Chapters

• 00:00 - 02:30: Introduction and Penis Health Discussion The chapter begins with a promised discussion about penis health and different techniques to maintain or improve it. The conversation mentions basic manual stretches that people have found effective, sometimes resulting in noticeable physical changes. It discusses the risks of atrophy, potentially caused by excessive use of certain supplements or routines, and the serious emotional impact that can have on individuals.
• 02:30 - 05:00: Penis Health Techniques and Manual Manipulation In this chapter, the discussion revolves around techniques and manual manipulation for penis health. It begins with the acknowledgment of potential negative outcomes, such as the possibility of a person not responding to certain treatments after reaching an undetermined threshold. The concept of a nonresponder effect to drugs is mentioned, although the exact threshold is unknown per individual. The conversation transitions to intimacy and health tactics, suggesting practical activities such as taking a 10-minute walk outdoors. To enhance this experience, the speaker suggests taking supplements like horny goatweed, which may increase arousal and stimulate positive recollections about a couple's early experiences together. The ultimate goal is for couples to feel rejuvenated and eager to reconnect intimately.
• 05:00 - 07:30: Penis Pumps and Additional Techniques In the chapter titled 'Penis Pumps and Additional Techniques,' the discussion revolves around various methods for enhancing the penis, including the well-known penis pumps. The focus is on the anatomical structure of the penis, specifically the fibrotic and scar tissue that can develop. Techniques mentioned include manual manipulation and basic stretches aimed at modifying this tissue. The conversation humorously touches on both personal and observed experiences, with a light-hearted acknowledgment of the context (on or off-camera).
• 07:30 - 10:00: Supplements and Side Effects The chapter discusses the importance of manual stretching exercises like bending and twisting, which can help break up fibrous tissue with just five or ten minutes of practice daily. This practice is especially related to 'jelking,' a technique mentioned briefly, implying its potential effectiveness when coupled with subsequent steps (details of which are hinted but not provided in this transcript excerpt). The discussion involves casual banter about whether this technique is advisable and the need for appropriate follow-up actions.
• 10:00 - 12:30: Desensitization and Blood Flow Management The chapter discusses using a constriction ring ('C ring') to maintain blood flow and engorgement in the genital area. The context suggests the use of these rings in combination with other methods, such as a penis pump, to enhance blood flow. There is a mention of 'desensitization' which seems to relate to reducing sensitivity during the process, although further clarification on the term 'desensitized' in this context is sought.
• 12:30 - 15:00: Intimacy Issues and Natural Enhancements In this chapter titled 'Intimacy Issues and Natural Enhancements', the discussion revolves around a misunderstanding related to a 'desensitized C ring', which is clarified to just be a basic C ring, a simple piece of rubber. The mention of Googling and AdamEve.com suggests an exploration or advertisement of adult products or concepts. The tone appears to be humorous or casual as the participants clarify and joke about the adult product terminology and experiences.
• 15:00 - 17:30: Creatine and Supplementation This chapter discusses the importance of manual manipulation and techniques to improve blood flow and nutrient delivery to certain body areas. It mentions the use of devices like a penis pump to break up cartilage tissue and enhance blood flow, emphasizing the gradual increase in pressure, duration, and intensity of stretches for effective results.
• 17:30 - 20:00: Peptides and Healing In the chapter titled 'Peptides and Healing,' the discussion centers around the use of various protocols and supplements to enhance physical growth and healing. It highlights how many people have experienced significant increases in both the girth and length of certain body parts. The speaker emphasizes a comprehensive approach that combines actions with supplements. While commonly known supplements like Tadal Stalis are mentioned for their vascular benefits, the chapter also suggests looking into other options, such as topical DHT, to optimize results. The importance of integrating various methods for better efficacy is emphasized throughout the discussion.
• 20:00 - 22:30: Red Light Therapy and Sexual Health The chapter 'Red Light Therapy and Sexual Health' delves into the effects of various creams and treatments on sexual health, specifically focusing on therapies impacting localized blood flow and receptors. It explores the consequences within communities dealing with conditions such as post-Finasteride syndrome. The discussion includes the severe genital atrophy some individuals face, highlighting the transformation from normal size to significant shrinkage, resembling clitoral tissue, and addresses potential causes like the impact of certain substances or diseases.
• 22:30 - 25:00: TRT Usage and Genetics The chapter discusses the use of Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) and its interaction with genetics. It emphasizes the importance of understanding individual differences in response to supplements like Lion's Mane. The speaker mentions that while supplements can be beneficial, they can also have side effects, affecting only a small percentage (less than 10%) of users. The example of Lion's Mane is used to highlight its long-term benefits for the speaker, but also points out potential side effects, mentioning other compounds like Ashwagandha and sulforaphane that interact with the 5-alpha reductase enzyme, which can give rise to symptoms similar to Post-Finasteride Syndrome (PFS).
• 25:00 - 27:30: Breathing and Respiratory Benefits The chapter discusses the use of finasteride, typically for hair loss management, and its side effects. It explains that while finasteride helps slow down hair loss by affecting the DHT hormone, it also leads to unintended consequences. These include eliminating DHT completely, which can result in feminization effects and neural atrophy. Additionally, the chapter shares accounts from individuals who experienced rapid onset of these effects, such as running to the bathroom and noticing reduced skin elasticity.
• 27:30 - 30:00: Cold Plunging and Recovery The chapter explores the physiological and psychological impact of cold plunging. It discusses dramatic and concerning effects such as genital atrophy, severe brain fog, and notable physical changes, which can alarm individuals. Special emphasis is placed on a small subset of people for whom these effects are particularly severe, almost like a life-altering ordeal. The chapter also touches on how this condition can lead to depression, highlighting the gravity of these effects. There's a mention of the author's involvement in addressing these issues, especially influenced by the adult industry, indicating a professional or personal motivation to solve genital-related problems.
• 30:00 - 32:30: Longevity and Consciousness This chapter discusses the effects of certain medications, such as those used in the PFS (Post-Finasteride Syndrome) world, on neurological and psychological responses. It highlights the issue of diminished sexual arousal in males, often not related to any neural side effects but due to disrupted connections. It also notes this problem occurs less frequently in females and mentions specific drugs like Lions Mane and Accutane that can affect physiological functions.
• 32:30 - 35:00: Hill Sprints and Fitness The chapter titled 'Hill Sprints and Fitness' discusses the potential negative side effects of using certain supplements and drugs, particularly on eyesight and eye health. The transcript emphasizes the importance of thoroughly reading informational pamphlets and consulting with doctors to understand all possible side effects. It mentions a guest, Dr. Mo, who was featured on the show and spoke about daily Calis use, although the details of his discussion are not fully captured in the transcript.
• 35:00 - 37:30: Brain Health and Neuroplasticity The discussion revolves around the topic of brain health, particularly focusing on neuroplasticity and the implications of using substances that might affect it. The conversation highlights the importance of dosage and individual differences when considering the use of such substances, pointing out potential risks associated with overuse. There's an emphasis on the need for caution and understanding of personal limits to maintain optimal brain health.
• 37:30 - 40:00: Conclusion and Final Thoughts This chapter discusses the appropriate dosages for vascular endothelial health and the potential issues with excessive usage. It states that generally, a dosage of 2.5 to 5 milligrams is effective without causing down regulations for most people. The chapter cautions against overuse, exemplified by individuals who mix various dosages and subspecies, leading to significant down regulation issues. It highlights the importance of moderation and understanding of individual tolerance levels to prevent adverse reactions.

• 00:00 - 00:30 we were going to start out with some penis talk you said there's a lot of things you can do for your penis or were you talking about there's a lot of things you can do for my penis both doing those basic manual stretches I've had a lot of people gain a good half inch to a full inch in girth as long as though you do the next steps it'll get so bad to where someone may have a 4in flid hang and it will literally atrophy to a half in and why does this happen that could be from Lion's man like the supplement Lion's man yeah it's terrible it's life it's almost life ending a lot of people get very depressed over it daily Calis if somebody's utilizing these things too much they could
• 00:30 - 01:00 probably be some negative outcomes I'm imagining you can have this nonresponder effect to any drug after you hit a certain threshold the problem is no one knows that their threshold is you've worked with people that have intimacy issues what are some other things that you think people can do from Health tactics that you use that that could be beneficial there go outside for a 10-minute walk before you take that walk take horny goatweed and you start remembering and talking about the first time you guys were together the goal is honestly to have couples rushing back to their house because they're getting so aroused anyway we're going to start out with some penis talk hey let you said
• 01:00 - 01:30 there's a lot of things you can do for your penis or were you talking about there's a lot of things you can do for my penis both okay good depending on if we're being on camera off camera you know that's right but yeah so if we look at the basic modalities starting off like everyone knows about penis pumps and all that fun stuff if you just look at the penis architecture and that fibrotic tissue that can occur the scar tissue that can occur what we're looking at is literally trying to manually manipulate that so the simple basic stretches the manual manipulation the
• 01:30 - 02:00 bending twisting things like that doing those basic manual stretches five or 10 minutes a day starts to break up a lot of that fibrous tissue that can really blow up right wait so you're saying that guys that are jelking are actually no that's yeah basically okay yeah so we on something Jers then what you're actually doing don't say us uh yeah so you do that keep your jelking guys seriously you should though yeah as long as though you do the next steps the next steps uh number two would
• 02:00 - 02:30 be get a decent size c ring so I try not to swear so you know c ring gotcha put that on the area it keeps all that blood and that engorgement in the area we are then either going to before that or after that depending on how much your own manual manipulation gets you more blood flow down there would be the actual penis pump but let quick question desensitized Co cocking desensitized what does that mean specifically what do you mean desensitized because you you mentioned desensitized searing oh
• 02:30 - 03:00 I said I said I don't swear oh so I'm not going to say C oh I got I thought it was like a desensitized SE ring okay I was like what is the desensitized c ring it's the special stuff okay just a c ring gotcha okay but yeah just just a basic seing little piece of rubber yeah you starting off on the right foot over here oh you're Googling it like what's it's so great adameve.com 977 oh miss information but yeah no you
• 03:00 - 03:30 literally start off that simple manual manipulation break up some of that cartilage tissue potentially penis pump after that seeing after that or vice versa depending on how you respond to it and the whole point is you're breaking up the area and you're bringing blood flow nutrients we say hemody dnam it's because that's blood oxygen different proteins like there's so many other cool things in blood trying to get that engorgement down there just off of doing that the right way slowly working up your pressure slowly working up how long you're leaving you're receiving on and how hard your stretches are actually
• 03:30 - 04:00 being I've had a lot of people gain a good half inch to a full inch in girth and then another one or two inches in length so you have that Baseline protocol because like we always say we don't just take something we do something then we take something you're doing that action then you can complement it with so many other things everyone knows the tadal stalis based thing more blood flow you can do that low dose has awesome long-term vascular benefits like that's cool but everyone knows that if we start looking at some of the other things you can actually do uh we can look into like the topical DHT
• 04:00 - 04:30 creams those can drive a lot of not just localized blood flow-based changes but a lot of the anent receptor base changes that go on there so I really got heavy into the adult industry and then over in the PFS Community it's like post fastrite syndrome post Lions man all that fun stuff and a lot of those guys they'll have genital atrophy so it'll get so bad to where someone may have a 4in flid hang and it will literally atrophy to a half an inch or quarter of an inch and it will actually look like cliteral tissue and why does does this happen damn that could be from Lion's
• 04:30 - 05:00 man so there's a lot of different things in supplement Lion's man yeah yeah so keep in mind though this happens to 10% or less of people okay so the vast majority of people like I've taken Lions man every day of my life since 2020 I always will it's been the be like one of the biggest things for me but there's always side effects everything always has potential side effects so faside Lion's man ashanda essentially even sulfurane anything that can manage that five alha reductase enzyme has this potential to cause this like faux PFS
• 05:00 - 05:30 syndrome finasteride is typically used for hair loss right yep to to help slow down hair loss right yeah it'll manage that five off for duct day s on the problem with that though is what we see over there is it basically abolishes that and then all of a sudden no DHT it starts to feminize you it starts to drive a lot of neural atrophy and it's scary but a lot of the people I work with their accounts are basically they'll take it in like within 5 minutes they're running to the bathroom and they're looking at themselves in the and their skin will become less elastic
• 05:30 - 06:00 it'll look like it's melting their genitalia will atrophy they'll start having the worst brain fog of their life they'll literally start changing before their eyes and they're like people freak out it's like what's causing this and for those that small subset of people like stand Mike there oh yeah sorry uh for that small subset of people like it's it's terrible it's life it's almost life ending a lot of people get very depressed over it and I get it's tough so I got really heavy into fixing genitalia because the adult industry and
• 06:00 - 06:30 then also in the PFS world yeah cuz that's a big thing cuz a lot of people could also have no neural side effects but then they don't have that penal connection so it's like they're not getting turned on by looking at a female walking down the street and this doesn't happen by the way as often to females I'd say it's probably like if we say that whole 10% maybe that are are it's probably 9.5% that are males still happens with females wow I have a couple girls right now that's mainly coming from Lions man and Accutane uh Accutane can dry out those ious glands which is
• 06:30 - 07:00 cool to lose you know and change those those acnes and that those overgrowths but then you also lose the oil production in your eyes so then they start getting dry eyes they start getting macul regeneration and there's a lot of things that can happen so like with everything every supplement every drug like no actually read the pamphlet you know from the pharmace company you're buying it from read it from your doctor know all the side effects CU they're all very real we had Dr Mo on the show uh he was talking uh about daily Calis use I think he was kind of
• 07:00 - 07:30 saying like in the five milligram dosage and he was even recommending it for like younger people um can we get desensitized to these things like what are things that we maybe need to look out for like uh I think sometimes taking those kinds of things can be fun yep you know you just throw in a little fun here and there but if if somebody's utilizing these things too much there could probably be some negative outcomes I'm imagining yeah and everything's always dose dependent and Par dependent so like if if we're looking at like the
• 07:30 - 08:00 longevity dosage side of things for like vascular endothelial Health you're looking like 2.5 to 5 milligrams very few people are actually going to be desensitized to that like they're not going to have those long-term chronic down regulations It's usually the people that it's you know having the extra fun where I'll go 20 milligrams tonight 40 tomorrow I'll mix in all these different selenops for dils like you'll mix everything under the sun and then all of a sudden you start having massive down regulation cool so over atomics and a lot of people have and this can happen with anyone in
• 08:00 - 08:30 reality you can have this non-responder effect to any drug after you hit a certain threshold the problem is no one knows what their threshold is there's no way of knowing that so your threshold may be so high that you'll never reach there in your entire lifetime other people might be after one dose so whenever we see that happen we start seeing the disconnect from neural tissue to penal tissue when that happens what's the first thing that goes blood flow your brain doesn't say I don't need to reproduce it doesn't say put blood into
• 08:30 - 09:00 my penis you know don't put blood in my penis I'm on a podcast right now I it's got to be nice and full right you know but if you don't have that's it's not going to be there then you get depressed and you're hiding it you know you're trying not to show it off so that neural connection goes down first then from there you start seeing the blood flow changes so then uh penal tissue starts to atrophy testicular tissue starts to atrophy and then all of a sudden it's hard to just get an erection to have a good orgasm because orgasms are all oxytocin and dopamine dependent so that dopamine ox toin in the brain through
• 09:00 - 09:30 the spinal cord and there's like a dozen proerectile centers in men and women in the brain and different portions of the spinal cord when we have Aries and like the breast nipple architecture men in testicles and penis perineum it's everywhere uh it's actually super interesting in the female World we're kind of going off script here but in the female world if you look at how many different orgasms they can have it's it's crazy it's dozens of different ways that they can actually orgasm yeah and a lot of women like that I'll work with they could just general population or
• 09:30 - 10:00 athletes whoever you know they're kind of getting warmed up by that now I remember conversation with Susan Breton I think she mentioned 21 different ways right yeah it's it's so true though damn look at those delts it's warm now those orgasm delts the natural delts they are you could tell how can can you tell though I can okay tell me what what do you see then what about them so if you look at your heritage those muscle bellies and iner
• 10:00 - 10:30 insertions are not always there but usually there so you have these awesome muscle bellies these awesome insertions if you would go side by side with someone who had bigger delts than you but they don't have the same insertions the same muscle bellies M you're going to look bigger every time so a lot of African-Americans on stage they pop like they look so different because their muscle bellies insert differently and then you look at some you know white Caucasian guys and they don't have that same pop they're big but they don't don't have that same pop in a lot of it
• 10:30 - 11:00 it's just you know tissue insertion oriented and obviously Caucasians still have that but it's usually more predominant in the African-American community so for you like oh go ahead goe I was going to say right now when you're relaxed right now like sizewise you're kind of like okay like decent nothing crazy and then you do that you change that small position and now you see the roundness and fullness so stay standing straight up you look bigger I got you okay there's I want to I want us come back to this thing but I have a I
• 11:00 - 11:30 have a feeling that you've probably gone down the rabbit hole of like genetic differences when it comes to like muscle building have you gone down that rabbit hole all do you think much about that a lot because we had a conversation about this I'm just curious like what what do you notice what do you see when it comes to like Athletics and just yeah bodybuilding it's interesting because the genetic conversation applies for everything so your genetic response to nutrition your genetic response to pharmacology to supplementation to training to sun exposure to Stress
• 11:30 - 12:00 Management to emotional stress management like it's all an epigenetic equation so you have certain people who and you see bodybing is the best example right they will turn pro and they've done it all themselves and they'll go to work with one coach and like they get worse results like things aren't working the way they should then they go to some other coach same kind of thing then the third coach knocks out of the park comes Mr Olympia two years that happens generally not because they're doing something so crazy but they're just doing something something different and
• 12:00 - 12:30 that difference was what you needed cuz that's what you epigenetically responded better to so sometimes it's not the magical pharmaceutical compound cuz everyone pretty much knows everything you know it could be the difference of very high intensity and low volume training or very high volume low intensity training it could be the difference between having a more keto based diet or more higher carbohydrate higher protein based diet yeah so and then there's also the pharmaceutical side of things everyone respond differently to testosterone all the
• 12:30 - 13:00 different androgens the different peptides the different growth hormones like there's always that response and sometimes that's it but it's usually when you hear about genetics and bodybuilding or in any sport for that matter usually it's coming down to like one thing like the response to this and then it goes back to what we're talking about beforehand it's also your muscle bellies your insertions we talked about it yesterday at your house and over in the Olympics one of the things that we do in the background is called 3D biological printing so not everyone uh but two of the people that did metal
• 13:00 - 13:30 that I worked with this past year at Paris we actually had 3D biologically printed different muscle bellies and cartilage tissue they are muscle bellies no 3D printed so literally just manufactured and then you would go in you would remove you would insert surgically and then now they can have the perfect run the perfect Sprint the perfect catch CL this has been done yeah it's it's been done for a while now it's done so much so in it's creepy in China they have of
• 13:30 - 14:00 course that's going to go for everything though like they have actual robots walking around in the 3D printed Skin So actual dermal layers on these robots that now with the whole AI they're starting to put that into their brains essentially and so there is there any sort of regulation on these like 3D printed like uh ligaments or tendons that were you know cuz you know can you I'd imagine you can make them like pretty crazy right there's a special technique involved with that honestly I don't even know or
• 14:00 - 14:30 understand uh that's kind of apparently out of my pay grade because I just know essentially where that's done how it's done that it's a thing and everything but the actual technology is not at the Forefront like you can search and anything that I found has been redacted like you literally can't find it online because everything usually has to be patented or there's there's some kind of paper trail but a lot of things are redacted even if you look it up someone comes in and steals your computer in the middle of the night yeah right you know you're just taking a poop you go in gone
• 14:30 - 15:00 top secret um when it comes to something like uh trt usage um what kind of concern should people have because uh we're just seeing so many people linking up with trt clinics and I think it's great for people to get their blood work done and it's great for people to get recommended uh appropriate supplementation and stuff like that um but I do think there's kind of a lot of people out there like really just kind of fishing around for some testosterone basically and just like what's some thought that people should have behind
• 15:00 - 15:30 that and do you think there's any negative impact or effects of just I guess maybe long-term trt because it seems like once you go to it um and you use testosterone it's not like your body's like Hey we're you know now we're on board with like making more testosterone and so when you come off of it it's not like you're going to make more of it you're probably going to make less of it for a while take you a while to like recover from it so maybe what are some things people should think about before they get uh too far down the rabbit hole of that I think first it
• 15:30 - 16:00 always has to be said that there has to be the basics in place the training nutrition sun exposure like proper sleep hygiene Everyone likes to avoid those things and we can see how much and how big of an impact those can have on us so the basics first then you have to go through your own blood work mapping and figure out okay where am I at Naturally you know you could do some of the epigenetic tests I've never done them personally because I I'm afraid of having my epigenetic information out
• 16:00 - 16:30 there because I don't know where the technolog is going maybe one day there's this Gene and then oh we got to eradicate everyone with that Gene conspiracy theory whatever but I'm not putting it out there yet so what does the epic genetic test tell you like everything like you could uh if you're uh it's not like just like 23 and me it's more than that no it's more than that yeah you could find out if you're going to be a positive responder to different cancers you can find out if you're going to be a positive responder and more have a higher chance of having different cardiovascular events that's like the APO lipo ecores and then those ratios and those genes those Al uh
• 16:30 - 17:00 really makes a big difference cuz you can know oh okay if I have this Al this Al then I can have more of a propensity to hold on to these fats which at certain phases of life could be awesome when you're younger earlier and you get older and then that gets kind of worse as you're holding on to these fats not able to liberate not able to move things around you know but without getting into the APO lipo AE B conversation going back to uh we were talking about questions about like General trt there you go General TR so you have those Basics you do your
• 17:00 - 17:30 blood work you find out okay where's my hscrp my CBC CMP lipids thyroid know all the basics know where your testosterone estradiol is at once you have those numbers printed out or some way put notes on that so say my libido is amazing my estra dial is at 47 or whatever most males are like 40 to 60 they feel really good I respond amazing like I can have estra like 200 300 myo just goes up problem is estra is that high then you could have potential problems with there's some potential
• 17:30 - 18:00 risk for like cancerous growths some fibrosis changes but no one's really pushing up their RTI that high anyway so it's really a non concern but you have this blood work and now you know okay I'm training this way I'm eating this way I know how I need to live my life to respond then I'm getting my blood work done and I'm knowing okay this is my Baseline then from there if you want to dip your toe into that pharmaceutical world and go through the HRT clinics maybe it's starting off with something like an HCG or gatell and or allel and there's so many different variations out there that just drive that
• 18:00 - 18:30 intratesticular indog production and even actually before that don't even go that route cuz that's still injection that's kind of that next step the over the counter supplements the tongue got Al these sstan uh there there's fogas like there the list goes on and on of these endogenous anent drivers that work super well they really do the problem is though they'll never get you that super physiological actions unless if you are one of those hyperresponders cuz I I've had a lot of people that are in the natural community of different Sports
• 18:30 - 19:00 NFL NHL and they get an insane response off of creatine they get a massive for bus driver on testosterone bleeds over to more DHT they can then on a normal dose of creatine no we usually work it up pretty high so you'll kind of taper it based on the person you could start off with your traditional 5 milligrams you also have to make sure how your gut responds to it so you might have to switch between different varieties because everyone does respond to metabolize creatin differently in the gut and that depends on gut biome and so many other things but you work up with five see how you respond maybe take an
• 19:00 - 19:30 INT workout getting ATP resynthesis you're storing more glycogen better like to me int workouts are really easy time most people are having their Shake anyway and then maybe you work up next week go to 10 so you respond and then maybe go to 15 and then maybe go to 20 and at some point what you're trying to do is find out if either your gut goes out or performance stops increasing and I've had people again going back to the Olympics where they worked up to 150 grams worked up though that wasn't yeah exactly there there's no Lo 150 gram of
• 19:30 - 20:00 creatine a day I mean I don't even know what that looks like ridiculous it is scooping it in there forever you're having it at every meal shakes yeah so so what exactly because like I've always been good a good responder to creatin I I take 10 grams every day I notice a difference it's positive I've never done more than that so if somebody's a good responder right what type of differences will they see in their performance and hormonally and there is there like is there a downside if you're not noticing any gut whatever cuz like sometimes you know you get a
• 20:00 - 20:30 blood blood test done and you have high these high creatinine levels and your doctor warns you right is there anything to watch out for if you're doing this as long as you are and actually it's funny because you'll start lowering your homosysteine because if you look at creatine and choline that metabolism that's 50% of that homocysteine spin-off so you'll start actually getting healthier with a lot of things now if someone does have a pre-existing renal problem then yeah egfrs hscps hsrp will go up EG far as will go down so I I use
• 20:30 - 21:00 the extreme example of 150 grams that's like two people that worked with the majority like uh in a lot of the professional sports and the Olympics they'll probably be like 30 to 50 grams though so still a lot more than people are taking but again if you're not seeing the benefits and or you're getting the gut negative consequences you stop taking it you know your at least you know your cap dose but someone like you you have those round muscle bellies what you would start seeing is more fullness more roundness your strength would go up you start feeling better looking for those
• 21:00 - 21:30 gummies that's [ __ ] yeah creating gummies yeah we have so oh that's cool yeah I I I I always use the powder at home but like we had some s was so I was about to just like gobble 10 you what you got over there Andrew looks like you're building up some questions over there I'm trying to build up this tolerance for this damn ankle pain that I'm not going to get into before that don't forget before that so that means cuz everyone's known creatine's been positive right but there has been a surge of young like oh my God creatine is so that means that for some people
• 21:30 - 22:00 creatine is like a Super Supplement yeah to the point to where like in the literature people shouldn't be losing their hair and yet if they're a hyperr getting all these antigenic actions we see testosterone Labs go up whether it be free or total we also see Downstream DHT going up we don't see changes with estrogen which is cool but you start seeing this increased motor learning from the DHT increased protein translation transcription so just anabolism building muscle tissue from the testosterone and then everything
• 22:00 - 22:30 else the creatine does just as that cellular hydrator and we're just talking about body composition performance right all of the health benefits of Hope for the natties this is exciting yeah like groundbreaking all the natural people are flipping out right now they just went off pulled our car off the road flipped around to go to their local GNC they should and and just know cuz not every a lot of people will not be able to tolerate like 50% top out at 10 15 gr but you still notice more
• 22:30 - 23:00 than five GRS or three gr and this is where it's tough because although I read every piece of literature every book everything out there I never limit my scope to what's found in paper because if I do I'm going to miss out on so many super bowls and Olympics and olympias it's like I'm going to make sure my athletes are taken care of and see what works in application yeah that's going to be funny why are you so much bigger you're lying it's creatin I mean everyone's already going to be upset the fact that he said like yeah you're definitely Natty so many comments just said nope no way
• 23:00 - 23:30 yeah I mean honestly you can tell you know like all jokes aside like and you are an impressive natural bodybuilder I just also seen dozens of you yeah which is awesome I'm not one of them I wish I had your muscle boys insertions like I'm 250 now and like I take my shirt off I start posting like I don't look that big I get on stage I like I shrink I get smaller cuz my bones are so big my muscle bellies like my arms like 20 in now or whatever and they look like they're like 16 like if we do front a bicep I don't know what size your arms
• 23:30 - 24:00 are but you'd blow me away and SE always looks big but you look stupid when you're lifting yeah yeah when I you're lifting [ __ ] ridiculous like I'm out of here I just leave especially with the creatines I can't wait to go take more creatin that's wild holy [ __ ] that's awesome no what I was going to ask um so not going to get into why the heck my foot's hurting right now but we were talking in the gym and you know like the Holy Grail of they call it like the Wolverine stack or whatever is uh bpc 157 and tb5 00 but you mentioned a couple of other ones that I had no idea
• 24:00 - 24:30 I never had heard of them before can you talk to us about some of these healing peptides that seem to be working well for you know numerous people yeah I got a lot there's a lot of Cool Tools so if we slowly we we'll kind of summarize right we'll start slowly looking at one press synopsis so we know what's going on so if we look at like bpc first of all just to start off every's on the same page all of these peptides do so many things okay so I try and see what's the primary why I would utilize it if
• 24:30 - 25:00 you look at it from an act in sequestering protein side of things it's that act in Scar Tissue really tissue healing as a hole whereas tb500 is in my mind more of the neonatal Gene player so neonatal genes are essentially the genes you would have right now if there was no damage you got to this point in life with essentially no damage tb500 is pretty much the only peptide that can turn that on so I see that unique aspect I go O Okay act and sequestering with bpc so heel tissue we go over to the neonatal Gene and that's where we really start seeing the TB 500s we then go over to something
• 25:00 - 25:30 called GH KCU so Blue Copper peptide you can use it topically for your hair for your skin like it's absolutely awesome but what it also does whenever it's injected again does tons of things but one of the things that drives stem cell migration so it can pull stem cells to that area or globally so red bone marrow will now donate more actual stem cells so that whole process is cxcr4 sdf1 it's basically receptor Lian based stuff you'll basically skew that displacement so that your red bone marrow will
• 25:30 - 26:00 literally give more stem cells into circulation wow to a specific area that you want it to go to if you want to yeah all of these if you apply them locally there is a difference in actual magnitude of effect a lot of these are in that somatropic like growth hormone is category and they all rely on something called localized receptor mediate clearance we're actually talking about that beforehand and how they bind the localized receptors and how they clear will give mo more specific non-genomic action so non- genomic basically mean like right now right genomic being like more chronic so no
• 26:00 - 26:30 matter what you're going to get chronic but you're also getting that localized acute effect too it's really interesting that all these peptides you me mentioned Blue Copper and I'm just thinking like copper and grounding yeah yeah right like how popular grounding is so there's probably some sort of Association or affiliation with that and then I'm thinking like methylene blue seems to be like something that helps you to harness the power of the Sun a little bit better and then so many of these peptides it comes back to like mitochondri function yeah um why do you think that is why do
• 26:30 - 27:00 you think um that that's such a big driver to help people with health outcomes and even Sports Performance so if we scroll back in how we evolved as a species from CYO bacteria so literally just bacterias right and then over time that Evolution process happened we start seeing these lipid Bayers forming that became mitochondria so bacteria mitochondria were brothers essentially so if we kind of take that and say that's what we started as that's our basis as humans
• 27:00 - 27:30 that's our repair system so there's also in our bodies the stem cell conversation superoxide dismutase you start going on the list of plasmalogens of so many things that we lose the older we get but it's still a lot of it is underlying if there's ever a health problem or someone's not progressing in some way it's most likely an inflammatory oxidative or mitochondrial problem it's one of those three and if you fix the mitochondria that can also drive more repair so if you would fix the mitochondria first you tend to fix everything else and then if you really want to get crazy
• 27:30 - 28:00 in depth which we won't go to today but that's the quantum biology side of things to where now we're fixing the cells at the cellular level with what we're doing now with peptides and things like that medicine 3.0 then you go to the quantum biology and then you're looking at the actual emfs you're looking at magnets you're looking at frequencies you're looking at vibrations and that's a whole other world of healing that I think that's going to be the next step because we as a race are going to be able to live to be 100 150 like almost everyone in the next 10 or so Years it'll be pretty common practice with all the therapies
• 28:00 - 28:30 coming out yeah like the the rate of longevity research coming out now is ridiculous I saw the other day that they made some sort of dye some type of food dye that allows you to like see through the body I didn't see that and some of that has to do with uh and I don't know what's true it you know I saw it on Instagram right um but it has to do with some of the uh you know the light that the mitochondria produces and it's kind of playing off of that but stuff like that could be revolutionary yeah obviously there's probably some dangers to that too just as there is some
• 28:30 - 29:00 dangers with x-rays and MRIs and stuff they you know you're getting a certain amount of like radiation so I'm sure using these food dyes probably isn't the greatest thing wait is it a yellow food Dy tarine to make skin transparent to see internal organs yeah that's cool I never heard of that I looked that up later on not I mean it's just like we're getting into some wild stuff and you're talking about 3D printing you know some body parts it's the stuff that no one ever talks about and I think I mean just because the information is not really out there and like I'm one person I I
• 29:00 - 29:30 can only post up so much and there's also like there's dozens of people hundreds of people that putting out so much good content I just I don't follow anyone because I'm just busy living my life playing with my kids and everything but like I feel like there's a lot more people talking about this than I think everyone knows how have you been on like the Forefront of a lot of stuff cuz there's a lot of things that you've been talking about for many years that are sort of just now coming to the surface like da and a bunch of other things yeah so I fell in love with education so much so that like I would join uh different
• 29:30 - 30:00 forums like I would join ACR megley forums and I'd go on and I would just you know ask people questions and then I would offer to pay them to see their blood work I was just curious what their has some of that yeah right his giant hands and elbows and kneecaps and stuff Y and and there's so much you can learn from that so I started going to all the diseased populations if I go to the ER or the hospital for whatever reason if I really click well with the doctor I try and find their contact information and I try and pay them for consults and so
• 30:00 - 30:30 like I try and learn from everyone in my life every single day on top of reading everything I can books research it doesn't matter if it goes with what I think is real or not because if I'm reading something that disagrees with what I've seen in application it can still teach you something else so like on this podcast we disagree on something cool I want to know why you disagree about it because that might change my perspective so everything's like this is All Through My Lens so I have to make up a lot of words I have my own vocabulary and it it it's tough because a lot of this stuff just isn't being talked about publicly or it's not researched or it's
• 30:30 - 31:00 just all theoretical you know yeah I I want to just real quick rewind to when you were talking about mitochondria You' probably looked into like red light therapy and some of the research that like a lot of people um you know some people think it's BS some people think it's legitimate from what you've seen I don't know if you've used is there Ben do you find benefit there tremendous benefit okay yeah so going back to the erectile tissue I have a lot of my male and female athletes clients who again whoever has erectile problems it day that's exactly right though so
• 31:00 - 31:30 what you do though so it's cool so let's just go through this whole process okay so we started off there we go so started off first we have our basic exercises so we're doing our tugging our pulling our stretching we're then going to potentially penis pump we are then going to c ring then from there all that blood flows in the area there could be localized igf applications there could be topically applied DHT creams there could be tons of things that you add there then you lay on the ground spread
• 31:30 - 32:00 your legs red light therapy shining Direct on your genitalia and what I'll do the next step would be because that that's awesome for the majority of people if people are having like relationship intimacy based problems we would do that therapy together and then there is some foreplay and there are some things that they'll do together or someone will start watching some kind of like adult material just to get that neurological connection to train them hey this is good you should release dopamine you should release oxytocin that's what's going to drive that arousal curve wow and so then they can
• 32:00 - 32:30 proceed and afterwards it's super important though that you know the vast majority of the time some wild [ __ ] watching some porn in front of the red light with a penis pump in your hand trippy you know but okay no look first off this is great I'm I'm gonna lift my balls against the red light even more sometimes i' I've always been a little bit concerned like this is kind of warm but should be okay um you're not putting it on it no I'm not laying my balls on there no it's not Burns singing them yeah right that EMR like strong men your sexual performance is very very
• 32:30 - 33:00 important to us cuz our sexual performance is important to us which is why you know if you are getting ready and maybe you had a stressful day you're not feeling the greatest blood flow isn't working you walk into a situation and your [ __ ] is just it's not moving the way it should that's why I partnered with joy mode because rather than being like that we want you to be like oh we want you to be like this okay we want you to be able to perform when you need to perform and the
• 33:00 - 33:30 reason why we love joy mode so much is because it's not like your gas station dick pill or sealas or Viagra which are things that aren't bad but guys end up being reliant on these things and they can't end up work in the way they should themselves but joy mode has all natural ingredients that will actually help with your blood flow I don't only like using this before having some fun I also like using it before working out and the ingredients are as follows vitamin c l citrine Arginine nitrate Panic ginsing
• 33:30 - 34:00 root Joy mode makes it easy and puts it in packet where you can literally just put in some water drink it and then before you know it you're where you should be and I'm serious you guys give this a shot you won't be disappointed and it's not something that you're going to feel dependent on this is good stuff and I'm excited for you guys to get your hands on it so Andrew how can they do it yes that's over at use jooy mode.com and that checkout use promo code Brother promo code power project to save 20% off
• 34:00 - 34:30 your entire order again use Joy mode.com links in the description as well as the podcast show notes we want to get you'all throbbing throbbing viny let's get it did I break the table you you've worked with people that have intimacy issues and I think uh that's not talked about that much so I mean what are some other things that you think people can do from Health tactics that you use that that could be beneficial there as lame as it sounds good walks outside gotcha so you would
• 34:30 - 35:00 start off again if there is intimacy based problems in a relationship go outside for a 10-minute walk before you take that walk take something it could be horny goatweed it could be uh K talil it could be the DHT like could be so many different over-the-counter supplements or pharmaceutical compounds you take that both of you and you both go on that walk and you start remembering and talking about the first time you guys were together you talk about what it was like what you were EXC about and you really relive that if you
• 35:00 - 35:30 really want to get trippy you add in like some Tiger milk mushroom beforehand to drive ngf so you're getting more neural [ __ ] my Amazon list right now okay horny goatweed tiger what Tiger milk mushroom Tiger milk mushroom neut Tropics Depot they have a really good one okay any well you know let's keep going before I ask questions yeah yeah so you're doing that and then again you're trying to train your body like hey I remember what it was like back then then all of a sudden like the goal is honestly to have couples rushing back to their house because they're getting so aroused like I've had a lot of
• 35:30 - 36:00 stories where it's like guy had to turn around cuz erection starting or female is back to the yeah female's getting she's producing so much fluid that then she has to rush back to the house and that's a whole different conversation about female ejaculation as a whole or I hate saying the word soring because it just it doesn't sound right it sounds very vulgar but every female can actually have that ejaculatory fluid-based response it's a different type of orgasm yeah so you know I have a lot of women where if we're doing these
• 36:00 - 36:30 protocols I'm not sure why it's always walk right yeah best walk spurting well no not actual know but the car so I call the car phenomena imagine if it did though wait cuz the car is like vibrating so it's funny so the anecdotes I always get once we start correcting sexual performance in females is they'll stop at a red light and they'll have a spontaneous orgasm vibrations from the car rub of pants on clitoral tissue it just happens in a
• 36:30 - 37:00 second okay and that happens a probably 70% of the time when we have someone fixed you know and that happens all the time in the Androgen using world of females too because they're essentially operating like males so all of a sudden blood flow cital tissue doesn't take 10 to 15 minutes it's like 30 seconds like guys guys are 30 seconds 60 seconds I have a question to a few questions you mentioned horny goat weed another guy came on the podcast mentioned it loved it and is there a dosage is there any like negatives to taking it too often
• 37:00 - 37:30 not at all you want to look for the Ian content actually going back to neut Tropics Depot they have a really good ratio Blended product it's that Ian content that really drives a lot of has a lot of great stuff they do too you know there I always try and like if I use something regularly or I recommend my clients to I always try and give people shout outs cuz like they deserve it they really do how about the Tiger milk mushroom same place same place but like any type of drawbacks to using Tiger milk mushrooms no because so we talked about the Lion's with the five out for reductase this does not inhibit
• 37:30 - 38:00 or interact with that enzyme at all so if you're kind of shying away from Lion's man but you still want like the ngf mimic still driving that neite growth then you go with tiger smoke great for both men and women yeah okay and the Tiger's Milk one was the one where you mentioned if women take that that's the that that'll I mean it can it can yeah so that's if someone has a bad connection yeah no it's for real though yeah she doesn't have a bad neural her newk connection is great but what if it's better throw a little bit of that
• 38:00 - 38:30 Tiger's Milk in her coffee she'll be like a little different tastes a little different today and she loves her coffee I I won't drug my coffee you're third cup great this is great [ __ ] information thank you Alex yeah of course I see people sometimes walking on the beach and they're holding hands and I've seen this older couple in BEDA Bay they they walk the whole entire uh they
• 38:30 - 39:00 walk the whole entire Beach which is like ends up being like three or four miles they hold hands the whole time they're probably 65 70 something like that I always give them props when I'm out there like on a run I just think that's the coolest thing so I don't know like if you're with somebody for a long time uh you may not always want to hold their hand you may not want to try to hold their hand for like a really long time CU sometimes it's can be awkward for various reasons but I think a practice like that is a really good one like oh let's go go on
• 39:00 - 39:30 this walk and let's hold hands like it it's so simple um but there's so many uh there's so many things going on in your body when you're making contact with somebody else oh yeah so something as simple as just holding hands and going on a walk could be huge it's funny I think like one of the reasons why I'm so positive and so happy is because if I'm at home I'm either holding a kid or a dog or my wife's hand it's like always that connection you're always doing something and going back to like a lot of the longevity research in the
• 39:30 - 40:00 communities there's that whole untalked about love conversation or actually having that physical connection with someone having that drive to love another being that's where the Consciousness comes in and it starts changing that entire environment as well so you talk to anyone who's been over 100 years old and they have a couple things in common one of them is that they always had something to do so they always had a goal and then the other big thing was that they always had someone that they loved or a head or grandkids or something to drive up that overall
• 40:00 - 40:30 not just recovery response but that healing of the Soul as hippie as that sounds is that Consciousness Soul aspect that we really don't take into consideration there's a third thing there too something to look forward to yeah something to love something to do something to look forward to that's exactly right that's like a great combination things and if you do that then you do everything else then you worry about the longevity protocols and you worry about the nutrition like to me before you even do nutrition or whatever like you should have those basic things down have your life on track first of all have your loved ones cuz I I haven't
• 40:30 - 41:00 had a bad day honestly since 2020 that was whenever I had my gallbladder out got back home and then a week later was the shutdowns which was the best thing that ever happened to us I feel bad it was so I feel bad it was so hard on so many people but like I got out of that surgery and I was like you know my wife brought my daughter into there into the hospital I was like I'm never coming back here this is not cool you know so we' take walks we would talk we'd hold hands and it was just such a big bonding experience and it was like yeah this is what matters like it's my family first work second my health education
• 41:00 - 41:30 everything kind of tied for third and then my own athletic goals you know what happened with the surgery what was it so my whole life I had a malfunctioning dysfunctional gallbladder so I had bar esophagus I had gird acid reflux so Barett esophagus essentially that scarring of the throat lining so you're basically going to get throat cancer so I spent a lot of time reversing that myself so that I wouldn't get throat cancer and then I realized o okay if I want to stop any more acid problems from happening I need to make sure that I
• 41:30 - 42:00 don't have a dysfunctional gallbladder it just so happened that I was pushing that prep super hard and body bling didn't cause it but it definitely didn't help yeah so you know ever since then it's been pullback bare minimum type stuff but uh gallblader gave out went to go into for the first surgery and because I was so lean I had my shredded glut to like three or four weeks out I was ready to go you metabolize everything differently every supplement every drug everything so the anesthesiologist just essentially MISD doed me and I
• 42:00 - 42:30 apparently crashed on the table and when that happened they were waiting for me to come out and they went out and told my wife that I might be a vegetable for the rest of my life and she's holding my daughter in that scenario and I come out of like oh cool surgery's done and then she told me everything oh my God I'm like are you yeah I'm like are you kidding me you know and then like waited two days or whatever got the surgery done no problems at all um and again I don't blame the anesthesiologist because you're not expecting a competition
• 42:30 - 43:00 shredded bodybuilder to come in you don't have those formulas to map out the equations so like I never blame anything on doctors they're doing the best they can they really are and like in today's society they're overwhelmed they're overrun Co took a big toll on them and it's more The Establishment above them that's not putting the right things in the med school because they have like a day of Endocrinology or a day of nutrition it's it's tough on them and they do a really great job you know yeah I've seen um there was a bunch of people that went to Congress and they had a petition and uh RFK was one of them
• 43:00 - 43:30 along with uh CI means and a couple other couple other people were kind of leading the charge and one of the women that was a doctor from the University of Stanford she said I never took one nutrition class in all my years at Stanford it's like how like just how does stuff like that happen like that is that is com that is completely uh absurd I think like it just sounds ridiculous to me that a doctor um at least doesn't gain any knowledge of nutrition or in some cases they gain very little
• 43:30 - 44:00 knowledge of uh nutrition and probably like a bunch of other things that you could do like go outside and get the Sun and things like that that they don't learn that conventionally at least for a little bit yeah you know because wouldn't that be the place to start you know somebody comes to you and they're they're you know saying all these things are going on and you're like oh my God the person probably has high blood sugar and then you would probably you know say let's get you outside on some walks and let's let's figure out some things that you can do what are things that you
• 44:00 - 44:30 think you can handle let's lower your carbohydrate intake and you'd be able to fix them I'm sure you have I'm sure you work have you worked with people that are diabetic before and all the above been able to help them get off of uh the medications and stuff yeah we've been able to get people off of insulins metformin like all the above and that goes for diabetics heart failure kidney failure chronic kidney disease like every different kind of cancer I've I've been super locky I've been a part of a lot of really cool therapies and a lot of really cool people and it's you know
• 44:30 - 45:00 the fertility side of things like it's crazy to me that I could have that big of an impact in people's lives it's just cool because I never thought like like you don't think you can change the world like I never thought I did I was like I'm just going to be me I'm gonna be happy and I'll just figure life out you know then I got my wife and my kids and you start wanting to be a better person and you want to start helping this world out because it's like that's the person I want to be for my kids and from my wife you know and then you start seeing oh wow I was part of a team that gave this person their life back or their quality of life or something along those
• 45:00 - 45:30 lines their intimacy problems they're now not going to get a divorce and the children are not going to suffer from that and it's just crazy that I could be a part of that so it's super cool I've been very lucky Let's uh dive a little bit more into the over-the-counter stuff because I think there's probably a lot of people listening you know there's probably a good amount of listeners that like taking their fair share of stuff that's uh not over the counter but there's probably a good share good share of listeners that uh you know don't want to make that jump yet don't want to go to the dark side um maybe they don't
• 45:30 - 46:00 like needles or various things um and so yeah what are some things you know people that uh you know want to perform better um these guys both do jiujitsu so like maybe grappling Sports MMA let's maybe start there and we can kind of get into like maybe bodybuilding powerlifting but what are some kind of over-the-counter things I know I know we have access to things like carnitine and maybe let's start even on the side of like things that aren't don't even need to be injected yeah let's start there yeah yeah so the big one um like cisus
• 46:00 - 46:30 quadrangularis that is one you just say cissus because it's ridiculous to spell literally it's q u a d r a n g u l a r i s I think cisus quadrangularis sounds like you made it up sounds like a Harry Potter spell right yeah grow some hair on you or something but yeah so what it does is it actually drives articular cartilage mRNA synthesis so all your soft tissue talking up being into like the Striking kind of grappling based Sports by the way I call them all
• 46:30 - 47:00 striking Sports boxing MMA grappling just cuz it's easier but in that world soft tissue is getting damaged yeah your ankle it's getting damaged so cisss quadrangular is dose that you could dose at a gram two grams three grams it also works the faux proton pump inhibitor so kind of like the big ppi is prescribed by big Pharma but it works pretty dang well so if you do have acid reflux problems you could also use it for that so again everything has multiple different uses you're just trying to figure out what do I need from it wow what about like uh oh good no so in
• 47:00 - 47:30 general something like that will obviously people have different areas that are damaged but over time of taking it it could help repair cartilage so so I'm also curious about this for example it helps repair cartilage so what if some because people like for example deep knee flexion right A lot of people have cartilage that's [ __ ] up in the knee and that that kind of pattern hurts would working out that area through a pain-free range and using that would that help stimulate because you're using more and you have enough Aid and you do that with red light therapy pointed on the area so there's
• 47:30 - 48:00 more mitoch condro action more hemodynamics more reason to say hey push this to this area wow so most definitely and then you could also wrap it you can also put penetrix cream on that area too what cream penetrix p n t r x little white bottle you buy it off Amazon Walmart everywhere it's a blend of like bosia arika basically just all over-the-counter healthy things for you it drives localized infl so dramatically well and the cool thing is it doesn't have a lot of the other negative side
• 48:00 - 48:30 effects like we're talk about some other products beforehand that can have some renal HPA problems if you take it too often or their insets like this is literally just like taking your basic vitamins herbs stuff like that wow and it seems like Jiu-Jitsu and some of these grappling Sports just take a tremendous uh yeah tremendous beating but also just a tremendous uh gas tank you know you got to have really good uh endurance cardiovascular and so what are maybe some things that people can take to kind of help with that I'd say pico2 is a big one so pico2 will drive that
• 48:30 - 49:00 hypox factor type thing right yep yeah exactly you can drive oxygenation up so much so I've actually felt a difference on runs taking that before yeah you got to watch it so I was taking it for a while from my boxing it will start jacking up your hematology P your CBC andrate hemoglobin because again hemoglobin you're carrying oxygen that's what you're trying to get mhm but start getting too high things start getting too high and then all of a sudden blood vcos becomes a problem so if you dose said higher you can run into those problems most people don't but just something kind of mention that's Peak O2
• 49:00 - 49:30 p e a k yeah O2 oh Peak O2 okay sorry we're saying it fast and p picograms uh what about uh because you just mentioned it you know elevating your hemoglobin and having that really thick blood and stuff um mine has always been thick before I've taken anything it just has always been very very thick I think it's due to snoring uh what are ways you can recommend of like thinning that out and making it a little bit easier on my heart for pumping this thick ass blood a
• 49:30 - 50:00 couple way so first of all what were your numbers like you know what your numbers have been at and have they stayed there chronically I can pull them up but yes they've been there forever and since getting on trt they've only gotten worse okay so like hematocrit wise are we talking like 50% 55 60 yes in the 50s 55 yeah okay so technically in the research world you will most likely not be able to get a doctor to photomizer we don't need to go down but if you're like in that 55 56% range
• 50:00 - 50:30 there's no correlation to like cardiac events or risks or anything like that the problem is you get dehydrated doing all the sports you're doing and that ratio of fluid changes and then all of a sudden that goes up to 57 58 like those numbers start changing because you're dehydrated so if you're in endurance-based sports though like grappling is basically in the endurance strength based world you kind of want that thicker blood so as long as your numbers have stayed the same this entire time you're good okay but if you start seeing that up Trend that's whenever you start having problems because again it's
• 50:30 - 51:00 slowly getting worse and worse but if it's always been 55% hemoglobin's always been like 19 whatever your numbers are it's been about been like that for years that's just endogenously where you sit okay but then if you are kind of worried like some of the cheaters out there like ip6 uh so it's an anoco based product that actually has a lot of good work at reversing colon cancer too but that can slowly start to lower your blood count and make things a little bit easier to pump around there's also the traditional baby aspirin in the baby as 81 Mig bed I take it every day for longevity purposes
• 51:00 - 51:30 because it actually allows fatty acids to get into neurological tissue easier yeah my hematic crate's at 55 oh okay and what's everything else for rbc's uh RBC RBC where did you go where did you go I just saw you uh 5.81 oh okay so you're you're barely in that elevated range okay yeah and like I said it's it's been there forever I can look back at an older one uh just to see but it's it's always had that big scary Red Flag like you got to you know you know and I have donated blood and I've
• 51:30 - 52:00 done these things but again I'm like I'm doing it to lower this thing that may or may not actually be high you know what I mean I don't know what's good what's bad I just know that there's this big old flag right here and I'm like uh let me see if I could fix this and then you start to get well I start to get like varicose veins and I'm like oh my God it's because of the thick blood this is not good this is not good but then you hear about like you know this is a way different thing but like blood doping and stuff and I'm like well maybe this isn't the worst thing ever but I obviously I'm asking because I do want to you know kind of address this thing
• 52:00 - 52:30 yeah definitely and that's so reference ranges only matter for you so we try to treat symptoms or or side effects over reference ranges because if you're doing that if you've never had any problem and your numbers have never changed off that Baseline then you know like okay this is where I just naturally sit you could go the blood donation route maybe not so much to pull down those numbers but because what happens is in the blood in the aluin specifically you start to accumulate all those inflam elory proteins so the therapy is called plasma free will pull that albumen out and
• 52:30 - 53:00 they'll replace it with basically new fresh albumen it's clearing out all those inflammatory proteins so if you can imagine like you're always taking your trash out but you're always leaving it in the garbage can you're never actually having the garbage man come pick it up that's basically what we're doing here you're just it's letting it to accumulate so you go and basically recycle it and if you can't get plasma free it's because it's not done everywhere then you just do your blood donation every you know 52 56 days 60 days whatever you fall into pattern wise and uh you're good yeah so just again so a year prior to those numbers my RBC was
• 53:00 - 53:30 5.5 so from 5.8 to or from 5.5 to 5.8 and then my hematic crit was at 52 and then it jumped up to that 55 okay so there's a clear elevation then MH yeah so it hasn't been stagnant then okay so in that scenario that's when you are bringing in like a gram of ip6 usually morning noon and night that'll start to Chate a lot of those irons I to bring down your overall hematology panel if you would also actually start mouth breathing more so when you exercise if you're very energetically efficient your
• 53:30 - 54:00 nasal breathing that anytime you're like maximally exerting yourself you have someone in a hold or whatever you hold that breath just you know autonomously it contracts your spleen that contractions the spleen then dumps out aath potin and red blood cells so just the simple fact of nasal breathing just because you're energetically fit is also going to drive up a lot of that hematology panel as a whole so blood's getting thicker cuz you're getting more energy efficient so you actually want to start wasting carbon dioxide and start
• 54:00 - 54:30 mouth breathing more and the usual Dogma is you want to nasal breathe more right but in What scenario in this kind of scenario I'd probably start mouth breathing when you train like not like crazy but from now on like openly open mouth like start driving that process just to waste some carbon dioxide and to stop having that spleen contract so much got it for years on this podcast we've been talking about the benefit of barefoot shoes and these are the shoes I used to use back in like 2017 2018 my old BC cons they are flat but they're not very wide and they're very stiff and
• 54:30 - 55:00 they don't move that's why we've been partnering with and we've been using Vivo barefoot shoes these are the modus strength shoe because not only are they wide I have wide ass feet and so do we here on the podcast especially as our feet have gotten stronger but they're flexible so when you're doing certain movements like let's say you're doing jumping or you're doing split squats or you're doing movements where your toes need to flex and move your feet are able to do that and perform in this shoe allowing them to get stronger over time and obviously they're flexible so your foot's allowed to be a foot and when
• 55:00 - 55:30 you're doing all types of exercise your feet will get stronger improving your ability to move Andrew how can they get their hands on these yes head to Vivo barefoot.com powerproject and enter the code that you see on screen to save 20% off your entire order again that's at viob barfoot.co.nz this device [ __ ] it's in my it's in there I
• 55:30 - 56:00 can pull up that video without sound if you can that'd be great I wonder if this would actually be beneficial I use it a lot um so it's a device that you put on your mouth and you you'll have to inhale and exhale through your mouth one side has a little flap where you forcefully exhale right and then one side has a hole that you can grade in size and then the level one is this tiny hole so what happens is when you start working with that your inhales will take you to 25 to 30 seconds and your exhales will take 2 seconds and then like when you work up
• 56:00 - 56:30 to the tiniest hole right so you're taking like maybe two breaths a minute sharp exhale 30 second inhale through the mouth would this be beneficial for this type of scenario because what I've noticed is as I've gotten better you almost feel like this panicking sense in your heart for but then it goes away right so so yeah what do you think this could be beneficial for that and this is the device on screen right here actually yeah I used thater used it used it my C plunge yeah oh that's a good combo yeah that's cool it's it's meant to uh
• 56:30 - 57:00 improve your like um improve the function of your like respiratory muscles your diaphragm and your lungs it's meant to do that yeah cuz you're trying to you're trying to bring from the the lower lungs you're trying to get that blood circulation you bring upper chest like not doing anything you're just wasting carbon dioxide yeah yeah yeah so I don't think this video shows me using it but I mean it's just it shows the reference I have to check that out yeah it sounds like in application in theory that should work out awesomely yeah okay what are some things that uh maybe
• 57:00 - 57:30 someone can do just to just to improve red light therapy cold plunge because those are things that we regularly do and promote so we've already talked about the methylene blue right and how that will potenti you can uh dump on more information on that what is methylene blue so if we look at you know the die of methylene blue you know it's technically it can be actually administered because I did my own research just to make sure like women could take it it can be mised in pregnant women but we want to try and avoid that anyway but either way look at
• 57:30 - 58:00 its usage in history and then see how it's been kind of changed off label and now we start seeing the underlying mechanism be just becom a lot more clear so if we look at those electron transport chains might a conture base stuff we're displacing oxygen hydrogen we're just basically pushing more energy so we're essentially allowing our bodies to create more energy we are driving up an overall management of oxidation as a whole because it's that hormetic stressor where it's basically saying hey there's an insult to your body there's a pathogen uh mitochondria fire send all
• 58:00 - 58:30 your best immune cells out there and then it gets there and there's no pathogen there's no virus so it's like oh I'm here I might as well heal this torn bicep or heal this damaged calf or whatever so overall methylene blue also works as an antimicrobial antiviral so I told you like when I'm traveling now I'm starting to take that just to make sure I'm not getting sick you know so it does so many different things so depending on how you're trying to apply it's going change the dosage so you can even use as low as 1 milligram in red light therapy
• 58:30 - 59:00 if you're trying to get the energetic changes because in red light therapy it's also weakening adipocytes so those fat cells are going to get weaker they're going to dump more triglycerides out into the bloodstream so I'll do certain protocols with individuals where it'd be like Vaso burn on an area so Matt Porter's old product with the capsacin and yiman which works awesome for localized fat loss burns like heck got to make sure you don't get on your genitalia I used it one time and stopped cuz it got to the wrong area and it terrible but uh you would use your Vaso burn You' take your methylene blue and
• 59:00 - 59:30 then you'd stand in front of that red light therapy you know for that five or 10 minutes to start getting the localized fat loss you also it also bleeds over into the systemic world so you start getting better neurochemistry you start getting better energy production and it's kind of like the overall cool player to go ahead and potentiate your methylene blue OB doing that with red light you could also do that with sunlight correct y same thing basically uh I mean not really but there they have some differences um and then what about cold plunging cold plunging is a tough one I actually like for that modality usually just to
• 59:30 - 60:00 stay that modality if we look at what it does for most people that massively sympathetic response and then pulling it back down and managing inflammation so well although there's things you can add to it I usually like that as being a solo therapy because with that a lot of people get a lot of central nervous system strain just worrying about working up like I can't do it because I I like I like the snow but I hate the cold I can't be in cold water so like I would build up myself I'd like start hyperventilating I'm just bleeding ATP I'm just wasting all of my central
• 60:00 - 60:30 nervous system on worrying about that yeah so usually it's like think less about it don't have a retro before you get in get in if you're that person Alex I have a question for you because again that's that's a thing that I've noticed with um a lot of people about the cold plunge I've heard Mike isrel talk about it he's like I hate it can't breathe in it blah blah blah but it's a it's a learned thing to learn how to because like I've been using it for a while that I can get in and immediately come down to breathe and breath slow but but that's that's the thing I wonder it takes a while to get there but there
• 60:30 - 61:00 has to be a central nervous system benefit there if it doesn't end up stressing you out right oh I agree yeah I just it's something I don't want to learn honestly okay but it does like if I would force myself through it it would only be a benefit to me it really would I'm just kind of I just honestly don't want to have you tried it no I I refuseed to try it that cry therapy and I've had thousands of people do all these therapies cuz they work so well and honestly in like five or years I know I'm going to be doing it but I wonder if you babied yourself into it and you went from like hot to cold like
• 61:00 - 61:30 maybe it would not be as if you go from like a sauna or something it's like it's so much easier yeah I'll probably to do that it's really not it's really not it's not even that it's not bad it's just actually makes you just feel amazing yeah it just feels like uh like you're a little kid and you just put your jams on and your parents tuck you into bed yeah no seriously though like that that's what everyone says like feel so calm and relaxed afterwards feel like a new person like really recovered from all the different [ __ ] you might have done that day and see it's it's also
• 61:30 - 62:00 tough for me the reason why I haven't forced myself to do that is because I have my recovery down to a t so like I can get it's crazy but like I can literally get so much neurological recovery emotionally just by being with my wife for five or 10 minutes and looking in her eyes or holding and playing with my kids so it's like from the emotional and central nervous system they're my recovery they really are if I have any kind of myological like muscular physical kind of recovery it's usually calories or something else I'm trying to drive up that recovery or sleep or sleep on both sides there
• 62:00 - 62:30 there's obviously another thing I'm curious your thoughts on it you know so many people talk about the uh how it inhibits inflammation so so if you're a lifter it inhibits the benefits that you're getting from training right um so if somebody does like that modality but they don't want it to inhibit their training too much how would you suggest that they use it if it's something they like or would you tell them not to use it I would say definitely use it either use it on only rest days or just away from the workout perimeter if you look at that inflammatory process of hypertrophy or adaptation for any
• 62:30 - 63:00 athlete out there doesn't matter you don't have to be a bodybuilder could be anyone there's no hard numbers but what I found over the years is if you're giving it three or four hours I mean how much inflamm like there always going to be inflammation but at that point you're kind of Shifting to like the microt trauma the Doms and stuff like that that initial chemical change that fibral change to me I see that more as like a couple hour process so for me if your main goal is Athletics I wouldn't use it 3 or four hours before or after your workout your main weight training session or your main training session
• 63:00 - 63:30 whatever and then maybe you do like weight train in the morning cold Plunge at night or opposite because cold plunge kind of gets you ready to go for the day so maybe you do cold Plunge in the morning training midday walk at night or something like that gotta yeah for sure it's kind of like uh in the longevity Community rap AIS therapy where it literally triggers autophagy but it Blunts mtor and nothing in here's like a light switch it doesn't work like that in biology but it blunts it so that could be bad if you're getting old and frail or if you're trying to maximally stimulate mtor but we're not talking
• 63:30 - 64:00 about taking 20 milligrams every single day you're doing 3 69 milligrams only on rest days and it drives autophagy on those rest days it'll clear sessen cells it'll drive up recovery and pretty much does all good to make sure that you are living a long vibrant healthy life and recovering you know so same kind of thing it's more dosage duration frequency okay we had uh a ultr runner on the show Anthony nuk and he was talking about utilizing auna and uh ketones post
• 64:00 - 64:30 exercise and he felt like it had uh post um post exercise like impact basically almost like mimicking him running even further than what he did for the day yep uh can you comment on that like why why do you think that that's uh pop therapy yeah it works out so well you have the heat causing the receptor uncoupling changes globally so that might be good for the I think you practiced that right don't you get into sauna often afterwards yeah so you have that sauna
• 64:30 - 65:00 drive that uncoupling aspect so moving lians hormones around more efficiently then you have the ketones fueling cellular action which means it's fueling your own endogenous peptide release of every peptide you're endogenously normally producing so tons of different Ketone products out there we talked about that beforehand but essentially doing that posttraining you only have to watch for dropping glucose levels too much depending on the person but it's also acting as a positive nutrient partitioner because of that it's going to start driving all nitrogens all
• 65:00 - 65:30 proteins all carbohydrates all glucose everything into actual muscle cells it's going to start storing more glycogen I have a question on that just because like I I have these uh I have this Ketone supplement I haven't really used it yet just because I haven't been sure about the best context to get the most out of it there's a supplement called Ketone IQ you've probably heard of that um and you know they've mentioned and I know other Gra players who use it but I'm trying to figure out how can I use this so it can be most effective cuz I know it can be but I
• 65:30 - 66:00 know there's time I took it I didn't feel anything so I would assume that has to do with some of your nutrition and it probably has to do with your fast or not but how can you get the most out of something like that so let's take your situation specifically because it's easier when you have specifics so for you as an athlete are you lacking on the performance or the recovery if you had to pick one oddly enough neither everything's everything's no everything's pretty good but it can always be better right right so um but but right now there is nothing that like there's nothing lacking on either side
• 66:00 - 66:30 so when that's the answer we drive the performance after you drive that then you worry about the recover cuz if you recover first you're only recovering so much so driving the performance would generally mean more of a pre-workout pre-training setting so with that specific product what was your dosage what were you taking it's just one of the bottles one of their little bottle things so I think that is one dose some people need two or three of those bottles and it can add up financially for a lot of people but the dose really can come in massively for a lot of people but if you're working up to that
• 66:30 - 67:00 high of a dose you can also use it infrequently so maybe you're only picking on the three two or three days of the week whenever you're really trying to drive up the overall output and then maybe another two or three days you would cycle in like new apep or something like that for mot of CeX function haven't used I've heard about that so much I haven't used it yet that's cool I would say that the uh K4 from Kone Aid is very potent very powerful he got in my bag and uh yeah I use it pretty often and I think um with that one I'm not familiar with Ketone IQ and like the dosages but I think with K4
• 67:00 - 67:30 he could probably take like half and that would probably give what 15 grams or something like that keton if you do half of a cap it'd be 2.5 mil you should be able to F should be able to feel that right you should Yeah question for you guys what what would one feel and because I do a lot of I do a lot of my grappling without eating right before so I eat like a big meal evening in the evening sometimes one or two meals I don't like eating before grappling so is are these things more effective if you go into it fasted or not yes but I think
• 67:30 - 68:00 it'll help you with fasting in a way yeah so it's funny yes but no meaning you'll feel the effects faster which is also cooler like I take my ketones every morning upon waking because I do fasted cardio for 15 20 minutes then I go weight train so to me it's like that's my immediate fuel that gets me jacked up I go out into my gym I have my red light therapy like I'm good to go I don't need anything else but those two products and so in your scenario if you're waking up fasted most definitely if you had a meal beforehand it's not going to blunt the effects but it will feel like it's blunted because you're not going to get that hit like normally like with the K4
• 68:00 - 68:30 variety I feel it like two minutes some people it might be five or six minutes but it'll definitely kick in how soon do you take that before you do your faster cardio right before right before yeah right before cuz I'm using it mainly for that neurological energy driver and you asked about what you feel it's usually that overall sense of focus mental Clarity muscle fires like things fire and function easier it's almost like whenever if you can imagine having like the best cheat meal of your life and you went and had a training session which is good you weren't bloated your vascularity was crazy like that's kind
• 68:30 - 69:00 of what we're getting with exogenous ketones if you're responding well to them and if you're not it's usually a dosage problem if it's not that try a different product okay because I don't believe there is a bad exogenous Ketone product out there it's more which do you respond better to because some people need the Ketone salts some people don't they want the K4 variety you know and then depends why you're using it too but got a trial and error pretty much got excited yeah I haven't used like I I used one a long time ago I didn't feel it so I was like whatever but I have a bunch and I've T I'm going to use it in
• 69:00 - 69:30 the way you talk uh different too like you may not like feel it like it might not be anything real crazy um but you might feel it in the way that you feel the difference between having hydration and not having hydration yeah you yeah just like a different level of focus and that's yeah it's almost like um you die out slower rather than you have like a burst of energy that's crazy the gas tank gets a little bigger yeah gotta you combine that with your creatine your pico to your red light therapy you're going to be bulletproof I have a question what do you think about um any
• 69:30 - 70:00 type of beet supplements powders and or you know eating actual beats a lot of people talk about that for cardio yeah the nitric oxide benefits that just ability to handle more oxygen caring capacity of the blood yeah awesome all of them are awesome okay you know and all of the basic nitric oxide supplements the different nitrate products the different citrines like they are all so awesome I feel like today at least I think a lot of people basically are still like they're sing me supplement and there a lot of it's garbage and trash I think it's the opposite we have so many options with
• 70:00 - 70:30 over the counter supplement it's awesome and they all works so well it's more do you need everything because we can have like into your house it looks like my house where there's a thousand bottles and it's like I'm not using these all the time but you know I got everything on hand if I need it yeah you know but it's easy to get caught up in that trap of oh I'm gonna fix this problem and that problem that problem and then you like I have a little supplement dish and then it gets filled to the top you're like I got to pull back I'm doing something wrong yeah so I'm on the other
• 70:30 - 71:00 side of things so like for for me Jiu-Jitsu I'm not as efficient as in SEMA so I do need that recovery side to to get a little bit better because like one session obviously uh will wreck me at times I'm trying to be better at that and trying to slow down trying to be cool but you know at the end of the week I'm like man I'm pretty banged up and then you know what do you do you go again and again and again and you just kind of end up hurting yourself so how about um you know ketones for Recovery ketones post-workout but now we would
• 71:00 - 71:30 use cold plunge therapy because in this world you have an excessive amount of damage inflammation oxidation so there's only so much inflammation you need to create an adaptation response once you kind of exceed that you're just digging yourself into a hole and you'll never be able to recover out of that and then your ankle gets hurt when you're driving on the car you know yeah so if you would do that with like your again one or two of the hardest sessions of your week that are like always damaging for you and do if it was the K4 you would probably want to go with a full capsule so 5 mil uh that can do a lot of good
• 71:30 - 72:00 for you mhm got it it is funny though Alex like I've heard so much [ __ ] about like cold plunging within Fitness some people love it some people hate it but you know it actually feels CU I have a I have a cold punch in SAA after I do that I'll do that maybe sometimes a few times a week if I really feel beat up after I get out of that it's like the body feels like it like the fatigue has been washed away yeah it it's wild and like and then I'm like why are people saying this is ineffective like why are people saying it's ineffective I got to push myself to
• 72:00 - 72:30 it now you know you're getting me excited to try it out yeah it it it's like yeah like I'll beat my body up I'll go in there and again I don't use it a crazy amount but I'll go in there come out boom it's like next day nothing well how bad it sucks to be that cold is a thing it does suck does suck but it's exponentially the results are way exponentially way above that otherwise we wouldn't do it like we're not just like glutton for punishment we go in there and we legitimately feel different
• 72:30 - 73:00 and way better when we come out did you guys ever try like a shock te pad I have one yeah yeah I love that yeah you use it why do you use it why do you use it I use it for the recovery benefits so oh God I got too excited keep watch something so trpv pain receptor wise you're trying to hyper stimulate and you'll get super sympathetic and it hurts so bad and then it pulls you back the nails and stuff like that exactly yeah so it's literally like little plastic Nails I have the lowest level
• 73:00 - 73:30 one which one do you have I have the highest level I have I the lowest and the highest level one this is awesome the reason why I love I love you mentioning this so much s h a k TI Andrew is because I look at the shock demat similar to how I look at the cold plunge because initially when I started cold plunging I could I I I [ __ ] hated it before and after right but when I learned how to breathe and slow my breathing down the cold plune it's not a bad experience actually you get in and 30 seconds later it's pleasurable because you're breathing slow same thing with the shockd when you get on it
• 73:30 - 74:00 you're like and then you start slowing down your breathing and you melt into it yeah I start off with it on the bed cuz you put on the floor hard surface oh does it hurt and then you got to roll off have you gotten on your booty cheeks like have you yes oh that's rough back your head too cuz they make that pillow pillow yeah the pillow is really awesome my wife used that all the time yep that's really cool it's great for Recovery huh I wasn't sure about that amazingly beneficial that's another reason why haven't done the cat plch cuz I'm like I like this it's so much easier it's like a hundred bucks orever for the
• 74:00 - 74:30 little mat you know which price who cares but I don't have to overcome any big hurdle of I don't want to be cold right now I love this just getting weirder and weirder like I have a bunch of gravel in my front yard and U honestly that would work when I'm walking outside you know I walk on the grass and stuff to get grounded I'm like I my feet are so sensitive I'm like I should just walk on that gravel and I walk on it and it sucks but I'm getting used to it I'm getting better helps yeah really does getting uh I guess like you know you're you're you know you have all
• 74:30 - 75:00 these Sensations in your body and I think sometimes we're so tense and so tight I think that happens with the cold too I think uh we're like overly sensitive to it and then we also have a hard time regulating our temperature so some another benefit I've gotten from cold plunging and using the sauna it's just better temperature regulation oh yeah I'm also a lot lighter so that helps too but I need that then cuz metabolically I'm always burning swe right now I'm always hot myap on at
• 75:00 - 75:30 night a big F like for years and every time the summer would come around I was always like I'm getting the [ __ ] out I mean I still usually do leave in the summer for quite a bit I vacation and stuff like that but I deal with the heat way better than I used to so I think that the cold plunge and sauna have helped a lot obviously I lost over 100 pounds too and that didn't hurt definitely helped yeah yeah I saw some of those pictures at your house with you and the family you got had that head big old pumpkin head nice and round and now you're all stri and
• 75:30 - 76:00 Vascular yep time to get in shape right so we mentioned uh grounding and you didn't freak out you mentioned emfs and these are things that are I don't I guess we'll say Fringe although to us to us they're not right yeah they shouldn't be I don't know what that is maybe it's just like an a a western thing or whatever it is but with emfs um like can you educate us and our listeners a little bit more on that like you know again that's something that people will be oh yeah I heard of that but then completely ignore it and never address
• 76:00 - 76:30 it I again I know it's difficult if you know your phone well that's a RF but like these modern things that we can't live without like oh well whatever we're I'm not going to get rid of it because I need it but like what are some things that we really like shouldn't be ignoring when it comes to emfs I think with everything it's always use versus abuse because we can't escape our society today I don't think we can really look at what our ancestors did and say we should be doing that I like the principles of that though the
• 76:30 - 77:00 principles of eating healthier foods of eating your Meats of having your healthy fats of getting outside getting sun exposure walking without shoes on like I love all those principles but that's also that hasn't been reality for how long you know so instead we now take those principles and say okay today's society I have to work 8 or 12 hours a day is what it is cuz I want to provide for my family I love working like that's our society but now we have the things like for the blue light so you have the
• 77:00 - 77:30 blocking lenses you have the saffron supplement to act as like that intraocular Shield against Blue Light you have the grounding to basically it's just like electron donation so why do we eat fruits to donate electrons that's all the antioxidant means it's just donation of electrons so we ground for that purpose when we get into the EMF world this is where it's tough because it's also kind of kissing cous with h Quantum biology and this is where you're dealing with all the different frequencies and the different vibrational States and so as you are
• 77:30 - 78:00 changing your vibrational State you can start seeing different processes occur some of those being tumor cell growth cellular mitochondrial dysfunction like any kind of health problem you can pretty much kind of pull back to there being some kind of an electrical and some kind of a frequency vibration based change and you talk about this and again everyone goes you know your tin foil hat like it's not real or whatever because it's so hard to understand a lot of people don't understand it and obviously you know companies don't want to lose I
• 78:00 - 78:30 don't understand it that's why I'm like it's tough It's so tough right so you're change the changing the vibrational frequency so you have your own frequency everyone has their own frequency essentially if we were to able to see the spectrums of electromagnetism around everyone they would have their own there'd be one over there one over there like it's really creepy because if you ever see how kids like look at the world like in awe right why is that cuz they can see those so to them everything is beautiful and then you really want to get creepy with it go over into like the
• 78:30 - 79:00 Gandhi based worlds and a lot of those people and they talk about Enlightenment and what they always say is once you reach Enlightenment you'll never find anyone like ugly or you want to hate anyone everything's beautiful to you every person Every Creature every flower every tree because you can see these you know like I have that same mentality I can't see those I hope to one day and that sounds kind of crazy but like everything is just so beautiful and gorgeous and the kids can see that because they can see those actual waves
• 79:00 - 79:30 interesting so this is where you get into the whole vibrational conversation and it's so tough though because we're exposed to so much we're going to be exposed to our phones we're going be exposed to our laptops computers like everything so to me it's just trying to moderate things you know and like I like how this is actually wired and not Bluetooth because um don't use Bluetooth headphones because a lot of the issues that can occur with that CU you avoid those too yeah yeah I mean it just makes so much sense and I've seen I've had so many people come to me with tumor growths around their ears or in their
• 79:30 - 80:00 ears after five years of different of using like Bluetooth therapies and to me correlation never equals causation but like let's track the patterns like you know it makes sense on paper than you see it actually happening and I would rather air on the side of caution why not just wire it to me it's a simple change you know I remember David Herrera the first conversation I ever had with him and probably the reason why we became friends is he was like he's like diabetes has hardly anything to do with sugar it's a frequency and I was like I need to learn more like I just need to
• 80:00 - 80:30 know more like maybe what he said like maybe I don't agree or maybe maybe I'll find out that that's [ __ ] or whatever but I I just want to hear more like that's so interesting to me and he boils everything down into being like a frequency and you start to investigate and start to look at things and you're like yeah well I guess he's kind of right well it's tough so again Quantum biology wise super deep stuff I barely understand any of it it's something I'm trying not to get into too much cuz it makes you kind of overthink things you know but if you look at us as creatures
• 80:30 - 81:00 we are Consciousness that's essentially wrapped around vibrating strings so if you understand the frequency that makes so much sense you understand that energy basically never gets uh never gets destroyed so you're just passing from one energetic form to another which makes sense but then you pull back to the body that we're encased in and you have to take care of that so although like her hair is so right on that vibrational status there's also the actual physical status the biological status that we can't separate our
• 81:00 - 81:30 Consciousness yet from like our bodies like that's like all right the goal of like a light and everyone's just gonna be like floating balls of light or whatever uh but yes so we also have to take care of this body that we're in because our Consciousness I mean it's not useless obviously but we like the bodies we're in like I want to be able to move and play with my kids I don't want to die I don't want to go to that next phase yet and like I'm not afraid of death or that next phase or whatever cuz whatever you believe in there's always something else there's always something more whether it's heaven or whatever you believe in so to me it's like it's that next phase so I have a
• 81:30 - 82:00 game plan me and my wife are going to live to be 120 at least and then we're both going to peace out together we'll see our kids our great grandkids you know great great grandkids like everyone we go to that next phase together and then whatever happens there it's going to be awesome and we'll wait for them and there's probably be a phase after that and another phase after that GNA go to like Switzerland or something and get killed together probably yeah you know think you can do it there legally I I can't say the joke or sh get mad at me but I always would like to pass in the bedroom with some body part smothering
• 82:00 - 82:30 my face that for me too would be SL for that that would be the way to go it was worth it that's a good joke right is it a joke though it's not like that's the way I'm going to go and she'll just pass on top of me that's how they'll find us you know like how cool would that be like oh look they loved each other like they were having a good time but then you defecate after you pass though oh not the best SC for them to pick up a I'll be watching from somewhere else didn't experience it things go a little south from there you know I would say to
• 82:30 - 83:00 like simplify some of this stuff for people I think it's reasonable to understand that humans are addicted to light yeah we're addicted to light there's people out there that know and understand that they put it in our technology um maybe it maybe it's not evil maybe it's just the way that these uh you know screens are I don't have no idea but um we're addicted to light and the light that we should try to get is the sun you should try to get outside the best you can as much as you can
• 83:00 - 83:30 appropriately for your skin type you don't want to burn and you don't want to you know melt out there all the time um and then I think I think a lot of things fall in place from that because I think the light and the dark Cycles our circadian rhythm um sort of orchestrates our behaviors later on so if you can get outside and see the sunrise in the morning if you can get outside and see the sun go down in the evening maybe that's not always convenient maybe you can't do it every day but you just do
• 83:30 - 84:00 your best to do that um I think that you'll start to find that when you miss it you'll miss it y you'll be like pissed at yourself you'll be like damn I [ __ ] missed the sun coming up today damn I missed the sun going down today and you're right about like things do seem more beautiful when you start to view some of these things and you start to uh prioritize these things CU I think they're things that for whatever reason I don't know where when it happened but we just got so glued to maybe the television mhm and we got so glued to just being inside so much yeah um when
• 84:00 - 84:30 I've traveled to some other countries I just there's so many people outside um and that could be because the placees I'm going maybe because they're bigger cities and they're touristy and stuff so but still but people are just they're outside and they're moving and I just I think that's the message I think we start there and then uh everything else you know kind of Falls in place after that the hard part is it's not sexy it's not sexy to say take a walk outside and get sun exposure or ground I live in
• 84:30 - 85:00 Minnesota it's like okay well just for the couple months where it's nicer go outside when it's freezing I don't know figure out something else or red light therapy like you can always do something but again that's it's harder for people to do something than to take something so it's always what pill can I take what supplement it's never the training the nutrition anything like that so yeah you're right like honestly if you want to start off in Fitness like anyone watching get a walk outside start walking outside getting sun exposure then start tracking your nutrition then start training then start wor about your sleep get all those
• 85:00 - 85:30 things done then go to supplementation then after supplementation you want take things next the next step maybe you go to peptides and you go through HRT clinics or whatever that but that Progressive step should be happening for everyone today it's too common place to just say hey I'm going straight to the end product because I want results now and you're building a house on a broken foundation and then people are having all of these health problems you know it's great for business but I don't like like people coming to me with these health problems cuz I would rather them come to me for different reasons you know cuz I don't want anyone to suffer I
• 85:30 - 86:00 don't want anyone in pain and chronic pain changes people I work with a lot of higher tier people that everyone know their names and they will completely open up and I let people vent to me and talk to me and like it's their safe place because they know I won't say anything it's just about being that friend but it's like chronic pain changes people so much and they're so strong they really are such strong people you know but it's tough if you're someone that's taking supplements or vitamins or anything to help move the needle in terms of your health how do you know you really need them and the
• 86:00 - 86:30 reason why I'm asking you how do you know is because many people don't know their levels of their testosterone their vitamin D all these other labs like their thyroid and they're taking these supplements to help them function at Peak Performance but that's why we've partnered with meric health for such a long time now because you can get yourself different lab panels like the power project panel which is a comprehensive set of labs to help you figure out out what your different levels are and when you do figure out what your levels are you'll be able to work with a patient care coordinator that will give you suggestions as far as
• 86:30 - 87:00 nutrition optimization supplementation or if you're someone who's a candidate and it's necessary hormonal optimization to help move you in the right direction so you're not playing Guess work with your body also if you've already gotten your lab work done but you just want to get a checkup we also have a checkup panel that's made so that you can check up and make sure that everything is moving in the direction right direction if you've already gotten comprehensive lab work done this is something super important that I've done for myself I've
• 87:00 - 87:30 had my mom work with merik we've all worked with merik just to make sure that we're all moving in the right direction and we're not playing guesswork with our body Andrew how can they get it yes that's over at Meri health.com powerproject and that checkout ENT promo code power project to save 10% off any one of these panels or any lab on the entire website links in the description as well as the podcast shown not Hill Sprints tell us about that yeah yeah so changing gears up here so I've been doing hill Sprints for a while I tend to
• 87:30 - 88:00 like to do them with my kids so if you actually look up the wonderfold stroller you'll see what I'm talking about it is like the Hummer of uh basically like carts for your kids you know so you have this huge stroller I'll have three kids in there the total weight ends up being like 200ish pounds and the one hill by our house if you walk it it's about four no it's about 3 minutes so then pushing them up it still takes like three and a half it's hard oh my god there you go
• 88:00 - 88:30 and you can have different oh it's so cool there's a cooler function there is the little canopy you can have one for the winter time so actually encases them keeps them uh nice and warm it's really cool but it is heavy and those tires look as big in person as they are in the picture they are massive you can run over anything W and then you have a weighted vest on too yeah yeah I usually how many sets do you do one oh you just do oh cuz like three or four 4 minutes long yeah 3 or four minutes long it's it's like the most high intensity far end Spectrum glycosis you can get to and
• 88:30 - 89:00 so like I've been trying to be more quality oriented the older I'm getting because it's like you have less time or I just want to spend that time working or being with my family and kids you know so it's like how can I get the most out of this for me I like to do that for the athletic benefits mainly because the health changes you get the better you can manage oxygen like that that's literally why our society is very poor in health cuz no one's hand handling oxy well it's basically called proton electron leak and slip so they're slipping off going to the wrong places basically causing damage and oxidation
• 89:00 - 89:30 so if you can get to that far in spectral glycolysis where you're just it's all lung like you are just wasting oxygen you can barely breathe you get so hypoxic hypoxia is the most basic stressor right because how long can you live without food or water versus Air so if you're going that hypoxic route for health or for body composition or actually if you get really good in that energetic Spectrum it improves how you metabolize all of your peptides hormones supplements so now all of a sudden your trt dose goes from 200 milligrams to 150
• 89:30 - 90:00 or your you know whatever XYZ dose goes from whatever to a little bit less because you're metabolizing it better and getting more out of it because you're handling the energetics and oxygen better and we had a doctor come on this podcast talking about Sprints and its impact on like visceral fat sh sha Oma yeah um so it does you know great stuff for your viscal fat obviously it's is going to do things for like your body composition um the Cascade of a bunch of amazing things that will happen just from doing some
• 90:00 - 90:30 Sprints can be really awesome it really is and you don't like I abused myself last year I was sick like seven times in the year CU I was doing that every single day and if I didn't have kids I'd have the weighted vest and I would Sprint up it I'd come back down and by the time you get to the top your legs are pumped it's like you just did a 30 rep set of squats you know I'd come back down and I would I'd limp down and then I'd get my breath and I'd do it again so I do that two or three times with the vest and then I wonder why my immune system was so tanked it's like ah you were training too much you got to chill
• 90:30 - 91:00 you know so what's your smart frequency then if you if you were to tell somebody to go and start attempting this smart frequency because it'll beat you up smart frequency two three times a week start start off with two start off with one see how you respond I'm still doing it every single day but I'm also not getting sick now so I balanced out my immune systems response but ideally like if I was my own coach I would say Alex stop it pull it back to three or four times maybe don't wear the vest every time that's what I've been doing like I've been slowly being smarter about it cuz I can be unbiased I know when I'm
• 91:00 - 91:30 doing something stupid you know it's maybe not doing the vest or maybe just walking it because even if you walk that Hill it is still tough you get to the top you're still out of breath like and I feel like I am very athletic right now I've never been this athletic never been this healthy and I get to the top and me and Lindsay were like like we're breathing so heavy never gets easier which is also the fun part of it I think that's interesting you know it's uh we talk a lot lot about nasal breathing and it's cool to be able to nasal breathe through harder and harder stuff um but there's something about just getting
• 91:30 - 92:00 yourself to breathing very hard and being in that Michael Jordan stance you know Jordan holding on to his shorts and and I I think that I think it's a huge benefit I I realized from a health perspective that maybe not everyone is healthy enough to kind of get themselves to that spot but that's a great spot to be in if you can handle that maybe uh you know once a week I think would be a good start for of people I agree yeah and like you said don't start if you can't do it like if you are 100 pounds overweight don't start doing the walks
• 92:00 - 92:30 maybe do some low intensity cardio I I always like again because I make up my own terms I call it prolastic cardio because we're looking at the elastic portion of the heart so if we're using it for health-based reasons what we're trying to do is actually get that heart trying not to hit this to be a little more elastic so when blood comes in it goes with it you're not having that smashing damage coming in to a stiff atrial wall or ventricular wall m so prolastic because I couldn't think of anything cooler than that actually that's one of the vocabulary that you've made yeah prolastic yeah it was actually
• 92:30 - 93:00 me and Andy TR we used to have a podcast together and I just said I'm glad that you admit making up words cuz my good friend Kelly stet would make up words and I was like that's a made up word he's like no it's not I'm a doctor and I was like that's a [ __ ] yeah doctor he's right I know he was right I was like oh I got to just listen to him that's funny yeah me and Andy used to have a podcast together and I just said in like one breath it was the first time I said that word out loud and he's like wait a minute did you just make that up I was like yeah and he like
• 93:00 - 93:30 loved it cuz again there's no other word out there to describe it so if you're doing that low intensity steady state cardio for the health people say the heart health benefits that's what it's doing it's adding that elastic nature back to your heart so it has less of a a chance to turn fibrotic or to just have any kind of you know mardio infarction or any kind of damage cuz it's not hitting a wall it's going with the factual flow being sem has been in stuff lately been punching a bag kicking a bag right yeah well there you go um Alex has been boxing for many years right yeah
• 93:30 - 94:00 and as that something you still keep up with I do yeah coming back to me train too much I'm modul it with the hill Sprints because what I would like to do because I could do rounds forever I could do five minute rounds punching the majority of the time because to me I that's a lot of work and you're a big guy what do you how much do you weigh 250 yeah that's a lot of Thursday I was 250.2 and if I keep eating this way I'll probably be up to 260 pretty soon fairly like I'm fairly lean I got my abs I got some veins like not fat and I was the fat kid growing up so like to me this is
• 94:00 - 94:30 lean so I'm happy you know but I'm I'm trying not to get too heavy just from a longevity aspect I'm not trying to chase body weight but it's also like if I get any leaner than I am right now I couldn't keep up with my current workload so it's like the emotional toll that my weeks take me from family to clients to everything I love it wouldn't change it for the world but I also need to operate this way so I can't diet right now I want to but again time and place for everything what gets you the worst Ben and Jerry's or pizza actually it's Chinese food there
• 94:30 - 95:00 you go that's been our go-to lately I'll get like two big nice burritos double wrapped double chicken double white rice bag of chips my lemonade you know it's it's so good and the kids love Chipotle or they'll get like Chick-fil-A like we make it fun we so like they're the only kids out there that're like refeeding every week it's refeed time you know it's it's a Bonnie experience another madeup word so the cheat meals I call them deflux meals cuz why are you having well everyone says when you talk about a
• 95:00 - 95:30 cheat meal they say like oh it's something about the McDonald's or it's something about this that in reality it's the dopamin energic flux you get from eating a food that you emotionally are invested in so it's like oh ref fluxing dopamine I'm not going to say that deflux makes it easier and if you're doing a high carbohydrate you're fluxing glucose oh G flux it's you know that simple could be just snorting cocaine right yeah that dopamine hit right I mean you could you know uh quick question man going back to your uh the
• 95:30 - 96:00 hard workouts you do for um your cardio right did you notice after doing that did it have any effect on your HRV I actually don't track my HRV no like by traditional numbers I love HRV as a metric but it's just like reference ranges matters For You Different yeah some people are amazing at 25 and then when they get really stressed and systemically fatigued they're like 10 so we know that's their range other people I have like like the hundreds and they'll come down to like 200 but they were like 250 when they're good so you find your range and then you know okay that's never recovered but we never want
• 96:00 - 96:30 to look at that metric and say I'm recovered or I'm not yeah assess yourself first what's your bio feedback telling you if you're beat up then you should look at it and expect to see a lower score if it's still not lower then it still doesn't mean very much because you're not feeling it but that can also be the red flag to say hey it's about to happen you know so it's a great metric I personally use my own way to track HRV which is eventually the ability to get your heart rate up extremely high and pull it back down and recover so if I'm recovering like when I first started
• 96:30 - 97:00 doing the hill Sprints or first start doing all the boxing rounds and stuff like that it could take me like three to five six seven minutes to recover from that stuff now it's like we get to the top of that hill and we just keep walking I don't stop it's still hard you know you're recovered in maybe two minutes but I'm not sitting there gasping for air again like you know the Hands-On knees type thing so okay yeah HRV is awesome I think it's just like everything else like just a little misunderstood MH you okay so that makes sense though you podcasting with Andy Triana superb brain right um I love that
• 97:00 - 97:30 dude both of you guys have this crazy ability to retain information and it seems like when there's something you want to focus on and learn you can clear out the noise very well and focus on that one thing you read a thing and you actually understand the thing uh whether it's neut Tropics or any other protocols that you can help me out with because my thing right now it's funny I was actually just talking to Andy about this this morning if I let's especially for
• 97:30 - 98:00 personal development stuff I'll hear something from like Alex horos or what whoever it is I'll be 5 seconds in and boom a million ideas come to mind yeah yeah I stop paying attention to whatever the hell the thing is and then I can't even grasp grasp any of those ideas because they're all coming in so fast I'm like what okay what the what was I okay oh my God it's been on for 10 minutes yeah what I even listening to like this doesn't make sense so it's been really hard for me to stay on track with whatever it is that I'm trying to
• 98:00 - 98:30 pay attention to so with all that in mind do you have any advice or any protocols or anything to help with you know Focus especially with like the memory and information retention tons so first again do the action then take the supplement so the actions could be something as simple as like you ever play the Elevate app uh no it's one of the best apps in the world I think it's like 30 or 40 bucks for your subscription and it's essentially I call them your neurological Reps for the day so it's the brain games there's no research no literature behind it cuz you read the research it's like oh this
• 98:30 - 99:00 doesn't help you and in reality again I told you I was the naturally dumb person my whole life found what I loved and I feel like I'm at least proficient now and that elevate app was a big part of that it's just the daily neurological reps so there's math there's English there's vocabulary there's so many different things and you want to work at all of them downloading yeah it's worth it oh it's so cool so start off every day with that you could do that while you're doing your red light therapy and then after that you can do I mean there's a ton of different things like throughout the day you could use your
• 99:00 - 99:30 non-dominant hand and that's going to slowly start improving that hemisphere connection of the brain so decision making improves higher cortex uh overall higher executive functioning improves like almost everything just by using your non-dominant hand because it's creating new neural Pathways so that's what you're lacking right now you are basically truncated and so your brain's basically not it doesn't have neuroplasticity ability grow progress all that fun stuff so it's like it's this size we want to get that brain volume improved we want to increase how your neurons are growing so if you're
• 99:30 - 100:00 doing all this fun stuff then maybe you do bring in like the Tiger's Milk we were talking about before to just mimetic be the ngf mimetic and then maybe you start doing that and you do super well and then all of a sudden you start getting brain F you start getting tired because you're using your brain more now you're creating new neurons new patterns and you have to fuel that with acetyl choline so your Alpha GPC could come in to just place or acetyl choline or if you don't respond well to that you go to acetol carnitine so the oral version AC seated variation that'll
• 100:00 - 100:30 donate methyl groups the acetylcholine synthetic process so your body endogenously will just produce more acetylcholine okay you said Alpha GPC and then you said aceta choline orally so then what version would the alpha GPC be that is actually want the L the left-handed antier so if you look on the back it'll literally say l Alpha glycerol phospholine mhm we want that that's the actual full product so if you're getting a product and it says that that's the full 300 milligrams if it just says Alpha glycerol phospholine then that's just that's both in antier
• 100:30 - 101:00 so then you're going to be like at 150 should have take double the dose damn okay and see was getting all excited cuz what are you thinking about rope flow too well I was thinking about a bunch of things and I wanted you just like explain to us what is happening on on there's this thing called rope flow that you you saw us doing both Sid cool I liked it yeah and and one thing the guy who uh really popularized David wck he mentioned that it's really good for the brain because the a and ration on both sides of the body both hands I started doing a lot of juggling and I'm just oddly enough in the p in the most recent
• 101:00 - 101:30 months as I've gone deeper and deeper down these rabbit holes I'm starting to have just more and more ideas proliferate and I've just been like people are talking about this stuff being good for the brain and I'm like ideas I've had that I like with with things are just coming so what is going on there and why can this stuff be good for the brain yep so we're trying to do a couple things first of all if you look at like the longevity of our brain if you look at even IQ but actual real intelligence right that's almost directly correlated with brain mass and brain volume like that's been pretty
• 101:30 - 102:00 well documented you go under the hood and you start realizing that there's a connectivity problem with certain people between left and right hemispheres you then start realizing that some people have a mation problem so those neurons the coding around them it's getting kind of worn so connectivity starts to go down that's the Parkinson's dementia Alzheimers which isn't really an amalo plaque problem at all the plaque's actually being protective but that's different conversation people can have all these different problems so all you're doing is literally exercising those different parts of your brain and basically getting them to hypertrophy
• 102:00 - 102:30 because everything in our body is plastic you can change it so you can hypertrophy you can atrophy any organ any tissue any anything and there's no age limit because you hear like certain PE like you hear it mentioned that after a certain age you can't necessarily improve the neuros plasticity of your brain you've heard that before how true is that like what does that mean when scientists are saying that I personally don't believe it because I've never seen that play out so what tends to happen is 30 to 50 years old hits plasmo levels Decline and then all of a sudden brain
