00:00:00.000 so breath let's talk about breath so you know somebody who oh you want to go back to the clit 0.68
00:00:07.520 i guess you guys can show it but no i don't think we can really is it get bad the other things show
00:00:13.400 up it just might be a little graphic for youtube okay all right we'll skip it we'll skip it uh so
00:00:20.160 for those guys i want to get graphic manek paul he'll tell you more about it if this is something
00:00:24.780 you want to learn about breath let's talk about bad breath okay so of course what you put in your
00:00:30.500 mouth and what you eat and what you put in your stomach so for some people maybe could it be that
00:00:36.980 you never had breath issues and all of a sudden you start having breath issues but you didn't
00:00:40.860 change anything about your diet so one what causes somebody to have bad breath because in business
00:00:45.820 and sales like over the years i've coached a lot of guys that are selling and i'll say
00:00:49.420 you know why is my closing ratio so low well quite honestly you smell you know if you're going to a
00:00:56.380 family's house and you're talking to them you're getting close to them it smells so one is they
00:01:00.520 use products to help with their breath but then the other thing is what can i do that could be
00:01:05.520 internal that maybe i'm starting to have bad breath this is microbiome this is microbiome so
00:01:10.340 we talked about vaginal microbiome we talked about gastrointestinal microbiome the microbiome
00:01:16.320 and your esophagus and your actual mouth,
00:01:19.220 which are connected directly to your stomach,
00:01:22.160 your duodenum, right, your small intestine.
00:01:24.380 This is what creates bad breath.
00:01:26.640 This is what creates halitosis is the technical term.
00:01:29.280 So how do we fix those things?
00:01:31.220 You fix those things.
00:01:32.200 I sound like a broken record, Pat,
00:01:33.280 but it's important because we keep coming back to this idea.
00:01:35.220 You fix these things with quality of diet.
00:01:37.840 So you can change the halitosis in your mouth,
00:01:41.280 in your gut, which is dysbiosis,
00:01:43.200 by eating better quality foods.
00:01:45.740 That is the answer.
00:01:46.580 In the short term, yes, use breath mints.
00:01:49.100 Mouthwash is interesting, right?
00:01:50.260 Because there's studies showing that if you use mouthwash before you go to the gym,
00:01:53.740 this can affect your ability to gain muscle because the bacteria in our mouth produce nitric oxide.
00:01:59.340 Nitric oxide is systemic and is one of the vasodilatory gases, compounds in the human body.
00:02:05.340 So I can't say this for sure, but I suspect there might even be evidence that if you use too much mouthwash, 0.57
00:02:10.840 if you destroy the microbiome of your...
00:02:13.440 It's actually bad for you.
00:02:14.200 I've seen that too much mouthwash is bad for you.
00:02:16.360 It's bad for you.
00:02:17.040 It can affect your vascularity, your ability to dilate.
00:02:19.200 It might even affect erectile strength.
00:02:20.800 Help me understand that.
00:02:21.980 Because the bacteria in our mouth produce nitric oxide naturally.
00:02:25.200 So you need some of that bacteria in your mouth.
00:02:26.620 You need bacteria.
00:02:27.600 The bacteria in your mouth are essential.
00:02:29.280 They're essential.
00:02:30.080 Do you use mouthwash?
00:02:31.100 I do not use mouthwash.
00:02:32.260 I have not used mouthwash.
00:02:33.980 I remember when I was in, before I went to medical school, I went to PA school.
00:02:37.400 And I remember I was in PA school at George Washington University.
00:02:40.280 And I was going to see a girl. 0.62
00:02:41.880 and I just did the Listerine and just crushed it and walked out the door. 0.94
00:02:45.820 My dad goes, whoa, and I was like, it's fine, it's fine.
00:02:48.220 That's the last time I remember using mouthwash, you know.
00:02:50.540 So what do you not use?
00:02:52.460 So if I was to go, you know, you go to someone's,
00:02:54.960 I think I saw an article the other day.
00:02:57.120 If you go to a man's bathroom, there's six to eight products.
00:03:00.840 But if you go to a woman's side of the bathroom, there's 332 products, 0.98
00:03:04.480 some ridiculous amount of products versus what we have as men. 1.00
00:03:07.360 If somebody goes into your bathroom, what products do you have?
00:03:09.660 I have a toothbrush that is made from plant fibers, so there's no plastics.
00:03:16.660 Toothbrush made from plant fibers.
00:03:18.320 So it's an electric toothbrush.
00:03:19.520 I type in that, Rob.
00:03:20.540 The bristles are made of castor oil derivatives.
00:03:23.360 Something like that?
00:03:24.180 I think that it's called Surrey, I think, is the brand of the toothbrush.
00:03:27.880 I have no affiliation.
00:03:28.740 It's an electric toothbrush, and the bristles are made of plant fibers.
00:03:32.500 Because I don't want plastic toothbrush bristles, right?
00:03:35.300 And you think about, just like microplastics,
00:03:37.080 When you brush your teeth with a plastic bristle toothbrush, you're releasing micro nanoplastics into your body.
00:03:43.340 So there's a toothbrush.
00:03:45.120 Pat, I don't use toothpaste.
00:03:47.000 Zero.
00:03:47.620 I don't use toothpaste.
00:03:48.540 And by the way, just to say, I don't smell your breath.
00:03:50.620 Thank you.
00:03:52.220 So then you use deodorant?
00:03:54.300 I will use deodorant, but I will use a natural deodorant, or I will use rubbing alcohol.
00:04:00.320 If you look at deodorants, you have to be very careful.
00:04:02.420 Rubbing alcohol instead of deodorant?
00:04:03.780 You can.
00:04:04.380 It's the simplest form of...
00:04:06.500 Now, why do you not use deodorant?
00:04:07.480 Because Liver King also wasn't using deodorant.
00:04:09.380 Well, yeah.
00:04:10.260 When he walked in, by the way, I'm not going to lie to you, three people passed out.
00:04:13.960 It was, do you remember that day, Rob?
00:04:15.580 Yeah.
00:04:16.120 And we were stuck in a vault because we used to do our podcast in a bank vault.
00:04:20.560 It was a bad situation.
00:04:21.720 It was a bad situation.
00:04:22.280 So look, just like your mouth, the breath, your human smell is also determined by the quality of the food you eat.
00:04:29.740 Your microbiome determines all or has a large influence on all these things.
00:04:33.780 So when I use deodorant, I will use a natural deodorant.
00:04:36.360 I don't want phthalates.
00:04:37.360 I don't want parabens.
00:04:38.420 Again, endocrine disruptors going directly into my body. 0.70
00:04:41.000 Your armpits are very porous.
00:04:44.040 They're very absorbable.
00:04:44.840 You can take a lot of things.
00:04:46.060 I don't want aluminum.
00:04:47.160 So deodorant's fine.
00:04:48.240 Just look for a natural deodorant.
00:04:50.280 Give an idea.
00:04:50.800 Like what?
00:04:51.540 What's a good one?
00:04:52.520 I've been using the same thing for 30 years, and I love it.
00:04:54.660 I use Polo Sport, the red one, whatever the Polo Sport is.
00:05:00.640 I'm not sure that's natural.
00:05:01.620 I tried a bunch of – no, it's not natural.
00:05:02.780 Not natural.
00:05:03.600 No, but what do you suggest – like, that's what I'll use.
00:05:05.680 You know what is good is Primally Pure.
00:05:08.560 That's what I use.
00:05:09.240 That exact product you have there is what I use.
00:05:11.000 So we can look at the ingredients in that,
00:05:13.200 and I'm sure there's going to be some scents, some phthalates.
00:05:16.560 At least it's aluminum-free.
00:05:17.920 I used to use this 30 years ago.
00:05:19.940 Primally Pure.
00:05:20.660 No affiliation, but it's a great company for deodorants.
00:05:24.200 What is it called?
00:05:24.860 Primally Pure.
00:05:26.040 Primally Pure Wrap.
00:05:27.260 Yeah.
00:05:27.900 So you see there was fragrance on your deodorant.
00:05:29.980 This is essentially phthalates,
00:05:31.880 so these are endocrine-disrupting chemicals.
00:05:34.260 Yeah, so this Primarily Pure is a good deodorant company.
00:05:37.920 No affiliation, but these are good people.
00:05:39.460 I know them.
00:05:40.240 Okay, what else?
00:05:41.100 So what else is in the bathroom?
00:05:43.320 Shampoos, so you don't have toothpaste.
00:05:45.700 You have that toothbrush.
00:05:46.900 I don't have toothpaste.
00:05:48.440 I think toothpaste is kind of a scam.
00:05:50.400 If you want to use toothpaste, use a natural toothpaste.
00:05:52.480 I have concerns about fluoride in toothpaste.
00:05:54.340 It's very high.
00:05:55.400 And when we look across population data, it's a pretty strong signal that very high levels of fluoride exposure are associated with lower IQs.
00:06:02.780 So I'm not going to actively ingest fluoride.
00:06:05.120 I don't need fluoride in toothpaste.
00:06:06.340 There are natural toothpastes out there.
00:06:08.260 But something as simple as a combination of coconut oil and baking soda can be a great toothpaste.
00:06:14.240 When I use toothpaste, that's what I use, coconut oil, baking soda.
00:06:16.700 Be a little careful.
00:06:17.780 You don't want to brush too hard with the baking soda.
00:06:19.400 You can strip the enamel, but most of the time it's fine.
00:06:22.160 So no deodorant.
00:06:23.100 In the shower, I don't use shampoo.
00:06:25.880 I use soap sometimes, and it's a tallow-based soap.
00:06:29.160 I don't even know the brand.
00:06:30.200 There's like, you know, multiple—
00:06:30.820 Soap in your hair.
00:06:31.800 No, no, I use soap on my body, you know?
00:06:33.460 So you don't wash your hair right now?
00:06:34.260 I don't wash my hair with shampoo.
00:06:35.300 Just rinse it.
00:06:36.060 Just rinse it, yep.
00:06:37.140 I mean, I'm in the ocean all the time.
00:06:38.280 When's the last time you used shampoo?
00:06:40.160 It's been a long time, Pat.
00:06:41.600 And years?
00:06:42.100 20.
00:06:42.720 Stop it.
00:06:43.140 20 years.
00:06:44.580 Yeah, 20 years.
00:06:45.600 But you look at most shampoos and you have, you know, scents and, again, all the same sort of problems. 0.88
00:06:51.860 And there are studies done on women, but I'm sure we'd see the same thing in men.
00:06:55.640 And when you simplify your self-care regimen, the amount of these endocrine or septic chemicals decrease meaningfully in your body, assayed through urine.
00:07:05.320 I don't put lotions on my skin, Pat.
00:07:07.840 I don't use, I don't know what else people use.
00:07:09.840 Shaving cream. Do you use shaving cream?
00:07:10.960 I don't use shaving cream.
00:07:11.980 How do you shave?
00:07:12.480 I use aloe vera gel on my face.
00:07:15.060 You use aloe vera and then razor, just any kind of razor?
00:07:17.620 Any kind of razor.
00:07:18.940 Yep.
00:07:19.400 So I, and you can see I like to keep the scruff.
00:07:22.720 But yeah, I will use aloe vera on my skin.
00:07:24.800 I don't use traditional sunscreens.
00:07:27.760 When I go in the ocean, I use a tallow-based sunscreen.
00:07:30.280 I make it myself.
00:07:31.940 You know, it's tallow, it's coconut oil, it's non-nano zinc,
00:07:34.860 and it's a little bit of beeswax.
00:07:36.100 I just put it on my face for Costa Rican surfing in the morning.
00:07:40.120 How often do you surf in Costa Rica?
00:07:41.440 Every morning.
00:07:42.060 Every morning?
00:07:42.660 Every morning, man.
00:07:43.880 What time?
00:07:45.080 Six.
00:07:46.020 Every morning?
00:07:46.960 Yeah.
00:07:47.840 And what are you going to do if you come down here?
00:07:49.980 I've got a foil board.
00:07:51.960 So a foil board is like a board with a mast and a foil underneath,
00:07:57.280 and it kind of goes on the water.
00:07:58.480 It, like, flies on the water.
00:08:00.020 I might do some paddle boarding.
00:08:01.340 That's a foil board.
00:08:02.240 Oh, that's cool.
00:08:02.860 I've seen those.
00:08:03.600 Yeah.
00:08:04.100 I've got a foil board for here.
00:08:05.620 You don't need waves for that.
00:08:06.860 You don't need waves for that.
00:08:08.080 There's an electric foil board that I have,
00:08:10.040 or you can find little swells you can foil board.
00:08:13.620 Yeah, I'll do paddle boarding down here.
00:08:15.320 Have you ever surfed in Costa Rica where you encountered sharks or anything?
00:08:19.180 I've never seen a shark in Costa Rica.
00:08:21.280 I saw a shark in Australia.
00:08:22.540 There are sharks out there.
00:08:24.000 I've seen small sharks when I was snorkeling on an island called Caño Island,
00:08:29.920 which is 32 miles off the coast of Costa Rica where I live.
00:08:32.680 Small sharks, reef sharks.
00:08:33.840 I've never seen a crazy shark.
00:08:35.600 I've gotten stung by a stingray on my foot, and that hurt like crazy.
00:08:39.480 So a stingray got me on my ankle.
00:08:41.320 And I've been stung by jellyfish that were quite painful.
00:08:43.820 Not all of them are bad, but otherwise nothing.
00:08:45.920 And Costa Rica is amazing.
00:08:46.860 It's pretty safe for surfing.
00:08:48.780 But so you think about it.
00:08:49.960 There's no shampoo in my shower.
00:08:51.280 Maybe there's a bar of tallow soap.
00:08:52.980 We've done videos on this.
00:08:54.300 My bathroom is so boring.
00:08:56.080 There's nothing on the counter, you know?
00:08:58.100 There's nothing on the counter.
00:08:59.540 And so it's just, it's not that any of these things
00:09:01.100 are intrinsically bad.
00:09:02.020 It's just that I don't feel like I need them.
00:09:03.360 And if you want to use these home care products,
00:09:05.600 read the ingredients, be very careful
00:09:07.560 because they do contain a lot
00:09:08.700 of endocrine disrupting compounds.
00:09:09.860 Hey guys, I am Paul Saladino.
00:09:11.540 You can find me on Manecht.
