?

00:42:14.581 --> 00:42:15.755
You don't look normal.

00:42:15.755 --> 00:42:17.436
I'm like yeah, I'm fine.

00:42:17.436 --> 00:42:23.264
He's like you got this patient now and that blah, blah, blah.

00:42:23.264 --> 00:42:24.635
He's like you're not making sense.

00:42:24.635 --> 00:42:27.677
I'm like what do you mean I'm telling you about this patient?

00:42:27.677 --> 00:42:29.329
He's like you're not making sense.

00:42:29.329 --> 00:42:34.963
He's like have you eaten anything since you started at like 7 in the morning yesterday?

00:42:34.963 --> 00:42:40.315
Anything since you started at like seven in the morning yesterday?

00:42:40.315 --> 00:42:40.916
Like no, I'm good though.

00:42:40.916 --> 00:42:42.300
He's like have you drank anything, any water?

00:42:42.300 --> 00:42:42.943
I was like no.

00:42:42.943 --> 00:42:45.652
He's like just just stop doing everything.

00:42:45.652 --> 00:42:48.498
Yeah, go drink some water, eat some food.

00:42:48.498 --> 00:42:52.612
Dude, you, you're your mind looks like it's gonna explode.

00:42:53.414 --> 00:42:56.282
Yeah, those er chefs man, they're brutal.

00:42:56.931 --> 00:42:59.340
It was just bad because you don't operate the whole month.

00:42:59.340 --> 00:43:04.260
You just pretty much package the patient up, wrap them up and hand them off.

00:43:04.260 --> 00:43:06.916
You're like here you go, you guys do the fun stuff.

00:43:07.036 --> 00:43:07.237
Yeah.

00:43:08.630 --> 00:43:11.275
That stuff was brutal, so that's not a good diet.

00:43:11.275 --> 00:43:13.190
Yeah, not like eating and drinking.

00:43:13.791 --> 00:43:19.155
The resident diet was like the worst Like ice cream at midnight, like when you're on call.

00:43:19.155 --> 00:43:21.442
You're like fuck, I need some ice cream.

00:43:21.442 --> 00:43:24.458
You're like it's like I'm depressed.

00:43:24.597 --> 00:43:30.572
I'm gonna grab whatever's there, like ice cream sandwiches, great these are the ice cream.

00:43:30.572 --> 00:43:34.496
Oh, this is great uh, if you're lucky, they have Choco Tacos.

00:43:34.496 --> 00:43:38.101
Yeah, strawberry shortcake.

00:43:38.161 --> 00:43:45.777
Yeah, the call and stress eating was huge Took me back to the ice cream.

00:43:45.777 --> 00:43:48.914
I'm up at night.

00:43:48.934 --> 00:43:50.762
So this is exercise.

00:43:50.762 --> 00:43:56.365
There's a rotation on neurosurgery.

00:43:56.365 --> 00:43:59.130
This was in New.

00:43:59.130 --> 00:43:59.291
Orleans.

00:43:59.291 --> 00:44:06.012
It was like 80 to 120 patients, yeah, and I realized like the reps would always bring in like sandwiches and stuff and just like stress eating.

00:44:06.012 --> 00:44:14.222
No lie, I sat there and stress ate like just half 12 to 14 of them.

00:44:14.722 --> 00:44:16.704
So main things with a diet.

00:44:16.704 --> 00:44:20.637
It's just like just not eating processed foods.

00:44:20.637 --> 00:44:26.673
Eat your proteins first and like Proteins and greens.

00:44:26.954 --> 00:44:27.818
proteins and greens.

00:44:27.818 --> 00:44:34.068
Or, some people don't even eat greens, just eating the steaks three times a day.

00:44:34.190 --> 00:44:43.998
I'm more of an omnivore diet, yeah Healthy balance, healthy balance, I think, if you don't eat processed foods, and you got to just try.

00:44:43.998 --> 00:44:45.943
I think it's worthwhile.

00:44:45.943 --> 00:45:03.175
And the good part is these continuous glucose monitors are becoming more and more available for everyone, so it gives you a chance at seeing what's spiking your blood sugars and how you should control what you eat and stuff to stay away from, and even gut testing and stuff.

00:45:03.175 --> 00:45:05.862
Yeah, that can sometimes help a lot of it.

00:45:06.090 --> 00:45:16.114
You know, like I got a list of I used to just say like if, if, like, just if, you're regularly getting diarrhea from eating certain things stay away from that thing.

00:45:16.114 --> 00:45:17.510
Yeah, Like you know, or?

00:45:17.893 --> 00:45:19.619
it's either diarrhea or constipation.

00:45:19.619 --> 00:45:22.798
If you're not having regular bowel movements, you shouldn't be.

00:45:23.581 --> 00:45:33.675
And and outside of that, the glucose monitor is really good because your glycemic index, like if it's going crazy one way or another, your body's not agreeing to it.

00:45:33.896 --> 00:45:34.056
Yeah.

00:45:35.072 --> 00:45:42.117
Um so nice little tools to have yeah so that and always have a mosquito net.

00:45:42.679 --> 00:45:49.481
Yeah other things, like what do they eat in the blue zones is like like what people say to look at.

00:45:49.481 --> 00:45:53.193
Is it what they eat or people they surround themselves when they eat?

00:45:53.193 --> 00:46:12.635
It is like and like that that's important too, like when it's a lot of fish, yeah, yeah, if you're olive oil and fish, just go olive oil and fish if you're sitting by yourself eating mcdonald's in front of a tv, that's probably not a good way or a healthy way of a diet.

00:46:12.695 --> 00:46:20.119
Having like more but I mean, how many italian people do you know that just argue with each other for no reason, but they're in the blue zone.

00:46:20.159 --> 00:46:20.900
But is that?

00:46:20.900 --> 00:46:23.454
But is that stress eating when they're arguing?

00:46:23.474 --> 00:46:25.679
with each other, or is it releasing the stress?

00:46:25.719 --> 00:46:34.574
so then, they don't, they don't, but like there's different, different ways of family eating, like the paesan way of eating and then the blue zone way of eating.

00:46:34.594 --> 00:46:37.630
You know the soccer games Uncle played at Like.

00:46:37.630 --> 00:46:43.675
There are some people that were like 70, 80 years old, playing soccer on Sundays and smoking cigarettes.

00:46:43.675 --> 00:46:47.039
And they specifically went there to yell at people.

00:46:47.039 --> 00:46:54.096
They ran the field twice and yelled, whether it was their own teammates or another, so I don't know.

00:46:54.096 --> 00:46:58.751
The Blue Zone definitely, definitely it works yeah, well, a lot of it.

00:46:58.771 --> 00:47:01.739
A lot of it's having family or friends that are close to you.

00:47:01.739 --> 00:47:04.052
I think that's like tight knit group that.

00:47:04.514 --> 00:47:08.282
Okay, it's pretty much on the same the social on the same on the same belief.

00:47:08.342 --> 00:47:13.021
And yeah, and most of it comes down to like hey, you didn't pass me the ball.

00:47:13.041 --> 00:47:15.186
I wasn't open, I was in front of the goal you didn't pass me the ball you shot wasn't open.

00:47:15.186 --> 00:47:15.807
I was in front of the goal.

00:47:15.807 --> 00:47:17.996
You didn't pass me the ball, you shot it and you scored a goal.

00:47:17.996 --> 00:47:18.913
Why'd you score the?

00:47:18.932 --> 00:47:19.275
goal.

00:47:19.275 --> 00:47:51.576
Yeah Well, it's finding a purpose and, like the other person's probably not finding a purpose now because he didn't pass him the ball so he might go and just like how, like they say people like when their their significant other dies, then they die yeah because they lose their sense of purpose and that is true and that's kind of the way, like I I think they're saying how the blue zone, the whole, uh, psyche behind that is, is like they, they have a sense of purpose, social in that group.

00:47:51.757 --> 00:47:54.987
Yeah, yeah and everyone brings something to the table.

00:47:54.987 --> 00:47:57.898
You know, they drink a little wine and they have their food.

00:47:57.918 --> 00:48:01.489
I think there's a lot of yeah, diet and non-diet.

00:48:01.489 --> 00:48:04.532
Yeah, the social aspect, age proof, thank you.
