Digital Social Hour - Avoid This $100K Mistake: The Truth About Biohacking | Sean Freitas DSH #662

Starting point is 00:00:00 How long did it take you to get this body, man? I got to know. It's just a work in progress. I just don't change my routine on a specific day because I've got a lot of stuff I need to do as an entrepreneur and I'm busy. So I think the biggest thing is the food. So like controlling the food and just the routine is the biggest thing. And I don't want to say, oh, I do something at four o'clock in the morning that I can never change. I'll do whatever I need to do for business and I'll try to make sure I get my routine in during the day as well. Guys, we got Sean Freitas here today. Thanks for coming on, man.

Starting point is 00:00:35 Thank you so much for having me, man. Hello, Sean. And it's your first show, right? It's my first show. Yes. Oh, I'm honored, dude. I love what you're up to. Thank you. Could you explain it for people watching? Yeah. So we're based out of Las Vegas, Nevada, and we're pretty much like a health and performance facility, but one of the first to kind of fully integrate everything. So having the performance gym with the biohacking with modern and regenerative medicine, and then we have physical therapy there as well. So the nice part is you come in and everything's kind of fully custom and tailored to you.

Starting point is 00:01:03 We run you through a bunch of tests, do all your blood work, take physical exams, do biomechanic exams on you. Then once we have all that data, we can make a proper program for you. If you're like General Pop or if you have something specific you want to work on, we have a bunch of professional athletes. We have a ton of entrepreneurs that come in and they're like, here's my card. I don't take care of myself at all. What can I do? 45 minutes every day is kind of the general thing I get. So we try to create like a program for them and that might mean installing some items in their house, saunas, hyperbaric chambers at home,

Starting point is 00:01:34 because they can, you know, drive to us all the time. So kind of, you know, tailoring every single protocol specific to the individual. So it took a lot longer to build the business that way because we're not for the masses, but we're for that person that really wants to take their, you know, control their healthspan and take the performance to the next level. Yeah. I noticed you were exclusive. You mentioned 300 member cap, right? Yes, that's correct. Yeah. I think we have about 150 now and that 300 just allows me to keep the facility completely private. We even control who comes in for tours and stuff too. Sometimes I get competitors that want to come in.

Starting point is 00:02:08 And at the end, I'm like, oh, yeah, we're going to open something. I'm like, damn. So now I'm much more loose with the information until I can verify who the person is. Because that's actually been happening a lot, which I guess is a blessing, right? Because a gym gets a cold tub and a sauna, and the thing you know they're they're a biohacking center you know yeah that's why i loved your gym though you had every single machine you could think of in there yeah you know it was meticulously thought out and we work with a lot of the companies on the research side that we have inside there from you know the the weight equipment uses pneumatic air pressure

Starting point is 00:02:41 friends you're not going to see that kaiser equipment in a lot of other gyms predominantly you'll see that sports performance gyms but um working with the manufacturing company um elevate they they make all the recovery equipment in my building they're amazing people they're on the nfl alumni association and nba alumni association we just had them here for the super bowl and we brought a bunch of athletes in. And it was nice to talk to athletes that are getting educated on taking care of their health first and at a younger age, like their first rookie year. And I want to keep providing that information to them, how important it is to put their health first before anything else. Yeah, and I witnessed firsthand in your facility someone previously had a stroke, and he was in there looking amazing doing sprints. Yeah, so six years ago, he couldn't even walk. And I believe he's 63 years old, and he was running around on the turf.

Starting point is 00:03:32 Crazy. And to me, that's very inspirational. Again, high-level entrepreneur, and from going out with dinners and drinking and drugs, and it led to having a stroke. So he couldn't enjoy his, his retirement at rehab. So we, I think we've been working with him for five years now, which has been pretty amazing to see someone like that, how excited he is to get his life back. Yeah. I love how analytical you treat the gym. Cause when you go to a normal gym, you, you, you know, what to work off based off looks, but not like internally. Correct. But you're measuring every single step of the process.

Starting point is 00:04:03 Yeah. And I think that that's what kind of set me apart. I've always been a big science guy with my background. I've got two master's degrees. I'm finishing up my PhD in human performance right now. Wow. And I knew that would set the facility apart because every single thing that we do is based off of scientific evidence and research. So if you come back to me and say, why are we doing this? Okay. It's for X, Y, and Z reason. It also allowed me to be able to work with a bunch of different medical professionals as well. And we have a mutual respect with one another because they understand what we're doing at a high level and we're able to report to them. It's not uncommon for someone to come in and they've got medical professionals that they work with, not just from the U.S., but from out of the country as well. And then we're able to provide feedback to them. And that's really how I built the, I would say,

Starting point is 00:04:49 eclectic type of clientele that we have is from, you know, just going slower, doing the right thing, never lying and extending myself for things I don't know. It's things that I don't know. As a B2B marketer, you know how noisy the ad space can be. If your message isn't targeted to the right audience, it just disappears into the noise.

Starting point is 00:06:20 I got to know. It's just a work in progress. You know, like I, it's funny. We're shooting a little day in the life life so i hit the cold tub in the sauna before coming here and i woke up early and did peloton it's my birthday today wow this is a nice birthday present i just don't change my routine on a specific day because i've got a lot of stuff i need to do as an entrepreneur and i'm busy so i think the biggest thing is the food is controlling the food, especially like

Starting point is 00:06:46 getting stressed out, high levels of caffeine. Right. And I'm guilty of those things for sure. So like controlling the food and just the routine is the biggest thing. And I don't want to say, oh, I do something at four o'clock in the morning that I can never change. I'll do whatever I need to do for, for business. And I'll try to make sure I get my routine in during the day as well. Cause that's important. I love that. Cause some people say take weekends off or whatever. Yeah. Or they have a six step process in the morning. I cold plunge, I make my bed, I write in the journal. I don't have time for that. You know, that's why I love Alex from Rosie. He's like, um, he's, he's worked out at my gym a couple of times and he's just like,

Starting point is 00:07:19 I fucking hate all these things when they're like, you got to do this routine as like, I completely understand that sometimes you just got to wake up in the morning and work, you don't brush your hair, nothing, you know, that all comes secondary. Yeah. I think you should take a few minutes when you wake up before you work. But other than that, people go a little too extreme. Absolutely. I mean, it's insane. Some people devote an hour or two in the morning. Yeah. I don't think, you know, anyone that's busy certainly doesn't have that time. Yeah, absolutely. That's cool that he's worked out there, man. That's one of the best books I've ever read.

Starting point is 00:07:52 Yeah, I think he has the most powerful effect in our industry right now from just keeping it real. Yeah. Like, you know, like I feel like everything that he's done is real, and it helps people like me out. You know, like him going bankrupt a few times and still kind of persevering on. So those things mean a lot to me. I do look up to him a lot in the industry for sure. And you're in a risky industry, right? I think 80% of gyms fail, something crazy like that.

Starting point is 00:08:14 Yeah. So the company's 10 years old now and it first started with, you know, strength conditioning and then physical therapy. That was kind of like the backbone was always like on the rehab side. Yeah. And I believe that that's how the gym maintains its success. And when I started noticing all these trends about biohacking and wellness start, I definitely pivoted the company and I went completely in that direction like five years ago when no one was really doing it and it paid off big time. Nice. And I've kind of separated myself away from some of those strength and conditioning things that I want to focus more on the sports science side and helping people with their programming. And I hired away and filled those positions within the company. But being able to pivot was a big deal. I got plenty of friends that own gyms and they look really cool on Instagram, but they're struggling big time because they don't have that foundational resource to, to fall back on. Right. Cause it's more than just lifting these days. It's more than just lifting. Yeah. And it's like regenerative medicine is

Starting point is 00:09:12 going to be at an all time high. So it was like, how can I blend regenerative medicine with, you know, going to the gym and then people do it in the same place as well. And kind of that, that's where I coined the term. It's, it's a health and performance center, right. You know, so it's not a gym. Yeah. It's cool to see you have that foresight too. Cause five years ago, biohacking wasn't that hot, right? No, it wasn't. In fact, I think from the last year of me really pushing it, I feel like that's when we started to see everyone at least become more vocalized of it. Um, but you know, I think I'm noticing a lot of like, there sometimes some things are like far pledged, like they're helping this and that. But it's like, does it really do that? You know,

Starting point is 00:09:50 and then they're saying these things to sell these items to people without knowing. Yeah. Like they'll sell you a small little red light panel for home. And does that do the same thing as my hundred thousand dollar red light bed at the gym? And it doesn't. Dude, I couldn't even see in that room. Yeah. It's like it's like the Luxor lights up inside but those are the things i'm talking about like red light helps but in the right setting and with the right dosage as well right so those are the things like i tried to educate people on yeah i bought that panel or whatever the red light panel for like 100 bucks but i feel like that room would be 100 extra results for sure i feel like the well you should come by do it for the first

Starting point is 00:10:25 time. You'll be like, I felt that like immediately in my cells right away. Wow. So you could really feel it and you can really feel that. So you, you sweat, but not because you're hot. It's because it's like increasing your mitochondria output. And that's what creates that, that sweating pattern in the body like that. That is cool. What are your favorite biohacking techniques that you've seen results from? Um, number one, definitely the medical hyperbaric chamber. Because that one, you're like legitimately getting the dosage of oxygen specific to the things that you need. And I believe it has the most long-term health benefits out of anything else that you can do. Wow.

Starting point is 00:10:58 And it's also the most powerful. So if you're looking for like cardiovascular health, it does make new blood vessels in the body. If you have Lyme disease and blood disorders, you can treat that inside of the hyperbaric chamber. If you have a concussion, if you get stem cells, we have a 14-day protocol how to maximize getting stem cells. You pay $30,000 or $40,000 and spend five days somewhere, you're going to want somewhere to maximize the output of that as well. So definitely hyperbaric chamber. Number two, um, infrared sauna for sure. I've got two saunas at my house. Um, cause I get bothered at the gym too much when I try to do stuff there. I love everyone there. I needed my, my own, like they start talking to you inside. Yeah. Cause I've got mercury poisoning. That's what, that's what got me into the whole biohacking thing two and a half years ago. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:11:46 And so the infrared sauna specifically will help remove toxins away from your body. And then the high heat sauna is good for your heart health as well. So I think having a blend of both of those. What caused the mercury poisoning? Something with stress had gotten it released. You have a lot of mercury that's stored in your brain canal and it gets released on certain conditions could be passed along from birth or from stress. Um, you know, I'm, I'm Hawaiian, but I don't eat that much fish

Starting point is 00:12:15 at the time. So it didn't come from that, but I went to see a doctor infectious disease specialists in Virginia and they ran a bunch of blood tests there. And that's when I found out that I had that. Wow. And is it like a lifelong thing or did it go away? Um, it'll go down. I haven't been able to get it all the way out of my body yet. And it's definitely, it's definitely a protocol in the process that I need to like have a hundred percent adherence to. And I've learned that like, I can't just do half of the things I'm supposed to do. It's gotta be all in. I had a doctor, Dr. Pompa on last week and he was talking about mercury poisoning how it can be passed down from the mother yes yep and then it's passed along through like through the brain canal can get released into the body so i don't know when it

Starting point is 00:12:52 was where i actually had it because i've had a lot of the symptoms for a long time and i just associated it with with being sore and stuff all the time but literally like all of my joints would be sore damn so i just playing sports and working i was like okay that's why i'm so sore and i kind of just like tolerated it yeah but then like the sleep issues started coming like your stomach feels uneasy no matter what you eat and then i was like okay something's definitely wrong crazy and it caused me to do a lot of testing with genova labs and that's where i found out that i wasn't methylating vitamins and minerals properly and that's really what stirred up the whole idea to create that health and performance center. Cause like I need to use that. So where am I going to do all this stuff at? How am I going to have the time? And that's what gave me the idea to try to

Starting point is 00:13:32 bring it all together. And it's crazy. Cause you do all the right things in health, but you still have that. And I feel like a lot of people are like that too. Yeah. First I was mad. I was like, why do I deserve to have that? When I, you know, I service people all day, that shouldn't happen to me, but you know, um, age and, and it doesn't matter what kind of shape you're in, but no one is disposition to, to sickness. And I've definitely learned that. And that's when I, when people come in, I always preach that to them, especially the entrepreneurs. You know, if you push yourself working 20 hours a day, there, there are going to be repercussions of that in the future. So if we can kind of get on top of it and just get a little bit of a better program for your body, at least something, at least some supporting supplements

Starting point is 00:14:09 and stuff, then that's going to be probably the best thing you can do to just maintain long-term health. Yeah. A preventative approach, right? Absolutely. Have you tested your biological age yet? Yeah. So I'm a 33 years old and my biological age is 31. Nice. So I went down from 37 to 31 once some of the mercury level had had gone down so solid i like to get it to like 28 yeah and then keep it there i'm 22 that's awesome yeah yeah i'm uh five years under okay yeah it's i want to get it down to david sinclair though he's 20 years under that's insane because i like i've probably got more 40 to 65 year old clients in that age range,

Starting point is 00:14:45 predominantly males in that age range, and they're way higher. Really? 10, 12, higher. When I tell them, because they don't think that, oh, it's 10 years high. I was like, you're aging your cells more rapidly. So it has an exponential effect on what it's doing to your organs and your heart and your blood vessels. So it's definitely

Starting point is 00:15:05 a talking point that comes up. Absolutely. Have you seen anything age cells rapidly, like any studies? Um, not necessarily, but I, I do think that we're not spending enough time looking at like the environmental toxins mixed in with the mitochondria health and the inflammation. Um, I, before they thought it was just an inflammation response. So I was getting all these tests done on my mitochondria and the inflammation levels of my body, but no one did the methylation testing, which led to doing the mercury test. So I was probably getting treated wrong for five to six years because we don't know what's wrong. Your body's just inflamed. Well, everything has a source of something. Right. And I just would not

Starting point is 00:15:45 take that, you know, as an answer. Like I knew that something wasn't right. Yeah. It's easy to blame inflammation if you're an athlete on the actual sport or activity. Right. But maybe it's a deeper cause. Absolutely. So, you know, as we're, as we're doing blood tests with patients, if we notice that their inflammation is not going down, you know, three months, six months, nine months, then a lot of times we'll have the providers maybe prescribed like a lymphatic detox that takes sometimes nine months to do. But what that does is it gets their body healthy enough to do an actual detox. Cause what some people do is I'm sure you've heard of like NAD IVs is a lot of patients will get that their stomach is hurting. They're not feeling well doing that. And I just don't think that their body is able to reciprocate that response yet.

Starting point is 00:16:29 So I feel like clearing out their lymphatic system, doing some hyperbaric chamber sessions, using infrared sauna. I feel like that should be like step one. And then they're able to actually uptake the NAD much better. Because either someone feels really bad or it doesn't affect them very much. Yeah, you don't hear an in-between. It's either the guy hated it or they loved it. Absolutely. But again, that trend of NAD is, oh, let me get $1,000 IV.

Starting point is 00:16:50 It's going to help me live longer. And that's not necessarily the case because there's also science that shows it can cause cancer because you're detoxing the body. It's such a rapid rate. You're literally like filling your body with waste and it's not able to get rid of it. Wow. So there's a balance there. They're $1,000 for that IV? If you get like the 1,000 milligram, yeah.

Starting point is 00:17:07 And you should do them in a four-day correlated span. Okay. But I think starting next week, we're actually going to be doing CBD nano-infused IVs. Damn. So on the low dosage ones, the high dosage ones are more for like Lyme disease patients. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:17:20 Low dosage can take away inflammation. Still want to drip it pretty slow, but there's a lot of studies that people feel way better doing that. And they still have the same effect as doing the NAD IV as well. Then we'll put glutathione and Myers cocktail and stuff in there as well. But so I'm excited to do that. Nice. You're also big on peptides, right? Big on peptides for sure. I have been for like 10 years. Now some of the pharmacies have taken away some of the peptides. We're fortunate enough to work with Partel Pharmacy out in Nevada here. And they're good about trying to make whatever peptide that we can.

Starting point is 00:17:56 Some of them have now gone from injectable to an oral form. I'm a big fan of blue, of methylene blue. So we can get the oral capsule for that now as well. So I don't know when a lot of the peptides will go back onto the market, but there are still some really great ones available. And again, we kind of let our providers dictate like what's going to be best for that patient based on their blood work. So basically we don't do anything without getting your blood work done.

Starting point is 00:18:20 Yeah. So how do I know what you should take? You know, we're not a company that just wants to take your money. We want to make sure we have the right tests and make sure that what you're doing is actually correct for you. Right. You know, we're dealing with your health. This isn't it's not like a joke. You know, I feel like too many of these like little hormone clinics or IV places pop up and they they really are giving people that they probably shouldn't have because they're doing improper testing protocols. Yeah. I'm not a fan of those TRT injections, to be honest.

Starting point is 00:18:49 I think there's, there's so many things that you can do first, like before you've been doing any hormones, I would get all your blood done. If you're not methylating certain vitamins and minerals, it's definitely going to affect your hormonal levels as well. Um, so start there and then you can, you know, go onto TRT if it's absolutely necessary or if you do want to. Yeah. You know, now you'll just go there and they're like, I want to get on TRT. Okay. We don't do that at our office.

Starting point is 00:19:12 We don't do medical weight loss because the patient wants to. We have a DEXA scan. We're going to check their bone mineral density first. And we're going to check it as they're doing medical weight loss. And it should be for true medical weight loss. Like if a patient's 100 pounds overweight, they probably should do medical weight loss. Yeah. So no, it was Olympic prescriptions. It's just not a fan. Yeah. And I think, I think we're going to see the negative sides of these things start to come out in about a year for sure. Yeah. Cause they don't even know,

Starting point is 00:19:35 right. We don't even know side effects, but a lot of the people I talked to the extreme chronic fatigue and their bone mineral density much lower. So that's why we include the DEXA scan as part of our health discovery session when you sign up at the gym. So that way we can keep track of everything, at least from that standpoint on, because without collecting some sort of data, we have nothing to go back to and actually see if something was making it worse or better for you as well. Right. So you've seen thousands of blood results. What are the biggest red flags you're seeing in patients? You know, I think a lot of the times people are always so stuck on their cholesterol, their triglyceride levels, but really is if your blood particles are small,

Starting point is 00:20:14 then they're going to end up sticking together. If they're large, then they're not going to stick together. So I worked with a doctor about seven years ago on blood microscopy, and that's looking at blood under the microscope and actually seeing the size, but now they have the actual tests through the blood where you can see that. I think a big one is APOA and APOB, which are your heart health indicators. And then of course, you know, people were concerned about glucose levels and hemoglobin 1 AC, but now it's like, we're realizing that there's about six or seven biomarkers in like these categories that all work together. So as we're trying to improve just one, it's affecting a lot of the other ones.

Starting point is 00:20:52 So getting these things categorized together and focusing on them as a category, I think is making much more improvements with the patients now. Getting less away from just focusing on cholesterol and more focused on what is inflaming their body to allow those platelets and stuff to stick together. And again, going into that source, because there's a reason why their body is doing that. There's a reason why an autoimmune disorder was triggered in your body. So getting to that source, or at least trying to get to that source, I think is a much better strategy. Yeah. How do you trust supplement brands? Cause there's thousands of those. So that's a great question. Um, the supplement companies that we do recommend, I try to get in the glass bottle. Um, I, I use full script a lot. So that's where we send patients their

Starting point is 00:21:39 protocol, they order it and it gets delivered to their home. Um, and I try to get as many of them in the Brown bottle as possible. Also on full I try to get as many of them in the Brown bottle as possible. Also on full script, they have a lot of brands that are all third party lab tested. So basically no one will go to the store and purchase something off the shelf. That's just a no, no, everything gets delivered and it's prescribed. So at least, you know, I don't, I don't have a lab test and everything, but if they do provide a lab test, I just feel much better about, you know, um, having the provider prescribe that to the patient as well. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:22:06 I hear crazy stories of like competitors sending their competitors samples to the lab and it has like heavy metals and toxins in them. Absolutely. And, you know, one thing, because we do have a lot of professional athletes, even when we do their IV, we have like NAD signed from the pharmacy. So we know their safety protocol. So that way nothing that shouldn't be inside of the IV is actually there right so I feel much better giving it to our professional athletes and then we actually save like three cc's in the IV bottles and we give it to them to keep in their fridge so in case they ever get drug tested they have exactly what they've done in our office smart yeah so I don't know anyone else that's doing that but I just felt if you are

Starting point is 00:22:41 going to get this stuff done, then you have all the evidence that this is what I'm taking and this is what's coming out of this bottle for them. That's cool to see you take the extra step with your clients. You really take this serious. I like that. Yeah. Before we launch anything, I try to like think about what is the worst case scenario? Do we have all our bases covered? How is this going to get rolled out properly? Because the next step is creating like an executive healthcare program. So we'll monitor, you know, um, a handful of clients and patients for a full year, but we'll do everything for them, all their exercise, their nutrition, um, their methylation testing. Cause there are

Starting point is 00:23:15 places like that that exist and you go to for one or two days, but then you don't get any tests done or just blood work done for, you know, maybe three more blood works. But what about everything else? What about your exercise? What about your back and your spine and your biomechanics and pain in your body? They're not looking at it from that scope. So I want it to do like a, like a 20 patient test pool and then start with that. And then we'll be able to upscale, upscale from there in the future. So speaking of spine, I saw on your website, you offer skeletal alignment. Yes. I have scoliosis. Yes. So that's one of our biggest body work sessions as far as actually contributing to a biomechanical response in the body. So sometimes scoliosis could be functional

Starting point is 00:23:57 and then sometimes you can have it from birth. It just depends on what the curvature is doing in your body. In either case, a combination of working with the joint, the nerve, and the muscle at the same time, and then always giving the patient exercise protocols to make sure that what we did for you is actually going to stay. Because just getting worked on on the table, you're going to feel good, it's going to make a change, but there's a lack of strength and stability

Starting point is 00:24:20 that have allowed the spine to get misaligned like that. So that's where we do the biomechanical test. I've got a full biomechanics lab with force plates and everything, so I can have you squat down. You can see if you're putting more pressure on one foot versus the other. And then, again, we can use that data to give you what you should be doing at home, what you shouldn't be doing at home, and how to make a big correction long-term. Anytime I have a client, I'm no longer thinking of them as a single session. I would like this individual to make a big correction long term like anytime i have a client i'm no

Starting point is 00:24:45 longer thinking of them as a single session i would like this individual to stay a client for 10 years and we have a lot of clients that have been a client for 10 years and by doing so we're kind of creating like a health roadmap for you versus just a singular session yeah you know like i'm really good at what i do i thought i was one of the best therapists in the world i kind of got away from that but i can only help you so much in two sessions, you know, every once I'm going to help you and you're never going to have back pain again. It's not true. So let's again, we'll find the source. We identify the source and then we'll make you a roadmap on, on how to deal with that in the future as well. Have you found out an optimal workout length for, uh, minutes per day

Starting point is 00:25:22 and like times per week? I think, you know, as long as you can stay active for like three days a week, if possible, um, workout length will kind of depend. Um, you know, even 30 minutes of strength training three times a week is going to be great. I think the biggest thing is, is people don't do enough cardio, but what type of cardio should I be doing? Just the variation. Um, we have VO two max testing, which gets our numbers for the zone two cardio for heart health. So if you don't, you do that for 20 minutes once per week, you can go on a walk outside for 30 minutes and maybe you do, you know, mountain climbers and add that into like a high intensity interval training for you once a week.

Starting point is 00:26:01 So just like, it's a combination of everything. Yeah. Like we need love weight training, but I'll do a lot of other, um, um, conditioning exercises as well. I don't like them, but I do know that I need them. So we also have a, um, a training app for people that don't live in Las Vegas or they can't make it to us. So we can program basically anything in the app for you to do as well with whatever exercise you have um available at home or if you go to a different gym and you just pull out you got you got your roadmap program right there on your phone and it's it's individualized and customized so i'm not i'm not selling the same thing for ten dollars to everyone oh that's cool we'll spend three hours making it for you so it costs more money but it's actually made for you yeah that makes sense how much importance are you putting on the diet side of things?

Starting point is 00:26:45 Diet is huge. Diet is because that's where all the inflammation is coming from. So me personally, I've gotten more into like the carnivore diet. I try to find a few farms where I can buy the meat from. So I'm at least eating, from my knowledge, as much grass-fed and organic as possible. Eggs, nuts, fruits. I'm from hawaii so i love rice but i definitely cut it down a lot and i feel way better um less caffeine but also the timing of the caffeine too

Starting point is 00:27:14 it would be the first thing i go and look for in the morning because it's a habit now i'll do like purified water lemon juice um some glutamine and and then a couple of drops of these oxidative drops that oxidize the water. And I'll drink that and I'll wait about an hour before I have coffee. And I found that it makes me a lot less acidic as well. Interesting. Yeah. I used to drink it first thing in the morning, but I heard that's not the right thing to do. Definitely not. I mean, I was doing coffees, energy drinks, pre-workouts, you know, no good. So everyone's got, everyone's got advice, but I've eliminated that. And the biggest thing is getting rid of all those dyes

Starting point is 00:27:47 that are in that stuff as well. Dyes? All of the supplements are colored. Oh. So you drink pre-workout and it's green like that grass, you know, or it's super red like your shoes, and you're doing that multiple times a day, and that's got inflammation properties all in it.

Starting point is 00:28:03 Kind of ironic, right? And then you do that multiple times a day, you're never going to get rid of your inflammation. Jeez. That's super ironic because you're taking it to get stronger, but it's making it worse. Yes, exactly. Because those supplement companies,

Starting point is 00:28:15 they use the image and the marking on the bottle to get you. The full script I was talking about, it's literally just the name, glutathione on there on the brown bottle. It doesn't look sexy. So you don't want to buy that. That's crazy. I need to talk to you about the farms because I don't trust the grocery store meat anymore, dude. It's really bad. Even at Whole Foods. Really? Yeah. I would say at the very least, go to a local butcher. And then there are a couple of farms that I can send you. I can't remember off

Starting point is 00:28:43 the top of my head. And then I've also done like a half or a quarter cow. So you'll find a farm. You can share the half cow with someone else and then you can store all the meat inside of your freezer as well. Yeah, I go to butcher block, but even that I don't know where they're getting their meat from to be honest.

Starting point is 00:28:58 I think it's still better than the massive chain store for sure. But you're absolutely right. It's the sourcing of everything that's the most important. Yes, you eat organic grass-fed. Organic grass-fed. I try to eat organic as much as I can. For instance, like if I'm buying apples

Starting point is 00:29:12 and they're from the same company, one says organic, one is not, I'm just going to buy the regular one. Oh yeah? Because it's in the same soil. Oh, wait, really? Yeah, they're in the same soil. Who knows?

Starting point is 00:29:24 It's just a marketing tactic. I heard anything with a skin, you don't have to buy organic. Yeah. But like strawberries and stuff, you definitely want to buy organic because they just soak up whatever water and pesticides that are not supposed to be in that. Yeah. Every time I travel to Mexico and stuff, I always feel so much better there. Way better. I eat kind of whatever I want to,

Starting point is 00:29:45 and I do feel significantly better. And I think it's the quality of the produce. Is that plus there's a soil epidemic right now. So the soil has lost 80% of its nutrients from when we were growing up. Absolutely. Which is crazy. And it's going to continue to get worse, I think.

Starting point is 00:29:56 Yeah. Like now everyone can eat jalapenos because they made them less spicy. They don't even taste like jalapenos anymore. You know? Yeah. I eat them like carrots now. That's crazy.

Starting point is 00:30:04 Times are changing, dude. It's scary. I'm trying to buy as much local as possible. even taste like jalapenos anymore you know yeah i eat them like carrots now that's crazy times are changing dude it's scary i'm trying to buy as much local as possible but it's hard in vegas because we're in a desert it is it is but but you have the right mindset so i think just having that mindset alone with food is going to make you make healthier choices for sure absolutely sean it's been fun where can people learn more about the gym, schedule an appointment and all that? You can go online, www.projectwithmean.co, not.com. I've been trying to buy that domain. I've been trying to buy the domain for 10 years. Yeah, the person just won't sell it to me. I think it's out of spite. But you can go on there or on Instagram. If you're in person, you can come down to the gym. We can do all the tests for you.

Starting point is 00:30:42 If you're not locally here, we can still send private phlebotomists to your residence anywhere that you live in the United States and pretty much do everything besides any hands-on work. Awesome. We can sell equipment to you, saunas, whatever the case may be, build you a biohacking center at your home. And yeah, that's about it. Cool. We'll link below. Thanks for coming on, Sean. Thank you so much, man. I appreciate it. Of course. Thanks for watching, guys. Check out the Wellness Center. I'll see you guys next time.
