1 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: Misspelling with Tori Spelling and iHeartRadio Podcast. Hey guys, welcome 2 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: back to Misspelling. This is part two of our conversation 3 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:20,239 Speaker 1: with doctor Jesse Mills. 4 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 2: So let's talk about GLP ones. 5 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: And what your thoughts are and is there really a 6 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 1: correlation when it comes to GLP ones and possibly helping 7 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: slow down the process when it comes to Alzheimer's. 8 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 2: Is there correlation? 9 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, so that is. You know, it's funny. I 10 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 3: don't want to come off sounding like I'm profarma anti supplement, 11 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 3: but I am kind of pro farm on anti supplum 12 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 3: because there's so much better data and glps I think, 13 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 3: in some ways might be one of these new miracle 14 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 3: drugs when prescribed and taken by the right people. And 15 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 3: it's right. I mean, the things that we've seen outside 16 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 3: of the weight loss is there may be a decrease 17 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 3: in cognitive decline. Is sugar metabolism is you know, people 18 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 3: that have high sugar diets bad for cardiovascular health, really 19 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 3: bad for cognitive health, and so blunting that effect through 20 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 3: even the old fashioned weight loss and anti sugar drugs 21 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 3: like met forman, which has been around forever. There's some 22 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 3: study met format is an old diabetic drug that's also 23 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 3: big kind of in this anti aging world that it 24 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 3: inhibits your bodies. I mean, it improves your body's ability 25 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 3: to process the insulin that you take in. So it's 26 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 3: what we call it an anti hypoglycemic. There is a hypoglycemic. 27 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 3: It just make sure that keeps your blood sugar is low. 28 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 3: That is good for cancer control, potentially good also for 29 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,479 Speaker 3: long term cognitive client. So the golp is, I think 30 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 3: in general, what it does is it induces something called 31 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 3: a caloric restricted state or the CR state. And so 32 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 3: however you do it. The other thing is instead of 33 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 3: taking golp is, if you can put guys on a 34 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 3: restricted calorie diet or anybody, that also seems to slow 35 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 3: the aging process. So golps are a lot easier for 36 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 3: guys to tolerate, you know, taking an injection rather than 37 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 3: going on a seven hundred calorie a day diet. But 38 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of really fascinating evidence that's 39 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 3: going to come out in that sphere that it's not 40 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 3: just about the weight loss. It also it may be 41 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 3: helpful for addiction. You know a lot of people, that's 42 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 3: what I think. I mean, I think Oprah just said 43 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 3: that not she was public about the fact that that well, no, no, 44 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm going to open it up. Actually an 45 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 3: alcohol addiction too. So Oprah came out a few days 46 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 3: ago and said, you know, her taste for alcohol went 47 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 3: dramatically down. And and so I think there is something 48 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 3: about no, you're right, You're right. So I think anybody 49 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 3: that just has any any addict is is often able 50 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 3: to overcome whatever breaks you put in the way. But 51 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 3: I think the normal people that that just you know, 52 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 3: indulged too much, there is that that checkpoint of where 53 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 3: the gops work. So so I don't know. I'm still 54 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 3: torn because I think, as a doctor that has just 55 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 3: spent all this time talking to you about the fundamentals 56 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 3: of eat, move, and sleep, and now there's this magical shortcut, 57 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 3: I'm still struggling. 58 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 2: It is stuff. 59 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 3: That's the thing we don't know, I mean, but but 60 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 3: it certainly seems like if you look at a lot 61 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 3: of the research coming out, there's there's gonna be a 62 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 3: lot of avenues that this may open up for people. 63 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 3: Because you're right, their food is certainly an addiction. Sugar 64 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 3: is an addiction. 65 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 2: There's no doubt, definitely I'm addicted to sugar. 66 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 3: Right, there's no doubt because it's the fastest way to 67 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 3: trigger a dopamine release. It's faster than cocaine, right, And 68 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 3: so it all works in this dopamine mechanism. So if 69 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 3: you can blunt whatever your trigger is for that addiction 70 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 3: by something else, then you're probably going to help improve 71 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 3: your addictive personality. But right first, I mean, whatever extreme 72 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 3: case you want to put in front of me about 73 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 3: an addiction, Yeah, gops are not going to cure that, 74 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 3: for sure. 75 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: No. I mean I do believe in it, you know, 76 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: being an addict myself, I do believe it. 77 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 2: It's a disease that you're born with. 78 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, and for sure, that is just my belief. 79 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people disagree, we'll disagree with this, 80 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: and that's totally fine. I also don't believe it's hereditary, 81 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: even though there is, Like my father was an addict. 82 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 2: Hees passed now. But you know, there's also a lot 83 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 2: of people I know. 84 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: Who have never dealt with in their family history, dealt 85 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: with addiction and their addicts themselves, you know. So there's 86 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,239 Speaker 1: that whole debate which we don't have to get into. 87 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 1: But well, who so you don't you actually agree, do 88 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: you agree with anybody taking GLP ones, Like, what is 89 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: your take. 90 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 3: On Yes, well, you know, at least in my practice 91 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 3: at UCLA, we are looking at really strictly for people 92 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 3: that are severely overweight, you know. But again, I mean 93 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 3: my practice is very hormone optimization, surgical management of mail 94 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 3: with fertility issues, you know, sperm optimization. But a lot 95 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 3: of those things can be improved with the correct prescription 96 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 3: of those medications. And so the ideal patient for me 97 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 3: is somebody that is committed to a lifestyle change, because 98 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 3: it's not going to work if you just do just 99 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,239 Speaker 3: take a pill because now their pill form or an injection, 100 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 3: but if you're not putting in that work to physically 101 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 3: reduce your portray control. And the other problem with these 102 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 3: drugs that they found is that they don't they almost 103 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 3: preferentially take you away from wanting to eat protein and 104 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 3: healthy fasts. Muscle mass and the muscle mass you got it, 105 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 3: So you lose that muscle mass, and I think that's 106 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 3: going to be the biggest limitation is that, yes, you're 107 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 3: going to look great on the scale, but if we're 108 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 3: decreasing muscle mass and bone density and not counteracting that 109 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 3: with something better nutrition, exercise, potential hormone optimization. Then you 110 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 3: may not be looking at a longevity drug at all. 111 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 3: You may be just looking at a skinny drug. And 112 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 3: there are plenty of skinny drugs we've had, and that's 113 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 3: short term obviously. 114 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 2: It just contradicts itself. 115 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 3: That's right. Yeah, So you have to change your lifestyle 116 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 3: and you have to change how you eat, there's no doubt. 117 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 3: So if you go on those drugs and then you're 118 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 3: just drinking smoothies all day long and getting your all 119 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 3: of your calories through sugar, you think you're being healthy. Right. 120 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 3: Smoothies are one of those there's drugs or there's things 121 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 3: that are like seems healthy, yeah, or sugar yogurt or 122 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 3: my favorite, my favorite is kombucha. I mean, but what 123 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 3: a great probatic. It's been around forever. But if you 124 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 3: look at most of this komba and our shells and 125 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 3: are it's got more sugar than a coke. Right, So 126 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 3: you're gonna you can't even go near Yeah, So just 127 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 3: take us take like a bite of sour crout and 128 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 3: drink a coke. You don't have the same health benefits. 129 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 3: Of cher that you get back in the. 130 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: Day is like coke and diet coke like us die 131 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: Coke's like I mean, I still drink dike wasn't a 132 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: while once in a while. 133 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 3: Well I'm not here to judge. 134 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 2: You come on now better than Badkaesa there? 135 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 3: Do you go much better? Alcohol tends to be not 136 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 3: so good for us. That's the that's the truth. 137 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 1: Curiosity about NAD plus or n A D plus or 138 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:48,679 Speaker 1: is plus or plus? 139 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just it's a charged ion, right, So it's 140 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 3: just but you can say an n A D is fine? 141 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 2: So is does that help build muscle? 142 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 3: Or it may help a little bit with re cravery, 143 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 3: but it just it really the best way to look 144 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 3: at is it it slows cellular aging by increasing the 145 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 3: the energy center of the cell, right, and so yeah, 146 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 3: that's it. 147 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: How much how much would you have to take in 148 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: order for that to actually be effected? 149 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the problem with dosing of these things 150 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 3: is there because it's not a pharmaceutical. The dosing really 151 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 3: depends on the formula. So if you're into it, as 152 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 3: I said, go to you know somebody. It's a really 153 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 3: good longevity specialist. It's able to offer you something other 154 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 3: than oral or the drops, but something actually that that 155 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 3: that meets you know, pharmaceutical grade injectables and then follow whatever. 156 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 3: But it's expensive, and again I think for most people, 157 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 3: it's not that much of a boost. 158 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 2: So you're not going to get it through your facial cream. 159 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 3: No, that's oh yeah, good, that's right. It's not going 160 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 3: to get into your facial cream. Yeah, the absorption rate. 161 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 3: Oh you what we should put there's our product, right, 162 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 3: I just I just killed our sales. 163 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 2: But you see that everywhere. Literally I just got this 164 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 2: like facial cerrum. It has an ad in it. Oh 165 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 2: oh god. Okay, but is. 166 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 3: That really plenty of things that you could do for you? Yeah, 167 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 3: the plenty of things you could do your phase of 168 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 3: the good dermatologists. That's way better track record. 169 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 2: Let's talk about testosterone. 170 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's what I do. 171 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 2: How does that change with age? 172 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: Is there a common like is it different for every 173 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: person every male of the male species? 174 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 3: That's right, it is, Joe, Yeah, the uh yeah, there's 175 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 3: a there's a We kind of alluded to it a 176 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 3: little bit earlier, but there's a range of testosterone that 177 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 3: that our clinical guidelines, both the American Neurologic Association of 178 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 3: the Endocrine Guidelines that people that really do the majority 179 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 3: of testostrophe prescribing, and that is the low end is 180 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 3: three hundred nanograms for dest leader. I won't test you 181 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 3: on the units later, but three hundred and then a 182 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 3: thousand to maybe eleven hundred at the top end of 183 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 3: some lab. So there's just giant bookends of what's normal. 184 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 3: I've never really seen any pathway. Well that's not true. 185 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 3: There's very few cases of people that are pathologically above 186 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 3: that level naturally, so we'really clanking at yeah, well nothing. 187 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 3: That's the thing is that there is I see. I 188 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 3: love that you're bringing this up. Another myth. You can't 189 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 3: be the whole without putting it in six hours a 190 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 3: day in the gym. I could. I could load you 191 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 3: full of testoster and if you're not putting in the work, 192 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 3: those muscles ain't gonna get big in green, right, They're 193 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 3: not gonna get big and green. So so yeah, the 194 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 3: so the testostero does decline decade over decade. It's one 195 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 3: of the early signs of aging. You know, men and women, 196 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 3: we actually start aging when we're about twenty five or 197 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 3: twenty six. The neurologic truth is that at somewhere around 198 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 3: age twenty five to twenty eight is when we start 199 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:47,439 Speaker 3: actually dropping off neurons and having our our decision making 200 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 3: our prefrontal cortex, which is where we decide stupid things 201 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 3: like you know, jumping off a cliff to drive, you know, 202 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 3: to go into a quarry, or driving without a seat 203 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 3: belt or. 204 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 2: Sit lots of other stupid things. 205 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 3: There are lots of other stupid things exactly all of 206 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 3: those things. Ten that those things tend to flare out 207 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 3: and we start to feely finally feel a little bit 208 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 3: of our mortality when we're in our late twenties early thirties. 209 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 3: But testosterone, yes, it's early. Then we think, yeah, and 210 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 3: so so testosterone is one of those early biomarkers. As 211 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 3: it declines, it is a showing of sort of your 212 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 3: overall health. And so one of the things we look 213 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 3: at is if a guy has normal testosterone in their 214 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 3: thirties and then by their forties it starts to decline. 215 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 3: Fifties it gets worse. There are reversible things we can do, 216 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 3: and in fact, the main part of our guidelines as 217 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 3: physicians is to find what the reversible cause is and 218 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 3: treat it. Whether it's nutrition, exercise, sleep, all of those 219 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 3: things have impacts on testosterone, but in general testosterone it 220 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 3: does decline when we age a. 221 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: Few questions that I know some our guests are going 222 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: to want to want to know about what are the 223 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: most common mistakes you think people make in their wellness 224 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:54,359 Speaker 1: wellness routines. 225 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 3: They worry too much, they worry about wellness. I mean, 226 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 3: I think that's it. The second thing is that they're 227 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 3: doing something that is not authentic to them, and so 228 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 3: I think, you know, for example, let's just you know, 229 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 3: I was kind of kidding a little bit earlier about 230 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 3: lemon water. If you get up and you drink lemon 231 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,959 Speaker 3: water before you have your coffee, and you have to 232 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 3: wait till eleven am to have your coffee because there's 233 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 3: some science study that says it great. You know, I 234 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 3: get up at five in the morning. I often have 235 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 3: to go to the hospital and make grounds on patients. 236 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 3: I am not waiting till eleven o'clock in the morning 237 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 3: to have my coffee. I'm getting up And in fact, 238 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 3: part of my wellness journey is it every morning I 239 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 3: get up and I make coffee for me and my wife. 240 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 3: I feed my dogs, I breathe, I think about the day. 241 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 3: That's wellness for me. But I'm drinking coffee, which you 242 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,439 Speaker 3: know is still mildly controversial. 243 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 2: But it's authentic. 244 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 3: It's authentic to me because to me, that actually brings 245 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 3: me joy, it grounds me that I know. Every morning, 246 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 3: I get to get up and I have about six 247 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 3: minutes to take a cup of coffee so I can 248 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 3: feed the dogs, I can let them out, I can 249 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 3: feed my cat, who seems to be always hungry all 250 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 3: the time, and then at the end of those six minutes, 251 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 3: bring a steaming hot cup of coffee into my wife. 252 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,439 Speaker 3: We talk about our day, and then I get out 253 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 3: of there and go do my thing. Doesn't matter if 254 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 3: it's six in the morning or seven in the morning. 255 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 3: That's how we do it. So I think, if you're 256 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 3: not authentic to yourself, then no wellness journey is gonna 257 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 3: make it. So don't do it just because you clicked 258 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 3: on it. 259 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 2: A few more questions, do you have time? 260 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 3: Of course? 261 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: Okay, what's the one food I guess people think is 262 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 1: maybe healthy but not other than power bars? 263 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 2: But then are not healthy? 264 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well I think it's any h I mean yogurt, 265 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 3: that's my that's my go to, my favorite. Yes, So 266 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 3: I mean if you're gonna eat yogurt or you're without sugar, yeah, 267 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 3: but even Greek, you don't look and just look for Greek, 268 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 3: look at how much added sugar is in it, right, 269 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 3: because it's so crazy, Like I love yogurt is a 270 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 3: great source of protein, the probiotic part of it. So 271 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 3: I mean my go to is yogurt with some fresh 272 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 3: not frozen yogurt. I don't understand. Okay, now you got me. 273 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 3: I frozen I have an issue with that. Right, If 274 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:02,359 Speaker 3: you're gonna eat ice cream, eat ice cream, it's delicious, exactly, 275 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 3: Why eat frozen yogurt? Just work a little harder, run 276 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 3: a little farther, and enjoy your damn ice cream. Nake 277 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 3: it with milk and just do that. But but you're right, 278 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 3: yogurt and anything that adds sugar and says it's healthy 279 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 3: is not healthy. They're lying to you. Interesting, they're lying 280 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 3: to you. So right, nothing in America, whatever, if there's 281 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 3: any any health food, if there's added sugar, it's it's 282 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 3: it's it's a scam, and it's a terrible idea. 283 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,079 Speaker 2: So like Stevia, Okay, yeah, so. 284 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 3: Right, So natural sweeteners okay, fine, you know and you 285 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 3: even mentioned natural TV is natural. Yeah, there are there 286 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 3: are oh yeah, sweet and low well saccarin yeah those 287 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 3: but again okay, but they got it that from a 288 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 3: scientific standpoint. You know, if you were rat eating saccarin, 289 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 3: you know tab remember tab cola, like that was like 290 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 3: the seventies eighties. Okay, well I'm enough older than you, 291 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 3: but there you go. Tab was like the seventies and 292 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 3: eighties dyeing coke, right, that was like but it was 293 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 3: all sacer basically, Oh my god. You know there's a 294 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 3: rat that dropped dead after having seventeen thousand cans of dia. 295 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 2: It's a rat. 296 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a rat. So the lethal dose of idiot 297 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 3: these artific sweeteners is so high. But again the problem 298 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 3: is is that why are you doing that? Right? So, 299 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 3: why why do you have to do. 300 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 2: Things than sugar better? 301 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know, look for your diet, look for 302 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 3: the nutrition that is as close to whole and unprocessed 303 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 3: as possible. But then allow yourself a treat. So allow 304 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 3: yourself with scoop ice cream every once like ones, once 305 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 3: a day? What time is it? That's right? Exactly right, yeah, yeah, 306 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 3: I got ten more minutes until I get my next 307 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 3: ice cream figs. Yeah. So yeah, I think that's it, 308 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 3: is that any health food that adds sugar is not 309 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 3: your friend. That's the take home message. 310 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 2: Microwaves fine, fine, really, yeah, I don't cook. I mean 311 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 2: I don't cook. I just choose not to. 312 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: So fair enough frozen remember those old like to myself, 313 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: Jenny Craig. 314 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 2: Remember those of course? Yeah, now those are not as 315 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 2: good they were process. 316 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 3: But again all of this is just processed foods that 317 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 3: it has a limited calorie portion. Jenny Craig was, I mean, 318 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 3: what are great business model is that they're going to 319 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 3: give you as little food as possible and tell you 320 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 3: as healthy for you. So that right, you can go, 321 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 3: you can go and get a hungry man dinner and 322 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 3: eat one of those or three of those and you know, 323 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 3: in three days successively or one Jenny Gregg, So yeah, 324 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 3: just eat a third of a honey hungry man and 325 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 3: it's the same as eating a Jeddie Craig. Right, So yeah, 326 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 3: not healthy. But the microwave itself, I think you know, 327 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 3: all it is is just agitating water molecules. Really have 328 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 3: been so many good studies that it has really no 329 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 3: major health. 330 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: Benefits, but doesn't have a microwave in our house because 331 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: they think that causes cancer. 332 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 3: Sure, that's true, it's not true. It's not true. But again, 333 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 3: I'm not going to if your sister is able to 334 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 3: if they don't have a micro. 335 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 2: I'm going to tell her it's not true. 336 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 3: If they don't have a microwave, that means that they're 337 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 3: probably doing a lot more whole cooking. And for that 338 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 3: I give her. 339 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 2: It's inconvenient. 340 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 3: I'm not saying it isn't. I have a microwave. I 341 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 3: can microwave my whole foods in a microwave. But I'm 342 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 3: saying for anybody that doesn't happen. If you're committed to 343 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 3: it and you have the time, God bless you for that, 344 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 3: but you know, don't give twelve hours to fifteen hours 345 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 3: a day. It's hard to not use some of these 346 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 3: conveniences that have pretty good data that they ain't going 347 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 3: to kill you. 348 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: Let's talk about regular screenings, because for women, at least, 349 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: I know it's changed recently, like from getting your PAP smear. 350 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: Let's say, you know, once every two years it was, 351 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: or now it's once a year, like why that's scary 352 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: for people like us to be like, why all of 353 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: a sudden do we need it yearly? But for men 354 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: obviously that's what you specialize in. 355 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 3: So right, well, but no, I mean pastmer is an 356 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 3: interesting example because you know that test has been around 357 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 3: since the nineteen twenties. Yeah, and and now now that 358 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 3: we have a pretty widely accepted vaccine against the HPV 359 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 3: that causes both cervical and penile cancer, you know, that's 360 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 3: a whole other thing. And cancer of the throat, most 361 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 3: throat cancers are caused by it. So right, so you 362 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 3: can the virus for HPV can live in your throat 363 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 3: and your larynx, and so if you've been exposed HPV 364 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 3: through some kind of oral sexual content, then you can 365 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 3: get cancer up here as well as in the penis, 366 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 3: although it's much rare because if you are if you 367 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 3: circumcise your kid, your boy is a neonate, then the 368 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 3: chance of developing peno cancer is almost zero. But in 369 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 3: countries where we don't perform routine circumcisions, peno cancer rats 370 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 3: is up there. In some countries it's it's really high. 371 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,719 Speaker 3: And so it's all because of the HPV. So if 372 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 3: we if we have a vaccine against that cervical cancer 373 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,679 Speaker 3: way more silent killer, because if a guy has a 374 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 3: genital worth that they see then it obviously can be 375 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 3: treated much faster than if there's something in the cervix. 376 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 3: So pasterers are critical part of screening. It also is 377 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 3: the why in general women do a better job of 378 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 3: going to the doctor because they have a screening test 379 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 3: that starts when they're in their adolescence. And for guys, 380 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 3: our first major screening for cancer related illness is at 381 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 3: forty five, with colon oscar also forty five, because there's 382 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,120 Speaker 3: no other blood test, there's no other thing that we 383 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 3: have to worry about. We worry about, but that is 384 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 3: on a population basis that we would provide screening for 385 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 3: until we hit our colon cancer and then prostate cancer 386 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 3: we start screening for in our late forties early fifties 387 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 3: as well, unless we have a family history. Well, it 388 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 3: depends on the cancer. I mean, one of the things 389 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 3: that I'm really interested in, and I had again, I 390 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 3: had a podcast on with a guy named Josh Hoffman, 391 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 3: who is the CMO of a company that offers multiple 392 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 3: cancer screening devices in one test. In other words, you 393 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 3: get a blood test, and he screens for dozens of cancers, 394 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 3: because we do know that that cancer sheds molecules into 395 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 3: the bloodstream a long time before it becomes evident, and 396 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,880 Speaker 3: so I'm very interested in that. From a population basis, 397 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 3: it might be a little expensive now to start screening 398 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 3: everybody in their early thirties, but for the individual that says, 399 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 3: look I got five hundred bucks, nine hundred bucks lying around, 400 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 3: and maybe that's the advanced cancer screening that you can do. 401 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:19,679 Speaker 3: But the fundamentals, yeah, cervical cancer screening still critical. Amazing 402 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 3: public health initiative, amazing public health win to have vaccines 403 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 3: against HPV that can start so that boys and girls 404 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 3: when they become sexually active are far more protected against 405 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 3: developing throat, penile and cervical cancer. 406 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 2: So it's not just nail men, but the throat is 407 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 2: also both. 408 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 3: Sure, yes, anybody that has any sort of potential oral context. 409 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 3: That's much more common in men, but still still possible. 410 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 3: So yeah, get get screened, and get and certainly get vaccinated. 411 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 2: Yearly, yearly. 412 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, the screening yearly, Yeah, that's right. Yeah, and breast 413 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 3: cancer screening while you're on it. Even though sentimentalist. 414 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 2: Breast cancer, we do, but not enough. 415 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 3: We absolutely, But but those guys, we don't screen for 416 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 3: it because usually it'll because you know, we mostly have 417 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 3: less breast tissue than women, it's obviously, you know, a 418 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 3: lot easier to find. So if a guy feels a 419 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 3: lump or a bump in the breast tissue, or if 420 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 3: they have discharge for the nipple, then you go in 421 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,640 Speaker 3: and you get screened and treated. But yeah, for women, 422 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 3: mimography is still recommended population wise. They say it's very expensive, 423 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 3: and they kind of change the recommendations what we call 424 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 3: the US Presentative Task Force years ago. But I think 425 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 3: that's such a effort, yeah, and such a great lobbying 426 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,679 Speaker 3: effort from women's health specialists to say, no, this is 427 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 3: incredible important and the last thing you want to see, 428 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 3: you know, is a young woman that gets breast cancer 429 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 3: because they weren't appropriately screened. And so, for sure, screening 430 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 3: saves lives. It's it's a pillar of longevity. You can 431 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 3: take all the na D you want, but if you're 432 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 3: not getting your annual screening, it ain't going to help you. 433 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 2: See. This is what I also have always believed. 434 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 1: Is like what you kind of touched on before is like, 435 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: when we have physicals, we should have the option to 436 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 1: do it and right like to really get a full 437 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: body scan because like you said, we don't even there 438 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,199 Speaker 1: are no let's say lumps or whatever may happen, but 439 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: it could have already started developing five years ago. 440 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 3: Sure, and you have that option. The question is who's 441 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 3: going to pay for it? So do you have that? 442 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 2: We do have the option there is to go in 443 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 2: right now and say. 444 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 3: Right right down my office and not that I have 445 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 3: a paid consult I have no money or financial relationship, 446 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 3: but there's that Pernuvo is a company that offers full 447 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 3: body MRIs screening for maybe fifteen hundred to two thousand dollars, 448 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 3: gives you a lot of that information. It's controversial as 449 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 3: well because that's a really expensive test to offer from 450 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,919 Speaker 3: at your health right. So if you want to be 451 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,199 Speaker 3: super proactive and you're again at that level where you 452 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 3: can afford it, or you want to know, great. The 453 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 3: downside to that is I've seen guys that have come 454 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 3: to my office after they've had a Pernuvo with things 455 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,159 Speaker 3: that are not dangerous at all, but that they have 456 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 3: to you know, then I have to kind of work 457 00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 3: up I mean sometimes we pick up these little kidney 458 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 3: toos that are either benign or never gonna pass at 459 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 3: any problem. Now we're now we're obligated to Yeah, so 460 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 3: you have you know, do you want to know that information? 461 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 3: And some people just don't want to know you know something, 462 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 3: I know, they just you know, smoke. 463 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 2: I go back and forth. I don't want to know. 464 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: But then at the same time, it's like, if it 465 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: was preventative, you know, I do want to know. 466 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 3: I think if you have a family history of early cancers, 467 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 3: then it makes sense to screen with some of these 468 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 3: advanced molecular and imaging diagnostics. 469 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: I could talk to you literally all evening, but cool, 470 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: don't want to take all your time away from your 471 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: lovely wife. 472 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 2: I'm sure waiting for you to know. 473 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 3: But good. Yeah, so I think it is. You know, 474 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 3: just try to tune out the noise that's out there 475 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,640 Speaker 3: in the health world. Partner with a really good physician 476 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 3: that you trust. If you don't find somebody, keep looking 477 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 3: because you can't do it alone. What you read, I mean, 478 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 3: it's a well you didn't even get into AI. But 479 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 3: but you know, well, when I see guys come in, 480 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 3: it's amazing. The medical information that they get where it's 481 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 3: reasonable chat GPT. I mean it's a crazy thing, but 482 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 3: I actually get referrals. I said, oh, had you find 483 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 3: me thinking, oh here, I'm all this reputable you know, 484 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 3: doctor and you know somebody referrings like, oh, I just 485 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 3: put it in chat GPT, find a urologist near me 486 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 3: and you came up, so thank you chat GPT. But 487 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 3: but they come in with a reasonably good plan, but 488 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 3: it's not one hundred percent, and so you need an interpreter. 489 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 3: You know, when I do any kind of personal finance 490 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 3: stuff and I'm trying to figure out something to invest in, 491 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 3: first place they go is chat GPT to explain it. 492 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 3: So then I reach out to somebody that actually does 493 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 3: this for a living. But also I could sound you know, 494 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 3: so I can understand the different acronyms. This same thing 495 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 3: with medicine. Partner with somebody really good tune out body 496 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 3: not aid, that's right, somebody that can interpret you know, 497 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 3: your AI feed.

I mean so this you know, 516 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 3: the director founder of the Men's Clinic at UCLA Health. 517 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 3: So my main practice, which is right here in Santa Monica, 518 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 3: right between the two UCLA campuses in Westwood in Santa Monica. 519 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 3: This is what we do. We see about twenty thousand 520 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 3: guys a year to optimize formale management, improve their fertility, 521 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 3: improve their exercise.

And so yes, so 528 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 3: absolutely we try to increase our access to take care 529 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,199 Speaker 3: of the good people in the state of California as 530 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 3: well as the rest of the country and world. 531 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 2: Wow. 532 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: And so tell me something more about your podcast, like 533 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 1: what has been what has been something I guess that 534 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: you've learned most while having a podcast, And what is 535 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: something that's a takeaway? 536 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you can give us well, if I 537 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 3: can swear for a second, it's a it's a shit 538 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 3: ton of fun. Like yeah, so much. I'm not having 539 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 3: so much fun with you right now. And I think 540 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 3: I think it's because you get to have these conversations 541 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 3: with Most of the people I have on are either 542 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 3: people that have been through a journey so they're patients, 543 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 3: some of them are prominent people that are willing to 544 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 3: share their story and and they're experts in the field 545 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 3: of whatever we're doing. So I've had a sleep medicine guy, 546 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 3: I've had a therapist, I've had a sex therapist Natalie 547 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 3: finding a gold where she was fantastic, so we can 548 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 3: unpack a lot of the traumas that you were talking 549 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 3: about earlier. That how it relates to our sexual function on. 550 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 3: Our relationships are intimate relationships with people, and so I'm 551 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 3: constantly learning and constantly teaching, and I don't really know, 552 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 3: you know what's going to whether it's going to be 553 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,679 Speaker 3: a learning podcast or a teaching podcast or both. But 554 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,439 Speaker 3: the take home messages it's always about having a good time, 555 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 3: trying to figure out how to be better with what 556 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 3: we're doing. How do we be more intentional in our health, 557 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,679 Speaker 3: how do we more intentional our relationships? And as you 558 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 3: said earlier, how do we be as men especially vulnerable. 559 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 3: So you have to open yourself up to feel that 560 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 3: energy or that vibe. I mean, I love the fact 561 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 3: you have an energy coach. If somebody is teaching how 562 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 3: to harness. 563 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 2: Sounds, I promise I'm not. 564 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 3: I don't know. Hey there ain't you know if it works, 565 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 3: it ain't. And I think that's the most important thing 566 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 3: is that it is. That's the other thing I learned 567 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 3: is that I bring on people that may have different 568 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 3: opinions about how we practice medicine. I had doctor Gerald 569 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 3: Joffrey fantastic, you know, kind of the celebrity nutrition is 570 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 3: chiropractice with Kelly and Mark, and he was amazing because 571 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 3: we have totally different training. I'm a urologist and board 572 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 3: certified surgeon, and he comes from an incredibly rich background 573 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,199 Speaker 3: of taking care of people and applying the lens and 574 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 3: not only chiropractice but nutrition to optimize people's lives. And 575 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 3: so I think what I'm learning is it's in a 576 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 3: magical world out there where people are changing ideas in 577 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 3: a really fun way, and I hope bringing something to 578 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 3: listeners so that they can not only have fun. I say, 579 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 3: it's serious medicine, serious fun, but also what am I 580 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 3: going to do differently today that I learned on Mills's 581 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,199 Speaker 3: podcast that I didn't do the day before? You know, 582 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 3: whether it's I'm going to try to get six hours 583 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 3: instead of five hours of sleep. Maybe I'm going to 584 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 3: cut back on my alcohol. Maybe I'm going to read more. 585 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 3: Maybe I'm going to be more purposeful. Maybe I'm going 586 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 3: to make a friend. What if I just made a 587 00:27:59,240 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 3: friend today? 588 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: You know, I have to say I listened to a 589 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 1: couple of episodes I learned so much. And I mean, obviously, 590 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 1: you know it's catered to men, but I learned a lot, 591 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: and I think it's important that we also are open 592 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,880 Speaker 1: to listening to the other species. 593 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 3: I love that, of course. Yeah, and that's what it's 594 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,199 Speaker 3: all about, right, We're all humans, we're all trying to 595 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 3: figure out all our time in this big blue marble 596 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 3: from Mars. 597 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: Women are from Venus, though, and I believe that, so 598 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 1: we need to figure out Mars a little. 599 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 3: There you go. That's right, yes, and I'm sure my 600 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,439 Speaker 3: wife will agree, even after almost forty years, that I 601 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 3: need to figure out Venus as well. The beauty of it. Well, 602 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 3: we're doing all right, But thank you.
