00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:08.960
I have a retired special forces individual who was shot locally, um, got shot in the pelvis, went across his pelvis, and cut across his spinal cord.
00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:14.960
So he suffered a uh essentially it was called caudaquinis syndrome or a spinal cord injury.
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:24.079
And the first day he came in the clinic, you know, he had seen his neurologist, he'd been through the BA, he'd been through multiple physicians, and they're like, you know, this is your new norm.
00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:27.199
And he's walking in, he can barely walk at all.
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:33.119
And uh through the course of one year, he was shot in February of last year.
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:36.719
Last week he was running a 720 mile.
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:43.679
Who gave me a podcast?
00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:46.159
This is Jeff Allen.
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:48.479
Welcome to my podcast.
00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:57.920
Hey everybody, this is Jeff Allen.
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.880
Welcome to Who Gave Jeff Allen a podcast?
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:02.320
We will find you.
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:03.280
We are looking.
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:06.879
There's six billion of you out there, and we will find you.
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:13.359
Uh today's sponsor, as it always is every week, Nordic Wave, a cold plunge.
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:15.599
Uh, it's a big Yeti cup.
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:21.680
You just put it on your deck in your basement, fill it with cold water, sit in it, and it will transform your life.
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:25.519
Embrace your inner Viking.
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:26.799
That's right.
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:28.319
Be a Norseman.
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:31.599
Cold pl we'll talk about it today with today's guests.
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:37.840
Uh and uh, like I said last week, if you got a lust issue, it's a great thing to cool the jets.
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:40.719
So that's true.
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:42.079
That's true, isn't it?
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:45.519
Anyway, today's guest, I've been looking forward to this, Dr.
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:46.640
Trent Nessler.
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:52.959
Uh uh, you know, people ask me all the time on the road, what is your podcast about?
00:01:53.200 --> 00:02:00.400
Um I I never wanted to get niche into any one particular area because uh I like a variety of things.
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:04.719
Like like you, you like uh watching different things, and uh I like a variety of things.
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:10.560
But the health and wellness area is something I'm leaning towards because of uh my age.
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:19.439
And um I've uh I I my parents, uh when they were my age now, 70, my father uh could barely uh barely walk.
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:24.159
He had to give up the game that he loved, golf, because physically he couldn't do what he wouldn't.
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.439
And and that is not the way life should be.
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:35.759
Um God did not intend us to wither up and die at 60 years old and uh just sit and wait for the Grim Reaper to come and grab us.
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:39.759
So um uh I'm leaning into that area a lot more and more.
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:42.960
I'm learning more and more as uh in my own journey.
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:53.599
So um I would love to help you guys uh navigate through the noise because if you're like me, you go on the YouTube on the in the internet, and there's a lot of noise out there.
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:56.400
Um I have a uh a doctor in town here.
00:02:56.479 --> 00:03:00.800
He's not he's a nurse practitioner, but he was uh with the special forces.
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:04.479
Um we're gonna have him on the podcast uh coming soon.
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:09.199
Um but uh I go he's my kind of go-to guy to sort through some of the noise here.
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:11.360
Today we'll sort through a lot of it with Dr.
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:12.400
Trent Nessler.
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:23.520
Um and um uh is a doctor of physical therapy and one of the country's leading voices in injury prevention, movement science, and performance longevity for over two decades.
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:29.199
That's 20 years for you, Gen Zers, if one of you happened upon this old man's podcast.
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:33.759
Uh you didn't tell us we're gonna have to do math.
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:42.719
He's he's worked with everyone from elite athletes to everyday people trying to stay active, pain-free, and strong as they age.
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:47.919
I'd love to talk to you about the pain-free thing because my son recently asked me, You look like you're hurting.
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.479
I go, if I wasn't hurting, I'd think God called me home.
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:54.719
So uh the pain-free heart, but the cold plunge has helped tremendously with that.
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:59.520
He's the founder of one of the nation's largest movement assessment programs, which is what?
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:03.199
It's called the VMove Plus AMI Athletic Movement Index.
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:03.680
Okay.
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:05.439
It's a wearable sensor technology.
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:06.560
Oh, wearable.
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:08.000
Oh, I like that.
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:10.240
Uh and we'll talk about that.
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:12.080
Um, I haven't even introduced you yet.
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:12.240
Yeah.
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:16.800
So for those of you who are wondering who that was, I will tell you in a second.
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:18.639
We're off to a good start on this one.
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:19.519
Fantastic.
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:25.920
We've we've we've kept the ADD people, they're with me, but the but the same people who are focused are gone.
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:28.000
They have gone onto another channel.
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:34.480
Uh, what makes this perspective valuable is he's not just focused on performance, he's focused on sustainability, which is important.
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:34.879
Yeah.
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.920
Um, especially for people over 40 and 50.
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:44.319
And that's the issue I want to talk about because I've I've had this discussion with my wife who's coming up on 65.
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:49.839
Um anyway, who don't want to just live longer but want to feel good doing it, absolutely.
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:50.959
Uh lately, Dr.
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:54.639
Nessler has been at the center of conversations around hormone optimization.
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:56.399
I just had, I will talk about that.
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:58.399
Peptides, love to talk to you about that.
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:01.120
I have no idea what they are, but I I drink them.
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:06.480
Uh recovery tools like red light therapy, cold exposure, uh, what actually cold exposure.
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:07.759
I like the cold plunge.
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:09.600
I don't I don't want to live in the cold weather.
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:12.319
I that's why I I live here.
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:18.879
What actually works versus what's hype, especially for people who feel like their body isn't responding the way it used to.
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:26.000
So whether you're someone who hasn't worked out in years or someone who's done everything right and still feel like you're slowing down, the conversation.
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:28.399
This conversation is for you.
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:29.279
Dr.
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:32.079
Trent Nessler, I'm glad you're here.
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:33.680
Thank you so much for having me.
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.319
Well, you know, you'll you'll say that now.
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:39.040
Uh but uh will you say that in an hour?
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:40.079
Absolutely.
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:41.040
Absolutely.
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:42.240
This is the kind of thing.
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:42.879
Where do you begin?
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:43.600
Where do we begin?
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:44.639
Uh your journey.
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:47.519
Um, you you didn't look like that when you came out of the womb.
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:47.920
No.
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:53.279
So um so I uh I I've always been into fitness uh my whole life.
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.480
Um really started working out around the age of 10.
00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:01.519
Um I'm 57 today and uh still weight train every single day.
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:03.279
Uh train Brazilian jujitsu.
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:05.439
I'm actually a black belt in Brazilian jujitsu.
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:08.000
Uh, I've been training that for about 15 years.
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:14.000
Um and as a physical therapist, you know, early on in my career, I started my career in 1997.
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:22.800
And so as an early physical therapist, even back in those days, I was already talking to patients about nutrition and the importance of nutrition.
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:33.279
Um, I had received a minor in biochemistry, so I got a really intimate understanding of how the chemistry of your body affects all of your body's ability to repair.
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:38.720
And, you know, back in those days, it was kind of like voodoo science, so to speak.
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:45.519
You know, there was not a lot of correlation to, you know, what you're putting in your body and how your body's actually healing.
00:06:46.000 --> 00:07:06.720
Fast forward to today, I think there is no other time in our history where considering this stuff, especially from a regenerative maintaining your fitness uh into your fifth and sixth and seventh decade, there is there's no other time in our lifetime where it's been more important.
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:25.120
Um, just simply because of so many of the chemical changes that have occurred with the American food system and what that's done to the human body and um how when you have an injury, your body really needs certain things to help supplement it, to help it heal in that process.
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:37.360
And with the technologies that we have available today and and some of the uh um nutritional supplements, you know, things like peptides and stem cells um that we have available today.
00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:45.839
Matter of fact, as of I believe it was yesterday, stem cells was actually legalized in the state of Tennessee, which is absolutely amazing.
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:53.199
Well, it's funny because my manager um ripped his ankle up uh gotta be 10 years ago, and he had stem cells.
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:56.959
His Cairo um recommended it heal his ankle right up.
00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:57.279
Yeah.
00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:01.279
I mean, I've and he had tried everything else, you know.
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:08.319
You know, I will tell you, you know, uh again, I've I I've been in this profession for 28 years.
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:14.879
And um what what got me started, just to give you a little bit of a history of like what got me to this point.
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:16.480
Um I was 10 years old.
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:19.199
My father, uh, we were on a family vacation.
00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:28.639
Um my father was involved in uh um an accident um and he broke his neck uh while we were on family vacation in a third world country in 1979.
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:32.960
So it's bad enough to be a third world country, but a third world country in 1979.
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:33.919
California?
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:35.759
Uh it was close.
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:36.960
It was Trinidad.
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:38.159
That's a joke.
00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:38.879
Yeah.
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:40.159
That's a joke.
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:42.639
If you're from California, I was serious.
00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:54.080
Yeah, but it's uh uh but uh what he was able to do, uh this was 1979, he broke his neck, uh he was a C567 spinal cord injury.
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:59.440
And when I got out of PT school, uh it was about 25 years, he'd been in a wheelchair.
00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:06.879
And we put him on a diet, we put him on an exercise program, um, and we did all of these other alternative medicines.
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:13.679
Um, and he went from a wheelchair for 25 years to up and walking with lobster and crutches.
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:14.639
Holy cow.
00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:23.600
And and, you know, at that time, this was again, this is back in the late 90s, early 2000s, you know, he got a lot of there was a lot of publicity around it and things like that.
00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:25.759
We actually wrote up a couple of papers on it.
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:35.200
But what it taught me is what the capability of the human body is when you provide it the right tools to progress along the path.
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:38.639
Um, and I'll I'll I'll bring that forward to today.
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:41.519
Um, I deal with a lot of athletes.
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:52.799
Um, my my clinic is called the Athlete Lab, so we deal primarily with athletes, really anybody who is trying to maintain their physicality and do the things that they want to do.
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:56.000
Um, I also tend to get a lot of special forces guys.
00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:05.679
And I have a uh retired special forces individual who was shot locally, um, got shot in the pelvis, went across his pelvis, and cut across his spinal cord.
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:11.679
So he suffered a uh essentially what's called caudaquinis syndrome or a spinal cord injury.
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:20.799
And the first day he came in the clinic, you know, he had seen his neurologist, he'd been through the VA, he'd been through multiple physicians, and they're like, you know, this is your new norm.
00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:23.919
And he's walking in, he can barely walk at all.
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:29.919
And uh through the course of one year, he was shot in February of last year.
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:33.200
Last week he was running a 720 mile.
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:34.320
720.
00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:35.039
Holy cow.
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:37.679
But we did absolutely everything with him.
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:46.639
We did stem cells with him, we did peptides with him, we did cold plunge with him, we did red light therapy with him, we did what is called BFR blood flow restriction training with him.
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:54.399
Um, blood flow restriction training is the use of a cuff on your limb while you exercise.
00:10:54.639 --> 00:11:00.559
And when you do that, what ends up happening is you create this um oxygen-deprived state in the muscle.
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:07.279
So, what ends up happening is that when you do that, you have this oxygen-deprived state in the muscle, the muscle is recruited more.
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:09.120
So you get more of your quad recruiting.
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:09.840
It's really good.
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:12.639
We use it a lot for like ACL reconstruction, things like that.
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:19.200
People who are having a hard time recruiting their quad because you can you can get good quad recruitment at very low loads.
00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:29.279
So you don't stress the injury, you don't stress the uh surgical site, but yet you create a physiological response as if they're heavy doing heavy resistance training.
00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:35.279
But the real key of what, in my opinion, what BFR does is what it does to you systemically.
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:45.279
So one of the things that blood flow restriction training does is that when you do it for a long enough period of time, is you cause your body to release large amounts of growth hormone and IgF1.
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:47.919
IGF one is really important for bone healing.
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:52.799
So those who have osteoporosis, osteopenia, super important for those.
00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:54.960
Um, but also the growth hormone.
00:11:55.279 --> 00:12:09.120
So if you're feeling, you know, that you're getting weaker, if you feel like you're getting uh you're losing muscle mass as you mature, BFR is an amazing way to help to uh accelerate that, to accelerate the muscle growth.
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:17.600
But the coolest part of the thing is that you're gonna because of the DY uh DIY society we live in.
00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:20.240
Don't take a belt and tie off your quad.
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:20.960
Amen.
00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:27.840
Thank you for saying that because this image of people go, yeah, why should I spend money on that?
00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:29.840
I'll tie off my exactly.
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:33.759
There's a difference between a tourniquet and blood flow restriction training.
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:42.559
You know, uh typically we're going around anywhere from 40 to 60 percent limb occlusion, so versus a tourniquet, which is a hundred percent.
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:45.200
Um and and more is not always better.
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:48.480
Um but the the real key So there's a science behind it.
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:50.879
There's a m a lot of science behind it.
00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:55.519
And and it was really uh it really started back in the 60s.
00:12:55.679 --> 00:13:07.600
Um, you know, you and I are close in age, and and one of the things uh if you remember back in the old days in the muscle and fitness magazine, Arnold Schwarzenegger wrapping things around his biceps and doing bicep curls.
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:09.679
That was the earliest version of BFR.
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:13.840
It actually started back in the 60s with European bodybuilders.
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:20.720
So Franco Columbo, Arnold Schwarzenegger, like all of those big names back in those days, were using early forms of BFR.
00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:32.639
We didn't really, the medical community really did not get an awareness of it uh until a physical therapist at the Center for the Intrepid was dealing with a lot of these Iraq war injuries.
00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:35.679
And he was trying to get people back to theater quicker.
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:49.279
And one of the things that he found is that by applying these principles of blood flow restriction training, what he was able to do is get people back stronger, faster, and back to the theater uh in a in a safer fashion, in a much more expedited fashion.
00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:56.000
So that was really kind of in the the like 2015, 2010, 2015 era.
00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:58.799
So it's still fairly new knowledge.
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:11.200
Um, but as we use it more, we research it more, we see what the systemic effects of BFR are, you can leverage other technologies like your red light therapy, like your cold plunge.
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:20.559
You can leverage things like peptides and things like that that helps to accelerate or accentuate the the recovery piece of it.
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:21.039
Okay.
00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:22.399
Peptides.
00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:27.519
I know that's an end of uh let me back up.
00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:28.000
Yeah.
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:37.360
Um just in my own journey because I might as well while I have you here um for free.
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:38.559
For sure.
00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:40.480
Um get some information.
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:42.480
Um the NAD.
00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:44.879
Yeah, NAD plus drips.
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:45.279
Yep.
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:46.799
Are they a fad?
00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:51.679
So so uh first of all, you have to look at what NAD plus is.
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:57.840
And for every molecule of NAD plus you get five ATP.
00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:01.919
ATP is the energy that the cell runs off of.
00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:14.320
So part of the reason that it gives you energy after you get it is because you're you're essentially superdosing your body with energy or what your cells use as an energy source.
00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:15.519
So is it valid?
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:16.720
Absolutely.
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:29.600
Um and and when you combine it with other things in the equation, so like BFR, when people are doing BFR training, one of the supplements that I recommend is also supplementing NAD plus.
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:33.120
Now, NAD plus can you get it in a pill form or does it have to be in a drip?
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:34.240
Because I I do the drip.
00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:36.159
You can get it in a pill form.
00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:37.840
I actually take it in a pill form.
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:39.840
Um the drips are more intense.
00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:51.840
Um as you know, they're more time consuming because if you go in and you try to do a 60-minute drip in 30 minutes, you're you're gonna not be feeling too well.
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:58.320
No, well then I see it, they do give you some I think it's vitamin B after that, and it makes you it wakes you right.
00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:02.480
Yeah, but yeah, that I I got I the first one I did took an hour and a half.
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:02.720
Yep.
00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:05.440
Second one was an hour and fifteen, and I did an hour.
00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:05.679
Yeah.
00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:07.279
Um and the hour was max.
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:07.759
That's it.
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:10.480
I'm not going any uh any lower than that.
00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:14.320
I mean, it was literally like I got punched multiple times.
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:24.720
Um and as a 70-year-old, you sit there and go, if if this turns out to be a fad, and I'm doing this to Well, you know, here's the thing that I I And it's not cheap.
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:26.639
Yeah, no, it's not, it's very expensive.
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:27.039
Yeah.
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:32.240
Um, you know, you're lucky if you don't spend$250 or more per drip, you know.
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:39.200
So um the the thing is though, is that if you're doing that in isolation, is it worth it?
00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:40.559
Uh I'm not really sure.
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:49.600
Because if the rest of your day uh means that you're consuming, you know, traditional American diet, it's probably not going to do that much for you.
00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:54.000
But if you do that as an adjunct to everything else that you're doing, absolutely.
00:16:54.159 --> 00:17:05.519
When you start talking about things like cold plunge, red light therapy, so you know, for example, when you're doing NAD plus and you do red light therapy, so what does red light therapy do?
00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:11.119
Red light therapy stimulates down in your cell, inside of your cell, it's called the mitochondria.
00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:13.839
The mitochondria is the powerhouse for the cell.
00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:20.559
So when you're stimulating the cell, you're basically getting the mitochondria to turn over protein synthesis faster.
00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:23.519
All that simply means is the cell regenerates faster.
00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:29.759
When a cell regenerates faster, what that means is that the injury, the soft tissue, regenerates faster.
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:41.440
So when you're throwing things like NAD plus into the equation, which provides the cell energy to do the work, and you do the red light therapy in conjunction with that, it's a win-win.
00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:41.680
Yeah.
00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:51.359
You know, so I think where most people um lose, they don't they don't get the full benefit is because they don't do all the things in sequence.
00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:59.279
All the other things that could help, you know, uh result in that NAD plus having the maximal effect that you possibly can.
00:17:59.920 --> 00:18:02.480
Okay, yeah, because I'm down to doing it once a month now.
00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:02.640
Yeah.
00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:08.400
I did the four to load, and then for the last two months I've done I've done the drip.
00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:15.680
And then um my testosterone was at z almost zero.
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:19.119
I mean, it was I I just realized I'm walking around like a zombie.
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:22.000
You know, told my wife, I said, I I don't want to do anything.
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:28.160
I mean, and for the first time in years, I mean, I missed almost two weeks of not hitting the gym.
00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:31.839
And um I finally go, I wonder, you know, it's been a while.
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:32.160
Yeah.
00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:38.079
So I I got my blood test, and she said to me, I've been going to the same lady for 15 years.
00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:40.160
She said, You've never been this low.
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:55.359
Well, you know, and and and and to me, that is um in when when looking at testosterone um and the way that the medical industry looks at testosterone, um, I just read a re uh interesting study not too long ago.
00:18:55.680 --> 00:19:03.200
Back in the 80s, a 60-year-old male who was 500 was considered low.
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:04.000
Right.
00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:06.319
Today, it's 300.
00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:12.240
So what you've seen happen is is testosterone's kind of plotted on a bell curve.
00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:16.880
And if you go, you know, you got your bell curve and in the middle is where everybody should be.
00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:25.519
Your one standard deviation below that, 300, then what ends up happening is that's when you're low and you're considered for testosterone supplementation.
00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:29.200
The problem is that that curve has shifted low.
00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:32.240
And a biggest part of that is what we eat.
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:49.200
So the the foods that we eat today are actually causing suppression of testosterone in men, and the what you're seeing is a whole generation coming up that are much lower T than we were when we were kids because our food was more pure.
00:19:49.599 --> 00:20:02.079
Yeah, my doctor told me that back in the 50s, the average male at 50 years old, 1950s, a 50-year-old male had a testosterone level of between 1800 and 2200.
00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:06.079
And she said now it's like six to eight hundred.
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:08.880
And I was at 375.
00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:09.519
Yeah.
00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:11.039
Uh which explained everything.
00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:11.599
Yeah, yeah.
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:13.200
I mean, it's like uh it really did.
00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:17.759
I mean, and that was a week ago, so I'm starting to get, you know, I hit the gym the last two days.
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:20.079
I'm starting to feel energized again.
00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:24.079
Um and my brain fog is leaving, which is which is great.
00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:24.640
Yeah.
00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:26.720
Uh at 70, I I'm worried.
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:28.319
You know, my grandmother had dementia.
00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:33.839
And um I do understand that they're they're calling dementia diabetes three in Europe.
00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:34.240
Right.
00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:36.400
Um explain a little bit about that.
00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:42.960
Um what what sugar has an effect on um a long-term effect.
00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:49.839
Um is it it's not the sole cause, but yeah, it certainly has gone through the roof.
00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:50.400
It has.
00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:51.920
I mean early onset.
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:53.119
It's very early.
00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:54.160
Early onset.
00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:59.200
I'm I've we have somebody in our small group, she's not even fifty, I think she's fifty-seven.
00:20:59.279 --> 00:20:59.519
Yeah.
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:01.759
And she's been diagnosed with early onset.
00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:02.319
Yeah.
00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:07.039
Um, and and I tell you, you know, uh in in sugar is in everything.
00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:07.359
Yes.
00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:09.440
You know, it it sh catch up.
00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:12.240
I mean, it's it's it's pretty much in everything.
00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:20.559
Uh and um over time, it is um your body's not meant to have that level of sugar.
00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:25.839
Um when it comes to understanding all of the connections to dementia and things like that.
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:30.400
I'm probably not the person to get into a lot of detail with that, with that.
00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:39.680
That being said, um what I've seen is the inflammatory responses from sugar and other substances.
00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:49.359
Um, you know, we have a lot more foods in our system today that are inflammation in nature, causing a lot of gut issues, causing gut inflammation.
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:58.640
Um, and what I see from the from the PT side of things is that when you've got a total knee replacement, for example, that's common in this population.
00:21:58.720 --> 00:22:15.200
Um, when you have a total knee replacement, Knee replacement that the swelling that person has after a total knee replacement, if their diet is junk and they're having gut issues, their swelling not only is it bigger, not only does their knee swell more, but it lasts a lot longer.
00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:23.359
And that has a huge downstream effect on your body's ability to recruit muscle as well as heal.
00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:28.000
You know, when you've got that much inflammation, healing that is is is more difficult.
00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:38.880
So anything that, you know, part of the reason that, you know, when I see clients, um I'm making not only nutritional recommendations, but I'm also making recommendations around peptides.
00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:41.359
I'm making recommendations around all these other things.
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:42.720
Let's get into the peptides.
00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:44.240
First of all, what are they?
00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:46.240
Yeah, they're short chain amino acids.
00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:58.160
You know, that's the, you know, the the probably one of the biggest misconceptions I see around peptides is that people think it's an anabolic steroid because you're injecting it.
00:22:58.319 --> 00:23:00.480
And what people need to understand You inject them?
00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:00.880
You do.
00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:03.920
Oh, I've been taking a powder, collagen peptide.
00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:05.759
So call collagen peptide is good.
00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:07.119
From Sean Ryan.
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:07.759
Yep.
00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:08.640
His show.
00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:11.039
I watched his show and he advertised bubs.
00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:11.519
Yeah.
00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:14.960
So the collagen peptide is good taken orally.
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:19.599
Um the peptides I use are like BPC157, TB500.
00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:22.000
That's the main man, that sounds really cool.
00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:28.079
It well, it's got you know, you you'll even like the what what what everybody calls it is the Wolverine Pack.
00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:35.119
Oh, yeah, because it's it it uh uh I was first introduced to peptides because I deal with a lot of fighters.
00:23:35.200 --> 00:23:44.720
Um, and it's very popular in the fight medicine because what you see is that fighters are going back faster um and recovered to a higher rate.
00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:48.160
And so So it also helps recover from weightlifting?
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:49.599
Weightlifting.
00:23:49.759 --> 00:24:02.160
Uh there's there's another uh cycle that I that I will do with people as they move out of the injury state and they're looking to build more that does a lot with cell regeneration and muscle growth.
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:06.160
Um that's often referred to as the anti-aging stack.
00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:10.400
So there's there's different stacks depending on what you're trying to accomplish.
00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:14.640
For me in my setting, I'm always trying to accomplish one of two things.
00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:21.759
Number one, recovery from an injury or moving them to the next step and really pushing performance enhancement.
00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:29.440
Um, and what I what I will tell you is that the the misconception about peptides is that it's an anabolic steroid.
00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:37.359
And the difference between peptides and anabolic steroid is your body goes from uh through a chemical reaction to create testosterone.
00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:42.720
And it goes from A chemical A plus chemical B to equal to testosterone.
00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:48.160
And what anabolic steroids do is they bypass that chemical reaction and provide you the end product.
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:55.920
So what ends up happening is that your body senses that and it starts to shut down these chemical reactions because you're artificially supplying it.
00:24:56.400 --> 00:25:02.799
What peptides do is they actually give the building blocks so that A can go plus B to testosterone.
00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:03.920
So you're you're supplementing.
00:25:05.200 --> 00:25:05.599
Correct.
00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:10.160
You're supplementing the chemical reaction to get you to your end product.
00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:24.240
That's the biggest difference between, in my opinion, between uh peptides and anabolics because you don't mess up the body's ability to naturally uh create the hormone.
00:25:24.559 --> 00:25:32.240
And uh what what what I see is a significant improvement in outcomes.
00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:34.160
You know, I'll just give you a perfect example.
00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:40.960
One of the one of the main injuries I see uh in my practice is ACL injuries, interior crochet ligament injuries.
00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:44.400
Just watch any NFL season, you'll have multiple of them.
00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:48.960
Um and that's typically nine to 12 months to get back to sport.
00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:57.519
And I've had I've had uh ACL, PCL, LCL that's gotten back to uh professional fighting at seven months.
00:25:57.680 --> 00:26:03.680
I've had total knee dislocations, which is your ACL, PCL, LCL, MCL, and your hamstring ruptured.
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:05.599
And he was back on the mats in one year.
00:26:05.680 --> 00:26:06.799
It's unheard of.
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:27.680
And in in my in my experience in 28 years of practice, I've never seen the level of outcomes that we're able to have today when you consider all of the different uh chemical aspects of it, the biochemistry of healing combined with technology, combined with the right therapeutic uh.
00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:31.519
And these are all young um bodies as well, right?
00:26:31.839 --> 00:26:33.599
No, uh not not all of them.
00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:44.160
So because I'm I'm 57 um and I'm a black belt, um, I get a lot of guys who are training jujitsu in their 40s and 50s who are like, how do I keep going?
00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:45.680
Because it's it's rough on your body.
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:48.880
I mean, it is a very rough sport, to say the least.
00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:52.480
Not encouraging anybody over 50 to try try to start training.
00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:54.960
You know, I like banging my head against the wall.
00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:55.599
Exactly.
00:26:56.160 --> 00:26:56.480
Exactly.
00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:00.319
You know, how do I how do I keep doing that without hurting myself?
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:20.000
Pretty much, you know, so so uh a large part of the population I deal with are those really in their mid 40s to you know mid to late 50s, you know, and trying to help them maintain their physicality, um, their power, their strength, their endurance, um, as they're you know, competing at the end of the day.
00:27:20.160 --> 00:27:27.839
Yeah, because I can just vouch a knowing my 50 was where everything just started falling apart.
00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:28.240
Yeah.
00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:31.680
We were talking off air, and uh, I was trying to take a golf lesson.
00:27:31.759 --> 00:27:34.640
I was taking a golf lesson one day, and the guy goes, What are you trying to do?
00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:38.480
And I told him, he goes, You physically cannot do what you're trying to do.
00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:39.440
Hey, what do you mean?
00:27:39.599 --> 00:27:40.319
He goes, You can't.
00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:44.240
You're you're not flexible enough, you're not strong enough, your core isn't, you know.
00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:45.680
Yeah, he went down the whole line.
00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:45.920
Yeah.
00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:48.240
He said, You know, you a lot of this is glutes.
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:48.960
He goes, Yep.
00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:50.559
When's the last time you did a squat?
00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:51.279
I go, What?
00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:51.759
I don't know.
00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:52.799
What's a squat?
00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:54.160
Yeah, what's a squat?
00:27:54.400 --> 00:27:58.000
You know, and uh I started maybe at 55.
00:27:58.079 --> 00:28:02.240
Yeah, really, um, just figured I might and you know, I was always a runner, yeah.
00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:04.480
Um, which is why I've had both hips replaced.
00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:06.400
But I was always a runner.
00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:16.720
Um, and uh I felt that with with the alcohol and the drugs I was doing in my uh in my youth, if I sweat, I was at least getting rid of the poison.
00:28:16.880 --> 00:28:26.480
That's I you know naively thought if I could continue to do what I was doing as long as I if I ran eight miles, I would then I could just kill myself at night and then run eight miles the next day, you know.
00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:27.440
And be feeling good.
00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:31.759
Yeah, it it you know in your twenties and thirties that works that works, you know.
00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:37.200
But then all of a sudden, you know, you're you're six miles, four miles, three miles, two, and I God it hurts.
00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:50.319
You know um and um again, I was into uh I remember uh colon cleanses were big back in my 30s.
00:28:50.400 --> 00:29:03.200
I remember um me and a couple of other comics were were at the GNC buying uh, you know, stuff, which is interesting because now I just got cleared for life from colonoscopies.
00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:11.359
So whatever I did in my 30s, uh cleansing my body out, you know, um uh it must have done something.
00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:11.839
Yeah.
00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:14.880
And um my shoulder tore.
00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:26.400
I just went through uh a year and a half ago, and I've have not really gotten back to where I was um uh in the gym because of that frightens me.
00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:26.880
Sure.
00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:28.480
I've had both hips replaced.
00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:32.160
The second one the physical therapist told me.
00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:37.119
I mean, I I I leading up to my surgery, I was doing 500 body squats a week.
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:42.160
And when I got into PT, he goes, You're so far ahead of our protocol.
00:29:42.400 --> 00:29:43.920
We and we're not allowed to move ahead.
00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:44.400
Yeah.
00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:46.799
So there's nothing I can do for you, really.
00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:49.279
Just you know, so I was hitting golf balls like in four days.
00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:50.960
I mean, it was amazing.
00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:51.279
Yeah.
00:29:51.440 --> 00:29:52.240
Uh the second hip.
00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:56.960
The first hip, they cut into the muscle, and it took weeks, months to get that.
00:29:57.519 --> 00:30:00.960
It's been a lot of progression of the the types of surgeries that they do too.
00:30:01.119 --> 00:30:01.359
Right.
00:30:01.519 --> 00:30:02.880
So a lot less trauma.
00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:06.160
Yeah, but the shoulder is a completely different animal.
00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:08.720
I mean, it it scares me to rip those again.
00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:18.480
So I'm doing I hired a trainer online, um he's a golf fitness guy, but I told him, I said, I just want stability in my shoulders.
00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:20.720
So it's a lot of bandwidth, you know.
00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:23.440
And it's funny, I go to the gym now, I see guys doing it.
00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:26.799
All the bands, I go, shoulder shirt, yeah, labrum, you know.
00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:41.440
Uh speak on uh coming back from injuries and um obviously if you're going to a physical therapist, they're gonna walk you through the right areas.
00:30:42.079 --> 00:30:49.839
Uh people like me who get you know got away from you know, obviously you you run your 30 days or whatever they give you, you know, and then you're you're on your own.
00:30:50.480 --> 00:30:57.839
Uh traditionally for me, because I'm a I'm an addict and I'm an idiot, I always pushed everything too hard.
00:30:58.000 --> 00:31:01.440
I've always thought, well, if I was to do that PFR whatever.
00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:04.319
Oh yeah, I would well let's let's go tourniquet.
00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:04.960
You know, let's go.
00:31:05.279 --> 00:31:06.960
As long as my limb is turning blue, I'm doing good.
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:12.400
Yeah, if 70% is great, I used to do the joke, I take five a leave.
00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:14.160
You know, uh, you know, who takes two?
00:31:14.480 --> 00:31:16.880
You know, sure my stomach burns, but my knees don't hurt.
00:31:16.960 --> 00:31:17.119
Yeah.
00:31:17.839 --> 00:31:27.519
Well, and it's funny because uh the particular BFR cuff uh that I use, um, I actually was on the medical board for as we were developing it.
00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:39.759
And one of the things that was important to me is that I have a cuff that does not fully occlude for that exact reason, because most of the people that I deal with choke each other, punch each other.
00:31:39.920 --> 00:31:42.400
So they're gonna be in the exact same situation.
00:31:42.640 --> 00:31:47.599
They're gonna be, you know, if if 60% is good, if my limb is turning blue, it's even better.
00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:50.960
And that's not the case because you can you can actually create a lot of damage to the city.
00:31:51.119 --> 00:31:52.640
Well, that's like the cold plunge, you know.
00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:57.359
Initially, you know, I set it at 50 and then I got down to 45.
00:31:57.839 --> 00:31:59.519
And I see the progression.
00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:03.920
So I started researching does is cold or necessarily better.
00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:08.480
And then they talked about, yeah, hypothermia will enter at you know, at 10 minutes.
00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:10.240
You get to 10 or 12.
00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:12.559
I noticed you said you do 10-minute cold plunges.
00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:14.160
I I can keep it at six.
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:16.400
Yeah, six, eight at 50 degrees.
00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:20.480
Uh I went back up to 50 figuring, well, am I do you get better?
00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:22.240
I mean, if if I can get to 38.
00:32:22.559 --> 00:32:25.599
Yeah, you know, it really depends on what you're looking for.
00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:28.000
You know, um inflammation reduction.
00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:37.920
Yeah, there's there's a lot of uh research out there about, you know, um doing cold plunges after you work out, you know, and what that does to your gains that you get during working out.
00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:46.960
I think I shared with you, you know, um, for me, after a hard jujitsu training session, you know, sometimes I feel like somebody just took a bat to my body.
00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:50.400
And um my cold plunge sits at 39 degrees.
00:32:50.559 --> 00:32:52.240
Um, it does circulate.
00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:56.000
And uh typically I'm trying to get people in there for about six to eight minutes.
00:32:56.079 --> 00:32:58.319
And the reason that I'm doing that is twofold.
00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:01.599
Number one is a vagal nerve reset.
00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:05.119
The vagal nerve, it's the longest, yeah, it's the longest nerve in your body.
00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:13.599
It goes from your brain down to your feet, has connections to your heart, has connections to your lungs or to your um uh kidneys and your liver.
00:33:13.839 --> 00:33:20.880
So it has a direct effect on uh connecting your brain to your heart rate, to hormone release and things like that.
00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:24.960
So when it's overstimulated, that's uh a response to stress.
00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:35.359
Now, whether that's physical stress from an injury or that's emotional stress from work or trauma or whatever, a lot of people come in with that nerve overstimulated.
00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:44.319
So part of my goal when I do a cold plunge with somebody is to really walk them through the breathing process so that they can control their body.
00:33:44.640 --> 00:33:49.200
So it at that at that temperature, it's hard to control shivering.
00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:56.240
And the techniques that we teach people to do when they get into the cold plunge really helps them to control that shivering.
00:33:56.480 --> 00:34:05.839
And then the second piece of that is by taking them in there to that six to eight minute time frame, what we're doing is we're getting a release of what's called a P3 protein.
00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:10.079
Now, P3 protein is typically only released when your body thinks it's gonna die.
00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:15.760
You're not gonna die in there, but we're stimulating the body to think the first 30 seconds you feel like it.
00:34:16.079 --> 00:34:18.480
Well, the first three minutes you may feel like it.
00:34:18.800 --> 00:34:29.920
But the idea is to get the body to release that because then what we're gonna do is we're gonna put you on the bike and we're gonna flood your body as well by using VFR with growth hormone and IgF1.
00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:43.199
So there's a lot of times that I'm using these things to create a certain chemical response so that I can enhance that with the next chemical response, and then enhance that with the next technology I'm gonna use.
00:34:43.599 --> 00:34:56.159
So, for example, I have somebody do a cold plunge, we put them on the bike, we warm them back up, we flood their body with growth hormone, IG of one with the BFR, and then I take and I use class four laser on them.
00:34:56.320 --> 00:35:00.559
So class four laser is really effective at helping soft tissue healing.
00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:06.800
It's a form of red light, so it works the same at the mitochondrial level, but it's much more intense.
00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:14.800
So, this, I could not sit a class four laser on your shoulder and laser it and not move it because it would burn.
00:35:14.960 --> 00:35:17.119
So you have to keep it moving as you go.
00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:32.239
But the idea is that we're we're creating this chemical uh uh environment to optimize that when I stimulate your cell to regenerate at a faster pace, it's in this chemical environment that is enhanced for that to occur.
00:35:32.400 --> 00:35:37.920
And that's really where peptides and stem cells and all of that really kind of fit into the equation.
00:35:38.159 --> 00:35:50.239
Because what I found in healthcare is you have your stem cell silo, you have your peptide silo, you have your PT silo, you have your nutrition silo, and none of these ever communicate together.
00:35:50.480 --> 00:36:13.599
And one of the things that I have found is where they're true, the the best, exponentially greater outcomes come from is that when you bring all of these things together and uh use a mindset of how am I doing how am I using this cold plunge to enhance the next thing I'm gonna do, and how do I use that to enhance the next thing I'm gonna do?
00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:16.800
Because that to me, that's where the real gold nuggets at.
00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:23.920
Well, it's interesting because the first time I did the combination, um I remember driving to back to the hotel.
00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:24.639
I was on the road.
00:36:24.719 --> 00:36:34.880
I had heard about when I was in Montana, we would go into the the the natural baths and then I would do the cold, you know, and um found that fascinating.
00:36:35.119 --> 00:36:45.039
Um just to come out of a hundred and three degree mineral bath and then sit in uh 45 degree uh water.
00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:50.400
And uh when I told my wife I was gonna get one when I got home, I was gonna buy a coal plunge.
00:36:50.559 --> 00:36:51.440
And she said, why?
00:36:51.599 --> 00:36:53.519
And I go, you know, that's a great question.
00:36:53.760 --> 00:36:54.239
I don't know.
00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:55.280
So I did a little research.
00:36:55.360 --> 00:36:56.719
They talked about the brown fat.
00:36:57.199 --> 00:36:57.519
Yep.
00:36:57.920 --> 00:37:01.920
Um uh and but I I did read about you want to sit up here, you know.
00:37:02.079 --> 00:37:07.840
So I I wanted to make sure that my Nordic Wave, uh Jeff 150, save 150 bucks.
00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:13.199
Uh Nordic Wave uh was deep enough to to cover uh to cover that.
00:37:13.360 --> 00:37:26.639
And again, it's a it's uh there's a uh a chiller machine that that rotates the water, and and I can set it I think 38 is as low as it goes, and go up to 100 whatever if I wanted to, you know.
00:37:26.719 --> 00:37:29.119
My wife goes, Yeah, well, you get it up to about 95.
00:37:29.360 --> 00:37:30.480
She goes, I'll sit in it.
00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:37.199
My favorite thing she does, she'll walk by and she'll take the water and splash her wrist and go, I feel it, I feel it's better already.
00:37:38.400 --> 00:37:38.719
That's it.
00:37:38.960 --> 00:37:42.559
Yeah, it's so funny though, but uh it is, it's either you love it or hate it.
00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:47.280
I mean, it's not something you would uh normally want to do.
00:37:47.599 --> 00:37:47.760
No.
00:37:48.000 --> 00:37:51.519
So there has to be a a long-term benefit.
00:37:51.679 --> 00:37:55.920
Um again, driving back to the hotel that day after doing the combination.
00:37:56.079 --> 00:37:59.760
Yeah, I called my wife and said, a man my age shouldn't feel this good.
00:37:59.840 --> 00:38:00.159
Yeah.
00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:01.840
I felt amazing.
00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:02.320
Yeah.
00:38:02.559 --> 00:38:05.119
And when I'm home, and I have I have both now.
00:38:05.199 --> 00:38:10.960
I have the infrared, I have the red light, and I have the um uh cold plunge on on my deck.
00:38:11.280 --> 00:38:13.440
Um infrared.
00:38:13.599 --> 00:38:15.840
Now I've been reading this again.
00:38:15.920 --> 00:38:19.119
This is stuff that you don't know if it's a fat, it's the noise on the internet.
00:38:19.599 --> 00:38:20.079
For sure.
00:38:20.400 --> 00:38:27.519
It your toxins, sure, it releases them, but they get stuck in your liver, so you need some kind of supplement to clinch.
00:38:27.920 --> 00:38:30.239
Now I do the glutathione at the drip.
00:38:30.639 --> 00:38:33.920
I get the glutathione drips, which is supposed to help cleanse the liver.
00:38:34.159 --> 00:38:40.800
Um, is there something to that when you do infrared that it's not necessarily detoxifying?
00:38:41.199 --> 00:38:51.119
You know, I I I um one of the biggest mistakes when it comes to red light, not necessarily related to toxins, is um how it's put into the equation.
00:38:51.440 --> 00:38:52.480
I'm talking about infrared.
00:38:52.559 --> 00:38:52.800
Yeah.
00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:52.960
Yeah.
00:38:53.360 --> 00:38:54.000
That's the same thing?
00:38:54.159 --> 00:38:54.320
Yeah.
00:38:54.400 --> 00:38:57.039
So infrared, red light therapy, it's all the same.
00:38:57.280 --> 00:39:01.119
Class four laser is a version of red light that's much more intense.
00:39:01.360 --> 00:39:05.920
So, like the particular bed that I have, it looks like a suntanning bed.
00:39:06.079 --> 00:39:08.159
Um, it has four different wavelengths to it.
00:39:08.239 --> 00:39:10.880
So it goes from skin all the way down to deep tissue.
00:39:11.039 --> 00:39:14.559
Um, most places you go, they put you on a table and put a panel over the top of you.
00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:18.960
It would take you about 30 visits of a panel to equate to one of these beds.
00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:28.719
And um, what I see is there's a lot of recovery places out there where people will do red light, uh red light panel, and then they go into the cold plunge.
00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:36.880
The problem with that is is that what you're doing with the red light therapy is you're stimulating the cells to be more active.
00:39:37.039 --> 00:39:41.280
And you're stimulating them to be more active and to regenerate at a faster pace.
00:39:41.440 --> 00:39:45.280
And as soon as you jump into a cold plunge, you shut that off.
00:39:45.519 --> 00:39:45.840
Okay.
00:39:46.079 --> 00:39:49.519
So typically what I do is I have people go cold plunge, then red light.
00:39:49.760 --> 00:39:50.800
Well, see, that's what I do at home.
00:39:51.039 --> 00:39:55.599
Well, I actually go cold plunge shower and then red light.
00:39:55.840 --> 00:39:55.920
Yeah.
00:39:56.000 --> 00:39:56.079
Yeah.
00:39:56.159 --> 00:39:57.039
And that's kind of like that.
00:39:57.440 --> 00:39:59.119
And that's yeah, and that's perfect.
00:39:59.440 --> 00:40:02.559
Because, you know, in in that sequence, that's the right button.
00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:03.840
And we have a half a panel.
00:40:03.920 --> 00:40:05.039
We have a of red light.
00:40:05.199 --> 00:40:05.920
It's a it's a good one.
00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:06.960
I mean, I think it is.
00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:08.960
It's platinum LED.
00:40:09.519 --> 00:40:10.320
Yeah, those are great.
00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:20.079
And you know, I'll tell you, you know, where I see the the biggest mistakes is, you know, because there's there's contrast, which you were talking about earlier, going from heat to cold.
00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:21.199
That's great.
00:40:21.360 --> 00:40:22.880
Um, it helps with circulation.
00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:24.480
There's a lot of things that that helps with.
00:40:24.559 --> 00:40:37.199
And we've been using that um quite honestly in physical therapy ever since I've been a physical therapist, um, where we would take athletes and you would do contrast with them and it makes them feel better because it helps circulation, helps inflammation, all that good stuff.
00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:46.000
But when it comes to red light specifically, red light therapy and cold plunge, the seat, the sequence at which you do it matters.
00:40:46.159 --> 00:40:54.320
It's always got to be the cold plunge first because red light therapy, this is what I always tell my patients, you're gonna get a benefit for this from the for the next 12 hours.
00:40:54.400 --> 00:40:56.159
It's gonna peak at 12 hours.
00:40:56.320 --> 00:40:59.599
So I tell them, you know, especially if I'm seeing them after an injury, I don't know.
00:40:59.920 --> 00:41:01.199
How long is that?
00:41:01.360 --> 00:41:02.480
I do about 15 minutes.
00:41:02.719 --> 00:41:02.800
Yeah.
00:41:03.280 --> 00:41:04.079
15 minutes is good.
00:41:04.239 --> 00:41:04.480
Okay.
00:41:04.639 --> 00:41:10.400
Um, you know, it um in and I even do I even do 20 minute sessions with a vagal nerve reset.
00:41:10.559 --> 00:41:13.039
So we actually have So that's the cold plunge.
00:41:13.280 --> 00:41:14.639
No, it's uh it's different.
00:41:14.719 --> 00:41:22.800
Uh we take two electrodes, we stick them up to the cervical spine, we put two electrodes on their feet, um, and we run a certain current through their body.
00:41:22.880 --> 00:41:24.000
So it's a stimulation.
00:41:24.480 --> 00:41:26.239
Yeah, but it's it's not bad.
00:41:26.400 --> 00:41:28.800
It doesn't feel it doesn't feel hurtful.
00:41:28.960 --> 00:41:29.920
It's comfortable.
00:41:30.239 --> 00:41:32.880
Um, and then we put them in a red light therapy bed for 20 minutes.
00:41:33.280 --> 00:41:38.320
Nice image of Frankenstein with the with the nut with the bolts sticking out connecting a couple wires.
00:41:38.719 --> 00:41:39.119
Exactly.
00:41:43.360 --> 00:41:43.760
You know.
00:41:44.800 --> 00:41:46.719
So we we we do the uh more bolts.
00:41:46.800 --> 00:41:47.119
Yeah, exactly.
00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:48.000
More volts.
00:41:48.719 --> 00:41:55.039
We do it just below uh muscular contraction, so you can feel it, but it's not actually causing you to contract.
00:41:55.119 --> 00:42:00.880
We do the red light therapy bed for 20 minutes, um, and then what we do is we pump uh spa music in there.
00:42:01.039 --> 00:42:02.559
So it's very relaxing.
00:42:02.719 --> 00:42:05.760
Um, and that has been absolutely amazing.
00:42:05.840 --> 00:42:10.960
I've I've had a couple of athletes who had vagal nerve uh overstimulation.
00:42:11.119 --> 00:42:13.119
It looks almost like a concussion.
00:42:13.280 --> 00:42:21.119
You know, there's there's uh you know, vase, their uh pupils are dilated, they are having a hard time responding, hard time with memory.
00:42:21.280 --> 00:42:23.760
It very much presents like a concussion.
00:42:23.840 --> 00:42:31.360
Um and I've had athletes that do as little as two sessions, 20 minutes each bout, and it makes a significant change.
00:42:31.679 --> 00:42:37.039
Pupils return to normal, they're able to answer questions, they actually are able to sleep again.
00:42:37.199 --> 00:42:44.400
You know, one of the beauties of red light therapy that I didn't know at the time when I first started doing this is the impact on sleep.
00:42:44.480 --> 00:42:47.360
Um, we have all of our athletes, I'm a data geek.
00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:50.480
Um, we have all of our athletes track their data through Whoop.
00:42:50.880 --> 00:42:59.519
Um, and what we have seen on the average is about a 24-minute increase in REM sleep uh with consistent use of red light therapy.
00:42:59.679 --> 00:43:01.199
Yeah, because that's where you heal.
00:43:01.360 --> 00:43:01.599
Yeah.
00:43:01.760 --> 00:43:02.559
It's where you heal.
00:43:02.719 --> 00:43:12.559
So it's you know, the these technologies that are out there um and all the different things that we have available to us today are, in my opinion, game changing.
00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:20.000
Because had I had this available when I was fifty, I think I'd be a much better place than I am today.
00:43:20.320 --> 00:43:31.760
But it's never too late, you know, because you can that's what I wanted to talk to you about because uh to speak to the person who's who's where I was when I was fifty-five.
00:43:32.000 --> 00:43:34.559
I mean, I really I was depressed.
00:43:34.800 --> 00:43:39.199
Um, I was always an athlete um and active.
00:43:39.840 --> 00:43:42.559
And now I'm at a point where I don't want to do anything.
00:43:42.639 --> 00:43:48.400
I I don't want to run anymore, I don't wanna I don't wanna have sex anymore, I don't wanna do anything anymore.
00:43:49.199 --> 00:43:56.400
Um and what changed for me was I I started doing uh I think it was Beach Body.
00:43:56.480 --> 00:43:56.639
Yeah.
00:43:56.800 --> 00:43:58.880
I I saw the ad for P ninety X.
00:43:59.039 --> 00:44:01.599
I said All right, well, I'll give it a shot.
00:44:01.760 --> 00:44:02.639
I mean, it was brutal.
00:44:02.800 --> 00:44:03.039
Yeah.
00:44:03.199 --> 00:44:06.719
You know, I was doing quarter tapes, I was doing, you know, but I started.
00:44:06.800 --> 00:44:07.119
Yep.
00:44:07.280 --> 00:44:08.559
That's what I did right.
00:44:08.719 --> 00:44:08.960
Yep.
00:44:09.119 --> 00:44:09.679
I started.
00:44:09.840 --> 00:44:14.079
I started moving and not necessarily properly, but I started moving.
00:44:14.239 --> 00:44:16.000
And that led into other things.
00:44:16.159 --> 00:44:16.639
Yep.
00:44:16.800 --> 00:44:20.400
Um, so there's somebody listening to this, man.
00:44:20.480 --> 00:44:21.199
It's just right there.
00:44:21.280 --> 00:44:22.400
They don't want to get off the couch.
00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:25.519
They're they got a bag of Doritos in their lap right now.
00:44:25.840 --> 00:44:29.039
Um the the biggest thing is do something.
00:44:29.280 --> 00:44:31.599
You know, um Walking is huge, isn't it?
00:44:31.840 --> 00:44:32.960
Walking is huge.
00:44:33.119 --> 00:44:37.599
Um something as simple as making sure you're hydrated enough.
00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:41.920
Um, because as we mature, that's my nice way of saying getting older.
00:44:42.559 --> 00:44:43.519
As we as we mature.
00:44:43.920 --> 00:44:44.480
As we season.
00:44:44.719 --> 00:44:50.960
Yeah, as we season, uh it as we as we mature, we see a big change in hydration.
00:44:51.039 --> 00:45:00.239
It's one of the reasons that people will will say they lose height because the discs between your vertebrae are losing hydration and they're starting to collapse.
00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:04.239
You know, it's why women lose, uh, they say that their feet grow.
00:45:04.400 --> 00:45:06.480
Their feet don't grow, their arch collapses.
00:45:06.639 --> 00:45:07.599
Why is it collapse?
00:45:07.840 --> 00:45:14.960
Because the tissue of the plantar fascia is becoming dehydrated and it's stretching out, it's allowing their arch to collapse.
00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:15.360
Wow.
00:45:15.599 --> 00:45:18.800
So so hydration is super important.
00:45:19.199 --> 00:45:24.079
It is, it has a direct effect on your mobility and your flexibility.
00:45:24.159 --> 00:45:36.480
It has direct effect on collagen of your hip joint, has direct effect on the uh flexibility of the fascia in your body, something that we don't normally talk about, but fascia.
00:45:36.639 --> 00:45:39.360
Fascia is one of the first structures to dry out.
00:45:39.519 --> 00:45:45.119
And if you've ever put peeled a steak away from a bone, you see that white fibrous tissue, that's fascia.
00:45:45.280 --> 00:45:50.719
You have that through all out through your body, and it's a lot thicker than you might think that it is.
00:45:51.039 --> 00:45:57.039
Now, the formula I heard was an ounce uh for every uh every two pounds of body weight.
00:45:57.280 --> 00:46:00.239
So if you're 200 pounds, 100 ounces a day, that's minimal.
00:46:00.639 --> 00:46:00.880
Yeah.
00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:01.119
Yeah.
00:46:01.199 --> 00:46:04.239
And for me, I'm drinking about a gallon and a half a day.
00:46:04.320 --> 00:46:06.320
Um, I'm about 205-ish.
00:46:06.880 --> 00:46:10.800
Um, that being said, it also depends on your activity level.
00:46:11.039 --> 00:46:11.199
Right.
00:46:11.440 --> 00:46:14.400
Um also there's a lot of other factors that feed into it.
00:46:14.559 --> 00:46:23.360
So, you know, what I always tell people is the very best litmus test that you can have for your hydration is what does it look like when you pee?
00:46:23.679 --> 00:46:30.800
The color and the odor of your urine in the absence of asparagus, in the absence of vitamin packs, it should be odorless and colorless.
00:46:30.880 --> 00:46:32.639
It should be relatively odorless.
00:46:32.880 --> 00:46:40.000
You can Google urine chart, and on the urine chart, if you're three or above, you're doing good.
00:46:40.239 --> 00:46:47.440
But at four and below, you already start having an effect on the rate at which chemical reactions occur in your body.
00:46:47.679 --> 00:46:59.519
And the reason that that's important is because if you're affecting the rate at which chemical reactions occur, that means that when you go and you work out and you tear down muscle, it's not going to recover as fast.
00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:10.079
It means when you fall, that bruise is not going to heal as fast because you're not preparing your body chemically and optimizing it so that it can repair itself.
00:47:10.719 --> 00:47:11.280
Wow.
00:47:11.519 --> 00:47:18.000
Yeah, and uh the the interesting thing is that you know, obviously at my age, you know, I pee enough.
00:47:18.079 --> 00:47:18.239
Yeah.
00:47:18.400 --> 00:47:26.480
You know, but that was one of the things we always I I collapsed on an airplane coming from um uh Cancun.
00:47:26.719 --> 00:47:28.400
I was down there, I wouldn't drink any water.
00:47:28.480 --> 00:47:30.000
Yeah, I wouldn't even drink the bottled water.
00:47:30.079 --> 00:47:32.800
I said, out or in the back to putting it on a tap.
00:47:33.119 --> 00:47:37.119
Yeah, you know, so yeah, that was that was we call it my fake heart attack.
00:47:37.199 --> 00:47:37.360
Yeah.
00:47:37.519 --> 00:47:47.679
I collapsed on an airplane, and thank God we were in separate seats, and uh right before we got on the plane, I walked over and said, Are there any first class seats open?
00:47:47.760 --> 00:47:49.199
I'd like to bump my wife and I up.
00:47:49.360 --> 00:47:51.840
And they said, We have to save my life.
00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:53.440
Um, she was there next to me.
00:47:53.519 --> 00:47:53.920
Oh, that's it.
00:47:54.079 --> 00:47:58.960
Otherwise, they would have looked at me and thought some old man just collapsed because he partied too hard or whatever.
00:47:59.199 --> 00:48:00.639
And the issue was dehydrate.
00:48:00.800 --> 00:48:06.000
I mean, we didn't know when I get to the uh hospital, they they reroute the plane, I wind up in New Orleans.
00:48:06.480 --> 00:48:08.079
Very funny story.
00:48:08.320 --> 00:48:10.960
Um they pump me full of electrolytes or whatever.
00:48:11.039 --> 00:48:12.639
So next day I'm feeling pretty pretty good.
00:48:12.880 --> 00:48:14.159
I'm in the heart ward.
00:48:14.480 --> 00:48:18.800
A woman walks in, lab coat, sticks her thumb in my neck, and says, You need a pacemaker.
00:48:18.880 --> 00:48:21.360
And I go, You can tell that by sticking your thumb in my neck.
00:48:21.440 --> 00:48:23.599
And she goes, It's called the carotid artery test.
00:48:23.679 --> 00:48:27.599
Your heart starts up slow, which means you need something to regulate your heartbeat.
00:48:27.679 --> 00:48:31.119
And I go, I'll tell you what, man, why don't you give my wife and I a second?
00:48:31.280 --> 00:48:31.440
Yeah.
00:48:31.679 --> 00:48:34.639
And I said, Go check and see if she's even a doctor.
00:48:34.719 --> 00:48:36.079
She could have escaped from the cycle.
00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:36.639
Exactly.
00:48:36.800 --> 00:48:38.480
I've seen it in movies, you know, where's Edna?
00:48:38.639 --> 00:48:38.880
Huh?
00:48:38.960 --> 00:48:40.000
She's back in the hot heart.
00:48:40.639 --> 00:48:43.920
She's sticking thumbs and telling people to eat basement.
00:48:44.159 --> 00:48:44.719
I'm not kidding.
00:48:44.960 --> 00:48:45.440
That's hilarious.
00:48:45.599 --> 00:48:48.559
So, anyway, um, she doesn't even clear me to fly.
00:48:48.639 --> 00:48:51.360
I had a drive back from New Orleans with my wife.
00:48:51.440 --> 00:48:54.880
She said, she told Tammy, your husband could drop that any second.
00:48:55.199 --> 00:48:57.519
See, that is absolutely tragic to me.
00:48:57.760 --> 00:49:04.800
Well, it was and then I I I a friend of mine um uh fortunately had a heart attack outside of church.
00:49:04.960 --> 00:49:06.000
There was a doctor there.
00:49:06.159 --> 00:49:08.000
They said, you know, basically, you know, he saved his life.
00:49:08.079 --> 00:49:10.320
Anyway, I call him, I said, Who's your heart doctor?
00:49:10.559 --> 00:49:11.840
He had one, I think it was at St.
00:49:12.000 --> 00:49:12.320
Thomas.
00:49:12.559 --> 00:49:14.000
So anyway, I make an appointment.
00:49:14.159 --> 00:49:14.400
Yep.
00:49:14.559 --> 00:49:16.960
So I do all the tests, I mean, stress test, everything.
00:49:17.039 --> 00:49:19.199
And at that point, I was in pretty good shape.
00:49:19.440 --> 00:49:21.840
So I'm I'm up here and I'm walking.
00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:24.400
Tammy walks in at one point and says, How's my boy doing?
00:49:24.559 --> 00:49:26.239
She goes, Hello, live us all.
00:49:26.480 --> 00:49:30.159
Anyway, he looked at me and said, Who told you you needed a pacemaker?
00:49:30.239 --> 00:49:33.440
And I said, The doctor down at Oshner in New Orleans.
00:49:33.599 --> 00:49:34.480
And he said, Really?
00:49:34.559 --> 00:49:36.639
And I go, Yeah, he goes, Wow.
00:49:36.880 --> 00:49:41.039
Prior to Katrina, Oshner was one of the top five hard hospitals in the world.
00:49:41.280 --> 00:49:41.519
Wow.
00:49:41.760 --> 00:49:43.840
He said, I'll bet you they need money.
00:49:44.079 --> 00:49:45.599
That should frighten everybody.
00:49:46.079 --> 00:49:52.800
You wonder how many homeless people are walking around with govern you know, the taxpayer-funded pacemakers and stuff.
00:49:52.960 --> 00:49:54.719
I mean, it really, you think about it.
00:49:54.960 --> 00:49:58.239
For her to do that, you talk about irresponsible.
00:49:58.320 --> 00:50:02.320
Um, and there's no other way to explain it than than money.
00:50:02.559 --> 00:50:16.480
So the experts, and that's again what I'm talking about, sharing getting through the noise on the internet, um, especially when it comes to bodybuilding, um, I got tired of looking for answers.
00:50:16.800 --> 00:50:17.440
I really did.
00:50:17.599 --> 00:50:19.119
I mean, because there's such conflict.
00:50:19.199 --> 00:50:23.119
No, this is the way you you lift your you know your weights or whatever.
00:50:23.440 --> 00:50:26.880
At 70 years old now, I'm looking for quality of life.
00:50:27.119 --> 00:50:27.599
For sure.
00:50:27.840 --> 00:50:32.320
And um and there is a vanity part of it, I'm not gonna lie.
00:50:32.719 --> 00:50:33.440
I want to look good.
00:50:33.599 --> 00:50:36.559
I'm in a business that requires vanity.
00:50:36.800 --> 00:50:40.880
Not saying that slovenly overweight comedians haven't succeeded.
00:50:41.119 --> 00:50:41.519
Right.
00:50:42.239 --> 00:50:45.360
Been a number of them, you know, but they're not with us anymore either.
00:50:45.599 --> 00:50:46.480
Right, you know, right.
00:50:46.719 --> 00:50:59.360
So anyway, um uh for people who can't afford because the Nordic wave is expensive, yeah, uh the red lights are expensive, the infrareds are expensive.
00:50:59.840 --> 00:51:06.000
Um there are places you go, you can.
00:51:06.400 --> 00:51:08.559
Uh again, I I think they're popping up everywhere.
00:51:08.800 --> 00:51:16.159
Yeah, I uh I went to a place down in Nashville to cold plunge in it uh in contrast, uh, before I bought for myself.
00:51:16.480 --> 00:51:19.280
I wanted to make sure it was one, it was something I would stick with.
00:51:19.519 --> 00:51:20.000
For sure.
00:51:20.159 --> 00:51:25.280
Um and it was interesting because for the first time I went on the road for two weeks.
00:51:25.440 --> 00:51:30.800
I did not cold plunge for two weeks, and I thought, gee, am I gonna want to do it when I get home?
00:51:31.119 --> 00:51:32.880
And God, I felt so good.
00:51:32.960 --> 00:51:33.199
Yeah.
00:51:33.360 --> 00:51:34.000
I got out of there.
00:51:34.400 --> 00:51:35.280
You start to crave it.
00:51:35.360 --> 00:51:35.679
Yeah, yeah.
00:51:35.840 --> 00:51:36.480
Well, that's it.
00:51:36.559 --> 00:51:37.760
Yeah, that's it.
00:51:37.920 --> 00:51:43.119
So and it's like you're craving the feeling you get after, not the suck.
00:51:43.360 --> 00:51:44.400
Well, it's like lifting weights.
00:51:44.480 --> 00:51:47.119
Yeah, you know, you're gagging while you're going through it.
00:51:47.440 --> 00:51:50.880
But you you you crave the afterfeel, especially leg day.
00:51:50.960 --> 00:51:51.119
Yeah.
00:51:51.280 --> 00:51:51.679
Oh, yeah.
00:51:51.760 --> 00:51:52.320
I still hate it.
00:51:52.559 --> 00:51:54.079
I just saw a guy at the gym today.
00:51:54.239 --> 00:51:58.400
He's doing the curls, he's got he's got guns, and I looked at these sticks sticking out.
00:51:58.480 --> 00:52:03.920
You want to walk over and go, you might not want to skip leg day anymore, but yeah.
00:52:04.159 --> 00:52:07.679
But that's Tammy will tell you when I was doing legs in my basement.
00:52:07.760 --> 00:52:10.320
There was a lot of moaning and groaning downstairs.
00:52:10.400 --> 00:52:13.119
I I um they're the largest muscles.
00:52:13.199 --> 00:52:13.679
Yeah.
00:52:14.079 --> 00:52:20.159
Um what is the best and most effective way to train legs?
00:52:21.440 --> 00:52:24.800
Is there ever a routine that you could like?
00:52:25.440 --> 00:52:34.320
If I had if I had forward to if I had to narrow it down to one thing that uh anybody across the lifespan should do, it's squat.
00:52:34.800 --> 00:52:39.679
Um squat is the number one exercise to prevent falls in the elderly.
00:52:40.000 --> 00:52:52.400
Your ability to lower your center of of mass, your upper body, the ability to uh lower your center of mass and raise your center of mass has a direct correlation to your risk for falls.
00:52:52.559 --> 00:52:58.800
You know, whether it's getting up and down a flight of stairs, which is the number one killer of people uh our age, my age.
00:52:59.119 --> 00:53:04.800
Yeah, and and the average person has three falls before they seek attention.
00:53:05.119 --> 00:53:06.960
My niece just posted on Facebook.
00:53:07.119 --> 00:53:08.719
She fell three times last week.
00:53:09.280 --> 00:53:12.079
Typically, people fall three times before they seek attention.
00:53:12.239 --> 00:53:16.639
You know, and in the the the sad part of that is there's a lot of reasons for that.
00:53:16.880 --> 00:53:18.480
Most falls occur at night.
00:53:18.559 --> 00:53:18.960
Yeah.
00:53:19.280 --> 00:53:32.800
And uh one of the things that happens with dehydration, but also with medications, is when you sit up at night and you got to go pee, um, is a lot of times people will have what's called orthostatic hypotension.
00:53:32.960 --> 00:53:34.639
It's where your blood pressure drops.
00:53:34.880 --> 00:53:39.440
So typically what happens is people sit up in bed, they don't give it a second to adjust.
00:53:39.599 --> 00:53:47.440
They get up in bed and then they take their first step, and then it hits them and they start getting dizzy, and then that's where they typically fall.
00:53:47.679 --> 00:53:54.079
So, you know, one of the things I always tell my more mature folks is You're so kind.
00:53:54.639 --> 00:53:55.760
The old diesers.
00:53:55.840 --> 00:53:57.039
Well, you know, you can tell.
00:53:57.199 --> 00:53:58.320
I mean, I can handle it, man.
00:53:58.559 --> 00:53:58.719
Yes.
00:53:59.119 --> 00:54:01.360
When you get up, sit there for a second.
00:54:01.519 --> 00:54:06.239
Give yourself, you know, a good three to five seconds to allow that adjustment.
00:54:06.480 --> 00:54:15.920
Because when you sit up, your heart has to respond in like to increase the amount of pressure in order to keep your blood pressure up.
00:54:16.079 --> 00:54:19.840
So your heart's got to pump a little bit harder to get that blood pressure up.
00:54:20.159 --> 00:54:26.719
If you in and as we mature, that that response time for the heart is gets a little bit lower.
00:54:26.800 --> 00:54:30.320
So when you sit up, a lot of times people will be like, oh, I get a little bit dizzy.
00:54:30.639 --> 00:54:35.039
A lot of times you just give it a you know three to five seconds to adjust before you take that step.
00:54:35.199 --> 00:54:45.840
The other thing I will tell, you know, for the audience, um, who are having those frequent episodes at night where they have to get up and go to the bathroom, is get rid of the throw rugs.
00:54:46.000 --> 00:54:52.960
Um, it is the number one thing that people trip on when they're going from the bed to the commode.
00:54:53.199 --> 00:54:56.159
What if you got a dog sleeping in them?
00:54:56.800 --> 00:54:58.320
No, that's a different story.
00:54:58.559 --> 00:54:59.039
Yeah.
00:54:59.280 --> 00:55:04.559
Or or cats that come in and like get in your feet as you're trying to get into the kitchen.
00:55:04.800 --> 00:55:07.920
Or leave your gym shoes like right between you and the bath.
00:55:08.159 --> 00:55:09.599
I tripped on that last night.
00:55:09.840 --> 00:55:12.159
My son does that all the time.
00:55:12.559 --> 00:55:13.199
All the time.
00:55:13.519 --> 00:55:13.760
Yeah.
00:55:13.920 --> 00:55:19.679
So anything that's that's going to be a trip hazard, especially between your bed to the commode.
00:55:20.000 --> 00:55:29.199
Um, and people don't think about that because you know, typically they do throw rugs on the on the bathroom on the bathroom floor thinking, oh, this'll help me not slip and fall.
00:55:29.360 --> 00:55:34.079
When actuality, at night, a lot of times people catch their feet on it and it becomes a trip hazard.
00:55:34.320 --> 00:55:34.880
Right.
00:55:35.199 --> 00:55:36.320
Makes sense.
00:55:36.960 --> 00:55:46.639
Um I was told um and I did this for a while, till I re you know, I have an electric toothbrush, so this became a problem.
00:55:46.800 --> 00:55:53.440
But it said to brush your teeth standing on one leg 30 seconds, and then switch to the other leg 30 seconds.
00:55:53.679 --> 00:55:58.159
So every time I would stumble, when I first started doing it, I was wobbly and I fell.
00:55:58.320 --> 00:56:03.280
And the electric toothbrush would go out and spray toothpaste all over my wife's mirror.
00:56:03.519 --> 00:56:06.639
You know, so it's now you've fallen in.
00:56:09.679 --> 00:56:11.679
She's going, What in the hell are you doing?
00:56:11.840 --> 00:56:13.679
I go, I'm trying to keep my balance.
00:56:13.920 --> 00:56:14.960
I did yoga for years.
00:56:15.039 --> 00:56:27.599
I'm I'm ready to go back um uh to do to doing yoga um because I uh for golf uh for for numerous reasons, uh, but to take care of the skeleton and um the flexibility.
00:56:28.639 --> 00:56:36.159
And the flexibility, you know, especially for um as you move into your 50s, 60s, and 70s, and you're still trying to play golf.
00:56:36.320 --> 00:56:42.960
Number one, making sure you're hydrated, making sure that you have a good flexibility and mobility routine.
00:56:43.119 --> 00:56:48.159
So flexibility, your strength, your I'm sorry, your your muscles and your fascia.
00:56:48.559 --> 00:56:51.599
Mobility is joint mobility.
00:56:51.840 --> 00:56:58.880
You know, and one of the um I used to work in uh Birmingham, Alabama with a real famous orthopedic surgeon by the name of Dr.
00:56:58.960 --> 00:57:00.159
James Andrews.
00:57:00.320 --> 00:57:01.920
And one of the studies that Dr.
00:57:02.000 --> 00:57:05.679
Andrews did uh was looking at total hip range of motion.
00:57:05.840 --> 00:57:12.880
So if I if I sit you down and I take your hip into external rotation and internal rotation, I measure both sides.
00:57:13.039 --> 00:57:19.679
If you have greater than a 10 degree difference between your right side and your left side, you're three times more likely to suffer low back pain.
00:57:19.920 --> 00:57:27.679
So knowing that, it's one of the things that we look at, you know, for folks who are suffering from low back pain, is we look at your total hip range of motion.
00:57:27.840 --> 00:57:32.960
And we actually have routines that we put them on that works on hip mobility.
00:57:33.119 --> 00:57:42.239
And hip mobility is the uh articulation between the femur and the acetabulum versus the musculature that surrounds it.
00:57:42.480 --> 00:57:47.760
So hip mobility is very different than hamstring flexibility or quadricep flexibility.
00:57:47.920 --> 00:57:51.280
And getting both of those is super important as we mature.
00:57:51.440 --> 00:57:56.000
So, like for me, most of my golfers, I'm putting them on a really good hip mobility routine.
00:57:56.320 --> 00:57:56.960
Yeah, pigeons.
00:57:57.280 --> 00:58:01.519
Yeah, and I'm putting them on a really good um shoulder uh strengthening program.
00:58:01.920 --> 00:58:13.039
That's funny you say that because I I told you I hired that online golf trainer, and that's uh today it was all lower body um and hip mobility, but yeah, it's the mobility part, it's not just stretching.
00:58:13.199 --> 00:58:13.360
Yep.
00:58:13.519 --> 00:58:18.000
I mean you're moving it uh with bands and um and hip strength.
00:58:18.239 --> 00:58:18.559
Yeah.
00:58:18.639 --> 00:58:19.039
Yeah.
00:58:19.440 --> 00:58:23.039
Uh we talked about we talked about your hip and in the glutes.
00:58:23.199 --> 00:58:36.480
You know, um everybody thinks of the glute max, which is the big butt muscle, um, and not glute medius, which is on the outside or on the kind of the lateral side of your hip, um, major stabilizer for your pelvis in one leg.
00:58:36.800 --> 00:58:37.920
Well, that's huge for golf.
00:58:38.000 --> 00:58:39.599
You gotta maintain your posture.
00:58:39.920 --> 00:58:40.639
Yeah, absolutely.
00:58:40.880 --> 00:58:41.440
Yeah.
00:58:41.840 --> 00:58:43.679
Do you have a a website or something?
00:58:44.000 --> 00:58:44.239
I do.
00:58:44.400 --> 00:58:44.719
I do.
00:58:45.039 --> 00:58:53.679
Because I I I I am sure this is in an area of of people have opinions, strong opinions.
00:58:53.920 --> 00:58:54.159
For sure.
00:58:54.400 --> 00:58:56.880
And they will ch uh maybe want to challenge you or whatever.
00:58:57.280 --> 00:58:58.239
Challenge him, not me.
00:58:58.480 --> 00:58:59.920
I'm a I'm a stand-up comic.
00:59:00.320 --> 00:59:02.159
Um I I don't know what I'm talking about.
00:59:02.800 --> 00:59:08.719
Um we research and we get who we feel are the best we can get.
00:59:08.880 --> 00:59:09.920
And I appreciate that.
00:59:10.159 --> 00:59:23.119
You know, we uh and believe me, I um I want to talk to you before we we leave about um what I can do, certainly for hip mobility and and other things as well.
00:59:23.760 --> 00:59:25.360
Why do uh here's a good one?
00:59:25.519 --> 00:59:33.599
Why do people so many people I mean you can't read minds, but why do so many people wait until the health scare to change and how do we interrupt that?
00:59:33.760 --> 00:59:36.159
How do you how do you really get started?
00:59:36.320 --> 00:59:39.119
I mean it's and the hormone replacement.
00:59:39.199 --> 00:59:41.039
Now I can I can speak for my wife and I.
00:59:41.599 --> 00:59:47.119
Um we we started 15 years ago uh in our 50s.
00:59:47.199 --> 00:59:47.760
Yeah.
00:59:48.079 --> 00:59:53.920
And um uh a game changer, uh a life changing.
00:59:54.159 --> 00:59:54.559
It does.
00:59:54.960 --> 00:59:56.880
Um but there's a lot of quacks out there.
00:59:56.960 --> 00:59:57.119
Yeah.
00:59:57.440 --> 00:59:59.840
Tammy got hooked up to to save money.
00:59:59.920 --> 01:00:01.039
I don't know why we did that.
01:00:01.440 --> 01:00:03.519
I I don't know why I agreed to let her do this.
01:00:03.599 --> 01:00:04.480
We left.
01:00:04.880 --> 01:00:11.920
I still stayed with the uh with the lady I had been with uh because I felt she was doing a good job and my life was good.
01:00:12.239 --> 01:00:14.000
Tammy wanted to save some money.
01:00:14.559 --> 01:00:22.079
She ended up at a place down here and uh she ended up bleeding profusely.
01:00:22.639 --> 01:00:25.440
Um it ended up they busted the place.
01:00:25.519 --> 01:00:27.199
There was not one doctor on staff.
01:00:28.159 --> 01:00:34.639
So please, if you're gonna look into HRT, please do your homework, find a reputable place.
01:00:34.960 --> 01:00:35.679
For sure.
01:00:35.920 --> 01:00:48.079
Um Yeah, and don't just because I have friends doing this, they just buy the cream and I go, no, you need a yeah, you need blood tests, you need blood work done, you need for sure.
01:00:48.239 --> 01:00:49.119
This is a science.
01:00:49.360 --> 01:00:49.920
Yeah, for sure.
01:00:50.000 --> 01:00:56.000
And it and if you've got if you're a woman and you're walking around with a full beard, probably taking too much testosterone.
01:00:56.400 --> 01:00:56.719
Yes.
01:00:57.199 --> 01:01:00.400
Yeah, and you have an Adam's apple, then yeah, it might be a little bit more bigger.
01:01:00.559 --> 01:01:01.519
Uh hey, how are you?
01:01:01.760 --> 01:01:02.800
Yeah, exactly.
01:01:03.039 --> 01:01:03.440
Exactly.
01:01:03.519 --> 01:01:04.239
I've had a few of those.
01:01:04.559 --> 01:01:05.360
Sure, you're hornier.
01:01:05.519 --> 01:01:05.679
Yeah.
01:01:08.400 --> 01:01:09.280
Exactly.
01:01:09.519 --> 01:01:16.400
So uh in in and I'll say, you know, um, you know, getting a good reputable provider, super important.
01:01:16.719 --> 01:01:25.840
Um at the same time, you also want to have someone who's gonna talk to you about the nutrition that you have um because it does have a direct effect.
01:01:26.159 --> 01:01:27.679
Yeah, I want to talk a little bit more about that.
01:01:27.840 --> 01:01:30.800
What uh as far as because I I have a terrible diet.
01:01:30.960 --> 01:01:31.599
I know I do.
01:01:31.760 --> 01:01:34.159
I mean, I I don't even question that.
01:01:34.320 --> 01:01:37.440
Now we do eat at home, especially this summer.
01:01:37.519 --> 01:01:43.199
My wife gardens, so we have uh fresh vegetables, we have um as much fresh as we can buy.
01:01:43.440 --> 01:01:50.960
Uh we we bought our own cow, grass-fed, you know, and uh we have that sitting out in the freezer, and uh we're gonna have some of that tonight.
01:01:51.199 --> 01:01:54.239
Um so I I I probably 80% doing well.
01:01:54.320 --> 01:01:54.400
Sure.
01:01:54.559 --> 01:01:56.480
But the crap I eat, I mean, I eat crap.
01:01:56.559 --> 01:01:57.360
I mean, I do.
01:01:57.519 --> 01:01:58.719
Um I can feel it.
01:01:58.800 --> 01:01:58.960
Yeah.
01:01:59.119 --> 01:01:59.760
I mean, I know.
01:02:00.079 --> 01:02:16.480
Well, and that's the thing, too, is that once you are used to eating better, um, more um on a better scale of of types of nutrition that you're taking in, when you resort back and you start having some of the things that aren't so good for you, you feel it.
01:02:16.719 --> 01:02:18.719
Well, that's what kills me, because we have chickens.
01:02:19.119 --> 01:02:20.639
So we have fresh eggs, you know.
01:02:20.719 --> 01:02:22.559
I mean, and they're so flavorful.
01:02:22.639 --> 01:02:25.920
And I get on the road and I get these bleached, yeah, they're almost white.
01:02:26.000 --> 01:02:27.840
Yeah, you know, you're like, I can't eat this.
01:02:27.920 --> 01:02:28.079
Yeah.
01:02:28.239 --> 01:02:31.519
But I should be eating protein, eggs, you know, on the road.
01:02:31.840 --> 01:02:32.880
You should be eating protein.
01:02:33.199 --> 01:02:35.599
But uh I I it's so hard.
01:02:35.840 --> 01:02:48.159
And then you start reading what Kennedy came out with, Bobby Kennedy came out with that 2,000 chemicals are legal in America and only like which is insane.
01:02:48.400 --> 01:02:48.800
I know it is.
01:02:49.039 --> 01:02:50.159
And there's like eight in Europe.
01:02:50.400 --> 01:02:50.719
Exactly.
01:02:50.880 --> 01:02:52.559
There's two thousand exactly here.
01:02:52.880 --> 01:03:02.400
Do you know this is the the generation coming up, is the first generation in American history that's uh more unhealthy than the previous generation.
01:03:02.719 --> 01:03:05.599
And you have to ask your yourself, why is that?
01:03:05.840 --> 01:03:09.039
You know, when you when you look at the Considering we are the wealthiest, right?
01:03:09.280 --> 01:03:16.480
We should be able to We're supposed to have the best health care, and yet we start poisoning people at an early age.
01:03:16.719 --> 01:03:24.159
Um, I really first came upon that when I was when I was doing my doctorate, I did a deep dive uh into ACL injuries.
01:03:24.320 --> 01:03:31.920
And um, as I was doing that deep dive, I got stuck on another deep dive, which was around hormones uh in young women.
01:03:32.079 --> 01:03:39.199
Um, and specifically because ACL injuries are more common in female athletes than male athletes, and there's a lot of questions about why that occurs.
01:03:39.360 --> 01:03:46.800
Part of it is pelvis, part of it is their femurs are different, their angles are different, but part of it also goes to hormones.
01:03:47.519 --> 01:03:50.880
So, what you're saying, women are different than men.
01:03:51.280 --> 01:03:51.760
Absolutely.
01:03:52.079 --> 01:03:52.480
Oh my god.
01:03:52.719 --> 01:03:55.519
Yeah, anatomically and so controversial today.
01:03:56.079 --> 01:03:58.000
Anatomically and physiologically.
01:03:58.239 --> 01:03:58.800
I know.
01:03:59.039 --> 01:04:00.639
I know him.
01:04:00.960 --> 01:04:01.440
Yeah.
01:04:02.000 --> 01:04:14.079
I mean, and that's that's the reason that a a forensic scientist can look at a body of skeletons and know that's a female, that's a male, because there are anatomical and physiological differences.
01:04:14.159 --> 01:04:17.360
Aaron Powell So he's not getting into their pronouns while he's looking at the dead bones.
01:04:17.760 --> 01:04:19.440
No, no, definitely not.
01:04:19.760 --> 01:04:20.719
Definitely not.
01:04:20.960 --> 01:04:29.440
And and uh one of the things that we're finding is that that females today are menstruating uh at 10 years old.
01:04:29.920 --> 01:04:31.280
My granddaughter, nine.
01:04:31.599 --> 01:04:31.840
Yes.
01:04:31.920 --> 01:04:33.840
So so so Oh no, I take that back.
01:04:33.920 --> 01:04:34.800
She wasn't menstruating.
01:04:34.880 --> 01:04:36.480
She is at she had had puberty.
01:04:36.639 --> 01:04:38.960
Yeah she started menstruating at like 11 or 12.
01:04:39.199 --> 01:04:39.360
Yeah.
01:04:39.440 --> 01:04:39.599
Yeah.
01:04:39.840 --> 01:04:44.320
So so young females are menstruating at a much younger age.
01:04:44.400 --> 01:04:53.920
And the problem with that is uh menopause is really ovarian burnout because your ovaries can only produce so many eggs in a lifetime.
01:04:54.159 --> 01:05:01.599
And when you start younger, um, every uh production of eggs that you do is has a large quantity.
01:05:01.760 --> 01:05:04.480
As you get older, those quantities get less and less and less.
01:05:04.719 --> 01:05:09.119
So the earlier you start, the greater quantities that you're building.
01:05:09.280 --> 01:05:14.639
So if you start it two years earlier, you're knocking off maybe eight to ten years on the back end.
01:05:15.360 --> 01:05:25.440
So what what's ending up happening is that women are starting to hit menopause at a much earlier rate, much earlier age than it was even 20 years ago.
01:05:25.679 --> 01:05:27.760
And you have to ask yourself, why is that?
01:05:28.000 --> 01:05:30.079
And again, it goes right back to what you said.
01:05:30.320 --> 01:05:32.639
We have so many chemicals in our food.
01:05:32.880 --> 01:05:37.280
What people don't realize is how much that jacks with all of your hormones.
01:05:37.440 --> 01:05:44.800
There's a reason that ADHD is higher, there's a reason that cancers are higher, there's a reason that diabetes and all these things are higher.
01:05:45.119 --> 01:05:49.119
Yeah, my wife went through breast cancer twenty twenty six years ago.
01:05:49.440 --> 01:05:54.320
And she focused on what she needed to focus on.
01:05:54.559 --> 01:05:56.320
I started focusing on diet.
01:05:56.400 --> 01:05:56.800
Yeah.
01:05:57.039 --> 01:05:59.360
Um and it was fascinating.
01:06:00.400 --> 01:06:09.360
You look at Japan where there was uh virtually zero incidences of cancer in the um sixties.
01:06:10.320 --> 01:06:15.599
And then there's this spike right after they westernized their diet.
01:06:15.920 --> 01:06:16.480
Amen.
01:06:17.440 --> 01:06:23.519
Yeah, I was actually at a uh a medical conference, uh it's probably been like five or six years ago.
01:06:23.599 --> 01:06:38.719
I was speaking at a medical conference, and I sat in on another presentation, um, and it was uh two Middle Eastern scientists, and they were talking about diabetes, and they had this graft, and it was just kind of like steady, steady, steady, and then it goes way up.
01:06:38.960 --> 01:06:53.280
And that's at the point where they started to westernize with restaurants, and they started to bring in some of these more Western, you know, McDonald's and some of these other restaurants and things like that that were jacking up their food system.
01:06:53.440 --> 01:06:57.199
And you saw a direct correlation to diabetes and things like that.
01:06:57.360 --> 01:07:11.199
So it's you know, it's it's uh to me, it's one thing that I'm I'm I'm very happy with this current administration and what they're doing from making us healthier because quite honestly, this has been needed for a long time.
01:07:11.360 --> 01:07:17.360
And as as a therapist and somebody who's been into fitness my whole life, right, I've been preaching this for 20 years.
01:07:17.840 --> 01:07:25.519
Well, we saw a Netflix special where they were they were jailing a doctor who wanted to invert the food pyramid in Europe.
01:07:25.840 --> 01:07:26.960
Said this is wrong.
01:07:27.280 --> 01:07:27.760
It's insane.
01:07:27.920 --> 01:07:28.960
They're gonna throw him in jail.
01:07:29.119 --> 01:07:29.360
Yeah.
01:07:29.599 --> 01:07:39.599
Fast I again, I can't remember the name of the uh I think it was it was on Netflix though, but it was fascinating to see the powerful how powerful the food lobby is.
01:07:39.760 --> 01:08:02.000
And uh, I know Casey Means or Callie Means, one of the one of them, the brother or the sister, talked about this on a podcast I heard that um when the tobacco companies saw the writing on the wall in the eighties, uh uh with the legal uh side of it, they put all their scientists to work and they bought all the food companies up and they put all their chemists to work on our food system.
01:08:02.159 --> 01:08:16.079
And um again, you know, you you uh naively think as an American that the people you elect have your best interest in heart, but it doesn't take a deep dive anymore to realize that no, they don't.
01:08:16.239 --> 01:08:24.159
And it's on you, it's on me, it's on all of us to do our own research and uh and and do what's best for our family.
01:08:24.319 --> 01:08:27.840
I have this argument with my my youngest son all the time.
01:08:28.159 --> 01:08:35.439
My grandson he's got issues, so texture means something.
01:08:35.600 --> 01:08:39.840
And I've tried to explain it to my wife who wants to eat what we put in front of, you know.
01:08:39.920 --> 01:08:46.319
I said, but you have to understand that to him, maybe a hamburger would be like me eating an earthworm in his mouth.
01:08:46.479 --> 01:08:48.159
He just so I you have to understand this.
01:08:48.239 --> 01:08:48.399
Right.
01:08:48.720 --> 01:08:50.800
Doesn't mean he has to eat Doritos every day.
01:08:50.960 --> 01:09:03.439
Right um, and that's the issue I have is you know, when he comes to our house, we give him homemade pasta with cream and and he'll eat that, right, you know, and um and carbonero.
01:09:03.520 --> 01:09:06.479
He loves carbonero uh with the prosciutto and whatever.
01:09:06.880 --> 01:09:15.520
But that's you know, he's one day a month he's with us, you know, the rest of the time he's eating chicken fries and you know, all this processed stuff.
01:09:15.760 --> 01:09:19.520
Yeah, he's overweight, he's nine, he's and he's just gonna balloon up.
01:09:20.000 --> 01:09:22.800
And I try and try and try.
01:09:24.399 --> 01:09:28.000
Um to the parent who has the kid.
01:09:29.520 --> 01:09:31.920
Could you at least you're a doctor, yeah.
01:09:32.079 --> 01:09:34.319
I'm I'm a comic, so why would you listen to me?
01:09:34.880 --> 01:09:35.680
They will eat.
01:09:35.920 --> 01:09:36.560
They will eat.
01:09:36.800 --> 01:09:39.439
Just put good stuff in front of them and then take it away.
01:09:39.520 --> 01:09:39.760
Yeah.
01:09:39.920 --> 01:09:41.119
At some point they'll eat.
01:09:41.279 --> 01:09:41.520
Yeah.
01:09:41.760 --> 01:09:44.800
Well, and in in uh they're not gonna starve themselves to death.
01:09:45.039 --> 01:09:51.119
Yeah, you know, and uh uh obviously today ADHD is kind of a it's kind of common.
01:09:51.279 --> 01:09:55.039
Um where you know it's overdiagnosed overdiagnosed.
01:09:55.199 --> 01:09:55.520
Yeah, absolutely.
01:09:55.760 --> 01:09:57.199
I got a five-year-old who's a little distracted.
01:09:57.439 --> 01:09:58.000
Well, he's five.
01:09:58.319 --> 01:09:59.359
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
01:09:59.920 --> 01:10:00.880
Oh, he's born ADD.
01:10:01.119 --> 01:10:01.520
And he's a boy.
01:10:01.680 --> 01:10:02.880
And he's a boy, and he's a boy.
01:10:03.359 --> 01:10:12.000
You know, um, there are, you know, uh my son uh was had some ADHD and his big thing was red dye.
01:10:12.079 --> 01:10:13.279
We didn't know that at the time.
01:10:13.439 --> 01:10:13.520
Right.
01:10:13.840 --> 01:10:20.479
Um, but as soon as he had something that had red dye in it, it was like he had five cappuccinos.
01:10:20.640 --> 01:10:23.039
Like he was off the chart.
01:10:23.279 --> 01:10:32.000
And uh simply identifying that one thing and what it did to him and eliminating that from his diet was tremendous.
01:10:32.239 --> 01:10:47.119
We actually, um, I should say my wife, who is really good at this, um, was able to identify all of the foods which would cre increase the symptoms, and we filtered those out and then just kept him on a diet.
01:10:47.279 --> 01:10:52.560
We were able to get him off all medications, and he's able to function like a normal, healthy individual.
01:10:52.720 --> 01:10:53.039
Right.
01:10:53.199 --> 01:10:54.479
And it's it's a mate.
01:10:54.720 --> 01:11:08.399
That was like one of the key things in my my lifespan that really taught me holy cow, you know, the only it it's at that point that I realized the only thing that the food system is feeding is the pharmaceutical industry.
01:11:08.640 --> 01:11:09.359
Absolutely.
01:11:09.520 --> 01:11:18.720
Uh my mom, um diabetes two, um, she started walking and doing Atkins, just eating protein.
01:11:20.000 --> 01:11:23.039
Six months, she lost 35 pounds.
01:11:23.600 --> 01:11:25.920
Doctor told her you can get off insulin.
01:11:26.239 --> 01:11:29.920
My mother freaked out, stopped walking, stopped eating right.
01:11:30.159 --> 01:11:30.720
Oh no.
01:11:31.039 --> 01:11:34.560
She she the thought of living without that thing.
01:11:34.720 --> 01:11:35.520
Yeah, you know.
01:11:36.079 --> 01:11:38.319
My dad died with a duffel bag of pills.
01:11:38.560 --> 01:11:41.359
He was hooked to Vic on Vikodin for the last decade of his life.
01:11:41.439 --> 01:11:42.000
He didn't care.
01:11:42.079 --> 01:11:43.840
I mean, I I brought it up to him.
01:11:43.920 --> 01:11:44.960
I said, You can't be doing that.
01:11:45.039 --> 01:11:46.399
He goes, I don't hurt, you know.
01:11:46.640 --> 01:11:47.920
I said, It's a lie.
01:11:48.399 --> 01:11:49.680
Your body's lying to you.
01:11:49.920 --> 01:11:53.520
You're you're you're inflamed, you're hurt, you know, you're injured.
01:11:54.159 --> 01:11:55.279
Um yeah.
01:11:55.520 --> 01:12:00.880
So I think our generation of boomers are are at least waking up, we woke up to the fact.
01:12:00.960 --> 01:12:08.560
Um, and I'm hoping Carolyn's generation, the millennials, will will pick it up and push this with our elected officials.
01:12:08.800 --> 01:12:11.039
And the only way to do it is make them get unelected.
01:12:11.279 --> 01:12:12.000
I mean, that's it.
01:12:12.079 --> 01:12:19.840
That's the only the only power we have as voters is to vote these people out that have um sold us out to the pharmaceutical.
01:12:20.079 --> 01:12:22.880
And it's difficult because of the money.
01:12:22.960 --> 01:12:23.199
Yeah.
01:12:23.439 --> 01:12:25.760
Um, they'll look at Bobby Kennedy.
01:12:25.840 --> 01:12:28.640
I thought he was a nut job until I read his book about Fauci.
01:12:28.960 --> 01:12:29.119
Yeah.
01:12:29.359 --> 01:12:30.960
And I thought, holy cow.
01:12:31.199 --> 01:12:38.159
It's I've I saw it firsthand with Glenn Beck when he came out against the status quo.
01:12:38.479 --> 01:12:45.359
They circled the wagons, they made him out to be a nut job, and that's all they gotta do is they just get enough people to think you're a nut job.
01:12:45.439 --> 01:12:51.279
They don't have to do any homework because the minute you open your mouth, they uh they discount what you have to say.
01:12:51.600 --> 01:12:52.640
Well, look at Joe Rogan.
01:12:52.800 --> 01:12:53.439
And Rogan.
01:12:53.520 --> 01:12:53.600
Yeah.
01:12:53.760 --> 01:12:59.760
You know, and and and yesterday he was at the White House getting Ibogaine approved with with the president.
01:13:00.000 --> 01:13:00.479
Really?
01:13:00.720 --> 01:13:01.359
Yes.
01:13:02.000 --> 01:13:08.239
And and and he was he and Marcus Luttrell were some of the main drivers of getting that to happen.
01:13:08.560 --> 01:13:09.199
Now what is that?
01:13:09.520 --> 01:13:15.840
Ibogaine, it's it is uh uh a psychedelic um that's used a lot for micro dosing, right?
01:13:16.000 --> 01:13:17.119
Yeah, for PTSD.
01:13:17.199 --> 01:13:26.159
Um it's used uh there's a really good uh docuseries on Netflix um called In Waves and War.
01:13:26.319 --> 01:13:32.159
Um and I've actually had uh some of my special forces folks who've gone and again with the doctor.
01:13:32.319 --> 01:13:34.239
Yeah, you know, yes, that should be a big thing.
01:13:34.479 --> 01:13:39.039
I was taking water you know, made by some guy down the street in his basement.
01:13:39.359 --> 01:13:42.319
Yeah, it's just not when I was doing psychedelics, yeah.
01:13:42.399 --> 01:13:43.920
You know, it was a picture of Mickey Mouse.
01:13:46.399 --> 01:13:47.359
You paint the guy on the corner.
01:13:47.600 --> 01:13:50.880
Yeah, so please, yeah, don't again, this DIY society.
01:13:51.199 --> 01:13:54.319
Yeah, when I could dose psychedelics.
01:13:54.640 --> 01:13:55.199
Yeah, myself.
01:13:55.760 --> 01:13:57.680
But there's my dad threw me against the wall once.
01:13:57.760 --> 01:13:58.560
I have PTSD.
01:13:58.880 --> 01:13:59.199
Yeah.
01:13:59.920 --> 01:14:05.279
There's there is uh there's a lot of really good research coming out about the use of that.
01:14:05.359 --> 01:14:07.600
You know, yeah, Sean Ryan covered a bunch of his.
01:14:08.079 --> 01:14:08.960
Yes, yeah, absolutely.
01:14:09.199 --> 01:14:12.720
So Sean Ryan's covered it, you know, they they've gotten it approved.
01:14:12.800 --> 01:14:16.399
Um, there was an executive order to uh to approve that.
01:14:16.640 --> 01:14:32.159
I think that, you know, as um you know, we get this whole push for health, you know, a lot of these things that we've talked about and that we've known um and that were considered conspiracy theories are really I think it's opening up a lot of people's eyes.
01:14:32.319 --> 01:14:34.079
My hope Well, I think COVID did that.
01:14:34.239 --> 01:14:34.399
Yes.
01:14:34.640 --> 01:14:41.119
I think they realized that the the people we have in place to protect us are not really there to protect us.
01:14:41.359 --> 01:14:45.039
And uh it's certainly now with with the information coming out about the vaccine.
01:14:45.439 --> 01:14:52.880
Well, you know, in in in you know, uh there was uh what people don't realize there was a lot of research that was suppressed during that time.
01:14:53.119 --> 01:14:53.439
Oh yeah.
01:14:53.680 --> 01:15:02.960
You know, um there's been a lot of research on increased um uh percentage of clots after surgery uh in vaccinated individuals.
01:15:03.119 --> 01:15:06.000
Um it's one of the things I talk about in my ECL courses.
01:15:06.319 --> 01:15:17.119
I think one of the things that saved us, we we had the shot, and uh was we take a small aspirin every day, and we may have saved our lives.
01:15:17.359 --> 01:15:30.479
Um yeah, I remember making a joke on stage and getting lambasted for it was um you know I've had a lot of vaccines, but nobody ever told me to sit in the parting lot next to an ambulance for 10 minutes after I took one.
01:15:31.439 --> 01:15:31.760
Exactly.
01:15:32.000 --> 01:15:34.319
Yeah, call it what you want, it was not a vaccine, you know.
01:15:34.560 --> 01:15:44.960
Yeah, but you saw the machine during uh because anybody that came out, um, and I highly recommend Bobby Kennedy's book on Fauci.
01:15:45.520 --> 01:15:47.680
Yeah, because I lived through the AIDS era.
01:15:47.840 --> 01:15:48.560
I remember that.
01:15:48.640 --> 01:15:50.000
Yeah, I remember the scare.
01:15:50.079 --> 01:15:54.079
I was a single man when that was coming out, and I was sitting in a bar.
01:15:54.159 --> 01:15:55.520
Again, this is anecdotal.
01:15:55.760 --> 01:15:58.399
So again, you know, do your own research and your own homework.
01:15:58.479 --> 01:16:02.479
But I was sitting at a bar in Atlanta and I was drinking, you know, next to a guy.
01:16:02.560 --> 01:16:03.279
We started talking.
01:16:03.359 --> 01:16:05.119
He worked for the CDC at the time.
01:16:05.359 --> 01:16:07.600
And I said, What's going on with this AIDS thing?
01:16:08.239 --> 01:16:21.359
And he said, Well, if I told if if they came out and told you the truth, there's not been one case of AIDS um with a heterosexual monogamous couple.
01:16:23.840 --> 01:16:31.359
The truth was high risk, um a homosexual lifestyle, um and you know, basically back alley sex.
01:16:31.439 --> 01:16:35.840
It doesn't you know but anyway, if they came out with that, the funding would dry up.
01:16:36.079 --> 01:16:36.239
Sure.
01:16:36.640 --> 01:16:41.840
So that planted a seed in my head was they do manipulate information.
01:16:42.159 --> 01:16:42.399
For sure.
01:16:42.560 --> 01:16:46.399
They they they not necessarily manipulate the information, they just don't tell you the whole story.
01:16:46.640 --> 01:16:47.119
Right.
01:16:47.439 --> 01:16:52.239
Because America would react in a way to whatever information.
01:16:52.560 --> 01:16:56.239
So they they that's going back to the early 80s.
01:16:56.479 --> 01:17:08.800
Um and then you read Kennedy's book on Fauci, Fauci with the with the HIV and what he did to uh one of the leading immunologists in the world by shutting them down, the exact same thing he did during COVID.
01:17:09.199 --> 01:17:21.920
He picked his favorites where the funding went, and if you went against that, if you came out with any information against that, and again, I know we're getting into the weeds here, and um you know you're gonna email Carolyn.
01:17:22.000 --> 01:17:23.199
Uh don't email me.
01:17:23.359 --> 01:17:24.880
I I probably won't read it.
01:17:25.439 --> 01:17:37.680
But um but I try, you know, I I try to I try not to go down these rabbit holes because it it takes so much time and it's exhausting, and people believe right it was interesting.
01:17:37.760 --> 01:17:41.600
We were talking about we just talked to a guest last week on abortion.
01:17:41.840 --> 01:17:47.760
It's a great book, they lied to us, yeah, you know, and uh Victoria Robinson, you can get the podcast.
01:17:48.079 --> 01:17:53.039
And the publisher basically said we don't publish books on abortion because everybody has their mind made up.
01:17:53.439 --> 01:17:53.840
Interesting.
01:17:54.159 --> 01:17:55.199
I mean, how sad is that?
01:17:55.279 --> 01:18:03.600
Yeah that you can go through life and and you know I came to Christ, my mind was made up, yeah.
01:18:03.920 --> 01:18:08.720
But it got changed through information and of ultimately the Holy Spirit.
01:18:08.960 --> 01:18:11.279
But the the information is available.
01:18:11.439 --> 01:18:14.079
And again, there's so much noise on the internet.
01:18:14.479 --> 01:18:17.119
I highly recommend uh again, your your website.
01:18:17.680 --> 01:18:18.560
Do you have a YouTube channel?
01:18:19.119 --> 01:18:20.479
the athlete lab.org.
01:18:20.800 --> 01:18:22.399
Theathletelab.org.
01:18:22.640 --> 01:18:24.319
Uh I do have a YouTube channel.
01:18:24.399 --> 01:18:26.000
It's at Trent Nessler.
01:18:26.319 --> 01:18:29.279
Um, I also put a lot of stuff out on uh Instagram.
01:18:29.359 --> 01:18:32.159
It's BJJ P T underscore A C L guy.
01:18:32.479 --> 01:18:34.399
Oh my God, you got to shorten that up, man.
01:18:34.560 --> 01:18:35.119
I know.
01:18:35.359 --> 01:18:36.000
The Ness.
01:18:36.319 --> 01:18:36.560
Yeah.
01:18:36.720 --> 01:18:37.119
That's it.
01:18:40.479 --> 01:18:41.039
There we go.
01:18:41.199 --> 01:18:41.600
There it is.
01:18:41.760 --> 01:18:42.079
There it is.
01:18:44.399 --> 01:18:45.039
Or Dr.
01:18:45.279 --> 01:18:45.600
Ness.
01:18:45.920 --> 01:18:46.079
Yeah.
01:18:46.159 --> 01:18:46.399
Yeah.
01:18:46.640 --> 01:18:46.800
Yeah.
01:18:46.880 --> 01:18:49.039
So it's That's a huge man.
01:18:49.119 --> 01:18:50.000
Get your pen out.
01:18:50.079 --> 01:18:50.239
Yeah.
01:18:50.479 --> 01:18:51.920
Let's go through it again.
01:18:52.159 --> 01:18:53.520
You know, let's repeat it.
01:18:54.239 --> 01:18:56.399
So it's uh the AthleteLab.org.
01:18:56.640 --> 01:18:57.520
That one's easy to remember.
01:18:57.600 --> 01:18:58.159
The Athlete Lab.
01:18:58.479 --> 01:19:00.800
Um and But you went into the weeds with the Instagram.
01:19:00.960 --> 01:19:02.319
Yeah, the Instagram is BJJP.
01:19:02.720 --> 01:19:03.840
I thought you had a young kid.
01:19:04.319 --> 01:19:04.640
I do.
01:19:04.880 --> 01:19:05.119
I do.
01:19:05.359 --> 01:19:06.239
Didn't he advise you?
01:19:06.319 --> 01:19:09.840
I mean, no, he's he's not much of a uh social media.
01:19:10.800 --> 01:19:11.279
Thank God.
01:19:11.439 --> 01:19:11.600
Yeah.
01:19:12.079 --> 01:19:13.199
They're probably lucky for that.
01:19:13.439 --> 01:19:14.399
Yes, I think so.
01:19:15.520 --> 01:19:19.840
Yeah, but it's it's uh, you know, I do put a lot of educational content out there.
01:19:19.920 --> 01:19:23.600
Um most of it is around injury prevention, health, wellness.
01:19:23.920 --> 01:19:27.680
Um I'm actually doing a webinar tomorrow on fitness over 50.
01:19:27.840 --> 01:19:31.199
Um, you know, I'm I Oh we're oh well this won't be out by tomorrow.
01:19:31.520 --> 01:19:33.359
Yeah, but I I really do archive.
01:19:33.680 --> 01:19:34.159
Yeah, yeah.
01:19:34.239 --> 01:19:36.000
Yes, uh the fitness doctor.
01:19:36.239 --> 01:19:38.000
Um but we do a lot of stuff.
01:19:38.159 --> 01:19:41.520
I try to do a lot of stuff to educate people.
01:19:41.600 --> 01:19:44.319
I'm I'm real big on just education.
01:19:44.479 --> 01:19:46.960
Um certainly with the peptides and empowering yourself.
01:19:47.199 --> 01:19:50.960
Yeah, it's just with the peptides today was uh eye-opening.
01:19:51.039 --> 01:19:51.119
Yeah.
01:19:51.520 --> 01:19:53.600
Again, I thought it was just bubs and a lot of people.
01:19:53.760 --> 01:19:55.359
No, it is a game changer.
01:19:55.520 --> 01:19:55.680
Yeah.
01:19:55.920 --> 01:19:57.359
Um it is an injection.
01:19:57.520 --> 01:20:01.680
You know, um you have to be willing to to accept that.
01:20:01.840 --> 01:20:03.359
Um, but it is a game changer.
01:20:03.439 --> 01:20:05.039
I mean it's how often do you have to do it?
01:20:05.279 --> 01:20:05.840
It's daily.
01:20:06.159 --> 01:20:06.560
Daily?
01:20:06.800 --> 01:20:07.359
It's daily.
01:20:07.520 --> 01:20:09.119
It's daily for like twelve weeks.
01:20:09.439 --> 01:20:09.920
Holy crazy.
01:20:10.720 --> 01:20:11.680
And then you're done for life?
01:20:11.760 --> 01:20:13.439
Or you know, it's it it depends.
01:20:13.840 --> 01:20:15.359
Is it like the NAD, you load?
01:20:15.439 --> 01:20:18.000
Uh yeah, so so uh it depends.
01:20:18.079 --> 01:20:24.079
Like if I have somebody who's coming off an injury, they're doing the Wolverine pack, the BPC 157 and TB500.
01:20:24.239 --> 01:20:25.680
So they're doing that for 12 weeks.
01:20:25.840 --> 01:20:33.520
When they come off of that, a lot of times I will transition them to more of a growth package, which is the CJC1295 plus hippamorlin.
01:20:33.920 --> 01:20:35.359
So do you need a doctor to do this?
01:20:35.600 --> 01:20:36.960
Or do you recommend a doctor?
01:20:37.359 --> 01:20:38.880
So I would recommend a doctor.
01:20:39.039 --> 01:20:43.359
Uh we do um recommend peptides to our to our clients.
01:20:43.520 --> 01:20:45.119
Um I actually sell peptides.
01:20:45.199 --> 01:20:47.359
We're actually a part of a national research project.
01:20:47.520 --> 01:20:47.840
Um look.
01:20:48.239 --> 01:20:50.079
For a 70-year-old, is that recommended?
01:20:50.399 --> 01:20:55.920
Um You know, again, I would I would definitely talk to your physician about that first.
01:20:56.159 --> 01:20:57.840
Um, talking to you, right?
01:20:58.239 --> 01:21:04.000
And and I would look at I would look at a functional med doc who really understands all of your We joined function health.
01:21:04.159 --> 01:21:04.399
Yeah.
01:21:04.720 --> 01:21:06.720
Um Mark Hyman.
01:21:07.039 --> 01:21:07.199
Yeah.
01:21:07.439 --> 01:21:07.600
Yeah.
01:21:08.000 --> 01:21:09.279
Yeah, I've got that.
01:21:09.520 --> 01:21:12.960
Matter of fact, I've got to get ret uh re another lab, a bunch of labs.
01:21:13.279 --> 01:21:18.159
Yeah, you know, and and two is is to have some conversations with your doctor about peptides.
01:21:18.319 --> 01:21:24.960
You know, I talked to a lot of our orthopedic surgeons, um, and they they are not as versed on the peptides.
01:21:25.119 --> 01:21:28.479
Um, but I also have other clinicians from around the U.S.
01:21:28.640 --> 01:21:31.920
who refer to me because they know that we're using it so heavily.
01:21:32.000 --> 01:21:34.880
Aaron Powell Well, let me ask you this then, because I'm such a skeptic.
01:21:34.960 --> 01:21:42.319
Um, an orthopedic surgeon, if this prevents injuries, then you're really kind of working against the Yeah.
01:21:42.560 --> 01:21:45.920
But you know, the way the way the way I like I watch injury.
01:21:46.000 --> 01:21:46.079
Right.
01:21:46.159 --> 01:21:46.640
You know, I don't know.
01:21:46.800 --> 01:21:51.760
Well, and the way I talk to my orthos about it is it's gonna make your outcomes better.
01:21:52.000 --> 01:21:57.600
You know, your ACLs are gonna get better faster, and they're gonna, they're gonna, they're gonna their re injury rates are gonna be less.
01:21:57.920 --> 01:22:00.079
Yeah, I had an ortho come up to me after a show.
01:22:00.399 --> 01:22:08.079
I was I was talking about getting my first hip replaced, and he got in my face and said, if you're not gonna rehab this thing, don't get it done.
01:22:08.239 --> 01:22:17.680
He goes, I'm sick and tired of patients of mine not rehabbing after surgery and coming to me and going, You screwed my hip up.
01:22:17.840 --> 01:22:18.079
Right.
01:22:18.239 --> 01:22:19.920
So I said, What's the best thing I can do?
01:22:20.000 --> 01:22:22.000
And that's what he told me, just do body squats.
01:22:22.239 --> 01:22:26.800
He said, That's if you do nothing else, just 15 times just a squat.
01:22:27.119 --> 01:22:30.960
Get your get your this area of your body functioning and moving, you know.
01:22:31.199 --> 01:22:43.520
Well, and and and what I will tell you is um if you can get with a good therapist who really looks at your movement and how you move, um, it will make a big difference in your life.
01:22:43.760 --> 01:22:48.720
Because um, you know, so my my my doctorate's in biomechanics, human movement.
01:22:48.800 --> 01:22:50.960
So looking at how people move.
01:22:51.279 --> 01:23:00.640
And to me, that has a direct correlation to increased risk for total joints, but also what does it do for uh performance enhancement?
01:23:00.880 --> 01:23:08.000
And so having someone that can really look and dissect how you're moving, it tells you everything you need to know.
01:23:08.640 --> 01:23:10.640
Wow, I'm gonna come see you.
01:23:10.880 --> 01:23:11.520
I would love that.
01:23:11.680 --> 01:23:13.760
Yeah, I'm gonna uh book an appointment.
01:23:13.840 --> 01:23:15.439
Um we could do a cold plunge.
01:23:15.600 --> 01:23:16.960
We do a cold plunge, yeah.
01:23:17.039 --> 01:23:19.199
Is that cool with two men and a plunge, man?
01:23:19.439 --> 01:23:20.880
Hey, you never know.
01:23:21.039 --> 01:23:21.279
I know.
01:23:21.600 --> 01:23:22.560
As long as you don't pee.
01:23:22.800 --> 01:23:25.279
I just don't want to ever be perceived as gay.
01:23:26.399 --> 01:23:27.439
It's a joke.
01:23:27.760 --> 01:23:28.800
Email him.
01:23:30.960 --> 01:23:31.359
Yeah.
01:23:31.600 --> 01:23:32.720
Oh, that would be cool.
01:23:32.800 --> 01:23:38.000
I I I'm telling you, man, I um uh I'm gonna go home from here and and and and dunk.
01:23:38.079 --> 01:23:45.439
I I again I'm just getting back into the gym, and it's it's so disheartening because I knew where I was.
01:23:45.600 --> 01:23:45.920
Sure.
01:23:46.079 --> 01:23:53.760
And then to start now, there was a routine that I used to my goal was to finish in 41 minutes like they do.
01:23:53.920 --> 01:24:06.319
It's a very high intensity uh it's called a total body, but yeah, you're doing um you know, arms, chest, leg, uh core, arm, chest, leg core, arm chest, core core, uh for 41 minutes.
01:24:06.399 --> 01:24:09.439
And I've never the best I was ever able to do was 48 minutes.
01:24:09.600 --> 01:24:13.119
I always have to pause it, get my breath, my heart rate get up too high.
01:24:13.439 --> 01:24:17.359
Yesterday I I only finished two rounds out of four, barely.
01:24:17.600 --> 01:24:18.880
Barely finished two rounds.
01:24:18.960 --> 01:24:25.680
Today I finished the last two rounds on my way down here, and I have to tell myself, I'll get there, I'll get there.
01:24:25.920 --> 01:24:27.840
And again, again, you'll get there.
01:24:28.079 --> 01:24:29.199
You'll get there, but you have to start.
01:24:30.479 --> 01:24:34.880
And I don't care if getting up and walking to the mailbox and back is all you do.
01:24:35.119 --> 01:24:37.199
Get up and walk to the mailbox and back.
01:24:37.359 --> 01:24:44.079
And the next day go another 15 yards, the next day go another 30 yards, the next day go another whatever.
01:24:44.319 --> 01:24:46.000
Um get but get moving.
01:24:46.079 --> 01:24:48.960
And I trust me, your brain will crave it.
01:24:49.039 --> 01:24:51.279
You you will begin to crave your body wants to.
01:24:51.680 --> 01:24:53.439
Your body wants to be well.
01:24:53.680 --> 01:25:00.399
And um, this is a this is I hope I feel like we were scattered all over because I led the conversation.
01:25:00.560 --> 01:25:04.399
Um, I'm sure if if Doc led it, it would have been a little more focused.
01:25:04.720 --> 01:25:11.119
But um go back, rewind this thing, go back and get what you what take what you need, leave the rest.
01:25:11.600 --> 01:25:14.319
But uh seek professional um help.
01:25:14.479 --> 01:25:22.000
But uh you you don't have to be in the house, you don't have to be sitting on the couch, you don't have to be the way you are.
01:25:22.079 --> 01:25:24.159
You're you're physically, you can get better.
01:25:24.239 --> 01:25:27.520
Uh your body will heal, uh, but you have to start.
01:25:27.760 --> 01:25:35.520
And um and please look at your diets and the food, and the if it's got more than a paragraph, don't eat it if you if you can avoid it.
01:25:35.680 --> 01:25:39.119
And this is coming from, you know, talk about someone preaching to the choir.
01:25:39.199 --> 01:25:40.800
I'm preaching to myself.
01:25:41.119 --> 01:25:44.239
Um I am uh I I on the road, it's difficult.
01:25:44.319 --> 01:25:50.640
I get lazy and I um and I shove things down my throat that I know are not good for me.
01:25:50.880 --> 01:25:52.079
Uh we can do better.
01:25:52.319 --> 01:25:52.960
We can do better.
01:25:53.119 --> 01:25:54.960
We can do better with people we elect.
01:25:55.279 --> 01:25:58.159
Please pay attention to the people you elect and vote for.
01:25:58.239 --> 01:26:04.800
Um and are they in the pockets of people uh who want to poison you or are um who don't really care about you?
01:26:04.880 --> 01:26:07.199
You know, I I Silicon Valley is another one.
01:26:07.439 --> 01:26:11.680
