Is Cold the New Viagra How Cold Exposure Can Help Improve Erection Quality
00:00[Music] hi my name is James Andrea and you're hi my name is James Andrea and you're listening to The Back To Human podcast listening to The Back To Human podcast listening to The Back To Human podcast on today's episode we have our second on today's episode we have our second on today's episode we have our second returning guest and someone that I am returning guest and someone that I am returning guest and someone that I am always excited to talk to on the show always excited to talk to on the show always excited to talk to on the show with me today I have Tom Seeger Tom is with me today I have Tom Seeger Tom is with me today I have Tom Seeger Tom is an associate professor in school of an associate professor in school of an associate professor in school of sustainable Engineering in the built sustainable Engineering in the built sustainable Engineering in the built environment at Arizona State University environment at Arizona State University environment at Arizona State University he's also the chief science officer of he's also the chief science officer of he's also the chief science officer of Morosco Forge which is a company that Morosco Forge which is a company that Morosco Forge which is a company that crafts a beautiful self-cleaning cold crafts a beautiful self-cleaning cold crafts a beautiful self-cleaning cold plunge tub that is capable of producing plunge tub that is capable of producing plunge tub that is capable of producing its own ice I did a previous episode its own ice I did a previous episode its own ice I did a previous episode with Tom discussing the benefits of cold with Tom discussing the benefits of cold with Tom discussing the benefits of cold exposure and today we will be talking exposure and today we will be talking exposure and today we will be talking about the cold again more specifically about the cold again more specifically about the cold again more specifically we will be discussing a subject that may we will be discussing a subject that may we will be discussing a subject that may be considered a little bit taboo but be considered a little bit taboo but be considered a little bit taboo but it's very important and probably not it's very important and probably not it's very important and probably not talk about enough talk about enough talk about enough this one is for the male audience this this one is for the male audience this this one is for the male audience this is a male Health a male sexual health is a male Health a male sexual health is a male Health a male sexual health episode and we are going to be talking episode and we are going to be talking episode and we are going to be talking about about about erections erections erections boners and can cold exposure potentially
01:00boners and can cold exposure potentially boners and can cold exposure potentially help with erection quality and almost help with erection quality and almost help with erection quality and almost act as a natural Viagra without further act as a natural Viagra without further act as a natural Viagra without further Ado Tom welcome back to the show brother Ado Tom welcome back to the show brother Ado Tom welcome back to the show brother thanks for having me on James thanks for having me on James thanks for having me on James um it's kind of a touchy topic if I um it's kind of a touchy topic if I um it's kind of a touchy topic if I blush a little bit it's because seventh blush a little bit it's because seventh blush a little bit it's because seventh grade health class was a long time ago grade health class was a long time ago grade health class was a long time ago and we didn't cover any of this and we didn't cover any of this and we didn't cover any of this information with Mr salipo you know uh information with Mr salipo you know uh information with Mr salipo you know uh this is not the kind of context that an this is not the kind of context that an this is not the kind of context that an engineering Professor usually shows up engineering Professor usually shows up engineering Professor usually shows up and um and starts to write about but the and um and starts to write about but the and um and starts to write about but the more I went into female reproductive more I went into female reproductive more I went into female reproductive health and the cold we've got a couple health and the cold we've got a couple health and the cold we've got a couple of good articles on pregnancy for of good articles on pregnancy for of good articles on pregnancy for example the more I realized I was example the more I realized I was example the more I realized I was leaving my own gender behind leaving my own gender behind leaving my own gender behind so I Gotta Give Ben Greenfield a lot of so I Gotta Give Ben Greenfield a lot of so I Gotta Give Ben Greenfield a lot of credit he has been one of the most credit he has been one of the most credit he has been one of the most important important important um advocates for cold exposure and for um advocates for cold exposure and for um advocates for cold exposure and for marozco forage and he's not bashful marozco forage and he's not bashful marozco forage and he's not bashful about this at all like he's written about this at all like he's written about this at all like he's written these articles Men's Health he's been on
02:00these articles Men's Health he's been on these articles Men's Health he's been on the Joe Rogan show all the different the Joe Rogan show all the different the Joe Rogan show all the different things that he's done with his genitalia things that he's done with his genitalia things that he's done with his genitalia he's done red light on his testicles he's done red light on his testicles he's done red light on his testicles he's done some kind of a sound wave he's done some kind of a sound wave he's done some kind of a sound wave therapy thing I think I read that he put therapy thing I think I read that he put therapy thing I think I read that he put electrodes on there he injected stem electrodes on there he injected stem electrodes on there he injected stem cells into his penis and went on the cells into his penis and went on the cells into his penis and went on the Rogan show to talk about it and I'm Rogan show to talk about it and I'm Rogan show to talk about it and I'm thinking if Ben Greenfield can do this thinking if Ben Greenfield can do this thinking if Ben Greenfield can do this and I can at least I should write an and I can at least I should write an and I can at least I should write an article about metabolism and erectile article about metabolism and erectile article about metabolism and erectile dysfunction and I should kind of get dysfunction and I should kind of get dysfunction and I should kind of get over myself and help people have this over myself and help people have this over myself and help people have this conversation so I put a tweet out on uh conversation so I put a tweet out on uh conversation so I put a tweet out on uh you know somebody was making a joke you know somebody was making a joke you know somebody was making a joke about shrinkage it's always it's such an about shrinkage it's always it's such an about shrinkage it's always it's such an easy joke to make ever since the easy joke to make ever since the easy joke to make ever since the Seinfeld episode from years ago you get Seinfeld episode from years ago you get Seinfeld episode from years ago you get in the cold water the male genitalia in the cold water the male genitalia in the cold water the male genitalia they like suck up into the body and um they like suck up into the body and um they like suck up into the body and um we're all gonna laugh about it and so I we're all gonna laugh about it and so I we're all gonna laugh about it and so I put this tweet on there and I'm like put this tweet on there and I'm like put this tweet on there and I'm like well you know that's not the only only well you know that's not the only only well you know that's not the only only possible outcome in the ice bath for possible outcome in the ice bath for possible outcome in the ice bath for your deck and Greenfield he put like a
03:00your deck and Greenfield he put like a your deck and Greenfield he put like a little like on that he doesn't pay any little like on that he doesn't pay any little like on that he doesn't pay any attention to what I tweet but he noticed attention to what I tweet but he noticed attention to what I tweet but he noticed that one and he's like you're on to that one and he's like you're on to that one and he's like you're on to something Tom and I thought something Tom and I thought something Tom and I thought um yeah I gotta tell guys you can get a um yeah I gotta tell guys you can get a um yeah I gotta tell guys you can get a hard on in the ice bath the ice bath is hard on in the ice bath the ice bath is hard on in the ice bath the ice bath is not hurting your sexual health it is not hurting your sexual health it is not hurting your sexual health it is like one of the best things you can do like one of the best things you can do like one of the best things you can do for your sexual health so if anybody's for your sexual health so if anybody's for your sexual health so if anybody's worried about shrinkage and the jokes worried about shrinkage and the jokes worried about shrinkage and the jokes and those kinds of like they're and those kinds of like they're and those kinds of like they're self-conscious about that it's time to self-conscious about that it's time to self-conscious about that it's time to get over that get into the dang ice bath get over that get into the dang ice bath get over that get into the dang ice bath because customers keep writing to me and because customers keep writing to me and because customers keep writing to me and telling me it's making a difference so telling me it's making a difference so telling me it's making a difference so these are guys I mean mostly my age not these are guys I mean mostly my age not these are guys I mean mostly my age not so much guys in their 20s or 30s but you so much guys in their 20s or 30s but you so much guys in their 20s or 30s but you know they'll be a little shy and they'll know they'll be a little shy and they'll know they'll be a little shy and they'll brighten they'll say God Professor brighten they'll say God Professor brighten they'll say God Professor seeker can I ask you a question I'm like seeker can I ask you a question I'm like seeker can I ask you a question I'm like fire away you know that's what I'm here fire away you know that's what I'm here fire away you know that's what I'm here for and I go for and I go for and I go I'm just having these incredible I'm just having these incredible I'm just having these incredible nighttime erections like it's waking me nighttime erections like it's waking me nighttime erections like it's waking me up in the middle of my sleep now I just up in the middle of my sleep now I just up in the middle of my sleep now I just want to know is that normal want to know is that normal
04:00want to know is that normal and I have to say yup yes there's and I have to say yup yes there's and I have to say yup yes there's nothing wrong there's nothing this is nothing wrong there's nothing this is nothing wrong there's nothing this is this is the ice bath going right and I this is the ice bath going right and I this is the ice bath going right and I had to get into all the mechanisms about had to get into all the mechanisms about had to get into all the mechanisms about why does that happen it's fairly why does that happen it's fairly why does that happen it's fairly complicated uh that's the article but I complicated uh that's the article but I complicated uh that's the article but I appreciate having you here so we can appreciate having you here so we can appreciate having you here so we can talk about it and maybe I can get better talk about it and maybe I can get better talk about it and maybe I can get better at explaining it yeah we definitely need at explaining it yeah we definitely need at explaining it yeah we definitely need a safe space to be able to talk about a safe space to be able to talk about a safe space to be able to talk about this stuff because as you mentioned this stuff because as you mentioned this stuff because as you mentioned prior to the show like women talk about prior to the show like women talk about prior to the show like women talk about this stuff much more than men do like we this stuff much more than men do like we this stuff much more than men do like we tend to shy away from it there's a lot tend to shy away from it there's a lot tend to shy away from it there's a lot of embarrassment I guess that can come of embarrassment I guess that can come of embarrassment I guess that can come up there it's like we want to be good up there it's like we want to be good up there it's like we want to be good performers and the only way to really performers and the only way to really performers and the only way to really fix something is to bring it to light fix something is to bring it to light fix something is to bring it to light and actually talk about this stuff if and actually talk about this stuff if and actually talk about this stuff if you don't know that there's other things you don't know that there's other things you don't know that there's other things out there that could potentially help out there that could potentially help out there that could potentially help you then you're kind of just suffering you then you're kind of just suffering you then you're kind of just suffering on your own when you don't really need on your own when you don't really need on your own when you don't really need to you got it yeah so you just released to you got it yeah so you just released to you got it yeah so you just released the men's health article on your on your the men's health article on your on your the men's health article on your on your blog which I will link to in the show blog which I will link to in the show blog which I will link to in the show notes and in it you state that the blood notes and in it you state that the blood notes and in it you state that the blood flow throughout the body including the flow throughout the body including the flow throughout the body including the penis is controlled by smooth muscle
05:00penis is controlled by smooth muscle penis is controlled by smooth muscle cells and when these muscle cells are cells and when these muscle cells are cells and when these muscle cells are tense or vasoconstrictive this shuts off tense or vasoconstrictive this shuts off tense or vasoconstrictive this shuts off blood flow to the penis when they relax blood flow to the penis when they relax blood flow to the penis when they relax lots of dilation this increases the lots of dilation this increases the lots of dilation this increases the blood flow which increases nitric oxide blood flow which increases nitric oxide blood flow which increases nitric oxide and it would be confusing if people are and it would be confusing if people are and it would be confusing if people are really worried about this shrinkage really worried about this shrinkage really worried about this shrinkage effect by going into the cold water like effect by going into the cold water like effect by going into the cold water like that's that's temporary you're going to that's that's temporary you're going to that's that's temporary you're going to get back to normal afterwards it's not get back to normal afterwards it's not get back to normal afterwards it's not going to be a permanent effect but how going to be a permanent effect but how going to be a permanent effect but how what have you seen afterwards because what have you seen afterwards because what have you seen afterwards because you are going to get that you are going to get that you are going to get that vasoconstrictive effect in the cold vasoconstrictive effect in the cold vasoconstrictive effect in the cold plunge but afterwards I guess how how plunge but afterwards I guess how how plunge but afterwards I guess how how would it help what do you think is would it help what do you think is would it help what do you think is contributing this is super contributing this is super contributing this is super counter-intuitive the idea that counter-intuitive the idea that counter-intuitive the idea that um an erection is a metabolically um an erection is a metabolically um an erection is a metabolically intensive activity first of all that's intensive activity first of all that's intensive activity first of all that's surprising because we think uh running surprising because we think uh running surprising because we think uh running uh jumping you know power lifting uh uh jumping you know power lifting uh uh jumping you know power lifting uh chin UPS these are metabolically chin UPS these are metabolically chin UPS these are metabolically intensive activities and when you're
06:00intensive activities and when you're intensive activities and when you're doing a pull-up The Strain is coming in doing a pull-up The Strain is coming in doing a pull-up The Strain is coming in the contraction phase you know like it the contraction phase you know like it the contraction phase you know like it takes a lot of energy to contract these takes a lot of energy to contract these takes a lot of energy to contract these muscles muscles muscles but an erection but an erection but an erection the energy is required to relax the the energy is required to relax the the energy is required to relax the muscles because there are the smooth muscles because there are the smooth muscles because there are the smooth muscles not the skeletal muscles but the muscles not the skeletal muscles but the muscles not the skeletal muscles but the smooth muscles that control blood flu to smooth muscles that control blood flu to smooth muscles that control blood flu to get an erection you've got to use the get an erection you've got to use the get an erection you've got to use the blood pressure that the heart creates to blood pressure that the heart creates to blood pressure that the heart creates to push blood into the penis so on one side push blood into the penis so on one side push blood into the penis so on one side you've got to have vasodilation that you've got to have vasodilation that you've got to have vasodilation that opens up the flow allows the pressure to opens up the flow allows the pressure to opens up the flow allows the pressure to get into the penis and on the other side get into the penis and on the other side get into the penis and on the other side that's where you maintain constriction that's where you maintain constriction that's where you maintain constriction so now the penis becomes engorged with so now the penis becomes engorged with so now the penis becomes engorged with blood because it's got a direct like blood because it's got a direct like blood because it's got a direct like open conduit to the major arteries that open conduit to the major arteries that open conduit to the major arteries that Supply it ordinarily these are just tiny Supply it ordinarily these are just tiny Supply it ordinarily these are just tiny little blood vessels but when the smooth little blood vessels but when the smooth little blood vessels but when the smooth muscle tissue relaxes then you get more muscle tissue relaxes then you get more muscle tissue relaxes then you get more pressure in the penis okay so we pressure in the penis okay so we pressure in the penis okay so we understand now the fluid mechanics but understand now the fluid mechanics but understand now the fluid mechanics but why would it be energy intensive to have
07:00why would it be energy intensive to have why would it be energy intensive to have to relax those muscles to relax those muscles to relax those muscles the smooth muscles are signaled by what the smooth muscles are signaled by what the smooth muscles are signaled by what are called the endothelium so if this is are called the endothelium so if this is are called the endothelium so if this is a blood vessel inside there's a thin a blood vessel inside there's a thin a blood vessel inside there's a thin layer of cells called endothelial cells layer of cells called endothelial cells layer of cells called endothelial cells it's their job in direct contact with it's their job in direct contact with it's their job in direct contact with the bloodstream to sense the chemistry the bloodstream to sense the chemistry the bloodstream to sense the chemistry and what's going on in there and what's going on in there and what's going on in there um when they are signaled by a chemical um when they are signaled by a chemical um when they are signaled by a chemical or nervous system signals in the blood or nervous system signals in the blood or nervous system signals in the blood to do their job of producing nitrous to do their job of producing nitrous to do their job of producing nitrous oxide I'm sorry nitric oxide that nitric oxide I'm sorry nitric oxide that nitric oxide I'm sorry nitric oxide that nitric oxide will diffuse up to the smooth oxide will diffuse up to the smooth oxide will diffuse up to the smooth muscle tissues that coat them so I'm muscle tissues that coat them so I'm muscle tissues that coat them so I'm going to review blood vessel endothelial going to review blood vessel endothelial going to review blood vessel endothelial cells on the inside the endothelial cells on the inside the endothelial cells on the inside the endothelial cells must produce nitric oxide no and cells must produce nitric oxide no and cells must produce nitric oxide no and that no causes the smooth muscles to that no causes the smooth muscles to that no causes the smooth muscles to relax so something has to be synthesized relax so something has to be synthesized relax so something has to be synthesized this nitric oxide must be synthesized in this nitric oxide must be synthesized in this nitric oxide must be synthesized in the endothelium to produce the nitric
08:00the endothelium to produce the nitric the endothelium to produce the nitric oxide that relaxes is the smooth muscle oxide that relaxes is the smooth muscle oxide that relaxes is the smooth muscle tissue that causes the vasodilation that tissue that causes the vasodilation that tissue that causes the vasodilation that allows the blood to flow through that's allows the blood to flow through that's allows the blood to flow through that's why I say it's complicated why I say it's complicated why I say it's complicated but so far it doesn't sound like it's but so far it doesn't sound like it's but so far it doesn't sound like it's any big deal make your nitric oxide but any big deal make your nitric oxide but any big deal make your nitric oxide but nitric oxide is a reactive high energy nitric oxide is a reactive high energy nitric oxide is a reactive high energy form of nitrogen you can go all the way form of nitrogen you can go all the way form of nitrogen you can go all the way down to nitrate you can go all the way down to nitrate you can go all the way down to nitrate you can go all the way up to up to up to um higher I'm trying to think no is one um higher I'm trying to think no is one um higher I'm trying to think no is one of the high ones n2o5 lots of different of the high ones n2o5 lots of different of the high ones n2o5 lots of different forms and combinations of nitrogen and forms and combinations of nitrogen and forms and combinations of nitrogen and the higher you go the more energy and the higher you go the more energy and the higher you go the more energy and the more reactive it is the more reactive it is the more reactive it is well that nitric oxide doesn't last very well that nitric oxide doesn't last very well that nitric oxide doesn't last very long in the body so it will signal long in the body so it will signal long in the body so it will signal vasodilation but has a short lifetime in vasodilation but has a short lifetime in vasodilation but has a short lifetime in the body your endothelium must continue the body your endothelium must continue the body your endothelium must continue to produce this new high energy nitric to produce this new high energy nitric to produce this new high energy nitric oxide and there's only a single layer of oxide and there's only a single layer of oxide and there's only a single layer of cells so these things they got to work
09:00cells so these things they got to work cells so these things they got to work hard to maintain vasodilation and they hard to maintain vasodilation and they hard to maintain vasodilation and they need to get that energy from somewhere need to get that energy from somewhere need to get that energy from somewhere decades people thought scientists decades people thought scientists decades people thought scientists thought that the endothelial cells did thought that the endothelial cells did thought that the endothelial cells did not get the energy from mitochondria not get the energy from mitochondria not get the energy from mitochondria because there aren't a lot of because there aren't a lot of because there aren't a lot of mitochondria in the endothelium it's a mitochondria in the endothelium it's a mitochondria in the endothelium it's a lot of mitochondria in your brown fat a lot of mitochondria in your brown fat a lot of mitochondria in your brown fat a lot of mitochondria and you know your lot of mitochondria and you know your lot of mitochondria and you know your heart muscles but not a lot of heart muscles but not a lot of heart muscles but not a lot of mitochondria in the endothelium so mitochondria in the endothelium so mitochondria in the endothelium so scientists thought they're getting their scientists thought they're getting their scientists thought they're getting their energy from glycolysis which is the same energy from glycolysis which is the same energy from glycolysis which is the same way that cancer cells make energy way that cancer cells make energy way that cancer cells make energy bypassing the mitochondria and getting bypassing the mitochondria and getting bypassing the mitochondria and getting it from this alternative metabolic it from this alternative metabolic it from this alternative metabolic pathway pathway pathway but then new study came out and it's but then new study came out and it's but then new study came out and it's just last year and they said we don't just last year and they said we don't just last year and they said we don't think glycolysis is the process think glycolysis is the process think glycolysis is the process all the other studies of endothelial all the other studies of endothelial all the other studies of endothelial metabolism were under proliferation that metabolism were under proliferation that metabolism were under proliferation that is when the cells are reproducing just is when the cells are reproducing just is when the cells are reproducing just like cancer cells reproduce and when like cancer cells reproduce and when like cancer cells reproduce and when endothelial cells reproduces not often
10:00endothelial cells reproduces not often endothelial cells reproduces not often they don't have to do a lot of growing they don't have to do a lot of growing they don't have to do a lot of growing they are powered by glycolysis but when they are powered by glycolysis but when they are powered by glycolysis but when they isolated the metabolism of these they isolated the metabolism of these they isolated the metabolism of these endothelial cells under nitric oxide endothelial cells under nitric oxide endothelial cells under nitric oxide production they discovered that the production they discovered that the production they discovered that the energy for nitric oxide production was energy for nitric oxide production was energy for nitric oxide production was coming from ATP coming from ATP coming from ATP so there might be some microbiologists so there might be some microbiologists so there might be some microbiologists out there and he's like Seeger's wrong out there and he's like Seeger's wrong out there and he's like Seeger's wrong we've known for 25 years that we've known for 25 years that we've known for 25 years that endothelium you know they use glycolysis endothelium you know they use glycolysis endothelium you know they use glycolysis not mitochondria and I wouldn't be not mitochondria and I wouldn't be not mitochondria and I wouldn't be saying this if there wasn't a 2022 saying this if there wasn't a 2022 saying this if there wasn't a 2022 Journal article by an author named Journal article by an author named Journal article by an author named Wilson and a whole team of scientists Wilson and a whole team of scientists Wilson and a whole team of scientists that proves it's the mitochondria that that proves it's the mitochondria that that proves it's the mitochondria that Supply the energy for nitric oxide Supply the energy for nitric oxide Supply the energy for nitric oxide production production production and it makes sense and it makes sense and it makes sense because the first clinical indication of because the first clinical indication of because the first clinical indication of insulin resistance insulin resistance is insulin resistance insulin resistance is insulin resistance insulin resistance is a mitochondrial disorder that impacts a mitochondrial disorder that impacts a mitochondrial disorder that impacts the metabolism the first clinical the metabolism the first clinical the metabolism the first clinical indication of insulin resistance in men
11:00indication of insulin resistance in men indication of insulin resistance in men is typically erectile dysfunction you is typically erectile dysfunction you is typically erectile dysfunction you look at type 2 diabetics you look at uh look at type 2 diabetics you look at uh look at type 2 diabetics you look at uh men with metabolic syndrome that is men with metabolic syndrome that is men with metabolic syndrome that is Advanced insulin resistance and a high Advanced insulin resistance and a high Advanced insulin resistance and a high percentage of them also report erectile percentage of them also report erectile percentage of them also report erectile dysfunction as a standardized dysfunction as a standardized dysfunction as a standardized questionnaire about this thing but when questionnaire about this thing but when questionnaire about this thing but when a doctor sees a man with erectile a doctor sees a man with erectile a doctor sees a man with erectile dysfunction right away he's thinking dysfunction right away he's thinking dysfunction right away he's thinking is metabolic disorder I gotta test him is metabolic disorder I gotta test him is metabolic disorder I gotta test him for insulin sensitivity now I gotta look for insulin sensitivity now I gotta look for insulin sensitivity now I gotta look for Izzy pre-diabetic and the only way for Izzy pre-diabetic and the only way for Izzy pre-diabetic and the only way that makes sense is if it is the that makes sense is if it is the that makes sense is if it is the mitochondria in the endothelium that mitochondria in the endothelium that mitochondria in the endothelium that Supply the energy Supply the energy Supply the energy why does that make sense well when cells why does that make sense well when cells why does that make sense well when cells become insulin resistant it's because become insulin resistant it's because become insulin resistant it's because the mitochondria are damaged they're the mitochondria are damaged they're the mitochondria are damaged they're just not as good at making energy they just not as good at making energy they just not as good at making energy they can only make so much and oddly enough can only make so much and oddly enough can only make so much and oddly enough an erection is asking a lot of energy an erection is asking a lot of energy an erection is asking a lot of energy out of a tiny little tissue it's no
12:00out of a tiny little tissue it's no out of a tiny little tissue it's no wonder it's one of the first things to wonder it's one of the first things to wonder it's one of the first things to go when your metabolism goes south go when your metabolism goes south go when your metabolism goes south so what creates this mitochondrial so what creates this mitochondrial so what creates this mitochondrial dysfunction there are three things that dysfunction there are three things that dysfunction there are three things that I've identified so far one of them seed I've identified so far one of them seed I've identified so far one of them seed oils oils oils the lining of your cells is made of fats the lining of your cells is made of fats the lining of your cells is made of fats it's made of lipids fats are not just it's made of lipids fats are not just it's made of lipids fats are not just for storing energy in our body they're for storing energy in our body they're for storing energy in our body they're also a structural component of your body also a structural component of your body also a structural component of your body you get too many seed oils too many or you get too many seed oils too many or you get too many seed oils too many or maybe omega-6 or linealic acid maybe omega-6 or linealic acid maybe omega-6 or linealic acid you're going to mess with the membrane you're going to mess with the membrane you're going to mess with the membrane it changes the structure of the cell it changes the structure of the cell it changes the structure of the cell membrane and it makes it more difficult membrane and it makes it more difficult membrane and it makes it more difficult to transport glucose across that might to transport glucose across that might to transport glucose across that might that's insulin resistance but that might that's insulin resistance but that might that's insulin resistance but that might not be damaged mitochondria the way you not be damaged mitochondria the way you not be damaged mitochondria the way you damage the mitochondria is too many damage the mitochondria is too many damage the mitochondria is too many carbohydrates carbohydrates carbohydrates when the carbohydrates flood the when the carbohydrates flood the when the carbohydrates flood the bloodstream they work their way into the bloodstream they work their way into the bloodstream they work their way into the cells and then they got to diffuse to cells and then they got to diffuse to cells and then they got to diffuse to the mitochondria where the cells reside the mitochondria where the cells reside the mitochondria where the cells reside the mitochondria are responsible for
13:00the mitochondria are responsible for the mitochondria are responsible for converting the energy so that you can converting the energy so that you can converting the energy so that you can either use it for movement or growth or either use it for movement or growth or either use it for movement or growth or wound repair or whatever your body needs wound repair or whatever your body needs wound repair or whatever your body needs including creating new lipids to store including creating new lipids to store including creating new lipids to store in your white fat cells too much glucose in your white fat cells too much glucose in your white fat cells too much glucose all at once in the mitochondria produces all at once in the mitochondria produces all at once in the mitochondria produces too many reactive oxygen species so too many reactive oxygen species so too many reactive oxygen species so there's a lot of metaphors here there's a lot of metaphors here there's a lot of metaphors here um the one that stuck with me is because um the one that stuck with me is because um the one that stuck with me is because I used to have an electric train when I I used to have an electric train when I I used to have an electric train when I was a kid you know and the electric was a kid you know and the electric was a kid you know and the electric train is going around the track and this train is going around the track and this train is going around the track and this is how I learn circuits like in 1973 is how I learn circuits like in 1973 is how I learn circuits like in 1973 because that Christmas I got an electric because that Christmas I got an electric because that Christmas I got an electric train and the crank up on the volley or train and the crank up on the volley or train and the crank up on the volley or on the uh voltage makes the train go on the uh voltage makes the train go on the uh voltage makes the train go faster it creates more Sparks that is faster it creates more Sparks that is faster it creates more Sparks that is the more energy you're trying to put the more energy you're trying to put the more energy you're trying to put through the same mitochondrial area the through the same mitochondrial area the through the same mitochondrial area the more reactive oxygen species you're more reactive oxygen species you're more reactive oxygen species you're throwing up ordinarily that's not a throwing up ordinarily that's not a throwing up ordinarily that's not a problem melatonin in the mitochondria problem melatonin in the mitochondria problem melatonin in the mitochondria will absorb these react of oxygen
14:00will absorb these react of oxygen will absorb these react of oxygen species the Ros they also signal like species the Ros they also signal like species the Ros they also signal like hey you need some more mitochondria in hey you need some more mitochondria in hey you need some more mitochondria in here and the whole body will work here and the whole body will work here and the whole body will work towards homeostasis towards homeostasis towards homeostasis but when you have too many carbs for too but when you have too many carbs for too but when you have too many carbs for too long you use up that mitochondria long you use up that mitochondria long you use up that mitochondria melatonin melatonin melatonin you create too many Ross they damage the you create too many Ross they damage the you create too many Ross they damage the mitochondrial DNA and the mitochondrial mitochondrial DNA and the mitochondrial mitochondrial DNA and the mitochondrial DNA never get a chance to bounce back DNA never get a chance to bounce back DNA never get a chance to bounce back so this is the third way you can knock so this is the third way you can knock so this is the third way you can knock your mitochondria or your metabolism out your mitochondria or your metabolism out your mitochondria or your metabolism out of whack and that is get the wrong kind of whack and that is get the wrong kind of whack and that is get the wrong kind of light mess up your I call it Mal of light mess up your I call it Mal of light mess up your I call it Mal illumination mess up your circadian illumination mess up your circadian illumination mess up your circadian rhythm too much blue light at night rhythm too much blue light at night rhythm too much blue light at night because this messes up your melatonin because this messes up your melatonin because this messes up your melatonin mitochondria synthesize their own mitochondria synthesize their own mitochondria synthesize their own melatonin and you can't take like a melatonin and you can't take like a melatonin and you can't take like a melatonin supplement and think that melatonin supplement and think that melatonin supplement and think that that's going to make it through your that's going to make it through your that's going to make it through your digestive tract into your bloodstream digestive tract into your bloodstream digestive tract into your bloodstream through the cell wall into your through the cell wall into your through the cell wall into your mitochondria and you're like I'm good mitochondria and you're like I'm good mitochondria and you're like I'm good with my reactive oxygen species I can with my reactive oxygen species I can with my reactive oxygen species I can eat all the carbs I want because it's
15:00eat all the carbs I want because it's eat all the carbs I want because it's not the way it works mitochondria not the way it works mitochondria not the way it works mitochondria synthesize their own melatonin because synthesize their own melatonin because synthesize their own melatonin because they need it right there at the site they need it right there at the site they need it right there at the site that which these metaphorical Sparks are that which these metaphorical Sparks are that which these metaphorical Sparks are being generated you don't give your being generated you don't give your being generated you don't give your mitochondria the right kind of light you mitochondria the right kind of light you mitochondria the right kind of light you don't give them time to recover like don't give them time to recover like don't give them time to recover like either fasting or ketosis or or just either fasting or ketosis or or just either fasting or ketosis or or just fasting from carbs you give them the fasting from carbs you give them the fasting from carbs you give them the wrong kind of oil seed oils rather than wrong kind of oil seed oils rather than wrong kind of oil seed oils rather than animal fats for example or rather than animal fats for example or rather than animal fats for example or rather than fruit oils and you're going to measure fruit oils and you're going to measure fruit oils and you're going to measure mitochondria up mitochondria up mitochondria up when your body is growing really fast uh when your body is growing really fast uh when your body is growing really fast uh adolescence puberty a lot of energy is adolescence puberty a lot of energy is adolescence puberty a lot of energy is getting used just to fuel growth then getting used just to fuel growth then getting used just to fuel growth then you get into your mid-20s and instead you get into your mid-20s and instead you get into your mid-20s and instead instead of growing up you know some instead of growing up you know some instead of growing up you know some people are growing out from the waste people are growing out from the waste people are growing out from the waste now a lot of guys in their mid-20s will now a lot of guys in their mid-20s will now a lot of guys in their mid-20s will still be in good shape will be still be in good shape will be still be in good shape will be exercising they'll be working out but if exercising they'll be working out but if exercising they'll be working out but if their diet isn't right and their light their diet isn't right and their light their diet isn't right and their light is not right and they're eating too many is not right and they're eating too many is not right and they're eating too many carbs you can be lean and fit and still
16:00carbs you can be lean and fit and still carbs you can be lean and fit and still have a crappy metabolism and it's for have a crappy metabolism and it's for have a crappy metabolism and it's for men it's gonna show up first men it's gonna show up first men it's gonna show up first in their sexual function that is the in their sexual function that is the in their sexual function that is the first sign that something is wrong with first sign that something is wrong with first sign that something is wrong with your metabolism and you've got to make your metabolism and you've got to make your metabolism and you've got to make some changes some changes some changes so I'm going into all this Theory and so I'm going into all this Theory and so I'm going into all this Theory and this complicated microbiology none of this complicated microbiology none of this complicated microbiology none of which anybody really needs to know what which anybody really needs to know what which anybody really needs to know what do they really need to know if you want do they really need to know if you want do they really need to know if you want to improve your sexual performance you to improve your sexual performance you to improve your sexual performance you got to take care of your mitochondria got to take care of your mitochondria got to take care of your mitochondria because sexism metabolically intensive because sexism metabolically intensive because sexism metabolically intensive act and not in ways that that we would act and not in ways that that we would act and not in ways that that we would have thought in surprising ways so how have thought in surprising ways so how have thought in surprising ways so how do you take care of your uh mitochondria do you take care of your uh mitochondria do you take care of your uh mitochondria um Sona is actually a really good thing um Sona is actually a really good thing um Sona is actually a really good thing Sona is not good for your testes like Sona is not good for your testes like Sona is not good for your testes like you are gonna too much sauna and you're you are gonna too much sauna and you're you are gonna too much sauna and you're gonna cut your sperm production so if gonna cut your sperm production so if gonna cut your sperm production so if you're trying to conceive a child maybe
17:00you're trying to conceive a child maybe you're trying to conceive a child maybe plan a family sauna is not the right way plan a family sauna is not the right way plan a family sauna is not the right way for you but if Family Planning and for you but if Family Planning and for you but if Family Planning and conception is not your goal someone conception is not your goal someone conception is not your goal someone promotes vasodilation it promotes nitric promotes vasodilation it promotes nitric promotes vasodilation it promotes nitric oxide production it's great for the oxide production it's great for the oxide production it's great for the vascular system so it's a good way to vascular system so it's a good way to vascular system so it's a good way to improve your circulatory system improve improve your circulatory system improve improve your circulatory system improve your erections that's one another one your erections that's one another one your erections that's one another one what would the intermittent fasting what would the intermittent fasting what would the intermittent fasting fast go skipping seed oils out of your fast go skipping seed oils out of your fast go skipping seed oils out of your diet get the carbs out of your diet I diet get the carbs out of your diet I diet get the carbs out of your diet I like to cycle in and out of keto and the like to cycle in and out of keto and the like to cycle in and out of keto and the ice bath is really good for this ice bath is really good for this ice bath is really good for this um the point is to give your um the point is to give your um the point is to give your mitochondria a break from those mitochondria a break from those mitochondria a break from those carbohydrate intensive meals so that's carbohydrate intensive meals so that's carbohydrate intensive meals so that's two the third one is get some cold two the third one is get some cold two the third one is get some cold cold is one of the best things you can cold is one of the best things you can cold is one of the best things you can do to take care of your mitochondria do to take care of your mitochondria do to take care of your mitochondria and this is how it happens you get in and this is how it happens you get in and this is how it happens you get in the cold and right away you're clearing the cold and right away you're clearing the cold and right away you're clearing glucose out of the bloodstream you're glucose out of the bloodstream you're glucose out of the bloodstream you're already burning fats because it boosts already burning fats because it boosts already burning fats because it boosts your metabolism you start that
18:00your metabolism you start that your metabolism you start that non-shivering cold thermogenesis non-shivering cold thermogenesis non-shivering cold thermogenesis and your body's like I need more Brown and your body's like I need more Brown and your body's like I need more Brown fat fat fat well Brown fat is packed with well Brown fat is packed with well Brown fat is packed with mitochondria every Brown fat cell has mitochondria every Brown fat cell has mitochondria every Brown fat cell has thousands of mitochondria where is your thousands of mitochondria where is your thousands of mitochondria where is your body going to get these mitochondria it body going to get these mitochondria it body going to get these mitochondria it has to make them has to make them has to make them cold exposure stimulates two processes cold exposure stimulates two processes cold exposure stimulates two processes the first one is the death of the the first one is the death of the the first one is the death of the damaged mitochondria damaged mitochondria damaged mitochondria um your body has mechanisms for saying um your body has mechanisms for saying um your body has mechanisms for saying which of the mitochondria that aren't which of the mitochondria that aren't which of the mitochondria that aren't working that great it'll find them it'll working that great it'll find them it'll working that great it'll find them it'll kill them recycle their pieces to kill them recycle their pieces to kill them recycle their pieces to synthesize new mitochondria which are synthesize new mitochondria which are synthesize new mitochondria which are called Mito biogenesis so this these two called Mito biogenesis so this these two called Mito biogenesis so this these two processes are both the death and the processes are both the death and the processes are both the death and the birth of new mitochondria it selects the birth of new mitochondria it selects the birth of new mitochondria it selects the best ones best ones best ones to reproduce more and create more to reproduce more and create more to reproduce more and create more mitochondria for your new Brown cells or mitochondria for your new Brown cells or mitochondria for your new Brown cells or sorry uh Brown fat cells to use even if sorry uh Brown fat cells to use even if sorry uh Brown fat cells to use even if has to start with a white fat cell and has to start with a white fat cell and has to start with a white fat cell and create new this is a process called
19:00create new this is a process called create new this is a process called Beijing starts with a white fat cell Beijing starts with a white fat cell Beijing starts with a white fat cell creates new mitochondria in it now creates new mitochondria in it now creates new mitochondria in it now becomes beige or kind of light brown and becomes beige or kind of light brown and becomes beige or kind of light brown and then go all the way to Brown where its then go all the way to Brown where its then go all the way to Brown where its only job is to produce heat and hormones only job is to produce heat and hormones only job is to produce heat and hormones that your thyroid and your brain and that your thyroid and your brain and that your thyroid and your brain and other parts of your body need cold other parts of your body need cold other parts of your body need cold exposure is one of the best things you exposure is one of the best things you exposure is one of the best things you can do to take care of your mitochondria can do to take care of your mitochondria can do to take care of your mitochondria because without it because without it because without it your mitochondria is just kind of your mitochondria is just kind of your mitochondria is just kind of getting well lazy I know that's getting well lazy I know that's getting well lazy I know that's um it's probably not the right way it's um it's probably not the right way it's um it's probably not the right way it's not a scientifically valid term to say not a scientifically valid term to say not a scientifically valid term to say they're lazy but you are not stimulating they're lazy but you are not stimulating they're lazy but you are not stimulating the production of new high quality the production of new high quality the production of new high quality mitochondria unless you're getting some mitochondria unless you're getting some mitochondria unless you're getting some cold there are a couple of foods that cold there are a couple of foods that cold there are a couple of foods that can do it and cold is way more effective can do it and cold is way more effective can do it and cold is way more effective than than than um oh I don't know hatch chilies or um oh I don't know hatch chilies or um oh I don't know hatch chilies or something really spicy they will also something really spicy they will also something really spicy they will also get you going get you going get you going there are some drugs metformin uh there are some drugs metformin uh there are some drugs metformin uh rapamycin
20:00rapamycin rapamycin um berberine is a supplement and these um berberine is a supplement and these um berberine is a supplement and these drugs improve your insulin sensitivity drugs improve your insulin sensitivity drugs improve your insulin sensitivity so they will if you are metabolically so they will if you are metabolically so they will if you are metabolically out of whack they will give your out of whack they will give your out of whack they will give your um your insulin the boosted needs to get um your insulin the boosted needs to get um your insulin the boosted needs to get that glucose into the cell and keep the that glucose into the cell and keep the that glucose into the cell and keep the mitochondria working which is why mitochondria working which is why mitochondria working which is why they're also effective for Life they're also effective for Life they're also effective for Life Extension because aging is a Extension because aging is a Extension because aging is a mitochondrial mitochondrial mitochondrial phenomenon when the mitochondria phenomenon when the mitochondria phenomenon when the mitochondria accumulate damage you begin to see the accumulate damage you begin to see the accumulate damage you begin to see the diseases of Aging so there are some of diseases of Aging so there are some of diseases of Aging so there are some of these um drugs and supplements that will these um drugs and supplements that will these um drugs and supplements that will do it and one of them is Viagra Viagra do it and one of them is Viagra Viagra do it and one of them is Viagra Viagra will not heal your mitochondria it will will not heal your mitochondria it will will not heal your mitochondria it will not stimulate mitobiogenesis but what it not stimulate mitobiogenesis but what it not stimulate mitobiogenesis but what it does is overcome insulin resistance so does is overcome insulin resistance so does is overcome insulin resistance so now your endothelium they're getting the now your endothelium they're getting the now your endothelium they're getting the energy that they need the mitochondria energy that they need the mitochondria energy that they need the mitochondria that are there are like all right we can that are there are like all right we can that are there are like all right we can crank out that Nitric the energy that
21:00crank out that Nitric the energy that crank out that Nitric the energy that the endothelium need for nitric oxide the endothelium need for nitric oxide the endothelium need for nitric oxide production and for the next four hours production and for the next four hours production and for the next four hours vasodilation not a problem then you go vasodilation not a problem then you go vasodilation not a problem then you go right back to where you were with Viagra right back to where you were with Viagra right back to where you were with Viagra well we think of Viagra as like the well we think of Viagra as like the well we think of Viagra as like the man's pill you know man's pill you know man's pill you know um um um just like men shouldn't be taking just like men shouldn't be taking just like men shouldn't be taking women's birth control pills most women women's birth control pills most women women's birth control pills most women are like and I shouldn't be taken Viagra are like and I shouldn't be taken Viagra are like and I shouldn't be taken Viagra that's not the case they're two totally that's not the case they're two totally that's not the case they're two totally different mechanisms within the body different mechanisms within the body different mechanisms within the body this idea that Viagra will overcome this idea that Viagra will overcome this idea that Viagra will overcome insulin resistance and improve your insulin resistance and improve your insulin resistance and improve your circulation your whole vascular function circulation your whole vascular function circulation your whole vascular function it's a profound idea Viagra was it's a profound idea Viagra was it's a profound idea Viagra was originally formulated to treat heart originally formulated to treat heart originally formulated to treat heart disease to treat hypertension there's a disease to treat hypertension there's a disease to treat hypertension there's a thing called angina where your heart is thing called angina where your heart is thing called angina where your heart is not getting enough it's chest pain or not getting enough it's chest pain or not getting enough it's chest pain or your heart is not getting enough blood your heart is not getting enough blood your heart is not getting enough blood and you feel like I don't feel right I and you feel like I don't feel right I and you feel like I don't feel right I don't have enough energy and Pfizer was don't have enough energy and Pfizer was don't have enough energy and Pfizer was like oh we're going to come up with this like oh we're going to come up with this like oh we're going to come up with this thing that improves vascular function so
22:00thing that improves vascular function so thing that improves vascular function so that your heart can get more blood we're that your heart can get more blood we're that your heart can get more blood we're going to dilate your blood vessels and going to dilate your blood vessels and going to dilate your blood vessels and that's going to take your blood pressure that's going to take your blood pressure that's going to take your blood pressure down they start this clinical trial they down they start this clinical trial they down they start this clinical trial they start giving out the little blue pills start giving out the little blue pills start giving out the little blue pills to people who have high blood pressure to people who have high blood pressure to people who have high blood pressure and angina and angina and angina and the men come back and they say well and the men come back and they say well and the men come back and they say well I don't know about my blood pressure I don't know about my blood pressure I don't know about my blood pressure DACA how's it looking DACA how's it looking DACA how's it looking um but can I talk to you about something um but can I talk to you about something um but can I talk to you about something and the doctor's like sure what is it and the doctor's like sure what is it and the doctor's like sure what is it and man after man is like I'm taking and man after man is like I'm taking and man after man is like I'm taking your blood pressure pills and I'm your blood pressure pills and I'm your blood pressure pills and I'm getting these wicked hard ones what's getting these wicked hard ones what's getting these wicked hard ones what's going on and visor goes to hell with going on and visor goes to hell with going on and visor goes to hell with blood pressure you know we're gonna get blood pressure you know we're gonna get blood pressure you know we're gonna get this approved for impotence they want to this approved for impotence they want to this approved for impotence they want to Market it so they can't call it Market it so they can't call it Market it so they can't call it impotence they invent a new term called impotence they invent a new term called impotence they invent a new term called erectile dysfunction and those are all erectile dysfunction and those are all erectile dysfunction and those are all the ads that we see now there's like a the ads that we see now there's like a the ads that we see now there's like a beach and a beautiful lady and stuff beach and a beautiful lady and stuff beach and a beautiful lady and stuff like and now everybody's taking the like and now everybody's taking the like and now everybody's taking the little blue pill turns out women also little blue pill turns out women also little blue pill turns out women also have erectile tissue turns out they're have erectile tissue turns out they're have erectile tissue turns out they're erectile tissue works the exact same way erectile tissue works the exact same way erectile tissue works the exact same way that male erectile tissue does but it's
23:00that male erectile tissue does but it's that male erectile tissue does but it's not as dramatic it's not you know not as dramatic it's not you know not as dramatic it's not you know nobody's looking for a clitoral erection nobody's looking for a clitoral erection nobody's looking for a clitoral erection and it's not a barrier to reproduction and it's not a barrier to reproduction and it's not a barrier to reproduction but women tolerate Viagra very well and but women tolerate Viagra very well and but women tolerate Viagra very well and they get the same sort of vascular they get the same sort of vascular they get the same sort of vascular benefits from it so it's not a hormone benefits from it so it's not a hormone benefits from it so it's not a hormone it works on the vascular system one of it works on the vascular system one of it works on the vascular system one of the things that they prescribe Viagra the things that they prescribe Viagra the things that they prescribe Viagra for is hypoxic brain injury in infants for is hypoxic brain injury in infants for is hypoxic brain injury in infants and that blew my mind because the baby and that blew my mind because the baby and that blew my mind because the baby whether it was asphyxiated by the whether it was asphyxiated by the whether it was asphyxiated by the umbilical cord for whatever reason umbilical cord for whatever reason umbilical cord for whatever reason baby's development of their brain you baby's development of their brain you baby's development of their brain you see this because you just had a son and see this because you just had a son and see this because you just had a son and he comes out with this tiny little head he comes out with this tiny little head he comes out with this tiny little head and then you're like it's been four and then you're like it's been four and then you're like it's been four months and he could you know he can't months and he could you know he can't months and he could you know he can't even hold his head up it's so big even hold his head up it's so big even hold his head up it's so big um everything up here is growing so fast um everything up here is growing so fast um everything up here is growing so fast in the first half a year or so of life in the first half a year or so of life in the first half a year or so of life up to 60 of the energy that your son is up to 60 of the energy that your son is up to 60 of the energy that your son is taking in through nursing is just going taking in through nursing is just going taking in through nursing is just going into the brain thinking learning and
24:00into the brain thinking learning and into the brain thinking learning and growing brain tissue that is an enormous growing brain tissue that is an enormous growing brain tissue that is an enormous metabolic burden for these babies to metabolic burden for these babies to metabolic burden for these babies to recover from hypoxic brain injury they recover from hypoxic brain injury they recover from hypoxic brain injury they need mega vascular system they need to need mega vascular system they need to need mega vascular system they need to get the energy into those brain cells as get the energy into those brain cells as get the energy into those brain cells as fast as and as best they can fast as and as best they can fast as and as best they can Viagra does that so we think about Viagra does that so we think about Viagra does that so we think about viagra is so wrong because we've got it viagra is so wrong because we've got it viagra is so wrong because we've got it Associated you know with the penis when Associated you know with the penis when Associated you know with the penis when actually it works throughout the body we actually it works throughout the body we actually it works throughout the body we think about the ice bath so wrong think about the ice bath so wrong think about the ice bath so wrong because we have it Associated you know because we have it Associated you know because we have it Associated you know with shrinkage when actually it's with shrinkage when actually it's with shrinkage when actually it's improving the metabolism and all of the improving the metabolism and all of the improving the metabolism and all of the vasculature by exercising those smooth vasculature by exercising those smooth vasculature by exercising those smooth muscles and given the energy they need muscles and given the energy they need muscles and given the energy they need to dilate to dilate to dilate now that I've I've figured this out I'm now that I've I've figured this out I'm now that I've I've figured this out I'm trying to explain it to men and to women trying to explain it to men and to women trying to explain it to men and to women because it is the easiest thing you're because it is the easiest thing you're because it is the easiest thing you're ever going to do I I really shouldn't
25:00ever going to do I I really shouldn't ever going to do I I really shouldn't say that people tell me how hard it is say that people tell me how hard it is say that people tell me how hard it is to get in the ice and I get it to get in the ice and I get it to get in the ice and I get it two minutes in the ice and then you get two minutes in the ice and then you get two minutes in the ice and then you get up and you feel like wonderful you feel up and you feel like wonderful you feel up and you feel like wonderful you feel like a superhero or something and you like a superhero or something and you like a superhero or something and you have done so much for your vascular have done so much for your vascular have done so much for your vascular system 10 days and you're gonna have system 10 days and you're gonna have system 10 days and you're gonna have brown fat so when I say it's easy I mean brown fat so when I say it's easy I mean brown fat so when I say it's easy I mean that um there aren't going to be you that um there aren't going to be you that um there aren't going to be you know what the pharmacy industry calls know what the pharmacy industry calls know what the pharmacy industry calls side effects you're not going to have to side effects you're not going to have to side effects you're not going to have to take more pills to deal with the effects take more pills to deal with the effects take more pills to deal with the effects of the pills that you already took it's of the pills that you already took it's of the pills that you already took it's going to be a systemic benefit and going to be a systemic benefit and going to be a systemic benefit and exercise will help a lot but exercise exercise will help a lot but exercise exercise will help a lot but exercise will not bring you the brown fat you will not bring you the brown fat you will not bring you the brown fat you need to stimulate the Mito biogenesis at need to stimulate the Mito biogenesis at need to stimulate the Mito biogenesis at the same rate as the ice bath so I get the same rate as the ice bath so I get the same rate as the ice bath so I get that it's uncomfortable and I get that that it's uncomfortable and I get that that it's uncomfortable and I get that it's painful and I get that it's painful and I get that it's painful and I get that psychologically it's difficult in other psychologically it's difficult in other psychologically it's difficult in other respects yeah you know 10 minutes a day respects yeah you know 10 minutes a day respects yeah you know 10 minutes a day pop in there a couple of three times a pop in there a couple of three times a pop in there a couple of three times a week and you're gonna see a big week and you're gonna see a big week and you're gonna see a big difference difference difference for men in your sexual function
26:00for men in your sexual function for men in your sexual function and I have some anecdotal evidence and I have some anecdotal evidence and I have some anecdotal evidence myself for this so dude this happened myself for this so dude this happened myself for this so dude this happened yeah there was a whole lot there uh and yeah there was a whole lot there uh and yeah there was a whole lot there uh and I did not know that the first thing to I did not know that the first thing to I did not know that the first thing to really be witnessed is erectile really be witnessed is erectile really be witnessed is erectile dysfunction and that doctor should be dysfunction and that doctor should be dysfunction and that doctor should be looking at that I can tell you from looking at that I can tell you from looking at that I can tell you from personal experience because I have personal experience because I have personal experience because I have running I have had my run-ins with running I have had my run-ins with running I have had my run-ins with erectile dysfunction and Viagra personal erectile dysfunction and Viagra personal erectile dysfunction and Viagra personal use in the past do not recommend it so use in the past do not recommend it so use in the past do not recommend it so doctors are not asking for this because doctors are not asking for this because doctors are not asking for this because if you just ask for the prescription if you just ask for the prescription if you just ask for the prescription then they will write it up for you then they will write it up for you then they will write it up for you they'll tell you to take your pants down they'll tell you to take your pants down they'll tell you to take your pants down like yeah here here's your prescription like yeah here here's your prescription like yeah here here's your prescription and uh with the fats I just did a and uh with the fats I just did a and uh with the fats I just did a podcast I release a podcast the previous podcast I release a podcast the previous podcast I release a podcast the previous week talking about keto this is week talking about keto this is week talking about keto this is something that definitely helped me out something that definitely helped me out something that definitely helped me out my life and one of um my life and one of um my life and one of um one of the people that I love reading one of the people that I love reading one of the people that I love reading Dr Jerry Tennant he mentions that yeah Dr Jerry Tennant he mentions that yeah Dr Jerry Tennant he mentions that yeah the your fats are your cell membranes the your fats are your cell membranes the your fats are your cell membranes are components composed of lipids so if are components composed of lipids so if are components composed of lipids so if you are eating these seed oils these you are eating these seed oils these you are eating these seed oils these rancid seed oils things that are prone
27:00rancid seed oils things that are prone rancid seed oils things that are prone to oxidation then your cell membranes to oxidation then your cell membranes to oxidation then your cell membranes are not very sturdy so we are told we are not very sturdy so we are told we are not very sturdy so we are told we are warned to stay away from saturated are warned to stay away from saturated are warned to stay away from saturated fats that they are the devil that fats that they are the devil that fats that they are the devil that they're going to cause heart attacks they're going to cause heart attacks they're going to cause heart attacks absolutely false not true I had a ton of absolutely false not true I had a ton of absolutely false not true I had a ton of butter fat does not make you fat I'm butter fat does not make you fat I'm butter fat does not make you fat I'm able to stay lean year-round and I would able to stay lean year-round and I would able to stay lean year-round and I would definitely recommend listening to that definitely recommend listening to that definitely recommend listening to that podcast if you are a little bit fearful podcast if you are a little bit fearful podcast if you are a little bit fearful of consuming fats if your doctor told of consuming fats if your doctor told of consuming fats if your doctor told you something different and this this you something different and this this you something different and this this absolutely changed my life uh with the absolutely changed my life uh with the absolutely changed my life uh with the what you said about the stimulation I I what you said about the stimulation I I what you said about the stimulation I I do agree to that point because we do agree to that point because we do agree to that point because we discussed it last time I had Adrian on discussed it last time I had Adrian on discussed it last time I had Adrian on the podcast as well she fixed her um the podcast as well she fixed her um the podcast as well she fixed her um autoimmune Hashimoto's through cold autoimmune Hashimoto's through cold autoimmune Hashimoto's through cold exposure and exposure and exposure and I do believe that we are understimulated I do believe that we are understimulated I do believe that we are understimulated I believe that one of the issues that I believe that one of the issues that I believe that one of the issues that affected me in the past when I was affected me in the past when I was affected me in the past when I was dealing with these issues was I was dealing with these issues was I was dealing with these issues was I was wearing Under Armor compression shorts wearing Under Armor compression shorts wearing Under Armor compression shorts which are tights for you yep so your testes your ball
28:00for you yep so your testes your ball sack I'm just gonna say it like they are sack I'm just gonna say it like they are sack I'm just gonna say it like they are supposed to go through these ranges as supposed to go through these ranges as supposed to go through these ranges as well as you discussed in our previous well as you discussed in our previous well as you discussed in our previous podcast we're in a temperature podcast we're in a temperature podcast we're in a temperature controlled environment we stay indoors controlled environment we stay indoors controlled environment we stay indoors we wake up in the morning we get a we wake up in the morning we get a we wake up in the morning we get a little bit of sunlight maybe which our little bit of sunlight maybe which our little bit of sunlight maybe which our melatonin production is going to go down melatonin production is going to go down melatonin production is going to go down we're not exposed to these infrared rays we're not exposed to these infrared rays we're not exposed to these infrared rays and such that has its own uh host of and such that has its own uh host of and such that has its own uh host of detrimental effects in the body please detrimental effects in the body please detrimental effects in the body please go listen to the red light episode that go listen to the red light episode that go listen to the red light episode that I did with mono red light but we are I did with mono red light but we are I did with mono red light but we are indoors in this temperature controlled indoors in this temperature controlled indoors in this temperature controlled environment so we are not stimulated the environment so we are not stimulated the environment so we are not stimulated the same would go for your gonads your balls same would go for your gonads your balls same would go for your gonads your balls and maybe a little bit too much and maybe a little bit too much and maybe a little bit too much information for this but whatever we're information for this but whatever we're information for this but whatever we're here we're talking about it I free ball here we're talking about it I free ball here we're talking about it I free ball 90 of the time I let him hang and as I 90 of the time I let him hang and as I 90 of the time I let him hang and as I said your your testes are supposed to go said your your testes are supposed to go said your your testes are supposed to go through this full spectrum range if through this full spectrum range if through this full spectrum range if you're hot guess what they're gonna sag you're hot guess what they're gonna sag you're hot guess what they're gonna sag yeah yeah yeah get that shrinkage get that shrinkage get that shrinkage yeah so I fully agree with you I think
29:00yeah so I fully agree with you I think yeah so I fully agree with you I think that it could be a conspiracy we're that it could be a conspiracy we're that it could be a conspiracy we're supposed to get sunlight on our entire supposed to get sunlight on our entire supposed to get sunlight on our entire body we don't Sun our balls so that body we don't Sun our balls so that body we don't Sun our balls so that never gets any type of light and they're never gets any type of light and they're never gets any type of light and they're always covered in clothing always covered in clothing always covered in clothing so I I definitely think that there's so I I definitely think that there's so I I definitely think that there's something there so I would add that to something there so I would add that to something there so I would add that to number four is we are not being number four is we are not being number four is we are not being stimulated we are not getting these stimulated we are not getting these stimulated we are not getting these ranges of temperatures which I think is ranges of temperatures which I think is ranges of temperatures which I think is a is a huge contributor to uh especially a is a huge contributor to uh especially a is a huge contributor to uh especially down there in other regions where you down there in other regions where you down there in other regions where you get this vasoconstrictive effect the get this vasoconstrictive effect the get this vasoconstrictive effect the muscles can track and then they have muscles can track and then they have muscles can track and then they have more of ability now to actually relax as more of ability now to actually relax as more of ability now to actually relax as well they're being understimulated so I well they're being understimulated so I well they're being understimulated so I would I would add that one as well would I would add that one as well would I would add that one as well clients come to you and they want to clients come to you and they want to clients come to you and they want to exercise all their skeletal muscles exercise all their skeletal muscles exercise all their skeletal muscles these are the muscles that are attached these are the muscles that are attached these are the muscles that are attached to our bones they control you know our to our bones they control you know our to our bones they control you know our major movements it's fine everybody major movements it's fine everybody major movements it's fine everybody should do that should do that should do that and how are they exercising the smooth and how are they exercising the smooth and how are they exercising the smooth muscle tissue that controls their muscle tissue that controls their muscle tissue that controls their vasculature nobody ever told them that
30:00vasculature nobody ever told them that vasculature nobody ever told them that and you can't open up a copy of men's and you can't open up a copy of men's and you can't open up a copy of men's health and go wow look at the smooth health and go wow look at the smooth health and go wow look at the smooth muscles on that guy I mean it doesn't muscles on that guy I mean it doesn't muscles on that guy I mean it doesn't make any sense because these are tiny make any sense because these are tiny make any sense because these are tiny little muscles but guess what if they little muscles but guess what if they little muscles but guess what if they don't exercise if they don't go through don't exercise if they don't go through don't exercise if they don't go through the vasoconstriction vasodilation cycle the vasoconstriction vasodilation cycle the vasoconstriction vasodilation cycle and just like the rest of the muscles and just like the rest of the muscles and just like the rest of the muscles they're like what do you need me for and they're like what do you need me for and they're like what do you need me for and your body will reapportion the resources your body will reapportion the resources your body will reapportion the resources that it needs in response to the that it needs in response to the that it needs in response to the stresses that you've given this is no stresses that you've given this is no stresses that you've given this is no wonder your vascular system goes to crap wonder your vascular system goes to crap wonder your vascular system goes to crap because you can't exercise the smooth because you can't exercise the smooth because you can't exercise the smooth muscle tissue in the gym you do it muscle tissue in the gym you do it muscle tissue in the gym you do it in the cold bath you do it in the sauna in the cold bath you do it in the sauna in the cold bath you do it in the sauna you do it with the thermal contrast you do it with the thermal contrast you do it with the thermal contrast therapy now Adrian she grew up in therapy now Adrian she grew up in therapy now Adrian she grew up in Florida and she's living in Phoenix Florida and she's living in Phoenix Florida and she's living in Phoenix she says I hate Nicole she says I hate Nicole she says I hate Nicole we started this company in 2018 and we started this company in 2018 and we started this company in 2018 and Adrian didn't want to have anything to Adrian didn't want to have anything to Adrian didn't want to have anything to do with it at first her first ice bath do with it at first her first ice bath do with it at first her first ice bath like 11 seconds long like 11 seconds long like 11 seconds long well she'd been avoiding the cold like
31:00well she'd been avoiding the cold like well she'd been avoiding the cold like ever since she was a little girl as a ever since she was a little girl as a ever since she was a little girl as a result her Brown fat is down to nothing result her Brown fat is down to nothing result her Brown fat is down to nothing you hit 40. and more than 95 percent of you hit 40. and more than 95 percent of you hit 40. and more than 95 percent of Americans have no detectable Brown fat Americans have no detectable Brown fat Americans have no detectable Brown fat at all from that age on babies have at all from that age on babies have at all from that age on babies have about 30 percent of their body weight is about 30 percent of their body weight is about 30 percent of their body weight is brown fat and it just keeps going down brown fat and it just keeps going down brown fat and it just keeps going down down down and the less cold you get the down down and the less cold you get the down down and the less cold you get the less brown fat you have now most people less brown fat you have now most people less brown fat you have now most people are like well that's not a big deal you are like well that's not a big deal you are like well that's not a big deal you know I'm not planning on shivering know I'm not planning on shivering know I'm not planning on shivering but Brown fat is not just a thermogenic but Brown fat is not just a thermogenic but Brown fat is not just a thermogenic organ it is also a secretory organ that organ it is also a secretory organ that organ it is also a secretory organ that is it produces hormones on which the is it produces hormones on which the is it produces hormones on which the rest of your body depends the brown fat rest of your body depends the brown fat rest of your body depends the brown fat and the thyroid are in constant and the thyroid are in constant and the thyroid are in constant communication with one another no Brown communication with one another no Brown communication with one another no Brown fat and you got this thyroid like trying fat and you got this thyroid like trying fat and you got this thyroid like trying to dial up on the phone like where are to dial up on the phone like where are to dial up on the phone like where are you know there's no thyroid stimulating you know there's no thyroid stimulating you know there's no thyroid stimulating hormone coming out of the brown fat hormone coming out of the brown fat hormone coming out of the brown fat because that's one of the essential because that's one of the essential
32:00because that's one of the essential functions of brown fat is to make more functions of brown fat is to make more functions of brown fat is to make more thyroid stimulating hormone than any thyroid stimulating hormone than any thyroid stimulating hormone than any other organ in the body and that other organ in the body and that other organ in the body and that communicates with the thyroid and the communicates with the thyroid and the communicates with the thyroid and the thyroid communicates back with the brown thyroid communicates back with the brown thyroid communicates back with the brown patent together they control metabolism patent together they control metabolism patent together they control metabolism no Brown fat means your thyroid is no Brown fat means your thyroid is no Brown fat means your thyroid is dysregulated it's got no no speedometer dysregulated it's got no no speedometer dysregulated it's got no no speedometer on it it could go hyper it could guy on it it could go hyper it could guy on it it could go hyper it could guy hypo when Adrian she started doing some hypo when Adrian she started doing some hypo when Adrian she started doing some keto she fixed some things in her diet keto she fixed some things in her diet keto she fixed some things in her diet and she added cold exposure when she and she added cold exposure when she and she added cold exposure when she recruited Brown fat back into her body recruited Brown fat back into her body recruited Brown fat back into her body she brought her thyroid back into stable she brought her thyroid back into stable she brought her thyroid back into stable function function function our Hashimoto's went away she got off our Hashimoto's went away she got off our Hashimoto's went away she got off all of her meds so I don't mean to say all of her meds so I don't mean to say all of her meds so I don't mean to say that brown fat is a miracle Brown fat is that brown fat is a miracle Brown fat is that brown fat is a miracle Brown fat is something that human beings are evolved something that human beings are evolved something that human beings are evolved to have we're born with it and we're to have we're born with it and we're to have we're born with it and we're meant to keep some portion of it so then meant to keep some portion of it so then meant to keep some portion of it so then people typically ask me well you know people typically ask me well you know people typically ask me well you know that's fine for you Tom you know your that's fine for you Tom you know your that's fine for you Tom you know your people are from the North Sea or some of people are from the North Sea or some of people are from the North Sea or some of your old Northwestern European and it your old Northwestern European and it
33:00your old Northwestern European and it must have been cold up there for your must have been cold up there for your must have been cold up there for your great great ancestors but what about the great great ancestors but what about the great great ancestors but what about the equatorial people you know why should equatorial people you know why should equatorial people you know why should they have brown fat why should they get they have brown fat why should they get they have brown fat why should they get cold and it's a decent question it's a cold and it's a decent question it's a cold and it's a decent question it's a very challenging question until you very challenging question until you very challenging question until you think about think about think about where do where do where do archaeologists and anthropologists think archaeologists and anthropologists think archaeologists and anthropologists think the first Homo sapiens emerged most of the first Homo sapiens emerged most of the first Homo sapiens emerged most of them are like East Africa and you're them are like East Africa and you're them are like East Africa and you're like well that's right on the equator like well that's right on the equator like well that's right on the equator that's really warm why would Homo that's really warm why would Homo that's really warm why would Homo sapiens need brown fat sapiens need brown fat sapiens need brown fat except where does vimhof take all his except where does vimhof take all his except where does vimhof take all his instructors on the up Mount Kilimanjaro instructors on the up Mount Kilimanjaro instructors on the up Mount Kilimanjaro which is right on the equator there are which is right on the equator there are which is right on the equator there are four active glaciers in East Africa and four active glaciers in East Africa and four active glaciers in East Africa and they're all on the equator they're all on the equator they're all on the equator when the ice age comes human beings get when the ice age comes human beings get when the ice age comes human beings get put these Homo sapiens they get pushed put these Homo sapiens they get pushed put these Homo sapiens they get pushed like to the edge between the ice that's like to the edge between the ice that's like to the edge between the ice that's coming off the mountain and the ocean coming off the mountain and the ocean coming off the mountain and the ocean even if they live in East Africa and the
34:00even if they live in East Africa and the even if they live in East Africa and the ice is melting and it creates the ice is melting and it creates the ice is melting and it creates the streams and those streams are cold and streams and those streams are cold and streams and those streams are cold and then people say well then people say well then people say well why is that a big deal I mean do why is that a big deal I mean do why is that a big deal I mean do gorillas need brown fat to bonobos need gorillas need brown fat to bonobos need gorillas need brown fat to bonobos need brown fat to chimpanzees knee Brown fat brown fat to chimpanzees knee Brown fat brown fat to chimpanzees knee Brown fat and I say I don't know I don't study and I say I don't know I don't study and I say I don't know I don't study them them them but we're not them but we're not them but we're not them we have 99 of our DNA you know we share we have 99 of our DNA you know we share we have 99 of our DNA you know we share with those bonobos with those bonobos with those bonobos but our nostrils go down not out we're but our nostrils go down not out we're but our nostrils go down not out we're not covered with hair we have not covered with hair we have not covered with hair we have subcutaneous fat like dolphins and subcutaneous fat like dolphins and subcutaneous fat like dolphins and manatee and whales or not the I mean if manatee and whales or not the I mean if manatee and whales or not the I mean if we're unhealthy we have the visceral fat we're unhealthy we have the visceral fat we're unhealthy we have the visceral fat our anatomy despite sharing all that DNA our anatomy despite sharing all that DNA our anatomy despite sharing all that DNA is so much different than a chimpanzee is so much different than a chimpanzee is so much different than a chimpanzee or a gorilla for that matter because we or a gorilla for that matter because we or a gorilla for that matter because we are aquatic we were meant to fish and are aquatic we were meant to fish and are aquatic we were meant to fish and Wade and swim and dive in those cold Wade and swim and dive in those cold Wade and swim and dive in those cold Rivers we were meant to give birth in Rivers we were meant to give birth in Rivers we were meant to give birth in those cold Rivers because of the water
35:00those cold Rivers because of the water those cold Rivers because of the water eases the pain of contraction it makes eases the pain of contraction it makes eases the pain of contraction it makes the woman less vulnerable to certain the woman less vulnerable to certain the woman less vulnerable to certain types of predators there's one woman in types of predators there's one woman in types of predators there's one woman in the United Kingdom I've been looking for the United Kingdom I've been looking for the United Kingdom I've been looking for the woman who's like willing to try the woman who's like willing to try the woman who's like willing to try childbirth in cold water and it takes a childbirth in cold water and it takes a childbirth in cold water and it takes a lot of guts a lot of pregnant women are lot of guts a lot of pregnant women are lot of guts a lot of pregnant women are doing cold plunges and they report doing cold plunges and they report doing cold plunges and they report wonderful things but it takes a lot of wonderful things but it takes a lot of wonderful things but it takes a lot of guts to labor in the cold water and then guts to labor in the cold water and then guts to labor in the cold water and then I picked up this book chill and it was I picked up this book chill and it was I picked up this book chill and it was written by a physician in the United written by a physician in the United written by a physician in the United Kingdom who was a cold water Open Water Kingdom who was a cold water Open Water Kingdom who was a cold water Open Water swimmer and he's part of a club and swimmer and he's part of a club and swimmer and he's part of a club and interviewed a bunch of people and there interviewed a bunch of people and there interviewed a bunch of people and there was one woman who was so into it she was one woman who was so into it she was one woman who was so into it she labored in the cold water she said it labored in the cold water she said it labored in the cold water she said it was great that as far as the difference was great that as far as the difference was great that as far as the difference between being on land and being in the between being on land and being in the between being on land and being in the cold water for pain the ease of the cold water for pain the ease of the cold water for pain the ease of the delivery the healthy child delivery the healthy child delivery the healthy child um now I'm not a physician I'm not a um now I'm not a physician I'm not a um now I'm not a physician I'm not a medical doctor I'm a professor of medical doctor I'm a professor of medical doctor I'm a professor of engineering I'm not recommending this engineering I'm not recommending this engineering I'm not recommending this I'm saying why do we all need the cold I'm saying why do we all need the cold I'm saying why do we all need the cold because all of our ancestors were up to because all of our ancestors were up to because all of our ancestors were up to our next inning we are
36:00our next inning we are our next inning we are evolutionarily designed to expect cold evolutionarily designed to expect cold evolutionarily designed to expect cold exposure just like we're evolutionarily exposure just like we're evolutionarily exposure just like we're evolutionarily designed to expect sunshine or just like designed to expect sunshine or just like designed to expect sunshine or just like where evolutionary design to expect where evolutionary design to expect where evolutionary design to expect exercise and if the body's expectations exercise and if the body's expectations exercise and if the body's expectations are not met by its environment it's no are not met by its environment it's no are not met by its environment it's no wonder we get diseased so exercise and wonder we get diseased so exercise and wonder we get diseased so exercise and diet can do a lot of good things for you diet can do a lot of good things for you diet can do a lot of good things for you if cold is still missing your puzzle if cold is still missing your puzzle if cold is still missing your puzzle pieces so to speak are incomplete pieces so to speak are incomplete pieces so to speak are incomplete it's like uh there's a few pillars in it's like uh there's a few pillars in it's like uh there's a few pillars in health exercise nutrition light sleep I health exercise nutrition light sleep I health exercise nutrition light sleep I don't think a lot of people actually pay don't think a lot of people actually pay don't think a lot of people actually pay attention to temperature and it makes attention to temperature and it makes attention to temperature and it makes sense with the thyroid and how Adrian sense with the thyroid and how Adrian sense with the thyroid and how Adrian was able to overcome this because all was able to overcome this because all was able to overcome this because all your brown fat is also loaded up here so your brown fat is also loaded up here so your brown fat is also loaded up here so it's almost like it's local to the it's almost like it's local to the it's almost like it's local to the thyroid if you're now if your thyroid's thyroid if you're now if your thyroid's thyroid if you're now if your thyroid's off hypo hyper whatever it may be that's off hypo hyper whatever it may be that's off hypo hyper whatever it may be that's going to affect your other hormones as going to affect your other hormones as going to affect your other hormones as well you got it yep you're piecing it well you got it yep you're piecing it well you got it yep you're piecing it together because we are complex systems together because we are complex systems together because we are complex systems everything is in communication with everything is in communication with everything is in communication with everything all the time and when one
37:00everything all the time and when one everything all the time and when one thing gets out of whack the rest of the thing gets out of whack the rest of the thing gets out of whack the rest of the systems in the body they compensate so systems in the body they compensate so systems in the body they compensate so we can be we can be we can be um in a in a disordered State without um in a in a disordered State without um in a in a disordered State without experiencing symptoms right away or experiencing symptoms right away or experiencing symptoms right away or maybe the symptoms are subtle because maybe the symptoms are subtle because maybe the symptoms are subtle because all these other compensatory mechanisms all these other compensatory mechanisms all these other compensatory mechanisms are now working overtime to try and are now working overtime to try and are now working overtime to try and protect us from degradation of function protect us from degradation of function protect us from degradation of function but you do that for 10 years for 20 but you do that for 10 years for 20 but you do that for 10 years for 20 years and the rest of these systems will years and the rest of these systems will years and the rest of these systems will become dysregulated as well then it become dysregulated as well then it become dysregulated as well then it begins to show up as symptomatic you go begins to show up as symptomatic you go begins to show up as symptomatic you go to the doctor and the doctor's like I'll to the doctor and the doctor's like I'll to the doctor and the doctor's like I'll have a pill for that but the pill have a pill for that but the pill have a pill for that but the pill doesn't doesn't do anything for the doesn't doesn't do anything for the doesn't doesn't do anything for the underlying for the lack of sunshine or underlying for the lack of sunshine or underlying for the lack of sunshine or for the crappy diet or for the lack of for the crappy diet or for the lack of for the crappy diet or for the lack of exercise or for the lack of cold all it exercise or for the lack of cold all it exercise or for the lack of cold all it does is continue to mask the symptoms does is continue to mask the symptoms does is continue to mask the symptoms while the underlying conditions get while the underlying conditions get while the underlying conditions get worse then we call them diseases of old worse then we call them diseases of old worse then we call them diseases of old age and you get to be 57 like me and age and you get to be 57 like me and age and you get to be 57 like me and your faculty colleagues are like what do your faculty colleagues are like what do your faculty colleagues are like what do you mean you're not any prescriptions
38:00you mean you're not any prescriptions you mean you're not any prescriptions like my doctor says I gotta have this like my doctor says I gotta have this like my doctor says I gotta have this you're going to be taking it for the you're going to be taking it for the you're going to be taking it for the rest of my life I said well I intend to rest of my life I said well I intend to rest of my life I said well I intend to live a lot longer than you then yeah disease is this ease the body is not at disease is this ease the body is not at ease I I personally don't even truly ease I I personally don't even truly ease I I personally don't even truly believe in disease it's a it's a believe in disease it's a it's a believe in disease it's a it's a it's a manifestation of all this it's a manifestation of all this it's a manifestation of all this internal stuff that we are not paying internal stuff that we are not paying internal stuff that we are not paying attention to and uh attention to and uh attention to and uh what I actually just heard in a course what I actually just heard in a course what I actually just heard in a course that I took about a month ago it was that I took about a month ago it was that I took about a month ago it was talking about cells how cells that are talking about cells how cells that are talking about cells how cells that are atypical they are not going to function atypical they are not going to function atypical they are not going to function properly I've been diving into iodine properly I've been diving into iodine properly I've been diving into iodine fluoride now fluoride leads to cancer fluoride now fluoride leads to cancer fluoride now fluoride leads to cancer and fluoride destroys the collagen so if and fluoride destroys the collagen so if and fluoride destroys the collagen so if your collagen is misshaped if your your collagen is misshaped if your your collagen is misshaped if your protein structure is protein structure is protein structure is um like asymmetrical or just not shaped um like asymmetrical or just not shaped um like asymmetrical or just not shaped the way that it should be then the the way that it should be then the the way that it should be then the function is going to be off well think function is going to be off well think function is going to be off well think about how cancer spreads if you have one about how cancer spreads if you have one
39:00about how cancer spreads if you have one cell that is dysfunctional now all those cell that is dysfunctional now all those cell that is dysfunctional now all those cells in the area have to pick up the cells in the area have to pick up the cells in the area have to pick up the slab they aren't doing their prescribed slab they aren't doing their prescribed slab they aren't doing their prescribed job anymore because this one can't cut job anymore because this one can't cut job anymore because this one can't cut it its own it can't get its slack or it it its own it can't get its slack or it it its own it can't get its slack or it can't do the work that it's supposed to can't do the work that it's supposed to can't do the work that it's supposed to and how do you think things spread so and how do you think things spread so and how do you think things spread so now it's just as body wide now it's just as body wide now it's just as body wide spread of dysfunctional tissue if we can spread of dysfunctional tissue if we can spread of dysfunctional tissue if we can restructure it if we can tell the cells restructure it if we can tell the cells restructure it if we can tell the cells this is what you should be doing do your this is what you should be doing do your this is what you should be doing do your job through light through nutrition job through light through nutrition job through light through nutrition through exercise through movement through exercise through movement through exercise through movement through water through water through water not non-contaminated water filtered not non-contaminated water filtered not non-contaminated water filtered water water water minerals vitamins I don't believe minerals vitamins I don't believe minerals vitamins I don't believe disease truly exists disease truly exists disease truly exists I do I do I do um so I'm gonna go for it why I do um so I'm gonna go for it why I do um so I'm gonna go for it why I do um I read a great book called 1491. It's um I read a great book called 1491. It's um I read a great book called 1491. It's a provocative title 1492 is when a provocative title 1492 is when a provocative title 1492 is when Columbus sailed the ocean blue so 1491
40:00Columbus sailed the ocean blue so 1491 Columbus sailed the ocean blue so 1491 was supposed to be this anthropological was supposed to be this anthropological was supposed to be this anthropological archaeological description of what was archaeological description of what was archaeological description of what was it like in the Western Hemisphere you it like in the Western Hemisphere you it like in the Western Hemisphere you know North and South in Central America know North and South in Central America know North and South in Central America before Columbus shows up before Columbus shows up before Columbus shows up um and it's a reconstruction based upon um and it's a reconstruction based upon um and it's a reconstruction based upon archeology but our idea of what Native archeology but our idea of what Native archeology but our idea of what Native American culture was is pretty much American culture was is pretty much American culture was is pretty much based upon these kind of colonial era based upon these kind of colonial era based upon these kind of colonial era accounts the pilgrims come over you know accounts the pilgrims come over you know accounts the pilgrims come over you know there's Jamestown or shoot I spent three there's Jamestown or shoot I spent three there's Jamestown or shoot I spent three years of my eye living in Indiana you years of my eye living in Indiana you years of my eye living in Indiana you know it it wasn't called know it it wasn't called know it it wasn't called Indiana because there were a bunch of Indiana because there were a bunch of Indiana because there were a bunch of racist people it was called Indiana racist people it was called Indiana racist people it was called Indiana because it was the frontier at the time because it was the frontier at the time because it was the frontier at the time it was settled and so our stories are it was settled and so our stories are it was settled and so our stories are our Consciousness they're all of long our Consciousness they're all of long our Consciousness they're all of long after 14 1991 so what happened after 14 1991 so what happened after 14 1991 so what happened well Columbus and the Explorers brought well Columbus and the Explorers brought well Columbus and the Explorers brought over syphilis they brought over smallpox over syphilis they brought over smallpox over syphilis they brought over smallpox they brought over a lot of diseases that
41:00they brought over a lot of diseases that they brought over a lot of diseases that the populations in North America have the populations in North America have the populations in North America have zero experience with in Europe an zero experience with in Europe an zero experience with in Europe an evolution of parasites viruses bacteria evolution of parasites viruses bacteria evolution of parasites viruses bacteria and yeah ecological sorry biolog and yeah ecological sorry biolog and yeah ecological sorry biolog microbiological responses they come up microbiological responses they come up microbiological responses they come up together and so uh your ancestors my together and so uh your ancestors my together and so uh your ancestors my ancestors they've had contact with these ancestors they've had contact with these ancestors they've had contact with these different stressors different stressors different stressors microbiological stressors and developed microbiological stressors and developed microbiological stressors and developed an immune system there's a tune to them an immune system there's a tune to them an immune system there's a tune to them but if you introduce a novel could be a but if you introduce a novel could be a but if you introduce a novel could be a virus it could be a bacteria if you virus it could be a bacteria if you virus it could be a bacteria if you introduce a bacterium that has been introduce a bacterium that has been introduce a bacterium that has been trained in a hospital to be resistant to trained in a hospital to be resistant to trained in a hospital to be resistant to all like available antibiotics you think all like available antibiotics you think all like available antibiotics you think your immune system is going to be able your immune system is going to be able your immune system is going to be able to handle that what I'm saying is I do to handle that what I'm saying is I do to handle that what I'm saying is I do believe there's such a thing as disease believe there's such a thing as disease believe there's such a thing as disease in the sort of infectious disease sense in the sort of infectious disease sense in the sort of infectious disease sense and that doesn't contradict for me the
42:00and that doesn't contradict for me the and that doesn't contradict for me the meaning of dis-ease a body no longer at meaning of dis-ease a body no longer at meaning of dis-ease a body no longer at ease ease ease for me the intuition is to stay in tune for me the intuition is to stay in tune for me the intuition is to stay in tune with our evolutionary biological with our evolutionary biological with our evolutionary biological I want to say roots and that's not quite I want to say roots and that's not quite I want to say roots and that's not quite the right term the right term the right term experiences experiences experiences it's also a very popular book by Alex it's also a very popular book by Alex it's also a very popular book by Alex Haley uh it was a popular TV mini series Haley uh it was a popular TV mini series Haley uh it was a popular TV mini series when I was a kid and I don't mean to be when I was a kid and I don't mean to be when I was a kid and I don't mean to be turning this into a race thing what I turning this into a race thing what I turning this into a race thing what I mean to be saying is that 10 20 000 mean to be saying is that 10 20 000 mean to be saying is that 10 20 000 years of evolution in uh interaction years of evolution in uh interaction years of evolution in uh interaction with your pathogenic environment changes with your pathogenic environment changes with your pathogenic environment changes what happens to the species our immune what happens to the species our immune what happens to the species our immune system has been trained by the system has been trained by the system has been trained by the experiences of our great great ancestors experiences of our great great ancestors experiences of our great great ancestors as well as our own and when the training as well as our own and when the training as well as our own and when the training of your immune system is discordant with of your immune system is discordant with of your immune system is discordant with the exposure I believe you can wipe the exposure I believe you can wipe the exposure I believe you can wipe people out
43:00people out people out that doesn't say anything about coven that doesn't say anything about coven that doesn't say anything about coven um I do think it is possible to create a um I do think it is possible to create a um I do think it is possible to create a super bacteria by exposing it to super bacteria by exposing it to super bacteria by exposing it to antibiotic and when we're doing it right antibiotic and when we're doing it right antibiotic and when we're doing it right now in hospitals for example I do think now in hospitals for example I do think now in hospitals for example I do think it's possible to create novel pathogens it's possible to create novel pathogens it's possible to create novel pathogens with which our immune system has no with which our immune system has no with which our immune system has no experience covert wasn't it but in some experience covert wasn't it but in some experience covert wasn't it but in some dystopian science fiction World in my dystopian science fiction World in my dystopian science fiction World in my imagination it could happen and it imagination it could happen and it imagination it could happen and it already did in 1492. already did in 1492. already did in 1492. so I don't want to go too far into the so I don't want to go too far into the so I don't want to go too far into the like I don't believe in disease like I don't believe in disease like I don't believe in disease um but I but there's nothing about that um but I but there's nothing about that um but I but there's nothing about that which is inconsistent with give your which is inconsistent with give your which is inconsistent with give your body what is evolutionarily designed to body what is evolutionarily designed to body what is evolutionarily designed to expect what it means give yourselves expect what it means give yourselves expect what it means give yourselves what they need to stay healthy because what they need to stay healthy because what they need to stay healthy because they know how to do it they know how to do it they know how to do it if you give them the proper things if you give them the proper things if you give them the proper things they'll take care of themselves yep yeah they'll take care of themselves yep yeah they'll take care of themselves yep yeah I don't know if you've dove into it at I don't know if you've dove into it at I don't know if you've dove into it at all uh like germ Theory and
44:00all uh like germ Theory and all uh like germ Theory and um or like your internal the better your um or like your internal the better your um or like your internal the better your internal internal internal um structure is than anything that's a um structure is than anything that's a um structure is than anything that's a external can't really affect you too external can't really affect you too external can't really affect you too much that's more like Dr Tom Callan work much that's more like Dr Tom Callan work much that's more like Dr Tom Callan work and such like that so I think they're on and such like that so I think they're on and such like that so I think they're on to something because to something because to something because um um was right washer God dang hands before was right washer God dang hands before was right washer God dang hands before you go operate on another patient or you go operate on another patient or you go operate on another patient or deliver another baby you know I'm not deliver another baby you know I'm not deliver another baby you know I'm not saying germs don't exist semelvice was saying germs don't exist semelvice was saying germs don't exist semelvice was right but the conditions under which right but the conditions under which right but the conditions under which some of us were working was like some of us were working was like some of us were working was like terrible nutrition was terrible factory terrible nutrition was terrible factory terrible nutrition was terrible factory conditions were terrible sanitation was conditions were terrible sanitation was conditions were terrible sanitation was terrible like we had to compensate for terrible like we had to compensate for terrible like we had to compensate for the fact that people were already in the fact that people were already in the fact that people were already in this degraded Health State surrounded by this degraded Health State surrounded by this degraded Health State surrounded by an environment that is almost conspired an environment that is almost conspired an environment that is almost conspired to make them sick under those you better to make them sick under those you better to make them sick under those you better God dang well wash your hands because God dang well wash your hands because God dang well wash your hands because they're covered with filth they're covered with filth they're covered with filth that's not the same as an environment in
45:00that's not the same as an environment in that's not the same as an environment in which a healthy body is getting what it which a healthy body is getting what it which a healthy body is getting what it needs wasn't that like they were going needs wasn't that like they were going needs wasn't that like they were going from dead bodies with formaldehyde and from dead bodies with formaldehyde and from dead bodies with formaldehyde and then going to deliver babies right then going to deliver babies right then going to deliver babies right afterwards and the women were dying afterwards and the women were dying afterwards and the women were dying yeah yeah let's figure that out probably not a let's figure that out probably not a let's figure that out probably not a good idea right yeah all right so let's good idea right yeah all right so let's good idea right yeah all right so let's get back to get back to get back to erections and uh erections and uh erections and uh so overall what you're seeing is that so overall what you're seeing is that so overall what you're seeing is that if people are struggling with erectile if people are struggling with erectile if people are struggling with erectile dysfunction it is an endothelial problem dysfunction it is an endothelial problem dysfunction it is an endothelial problem or a actually a mitochondrial issue and or a actually a mitochondrial issue and or a actually a mitochondrial issue and in order to resolve this things that in order to resolve this things that in order to resolve this things that would help you out would be lowering would help you out would be lowering would help you out would be lowering your intake of carbohydrates your intake of carbohydrates your intake of carbohydrates loading up or at least increasing your loading up or at least increasing your loading up or at least increasing your fat intake good quality fats not seed fat intake good quality fats not seed fat intake good quality fats not seed oils Omega-3s fruit oils and animal fats oils Omega-3s fruit oils and animal fats oils Omega-3s fruit oils and animal fats are a good bet and some people argue are a good bet and some people argue are a good bet and some people argue about bacon and whether it's pasture about bacon and whether it's pasture about bacon and whether it's pasture raised and stuff and I'm like look get raised and stuff and I'm like look get raised and stuff and I'm like look get the canola oil out of your diet and the canola oil out of your diet and the canola oil out of your diet and you're moving in the right direction you're moving in the right direction you're moving in the right direction people shouldn't be eating cotton for
46:00people shouldn't be eating cotton for people shouldn't be eating cotton for goodness sakes if there's cotton in your goodness sakes if there's cotton in your goodness sakes if there's cotton in your food then that's not food the so there's food then that's not food the so there's food then that's not food the so there's some really basic things before you get some really basic things before you get some really basic things before you get into Super optimization effects but you into Super optimization effects but you into Super optimization effects but you were going down the list and you were were going down the list and you were were going down the list and you were saying get the carbs down do a little saying get the carbs down do a little saying get the carbs down do a little bit of fasting uh or at least carb bit of fasting uh or at least carb bit of fasting uh or at least carb fasting fasting fasting um get the right fats less omega-6 more um get the right fats less omega-6 more um get the right fats less omega-6 more omega-3 the fats that come from a fruit omega-3 the fats that come from a fruit omega-3 the fats that come from a fruit oils avocado Olive these are fruits Not oils avocado Olive these are fruits Not oils avocado Olive these are fruits Not seeds seeds seeds um and from animals um and from animals um and from animals get you sleep right get you sleep right get you sleep right um because that helps everything and the um because that helps everything and the um because that helps everything and the way to get your sleep right is to get way to get your sleep right is to get way to get your sleep right is to get your light exposure right and all of your light exposure right and all of your light exposure right and all of those things are only chipping around those things are only chipping around those things are only chipping around the edges they're all good things to do the edges they're all good things to do the edges they're all good things to do eventually if you do not get cold if you eventually if you do not get cold if you eventually if you do not get cold if you live in Florida for example you can't live in Florida for example you can't live in Florida for example you can't even get cold in like the Gulf of Mexico even get cold in like the Gulf of Mexico even get cold in like the Gulf of Mexico you can't even get cold in the Atlantic you can't even get cold in the Atlantic you can't even get cold in the Atlantic Ocean because it just doesn't get cold
47:00Ocean because it just doesn't get cold Ocean because it just doesn't get cold enough to really activate that shiver enough to really activate that shiver enough to really activate that shiver response so all these other things that response so all these other things that response so all these other things that are really good to do eventually you're are really good to do eventually you're are really good to do eventually you're going to run out of brown fat your going to run out of brown fat your going to run out of brown fat your mitochondria are going to accumulate the mitochondria are going to accumulate the mitochondria are going to accumulate the damage of all the life and you will have damage of all the life and you will have damage of all the life and you will have failed to stimulate the mitobiogenesis failed to stimulate the mitobiogenesis failed to stimulate the mitobiogenesis you need to age at the slowest rate you need to age at the slowest rate you need to age at the slowest rate possible possible possible your dick is going to feel it first your dick is going to feel it first your dick is going to feel it first I can't believe I just said that I can't believe I just said that I can't believe I just said that um experience it first in your erection that's getting clipped oh I'm sorry not that's getting clipped oh I'm sorry not sorry but there you go it's in there but sorry but there you go it's in there but sorry but there you go it's in there but no tear to your point uh someone that no tear to your point uh someone that no tear to your point uh someone that I've worked with and myself included I I I've worked with and myself included I I I've worked with and myself included I I wake up in the middle of night and I'll wake up in the middle of night and I'll wake up in the middle of night and I'll have a rock hard boner and I'm just like have a rock hard boner and I'm just like have a rock hard boner and I'm just like that's pretty cool I like that I feel that's pretty cool I like that I feel that's pretty cool I like that I feel like a teenager again or morning wood or like a teenager again or morning wood or like a teenager again or morning wood or just randomly throughout the day and uh
48:00just randomly throughout the day and uh just randomly throughout the day and uh my client he was raving about this like my client he was raving about this like my client he was raving about this like he'd be out in the middle of the day he'd be out in the middle of the day he'd be out in the middle of the day rock hard he's like man what what is rock hard he's like man what what is rock hard he's like man what what is this and I know that magnesium this and I know that magnesium this and I know that magnesium supplementation is really important with supplementation is really important with supplementation is really important with the cold exposure obviously it's a the cold exposure obviously it's a the cold exposure obviously it's a stressor and one of the first things to stressor and one of the first things to stressor and one of the first things to go when we tell you why go when we tell you why go when we tell you why um um mitochondria need magnesium they are mitochondria need magnesium they are mitochondria need magnesium they are dense packed with it you cannot do Mito dense packed with it you cannot do Mito dense packed with it you cannot do Mito biogenesis with cold exposure if you not biogenesis with cold exposure if you not biogenesis with cold exposure if you not do not meet the nutritional demands of do not meet the nutritional demands of do not meet the nutritional demands of the mitochondria so to synthesize new the mitochondria so to synthesize new the mitochondria so to synthesize new mitochondria you're going to need mitochondria you're going to need mitochondria you're going to need magnesium and your body will steal it magnesium and your body will steal it magnesium and your body will steal it out of your bones if you don't put it in out of your bones if you don't put it in out of your bones if you don't put it in your diet like your body's gonna say your diet like your body's gonna say your diet like your body's gonna say well we got to have brown fat this is well we got to have brown fat this is well we got to have brown fat this is like a life or death issue where are we like a life or death issue where are we like a life or death issue where are we going to get that magnesium they will going to get that magnesium they will going to get that magnesium they will just keep going to your bones and go just keep going to your bones and go just keep going to your bones and go into your bones and go into your bones into your bones and go into your bones into your bones and go into your bones and Hollow those bones out of magnesium and Hollow those bones out of magnesium and Hollow those bones out of magnesium to keep the brown fat going if you don't to keep the brown fat going if you don't to keep the brown fat going if you don't replace with your diet and supplements replace with your diet and supplements replace with your diet and supplements are fine I take magnesium l308 because are fine I take magnesium l308 because are fine I take magnesium l308 because it goes up into the brain but there are
49:00it goes up into the brain but there are it goes up into the brain but there are plenty of forms of magnesium what isn't plenty of forms of magnesium what isn't plenty of forms of magnesium what isn't going to work is spinach Because unless going to work is spinach Because unless going to work is spinach Because unless you grew it yourself and you've been you grew it yourself and you've been you grew it yourself and you've been like fertilizing it with epsom salt and like fertilizing it with epsom salt and like fertilizing it with epsom salt and stuff the spinach that we get from the stuff the spinach that we get from the stuff the spinach that we get from the Central Valley of California the spinach Central Valley of California the spinach Central Valley of California the spinach we get from the Sands of Florida there's we get from the Sands of Florida there's we get from the Sands of Florida there's no magnesium left in that because no magnesium left in that because no magnesium left in that because they're not growing it to be nutritious they're not growing it to be nutritious they're not growing it to be nutritious they're growing it to sell it by the they're growing it to sell it by the they're growing it to sell it by the pound so you have a great point about pound so you have a great point about pound so you have a great point about magnesium the deficit will show up not magnesium the deficit will show up not magnesium the deficit will show up not right away because you store most of the right away because you store most of the right away because you store most of the magnesium in your bones only like one magnesium in your bones only like one magnesium in your bones only like one percent is is in your bloodstream if you percent is is in your bloodstream if you percent is is in your bloodstream if you have a magnesium blood test have a magnesium blood test have a magnesium blood test it's irrelevant because they're they're it's irrelevant because they're they're it's irrelevant because they're they're only looking at one percent you can do only looking at one percent you can do only looking at one percent you can do however however however um magnesium urine tests to test your um magnesium urine tests to test your um magnesium urine tests to test your absorption you take a supplement you see absorption you take a supplement you see absorption you take a supplement you see what's in your uh urine how much am I what's in your uh urine how much am I what's in your uh urine how much am I keeping in my body and how much is keeping in my body and how much is keeping in my body and how much is passing through but it's very difficult passing through but it's very difficult passing through but it's very difficult to get an assessment of what's going on to get an assessment of what's going on to get an assessment of what's going on inside your body with magnesium if inside your body with magnesium if inside your body with magnesium if you're doing cold exposure just take a
50:00you're doing cold exposure just take a you're doing cold exposure just take a supplement they're inexpensive it's you supplement they're inexpensive it's you supplement they're inexpensive it's you can't overdose on magnesium it lets you can't overdose on magnesium it lets you can't overdose on magnesium it lets you know know know and by that it gives you diarrhea this and by that it gives you diarrhea this and by that it gives you diarrhea this is what I mean by lead you know at that is what I mean by lead you know at that is what I mean by lead you know at that point you're getting plenty of magnesium point you're getting plenty of magnesium point you're getting plenty of magnesium so so so um you're making an excellent point that um you're making an excellent point that um you're making an excellent point that magnesium is essential for metabolic magnesium is essential for metabolic magnesium is essential for metabolic health health health but it's a long slow decaying curve but it's a long slow decaying curve but it's a long slow decaying curve because your body will steal it out of because your body will steal it out of because your body will steal it out of your bones if it needs it in your your bones if it needs it in your your bones if it needs it in your mitochondria mitochondria mitochondria we didn't touch on this in the last we didn't touch on this in the last we didn't touch on this in the last podcast I meant to so I'm glad that we podcast I meant to so I'm glad that we podcast I meant to so I'm glad that we kind of discussed it here kind of discussed it here kind of discussed it here so as he was doing the cold exposure and so as he was doing the cold exposure and so as he was doing the cold exposure and he was supplementing with magnesium we he was supplementing with magnesium we he was supplementing with magnesium we were doing this certain Source magnesium were doing this certain Source magnesium were doing this certain Source magnesium bicarbonate for quite some time and then bicarbonate for quite some time and then bicarbonate for quite some time and then he came off of it he came off of it he came off of it and he was still getting the erection so and he was still getting the erection so and he was still getting the erection so it wasn't just the Magnesium no it means it wasn't just the Magnesium no it means it wasn't just the Magnesium no it means it's mitochondria are doing great yeah it's mitochondria are doing great yeah it's mitochondria are doing great yeah um but let me ask you does he have a um but let me ask you does he have a um but let me ask you does he have a girlfriend girlfriend girlfriend his wife
51:00his wife his wife and okay how does she feel about it and okay how does she feel about it and okay how does she feel about it boners yeah boners yeah boners yeah I mean how could you be mad I mean how could you be mad I mean how could you be mad well well well it's complicated it's complicated it's complicated um for the ladies um for the ladies um for the ladies um um because what's right for them isn't because what's right for them isn't because what's right for them isn't necessarily right for us when you're in necessarily right for us when you're in necessarily right for us when you're in a monogamous relationship and you've got a monogamous relationship and you've got a monogamous relationship and you've got all this testosterone coursing through all this testosterone coursing through all this testosterone coursing through your bloodstream you're taking care of your bloodstream you're taking care of your bloodstream you're taking care of your metabolism um on the one hand the ladies might feel um on the one hand the ladies might feel oh well this is you know I'm so sexy oh well this is you know I'm so sexy oh well this is you know I'm so sexy look at what I Inspire in my man and you look at what I Inspire in my man and you look at what I Inspire in my man and you know it's very flattering feeling or at know it's very flattering feeling or at know it's very flattering feeling or at least it can be but on the other hand least it can be but on the other hand least it can be but on the other hand my girlfriend has asked me to promise to my girlfriend has asked me to promise to my girlfriend has asked me to promise to not do anything to further increase my not do anything to further increase my not do anything to further increase my testosterone or improve you know I want testosterone or improve you know I want testosterone or improve you know I want to stay healthy hon and I I want to live to stay healthy hon and I I want to live to stay healthy hon and I I want to live a long life and you're 13 years younger a long life and you're 13 years younger a long life and you're 13 years younger than I am and so you know I want to age than I am and so you know I want to age than I am and so you know I want to age gracefully and she's like Tom I'm tired gracefully and she's like Tom I'm tired gracefully and she's like Tom I'm tired you know
52:00you know you know just don't do anything more and um I just don't do anything more and um I just don't do anything more and um I kind of see where she's kind of see where she's kind of see where she's coming from so this is why it's one of coming from so this is why it's one of coming from so this is why it's one of these things we don't talk enough about these things we don't talk enough about these things we don't talk enough about like how do the ladies uh perceive that like how do the ladies uh perceive that like how do the ladies uh perceive that when Ben Greenfield's wife was when Ben Greenfield's wife was when Ben Greenfield's wife was interviewed she said well do interviewed she said well do interviewed she said well do Germans um we're in this in the center Germans um we're in this in the center Germans um we're in this in the center and so are sex from once or twice a week up to are sex from once or twice a week up to at least a couple or three times a week at least a couple or three times a week at least a couple or three times a week and I'm going what cells into my dick to get better cells into my dick to get better performance I'm I'm shooting for two or performance I'm I'm shooting for two or performance I'm I'm shooting for two or three times a week I'm like babe two or three times a week I'm like babe two or three times a week I'm like babe two or three times a day we gotta make some three times a day we gotta make some three times a day we gotta make some time for this time for this time for this but every couple is a little bit but every couple is a little bit but every couple is a little bit different and men and women can be different and men and women can be different and men and women can be mismatched in their libido mismatched in their libido mismatched in their libido yeah and I can definitely see that yeah and I can definitely see that yeah and I can definitely see that there's there's levels as you mentioned there's there's levels as you mentioned there's there's levels as you mentioned before like the bench press so I mean I before like the bench press so I mean I before like the bench press so I mean I guess that honestly comes down to the guess that honestly comes down to the guess that honestly comes down to the guy like you then you have to find a way
53:00guy like you then you have to find a way guy like you then you have to find a way to to to resolve that issue you can't obviously resolve that issue you can't obviously resolve that issue you can't obviously go in a cage but what strategies would go in a cage but what strategies would go in a cage but what strategies would you have personally for that if you you have personally for that if you you have personally for that if you aren't matched um there is whether it's on the Internet um there is whether it's on the Internet or in your church or whatever there is or in your church or whatever there is or in your church or whatever there is um a social stigma there's a lot of um a social stigma there's a lot of um a social stigma there's a lot of Shame around masturbation I'm not even Shame around masturbation I'm not even Shame around masturbation I'm not even talking about porn I'm talking about talking about porn I'm talking about talking about porn I'm talking about masturbation masturbation masturbation um and I'm like so what the I mean I I um and I'm like so what the I mean I I um and I'm like so what the I mean I I just want to get over that she can help just want to get over that she can help just want to get over that she can help she can be there with you she can be there with you she can be there with you um but this is like this is a biological um but this is like this is a biological um but this is like this is a biological thing I started doing ice baths I thing I started doing ice baths I thing I started doing ice baths I haven't had a wet dream since I was like haven't had a wet dream since I was like haven't had a wet dream since I was like 17. and then here I am in my 50s 17. and then here I am in my 50s 17. and then here I am in my 50s and I'm having these extremely vivid and I'm having these extremely vivid and I'm having these extremely vivid dreams this is telling me something just dreams this is telling me something just dreams this is telling me something just rub one out uh and there's no shame in

55:00you don't sit your wife or your you don't sit your wife or your girlfriend down and say by the way I saw girlfriend down and say by the way I saw girlfriend down and say by the way I saw this crazy podcast with this guy he's this crazy podcast with this guy he's this crazy podcast with this guy he's got dreadlocks and he talks to a got dreadlocks and he talks to a got dreadlocks and he talks to a professor and they said this thing about professor and they said this thing about professor and they said this thing about ice baths and boners and so I just want ice baths and boners and so I just want ice baths and boners and so I just want to let you know I'm going to try this if to let you know I'm going to try this if to let you know I'm going to try this if you don't have that conversation then I you don't have that conversation then I you don't have that conversation then I think you're setting yourself up for think you're setting yourself up for think you're setting yourself up for some really difficult feelings some really difficult feelings some really difficult feelings these things what I'm suggesting is these things what I'm suggesting is these things what I'm suggesting is explain what's going on and then as you explain what's going on and then as you explain what's going on and then as you encounter the obstacles encounter the obstacles encounter the obstacles um um formulate experiments like try different formulate experiments like try different formulate experiments like try different things without the you're gonna have to things without the you're gonna have to things without the you're gonna have to let some things go and one of those let some things go and one of those let some things go and one of those things you're going to let go is shame things you're going to let go is shame things you're going to let go is shame and an unwillingness to communicate yeah and an unwillingness to communicate yeah and an unwillingness to communicate yeah I mean communication with any I mean communication with any I mean communication with any relationship is probably one of the it's relationship is probably one of the it's relationship is probably one of the it's foundational if you don't have that you foundational if you don't have that you foundational if you don't have that you kind of really don't have anything you kind of really don't have anything you kind of really don't have anything you have to have the hard discussions I have to have the hard discussions I have to have the hard discussions I agree people communicate in different agree people communicate in different agree people communicate in different ways uh and so discussion is one of them ways uh and so discussion is one of them ways uh and so discussion is one of them and there's a lot of different ways to and there's a lot of different ways to and there's a lot of different ways to have that communication but one way or have that communication but one way or have that communication but one way or another if you don't have it the another if you don't have it the another if you don't have it the expectations are going to be out of expectations are going to be out of expectations are going to be out of whack with the reality
56:00whack with the reality whack with the reality I mean they can't mind read I guess it I mean they can't mind read I guess it I mean they can't mind read I guess it would be would be would be it would depend on how you're actually it would depend on how you're actually it would depend on how you're actually taking care of that too like the taking care of that too like the taking care of that too like the masturbation if you're going to wank off masturbation if you're going to wank off masturbation if you're going to wank off to porn uh I mean I'm I'm personally to porn uh I mean I'm I'm personally to porn uh I mean I'm I'm personally I wouldn't say against porn but I I I wouldn't say against porn but I I I wouldn't say against porn but I I don't advocate for it I had my struggles don't advocate for it I had my struggles don't advocate for it I had my struggles in the past with it I believe that it's in the past with it I believe that it's in the past with it I believe that it's a love killer so if you're looking at a love killer so if you're looking at a love killer so if you're looking at someone else have sex it's kind of weird someone else have sex it's kind of weird someone else have sex it's kind of weird too because you're watching another dude too because you're watching another dude too because you're watching another dude Bona girl instead of having doing it Bona girl instead of having doing it Bona girl instead of having doing it yourself yourself yourself and since we're on this topic diving and since we're on this topic diving and since we're on this topic diving into some more taboo stuff that's into some more taboo stuff that's into some more taboo stuff that's terrible right yeah if you're um terrible right yeah if you're um terrible right yeah if you're um if you are masturbating and you're if you are masturbating and you're if you are masturbating and you're ejaculating you're kind of giving up ejaculating you're kind of giving up ejaculating you're kind of giving up your seed I don't know if you're your seed I don't know if you're your seed I don't know if you're familiar with this I'm reading a book familiar with this I'm reading a book familiar with this I'm reading a book called The Tao of sexology no I haven't called The Tao of sexology no I haven't called The Tao of sexology no I haven't read it it recommends really not to read it it recommends really not to read it it recommends really not to ejaculate if anything there's a practice ejaculate if anything there's a practice ejaculate if anything there's a practice where you can ejaculate I don't know if where you can ejaculate I don't know if where you can ejaculate I don't know if you've heard of that before you've heard of that before you've heard of that before I haven't so I haven't so I haven't so um orgasm without ejaculation
57:00um orgasm without ejaculation um orgasm without ejaculation but I don't know if that's the same it but I don't know if that's the same it but I don't know if that's the same it kind of fits in line with that so uh for kind of fits in line with that so uh for kind of fits in line with that so uh for the viewers out here I believe that the the viewers out here I believe that the the viewers out here I believe that the sales for this book is probably going to sales for this book is probably going to sales for this book is probably going to go through the roof after I mentioned go through the roof after I mentioned go through the roof after I mentioned this type of stuff but uh there's a this type of stuff but uh there's a this type of stuff but uh there's a point point point that's called the Gen Mo point it's like that's called the Gen Mo point it's like that's called the Gen Mo point it's like a million dollar point it's in between a million dollar point it's in between a million dollar point it's in between your balls and your ass and then if you your balls and your ass and then if you your balls and your ass and then if you learn how to actually learn how to actually learn how to actually do this practice which I'm not really do this practice which I'm not really do this practice which I'm not really going to describe here if you want go going to describe here if you want go going to describe here if you want go ahead and look it up uh because it seems ahead and look it up uh because it seems ahead and look it up uh because it seems kind of far-fetched and out there uh you kind of far-fetched and out there uh you kind of far-fetched and out there uh you will not ejaculate your semen will will not ejaculate your semen will will not ejaculate your semen will actually go up through your spine and actually go up through your spine and actually go up through your spine and will be recirculated throughout your will be recirculated throughout your will be recirculated throughout your body so instead of losing your life body so instead of losing your life body so instead of losing your life force instead of kind of feeling force instead of kind of feeling force instead of kind of feeling depleted afterwards which can happen if depleted afterwards which can happen if depleted afterwards which can happen if you're masturbating very frequently you're masturbating very frequently you're masturbating very frequently which I guess I want to add that for any which I guess I want to add that for any which I guess I want to add that for any people that are in their teens their 20s people that are in their teens their 20s people that are in their teens their 20s or so if you're jerking off three four or so if you're jerking off three four or so if you're jerking off three four times a day to porn like of course times a day to porn like of course times a day to porn like of course you're gonna feel like [ __ ] of course you're gonna feel like [ __ ] of course you're gonna feel like [ __ ] of course you're not going to feel very ambitious you're not going to feel very ambitious you're not going to feel very ambitious you're not going to be a very driven
58:00you're not going to be a very driven you're not going to be a very driven individual you're losing your seed and individual you're losing your seed and individual you're losing your seed and you're you're kind of wasting it so I you're you're kind of wasting it so I you're you're kind of wasting it so I just want to kind of add that little bit just want to kind of add that little bit just want to kind of add that little bit in there that's something for you to in there that's something for you to in there that's something for you to look into yourself in Japanese of the look into yourself in Japanese of the look into yourself in Japanese of the seed seed seed um um I want to go with it a little bit uh I want to go with it a little bit uh I want to go with it a little bit uh trees release their pollen like if we're trees release their pollen like if we're trees release their pollen like if we're going to talk about the seed in this going to talk about the seed in this going to talk about the seed in this life force and we're going to get really life force and we're going to get really life force and we're going to get really metaphorical then I'm skeptical because metaphorical then I'm skeptical because metaphorical then I'm skeptical because um I don't think of that as my life um I don't think of that as my life um I don't think of that as my life force and I'll make more yeah but you force and I'll make more yeah but you force and I'll make more yeah but you have a good point about male motivation have a good point about male motivation have a good point about male motivation [Music] [Music] um um when you're ambitious you get out there when you're ambitious you get out there when you're ambitious you get out there you compete you test yourself you you you compete you test yourself you you you compete you test yourself you you risk failure risk failure risk failure shoot the Vikings didn't they call it shoot the Vikings didn't they call it shoot the Vikings didn't they call it rape and pillage for goodness sakes and rape and pillage for goodness sakes and rape and pillage for goodness sakes and you know why because the Vikings were a you know why because the Vikings were a you know why because the Vikings were a polygenous society only the richest most
59:00polygenous society only the richest most polygenous society only the richest most powerful men had wives and they had a powerful men had wives and they had a powerful men had wives and they had a lot of them so you get to be a 17 or 18 lot of them so you get to be a 17 or 18 lot of them so you get to be a 17 or 18 year old Viking and you're there in year old Viking and you're there in year old Viking and you're there in Denmark or something you're like God Denmark or something you're like God Denmark or something you're like God damn it there's no women for us because damn it there's no women for us because damn it there's no women for us because Rich Dane man over there just keeps Rich Dane man over there just keeps Rich Dane man over there just keeps marrying up all the good-looking ones marrying up all the good-looking ones marrying up all the good-looking ones and then you go well wait a second I and then you go well wait a second I and then you go well wait a second I digest milk digest milk digest milk you know those those other ones over on you know those those other ones over on you know those those other ones over on the continent they can't do that yet the continent they can't do that yet the continent they can't do that yet let's wait for the rivers of the Rhine let's wait for the rivers of the Rhine let's wait for the rivers of the Rhine and the sand and the Thames you know and the sand and the Thames you know and the sand and the Thames you know let's let the ice break up then like let's let the ice break up then like let's let the ice break up then like let's get a bunch of guys let's get in a let's get a bunch of guys let's get in a let's get a bunch of guys let's get in a Long Boat and we're gonna row across the Long Boat and we're gonna row across the Long Boat and we're gonna row across the ocean and we're gonna sail up the Thames ocean and we're gonna sail up the Thames ocean and we're gonna sail up the Thames or you know whatever it is and we're or you know whatever it is and we're or you know whatever it is and we're gonna rape and pillage the Villages of gonna rape and pillage the Villages of gonna rape and pillage the Villages of the springtime must have been great the springtime must have been great the springtime must have been great but what motivated them to get in those but what motivated them to get in those but what motivated them to get in those freaking long boats and row across that freaking long boats and row across that freaking long boats and row across that goddamn ocean and fight those battles it goddamn ocean and fight those battles it goddamn ocean and fight those battles it was sex because without monogamous
1:00was sex because without monogamous was sex because without monogamous societies societies societies are much less violent than polygenous are much less violent than polygenous are much less violent than polygenous societies for these reasons so societies for these reasons so societies for these reasons so there's something about there's something about there's something about um that sex drive that motivates young um that sex drive that motivates young um that sex drive that motivates young men to work harder and I know I have men to work harder and I know I have men to work harder and I know I have felt this myself that is not a bad thing felt this myself that is not a bad thing felt this myself that is not a bad thing so when you're talking about life force so when you're talking about life force so when you're talking about life force I can see how it relates to motivation I I can see how it relates to motivation I I can see how it relates to motivation I don't think it's life force but it's don't think it's life force but it's don't think it's life force but it's like this you can spend your days in like this you can spend your days in like this you can spend your days in your mother's basement jerking off to your mother's basement jerking off to your mother's basement jerking off to porn every you don't even have to dig porn every you don't even have to dig porn every you don't even have to dig the Playboys out from under you know the the Playboys out from under you know the the Playboys out from under you know the mattress anymore it's all right there in mattress anymore it's all right there in mattress anymore it's all right there in high definition high definition high definition or you can maybe get yourself out there or you can maybe get yourself out there or you can maybe get yourself out there and compete and make something of and compete and make something of and compete and make something of yourself and guess what some lady might yourself and guess what some lady might yourself and guess what some lady might actually talk to you notice that you're actually talk to you notice that you're actually talk to you notice that you're making an effort a lot boys aren't making an effort a lot boys aren't making an effort a lot boys aren't having a shaved boys I'm gonna say young having a shaved boys I'm gonna say young having a shaved boys I'm gonna say young men according to the surveys aren't men according to the surveys aren't men according to the surveys aren't having anywhere near the sex that they having anywhere near the sex that they

1:02the easy solution correct and when you the easy solution correct and when you seek the easy solution I'm I'm not seek the easy solution I'm I'm not seek the easy solution I'm I'm not shaming them but when you seek the easy shaming them but when you seek the easy shaming them but when you seek the easy solution the opportunity cost is the solution the opportunity cost is the solution the opportunity cost is the hard solution and you get so much more hard solution and you get so much more hard solution and you get so much more out of the hard solution because you out of the hard solution because you out of the hard solution because you learn things you learn how to use a saw learn things you learn how to use a saw learn things you learn how to use a saw you learn about birds you know I don't you learn about birds you know I don't you learn about birds you know I don't know when you know if you're into d know when you know if you're into d know when you know if you're into d ude get into D and D like be a great ude get into D and D like be a great ude get into D and D like be a great dungeon master but maybe that's not dungeon master but maybe that's not dungeon master but maybe that's not maybe it's not d d maybe for you it's DJ maybe it's not d d maybe for you it's DJ maybe it's not d d maybe for you it's DJ and so go be like a terrible DJ DJ some and so go be like a terrible DJ DJ some and so go be like a terrible DJ DJ some 8th grade birthday party then to get 8th grade birthday party then to get 8th grade birthday party then to get yourself going be good at something or yourself going be good at something or yourself going be good at something or at least try and that's the hard path at least try and that's the hard path at least try and that's the hard path and yeah if you make if you take the and yeah if you make if you take the and yeah if you make if you take the easy path all the time your life becomes easy path all the time your life becomes easy path all the time your life becomes hard if you make if you do and follow hard if you make if you do and follow hard if you make if you do and follow through with the heart of this age in through with the heart of this age in through with the heart of this age in your life will actually become easier your life will actually become easier your life will actually become easier it's a little Paradox there so easy is a it's a little Paradox there so easy is a it's a little Paradox there so easy is a trap trap trap yeah convenience convenience and ease yeah convenience convenience and ease yeah convenience convenience and ease it's like uh domestication we've been

1:04but do you think that women kind of pick but do you think that women kind of pick up on that like whether it's a pheromone up on that like whether it's a pheromone up on that like whether it's a pheromone or just that you are not ambitious not or just that you are not ambitious not or just that you are not ambitious not driven and that it could be due to you driven and that it could be due to you driven and that it could be due to you depleting yourself because I know that depleting yourself because I know that depleting yourself because I know that um it could be just a fable but um it could be just a fable but um it could be just a fable but athletes we're told not to have sex athletes we're told not to have sex athletes we're told not to have sex prior to Big competitions because their prior to Big competitions because their prior to Big competitions because their Drive wouldn't be as I remember that I Drive wouldn't be as I remember that I Drive wouldn't be as I remember that I remember Rocky you know where Burgess remember Rocky you know where Burgess remember Rocky you know where Burgess Meredith is criticizing him for getting Meredith is criticizing him for getting Meredith is criticizing him for getting together with Adrian and Rocky's like together with Adrian and Rocky's like together with Adrian and Rocky's like this girl and Burgess Meredith is like this girl and Burgess Meredith is like this girl and Burgess Meredith is like then let her train yo women weakens for then let her train yo women weakens for then let her train yo women weakens for legs you know what a great movie he's legs you know what a great movie he's legs you know what a great movie he's like okay like okay like okay yeah but here's um so I've tried nofap yeah but here's um so I've tried nofap yeah but here's um so I've tried nofap and here's what I've noticed I don't and here's what I've noticed I don't and here's what I've noticed I don't think it's about seed retention life think it's about seed retention life think it's about seed retention life force things like that I think it's like force things like that I think it's like force things like that I think it's like this this this um I'll go let's say a week and then all um I'll go let's say a week and then all um I'll go let's say a week and then all of a sudden the fear that I have of of a sudden the fear that I have of of a sudden the fear that I have of approaching a woman approaching a woman approaching a woman becomes less than the motivation that I
1:05becomes less than the motivation that I becomes less than the motivation that I have to go talk to women that is it's have to go talk to women that is it's have to go talk to women that is it's not um not um not um I'm not going to sign up for seed I'm not going to sign up for seed I'm not going to sign up for seed retention but I am going to sign up for retention but I am going to sign up for retention but I am going to sign up for it what are you doing instead what are it what are you doing instead what are it what are you doing instead what are you doing instead of jerking off are you you doing instead of jerking off are you you doing instead of jerking off are you getting yourself out there are you getting yourself out there are you getting yourself out there are you having a conversation are you inviting a having a conversation are you inviting a having a conversation are you inviting a girl to a date and by the way have a girl to a date and by the way have a girl to a date and by the way have a freaking plan that not like you know freaking plan that not like you know freaking plan that not like you know we could maybe hang out sometime buy we could maybe hang out sometime buy we could maybe hang out sometime buy some tickets you when you some tickets you when you some tickets you when you um are frustrated by because you've shut um are frustrated by because you've shut um are frustrated by because you've shut off the easy way and you're ready to off the easy way and you're ready to off the easy way and you're ready to take the difficult way your motivation take the difficult way your motivation take the difficult way your motivation gets more you're like gets more you're like gets more you're like I don't want to do it it is going to so I don't want to do it it is going to so I don't want to do it it is going to so suck to go up to her and say hi I'm Tom suck to go up to her and say hi I'm Tom suck to go up to her and say hi I'm Tom and it shouldn't be hard you know like and it shouldn't be hard you know like and it shouldn't be hard you know like that's my only pickup line James hi I'm that's my only pickup line James hi I'm that's my only pickup line James hi I'm Tom you know Tom you know Tom you know but but but there's two things that happen one is there's two things that happen one is there's two things that happen one is fear of rejection and fear of rejection
1:06fear of rejection and fear of rejection fear of rejection and fear of rejection it kind of sucks but that's not really it kind of sucks but that's not really it kind of sucks but that's not really my problem it's uh fear of success like my problem it's uh fear of success like my problem it's uh fear of success like what if she says yes what am I gonna do what if she says yes what am I gonna do what if she says yes what am I gonna do now like I gotta get dressed I gotta now like I gotta get dressed I gotta now like I gotta get dressed I gotta have a car I get you know like all these have a car I get you know like all these have a car I get you know like all these expectations Yeah Boy the easy way out expectations Yeah Boy the easy way out expectations Yeah Boy the easy way out seems so tempting and when you shut off seems so tempting and when you shut off seems so tempting and when you shut off the easy way out the only thing that's the easy way out the only thing that's the easy way out the only thing that's left is the hard way and so I have left is the hard way and so I have left is the hard way and so I have noticed that I don't know if if women noticed that I don't know if if women noticed that I don't know if if women noticed some kind of pheromone thing but noticed some kind of pheromone thing but noticed some kind of pheromone thing but I do notice I mean I do think they I do notice I mean I do think they I do notice I mean I do think they notice when I talk to them notice when I talk to them notice when I talk to them so I think my behavior has changed so I think my behavior has changed so I think my behavior has changed during those periods it's a it's a during those periods it's a it's a during those periods it's a it's a little bit more of a disciplined little bit more of a disciplined little bit more of a disciplined practice so like if you're the way you practice so like if you're the way you practice so like if you're the way you do one thing is the way you do do one thing is the way you do do one thing is the way you do everything if you're doing everything everything if you're doing everything everything if you're doing everything haphazardly and you're just jerking off haphazardly and you're just jerking off haphazardly and you're just jerking off four times a day and you could have been four times a day and you could have been four times a day and you could have been productive after you do that you're productive after you do that you're productive after you do that you're scrolling on your phone yeah it's like scrolling on your phone yeah it's like scrolling on your phone yeah it's like of course you're gonna have some low of course you're gonna have some low of course you're gonna have some low self-worth some low self-confidence
1:07self-worth some low self-confidence self-worth some low self-confidence there then you start beating yourself up there then you start beating yourself up there then you start beating yourself up why did I do that but you know exactly why did I do that but you know exactly why did I do that but you know exactly why you did that so don't don't even ask why you did that so don't don't even ask why you did that so don't don't even ask these stupid questions you did that these stupid questions you did that these stupid questions you did that because because because the fears and anxieties uh that are the fears and anxieties uh that are the fears and anxieties uh that are associated with doing all the other associated with doing all the other associated with doing all the other stuff stuff stuff are worse I like what you mentioned about I like what you mentioned about um it's not fear of failure it's fear of um it's not fear of failure it's fear of um it's not fear of failure it's fear of success because that's something that's success because that's something that's success because that's something that's come up a lot for me in my life and I come up a lot for me in my life and I come up a lot for me in my life and I feel like it's kind of held me back and feel like it's kind of held me back and feel like it's kind of held me back and it's something that I think about it's it's something that I think about it's it's something that I think about it's like with the podcast what if this thing like with the podcast what if this thing like with the podcast what if this thing blows up and it's getting millions and blows up and it's getting millions and blows up and it's getting millions and millions of views and it's up there with millions of views and it's up there with millions of views and it's up there with Joe Rogan and everyone's like when are Joe Rogan and everyone's like when are Joe Rogan and everyone's like when are you releasing a new episode I'm like you releasing a new episode I'm like you releasing a new episode I'm like that that excites me and and I'm gearing that that excites me and and I'm gearing that that excites me and and I'm gearing more towards allowing that to happen and more towards allowing that to happen and more towards allowing that to happen and receiving that receiving that receiving that but before my main thing was but before my main thing was but before my main thing was damn what could this turn into if if damn what could this turn into if if damn what could this turn into if if this does blow up or if I am successful this does blow up or if I am successful this does blow up or if I am successful in this area of my life then I'm going in this area of my life then I'm going in this area of my life then I'm going to be popular I'm not going to have time to be popular I'm not going to have time to be popular I'm not going to have time to myself anymore it's like to myself anymore it's like to myself anymore it's like you kind of got to live
1:08you kind of got to live you kind of got to live I've got I've got I've got um something I helped myself with I will um something I helped myself with I will um something I helped myself with I will figure that out when I get there figure that out when I get there figure that out when I get there and I just gotta remind myself of that and I just gotta remind myself of that and I just gotta remind myself of that yeah yeah that's probably one of my favorite that's probably one of my favorite that's probably one of my favorite sayings too that's why we're on the show sayings too that's why we're on the show sayings too that's why we're on the show together brother figure it out I don't together brother figure it out I don't together brother figure it out I don't have all the answers exactly we'll have all the answers exactly we'll have all the answers exactly we'll figure it out I don't know is a really figure it out I don't know is a really figure it out I don't know is a really powerful thing powerful thing powerful thing um when you can follow it up with here's um when you can follow it up with here's um when you can follow it up with here's how I would find out or here's who I how I would find out or here's who I how I would find out or here's who I would ask or would ask or would ask or um here's the I don't know what's going um here's the I don't know what's going um here's the I don't know what's going to happen but this is the experiment to happen but this is the experiment to happen but this is the experiment that I want to run so I can uh find out that I want to run so I can uh find out that I want to run so I can uh find out um um I don't know can also be very defensive I don't know can also be very defensive I don't know can also be very defensive I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know um but that's not what I mean I mean I um but that's not what I mean I mean I um but that's not what I mean I mean I don't know as um it's a positive thing don't know as um it's a positive thing don't know as um it's a positive thing it doesn't mean you're ignorant it doesn't mean you're ignorant it doesn't mean you're ignorant and technically you are but it's an I and technically you are but it's an I and technically you are but it's an I don't know that moves you forward that's don't know that moves you forward that's don't know that moves you forward that's something I'm curious about let's find something I'm curious about let's find something I'm curious about let's find that out that out that out yep that's why I got all these books yep that's why I got all these books yep that's why I got all these books back here yeah yeah
1:09back here yeah yeah back here yeah yeah you get more books than I can read at you get more books than I can read at you get more books than I can read at this point man this point man this point man and I do one that's why I like having and I do one that's why I like having and I do one that's why I like having these conversations too because I don't these conversations too because I don't these conversations too because I don't have the answers to everything and learn have the answers to everything and learn have the answers to everything and learn so much being able to communicate with so much being able to communicate with so much being able to communicate with people that do have more experience than people that do have more experience than people that do have more experience than me it's like that's a fast pass too me it's like that's a fast pass too me it's like that's a fast pass too learning learning learning which reminds me what's your son doing which reminds me what's your son doing which reminds me what's your son doing now that he wasn't doing a couple of now that he wasn't doing a couple of now that he wasn't doing a couple of weeks ago oh man he's uh he is eating weeks ago oh man he's uh he is eating weeks ago oh man he's uh he is eating like a monster we went to Puerto Rico like a monster we went to Puerto Rico like a monster we went to Puerto Rico and I gave him a tostone little plantain and I gave him a tostone little plantain and I gave him a tostone little plantain and that was his that was the first time and that was his that was the first time and that was his that was the first time that he ever just not done something that he ever just not done something that he ever just not done something other than mommy's breast and after that other than mommy's breast and after that other than mommy's breast and after that he ate a rib eye fish he had shrimp last he ate a rib eye fish he had shrimp last he ate a rib eye fish he had shrimp last night more steak he loves meat so thank night more steak he loves meat so thank night more steak he loves meat so thank God I'm hungry this is wonderful good God I'm hungry this is wonderful good God I'm hungry this is wonderful good yeah every single time that we eat I cut yeah every single time that we eat I cut yeah every single time that we eat I cut him a little strip of ribeye or whatever him a little strip of ribeye or whatever him a little strip of ribeye or whatever it might be and he's lapping it up so it might be and he's lapping it up so it might be and he's lapping it up so actually since we're on that topic we actually since we're on that topic we actually since we're on that topic we have a book called Baby Led weeding and
1:10have a book called Baby Led weeding and have a book called Baby Led weeding and you got to be able to discern what you you got to be able to discern what you you got to be able to discern what you read in a lot of this book uh these read in a lot of this book uh these read in a lot of this book uh these books too because depends on when it was books too because depends on when it was books too because depends on when it was published yeah stuff in there saying oh published yeah stuff in there saying oh published yeah stuff in there saying oh if it's difficult to get your child to if it's difficult to get your child to if it's difficult to get your child to eat like grain-based stuff like cereals eat like grain-based stuff like cereals eat like grain-based stuff like cereals oats these are things that you should be oats these are things that you should be oats these are things that you should be introducing right away introducing right away introducing right away don't do that yeah and the kids are don't do that yeah and the kids are don't do that yeah and the kids are smart so if you give them a plate and smart so if you give them a plate and smart so if you give them a plate and it's got bread whatever grain based it's got bread whatever grain based it's got bread whatever grain based thing it may be and then it's got fruits thing it may be and then it's got fruits thing it may be and then it's got fruits and then meat and then meat and then meat they're in the problem there is that they're in the problem there is that they're in the problem there is that they're avoiding the grains that are they're avoiding the grains that are they're avoiding the grains that are supposed to be so healthy for us supposed to be so healthy for us supposed to be so healthy for us no the kids telling you no the kids telling you no the kids telling you he doesn't like that stuff and I I was a he doesn't like that stuff and I I was a he doesn't like that stuff and I I was a I was raised on Enfamil I was raised on Enfamil I was raised on Enfamil I'm adopted uh so I didn't have Mama's I'm adopted uh so I didn't have Mama's I'm adopted uh so I didn't have Mama's breast milk and the go-to for me was breast milk and the go-to for me was breast milk and the go-to for me was Enfamil I was quote unquote allergic to Enfamil I was quote unquote allergic to Enfamil I was quote unquote allergic to Enfamil no I wasn't allergic to Enfamil

1:12and um yeah cut them a little piece of ribeye give him the fat off of it see ribeye give him the fat off of it see ribeye give him the fat off of it see how he likes that loves it yeah unless how he likes that loves it yeah unless how he likes that loves it yeah unless he loves it so I'm glad that we don't he loves it so I'm glad that we don't he loves it so I'm glad that we don't have an issue there he loves the meats have an issue there he loves the meats have an issue there he loves the meats and everything like that and yeah people and everything like that and yeah people and everything like that and yeah people you can't fix what you don't know and you can't fix what you don't know and you can't fix what you don't know and people are are I like to believe that people are are I like to believe that people are are I like to believe that they're doing the best to their they're doing the best to their they're doing the best to their knowledge so this information wasn't knowledge so this information wasn't knowledge so this information wasn't available to you in the past now we have available to you in the past now we have available to you in the past now we have things like podcasts and that's the things like podcasts and that's the things like podcasts and that's the reason why I put this type of stuff out reason why I put this type of stuff out reason why I put this type of stuff out there so maybe people like oh I never there so maybe people like oh I never there so maybe people like oh I never thought about this yep I didn't know thought about this yep I didn't know thought about this yep I didn't know that I can prove my erection quality that I can prove my erection quality that I can prove my erection quality through coal plunging and there's a through coal plunging and there's a through coal plunging and there's a caveat the only advice worth taking is caveat the only advice worth taking is caveat the only advice worth taking is this is what worked for me like you this is what worked for me like you this is what worked for me like you don't know if it works for you just don't know if it works for you just don't know if it works for you just because somebody did a scientific study because somebody did a scientific study because somebody did a scientific study and they got a p equals 0.02 or whatever and they got a p equals 0.02 or whatever and they got a p equals 0.02 or whatever the hell you don't know if you are in the hell you don't know if you are in the hell you don't know if you are in the 98 for whom this worked or the two the 98 for whom this worked or the two the 98 for whom this worked or the two percent for whom it just didn't work percent for whom it just didn't work percent for whom it just didn't work science isn't proof the only thing science isn't proof the only thing science isn't proof the only thing that's proof is your n equals one that's proof is your n equals one that's proof is your n equals one experience so you hear something that experience so you hear something that experience so you hear something that worked well for someone else and you say
1:13worked well for someone else and you say worked well for someone else and you say you know what I have a lot in common you know what I have a lot in common you know what I have a lot in common there there there I'll give that a try if it doesn't work I'll give that a try if it doesn't work I'll give that a try if it doesn't work then don't do it you have to try out all then don't do it you have to try out all then don't do it you have to try out all the things that you hear for yourself the things that you hear for yourself the things that you hear for yourself and your own context on your own body or and your own context on your own body or and your own context on your own body or with your own child and see what works with your own child and see what works with your own child and see what works for you I do think that you can learn from other I do think that you can learn from other people though other people absolutely people though other people absolutely people though other people absolutely you learn a series of experiments that you learn a series of experiments that you learn a series of experiments that you and you prioritize this experiment you and you prioritize this experiment you and you prioritize this experiment you say oh that worked for James that's you say oh that worked for James that's you say oh that worked for James that's an instructive story right there I want an instructive story right there I want an instructive story right there I want more of what James has I'm going to try more of what James has I'm going to try more of what James has I'm going to try some of those things in my life and if some of those things in my life and if some of those things in my life and if they don't work then don't do them talk they don't work then don't do them talk they don't work then don't do them talk to more people who you admire whom have to more people who you admire whom have to more people who you admire whom have success whom you might want to emulate success whom you might want to emulate success whom you might want to emulate but everybody is an individual at but everybody is an individual at but everybody is an individual at different paths in their life in different paths in their life in different paths in their life in different places in their life and just different places in their life and just different places in their life and just because something worked over here that because something worked over here that because something worked over here that didn't work for you that doesn't make didn't work for you that doesn't make didn't work for you that doesn't make you a failure it doesn't mean you did it you a failure it doesn't mean you did it you a failure it doesn't mean you did it wrong it means it didn't work for you wrong it means it didn't work for you wrong it means it didn't work for you a lot of us will carry these
1:14a lot of us will carry these a lot of us will carry these dysfunctional behaviors and somehow we dysfunctional behaviors and somehow we dysfunctional behaviors and somehow we will feel better if we can convince will feel better if we can convince will feel better if we can convince other people to adopt the same crappy other people to adopt the same crappy other people to adopt the same crappy dysfunctional behaviors and nobody stops dysfunctional behaviors and nobody stops dysfunctional behaviors and nobody stops to say how well is that working for you to say how well is that working for you to say how well is that working for you except I guess Dr Phil you know he's except I guess Dr Phil you know he's except I guess Dr Phil you know he's how's that working for you and then how's that working for you and then how's that working for you and then everything stops and people go well I everything stops and people go well I everything stops and people go well I guess it isn't working for me guess it isn't working for me guess it isn't working for me the only advice that's worth taking is the only advice that's worth taking is the only advice that's worth taking is someone whom you admire who says when I someone whom you admire who says when I someone whom you admire who says when I was in a similar situation as you I did was in a similar situation as you I did was in a similar situation as you I did this and it worked out like that this and it worked out like that this and it worked out like that I suppose it's also good to take advice I suppose it's also good to take advice I suppose it's also good to take advice like this is what didn't work for me like this is what didn't work for me like this is what didn't work for me when I told the cop off on the side of when I told the cop off on the side of when I told the cop off on the side of the road that didn't work out too well the road that didn't work out too well the road that didn't work out too well for you know that's just an example so for you know that's just an example so for you know that's just an example so what did or didn't work when they were what did or didn't work when they were what did or didn't work when they were in analogous situation and then you run in analogous situation and then you run in analogous situation and then you run an experiment you don't you don't take an experiment you don't you don't take an experiment you don't you don't take advice so much as you try advice and you advice so much as you try advice and you advice so much as you try advice and you say well that worked out for you I guess
1:15say well that worked out for you I guess say well that worked out for you I guess I'm going to do more of that I guess I'm I'm going to do more of that I guess I'm I'm going to do more of that I guess I'm going to adapt that into my own practice going to adapt that into my own practice going to adapt that into my own practice and I'm thinking about you as a trainer and I'm thinking about you as a trainer and I'm thinking about you as a trainer everybody's body is a little bit everybody's body is a little bit everybody's body is a little bit different you might say well these are different you might say well these are different you might say well these are the kinds of things that have worked but the kinds of things that have worked but the kinds of things that have worked but if you sense that it's not working for if you sense that it's not working for if you sense that it's not working for one of your clients or or it needs to be one of your clients or or it needs to be one of your clients or or it needs to be adapted for their body adapted for their body adapted for their body and adapted everybody's different and adapted everybody's different and adapted everybody's different you got to Pivot sometimes and you got to Pivot sometimes and you got to Pivot sometimes and to your earlier Point like you were to your earlier Point like you were to your earlier Point like you were doing the best your abilities with the doing the best your abilities with the doing the best your abilities with the foods and such we've kind of been just foods and such we've kind of been just foods and such we've kind of been just like thread into this dysfunctional like thread into this dysfunctional like thread into this dysfunctional Society so uh generation after Society so uh generation after Society so uh generation after generation we just have no idea of what generation we just have no idea of what generation we just have no idea of what the truth actually is and we're kind of the truth actually is and we're kind of the truth actually is and we're kind of just living in this whole Matrix system just living in this whole Matrix system just living in this whole Matrix system so the the things that helped me that so the the things that helped me that so the the things that helped me that when I started to zoom out a little bit when I started to zoom out a little bit when I started to zoom out a little bit because you can't see the picture when because you can't see the picture when because you can't see the picture when you're in you can't see the bigger you're in you can't see the bigger you're in you can't see the bigger picture when you're actually in it so picture when you're actually in it so picture when you're actually in it so this thing on topic with the whole
1:16this thing on topic with the whole this thing on topic with the whole erectile dysfunction I told you that I erectile dysfunction I told you that I erectile dysfunction I told you that I would tell you this story in the podcast would tell you this story in the podcast would tell you this story in the podcast I would personally stay away from Viagra I would personally stay away from Viagra I would personally stay away from Viagra if you are in your mid-20s or honestly I if you are in your mid-20s or honestly I if you are in your mid-20s or honestly I think that you can fix it through think that you can fix it through think that you can fix it through natural means like I did things that natural means like I did things that natural means like I did things that helped me personally were getting out of helped me personally were getting out of helped me personally were getting out of the compression tights uh cold exposure the compression tights uh cold exposure the compression tights uh cold exposure definitely reducing my carbohydrate definitely reducing my carbohydrate definitely reducing my carbohydrate intake I did keto for about three years intake I did keto for about three years intake I did keto for about three years and then I tried out some and then I tried out some and then I tried out some um Pro metabolic diet which I thought um Pro metabolic diet which I thought um Pro metabolic diet which I thought was honestly crap it's a lot of carbs to was honestly crap it's a lot of carbs to was honestly crap it's a lot of carbs to me Orange Let's do work for you yeah and me Orange Let's do work for you yeah and me Orange Let's do work for you yeah and and now I'm back to keto and I I love it and now I'm back to keto and I I love it and now I'm back to keto and I I love it I feel good on the fats I feel good on I feel good on the fats I feel good on I feel good on the fats I feel good on moderate protein moderate protein moderate protein um getting Sun um getting Sun um getting Sun and getting much better sleep I reduced and getting much better sleep I reduced and getting much better sleep I reduced caffeine so the whole reason caffeine so the whole reason caffeine so the whole reason well I went through the Viagra out was well I went through the Viagra out was well I went through the Viagra out was because I was doing something completely because I was doing something completely because I was doing something completely opposite I was eating things like Ben opposite I was eating things like Ben opposite I was eating things like Ben and Jerry's I was in the compression and Jerry's I was in the compression and Jerry's I was in the compression tights I was sweating all day in them I tights I was sweating all day in them I tights I was sweating all day in them I wasn't getting very good sleep I had

1:20good fortune or or what um because it's good fortune or or what um because it's not like I've been doing ice baths my not like I've been doing ice baths my not like I've been doing ice baths my whole life and it's not like I've eaten whole life and it's not like I've eaten whole life and it's not like I've eaten great my whole life um I used to weigh great my whole life um I used to weigh great my whole life um I used to weigh 250 pounds I'm barely six feet tall like 250 pounds I'm barely six feet tall like 250 pounds I'm barely six feet tall like um I haven't been in great shape so um I haven't been in great shape so um I haven't been in great shape so um I don't know that like my personal um I don't know that like my personal um I don't know that like my personal experience uh is all that transferable I experience uh is all that transferable I experience uh is all that transferable I wish that I had a greater range of wish that I had a greater range of wish that I had a greater range of personal experiences I could write personal experiences I could write personal experiences I could write better articles for it instead I have to better articles for it instead I have to better articles for it instead I have to talk to more people and do more talk to more people and do more talk to more people and do more interviews and incorporate uh their interviews and incorporate uh their interviews and incorporate uh their stories into it stories into it stories into it I'm not giving up the ice bath though uh I'm not giving up the ice bath though uh I'm not giving up the ice bath though uh you know now because I said so I've got you know now because I said so I've got you know now because I said so I've got this girlfriend I care about a lot she's this girlfriend I care about a lot she's this girlfriend I care about a lot she's 13 years younger than me well 13 years younger than me well 13 years younger than me well I wanna I wanna I wanna age as gracefully as I can and now that age as gracefully as I can and now that age as gracefully as I can and now that I know more about metabolism and I know more about metabolism and I know more about metabolism and mitochondria and I know that aging is is mitochondria and I know that aging is is mitochondria and I know that aging is is driven by mitochondrial degradation I'm
1:21driven by mitochondrial degradation I'm driven by mitochondrial degradation I'm doing everything I can to take care of doing everything I can to take care of doing everything I can to take care of them that includes magnesium it includes them that includes magnesium it includes them that includes magnesium it includes the ice baths it includes going in and the ice baths it includes going in and the ice baths it includes going in and out of keto saladino is really good on out of keto saladino is really good on out of keto saladino is really good on this he wrote the carnivore code and this he wrote the carnivore code and this he wrote the carnivore code and then he put fruit in his diet he's no then he put fruit in his diet he's no then he put fruit in his diet he's no longer carnivore longer carnivore longer carnivore um and he's got really good reasons for um and he's got really good reasons for um and he's got really good reasons for it it's always whole fruit he's down in it it's always whole fruit he's down in it it's always whole fruit he's down in Costa Rica and I don't know about those Costa Rica and I don't know about those Costa Rica and I don't know about those tropical fruits for me but there's tropical fruits for me but there's tropical fruits for me but there's blueberries in my fridge it's July I blueberries in my fridge it's July I blueberries in my fridge it's July I should be eating blueberries we're not should be eating blueberries we're not should be eating blueberries we're not meant to be in keto all the time because meant to be in keto all the time because meant to be in keto all the time because if you can work seasonal fruits in I if you can work seasonal fruits in I if you can work seasonal fruits in I think that's probably good for your think that's probably good for your think that's probably good for your metabolism too metabolism too metabolism too yeah I did notice a little bit benefit yeah I did notice a little bit benefit yeah I did notice a little bit benefit when I would do a little bit more when I would do a little bit more when I would do a little bit more cycling or throw some carbs into instead cycling or throw some carbs into instead cycling or throw some carbs into instead of staying always in ketosis or always of staying always in ketosis or always of staying always in ketosis or always high fat moderate protein high fat moderate protein high fat moderate protein there are sometimes um you know I like there are sometimes um you know I like there are sometimes um you know I like my flax grains and there's some seeds my flax grains and there's some seeds my flax grains and there's some seeds that I like to eat and when it's fall that I like to eat and when it's fall that I like to eat and when it's fall it's harvest time I'm like ah Tom
1:22it's harvest time I'm like ah Tom it's harvest time I'm like ah Tom I have a have some grains like this is I have a have some grains like this is I have a have some grains like this is the time when people would gather the the time when people would gather the the time when people would gather the seeds and um maybe that's just a seeds and um maybe that's just a seeds and um maybe that's just a rationalization because sometimes the rationalization because sometimes the rationalization because sometimes the carbs taste so good carbs taste so good carbs taste so good so I'll go in and out so I'll go in and out so I'll go in and out yeah it's hard to get off the train once yeah it's hard to get off the train once yeah it's hard to get off the train once you get on it but I do think there is you get on it but I do think there is you get on it but I do think there is some some some logic there where it's like all right logic there where it's like all right logic there where it's like all right we'll we would have carbohydrates in we'll we would have carbohydrates in we'll we would have carbohydrates in abundance during certain times so all abundance during certain times so all abundance during certain times so all right we can load up on those and then right we can load up on those and then right we can load up on those and then we would if we do load on some body fat we would if we do load on some body fat we would if we do load on some body fat well now we have some energy throughout well now we have some energy throughout well now we have some energy throughout the winter when we do not have those the winter when we do not have those the winter when we do not have those available to us yep that's when you're available to us yep that's when you're available to us yep that's when you're eating the fish eating the fish eating the fish and uh for me it would be cheese and and uh for me it would be cheese and and uh for me it would be cheese and other Dairy that's not right for other Dairy that's not right for other Dairy that's not right for everybody but sort of would be for me awesome time well I I think these awesome time well I I think these discussions need to happen more often discussions need to happen more often discussions need to happen more often and after our last correspondence I I and after our last correspondence I I and after our last correspondence I I was actually thinking is like yeah you was actually thinking is like yeah you was actually thinking is like yeah you said you like to talk more often should said you like to talk more often should said you like to talk more often should make it almost like a regular thing make it almost like a regular thing make it almost like a regular thing where it's like
1:23where it's like where it's like yep lots of time go write another yep lots of time go write another yep lots of time go write another article we'll talk about that
