Speaker 1: love men's health because I'm a man and I love health.

00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: or something to that effect.

10
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 2: Like every time I get depressed, I'm just or every

Speaker 3: this is for your not just your your obness, your

00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,839

Speaker 3: and your productivity and all the benefits that you get

23
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 3: from health.

24
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: When did that happen for you?

25
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 2: Well, I think health for me started my mom put

26
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,839
Speaker 2: me in Tik one Do when I was young, very young,

27
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: and it taught me discipline, and then she put me

28
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 2: I loved football, so I loved watching football, so I

29
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: wanted to play football. And then you know, that taught me,

30
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 2: you know, just the grind of things and if you can,

31
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 2: that taught me how to be competitive and if you

32
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: work hard at something, you know you could, you could

33
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 2: make it happen, right, because I wasn't the most talented,

34
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: So for me, that's when I first got introduced kind

35
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: of the health is like just the sports and the

36
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: competitiveness of it, the community of it, the unity of it.

37
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: And I kind of started loving fitness then. And then

38
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: I wanted to be different, so I just started working out.

39
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: I wanted to be shredded. I used to watch how

40
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 2: Old That You? Probably around eighteen is when I really

41
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 2: started getting into my fitness, and I was I became

42
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: obsessed with with having abs. In fact, I had a

43
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 2: Calvin climbox that I would literally have in my little

44
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: room that I was in, Yeah, and I'd always look

45
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: at that box. And then if you remember Fight Club

46
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: from nineteen ninety nine. I had like a poster Brad Pitt,

47
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 2: and like that's the body that I wanted, right, And

48
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 2: so at first I did it for vanity reasons, and

49
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: you know, now that I'm older, it's really just about

50
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: like that's what keeps me sane. Like I often say,

51
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 2: like there's people that take pills to calm them down,

52
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 2: Like for me, it's it's my workouts. Yeah. When I

53
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 2: work out, man, I just I get so relaxed. I

54
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 2: get comfortable, and it doesn't matter what comes my way.

55
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: Like I'm good because I'm so overlashed. Right, So I

56
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: love running now and all that good stuff. When did

57
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 2: it start for you?

58
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: For me? Very similar young sports and discipline and pushing

59
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: through you know, the pain, and just getting it done

60
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: to get to the other side and feel good about

61
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 1: yourself mentally, physically, emotionally. There's so many benefits with it.

62
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: I didn't start lifting weights until after high school because

63
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: somebody told me that if you start lifting weights too young,

64
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna stay short, and of course I didn't want

65
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: to be a short guy. And then when I got

66
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: into bodybuilding, I really just started hitting the ways hard

67
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: and at the time, I really didn't know what nutrition

68
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: was about. I would eat burritos, hamburgers, tacos, everything in

69
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: large substance, and it just didn't work out well. Put

70
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: some weight on me, but it didn't really work out well.

71
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: And then in college it took some nutrition classes and

72
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: in combination with that and talking to the actual bodybuilders

73
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: that I used to work out around that Gold gym,

74
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: it taught me that nutrition is super, super important, not

75
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: just for growth, but for definition and performance and longevity.

76
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: And I really got into it and that was all

77
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: about it. While I was going to college. I remember

78
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 1: taking my food to class and you know, it's it's

79
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: eating time, so I'm going to open it up and

80
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: it's it's a really smelly chicken dish that's got a

81
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: lot of garlic, and it nervody in the room is

82
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: like can you go outside and eat? Like, hey, I

83
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: gotta eat, man, it's time to eat. I want to

84
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: schedule right here. So I was so into it, and

85
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: then I that's kind of what got me into the

86
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: fitness and health space. I started training clients and I

87
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: was dating a girl who was a trainer, and I

88
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: really got into it. She talked me into start teaching

89
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: classes on stage. I was scared to death, but it

90
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: really taught me, you know, what I needed to know

91
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: to get my confidence because, as I mentioned early on,

92
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: my vision in the future was to be wearing a

93
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: suit talking business to a group of people who are

94
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: listening to my subject. Right, So that was my visual

95
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: and when it came down to it, in teaching a class,

96
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: a group fitness class, I was in front of an audience,

97
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: but I was in my shorts and T shirt and

98
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: teaching a group fitness class, which obviously I truly enjoyed

99
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: and I still enjoyed to this date. It's so much fun.

100
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: Well there was it like a hit workout you were teaching.

101
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: It was what it was called. The first class was

102
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: called body Pump and it was a group fitness class

103
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: with lighter weights, high repetitions, slow tempo, great introductory class

104
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: to lifting weights. Because during my era, it was the

105
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: stereotypical when you go to the gym, all the girls

106
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: around cardio equipment and all the guys are in the

107
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: weight room and never did they ever cross, you know, paths.

108
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: And for me, I loved both worlds. I'm a cyclist

109
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: at heart, I'm an endurance athlete at heart, but I

110
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: also love to lift weights. Because the vanity side took

111
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: over and said, you can be a good cyclist, but

112
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: you don't want to look like a good cyclist. You

113
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: want to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger on the bike. And

114
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: that's a complete dichotomy, totally against everything that you know

115
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: physically that you can do. You're either an endurance athlete

116
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: or a power athlete. You just can't be both. But

117
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: I did it. I enjoyed it. I really had a

118
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:49,239
Speaker 1: great time with it. And you know, thinking back back

119
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: back before I got this heart issue, I was always

120
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 1: thinking like, what did I do to create this hard issue?

121
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: Apheb And I just can't help but think that maybe

122
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: pushing myself so hard, so long, so many years might

123
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: have contributed to my heart issue. In other words, I

124
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: was like a Ferrari pulling an eighteen wheeler up a

125
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: mountain on a bicycle. Right. It's just it doesn't make

126
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: any sense. But that's what I enjoyed, and that's what

127
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: I loved about it. I love riding my bike everywhere

128
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: and riding it hard. I love lifting, and I just

129
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: love the way I felt and the way people around

130
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: me admired me, right, not just the aesthetics of it,

131
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: but the respect you get from people who know how

132
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: hard it is to build that kind of body, or

133
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: to build that kind of strength, or to build that

134
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: kind of performance. Right, it feels good, it feels It

135
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: made me taste the beginnings of success. It made me

136
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: feel really good that if you work hard, you will

137
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: succeed and people will respect you for that. Right.

138
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 2: And you mentioned the heart issue, right, A FIB. I

139
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 2: think it's what it's called, right, Yeah, So that came

140
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 2: out of nowhere, right, that was.

141
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: Left field.

142
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 2: So are you like in the best shape of your

143
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 2: life at the time.

144
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: No, I was just I think I was in the

145
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: fourth or fifth, maybe sixth year of the gym when

146
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: we had the gym cut Fitness, and I was training

147
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: clients and I was transitioning from cycling into running because

148
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: I wanted to do more spartan racing. And it was

149
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: exciting to me because I was kind of venturing out

150
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: trying new things because there's so much more to just

151
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: exercising or training clients. Everybody's so different. I was looking

152
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: for a different motivation experience that I can share with

153
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: potential clients, that can come to me and say, well,

154
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: why am I doing this? And that was my biggest

155
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: question to them all the time, what is your why

156
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: why are you here training? And for me it was like,

157
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: I just don't want to do another bicyc curl for

158
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: no reason. I don't want to do another squat for

159
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: no reason. And when I got into Spartan, it was

160
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: a little bit about everything endurance and strength, but not

161
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: bodybuilder strength and not you know, like marathon endurance, but

162
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: somewhere in between. So I really tried to find myself

163
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: in that world of obstacle course racing. It was a

164
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: lot of fun. I was pretty good at it. I

165
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: had the strength, I had the endurance. But the one

166
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: thing I remember is I didn't have the control of

167
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: my heart when I was running. I would just run

168
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: and my heart would be, you know, beaten out of

169
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: my chest, and I'd be like, that's normal, that's what

170
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 1: I'm That's just part of the pain that you feel

171
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: when you're exercising. And it wasn't until I beat it

172
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: up too much, you know, probably three years into Spartan racing.

173
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: Then I started having these weird episodes where I couldn't breathe.

174
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: It felt like I had asthma. I would run like

175
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: ten yards and I feel like I just sprinted one

176
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: hundred meters. And that's when I knew something was wrong,

177
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: but I didn't know what it was. I had no

178
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: idea that it was my heart. I thought it was

179
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: my lungs because I couldn't breathe right. And when I

180
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 1: went to the doctor, the general practitioners you know, checked

181
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: me out. You seem to be fine. I'm going to

182
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: send you to a cardiologist. I said, okay, I want

183
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: to see a cardiologist. Cardiologist says, okay, I can get

184
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: you in in two months. I'm like, okay, the problem's

185
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: going on right now, but i'll see you in two months.

186
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: And sure enough, leading up to the appointment, I was

187
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: in really good shape because I had a spartan race

188
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 1: coming up and again just pushing through the pain, pushing

189
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: through the two hundred beats per minute because I were

190
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: a heart rate monitor. It hard, yeah, and it wasn't.

191
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: It wasn't that I was pushing that hard, but because

192
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: the way atrofibrillation works, your heart shaking like this, so

193
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: it gives off a signal that your heart's beating twice

194
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: as fast, right, and the signal that comes on your

195
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 1: heart rate monitors, like two hundred beats from inn it

196
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: and what the hell is this? I'm not I'm not

197
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 1: like a teenager. I shouldn't be in this high range, right,

198
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: But it didn't make sense to me. It didn't. It

199
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: just didn't click, and I didn't figure it out until

200
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: you know, long story short, I met a doctor. I

201
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: told him the the my friend doctor Lee. I told

202
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: him what the symptoms were and he says, it sounds

203
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: like you had aphib and you should go see a

204
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: doctor right away. So we made an appointment and it

205
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: was three months later, and my wife's like, we can't

206
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: wait that long. So we found another doctor that could

207
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: get us sin sooner, and within about two weeks we

208
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: were and I think in sant Ana. There's a hospital there,

209
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: I forget the name of it that a doctor that

210
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: specializes in heart issues. And he diagnosed me and figured

211
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: it out. We have aphib we're dealing with. And he says,

212
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 1: here's how it works. Because of your insurance, I can't

213
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: go straight to and do a ablation. I have to

214
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: put you on drugs first. After the drugs don't work,

215
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: which is the minimum of two weeks you have to

216
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: take these drugs. Then I have to do a cardio

217
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 1: version on you, which is a like a resetting your

218
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: heart to rhythm. And if that doesn't work, then I'm

219
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: authorized to do a cart an ablation on you, which

220
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: is where they go into your heart and I try

221
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: not to think about it, but they go into your heart,

222
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: to your fremortal arteries and they zap your heart wall

223
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: so that the additional signals that are piercing through your

224
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: heart creating this electrical issue won't work anymore and you

225
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: get back to regular heartbeat. And that's the solution to

226
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: aphib right. The others obviously is drugs. And that's what

227
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: the first doctor said, is like, if these procedures don't work,

228
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: you can live with aphib and take drugs for the

229
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: rest of your life. I'm like, bro, I spent my

230
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: life exercising, eating healthy, taking care of my health, so

231
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: I don't end up on pharmaceuticals for the rest of

232
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: my life, and so I don't end up relying on

233
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: doctors for the rest of my life. This is why

234
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: I lived this lifestyle. So no, I am not taking drugs.

235
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: And he even proceeded to say, after the last ablation,

236
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: or the first ablation he did. He proceeded to say, well,

237
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: it didn't work, and the drugs aren't working, and we

238
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: have this one drug that we can try that you

239
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,719
Speaker 1: have to stay in the hospital for three days, two

240
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: or three days because in case you die, we have

241
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: to bring you back. And I'm like, what part of

242
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: I don't want to take drugs? Did you not understand?

243
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 3: Right?

244
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: So it was it was a scary time. The doctors

245
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: really couldn't tell me what caused it. They just they

246
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: said it's partially hereditary. And there's five profiles of people

247
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: that get this atro fibrillation. Women I think around sixty

248
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: five plus. They're susceptible, men seventy five plus. They're susceptible,

249
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: obese and sick, and you know, metabolic challenge people, smokers,

250
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: drug addicts, and people that abuse substances, and endurance athletes.

251
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, I never considered myself an endurance athlete,

252
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: but when I sat down and thought about it, I realized, Okay, well,

253
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: maybe riding a bike one hundred miles up a mountain

254
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: back and forth, that might be considered a lot of

255
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: work on the body and a lot of stress on

256
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: the body. So maybe I am an endurance athlete because

257
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: for me at the time, the definition of an durance

258
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: athlete is somebody that can run one hundred miles, right,

259
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: or ride a bike for two hundred miles. It's all relative, right,

260
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: I Mean when I used to talk about, yeah, I

261
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: just went on a fifty mile bike ride, People's eyes like,

262
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: you rode your bike for fifty miles. I don't even

263
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: drive my car twenty miles a day. How do you

264
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: ride for fifteen miles? Right, So it didn't really hit

265
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: me until I understood, Okay, so I am an endurance athlete.

266
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: I am pushing myself really hard and full circle. You know.

267
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: Still to today, I'm still trying to figure out what

268
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: caused it. I'm taking clues here and there. I'm still

269
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: learning on you know, the best nutrition practices, the best

270
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: way to avoid these things from happening. And it has

271
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: completely changed my way of looking at fitness in a

272
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: way where I'm looking for a longevity now. Because, yeah,

273
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: I grew up as an athlete. I know that pain

274
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: is just part of the journey. But if you're not

275
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: getting paid to be a professional athlete or to push

276
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: yourself that hard, it's it's not worth doing hit every day.

277
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: It's not worth kicking your ass in the gym every day.

278
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: I know it feels good, especially a good hit workout

279
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: just clears your head, but long term, think about the

280
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: risk reward. And I used to tell my clients, like,

281
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: you know, I don't totally have anything against CrossFit, but

282
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of the people that are human don't

283
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: qualify for CrossFit. It's too hard, it's too strong, it's

284
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: too taxing. And sure enough, you know, there was a

285
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: run of about five years of CrossFit where everybody was

286
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: getting hurt because they shouldn't be doing CrossFit it's just

287
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: too hard.

288
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 2: Like I was running seven days a week and man,

289
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 2: I started to get some lower back issues that I

290
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 2: was just like, okay, but I really need to run

291
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 2: seven days a week, you know, five miles a day, Like, no,

292
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 2: let me bring that back down to three. Because I

293
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 2: don't want to get as I get older, Like I

294
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 2: want to be able to walk and not be in pain.

295
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 2: I want to be able to play with the kids

296
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 2: and not be in pain. So like, I think that's

297
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 2: such a great point that you bring up into like moderation, right,

298
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 2: like you don't overdo it, especially when you're not getting

299
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 2: paid and you don't really have to go that hard.

300
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 2: How was your mental health after, because that's one of

301
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 2: the things that I worry about, Like I don't like

302
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 2: lifting heavy at all, just because I know how much

303
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 2: I love working out, and I'm like, man, if I

304
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 2: get hurt and I can't work out for the next

305
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 2: week or two weeks, I'm going to be in a

306
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 2: bad mood. And so obviously you have this heart condition

307
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 2: at the time, Well, I guess you kind of still

308
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 2: is like do you still do or it's pretty much gone.

309
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 1: It's pretty mu's gone. But that one year I was

310
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: diagnosed on December eighth, I think, twenty eighteen, and then

311
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: January twenty nineteen is when the journey started, and that

312
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: whole entire year was in and out of the hospital,

313
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: you know, trying to get diagnosed, trying to get fixed,

314
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: and trying to get the right drugs that don't have

315
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: or have very little side effects.

316
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 2: At this point, do you still have your cut business?

317
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: Yeah?

318
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 2: Business? Yeah, So this is happening through you as you

319
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 2: have the gym.

320
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: Yeah. And here is you know, a coach and a

321
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: leader in the space where I am motivating people to

322
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: do things that they don't think they can do physically right,

323
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: and I can't keep up with myself. I started feeling

324
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: a little about of depression, I think in the middle

325
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 1: of the year. And prior to that, I used to

326
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: think depression is just stupid excuse not to do anything right.

327
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: I mean, just get off your ass and go. And

328
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: I've had close friends and family that have experienced depression.

329
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, just get over it. It's stupid,

330
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: it's nothing right. But I think I actually experienced about

331
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: a depression because I couldn't exercise because it was exercise

332
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: and deuce, so I couldn't do any cardio. I really

333
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 1: didn't want to lift any weights because I just didn't

334
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: have the energy, didn't want to go to work. I

335
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: felt like an eighty year old man. I needed to

336
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: take a nap in the afternoon. I was not productive

337
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: and I didn't want to do a whole lot of anything.

338
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: I even hired one of my trainers to manage the

339
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 1: gym while I wasn't there. And I just really felt

340
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: bad about myself, you know, getting to this point where

341
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: what am I going to do? This is my livelihood,

342
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 1: this is my life, this is how I live this

343
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 1: is how I manage my mental health, my physical health,

344
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: my emotional health. This is all me. What am I

345
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: going to do now? You know, I'm not going to

346
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: take drugs for the rest of my life. You know,

347
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: it's just that's just not going to happen. So I

348
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: did a lot of research, I did a lot of reading,

349
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 1: and I learned, you know that you can fight it,

350
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: that there is a possibility that you can win. There's

351
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: a great book called Beat eight FIB or something like

352
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 1: that that really motivated me because it gave me scenarios

353
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,959
Speaker 1: of other people that have gone through a FIB and

354
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 1: what they did to beat it and how they beat it.

355
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: And I was very fortunate, very fortunate. I think that's

356
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: one of the reasons that that kind of God put

357
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: me in the path of being famous, right because being

358
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: famous gave me the privilege to reach out to one

359
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: of the top doctors in the world that said, you

360
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 1: know what, if nobody can fix you, I will take

361
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 1: you on and I'll fix you. And sure enough he did.

362
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 1: This guy was just an amazing doctor. Yeah, and he's

363
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: got like five or something like ten patents in the industry.

364
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: He's the guy that other doctors go to to hear

365
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: him speak and learn about it. So I I mean,

366
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: there's royalty that goes to this doctor from around the

367
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 1: world to have him fix them. And I got lucky

368
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: enough to have the best doctor help me, and he

369
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 1: fixed me. He really is. I call him my guardian

370
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 1: angel because he gave me a second chance to be

371
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: who I am today and help people, you know, because

372
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: you got to look at the silver lining. I'm on

373
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: this platform I can. I've had so many conversations with

374
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: other people who have had APHAN and experienced it and

375
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 1: asked me questions, you know, and I just experience share.

376
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: That's that's the best thing I can do.

377
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 2: As you're as you're going through the depression that you're

378
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 2: going through, the little mental health issue because obviously, again

379
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 2: you're used to working out every day, all of a

380
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 2: sudden that's taken away from you. Doest thou now start

381
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 2: to affect your marriage at all? Like are you snapping?

382
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 2: Are you just in a bad mood? Did that mess

383
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 2: with your marriage at all?

384
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: My wife told me that leading up to it, I

385
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: was pretty snappy and irritable a lot. And I don't

386
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: know if it was my health or it was just

387
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes when you own a business, there's a

388
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 1: lot of shit going on. I would say all the time, right,

389
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: But during the journey, it really brought us closer together.

390
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: It was never like there was some back and forth

391
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: because I in the beginning I didn't want to take

392
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: the drugs and she totally called me out on that

393
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: in front of the doctor, and I'm like, babe, I

394
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 1: thought you were on my side. But you know, she

395
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: was definitely looking out for my best interest, and there

396
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: was just I had a terrible experience with the drugs.

397
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: I don't like taking drugs. I don't like the way

398
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 1: they make me feel. But outside of that, she was

399
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: there supporting me, helping me, doing this much as she

400
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: can for me, you know, short of catering to me,

401
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: you know, because she's not that type of person. She

402
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: was really there to help me if I needed anything

403
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: anything at all, love, support, kindness, you know. Just she

404
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: was amazing. And she was struggling with it herself too,

405
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: like thinking like the worst case scenario, like what if

406
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: you diees, what do you as a stroke? Because it's

407
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: not aphib that is the medical problem or the risks,

408
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: it's the heart doing this and not pumping one hundred

409
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: percent of the blood in and out of the heart.

410
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: That causes clots to form in your heart and this

411
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 1: little area called the appendage. So if clots start to

412
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: form there after a little bit of time, those things

413
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: will go into your brain and now you have a stroke.

414
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,199
Speaker 1: And that's when things get really, really nasty. You know,

415
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: when you have you're pretty much screwed. Part of your

416
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: brain is dead, and now somebody has to take care

417
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: of you. And you know, jokingly, my wife would you know,

418
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: frequently joke about it, like if you get a stroke,

419
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 1: I'm not taking care of you. I Am not wiping

420
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: your ass for the rest of your life. So I said,

421
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:19,719
Speaker 1: it's not going to happen, but definitely scared me, definitely

422
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 1: woke me up. I'm still not totally for going to

423
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 1: see the doctor for any little reason. I still believe

424
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: that we all have to be responsible for our own

425
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 1: health and wellness and only go to the doctor to

426
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 1: do the deep dive. Like I just recently had my

427
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: blood drawn so I can get all my levels checked

428
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: and see where I'm at, you know, from my testosterone

429
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: to my cholesterol, to my vitamins and stuff like that,

430
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: vitamin levels just so I can stay aware, you know,

431
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: of how I'm doing. When I was in a in

432
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: the hospital and had APHEB, they I did all the

433
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 1: tests that you can imagine, everything came back clear and

434
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: my only problem was aphib So it was a very

435
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: rare thing to see. Right, most of the older generation

436
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: or the older people that get aphib or the people

437
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: that abuse their body get aphib is because of the abuse,

438
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 1: the trauma that your heart has gone through that creates

439
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: aphib So the only trauma that I can only think

440
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 1: of that I created for myself was pushing myself so

441
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 1: hard that my heart finally said, hey, I've had enough

442
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: of this one hundred and eighty beats per minute, I'm done. Yeah,

443
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 1: it really was a scary time. It took me about

444
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: three years to really start feeling confident that I can

445
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 1: get back to my normal life, which is cycling, you know,

446
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: for fifty sixty eighty miles, hiking, riding my dirt bike,

447
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 1: riding my Harley, staying active. I just love to stay

448
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: active and be outdoors and enjoy my life and traveling

449
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: right and being sick, you can't do any of those things.

450
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 2: Well, it's so important to move your body right, like

451
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 2: whenever I'm also like I find myself in a bad

452
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 2: mood or just going through a bad you know, you

453
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 2: have those bad days or just that two hours, like

454
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 2: I'll go walk or just around the corner, I'll get

455
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 2: on the treadmill, or you know, I'll go on a

456
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 2: little run. And it's just crazy how much you how

457
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 2: better you feel after you move your body, right versus

458
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 2: if you're just kind of laying there in bed all

459
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 2: day like that. I don't know about you, but that

460
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 2: puts me in a bad mood when I'm not moving

461
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 2: my body. I want to move my body all the time.

462
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 2: And you know, it's funny. Even when I take phone calls.

463
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 2: You know, now with the headphones and stuff, you can't

464
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 2: hear anything. I mean, the person listening to you can

465
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 2: They can only hear your voice. So most people don't know.

466
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 2: But I'm actually playing basketball as I'm talking to them,

467
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 2: like I'm shooting I'm driving in because I just I

468
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 2: love moving my moving my body, and it puts me

469
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 2: in like this good state, you know, like a peak state,

470
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 2: you know. And it's interesting. I tell people all the time,

471
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 2: don't make decisions when you're feeling bad or when you're

472
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 2: when you're in a bad sort of state of mind

473
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 2: because you're taking council from worry and doubt and fear.

474
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 2: So you want to put yourself in a good place

475
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 2: before you make a decision. So sometimes when I did

476
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 2: make a decision, I'll go run for twenty minutes, or

477
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 2: if I'm pissed off at someone, I'll go run for

478
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 2: twenty minutes, and then all of a sudden, I'm it's

479
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 2: like I have clarity. Yeah, yeah, right, and totally the

480
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 2: importance of that, right. So yeah, so I love everything

481
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 2: you said there. I actually like going to the doctor

482
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 2: every year and I like make sure they check everything

483
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 2: because you know, we just had Terry debro On prior

484
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 2: to this, andeah, you know he talked about, you know,

485
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 2: just the importance of catching stuff early, and like I'm like,

486
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 2: I personally want to live to one hundred years hopefully, right,

487
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 2: and and I want to catch it up early. So

488
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 2: I'm always like once a year, I'm going to the

489
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 2: doctor check for everything. And you know, obviously there's that

490
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 2: little fear part, but I just I rather know early

491
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 2: so we can fix something right, because you can't improve

492
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 2: on something you're not aware of.

493
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: You did that preneuble scan. Right, my wife did that.

494
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 2: I did anything? No, thank god they didn't. So a

495
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 2: great condition. And you know that was my whole thing

496
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,439
Speaker 2: is I want to be able to find you know.

497
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm terrified of like because I see

498
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 2: so many people that are in good health all of

499
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 2: a sudden have a heart attack. Right, So I'm like

500
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 2: telling the doctor, Hey, what do we gotta do? What

501
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 2: do we got to check? So my heart's in a

502
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 2: good condition, So like what do I need to do?

503
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 2: And and I mean so far, so so good. But yeah,

504
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 2: that's something I'm I'm very intentional about. You know, as

505
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 2: I get older, I'm eating less red meat. You know,

506
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 2: it's funny I had the same thing happen to me

507
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 2: with with when I was younger. I used to work

508
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 2: out in the gym for like two and a half hours,

509
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 2: and then after I'd go to Jack in the Box.

510
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 2: I'd go to a double Ultimate cheeseburger, I'd get the fries,

511
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 2: I'd get the cheesecake, and you know, I didn't know

512
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 2: any better, right, So it's just like why was my

513
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 2: body changing them? I mean like I was getting big

514
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 2: arms and you know, I was getting a big chest.

515
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 2: But like I just I wasn't eating right, but I

516
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 2: was putting two and a half hours right.

517
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

518
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 2: And then what's interesting is when I flipped the script

519
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 2: and I actually ate right. I only had to work

520
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 2: out for like forty minutes, yeah, forty minutes, forty five

521
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 2: minutes and eat right, and I was and I got shredded.

522
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 2: But what they say is true. Abs are made in

523
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 2: the kitchen. They are.

524
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 3: They are.

525
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you could do an AB workout all you want,

526
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 2: but if you're not eating right, it's not gonna happen.

527
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 3: Right.

528
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 2: So the you know the importance of eating right from

529
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 2: mental health as well. And now have you heard that?

530
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 2: I forgot where I read this, But if you had

531
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 2: a chance with what's better for your mental health? They

532
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 2: say either reading right, I'm sorry to exercise your mind right,

533
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 2: what's better reading or running? Running is number one? I

534
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 2: thought it was pretty interesting.

535
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, to me it makes sense because when you're running,

536
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: you're pumping fresh oxygen into your muscles, into your blood.

537
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: It's almost like circulating fresh air, which feeds the cells,

538
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: which makes you healthier, which makes them stronger. And I

539
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: think that is what gets into your head, the fresh blood,

540
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: the fresh fluids and everything that just cleanses you. If

541
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: you will just sweating, you know, that's a natural reaction

542
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: of exercising. You're detoxifying that way. Sitting still reading, Yeah,

543
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: it exercises your mind, but then the rest of your

544
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: body will deteriorate because it's not moving.

545
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 2: M Son.

546
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: Eventually, if you do just sit and read, your brain

547
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: might be active and we can, you know, cut your

548
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: head off and hold you there so you can read,

549
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: but the rest of your body is going to be

550
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: atrophied because it can't do anything.

551
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 2: So I do this, I think just because I got

552
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 2: used to it, But I don't know, Like I know

553
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 2: it does great for me, but I don't know the

554
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 2: science behind it. You being obviously, you know, taking all

555
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 2: the courses that you've taken, you probably could answer this.

556
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 2: But like for me, water is so important. Like I

557
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 2: feel that most people are tired all the time because

558
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 2: they're dehydrated and they don't even know it. But like

559
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 2: for me, like I got to have my gallon of

560
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 2: water every day, and that keeps me fresh and gives

561
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 2: me energy. And also I find that it doesn't it

562
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 2: allows me with not getting hungry. I'm constantly drinking my water. Right, Well,

563
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 2: so what are your thoughts on that.

564
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: My thoughts on water is that it is very important,

565
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: and that's probably one of the first lessons I learned.

566
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: Your muscles are made of seventy three percent water, right,

567
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 1: so logically you want to keep those hydrated so they

568
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: function properly, because the worst thing that can happen to

569
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: you is dehydration. Dehydration creates headaches, dehydration creates weakness and

570
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: cramping in your muscles. So water in and of itself

571
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: is really good for you. Now, the new science lately

572
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: is that salt, electrolytes, potassium, they all are essential nutrients,

573
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: minerals that your body needs to really take advantage of

574
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: the water because with water, if you drink too much water,

575
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: like a gallon of water, there's such a thing that

576
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: you can drown yourself.

577
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 2: I heard about it.

578
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: I've only heard it about two people, and I've and

579
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,040
Speaker 1: I have a friend, really good friend of mine, and

580
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: that data a girl who used to do that. And

581
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: when I met her, she would drink a gallon of

582
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: water and a couple of months later I found out

583
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: that she had that condition where she her brain was

584
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: full of water. She was just drinking too much water,

585
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: you know, excessive amounts of water for water. In my opinion,

586
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: it comes down to your lifestyle and environment. So if

587
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: you live in the desert and you're active, you definitely

588
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: have to increase your water intake. It's a no brainer, right.

589
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: But if you live in Alaska, where it's colder, maybe drier,

590
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: and you're not very active, you don't really need that

591
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 1: much water because you'll get it from your fresh food.

592
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 1: I mean most of the food in Alaska, fish and stuff,

593
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: it's fresh, right, or you do get water from fresh

594
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: whole foods. So if you live a life where you're

595
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: on the go all the time and you're eating out

596
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: of boxes and bags and you know, just everything processed,

597
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: you're definitely going to dehydrate yourself because your body uses

598
00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: the water to process all these dry foods. And here's

599
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: a perfect example. This is a new revelation. Our last

600
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: dog that we had was on dry kibble food, you know,

601
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 1: the dry dog food, and he would drink water all

602
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: the time. Now, our new dog that we just got,

603
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: he's on wet food. We order his food. He's kind

604
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: of spoiled, but all he eats is fresh wet food,

605
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: fresh vegetables, and fresh chicken and stuff like that, and

606
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:29,240
Speaker 1: he hardly ever drinks water. And to me, the logic

607
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: is he's getting his nutrition and his hydration from the food,

608
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 1: so he doesn't feel like he has to drink a

609
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: lot of water. Now, when we go up to the

610
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: mountains because it is drier, he does drink a little

611
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: bit more water. And you know, that just leads me

612
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: to believe the dogs pretty much are pretty smart animals.

613
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: They know when they need more water and when they don't.

614
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,760
Speaker 2: Right, interesting for us for someone for someone that drinks

615
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,760
Speaker 2: a lot of coffee, you need a lot more water, right.

616
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 1: I would say yes, because it's diuretic, But I mean,

617
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: don't go into extremes. You know, what is the definition

618
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: of a lot of coffee? Is it a pot of coffee? Yeah,

619
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 1: that's successive. But remember there's still liquid in the coffee.

620
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 1: The problem is not the hydration. The problem is the

621
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: amount of caffeine you're taken in. That's going to cause

622
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: other issues, right, Adrenal fatigue because you're running on fake energy,

623
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. To me, coffee is a

624
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,959
Speaker 1: nice thing to enjoy in the morning, but maybe one

625
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: cup or two at the most. I've been around people

626
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 1: who drink a pot of coffee. I had a client

627
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: who milligrams do you think is too much coffee? Yeah,

628
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: I'd say one cup of coffee it's around twenty five

629
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: to fifty milligrams, depending on whether it's an expresso or

630
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: just regular coffee.

631
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:50,399
Speaker 2: Right.

632
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you have more than four cups, that's successive.

633
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 1: So anything above one hundred milligrams with caffe is probably excessive.

634
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of drinks out there that easily

635
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,479
Speaker 1: taught that. You know, there's a lot of energy drinks

636
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: that are two hundred milligrams of caffeine, and that's why

637
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 1: people like them. It's not the taste, it's not the

638
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: health benefits. It's the two hundred milligrams of caffeine that

639
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: give you this fake energy. And you think you're operating

640
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: that your optimum performance, when in reality is you're not

641
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,320
Speaker 1: getting much sleep, you're not eating enough healthy nutrients to

642
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: feed yourself, so your organs work properly, and you're tired

643
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: all the time. But your solution is to drink more

644
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,760
Speaker 1: coffee and more coffee, more energy drinks, more energy drinks,

645
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: and you know, you get to the point where like, okay,

646
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: none of that is working, So maybe let's try a

647
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: pharmaceutical adderall, you know, so then they start taking adderall

648
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: and that stops working. So now let's try cocaine, and

649
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 1: let's try all these things you know that are fake energy. Right,

650
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: Natural pure energy, if you've ever experienced it and you have,

651
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: comes from the sun, comes from your diet, comes from

652
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,760
Speaker 1: your level of activity, and you're obviously your mental health.

653
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: You know, all those things are really important to give

654
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 1: you that natural energy. That's why I actually have friends

655
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 1: that bounce off the wall that don't drink coffee.

656
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 2: Well, it's so I'm glad you mentioned that because you

657
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 2: mentioned the sun, Like the sun is so important, Like

658
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 2: in the morning, I try to get sun as soon

659
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 2: as I can, right yeah, because it just it gets

660
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 2: you in, Like it gets me in a good mood,

661
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 2: right yeah. I notice when I'm in my office all day,

662
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,959
Speaker 2: I'm just not in a very good mood. The sun

663
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 2: just puts you in a good mood. I'd like to,

664
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 2: you know, fifteen twenty minutes, I'll take a call outside

665
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 2: in the sun. I try to do it in the

666
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,720
Speaker 2: morning before it gets crazy hot. Yeah, but there's something

667
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 2: about just being in the sun in the morning that

668
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,839
Speaker 2: just like you know, puts me in this mood and

669
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 2: it's like good peak mode, peak state.

670
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:58,359
Speaker 1: And consequently when it's you know, a month or two

671
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: of no sun and just that puts you in a

672
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,399
Speaker 1: bad mood too, right, right, I'm not kidding our son

673
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,720
Speaker 1: in California, and maybe that's when we get her into

674
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: our red light therapy sauna and get our you know,

675
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: our feed from that. But I have a friend who

676
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:20,839
Speaker 1: created this protocol called Superhuman Protocol and it's it's three

677
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: protocols that bring cellular energy to you. The first is grounding.

678
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: Have you ever grounded or heard of grounding?

679
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 2: I heard about it. This is when you walk in

680
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 2: cement and stuff, well just just walk barefoot un dirt

681
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 2: or grass, and the the energy from the earth electrifies

682
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 2: your cells and balances them out and kind of kind

683
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 2: of puts them in a pot in a position where

684
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 2: they're they're functioning an optimal performance and they're ready to

685
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 2: their charge, ready to absorb whatever you put it through.

686
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: That's the first protocol. And they make a electrical mat

687
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: it's called the PMF mat that you can lay on

688
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: for ten minutes a day and it does the exact

689
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 1: same thing. So the purpose behind that is for people

690
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 1: who are afraid to, you know, go barefoot anywhere, you

691
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: can use this map for that. The second part of

692
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: the protocol is oxygen. Forcing oxygen into your lungs to

693
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 1: get that into your cells, into your muscles, and you

694
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: don't have to do super hard cardio. You just put

695
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: this oxygen mask into your face and you do intervals

696
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 1: for like ten or fifteen minutes just to get your

697
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: heart rate up to pump that fresh, like ninety eight

698
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:44,760
Speaker 1: percent fresh oxygen into your system. That pure oxygen continues

699
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 1: to charge the cells, continues to fill the body. And

700
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: this is something I learned recently about pain. Anywhere you

701
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,760
Speaker 1: feel pain, it's because there's lack of oxygen in there.

702
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: So like if somebody kicks you or knees you and

703
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: Charlie Horse, you know, that cuts the oxygen flow into

704
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 1: that muscle, and that's where the pain comes from. Is

705
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: the lack of oxygen happens with low back issues as well,

706
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: or back issues where it's just you're not moving, you're

707
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: not using it, so it's going to lack the oxygen,

708
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: it's going to start creating pain. So the second part

709
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 1: of the protocol is pretty awesome because it's just you're

710
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 1: getting either on a bicycle or you get it on

711
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 1: a stair step or whatever you can do to get

712
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: your heart rate up and down for about ten fifteen

713
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: minutes and you break a little sweat. But again, it

714
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be an all out, high intense interval

715
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 1: session because you're getting pure ninety eight percent oxygen into

716
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 1: your lungs. Then after that you sit in red light

717
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 1: therapy and then that's where the magic happens because your

718
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,240
Speaker 1: body's open, your cells are open, and everything comes together.

719
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: To me, it's the equivalent of running barefoot on a

720
00:40:55,760 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: grassy area doing intervals up and down the hill, absorbed

721
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: the sun for maybe you know, fifteen to thirty minutes.

722
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: You know, just it's a quick session barefoot. But you know,

723
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: we live in an age where everybody has to wear shoes.

724
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: You know, Nike sells your shoes because they make you

725
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: believe that you need shoes. But I remember when I

726
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: was literal, I'd run around with no shoes all the time,

727
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 1: no shirt, and you know, play in the dirt and

728
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: grass and roll around and I just felt the best

729
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 1: I had, you know, unlimited amounts of energy. So I

730
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 1: do believe in that combination, getting you know, connected with

731
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: the earth, getting you know, that vibration from the earth,

732
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: the electrical charge, getting fresh as fresh oxygen. And where's

733
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 1: the best place to get as fresh oxygen without having

734
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 1: to pay for it in the woods next to all

735
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: the trees, right. And then of course the red light

736
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: therapy is the safe therapy of sunlight. You know, there

737
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 1: are some bad rays that you do get from the

738
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: sun if you stay out there too long. But the sun,

739
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 1: I believe, is essential and it gives you energy and

740
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: it makes you feel good mentally and physically. Right, it's

741
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: just not a physical thing. It's not just about vitamin D.

742
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 1: You do feel good when you're out in the sun.

743
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:28,840
Speaker 2: For me nowadays, speaking of energy, like for me, I

744
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 2: noticed too that well, first of all, I love to

745
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 2: cold plunge like that's been a game changer for me. Yeah,

746
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 2: especially as I was doing these hit workouts and just

747
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 2: getting older. It's just what it did to my joints.

748
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 2: It took all my pain away like that and a

749
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 2: huge change, and then you burn a ton of calories

750
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 2: doing it. It's quick, but more importantly for me, it

751
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:53,240
Speaker 2: was like the joint pain went away I do the sauna.

752
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 2: I love to meditate. The meditation for me has helped

753
00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 2: me with focus just you know, nowadays is where you

754
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 2: can easily get distracted so well, so easily, right that,

755
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 2: Like I think like attention is like the new currency.

756
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 2: Like if you can master attention, you're going to do

757
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 2: pretty well for yourself. Because what I found is one

758
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 2: of the best ways to show people that you care

759
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 2: about them is by paying attention to them, right, because

760
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 2: now you show them that they're important to you. But

761
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,319
Speaker 2: if you're constantly and what meditation does really when you

762
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 2: do it is you just realize that your mind started

763
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 2: to wonder, wander and bring it back to meditating, right,

764
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 2: Like that's the whole point of it, is just become

765
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 2: aware of when your mind loses focus and then bring

766
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 2: it back to your breathing. So that for me has

767
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 2: helped me a ton. And I try to do it

768
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 2: while I'm in the sauna at one hundred and seventy

769
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 2: degrees because my body's kind of under you know, the rest,

770
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 2: and like I'm I'm having a hard time breathing, yet

771
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 2: I got to focus on the breathing and so I

772
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 2: like doing it. I like doing it while I'm there.

773
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 2: And then the other thing for me about just I

774
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 2: don't know for you, but like for me, being productive

775
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 2: gives me energy. Like I realized, when I'm not productive

776
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 2: is when I'm depleted of all energy. Right, Like I

777
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 2: could work a sixteen hour day and as long as

778
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 2: I feel productive, I can come home and I have

779
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 2: endless energy. But there's times where I'll work a sixteen

780
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 2: hour day and I'm depleted the ball energy because I

781
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 2: didn't get anything done.

782
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: You got when done day the entire.

783
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 2: Or you didn't get anything done and you just put

784
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 2: this whole day of work, right, So like you know,

785
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 2: for me, I love saying that, you know, execute being

786
00:44:54,600 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 2: overwhelmed by overwhelming execution, right, you know, I think for me,

787
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 2: like in my experience, I'm just talking for me, the

788
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 2: cured of my anxiety is action. When I'm productive, like

789
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 2: my anxiety goes away. You know. It's like if you

790
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:19,720
Speaker 2: spend your time and energy being productive, you'll have less

791
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 2: time and energy or anxiety. Like, spend your time kicking

792
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 2: ass instead of worrying about how much ass you have

793
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,839
Speaker 2: to kick, right, And you know that's that's the thing

794
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 2: with me with like with the mental health stuff, for me, Like,

795
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,320
Speaker 2: I just I like to be productive, and I notice

796
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 2: when I'm not productive, that's when my mind starts going

797
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 2: a little craikray, right, and so like you know, I

798
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 2: call it a the high frequency. When I'm in a

799
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 2: high frequency is when I have clarity and I don't

800
00:45:56,560 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 2: have much thought, right, Like you're not thinking right. When

801
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 2: you're in a low frequency is when you have a

802
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:06,800
Speaker 2: lot of clutter in your head and you're just thinking

803
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 2: about all kinds of crazy stuff. Like think about when

804
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 2: you're overthinking stuff, it's always bad stuff, Like when have

805
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 2: we overthought great stuff? Like you're not going to sit

806
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,839
Speaker 2: around for two hours just thinking about how great your

807
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 2: life is. Right, Yet when it's bad, things like you're

808
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 2: overthinking the crap out of it and the whole yeah,

809
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 2: the whole day. You're just obsessed with all the shit

810
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 2: that could go wrong. And that's why, like you know,

811
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 2: as far as like my mental health and stuff, I'm like, Okay,

812
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 2: you could either choose faith or you can choose fear. Right,

813
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 2: they're both the same thing, right, one is the projection.

814
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 2: One is the projection of the most positive thing for

815
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,800
Speaker 2: the future, and the other one is the projection of

816
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 2: the worst possible thing the future. So whether you like

817
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 2: it or not, you're you're faith based. So like ninety

818
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:11,880
Speaker 2: of winning is just remaining positive, positive, right, And I

819
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 2: think for me, that's why gratitude is so important for

820
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 2: mental health. And I think you know, forgiveness and gratitude

821
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:32,879
Speaker 2: are inseparable, and bitterness and ungratefulness are also inseparable, right,

822
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 2: And I think that's the beauty of gratitude is that

823
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 2: you know, when you forgive, you're going to be grateful,

824
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:43,319
Speaker 2: and then when you're grateful, it unlocks love and it

825
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 2: unleashes love, right.

826
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: And that is totally beneficial as well. To forgive yourself,

827
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: you know, because we sometimes are the worst critic and

828
00:47:55,680 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 1: the hardest on ourselves, especially for highly high achievers. If

829
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:04,319
Speaker 1: we don't forgive ourselves for making a mistake or not

830
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: accomplishing something, that just stacks on top of the anxiety.

831
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: And yes, that's where you know, self wellness is really important.

832
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 1: I've had many clients that feel guilty that they're taking

833
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 1: care of their health, you know, like.

834
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 2: The number one thing they should invest in. Yeah, because

835
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 2: if you feel good about yourself, that's what you're going

836
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 2: to transfer to other people. But if you like if

837
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 2: you feel like shit, then that's what you're going to

838
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 2: transfer to other people, because you can't transfer something you're

839
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 2: not experiencing.

840
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 1: Right, I always used to tell them. I use the

841
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 1: example of flying. You know, when you fly, I don't know.

842
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,320
Speaker 1: They never change the story when if there's an issue

843
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 1: and those gas you know, masks come down, put yours

844
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 1: on first before you help anybody else. Right, is that

845
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 1: selfish or is that smart? That's smart because now you're functional,

846
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,720
Speaker 1: Now you're getting the oxygen, and now you can help people,

847
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: So it's not selfish.

848
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 2: It's such a good point, Eddie that you bring up,

849
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:09,360
Speaker 2: because you know, I lost a I was bitter about

850
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 2: losing a ton of money, and when you're bitter, I

851
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:18,880
Speaker 2: found myself ungrateful. And it wasn't until I forgave myself

852
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 2: for losing that amount of money that I started to

853
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 2: be grateful again.

854
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:24,399
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.

855
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 2: Right. And that's why I say, for you know, forgiveness

856
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 2: and gratitude are inseparable, but so is bitterness and ungratefulness.

857
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 2: And and to your point, like when you forgive yourself,

858
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 2: all of a sudden you have gratitude, you know, And

859
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 2: and the funny part about bitterness too, it's bitterness. You know,

860
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 2: your the past for some reason is always gives you bitter,

861
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:56,399
Speaker 2: like when you're constantly in the past, it's like you're

862
00:49:56,400 --> 00:50:03,280
Speaker 2: gonna find yourself kind of bitter, right, And.

863
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 1: It's not productive. It really is that, it's not productive

864
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 1: at all. It's kind of like jealousy. Jealousy is a

865
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:11,319
Speaker 1: little productive because women want you to be jealous because

866
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 1: they feel loved, right, But to me, jealousy has always

867
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 1: been a negative emotion and I've always avoided it. And

868
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 1: I've come across situations where women used to think, well,

869
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 1: you obviously don't love me because you're not jealous, and

870
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 1: I used to explain to them, it's not that it's

871
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: not that I'm not jealous. I'm just not going to

872
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: fall for that emotion because it's not productive.

873
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 2: No, yeah, that's so good. You could probably talk for

874
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 2: another hour on health, but yeah, yeah for sure. But yeah,

875
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 2: so good.

876
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:46,520
