The following podcast is a dear media production. This episode is brought to you by Symbiotica. This episode is brought to you by our favorite plant-based tonic. Feel free from botanic tonics. We love this stuff. It's a kava-based drink. Basically, energy, euphoria, and a bottle. As you guys may know, I have quit drinking recently,

and this stuff is what I've replaced alcohol with. So before I was pregnant, I took a walk with my friend, and I took half, and it was perfect. We had the most amazing conversation and how I like to recommend this after talking to the founder is try a sip and see how you feel. You don't want to go crazy with this. A little bit goes a long way and you definitely will feel euphoric. So just a sip works. It comes in these little tinctures. I like the taste. If you don't, you can put a little water in it, mix it up. But a lot of people are loving this.

Yeah. And like I said, if you're thinking about cutting alcohol and taking a break, but you still want that euphoric feeling, this stuff is great. And we have, I think, our most generous offer to date on the show. The founder, J.W. Ross, came on and offered a very generous offer. 40% off subscriptions and one-time purchases.

Welcome to the skinny confidential, him and her. Okay, well, so first and foremost, we got to stop putting the toxins in. Okay, so before we start talking about like aggressive, you know, detoxification and opening up all that kind of stuff, we got to say, what is, what are we doing in our life that's causing us to be exposed to toxins? Is it, you know, are we using products that are filled with weird stuff in it that you cannot pronounce? Let's just start there. Back again, back again with Shervin. That first episode we did, if you guys haven't heard it, with Shervin, was a record-breaking podcast. We usually don't have people back on the show this quick, but he registered with so many of you his message.

So many of you liked it so much. So we said, okay, let's do it again. Let's get him back in the studio. Let's really get granular. And this one doesn't fail to deliver. He is the founder of Symbiotica, which is a major vitamin company. And these vitamins are legit. Okay.

We talk about it in this episode. episode. What I like about him is he's a real practitioner, but he also is someone who lives, eats, breath, and sleeps wellness. I even had one of my friends who's a body worker. He's so into wellness. Tell me that Cherveen is like his idol because he knows so much. If you go to his Instagram, he talks about everything from radiation to EMF exposure to vitamins, to supplements, to how to mix vitamins. He even tells you like, it's super interesting. If you, If you're taking vitamin D3, you should make sure you're taking a vitamin K2. He gets super granular.

And I think the audience appreciates that. In this episode, we go all over the place so much so that this is one of those episodes that I took notes. I love to take notes with a lot of our guests. And then I'll look at it all and dissect and really see what works for me. And from his first podcast, I've implemented a lot of his tips and noticed a big difference. Speaking of his first podcast, if you haven't checked that one out, like I said it was a record-breaking podcast, a ton of listens,

ton of people really found the message to be inspiring, educational, all the things. That was episode number 428, and we did it in the very beginning of this year on January 20th. It was titled Wellness Practices that will enhance your life, essential supplements, nutritional gaps. So check that one up for sure. But also listen to this one because this one is incredible. With that, Cherveen, our friend, welcome back to the Skinny Confidential, him and Her show. This is the Skinny Confidential, him and her.

Sharevin back on the show. I think we set records on the last one. That one took off. That one took off, man. You know, let's just kick this off in a real reasonable way. Okay. Let's see. Let's take Taylor.

In LA. Taylor, reasonable in L.A. Let's take Taylor and use Taylor as our guinea pig today. Taylor are producers here. Taylor has never in his life had a vitamin, ever. So which vitamin would you like start with for Taylor? Never. Taylor, do you take any supplements at all?

No. Why is your mic not on? Don't talk to me on the show until your mic's on. Yeah, I would say if he's never actually taking, I mean, he's obviously gotten vitamins and nutrients from his food, right? Maybe not. Does Panda Express count? No, Panda Express is not count. It's actually anti-nutrient.

I would say he should take our new green alchemy, best ever complex protein formula that hasn't actually released. yet. I think this is going to air on the 31st. If I'm not mistaken, this actually launches on the 31st. And it's the most complete green formula ever created in the history of this known universe. You're saying you've got to win the Nobel Prize. This was four years in the making. And this is a formula that I've been creating for multiple world number one athletes. Novak Djokovic is one of them. And I was never able to actually bring it to symbiotica because it's impossible to scale. based on a cost basis. It just, it doesn't, there's no business to be made there

when you go with this vertical or this complex with the sourcing that we did on this. There's no profit. So it's not something we can add to the business. So I would just make it for my friends, family, and some of these athletes. But because symbiotic has grown so fast, we're now in a position where we can, we can take a product like this and basically break even on.

And if you really understand what goes on in terms of developing and creating something like this, it shows you that there are people out there that are doing things the right way. And I'm just so hyped to be able to bring this nutrition to the world. There's a lot of stuff on the market. I've been in my private telegram rooms. I've been starting to talk about like what are people using out there. And a lot of the stuff out there is, you know, it's not what it seems to be. Your Instagram, I like stock the whole thing.

It seems to hit some points with people. People either love it or it's controversial, which salacious, whatever you want to call it. What are some things that you've talked about on your Instagram that hit a nerve? I think almost everything. I mean, I'm a, you know, I'm a mirror for a lot of people. I'm a mirror for men. I'm a mirror for women in many ways. And I don't hold back.

I'm actually holding back on like 99% of the topics I'd like to talk about. just because I don't need to do what other people are doing out there in terms of they're fighting the good fight. And we don't need to get into those details. But my path is to really help people with their lifestyle choices and taking, getting their own sovereignty. And I think we talked about that on the first interview is it's all about freedom. And so I don't know. I could be rattling people because they take strong positions on certain things. And it calls out kind of like their perspective or their ego.

and they're like, holy shit, you know, F this guy. Or I love this guy. Give me an example of something granular. You know, I always say how you do anything is how you do everything. So, you know, lifestyle choices, the way that maybe they raise their children, maybe the way that they are, you know, they approach their relationships with themselves and with their partners, maybe their perspective on the food that they're eating and the way they go about their daily lifestyles, maybe what they expose themselves to in terms of, you know, media and new.

and controversy and all that gossip bullshit, which I think is a disaster to the soul. I talk about a lot of ancient perspectives and bring it into a 21st century way of doing things. And I always say this is what's working for me. It's working for the people, my loved ones, my tribe, just take it as a perspective. But some people get offended. I actually did a post. I didn't even write it, but I think it was worldwide women's day the other day or whatever. which I think should be every day, you know.

And a little smoothie over there. Yeah, yeah. And I did this, posted this post on just the architecture of the woman and how it's beauty personified to have to be like ravishly like powerful yet at the same time submissive yet at the same time balance, all these different like being able to like play into all these realms. and 95% of women had a really incredible response, but there was that 5% that said, this is the definition of misogyny and stuff like that. And I look at it because I want to hear other people's perspectives. And we don't know what people have gone through.

We can only speak from our own lens. And I try to meet people where they're at. You know, two, three years ago, four years ago, five years ago, I might have been a little bit more fierce in certain ways. I actually was. now I'm like more pragmatic and I just I want to hear what you know people's perspectives are what are some things that you've done to become more pragmatic do you practice a certain philosophy like what are the things maturation I mean I just you go through it when you roll through

the punches and you roll through like different dynamics of life you start to realize that you know everyone's inherently good and everyone inherently wants to live the best life ever and everyone wants to have fun and have beautiful experiences and be heard and seen. And instead of like having to put someone and attack somebody, I feel at this point in my life where it's more just, you know, hey, you have someone over here that has a perspective. This is what we're offering. See if it fits. You know, and that's the whole thing is when you try to indoctrinate information,

which is what our school systems are doing, which is what the government's doing in certain ways, which is what our media is doing, the body's natural defense system is going to want to resist. Like in sales, they teach you like sales 101. You got to take it away first. If you're forcing the car down someone's throat, they're not going to want to buy it, even though they came there to buy it. But if you're like, this might not be for you. It's like that energy and that's human psychology 101. And I really want to, I've been experiencing that firsthand through years of trials and tribulations of trying to educate people. Because I was that kid, I don't know if we talked about it, that was around his 12-year-old friend's mother in the kitchen

saying, if you keep feeding him this pasteurized hormone-filled milk, you're not going to be able to communicate with him properly. I can see it happening. I was 12 having those conversations with my friends' parents in the kitchen. And I'm like, he's, his moods all over the places. You can't control his temper. His hormones are everywhere. But you keep feeding him, you know, refined sugars and pasteurized milk and all these compounds. He never had a chance, you know. So I want to get granular with you there for a minute because obviously, so people should definitely go back and listen to the first episode we did with you. We just did it recently. It crushed it. People love that episode. But I get shared that to me every day. Every time I go on

social media, it's like, it's a phenomenal episode. And I like, you were great on that show. think people love the message that you came on and shared the first time. But this one, I want to get a little bit more granular because I've been following your stuff and obviously now a huge consumer of all of your products. I think I'm your biggest customer at this point. Not kidding. But when you look... Really, just side note, he's a collector by nature and he's now his thing is to collect vitamins. So every single week, we have a new package from symbiotica. Listen, I had to bring a separate fucking suitcase to carry all the shit. He's putting it in his coffee. He's he's putting it under his tongue.

He's squirting it in my mouth when I'm asleep. He's roofing me with it. She has food aversion, so I wait for her to fall asleep in the mouth. Because his baby is in my stomach. He's like syringing it to me when I'm asleep. I mean, he is being like so annoying with this. But that's epic too. It's epic.

And he's turning the labels out. He has a whole like little cupboard. I was like, oh shit, you forgot your magnesium. Wait. Okay, go ahead with what you were saying. But I want to get granular because I follow your stuff now. And I think you talk about some health issues that I think are just not as mainstream as people would like them or as I would like them to be. And when you think, like I saw one post you did on parasites, right?

And I saw one post you did on zinc. And I wonder if you, what are some topics, some granular health issues that people go through that it wouldn't be the first thing they'd look to, but do you think is having a massive effect on the human condition? Recently we had the founders of Obey Fitness on the podcast, Mark and Ashley, and they were so interesting. And what I think is so cool is they're building a workout routine online, but with community. So if you feel like you don't want to go to the gym because you don't want to run into people or you don't want to dress up, you don't want to put your leggings on, maybe you want to work out in your fucking pajamas. You can do that with Obey straight from your home. They have strength training Pilates, sculpt yoga, and hit, and no equipment is necessary, which

is super efficient. I, the other day, put on a Pilates class and I listened to a podcast at the same time while I did it. It was very much habit stacking. It worked. You can work out from home or on the go. So if you're traveling, it just can be seamlessly integrated into your schedule. Super easy. If you want more structure, okay, they also have like a 30-day progressive program. There's like this fan favorite called BodyComp that people who are more structured really, really enjoy. And they also have a lot of pre and postnatal classes. So your exercises are safe but fun and they're burning. Okay. This Pilates class was fun. It got the job done. I was sore the next day. My ass was sore. They have daily live classes and 8,000 on demand options. I am telling you, I think that this community is going to love the Obay fitness community.

Wherever you are in your fitness journey, you can jump right in with two free months of obey. That is generous. You get two free months of working out. Everyone should do this. Just use code Skinny 2 at Obey Fitness. That's O-B-E-F-I-T-N-E-S-S.com to get started. Yeah, you know, we brushed upon it briefly in Austin, but before we can get into nutrition, we got to talk about detoxification. As simple as that, especially in today's 21st century industrialized world. I mean, look behind us.

This is a perfect indicator of where we're at today in terms of an artificial world. we're in the belly of the beast of Los Angeles right now. I mean, I just had to drive through so much chaos to get here. I can hear the stress in your voice when we talked. I know. I'm just trying to like ground in. So if you're listening right now, I literally just got in here like three minutes ago. Do I got to bring a patch of grass up that you could stand in there?

A lot can happen in three minutes. Asker producer. I totally agree with that. I'm staring at downtown L.A., which is probably about 20 miles away, maybe less, 12 miles away as the crow flies. And, you know, that's just a, you know, a depiction of where we're at in terms of this artificial world with chemicals and toxins and water toxicity and non-native electromagnetic frequencies. We're getting bombarded with so many different things. So before you, we even want to start thinking about nutrition, we've got to think about

detoxification. And at the same time, there are certain ways of eating foods, like, for example, our new green alchemy, our green complex protein, that helps keep. calate toxins out of the body. Because when you can get the right nutrition in the body, something's got to give. And that's getting the burden of the toxic, you know, soup that's inside of us. There's a reason why people are feeling chronic fatigue. There's a reason why people are emotionally distressed. And my whole thing is that if you start at an early age, you know, escaping and getting out of that reality by taking a drug, by, you know,

eating foods that are not good for you, they give you short-term pleasure. you're just railroading yourself into a life of disease sickness. And fundamentally, you're not going to be able to reach your highest point. And as a human in this life, there's a point where we get to an apex. And my whole thing is like, I need everyone hitting that apex. You know, we need everyone being in their embodiment and in what we call their Dharma, which is like their chosen like soul path. Can you imagine if everybody in this world was,

living their soul's purpose. Like how many people in this world right now are actually embodying that in their life that are actually there. Okay, but here's where people I think get overwhelmed. Sure. What are the tangible steps that they can take to detox? Like what is give us, you're talking to a kindergartener here. Yeah.

And I'm not saying the audience is a kindergartner. Use me. Okay. Well, so first and foremost, we got to stop putting the toxins in. Okay. So before we start talking about like aggressive, you know, detoxification and opening up all that kind of stuff. We got to say, what are we doing in our life that's causing us to be exposed to toxins?

Is it, you know, are we using products that are filled with weird stuff in it that you cannot pronounce? Let's just start there. Let me give an example. I was at a function the other day, actually yesterday. And I have not been up to a function like this in a long time where I was bombarded by colognes, perfumes, antipers, I mean, I can hear it in my voice right now. I'm still kind of like getting over it because I'm so sensitive to all of those stuff. I'm not exposed to that in my everyday life.

And that right there is a indicator of where we are as a society when you have, I would say in the last 10 years, trillions of dollars, hundreds of billions of dollars have gone into the industry of masking something, masking a smell. Why is your body smelling? putrid. What is B.O. B.O. is because you have runaway candida in your body. And so we're going to just add chemicals on top of that and create more putridity, colognes, perfumes, all these crazy, like, designer stuff. That's all insanity that people are putting that on their skin. So when you talk about detoxification, what's the easiest thing to do? Number one, stop adding poisons to an already

burdened body, number one. Don't mean to brag. Just side note, Michael was taking a bath the other day with my daughter and he reaches for the hotel bubble bath. And in slow-mo. I smacked it out of his hand. It wasn't slow-mo. It was very fast. And I gave him the all-natural, like, super clean shower gel. And some, like, that's what I mean. You have

gotten better. So, listen, I wear perfume sometimes, so I'm not saying I'm these things matter. No, and I was, you know, I think all of us at this table, actually in this entire office are byproducts of a generation that came out of the, the generation of mass marketing, mass production. Windex. Like a lot of, you know, our, our parents'

parents didn't have this kind of mass marketing mass production. And so there's a lot of bad learned behaviors that have come. And I'm not putting blame. I'm just saying it is what it is. Right. You saw like mass production of all these things. What's the most cost effective, cheapest way that we can highly produce. Even like cleaning the house too. Like don't you think thieves is the move for the house? Is that what you would do? I mean, I the what you're what you're using in the box we call the home is one of the most important things. Yeah. I mean all of those things build up and they create residue and they react to organic raw materials in the house. And that creates other forms of toxicities and carcinogens. And this is your home that you're

living in. Yeah, I mean, our living environment is one of the most important aspects to our reality. It's your sanctuary. Your body is designed to go into that home and rest and go into a parasympathetic state so it can rebuild and regenerate. But if you have disturbances in the field of the home, you'll never be able to detoxify, you'll never be able to regenerate. Where do we detoxify? We detoxify when we go to sleep. So sleep is when the body goes through a detoxification process. And I orveda explains that into detail in terms of like the system. Like from 10 p.m. to a midnight, it's this. From midnight to this, it's this organ. Then it goes into the lungs. And then it builds up film. And then it pushes it out to all. That's why we have, you know, buggers in our eyes and we have film over our tongue and all that kind of stuff.

that's because the body's been cleansing all day and night, all day night. But if we are stuck in exposure, 24 hours a day, seven days a week from whatever we're doing, we're never given the body and the ability to cleanse. So little tips that the audience can do when it comes to their cleaning supplies. I also notice you're going to think I'm crazy, but we're at a hotel right now because we're in L.A. And I noticed that the sheets, they're using some really gnarly, like bleach or chemical and we're just breathing it in. I was thinking about that last night. I'm like, how do we combat that?

Like, what are little, like, do you have brands that you use? What can the audience do? Well, we're kind of putting it back into our own responsibilities. So I wasn't even going to bring this up. But right now, we're in the design stage of developing all home, you know, everything you need. I call them the raw equipment for the home to keep things. stabilize and keep things in equilibrium.

That's going to blow the fuck up. Oh, blow the fuck up. And it's making things so simple yet effective. And it's removing all of the harmful agents that spike insulin levels, that spike cortisol, that causes multi-inflammatory responses in the body. I can't wait for this. Simplicity is where what the design is. So, yes, we're right there for that.

And that's happening actually probably by the end of Q2. So that's coming pretty quick. Can I be your first customer? Of course you can. Really quick, is there laundry detergent? Yes. Okay. So let's take it.

Let's take a step back. Let's say I come to you guys for Chervine. I'm just, you know, I'm a regular guy. I've been living in Los Angeles. I've determined to get my health in order. And I don't know where to begin. I have a basic diet once in a while. I'm out drinking once in a while.

I'm doing fast food. But the majority of the time I'm trying to eat clean. Like, like, I'd say like that's the majority probably of the listenership. Of course. You know, it's like an 80, And I come to you and I'm like, I want to kick it to the next level. And I want you to give me two or three things that you would start with so that I don't get overwhelmed, but so that I can kickstart in the right way. Where do you tell me to begin?

Well, so right there. So everyone's, you know, everyone's striving for balance. Everyone wants to do good. I mean, let's call it. Unless you're just like on that path of self-destruction and you're just like in that trauma path. But there are people out there that's doing that. But that is a process that some people have to go through to hit rock bottom. So identify the exposures you're already receiving.

So we talked about that. So now let's move it up a notch. How you do anything is how you do everything. So start creating momentum in your everyday life on things that you can do. What water are you drinking? Right. Where are you getting your water? Are you drinking out of the tap?

Are you drinking something from some plastic bottle that you have no idea where it's coming? Is it some purified water? Let's try to source good spring water. Maybe you go to your local grocery store and see if there's any good spring water there. Water is super important. Number two, what are you bathing in? Did we talk about this on the first one? In the shower. Got to get a shower filter. What you're bathing in is sometimes more even more important than what you're drinking. Number two, number three, are you moving your body, right? In order to release chemicals and toxins and metabolic waste, we need to be in movement. Movement is just as important

as the nutrition you're putting in your body, maybe even more depending on your genetics and certain other things. So we got to get, we got to be moving. We got to get it, be in our breath work. We got to be in our yoga. We got to be inverting our body. We got to be taking our body to extreme positions where the body has to fight resiliency. Like like I'm in a cold plunger. I'm in the infrared sauna. I'm doing all these things. Maybe you don't have access to these things. Get into, start sprinting on the beach. You know what I mean? Explosive movements. These kinds of things radically move the lymph system so it can push toxic burdens out. If you're eating fast food once a week, turn it into once every two weeks. You know what I mean? Just simple steps that people

can take where it's not such a radical shift on their life. Because I'm not trying to tell people that take away what your coping stuff is, but just start being present to it as opposed to like letting some like other control keep you into like a blind movement. We want to be aware of what we're doing every single day. In terms of cleansing methods, I mean, we have a, you know, a charcoal, zeolite, night clay that tastes delicious. When's the right time to take that, by the way? You can take it any time. I prefer taking it on the rise fasted or in the evening fasted.

Okay. So you want to do it like in a window where there's no food? And not when you're pregnant. I can't. I won't recommend taking that while you're pregnant. But wink, wink, I don't see a problem with it. It's like one of those things that I have to be careful because, you know, there's certain things.

There's certain studies out there that say, We don't know what, you know, zeolite, how that interferes with pregnancy and stuff like that. I mean, you'd have to take copious amounts. But I would, you know, just talk to your, you know, your health care practitioner or your alternative health person. For me to comment on that is a little bit dicey for me. Is there anything that you cannot take when you're pregnant that you're like, do not take that pregnant?

I would say in our product line. It could be in your product line or a mineral or a vitamin that you recommend avoiding. I would say stay away from our coated silver when you're pregnant because it's just so powerful and there's no point of taking it while you're pregnant. What's out there? I mean, most of the garbage that's being sold in most grocery stores that's being pawned off as vitamins, I would stay away from, of course. And what would you like lean towards? Which, out of all your products, what would you lean towards? I mean, our D3K2, for example, is one of the most important products that a pregnant, you know, mother can take. Isn't C important for pregnant?

too. Fat soluble vitamins, vitamin C. You know what my favorite product is of yours? Our magnesium. Yes. How'd you know I was going to say that? It's just, you know, it's a fan favorite, and it actually is one of the most powerful ways of getting magnesium into your brain. Dude, it is. Are you taking the topical too? I'm, no, that's what I'm taking. Oh, you're talking about the topical. Yes. Yes. There is this spray that symbiotica has. It's in a blue bottle, you guys, and it's a spray, and you spray it on your body, and it's a topical magnesium that absorbs to the skin. It's a little bit of lavender and it smells so nice. It's so nice to wind down.

And I'm telling you, I spray it every single day. I do 20 sprays twice a day. Same. I'm about 20 sprays a day. It's amazing. I like that product. Can you do more vitamin sprays so I can just spray it every night on my body? If you could have any drink right now, Lauren, what would it be?

It would probably be Ashland's hard seltzer, ginger peach. I would love a ginger peach hard seltzer. Maybe in a wine glass with some ice, a sprig of mint, a straw. It sounds so good. You know who my best friends were during the pandemic? Who? First, my own thoughts and then Ashland Hard Seltzer. That is true.

And I'm telling you, when I give birth, I want Ashland Hard Seltzer on ice. It's the highest quality Seltzer, in my opinion, on the market, which is why we obviously partnered with them. Handcrafted Seltzer, the best, not just some swill in a bottle. This stuff is amazing. They have all different flavors, lavender, lemonade, orange pineapple. ginger peach. I also really like their watermelon. We had it at Saz's birthday and it was such a hit with the guest. They kept coming up to me. It's like in this turquoise can that looks really cute on the

Instagram feed. I have not found a better seltzer than Ashland Hard Seltzer. It's one of the only hard seltzer that's not super sugary and heavy. And it was founded in our hometown, San Diego in 2020. And it is the number one selling independent hard seltzer on the market in California. It's gluten-free, malt-free, zero carbs, sugar-free, no fat, and 100 calories. Okay. So for more info on Ashlyn, follow them on Instagram at Ashland-H-H-H-L-Seltzer. That's A-S-H-H-H-H-L-A-N-R-Seltzer. Check them out on Instagram. They're the brand to follow. They're the brand to drink. Ashland-Hard-Seltzer, our favorite. And drink a ginger peach for me. Certain things can pass the skin barrier a lot easier than others. Magnesium chloride, that comes

from the Dead Sea. So that's specifically from the Dead Sea. It's transdermal magnesium. Plus, we have micro amounts of DMSO in there, dimethyl sulfoxide, which is a very polarizing raw material. But anything that's on the surface of your skin with DMSO will get into your blood. And so that's like a, I mean, that's a powerhouse. And we're so deficient in magnesium. It's, we're, you know, we're hitting like, you know, pandemic levels when it comes to like magnesium deficiency. I was just doing a whole interview on magnesium last Friday, I think. Magnesium is what controls nerve signaling. And so if you're deficient in magnesium and your nerve signaling is cut, then all of your body's ability to do anything

that it needs to do is blunted. And when it's blunted, what happens? You become emotionally unstable, and then you're going to want stimulants and you're going to want all these different things. At the root of it, we just need to be mineralized. And that's why we drink our Sheila Jeet, you know, which you guys were calling black gold or no liquid gold. Yeah, it's therapeutic. I like it when it goes in the water. Yeah, no. I sit there and look at it. Same here.

You just had, this is your new protein. You guys are the first people outside of our tribe tribe. This is it, right? That's it right there. I just almost down the whole thing. It's so good. It tastes like vanilla, but not like overwhelming vanilla. And it tastes, I swear this is so weird.

I can tell it's like already working. Is that weird? This is it. It's just, it's never been. done before. How many grams of protein? What's in this? Is this water in this or is the powder? Oat milk. 20 grams of protein per serving. It's you know organic spirulina, organic hemp, organic pea protein, not no isolates. We don't believe in isolates. It's filled with raw green complexes from organic alfalfa to barley grass. It's got all kinds of

probiotics and prebiotics in here. Anyway. No way in here. Okay. I had Dr. Gundry on and he said if you want to age, eat way. Do you agree with that statement? If you want to age well or if you want to get older quicker. If you want to get older quicker, eat way. He does not like it. I think way can have a place depending on the workouts you're doing,

learn. I mean, that's part of it and not always, you know, create it equal. That's another thing. You can just blanketly shit on Way. I'm not blankly shitting on Way.

I'm not trying to do BAPR for Way. I do think that there are like you're, I think alluding to, there's a lot of companies that utilize Way in a very poor. way. Way is one of those things. It's, it's the milk.

That was good. It's the milk industry, right? So the milk industry has as a byproduct and then it uses way, takes that protein. And then, you know, all the bodybuilders take it. And then they're just like producing methane gas out of it. It's disgusting.

But for example, like I love my dad, but he's a byproduct of Costco. Like this guy walks into Costco. Doesn't even need a car. They're like this way, sir. They open up a separate rope for this motherfucker. And I told him, like, I'm trying to get him like more of these types of supplements. Because he goes and gets the Costco. And I'm like, Dad, you might not be doing yourself any good there.

Like, but it's that generation, right? It's like, well, we got the Bork Costco deal. There's so much trust. There's so big cheese at things. Actually, you know what, though? I don't want to shit too much on Costco because I could use a Costco sponsorship. No, I think Costco's actually evolving in certain ways because they're starting to get the truth. I wanted to share with you.

And I wanted to talk two more things on this. I took a 900,000 biomarker epigenetic test. I don't know if you saw that. I took it six months ago before a stem cell procedure that I did. I wanted to see the efficacy of the stem cells. So Duke University partnered with true diagnostic and they test 900,000 biomarkers associated with aging from methylation to inflammation to all these different things. And what is this test entails?

Blood is it? Blood is it like it's for everything? It's blood. There's questionnaire and all that kind of stuff. But it's a lot of blood. And it took three and a half months, four months to get the results. And so I'm, you know, my chronological age, I was born December, 1980. I'm 41.

But I got my epigenetic test back. And there it is. It says I'm 24. 24. 24. Everything's 24 on your body. On my body. Every single facet of your body's 24. It's a 300 page report. Okay. I have it's 24 Jamie. Is he 24 everywhere? I love a 24 year old. It's been validated. I love a 24 year old. Especially on the rise. You get what I'm saying. Sometimes I got to jump in a cold shower. Just to be able to go. But you're attributing the majority of these great results to. It's everything.

Yeah. It's a perspective. It's the biology of belief. You know, Dr. Bruce Lipton says what you believe you're going to be. And epigenetics shows that through our environment. And our environment is our thoughts. It's our emotions. It's our day-to-day rituals.

It's the foods we eat. It's the people we associate with. It's all of these things contribute to how we express certain genes towards aging. And we now know the root cause of all disease. is aging. So aging is an actual disease. They're not separated anymore. If you're, you know, if you're a 60 year old is 2,000 times more likely to develop certain cancers than a 30 year old. And so why is that? Is it just because the number 60? No, it's because things wear out and things get tiresome and the body's ability to hold its energy and frequency and electricity starts to

wither out. So what we want to do is we want to do things to keep our voltage up. We want to keep our electric flow up. This is why toxins are burdens. This is why, you know, all these things are happening. There's a root cause to all of these pathologies. And we want to make sure that we're doing everything in a proper way so we can express through life properly and have the best time ever. And it's not about living to 200 years old or anything like that. It's, I want to be 90 and feel like I'm 30. Well, what you're saying has been proven now too. Like I read this book a while back and I'm going to fuck up. Maybe I'll link it in the intro. And it basically pointed out that if you were in the mid-1800s and you made it past your mid-40s, like you were considered an elderly person.

Right. Because one- That's the centurion. That was the centurion back then. Yeah, exactly. Like living conditions. And if you told people now like, hey, 40s old, they freak the fuck out. And it proves, one, obviously living conditions and the way we take care of our bodies, but also that humans now believe that you should get into your 80s and 90s as an elderly

person. If you don't believe that before and you think 40s, and of course, that contributes. Biology of belief. Yes. And that's why all these these. commercials on TV, these pharmaceutical commercials where it's showing people in their elderly and all this kind of stuff, that's all just a complete scam. It's just pounding in a narrative and people, you know, you start believing that you're going to shift your lifestyle to lead you directly into that.

That's a fact. It's also how people would believe they used to have to retire at like 50, 60, right? What is that? And then you basically, you tell yourself your life's over at that age. You almost have to put horse blinders on and just blind all this shit out and not let it affect the narrative in your brain. I completely agree. I mean, we just got back from Tulum a few days ago. We were down there and we were with a lot of tribe. And I was just like, I was just, I was like I forgot what I had forgotten, you know, living on the land. Like what? You know, well, I just, you know, we went through the Mayan ruins and we went through, you know, different like parts of the land. And you're just, you're reminded on what life's all about. And it's stripped from all the chaos of all these different things that this new technological. world is created. And so your level of presence is so like, it's like omnipotent. Like you're like in God mode because you're so present. And when you're so present, you're so radically connected to like the people around you and the choices that you're making as opposed to just like taking on like,

you know, you're scurrying around, you know, like a chicken with its head cut off running around in circles. It just, it just put me into such. It's like when I'm in Kauai or when I'm out in the land or I'm out in the yard. These are the moments that, you know, we need to start building more momentum towards. And that's how we stay young. That's how we stay healthy. I have gotten so into meditation this pregnancy. Like I'm just meditating all the time. It's almost like obnoxious. I don't know it's because I can't have a margarita, but I'm just like meditating a lot. Do you have a meditation practice that you could share with the audience? Is it the same every day? Is it different when you travel? Could you walk us through that?

What if I told you changing your mood was just as easy as changing a song on your phone and that you could not only change your mood, but your energy levels as well. Whether you want to feel super relaxed, wind down and get some great sleep, or just feel happy and energized like you just had a cup of coffee. Well, I got the answer for you. And that's happy. As many of you know, I've been on a full-blown wellness kick for the last six months and recently shared a bunch of our protocols.

We just did a full episode about this. And then after I did the episode, I found the happy. And lo and behold, now they're a partner. So here's how it works. You put this device around your neck like a necklace or around your head and then use your phone app to decide which happy signals to your body. The signals replicate magnetic signatures that only your body can hear and they give you the same sensations as caffeine, alcohol, melatonin without any of the chemicals or side effects. It's backed by decades of research, but listen, I get it. You might be skeptical. So was I. But rest assured, I've tried it. And if you

don't believe me, it also has a 365-day guarantee, which means you can test it for a full year. Can't figure it out by a full year? I don't know what to tell you. Give Happy a try and you're going to love it as much as I do. Order today and you'll save 25% and get 90 days free access to all their signals. Take advantage of their 365 day guarantee today. Go to happy.com slash skinny. That's H-A-P-B-E-E-E-D-com slash skinny to save 25% on your order. You don't believe me.

It also has a 365-day guarantee, which means you can test it for a full year. Can't figure it out by a full year? I don't know what to tell you. Go to happy.com slash skinny. That's H-A-P-B-E-E-E-D-E-E-E-D-E-E-E-E-D-E. com slash skinny to save 25% on your order happy.com slash skinny. Yeah, I think that's, first of all, great work. I mean, or great magic. I don't even want to call that work because that's some kind of magic. When you're meditating, you're allowed to tune into your, you know, your internal self

outside of the frontal conscious. And we know the subconscious is 50,000 times stronger than the regular conscious. Like, for example, like driving here to L.A., I was on the, I was on a phone call half the time. And I don't even remember driving here. Right. So my subconscious took over that drive where my front conscious was in that call with like team members or stuff like that. That's how powerful the subconscious is. And so when you get into meditation, you're tapping into that subconscious, so you're allowing access to it. And that's one of the most valuable things we can do in terms of our health and our overall destiny in life, especially while carrying a child. You have a child that's taking the cues from you completely. So for me, I think any

Anything can be meditation. You know, obviously deep diaphragmatic breath, like, which is what I probably should have done before I jumped onto this table. Slowing down all of my, you know, biological systems that are related to the main prana or main access point to our life, which is breath. And that's breathing deeply through the gut, slow, calculated breaths, and then eventually turning it up into the lungs. Number two, whatever you like to do. Like, you know, this came up because I was listening to a podcast with me and my friend Jennifer, she had just given birth and we were talking about her pregnancy and stuff. And we said that in order to really like get to a place of like higher health and balance

and wellness, we have to do the things that we love to do. And so like for me, I love to grow food. I love to get out into the yard. I love to walk on the beach. I love to swim in the ocean. I love to surf and whether it's shore break or out there on a point break. Those are all forms of meditation for me. Being in those types of movements and things like that that have become ritual is a meditation.

So it doesn't have to be in Vapasana, you know, around with like, you know, 432 hertz chimes. You don't have to take it to that. You can, but it doesn't have to be in that for it to be a meditation. your meditation could be anything that you love to do with consistency and ritual that brings a positive effect back to you. I love it. Yeah, of course. Last night, we were talking about it was Sunday night and we had to get back to work this week and there's so much to do. We were talking about how we were anxious.

What do you do when you're anxious? What's in your toolbox? Is it a vitamin? Is it a meditation? Is it sitting in silence? What are your little tools that you use when you feel anxiety creeping up? I got to move my body. So first and foremost, if I feel anxiety, it's probably because I'm not moving my body.

Moving my body is really what releases endorphins and lowers the stress. Getting my feet onto the earth, first and foremost, like, that has to happen. Climbing a tree, hugging a tree. Those are the things. Making sure I'm hydrated, right? A lot of stress comes from clinical dehydration. We're dehydrated as a humanity. I mean, on epic levels of dehydration, you know, getting nutrients in my body, making sure I'm having

healthy fats into my body. There's a lot of supplements on the symbiotical line, especially that can create balance. Like our magnesium L3 and 8, that's a massive dose to magnesium straight to the brain that immediately calms the central nervous system and relaxes the body. That stuff's incredible. I was almost out and your sight was out and I was like, I was almost having a meltdown. I was like, fuck, do I got to pull a power? It's hard to keep that in stock. I was like, do I get to call this guy up pull that move. Michael likes the just for the audience to know that Michael likes the packets and I like the spray.

I mean, I like the packets too. I just love the spray. Listen, I'm not bullshitting and this is... Well, they both work synergistically because they're different forms. I'm telling you this honestly and I obviously work with different businesses across the show. Sure. I love every fucking product. I take I'm not kidding. I almost take

all of them. I think. I think. Is it a collection? I'm not taking the allergy more right now. They're getting better. Do you know what he did in kindergarten? he collected every single pez that there was on the planet. Every single pez. And his mom still has them.

He has like 6,000 pez that he collected. That's his meditation. Your vitamins are now the pez. These are the right things to collect. Women, you know. Oh, yeah. Okay. You collect women.

I'm too tired. I love to you. I love you. I love your honest. It's so refreshing. Back to the magnesium, though. Yeah. Well, both magnesium.

works synergistically together. So the three and eight crosses the blood brain barrier. Explain what that means. Okay. So magnesium is the is the conductor of nerve signaling throughout the body. That's why when you drink alcohol, it strips your body of magnesium. That's why you black out. I mean, just think about that. Right. And that's a whole concept that we can get into. So that's why I've locked out. Yeah. Well, alcohol strips you of, you know, a lot of nutrients, specifically magnesium. And that's a problem. Magnesium is the, it creates the electrical connection between cells. We're electrical. Your heart's electrical, your brain's electrical, all that kind of stuff. So we're completely deficient in magnesium. That's a fact. It's not in our foods anymore.

We're supposed to be getting our magnesium from certain meats, from dark greens, different stuff, but it's just, it's devoid because the soil is devoid. So we got a supplement. MIT was able to figure out how to get magnesium in the brain at a high clip, and they created magnesium L3 and 8, which is a salt, vitamin C, chloride attached to magnesium. And then, that penetrates the blood brain barrier at a high rate. Most magnesium can't make its way up there. That's why most magnesium is almost like a laxative, right? If you take too much magnesium, you're just kind of cleaning out your bowels.

So this form makes it to the brain. We put ours in liposomal form and just made it taste fantastic with all organic raw material. So it's the best ever. You combine that with our magnesium chloride, the topical. then you're getting both, you're triangulating magnesium into your center point. I mean, it's just,

that's probably the most important thing you can do nutrient-wise is become overly saturated in magnesium. Let's say you're talking to someone who's on a college student budget. They're living in their dorm and they can only afford a couple of products. Yes.

What would you recommend to them or is it different for everybody? Well, that's why Symbiotica does such a good job and the team does such a good job, but that's why we introduced the bundling service. So our thing is, is that we're just trying to grow the company and put out the best products ever.

So we created a subscription service where you can get, you know, these products at a very reasonable cost. So I just wanted to put that out there. And you offered a generous code for these listeners going to skinny. So that too. It applies to the bundle, yeah. We want to help people. How are we going to help them if we're burning their, you know, abundance out the window? We want them to see results.

We want them to be going to the doctor less. We want them to be paying for crap less. So we're going to make the best products on Earth, even though it costs us an arm and a leg. I mentioned to you our new protein formula that's coming out. This has to be a must for everybody, hands down. And then from there, our magnesium formula, our vitamin C formula, our methylcobolamine combo, the B12 formula. Those are 100% and our Sheila-G, because that's like just a high dose of mineralization.

Here's how I see it. And I try to consider myself to be a semi-productive person, if not productive person. And when I think about spending money on supplements or health and wellness to make me feel better, logically, you would think that if I feel better and have more energy and I'm in a healthier space, that I could be more productive, right? And if I could be more productive, I could actually potentially create more sources of income, more abundancy in my life, more opportunities for the people I work with the people I care about. Shocking revelation, right?

And so like when I, when people, you know, because I'll share this stuff and we've been talking more about our health. and people inevitably will say, well, this stuff is expensive. And I'm like, yes, it is an investment. But you would never start a business or a relationship or anything without putting in it. You would put an investment into those entities, whatever they are, to help them grow. Of course. So you would think that a similar concept would apply to your body. Yes, it's an investment.

But if you put money or dollars or something, whatever into that, into this vessel, you will have a better vessel that can produce more. Absolutely. Or money, more, whatever. Okay. But here's the problem. It's an investment. Michael's nails since he's been on your product have never been longer.

I've known him since he was 12. His nails are so long he has acrylics. He has to fucking cut his nails every two days. His nails are growing and growing and growing and growing. His hair too. Those are indicators that you're properly mineralized. So your nails, your skin, those are all indications that your body is firing on a good level. Well, I know too because I just went through maybe not as in depth as you did, but I went

through this whole crazy blood panel with like your blood count, your hormone level. your liver, all the shit, like as much as I could get. And like for the first time in a few years, all my vitamin levels are like pretty optimal. Amazing. Yes, that's cool. I wanted to tell you that. That's my favorite thing. I received probably 10 of those a day from people. They send it to me on social media or I get emails of them, you know, sending me their blood results across the board, their panels, all this and this and that. And they're just like, wow, this is, this is actually changing my life. Thank you. To see it like empirically versus just like, oh, I feel better is really important and something we're looking at in Symbiotica to create

actual testing kits so people can see their levels. We're working on that. We're, this is, we're moving at a fast rate. There's so many things going on right now. It's insane. But we have the best team on earth. Our entire Somatica family is incredible. And I'm going to say this right now because if this is coming out on the 31st, we just did a brand. We're redoing the brand right now. So everything's kind of upgrading. And we just moved into our campus. down in San Diego and it's a 20,000 square foot campus I want to check it out next time we're down there soon

when you come to walk into this place you're like wait a second people come here to work I mean it's got like meditation rooms and yoga and it's like this is what Symbiotica is that's what we're doing I work with this body worker

that's the most I connected you to Josh he is the most incredible body worker ever I'm setting up we're setting that up you're gonna fucking flip when you when you mean you mean him. I want a fucking flip.

He always, no, it's a whole thing, different thing. You literally get high. So he's, he's super into what he eats and what goes into his body and on his body, like more than anyone I've ever met. I don't want to put him on blast, but like the physicians and doctors who work, they're people. It's crazy. No, yeah. He's on the level. He's amazing.

Yeah. So he always talks to me about all these healthy things that I can do. And he said, yeah, I have these two role models that I look to when it comes to supplements. And he said you and David Sinclair. Oh, wow. And I had just interviewed you. And I was like freaking out and we like went back and forth about it. And he was just saying that both of you guys just know your shit.

And then I realized that you guys are also friends. What are a couple things that you and David Sinclair? Yeah. What are some things that you have taught him and he has taught you in the wellness world? Well, you know, David Sinclair, first of all, that's beautiful to receive that. I'm forever a student. And I want to make that clear. I chop wood, carry water.

I become enlightened. And then I do the same thing every single day. And that is, you know, that's like a, that's the way to live your life. I'll forever be a student and I'm always learning. I learned a lot from David over the last few years just by seeing how they approach aging. And I read his book. And he has this whole concept that you live in a health span, half your life. And at some point, you cross over into the disease span.

And when I mentioned earlier that disease is a product of aging, I got a lot of that information from him in terms of understanding how our cellular networks were and different factors that cause activations of genes expressing aging before it's supposed to. So he talks about certuan pathways. What is it about a certuan pathway? How do we flex our health and stay active? And that inspired me to really start pushing my body into Hormesis. which I already knew at an early age, this is the way to go.

What is Hormesis? That which does not kill you makes you stronger, right? So jumping in cold rivers, you know, fasting for three, four days, having my body's, you know, survival mechanisms expressed. We need that. We are, you know, we're in a mechanistic material world now where if we want to change the temperature, we press a dial. If we want to go to sleep, we put the shades down.

If we want food and water, we press a button or make a phone call. A hundred years ago, we had to hunt our food. We had to grow our food. We had to put the fire on. We had to do all these things that our livelihood and our lives depend on. That creates immune system and creates strength. And for me, my nose is running right now because I think I got attacked allergy-wise. It's so funny because when I was in Austin, I got worked after I met you guys.

Yeah, that's Cedar Fever. Long story short, David Sinclair taught me what I already knew instinctively and then showed me the science behind it. And then it motivated me to create a formula nicotinamide mononucleotide NMN and combine that with other antioxidants that work synergistically with it. It's probably our number one anti-aging formula that we have. I don't know if you're on the NMN. It's the white bottle.

It's the white bottle. I've seen it, but I haven't tried it yet. I made a big mistake. I took zinc on an empty stomach. Oh. Holy shit. That was a mistake, huh? Why is it a PSA out there? Why did it fuck my stomach up so much without eating? Okay, because it's works. Okay, number one, right? So it's a very complex form of zinc. There was three forms in there with two forms of copper and one form of selenium. Four of them are trademarked.

That thing is a monster. It's a beast. You know, that's like your Viagra, by the way. You know, you take one of those in the evening. You're on. Your dick's hard all night. All night, especially on the wrong. eyes. So from like 6 a.m. to 10, like, forget about it. You know, that's baby making time. So you got to have that with your largest meal of the day until you acclimate. I can take it right now, no problem, but I recommend people having it with like proteins. Why does it make the stomach feel like that? Well, you have tight junctions in your gut. And so this is, this is such a concentrate that it just floods that and then causes the stomach to roll over and it just doesn't even know

how to acclimate it. It's just so potent, right? Think of like super potency. Like if you eat raw, like raw liver sometimes, like that's like so potent that can make you nauseous, things that are so nutrient dense. Keeping in the theme of wellness, as you guys know, Lauren and I take the just thrive probiotic and we're both obsessed with it. We've had founders of that brand on the show to discuss gut health multiple times. And we just think that that's at the top of the heap when it comes to probiotics. But they have another product that we both love and that's their just calm product. it's described as a psychobiotic because it's an incredible supplement

to reduce stress, balance cortisol, improve sleep, and it even encourages focus and flow. So you guys have been asking how do we get better sleep, how do we keep our stress in order? This is definitely one of the tools that we use. And we take this along with the probiotic for mood and stress balance and it's a full on game changer.

I imagine that many of you, especially if you listen to those two episodes with the Just Thrive founders, are already on their probiotic. And if you aren't, you really should be. Now, in addition to that, I would definitely like to recommend the Just Calm product as well. It's a great mood supplement, stress supplement, like I mentioned. And you can grab both and get 15% off at Just Thrive Probiotics.

And you can grab both and get 15% off both the Just Thrive Probiotic and the JustCom when you go to Justthrivehealth.com and use code Skinny at checkout. That's justthrivehealth.com and use code skinny at checkout. When you eat on a daily basis, like breakfast, lunch, and dinner, what are some things that you go towards. Like, are you reaching for almond butter? Do you eat a lot of greens? Like, are you more vegan? No, no, no, no. I'm a qualitarian. Self-proclaimed, qualitative. Wait, put that in your Instagram. It's on my front of my Instagram. Look, we talked about this last time. He's a qualitarian. I'm a qualitative. That's fucking amazing. Okay. So, last time you had fast food. I'm just

just curious. I mean actual like drive through fast food. Maybe when I was 18 or 19. Wow. Yeah. When's the last time you had fast? Friday, Taco Bell. Oof. How many times of week do you think you're eating fast food? Once. Lie.

Maybe twice. A day? No, a week. I don't go that often. That's like when I asked you how many times you watch porn a week and you're like once. And then I looked at your history and it was like every five minutes. Porn's another form of fast food, which is a disaster to the soul. Talk about that.

Go off. Go off. Go off. Go off. Go off. This guy grabs a bucket of Panda Express and hits the porn. I just want to say this about fast food, though, in particular. Fast food is not just because it's filled with trans fats and all these things, but it's filled

with weird karma. You're getting tortured animals that have been fucked up and their adrenaline. It was cranked when they tortured the animal and killed it. And you're taking on all of that energy. You're also getting filled with GMOs and pesticides and glyphosate, which dilapidate your microbiota, which then causes confusion and disaster, deregulates your immune system. fucks up your hormones, your thyroid goes out, then you have pituitary issues, then you're on all these fucking pharmaceutical drugs and you're fucked. All right. So, Burger King's never going to

sponsor this show now. He's ordering McDonald's as we speak. I'm just kidding. Let's talk about porn. Yeah, let's talk about porn. Porn, the mass ritual of devoiding the cosmic union. I mean, our lives are existing because of the alchemy between man and woman, right? That's the cosmic union. I mean, the expressiveness of creating a temple. on earth of just pure beauty and love and oxytocin and all these amazing like, you know, alchemies that are created between a man and a woman or, you know, people that love each other. So for me, pornography was particularly created and designed specifically to remove the, the sacredness of that experience between a man and a woman. Now, I'm not here saying that you can't get

kinky and get sexual and go into lust. Of course not. I think that's part of being human. I'm the same way. So I'm not judging that. But what I'm saying is that habitual pornography has lowered the gratitude of experiencing the cosmic union of creating life. And it's devalued the energy of that experiment and that experience of lovemaking. And that's destroyed the responsibility it is to choose a partner for that reason, as opposed to just doing it for a gratification. I mean, I like porn. I'm like you. I like porn. I can appreciate porn. I like watching porn with my husband sometimes. But I do agree that it is experience stretching. Like, because you're just stretching the experience, stretching the experience until like, I mean,

how do you even win? If you were watching porn, you know, since you were 10 years old, 11 years old, 12, that's really where the distortion can begin. Right. That's how you experience lovemaking and you project that into your partnerships. And, you know, it's not just so much the, you know, the positions of pornography, the physical person. It's just like, it just becomes repetitive.

And you lose like, you lose the, you lose the, you know. love part of it of actually sinking into your partnership and having the souls like actually melt into each other and on that level. And I'm not just speaking hippity-dipity. This is, you know, this is real tantric lovemaking and things of that nature. But you know, you're in a marriage. You got kids. You want to spark things up a bit. I'm not about saying, bring in another third girl or whatever or, you know, watch a little bit of whatever. There's no judgment to that. You got to do what you got to do. But also, also just being hyper aware and knowing what your intention is with porn.

If your intention with porn is to just get off every single day with your hand, you're fucking yourself up. You're masturbating your your cosmic alchemy out the window. I do semen retention. What's that? Hold on. You got to get specific. What's semen retention?

No, you know what I love about this podcast? It's like we're talking about magnesium spray and then it's like I do semen retention. What's semen retention? We shouldn't be orgasming, you know, every single day. There are moments where we can have multiple. orgasms and just go berserk for a couple days. Absolutely. But ultimately, the longer we can hold our chi, our jing, our seed, the better it is for us for our ability to manifest, our ability

to get stronger physically. It takes a lot of the body to manufacture semen. Yeah, I think it's a mistake when guys are just getting off all the time. Because like you said, I think it, I think it diminishes a lot of the returns you get in other areas of life, right? 100%. And that's science too. So it's spiritual and it's science. That's one of the biggest problems with porn, especially for young. I mean, luckily, I grew up in a time, I mean, similar to you. Like, when we found a porn cassette, it was like, holy shit. I remember that.

Like, we didn't have, it wasn't instant access. And I didn't get a smartphone until after college, right? So you got to go out and hunt, right? When Taylor got his smartphone, he's scheduled, he penciled in porn three times a day. I empathize. I have parents that are parents of older kids now, older boys. And, like, say they're like 12, 13, and they have instant access to porn on their phone. 24-7. I don't think that's going to manifest

in a good way long term. You know what? This was not the move. Just a side note to light this candle with you. I didn't light the candle. Taylor did. Let's believe we know Taylor this episode. Just blame it on Taylor. But this candle is not the move. Why are we sending candles in here? Just while we have you, candles we got to be careful

of too, right? Anything that you're going to inhale for sure. Mostly candles are filled with so much weird pesticides and toxins and chemicals and weird petuliums. Yeah, you got to have like a beeswax one that's non, Fragrant. Any brands or no. Are you lighting candles in your house? Of course, but we make our own. Oh my God. You make your own. Of course. He went down. He left it. He pulled it. He found the wax.

Maybe we got a, well, maybe we need a candleline too. Well, I wanted to come here and really set it off today, but it was a disaster getting into L.A. How about pregnancy real quick before we go? Go. And postpartum. And postpartum. I mean, yeah, postpartum is real, right? You have like all these hormones that are trying to switch on because you're creating a baby and then all of a sudden you have estrogen dominance and all of a sudden you get hair loss and depression and anxiety and you dry up emotionally and physically. So there's a lot of things, a lot of strategies that we have to implement to make sure that that process is a lot smoother. Help me. When she's going through it this time, I'm bringing you in. You don't have a choice. Put it on the calendar. No, that's the next episode is

postpartum. Last time she struggled, she's talked about it. Okay. Let's definitely do that. I'm going to text you though and annoy you. Like what are some supplements that I should be taking postpartum and what can Michael do to support me? Because last time was interesting. What? Healthy fats. I mean, our, okay, so I'm surprised we haven't talked about it, but our omega formula, which is the cleanest omega formula on earth, hands down, not even close.

The black one with the acid. Astazanthin, Tacosahexinoic acid. There's E.P.N. there's C. Buckthorn, Omega 3679. You need these healthy omegas in there. These are healthy fats that will help stabilize a lot. of the estrogen issues that you could be, you know, creating. Also our D3K2. This is the new one that actually comes out tomorrow on symbiotica. This right here, the K2 specifically, that will really help with the formation of the child's jaw structure and bone structure and all that.

So there's something to that. This green formula, this right here, two of these a day. You're solid. You're stoked. You're happy. This is, I mean, this right here, just there's dairy-free probiotics in here. There's soil-based probiotics. We also have a digestive enzyme complex in here called Digestase, Seb, which is a trademark version. That's protease, amelais, cellulase, lactase, lichase, all that in this. There's organic mushrooms in here. This is a meal here in the best way ever. And there's no, all these companies out there, even the ones that look organic and greenwash, some of them have natural flavors in there. They all have fillers in there. Do you know what we used as a raw material? Let me just say this. This is how crazy we are.

You have to have an agent in there so this thing doesn't clump, right? And this has been sheared so much that it's a micro powder. You can mix it without a blender. So you have to have something in there. We have no fillers in here, no gums, none of that stuff. We used Beobobab extract. Do you guys know what Beobab is? Bealbub is the tree of life from Africa. And it comes from this specific part of the Mozambique where there's a tribe of women. that are taking this fruit off the tree, drying it and grinding it. And it's a prebiotic. So we have, we're like the first company that's not only energetically, like,

just think about the energy of that, but that's our filler to keep this thing stable. It's from a Beobab tree, from Africa. And it's a prebiotic. It just shows you like how you do anything, how you do everything. This, I mean, this, everything we talk about, it's like intention behind every move, every action, every step. You want to watch porn, have intention with it. it. You want to have a margarita, have intention with it. When I was in, you know, in Touloum,

I had a mescal. Fuck yeah. But that, I knew where that mescal was coming from. And I had, my intention was it was to tap into an energy with that mescal not to get plastered and forget about the night and do stupid shit, you know? Next time we have you on, we'll talk all about postpartum. Let's go heavy on postpartum. We can do a whole thing because I had, I was not prepared the first time. Yeah. I don't think I even was taking a supplement. just like a multivitamin. Yeah, there's so many things from breathwork to red light therapies, to the position of your sleeping, to the waters you're drinking, to the fats you're eating, to certain nutrients

and certain... To my husband rubbing my feet and doing... Placenta capsules. I ate my placenta. You ate your placenta. Should I have eaten it like a steak or I ate it in pill form? Both, right? So the placenta is an organ that's created to create the conductor of life.

Oh, Christ. You should probably put some of it in like a shake with raw milk. and then you should dry up the rest and then, you know, encapsulate it and eat it with fat. I have a hot tip. My doula told me to save some of my placenta pills. So when my daughter hits the age of puberty, she can take them. It's supposed to help your daughter get through puberty. I thought that was interesting.
