And I got to tell you,

it doesn't matter where you're going financially. It doesn't matter because the cemetery is full of rich people. What you need to be worried about is your health. And it's something that I have been uniquely, uniquely kind of married to for the last 20 years. And it's a story I'm gonna talk about that happened with my wife. And today we got somebody that is, I mean, I call him biohacking expert,

call him one of the top people in his field as far as getting you right at a cellular level. We're not going to talk about lifted weights. I don't know, maybe we will, but we're going to talk about how your body functions at a cellular level and how to get the most out of your health, therefore getting the most out of your life. This is the author of this awesome looking book called How to Win at Modern Wellness. Welcome to the program. This is Samuel Tejada. Samuel, how are you, buddy?

I'm doing well, man. Thanks for having me here. Glad to have you, man. I love talking about biohacking. I love talking. Actually, it's funny. The podcast I was just on, which is about real estate and something else, we actually talked a little bit about biohacking, which I thought was very interesting.

But you are a guy that is, I'm going to call you, you wrote an Amazon bestseller. You are on, there's a council of people across the country, including Gary Brekka, including these people, and you sit on that council. So I mean, I think we can call you an expert. I think that's fair. That's what people call me. You know, I didn't give myself that name, but yeah. I guess I'm a health and wellness expert. There's a couple of names out there people call me that I definitely didn't give myself either. So I can appreciate that, which is good. Talk to me about your journey to this.

So how did you get into this? How did this start for you? Yeah, so I'm a retired firefighter paramedic. So I did 12 years out on the road, South Florida, Fort Lauderdale to be exact. And like most firemen, we work 24 hours on and we're off for 48 hours. So most of us, we supplement our income on our days off, you know, doing something else. Guys have landscaping businesses and working at the hospital, whatever it is. I got into the health and wellness field

early on. I started at the fire department when I was 20. I retired at age 32. I'm 37 now. And I started working with a company actually headquartered based out of here, out of Las Vegas called Cetagenics. I know the company. Yeah. So I was working directly with their chief medical officer, Dr. Robert Willicks. Is he the ripped old guys that used to be in the magazine ads and yeah so i was working um directly with the chief medical officer dr robert willicks is he the ripped old guys that used to be in the in the magazine ads on the planes life okay yeah but dr willicks was pretty ripped too okay god um he was old he passed away about five years ago unfortunately at the age of 80 and um so yeah so dr willicks was based out of south florida boca raton and he was their main doctor he He would train all the other doctors. So I was basically positioned with him and I started just learning tons of stuff.

You're talking about a guy who was a former heart surgeon who got so fed up with today's medical system where he says, you know what? I don't want to perform heart surgery anymore. I want to prevent people from having to be on the operating table getting heart surgery. So he was world renowned, would teach doctors from all over the world and some of the stuff that he was talking about man if he didn't have that heart surgery background as an md would definitely a lot of people would be thinking he's selling snake oil a little out there yeah yeah but um you know just started learning tons of stuff now xenogenics back then, you know, catered to some of the most affluent people on the globe. Yeah, it wasn't cheap. Yeah.

We had about 350 of those patients in South Florida. And what I did, I'd actually drive around every three months to the person's home, these big mansions, and draw their blood. You know, so I did that for about eight years. And for eight years, I built some strong relationships with these very affluent individuals in South Florida. And, you know, a lot of these people, they, they had homes everywhere, right? California, Colorado, and also in Florida. And, uh, they were, they were, they would start telling me, it's like, Hey, Sam, you know, um, I get these vitamin drips back in Cali in my house in Cali. And the guy who comes as a firefighter paramedic. So when I had like the fifth patient, tell this I was like you know what I should probably look

into this I got to figure out this IV drip thing IV drip thing right so I started going online researching what was potentially going to be my competitors which now most of them are my customers um and I saw what they were doing I said you know what I can do that and I can do it better and then that's where it just started what did you see that they were doing. I said, you know what, I can do that and I can do it better. And then that's where it just started. What did you see that they were doing that you thought you could do better? You know, the, the environment, the experience, a lot of the doctors were doing it out of the typical clinical setting. So what I said, I says, you know, this has to be something a little bit more attractive. It has to have like a spa feel to it. It has to be like, I'm going to, this is going to be my spa day to

take care of my health and that's what i did i created it into a very relaxed setting in a good environment very zen you go in there and you just feel you don't feel like you're going to the doctor's office even though we're all clinically based yeah everything we're doing but it's just a whole different feel so that was the name of that business that's's the drip place, Liquivita? Liquivita. Liquivita. That's what it is. So those are wellness centers that we started with. How many wellness centers do you have at Liquivita now? So we've sold 37 total now, more than half are open. We're actively franchising throughout the nation. So yeah, we're rocking. Love that. So what services are you offering at Liquivita? And no, before you,

if you're listening to this right now, you're like, this is a damn infomercial. I swear to God, it's not. I promise it's not. I'm just, this is interesting to me. So stop it. Stop it. We're not doing an infomercial. I'm just curious.

So anyway, what services do you provide at Liquivita? Because I want to know. So we have five pillars that we focus on for you to optimize your health. So we have our wellness side, which we're doing the comprehensive blood analysis. We're doing all of the different diagnostic testing that we do as well.

Hormone optimization goes under that wellness section, the IV trips as well too. We have our weight loss division where we focus with different- That's gotten a little busier in the last year and a half. Very busy, especially with all the glp drugs yeah which we've seen tremendous results with that yeah um so we got our weight loss division we have our beauty division where we do a lot of medical aesthetics the botox the fillers body contouring um and then we have our regenerative

medicine division where we work with a lot of professional athletes. We work with people with injuries to regenerate tissue and fix injuries and stuff. And then last but not least, we have our sexual health division, which is pretty important. So can you get a lot of these services done at the same time? Yeah, you can actually. The reason I say this, and actually I have a dream. Would you like to hear my dream? Let's go. Not really my dream, right?

Look, you can steal this because i'm never going to do it it's just a random thing that i came up with one day it's there so my wife is like is like like a lot of women it's dude it's i gotta go get my nails done i gotta go get my hair done i gotta go get my lashes done i gotta go get this done and all of this shit takes so much time right it's crazy so i have a concept i want to come up with where it's you do beauty like a nascar pit stop we're like literally it's called wham glam thank you ma'am where they throw them up in a chair and you got to see you brought somebody she's laughing because she knows you would go to this if it was good where you can get up in the chair and they hit the eyelashes they hit the hair extensions they hit the nails

they hit the feet they hit it all at one time like, you got like a team working on you and then you're out of there in like an hour. You would get how much, okay. She's not on the podcast right now, but I'm just going to get some fingers held up. How much more would you pay for those services if you could get them all done at the same time and say, get your life back? Twice? Yeah. You pay twice as much. Steal this. I already own, I literally own that URL. I'm glad. Thank you, ma'am. I'll sell you the URL. Just get the business over. So I get my wife back on my days off where she's not running around seeing 85 people beautifying herself. So can you do a lot of these services at the same time at your place? And we do. Right. Because here's the thing. A lot of these people that can do this or afford to do this are also probably very concerned about time. Right. Which is my

thing. Right. One of the things you said already that I loved was you would come to, you know, you go to their house and take the blood. Yeah. Which I thought was cool. Which we still do that, right? And even like the IV drips and some of our other services, we have our concierge services where we'll actually go to your office, to your home, you know, wherever you're at, we'll send somebody out.

Well, I find it really interesting that we've gone from from xenogenics which was incredibly expensive um and really i think now is that are they still in business now or now they are that that was a lot of just hgh and trt correct it was okay you know unfortunately they didn't really adapt to the times with a lot of the new you know peptides yeah biohacking stuff they wanted it it's kind of like just stay in that lane yep which now they're trying to get in the lane that a little late a little late a little late but i but things have gotten so much more affordable i mean obviously you know not that much more affordable but it's uh it's crazy how much some of this stuff still costs yeah but i think that i think you've seen this rush and I don't know, you tell me what came

first, the chicken or the egg. Do you think it was now that Gary Brekka has become so famous on social media, you've got, I think Dana White did more for his company than one solo person did for anybody's company in the history of companies. But do you think this business and wellness and peptides and ongoing hormone replacement management, do you think that has gotten bigger since Gary Brekker got bigger? Or do you think that it was already getting big and Gary kind of fell into the niche? I think it definitely fed into bringing more awareness for the industry, you know, but there

are a lot of other biohackers out there that are doing a great job that are bringing a lot of science behind it as well, too. So to answer your question, yes, it definitely did feed into it because Gary Brekka is big on the social media side. So it brought a heck of a lot more awareness. Traditionally, when you look at the biohacking space and looking at medical doctors, they're great medical doctors. But when it comes to the business side or marketing side, they just didn't have it. Yeah. You know, now with Gary Brekka, he, you know, he was around way before 10X. You know, Grant Cardone came in as a patient and then, you know, loved his experience where he says, you know what, we got to bring this to the world.

Yep. Now, Grant Cardone, you know. Oh, he's going to make money. Oh, yeah. Grant's going to make money. Everything he does. He's going Now, Grant Cardone, you know. Oh, he's going to make money. Oh, yeah. Grant's going to make money. Everything he does. He's going to put you out there. Yeah.

You know, he's going to make you famous. So, you know, going into that platform, into that system, he blew Gary Brekker up. Yeah. You know, so. A little too fast if he has to be. Look, we've talked about it on the podcast. I'm not going to hate on what 10X Health does.

I personally, the experience that I had, if you want to go back and find that episode, you can. It's called The Truth About 10X Health, where I talk about, I don't really think it's bad to say that about them as people or humans. I just think that their growth outpaced their ability to fulfill

is what my ending was. Well, the one thing I'll say about that is they know it, know yeah they might not speak about it publicly but they know it and uh being in the industry and connecting with a lot of people including them they've made a lot of adjustments they've uh recently have done some strategic partnerships with revive um which revive is in 47 different countries. Sarah Lomas is the CEO. They have a wonderful lab out of Austria where now they're actually able to move at a quicker pace. So, and these are recent things that have occurred.

Well, good. But they're making certain adjustments. But I think the reason I love to have you on and I want to have anybody on, I mean, here locally, my guy, Dr. John Beadle, and then you, the reason I like having other people on is to let people know that this science and these techniques is not exclusive to that product, right? There's a lot of great people, including yourself, that are experts in

this, that you can get this type of treatment. There's a lot of options out there. So you need to become more interested in the treatment than you do in the company. I agree. I agree. So my book, How to Win in Modern Wellness, as you can see, there's several different faces. Yeah, there's lots. So what I did when I first got into the industry, it was a very cutthroat mentality industry where the competition just like bashed whoever your competitors were.

I took a different approach. I said, you know what? If we're all here chanting that we want to change the course of medicine, we got to create one strong voice. We can't be against each other. If not, Big Pharma is going to win. That's already a difficult battle. So what I did, I built relationships with all my competitors.

So on that cover, you have owners of some of the top companies around the globe that I gave a chapter. I gave each of them a chapter in the book. And we're all talking about how we're winning together in the world of modern wellness. I think that one of the big political things that I think is a problem in this country is I don't think Big Pharma should be allowed to buy advertising on cable news channels. I don't think Big Pharma should be allowed to buy advertising on cable news channels. I don't think big pharma should be allowed to make political donations. And I don't think political, I think, I think you should get big pharma out of politics. I think there's way too many decisions being made about things that are based on finance. Yeah.

Finances. Absolutely. I agree with you 100%. I mean, it's funny. I've never seen a peptide that can possibly change your health dramatically advertised on Fox News. You know what I mean? I've just, I've never seen that. They just, it just doesn't. Yeah. So until they get their hands on it. Well, yeah. Yeah. Until they can, until they can lop that out because there's a lot more money in, in, uh, in maintaining the problem than there is in fixing

it. What do you see as you meet with people or you start to see these tests? What are some of the things, I know you can't generalize everyone's health, but where you see are the places where people seem to have the biggest gaps? Well, there's a lot of deficiencies. The first deficiency that I would say is vitamin D, right? Vitamin D3, everyone's deficient in it. You know, we don't live in the caveman days. We're not running outside butt naked where we can get our vitamin D from the sun. You know, vitamin D is crucial. It's good for immune system.

It works off six different type of tumors. You know, there's a lot of benefits. It upregulates all of your hormones. You know, we're fully clothed and we're inside all day so we don't get vitamin d3 so that's something that i would say out of the tens of thousands that we do on a monthly basis of blood work about 95 percent of people are deficient in vitamin d3 always down in the d3 i take a i take a d3 k3 supplement i think it's k2 d3 k2 so very important good that you brought that up because you could take d3 but the k2 helps transport the d3 word needs to go um it helps you know also your calcium you don't want calcium in your body to go in the wrong places you don't want to

have calcification in your arteries and you know in your heart and stuff so taking d3 you want to make sure you're taking the K2 also. Well, I think something else that I think, another reason I think people should get these tests done and have blood work done and have tests done and meet with somebody like you is, for example, I'll talk about my own personal experience. I have two parents that were both type 2 diabetic. My mom is still around.

My dad is not, but they're both diabetic. So diabetes runs in my family. So I'm not a person that is diabetic, but my sugar was maybe a little high on some of my blood tests. So rather than go on metformin or some of the other, you know, pharmaceutical grade stuff, I started taking berberine. Oh, nice. And it sorted it completely out. Yeah. Right. I don't have any issues with any of that stuff because I take, I'm taking,

I don't know if, I don't know if the NAC is for it as well. You can tell me. NAC, it can help. It's a good combination. Yeah. I take the NAC and the berberine twice a day and I haven't had it, but that's like, I'm 52 and I'm on no prescription medicine at all. Like no, well, okay. Stuff you do, yes. But like, I don't take any blood thinners. I don't take any heart medicine. I don't take collateral strong medicine. I don't take any of that stuff. It's more supplemental. I'm just on supplements. That's it. Yeah. yeah that's just it so what are some things that you see that people are on medications for that you genuinely feel they could probably and again talk to your doctor don't go kill yourself based on what i'm

saying but what are some things you see that are standard medications a lot of people take that with some supplements that are out there they could probably make a difference in it yeah so so you know when you're looking at medications that people are taking that, you know, a lot of these allopathic physicians are prescribing, you know, nonstop, you got blood pressure medications, you got different statins, right? You got cholesterol medications. And a lot of this stuff, if you just take a few steps to change your lifestyle, you can avoid taking a lot of these medications. And these medications, you got to understand what you're doing is you're changing something in your body chemically. Yeah.

Right. By introducing that medication. So when you do that, it causes a whole nother set of issues to develop. And that's what people kind of miss out on. And a lot of physicians in the allopath that's what people kind of miss out on. And a lot of physicians in the allopathic world, they don't speak about it. They don't speak about how this will actually disrupt your body's biochemistry and cause a whole nother flow of issues as well. Well, I think now there's talk that the cholesterol medicine does have an influencing feature towards dementia later in life. If that's's a problem, like if you're prone to dementia or Alzheimer's

and you start taking like Lipitor, it's going to accelerate things for you. It's in all reality, it's basically introducing a new toxin into your body. Well, you're pulling levers. So like you pull this one down and it might, when you pull this lever, another one somewhere else is going to go up. And that's how it works. So when I get my blood, so say i get blood work down what are some things again we talked about the d which is fine but in men obviously we'll talk about that specifically because that's me anyway by the definition that we currently go by in america i guess that's me um so like the trt

stuff how many of your clients like what age do you see that a lot of men are starting to need that trt so interesting question right and one of the things that we're seeing is when it comes to hormone optimization and looking at people's hormone levels specifically men we're starting to see men come in at a younger age with hormone issues right and that's not good that means there's stuff in our environment that's causing that or things that you're ingesting like processed foods processed foods or foods that are injected with hormones that are causing this like back in the day when you go 15 20 years ago and you see a 20 year old come in with low testosterone usually you kind of knew what it was.

It was somebody who was like taking anabolic recreationally and kind of mess themselves up. And then you just got to put them through like a post cycle therapy to boost them back up. But now you got people who they weren't doing bodybuilding, you know, and all of a sudden they're coming in with all kinds of hormone issues. They're coming in with gynecomastia, basically,

you know, breasts that they're growing, you know, from the estrogen levels being so high. So there's stuff out there that's just really affecting people's health. Yeah, man boobs, the official clinical term for that. Yeah, I was going to say something else. I know what you were going to say.

I know what you were going to say. I cleaned it up a little bit for you. It starts with a B. Yeah, we're there. So that's funny um when you do the trt now how do you recommend it being done do you recommend it doing one big dose a week or splitting it up over multiple doses throughout the week so dr willicks you know who is the chief medical officer centogenics he was a big fan of splitting the dose twice a week and the reason being is he didn't like to create big spikes

where you're playing this roller coaster game. You do the big spikes and then you go down and then up, you know, because when you look at like, for example, testosterone sippinate, it has a lifespan of like about seven days. So you could technically inject once a week, but you're getting those big spikes. So you don't want that because remember when you take testosterone, testosterone goes hand in hand with estrogen.

So when your testosterone goes up, your estrogen goes up. And the last thing you want to do is start aromatizing where your estrogen keeps on going too high because then it's going to cause a lot of these issues with the gynecomastia, acne, and everything else. So the problem here is when your testosterone goes up and your estrogen goes up is when your testosterone goes up, right. And your estrogen goes up when your testosterone tanks, your estrogen doesn't take the estrogen stays up there.

So then that's where we're crying at Hallmark commercials. You're just kidding. But then, you know, then at that point, now you're putting, you got to put your patients on aromatized inhibitors, like an astrozole or something to bring the estrogen down. Our goal is to try to stay away from as many pharmaceuticals as possible, try to do things more in a naturopathic, holistic approach. Yeah, I do take an Astrozole once a week.

I do take that. And it's funny when I switch because it's odd because I used to go to a place here in town, right? And when I switched to my new guy that I use, now the stuff comes to my house, which is crazy because I'm the guy that doesn't like needles, terrified of needles. And now I can totally give myself a shot, which to me is still very strange that I can do this.

It's very weird to me that I can do it. So I take a truckload of supplements based on my blood. Get that checked every 90 days. Check everything out. Make sure it's going there. And then I'm on 1,000 milligrams of testosterone, which I split into two shots once a week, 500 milligrams. 100 milligrams?

Whatever it is. One on the syringe. Sam, I'm not a medical professional. I go to the one. No, but I actually go to the five on on the syringe. I don't know. Sam, I'm not a medical professional. I go to the one. No, but I actually go to the five on the big syringe. So whatever that is. So twice a week. Okay.

Yep, yep, yep. So once on this day, once on that day. And then they put me on a peptide called Tesamorelin. Oh, great stuff. I'm on it right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which, dude, okay, you want to think, you want to get over your fear of giving yourself a shot?

Go on that. Because you have to give yourself a shot every day in the damn stomach. In the stomach. Yeah. It's a small little need. It's a little, dude, but it's still a shot. It is. In your stomach every day, which is a little.

How long have you been taking that one? I've been on testamoylin now for about four weeks. Not long. Four weeks. Okay. Four weeks. Once you get to like about three to four months. Yeah.

You'll start to really see it. Really see it. So. Start shredding you. But how long should you cycle on and off of it because i i don't have it in front of me so no so the tesamorelin you can actually be on that one long term just stay on yeah and you actually should be because when you when you look at growth hormone releasing peptides they don't work quickly like that but to get the the results that you're looking for yeah right um so that one is going to be a little bit more long-term tesamorelin that the issue with that is it's not cheap no no it's it's it's not cheap luckily i'm not poor but it's not it's not cheap but the effectiveness of it is fantastic and it's one of the few peptides that is fda approved and it's

commercially available as well so there's a lot of data to back up tesamorelin so doing that yes i'm hoping because yeah you're right it ain't cheap um which is good it was funny flying available as well. So there's a lot of data to back up Tesla Mall. So doing that. Yeah. So I'm hoping, cause yeah, you're right. It ain't cheap, which is good. It was funny flying, you're traveling across Europe. I'm freaking out trying to keep this thing cold. Like it's like everywhere we go, like I gotta keep this cold. Yeah. Trying to freak out, get that done. But yeah, that's kind of my regimen right now. Now we talked a little bit about my office for the start and I thought this was really interesting because I've talked about this on the show, but But yeah, that's kind of my regimen right now. Now, we talked a little bit about my office before this started, and I thought this was really interesting because I've talked about this on the show,

but my wife, 20 years ago, when we randomly just took the 23andMe thing because everybody was, oh, 23andMe. You'll see what your heritage is, blah, blah, blah, whatever it is. See how much German you have in you. Who knows? But we took this thing, and it came back, and she she has four copies of i don't want to butcher it i think it's the ap04

gene or whatever it is it's the same gene that if you just saw christopher helmsworth helmsworth came out and having two copies of this one particular gene indicator is a very high indicator of getting alzheimer's and you know my wife freaked out. And as well, you know, she probably should have. This is a science-based result. It is what it is. And that, 23 and me, 20 years ago, has changed everything that we do or everything she does going forward. And it's been a constant research of, you know, no aluminum in the deodorant and not cooking on aluminum pans and anything she can do to keep heavy metals out of her and taking all of these supplements that

are, you know, from where we're at right now, good for what we're doing. And I take probably in the morning, I probably take 24 pills of supplements. She's probably throughout the course of the day in the forties. She takes a lot of supplements. Um, but you had mentioned that now you guys have, have a test about, uh, some different tests that you can offer folks, uh, to look for things that could cause problems with that. So let's talk about that. Yeah. So one of the things that we do is we're big into toxins. You know, a lot of our doctors, they truly believe that the cause of disease and a lot of the chronic illnesses that we see today is all based off of toxins. You know, things that we get exposed to food, environment, things that we could try to avoid, but we can't get rid of them completely.

So the test that we do, it's actually we send it off germany and that we test for over 900 different toxins like honestly i didn't even know 900 different toxins existed dude everything is trying to kill us everything is trying to everything pretty much right so so this test tests the toxins but it doesn't just test the toxin it'll actually show show the DNA adduct, right, in the gene that it's connected to potentially causing a change in gene expression, right? So, you know, I was saying earlier, you know, there's different genes that your body has that have to be either on or off, right? We have genes in our body that are called tumor suppressing genes that should always be on meaning that if a tumor starts to grow right your gene suppression your suppressing genes

would help suppress that tumor so it doesn't grow become cancerous and you know then you die or something sure so if there's a toxin that turns that gene off then if a tumor starts to develop there's nothing there to stop it there's nothing there to stop it. So same thing with the genes that are responsible for Alzheimer's or Parkinson's. When you get exposed to certain toxins and you're not able to detoxify your body from those toxins, then that's where disease starts to develop. Well, that's the problem with people that develop Alzheimer's is they can't process metals out of their bodies. It eventually builds up to the point where it's, it's an issue,

which is why, if you're wondering why everything has to have no aluminum in it, that's why. Cause my wife with those two genes has an issue processing metals. She's going to be 300 years old. My wife's so healthy. It's crazy. It's nuts.

But, but the point becomes, what are ways you, what are things you think you can avoid to try to avoid getting toxicity in the first place? What would you avoid? So, you know, there's a lot of things that you can avoid. For example, don't drink out of plastic bottles, right?

When you talk about water, try to drink out of glass bottles if you can. There are two people in the studio right now. Both of them have glass bottles of water right now. So he's definitely doing what he preaches, what he says. He's a lot of these. I'm sitting back here with three bottles of plastic killing myself. But, you know, the most importantly, yes, you make certain decisions like at home. You know, if you're going to be heating up food, don't heat it up in plastic.

Right. Heat it up in a glass container or something else. You know, just try to stay away from. So you don't think there's anything. You don't think there's anything such thing as a safe plastic um you know there's like bpa free plastic and stuff but i would try to stay away from plastic because just even if they slap that mark on there like how many times have you seen where people say hey this is organic and then you find out it's not organic the stuff is coming from china or something like that how do you know so the safest route is not not to drink out of plastic

or eat out of plastic try to you know avoid that um other things like you know uh your your home environment how's the air quality is there mold in your air ducts and stuff like you know do your quality control tests at least once a year you know clean it out you know have a nice HIPAA filter you know avoid avoid things like mold and stuff. Those are toxins that can be very toxic to your body. So the thing is, is we can't avoid everything. So most importantly is how do you detoxify your body and how do you enhance your detox pathways? So that's going to be the things that you put into your body, right? I did a liver, I did a very expensive liver detox thing

and it was like i had to drink this i was really expensive it was like 200 and i had to do it every day for like a month and you had to drink this really gross liquid and then eat these charcoal pills do you know what i'm talking about charcoal activated charcoal yeah yes it was gross i don't know if it did anything it works yeah okay then i'll trust you um i was told because i showed you those results earlier about my liver thing and uh my new biohacker guy was like well just do this just to make sure to make sure everything's okay yeah it's fine it's good so so there's a master antioxidant that your body naturally produces and just like anything else as we age it starts to decrease your natural production it's called glutathione so glutathione is the master antioxidant it will detoxify your body and this is something can you

take this is this something you do in an iv with your place or is this something you get pill form so we do the iv ones okay that's going to be a little bit more of the aggressive route right so someone with high liver enzymes have worked with bodybuilders and stuff that you know obviously kind of abuse their body yeah and it's the one thing that brings those liver enzymes down very quickly yeah there's other things that you can do orally you can do glutathione orally they have a liposomal one that uh gets absorbed by the mucous membranes which is pretty good and then we do the intramuscular injection ones as well too but if you want to go more the aggressive dose there's you know a lot of. But if you want to go more of the aggressive dose,

there's a lot of IV clinics that offer it. Very cool. What is the number one IV thing that you guys are giving people at your clinics? So it would be more of like the wellness pack. You know, the wellness pack consists of all the different B vitamins, different minerals that your body needs.

You know, your body has 35 vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that it utilizes for it to function on a day-to-day basis. So that's going to be more on the wellness side. People are not doing it because they're sick. They're doing it more to just maintain their health. Preventive. Yeah, preventive.

Right, which is the same reason you take supplements every day. Right. What supplements do you take every day? Let's hear it. All right, so I'm big into cognitive health. Okay, yeah. I want my brain to be sharp as a stone. Do you take nootropins?

I have sort of nootropics that I take. So the main one that I take, it's called a synapsins nasal spray. Synapsins nasal. I'm going to read some back. I was going to take notes, but I'll listen back to this later. Synapsins nasal spray. Okay. And the way I found out about this nasal spray was Dr. Willicks was the chief medical officer from cenogenics and i saw him prescribing this to a lot of very

like affluent ceos so i'm like i asked him i'll say doc what is this what are you prescribing i you don't want to know no i want to know because i know who these guys are yeah i know what you're doing the ballers are getting it i want yeah so i well, if I tell you, you got to take it. I said, all right. Write the prescription. So what it is, synapses has NR, which NR is a precursor to NAD. So it opens up the pathways. Okay. It has RG3, which is the most potent extract of ginseng.

It's pharmaceutical grade. Okay. And then it has the methylated version of B12. So when I first took it, this was about five five years ago and i take it every single morning when i first took it everything was in high definition i could hear better see better speak better everything was like on point wow yeah absolute i'm in yeah sign me up i'm in sign me up sign me up so i do that i'm big into doing my bulletproof coffee um i do the formula the bulletproof yeah where i put the carry gold uh grass-fed butter my wife does the same thing i

put the heavy whipping cream no sugar you know and then i put uh dave asprey's bulletproof brain octane oil it's that mct oil and that also gets this my brain firing so i start off my day with that wired in with that wired in with that wired in with that yeah and then i got my other stuff i did my nad yeah i do i do the nid i do a i do a uh what's it called uh glucosamine glucosamine maybe is that it with good wait no not glucosamine that's on days i left um i do take that this is um and my see i needed some spray today man i'm scrambling i normally don't do pod two podcasts in a day this is my second one for today so you're getting you're getting the remainder of what i got so um no i

take the nad the powder on the under the tongue oh you do the powder one we do the powder one under the tongue and then we do i cannot remember it'll come to me in a minute there's something that goes with that that we take really and i don't remember what it is I don't know something we'll figure it out no but the good news is the reason I don't it's not that I'm dumb or I'm fried today it's that we started doing the the packages every day because we take so many supplements right so some people like meal prep like I peel I pill prep we've got like the the packages with the little vacuum seal them okay so like literally I can just grab a bag of stuff instead of 50 bottles every morning and do that so now everything's prepped out so that's the way to do it though i love it so like that preparation that that

that makes you successful versus not successful when it comes to your health and wellness yeah being able to prep because at that point now it becomes easier you just grab it you know versus having to open up every single bottle and this and then measure it out like you got to get to a point where you're like not thinking about it yeah you know i just grabbed the packs now i don't i don't i literally don't even think about it i've done that i've portioned out everything i portioned out the green drink powder i portioned out the even though it'd be too easy it'd be easy just grab a scoop of it i still like it little bags because when i travel i can just grab a green drink pre-workout here, here's the pills, here's the afternoon pills, and I'm gone. We were just in Europe.

I had one giant freezer Ziploc bag that was just full of little individual packs, which got me some looks at customs. Especially if you've got another one that's got syringes in it and vials. It's like, promise I have a prescription for all of this stuff. It's fine. This is just whatever. But yeah, it'll get you some looks. I'm always like, man, it's just going to be one day TSA'll get you some looks i'm always like man it's just

gonna be one day tsa is gonna come and pull me off the airplane yeah you know it's like what is all this stuff well i didn't i had no idea i had no clue like like what was gonna happen i didn't know if this was like legal in like some of the countries we were going to i'm like i could wind up in like a freaking italian jail i don don't know what's going to happen. I'm just cruising around. But no, no problems at all. It was easy. No problems whatsoever. So the book, when you wrote this,

who are you really trying to talk to with this thing? Is it just everybody? Was there a specific person? So yes, we can talk to everybody. So my primary goal behind that book is there's a lot of people in the medical field that are trying to leave the allopathic world that are just sick and tired of working in the ER, you know, the, the day-to-day machine that they become working in traditional medicine. And a lot of them really want to take this more naturopathic holistic approach to someone's health versus what we're so used to, which is more

sick care. Yeah. Right. So ours, ours is not sick care. It's well care. It's what we focus on. So there is, you know, like any business, there's a succeeding process. There's a lot of challenges that you're going to be met with. So for me, it was putting this book together with all of these sharp minds that started, you know, from scratch. All of this. All of them in the book. So I want people that want to make that change, that commitment, that switch from the allopathic world to understand that it's going to be okay. Yeah. You're going to go through these growing pains.

And this is how these group of individuals did it. Because this comes off kind of like tools for Titans for personal health. Like Tim Ferriss never claimed tools for Titans was all him. This is input from everybody. From everybody. From everybody on what they need to do. All right, well, let's do this because I always like to talk about this and the three levels of what you can do, right? Because I got people listening to this are like, well, this all sounds really expensive. So let's talk about level one. Here I am level one. I'm just, I'm on the come up. Maybe I'm grinding. Maybe I don't have a lot of extra money. What are some things I can do right now at that level one where I don't have the money to go

to Synergetics, maybe even the level to go to your clinic, maybe level to go to those things. What are some things I need to be doing right now at level one to do my health? All right. Number one, it's free. You ready for it? Yeah, here it is. Education. Educate yourself. There's tons of good information that you can just find online by all of the big biohackers.

Not difficult to find. And just start educating yourself. Live a more healthy life, right? Avoid certain things, you know, intake, other healthy things, what you're putting into your body, what you eat every single day, you know, what are you eating? So that's the first step. The first step is completely free. All you got to do is make the commitment to just start learning, learning how to be healthy. It seems like now you talk about intake right there for all our level one folks it seems like it's a little bit of a segue but it seems

like now more than i've ever seen alcohol is really getting bashed is putting alcohol in your body is a straight poison it is it's a toxic yeah it's an and i've just never seen it get bashed the way that it seems to be getting bashed right now. Yeah. Do you think that, like, if you look at, like, my kids right now who are 14 and 16, but if you were to ask them, like, when are you going to start smoking cigarettes, they'd be like, are you out of your fucking mind? Like, the idea for them of smoking cigarettes is so ridiculously foreign,

even though, like, my wife's mother smokes like a damn chimney so they saw that but the idea of them picking that habit up is so ridiculous right because of how bad it is for you do you think in 30 years time kids will look at alcohol the same way i think so and the reason why i feel i actually that had that mindset about that not too long ago because i've been seeing a lot of the stuff that you've been seeing that you're commenting on. And now you'll actually see like in Miami, people will have on a Saturday, a big house party at a mansion, but it's all health and wellness, like biohacking. There's like cold plunge, there's music, there's a DJ, but there's no alcohol. Even us, we're doing it. We're doing wellness on the water where people have the ability to rent out a big yacht that we partnered up with, huge yacht.

And we'll have a chef on the yacht cooking healthy food, making all kinds of healthy juices. Once we get to the sandbar, there's kayaks. So you're doing extracurricular activities that are good for your health. You're moving your body. We got yoga, massage therapy, all kinds of stuff on the yacht so what people are doing is they're trying to figure out things to do that doesn't that don't consist of all of these bad habits that are going to affect your health negatively yeah because you know like after a day of drinking how do you feel the next terrible oh there's a reason for that yeah it's because it's those toxins have caused certain deficiencies. You depleted your body of electrolytes, of hydration, things that are essential for your body.

So why not do things that are fun that you can still socialize and enjoy your time with your friends and family and everything else? That doesn't put that negative effect on your body. Well, I have a feeling, too, that what's made it easier for alcohol to get a bad rep is the fact with, with cannabis becoming so mainstream acceptable as it is. I mean, I remember when the dispensaries first came to Vegas, right. Coincided with a large casino getting remodeled here in town and they spent a gazillion dollars on this nightclub and they open it. And this is all within, I mean, around the same time as the dispensaries opening, it all happened same time they opened this giant nightclub and they're paying these they're playing paying these acts like a million dollars a night to come do their

thing at this at this nightclub and i knew people that worked there and they were like we're in deep shit and it was like why it was like because people aren't buying drinks oh wow they're coming in here with edibles that they're buying at the dispensary and we're making a cover charge and that's it. Like we're, this is causing a problem. And I think, I think that having that coincide with some of this stuff is a, is a thing. Cause it's funny. Cause I know that, you know, and I don't want to say which one I want to say who, cause

I don't know if they want this out there, but let's just say there's a well-known, there's a couple of well-known fitness people that have programs that involve not drinking alcohol. And I know that those people smoke weed constantly. Yeah. And you know, what you'll see too, and a lot of wellness people do it, they'll microdose shrooms. Yeah. Well, I think that too, i think that becoming more mainstream now getting legalized in washington i think you're going to continue to see that being legalized that's the next as they call it the green industry i know some people in that industry yeah um that would never drink alcohol right but have no issue taking a very and some of these are incredibly this is not like a hippie in the back of a grateful dead bust these are seriously

processed uh you know mushroom gummies that they they've they've built companies around that are that are legit expensive well very well done products oh yeah so i've had a lot of conversations about it i was gonna say because so obviously that stuff has less of effect on your body long-term toxin than there's a lot of actual there's a lot of benefits to the shrooms yeah a lot i mean when you talk about creativity about your brain firing off on you know in different ways where you cut you there's just we could go into some deep conversations about oh dude microdusting mushrooms i mean you'll never be more focused on what you're working on than when you're doing that.

Incredibly focused. I am a guy that, look, I'm a guy that when I meet very, very successful people, I tend to try to pick their brains about how they got where they are and what's important to them. And I was just talking a minute ago on the last podcast we did, I talked about Ari Rastegar, who is a guy that I know, they call him the Oracle of Austin. Built $8 billion portfolio in like a handful of years. Guy's really, really really really good and just in talking to him you know one of the biggest and he's he's they did an article on him and gq for biohacking like what is your personal thing he's like you

like we're talking about this he's fucking crazy about it like he gets his blood checked like once every like 10 days or some crazy thing he's like like, I have the blood of a 20 year old. I'll show you my blood right now. He takes a hundred supplements a day. And I, and I asked him at one point, I said, what's, what has the biggest effect on my health? He said, bar none, two things, transcendental meditation. So do that.

And then hyperbaric chambers. Oh, nice. 2.6. So obviously TM is a whole nother story. I did go do that. That was an interesting kind of deal. That's has a billion dollars worth of assets tells me do something. story. I did go do that. That was an interesting kind of deal. Guys, has a billion dollars worth of assets, tells me to do something, I'm going to go do it.

But also, I've heard from very well-known people that are good, like they're the microdose shrooms. Like some of the most successful CEOs that you know of, companies that you know of, do this every day. So listen, I haven't spoke about it publicly and I have no problem doing so because of the field I'm in. I microdose shoes.

Yeah. Right. So, you know, you, now you got me on your podcast. Yeah, there you go. And, um, some of the most creative things that I've come up with in business and some of the top strategies that I've developed were on shoes. Yeah. And it's unbelievable the creativity that comes out of my mind when i microdose well i think that just the rise and like ayahuasca and all of that stuff and that that seeker's mentality right

i don't know if i could do that that's a little out there man i'm not yeah i mean because i got a few people that i know and one of my business mentors has done it and you start hearing about the out-of-body experience and the purging. I'm not there yet. So here's my thing, dude. You got two choices with that stuff. You get to go to Peru in the jungles with some little shaman dude is going to whip this up. Or what's worse is some backyard hippie is going to rip it up in Temecula.

That doesn't sound good to me either, right? I'm like, both of these scenarios seem a little suspect. But I tell you, I know a lot of shamans. Dr. Willicks was a shaman also. He actually studied in Peru, actually, with the natives in Peru. There you go. And he was big into the ayahuasca. And you would hear some of the people, their experience going through it,

their life completely changed after that in a completely changed. Yeah. Yeah. In a positive way. Yeah. I I've never heard anybody. Now, of course, who's going to tell you the bad story, right? This happened in my life completely fell apart. Nobody's like, I've never heard that story, but yeah, I've never heard anybody say that they've gone and done that as a way to do this. And it's gone and their life has not gone profoundly better. It just hasn't. So let's talk about level two. All right. So level one, do ayahuasca. No, don't do that. I'm just kidding. We're kidding. No, educate yourself and just do what you can. Level two, which is where I can afford to spend some stuff on some services. Obviously, maybe not the most

expensive of the stuff. What would probably be your level two? I mean, let's talk about buying store-bought because I know that there's a big debate within some of the folks that do this about buying your supplements from a place like Amazon and buying the pharmaceutical grade supplements. What says you about the importance of that? So the level two, where I'm going to go with the level two is, you know, education was level one. Level two is getting all of your personal health data, right? Quantifiable data that you can now understand your body. And yes, there can be an expense to that and you can get very, very expensive running off. Level two, we got some money for this. We got money.

Right. So we got money for level two. two so at minimum you need to do a comprehensive blood analysis understand what your deficiencies are and how you your body can be better right getting other data points uh doing a body composition analysis getting on a dexa skin so you can see what your body's made up of how much visceral fat you have how much adipose fat you have how much lean muscle you have so then at least you have a starting point a basis before you even start your health journey right so so the diagnostics and your personal health data is important um having an apple watch a whoop or or like an aura ring i wear my aura ring wherever i go on the fitbit or the fitbit right so having that data to actually have you know uh quantifiable data of what's happening with your body on a day-to-day basis understand

your sleep patterns you know like how how deep you go into your sleep your REM cycle and everything else for me that's level two is spend the money to figure out what you need because now when you get that data you know hey you're not sleeping well. OK, well, we can do things that don't cost any money to fix our sleep. Maybe, you know, you're not in the right environment. Maybe you need to do some meditation before you go to sleep or something. Right. If you have certain deficiencies, maybe it's just eating a little bit healthier, avoiding things like alcohol or whatever. If your liver enzymes are high. So, you know, that would be level two for me is spend your money on that.

You know, I had an interesting philosophy when I was in Europe, because even though I did catch COVID and I had COVID the last part of the trip, sorry, if you were around me in London and now you're sick, my bad. I didn't know I had it until I got back. But anyway, how much do you think your environment of where you live right being walkable affects your overall health and the reason i say that is because like we live here in las vegas where you can't wait you incinerate if you walk outside it's 118 degrees today right so literally anywhere you go you're going in a car for the most part right like my my steps i get out a day or running laps in this office. And

then on a treadmill, that's where I get, that's where I get my, my mileage. But here I am in Europe every day when I have COVID putting up 21, 22,000 steps a day every day, because everywhere we were is immensely walkable. So I think you look at communities like, I know like New York city where you don't get a car, you're on your you take the train you're just you're walking you go everywhere on foot how much do you think being in a walkable environment like that is beneficial to your health huge it's extremely beneficial you have to move your body yeah you have to right it's statistically proven right that if you do at least 10,000 steps a day, you don't even have to go to the gym.

What? But how many people actually do 10,000 steps? Well, but you also can't 10,000 step your way out of a bad diet. You can't either. Yeah. That's my problem. I think sometimes is I try to step myself out of a bad diet, but you can't. You still got to work.

No, I love that. That's my goal every day is 10,000 steps. On days when I lift is 10,000. On days when I don't, it's 12,000. You know, there's other stuff that's statistically proven. A person who exercises, right, who still has bad habits, smokes and drinks, will outlive a person who doesn't have those bad habits,

who doesn't exercise. So you're saying smoke on the treadmill? Absolutely not. Absolutely not. No, you're saying. No, I get it. No, I get it. I get it.

Somebody's right now going, I knew I was right. I knew it, but turn this thing up to two. I knew I was right. As long as I'm on the treadmill, I can do whatever I want. That's what he said. They'll be breathing very quickly, so that's going to be instead of one pack a day of pipe yeah right burning to those cigarettes breathing faster exactly so that's level two let's go to level three so so we went from we couldn't we had to stay home because we didn't couldn't go to the club now we went to the club but we can just go to the club now let's get some

bottle service yep spend a little more money what are we doing so now we're spending money yeah now we're spending so now you're spending money. Yeah, now we're spending money. So now you're spending money on different services and modalities in the biohacking world. You know, you're getting memberships at some of these biohacking clinics. You're going into the hyperbaric chamber. You're doing the infrared sauna. You're building out a wellness side of your house. I have that.

You got the cold plunge. You got the infrared sauna. I can't do it. I can't do the cold plunge. I have it. You got the cold plunge. You got the infrared sauna. I can't do it. I can't do the cold plunge. I have it in my house. I have the Ewok training set up. Oh, nice. I have an oxygen machine.

I have the giant oxygen bag on the wall. So I have that. I have an infrared sauna. I have the red light panels. Awesome. So I have a couple of those. I have the grounding mat. My wife is a huge grounder.

PMF. PMF, yes, Matt, that big one. So we have that. So I have that whole superhuman protocol thing. I have all of that. But I can't do the cold plunge, dude. It's tough. Bro, everybody's like, well, see if you can like it. Just turn your shower on as cold as it goes and stand there for a minute.

I'm like, yeah, good. No, I'm done. No, I don't like the cold. Yeah. I grew up in Wisconsin. Oh, gosh. Yeah, cold is not my friend. I live in Florida now. good no i'm done no i listen i don't i don't like the cold yeah i grew up in wisconsin oh gosh yeah cold is not my friend i live in florida now no i would be the dude that would spend eight thousand dollars on a cold plunge and it would sit there like you know the people that buy like the exercise

machine it becomes the clothes hanger yeah the cold plunge would just be nothing it'd be like we put beer in it or something i don't even know a little bit yeah well it's cold already so you might as well just put the beer i don't get it dude that one that one i'm when the whole went off that you blew up too that's caused the cold cold plunge thing that went off guy um yeah i don't i don't i can't do it i respect the hell out of people that can yeah i do but that is are you a cold plunger i've done it i don't have a cold plunge you're not a doer you've done it i'm not a doer at that level i do a lot of other things when it comes to the biohacking world what do you do what you what's your routine so infrared for sure i have the pemf i use a technology called pulse um you know all of my supplements is where it's at for me yeah um how i what i put into my body you know

the way i eat you know i stay away from five different things completely what's that oh let's hear that oh stop that's good so see he gloss over it. Here's the gold. Let me just gloss over it real quick. What are the five things you should stay away from? So these five things, all right, if you haven't done this, do it for 90 days. Challenge yourself to do it for 90 days. Dr. Willicks was really big on this and he wrote about it in all his books. And these five things, you will change your health. You will reduce inflammation in your body and things will just change. All right. Five things.

Rice, potatoes, bread, pasta, and alcohol. Anything else, you can have it. You can season it up however you want it. Those five things you have to avoid brown rice avoid brown rice shoot but you can do cauliflower rice you can do right rice which is made out of vegetables yeah with pasta you could do chickpea pasta you could do lentil pasta right uh you can even have pizza made out of cauliflower cauliflower crust pizza or chickpea pasta pizza um bread you can have sprouted bread like ezekiel bread so it's not like you're just avoiding it

completely but you know dr willicks would actually say that those five things are not even for human consumption go back to the caveman days what do you eat pasta if you can't even cook it what do you eat rice if you can't even cook it? Would you eat rice if you can't even cook it? I mean, considering we just got back from Rome and I ate at Alfredo's, it's really hard to say no. Listen, I think before you're going to commit to this, you should go to Alfredo's in Rome and eat there because, holy shit, it was magical.

But no, I'm just kidding. No, you should stay away from pasta. It's terrible. What am I talking about? So far, I got you smoking on a treadmill and eating cheesy pasta in Rome. This is not a good health podcast so far today. Don't listen to me. Listen to the expert.

That's why I've got you here. So those five things, because all of them spike blood sugar like crazy, yes? They do. They all cause inflammation, right? See, this is the thing. With those five things, we manipulate things so they can taste good and be edible, right? I could take a sheet of paper and I can go ahead and bread it and season it and fry it and you'll eat it and you'll say this tastes good.

Doesn't mean that it has any nutritional value and it doesn't mean that it's good. I mean, are we going tempura? You're going to do, or you can do like a, what kind of batter are we talking about? I'm Dominican,

You know, like we put stuff in it, so it tastes good. But you remove those five things and you'll see your life and your health change completely.
