In this episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Joe talks with his good friend and former business partner, Sean Conley. The guys talk about a variety of topics, including: - How much money does the food industry make from soda - Is there a link between obesity and Type 2 diabetes? - Why is there a pandemic of Type 2 Diabetes? - What's the secret to obesity? - Is it really as simple as it sounds? - How bad is the problem? - Who's to blame for chronic disease? - What are the real culprits? - Where's the money going? - Is food the problem or is it the solution?
00:00:21.000I actually, you know, I normally don't bring notes, but I was talking to Callie Means on the way over here.
00:00:26.000And, you know, we're really supporting Bobby Kennedy's whole Maha, you know, movement and trying to officially put a committee together to really give him some great talking points and then bring some of the big influencers together to help him message, you know, around the media.
00:00:40.000And I was like, what are some of the wins that we've had in the last week that I don't know about?
00:03:42.000Of course, it's like all Cheerios and cookies and crackers.
00:03:44.000And I pulled a couple of bottles of these seed oils out.
00:03:47.000And I did a little post about it because I was like, look at all the heart-healthy labels on this.
00:03:53.000And we talked about seed oils last time.
00:03:56.000And I get attacked a lot for it, for saying that these polyunsaturated fatty acids are bad for you.
00:04:01.000But a lot of times, it's actually not the...
00:04:04.000The plant itself, it's the distance from the plant to the table.
00:04:07.000Right. Can you explain, because you were explaining the other day to us the process that it takes to turn rapeseed oil, which is what canola is.
00:06:04.000And so this is a chemically controlled process.
00:06:06.000And it's, you know, again, it's not back to the polyunsaturated fatty acids per se.
00:06:11.000It's the pro-inflammatory process that they cause in these foam cells and the inflammation in our arterial wall, which actually calls cause.
00:06:20.000Right. So the theory that if we had fewer firemen,
00:06:41.000we'd have less fires is kind of absurd.
00:07:01.000The firemen, which was called to the site of inflammation, meaning we reduced the cholesterol, which was called to the site of inflammation to cause the repair, rather than ask what started the fire, that notion is about to be, I think, blown out of the water by big data.
00:07:17.000I think you're going to see big data, artificial intelligence, and early detection in the next five years are just going to circumvent the entire system.
00:07:25.000Do you think there's a possibility of removing food oils from the market?
00:07:31.000I don't think that we'll ever replace...
00:07:37.000I think what's really interesting is the chemical processing.
00:07:41.000So another really good thing, and I'm helping to author this paper with Kelly Means and a bunch of other folks to present it to Bobby Kennedy in looking at the genesis of chronic disease.
00:07:55.000And I know lots of people have talked about this on your show, so I won't belabor the point, but...
00:07:59.000If you look at the spending of $4.5 trillion a year on healthcare in the United States, and then you say, "Well, what do we lead the world in?" Well, as of December 6th, we were ranked 66th in the world in life expectancy.
00:08:10.000We lead the world in morbid obesity, type 2 diabetes, multiple chronic disease in the single biome, meaning not just our population has multiple different chronic diseases, but multiple chronic diseases in the same biome.
00:08:23.000Because most people don't just have one autoimmune disease, or they're not just hypertensive and diabetic.
00:08:28.000They're hypertensive, diabetic, and hypothyroid with an autoimmune, usually multiple autoimmune.
00:08:33.000We lead the world in infant mortality, maternal mortality.
00:08:37.000And so you've got to ask yourself, how is $4.5 trillion a year in spending leading to these kinds of consequences?
00:08:43.000And very often, it's actually not the food.
00:08:47.000It's the distance from the food to the table.
00:08:52.000It's what we're doing to process these plants to get them on the table.
00:08:56.000And so I think what you're going to see is these grass guidelines, generally regarded as safe, which is essentially how the FDA decides whether or not you can micropoison the population.
00:09:06.000So we are allowed to micropoison the population, right?
00:09:09.000We're allowed to put certain amounts of pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, preservatives.
00:09:14.000That is a great way of putting it, too.
00:09:20.000And a lot of experts will say that dosage determines the poison.
00:09:25.000And that's largely untrue when you talk about cumulative dose toxicity, meaning...
00:09:32.000If I give you this sandwich and, you know, this piece of tuna fish and it has a very small safe amount of lead or mercury, it's probably not going to hurt you, right?
00:09:43.000But if you don't methylate that metal out of your body, and you keep eating that same kind of fish, I mean, nobody got mercury poisoning from a single piece of tuna fish.
00:09:50.000What they got mercury poisoning from was continuing to eat the same thing over and over and over and over again, and they got a cumulative dose toxicity, which is what a lot of foreign countries use.
00:10:00.000So in other words, I can't just say, if I put, you know, one drop of arsenic in this glass, is that going to kill you?
00:10:08.000It might make you mildly sick, cause an inflammatory process.
00:10:19.000We got here by slowly stacking these micropoisons.
00:10:23.000Right, but is it possible to change all of, like, whatever we use seed oil for, is it possible to swap that out for olive oil or beef tallow?
00:10:34.000Yes. I know there's some companies doing, like, Masa makes these great tortilla chips.
00:11:44.000So you think that all the foods, all the salad dressings and all the French fries and all the things that are cooked in food oil, we have enough beef tallow, we have enough olive oil, we have enough avocado oil that we could...
00:11:59.000Switch all those things out and everything would be great.
00:12:02.000There is no question that we have the capacity to produce these.
00:12:05.000And we have the capacity to produce them now.
00:12:07.000I mean, a lot of these farms don't use the bones from these cattle.
00:12:11.000They don't use the hide from these cattle.
00:12:12.000They don't boil on the collagen from these cattle.
00:12:14.000And they certainly are not making the tallow from the fat from the cattle that are being slaughtered.
00:12:19.000So there's a lot of tallow that's going to waste.
00:12:21.000A lot of tallow, a lot of bone broth, a lot of bones, a lot of cartilage, you know, that's entirely going to waste.
00:14:15.000I said, I listened to a panel of PhDs for four hours debate about whether or not a microaggression is something that could happen to you that you don't recognize that was causing a microtrauma that the other person didn't realize they were doing,
00:16:24.000What's really interesting is if you just take a very 30,000 foot view and you say, let's just look at the broad strokes in the blue zone research, right?
00:16:33.000There's no continuity between diets in these blue zones.
00:16:36.000So it's not keto, paleo, pescatarian, vegan, vegetarian, raw food, Atkins.
00:16:44.000It's whole food, just what you were just saying.
00:16:46.000Whole food and a lot of healthy lifestyle.
00:16:48.000Whole food, well, the two things that were non-interchangeable were sense of purpose and community and activity until later in life.
00:16:54.000So you didn't have any of the blue zones where people didn't feel a sense of purpose and community in life.
00:16:59.000In fact, there were no such things as assisted care living facilities.
00:17:03.000You know, the assisted care in those countries is mom and dad move back in with the kids until the day that they die.
00:17:10.000And there's a lot to be said for that because...
00:17:13.000Maybe Grandma's only purpose is to go out and get vegetables for dinner that night, but she has a purpose.
00:17:21.000And she's not locked up in a home with a bunch of people who don't really care about her.
00:17:25.000Yeah. You know, we knew something in the mortality space, because I used to study mortality and mortality research, and we knew that if you wanted to cut somebody's life expectancy in half at any age, and I mean at any age, you put them in isolation.
00:17:44.000You dramatically reduce, if not half, the life expectancy.
00:17:48.000Now, later in life, we would call this broken heart syndrome, caregiver syndrome.
00:17:53.000And these were actually very valid syndromes.
00:17:55.000So if we actually were doing the life expectancy on an elderly spouse who is still applying for insurance or we were looking at what's called a second to die claim on life insurance policy and one spouse had passed away, we would dramatically reduce the life expectancy
00:18:26.000In fact, if you look at the rates of depression, suicide, suicidal ideation, obesity, chronic mental illness, and I think we actually have a chronic lack of mental fitness, not necessarily a mental illness crisis in this country.
00:18:39.000And if you look at the skyrocketing rates of these conditions and how they are creeping into younger and younger and younger generations, you've got nine-year-olds being treated for depression now.
00:20:08.000We're building these old school, like really authentic log cabins on there.
00:20:13.000And I write about this all the time because in Miami, I have this really fancy place and I've got all this fancy equipment, you know, red light therapy beds, hyper barracks, hydrogen beds, all that stuff.
00:20:23.000But I'll go out to this Colorado home.
00:24:28.000At some point, we have the capacity to replace these oils.
00:24:34.000We actually have a way to get back away from industrial farming and get back to local farming.
00:24:41.000I have a very good friend named Alfie Oaks, and he owns one of the more profitable grocery stores in America.
00:24:48.000It's in Naples, Florida, called Seed to Table.
00:24:52.000He took me out by helicopter one time, and we hopped around to a bunch of his organic fields.
00:24:57.000He's got thousands of acres in the middle of the state of Florida.
00:24:59.000And he showed me how he's not only able to grow produce organically for less money than he would grow it if he had to use herbicides and pesticides and chemicals.
00:25:15.000He's able to pick it at 9 o'clock in the morning and have it on the grocery store shelf by 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
00:25:21.000And I watched the whole process go down.
00:25:22.000Thousands and thousands of these acres.
00:25:24.000And white flies are the pest flies they're trying to avoid.
00:25:28.000Instead of spraying for these white flies, what they do is they just use this reflective cellophane.
00:25:32.000They run it down the rows of crops, and it creates this reflection, and it scatters them to the woods.
00:25:39.000And so now the white flies are not eating the crops.
00:26:19.000And when he talks about the fact that we've been spraying some of these fields for so many decades or so many years with these herbicides and insecticides, that there is not a pest for, in some cases,
00:27:26.000You can actually read the science on it.
00:27:27.000I think there's two people in the world now.
00:27:30.000I mean, those that have read the science and take hydrogen gas, drink hydrogen water, and those that don't or just haven't read the science because...
00:27:38.000Hydrogen gas, first of all, it's the lightest element in the universe.
00:27:42.000It's also the most prevalent element in the universe.
00:28:01.000So if you look at oxidative stressors like nitric oxide or superoxide or hydrogen peroxide, so all of these oxidative stressors, they can be good in certain amounts.
00:28:13.000You need a certain amount of nitric oxide in your body, but too much nitric oxide is bad.
00:28:22.000So if you were to take an antioxidant like vitamin C, And take very, very high doses of antioxidants.
00:28:29.000This can be very bad for you because you're suppressing too much oxidation in the body.
00:28:34.000You're actually suppressing these oxidative stressors too much.
00:28:39.000Hydrogen, on the other hand, uses the body's homeostatic process to suppress inflammation.
00:28:46.000So in other words, it works through something called the NRF2 pathway.
00:28:51.000It affects a protein called NRF2, which moves into the DNA.
00:28:56.000Binds to the DNA, and then the DNA spits out the instructions for catalase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione.
00:29:03.000So in other words, you're actually using the body's regulatory system to actually control inflammation instead of externally trying to control inflammation.
00:29:13.000And the second thing it does is it targets the only oxidative-free radical that I think all of the science points to, which is hydroxyl radical.
00:29:42.000There's a really interesting study published on the Journal of Experimental Gerontology, and it was published in November of 2021.
00:29:51.000And most of these clinical research studies, they'll look at younger populations, like healthier, younger populations.
00:29:57.000But this actually looked at a six-month study on hydrogen water versus non-hydrogen water in 70-year-old and older folks.
00:30:06.000And they used something called TET2 to measure methylation.
00:30:10.000They measured cognitive function, sleep scores, sit-stand ratios, how well they're able to sit and stand, telomere lengths in their chromosomes.
00:30:18.000And the really fascinating thing about this study is it was done during COVID.
00:30:22.000So these seniors were basically imprisoned.
00:30:47.0004%. They had better short-term recall, better cognitive scores, better circulation, improvement in cardiac markers, improvement in inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein.
00:30:57.000I think it's the greatest biohack on earth.
00:31:01.000That and some sea salt and some amino acids, like a perfect amino, just covering your bases.
00:31:06.000I think those are your foundational basics for OptiMild.
00:32:33.000Some that make nanoparticles or nanobubbles, which are about 1 500th the diameter of a human pore.
00:32:39.000So if you run these things on your face, it'll actually push all the sebum out of your skin.
00:32:42.000It'll get rid of dandruff, psoriasis, eczema.
00:32:46.000If you have any kind of inflammatory condition like knees, hips, shoulder, rotator cuff, arthritis, low back, bathing in hydrogen gas can be one of the most therapeutic things that you do.
00:32:56.000Really? Can you add it to a cold plunge?
00:33:53.000It creates the hydrogen gas by taking distilled water and breaking distilled water apart and then throwing the gas into the water.
00:34:01.000And it is noticeably different when you bathe in this gas or not.
00:34:06.000Like, I had Sean Ryan over to my house for a podcast one time and, you know, he's all banged up from being a Navy SEAL and he's got nips and bibbles all over his body and he just thought it was really weird because I was like, dude, you gotta get my bathtub.
00:34:23.000This episode is brought to you by MeUndies.
00:34:38.000I wear their stuff all the time, and I can't recommend them enough.
00:34:41.000Seriously, their underwear feels good while giving me the support that I need.
00:34:45.000And I can't mention MeUndies without talking about their contoured pouch and ball caddy.
00:34:50.000Confidence is key, and you're guaranteed to feel that with a pair of these.
00:34:54.000They're comfortable, supportive, and make you look good.
00:34:57.000Or, go with another one of their briefs.
00:35:21.000As much as I've been talking about their underwear, MeUndies also has some great loungewear.
00:35:25.000It's made with the same soft material so you can be comfortable head to toe, which, I don't know about you guys, but if I'm kicking back at home, I want to be wearing something I can relax in.
00:36:45.000I mean, John Jones has been very public about, you know, working with me.
00:36:50.000I haven't talked to him in a little while, but right before his last fight, I brought him one of these hydrogen machines to bathe in, and we just set up the tub at his house.
00:38:03.000And when they removed the hydrogen gas, all of the benefits of alkaline water went away.
00:38:12.000So the benefits from alkaline water are coming from the excess presence of hydrogen gas.
00:38:18.000And even when you add hydrogen gas to Regular water, it will drop the ORP.
00:38:27.000It will make the oxidative reduction potential negative.
00:38:30.000So it has more of a capacity to donate electrons.
00:38:34.000So I just think it's a phenomenal discovery, and it's dirt cheap.
00:38:38.000When you were telling me that these bottles, water bottles that generate hydrogen, they're great in the beginning, but that over time they deteriorate.
00:38:47.000Would the same issue happen with the hydrogen generators that you would use for the cold plunges?
00:39:10.000I'm about to put a press release out about it.
00:39:13.000I actually just won a $16 million civil judgment against a fake hydrogen water bottle company that used my name, image, and likeness to run a bunch of ads and sold tens of millions of dollars in these bottles.
00:39:24.000But essentially, at the bottom of these bottles, there's something called a proton exchange membrane.
00:39:29.000And this proton exchange membrane comes in contact with the water through electrolysis, and it creates the hydrogen gas.
00:39:38.000The problem with these bottles is that this electrolysis process, if you put tap water in there and use chlorine, can actually create chlorine.
00:39:46.000gas. You can also create something called hypochloric acid.
00:39:50.000So what happens is over time, the bottles that I tested, because I used to be a huge fan of these bottles, and I carried them everywhere.
00:39:59.000And I would notice that it didn't bubble as much, you know, four or five months after I, you know, had the bottle.
00:41:23.000So it's circulating through this machine and it's creating, you know, using electrolysis and creating the hydrogen gas going back and...
00:41:31.000to the tub because you don't need you're not trying to drink a therapeutic dose you're trying to bathe in a dose you don't need as high par per million so you don't need the pressure but the really cool thing is because if you do it in a cold plunge and when I pull this off I'll send you one if you do it in a cold plunge because you know as the temperature drops the more you can dissolve more gas in that volume of liquid so ideally you would have the When
00:42:22.000I bathe in that hydrogen gas, so my wife, Sage, I had a really bad car accident right before we met 10 years ago, and she severely damaged her spine, her L5-S1, and ended up having to have a spinal fusion.
00:43:12.000Well, it seems like the more effective way is to do it in a warm tub, though, because you can stay in there for longer, so you'd get more exposure.
00:43:20.000So you would get less hydrogen but more exposure than the three-minute cold plunge?
00:45:46.000I mean, so many people aren't in any inflammatory.
00:45:47.000So many people are suffering from inflammation, not just neural inflammation in the brain, but nonspecific markers of inflammation like C-reactive protein, homocysteine, that are causing all kinds of havoc.
00:45:59.000I mean, you think about the fact that about 70% of our circulation is not done by our heart.
00:46:06.000Our heart circulates about 30% of the blood in our body, but the other 70% of the circulation is an activity called vasomotor or vasomotion.
00:47:34.000It's this wave-like motion called vasomotor or vasomotion.
00:47:40.000And vascular laxity, how the laxity that's in your vessels matters, your blood viscosity matters, and inflammation matters.
00:47:49.000This is why when you look at the percentage of high blood pressure diagnoses, for example, if you were to just Google what percentage of Hypertension, primary hypertension, essential hypertension, or high blood pressure is idiopathic,
00:48:13.000And so we examine these people's heart, EKG, EEG, heart sounds, lung sounds, maybe a Dicontra study, maybe a CT angiogram, maybe some other kind of diagnostic heart imaging.
00:48:26.000We can't find anything wrong with the heart.
00:48:28.000And we medicate the heart anyway, generally for a crime that's not committing, when there's an 85% chance it's actually something other than the heart.
00:48:36.000And we never look to the microvascular circulation.
00:48:38.000We never look to the 70% of our circulation that's actually not done by our heart.
00:48:41.000What are we doing to cater to that 70% of our circulation?
00:48:45.000Well, things like resveratrol, hydrogen gas, lowering our homocysteine, which is...
00:48:55.000I use an amino acid called trimethylglycine to help people metabolize homocysteine because those microvasculature is very susceptible to high levels of homocysteine.
00:49:05.000And there's so many people that have ailments that are consequences of poor circulation.
00:49:18.000So for example, But we're focused on concentration, lots of autoimmune conditions.
00:49:26.000If you look at the circulation in the brain, liver, lungs, pancreas, kidneys, you'll see that the majority of this circulation is microvascular.
00:49:33.000You know, I've talked about why you and I both had a positive experience, for example, with red light.
00:50:12.000Because it restores healthy vasomotor activity.
00:50:16.000So much microvasculature in our body that we don't really cater to this entire segment of our circulatory system.
00:50:23.000Think about how small a capillary and artery has to be to carry a fluid to the edge of the lung, exchange a gas with the inside of the lung, pull that gas into the fluid and not bleed into the lung.
00:50:37.000So just think about how tiny that tube has to be and how many of those you have to have.
00:50:44.000Because don't forget, right outside of your lungs, you've got fluid.
00:50:46.000Those alveoli are grabbing gas and throwing that into a fluid.
00:50:50.000Well, at some point, that pipe has to meet a piece of tissue.
00:50:55.000How is it not bleeding into that tissue?
00:51:00.000This is also where hydrogen gas comes into play.
00:51:04.000I don't know where I was going with that point, but I just find it fascinating that we've got so many things that we can do to cater to a lot of these ailments that people chalk up to a consequence of aging.
00:51:15.000And they can be as simple as catering to that portion of your circulatory system.
00:51:21.000It would be so fascinating to run a study, a long-term study on twins, identical twins, and have one person just eat the standard American diet and the other person follow all these protocols.
00:51:32.000Hydrogen gas, fitness, healthy food, no seed oil, no drinking, and just see.
00:51:39.000What do they look like after 20 years?
00:51:44.000Wild. Be like sending one of them to space, you know?
00:51:46.000And it's so funny because, you know, we're so wrapped around our medical system that's really 50-60.
00:51:56.000years old, 70 years old, and how important a randomized clinical trial is, and placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial that's been peer-reviewed, and all of this.
00:52:05.000But we negate the Eastern philosophies that very often have been around for thousands of years.
00:52:11.000And I almost have more, lend more validity to something that's actually stood the test of time.
00:52:17.000Something that doesn't work is not going to last a thousand years.
00:52:21.000By virtue of the fact that it doesn't work.
00:52:24.000When we were in the mortality space, we never used randomized clinical trials.
00:52:29.000And I think what you're about to see now that I was alluding to before is we built an entire system on the most rigorous scientific study being the randomized clinical...
00:53:17.000And one of the things I used to get just absolutely slaughtered for was I spoke out about the simple LDL hypothesis of cholesterol, saying that there is no correlation between elevated levels of LDL cholesterol on its own and cardiovascular disease.
00:54:42.000And you've been a little sad lately, so now you're on an SSRI.
00:54:46.000And your thyroid is hypofunction, so now you're also on a synthroid or levothyroxine or armothyroid.
00:54:54.000And, you know, your blood's gotten a little thick because you're On hormone therapy, so now you are on a blood thinner.
00:55:00.000We've never studied the compounding effect of all of these different pharmaceuticals in the same biome.
00:55:08.000We just assumed that the randomized clinical trial in these independent silos is valid, even though we're going to smack all of these things together.
00:55:16.000One of the things that we learned in the mortality space was the more pharmaceuticals you were on, Jesus.
00:56:21.000In the acute phase of a pain or injury, they can be very beneficial.
00:56:24.000But what they used to do is, because these were repetitive use injuries, and, you know, very often they would just dose the athlete up before a game.
00:56:36.000You know, he's one of those careers that ended early, very likely, because of cortisone injections.
00:56:40.000And you keep injecting the same ligamentous tissue with cortisone, eventually you will weaken that tissue and it will snap.
00:56:47.000First, it has an anti-inflammatory reaction, but then it starts to break down the cartilage like a termite.
00:56:54.000In fact, it was so accurate that very often what would happen is people would get misdiagnosed with
00:57:03.000like rheumatoid because they had the same symptomology as rheumatoid.
00:57:11.000But what they actually had was a long-term clinical deficiency in vitamin D3.
00:57:17.000And you would see that they would have single-digit vitamin D3 for decades, and then all of a sudden, they would start to present with symptoms that mimicked rheumatoid.
00:57:26.000They would say, hey, doc, you know, my soles of my feet and ankles are sore when I get out of bed in the morning to go take my first pee.
00:57:32.000I feel like I had a workout the night before when I haven't.
01:01:35.000I did want to ask you about cholesterol before I forget.
01:01:38.000Where did the narrative come from that there's good cholesterol and bad cholesterol, and that HDL's good, LDL's bad, you want to lower your LDL, and you want to take a statin?
01:01:51.000So, you know, high-density lipoprotein and low-density lipoprotein, you know, the HDL, the high-density lipoprotein, is generally considered the good.
01:02:02.000cholesterol and the LDL, the low density or VLDL, very low density lipoprotein are considered the bad cholesterol because they're softer, right?
01:02:10.000But what we know now is that the size of the cholesterol molecule matters a lot.
01:02:16.000In other words, the smaller the particulate size of cholesterol, the easier it is to cross into the arterial wall.
01:02:25.000It gets eaten by macrophage, and it forms something called a foam cell, which is essentially this foam cell process of oxidized cholesterol is what is the genesis of narrowing of the arteries.
01:02:37.000But again, we have to remember that cholesterol is called to the site of inflammation.
01:02:43.000So if you had two people, one with cholesterol of 100 and LDL cholesterol, and another one with cholesterol of 129, does a person with 129 have a higher Incidence of cardiovascular disease?
01:02:56.000No. Does the person of 129 have a greater risk of a cardiovascular event?
01:03:03.000No, just because they have elevated LDL cholesterol.
01:03:06.000Now, if you start to look at other markers like C-reactive protein, which is a great marker for cardiovascular risk, if you look at triglyceride cholesterol ratio, because remember, fat, triglyceride, is largely transported around the body on the surface of cholesterol.
01:03:22.000So if cholesterol was a tennis ball, The fuzzy yellow surface would be a fat triglyceride.
01:03:28.000And if you remember from high school geometry, as the size of a sphere gets smaller, its surface area to volume ratio goes up.
01:03:36.000So what that means is if I had two baskets...
01:03:59.000I remember my clinic when Dr. Sardi used to tape these things to the wall because she would do these shoulder injections on people and they would get woozy and she would just crack one of those smelling salts and they'd come right back.
01:04:10.000They used to use them for boxers when they got knocked out.
01:04:12.000When they got rocked and they'd get into the corner, they'd give them smelling salts and they'd wake right up.
01:05:15.000As the amount of triglyceride went up, the size of the cholesterol molecule got smaller.
01:05:22.000So the two basketballs and the 32 BBs are the same volume of cholesterol, same nanogram per deciliter of cholesterol, just vastly different sizes.
01:06:34.000And Asim would tell you the same thing, that he fought the British Medical Journal and got publications that he was trying to have published, pulled because he was fighting the narrative on statins, one of the biggest drugs in the world.
01:06:50.000We knew in the mortality space that the centenarians that we were processing death claims on, I don't recall a time during my career when we had...
01:07:03.000And these people were dying with elevated levels of LDL cholesterol,
01:07:28.000which you would think, well, wouldn't they have died a lot younger of cardiovascular disease?
01:07:32.000And now the data is starting to come out to support these other metabolic issues like hyperinsulinemia, hypertriglyceridemia, high blood sugar, that these are villains
01:07:47.000precede cholesterol attaching to the arterial wall.
01:07:52.000And so when we talk about metabolic health, we really –
01:07:59.000We should be looking at our blood pressure, our abdominal obesity, our sugars mainly, whether or not what our fasting blood glucose is, what the three-month average of our blood sugar is, our hemoglobin A1c,
01:09:03.000It's a blood and urine test, and essentially it tells you whether you've got mold, mycotoxins, heavy metals, all of these different things.
01:09:11.000The amount of BPAs in my blood, and I would consider myself pretty on top of my diet game.
01:09:19.000The amount of BPAs, there are traces of jet fuel, there are aflatoxins.
01:09:47.000It was actually in my daughter's apartment.
01:09:50.000We actually ended up having our doctor write a letter and break her lease, and we moved her into an apartment right next to us in Coconut Grove in Florida.
01:10:00.000But she was starting to have, and she's a nurse, and she was starting to have these strange symptoms, just brain fog.
01:10:07.000Her joints were just killing her in the morning.
01:10:11.000By the end of the day, her ankles were swollen.
01:10:13.000Her mood started to collapse, like the peaks and valleys of her mood kind of went away.
01:10:21.000You know, I was bringing her over to the house and obviously as a biohacker, I'm trying to solve everything.
01:10:25.000So I was like, we got to do this vibrant wellness test medicine.
01:11:07.000I mean, there are people that right now that have severe brain fog, they have joint pain, they have really poor focus and concentration and short term memory issues, they've got hormone imbalance, they've got water retention, and they got swollen ankles.
01:11:27.000And you don't see this on a standard blood test.
01:11:30.000And when you do something like a vibrant and you look at these This mold toxicity, you get rid of it and you see the entire blood panel, you know, comes back into optimal ranges and they feel amazing.
01:11:44.000Just like my daughter, we did EB02, we did sauna, we did gut binders, activated charcoal binders, high doses of glutathione.
01:11:52.000And over the next few weeks, we slowly walked, you know, this mold right out of her.
01:11:59.000system, but people suffer from this all the time.
01:12:01.000In fact, I've been deep down the rabbit hole of a lot of the foundations of these autoimmune diseases because in my previous clinic, we had 150, 160,000 patients come through
01:13:11.000And if you just eliminated four things, mold mycotoxin, heavy metals, viruses, and parasites, just those four categories, I believe you would get to the majority of the genesis of...
01:13:25.000Some of these autopsy studies on multiple sclerosis, for example, were 100% positive for certain colonies of helminths.
01:13:35.000Helminths? That means saying that everybody that has multiple sclerosis has parasitic infection.
01:14:01.000There's categories of helminths that are very, very healthy.
01:14:04.000And some of the underdeveloped countries in the world where actually they have these healthy parasites, which we've wiped out for the large part here, they don't get multiple sclerosis or they have very, very low incidence of multiple sclerosis.
01:14:16.000And one of the theories is that because we have We have disrupted the balance of not only bacteria, but parasites in our gut, specifically TSO parasites, which are healthy parasites that the pathogenic parasites proliferate,
01:14:34.000and their larvae burrow into the myelin sheath, and they're part of the genesis of multiple sclerosis.
01:14:41.000My whole point in saying that is, if you take any pathogen, let's just take this one right here.
01:14:49.000So I don't know if the audience could see this, but let's say this was a mold spore or mycotoxin or this was a heavy metal or even a virus.
01:15:14.000I mean, but when a virus, when the nucleocapsid protein of a virus attaches to a cell and injects its DNA, that's the way that it takes over that cell.
01:15:24.000It's kind of like being bitten by the zombie, right?
01:15:26.000I mean, a virus is not a living thing.
01:15:27.000It's an envelope that's wrapped around DNA.
01:15:30.000But when that envelope attaches to the cell wall and it squirts the DNA inside, now the virus has taken over the host cell, right?
01:15:51.000It has to break through this cell wall.
01:15:53.000And very often, in order to do that, it needs to manufacture an antibody to this cell.
01:16:00.000If you look, for example, for Hashimoto's, which a lot of people have, These people have Hashimoto's and they're told, okay, well, you woke up one day and your immune system decided to attack the thyroid.
01:16:17.000You know, you're manufacturing antibodies to your thyroid.
01:16:20.000And so, well, why is it attacking my thyroid?
01:16:35.000So you couldn't have inherited it from your ancestor.
01:16:38.000Because it now runs in your family, you're told that you have a genetically inherited disease, and now you have to subscribe to a lifetime of medication.
01:16:46.000Instead of taking a step back and saying, well, what would have called my immune system to that site?
01:16:52.000Look at the incidence of heavy metal toxicity, mercury poisoning, in Hashimoto's.
01:16:57.000Look at the amount of lead and mercury poisoning in Hashimoto's because the thyroid has an affinity for heavy metals.
01:17:04.000And very often when they retreat into the thyroid, the immune system will chase them there.
01:17:08.000And look at the genesis of a lot of Crohn's disease.
01:17:11.000I mean, a lot of Crohn's disease has to do with the disruption of the single cell layer in your gut that allows bacteria and other pathogenic contents that should stay inside the luminal wall of your gut.
01:17:22.000They leak out and they're in an area that they don't belong and the immune system is attacking them there.
01:17:27.000And then we want to hold the immune system responsible for the crime and say, hey, we're going to arrest the police officer for what this criminal did.
01:17:38.000I mean, those contents are in areas of the body where they don't belong.
01:17:50.000Instead of saying, what contents could be leaking from my gut that are causing the immune system to light up?
01:17:56.000And you could just keep going through lots of autoimmune diseases like this, you know, multiple sclerosis, a lot of these conditions.
01:19:04.000What were their other inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein, creatine phosphokinase?
01:19:09.000What were the other lifestyle factors that were going on?
01:19:12.000And what you'll find is correlation between high levels of cholesterol and people that have cardiovascular disease, but not because of the cholesterol, because of all of the diet and lifestyle risk factors that go around it.
01:19:29.000But we can build a multi-billion dollar, in fact, a trillion dollar industry by just lowering this one biomarker.
01:19:36.000And when we lower this biomarker, if that biomarker were directly linked to all-cause mortality, if it were directly linked to the incidence of cardiovascular disease, then we would see in the population where we lowered this biomarker, we would see an extension of mortality,
01:19:52.000right? Because we said this biomarker was high, LDL.
01:20:54.000When you jump outside of that box, you've got to be talking to somebody who's willing to say, okay, you probably have to pay me cash.
01:21:01.000You probably have put my malpractice at risk.
01:21:04.000I don't have malpractice coverage for this type of treatment.
01:21:07.000Not because they're breaking the law, but because they're not within the standard of care.
01:21:11.000It's just like when physicians started to prescribe ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine for COVID when it wasn't the standard of care, even though there were millions and millions and millions.
01:21:22.000So... What happens is you develop a herd mentality because the system for reimbursement,
01:21:41.000how they get paid, the system for coverage, how they get malpractice coverage, and the system for their career is all dependent on things being inside of a certain box.
01:21:51.000The standard of care for someone with elevated LDL cholesterol is to put them on a statin.
01:21:57.000If you don't do that, you could be risking your license.
01:22:04.000Because pharma dictates that that's the standard of care.
01:22:07.000They also dictate the reimbursement rates.
01:22:09.000And so if you look at the study that was done in 2016 by Harvard, which determined that medical error was the third leading cause of death.
01:22:18.000I think it was repeated by Hopkins in 2019.
01:22:21.000But the Harvard study in 2016 is very clear that the third leading cause of death in America is medical error.
01:22:30.000And when you look into the study for why, you know, were doctors just killing people?
01:22:35.000No. What happened was they looked at ICD-9, ICD-10, ICD-11 codes, how they're coding the diagnosis of what's happened to you.
01:22:46.000I have to, as a doctor, I've got to sort of slot you into a diagnostic code so I can get reimbursed and you can get medication and we can all get paid.
01:22:56.000But if I don't have a diagnosis to slot you into, I got to pick sort of the next nearest one.
01:23:03.000And there is no diagnosis or way for me to be reimbursed or to make a living if I go, look, Joe, your hemoglobin A1C is like fantastic.
01:23:35.000I think a lot of that is going to begin to change.
01:23:55.000You're going to see Bobby Kennedy and his team, again, in my opinion, you're going to see Bobby Kennedy and his team, which have been empowered to make real change, not just getting poison out of our food supply and having the generally regarded as safe guidelines look at food safety before we put it into the public domain,
01:24:21.000but you're really going to see him go after.
01:24:24.000Corruption in our nutritional research, corruption in our governmental oversight bodies.
01:24:31.000How is it that we can have people that sit in the Food and Drug Administration and regulate private industry and at the end of that regulatory career go in to work for the same industry that they purported to regulate?
01:24:46.000And sometimes for 10 times what they would make as a regulator.
01:25:50.000So if I make a pharmaceutical that goes into your body, but somebody invested in my company to make that pharmaceutical, my responsibility is to them, not to you.
01:26:00.000So now you get harmed, I'm held harmless.
01:26:05.000But if I harm him by not selling it to you for the right margin, he gets to put me in prison.
01:26:16.000It's so ass-backwards, and it's such an uphill sludge.
01:26:19.000I mean, what the current administration has to do, what Bobby Kennedy has to do, is sort of restructure decades and decades of what's essentially corruption.
01:26:34.000And there's a lot of people fighting him on it, man.
01:26:38.000Wow. I could only imagine because the amount of profit, you know, when you're talking about these industries, the amount of money they generate is astronomical.
01:26:47.000And they're responsible for so much of the advertising revenue of mainstream media that mainstream media not only will not cover the negative aspects of their drugs but will heavily criticize anyone
01:27:18.000Go to schools, put physical education back into schools, get highly processed foods out of the schools, and actually not to fat-shame kids, but to pro-bodymorphic.
01:27:29.000Like, yes, it's okay to not want to be sloppy and out of shape and to call that out and to actually be physically fit and healthy.
01:27:38.000It's not that you have to be there to gain status, but it's okay to not want to be fat.
01:27:44.000Well, there's also, there's the, look, I don't think you should shame people and be cruel to them.
01:27:49.000However, if someone pulls you aside and says, hey, Bobby.
01:27:54.000You're overweight and it's fucking up your health and, you know, it's really bad for you.
01:28:00.000If that makes you feel bad and that feeling bad inspires a change in your lifestyle, in your diet, in exercise routines and what you do, that's positive.
01:28:31.000It's one of the most important aspects of athletics.
01:28:34.000Because athletics are a very clear, it's a very clear formula that the more work you put in, the harder you train, the more results you'll get.
01:28:44.000As long as you're not overtraining and, you know, you do it correctly.
01:28:49.000Yeah. You work hard, you will get results.
01:28:56.000It's a vehicle for the rest of your life.
01:28:58.000If you can learn that at a young age, that's why I think athletics are so important for young people.
01:29:03.000If you can learn that at an early age, that the discomfort is necessary for growth.
01:29:08.000Being tired, pushing yourself, working out when you don't want to, pushing yourself to the point where your body has to adapt and grow and become stronger.
01:29:19.000It is a part of this process, and it's beneficial.
01:29:22.000And through doing that, you will actually feel better.
01:30:00.000Feel discomfort voluntarily is so difficult when people have this sedentary lifestyle and this lazy mind and this entitlement that so many people have where they feel like the world owes them something.
01:31:37.000But thankfully, the general, the general is what I call the one part of my brain that I try to keep the most dominant, where I tell myself, shut the fuck up.
01:35:47.000And they would snap their hooks forward.
01:35:49.000And... So we get there and we're like, this is way too freaking dangerous.
01:35:55.000And I guess the company that they had hired to clear all these fishermen just took their money and said the whole course was going to be lit.
01:39:48.000There were these women that were running this race, I kid you not, that they had Montezuma's revenge so bad that they would leave the race course and run into the bay that we were running beside and just shit themselves in the bay and then get back out and keep running the race.
01:40:03.000And the guy that set the world record in
01:40:08.000Left the course in an ambulance in Cartagena.
01:40:12.000My friend Cam Haynes, when he was preparing for one of those ultra runs, when you run for three days, like 240 miles, he was running a marathon a day while he was working an eight-hour job.
01:42:24.000So he's carrying a sandbag, and I believe he has a weight vest on as well, and I think the overall weight is over 200 pounds, and he goes over a mile with over 200 pounds.
01:42:39.000I'm going short distances when I'm carrying heavy weight, but what I'm trying to do is- You know, Peter Attia talked about this too, like the importance of the ability to carry weight and walk with it.
01:45:56.000Not just to be able to sit there and push stuff and do squats in place, but to move with things where you're balancing and counterbalancing, moving left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot.
01:46:07.000Yeah. And I think there's a real benefit to that.
01:47:28.000Yeah. Weighted vests for short bursts.
01:47:29.000Yeah. I'll take like a 12-pound weighted Aeon vest and I don't think you could do it with a rock, but I do those 12-pound Aeon vests and I just hang.
01:49:08.000Do you try to shoot both sides with your bow now?
01:49:10.000No, but what I do now is, because my bow is pretty heavy, it's 85 pounds to pull it back, but I'm doing it like when I'm really training hard, like when it's getting close to September, I'm probably shooting 100 times a day.
01:49:22.000So I'm 100 times, I'm pulling back 85 pounds.
01:49:25.000So now what I do, and I learned this from Cam, I take a 10-pound dumbbell and I hold it with my right, because I pull my bow with my right arm, so I put a 10-pound dumbbell.
01:51:02.000Because it's a meathead mentality that my stupid brain won't abandon.
01:51:10.000Even though I know it's like injuring me.
01:51:12.000Yeah. But this is, it actually became a problem and it was hurting me when I was playing pool and I did a bunch of things to deal with it.
01:51:20.000One of the things I did is a thing called New Fit where they put, which helped a lot, where they put electrodes on your muscles and then you go through a series of core routines while you're doing that.
01:51:39.000No, I have a bar, like a straight bar, and I'll put my right leg forward, so I've got the bar back on the right side, and I'm twisting forward.
01:51:49.000So a lot of rotational exercises, and I'm also twisting up, and I'm doing a bunch of different things to twist.
01:51:55.000And another thing I do is I sit on a pad with my legs elevated and I have a kettlebell and I'll Twist it to the side with my legs up in the air.
01:52:05.000So I'm getting all this Rotational exercises into my system now that I didn't used to do before but I really should have been doing from the beginning I always did abs, you know, I always did you know the the hip glute thing where you're you lean all the way back
01:52:54.000You know, honestly, I think our long-term plan is to, we've got a beautiful place in Miami, is to sell that place and get a spot.
01:53:02.000I mean, continue to develop our spot in Colorado because there's something about these authentic log cabins, glacier-fed spring water, will and septic.
01:53:19.000I wish that people could feel what that...
01:53:25.000Well, I think there's also some intangible input that you're getting from society that you're not thinking about, but that affects you, that's absent when you're in the woods and you feel refreshed because of that.
01:56:00.000So the one that I used to go to, they would give you a mask and you would wear the mask and oxygen would get pumped into your mask while you're in the hyperbaric chamber.
01:56:20.000I mean, that terrible accident that happened to that young boy in the Midwest here recently where the hyperbaric chamber actually exploded.
01:56:28.000Yeah, I mean, a young, I think it was five and a half year old little boy was in a hyperbaric chamber and very sadly, the technician left him in there, didn't ground him.
01:56:41.000And he had a blanket in there with him, and he moved the blanket, and the static electricity caught 100% O2.
01:57:04.000I mean, it's important to make the distinction that these 100% oxygen chambers, I mean, these are...
01:57:10.000Bombs. And why would you have a 100% O2 chamber versus what you're talking about?
01:57:15.000So if you look at some of the therapeutic benefits for things like diabetic ulcers, burns, things like that, where, you know, necrosis, tissue necrosis, those make sense in a supervised hospital environment with,
01:57:31.000you know, someone standing right outside the chamber the entire time.
01:57:35.000I've been in one one time in a place called BioAccelerator.
01:57:41.000But the home use chambers where you get a prescription from your doctor and you actually get it, probably what you have, is yours a soft shell?
01:57:53.000So Dr. Jason Saunders, who wrote the book Hyperbaric Medicine.
01:57:57.000With Dr. Dimitri, we'll tell you there's a lot of benefits at low pressures, like 1.3 atmospheres, which you can get in a soft chamber.
01:58:06.000And there are a lot of benefits at higher pressures, like 2 atmospheres.
01:58:10.000So I never go above 2 atmospheres, twice the atmospheric pressure.
01:58:14.000If you think about what's happening at twice the atmospheric pressure, you're taking the oxygen from the air, which is about 21% sea level, what we're breathing right now, and you're doubling that.
01:58:24.000So every 33 feet you go below sea level, you double the atmospheric pressure.
01:58:29.000So when you get to two atmospheres of pressure, you're essentially taking in twice as much oxygen.
01:58:35.000The oxygen concentration hasn't increased, but the size of the gas has gotten smaller.
01:58:42.000So now you're profusing tissues with oxygen that they that normally wouldn't Be as profused with oxygen you can also put on the nasal cannulus and get 92 93 percent o2 But that's also not flammable if you took a nasal cannulus
01:58:57.000from From an oxygen concentrator like one that works for your e-watt or something and you let a lighter in front of it It would that that gas is not going to catch fire
01:59:06.000100% O2 is flammable and very dangerous.
01:59:13.000Just a higher concentration of oxygen for things like Diabetic ulcers, when you have anaerobic bacterial infections, meaning bacterial infections that do not thrive on oxygen,
01:59:30.000you have to be careful with aerobic bacteria because there are bacteria that actually feed on oxygen as well.
01:59:37.000And so you don't want to put somebody who has an aerobic infection into a hyperbaric chamber.
01:59:42.000You want to put somebody who has an anaerobic infection.
01:59:46.000But what's really interesting is some of the research that's coming out of Israel, especially on cognitive function, using 60 days at two atmospheres of pressure and then reducing the pressure over time, the improvement in mitochondrial density,
02:00:05.000the improvement in blood flow, cognitive scoring, reduction of neural inflammation.
02:00:12.000I know You can't say treat or cure, but they use these to modulate autism, all kinds of neuroinflammatory conditions, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, which is really linked to type 3 diabetes,
02:00:28.000which is insulin resistance in the brain.
02:00:29.000But the byproduct of that is this neuroinflammatory cascade.
02:00:42.000You know, these things have pretty profound...
02:00:45.000There's also a study out of Israel that showed the lengthening of telomeres when they did a protocol of 60 sessions, 90-minute sessions over 90 days.
02:01:20.000And if you think about it, I have a saying that the presence of oxygen is the absence of disease.
02:01:25.000And I truly believe that because if you look at the breakdown in mitochondrial respiration, which occurs when you deprive the mitochondria of all kinds of things, but mainly of oxygen, which is our fuel source, which is not our fuel source as humans, our fuel
02:01:40.000source is ATP, but the fuel source for the mitochondria is mainly oxygen.
02:01:47.000And when you feed it oxygen, you have a 16-fold step up in cellular energy.
02:01:51.000When you deprive it of oxygen, you have a 16-fold step down in cellular energy.
02:02:05.000And so hyperbarics, because they allow for compressed oxygen, even if you don't increase the percentage of O2, right?
02:02:17.000You keep it at 21% like we're breathing right now, but you just double the atmospheric pressure.
02:02:27.000If you have a physician, you understand how to operate the chamber and you have safety procedures and you're not using 100% O2 and you're at shallow depths, you can ascend quickly without being in trouble.
02:02:39.000If you're a diver, you understand dive tables.
02:02:41.000You have to ascend at certain rates and pause at certain levels.
02:02:44.000So the one that I built, I was like, man, how do I just compress time?
02:02:50.000I'm like, well, I'm going to work out.
02:02:51.000So what if I was able to put the gym in there?
02:05:06.000And then a buddy of mine, Tyler LeBaron, who's the PhD in the space, told me about this machine I could order from Korea for $7,500, which is the one that I have now.
02:05:18.000And now I've added a nanobubble machine, and that one's...
02:05:24.000Just incredible, I mean, for this transdermal inflammation.
02:05:28.000And I think for people that have, like, you know, chronic injuries, especially like chronic repetitive use injuries, or they have real severe low back pain, or they've got parents or something that are deconditioned, you know, that have a hard time exercising,
02:05:44.000you know, these are great things to...
02:05:48.000To do to lower their inflammatory cascade.
02:05:50.000You know, that and there's something called EWOD, exercise with oxygen therapy, which is kind of based on Otto Warburg's research where, and I do this with my parents because both of my parents are deconditioned.
02:06:00.000My mom has dual knee replacements and my dad's handicapped from a boating accident years ago.
02:06:06.000He has no cognitive impairment, but he has some motor coordination difficulties, so it's hard for him to really exercise.
02:06:12.000And I bought them a sauna and I put them both in a sauna.
02:06:17.000for 20 minutes three times a week and they just breathe I bored a hole and they just breathe through a nasal cannulus the 92 93% O2 which is a version of EWOT the exercise with oxygen therapy or the multi-step oxygen therapy because if you just can raise their heart rate just you know a little bit with the heat then that extra perfusion pressure really drives oxygen into the tissues and I'll tell you it's a noticeable change in them just like when you get out of a cold plunge you had a really good workout Well,
02:06:47.000imagine, you know, you're elderly and you're deconditioned.
02:06:50.000You know, you really don't get your heart rate up.
02:06:51.000You really don't get your good sweat on.
02:06:53.000But you go into a sauna, raise your heart rate, and breathe some of that 92, 93% of it, too.
02:07:01.000They feel amazing getting out of there.
02:07:03.000This is a kind of important thing to talk about because there was a study that was released recently that showed that when people use the cold plunge after workout, you see a decrease in hypertrophy.
02:07:35.000I mean, if you think about what you get from cold plunging, let's not overblow it or underblow it, but you get, well, first of all, if you exercised intensely, let's just say you did a big squat workout and you tore a bunch of quad muscle, what's going to happen?
02:07:51.000Inflammation. What's the body going to do?
02:07:53.000Yeah, the body's going to send more blood flow, more amino acids, more oxygen to those muscles.
02:07:58.000It's going to pull inflammatory factors like kregatinin, you know, the breakdown of muscle, the byproduct of the muscle breakdown.
02:08:33.000So creatinine is a byproduct of muscle breakdown.
02:08:38.000It's perfectly normal to have creatinine in the blood, but when it gets very high, so there's usually three markers they look at for kidney health.
02:08:45.000One is called blood urea nitrogen, bun.
02:08:48.000One is called creatinine, this breakdown of muscle byproduct, and rhabdo is when your muscles...
02:08:55.000Start to break down at a rate that your kidneys can't clear it.
02:08:58.000A lot of people that go too hard when they're not in shape, like they did too many CrossFit classes, they get rhabdo.
02:09:05.000And what's interesting is, you know, a lot of athletes, really conditioned athletes get it too because they have a tendency to be mentally a lot stronger than their bodies.
02:10:06.000These are cold shock proteins that are being actually researched for their impact on insulin sensitivity, improving insulin sensitivity.
02:10:14.000And then you activate a very special type of fat called brown fat, which essentially exchanges a calorie for a measure of heat.
02:10:22.000So it takes a calorie and turns it into heat.
02:10:25.000That's a very good thing, if I'm taking calories and turning them into heat.
02:10:29.000You know, there's a cost to raising your thermostat, and you think if you're in, let's say, 50 degree water, and you get out of 50 degree water and you're standing in a 70 degree room, how's your body go to 98.6?
02:10:41.000Right. How do you actually, not only, how do you exceed the temperature of the room you're in?
02:10:46.000Well, your metabolism is raised largely because of the activation of brown fat, and there's a cost to that.
02:12:16.000There's a lot of people, as they get older, they lose that flexibility.
02:12:20.000And I think that's another thing that I actually, if I'm criticizing myself, I didn't do enough of before I started fucking my lower back up.
02:17:24.000If I go to failure, I don't know, I probably could do like 20 reps with 70 pounds.
02:17:28.000But I don't do 20 reps, I do 10. And then I put it down, and then I wait like several minutes, and then I'll do my left side, and then I wait several minutes more, and then I'll do my right side again.
02:17:38.000So I am completely rested by the time I do my second set.
02:17:43.000So I'm getting those 20 reps in, but I'm doing it in two sets, rather than in one set.
02:18:04.000But you have to have time, and you will feel like a lazy bitch because you're doing your set, but then your heart rate's completely dropped down before you do it again.
02:18:19.000And you feel like a lazy bitch, but I'm doing it over two plus hours.
02:18:23.000Wow. So when it's all over, I'm getting a lot of reps, but I'm not getting the same breakdown of form.
02:18:32.000So the way he says it is, he says that strength is a skill and that you shouldn't be doing skills when you're exhausted.
02:18:39.000Yeah. He doesn't believe in like CrossFit and like all these workouts where you're going to like extreme repetitions where you're breaking down your body.
02:21:08.000Yeah. It's definitely where the point where I can look at my phone and I don't need glasses.
02:21:12.000Because I was using reading glasses all the time when I was looking at my phone.
02:21:15.000And now I don't need them at all anymore.
02:21:17.000Yeah. I would definitely, red light therapy.
02:21:22.000I would add what I gave you the other day, those perfect aminos, which is just essentially the nine essential amino acids.
02:21:30.000You know, we talk about how most people are trying to dose protein so they can get to the amino acid equivalent, or they're taking imperfect proteins or incomplete proteins like collagen, which is a great protein, but it won't build muscle.
02:21:45.000You were talking about the other day that collagen does not build collagen.
02:21:48.000Yeah, I mean, I think that the idea that we can target direct proteins is a fallacy.
02:21:53.000You know, I use the analogy that we don't eat our nails to grow our nails, and we don't eat our hair to grow our hair, but we think that we can eat collagen to grow collagen, and that's actually not true.
02:22:03.000I'm not anti-collagen, I'm just saying if you eat collagen or put collagen in your coffee, it doesn't show up as collagen in your skin.
02:22:10.000My preference would be you take something that is a Has all of the nine essential amino acids.
02:22:16.000I take one called Perfect Aminos, but there's other products out there that are all nine essential amino acids.
02:23:02.000Two types of creatine, which is, you know, monohydrate and HCL.
02:23:05.000Monohydrate is where all of the research is.
02:23:07.000There's a lot more research on creatine monohydrate.
02:23:11.000But creatine also comes in the HCL, the hydrochloride form.
02:23:14.000And I tell people that if they take creatine monohydrate and they have bloating, which some women do, they'll have a little water retention or some bloating, then just take the creatine HCL.
02:24:24.000Magnesium citrate and glycinate are good for intestinal motility.
02:24:27.000So if you're not somebody that has regular bowel movements, magnesium deficiency is highly linked to poor intestinal motility.
02:24:34.000So if you're not somebody that wakes up within 45 minutes of the day and has a bowel movement, You may want to look to magnesium supplementation the night prior and see if that fixes your bowel movement.
02:24:47.000Also, people that ruminate at night, they lay down to go to sleep and their body tired, but their mind awake.
02:24:54.000This is generally a rise in something called catecholamines, these neurotransmitters in the brain that create a waking state.
02:25:01.000They're also the same neurotransmitters that create anxiety and trigger our fight or flight response.
02:25:07.000A lot of times, magnesium Methylfolate and a simple B-complex will quiet those squirrels.
02:25:16.000Very, very simple methylated nutrients to actually break down those catecholamines.
02:25:23.000Because, you know, I talk about this all the time.
02:25:25.000A lot of people that suffer from anxiety are never really told what it is.
02:25:30.000Like, nobody sits them down and tells them, what is anxiety?
02:25:35.000Why... Sometimes I feel like I'm in a heightened state of awareness.
02:25:39.000And then I move from a heightened state of awareness to being anxious.
02:25:43.000And then I move from being anxious to full-blown anxiety.
02:25:46.000Like I actually feel the presence of a fear.
02:25:48.000And then, you know, sometimes that presence of a fear goes into like a rapid heart rate or acute hearing.
02:25:57.000Pupils dilate, and then that goes into a full-blown panic attack.
02:25:59.000And if catecholamines continue to rise, you can even have a full-blown paranoia.
02:26:03.000It's this rise in this category of neurotransmitters called catecholamines.
02:26:08.000So if we identified anxiety as that, and I'm not saying it's always that, but the majority of people have that form where they have metabolism issues because of a gene mutation called CompT, and they are worriers.
02:26:51.000So if you walked out of this door right here and somebody was standing in front of you with a knife right in that hallway, your side's kicking their ass.
02:28:05.000And every once in a while, Sammy, as the dentist of methionine, it is astounding what you can do to human beings by putting those raw materials back.
02:28:14.000Has anybody ever done a study on people with paranoid schizophrenia to find out if they're lacking in all this?
02:28:20.000Paranoid schizophrenias are the next level.
02:28:22.000You know, what's really interesting is I interviewed a Harvard physician on my podcast, and he was treating drug-resistant mental illness with diet, mainly keto diets.
02:28:35.000And he found that the beta-hydroxybutyrate, which is the ketone body, the main ketone body in this, and basic supplementation, fixing their methylation pathways, meaning supplementing for methylation,
02:28:50.000poor conversion of certain chemicals, led to better behavioral changes than they were having in the drug-resistant.
02:29:03.000And it's really fascinating because we don't like to think that nutrient deficiencies could lead to serious mental illness.
02:29:12.000Could you just Google methylation chart?
02:29:17.000Can I just show you a chart of methylation?
02:29:19.000The reason why I want to put it up here is because, and just click on any one of them once you put it up there.
02:29:25.000It's going to look like this complicated myriad.
02:31:39.000Absence of dopamine is the presence of addiction.
02:31:41.000So could I have addictive behavior because I'm low in dopamine and not actually just addicted to nicotine, alcohol, drugs, promiscuity, gambling?
02:31:49.000Absolutely. And why is it that most addictions have a tendency to shift and never really go away?
02:31:55.000if you've ever really been an addict or ever known a true addict why is it that their addiction has a tendency to shift and not go away yeah like some of them find a healthy thing to get addicted to like running yeah there'll be a
02:36:10.000And then what we would do is we would solve with supplementation for the genetic deficiency and watch what happened to the blood biomarkers.
02:36:20.000you would see kidney filtration rates improve.
02:36:22.000You would see waste elimination, like people become more regular.
02:36:26.000You would see C-reactive protein, these non-specific markers of inflammation drop.
02:36:31.000You would certainly see things like homocysteine drop.
02:36:34.000People have that very, very high levels of homocysteine.
02:36:36.000You supplement them with the right nutrients, a B-complex, something called trimethylglycine, and they start to break down homocysteine.
02:36:43.000And then all of a sudden they're reporting that their blood pressure is returning to normal and have
02:36:49.000It is astounding to me how many people are just nutrient deficient and don't accept that basic supplementation or, oh, we can get everything from diet bullshit.
02:36:59.000If you look at a soil lineage study from 1945 and a soil lineage study right now, you would be astounded to see how depleted our soil is.
02:37:08.000Add processed food and all this other stuff to it, you don't stand a chance.
02:37:54.000It's probably one of my other favorite biohacks because a bag of Baja Gold Sea Salt, like a Celtic salt, will have all these trace minerals in it.
