00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: Welcome to Fitness Disrupted, a production of I Heart Radio.

2
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: I am Tom Holland and this is Fitness Disrupted. Why

3
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: you don't have to like me? How's that for a topic?

4
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: How is that for a topic here on Fitness Disrupted? Bizarre, weird, strange?

5
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 1: You go, what the heck does that have to do

6
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: with anything? Well, it does. It's super important. It's super

7
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: important when it comes to this crazy wild West world

8
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: of health and wellness. Why you don't have to like me? Now?

9
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: When I first started this show, way back when I

10
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: think we're really close kind of look almost two shows,

11
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken. And when I first started, when

12
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: I was writing the spots, the commercials if you will

13
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: spots for the show. What did they say? Some of

14
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: you may remember, some not so if you may have

15
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: not heard them. Uh, the gist was, when your car

16
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: breaks down, do you take it to a trained mechanic

17
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: with years of experience and education, or do you take

18
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: it to a celebrity and right now, let me throw

19
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: in or an Instagram star? Well, then why would you

20
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: do that with your health? Because that is what so

21
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: many people are doing, especially in this new world of

22
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: social media where anyone can have a huge audience, and

23
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: quite often it's not the right people that are getting

24
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: those huge audiences. So that's what today shows about why

25
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: you don't have to like me. And it comes from

26
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: a critique that I've heard before several times and it

27
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: bears discussion, and I'm okay with that. Into this industry

28
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: a long time, and I say it almost every show

29
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: for a reason, but it annoys certain people. So I'm

30
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: going to address it. It bears addressing why you don't

31
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: have to like me. We'll be right back. This fitness industry,

32
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: health and wellness industry, exercise, nutrition, crazy crazy, and decades ago,

33
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: when I decided that this was going to be my future,

34
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: that this was what I was going to do, that

35
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: I had tried everything, I had done the finance and

36
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff, and yes, that's what my

37
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: family did and most of my friends, but no, this

38
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: is what I was passionate about. This is what I

39
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: was gonna do. So how was I going to be

40
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: one of the best. How was I going to separate myself?

41
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: How was I also going to give the best information possible,

42
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: be the best role model possible? And all of those

43
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: things should be part of this industry. Unfortunately, they're often

44
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: none of them when it comes to the people that

45
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: are out there. And so I said, I'm gonna go

46
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: back to school. I'm going to get the certifications, I'm

47
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: going to get a master's degree, and I'm going to

48
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:26,119
Speaker 1: work my butt off in every available part of this industry,

49
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: starting at the bottom, starting, as you know, well, as

50
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: a trainer, group exercise instructor, doing everything possible. So I

51
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: know this industry inside and out and I did that

52
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: for decades, and I talk about it and I talk

53
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: about it all right, and that annoys certain people. And

54
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: there's three basic buckets that I will talk about because

55
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: this is exactly when I made that conscious decision to

56
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: make my passion my vocation, when I focused on So

57
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about why. I talk about three basic

58
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: areas experience, education, and then performance. And there are people

59
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: that fit one bucket in this industry. They are the

60
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: PhD people. Awesome, I'll have them on the show. Awesome.

61
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: There's there's a handful that I truly believe are the best,

62
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: and those are the ones I have on the show.

63
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: The researchers. Okay, the ones in the university, but those

64
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: aren't necessarily the ones who are exercising they talk about

65
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: being in the Ivory tower, but not truly applying it.

66
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: And then you have those that apply it and those

67
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: are often on Instagram, or you have the professional athletes

68
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: people like that that have no idea of the science

69
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: and often completely get it wrong. And they have a

70
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: lot to do with genetics. But many of those people

71
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: get hurt. Many of those people hurt other people, if

72
00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: we're being honest. So my goal was to fill all

73
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: the buckets which to get experienced in all over the years,

74
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 1: and that's not easy to do. That is a huge

75
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: investment of time and money with a very a very

76
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: limited payoff depending on how you position yourself. In other words,

77
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:29,239
Speaker 1: I have turned down significant opportunities because I don't believe

78
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 1: in them, because they go absolutely counter to what I

79
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: know is true. What I know is the science, and

80
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: what I know is good for people. And I'm going

81
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: to talk about that, Okay, Ideally that is why you

82
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: come to this show and listen. I did the show

83
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: on those people that I studied when I was making

84
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: my way up, the people I sought out, the people

85
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: I listened to, and you know what they were, the

86
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: ones that had achieved something and had the best experience

87
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: in education, Those were the ones I was going to

88
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: learn from, emulate and copy. But in this health and

89
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: wellness world where image is everything, just what you see

90
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 1: a snapshot in time, a picture on Instagram that oftentimes

91
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: they're just genetics end oftentimes really bad bad practices, bad behaviors,

92
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: bad nutrition, bad exercise, but it's a snapshot in time,

93
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: and those are oftentimes the ones who are elevated. Listen,

94
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,559
Speaker 1: if you have a million followers on Instagram, you're gonna

95
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 1: have a lot of companies reaching out to your nutrition.

96
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: Wellness has nothing to do with your credentials, your health,

97
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: and your experience, and that's a problem. Let me give

98
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: you an example of there's a doctor who actually came

99
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: up yesterday from just one of the best out there,

100
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: and he's actually local and I have referred so many

101
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: people to this doctor sports doctor over the years. He

102
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: is one of the best, if not the best, in

103
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: my opinion, at what he does getting people who are

104
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: hurt with specific issues back up and going. And I

105
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: back when I was a trainer, I had sent a

106
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: couple of clients to him and then you know, trained

107
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: them as well. They needed to hear it from a doctor.

108
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: Many of them that it was okay to do what

109
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: was seemingly aggressive. But my point is this bedside manner

110
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: not so great for many of my clients really disliked

111
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: the guy. Some of them, and what I would say

112
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: to them before they went is us that you may

113
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: not like this person. It's not the best like you know,

114
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: listening and listen, he would shut down. Certain clients would

115
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: come in with a laundry list of what they thought

116
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: the issue was rather than listen to this expert. No,

117
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: they knew, here's what my shin splints are from. I

118
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: think it's my shoes. I think it's this, and he

119
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: would one one client, he crumpled up this piece of

120
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: paper and said, you know, I got this. But my

121
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: point is that it doesn't matter that you're not gonna

122
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: be friends with this person, or that he may turn

123
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: you off in certain ways personality wise. Listen. We wish

124
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: that it were different, but again a tough industry where

125
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 1: you gotta be a certain way. I would argue, h

126
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: have to be that way, but it makes life easier.

127
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: But the results are all that matters, is my point.

128
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: The results are what matter, and that this person has

129
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: some of the best education, some of the best experience.

130
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: And yes, guess what this doctor, he practices what he preaches.

131
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: He is an athlete, and he is a good athlete.

132
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: And I wanted to hear his stories when I would

133
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: sit down with him and interact with him. I wanted

134
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: to hear because you know what I was going to learn.

135
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: It's going to learn from his experiences, because that's what

136
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: it's about. So let me cut to the chase. You

137
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: know why many of the podcasts and fitness instructors and

138
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: fitness experts that you may hear from, do you know

139
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: why they don't talk about their experiences or education because

140
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: they don't have any. Because they don't have any. And

141
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: that's why you will hear so much content where what

142
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: do they do? They grab into one thing, right, They

143
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 1: grab onto one thing, A specific diet, a specific exercise,

144
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: it's keyto it's it's whatever, it's intermittent fasting, it's the

145
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 1: cardio makes you fat. Just watched a great twentysomething tell

146
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: me that cardio makes you fat on Instagram. Okay, Because

147
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: they can't talk about the experiences they've had working with

148
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: thousands of clients, some do and obviously are lying just

149
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: based on their age alone. But my point is they

150
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: don't talk about it because they can't. They don't have

151
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: the education, they don't have the experience working with a

152
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: diverse group of of populations young, old, injuries, you know,

153
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: sports specific professional athletes. And again I'm not saying this

154
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 1: to to prop myself up. Trust me, I'm good. I'm

155
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: okay with you know where I am. But I just

156
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: want to clarify in this crazy industry, you don't have

157
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: to listen to me necessarily, you know, I think should

158
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: and you are right now. But like the doctor, I

159
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: don't want to name him right now, but you want

160
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: the people who have studied it and applied it. And

161
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: in this crazy world, I can think of very few

162
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: vocations where it is so egregiously not the case. And

163
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: it's one thing to do this if you're selling shoes

164
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: or cars or homes or or even finance, right because

165
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: that world's filled with it. Hey, I'm gonna teach you

166
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 1: how to be you know, six figure income from people

167
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: who have never had a six figure, seven figure income,

168
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: unless it was teaching people how to potentially make six

169
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: figure in comes. But this is literally life or death

170
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 1: to abuse the term literally, but It applies here when

171
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: you take it to its extreme and you look at

172
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: some of the extremes diets, exercise programs, bad advice that

173
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: is being given. It's literally life or death. Literally life

174
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: or death. And when you go into a doctor's office,

175
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: what do they have on the wall? They have their credentials? Right,

176
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: if you walked into a doctor's office and you know

177
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: he had no credentials, you wouldn't feel as good about

178
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 1: what he was about to do. Right, this is pretty

179
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: damn close. It's actually preventing you from having to go

180
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: to the doctor's office oftentimes injuries, disease, preventable lifestyle issues.

181
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: All Right, Then when you go into the doctor's office,

182
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: do you not want to see the best credentials? And

183
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 1: then that's not even enough. As I said with the

184
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: doctor friend that I refer people to, if your doctor

185
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: is overweight, is that an issue? If your doctor hasn't

186
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 1: applied So it's not just the credentials, as I'm saying,

187
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: that's really important, but it's not the be all, end all.

188
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: And conversely, if your doctors in great shape but doesn't

189
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: have the education, that's a problem too. So we want

190
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: to seek out advice from the best of the best

191
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: who have applied it, who have studied it, who have

192
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: done both, and you don't have to like that person. Oftentimes, again,

193
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: when it's uncomfortable because I'm gonna tell you stuff that

194
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: you don't necessarily want to hear, those excuses it's hard

195
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: to hear. Yes, you have time, it's hard to hear.

196
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: It's not about your edicts. It's hard to hear. It's

197
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: not just your metabolism things like that. And that's why again,

198
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: when you have people who tell you what you want

199
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: to hear, that's horrible in my opinion. You know, if

200
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: you have the trainer says, oh, you're working too hard.

201
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: You're only burning carbs because you're working to a too

202
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: hard in intensity. Now, oftentimes that trainer doesn't have the education,

203
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: doesn't know what they're talking about. And then sometimes which

204
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: is even worse, if they actually do know. But I

205
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: tell you what you want to hear. I've said it before.

206
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: I lost clients when I was a trainer, especially the

207
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: ones who wanted to work out too hard, who wanted

208
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: to hurt themselves, because that was bad advertising for me,

209
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: and that was more money I left on the table.

210
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: And oftentimes those are the type as those are the

211
00:14:53,960 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: wealthier ones oftentimes not always, but hmm, I wouldn't push them.

212
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do things that that were counter to their health.

213
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: That we're way too high on the risk reward spectrum.

214
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: And so I lost money there, but I was okay

215
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: with that because at the end of the day, I

216
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: want you to be as healthy as possible. All Right,

217
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm starting to get a little worked up a little

218
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: bit now, I kid, it's this is a tough topic,

219
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: but I have to address it. It's super important. Final

220
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: break will be right back. So when I do a

221
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: show like this where the title is why you don't

222
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: have to like me, it's not obviously just about me,

223
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: or that would totally negate the whole premise, but it's

224
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: for everything when it comes to health and wellness. When

225
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: you go to your nutritionists, when you go to your

226
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: doctor who again, I want you to seek out the

227
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: best nutritionists. If you do, the best doctors, sports doctors.

228
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: If you do, and don't doctor shop, don't nutritionist shop.

229
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: That's the problem. Those are the people who tell you

230
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: what you want to hear. And that's why you don't

231
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: have to like me. If you always like what I

232
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: said I'm not doing my job, and I will take

233
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: that criticism that I talked too much about myself. Listen,

234
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: I've worked my butt off twenty hour days for years

235
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: in the gyms, and I've invested an insane amount of

236
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: money in my education and continue to to this day.

237
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: Why do I talk about the fact that I'm back.

238
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: You know that first of all, that I got a

239
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: master's you know, sports psychology and exercise science, because I

240
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: want you to know that I understand the psychology and

241
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: continue to study it, and I understand the exercise science

242
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: and now continuing to study Harvard Extension School one of

243
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: the coolest certificates course load that I've ever taken, with

244
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: the smartest perfect serves in human behavior. Human behavior, That's

245
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: what it's about. Yes, Like you need to know the

246
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: exercise science first and foremost. Then you've got to understand

247
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: how to change behavior and what influences it. So I'm

248
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: investing more time and more money, and I'm going to

249
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: talk about it. Sorry, sorry, because I want you to go.

250
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: You know, maybe maybe I should listen to some of this.

251
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 1: Maybe he has some clue what he's talking about that's important,

252
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: not selling shoes, And I want you if I give

253
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 1: you a piece of advice and listen, you're gonna find

254
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: things that work for you and things that don't. And

255
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: that's why I give you all the different options, and

256
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: I give you the buckets of carbs and foods and

257
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 1: exercise and and the science behind them so you can

258
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 1: find what works for you. If I didn't have the

259
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 1: background that I have, I give you. Yeah, yeah, you should. Absolutely, definitely.

260
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: There's no other way than intermittent fasting. It's the only

261
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: way to do it well. When you don't have much

262
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: to draw on, that's where you go. But yeah, I'm

263
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: sorry if me talking about the three buckets, education, experience,

264
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: and races, and I'm going to talk about those experiences

265
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: racing because I get it. I get what it is

266
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,239
Speaker 1: to suffer, and I put myself through those experiences so

267
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: that I can learn that I can see where those

268
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,959
Speaker 1: lines are and that you know, if I ask you

269
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: to do something, to try something that I've done it myself,

270
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: hopefully numerous times over and at an extreme levels, so

271
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: that I can understand the human body without hurting myself.

272
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: By the way, without hurting myself, because I don't want

273
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: to hurt myself and I want to hurt you. I'm

274
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: not willing to do that. So enough short show, but

275
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: a super important concept that I want you to apply

276
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: to everything when it comes to your health and wellness.

277
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 1: If it doesn't make you uncomfortable. It goes to the

278
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: overload principle with muscles and cardiovascular It's the same thing behaviorally.

279
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 1: You hear and read these memes all the time from

280
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: people on Instagram, and again, have those people actually gone uncomfortable?

281
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: Have those have they? Have they applied what they're asking

282
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: you to do? You know, It's like when I used

283
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: to teach group fitness classes. I made sure that I

284
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: did enough of that class with the class, not about

285
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: me with the class, but you get the instructors who

286
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: kill their in their class because they have no idea

287
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: what it feels like to do what they're asking the

288
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 1: class to do. So I'm going to talk about the experiences.

289
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about the education. I'm gonna talk about

290
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: the passion I have for this industry and put it

291
00:19:55,680 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 1: all together so that you can find your best way

292
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: and you don't have to like the messaging, but I

293
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: want you to benefit from it. I want you to

294
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: benefit from it because that is my goal. That is

295
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: why I have taken the path I have. You know,

296
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: I talked about one of my first examples of turning

297
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: something down way back when my first opportunity to be

298
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 1: on a big TV show in New York about fitness.

299
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: What they asked me to talk about was garbage, wasn't

300
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: proper exercise science. It was some fly by night fitness

301
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: guru's book. And I said, well, I'll talk about this

302
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: and I broke it down to exercise and I said no,

303
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: So I gave up that first opportunity and that was

304
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: the start. And I bring that up why so that

305
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: you know if I talk about a product or exercise routine, whatever,

306
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: that there's credibility and there's believability, because that is what's
