00:00hello everyone it is Jeff Sidman and hello everyone it is Jeff Sidman and welcome to optimizing welcome to optimizing welcome to optimizing aging and as usual I have my co-hosts aging and as usual I have my co-hosts aging and as usual I have my co-hosts Drew Avery and Brad wadell we are all Drew Avery and Brad wadell we are all Drew Avery and Brad wadell we are all three the 1997 body of work co- three the 1997 body of work co- three the 1997 body of work co- Champions and today we're going to start Champions and today we're going to start Champions and today we're going to start off our talk by talking about fat loss off our talk by talking about fat loss off our talk by talking about fat loss and we're going to go into more detail and we're going to go into more detail and we're going to go into more detail on Fat Loss because 95% of the on Fat Loss because 95% of the on Fat Loss because 95% of the population over 40 years old is population over 40 years old is population over 40 years old is overweight and approximately 75% of the overweight and approximately 75% of the overweight and approximately 75% of the population over 40 years old is obese so population over 40 years old is obese so population over 40 years old is obese so we know that is the number one problem we know that is the number one problem we know that is the number one problem facing the majority of the population facing the majority of the population facing the majority of the population for people our age again I'm 63 years for people our age again I'm 63 years for people our age again I'm 63 years old Drew is 61 and Brad is 55 so if old Drew is 61 and Brad is 55 so if old Drew is 61 and Brad is 55 so if you're a more mature individual you can you're a more mature individual you can you're a more mature individual you can relate to what we're doing so we're relate to what we're doing so we're relate to what we're doing so we're going to start off with Drew so Drew I'd going to start off with Drew so Drew I'd going to start off with Drew so Drew I'd like you to talk about very specific like you to talk about very specific like you to talk about very specific details about what you did to lose such details about what you did to lose such details about what you did to lose such an extraordinary amount of body fat in
01:00an extraordinary amount of body fat in an extraordinary amount of body fat in such a short period of such a short period of such a short period of time well okay good to be here Jeff and time well okay good to be here Jeff and time well okay good to be here Jeff and um yeah I wanted to break this um my fat um yeah I wanted to break this um my fat um yeah I wanted to break this um my fat loss strategy into a couple categories loss strategy into a couple categories loss strategy into a couple categories at least and one was what I did at least and one was what I did at least and one was what I did originally um for the contest and originally um for the contest and originally um for the contest and ultimately what I transitioned to more ultimately what I transitioned to more ultimately what I transitioned to more of a long-term play for fat loss and of a long-term play for fat loss and of a long-term play for fat loss and maintenance and when I started the maintenance and when I started the maintenance and when I started the contest um I I think the the pro profile contest um I I think the the pro profile contest um I I think the the pro profile would have been something along the would have been something along the would have been something along the lines of 50% protein 30% carbs 20% fat lines of 50% protein 30% carbs 20% fat lines of 50% protein 30% carbs 20% fat uh generally speaking uh and um because uh generally speaking uh and um because uh generally speaking uh and um because and how manyal how many approximately and how manyal how many approximately and how manyal how many approximately how many calories was that well how many calories was that well how many calories was that well initially because I was trying to cut initially because I was trying to cut initially because I was trying to cut the fat I wasn't necessarily in a the fat I wasn't necessarily in a the fat I wasn't necessarily in a bulking stage but I'd say that would be bulking stage but I'd say that would be bulking stage but I'd say that would be on uh it was right around uh 2,000 on uh it was right around uh 2,000 on uh it was right around uh 2,000 calories I think at the time it wasn't a calories I think at the time it wasn't a calories I think at the time it wasn't a mendous amount about 2,000
02:00mendous amount about 2,000 mendous amount about 2,000 calories um and again noting for fat calories um and again noting for fat calories um and again noting for fat loss if it was a bulking stage it would loss if it was a bulking stage it would loss if it was a bulking stage it would have been more calories but and and I have been more calories but and and I have been more calories but and and I want to interrupt one more time but but want to interrupt one more time but but want to interrupt one more time but but it's also 2,000 calories based on you it's also 2,000 calories based on you it's also 2,000 calories based on you doing intense exercise so if you weren't doing intense exercise so if you weren't doing intense exercise so if you weren't doing the intense exercise it would have doing the intense exercise it would have doing the intense exercise it would have been a lower amount of calories but been a lower amount of calories but been a lower amount of calories but anyways yes true absolutely good point anyways yes true absolutely good point anyways yes true absolutely good point and so what I found though with that uh and so what I found though with that uh and so what I found though with that uh approach was I was having to do more approach was I was having to do more approach was I was having to do more cardio and as we've talked in the past cardio and as we've talked in the past cardio and as we've talked in the past couple of uh times we've been together I couple of uh times we've been together I couple of uh times we've been together I did a fair amount of cardio Brad didn't did a fair amount of cardio Brad didn't did a fair amount of cardio Brad didn't I did um as and there was times I was a I did um as and there was times I was a I did um as and there was times I was a doing cardio twice a day I found that doing cardio twice a day I found that doing cardio twice a day I found that with the diet using the carbs um or with the diet using the carbs um or with the diet using the carbs um or implementing carbs I had to do the implementing carbs I had to do the implementing carbs I had to do the cardio but I also found that I it it did cardio but I also found that I it it did cardio but I also found that I it it did better in terms of a muscle pump um even better in terms of a muscle pump um even better in terms of a muscle pump um even uh I just felt better um with that with uh I just felt better um with that with uh I just felt better um with that with that combination ation however uh about
03:00that combination ation however uh about that combination ation however uh about the last week to week and a half I would the last week to week and a half I would the last week to week and a half I would transition to more of a keto very low transition to more of a keto very low transition to more of a keto very low carb approach um and maintaining that carb approach um and maintaining that carb approach um and maintaining that cardio and so it really would pull down cardio and so it really would pull down cardio and so it really would pull down the fat hard on that last week with that the fat hard on that last week with that the fat hard on that last week with that um balancing act that you do when you um balancing act that you do when you um balancing act that you do when you have that hard gain muscle and you're have that hard gain muscle and you're have that hard gain muscle and you're trying to get that fat loss you don't trying to get that fat loss you don't trying to get that fat loss you don't want to dig into that hard gain muscle want to dig into that hard gain muscle want to dig into that hard gain muscle so is there kind of a uh a fine line so is there kind of a uh a fine line so is there kind of a uh a fine line there there there but typically I had to go more of a keto but typically I had to go more of a keto but typically I had to go more of a keto style approach that last week really to style approach that last week really to style approach that last week really to dig into that last layer La last little dig into that last layer La last little dig into that last layer La last little bit around the waist to get that bit around the waist to get that bit around the waist to get that six-pack really in six-pack really in six-pack really in now uh I found though long term I didn't now uh I found though long term I didn't now uh I found though long term I didn't want to be doing that much cardio um and want to be doing that much cardio um and want to be doing that much cardio um and so as I transitioned to more what I so as I transitioned to more what I so as I transitioned to more what I consider to be a maintenance phase uh my consider to be a maintenance phase uh my consider to be a maintenance phase uh my body did well with low carb and when I body did well with low carb and when I body did well with low carb and when I say low carb I would classify that is
04:00say low carb I would classify that is say low carb I would classify that is really keto approach but we would also really keto approach but we would also really keto approach but we would also know it as know it as know it as paleo and I actually uh before they paleo and I actually uh before they paleo and I actually uh before they called it the carnivore diet I called it the carnivore diet I called it the carnivore diet I experimented a little with that only experimented a little with that only experimented a little with that only because I felt like because I felt like because I felt like um the meat um the meat um the meat products uh and fat allowed me to really products uh and fat allowed me to really products uh and fat allowed me to really not calorie count at all so I was just not calorie count at all so I was just not calorie count at all so I was just eating to satisfy my Hunger without any eating to satisfy my Hunger without any eating to satisfy my Hunger without any real concern about getting insulin spot real concern about getting insulin spot real concern about getting insulin spot likes um causing fat gain and it kept me likes um causing fat gain and it kept me likes um causing fat gain and it kept me in a in a really lean State I was having in a in a really lean State I was having in a in a really lean State I was having to do little or no cardio and still to do little or no cardio and still to do little or no cardio and still maintaining um low body fat and low body maintaining um low body fat and low body maintaining um low body fat and low body fat I Define as eight to 10 you know fat I Define as eight to 10 you know fat I Define as eight to 10 you know kind of hovering in that area and if I kind of hovering in that area and if I kind of hovering in that area and if I ever needed to get ready for something I ever needed to get ready for something I ever needed to get ready for something I I could dial it in very quickly and give I could dial it in very quickly and give I could dial it in very quickly and give myself a couple of weeks so I was always myself a couple of weeks so I was always myself a couple of weeks so I was always kind of within range of a a photo shoot kind of within range of a a photo shoot kind of within range of a a photo shoot or something during that time
05:00or something during that time or something during that time [Music] [Music] [Music] um what I'm what I found though is uh if um what I'm what I found though is uh if um what I'm what I found though is uh if I did keto or a Paleo uh it was I did keto or a Paleo uh it was I did keto or a Paleo uh it was important that um I was important that um I was important that um I was including uh salads not necessarily including uh salads not necessarily including uh salads not necessarily starchy carbohydrates like rice and starchy carbohydrates like rice and starchy carbohydrates like rice and bread and pasta eliminating that but bread and pasta eliminating that but bread and pasta eliminating that but really focusing on uh vegetables salads really focusing on uh vegetables salads really focusing on uh vegetables salads and a meat or protein source that worked and a meat or protein source that worked and a meat or protein source that worked very well for me and it it almost very well for me and it it almost very well for me and it it almost eliminated my need for cardio uh and eliminated my need for cardio uh and eliminated my need for cardio uh and I'll wrap this up so we can get on to I'll wrap this up so we can get on to I'll wrap this up so we can get on to Brad but I found that in the long term Brad but I found that in the long term Brad but I found that in the long term though when they started really start though when they started really start though when they started really start studying what keto and this paleo kind studying what keto and this paleo kind studying what keto and this paleo kind of approach is doing even though it many of approach is doing even though it many of approach is doing even though it many people do well with people do well with people do well with it there are some long-term health it there are some long-term health it there are some long-term health effects that you really have to take in effects that you really have to take in effects that you really have to take in consideration cancer being one of them consideration cancer being one of them consideration cancer being one of them you know you're keeping your body in a you know you're keeping your body in a you know you're keeping your body in a very acidic state so um I've moved away very acidic state so um I've moved away very acidic state so um I've moved away from the keto approach
06:00from the keto approach from the keto approach uh and tried to balance it out between uh and tried to balance it out between uh and tried to balance it out between uh moderate car starchy carbohydrates uh moderate car starchy carbohydrates uh moderate car starchy carbohydrates more salads more vegetables and a more salads more vegetables and a more salads more vegetables and a moderate amount of moderate amount of moderate amount of protein um so so I just have a couple protein um so so I just have a couple protein um so so I just have a couple questions for you oh I have a couple questions for you oh I have a couple questions for you oh I have a couple questions for you before we move on to questions for you before we move on to questions for you before we move on to Brad so can you tell uh go into more Brad so can you tell uh go into more Brad so can you tell uh go into more specifics about you said 50% protein uh specifics about you said 50% protein uh specifics about you said 50% protein uh out of a 2,000 calorie a day diet but out of a 2,000 calorie a day diet but out of a 2,000 calorie a day diet but what were your specific proteins you ate what were your specific proteins you ate what were your specific proteins you ate and what were your specific and what were your specific and what were your specific carbohydrates and what were your carbohydrates and what were your carbohydrates and what were your specific fats well okay so um as it if specific fats well okay so um as it if specific fats well okay so um as it if we go into contest mode then that was we go into contest mode then that was we go into contest mode then that was basically CH uh chicken and basically CH uh chicken and basically CH uh chicken and fish starchy carbs was typically uh yams fish starchy carbs was typically uh yams fish starchy carbs was typically uh yams or sweet potatoes or brown or sweet potatoes or brown or sweet potatoes or brown rice and um as far as the fats go um rice and um as far as the fats go um rice and um as far as the fats go um I I don't know I think as because I'm
07:00I I don't know I think as because I'm I I don't know I think as because I'm thinking back on this yeah I I remember thinking back on this yeah I I remember thinking back on this yeah I I remember I was even supplementing with some I was even supplementing with some I was even supplementing with some Omega-3s uh just to make sure I had Omega-3s uh just to make sure I had Omega-3s uh just to make sure I had enough fat I wasn't eating a lot of fat enough fat I wasn't eating a lot of fat enough fat I wasn't eating a lot of fat per se oh you know the other thing I per se oh you know the other thing I per se oh you know the other thing I haden't even thought about I was I haden't even thought about I was I haden't even thought about I was I stayed away from dairy during that time stayed away from dairy during that time stayed away from dairy during that time entire time no Dairy so entire time no Dairy so entire time no Dairy so um I'm just trying to think I really um I'm just trying to think I really um I'm just trying to think I really didn't if I remember correctly I did um didn't if I remember correctly I did um didn't if I remember correctly I did um even add some olive oil to get up to even add some olive oil to get up to even add some olive oil to get up to that uh you know 20% uh that uh you know 20% uh that uh you know 20% uh fat but I wasn't really specifically fat but I wasn't really specifically fat but I wasn't really specifically eating fat it was just whatever I could eating fat it was just whatever I could eating fat it was just whatever I could get on maybe if I didn't do a chicken get on maybe if I didn't do a chicken get on maybe if I didn't do a chicken breast I might do a thigh but primarily breast I might do a thigh but primarily breast I might do a thigh but primarily I think the Cs to focus on that worked I think the Cs to focus on that worked I think the Cs to focus on that worked well for me is brown rice but I loved well for me is brown rice but I loved well for me is brown rice but I loved yams oh but when you went into the the yams oh but when you went into the the yams oh but when you went into the the re go ahead yeah but when you went into re go ahead yeah but when you went into re go ahead yeah but when you went into the real cutting phase trying to get the real cutting phase trying to get the real cutting phase trying to get your body fat you know as low as your body fat you know as low as your body fat you know as low as possible get shredded that's when you possible get shredded that's when you possible get shredded that's when you stopped the yams you stopped the rice
08:00stopped the yams you stopped the rice stopped the yams you stopped the rice and you went into fibrous low calorie and you went into fibrous low calorie and you went into fibrous low calorie nutrient-rich vegetables absolutely yes nutrient-rich vegetables absolutely yes nutrient-rich vegetables absolutely yes I found that that that worked well that I found that that that worked well that I found that that that worked well that was enough carbohydrate to sustain me uh was enough carbohydrate to sustain me uh was enough carbohydrate to sustain me uh but not so much that it was disrupting but not so much that it was disrupting but not so much that it was disrupting my fat my fat my fat loss okay okay that was good I think loss okay okay that was good I think loss okay okay that was good I think it's healthier by the way I think it's it's healthier by the way I think it's it's healthier by the way I think it's just healthier you know you should be just healthier you know you should be just healthier you know you should be eating the vegetables you're just not g eating the vegetables you're just not g eating the vegetables you're just not g to get some things just from the to get some things just from the to get some things just from the meat it is so Brad uh basically the same meat it is so Brad uh basically the same meat it is so Brad uh basically the same question you know uh can you go into question you know uh can you go into question you know uh can you go into detail about what you did because both detail about what you did because both detail about what you did because both you guys uh did incredible and if you guys uh did incredible and if you guys uh did incredible and if anybody goes back and looks at the anybody goes back and looks at the anybody goes back and looks at the pictures they'll see you guys went from pictures they'll see you guys went from pictures they'll see you guys went from I don't know you guys were probably I don't know you guys were probably I don't know you guys were probably between 25 and 30% body fat and you went between 25 and 30% body fat and you went between 25 and 30% body fat and you went down to singled digit body fat in 12 down to singled digit body fat in 12 down to singled digit body fat in 12 weeks and so what you guys did anybody weeks and so what you guys did anybody weeks and so what you guys did anybody can do it and they will experience very can do it and they will experience very can do it and they will experience very similar results it doesn't matter what similar results it doesn't matter what similar results it doesn't matter what their metabolism is or even their their metabolism is or even their their metabolism is or even their genetics you follow that same protocol genetics you follow that same protocol genetics you follow that same protocol you're going to get very similar results
09:00you're going to get very similar results you're going to get very similar results but you guys also I will say especially but you guys also I will say especially but you guys also I will say especially with the aid of the competition doing with the aid of the competition doing with the aid of the competition doing the contest at Lamborghini um you guys the contest at Lamborghini um you guys the contest at Lamborghini um you guys did this 100% not 99% and so did this 100% not 99% and so did this 100% not 99% and so right yeah so uh brand so if you go into right yeah so uh brand so if you go into right yeah so uh brand so if you go into detail about your uh nutrition following detail about your uh nutrition following detail about your uh nutrition following uh doing the uh doing the uh doing the plan yeah um so what I did was um and plan yeah um so what I did was um and plan yeah um so what I did was um and and we're talking about just to get and we're talking about just to get and we're talking about just to get shredded and and lose fat I did five to shredded and and lose fat I did five to shredded and and lose fat I did five to six meals per day and I didn't and I six meals per day and I didn't and I six meals per day and I didn't and I didn't necessarily count my calories I didn't necessarily count my calories I didn't necessarily count my calories I didn't have them I didn't have it didn't have them I didn't have it didn't have them I didn't have it counted out to the uh to the exact gram counted out to the uh to the exact gram counted out to the uh to the exact gram or um but what I did do was I would eat or um but what I did do was I would eat or um but what I did do was I would eat the same pretty much the same thing the same pretty much the same thing the same pretty much the same thing every day i' would have uh egg whites every day i' would have uh egg whites every day i' would have uh egg whites and oatmeal in the morning and then my and oatmeal in the morning and then my and oatmeal in the morning and then my next three meals would be uh but but so next three meals would be uh but but so next three meals would be uh but but so so go into a little more detail how many so go into a little more detail how many so go into a little more detail how many egg whites and how much opial okay so it egg whites and how much opial okay so it egg whites and how much opial okay so it have like six egg whites and u a cup of
10:00have like six egg whites and u a cup of have like six egg whites and u a cup of oatmeal and uh nothing just plain oatmeal and uh nothing just plain oatmeal and uh nothing just plain oatmeal no no sugar nothing on it I I oatmeal no no sugar nothing on it I I oatmeal no no sugar nothing on it I I kept everything pretty bland and and uh kept everything pretty bland and and uh kept everything pretty bland and and uh and then uh my 9 o'clock 12 o'clock and and then uh my 9 o'clock 12 o'clock and and then uh my 9 o'clock 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock the next three meals would be 3 o'clock the next three meals would be 3 o'clock the next three meals would be one small chicken breast four to six one small chicken breast four to six one small chicken breast four to six ounces um a handful of rice and mixed ounces um a handful of rice and mixed ounces um a handful of rice and mixed vegetables Frozen mixed vegetables or vegetables Frozen mixed vegetables or vegetables Frozen mixed vegetables or spinach something like that and uh come spinach something like that and uh come spinach something like that and uh come home before and then my last two meals home before and then my last two meals home before and then my last two meals would be sometimes not always I'd eat would be sometimes not always I'd eat would be sometimes not always I'd eat I'd have a protein shake like the my I'd have a protein shake like the my I'd have a protein shake like the my Plex shakes what I did back then um and Plex shakes what I did back then um and Plex shakes what I did back then um and then at night I would have six to eight then at night I would have six to eight then at night I would have six to eight egg whites scrambled up and then that egg whites scrambled up and then that egg whites scrambled up and then that would be that would be it so what I would be that would be it so what I would be that would be it so what I would do is I'd cut my carbohydrates out would do is I'd cut my carbohydrates out would do is I'd cut my carbohydrates out at at at at at at nighttime and um and then I would just nighttime and um and then I would just nighttime and um and then I would just judge it and you can tell if you're if judge it and you can tell if you're if judge it and you can tell if you're if if you're if you're in a state of losing if you're if you're in a state of losing if you're if you're in a state of losing fat I could always tell and if I and if
11:00fat I could always tell and if I and if fat I could always tell and if I and if I wasn't what I would do is I'd simply I wasn't what I would do is I'd simply I wasn't what I would do is I'd simply just take a little bit you know just just take a little bit you know just just take a little bit you know just just a small bit out of each little just a small bit out of each little just a small bit out of each little thing that I ate and um so and and then thing that I ate and um so and and then thing that I ate and um so and and then you know you can I just always stayed on you know you can I just always stayed on you know you can I just always stayed on track like that and I think another track like that and I think another track like that and I think another thing is that's really important if you thing is that's really important if you thing is that's really important if you really want to lose as much fat as really want to lose as much fat as really want to lose as much fat as possible is to is hydration I think it possible is to is hydration I think it possible is to is hydration I think it gets overlooked a little bit but with gets overlooked a little bit but with gets overlooked a little bit but with hydration if what I would do and people hydration if what I would do and people hydration if what I would do and people laugh at this now but I I would get I laugh at this now but I I would get I laugh at this now but I I would get I get and I still do it today I get a a get and I still do it today I get a a get and I still do it today I get a a one gallon jug um of water and I'll one gallon jug um of water and I'll one gallon jug um of water and I'll start full in the morning and then um start full in the morning and then um start full in the morning and then um keep drink just drink on it all day keep drink just drink on it all day keep drink just drink on it all day until and until it's gone that way you until and until it's gone that way you until and until it's gone that way you can you can uh um you know track your can you can uh um you know track your can you can uh um you know track your progress like that so there's just a lot progress like that so there's just a lot progress like that so there's just a lot of things with hydration you know your of things with hydration you know your of things with hydration you know your body just runs more efficiently when body just runs more efficiently when body just runs more efficiently when you're hydrated um allows your kidney you're hydrated um allows your kidney you're hydrated um allows your kidney needs to uh process and get rid of the
12:00needs to uh process and get rid of the needs to uh process and get rid of the toxins which frees up your liver to uh toxins which frees up your liver to uh toxins which frees up your liver to uh you know help break down fat and U yeah you know help break down fat and U yeah you know help break down fat and U yeah hydration nutrition and like you and hydration nutrition and like you and hydration nutrition and like you and what I would think the the three biggest what I would think the the three biggest what I would think the the three biggest things for fat loss if you want to boil things for fat loss if you want to boil things for fat loss if you want to boil it down and make it simple you know I it down and make it simple you know I it down and make it simple you know I think you got number three think you got number three think you got number three dehydration you know you got to stay dehydration you know you got to stay dehydration you know you got to stay hydrated like I I said and U be in a hydrated like I I said and U be in a hydrated like I I said and U be in a constant state of hydration be number constant state of hydration be number constant state of hydration be number three number two of course your three number two of course your three number two of course your nutrition right yeah you you've got to nutrition right yeah you you've got to nutrition right yeah you you've got to eat a nutrient dense well well balanced eat a nutrient dense well well balanced eat a nutrient dense well well balanced diet I think that's number two you know diet I think that's number two you know diet I think that's number two you know that'd be number three and number two that'd be number three and number two that'd be number three and number two they're important but probably not the they're important but probably not the they're important but probably not the most important thing but when it comes most important thing but when it comes most important thing but when it comes down to Fat Loss um I think the number down to Fat Loss um I think the number down to Fat Loss um I think the number one most important aspect of that is is one most important aspect of that is is one most important aspect of that is is how determined are you you you got to be how determined are you you you got to be how determined are you you you got to be determined like you said Jee you know we determined like you said Jee you know we determined like you said Jee you know we didn't do it at 99 % we did it at
13:00didn't do it at 99 % we did it at didn't do it at 99 % we did it at 100% And for for me that's that's the 100% And for for me that's that's the 100% And for for me that's that's the that's the three things there yeah and that's the three things there yeah and that's the three things there yeah and and like uh Drew and like just like Drew and like uh Drew and like just like Drew and like uh Drew and like just like Drew I stayed completely away from Dar so so oh you know Drew regarding the so oh you know Drew regarding the hydration did you focus on that that's hydration did you focus on that that's hydration did you focus on that that's funny I I actually wrote down because I funny I I actually wrote down because I funny I I actually wrote down because I wanted to follow up on that one uh no I wanted to follow up on that one uh no I wanted to follow up on that one uh no I I wasn't as as diligent as Brad is and I wasn't as as diligent as Brad is and I wasn't as as diligent as Brad is and I'm impressed that Brad's still doing I'm impressed that Brad's still doing I'm impressed that Brad's still doing that I have to fight to drink that much that I have to fight to drink that much that I have to fight to drink that much water and you know what's so funny about water and you know what's so funny about water and you know what's so funny about that is uh and and now also Jeff I'm that is uh and and now also Jeff I'm that is uh and and now also Jeff I'm curious when you work with your clients curious when you work with your clients curious when you work with your clients um the people that I've talked with in um the people that I've talked with in um the people that I've talked with in the past and and talk about hydration um the past and and talk about hydration um the past and and talk about hydration um I get a I get a I get a consistent uh push back when they try it consistent uh push back when they try it consistent uh push back when they try it and that is well first of all it's and that is well first of all it's and that is well first of all it's fatiguing to you know to have to drink fatiguing to you know to have to drink fatiguing to you know to have to drink all that water all the time and I'm at all that water all the time and I'm at all that water all the time and I'm at work and I can't be going to the work and I can't be going to the work and I can't be going to the bathroom all the time and I have to bathroom all the time and I have to bathroom all the time and I have to admit that's the one challenge I have as
14:00admit that's the one challenge I have as admit that's the one challenge I have as well if I'm drinking all that I have to well if I'm drinking all that I have to well if I'm drinking all that I have to constantly be going to the bathroom and constantly be going to the bathroom and constantly be going to the bathroom and in LA area you know you're on the in LA area you know you're on the in LA area you know you're on the freeway and that hits I'm I'm not freeway and that hits I'm I'm not freeway and that hits I'm I'm not ashamed to say I've had to have my water ashamed to say I've had to have my water ashamed to say I've had to have my water bottle there used as a travel peup bottle there used as a travel peup bottle there used as a travel peup because I'm stuck so that so Brad how because I'm stuck so that so Brad how because I'm stuck so that so Brad how are you dealing with that I mean have are you dealing with that I mean have are you dealing with that I mean have your body adjusted or do you find I your body adjusted or do you find I your body adjusted or do you find I think so I I think it does Drew I think think so I I think it does Drew I think think so I I think it does Drew I think you're and and when you if you first you're and and when you if you first you're and and when you if you first like uh when you first start doing that like uh when you first start doing that like uh when you first start doing that it takes it like you said you gota it's it takes it like you said you gota it's it takes it like you said you gota it's it's bad right like you're constantly it's bad right like you're constantly it's bad right like you're constantly going to the bathroom but I think after going to the bathroom but I think after going to the bathroom but I think after a week or so of doing that your body a week or so of doing that your body a week or so of doing that your body adjust adjust to that and uh it's it's adjust adjust to that and uh it's it's adjust adjust to that and uh it's it's just kind of like normal at that point just kind of like normal at that point just kind of like normal at that point you know well I'm gonna have to give you know well I'm gonna have to give you know well I'm gonna have to give that a try but you know now you've that a try but you know now you've that a try but you know now you've reminded me of something else that I you reminded me of something else that I you reminded me of something else that I you know we're bringing up old memories here know we're bringing up old memories here know we're bringing up old memories here but it's so funny because um what I but it's so funny because um what I but it's so funny because um what I would do is water load about two days would do is water load about two days would do is water load about two days before a photo shoot
15:00and really get that P reflex rolling you and really get that P reflex rolling you know then immediately stop that water know then immediately stop that water know then immediately stop that water usually about 24 hours out before usually about 24 hours out before usually about 24 hours out before whenever I'm doing and that P reflex you whenever I'm doing and that P reflex you whenever I'm doing and that P reflex you just pee out all that water um and it just pee out all that water um and it just pee out all that water um and it worked beautifully you know in that worked beautifully you know in that worked beautifully you know in that sense yeah but I never got to the point sense yeah but I never got to the point sense yeah but I never got to the point now you got I'm be interesting to try now you got I'm be interesting to try now you got I'm be interesting to try that to be able to saturate your body that to be able to saturate your body that to be able to saturate your body enough to where all of a sudden it enough to where all of a sudden it enough to where all of a sudden it adapts to that and you don't feel like adapts to that and you don't feel like adapts to that and you don't feel like you're going to the bathroom I think it you're going to the bathroom I think it you're going to the bathroom I think it does and and and and and the the when I does and and and and and the the when I does and and and and and the the when I can't like you know sometimes life can't like you know sometimes life can't like you know sometimes life circumstances you're not always going to circumstances you're not always going to circumstances you're not always going to be able to drink a gallon of water every be able to drink a gallon of water every be able to drink a gallon of water every day and um when I don't I notice an day and um when I don't I notice an day and um when I don't I notice an immediate effect like I don't I don't immediate effect like I don't I don't immediate effect like I don't I don't have as much energy I don't feel as good have as much energy I don't feel as good have as much energy I don't feel as good I'm not as good as a I'm I'm in a not a I'm not as good as a I'm I'm in a not a I'm not as good as a I'm I'm in a not a good mood um it just I think it has a good mood um it just I think it has a good mood um it just I think it has a dramatic effect on me like it's uh it's dramatic effect on me like it's uh it's dramatic effect on me like it's uh it's an important part for me anyway so well an important part for me anyway so well an important part for me anyway so well I just want another Point Jeff and I say I just want another Point Jeff and I say I just want another Point Jeff and I say I think the other benefit water is okay
16:00I think the other benefit water is okay I think the other benefit water is okay go ahead go feel full feeling full go ahead go feel full feeling full go ahead go feel full feeling full because especially if you're dieting and because especially if you're dieting and because especially if you're dieting and you want to not you want you don't want you want to not you want you don't want you want to not you want you don't want those hunger pains I felt water was a those hunger pains I felt water was a those hunger pains I felt water was a pretty good tool to use at those times pretty good tool to use at those times pretty good tool to use at those times so you're not loading your body with so you're not loading your body with so you're not loading your body with calories calories calories yeah absolutely yeah it's kind of an yeah absolutely yeah it's kind of an yeah absolutely yeah it's kind of an here's the thing with water here's the thing with water here's the thing with water yeah yeah Jeff so so so here here's the yeah yeah Jeff so so so here here's the yeah yeah Jeff so so so here here's the thing with water there's a little thing with water there's a little thing with water there's a little hesitation between us that yes so hesitation between us that yes so hesitation between us that yes so unfortunately the audio is going be a unfortunately the audio is going be a unfortunately the audio is going be a little bit off but here's the thing with little bit off but here's the thing with little bit off but here's the thing with uh um hydration and it's there's a lot uh um hydration and it's there's a lot uh um hydration and it's there's a lot of information out there so it's very of information out there so it's very of information out there so it's very confusing if you're a very active confusing if you're a very active confusing if you're a very active individual like you two are and uh a individual like you two are and uh a individual like you two are and uh a gallon of water a day may be appropriate gallon of water a day may be appropriate gallon of water a day may be appropriate but for an average person a gallon of but for an average person a gallon of but for an average person a gallon of water a day is actually detrimental it's water a day is actually detrimental it's water a day is actually detrimental it's what's called hypnia or water toxemia what's called hypnia or water toxemia what's called hypnia or water toxemia it's same thing and what happens for an it's same thing and what happens for an it's same thing and what happens for an average person who consumes that much average person who consumes that much average person who consumes that much water water water they actually flush the electrolytes and
17:00they actually flush the electrolytes and they actually flush the electrolytes and minerals out of their body so if you're minerals out of their body so if you're minerals out of their body so if you're you're a very active person if you're a you're a very active person if you're a you're a very active person if you're a high performance person and you also high performance person and you also high performance person and you also perspire a lot a gallon of water day is perspire a lot a gallon of water day is perspire a lot a gallon of water day is good but for the average person the good but for the average person the good but for the average person the average person the formula would be you average person the formula would be you average person the formula would be you want to take your body weight divide it want to take your body weight divide it want to take your body weight divide it by two and let's say I weigh 200 pounds by two and let's say I weigh 200 pounds by two and let's say I weigh 200 pounds which I don't um that would be 100 and which I don't um that would be 100 and which I don't um that would be 100 and that's how many ounces of water an that's how many ounces of water an that's how many ounces of water an average person should drink now the more average person should drink now the more average person should drink now the more active you are the more your respiring active you are the more your respiring active you are the more your respiring if you're working outside then you would if you're working outside then you would if you're working outside then you would add to that but uh again it it actually add to that but uh again it it actually add to that but uh again it it actually is detrimental for the average person to is detrimental for the average person to is detrimental for the average person to drink a gallon of water a day because drink a gallon of water a day because drink a gallon of water a day because they're flushing the electrolytes and they're flushing the electrolytes and they're flushing the electrolytes and the minerals out of their body and what the minerals out of their body and what the minerals out of their body and what it will cause also it will even though it will cause also it will even though it will cause also it will even though it sounds odd it will cause dehydration it sounds odd it will cause dehydration it sounds odd it will cause dehydration because our body like you say they you because our body like you say they you because our body like you say they you get used to peeing and you're just get used to peeing and you're just get used to peeing and you're just peeing so much you're flushing all the peeing so much you're flushing all the peeing so much you're flushing all the electrolytes and the minerals out that electrolytes and the minerals out that electrolytes and the minerals out that um your body will actually need more um your body will actually need more um your body will actually need more water because the the way our body sends water because the the way our body sends water because the the way our body sends signals to make our heartbeat make our
18:00signals to make our heartbeat make our signals to make our heartbeat make our brain function is through basically brain function is through basically brain function is through basically electrical impulses and those electrical impulses and those electrical impulses and those electrolytes are what carry those electrolytes are what carry those electrolytes are what carry those electral impulses and so I'm sure you've electral impulses and so I'm sure you've electral impulses and so I'm sure you've heard the rare cases where people heard the rare cases where people heard the rare cases where people overdid water and they die because overdid water and they die because overdid water and they die because electrical impulses don't work anymore electrical impulses don't work anymore electrical impulses don't work anymore so that's the danger of yeah that that's so that's the danger of yeah that that's so that's the danger of yeah that that's D of um overc consuming D of um overc consuming D of um overc consuming water right and what and what I didn't water right and what and what I didn't water right and what and what I didn't mention too is I I put a few pinches of mention too is I I put a few pinches of mention too is I I put a few pinches of salt in my in my water as well because salt in my in my water as well because salt in my in my water as well because if you don't have that like you're if you don't have that like you're if you don't have that like you're saying it it can actually that condition saying it it can actually that condition saying it it can actually that condition can actually kill you and that happens can actually kill you and that happens can actually kill you and that happens not frequently but every once in a while not frequently but every once in a while not frequently but every once in a while to marathon runners where they're to marathon runners where they're to marathon runners where they're they're constantly consuming water they're constantly consuming water they're constantly consuming water straight water with no electrolytes in straight water with no electrolytes in straight water with no electrolytes in it and then and then um right and and it and then and then um right and and it and then and then um right and and flushing it all right right that's a flushing it all right right that's a flushing it all right right that's a dangerous condition um but you know as
19:00dangerous condition um but you know as dangerous condition um but you know as long as you have enough sodium if you long as you have enough sodium if you long as you have enough sodium if you don't have the sodium in your system don't have the sodium in your system don't have the sodium in your system then the water can't get to where it then the water can't get to where it then the water can't get to where it needs to be so yeah it's important it's needs to be so yeah it's important it's needs to be so yeah it's important it's important sodium yeah yeah yeah so it's important sodium yeah yeah yeah so it's important sodium yeah yeah yeah so it's sodium potassium magnesium you could sodium potassium magnesium you could sodium potassium magnesium you could even use baking soda baking soda is very even use baking soda baking soda is very even use baking soda baking soda is very good as well so the um so all all the good as well so the um so all all the good as well so the um so all all the minerals in the electrolytes but the uh minerals in the electrolytes but the uh minerals in the electrolytes but the uh so water consumption for the average so water consumption for the average so water consumption for the average person take your body weight divide it person take your body weight divide it person take your body weight divide it by two and that's how many ounces of by two and that's how many ounces of by two and that's how many ounces of water you should drink now I'm going to water you should drink now I'm going to water you should drink now I'm going to talk about about what I did for my talk about about what I did for my talk about about what I did for my nutrition which is not going to be for nutrition which is not going to be for nutrition which is not going to be for the average person cuz I was very thin I the average person cuz I was very thin I the average person cuz I was very thin I think I weighed about 152 pounds because think I weighed about 152 pounds because think I weighed about 152 pounds because I was I was running every day and I was I was I was running every day and I was I was I was running every day and I was doing martial arts and I had taken a doing martial arts and I had taken a doing martial arts and I had taken a break from weight training uh just break from weight training uh just break from weight training uh just because I wanted to get more heavily because I wanted to get more heavily because I wanted to get more heavily into martial arts and start doing some into martial arts and start doing some into martial arts and start doing some races and so I was running and doing races and so I was running and doing races and so I was running and doing martial arts and I was about I'm 5' 11 I martial arts and I was about I'm 5' 11 I martial arts and I was about I'm 5' 11 I was uh about 52 lbs that was very thin was uh about 52 lbs that was very thin was uh about 52 lbs that was very thin and I didn't like the way I looked but I
20:00and I didn't like the way I looked but I and I didn't like the way I looked but I like I like different activities so I like I like different activities so I like I like different activities so I like doing that but anyway so what like doing that but anyway so what like doing that but anyway so what happened was when I saw the contest I happened was when I saw the contest I happened was when I saw the contest I said okay I'm not happy with the way I said okay I'm not happy with the way I said okay I'm not happy with the way I look I like being athletic lean fit look I like being athletic lean fit look I like being athletic lean fit strong but I want to have more muscle so strong but I want to have more muscle so strong but I want to have more muscle so the when I saw the contest I said okay the when I saw the contest I said okay the when I saw the contest I said okay here's my opportunity to put the muscle here's my opportunity to put the muscle here's my opportunity to put the muscle back on so as I mentioned the in the back on so as I mentioned the in the back on so as I mentioned the in the previous uh podcast I was taken in 5 to previous uh podcast I was taken in 5 to previous uh podcast I was taken in 5 to 6,000 calories a day I would eat uh 6,000 calories a day I would eat uh 6,000 calories a day I would eat uh basically every 3 hours and that was basically every 3 hours and that was basically every 3 hours and that was every 3 hours even if I was sleeping and every 3 hours even if I was sleeping and every 3 hours even if I was sleeping and so it was uh eight meals a day and uh it so it was uh eight meals a day and uh it so it was uh eight meals a day and uh it was eight meals at about 600 to 700 was eight meals at about 600 to 700 was eight meals at about 600 to 700 calories per meal and I would watch my calories per meal and I would watch my calories per meal and I would watch my body fat so if I if I started to get a body fat so if I if I started to get a body fat so if I if I started to get a gain a little body fat because I still gain a little body fat because I still gain a little body fat because I still stayed very active just like you guys stayed very active just like you guys stayed very active just like you guys did if I started to see a little body did if I started to see a little body did if I started to see a little body fat fat fat accumulation uh I would cut back on the accumulation uh I would cut back on the accumulation uh I would cut back on the calories a little bit but my my calories a little bit but my my calories a little bit but my my nutrition was probably uh about 60%
21:00nutrition was probably uh about 60% nutrition was probably uh about 60% protein about uh 25% fat and about 15% protein about uh 25% fat and about 15% protein about uh 25% fat and about 15% carbohydrates those 15% carbohydrates carbohydrates those 15% carbohydrates carbohydrates those 15% carbohydrates were only vegetables I didn't do any were only vegetables I didn't do any were only vegetables I didn't do any fruits I didn't do any grains I just fruits I didn't do any grains I just fruits I didn't do any grains I just wanted to be as healthy as possible uh wanted to be as healthy as possible uh wanted to be as healthy as possible uh as I was putting on all this muscle so I as I was putting on all this muscle so I as I was putting on all this muscle so I knew uh you know low calorie uh high knew uh you know low calorie uh high knew uh you know low calorie uh high fiber nutrient-rich vegetables was going fiber nutrient-rich vegetables was going fiber nutrient-rich vegetables was going to be for me and it allowed me to stay to be for me and it allowed me to stay to be for me and it allowed me to stay lean and taken a ton of calories and put lean and taken a ton of calories and put lean and taken a ton of calories and put on a bunch of muscle but I will say that on a bunch of muscle but I will say that on a bunch of muscle but I will say that I remembered after we did the podcast I remembered after we did the podcast I remembered after we did the podcast last time Drew you asked me if I had uh last time Drew you asked me if I had uh last time Drew you asked me if I had uh cut back on the carbs uh prior to the cut back on the carbs uh prior to the cut back on the carbs uh prior to the photo shoot and I did I did zero carbs I photo shoot and I did I did zero carbs I photo shoot and I did I did zero carbs I basically did protein and fat for the basically did protein and fat for the basically did protein and fat for the last week to 10 days before the photo last week to 10 days before the photo last week to 10 days before the photo shoot and uh that allowed me to be lean shoot and uh that allowed me to be lean shoot and uh that allowed me to be lean so um anyways guys sorry for everybody so um anyways guys sorry for everybody so um anyways guys sorry for everybody who's watching and you guys as well for who's watching and you guys as well for who's watching and you guys as well for the hesitation in between us speaking
22:00the hesitation in between us speaking the hesitation in between us speaking but that's my internet and there's but that's my internet and there's but that's my internet and there's unfortunately nothing I could do about unfortunately nothing I could do about unfortunately nothing I could do about it but the uh so next I want to talk it but the uh so next I want to talk it but the uh so next I want to talk about I mean do you guys have any more about I mean do you guys have any more about I mean do you guys have any more things you want to add about the things you want to add about the things you want to add about the nutrition before we move on to the next nutrition before we move on to the next nutrition before we move on to the next subject well I just thought you know in subject well I just thought you know in subject well I just thought you know in listening to all three of us I think listening to all three of us I think listening to all three of us I think really um because we each had a slightly really um because we each had a slightly really um because we each had a slightly different approach but I think the core different approach but I think the core different approach but I think the core element is element is element is um carbohydrate management because um carbohydrate management because um carbohydrate management because because um in my case um I I I had a because um in my case um I I I had a because um in my case um I I I had a higher carbohydrate load than you guys higher carbohydrate load than you guys higher carbohydrate load than you guys did it sound like but I was doing a ton did it sound like but I was doing a ton did it sound like but I was doing a ton of cardio a ton and um in and I think as of cardio a ton and um in and I think as of cardio a ton and um in and I think as time went on my strategy changed I had time went on my strategy changed I had time went on my strategy changed I had the time to do it I was motivated to do the time to do it I was motivated to do the time to do it I was motivated to do it um but I think as time went on I it um but I think as time went on I it um but I think as time went on I didn't want to you know have to do 40 didn't want to you know have to do 40 didn't want to you know have to do 40 minutes of cardio or do the two you know minutes of cardio or do the two you know minutes of cardio or do the two you know the two times one in the morning and one the two times one in the morning and one the two times one in the morning and one in the evening and I felt that moving in the evening and I felt that moving in the evening and I felt that moving towards um a a higher protein higher fat
23:00towards um a a higher protein higher fat towards um a a higher protein higher fat approach seemed to work well and and you approach seemed to work well and and you approach seemed to work well and and you know when they talk about ketosis you're know when they talk about ketosis you're know when they talk about ketosis you're basically turning your body into a fat basically turning your body into a fat basically turning your body into a fat burning machine and I felt like that burning machine and I felt like that burning machine and I felt like that approach was easier in general it's an approach was easier in general it's an approach was easier in general it's an easier approach to to Fat Loss um but I easier approach to to Fat Loss um but I easier approach to to Fat Loss um but I don't know from just gaining mass and don't know from just gaining mass and don't know from just gaining mass and being healthy if that's the the approach being healthy if that's the the approach being healthy if that's the the approach I'll just wrap up my portion of that by I'll just wrap up my portion of that by I'll just wrap up my portion of that by saying I think now I really kind of saying I think now I really kind of saying I think now I really kind of gravitated more to a Mediterranean style gravitated more to a Mediterranean style gravitated more to a Mediterranean style diet I just find that that my body feels diet I just find that that my body feels diet I just find that that my body feels good with that you know I don't overdo good with that you know I don't overdo good with that you know I don't overdo the meats plenty of vegetables and the meats plenty of vegetables and the meats plenty of vegetables and fruits little Dairy that just seems to fruits little Dairy that just seems to fruits little Dairy that just seems to work well with my body it eliminates work well with my body it eliminates work well with my body it eliminates Cravings um and it it puts me in a Cravings um and it it puts me in a Cravings um and it it puts me in a position where if I need to lose weight position where if I need to lose weight position where if I need to lose weight quickly and we are a Mediterranean diet quickly and we are a Mediterranean diet quickly and we are a Mediterranean diet you can adjust those carbohydrates you can adjust those carbohydrates you can adjust those carbohydrates almost down to nothing and you really almost down to nothing and you really almost down to nothing and you really are are in keto pretty quick and so that
24:00are are in keto pretty quick and so that are are in keto pretty quick and so that that's you know I think again um that at that's you know I think again um that at that's you know I think again um that at least from I'm hearing is carbohydrates least from I'm hearing is carbohydrates least from I'm hearing is carbohydrates control seems to be a big factor in all control seems to be a big factor in all control seems to be a big factor in all this yeah Drew and that that brings up this yeah Drew and that that brings up this yeah Drew and that that brings up something that I remember um back when something that I remember um back when something that I remember um back when we were doing the that competition I we were doing the that competition I we were doing the that competition I remember the last seven days um I on remember the last seven days um I on remember the last seven days um I on seven days before what I I did a seven days before what I I did a seven days before what I I did a carbohydrate load uh depletion and load carbohydrate load uh depletion and load carbohydrate load uh depletion and load you know which is kind of the thing to you know which is kind of the thing to you know which is kind of the thing to do back then in the bodybuilding World do back then in the bodybuilding World do back then in the bodybuilding World um so and I remember exactly what I did um so and I remember exactly what I did um so and I remember exactly what I did because it was really simple the first because it was really simple the first because it was really simple the first day I had uh a small baked potato I day I had uh a small baked potato I day I had uh a small baked potato I didn't weigh it just a average size half didn't weigh it just a average size half didn't weigh it just a average size half the size of your fist baked potato and the size of your fist baked potato and the size of your fist baked potato and and a chicken breast every three hours and a chicken breast every three hours and a chicken breast every three hours and then the second day I had a half of and then the second day I had a half of and then the second day I had a half of that potato and six chicken breasts and that potato and six chicken breasts and that potato and six chicken breasts and um one every three hours and then the um one every three hours and then the um one every three hours and then the third day I had just six chicken breast third day I had just six chicken breast third day I had just six chicken breast and I although I didn't do a whole lot
25:00and I although I didn't do a whole lot and I although I didn't do a whole lot of cardio for that competition I I did of cardio for that competition I I did of cardio for that competition I I did cardio every day on that carb depletion cardio every day on that carb depletion cardio every day on that carb depletion and then the next three days I um kept a and then the next three days I um kept a and then the next three days I um kept a small amount of protein in my diet but small amount of protein in my diet but small amount of protein in my diet but more um pasta rice um some fruits and more um pasta rice um some fruits and more um pasta rice um some fruits and vegetables and small amount and and I vegetables and small amount and and I vegetables and small amount and and I kept the sodium out to you know get that kept the sodium out to you know get that kept the sodium out to you know get that water out from under your skin but then water out from under your skin but then water out from under your skin but then I remember that last week for me was I remember that last week for me was I remember that last week for me was dramatic change in in in my body right dramatic change in in in my body right dramatic change in in in my body right before the photo shoot but you're before the photo shoot but you're before the photo shoot but you're missing carbohydrate you know control missing carbohydrate you know control missing carbohydrate you know control and it just reminded me of that last and it just reminded me of that last and it just reminded me of that last week that that I did yeah I think that again so I want I did yeah I think that again so I want I want to want to want to say say say go oh I I was just going to say you know go oh I I was just going to say you know go oh I I was just going to say you know just from yeah just from training so just from yeah just from training so just from yeah just from training so many people you know I've trained uh if many people you know I've trained uh if many people you know I've trained uh if if I count in my gyms and online about
26:00if I count in my gyms and online about if I count in my gyms and online about 7,000 clients the number one indicator 7,000 clients the number one indicator 7,000 clients the number one indicator of fat loss is the carbohydrates I mean of fat loss is the carbohydrates I mean of fat loss is the carbohydrates I mean as long as they were able to uh number as long as they were able to uh number as long as they were able to uh number one eat the right carbohydrates which one eat the right carbohydrates which one eat the right carbohydrates which most of them can't it's the most most of them can't it's the most most of them can't it's the most challenging part because when you're challenging part because when you're challenging part because when you're eating the proper carbohydrates they're eating the proper carbohydrates they're eating the proper carbohydrates they're the boring ones they're the you know the the boring ones they're the you know the the boring ones they're the you know the vegetables the sweet potatoes you know vegetables the sweet potatoes you know vegetables the sweet potatoes you know the the uh stuff that's not that the the uh stuff that's not that the the uh stuff that's not that exciting at least if you're really exciting at least if you're really exciting at least if you're really trying to get lean you know the uh if trying to get lean you know the uh if trying to get lean you know the uh if you're eating processed carbohydrates or you're eating processed carbohydrates or you're eating processed carbohydrates or even fruits in some cases will prevent even fruits in some cases will prevent even fruits in some cases will prevent you from getting too lean and losing you from getting too lean and losing you from getting too lean and losing weight at a faster Pace but here's the weight at a faster Pace but here's the weight at a faster Pace but here's the thing with um genetics plays a little thing with um genetics plays a little thing with um genetics plays a little bit of a role So based on genetics 70% bit of a role So based on genetics 70% bit of a role So based on genetics 70% of the population should be on the of the population should be on the of the population should be on the Mediterranean diet now based on my Mediterranean diet now based on my Mediterranean diet now based on my genetics I'm I should be on a genetics I'm I should be on a genetics I'm I should be on a Mediterranean diet but the problem with Mediterranean diet but the problem with Mediterranean diet but the problem with that is I like to maintain a little bit that is I like to maintain a little bit that is I like to maintain a little bit more muscle so I have to lean a little more muscle so I have to lean a little more muscle so I have to lean a little bit towards carnivore Mediterranean to bit towards carnivore Mediterranean to bit towards carnivore Mediterranean to maintain the muscle that I have now
27:00maintain the muscle that I have now maintain the muscle that I have now based on genetics again it's 70% of the based on genetics again it's 70% of the based on genetics again it's 70% of the population should be on Mediterranean population should be on Mediterranean population should be on Mediterranean about uh 22% should be leaning towards about uh 22% should be leaning towards about uh 22% should be leaning towards carnivore and this is based on our carnivore and this is based on our carnivore and this is based on our ancestors the environments they were in ancestors the environments they were in ancestors the environments they were in the the way they ate and then about 8% the the way they ate and then about 8% the the way they ate and then about 8% should be leaning more towards uh vegan should be leaning more towards uh vegan should be leaning more towards uh vegan vegetarian but nobody should be 100% vegetarian but nobody should be 100% vegetarian but nobody should be 100% really based on genetics 100% carnivore really based on genetics 100% carnivore really based on genetics 100% carnivore 100% vegan vegetarian they should all 100% vegan vegetarian they should all 100% vegan vegetarian they should all always be be always be be always be be uh uh they should be Mediterranean SL uh uh they should be Mediterranean SL uh uh they should be Mediterranean SL vgan vegetarian or vgan vegetarian or vgan vegetarian or Mediterranean carnivore uh yeah not Mediterranean carnivore uh yeah not Mediterranean carnivore uh yeah not really purely vegan or not really purely really purely vegan or not really purely really purely vegan or not really purely carnivore But That's genetics anyway so carnivore But That's genetics anyway so carnivore But That's genetics anyway so anything else you guys want to before we anything else you guys want to before we anything else you guys want to before we move on yeah I want to say that I agree move on yeah I want to say that I agree move on yeah I want to say that I agree with you 100 perc in fact um when going with you 100 perc in fact um when going with you 100 perc in fact um when going into a bulking phase that is exactly into a bulking phase that is exactly into a bulking phase that is exactly what I do I just bump up the car the what I do I just bump up the car the what I do I just bump up the car the protein part of it and then typically I protein part of it and then typically I protein part of it and then typically I would would would back away from cheese or in a Dairy just
28:00back away from cheese or in a Dairy just back away from cheese or in a Dairy just that simple move of increasing the the that simple move of increasing the the that simple move of increasing the the the protein you're still getting the the protein you're still getting the the protein you're still getting the good carbohydrates in the Mediterranean good carbohydrates in the Mediterranean good carbohydrates in the Mediterranean diet generally and cutting out the dairy diet generally and cutting out the dairy diet generally and cutting out the dairy for whatever reason uh me cutting Dairy for whatever reason uh me cutting Dairy for whatever reason uh me cutting Dairy helped me get a little leaner that's a helped me get a little leaner that's a helped me get a little leaner that's a good that's a good strategy and and good that's a good strategy and and good that's a good strategy and and really generally speaking I think when really generally speaking I think when really generally speaking I think when we leave if we leave this topic somebody we leave if we leave this topic somebody we leave if we leave this topic somebody listening today if they just if they listening today if they just if they listening today if they just if they really wanted to to keep this simple really wanted to to keep this simple really wanted to to keep this simple during your meal if you have a protein during your meal if you have a protein during your meal if you have a protein source and a salad or a protein source source and a salad or a protein source source and a salad or a protein source and mixed vegetables that's a pretty and mixed vegetables that's a pretty and mixed vegetables that's a pretty simple approach and it keeps you in that simple approach and it keeps you in that simple approach and it keeps you in that in that range of losing fat and still in that range of losing fat and still in that range of losing fat and still getting the nutrients you need right yeah so so uh that seems like it right yeah so so uh that seems like it was a pretty great explanation of fat was a pretty great explanation of fat was a pretty great explanation of fat loss and for me that my goal wasn't fat loss and for me that my goal wasn't fat loss and for me that my goal wasn't fat loss but I was able to maintain the loss but I was able to maintain the loss but I was able to maintain the lower body fat while I was gaining lower body fat while I was gaining lower body fat while I was gaining muscle and again it really boils down to muscle and again it really boils down to muscle and again it really boils down to your carbohydrates and then not just
29:00your carbohydrates and then not just your carbohydrates and then not just carbohydrates but your choice of carbohydrates but your choice of carbohydrates but your choice of carbohydrates the lower calorie uh carbohydrates the lower calorie uh carbohydrates the lower calorie uh nutrient-rich fibrous uh vegetables are nutrient-rich fibrous uh vegetables are nutrient-rich fibrous uh vegetables are really the ultimate choice if your goal really the ultimate choice if your goal really the ultimate choice if your goal is to get lean or stay lean and that's is to get lean or stay lean and that's is to get lean or stay lean and that's the way I eat today by the way I eat the way I eat today by the way I eat the way I eat today by the way I eat still about 40% protein about 40% uh still about 40% protein about 40% uh still about 40% protein about 40% uh healthy fats and then about 20% healthy fats and then about 20% healthy fats and then about 20% carbohydrates and I would say that carbohydrates and I would say that carbohydrates and I would say that almost always my carbohydrates are uh almost always my carbohydrates are uh almost always my carbohydrates are uh fibrous High nutrient vegetables I fibrous High nutrient vegetables I fibrous High nutrient vegetables I really do very little fruit I do very no really do very little fruit I do very no really do very little fruit I do very no grains basically and just really very grains basically and just really very grains basically and just really very nutrient DS rich foods and I'm able to nutrient DS rich foods and I'm able to nutrient DS rich foods and I'm able to stay lean maintain my muscle of course stay lean maintain my muscle of course stay lean maintain my muscle of course and train hard as well but do you guys and train hard as well but do you guys and train hard as well but do you guys want to add anything else before we move on no I think we I think we did okay on no I think we I think we did okay there it's interesting that we both or there it's interesting that we both or there it's interesting that we both or we all three um have just interesting we all three um have just interesting we all three um have just interesting approaches that are slightly different
30:00approaches that are slightly different approaches that are slightly different they all yielded this basically the same they all yielded this basically the same they all yielded this basically the same result um but the commonality is result um but the commonality is result um but the commonality is consistency of eating keeping those consistency of eating keeping those consistency of eating keeping those carbohydrates low um but Brad talked carbohydrates low um but Brad talked carbohydrates low um but Brad talked about earlier when when you do this you about earlier when when you do this you about earlier when when you do this you need to be consistent and it's once you need to be consistent and it's once you need to be consistent and it's once you just no yeah we'll leave this segment just no yeah we'll leave this segment just no yeah we'll leave this segment with this I noticed that when you create with this I noticed that when you create with this I noticed that when you create the Habit just you have to prepare those the Habit just you have to prepare those the Habit just you have to prepare those meals whatever it's going to be ideally meals whatever it's going to be ideally meals whatever it's going to be ideally protein s and vegetables and I I don't protein s and vegetables and I I don't protein s and vegetables and I I don't know that you even have to weigh it out know that you even have to weigh it out know that you even have to weigh it out that much just get in have that that much just get in have that that much just get in have that consistently and this all the fat loss consistently and this all the fat loss consistently and this all the fat loss it's almost like magically happens in a it's almost like magically happens in a it's almost like magically happens in a sense you know your body um just starts sense you know your body um just starts sense you know your body um just starts getting leaner just even without getting leaner just even without getting leaner just even without exercise I exercise I exercise I found yeah and just and just having found yeah and just and just having found yeah and just and just having having the right mindset is is really having the right mindset is is really having the right mindset is is really important you know if if you don't have important you know if if you don't have important you know if if you don't have the uh if if you don't have the right the uh if if you don't have the right the uh if if you don't have the right mind mindset and you're not determined mind mindset and you're not determined mind mindset and you're not determined enough it probably not going to
31:00enough it probably not going to enough it probably not going to happen yeah and and I want to say one happen yeah and and I want to say one happen yeah and and I want to say one more thing regarding that and then we'll more thing regarding that and then we'll more thing regarding that and then we'll move on but so it Brad is exactly right move on but so it Brad is exactly right move on but so it Brad is exactly right and Drew I'm sure will confirm it it is and Drew I'm sure will confirm it it is and Drew I'm sure will confirm it it is the mindset and here's the here's the the mindset and here's the here's the the mindset and here's the here's the here's the real here's the real here's the real answer if your emotions are dictating answer if your emotions are dictating answer if your emotions are dictating your actions you're you're going to fail your actions you're you're going to fail your actions you're you're going to fail and so but so as long as your logic and and so but so as long as your logic and and so but so as long as your logic and your common sense are dictating your your common sense are dictating your your common sense are dictating your actions eating properly not skipping the actions eating properly not skipping the actions eating properly not skipping the training you're going to win but if your training you're going to win but if your training you're going to win but if your emotions start to come into play where emotions start to come into play where emotions start to come into play where you say it's okay to eat this cheesecake you say it's okay to eat this cheesecake you say it's okay to eat this cheesecake it's okay to skip this workout when your it's okay to skip this workout when your it's okay to skip this workout when your emotions come into play you're you're emotions come into play you're you're emotions come into play you're you're pretty much screwed so you have to pretty much screwed so you have to pretty much screwed so you have to develop emotional control basically develop emotional control basically develop emotional control basically discipline well and just along those discipline well and just along those discipline well and just along those same lines that's why I had to do all same lines that's why I had to do all same lines that's why I had to do all the preparation in advance because life the preparation in advance because life the preparation in advance because life always throws all these obstacles and always throws all these obstacles and always throws all these obstacles and you know you think you're going to eat you know you think you're going to eat you know you think you're going to eat right and then you miss your meal and right and then you miss your meal and right and then you miss your meal and then you're trying to catch up and it's
32:00then you're trying to catch up and it's then you're trying to catch up and it's like I couldn't deal with all that and like I couldn't deal with all that and like I couldn't deal with all that and even if even though the contest was even if even though the contest was even if even though the contest was highly motivating and you'd think that highly motivating and you'd think that highly motivating and you'd think that alone would do it but really it was the alone would do it but really it was the alone would do it but really it was the meals already being prepared so that no meals already being prepared so that no meals already being prepared so that no matter what even if it was a stressful matter what even if it was a stressful matter what even if it was a stressful situation when the clock hit I could put situation when the clock hit I could put situation when the clock hit I could put it in the microwave and not think about it in the microwave and not think about it in the microwave and not think about it and that was for me that was really it and that was for me that was really it and that was for me that was really the the key to it the combination of the the key to it the combination of the the key to it the combination of making it in advance with the motivation making it in advance with the motivation making it in advance with the motivation and it kept me on course yeah so uh I'm I'm going to say one yeah so uh I'm I'm going to say one thing regarding that so the other part thing regarding that so the other part thing regarding that so the other part is so number one is emotional control is so number one is emotional control is so number one is emotional control the second part is creating an the second part is creating an the second part is creating an environment that's conducive to success environment that's conducive to success environment that's conducive to success so you have to make sure if you're going so you have to make sure if you're going so you have to make sure if you're going decide you're going to get ripped you decide you're going to get ripped you decide you're going to get ripped you can't have cookies in your cupboard you can't have cookies in your cupboard you can't have cookies in your cupboard you can't buy a pizza store and go have a can't buy a pizza store and go have a can't buy a pizza store and go have a slice so you have to create the slice so you have to create the slice so you have to create the environment for success and so so that environment for success and so so that environment for success and so so that is a tough one for a lot of people CU
33:00is a tough one for a lot of people CU is a tough one for a lot of people CU you could go to these people's homes you could go to these people's homes you could go to these people's homes that are consistently failing on their that are consistently failing on their that are consistently failing on their nutrition plans and you'll find crackers nutrition plans and you'll find crackers nutrition plans and you'll find crackers in their cupboards cookies and the in their cupboards cookies and the in their cupboards cookies and the reason they're failing is because reason they're failing is because reason they're failing is because they're not creating the environments they're not creating the environments they're not creating the environments it's conducive to success so you need to it's conducive to success so you need to it's conducive to success so you need to create the environment with your living create the environment with your living create the environment with your living space but also the people you surround space but also the people you surround space but also the people you surround yourself with so uh create the yourself with so uh create the yourself with so uh create the environment for environment for environment for Success well you know I hate to keep Success well you know I hate to keep Success well you know I hate to keep saying we're going to leave this segment saying we're going to leave this segment saying we're going to leave this segment and then not but there reminds me um and then not but there reminds me um and then not but there reminds me um gosh walk down memory lane do you did gosh walk down memory lane do you did gosh walk down memory lane do you did you guys ever take your myoplex and turn you guys ever take your myoplex and turn you guys ever take your myoplex and turn it into a pudding yes wasn't that an it into a pudding yes wasn't that an it into a pudding yes wasn't that an amazing that was great that was awesome amazing that was great that was awesome amazing that was great that was awesome yes and and I I didn't want to leave yes and and I I didn't want to leave yes and and I I didn't want to leave this segment without that because you this segment without that because you this segment without that because you know let's face it guys we live in a know let's face it guys we live in a know let's face it guys we live in a world where sweets are all around us and world where sweets are all around us and world where sweets are all around us and it is tempting and I'm just as guilty as it is tempting and I'm just as guilty as it is tempting and I'm just as guilty as anybody but what a joy that was because anybody but what a joy that was because anybody but what a joy that was because you're it all the time and you want you you're it all the time and you want you you're it all the time and you want you don't want to wreck it and then why not
34:00don't want to wreck it and then why not don't want to wreck it and then why not have a really kind of a a nice protein have a really kind of a a nice protein have a really kind of a a nice protein style dessert man that was good and so style dessert man that was good and so style dessert man that was good and so yeah we probably should talk about you yeah we probably should talk about you yeah we probably should talk about you know the fact that you have have a sweet know the fact that you have have a sweet know the fact that you have have a sweet tooth there's plenty of protein powders tooth there's plenty of protein powders tooth there's plenty of protein powders out there today that you could mix with out there today that you could mix with out there today that you could mix with water into a pudding and that's water into a pudding and that's water into a pudding and that's fantastic drop some nuts in there even fantastic drop some nuts in there even fantastic drop some nuts in there even you know some of those type things be be you know some of those type things be be you know some of those type things be be a little creative on your sweet to side a little creative on your sweet to side a little creative on your sweet to side and that helps a lot and that helps a lot and that helps a lot it it does Drew and I've got I've got it it does Drew and I've got I've got it it does Drew and I've got I've got another one for you that I used to do um another one for you that I used to do um another one for you that I used to do um the take allnatural um uh unsweetened the take allnatural um uh unsweetened the take allnatural um uh unsweetened applesauce and put a couple spoons full applesauce and put a couple spoons full applesauce and put a couple spoons full of dry of dry of dry Oats Oatmeal on it and mix it up oh my Oats Oatmeal on it and mix it up oh my Oats Oatmeal on it and mix it up oh my God it's when when when when you when God it's when when when when you when God it's when when when when you when you're hungry that's really really good you're hungry that's really really good you're hungry that's really really good yeah Jeff what uh give us one of your yeah Jeff what uh give us one of your yeah Jeff what uh give us one of your your dessert favorites your dessert favorites your dessert favorites yeah well well I I didn't do any yeah well well I I didn't do any yeah well well I I didn't do any desserts I felt that like the shakes
35:00desserts I felt that like the shakes desserts I felt that like the shakes were sweet enough for me and all I cared were sweet enough for me and all I cared were sweet enough for me and all I cared about was winning so I just pounded about was winning so I just pounded about was winning so I just pounded everything down that I needed to pound everything down that I needed to pound everything down that I needed to pound down but I do want to say so Drew I do down but I do want to say so Drew I do down but I do want to say so Drew I do want you to mention you have a want you to mention you have a want you to mention you have a supplement that you sell so I I'd like supplement that you sell so I I'd like supplement that you sell so I I'd like you to talk about the supplement you you to talk about the supplement you you to talk about the supplement you sell because it it's directly relates to sell because it it's directly relates to sell because it it's directly relates to what we're talking about people with a what we're talking about people with a what we're talking about people with a sweet too so i' I'd like you to mention sweet too so i' I'd like you to mention sweet too so i' I'd like you to mention Drew didn't say hey promote my product Drew didn't say hey promote my product Drew didn't say hey promote my product I'm just I want him to tell you about it I'm just I want him to tell you about it I'm just I want him to tell you about it just because it'll benefit the people just because it'll benefit the people just because it'll benefit the people that are that are that are struggling well um struggling well um struggling well um Jeff I'm sure you would um support what Jeff I'm sure you would um support what Jeff I'm sure you would um support what I'm saying here because you work with so I'm saying here because you work with so I'm saying here because you work with so many people but sweet tooths are a big many people but sweet tooths are a big many people but sweet tooths are a big problem it's just a big problem and so problem it's just a big problem and so problem it's just a big problem and so people get really motivated I'm gonna people get really motivated I'm gonna people get really motivated I'm gonna lose weight New Year's resolution or lose weight New Year's resolution or lose weight New Year's resolution or it's their birthday and I'm gonna do it it's their birthday and I'm gonna do it it's their birthday and I'm gonna do it now I'm finally gonna do it and about by now I'm finally gonna do it and about by now I'm finally gonna do it and about by the third between the third and 10th day the third between the third and 10th day the third between the third and 10th day of that I'm gonna do it um there's of that I'm gonna do it um there's of that I'm gonna do it um there's usually a point at which they they give usually a point at which they they give usually a point at which they they give into their sweet tooth I found it was into their sweet tooth I found it was into their sweet tooth I found it was typically the Sweet Tooth it was the typically the Sweet Tooth it was the typically the Sweet Tooth it was the derailer derailer derailer um and um it was only getting worse it
36:00um and um it was only getting worse it um and um it was only getting worse it seems like um because there's so many seems like um because there's so many seems like um because there's so many things in in our Marketplace today that things in in our Marketplace today that things in in our Marketplace today that are just that are full of sugar and I are just that are full of sugar and I are just that are full of sugar and I mean a lot of sugar and mean a lot of sugar and mean a lot of sugar and um so anyway I felt like it was I felt um so anyway I felt like it was I felt um so anyway I felt like it was I felt that there was an opportunity to create that there was an opportunity to create that there was an opportunity to create a product that might help and I did it's a product that might help and I did it's a product that might help and I did it's called sweet nothings I sell it on called sweet nothings I sell it on called sweet nothings I sell it on Amazon and it's an herbal product that Amazon and it's an herbal product that Amazon and it's an herbal product that stops your Cravings in about 60 seconds stops your Cravings in about 60 seconds stops your Cravings in about 60 seconds uh and it does that because it at the uh and it does that because it at the uh and it does that because it at the molecular level it fills in the receptor molecular level it fills in the receptor molecular level it fills in the receptor sites of your tongue that taste sweet so sites of your tongue that taste sweet so sites of your tongue that taste sweet so in 60 seconds a Coke would taste like in 60 seconds a Coke would taste like in 60 seconds a Coke would taste like water or uh an Oreo cookie might taste water or uh an Oreo cookie might taste water or uh an Oreo cookie might taste like a Ritz cracker because you've like a Ritz cracker because you've like a Ritz cracker because you've eliminated all your body's ability to eliminated all your body's ability to eliminated all your body's ability to taste sweets and what it does is it kind taste sweets and what it does is it kind taste sweets and what it does is it kind of shuts off that desire for for wanting of shuts off that desire for for wanting of shuts off that desire for for wanting more and why is that important because more and why is that important because more and why is that important because it doesn't take willpower to take the it doesn't take willpower to take the it doesn't take willpower to take the tablet and once you take the tablet it tablet and once you take the tablet it tablet and once you take the tablet it if the if the sugar you're not getting if the if the sugar you're not getting if the if the sugar you're not getting the enjoyment from it then it's much the enjoyment from it then it's much the enjoyment from it then it's much easier it takes the willpower out of it
37:00easier it takes the willpower out of it easier it takes the willpower out of it and so um I've been selling that for and so um I've been selling that for and so um I've been selling that for years and it's just a it's um it's one years and it's just a it's um it's one years and it's just a it's um it's one of these products it's rare that you of these products it's rare that you of these products it's rare that you know that anything's working in 60 know that anything's working in 60 know that anything's working in 60 seconds but this one you know it's seconds but this one you know it's seconds but this one you know it's working in 60 seconds the question is do working in 60 seconds the question is do working in 60 seconds the question is do you want it to work and the reason I say you want it to work and the reason I say you want it to work and the reason I say that is because people when I say take that is because people when I say take that is because people when I say take it and I say now try your favorite sweet it and I say now try your favorite sweet it and I say now try your favorite sweet well they take it taste of their well they take it taste of their well they take it taste of their favorite sweet in 60 seconds and they favorite sweet in 60 seconds and they favorite sweet in 60 seconds and they realize they don't want it and a lot of realize they don't want it and a lot of realize they don't want it and a lot of people go but but I love my ice cream people go but but I love my ice cream people go but but I love my ice cream and you've just made it so that I don't and you've just made it so that I don't and you've just made it so that I don't want my ice cream and I don't know that want my ice cream and I don't know that want my ice cream and I don't know that I want that you know what I'm saying I want that you know what I'm saying I want that you know what I'm saying it's like you're you're taking a a it's like you're you're taking a a it's like you're you're taking a a pleasure away from him so Works pleasure away from him so Works pleasure away from him so Works fantastic Works in 60 seconds and it fantastic Works in 60 seconds and it fantastic Works in 60 seconds and it deals with the issue of uh not having deals with the issue of uh not having deals with the issue of uh not having the willpower to to stop yourself so the willpower to to stop yourself so the willpower to to stop yourself so okay interesting product awesome so so okay interesting product awesome so so okay interesting product awesome so so uh thank you yeah thank you for that uh thank you yeah thank you for that uh thank you yeah thank you for that explanation Drew and so the uh so now explanation Drew and so the uh so now explanation Drew and so the uh so now pretty much you got the the whole pretty much you got the the whole pretty much you got the the whole breakdown of what we did to lose weight
38:00breakdown of what we did to lose weight breakdown of what we did to lose weight gain muscle get in incredible shape and gain muscle get in incredible shape and gain muscle get in incredible shape and actually make it into magazines uh by actually make it into magazines uh by actually make it into magazines uh by following the these nutrition protocols following the these nutrition protocols following the these nutrition protocols that we talked about so now what we're that we talked about so now what we're that we talked about so now what we're going to do is we're going to talk about going to do is we're going to talk about going to do is we're going to talk about a specific activity or supplement that a specific activity or supplement that a specific activity or supplement that we're going to take and then we're going we're going to take and then we're going we're going to take and then we're going to report on our results from it so I'm to report on our results from it so I'm to report on our results from it so I'm going to talk about a small molecule going to talk about a small molecule going to talk about a small molecule which a lot of people think is a peptide which a lot of people think is a peptide which a lot of people think is a peptide and Drew is going to talk about hot and and Drew is going to talk about hot and and Drew is going to talk about hot and cold therapy and Brad going to talk cold therapy and Brad going to talk cold therapy and Brad going to talk about creatine so for I'm going to go about creatine so for I'm going to go about creatine so for I'm going to go ahead and start I'm going to talk about ahead and start I'm going to talk about ahead and start I'm going to talk about the uh small molecule that I'm going to the uh small molecule that I'm going to the uh small molecule that I'm going to take and so the the small molecule which take and so the the small molecule which take and so the the small molecule which a lot of people think is a peptide now a lot of people think is a peptide now a lot of people think is a peptide now peptides a lot of people don't know peptides a lot of people don't know peptides a lot of people don't know about about about peptides but what they are is actually peptides but what they are is actually peptides but what they are is actually just uh chains of individual amino acids just uh chains of individual amino acids just uh chains of individual amino acids and uh so anyways this this uh peptides and uh so anyways this this uh peptides and uh so anyways this this uh peptides and small molecules are very popular in and small molecules are very popular in and small molecules are very popular in the fitness and sports Community right the fitness and sports Community right the fitness and sports Community right now and even in healing the body and so
39:00now and even in healing the body and so now and even in healing the body and so what I'm going to start taking and I'm what I'm going to start taking and I'm what I'm going to start taking and I'm going to start on Monday I'm going to going to start on Monday I'm going to going to start on Monday I'm going to take a small molecule called f Amino 1 take a small molecule called f Amino 1 take a small molecule called f Amino 1 mq and again a lot of people think it's mq and again a lot of people think it's mq and again a lot of people think it's a a peptide it's not uh but five 5 AM a a peptide it's not uh but five 5 AM a a peptide it's not uh but five 5 AM 1mq it enhances what's called nnmt which 1mq it enhances what's called nnmt which 1mq it enhances what's called nnmt which is nicotinamide in methyl transferase is nicotinamide in methyl transferase is nicotinamide in methyl transferase which is an enzyme that helps regulate which is an enzyme that helps regulate which is an enzyme that helps regulate cell metabolism improving mitochondrial cell metabolism improving mitochondrial cell metabolism improving mitochondrial function it does this by increasing NAD function it does this by increasing NAD function it does this by increasing NAD plus levels and nad+ I don't know if plus levels and nad+ I don't know if plus levels and nad+ I don't know if people know much about it but um what people know much about it but um what people know much about it but um what really made NAD and nmn uh very popular really made NAD and nmn uh very popular really made NAD and nmn uh very popular is David Sinclair a professor out of is David Sinclair a professor out of is David Sinclair a professor out of Harvard University he wrote a book Harvard University he wrote a book Harvard University he wrote a book called lifespan and he talked about called lifespan and he talked about called lifespan and he talked about these genes that he discovered called these genes that he discovered called these genes that he discovered called cin and there's seven different cerin cin and there's seven different cerin cin and there's seven different cerin and they have to do with aging in our and they have to do with aging in our and they have to do with aging in our body and what this uh nmn with which is body and what this uh nmn with which is body and what this uh nmn with which is what he created and he sells what he created and he sells what he created and he sells nicotinamide mononucleotide is a
40:00nicotinamide mononucleotide is a nicotinamide mononucleotide is a precursor to NAD which is nicotinamide precursor to NAD which is nicotinamide precursor to NAD which is nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and so the the five adenine dinucleotide and so the the five adenine dinucleotide and so the the five Amino helps Elevate those NAD levels Amino helps Elevate those NAD levels Amino helps Elevate those NAD levels which helps the cerin uh which are the which helps the cerin uh which are the which helps the cerin uh which are the genes in the body that help control genes in the body that help control genes in the body that help control aging uh become stronger and more aging uh become stronger and more aging uh become stronger and more healthy and slows down aging so the the healthy and slows down aging so the the healthy and slows down aging so the the research on this 5 Amino 1mq uh shows research on this 5 Amino 1mq uh shows research on this 5 Amino 1mq uh shows and I've seen it myself with my Cent and I've seen it myself with my Cent and I've seen it myself with my Cent clients cuz I do recommend this to some clients cuz I do recommend this to some clients cuz I do recommend this to some clients what it does is is it increases clients what it does is is it increases clients what it does is is it increases NAD plus levels it uh improves NAD plus levels it uh improves NAD plus levels it uh improves triglycerides it lowers LDL cholesterol triglycerides it lowers LDL cholesterol triglycerides it lowers LDL cholesterol it improves insulin sensitivity it it improves insulin sensitivity it it improves insulin sensitivity it improves a contractile force of the improves a contractile force of the improves a contractile force of the muscles so you actually can lift harder muscles so you actually can lift harder muscles so you actually can lift harder and uh jump higher run faster and it and uh jump higher run faster and it and uh jump higher run faster and it also has the anti-aging benefits of the also has the anti-aging benefits of the also has the anti-aging benefits of the NAD plus so the um the five Amino 1mq of NAD plus so the um the five Amino 1mq of NAD plus so the um the five Amino 1mq of one thing that makes it a little bit one thing that makes it a little bit one thing that makes it a little bit more popular is most peptides are
41:00more popular is most peptides are more popular is most peptides are injectable The small molecules 5 Amino injectable The small molecules 5 Amino injectable The small molecules 5 Amino 1mq comes in pill form and so a lot of 1mq comes in pill form and so a lot of 1mq comes in pill form and so a lot of people don't like doing these uh little people don't like doing these uh little people don't like doing these uh little insulin needle injections so the pill insulin needle injections so the pill insulin needle injections so the pill form I'm going to take 100 milligrams a form I'm going to take 100 milligrams a form I'm going to take 100 milligrams a day uh the recommended dosage is 50 to day uh the recommended dosage is 50 to day uh the recommended dosage is 50 to 150 milligrams a day I'm going to do 150 milligrams a day I'm going to do 150 milligrams a day I'm going to do right there in the middle and I will say right there in the middle and I will say right there in the middle and I will say I've done five Amino 1 and Q once before I've done five Amino 1 and Q once before I've done five Amino 1 and Q once before and one of the things that I really and one of the things that I really and one of the things that I really liked about it it increases your cardio liked about it it increases your cardio liked about it it increases your cardio vascular capacity and it enhances vascular capacity and it enhances vascular capacity and it enhances recuperation so when I train hard I'm recuperation so when I train hard I'm recuperation so when I train hard I'm able to um not get as fatigued and I able to um not get as fatigued and I able to um not get as fatigued and I also recuperate faster and then on top also recuperate faster and then on top also recuperate faster and then on top of that it will also help shed a little of that it will also help shed a little of that it will also help shed a little bit of fat so if you're having that last bit of fat so if you're having that last bit of fat so if you're having that last little bit of fat that's tricky the 5 little bit of fat that's tricky the 5 little bit of fat that's tricky the 5 Amino 1mq helps metabolize fat cells and Amino 1mq helps metabolize fat cells and Amino 1mq helps metabolize fat cells and it also speeds up your metabolism a it also speeds up your metabolism a it also speeds up your metabolism a little bit but the thing that I really little bit but the thing that I really little bit but the thing that I really liked was the increased endurance and liked was the increased endurance and liked was the increased endurance and the increased recuperation the increased recuperation the increased recuperation and I will say the with peptides and
42:00and I will say the with peptides and and I will say the with peptides and small molecules they're not a miracle small molecules they're not a miracle small molecules they're not a miracle and so they the more fit lean and and so they the more fit lean and and so they the more fit lean and healthy you are the better they work now healthy you are the better they work now healthy you are the better they work now if somebody's more than 15% body fat if somebody's more than 15% body fat if somebody's more than 15% body fat you're not going to notice much from uh you're not going to notice much from uh you're not going to notice much from uh peptides and small molecules but the peptides and small molecules but the peptides and small molecules but the more fit and healthy you are the more uh more fit and healthy you are the more uh more fit and healthy you are the more uh you are able to see and feel the results you are able to see and feel the results you are able to see and feel the results and so um always you get down to easily and so um always you get down to easily and so um always you get down to easily you know the 15% body fat just by doing you know the 15% body fat just by doing you know the 15% body fat just by doing what we've talked about do your what we've talked about do your what we've talked about do your nutrition do your workout you're going nutrition do your workout you're going nutrition do your workout you're going to get below 15% body fat then if you to get below 15% body fat then if you to get below 15% body fat then if you want to take that to the next level add want to take that to the next level add want to take that to the next level add a little icing on the cake that would be a little icing on the cake that would be a little icing on the cake that would be peptides that would be small molecules peptides that would be small molecules peptides that would be small molecules and five Amino 1 mq is the one I'm going and five Amino 1 mq is the one I'm going and five Amino 1 mq is the one I'm going to do I'm going to report back on it to do I'm going to report back on it to do I'm going to report back on it usually five amino1 mq you only want to usually five amino1 mq you only want to usually five amino1 mq you only want to be on it four to six weeks and then you be on it four to six weeks and then you be on it four to six weeks and then you start to get what's called receptor start to get what's called receptor start to get what's called receptor attenuation where you're it's not quite attenuation where you're it's not quite attenuation where you're it's not quite as effective just like when you first as effective just like when you first as effective just like when you first start drinking a cup coffee one coffee start drinking a cup coffee one coffee start drinking a cup coffee one coffee gets you wired then you need two coffees
43:00gets you wired then you need two coffees gets you wired then you need two coffees then you need three and so you get then you need three and so you get then you need three and so you get receptor attenuation you get that with a receptor attenuation you get that with a receptor attenuation you get that with a lot of peptides as well so you want to lot of peptides as well so you want to lot of peptides as well so you want to switch them up but anyway so that's what switch them up but anyway so that's what switch them up but anyway so that's what I'm going to start taking on Monday and I'm going to start taking on Monday and I'm going to start taking on Monday and then I'm going to report back to you then I'm going to report back to you then I'm going to report back to you guys next time we do this which will be guys next time we do this which will be guys next time we do this which will be in two weeks and I'll tell you what I'm in two weeks and I'll tell you what I'm in two weeks and I'll tell you what I'm feeling at that point and then I'll talk feeling at that point and then I'll talk feeling at that point and then I'll talk about it next time as well but anyway so about it next time as well but anyway so about it next time as well but anyway so that's what I'm going to do and so uh that's what I'm going to do and so uh that's what I'm going to do and so uh who wants to go next and talk about what who wants to go next and talk about what who wants to go next and talk about what they're doing Brad yeah um so uh I'm they're doing Brad yeah um so uh I'm they're doing Brad yeah um so uh I'm doing the hot cold um doing the hot cold um doing the hot cold um cold plunge uh sauna therapy and man cold plunge uh sauna therapy and man cold plunge uh sauna therapy and man guys I'm I'm excited about this I I guys I'm I'm excited about this I I guys I'm I'm excited about this I I didn't tell you guys of this before that didn't tell you guys of this before that didn't tell you guys of this before that we did the podcast but I'm all set up in we did the podcast but I'm all set up in we did the podcast but I'm all set up in my garage now with a with a cold plunge my garage now with a with a cold plunge my garage now with a with a cold plunge tub and a sauna wasn't that tub and a sauna wasn't that tub and a sauna wasn't that wow so so wait I wanna I'm gonna do my wow so so wait I wanna I'm gonna do my wow so so wait I wanna I'm gonna do my first I'm gonna do my very first uh one first I'm gonna do my very first uh one first I'm gonna do my very first uh one tonight so and then um I've got a it's tonight so and then um I've got a it's tonight so and then um I've got a it's one of those little portable saunas and one of those little portable saunas and
44:00one of those little portable saunas and uh but and a cold plunge tub so but you uh but and a cold plunge tub so but you uh but and a cold plunge tub so but you know the sauna and it's it's a therapy know the sauna and it's it's a therapy know the sauna and it's it's a therapy that I've wanted to try for a long time that I've wanted to try for a long time that I've wanted to try for a long time and I just I just I just haven't done it and I just I just I just haven't done it and I just I just I just haven't done it because who wants to really crawl into a because who wants to really crawl into a because who wants to really crawl into a tub full of ice water but I'm GNA do it tub full of ice water but I'm GNA do it tub full of ice water but I'm GNA do it tonight and but there's a lot of um you tonight and but there's a lot of um you tonight and but there's a lot of um you hear a lot of good reduced hear a lot of good reduced hear a lot of good reduced inflammation um detoxification with the inflammation um detoxification with the inflammation um detoxification with the sauna and another thing with the sauna I sauna and another thing with the sauna I sauna and another thing with the sauna I know in the Community uh sauna treatment know in the Community uh sauna treatment know in the Community uh sauna treatment without the cold plants just the plain without the cold plants just the plain without the cold plants just the plain old sauna treatment is um good for they old sauna treatment is um good for they old sauna treatment is um good for they say that that it could uh cause your say that that it could uh cause your say that that it could uh cause your kidneys to um secrete a uh EPO which is kidneys to um secrete a uh EPO which is kidneys to um secrete a uh EPO which is good for the red blood cell formation good for the red blood cell formation good for the red blood cell formation and any type of athletic event any just and any type of athletic event any just and any type of athletic event any just athletic ability red blood cells are are athletic ability red blood cells are are athletic ability red blood cells are are the are the thing to have because that's the are the thing to have because that's the are the thing to have because that's what carries the oxygen to the muscle what carries the oxygen to the muscle what carries the oxygen to the muscle so I'm really looking forward to that
45:00so I'm really looking forward to that so I'm really looking forward to that and um so my plan is uh and I'm gonna be and um so my plan is uh and I'm gonna be and um so my plan is uh and I'm gonna be able to really test it I'm gon I'm gonna able to really test it I'm gon I'm gonna able to really test it I'm gon I'm gonna try it tonight and then um not only try it tonight and then um not only try it tonight and then um not only subjectively see how I feel because I've subjectively see how I feel because I've subjectively see how I feel because I've got a probably it's probably the hardest got a probably it's probably the hardest got a probably it's probably the hardest 55 mile mountain bike off-road mountain 55 mile mountain bike off-road mountain 55 mile mountain bike off-road mountain bike race in the midwest tomorrow bike race in the midwest tomorrow bike race in the midwest tomorrow morning it's h called the Ozarks oneeyed morning it's h called the Ozarks oneeyed morning it's h called the Ozarks oneeyed dog and um it's 55 miles pretty rough dog and um it's 55 miles pretty rough dog and um it's 55 miles pretty rough single track and I know what I feel like single track and I know what I feel like single track and I know what I feel like after after a sixh hour mountain bike after after a sixh hour mountain bike after after a sixh hour mountain bike race I you know I know what I feel like race I you know I know what I feel like race I you know I know what I feel like so I'm gonna cold plunge sauna treatment so I'm gonna cold plunge sauna treatment so I'm gonna cold plunge sauna treatment tonight and then as soon as I get back tonight and then as soon as I get back tonight and then as soon as I get back tomorrow I'm going to do it again and so tomorrow I'm going to do it again and so tomorrow I'm going to do it again and so I'll be able to report back subjectively I'll be able to report back subjectively I'll be able to report back subjectively how I feel compared to how I would how I feel compared to how I would how I feel compared to how I would normally feel after an athletic event normally feel after an athletic event normally feel after an athletic event like that and then uh some objective like that and then uh some objective like that and then uh some objective measurements measurements measurements too uh because I keep track of my my too uh because I keep track of my my too uh because I keep track of my my resting heart rate in my HRV status and resting heart rate in my HRV status and resting heart rate in my HRV status and um I'll see how those numbers are I know
46:00um I'll see how those numbers are I know um I'll see how those numbers are I know what those numbers are after after where what those numbers are after after where what those numbers are after after where they are when I'm recovered and where they are when I'm recovered and where they are when I'm recovered and where they are after a race and we'll see how they are after a race and we'll see how they are after a race and we'll see how the cold plunge uh sauna treatment AIDS the cold plunge uh sauna treatment AIDS the cold plunge uh sauna treatment AIDS we should be able to tell subjectively we should be able to tell subjectively we should be able to tell subjectively and and and objectively if if it if it if it's going objectively if if it if it if it's going objectively if if it if it if it's going to work or not but um I I'll I'll I'm to work or not but um I I'll I'll I'm to work or not but um I I'll I'll I'm going to take a video and posted on uh going to take a video and posted on uh going to take a video and posted on uh Facebook tonight so if anybody wants to Facebook tonight so if anybody wants to Facebook tonight so if anybody wants to watch I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna take watch I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna take watch I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna take good take the blonds tonight oh good take the blonds tonight oh good take the blonds tonight oh wow you know what I so so I think we have so anyways I'll say so I think we have so anyways I'll say something so yeah yeah sorry about the something so yeah yeah sorry about the something so yeah yeah sorry about the delay everybody but anyway so one thing delay everybody but anyway so one thing delay everybody but anyway so one thing I do want to say about sauna and cold I do want to say about sauna and cold I do want to say about sauna and cold plunge um these are these are things plunge um these are these are things plunge um these are these are things that add to your your longevity and that add to your your longevity and that add to your your longevity and healthy aging so the cold therapy which healthy aging so the cold therapy which healthy aging so the cold therapy which is uh the cold plunge which he's going is uh the cold plunge which he's going is uh the cold plunge which he's going to which I will say most people don't to which I will say most people don't to which I will say most people don't stick to that because it truly is
47:00stick to that because it truly is stick to that because it truly is miserable um but it it helps your body miserable um but it it helps your body miserable um but it it helps your body release what are called cold shock release what are called cold shock release what are called cold shock proteins which actually make you more proteins which actually make you more proteins which actually make you more resilient more durable and the uh so the resilient more durable and the uh so the resilient more durable and the uh so the cold shock proteins also it helps to cold shock proteins also it helps to cold shock proteins also it helps to contribute to what's called Brown fat contribute to what's called Brown fat contribute to what's called Brown fat and brown fat is the very healthy fat and brown fat is the very healthy fat and brown fat is the very healthy fat that's on our body that also AIDS in that's on our body that also AIDS in that's on our body that also AIDS in longevity and aging and it's usually uh longevity and aging and it's usually uh longevity and aging and it's usually uh held pretty much between the the held pretty much between the the held pretty much between the the shoulder blades and the upper bat that's shoulder blades and the upper bat that's shoulder blades and the upper bat that's the majority of it and it's very the majority of it and it's very the majority of it and it's very beneficial for Health and Longevity the beneficial for Health and Longevity the beneficial for Health and Longevity the other thing that it does is is or I'm going to talk about does is is or I'm going to talk about the uh sauna one thing that's about the the uh sauna one thing that's about the the uh sauna one thing that's about the sauna that releases heat shock uh sauna that releases heat shock uh sauna that releases heat shock uh proteins which is also massively proteins which is also massively proteins which is also massively beneficial to longevity but the one beneficial to longevity but the one beneficial to longevity but the one thing I want to talk about with sauna thing I want to talk about with sauna thing I want to talk about with sauna that very few people are aware of is that very few people are aware of is that very few people are aware of is when you're in there and you're sweating when you're in there and you're sweating when you're in there and you're sweating uh your skin is the second largest organ uh your skin is the second largest organ uh your skin is the second largest organ on the body and and so we're we're we're on the body and and so we're we're we're on the body and and so we're we're we're perspiring out toxins and heavy metals
48:00perspiring out toxins and heavy metals perspiring out toxins and heavy metals and so you do not want to let that sweat and so you do not want to let that sweat and so you do not want to let that sweat dry back up on your body because you dry back up on your body because you dry back up on your body because you will reabsorb those toxins so once you will reabsorb those toxins so once you will reabsorb those toxins so once you get out of the sauna shower off get out of the sauna shower off get out of the sauna shower off immediately or at least wipe all that immediately or at least wipe all that immediately or at least wipe all that sweat off with a a towel to make sure sweat off with a a towel to make sure sweat off with a a towel to make sure you get those heavy metals and toxins you get those heavy metals and toxins you get those heavy metals and toxins off your skin so you don't reabsorb them off your skin so you don't reabsorb them off your skin so you don't reabsorb them but very very beneficial for longevity but very very beneficial for longevity but very very beneficial for longevity um and uh so anyways I'll let you guys um and uh so anyways I'll let you guys um and uh so anyways I'll let you guys go ahead go ahead go ahead that's a hey that's a great Point Jeff that's a hey that's a great Point Jeff that's a hey that's a great Point Jeff I'm glad you brought that up because I I I'm glad you brought that up because I I I'm glad you brought that up because I I didn't I I never thought of that I didn't I I never thought of that I didn't I I never thought of that I didn't I didn't think about the toxins didn't I didn't think about the toxins didn't I didn't think about the toxins being on your skin after you get out of being on your skin after you get out of being on your skin after you get out of the sauna uh I think I'll go to the the sauna uh I think I'll go to the the sauna uh I think I'll go to the shower and not back in the cold tub but shower and not back in the cold tub but shower and not back in the cold tub but um another thing I wanted to add we were um another thing I wanted to add we were um another thing I wanted to add we were talking about mindset you know and I'm talking about mindset you know and I'm talking about mindset you know and I'm just gonna I'm gonna do uh I'm G to do a just gonna I'm gonna do uh I'm G to do a just gonna I'm gonna do uh I'm G to do a little meditation before I get in that little meditation before I get in that little meditation before I get in that cold cold uh ice water because we were cold cold uh ice water because we were cold cold uh ice water because we were talking about mindset and I think one of talking about mindset and I think one of talking about mindset and I think one of the things with the cold plch too is
49:00the things with the cold plch too is the things with the cold plch too is you're training your mind how to be you're training your mind how to be you're training your mind how to be comfortable in an uncomfortable comfortable in an uncomfortable comfortable in an uncomfortable situation and I I think that can't be situation and I I think that can't be situation and I I think that can't be anything but but but helpful for for anything but but but helpful for for anything but but but helpful for for everything involved but I'm going to everything involved but I'm going to everything involved but I'm going to give a full report and I'm going to give give a full report and I'm going to give give a full report and I'm going to give it I'm I'm gonna do a lot of it a lot of it I'm I'm gonna do a lot of it a lot of it I'm I'm gonna do a lot of it a lot of this Brett I'm excited to see how this this Brett I'm excited to see how this this Brett I'm excited to see how this works because my perspective is in line works because my perspective is in line works because my perspective is in line with what Jeff just said in terms of the with what Jeff just said in terms of the with what Jeff just said in terms of the benefits but I'm going to take the benefits but I'm going to take the benefits but I'm going to take the scientific element out of it and just scientific element out of it and just scientific element out of it and just present what I'm personally experiencing present what I'm personally experiencing present what I'm personally experiencing as it relates to um my um susceptibility as it relates to um my um susceptibility as it relates to um my um susceptibility to cold and if you remember we have a to cold and if you remember we have a to cold and if you remember we have a Home Care Agency so we really kind of Home Care Agency so we really kind of Home Care Agency so we really kind of immersed in older patients and to see immersed in older patients and to see immersed in older patients and to see how um their their tolerance to cold how um their their tolerance to cold how um their their tolerance to cold their is just it's it's unbelievable how their is just it's it's unbelievable how their is just it's it's unbelievable how as they get older they don't even want as they get older they don't even want as they get older they don't even want to get out of bed because just the air to get out of bed because just the air to get out of bed because just the air temperature from the bed underneath the temperature from the bed underneath the temperature from the bed underneath the covers and out covers and out covers and out and what was interesting is um I'm a
50:00and what was interesting is um I'm a and what was interesting is um I'm a scuba diver but I haven't done it in scuba diver but I haven't done it in scuba diver but I haven't done it in years and um I'm finding that my own years and um I'm finding that my own years and um I'm finding that my own cold tolerance has gone down cold tolerance has gone down cold tolerance has gone down significantly um you know you see young significantly um you know you see young significantly um you know you see young kids are running in especially in kids are running in especially in kids are running in especially in California the ocean is cold and they're California the ocean is cold and they're California the ocean is cold and they're running in and out and doing all this running in and out and doing all this running in and out and doing all this stuff and that's the stuff I used to do stuff and that's the stuff I used to do stuff and that's the stuff I used to do probably even into my 40s I was still probably even into my 40s I was still probably even into my 40s I was still kind of hanging out and doing um body kind of hanging out and doing um body kind of hanging out and doing um body surfing and stuff and now it's like ah I surfing and stuff and now it's like ah I surfing and stuff and now it's like ah I I just don't want the sheer en un I just don't want the sheer en un I just don't want the sheer en un enjoyment of the feeling and and it I enjoyment of the feeling and and it I enjoyment of the feeling and and it I came to this interesting realization came to this interesting realization came to this interesting realization that in looking at the our clients and that in looking at the our clients and that in looking at the our clients and looking at what I'm experiencing I looking at what I'm experiencing I looking at what I'm experiencing I believe there is a correlation between believe there is a correlation between believe there is a correlation between your cold tolerance and the your long your cold tolerance and the your long your cold tolerance and the your long your your the your what I want to say your your the your what I want to say your your the your what I want to say your essence your energy your your your essence your energy your your your essence your energy your your longevity your your age it your your longevity your your age it your your longevity your your age it your your tolerance to cold seems to to be tolerance to cold seems to to be tolerance to cold seems to to be tracking with as you get older if that
51:00tracking with as you get older if that tracking with as you get older if that tolerance goes down there's a whole tolerance goes down there's a whole tolerance goes down there's a whole element of your body that is degrading element of your body that is degrading element of your body that is degrading and and if you cannot tolerate cold I and and if you cannot tolerate cold I and and if you cannot tolerate cold I believe that affects your immune system believe that affects your immune system believe that affects your immune system I believe it affects your cardiovascular I believe it affects your cardiovascular I believe it affects your cardiovascular system and your hormonal system and system and your hormonal system and system and your hormonal system and these are the very things that you see these are the very things that you see these are the very things that you see degrading as you get older and so um degrading as you get older and so um degrading as you get older and so um even though I haven't done the cold even though I haven't done the cold even though I haven't done the cold plunge yet I'm trying to get my mind set plunge yet I'm trying to get my mind set plunge yet I'm trying to get my mind set as well to do something like this I as well to do something like this I as well to do something like this I believe it is believe it is believe it is um it's something that we should do as um it's something that we should do as um it's something that we should do as we get older because it is a I don't we get older because it is a I don't we get older because it is a I don't know if there's even any science behind know if there's even any science behind know if there's even any science behind it but I believe there is a tie between it but I believe there is a tie between it but I believe there is a tie between your ability to handle cold and your your ability to handle cold and your your ability to handle cold and your immunity your your strength of your immunity your your strength of your immunity your your strength of your immune system and your strength of your immune system and your strength of your immune system and your strength of your cardiac system and um so it'll be great cardiac system and um so it'll be great cardiac system and um so it'll be great Brad to see because you're already in Brad to see because you're already in Brad to see because you're already in great cardiovascular shape um but it'll great cardiovascular shape um but it'll great cardiovascular shape um but it'll be interesting to see how you feel and be interesting to see how you feel and be interesting to see how you feel and how that how you can toughen up mentally how that how you can toughen up mentally how that how you can toughen up mentally to do that and if you feel any any more
52:00to do that and if you feel any any more to do that and if you feel any any more robust I'm just curious if you feel robust I'm just curious if you feel robust I'm just curious if you feel literally more robust and more youthful literally more robust and more youthful literally more robust and more youthful the better you can tolerate that I right the better you can tolerate that I right the better you can tolerate that I right it's gonna be it's gonna be very it's gonna be it's gonna be very it's gonna be it's gonna be very interesting Drew I I'm so excited about interesting Drew I I'm so excited about interesting Drew I I'm so excited about trying it good well uh as for me um I um trying it good well uh as for me um I um trying it good well uh as for me um I um was already starting just coincidentally was already starting just coincidentally was already starting just coincidentally uh doing creatin for the first time in uh doing creatin for the first time in uh doing creatin for the first time in six years and um you you know six years and um you you know six years and um you you know interestingly enough when I first I took interestingly enough when I first I took interestingly enough when I first I took it for the first time for the contest it for the first time for the contest it for the first time for the contest and I have to say that I noticed a and I have to say that I noticed a and I have to say that I noticed a difference I know that was a supplement difference I know that was a supplement difference I know that was a supplement that I really felt made a difference in that I really felt made a difference in that I really felt made a difference in my muscle mass yeah my muscle mass yeah my muscle mass yeah um so I started about a week and a half um so I started about a week and a half um so I started about a week and a half ago but I'm not on a bulking program I ago but I'm not on a bulking program I ago but I'm not on a bulking program I just wanted to observe if I was what just wanted to observe if I was what just wanted to observe if I was what what it was going to do to me I'm older what it was going to do to me I'm older what it was going to do to me I'm older so I I believe my creating levels are so I I believe my creating levels are so I I believe my creating levels are low and um interestingly enough uh I low and um interestingly enough uh I low and um interestingly enough uh I haven't gotone into a bulking program so haven't gotone into a bulking program so haven't gotone into a bulking program so I'm not I'm not training to gain muscle
53:00I'm not I'm not training to gain muscle I'm not I'm not training to gain muscle mass but I did notice um a slight mass but I did notice um a slight mass but I did notice um a slight increase in the way my shirts are increase in the way my shirts are increase in the way my shirts are fitting just a little bit more fullness fitting just a little bit more fullness fitting just a little bit more fullness and interestingly enough also on muscle and interestingly enough also on muscle and interestingly enough also on muscle pump um just even doing exercises that pump um just even doing exercises that pump um just even doing exercises that were not necessarily where I'm doing were not necessarily where I'm doing were not necessarily where I'm doing three sets of 10 and you know really three sets of 10 and you know really three sets of 10 and you know really trying to tear that muscle fiber down I trying to tear that muscle fiber down I trying to tear that muscle fiber down I just felt stronger um and uh you know I just felt stronger um and uh you know I just felt stronger um and uh you know I know there's the placebo effect but I know there's the placebo effect but I know there's the placebo effect but I really think I can discount it in this really think I can discount it in this really think I can discount it in this case because I've been at this long case because I've been at this long case because I've been at this long enough that I I kind of can feel in in enough that I I kind of can feel in in enough that I I kind of can feel in in see those see those see those differences minutely without being differences minutely without being differences minutely without being influenced by the placebo effect and um influenced by the placebo effect and um influenced by the placebo effect and um I didn't do the loading I I didn't feel I didn't do the loading I I didn't feel I didn't do the loading I I didn't feel like I needed to because I wasn't on a like I needed to because I wasn't on a like I needed to because I wasn't on a bulking phase I just started taking the bulking phase I just started taking the bulking phase I just started taking the five gram servings once a day with water five gram servings once a day with water five gram servings once a day with water um no no juice or no sugar and um I um no no juice or no sugar and um I um no no juice or no sugar and um I found I've tolerated it very well uh no
54:00found I've tolerated it very well uh no found I've tolerated it very well uh no none of the stomach bloating and some of none of the stomach bloating and some of none of the stomach bloating and some of the things that some people say they've the things that some people say they've the things that some people say they've had um and so I'm just going to keep it had um and so I'm just going to keep it had um and so I'm just going to keep it this five grams I am planning um over this five grams I am planning um over this five grams I am planning um over the course of the next few weeks to the course of the next few weeks to the course of the next few weeks to start implementing more weight training start implementing more weight training start implementing more weight training and just get a feel for um you know what and just get a feel for um you know what and just get a feel for um you know what this is is doing but I I I can say um this is is doing but I I I can say um this is is doing but I I I can say um from my experience if I had to pick uh a from my experience if I had to pick uh a from my experience if I had to pick uh a supplement or two that I felt everybody supplement or two that I felt everybody supplement or two that I felt everybody should try I think creatin W and um the should try I think creatin W and um the should try I think creatin W and um the other one maybe be a protein shake only other one maybe be a protein shake only other one maybe be a protein shake only because it's just a sheer convenience of because it's just a sheer convenience of because it's just a sheer convenience of getting calories and it takes care of getting calories and it takes care of getting calories and it takes care of your sweet your sweet tooth but um we'll your sweet your sweet tooth but um we'll your sweet your sweet tooth but um we'll see over the next uh few weeks to a see over the next uh few weeks to a see over the next uh few weeks to a couple a few months where this where I couple a few months where this where I couple a few months where this where I where my opinion is on it but if it's where my opinion is on it but if it's where my opinion is on it but if it's anything like the first time around and anything like the first time around and anything like the first time around and it seems to be it's a positive effect yeah so so um I want to say something
55:00yeah so so um I want to say something about creatine um I when I did the uh about creatine um I when I did the uh about creatine um I when I did the uh body of work challenge I took every body of work challenge I took every body of work challenge I took every supplement that EAS made and I just supplement that EAS made and I just supplement that EAS made and I just because I wanted to win so I took every because I wanted to win so I took every because I wanted to win so I took every supplement they made so I didn't know supplement they made so I didn't know supplement they made so I didn't know what was doing what and um but what what was doing what and um but what what was doing what and um but what happened was I quit taking supplements happened was I quit taking supplements happened was I quit taking supplements probably 10 years ago is when I quit Tak probably 10 years ago is when I quit Tak probably 10 years ago is when I quit Tak taking supplements basically but then taking supplements basically but then taking supplements basically but then you know I know all the research the you know I know all the research the you know I know all the research the science behind creatine so about a year science behind creatine so about a year science behind creatine so about a year ago I said you know what let me give ago I said you know what let me give ago I said you know what let me give creatine a creatine a creatine a try unbelievable unbelievable the uh I try unbelievable unbelievable the uh I try unbelievable unbelievable the uh I would say my my strength and my would say my my strength and my would say my my strength and my endurance went up about 10% it had endurance went up about 10% it had endurance went up about 10% it had steroid like effects my it went up about steroid like effects my it went up about steroid like effects my it went up about 10% and also the muscle I probably 10% and also the muscle I probably 10% and also the muscle I probably gained 2 pounds of muscle from it solid gained 2 pounds of muscle from it solid gained 2 pounds of muscle from it solid muscle now now a lot of people do have muscle now now a lot of people do have muscle now now a lot of people do have um problems with bloating from creatine um problems with bloating from creatine um problems with bloating from creatine and one of the things that can help with
56:00and one of the things that can help with and one of the things that can help with the bloating is if they take small micro the bloating is if they take small micro the bloating is if they take small micro doses throughout the day like if they do doses throughout the day like if they do doses throughout the day like if they do two grams in the morning two grams at two grams in the morning two grams at two grams in the morning two grams at noon and two grams at night that usually noon and two grams at night that usually noon and two grams at night that usually will prevent the bloating so uh five will prevent the bloating so uh five will prevent the bloating so uh five grams is generally what you want to take grams is generally what you want to take grams is generally what you want to take and what the recent science and research and what the recent science and research and what the recent science and research shows you do not need to load you just shows you do not need to load you just shows you do not need to load you just take five grams a day and the the um take five grams a day and the the um take five grams a day and the the um creatine is created Naturally by us in creatine is created Naturally by us in creatine is created Naturally by us in our pancreas our kidneys our liver and our pancreas our kidneys our liver and our pancreas our kidneys our liver and and 95% of that creatine is stored in and 95% of that creatine is stored in and 95% of that creatine is stored in our muscle tissue the other 5% has our muscle tissue the other 5% has our muscle tissue the other 5% has everything to do with heart healthy everything to do with heart healthy everything to do with heart healthy heart function and healthy brain heart function and healthy brain heart function and healthy brain function and what they show is women es function and what they show is women es function and what they show is women es especially benefit more from CRE especially benefit more from CRE especially benefit more from CRE creatine than men do because they have creatine than men do because they have creatine than men do because they have 70 to 80% less creatine stores than a 70 to 80% less creatine stores than a 70 to 80% less creatine stores than a man does and on top of that elderly man does and on top of that elderly man does and on top of that elderly people the biggest benefits of creatine people the biggest benefits of creatine people the biggest benefits of creatine they get because it improves cognition they get because it improves cognition they get because it improves cognition it improves even depression it improves it improves even depression it improves it improves even depression it improves their strength their strength their strength it improves their their uh energy so
57:00it improves their their uh energy so it improves their their uh energy so creatine which we create naturally but creatine which we create naturally but creatine which we create naturally but we don't we create less and less of it we don't we create less and less of it we don't we create less and less of it as we age just like hormones they as we age just like hormones they as we age just like hormones they diminish as we age uh the older and the diminish as we age uh the older and the diminish as we age uh the older and the the women can benefit more from creatine the women can benefit more from creatine the women can benefit more from creatine but for me even a healthy fit guy that but for me even a healthy fit guy that but for me even a healthy fit guy that was already in top shape once I included was already in top shape once I included was already in top shape once I included creatine it was it was better than I creatine it was it was better than I creatine it was it was better than I expected and that's all I added I add expected and that's all I added I add expected and that's all I added I add simply added creatine I take 10 grams a simply added creatine I take 10 grams a simply added creatine I take 10 grams a day just because I go out and I do my day just because I go out and I do my day just because I go out and I do my Sprints in the middle of the day and Sprints in the middle of the day and Sprints in the middle of the day and then I train with weights a little bit then I train with weights a little bit then I train with weights a little bit later in the day so I do a little bit later in the day so I do a little bit later in the day so I do a little bit more training so I don't suggest anybody more training so I don't suggest anybody more training so I don't suggest anybody take more than 10 grams a day not that take more than 10 grams a day not that take more than 10 grams a day not that it's detrimental it's not some people it's detrimental it's not some people it's detrimental it's not some people believe it's bad for the liver it's not believe it's bad for the liver it's not believe it's bad for the liver it's not they're they're thinking of creatinin they're they're thinking of creatinin they're they're thinking of creatinin which is different and so the the uh so which is different and so the the uh so which is different and so the the uh so five grams a day no need to load five grams a day no need to load five grams a day no need to load everybody on the planet could benefit everybody on the planet could benefit everybody on the planet could benefit from creatin anyway so uh Brad was there from creatin anyway so uh Brad was there from creatin anyway so uh Brad was there anything you want to add to that or anything you want to add to that or anything you want to add to that or Drew no I think you're tying it's your
58:00Drew no I think you're tying it's your Drew no I think you're tying it's your reference to being uh especially helpful reference to being uh especially helpful reference to being uh especially helpful for older people I think um I I don't for older people I think um I I don't for older people I think um I I don't know anybody uh that um that I'm moreare know anybody uh that um that I'm moreare know anybody uh that um that I'm moreare of that's older this taking creatin and of that's older this taking creatin and of that's older this taking creatin and with sarcopenia and it probably be worth with sarcopenia and it probably be worth with sarcopenia and it probably be worth having a discussion about sarcopenia in having a discussion about sarcopenia in having a discussion about sarcopenia in the future but I mean it's devastating the future but I mean it's devastating the future but I mean it's devastating we watch patients that um are mobile and we watch patients that um are mobile and we watch patients that um are mobile and they get sick uh for some reason and be they get sick uh for some reason and be they get sick uh for some reason and be immobile for a few days and the amount immobile for a few days and the amount immobile for a few days and the amount of muscle wasting that occurs in just a of muscle wasting that occurs in just a of muscle wasting that occurs in just a few days is few days is few days is devastating uh and it's shocking because devastating uh and it's shocking because devastating uh and it's shocking because you know normally people when they are you know normally people when they are you know normally people when they are immobile for a few days when you're immobile for a few days when you're immobile for a few days when you're younger you're not losing muscle mass younger you're not losing muscle mass younger you're not losing muscle mass but you do lose substantial muscle mass but you do lose substantial muscle mass but you do lose substantial muscle mass you get older so I suspect the creatin you get older so I suspect the creatin you get older so I suspect the creatin levels May play a part in that I don't levels May play a part in that I don't levels May play a part in that I don't know for sure but it just seems like um know for sure but it just seems like um know for sure but it just seems like um as I'm like Jeff I I just felt like as I'm like Jeff I I just felt like as I'm like Jeff I I just felt like creatin has is one of those supplements
59:00creatin has is one of those supplements creatin has is one of those supplements that you can tell is working and it that you can tell is working and it that you can tell is working and it seemed like it would be reasonable that seemed like it would be reasonable that seemed like it would be reasonable that they would start um maybe looking at they would start um maybe looking at they would start um maybe looking at that as a that as a that as a potential um uh way to reduce sarcopenia potential um uh way to reduce sarcopenia potential um uh way to reduce sarcopenia as you get older as you get older as you get older so well you know this is a great so well you know this is a great so well you know this is a great conversation guys I haven't tried I conversation guys I haven't tried I conversation guys I haven't tried I haven't taken any creatine for years and haven't taken any creatine for years and haven't taken any creatine for years and um I don't know I'm a little motivated um I don't know I'm a little motivated um I don't know I'm a little motivated now to see I remember the effects of it now to see I remember the effects of it now to see I remember the effects of it but yeah yeah I think I'm gonna give it but yeah yeah I think I'm gonna give it but yeah yeah I think I'm gonna give it give it a shot myself yeah Brad I'm give it a shot myself yeah Brad I'm give it a shot myself yeah Brad I'm surprised because you know seriously surprised because you know seriously surprised because you know seriously you're in a sport that takes incredible you're in a sport that takes incredible you're in a sport that takes incredible endurance I mean really I mean it's it's endurance I mean really I mean it's it's endurance I mean really I mean it's it's tough and um I'd be really curious is um tough and um I'd be really curious is um tough and um I'd be really curious is um because you also have notebooks and you because you also have notebooks and you because you also have notebooks and you really keep records to how that would really keep records to how that would really keep records to how that would impact your um impact your um impact your um yes yes yes yeah yeah I'm um yeah I'm G I'm going to yeah yeah I'm um yeah I'm G I'm going to yeah yeah I'm um yeah I'm G I'm going to give it a try we I've got
1:00give it a try we I've got give it a try we I've got uh F I've got five more uh races this uh F I've got five more uh races this uh F I've got five more uh races this year and they're all kind of boom boom year and they're all kind of boom boom year and they're all kind of boom boom boom right next to each other um all the boom right next to each other um all the boom right next to each other um all the way till the first week of November um way till the first week of November um way till the first week of November um which is the last one down in Austin which is the last one down in Austin which is the last one down in Austin Texas um so I think uh maybe it's a Texas um so I think uh maybe it's a Texas um so I think uh maybe it's a little too uh late to try it for this little too uh late to try it for this little too uh late to try it for this one tomorrow but I think I think I'm I'm one tomorrow but I think I think I'm I'm one tomorrow but I think I think I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna give it a go yeah yeah gonna I'm gonna give it a go yeah yeah gonna I'm gonna give it a go yeah yeah I'd be curious to how that works out I'd be curious to how that works out I'd be curious to how that works out yeah so so you guys that was a phenomenal so so you guys that was a phenomenal podcast today you guys really great podcast today you guys really great podcast today you guys really great information I appreciate it and the uh information I appreciate it and the uh information I appreciate it and the uh so what we're going to do is we're going so what we're going to do is we're going so what we're going to do is we're going to do this right now uh every two weeks to do this right now uh every two weeks to do this right now uh every two weeks and we're going to come in here and and we're going to come in here and and we're going to come in here and we're going to report on our progress on we're going to report on our progress on we're going to report on our progress on the things we just spoke about but we're the things we just spoke about but we're the things we just spoke about but we're going to be trying new things along the going to be trying new things along the going to be trying new things along the way also and if anybody has any way also and if anybody has any way also and if anybody has any suggestions on what path you think we suggestions on what path you think we suggestions on what path you think we should take with our discussions go should take with our discussions go should take with our discussions go ahead and give us your input put ahead and give us your input put ahead and give us your input put comments in the comment section comments in the comment section comments in the comment section uh but anyways this was really exciting
