Salt oil or sweetener and you cook something it doesn't necessarily taste better But it manipulates the brain to make you want to eat more of it

brain to make you want to eat more of it. All right guys, part three with Doug Evans, the sprout King himself. Thanks for coming back. Hey, my pleasure, Sean. I love you here. You were one of my first viral guests ever. So thank you for coming on that first time. Yeah. Thank you.

Yeah. I remember a lot of those clips blew up. Yeah. Well look, and now like the whole category of sprouting is blowing up I'm seeing more and more videos about it. You were like the first person I feel like in that space Yeah, I mean I think that what happened is let's just get right into it when I moved to the desert I realized I was not only in an environmental desert I was in a food desert and that I want to eat clean eating

I've been eating plants, raw vegan plants for 25 years. So when I moved to the desert, I was like what am I going to eat? So I literally asked the universe what can I eat and it said you can eat sprouts. And I knew about sprouts and I always thought of sprouts as a garnish or a side dish. But then with nothing else available, my perspective changed. And I saw sprouts as food, not just as a garnish. I saw them as vitamins and minerals. And then I remembered that early quote from Hippocrates that said, let

food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food. And there's a place called the Hippocrates health Institute in West Palm beach. And they serve people sprouts. Like that's what's on the menu sprouts to heal and treat chronic illnesses like cancer and heart disease and other stuff. They are treating them with sprouts. Crazy.

And you lived off sprouts for 30 days in a row. Right? Yeah, easily 30 days or longer. And, and the, the And the fact is I thought like maybe I'd be missing something and that's what caused me to go down the rabbit hole. And I went down and like, people say, where do you get your protein?

Every single sprout contains every amino acid to form complete proteins. And if you have a variety of sprouts, you're definitely getting complete protein. Right, yeah amino acids are the building blocks right? Yeah I mean if you think about where does a horse, where does a cow, like where does a grass-fed cow get its protein from? Right, from grass and you don't have to be a ruminant in order to process the amino acids into proteins.

So there are billions of people around the world that are eating just plants, but society, and this is what I love about your podcast is you tell the truth, society wants you to eat cooked food, processed food, refined food, meat, dairy, animal products, cereals, potato chips, fast food, anything that they could put in a container, a bag or a box will have a long shelf life and high margins, whether they're using additives, preservatives, food coloring, natural flavors, they don't care. It's like that industry just wants to profit off of you. And the origins, and I think you know this, of the processed and ultra-processed food industry are the tobacco companies.

That's where they came from. When the cigarette sales started to decline, R.J. Reynolds bought Nabisco, and Philip Morris bought Kraft and General Mills. So the world shifted to them using the scientists and the marketing expertise to drive sales at the expense of human health. Right.

And you see a lot of these big food companies acquiring healthy local brands, like Siete Foods got acquired yesterday for 1.2 billion. Yeah. People are really upset. Yeah. Well, what's going to happen is they're just going to take the brain, the brand leverage off of the goodwill and push it as far as they can, you know, to make it

profitable and there's no interest in health. Right. Yeah. Pepsi bought them out. So they're not really known for being healthy. No, I mean, it, you know, and it's okay. Like capitalism is capitalism is perfect. What you want to do is just let the buyer beware and have people being tuned in.

And the fact like for me, everything that I put in my mouth is a life or death decision. And you know, on like one of our previous pods, you know, we talked about cravings, right? I went deep down the rabbit hole of the microbiome and we have 38 trillion different microorganisms in our stomach that are non-human. Yeast, fungus, parasites.

Our living in our gut, and they are processing what we eat, and they are controlling and driving our cravings and our habits.

So when people, you know, the great example controlling and driving our cravings and our habits. So when people, you know, the great example is when Morgan Spurlock did Super Size Me. In the beginning, when he started to eat the McDonald's and was Super Sizing it, you know, he kind of liked it, right? Towards the end, he loved it because the microbes had shifted and they were highly addicted to that. So, you know, we, you know, especially in Vegas, there's gambling addiction, there's sex addiction, there's drugs, there's alcohol. The number one addiction in the world is food because you don't

have to gamble, you don't have to have sex, right? You don't have to smoke crack, but you have to eat. And as soon as you eat, it opens up the framework to the reptilian Survival brain that just needs to eat and this brain is wired that if you're eating food That is rich in fat. It causes the dopamine pleasure sensor in the brain Right because we're if if we were born into starvation and scarcity, and now there's food, someone has to tell the body to keep eating. If you think about a child, a baby, and I have a two-year-old baby,

the way that she goes for the boob, the way that she wants the milk, it's not because the milk tastes good. It's because the milk contains casein and the casein has a metabolic reaction in her brain that says, hey, this is my source of survival. I need this. And that's why when you take milk and you give it to an adult, even though like there are no adults in nature that are consuming dairy. It just doesn't happen. What is dairy designed for?

Baby calf to turn into a 2,000 pound cow. That's what that milk is designed for. If you give that milk to you, you're going to feel like, oh, okay, milk is good. I like milk. People like milk. If you take cheese, you're just condensing the water out, concentrating the casein and the hormones that are inside. So milk is just very addictive. Same thing with meat. So we just have to be aware that if you start to eat this, and the food

companies play with this as well, they know like, you know, Pringles, you can't just eat one, right? Hell no. Because the salt, the oil and the fat, you know, makes it highly, highly addictive. Did you see they just changed all the names of the food colorings to make it more kid-friendly? Yeah. It's terrible.

It's, you know, I was just on a panel with Callie Means and with Vani Hari, um, at Jesse Itzler's running man, which is amazing. He has a running event and he takes the initiative to have a food panel to talk about the atrocities that are going on in the food industry at a running. And it was so crazy.

I went there with Mike Posner. Yeah. I fed him sprouts and he did a 50K ultra on sprouts. And then an hour and a half after he finished this five hour race, he did a 16 song concert. What? So he had all that energy. All that energy.

And it's all recorded. Jesse had like full camera crew you could see, and he did the songs and it was just amazing and I was like an obstacle on this 50 50k ultra where standing on the track with stainless steel tongs handing out sprouts to people while they're running because the alternative is they're going to have gels and processed food and junk carbohydrates and junk protein as opposed to a natural way of getting their nutrients. I'll pick sprouts over Gatorade.

Of course. Yeah, I mean, to me, there's no difference between Gatorade and like coolant fluid for my car. Right? They even look the same. They radiate the same. So, it's just a matter of being aware of what you're willing to eat. Right. So, sprouts for the food side of things. What about. So it's just a matter of being aware of what you're willing to eat. Right.

So sprouts for the food side of things. What about drinking? Are you just doing water? Actually, most of my water comes from plants. I like, I'm drinking this cause I'm in Vegas and I'm just here and I'm not eating during this, but most of my water source is coming from eating raw fruits and vegetables and sprouts or vegetables. Oh wow. And sprouts are vegetables.

So there's enough water in the sprouts? There's enough water in the sprouts. There's more water in fruit. But basically that is the ultimate structured water. If you imagine like in a piece of fruit, the rain water filtered through the organic soil, the roots, the shoots, the stems and the leaves, and you're processing them by chewing them, you're extracting the water molecules from the cytoplasm. Sure, I could tell you winter's coming or that it brings cool dry air, but you already

knew that. What you might not know is that Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash is made with millions of moisturizing micro-moisture droplets to keep your skin silky soft for 24 hours. Plus, it's paraben and sulfate free. No matter how dry your skin feels, Dove has you covered. Buy Dove Body Wash today at your local retailer or visit Dove.ca to learn more and order online. The plant and you are getting structured water. So in a way, like this water that we're drinking here, the can is incrementally better than the plastic bottle, but this can is lined with plastic.

I just found that out actually. Yeah. So it's lined with plastic. So the best thing is drinking in glass, but even better is to have a natural source of just eating your water through nutrient rich, uh, raw fruits and vegetables. Like a watermelon.

Watermelon. But basically all raw fruits and vegetables have high concentrations of water. Some people cook their fruits. Yeah. I don't know why. I have vegetables. Well, vegetables I get tastes better. Right?

I mean, theoretically there, what happens is, you know, if you add salt, oil, or sweetener and you cook something, it doesn't necessarily taste better, but it manipulates the brain to make you want to eat more of it. That makes sense. So in my world with no added oil, no added salt, no added sweetener, you're eating. One of the reasons people are overeating is because of the processing of the food.

If I were to give you a handful of sprouts, you'd eat X amount and you'd be like, okay, I'm done. But if we were to pour olive oil, vinaigrette on it. It's like, you wouldn't even taste the sprouts. It's just a filler for it. So my idea is to eat the food in a natural state and think about like in nature. There are no animals in nature that are overweight. Like you take a lion in, in the, like, um, in the jungle and it's a surrounded like king of the jungle. It could eat anything that it wants to. It eats when it's hungry and stops eating when it's full. It doesn't

overeat. It's not gluttonous. But if you were to look at three animals, three mammals, three animals basically get chronic illnesses, humans, dogs, and cats. So as soon as we're domesticated, that's when the chronic illnesses kick in. That's crazy. Yeah, I see some fat dogs these days. Oh my God. Well, and I'm sure the owner is also fat.

Right? So you're seeing fat dogs, fat owners. And look, it's not to me about shaming. Right? This is about, you know, healthy. Right? So we know, like all the studies on longevity show that a caloric restrictive diet is the best for longevity.

Right? We know that heart disease is the silent killer, right? And we know that if you're eating raw fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, seaweeds and sprouts, you reduce the risk of heart disease. Like, it's just fact. So, I'm not telling everyone like what to eat or what not to eat. I'm just saying open up your eyes and be aware that everything that you eat is a life or death decision and you want to be present with the food that you're willing to consume because there's no truer adage than what we grew up on is that you are what you eat. You are what you eat.

So my philosophy is raise your standards of what you're willing to eat and then you will have a higher quality life. Absolutely. And I really like your diet too, because I know last time we talked about this, but living off the sprouts and the food you eat isn't that expensive. I mean, it's the most affordable way. Like if you buy seeds, right, it's under a dollar a serving for organic vegetables. And one of the things I also like about this is that it's fresh, right? It's fresh. So most, you know, I don't know where your audience is all over the world, but in the United States, most salad comes from Salinas Valley, California. So it's on trains and trucks going in bags and boxes

across the country in refrigerated trucks where most of that weight is coming from what? Water. They're shipping water weight. And the produce is cut off from the life force from the ground, from the roots, from the soil. So you have something that's raw, something that was fresh, but it's decaying over time. So when you can have a sprout, you are eating something fresh harvest.

Every day I'm eating a fresh harvest from my own sprouting kit every single day. And with those fresh sprouts, I'm eating the entire living organism, the root, the shoot, the endosperm, the embryo, it's all happening live and fresh right in front of me. So I'm very aware of what I'm eating, where it's coming from, where most people have no idea like the kids, they think food comes from the supermarket. They don't know where it's coming from the farm or the origins of the food.

They don't tell you either. They don't want you to know. They don't even know because most of the food companies are just brands and they're dealing with co-packers and the supply chains and the produce could be coming, you know, from, you know, anywhere in the world. There was an expose on Whole Foods where they had

organic California medley vegetables grown in China. What? Yes, I'll send you the clip. How are they able to put that label on it then? Well, because California medley is just like a brand. It's just like they're just labeling it there, but. But then they put in a small print grown in China. So you don't know whether your produce is coming, you know, from over the border mixed with sewer sludge as fertilizer. So that's where it's really important, you know, to be aware of the food that you're willing to eat. Yep. I just

found out for meat and seafood, actually, they could say USA based if they just process it in the USA, but it could come from another country. Yeah, I mean, I can't imagine like eating that. If you look at foodborne illness and outbreaks, you know, from those things, you look at the concentration of toxicity in chemicals and heavy metals in it, and then the impact of LDL cholesterol,

you know, on the arteries. Like, you know, we have to, we have to really like just take a breath and think about like, if we want to be healthy and we want to have the energy, right, we should raise our standards of what we're willing to eat. Yeah. Now I just found out coffee one in four has mold. I think it's more. It's more than that. It's more than that than that's disgusting. So if you just go to Starbucks, there's a good shot

You're drinking mold. Yeah, I mean look I think the mold, you know in coffee They are roasting it right and then they're adding high heat. So the mold toxicity level is potentially inflated and conflated. But the fact is you want to know like the source. Like if people really care, like the people who I know that are coffee kind of sores, they get green beans and they roast them themselves. And they're getting organic and they're getting, you know, they're going through the whole process and it's not about, you know, most people are

drinking coffee not for the flavor, not for the artisanal qualities, because they need the caffeine to stimulate their adrenal system because they need to overcompensate for the fact that they're not getting sleep and they're eating a crappy diet, which depletes the energy.

Yeah, they use it as a source of energy, 100%. Most people drink coffee for that reason, I'd say. You know, I never had a cup of coffee in my life. Really? Yeah. Tea? No tea. No tea. I've had, I've, I've had tea. I'll have some herbal tea, like maybe one or two cups a year. Wow. And you never had a cup of coffee. You naturally have energy. I mean, the energy is coming from having a desire and having a will and also not doing anything that

affects the perfect harmony of my body. Yeah. No alcohol, no smoking. No, no. That's cool. Like alcohol we know is a metabolic poison destroys every cell that encounters. Like, you know, that's like poison. Like, why do we want to eat poison?

And it's easily accessible in America. You just walk in and buy it. I mean, it's, it's, it's really, you know, it just goes into the drugs, processed food, alcohol, like all of these things, because people aren't, you know, present, you know, it's society. Like, I don't think that anyone's doing anything wrong. I think what's happening is the deck is now stacked against the American public. Like the major agencies don't work for protecting us consumers.

They work for the food companies and the farming companies. If there wasn't a farm bill subsidizing meat production, like a hamburger would cost $35 a pound, right? Chopped meat would cost $35 a pound, but the farm bill is subsidizing it. So like everything is just stacked towards money, just in the society where I'm looking at like what's really important is health. Wow, I didn't know about that farm bill. Yeah, do some research on the farm bill. Get some ex USDA FDA guys, get a lobbyist, you know, get a, get an ex lobbyist, you know, from Washington, DC. I'd love to hear their minds. I've had, uh,

Cali means on and Casey's coming on next week, but, um, yeah, I'd love to get a former employee at these government agencies. Yeah. Cali would know one because I'm sure, yeah, what's happening is like the same way, like people who work in the slaughterhouses eventually can't take it anymore. And before they quit, they stuff a video camera up their ass, they sneak it in and they film the atrocities that go on in there. Jesus. Right? And do you know that in the U.S. if you film what goes on in a slaughterhouse, they treat it as terrorism. Whoa.

So that's a felony. It's beyond a felony. Like it's very, very strict. You could go to jail for 20 plus years because they're calling it domestic terrorism because it can affect the profitability of those heinous organizations. So that was one way that they wanted to prevent it. And believe it or not, there are still people willing to risk 20 years in prison in order to share and expose the atrocities that go on.

Yep. I had one of them on the show. She rescued four chickens from a slaughterhouse. She has an ankle monitor on right now and she's going to court soon. She's facing 20 years. Yeah. Yeah. So it's, it's really, you know, and it's messed up because that slaughterhouse,

uh, is one of the biggest businesses in that city she's in. So they pretty much have the police like, you know, yeah. I mean, the deck is stacked. Yeah. They have everyone on their side. So, cause it's bringing in a lot of money for that city. Yeah. I mean, the good thing is this case and this woman, you know, will bring out

the atrocities and we'll just see, but that's where, like, I don't even know who to tell you to vote for. Like I don't even want to talk politics, but what we have to do is have individual agency to make better decisions, you know, for yourself, your family and your friends. Yeah. Yeah. I know last time we were talking, you were for yourself your family and your friends. Yeah Yeah, I know last time we were talking you were a fan of RFK and Maryann Williamson Yeah, great people. Yeah, did you you got Maryann on yeah on the pod?

She's gonna come back on and then I'm trying to get RFK before the election Yeah, I like what he's doing with going up against all this stuff. So yeah, I mean, it's really I I love it And you know, it's really, I love it. And you know, it's the interesting thing when he's willing to have discussions about things that no one wants to talk about. Yeah. It's never, I've never seen this in politics

where they're going after big pharma and big food companies. So I think people are waking up. I mean, I think we have no choice. I mean, the level, you know, it used to be like one out of 150 people would get autism and now it's like one out of 38. Crazy. And that's what they're, they're saying it is could be even worse. Yeah.

So, well, I'm glad you had Mary Ann and in, you're still in touch with, with RFK's team. Yeah, I'm on their list, but he's been all over campaigning. So maybe after the election, when he's more cool down. All right. When this drops, I'll text it to him and I'll give him another reminder. Thank you. He should do it. Yeah because Tulsi was a great episode and they've been touring together. Yeah so well yeah I mean you're doing really important work. What's your

goal of this pod? Educate, inspire, get the truth out there man because when I was filming this thing two years ago I couldn't even say the V word vaccines I couldn't even say certain topics and now I can which is a great sign and now I just want to keep pushing the truth Amazing, you know amazing. Well, look what I will say is like this sprouting world Right that is Stainless steel and glass You put one quarter cup of seeds in, and five days later, you get a full jar of edible organic.

Wow, that's quick. So five days, and it's so simple that what we're seeing right now is that people are growing sprouts, you know, like it's hard to believe like when I wrote, you know, this book, the sprout book, and we had another one out, like this book became a national bestseller, like broken to the top 70 best selling books on Amazon. Crazy. paperback book about sprouts, right? With no budget behind it, no PR, just organically spread because it resonated with the consciousness. So now, you know, what people are buying, literally from the sprouting company,

people are putting in large bags, so they're buying 10, 20 bags of the seeds and they're putting them in their bunkers. So they're prepared, you know, for crisis. Smart. Right. So sprouts are the number one survival food because their seeds can last a long time

because they have nature's preservative and all you need to do is add water. So during the last pandemic, when people were fighting over Kraft macaroni and cheese and Coca-Cola and toilet paper, we had no concern, because we had hundreds of pounds of seeds ready to rock and roll, ready to grow our own food.

They just ran out of toilet paper yesterday in Vegas. Really? The ports closed down, did you see this? Wow, no, I'm- Yeah, so there's port strikes right now on the East Coast so all the ports are closed. Wow. Toilet paper sold out again everywhere. Wow. Crazy but when you got these seeds you're good. Yeah and get a bidet. Yeah definitely get a bidet. I don't know why people even use that toilet paper it's actually bad for you. Yeah I mean like if you got chocolate

smear on your arm you're gonna wipe it off you're gonna wash it off. I use bamboo toilet paper. Yeah, we have a bidet in every bathroom in the house. Smart, so you don't even use any toilet paper? No. Wow. How do you dry it off? Air. Okay, just fucking do some fucking jumping up and down.

Oh, you're funny, bro. Yeah, you could probably live off the grid if you wanted to. I mean you know we have a house that's fully off the water grid electric grid has solar has batteries as well wow that's the way to live because my electric bill last month was 2,000 water bill was 2,000 and I'm at their mercy yeah yeah so I think you know there are you know solar is not without its complications,

right? And I dread the day in 50 years when they need to, you know, dump all those solar panels. But in the now, it's, it's definitely a much better solution, especially as it's getting hotter, the electric bills are going up up so you're probably they're probably charging you second and third and fourth tier charges just for running you know the environment they're not taking the consideration that would be unsafe if you didn't do that but what I would suggest is sleep outside yeah that's too hot though at night in Vegas yeah probably not in the summer but yeah maybe now I could I mean we have a a nice six person tent and we have three twin mattresses inside and we sleep outside.

Really? So you don't even have a master bedroom inside? We have a bedroom, but you know, the preference is to sleep outside. Wow. And is that for the grounding aspect that you're doing that? It's to see the stars and the Milky Way and the galaxy. That's cool. And also to get that fresh night air.

So even if it's really hot, and you can get like a little mister, and that will cool you off quite a bit. That's interesting. It's just a matter of just getting used to it. But I would go sleep on a lawn chair, one night, see how it feels. They say sleeping on the ground's actually good for you.

Yeah, I'm just thinking, just if you want to be like grounding is is the greatest I'm just saying from a comfort level You've got a lounge chair, and you don't want to be on the ground And I don't know if you've got vermin and other critters you know just be got scorpions you got scorpions So slightly elevation I'd be smart. I just went stargazing two days ago. Where'd you go out here? There's a pitch black road. 20 minutes from my house. Wow. Amazing. Yeah, it was beautiful. I haven't done that in 15 years, dude. Yeah. I would put on your calendar next August 12th. August 12th. There's the perceived meteor

shower and you might be able to see a shooting star every minute. So I saw two when I went two days ago. Isn't that crazy? But I'd love to go August 12th shooting star. Yeah, it's an annual meteor shower. You ever see any UFOs when you were doing this? Yeah, I don't want to go down that path. Don't want to get you in trouble there. Yeah, there's a lot of shit we don't know.

Yeah, I feel that. I feel that. What else have you been working on lately? I know you've been going to the farmer's market, selling these out, right? Yeah, I mean, the main thing is getting the message out. So I've been doing a lot of science-backed. So I'm working on my second peer-reviewed published white paper. We're doing live events. So we did Jesse Itzor's Running Man. So I know you want to get Jesse on the pod.

Well, we'll send him a clip. But the main thing is like every day, having dozens of conversations, even podcast form, interviews, one-on-one to supporting people. Because I think what's happening is sprouting in other countries like in Japan, broccoli sprouts alone are billion dollar industry.

Like one company is a billion dollar company selling broccoli sprouts and they're selling them in 20,000 retail stores. So like in 7-Eleven you can get broccoli sprouts in Japan, right? Because they think of broccoli sprouts as a health food and as something to prevent and to treat cancer. So they know that there. And so here it's just the beginning. So it's really like blue ocean, you know, to be

able to get this message out there. So, you know, what I'm working for just, you know, last week, you know, Mike Posner and I, we met with Gary V and the Vayner team and they're super stoked about sprouting and just every week, every day, it's like getting the messages out there and seeing how people are transforming their lives. I put out in the, you know, in our, in your mastermind chat, you know, about people who want to lose weight naturally, because this, you know, I don't know how many people are on Ozempic and the weight loss drugs,

and they're, they're working on pushing the standard care that if you have a 12 year old that's overweight or obese, they want to put them on these weight loss drugs as a 12 at 12 and they'll be on them for life. So you know what we've you know uncovered in the research is that by eating sprouts they're super high in fiber they are low in calories and low in fat so they will fill up the stomach and they will create the glp1 peptide and give you the feeling of satiation. So if someone were just eating sprouts, not just exclusively, but if they're eating sprouts, they're actually nourishing themselves at a core level. They're getting more fiber, more structured water into their system, and high concentration of micronutrients and

phytonutrients. So if you know anyone that is overweight or obese that it wants to naturally shift their diet, shift their health, shift their physique, start eating sprouts and adding sprouts to the diet. That's simple, huh? It's that simple. Wow, yeah these are ozempic pills. Who knows what the side effects would be on those? I mean, we already know, but here's the dilemma, right? It's a real catch-22. I would rather see someone lose weight at any cost

than stay obese or morbidly obese. So, because the risk factor of being so heavy and the stress on the internal organs and the risk of a heart attack is so great and the risk of diabetes is so great that, and diabetes is a trap. Type two diabetes leads into type three diabetes, which is Alzheimer's and dementia,

and the obesity leads into type 3 diabetes, which is Alzheimer's and dementia, and the obesity leads into heart disease, that it's really important for people to lose weight. So the research is now, if you look at how to lose weight, right, you can get the gastro bypass stapling of the stomach, very effective, ozempic, almost as effective as the gastro bypass. With less risk, right? Because you're not going under the needle and the full part. But the healthy part is eat fresh, raw fruits and vegetables. Walk a little.

And like you can start exercising just barely moving but just getting to the level of movement and that's like the healthy way to do it. Absolutely. Are you still running barefoot? I run I run barefoot, I run in my five fingers, you know I'm big right now on the trampoline so I love the mini rebounder and the trampoline just to accelerate the shifting of the lymphatic system, you know, and the lymphatic fluids. So I'm doing that. And, you know, last year I ripped through a hundred thousand pushups.

Damn. So how many is that a day? That's 274 a day. Holy crap. Which is not a lot. I do like sets 40, 50, or 60. Whoa. And you know, five, six sets and bang it out.

And I listen to Eminem, Not Afraid. That's a classic. And you know, and I encourage everyone, body weight exercises. Like you can go to a gym, nothing wrong with the gym, but if you can run free, you could do pushups free, you could do burpees, jumping jacks, pull-ups. So I'm building an outdoor gym right now,

just so I could do my pull-ups, you know, and muscle-ups, just because like you got to have movement. Yeah. And you got to have some strength training. And air squats are like free. I want to go for my air squats. My goal this, you know, for this year, I'd like to be able to start doing some pistol squats. Mm, Those are tough. Wow, you've convinced me to buy trampoline now

I need to look into those. Yeah, just get a little mini rebound It's like a hundred bucks jump up and down for two or three minutes Rebounder I just bought a vibration machine too. Have you seen those? Yeah, those are great Those are great for the lymphatic system But I just think like all of these like little things are helpful. But when there's a natural alternative to jumping up and down versus being on the vibrator, I would, I would air to jump up and down. Well, Tony Robbins brings the trampoline everywhere he goes.

Yeah. So he knows what's up. Oh, absolutely. Um, yeah, there's all these biohacks you could use, but like you said, I think the main thing is to diet and lifestyle. And just movement. Absolutely. Yeah, there's all these biohacks you could use, but like you said, I think the main thing's to diet and lifestyle. And just movement. Like I think the next time we do this pod,

I want to be standing. I'm down. Like sitting down, like just wire us up, move the cameras back a little bit further and just be more alive. That should be a show. Just take a walk with your guests and film the whole thing. I think so.

That'd be cool. I think so. I mean, like just movement movement or even running we should do a running pod. Yeah. Yeah, we'd have to keep the pace honest But yeah, I'm down. I just ran a 5k last week. I think that's great. Yeah, you run every day No, it's my first time in five ten years. So off the bench 5k good for you. 25 minutes. Yeah, 3.1 miles Yeah, good stuff a lot of it's mental stuff. A lot of it's mental, dude. Yeah, it's all mental. Running is very mental. It's all mental.

I used to run back in the day, and I had a weak mindset. Yeah, now you got a strong mindset? Yeah. I love it. Yeah, comes with a thousand podcast episodes. That's how many you've done? Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I look at your schedule,

you just bang them through. 25 this week. That's amazing, and how often do you've done? Yeah. Yeah, I mean, like I look at your schedule, you just bang them through. Yeah, 25 this week. That's amazing. How often do you drop them? Three a day, so 21 a week. That's incredible. Good for you. So I'm gonna go for the world record.

I should be there in two years. I think you could do it in one year. Well, it'd be tough, because Joe Rogan has about 3,000. So if I did it in one year, I would have to drop a lot. And I think three a day is already a lot for most people. So if I need, if I did in one year, I would have to draw up a lot. And I think three days already a lot for most people. So I'm a, I'm going to give it two years. Okay. I'll catch him. You'll see me in two years

from now. I will be past Joe Rogan and episodes. Wow. Yeah, that's pretty crazy. I love it. Just keep going. Yeah. He had a 15 year headstart, so I had to catch up. Yeah. And what do you think is the hardest thing about what you're doing? Facing censorship is tough because it stunts your growth So certain guests will shadow ban me. I'm sure you've experienced this with what you teach. My views are down 80% right now Really? Yeah on on social or on the pod? Because I had Tulsi Gabbard on I had this guy named Sneeko and a few other political ones and they just shadow banned me since.

Well, how do you get out of the shadow ban box? I'm still figuring it out. But if it wasn't for guests being able to collaborate on the post, I'd be so screwed because I'm shadow banned. So if I just did solo episodes and had no collaborators, I'd be done, dude. And most people are like that. Wow. So it's tough. Yeah, I think you gotta get Zuck on the pod. I'm down. He seems to be turning a new leaf.

Yeah. I think you gotta appeal directly to him. I mean, you have a big enough audience that I would promote ads, you know. Hey, Zuck, come on. Yeah, just say like, what's up? Yeah. You know, like you like, what's up? You know, like you got like the shadow banning,

I think is really tough. I'm sure you faced it too in your space. Anything holistic they don't like. Yeah, they don't like. Not at all. It's getting better, but not there yet. They want you to like literally shower in Purell. I mean, think about half their advertisers, who are the?

Yeah, I mean, they want to have gloves with Purell, you know Squirting out of it like the spider-man glove but with with Purell think about Purell cells during the pandemic I mean, it's crazy. It must have made a killing just crazy. I used to use it every day in high school Yeah, and that's probably made my microbiome worse in my hands. Yeah. It's, it's, it's other than the best ever. Yeah. And even the hand soap they use everywhere, that pink shit, it's terrible for you. Yeah. I mean, I go to different places, so I haven't even seen the pink shit in five. I can't even imagine the last time. But look, I think that's a whole other thing. Like, you know,

rather than carrying around, um, carry around a little you know three ounce jar of Dr. Bronner's. I use Bronner's. Yeah carry that shit with you. I didn't know they made mini ones. They make mini ones, travel ones. Nice. Perfect so you can even bring it on the airplane. You don't want to go to the hotel and use their crap. No hotels are always a struggle man. But that's the whole thing and look you know brings me to like the last point I want to talk about travel. People always say like, oh, how do you travel?

How do you eat clean when you travel? It's like you call the hotel in advance and say, remove all the alcohol, all the soda, all the candy, all the chips. Right? I want an empty refrigerator in the room. And then you call Instacart and have them loaded up. So you're getting what you want. So you're not a victim of your circumstances.

You are taking initiative on what you're willing to. Yeah. Yeah. I do that same thing. I call Instacart, get the spring Valley mountain water. I get the natural toothpaste and natural toothbrush and everything. Yeah. Yeah. So I think that's it. Well, Sean, you're doing a great job.

Thank you so much for having me. Yup. Thanks for coming on. Well, do you sell these online yet? Yeah. Yeah. These are on the, they're in stock right now. Cool. The sprouting company.com. Uh, it's just beautiful. Anything that touches the sprouts. All glass too, which I like. Yeah. Glass and you know, easy to hold glass, stainless steel. Love it. We'll link that below. We'll link the book below. Thanks for coming on Doug. Okay. Thanks for watching guys.
