1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 1: Welcome to Fitness Disrupted, a production of My Heart Radio. 2 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: I am Tom Holland, and this is Fitness Disrupted. All right, 3 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: I'm annoyed. I'm annoyed before the show even started. I 4 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,800 Speaker 1: got annoyed doing research for this show. So I think 5 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: you're going to enjoy it. I know many of you 6 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: enjoy when I get amped up, when I get annoyed, 7 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: and I am right now. I'm annoyed that I had 8 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: to do the research I had to do and sift 9 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 1: through all the garbage I had to to bring you 10 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: this show, which shows that it's the perfect topic. It's 11 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: the perfect topic, and I said, I have to do 12 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: this show after I received yet another pitch for a 13 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: potential guest on this show that had this term in 14 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: their bio. And yes, thanks to having done this show 15 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: for several years now, I get pitched guests every day. 16 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 1: Different PR firms reach out and I love it. Um 17 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: there's a lot of bad, bad pitches, but you know 18 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: that's life. And when this word is in their bio 19 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: in the pitch, especially at the top, I just cringe. 20 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,199 Speaker 1: And you've probably figured out what that term is from 21 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: the title of this podcast. It's a four letter word. 22 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:35,119 Speaker 1: And it makes me nuts. And it's hack, and it's 23 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: specifically bio hack, bio hack, bio hacker. And then yes, 24 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: using that verb in so many different ways hack your metabolism. 25 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: I've talked about that before. What does that mean? But 26 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: after receiving yes yet another potential guest who's a bio hacker, 27 00:01:58,320 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: he said, I got to do a show on this, 28 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: and I will do many more shows where I specifically 29 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: go into the specific hacks. I don't want it today. 30 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: I'm annoyed that I I'm going to talk about them 31 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,839 Speaker 1: just the way they are. But many of them you've 32 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: people have reached out, and yeah, they're worth doing a 33 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: show about. I have to preface all of this by saying, 34 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: do listen to my podcast. You know my philosophy. I 35 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: approach everything I do with the completely open mind. I 36 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: want to find all of the best ways for you 37 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: to live your best life too. Yeah, get the greatest 38 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: results in the shortest amount of time with the least 39 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: likelihood of injury. That's my job. And so when it 40 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: comes to bio hacking or hacking, just saying the words 41 00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: makes me cringe. It's just had a loss for words. 42 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,519 Speaker 1: I really am oh so yeah, just doing this. The 43 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: research for this show annoying me, and I actually stopped 44 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: maybe a little earlier, like I didn't need anymore examples 45 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: of of unsubstantiated, unscientific mumbo jumbo, which is what so 46 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: much of this is, okay, bio hack. Bio hack is 47 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: a twenty one century you know, Silicon Valley silver bullet, 48 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: shortcut turn for me, that's how I look at it. 49 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: It sounds great, it's so like you know, it's so 50 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: Silicon Valley, and so many of the guys pushing it 51 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: are that type. And and I'll finish up with that. 52 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: But what is it some of you going, I don't, 53 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: I don't know what bio hack is. Well, even those 54 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: of you who think you know what it is, you 55 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: really don't, because it's it's basically d I Y biology, 56 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: do it yourself right, And that that's what I love 57 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: too about so many of these notable names within this community. 58 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: They have no scientific background. They're one of those people 59 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: who you know, in equals one figured something out for themselves, 60 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: it worked, and now their way is the only way. 61 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: And many of them are making a killing off of 62 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: selling products and supplements. I would argue with the twenty 63 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,679 Speaker 1: one century equivalent of snake oil. But yeah, bio hacking 64 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: is give you one definition I found, and it's not 65 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: even really It's an extremely broad and amorphous term that 66 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: can cover a huge rage of activities. And I added 67 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: in with the hope of what boosting physical and cognitive 68 00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: performance bio hacking. But when you say it, when people 69 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: read it, what are you reading that for bio hacking? 70 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: It's basically a shortcut. It's something new and novel, which 71 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: is problematic right then and there, but it's a shortcut 72 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: bio hack. And that's when we talk hacky metabolism, hack 73 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: your exercise routine. It's it's just basically common sense, which 74 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: is why the term annoys me so much. It's excessive 75 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:31,919 Speaker 1: moderation at the end of the day. And so it's 76 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: also just taking that scientific breakthrough, right the stuff we 77 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: heard on late night TV. Never before you know, heard 78 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: of results or or you know, uh science, Yeah, scientific breakthrough. 79 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: Leave it at that, bio hacking. All right, let's take 80 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: a break, take a deep breath, get more amped up. 81 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: We're gonna go into this and this, you know, let's 82 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: take a break. We'll be right back talking about bio hacking. 83 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: Just it's I'm worked up. Let me just throw out 84 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: one of the myriad supposed benefits of these bio hacks, 85 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: because it kind of just puts it perfectly. One of 86 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: the biohacks. I don't even give you the specifics because 87 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. So many of them claim these two things, 88 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 1: well three things, boosts cellular regeneration and fights aging by 89 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: detoxifying your body. Actually they say detoxing, not that there's 90 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: a difference, but you know, boosts celluler regeneration, okay, and 91 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: fights aging by detoxifying your body. All right, let's get 92 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: into just some really interesting supposed bio hacks. Now, again, 93 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: as I read in that one definition, it's broad. It's 94 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: a morphous but boosting physical and cognitive performance. I so 95 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: want to just skip to the end here. And that's 96 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: what annoyed me so much about doing this research for 97 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: this show, because I just want to skip to the takeaway. 98 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: And I'm actually not gonna spend too much time here 99 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: on that. It's gonna be a shorter show because it 100 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: doesn't deserve that much attention. And again, I'm gonna say 101 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: one more time, I'm reading all the latest research because 102 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: I want to know. I want to be the best 103 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: I can be. If there is a bio hack out there, people, 104 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: I will bring it to you. I will bring it 105 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: to you. And you'll also hear about it in the 106 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: news and in journals and in you know, reputable media 107 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: outlets and sources, not from someone selling you crazy potions 108 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: and supplements and then gadgets that. Yeah, you get in 109 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: or get on or put on. M hmm, alright, So 110 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: here's just a here's like six or seven drinking salt juice, 111 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: injecting DNA, injecting a younger person's blood into your body. 112 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: That's a bio hack, younger transfusion so you feel younger. 113 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: That makes sense. Let's let's do the Keith Richards Uh 114 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: supposed righty transfusion at old myth? So yeah, that's that's supposedly. 115 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: It's not supposedly, it's what some people are doing, injecting 116 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,679 Speaker 1: younger people's blood into their body. Okay. Uh, different light systems, 117 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: infra red lights and things like that. And listen, have 118 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: a bunch of these products and pitched these products all 119 00:08:54,760 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: the time. It's the proposed benefits that I have. Shoot, 120 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 1: I take issue with all right. Fecal transplants. Yeah, that 121 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: came up. That came up in my research. That was fun. 122 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: That was fun. It's like, yeah, that cryotherapy. Now, I 123 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: did a whole show on that with Lindsay Barra, right 124 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 1: Yogie Betters, Barra's granddaughter, incredible fitness writer, and talking about 125 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: how actually it's the opposite when when you're using cryotherapy 126 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: for recovery. As listen, I read about and started doing 127 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: when I first started doing triathons, that's what triathletes did. 128 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: And then when you read the research, you go, ah, actually, 129 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: maybe that's preventing delaying recovery and muscle synthesis and things 130 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 1: like that. But that aside, like the other benefits they 131 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:51,439 Speaker 1: are proposing for cryotherapy, far exceed that. I mean, there's 132 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: certain things I go okay, And as you know, if 133 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: you've listened to my podcast and know my philosophy is 134 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 1: if it doesn't hurt you, I'm open to anything. But 135 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: as I will get to at the end here, there's 136 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: one of the main reasons I have a problem with 137 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 1: this will make sense when I get to I want 138 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 1: to give it away. Yet all right, other words they 139 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,719 Speaker 1: use all the time in bio hacking is optimizing in 140 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:22,559 Speaker 1: that great optimizing, upgrading, upgrading, Now, what what is what 141 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: is one incredibly obvious aspect of these terms that I 142 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: just threw out to you, optimizing, upgrading, boosting. You can't 143 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 1: measure it. You can't measure it, so there's no way 144 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: to disprove it. And unfortunately, I'm just gonna be honest 145 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 1: as I always am. You know, there are people have 146 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: been in this industry long enough that I know did 147 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: some pretty calm kookie for lack of a or what. 148 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 1: I don't want to throw a scientific term out there, 149 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: they're along with us. Now. The problem is when these 150 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 1: people do some crazy things in the fitness world and 151 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: nutrition world and then they pass at a younger age 152 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:17,959 Speaker 1: is almost never you can't definitely say oftentimes why they 153 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,319 Speaker 1: passed earlier. It's not connected. I'm just gonna leave it 154 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: at that. So, in other words, a lot of these 155 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: people who are pushing these bio hacking things strategies, will 156 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: they really live to be? Will they live to be? 157 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: Se Okay, But you can't measure it, and so it 158 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: actually goes against the science. Right. So in other words, 159 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: what's the line that's used all the time. If you 160 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: can't measure it, you can't manage it. Well, how do 161 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: you measure upgrading? How do you measure cellular regeneration? How 162 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,439 Speaker 1: do you even measure detoxifying? Well, there's there's snake oilways. 163 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: You know. You put the pads on the bottom of 164 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: your feet and see them get dirty, and that's toxins 165 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: supposedly in many different snake oil ways like that. But 166 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: you start to see what I'm talking about with how 167 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: vague these terms are, and I got it. You know 168 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 1: you probably no one of the people I'm referring to 169 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: here don't need to use this person's name, although they 170 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: are one of the proponents like putting bio hacking on 171 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: the map, and he says he wanted to take control 172 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: of his own biology. I'm all for that. What this 173 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: shows about also goes into that he wants to push 174 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: the bounds of human possibility. I'm I'm for that, But 175 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: that's what does that mean? What does that mean? Okay? Uh? 176 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 1: And again I'm just bringing you this person's bio because 177 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: it goes to what we're talking about here, and because 178 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: he is someone who pushes this. This person claims to 179 00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: have upgraded his brain. Okay again, show me, shoe me. 180 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: And finally, this was a great quote because this person says, 181 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: one of the fathers of bio hacking. I don't want 182 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: to be just healthy. That's average. Uh No, it's not. 183 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna stop there. There's one more sentence, but I 184 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: gonna stop there. Being healthy is not average. It's not 185 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: even close to being average. In today's world, over of 186 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,839 Speaker 1: people are dealing with weight issues. Many of you are 187 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: listening to the show for that reason. And that's why 188 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,959 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna know. See, I'm getting worked up. I can't, 189 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: you know, kind of skip to the end here. This 190 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: is wasting your time and money. That's my main problem 191 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: with this. When the number I do, how fourteen minutes in? 192 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:46,959 Speaker 1: I thought i'd get farther this. This is why I 193 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: was so annoyed when reading all of this stuff into 194 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: this doing I don't even want to call it research. 195 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: I could have spent my time really looking into stuff 196 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: that is going to help you. That's my job. But 197 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 1: part of my job is debunking these really popular, questionable practices. Now, 198 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: prove me wrong, prove me wrong. But here's the thing. 199 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,439 Speaker 1: All the stuff I give you, and all this stuff 200 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: we we talked about I talked about here with you, 201 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: I know works right, the excessive moderation, the strength training, 202 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: the drinking water, the eating healthy, the whole foods. You know, 203 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: there's no blue zones into any of this stuff. In 204 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: other words like evolution and people living to be you 205 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: know past a hundred or you know, nineties hundreds and 206 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: beyond and and and just healthy lives, vibrant lives at 207 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: that at that age. The people that are trying to 208 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: bio hack are not doing the basics to begin with. 209 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: It's a short cut, it's avoiding the work. I'm throwing 210 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: out a bunch of notes here. It's thrown out a 211 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: bunch of work. But but you know what, let me 212 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: back up, because I want, I want you to I 213 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: did grab three different bio hacking machines protocols that are 214 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: are pitched by that same person. Okay. One is an 215 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: atmospheric cell trainer, and I'm quoting here. It is a 216 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: workout for your cellular energy systems experienced improved cellular energy, 217 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: enhanced detoxification, and increased production of stem cells. Can any 218 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: of that be proven? Do they show that you've increased 219 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: stem cells? Do they show that you've enhanced your detoxification? 220 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: And how how do you how do you show that 221 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: you've improved your cellular energy. Let me give you two 222 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: more The Big Squeeze that's a full body detox massage 223 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: and lymphatic drainage technology system. And one final one Breather 224 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:04,479 Speaker 1: Ease Experience performance gains of up to and reduced oxidative 225 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: stress by breathing exclusion zone water. This energetically charged water 226 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: simulates and amplifies your body's natural natural I'm getting worked 227 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: up your body's natural cellular repair process, allowing yourselves to 228 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: produce energy more effectively. I get worked up and I 229 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: get tongue tied because it's just it's hard to It's like, 230 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: it's hard for me to do a bad push up 231 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: because I'm so used to maintaining proper form It's hard 232 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: for me to read this garbage. And I'm gonna like, 233 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: that's a strong word for me to say that. But 234 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: this stuff is expensive, and even then if you have 235 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: the money, it wastes your time. These machines you gotta 236 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: you gotta go to that facility, you gotta get in 237 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: it spend like I don't know, half hour hour depending 238 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: on what you're doing. And that is at the expense 239 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 1: of doing what doing Some strength training, doing some cardiovascular activity, meditating, stretching. 240 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: The five components of fit is when the number one 241 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: reason for lack of exercise is time. Why do you 242 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: have the time to waste on something unproven? Unproven? Okay, 243 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 1: let's take one more break. Oh I knew I'd be 244 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 1: all over the place, but that's okay because this topic 245 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 1: calls for it. All right, we'll be right back all right, 246 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 1: talking about bio hacking what I like to call silicon valleys, 247 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: silver bullet. You know, they're looking for an edge. I 248 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:01,959 Speaker 1: get it. But let's let's go there. I do the triathlons, 249 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: you know, running marathon's ultras, been competitive. I've done it 250 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 1: to just finish and have goals for years, getting back 251 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: to getting competitive. If this stuff worked, all the top 252 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: people would be doing it. All the top people would 253 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 1: be doing it, all the top athletes. If it worked. 254 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: They want that edge, and so let me go there. Actually, 255 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna skip ahead again. Who can do this? You 256 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: know who can do this stuff? Professional athletes like I 257 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: just said Tom Brady, Right, if you have the money 258 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 1: and do have the time, because it's your job, because 259 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: all these people do, you know, is sleep, train, eat, train, recover, 260 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 1: sleep train eat recover, which is part of sleep. And 261 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:56,360 Speaker 1: so yeah, they're gonna try all of these novel things 262 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 1: because they've already done the work and they are still 263 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: doing the work. They are doing their strength training, they 264 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: are eating healthy. This is like supplements. People. You can 265 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 1: go sit in a pod and and pay it, you know, 266 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 1: a fortune for that, or pop some pills. But if 267 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: you're not exercising your heart and making it stronger and 268 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: taking control of stress and and you know, lifting weights 269 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: and getting strong and working on your weaknesses and imbalances 270 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,959 Speaker 1: and getting your blood work in line through all the above, 271 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: it's worthless and it's a waste. But if it's your job, 272 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: of course, And that's why I'm going to go off 273 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 1: on a tangent for a very short amount of time, 274 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: trainers to like Tom Brady. You know, I haven't gone 275 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: into his program yet, but like thirty depends on the 276 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: person's time. It's gonna be stuff like this because they 277 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 1: have the time and they've done the work, and so 278 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: how do you get that little advantage. They're gonna try 279 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: different things like this, Sure all sleep and you know, 280 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: going an infrared sauna and I'll do this kind of stuff. 281 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: But I've already done all of the other stuff. All 282 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 1: of the other stuff. Okay, that's the difference until you 283 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: get the basics in line, which people don't. Okay, none 284 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 1: of this is going to make a difference as of 285 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: right now, according to the science, according to the literature, 286 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 1: according to the numbers we see with people that goes 287 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: for health metrics, overweight obesity, the results from COVID, you know, 288 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 1: people's immune systems, people getting sick. And I'm gonna say 289 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: it one last time. I have the most open mind. 290 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: I don't want someone else to have an advantage that 291 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: I don't have. But I'm sure as heck not gonna 292 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 1: waste time or money on something when I can be 293 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 1: doing things that no work. That's the problem. Okay, let 294 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: me truly keep this short. One of the lines I 295 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: pulled out in one of the articles as I was 296 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 1: researching this topic, it said, why why do people I 297 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: want to bioac what's the point? And it said, actually, 298 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: blew me away. One of the more ambitious types of 299 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: bio hacking is life extension, the attempt to live longer. Really, 300 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: that's that's the more ambitious type of bio hacking. Guess 301 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: what we have the answers. The answers are there. They're 302 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: in all the podcasts I have done. They're in all 303 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: the podcasts I will do. The trouble is people finding 304 00:21:55,560 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: what works for them and then doing it. Okay, when 305 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: you waste time, let me read. I pulled this out. 306 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: So what was that machine? One of the pods when 307 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 1: you sit in a comfortable futuristic pod that uses a 308 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 1: change in air pressure to create a workout for your 309 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,159 Speaker 1: cellular energy system, instead of doing something you know that 310 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: works for you, that's not extending your life the way 311 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: we need to do it right now. I love fitness technology. 312 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 1: I have it all, most of it. I try a 313 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: couple of times, and then I go back to what works. 314 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 1: Because I don't have a lot of time. I gotta 315 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: find time to stretch and to do my strength training 316 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: and to work on my weaknesses, and to do my 317 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 1: shoulder internal external rotation, and to do my lower body 318 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: workout that I'm not as crazy about, and to go 319 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: swim and do all these things. And this is my job. 320 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,199 Speaker 1: So I'm not a professional athlete, but similar space and 321 00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 1: I will try these things. I will try everything. But 322 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: when we have twenty four hours in the day, and 323 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: I want to extend my life. I'm gonna do things 324 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: that I know work. Okay, that's why this whole show 325 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: made me nuts. We should be focusing on how to 326 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: get people doing things that we know works. You think 327 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: getting in a pod a couple of times a week 328 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: it's going to change anything if you don't do all 329 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:30,120 Speaker 1: the other things we've talked about. And let me wrap 330 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: it all up with this. I get offended. I get 331 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 1: somewhat offended when I read a bio hacker like that 332 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: that says to me, you figured something out that I 333 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,199 Speaker 1: don't know. You're gonna You're gonna bring something to me 334 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: that I don't like. As I say, this sounds a little, 335 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: you know, egotistical, But listen, I'm reading everything. It's gonna 336 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: be in a journal, it's gonna be in a paper, 337 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: and I'm open minded, and listen, I'm sure at some point, 338 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, I will have well, I don't even 339 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: know that I was gonna say of these people on 340 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: some of these people, but they gotta be bringing something else. 341 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: And as soon as I see that that word it 342 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: the red flag is flying, is flying. We don't have 343 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,640 Speaker 1: a lot of time. We are busy people. My goal 344 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: is to get you the greatest results in the shortest 345 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: amount of time, with the least likelihood of injury, with 346 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,239 Speaker 1: stuff that I know works. So I'm not wasting your 347 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: time and your money. I'm gonna bring you the latest, 348 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 1: greatest everything. But the term bio hack bio hacker annoys me. 349 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: It's rarely a PhD person. And the PhD people I 350 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: bring to you on the show, what do they all say? 351 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: It depends, but they go back to what we know works. 352 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 1: Getting your heart rate up through exercise, whatever that is 353 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: for you, lifting heavier things, putting healthy things in our body, 354 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 1: not focusing. By the way, intermittent fasting, all that stuff 355 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: came up as as bio hacking. That's been around forever. 356 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 1: It's been around forever. It doesn't work, of course it works, 357 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: and you know cellu regeneration or something like. That's why 358 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 1: most people are doing intermittent fasting. They're doing it to 359 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: lose weight, and they're going for long periods of time 360 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 1: without eating, and then they're not eating healthy when they do. 361 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 1: Let's see, I'm getting worked up and going off on 362 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: a tangent. But this is a perfect example of where 363 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: I get annoyed because things that are simple are made 364 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: to seem complex, and things that are complex are made 365 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: to seem simple to sell you stuff at at a 366 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: ridiculous price and keep you from doing what you should 367 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 1: be doing to guarantee results. And when it takes time, people, 368 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 1: you don't have time. You know, everyone wants the results 369 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: in the shortest amount of time. Right, I want to 370 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: lose weight. You know, it's one to two pounds a week. 371 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: And by the way, this is this the same person UH, 372 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 1: you know, vilifies healthy foods. Here's a quote, vilifies healthy 373 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: foods and UH suggests you can lose a pound to 374 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 1: day through their science based products. All right, enough, this 375 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: was this was This was all over the place, but 376 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 1: for a reason. It's a perfect example of when I 377 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 1: started this show what I knew I needed to bring 378 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 1: to you. And it's hard to sell the basics. It's 379 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 1: hard to sell excessive moderation. I'm living proof it works. 380 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: And you know, at fifty three and no issues with 381 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 1: all that I've done as far as events and stuff. 382 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: I'd like to think that I'm yes and an equals 383 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 1: one example, but you know, leave you with this with 384 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: that that person, that person wants to, you know, maximize 385 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: their potential. Show me what you're doing. Give me quantifiable stuff. 386 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: Are you are you pring your your five k are 387 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: you biking? What are you doing physically? Show me, don't 388 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:04,199 Speaker 1: give me these vague things cognitive you know, upgrades and 389 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 1: guess what, as soon as you start doing anything, you're 390 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 1: gonna feel better. You start pick a pick a exercise modality. 391 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 1: If you've done nothing and you start to do yoga, 392 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 1: it's gonna be the greatest that you've ever done because 393 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 1: you're starting to move your body. If you've done nothing 394 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,880 Speaker 1: for a long time or ever, and then you start 395 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: to do you know, a certain movement, generally, it's gonna 396 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: feel good if you do it, you know appropriately, and 397 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: you know, give a time, sure we're meant to move. 398 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:40,959 Speaker 1: And so there you go. I just I haven't been 399 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: this annoyed doing research because it's just it sounds good, 400 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 1: it's made to sound smart, and it's just another way 401 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:54,119 Speaker 1: to avoid doing what works. And if the supposed smartest people, 402 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: by the way, who don't have the fitness backgrounds, education, 403 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: if they're not looking at the science and doing what 404 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 1: works to begin with, that's a problem. That's a problem, 405 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: all right, Enough, kept it under thirty with the at 406 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: least you know.

And people who 411 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: shouldn't be in the space are playing in the space, 412 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: and you know they don't need to name them, but 413 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: I will debunk their bunk with the science and what works. 414 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: All right.
