We just got off a 6 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: little chattaroney before we press the go button. Then you've 7 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: been wheeling and dealing with people on the other side 8 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 1: of the world. Am I allowed to say? You're allowed 9 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: to say kind of where you're at in terms of yeah, 10 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: a bit of R and D in your own kind 11 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: of stuff. 12 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I might as well preface the conversation with Yeah, 13 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 2: we're just chatting offline about planning on launching my own 14 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 2: supplement range. You know, that's been one of my missions 15 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 2: and goals from probably like five six years ago. Like 16 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 2: I've always wanted to release my own formulas. I'm pretty 17 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 2: well known now as like an expert supplement formulator understanding ingredients, dosages. 18 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 2: That's what I'm pretty well known for. Yeah, and I 19 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 2: was just pretty much back and forth with some supplier 20 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 2: in Brazil in which we're actually sourcing one of the 21 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 2: herbs from, and yeah, back and forth with like quality 22 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 2: control assessments because this is a this is new territory 23 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 2: for me. But I've got I've got good mentors around 24 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 2: me that sort of tell me like what I should 25 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 2: be doing and how I should be going about things. 26 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 2: And look, I understand the supplement lands the supplement landscape 27 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 2: in particular is a very very i would say, dodgy. 28 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 2: And also like there's a lot of contract manufacturers which 29 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 2: also scam the brands as well. So what we're trying 30 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 2: to do is we're not relying on anyone. We're trying 31 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 2: to like get things checked by third party analysis to 32 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 2: make sure things are legitimate. And yeah, like I was 33 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 2: saying before, just back and forth, you know, trying to 34 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 2: make sure the quality is up to up to up 35 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 2: to par you know, you. 36 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: Know, because there's I mean, businesses is fucking not easy. 37 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: Businesses fascinating and interesting because like say you're good at 38 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: something like back in the day, I was not bad 39 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: at personal training, right, but there were no personal training 40 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: gyms in Australia, and I went, oh well, and the 41 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 1: only reason that I set up my first studio was 42 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: because it was kind of inconvenient, unprofessional and messy training 43 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: people who were paying a premium in a public gym 44 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: Monday night at six point thirty, when you're vying for 45 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: equipment with stinky bodybuilders and you know, a myriad of 46 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: people in an overcrowded gym, and I'm trying to I'm 47 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: trying to supply or provide this high level experience with 48 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: people who are just not just not loving the environment. 49 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: And so then you go all right, well, I'll just 50 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: do it somewhere else. And then you go, oh, well 51 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: where else? And then you've got to figure out about 52 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: how do I lease commercial premises, how do I get 53 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: counsel permits to do this stuff, what are all the 54 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: legal requirements? And then how do I You know, for me, 55 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 1: it was like there was no industry, there was no qualification, 56 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: there was no insurance. I'm like, hmm, well there's all this, 57 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: you know. So there's the core thing, like you're good 58 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 1: at understanding supplements and the impact they have on the 59 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: body and research, but turning that into a financially viable 60 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: commercial reality that's a completely different skill set, right. 61 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 2: There really is. And also you've got the ideal scenario, 62 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 2: You've got your dream scenario, and then you've got the actual, realistic, 63 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 2: compromised no, this is what you can actually do. Like 64 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 2: I've got for me, I've got formula ideas that are 65 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 2: sitting on an Excel spreadsheet that are like if you 66 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 2: looked at them on paper, you'd be like, damn, this 67 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: is really impressive. Like he's really he's thought it through, 68 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 2: he's determined the right dosa Jersey's. But then if it's like, 69 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 2: all right, now, let's see if it's feasible slash. Can 70 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 2: it be done? Well, it can be done, but it's 71 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 2: going to cost you like fifty bucks a bottle. Yeah, 72 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 2: like this many you just need to learn to compromise it. 73 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 2: You need to be like to have a nerdy nerd 74 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 2: brain doesn't work in business. You need then, you. 75 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: Know, well, you need a hybrid brain. Dude. It's like 76 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm stumbling towards the end of my 77 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: PhD and I don't really have an academic brain, like 78 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: I can do it, but I'm more a creative I'm 79 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: more like instinctive intuitive and what you think and what 80 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: you feel. I mean well to an extent, but it's really, 81 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: as you know, it's all about the data, it's all 82 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: about the results, it's all about you know. So my 83 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: personality and my brain fucking hell, and then you shove 84 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: me in the middle of that environment with those requirements necessary, 85 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: It's like, oh, yeah, I need to change, or at 86 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: the very least, I need to develop new awareness, understanding 87 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 1: and skills, you know. So you're right, there's the nerd 88 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: who understands the science of the formula or the formulae 89 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: and the doc and you know the physiological interactions. And 90 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: then but how the fuck do I make money from 91 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: this while still operating with integrity and actually giving people 92 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: something that's not just another bullshit product in a bullshit 93 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: website that doesn't do what the fucking insta star says 94 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: it's going to do, you know, because there's that whole 95 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: that's the other thing. It's like, I feel like, while 96 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: we're drawing the analogy between you know, the space I 97 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: came from and the space you're in now, Like personal 98 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,679 Speaker 1: trainers for a very long time and maybe now still 99 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: have a credibility problem, right because it's like, well, anyone 100 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: without being rude can become a trainer. You don't even 101 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: have to go to it. You can do it online. 102 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: And by the way, you can become a trainer in 103 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 1: as little as twelve weeks. And also, anyone can be 104 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 1: on a podcast like you and me, or on a 105 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: website like yours or whatever. With respect you. I know 106 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 1: that you're different, that's why you're on the show. But 107 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: anyone can say anything and sell anything, right. And so 108 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: for the punter who's got their fucking fifty bucks in 109 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: their hand, it's trying to figure out what's real and 110 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: what's a show. 111 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well it's good learnings. These are like already 112 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 2: I've just taken from the last three days. Even though 113 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 2: when I initially we got the first report back that 114 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 2: said it didn't pass the quality control check. I've had 115 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 2: stepbacks in my career. Did this one in particular, I 116 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 2: don't know what. I don't know what it was, but 117 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 2: it really hurt. It actually really hurt me. I was 118 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 2: really upset, and I was like I had to deploy 119 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 2: all the time. You know. Thankfully, I've got an amazing 120 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 2: social circle people around me, family friends that are all like, 121 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 2: it's all good, man, you get your bounce back, it's 122 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 2: all good. You'll find a different supplier. Yeah, And I've 123 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 2: been able to like kick myself back on my feet. 124 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 2: I think, honestly, doing a really hard aerobic exercise, like 125 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 2: aerobic workout, just like just shook things back into it. 126 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 2: I was just like back into gear after that, I 127 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 2: felt so much better. 128 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: Wow, isn't it like people don't I did not expect 129 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: you to say that, right, That wasn't what I thought 130 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: was coming out now next. But it is interesting when 131 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: sometimes we're going through albeit momentary or longer, but an 132 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: emotional and or psychological struggle, and then you go do 133 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: something which is completely physiological but has a psychological and 134 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: emotional impact. You go, ah, I didn't need to think 135 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: my way out of it. I needed to sweat my 136 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: way out of it. 137 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy. It's just yeah, it provides me so 138 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 2: much resilience. That's why, Honestly, that's one of the reasons why. 139 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 2: About ten weeks ago, I knew that I was coming 140 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 2: up with all right, bouscha biology my brand right now. Yes, 141 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 2: it's it's coming along, it's doing all right. But now 142 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 2: it's like, all right, I'm starting a brand new company 143 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 2: that's starting a brand new supplement line. I'm going to 144 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 2: have to deploy every single tactic under the sun that 145 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 2: I know that enhances my own resilience. And that meant 146 00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 2: that I was not saying goodbye to weight training, but 147 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 2: I was like, all right, fifty to sixty percent of 148 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 2: my training now is going to be aerobic conditioning. Not 149 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 2: so much because I'm caring about VO two max, but 150 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 2: more more about just because it gives, it builds, It 151 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,239 Speaker 2: builds me a bigger cup. I've got a bigger cup. Yeah, 152 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 2: just to put it that way. 153 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it kind of switches on that, you know, 154 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: that parasympathetic response, that fucking calm the farm, let's turn 155 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: down the volume on the cortsole and all that shit. Yeah. Well, man, 156 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: I'm excited for you and I'm excited to see what 157 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: supplements that you come up with. So I thought what 158 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: we might do today actually before we do that. So 159 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,559 Speaker 1: for the maybe thirty percent of our listeners right now 160 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,719 Speaker 1: who haven't heard you and don't know who you are, 161 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: can you just give them rather than me read some crap, 162 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: can you? Can you give them a quick snapshot of 163 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: who you are and kind of what you do and 164 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: then we'll dive in. 165 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, of course, qualified natural path. But I'm 166 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 2: known online as Australia's number one biohacker, and that term 167 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 2: biohacking basically just means how can we change our lifestyle environment? 168 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 2: You know, how do we integrate food supplements, exercise to 169 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 2: maximize our physiological and psychological performance. So Craig, you're a 170 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 2: You're you're a bio hacker yourself because you know, you 171 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 2: understand the importance of exercise. You probably time your coffee 172 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 2: intake things like that. You know which foods impact you 173 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 2: in a good way. So for people who don't know me, 174 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,079 Speaker 2: I would say that, like a lot of my content 175 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 2: is geared around showcasing novel health information that can benefit 176 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 2: millions of people. So that's really my main mission. 177 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, awesome, you mentioned coffee. So what we're going to 178 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: do everyone, this might be one you might want to 179 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: listen to again, maybe even take some notes. So what 180 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: I'm going to do while we've got Australia's best biohacker 181 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: is I'm going to milk the fuck out of him 182 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: and for free, because that's how I roll, you know. 183 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: I mean, it's great, he comes on, it gives us 184 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,959 Speaker 1: all this wisdom. I don't pay him and then he 185 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: fucks off. What a great system of pit. It's a 186 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: bit of a scam. No, hopefully, hopefully it's a little 187 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: bit win win, and we can get you a few 188 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: people on board the boost too biology train. But all right, 189 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: so you spoke about coffee slash caffeine, and I think 190 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 1: I heard you say the other day, I might fuck 191 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,359 Speaker 1: this up, but you really you use your your caffeine 192 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: or your coffee strategically and you maybe only have one 193 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: coffee every two or three days. Is that correct? And 194 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: if so, explain that. Yeah. 195 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 2: The I think the critical point to understand here is 196 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 2: that I view caffeine as as yet another tool in 197 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 2: my toolkit to enhance productivity, energy output, workout performance. It's 198 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 2: there as a tool, but it's not the only tool 199 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 2: that I have. It's just one of the tools that 200 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 2: I know. It will elicit certain effects in terms of wakefulness, 201 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 2: energy productivity, pushing through a hard workout. But then it's like, 202 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 2: all right, well, if I use this tool, what are 203 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 2: some of the there are some drawbacks that I that 204 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 2: I see with this particular tool, whereas with some of 205 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 2: the other tools, for example, the other supplements that I've 206 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 2: used or other herbal extracts that I've played around with, 207 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 2: they can give me the same effect as caffeine, but 208 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 2: without the side effects or without the you know, the 209 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,559 Speaker 2: come down the next day or feeling a bit of 210 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 2: a crash or whatever. So I'm not gonna I'm definitely 211 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 2: not gonna like bash caffeine or you know. If people 212 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 2: are regular coffee drinkers, I'm not telling them to stop. 213 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 2: It's just that my approach is that coffee is one 214 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 2: of many different performance enhancing substances that I've leveraged into 215 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 2: my wellness regime. 216 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: All right, do's and don'ts for people, And again, remember everyone, 217 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 1: these are not personal recommendations. This is not a prescription. 218 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: There's two bullf heads on a podcast chatting, one bullf 219 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: ed and one by a hapa. So again, this is 220 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: just your thoughts, mate. But so I'm full disclosure. I 221 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: have two a day. I have one in the morning, 222 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: then I have one around I don't know, one o'clock. Yeah, 223 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: So what are your general thoughts for the average punter 224 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: out there who drinks coffee every day? Have you got 225 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 1: any doos and don'ts? 226 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean if we look at the look at 227 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 2: the literature, I mean, two to three cups of coffee 228 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 2: a day isn't really going to be problematic for majority 229 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 2: of the population, particularly if you look at the beneficial 230 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 2: effects in the long run, like protecting against liver disease 231 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 2: and alzheimer and Parkinson's things like that. It's actually got 232 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 2: some benefits dos and don't. Well, I would say, you know, 233 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 2: if you're going to be going to bed at around 234 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 2: ten pm at night, you really want to cut back 235 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,839 Speaker 2: on your caffeine intake after three o'clock or so to 236 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 2: three pm, because it's just going to impair your sleep. 237 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 2: Having said that, there is actually some this is nifty 238 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 2: and pretty knowledge that this is somewhat new information. I 239 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 2: doubt any one of your listeners has heard of this, 240 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 2: But there's actually a there's actually a particular herb that 241 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,319 Speaker 2: can accelerate caffeine excretion from the body, and I can 242 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 2: do it very very effectively. It's called router carpene. Router carpene. Yeah, 243 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 2: that one there is known to accelerate caffeine excretion. So 244 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 2: there's some companies that have like the anti caffeine pill, 245 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 2: which basically you take that at around six seven, eight 246 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 2: pm at night and will start to accelerate caffeine excretion 247 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 2: so that you can fall asleep like just like normal. 248 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: Wow. Wow, all right, what about just before we leave caffeine, 249 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 1: two quick ones one Like, depending on the coffee you have, 250 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 1: it could have forty milligrams of caffeine or one hundred 251 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: milligrams of caffeine. Right, So, any thoughts on that, Like, 252 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: what is it for the average punter who goes and 253 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: gets a cappuccino in the morning, a takeaway cappuccino while 254 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: they're heading to the train of the car or work. 255 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: How many milligrams of coffee does that have? 256 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 2: Oh, I can range from anywhere from like eighty to 257 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty milligrams really depending upon the Yeah, right. 258 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: Right, Also next question and then we'll maybe not tea. 259 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: I drink tea. I drink English breakfast tea. I probably 260 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: have two of those a day, and two coffees. But 261 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: it doesn't seem to do anything to me in terms 262 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: of like I don't personally whether or not it's just 263 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: my physiology, but I don't seem to get I mean, 264 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: I enjoy a cup of tea, right, but it doesn't 265 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: there doesn't seem to me to be any kind of 266 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: stimulant or cognitive or energetic impact. 267 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, so what's unique about tea versus coffee is that 268 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 2: tea contains some chemical constituents that a lot of the 269 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 2: time can actually balance out the stimulatory effects of caffeine. So, 270 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 2: for example, if you're talking about you're saying, like English 271 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 2: breakfast tea or green tea. 272 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: Just just your old jiggle and dangle with a little 273 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: bit of skin mill come a fucking excitement. 274 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 2: Well, for example, if we look at we look at 275 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 2: I mean English breakfast tea, it's probably what's happening is 276 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 2: there's a few compounds in there that probably balances out 277 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 2: the way in which caffeine interacts with certain receptors. And 278 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 2: some of those constitution so probably not even that well 279 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 2: discovered or understood yet, but they probably have some what 280 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 2: we call inhibitory effects on the brain. So caffeine is excitatory, 281 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 2: and then there's constituents that are inhibitory. It probably has 282 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 2: some inhibitory properties, right, all right. 283 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: Last one on caffeine. I've spent far too long in it. 284 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: But everyone knows that, understands it. Nearly everyone drinks it. 285 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: Did I see on money or I'm not sure about this, 286 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: so we might cut this out of the chat. But 287 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: did I see you talking about caffeine and brown fat? 288 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: Did I see that? Yeah, Okay, can you fill us 289 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: in on that. 290 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, So for the audience wanting to know more about 291 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 2: what the heck brown fat is, well, brown fat is 292 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 2: actually a good type of fat that like we as 293 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 2: adults actually have on our bodies. We have a lot 294 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 2: more of it when we're when we're a little kid, 295 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 2: you know, when we're on out of the edge of two. 296 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 2: But this caffeine has been shown to increase this brown 297 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 2: adipose tissue, which is brown fat, and that basically increases 298 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 2: your daily caloric burn. So anything that increases brown fat 299 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 2: is a good thing. Another thing that does that is 300 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 2: jumping into a cold shower, doing an ice bath. There's 301 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 2: even some other herbs that can activate brown adipose tissue. 302 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 2: But in general, it's actually a good thing, and brown 303 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 2: fat actually reduces one's risk of various metabolic diseases. There's 304 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 2: actually a good thing. 305 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: And the next question is going to not be specifically 306 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 1: relevant to around seventy percent of our audience, but maybe 307 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: that same seventy percent will find it very interesting icing 308 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,439 Speaker 1: one's testicles, or as you call it in one of 309 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,199 Speaker 1: your reels, icing your balls and you're sitting there with 310 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: another dude or dude's talking about putting your balls in 311 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: ice cold water. Fuck. Yeah, that could be the title 312 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: of the show, I Seeing your Balls. Why would one 313 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,120 Speaker 1: not this one, not this one who hosts this show, wouldn't. 314 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 1: But why would one want to put one's testicles in 315 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 1: ice water? Yeah? 316 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 2: I mean this is probably something that I'm pretty well 317 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 2: known for. They call me the ice over balls guy. 318 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, great, great, Great, when you get a gig on TV, 319 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 1: I'm going to look for that little title at the 320 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: bottom of the screen. 321 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 2: Love it, love it? Well, all right, if we look 322 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 2: at the if we look at the practice, and why 323 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 2: the heck would a guy even consider doing this? Well, 324 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 2: Number one fertility enhancement without a doubt, Icing the testes, 325 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,239 Speaker 2: cooling the testes doesn't even need to be icing, But 326 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 2: applying ice to the underwear actually drops the temperature of 327 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,199 Speaker 2: the testes. And there's a reason why the test is 328 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 2: hang outside the body, like there's a reason why it's 329 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 2: supposed to hang outside the body's bit because it's I 330 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:55,360 Speaker 2: don't know. 331 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 1: Why it's funny, but when you say that that's funny, 332 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: I'm like a fucking twelve year old sometime. Sorry, keep going. 333 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 2: Well, if you look at what happens is when when 334 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 2: the testes are actually when they heat up. What that 335 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 2: causes called it causes heat stress to the testes. Anytime 336 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 2: the testes get too hot or too warm, it severely 337 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 2: affects their functioning, which includes sperm cell production and also 338 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 2: testosterone production. So if we look at the modern man, 339 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 2: like most men wake up, put on some tight underwear, 340 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 2: go to work, drive, drive the car, go to work, 341 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 2: heated seats in the car, you know these, And then 342 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 2: they get to work, they've got their laptop. Sometimes men 343 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 2: sit with the laptop on their lap, which is even 344 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 2: worse because then you've got the EMF cooking your balls. 345 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 2: Double double whammy there. 346 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 1: Okay, I'm never turning on my heated seating. I've actually 347 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: got a heated seat up one of my motorbikes, which 348 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 1: is like just the most unnecessary luxury than anyone needs. 349 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: But I'm not using that bitch ever. Again. 350 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, well, I mean so if we look at that, 351 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 2: I mean, that's definitely going to be having a negative effect. 352 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 2: And then basically what happens is what we've seen, and 353 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 2: I've seen blood work from guys before and after, and 354 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 2: I bear in mind, this is literally my occupation as 355 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 2: a naturopath. I regularly look at blood work. I regularly 356 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 2: look at testosterone vitamins. And I've seen what happens when 357 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,239 Speaker 2: a guy applies us to his balls five to ten 358 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,360 Speaker 2: minutes a day, two to three times a day. 359 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 1: Do you just describe how one does that? Like? Am 360 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: I lying on my back with my legs in the 361 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: air getting my partner to rub my testicles with ice? 362 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: Is that what's going on? If I had a partner, 363 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: or am I just am I straddling some kind of 364 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 1: apparatus and dipping them in a little ball? What's well? 365 00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 2: Fortunately, a lot of companies have caught on this, this biack, 366 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 2: and there's actually specific ice pack ice packs that are 367 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 2: designed to cup the testes, so that actually basically, if 368 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 2: you're sitting down, I will just sort of cooper around 369 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 2: the the you know, hug hug the testes. It's the 370 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 2: jet pack ice pack is the one that's doing pretty 371 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 2: well at the moment. 372 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,439 Speaker 1: Great jet pack we have, well, I have no affiliation. 373 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,360 Speaker 1: I'm sure Lucas doesn't. The jet pack ice pack, Okay. 374 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 2: And then there's also there's also there's also a specific 375 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 2: type of under So what happens is wearing polyester underwear 376 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 2: as well literally causes infertility. There's there's there's actually studies 377 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:51,400 Speaker 2: done in the nineteen nineties that shows that polyester underwear, 378 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 2: you know that, you know, when you take off clothes 379 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 2: and it causes the static shocks you. 380 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: Know, electricity. 381 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 2: Yep, Yeah, that same thing happens when you wear poly 382 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 2: particularly if you've got hairy balls. Yeah, shout out to 383 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 2: the hairy ball brethren. 384 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're all leaning in right now and leaning back on. 385 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: Oh my god, fast forward, fast forward. 386 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 2: That polyester underwear actually creates that static shock as well. 387 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: Best show ever, Best show ever. Okay, and so my 388 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: last question on this, ladies, you'll be relieved. So if 389 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: I you know, if somebody does that protocol, does that 390 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: increase testosterone production or does it just stop the lowering 391 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: of testosterone? 392 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, So this is where there's quite a bit of 393 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 2: debate around whether or not actually has a stimulatory effect 394 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 2: on baseline testosterone. Like I said before, I've seen enough 395 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 2: blood test results to verify that on average, most guys 396 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 2: will see between eighty to one hundred and fifty nanogram 397 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 2: peredest letter increased in testosterone levels after about ten to 398 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 2: twelve weeks of icing, which is it's pretty significant when 399 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 2: you look at it from like the average Joe Blow, 400 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 2: whose testosterone levels are pretty shit to begin with, like 401 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 2: around three hundred four hundred for most guys, and then 402 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 2: it's bringing it back up into you know, maybe like 403 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 2: five hundred six hundred, which is definitely better than where 404 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 2: it was before. 405 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 1: So okay, so mate, an increase of kind of what 406 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 1: did you say, eighty two hundred and twenty nanograms per 407 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: DESO letter. 408 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, on average what I've seen after about twelve weeks 409 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 2: and and. 410 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: Back in the old days, back in the old days 411 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 1: when you were just a thought in your mum and 412 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: dad's eyes, So like fifty years ago, wasn't the average 413 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: dude somewhere up around one thousand? Yeah? 414 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, So what's happened is the reference range now for 415 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 2: in today's society, they've actually reduced that reference range because 416 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 2: the average is so low. But if you can there's 417 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 2: a quote that I say, which is you're not the 418 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 2: man you're grandfather was, which is it's just true like 419 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 2: you look at men today, isn't it funny? 420 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: Like we know that once a guy gets to a 421 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: certain level that it's actually has a you know, a 422 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: negative impact on a bunch of stuff. So what they've 423 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 1: done is they've just moved the normal range down despite 424 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: the new normal being fucking way less than optimal and 425 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: also being like the new normal is not healthy. No, no, 426 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: but but you know, technically they're right because it is normal. 427 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: But as we've spoken about with David Gillespie, who you 428 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: may or may not know, in a couple of others, 429 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 1: doctor Denise Vaness, who's a geneticist about palates and all 430 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: of those things that you understand better than I do, 431 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 1: the impact of you know, plastics and lots of other 432 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,199 Speaker 1: you know, seed oils according to David Gillespie, and a 433 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: bunch of other things, like we're doing a lot of 434 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 1: shit us guys are doing, and a lot of shit 435 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,919 Speaker 1: that's kind of fucking us up from a hormonal perspective 436 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: without even knowing it. Right. 437 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 2: Oh, that's like a really critical, really critical piece of 438 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 2: what I try to educate. I've actually because TRT is 439 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 2: on the rise, I actually developed, like I developed a course. 440 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,159 Speaker 1: Tell people what that is? Made you and I know 441 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: what it is, but what is it? 442 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 2: TRT Testosterone replacement therapy. So basically what happens is if 443 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 2: you go to your GP in Australia. If you're a 444 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 2: guy and your testosterone levels is really low according to 445 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 2: a blood test, like I mean less than one hundred 446 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 2: and eighty I think it is, that that's the cutoff ringe. 447 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 2: Then you qualify for the ability to go on testosterone 448 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,199 Speaker 2: replacement therapy. And that basically means that you're substituting the 449 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 2: hormone that your body is supposed to be making, but 450 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 2: you're just not making it. So then instead what happens 451 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 2: is they give you the hormone as a way to 452 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 2: preserve functioning. What will happen is though when you get 453 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 2: prescribed testosterone replacement therapy, it will significantly lower fertility. So 454 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 2: testosterone is really powerful. It will suppress sperm production, not fully, 455 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 2: but really powerfully. And this is a risk that men 456 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 2: need to be aware of, particularly the younger men. So 457 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 2: it's the young guys between twenty five and thirty five 458 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 2: who haven't had kids yet, Like, they've got to be 459 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 2: really careful with that. 460 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: Okay, so let's we're trying to trying to skip through them. 461 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: But okay, so let's say somebody's listening to this now 462 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: and they are or they care about some like a 463 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 1: dude who's somewhere in the twenty to forty range, who's 464 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: still or any range really, but we're talking about typically 465 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: people that might be wanting to become a dad. What's 466 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: three or four kind of no brain of things that 467 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: they can so I think they're balls. Not drinking out 468 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 1: of plastic bottles anything else on that list. Mate. 469 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 2: Some sunlight exposure like going outside to the sun without sunscreen, 470 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 2: obviously within reason, but don't don't be afraid. Don't be 471 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 2: afraid of getting actual sunlight exposure, like chest exposure to 472 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 2: the sun literally increases testosterone. Really yeah, yeah. 473 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 1: If anyone sees me just up and down Hampton from 474 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: a big pecs on display, I'm not being a dickhead. 475 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,479 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to, you know, get a sniffy. What 476 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 1: can I say. 477 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 2: You've got a medical certificate, you just say. 478 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 1: Just say, I'm not Yeah, this is Luca, this is prescription. 479 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: This is prescription, all right. I tell you something that 480 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: I want your thoughts on. I've been a very I've 481 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 1: been terrible at supplementing over the years, and unlike you, 482 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,679 Speaker 1: not very methodical very you know, I've been probably a 483 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 1: little bit more methodical and strategic than the average punter. 484 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,199 Speaker 1: But if you're a ten out of ten on the 485 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: you know, using your brain and being very strategic, methodical 486 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: and using research as your guide, you're a ten, and 487 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: the average punters are one or two. I'm probably a 488 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 1: four or five in that. But one thing that I 489 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 1: have done consistently, like the only supplement that I take 490 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 1: at the moments, and I've been doing it every day 491 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: for about and you'll probably tell me not to do 492 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: it every day, but anyway, I've been doing five about 493 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: five grams a day is just credit team, which is 494 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: not going to be a big surprise to you. Maybe 495 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: five to ten. But and this is again everyone, not 496 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: a not a prescription for anyone. It's just a personal story. 497 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: But I felt like towards the end of last year, 498 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: so five months ago, so I felt like I was 499 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: almost had low level chronic tigue. And I don't know 500 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: if this is correlated a lot, but my energy is better, 501 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 1: my cognitive function is better. I train better now. I 502 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't think any of that's placebo because 503 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting that. I wasn't doing it expect I 504 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: was just thinking, ah, because I get I get shout 505 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: out to Max's who are very generous to me. I 506 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 1: get all this shit for free, right, and I'm like, ah, anyway, 507 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: thoughts on creatine. For me, it seems to be working. 508 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: And I don't know if that's my brain or the product, 509 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: but Buck, I don't care. Whatever I'm doing is working, 510 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: so I'm going to keep doing that. What are your thoughts? 511 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 2: Creatine definitely works. It's probably one of the most well 512 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 2: studied ergogenic aids. It's funny because if you look at 513 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 2: that word ergogenic, that's literally, you know, one of my 514 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 2: Instagram hand or ergogenic health. And so if you like 515 00:29:55,800 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 2: Creatine's new research is mostly centered around brain like brain health, 516 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 2: and like, if you do a search on PubMed, you'll 517 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 2: see plenty of studies backing even like as low as 518 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 2: one to two grams per day supplemental. Are you going 519 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 2: to get much more benefit if you're taking five grams 520 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 2: for athletic performance and muscle growth and stuff. Yeah, but yeah, 521 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 2: creatine is the real deal. 522 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: People get a bit hysterical. I'm not sure. Does ergogenic 523 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: just kind of mean performance enhancing? 524 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, any any technique or substance used to enhance performance. 525 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: People get hysterical about that. Idea, And I'm like, until 526 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 1: you tell them that, I'll guess what else is performance enhancing? Water? 527 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 2: Yeah? 528 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: Sleep, meditation, you know, like protein. You know it's like, ah, 529 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 1: so turn down the hysteria. You know what else is 530 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: performance enhancing training? Oh? Okay, you know what else? Ice bars, recovery, 531 00:30:54,920 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 1: so breathwork. So the biggest peptide of twenty twenty four 532 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: as announced the other day by you. I don't know 533 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 1: if you just did like a snapshot or you've done 534 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: a deep dive, but I think it's called I'm probably 535 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 1: going to fuck this up. I never heard of it 536 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: till you told me the other day, without knowing that 537 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: you told me Die Luccene yep, yep. Is that what 538 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: I've never I mean, I've never heard of that? Is that? 539 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 1: Have we known about that for a long time? Or 540 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: is that a recent discovery or is the process? 541 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 2: Well let's let's let's frame it. So, first of all, 542 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,239 Speaker 2: maxes that that creed. They let's have a look at 543 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 2: protein powder. Right, Let's say you've got Maxi's protein powder. 544 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 2: If you look at the label on Max's protein powder, 545 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 2: they'll have a whole amino acid breakdown and they'll have 546 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 2: without a doubt they'll have lucine in there, and lucine 547 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 2: is actually part of what we call the BCAA family. 548 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 2: Yeah right, So lou've scene has a lot of research 549 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 2: to back its use for stimulating m tore, which is 550 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 2: a mealian target of wrapromycin, which is like a trigger 551 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 2: for protein synthesis. Leucine has been studied heavily. But there's 552 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 2: a new form of leucine which is actually two loucine 553 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 2: molecules bound together, called dilucine, which creates a peptide. Because 554 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 2: a peptide technically is two to fifty amino acid like 555 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 2: just has to be two or above, and so dilucine 556 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 2: can be used orally in supplemental form, and it does 557 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 2: appear to increase muscle protein synthesis for more than free 558 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 2: leucine does. So if leucine is the trigger for protein synthesis, 559 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 2: one of the main triggers in way protein, then could 560 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 2: you imagine if you add dileucine, which outperforms loucine to 561 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 2: a protein powder. You can just imagine the animalolic response 562 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 2: that you could get from that. 563 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 1: Wow, Max's are you paying attention? That would be good? 564 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 1: That would be good? 565 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 2: All right? 566 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: Let's go again on this is very broad in general, 567 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: and this is zooming out to the macro and zooming 568 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 1: away from the micro for a minute. And I'm sure 569 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 1: you and I could talk about this for a long time, 570 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 1: but let's give it a minute or two, because it's 571 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: something that everyone does know and understand. Fiber is the 572 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: I think we used to get told something like we 573 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: need forty grams of fiber a day for bowel health 574 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 1: or but then you have people who have essentially no 575 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 1: fiber and just live on meat and don't seem to 576 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: die of constipation. Tell us about your thoughts and recommendations 577 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: on fiber. 578 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, So, as a naturopath, if I said publicly that 579 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 2: we don't need fiber, I would probably get a million 580 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 2: letters from other naturopaths saying like, what are you doing? 581 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 2: Like you're supposed to be a naturopath. You're supposed to 582 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 2: support the gut health of all humans across the world. 583 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 2: Because every single realistically, every single subject that we studied, 584 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,360 Speaker 2: every single lectra used to come back and say it 585 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,880 Speaker 2: all comes back to gut health, Like it's all about 586 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 2: you know, if you look at the quality of their 587 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 2: poop and if it's not good. Then there's something wrong, right, 588 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 2: all right? So where does that leave fiber? I personally 589 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 2: do see a time and place and a pretty significant 590 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 2: importance for fiber intake for humans. The reasons that I 591 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 2: think it's important is probably not what the average person 592 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,840 Speaker 2: thinks it's important for. But I personally know that fiber 593 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:53,319 Speaker 2: can stimulate hormones in the gut that control society and 594 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,040 Speaker 2: can help to regulate insulin resistance and all that sort 595 00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 2: of stuff. So in my opinion, and as one particular 596 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 2: fiber that I literally add to my protein powder pretty 597 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:10,239 Speaker 2: much every single day is called partially hydrolyzed guagum PHGG 598 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 2: and that's like fully soluble like mix as well. There's 599 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 2: no taste whatsoever, And it's literally one of the best 600 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:24,759 Speaker 2: fibers for not only reversing IBSC but also IBSD so 601 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 2: constumpation and diarrhea. 602 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 1: Oh wow, So fiber has an impact on leptin production 603 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:37,759 Speaker 1: or grain or both? It does both both? Wow Wow, 604 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:42,920 Speaker 1: that's fucking fascinating. All right, let's keep going. So a 605 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: lot of people are talking about N m N, which 606 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 1: all a lot of people call em M M N 607 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 1: Finelle M for Michael N. Finelle as my mother would say, well, 608 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,759 Speaker 1: the fuck is n m N and do we need it? 609 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:06,279 Speaker 2: Okay? NIMN stands for nicotinamide mono nucleotide and it's basically, yeah, 610 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 2: that's very basic. Hopefully that that's why that's what we 611 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 2: call it. 612 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 1: Men. Yeah, that doesn't test me on that at the 613 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:14,399 Speaker 1: end I will fail. Yep. 614 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:22,360 Speaker 2: So, nicotinamide mononucleotide is basically helps with the synthesis of ATP. 615 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:27,360 Speaker 2: So it helps to facilitate the conversion of carbohydrates into 616 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,359 Speaker 2: the body's main energy currency, which is ATP. So it's 617 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 2: very similar to creating. Now, if we look at what 618 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 2: happens when humans take enimen in capsule form, because of 619 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:45,120 Speaker 2: course we can. We can. We can find this animen 620 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:50,319 Speaker 2: in foods like there's taki, mushrooms, broccoli, cabbage, like these 621 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 2: are foods that are contain quite high amounts of NIMN. 622 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 2: But what happens if you if you supplement with the 623 00:36:56,280 --> 00:37:01,319 Speaker 2: with this, it switches on long jer genes, so it 624 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:05,680 Speaker 2: turns on longevity genes, and it helps to improve overall 625 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 2: metabolic health such as reductions in serreactive protein, improvements in 626 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 2: insulin sensitivity, reductions in fasting blood sugar levels, improvements of 627 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,480 Speaker 2: cholesterol parameters. And if we look at like what what 628 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,800 Speaker 2: a let's say a person has what I call is 629 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,200 Speaker 2: a virgin to anemen. They've never used it before, and 630 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 2: they take a high quality ANEMEN and they use it 631 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:34,279 Speaker 2: for the first time ever. Most people report improvements in 632 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:40,279 Speaker 2: general energy, like general energy and that's like very very 633 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 2: minimal side effects. Like yeah, so it's a it's got 634 00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 2: a great safety profile and its completely it's probably worth 635 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 2: that NIMAN supplement in space probably worth over one hundred 636 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:55,840 Speaker 2: it's probably worth over I don't know, seven hundred million 637 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 2: dollars in the US, that's my guess. 638 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:03,319 Speaker 1: Wow. And so somebody like me, who I'm an an 639 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 1: MM virgin That could also be the title of the 640 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:11,120 Speaker 1: show what. And again this is just this is not 641 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 1: a prescription because you've done no blood work and all that. 642 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,759 Speaker 1: But what is an indicative kind of dose that I 643 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:17,480 Speaker 1: would start on? 644 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 2: So as a beginner, I would start on five hundred 645 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,080 Speaker 2: milligrams of venomen in. 646 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,880 Speaker 1: The morning, right and just once a day. 647 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:31,320 Speaker 2: Yep, Well, just just to start with and then gauging 648 00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,799 Speaker 2: how you respond if your sleep's affected or whatever, then yeah, 649 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,880 Speaker 2: just you can go up to a gram that's fine. 650 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,279 Speaker 1: Now another supplement that a lot of people take. This 651 00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,760 Speaker 1: is great, by the way, I love just banging questions 652 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 1: at you. Another supplement that a lot of people take, 653 00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 1: by the way, Lucas's instagram is ergagetic underscore health, ergogenic 654 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 1: underscore health, and his business has boost a biology. So 655 00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,719 Speaker 1: get the fuck on board the Lucas train. A lot 656 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:05,839 Speaker 1: of people takeesium. Yeah, but also I heard you say 657 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:12,279 Speaker 1: that potentially some people wake up groggy and a little 658 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,560 Speaker 1: bit lethargic as a consequence. Not everyone, of course, but 659 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,440 Speaker 1: it has the potential to do that. Just unpack that 660 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 1: if you would. 661 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. So this comes back to a really important principle 662 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,759 Speaker 2: when we're looking at different supplements, is that individual response. 663 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,840 Speaker 2: Like there's going to be fluctuations in how you respond 664 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,440 Speaker 2: versus how I respond, versus how Jack responds versus our 665 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:37,400 Speaker 2: Sarah response, like all that sort of stuff. So magnesium, 666 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:42,399 Speaker 2: if you have low baseline levels of cortisol and you're 667 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:46,520 Speaker 2: taking a whopping dose of magnesium before bed, it's definitely 668 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 2: gonna shut you down and help you sleep. But sometimes 669 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:53,759 Speaker 2: what can happen is the magnesium still lingering in the 670 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,719 Speaker 2: body the following day, and that can make it a 671 00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:58,680 Speaker 2: little bit difficult for people to wake up and just 672 00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,839 Speaker 2: like bounce out of bed. So for example, if I 673 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:05,640 Speaker 2: take a big dose of magnesium, it's I want to 674 00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,560 Speaker 2: hit the I want to hit snooze on the alarm 675 00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,320 Speaker 2: clock because I'm just too relaxed. 676 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:17,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I can imagine that happening. I was thinking as 677 00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 1: you were talking about waking up lethargic, something else that 678 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 1: people use to sleep. And no, no, I don't even 679 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,719 Speaker 1: know if you know anything about what. I'm sure you 680 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:36,080 Speaker 1: fucking do because you're you cbe d oil. Now, this 681 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,680 Speaker 1: is a left turn in the conversation. I know, I 682 00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,440 Speaker 1: don't even know if that's in your wheelhouse, but I'm 683 00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,960 Speaker 1: sure you have some thoughts on it. CBD oil, of 684 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 1: course everyone is from the hemp plant. Is that the 685 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:53,960 Speaker 1: right or marijuana? But it's the non psychoactive component. Yeah, 686 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:54,920 Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on that? 687 00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,640 Speaker 2: All right? So I can talk pretty extensively about CBD 688 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 2: because I actually volunteer myself in a clinical study to 689 00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:08,160 Speaker 2: be a participant to receive a whopping dose of CBD 690 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:13,120 Speaker 2: four hundred milligrams. This was about five years five years 691 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,440 Speaker 2: ago now, so basically what they were doing as well 692 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:23,080 Speaker 2: they're wanting to assess pharmacokinetic and safety study of CBD 693 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 2: in healthy humans. It depends to define healthy humans and 694 00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,480 Speaker 2: basically what they wanted to see was the dosage escalation 695 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:38,360 Speaker 2: and so CBD, even though people say that it's not psychoactive, 696 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:43,480 Speaker 2: it's still having a calming effect and it shuts that 697 00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:48,080 Speaker 2: it will slow down. It can have calming properties and 698 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:52,400 Speaker 2: anti stress properties. And in that study, when I was 699 00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:57,640 Speaker 2: when I received that massive dose, I was like very 700 00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,759 Speaker 2: very groggy and very very related. It was a big 701 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:02,520 Speaker 2: dough like you're going to get that effect when you're 702 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:06,160 Speaker 2: taking a big dose. But it really relaxed me a lot, 703 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:06,920 Speaker 2: Like an I. 704 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:11,920 Speaker 1: Half life of that stuff? Mate, give or take up 705 00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,440 Speaker 1: the top of your Head's like, how I throw him 706 00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:15,440 Speaker 1: under the bus? Everyone. 707 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:21,600 Speaker 2: It's probably not that long because even though it's fat solid, 708 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:27,160 Speaker 2: was probably around I don't know, six hours or so, right, Actually, 709 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:29,239 Speaker 2: I don't know. It could be it could be quite long. 710 00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:35,440 Speaker 2: Depends depends on the product. But it most people to 711 00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:40,440 Speaker 2: put into perspective. They're using five to ten, five to 712 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,880 Speaker 2: ten milligrams. I had four hundred. 713 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:47,160 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah, wow, so you had eighty times five 714 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:51,160 Speaker 1: milligrams yeah, yeah, that's that's crazy. All right, we're on 715 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,359 Speaker 1: the home straight. I'm giving you a nine out of ten. 716 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:58,279 Speaker 1: So far, well done. Like you need some fucking evaluation 717 00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 1: for me. Ah. So I heard you talking about everyone's 718 00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,239 Speaker 1: fascinated with not everyone, but a lot of people are 719 00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:09,640 Speaker 1: interested in fat loss. And I heard you talking about 720 00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:13,759 Speaker 1: something called nut grass, which I actually have. I never 721 00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,479 Speaker 1: even heard of it. If somebody asked me, I'd go, fuck, 722 00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:19,440 Speaker 1: I don't know, go and ask Lucas what is it 723 00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,520 Speaker 1: and what does that allegedly do? 724 00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:27,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, so there's a particular website that I was really 725 00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:31,360 Speaker 2: fascinated by when it comes to like understanding different supplements 726 00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:36,600 Speaker 2: and things like that. So not grass does contain a 727 00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:41,880 Speaker 2: few constituents that have anti obesity properties. Now this is 728 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:45,000 Speaker 2: the same for we could look at I would say, 729 00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,799 Speaker 2: what's a good fat loss ingredient that your audience would know, 730 00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:54,960 Speaker 2: Like carnitine, Oh, carnatine is one, Like garcinia. Cambogia's probably 731 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,000 Speaker 2: another one your audience would know about, which basically blocks 732 00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,000 Speaker 2: fat absorption in the small testine. But if you look 733 00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,000 Speaker 2: at if you look at a lot of these different 734 00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:07,560 Speaker 2: herbal medicines, for example, like what they do is. Some 735 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,920 Speaker 2: of them will work by number one, either mimicking insulin 736 00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,319 Speaker 2: in the body, which is which is a good thing. 737 00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:18,640 Speaker 2: Number two, they will either block fat absorption by the 738 00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:24,000 Speaker 2: small intestine, so like literally like a fat blocker, or 739 00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:30,919 Speaker 2: they might also improve caloric burn at rest, so even 740 00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:35,560 Speaker 2: at rest they increase your what we call net energy expenditure. 741 00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:40,160 Speaker 2: And this particular nut grass does have some pretty cool 742 00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:46,040 Speaker 2: preliminary research at least in rodents that it can affect lepturn, 743 00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 2: it can lower leptn, lower cordico steroids, decrease lipids, and 744 00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:56,680 Speaker 2: results in improvements in body composition. So this is just 745 00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,040 Speaker 2: one of the many different ingredients. Another one would be 746 00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:03,200 Speaker 2: fuk x anthem, which is a particular seaweed that are 747 00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:07,640 Speaker 2: some good effects. But as with most supplements, I'd say 748 00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,480 Speaker 2: it's just the icing on the cake. So make sure 749 00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:13,960 Speaker 2: you're doing your cardio, eating well, you know, all that 750 00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:14,560 Speaker 2: sort of stuff. 751 00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,520 Speaker 1: It's not a standalone solution. And it's also I mean 752 00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:23,000 Speaker 1: also it's interesting I was talking to I've spoken about 753 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:28,239 Speaker 1: this before. I was talking the other day to a 754 00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:34,840 Speaker 1: guy who's dealing with an ongoing kind of permanent His 755 00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:36,800 Speaker 1: name is Terry. I'll give a shout out to Terry, 756 00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:43,239 Speaker 1: and he had a bunch of brain operations. And I'd 757 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,680 Speaker 1: probably better not say how much of a particular drug 758 00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:51,040 Speaker 1: that I used once, right for a prescribed drug for 759 00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:56,319 Speaker 1: neural pain. Right now, The amount that I took was, 760 00:45:56,480 --> 00:46:03,000 Speaker 1: I took one pill and I literally hallucinated. I took 761 00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,279 Speaker 1: one tablet. I've never taken it before. And I was 762 00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:09,000 Speaker 1: sitting in my office Lucas, and I've got two whiteboards 763 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:10,759 Speaker 1: in here, and I was sitting in I've got these 764 00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:13,160 Speaker 1: two big comfy leather chairs. I was in agony. I 765 00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,640 Speaker 1: had this fucked back bulging disks pressing on that I 766 00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,719 Speaker 1: was in agony, right, and I took one of these drugs, 767 00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:23,920 Speaker 1: which is for that kind of pain. And I literally 768 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,080 Speaker 1: was staring at the whiteboard, and the writing on my 769 00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,720 Speaker 1: whiteboard slid off the whiteboard and slid down onto the wall. 770 00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:34,799 Speaker 1: Right now, in my mind or in my eyes, I 771 00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,879 Speaker 1: was looking at a clean whiteboard and writing all over 772 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:42,080 Speaker 1: the wall, which I knew wasn't real, like I simultaneously 773 00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,640 Speaker 1: saw it, but knew it wasn't real. Anyway, I was 774 00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,000 Speaker 1: telling him about this, and I told him what I take. 775 00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:49,959 Speaker 1: Now he weighs about fifty or took. He weighs about 776 00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:53,520 Speaker 1: fifteen kilos less than me. Every day, he takes eight 777 00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:58,520 Speaker 1: times that every day. No hallucinating, No, And I'm like, 778 00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:01,680 Speaker 1: the human body is what's my point? My point is 779 00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,040 Speaker 1: that all of these things, whatever it is that we 780 00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,440 Speaker 1: do to our body, whether it's put in a supplement 781 00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:09,840 Speaker 1: or a drug, or we ice our balls, or we 782 00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:11,840 Speaker 1: get in a fucking sauna, or we go for a 783 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:17,400 Speaker 1: run or we sleep, there's going to be unique physiological reactions. 784 00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:21,200 Speaker 1: You know. There's there's very little absolute when it comes 785 00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:23,920 Speaker 1: to this stuff. And the thing that will you know, 786 00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:27,000 Speaker 1: someone can eat a handful of peanuts and they feel 787 00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:30,080 Speaker 1: satisfied and great. Someone else has one peanut and they 788 00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:34,160 Speaker 1: fucking die, you know, because of their unique physiology in 789 00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:37,440 Speaker 1: response to that particular stimulus that happens to be a peanut. 790 00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:41,680 Speaker 1: You know. So I think it's important that while we 791 00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:45,719 Speaker 1: listen to all of these ideas, you know, I'm talking 792 00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:49,920 Speaker 1: about from the listener's perspective now, that we do our 793 00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:54,080 Speaker 1: own research, but also tread really carefully. I mean, I 794 00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:56,239 Speaker 1: think there are some things that we know are for 795 00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,000 Speaker 1: the most you know, if you want to introduce exercise 796 00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,160 Speaker 1: into your life. That's probably not a high risk thing 797 00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,319 Speaker 1: as long as you're not running a marathon two days 798 00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:07,600 Speaker 1: after you start. But just also, you know that an 799 00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:10,200 Speaker 1: equals one thing that I talk about a lot, lucas 800 00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:13,120 Speaker 1: of just just doing a bit of trial and error 801 00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:16,520 Speaker 1: and introducing who was I talking to the other day, 802 00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:23,680 Speaker 1: doctor Bill what's his surname, great guy scientists from the States, 803 00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:25,919 Speaker 1: and we're talking about this, and he said, yeah, let's 804 00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,280 Speaker 1: let's change one thing. Let's see what your body does, 805 00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:33,000 Speaker 1: you know, doctor Bill Sullivan. That's it. And then so 806 00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:36,200 Speaker 1: rather than introducing five new things, because then we don't 807 00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:39,040 Speaker 1: know what the fuck's going on. We don't know what's 808 00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:40,040 Speaker 1: working and what's not. 809 00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:46,360 Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, that's that's that's critical because like there's 810 00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,719 Speaker 2: so many different Like there's like I said before, with 811 00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:53,160 Speaker 2: the individuality the response, and I think the main thing 812 00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:56,280 Speaker 2: is like at least the more knowledge you get about 813 00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:59,120 Speaker 2: your own physiology, the more you're empowered. And the more 814 00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:02,320 Speaker 2: that you're empowered, the more you have control of your life. 815 00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:06,319 Speaker 2: And like who doesn't want more control over the way 816 00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:07,920 Speaker 2: that they show up in the world, you know, So 817 00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:10,719 Speaker 2: definitely important important principles. 818 00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:15,080 Speaker 1: All Right, I want to finish on two quick things. 819 00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:18,040 Speaker 1: Probably not quick, but we could do a whole episode 820 00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:19,600 Speaker 1: on it, but you probably don't want to. When I 821 00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:24,279 Speaker 1: don't really ozen pic, which is like, I've never seen 822 00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:28,240 Speaker 1: a drug get so much fucking press. I've never seen 823 00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:32,600 Speaker 1: or maybe I have, but nothing springs to mind. What's 824 00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:36,600 Speaker 1: your for? What it's what it's worth? I mean that respectfully, 825 00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:38,640 Speaker 1: But what are your thoughts on ozeen pic, good, bad, 826 00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:39,280 Speaker 1: or indifferent? 827 00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:43,800 Speaker 2: So a zempic is a medication that's used to treat 828 00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:46,560 Speaker 2: type two diabetes, so it helps a low of blood sugar, 829 00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:51,320 Speaker 2: but it has some secondary effects of reducing body fat 830 00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:56,319 Speaker 2: and muscle mass as well. So if we look at 831 00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,799 Speaker 2: ozen pik, what it does is mimic the effects of 832 00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:04,240 Speaker 2: GLP one, glucagon like peptide one, which has a really, 833 00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:09,640 Speaker 2: to put it simply, irregulates appetite and it really super 834 00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:13,640 Speaker 2: powerfully without being a stimulant. Because the previous drugs that 835 00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:17,080 Speaker 2: we used to treat fat loss were central nervous system 836 00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:19,560 Speaker 2: stimulants and they would increase heart rate and have all 837 00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:23,320 Speaker 2: these sort of side effects. Thankfully, ozepic doesn't have those 838 00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:30,080 Speaker 2: nasty stimulant properties, but it does have a pretty long 839 00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:32,600 Speaker 2: half life in the sense that if you take it, 840 00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:37,200 Speaker 2: you will notice that you'll look at food very differently, 841 00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:40,239 Speaker 2: Like you'll look at food and almost be like disgusted 842 00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:44,960 Speaker 2: by food. It will make you repelled by food. You 843 00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,000 Speaker 2: won't be able to eat as much because it makes 844 00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:50,360 Speaker 2: you feel full. It will cause something a side effect 845 00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:54,440 Speaker 2: called gastroparesis, which is it will literally freeze the stomach 846 00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:59,040 Speaker 2: so it doesn't move food through the stomach, which can 847 00:50:59,080 --> 00:50:59,960 Speaker 2: be really dangerous. 848 00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:03,600 Speaker 1: What do we call them motility? Do we call that that? Yeah? 849 00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:11,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, intestinal periscelsis, which is Look, I think we've got 850 00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:13,640 Speaker 2: a lot of obese people in the world, Like and 851 00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:17,200 Speaker 2: I'm not fat shaming or anything here, but like it's 852 00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:22,319 Speaker 2: like it's a it is a global issue. Okay, Now, 853 00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:24,279 Speaker 2: how do you get someone who's one hundred and fifty 854 00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:28,239 Speaker 2: kilos to start walking ten thousand steps a day when 855 00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:31,399 Speaker 2: it's when they're really struggling. So it's like, okay, well, 856 00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:35,120 Speaker 2: is that when nozeenpic is beneficial? Maybe because it's going 857 00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:37,719 Speaker 2: to get taken them from one hundred and fifty kilos 858 00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:39,279 Speaker 2: down to like, I don't know, one hundred and ten 859 00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:46,960 Speaker 2: kilos without without huge amount of effort. On the per 860 00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:49,640 Speaker 2: It comes back to the effort side. People just don't 861 00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:53,640 Speaker 2: want the effort. People want the shortcut. A zempi is 862 00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:56,480 Speaker 2: going to provide that because it it will, but it 863 00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:59,560 Speaker 2: comes to cost. You know, people are losing muscle mass 864 00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:03,800 Speaker 2: as well, Like they're literally like dropping muscle mass, and 865 00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:04,759 Speaker 2: that's not good as well. 866 00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:12,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's finish on this. Do you do 867 00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:17,560 Speaker 1: you eat fruit? Do you recommend people eat fruit? Just 868 00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:19,239 Speaker 1: because I mean, there are some people that are like, 869 00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:22,200 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about veggies everyone, I'm talking about fruit. 870 00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:25,879 Speaker 1: What's your And again just an opinion, everyone, don't get 871 00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:27,000 Speaker 1: your nickers in a nut. 872 00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:30,319 Speaker 2: I eat as much fruit as I want. I do 873 00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:34,799 Speaker 2: not have fruit concentrates and I do not have processed 874 00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:40,440 Speaker 2: sugary fruit juices. I literally have blueberries, blackberries, raspberries all 875 00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:44,520 Speaker 2: the time, apples, orange like, nothing wrong with fruit in 876 00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:45,120 Speaker 2: my opinion. 877 00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:51,200 Speaker 1: Great, So no peaches in a can for you, None 878 00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:54,040 Speaker 1: of that for me.
