Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome everybody to my 400th podcast and what a perfect time to do a solo podcast. It's actually the beginning of the year right now. I just saw this is a pretty cool thing on Instagram that showed now it's on Instagram, but I've also read this in other places that most cultures believed that April was the first month of the year. And the reason for that is spring equinox is the beginning. It's when life returns to the planet. It actually makes far more sense than celebrating the New Year in the dead of winter
Starting point is 00:00:28 when everything's dead. Now at the equator, you know, not a big deal, but you know, in some of these other regions, it makes a lot of sense that we would celebrate New Year when the spring comes back, when everything comes back to life. So I've always, I'm born right around Equinox too, so that makes sense, March 22nd, only 10 minutes into March 22nd.
Starting point is 00:00:47 So really an Equinox baby. And I always think about that. I'll be talking a lot about that on this podcast. We'll be talking about stuff that I have coming up this year from the launch of my website, which you guys can contact me out there if you guys are interested in some of those things I'm talking about. Just go to kingsboo.com and punch in the contact form form. Hey I'm interested in X, Y, and Z and we'll take it from there. I wanted to be organized so I've got a little list of things
Starting point is 00:01:12 that I'm going to iron out and you know when I think of solo cast because I've had quite a few people asking me like hey dude when's the solo cast? I usually do one of these each year at the end of the year around New Year's which is why I'm talking New Year's kind of has like a refresher of how I felt the year went and Where I'm headed personally and if there's any world shit going on which there's been plenty of then I might throw some of that in there too Really want to talk about today all the shit that I'm giving birth to you know spring is the season of planting seeds and You know we can use that metaphorically, or that can be quite literal.
Starting point is 00:01:45 Like obviously we've got a little market garden here. It's not the biggest thing on our farm. It's actually the smallest, but we really wanna do potatoes. We're doing all kinds of potatoes. We're letting them sprout. Might talk a little bit about that, but we're throwing that shit in the ground,
Starting point is 00:01:58 and we're adding water, and we're adding sunshine, and we're gonna see it grow. And from there, these things come to fruition. So I'm most excited about what's coming down the pipe this year in 2025. Huge changes were made in my life personally last year. We'll talk about those.
Starting point is 00:02:12 We'll talk about some of the ways I navigated a tumultuous time, which largely still is tumultuous financially, but everything's panning out perfectly. Divine timing, you know, so I've, and some good friends that have helped me out. You know who you are. Thank you CN and thank you. And T there we go. Little shout out to the boys for keeping things rolling while the finances are low. But everything is on the up and up.
Starting point is 00:02:37 I'm super excited to be able to talk about the things that I'm gonna I'm gonna deliver this year. You know, as fit for service has morphed into something else without Aubrey, I'll still be a part of that in any way, shape, or form that I can via online coaching, things like that. But I'm really excited to talk about what I'm creating and bring that to you guys here.
Starting point is 00:02:55 And finally, have this thing almost ready. We're looking at launching in May. So I'll really dive deep into that. One of the main reasons I want to do a solo cast is to give you guys something valuable. It's like a webinar. One of the guys who I want to do a solo cast is to give you guys something valuable. It's like a webinar. One of the guys who was kind of teaching us marketing and fit for service was like, Kyle,
Starting point is 00:03:11 I like it, but you're teaching too much. You know, like you don't want to give them everything you want to give them enough for them to want to have more. And for me, I always think back to, you know, Good Will Hunting was such an important film in my life as a young man. You know, you could have got all that for $2.50 in late charges at your public library. Well, yeah, at least we'll have a degree. No, fuck that.
Starting point is 00:03:31 $2.50 in late charges at the public library could have your entire education. Now I like to buy my books. I like to own them. Many of you watch me here in my little soapbox chair for the podcast with all the leather bound books behind me and shit like that. I love that. It's a feel. I love having it. I love being able to reference and go back to stuff like that. I'm super with all the things that Paul Cech has taught me. When you go see that guy's library, it's a fucking whole different level. Like it really is.
Starting point is 00:03:57 It's something special. It's an energy center on his property. It's his library. And I'm working towards that myself. So anyways, lots to talk about there. I wanna give you guys a lot to chew on. The things that work for me, and I'm not gonna feed you from a firehouse, but I wanna really iron out what has been working for me in 2024 that has helped me mentally, physically, spiritually, in every avenue.
Starting point is 00:04:22 What are the things that have really helped me to be the best version of myself? We're going to dive into that. Small beef with my boy, Paul Saladino. We're going to talk about that. And I say that jokingly because he is my boy and I love Paul, his ability to have friendly discussions, friendly debates. He had a great debate with Chris Masterjohn. I think it was like three volumes back in the day on carnivore versus omnivore. And master John is a legend in his, in in a, of his own right. And brought up a lot of great points. And I learned a lot from those podcasts, hearing both these guys talk back and forth, Saladino is not here today, but we have a little discussion to have one way
Starting point is 00:04:57 since he, uh, has not returned my text, uh, after talking a little bit about methylene blue. So we'll talk about that. Um, and of course, Paul, you know, we got each other's numbers. He can hit me up if it really mattered. returned my text after talking a little bit about methylene blue. So we'll talk about that. And of course, Paul, you know, we got each other's numbers. You can hit me up if it really mattered, but I do think the public should ought to hear about this. They ought to be included on the conversation that's behind closed doors. So we'll talk about that.
Starting point is 00:05:15 And in large part, because methylene is a part of the suite of things that I've utilized that has really helped me out in life. And I mean that from an experiential standpoint, very few supplements rank in the way that methylene ranks, especially when utilized properly. What does that mean in the right dosage? Not too little, not too much. That's between a half a milligram to four kilograms per kilogram of body weight. I'll break that back down in a little bit. And then utilize it with fucking light.
Starting point is 00:05:45 It helps with voto-biomodulation. What does that mean? It means it's ramping up the mitochondria and my ability to absorb light. And if I have a red light machine, if I have a bio-mat or a higher dose mat, if I just go outside and watch sunrise and sunset and get sun at its peak, that's another big one,
Starting point is 00:06:02 get the damn sunshine at its peak. We'll talk about these when we talk practices here. Sunshine at its peak is That's another big one get the damn sunshine at its peak. We'll talk about these when we talk practices here Sunshine at its peak is still 50% red light. We learned this in the podcast with dr. Alexis Jasmine Cowan She's incredible We'll link to her in the show notes one of my favorite people She said she's an understudy of Jack Cruz way fucking easier to listen to than Jack Cruz. Sorry Jack We'll talk Jack Cruz today as well all that aside way fucking easier to listen to than Jack Cruz. Sorry, Jack, we'll talk Jack Cruz today as well.
Starting point is 00:06:25 All that aside, 50% of the light that's coming from the sun at midday when it's full power is red and IR. 25% UVA, UVB, 25% blue light. Your body's ability to break that down and take it in and utilize it is greatly enhanced when you use things that enhance photobiomodulation, i.e. methylene blue.
Starting point is 00:06:45 And so I don't have six hours a day. I'm at a farm here. I've got a team working here. And I still don't have six hours a day where I'm outside most days. Some days, yes. And most of us don't, right? If you're working nine to five, you do not.
Starting point is 00:06:56 I don't have a nine to five, thankfully. But most people struggle to get outside that much. And the truth is, I want to know that the time that I spend outside, I'm getting the most bang for my buck out of that equation. From a biohacking standpoint, even though that word is trash, just from a physiological standpoint,
Starting point is 00:07:14 I want to know that my body is responding best in the moments that I give to it when I take a break and I go outside. Or if I take a work call outside, or a Google Meet, or a phone call, or whatever, I'll go for a walk. Any of these things, I want to know that I'm getting the most bang for my buck, the most ROI for my body, my mind and my spirit. Solo cast going through 2024 into 2025. This the true new year. The Instagram, I talked
Starting point is 00:07:39 about this a little earlier, the Instagram post that I saw that talked about April 1st being the actual first day of the year in many cultures and societies around the world who understood spring is here, life has returned, this is the beginning of the year. When those cultures were forced to switch to the Gregorian calendar to make an effort to humiliate people, that's what April Fool's became. April Fool's Day, April 1st, was to make fun of anybody who said that was the first day of the year. So all the people who used to believe or still celebrate in the old ways were ostracized for it,
Starting point is 00:08:15 and that became, that's the birthplace of April Fool's Day. It's kinda fucking crazy to think about it, but it actually makes a lot of sense. All right, there's a little fun fact here. We're gonna talk upcoming stuff for the year, the community I'm starting, the Rising is an event with Connor Milstein, who had on the podcast twice. Connor has been my strength and conditioning guy,
Starting point is 00:08:36 my movement guy for close to a year now, about nine months and change. Has absolutely transformed the way I move as an athlete. I've showed you guys some of this stuff on Instagram. Remember, if you are just now tuning in, I'm back on Instagram at Kyle Kingsboo. I'm posting quite a bit there way more than anywhere else. I occasionally throw stuff up at Kingsboo on Twitter. But Instagram is the way to interact with me if you guys are trying to interact with me and want to say something about the podcast or anything for that matter. If you guys are trying to interact with me and want to say something about the podcast or anything for that matter,
Starting point is 00:09:05 if you want to hear more from me on a certain topic in a solo cast, or if you want a certain guest on my podcast, send it to at Kingsboo on Instagram and I'll see it there first. All right, so we're going to talk to the community. We're going to talk to the rising. That's the name of the event that I'm throwing with Connor Milstein.
Starting point is 00:09:21 It's going to be August 27th through the 31st. So right before Labor Day, right here at the farm in Lockhart, it's going to be movement based. So heavy on the movement side. We're going to try to grease the groove for five days straight on all of his understanding of the body moving, right? So we start with foundations. We get into rotation.
Starting point is 00:09:42 And then finally, weaponization. And these three get cycled up like a spiral and then cycled back down to the course. So spiral out, spiral down. As Connor says, you know, we work from a seedling. The seed sprouts up and down at the same time. Once there's a trunk, the branches come out, the leaves and the flowers. That's level three weaponization. Instead of continuing to push out from there, we cycle back down to the trunk and then
Starting point is 00:10:05 cycle back down to the seat. Foundation, rotation, weaponization, back to rotation, back to foundation. And in that way, we improve all these different aspects of movement. And primal movement patterns, as you may or may have heard me talk about via Paul Cech's work and how to eat, move, and be healthy,
Starting point is 00:10:22 and of course his programs in strength, conditioning, and the body, which are phenomenal. You know, he'll talk about private movement patterns, push, pull, squat, hinge, lunge, twist, and rotation, throwing, all these things are things that we do in nature. These are the ways we ought to train, right? There's no fucking preacher curl. You don't lift up somebody,
Starting point is 00:10:42 you don't pick up groceries in a preacher curl unless you're flexing for some chick at college. It doesn't work that way. Right? A hinge is something we'll use our entire lives. If we lose the ability to hinge or lose the ability to squat, that's where injury happens. That's when we become elderly, we do not want to lose those abilities, right? So keeping those maintained via mobility and via strength. Also access, can I access those positions without being hurt?
Starting point is 00:11:07 Those are all super important things. Connor has his own. isowmovements.com is his own community that's movement based. And Connor has a ton more knowledge that goes beyond movement. But you can check that out. I'll link to it in the show notes. What we're going to do is team up together.
Starting point is 00:11:23 So if you want to be a part of my community and a part of his community, you're going to get $50 off each. My community is going to start at $150. So that'll be $50 off the $150. And his is $250. That's going to be $50 off of his community. And you'll have movement expert, my coach,
Starting point is 00:11:38 teaching you movement. Every week he's giving you stuff. He's got whole courses on the feet, whole courses on shoulder mobility, on the body, in every different aspect. The rope, a lot of people see like Human Timothy on Instagram, it's insane the shit he's doing with the rope. And a lot of those courses are there for free when you have access to his community. Weekly workouts, all that stuff. One of the reasons I wanted to form, because Connor's expensive, one-on-one, as am I one-on-one, but I wanted to form an event with him where we could bring people into this event
Starting point is 00:12:09 who maybe can't afford to work one-on-one with us, but want to get detailed guidance. One-on-one, one-on-20, where we're really looking at, you guys, this small event, we're capping at 20, everyone's gonna stay here at the farm. We're gonna feed lunch and dinner every day while we're here. Breakfast will be on our own,
Starting point is 00:12:25 but it's gonna be pretty freaking simple. And lots of movement going through these practices so that we're able to grease the groove. And when we come out of that experience, now when you go to take the coursework online, you actually know the cues that he's talking about. You know what he means when he says belly button in, broad chest, Superman, rotate all the way through,
Starting point is 00:12:44 and your body's been in those positions. I'll tell you right now, there's two things that come to mind when I think about this. Go to earthrunners.com and use code KKP at checkout for 10% off. That's earthrunners.com code KKP. Earthing shoe options. Earthrunners has collaborated with various ancestral inspired minimalist footwear brands to incorporate their cutting edge IonSync earthing technology on an array of different options. IonSync provides an exceptional grounding experience to align the body's natural energy with the requirements of any lifestyle footwear demands. We're launching our new 15 millimeter thick high performance sandals in May, which is why I updated the versatile usage below. Versatile usage. Earthrunner sandals feature an adventure ready design that ensures you stay
Starting point is 00:13:31 secure and free. Whether you're tackling a day hike in the mountains or picking up fresh, raw milk from your local farmer, peep the raw milk post I just made on Instagram. Perfect timing. All right. In congruence with ancestral wisdom, it's apparent that we need to incorporate more simple nature-based lifestyle practices and outsource less of our life to modern technology. An aspect of modern life that we don't often think about is how our shoes affect the ways in which we interact with the earth. Our ancestors were virtually always grounded. It's only
Starting point is 00:14:02 since the advent of modern insulating souls that we've lost this connection to the earth. Our ancestors lived in constant connection with the earth by going barefoot or wearing leather-soled moccasins or sandals which kept them grounded. Connecting your feet to the earth, a practice called earthing or grounding allows the body to take in electrons which helps to restore our natural electric state to enjoy the myriad of benefits felt while taking in the elements like our ancestors did. EarthRunner sandals feature a copper earthing plug and conductive laces to keep you grounded to the earth.
Starting point is 00:14:32 EarthRunner is an ancestral inspired sandal company which has created minimalist earthing sandals to support a more barefoot experience both physically and electrically. ERs has taken the millennia old footwell design known as the Horachi, which is a simple sole with a wrapping lace, one of the oldest designs in history. Upgraded it with Vibram Soles and earthing technology to give you the most minimalist, natural, and grounded shoe experience you've ever had.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Restore your natural connection with the earth via earthing to enjoy the myriad of benefits while taking in the elements same as our ancestors used to live. Go to earthrunners.com and use the code KKP at checkout for 10% off. That's earthrunners.com and code KKP. The Onnit kettlebell certification I did years ago when I first got to Onnit changed the way that I lift kettlebells for the rest of my life. I used maybe a 12-pound kettlebell for two days straight. I was sore for two weeks, but the amount of reps I got in in two days
Starting point is 00:15:27 changed everything. It changed the motor neuron pathway, the neurons that fire together, wire together, and it did so in a way where now my technique had shifted permanently, right? Same thing going to Thailand, a little bit longer in Thailand. I did two a days in Thailand in 2009 with my old man.
Starting point is 00:15:42 And you know, when I came back, I've never kicked the same since then. Like my kicks been on there's there's before Thailand and there's after Thailand when it comes To my striking ability my Muay Thai specifically kicks knees those kind of things Improved so much from spending two and a half weeks there and doing two days for 17 days That that greased the groove in a different way, right? So these immersives can make a huge difference. Not everybody is, you know, a lot of people have a movement practice they feel pretty comfortable with and they wanna continue with that, totally cool.
Starting point is 00:16:12 What I'll be teaching in my community is about holistic health. Beyond that, really breaking that down, we talk a bit about the four doctors. We talk the principles of Paul Check and how to move me healthy, and we move deeper than that. We get into optimization based on your needs.
Starting point is 00:16:26 How do I fine tune, right? Some specifics of this, which I talked about on the, on the Instagram as well already. If you start with how to eat, move me healthy, and you read about metabolic typing, you fill out the questionnaire, you say, all right, I'm a polar type. My wife's a mixed type. Maybe Wolfie is an equatorial type, whatever that looks like. That's a starting place Okay, then there's checks and balances. There's questions. You continue to ask yourself. Am I starving in three hours?
Starting point is 00:16:53 Probably need more fat and protein right? We're fine-tuning now If I feel lethargic and really want caffeine or something sweet within an hour I probably had too much fat and protein or not enough Lean lean meats and carbohydrates to go with that meal. So we do the checks and balances, we fine tune. But to really fucking know what's happening, get a CGM. You get a continuous glucose monitor, you take all guesswork out of it. Now I agree with Paul, we don't wanna rely on technology
Starting point is 00:17:18 to teach us, we wanna be able to reconnect ourselves to our intuition and have the ability to listen to our body and even deeper, listen to our soul. I'm on board for that. But it makes it a lot easier for me to take the guesswork out. If I know white rice fucks me up every time I eat it. If I know that for a fact then it makes it really easy to say no to white rice. If white rice isn't that bad for me after a fast well I can say all right how long does this last? This lasts about six months before white rice isn't that bad for me after a fast, well, I can say, all right, how long does this last? This lasts about six months before white rice becomes a problem.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Okay, cool. I'll include some white rice. I'll include white rice noodles from Pad Thai, if I'm doing Pad Thai at Thai Fresh. Cool, I know I can get away with that if it's within six months of a fast. And if it only lasts six months, I ought to be fasting twice a year.
Starting point is 00:18:02 That's another thing I would learn about myself in working with something like a CGM. Levels.com, NutriSense.io. I don't have discount codes for these things. You know, the ads that are ads are ads and I have discount codes for those. I don't have discount codes for the other stuff. NutriSense has been on this podcast before.
Starting point is 00:18:20 Levels, of course, started by Casey and Callie Means. Great companies, they both work, right? You'll be happy with either. And that's gonna let you know in the interior what the hell is happening when I consume any type of food. I got a clean energy drink in my hand. They're not a sponsor. There's like 20 grams of sugar in here, in the can.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Not the end of the world, I'm metabolically flexible. That said, there may be a time if I haven't fasted in a while, like longer than a year, where that 20 grams of sugar is a problem for me. And I'll tell you how I know this. I love it when people say, ask me how I know this. Ask me how I know this. I know this because I had done two five day water fasts
Starting point is 00:19:00 before and anybody that's come to Full Temple Reset has heard this fucking story a million times. My apologies. Um, had done two five day water fasts. Thought I was hot shit. Hadn't fasted in probably two years. And what I was noticing this while I'm at on it, I'm lifting weights, Mr. Optimization guy. I'm doing all the things, uh, podcasting with big name guys, having fun doing it. And what I found was that I was starting to get a little heavier and not stronger. Normally, if I
Starting point is 00:19:28 gain weight, it's muscle so I can feel like I'm getting stronger, even if it's a little bit of fat or a little bit of water accompanying that like creatine, you're going to get a little bit of water weight with a muscle fine. What I noticed is my recovery was going down, I was getting sore longer. And I was just like, man, something's not right here. And this is when I got introduced to the world of CGM's. Previously these were very expensive you know when Rob Wolf wrote Wired to Eat they're about a thousand
Starting point is 00:19:51 bucks a piece for a Dexcom. Now they're much cheaper they're much easier to get a hold of so finding that I could get a hold of something like a NutriSense and then that partner you know within the app I could partner with a registered dietitian tell them my goals all right I want you know want to be in ketosis or I just came out of ketosis you know I want to app, I could partner with a registered dietician, tell them my goals, all right, I wanna be in ketosis, or I just came out of ketosis, you know, I wanna see what all these carbs do to me. And then I wanna put on five pounds of muscle. Whatever your goal is, they'll help you with that.
Starting point is 00:20:13 And so this first go-around, for the first two weeks, I ate everything I normally eat, right? That was the whole point. Let's see what the food that I normally eat is doing to me. I'm not on a diet yet, I don't wanna cheat myself out of that knowledge. And what I found was white rice really messed me up. Pad Thai really messed me up. Ice cream messed me up. There's a whole bunch of stuff that didn't look good. French toast,
Starting point is 00:20:33 pancake, pretty much anything with carbohydrates was messing me up with exception to like blackberries. Yams with honey messing me up. All kinds of stuff was putting me pre-diabetic. That's what I mean by messing me up. I was between 140 and 160. Now there's a different measurement there between 140 and 160 in my blood sugar score. Not quite the same because it's interstitial versus you know intra intravenous intra blood. There we go. Blood sugar analysis. It's a little different but it was still in the pre-diabetic range. Not where I want to be at any point in time. This is what was leading to inflammation. This is what was leading to me becoming more sore from my workouts and me getting a little fatter and a little groggier. My metabolism had not been a come and not had a reset button, right?
Starting point is 00:21:17 My ancestors, and if you're white, odds are your ancestors dealt with wintertime. If they dealt with wintertime, they didn't have carbohydrates. This is pre-shipping, pre-refrigeration. Odds are your ancestors dealt with wintertime. If they dealt with wintertime, they didn't have carbohydrates. This is pre-shipping, pre-refrigeration. They only had the carbs that could last them. So that might've been potatoes and stuff stored away, but odds are at some point in the winter, they had to go without. Odds are at some point in the winter,
Starting point is 00:21:38 a guy like me who was a father and a provider would have been giving those potatoes to his wife and kids and going without, which means I'm either carnivore, keto or fasting. And all three of those things do what? They reset my metabolism. So once a year, as a minimum, fasting can do big things.
Starting point is 00:21:54 And it's something that I've continued to lean on. We do full temple reset every January, usually. We had to go in March this year. I loved the group. We had a really small group with me and Eric Godsey. He was awesome. And I realized even with a small group making way less money than I normally do,
Starting point is 00:22:09 about a third of what I'd be paid normally, how worth it is for me to do it, it is still worth it, right? And so, and I use this reference point. After that first fast that I did when I did a fasting mimicking diet, I still had a CGM on. I go back, I had seven slices of French toast, sourdough French toast covered in maple syrup. And I had a
Starting point is 00:22:31 118 blood sugar score or interstitial sugar score, however the fuck you want to say that. And that blew my mind. I was under 120 again and I never went above 120 on damn near anything. Okay. Other than like a mountain of white rice when I was really trying to push it. But I still looked okay, and I still looked a lot better than I had before the fast. So it's important once a year, reset yourself. That could mean going kind of carnivore.
Starting point is 00:22:56 It could mean restricted keto diet. It's gonna be slightly less calories. It could be a ketogenic diet, systems work, three week keto reset diet. It's a great book, keto reset diet, right? Don't stay on that forever. Not many of us are meant to stay on something like that forever.
Starting point is 00:23:09 I can do a ketogenic diet longer because I'm a polar type. Where did I find this out? Dr. William Walcott, metabolic typing diet, how to eat, move and be healthy, Paul Chek. I like having fattier foods and I don't do great with a lot of carbohydrates, but that's also dependent upon how my training, if I'm doing a lot of glycolytic stuff, if I was doing CrossFit, which I don't do,
Starting point is 00:23:30 I would need a lot more carbohydrates than, than what I'm getting from a ketogenic diet. And my performance will increase if I can use that. So there's guys like Louis Villasenor who worked a lot with Rob Wolf on, you know, how you crack, how you hack the code where you can have like 10 grams of dextrose pre-workout as a bodybuilder, burn that up and still stay in ketosis. Ancestrally, I don't think that that's a very good vibe, right?
Starting point is 00:23:53 It's not like our ancestors were, were taking, you know, 10 grams of white, refined sugar underneath the tongue right before they did something crazy. And then they went back to just eating meat. That's not how it worked. So when I think ancestrally, I wanna think about what my body enjoys. I wanna think about what's natural, right? It's probably not natural for me to eat bananas in the winter time.
Starting point is 00:24:13 And, you know, really apply the stuff that I've learned over the years. So really the education, you know, when it comes to my community, it's gonna be a big education on health and wellness because you can't access higher states of awareness without having your body in alignment first. Before you get to chakras, we got to get through the nervous system
Starting point is 00:24:30 before and they're all intertwined. But before we get to higher states of mental awareness, I have to make sure this body's in check. Check talked about that before with the body is a dog, right? If you're trying to have an out of body experience through meditation, Tai Chi or plant medicines, you got to exercise the dog first or else it's going to be barking. It's going to be whining. It's going to say, Hey, you didn't walk me today. Hey, you didn't feed me today. Hey, you didn't give me enough water today. Hey, you didn't give me enough love today. The body is a dog. So love the dog, treat the dog well,
Starting point is 00:24:59 and then you can access higher states of consciousness. And we're going to dive into that stuff too. The mental in the community is going to be a big piece and it's gonna be different from people like Godzi and different from other folks. Really what I come to understand that really matters when it comes to mental stuff is habits, right? Can I take the stuff I've learned about the body and make it a habit so it's no longer a mental exercise and me saying yes to doing a cold bath. It's no longer a mental exercise for me at three, three in the afternoon and I'm like,
Starting point is 00:25:26 fuck, I'm kind of tired. Maybe I should go for a little jog and get sunshine. I've been outside all day. No, if I've been inside all day, I'm gonna get outside. And if I'm gonna get outside, I should go for a little jog. What's one mile gonna do? What's two miles gonna do? It's not gonna beat me up.
Starting point is 00:25:41 Can I get my kids to do that with me? Absolutely, they're in. Okay, cool, we're gonna run to the gate in the back. One mile, super simple. So I've been doing that. I've done five runs in the last 10 days. Body's not beat up from it, right? Taking it easy, listening to the body, right? So those become habits when we do them often enough,
Starting point is 00:25:57 we build momentum. Shervin talked a lot about that in our very first podcast. The difference between people who go far in the world and people who don't the people are going far have momentum, right? If you fall off the wagon with momentum, you're still falling forward, right? And it's a lot easier to get back on the train with momentum because you're driving yourself in this direction forward,
Starting point is 00:26:18 you're driving in an upward trajectory. And you continue to do that. So excited to teach the, the, you know, habits, atomic habits, James Clear's work, stuff that I've really embodied over the years. There's much more in the mental category. And then we get to the spiritual, which is really loosely spiritual. I want to ground the spiritual, I've seen a lot of people in Fit for Service, and in other events, just a lot of people in general, who start to find themselves into a certain category,
Starting point is 00:26:46 maybe they adopt a persona, or they start to look at themselves as this kind of person, and they lose a little footing here in the 3D, right? I want to make sure as far as I go into the astral, on 30 grams of mushrooms or not, on a four day vision quest, no food, no water, which I'll do in October, whatever the means is for me to escape
Starting point is 00:27:04 and go find myself in the astral. Can I bring that back to earth? Can I connect it to my body? Can I make it a part of my daily practice? Can I actually utilize the event that I do, whether that's ayahuasca in the Amazon or a microdose of mushrooms on the farm and bring something home with me? Right? Can I, what is, What is the harvest from that experience? It's very, very fucking important. What am I harvesting from the experience? And if I'm harvesting something from it,
Starting point is 00:27:32 like Chris Williamson said, he goes, one of his favorite American quotes is, does that grow corn? Right? It's like an old timer might say in Texas, right? Will it grow corn? Does it grow corn? You know, it doesn't matter if it doesn't grow corn.
Starting point is 00:27:48 Right? And so if I can have an outrageous experience, that's that's fucking amazing. And I write a book about it. And there's all these things. And I met these beings and it was incredible. And we went to this galaxy and holy shit. And this happened. How did it change me personally is the most important piece there. What did I extract from that that actually use on a daily basis or a weekly basis that has impacted me in a way so much that it changes the way I relate to something in my world relating relationships also huge part. It's a spiritual part. It's why we're here. It's a part of know thyself know thyself is not just a solo game. If it was God would have never split itself into the infinite fractal that has become we wouldn't be looking through a prism right now of light to see all the different colors of light. You know, think, uh, what is that dark, dark side of the moon? Uh, that prism is the game we're in. It's the matrix for lack of a better term. And we get to know thyself through how we relate to other.
Starting point is 00:28:37 And that's the gift of, of the infinite expansion that's taken place in our universe. Multiverse, whatever you want to say. With that, relationships become one of the most important, if not the most important thing in the game. And it is a spiritual practice. I've learned a shit ton in relationships, not just with my wife, but that alone. You know, my wife having gone into an open marriage with me and then come out of that thing alive.
Starting point is 00:29:05 We have not been in open marriage. We don't talk about it much anymore because one of the things I learned in those four years was this is nobody's business but our own. And I was an idiot for talking about it publicly. Even behind closed doors at events, you still get a lot of people, got a lot of shit to say, and they don't really understand. There's nothing I can explain to you guys right now through a podcast that would show you what my life is like. You catch glimpses of it online, but that's Instagram. My life is incredible. It's never been in a better place. And a lot of
Starting point is 00:29:34 that came through the trials and tribulations of what open relationship was for us. That's taught me a lot about my marriage has taught me a lot about myself. I'll give you one clear example from that. And again, when people ask, why don't you do it now? Having spoken to Jamie Weal about this at the time, we were living in our first house or second house in Austin having a podcast. And Jamie said, I told Jamie I'd rather
Starting point is 00:30:00 learn Native American flute than have a girlfriend since I'm married. You want a girlfriend if you're not married, but if you're straight and not married. Having an extra girlfriend while I'm married with kids it just stretched me too thin. It made no sense whatsoever. Once I'd experienced that, I was like, this is fucking lame.
Starting point is 00:30:18 I got no room for my wife, no room for my kids, no room for my job, my vocation. And so Jamie intelligently said he had spoken to many elders, conscious communities built in Costa Rica, all over the world. Dominar has a thousand people. It's not a requirement to be polyamorous or open while you're there, but many people are. And one of the things the elder said was,
Starting point is 00:30:36 you need at least 50 people in a community that are doing the same thing, that are living in that way. That way you've got elders, that way you've got kids, that way you've got the in between. I don't know anybody that has 50 people in the same community doing this shit beyond that. If you don't, there are four things that matter when it comes to this because time is the only a finite resource. That's a value when it comes to this stuff,
Starting point is 00:31:02 when it comes to relationships, one, you can have a vocation, notation not your job not the postal office. Sorry if you work at the post office There's not a vocation, but the thing that lights you up in life. This is why I'm here This is the work that I'm doing. This is what inspires me every day my vocation You can have a primary partner a husband a wife The person you know, that's yours if you don't believe in marriage, but you're like, that's my person, okay? That's your primary. You can have kids, any number of kids, one, 10, anywhere in between.
Starting point is 00:31:31 If you have kids, you're a parent. If you're kids at any age, if they're not, if they're not out of the fucking house, you have kids. And you can have extra partners. Choose three of the four. So Jamie Will told me, and I was like, woo, man, that makes sense. And I went backtracked. I went back and I looked at it like Chris Ryan doesn't have kids. And I
Starting point is 00:31:50 started going through all these people that I've been learning this shit from. Most of them don't have kids. And even the ones who do right seem to have a whole different way of living. You know, like they're ultra wealthy, they've got a fucking nanny and a live-in chef. And the kids are off at private school and all this other shit. So like, ah, she can stay home and write books
Starting point is 00:32:11 and bang dudes is research. Not gonna say names here, but point being, anybody that's made that work, or at least the appearance of it working, usually has three out of the four, right? They don't have all four. I've never seen all four work. I having my own experience with it. Four bled me fucking dry and I didn't want to be, I didn't, that wasn't for me, right? It wasn't for me. But there
Starting point is 00:32:34 was value in that experience. And the value really came from the fact that, you know, people that I learned from Wednesday Martin, Chris Ryan and others, they said, usually men have the problem of is he's is his dick bigger? Is he better in bed? Is he make you does he like make you laugh more? And women have more of the emotional thing? Do you love her? You know, that kind of shit, right? I experienced all of it. I experienced every every single fear you could have all the do you love him? Is he bigger? Do you, oh, I can't stand it when he makes you laugh. All that shit I had, I had to come up against that. And what I learned through the experience of her having a boyfriend, my wife
Starting point is 00:33:11 having a boyfriend and actually befriending him, was that every fear that I fucking had was a fear of, am I good enough? 100% of it. It didn't matter what the question was, a cock size, a dance move, a fucking, his sense of humor. It didn't matter what the question was. A cock size, a dance move, a fucking his sense of humor. All of that was a reflection of am I good enough? And it took me two years to fucking figure that out. Two gut-wrenching, painful, hard years to figure that out. It was the ceremony of all ceremonies. I don't recommend it for everyone. It was the ceremony of all ceremonies. I don't recommend it for everyone.
Starting point is 00:33:45 And understand when you're saying yes to something like that, these are the potentials you're gonna experience, right? Aubrey and I were serving hape one night, well, I was serving hape one night at a party. And people started throwing up. And part of the issue was, I hadn't explained all the potentials of hape.
Starting point is 00:34:04 Like you can throw up from this, even if you're dead sober, right? But we're doing other things. Probably potentiated that. And so the problem was we didn't let it lay it all out there. And I think a lot of people that are talking about open relationship polyamorous relationships, they got three out of four if it's working on some level. They don't have four out of four. And they're not laying all the fucking potentials out there, right?
Starting point is 00:34:28 You know, people love to show you what's working, you know, online when it's working. They don't want to show you into the nitty-gritty of what's hard and what's challenging. And there's other people who are just constantly, and this is my challenge, this is what I'm working on. This is the shadow work that I've done. And oh, man, this is the uphill trajectory that I have for growth, but it's going. And that's what you see online, right? But it's never the full truth.
Starting point is 00:34:50 So you know, it could ever understand the full truth until they live the experience for themselves and know what their truth is. All that to say that was a huge upgrade for me to recognize that every one of those fears was a reflection of my own lack of belief in myself. I couldn't have been taught that from ayahuasca. I couldn't have been taught that from fucking anything else that had to come from that pressure system. Seeing my wife with contrast of other allowed me to see her more clearly than I've ever seen her in my life. Seeing
Starting point is 00:35:22 her as my fucking person, you know, somebody that I've ever seen her in my life. Seeing her as my fucking person, you know, somebody that I've gone through so many, you know, what seemed to small at the time, but big changes, you know, when you decide to change your diet with your partner, that's a fucking big deal. It's a really big deal. People hold on to diet, they identify with their diet, what are you saying, I don't eat well, why can't I have this? You're saying I'm fat, all that shit goes, it goes both ways. The fact that we
Starting point is 00:35:48 leveled up our consciousness via eating via reading, how do you move me healthy together, filling out this questionnaires together over and over again, refining. That was a big deal. You know, right, recognizing we're always going to be attracted to other people. That doesn't go away just because you fucking put a ring on somebody's finger. We're always gonna be attracted to other people that doesn't go away just because you fucking put a ring on somebody's finger We're human beings right? That's that's an important thing to recognize and it's important to be able to talk about I love being able to talk about that with her and
Starting point is 00:36:14 And that too levels us up There's so many things that we've done where we've come together where there was our first time drinking ayahuasca together or Or some of the more challenging pieces and open we're like, hey, I don't know how to communicate well. I can see I have some deficiencies here. Let me read non-violent communication. Let's read the mastery of love together. Let's go through that book. But that was a huge upgrade for us to read that book together and read it out loud. We would discuss, you know, what do we agree with? What do we disagree with? How close are we to matching this? Are we there yet? What do we need to do to get there? And I love the new I love doing that with my wife was such a big one. Alright, so
Starting point is 00:36:52 those are relationships, we're gonna talk relationships in deep, deep detail in the community. And we're going to get into nature, nature is one of the best ways to ground spirit, to ground the astral and to take all of the medicine that we get from these big deep dive experiences and put it into actual practice is to grounded in nature. And that means having a relationship with nature. I recognize most of you listening to this aren't farmers and
Starting point is 00:37:17 you're not going to have a farm. You don't have to when I lived in my mom's fucking garage for five years while I was in the UFC. I put at least eight trees in the ground, maybe a dozen trees in the ground. I had a market garden going on all the way down her driveway. That was like it was a massive market garden. Somebody came and cut away our pumpkins in the middle of the night and our watermelon walking by. And my Tosh was fucking heated about that.
Starting point is 00:37:42 It was pretty hilarious, I thought. But they needed the pumpkin more than us. You can grow this stuff anywhere. If you had an apartment, you can grow food. And that's one way. Growing your own food, putting a tree in the ground, taking care of something that's other than you in the 3D is one of the ways you start to build a relationship with nature. And with that, being in nature, right? You could live in the city. When I lived in the suburbs in Austin, there was a little place in a metro center where there's a bunch of industrial park and they left this wide open field, they changed it into a disc golf course. So first thing in the morning, I'd get out with my dog and my son and we go walk this two and a half mile walk out on the disc golf course before anybody
Starting point is 00:38:25 came out there and we did it daily right we do it in the evenings and there's people playing but we just wait you know we move around them we make sure that you know hey no big deal nobody's going to yell at me anyways or at least nobody did yell at me for being on the golf course without uh you know without doing anything disc golf that for that matter but that was a way to get into nature we saw red cardinals we saw carcars um Cooper's hawks, all sorts of cool shit, turtles, snakes, everything. Like that was a way to be in the thing. And it took us five minutes out of our direction
Starting point is 00:38:54 on the walk in the suburbs to get there, right? Finding a place to go that's close, that you can access regularly and start to engage in that consistently, that builds a relationship with nature. That's a way to clear the mind. That's a way to create space within the body. Meditation is obviously a huge part of this.
Starting point is 00:39:10 That'll be a part of the program with what I've learned from many great people. But we can create spaciousness, a sense of spaciousness, even when life is crushing us, even when all things are failing, even when I lose a giant six figure salary overnight, I can still hold that space and see things clearly. You know, the fight game is not much different from life. If I'm getting battered and I am, my nervous system's off kilter, I get
Starting point is 00:39:37 tunnel vision, right? All fighters get this. Anybody who's ever been in a fight recognizes that. Holy shit, I'm scared. I can only see right down this little tube. And as soon as the fight starts going my way or I start to relax between rounds or my coach slaps me around Hey, you're dude. You got tunnel vision. Okay. Oh shit Boom my vision opens back up right? Well, how do I create that in the 3d? I do it through meditation
Starting point is 00:39:58 I do it through learning how to Attenuate the nervous system right? There's a thousand ways we can get into that. I do it through breath work. I do it through looking to expand consciousness via being in nature. When I can connect outside, that is lifting and it's opening. And these are things that we ought to be participating
Starting point is 00:40:19 in more as much as we can. And if we can do that, that has a profound benefit that goes far beyond just how I feel inside, right? That's how I react to life now, right? If I'm in an open, calm, peaceful state and shit, it's the fan, I'm going to respond to it far better than if I have tunnel vision when shit hits the fan. Parenting, relationships, all these things happen better when I've tended my own garden. Right? And a lot of what we're going to get into in that community is tending the garden. So this is going to launch in May. I'll leave it there for that. We've talked long enough about it.
Starting point is 00:40:53 Go to kingsboo.com, hit the contact form and say you want to sign up. It's going to be $150 a month. If you want to sign up for mine and Connor's, mention that as well. You'll get $100 off total, 50 off mine, 50 off his. And then our event, the next thing we're doing at the farm, we're calling it the Rising. It's going to have its own webpage very shortly. That'll be with me and Connor Milstein here five days straight. I'll be teaching and providing a lot of visceral experiences of the things that I'm talking about today while we're also teaching the body how to behave differently,
Starting point is 00:41:26 while we're teaching primal movement patterns in a way that actually shifts the way we move and operate in the 3D. From that point on, you will change your life for the better in five days of moving differently, I guarantee it. And you're going to learn a lot while you're here. I'll be teaching quite a bit. Connor's going to be doing a lot of the body stuff. I'll be his secondary, and then that's going to reverse. And I'll be doing a lot of the teaching stuff. I'll be his secondary and then that's going to reverse.
Starting point is 00:41:47 And and I'll be doing a lot of the teaching and he'll be my secondary for about 50% of the rest of it. So very excited for that we are going to harvest an animal here and eat it. Very excited for that we talk about what is the healthiest food on the planet. It's the food that you've given love to. It's the food that you raised is the food that's closest to your long latitude and longitude, right? It has the energetic signature of your son, of your soil of your rain, right? All of that's there for that animal. And when you
Starting point is 00:42:12 consume that you're consuming exactly where you are in space time. That is a tremendous benefit to the body. So we're going to get to do that. All right, stuff that I swear by. This is important, right? Every year. I continue to fine tune this. And in large part, this is, you know, having a list of this shit from my fight career where if I learned anything in fighting, it was how to listen to my body. And the reason for that was I love to party. I came from the number one party school in the nation.
Starting point is 00:42:47 That included cocaine and ecstasy and all sorts of fun shit and even you know, fucking press tabs in the suppository and the poop shoot. I like doing shit. I like trying to fucking smoke to Red Rock Opium before the pool party and just floated in the pool. I've done a lot of shit I wouldn't want my kids to do. And a lot of shit I wouldn't recommend to people. But you know bringing that into mixed martial arts, the attitude of like go for it, I would find out very quickly how does this impact me for the next day of training? How does this impact me for the next week, for the next month? And I learned very quickly I couldn't
Starting point is 00:43:19 do away with, I couldn't do alcohol if I wanted to be have any kind of cardio. Couldn't do it in camp, really couldn't do much of it outside of camp other than a few like blockbuster points. All right, fight night, we're going for it, that kind of thing. And there was this fine tuning that happened via changing my diet. That's when I first learned about Paul Chek
Starting point is 00:43:38 was when I was fighting pro prior to the UFC, continued to work on that throughout the UFC for six years, eight years total. And I started gathering tools, right? I gathered the Kelly Stret mobility stuff. I gathered the Wim Hof breathing and the cold plunges and the sauna therapy from Dr. Ronna Patrick and all these different experts and I applied it. The application of this stuff is so much more important than what you've read about it, right? Does this work for me is a question only you can answer for yourself, okay?
Starting point is 00:44:07 Does it work for everyone? Yeah, sauna unequivocally works for everyone, right? We've got the data to show that, but do you enjoy it? Is this something that you'll do every day? Is it something you can make a habit of? That's only you can answer that. So, as I dive in here, stuff that I swear by, this is the shit that I'm really into right now.
Starting point is 00:44:24 And I'll give a little background on some of this stuff. Um, we had, uh, Dr. Mike to board on this podcast. He's come on twice. He has his own company for blood flow restriction. BFR is, uh, what you might heard of that then it's called B three sciences. So I'll give you a direct link in the show notes. If you want to buy with my affiliate link, you'll get a discount.
Starting point is 00:44:44 Blood flow restrictions has been around. It's been around for about 30 years. It's been studied in large part from the Japanese scientists. And what it is, is it's something that goes on like blood pressure cuffs around your arms and your legs, and it reduces the venous return to the heart. So it's not so tight that it cuts off circulation. Your arteries are still able to pump through the extremities,
Starting point is 00:45:05 but on the way back through the veins, it slowed down. And in doing so, that creates higher metabolic waste buildup, higher lactate. So you're pushing lactate threshold. Because of the fact that you're pushing lactate threshold so early on, you're tripping fast twitch fibers and slow twitch fibers simultaneously. And the board explains all the science in these podcasts
Starting point is 00:45:25 But if you don't listen to that, I'll give you a quick breakdown of it It is unique in the fact that it can train fast twitch and slow twitch simultaneously It is unique in the fact that it's creating due to the lack of blood getting back a hypoxic environment I learned from Victor Conti and early on in my fight career how important altitude training was as a fighter It's one of the reasons I'm so freaking veiny even now at 43. I have kept my veins My my cardiovascular system has improved tremendously from years of sleeping in an altitude tent and training in an altitude simulator The machine that I had for my epoxy co is four thousand bucks and you got tubes and shit running everywhere Blood flow restriction is far cheaper than that.
Starting point is 00:46:05 And the great thing is I can go for a run on it. I can go for a run outside. I can hit bags, I can hit mitts, I can move around. I have no cords attached to anything. I just have these guys on my arms and legs. And with that, I can do plyometrics. I can do a whole bunch of cool things. And if I do that in a hypoxic setting,
Starting point is 00:46:22 my return on investment is far, far greater, not just from a muscle building standpoint, but from a fat burning standpoint and from a hormonal standpoint. So performance enhancing drugs, I've talked about my use with testosterone. I love testosterone. I'll probably be on it till I'm an old timer. Low dose of testosterone is phenomenal for me at 43 years old. It's helped me a ton.
Starting point is 00:46:45 But when we talk performance-inducing drugs, many of those have side effects that I don't want. I don't want to burn the candle. I don't want to increase risk of cancer via HGH and whatever potential issues there might be. IGF-1, LR-3, those kind of things. What I have here with B3, or B3 Sciences and blood flow restriction,
Starting point is 00:47:02 is you get a dramatic increase in growth hormone. Naturally, it's a big surge. It happens while you're working out, and it happens at night when you go to sleep and you're repairing everything. That's huge. It's huge because growth hormones is what's gonna keep you young.
Starting point is 00:47:15 It's gonna repair tissue. It's gonna help with cognitive function. It's gonna help with fat burning. It helps with so much. And it's still within the realm of natural, right? I'm still, it's still a surge of what would be natural for my own body. And I love that. These workouts are meant to be short 20 minutes a piece max when I do blood flow restriction, when
Starting point is 00:47:35 you guys see me on Instagram doing like boxing, kickboxing, that kind of stuff. That's the longest workout I have with those might be 40 minutes. Right? It's not long, it's not meant to be long. And most of the benefits show 20 minutes is, in fact, the best. If you were doing strength training, you'd want to do 20 minutes. What's cool about Dr. Mike DeBoer and B3 Sciences is that they have a full library of workouts.
Starting point is 00:47:54 They can show you how to play pickleball with this shit on. They can show you exercises on how to improve your 40-yard dash. Mike's son shaved 2 tenths of his 40 off using blood flow restriction and doing some sprint work. They've got free videos on YouTube, lots of cool shit there. Blood for restriction absolutely works. It's one of the reasons I can stay in shape without training my ass off. All right guys, quick break to tell you about VIA. VIA is a phenomenal new company that's making all
Starting point is 00:48:24 sorts of incredible things. If you're 21 and up, try Viya during their annual spring 420 sale for Black Friday level savings up to 35% off site-wide. Go to viya.co slash kkp and use code kkp. All right. This is one of the coolest companies that I've heard of.

I do Connor Milstein workouts twice a week. Sometimes I'll throw those on at the end. Sometimes I'll wear those for the Connor Milstein workouts twice a week. Sometimes I'll throw those on at the end. Sometimes I'll wear those for the Connor Milstein workout. And I usually wear the BFR at least twice a week
Starting point is 00:51:30 while I'm doing kickboxing and Muay Thai. And sometimes I'll add in some strength and conditioning at the end of that if I really wanna blow out. That's four times a week that I'm actually working out. Now I walk a lot, I'm outdoors all day long, not all day long, but much more than most people. I do some farming activities with the boys when I can and my time permits and all of that improves metabolism as well. Right. So when we're talking about physique and these things, it has to be a part of the conversation.
Starting point is 00:51:53 It's not like I just work out for times a week and sit on my ass the rest of the week. I'm always moving. Excuse me. There we go. MMA. MMA is a big thing that I still love. I love watching the sport. I don't get to see it all. I don't even get to see it all because of the fact that coming from the West Coast to Central Time,
Starting point is 00:52:18 it's a little bit of a bummer. You know, I was used to getting done with the fights at 10 a.m. or 10 p.m. and now the fights end at midnight. So I really got to be into it to want to stay up to watch it. But I still love it. You know, I coach kids jujitsu. Kane Velasquez came out here. It was one of the coolest things.
Starting point is 00:52:33 He's obviously serving out his sentence now. He came out here right before his sentencing date. We taught at Gracie Humida for the kids. We taught at Legends Brazilian Jujitsu, Tim Kennedy's place. He podcasted with me and Tim Kennedy. Link to that podcast in the show notes. And I think a lot about that, you know, his influence on me as a person,
Starting point is 00:52:53 as a man is really remarkable. And I'm not sure if I got to say it to him on this podcast, but Rogan always says, iron, iron, iron sharpens iron. Iron, I don't fucking iron sharpens iron, iron. I don't fucking know what he says about iron. God damn it, what is it? Something to that effect, iron sharpens iron.
Starting point is 00:53:15 Being within the fact that, you know, I never was a world champion, but I was surrounded by world champions. I was surrounded by the best guys in the world. I got to live with Chuck Liddell for two camps. We had Luke Rockhold, Dana Cormier, Habib Numerga-Menof, and Kane all become world champions, all guys that I trained with at AKA.
Starting point is 00:53:29 And Kane, DC, and Luke were people I actually sparred and trained with daily, right? These were my everyday training partners. That forced me to get better, and it didn't matter how much better I got in the fighting. That's a short career, eight years. But it gave me a will, and it gave me perseverance will and it gave me perseverance and it gave me things. You know, we talked about this with Kane, the glass ceiling was shattered so many
Starting point is 00:53:51 times and I really got to give Kane credit for that because he was such a fucking animal in the gym that if I didn't become better, I would have been his punching bag. You know, that's all it would have been, you know, so I have immense gratitude for Kane, immense gratitude as a friend, but also as a teacher, right? Fighting was a teacher for me and not just in the ways of the education that I gave myself, but in the intangibles, you know, in that push and that drive and desire to go forward. And I think it
Starting point is 00:54:19 uniquely can help us with that. So I love Jiu Jitsu for kids, I love Jiu Jitsu for adults. I think there's very few things where, you know, like, there's an application of pressure that can be applied literally and figuratively in a jujitsu match that cannot be matched in pickleball. I love pickleball. It can't be matched, right? It's only a certain of like, holy shit, this guy's going to rip my arm off or damn it. He's got my back and he's going for the choke and I got to defend it. That only happens in that sport, right? I think it's very important that we put ourselves in positions like that because that squeeze is the ultimate squeeze
Starting point is 00:54:53 Right. It's the ultimate ringing out. It's the ultimate test of who we are on the inside, right? The intestinal intestinal fortitude as a football coach would say how much intestinal fortitude do you have right? You only get to find that out when you put yourself in a pressure cooker, like mixed martial arts or any form of martial arts for that matter, where there's hard sparring jujitsu, of course, being one of those Brazilian jujitsu. All right. What else has I've been into walking sunshine meditation on the bio mat. I think these are crucial. Um, I walk every morning with our dogs at least two miles.
Starting point is 00:55:26 Usually with the boys, we have a little conversation about what's going on for this day, that kind of stuff. We shoot the shit. I'm out in nature. It's not at sunrise. It's shortly after and I'm getting fresh air. I'm opening up the body. Morning movement, right? Aubrey talked about this in Own the Day Own Your Life. Tall glass of water with or without lemon and some salt. Get outside and get morning movement in. Right? Well, I can tackle all that right when I get up pound my water and get outside for this walk. It's really important to do that whether you have a dog or not. But it's a great excuse to get a dog to then have to go walk the
Starting point is 00:55:58 dog right twice a day, right? That's going to put you out three times a day. Hopefully, every big meal you have take that dog outside for a little walk When you're done, it'll improve digestion. It'll improve your spaciousness of your interior It'll help you reflect and think about the day before you hit the sheets Which ultimately is what helps with sleep if I can get on a walk and process and digest Some of my daily stuff of what has to come or what has already come That makes it a hell of a lot easier for me to close my eyes and not off, right?
Starting point is 00:56:27 It becomes routine for me to do that if I've given myself the space during the day to actually reflect. And doing that while walking not only improves digestion of the food that I eat, it improves digestion of my processing power of what I'm consuming through the mind. Super important. Sunshine, again, Dr. Alexis Jasmine Cowan. In the show notes, that podcast, one of the most important podcasts that I've ever done. I can't wait to have her back on. One of the most important books that I've ever read, Health and Light by John Ott. OTT, I recommend that to everybody. There's a free PDF online. It's about a $300 book. It's been out of print. So get the PDF or if you're a savage like me,
Starting point is 00:57:07 spend the 300 bucks and fucking have the work of art that is Health and Light by John Ott. Light Medicine of the Future, Dr. Jacob Israel Lieberman got to podcast with him. He's 77. He's a fucking G dude. He's one of the best. The understanding of that, you know,
Starting point is 00:57:22 if you want the science, Alexis Cowan will give you that. She's a PhD from Princeton. If you want story and everything that, you know, if you want the science, Alexis Cowan will give you that. She's a PhD from Princeton. If you want story and everything that goes with it, then John Ott's book and Jacob Lieberman's books are very worth reading. More on books, and then we're going to dive into some of the stuff, you know, some of the last few things here that I have. And then we'll finish with just a few more thoughts or some random thoughts here. So this is good. All right. More stuff that I love. My wife has gotten me into fiction. As I stated, you know, when I was fighting, I had to learn I couldn't just sit and play video games in between. And I had to
Starting point is 00:58:01 practice so I didn't just buy becoming a supple leopard and thumb through it. I got in as many positions as I could where my body needed it. And I had to practice. So I didn't just buy becoming a supple leopard and thumb through it. I got in as many positions as I could where my body needed it. And I practiced those positions for mobility. I went up and saw Kelly Sturrett in San Francisco, you know, and actually had a session with him and Carl Paoli. I did as much as I could to embody the things
Starting point is 00:58:18 that I was reading and learning. And I got full. I got to a point where I was like, man, I just don't want to consume more nonfiction and actually had this conversation with check when he was here last sitting in this seat And he said, you know, you've earned that you've you've earned the right to fuck off And sometimes when we get to that point where we're full we need to change it up And so Tosh had the deep dive into the smut world. She's like all the girls are into this shit Let me try it and she actually fell in love with it and her addiction to it was made me go holy shit
Starting point is 00:58:48 I wish I had something like that where I was as addicted like dune. I love dune Uh, can I get I get a book series? That's that good. And so she turned me on to red rising She turned me on to brandon sanderson's work. She turned me on to patrick rothfuss all those things and I chewed through them They're the best. I still have more in the Sanderson game to go. I finished right behind me here, all five of his big ones from the Stormlight Archive. He's only halfway done. He's got five more he says he's going to write.
Starting point is 00:59:14 That's remarkable. I mean, this guy is legendary. And the books are legendary. I still got to get through the two Mistborn sections. There's seven books total. But then I thought, why don't I try the Smut books? Why don't I try the thing that actually got her into it? And let's see what all the hype is about.
Starting point is 00:59:30 Let's see if it translates past just women's thinking and something that women would enjoy. And so I read Akatar, A Court of Thorns and Roses. The first book, A Court of Thorns and Roses in the series was pretty good. It wasn't terrible. I didn't mind the sex scenes, you know? It was kind of lovey-dovey and romancey,
Starting point is 00:59:49 but the story builds. And by the end of the story, you're like, oh shit, this is just, a lot of stuff's happening here that I didn't expect. It's getting juicy. And not just in a sexual way. Like it's getting juicy in a meat and potatoes kind of way. It's getting juicy in a story building way.
Starting point is 01:00:05 By book two, you're like, holy shit, this blows book one out of the water. It was worth not suffering, but just making my way through book one. So I can get to book two. Book two was absolutely incredible. Book three, also incredible. Book four is really small. It's a little novella and five is my favorite fucking book of all time from Sarah J. Moss. It is absolutely awesome. The sex scenes in it. I don't know. Like I didn't say this on Instagram, but it was like, I don't know. Like she's a fucking beast in the bedroom without she's talking about this stuff. I mean, she's, she's, I don't even want to ruin it for you guys. Like if you listen as a man, like, Ooh, it's full throttle. Holy shit.
Starting point is 01:00:43 Where's my wife? It's game on. Like that's how good she is at writing. And the sex scenes in book five. I mean, I don't they don't get old. You're not like, Oh, God, this again, you're like, Whoa, wow, finally. I'll give you an example. I told I told Tasha said, Is there ever a point where she's just like, God, I just want to bury my face in this dude's lap. Does that ever cross her mind? Or does that not enter into the female ethos? Is that not a part of the mainframe of how women think?
Starting point is 01:01:10 And she's like, just wait, just wait. Then book five comes along and I'm like, Oh God, it's even better than I could have imagined. Even better. So those books, are they worth reading Sarah J Maas? Full fuck yes. They're absolutely worth reading. They're awesome. Now I went back to Throne of Glass, which is what she started with at 16 years old. She started this book series at 16. Thank God they're not as juicy in the sexual way because there would have been
Starting point is 01:01:35 problems if she knew the shit that she knows now back then. But that said, they're phenomenal books and to see that this she was a 16 year old girl when she started throwing a glass, she's brilliant. Like absolutely brilliant. I'm through, I think the third book now, and that's out of seven. They're also gonna continue, she's gonna continue to write for that series. And then I'm gonna dive into Crescent City.
Starting point is 01:01:56 Those are thousand page books. She's got three of them. Those are big like the Sanderson Stormlight Archive. So if you're looking for fiction, if you're looking for something to change, you know, what your intake is of information, if you've had enough of the nonfiction, if you can't find good shit on TV, I promise you,
Starting point is 01:02:12 every book that I just listed here from Red Rising, it blows any fucking TV show out of the water ever. There's, if you like action and adventure, nothing fucks with Red Rising, period, period, period, period, period. No movie will ever come out that even sniffs Red Rising's ass It's that good if you like action and adventure If you like face shit and magic and sex scenes and all that Sarah J. Moss's work is phenomenal
Starting point is 01:02:35 She is absolutely in the league of her own so I highly recommend that stuff now Let's get into what I talked about at the very beginning this podcast. I talked talked about my boy, Paul Saladino. Now again, I'm gonna have a sip here. I'll switch out my banger. I love Paul. Paul, you know that I love you. But, you're waiting for the but. Sometimes people, how do I word this? Nicely. The first thing I thought when Paul was speaking out against Methylene Blue was, stay in your lane, Paul.
Starting point is 01:03:11 Stay in your lane. And then I thought that doesn't make sense either though, right? What is Paul's lane? What is my lane? Right? I actually love expanding lanes. I love getting outside of my lane, getting outside of my comfort zone and learning about new shit. That's one of the beautiful things of life is the novelty of it. Right. So don't stay in your lane, expand your lanes. Right. But when you expand your lanes, know what the fuck you're talking about before you start talking about it. And so a perfect example of this is I had many friends send me a screenshot of a post from my brother Robert Breedlove, who's been on this podcast, Bitcoin guy, awesome dude, he's been on Aubrey's recently as well, where Sal Ladino had written him, Hey, all that looks great, but ditch the methylene blue. So I write Paul, who's a buddy, what's
Starting point is 01:03:55 your beef with methylene blue? Get it? Carnivore guy, carnivore doc, what's your beef with methylene blue? And he goes, Well, it doesn't work. It doesn't really work for people with good mitochondria. It can injure them. And it only really works for people with bad mitochondria. This is me shaking my head no, if you're listening to this. I go, I've read two books on it. I've read many studies.
Starting point is 01:04:20 I've been listening to Luis Gonzalez, who's been studying this at UT Austin down the street from where I live, and I've never heard anyone say that ever. I must have bad mitochondria because I feel fucking great on it. And his response is, instead of talking about why it works for some and not for others, which makes no sense, he says, you see Kyle, it's an MAOI. And because it's an MAOI, the reason you feel good is probably because of the increase in serotonin. Well, let's just say the conversation has begun now. I understand what MAOIs are because even though I'm not a medical doctor that went
Starting point is 01:04:59 through Paul's training, I've sat with ayahuasca 30 times and ayahuasca, the vine of ayahuasca, Benisteriopsis cappii, is what? It's an MAOI, monoamian oxidase inhibitor. And when you do dieta for ayahuasca, before and after, you have to be mindful of that because things can help interfere with the way that the plants work. If I'm eating certain foods, fermented foods, certain types of dairy, pork, these things take MAOI as an enzyme to break them down. So I don't want to increase the things that I need MAO for when I'm going to take an MAOI. Why have an MAOI in ayahuasca? Why is it a part of the brew? Many of you have heard Rogan talk about that.
Starting point is 01:05:43 Monoamine oxidase inhibition from Banisteriopsis cappii, the vine, is there so that the trachuna, psychotriovitris leaves, which contain dimethyltreptamine, DMT, now allow DMT to go through the oral and make its all the way to the brain. So if I was to consume DMT without an MAOI, my stomach would break it down, it wouldn't reach the brain and no effects. Now, I've told Paul for years that plants are at bare minimum medicines. When Paul was in the carnivore game and I said, you know, he's running an experiment, let's see what happens. This is good.
Starting point is 01:06:18 And I knew fruits were fine. And I knew honey was fine. And I knew raw milk was fine and raw dairy products. And I knew fermented food was fine. And I knew all the other shit And I knew honey was fine. And I knew raw milk was fine and raw dairy products. And I knew fermented food was fine. And I knew all the other shit that I knew. I said, let's just see how this works. And he was able to prove some cool shit. His body responded well to it. But he was at least able to say, without having any experience with plant medicines, plants can be medicine.
Starting point is 01:06:39 Most of our best medicines come from plants. Dr. Peter McCullough talked about that on our podcast. And there's proof there, right? There's proof experientially through my own experience in life that these certain plant medicines used as tools correctly can have a huge benefit, not just spiritually or psychologically, but physically, right? They can change the hardware of the brain. And they're studying that at Johns Hopkins and amongst other places. The neuroplasticity of the brain can change when on psychedelics and plant medicines. And there's other plant medicines like black seed oil that is phenomenal for
Starting point is 01:07:09 immune function. I talked about that on Instagram. That's a must have if you're getting run down every winter, we got it, we can load up the fridge with black seed oil. It's phenomenal. Don't cook with it. Don't cook with any seed oil for that matter. Paul and I are agreement there. But there are some seed oils that are absolute medicines for you in the right set and setting. All right guys, one last quick break to tell you about AliveWater. AliveWater has been a sponsor back in the day. These guys are incredible. One of the best water solutions for people on the planet.

So getting back on this MAOI thing, I go, I've taken all psychedelics fit into where the serotonin receptors almost all of them, right? LSD, psilocybin, ayahuasca. I know what the fuck that feels like. It's not an A. I don't have serotonin depression. Here's another thing. Kelly Brogan showed that
Starting point is 01:09:02 most the whole SSRI field is full of shit. Serotonin is not what makes us happy, right? Dopamine, which might be there in present as the reward chemical is not what makes us happy. Happiness, you might see serotonin and dopamine and some other things elevated, but that's not what causes happiness. And we know this because anybody that starts the SSRI game gets put on let's add more of this, let's add in this one, let's take over here, let's add in this thing. And they've never studied it on women.
Starting point is 01:09:31 We learned about that in the podcast with Dr. Kayla Osterhoff. Never use the female in the studies on SSRIs. Who takes the most SSRIs? Females, right? This is fucking completely backwards. So Paul, I know what happens when I access that pathway. And I also know, because I've been taught how to
Starting point is 01:09:50 listen to my body for the last 20 years, that's what I've been doing is listening to my body, that if I can increase mitochondrial function, I'm going to feel more energy, not serotonin, more energy, okay? And that's what I laid it back with toPaul was, I know the fucking difference between mitochondria and serotonin. And I know what I'm feeling is not an increase in serotonin. Why do I know that?
Starting point is 01:10:12 Because serotonin wouldn't give me more endurance in the gym. That's my first reason right there. Serotonin wouldn't help me recover faster from workouts. There's my second reason right there. And serotonin wouldn't make me lose weight the way increasing my metabolism would. I've lost 10 pounds since starting. Now I'm training differently.
Starting point is 01:10:29 I'm not lifting as heavy with Connor. But I've lost 10 pounds since starting Methylene Blue. That's not a reason to take it. It's not why I wanted it. I didn't want it to lose weight. But my engine is turned on, right? I'm outside a lot more. My metabolism is up.
Starting point is 01:10:44 I continue to fast once or twice a year. All these things are working in concert to give me metabolic flexibility and make me run hot the way Cruz talks about. I'm running hot from cold baths. I'm running hot from methylene blue. And if you really want to know about something, this is the point that I want to make before I shut up on methylene and continue my last little spiel on things that work. If you want to know something, do it. Do the damn thing. Don't talk about it. Be about it. One of my favorite quotes from my boy, Levent Niazi, don't talk about it, be about it. What does that mean? Ted Decker, who wrote the 49th Mystic, Christian author, awesome guy. He said, you could have
Starting point is 01:11:22 every scholar on earth meet with the best artists in the world Michelangelo could paint you an avocado right on the tree. He could paint you the interior with the skin pulled off and that big seed in the middle, and they could describe every bit of the avocado to you. The scientists could come in and tell you every aspect of the avocado, polyunsaturated this blah blah blah, vitamin E, antioxidants, but you wouldn't know a goddamn thing about the avocado until you did what? until you ate it and consumed it. That is the only way to know the avocado. And the way that I know someone hasn't taken the damn thing or done their due diligence is if they're talking about something and they're completely off. I know they haven't done it yet. Do it. Try methylene blue before you talk shit about it. Tell me what you think, right? Take it
Starting point is 01:12:10 at the right dose. That's another big one. I've been telling people about this for over a year now. Read the book by Mark Sloan. Read the book by Dr. John Larrance, who was just on the podcast. MAOI is not a factor. He just said that on the podcast like a week ago, that who published the MAOI problem with serotonergic, serotonergic overload, they rescinded it, that journal rescinded it. It is dose related. So dosing, and most people aren't taking too much, they're taking way too little. And the reason for that is Methylene Blue is expensive. So a half a milligram, 0.5 mg to four
Starting point is 01:12:46 milligrams is the dose range per kilogram of body weight. Now for fun, we'll say I'm 100 kilograms. Generally, I usually am even though I'm a little lighter than that right now. That puts me personally between 50 milligrams and 400 milligrams a day. If I get to the upper echelon of that, I can start to get towards some of these MAOI things, right? Some of the MAOI activity. How do I know that? Ask me how I know that because I fucking been there before I took a whopper of 400 at once. And what happened my usual cup of caffeine made me feel absolutely
Starting point is 01:13:18 cracked out. When have I experienced that before? Oh, right after ayahuasca, like been on dieta for six weeks and I have my first cup of fully caffeinated coffee and I'm like, ooh, and my hands are pasty white and clammy. Oh, and I feel like I can't catch my breath and I'm like, oh shit, man, oh, the medicine's still working. Ooh, and even though there's no MAOI active in my body, it's like having caffeine for the first time. Okay, who all right, I
Starting point is 01:13:47 recognize that I will ease into this slowly. I'm sorry, I will ease into this slowly. Okay. That's experience that takes that education. Now, experience also taught me about the upper echelon of methylene blue, go a little too hard too fast without allowing the body to learn about it. And that can be an issue if you're stacking with caffeine. If you're one of the one of the people that take takes SSRIs and all that other shit, go in at a low dose. But remember, Dr. Jean Larrance, who started Midazine.com, who's written a book on methylene blue probably knows a bit more about methylene blue than somebody who's just taking shots at it and looking at a study online, who clearly has never taken it before.
Starting point is 01:14:23 just taking shots at it and looking at a study online who clearly has never taken it before table that. Um, most people are taking less. So the highest dose of methylene blue I had had before John the Ronson's product, Luma, tall blue at mitasin.com no discount code, but we'll link to that in the show notes was 30 milligrams, 30 milligrams of just blue from the, uh, Chokey company. 30 Migs is 20 Migs under my minimum effective dose, right? And I always thought, man, Methylene Blue's got a lot of hype for something that doesn't do a whole lot.
Starting point is 01:14:53 And then when I read these books, because people kept talking about Methylene Blue, I realized, holy shit, I've never taken the correct dose. Now I take 360 mgs all in one whack, but I've spent time. I've probably been working with this on and off for a year now and that that is the best dose for me personally. Remember microbiome, neurochemistry, mitochondria, all these things will affect what the right dose is for you. Even if we weigh the exact same amount, 360 may not be your dose. So don't take that to heart. Start low, work your way up, experiment, Run the N equals one.
Starting point is 01:15:25 That's how you find this shit out for yourself. Get a CGM, find out for yourself which foods are right for you. I continue to get people on Instagram asking me, what do you eat? How often do you lift? Give me the stats, I wanna look like you. Life doesn't work that way, okay?
Starting point is 01:15:39 We all have our own gifts, and I'm gonna be the best in my unique self, as Gafney would say, Gafney, my job is to be the most Kyle Kingsbury I can be and I'm gonna do that in every way possible physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Alright back to the list here, what else works? I love microdosing iboga. Iboga is fucking phenomenal of all the plant medicines I think that is my favorite thing to microdose with. If you were to go to a website like at bogoworld.com, you might find that there's actually
Starting point is 01:16:09 an ability to order it, depending where you live and possibly even stateside. And they might have some kind of discrete way of getting it to you, and that's really cool. I think there's a possibility there. What you'll find on a website like that or on another website is that there's many different strains. There's many different varieties.
Starting point is 01:16:25 There is HCl, hydrochloric acid, right? Ibogaine. There is whole plant. There is whole root extract, right? Concentrate. And what I found is the ones that come pre-packaged in capsules, it's a pain in the ass to weigh this shit out because you're talking really low doses here. Um, when you get the 300 milligram of whole root bark concentrate, it's in a capsule, one or two of those is fun. Nominal. You get energy. It's not as energetic as LSD, but it's not as grounding as psilocybin can be. Sometimes if a microdosing psilocybin and I've got shit to do psilocybin is like no go sit under that tree and that's what I'll do that day I'll have to listen to it and that's okay if Boga gives me energy, but it's not directing my my my day
Starting point is 01:17:14 You know LSD I could take like all right I want to kind of chill today and the LSD is like no bitch go outside and move your body Right. There's a little bit more direction from those things where I think as a Boga At least for me personally, I have the direction. I can choose it for meditation. I can choose it for boxing and kickboxing. It's an incredible performance enhancing drug. The way it turns the brain on. It's actually one of the very few plant medicines that increases dopamine receptors. Okay. So it is in a league of its own as a plant medicine on every level.
Starting point is 01:17:44 But it's also in a league of its own as a microdose, in my opinion. All right. Kratom. Kratom, because it continues to be something that I work with and people will take potshots about Kratom because a lot of people are misusing things. Right? I could talk about fucking anything, alcohol, ayahuasca, whatever. Trust me.
Starting point is 01:17:58 I've seen, I've seen so many people go to ayahuasca ceremonies that have the same intention they did the month before, the month before that, the year before that. And it feels like they're just standing in quicksand. They haven't moved a fucking inch in life. And that's okay. Right. It's not up to me to make sure that everyone's advancing in life. Right. That's for me to let go of. Am I advancing in life is the only question I need to ask. And is that something I want to do right now? Right. It's okay to push pause and say I'm gonna fucking float here for a minute And just experience and I'm just gonna be and then I'll go back to chasing some type of spiritual advancement or physical Physiological gain or financial gain, whatever that looks like
Starting point is 01:18:37 That's up to me. Okay That said Kratom is overused right we've seen this Amongst people who who swear it's not addictive, it's addictive. We've seen it with people who come off opiates and they utilize that now and their family has a problem with that. What I will say is if you follow Paul Chek's understanding of addiction, and I'm gonna butcher this, sorry Paul, but I'll paraphrase, an addiction is anything that you repeatedly do that doesn't lead to the outcome of your goals.
Starting point is 01:19:10 That's a paraphrase. It's not exact. But if you repeatedly are doing something that is hindering you from what you want in life, that's an addiction. I like that definition the best. And here's why you can utilize something whether it's a plant or not. For your betterment. Paul says you can get drunk on fucking Jim Beam for all I care. If you got all your ducks in a row and you feel good, go for it. Who am I to say that that's wrong? Right? And that's true. That's a God's honest truth about that. I know plenty of people who've been smoking pot every day since
Starting point is 01:19:38 they were 16, and they're making a shit ton of money. They're happy. They've got girlfriends. They're doing the damn thing. They've got their own home. They're very successful in life and they seem genuinely happy and they love cannabis. Full fuck yeah, man. Full yeah. And I feel great with Kratom.
Starting point is 01:19:56 I feel great having it before bed. It knocks me out, whether I'm sleeping with my little girl or not. She can co-sleep and kick me in the face and I'll wake up and I'll just go, oh, okay. And I'll move her and just fall back asleep. No big deal. Pre-workout is awesome. Pre-massage therapy, pre-mobility, I feel that it's awesome because it doesn't numb my body and enhances my body's ability, the mind muscle connection, right? It enhances my ability to
Starting point is 01:20:18 communicate to my body and microdosing of Boga will do the same. But those are two plants that I really love in addition to tobacco that are on my must use list. All right, we're gonna finish this thing off here since we've been going for an hour and a half just about. I wanna talk Bobby Kennedy. It's worth talking about this and then I'll leave us on a high note.
Starting point is 01:20:42 RFK Jr., many of you know, I have had a shit ton of support for and not everyone I have had on this podcast agrees with that, right? And that's totally okay. I appreciate Jamie Will and others for coming on the podcast. I really still absolutely love you guys. We're not always going to see eye to eye. I'm not always going to see eye to eye with Sal Ladino about Methylene or any of these
Starting point is 01:21:04 other things. It's totally fine. I still love them. Thank you for the work that you do in the world. Bobby, I have been an adamant believer in because of Children's Health Defense and because of the real Anthony Fauci. He's also his company or non-profit Children's Health Defense has released a ton of books. They've published a ton of books that far beyond the real Anthony Fauci, which is a must read. Even if you never read it and you're like, oh, you know, that's hearsay or whatever, read the damn book. It's still worth reading it to understand who that person was.
Starting point is 01:21:32 He's been a criminal since the fucking AIDS epidemic. Like this guy's not a new criminal. He's been a criminal. We got Robert Malone who I just had on the podcast, Lies My Government told me. We've got the Wuhan cover up from Bobby. We have Vax Unvax from Bobby Kennedy and Brian Hooker PhD, which shows statistically what it means for kids who have never been vaccinated versus kids who have had all their vaccines. What a cool thing to look at.
Starting point is 01:21:58 What an intelligent thing to look at. Why don't we look at people, right? Like the Amish per se, who've never had a shot in their life, and let's see what those communities look like throughout the history of their lives. What are their autism rates? What are their autoimmune rates? Do they have asthma? Do they have eczema? Do they have Crohn's disease or anything going on in the gut? Let's see all that stuff. Okay, now let's look at everybody that's taken all 72 vaccines. What do they look like? Let's see all that stuff. Okay, now let's look at everybody that's taken all 72 vaccines.
Starting point is 01:22:24 What do they look like? And it's pretty fascinating to see the difference between those. So once again, and Rogan just had on Dr. Susan Humphries, who wrote the book, Dissolving Illusions. If you're a new parent, if you're an older parent and you're still getting told to do vaccines, I would look into these books,
Starting point is 01:22:49 Dissolving Illusions by Dr. Susan Humphreys. Listen to her on the Joe Rogan Experience. I'll link to it in the show notes. For 10 years, I've been talking about that book and I've been begging somebody with the audience of Joe to have her on and I'm so ecstatic that she got to go on and that book will get more play now. It's a very important book that really shows us the history of vaccines, the history of diseases and the vaccines that came out later. All right. All that's there. The reason I'm bringing up Bobby is there's some shit going around right now via Candace Owens that Bobby has, you know, had an affair on his wife and that she's now moved to Malibu after, you know, quitting her job. And you know, unfortunately, she's gone after Candace Owens, which I'm not a fan of Candace is like eight or nine months pregnant. She's a mother of four. I don't agree with everything Candace has to say, but I also like a lot of the shit that
Starting point is 01:23:34 she's covered in her like me loved Bobby via Children's Health Defense and the idea that that the information he brought forward is one of the reasons we chose not to vaccinate our kids. Thank you again for that. But she's putting out info that potentially he has is controlled by Israel due to his open Israel stuff and this kind of stuff. And it's just like I. Alex Jones said it best and many of you right now are like, oh, God, he's talking politics, but Alex Jones to say it best, he said, what are we going to do?
Starting point is 01:24:03 Bring back Anthony Fauci, right? What are we, who's going to replace this guy? Like I don't give a fuck. That's for him and his wife to determine. And dudes always been pro Israel. That doesn't mean he has a handler. That doesn't mean that he's handcuffed and he's not going to go after vaccines publicly. He has to do this appropriately and he has to educate the public, many of which have never heard of the work of Dr. Susan Humphreys, many of which have never heard of the work of Dr. Susan Humphries, many of which have never heard of Andrew Wakefield, other than that guy was debunked. He was not debunked. Many people have never heard of Del Bigtree. Del Bigtree is phenomenal. Watch the documentary Vaxxed. Right? The point being is, if somebody has an affair and they're in politics, who gives a fuck? That's it, right there, right? That's for them to decide. I talked to my wife about this because she's been a Bobby supporter as well, and she's like,
Starting point is 01:24:53 they might fucking be okay with it. They really might. And to not announce that publicly makes sense too. If you're going to be in politics, you don't give anybody ammo. They might be okay with it. Her wife might know what he's doing. She might have a dude on the side who fucking knows, but that's their business. It's their business and it takes nothing away from what Bobby's done for health in general and for what he's about to continue to do in going after Monsanto and any of these other fucks that have poisoned the earth.
Starting point is 01:25:23 And that's exactly what they've done. I'm not using those words lightly. All right, let's wrap this springtime uh new sponsor fastgrowingtrees.com kkp we'll link it in the show notes they're not sponsoring this episode but fuck it these guys are great they also sponsor Rogan's but Rogan's got plenty of money so don't use his JRE his code use kkp at checkout. I love buying trees at the beginning of every of every spring. It's something I love doing. It's as I was talking to my buddy Eric Vaughn who's who's you know, working here at the farm. He's been running the show here for three years with us. One of my best friends in the world. And he's like, it's kind
Starting point is 01:25:58 of like getting a tattoo. Like, second you get a good tattoo, you're like, Oh, I want to get this side done, or I want to get this filled out. That's how addictive it is planting great trees because you watch them grow, especially when they're fast growing. Now not everything on fastgrowingtrees.com is fast growing, but we got weeping. I bought three weeping willows from them. They're going to grow five to six feet a year. They're going to reach full maturity in 10 to 15 years. Giant 30 by 30, right?
Starting point is 01:26:25 Beautiful trees that are deciduous. They're gonna lose all their leaves and all that's gonna go back to feed back into the ground and feed back into the microbiome of the soil. They're beautiful trees to meditate under. They grow super quick. You know, you can see stuff like, we planted, my bear planted a cottonwood
Starting point is 01:26:40 outside of our house in Austin. And it took off. In a year, it was taller than our two story house in Austin. I was like, good God. Right. And there's, I love Sequoias, right? Sequoias can live for 3000 years, but at 15 years, they're on my hip. Right.
Starting point is 01:26:53 So there's something to seeing the growth of something. There is something to participating in relationship with nature, growing your own fruit trees. You know, if you have one lemon tree take off, you got more than enough lemons for your whole family. And enough to share with friends and family, right? An avocado tree if it grows in your in where you're growing can produce so much fucking food, just one tree. And all you got to do is give it some love, give it some water, throw some micro
Starting point is 01:27:19 life on it to make sure it's got a good all the good microbes in the soil and the good food, the nutrients that it needs. And if you just stopped there, that'd be enough. But getting seeds, doing a little market garden, things like that can really go a long way in continuing to further that passion, that connection to our food, to what goes into our body, into the relationship we have with nature. All right, I'm going to leave us there. I love you guys.
