You can't sound as mad as him. I'm trying to try it. I try it really hard. You're fucking really hard. It's weird. You know what it is? I think honestly, because you know, your brain does different things.

There's inherent types of intelligences. There's social intelligence. There's mathematical intelligence. Spatial intelligence. I, for example, my spatial intelligence, not too good, right? I get lost all the time.

I think your musical or whatever intelligence that part of your brain is retarded. I think it's, yeah. It all went to social intelligence. Yeah. I think it's defective. Yeah, like, But because so much. School level.

So much of your brain is to power against the world. It's to shoe intelligence. It's shoe, and then it left no room. For physical intelligence. I'm just kidding. I guess if I gotta give, I guess if I gotta give somewhere, maybe that would be probably the best. Yeah.

Do you like me? Let's be honest. Dick intelligence. Dick, yeah. Yeah, for sure. Dude, I got to let you guys know this because this might actually happen I know right now we're filming and because we have our place is just we're getting remodeled and setting everything up right now Yeah, and we're filming still at club sport great place Wonderful people, but I don't want to get us kicked out there Mm-hmm because in the morning

When I'm there because I get the hell early, right? I'm there at like 5.45. You walk around naked again or what? Yeah, outside the gym, I lifted barbells in no hands. I know. I'm in the steam room, and there's this like group of dudes. There's like three or four guys, and it's like, they rotate, whichever one's gonna be in the steam room

and be a fucking disgusting pig. Younger older. Uh, it's, okay, so today I'm in there. I'll give, I'll paint the picture for you. I'm in there. Steam's coming out. Nice and steamy. And there's this little agent who that comes in.

He's probably 50, okay. He comes in and every bodily function you can think about. He does very loudly, like, I mean, like just loud. I was like, fuck this gross motherfucker. Yeah. Comes in and he gets the little spray hose in there. Sprays down half the fricking steam room.

I don't know why. He only sits in one corner. Sprays everything down. I'm like, if he sprinkles me with any water, I'm a punch him. Because I'm over here doing my thing. Like, I don't want to be disrupted. Then he lays out like 85 tiles. Like, I swear to God, dude.

Like a shit ton of tiles. So this guy's always like some whack job. That this is weird stuff. I don't know if he's crazy or if he's just, I don't know, but he sets everything up and then so he's fully new to there. And then he starts doing yoga, but he's doing yoga, but I say yoga,

but in reality he's doing two fucking poses. He's doing downward dog. I say yoga, but in reality he's doing two fucking poses. He's doing Downward dog. He is not doing downward dog. I swear online the hell up swear on my life This happened today Bro, what do you mean today? Almost every time I see him in there. That's what he does. It gets worse But does he do it like I'm like in front of you? Oh, he's naked He's fucking I mean that's it's not a big room So he's doing downward dog and he and while he's up there. So asses up in the air. Did you guys make eye contact at the bottom? It was I had a ball contact. He's can't you can't your eyes are drawn. You can't help it

So he's like like just ass up in the air and it's not like he points his ass towards the wall His head is towards the wall. So his ass is up towards the fucking room. And he's like, and he's sitting there, and he hear him like, mm, mm. Like, making all these sounds and shit. Then he goes down from downward dog to, I don't know what position it is where you're like,

you're pressing your upper chest up. Like a McKinsey stretch. It looks like he's just like he's penetrating. You know what I'm saying? Like his hips are low. McKinsey stretch. And he's like, and then he presses back. But this isn't, that's not all. There know what I'm saying? Like his hips are low. He's like, and then he presses back.

But this isn't that's not all. There's more. Oh, yeah. Oh, good. Then he sits down and I'm not making this up. This is the part that almost gets me kicked out because I mean, I'm not a violent person, but I'm going to punch him next time. He sits there and he fucking spits.

In the sauna? He's in the steam room on his own towel, but he spits and you hear him. C'mon. And he does that. And then, and then he does his breathing. And then he gets in and does his yoga shit. And I'm sorry.

Dude, if I was with you, I would say some 100%. I know what, there's no way I'm seeing that. I said, I said, I said, I said twice, I'm like, what are you doing? And he ignores me. And I'm like, you can't, like you can't are you doing? And he ignores me. And I'm like, you can't spit in here and he ignores me. So either he's, he's, he doesn't understand English or he understands the language of fist to face

because that's what happened. Because I don't want to see your ass cheek spread or you spitting on your fucking towel anymore. It's gross dude. That's horrible. It's disgusting. You start to ask her. Literally, like what is she telling us?

She's like, yeah, just tell him. Yeah, I hate to be a tattletail and stuff like that, but I mean, Jesus, I mean, if you don't, because otherwise I would say something. And then if someone's gonna be a, he's gonna ask you. You know, nobody else appreciates that. See, here's the problem.

He's got like, like, if, let's say here's what was going through my mind. I'm like, I'm gonna confront him, like very, very blunt, like get right in his face and tell him, like, what are you through my mind. I'm like, I'm gonna confront him, like very, very blunt, like get right in his face and tell him, like, what are you doing? But he's totally naked, which is the best defense against any aggression. You don't wanna touch that.

Yeah, I'm like, what am I gonna do? Like, what if he's weird? What if he comes, like, he pushes me? Yeah. What if he gets hard? Yeah, and after. Yeah. Yeah, so disgusting.

So disgusting. Yeah. It's horrible. It's not the worst things I've seen in Steamrooms in Sonas, but it's not, but I mean, I don't understand why people think that's okay. Why would you, and here's the thing, if you're by yourself, you know, by all means, do your thing. You know what I'm saying? Like, when I'm in there by myself, I'm stretching and I'm kind of doing something like that.

Are you doing that too? What do they call that? Cooth. Like, he has no cooth. I don't know, you heard that word. Yeah, that word. That's a good word. It's a word of the day.

It's a good word. What's a kid? Adam's gonna use it now, watch. I'm going to. Yeah, look at this. No, no, no, no, no, I need to even hear that word. That's a good word. It's a word of the day. It's a good word. What's a kid? Adam's gonna use it now, watch. I'm going to. I'm going to look it up first so I know how to use it. Just use it wrong.

Is it a verb? Who cares? He'll make it sound racist. I think coo-th is whatever. I don't know. You don't know is a verb. I'm gonna look it up while you're here. I know Justin used it right.

Yeah. That's what I do know. No class. He's like tacked. Yeah, there you go. That's it. That's correct Yeah, I don't know it's not the worst thing I've seen. It's not as bad as the guy that you know And this is because you know managing gyms. You see everything remember I told you guys about the guy that I just decided to pee No, no, no, I was looking in no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Grab his dick and he just starts peeing. He's just Yeah, while he's watching me like he's daring me to say something about it

So like I'm a little finished. Wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah Doons of mouth for shit. Am I spilling this wrong? How do you spell it? Oh, you oh, CEO you? Yeah, I mean I heard I haven't actually seen it in crazy, but like it was mainly the showers It was the the whole pooping in the shower thing. Did you see the poop? With the ladies, it wasn't even the guys. The ladies pooping the shower? Yeah, man. You did use that well.

Yeah. It's an adjective. I've only seen the poop in the shower once. Oh, really? Yeah. And it was a guy. You saw the women's bathroom? No, I didn't, like, somebody came out of it

and like was like, ah! Like some lady shit. Yeah, I wish it was in the ladies, because then I didn't have to do that. She had the shower. Boom. Yeah. That's the worst place to poop.

Wow. Is this the shower? Yeah. I wouldn't say it's the worst place. That's not like that. It's not, it's close. Well, what are you gonna do if it's, you know, it's got little holes, you know?

You gotta smash that in there. Well, like, like, think about the logistics. Well, hard enough, hard enough pressured shower will get it down there. Oh, that's gross. I think I've logistics. Well, hard enough, hard enough pressured shower I'll get it down there. That's gross. I think I've had a few emergencies. I told you I had to, I had to hose it down

when I saw someone that I hose it in there. Little did I know that power pressure hose would speckle it everywhere. Oh, it's your God. It's just, it's like going to a mud show. I'm telling you dude, it's, it's like you go to a gym that's got the wet areas, the pool and jacuzzi and stuff like that. Unless it's a very high class gym, I wouldn't go in.

Yeah. I've seen some stuff. Well, I mean, this is a pretty high class gym. You still get shenanigans here. Yeah. You could just have, I'm gonna have to say something next time to the boss, man. Can you, can you stop that?

Can we talk a little bit about what's going on with Bayer right now? Oh yeah, Bayer, the big pharmaceutical company. So the Bayer's bought Monsanto. Bayer aspirin, right? That's what I'm familiar with. They make aspirin, but they also make pharmaceutical drugs. Did you tell me, did you see?

Did you see? Didn't you tell me they killed Jews too? Back in the day, wow. Dude, wow. Did you say that? I clearly told you not to bring that up. We allegedly, okay. We have no tie to that information. No, they had some connections to making the gas. That was using the gas chambers.

Anyway, Bayer's got a really bad. Whoa, whoa, a history that they have of doing. Do your own research. Like they put out, what was it? They did, what is blood plasma or something that they were given to people in the late 70s, I believe, and it was bad and the people got HIV for that. I heard about like heroin. See, this is what happens to me. They made heroin, we don't prepare for episodes.

I would love to do a little bit of research. I'll do it while you guys are talking anyway. Very interesting past Let's put it anyway. Bottom line is you have big pharma buying big biotech GMO 1863 they've been around yeah makes makes a lot of sense So we'll see what happens there and then Jeff I think they made heroin. Well, yeah, that would, but that back then everybody made yeah, back then that was like the, have you ever seen God, what was that show? The Nick? You've seen that. Oh, they, they did a great job at like showing a

lot of the, the surgeons way back in the day that when they're trying to figure all the stuff out and like how to open people up, how to give them drugs, like, you know, they're using heroin to treat people, all that kind of stuff. They showed a lot of that. It was pretty fascinating. Yeah. No, I mean, we still have heroin now, prescription heroin, you know, that's, they're saying that's one of the reasons why, uh, let's say heroin epidemic has grown so much as people start with, yeah, they treat people with that. Not actual heroin. It's, uh, opiates, uh, you know, that are very, very similar. And, um, and like, I think is one of them. And well, you're thinking of stronger oxy-contains.

Is this? Yeah, oxy-contin is like, so if you were to break, the oxy-contin is basically time-released heroin in this. Is it? Well, it's like the highest dosage of opiate. It's an opiate? Oh, yeah, it's the highest. Like, you know, your Perkisets, your...

It's high. Your Perkisets, your vikin and all those. Those are all opiates. And that's kind of like the gateway, right? They say once you start taking that, then you move, and you graduate all the way up to like oxy cottons and oxy cottons are basically time released. Really. We'll see what they're saying is that.

Strong out degree. What they're saying is that this, you know, because prescription opiates have exploded over the past, I don't know how many years. And right along with it, heroin, another heroin epidemic, excuse me, I can't speak English today, seems to be, seems to be growing as well. And a lot of these people start with prescription pills and then move on to, yeah, well, you know how it works. Right. So when you, you graduate like this, so I've been, and I have actually have a handful of close people to me that I've watched this happen too.

So it's really scary. And it's really sad when it happens. And it normally happens with somebody who does start off with, you know, they had some sort of an injury or whatever that they get introduced to, like it in a percussette and find out how wonderful it is. Because when you do take opiates like that, there's actually, there's, it's like a happy drug. That's what you know, I can totally say that happening. Like aside from just making you numb and feeling awesome than addition to it, it also promotes

happiness. Do you guys feel that when you take a bike at him? Yeah. Yeah. That was my reaction because like I vividly remember one of my friends, he had knee, like surgery. He had torn his ACL and like, I was just hanging out with him after a football game on Sunday. And he just gave me one of them.

We're sitting there and we're just chilling. And it was like this euphoric. Like, really? Oh, yeah. It was like, if I had to choose to be, if I had to be an addict, and there's more thing going to be that you had to choose with your, you can't touch us all or a drug. Or which one would you be an addict to?

It would be that for sure. You know why I'm saying, you know why I'm like shocking to hear that for me because I've used Vyketin before I had shoulder surgery and they gave it to me and I had dislocated my knee and they gave it to me and they'll give me a bottle of you know five or ten or whatever and I always only ever use one because I fucking hate the way it makes me feel I feel dizzy nauseous I feel shitty and I'm wondering'm wondering if there's got to be a strong genetic component. Absolutely. For sure. It's like split in half.

I know people just like you. You're one of the other. It's a love hate thing for sure. It's either you love it or you hate it. And for, you know, just like the gene, you know, people that are with alcohol. Some people can have 15 beers a day and they feel wonderful. They sleep great and they wake up awesome. And then other people that you have two beers like me and I feel like,

well, see, I'm glad I don't like that kind of stuff because I have a very, I have an obsessive personality with things and, um, yeah, but I hate it. I'll use viking and I'm like, well, I can be, I can be a, I can be a, uh, literally right after that. I was like, oh, I'm not such a nut again. But the main thing in it that makes you feel that way, it's, it's the opiate inside there and the strength level of it. So when you start off with like a viking or whatever,

then you progress to like a percussette, which is kind of like double the strength of that. And then you then what happens is these guys, and I watched, like I said, I watch this have with my buddies, they start off and you're taking like, you know, a couple of day, and then you start taking like five a day, then you start taking 10, then you start taking like, oh yeah, bro, one of my buddies was taking 50 of these a day. Oh my god. And so then you get, did he get off of them? Well, eventually I had to rehab and go through the whole process like coming off of that stuff is pretty, is vicious. Because you know that oxy-continus now approved

for children as young as 11. I heard them. It's crazy. That's horrible. It is. And you know what's even crazier? It's crazy. Is that, is that they just, they just reviewed marijuana

as a for medical use and they just said no Schedule one no medicinal use, but oxy-continus for you know give to your 11-year-old child, dude Yeah, that's that's bad words. It's it's so blatantly It's not even the debate like it's not even something like okay. Let's have a discussion I can see your point and you can see my you're literally You're literally bullshit-ing us like it's not even a, it's not even, there's no argument. You can't give me any doctor, anybody in front of me,

and I will blast them in a debate, not because I'm smarter, but because there is no argument. There is no, I don't understand it. It makes no fucking sense how they could do that and then give oxy-contin to children. It's craziness. Yeah, it's craziness. Yeah. It's pretty ridiculous where it's going,

but it's a scary thing to watch. And then what eventually ends up happening is somebody who is graduated from taking 50 of those a day, they finally go like, holy shit, okay, that's because those on the black market, you're like five to $10 a pill for those things. So holy shit. Yeah, yeah.

So then- So spend like 50 bucks a day on their stuff. Oh, more than that. I said they take up the 50 pills a day Oh my god. Yeah more like 250 to 300 dollars a day on pills. Jeez So what ends up happening is you go like oh my god Well heroin is only this much and it's 10 times stronger and I you even though in your head those people those same people tell Themselves, oh, I would never inject something in me You start to go like well how much am I taxing my liver by eating 50 pills? And then there's this, there's this, this switch that happens to people where they go, fuck it. It's almost healthier for me to,

to take care of really. Oh, yeah, yeah. Absolutely. That's exactly how it works. Well, I think otherwise you would just take his pills. It would be easier. I think at that point when you're, when you're making those kind of rationalizations, you're no longer, you're, you're no logical. Yeah, you're, it's the drug that you're high those kind of rationalizations, you're no longer... Oh, yeah, you're being... You're no logical. Yeah, you're... It's the drug that's... You're high thinking about that, you know what I'm saying? Because you're already on one, like crazy, and that's...

You know, I... It amazes me, because this speaks to something a little larger in the human psyche, where what we tend to do, because as humans we're subjective in everything. We try to be objective, but there's always a subjective part of you. And what we'll do is we'll want something really bad, and then we will create an argument or a defense for it in support of it to ourselves. We literally close and bullshit ourselves.

You know what I'm saying? Like someone's like, I really want to get high, but you know, it's probably not as good to take pills. And you know, if I injected it, it'd be better. So it's like, you create this argument to support your bullshit. You know what I'm saying? Well, I did, it was a while back. When was it?

I shared this in an episode where I went through, when I battled this a little bit. Yeah, you know, I don't know what it was about. And it was Mark Bell's interview, I think. Oh, that's what it was. It was Mark Bell's interview where we discussed this a tiny bit and when I went through it, it was pretty crazy to realize it.

You know, most people, I don't think really even realize it. And for me, I pride myself on being very self-aware. When I kind of woke up and realized, holy shit, these are like withdrawal symptoms that I'm going through and boys, it's powerful. And wow, is it tough to get ahold of this? And I was at no, I mean, I got up to the point after I had gone through my surgery and stuff where I was bumping up. And I think I was up to like seven or eight of these things in a day, which sounds like

a ton, but met with a doctor, prescribed every four hours you're supposed to take one to two. It's pretty easy to get up there. And when they're telling you, like, oh, we'll stay ahead of the pain. And then in order to stay ahead of the pain, you're like, you're just caught every three hours now. You're throwing one in your mouth. Well, that's, it's really quick to get up to seven. You don't even realize it. So, you know, that's the scary part

is, you know, you, and then you get to that point and it's like, you justify in your head, I just want to feel better, my pain and this and that. And then it just comes this out of control train. And when you're dealing with something like that, like where there's this physical symptoms that are happening to you, like I mean, it's unreal, and it's a very challenging thing for most people. And then you start, like you said, start making all of this, you start justifying all of it in your head

why this is okay, and it's like, oh, I need to do this, and it's just this. It's correct. I remember my cousin, and I've had family, I've had friends that have all battled this and we are sharing stories of like, you know, self realization of when you realize this was all going on and

at what point did you, you know, check yourself in a rehab or fix this. And, uh, man, my buddy told me this, this one story and he goes, you know, I knew I had a problem one time when I had shoot up 30, right? He says, I put 30 in my mouth and I would chew them all up and he says and I swallowed him and and it is like instantly I had like a reflex and I vomited them all up and they threw up all over the floor and he goes and then I looked down and I'm like fuck I don't want to waste it so I picked them all up and I ate him again and he's like that's when I knew I had a had a problem on my college. Well, you know, you just made me feel better about myself.

Well, you know, prescription opiate overdoses in America are as exploding. Oh, huge. It's like, it's in the, you know, that's in the tens of thousands. It's one of the number one, I think if not the largest overdose, no doubt. It's the biggest money machine. I mean, that was a surprising part about the Monsanto connection there.

It's like, Monsanto, you think about, it's a fucking enormous company. I'm like, how the hell can a company come and buy them out? Yeah, 66. So much money. 66 billion. Bear alone. That's just one of the pharmaceutical companies.

Yeah, that's crazy. I don't know. I mean, yeah, that's pretty it's pretty Ascended, but yeah, these these this this this epidemic of opiate use and overdo you know overdoses. It's pretty scary because you're dealing with super highly addictive substance with overdose potential, which is very high. I mean some some drugs have a higher risk of death and opiates are right up there. And then you've got drugs with very, very low risk of overdose. We're on the opposite coast of this, too. You know that, right? We're so Florida is...

Oh, the worst. Yeah, and they are like, so the way we are with medical marijuana in California, how we're the most popular when it comes to that as far as dispensaries. Yeah, and they are they are like so the way we are with medical marijuana in California How were the most popular when it comes to that as far as dispensaries and you know, you could literally anybody could walk into a doctor in In California and say I have trouble sleeping or I have headaches or and they sent they write you a prescription And you can go at any dispenser literally yeah, literally anybody can do that And it's that it's that simple in California So then you're and then you're legal and you can go to any dispenser. Literally, yeah, literally anybody can do that. And it's that simple in California. So then you're legal and you can go to a dispensary. So in Florida, it's the same thing, but for painkiller.

So they have these little hubs just like, just like we have marijuana dispensaries, but they like specialize in pain. And it's all the opiate based drug. So it's all the oxycotins, the percusets, the vikings, things like that. And it's that easy to where you can just be like, oh, my knee really hurts and bothers me.

This and that and the big, oh, here's your prescription and then you go and do it. And so the big hustle over there, I know guys that would actually travel over there and then they would load up on, you know, $50,000 worth of painkillers, then you come over the West Coast and then you turn around and flip it into a quarter million. Well, so they found that actually this is a very clear statistic now is that states that legalize medical marijuana have over time lower and lower and lower and lower, lower prescription painkiller use in particular opiates. Opiate use drops considerably when states have medical marijuana being legalized.

Who do you think campaigns against medical wearer? Who's paying for all the campaign? In fact, for people are so blinded by like the stupid studies that came out, let's say, dude, when companies like, and I'm not saying Bayer is one of them, I'm sure they are though, but companies like that are they don't want to see marijuana flourish. It's a competitor.

Yeah, dude, it's like, you know, it's fucking, you're already Pepsi, you don't want Coca-Cola to come around. You don't want anybody else to encapsulate it themselves and figure all that out. Well alcohol alcohol and prescription drug companies and are two of the biggest advocates for maintaining marijuana prohibition and they just so happen to be huge, you know, huge lobbies. Because people when they like and when they have legalized marijuana or medicinal marijuana, alcohol use drops as well. So, and alcohol doesn't want anybody competing with them. Then you have to wonder too, how many of them are super gangster

and they get their hands on both sides. You're, yeah, you're back door in the, you're back door in the black market. You're hedging your bets all the way to the place. Well, here's, here's the thing, here's the thing. I think if you're one of these big companies, what you're gonna do is you're gonna look at the trends and then when it looks like it's going in that direction,

that's when you start to hedge your bets. Yeah, they're waiting for the legal, you know, legalization. Don't think for one second, what if marijuana ever becomes federally legalized, that some of the biggest producers of marijuana will instantly be like moral borough. Oh yeah, we talked about that already. They've had their, they've had, they've got what are they?

They're waiting have the crops. They already have, they already have like three, three hundred and something patents. Yeah. They already own like the rights to fucking government. They have, yeah, they're like, they have plants. All right. So that's what's,

people have no idea what they're setting themselves up for right now. They're like, that's why I'm out of that industry. Everybody was wondering like, why did you get out? Now everybody wants, now that it's all comfortable and it's easy to be getting involved in it, everyone's like, oh, should we do this? Or I wanna do this, my friends doing this. Tech companies are buying these.

Dude, enjoy my ideas. Well, the good news is, enjoy your two to three year run right now. You know, what'd you say? It took my marijuana. It looks high. We call the Eagle Head of Land, Climate of Quas! Today's Quas being brought to you by Kai Maricopi,

An English landed. Queu, croix. All right, our first question is from 500 days of fuck you. Oh, my favorite. Can a bad diet make an injury feel worse or take longer to heal? So this is an easy question answer because a bad diet will make everything feel like.

Exactly. A bad diet will make a turn or a turn. Well, making not an injury feel. I mean, on the extreme case, let's talk about some examples of that. Well, I was going to say, I mean, on the extreme side, if you're malnourished, if you have a really bad diet and you're not getting certain nutrients, definitely will take you longer to heal. And in some cases, you won't not getting certain nutrients, definitely will take you longer to heal. And in some cases, you won't heal with certain nutrients.

And now if we go down the scale and now you're not malnourished, you just have a bad diet. Inflammatory markers can be elevated and the body can feel worse that it really is. There's lots of other reasons why a bad diet might make an injury heart, you know, take longer to heal, like because you feel crappy, maybe you move less, maybe you do less rehab, you know. Well, for you got to fight everything internally while you're trying to mend and heal your body. Like it's just, it's just common sense, dude.

Like if you, if you're going to eat shit food, you know, it's not gonna really produce like a good healing environment and a good movement pattern for you, like you're saying. Like you're not motivated to get up and do healthy things. Well, it's interesting. What's interesting to me is how much we've separated our food, or at least we consider food something that doesn't necessarily affect everything. Like, you know, it's just food, right? But you're literally, that's almost everything. I mean, what you eat and drink, you know, what you put in your mouth,

those are all chemical reactions, those are all signals, those are all, you know, influencing your body's chemistry and how it operates. And what you eat influences everything. It influences everything and you eat every single day. This is something you do on a daily basis for the rest of your life, or at least, you know, almost daily basis for the rest of your life.

It's going to, it's gonna affect your entire system. So will it affect how your body chooses to heal or its ability to heal? You better believe it, absolutely. Oh, big time. Well, you mean this is where you really start to dive into all the micro nutrients, right? Well, you see stuff on labeling, you see people promoting vitamin D, vitamin K, vitamin E, what are all these things for?

If you're somebody iron, if you're somebody who bruises really easy, a lot of that's some sort of a nutrient deficiency, or you're somebody who gets cut and then takes a really long time for your skin to repair. These are all normally micro nutrient deficiencies that people are not getting in their regular diet. And these are all little secret. You have hair loss, also, and your hair is falling out, so like that, you're dizzy.

Yeah, you look pale or kind of green-look to you. Your skin doesn't look really healthy. These are all signs of your body telling you that it's malnourished somewhere. And yeah, man, if you have an injury, then when something happens like that, right, like that's an acute stress, you would say, right? Like an injury would be considered acute stress. So the body wants to prioritize using nutrients and using things to recover that.

But if it's already prioritizing the little bit of nutrient, it's already malnourished, it's already not getting so that to run and to be efficient as it is. And then you put stress on it on more stress on top of it. You know, this is an extreme example. It's a why I like to do this a question because this is a lot of where people have a hard time. They stall out with their results and fat loss and muscle game because, you know, your body has all these functions and things that it needs to perform and it needs nutrients

in order to do that. And then we go in the gym and then we go bang it up some more in hoping that we're gonna burn a bunch of fat and build a bunch of muscle. But when your body is struggling to get all the nutrients it needs to run officially and then you're asking more from it, it's, you're not gonna get the most out of it. And I just, I like this too, because I just had a client, I just recently started somebody

who I'm coaching right now. She's on her, she's not even a complete month, right? And the first process we do is I assess the reading and just kind of look at it. And I talked briefly, recently, about the most common things I see, the overconsumption of sugar, the lack of dietary fiber, the, you know, overconsumption, or grossly underconsumption of protein, the overconsumption of carbs and the under-eating of fat and healthy fats. And all this stuff really fucking matters. And it matters so much. So this client, I just, I literally tweaked a few things. I increased her fiber, I bumped

up her healthy fats, kept her protein was actually fine. And this person, I literally tweaked a few things. I increased her fiber, I bumped up her healthy fats, kept her, her protein was actually fine in this person. I lowered her carbohydrates, and, but I wanted her calories high and her calories are actually higher and this is a weight loss person. And you know, the two weeks end of that, she's like texting me back like, my body's dropping body fat. Like, I don't understand. I'm not, you've pulled out cardio from me.

You've done it like, why am I, why am I getting leaner? I'm like, well, your, your body is now starting to work for you finally. Like, it's finally starting to pay you dividends for being a healthier person and you're not even having to work that hard to see these results. That's the difference of, you know, and that's the getting injured or something is the extreme example of that, right? Well, I mean, science is starting to show now, for example, having a healthy fatty acid profile or intake, eating your omega-3s and eating adequate fats, will reduce your risk of skin cancer

and will increase your ability to believe it or not tan or not burn in the sun. Now, there's lots of anecdote behind this. Actually, one of the number one things I hear from people who bump their fat intake up, healthy fat intake up, and drop their sugar or carbohydrate intake down is that they can tan better, and they don't sunburn as much.

Now, sunburn is a type of injury, it's damage to the skin. And so, your fatty acid intake will influence how well you tan and how you don't injure yourself. This can apply to everything in your body and your inflammatory markers and how your body heals is influenced very, very heavily by your diet. In fact, you can eat a diet that's so bad that mundane activities and just living causes injury-like inflammation to part your body.

So, yeah, I mean, eating a very good healthy, you know, whole food-based diet with adequate fat intake and very, very low process food intake and low sugar intake will help everything in your body work better, especially healing from injury or illness. You still want to work against your body and all the mechanisms in place work with your body. work better, especially healing from injury or illness. You still want to work against your body and all the mechanisms in place. Work with your body. Exactly.

Cossack conditioning is asking, what do you think about the food industry having unrestricted marketing ability to kids? That's an interesting question. So here's one that'll probably cause a little debate and anger. Okay. So here's the thing.

When we're talking about regulating people's ability to speak, because that's what that is. If it's a company and they're going to market, that's a form of speech. And I'm always very wary about regulating people's speech because who determines what we regulate? Who determines? Well, it's just a liberty.

It's a liberty. It's protected. It's in our Bill of Rights. It's there for a reason. Once we start to regulate how people speak, that's a slope that you start to slide down and start to turn into other things. And you got to ask yourself, who determines which company can advertise to kids? So let's take a look, for example, last 30 to 40 years. The FDA says that a diet that's 60% carbohydrates, especially coming from grains, is healthy.

So if we said, yes, regulate the food industry, then there would be all kinds of grain cereal or whatever advertising towards kids and very, very little of things that may have healthy fats because remember fats were considered bad. So that's number one. Like who determines what is regulated, and what isn't regulated?

I don't trust those people. You see what I'm saying? I just don't trust anybody to regulate that shit. Do you know who I trust the most to regulate what my kids see, watch, read here, whatever? Yourself. Myself. Yeah.

So, you know, I mean, look at the internet, for example. The internet is a bastion of unregulated anarchy. I mean, I could only find anything. But as a result of the lack of regulation, you have lots of private regulatory things you could buy for your computer, regulate for your kids. Well, I watch what they do.

So, I mean, this, no, I don't think that they should be regulated. I want to hear Justin. I would agree with you to a point. I would feel like the point that you made as far as you being able to determine what would feel like the point that you made as far as you being able to determine what your kids watching all that, I feel like we should be able to empower that even more.

So as far as like having the decision to say, I'm not watching TV while they're watching TV. And I don't want certain ads coming on while it's on this particular network. Like that's important to me. I don't want some crazy shit on there when I'm not watching what they're watching. It's coming, dude.

What you're saying is coming. So what I'm saying is that we should have, I mean, it's more in the privatized sector, I would think, but giving you the ability to filter on your telegram. Yeah, I create the filter yourself. So I wanna create that filter. I wanna create that filter, I wanna create that filter with like shitty sugar cereals

that are just bombarding them. And they're, you know, they, dude, kids are so impressionable with that stuff. They have that down to a ridiculous science. And, you know, for me, it irritates the shit out of me because, you know, they're spending so much money right underneath your nose on making that sort of impact on your children and it doesn't matter how much,

you think you can control all that. They influence them whether you're watching them or not. Well, what's the difference if that's what we did with cigarettes? Well, exactly. With advertising? Yeah, what's the deal? I'm not. If sugar is good.

I don't miss cigarette commercials, and I'm saying that. Here's the thing, with cigarettes, first of all, you couldn't advertise cigarettes to kids because they're under age, that's different. Okay, so that's a regulation. This is where I'm going with this. Yeah, that's exactly, thank you, because that's kind of how I feel with like certain issues

being marketed to kids. Like there are things where I'm like, no way in hell. That's that coming in the house? So, if you have something like that, and I choose to use cigarettes as an extreme example, although I think it fits just fine here, considering that obesity is passed up fucking cancer in cigarettes, right? So I definitely think that some sort of regulation is whether it be like Justin said just an option that you have as a parent or that it's nationwide.

Because here's a thing, your kid at eight years old is not going to work and making money to go make a purchase. So they're not even a fair target market, really, unless you're paying dirty if you are. If you're trying to brainwash the children by pumping commercials to them. They're not even the one, they don't even have the right yet to make a purchase. They're not making a purchase. They don't make money. So let me tell you what this screams to me.

What that screams to me is this. It's no different than me saying, hey, government, I need your help raising my kids. I want you to regulate what they might watch, what they might read, what they might do. And that is a position you never ever wanna put. If you put it in. But what if it's in the local size? Like if you're all voting for it as a community, you know what I mean?

Like instead of like a federal issue, like where they're all mandating all this for everybody to consume. Like you have a collective idea in your school of what you wanna to present is education. So here's the thing, here's how you vote. The way you vote is you don't buy those shitty products. And by the way, for people who are listening right now, say, ah, it doesn't work.

No, that fucking works. Go to the store right now, and the sugary cereals and the shitty cereal sales have been dropping consistently now for a little while. It's way lower than when we were kids. Sugar consumption is starting to drop. Shitty food consumption is starting to drop, organic food market. Those markets are starting to grow.

The pendulum swing in the other way. Because people are becoming educated and it has nothing to do with regulations. It has nothing to do with, in fact, government regulations follow the market. It's usually not, it's never the other way around. When people started to look at cigarettes and say, oh, I don't want to smoke them anymore,

that's when the government came and said, okay, we're going to start making all these decisions on cigarettes. But before that, it was government coming out, you know, partially funding these studies that said cigarettes weren't bad, we're fine, we're bad for you. I do not trust any of these people to make these decisions for me.

I like that argument. I think that's a very fair argument. I think you both bring up a great point. I do like the idea that I think there's a medium though. I think there's a way, why wouldn't you be able to, I mean, they've already gone to the point now, where like let's say your kid has to put in a password to unlock certain channels and certain things like that. Right.

Why wouldn't it be similar as for? That's what I hope for. Well, here's a thing. Well, you know what though, I say that and then I think about what I think the future of advertising is we're not gonna have commercials anymore. It's gonna look like you guys familiar with Spike TV, how they do it. Have you watched how they do it? Like with the, okay, so this is how I think the future of all commercials will look.

So we all know that you, like I think the population now, I forget what the number was when I read it last, that is, you know, you stream everything or you TV, right? Very few people watch their favorite show at eight o'clock when it goes. So what does everybody do? You fast forward the commercial. So what the fuck is the point of a commercial anymore if your people are fast forwarding through it? So now what Spike does, and they've been doing this for quite some time now, and I think is the future of most all television is while you're watching

your show, the TV goes from full screen to shrinks down to about 80% and then the 20% on the outside of the bar is like, you know, Bud Light comes in. Bud Light comes in while you're still watching your show, there's no break in your entertainment, but you get these little pop-ups of... Here's a thing. Which how do you regulate that now? Well, here's the thing. When you get a broad...

...tric cereal comes up in the kids watching your movie. Yeah, not. Broadcast media is gonna be a thing of the past. It's all gonna be streaming, and you're gonna pick when you wanna watch. Yeah, you pay for it based off of the show, right? So you pay for the show to not have commercials or or if they're advertising or it is.

Yeah, then you can sort of screen through it that way. Correct, plus, I like that because then gives you your option as a parent, you can say, hey, I'm willing to pay. I'm willing to spend an extra $7.99 a month to regulate my kids for, and then they get their fucking revenue. So you can pay your your companies and your Apptires, they're still there 799 that you get from me.

But look, there's also something to consider. First of all, yes, that's that's going to happen. It's happening. It's because of the market has nothing to do with regulations. That's all market driven. That's all technology driven. Technology is heavily unregulated and yet it continues to improve and give people trying to get out big brother. If I put if you put big brother, you're going to create a PR ocracy, you're going to create a new agency. You're going to create an agency that's going to become corrupted by people who more money than you. No, you're right. You're right. You're right.

It's a fucking waste of time. Look, let me put it this way. Okay. Uh, drugs, the heavily, most heavily regulated thing in America. People still use drugs. You can find drugs in prison. Prison is the most controlled environment. So people are always about, I wanna be so, it's true. It's a great story. It's fucking true, like, oh, I wanna be so safe.

Government, please make everything safe for me. Keep me from, you know, being exposed and keep myself, you know what they could do? They could save me. Government, nothing could be more regulated, more safe than the fucking prison. And you're gonna get fucking shives in there. You're gonna get fucking drugs in there.

You're gonna get all kinds of crazy stuff. Why have you never used that argument before? That is such a great argument to anybody that likes regulation, wants to government, involved in anything. It's like, motherfucker, you have it at prison. Go tell me if you want to live there. Yeah, you'll be able to do it because that shit's just dangerous.

You'll be able to control your own thing or dangerous. I'll tell you what, my kids, even more dangerous than spoke competent. My kids barely ever walked regular TV now. you know my kids watch all the time YouTube Netflix and YouTube I bet those are the two biggest things that they watch and I have more Mostly mind pump TV more dirt mind pump. Yeah TV. They don't listen to the show though. Yeah, mind Pudding out for kids and that my pump TVs for them. Yeah Buck 315

What do you think about 10,000 calorie cheat days as fitness celebrities promote on YouTube? So, so thousand calories. I haven't really seen this too much. This 10,000 calorie cheat day thing that's going on. Is this a thing? I have to say is unless you're Michael Phelps, you know, fuck off. Period.

Yeah, that's not even the dumbest story. Yeah, just everybody who's not Michael. Unless you wouldn't have me. I don't know. I don't know. I think the 1000 calories. I think that's just an arbitrary number that he came up with. I don't think there's there's actual thing or maybe though.

I don't I maybe what it is pop what is very popular with all your fitness icons is this, you know, strict eating and then you have your cheat days. And then that's that's how everybody celebrates this cheat day. And I am super, super against this. Yeah. Um, I've, this is one of the things, uh, this was the biggest, one of the biggest things I stood against when I, when I was competing and I talked about the whole idea of getting in shape and, you know, trying to eat better and better cleaner foods and then this whole

reintroducing shit food into your diet. When people really understand the chemistry of what happens in your body, when you eat all that shit food, you wouldn't think that's a smart strategy. The justification people like Lane Norton's and stuff like that that talk about when they eat processed, they use this as a processed food

because they talk about the psychological part of it's healthy to allow yourself to have this freedom to be able to be able to. Oh, I would totally argue it's more psychologically damaging than it is helping. 100% because then it becomes this thing that you can, I can't wait till Saturday because Saturday it fucking, it's on man, I eat this, I eat that and it becomes this, when really this is all totally imbalanced.

It's totally the opposite of what we talk about. We're always trying to encourage people to have a healthier relationship with food. Do I say I'll never have a cupcake? Fuck no, I'll eat a cupcake. But the point is that, you know, it's, I'm not what I'm trying to do is I'm always trying to fuel my body with the most optimal foods that are in there.

Now does that always happen? No, it doesn't always happen, but I'm always trying to get it. You're not gonna punish yourself. Yeah, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna schedule a day that I poison myself for an entire day. And that's exactly what you're doing.

To over consume by that much, you're fucking poisoning your body. I don't care how you look at it. Well, see, here's what happened to me back in the day when I used to do the whole cheat day. Like, eat clean, eat clean, eat clean, and then have cheat days. Because I knew it was a cheat day,

or even if it was a cheat meal going into it, I anticipated it, like Adam was saying, like, oh, I get to, you know, my God, I can't wait till Saturday, in a lunch, or whatever, or Saturday all day, I anticipated it, like Adam was saying, like, oh, I get to, you know, my God, I can't wait till Saturday, you know, lunch or whatever, or Saturday all day, I anticipated it, it built it up, and then I would go nuts way more than I would if I was just living my life normally,

and I'm feeling good, and I'm out with my girlfriend, and we're at the store or whatever, and it's like, you know, you wanna get a burger? Like, okay, let's get a burger. Like, it's not like, today's our cheat day, because then what would happen would be like, you know, you want to get a burger? Like, okay, let's get a burger. Like, it's not like, today's our cheat day. Cause then what would happen would be like burger, dessert, and nuts, and fried chicken. It would be that.

Andy bars and shit. Exactly, it would make it a lot worse. I think the real key here is because you can, okay, now, to be clear, you can go in the opposite direction and count everything all the time and never go off and, you know, stress out like to the max if you, you know, misamela, whatever. That's unhealthy.

That's also unhealthy. I think the best thing you can do, you know, moving forward is if you wanna have something and you are educated about it, I know what I'm an eats, not good for me, but I'm gonna enjoy this birthday or I'm gonna enjoy this lunch, this celebration, whatever, you go out and you do it. And here's the thing too, another thing that I did

for myself when I would eat foods that were quote unquote bad, is I would learn to enjoy them because on my cheat days, you know what I found myself doing? Scarfing them down. It was like I couldn't get them in my mouth fast enough. You didn't even enjoy it. No, it was like traveling. I'm gonna crush it.

Now, if I'm gonna go have a burger or a- It's because you truly want it. Yeah, I really want it. You truly want it. It's a celebration. You're with, you know what I'm saying? But I keep myself mindful. See, this is the thing.

When people eat really bad food, especially on cheat days and stuff like that, it's not mindful, it's mindless. Yeah. They go in and they just destroy it as fast as they can. I purposely slow myself down, think about what I'm eating, enjoy the taste, enjoy the flavor. Wow, this is so good.

I know that I have the urge to want to scarf it down and I kind of slow myself down. Well, let's talk about it. Let's, yeah, I think it's what you mentioned, the knowledge of it, like knowing exactly what the ramifications are from, you know, going, straining off of it, like knowing exactly what the ramifications are from going straying off of like, that's why we talk about avoiding certain foods because maybe my education level, I'm like a brown belt or a white belt.

I'm working my way up as far as like, well, which food really is good for me? You have to understand all that and all its complexities and how it makes you feel. And once you get to that black belt level, and it's like, all right, cool. I know exactly what this is going to do to me. I'm going to, you know, and then you tend to just naturally

eat it more in moderation. And it's just like, I know what this is going to do to me. Very true. It's amazing when I feel like my, I love the analogy just used a black belt, so I'm going to go with that. When I felt like my level of understanding of nutrition was a black belt, and then I had been doing it for long enough and teaching it long enough, and I finally figured out like how to teach somebody who is a white belt who just came in.

Like how do I get this client of mine to understand all this nutrition knowledge that I've accumulated over all these years that took me experience and reading and all this. How do I give this to this person in like, in a right away, right? And it's amazing when you change the way they look at food. And I am very careful about when I communicate to my clients when we talk about food. And I have to attribute some of this to Sal's definitely,

when he, the way he talks to his kids about food is the same way I talk to attribute some of this to Sal's definitely, when he talked to his kids about food is the same way I talked to clients. You know, and teaching them how to talk back to me that way. Like, don't tell me that food made you fat. Tell me how it made you feel after you consumed it. Don't tell me you don't like eating this. Tell me how you felt when you ate it. You know, talk about this, let's talk about your sleep.

Let's talk about your skin, your hair. Let's talk about your sleep, let's talk about your skin, your hair, let's talk about your energy, let's talk about your mood, your attitude, how you feel, your strength levels. Let's talk about all these things and talk about how you notice them and let's pay attention because we're tracking your food and we're paying attention to all this stuff,

how to correlate all this stuff. And when you tend to do that and you do it really well with somebody, then you say, go ahead, you know, this weekend, you're at a birthday party, you're going to eat what you want. But all I want you to do is pay attention to what you eat. Be mindful as you're doing. Be mindful.

That's what I'm saying. Be mindful of when you're eating. And then tomorrow morning, when we talk, I want you to pay attention how you slept that night. I want to pay attention to how you feel today, how your energy level is throughout the day, how your mental clarity is, and just tell me how you feel. And sure as shit like clockwork, the next day, they're like, oh, I feel lethargic. I'm gonna let all that in the couch.

Yeah, right, I didn't get up very well. And I don't feel like going to the gym today. I'm like, this is how I want you to connect those foods. It didn't make you fat. We didn't even consume enough calories for you to eat any fat from it. It was totally okay, what you did. But notice what your body showed you

when you consume those foods and pay attention to that. So when you start to make those types of connections and you're more mindful, it's natural to want to eat better foods. It's natural to crave healthier foods and to enjoy them differently. Because you have a different connection to them. Most people eat very mindlessly

and that's what cheat days kind of promote. It's all flavor-based. Yeah. They're whole thought process. Or the next step, which is still a very amateur step, which is still a very infantile step, is did I gain weight or lose weight? Yeah. And if that's all you ever look at is did I get fatter, did I not get fatter?

That's a one simple, small line item that you can manage in terms of how this food is affecting you. Because one meal is probably not going to do, make you gain weight or lose weight, but it's going to affect all those other things, all those other markers. Those are the most important. I mean, 3,500 calories, it goes up a pound of fat. And I know that's a arbitrary number, but it's roughly that.

So you're not gonna over consume that and sitting in one birthday party, right? So you're, maybe, I've done it. You're gonna be fine. It's really about like you said, how you feel and how those foods make you feel and relating that. So, you know, I think that's,

I think that's really important for people to pay attention. I also tell clients, so I give them all these markers, like these feelings that I want them to be aware of. And then I also tell them that I want you to communicate with me when you notice one of them off. Like if all of a sudden you feel dizzy or you feel tired or you just can break that. Yeah, then what I'll ask them, like at that moment,

when they feel this way, I see screen shot me because I make my people right, they all track. So I'm like, screenshot me your food. And then I can help like this happen yesterday. So one of my new clients goes, screenshots me over her food and she goes, you know, I thought you should know, I feel hungry.

It's the first time I've found it because I want her satiated right now because we're beginning and I'm like, I don't want you feeling hungry. I want you feeling satisfied all the time. And when you don't tell me. So she sends it to me. So don't tell me, so she's send it to me. So I look at her food. She's halfway more than halfway through her day.

And I can tell because bass based off from macronutrients, she is, she's low carb and low fat. And then now all of a sudden these cravings are kicking up because her body is telling her she's hungry. She needs fuel and she's not giving it a efficient amount of fat. It's not giving you an efficient amount of carbohydrates. So I told her, I said, go have, you know, literally I said, I know this sounds weird, but go have some coconut oil or butter or avocado or some sort of a heavy fat with something right now or some seeds or something or the big steak on some salad

or something like that and consume that. And then hit me right back and tell me, I feel instantly, like, feel amazing afterwards. It's just because she was off her body's telling her that. Now people mix that up with like, oh, I need this. I want that. When really it's just the body just telling you that you were low on some fuel right now, feed the body what it needs and then watch how amazing you feel. Now, now switch that, you know, if we could go back in time and say, Hey, just go have what you want right now. Go have a fucking dozen

donuts because you think you're craving it and then see how you feel in the difference. It's like learning to relate that, those feelings to where you're at nutritionally and what you're consuming, I think is, that this is also why, and we had this in a recent podcast where I know Sal doesn't track very much. This is why I track so much. This is why I make clients track so much

because then I feel like I can give this help to can give this help to them is to show them. Otherwise, if they just tell me like, oh, I had my breakfast today or all I just say that I don't know where to guide you from there. Yeah, well, step one of being mindful is knowing what you're doing. So you have to track when you get started. It's much, much further down the line

is where you don't necessarily have to track. Yeah, so. Clayton B. Hayton. He does? I like that. It's not. How does posture affect longevity? Ooh, cool question. This is a good question. This is one of those chicken of the egg questions, right? Because what may be causing poor posture may cause, you

know, bad longevity or short term, you know, longevity. Because you look at somebody, especially like an older person that's like a really hunched over. Like, you can almost see a timeline happening as far as like closer and closer to the ground. Well, thinking of it like this, if we are in the, which nobody walks around with, this village has pretend that, you know, everybody is in the perfect anatomical position. And if we're in that position, then our body is being supported

by its muscles, like it should be. The moment you take the body out of that anatomical position and you have some sort of around-it-back or your hips kicked to the side or your slouching or your knees are bowed in, now that stress goes away, now the muscles are no longer supporting it. Now you're getting stress on the ligaments and the joints. And over time, this is where arthritis happens a lot. A lot of people have, not a lot of people, people think they have arthritis because they think they just like,

you know, oh shit, bad luck, I have arthritis. Like, no, most arthritis that people have, unless you have like rheumatois or something that you were born with, most people, it's just wear and tear on the bones for so many years of poor diet. Poor diet. Yeah, and one of the one of the diet too, I'm sure.

And one of the biggest contributors to poor longevity is immobility, not being mobile. Yeah. In fact, it's a direct connection. You could see, you know, somebody who's, the biggest contributors to poor longevity is immobility, not being mobile. In fact, it's a direct connection. You could see somebody who's 70, break a leg or a hip, and their mortality rate goes through the roof because now they're not moving, they're in bed, and health really starts to decline at a very, very rapid pace. They think this is one of the reasons why when people retire, their mortality takes a

big spike because they think they should sit down on the couch now, relax. So posture, what makes posture bad will affect longevity, but poor posture itself may in fact affect longevity aside from the joint movement issues. There's lots of signs showing that posture affects chemicals in the brain in your mood. And in fact, we learned about power postures a while ago. you know, movement issues. There's lots of signs showing that posture affects chemicals in the brain and your mood.

And in fact, we learned about power postures a while ago. You know, if you look at when athletes win a race or when somebody is inside, throw their hands up. Yeah, everybody's a very natural, you know, arms up, you know, wide stance, puff your chest up, move and you can see this in any sport. You can see this. If you win the lottery, what you do, you throw, wide stance, puff your chest up, move. And you can see this in any sport, you can see this, if you win the lottery, what you do, you throw your hands up in the air

and you're just, ah, you know, and, you know, evolutionary scientists think it has to do with us showing our dominance, like exposing our weak areas, like, I am, you know, I am so confident, I can put my arms up and expose these vital organs or whatever. Smell my armpits. Yeah, but if you do this on your own,

if you're just chilling and you stand with your legs wide and put your arms out or you stand with tall posture versus being slouched or whatever, they can show elevated feel good chemicals and hormones. So I increase serotonin because you do something like that. Dope of means, serotonin, you know, cataclysmine production's changed. That's awesome.

No, you're telling yourself you're more powerful that way too. I mean, like that, you're in a strong position that way versus like, it really is like, you can tell when somebody is feeling weak, you know, how their, how their posture, like how it slouches and how they kind of slunched at the moment. Well, you could, you could tell that like their, their confidence level right? In confidence too. Exactly. Well, you're, you ever see those like young girl, you see this a lot like, especially teenage

girls when they're kind of growing and they, they're, they. Well, you're rectified. You ever see those like young girls, you see this a lot, like especially teenage girls when they're kind of growing and they're insecure and you'll see them with their hair covering half their face and their shoulders are kind of rounded. Almost like they went a hide away from everybody. They, so their mood could be contributing to their posture but their posture feeds back and also contributes to the mood because they've done studies where they've had people

who fell absolutely fine and they'll have them sit in a particular posture or position, and their mood will start to shift. And if you don't believe me, you could try as right now as you're listening. As you're listening, stand up, real tall, chin up, tall, confident posture, stand like that and see how you feel, and then try the reverse. You know, slouch forward, bring your shoulders forward,

cover yourself, because you're hiding away, hold that position for a while and see how the reverse. Slouch forward, bring your shoulders forward, cover yourself, like you're hiding away, hold that position for a while and see how you feel. So your posture will affect longevity itself, but then of course the things that affect your posture, how your muscles move, imbalances or recruitment patterns or whatever does that as well. And those things will affect longevity because obviously if I have a muscle imbalances, it's called the battery. So literally triggers a chemical response. Absolutely, that as well. And those things will affect longevity because obviously if I have a muscle imbalance,

it's called mentally triggers a chemical response. Absolutely, that's awesome. It's both, you know? You know what this reminds me of, and I find this fascinating because it's something that's been going on for centuries, right? Is the like Tai Chi. Oh yeah.

You know, like that they've been practicing that for so long. Yeah, like we're really diving a lot now. Like, you know, we're coming along with mobility and you're starting to see like Dr. Brink, people like that coming evolving and coming around where you know, chiropractic work is now evolving into this mobility thing in addition

to just realigning you in position. Like, it's not a passive process, they're putting it back into empowering people to figure out really how to get that connectivity back and get that movement and that to get that connectivity back and get that movement and that power and that strength back, you know, just by positioning your body and creating better patterns. And really that's what Tai Chi is, really it's about them getting into, and they use center,

right? That's what they say in their center and that's what your core, right, is what you're trying to. But that's when you talk about intrinsically moving through these movements and patterns and that when you see them do that, that's really what they're doing, right? They're doing all these movements that, and I love that, you know, you've got these people that are 70, 80, some 90-year-olds out there that are practicing and doing this. It's like, we wonder why they move so well,

they live so long. They're great circulation, you know? It's just like so many health benefits to moving your body and, you know, brain cognition, everything. It's all interrelated. Like, why are we separating the two? There's a really good TED talk on posture. I wish I remembered the name of it. Maybe when you guys can... Maybe when you guys can look it up for me, but it was a TED talk on power posture or how posture affects your mood or whatever. And they did some studies where people would go in to get an interview,

and they either practiced sitting in this kind of slouched position before the interview, so they'd sit like that, or standing in a power posture before the interview, then they'd go in and get interviewed, and it was pretty substantial. The people who did the power postures, you know, for five to ten minutes before going in, all scored much better. I believe in it. What's the name of it? Your body language shapes who you are. Your body language shapes who you are.

It's a TED Talk. Really interesting TED Talk. So, posture, what causes posture to look the way it does affects longevity and the posture itself affects longevity. And it's all very, and the posture itself affects longevity. And it's all very, very connected. In fact, posture really think about it as a very strong form of nonverbal communication. And I mean, you could see this, you go outside, you see people the way they walk or stand,

and they'll come across as being confident or not confident or impain or tired or energetic. They've done studies where women will look at pictures of men and the man standing with a different type of posture, tall with the chin up, they'll automatically be like, I like him, he looks more confident. And so even a selective mate will pick you based on just your posture. So it's extremely important when it comes to longevity
