There you go, 35 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 4: we're the same age. So basically the first thing you 36 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 4: do is start get on a Keto diet. It's really 37 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 4: easy to do, especially when you travel. Start getting into 38 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 4: Intermitte fasting, which will literally clears all the brain flog 39 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 4: you have and it gives you more energy. Believe it 40 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 4: or not. Eating less gives you more energy. And then 41 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 4: just just get on a modest workout program. 42 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 2: Uh. 43 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 4: You know, when you travel and you stay at hotels, 44 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 4: always have a gym. What I would what I would 45 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 4: advise you to do is find a trainer that you 46 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 4: can travel with. There's two things I don't go anywhere 47 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 4: without my trainer and my cold plunge. I have my 48 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 4: cold plunge everywhere. 49 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: And how big is you're playing. I'm just curious asking 50 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: for a friend. 51 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 4: Well, no, So what I do is if we go 52 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 4: to the UFC, it goes on trucks that that that 53 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 4: get there before we do. But I have all the 54 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 4: hotels dialed in and they figure out a local coal 55 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 4: plunge to put inside my hotel room. 56 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,399 Speaker 1: Have you ever done a cold punch? Have you ever 57 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: done this? 58 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 3: I have to admit I'm not a big fan of cold. 59 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 3: I like, but I'm not a big colt. So you 60 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 3: bring a cold plunge like literally with you. 61 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 4: Yeah. So for UFC events, we have the col plunge 62 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 4: on the truck. But when I travel, like I'll be 63 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 4: in London all next week, I'll have a cold plunge 64 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 4: in my room all next week, and I do it 65 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 4: every day. It's like for some people who have to 66 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 4: get up and have coffee, that's like my coffee. And 67 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 4: the great thing about cold in the morning. 68 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 3: Typically as soon as you. 69 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 4: Get up it only takes three minutes, but when you 70 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 4: first start doing it, it takes like thirty three minutes 71 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 4: because you stare at it for thirty minutes and you 72 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 4: start telling yourself it would have been over if I 73 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 4: just would have done it already. 74 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: But in other words, it's a form of torture, is 75 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: what you're telling us. 76 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 2: They forced us to do it back in college after 77 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 2: training sessions, and I've never done it since college. Center 78 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 2: it's I hate it. I just want to be very clear. 79 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 2: I hate the fact data that you travel with. It 80 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 2: is insane to me. 81 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 1: I love this. 82 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 3: So how cold do you do? How cold do you 83 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 3: have the. 84 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 4: Water fifty degrees? You do three minutes at fifty degrees 85 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 4: And actually it's a form of accomplishment, like as soon 86 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 4: as you finish that in the morning, you've already accomplished 87 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 4: something that most people will not that day. But how 88 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 4: it makes you feel the rest of the day is 89 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 4: absolutely addicting. 90 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 3: So what are the benefits? What does it do for you? 91 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 4: It gets rid of the inflammation in your body. And 92 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 4: at fifty five years old, doing all the traveling, you're 93 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 4: doing stress this, that, and it gets rid of the inflammation. 94 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 4: And there's nothing better than after you fly somewhere getting 95 00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 4: into a cold plunge for three minutes. 96 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 2: It's the So after you fly, it just just reset 97 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 2: you or what. 98 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 4: And it gets rid of all the inflammation in your body. 99 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 4: Now you feel puffy. I mean, if you take your 100 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 4: shoes off on a flight, when you land, putting your 101 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 4: shoes back on, your shoes are tighter. Everything's gets rid 102 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 4: of all of that. 103 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 3: And so so you do keto, are you doing mostly meat? 104 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 3: You're doing veggies too, like like like what are you 105 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 3: put in the diet? No? 106 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 4: So in keto, what you try to do is you 107 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 4: try to limit the only fruit. You can eat berries, 108 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 4: any any kind of berry.

You know, 110 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 4: there's tons of things you can eat. You just can't 111 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 4: have any of the sides. You stay away from all 112 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 4: the sides. 113 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 2: It's an average day of meals for you, like a 114 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 2: normal day, not eating out nice meal at night like 115 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 2: you know VIP event type thing. 116 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 4: It's four o'clock here, I haven't eaten yet, so I eat. 117 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 4: I go all day without eating, and then. 118 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 1: I'll man fasting like a whole day. 119 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, I eat dinner at night. 120 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 3: So is that your typical intermittent fast is that you 121 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 3: just skip breakfast at lunch? 122 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 4: Yep, exactly. 123 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 3: And even who does that also has the same schedule 124 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 3: as herschel walker. 125 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, makes sense. 126 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 3: And so what I was campaigning in Georgia with Herschel, 127 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 3: he just he doesn't do lunch, doesn't do breakfast.

And actually my mom who's ninety one, 142 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 3: told me this, and she she wanted me to ask you, like, 143 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 3: like what Gary Breckatt did with it was helpful and 144 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 3: what you found beneficial. 145 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 4: The thing is would be the Gary. I'm all in 146 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 4: on the Gary brecking things. So I do the stuff. 147 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 4: So I used to be on a bunch of pills 148 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 4: that doctors were giving me for blood pressure and a 149 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 4: bunch of other stuff that I really didn't need to 150 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 4: be on for years. So now all I take are supplements. 151 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 4: So I said how many? 152 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: How many? And what do you take? 153 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 4: So I was on a bunch of different pills every 154 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 4: day and I felt horrible, uh, tired, lethargic, and I 155 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 4: real bad. Sleep at me is snoring. You know, when 156 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 4: you go to the doctor, they tell you to put 157 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 4: a seapap mask on, which I could never sleep with. 158 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 4: It never worked for me. Now I don't have any 159 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 4: of that. I don't have to sleep at me. I 160 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 4: don't snore anymore, and I'm off all meds only on supplements. 161 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 4: And I couldn't tell you right here the supplements that 162 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 4: I'm on. But uh, first of all, what they would 163 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 4: do is I'm gonna have I'm going to reach out 164 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 4: to the Senator and I'm gonna have them come to 165 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 4: a blood test on you, and then they'll they'll go 166 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 4: through and tell you everything that you need to be 167 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 4: on based on your blood work.
