WEBVTT - Biohacking BS 0:00:00.840 --> 0:00:05.880 Welcome to Fitness Disrupted, a production of My Heart Radio. 0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:18.040 I am Tom Holland, and this is Fitness Disrupted. All right, 0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:22.520 I'm annoyed. I'm annoyed before the show even started. I 0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:25.800 got annoyed doing research for this show. So I think 0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:27.200 you're going to enjoy it. I know many of you 0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:29.200 enjoy when I get amped up, when I get annoyed, 0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:34.320 and I am right now. I'm annoyed that I had 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:36.960 to do the research I had to do and sift 0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:39.519 through all the garbage I had to to bring you 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:45.080 this show, which shows that it's the perfect topic. It's 0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:49.080 the perfect topic, and I said, I have to do 0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:52.440 this show after I received yet another pitch for a 0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:57.560 potential guest on this show that had this term in 0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:01.040 their bio. And yes, thanks to having done this show 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:04.240 for several years now, I get pitched guests every day. 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:08.400 Different PR firms reach out and I love it. Um 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:12.319 there's a lot of bad, bad pitches, but you know 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:16.880 that's life. And when this word is in their bio 0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:21.080 in the pitch, especially at the top, I just cringe. 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:25.199 And you've probably figured out what that term is from 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:29.240 the title of this podcast. It's a four letter word. 0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:35.119 And it makes me nuts. And it's hack, and it's 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:40.440 specifically bio hack, bio hack, bio hacker. And then yes, 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:45.880 using that verb in so many different ways hack your metabolism. 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:49.440 I've talked about that before. What does that mean? But 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:56.160 after receiving yes yet another potential guest who's a bio hacker, 0:01:58.320 --> 0:01:59.600 he said, I got to do a show on this, 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:03.760 and I will do many more shows where I specifically 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:07.600 go into the specific hacks. I don't want it today. 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:11.240 I'm annoyed that I I'm going to talk about them 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.839 just the way they are. But many of them you've 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:16.000 people have reached out, and yeah, they're worth doing a 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:20.880 show about. I have to preface all of this by saying, 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:24.520 do listen to my podcast. You know my philosophy. I 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:31.240 approach everything I do with the completely open mind. I 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:36.440 want to find all of the best ways for you 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:40.919 to live your best life too. Yeah, get the greatest 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:44.720 results in the shortest amount of time with the least 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:49.560 likelihood of injury. That's my job. And so when it 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:55.200 comes to bio hacking or hacking, just saying the words 0:02:55.480 --> 0:03:03.800 makes me cringe. It's just had a loss for words. 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:08.519 I really am oh so yeah, just doing this. The 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:12.000 research for this show annoying me, and I actually stopped 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:16.880 maybe a little earlier, like I didn't need anymore examples 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:25.000 of of unsubstantiated, unscientific mumbo jumbo, which is what so 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:32.680 much of this is, okay, bio hack. Bio hack is 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:37.920 a twenty one century you know, Silicon Valley silver bullet, 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:42.040 shortcut turn for me, that's how I look at it. 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:47.960 It sounds great, it's so like you know, it's so 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.120 Silicon Valley, and so many of the guys pushing it 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:56.000 are that type. And and I'll finish up with that. 0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:58.640 But what is it some of you going, I don't, 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:01.360 I don't know what bio hack is. Well, even those 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:02.840 of you who think you know what it is, you 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:08.000 really don't, because it's it's basically d I Y biology, 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:11.320 do it yourself right, And that that's what I love 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:15.560 too about so many of these notable names within this community. 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:19.719 They have no scientific background. They're one of those people 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:23.520 who you know, in equals one figured something out for themselves, 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:28.760 it worked, and now their way is the only way. 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:32.160 And many of them are making a killing off of 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:35.680 selling products and supplements. I would argue with the twenty 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:40.679 one century equivalent of snake oil. But yeah, bio hacking 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.520 is give you one definition I found, and it's not 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:47.800 even really It's an extremely broad and amorphous term that 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:51.400 can cover a huge rage of activities. And I added 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.760 in with the hope of what boosting physical and cognitive 0:04:54.800 --> 0:05:00.240 performance bio hacking. But when you say it, when people 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:02.200 read it, what are you reading that for bio hacking? 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:08.920 It's basically a shortcut. It's something new and novel, which 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:11.599 is problematic right then and there, but it's a shortcut 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:15.560 bio hack. And that's when we talk hacky metabolism, hack 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:20.640 your exercise routine. It's it's just basically common sense, which 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:24.560 is why the term annoys me so much. It's excessive 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:31.919 moderation at the end of the day. And so it's 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:37.080 also just taking that scientific breakthrough, right the stuff we 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:42.640 heard on late night TV. Never before you know, heard 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:46.960 of results or or you know, uh science, Yeah, scientific breakthrough. 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:52.360 Leave it at that, bio hacking. All right, let's take 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:56.200 a break, take a deep breath, get more amped up. 0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:01.120 We're gonna go into this and this, you know, let's 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:13.880 take a break. We'll be right back talking about bio hacking. 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:21.080 Just it's I'm worked up. Let me just throw out 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:27.960 one of the myriad supposed benefits of these bio hacks, 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:33.680 because it kind of just puts it perfectly. One of 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:35.880 the biohacks. I don't even give you the specifics because 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:39.039 it doesn't matter. So many of them claim these two things, 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:46.480 well three things, boosts cellular regeneration and fights aging by 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:51.640 detoxifying your body. Actually they say detoxing, not that there's 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:57.520 a difference, but you know, boosts celluler regeneration, okay, and 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:04.360 fights aging by detoxifying your body. All right, let's get 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:10.760 into just some really interesting supposed bio hacks. Now, again, 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:14.360 as I read in that one definition, it's broad. It's 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:21.160 a morphous but boosting physical and cognitive performance. I so 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:23.000 want to just skip to the end here. And that's 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:26.320 what annoyed me so much about doing this research for 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:29.560 this show, because I just want to skip to the takeaway. 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:31.360 And I'm actually not gonna spend too much time here 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:33.720 on that. It's gonna be a shorter show because it 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:37.560 doesn't deserve that much attention. And again, I'm gonna say 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:41.000 one more time, I'm reading all the latest research because 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:42.600 I want to know. I want to be the best 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.320 I can be. If there is a bio hack out there, people, 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:47.720 I will bring it to you. I will bring it 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:51.600 to you. And you'll also hear about it in the 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:58.440 news and in journals and in you know, reputable media 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:07.000 outlets and sources, not from someone selling you crazy potions 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:12.360 and supplements and then gadgets that. Yeah, you get in 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:19.400 or get on or put on. M hmm, alright, So 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:23.640 here's just a here's like six or seven drinking salt juice, 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:29.000 injecting DNA, injecting a younger person's blood into your body. 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:33.360 That's a bio hack, younger transfusion so you feel younger. 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:36.679 That makes sense. Let's let's do the Keith Richards Uh 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:42.240 supposed righty transfusion at old myth? So yeah, that's that's supposedly. 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.200 It's not supposedly, it's what some people are doing, injecting 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:49.679 younger people's blood into their body. Okay. Uh, different light systems, 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:52.760 infra red lights and things like that. And listen, have 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:54.760 a bunch of these products and pitched these products all 0:08:54.760 --> 0:09:00.280 the time. It's the proposed benefits that I have. Shoot, 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:03.679 I take issue with all right. Fecal transplants. Yeah, that 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:06.680 came up. That came up in my research. That was fun. 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:12.840 That was fun. It's like, yeah, that cryotherapy. Now, I 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.920 did a whole show on that with Lindsay Barra, right 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:21.320 Yogie Betters, Barra's granddaughter, incredible fitness writer, and talking about 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:25.880 how actually it's the opposite when when you're using cryotherapy 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:29.600 for recovery. As listen, I read about and started doing 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.240 when I first started doing triathons, that's what triathletes did. 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:35.240 And then when you read the research, you go, ah, actually, 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:41.760 maybe that's preventing delaying recovery and muscle synthesis and things 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:46.680 like that. But that aside, like the other benefits they 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:51.439 are proposing for cryotherapy, far exceed that. I mean, there's 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:53.840 certain things I go okay, And as you know, if 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:56.560 you've listened to my podcast and know my philosophy is 0:09:56.720 --> 0:10:00.679 if it doesn't hurt you, I'm open to anything. But 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:03.800 as I will get to at the end here, there's 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:06.640 one of the main reasons I have a problem with 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:09.079 this will make sense when I get to I want 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:11.679 to give it away. Yet all right, other words they 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:15.719 use all the time in bio hacking is optimizing in 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:22.559 that great optimizing, upgrading, upgrading, Now, what what is what 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:29.000 is one incredibly obvious aspect of these terms that I 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:36.360 just threw out to you, optimizing, upgrading, boosting. You can't 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:41.079 measure it. You can't measure it, so there's no way 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:47.160 to disprove it. And unfortunately, I'm just gonna be honest 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:49.439 as I always am. You know, there are people have 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:51.920 been in this industry long enough that I know did 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:56.360 some pretty calm kookie for lack of a or what. 0:10:57.080 --> 0:10:59.199 I don't want to throw a scientific term out there, 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:03.800 they're along with us. Now. The problem is when these 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:06.679 people do some crazy things in the fitness world and 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:10.160 nutrition world and then they pass at a younger age 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:17.959 is almost never you can't definitely say oftentimes why they 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:21.319 passed earlier. It's not connected. I'm just gonna leave it 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:23.480 at that. So, in other words, a lot of these 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:30.320 people who are pushing these bio hacking things strategies, will 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:32.600 they really live to be? Will they live to be? 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:39.480 Se Okay, But you can't measure it, and so it 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:42.360 actually goes against the science. Right. So in other words, 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.160 what's the line that's used all the time. If you 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:47.760 can't measure it, you can't manage it. Well, how do 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:53.920 you measure upgrading? How do you measure cellular regeneration? How 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:58.439 do you even measure detoxifying? Well, there's there's snake oilways. 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:00.880 You know. You put the pads on the bottom of 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:04.000 your feet and see them get dirty, and that's toxins 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:07.840 supposedly in many different snake oil ways like that. But 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:10.440 you start to see what I'm talking about with how 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:14.240 vague these terms are, and I got it. You know 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:17.560 you probably no one of the people I'm referring to 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.640 here don't need to use this person's name, although they 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:25.400 are one of the proponents like putting bio hacking on 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:28.560 the map, and he says he wanted to take control 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:31.840 of his own biology. I'm all for that. What this 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:36.280 shows about also goes into that he wants to push 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:41.320 the bounds of human possibility. I'm I'm for that, But 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:47.720 that's what does that mean? What does that mean? Okay? Uh? 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:50.439 And again I'm just bringing you this person's bio because 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:53.720 it goes to what we're talking about here, and because 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:56.360 he is someone who pushes this. This person claims to 0:12:56.400 --> 0:13:00.400 have upgraded his brain. Okay again, show me, shoe me. 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:06.400 And finally, this was a great quote because this person says, 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:10.480 one of the fathers of bio hacking. I don't want 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:14.840 to be just healthy. That's average. Uh No, it's not. 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:18.160 I'm gonna stop there. There's one more sentence, but I 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:22.840 gonna stop there. Being healthy is not average. It's not 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:26.080 even close to being average. In today's world, over of 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:28.839 people are dealing with weight issues. Many of you are 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:31.040 listening to the show for that reason. And that's why 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:33.959 I'm just gonna know. See, I'm getting worked up. I can't, 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:38.360 you know, kind of skip to the end here. This 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:40.960 is wasting your time and money. That's my main problem 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:44.040 with this. When the number I do, how fourteen minutes in? 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:46.959 I thought i'd get farther this. This is why I 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:49.280 was so annoyed when reading all of this stuff into 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:52.840 this doing I don't even want to call it research. 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:57.600 I could have spent my time really looking into stuff 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:02.200 that is going to help you. That's my job. But 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:09.080 part of my job is debunking these really popular, questionable practices. Now, 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:13.160 prove me wrong, prove me wrong. But here's the thing. 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:16.439 All the stuff I give you, and all this stuff 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:18.520 we we talked about I talked about here with you, 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:22.640 I know works right, the excessive moderation, the strength training, 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:27.160 the drinking water, the eating healthy, the whole foods. You know, 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:32.240 there's no blue zones into any of this stuff. In 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:35.600 other words like evolution and people living to be you 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:38.840 know past a hundred or you know, nineties hundreds and 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:42.360 beyond and and and just healthy lives, vibrant lives at 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:45.800 that at that age. The people that are trying to 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:50.560 bio hack are not doing the basics to begin with. 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:57.440 It's a short cut, it's avoiding the work. I'm throwing 0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:00.880 out a bunch of notes here. It's thrown out a 0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:02.960 bunch of work. But but you know what, let me 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:05.800 back up, because I want, I want you to I 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:13.520 did grab three different bio hacking machines protocols that are 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:16.280 are pitched by that same person. Okay. One is an 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.880 atmospheric cell trainer, and I'm quoting here. It is a 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:25.600 workout for your cellular energy systems experienced improved cellular energy, 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:32.120 enhanced detoxification, and increased production of stem cells. Can any 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:36.040 of that be proven? Do they show that you've increased 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:41.080 stem cells? Do they show that you've enhanced your detoxification? 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:46.880 And how how do you how do you show that 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:50.000 you've improved your cellular energy. Let me give you two 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:53.560 more The Big Squeeze that's a full body detox massage 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:59.600 and lymphatic drainage technology system. And one final one Breather 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:04.479 Ease Experience performance gains of up to and reduced oxidative 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:10.560 stress by breathing exclusion zone water. This energetically charged water 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:15.960 simulates and amplifies your body's natural natural I'm getting worked 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:22.480 up your body's natural cellular repair process, allowing yourselves to 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:26.880 produce energy more effectively. I get worked up and I 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:30.000 get tongue tied because it's just it's hard to It's like, 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:31.680 it's hard for me to do a bad push up 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:34.760 because I'm so used to maintaining proper form It's hard 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:37.200 for me to read this garbage. And I'm gonna like, 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:40.080 that's a strong word for me to say that. But 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:43.080 this stuff is expensive, and even then if you have 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:51.080 the money, it wastes your time. These machines you gotta 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:53.560 you gotta go to that facility, you gotta get in 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:56.760 it spend like I don't know, half hour hour depending 0:16:56.760 --> 0:17:00.000 on what you're doing. And that is at the expense 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:10.159 of doing what doing Some strength training, doing some cardiovascular activity, meditating, stretching. 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:12.760 The five components of fit is when the number one 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:17.080 reason for lack of exercise is time. Why do you 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:25.520 have the time to waste on something unproven? Unproven? Okay, 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:30.359 let's take one more break. Oh I knew I'd be 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:33.120 all over the place, but that's okay because this topic 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:48.119 calls for it. All right, we'll be right back all right, 0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:53.120 talking about bio hacking what I like to call silicon valleys, 0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:57.000 silver bullet. You know, they're looking for an edge. I 0:17:57.119 --> 0:18:01.959 get it. But let's let's go there. I do the triathlons, 0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:07.520 you know, running marathon's ultras, been competitive. I've done it 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:10.880 to just finish and have goals for years, getting back 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:16.320 to getting competitive. If this stuff worked, all the top 0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:19.000 people would be doing it. All the top people would 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:22.080 be doing it, all the top athletes. If it worked. 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:27.480 They want that edge, and so let me go there. Actually, 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:30.520 I'm gonna skip ahead again. Who can do this? You 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:34.080 know who can do this stuff? Professional athletes like I 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:39.080 just said Tom Brady, Right, if you have the money 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:41.160 and do have the time, because it's your job, because 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:45.720 all these people do, you know, is sleep, train, eat, train, recover, 0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:51.679 sleep train eat recover, which is part of sleep. And 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:56.360 so yeah, they're gonna try all of these novel things 0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:59.639 because they've already done the work and they are still 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:02.840 doing the work. They are doing their strength training, they 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:07.560 are eating healthy. This is like supplements. People. You can 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:11.399 go sit in a pod and and pay it, you know, 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:15.680 a fortune for that, or pop some pills. But if 0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:18.840 you're not exercising your heart and making it stronger and 0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:22.240 taking control of stress and and you know, lifting weights 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:26.000 and getting strong and working on your weaknesses and imbalances 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:28.959 and getting your blood work in line through all the above, 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:34.480 it's worthless and it's a waste. But if it's your job, 0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:37.520 of course, And that's why I'm going to go off 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:39.200 on a tangent for a very short amount of time, 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:44.040 trainers to like Tom Brady. You know, I haven't gone 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:49.800 into his program yet, but like thirty depends on the 0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:52.600 person's time. It's gonna be stuff like this because they 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:55.199 have the time and they've done the work, and so 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:57.280 how do you get that little advantage. They're gonna try 0:19:57.320 --> 0:20:00.720 different things like this, Sure all sleep and you know, 0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:03.520 going an infrared sauna and I'll do this kind of stuff. 0:20:03.760 --> 0:20:08.080 But I've already done all of the other stuff. All 0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:14.399 of the other stuff. Okay, that's the difference until you 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:22.480 get the basics in line, which people don't. Okay, none 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:26.159 of this is going to make a difference as of 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:29.720 right now, according to the science, according to the literature, 0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:34.640 according to the numbers we see with people that goes 0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:40.080 for health metrics, overweight obesity, the results from COVID, you know, 0:20:40.119 --> 0:20:45.200 people's immune systems, people getting sick. And I'm gonna say 0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:48.560 it one last time. I have the most open mind. 0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:52.119 I don't want someone else to have an advantage that 0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:55.040 I don't have. But I'm sure as heck not gonna 0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:58.200 waste time or money on something when I can be 0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:04.360 doing things that no work. That's the problem. Okay, let 0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:08.320 me truly keep this short. One of the lines I 0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:10.359 pulled out in one of the articles as I was 0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:15.359 researching this topic, it said, why why do people I 0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:21.440 want to bioac what's the point? And it said, actually, 0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:24.320 blew me away. One of the more ambitious types of 0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:31.240 bio hacking is life extension, the attempt to live longer. Really, 0:21:33.000 --> 0:21:36.760 that's that's the more ambitious type of bio hacking. Guess 0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:44.800 what we have the answers. The answers are there. They're 0:21:44.800 --> 0:21:48.280 in all the podcasts I have done. They're in all 0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:55.560 the podcasts I will do. The trouble is people finding 0:21:55.560 --> 0:22:01.320 what works for them and then doing it. Okay, when 0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:04.600 you waste time, let me read. I pulled this out. 0:22:04.680 --> 0:22:09.040 So what was that machine? One of the pods when 0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:12.159 you sit in a comfortable futuristic pod that uses a 0:22:12.320 --> 0:22:15.160 change in air pressure to create a workout for your 0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:19.159 cellular energy system, instead of doing something you know that 0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:23.720 works for you, that's not extending your life the way 0:22:24.040 --> 0:22:28.000 we need to do it right now. I love fitness technology. 0:22:28.040 --> 0:22:31.159 I have it all, most of it. I try a 0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:33.840 couple of times, and then I go back to what works. 0:22:33.880 --> 0:22:36.200 Because I don't have a lot of time. I gotta 0:22:36.240 --> 0:22:39.320 find time to stretch and to do my strength training 0:22:39.680 --> 0:22:41.840 and to work on my weaknesses, and to do my 0:22:41.920 --> 0:22:45.399 shoulder internal external rotation, and to do my lower body 0:22:45.600 --> 0:22:47.639 workout that I'm not as crazy about, and to go 0:22:47.800 --> 0:22:51.560 swim and do all these things. And this is my job. 0:22:52.320 --> 0:22:56.199 So I'm not a professional athlete, but similar space and 0:22:56.240 --> 0:23:00.399 I will try these things. I will try everything. But 0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:02.840 when we have twenty four hours in the day, and 0:23:02.880 --> 0:23:07.080 I want to extend my life. I'm gonna do things 0:23:07.119 --> 0:23:11.600 that I know work. Okay, that's why this whole show 0:23:11.680 --> 0:23:14.720 made me nuts. We should be focusing on how to 0:23:14.840 --> 0:23:18.600 get people doing things that we know works. You think 0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:21.520 getting in a pod a couple of times a week 0:23:23.400 --> 0:23:26.320 it's going to change anything if you don't do all 0:23:26.359 --> 0:23:30.120 the other things we've talked about. And let me wrap 0:23:30.160 --> 0:23:31.840 it all up with this. I get offended. I get 0:23:31.840 --> 0:23:34.920 somewhat offended when I read a bio hacker like that 0:23:34.920 --> 0:23:37.280 that says to me, you figured something out that I 0:23:37.320 --> 0:23:41.199 don't know. You're gonna You're gonna bring something to me 0:23:41.280 --> 0:23:44.800 that I don't like. As I say, this sounds a little, 0:23:44.880 --> 0:23:48.320 you know, egotistical, But listen, I'm reading everything. It's gonna 0:23:48.359 --> 0:23:50.240 be in a journal, it's gonna be in a paper, 0:23:51.480 --> 0:23:54.720 and I'm open minded, and listen, I'm sure at some point, 0:23:55.240 --> 0:23:58.480 for whatever reason, I will have well, I don't even 0:23:58.480 --> 0:24:00.720 know that I was gonna say of these people on 0:24:01.200 --> 0:24:05.320 some of these people, but they gotta be bringing something else. 0:24:05.800 --> 0:24:08.280 And as soon as I see that that word it 0:24:08.840 --> 0:24:14.480 the red flag is flying, is flying. We don't have 0:24:14.560 --> 0:24:17.640 a lot of time. We are busy people. My goal 0:24:17.680 --> 0:24:19.320 is to get you the greatest results in the shortest 0:24:19.320 --> 0:24:21.080 amount of time, with the least likelihood of injury, with 0:24:21.080 --> 0:24:23.239 stuff that I know works. So I'm not wasting your 0:24:23.240 --> 0:24:24.800 time and your money. I'm gonna bring you the latest, 0:24:24.800 --> 0:24:29.679 greatest everything. But the term bio hack bio hacker annoys me. 0:24:30.400 --> 0:24:35.240 It's rarely a PhD person. And the PhD people I 0:24:35.359 --> 0:24:37.000 bring to you on the show, what do they all say? 0:24:37.000 --> 0:24:41.600 It depends, but they go back to what we know works. 0:24:42.280 --> 0:24:45.240 Getting your heart rate up through exercise, whatever that is 0:24:45.280 --> 0:24:48.720 for you, lifting heavier things, putting healthy things in our body, 0:24:48.840 --> 0:24:51.879 not focusing. By the way, intermittent fasting, all that stuff 0:24:51.880 --> 0:24:54.639 came up as as bio hacking. That's been around forever. 0:24:56.040 --> 0:24:58.160 It's been around forever. It doesn't work, of course it works, 0:24:58.160 --> 0:25:01.480 and you know cellu regeneration or something like. That's why 0:25:01.840 --> 0:25:03.879 most people are doing intermittent fasting. They're doing it to 0:25:03.920 --> 0:25:06.600 lose weight, and they're going for long periods of time 0:25:06.960 --> 0:25:09.440 without eating, and then they're not eating healthy when they do. 0:25:10.520 --> 0:25:12.119 Let's see, I'm getting worked up and going off on 0:25:12.160 --> 0:25:15.080 a tangent. But this is a perfect example of where 0:25:15.080 --> 0:25:21.000 I get annoyed because things that are simple are made 0:25:21.000 --> 0:25:24.080 to seem complex, and things that are complex are made 0:25:24.119 --> 0:25:27.520 to seem simple to sell you stuff at at a 0:25:27.600 --> 0:25:32.000 ridiculous price and keep you from doing what you should 0:25:32.000 --> 0:25:37.119 be doing to guarantee results. And when it takes time, people, 0:25:38.320 --> 0:25:41.399 you don't have time. You know, everyone wants the results 0:25:41.400 --> 0:25:43.480 in the shortest amount of time. Right, I want to 0:25:43.520 --> 0:25:46.240 lose weight. You know, it's one to two pounds a week. 0:25:46.280 --> 0:25:50.760 And by the way, this is this the same person UH, 0:25:50.960 --> 0:25:54.920 you know, vilifies healthy foods. Here's a quote, vilifies healthy 0:25:54.960 --> 0:25:59.080 foods and UH suggests you can lose a pound to 0:25:59.160 --> 0:26:06.280 day through their science based products. All right, enough, this 0:26:06.359 --> 0:26:08.320 was this was This was all over the place, but 0:26:08.440 --> 0:26:13.159 for a reason. It's a perfect example of when I 0:26:13.280 --> 0:26:16.480 started this show what I knew I needed to bring 0:26:16.480 --> 0:26:21.160 to you. And it's hard to sell the basics. It's 0:26:21.160 --> 0:26:26.160 hard to sell excessive moderation. I'm living proof it works. 0:26:27.680 --> 0:26:31.720 And you know, at fifty three and no issues with 0:26:31.800 --> 0:26:34.159 all that I've done as far as events and stuff. 0:26:35.000 --> 0:26:37.320 I'd like to think that I'm yes and an equals 0:26:37.359 --> 0:26:41.119 one example, but you know, leave you with this with 0:26:41.200 --> 0:26:44.520 that that person, that person wants to, you know, maximize 0:26:44.560 --> 0:26:51.280 their potential. Show me what you're doing. Give me quantifiable stuff. 0:26:52.280 --> 0:26:56.320 Are you are you pring your your five k are 0:26:56.320 --> 0:26:59.520 you biking? What are you doing physically? Show me, don't 0:26:59.520 --> 0:27:04.199 give me these vague things cognitive you know, upgrades and 0:27:04.240 --> 0:27:07.680 guess what, as soon as you start doing anything, you're 0:27:07.680 --> 0:27:12.879 gonna feel better. You start pick a pick a exercise modality. 0:27:13.400 --> 0:27:15.359 If you've done nothing and you start to do yoga, 0:27:15.440 --> 0:27:17.120 it's gonna be the greatest that you've ever done because 0:27:17.160 --> 0:27:19.160 you're starting to move your body. If you've done nothing 0:27:19.400 --> 0:27:21.880 for a long time or ever, and then you start 0:27:21.960 --> 0:27:25.520 to do you know, a certain movement, generally, it's gonna 0:27:25.560 --> 0:27:30.240 feel good if you do it, you know appropriately, and 0:27:30.480 --> 0:27:33.000 you know, give a time, sure we're meant to move. 0:27:34.720 --> 0:27:40.959 And so there you go. I just I haven't been 0:27:41.000 --> 0:27:45.560 this annoyed doing research because it's just it sounds good, 0:27:45.800 --> 0:27:49.359 it's made to sound smart, and it's just another way 0:27:49.359 --> 0:27:54.119
