So we're going to dissect it all today. I'm going to warn you, maybe midway through the podcast, you might want to get the kids out of the room because we're going to talk about the stuff that everybody wants to talk about, but nobody does. All this stuff that the wives want their husbands to hear and husbands want their wives to hear, but nobody has the balls to do it, so we're going to go down that road today. My guest I am proud to call a close friend.

She's very close with my daughter and my family. Welcome to the podcast, Larissa, a.k.a. Anita! It's like a freaking Oprah Winfrey episode up in here! Thank you! It's literally like an Oprah Winfrey episode. I am super happy to be here. I'm so happy to be here, too, because you and I have had an amazing journey, right? Yes.

Aside from the fact that you go dancing with my wife and travel the world with my daughter, and our families have become so close. But when we first met, you know, we were introduced by Dave Grutman, the hospitality king of the world. And I, you know, they talk about six degrees of separation. When you put Dave Grutman's name in there, it becomes of separation like how does one person know so many people but when when he first called me to have a conversation with you um it was not a particularly good time in your life and I remember he told me all about you and you know at that time you were on this meteoric rise. And the media had discovered you. The music industry had discovered you. And you were just on this meteoric rise.

But you were really suffering. Yeah. I was struggling. Yeah. I was thinking I was going to die for real. You know, our very first FaceTime, you were laying on a couch and you didn't even take your head off the pillow. I remember it. Somebody put the FaceTime down on the couch and you were laying there and we started having this conversation and you were actually deep in the struggle of endometriosis.

Not only that, right? Yeah. Remember, it was not only that right yeah remember it was not only that well i mean it also affected your you know mood your emotional state you know you cried a little on the phone to me i just remember feeling this deep sense of this woman's trapped my hormones remember my hormones oh yeah yeah when we got crazy hormone panel yes you're having a lot of pain you're up for those for people that don't know what endometriosis is and most women are familiar at least with what the condition is but it's where tissue from the uterus yeah grows

outside of the uterus the ovaries and it and it can be very very painful and um i remember we got blood labs on you and i was talking to Dr. Sarda and she was like, Oh my God, this poor woman's tortured. And, you know, we've got to get this, this birth control out of her body. I remember you were going back to Brazil to have the procedure done. Um, I mean, look at you now, um, things have obviously changed, but, but let's, let's talk about a little bit about that journey. Yeah. don't i don't point the surgery as the solution for anything right for me the solution was when i met you and i started to actually take care of the 360 of life of my life not only like oh because i think before meeting you and everything

and getting into the nutrition and understanding how to eat healthy and the behaviors we can do we can have in our day-to-day before that i and i think most of the people are like that too is like they wait to feel that or to do a surgery to fix that and i think if you just live a life worrying about staying well you don't get to the point of needing to take the medicines and surgeries and etc etc yeah i mean that is so well said and i remember that our you know our journey like you know of course you had that um you know you had that birth control removed yeah um and that was a big part of it i remember we said look let's wait two weeks after you had that done they put it a uh uh iud that was of hormones

that didn't that made me very sad remember i was like depressed and then they changed to a ship kind of a ship. Yeah, the one that we can't even do here in the United States. And in Brazil, they do a lot. And I was like, this ended my life. I was like so frustrated and traumatized by going from doctor to doctor. And then when I met you and you said, listen, let's do all natural things. Yeah.

And you're going to get better. Also also i was always tired i remember that and this is also something that when i'm working too much and like for example i had carnival in brazil right now and i was the whole january and february working non-stop and did you see that video that i saw like It's like 3 a.m. to 3 a.m. Like, no, even more 3 a.m. to 7 a.m. I was like more than 30 hours working. And I was feeling like sleeping all day every time. And then people were like, oh, no, that's OK. It's because you were so tired that you need to sleep for days. And I like but this is weird i'm just feeling tired all day every day and i feel like it's because when you don't have like the discipline to remember oh listen i'm gonna eat right i gotta take the vitamins right i gotta do this and this and that remember to take care then you start falling again yeah and for me if you it's

very clear to me because then i came here right after right last week yeah and one day of of biohacking yeah one day of that and i was like wow i'm ready again i remember your face changed like just in the few hours that you were here. And we should talk about like, you know, what do we do? You know, basically we just tapped into Mother Nature. We just did it indoors with magnetism, oxygen, and light. Because one of my big things is the further that we get away from Mother Nature, the sicker we become. That's it.

And I introduced you to something called the pemf mat the pulse electromagnetic field mat and um it looks like a yoga mat and you just lay on it and and i know you love this thing love it it's my i take it everywhere i go yeah i can't i take everywhere she she told me a funny story and i'm just gonna to lay our crazy out there. So here, so here we go. We cut this out if you want. I don't care. It's fine. But she was like, I was with my boyfriend and he wanted to have some fun. And I was like, I don't feel like having sex.

And then she said she laid down on the PMF mat. No, but it was even harder than that because we went partying. It was my birthday trip. Right that because we went partying it was my my birthday trip right so we went partying we were like drinking drinking drinking and it might hit you in different ways you might just feel like super excited or and kind of like crying and this and that and that's how i was feeling i got to the hotel and i was like crying for no reason crying for nothing and he was like okay and i said i'm gonna go to sleep and i love that part i'm gonna go to sleep and i went to sleep cry i i turned on the mattress and i went to sleep crying 10 minutes 10 minutes after i did i want to have sex all of a sudden i was like on a very bad mood cry over nothing nothing happened and then i

turned on the mattress and i was like oh i just woke up i want to have sex you got alkaline dude the pemf mats are now sold out on amazon and sold out worldwide it's so good my dad also then we went on a trip and meet this this guy my dad and my dad was feeling very um sick because he had a beginning of diabetes going on like a very early almost we're gonna fix him too so he was like getting uh these shots to to get better and he was like having diarrhea throwing up he was like oh i'm so sick and we were like on a vacation trip i said please lay down on the mat this mattress i don't even know if i didn't even know if it was gonna work or not but i said this is the miracle mattress i have that is good for everything yeah and then i laid

down him for 30 minutes and he came back like let's go let's drink a beer let's have some fun i was like, wow. It's amazing what happens when you make the body alkaline. And for those of you that don't know what a PMF is, it's pulse electromagnetic field, low Gauss current. It's just mimicking the magnetism that we get from other earth. People are, you know, they go to the beach and like, I feel amazing.

It's because you've been touching the surface of the earth. You've been grounding, you've been getting all of those ions. It's not that difficult. You know, in our journey, I love what you said about, we're going to do things naturally, right? And because I remember just, I had this conversation with Dr. Sarda, she's our OBGYN and she's like, I know exactly where this girl is and she's being tortured and we've got to get her hormones into the same phase. And you know, this is a biohacking podcast. So I want to talk a little bit about how we biohacked our way out of the situation you're in. And your hormones were what she called aphasic,

meaning one was in one phase, one was in another phase, you know, one was ovulating, one was in luteal, one was in the follicular phase. And when this happens to women, when their hormones get out of ratio, not when their levels are too high or too low, but when their ratios are off. Remember there was one thing happening every time I would go to the gym for like three days, the fourth day I was full of pimples. Yes, breaking out like crazy.

We realized she had massively estrogen dominant. And so instead of going to hormones, progesterone, pregnenolone, the estradiols, instead of hitting you at your age with hormones, we brought in something very simple called DIM, diendolomethane. It's a cruciferous vegetable extract. It sort of sops up some of the phytoestrogens. We brought the estrogen back down into the normal range, very naturopathically, got you on some vitamin D3, put you on a really good methylated multivitamin based on your gene test. And I'm telling you, three weeks later, I saw a completely different, completely different human. I remember your face changed shape. Like you were like a little puffy and bloated.

The eyelids are full and also my hair yeah your hair was super brittle it was almost um falling out yeah it was yeah and your skin was dry and you were like this should be the greatest time of my life like my career is taking off i'm in such a great place i couldn't take advantage i had a number one song in the world and i couldn't take advantage of that because i got sick. Yeah. I couldn't take advantage. My career was like, Oh, boom. You know what I find too? I talk about this all the time. You know, if you ask any entertainer, entrepreneur, athlete, celebrity, or any average person, you know, any, any, any just middle-class America. And you said, what's more important, your, your career or your health? What's more important,

your business or your health? What's more important, money or your health? They'll always say my health. But then we need to take it a step further. And you're like, okay, do you own a business? Yeah, I own a business. How much did your business make last month? $628,000. How much did it net last month? $142,000. How many employees do you have? 17. What's your testosterone level? Blank. Right? What's your hemoglobin A1C? Blank. And you sort of prove to them that while, you know, we say that our health is the most important thing, number one, we don't have any data on our temple and number two we're really not prioritizing our health we're not and when you made that shift um how did it impact your career

your relationships like how did that shift just change the trajectory of your life i think it was a journey of first my mental health because remember you also told me about the lack of some vitamins that would make me overthink at night when i wasn't taking it methylfolate and that was happening a lot and then when i started taking the vitamins it was like gone i could sleep without being like i would think about the most random things there's so many people listening right now they're like oh my god that's my life i lay down to go to sleep i'm exhausted i'm body tired but i'm mind awake my mind was like and the shit you think about is the most innocuous nonsense it doesn't make yeah do they get everything on my grocery list uh like you

know should i have returned that phone call it's idiot stuff that you think about it's crazy and then when i started taking the vitamins that went goodbye to that i started to be relaxed and then i i got better in a sense of like i could meditate and have more time because i think i was too like addicted to screen and I think a lot of people are like that too addicted to be like rolling rolling rolling the phone and um that when went out it was over and then it got so much better for my mental health I was so I was feeling so much happier uh with myself that i wasn't hungry for winning hungry for more more money more this more that because i feel like our social um we are so cringy like so clean clingy it's clearly a cringy cringy like no uh say in portuguese and we'll change it. Like, it's carente. It's like.

Yeah. When you need other people's, like, approval or, like, the social. Every time talking to people and say, oh, yeah. Because I was telling Matty, his daughter. I was telling your daughter the other day. Yeah. People feel nowadays. People come to congratulate you for the things that you accomplished at work always if you get more money if you change the house

people will always say congratulation oh my god and if the person is not hot anymore there is this this saying here oh this person not hot anymore And it's even more in my industry. It's like, oh, now this thing, oh, it's hot now. And then next year, oh, it's not hot anymore. And I hate this. And that's why people are always like having this anxiety to do more, produce more, keep hot. And this is so much effort because you're competing with the whole world.

We are competing with robots because now the algorithms and the AI, the AI, you're competing with the whole world. We are competing with robots because now the algorithms and the AI, you're competing with people that don't even need a health, not even people, you're competing with things that don't even need a health life. So true.

And when my mentality got better, my mind got like more clear, I was able to stop thinking about it. If I'm going to be hot or not next year, if I'll be popping or not, if my if i'm gonna be hot or not next year if i'll be popping or not if my music is gonna be big or not if people are gonna like it or not i stopped thinking about that wow so i was able to work less and work only when i felt pleasure you know because i knew when i started working only when i felt pleasure that's a I want to just point that out I want to work on this this oh I'm not gonna enjoy that I don't want to do it because a lot of things

in work in the beginning of my career was like this I was only doing things that I liked and then things started to go big you know or if I did something that I didn't enjoy, I would always put my mindset to like, no, there is a good point on this, you know. And at some point when you start doing things just to get people's approval or just to maintain the success that you had once, you stop feeling this pleasure. Instead of feeling pleasure, you feel pressure. You know, you feel like, no, I got to achieve this because otherwise everybody's going to say I failed and I'm not hot anymore. You know? Yeah, the Grammy you won was last year, not this year. Yeah, that I was nominated. Yeah, I was nominated to the Grammy last year.

Oh, this year? Not anymore. She's not hot anymore. Like, who gives? Because when you die nobody will even remember this people yeah the only people who will remember are the people that you are not giving as much attention right now because you're too busy trying to please the people who worry about this yeah who care about how hot you are in the moment so true and when i stopped when i got healthier and

that's what i think when you're eating healthier when you're having healthier behaviors in your life when you're breathing when you yeah this when you're doing that you kind of don't get connected to this pressure and you stop worrying about it. So first for me was like that to get in a mental state. And I understand 100% that this is like the healthy, the discipline of health to your body makes your mind also don't go to this other side. So when I stopped worrying, when I started taking care of my mentality and my body, I stopped connecting with this pressure. So even though my career, and then it was super funny because I wasn't having a big, super, super hit in a while while because remember I've stopped working for like five six months I wasn't working I wasn't having like a big success in like a good one year maybe or something like

that and I was like feeling pressured about that but then I started taking care of myself and one day I was like at this place at this concert and i started like taking care and i and i actually i came here one day i did a lot of the protocols here with madison i did a lot of them and we went to a concert in brazil i i remember i kidnapped your daughter you kidnapped my daughter jumped on a private plane yeah went to brazil and then uh she did also uh another treatment with a ear with a ear the phone bioscan the bioscan and she said oh your mind you're thinking too much and this and that let's take care of that and she did that twice on me the next day we went to we landed in arizona she came back home and i went to do this concert when i woke up this day after she did this thing i was like i'm living wrong i'm too pressured i'm

like why am i thinking if i have a hit if i don't have a hit i had a number one it's like it's like and i went to remember i found out i was super sick when i went to everest yes i wanted a gold to everest to the top and then um i i couldn't even walk the himalayas because i was so tired like in four hours i was like and i needed a rescue people and I wasn't even in the ice. Because for those who've never been to the Everest, it's like this. You start walking in a cute forest in the Himalayas. In a cute forest. And then it becomes more like a desert vibe.

Rocks. And then it goes to the ice. And then the Everest. It's a whole path. I was still in the cute trees this is such a metaphor for life just walking yeah and they killed trees and i got so you're looking at the mountain and you're going the mountain wasn't even i couldn't even see it was still nine days for me to get to the mountain.

Oh my God. Nine days walking. Oh wow. And I was like, oh, this nine days walk is going to be great. And I couldn't even stand like four hours. And I was like, wow, I am so sick. And like nowadays I'm doing concerts of seven hours nonstop. Right.

You know? And then for me, and then when i was there i was thinking a lot about that like if you climb the everest and you get there to the top highest place in the world you cannot first of all you cannot get there without oxygen like naturally you cannot get there you need other equipments other stuff so it's not humanly alone like possible you need stuff when you get there you cannot stay more than 40 minutes that's it that's it you gotta get down and depending on the weather you stay there seven minutes you gotta get down right you gotta go down you to get to the top and be ready to go down.

Because people die when they're going down. They get to the top and then when it's time to go down, that's where they die sometimes. Wow. So you got to be ready for the whole journey. You got to get ready to go up. If you stop to help others, done. You're not going to be able to make it this time. You got to come back, wait for the next time.

Because if you stop to help someone, you're wasting your oxygen and your time to do it. So you're not going to reach the top if you help others. If you don't save energy and oxygen to go down, you're going to go up. People are going to know you went up, but you're gonna get go up people are gonna know you went up but you're gonna be dead so you gotta get ready for all these for all the parts of the process so if you put this as beside the success in life in your career it's the same yeah you can't go up but you gotta go down sometimes too you know there's no way you're

gonna keep there on the top every time forever healthy yeah alive happy you know top of the world exactly and maintaining this feeling of being happy because what what are you gonna do there for the rest of your life there on the top exactly Exactly. You know? And by the way, the higher you are and the closer to the peak or at the peak you are, the more isolated you are, right? And also your mind doesn't work that well because of the lack of oxygen. You know, and that's sort of one thing

that I've really gotten to admire about you is that I feel like there's almost this split personality because you have this very calm, very like almost like a homebody, like a shy girl that really doesn't crave the fame or the fortune or the limelight or the stage or the presence or all of the public eye. Like your preference is actually not that, you know, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're almost like the anti Anita

behind the scenes. Like, you know, and it's, it's, I'm so appreciative. Like I've seen you and Madison just lay around on the floor and talk about spirituality and, and, um, you know, and, and your astrological charts and, and you know you got my daughter taking all these weird trips all over she's like dad i gotta go to chicago on my birthday i'm like well what's that about like is there any scientific evidence behind this theory that because these nine planets said you need to be in chicago on your birthday she's like no that's what anita said to her no but i mean it's true because listen and then um so when i was there in everest i was like thinking about all of these things

and if you try to reach the top again it's not gonna be the same pleasure that you had when you reached the first time so true because you've already had this feeling of, oh, I went up. Wow. When you go again, it's like, oh, cool. I went twice. Then it's to tell people I went twice. I went three times, four times, five times. But it's to tell the others. Because the feeling, the sensation, it's not that amazing as when you were there for the first time. You got to go back and have have your life and then if you miss

going there then you're gonna have this pleasure but if you don't miss if you just keep going to tell people oh yeah i went to the top i'm at the top i'm at the top so if you think about your career like that it's the same are you keep you do you keep working that hard because you want to feel this pleasure or because of the others? Are they going to say I'm not hot anymore? So after she did this bio thing on me, I woke up the other day. I was like, I'm living wrong. I'm here asking myself, where's my next hit myself where's my next hit where's my next hit where's my success oh my god and actually I've had all of that I'm here just to enjoy all the

consequences and the things that I got from the success that I already had so I'm fine i don't need more success and then i had a concert to do that day and i was like i'm gonna have fun in this concert i don't care but i got there very like feeling pressured but when i woke up i was like actually i'm gonna have a good time i'm in arizona who who other who's the other brazilian singer who has the the the possibility the opportunity to be in arizona doing a concert for a non-brazilian audience like most international i'm the only one like look how hard i worked and i was like oh my god yes and then I went to the concert and I did this concert like whoa I was so happy yeah I was so happy that the song that I performed there went viral and then the song was in the global charts again wow on the top 20 again in the world you know it's such a great metaphor for life it was top 10 again

and then i the song i launched for brazil was top five i was like wow what am i you see yeah and then everything changed and all every time i come here and i do the all the protocols because this was right after i did it and i was i wasn't being here for a minute yeah and every time i do it it's a different thing like i came here last week i went to a concert in chile wow that went everything went perfectly yeah and i think it's everything aligned when you take care of the body and you have like healthy behaviors, everything goes well around. And some of what you're doing is, you know, I don't want people to think that it's like crazy fancy stuff. I mean, you're doing PMF mats. You're doing red light therapy.

You love the red light therapy. Love. She loves the hydrogen bath amazing she got out of that thing and she was like oh my god look at my skin and also the the new one that i tried that came out so many heavy metals for me yeah that was pretty wild sometimes when you get out of that you actually see the heavy metals on on on the, on the towel. And I know people are like, it's complete nonsense, but you're, I mean, you feel clean at a cellular level, right? I mean, and, and it's, um, it's a gas called ozone, O3 gas. And when it gets into the body, that, that third oxygen molecule just

goes after free radicals and oxidation. And it's, it's amazing how good we can feel when we tap into the natural state of the body, right? The natural state of the human body. And I, I met so many, um, you know, uh, famous entertainers that have been on a similar journey. You know, I, I actually had a Cedric Gervais on my podcast and I remember him telling me about, he, he, he won a Grammy the same day that his childhood, and I forget the other, might have been chain smokers, but his childhood mentors that he was like, oh, my God, I want to be them. I want to be them. I want to be them. And then he got into the music scene and won a Grammy the same day. And he talks about how he fell into almost this depression, like what you were talking about. He made it to the top of the mountain.

He got to the top of Everest and then he got back down and he was like, okay, well, what now? And there's not a higher peak. And, and a friend of his called him and said, um, cause none of his music was really catching on. The friend of his called him and said, Hey, what did you do to, to, to make, and I might be bastardizing this story a little bit. So friend of his called him and said, hey, what did you do to make, and I might be bastardizing this story a little bit, so Cedric, I'm sorry, but a friend of his called him and said, hey, what did you do to win the Grammy?

How did you make that music? He said, I just wanted to make music for my friends. And he goes, why don't you go back to just making music for your friends? You know, music that your friends want to play. And he did, bang, same thing, right back to the top of the charts and i think for people that are not entertainers or celebrities or athletes it's

such a metaphor for life right because who are we living for yeah we live and i think with internet with the cell phone we are kind of like polluting our minds believing in a fake life you know because in social media we only show what we want and we are looking too much of the others and we are like oh i want to do this oh no i want to be that now i want to be and you kind of don't even know what you alone want to do you know so yeah and it's crazy because every time i come here i and i do all of these things and i take care of myself i forget to be looking at the screen i forget to be looking at these things and i have a great time with with me and then I eat healthier. I don't feel like eating a bunch of unhealthy things.

It's so different because one thing that you do and changes all the rest of your mentality, your body, your health, and I feel that the more unhealthy I eat, the more unhealthy behaviors I have, my mental health goes bad together. Yes. And it's crazy how modern medicine thinks about the human body, because we think about this being completely separate from this, right? So we don't think that things that are going on in our body, poor diet, lack of nutrients, which I talk about all the time. I think that most people are nutrient deficient, which is what you were. You were not sick.

There was no disease or pathology aside from when you got the endometriosis fixed. But there wasn't disease. There wasn't pathology. There was nothing happening to you. There was something happening within you and when we addressed those deficiencies boom it's like the larissa became anita you know i mean it's like boom this whole woman emerged and you looked better your energy changed because also like is Energy changed. Because also, like, is that true? I've heard this, but that the stomach, it's like our second brain. No doubt.

Because what we eat is going to interfere in how our brain is working. Read Dr. Perlmutter's book, The Gut-Brain Connection, or The Grain Brain. And, you know, the majority of our neurotransmitters, and neurotransmitters form the basis of all mood are made in our gut. Think about serotonin, the main driver of mood and emotion. Dopamine, the main driver of behavior. These are manufactured in our gut. There's no dopamine tablet that you can take.

There's no serotonin capsule that you can take. But 90% of the serotonin in our bodies is right here. If you don't have it here, you can't have it here. So a lot of times our depression, our anxiety, our fears, and our mood doesn't come from the cluster of symptoms outside the body. It comes from right here. I mean, you are on relatively little intervention right now. Peptide for muscle and skin. Can I talk about that?

Yeah, yeah. Okay, good. I'm just throwing her medical record out there um but um you know a multivitamin i'm taking a bit a bit of testo because remember i had 0.2 so a little testosterone cream 0.2 when i was like i was like look out somebody's gonna need a safe word when you start using this no and i was doing concerts and that's what i feel like i had no testo but my mantle was so well that i was being able to hold yeah just by my mind state of like no let me keep going i gotta finish this you're in a great mood but you were exhausted and so you were deficient yeah and so dr sarda put you on some testosterone

cream and boom that came right back to, to, uh, two of those clicks in the morning. And, and, and this is what I mean, relatively subtle changes to support the body. Um, having these dramatic shifts, you know, I, I, I want to go back to something because I got a text message from, from Damon John, um, um, from Shark Tank the other day. And actually just two days ago, and I think it's very in line with what we're talking about. And we had this discussion because I was like, wow, man, it seems like the more my message gets out there,

the more hate and vitriol that I get. And I try to be so sincere and authentic about the message. And like you try to be sincere and authentic about your music. And he wrote me this, and I just want to get your thoughts on it. He said, and thank you, Damon. I didn't ask your permission to share this text message, but he said, you know, Gary, only a person who's been there can understand this, but I'm here if you ever need advice. If you haven't already gotten it, you're about six months away from strong vocal resentment from your friends, your family, and your staff.

There's gonna be theft by a trusted person and everyone with a $2,000 problem is gonna want it to be your problem. You're gonna get hit with fake lawsuits and a stressed relationship with your wife and get ready for the full media attack against you. It's all part of the rise, my friend. And, um, I've felt all of those things, you know, I've had close friends of mine turn and kind of, um, see this meteoric rise and not be excited for it, but actually be angry or maybe it's jealousy that

it happened. I've seen the media attacks and the character assassinations to the extent that you've experienced that. Because one of the things I really, really love about you is you always talk about your family, your brothers, your mom, your cousins, right before the podcast started, we asked each other, what would you do if you won the lottery? And I said, well, I'd probably call a few people and tell them to fuck off. But, and you said, I'd put all my family, my brothers, my cousins, and everybody on a plane and we'd travel the world and I'd take the people that I love the most. And I go have all these great experiences.

And it says a lot about you. With a shaman inside. With a shaman inside. Doing the spiritual healing. The Austin Powers plane with the rotating bed and all the funky colors. You'd have your shaman inside, right? And for those people that don't know what a shaman is what's a shaman it's like um it's a person who believes uh who follows the indigenous spiritual journeys uh they

they live their lives based on the indigenous thoughts and and lessons and everything. And they can do like spiritual healings, the equilibrium of the chakras. It's a lot of different spiritual things that I like to do. Does it keep you grounded at 39,000 feet? But to the extent that you've experienced anything that Damon was talking about in there, like talk a little bit about that side of the struggle, whether family, family friends the media

um you know is it hard for you to see some of the criticisms and not have it slow you down like how do you deal with it yes so i believe there's no good and bad people i believe there is a frequency and we can go to the low frequency and start doing like some heavy, dark things. But at the same time, we can breathe and take light in and go to the higher frequency and start having behaviors and thoughts that are like lighter and higher. And I don't believe there is like the evil man the good man i think we all have the two sides inside of us so i think sometimes a lot of things connect us to this low frequency and and some people when they get down there they're too concerned about what people think about us what the other have and we don't have what it would oh this person was in the same environment as me and this person got more and I didn't it's not fair I want this person

to fail you know and sometimes when the person sees you as something that she could be or he could be but he couldn't then this person start feeling frustrated and it's kind of like your your fault you know because you made it the person didn't you guys had the same opportunities i don't believe in same opportunities because i think every person come with comes with a different karma in the family, raised differently, and the racial thing also is a big problem. So I don't believe in the same opportunities. But for a person who is in the low frequency,

this person thinks that you guys had the same opportunities and you made it and I didn't. So why? Why is he so good? Because for this person to accept that you were just good, it's hard for this person. This person is going to feel down about it. It's like, oh, no. So he made it because he was this, he was this, he was that. Not because he's good.

I am good. He must have done something wrong. She must have done something wrong. She must have done something wrong. I think, and also when you get to a point that more people are seeing you, more people have opinions. Not only the bubble that you are used to. Sure do. Not only the people that have the same knowledge on the subject that you have knowledge so you're gonna have opinions from the most different people in this world that have different like experiences ways of thinking of cultures and you gotta understand that it's part of their journey you know and also talking about you makes because you're big make them a little bigger

sometimes in brazil there are a person that they they people that they want to have something to tell to say about me because if they say my name they're gonna become new somehow they're going to become new somehow. They're going to be in every site of news and Instagrams and these things. So it's important for them to have something to say. Or if there is something happening in this person's life and this person don't want people to talk about that, they're going to try to find something to talk about me so they can get the attention to that subject and not the subject that people were starting to talk about you know what i'm saying right so people use these strategies

a lot and at some point in my life in the beginning i was a little bit not doing exactly this because i would never like pointed people that in that way in that sense but maybe behind the scenes i would like be pointing and thinking like this and um at some point i was like no no wait wait wait i'm too immersed in this competition thing and this thing that for me to have she she cannot have, you know? Right. And then when I stopped, it doesn't kind of doesn't matter who has more success because you're feeling good, you know? Yeah.

And I know that the amount of things that you need to do to be at the top are not pleasing for me anymore. Right. So I don't want to do it so of course for somebody that is new and fresh to this industry and they are they are up to do it they are in the mood to be dealing with these things like for example you asked me oh you there are not people that you would say fuck you and i'm like thinking actually no because when you stop, because I think that's it. When you're new and beginning, you're fresh, you're hungry, you have the energy to be spent paying attention to those, swallowing some people down and be like, OK, I'm going to,

you know, but when you're not willing to deal with it anymore, because what is more important for you deal with all of this bullshit and be at the top or not dealing with the bullshit, but maybe not be at the top. Oh, definitely. Maybe not be at the top. Yeah. I feel the same way. You know, one of the greatest pieces of advice I was on a Jay Shetty podcast the other day, and he, he asked you these five questions at the end. And one of them is what's the greatest piece of advice you're ever given. And you can only answer in one word or one sentence. And I sat there for a long

time and I said, I think the greatest piece of advice I was ever given was that if you want to shrink your problems, grow your purpose. Because when the purpose is bigger than the problem, your problems shrink. And I was, I think you're saying basically the same thing, right? My purpose is not to please everybody. And my, my reason for being on this world and what drives me and brings me happiness and my, my core competencies are not making everybody happy. You know, it's doing what brings me joy and to the people that it brings joy to, I have this amazing connection to the people that it doesn't, that's their journey right and I agree and I think that's I mean it's it took me 53 years I'm 53 years old to get to that point where I could actually um commit to a purpose and not

worry about the the problems and I and I love how you're oriented not towards the peak of the mountain anymore but towards the peak of I think it's because I've not towards the peak of the mountain anymore, but towards the peak of the mountain. I think it's because I've been to the peak of the mountain. And in my country, it's like... Well, not really. You got stuck in the trees. You didn't even actually make it to the bottom of the mountain. But whatever.

For the purposes of this analogy. That's true. I think it's because i've been there and uh yeah maybe i mean not here in america but if um if maddie can tell you how was the experience when she went to brazil she could see how was it for me in my country it's like it's a big thing it's a big deal yeah and i've been there you're like the taylor swift of brazil no doubt it's a big deal. Yeah. And I've been there. You're like the Taylor Swift of Brazil, no doubt. It's a big thing. She's being very humble, guys. Like this woman is a monster all over the world.

But in Brazil, she's the Taylor Swift of Brazil. But in my country, it's like, you know, I don't even leave my house. And it's when you go there, you see all of these things that you were saying that your friend sent the message about. Like you start dealing with the best and the worst side of the human because all of them want what you want and what do you bring when you when you have that a bunch of people kissing your ass a bunch of people that are hanging out with you just thinking about what you can bring to their lives and then when you start dealing with that you start separating okay this person is to dance and have fun this person is to have a great talk about my life oh this person is to travel that person i cannot say my secrets so you start

understanding and it's not that i'm like pulling everybody away i'm just understanding that and maybe these people might change right maybe this person that was like very interested in what you have can go to a higher frequency and all of a sudden be like yo i'm so different now i don't care about you know yeah and the opposite you've outgrown them or maybe even grown into them exactly and some people know some people were so like worth of your trust and all of a sudden they are so worried about being big successful rich that they are doing things that are not right anymore for you guys if you've been watching the ultimate human podcast for any length of time you know

that one thing i do not do is push products I do not just let any advertiser into this space because I believe that the products that appear on the Ultimate Human Podcast should be things that I use every day in my life to improve my own physiology. One of them is something called the Echo Go Plus. The Echo Go Plus is a hydrogen water generator that you can take on the go. You essentially take the top off of this bottle, you pour bottled water in this, and repeatedly it will make high part per million hydrogen water. You press this little button, you'll see these bubbles going up in the water. That's hydrogen being created in the water. There are all kinds of peer-reviewed published clinical studies on the benefits of hydrogen water including

reduced inflammation better absorption of your supplements better absorption of your foods better balance of the stomach acid and it feeds an entire class of bacteria in your gut hydrogen water in my opinion is the most beneficial water that you can drink and now you can take it wherever you go you can go to echo e-c-h-o h2o.com that's echo e-c-h-o h2o.com enter the code ultimate 10 for a discount echo h2o enter the code ultimate 10 for a discount you know there's uh there's so many um you know, when we get into these podcasts and we talk about health and wellness and biohacking and everything, there's always that line that nobody wants to cross, but everybody wishes somebody else would cross it and talk about it, but nobody does. I always do. I want to cross that line. Right now, I'm like, and I feel so healthier.

For the record, my daughter and my wife are in the room. So people are like, that's so inappropriate for him to do that on a podcast. They're 10 feet away on the other side. I'm dying right now. Because like, you know, there's like wives that are like, okay, I hope my husband's about to tune in. And there's husbands that are like, I hope my husband's about to tune in. And there's husbands going, I hope my wife is about to tune in. Because you're so open with your relationships and your pleasures and your, you know, the intimacy behind the scenes. And I watched an Alex Earle podcast with you.

And it's not really ultimate human appropriate, but we're going to go there. And one of the things that you talked about was like, hey, guys are doing a lot of things to women that they actually don't really like. I mean, it is. So what are we doing? Like, what are we doing? I am not the type. I think everyone here is far. Everyone's here to take a shit. think everyone here's far everyone's here take a shit everyone's here have you know yeah and i think some people like to pretend they're oh no i don't and we do

everything but anyways um i'm a healthier person nowadays because i don't i'm not on birth control i feel way better yeah but at that time i was and then uh i was in a copper YUD, which I think it was also one thing that would make bad for me with this endometriosis thing because it makes you blood 50 times more. But anyways, I was with that for many, many, many years. Yeah. You know, my father is a salty old Navy captain and Captain John Brecka and a very simple guy. You know, he was carpenter, Navy captain, very, very regimented, very disciplined. His favorite restaurant is Cracker Barrel. And true story.

And then like when he wants a real treat, Outback Steakhouse. But he said to me, he gave me one of the best definitions of life that I've ever heard. And he just said it in passing to me one day. And he said, uh, life is what happens to you when you're on your way to doing something else. And it's so true, right? What you're talking about here, it's, it's sort of what happens to you when you're on your way to doing something else. And if you, and if you realize that, like all these little tipping points, um, you have a great life, but you know, and you don't really get to design it and pick your destination and then just march straight to that destination, you know? Um, and for you, what was, what was one of those something else's that took your life in

a different direction? I like you were on your way. Like, I love your story about, I was on my way to creating music and climbing the mountain, climbing the mountain, climbing the mountain. Then I realized once I got there and came back down, I'm good. Right. I mean, had there been any of those other tipping points in your life that have taught you like life lessons that you think have sort of changed the direction of of your life i think this unhealthy moment of me was the shift right you know when i got super unhealthy and i literally thought i was gonna die remember i was like i'm gonna die yeah i'm gonna die i'm gonna die i was like desperate and even i did a check for cancer i remember that yeah i did a check for

you're worried about everything and i was like oh my god and then i was like what do i want to do what do i want to do now oh my god i want to travel with my family i called my family i was like oh i'm dying i need to do this i need to do that and i saw how much time I wasted doing things, thinking about the goal, like, oh, I'm going to reach that. So I'm doing this for that result. And I wasn't even enjoying this moment here. So that means if I don't get the result, my life sucks. Yeah. Because I was doing everything looking at that point.

So if I don't get that. Living for a destination. Yeah. Not a journey. It's fucked up. And now I need to do things to make it work. And when I changed my mentality, literally, I can die tomorrow. If somebody comes here and say, you're dying tomorrow.

I'll be like, cool. I did everything. I'm fine. Yeah. It was great. Everything. Wow. I would not change.

I would just maybe look at the sky a little more but actually i do look at the sky every day so like i used to not care about these things and now if the moon is beautiful i called madison the other day and i was like i was walking my dog and the moon was so beautiful i was like i saw that the orange one that was out there it was low in the sky i remember that day i called I said, go look at the moon right now. And I spent so much time looking at the moon. I was like, wow, the moon is so beautiful. And I had a dinner that night and I got late because I was there for so long looking at the moon.

I started crying. I was like, wow, it's so beautiful. For no reason. It doesn't have to have a reason for you to get emotional for you to cry for you to get a healthy life you know and i think you know i actually remember that night because the moon was first of all it was bright bright orange it was totally full and it was way down on the horizon almost looked like a sunrise or sunset i i actually went and grabbed my son dylan from the other room like dylan get out of here and and and and see this i'm like look at that and he's like yeah that's that's cool and i'm like get excited about

that you don't see that very often then we actually walked out on the balcony he started taking pictures of it but i remember i remember that night and it's funny i was like breathing and like ah thank you i was like thank you you, thank you, thank you. For what? For everything. I think that changes everything. When you're actually being, when you're in that moment of being thankful, like what are you really grateful for in those? Like, can you see that? The first thing I think, and it's immediate, my family. Because I have such a great family. You talk about them all the time.

I love it. You're going to meet them. You met my mom. Yeah, I met your mom. So cute, so little. So cute. And she doesn't speak English. You're going to meet my dad, which is, he also doesn't speak English, but he tries to, he creates some words in his mind and he's been talking to you. It's Portuguese English. Yeah, no, no, no. It's crazy. And I just think my family is a blessing. They are a blessing because, for example, we I come from very humble, poor family life background and we all support each other. It doesn't matter. I see.

I was the poorest in the family. And from from us, me, my mom and my my brother it was the last special house we had just one bedroom that was it in the kitchen in the bathroom and um there was no living room in my house and they would all come and sit down in the bedroom and happy birthday i remember this birthday I had that they came with a cake and they were all very supportive. At one time I was, before being a singer, I was, I found this job at a store. I was like selling clothes and in Brazil you sell, it was a humble, popular store and I needed to sell more clothes to get more money and they all saved some money to go to the store and buy with me oh my gosh that's so awesome they are so cute and they all

got one day reserved one saturday oh this saturday we're gonna go there they got there they said we want to buy with larissa and they all we're gonna buy with larissa they're so like her sales went through the roof all of a sudden listen they are so cute and when um when i was a kid they would all prepare my birthdays like that even though i didn't have a house we would do the party at my auntie's house or my uncle's house. And they would like cut the, the, the, like the little images, pictures, drawings to put on the wall for me with my name. They would do themselves. And isn't it amazing when you're in that position, like that was, those are still great memories for you and such great moments, maybe even some of the best ones. The best.

And as success has come, you actually look back on those memories. I find the same thing, too. When I stopped focusing on being wealthy and I started focusing on people's well-being, that's when the wealth came. But then I just go back to still the greatest times are when i'm with my family like when i'm just so i want i want more of those times like you know traveling with my kids they're like a traveling comedy show um you know i'm very i'm close to my ex-wife she she gets along with my current wife like it's just so good when the family is super good part of your life and for me it's like i used to be saving money to be

richer richer saving money richer and now i'm like travel bring all my family here let me do my birthday party bring them let's get the let's stay together let's get a plane to costa rica let's get everybody together let go. I think that's my energy nowadays to just enjoy. Oh, if I don't have money tomorrow, I don't even know if I'm going to be alive tomorrow. Yeah. Imagine if I'm going to, because that's what I think. Like the richer men in the world, if tomorrow he decides, okay, I'm not going to focus my time on being the richest man in the world I'm just going to enjoy life

in five years he's not going to be the richest man in the world anymore somebody else is going to be the richest because he's not focused on that anymore he's like focused on enjoying life is that going to delete the fact that he was the richest? no is that going to make him poor?

no he's going to be able to enjoy the same things but people are so worried about the status the society what they're gonna think because oh if i'm not the richest anymore i'm gonna be i'm gonna fail because that person has passed me you know and i think that's the mentality for so many things that we forget to live life imagine when we die I believe there's something after. When we die, like, is God going to look at our account? He's not going to look, you know, not him. I don't believe, guys, that God is a man. But is anybody going to look at our bank account in the sky?

Do we pay for it? No, we don't. For a spot in the sky? We don't. but no we don't yeah for a spot in the sky we don't i'd like to put my reservation down now please that's what i think because listen for me my purpose now in life is to be happy even if i get poor even if i don't have any success even if my songs don't hit number one even if anything works well anymore in my life, I want to still be happy. Yeah. You know, a pastor said to me one time, prayer is about giving thanks for what you have, not asking for what you don't.

And I hadn't thought about that phrase in years. I had an amazing pastor. He actually was a pastor at my first wedding, Pastor Ed. He was like an Army Special Forces guy and a football coach, and he became a pastor. And at that time in my life, he was very influential. And I remember that he said that. Prayer is really not about—it, it's, it's, it's about being thankful for what you have and not asking for what you don't. And for 20 years,

I used to pray for all the things that I didn't have. Right. And, and now when I do my breath work in the mornings and I try to connect with God and, you know, I have a direct relationship with Jesus, I, I, I want him to know that I'm very thankful for what I have. And I always feel so good when I'm done. I feel so good. Right. With that, with this, the moon that day, I was doing that. I was just thinking, and I was like, Oh, I didn't ask for anything. And I was like, what should I ask for? And I was like, yeah, I'm fine. It's not like a wishlist, you know, it's not like, oh, I didn't ask for anything. And I was like, what should I ask for? And I was like, yeah, I'm fine. Prayer's not like a wishlist, you know, it's not like, it's not like your Christmas card, you know, with your, you know, like you turn over to your parents.

Here's, here's what I'd like from Santa. You know, it's not, it's not like the Santa wishlist. And, and I think when you, when you pray to just say thank you, even though you might not even feel like you're thanking someone who's receptive, I think the act of being content enough to pause and say thank you and then I'm truly grateful gives you a sense of calm and well-being. And that attracts good things too, I think. things too yeah i mean you're a big believer in the universal law of attraction i know that um right and you know i wasn't until you know years ago i was i was actually reading a physics journal and there's a law in physics called constructive interference it says if two frequencies of equal wavelength meet the size the

frequency doubles and to me i thought about you know the frequency doubles. And to me, I thought about, you know, the frequency that we put out there, love, um, authenticity and how the more authentic and the more loving you are, the more you attract love and authenticity. And, and, and I remember when I, um, when I sold, uh, my company, one of my partners, Grant Cardone, is a real estate billionaire. He said to me, your circle's about to get a whole lot smaller. And I was like, hmm, I wonder what he meant by that. And your story is very similar because your circle is like your family. And you always talk about your brothers, your cousins, your mom, your dad.

And I love that. I brought my brother here too. You did? I did. Where is he? No, not today, but he went here to the other apartment. your mom your dad and i love that i brought my brother here too you did i did where is he it's not mad no not today but he went he went here to the other apartment we got to bring him here to do some biohacking he will love because he had a surgery on his knee okay and uh and it's crazy

exactly he he it's crazy too because i told madison when he had the injury on his knee and everyone told him that, oh, you're never going to be able to play again. Cause he loves playing football, foot volley. And he was like, oh, I'm desperate. Cause he, he broke something. Did I, I told you, right? What he tore his muscus or something? ACL.

Oh yeah. That's a common one. Yeah. And then it was very, yeah, it was very hard for him to accept that. Because he's an athlete. No, he's not an athlete, but he loves. He's very active. He loves.

And he was super sad because he was like, Oh, I love doing my exercises, my games, da-da-da. And we worked together. And it's crazy because he did the surgery and he was so disciplined with the food, the exercises, the physiotherapy, everything he needed to do. Every morning he would do the practice.

He would do the exercises. Now he's running and it's been like two months. Wow. Or something like that. He's running again. He's running. Oh or something like that. He's running again. He's running. He's doing everything. And people are like, wow, you just had a surgery and in two months you're running?

Because he was so disciplined. And sometimes if we believe that we're going to make it, if we want it, and we do it with no anxiety, but we do like focused respecting the time discipline you get i also think that sometimes when something's taken from you and then you get it back you're so much more appreciative like every time i lose my wallet i'm so happy to get my wallet back and like i haven't gained anything it's the same cash the same driver's license but i'm like i'm so happy to have this back yeah but you know so you have an injury like that and then you have your you have your health taken away from you and then you're like okay i got it back now i'm gonna start to take it serious

and i think unfortunately a lot of people don't even start their health journey until something like that happens i mean it happened to you right you were on your way to doing something else and then your health made itself your priority blew you up like a balloon made you depressed you know and you're like yeah and to do to be honest i i'm so thankful that i got so sick because i never stopped to think about my mental health with the importance that it has until i got super sick because when i got super sick i realized when I got super sick, I realized how unhappy I was, how depressed I was. And it's true.

Now I look at some behaviors and I was like, wow, I was so depressed. Yeah. I was so bad. We talk about like, I talk about this invisible fence around us where we filter things before they get to the temple, right? Because you can either let your temple be the filter or you can filter things before it comes to the temple, right? Because you can either let your temple be the filter or you can filter things before it comes to the temple. And like you, you, you're, you're like so giddy, childish, like with your, your interest in your fascination, like this, this intellectual curiosity you have

about biohacking, which I, I love that you have that. Um, what are some of your like favorite little biohacks that, that you're using using we know about the pmf map like what are some other ones i think um the red light makes me when when we combine the mat with the oxygen with the red light i feel i feel new yeah because the superhuman remember that time that i what my period wasn't coming for months i was like yo this is back when i was in downtown yeah and then i did the superhuman my period came that same night magnetism oxygen light everything that we get from mother nature and i tell people look you don't even need to have you don't need to spend five grand on a PMF mat, a hundred grand on a red light bed and five grand on a hypermax oxygen.

If you have that money, definitely buy that before you buy a Range Rover. A hundred percent. Your Range Rover will do absolutely nothing for you. But if you don't, touch the surface of the earth, expose your skin to sunlight, learn how to do breath work. Those three things.

And if you really want to jack it up, add a cold shower. You don't even need to buy a cold punch. Bang, turns things around. So, I guess the next, you know, question that I have is sort of shifting away from the biohacking is what's, what's next for Anita? Just before I answer this question the bio thing oh bio resonance yeah that was great my mind shifts after that and and how incredible is it what that machine can tell you about yourself amazing it is it's like oh you have this virus oh you have a uh a cavitation in this 11th molar um you have a and my mantle was so good it was like i woke up the next day it was like wow it was this clarity of life yeah it was perfect you know what it is it's frequency right because you know this goes back to this constructive destructive interference thing

two frequencies of equal wavelength meet the size of the frequency doubles. Two frequencies of opposite wavelength meet, they cancel out. So why can't we use frequency to tune in the body, right? My life changed. After that, I literally, and we did twice, right? Twice only. And I woke up like, oh, I'm living wrong. Wait, let me live right now.

This is so great. This is so amazing. So what is next for me? What's next for you? I have no idea. And I don't care that much. I'm so relaxed because for me. You really are, by the way.

I mean, very relaxed. You are a completely different human than the one i met a few years ago really and it's been so amazing to be a part of this journey i know it's crazy i'm about to turn 31 this month march and um it's so funny because everybody's asking what is next what is next i mean i have an album coming that i'm super excited i did this album uh this album that i'm releasing now um i wrote when i was in the hospital because i was like you know what i think i'm gonna die i'm just gonna do an album that if i die i don't care it's just something i love and uh because usually as singers we are pushed and pressured by everyone not a label thing it's everyone even ourselves to be successful to be in the charts to be top one top ten a hit

whatever and as I was gonna die in my mind I didn't care I didn't need to care about these things yeah of the world because i was gonna die the album would be here it would be like oh it was great to do this album i loved it doesn't matter what happens after and i did this album with with this energy and i love it so much yeah and i'm gonna put out and i'm alive and it's great but i don't know so it's already recorded it is i recorded um when i was in the hospital i was doing like ozone every um day in my blood wow every day so good and then i was like you know what i instead of going to the hospital because i was in the hospital for one month and then i was coming back every day and i was like you know what instead of coming back every day. And I was like, you know what? Instead of coming back every day, I'm just going to rent a house.

Put everybody there. My family again. Everybody. And the studio. So I was recording the songs and getting the treatments done. So it was great. And then the album is ready. And I'm going to put out.

But that's not what's coming next. This is coming. This is professional. You're single. you got an album most of us have a very difficult time meeting our protein needs and certain protein sources like whey protein and others can be as little as 20 absorbable this is 99 absorbable and it has all of the essential amino acids that the body needs to build lean muscle to recover to improve our exercise performance and most importantly to repair after we have intense exercise so this is

called perfect amino by body health it's like i said 99 absorbable it only has two calories eventually the caloric intake has virtually no caloric intake it will not break a fast it tastes amazing you mix it in water i take this literally every single morning if you're working out in a fasted state you have to take a full spectrum amino acid prior to your workout to preserve your lean muscle and make sure that you're recovering properly and again it will not break your fast so the caloric impact is virtually zero you get all of the full spectrum amino acids it tastes wonderful i use it every single day you can go to bodyhealth.com forward slash ultimate

that's bodyhealth.com forward slash ultimate and look for the perfect aminos they actually come in capsules if you're on the go or it becomes in several flavors that they make in a powder which I love it's flavored with natural means of flavoring so there's no artificial sweeteners in here so this is one of my absolute favorite products give it a try if you're working out at all you need a full spectrum amino acid go to bodyhealth.com forward slash ultimate that's bodyhealth.com forward slash ultimate I love their lab tested products you can actually see the absorption rate for all of their products they've got great electrolyte protein combinations my favorite is the perfect aminos bodyhealth.com forward slash ultimate and now back to the ultimate human podcast uh well i have this coming but this is like work stuff. And that's not my number one concern.

I don't even have a concern. So I don't know what's going to happen. I might, maybe I can release and be like, I don't want to travel the world. Or I can just be like, no, actually, I want to do a tour. Oh, no, actually, I want to do a movie. It doesn't, I don't know. What about personally? Like that's all professionally. Yeah yeah that's what i'm saying because what what comes next it's crazy

because people ask that and and we always talk about work and that's why i'm like i don't know because what if um i find the love of my life and i want to have a baby and then i'm like okay that's it you know like we don't know we don't know so i'm so like um i used to be very unpredictable or unpredictable that's it that you say yeah it's unexpected i used to just do things like now i want to do this and you just spontaneous yeah very i was always like that creating chaos at some point in my life i was so pressured about oh the success is she gonna maintain this that i forgot that all the things that i got was because i was like no oh i liked because here's how my international career started a song of mine in portuguese was popping in spain they asked a radio asked me to go there to a festival i said i don't know spain let's go

i went to spain and then there i didn't know how to communicate with anybody because i didn't speak spanish that was like seven to eight years ago it was no actually 10 years ago and then i didn't speak uh spanish and i was like jesus i don't understand anything people are saying and i was so mad that when i landed in brazil i called a spanish school and i said i need to learn really that's how i learned spanish really and then i started to learn spanish i was like i like this because it's easier to learn if you listen to music so i was listening to spanish music i was like i like it i want to do this type of music and then i started to sing in spanish because of that and it was not like oh i want to be international no i was like

cool rhythm let me do it and then i was like in this latin thing singing and i came to this awards here in miami i was like it was my first time here i was like so this latin thing singing and i came to this awards here in miami i was like it was my first time here i was like so cool i want to sing in english and that was it you know it was not that and i have this thing sometimes i i'm in the club and i meet somebody i get into this person's car let's go let's go out it's so spontaneous and cool at the same time so i was going to this trip yeah and i didn't have company i saw a random person at the party i said do you want to come with me the person said i don't have money i said i have so we went to the trip so when i got there hours later not hours but maybe one day after i was like this person is so annoying why did i do this so i was at the street at the city and i was at the city and then this group of fans came to ask

for a picture and i said to them and they were so fun and i said yo what are you guys doing here and i went on vacations until when and they going to stay until the whole period that I was staying. I said, do you guys have an extra room in your house? No. No. And you literally went to stay with these fans? Dude, I love it. I went to stay with the fans.

And it's crazy because they said, yeah, there is one bedroom that is like two bed. And this guy is there, but the other bed is empty. I said, I'm fine. I'm staying with him. I went. I stay with this other bed. Was he attractive?

He was there. And then it was so much fun. I stayed there And she was like For the person I found some person To this other person To sleep with I said you should hook up with this person And the person told me

But where are you going to sleep I said I'm going to figure out Guys do you have an extra bedroom And then I stayed there at the house They became big big friends of mine. Really? They helped me with other stuff that I needed help once. And it was crazy.

That is such a metaphor for life. It's what happens to you when you're doing, you're on your way to doing something else. Spontaneous. Because then I went to do a concert and my private jet couldn't leave anymore because of the rain. That specific airport couldn't leave. And then we didn't, I had the most important concert of Carnival. And I wouldn't be able to get there because my airplane couldn't go to the next airport. Oh boy.

This guy from this house lent me his airplane. Lent you his airplane? His airplane. Why? Because yours wasn't big enough or something? Huh? How could his airplane take off and not yours? No, because his airplane was in another place and could land in the airplane like two hours from there.

Ah. And mine couldn't leave. Ah. was a city like you went to his airplane let's suppose it's here and tamp or naples right it's a car you drive two hours you get this plane that can land in naples but here in miami airport is it's rainy ah you know what i'm saying you drove to his airplane and went oh my gosh what now is that incredible so much i was gonna lose everything yeah because it's crazy it's so so in some ways like that annoying friend was a positive because if you're having a group no that's what i'm saying that's so cool because you probably would have stayed with her if you were having a great time. Everything's positive. If my daughter went on that trip, you would have missed your most important concert in Carnival.

Everything. Madison could have cost you millions. Listen, everything is positive in the end of the day. Isn't that so awesome? Yeah. Everything's positive. That is so, oh my God, Anita, you've been amazing. I feel like we could talk for hours and hours and hours.

I thought we were going to talk a lot more about sex but we'll we'll have to come back on another podcast well you should bring uh treatments here for the uh intimate life well i mean i just i i know you throw so many good nuggets out there for people like what what are like what are three things guys are doing in the bedroom that we should not be doing? Let me think. Like? Wait, because it's been a minute that I'm dealing with some very spiritual moment right now. Okay, so let's.

Let me remember. There are three things when they get too, um, anxiety and then they go, desperate it too, too much touching. No, moving too fast. I hate when they move too fast. It's like a rabbit. I hate the rabbit, uh, moves. You like the, you like the, um, tortoise. My dad is so fun. There was this one time. Um, he went to my house and I said to dad, I'm with this guy and I like him, but it's not good. And then he sat down with the guy and gave him all that. said come here let's have a talk he sat down and literally taught the guy every single thing he should do it was so funny and then he came to me and said the list of things that he told the guy to do the guy followed zero the guy followed

zero i can't imagine talking to my daughter's boyfriend And being like hey bro Actually just even the thought of it Is making me angry So I'm going to get that out of my mind Margaret that you're naked on a cold day It's out of my mind My dad was like when you're eating you do this You do that

Specific And the guy followed zero of the instructions I got so mad. When a chick's dad is like, hey, bro, this is what you need to do. You follow it. My dad did it. I was like, yeah, my dad is great. I was telling my dad.

I'm going to have your dad on the podcast to give us some. My dad is. Like Dr. Ruth. He's so much fun. I think that, and I think be talking to him, be asking, I hate the questions. Do you like it? Do you like it? You feel it.

You like it. Am I going to stop and say, no, actually let's stop now. I don't. Yeah. Those are pretty open-ended questions. You like it. Do you feel it? Yeah.

Right. You should have some equipment here for just coming from a guy. It's actually a statement where like, you like it questions you like it you feel it yeah right you should have some it's actually equipments here for just just coming from a guy it's actually a statement we're like you like it that's like it's not actually we're not actually asking no but i'm now i'm giving you advice like we're not actually asking you a question we're telling you that you like it that's like just as freaky as that sounds we We're like, you like it. No, no, no, no. Maybe that's you. No, no, no, no. They're asking.

They're expecting an answer. It makes us feel better. We're like, ooh, you like it. They expect an answer. Okay. You should give like advice on like the best condoms. The best. You should have like equipment here for this.

Okay. Because you always have like the best water, the best everything. Yeah like equipments here for this okay because you always have like the best water the best everything yeah i haven't gone down i haven't gone down the intimacy route that's why i've got you here you should go you should get there you should get the equipments and the products for us to know like what's the best the best lubricant the best you know yeah yeah the best condoms the best lubricant the most for the ph yeah so we know exactly what's the good ones to not dysregulate our ph that's great advices we want to know all right the lubricant the condoms don't don't go too fast stop with the questions even if we think they're a statement guys they're interpreting it as a question so

That's a new one for me. Oh, my God, my dad is the best. That's a new one for me. Okay, let me think. You said one time not doing this. I hate that.

Yeah, I hate that. That's really bad. I'm trying to think of new ones. Okay, I won't think of new ones. Like an ice cream cone, not like you're nibbling through a steak. Oh, my God. When they're too drunk It's so bad

Heavy breathing Lots of laying on you Heavy breathing and also the stinking breathing Of like alcohol It smells like tequila It's not you know Brush your teeth It's pretty simple

I also don't feel like I don't like when it feels like you are in a training At the gym. Yeah. Yeah. Positions. You like stick to one. Wow.

You're not stick to one, but like we're not here trying to do a performance for the Olympics. Yeah. You know? It's too much, I think. All right. Yeah. You know? It's too much, I think. All right. So too many positions, too fast, and stop it with the questions. All right.

That is great advice. But you should bring equipments for us. Yeah, I am. And I am going to stock up on condoms, lubricants. I'm going to go deep down the rabbit hole of the most sensitive condoms, the best lubricants, maybe even the best toys. The vitamins and things that you can take to make you. Oh, yeah.

Like PT-141. Because there is one thing. There is one thing that every. Oxytocin, Tadalaville. There is one thing that all the pregnant women say. After they have babies, they don't feel like having sex anymore. You never heard of that? Well, i'm sure there's like a you know a period every woman tells me that after they have babies they're like

i mean i think you shoot a watermelon out of a bb gun and you know there's going to be a period that you know no but like a year later oh they still feel like i i don't want it i don't feel like all right i'm gonna biohack this one this one. Every friend of mine says that. This is going on my list. I don't know if it's a hormone thing. I don't know what it is, but they always said, all my friends that had babies, they're like, yeah, after we have babies, we're like, I'm done with this.

I don't want to have sex. You know what? That's a great one. And I get accused a lot of doing too much for men. So I'm actually purposely trying to do more for women. So I'm going to get our OBGYN,n and i'm gonna get a sex therapist on and we're gonna figure out the fastest way postpartum to return to an active sex life that all the women will love we're gonna break the internet with that one all the women will love that because that's one thing after

they have babies that's i mean i never had a, but all my friends that had, they say that they go. Even a year. They feel bad. They don't feel like having sex. It's super crazy. Okay. Well, we're going to do it. I'll be watching when I have my.

Maybe I'll have you back on when I have the therapist and the OBGYN. Loved it. Nina, you are absolutely amazing. I mean, this podcast is going to break the internet um uh you know i ask every guest the same question at the end of the podcast um there's no right or wrong answer um to this but i ask every guest what it means to them to be an ultimate human what does it mean to you to be an ultimate i think to be an ultimate human is to align your actions with your mind and your state of like how

you're feeling then you are an ultimate human because when you're aligned like everyone everything is on the same point you know like we're on the same page i think that's it because sometimes we feel like we want something but our behavior and our actions are doing the opposite wow so good nita thank you so much for your time today this has been amazing i loved it too and as always guys that's just science
