1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: Gratitude is actually the gateway to forgiveness if you want

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: to forgiven as someone who's wronged you. Forgiveness is about

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: telling them that you forgive them. It's about you stopping

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: holding a grudge that takes energy. You have to find

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: gratitude first for everything in the world. So yeah, that

6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: means finding gratitude for the pandemic. One good thing came

7
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: out of it, even if a lot of other garbage

8
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: came out of it.

9
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: Hello, Hello everyone, Emily a body here bringing you Episode

10
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 2: one forty four of Hurdle, a wellness focused podcast where

11
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 2: I sit down with inspiring individuals to talk about everything

12
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: from their big wins to how they've gotten through some

13
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: of life's toughest moments. On the show, you can expect vulnerability, motivation,

14
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: and candid discussions with everyone from top athletes to aspiring

15
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: entrepreneurs on what it really takes to follow your passions.

16
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 2: My mission is simple to inspire you to be your

17
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: best self, move with intention, and have some fun along

18
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: the way. Today I am chatting with Dave Asprey And

19
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: now you've probably heard of Dave before, but may not

20
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 2: be exactly sure why. Dave is the creator of the

21
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: bulletproof diet and bulletproof coffee. And he's also the founder

22
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 2: of the biohacking movement, which sounds jazzy because it is Dave.

23
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: As he defines biohacking, I got you. It is the

24
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 2: art and science of changing the environment around you and

25
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: inside of you so that you have full control over

26
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: your own biology.

27
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 3: I know, I know.

28
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 2: In today's episode we get into all of that. He

29
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: tells me about a time in his life when he

30
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: weighed three hundred pounds, was a computer hacker and dealing

31
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: with a slew of health issues, including arthritis, which led

32
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: him into learning about.

33
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 3: And inventing biohacking.

34
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: Dave started spending a considerable amount of money on getting

35
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 2: better than he had ever been, and of course we

36
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 2: address this in today's episode.

37
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 3: Not all of us have hundreds of thousands.

38
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 2: Of dollars, maybe even more to dedicate to something like this,

39
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 2: but we do want to level up our health, so naturally, Dave,

40
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 2: he gives me, gives the hurdlers some low cost and

41
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: free examples of how we can.

42
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 3: Do just that, whether it be through things that we should.

43
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: Implement or cut out of our diet, or other simple

44
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 2: tactics like hitting a cold plunge and we talk about

45
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: why freezing your butt off in some water can do

46
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: your body good. He also tells me about his impressive

47
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: career history, how he made a small fortune by the

48
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: time he was twenty six and then lost it by

49
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 2: the time he was twenty eight, and then we talk

50
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 2: about his journey to building the Bulletproof brand and business.

51
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: I love how this episode could off with a beautiful

52
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: discussion on the importance of gratitude, and if I'm being

53
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: really honest, I did not know how this interview was

54
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: going to go, but I found Dave to be so interesting,

55
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: so delightful, and everything he had to say literally, I

56
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 2: was just fascinated.

57
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 3: So a lot of good content in here.

58
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: Dave also has a new book out this week called

59

60

Speaker 2: live your longest, healthiest life with the Bulletproof Guide to Fasting.

61
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,280

Speaker 1: Today.

118
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 2: I am chatting with Dave Asprie. I feel like this

119
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 2: man needs no introduction. He's the creator of Bulletproof coffee,

120
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 2: the founder of Bulletproof three sixty, a multiple New York

Speaker 1: I'm doing really well.

124
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 3: Really well. I love the adjective here.

125
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 2: Well.

126
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: I got two and a half hours of deep sleep

127
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,679
Speaker 1: last night and an hour and a half of rem

128
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: so I'm super charged today.

129
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 3: I love the statistics that we've got going on here.

130
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 2: Fun fact before we get into the real meat and potatoes,

131
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 2: I was actually working at Rodale when we were launching

132
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 2: the Bulletproof diet, so it's kind of fun now for

133
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 2: me a little career moment to come full circle with you.

134
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: Oh you were Were you in that conference room with

135
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: like forty people while I was in there?

136
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 3: I'm sure I was. Yeah. We did a lot of

137
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 3: fun stuff for the promotion of that book.

138
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: It was amazing because I was walking down the street

139
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: in New York and I found this cool, like army

140
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: ranger vest at a thrift shop, Like, I'm going to

141
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: buy this and I'm going to wear an actual almost

142
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: bulletproof ish vest to this meeting, which probably wasn't the

143
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: New York thing to do, but it was fun.

144
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 3: I love that.

145
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 2: I love that, Okay, And then I think a fun

146
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 2: thing for us to do to kick start our time

147
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 2: together here today. I'd love to talk a little bit

148
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: about gratitude because I've heard you talk about it before,

149
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 2: and it's not something that we all talk about all

150
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 2: the time, but I think that in the contents of

151
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 2: what we're doing this year, it's really important.

152
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 3: So if you could just talk.

153
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: To me a little bit about how having gratitude can

154
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 2: impact our bodies.

155
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: Gratitude is the thing that turns off stress. You cannot

156
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: actually feel gratitude and be angry at something at the

157
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: same time, so you can at least interrupt the anger

158
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 1: by finding something to be grateful for. And the weird

159
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: thing about gratitude from a neuroscience perspective is that you

160
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: can actually see the effect of gratitude in brain waves.

161
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,719
Speaker 1: So you can just be really pissed off at whatever

162
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: policy is affecting your business right now or whatever else,

163
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: and then you can say, wait a minute, you know,

164
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: I still have a roof up from my head, and

165
00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: you just ponder it for a second and you see

166
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: it shift and the way your heart beats and the

167
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: way your brain works, and gratitude is actually the gateway

168
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 1: to forgiveness. And this is a part of the neuroscience

169
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: program that I run where if you want to forgiven

170
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 1: as someone who's wronged you, forgiveness is about telling them

171
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: that you forgive them. It's about you stopping holding a

172
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: grudge that takes energy. You have to find gratitude first

173
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: for everything in the world. So yeah, that means finding

174
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: gratitude for the pandemic. One good thing came out of it,

175
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: even if a lot of other garbage came out of.

176
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 2: It, for sure, And I love what you just said

177
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 2: also about how having gratitude can impact your heartbeat and

178
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 2: the way that it impacts that is actually with our

179
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 2: heart rate variability.

180
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 3: Is that right?

181
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: Absolutely, you nailed it.

182
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 2: Ah, look at me go, I'm and I mean, we'll

183
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 2: talk about biohacking, but I have become a little bit

184
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 2: obsessive over my whoop strap, which is teaching me things

185
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 2: that I never really I looked into before. When it

186
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 2: comes to my body and my data and so many

187
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 2: of the things that that you are so well versed with.

188
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: It makes a lot of sense to say, hey, how

189
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: am I doing in ways that I probably don't know

190
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: how to feel yet. And if you wake up in

191
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: the morning and say, oh, look, my biomonitor shows me

192
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: that I really recovered well last night. Today I can

193
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: push myself hard. That's precious knowledge because otherwise, if you

194
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: woke up and you were kind of fried and you

195
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: didn't really realize how fried you were, and you push hard,

196
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: you'll just get more fried. And this is why doing

197
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: the same exercise routine, the same fasting routine, the same whatever,

198
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: every day, maybe you should customize your routine for the day.

199
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 3: Biohacking.

200
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 2: I want to break it down a little bit for

201
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 2: the hurdlers as I love to call them, as to

202
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 2: what it is. So, what does it mean to be

203
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 2: a biohacker?

204
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: Well, when I started the biohacking movement, I really pondered

205
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: the definition, and I came up with this. It's the

206
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: art and science of changing the environment around you and

207
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 1: inside of you so that you have full control over

208
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: your own biology.

209
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 3: Okay, so that's loosely put.

210
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, I mean because it's like, well, what does

211
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: it really mean? It's different than everything else, and it

212
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: is now a word in the English Dictionary, was added

213
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen as one of eight hundred and eighty

214
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: new words. And my name's in the definition. Yeah, but

215
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: they didn't use my definition. They used a similar one

216
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: around some similar stuff.

217
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 2: But I mean, how to be someone that's kind of

218
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 2: you know, you're saying my name is next to the

219
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 2: definition of this, to be someone that's so on the

220
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 2: forefront of this, I mean, how does one even get

221
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,119
Speaker 2: into biohacking? So give me, give me some of your backstory,

222
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 2: how we arrived at being even interested in getting into

223
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 2: this kind of work.

224
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: The easiest way to get into biohacking is to suffer greatly.

225
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: All you have to do is do that and get

226
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: tired of it, and you'll find your way there. Certainly

227
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: I put a name on this practice, but it's something

228
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: that we've been doing for thousands of years. And one

229
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: arm of it is how do I improve myself? And

230
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: the other arm of it is how do I heal myself?

231
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: And most people have some things they want to improve

232
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: and some things that they would benefit from healing, whether

233
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: they know about them or not. And in my case,

234
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: I weighed three hundred pounds and I started having cognitive

235
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: dysfunction in my mid twenties. When my career was taking off.

236
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: I was doing phenomenal things and I couldn't remember stuff,

237
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: and I was at high risk of stroke and heart

238
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: attack and pre diabetic, and I had arthritis that I've

239
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: had since I was a teenager in my knees, and like,

240
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: I have to fix this, and the doctors don't seem

241
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: like they can do it. I'm a computer hacker, that's

242
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: actually my job, so maybe I could hack this because

243
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't look like anyone's going to do it for me.

244
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: So it was that got me started. It was desperation, frankly,

245
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: but eventually I spent three four hundred thousand dollars fixing myself.

246
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: It doesn't really take that much, but you spend a

247
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: lot of money on stuff that doesn't work because the

248
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: knowledge isn't well put together. And then I started spending

249
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: money on getting better than I ever had been and

250
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: going beyond what's normal. And I still don't know the

251
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: upper limits of human life span or cognitive enhancement. But

252
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: I'm pretty happy with where I am.

253
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 3: Now, pretty happy with where you are now.

254
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 2: It's interesting to me as someone who also at one

255
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 2: point I was definitely overweight, and so to hear you

256
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:22,239
Speaker 2: and your story, what if anything specific can you attribute

257
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: you know, the earlier unhealthy habits that you had in

258
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 2: your life too.

259
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,359
Speaker 1: I used to believe that it was it was my fault,

260
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: and actually it was my fault because I am in

261
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: large part in control of my environment. But I thought

262
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: it was a moral failing and it was a hardware

263
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: problem that I had. So it was there were some

264
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: behavioral things. I was afraid of being lonely, and I

265
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: was afraid of being hungry because I'd been taught that

266
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: if you don't eat every six times a day, you'll

267
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: go into starvation mode. And so I had beliefs that

268
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: were not true that informed my actions. And then I

269
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: also had by a lot stuff going on. I lived

270
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: in a house that had toxic mold, and toxic mold

271
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: turns down your ability to use your food to make energy,

272
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: so you get fat. And it also makes you emotionally

273
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: less able to control your emotions, so you act like

274
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: a jerk all the time. You're tired, and you keep

275
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: gaining weight and getting stretch marks, and it sucks.

276
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 3: How did you know that your house had toxic mold.

277
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: Well, I've become kind of an expert in it because

278
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: I did figure this out by the time I was

279
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: thirty or so. It was a lot of work, to

280
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: the point I funded and shot a documentary mouldimovie dot com.

281
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: It's a free thing anyone can see just to say, look,

282
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: this is a real problem affecting one hundred million people.

283
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: It matters. But the symptoms I had, even as a

284
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: kid growing up in a basement that had been flooded,

285
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: was I would have chronic nosebleeds all the time, which

286
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: is a classic symptom, nightmares, joint pain, rashes, and you

287
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: get all these different symptoms from them. And I've interviewed

288
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: so many really successful people who have just been taken

289
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: out when they had a leak behind their dishwasher. Just

290
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: the dumbest things. But this stuff that's highly poisonous will

291
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: grow in your house if you're not watching for it.

292
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: It's something to be aware of, and it's not something

293
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: to be afraid of. It's just to know. But if

294
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: people are saying I moved into a new house and

295
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: I gained thirty pounds and I wake up feeling hungover

296
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: when I sleep twelve hours and my life is falling apart,

297
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, I think you might want to get an

298
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: air test, my friend, if.

299
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 2: Only we knew, and maybe then in that case, like

300
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 2: spending two three, four hundred dollars, which can definitely come

301
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 2: off like a big chunk of change, but on some

302
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 2: sort of an air purifier at the very least, is

303
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 2: like a good place to start if we're talking about

304
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 2: spending money on our health.

305
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: It is, in fact one of the I have different

306
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: companies with different missions, but one of my companies, called

307
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: home Biotic, makes a probiotic you spray around your house

308
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: that eats mold as it's fuel source. And the mission

309
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: for my company is to stop the world's toxic mold problem.

310
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a big thing, especially for kids. It's

311
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: a major cause of Alzheimer's. Dale Britison, in his book

312
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: The End of Alzheimer's says, it's one of the big

313
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: three things that are triggered it. So we have this

314
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: you know, parts per million toxins floating round. Smells a

315
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: little bit swampy in that house. Oh, don't worry. Well yeah,

316
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: I agree, don't worry, but maybe don't go in there either.

317
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 2: Right, And so when you're you know, in your mid

318
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 2: twenties heading toward thirty, you're feeling a little lost. You're

319
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 2: in the midst of this hurdle moment, like, is there

320
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: one specific event that happens that you say to yourself, like, Okay,

321
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 2: it's time to make a change.

322
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: Well, I made six million dollars when I was twenty

323
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: six casual. Yeah, that was that was kind of fun.

324
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 3: And how does one make six million dollars at twenty six?

325
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 3: The hurdlers want to know.

326
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: I was a co founder of a part of the

327
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: company that held Google's first servers when all of the

328
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: you know, the Facebook was still the Facebook and all

329
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: of those companies were just being formed. My company held

330
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: their servers and ran their data centers. And I made

331
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: that six million dollars and I lost it two years

332
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: later when I was twenty eight.

333
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 3: Not an easy thing to go through.

334
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: Oh god, no, that's one of the who top stressors,

335
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: like losing a family members, you know, losing your life's fortune.

336
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: And it taught me a lot though, because number one,

337
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: I said, Okay, I have enough money. I've already had

338
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: my moment of fame. In my early twenties. I was

339
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 1: the first person that's selling anything over the internet, believe

340
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: it or not. The first product ever sold before there

341
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: was a web browser was a caffeine T shirt that

342
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 1: said caffeine my drug of choice. And so I'm going,

343
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: all right, I've tried fame. I was in my picture

344
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,959
Speaker 1: in a magazine. I wasn't very happy when I had

345
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 1: six million dollars. I'm like, I'll be happy and I

346
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: have ten million dollars, which is a real stupid thing

347
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: to think and say, but I did do that, and

348
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: I just was, Okay, none of those make you happy.

349
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 1: And that was a really important learning. But it also

350
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: gave me the opportunity to say nothing else matters except

351
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: for your energy and maybe your health, but really your energy,

352
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: because if you have enough energy, you can make time,

353
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: or you can make money. But if you have time

354
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: and money but you have no energy, it doesn't matter.

355
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: You'll just sleep. And so for me, I started focusing

356
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: on how do I feel? How do I make myself

357
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: feel good all the time? How do I know that

358
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: if I press on the accelerator in my life that

359
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: I can go faster? Because I was panicking. I was

360
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 1: like in a car and you're pushing all the way

361
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: to the floor and it's slowing down and you can't

362
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: push anymore. It doesn't matter how much you try, It

363
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: doesn't matter much you want is that there isn't power there.

364
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: And I just never wanted to feel that again. So

365
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: I said, all right, I'm going to have to hack this.

366
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: If I can teach people how to build you know,

367
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: a million server networks where you don't know what's going on,

368
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: but somehow you control it, how different can the body be?

369
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: And it turns out that systems biology perspective, you can

370
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: hack the body, and a lot of functional medicine has

371
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: moved in this direction. And I just was saying, how

372
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: do I get the neuroscientists to talk to the bodybuilders

373
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 1: to talk to the Navy seals, to talk to the astronauts,

374
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: to talk to people doing anti aging research. How do

375
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: be able to get together? Because what everyone wants, whether you

376
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: know you're like I was when I was twenty five,

377
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: you know what I wanted most? I wanted enough energy

378
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: to do what I wanted, which was mostly, Man, I'm

379
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: going to be really crass about this, when I was

380
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: in my mid twenties, mostly I just wanted to get

381
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: laid and make my career happen, because that's your hormones

382
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: are kind of like that when you're that age. So,

383
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: but that wasn't where I was putting my energy, right,

384
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: But that was where I wanted to put it because

385
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 1: I didn't have enough. And so I just realized we

386
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: all want energy to control our biology. And if that means, look,

387
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: I have an hour and a half commute, I want

388
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: to come home and I don't want to be a

389
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: zombie for my kids that's important, right. Or I want

390
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: to be a good teacher, or I want to be

391
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: an entrepreneur, I want to be a football player, whatever.

392
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: But you just wanted your body to do what you wanted,

393
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: and that's what unites all of us.

394
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 2: I think the difference between you and so many or

395
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 2: just perhaps you know, the success story versus the stagnant

396
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 2: is that you felt this way and then you were

397
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 2: ready to take action. And a lot of people say

398
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 2: I need to do this, I want to do this.

399
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 2: But it's that tipping point, right, it's the I'm going

400
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 2: to get up and do it that so many people

401
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 2: struggle with, whether you know it's a similar situation we're

402
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 2: talking about weight loss or going after a career shift

403
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 2: or a career change, like the unknown is what stops

404
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 2: so many people from just saying, all right, let's make

405
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 2: this happen.

406
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 1: If there's fear of the unknown, there's also just a

407
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: kind of a learned helplessness where you go to the

408
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 1: doctor and the doctor's going to fix you. And for me,

409
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: what really helped. I went to the doctor once and

410
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: I said, I've done a lot of research and something

411
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: really isn't working right. The one thing I've been able

412
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 1: to find out is that vitamin C seems to help me.

413
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: When I take it, I feel a little bit better.

414
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 1: And he looked at me and said, stop, it could

415
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: kill you. Don't take vitamin C.

416
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

417
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: And I looked at him and I said, what about

418
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: Linus Pauling. Now, Linus Pauling took ninety grams of vitamin

419
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: C a day and won two Nobel Prizes, and it's

420
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: pretty well known in the health community for doing that.

421
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: The doctor's like, I don't know who that is. And

422
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: I just realized I'm dealing with someone who lives in

423
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: a different reality than me. And I had been on

424
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: antibiotics for fifteen years for chronic sinus infections, another toxic

425
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: old thing, and I'm just hold on a second here.

426
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 1: I am not dealing with someone who's an expert in

427
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: what I'm dealing with, which is I want limitless energy.

428
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: I want to feel good when I wake up in

429
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 1: the morning. I don't want pain in my body all day.

430
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: I don't want to lose words when I'm trying to

431
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 1: think of things. I want to be able to pay

432
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 1: attention all day long, every day to things that I

433
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: love and then I care about and that I think

434
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: matter in the world. And it's not working right now.

435
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: And this guy has no clue. He thinks I'm lying.

436
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: He doesn't believe me when I told him I worked

437
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 1: out an hour and a half a day, six days

438
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: a week for eighteen months to lose weight and I

439
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: still have a forty six inch waist. He's like, Oh,

440
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 1: that's because you're reading Snickers bars. I'm like, no, it's not.

441
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: It's because something isn't working. Everyone listening to this has

442
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: things that aren't working, even though they keep doing them.

443
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: I just resolve that I'm going to measure and see

444
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: what works. I'm going to do what's supposed to work,

445
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: and if it doesn't work, then I'm going to do

446
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 1: what's not supposed to work. And that led me to Tibet,

447
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 1: to learn meditation from the Masters, to do acupuncture, back

448
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: when everyone thought it was a fraud to try everything

449
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: with an open mind because of what I have to lose,

450
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: I already feel like crap all the time.

451
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 2: Right, So, then, in your steps to both losing weight

452
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 2: and learning how to hack your body, what would you

453
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 2: say became the first light bulb moment for you, Like

454
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 2: I'm really onto something and I'm starting to feel better.

455
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: One of the first lighte bolt moments happened pretty early on.

456
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: I'd already had three knee surgeries, and I was fat,

457
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 1: and I was going to the gym and I was eating,

458
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: you know, a low fat diet. It just it wasn't working,

459
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: but I was doing it because it's what you did.

460
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 1: And I went to this coffee shop and I'm waiting

461
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: in line, and there's a bodybuilding magazine. Now, if you

462
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: go back into the nineties and a farming community where

463
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 1: I went to high school, generally men didn't look at

464
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: pictures of other men in bikinis because the other kids

465
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: would beat you up. Literally, that was the kind of

466
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: school I went to. So I picked up the Magaze

467
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: and I looked through it and it said, Hey, maybe

468
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: it's carbs that are making you fat. And I'm like, oh,

469
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: that's interesting. So, without really knowing what I was doing,

470
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: I took wheat out of my diet because it was

471
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 1: a carb, and magically I lost fifty pounds in three months.

472
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: It wasn't even that hard, and my personality change because

473
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: wheat it can really mess with your head. But it

474
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: turns out it took me another ten years and a

475
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,959
Speaker 1: lot of experiments to lose the other fifty pounds. And

476
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: that's what's happening now in the world of Keto, and

477
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: people are saying, oh, I heard about the Keto diet.

478
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm just not gonna eat carbs. But it's easy to

479
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: lose some weight, the others will not go. And that

480
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: was why I wrote the Bulletproof Diet. It was simply that, look,

481
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: katosis is a small part of it, but you've got

482
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: to not eat the stuff that irritates your body, because

483
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: if your body's irritated all the time, your mind will

484
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: be irritated all the time, and you'll be wasting energy

485
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: all the time. My job now is to have no

486
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 1: wasted effort, to be really lazy where I don't want

487
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 1: thoughts on my head about what's for lunch, what's for lunch,

488
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: what's for lunch. I'd rather think about what am I

489
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: doing next to do something meaningful because I only have

490
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: space for one thought at a time there And so

491
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: it was that kind of a mindset to say, how

492
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 1: do I dialt this since I have more energy and

493
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: I can direct my attention where I want it and

494
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: remove distractions and eating toxins, whether they're plant based toxins

495
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 1: or chemical toxins and all it really does affect your

496
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: mental and your physical even your emotional state.

497
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 2: Taking a break from today's episode to talk to you

498
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 2: about my sponsor, Green Chef, the first us DA certified

499
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 2: organic meal kit company green Chef. It makes eating well

500
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 2: easy and affordable, with plans to fit every lifestyle, whether

Speaker 2: you are keto, paleo, vegan, vegetarian, or just looking to

502
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 2: eat healthier. You know, I love my pizza Fridays, no

503
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 2: questions asked, but ordering Green Chef week after weeks it

504
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 2: helps me to find some balance in my diet. The

505
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 2: other day I made a cheesy pesto chicken bowl that

506
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 2: was literally to die for. And also of note, last Friday,

507
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 2: I was writing an article for GQ about meal delivery

508
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 2: services and looking at all the pricing and all the details,

509
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 2: Green Chef is a bargain, no exaggeration. You can eat

510

548
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 2: the other toxins that you have found are really just

549
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 2: no goes for diet and consumption.

550
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: There are four categories of toxins that I wrote about

551
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: in the Bulletproof Diet. The first one was lectins, and

552
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: since then the Plant Paradox came out, which really focused

553
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: a lot on luctins as well. And lutins are inflammatory

554
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: compounds of proteins that stick to sugars that are found

555
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: in the night shade family, like bell peppers and spicy

556
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: peppers and potatoes and tomatoes. Some people are sensitive, some aren't.

557
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: They're in legomes, they're in grains, and when you eat

558
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 1: those things, they tend to cause inflammation, puffiness, gut problems,

559
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: leaky gut. But you know what, they're a lot better

560
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: than starving. So we figured out we could eat these foods,

561
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: but that was because there wasn't anything like a grass

562
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: fed steak wandering around, or we would have eaten that

563
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: from an ancestral perspective. So the deal is, plants don't

564
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 1: want us to eat their babies, so they cover themselves

565
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: in toxins, and we selectively remove the toxins by peeling,

566
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: by cooking, et cetera, et cetera. But still there's stuff

567
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: that isn't good for us in some plants, so you

568
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: pull out those. You pull out oxalic acid, which is

569
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: present in kale and probably kales, nemesis kales causing kidney stones,

570
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: in joint pain and even vaginal pain, something called bulvidenia

571
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: in lots of people right now, and they just don't

572
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: know it. You get rid of your kale and your

573
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: raw spinach, and magically you feel better, And that's because

574
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: these things evolved so they wouldn't be overeaten by animals.

575
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: And then the third thing is phytates. When you go

576
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: on a plant based diet, your plant based proteins are

577
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: covered in phytic acid, which prevents your ability to absorb

578
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: zinc and magnesium and copper and the other minerals you

579
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: need so animals who eat lots of plants that are

580
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: full of phytates, unless you're a cow with three stomachs,

581
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: what happens is you can't absorb the other minerals, you

582
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: get weak, and then there's less of you, so you'll

583
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: stop eating the plants. It's all in balance. And the

584
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: fourth thing is called mycotoxins or mold toxins, And when

585
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: plants are growing in the field or when they're stored,

586
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: mold will grow in them. And some of these molds

587
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: are very toxic and they simulate estrogen, so they make

588
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: you puffy, they give you extra fat and your tissues,

589
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: and they cause cognitive dysfunction. They're linked with cancer in

590
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of studies, not just a few. So like,

591
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,719
Speaker 1: what if we could just minimize those things and then

592
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: eat the foods that didn't have those And that became

593
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: the Bulletproof diet roadmap, And people have lost a million

594
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: pounds on the Bulletproof diet. So yeah, you can do

595
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: intermittent fasting. I have a new book, by the way,

596
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: just coming out. It's called Fast This Way, where I

597
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: teach people about how to do fasting in a way

598
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: that works. And you want to eat foods that don't

599
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: make you hungry. The things I just talked about, those

600
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: are the things that give you cravings. So if you'd

601
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: like to be able to skip breakfast occasionally without thinking

602
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: about food all the time, don't have that stuff for dinner,

603
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: it's not that hard.

604
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 2: You mentioned your trip abroad, and I'm sure that really

605
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 2: kind of started to shift your entire perspective. So after

606
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 2: a life changing trip like that, how do you know

607
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 2: what your next step is going to be.

608
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: There's something called serendipity where if you get a chance

609
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: to travel and kind it might be a couple of

610
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: years before that happens. I hope we turn travel back

611
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: on because it's important, especially when we're younger. But you're

612
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: not sure what's going to happen, and you're going to

613
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: allow things to happen the way they're going to happen.

614
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: So you don't know where you're going to be next

615
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: week because you're taking a month and you're traveling, and

616
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: you're going to do this thing called wandering, and I

617
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: feel like that's the most important thing. And you come

618
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: back from a trip like that, you can say, oh,

619
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: I've got you know, a job planned, or I know

620
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: what I'm going to do. But you can also say,

621
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: you know what, I was planning to do that, but

622
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: suddenly this other opportunity came. So it's willingness to just

623
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: look around and be open to what comes to you.

624
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: It's pretty incredible. I came back from my trip to

625
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: a nepall in TI Bed in China, and I said,

626
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: I'm going to go be CEO of a wireless internet

627
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 1: company in Hawaii because I want to be able to serve.

628
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: And before I could do that, I got another job

629
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: opportunity in Silicon Valley that was a profound one of

630
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: people I'd worked with before I said, no, I'm actually

631
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: going to do that. I met my wife when I

632
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: came back from that trip. And I met my wife

633
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: not because I was planning to but because I got

634
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: a phone call randomly from a friend who said, you

635
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: have to come to this conference why and she just

636
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: kind of convinced me to come. Serendipitous and I went.

637
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,719
Speaker 1: So it's not just being open, and that's the thing

638
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: a lot of people. It's too rigid, so you don't

639
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: have to know what's going to happen. But you can

640
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: just say I'm going to be curious about what happens.

641
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 2: Right, And so you come back and you go to

642
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 2: the conference, and you meet your wife, and then serendipitously,

643
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 2: do you start to be guided toward this.

644
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 3: Path of being your own boss entirely.

645
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: I've been an entrepreneur in Silicon Valley for a long time,

646
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: but it was always as a part of an entrepreneurial

647
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: focused company. The place where I made six million dollars.

648
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: I was a co founder of a part of the

649
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: company where we started a company inside a company, and

650
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: I'd always said, you know, someday I'll do my own

651
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: entrepreneurial thing. But that wasn't my goal with Bulletproof at all.

652
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: I just wanted to share the knowledge that had helped

653
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: me so much. I've been running an anti agent nonprofit

654
00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: for twenty years, and I said, I think five people

655
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: are going to read this blog, and if it's the

656
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: right five people, it'll change their life so profoundly that

657
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: it'll be like a really high ROI I already made

658
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: a quarter million dollars a year. I had stock options,

659
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: I was a VP at a publicly traded company, and

660
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: I had two young kids. That's probably not the ideal

661
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: time to start a company. And when I started the blog.

662
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: More than two people, more than five people paid attention,

663
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: and it started growing and growing. And then I said,

664
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: I can't buy coffee that doesn't make me crash. Maybe

665
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: I can figure that one out. Maybe I can take

666
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: the ingredients for a bulletproof coffee and I can turn

667
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: those into products that I can't buy. And my whole

668
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: deal was, I'm going to make products I can't buy,

669
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: and it's going to be a small side gig. And

670
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: then I called my friends from Silicon Valley in the

671
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: venture capital world where I worked, and I said, guys,

672
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: you're never going to invest in my company because I

673
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: know I've sat in your partner meetings. This isn't really

674
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: a venture backable company. But you should give me fifty

675
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a personal money so I can buy some

676
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: I can buy some more coffee inventory, and I'll give

677
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: you a good return. And they came back and said,

678
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: how about nine million dollars? And I'm like, and I

679
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: really I sat down, I pondered, and I said, Okay,

680
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:08,839
Speaker 1: if what I have is as good as I think

681
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 1: it is, and it does for people what I know

682
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,760
Speaker 1: it does, and now we have a lot more research

683
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: about Alzheimer's and inflammation, and like, we just know so much.

684
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: Ten years after I started this, I said, I think

685
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 1: I have a moral obligation to go big. So I

686
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 1: took the money. That's what it was. But it wasn't

687
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: about I have to be my own boss. You know,

688
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 1: I'm going to show the world that's what I did

689
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: in my thirties. What this was about was how do

690
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 1: I help a lot of people because I want no

691
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: one to go through the amount of pain that I

692
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: went through in my life. And some of it was

693
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: emotional pain, somewhat was self inflicted, but a lot of

694
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: it was just not knowing the manual for the human body.

695
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: And I didn't know how to eat. I didn't know

696
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: how to not eat, which is why fasting is a

697
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 1: big focus for me now. I didn't understand the neuroscience.

698
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: I did understand gratitude. I'd understand forgiveness. I didn't understand

699
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,399
Speaker 1: having a mission versus being selfish all that stuff. Who

700
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: teaches that anymore? I don't even know. But I thought

701
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 1: maybe I could share with enough people to make a difference.

702
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 2: So when it comes to the coffee, let's start there.

703
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 2: Talk to me about bulletproof coffee and what makes it

704
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:08,280
Speaker 2: so special?

705
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: Well, bulletproof coffee came as an idea to me because

706
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:15,919
Speaker 1: on the side of Mount Kaylash, it's a remote part

707
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,879
Speaker 1: of western Tibet, eighteen thousand feet elevation, ten degrees below zero.

708
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: I'm feeling like crap. And a little Tibetan woman about

709
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 1: half my height. I'm six', four So i'm serious about

710
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: half my eye and she gives me a bowl of

711
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 1: yac bettered, tea AND i felt better THAN i had

712
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: in a couple of, years like this is not even.

713
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 1: Possible there's no air up. Here how could this? Happen

714
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: AND i came back To Silicon valley AND i put

715
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,439
Speaker 1: some butter and some tea and it tasted like crap

716
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: and it didn't. Work SO i bought some real expensive

717
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: tea and it didn't. Work so THEN i bought twenty

718
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: five kinds of, butter And i'm, like wait a. Minute

719
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,720
Speaker 1: two of the butters. Work they're the grass fed. Butters

720
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: they're the closest to yaqutter because they have real fat in.

721
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: Them that's. Interesting and THEN i, said, What i'd given

722
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 1: up coffee for five years BECAUSE i would always crash

723
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: AFTER i had. COFFEE i thought MAYBE i was. Allergic

724
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: SO i had a cup of. COFFEE i felt, great, like,

725
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: YEAH i. Fixed the next DAY i had a different

726
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: cup of. COFFEE i felt like, crap And i'm, like,

727
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 1: ah it's not, me it's the different coffee has different

728
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 1: things in, it kind of like different bud has different

729
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 1: things in it, too and different strains or different. Things

730
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: SO i did the, research AND i figured out coffee

731
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: has toxins that make a lot of people feel like.

732
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: Crap and THE us doesn't have any laws protecting us

733
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: from those. Toxins so when coffee is rejected By, china

734
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: rejected By, japan rejected By, europe it's legal to sell

735
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 1: in THE us And, canada and they send it here

736
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: and then we drink it and then we get angry

737
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: two hours later and want. Sugar SO i decided THAT

738
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: i was going to put in infrastructure to change green

739
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 1: coffee processing and then lab test it WHEN i was,

740
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 1: done to see if we could make coffee that didn't

741
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: have that effect on. Me AND i, THOUGHT i thought

742
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 1: maybe one hundred people would want the COFFEE i was

743
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 1: going to. MAKE i was a little bit, wrong.

744
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 3: Just a little, bit just a little bit.

745
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: Wrong you blend it with, butter and you blend it

746
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 1: with another oil CALLED mct, oil which at this point functional,

747
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: COFFEE mct oil and college and another product that those

748
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: are three major industry categories That bulletproof. Created but when

749
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: you blend it without the, collagen just the two oils

750
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: and the, coffee it tastes like a. Latte turns on

751
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: what the way you would feel after two days of.

752
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 1: Fasting you get a ton of energy and you stop

753
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: caring about. Food that's the big, thing.

754
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 2: Right so then talk to me about how you integrate

755
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 2: The bulletproof coffee into a regular day BECAUSE i know,

756
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 2: that as you, mentioned fasting is a part of.

757
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: It in my new book on, FASTING i expound on

758
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: the psychology of, fasting and there are three hacks that

759
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: you can do in order to allow yourself to, fast

760
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: get the benefits of, fasting but not feel any. Hunger

761
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 1: because it's one. Thing if you want to, do you

762
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: a spiritual fast in a, cave which is WHAT i,

763
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: did a four day fast in a cave all by

764
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 1: myself as a part of writing the. Book but if

765
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: you don't want to go there because you have a,

766
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: job you have a, life you have, demands but you

767
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: want to look, good you wanted to feel, good you

768
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: wanted the. Clarity and you skip, breakfast you're going to

769
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: get hypoglybitchi around eleven thirty and then you're gonna, Like

770
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: i'm just going to power through, it but you're not

771
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,879
Speaker 1: going to be, yourself and a lot of us don't want.

772
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: That so you can use black coffee by itself during

773
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,280
Speaker 1: a fast and you'll be less. Hungry you can PUT

774
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 1: mct oil and butter in it to make it a

775
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 1: bulletr of coffee and you really won't be hungry and

776
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: you'll have more, energy but your fasting machinery in the

777
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: body will still be. Running and if you want to

778
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: do the newest fasting hack that's in fast this, way

779
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,320
Speaker 1: it is prebiotic. Fiber you can put certain kinds of

780
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: fiber into your coffee or into something else and you drink.

781
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: That it doesn't change your blood sugar, levels it doesn't

782
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: change your protein, levels but it also turns off hunger

783
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: by manipulating hunger. Hormones so all of a, sudden eleven

784
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 1: o'clock rolls around on a normal day when you have,

785
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: breakfast if someone puts a croissant or a muffin or

786
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 1: a donut front of. You you're going to look at

787
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: that thing and it's going to look back at, you

788
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: and you're going to have this little inner dialogue about.

789
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 1: IT i want the muffin and they say, no, no

790
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: and then you eat half of it and you feel.

791
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: Guilty but what really happens now is someone sets it

792
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 1: in front of, you this, muffin and you just don't

793
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: care because you genuinely don't want to eat. It there's

794
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,320
Speaker 1: no thought about. It it's just, oh like there's a pencil,

795
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 1: there but you don't need to. Write. That to me

796
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: is liberation BECAUSE i didn't have to use wielpower to

797
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: do something to tell myself not to do something THAT

798
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: i didn't actually want to. Do and that's what you're

799
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: getting with this soluble fiber with bulletproof coffee in the

800
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: middle of a. Fast it's been liberating for.

801
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 3: Me it's been.

802
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 2: Liberating SO i, MEAN i know that you want to

803
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 2: live until one hundred and?

804
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 3: Eighty is that?

805
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 1: Right until at least one hundred and? EIGHTY i don't

806
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 1: want to put artificial limits on.

807
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 2: IT i respect, That but the question then becomes with

808
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 2: this extra, time AS i would, say because as we,

809
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 2: know most people won't get to this coveted. Place what

810
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 2: are your biggest you know what do you really hope

811
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 2: to get with that extra?

812
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: Time, EMILY i don't agree with the assumption that everyone

813
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 1: or most of us aren't going to get to that. Place.

814
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: OOH i believe that we are going to see a

815
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: profound shift in the next ten years in what it

816
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: means to be. Old AND i say this because it's

817
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: already happened and you don't know. It starting in about

818
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety five to two, thousand there was an epidemic

819
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: and it was an epidemic of people who were older

820
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:32,959
Speaker 1: or are elders who are sixty, five who were, saying

821
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 1: you know, what f you. Buddy you can Say i'm,

822
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: elderly But i'm not BECAUSE i still want to, WORK

823
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 1: i still feel, good my brain, WORKS i like. This

824
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: and the scientists are, like, well we're not so. Sure

825
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: so they did something called a grip strength, analysis and

826
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 1: they found that that's, funny people are not as weak

827
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 1: as they used to. Be so in, fact it was

828
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: fifty Five i'm saying this little bit. Backwards it was

829
00:40:58,120 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 1: when you were fifty five year, elderly and they had

830
00:40:59,920 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: to move it to sixty. Five so the definition of

831
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 1: elderly shifted out ten years thirty years. Ago, well so

832
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 1: it turns out you're still as strong at sixty five

833
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 1: as you were at fifty. Five and what's going to

834
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 1: happen as all of us age is that we're not

835
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: going to have thin, skin hunched over diapers and putting

836
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 1: your car keys in the fridge and all those things

837
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:26,280
Speaker 1: that were terrified of. Justifiably so what we are, lacking

838
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 1: the biggest pandemic of, all is our village elders are

839
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: missing because they Have, alzheimer's because they have, diabetes because

840
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: they can't get out of, bed and we are having

841
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: to care for them instead of them having enough energy

842
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: to care for themselves and share their wisdom with the next,

843
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: two three or four. Generations that's how it's always. Been

844
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 1: there's always a few village, elders and we need to

845
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 1: bring that back in because if we understand there's a

846
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: great chance you will be around one hundred and twenty

847
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: years from. Now do you think you're going to throw

848
00:41:56,520 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: plastic in the. Ocean, no we need a long term,

849
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: vision and a long term vision that affects, us not

850
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:07,359
Speaker 1: just some vague idea of future. Generations so you better

851
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 1: start building soil, now because you will be present in

852
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: a world where we don't have enough soil to grow.

853
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: Food if you don't do something, now why do you

854
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: THINK i live on an organic farm Where i'm building

855
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 1: soil as fast AS i, can partly BECAUSE i like to,

856
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 1: eat but also just because it's. Fun so having a

857
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: long time span and understanding this is not just for wealthy,

858
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,399
Speaker 1: People this is happening for all of. Us in, fact

859
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,359
Speaker 1: they announced yesterday a new. Drug they found you take

860
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 1: it four times and it reverses age related decline in

861
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: memory from four doses of a. Drug what the drug

862
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:42,399
Speaker 1: does is fix. Metabolism it's not approved for use. Yet

863
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:46,399
Speaker 1: this just came out just, Yesterday but every week we're

864
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: finding these amazing ways to turn our youth back. On

865
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 1: it is, happening and it is happening faster and faster and.

866
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: Faster the only thing that'll stop it is a comet

867
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: hitting the planet or really bad government.

868
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 3: Policy or really bad government.

869
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 2: POLICY i, mean you say that you don't need to

870
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 2: have a ton of money to invest to do some

871
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 2: good for your body to live.

872
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 3: LONGER i know that you have had the opportunity to spend.

873
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:17,959
Speaker 2: Some, money give a million bucks sure to to better.

874
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,439
Speaker 2: Yourself so for those that you know don't have those,

875
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 2: means if you had to offer them one or two,

876
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 2: suggestions what do you offer?

877
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: Them the number one thing that you can do is

878
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: show your body that occasionally there will be strong demands

879
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: on it and it's going to have to turn on

880
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,800
Speaker 1: a lot of energy really, quickly because when it knows

881
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 1: that you live in a world like, that any parts

882
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: of your, cells your mitochondria that are, weak it'll just

883
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 1: get rid of them and build young new. Ones you

884
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 1: can do a cold shower in the morning for one whole,

885
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 1: minute you have cold water hitting you in the. Forehead

886
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 1: you'll hate me for saying that for three. Days but

887
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 1: after three, days all of a, sudden you're, like you know,

888
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: what that was not. UNPLEASANT i actually feel really good

889
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: because in three days, time according to the, studies you

890
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:05,839
Speaker 1: change the structure of your energy generation parts of your,

891
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:09,280
Speaker 1: cells and then they work. Better and that's what builds,

892
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 1: resilient that's what builds immune, function that's what builds a

893
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: person who is stronger and has more of that accelerator

894
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 1: to push to the. Floor so another thing you could,

895
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: do and these are all, free as you can focus

896
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 1: on your. Sleep this isn't quite, free but it's almost.

897
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 1: Free Black out your. Curtains there's a study that showed

898
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 1: the amount of light that comes around curtains in the

899
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:36,280
Speaker 1: normal city environment increases depression by about sixty nine. Percent

900
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: sleep in a, cave you put a limit of foil

901
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: on your. Windows if you don't have, blackouts unplug your

902
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: LEDs like this is not, hard but those little things like,

903
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: that those will help you live. Longer and Maybe i'm,

904
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 1: Wrong you'll just not have a bunch of degenative conditions

905
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: for the last twenty years of your. Life like you

906
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 1: win either, way Except i'm not.

907
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 3: Wrong Except i'm not. Wrong.

908
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 2: Okay so then as we start to wind down, here
