Latest / The You Project / #2054 Real Food vs. Supplements - Kate Save
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I get a team, so you project it's Tiffany and Cook,
- 0:03Speaker 1: It's Kate, Mary, Veronica Loois Save. It's the project that's you.
- 0:08Speaker 1: Will start with the pugilist, the box of the thug,
- 0:11Speaker 1: the woman about town, Tiffany and Cook, the consumer of cookies,
- 0:17Speaker 1: Kate Save, the dietitian and excise physiologist. I think also
- 0:21Speaker 1: I might have something to say about that. Tiff Tell
- 0:25Speaker 1: Kate about the cookies that you are not only addicted to,
- 0:28Speaker 1: but try to get everyone else addicted to.
- 0:30Speaker 2: Incidentally, I just took someone to the cookie shop today,
- 0:33Speaker 2: so I can still taste the cookie that Kate. They
- 0:37Speaker 2: may not be nutritionally sound, but they are so nutritious
- 0:42Speaker 2: for my soul. They are life changing cookies.
- 0:46Speaker 3: I'm wondering the other box, the other bucket. You know
- 0:50Speaker 3: what is that? The fulfilling heart buckets?
- 0:52Speaker 2: Yes, yes, the important one.
- 0:57Speaker 1: I wonder if the joy and dough for me, and
- 1:00Speaker 1: the euphoria that comes with those cookies offsets the calories
- 1:05Speaker 1: and the sugar and the cellular damage. I wonder if
- 1:10Speaker 1: it's in its own way despite being unhealthy. Maybe maybe
- 1:16Speaker 1: it kind of comes out like equal.
- 1:19Speaker 2: Because cortisol is not healthy and I feel that just
- 1:23Speaker 2: drop when I get one of those bad boys in
- 1:25Speaker 2: my hand.
- 1:27Speaker 1: Well, it's pretty much the antidote to everything. Look at
- 1:29Speaker 1: us trying to make science up as we go. That's
- 1:31Speaker 1: that's how science works. Fingering her finger.
- 1:37Speaker 3: Yes, it's so great. I think there's something in that.
- 1:42Speaker 3: Do either of you wear an or a ring?
- 1:44Speaker 4: No?
- 1:45Speaker 3: But I wear a garment, okay.
- 1:47Speaker 4: And so it looks at your different states, and it
- 1:49Speaker 4: looks at your stress and your restorative time. Yesterday I
- 1:54Speaker 4: eat said, oh, you've had more restorative time than usual.
- 1:58Speaker 3: I never watch TV.
- 1:59Speaker 4: And I sat down with my daughter and husband in
- 2:02Speaker 4: bed and we watched All A Time to Kill and
- 2:05Speaker 4: I just felt so lucky at the end that you know,
- 2:08Speaker 4: it's a beautiful movie, it's a horrible movie, all those things.
- 2:11Speaker 4: And yeah, so my restorative time went through the roof.
- 2:16Speaker 4: So I think you're onto something, Greg. I feel like
- 2:19Speaker 4: it could be maybe slightly offset if it can put
- 2:23Speaker 4: you into that restorative phase, because that's healing for your body.
- 2:27Speaker 4: So you'll have to check your checking amen.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Before Tiff jumps in, she's going to I think it's
- 2:32Speaker 1: dose dependent, your honor, I think it. I think it
- 2:36Speaker 1: depends on how many cookies gone Tiff.
- 2:39Speaker 2: Well on that. People used to say to me that
- 2:42Speaker 2: my motto was if a little bit's good, a lot
- 2:44Speaker 2: must be better, because anything I liked, I would have
- 2:47Speaker 2: tenfold of it.
- 2:51Speaker 4: Well, this has not started on the nutritious thoughts, has it?
- 2:56Speaker 1: It has? Do you know what this has started on?
- 2:58Speaker 4: That?
- 2:58Speaker 1: This has started on the real world foot because this
- 3:01Speaker 1: is normal humans deal with how much shit can I eat?
- 3:06Speaker 1: Or how much how many cordatas can I have? Or
- 3:09Speaker 1: how often can I have one of those cookies? Or
- 3:12Speaker 1: I mean, to me, this is actually a good conversation because,
- 3:16Speaker 1: like I say to people all the time, don't do
- 3:19Speaker 1: what I do because I'm compared to the average, I'm extreme.
- 3:25Speaker 1: Like for me, I'm not extreme. For me, I'm totally normal.
- 3:28Speaker 1: But don't use me as a barometer because I'm a
- 3:30Speaker 1: fucking weirdo. So if you have a pizza a week,
- 3:33Speaker 1: or three beers a week, or a wine every night,
- 3:35Speaker 1: or a cookie once or twice a week that Tiff
- 3:39Speaker 1: uses and recommends, or you know, or you have bee
- 3:42Speaker 1: fit foods every second day not every day, or whatever
- 3:46Speaker 1: it is, Like, I think it's trying to find something
- 3:49Speaker 1: that works, not only physiologically and nutritionally, but also emotionally,
- 3:54Speaker 1: psychologically and sociologically, because once it or not, food is
- 3:59Speaker 1: way more more than just food, Like especially in Australia,
- 4:03Speaker 1: it's way more than and you know, we can all
- 4:05Speaker 1: go well, if I put you on it And I
- 4:07Speaker 1: used to say this to people, if I put you
- 4:09Speaker 1: on an island and I only fed you this and that,
- 4:12Speaker 1: and that's true, their body would change a certain way
- 4:16Speaker 1: if they only had access to certain food. But yeah,
- 4:19Speaker 1: I guess it's always a bit of a trade off Kpe.
- 4:22Speaker 4: Absolutely, And at the end of the day, if you
- 4:25Speaker 4: feel miserable, that's not good for your health. If you
- 4:28Speaker 4: feel in a stress state, that's not good for your health.
- 4:30Speaker 4: So there's got to be some sort of balance there.
- 4:32Speaker 4: But on the flip side of that, you've got to
- 4:35Speaker 4: be conscious of your eating and you need to compensate
- 4:39Speaker 4: unless you want to change. So if you don't compensate,
- 4:43Speaker 4: it doesn't evaporate. And I think you're both the most
- 4:47Speaker 4: consistent people that I know with your training and whatever
- 4:53Speaker 4: you do is consistent, not just your training but your podcast.
- 4:57Speaker 4: Everything you do is consistent. And if people are consistently healthy,
- 5:03Speaker 4: then whenever they have the other stuff, they compensate for it.
- 5:07Speaker 3: It's fine.
- 5:08Speaker 4: But if you don't compensate and you're not consistent the
- 5:10Speaker 4: rest of the time, then you're in a world of trouble.
- 5:13Speaker 1: Hmmm. I think that's I think for the average person,
- 5:17Speaker 1: trying to figure out what that balance is a really
- 5:20Speaker 1: good question to ask and a really good kind of
- 5:22Speaker 1: a little bit of you know, and equals one self
- 5:26Speaker 1: research to go, oh, how do I Like I've told
- 5:30Speaker 1: I've said this before, but like for about ten years
- 5:35Speaker 1: maybe more, I would not have a fucking if somebody
- 5:39Speaker 1: said I'll give you a hundred bucks to eat this
- 5:40Speaker 1: crumb of cake, I would say no, right, I was
- 5:44Speaker 1: just and it wasn't about the crumb of cake. It
- 5:46Speaker 1: was about my mind and my emotions and my reactions
- 5:49Speaker 1: and my responses. Just like you would not say to
- 5:52Speaker 1: an addict, just have a tiny bit of coke, or now,
- 5:57Speaker 1: do you know what I mean, just have a tiny
- 5:58Speaker 1: bit of coke, you know, or an alcoholic, look, just
- 6:02Speaker 1: have a core of a glass of beer. Like, no
- 6:04Speaker 1: one would do that. But and like here's the thing.
- 6:08Speaker 1: If people who don't have food issues hear this, they'd go, well,
- 6:12Speaker 1: you're just a fucking idiot. You got no self control.
- 6:14Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, that's spoken by a person who doesn't
- 6:17Speaker 1: have food issues. Like for me, food was as close
- 6:22Speaker 1: to being a drug addiction as I would ever have,
- 6:25Speaker 1: because I would eat food I didn't need. I would
- 6:28Speaker 1: do things that I knew were self destructive. This is
- 6:31Speaker 1: the same as addiction. I would lie about my eating,
- 6:35Speaker 1: I would eat in secret. I would tell people to
- 6:38Speaker 1: do things that I wasn't doing. I didn't follow my
- 6:41Speaker 1: own advice. I wasted my own knowledge. I mean, that's
- 6:45Speaker 1: just all the behaviors of an addict, you know. But
- 6:48Speaker 1: and you've got to get to the point where you go, well,
- 6:50Speaker 1: I'm a bit full of shit. And so I think
- 6:54Speaker 1: that you know, people trying to understand what is an
- 6:58Speaker 1: operating system. I mean, obviously purely from a nutritional and
- 7:02Speaker 1: a scientific point of view, then let's just look at
- 7:05Speaker 1: micros and macros and energy and quality of food. Yes,
- 7:08Speaker 1: but then beyond that, also you know what's going to
- 7:11Speaker 1: work for you just practically moving forward, so you can
- 7:14Speaker 1: be pretty lean, pretty healthy, pretty operational. And also you
- 7:19Speaker 1: can have a bit of this and a bit of that,
- 7:21Speaker 1: but not forty times a.
- 7:23Speaker 4: Week, absolutely, and I think it's only when people get
- 7:26Speaker 4: the scared or something. You know, they've got a goal
- 7:31Speaker 4: and they decide they want to change, and they realize
- 7:34Speaker 4: that change is so much harder than they ever imagined.
- 7:38Speaker 4: I got invited to a dinner party the other night,
- 7:40Speaker 4: but I was warned it was only two people and
- 7:42Speaker 4: they wanted to speak to me about pre diabetes and
- 7:47Speaker 4: talking about going on weight loss medications. I was like, oh,
- 7:49Speaker 4: here we go. So a couple of hours later we
- 7:53Speaker 4: had a really insightful conversation, and needless to say, I'm
- 7:57Speaker 4: not pro medication.
- 8:00Speaker 3: Over lifestyle because at the end of the day, if
- 8:02Speaker 3: you are going to take any of those weight.
- 8:04Speaker 4: Loss drugs, the first thing you do before you start
- 8:07Speaker 4: your script is strength training three times a week, have small,
- 8:12Speaker 4: high protein, nutrie dense meals, and make sure that you're
- 8:15Speaker 4: well nourished.
- 8:15Speaker 3: Then go on the drug. And what they.
- 8:18Speaker 4: Said to me is, well, if I was doing that, well,
- 8:20Speaker 4: why would I need the drug. I'm like, well, good question,
- 8:24Speaker 4: But can't I just go on a little bit? Well, actually,
- 8:28Speaker 4: you never ever go off it. Do you ever go
- 8:30Speaker 4: off your cholesterol, your high blood pressure medications, those sorts
- 8:33Speaker 4: of things. No, And it's the same thing with a
- 8:35Speaker 4: weight loss drug. People think that they can have a
- 8:38Speaker 4: small dose, get the weight off, and then the weight
- 8:41Speaker 4: will stay off, And that's not the way they work.
- 8:43Speaker 4: You are meant to be on them for life forever.
- 8:47Speaker 4: So once you start them, you must also keep up
- 8:50Speaker 4: your strength training three times a week and your perfect
- 8:53Speaker 4: eating three times a day, because if you don't do
- 8:56Speaker 4: perfect eating, you can only afford to eat a very
- 8:58Speaker 4: small amount of food because you'll feel sick all the time,
- 9:01Speaker 4: you'll have very small appetite, and you'll still have the
- 9:04Speaker 4: same protein and nutrient requirements, you just won't want all
- 9:07Speaker 4: the other stuff. So if you're not prepared to do
- 9:10Speaker 4: that for the rest of your life, don't start.
- 9:14Speaker 1: Wowser. Well, I mean see, and I guess playing Devil's advocate,
- 9:20Speaker 1: I'm with you. By the way, I'm not a fan
- 9:22Speaker 1: at all. And by the way, everyone, this is not
- 9:25Speaker 1: medical recommendations or prescriptions by Kate Orchip.
- 9:28Speaker 4: I have no issues with people taking it, but that's
- 9:31Speaker 4: the script that goes with the script.
- 9:33Speaker 3: That's the truth.
- 9:35Speaker 1: That's the deal. Yeah, I'm just like and I get it.
- 9:39Speaker 1: I get it that it's helped some people, and I
- 9:41Speaker 1: understand and I think that's legit. But also you know
- 9:46Speaker 1: that I can't remember the numbers, but I know that
- 9:49Speaker 1: there's definitely quite a significant percentage of the weight losses
- 9:53Speaker 1: muscle like. Nobody needs to lose muscle like nobody. There's
- 9:59Speaker 1: no benefit for anybody lose unless you're a bodybuilder who's
- 10:03Speaker 1: one hundred and forty kilos and you just want to
- 10:06Speaker 1: get smaller. But you know, losing muscle mass is losing strength,
- 10:11Speaker 1: is losing function, and if you're losing muscle mass, you're
- 10:13Speaker 1: probably losing bone density. You know, there's a whole bunch
- 10:16Speaker 1: of stuff that that potentially is going to happen. And
- 10:20Speaker 1: when we look at, you know, weight loss as a
- 10:25Speaker 1: stand alone, maybe maybe, But then if you look at
- 10:28Speaker 1: some of the all the other stuff, the side effects,
- 10:31Speaker 1: some of the physiological consequences perhaps over time of being
- 10:37Speaker 1: dependent on a drug. And while I know we probably
- 10:42Speaker 1: have a lot of lesseners who use it, and so
- 10:44Speaker 1: I'm not trying to throw any shade, but I also think,
- 10:48Speaker 1: you know, me, as the like the student of human behavior,
- 10:52Speaker 1: I just think, Okay, so now I the only way
- 10:56Speaker 1: that I can stay in the shape that I want
- 10:59Speaker 1: is I've got to take this drug now forever. When
- 11:03Speaker 1: you think, well, what does it do? It literally makes
- 11:06Speaker 1: me eat less food. Well that's what that's what other
- 11:11Speaker 1: people do, but without the drug. It's like, that's how
- 11:14Speaker 1: I went from being a fat kid to a fit kid.
- 11:16Speaker 1: Is I have my food essentially and increase my energy expenditure.
- 11:21Speaker 1: And I lost thirty kilos and there was no ozenpic
- 11:23Speaker 1: or no woogarbi or whatever it is. And you know
- 11:26Speaker 1: it's like and it's not, Oh, therefore everybody should do
- 11:29Speaker 1: what I did. But yeah, I just I don't know
- 11:32Speaker 1: that mentally and emotionally it's a great thing either.
- 11:35Speaker 3: Can I answer this?
- 11:36Speaker 4: So at this dinner party conversation, I said, well, how
- 11:39Speaker 4: much waste do you want to lose? And there's a
- 11:42Speaker 4: beautiful friends of mine, so I know they don't mind
- 11:45Speaker 4: me talking about this, and one of them wanted to
- 11:47Speaker 4: lose fifteen kilos and I said, okay, well how much
- 11:51Speaker 4: way to be lost? So far on the journey because
- 11:53Speaker 4: they've changed all their habits, they've already lost five kilos
- 11:56Speaker 4: And I said, following kilos is a lot to lose,
- 11:59Speaker 4: and she said to me, or it doesn't, you know,
- 12:02Speaker 4: it doesn't feel like a lot.
- 12:03Speaker 3: I've got a lot more to go, And.
- 12:04Speaker 4: I said, that is the equivalent of walking seventy thousand kilometers.
- 12:08Speaker 4: Now I'm not very good at geography, but that sounds
- 12:11Speaker 4: like walking around Australia to me. If it's about two.
- 12:14Speaker 3: Thousand kilometers from here to Queensland, would that be right?
- 12:18Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, like that too.
- 12:21Speaker 4: It wouldn't be to walk around Australia. That would be
- 12:24Speaker 4: That's a long way.
- 12:25Speaker 3: Isn't it.
- 12:26Speaker 1: I don't know about I don't know about that. Seventy
- 12:28Speaker 1: thousand kilometers.
- 12:30Speaker 4: Well, so you burn fifty calories per kilometer. Each kilo
- 12:36Speaker 4: is seven thousand calories seventy.
- 12:40Speaker 1: Seven Oh no, yeah, right right, So a pound of
- 12:43Speaker 1: fat is me do this? So akilo is seventy seven hundred.
- 12:49Speaker 1: A kilo is seventy seven hundred calories.
- 12:51Speaker 3: Yep, seventy seven hundred.
- 12:55Speaker 1: Yeah. The problem with this maths is I know where
- 12:57Speaker 1: you're going though. It's is that we burn different amount
- 13:01Speaker 1: of calories per unit of time, per distance. There's just
- 13:03Speaker 1: a lot of like me and TIF doing the same
- 13:06Speaker 1: thing won't burn the same calories because I'm twenty kilos heavier.
- 13:11Speaker 3: That's right.
- 13:11Speaker 4: So at the end of the day, anyway, losing weight
- 13:14Speaker 4: is much much harder than people understand. But the thing is,
- 13:18Speaker 4: if you lose a lot of weight, you do change
- 13:21Speaker 4: your metabolic rate. So if you were eating eighteen hundred
- 13:25Speaker 4: calories or two thousand calories before, let's say you go
- 13:29Speaker 4: on this drug for five years and you drop your
- 13:31Speaker 4: twenty kilos. When you are twenty kilos less, your food
- 13:36Speaker 4: requirement is significantly less, your metabolic grate is significantly less.
- 13:42Speaker 4: So are you prepared if you do or you don't
- 13:45Speaker 4: come off the drug. And most people hope to come
- 13:47Speaker 4: off the drug to have twenty five percent less food
- 13:51Speaker 4: for the rest of your life, knowing that if you
- 13:53Speaker 4: just eat good what you are eating now, you need
- 13:57Speaker 4: to have good, but twenty five percent less less than
- 14:00Speaker 4: that if you lose that much weight.
- 14:02Speaker 3: And that was a real shock because when you think
- 14:06Speaker 3: you've got to your.
- 14:07Speaker 4: Limit of how good you can be and then you're
- 14:09Speaker 4: told you need twenty five percent less than that because
- 14:13Speaker 4: as your weight comes down, your metabolick great comes down.
- 14:15Speaker 3: With that, you need a lot less food.
- 14:18Speaker 4: And is that the lifestyle you want to live for
- 14:21Speaker 4: the rest of your life, or is this number of
- 14:24Speaker 4: weight that you want to lose just a number.
- 14:27Speaker 3: Is this just a fictional thing?
- 14:29Speaker 4: Are you actually going to be happy not eating much
- 14:32Speaker 4: at all and being really careful all the time.
- 14:38Speaker 1: Yeah, Look, it's complicated because also, you know, you get
- 14:41Speaker 1: a sixty kilo lady who's got very little muscle versus
- 14:44Speaker 1: Tiff who's sixty kilos with a lot of muscle on
- 14:48Speaker 1: same height, same weight. You know, female female got to eat,
- 14:52Speaker 1: gotta eat, got to move, got to sleep, got to
- 14:54Speaker 1: be a human, so Tiff might And even if they
- 14:57Speaker 1: had the same genetics, right, which ain't going to happen,
- 14:59Speaker 1: But and if they had the same genetics, but let's
- 15:02Speaker 1: say Tiff had exponentially more muscle, well her BMR, I
- 15:08Speaker 1: mean her just getting through the day with her normal activity,
- 15:12Speaker 1: and you know BMR could be three thousand calories versus
- 15:15Speaker 1: the other lady could be seventeen hundred, you know. And
- 15:20Speaker 1: so yeah, that's the other thing is you want to
- 15:23Speaker 1: keep you want to keep or build muscle as you
- 15:26Speaker 1: get older. And I know we're taking a left turn,
- 15:30Speaker 1: will come straight back, but you're listening to this and
- 15:33Speaker 1: you're forty or older and you are not lifting weights
- 15:35Speaker 1: or doing some strength training, then you are aging and
- 15:40Speaker 1: deteriorating at a rate that you don't need to. And
- 15:44Speaker 1: I'm not being melodramatic, but if you're not doing something
- 15:48Speaker 1: to hold onto your muscle or grow muscle and improve
- 15:50Speaker 1: bone density and function and mobility and all of these things,
- 15:54Speaker 1: there's an absolute inevitability of decline at a certain ish rate.
- 16:00Speaker 1: But what we know is when you know, like I
- 16:03Speaker 1: don't know, like Kate, you're very fit and strong, TIFFs
- 16:06Speaker 1: biological age in terms of strength would have to be
- 16:10Speaker 1: like a twenty two year older lead athlete. Yeah, she's
- 16:15Speaker 1: forty two, and that's not and I don't even I mean,
- 16:18Speaker 1: you do have pretty good genetics, but but you train
- 16:21Speaker 1: like a motherfucker. So that's it. And apart from you know,
- 16:25Speaker 1: your cookie fetish, which we're putting you in therapy for.
- 16:29Speaker 4: But you know, would you take your calmps from your
- 16:34Speaker 4: cookie over your spaghetti bolonnais. I'd rather have the bowl
- 16:37Speaker 4: of bolinn Ai sauce and then have the cookie later.
- 16:40Speaker 1: She'd have both. That's the dumbest question.
- 16:42Speaker 3: I don't know the amount.
- 16:43Speaker 2: The thing is and I had to spend time realizing
- 16:47Speaker 2: this myself. Is the changes I made gradually over the
- 16:50Speaker 2: years towards a really great staple diet so that I
- 16:54Speaker 2: could have cookies like that and just knock myself out.
- 16:58Speaker 2: It's like I didn't acknowledge that along the way until
- 17:01Speaker 2: I kind of looked at what other people ate all
- 17:02Speaker 2: the time. I was like, oh, I'd never eat that.
- 17:04Speaker 2: If I'm gonna eat that, I'm gonna have seven cookies.
- 17:07Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, yes, yes, yeah, I hear you. Yeah, I
- 17:11Speaker 3: do think like that.
- 17:12Speaker 4: I like Vanilla s license, but I wouldn't sit down
- 17:16Speaker 4: to like if I had Chinese, I wouldn't eat the
- 17:19Speaker 4: whole bowl of rice as well as the I don't know,
- 17:22Speaker 4: sizzling beef or whatever else, because if I wanted something Carby,
- 17:27Speaker 4: I'd take it as my treat, not as my Yeah, anyway, what.
- 17:32Speaker 1: About you the other Well, here's the other thing, right,
- 17:36Speaker 1: None of us three are representative of the average punter,
- 17:40Speaker 1: do you know what I mean. I'm not saying better
- 17:43Speaker 1: or worse. I'm just saying, you know, we all work
- 17:46Speaker 1: in the health at fitness Space, we're all professionals. We're
- 17:49Speaker 1: all a little bit mental and obsessed. Us three da
- 17:51Speaker 1: Let's be honest, you know, So the average person ain't
- 17:56Speaker 1: no Kate sab or Tip or fatty Harps. Right, that's
- 18:00Speaker 1: that's not the average person. So you've kind of got
- 18:04Speaker 1: to look through the lens of somebody who doesn't think
- 18:07Speaker 1: like you, or live like you, or to be able
- 18:12Speaker 1: to understand a version of their reality. It's like, I'm
- 18:16Speaker 1: fully aware when I talk about this to people that
- 18:21Speaker 1: I need to try to understand what is an effort
- 18:26Speaker 1: for them versus me, you know, because if I set
- 18:29Speaker 1: my mind something, that's it. It's like I can literally
- 18:32Speaker 1: change the fucking direction of my life in twenty four hours.
- 18:35Speaker 1: That's just how my brain works. You know. I can
- 18:38Speaker 1: have a realization and go, oh, I'm not doing that anymore,
- 18:41Speaker 1: and then I don't do it anymore, like from that day.
- 18:44Speaker 1: But most people, and that's not because I'm bloody specially
- 18:48Speaker 1: or anything. That's just how my brain works. But anyway,
- 18:52Speaker 1: you sent me a message today, oh.
- 18:54Speaker 4: About the muscle though, you were saying, there's one important point.
- 18:58Speaker 4: They say your volume of muscle in your body is
- 19:00Speaker 4: directly related to your brain size. So if you are
- 19:04Speaker 4: losing muscle unintentionally because you're going through rapid weight loss
- 19:10Speaker 4: without a high protein diet and weight training a minimum
- 19:13Speaker 4: of three times a week, you will be depleting your
- 19:16Speaker 4: brain volume, not just your body. So damage is irrepairable
- 19:22Speaker 4: if you don't do it well, and some people do
- 19:24Speaker 4: do it well, but if you're going to put in
- 19:28Speaker 4: that effort, you know, it's consistency and it's every day, and.
- 19:34Speaker 1: People don't yet, You're absolutely correct. People don't realize even
- 19:38Speaker 1: that lifting weights apart from the obvious, you know, bone
- 19:42Speaker 1: density and strength and muscle and body composition. Also muscles
- 19:46Speaker 1: metabolically active and so you know the same massive muscle
- 19:50Speaker 1: versus fat muscle needs more calories so you can stay
- 19:53Speaker 1: leaner with more muscle, which is a bonus. But also
- 19:57Speaker 1: it's actually lifting weights in proves cognitive function, mood, dopamine production,
- 20:05Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Like I yeah, I feel better every
- 20:10Speaker 1: time I lift weights, and not just from the satisfaction
- 20:13Speaker 1: that I did a thing, but literally my brain chemistry
- 20:17Speaker 1: is different and I actually feel happier.
- 20:20Speaker 4: There is actually a genetic predisposition as to whether you
- 20:23Speaker 4: should weight train or more endurance, and I'm someone who
- 20:28Speaker 4: gets more pleasure out of weight training according to this
- 20:32Speaker 4: genetic traits.
- 20:33Speaker 3: I've done the big comprehensive one.
- 20:35Speaker 4: I love running, and I thought I was the euphoric runner,
- 20:39Speaker 4: and that's where I got my dopemine. But genetically it's
- 20:42Speaker 4: actually from weight training, which is interesting.
- 20:45Speaker 3: So I like great weight training, but I didn't.
- 20:50Speaker 4: Realize it's another way of that high that dopamine hit.
- 20:56Speaker 1: You should have a look at some stage, Tiffany and
- 20:59Speaker 1: Cook will tell you. So there's an organization called pH
- 21:03Speaker 1: three sixty is that what they're called?
- 21:04Speaker 4: I know?
- 21:05Speaker 1: And doctor Cam McDonald from Queensland. You know him, doctor
- 21:10Speaker 1: cam exos physiologists man about town. You'd like him, you too,
- 21:16Speaker 1: should have a chat, you'd connect. But he developed this
- 21:20Speaker 1: whole model him and a team of which tiff is
- 21:24Speaker 1: a coach and more knowledgeable and qualified in this space.
- 21:27Speaker 1: But basically where they look at how you should eat
- 21:32Speaker 1: and train and kind of training and training times and
- 21:34Speaker 1: types of food and the things that are going to
- 21:37Speaker 1: relax you or not relax you, all based on is
- 21:39Speaker 1: it five different smarter.
- 21:43Speaker 2: Types, six health types and then within that a whole
- 21:46Speaker 2: subset of different very amazing. Yeah, it's incredible.
- 21:50Speaker 1: Can you just say the six health types.
- 21:52Speaker 2: So there's an activator that's myself testosterone driven. There's activator
- 21:57Speaker 2: guardian crusader, censor diplomat and connector.
- 22:03Speaker 3: And what am I I feel like?
- 22:07Speaker 1: Am I a hybrid?
- 22:08Speaker 2: I feel yeah, I feel like you'd be like a
- 22:10Speaker 2: guardian or a connector?
- 22:13Speaker 3: Right, what does that mean? So it's a little bit,
- 22:16Speaker 3: you know what it's like.
- 22:17Speaker 2: It's it's it's like the what do they call those
- 22:21Speaker 2: Miles Briggs tests or the oh yes, like a personality profile,
- 22:25Speaker 2: but that also takes into account your biology and your
- 22:27Speaker 2: physiology and it and a lot of it is based
- 22:31Speaker 2: on the hormones that were predominant when you were an embryo,
- 22:35Speaker 2: So how you developed, So what is your body built
- 22:38Speaker 2: for so sort of exercise sprint training or strength training
- 22:42Speaker 2: or endurance, which also then dictates obviously your personality traits.
- 22:49Speaker 1: It's actually really interesting anyway. But so you sent me
- 22:54Speaker 1: a message an email and said something like which was
- 22:57Speaker 1: hilarious because you've never sent me any message like this,
- 23:00Speaker 1: and I just kind of bring it up. I can't
- 23:03Speaker 1: it's a bit boring on the show, but it said
- 23:05Speaker 1: something like, Hi, Craig, I'm angry, and I'm like, oh fuck,
- 23:08Speaker 1: what have I done? I know I make a lot
- 23:13Speaker 1: of people that I'm like, well, god read on, Craig.
- 23:18Speaker 1: But fortunately you weren't angry at me. Tell our listeners
- 23:23Speaker 1: about the paper that you sent me and wherever you
- 23:26Speaker 1: want to go, the research that's been done and what
- 23:29Speaker 1: it tells us.
- 23:31Speaker 4: So most people would know or you have spoken to
- 23:34Speaker 4: I believe on your show.
- 23:35Speaker 3: Professor Felice Jacko, who published The.
- 23:37Speaker 4: Smiles Trials, So she's the point oh one most cited
- 23:41Speaker 4: professor in the world. So her study for anyone who
- 23:44Speaker 4: doesn't know what the Smiles trial is, looked at whether
- 23:47Speaker 4: you do counseling or you change the diet for people
- 23:51Speaker 4: with major depression anxiety. And in the counseling arm they
- 23:55Speaker 4: got six or seven percent remission from major depression anxiety.
- 23:58Speaker 4: But the people that changed their diet went onto a
- 24:01Speaker 4: Mediterranean diet, got thirty two percent remission from major depression anxiety.
- 24:06Speaker 4: She published that in twenty seventeen. I met her in
- 24:09Speaker 4: twenty and nineteen.
- 24:11Speaker 1: And too quick. So what you're saying is people with
- 24:16Speaker 1: anxiety and depression, let's just slow it down. So ones
- 24:20Speaker 1: that had fucking hell once, I'm like, you're like a
- 24:24Speaker 1: robot bro. So the ones that had just therapy, yes,
- 24:28Speaker 1: it was six or seven percent remission. So in other words,
- 24:32Speaker 1: it kind of resolved itself. All was fixed or was.
- 24:36Speaker 3: Seven percent of people yet resolved their.
- 24:39Speaker 4: Major depression anxiety and it counts one yea.
- 24:43Speaker 3: It was the placebo.
- 24:44Speaker 4: It was talking to someone and option two was going
- 24:49Speaker 4: on a Mediterranean style diet and the thirty two percent
- 24:54Speaker 4: of people that were of the people that went on that,
- 24:58Speaker 4: it's thirty two percent of them got remission or put
- 25:02Speaker 4: their major depression anxiety on hold.
- 25:05Speaker 3: I guess is the best way to say that's bloody amazing.
- 25:07Speaker 1: Well, you think about versus thirty two, that's four and
- 25:10Speaker 1: a half times four and a half times. Wow. If
- 25:15Speaker 1: that was a drug, that would be very, very popular. Okay,
- 25:18Speaker 1: so we got it right now? Yes, not for so far,
- 25:23Speaker 1: Speedy Gonzales, yep. Okay.
- 25:25Speaker 4: So then in twenty nineteen I met with Professor Felice
- 25:29Speaker 4: Jakat and I talked about an idea of comparing whole
- 25:33Speaker 4: foods as a meal replacement versus supplements as a meal replacement.
- 25:39Speaker 3: And the reason I was interested.
- 25:41Speaker 4: In this at the time I was working with a
- 25:44Speaker 4: bariometric surgeon and the global standard around the world, not
- 25:48Speaker 4: just in Australia, is to go on a meal replacement
- 25:52Speaker 4: prior to weight loss surgery. Those meal replacements were one
- 25:56Speaker 4: hundred percent a supplement based, so they were ready a
- 26:00Speaker 4: chocolate shake or a chocolate bar, So they were completely synthetic, crude.
- 26:06Speaker 3: Yeah, with vitamins and minerals.
- 26:08Speaker 4: Now, that has been the gold standard for decades, decades
- 26:13Speaker 4: and decades. There's lots of science on that, and I thought, well,
- 26:17Speaker 4: why can't people do the same thing in the same
- 26:22Speaker 4: macro nutrient.
- 26:23Speaker 3: Profile but with whole food.
- 26:25Speaker 4: And I wasn't very well supported with this idea because
- 26:30Speaker 4: it hadn't been done before and there was no science,
- 26:33Speaker 4: so it seemed dangerous.
- 26:34Speaker 3: And I'm like, how can eating real food be.
- 26:38Speaker 4: More dangerous than taking a man made product with a
- 26:44Speaker 4: label on it that tells us this is what's in it.
- 26:48Speaker 4: And it really got me thinking, just because we put
- 26:51Speaker 4: it in a packet and we told someone what the
- 26:53Speaker 4: macros were, does that mean that's something someone should be eating?
- 26:59Speaker 4: You know that set that we made it, We put
- 27:01Speaker 4: a sticker on it, you should eat it?
- 27:03Speaker 3: Well should I?
- 27:04Speaker 4: Well?
- 27:04Speaker 1: Who knows?
- 27:05Speaker 3: Actually?
- 27:06Speaker 4: So we made this whole food version of this, and
- 27:09Speaker 4: needless to say, it took six years. So in October
- 27:13Speaker 4: twenty first, twenty twenty five, I see on Professor Police
- 27:17Speaker 4: Jacker's social media that this study has been published.
- 27:20Speaker 3: So what they found was there.
- 27:23Speaker 4: Was two groups of people and they were randomized to
- 27:26Speaker 4: either going on the supplement diet or the whole food
- 27:31Speaker 4: vled very low energy diet. So at eight to nine
- 27:34Speaker 4: hundred calorie diet, these diets were matched for calories, they
- 27:38Speaker 4: were matched for carbs, proteins, fats.
- 27:42Speaker 3: Micros, macros, they were completely matched.
- 27:44Speaker 4: Over the three weeks, both groups of people lost the
- 27:47Speaker 4: same amount of weight, which is not overly surprising because
- 27:53Speaker 4: if you think of calories and macros, that should make sense.
- 27:56Speaker 4: But what was really surprising was the group that lost
- 28:00Speaker 4: the weight on food versus supplements retained more lean body mass,
- 28:06Speaker 4: so their gluteal muscle was maintained, whereas the gluteal or
- 28:10Speaker 4: the butt muscle was lost on the people who took
- 28:13Speaker 4: the supplement instead of the meal diet.
- 28:16Speaker 3: The second thing was gut microbiome diversity.
- 28:21Speaker 4: So there was a huge increase in diversity in the
- 28:24Speaker 4: people that went on the food and there was actually
- 28:27Speaker 4: a decrease. It was called a non significant decrease because
- 28:31Speaker 4: it didn't.
- 28:31Speaker 3: Meet the zero zero point five P factor.
- 28:34Speaker 4: What is that you do, but it was a decline
- 28:40Speaker 4: in gut microbiome diversity as opposed to an increase, and
- 28:44Speaker 4: there was actually species forty five beneficial species found in
- 28:48Speaker 4: the people that increased or they did the food instead
- 28:52Speaker 4: of the supplement, and those bacteria have been linked to
- 28:56Speaker 4: things like reducing inflammation, improving cholesterol profile, which is then
- 29:03Speaker 4: linked to a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease as well,
- 29:07Speaker 4: amongst lots of other things. Now, the third finding, so
- 29:10Speaker 4: the first one's muscle mass, second one's gut microbiome. The
- 29:13Speaker 4: third one is leptin stability. So leptin is our hunger hormone.
- 29:18Speaker 4: It's secreted by fat cells, and it's supposed to tell
- 29:22Speaker 4: us that we're full if we have lots of fat
- 29:24Speaker 4: cells on board. What typically was thought to happen when
- 29:29Speaker 4: people went on a rapid weight loss diet, their leptin
- 29:33Speaker 4: would become unstable, meaning their appetite would go through the roofs.
- 29:37Speaker 4: So once they stopped the diet, they would have this
- 29:40Speaker 4: huge appetite and then they'd eat more food, gain the weight,
- 29:43Speaker 4: and maybe be bigger than where they started. So on
- 29:46Speaker 4: the supplement group, they found the leptin became really unstable,
- 29:50Speaker 4: which would lead to perhaps people then gorging after the
- 29:54Speaker 4: diet and regaining the weight that they'd lost over this period.
- 29:57Speaker 3: So the average weight.
- 29:58Speaker 4: Loss was between I think let's call it five five kilos.
- 30:02Speaker 4: It was somewhere between four kilos and six and a
- 30:05Speaker 4: half kilos. But the people that did it with food
- 30:08Speaker 4: actually had stable liptin levels, so their appetite was controlled
- 30:13Speaker 4: after the weight loss.
- 30:15Speaker 1: Yeah, well that doesn't surprise me at all. And the
- 30:18Speaker 1: fact that the fact that people are using a meal replacement,
- 30:23Speaker 1: which is a synthetically produced you know, wad of powder
- 30:28Speaker 1: in a can or a box or a you know,
- 30:32Speaker 1: a thing that looks like a chocolate bar, and then
- 30:35Speaker 1: and then suggesting that your idea of well, let's have
- 30:40Speaker 1: whatever calories are in that can or that bar. Let's
- 30:43Speaker 1: just do a whole food so we've got similar micros
- 30:46Speaker 1: and macros or identical micros and macros, same amount of energy,
- 30:50Speaker 1: but instead of a powder or a bar that got
- 30:52Speaker 1: produced in a fucking factory, let's have like shit that's
- 30:57Speaker 1: like action made, that's actually had a life, and let's
- 31:03Speaker 1: you know, if that's whatever, if that's an animal or
- 31:06Speaker 1: plant product. But the fact that they said that seems
- 31:09Speaker 1: dangerous I'm like, what, how is that dangerous?
- 31:14Speaker 4: So this is not the professors who did the study
- 31:18Speaker 4: thinking it's dangerous. This is the medical community. And now
- 31:23Speaker 4: I understand how science works a little bit more, because
- 31:27Speaker 4: if there is no science to support your idea, you
- 31:30Speaker 4: can't do it.
- 31:31Speaker 3: Now.
- 31:31Speaker 4: Science costs a lot of money, takes many, many years
- 31:35Speaker 4: to do, and who is going to fund whole foods
- 31:39Speaker 4: when it's pretty hard to make a lot of money
- 31:41Speaker 4: out of bloody kiwifruits and carrots. Someone's got to grow them,
- 31:46Speaker 4: and you know it's never going to get cheap. There
- 31:48Speaker 4: is no way to just pump them out.
- 31:50Speaker 3: Of a factory.
- 31:51Speaker 4: Whereas a synthetic food you get scale, you get volume,
- 31:56Speaker 4: you get machines, you get ai robots. You don't need humans,
- 31:59Speaker 4: you don't even need food in it. You can make
- 32:01Speaker 4: it up. You can do chemical copies of these things.
- 32:04Speaker 4: So the science wasn't there. And the surprising thing is
- 32:07Speaker 4: this was the world's first study comparing a whole food,
- 32:13Speaker 4: very low calorie diet to a supplement based very low
- 32:15Speaker 4: calorie diet. Even though all of the science supports very
- 32:19Speaker 4: low calorie diets done with supplements, nobody had studied the
- 32:23Speaker 4: other side of it, so I.
- 32:25Speaker 3: Just thought it was crazy.
- 32:27Speaker 4: So then when they've gone to get it published, it's
- 32:29Speaker 4: taken a couple of years, and I don't know if
- 32:31Speaker 4: that's normal, but to.
- 32:33Speaker 3: Me, I was like, wouldn't a journal jump on this?
- 32:36Speaker 4: And eventually it has been has been published in sal
- 32:39Speaker 4: Medical Journal, which is an incredible journal.
- 32:42Speaker 3: Made by the people that make the Lancet.
- 32:43Speaker 4: The best journals in the world. But it took a
- 32:47Speaker 4: long long time to get published. And when I've approached
- 32:51Speaker 4: different networks to speak about this study, I've been declined
- 32:56Speaker 4: being able to speak about it because the station are
- 33:00Speaker 4: sponsored by of course, of course, and so they won't
- 33:04Speaker 4: talk about it. It will affect their sponsorship contracts. Therefore,
- 33:08Speaker 4: humans and not allowed to know that if you eat
- 33:11Speaker 4: real food you will be more successful than supplements because
- 33:14Speaker 4: the supplement pays for the station.
- 33:16Speaker 3: So you cannot talk about that. This is science.
- 33:19Speaker 4: Done by a university, not we have not done the science.
- 33:25Speaker 4: It's not beefit food, it's not necessarily it's not you know,
- 33:28Speaker 4: it's no one.
- 33:29Speaker 3: No one owns this. The university and the staff own this.
- 33:34Speaker 1: That's an ongoing challenge. Kate is like, and there are
- 33:39Speaker 1: you know, there are many, many, many instances of this
- 33:42Speaker 1: where there would be some fucking amazing research. But if
- 33:47Speaker 1: the theory or the hypothesis proves to be true, then
- 33:51Speaker 1: that's going to cost someone a lot of money. And
- 33:55Speaker 1: as you know, to do the research, to run the research,
- 33:58Speaker 1: to do all the testing, to get ethical approval, all
- 34:02Speaker 1: of that takes money. And who's going to finance that? Yeah,
- 34:07Speaker 1: when you know some massive organization, profit driven organization, which
- 34:13Speaker 1: is how the world works. I'm not mad at profit everyone,
- 34:15Speaker 1: I'm not mad at commercialism. You know, we've got sponsors,
- 34:19Speaker 1: I get it. But yeah, this like ethical research ironically
- 34:26Speaker 1: versus you know, commercially interested research, commercially driven research. I
- 34:34Speaker 1: mean you think you harken back. In fact, I spoke
- 34:36Speaker 1: about this briefly today at my gig in the city.
- 34:40Speaker 1: I can't remember exactly who, but who the sponsors were,
- 34:43Speaker 1: but Ansel Keys when he did what was called the
- 34:46Speaker 1: twenty one country study or twenty eight country I forget,
- 34:50Speaker 1: and it ended up being where he eliminated the bulk
- 34:53Speaker 1: of the data that basically.
- 34:55Speaker 3: Didn't support his hypothesis.
- 34:57Speaker 1: In bodies I proved that his theory was bullshit, and
- 35:01Speaker 1: then he kind of scraped some a couple of some
- 35:03Speaker 1: data together to try to like all of the stuff
- 35:06Speaker 1: that didn't support his hypothesis, which was most of it
- 35:11Speaker 1: he eliminated. So they just pretended that didn't happen. And
- 35:14Speaker 1: then they, because they were funded either by the wheat
- 35:18Speaker 1: wheat industry or sugar industry or maybe both, you know,
- 35:22Speaker 1: they came up with this whole low you know, low
- 35:25Speaker 1: fat eating equals low fat humans and whole theory. And
- 35:30Speaker 1: then we saw with that, which was all financially driven,
- 35:33Speaker 1: we saw an absolute correlation, if not causation between the
- 35:40Speaker 1: incidents of obesity. When the obesity started to climb and
- 35:44Speaker 1: the low fat eating began was basically the same fucking day.
- 35:48Speaker 1: So and this is the thing, and this is why
- 35:52Speaker 1: I think, you know, and I feel a bit weird
- 35:55Speaker 1: saying this sometimes, but like I say to people, if
- 35:59Speaker 1: you want to listen to my research and my PhD
- 36:02Speaker 1: in my findings or you don't, I understand that. But
- 36:05Speaker 1: here's the thing, Like, there's no financial incentive for me.
- 36:09Speaker 1: I didn't care what the outcome was. I don't care.
- 36:12Speaker 1: I'm not financially incentivized to produce a specific result. I
- 36:16Speaker 1: just wanted to see what the research would tell us, right,
- 36:20Speaker 1: But there is a lot of research done where that
- 36:24Speaker 1: university or that team, they are dependent on the financial
- 36:28Speaker 1: support of the people who are getting or who are
- 36:32Speaker 1: very interested in the outcome of the research.
- 36:36Speaker 3: Or they won't get out of funding, will they will?
- 36:39Speaker 1: And I mean, like people think that science is this
- 36:41Speaker 1: flawless fucking thing. And while the intentions, I think for
- 36:48Speaker 1: the most part are good, and I think most science
- 36:51Speaker 1: is somewhere in the ballpark of ethical, but you've got
- 36:55Speaker 1: to remember that all science is run by scientists. All
- 37:00Speaker 1: scientists are human. All universities that I know of are
- 37:06Speaker 1: profit driven. You know, they make money, They charge people
- 37:10Speaker 1: to be there. They've got enormous bills. I don't know
- 37:14Speaker 1: UNI's not for profit anyway, but you know, it's like
- 37:18Speaker 1: where money and profit is involved, it's very rare we're
- 37:23Speaker 1: going to get this kind of totally ethical objective, no
- 37:28Speaker 1: influence from any external kind of force research.
- 37:33Speaker 4: So there's one side of it why we might not
- 37:35Speaker 4: get the research. But let's say this research that you
- 37:39Speaker 4: dream of has been done, Nobody will bloody read it.
- 37:42Speaker 3: It's not the Herald Sun or the Age or the frickin'
- 37:46Speaker 3: you project podcast.
- 37:47Speaker 4: There is no journal that the average person subscribes to.
- 37:51Speaker 3: They can't even read it.
- 37:52Speaker 4: Like you said, the study was eight hundred pages long.
- 37:55Speaker 4: Sorry I couldn't read it before the podcast. Like people
- 37:58Speaker 4: aren't reading journals. If news reporters and people that are
- 38:03Speaker 4: in the media won't talk about it, what's the point
- 38:06Speaker 4: of doing the bloody study after all?
- 38:09Speaker 3: Because it's been buried.
- 38:11Speaker 1: Yeah, well that is, I mean, yeah, so you're doing it.
- 38:15Speaker 1: You're doing what you can. We're doing what we can.
- 38:17Speaker 1: But it's it's and that's probably not going to go
- 38:21Speaker 1: away anytime soon. And I think, you know, what people
- 38:25Speaker 1: get to you know, even like I think the University
- 38:29Speaker 1: of South Australia at the end of twenty twenty three,
- 38:32Speaker 1: I think was did to study UNSA UNISA did a
- 38:37Speaker 1: study looking at the efficacy of exercise versus antidepressants for
- 38:42Speaker 1: people with depression. And of course I'm going to tell
- 38:45Speaker 1: you that, you know, the exercise outperformed the drugs by
- 38:50Speaker 1: a fucking outstanding a margin and percentage, and that got
- 38:55Speaker 1: about seven seconds of media coverage because it's an incredibly
- 39:01Speaker 1: profitable industry. And by the way, of course, I mean,
- 39:05Speaker 1: you know, go for a run or go lift weights
- 39:07Speaker 1: or versus take a pill. Well, I'll just take the pill.
- 39:10Speaker 1: It's not as good, but it's you know, and look,
- 39:13Speaker 1: and there's no judgment in that, I understand it. But
- 39:16Speaker 1: when you go, this thing that you can do is
- 39:20Speaker 1: better than any pill on the planet, any medication you
- 39:25Speaker 1: can take. There is nothing as good as this protocol.
- 39:30Speaker 1: It just happens to be called exercise.
- 39:32Speaker 4: Alongside with the diet, with the smiles trial. You put
- 39:35Speaker 4: the diet in the exercise together.
- 39:37Speaker 1: Yep, yep, yep yep. And like you think about, like
- 39:42Speaker 1: what is a pill? It's something you're putting in your body.
- 39:45Speaker 1: What is And this is not an ad for Beefit
- 39:49Speaker 1: Foods anyone. I don't. I'm not sponsored by Kate. And
- 39:52Speaker 1: even when Kate sent me an email, shit, I don't
- 39:54Speaker 1: even care if we don't talk about our company. But
- 39:57Speaker 1: whether or not you put beef fit foods or you
- 39:59Speaker 1: put one in two it's cookies, or you put a
- 40:01Speaker 1: fucking pill in your body or whatever, it's something you're ingesting.
- 40:05Speaker 1: And so there's going to be a reaction. There's going
- 40:06Speaker 1: to be a physiological consequence, there's going to be an interaction.
- 40:10Speaker 1: It's going to work well, it's not going to work.
- 40:11Speaker 1: It's going to make no difference. It's going to make
- 40:13Speaker 1: a lot of difference. So too, when you do something
- 40:16Speaker 1: to your body, I am going to lift weights that's
- 40:20Speaker 1: interacting with your physiology. Well, I'm going to go for
- 40:22Speaker 1: a run that's interacting with your physiology. You're doing something
- 40:26Speaker 1: to that thing that you live in, and there's going
- 40:29Speaker 1: to be an outcome. It could be good, it could
- 40:32Speaker 1: be inert it could be significant, insignificant, it could be
- 40:36Speaker 1: fucking mind blowing. You know, I know hundreds of people
- 40:44Speaker 1: who physically and mentally and emotionally are better than they
- 40:48Speaker 1: used to be by a long time, a long way
- 40:52Speaker 1: because they just work out whereas they didn't used to
- 40:54Speaker 1: work out, And they're not Jim junkies, and they're not obsessed,
- 40:58Speaker 1: and they're not weirdos, and they I train four hours
- 41:01Speaker 1: a day. They just do their little thirty to sixty
- 41:04Speaker 1: minutes of something every day. But they're consistent, and their
- 41:07Speaker 1: depression's gone or it's less, their anxiety is gone or
- 41:11Speaker 1: it's less. And I'm not talking about four people I know.
- 41:14Speaker 1: I'm talking about fucking hundreds of people. Over the years
- 41:16Speaker 1: that I've been doing this and not only that, relationships
- 41:20Speaker 1: get better, confidence get better, energy gets better, interactions get better,
- 41:25Speaker 1: work gets better, because now I've done this thing to
- 41:29Speaker 1: my body and it all works better. And when my
- 41:31Speaker 1: body works better, my emotional system works better, my brain
- 41:35Speaker 1: works better, My fucking life is better, you know. So
- 41:40Speaker 1: now I'm on my side box. It's true, though, isn't it.
- 41:46Speaker 3: Oh, it's so true. It's so true, and I must think.
- 41:49Speaker 4: The main time this happened for me is after I'd
- 41:53Speaker 4: given birth to my first child, and you have.
- 41:56Speaker 3: Sleep deprived, I'm trying to run.
- 41:58Speaker 4: I only had one business at this stay, but I
- 42:00Speaker 4: had twenty three stuff and I'd gone downstairs because my
- 42:04Speaker 4: baby had not stopped screaming for two and a half
- 42:07Speaker 4: hours and I hadn't slept, and I took the carrier
- 42:10Speaker 4: with me, and I put her in the carry out
- 42:12Speaker 4: and I put on my headphones, and I got on
- 42:14Speaker 4: the treadmill and I ran it fifteen kilometers an hour
- 42:17Speaker 4: until I felt like I actually started bawling my eyes out,
- 42:22Speaker 4: crying because at the moment that I took my baby downstairs,
- 42:25Speaker 4: I could not feel love for that child anymore, because
- 42:29Speaker 4: I was breaking, I was tearing apart with what I
- 42:33Speaker 4: look back on might have felt like, might have been
- 42:36Speaker 4: postnatal depression.
- 42:37Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 42:37Speaker 4: It was just no sleep, screaming child, and pressure upon
- 42:43Speaker 4: pressure for work. And I know that within I can't
- 42:46Speaker 4: run fifteen kilometers an hour on the treadmill very long,
- 42:49Speaker 4: so it probably was no longer than a couple of minutes.
- 42:53Speaker 4: I got off there, balling my eyes out, feeling so
- 42:55Speaker 4: grateful for my baby, and I realized that I hadn't
- 43:00Speaker 4: exercised for six weeks or something since having the baby,
- 43:04Speaker 4: and I needed that chemical I needed that hit from
- 43:09Speaker 4: the treadmill to make me feel normal.
- 43:12Speaker 1: Yeah. Wow, that's a good story, dude. Well, think about
- 43:18Speaker 1: like everything that we do to our body creates a
- 43:22Speaker 1: chemical biochemical response. Like laughter changes what's going on in
- 43:26Speaker 1: your brain. Laughter changes what's happening in your nervous system,
- 43:29Speaker 1: changes what's happening in your gut, changes what's happening with
- 43:32Speaker 1: your bloody immune system. It's like that's just laughing.
- 43:38Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you know, And then there's sunshine, and then
- 43:42Speaker 5: there's quality sleep, and then there's somebody. Then there's tip
- 43:46Speaker 5: line on the floor with a fucking furry friends. You know.
- 43:51Speaker 1: It's like, I mean there are so many things, great
- 43:54Speaker 1: things that we can do to our body and for
- 43:57Speaker 1: our body that don't require a pill, which did not
- 44:02Speaker 1: say you know, medication doesn't have a place. Definitely does yeah,
- 44:08Speaker 1: but it's like, yeah, well it's you know, what's going
- 44:12Speaker 1: on with you?
- 44:12Speaker 6: And is there another option other than that thing in
- 44:16Speaker 6: that container?
- 44:18Speaker 4: Absolutely, And like you said at the start, there's probably
- 44:20Speaker 4: a lot of people listening that are on a weight
- 44:22Speaker 4: loss medication. And the thing is we need to support
- 44:26Speaker 4: them because they've taken action, they've done something, but a
- 44:29Speaker 4: lot of them are missing the education that goes with
- 44:32Speaker 4: that pill, the weight training minimum three times a week
- 44:35Speaker 4: and eating perfectly portioned, high protein, nutrient dense, fiber rich foods.
- 44:41Speaker 4: Otherwise I'll be constipated as hell, lose a heap of
- 44:44Speaker 4: muscle mass, and have no energy and no micronutrients. So
- 44:48Speaker 4: the hair will fall out, their nails are turned to crap,
- 44:50Speaker 4: the skin will turn to crap, and their brain won't work.
- 44:52Speaker 4: So the people that have taken that step, good on them.
- 44:58Speaker 4: But know that that's script comes with a lifestyle script.
- 45:02Speaker 4: And if you have not been given that lifestyle script,
- 45:06Speaker 4: pedestal back to Cray to make sure that he's reminding
- 45:11Speaker 4: people that. On every episode, I hear you talk about
- 45:14Speaker 4: exercise and food and health and sleep and sunshine all
- 45:19Speaker 4: the time, and they need to be hearing this because.
- 45:22Speaker 3: It's not optional. You put that pill in your body,
- 45:26Speaker 3: it is not optional.
- 45:29Speaker 1: I mean, we're going to wind up, I know. But
- 45:32Speaker 1: this is what I do. I go, what's the best
- 45:35Speaker 1: thing I can do for my body? And then I
- 45:38Speaker 1: do that. I do that. Yeah, you know, I go, oh,
- 45:43Speaker 1: is this better than that? Yeah, well that's better. Well
- 45:45Speaker 1: I'll do that then.
- 45:47Speaker 4: And people that are injured, what would you say. I'd say,
- 45:51Speaker 4: do the things that you can do. It's like people
- 45:54Speaker 4: go to me, I've got a ninja and ankle.
- 45:55Speaker 1: Well, I go, I can give you fucking six hundred
- 45:58Speaker 1: exercises that you don't need your own. So next, you know,
- 46:02Speaker 1: it's like if you and look, it's not about like yesterday,
- 46:08Speaker 1: I had to drive for five hours. I had to
- 46:10Speaker 1: go see my parents then take them up. I had
- 46:13Speaker 1: just had a mental day and it was just, you know,
- 46:16Speaker 1: crazy busy, and it was a strength training day for me.
- 46:20Speaker 1: And I got home at stupid o'clock and I was
- 46:23Speaker 1: fucked and I went, I'm having a day off, right,
- 46:26Speaker 1: But it's a conscious decision and it's not like, oh,
- 46:29Speaker 1: I'm being lazy or I'm being soft. It's like, well, Craig,
- 46:33Speaker 1: you've been You've done a million things. I'd already walked
- 46:36Speaker 1: my ten thousand steps for the day, dah da da da,
- 46:38Speaker 1: and I just went, ah, I'm not doing it. And
- 46:41Speaker 1: then just before before we did this, I walked to
- 46:44Speaker 1: the gym down the one close by me in Hampton
- 46:47Speaker 1: and I just lifted some shit. Felt great, and I'm back.
- 46:50Speaker 1: You know, it's not about being obsessed, like you're gonna
- 46:53Speaker 1: have days off, You're gonna have You're gonna have meals
- 46:54Speaker 1: where you go. I'm going out and it's my Whoever's
- 46:57Speaker 1: party on Saturday, and I'm gonna cut lose a little bit.
- 47:00Speaker 1: I'm not going to be a maniac, but I'm gonna yeah, great, great,
- 47:03Speaker 1: but don't cut loose for the week. You know. It's
- 47:07Speaker 1: like it's like just trying to build a healthy relationship
- 47:11Speaker 1: with your body, but also making healthy and practical choices
- 47:17Speaker 1: in real time as we navigate you know, being humans, Yeah,
- 47:23Speaker 1: navigate being a human? Where can people find you and
- 47:26Speaker 1: follow you?
- 47:26Speaker 4: Kate hate save on LinkedIn or Instagram or beefitfood dot
- 47:33Speaker 4: coms that you or around, beef it Food Australia Instagram.
- 47:38Speaker 1: And Kate didn't ask me to do this, but I've
- 47:40Speaker 1: had quite a few of her meals and they are
- 47:42Speaker 1: fucking great. So if you're in that space and you
- 47:46Speaker 1: think I don't know which ones to get, like because
- 47:49Speaker 1: there's so many and this, so you can buy like
- 47:51Speaker 1: meals that look like, oh, this is healthy and then
- 47:54Speaker 1: run out by Bucks and it's like, ah, I say
- 48:00Speaker 1: what because I'm embarrassed. I wasn't going to tell you this,
- 48:02Speaker 1: but fuck it, I bought. I bought a couple of
- 48:04Speaker 1: things that kind of looked I'm like, oh, this is
- 48:06Speaker 1: not bad. It's like a bit of chicken. I got it.
- 48:09Speaker 1: I don't know what the chicken was, but it wasn't
- 48:11Speaker 1: fucking chicken.
- 48:12Speaker 6: It was chickenish. It was chicken ish. I'm like, this
- 48:15Speaker 6: ain't chicken. This is like chicken flavored something. And the
- 48:20Speaker 6: amount of it was like chicken and rice sate or
- 48:23Speaker 6: something like that. Well, let's say the thing weighed four
- 48:26Speaker 6: hundred grams, there would have been twenty grams of chicken
- 48:30Speaker 6: in there, chicks around eighty grams of rice and this
- 48:33Speaker 6: horrible sauce. I'm like, and that's why I don't buy
- 48:36Speaker 6: this anyway.
- 48:38Speaker 4: It's called value apparently because they weigh it by the
- 48:40Speaker 4: gram in the supermarket, and the heavier it is, the
- 48:43Speaker 4: higher value it is, and it goes down, down, down. Wow,
- 48:47Speaker 4: fill up the trolley for less.
- 48:49Speaker 1: Yeah, boom, Tiff, it's been great.
- 48:54Speaker 2: Thanks Harper. Shout out to Beefit Foods, Protein Bulls. They're
- 48:58Speaker 2: real good. I ate all seven in the one day.
- 49:01Speaker 2: They come in a box of seven.
- 49:04Speaker 3: It'd be good for your gut.
- 49:05Speaker 4: House launched cookie and providing you'll probably be on the toilet.
- 49:11Speaker 1: I've never had I've never had one, but I mean,
- 49:13Speaker 1: feel free to just shuffle some way. We'll say goodbye.
- 49:18Speaker 1: Thanks Kate.
- 49:19Speaker 3: Thanks
