00:10:11I was upset that none of my medical training
00:10:14did anything for me to help me get better.
00:10:16And so I remember consciously making a decision morally and professionally that I had to investigate for the sake of my own understanding and moreover for patients because I couldn't see anything in the Internet.
00:10:29There was nothing in my medical training that explained how my erectile dysfunction, how my prostate shrank, how I went from peeing five times a night in the middle of the night to nothing, and how those precancerous lesions went away.
00:10:43My gastroenterologist couldn't explain it.
00:14:45The second highest amount of cost to a corporation
00:14:48behind salaries and wages is actually healthcare costs
00:14:52for a self-insured company and so it gives me great hope that america uh will eventually embrace
00:15:00this even even though it's not taught yet in medical schools the corporations are going to
00:15:05find out about it and they'll say by golly we're going to pay for visceral fat education and
00:15:11elimination our employees so that productivity goes up and what a great what a great objective
00:15:17I mean, think about improving productivity across America.
00:15:21We in America are to blame for chronic disease because we introduce processed foods and then we spread it all over the globe, leading to disease all over our lifestyles and our diet.
00:15:34We need to redeem ourselves and share these insights about this dangerous disease, this disease process that for the most part, nobody has any idea that they have inside of them.
00:15:47Can you tell us about the coroner who called you?
00:18:52And so society teaches you that you need to be thin and glamorous and to have a six-pack.
00:18:58But the reality, I think I'm the only physician except for physicians that train with me and learn about these fat depots and learn that the relationship, as you eliminate that fat on your body and then you proudly display a six-pack, you are accelerating your exposure to disease.
00:19:15And we see higher amounts of fat around the heart.
00:19:18We see more visceral fat, more fat in the muscles.
00:19:21And the bodybuilders, you know, are also championing this.
00:19:29The latest study came out from sudden cardiac death shows that in just amateur bodybuilders,
00:19:35their rate of mortality from sudden cardiac death is 10 to 15 times that of an average person.
00:19:42These are ostensibly healthy people lifting weights.
00:19:45But if you're a professional bodybuilder, even more aggressive about eliminating that fat, your risk for mortality for sudden cardiac death is 90 to 180 times greater.
00:20:05It's the most dangerous sport and profession in the world is bodybuilding at a professional level in terms of what it does to your health.0.99
00:20:13But the scary thing is a lot of women are getting involved in that, and there's CrossFit.0.61
00:20:19And I see a lot of female clients that come to me and people online have shared how they fell into this body image of having a six-pack like the guys.
00:20:30And then they confided to me that it gave them a dude face.
00:20:34They got a masculine-looking face, and their voices became emasculated.
00:20:42And if your audience just goes on the internet and starts looking for photographs, Googling or using AI to find photographs of women with six-packs abs, very often their faces are cut off or their faces are blocked.
00:20:57But if you see their faces, they're not as attractive.
00:21:00And women have written to me that they've had procedures where they've had tummy tucks and liposuction and they've removed the fat on their abdomen trying to get that sculptured look.
00:21:12And then they express regret because it changed their face.
00:21:15They're not telling women that they lose their pretty faces.
00:21:19And women need to have attractive faces.1.00
00:21:22Women influence culture, and they have a role in society, and their face plays a role.1.00
00:21:29And so does a man, but it's a little different way.
00:21:31But all the studies show that attractive people, people who are deemed attractive by whatever your societal standards are, do better in life.
00:21:41it's just they do they use that to use that term and i know you don't like influence they're better
00:21:46influencers and so by that term i mean their ability to help whoever they're dealing with
00:21:54understand the information that they're trying to convey so for example you are healthy your
00:22:00level of fat was way lower than most people most average people you do have disease inside of you
00:22:06But because you have a lower amount and you have the best amount I have actually seen of any social media podcast hosts that I've ever been with and done this before.
00:22:45And people want, biologically, they don't understand, your audience doesn't really understand how wired their brains are to pay attention to the appearance of people and their performance so that they can live better.
00:23:24Like you can see the muscles come out, but not like obnoxiously, but just more ripped.
00:23:29And the biggest benefit, I think, well, I would argue, on top of just being healthier or you're going to live longer, ideally, is you feel better.
00:23:41You have been making the case, Kennedy has made the case, you feel much more mentally acute.
00:24:54All right. So now let's go through it because the number one thing I'm thinking that the audience wants to know, because it was the number one thing I wanted to know when I heard about this was, what about LDL? You eat red meat all day and we'll talk about it, but like some dairy and cheeses and eggs, like actual eggs with yolks.
00:25:16And, you know, we can all feel our cholesterol going up, which every doctor on Earth, the American Heart Association, do a Google search on this, will all tell you if it's high, it's going to kill you.
00:25:49And so virtually every conversation you have with your doctor is dominated by discussion of cholesterol and LDL and these markers and metrics associated with it.
00:25:59However, keep in mind LDL, cholesterol, these are natural molecules that are made in your body.
00:26:10Your body utilizes cholesterol, needs cholesterol, makes it to create cell membranes, to build hormones.
00:26:18You can't even have a hormone without cholesterol.
00:26:21So just from the premise that we're giving medicine to try to lower something that your body is making should give people a little pause and wonder if that's the very best strategy that we ought to be having our conversations with providers dominated by.
00:26:38But here's my opinion. I really think the discussion about cholesterol and LDL has been hijacked and really engineered socially by the powers to be in the system.
00:26:53And I don't want to get into conspiratorial kind of discussions, but the system that is behind the largest part of economy, which is health care, it dwarfs oil.
00:27:03You know, oil is nothing compared to health care.
00:27:07And by the way, it's increasing at about twice the rate of our GPI.
00:27:13So basically, if you're smart with numbers, we are medically bankrupt as a nation because
00:29:44And I could follow any metric in the world, but I don't follow LDI and cholesterol.
00:29:50I follow these disease processes because nothing in my seven years of research and since I've been doing it now for 13 years have I found that's more valuable for a human being to work on, to improve how they look, how they perform, how they live, than getting rid of this disease.
00:30:09And so it's high time that it gets added back or gets added into the curriculums of medical schools.
00:30:16And by the way, the curriculums of medical schools in America are followed around the world.
00:30:23I mean, we have carried this concealment of this disease process to all the medical schools around the country.
00:30:32You know, the country, it's not like you go to, you know, physicians in India or Bangladesh or Qatar, know anything about this.
00:41:19I do. I mean, I love Secretary Kennedy because he put in our national guidelines. God bless this man.
00:41:27I don't know of a politician that did something more important than Secretary Kennedy.
00:41:33Putting in fermented foods, recommending it to Americans, and also to emphasize the microbiome.
00:41:39These are going to have enormous contributions to our country if Americans adopt this and listen to this great leader.
00:41:49Wait, I completely agree. Love him. But you are going to make the point. Michaela Peterson is doing the lion diet. So she's with ruminant meat and salt. That's not this diet, though, because you allow more than ruminant.
00:42:02No. So ruminant meat, this red meat, does help because it's eliminating processed foods.
00:42:10So you don't eat any processed foods and also vegetables.
00:42:15So what we're finding out, now hold on, everybody's going to get upset at me, particularly plant-based.
00:42:20I take care of people that are vegans, okay, and I get them well.
00:42:24But there are certain nutrients and certain elements inside plants that I would describe
00:46:29So really, it's something that the average consumer needs to find out about, but you want to strengthen your diversity of your microbiome by eating a variety.
00:46:39One of the worst things you can do, it's a very elementary form of approaching the microbiome in fermented foods, is just eat one brand of sauerkraut, one little jar.
00:46:52You want to eat about – in my refrigerator, I have about 20 to 30 different varieties of fermented foods, and I'm always adding to them.
00:47:02And when I travel and I go to different areas like I did up here, I get the local ferments in this area because we are maybe professionals.
00:48:05And our ancestors were so vigilant and so observant, like my coroner friend, Dr. Rosales, who picked up this visceral fat inside people cause disease.
00:48:17our ancestors picked up that the healthiest bison made us healthier and better performing.
00:48:24And when you took that skin off that animal and you put it into another human being to wear his
00:48:30clothing, they got better. But if you hunted like a lame animal, an animal that was like a downer
00:48:37or something, you know, like predators hunt, whatever's easy, the old and the lame, we have
00:48:41cortex we we we have higher levels of thinking we can learn patterns so we saw that the most
00:48:48majestic animals you know in a herd conferred through the skin made humans better or if you
00:48:55hunted the the lower ones it made you worse our ancestors could pick up on that and that's why
00:49:01adornment became popular i think and to this day people would pay pay attention to clothes because
00:49:08biologically we would see this really oppressive animal fur and say, oh my God, she must be a
00:49:18mighty hunter. Look at that skin, you know, animal fur that she wears on her clothing, or1.00
00:49:24she must be very important to somebody who conferred that majestic animal skin to her.
00:49:32And so we have this legacy of adornment, but today it's very different. You see,
00:49:37you can go buy that and you could you could be a you know i hate to use this term a loser and you0.94
00:49:42could go buy you know fancy clothes and you think you're better made by your clothes in the old days
00:49:48it literally made you better and it was a sign of accomplishment but today we've lost that but
00:49:54you so but so you're you started this by saying you go when you travel and you get the ferments
00:49:58from the local towns because the the more wide and variety you can introduce the better um when
00:50:05it comes to the ferments, but I, I like, before we get to the specifics of the diet and I got
00:50:11ahead of us, like, I want to talk about like the bare minimum, because I was reading up on you in
00:50:17addition to our interviews that are behind the scenes talks. And it seems like the number one
00:50:22thing, if you want to do like the mini, mini Sean O'Mara, you would eliminate every processed food
00:50:29from your life. Like I would, that is not negotiable. I would. You're going to do the baby
00:50:33hey, Sean, you are going to do that. And I'm so glad you asked that question. So if you're
00:50:37listening today and you're wondering, how do I get started? We'll take a look at this one
00:50:41particular study we did for the National Science Foundation. So this is the first time in the
00:50:48history of humanity this was done. And it's the only time in the history of humanity this was
00:50:54done and see the red it all goes away in 35 weeks substantially and the dark muscles grew
00:51:03so they lost visceral fat they grew muscle in 35 weeks and are you ready for this the only thing
00:51:11they did was they cut out processed foods wow they didn't add in anything else they didn't even
00:51:16add fermented foods it was one man who was he was a 70 year old man who was a ceo of a company
00:51:24and he did not exercise, ready for this, one minute.
00:56:01You know, sugar, we notice that people eliminate this fat, visceral fat disease in their abdomens around the heart the fastest when they cut out carbohydrates and then just eat fat and protein.
00:56:13So sugars, carbohydrates attract species of microbes that preferentially put down fat, fatty disease around your heart in your abdomen rather than your subcutaneous skin where you should be storing that.
00:56:28And I said to you, well, I really like my ice cream.
00:57:45So it's the sight, the smell, and the taste.1.00
00:57:48So these microbes are wired into our central nervous system and you would fight like Katie's.
00:57:54I always tell people, if I came across that table, put my hands around your neck and started choking, you'd become a wild woman and fight like crazy for your life.
00:58:03The same thing are these microbes inside of you.
00:58:06When they see something that is threatening them, like their host is about to eat fermented foods, they make them hate them.
00:58:12So I tell my clients that have an aversion where they feel, you know, this repulsion to fermented foods, to take a little butter knife, dip it in a little bit of kimchi juice, a little of the juice around the fermented vegetables, put it in a glass of non-chlorinated water, just one little drop.
01:03:44And, you know, particularly politicians who have a lot of stress, they build up cortisol, which feeds visceral fat inside of them, and it shrinks the fat on the outside.
01:03:56So they tend to have lower amounts of the beneficial superficial subcutaneous fat, and they have higher amounts of the fatty disease around their heart and in their abdomen and their muscles.
01:04:07And this deteriorates their appearance and their ability to influence.
01:04:11So as you get older, you actually should get more attractive.
01:04:15Like looking at the examples of other politicians, many of them have gone on this diet and improved their appearance.
01:04:24As they've gotten rid of visceral fat, their faces improve.
01:04:28And so because their faces improve, you actually – like the example that happened to Joe Biden and President Trump I like to give.
01:04:38Now, we don't have the benefit of MRIs to see what happened.
01:04:41But this is the election at 2020, and this is 2024.
01:07:41I've worked with thousands of people now, and they've reported to me.
01:07:45I used to never ask them to stop drinking alcohol, and sometimes I would.
01:07:50But now it just happens as they start eating fermented foods and they improve their diet and they do the other things that we have them doing to eliminate disease.
01:08:01Their health improves so much, their microbiome improves so much, they lose all attraction for alcohol.
01:08:07The healthy human being doesn't drink alcohol, doesn't have an attraction for it.
01:08:13And so alcohol is one of those things and other vices.
01:08:16I sometimes I feel like I'm almost a Catholic priest because these clients come back to me, tell me, I didn't tell you this before, father, but I was addicted to gambling.
01:13:38And the healthier the chickens, the healthier the eggs.
01:13:41So ideally, you should buy eggs if you can from a farmer that has them out pastured where they're out eating bugs and less, not grains, poultry in the wild, fowl, game fowl.
01:14:35When you – fermentation is the only processing that I can think of as a physician and a scientist and a researcher that actually improves the form of food.
01:14:47And so when you ferment dairy, you're actually improving.
01:14:51You're increasing the nutrient value and you're adding to the microbial value, these living microbes.
01:14:56And the ones that are more old world and more stinkier and smellier like blue cheeses and roqueforts and gargonzolas have higher levels of colony forming units and metabolites.
01:15:09These little tiny signals, these little tiny peptides that are now the darling of big pharma and you see it just blowing up all over the internet, these peptides.
01:19:37So I tell my clients, the enemy tastes sweet.
01:19:42Now, you might think you're giving up a lot by giving up sweet things.
01:19:46I don't know a human being in the world that enjoys steak and ferments better than Sean O'Meara.
01:19:52It is like better than any trip to Walt Disney World that I've ever had.
01:19:56And it's every single day that I eat is the most unbelievable experience I could have during the day because that food tastes so extraordinarily good.
01:20:07My microbiome is all in on the very best strategies for optimizing.
01:20:12And eventually it happens to my clients over a period of time.
01:20:15So as you do this, you'll get more and more excited about eating.
01:20:20you will laugh and be appalled. Did you ever ate ice cream at some point?
01:20:25I'm looking forward to that. Now, we should talk about what you just said,
01:20:29every day that I'm eating, because you are not eating every day. Fasting is a part of this diet.
01:20:37I'm sorry to break it to you at home, because I think fasting is so hard. I was telling you,
01:20:43I used to do the 16-8 fast, and even the 16 for me, I thought as a woman, was particularly hard.
01:20:49those last two hours and then I did hear some conventional wisdom that women shouldn't go 16
01:20:54you were like not only should you go 16 you you should go three maybe even four days and then I0.71
01:21:02said to Sean women women should go four days and he said when the men couldn't find the bison what
01:21:07do you think the women were doing yeah no one was eating the males or the females yeah so it's
01:21:13absolutely talk about the fast and by the way I forgot to ask you something important is that
01:21:17every week you don't fast four days a week every week do you i i fast typically um i used to fast
01:21:23three or four days every single week so literally like half the month i was fasting i still kind of
01:21:29do that now but i do even longer fast like five days so look at this lady's uh face uh who is
01:21:37kind enough to allow us to to share her photograph how much she improved her face so um this is over
01:21:43a six-month period of time, this lady adopted meat and microbes, the living diet, and also
01:21:50started fasting. So when you fast, you eliminate structural disease in your body and the influence1.00
01:21:56in your face. So you get this gorgeous appearance to your face. A lot of women are afraid to come
01:22:02to me. They think that only work with these, you know, studly males, tough guys. But women get1.00
01:22:07these beautiful results where they have fantastic results. So biology knows no difference between1.00
01:22:14men and women in terms of lifestyle. The healthier the food you eat, the healthier your lifestyle
01:22:19is available for men and women. Let's just say it's three days because four days
01:22:24sounds insane to me. Maybe it won't six months away. It took years for me to get up to that.
01:22:29I eased into it. What should I do right now as a baby, Sean, disciple?
01:22:35So I tell people to ease into fasting because the scariest thing for me right now is Megyn Kelly goes on a three-day fast, hates it, feels super weak, and they said, I tried fasting, and it didn't work.0.81
01:23:01You've got decades of quality living ahead of you, so ease into it.
01:23:05Now, a little tip, our ancestors, when they didn't get a bison, would go drink from creeks, rivers, lakes, glaciers, and they knew the gray-haired women and the gray-haired men, the alphas, the leadership of a clan, knew which particular stream to drink that would reduce their hunger.
01:23:25And so these microbes have a capacity literally of increasing GLP-1.
01:23:32And so GLP-1 is this natural endogenous peptide that causes satiety.
01:23:39So today we can't drink rivers and lakes, but here's what we're going to find out.
01:23:44I am now experimenting and it's going to come out with certain strains of bacteria, probiotics
01:23:54Postbiotics are what probiotic microbiota, these species of microbes, produce.
01:24:00So they're pieces basically of the living microbes.
01:24:05They signal you that you're no longer hungry.
01:24:08And so even though you didn't get a bison that day in the hunt, you're not hungry and you still have energy.
01:24:15So what does that mean for you today, 2026?
01:24:18You'll probably be getting, I've already given some to you,
01:24:21certain species of postbiotics that you can take, probiotics rather, and postbiotics,
01:24:27and they will reduce your hunger and allow you to fast without any hunger pains,
01:24:32without food noise, without cravings for food.
01:24:36So my clients, the longest I've seen a client fast,
01:24:3910 days with these particular strains of microbiota.
01:24:43And I can't say what they are because we want them to be manufactured and available for all Americans to take.
01:24:49So we're in the process of trying to do that, work through that.
01:24:52But it will be in the future that you'll be taking these strains of microbiota.
01:24:56They will dust all of the medications that are out there because they're going to treat the underlying infection the Big Puff Pharma doesn't treat.
01:25:05So for the listening audience, though, like what can they do before they get the special probiotics?
01:25:10Like, can they, what, shoot, what's a realistic goal?
01:25:13One day a week to go just go 24 hours without eating?
01:25:17Try going, you know, a lot of people should be able to do at least 18 to 24 hours, see
01:32:03Yeah. You know, and I also tell people, look, you can't always find grass fed when you go to restaurants. I eat at McDonald's. I do. It's not great quality meat, but it's way better than pasta. I just don't eat the buns and the ketchups and all the other things that are added to it. And I bring ferments with me. I remember going on a vacation with my wife. I'm a retired army guy. I'm not a wealthy guy.
01:32:28So, you know, we're out eating at McDonald's, my wife, you know, I'm 62 years old then, you know, and we're eating at McDonald's and we're getting rid of the buns and I'm dumping the ferments on the McDonald's patties.
01:32:42And that was our date night while we're out on this whole vacation.
01:32:46Or you could potentially have like a white fish or some sort of cut of fish.
01:32:50And ideally, I like wild caught because they tend, you know, the farmed variety of seafood, they feed a lot of grains just like they do with cattle.
01:33:02So they're dumping stuff into these farm ponds that they have all this fish in.
01:33:07And sometimes even when they're out in the ocean, they pretend like, you know, that's a healthier version.
01:33:12They might get a little bit more healthier water.
01:33:14but then they're still feeding grains and carbs and all this unnatural diet to these0.98
01:33:20farmed fish. And sometimes there are better operations, but I just think you need to be
01:33:25a lot more selective about the food you eat whenever you can, especially at home.
01:33:29You can go shop. You can find the very best foods, shopping online and your local grocery
01:33:35supplier, bring that home. And then on occasion, if you have to go out, eat a little grass-fed
01:33:41beef or grain-fed beef, bring some ferments with you. And when you go to your neighbor's house
01:33:47or your family members, don't dive down to their level. Be the hero. Be the champion
01:33:53in your family's life and in your neighbor's house. And you show them that you eat differently.
01:34:00You eat better. And it's real for you. Don't compromise your health. So it's an opportunity
01:36:28Most people, when they return to eating, they can have a hyperarysmotic effect where they put food in until their GI tract gets acclimated to it.
01:37:49omelets with, you know, aged cheddar cheese and some blue cheese and some ferments. Oh my gosh,
01:37:56to wake up and have that is just so sustaining and beneficial. And so every meal is a little
01:38:03bit different because there's so many varieties of fermented foods that you eat, yogurts and
01:38:08kefirs and different forms of fermented vegetables and fermented fruit. So I do eat fruit, but only
01:38:17if it's fermented. I have my clients back off of fruit because of the fructose and the fruit sugars
01:38:24that are in there. We noticed when we had people eat fermented fruit and cut out regular fruit
01:38:30that the fat around the heart went away a lot faster. And vegans that don't eat any meat,
01:38:36they do lose fat around their heart and they lose visceral fat if they add in fermented vegetables.
01:38:42So if they're eating a predominantly plant-based diet, sorry, carnivores, the plant-based people are losing visceral fat when they stay vegan if they add in fermented foods.
01:39:17You know, they don't have to, but, you know, they seem to prefer to have some fresh vegetables that aren't fermented.
01:39:26And so they eat broccoli and other things that haven't been fermented.
01:39:30On that front, and I want to ask you lunch too, but on that front, one of the first things you said to me is there's no cheating on this diet.
01:39:36so like if you were weak and you wanted to have a salad you shouldn't but like why what is that
01:39:46going to throw the whole thing off so the the cheating with the salad is not going to be bad
01:39:51as cheating with raisins and then you add in honey and uh and then you add in a sweet a salad dressing
01:40:00with sugar in it, that's more of a cheating that's problematic. If you just ate lettuce or
01:40:07some arugula, it's really as a very, very small amount of these anti-nutrients and microtoxins,
01:40:16not realistically a huge threat. It's oftentimes when it comes to salads, the accoutrements and
01:40:23the condiments and other things are coming along. We've had some people say on the show that
01:40:27sourdough bread is not bad for you because it's got a lower glycemic index it is very bad for you
01:40:34it's just not as bad that's what this physician research when people come to me and they take
01:40:40sourdough bread they always have visceral fat and heart fat and when i show that to them and they
01:40:47get very upset they eliminate it and then that heart fat and visceral fat goes away it honest
01:40:54to god correlates because it's still carbohydrates it's still processed it's dead bread it may have
01:41:01had some living microbes in it at some point but when you bake it it's dead and so those beneficial
01:41:07microbes are no longer present in there again if you are doing the starter sean you are eliminating
01:41:12processed foods which will include bread pasta obviously sugars ice cream etc yes um you the
01:41:22bare bones version of this could be meats and what like if you had to give them not the full
01:41:29sean meat and then you know probably eating like vegetables that aren't fermented that are not like
01:41:35maybe add fermented too and and then yes but if you're going to be eating any vegetables that
01:41:41aren't fermented make sure you're comasticating including in your meal fermented vegetables
01:41:48But anything processed really, you should, anybody listening to your show, should be able to eliminate processed foods relatively easily and then up your amount of seafood and meat and vegetables if you really want to add in vegetables and you want to take a slow kind of junior approach, a Dr. Sean light approach to this diet.
01:42:12Just for people who think I can't do it. I can't, you know, I know a lot of people are thinking it's too extreme. I can't do it. But maybe you could try the intro version. And then if you do okay on that, the real version might not seem too undoable.
01:42:27Now, wait, there's a lot more to discuss, including drinking.
01:48:07I have yet to find a single RO that completely eliminates chlorine.
01:48:11And chlorine is disruptive on your microbiome because we add it to water to keep bacteria from growing in there to kill bacteria.
01:48:18But the downside to it is it doesn't just finish its job when it's in the pipes coming from some municipal treatment center.
01:48:26It gets delivered into a microbiome where it disrupts oftentimes the elegant, beautiful, beneficial microbes that help fight disease and keep us healthy and living better.
01:48:37So you're drinking 100% of your water out of a bottle you got from Europe?
02:00:37And two hours later, I'm peeing green from that grass-fed, grass-finished liver.
02:00:42When we went to Scandinavia, we went to a farmer's house for a lunch, the whole family. And I don't eat fish. I just don't like it. I never have. And it was all fish. We forgot to ask what the menu would be. And I was like right on the water in Norway. And it was all fish, which it was like, okay, fine. I was making my way through it with a polite bite here or there.
02:01:04and then she brought out this fish that was like in the shape of a bell i don't know it had been
02:01:09like formed and it was fried and uh one of my kids asked how how did you make this and the woman the
02:01:16mom this norwegian woman you know stout sturdy lady was like oh we put the whole fish in the
02:01:22blender and we just blend it up and then we use the cookie cutter thing to make the shape i was
02:01:27like, is anyone else sweating? I think I need to step outside. Just the thought of a freaking
02:01:35blended fish. I'm not sure I'm going to make this. Anyway, blended livers, not quite that bad,
02:01:45but it's up there. You should have shared that with Chevy Chase for a new vacation movie.
02:01:49Yes, it was that level. All right, let me go through a couple of other things. I know I'm
02:01:54jumping all over the place now, but I only have another 40 minutes with you and I want to make
02:01:57account. Steve Krakauer, our executive producer, wanted to know, is there any way other than the
02:02:04MRI to figure out what your visceral fat is? Yeah, great question. So the other way to visualize
02:02:10visceral fat, and by the way, the only ways to directly visualize it is by either an MRI or CT
02:02:17scan. So a lot of people will report that their levels of visceral fat are X amount because they
02:10:45You don't have residual stool on your anus.0.95
02:10:48And animals in the wild don't need toilet paper because they have a healthy, functioning anus.0.99
02:10:54And your anus is a marker of how healthy you are.
02:10:59And when you toilet trained your kids, you taught them to wipe, and you said,0.98
02:11:03Mommy says to wipe, Daddy says to wipe, and there was nothing on that toilet paper
02:11:07because their little anuses and their gas intestinal tracts were so healthy.
02:11:10And so what happens is you have a rectum, it fills with stool, the stretch receptors get triggered, it tells the host, the organism to start moving towards the bathroom, you're going to have a bowel movement, your anus is on the outside, it's actually folded in.
02:11:25And as you have a bowel movement, it opens up and comes, unfolds, and there's a little tiny hole that creates that little tip on the initial part of that stool, little tiny tip.
02:11:36And then it opens up to a preformed kind of a distance, kind of it's like a supercomputer.
02:13:27And then the balance would get bigger and more prominent.
02:13:29So there are these 60-year-old males no longer need Viagra or Cialis.
02:13:34They get a fantastic erection, and this little bounce eventually turns into this big bounce.
02:13:39And just imagine 50,000 years ago before there was the sacrament of matrimony and marriage and things, there would be males walking around.0.93
02:19:58Or a tough question, when you're a litigator, you're handing somebody on a stand, you're cross-examining, you can react very quickly because to the extent you can react physically, you can react intellectually.
02:20:11So physiology and cognitive capabilities go together.
02:20:15So 15 seconds, you go out there, assuming you've built it up to this point, you go out there, 15 seconds, you start off slow, and then you go full bore.
02:21:22And I have one sprint or you do the five minute thing.
02:21:25every 30 seconds six every hour a 30 second sprint wow okay bless excuse me and i mix it up
02:21:34and then executives when they open up a report and the kpi and the company is doing bad drop
02:21:41and do push-ups or go out and do sprints 15 seconds yep you just jacked up your cortisol
02:21:46and what's killing americans are is unrecovered stress you just tolerate it but i i have told
02:21:54people that go into the white house situation room do push-ups in this situation room do push-ups
02:22:01in your boardroom do push it when life happens answer the stress that you get with some brief
02:22:10intense form of exercise and that's how you get rid of stress that is otherwise causing disease
02:22:15and ultimately can lead to your early demise deteriorate your face your health your performance
02:22:21So you look at poor Senator Mitchell today, stress from being McConnell, sorry, McConnell, the the majority leader that he had for that period of time, you accumulate all this stress and it causes cognitive decline.
02:22:35It happened to Joe Biden. So politicians, business executives, chairmen of the board, singers, performers, journalists running shows, you meet you get stressed.
02:22:46You've got to meet that stress through recovery, doing some kind of form of intense exercise.
02:24:33But that's why you get so short of breath in a sprint.
02:24:37and so you want to be sprinting if you could only do one thing you want to be able to do sprinting
02:24:43but do other things push-ups push-ups okay and lifting weights for how long like if you're doing
02:24:48push-ups just to the point of exhaustion exhaustion you can't do any more until i'm praying to god
02:24:53ask me to do one more dear god help me help me i go right to sheer exhaustion because that's how
02:24:58you fought when you were fighting for your life you don't say oh i think i'm gonna stop and die
02:25:04No, if you exercise in that manner with that level of intensity, you produce a higher level of myokine, which tells your body to do things, burn deadly fat and produce beneficial muscle.
02:32:26oftentimes they're getting a cortisol spike.
02:32:29And so to eliminate that, if you get some, particularly fasting can make you look crazed, crave a little more carbohydrates, want to wake up.
02:32:38But if you take some probiotics or drink some kimchi brine before you go to bed, you'll sleep through that and you won't do that.
02:32:47If you still wake up, you could have a little teaspoon of that kimchi brine, you know, it's non-caloric and a little non-chlorinated water and it'll ease you right back into sleep.
