good with your stature. So I got into bodybuilding and 69 00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:06.280 I did everything you could do wrong on that process, 70 00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:09.840 but that's how I learned. And so from that journey 71 00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:13.400 I had some success. I was competing and winning, not 72 00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:16.439 necessarily winning, I was getting second, a third place. And 73 00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:19.360 reality was in those days, which is in the late 74 00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:23.040 eighties early nineties, you got to be on drugs, which 75 00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:24.959 I wasn't going to do that. So I decided, well, 76 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:27.360 I'm just going to stay healthy and I like bodybuilding 77 00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:29.959 and that was my lifestyle. So I've been doing that 78 00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:35.519 ever since. And then during this journey, when we hit 79 00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:39.399 about forty five forty six, I started to not my 80 00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:42.560 body wasn't responding to the training and the things I 81 00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:46.560 was doing like it normally had been. And then my 82 00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:49.040 wife made a comment about this aging thing is kind 83 00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:51.839 of a you know something, it's kind of a headache, 84 00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:53.879 and so I'm like, I don't think it's anything to 85 00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.519 do about it, but I said, well, I mean this, see, 86 00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.319 there's anything you can do about it. And so basically 87 00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:01.040 at the age of four, with each five, I just 88 00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:05.040 I started studying aging. And so I've been studying ever since. 89 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:09.920 I'm sixty two today, and so there's a lot to 90 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:12.600 know about how how the body ages. And it was 91 00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:16.439 pretty you know, pretty basic in the beginning, but the 92 00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:20.680 last five years have really speeded up what happens with aging, 93 00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:23.120 and so I'm fascinated by it. And so I've just been 94 00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:25.920 studying it. And you know, the idea of letting Larner 95 00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:30.639 was always attractive as well, because if you're doing well financially, 96 00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:34.560 you want to be able to maximize the you know, 97 00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:38.279 all the hard work you're doing, and you look around 98 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:40.600 outside you see people in poor health. They can't hardly 99 00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:42.839 move well. I didn't want to be part of that, 100 00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:44.360 and I didn't want to have somebody out, you know, 101 00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:46.399 have to take care of me. And so that's the 102 00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:50.399 division is how do I keep it again? Health span lifespan, 103 00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:53.759 So where I get the best return for the amount 104 00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:58.079 of years I'm alive and not be you know, bedridden, 105 00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:00.600 or not be in a wheelchair. Things like that. Don't 106 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:02.920 get me wrong, there's accents that can cause this, but 107 00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:05.160 just things that I could control. 108 00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.360 Was yeah, yeah, yeah, I prefer to learn about Well, 109 00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:12.560 I think I think you brought up multiple really interesting points, 110 00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.160 So let me explore a couple of them. Number one, 111 00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:18.560 the importance of mentoring. Because you made a comment like 112 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:20.240 when you first started out, you made a lot of mistakes. 113 00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:22.560 I'm assuming that's because you didn't have guidance. You were 114 00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:24.920 going to do a gym banging a bunch of iron. 115 00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:27.800 Maybe you're hurting yourself, you're sore because you didn't really 116 00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:29.879 have a coach, you didn't have somebody really knew what 117 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:30.399 they was doing. 118 00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.920 I'm assuming right, absolutely correct. Yes, I mean I was 119 00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:38.160 reading magazines, but they're very misleading. The media could be 120 00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:42.199 very misleading unfortunately with things like that. 121 00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:46.040 So mm, and then this whole concept, I'm going to 122 00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.360 say quality of life. I love this term health span. 123 00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:51.360 It's kind of just because it really says what it is. 124 00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:54.279 But I think, and correct me if I'm wrong or 125 00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:57.000 you have a different vision. It really It's about choices, right, 126 00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:01.639 I mean absolutely, because I got to think. I mean, 127 00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:04.759 I like to think i'd lead a healthy ish lifestyle, 128 00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:06.839 and sure it could be better. But there's things that 129 00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:11.480 are obvious choices in your diet, right, choices in exercising 130 00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:14.360 or not exercising. I think it's I don't care how 131 00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:18.199 healthy you are. Nobody's gonna argue if you're active, it's 132 00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:21.879 better than being sedentary, right, Better to have healthy food 133 00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:24.000 or at least what you think is healthy food compared 134 00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:29.319 to lousy food. But do you have like a list, 135 00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:32.839 like are there things you would say you you must 136 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:34.800 do if you want to maintain your health? I know 137 00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:38.639 everybody's biology is different and their genetics is

different, but 138 00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:42.279 and there's is there a list of things like don't 139 00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:44.639 do ever like like this? If you want to age 140 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:48.839 more quickly? Are do you have like a quick two 141 00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:51.160 or three things you could rattle off there? Like I 142 00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:53.040 want to live to one hundred and fifty? What should 143 00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:56.160 I never do? It's not what I'm doing every day. 144 00:07:56.199 --> 00:08:01.759 Let's see based on my experience and research. Thing, first 145 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:04.800 and foremost, the first thing everybody should do is get 146 00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:09.079 rid of or get off of process ultra processed food, 147 00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:13.639 noss benefits to it. You know, it doesn't do any good. 148 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:14.759 It creates inflammation. 149 00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:18.079 Give you one example, give an example of processed food, 150 00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:18.759 just in case it. 151 00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:20.079 Have fast food. 152 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.079 Okay, process no big max, no big Max. 153 00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:27.639 Well, yeah, a lot of the fast food period is 154 00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:29.319 not good. I don't care what restaurant. 155 00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:32.480 Okay, Well, I'm not singling out McDonald's. I'm just saying 156 00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:35.879 that I think that's sort of a epitome of a 157 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:40.519 fast food right. No, no, Taco Bell exactly. But it's 158 00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:42.120 not just there. You can get processed food in the 159 00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:43.720 supermarket all day if you want. 160 00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:46.559 Yeah. So anything comes in a bag with a barcode 161 00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:51.240 or a box, it's processed, Okay, And we eat a 162 00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:54.679 whole real food. That's where the money is. Okay, that's 163 00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:57.399 where you get the best return, whole real good, which 164 00:08:57.399 --> 00:09:00.840 our ancestors used to do. Okay, you can't go wrong 165 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.080 in my opinion, with whole real food. So that's your 166 00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:05.720 main focus. But then you want to avoid is all 167 00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:08.960 this processed stuff because all the chemicals in it, it doesn't 168 00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:12.159 clear your system. Well, it doesn't help you. Seed oils 169 00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:14.559 are one of the main problems that we have now 170 00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:17.799 as well, because that's in everything. You can go down 171 00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:20.360 a rabbit hole on that for a while. So I'm 172 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:22.320 not gonna get into it right now. Just for the 173 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:23.480 sake of being efficient with. 174 00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:26.519 Information, like all the hidden sugar and the corn syrup, 175 00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:26.919 I mean. 176 00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:33.960 Exactly, then you need to prioritize, prioritize, prioritize sleep. People 177 00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:37.480 discount sleep, and what they don't understand is that's when 178 00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:40.960 all the repair, all the building and cleaning processes are 179 00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:44.240 doing their job, and you keep short circing sleep because 180 00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:47.320 people are trying to be more efficient people be more productive. 181 00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:50.399 It doesn't really work that way. You start short circling it, 182 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:52.799 you're gonna have more brain fatigue, you're gonna have more 183 00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:56.480 lack of energy. You're gonna want to eat more sugary foods. 184 00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:59.559 You keep your energy up, more caffeine, and that's not good. 185 00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:02.720 You'd be monitoring your sleep, make sure you're getting quality, 186 00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:06.279 quality deep sleep, and quality rim sleep, which is dream 187 00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:09.519 sleep and deep sleep. You want to actually monitor those. 188 00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:11.759 And if you're getting good, good sleep, you know and 189 00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:14.559 you feel good. Once you start tracking it, you're gonna 190 00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:16.840 realize the days you didn't get good sleep, what can 191 00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.039 happen versus the days you've got good sleep. It's very important, 192 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:24.039 so no process to deep sleep. The next one is exercise. 193 00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:27.039 You need to exercise to keep stress on the body. 194 00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:30.120 Mild forms of stress is very good. It's called hormesis. 195 00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:33.320 It doesn't kill you, makes you stronger, and that's what 196 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:36.320 exercises as a form of hormesis. There's other things too, 197 00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:40.039 like fasting and things like that, but exercise helped with 198 00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:43.200 autoplogy getting rid of old sentience itsels. It helps to 199 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.000 burn that off because old sense it sales can lead 200 00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.440 to cancer because they can start to replicate because they're 201 00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:53.279 damaged cells. So exercise is critical on top of the first. 202 00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:55.480 Stress tucking like cardio or weightlifting or both. 203 00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:59.399 So cardio has benefits, but your best return for the 204 00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:03.799 money is resistance training because resistance training maintains joint strength, 205 00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:08.360 bone density, and muscle is really your currency for longevity. 206 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:10.679 If you don't have muscle, you're not going to go 207 00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:13.960 very

far. If you have an extended hospital stay of 208 00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:16.759 a week or more, you're gonna acterer for your muscle. 209 00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:18.639 You're gonna lose that muscle and it's hard to get 210 00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:21.240 it back when you lose it. And as we age, 211 00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:23.399 you don't put it on in the easier because you 212 00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:27.200 have an issue called antabolic resistance. What this means is 213 00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:29.840 you don't retain your muscle as well and you don't 214 00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:32.399 absorb your protein as well. So that's why you're want 215 00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:34.679 to keep as much muscle as possible on your body 216 00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:37.200 because that's going to keep you good, good metabolism. It's 217 00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.639 going to keep your mitochondria, which is the energy system 218 00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:43.120 of your body higher tremendous not of benefits. Cardio gives 219 00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:46.480 you some benefits as far as cardiovascular, but it doesn't 220 00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:47.879 do much for muscle at all. 221 00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:52.240 Let me ask you this because there's a lot more 222 00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:54.480 I want to get into. But is there a way 223 00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:56.320 to come? Like let's say I got a half houred 224 00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:59.519 exercise right, and I'm like, is there a way I 225 00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:01.600 can Like could I walk with weights? 226 00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:01.799 Like? 227 00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:05.039 Is that get both does that check both boxes? Or 228 00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:06.320 is that just wishful thinking? 229 00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:08.720 Well, if you're walking with weights, you're going to have 230 00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:12.080 some resistance in some specific areas that are affected, but 231 00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:14.679 not enough how you're walking, how you're carrying the weight. 232 00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:17.279 But you want to, in my opinion, to get the 233 00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:19.799 best return, you want to train all your different muscle groups, 234 00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:22.399 so you have a more balance physique, but also you 235 00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:25.440 burn more energy. You're going to get a better return 236 00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:28.840 because of the how the body is working those different 237 00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:31.519 muscle groups. You have large muscle groups like your legs, 238 00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:34.639 your back, and then your chest, your shoulders and arms. Okay, 239 00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:38.200 if you're always training your legs and your arms, well 240 00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:40.120 you're not getting things to your back and your chest 241 00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:41.799 the way you would like, and so those areas are 242 00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:43.200 going to suffer them not going to look as good 243 00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:45.559 and not going to keep your posture as good. As 244 00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:49.559 an example, you want to balance strategy. If you're going 245 00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:51.879 to do resistant training cardio, which is fine, do you 246 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:55.120 resistance train first because that's when your collectaching levels are 247 00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:57.759 the highest, because that's what you burn, and then you 248 00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:00.639 can do some cardio, Like if you do thirty minutes 249 00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:04.159 is through twenty minutes resistance training at as level, and 250 00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:06.519 then ten minutes of cardio to finish up, so you 251 00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:08.759 get the best of both worlds on a thirty minute 252 00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:09.519 time span. 253 00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:13.559 Interesting, Now I assume like you coach people, you mentor 254 00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:18.919 people and all this stuff. Let me ask you this 255 00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:25.600 longevity is I guess as a subset of health somehow right, 256 00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:29.120 Like it's in that field, right, Yeah. Where do you 257 00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:32.960 see this going? Is this something that's becoming more popular 258 00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:35.840 in the mainstream? Is this something that everybody kind of 259 00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:40.559 knows but just gets too busy with life. Where do 260 00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:42.919 you see the future of longevity in terms of a 261 00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:46.720 sort of a I don't mean consciousness like spiritually, I 262 00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:50.120 mean in terms of people knowing about it, implementing things 263 00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:53.600 that you would you would advocate well. 264 00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:56.559 Longevity, in my opinion, based on what I've been learning 265 00:13:56.600 --> 00:13:58.679 and paying attention to it, it's going to be huge 266 00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:01.759 in the future because the people that are investing in 267 00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.919 longevity are people that are successful because they want more energy, 268 00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:08.519 they want to live longer, they want to enjoy life longer, 269 00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:11.519 they want to have better mobility. And so these successful 270 00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:14.000 people they're going to invest in it because if you 271 00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:18.440 can live a nice quality hundred years versus being in 272 00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:23.840 you know, incapacitated mentally, you know, mentioned things like that, 273 00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:27.080 who wouldn't want it? You know, if you slow down aging, 274 00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:29.679 you're going to slow down disease. And that's where the 275 00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:33.480 money is. Let's slow down aging, let's slope not having disease, 276 00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:36.440 and let's have a really healthy

lifestyle and then see 277 00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:39.039 alcohol we can take it. Now, some of the projections 278 00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:41.000 they're making you are pretty extreme. They're saying we could 279 00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:43.360 live the one hundred and fifty or even older. But 280 00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:47.159 irregardless of that, it's what you can do today to 281 00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:49.879 improve where you're going now. There is a lot of 282 00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:51.960 science and a lot of stuff coming down to pipeline, 283 00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:55.480 especially with AI now that's going to help improve the 284 00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:59.679 quality life. But you know, like anything else, you've got 285 00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:01.639 to be want to put some time and effort into it. 286 00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:04.600 So that's where if you don't want to waste time, 287 00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:06.559 you get with the right people that can help coach 288 00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:08.240 you on that if you have an interest in it. 289 00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:11.480 A lot of people take their health for granted because 290 00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:14.159 they don't feel pain today, they don't feel well. 291 00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:16.240 That's I think part of the problem. You don't worry 292 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:17.279 about it till you get sick. 293 00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:19.480 Yeah, people don't wake up and go hey, I think 294 00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:21.919 I got high blood pressure, or they won't wake up 295 00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:24.240 and go hey, I think I got a high cholesterol issue. 296 00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:27.240 With apple be Now, I didn't say LDL, I said 297 00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:28.960 apple will be. There's a big difference between those as 298 00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:31.919 far as cholesterol measurement. People are starting to wake up 299 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:33.879 to this, but they don't really realize it because the 300 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:38.879 way the medical community communicates cholesterol. So that's a whole 301 00:15:38.919 --> 00:15:41.440 another rabbit hole we can go down. But these are 302 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:44.679 things that people are looking for better answers to get 303 00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:47.879 a better return. And if you can have good quality energy, 304 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:51.200 good quality sex, drive, and you're feeling good about yourself 305 00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:54.399 with confidence, who wouldn't want more of that? But if 306 00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:56.519 you go with what's going on in the media right 307 00:15:56.559 --> 00:15:59.399 now on the mainstream, with the current food system which 308 00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:01.600 is toxic, you're going to be like the rest of them. 309 00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:03.399 You're gonna be looking to get on a g LP 310 00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:05.480 one or some of the analyst to try to fix 311 00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:07.720 all the damage you

did in the past. 312 00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:08.840 Mm hmm. 313 00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:11.440 You can all be corrected naturally as well, but it 314 00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:13.759 depends on how much work you want to put into it. 315 00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:18.080 Me let me ask you this question, and I don't 316 00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:21.720 this is not meant to be political or any criticism, 317 00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:25.559 but where do you where? Where do you? You kind 318 00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:30.080 of mentioned this a little bit, but Western medicine famous 319 00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:32.440 for you don't feel good to take a drug, or 320 00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:34.559 you don't feel good to get a surgery, right, it's 321 00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:38.200 we've long since unfortunately abandoned this sort of basis of 322 00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:43.720 natural uh natural health. Right. Where do you stand on that? 323 00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:44.200 Is? 324 00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:46.039 Is there a place for that at all? Or do 325 00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:50.360 you think people almost have to replace their thinking? Like 326 00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:52.120 if you if I came to you as a client, 327 00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:54.399 You're probably going to do some sort of analysis, Steve, 328 00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:55.679 what are you doing now? What are you and what's 329 00:16:55.720 --> 00:17:01.000 your what's your diary of stuff? But you know, where 330 00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:03.320 do you stand on this? Maybe philosophically a little bit, 331 00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:05.880 but more from a practical standpoint. If I have a 332 00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:08.119 heart attack, I'm going to the emergency room. But I'm 333 00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:11.240 saying you're talking more like day to day lifestyle to 334 00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:15.559 minimize health risks and maximize health optimization or as you say, 335 00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:19.319 health span. Right, But to talk about that a little 336 00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:19.759 bit arm them. 337 00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:23.960 Okay, So if you have an acute issue heart attack, accident, 338 00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:27.319 or whatever, the medical community is their top shelf. Okay, 339 00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:30.279 they do really good on that. If you have an 340 00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:35.359 issue that's systemic and that it can't be cleared up 341 00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:40.039 with a prescription, then we're talking about a root cause problem. 342 00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:43.839 The medical community doesn't do root cost solutions. Now they're 343 00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:46.839 starting moving that direction to some degree. Some doctors are, 344 00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:50.559 which is awesome, but it's very few and far between unfortunately. 345 00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:54.799 So the medical community is a prescription based diagnosis and 346 00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:57.720 if they can't do a prescription, they're not really going

347 00:17:57.759 --> 00:17:59.880 to be it'll help you, and that's how they roll. 348 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:02.680 So that's what the current problems are. They don't get 349 00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:06.200 into the root cause. Well, what's causing the root cause problem? Well, 350 00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:08.759 you know, let's see what you're doing on nutrition, because 351 00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:13.319 nutrition and supplementation those that's the raw materials you need 352 00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:15.960 to function at a high level. If you take in 353 00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:19.519 poor fuel like in a gas tank, you know what's 354 00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:21.960 going to happen over time. It's going to create corrosion, 355 00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:24.039 it's going to create other problems, and that's what's going 356 00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:26.519 on with our food system and that's a huge problem. 357 00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:28.960 Let alone water. You got to have good clean water 358 00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:32.119 and if you're not even drinking filtered water, you're living dangerously. 359 00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:35.160 And also I wouldn't recommend drinking all your filtered water 360 00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:38.079 through bottled water because there's a lot of microplastics in 361 00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:40.960 that these days unfortunately, so glass is always best in 362 00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:43.480 that case, or staining the still containers and some of 363 00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:46.599 the newer things that we have available because what you're 364 00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:48.200 putting in your bond and your body has to clear 365 00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:50.640 it out and filter it. So that's another key thing. 366 00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:53.680 So with the medical community, use the guidance, but you 367 00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:56.599 need to be your own advocate, do your own research. 368 00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:58.519 There's a lot of good tools out there you can 369 00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:02.519 and be careful using AI. Now AI has some good information, 370 00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:06.400 but AI is using the data that was given coming 371 00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:09.319 from poor studies and it's recommending it. You need to 372 00:19:09.400 --> 00:19:11.839 wait through that. That's what I found. So when don't 373 00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:14.400 you come to using AI. I don't necessarily believe everything 374 00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:18.359 in chat GPT. I tend to look at perplexity AI 375 00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:21.319 for medical reasons because it's kind of footnotes where the 376 00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:24.079 sources came from a lot better than what does a 377 00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:25.119 chat GPT has. 378 00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:32.799 Another example, listen Steve Green here my guest armin Armin 379 00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:39.559 Echo Barger, expert in wellness, health span, lifestyle for fitness, longevity. 380 00:19:39.880 --> 00:19:42.799 I hope you're enjoying this conversation. I'm getting motivated a 381 00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:44.119 soon as we get I want to go grab some 382 00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:48.799 barbells man do something. But listen, every time, this is 383 00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:51.279 about the success journey. You can have all the success 384 00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:52.880 financially you want not going to help you if you're 385 00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:55.880 laying in a hospital bed or worse. Right, So there's 386 00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:58.519 an absolute one hundred I believe, one hundred percent place 387 00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:00.759 for what ARM is bringing to us today. If you're 388 00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:03.200 enjoying this, please share it. That's what this whole podcast 389 00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:06.160 is about. It's about getting information that can help you 390 00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:09.039 and people you know and people they know as much 391 00:20:09.079 --> 00:20:11.319 as we can. So let me ask you a couple 392 00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:12.839 of questions, and we're going to start to wrap up 393 00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:18.920 a little bit. Somebody wants to work with you. Is 394 00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:21.119 there a certain point in time, like, oh, I turned forty, 395 00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:23.039 I gotta call Arman, or I turned fifty, I gotta 396 00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:26.839 call Arman? Or is there some trigger point? Because I 397 00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:30.000 think truthfully, if somebody's basically feeling good, they're probably not 398 00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:33.759 worrying about it right or wrong? Right? But what would 399 00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:37.400 be an event or something that might say, hey, listen, 400 00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:39.400 I really need to have a conversation with an expert 401 00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:42.079 in this field, no different than to move with anything else. Right, 402 00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:46.359 you know you can't read, you get glasses, But what 403 00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:49.519 would be that? What would be some trigger points maybe 404 00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:53.400 or some events small or large that are an age 405 00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:55.480 number where they should start to reach out to somebody 406 00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:56.039 like yourself. 407 00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:01.000 Well, that's a yeah, that's a pretty broad question. 408 00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:02.960 It's a leading question. I'm just trying to get people 409 00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:03.279 to say. 410 00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:06.599 So there is some parts to that. So I would say, 411 00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:08.960 first and foremost, if you don't feel as good as 412 00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:12.079 you used to feel, and you need to start thinking 413 00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:14.799 about what you're doing. Because when you feel good, you 414 00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:16.400 kind of live on the edge a little bit. You 415 00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:18.640 party a little longer,

you drink a little more, you 416 00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:21.119 get a little less sleep. You know, you try to 417 00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:23.680 do more. Okay, Well, when things start leveling out and 418 00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:26.519 not being what they used to be, yeah, you need 419 00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:29.400 to start checking into what's going on. You need to 420 00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:34.440 re evaluate everything you're doing. Generally, if you're living a 421 00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:37.920 pretty good lifestyle, I'm not living too hard with drugs 422 00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:41.640 and too much alcohol and other things, you're probably gonna 423 00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:44.720 be pretty good to your thirties. Now, there are issues 424 00:21:44.759 --> 00:21:48.160 with people with hormone levels because of our toxic food 425 00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:51.480 systems that have depleted hormone levels at an earlier age. Again, 426 00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:54.440 that's a symptom based thing, So that's what I'm talking about. 427 00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:57.799 But generally after forty things are going to be slowing 428 00:21:57.880 --> 00:22:00.519 down as well, and if you're not feel really good 429 00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:03.759 after forty, then you definitely need to start doing some analysis. 430 00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:06.039 And so my first recommendation on that is do some 431 00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:10.319 very very comprehensive lab work to see where you actually are. 432 00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:12.119 You need to look under the hood and see what's 433 00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:15.000 going on. And it's a I rarely have people do 434 00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:17.799 my lab panel to come back with a perfect score 435 00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:20.799 or even a decent score, because there's a lot of 436 00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:24.079 things that they don't even understand, and the medical community, 437 00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:28.160 unfortunately isn't doing that. So anytime you and then on 438 00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:31.279 top of that, if you're lost muscle and you can't 439 00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:33.559 seem to get it back, you've got too much body fat, 440 00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:37.119 you're frustrated what you're doing. Uh, you're just your energy 441 00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:41.039 levels are in the tank. You can't function well mentally, 442 00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:43.200 you're starting to lose your edge. You need to start 443 00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:47.039 reevaluating things. That would be a real simple format because 444 00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:50.079 that happened at any age. And I work with people 445 00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:55.240 from you know, thirty, mostly from thirty to seventy and 446 00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:59.039 up okay, and some people when they get into sixties 447 00:22:59.039 --> 00:23:02.640 and seventy exapt you're like, well, there's nothing you can do. Well, 448 00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:06.039 that's absolutely wrong, and that's incorrect.

There's plenty you can 449 00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:08.799 do and you'd be surprised. So I'm just letting that 450 00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:11.079 be out that I'm sixty two, so I'm not seventy. 451 00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:12.839 I don't know what it feels like to be at seventy, 452 00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:14.279 but I can tell you what it feels like to 453 00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:15.960 be at sixty two, what it felt like to be 454 00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:17.720 at forty would it felt like to be fifty? 455 00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:20.720 But in your case, I mean, I think most people, 456 00:23:20.880 --> 00:23:24.240 given the story you've told, we're pretty athletic. You know 457 00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:27.160 we're working pretty hard. I mean weightlifting is not exactly 458 00:23:28.039 --> 00:23:32.279 an easy sport, right, I mean, I mean it takes 459 00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:34.519 a lot of dedication, takes a lot of physical effort. 460 00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:36.759 So I think most people would say, hey, this guy 461 00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:39.400 was paying his dues, this guy was pushing it, probably 462 00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:43.319 more than the average person, right, And even in your case, 463 00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:46.039 you started to hit a wall. Well maybe that's not 464 00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:47.720 the best way to say it, but you reached the 465 00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:50.799 point where your performance wasn't what it was at some point, 466 00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:54.039 which is what led you to make this evaluation, which 467 00:23:54.079 --> 00:23:57.319 has led you into this career. I guess if you 468 00:23:57.400 --> 00:24:00.559 want to call it that. So everybody is going to 469 00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:02.400 at some point. This is the problem getting older and 470 00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:08.160 nobody lives forever. Two quick questions is we haven't really 471 00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:12.960 broken down into gender, but same consideration for females and males. 472 00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:17.079 I mean, maybe it's different how it manifests, but would 473 00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:21.759 you approach a woman's goals this way different than a man's. 474 00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:24.559 Yeah, there's a little bit of variance there. You know, 475 00:24:24.640 --> 00:24:27.400 men have a certain Men produce more male hormones. There 476 00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:31.200 are a certain way I work with men. Females have 477 00:24:31.680 --> 00:24:34.799 multiple hormones. They have a lot higher amounts of hormones. 478 00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:37.559 They have up to thirty five different types of estrogens 479 00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:42.359 as an example. Okay, so what the female, It's going 480 00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:44.079 to be a little bit different because they also have 481 00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:46.200 different goals as more as how they want to look. 482 00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:49.480 So I based it on what they want to feel 483 00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:51.839

like with how they want to look, and then how 484 00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:55.240 their health is. So there is variants on both of 485 00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:57.880 those and so they are going to be customized. But 486 00:24:58.279 --> 00:25:01.559 all this is the customization has been based on doing 487 00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:05.720 a deep dive interview about what they've learned before, what 488 00:25:05.799 --> 00:25:09.000 their beliefs are really are today, and where they'd like 489 00:25:09.079 --> 00:25:10.920 to go. And that's how I work with people, and 490 00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:13.200 we want to fix it to where it's going to 491 00:25:13.319 --> 00:25:15.839 do what they wanted to do and make it part 492 00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:19.160 of their lifestyle that they want, not a cookie cutter deal. 493 00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:20.519 This is how it works, and there's no out and 494 00:25:20.519 --> 00:25:23.119 there's no other options. So I have to research a 495 00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:25.559 lot of things with clients depending on what kind of 496 00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:27.119 things that come up in the lab work. And it's 497 00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:29.920 amazing what can come up in the lab work, and 498 00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:31.799 I can get into the rabbit hole all kinds of 499 00:25:31.799 --> 00:25:34.440 stuff on that. But you know, you need to have 500 00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:37.400 a strategy if you want to really have a good, 501 00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:40.759 healthy lifespan and also look and feel the way you 502 00:25:40.799 --> 00:25:42.519 want to look. Because there's people that in their sending 503 00:25:42.519 --> 00:25:47.400 these look phenomenal because they've done the work and it does. 504 00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:49.200 That'd be difficult. You just need to know what to 505 00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:51.400 do and you needn't know how to sort through that. 506 00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:53.160 And that's why you help people. You sort through the 507 00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:56.359 garbage that's in the media. There's a lot of garbage 508 00:25:56.359 --> 00:25:58.279 in the media and they're just trying to sell stuff, 509 00:25:58.400 --> 00:26:01.799 products and things like that, and the reality is some 510 00:26:01.960 --> 00:26:03.960 things are necessary and a lot of them aren't. 511 00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:09.440 How do people reach you. I hope anybody's listening saying, man, 512 00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:12.160 I need a piece of this. It's not working what 513 00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:14.680 I'm doing. How do they reach you? And we're going 514 00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:16.559 to put this in the show notes losing you driving 515 00:26:16.680 --> 00:26:20.759 or listening in some capacity.

There anything we did not 553 00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:19.599 get into that you just want to mention or talk 554

00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:21.839 about quickly before we go into our wrap up. 555 00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:26.559 Well, I mean there's there's just so many things that 556 00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:30.079 that can be discussed. But my thing is first and 557 00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:32.599 foremost that people really need to focus on. Just be 558 00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:36.279 your own advocate. Trust all the other systems that are 559 00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:39.799 out there. You need to do some uh you know, 560 00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:44.400 get second and third opinions, because it's just there's just 561 00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:48.039 more available now and so you have a lot of choices. 562 00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:50.000 And but then you need to, you know, find the 563 00:28:50.119 --> 00:28:54.200 right resources that you trust, that you believe, that you're 564 00:28:54.200 --> 00:28:56.799 agreeing with to help you with where you want to go, 565 00:28:57.039 --> 00:28:59.359 because it's about you at the end of the day. 566 00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:02.200 And then everybody wants to sell you stuff. 567 00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:05.720 Let's just be real, Okay, Okay, it's hard to separate 568 00:29:05.839 --> 00:29:10.039 this from the capitalism. Yeah, that's the trouble. 569 00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:12.279 If you're on your own advocate and get your own 570 00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:15.559 people that you'd like and trust to battance things off, 571 00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:17.440 it's like having a good CPA.

You live in 605 00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:10.599 a nice place. 606 00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:14.119 But I live in Florida's I really enjoyed Florida again. 607 00:31:14.519 --> 00:31:20.240 I traveled a few places, pretty pretty good. But that's 608 00:31:20.279 --> 00:31:20.759 a tough one. 609 00:31:20.799 --> 00:31:23.079 Off the top, there's so many places. 610 00:31:23.119 --> 00:31:25.799 Getting ready to go to Africa next year. My wife 611 00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:27.839 really helped Ben on going to Africa. 612 00:31:28.359 --> 00:31:29.799 Am I was the same way, I've got to do 613 00:31:29.880 --> 00:31:30.319 a safari. 614 00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:36.880 It's just like gig and all that. So unfortunately, but 615 00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:39.680 you know, I bought out of there after I get done. 616 00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:44.480 You got like a hero, you got a person, like 617 00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:49.400 a role model. I mean you mentioned Arnold, well, Arnold 618 00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:52.279 to us you know this generation, but you know bodybuilders, 619 00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:55.839 there's somebody you know that that you really feel has 620 00:31:56.359 --> 00:31:57.000 motivated you. 621 00:31:58.440 --> 00:32:02.079 Well. Arnold was probably the first one, but in the 622 00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:05.200 world of business, probably been pretty impressive with Elon Mosk. 623 00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:08.359 I mean that probably a pretty common one, but you know, 624 00:32:08.759 --> 00:32:10.880 kind of analyzed him a lot of different ways, and 625 00:32:11.799 --> 00:32:14.759 the guy has really good decision making capacity in so 626 00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:17.880 I

think that he's a good guy to follow on 627 00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:19.880 that just that's my opinion. 628 00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:23.119 Well, if the scorecard is how much money you made, 629 00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:24.720 he's doing pretty well, right. 630 00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:29.079 Yeah, but not that he has good reflections on other 631 00:32:29.160 --> 00:32:32.400 topics too that I found with I agree with most 632 00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:32.839 of the time. 633 00:32:33.359 --> 00:32:35.160 You know what I think the key is is surrounding 634 00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:38.680 yourself with good Nobody can do everything exactly. I've had 635 00:32:38.720 --> 00:32:41.039 a whole series of podcasts just on this exact topic. 636 00:32:41.160 --> 00:32:44.240 Those are you long term listeners around episodes sixty five 637 00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:49.200 to eighty of surrounding yourself, of realizing you can't be 638 00:32:49.279 --> 00:32:56.359 all things to everything, and offloading and delegating to quality people. 639 00:32:56.480 --> 00:33:02.319 And sometimes that means whipping out the checkbook. But it's impossible, 640 00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:05.160 especially as an entrepreneur, to wear every hat that you 641 00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:09.279 have to wear well. You want to focus on what 642 00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:12.200 your zone of genius is and what you're passionate about 643 00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:15.519 and let all the other stuff that contendially get in 644 00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:22.519 a way be handled by professionals. This was great, man, 645 00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:25.240 I appreciate you coming on. I hope this if listen, 646 00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:27.039 I always say things like this, I'm gonna say a 647 00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:31.559 little differently today. If this helps one person possitively impact 648 00:33:31.599 --> 00:33:35.240 their life, this was a success, it would helps ten fantastic, 649 00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:38.200 it helps a thousand, great, great, great.

And you know, I think we got 655 00:33:54.160 --> 00:33:56.079 a lot to talk about. I got I usually take 656 00:33:56.079 --> 00:33:57.920 a lot of notes, but I got two pages notes. 657 00:33:57.960 --> 00:34:00.519 That's very rare. I have a guest and usually I 658 00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:03.839 run out after one. Listen.

What's the point having 665 00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:24.039 one hundred million dollars if you're laying in the hospital 666 00:34:24.119 --> 00:34:27.639 bed or worse, and it's kind of your own doing 667 00:34:27.719 --> 00:34:30.559 sometimes because you make bad choices. Think about what you're doing, 668 00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:32.639 Think about what you're eating, think about what you drinking, 669 00:34:32.679 --> 00:34:35.400 think about what you're doing every day. I get it, 670 00:34:36.119 --> 00:34:38.360 got to pay the rent. You got to take care 671 00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:42.440 of number one sometimes too, right, not not twenty four hours, 672 00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:45.960 just dedicated. It's all about habit, right, people know, I 673 00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:47.960 get a five in the morning. I exercise every day 674 00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:49.679 from five to six or six thirty in the morning. 675 00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:51.760 I may not be doing the right things because it's 676 00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:54.039 a lot of its cardio, but even so it's better 677 00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:57.840 and laying in bed.
