We're back, y'all. We've got, this is a webinar replay. So why should you listen to a webinar
in the first place? And why are you replaying it here on the podcast? Two valuable questions.
We were tasked with handling, doing a webinar in a different way, rather than, you know,
the story of living on mom's couch for 30 minutes and five minutes of
something valuable and then 30, 40 minutes on what they're selling. We had to invert that. So
basically you get a 15 minute background of what I call my three lives. I did a little post on
Instagram about this, but this is obviously in long form, 90 minutes, much more detailed than
that. I try to spend about five minutes in each segment to paint the broad spectrum of how I've
lived and what has forced me to change my life and what I really consider to be health
and where I'm at now. So that's the first chunk. And then I talked a bit to the people directly
on this call who are meant to take
this program. What is the program? Is the program I've been telling you about physically fit from
fit for service is the program I'll be teaching this whole year. That is the catch. If there is
one trying to get people to sign up for the class and telling people about that class. So a bit on
me. And then the reason you should listen to this podcast for anyone is we deep dive energy. Now,
I've just had Dr. Jack Cruz on the podcast. I've had many other experts in the field on the podcast.
Jack would consider himself the expert on the podcast, and that's fine. I think he is,
as I mentioned on this webinar, I think he's right in that light is the most important thing
we should be thinking about when we think about mitochondrial health
and just health in general.
And this, of course, doesn't just come from Jack's opinion.
This comes from books like John Ott's Health and Light
and The Body Electric by Robert O. Becker.
Two fantastic books he recommends
that I highly fucking recommend people read
that will change what you think of the sun.
It'll change what you think of indoor lighting. It'll change what you think of blue blockers and
all of it really. Uh, it's unfortunate that the biohacking community and, uh, you know,
let me just say it. Dorks like Dave Asprey have been wearing these glasses for a long time and
they make it unattractive to people who don't want to look like that. That said, there's a purpose behind it. And
I think if we understand the biggest purpose is not that we could biohack our way in us waking
up at 3 a.m. each day and fucking wear these glasses like everything's going to be fine.
Fuck no. Live ancestrally still. Be outside as much as possible. And maximum dose of sunlight,
not minimum effective dose, maximum dose without going over.
We can't overdose on water. We can overdose on a whole bunch of shit, but when we get adequate sun,
that's retraining the body every single day on how to be. It's the daily download,
the light code downloads, if you will, if you're into spiritual shit.
Light code downloads are literally the fucking downloads you get when you go out in the sun and take your shirt off. Plain and simple, when it hits your eyes,
without eyeglasses, without sunglasses, good reason for that. So anyways, the bulk of what
I'm going to talk about today is how to increase energy. And that is, you know, it's based on
mitochondrial understanding and it's based on an ancestral standing, which means it's going to come from a multitude of arenas. Some of what I believe differs from Jack, right? We know that from the
podcast. If you're able to listen to that one, I know it was tough with him being in the wind,
but I have a firm understanding of the importance of diet. I have a firm understanding of the
importance of movement in all four doctors. The last four doctors you'll ever need by Paul Cech explains it perfectly.
Light is a component.
It is absolutely a massive component
and maybe the single greatest component,
but the others are not to be fucked with either.
Food is either food or poison.
What you're drinking is medicine or poison.
What kind of light you're around most of the day
is medicine or poison.
Same is true.
So listen to this podcast today
because all of that is given out.
It's a lecture.
For the bulk of this is just a lecture
on how to increase energy.
And we all need that.
One of the comments that I make
on why I think people should start
if you're jumping into fit for service
for the first time with the physical
is because it's the foundation of everything else.
If you want to be mentally fit and you're injured
and you can't get your mind right because you're always in pain, you need to start with the
physical. If you want a relationship and you're not the person you know you can be because you're
fat, sick, and nearly dead, or unable to be active, unable to go for a hike, unable to go
out to the ocean and do things with another partner, it's a good idea you start with
physical and even emotional intelligence. I am a far better person. I know this isn't uniform for
everybody, but I'm a far better person when it comes to parenting if I've taken care of myself
physically first. Meaning, if I'm able to move my body and sweat a bit and be outside, even just a walk in nature will calm me
and reset me in a way that allows me to be a better father. It allows me to be a better husband.
And that's how I fill my cup each day. It's a must have. And I highly recommend people start
to take care of themselves in that way so they can be better for others. If I wish to be fit
for service to serve others, I must serve myself first. Otherwise it's an unsustainable practice.
So at the end here,
we're going to deep dive what I think physically fit means,
which is really about health.
Because fitness to me, I think is,
I just don't give a fuck.
You know, if you want to hit the steel mace
or the kettlebell, cool.
If you want to hit a heavy bag, cool.
Do it outside.
If you're into hiking, yoga, Pilates, cool.
Those are all your movement
practices and having a variety of those will be best, but that's really not the end all be all
around health. And it's certainly not the end all be all around being physically fit. So
we deep dive that on this. I'll get into it further. You know, a lot of people heard about
this webinar. A lot of you didn't. That's one of the reasons I'm launching it here.
And you know, I've been talking about fit for service and what we're changing and what we're doing in the ad read each week and the intro each everything. If you're starting a company, if you're an entrepreneur, if you're a fucking day trader, if you're a house cleaner, no matter what you're doing to pay the bills, you need energy for that. And by increasing systemic energy via
the mitochondria, we increase our output capabilities. We increase the max effort.
We increase our endurance, our mental endurance, our ability to endure anything life throws at us.
And that is super important, no matter what the goal is. So enjoy this podcast, share it far and
wide. Share it with a friend who has similar goals, somebody who's trying to get better.
Share it with somebody who you maybe know has said, this is the gear I'm going to be in my
best shape in my life. This is the year I take care of my body. This is the year I finally put
all the pieces together. Share this with them. Also support our sponsors. They make this show fiscally possible.
Many of which have been with me for a very long time, which I really appreciate these
longstanding sponsors. And the new ones have been great too. Really, they have.
Happyhippo.com slash KKP is where you'll find the very best Kratom on all of the planet. I
absolutely love Kratom. It is a plant medicine.
There's no two ways about that.
One of the things that I fell in love with it
was the fact that it would give me a euphoria
with no comedown,
meaning I would feel different,
have an altered state of consciousness
in a positive way
and receive no ill negative effects on the backend.
That's pretty remarkable
when you consider other so-called medicines out there.
Kratom really stands alone in that category. The other thing that I love about it, and this is
strain specific, meaning there's a wide variety of these Kratoms that you can get and, you know,
how it's cultivated, same thing, no different from other plant medicines. You know, you've got
the white Mangda, the red Mangda, you've got stuff from Bali, Indonesia, Thailand. It's grown all
over Southeast Asia. The truth is, you know, I can tell you what my favorites are. Like red typically
is more body and, you know, yellow sunshine is going to be more heady. We'd have no way of
knowing that because each of us has a different microbiome and a different neurochemistry.
So it's not going to transfer as a one-to-one. That said, if you start in an equals one,
if you start a relationship with this to fine tune
and you start slow and low and work your way up,
you will find a dose that's right for you.
And one of the things that I love about this
that makes it completely unique
from any other plant medicine
is I can feel better in my body.
I can have an uplifted mood
and it doesn't impact me mentally whatsoever.
I've done this in a number of different ways where I've
practiced archery and things like that, where I am absolutely dialed in and nothing else seems to do
that. Nothing else seems to quiet the monkey mind and tune me in than the way Kratom does. And it's
really fantastic. So check it out for yourself. Happyhippo.com slash KKP. That's H-A-P-P-Y-H-I-P-P-O.com slash KKP.

With Happy Hippo, you're getting a product that's been sterilized of pathogens,
tested for impurities and heavy metals, and sold with a guarantee.
We stand by our products so you can sleep soundly,
knowing exactly what is and isn't in your kratom.
Love these guys.
Love what they're doing.
Again, I just, I feel better.
This is something that absolutely makes me
tapped in in a different way.
I feel the mind muscle connection tune in
when I'm doing yoga or mobility work and stretching.
When I'm on kratom,
I can actually feel my body open up through breath
and start to get into deeper and deeper levels.
And it's not numbing. It's not bypassing.
It's actually allowing me to feel where the tightness is and communicate with
that in a way that allows my body to open and expand and increase range
ability, range of motion.
So many cool uses for this stuff no matter what you're doing.
So build a relationship with it and you will enjoy it the same way I do.

Organifi.com slash KKP. Remember to use code KKP for 20% off everything in the store.
Normally I talk about the Sunrise to Sunset kit and how awesome the red, green, and gold juices
are. But today we're going to focus on their new product, Shilajit gummies. These are sourced directly from the Himalayas, home of the world's finest Shilajit,
and heavily tested for metals. I still love how that's written. You got to heavily test
for the heavy metals. It's rich in antioxidants that can help fight free radicals. Again,
we're talking energy here. This is super important. Can support gut health and
nourish the digestive tract by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria. This is good. We know if we want the mental game to improve, we got to improve the gut.
Improves the permeability of cell membranes and helps to better absorb and enhance nutrient
absorption. Again, systemically improving the body. It can support detoxification,
can enhance energy levels and overall vitality, and it has anti-inflammatory properties.
What you've heard of Shilajit is true. Whether you've taken enough
of it or had a good enough source to feel that, that's on you. Not all Shilajit is created equal,
but I promise you, all the clout and the tout and everything else that you've heard about Shilajit
is 100% true. If you get a great source like what Organifi has, you'll notice this for yourself.
It's a whole different ballgame. It supports healthy testosterone levels in men and women, supports bone and muscle health,
aids in cellular energy and mitochondrial health, cellular ATP. That's exactly what I'll be talking
about here. And decreases fatigue. Just take two cummies once or twice per day. Get it at

for 20 off everything in the store we're also brought to you today by one of the longest
sponsors we've ever had lucy.co that's l-u-c-y dot c-o they've got some really cool new shit coming
out if you don't like pouches uh because the nicotine doesn't hit immediately and neither
does the flavor the geniuses at lucy came up with a brilliant way to fix both those problems. They put a mini liquid capsule inside of each
breaker's pouch. Here's what you do. You grab a breaker's pouch and break the capsule. Yes,
with your teeth. It really makes a satisfying pop. Put it in your lip and enjoy the immediate
nicotine and flavor release. Nobody's doing anything like this except for Lucy. It's a new
kind of pouch technology and it's only available from Lucy. No more sandpaper pouches
drying out your mouth. No more weak flavors that don't last. Breakers are different. They've got
breakers in four or eight megs, 100% pure nicotine and six delicious flavors. The thing that I've
gone to, because I like a little bit more heavy duty from lucy.co is the pouches six pack in 12
milligram. These guys are often 12 milligram now. I just get cinnamon,
call me old school, but cinnamon pouches at 12 megs seem to do the trick for me.
And what's great is you can find what's right for you. If you're new to this, start with two milligrams, plain and simple. That's where I started. I've worked my way up from there.
And I've spoken at length about the benefits of nicotine as a nootropic
on many different podcasts. Uh, this stuff is really incredible and it stacks with caffeine.
It stacks with mitochondrial enhancers. It stacks with methylene blue. It stacks with damn near
everything. Uh, nicotine is truly one of nature's gifts. Don't take my word for it. Try it for
yourself. Break up your dusty gas station pouches and go to lucy.co slash KKP

Lucy offers free shipping
and has a 30-day refund policy if you change your mind.
That's lucy.co and use code KKP to get 20% off

And here comes the fine print.
Lucy products are only for adults of legal age,
and every order is age verified.
Warning, this product contains nicotine.
Nicotine is an addictive chemical.
All right, last but not least,
Paleo Valley has been one of the longest sponsors
of this podcast running.
Paleo Valley's 100% grass-fed bone broth protein
is a unique collagen-rich protein powder
made from old-fashioned bone broth.
They make 100% grass-fed bone broth protein the same way you would
by slowly simmering 100% grass-fed beef bones
to make a nutrient-dense, collagen-rich broth.
We then gently dry the broth to form an odorless, flavorless powder
that dissolves easily.
It makes eating bone broth simple and convenient.
What are the benefits of bone broth?
Bone broth has been hailed as a
healing superfood for centuries, and modern science can explain why humble broth is so powerful.
What makes broth so amazing is its collagen content. Collagen is the most abundant protein
molecule in your body. Found in significant amounts in your skin, muscles, bones, blood
vessels, tendons, joints, and your digestive system, age slows down the body's natural
production of collagen,
but research suggests that consuming supplemental collagens, such as in bone broth,
can actually stimulate the body to make more of its own collagen. Collagen itself is made up of amino acids, including glycine, proline, tyrosine, and these amino acids themselves have many benefits
as well. Here are just some of the benefits. It eases arthritis symptoms and supports joint health.
In one study, adults who supplemented with two grams of collagen per day
had significantly less pain in just 70 days.
It improves skin health and reduces the appearance of wrinkles.
A study of 69 women who supplemented with collagen daily for eight weeks
had a significant increase in skin elasticity.
Another study found that the same amount of time in collagen supplementation
resulted in improved skin hydration and decreased wrinkles.
It increases hair growth.
This is great if you're not bald like me
and have to shave your fucking head every two days,
but it does increase hair growth.
I have to shave, it doesn't bring my hair back,
but it most certainly increases hair growth.
In a study of 15 women with thinning hair,
supplementing with collagen for six months
led to significant improvement in scalp coverage,
texture, shine, and volume. And probably a big one here especially for women is it helps increase bone
density in one study women supplemented with either combined calcium and collagen or just calcium
after one year the women taking the combined calcium and collagen supplement had lower blood
levels of proteins that stimulate bone deterioration than those who only took calcium.
It aids in blood sugar regulation, helps prevent heart disease, supports gut health. The list goes
on and on. And I can promise you, one of my favorite things about this, especially for your
kids, is it promotes better sleep. Research has shown that a three gram dose of glycine improves
sleep by lowering body temperature and boosting serotonin levels, which is a key precursor to melatonin,
all without causing daytime drowsiness. This is the shit. Each serving of 100% grass-fed
bone broth protein contains 15 grams of collagen and 3.4 grams of glycine, exactly what you need
to sleep better. And it is awesome for kids. They have a chocolate protein powder that I've
been telling you about, bone broth protein Powder, that I mix with a little slightly warmed raw milk and a little whisker. It's incredible. It's the family's
go-to. It's hot chocolate and it's the best hot chocolate you'd ever put in your body or your
children. Check it all out, paleovalley.com. Use code Kyle, K-Y-L-E, for 15% off everything in the
store. That's P-A-L-E-O-V-A-L-L-E-Y.com and code Kyle for 15% off. And finally, without further
ado, the webinar you've been waiting for. Let me know what you think at Living With The Kingsburys.
Don't write me a DM. Just put it in one of our posts or you can put it in the big ass post that
I did. Just start writing in there. Hey man, love the webinar. Where can I learn more? What not?
We'll link to fitforservice.com in the show notes. You can click that and that'll bring you right to the Physically Fit page. So Jose, throw that in and
hopefully you guys have a better understanding of what we've really been cooking up in the kitchen
and what we're trying to bring the world. Much love to you all. We're going to dive into my
three lives with physical fitness, just in general, my three lives with health, my three lives in life in general. That may be 15,
it may be 20, it may be a little longer. A lot of you've heard these stories before,
if you've listened to my podcast or seen me in person or benefit for service events,
but never really laid out in the thread that we're going to lay these out today.
What does physical fitness mean to me? We're going to talk directly to the 30 people
meant to join this program. That'll be short and brief and to the point, probably less than 10
minutes. And then we're going to get into the core of today, mastering your energy. Earlier,
it was titled Master Your Mitochondria. And then one of my buddies, Clay, said some people forgot
what mitochondria means. And we'll dive into that.
But really, it's just about increasing your energy.
And the truth of it is, when we think about the physical, no matter what we're interested in, we need energy for that. If you're an entrepreneur and you're creating a business, you need energy to do that.
You need energy for the grind.
If you follow Alex Ramosi and you hear him talking about how hard it is when you
really want to grow a business, that takes busting your ass. And that literally takes physical and
mental energy, what you're going to get. As I talk about that, you want a relationship.
Relationships are hard. They take energy. They can notch you. They can grind you down,
especially if you're a parent. Know about that. If you're a parent, write that in the chat. And so all this is the
chunk when we get to stage four of what I'll be teaching today, and this is all free.
So if you rabbit hole this piece alone over the next year, you will change your life forever.
There's no two ways about that. Then we're going to get to the surprise. That'll be really cool surprise and then Q&A is what we'll finish with. So
pretty easy call today. My three lots. So we're going to go through a few slides here.
That pic on the left was when I was 268 pounds at Arizona State my senior year.
You can see I looked kind of doped up and was a lot of puffiness and not tan oddly enough even
though I was living in Arizona living in Arizona at ASU.
Fast forward, it's my last fight in the UFC against Pat Cummins. He set the record for the
most takedowns ever in a single UFC fight, which means I got up more times than anybody else had
gotten up before. I like to think of it that way, but gave me a cold ass beating on my last fight. And then that last picture there is me saying goodbye to the sport. I retired early at 32,
but we'll get to that in a minute here. So this first life is gonna take a little bit
of backstory on growing up. Growing up for me was really challenging and it was really
challenging for a couple reasons.
One, although the household wasn't super physically violent, it was as verbally violent as it could get. When I think of books like Nonviolent
Communication, my parents were the opposite of that. And they were really like two rams that
couldn't say sorry until it was too late. They didn't know when to back down. They didn't know
when to surrender to one another. And they had no real tools. So as pressure built, I could feel it as a kid. And really one of the hardest things there
was I had a little sister and I did an amazing podcast with Peter Krohn. Peter Krohn is fucking
incredible. And he dives, he cuts straight to the chase. He doesn't beat around the bush.
And, um, one of the most important things that he's told me was that words,
we think words are descriptive, but they're actually creative.
And, you know, I talked about football.
I talked about fighting in that.
I found football at eight years old.
It was my pressure release.
It was the only thing that could allow me to blow off steam having so much shit happen in the house.
And I loved it.
I loved it. I loved it. It was back in the day
when, you know, we had ex-calisthenics coaches from the Marines were our head coaches. And they
said, grab grass, hands and knees and butt heads. And it wasn't the top of the head. They say, put
your face mask on to protect our necks. And we literally slam our face to another face with our
mouthpiece in for two minutes to warm up our spine and our body. The game was different then.
And that was the exact fucking thing that I needed at that time in my life.
I fought a little bit growing up.
Oddly enough, most of the time I had to run from people.
I would try to outrun bullies and things like that.
My mother dressed me up until age 12 or 13.
And I looked like a preppy. So with that, being very skinny,
I had a lot of people chasing after me. And sometimes I would stop and fight. And
before I knew anything about flow states or being in the zone or any kind of terminology like that,
I found that fighting, oddly enough, was the thing that kept me centered. I had no fear in
fighting. I felt like the world
go quiet. That didn't happen when I fought professionally, but that was the case for me
when I was young. And I really appreciated that there was a draw to it for me. And more often
than not, I wouldn't run as I got older and I became a little bit, I fell in love with that,
with that feeling. So make it to college, number one party school in
the nation, Arizona state, number one for three years while I was there in Playboy magazine,
we had access to all the drugs. It was great. And even though I sat the bench both years after
walking on, um, I was one of the, one of the team that, you know, one of the team homies,
all the starters, all the best guys on the team loved me i loved them and uh we'd get head of the line passes at the bars we'd get pretty much
anything we wanted so uh cocaine ecstasy all the bad drugs i also had a really good doctor
who ended up going to jail and that really good doctor prescribed me a gang of steroids you could
see i was 268 pounds and bloated he prescribed me xanax because I needed to go to bed after snorting
Coke. He prescribed me Valium. He prescribed me Vicodin, which had Tylenol in it and a whole
host of Western medicine's best that really was contributing to the worst. And football ended
in my senior year. And my lifelong dream was to play in the NFL. So I had no problem taking
steroids because I wanted to get as far as I possibly could.
And sitting the bench halfway through the season, I realized that dream was over.
And so I really had to chew on that because it's the only thing I knew.
It was the only thing that gave me joy.
And up until that point, classes were okay.
But just to stay eligible, I changed my major so many times that I went from taking classes that I actually like to now taking classes that were about my major.
So in my senior year, I'd taken all the classes I wanted to know on psychology, communication, sociology, and I was going for a bachelor in interdisciplinary studies.
A bachelor in basket weaving, basically.
Two minors equal one major.
And the classes that I was taking were basically fill out a resume and explain to an employer why this degree is better than another.
And I knew that was absolute bullshit. I didn't believe in the degree. I thought if I had a degree
in psychology or just communications, I'd be infinitely better. And so it really started to
rub me the wrong way that I was living a fake life. And with football gone, I recognized there was a deep pit inside. I had a lot of
undealt with shit from my childhood, but at the same time, this pressure release that I had was
gone. And in addition to that, the things I loved, being in a part of a team, the camaraderie,
having people push you in different ways, all that had vanished overnight. And I remember going to
24-Hour Fitness and lifting weights by myself, and it felt like masturbation and not the good kind of masturbation, just like the kind where it's like, oh, what am I doing?
And that's because I was used to training with 100 guys at a time.
And my strength coach was one of the greatest strength coaches of all time in football.
He's the only strength coach to win Division I, Division I, single A, Strength Coach of the Year, and Strength Coach of the Year in the NFL.
His name's Coach House.
So there were many benefits in that part of my life.
But when it ended, I hit rock bottom.
And I told my parents I was going to take a semester off from school against their wishes.
And that made even more drugs, even more partying.
And I got in a big fight, a big argument with my girlfriend at the time.
And I think the core at this low point big argument with my girlfriend at the time.
And I think the core at this low point was I really felt like I couldn't be loved. And I felt that deeply. And in that moment, I decided to end my life. So I grabbed every pill that I
had, all the Vicodin with Tylenol. Tylenol is probably worse than the Vicodin. All the Xanax, all the Valium.
And I drank all those pills as fast as I could.
I drove to the top of parking lot seven.
I stripped down naked after climbing up to this ladder where I could stand on the edge
and made one final prayer
where I could make peace with how I felt.
And almost immediately, I felt this, like a wind flow through me, this warm wind.
And the words not yet were implanted in my head. And I knew what those words meant.
It meant the peace that I'm seeking right now, I'm going to have that.
But there's still more here.
There's still more for me here.
So not yet.
And I could feel it.
And maybe it was just the drugs kicking in, but I could feel this warmth inside that I had never felt before and a peace inside.
And right about the same time as this happening, there was a guard who had followed me up.
It was 3.30 in the morning.
And all I hear is, oh shit, you're naked. And I was like, oh yeah, shit. All right,
let me put my clothes on. I'll come down. So I threw on a robe. I came back down the ladder.
I explained what was going on, where I was at. And I said, look, I feel fine now. I'm not going
to kill myself, but I've got a belly full of pills. I think I need help. So he had already called the cops, thankfully.
They had escorted me to a local hospital.
I don't remember any of this last part.
I remember that conversation with him.
I don't remember how I got there.
And 36 hours later, I wake up.
My mom, my dad, my sister are all there.
They flew in from California.
And there was a moment of like, oh, mom, dad, Kendra, wow, this is great.
It's like, what are you doing here? And these blank stares of disbelief that I was in this position.
And I'm sure guilt on having it go that far. If my son or daughter ever attempted the same,
I would really look at myself hard in the mirror and have to question that. And being in the hospital, I stayed in the hospital
for a week. Coming off of anti-anxiety pills, if you go cold turkey, it can actually kill you.
I didn't know this at the time, so they wanted to wean me. Even though I wasn't a daily user,
certainly when I did use, I went big. And so while I was
staying there, I met a lot of sick people, people who had really been through it, much older than
me that were looking at me like, what the fuck are you here for? Your family's here. You're an
athlete. Why are you here? And talking with some therapists, they really gave me some things to look at.
One of them said, hey, we can do family group therapy here.
Say whatever you feel like saying, but don't expect anything in return.
And so two things happened in that moment that changed my life.
One was I talked to my family.
I told them everything that ripped me apart and
everything that was challenging as a kid.
And I didn't say it, there was denial, there was all sorts of shit, but
it didn't matter to me, it mattered that I actually said it.
And when I left, the second thing happened. I actually sat down and what had happened
with this bottoming out was the bubble that I'd grown up with of what I'm supposed to do,
who I'm supposed to be, why I need to go to college, what degree I need,
what job I need that's a cure that I can keep for the rest of my life. All that shit
exploded and that bubble burst. And when I asked myself, what do I actually want to do? I had no fucking
idea. And so I just started to sit. Long before I had a relationship with nature,
I would just go sit outside. I'd sit by a tree. I'd sit in a park. And I'd ask myself these
questions. And I didn't know what to do, but I started tracking what was missing. And what was
missing was the camaraderie of my team. What was missing
was still feeling like an athlete and not being able to pursue that dream anymore. I knew,
you know, in my early 20s that I was just getting started. And then I had years left before my prime.
And a few weeks later, I had somebody had talked to me about participating in mixed martial arts.
And so I went and trained at a gym in Phoenix for about six months.
Didn't like the coaching, didn't like stuff.
So I ended up trying a different gym.
And I walked into the Rage in the Cage Training Center in Phoenix with a guy named Roland Saria.
And Roland also ran a small promotion with the same name, Rage in the Cage.
And he told me, you me, first day I'm
in there, he goes, listen, you're tall, you're handsome, you're athletic. Come fight pro for me.
If you like it, you can keep going. If you don't like it, you at least have the story of that one
pro fight. And I was like, let me think about that. I started chewing on it. I thought, that's
actually not a bad pitch. Let me try this out. And my first two fights, I won in under 30 seconds.
So I was fucking pumped. And I really had to make a decision there. What do I want to do
now? How far can I take this if I actually push myself and apply myself? And so I ended up finding
a great coach who was a Jeet Kune Do expert trained under Dan Inosanto for years named Vince
Perez-Mazzola. And he started training like
a true martial artist. And he had a strength coach that he recommended named Ray D'Alessio.
Ray was a Czech understudy. We're going to talk a lot about Paul Czech today.
And one of the days while I was working out with Ray, he said, you fought a lot. He was a New
Yorker. And I go, I fart a lot? He's like, yeah, you fought a lot. And I was like,
that's not something you say to a dude in the gym. It's on protein powder or something. Like,
what's the big fucking deal? He's like, no, you've got an intolerance. And so he asked me
if I'd read a book. And I remember adamantly telling him, fuck no, I'm done with books.
I'm never going to read another book again. School is done. I'm done with that. I'd rather
get punched in the face than read a book. He said, okay, would you watch a video? And I said, yeah, the video was called Flatten Your Abs Forever.
I was like, fuck yeah. I was big. I was overweight. I want to be shredded.
I want to watch this Flatten Your Abs Forever video. And so I get this video on and it has
nothing to do with being shredded. It has everything to do with the gut microbiome,
with soil quality, with the fact that our soils diminished over the last 80 years.
And it's all Paul checking. He's got an I love dirt shirt on and he's talking about
intolerances and he's talking about ways you can discover that through elimination diets.
And that video was a big, big change in my life because I realized then,
oh, I think I need to read this book. And I read the book. I did a elimination diet and I found I had a gluten intolerance and also had a dairy intolerance to shit dairy.
And I didn't feel great on grain. So there was a lot of changes that I made. And one of the most
beautiful things that I got from fighting is that it's the hardest test in the world. At ASU,
I could go party till 2 a.m., wake up at 5 a.m., run wind sprints with the team and not die from it. I was
also younger. But in fighting, if I drank before practice, I'd be fucking dead. I couldn't do it.
I had to take care of myself. And when I changed my diet and I started going to bed on time,
again, you guys will get, we'll send you links out to these books. How to Eat, Move,
and Be Healthy by Paul Cech is a game changer. It's a starting place for everyone. Highly recommend you guys
jump into those questionnaires that help you fine tune what diet is right for you.
None of us are the same. None of us need the same diet. And this really helps you refine that.
So what Paul did for me, who's now one of my mentors and one of my best friends,
is he planted a seed because he showed me what I could gain from one book.
And with that, that really fueled me into what would become my next stage.
The next stage would be the holistic life. So we moved from the sporadic savage into the holistic life. I get in great shape, obviously. You see me with the bow and arrow
there with Aubrey. Aubrey and I and Dr. Danle hanging with paul at his place down in socal and i really start to to embody these messages one
thing that had really taken place in my fight career that was really important to mention is
my boxing coach many of you know was a mestizo aztec and um and chicano mex. And he would bring the fighters out for traditional sweat lodges.
I had moved back to California to train at American Kickboxing Academy
with Cain Velasquez, Daniel Cormier, Luke Rockhold,
Abib Naberga-Minoff, all guys that would become future UFC champions.
Those are my training partners, day in and day out for years.
And he really was a big catalyst because, you know, he was the first guy to
introduce me to sweat lodges. How do I enter into a ceremony with respect and reverence?
How do I utilize intention? What does prayer actually mean? And how do I get those prayers
heard? And so, you know, I'm forever grateful for Witi. He's still my maestro, even though he's
passed on to the other side and uh you know slightly before
our fighting ended rather i got to meet the woman of my dreams natasha kingsbury and we met on a
tour goodwill tour uso style tour for the troops in kuwait and iraq hit it off immediately and a
number of synchronicities led us to living together in my mom's detached garage which
showed me she was a savage and down.
And we made big changes together as a family. We had Bear in 2015. A year later, I started a
podcast, made my way on the Joe Rogan Experience. He told me, you got to start a podcast. And so I
did. A year after that was at Paleo FX as a speaker. I met Aubrey Marcus and we shared the same flight back
to Vegas where we were living at the time and traded war stories for three hours on
all the stuff that I knew about health and wellness, optimization, performance, longevity,
healing the brain. And he's like, you're going to come work with me out on it.
And so that ended up happening. I came in, he created the position for me as director of human
optimization and I got to be the optimization dork.
I was trying out biohacks and anything I get my hands on
and really applying that, seeing if it worked.
And then I'd give it to guys like Want It
or Primal Soldier, different people that were in the space,
Tim Kennedy, Donald Cerrone, and see what they thought of it.
So other pro athletes that were still training hard,
show me if the supplement works.
I also took over the On It podcast as the host.
And I got to continue, you know, the secondary education by interviewing some of the smartest
people in the world, guys like Dr. Dominic D'Agostino. I just did an excellent podcast
with Dr. Jack Cruz that we'll talk about here in a minute. And this, this holistic life really
became easy. There was, there was moments of it being challenging, but there was so much beauty in it.
And it really, for me at that point, it was like, I know how to live. We're good. And I'm not going
to worry about anyone else. I didn't give a shit about politics. I didn't give a shit about what
was happening in the world. And this brings us to life three. Life three, as you can see,
my COVID 1984 shirt had to do with what happened in 2020. And, you know, I'm not here to call it how
I see it. I'm not here to call it how, you know, there's no judgment on anyone's decision-making
in that time because it was fucking hard. We'd never experienced anything like that.
But one thing that I understood viscerally was that the world had changed forever,
that it wasn't going to back, it wasn't going to go back to normal. And the more I rabbit hole
things of that nature, like why is this happening what happened to natural immunity um i really
started to wake up to the fact that i can't just live my life in a cave i can't just figure out
what's right for me and live that way because the world itself is changing and with with that, I need to create more people who
understand the benefit of freedom, who know how to be sovereign, who know how to create community
and a community of like-minded people that can provide more than they consume
and protect themselves and really rekindle our relationship with nature, which so much I can
say has happened from ayahuasca and different things. But really, that third life brought me into where I'm at now, where I'm a family man.
I hunt.
I do harvest.
That's a bison right there on the third pick.
That's on the far right, me planting one of our trees in our 400 fruit and nut tree food
forest in a permaculture.
The picture with me and that dog is our our second mama we've
had on the land of our dogs she gave birth that day i took her out i could feel it and um took
her out on a nice long or she took me on a long walk i should say she told me about it hey take
me for a walk so we did i remembered uh with both of our children that walking actually helps walking
sex and uh and snuggling helps.
Now,
obviously me and Athena are going to get it on,
but we got lots of snuggles.
And like I said,
she took me for that walk and she gave birth that night.
It was January 6th of this year.
And then on the far left,
me shooting with bears has been one of the greatest things as well.
One of the greatest gifts,
same way my dad taught me.
So these three lives have really shaped who I am, what I'm interested in. And,
and, you know, in fucking 2019 or 2020, I quit Instagram. I quit Twitter. I quit it all. This is,
it came from befriending a guy named Boyd Vardy. He wrote the Lion Tracker's Guide to Life,
one of my good buddies. And one of the core concepts he said was, this is a guy who lives
in Africa and he has a reserve and he takes people out on safari and he's one of the best
trackers in the world. And he said, when he's there in nature, there's an undeniable experience
that he has that he can't get anywhere else. And he's a medicine man. He flies to the States. He
provides and holds space for people in medicine journeys. And he said, just in being in the States, he feels the vibration. He's on his
phone more and he can feel that longing to get back to where he's from. And that really hit me
like a Mack truck because I realized my mind's wrapped up online. It's wrapped up on Instagram.
It's wrapped up in the world's activities. And I just said, fuck it, I'm out. Now, fast forward through what happened in 2020, I realized the best way to chat
with people is Instagram. The best way to communicate with community are social media for
all of its pros and cons. And that's kind of been one of the major catalysts that draw me out of the shadows here. So what is physical fitness? It's funny because, you know, we had a title this,
we were fit for service. You know, we've got marketing team guys. We've got our boy Clay on.
Physically fit made the most sense, right? But the body is a better term, but beyond the body,
health is a better term. And so what does that actually look like? Well, it's just like we've
got here on the webpage. Look great, burn fat, build muscle, perfect your posture, and get in the best shape of your
life. Perform better, overcome injuries, unlock your energy, increase your libido, and accomplish
anything. Live longer, sleep like the dead to feel more alive. Feel young, extend your prime,
live longer, live better. Of all these things, look great as a side effect of health perform better that's that's my
specialty i want performance i want to increase libido which is not just sex sex drive it's your
life force energy and and that's really what we're going to talk about today as we move along here so
i'm excited to be able to give you guys as much of that information from a fire hose as i possibly
can and you know live longer i'm not like dave asprey i don't want to fucking live to be able to give you guys as much of that information from a fire hose as I possibly can. And, you know, live longer.
I'm not like Dave Asprey.
I don't want to fucking live to be 150, but I want to live well until it's time to die.
And I want to have the full use and full function of my body until the day that I die.
And that's really what I think about when I think of longevity.
What is physical fitness?
This is one of the many pictures I have with Uncle Paul, Paul Cech.
Paul is 62 years old, young, 62 years
young. He can still lift me under the table when we do strength training exercises. That's my rock
stack next to me and his rock stack is considerably higher next to him. He is one of the greatest
health and wellness coaches of all time. And this was a guy who was a coach for the Chicago Bulls.
Strength coach brought him in to the Chicago Bulls when they had their three-peat.
He was Jordan's coach, Pippen's coach.
He became Kobe Bryant's coach.
He was Gabby Reese and Laird Hamilton's coach.
He's Danny Way's coach, one of the greatest skateboarders of all time.
Danny Way had a horrific accident trying to jump the Great Wall of China on a massive fucking ramp.
Fails the first time because he got nervous, gets back up with the injury and fucking completes it
on the second jump, and then does it again, knowing he's never going to have another
opportunity to do it. Danny Way hit up Paul to rehab his body and get back.
And that is the short list of who Paul's worked with. He's absolutely changed my life. And when
I think of physical fitness, I think of him. I think of somebody that knows far more than the physical. He's tapped into
mental emotional. He's a father, a provider. He's into regenerative agriculture and farming.
He has probably the deepest connection with nature of anyone that I've ever met.
And so he understands the as above, so below, the as within, so without. And that's a huge
part of health. It's not just how healthy is my body. It's how healthy are my connections to others? How healthy
is my connection to the all consciousness? How healthy is my connection to my environment?
And Paul embodies that. Next on the list, my fucking most amazing partner, Natasha Kingsbury.
That's her choking me out while I'm pinning bear. And Godsey's in the background,
back when he had more hair, sorry Godsey. Godsey's in the background geeking out laughing his ass
off while she's trying to hit that rear naked. Middle pick, she's hitting deadlifts as you can
see not long after delivering little Wolfie. And strength and conditioning isn't her favorite
thing to do. She does that because she wants to be better. And she realizes if she's stronger, she's going to be better at running. If she's stronger, she's going to be better at yoga.
If she's stronger, her body's going to work better and have less pain. And so I understand most women
don't fucking like weight training and that's totally fine. That's not her favorite thing.
She's done yoga teacher training. She was a runner at NAU. And beyond all the physical
accolades, she's a phenomenal mother.
And physical fitness to her is having the energy to be a mom all day. She's their teacher. Both of our kids are homeschooled. She runs this whole household. She's the matriarch of the house.
And that's a lot to carry. It's a lot to carry so I can work and provide, and she does it all.
And so her physical fitness is beyond what we think of physical
fitness. She's the embodiment of being a complete person. And there's one of our little puppy dogs
from Athena right there in her hands. Last on the list, when I think of physical fitness,
I think of this guy, Daniel Firth Griffith. Daniel Firth Griffith is our mentor when it
comes to regenerative agriculture. I've had him on the podcast a number of times. He has an amazing health story where he was phenomenal at football.
He had full ride offers to Ohio State as a sophomore in high school. He was a fucking
sophomore, was incredibly talented. And he got really hurt and really sick. And he ended up going
to college on a math scholarship. So dude's an actual polymath.
He's incredibly brilliant. And as he started his health rabbit hole, his body just deteriorated
right in front of him. He could figure out nothing other than maybe we should look into the food and
maybe I should be outdoors more. Those are two key ingredients here. And so he started doing that.
He took his mathematical mind to agriculture. He studied under Alan Saver. He was
on the Mount Rushmore of regenerative agriculture. And he continues to write books. He's got
incredible books. He's a poet. He's a whole lot of things, but he's a family man. He's deeply
connected to nature and his soul is lit. This guy's tapped in. He holds physical fitness and
beyond. All right, briefly, I want to make sure I don't miss any of this. So I'm
going to glance down here. This is speaking to those that are meant to join. And this is going
on a nature walk at our property in Lockhart with Daniel Griffith leading the way.
It's not true for most people on this call that you can't afford this course.
It's just about if this is valuable enough or not. And it's not that's on me if the irs said you
owe them four thousand dollars and you would go to jail if you didn't pay them by the end of the year
would you find a way to pay them most of us would no doubt we have payment plans for this if you
broke down how much this course would daily cost daily over the year on credit be fourteen dollars
a day is that not worth it for you to be the healthiest you've ever been? To have control of your health and immunity? To have boundless energy that allows
you to accomplish everything you set out to do in life? To build a community of like-minded
individuals that want to live free and can produce more than they consume? I want to create a group
of these people that become warriors in the garden, self-sufficient and healthy in every way,
interconnected with
the strength of community, mother nature, and bonds that never break. So if you feel the call,
be brave. And for the people who aren't ready, everything I'm about to teach you
on the rest of this call for free is a distillation of the last 20 years of my athletic career
and the experts that I've worked with privately, oneon-one and through the podcast. This will
change your fucking life. What's coming? All right. Mastering your energy, mitochondria,
energy, we can call it energy. Mitochondria are responsible for this, but I'm not going to geek
out on the science of this stuff. What I'm going to give you are the key components of what will
unlock the fastest results for you right now. We've got light, sleep, hot and cold
therapies, water, movement, food, supplements, and bioenergetics. And I'll break each of these
down as we go. Light, this book right here, it's no longer out of print, over 3 million copies sold,
Health and Light by John N. Ott is an expose. He was a gardener who got into
time-lapse photography and one of the one of the first people
to use that on a microscope to do time-lapse under a microscope and he could actually see
the function of mitochondria generally when you look at cells and things in our microscope
they don't appear to be moving things move very slowly but with time-lapse photography he was
able to see a whole host of shit and he could see how light affected plants, chloroplasts, as well as many other things.
And much as we'll discuss when it comes to food, light is poison or medicine. It is poison or
medicine. And just like water, you can have too much, right? You can kill yourself drinking water.
So there's a cap to that. But sunlight is the perfected sunlight, including UV. And he gets
into this in detail in this book.
In addition to that, many of us have heard of red light therapies and things like that.
They're phenomenal. They cost a little bit of money, but if you don't want to spend a dime,
watch the sunrise and watch the sunset. You're almost exclusively going to get red light in the beginning hours and the late hours of the day. And you can stare at the sun
with naked eyes, no sunglasses,
no eyeglasses. And he gets really deep into that in this book. All ultraviolet light is broken up from windows. So even if you've got a lot of windows in your office, you're not getting the
full spectrum. Whatever lights you have overhead, they're not the full spectrum. And so the healthier
we want to be and the better we want our mitochondria, the more natural light we need to
have. That is a fact. If you live in a place that doesn't get a lot of natural light in the winter times,
it's imperative that you have some red light therapy. There's Biomat, there's higher dose
mats. These have the right red and infrared light and have pulse electromagnetic frequency.
We'll dive in a little bit of that at the end of here. PMF is going to be these pulses of
electromagnetic frequency that are
beneficial, utilizing the Schumann resonance of the earth, 7.83 hertz. That's grounding. That's
what kicking your shoes off and getting them in the grass does. That's what going in the ocean
does. So if we've got type A, go, go, go type people on this webinar, super important that
you add that to the arsenal. Juve Light's also very good, J-O-O-V.
And for sure, read this book because of any of the books that I'm about to tell you,
other than Paul Cech's book, How to Eat and Be Healthy, probably the most important thing you'll
read here. Oh, here's a great one too. Tetragrammaton, it was an amazing, it's Ruben's
podcast. He did an amazing two-part podcast with Dr. Andrew Huberman and Dr. Jack Cruz.
And you really get to know Jack Cruz on this podcast.
He takes Huberman to school for nine fucking hours on why light matters, why all this stuff matters.
And so if you just want to deep dive Jack Cruz, I can promise you it will not be worth a waste of time uh and huberman takes it like a champ i had the same thing happened when i
podcasted with jack cruz he tried to take me to town even though i told him he was preaching to
choir and a lot of this shit but um it was it was hilarious and he's not afraid to bust balls
one of my favorite quotes of his is the dildo of unintended consequences often comes without lube.
And he said that on the podcast and I was like, damn, dude, he is a practicing neurosurgeon.
So he's a brain doctor that actually still does neurosurgery and has a fundamentally
different view of what health looks like, a far different view of what science should
look like considering every test we've ever run was under fake lights in a
sterile environment. There is nowhere else on earth where we're under fake lights in a sterile
environment, only in the lab. So why would we be testing things under this scenario? And that's
just one key ingredient of how he sees the world differently. Definitely worth getting into Jack
Cruise. Sleep, number two. Super important here. The main takeaways are cold, dark, and quiet. If you
get a cold, dark, and quiet, you're going to sleep better. Obviously, pillows, the right bed,
that kind of stuff, it matters. There was a point in my first fight in the UFC I lost against Tom
Lawler. And because I was rabbit holing all this information, I realized I need to bet on me.
And I'm going to bet my whole fucking check, which I only made
10 grand. I had to pay a grand to my coaches and a grand to my management. That whole eight grand
went to buying a new bed. Now, that was an expensive bed. It was a Tempur-Pedic. I found
better beds since then that are for cheaper. But at that time, that was the greatest investment I
could make in myself was buying that $8,000 bed with every last fucking penny that I had. The book on the left, Sleep by Nick Little-Hales,
is hands down the best how-to guide to sleep better.
And the myth of the eight hours, yeah, we sleep in 90-minute cycles.
All of that's in there, including everything I just told you about cold, dark, and quiet.
I sleep with earplugs. I think they work great.
Another thing we can do to enhance sleep is have white noise or ocean sound machines. And one of the reasons for that is when we're in the womb, there's a whooshing sound of
the fluids moving around us. And so the first nine months of our existence, we are covered in this
warm, perfect environment that's making these swirly rhythmic sounds. And that actually can
help us get into much deeper sleep. Blackout blind, super important, cold, dark, and quiet.
And again, the deeper dive of that will be in Sleep by Nick Littlehills.
If you want to know the science and the importance of sleep, Matthew Walker is a PhD from Berkeley.
He wrote Why We Sleep.
He's done six-hour podcasts with Dr. Peter Atiyah on the subject.
They really dive deep into it.
I think there's some things he gets right, but one of the main reasons I didn't like that book in its entirety is because he doesn't have
a whole lot of how-to. So if you're going to get one, Get Sleep by Nick Little-Hales. If you're
really interested in this topic, get Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker, PhD.
Contrast therapy. Everyone's heard, well, maybe not everyone everyone if you listen to joe rogan you've
heard about sauna therapy from people like dr ronald patrick um one of the stats that i absolutely
love and you can see this is a hot rock sauna hot rock sauna when you talk about sauna therapy this
is what they're talking about nordic finnish uh saunas are hot rock saunas whether they're
electrically heated or fire heated they're not infrared saunas. And they're, you know, maybe I can dive into the difference between the two later, but
all the studies that she's talking about when it comes to sauna therapy and contrast therapy,
they're talking about hot rock saunas. And one of the things that blew me away is
there's significant improvement based on how often you do it that doesn't seem to have a cap.
So the more often you sauna for up to an hour each day, the better you'll be. And one of those stats is if you sauna for five to seven days a week for an
hour, you have a 60% drop in all-cause mortality. That means any fucking way you can die, there's a
60% drop in that. So you can begin to understand if it's going to affect all-cause mortality,
then globally, it's making your entire system better.
And it helps us detox. You got heat shock proteins. You got a whole bunch of stuff.
You can rabbit hole there. I think Dr. Rhonda Patrick is one of the best resources. She's got
a podcast. You can listen to her on Rogan's, on Tim Ferriss, and she deep dives this stuff.
She really geeks out on it. But sauna is super important. They can be a little expensive.
I got a barrel sauna for about 4,800 bucks. That's going to be a
bit cheaper than some of the other box saunas, but you can also find gyms that include them.
So Onnit's got one here in Austin. There's different places where you can have a membership
to a gym that also doubles as a place where you've got hot and cold therapy. Here's our boy,
Joe Rogan. In the chat, write down what's the longest you've done an ice bath for, just for shits and giggles, and what temperature.
The longest you went as the coldest temperature.
I think the longest I've done is 12 minutes at 44 degrees.
I don't think the pissing contest is necessary when we talk about ice baths. To be perfectly honest, the science on all the science that
Wim Hof talks about and the science of how beneficial ice baths are, the temperature of
the bath is 57 degrees and the length of time is three to five minutes. So consider that.
Now there are benefits to going colder, there's greater physiological response,
the mitochondria have to work harder. It's a greater shock to the system,
but you can't overdo this, right? Just as like you wouldn't spend the day in the sauna.
Spending 20 minutes at 32 degrees, probably not a good idea. But understanding that,
we can see that with 57 degrees for three to five minutes, I can get a shit done,
a shitload accomplished in a very short period of time. And that's one of the reasons the ice bath
is one of my favorite things to utilize and if you incorporate this according to jack
cruz first thing in the morning that will be that's just going to program your body for the
rest of the day it's going to program your circadian rhythm it's going to jump start your
mitochondria it's going to jump start energy production because the mitochondria have to
work specifically in the cold to keep you alive by generating energy
that keeps you warm. So hitting that in the morning or post-workout, I don't recommend
post-workout, but in the morning and at least two or three hours after your workout, those are going
to be your best steps for the cold. And of course, Wim Hof. If you haven't heard of Wim Hof, check
him out. He's got a ton of stuff. All right, we're on to water. This book, The Fourth Phase of Water Beyond Solid Liquid Vapors by a guy named Gerald H. Pollack. He's
a professor out of UW Washington. He's incredible. It's one of the greatest books, one of the most
important books ever written about water. And I think it's an absolute phenomenal understanding.
So what are the differences here between filtration and
structured? A good starting place is to drink spring water, but that shit can add up. So if
you're drinking from your house water, you cannot do tap water. It has to be filtered. And some of
the best that I found are Aquasana. That's what we have in our house here. Aquasana is a whole
home filter. It's a couple grand. It doesn't structure it though. And as you dive into the
fourth phase of water, you understand we want structured water. There's structured water
in mother's milk. There's structured water if we cold press juices, greens, anything, it's going
to have structured water. There's structured water in raw milk. If you find a good dairy cow
that's got A2, A2 casein, that's going to be structured water. 97% of that is. And structured
water actually has a hexagonal form to it and your body's able to utilize it much better. So I would highly
recommend getting a good filtration system for the home. It's going to cost a little bit of money.
Greenfield Systems makes one. That's Ben Greenfield's dad and his brother. They have a
phenomenal one that actually vortexes at the same time. So it structures as it filtrates. And then
one of my favorite companies
called Onalema, they make a little wand that you can stir into your water that will not filter it,
but structure it right there. They also have a whole home kit for structuring that's about
$1,200. Upping your water game will up everything. And that's one of the things that Dr. Jack Cruz
harps on. It's why he wants people to read this book, but also studied Gilbert Ling. Gilbert Ling did so much for water that allowed Gerald Pollack to write this book after
the fact. And if we understand light, if we understand our body, which we'll get into in
the bioenergetics as electrical beings, and then we understand water, we can accomplish damn near
anything when it comes to our health goals. Movement. So we got here, I got my boy, How to Eat, Move, and Be Healthy.
It is the fucking dorkiest cover of all time.
Coffee's 100,000 in print. It's Paul Cech's Bible on health and wellness. In that book,
there's everything. He talks about primal movement patterns, different forms of strength training,
and a whole host of other shit. Remember that you're going to have personalized steps to understanding what
is the right food for you. So this goes into food. It goes into a whole other thing,
a lot of other things other than movement. But briefly, when we're talking about increasing
energy and we're talking about increasing the potency of our mitochondria, few things do it
better than HIIT training, high intensity interval training.
So that would look like what the Japanese called, what is it called? Tabata. You go 20 seconds on,
10 seconds off as hard as you can on a leg press, on our ski rower, and you just hit rounds like
that where you're going as hard as you can. You're taking short breaks. That gets you gas very quick.
So there's a teeter-tottering movement whereas i increase
intensity i have to drop volume if i increase volume i have to drop intensity this is what
keeps movement as a practice sustainable if i increase them both at the same time that's going
to lead to burnout and injury altitude training was something that i really got into in the ufc a
lot of people like why are you so veiny i'm like well i did altitude training for 15 years actually
and i had an altitude machine,
a simulator that would simulate 20,000 feet elevation. My wife and I slept in it for years
at about 10,000 feet, didn't quite sleep at 20. We could work out with it with a mask.
And we got a lot done. Then I started to find this science on blood flow restriction that was
also coming out of Japan. And one of my coaches sent it to me. And the main three things that they were finding in Japan were blood flow restriction was really good for injuries. It was really good for hypertrophy, building muscle, and it was really good't the elderly. So I said, fuck it. Then about a year ago, I had a guy on my podcast
who recommended this. He set me up with another guy who runs his own BFR company
and started working with it. And I've had several knee injuries from football to fighting,
hurt it again in jujitsu and got stem cells a second time. Stem cells at 40 didn't quite work
the same as it did when I was younger. And for about eight months,
I could try to rehab this thing very slowly. Once I started working with blood flow restriction,
and there are many companies here, you just want ones that pump up and inflate
rather than tourniquet style. It took me six weeks to fully rehab my knee. My knees never
felt better. And the reason for that is if you train at altitude or you do blood flow restriction,
you're going to have a greater growth hormone response. So it's one of the ways we can play
almost with, you know, almost at a PED level, a four to six X increase in growth hormone response.
If you do blood flow restriction for just 20 minutes, and you can do that as three, five days,
as many days as you want. If you're training in different ways, the Kansas city chiefs are using
this stuff, the LA Lakers, it can make you faster. It can make you jump higher.
It can do a lot as an athlete as well.
It's not just for building muscle.
And then we come to number three, zone two nasal breathing.
This is a big one.
I really got turned on to this by Brian McKenzie and Dr. Andy Galpin.
They were the authors of Unplugged, and that, too, is a phenomenal book.
But really one of the things they got into is how this baseline
cardio can really move the bar on recovery and everything else, even for power lifters and
people that are into power sports and never want to run for long distance and never have
any activity that's longer than a few seconds. Bringing that baseline cardio up allows you to
filter out things when you're sleeping. It allows your heart to work more effectively.
And zone two is pretty easy. You can keep your mouth shut. The Navy SEALs will hold
water in their mouth. I like a company called hostage tape. I wear that when I sleep and I can
wear that for some zone two runs. And it's a rate limiter. You know, when you start running a little
too fast and you're starting to snort and puff, you realize I can't take, I can't take another
step without ripping this thing off. It's a way to find the right pace for each of us individually. 10K row on the Concept2 rower. Incredible with
mouth tape on doing zone two nasal breathing. Last but not least, weight training. Weight
training is, there's a deep dive on this in Paul Cech's book. One of my favorite books on weight
training is a book called Easy Strength by Pavel Tatsulin and Dan John. And the core concept of that before we
move on from movement is there was two Russian scientists, Berkachansky and Sif. They wrote a
book called Super Training, which was really a textbook. And one of the things they had to
determine in the 1980s was everyone here, everyone in the world on Olympic level is trading at 80,
90, and 100% of their one rep max. What if we trained at 50% of our one rep max and we got
the 50% to go up? Would that still
impact the 100% later? And this idea became a reality. And one of the huge benefits of training
at 50% is their nervous system was never fried. The younger you are, it's easy to beat yourself up.
Arizona State, the older you are, the longer it takes to recover. So if I kick my ass doing
really heavy deadlifts at this age, at 42, it's going to take me two to three weeks to recover from that.
As a young person, I could max out on squat on Monday and max out on deadlift on Friday, no problem.
But as we age, this becomes more of an issue.
So easy strength for me, whether you're a professional athlete, whether you're not really into weight training and you want somewhere to start, or whether you're injured and need a way back, easy strength by Pavel Tatsun and Dan John is the way. And all these things, why am I talking about this movement piece? Because movement
is essential for building muscle and making your body better and building mitochondria.
Keto, fasting, intermittent fasting, mimicking, carnivore, leptin RX. All right, so food.
We could talk for 90 minutes on food, but the reason I chose to,
I chose to throw these five things up here is because these are all forms of fasting.
Ketogenic diet is a form of fasting where you go with low carbohydrates. Carnivore is a really
deep form of fasting. Even veganism is a form of fasting where you're fasting for meat. All of
them serve a purpose. And the keto reset diet by mark sisson you know when i when i retired from
fighting i had to heal my brain and uh being in a state of ketosis on and off for about two years
alongside plant medicines and hyperbaric oxygen different things we did wonders for my fucking
brain actually considered if i'd go back to college or not because now my brain was retaining
information everything i was reading stuck and i could regurgitate it and i could somebody asked
me a question boom i got it all by going into a state of ketosis because it was
allowing my brain to heal and it was giving me an alternate fuel source. In addition to that,
ketones are a clean fuel source. So as we talk about supplements, which I think is next,
it is, as we talk about supplements, the mitochondria are always making food
and they can take that from carbohydrates. They can take it from fats. They can take it from
ketones. The deal with ketones is that they're a clean energy system. So you're not going to get
a lot of waste, metabolic waste, or reactive oxygen species from a ketone. Whereas if I eat
carbohydrates, that's going to create reactive oxygen species. So a little bit more inflammation,
a little bit longer to recover, these kinds of things. And when we get into supplements, we'll really unpack that. But being in a state of
ketosis periodically does really well. One of the first things that Chet goes over is the work of
Weston A. Price. Weston A. Price was a dentist that traveled the globe, and he worked with
indigenous cultures all over the world. He saw people who, you know, the Inuit from northern
Alaska who had never had anything
from the sad American diet and were perfectly healthy, perfect teeth, perfect skin. They had
80%, they survived 80% on blubber from seals and whales. Only a couple of months a year could they
eat berries and things that grew in the ground. And then you go to the pygmies at the equator in
Africa and they ate 80% yams and only had grubs and things they
could find like timon and pumba to get protein and fat. Stark contrast, both of them incredibly
healthy until you start to include the standard American diet, which we'd see all types of shit
happen with their mouth first. And there's photos of this stuff. They didn't have a word for cancer
in their tribes. They didn't have a word for heart disease. They didn't have a word for gum disease. None of that shit existed before the introduction of
modern food. So it's important to know that from an ancestral standpoint. And it's also important
to track, you know, as you go through how do you move me healthy, you'll find, am I a polar type?
Do I do better with high fat, high protein? If I do, ketogenic diets could work for me. If I'm
more of an equatorial type, I need carbohydrates every day and I probably can't eat super heavy meat. That might mean
chicken breast, chicken thighs, lean red meat, and you'll probably do better there. Fish will
be great too for an equatorial type, but something heavy like a ribeye is going to fuck them up.
So again, these are different forms of fasting. The reason they're here on food is because all
these forms of fasting have the ability to ramp up mitochondria. They have the ability to clear and reset. Jack
Cruz has the leptin RX where you reset leptin levels. Leptin is the hormone responsible for
satiety where you're like, oh, I'm good. I feel good. I don't need to eat anymore. And he's got
a whole thing online there, leptin RX. You can Google that. It'll pop right up. Very easy
protocol and a lot of rabbit holes too if you want to that. It'll pop right up. Very easy protocol. And a lot of
rabbit holes too, if you want to dive in and Jack Cruz. Carnivore, same thing. I wouldn't do it for
longer than a few weeks, like the keto reset diet. All of these can be really good and acute,
but really long-term, probably not that good. The main takeaway here, especially when it comes to
the mitochondria, is to not eat before bed. You want to give yourself at least three hours before
you go to bed. And the reason for that is it comes out of a San Diego guy named Dr. Sachin Panda at the Salk Institute.
And what Sachin Panda found out was our microbiome is on a circadian rhythm as well.
And if we're going to eat carbohydrates in the morning and midday, it's going to be better for
us than in the evening. Also, the more rest we have from our last bite until when we hit the
sheets, the easier it is for our body to break down food and actually repair itself, to repair the brain.
Because as it turns out, the body has to use a lot of resources to break down food.
And if you're into fasting, you want to learn more about fasting, by far my favorite is The Complete Guide to Fasting by Dr. Jason Fung.
In that, they talk about intermittent fasting.
They talk about all the science of what it can do, bone broth fasting, you name it, alternate day.
Fasting mimicking was something that I heard of from Dr. Walter Longo on Dr. Rhonda Patrick's podcast.
And fasting mimicking is where you still get about 500 to 1,000 calories a day for five days.
But just in that crunch period, you can achieve quite a bit of the same results that you would on a water fast.
So we started getting into that quite a bit, something that Eric Godsey and I do.
We take people once a year in January through full temple reset.
Full temple reset is where we reset the body, the mind, the psyche, the emotional body,
the spirit.
And we do that while fasted.
So fasting is absolutely incredible for tuning in on a different level.
It's how we can think outside the box.
And fasting for a long time was one of the ways people entered into altered states of consciousness.
No food, no water for four days in nature will do that.
So I'm not talking about that here as a means of resetting the mitochondria.
That's a completely different thing that we're looking at.
But fasting in all its forms is going to be good for the mitochondria.
Supplements for mitochondria. All right. I had a lady on my podcast named Catherine Armstead who
started this company, energybits.com. And it was a fucking science show. Like I sat there and was
lectured for 90 minutes on everything that algae can do. Since then, I've verified it all and it
made sense not only for myself by taking her products, but I've taken a deep dive into the science.
She sent me all of her links to everything.
For the last 13 years, she's been deep diving this.
And there's a lot of things when we think about this on a cellular level, what happens
with algae is that algae is one of the few foods on the planet that contains something
called SOD, superoxide dismutase.
There are only two things in the body that can enter into the mitochondria. One of those is SOD, superoxide dismutase. There are only two things in the body that can enter into the
mitochondria. One of those is SOD, superoxide dismutase, which is a cleaner. So again, if we're
eating carbohydrates like most of us do, that's going to create some metabolic waste byproducts.
Superoxide dismutase will get that up and it turns it into water upon meeting it. That's a pretty
effective system. Now we create superoxide dismutase at a really good level up
until about 30. And then we fall off a cliff. It's worse than testosterone. It's worse than a lot of
other things that we start to lose worse than NAD. It's worse than a lot of other things that we lose.
And so supplementing with algae has been a game changer for energy for the mitochondrial health.
Next on the list, glutathione, PQQq ubiquinol coq10 somatica.com i'm good homies with the
founder of that that company shervin joffery he's been on the podcast he has one product
that has liposomal glutathione uh again which is going to get in there it's nature's best
antioxidant it's better it shits on vitamin c it's top dog in addition to that pqq and i can't
remember the exact breakdown of that.
What it does is it helps with mitogenesis.
So it's actually helping the body aiding and creating more mitochondria.
We for sure want that.
Then ubiquinol, CoQ10, is an advanced form of CoQ10 that you really want fat-soluble.
So the fact that this is all liposomal, meaning inside a little fat cell, will allow that to get through the gut and get into our body where we can actually digest it and assimilate
that.
Easily, those two alone will change the game.
But the real winner here, and I could spend an hour talking about this, is methylene blue.
And don't take my word for it.
Read this book, The Ultimate Guide to Methylene Blue by Mark Sloan.
There are other books out there.
Dr. John, I just got it.
I haven't read it yet.
That really hammered the same thinking, but a little bit more scientifically.
And my favorite product in using this is Lumital Blue, which contains lutein and a ton of other things.
One of the things that I love from Dr. Andrew Huberman is he says, the eyes are not just
connected to the brain.
When you're inside the womb, your brain pushes itself through your eye canals to create the
eyes.
That means the eyes and the brain are one.
Now, everything in the body is one,
but the eyes have a special connection to the brain
because they're made from the brain itself.
And so one of the things we found out on it,
ETG, my buddy who was in there making supplements with me, found this out.
If you increase vision, any supplement that improves vision
also improves cognitive function globally.
Super important, right?
So this is in there.
This is one of the ingredients they stack with methylene blue. Methylene blue in and of itself is a game changer for mitochondrial
function. And again, you can rabbit hole all that by yourself. Mitazin.com, again, I have no
affiliation with Mitazin, but Mitazin.com contains the very best products I've ever used. There's
little squares you can put in your cheeks and then your teeth turn fucking blue.
And it's funny for a couple of days and then it's not cool anymore.
There's suppositories that go in the poop chute and your body doesn't want it there.
So you might have a little fart that's not a fart and then you fucking ruined your bed
with a blue stain that'll never come out.
I'm talking about a friend here, obviously, not personal.
One of the things they found out at Mitazen is that there are
orals you can take and swallow whole if they're combined with a fat that will actually have
increased the efficacy of the methylene blue better than sublingual, better than,
maybe not better than suppository actually, but better than sublingual.
So I can swallow this thing whole and get a fuck ton of energy and really do a lot with that.
So I highly suggest if you guys want to experiment, you go down that rabbit hole with Midas and
also learn about it.
What is this?
Learn about methylene blue.
You know, it's one thing to take my word for any of this stuff, but if there's something
that gets you curious where you're like, hmm, this one I've heard about and I want to check
it out or I saw Greenfield talking about it or whoever, it's worth it to look into it. It's worth it to understand it for yourself. And I waited to take
this stuff until after reading the book. And then I was like, all right, I'm going to give it a go.
And it is what they say it is. Bioenergetics, last but not least here. And then we've got some
other fun stuff. Everyone's heard about EMS at this point. And for a long time, I thought it
was kind of funny. It was like, oh God, the Wi is going to ruin me and this kind of shit. And it's like,
maybe not right now. The reason for that is different people have different sensitivities
to that, but electromagnetic frequency is not bad in and of itself. It's just electromagnetic
frequency. Now we do better with certain spectrums than others. Uh, and we do really bad with some
spectrums, right? So again, I put the Health and Light book back in here because it really deep dives that.
Sunlight is electromagnetic frequency and it has a full range, right? Hidden reality by,
I'll talk about that one next. The body electric is on electromagnetism and the foundation of life.
This is Robert O'Becker, MD and Gary gary selden that will change your understanding of what the
body is when we talk about the physical body physical fit you have to have a funnel under
a fundamental understanding of the body as an electromagnetic current that that is far different
than just a sack of meat it's not a meat suit and then the invisible rainbow by arthur furstenberg
the history of electricity in life will blow your fucking mind.
It's on Audible.
And the reason it'll blow your mind is because it walks through the history of disease matched with when radio waves came out, matched when TV came out.
And it can go through the whole list of things.
And it's really eye-opening.
And, again, he'll mention in that book, classically, when any new system comes in, there's a small percentage of people that are
more sensitive to it than others, and those are the first people to get hit hard.
We are launching, I think, 200 satellites into the air, so it's worth understanding this stuff.
The more we get away, we're the only species that took ourselves away from the sun and created a
fake version of it.
The only one.
And that has tremendous health consequences.
The reason I include Dr. Ibrahim Karim in this panel of bioenergetics is because he created something called biogeometry.
Biogeometry.ca is one of the most fantastic ways that we can work with EMF and restoring the natural rhythms of life.
And if you go to his website, they sell shit. It's very cheap. You can do a whole home kit.
That'll do 3000 square feet for, I think, 180 bucks. You can get a pendant for not much more.
And these things harmonize the body with a centering energy he calls BG3. So the more 5G,
6G, 7G, whatever the fuck's coming, however many satellites are there, it takes that energy and transmutes it back into BG3, which is a centering, harmonizing energy. And he can prove this in a whole variety of ways that he's done so scientifically in nature, where he shows it on the health of cows and the grass out in Sweden.
And it's on government letterhead verifying the work that he did there when they installed 5G towers and how it changed everything. He's a fantastic human. I'm going to get him on the podcast, but this is
absolutely worth looking into if you really want to understand mitochondria, how they work,
how we increase energy, what's our friend, what's our foe, what is medicine, what's poison.
All right, nature's protocol. This is the freebie. This is just a mock of what you could do here if
you do nothing else.
Your best day of your life started yesterday. It started when you went to bed. It started with
the decision you made to go to sleep early, to not have lights on, to not stay up watching
something that's fucking scary or stay up reading a book that's going to be scary or even something
that would make you horny. I mean, my wife's reading some fucking, what are they?
Here we go.
Sarah J Maas' books.
Now that can be a good thing if you get to hook up,
but prioritizing the sleep most of the time is going to be super important.
And when you get to bed, you wake up,
try to get up before sunrise.
It's a really important thing.
If you can watch the sunrise,
and if you can watch the sunrise,
you're going to reset circadian rhythm for the rest of the day.
This is a travel hack, too.
If you've got to fly to a new country or across the pond or somewhere that's a really deep dive, make sure you watch the sunrise.
That will reset your body's circadian rhythm.
This is all in Own the Day, Own Your Life, too.
Aubrey Marcus' book.
Water.
20 ounces of spring water plus sea salt.
It's super easy.
Movement.
Go for a walk
or do body weight exercise outside. Contrast therapy, this is where you can hit hot, cold
showers. If it's cold where you live, Austin does not have cold showers other than maybe one month
a year. So we're kind of out for that. But then remember, this is the freebie side. And then first
meal, you want 30 to 60 grams of protein and fat. And the reason for this is, as Jack Cruz promotes in the LeptinRx, protein and fat are the signaling macronutrients that tell us when
we're full. So if we can get this in first meal, that's going to reset for the rest of the day the
body's needs. So we're not just saying, man, I need a snack or why can't we eat lunch early?
And we're a prisoner to our own appetite and hunger. And then of course, watch sunset. Finally,
bioenergetics, limit your EMF exposure, limit your screen time, limit your light exposure. Again,
that's all different forms of EMF. But if you limit that at night, that's going to be a huge
positive before you restart this thing next day. That's nature's protocol, optimized protocol.
So you buy yourself blackout blinds. You maybe get a sound machine. It's cold. It's dark.
It's quiet.
You prioritize this.
Okay.
Water.
You get a structured water.
Onolema makes the handheld device.
I think it's 170 bucks.
Or you get a whole home structuring.
Greenfield Systems.
You add a little sea salt.
You take methylene blue.
Again, this is done 45, 50 minutes before the sunrise.
That methylene blue is going to be on point.
You're going to have peak plasma levels in about 50 minutes before the sunrise, that methylene blue is going to be on point. You're going to have peak plasma levels in about 50 minutes. Now, when you watch the sunrise, you're going to get a ton
more of light penetrating through everything that has a photoreceptor, eyes, ears, nose,
and the skin itself. You want to have as much of your solar panels available too
for that sun stack. And remember, you can't burn in the first two hours of the day. It doesn't
matter how fair skin you are. It's a really important time of day to get sunshine. If you
don't, like I said, you're not in a place with sun. A juve light is very important. A juve light,
red light therapies, other ones like higher dose, things like that can be a little cheaper,
but juve light's awesome. There's my dog sounding off because mama's home.
And hot and cold therapies this shit costs money right
like a cold an ice bath you can buy ice i used to do this when i was a broke fighter living my mom's
attached garage we had a horse trough and i'd go three days a week to buy like um 10 20 pound bags
of ice i'd load it all in there i'd fill it with a hose and it worked it worked but the thing would
melt and it was never a real invitation because of how much work it took to do that. So eventually we built our own with a standalone freezer that was on its side. We got
some equipment for 30 bucks on Amazon. That's really in like brewery equipment that would keep
it at the temperature we wanted to be used that. And then that became a pain in the ass because I
had to change out this bad water every month. So we looked into getting a better ones and some of
these can cost up to four grand.
But remember, if you're pressed for time and you want to be optimized, cold baths, you're
getting three to five minutes and you're fucking good for the whole day.
It's one of the fastest ways to reset circadian rhythm, one of the best ways to prime your
nervous system and your mitochondria is in the cold.
If you can afford the sauna in addition to that, or if you can go to a gym or maybe it costs a little bit more like on it to train, but they have all this stuff, sauna,
nice bath. Now you're really cooking with propane. Movement, hit a solid workout. And that solid
workout, like I said, I don't lift weights every day. I might lift once or twice a week.
I go to boxing once or twice a week. I go to jujitsu once a week. I like to run once a week.
I do yoga or some form of
mobility pretty much daily so I can get my stiff old ass to move and actually feel like myself
again. But I'm outside every single day. I go for a walk every single morning. I go for a walk
every single evening. And that starts to prime me to what's happening in the day.
People in the spiritual community talk about light code downloads and all this jazz.
The sun is the light code download, right?
You don't have to get that by connecting to the fifth dimensional Christ consciousness.
Get outside in the fucking sun.
There's the light code download.
Supplements, you're going to take Lumital Blue.
You're going to take algae.
You're going to get the liposomal glutathione like we talked about.
Bioenergetics, biogeometry.ca for a whole home kit and the pendant.
And then a bioat or a higher dose
mat it's really cool so i i lay this you can lay it on the couch you can lay it on a massage table
we have beds upstairs where we watch tv and read books with the kids and i have it plugged in on
one of the beds so and it just happens to be big enough for two of us to be on there at the same
time and so usually it's bearing me sometimes it's wolfing me but we'll jump on this thing
while i read and we're getting blasted with red light. We're getting blasted with near
infrared. We're getting blasted with pulse electromagnetic frequency, the Schumann
resonance, 7.83 Hertz, like grounding to the earth. All of these things while reading a book
indoors, that's an excellent way to stack things that are good for me over things that are good
for the family and things that I need to do for myself. That lowers inflammation. It helps my body reset itself and have optimized levels of electrons,
just as if I took my shoes off outside. So that's optimized. All right, the change you'll see.
The change you'll see. We see on the left here, damn near 270 pounds, not happy, pale as a ghost. And I know where that leads.
I know that very well where that leads. Over here on the right, family, two amazing kids,
the best wife I could ever ask for, a fucking regenerative farm that is an absolute treasure,
118 acre canvas that we get to paint on every day, a deep connection to the land and a deep connection
to family. I'm in the best shape of my life, not for fighting, but for me, I'm in the best shape
of my life health-wise for me right now. I have a deeper connection to nature. I have a deeper
connection to family than I've ever had before. And that matters to me most. I'm also producing
more. I'm connected to the right people. I know if the power goes out that we're fine. I have the
right people to help. And I think that that's something in and of itself. All right. The surprise, baby. All right. For
those of you that are meant to join, and I know this isn't everybody, but for those of you that
are meant to join this year's cohort and fit for service with me in particular, here's a surprise.
If you sign up by Sunday for this class from
Montana, you're going to get to come and have a day in the life at the farm. We're going to move
the sheep and discuss regenerative agriculture. We'll hit a team workout, sauna and ice bath.
This is the shit we do every day at the farm. We're going to talk freedom, sovereignty, and what's
to come in the world that we live in and best practices around that. Is it advisable to take
a course with Tim Kennedy from Sheepdog? Is it advisable to take a course with Tim Larkin out in Vegas? Probably. We'll eat packed lunch.
We'll have a group meditation. We'll clean the chicken stalls and we'll plant something. We're
going to talk about micro agriculture, how you can do this anywhere on a fucking 10th of an acre
on your porch in your apartment. You can grow shit and that will establish some connection
to nature that you can build off of And that will establish some connection to nature
that you can build off of. At the end, we're going to have a community feast with meat from our land
harvested previously, but that's going to be the meat from our land. So if you sign up before
Sunday for this class, that's what you're going to get. You're guaranteed it. It's a free day.
We're going to do this first weekend of May. So here's the receipts from what we do in Fit for Service.
Anybody who stayed in for longer than one trimester, we have 100% of them have made one or more lifelong friendships. So in surveys, have you met somebody in Fit for Service that you
would call a lifelong friend that you're going to have to the end of time? 100% of the people
that have been in for more than one say yes 100 percent 97 percent have experienced
significant emotional healing or spiritual growth that's fucking super high i'm just just say that
right now like you think about like medicine studies and things like that you're never getting
97 percent and 70 percent have had their love life improved so whether they found somebody in the
program or whether they just became a better person and brought that into their relationship, that's typically what happens most.
Those are big.
I can't think of very few things that are more important than that, but those are really
big.
What's in the investment?
So you can choose from a single 13-week trimester.
What we're talking about here is physically fit with Kyle Kingsbury or complete the entire
fit-for-service program over the next two years.
Four grand is what it's going to cost you. Remember, IRS, can you do this? You fucking can. It's $14 a day if you pay for this on credit. Is that worth it? That's up to you.
Full year, three trimesters is going to get a fat $2,000 discount. Two years,
you save six grand, but you got to pay in advance. So I highly recommend, this is our sixth year doing this. And the main difference is that we've mastered the group meetup. We have mastered
putting people through transformative experiences, and we're going to continue to have that.
What we're getting now that's different is you're going to get direct coaching with each of us in
small cohorts where I get to give you my lifelong knowledge on the subject of health and wellness. And that's different from any other year
we've ever offered this. We were listening hard to a lot of our members that wanted to take a
deeper dive and also wanted to be put in smaller groups and still have these fantastic meetups
that we're known for. So we get all that. What's included? Teaching and study hall each week,
three integration calls, and the five-day summit at the very end.
What's not included? Transportation to and from the summit. You must find your own airfare and vehicles if necessary, and lodging is not included.
But you can share, and this is where a lot of these relationships are built.
There's a shit ton of people getting Airbnbs for these events.
You guys get to crash hard together as you're going through the summit together, and that builds bonds you will never forget. Pricing and payment options. Again,
shop pay. Is he here? So you can pay for it in two payments or four payments with 0.0% APR,
or you can do three to 12 months interest based on credit score. And again, if you got the interest,
$14 a day. Do that math and ask if your health is worth it.
Here's the year at a glance.
We've got key dates for spring, fall, and winter.
This is the first one.
Program starts March 12th, actually, for spring 2024.
We're going to finish off at the summit in Livingston, Montana.
And that'll be May 26th through the 30th.
Montana is going to be our second year coming back.
It's about 40 minutes from Yellowstone. It is pristine this time of year. And there's a lot of energy, a lot of big mountain energy. When we talk about connecting the land and connecting to nature, you feel it
right there. Many of you have been to Sedona. That's going to be in our second part of this
year in fall. Sedona has its own energy center. It's its own living, breathing thing. It's its own
ecosystem, its own eco, what do. It's its own ecosystem, its
own eco, what do you call it? Eco field. There we go, Dr. Wotego. And the eco fields change,
but they're all amazing. Finally, we finish in wintertime. That's going to be January 26th of
2025. So we're going to dip in a little bit to next year where we're going to head back to Malibu.
We haven't been there since year one. There is an incredible place there. So
all of these are absolutely phenomenal.
But again, there's no reason to wait. There's absolutely no reason to wait to change your life
right now. And I guarantee you that's what's going to happen. So here's a quick breakdown.
March, we start on the 12th. Classes are 90 minutes every Tuesday. Study halls are about an
hour every Friday. And then we have an integration week in the fourth week where you're going to get an integration call.
And we're going to make sure people are grasping the concepts and actually applying them so no man or woman gets left behind.
If you miss it or can't make it to these times, there's always replays.
You guys have full access to look at this stuff when it's convenient for you.
April looks the same.
In May, we could put up there on the 4th, Saturday the 4th. This is where
if you sign up by Sunday at midnight, you're going to get to come out to the land in Lockhart
and have a day in the life where we deep dive everything I've talked about from sovereignty
and freedom to regenerative agriculture, to permaculture, to micro agriculture. We get to
experience all of that. We get to eat and harvest the things that we've harvested from the land prior and really start to build that community up at the very end of this
month we got our summit and it's going to be nothing short of amazing they all are but these
just keep getting better and better june we got our summits all right fit for service.com
is where it is fit for service.com head there. We'll get into Q&A here.
Whammo, I've just asked everybody to drop any questions they have in the chat.
And the first question I think is great.
You covered a lot of books.
You kind of delivered a lot of information.
I know I could try to catch up to you and read all of these things.
But how is your program set up to help people learn this information?
So the program is set up to be in a way, and even today's class, right?
I try to break this down as briefly as I could with nature's protocol and the optimized
protocol.
You take a screenshot of that and you just start to apply these things that will change
the nature of your mitochondria.
It's going to change the nature of your energy and how much energy you have to get shit done, whether that's business, opportunities,
relationships, mothering, any of these things. You want energy and you need energy for those things.
And that's kind of your very quick takeaway. Let's go. When it comes to the class,
that's why we have 13 weeks. And I'm going to walk people through the things that matter most
and help people fine tune. There is one prerequisite,
and that's because I don't want to have to do it while we're working. You're going to read
how to eat, move, and be healthy and fill out those questionnaires so I learn about your diet
type and I can help you from there. But everything beyond that is going to be taught in a way where
it's self-explanatory. We'll have weekly challenges where we got to get a CGM and we apply that to
back of our arm. We figure out which carbohydrates work, which carbohydrates don't work. I can't see that from a genetic test.
I won't know that from your questionnaire. Only you are going to be able to know that
by eating the foods you normally eat. And then we can say, this is causing high blood sugar.
This is causing inflammation. What food is right for me? What food is poison for me?
We're also going to optimize to the best of our ability. So some of us might be able to buy a juve light. I've got a $10,000 juve light out there.
They gave it to me years ago.
I wouldn't buy a $10,000 juve light.
I don't have that kind of money to just throw around.
So the truth is, what's within our means, we're gonna say yes to that, just like that
$8,000 bed.
What's without our means, there is something we can do on the free side for all of it.
And like I said, the best red light is the sun at sunrise and sunset. So prioritizing that is going to be
better than any juve light. And there's cloudy days and cold days and things like that, but we're
heading into spring here. So a lot of places on earth are going to get nice and sunny. If it
doesn't happen seven days a week, that's fine. If you started watching sunrise three days a week
and you had zero before that, you're going to feel the difference from three days a week. And so a lot of these things we're going to walk each other
through. We're going to make sure everyone's caught up to speed. And by the end of this,
you'll have learned everything that I think that's potent when it comes to mobility, food,
supplementation, sleep optimization, all of it. How do I build a connection to nature? How do I
build a connection and a community with people that know how to take care of themselves?
Are there other people that I know that could teach you self-defense or could teach you what to do in a really shitty situation? Absolutely. That's why I mentioned Tim Larkin
and I mentioned Tim Kennedy. Both those guys are good friends. Tim Larkin's coming on the podcast
shortly. He wrote the book, When Violence is the Answer. So that may be a sour taste in your mouth, but the truth of it is there is a time and
a place for that. And I think the more we agree to living in a world as it is, rather than living
in the world we hope it is, the easier it's going to be to create the more beautiful world that our
hearts know is possible. We have another question from Stephanie andhanie and actually ken what about the hydrogen water
bellow or hydrogen water oh joe rogan i think advertised the hydrogen water on his podcast
you have opinions on that yes so so i have a couple opinions one there was a company called
trusi t-r-u-s-s-i uh they made a hydrogen water machine that cost about 10 grand. They got a lot of influencers to
get the machine via credit, and then they were to pay them back just for having it. And they
started forcing anybody who had purchased it on credit to give these rave reviews about how it
healed MS, how it healed all these things. And it just didn't work. And then there was
some scientists that had actually reviewed how much hydrogen was going
into the water, and it wasn't a lot.
So it really wasn't a good machine.
It didn't work.
And this company screwed a lot of people.
And they were a podcast sponsor of mine.
So I had to take their fucking episode down.
I, too, lost 10 grand.
I was one of the people that fucking signed up for it and got hosed.
So that left a really foul taste in my mouth around the hydrogen water thing.
But I do have a buddy that said, don't throw the baby out with the bath water. Hydrogen water can be incredibly beneficial
for certain people. And there is legit science that verifies that. I think the tablets are fine.
Symbiotica does make some molecular hydrogen tablets. You just toss that in water. It's
usually with magnesium. So if you have too much of an unempty stomach, it can make you shit quick.
So I think before bed, if you were going to do a hard workout, you wouldn't want to have
antioxidants pre-workout. So people think if I take ibuprofen, now I can lift weights. That
ruins the workout, ruins the training effect. Same thing with high-dose vitamin C, glutathione,
any of these things that might allow me to train harder, it's going to take away from the
inflammatory effects that help me get better.
So I would say unless it's performance, like unless you're in a competition or running a
half marathon or something like that, for sure, take hydrogen water then.
But I would save it for days when you're not competing.
And that can be just a general aid.
Now, Dr. Jack Cruz says hydrogen water is bullshit.
He does not say that it's good.
I didn't deep dive that with him. In our conversation, which is coming out tomorrow or the next day, he was podcasting on his roof in El Salvador. And when the wind would come up, I wouldn't hear a fucking word he said. So I really tried to limit my questions to him and just let him rant. And he did a great job of that. But he said hydrogen water was crap. So Jack Cruz does know a lot. He doesn't know everything. And I think if you're called to it,
run the N equals one. That's really what this stuff is all about. I can say methylene blue is
great for you. It does X, Y, and Z. My wife didn't really like it. She got a little jittery from it.
It can do that if you take it with caffeine. So the point is run that N equals one experiment, try something if
you feel called to it. And as long as it's not too expensive, give it a go. And then if it doesn't
work out, cool, they might have a money back guarantee or something like that. But even if
it doesn't, you might be on 50, 60 bucks. You gave it a whirl. You didn't like it. It wasn't
worth it. And you move on. You scratch that off the list. When it comes to supplements and things
like that, it's really seeing what do I need from an essential nutrient list? We can look at that through blood work. What am I low? We look
at that through a hair mineral analysis test. And then from there, we can start to take the things
and get back what we need from a mineral standpoint. We can also start to optimize based
on that. One of the most beneficial things of having these classes as smaller cohorts
is I will get to know each and every one of you.
I will get to know your history, where you're at, what problems you faced, any injuries. I'm going to get to know all this shit. I'm going to get to know you intimately. And from there,
you're going to get personalized programming, personalized things to do for yourself.
Awesome. Excuse me. Is red light therapy harmful for women with implants?
That is a phenomenal question, and I'm not entirely sure on that. The thing about red
light therapy is that it will penetrate up to eight inches into the body.
I know that there are some really good implants that don't leak, but I know most of the people
that I know are doing explant surgeries to have them removed because of the potential of that. So if you want to keep them and they look
great, awesome. That's totally awesome. I'm not sure though. So I don't have an answer for that.
I do know that it is going to go through eight inches. If it can penetrate the skull, it's going
to penetrate that. It does warm the body. It warms up cells. I don't think it's going to warm up
whatever's holding that together, whether they're saline or something like that. I don't necessarily
think it would cause my mom's hot breath. I get them, mom. It may warm them up, but I don't have
the official answer on that as far as will this cause damage? Will this cause leaking?
Yep.
Guys, please put your questions in the Q&A box that's separate from the chat
because I'm switching back and forth
and I'm going to miss some as you get them going.
But there is a potent one.
When it comes to getting rid of habits
and creating good habits,
would you prioritize focusing on one,
like getting rid of your bad habits,
or have a balance of tackling both at the same time?
This is great.
And habits are actually a huge part of the program.
You know, I've worked very closely with Eric Godsey.
He's one of my best friends.
We've been in fit for service from the jump together
for the last five years.
We've also had our spinoff called Full Temple Reset.
We've done four of those highly successfully.
And one
of the things we both hammer over and over again are habit change. People talk about integration
in spiritual communities. You know, how do I integrate this and that? And the truth is,
integration is habit change. Is the thing that I'm doing going to change my life?
I don't know. It will if I actually change my life and implement it. If I start to embody it via habits, it becomes a part of me and I get to live that experience.
That's something I pride myself on above many other guinea pigs out there is that I learn
through experience. I get to learn through the fires of the fight. I get to learn through the
fires of my training and having the privilege of being able to work with some of the very best
coaches in the world. And that means trying it on for size.
And with that, getting back to your actual question, it's very important that we limit things to one at a time.
This is why we have a weekly breakdown throughout the course where we're going to really, you're going to be taught a lot, but we're going to have a single focus point each week.
And that'll be a part of the challenge to each and every one of you who sign up.
And then we'll have this study hall to really see how this is working, how it's not working.
It's going to work.
But what are some alterations we need to make to make it work even better?
So with that, one of the quotes, one of my favorite quotes from Atomic Habits by James
Clear, who was on the podcast years ago.
It's a great book on habit change.
As he says, and this actually might have been, no, it wasn't James. That's a great book on habit change. As he says, and this actually might've been, no, it wasn't James.
That's a great book. Another great book was a different one called Essentialism by Greg McCown.
And in Essentialism, he says, when the Greek word priority first came out,
it wasn't a list of shit to do. It was one thing that mattered the most to you. And everything else
after that was a fucking bonus. Priority was singular. There was no priorities. It was not plural. And so when you really get down to that,
we can start to navigate what is the most singular, important thing on your health journey
to fix right now. That may not come in week one. That may come in week four or week five or week
seven, but it's going to come. And when that comes, that is the most important thing you're
going to do. Everything else is we tighten up here and we make it a little bit better there. You're going to
notice those two, but when we get to that singular priority, that's when you're really going to feel
big differences. And so again, to answer your question, staying with one thing at a time
is far easier to do. And Bruce Lee said, removing the things that aren't good is better than adding
more things that are good.
Every great health and wellness professional that I've talked to from Rob Wolf to Mark Sisson, Paul Cech, one of the first things they say is clear your fucking pantry out.
Go look through there.
And Cech says, don't bullshit yourself.
Everyone bullshits themselves.
Oh, yeah, I eat pretty clean.
I do this and that.
It's like, go through the pantry.
Stop bullshitting with yourself and clear out anything you know that's not good for you. Just right away, take it to Goodwill, do something else with it, take it to
a food bank, dump that shit. You got chickens, give it to them in the compost. They'll make it
good eggs. After that, what do we need to add? So we're giving ourselves the actual nutrients that
we need. What are the most bioavailable foods, right? Like liver, kidney, spleen, heart. Most
people don't like eating that most people don't like
organ meat oysters as it turns out are one of the best pound for pound foods on the planet they blow
fucking organ meat out of the water and um can you find a way to eat oysters probably if you
understand how healthy they are for you but this again will come up in the food you know we want
to add in the nutrients our body's missing while getting rid of the stuff that no longer serves us.
If you have friends or how do you help somebody who has been vaccinated, whatever your beliefs are, clear out their system or is it kind of too late for them? And this person is also worried
about shedding, giving them shingles. So just sort of cleansing the body after that.
Right. So there's a lot of information online. I will say, you know,
one of the very best resources that I, that I, somebody who I loved and followed long before
2020 was a woman named Dr. Sherry Tenpenny. And she has a website that is phenomenal. It really
deep dives this stuff. So I'd Google her name, Dr. Sherry Tenpenny and start to rabbit hole her
material from her website. I guarantee you, she goes through that more than once. There are others who are like-minded who have found different ways to help.
And I think that that is something worth looking into. Again, from a systemic overview,
one of the best things you can do is improve your ability to produce energy. So again,
anything on mitochondria is going to help people point blank, no matter what their thing is.
That's why when you get into The Ultimate Guide to Methylene Blue by Mark Sloan, he talks about cancer, AIDS, COVID-19, a whole host of things that methylene blue can fix.
And if we stop looking at genetics as a reason for disease and we start looking at metabolic function, Cancer is a Metabolic Disease, fantastic book.
A lot of these things start to make sense to us.
If I can gear myself up to produce energy, I'm going to have everything my body needs to naturally
restore itself. If that's limited or it's impaired because of pharmaceuticals or anything else for
that matter, I have to optimize my metabolism as well. Thank you, Kyle.
Question from Cynthia.
Do electric cars impact the function of the electrical systems in the body?
I think it's a great question for electric things in general.
It is a great question.
Undoubtedly so.
Undoubtedly so.
So if you're a mitochondriac, which Jack Cruz calls his fans, it is a 1,000% yes.
Don't do it.
That said, I have friends.
Aubrey Marcus has a Tesla, and he's not sensitive to EMF.
He's also in the sun all day long.
He takes care of himself, and he's highly optimized and everywhere else, so he doesn't feel the negative effects from that.
It is 100% clear, though, that that is an unnatural energy field that you're entering into. And we know this from flying in a tube at 30,000 feet in the air, that that can cause a lot of stress to the body.
Look at airline pilots or stewardesses who have, you know, you can sustain a lot of injury from that.
So, again, if you're optimizing and doing everything else right, you might not notice it, but I wouldn't put myself in that situation.
If I did, I would totally look into biogeometry for the reasons that we've just discussed.
I might even take biogeometry classes.
You can take coursework to find out how to become a practitioner of that.
And I'd rabbit hole the books that I mentioned on bioenergetics.
If you optimize all those other things, you can start to transform that energy field into one that's useful.
And Dr. Ibrahim Karim proved this six different ways in nature.
I have no fear over what's to come when it comes to electromagnetic frequency fields
changing via satellites being 6G, 8G, whatever the fuck's coming because Dr. Ibrahim Karim
exists and because of what he's doing right now.
Phenomenal, Kyle.
Last question.
And I also just want to remind people that your bonus of spending
a day with you out on the farm is closing on sunday for anybody who applies um by that time
and closes in time to start the course and i want everyone to know that the application process is
that you apply and you put in a 500 deposit dollar deposit you get approved and then you get in just so they're aware of that when they
get it through.
As you can see,
Kyle is a wealth of knowledge and also step-by-step he's helped me.
He's helped a lot of people.
I know.
Last question is probably a quickie.
Have you heard of,
or do you have thoughts on the Redox molecule water from a C company?
Have you heard of that?
I have not. i am curious though
you know um in in a lot of these specialized waters like kangen water if you've heard of that
kangen water uh they use electrolysis they use uh they make it very alkaline there's a bunch of
things in there that are supposed to cure diseases and whatnot. And there's science that proves it.
I get weird about that because it's not natural.
Like if we drink from a stream, that is structured water.
If there's a spring that pushes it up an artesian well, that water is vortexed naturally from the funnel that pushes it up through the earth.
And it's already been cleaned out by the earth.
And by the time it gets to you, it's structured. If you take that and leave with it,
it doesn't stay structured for whatever reason. But you can restructure that. But that's going
to be the best water possible. When we start tinkering with things, remember water is a carrier.
It's a carrier of information. And it's a conductor. And it does a whole host of things.
So you can program water in different ways. But across the board, without looking into that,
I'd want to know more about it first to give it a thumbs up or a thumbs down. But across the board, without looking into that, I'd want to know more about it
first to give it a thumbs up or a thumbs down. But I would say getting into structured water,
spring water, especially adding a little bit of minerals back to it via sea salt,
that's going to be your Pareto principle. You do that a little bit, that's going to get you
pretty damn close to all the way there. Phenomenal, Kyle. That's everybody. I love
you. Do you have any closing thoughts?
Closing thoughts. Thank you guys for tuning in. You know, this is not something that I do
often, first webinar. I really appreciate the help of the team. Eric Godsey, I love you, brother.
And I appreciate everybody who stayed to the end and listened. If you are one of the people that's
going to join us, I can assure you it'll be worth your time, worth your money. And if not, I hope
to see you in the future. Love you guys. You'll see him in the library reading a hundred
books. Love you, Kyle. Thanks everybody. Thank you.
