man.
Speaker:It's nice to be here.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And, uh, Had you on the show two other times now, right?
Speaker:I think so.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Good other times.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Most primal person I've had on the show.
Speaker:It's how we do it, man.
Speaker:And, uh, I've already asked you all the fire, rapid fire questions,
Speaker:probably a million times now.
Speaker:But, uh, any books that you've read lately that you you're taking a massive mentality
Speaker:shift from or anything like that?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Um, Space on his name.
Speaker:Non-negotiable by Wes Watson.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So Wes Watson spent 10 years incarcerated in California jail.
Speaker:And, um, it's cool.
Speaker:He kind of ties it back into like the stoic philosophies.
Speaker:He read a lot, read a lot of.
Speaker:Um, books like, uh, on manifestation and stuff while it
Speaker:was in while he was incarcerated.
Speaker:And he liked developed his whole training program and business program while in.
Speaker:Wow.
Speaker:Yeah, so it's pretty cool.
Speaker:Um, and one thing that he talks about in there was using regret
Speaker:as like your, as like a good tool to get better in life, right?
Speaker:Like.
Speaker:If you're going to regret something, that's a really good guidance to not do
Speaker:that thing, but you might regret, right?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And then same thing, looking back at your life.
Speaker:If you regret something, it's a good thing.
Speaker:Not to re repeat in your life either.
Speaker:So I really liked that concept.
Speaker:Um, yeah, so that, and then just, just the discipline and focus it
Speaker:takes, I mean, being incarcerated, not to get involved with.
Speaker:Crazy shit going on in jail prison.
Speaker:Um, being locked in the shoe for, I think there was one time he would,
Speaker:they were on lockdown for like a one and a half years almost in the shoe.
Speaker:Like Matt, maximum security.
Speaker:Ver one hour, a yard time a day, like.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And he was able to stick to a program.
Speaker:You know what I mean and continue getting better.
Speaker:So just that discipline and focus.
Speaker:Was huge and super inspiring, obviously.
Speaker:So yeah, it's a good book.
Speaker:Good read.
Speaker:Cool.
Speaker:Um, non-negotiable west Watson.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Shout out.
Speaker:I like that.
Speaker:It's a.
Speaker:Reminds me of like this quote by.
Speaker:Um, I already forgot some, one of the Hindu like gurus and he talked
Speaker:about like how pain is a good thing.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And he says pain is the way your body knows not to do
Speaker:something harmful to itself.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:You.
Speaker:You know, and if you apply that to life, like why would you do
Speaker:something that's going to hurt you?
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Like, and so unfortunately we don't have that sense when we're
Speaker:doing stuff that isn't literally physically causing harm to our body.
Speaker:But yeah, I always think of that.
Speaker:I'm like, yeah.
Speaker:Is this going to, this is going to harm you or do good
Speaker:to, you know, it's trying to.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:But, uh, yeah.
Speaker:And then also just like talking on discipline as well.
Speaker:I think you're super disciplined.
Speaker:We've been talking a lot about this, but, uh, I also thought it was so interesting
Speaker:and I want to like, Personally, sit down and just like, think out this thought
Speaker:more, but I've really been thinking about how life is kind of like very paradoxical,
Speaker:like kind of just conundrum and like how I think we were saying like, as a.
Speaker:As a business owner.
Speaker:A lot of people all like really have this.
Speaker:Like idea of like going into business for themselves because the freedom.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Freedom of time, freedom and take off whatever you want.
Speaker:Like no one telling you what to do.
Speaker:You set the rules and then you become the business owner and you realize,
Speaker:yes, you technically have that.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And you can do it, but.
Speaker:You really shouldn't.
Speaker:You know, like if you want to be successful, then you
Speaker:better not be waking up late.
Speaker:You better not be taking off.
Speaker:Honestly.
Speaker:Like you could take days off when you need it for your mental health
Speaker:and all that, but like, you better be getting after it, you know?
Speaker:. Um, yeah, but how actually, how are you liking this bomb?
Speaker:Yup.
Speaker:Yup.
Speaker:Yup.
Speaker:A little shout out to Organifi.
Speaker:For those of you who don't know definitely one of the biggest
Speaker:partners of the show and, uh, yeah, we're drinking their Chagas.
Speaker:Kai called hard kill tastes.
Speaker:Good.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Feeling a little.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Little a.
Speaker:Rhythms starting to rise a little bit.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Heart rate.
Speaker:A little bit, I'm pretty sensitive to, yeah.
Speaker:I feel it feels good.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:No, that's good.
Speaker:I'm a, um, I'm kind of the opposite.
Speaker:I really have to pay attention.
Speaker:Um, to notice something going on, but it's good though.
Speaker:Tastes good too.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Uh, so anyways, Caleb, let's, uh, I want to hear something I want to hear.
Speaker:What.
Speaker:Uh, day in your life.
Speaker:It looks like from.
Speaker:Health and nutrition to work out to mental health, to family time, to like, how
Speaker:do you, how do you divvy up your time?
Speaker:You're a, you're a high functioning person.
Speaker:So like, what does it look like?
Speaker:You know, Yeah, man.
Speaker:Um, well,
Speaker:It took a while to like, build a good rhythm to where I don't burn out.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:Cause like you said earlier as building a business as an
Speaker:entrepreneur, you have freedom, right.
Speaker:And that's freedom to do nothing.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And make no income and make no impact or that's total freedom
Speaker:for the opposite as well.
Speaker:And so it goes hand in hand, just like the amount.
Speaker:Of work.
Speaker:You know this, you listen to it all.
Speaker:Um, Tony Robbins, any successful business people, right?
Speaker:Like there's always like a grind phase.
Speaker:There's always a phase where you, you, you have to put in the work, right.
Speaker:Luck favors the hardworking.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And so this past year, like literally moving up to Washington with family,
Speaker:living in an RV, owning that process and like literally becoming militant
Speaker:about my time has completely changed.
Speaker:My habits changed.
Speaker:My income changed my impact, everything.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Wow.
Speaker:And it's just that going back to that discipline and doing it from a place
Speaker:of what do I really want to create?
Speaker:What am I really trying to create here?
Speaker:Am I trying to change lives?
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:Like let that be the guidance.
Speaker:Let that be that.
Speaker:Inner voice, right?
Speaker:It's like continue to be like, okay, abundance, trying to help
Speaker:people abundance on all levels.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:I'm kind of rambling a little bit, but no, you're good.
Speaker:From, I guess from day to day, this past year, you know, living in an RV and having
Speaker:one, everything just simplified, right?
Speaker:Like diet simplified.
Speaker:Uh, things right.
Speaker:I literally, everything is in storage right now and I just have minimal
Speaker:things, minimal equipment around me.
Speaker:Um, that's been huge because that's allowed.
Speaker:For that mental capacity to be opened up a little bit more and focus more
Speaker:on what I need to get done, whatever.
Speaker:No, I need to get done.
Speaker:And, um, Getting that done.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Straight up.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah, shit doesn't do itself.
Speaker:You have to do it.
Speaker:So that's a huge thing is with the entrepreneur entrepreneurial endeavor.
Speaker:And becoming entrepreneur, entrepreneur isn't for everybody.
Speaker:And it's not, um, It's not an easy thing to do, like yeah, of course.
Speaker:Manifestation is real.
Speaker:Uh, law of attraction is real.
Speaker:The reticular activating system in the brain is real.
Speaker:But luck favors the hardworking and where you put that energy.
Speaker:Your focus and energy goes to where you, you think and what you do.
Speaker:And so this past year, man, um, Literally, you know, trying to wake
Speaker:up and try my best to wake up 5, 5 30.
Speaker:Um, that's when the day usually starts and should be honest.
Speaker:Some days I wake up at five 30, I have some water and I get to work.
Speaker:Like literally there were times where this past year, like, I wanted to go.
Speaker:Gets do some things with the family, right?
Speaker:Like my niece, she's a dancer.
Speaker:And so we went to, uh, out to Seattle.
Speaker:I mean, it was like a whole day thing.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Okay, cool.
Speaker:I'm getting up at five.
Speaker:I'm knocking out a bunch of work until you need to leave at noon.
Speaker:Sure enough.
Speaker:I had a seven hour Workday before we even left and I got a shit load of stuff done.
Speaker:So I'm a couple of books, one.
Speaker:Um, Alex or mosey?
Speaker:Yep.
Speaker:A hundred million dollar offers totally shifted my, my mind frame around like
Speaker:not having habits become a crutch.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:So like not having routines.
Speaker:Sorry.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:You're not having your morning routines become a crutch.
Speaker:Instead do what you need to do.
Speaker:Like had, let those be your routines and habits, right.
Speaker:Sure we want to meditate.
Speaker:We want to, you know, um, Half of water with apple cider vinegar,
Speaker:all these healthy things that we know we need to do have maybe a
Speaker:journaling session, things like that.
Speaker:But on the days,
Speaker:That you don't do those.
Speaker:And you that you let that mess up your whole day.
Speaker:Then that becomes a crutch.
Speaker:Yep.
Speaker:It's like, I didn't get this done.
Speaker:Therefore, my day is shit.
Speaker:And that's just like the all or nothing mindset.
Speaker:And it's like, no, I didn't get this done, but I'm going to get some more stuff done.
Speaker:You know, Um, And another book.
Speaker:Uh, ed my let's, I think it's the power of one more his book or max
Speaker:out, one of them, both of them.
Speaker:Great books.
Speaker:Um, but he breaks apart his days into three days.
Speaker:Uh, so he almost like, like three.
Speaker:My quarters, right?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Like three thirds.
Speaker:So he breaks up his days and the three days.
Speaker:And so he's like, no, I got it.
Speaker:I got an eight hour day in the morning at eight hours a day in
Speaker:the mid day and essentially eight hours a day later on in the day.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And therefore you can get a lot done in a day, but.
Speaker:I think.
Speaker:I'm kind of rambling as far as, um, your question, but, um, it comes back
Speaker:to being present in everything you do.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Whatever you're doing.
Speaker:Do it.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Really try it.
Speaker:Like that's what I've really been focusing on is like, okay.
Speaker:If I'm going to get up at five.
Speaker:Five 30 or whatever.
Speaker:Get up.
Speaker:Get do be present.
Speaker:Have your water.
Speaker:Get up, let your body naturally wake up.
Speaker:Be present and make some coffee.
Speaker:Be present, sit down, get some things done.
Speaker:And just be true, truthfully being as present as possible when you're doing.
Speaker:The things that you're doing.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:That way you becoming a human being and not like the human
Speaker:doing kind of saying, right.
Speaker:Um,
Speaker:And you respond better to like adversity and stuff.
Speaker:When you are more present.
Speaker:Um, But usually, I guess to go back on the original car driver asked me,
Speaker:cause I keep going all over the place.
Speaker:No, wake up time.
Speaker:Usually like 5 30, 5, 5 30.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Um, and then usually get a little work done, have a little snack, um, and then
Speaker:hit the gym, you know, around, try to hit the gym, get in the gym around 7, 7 30.
Speaker:Um, Jim or a walk.
Speaker:So usually when the sunset's coming up, definitely try and sync up
Speaker:with that and get out of the house.
Speaker:Get the natural light in everything you've talked about on your podcast, right?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Set master Katy and rhythms is I know that I'm going to have better
Speaker:sleep and better hormonal release throughout the day and everything.
Speaker:Um, Yeah, go to the gym.
Speaker:Definitely think it's a good, good way to start.
Speaker:The day is getting in, um, your workouts earlier in the day,
Speaker:rather than later in the day.
Speaker:There's some studies on that and stuff, but from my experience with
Speaker:helping clients develop better habits, I've noticed better adherence
Speaker:to those habits to working out.
Speaker:If you just get it done early.
Speaker:Um, rather than re later on in the day after work, you might not feel like it.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:You might be like tired, stressed out.
Speaker:Adding more stress is going to stress you out even more.
Speaker:So you're less likely to do it.
Speaker:So getting after it and that, like, I usually have a better day
Speaker:when I work out in the morning.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:With my goals, you know, this past year I've been, I've put on some muscle.
Speaker:And that was a huge goal of mine is to like, get literally in the best
Speaker:physical shape, you know, I could, I could get, so it's pretty cool.
Speaker:I got got there pretty exciting, but.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:You know, especially being like a college athlete and stuff.
Speaker:Um, And then.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:You know, Following, truthfully following my calendar too.
Speaker:I got something huge.
Speaker:I block out in the morning.
Speaker:I have on my calendar, wake up time, deep work sessions.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:So if I'm working early in the morning and I'm waking up and I'm
Speaker:getting that deep work in, whether that's writing content building.
Speaker:Uh, programs for clients and stuff like that it's scheduled in.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:And then gym time and scheduled in.
Speaker:Um, Setting boundaries, right?
Speaker:Like, I don't take calls until after about nine 30 or 10.
Speaker:So that's when I usually take coaching calls.
Speaker:Um, I, and I cut that off around five.
Speaker:At the latest, right?
Speaker:Like, I don't want to take calls going into my nighttime routine.
Speaker:Um, which I'll get into a minute.
Speaker:Um, And then just scheduling and everything I need to get done for the day.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:Like for the week, you know, looking at your week, um, you know, I have
Speaker:a specific day where I do my client.
Speaker:Check-ins right.
Speaker:So that's something I need to get done for my business.
Speaker:I do a specific day.
Speaker:Um, specific hours where I'm doing social media outreach.
Speaker:So reaching out to prospective clients, um, and engaging with, with the community
Speaker:there, I have specific times where I'm building my clients programs, um,
Speaker:and then just sticking to those right.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:It's sure if it's cool if it's there, but then it's really awesome to stick to them.
Speaker:Um, so that's great.
Speaker:And then as far as family time and stuff, I usually try to, well, I want
Speaker:to talk about eating habits as well, a little bit, because that's something
Speaker:that's been really important, especially as someone who's in control of their.
Speaker:Environment and working environment.
Speaker:Um, and that being co mingled, right.
Speaker:In an RV.
Speaker:And then in a small space and a lot of people working from home
Speaker:might relate to this too, is, um, you really got to break up your,
Speaker:your desk time and your food time.
Speaker:I have to, like, it's so important for health, so
Speaker:important for just peace, right?
Speaker:Like giving yourself a break from work, you get off of lunch and
Speaker:then you show up better for work.
Speaker:So a big habit I've really been working on, um, this past year of dialing in
Speaker:is just disconnecting from everything electric, you know, electric and social
Speaker:media work and everything, and even eating at a totally different spot, you know?
Speaker:And oftentimes outside is best to eat for me.
Speaker:Cause if you're just outside.
Speaker:You be at the birds and sunshine and all that.
Speaker:Um, Yeah.
Speaker:And then.
Speaker:So pretty much, honestly, just kind of getting after it throughout the day.
Speaker:Um, breaking up my work schedule.
Speaker:So sitting a lot.
Speaker:Trying to get up every hour or so to just get in on mini workout or not even
Speaker:a workout, just walk or something like that, to make sure we're staying mobile,
Speaker:you know, and just continue moving.
Speaker:And then, yeah, I mean, at nighttime turning my phone off, I put my phone
Speaker:on airplane mode around eight, 8:00 PM.
Speaker:And, um, that's like a strict rule and honestly, maybe watch something
Speaker:or read or something like that.
Speaker:So, yeah, honestly simple and like, That's been my theme this whole year.
Speaker:Because I want to build something substantial with my business and I've
Speaker:wanted to build something impactful.
Speaker:You know, um, and I knew I had to simplify everything else.
Speaker:So like diet.
Speaker:Literally like.
Speaker:Meat vegetables, rice for the most part fruit.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:A little bit of oats, like very simple.
Speaker:I could count on 10 fingers, everything I've been eating
Speaker:this past year pretty much.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:So making that simple as possible.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Um, yeah, I mean, any, anything you want to dive into?
Speaker:So actually I do, I, I think.
Speaker:The simplicity of the, kind of a lot in my bed.
Speaker:No, you're good.
Speaker:No.
Speaker:No, no, don't worry about it.
Speaker:Um, I really, I resonate with that minimalism, that simplicity because.
Speaker:You know, when you live in a cluttered environment.
Speaker:It's kind of just like, yeah.
Speaker:You know, you feel more cluttered internally as well.
Speaker:And so when you can really, you know, I always think of, I think it was like
Speaker:Steve jobs, you know, he had like,
Speaker:I think he, yeah, he.
Speaker:More like the same.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah, exactly.
Speaker:And so he spent zero brain power.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Getting ready in the morning, you know, because he realized that his
Speaker:brain was put to better use in.
Speaker:Doing other things.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:And like, obviously if you're a fashion person, then it might be different,
Speaker:but like, you know, trying to really make the things that don't need to be
Speaker:so important, not important, you know, just like make it easy, make it quick.
Speaker:Yep.
Speaker:Um, and I think even with food, it's like, I don't want people to think, like we eat.
Speaker:Dole food in any way, because it really, if you just stick to a
Speaker:few simple things, like you can have variety, but like make it.
Speaker:Well, what I like to do is I like to sometimes do just a one pan meal.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:And so it's like a protein of your choice.
Speaker:You know, so you can switch that up and then a veggie of your choice.
Speaker:You know, and then maybe a salad.
Speaker:And so it's like you got a full, really well balanced meal to be
Speaker:really quick, to make an easy.
Speaker:You know, and honestly, like I use similar seasonings each time, so
Speaker:it's just very quick and um, that way it's still healthy, but you don't
Speaker:spend a ton of time and then yeah.
Speaker:That way then you do you look at the stuff that's so important.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Uh, you turned me on to the.
Speaker:Productivity journal.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:In that journal.
Speaker:I thought it was neat.
Speaker:There was, there's only like what, like five slots.
Speaker:Yep.
Speaker:Of things to do for the day.
Speaker:And to me, I remember when I would make my own list.
Speaker:Sometimes it would have like 10 or 15 items on it.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And I never really ever finished those lists.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:And then.
Speaker:Then kind of like highlight or whoever the author is really highlighting that look.
Speaker:You ha you can pick five things with the first thing, being the
Speaker:absolute most important thing.
Speaker:Second thing, you know, third thing, and then like in order,
Speaker:and then designating time slots.
Speaker:To doing it right.
Speaker:And then that way.
Speaker:Uh, what I really love from that was.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:I understand this is going to take me an hour and a half approximately.
Speaker:Crush it work at it and get it done and then take a break.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:And that helps you say much more effective with doing it.
Speaker:So I really liked that.
Speaker:And then, uh, um, I was, I'm curious though, so like, uh,
Speaker:I like what you said about the morning routine, because one sec.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Because on, um, the developing the routine and stuff like that.
Speaker:You what?
Speaker:What was really cool about hiring a coach for me was they made me do a time audit.
Speaker:And so they, wow.
Speaker:Made me map out every smart, pretty much every 15 minutes of
Speaker:the day, like every 20, 15 minutes.
Speaker:What were you doing?
Speaker:What exactly were you doing?
Speaker:And for me, a lot of times I was on social media way too long.
Speaker:And so it's like, obviously if you're spending time, there, there
Speaker:are some adverse effects and you're not spending time somewhere else.
Speaker:So that was huge.
Speaker:Eye-opening.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:Literally putting it on a spreadsheet.
Speaker:What do I do every single day?
Speaker:Um, even just for a week or three days is life-changing, that's like when you have
Speaker:your clients send in photos of their food.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Food.
Speaker:The first, so many months, you know, it makes them more.
Speaker:They, you know, they realize, oh wait, hold on.
Speaker:I'm actually going to send a picture of these nachos.
Speaker:To my coach.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:Like, yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:So that now I wanted to mention that too.
Speaker:It was like,
Speaker:If you're unsure where your time is going, if you're like,
Speaker:oh, I have so much time or.
Speaker:I don't have any time in the day.
Speaker:We all have the same 24 hours.
Speaker:MI you fricking Warren buffet, every successful person out there.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:Everyone has the same amount of time.
Speaker:It's just being present, doing things you need to get done and
Speaker:not focusing on other things, certain things that aren't serving.
Speaker:Your goals or your who you are to an extent, right?
Speaker:Like, I'm not someone that resonates with sitting there on social media.
Speaker:So I was like, that's I don't want to do that.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:So now I'm like strict.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:I get on social media.
Speaker:For one, I'm there for a reason.
Speaker:And then, um, as soon as I forget that reason and that I'm aware of it, I'm off.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:Just being hyper aware of that.
Speaker:Um, but yeah, took me hiring a coach to really do that time audit.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:Could you, could you imagine if someone actually like, if, if
Speaker:everyone did a time audit, sorry.
Speaker:You're good.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:If someone actually did a time audit of themselves and also did like.
Speaker:A massive, deep cleaning of their house.
Speaker:For example.
Speaker:Like not just cleaning, but like actually going through
Speaker:all this stuff in your house.
Speaker:And like, my uncle always says, if you haven't used it
Speaker:in the last year, then toss it.
Speaker:It's cool.
Speaker:Sometimes, maybe for some things it's not like necessarily by.
Speaker:It is.
Speaker:You haven't used it in a year.
Speaker:Do you really need it?
Speaker:Like you.
Speaker:Using the damn year.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:So, uh, I don't know.
Speaker:I feel like those are really strong practices cause they do, they help
Speaker:you focus on just what you need.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:And it's funny.
Speaker:Like even I, myself, I, uh, Before I left on my trip.
Speaker:I like packed up a bunch of stuff and put them in boxes.
Speaker:I'd like crack two of those boxes because there was like a couple
Speaker:of, and I'm like, oh my God.
Speaker:There's like all these stuff, all these things in here
Speaker:that I haven't even touched.
Speaker:And I've been back like a couple months already, you know, so right.
Speaker:It's eyeopening.
Speaker:Um, I got another question for you, Kayla.
Speaker:And do you have any other points?
Speaker:I could, we could continue that forever, but, um, mentality is a big one.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Uh, how old are you?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Literally though.
Speaker:Uh, it's funny.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So now let's, I want to move into a little bit of the health.
Speaker:And so I have a question I want to say, what in your time as being
Speaker:a coach, have you seen to be.
Speaker:A, the biggest issue people come across in terms of health.
Speaker:And then, um, maybe B being like.
Speaker:So the biggest, the biggest issue people have with health.
Speaker:And then what do you see them struggling with in terms of
Speaker:like, trying to then fix that?
Speaker:Hmm.
Speaker:Man, I think a lot of times.
Speaker:A lot of people.
Speaker:And myself included.
Speaker:And we've talked about a little bit too, is just like the overall confusion.
Speaker:About kind of like the, uh, analysis.
Speaker:Uh, perhaps now, what is it?
Speaker:Paralysis by analysis, right?
Speaker:Like.
Speaker:Social media Googling everything.
Speaker:Uh, YouTube, right.
Speaker:Everything.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:We are constantly shown.
Speaker:What is, and what's not what should be.
Speaker:What we need to do.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:It's really hard to sift through all that and figure out what works
Speaker:for you, because you're like,
Speaker:Uh, you just, you get paralyzed.
Speaker:You don't know where to start.
Speaker:And so that's probably one of the biggest things.
Speaker:Um, especially coming out of the pandemic, starting my business.
Speaker:Um, a lot of people are just, you know, they put on extra pounds over the,
Speaker:over the, they, they picked up some.
Speaker:Unhealthy habits over the pandemic.
Speaker:Um, whether it be watching too much TV, drinking too much, whatever it is.
Speaker:And then you just don't know where to start, right?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I just don't know how to kick it back in the year.
Speaker:Um, Yeah.
Speaker:So that's probably one of, I'd say one of the biggest things that I think
Speaker:people are finding really confusing with health and wellness overall.
Speaker:Um, and then the second part.
Speaker:Like in, in those issues, what do you like?
Speaker:For example, you, someone is I'll just make a simple, like
Speaker:someone has trouble losing weight.
Speaker:And then like in achieving that goal, what is usually the
Speaker:biggest issue that comes up?
Speaker:Like, what's one of the biggest difficulties for.
Speaker:People in accomplishing that goal.
Speaker:I think, I think with that confusion comes a lack of adherence.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:To a diet, right?
Speaker:It goes a lot with too with like crash diets, like paleo and keto and vegan.
Speaker:And Jenny Craig.
Speaker:You know, all kinds of different stuff is yes.
Speaker:Those work.
Speaker:But those set you up for failure, because what about after that?
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:And so, um, I think the biggest, biggest thing.
Speaker:Um, Well, not, not, not the biggest thing, but, uh, I think a great place to
Speaker:start is to start figuring out how foods make you feel and start figuring out
Speaker:how much food you need to eat as well.
Speaker:A lot of clients that I've been working with are under eating significantly
Speaker:and they have been for a long time.
Speaker:And then that goes into right.
Speaker:We hear OMAD one meal a day.
Speaker:Right, right.
Speaker:It's like, cool.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:That could work for some people.
Speaker:And if that works for you, that's awesome.
Speaker:Hell yeah.
Speaker:You know, but you actually need to build up the metabolic machinery to
Speaker:be able to do OMAD sustainably, right?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And that takes possible reverse dieting, right?
Speaker:Like that takes possible Phi.
Speaker:Counting calories to figure out how many calories you need and your body.
Speaker:Yeah, it takes consistency on a few months.
Speaker:You know, or more to be able to build the certain habits that you need and
Speaker:prioritize a certain nutrients and, and macronutrients that you need
Speaker:in order to sustain it for life.
Speaker:So all along my client's journey with them, coaching them, I'm
Speaker:always asking them, do you feel.
Speaker:Do you feel like this is something you could keep doing forever?
Speaker:And I'm always looking for any sign that they're just like, ah, I feel.
Speaker:Uh, I feel, um, I feel like I'm, um, what is it like muscle burnt out or either
Speaker:burnt out or like, uh, they're not.
Speaker:Are there.
Speaker:Or if, if I'm sensing anything like that, I'm like, let's dive into that
Speaker:because that's what I don't want.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:I want you to be able to feel like you can eat any foods that you want.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:But not without doing the groundwork.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:Like doing your kind of due diligence and meeting.
Speaker:Good foods most of the time.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:Not good foods.
Speaker:Quote unquote, good foods, real foods.
Speaker:We should say.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:You know, so I think along with that, like social media and like, um, You
Speaker:know, just the over consumption of.
Speaker:Of information.
Speaker:I think comes with a hard.
Speaker:Adherence.
Speaker:Like it's hard for people to adhere.
Speaker:To just living healthy, you know what I mean?
Speaker:Because they don't know what that looks like.
Speaker:So then that leads to them doing keto, sometimes them doing vegan,
Speaker:then doing, uh, intermittent fasting.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And.
Speaker:Leading them to just general confusion rather than, Hey, this is what
Speaker:you're doing for this amount of time.
Speaker:And that's how we're going to see what your body does when we do that
Speaker:and reacts to that, how you feel, how your energy is, how your digestion
Speaker:is, if your weight goes down.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:It's really funny.
Speaker:A lot, almost all my clients.
Speaker:I literally prescribed them to eat a lot of people.
Speaker:Three days, three meals, a day, two pieces of fruit.
Speaker:And I got this from Jordan Sighet, he's a fitness, health and fitness coach.
Speaker:He's got great content, kind of Gary Vaynerchuk style.
Speaker:Like.
Speaker:You know, cusses a lot and it's great.
Speaker:But he that's what he said is like, if someone comes to you and they're
Speaker:really, really overweight, really confused, anything like that, you just
Speaker:need to get them eating and eating whole foods and eating three meals a day.
Speaker:This is a fruit for awhile.
Speaker:Oh, wow.
Speaker:And get those wins going.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Um, and it's funny because when you make those three meals, nutrient dense foods.
Speaker:Healthy foods, right?
Speaker:Prioritize them.
Speaker:I like to say, you know, my, my holistic pillar number one is to eat close to
Speaker:the earth as possible in real foods.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:80% of the time, if we're focused on real foods and, and holistic,
Speaker:uh, whole nutrient dense foods.
Speaker:We're going to be good, right?
Speaker:So a lot of times it's getting people to eat more because.
Speaker:They'll send me photos of what they're eating and it's just like, you know,
Speaker:you're eating like a bird and expecting to build like a human, you know what I mean?
Speaker:But it's like, nah, we got to switch things up.
Speaker:So.
Speaker:A lot of people are under eating.
Speaker:I think.
Speaker:Truthfully, you.
Speaker:And that was a bit, that was a big shock to me when I wanted
Speaker:to start putting muscle on.
Speaker:I had to realize how I literally have figured out how much you need to eat.
Speaker:You know what I mean to actually become a new person.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And so it goes both ways.
Speaker:If you're trying to gain muscle, if you're trying to lose fat, that goes both ways.
Speaker:You know what I.
Speaker:And it's confusing because not everyone has an understanding of metabolism.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And, and, um, how to hack that and how to manipulate it that way.
Speaker:Cause it sounds backwards.
Speaker:I need more.
Speaker:You're gonna be like, well, I'm gonna gain weight.
Speaker:Well, you might not because your body needs some more fuel
Speaker:and it's holding on there.
Speaker:It's like trying to be in survival mode.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:So it's, uh, I think just a lack of adherence, which brings conf
Speaker:or a lack of understanding, which brings confer, confusion to people.
Speaker:And then I think that leads to like a lack of adherence
Speaker:because it's just so confusing.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I think even as a, it was a really long answer.
Speaker:I hope you got it.
Speaker:Yeah, no.
Speaker:I think the, at the core of that is it's true.
Speaker:It, you know, you can get really confused by all of the
Speaker:different health views out there.
Speaker:You can literally find.
Speaker:Studies for veganism for carnivore for any work.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And it's like, they're all going to have like stuff that
Speaker:shows a right or they're wrong.
Speaker:And I think once again, kind of like a theme of what we're talking
Speaker:about is simplicity, right?
Speaker:Like you just come back to, you know, whatever your diet is.
Speaker:If you live your omnivore, carnivore, vegan, whatever, it's like, just try
Speaker:to eat like as clean as possible.
Speaker:Like I said, Close to the earth foods and, uh, you know, the least
Speaker:amount of processing possible, you know, no sugar, hopefully.
Speaker:Well, no added sugar.
Speaker:I should say.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:No seed oils, like keeping it very simple and, and yeah, like he give
Speaker:yourself a window of eating at a window of not eating, you know?
Speaker:Cause obviously we don't want to like.
Speaker:Eat 16 hours of the day and then only sleep and then
Speaker:immediately wake up and eat.
Speaker:But like, I do also think that it is it's, it's very complicated because.
Speaker:Depending on what your goals are.
Speaker:That's going to really alter your diet.
Speaker:Oh, mad is not for someone trying to be a bodybuilder.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Maybe at a certain point in their bodybuilding phases.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Maybe trying to like really.
Speaker:Like define.
Speaker:Right, right.
Speaker:But yeah.
Speaker:For sure, because you know, OMAD is like maybe a person has really bad
Speaker:diabetes or cancer and they're trying to starve out the cancer itself.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Maybe you try old, man.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:And go that route or, um, And that's why I think finding a sustainable diet
Speaker:is so awesome that that's what you do.
Speaker:And, you know, I'm focused on that as well, but like, yeah, it is really,
Speaker:that's how you make the biggest changes in the future because.
Speaker:I know so many people, literally, I said, Jenny Craig, because that's something that
Speaker:like, I know people like, yeah, sorry.
Speaker:No, no, no shade on anyone, but like, you know, a few middle aged women.
Speaker:Like, you know, Oh, I guess I got to go.
Speaker:Go do Jenny Craig again.
Speaker:Cause I got summer coming up.
Speaker:It's like, dude, you could just have simple practices and you never have
Speaker:to set foot in that place again.
Speaker:And you'd probably be way happier because of what you're eating.
Speaker:But.
Speaker:Uh, yeah, it's just it.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Keep it simple.
Speaker:Like.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Just eat whole foods.
Speaker:And I do, I personally try to keep at least a 12 hour minimum window
Speaker:of no eating so that my body does have that time to reset and digest.
Speaker:But yeah.
Speaker:That's great.
Speaker:It's one of the first habits I nailed down with, with clients too is, and
Speaker:I tell them this, all everyone say, this is one of the things that you
Speaker:can take away from this program and, and live with the rest of your life.
Speaker:And that's to cut off your eating two to three hours before bed.
Speaker:It's just not for intermittent fasting purposes and all this
Speaker:cutoff for GI and shit like that.
Speaker:It's mainly just for good sleep.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Like, yeah, let's get your body stop eating.
Speaker:Get your body digesting that food.
Speaker:So that you can focus your breath, your body, and your brain can focus on
Speaker:doing what it needs to do during sleep.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Just that and walking.
Speaker:And eaten real foods.
Speaker:Most of the time.
Speaker:If we could just nail those three things down.
Speaker:I think it move your body low more, right?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Lift something heavy every once in awhile.
Speaker:Um, To get along way, I think.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And it just comes down to adherence.
Speaker:All of those sticking and being consistent.
Speaker:Yeah, I think I'm making it just more.
Speaker:More of a lifestyle practice.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:So I have a.
Speaker:Another question for you, but before we move on, I really did want to
Speaker:mention, uh, I think consistency is something you and I talk about a lot.
Speaker:And I, and I feel like I have to talk about it all the time
Speaker:to keep reminding myself.
Speaker:Yeah, but also everyone else that like.
Speaker:You know, With a healthy lifestyle.
Speaker:It's a consistent thing, right?
Speaker:Like,
Speaker:If I'm the, I think the difference between going to a doctor, for example, and
Speaker:getting a pharmaceutical drug or something is like, you expect that pharmaceutical
Speaker:to work within the week, right?
Speaker:Like, I mean you take, I don't know, some, some pill, like you're expecting
Speaker:a very fast reaction from that.
Speaker:But in changing your lifestyle through diet, or even like
Speaker:a supplement or something.
Speaker:Um, and I'm thinking of my meditation that I was doing where I did it for 30 days.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:That consistency.
Speaker:It's like if I were to only have meditated for a week and then just stopped, right.
Speaker:Or maybe I, and maybe I only did it once or, you know, three times
Speaker:in that week, the effect of that compared to doing it for a month,
Speaker:every single day is so different.
Speaker:Like you, yeah.
Speaker:And, and with.
Speaker:Um, I've even experienced it with, um, you know, supplements or holistic or,
Speaker:you know, food based supplements where, uh, you can't just take it for a week
Speaker:and then expect these massive changes.
Speaker:Like you got to go like a month or two.
Speaker:Uh, consistent every single day.
Speaker:And then you will, you will see the changes.
Speaker:It's pretty wild, but a hundred percent.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Um, did you have any thing on the consistency?
Speaker:I'm sorry.
Speaker:I did.
Speaker:But I forgot it.
Speaker:Got it.
Speaker:No worries.
Speaker:Maybe it'll come back to.
Speaker:Uh, no, that's all right.
Speaker:And, uh, that's okay.
Speaker:I have another topic, so.
Speaker:Well, if you, if you think about it, come back to it.
Speaker:But, uh, yeah.
Speaker:So I know one thing that is.
Speaker:I think most guys and some girls as well.
Speaker:Uh, are really interested in is like, What are your best tips for someone
Speaker:who wants to put on muscle as someone who went through this phase of.
Speaker:Non 20 pounds of muscle.
Speaker:Like what, what, like our, let's say.
Speaker:Three things.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah, man.
Speaker:I think, I think people.
Speaker:I don't think people realize how resilient the body is and how
Speaker:much you can actually push it.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:Safely, right.
Speaker:Like safely push it in and really, um, force it to adapt.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:And so, um, a couple of tips I'd say is.
Speaker:For me.
Speaker:And my experience was you got to learn how much you need to eat.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:In order, like I said earlier, in order to build a new body, we
Speaker:got to feed that new body, right?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:If I want to put on 20 pounds of muscle, we're going to need
Speaker:to up that protein intake.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:So a good rule of thumb is like, if you're tracking your, your protein, good rule of
Speaker:thumb is like 0.8 to 1.2 grams per pound.
Speaker:Of body weight, so desired body weight.
Speaker:So if I'm trying to get up to 200, I'm going to start eating 200 grams of
Speaker:protein from working my way up to that.
Speaker:Maybe even 2 20, 2 30.
Speaker:So, um, And then you have to of course working out and stuff like
Speaker:that, that all comes into play.
Speaker:But, um, Yeah, learning how much you need to eat.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Stay consistent with that.
Speaker:Because one day you might hit 180 grams of protein.
Speaker:Next day, it might be 150, but once you start tracking that and actually
Speaker:hitting that day after day after day,
Speaker:That's when you get the results.
Speaker:That's when you start to force your body force, your metabolism force your
Speaker:muscles to actually start to grow.
Speaker:Um, But you also have to drink the train, like for sure.
Speaker:If you want to put on muscle.
Speaker:Strength training.
Speaker:I'd say, is it resistance training?
Speaker:Is it?
Speaker:And it doesn't have to be, um, you know, like for weight loss, a lot of times,
Speaker:um, if I have a client who's, you know, hasn't worked out a long time, I'm not
Speaker:going to get them in the gym just yet.
Speaker:Like I'm going to get them doing some body weight stuff, squats, lunges,
Speaker:you know, um, fricking pushups, working them, working their way up.
Speaker:To be able to have some reserve, like that's, that's enough
Speaker:resistance for a lot of people.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:So, In order to force the body to adapt, we're going to need to
Speaker:manipulate it with some training, right?
Speaker:So you can do that by if you're having limited equipment.
Speaker:Like I had for a while.
Speaker:I'm like I put on about 15 pounds of muscle with the same set of, I think
Speaker:I had a 60 pound kettlebell, uh, 35.
Speaker:And a 20.
Speaker:And I had like 2 35 pound dumbbells and a weight vest.
Speaker:Yeah, that was pretty much my setup this whole past year.
Speaker:And then once I got a gym membership, I was like, oh, hell yeah, we're.
Speaker:After now I got.
Speaker:All the tools, you know what I mean?
Speaker:I ain't got no excuses.
Speaker:So I started going really heavy on squats, which I'll get into.
Speaker:So if you have the same similar us, you know, very minimal equipment and you
Speaker:can't really change your weights, right.
Speaker:It's not like you're sitting there with a barbell and you can add the weights.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:So you're going to want to add reps, right?
Speaker:So there's a few ways to build muscle and height hypertrophy.
Speaker:Yeah, we've talked about before, right?
Speaker:Getting the reps you want to increase the time under tension.
Speaker:So that means either slowing down right.
Speaker:And increasing that time that that muscle is under that load.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Or, um, increasing the rep range.
Speaker:Or both.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:So personally I do a mix of everything.
Speaker:Yeah, I think, I think it's important to be very well adapted
Speaker:to any type of movement almost.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:Um, So adding more.
Speaker:So if you have limited equipment with like only so much weight,
Speaker:you're gonna want to do more reps.
Speaker:So instead of, you know, if, if you realize that down the line
Speaker:three sets of 10 was pretty easy.
Speaker:Why not try four sets of 15 next week?
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:Or four sets of 20, right.
Speaker:And you need to be those last reps you need to be struggling.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:Like I always like to think of your lifting face.
Speaker:If you're lifting face is just kind of like.
Speaker:Chillin.
Speaker:You know, and you're just kinda like not really breaking a sweat.
Speaker:You ain't really lifting.
Speaker:You're not really forcing your muscles to adapt.
Speaker:But if you're like, ah, right.
Speaker:Face starts to grind.
Speaker:I start to get low grimacing.
Speaker:That's a good indication that you're forcing your body to adapt.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And that's, what's going to help.
Speaker:So there's that way.
Speaker:And then if you do have access to a gym, you're going to want to
Speaker:add the weight you want to add.
Speaker:You know, there's there's you can add the reps at the similar or same
Speaker:weight range, or you can start to progressively overload over time,
Speaker:like say a 12 week period or so.
Speaker:You're going to want to add rep uh, add weight to the bar.
Speaker:So you're gonna want to force your body, forcing it to make it stronger to.
Speaker:To read, to grip the muscles, to open up the new capillaries,
Speaker:to force the body, to adapt.
Speaker:And then that's a real place for all the protein to go.
Speaker:So I saw a significant jump in body, weight and body mass, specifically my legs
Speaker:and like my, my core shoulders and chest.
Speaker:Once I started, um, up in the weight a little more.
Speaker:So it makes sense, but also comes with a little bit of, you know,
Speaker:could there's a little bit more risk for injury as well, right.
Speaker:Especially if you're not doing the certain things, you know, warming
Speaker:up properly and stuff like that.
Speaker:And making sure you're working your joints through a full range
Speaker:of motion and stuff like that.
Speaker:So,
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:You know, either up your weights.
Speaker:Or up your reps start throwing a little more weight on the
Speaker:bar, you know, little by little.
Speaker:Maybe it's five pounds this week, maybe it's 10 pounds next week.
Speaker:Um, and he got to figure out how much you need to eat.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:That is important.
Speaker:So important.
Speaker:If you want to change your body, you need to eat to feed that new body.
Speaker:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker:So, yeah.
Speaker:I mean, those are honestly, probably.
Speaker:Two.
Speaker:The biggest tips.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:So break them down again for me.
Speaker:Yeah, just learning how much your body you need to eat.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So in order to force that right in order, yeah.
Speaker:Can't feed that new body feed that new body.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And then, um, either if, if you don't have access to like a full gym, right.
Speaker:Where you can throw on extra weights.
Speaker:You need to up your reps right up your time under tension.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And then if you do have access to.
Speaker:A, um, A gym.
Speaker:Or throwing on more weights or adding more weights or buying
Speaker:more weights or whatever.
Speaker:You need to start adding more weight, right?
Speaker:If you even with kettlebells, if you're doing.
Speaker:You know, squats with two kettlebells and you're only 20 pounds.
Speaker:See if you can work your way up to 2 35, see if you work your
Speaker:way up to one 60 pounds, right?
Speaker:You.
Speaker:You know, and so just add more weight.
Speaker:You have to force your body.
Speaker:And I would say also, if you want to build muscle.
Speaker:To sprint.
Speaker:Yeah, straight up.
Speaker:Yeah, sprinting is by far, one of the best things you can do.
Speaker:It is the most primal thing you can do.
Speaker:And to release human growth hormone in the body.
Speaker:Like there hit workouts are great.
Speaker:Yada, yada going all out sprint, like your N like you are a wild
Speaker:animal chasing for something after your, you know what I mean?
Speaker:Something's chasing you.
Speaker:Whatever you have to do to put yourself in a Ms.
Speaker:State of mind to get yourself to sprint at an all out level is going to hands
Speaker:down, increase muscle mass for sure.
Speaker:You said it also increases growth, hormone human.
Speaker:Growth hormone.
Speaker:Yeah, it's something like 300 to 700%.
Speaker:That's off of sprint.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Wow.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Every once in a while, forget that I was like, oh shit, I haven't done
Speaker:sprints in a while and I'll go do them.
Speaker:I'll do six, five or six next day.
Speaker:Almost every muscle in my body is sore.
Speaker:I'm just like, damn.
Speaker:That's why I like sprints.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:So it's super important.
Speaker:W now, for example, let's say let's let's, uh, and that could
Speaker:be sprinting on like a bicycle.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:That could be sprint.
Speaker:Exactly.
Speaker:Rowing machine.
Speaker:That's awesome.
Speaker:I've been working my parents up to that.
Speaker:We just started getting them on the rowing machine.
Speaker:Um, and just go.
Speaker:You know, intervals, right?
Speaker:Like, yeah.
Speaker:Go 20 seconds.
Speaker:Heart.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And then slow down just literally walking pace.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:For two minutes.
Speaker:A minute, two minutes to let yourself fully recover and then go hard again.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:You want to be able to give a hundred percent all out efforts.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Cause I was thinking, I know for a, you know, a lot of people in their
Speaker:50, 60 seventies, they start getting those knee problems and stuff.
Speaker:And running starts to become kind of what, you know, A lifer.
Speaker:Yes, it is truly life or death situation, then do it.
Speaker:But, uh, yeah, like, so cycling, rowing, something that softer
Speaker:on the joints is also great.
Speaker:I go all out.
Speaker:Cool.
Speaker:Cool.
Speaker:And a full body kind of movement to.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:So cycling, you could do a cycling sprinting, um, shoot.
Speaker:You could probably do it on elliptical.
Speaker:I had left to go.
Speaker:I've ever been on an elliptical.
Speaker:Yeah, I don't think I've ever used.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Um, but yeah, probably even just trying to go full out on an elliptical.
Speaker:It could work.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Cool.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:Cool.
Speaker:Just pushing past a little bit out of your comfort zone.
Speaker:So important.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:You know, for that forced adaptation, you're trying.
Speaker:Force your body.
Speaker:To become new.
Speaker:Yeah, you need to force it out of that comfort zone.
Speaker:Just a little bit.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Love it.
Speaker:All right, Caleb.
Speaker:And now eaten, man.
Speaker:Got it.
Speaker:It seems like a big theme.
Speaker:If you want to put on muscle, man, you got to eat cool.
Speaker:So.
Speaker:I also wanted to ask a guy, I got two more loaded in the barrel right now.
Speaker:The first one is.
Speaker:What now?
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:I always preface this.
Speaker:So we're going to get into supplements right now.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:But before I go into that, I always say this, like with anything before
Speaker:you worry about your supplements, get your, get your food, right.
Speaker:That diet locked in, eat real foods.
Speaker:Best supplement best supplement is a good diet.
Speaker:Like there's, there's nothing that's going to beat that.
Speaker:Like literally, you know, like there's nothing that's going to
Speaker:give you more of the vitamins and minerals and enzymes and everything.
Speaker:Then.
Speaker:Yup.
Speaker:Now, moving past that.
Speaker:What's now when you get into supplements, because there are
Speaker:certain supplements that I do think are pretty important, especially if
Speaker:you're low in those, you know, Yeah.
Speaker:Um, that's obviously important, but.
Speaker:Uh, I personally, I like to try to keep my supplements as
Speaker:whole food form as possible.
Speaker:It's hard to do that.
Speaker:Um, but I wanted to ask you what are some supplements?
Speaker:Just a couple, uh, and, uh, that you have really found to be beneficial from
Speaker:mental health to, uh, to building muscle.
Speaker:Just whatever.
Speaker:Cool.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Good question.
Speaker:So yeah, absolutely.
Speaker:Nail that new diet.
Speaker:Honestly, eat lots of protein.
Speaker:And if you're not vegan or eat, no matter what your diet is, I
Speaker:think protein is, is, is essential.
Speaker:Um, if it's an animal form you're getting in a lobby amino acids, and you're also
Speaker:getting in creating, which is on the, how many explain next is probably my top.
Speaker:Recommended supplements for sure.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Creatine.
Speaker:Not not, uh, not just for bodybuilders, not just for Olympic athletes, not just
Speaker:for athletes, literally for everybody.
Speaker:I have my parents on it.
Speaker:Like we.
Speaker:We're at a point in sight sports science and like nutrition science,
Speaker:where creatine is the most, um, Researched supplement on the market.
Speaker:Hands down.
Speaker:One of the safest things you could take.
Speaker:Um, creatine monohydrate.
Speaker:Just go get some on Amazon.
Speaker:It's amazing.
Speaker:So, So good for you.
Speaker:We'll help you store, um, your help yourselves at cellular level generate
Speaker:more energy, um, specifically during strength training and stuff like that,
Speaker:but also in the general lifestyle, right.
Speaker:You're going to you're, you're going to be more of an efficient machine
Speaker:if you have creatine in your body.
Speaker:Um, and it's something that our creatine.
Speaker:Uh, mechanisms that in our body, they, we, uh, produce less of it as we get older.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Now it's really interesting.
Speaker:It's not just for building muscle.
Speaker:It helps you stay hydrated more.
Speaker:Um, it helps yourselves actually hold water.
Speaker:Better.
Speaker:It's really cool.
Speaker:It's awesome.
Speaker:Great.
Speaker:Um, yeah.
Speaker:Uh, it also helps with the energy output.
Speaker:So if your resistance training helps you get the most out of
Speaker:your resistance training, you feel like, um, you have another gear.
Speaker:I like to kind of say.
Speaker:It's like, it's not like pre-workout E it's just.
Speaker:Randomly we'll hit you.
Speaker:You'd be like, damn.
Speaker:I feel like that set was pretty easy.
Speaker:Yeah, I got another gear.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:You're like, that's that create that creatine possibly.
Speaker:Um, But it's also really good for the gut lining.
Speaker:It is an amino acid it's amino acid.
Speaker:So it's really good for the gut linings.
Speaker:Really good for the brain.
Speaker:They're using it in clinical studies to treat Alzheimer's and, um,
Speaker:cognitive function in the brain.
Speaker:Wow.
Speaker:Stuff like that.
Speaker:So across the board, especially if you've been following a plant-based diet,
Speaker:Um, like I was for years.
Speaker:Getting creatine.
Speaker:And my diet was life-changing.
Speaker:Hands-down helped me put on muscle.
Speaker:Hayden helped me maintain muscle, help, my brain fog, fatigue, everything.
Speaker:So.
Speaker:Hands down.
Speaker:I think creatine is probably one of the best supplements, like synthetic form.
Speaker:What I'm saying?
Speaker:Um,
Speaker:What's even, it's an, it's an amino acid.
Speaker:So I don't, I'm not exactly sure what it's made out of, but yeah.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Like.
Speaker:W where it's derived from or whatever.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Other than that, man, I think.
Speaker:Along with the theme of my life lately has been simp simplicity.
Speaker:I've also done away with a lot of supplements.
Speaker:That's just kind of like, no.
Speaker:Let me simplify right.
Speaker:So, um, I think for me, I've really dialed in, I think magnesium is really smart for.
Speaker:Not everybody.
Speaker:Yeah, because a lot of people are deficient in it and they don't
Speaker:even know it like one of the most efficient minerals, I It could be
Speaker:something as subtle as an eye Twitch.
Speaker:It could be something as subtle as a little bit of brain fog in the day, or
Speaker:sleep disruption or problems digesting.
Speaker:Food right.
Speaker:So including.
Speaker:Uh, comprehensive, um, magnesium someplace supplement like a complex
Speaker:with multiple different types of magnesium in it, I think is really good.
Speaker:Um, so that was the one I recommend and then official oil, I think fish
Speaker:oil or some type of omega omega-3 yeah, it's going to be critical because, um,
Speaker:That's like, that's like brain food.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:It's good for the brain.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:It's good.
Speaker:For every cell in the body, every single cell in our body is wrapped
Speaker:in the fat that we consume.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And I think it was a Dr.
Speaker:Hyman who Dr.
Speaker:Mark Hyman, who I've originally heard, say that.
Speaker:And, um, It's awesome.
Speaker:When I train harder, I take like two to three times the amount of
Speaker:supplements or of fish oil that I take, just because I know my body is
Speaker:demanding more and the recommended dose on there is just a recommendation.
Speaker:And so I always like to play with, with why not double it or quadruple it.
Speaker:You know, we were kind of talking about that earlier.
Speaker:Um, and the thing with a creatine and supplements in general is
Speaker:again, consistency and inherency.
Speaker:So making it as simple as possible, you're not going to see the best results if
Speaker:you just take it every other day, every few days, when you remember things like
Speaker:that, creatine, especially you need to actually saturate the muscles for like
Speaker:three weeks or something like that.
Speaker:Some people say there's a loading phase, but you don't really need to do that.
Speaker:You just need to take your consistently day after day, even on your rest days.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:To saturate the muscles.
Speaker:That way your muscles are able to get it in and absorb it.
Speaker:So, um, same thing with all supplements.
Speaker:Got to stay consistent with them.
Speaker:So that's like,
Speaker:You know, a lot of, uh, some of my clients it'll be like a.
Speaker:Hey, you taking, taking environments, taking your supplements, you know?
Speaker:And they're like, nah, I've been forgetting, you know, it's like,
Speaker:okay, well, Let's get them every day.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And so it's a habit that we need to build.
Speaker:Um, other than that, I think.
Speaker:For, um, immune health cellular function of vitamin D has been critical.
Speaker:I think that's really important to include.
Speaker:And also, um, and you turned me on to this, a zinc and copper.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And since then haven't gotten any flu, any colds or anything like that?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Um, I actually feel myself every once in a while.
Speaker:We'll start to get something, but my immune system is really strong.
Speaker:It'll kick it out pretty quick.
Speaker:It's pretty cool.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And I think that's really due to the copper zinc.
Speaker:And then obviously vitamin D is like, it's like a hormone.
Speaker:So it's super critical.
Speaker:Um, so that's probably honestly, that's my supplements right now.
Speaker:And I do take like, uh, an amino acid supplement just for more, um,
Speaker:I talked to repair.
Speaker:Essential amino acids, right?
Speaker:Just for more muscle repair and everything.
Speaker:But.
Speaker:Eating your protein.
Speaker:You get a lots of, a lot of amino acids.
Speaker:You're rebuilding muscles protein.
Speaker:Isn't like a fuel source.
Speaker:It's a rebuilding source for your protein synthesis in your body.
Speaker:So, um, carbs is more of like a fuel source, you know?
Speaker:Um, so yeah, creatine, a fish oil, magnesium vitamin
Speaker:D, and then seeking copper.
Speaker:And I do love like medicinal mushroom mushrooms as well.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Lion's mane, Turkey, Turkey, tail, Rishi.
Speaker:They're not necessarily part of like my every day thing,
Speaker:but, um, I like, they're great.
Speaker:They have a really good place.
Speaker:Just like we had some today, you know, it's like, yeah, good energize.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:So, yeah.
Speaker:I think that's, uh, probably the quick.
Speaker:Rundown, um, of major supplements.
Speaker:I, I, yeah, because I'm thinking of other supplements, like spirulina and chlorella.
Speaker:Even the mushrooms.
Speaker:I don't consider themselves moments.
Speaker:Those are foods.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:So it's kind of like supplements.
Speaker:Even like whey protein, right?
Speaker:It's not, I don't really think it's a supplement.
Speaker:It's.
Speaker:Sure.
Speaker:It's a protein supplement to supplement additional protein into your diet.
Speaker:But, um, for the most part, I don't think it's like.
Speaker:Uh, supplements food.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah, it is.
Speaker:Uh, I think, for example, uh, also, uh, just to say, uh, for those of
Speaker:you who don't know, take vitamin D three with K2, there you go.
Speaker:Oh, he's got to pray those two, but aside from that, a hundred percent
Speaker:agree on every single one of those.
Speaker:Um, yeah, like, and I agree.
Speaker:I like most of my supplements are like a food.
Speaker:Literally, right.
Speaker:So, yeah.
Speaker:Spirulina and chlorella, like you mentioned is yeah.
Speaker:Stupid incredible does a lot of great things.
Speaker:Um,
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Katherine orange nude was on and spoke about.
Speaker:An hour's worth, how long have all the benefits?
Speaker:Like it's incredible.
Speaker:Um, and then yeah, the mushrooms are, yeah, they're, they're our food as well.
Speaker:And uh, to me, Uh, with the mushrooms, they're super powerful and it,
Speaker:but once again, it's one of those things like you really have to be
Speaker:so consistent with it to notice it.
Speaker:And I remember when I noticed the ma the biggest difference.
Speaker:Um, was with lion's mane and I took it for about a, like a month straight,
Speaker:every single day would take it.
Speaker:And, uh, man, your mental clarity, it's super weird.
Speaker:It's like it happens so subtly that you don't realize it, but
Speaker:I was really keeping tabs on it.
Speaker:And I remember by like day 30, I was like, dude, my mental
Speaker:clarity like is on every day.
Speaker:It's not, there's like not a day of brain fog and like recalling.
Speaker:Facts or someone's name or whatever.
Speaker:It's just like right there.
Speaker:And you never had to like, uh, give me a second, like come
Speaker:to me, you know what I mean?
Speaker:Like, it was always there.
Speaker:Uh, we're more drinking or what is it?
Speaker:Uh, word recall, right?
Speaker:Yeah, no.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:For real.
Speaker:Um, but I, I love the mushrooms, like hands down, probably some of my
Speaker:favorite food supplements, but yeah.
Speaker:Uh, yeah.
Speaker:And yeah.
Speaker:Um, yeah.
Speaker:And then, uh, the last question I had for you, Kayla was, uh, On that fire enough.
Speaker:Dang dude.
Speaker:You and I, we talk a lot about, especially you, you talk a lot
Speaker:about primal and ancestors.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Everything, but, uh, I, I think there's a really good.
Speaker:Reason for that.
Speaker:And I mean, I have my ideas and I want to hear yours.
Speaker:And so for, for all the listeners, Why is it a good idea to.
Speaker:Like if, when UBS, when thinking about a health trend, maybe like a diet or
Speaker:any kind of those practices, like.
Speaker:I personally, and I know you do as well.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Think of it in terms of like, okay, so this is what people are doing now.
Speaker:How like did we do that?
Speaker:10,000 years ago?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Or 5,000, however far we can go back.
Speaker:Like, did we do that then?
Speaker:And then, you know, kind of trying to compare the two and like see how they
Speaker:fit and why is that a good idea, man?
Speaker:I think that's a really.
Speaker:I could give a really long answer and we could like really
Speaker:go down some rabbit holes.
Speaker:But, um, Joe Rogan long.
Speaker:Type episode.
Speaker:And I think, I think you got a.
Speaker:We have to like, keep in mind that why we have a bunch of things.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And so this is kind of like, why do we have so many processed foods?
Speaker:Why do we have.
Speaker:So many supplements.
Speaker:Why do we have so many things to consume so many restaurants,
Speaker:all these things, right.
Speaker:A lot of it is for fun and pleasure and stuff like that.
Speaker:And that's cool.
Speaker:Um, but also a lot of is for over consumption.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:That's.
Speaker:I love that podcast you put out there was over-consumed and undernourished.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And that's exactly what's happened, right?
Speaker:The only way we gain weight and get unhealthy is we eat
Speaker:too much of the wrong foods.
Speaker:We eat too many calories.
Speaker:We don't move enough.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:We are.
Speaker:It's simply down to science of not putting enough output and too
Speaker:much input of, you know, foods.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:You truthfully could be relatively healthy and eat at a calorie deficit
Speaker:and truthfully eat whatever you want.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Because calories in calories, out type of thing.
Speaker:But.
Speaker:Then I like to think, well,
Speaker:I always thought we've ran animals.
Speaker:You know, as a kid, as a kid, Um, I was always like, we are animals and
Speaker:like we're no different than like, yes, we are the most dominant species.
Speaker:We're not fucking monkeys.
Speaker:We're not birds.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:We're not.
Speaker:An animal or human.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:But, um, What was it like for ancestors?
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:And, um,
Speaker:Definitely they had less disease, obviously they
Speaker:didn't have the more advanced.
Speaker:Um, medicine practices and stuff like that to knock out diseases and stuff.
Speaker:So they died.
Speaker:Relatively younger, but they did a lot of, a lot of ancestors that
Speaker:lived to eighties and nineties.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:It's just to add different life factors in.
Speaker:Real more realistic Def.
Speaker:Uh, to face right.
Speaker:Um, So going back to that over consumption is like, well, these things are, we have
Speaker:designed them to be over eaten, right?
Speaker:With design chips, everything about a chip is designed for over consumption.
Speaker:From the price of it to the way the bag looks to the taste, to the smell, to
Speaker:the crunch, to the molecules that it's made of to affect your gut, to affect
Speaker:your brain, to make you crave it more.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Everything.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:So what's in that is a lot of, you know, sure.
Speaker:We can call it like capitalistic.
Speaker:You know, ideals or whatever to buy more because it's cheap.
Speaker:To eat more because it's cheap, things like that.
Speaker:But to what detriment, right?
Speaker:Um, so it just always to come back to real foods, that's what ancestors did.
Speaker:They ate vegetables.
Speaker:They ate fruits, they ate seeds, state ate, fricking meat.
Speaker:They ate, you know what I mean?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And so, um, I think the more.
Speaker:And I am truthfully, I'm like a living product of it.
Speaker:And I like, my clients love following this lifestyle.
Speaker:It's like, can't we just adhere to eating real food most of the time, right?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:You know, Can we even do that without having to worry about calories?
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:Can we do that by developing healthy eating habits so that we're satiated and
Speaker:not over full, because that's kind of something that our ancestors probably did.
Speaker:They probably didn't overeat like crazy for one, they had
Speaker:to ration a little bit maybe.
Speaker:And if you overeat.
Speaker:You're a little far JAIC you're you're drained of energy.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:You're not going to be able to run away from a prey or something really fast.
Speaker:So.
Speaker:To me on a holistic, just kind of like a lethargic sitting there all, let
Speaker:me just get attacked by something.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Um, so it's kind of fun.
Speaker:I really think we're at.
Speaker:We're at an interesting time in history where we can combine
Speaker:the two, you know what I mean?
Speaker:The kind of modern.
Speaker:Science of dieting and health and nutrition and stuff with these
Speaker:ancestral kind of ideals that we have.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:And it's just interesting to me to look back into it.
Speaker:I think it's cool.
Speaker:The whole ancestral kind of knowledge, there were a lot more
Speaker:connected spiritually to the earth.
Speaker:They were connected more to their food.
Speaker:Obviously they were hunting it and forging it and stuff like that.
Speaker:Growing it.
Speaker:Um, So I just think if I find a fascinating dude, And like the
Speaker:more we can just simplify it.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And like get away from the complexities, get away from over-consuming.
Speaker:I think it just frees up a lot of freedom in our choice and, um,
Speaker:Ultimately in our economy, right?
Speaker:It's like, what kind of economy do we want to have?
Speaker:Your dollar is a vote to every single thing you put in your mouth.
Speaker:Everything you go and buy.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:It's fun to go out, have drinks.
Speaker:It's cool.
Speaker:Absolutely right.
Speaker:We just went out for St.
Speaker:Patty's day.
Speaker:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker:It's like, yeah, go out and to have some junk food, let's go do that.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:But then the next day, what did we do?
Speaker:We cooked breakfast.
Speaker:We made our own coffee.
Speaker:We got.
Speaker:I'm saying.
Speaker:Yeah, exactly.
Speaker:So.
Speaker:Not saying you have to be ultra religious about it.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:You can go out, you can have McDonald's and still prioritize the right foods.
Speaker:If you have to go to McDonald's and order some chicken breasts.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:So.
Speaker:Um, Again, you could follow like an ancestral lifestyle
Speaker:eating in a modern world.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:So I think it's just fun.
Speaker:Honestly.
Speaker:I think it's fun.
Speaker:I think it's a different approach to health and like, I think it's
Speaker:just a lot more connected to nature.
Speaker:And I think the closer that we live to that is.
Speaker:The more in harmony, we could be with the not only ourselves, our spirits.
Speaker:But also the collective, you know, and the human race, you know, it sounds
Speaker:kind of woo-hoo, but, um, it's real.
Speaker:It is.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:You know, Yeah, I also, uh, I a hundred percent agree.
Speaker:And I think the only thing I would add to that is.
Speaker:I know that.
Speaker:Biology.
Speaker:Takes time to evolve.
Speaker:You know, like literally if you've been living your life in a way
Speaker:for, you know, 5,000 years, and then you change it like drastically
Speaker:in a hundred years in a decade.
Speaker:Like that's a very short amount of time for your biology to adapt to a new diet.
Speaker:The new lifestyle, you know, so that's why I always like, all think.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And we don't have to go back so far.
Speaker:No, no.
Speaker:Really our grandparents, dude.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I mean, go back a generation or two where there was less refrigeration.
Speaker:There's less transportation.
Speaker:There's a lot less.
Speaker:Obese people for sure.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Health concerns, cardiovascular diseases.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:So it's like, they were just eating.
Speaker:More real food.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And less processing more go lock down the chip aisle.
Speaker:Now how many different types of chips are there a whole IOT?
Speaker:Like literally Frank chip companies.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:They make you think there's a lie that probably all.
Speaker:All owned by just like wandering.
Speaker:Yeah, no, I'll back then.
Speaker:It was like three, four.
Speaker:You.
Speaker:You know?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I mean even, and those were a treat for sure.
Speaker:That's the other, other aspect of it is, is.
Speaker:Uh, the amount of like, yeah, of course there was bad stuff.
Speaker:A hundred years ago.
Speaker:How often did people have it?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And a bad stuff was probably less processed.
Speaker:Because less.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:You know, Just so much.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:So much goes into it and.
Speaker:I think that's why I really like going and con comparing.
Speaker:We're like modern life and how I, how we live it today
Speaker:compared to the back of the day.
Speaker:And I think you can really find so much value in it from literally, you
Speaker:know, like thinking of technology, because that's really easy one to use.
Speaker:It's like,
Speaker:We didn't have cell phones like.
Speaker:You know, we didn't have the screens in front of our faces all the time.
Speaker:I mean 40 years ago.
Speaker:Like not even long, but.
Speaker:Uh, so when we, when we look at that and we see like, okay,
Speaker:what are all these implications?
Speaker:Well, sleep is screwed.
Speaker:We can see that, like you.
Speaker:You know, many people will have issues getting into bed.
Speaker:You know, how many people have sleep apnea?
Speaker:Hi, like just so much.
Speaker:And it's like, If you took that phone.
Speaker:Never use it.
Speaker:It would probably fix so much of it or, or even just, you know, the light, but yeah.
Speaker:So I, I love being able to just look at it in that frame and think like, okay, Was
Speaker:was this around back then, if it was like, how would it have been used and right.
Speaker:And all that.
Speaker:So, yeah.
Speaker:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker:It's cool.
Speaker:And, and, you know, through my health coaching practice, my
Speaker:certification and stuff, and.
Speaker:I'm I'm biased, right?
Speaker:I'm biased to the ancestral way.
Speaker:Like I have my holistic pillars of health.
Speaker:Coach my clients through and interweave into their lives and stuff like that.
Speaker:And it just gets to a point where it's fun.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:It's not like dogmatic.
Speaker:It's like, no, you can be on your phone, but let's just be conscious.
Speaker:Of how it affects us both negatively and positively.
Speaker:Yeah, right?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Social media is awesome.
Speaker:Oh yeah.
Speaker:Serious stuff with.
Speaker:Able to reach thousands of people.
Speaker:Yeah, this conversation that we're having.
Speaker:Just two people in a room.
Speaker:And that'd be, but we can put it on the interweb and it goes off to the people.
Speaker:That's awesome.
Speaker:So being aware, right.
Speaker:And like conscious of the negative and positive.
Speaker:Yeah, certain things, you know, Um, yeah, I don't know where I was going
Speaker:with that, but yeah, no, no, no.
Speaker:I think just like you said, like knowing that like, even with the
Speaker:modern stuff, it's like, you don't have to go completely primal on it.
Speaker:You can have, um, a medium point.
Speaker:To go live her kingdom.
Speaker:No, no, there's a, there's a balance.
Speaker:Everything.
Speaker:Please don't go.
Speaker:Please don't do that.
Speaker:Um, but yeah, man, I think.
Speaker:I don't know.
Speaker:I think that's pretty much, uh, yeah, all the questions I had.
Speaker:I do want to, I just had a thought to like back on to, um, Well, you said,
Speaker:well, you asked earlier, like just, just a couple of tips or whatever.
Speaker:Is fine.
Speaker:Just gaining control.
Speaker:In the kitchen, you know what I mean?
Speaker:Controlling what goes on in plate is huge.
Speaker:And I think that's just a fun thing too, that we need to.
Speaker:Try and work on bringing more peace and more connection and more
Speaker:excitement to rather than stress.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:A lot of times it's like, oh, I got.
Speaker:I got a meal prep, Sundays, I got a meal prep.
Speaker:This, it doesn't have to be that hard.
Speaker:It could be just making twice as much as you make.
Speaker:Yeah for the next day or something like that, but overall
Speaker:controlling what ingredients go on your plate is really cool.
Speaker:It's really fun.
Speaker:It's really controlling.
Speaker:It's really, you feel satisfied.
Speaker:You feel.
Speaker:Uh, in control of that habit and that ritual, and it's also a new connection
Speaker:to your food, which I think is really important because now we think of.
Speaker:You know, kids are growing up thinking that food is a bags and the chip is jolly.
Speaker:Ranchers is just a state that shows up on the plate or whatever.
Speaker:But, uh, when you go to the butcher shop and you have to
Speaker:go through the certain things.
Speaker:You know what I mean when you go and if you can grow some of your own food.
Speaker:You know, be just getting more connected to the food that goes on your plate.
Speaker:Yeah, it's pretty fun.
Speaker:And it's just a more exciting way to go about dieting and nutrition and
Speaker:you can make your own meals forever.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:You know, that's a sustainable thing.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:You know what I mean?
Speaker:You don't have to make every single meal, but maybe you can make.
Speaker:Lunch starting out, you know what I mean?
Speaker:Or breakfast every day, starting out, you know what I mean?
Speaker:Um, so yeah.
Speaker:I wanted to mention that.
Speaker:Cook at home, dude.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Cook.
Speaker:The home control the ingredients that go on your plates.
Speaker:It's the best way to know that you're eating healthy.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I think yourself, Marcus, Marcus filly from functional bodybuilding,
Speaker:really good content that he puts out.
Speaker:Um, we're not brothers.
Speaker:I swear.
Speaker:Let's put both kind of look Neanderthal ish.
Speaker:Um, but, uh, he says to cook with elite, try and try to
Speaker:keep it under five ingredients.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:For gut health.
Speaker:I was like, that's a cool rule.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:So.
Speaker:Including, you could include that spice is included in that too.
Speaker:Just simple.
Speaker:It doesn't have to be tastes like shit.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:Doesn't my meals tastes amazing.
Speaker:And I make them super simple.
Speaker:You.
Speaker:I know that I'm like the poster child of cooking or anything.
Speaker:Right, right.
