00:00:00.000
So what are some things that people would want to see happen next that could be the next big phenomenon?
00:00:05.920
I'm sure you've seen the whole, you know, insecurity with heights, right?
00:00:15.360
Surgery involves deliberately breaking the bone, then slowly lengthening it to use an internal rod.
00:00:25.300
The lengthening phase takes about three to four months.
00:00:28.600
And approximately six months later, you could grow six inches in height.
00:00:32.800
They're doing it here for $125,000 to $135,000.
00:00:36.800
But if you want to go do it in Europe or different places, you can do it for $25,000 to $30,000.
00:00:42.580
And some people that take it may never be able to run again.
00:00:52.940
this gets into looks maxim but height is another one of those things right yeah yeah you know hey
00:00:57.340
i'll make more money if i'm above six feet tall if i'm five six i add six inches i'm five eleven
00:01:03.480
six feet tall do you see this thing getting bigger or you think this is a little bit more
00:01:07.540
limited than the other this is pretty tough because i think people are not going to do this
00:01:10.980
what was the movie that just came out um i think it was called i'll think of it over the course
00:01:17.460
there was a character in this movie it was pedro pascal was in this movie and his character in the
00:01:22.140
movie had the surgery um i'll think of the movie um anyway um it's uh yeah it's it's scary because
00:01:32.420
the materialists so it's a romantic movie i watched it on a plane it's pedro pascal dakota
00:01:37.660
johnson and you know there there's like this love triangle between uh dakota johnson chris evans and
00:01:43.760
pedro pascal and pedro pascal one is them one of them is a rich one the other one's a waiter is
00:01:49.200
And so Pedro Pascal comes from a very successful family.
00:01:53.180
He does private equity or something, and he's had the surgery.
00:02:05.100
You think about this in the UFC, Conor McGregor, Anderson Silva,
00:02:08.840
the guys who break their tibia when they kick someone in the leg,
00:02:15.100
and they're sort of hampered for the rest of their life.
00:02:17.240
they can't kick things. I mean, not everybody wants to kick things, but, um, you know, if you
00:02:21.880
want to do intense sports, like what, what if you want to move in your life, you're, you're really
00:02:25.680
limiting what you can do with these surgeries. So I don't know about this. It's pretty crazy
00:02:30.480
that people are actually doing this. I mean, the look smashing stuff goes crazy. People,
00:02:33.620
bone smashing, jaw surgeries, implants. The thing I want to say about height is that there's a,
00:02:40.580
there's, there's compelling evidence that what you feed children during their growing years can
00:02:46.640
affect height. Obviously, the genetics have a factor. You're tall, your wife's height,
00:02:52.640
these kind of things, these will affect your children's height. But we see this across the
00:02:57.780
world. Height in both men and women is correlated with nutrition and correlated with the consumption
00:03:04.420
of animal products and specifically vitamin K2. So vitamin K2 is a form of vitamin K
00:03:10.240
that occurs in animal foods. It's in things like cheeses or full-fat milk, meat, liver we talked
00:03:16.140
about, butter. This is vitamin K2. And there is compelling evidence that giving children enough
00:03:23.220
vitamin K2 when they're growing, which means feeding them liver or liver supplements or butter,
00:03:28.680
things that we're afraid of, feeding them enough meat will allow them to achieve their maximum
00:03:33.820
potential height. K2? Vitamin K2 is linked to height? Yes, because vitamin K2 is involved in
0.99
00:03:40.640
bone turnover. And vitamin K2 deficiency appears to cause calcification of the growth plates.
00:03:47.840
So when you have enough vitamin K2, you manage calcium stores in the body properly and where
00:03:54.060
your body puts calcium. As an adult, adequate vitamin K2 is consistently and significantly
00:03:59.500
associated with lower rates of calcific aortic sclerosis, so calcification of the aortic valve,
00:04:08.620
So vitamin K2 is found in animal foods, cheeses.
00:04:15.460
Those who had the highest level of K2 in their diet,
00:04:25.860
and the lowest amounts of calcific aortic sclerosis,
00:04:34.920
So you make sure your children are getting enough animal foods, eggs, butter, liver, things like this, red meat that we shouldn't be afraid of.
00:04:42.500
That allows the growth plates to not calcify too early and to stunt growth.
00:04:49.300
I always wish I was 5'11 or 6'0", and I'm thinking, I wish my parents had fed me more eggs, you know, or a little better diet.
00:04:54.620
Both my parents were doctors, but I grew up in the low-fat craze.
00:04:58.480
And, you know, we had kind of an average standard American diet.
00:05:03.500
I mean, I'm fine in the end, but I can tell you that as a man who is 5'9",
00:05:08.400
I look at men who are 6'1", man, I wish, you know?
00:05:23.240
You send me videos of stuff you're doing in Costa Rica, surfing,
00:05:28.860
Every time you send me the video, I'm in an office.
00:05:31.720
I'm like, this guy is sending me another one of these videos
00:05:35.940
Anyway, yeah, I want to be able to do those things.
00:05:40.980
But before the podcast, we were talking about children.
00:05:59.840
either in capsules or in real liver or eggs and because i want my children to have as much of an
00:06:07.520
ability to live their life as healthy as possible end of story so it's interesting stuff yeah no
00:06:12.600
question the vitamin k what was it again k2 vitamin k2 interesting thing uh uh to look at
00:06:19.220
