Speaker 2: Remedy Place. How do I describe Remedy Place. Remedy Place
1:15
Speaker 2: is basically a health focused sanctuary. It's a wellness club.

1:27
Speaker 2: the bar. It has a bunch of different treatments and
1:30
Speaker 2: availabilities there that you can do with friends. Of course
1:33
Speaker 2: you can also do them alone, but everything from infrared
1:37
Speaker 2: sauna and cryotherapy to sitting in there like absolutely stunning
1:42
Speaker 2: lounge area and having a juice, to taking a class
1:45
Speaker 2: they have on site chiropractors and doctors and cold plunge tups.

Speaker 2: I mean literally the gamut. You can get it all
1:51

3:36
Speaker 2: get to hurdling today. I am sitting down with doctor
3:53
Speaker 2: Jonathan Leary. He is the CEO and founder of Remedy
3:57
Speaker 2: Place here in Los Angeles. I went yesterday.
3:59
Speaker 1: It was amaz I'm so happy you enjoyed it. Hi,
4:03
Speaker 1: so nice to see you get I know.
4:04
Speaker 2: It's great. I walked into Okay, before we really get
4:08
Speaker 2: into what we're here to talk about today, which is
4:12
Speaker 2: hacks for us all to get just that little bit healthier,
4:15
Speaker 2: like easy access points we'll call them. Yeah, Okay, before
4:18
Speaker 2: we get into that, I always ask my guests to
4:22
Speaker 2: give me some insight into how they became this expert
4:26
Speaker 2: in their field. So you CEO and founder of Remedy Place,
4:31
Speaker 2: but so much more than that, So give me a
4:32
Speaker 2: little bit of your backstory fill the hurdlers in.
4:34
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I had my private practice for Remedy Place
4:38
Speaker 1: prior for five years actually, so it was a sports
4:41
Speaker 1: medicine practice that was a non surgical, non drug approach
4:45
Speaker 1: to surgery prevention or chronic pain rehabilitation. And quickly I realized,
4:50
Speaker 1: I'm like, why am I just working with the healthiest athletes,
4:52
Speaker 1: our healthiest bodies in the world. When the average person's
4:55
Speaker 1: way more sick or in a lot more pain. And
4:59
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, I think there's an opportunity in
5:01
Speaker 1: the market to treat the average person like a pro athlete.
5:04
Speaker 1: So I opened up my practice to corporate love executives
5:08
Speaker 1: or people in music and film industry. Had two really
5:10
Speaker 1: big public cases or patients, and within three months I
5:14
Speaker 1: had a waitlist. And it was just five years of
5:17
Speaker 1: traveling the world with cool people and cool families. I
5:19
Speaker 1: told you this yesterday, and it was so cool because
5:22
Speaker 1: I'm like, it opened this whole other world and allowed
5:25
Speaker 1: me to also build the network to build remedy, and
5:29
Speaker 1: I got to use those five years for more clinical
5:32
Speaker 1: evidence and just look at what people needed and what
5:35
Speaker 1: people want and also gaps that I saw missing in
5:38
Speaker 1: the health and momness industry. And then I finally was
5:42
Speaker 1: able to put it all together with Remedy. You know,
5:44
Speaker 1: I had one patient that was he said, she said, John,
5:47
Speaker 1: you know, if you want to change healthcare, how can
5:49
Speaker 1: you do that? Seeing one patient at a time, I
5:52
Speaker 1: was like, I got to get back to my business
5:54
Speaker 1: plan because Remedy Place was my original practice idea. And
5:57
Speaker 1: when I graduated school, I for four years through my doctorate.
6:01
Speaker 1: I worked in this business plan for two hours every Sunday.
6:04
Speaker 1: It was like one hundred and fifty eight page business plan.
6:07
Speaker 1: Went to the bank, presented it to this woman and
6:11
Speaker 1: she kind of chuckled at me and she said, you know, Jonathan, like,
6:14
Speaker 1: how am I supposed to give you a loan if
6:15
Speaker 1: you have two thousand dollars in the bank? And I
6:17
Speaker 1: was like, that's why I need a loan. And you know,
6:20
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't have any mentor is there anyone
6:22
Speaker 1: that was like teaching me the business side. And I
6:25
Speaker 1: also had X amount and student loan debt, you know.
6:28
Speaker 1: So that's really when I just opened a concier's practice,
6:31
Speaker 1: first opening remedy. But it was actually perfect because those
6:36
Speaker 1: extra five years made so much of an impact on
6:40
Speaker 1: the actual club. But it also made me way more
6:42
Speaker 1: prepared and I think society is way more prepared for
6:45
Speaker 1: what we're doing.
6:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, so first we just need to like highlight the
6:50
Speaker 2: like the term concierge doctor just so yeah sounds so
6:54
Speaker 2: buzzy and like delightful and super a little bit like
6:57
Speaker 2: so fancy it is.
7:00
Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing, you know. Coincidentally enough, I started
7:03
Speaker 1: a concier's practice. I couldn't afford to have a little office,
7:06
Speaker 1: yeah you know. But actually the last year of my school,
7:09
Speaker 1: I started a Concier's personal training company that was taking
7:13
Speaker 1: people from physical therapy and back into the gym. At
7:16
Speaker 1: that time, with me doing my rotations and classes, I
7:19
Speaker 1: only had time for like I think I had three clients.
7:22
Speaker 1: But I was like, Okay, I'm just going to add
7:25
Speaker 1: my new services, everything that is under my scope to
7:27
Speaker 1: my conciers training company, and that's how I was able
7:30
Speaker 1: to get started. But I found so many accidental findings.
7:33
Speaker 1: You know, when you're working with someone in their health,
7:36
Speaker 1: you know, you don't want them to be in an
7:38
Speaker 1: environment that they're not comfortable in. You know, there's a
7:40
Speaker 1: thing called white coat syndrome where people are their heart
7:42
Speaker 1: rate and their blood pressure go through the roof when
7:44
Speaker 1: they step into hospital because they're scared and nervous. But
7:47
Speaker 1: what I found was when when a patient led me
7:49
Speaker 1: into their home and they were in their comfort zone
7:51
Speaker 1: and they trusted me, that first like barrier to entry
7:54
Speaker 1: of every single visit was let down, so they actually
7:57
Speaker 1: got much more of an impact with that healing. And
7:59
Speaker 1: that that's where we use you know, all of this
8:02
Speaker 1: knowledge into the design of Remedy Place because the environment
8:05
Speaker 1: of where you're healing could be evenly as important as
8:08
Speaker 1: the actual therapy that you're getting right.
8:10
Speaker 2: Right, So then talk to me about what Remedy Place is.
8:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, So Remedy Place is the world's first social wellness club.
8:17
Speaker 1: So it's a whole entire club center around alistic self
8:20
Speaker 1: care and it's made to enhance your health and your
8:22
Speaker 1: social life at the same time. That's what I mean
8:24
Speaker 1: by that. It's not like a spa where you go
8:26
Speaker 1: and isolate yourself in every room. You do have the
8:28
Speaker 1: option to do that, but we would rather you do
8:30
Speaker 1: things with others and as a replacement for what you
8:32
Speaker 1: normally do to socialize. So think of it as like
8:34
Speaker 1: your date spot, your meeting spot where you meet friends.
8:37
Speaker 1: Have to work to one wine what you would do
8:38
Speaker 1: instead of a Sunday fun day or you'd for your
8:40
Speaker 1: birthday or corporate outing. We basically want to take every
8:44
Speaker 1: single thing that people do to socialize and then just
8:46
Speaker 1: give them a healthier alternative if if they want that
8:49
Speaker 1: that day. Because we're all center around balance, We're not
8:51
Speaker 1: saying you have to be perfect. It's about making sure
8:54
Speaker 1: that you have a little bit of everything, but majority
8:56
Speaker 1: of the time you're doing what's best. And I think
8:58
Speaker 1: people right now are craving this healthy social environment because
9:02
Speaker 1: there really isn't. I mean, everywhere you go, even if
9:04
Speaker 1: you're good, there's always temptation or toxins around you, and
9:07
Speaker 1: remedy places fully temptation and toxin free. As we like to.
9:11
Speaker 2: Say, I went in yesterday, I did an infrared sauna.
9:15
Speaker 2: I also what did I What kind of shot did
9:17
Speaker 2: I got? I got an actual injection. Yeah I should
9:20
Speaker 2: know more about that.
9:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to bite them an injection so that
9:24
Speaker 1: the one that the remedy shot you got was NAD.
9:27
Speaker 1: MICK and B twelve Uh. MICK is for like liver detoxing.
9:31
Speaker 1: B twelve converts your food to energy and nad's cellular rejuvenation.
9:36
Speaker 1: So they call it like the Fountain of youth. People
9:38
Speaker 1: are paying like eight hundred dollars inn IV bag just
9:40
Speaker 1: sit there for a couple hours and just get NAD.
9:43
Speaker 1: It's it's actually insane.
9:45
Speaker 2: Wow.
9:45
Speaker 1: So we compress it all into one little shot and
9:48
Speaker 1: I get it a couple of times a week.
9:49
Speaker 2: Cash obsess this is why you Well, I'm spoiled as young.
9:52
Speaker 2: Yes you do so, yeah, I mean I in Forred Sanna,
9:56
Speaker 2: I got this shot, I sat in like this beautiful
9:58
Speaker 2: lounge area. Every thing is like super lux feeling and
10:02
Speaker 2: just like such a nice experience.
10:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, from like a psychological standpoint, we wanted
10:06
Speaker 1: it to look like a place where you normally go
10:08
Speaker 1: to socialize. So the whole front of the bar, I'm
10:11
Speaker 1: still the whole front of the entry looks like a
10:12
Speaker 1: bar lounge Totel lobbyists feel that way. If you're like, oh,
10:16
Speaker 1: I normally go get a drink after work. When you
10:18
Speaker 1: bring friends to a place that looks like where you
10:20
Speaker 1: get a drink, you take away the drink, you know,
10:23
Speaker 1: like it's an easier juxtaposition. And then every room behind
10:27
Speaker 1: the scenes is more made to look like a room
10:29
Speaker 1: of your house, right, a cozy, warm right.
10:31
Speaker 2: And so for the way that it works, can you
10:34
Speaker 2: do things a la carte? You have to be a member?
10:36
Speaker 2: How does that work?
10:37
Speaker 1: Yeah? So we it's it's inclusive. It's not an exclusive club,
10:41
Speaker 1: but to have some exclusive component, we only do two
10:44
Speaker 1: hundred members per club. These members, we feel as though,
10:47
Speaker 1: are like good representation of the brand, you know, they
10:50
Speaker 1: do something cool in life. They're good people, they hang
10:52
Speaker 1: around with the right people. And as a thank you,
10:55
Speaker 1: because we don't do any influencer marketing or free treatments,
10:59
Speaker 1: we give them it's a little over three thousand dollars
11:01
Speaker 1: worth of services for five hundred dollars a month. So
11:04
Speaker 1: that's like our thank you, Like, continue to be a
11:06
Speaker 1: good person, and you know, you get this discount and
11:09
Speaker 1: then everyone else gets secondary booking as an all of
11:12
Speaker 1: car service.
11:12
Speaker 2: Got it? Got it? Well? I mean I loved going.
11:15
Speaker 2: I'm happy that it brought me to meet you, and
11:17
Speaker 2: now I'm excited to bring your expertise to the hurdlers. Yeah,
11:20
Speaker 2: I love it so that we can talk about getting healthier.
11:24
Speaker 2: I mean I was recording earlier with the group Chat Guys,
11:27
Speaker 2: one of my favorite podcasts. I talked about it on
11:29
Speaker 2: the show last week, and we were talking about, like,
11:32
Speaker 2: what's the like, how what's the biggest hurdle so to speak,
11:36
Speaker 2: for people on their wellness journey, And my answer was starting.
11:41
Speaker 1: Yeah.
11:41
Speaker 2: A lot of the time people don't start because it
11:44
Speaker 2: feels overwhelming because you might not know where to start.
11:47
Speaker 2: You're comparing yourself to what you see on social media.
11:49
Speaker 2: And so I was thinking about how you and I
11:53
Speaker 2: should connect and my next thought was, well, something that
11:57
Speaker 2: could be really helpful is to chat about, you know,
12:00
Speaker 2: the small things that don't have a huge barrier to
12:03
Speaker 2: entry when it comes to our own personal wellness, but
12:05
Speaker 2: can make a huge, huge difference.
12:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's the key, right for me. It's
12:11
Speaker 1: not the problem of starting, because I feel like now
12:14
Speaker 1: at our point in the world, like everyone's at least
12:17
Speaker 1: tried something once, right, it's really the maintaining. I think
12:20
Speaker 1: so many people try these aggressive approaches where they're like,
12:23
Speaker 1: I have to accomplish this goal. But it's not a
12:26
Speaker 1: there's not like a checkpoint or like an end of
12:28
Speaker 1: the finish line. It's like, for me, what can you
12:30
Speaker 1: do for the rest of your life? I don't care
12:32
Speaker 1: if it's I'm going to drink one extra glass of
12:34
Speaker 1: water a day. It has to be something small increments
12:37
Speaker 1: that can be done forever. And we can always mix
12:40
Speaker 1: some macts and change, but it should never be a
12:43
Speaker 1: diet that you're going to do for a month or
12:45
Speaker 1: three months. It's like, what are those nutritional changes you're
12:48
Speaker 1: going to make and grow to love Because it's about
12:51
Speaker 1: the psychological perspective of also loving what you're doing. Because
12:54
Speaker 1: if you are on a certain meal program I don't
12:57
Speaker 1: even like to say diet, yeah, and you hate it,
13:00
Speaker 1: psychological or hormonal effects of you thinking I hate this
13:03
Speaker 1: while you're eating it or being miserable can be as
13:05
Speaker 1: detrimental as actually eating something unhealthy. So it's really about
13:09
Speaker 1: the relationship with whatever the program is that you're doing
13:12
Speaker 1: or regimen, but then also something that is tangible, something
13:15
Speaker 1: that you know that you can do.
13:17
Speaker 2: So then what are some things we can do? Kick
13:20
Speaker 2: us off with thing number one?
13:22
Speaker 1: I think, you know the simplest one, you know, I
13:24
Speaker 1: think one hydration.
13:26
Speaker 2: Yep.
13:27
Speaker 1: It's you know, people hear all the time and I'm
13:29
Speaker 1: sure they're like, oh, okay, gon to talk about water.
13:31
Speaker 1: But seriously, if I if I analyze one hundred people
13:34
Speaker 1: or all of my patients, it's very rare that anyone's
13:37
Speaker 1: ever fully hydrated. If you're dehydrated, one digestion is going
13:41
Speaker 1: to be off, energy is going to be off. If
13:44
Speaker 1: you have ache, pain, or tightness, it's going to be worsened.
13:48
Speaker 1: You know, it's correlated to everything, and it's something as
13:51
Speaker 1: simple as it doesn't matter if you have zero money,
13:54
Speaker 1: or you don't have any fancy clubs to go do
13:57
Speaker 1: or you know, fancy devices or nutrition probe. It's a
14:01
Speaker 1: it's drink drink more water, and that will make a
14:04
Speaker 1: huge impact because you know, it's so simple, other than
14:08
Speaker 1: you know, getting used to going to the bathroom all
14:10
Speaker 1: the time in the beginning. But other than that, I mean,
14:13
Speaker 1: that's number one. Two, it's about eating less. You know,
14:17
Speaker 1: if I talk about nutrition, right, I think every year
14:19
Speaker 1: Americans consume more and more food. Obviously we shouldn't be
14:23
Speaker 1: consuming more food every year because we're the same size,
14:25
Speaker 1: you know, or you know, So it's how do we
14:28
Speaker 1: shift how much we eat? And this is where I think,
14:30
Speaker 1: no matter any of my patients, no matter what their
14:33
Speaker 1: schedule is, if they're flying all over the world, or
14:36
Speaker 1: they don't have access, or they don't have money, by
14:40
Speaker 1: doing intermittent fasting, this doesn't work for everyone, depending like
14:44
Speaker 1: hormonally or certain times in different stages of life, but
14:46
Speaker 1: as a whole, if you condense the time that you eat,
14:50
Speaker 1: you know, like eating just within an eight hour window,
14:52
Speaker 1: not even eating less, just condensing the time, that will
14:55
Speaker 1: give one your digestion a break to heal. Because everyone's
14:59
Speaker 1: guts are a mess, and we want it to you know,
15:01
Speaker 1: we want your body to have the time to focus
15:03
Speaker 1: on healing, you know, So it will decrease inflammation. The
15:06
Speaker 1: pro inflammatory markers systemically will drop. Your immune system will
15:11
Speaker 1: also improve because seventy percent of your immune cells are
15:14
Speaker 1: generated outside of your GI tract. So with that being said,
15:18
Speaker 1: you get huge, a huge boost and your immune system
15:22
Speaker 1: by minimizing how much is traveling through your intestines and
15:26
Speaker 1: also allows the bacteria, the good bacteria, to you know, flourish.
15:29
Speaker 1: And it's like ninety percent of your serotonin levels, which
15:33
Speaker 1: is the hormone that makes you happy, are generated from
15:36
Speaker 1: that bacteria. So we're talking about mood, immunity, and decreasing
15:40
Speaker 1: inflammation just by oh wow, I'm just going to condense
15:43
Speaker 1: how much I eat or condense the timeframe. And I
15:46
Speaker 1: don't care if my patients have had autoimmune condition, gastrointestinal problems, anxiety, depression, aches,
15:52
Speaker 1: or pains. This has always made a solid impact And
15:55
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what their schedule is or how crazy
15:58
Speaker 1: their life is. It's just it's just minimizing.
16:02
Speaker 2: So my initial follow up question is, as someone who
16:05
Speaker 2: is an early morning exerciser, yeah, how do I handle
16:08
Speaker 2: something like that?
16:09
Speaker 1: Yeah? So here's the thing, what do most people do
16:11
Speaker 1: when they're like I always need to eat right before
16:13
Speaker 1: I go to the gym, right or on the way
16:14
Speaker 1: to the gym.
16:14
Speaker 2: My question isn't really even about on my way to
16:16
Speaker 2: the gym, it's like after.
16:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, so hormonally it's actually better to work out on
16:22
Speaker 1: a fasted stomach. You're talking about the time period after
16:25
Speaker 1: to replenish.
16:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean like if I'm finishing my workout at
16:28
Speaker 2: seven am and I'm not sure to eat until noon.
16:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, so once again that that's actually okay, you know,
16:36
Speaker 1: like how does one do that? No? And that's the
16:38
Speaker 1: thing is we think of, like, all right, we need
16:40
Speaker 1: to replenish our energy stores, Like the glycogen people are like,
16:42
Speaker 1: you know, you should have some fruit after that is
16:45
Speaker 1: also fine, But the effects of the inflammation dropping and
16:49
Speaker 1: also the effects of your immune system all the hormone shifting.
16:53
Speaker 1: For men too, they're like, oh, I need to put
16:55
Speaker 1: on muscle your testosterone, your growth hormone will actually spike more.
17:00
Speaker 1: So the hormonal change will be improved by just not
17:03
Speaker 1: eating after Okay.
17:04
Speaker 2: So for someone who hears this and they're sitting there
17:07
Speaker 2: and they're like shaking their head and they're like, this
17:08
Speaker 2: just it's never going to be for me. I hear you,
17:10
Speaker 2: it could be great. What then, would be the secondary
17:14
Speaker 2: tip when it comes to a lifestyle change within your
17:17
Speaker 2: diet that can help you get a little bit healthier.
17:19
Speaker 1: Perfect So it's really just shifting to a mostly vegetable
17:23
Speaker 1: based diet, not even I'm not saying that you have
17:25
Speaker 1: to go the aggressive root and be vegan. I'm just
17:27
Speaker 1: saying that, you know, you should be trying to get
17:30
Speaker 1: eight to ten to twelve servings of vegetables a day.
17:33
Speaker 1: For me, it's about nutrient density. What is the most
17:35
Speaker 1: nutrient dense food that we can eat, and that's vegetables,
17:39
Speaker 1: you know, so if we're looking at the fundamentals of
17:41
Speaker 1: every single thing that is broken down that it's regenerating
17:44
Speaker 1: every cell in our body. You want the most nutrient
17:47
Speaker 1: dense food. You know, mostly in the morning people have eggs,
17:50
Speaker 1: they'll have bread with toast, all these cereals, bagels. You know,
17:56
Speaker 1: if you look at wheat in America, it's just strictly
17:59
Speaker 1: a pro inflammatory food. You know, we don't have these
18:03
Speaker 1: rich minerals that are now being absorbed into these wheat
18:05
Speaker 1: products because we're mass producing the soil and we're not
18:07
Speaker 1: allowing time for it to regenerate. So you're eating something
18:11
Speaker 1: that is just stimulating inflammation. It's going to make you fatigued,
18:15
Speaker 1: and it's going to slow down your whole morning. You know,
18:17
Speaker 1: if you eat something and you feel tired after, that's
18:20
Speaker 1: a problem because food should be giving you energy, it
18:22
Speaker 1: shouldn't be slowing you down. So most of the Americans
18:25
Speaker 1: diet is things that slow us down, and we wonder
18:28
Speaker 1: why we're so lethargic.
18:38
Speaker 2: Taking a break from today's episode to give some love
18:40
Speaker 2: to my friends at tracksmith A Tracksmith is a Boston
18:43
Speaker 2: based performance running brand dedicated to the community, style and
18:46
Speaker 2: culture of running. Putting on my Tracksmith gear makes me
18:50
Speaker 2: feel sleek. It makes me feel fast, and that might
18:54
Speaker 2: sound a little silly, but even the science shows that
18:56
Speaker 2: when you feel good, you can perform better. On top
19:00
Speaker 2: of just feeling good about my gear, I also feel
19:02
Speaker 2: good about partnering with Tracksmith because they have offered to
19:05

Speaker 2: their Allston shorts. I've been wearing them literally as much
19:54
Speaker 2: as possible. Basically, as soon as I wear them, it's
19:56
Speaker 2: like a signal to me that I need to do laundry.

20:14
Speaker 2: to do some good today. Basically, what I need is
20:25
Speaker 2: someone to make me an athletic greens infused croissant that
20:30
Speaker 2: gives me the anti accident equivalent of twelve servings of
20:34
Speaker 2: fruits and vegetables, but also feels like a croissant.
20:37
Speaker 1: Yes, that is what I'm looking at. That would be
20:39
Speaker 1: the trick. Listen, if say you like, you're like, I
20:42
Speaker 1: just want to do that a couple times a week
20:44
Speaker 1: where I have my croissant. It's it's just about minimizing
20:47
Speaker 1: if you do that every day, which I don't know
20:48
Speaker 1: your diet, No.
20:49
Speaker 2: I mean I definitely don't have a croisson every day,
20:51
Speaker 2: but I will say that I mean something like that, like,
20:53
Speaker 2: for example, me adding in athletic greens into my diet
20:56
Speaker 2: about three years ago. That changed everything for me in
20:59
Speaker 2: terms of energy levels, because I certainly was the kind
21:02
Speaker 2: of person who would do like maybe like my own
21:05
Speaker 2: version of like avocado toasts when I got home from
21:07
Speaker 2: my run or something that like definitely had like a
21:09
Speaker 2: carb heavy component to it, and found often that I
21:13
Speaker 2: was like sleepy by the time I got to my desk.
21:15
Speaker 2: Where when I added in the athletic greens, I mean,
21:17
Speaker 2: obviously it's very different to be consuming that versus sitting
21:20
Speaker 2: down with like an actual bowl of twelve different vegetables.
21:23
Speaker 1: But it's better.
21:23
Speaker 2: No, it's great. It's so great, And I mean it
21:25
Speaker 2: doesn't just have the vegetables, but then it also has
21:27
Speaker 2: all these other things that give me this like boost
21:30
Speaker 2: to feel like a better version of myself than I
21:32
Speaker 2: did when I was just consuming the almond croissant.
21:34
Speaker 1: And also eggs. Do you know that eggs in America
21:37
Speaker 1: are considered the most unhealthy animal product. It's chicken and
21:41
Speaker 1: America are so unhealthy at the moment, and these eggs
21:45
Speaker 1: are byproducts of the chicken.
21:47
Speaker 2: I'm so sad for the chickens.
21:48
Speaker 1: It's so sad. Do you know like the top five
21:51
Speaker 1: most pro inflammatory foods outside of obviously like fried and
21:54
Speaker 1: all the junk, it's gluten, dairy, soy, corn, and eggs.
21:59
Speaker 1: So we want to stick a stay away from anything
22:02
Speaker 1: that's inflammatory, right, anything that's inflammatory. You can't have pain
22:05
Speaker 1: or disease without inflammation. So if we're eating things that
22:09
Speaker 1: are causing systemic inflammation every meal, that's a problem. We
22:13
Speaker 1: want to be eating things that reverse that inflammation.
22:15
Speaker 2: So the next question that would come from someone who
22:18
Speaker 2: hears you talking about the importance of vegetables is and
22:20
Speaker 2: I mean, you did highlight that we don't need to
22:22
Speaker 2: like swing all the way to the left and go vegan.
22:24
Speaker 2: But then they come to you and they say, well,
22:26
Speaker 2: what about my proteins?
22:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, well this is the crazy thing. Though I consume
22:30
Speaker 1: maybe one tenth the amount of protein that I've ever had,
22:33
Speaker 1: and all of the protein, my blood markers are higher
22:35
Speaker 1: than they've ever been. So if you think about it,
22:37
Speaker 1: everyone's like, oh, we know we need all this protein.
22:40
Speaker 1: If you think back to our ancestry, if back with
22:43
Speaker 1: Caveman before anything, like what do you think the odds
22:46
Speaker 1: are of actually catching an animal? It's like, what even
22:49
Speaker 1: if you wanted to catch a squirrel, Like, think about
22:51
Speaker 1: the odds of you being able to hit it with
22:52
Speaker 1: a stick. It would be you're eating maybe leftover prey
22:56
Speaker 1: from other animals that attacked animals. We never lived off
23:00
Speaker 1: of animal products, you know. I think it was a
23:03
Speaker 1: hair in their situation. And also those animal products were
23:07
Speaker 1: a lot healthier back in the day. So now like
23:10
Speaker 1: I'll have an occasional piece of meat when it's not
23:12
Speaker 1: my option. So like say you cooked me dinner, Yeah,
23:15
Speaker 1: I would never be like, oh, you know I can't
23:17
Speaker 1: eat this, I would always just be respectful and be
23:19
Speaker 1: a part of it. Or culturally, while I travel, I'll
23:22
Speaker 1: always you know, indulge in whatever wherever I'm going, or
23:27
Speaker 1: if there's wild game. If there's a wild game on
23:29
Speaker 1: a menu, it's more likely less to be tampered with,
23:32
Speaker 1: so I'll give it a shot. Maybe having a piece
23:34
Speaker 1: of animal protein once a month, twice a month. Wow,
23:38
Speaker 1: And my protein levels are higher than ever been. And
23:40
Speaker 1: this is also the most muscle mass I've ever had
23:42
Speaker 1: in my body.
23:44
Speaker 2: But what do we attribute that to?
23:46
Speaker 1: It's decreasing inflammation and nutrient dense food.
23:49
Speaker 2: Hm hmm. Interesting Where do you get your proteins from?
23:53
Speaker 1: I mean mostly just some nuts.
23:56
Speaker 2: Nuts, Yeah, yeah.
23:58
Speaker 1: A lot of Uh yeah, it's not if you actually
24:02
Speaker 1: look at my diet, there's not too much protein. So
24:04
Speaker 1: I don't even add protein to my protein shakes.
24:06
Speaker 2: You're just like a superhuman really no.
24:08
Speaker 1: But it's the thing is like I've tested this out
24:10
Speaker 1: with six years now functional medicine patients, and I've drastically
24:14
Speaker 1: decreased their protein intake, and their protein levels have always
24:17
Speaker 1: been stable or if not better. It's the most strange thing. Yeah,
24:21
Speaker 1: but you have to also think is like if you're
24:23
Speaker 1: eating something that is toxic and your body is you know,
24:26
Speaker 1: seeing like these hormones, like everything that we put in
24:29
Speaker 1: our into our meat, our body has to try to
24:32
Speaker 1: digest that. If it doesn't respond well to that and
24:34
Speaker 1: it just flushing flushes it out, you're not absorbing that
24:36
Speaker 1: protein anyways. It's like people when they take their protein shake,
24:39
Speaker 1: you know, they're putting fifty grams of protein in there.
24:42
Speaker 1: Little do they know that they might be absorbing twenty
24:44
Speaker 1: or thirty percent of that. So and your body is
24:47
Speaker 1: actually stressed because it doesn't even recognize it because it's
24:50
Speaker 1: a foreign invader, because it's not even real half the time.
24:52
Speaker 1: Same thing with most of our you know, vitamins, which
24:54
Speaker 1: is crazy, crazy because we're paying people are paying. Like
24:58
Speaker 1: this is what my biggest dilemma is that a lot
25:00
Speaker 1: of people now are trying and they're going and spending
25:04
Speaker 1: money on all of these products and it's really junk,
25:08
Speaker 1: you know, And it scares me because it's more now
25:10
Speaker 1: about who's better branding and who's better marketing and who
25:12
Speaker 1: has more money to push it. Verse is this product
25:15
Speaker 1: actually amazing?
25:17
Speaker 2: Yeah for sure, So for anyone listening to this, who
25:19
Speaker 2: is interested in taking this approach. I will say this,
25:22
Speaker 2: make sure you consult with a physician or at the
25:25
Speaker 2: very least to go get some blood work done. Talk
25:27
Speaker 2: to someone who knows what they're talking about. You can
25:29
Speaker 2: best advise you on how you may want to modify
25:32
Speaker 2: your diet.
25:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's where functional medicine comes in, right, Because
25:34
Speaker 1: functional medicine, if you do have the means to do it,
25:37
Speaker 1: because it's not covered under insurance, we can get a
25:39
Speaker 1: full blueprint of everything going on in the body. Let's
25:42
Speaker 1: look at every system, every organ, every toxicity level, sensitivity deficiency.
25:47
Speaker 1: And the key is if it's about working smarter and harder,
25:49
Speaker 1: this is where you can make subtle little changes just
25:51
Speaker 1: to balance out all these markers in the blood and
25:55
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden everything's better.
25:56
Speaker 2: I literally just got blood work done recently, like last month,
26:00
Speaker 2: and I have a call on Monday to understand like
26:02
Speaker 2: what it all means.
26:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm amped. Yeah, it's amazing.
26:05
Speaker 2: Amped.
26:06
Speaker 1: What do you know what you did? Is it just
26:08
Speaker 1: traditional like I did diagnostic bloodwork or fresh messine?
26:11
Speaker 2: I'm trying inside tracker. Okay, So I've never I've heard
26:14
Speaker 2: about it, Like, I'm sure many people listening to the
26:16
Speaker 2: show have heard about it on podcasts. I heard about
26:18
Speaker 2: it on a podcast. I was talking with the team there,
26:21
Speaker 2: and I was like, well, I've got to learn about
26:23
Speaker 2: this before I even think about talking about it. So
26:26
Speaker 2: here I am, and I'm going to learn. So if
26:28
Speaker 2: eventually you guys hear about Inside Tracker and a larger
26:30
Speaker 2: capacity on the show, it's because I really learned something
26:33
Speaker 2: about it, and I think it's pretty awesome.
26:35
Speaker 1: It's amazing. Yeah, So like imagine, I mean, this is
26:38
Speaker 1: just all functional medicine. It's like you can look into
26:41
Speaker 1: anything in your body now you do not have to guess.
26:43
Speaker 1: It's crazy, you know, especially when we're looking at like
26:45
Speaker 1: anything you're ingestings either fueling or fighting disease. You have
26:48
Speaker 1: to actually think about that. And if you are able
26:52
Speaker 1: to know what is causing problems and what is fixing
26:55
Speaker 1: things and you can monitor that, you're you're setting yourself
26:59
Speaker 1: up first success.
27:00
Speaker 2: This is just crazy. It's crazy to think about that.
27:02
Speaker 2: What you just said, like anything you are consuming is
27:04
Speaker 2: either fueling or fighting disease. So then like I stop
27:07
Speaker 2: and I do like a moment of personal inventory, and
27:09
Speaker 2: I think about like all the things that I've eaten
27:10
Speaker 2: over the last like seventy two hours, and I'm like, wow,
27:12
Speaker 2: am I just fueling disease in my body?
27:16
Speaker 1: But that's the thing is, like we all have cancer genes,
27:17
Speaker 1: we all have all these things in our body. It's
27:19
Speaker 1: are you turning it on? Are you turning it off?
27:21
Speaker 1: And people also don't remember, like forget that your skin
27:24
Speaker 1: is your biggest organ so what you put on your
27:26
Speaker 1: body is also being absorbed. So it's it's not even
27:29
Speaker 1: what we consume, it's about what we're absorbing and consuming.
27:33
Speaker 2: Someone flagged me the other day that and I don't
27:35
Speaker 2: even I want to be able to do this justice
27:37
Speaker 2: or remember exactly what it is. But basically there was
27:39
Speaker 2: a reason for me to worry about using copper tone skunscreen. Yeah,
27:42
Speaker 2: I get I get unslicited almost day.
27:45
Speaker 1: So like people don't also realize this. You know, we've
27:47
Speaker 1: been told our whole lives put on sunscreen. Yeah literally
27:50
Speaker 1: we know all the ones that I use as a
27:51
Speaker 1: child are full of carcinogens. Yeah, so you're putting something
27:54
Speaker 1: that's carcinogenic on your skin to roast in the sun.
27:56
Speaker 2: What's good sunscreen? Do you know?
27:58
Speaker 1: You know there's one it's one Salt and Stone, okay
28:01
Speaker 1: that I just started using that is fully chemical free.
28:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is not paid. Look at us doing the
28:08
Speaker 2: marketing here.
28:09
Speaker 1: I don't.
28:10
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do some research.
28:12
Speaker 1: But you that's the goal, Like, look for a chemical free,
28:16
Speaker 1: safe sunscreen. We want to use it, but for me,
28:19
Speaker 1: I would rather not use it than put a carcinogenic
28:22
Speaker 1: cream to go in the sun.
28:23
Speaker 2: Totally.
28:24
Speaker 1: You know, we always want to be safe. We want
28:26
Speaker 1: to be safe, but it is kind of scary, you know,
28:28
Speaker 1: Like especially like as a kid, you're just putting this
28:31
Speaker 1: stuff all over your body every day.
28:33
Speaker 2: Up to us to get more educated. Yeah, so we're educating, okay.
28:36
Speaker 2: And then I mean we talked about what we're in taking.
28:39
Speaker 2: We talked about food, food, we talked about we talked
28:41
Speaker 2: about food, we talked about hydration. Let's talk about movement. Yeah,
28:44
Speaker 2: the way that every single person moves is always going
28:47
Speaker 2: to be different. What feels right for you isn't going
28:49
Speaker 2: to be the right thing for your neighbor, isn't going
28:51
Speaker 2: to be the right thing for your boss, your mom,
28:52
Speaker 2: your sister, your aunt, whoever. But there are probably a
28:56
Speaker 2: couple rules of thumb that we can advise when it
28:59
Speaker 2: comes to just getting that one percent healthier.
29:01
Speaker 1: Where do we start movement cures. It's really this simple,
29:06
Speaker 1: what your workout, whatever you're doing for your exercises should
29:09
Speaker 1: fix the body and not break it. We have an
29:12
Speaker 1: industry that is ninety percent now pushing the limits. They
29:16
Speaker 1: just want to, you know, like how much can we
29:18
Speaker 1: make them sweat? How much can we keep their heart
29:20
Speaker 1: rate up? And like it's just about intensity or no pain,
29:23
Speaker 1: no gain. You don't need to be strong and powerful.
29:26
Speaker 1: We need to be functional and pain free. If you're
29:28
Speaker 1: not an athlete, you should not be pushing the boundaries
29:31
Speaker 1: because if you're pushing the boundaries to a extent that
29:35
Speaker 1: you're more injury prone. What adult needs to be more
29:40
Speaker 1: risk to get injured? Everyone's in pain outside of the
29:43
Speaker 1: common cold. The second most common reason why people miswork
29:46
Speaker 1: is low back pain. And then they go because they
29:48
Speaker 1: were seated all day at a desk, and then they
29:49
Speaker 1: go to a spin class and they're seated on a
29:52
Speaker 1: spin class, hunched over just the same way they are
29:54
Speaker 1: at their desk, and they wonder why they have neck
29:55
Speaker 1: and back pain. It's like, we obviously want people to
29:59
Speaker 1: move right any movements, but well, I won't want to
30:02
Speaker 1: say any movement, but most movement is better than no movement.
30:05
Speaker 1: But if you're going to move, make sure that we're
30:08
Speaker 1: shifting to what your body needs. Like when I'm looking
30:10
Speaker 1: at somebody, we want to look at their weaknesses, their
30:12
Speaker 1: stability and mobility problems, not how strong do I need
30:16
Speaker 1: to get this person? How someone looks and feels all
30:19
Speaker 1: their diet right, but what they do for their workout
30:22
Speaker 1: needs to make them functional and pain free.
30:24
Speaker 2: So what do we say? I feel like this next
30:27
Speaker 2: question is kind of multifaceted. The first component is for
30:30
Speaker 2: the person that has a certain type of workout that
30:32
Speaker 2: they just can't imagine their life without. That is kind
30:34
Speaker 2: of to the level that you're describing, which is like
30:36
Speaker 2: really pushing the limits. Whether it be someone who is
30:39
Speaker 2: training for a marathon or someone who really really loves
30:42
Speaker 2: like doing something like CrossFit or weightlifting, Like, what do
30:45
Speaker 2: you say to that person?
30:46
Speaker 1: They have to do more recovery, you know, like micro
30:49
Speaker 1: athletes train forty percent of the time, they recover sixty
30:51
Speaker 1: If you're going to go and beat the shit out
30:53
Speaker 1: of your body, who's manually adjusting you, who's giving massages.
30:57
Speaker 1: What are you doing that is actually reverse seeing the
31:00
Speaker 1: stress that you put on your body, because working out's
31:02
Speaker 1: a good stress, but it's still a stress, so we
31:05
Speaker 1: need to find ways to counteract it. So many times
31:07
Speaker 1: we push the limits and they're like, why am I
31:10
Speaker 1: hitting these plateaus? Why do I see these results? And
31:12
Speaker 1: like you're training too hard and you're not offsetting that stress,
31:16
Speaker 1: you know, And if you look at it, it's like
31:19
Speaker 1: flex if movement cures, that means the flexibility is our
31:22
Speaker 1: most important thing. Right. Most people can't even touch their
31:24
Speaker 1: toes once again, and then they're like, why do I
31:26
Speaker 1: have low backman? I'm like, you can't touch your toes?
31:29
Speaker 1: Of course you're in not low backman, you know. So
31:31
Speaker 1: like that's that's key flexibility, right, And so yeah, as
31:35
Speaker 1: we get older, it's it's harder and harder to become
31:37
Speaker 1: more like multiple, you know, Like it's it's so it's
31:41
Speaker 1: so difficult, and everyone hates it because it's so uncomfortable
31:44
Speaker 1: because they're so tight, right.
31:46
Speaker 2: And so I think the second aspect of this question
31:49
Speaker 2: is for the person that doesn't exactly know where to
31:53
Speaker 2: start when it comes to integrating more recovery, more mobility,
31:56
Speaker 2: into their routine. I think a barrier to entry. For
31:59
Speaker 2: some be like, well, I don't have money to spend
32:01
Speaker 2: on this.
32:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, so here's the thing. So I would say, all right,
32:04
Speaker 1: your workouts if if you're going to do a specific
32:08
Speaker 1: type of workout, I would focus more on plates or
32:12
Speaker 1: focus on this in the gym. And this is the
32:13
Speaker 1: same philosophy as pilates. But if everything on the front
32:16
Speaker 1: of our body is tight and it's pulling us forward
32:20
Speaker 1: because of our posture, our whole entire workout should be
32:24
Speaker 1: focusing on the back side of our body. Strengthen everything
32:27
Speaker 1: on the back side of your body. That is going
32:30
Speaker 1: to make you stand more erect. It's going to balance
32:32
Speaker 1: out you being pulled forward in the front. It's going
32:34
Speaker 1: to make you less injury prone, less likely to have
32:36
Speaker 1: neck or back pain. You know, your glutes support your
32:39
Speaker 1: low back, So glutes need to be able to fire
32:42
Speaker 1: and they need to be strong. People think core, they're
32:45
Speaker 1: thinking abs. Your low back is more important than your abs.
32:49
Speaker 1: So what are you doing strengthen your low back for
32:51
Speaker 1: it's just pulling yourself more and more forward. For guys
32:53
Speaker 1: or like everyone, they're doing pushups and burpies. Our shoulders
32:57
Speaker 1: are already internally rotated and forward. Why are we going
32:59
Speaker 1: to do that? Are going to pu ust more forward?
33:01
Speaker 1: You know, strengthen the back. So easy rule because anyone
33:05
Speaker 1: can google or YouTube exercises for every body part. Focus
33:09
Speaker 1: on strengthening every muscle on the backside of your body
33:12
Speaker 1: at least a two to one ratio from everything in
33:14
Speaker 1: the front. If most people want to fix most of
33:17
Speaker 1: their problems, I would say, take like three or four
33:19
Speaker 1: months off from doing any strength training on the antier,
33:23
Speaker 1: the front side of the body, and just focus on
33:25
Speaker 1: the back and then work on flexibility and mobility on
33:28
Speaker 1: the front. Guarantee any ache, pain or titness will be
33:32
Speaker 1: much better because it's about offsetting the imbalance.
33:35
Speaker 2: Right right, Well again, word of caution, make sure you
33:38
Speaker 2: talk to someone where you are to take a look
33:41
Speaker 2: at your body because everyone's different, and you know, this
33:44
Speaker 2: is really excellent advice, and like I'm sitting here like
33:47
Speaker 2: completely reevaluating my entire workout routine and my entire life
33:50
Speaker 2: to be honest with you, but I don't want you know,
33:52
Speaker 2: this is not like one size fits all advice, So
33:55
Speaker 2: definitely make sure that you're talking to someone and have
33:57
Speaker 2: someone look at like your posture, what you're going on
33:59
Speaker 2: with your bossy, because especially like if you're worried about
34:02
Speaker 2: like the financial output that will come hand in hand
34:05
Speaker 2: with some of these holistic treatments, or like working one
34:08
Speaker 2: on one regularly with a personal trainer, Like there's nothing
34:11
Speaker 2: bad that will come from going to a consultation to
34:14
Speaker 2: talk to someone about what your options could be.
34:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, and just make sure too, like I think that
34:19
Speaker 1: a personal trainer should have as much education as a
34:21
Speaker 1: physical therapist. Yeah, because, like I said, if movement cures
34:26
Speaker 1: and you're doing things wrong, like, I can't tell you
34:28
Speaker 1: how much I see you know, you know, people go
34:31
Speaker 1: to their trainer because they look good, but doesn't mean
34:33
Speaker 1: they always know what they're doing.
34:35
Speaker 2: Amen.
34:35
Speaker 1: And that's a scary thing. Yeah, because we live in LA.
34:38
Speaker 1: Most of the trainers this isn't their profession. It's that
34:41
Speaker 1: they're an actor or model and this is what they
34:43
Speaker 1: do on the side, which anyone can make you sweat,
34:46
Speaker 1: anyone can motivate you, which are both important. But most
34:50
Speaker 1: people are also in pain, right, So I don't I
34:53
Speaker 1: can't tell you enough how many patients come to me
34:56
Speaker 1: that are in pain that and it's their workouts, they're
34:58
Speaker 1: actually making things worse. Yeah, you know, so just make
35:00
Speaker 1: sure that we talk like, do your research, listen to
35:03
Speaker 1: people that know about the body, because it's so important.
35:07
Speaker 2: So important, so important. Okay, so we've covered a hell
35:09
Speaker 2: of a lot of bases here before I let you go.
35:12
Speaker 2: Is there any other big hack that we need?
35:15
Speaker 1: The biggest one that bring me?
35:16
Speaker 2: The biggest hack there?
35:17
Speaker 1: It is the biggest.
35:18
Speaker 2: Heck, I know what it's going to be.
35:20
Speaker 1: What is it?
35:20
Speaker 2: It's sleep?
35:21
Speaker 1: No, sleep is so important. But but that's not a hack.
35:25
Speaker 1: We know that we should sleep. If I tell you
35:26
Speaker 1: how to sleep, that woud be a hack.
35:28
Speaker 2: Breath work, Oh I haven't. I have some episodes on this.
35:32
Speaker 1: I feel is the most powerful tool human beings could
35:36
Speaker 1: do the most powerful thing, and it costs zero dollars.
35:42
Speaker 2: We are so in La right now, No.
35:44
Speaker 1: You say this, but now, like I move I'm from
35:46
Speaker 1: the East Coast. When I moved to La, I'm like,
35:48
Speaker 1: these people are crazy energy, the all these holistic and
35:51
Speaker 1: now I actually see the signs in it. Do you
35:54
Speaker 1: know everyone breathes their mouth all day?
35:57
Speaker 2: Right?
35:58
Speaker 1: You know? Do you know if you just breathe through
36:00
Speaker 1: your nose, you get twenty percent more oxygen to your body.
36:04
Speaker 2: I've heard this before.
36:05
Speaker 1: Twenty percent more oxygen your body by breathing through your nose.
36:08
Speaker 2: I heard that's why you're supposed to breathe through your
36:09
Speaker 2: nose when you run. Yes, your muscles really need more oxygen.
36:12
Speaker 1: But after a certain exertion point, you should breathe through
36:17
Speaker 1: your mouth with God. But the goal would be to
36:19
Speaker 1: train to learn how much can you push the body
36:22
Speaker 1: while breathing thro the nose. That's why people sleep. Have
36:23
Speaker 1: you ever seen mouth tape to sleep at night?
36:25
Speaker 2: Yeah?
36:26
Speaker 1: I have, yes, because it's given you more oxygen to
36:28
Speaker 1: your entire body and you'll sleep better. But here's the
36:31
Speaker 1: thing I don't care with. Once again, always consult with
36:35
Speaker 1: your physician. But I can't tell you enough. If you
36:40
Speaker 1: can put a simple breathwork routine into your daily regimen
36:45
Speaker 1: anxiety depression, especially for me, like a type A personality,
36:50
Speaker 1: go go go all the time. If you told me
36:52
Speaker 1: to meditate five years ago'll be like, I can sit
36:54
Speaker 1: and try, but there's no way in hell that I
36:55
Speaker 1: can sit still. Breath work shifts your mind like intense
37:00
Speaker 1: breath work if we shift, okay, outside of nasal breathing.
37:03
Speaker 1: I can give you a three step process. Put a
37:06
Speaker 1: time on your phone for ten minutes. Breathe in through
37:09
Speaker 1: your stomach, a two part breath in so stomach chest.
37:13
Speaker 1: So do that intensely for five to ten minutes. Your
37:20
Speaker 1: body will stop tingling, You'll start you can even start
37:24
Speaker 1: losing control of your body. Your body will start cramping up,
37:26
Speaker 1: and it shifts this conscious brain that we're into, this
37:30
Speaker 1: subconscious brain. I know this sounds crazy, but I promise you,
37:33
Speaker 1: for ten minutes do this three step breath. See what happens.
37:37
Speaker 1: You might start crying, you might start like it's just
37:40
Speaker 1: the visuals that you see. It is so insane because
37:44
Speaker 1: all the stress in our environments disregulating the chemicals in
37:48
Speaker 1: our brain. This is one of the fastest ways to
37:50
Speaker 1: regulate these hormonal imbalances, these chemical imbalances in the brain.
37:55
Speaker 1: And even with anxiety, everyone's anxious. Now if you just
37:59
Speaker 1: learned simple breathwork techniques. I know it sounds so crazy.
38:03
Speaker 2: I'm just thinking, you know what I'm thinking about. I
38:07
Speaker 2: already have a hard enough time finding a partner. This guy,
38:12
Speaker 2: I'm gonna finally gn win someone that like we should
38:15
Speaker 2: obviously be together and he's gonna like, spend the night
38:18
Speaker 2: of my apartment and I'm gonna wake up the next
38:20
Speaker 2: day I'm living grow making these weird noises.
38:25
Speaker 1: She's gonna be like, yep, No, what you're gonna do
38:28
Speaker 1: is you're gonna wake him up and make him do
38:29
Speaker 1: it with you. Oh my gosh, for five to ten minutes.
38:31
Speaker 1: He's gonna be like, what the hell do you just
38:33
Speaker 1: do to me? This might have changed my life.
38:35
Speaker 2: You are welcome. If he didn't know it the night
38:37
Speaker 2: before when he met me, he would be like, I
38:39
Speaker 2: am sold coming every morning.
38:41
Speaker 1: We've done an intense breathwork class.
38:43
Speaker 2: Yes, I've done an intense breathwork class and what's happened? No,
38:45
Speaker 2: Like it's great. I'm not anti team breathwork. Yeah, I'm
38:49
Speaker 2: just imagining. I'm hearing what you said about You know,
38:52
Speaker 2: I never could meditate. I was always super anxious and
38:54
Speaker 2: I'm totally that way, and I totally understand the benefits
38:57
Speaker 2: because I've done it before, but I have never made
38:59
Speaker 2: it a right, regular routine staple. So now I'm just
39:03
Speaker 2: thinking about my life, like implementing this regular breathwork routine
39:06
Speaker 2: staple and just how it would play out. But you
39:08
Speaker 2: know what. The good news is, I don't have someone
39:11
Speaker 2: that's staying over every night right now, so we don't
39:14
Speaker 2: have to worry about how plenty of fractation that happens
39:16
Speaker 2: in my personal life. Wow. Okay, so breathwork the final hack.
39:20
Speaker 1: You could actually have full psychedelic trips with certain like
39:24
Speaker 1: what you can do? It's insane, but yes, everyone look
39:27
Speaker 1: it up. I know it might sound crazy. If I
39:29
Speaker 1: heard you say that the first time, I was like,
39:31
Speaker 1: what the hell am I doing? Every friend I bring
39:33
Speaker 1: to a breath work class of like what is this, John,
39:35
Speaker 1: what are you dragging me to? And they're like, oh
39:37
Speaker 1: my god by the end of it. Yeah, and it
39:39
Speaker 1: costs nothing, free, free, free, Nick. That's simple. Water, breath
39:43
Speaker 1: and move.
39:44
Speaker 2: And don't forget to the eating window. The eating window. Wow,
39:49
Speaker 2: thank you so much, very welcome, so appreciative of you.
