If you want to pump your body and expand your mind, there's only one place to go. MIND, MIND, MIND, MIND, MIND, MIND, with your hosts. Salda Stefano, Adam Schaefer, and Justin Andrews. In this exciting episode of Mind Pump... It's January, motherfucker! It's time to get a shake! Booh! Yeah, everybody! For the first 32 minutes, we do our usual intro conversation. We talk about if mind pump moved to solo podcasting.

What would that be like? Yeah. You guys ready? Who suck? 2018, it's the Salta Stefano show. No. Don't piss everyone off. It's not true.

Hi, I'm Sal. Then we talk about narcissists and we confidence. Follow up. We talk about phoenix pheromones and chemistry between people. We talk about narcissists that we confidence, follow up. We talk about pharaohmones and chemistry between people. We talk about Dr.- Mel Smilgit. We talk about Dr. Bronners. They're Bronners or Boners?

Bronners, soap. And the wacky label, you gotta buy the soap and read the label. Just for the label. And figure out what the hell they're trying to say. By the way, you need to decipher this everybody. It's a good all natural soap. I've been using it forever.

You can find it at Thrive Market, who also happens to be one of our sponsors. If you go to thrivemarket.com forward slash mine pump, you will get one month free membership, $20 off your first three orders of $49 or more, and free shipping. We also talk about how stressed and diet affect the body smell because sometimes people stink and our animal like nature.

We also mention, Organify Green Juice. Adam actually uses it before his workouts. They are one of our sponsors. If you go to OrganifyShop.com, enter the code Mind Pump, No Space, you'll get a massive discount. Then we get into the questions. First question was, someone was asking us if our pre-workout rituals have changed,

they've been listening to the podcast for a long time. We used to do certain things before our workouts to get ready. They are radically different today. Why are they different? And what do we do that is different. The next question was, would we feel, or how do we feel about female only exercise areas in gyms? And what does that say about society?

They still exist, huh? Damn society. Yeah. Next question was, besides moving, better sleep and good nutrition, what are some of the other big rocks to improve the wellness of our children? Like, what should you focus on? Watch your kids, foe, to get your kids healthy besides, you know, moving more, sleeping better.

Pay a tangent. Pay a tangent. And finally, the last question is, this particular individual feels worse at first when they started detox program or protocol before they start feeling better. And of course, lots of people have experienced this, you know, when you go on a fast or you change your diet

radically, you feel crappy at first. Then you start to feel better. Why does that happen? What's going on in the body? Or we all just crazy? Also, this is January 2nd. You're right, you're in the beginning of the year. This is when everybody makes those resolutions

to get more fit or just to improve themselves. One of the problems with making these resolutions that in our experiences, people just don't have a plan. Like they go into January like, okay, I'm going to work out, I'm going to get in better shape, I'm going to eat better. What does that mean? I mean, you can work out right or you can work out the wrong way, both of which will create drastically different results for your body.

We have something called the Maps Super Bundle. Now, the Maps Super Bundle includes several of our workout programs, several of our maps programs. And if you do them in a row as we've laid them out, you'll have the entire year planned out for you. You'll be able to work out every single week. You'll know what to do, what exercises to do.

You'll be able to see us demonstrating them in videos. You'll have exercise blueprints. Your goals will change throughout the year. They'll be correctional components. They'll be athletic components. They'll be aesthetic components and strength components. Your workouts will never get boring because things will be changing,

but we're progressing you throughout the entire year so that when you go into 2019, you're looking and feeling amazing. Also because it's a new year, because it's January, if you enroll in any bundle, because we have more than just a super bundle. We also have the sexy athlete bundle, we have the build your butt bundle, prime pro bundle, so different bundles, which combine different maps programs based on your goals. If you enroll in any bundle, you're going gonna get a free mind pump t-shirt.

Now these things, whoo, are always limited edition. This is a sexy one. So you're gonna get yourself a shirt. They're gonna be gone. You'll be one of the only ones to have the shirt, so you'll be super cool. It's a good time to enroll in one of our bundles. For more information, all you gotta do is go to

Get some. Welcome to the Sal Power Hour with his two sidekicks. The two power balls, lefty and righty. Oh man. We. Hey, K90FF. Yeah, we're host DJ Jase Jase. We're here a lot with Sal, this is Stefano.

This is the Stefano. Oh, wow. Blimey. Lightning. Sal, Matto Gigante. Take it away, Sal. Adam Schiffer. The Schiffer.

We should do episodes where we each pretend to be like the main dude. You know what we're saying? We've all agreed that there is a special magical chemistry amongst the three of us and that a mind pump would never be where it's at if there was just one of us, right? Yeah. What part? You're gonna shut that out of him.

Yeah. Me and Jess some starting to the park. We're starting to own so little thing. Fuck you guys. Yeah. What would be if it was only you running this show, what would be the worst part about it? Oh, the worst part?

Yeah, the worst part. I don't even hear you fucking stroke yourself. I need to. Well, if this was the same. I'll get ready, I'll let you tell you. Where, what would you tell you? What would be the worst part? God, I don't know.

If you're doing it by yourself. Yeah, first. You know, that's easy for me. Not only for yourself personally, but also as a listener too. Like, what would they like? I'd be so polarizing, dude. By myself, I'd be so polarizing. Yeah, you'd have a...

Which is not necessarily a bad thing actually. It would divide a lot of people, right? Oh, man. You and I have that economy. You just have a really like niche market that was like feverish towards you. I just piss a lot of people off. And then you have everybody else that hated you. Because if I get in a bad mood,

then I become like, we make you more likeable. Totally. Otherwise, I'm like, you know, mega, you know, pompous asshole. Yes, I think. This is the ego explosion show. Pfff.

Hi, I'm Salon. I know everything. I know the entire universe. I'm an expert on being an expert. Well, you know, I've never wrong. I already annoyed myself. All right, you're turn, guys. I think people get really frustrated with me with all, because without you guys, I'd probably be making up at least three to five words at an episode.

And then people will be like, fuck it. I think it's something worse. That's your going easy on yourself. No. I'd be like, Captain Trail off. You know, like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to five words at episode. And then people will be like, fuck it. That's not that bad. I think it's something worse. That's your going easy on yourself. No.

I would be like, Captain Trail off. You know, like I'll start talking about something and then I would just go on like, 20,000 different tangents. Rams and water. Everything would just go away from me. Nobody would be able to rain me in. And it would be horrible.

You know what the worst thing about your episodes would be Justin, is you wouldn't know what to name it. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Even later, like, I talked about a lot of stuff. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what to do today.

The suffocates. You know, like, name something. Yeah. You gotta give us a better one at him. Than that, okay. Yeah, because that's not that bad. Well, I mean mine, for sure, I'm like you, like I'm very loved and hated. You know what I'm saying?

There's not a lot of middle of the road people with me. Like, oh, like, yeah, I'm a misguided guy. Like, you either like me or you really don't like me. We're lucky of middle of the road people with me. Like, oh, like, I'm a misguided guy. It's like, you either like me, or you really don't like me. We're lucky because the people that hate you, like me. I know, that's how I'm the people that don't like me. Oh, 100% that is for sure. Oh, wait, hold on, don't like me like you, sir.

It is weird. That's for sure the magic between this. We planned it that way. You know, we took a personality test. I know, the irony is we're very much so a lot of like. That's what's funny. Which I think the things that people don't like about each of us individually,

it's just the deliveries different. Right. So I think, so like when I get, nobody doesn't like Justin. If somebody, if somebody complaint, no, everybody is like, really good, I never everybody. Which is ironic because in real life,

Justin's an asshole. So real life is the biggest. Yeah, in real life, we guys would definitely like, Justin or Salah. I was like a bully, so this is all new to yeah, he like he hits kids and ran Just ran him Get your kid out of the mouth. He's fucking slap kids

He's got everybody. Hey, grandma. He needed it. A kid needed it. Push that kid in the wheelchair over Went too far. Wow, I'm not that much of an asshole. No, I think a lot of people that, over the course of the time that we've been building this thing that have ever said anything that negative to me about any of you, it's more sad than Justin always, it's hard never Justin. And if it's sad, it's actually.

He's filled bad for me. Well, it's actually a- He's filled bad for me. He's filled bad for me. He's filled bad for me. No, not at all. I'm telling over the course of three years, if there's ever been some-

Is that one guy? No, I've had. I'm telling over the course of three years, if there's ever been, there's yeah. No, I've had the same thing to you. I know that. But what they, it's people that actually just misunderstand you. It's never like the things that they like, oh, I don't really like so because he's, he thinks he knows it all. And if you meet you in person,

like if you know you as a person, you're not like that. That doesn't, yeah, it doesn't come across at all. You don't converse that way. Like if you're having a back and forth conversation, they're just getting, they're hearing it. And so it sounds like you're talking to everybody all the time and you're just not receptive people. Right. And they're putting up a wall right away. I like, oh, fuck you. I don't want to hear it. Right. And actually, you're not like, you're not ready to hear the truth. That's it. That's where

Adam comes in like a fucking wrecking ball. That's you, you're the fucking truth, you asshole. So I think that even the few complaints over the years that I have had over your personality, it's misunderstood. I think you're mis, and I think I'm misunderstood. I think for a lot of people that think on this arrogant, I mean, fuck, I don't know who started it, who nicknamed me the ego to start this. But people took that and ran like on this arrogant. I mean, fuck, we, I don't know who started it who nicknamed me the ego to start this

But it's people took that in ran like on this super cocky type of person and I'm very confident 100% But I don't I don't think I'm a I think pretty humble too, dude. There's very humbles I think that was something I used to teach to my staff all the time was that you're very confident in your humbleness You're a little cocky about being humble. We need to fix that. But I used to tell people that I think the the the truest or greatest art to be a really good leader is to be ultra confident yet humble at the same time. I think to be a great leader.

You have to you have to who was it? It was a psychology test that we took. So it's an old episode. So if you want to, I don't know if you can psychology test that we took. So it was an old episode. So if you wanna, I don't know if you can find it, it's way back in the 100th. Oh, the 100th narcissism. Yeah, and we all got this really in depth psychology test done on us by an actual psychology professor

and a good friend of mine. And we all ranked higher than normal in narcissism, which sounds bad. And when we first looked at it, we're like, oh shit. And she goes, no, no, no, she goes, if entrepreneurs and leaders always tend to score higher in narcissism, because you have to, like if you, you have to think you're good or better than most people in order to lead them. Otherwise, why would you? Right. You know what I'm saying? You don't feel you're, you're ready for it. Yeah. You're not, well, you're not will or you're not or better than most people in order to lead them. Otherwise, why would you?

Right. You know what I'm saying? You don't feel you're ready for it or you're not will or you're not worthy of it. So I felt better about that. Yeah. But you said that. Well, there's some vindication.

There's some truth that though. If you're going to be leading, you can't lead. You can't lead. You can't be confident. You can't not be confident and lead a group of people in a direction. Otherwise, they'll stop following or taking a walk by yourself. I am not going to follow a dude that's like,

all right, everybody, I think it might be safe. It might be, we might, it may be, I think it's okay. What do you guys think? I think the bears are sleeping. Yeah, I'd be like, you better fucking know. Yeah, I'll follow the guy that's like, oh, for sure, it's this way. Even if he doesn't know what's going on.

Right. You're gonna be like, well, if he's that confident, yeah. He might, we'll take a sword. That's my secret. That's really my secret if you really think about it. Yeah, is you just, if you, if you believe it,

they'll believe it. That's it. So you have to trick yourself. I believe that. You have to trick yourself into believing things. Yeah, so I think you and I have the same, would have the same issue with our show. You would have a group of people that enjoy it,

that totally identify with us and like relate to us. You'd have more bros, I'd have more hippies. Yeah. Oh yeah, for sure. Cause when you look at the people that don't like, you do this, that's probably, you turn off the bros cause you feel like you, and they feel like you insult them a little bit,

you know what I'm saying? And I think that, When they can figure out how to use their iPhone to quit from the iPhone. And I think like the super intellects, that hang on to every word and everything think that when they can figure out how to use their iPhone to click and I think like the super intellects that hang on to every word and everything like that. You know, because I'm typical I'm a fumble shit around like they don't like that. I'll tell you why I learned this a long time ago. Life is too short to give a shit about what other random people like think. You know

I'm saying. Yeah. And the irony of that all is and this is my figured out relatively recently. The irony of it is, the less you start caring, the more people actually, it starts to, more people respond to it. Yeah, like, they want that, it's like refreshing. You know, totally. Somebody is just completely themselves, and it gives zero fucks, it's like,

I love those people. Dude, I remember as a little kid, all you wanted to do was be like everyone else, because God forbid you stood out, right? If you're an elementary school in junior high, if you stood out, it was a bad thing. But then as you got older, if you were like everybody else, you, it wasn't a good thing.

Like the guy that stood out was the one that got the attention, he's the one that got the girls, he's the one that, you know, was, you know, everybody kind of appreciated, right? It was that weird person against the grain, and I appreciate weird people that really, really do. And I don't mean weird as in like your, you know, pick your scabs off and eat them.

Well, I mean, you're just, you're just, you don't mind, because I think everybody's weird if they're just really truly themselves, you know what I'm saying? If you're out in society and you're really just who you really are, I think most people are looking and be like, guy, that guy's a little weird guy.

He's smiling on our pits. Yeah, that's a little bit weird. Do you smile on our pits sometimes? Everybody does. You wanna know, here's what's weird. This is my, she's gonna be so mad. Hmm. I cannot tell.

I like how you preface that. Sorry Jessica. Wherever this goes. I cannot tell if my girlfriend has BL.O. I can't tell. Wow. And you've really done an investigation job. Oh yeah. Like she'll be like, oh man, I just worked out whatever.

You're attracted to her fair amounts. Exactly. But it's so weird because I don't remember who it was. Her dad was over something. He was teasing her because she had worked out in the morning. We had in shower and he's like, oh, you know, he's like, you got B.O. And, you know, we start laughing. And so then she checks and she's like, oh, I do, I'm gonna go shower.

So then I'm like, come here, I can't smell bad on you. Like, I just smell you and it doesn't smell bad. I used to think that this fur mone. I used to think dirty animals though. It's like, I like it. I wasn't gonna say that, but it's true, dude. Well, I get around. I used to think that was a sign of that's the person you're supposed to be with.

Right? If you have like, if you're attracted to their pheromones and you're attracted to their pheromones, but I also think that there's so many other now, I think back maybe we evolved that way, right? So I think maybe back in the days like that was before communication and things like that like it was, it was just probably smell. You walked up. Wow. There's this match and then also there's chemistry there.

Where now you could have that like smell thing going on with someone like oh man her pheromones her her smell is just amazing, but then she's a fucking bitch Imagine if we could bet she smells good when she's thinking I don't give a fuck if she's a bitch Dogs that go around smell each other's assholes. It's like they know everything about them after that. Yeah, yeah, I won't go that far Yeah, no, I'm talking about armpits. Okay, I'm not like, hey babe, come here. Listen, blow one on my face. No, it's, so I do think it's a redeeming quality

that somebody can have now, but it's not like it used to be. So it doesn't mean you're compatible in all areas. It's not. Of course it just means your DNA, because they've actually done studies on this. And I'm not going to fucking tell you where the study is. Okay. Before I get a bunch of messages, I need a Google. I get people asking. I had a glossary. Hey, Sal, can you tell me the study that you referred to that said 0.7 grams of protein for a pound? Like all you

got to do is this. Google, you had exactly what you use. Google the same question you asked. But anyway, they've done studies on this and people who like each other's smells, they'll do DNA tests and they'll find that they'll be highly compatible with their, like if they would have offspring, where their likelihood of having a healthy offspring is much higher based off that. So I don't think it's telling you,

like this is the person we'll be with for 10, 20 years, it's telling you, I wanna bang this person and then our genes will probably mix. Well, you know what I'm saying? But yeah, no, she can't, it's weird, man. I'll smell it, I just like, smells good to me.

Yeah, I'm ready to go. It's kind of weird, right? You guys don't like my smell, so that's good. No, I'm not, yeah, I'm saying. I'm not yet, I'm not gonna say this. All right, so I'm gonna read something to you. I'm not gonna tell you what I'm reading. See if you guys can figure it out.

Okay. All right. Let's get this game. First, if I'm not for me, who am I? Nobody. Well. Second, yes, if I'm only for me, what am I? Nothing.

Third, if not now, when? Once more, unless constructive selfish, I work hard, like Mark Spitz, perfecting first time. Absolutely nothing can help protect me. me fourth only hard work can save us But if we can but if we teach only our clan We are all hated then and it just continues on and on and on yeah I'll read all like a high I'll read one more part on this

Who else but God gave man love that can spark mere dust to life and then there's more. So remember what, this is from the Dr. Bronners. Oh, you, I knew it. Magic sounded wacky enough to be that dude. So here's a deal, like it is fucking weird, but it's more than weird. Yeah, it's more than weird.

I feel like break it down. I feel like some of our smart listeners needs to go, okay, this is what you do. Dr. Bronner's soap, by the way, great product. I've been using it for a very long time. I've been using it for a long time. Thrive market sells it for hell of cheap. I get it for, literally get like all versions of soap

you know, from Dr. Bronner's. I love their soap. They've been around for a long time. Didn't realize that it was this fucking weird, the whole label, because if you look at the label, it's a bunch of writing. And it looks old school, because I think that's what they're looking for.

But it's weird when you read it, I want some of our smart listeners to buy Dr. Bronner's, or if you already have Dr. Bronner's, like, let's figure this out. There's some breakdown as philosophy, like his overarching sort of theme. There's some hidden messages. Yeah, there is a little old testament, Bessik.

It's not just that, it's a bunch of other shit. Yeah, but yeah, it gets a lot more crazy. Dude, I wonder if you can decipher this, if you'll find, if you'll find, if you look him up, is he like a philosopher or anything? So I did, I did look him up, and it's a weird story about Dr. Bronners.

But what I would like to do is I feel like if somebody looked like red this and broke it down, someone's smart. So I want it decoded. Yes. Right? I bet you there's a fucking chest of gold hidden in someone that could find. You could find, you know what it is.

It's something like, it's probably like, you know, how they're trying to get that treasure in Oak Island. He's probably like leading people to that direction. Yes, yes, I would, it's really weird to read about. It's a treasure hunt of some sort. He was a super, I'm not gonna lie, I'm gonna have to buy some of the soap now that you guys have been talking about so much. I did.

I had no desire before. It's all natural I'm assuming. Yes. It's all, yeah, lots of natural ingredients anyway. Yeah, so he's so it's very religious. Let me see what else. Did I do everything body soap, hair soap, is it everything?

So it's soap that can be used for anything. It's like old school soap. Cause you know, back in the day, you had soap. You didn't have soap, shampoo, or even my wash. So my best friend, his mom, made us this stuff one year. And it worked as body soap hair hair shampoo and toothpaste. So you could do all it had it had just a hint of that last motion the toothpaste one.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Brush your teeth with your hair. I wish you guys would have seen that. What is the universal side for brushing your teeth? Everybody now stop what you're doing and make a brush your teeth movement. But close your eyes.

See what it looks like. I'm open to my mouth. Yeah, while you're driving, while you're driving your car, let's do it in my butt right now. Do the universal brushing your teeth on, and then tell us what people react. You know how they react.

No, so I think that I, she used to do this. It was amazing. Like I could, like I get in the shower, I just bring my toothbrush in the shower and Lather up my body, my hair, Squirted in my mouth and brush my teeth. It was hilarious. That's weird. It was all natural products. Everything was a made with all of your body I wish I remember everything that was in fact. I do I do remember the my least favorite part was the

Breshing my teeth though like the same stuff that was going on my head in my body. Yeah, that's a weird idea You know, it's really good to brush your teeth with I know somebody listening right now I's probably got some shit that they can do that. You know, it's really good to brush your teeth with Char activated charcoal. Yeah, I've heard Activated charcoal is supposed to be excellent to brush your teeth But and then it makes your whole mouth black and it's not satisfying it is like you know, lathered toothpaste Of course, they've conditioned us to want that. They put soap in there to make it foam up.

So you think it's better, but the lather does fuck all for you. That's an English term. It means nothing. It does zero for you when you brush your teeth in the foams. Same thing with shampoo in the foams. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? This is a whole marketing. Are you guys loyal to like products,

like shampoo and stuff like that? Not anymore. You just use swav. I have not, I just like don't give a fuck. I think the generation coming up right now doesn't give a fuck and I think that you know we are watching Amazon completely change the marketing game because there are so many great companies out there now and now. Oh no, I think people are still loyal.

I just don't think they care about the brand name. I think they find a product and then they like it. Yeah, I care about the ingredients now. No, but over like the label. Yeah, and what Adam's referring to is a high rating on Amazon or a high rating on whatever, way more than a brand. Yeah, you know what I mean?

It's that feedback. Everybody wants to know, like, you know, that's so free market. Because what happened in the past was you couldn't rely on that because you might not know anybody that's used those products. Right. Because you have a small circle. And you think the company's really just promoting that.

Yeah, so if a company's been around for a long time, you kind of trust them. You know that, okay, whatever brand Calvin Klein makes underwear, been around long times. That's the one. But now, because you can now compile hundreds of thousands of reviews and get general rating from a bunch of people, you can trust that and you can say, you know what, forget this company that I've been using

forever, I'm gonna try this new one, which normally people don't do that, right? I'm gonna try this new one because it's got a fighting system. It's awesome. Yeah, I know, it is interesting to see how that's all thing. It's very interesting.

What kind of shampoo do you use, Adam? I have this stuff, what does it Katrina get me? It's this new stuff that I have right now and it has that kind of teatry oil smell that I don't like for my psoriasis on my head. You don't like teatry oil? I hate teatry oil. Really?

And I know it's, but my girl's got but my girl's got a stringent, right? No, stringent. Dude, it's great for my psoriasis. It's great for nails, dry skin, like dandruff, all these things, it's great for. I used to do T-Gel a long time ago, but this is like another version of that and I can't, I wish I remember the brand,

I've only been using it for like three months or so. So I use, I'll look it up and tell you guys. So I, in my family, it 100% runs in my family to go bald, like 100%. I am fucked on either direction, whatever I'm supposed to be bald. My brother's losing his, my dad's, you know, he's got a little bit on the top

where my grandfather was like a cue ball. But I've been using a Saul Palmetto shampoo for probably 10 years now. And my hair is definitely thinned, but I got most of it. You have a great joy. For sure you probably have the best hair out of all of us. No. Oh, dude. Look at Justin.

Justin will never lose a single hair. It's all there, but it's like white though. Justin's gonna be white by time he's your age. But it looks like Anderson Cooper. Yeah, whatever. You have the perfect salty peppery handsome look. Like you've looked 40 since you were 20. That's true man.

Like you've looked distinct. You've looked at it on thick. You look distinguished since you were 20. Yeah. You guys are. Yeah, I like Justin. Your hair is nice dude. When it turns all white, it's gonna be nothing else.

You're gonna look like Steve Martin. Steve Martin. I can only hope yeah remember Steve Martin get my banjo I'm bringing you no no no yeah what do you just see Martin is yes dude do you understand that Steve Martin's one of like the best banjo players out there oh shit you know way more about it than I did you just got schooled on that I did I got your job there you go I don't know everything. I only know good things Anyway, yes, just to fight speaking of B.O. Did you know that if you're that your smell will change? Based on your mood any motion? What is that? I get oniony some change. Yes

Yes, you're like anxiety so so if you're S. If you're anxiety or... So, so if you're, yes, if you're anxious, or like super nervous and you sweat, that is far more likely to produce the B.O. smell than if you just sweat normally. Yeah. Because my wife actually trips on how like little, like it might be always, like I don't smell at all and I sometimes I don't shower for a while

and I don't smell, but then there's those days where it's like really bad. You know what I mean? Like it's... It's not my day three or four without the shower. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like the fourth day. You know what I mean? It just, it comes in like a truck,

like a garbage truck. Wow, yeah. I'm reading studies on it. There's actual studies on it. Isn't that cool? Anziety can make your sweat smell worse. There you go. I was actually, yeah.

What is happening? Obviously, we know stress is changing your hormones, your hormones, but what is it doing with the sweat? How is it changing the smell? So that's interesting. Your smell is a result of your microbiome that's on your skin. And you have bacterial signature, or bacteria signature type colonies throughout your whole body.

So there's a particular type of breakdown that's on your eyes, that's on your scalp, that's on your dick, that's on your fricking armpits, everywhere is a little bit different, but it's very unique. Now, if your pH changes in your skin, it can promote the proliferation of certain types of bacteria, and anxiety tends to promote the proliferation of a type of bacteria that creates

a byproduct, which is that smell. Which is that smell. But what's weird about that is why did we evolve that? Yeah, no, is it like a repulsion, kind of a, is it like attracting or is it repulsing? It, well, it's bio-stinks. Right, but some people like that. That stink?

They're freaks. I don't, yeah, no, I don't think they think they like the bio-stinks. I don't like a natural smell. It's a good question. Well, I think, okay, so if, if you're, when you're stressed or when you're diet is way off, those two things both can manipulate that smell,

you're not unhealthy signals. Right, it's an unhealthy signal. Maybe it's the other way. Right, yeah. It could say that this person is not optimal for mating with because they are super high-striking care themselves. Right, very true.

So, I mean, if I was guessing why we evolved that way, that's what I would guess is that that makes the most sense to make. And the common sense. I'd be, it'd be interesting to see what affects the smell more poor diet or stress, because I would think it's a common, well, yeah, both are bad, right? Because I know the diet will, I've seen people smell change just by their diet. I noticed a big difference in, and Katrina's, I'm very, I'm very sensitive to smell, right?

We've already established this. And so I noticed a significant difference In her her body smells when she switched over to ketogenic diet When she stopped eating a lot of carbohydrates and processed food. They get better or worse? Oh way better Like a big and she wasn't bad before but I if she is she's gonna back way back I love you honey you. You smell great. You know, so she, I'm sure she's not gonna like this episode. No, there was a significant difference when,

and she knows it, because she knows it in her skin too. Like she would break out sometimes. I noticed that my wife's breath. Yeah. Right, all those things. We're winning points. Yeah, I'll care.

That we won't tell, like we won't release this, but the girls know about this one right. No, I'm just keeping it real and I think that she's one of the few girls that I had been with long enough. I had seen a change in the diet, consistency on both sides to make that assumption. You know what I'm saying? Because I hadn't spent enough time with any other woman before and after eating a certain way to have something really to measure.

Otherwise, I could just think that, oh, maybe she just smells better today because she didn't sweat or because she, whatever. But now I've seen it long enough like where she was eating before and then how she's eating now. Dude, how funny is that? Significant difference.

We don't even, Western societies in medicine doesn't even consider, unless it's extreme, doesn't consider smell to be an indicator of health, good or bad. When it for sure is, it's not the indicator, but it's definitely a signal. It is a signal. 100% in fact, they have dogs, no joke,

I'm not exaggerating or making shit up. There are trained dogs that can smell cancer. I've heard this. They'll come and sniff, there's a fucking, There are trained dogs that can smell cancer. I've heard this. They'll come and snip There's there's a fucking they have a dog that can smell if you have Parkinson's early early pocket Parkinson's Yeah, because all I know that that's crazy. Yes. I believe it though. I swear they can sense death to dude I'm like imminent like a few hours beforehand. Well bro Think about like your body if you're getting one of these disorders something's changing and you why wouldn't it change?

Mm-hmm a scent that you're getting one of these disorders, something's changing and you why wouldn't it change a scent that you're giving off? Now what chemistry is gonna change? And I think that although humans obviously we don't have a sense of smell like a dog, I think we've been so, we've lost our ability to utilize that sense like we used to because we're just not in touch with it,

we're not in tune with it, you know what I'm saying? But fucking weird, right? I think for sure this is something we need to consider. Like just not in touch with it. We're not in tune with it. You know what I'm saying? But fucking weird, right? I think for sure this is something we need to consider. Like if I know me for, okay, I'll use me as an example. Like if I, my diet is good, my farts don't smell. Straight up, they don't smell. Yeah, at all. Well not as bad.

No, they just don't smell. There isn't as smell Justin. I'm sorry bro. I don't believe you. I have the same thing with mine's burps. So I have these nasty burps. I've told you guys before that I get like if I'm sorry, bro. I don't believe you. I have the same thing with mine's burps. So I have these nasty burps. I've told you guys before that I get like if I'm drinking soda and stuff like that, but when my diet is clean, one, I'm hardly ever burping.

And if I do, it's not ranked. Smell it. Yeah, they're smell it. But when I'm drinking soda, I'm off on the diet and I burp. It's so nasty. I'll burp in the car. I can choose how to roll the window down. As if I farted. That's how bad my burp.

So it's like acid-y. You know, I don't know what a different burp taste in the... Like the Fremunda. Like I don't know what your burps taste and smell like because I've never been... It depends on if it's like one of those deep ones. It's like really from the bowels.

It's a beautiful... Yeah. Oh, man. Oh god. Oh, I just deem and just left me. You know what I just didn't believe us right now because his thoughts always smell Yeah, yeah, it's always on at least a trace Yes, there's a signature no dude signature part of the rules in I've done it left I've done it in the science. I've done it in the show. You know in the shower how it hits you right away because there's no filter

I've done in the shower nothing not a single single like, nothing, it's because my diet's good. You know what I'm saying? What is it about us humans to make you want to smell your own butt and your own fart? I don't think that's true. Yes it is. You want to? Yeah, absolutely.

You want to know your own brand. I always want to smell my fart. Like you want to because you enjoy it or you're just checking. I can't want to know what everybody else is experiencing. I think in my head, I'm justifying that I just, I'm checking, but if I've been doing it for 30 something years and I keep doing it,

I keep, what am I checking? Is it working, is it all like, but you do, do do not tell me. I wonder if it's you. You don't far and then take a big whiff. Just check it. What am I brewing today? Yeah, right.

Why do we do that? Maybe interesting. Maybe it's instinctive. Maybe we learn to do that to check our own health. And why do I bite my nails? Check my health. Nobody taught me to do that. Lidy nails?

Yeah, like you. Oh, so that's a big problem for me, right? Ever since I was a kid and I fucking passed that shit onto my kids because they do the same thing. And I read about it and apparently they used to think it was an OCD thing, but it's not. It's something that people who are, if people are perfectionist, they like to do it. But it's not OCD. Don't ask me the difference. They don't know.

I don't see it. Katrina always said, oh, you're stressed. Why you keep biting your nails? You would even, I'm like, no, they need to be trimmed. And I take care of them. You guys look at my, if you look at my hands and my finger, they look like, yeah, I'm really good with my teeth. You know what I say? Yeah, and I don't know who taught me when I was little, but if we had any fans that were attracted to it, they're all gone. They're gone now. We've secured that that one right there. The animals. So we do some we do some shit, right? Why do we have this? Why do we have this habit to pick it? Scabs? Why do we have and there's not things that your mum

or someone taught you to do or you saw some of this. We suppressed our instincts. You know what I mean? We're animals at the end of the day. We're such animals. We are. We all want to think we're better than that. We pretend so much.

We're not bad at that. We shave our body hair in total denial of our monkey nature. You know what I'm saying? Like why are we doing that? Literally, I mean, there's people with like multiple neples, you know what I mean? What? Yeah. You went too far again.

You did. Where did you go there, dude? I'm saying, like, we're like mammals, you know, that have, uh, uh, uh, uh, people do extra titties. There are some weird, yeah. There's, there's titties like that. Titties. Titties.

Mammal teeth. You got to make up your mind. It's teeth. Well, titties. I kind of like titties because it's new. Yeah, I don't. It's like, it's teet. Well, I can't like teeties, because it's new. Yeah, that's like, that's not like a t-shirt brand, isn't it? Teeties. Teeties. It might be.

Like with the D. Yeah, I know, we're total animals. We pretend like we're not. Everything we do is driven by these instincts and then we create this freaking elaborate culture around all these weird things to make it seem like it's we're fucking complex when we're not. were just so smart we're just smelling each other trying to have sex and that's basically it in food any right basically it right we over complicate things sometimes that's it

That's O-R-G-A-N-I-F-I dot com and use a coupon code mine pump for 20% off at checkout Our first question is from Alicia a Warren Listen to an old podcast have any of your pre workout rituals changed big time Yeah, man my pre workout ritual is so different than it used to be now So I'm gonna tell you what it used to be. I'm gonna tell you what it is now What I used to do is I used to take, I used to supplement. Bunch of stimulants. So, yeah, so 30 minutes before I would take citralline, I would take branching amino acids, I would take glutamine, I would take stimulants like caffeine, then I would foam roll for

probably 20 minutes before my workout, and then I would start roll for probably 20 minutes before my workout and then I would start my workout. Now I drink coffee before my workout. So all I have is caffeine. Maybe some, and the coffee I drink is Cameras. So it's got theine and all these stuff in there. So it's just coffee because I realize that all those other amino acids and stuff

are largely a waste of money and time. And now I don't do any foam rolling at all, which is the biggest change. All I do now is priming, which is crazy because had you told me five years ago that I would be able to work out without foam rolling before I had, I would have said you were crazy

because I had reached a point where if I didn't foam roll before my workout, shit would hurt for the first half of my workout. Now it's all priming. Now I'm like 90, 90. I'm activating muscles while I'm in particular stretches. I'm doing, basically I'm doing a bunch of prime pro stuff. Then I jump into my workout and it's literally

one or two warm upsets max and then I'm going heavy. Whereas before it was this fucking long bullshit, you know, thing that I had to do, just to be able to get, you know, full range of motion. I think mine's changed. It's in a similar way, right? So when I was competing, I was probably doing quite a bit of pre-workouts compared to what I do now.

But if I'm also being completely honest too, you know, I'll use a, you know, crazy pre- a month maybe twice in a month like when I there's this when there's a day that I just really need to fucking Rant myself up So they I still keep one at my house always there's always one for me to school But like I can buy a pre workout and it'll last me almost a year like six months to a year because I'd take it that little right and So but that was something I was taking on a more regular basis, meaning like I was doing it three to four,

sometimes five times in a week, I was using a pre workout to get me up. So, now most of the time, I'll have a chimera coffee, there's some time in the morning or a couple hours before my workout. And ever since we signed with Organifi, I've been drinking the green juice.

And the green juice gives me, it's not a stimulant like fucking a pre-workout. So if you're looking for something that's gonna just like, why are you crazy? Like it's not designed to do that. But it does give me a nice sustained energy throughout the day. You know, I'm trying to figure out why that is

because I noticed the same thing, but it's not super, what's the word, it's not super evident. It's like you're drinking like boom. Yeah, no, it's not like that. But you do feel. It takes sustainable. It's weird, right? Well, let me tell you what I'm trying to figure out

what's doing. Let me tell you what Ashwagandha is. Yeah, the adaptive genic properties it has. That could be some of what I attributed to to is I notice so the way I use it Right, I use my green juice to help supplement the lack of greens that I'm eating on a regular basis. I just I Like to admit there. I like to think that I get enough greens every single day, but in reality I don't and in fact I consistently miss My greens target on a daily basis more than I actually get it And in fact, I consistently miss my green's target

on a daily basis more than I actually get it. So that's why it's become pretty much a staple thing that I drink. Although of course, I'm always trying to get my greens naturally. Now I've had days where I have two, three, four, five days in a row of man, four to six servings of vegetables. And I feel the same way. So what I think it's more is it's making sure I'm hitting some micronutrient targets that

I wasn't hitting before. I can see that. And by making sure that I'm getting what I need, it just keeps me this more sustained energy throughout the day. So the green juice has become a staple, and it doesn't necessarily need to be a pre-workout before. I've trained myself to be a guy who shakes up something before he goes to the gym and he drinks something So I've just squished it is a ritual. It is it is and I've been doing this for a fucking long time

So I've already got the habit doing it. That's the best time It's like in a perfect world. Maybe I had the green juice in the morning or night before bed And you could argue that maybe that's better to do but for me I've already trained myself to have these weird rituals before I go to the gym. I've now replaced something that's fucking loaded full of stimulants and I'm starting to make that a habit of using my green juice and it's been doing wonders for me as far as how I feel.

So that's been a, and then just like you, and those that have been listening to the podcast since the beginning know this because I think I was the first one to say that he eliminated the foam roll. So I remember we were talking one time and I said, you know, it's been six months that I haven't used a foam roll ever since we started creating prime and prime pro and getting into mobility. I went from being a guy just like you who spent 15 to 20 minutes, religiously foam rolling and stretching before he trained. And just like you, I had to 20 minutes religiously phone rolling and stretching before he trained and just like you, I had to ease my way into my lifting.

To now, I prime, it only takes me like five, 10 minutes tops to get myself warmed up and then I'm right into it and I feel better than I've ever felt my life doing more dynamic flexibility than doing static type stuff. I used to have to eat and really schedule my eating before the workout, like an hour, two hours ahead of time. And like that was like, in my head, it was stuck that that's where I was getting all my energy

to be able to accomplish the list. I wanted to accomplish and to kill it in the gym. And then I started getting into fasting, intermittent fasting, and just realized that I still could have energy, and my performance wasn't completely dependent on that. That's something that I sort of actually realized that when I would overfeed before the workout, it would actually take away from my performance on some level, and I would feel a little bit more lethargic. So that was interesting.

I've definitely changed that. And obviously the dump schedule with that, I said, drop, drop a doose, you know, all the worse than having to put like 20 minutes into your workout. Like I would always have to plan on that, you know, going into workout. Oh, I don't have to do that as much. You're making me so angry on that. Yeah. But I mean, obviously the, the the priming's been a game changer.

And just to reiterate what everybody's talked about, it's definitely something that we've applied personally ourselves. I'll tell you what, if you priming proper priming, and when I say proper, I mean, it's individualized. Because a warm up, general warm up is not individualized to your body. So although you'll get some benefit from moving the body and getting the central nervous system firing and feeling, you know, the muscles feel a little more pliable and all that stuff, you'll get some benefit from that. But if you don't individualize your priming session, you're missing out massively.

Like, well, and to make it even more specific, it makes a huge difference. I mean, to what you're doing that day, I mean, if you can really nerd out and see like what kind of performance gains you get just by being that specific and really getting the most out of each one of them. Dude, I will add, when I started priming properly, I was just from the priming, I was adding five to 10 pounds on most of my lifts

earlier to my workout. So not only was I adding more weight, but I was adding more weight quicker in the workout with having to warm up so much, and it's for sure the priming because I've tested it on and off. It reminds me of, so like, let's use Benchford, an example, like you would have to do, like a couple sets of like warm-up sets sometimes, like with lightweight, just to get that type of response, you know, and like, I've eliminated that, and that took a lot of time out. Right.

Yeah, no, it makes a huge difference. Priming is a very big deal, and it's better than any pre-workout you can take. Well, remember when we created Maps Prime and Prime Pro, we did it with the intention of, okay, you know, we got all this great feedback that we helped so many people save a ton of money that they were wasting on supplements every single month, you know, we got all this great feedback that we helped so many people save a ton of money that they were wasting on supplements every single month, you know, you have, I mean, I know some people like myself that were spending $150 to $300 every month on supplements that were just, that in my head, I turned into these rituals that I thought that's what I needed to do to get those

type of gains that once I eliminated that, implementing something like priming, I'm getting the same or more results than I ever could have thought I could have got from any sort of supplement. So it is weird though that we do create rituals before we do things that we deem important. And it is an important part of your workout. I recommend everybody have a ritual before their workout and before they go to bed. Anything you do that's important to you, that ritual sets the stage

and it doesn't matter what that ritual is, by the way. Like some people and you see athletes have been doing this for years. For years or for decades, athletes have been creating their own rituals where, oh, before a big game, we gotta jump and hit the fucking picture of whatever or I gotta wear a particular jersey or I put my right shoe on first.

Not wash my undershoot for the entire season. I put my right shoe on first, or whatever, or we all need to sing the song, or, you know, these are all rituals that people do before games, and they've found that people who create rituals perform better. Now it's not, sometimes it can be the ritual, like priming by itself will definitely help you work out better, but it's also the mindset that a ritual creates, which is why I think humans, we tend to naturally create rituals

for ourselves before anything important. So you talk to a sales person, who that's what they've been doing for years, and they're really good at sales, and you ask them, what do you do before every sales call? And I guarantee you, they will have some kind of a ritual. However small, there's something that they always do before they get on a sales call. Sales and marketing knew this, right?

And this is where pre-workouts got their, how they exploded. Yes, they attached it to a ritual. Yes, they attached it to a ritual. And I, what is so brilliant? And I said this to so many people like, you think that because you're taking all these things, you're seeing more results in your body because of those things. But really what it is is because you've never been so consistent.

And because you have this ritual and you're spending money on it, you've been more consistent. You're what's really rewarding you is your consistency. It's the consistency that's making the change in your body. It's not your fucking newest fat burner muscle builder, amino acid supplement that someone closed you on. That's not what's doing it. I guarantee it. In fact, if you, those that want to take

the fucking Pepsi challenge can measure this by tracking every single day that you consistently get your lifts in with and without a, you know, pre workout, amino acid, creatine, and whatever else fucking thing your no explode, everything else that you're taking, you get rid of that and compare them heads up. I guarantee if you're true to it and you do as many days as you did with the rest of the difference.

You won't notice a difference. But I will say this, I recommend a pre-sleep ritual as well. And it makes a big difference, like, and I'll, like, I agree. Like what I do before bed, one hour before bed, electronics are off, lights are dim, or we have candlelight, we drink chamomile tea, and we have nice calming, relaxing type conversation.

And when I do that, every single time I do that, I notice an improvement in my sleep. And so pre- anything ritual, it does set the stage for what you're about to do. And so I suggest creating rituals for things, pre- anything that's important to you. Next question is from Jazz Massa. How do you feel about female only exercise areas?

What do you think that says about our society? I think that says about our society? I think that says more about the fact that women want to, or a decent percentage of, probably a lot less now than used to be, but a decent percentage of women still want to feel uncomfortable working out. They still want, I mean, it's, okay, so being completely transparent,

this is something that we struggle with currently right now. So we have hired a marketing team for MindPump as of three months ago and We've been building out all of our sales funnels and sales and marketing and leads and email sequences and yadda All that's been happening behind the scenes at MindPump and one of the biggest struggles that we have is much of our message is against or anti things like this, like, like, separating, right, separating men from women

because the message is pretty much the same to both male and female, you know? And so, but the truth of the matter and the thing that we keep getting pushed back from our CMO is that, listen, not everybody is ready for that yet and you gotta at least get them in to listen to you guys first, and then you can change their thought process. It sucks.

It's a huge challenge for us. It sucks because if you create, let's say you create a fitness program that you wanna sell, you will sell more for sure if you take that same program and wrap it in the packaging. Wrap it with female type marketing, with women in the videos, and all that stuff, and say, work out for women women and then take that same workout

Do the same thing but for men and say work out for men versus just selling one and saying this is for everybody Even if the work and the workouts are the same. There's nothing different the only difference is the wrapping But it fucking works and it sucks mainly because I mean We are We've been in fitness for a long time. We're purists when it comes to delivering. When we talk about fitness, when we talk about exercise, when we talk about corrective exercises, we talk about fat loss, muscle building, all that stuff, we are purist because

this is what we've been doing for a long time. And it's un, it's just, it's not true. It's inaccurate to say, this is a workout for women and it's different than it's not true. It's inaccurate to say this is a workout for women and it's different than a workout for men because first of all, there's not true. It's the same for men and women and really the only thing that really, if you wanna take any new accounts, the individual

has nothing to do with whether you have a penis or vagina. It's all about the individual, what are your own balances, what's your exercise history and all that stuff. So it's difficult, but yeah, I mean, women feel uncomfortable. Many women feel uncomfortable working out around men in gyms and I kind of don't blame them. Yeah, I really don't.

You can't blame the gym for doing that because they're just going with the man. You're right, they're going with the members of proper voice. Right. And they're in the business of keeping people coming to their gym and they need the membership fee. So I don't fault them for that. I don't fault uh, these companies that are doing this because as we're demanding it, as as consumers,

if people stop by, if people, if messages like ours continue to spread, hopefully one day, including ourselves, we'll never have to go this route. Hopefully five years, 10 years from now, that, you know, women will think this is patronizing, right? They'll think that I don't want, oh, they're going to color it pink-wide just because they're advertising me, and they'll turn them up. But the truth of the matter is, your unique and most people do want that. I don't know how many times I've got someone ask me, well, do you guys have a program for women? You know, do you have a program for women?

And it's like, I think the part of it's conditioning too, right? They've been conditioned by marketers for so long that they have to find the one. Yeah, they have to find the one that's for women and for a lot of undoing. And I think that we're always trying to kind of carve the righteous path, you know, as far as like what we present in fitness,

but it is true, you have to be able to be able to meet people where they, you know, like right here, here's what you kind of expect, but there's gonna be a twist to it. And that's kind of our new direction is more like, this may look familiar from, you know, what you've seen, but there's a lot more depth to it, once you get in. think of it this way.

We've all been in this situation. I remember sitting down with people that would be considered a warm lead for me. They come in to see an appointment with me. They don't really know who I am. They just know that I'm a trainer. My desired outcome of the conversation is that they buy personal training with me and they become a client. And a lot of times, in fact, more often than not,

they sit down and a good part of the sales process for me is asking a lot of questions. And I'm asking all about them and their history where they know about nutrition and weight training. And more often than not, they are spitting out tons of fallacies. And I can't just come out and say oh You're wrong you're wrong about that you're wrong right because if I if I start doing that a wall goes up

And then they're not receptive to hear anything from me And so it's the the marketing that you see with people that do stuff like this and what we potentially kind of have to do to get people into My pump is the same thing It's not that we're changing our message or we're trying to manipulate the market. It's like, if I want those people's attention, I got to kind of give them what they want to hear at first. Then when I get them in, then over time.

So sometimes people will be telling me things, I know it's wrong. I'm for sure it's wrong and I can help these people out. What I do is I get excited because it's like, wow, these people have a lot that I can help them with and I can teach them, but I'm also aware enough to know that if I challenge everything they say right now or what because it's wrong,

that I might actually offend them and I'll never get them to buy anything from me and that was a wasted conversation and I never helped that person. Now the other thing to consider too is because the market is changing so fast now, like it's changing very quickly in a very short period of time, largely because information now is just so accessible and it just gets out there.

We have the internet now. In the sense that I think marketing has been one way for so long that now it's becoming marketable just to market differently because now you separate yourself a little bit. You know what I'm saying? Like, 10 years ago, if I came out and I said, here's a program that, you know, programs for women or bullshit, women need to train, like, man, 10 years ago I would've sold nothing.

Today, because we've been marketed so long like that and because information is getting out a little more, it might even be more marketable. I think that's part of the reason why CrossFit did so well. They were doing shit and they were like, men and women working out, same exercises, everything's the same, women are gonna deadlift, women are gonna squat, women are gonna whatever.

And it kind of became a plus, you know what I'm saying? Whereas the old message was, you know, women have to work out this way and men have to work out that way. You know, that being said, I can see why a woman would be uncomfortable going into a gym. I mean, when you walk into a gym, especially if you go into a, first off, I feel uncomfortable. When I go into a yoga class, that is all women. And that's just because I'm the only guy in there.

Now, that doesn't even throw into the mix that I don't feel threatened by any of these women because I'm bigger than all of them. So if I mixed it up and I said, and if I put myself in the mind of a woman and I'm going into a freeway area, I'm the only girl in there. I'm working out, so I'm already sweating, I'm already uncomfortable, I'm not, you know, looking my best, whatever. And dudes are kind of looking at me

and they're all bigger than me. I could see why it's kind of uncomfortable. That being said, I'll tell you what, I've been doing this for a long time. If you're a woman and you're listening and you're in your nervous or whatever about going in the freeway area, nothing is more empowering than going into the freeway area,

working out and realizing nobody gives a shit. Because the reality is, women in the freeway area, more often than not, get lots of respect from the guys in there. And if you go regularly, and I've seen this happen more than 10 times, where there's a woman that works out regularly in the freeway area, and then we'll get a new member that's a guy that acts douchey. The other guys in the freeway regulate.

The other guys in the freeway regulate hard. They become kind of protective of her in there. But it's super empowering. Go in there and just fucking do your thing, man, and you'll feel great afterwards. Next question is from Prime and Glory. Besides moving better sleep and good nutrition, what are other big rocks to improve wellness of children? Oh, for sure.

Provide, make sure your kids feel stable. Make sure your kids feel stable and they feel love. That is so important for the wellness of children to know that to feel that their parents will be there no matter what that when they that they'll have a bed that they'll have food that if something happens that they can go to mom and dad or you know dad or just mom or whatever and to know that they are they can be themselves and they can be loved. That is so communication too you know like being able to come in and and describe you know in full detail

What happened you know in their day and you get a lot of information, you know if you're if you're there and they feel Comfortable enough to come approach you with with things and you know you can be it's just like really being present and involved You know with with the day-to-day stuff that they're going to I was just kind just going to say that. I think, and you guys are, I think, great examples of great father, so all three of you. But I don't, so maybe you guys don't connect to this one. But being an outsider looking in who doesn't have kids and sees a lot of these younger parents and young kids growing up, the biggest thing that I see,

that I go like, fuck, man, I wonder if this kid's going to be like when he gets older, is this disconnect with the racing process. and what I mean by that is, we've never been in a place before where we have these babysitting tools, where we could stick some fucking Bose headphones on our kid and plug them into his iPad and stick them in a corner for fucking four hours and he'd be completely entertained, which for a young parent who's working full time and struggling to get by and is also raising a family. Boy, I bet that's a fucking nice relief.

And I bet as a parent, it can be really easily to get sucked into that of just doing that all the time. And you don't understand the long-term effects that you can be. It's a tool, right? Sometimes people, that's the thing. It comes in handy sometimes, but yeah. You always have to think in terms of like,

all these things are influencers, you know, like certain people, certain friends, you know, that they're hanging out with, all these things are influencers. And so you wanna really make sure that you're like, kind of the biggest piece of that pie, as far as being the influencer and the direction of where they're going.

Who was it that we were talking to? I don't know if it was one of your guys' friends. I think we were all together and they were talking about how I think maybe it was Jason Phillips who talked about the time that his kids get on it. There's like certain channels or certain things that he lets them watch because they're educational. So at least he knows that if they're sitting in front

of this for two hours, they're watching something that he knows they're growing and they're learning from. I think that's like a big rock and important because real, I mean, you could really easily let your kid just get go sucked down the fucking, you know, call a duty path and that's always playing as freaking mucking out for hours on that. I saw that with my little brother, man. So there's a big age gap between my brother who's now 21. I'm 36. So we've 15 years apart from each other. So I was already grown up and out of the house

when he was still a child growing up and he was like just plugged in to Xbox, like 24. Now I played a lot of video games to myself. So I can relate, like liking to do that, wanna do it. But I remember when he got into high school and stuff that my mom let him get away with like being on the computer through the night. like he'd get up like fucking exhausted for screws because he was playing video games on the internet for throughout the night.

And I now see him now where he's at currently in his life and he's getting his stuff together and he's learning, you know, kind of learning and doing his thing, but I think he's a little behind on his responsibilities and shit he needs to do. And I think that a lot of that is attributed to my mom being a single parent, working, finishing her degree at the same time, plus raising her fifth child. You know, he just got kind of, you know, do your thing there. And, you know, again, that's anecdotal to my family, it's my brother, who knows, there's

probably brilliant kids that did that too. You know, I think that happens, but I think more often than not, the kids will be on these devices a lot, not because their parents are super busy working and at home, although that does happen. And they're dicting. It's because the parents are also doing the same thing.

That's why, so the dad's on the computer, mom's on the iPhone. And everybody's doing it together in the house, all doing the wrong thing. This is what I mean by why I think it's a big rock and why I think you all got to look out for it because it's really tough when you're the busy parent doing all these things.

And then in addition to that, you're sucked in yourself because you're working and there's a good excuse for you to be on your phone checking you have to set you have to set boundaries like with my kids I don't let them they're not allowed to go on the internet unless they're using it for school but they're not allowed to go on watch YouTube or my son well if I let him he will play video games from I know joke from 6 a.m. Till bedtime. Oh, I that easy I used to do it. Not a problem. Yeah, so I I limit his video game consumption to the weekends and when he does do it on the weekends And he's smart so what he does is he fucking wakes up early Because he knows when I wake up then I start to give him a time limit

So this fucker wakes up at 5 a.m. And when I get up and I'll sleep in on the weekend Which for me is like 7 30. He's already been on for two hours. I like though, there's something about that I like because it trains him that there's something he really wants to do bad, that he's got to kind of find a way around it. I kind of like that. Oh, it's hilarious.

Because most kids would sleep until nine or 10, and then when they roll out of bed, then they're fucking sucked into their game and then they never leave the couch. This kid's smart enough to get up in the morning and say, okay, before dad puts a time limit on me, I'm gonna get as much gaming as I can. I'm willing to get up on a Saturday at 5 a.m. It shows a little bit of discipline.

You think these kids get up that early for school? No. It's on the weekend when they know. But anyway, but yeah, I'll limit it to just weekends, and I'll try and limit the hours or whatever, but I'm not super hard about the time limit So sometimes it's more than others especially if I'm busy or if I get caught on my own device and you know Whatever it's because they are super-addicting But I it's like you know what it reminds me of

It's it's really no different than when we all of a sudden had this processed food Revolution where all of a sudden we were no longer worried about getting enough food, we had abundance of food, so it was a new problem, but you had a generation that had grown up without food, so they had the same mentality, right? I grew up without a lot of food, I grew up having to clean my play,

I grew up having to force feed kids, because you don't know when you're gonna get the next meal. Now it's the 70s, 80s, and 90s. We've got all this food. So we had this obesity epidemic, which is, I think that's part of the reason why we had it. There was no policing with the kids because we didn't really understand that we needed to. Well, it's also very interesting. And I think that's happening with tech. Like, you know, I didn't get policed on tech

because I didn't have it, you know what I'm saying? So now that it's there, I don't, we're not realizing like what it's causing. Well, it reminds me a lot of like, when cable TV came through, right? So we had TV, we watched a lot of TV when we were young. And see, I kind of didn't, you know, my parents made me get outside. Now part of that was because we couldn't afford cable.

Like we had like the basic five channels or whatever it was and then we didn't pay, we, we, often on like, we'd have little spurts of cable for like three months and then we weren't paying for it anymore. We had a black box. And so we didn't have anything cool like that. And so I was really limited to how much TV I could watch in my parents were always kicking me outside, stopped watching TV all day long. And so I had to play and interact. I attribute a lot of that to my social skills.

I think that because I was forced to do that, be creative, play with others, do things like that. I think it has a lot to do with who I am today, and sure I could be in the same person, or I could be in the same spot as I am today, but maybe it'd be a total different person with my social skills, had my parents just allowed me to plug into a cable network

and watch eight hours of TV every day. Yeah, I was in love. I found ways like your kid where I would go to my best friend's house super early or like I would always make an excuse to stay the night with one of my friends that had an Nintendo and we would play the entire day and just eat bagel bites. Oh man, that's so fun. That's like all we did back in Oh man, that sounds so fun. Right?

That's like all we did back in the day. That sounds so fun. Next question is from Carter's Consumptions. Why does one's body begin to feel worse when they started detox or treatment protocol before feeling better? That's a term for this. This is not a bullshit thing.

So I don't know if you guys ever, have you guys ever done like a long detox where you where you like okay? I'm gonna you know avoid all carbohydrates for a while or I'm gonna You know fast for prolonged pretty time have you ever noticed that well it makes you start to feel shitty Yeah, and it makes sense to me the same process that you go through like when you're trying to wing off drugs or something Like you've oversaturated your your receptors with all this shit that it got used to getting in and then Allison, you deprive it and they're going, where is all this sugar? Where's all this stuff that you were supposed

to be giving me? Yeah, that's part of it, but there's also, so there's something called a Herkzheimer reaction, it was named after the doctor that found this out or whatever, it happens after antibiotic treatment sometimes. So let's say you have Lyme disease or you have some other horrible infection and you treat it with really powerful antibiotics. The die-off of those microorganisms causes you to feel shitty. So now you've got this massive die-off of all these microorganisms. It's like it it's like a toxic to your body and you feel

Terrible and this so this is a real thing that they've identified in you know like Lyme disease is one of them is a big one and there are other I think Tricholnellolosis. I hope I'm saying that right is another but I've noticed this with Fasting I noticed this when I did the, when I took the parasite cleanse supplements and I did my fast, I felt horrible for the first five days and then afterwards I started feeling better and a lot of people say that that was a herxime or effect.

So it's definitely something that people will experience but what you're saying Adam's completely true, you may not get a diopha effect, which is, I think that diopha effect is less likely, unless you do have something that is, like Candida or something like that. I think what's more often is you're getting withdrawal. You're just, you're feeling,

that's what I think. You're feeling withdrawal from not having sugar or processed foods or caffeine. It can be a lot of things that are in our foods or in our drinks that we're so addicted to, we don't even realize it. Going off caffeine is terrible. It is.

It's a terrible one. It's a monster. Yeah, what do you guys notice when you do, do you get the headaches and all that? Yeah, headaches and just like fogginess and the way that I think and yeah, it's just uncomfortable and I fucking hate it. And so I'm always like going back and forth with it.

No, when it's at that point where you're like, oh my God, okay, like I'm so dependent on this, I have to scale down and I have to just be adamant about like, look, I just have to go through this, drink more water and like kind of go through the process of this because then now I'm gonna, you know, get the benefits all over again. Yeah, so if you are having a herxime reaction,

there are a few things that functional medicine doctors and wellness experts will recommend. One is to increase the fiber in your diet because fiber binds to things and it helps get out of your body. Some people will supplement with something like psyllium husk, which is a non-soluble fiber. The other thing is to use activated charcoal. Activated charcoal

is one of the oldest remedies for toxic, you know, you know, poison or overload. Is that the same? Because I remember telling a story on the podcast a long time ago where like my brother and his friend fed me a bunch of cough syrup and like I drank like two bottles of cough syrup. Then they gave me all kinds of charcoal to sort of help. Yeah, so charcoal is the same thing. It binds to certain molecules, making them too large to absorb

and then you poop it out or whatever. So charcoal is the other one, lots of water. And then some functional medicine doctors recommend sauna. Apparently sweating in a sauna and heat is good to eliminate some heavy metal loads. I think it was a doctor who said it was a doctor bush that said that dog or was it the other guy. I remember one of those guys told me that the sauna helps with that type of thing. I also think that the whole detox thing and most of this stuff has been marketed to us

to like sell us a package of something goes with it. Like, oh, here's your drink every day. Here's the thing, like, I detox. I detox, okay, or I clean my system out the same way that I would if I was addicted to drugs, right? And I've been down this road before where I try and eliminate something. Same way I do caffeine, same way I do cannabis,

same thing I do, anything that diacokes, anything that I feel that my body is not benefiting my body, I'm doing too much of, and I don't go cold turkey and buy some fucking detoxing and then like, tough it out for three days, and then hopefully, all I do is I assess my overall thing, right? So whatever it is that I'm trying to clean out. And maybe if it's your diet, you've got a lot of things in there, process foods, you

got sugars, you got caffeine, you've got energy drinks, maybe you're drinking, maybe you've got a bunch of stuff in there. I don't think it's necessary to cut it all out right at one time and then get on some detoxing. Like what I would do is like set a goal for yourself. Okay, I drink a fucking energy drink every single day. I take this every single day. I do this for my body. I know it's not good for every single day. So how about cutting it down to three times in a week? And then how about cutting it down to two times?

And then how about cutting it down to one time? You're gonna get the same benefits. It just might take you a little bit longer. That's so much, so much better. And it's so much better. Right. And it doesn't turn into this like crazy hard thing to go through where you're like depriving so hard. Now some people mentally, they do better with it.

They have to go one or the other, I know. You know what I mean? But like caffeine is a good example of that. If you go cold turkey, you're gonna fucking hate life for good, a good week, sometimes longer. Or when I recommend to do people's, do what you just said Adam, I recommend people slowly wean themselves off to. I actually don't find it difficult at all, but when I do people do what you just said Adam, I recommend people slowly wean themselves off to.

I actually don't find it difficult at all, but when I do it this way, this is kind of how I weave it in out. You guys, we talk a lot lately about my Coke Zero deal. And it's like, you know, when I know when it's, when it's getting at a control, when I'm buying it at home and I'm drinking it on a regular basis,

I never let that go too long while I'm doing that and then my way of detoxing from it is I go from having one every day to having them three times in a week and then maybe one time on Friday with like a dinner that I have to eventually not having it at all. And it's really not that hard.

It's really easy for me to go from that and I see how great I feel when I'm off it. And I do that with many things that I allow in my life that I know is not serving my body ideally. It might be serving something else, right? Making me disconnect it or what are with that. And I enjoy enjoying it for the moment. And I think that's really how you have this balance.

And it doesn't have to be this one way or that. Because then I feel like things like these detox things create the on and off wagon with whatever it is you're trying to detox Yeah, they're they're trying to sell you shit Yeah, right and I like yeah, I like to just keep it on like focusing on what's gonna benefit my health and like you know Get me you know a new fresh Star as far as like my cells are concerned and that's why I was interested in like we talked a little bit about the 48 to 72 Our fast. Oh, yeah, dudeively as a group, and I think

that would be a really cool thing. I think we should do that at the beginning of the year. I think we should, I'm gonna do it for sure. I'm gonna try for a 72 hour fast. And not for the detox necessarily properties of it, but fasting that long, I think once you go like 24, 48 hours or so, you really ramp up cell atophagy. This is where cells, as they get older,

they naturally kill themselves, where you amplify the fuck out of that process while you're fasting for a prolonged period. And then what you do is you activate a shit ton of stem cells. When you refeed yourself, your body replaces all of those old cells with new younger cells, and the effects are pretty incredible to the point where there are facilities in other countries that do prolong fast to treat autoimmune issues. So if you go in there with an autoimmune issue, they'll put you on like a week or two

week long fast, and basically will replenish or regenerate most of your immune system. So now your new immune system doesn't have these old patterns where it's attacking your body. And you know, I'm not recommending this, do your own research, but this is an old time-tested way of treating some of these disorders. I know in Chinese medicine, so you check this out, right? I get in a reboot.

So check this out. I was at, obviously our Christmas party, I saw my uncle there, my uncle does Chinese medicine, he's been doing it for decades. Very intelligent man, and we were talking about fasting. And he says, you know, Sally goes, it's funny because the classic Chinese treatment, Chinese medicine treatment for cancer,

which they've been doing for thousands of years is a long fast. He goes, if you had cancer, you know, 500 years ago, or whatever, they would put you on a prolonged fast, and he goes, what's funny about that is, for a long time, people would make fun of Chinese medicine for recommending that, and especially for that, they would say things like,

don't do that, you need to feed your body, you're fighting cancer, you need to give yourself nutrients, especially if you're going through chemo, this, that, and the other. There's now confirmed studies showing that fasting with cancer, weekends, and kills cancer is very anti-cancer. And if you get chemotherapy while fasting, the chemotherapy is far more effective, it kills more cancer and it's protective of the healthy cells. So not only does fasting increase the effectiveness of chemo to kill cancer, it also makes it safer on the rest of your body, fucking trip on that shit.

And they've been saying that shit for thousands of years. But yeah, so I'm excited. I really want to try a 72 hour fast. Totally in. And maybe some of our listeners were joining in on that. Well, let's do it this month. This comes out January 2nd. So let's do this.

Is that when this episode is dropping? Yeah, this goes January 2nd. So that's when this episode's, because I'm going to start my fast the day after New Year's either Eve or day. So I'm going to start. So that would be first. That would be today. Yeah, that would be today So I'm gonna start. So that would be today. Yeah, that would be today when this episode drops.

Yeah, that would be today. I don't know if we have to do it then. I feel like that's a little early. Oh, wait a minute. We gotta go to the night. Yeah, I don't wanna be fucking on a day three of night. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. We're trying to stand up and speak to people.

When we get back from the night. By the way, do we tell the audience that yet? If we do, we do. We did, so Adam and I will be speaking at the L.A. This weekend coming up, maybe this weekend coming up, right? That's right. And we're going to be speaking two days on intuitive eating and measuring questions.
