Latest / The You Project / #2145 Mark From Brisbane Asks... - Dr. Jeff Gross
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I get a team. It's Tiff and it's Harps and
- 0:02Speaker 1: it's doctor Jeff. I probably should have.
- 0:04Speaker 2: Done that the other way around. It really doesn't matter.
- 0:07Speaker 1: We'll start with the girl with a sexy throat over
- 0:10Speaker 1: there in the bloody bayside Melbourne.
- 0:15Speaker 2: How is it sexy voice?
- 0:17Speaker 3: I'm making some noise now, which is nice. So I
- 0:19Speaker 3: had two days of full silence, and.
- 0:22Speaker 1: As I said to doctor Jeff Bliss, so good, so
- 0:27Speaker 1: good fortnight there. Yeah, it's a little hard when your
- 0:32Speaker 1: job's talking.
- 0:33Speaker 2: And you can't talk.
- 0:34Speaker 1: Oh horrific.
- 0:35Speaker 2: Did you have to cancel shows or yeah?
- 0:38Speaker 3: I had to reschedule a couple and couldn't shout at
- 0:42Speaker 3: my clients.
- 0:44Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 0:44Speaker 1: Well, it's hard to be a ball breaker when you
- 0:47Speaker 1: sound like a fucking cartoon character, isn't it exactly?
- 0:51Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 0:52Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't scream at people if you can't talk
- 0:54Speaker 1: to them. Step one, be able to talk. Ah, Doc,
- 1:00Speaker 1: great to see you, We love you, appreciate you.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Hey you going? What are you doing? What are you
- 1:06Speaker 2: up to? What's news?
- 1:07Speaker 4: Right back at you? What am I up to? We're busy.
- 1:11Speaker 4: Were doing a lot of health and wellness events and
- 1:13Speaker 4: biohacking conferences and all kinds of fun stuff. It's hard.
- 1:18Speaker 4: It's hard to keep me in one place here as
- 1:21Speaker 4: we as we share and teach and get the word
- 1:25Speaker 4: out that there are alternatives to drugs and surgery.
- 1:30Speaker 1: What is the thing that people misunderstand or get misled
- 1:36Speaker 1: on about.
- 1:39Speaker 2: Biohacking?
- 1:40Speaker 1: Like? What what is the average In Australia we say
- 1:44Speaker 1: the average punter, just the average person.
- 1:47Speaker 2: What do I think it is?
- 1:50Speaker 4: I think there are some people who think that biohacking
- 1:53Speaker 4: has a negative connotation because you're tricking your body. It's
- 1:57Speaker 4: a hack. It's a trick. Whereas if we call it biostrategizing,
- 2:02Speaker 4: it's just weak, too many syllables.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true, though it is it is a lot. Yeah,
- 2:10Speaker 1: maybe that whoever created that, albeit insightful, maybe it wasn't
- 2:16Speaker 1: the best name to represent what you do because it
- 2:20Speaker 1: already people have an idea of what hacking is, and
- 2:22Speaker 1: it's not a good idea generally.
- 2:26Speaker 4: Right, gets people in trouble, you know if they hack
- 2:30Speaker 4: into your computer system or whatever. But sometimes hacks so
- 2:35Speaker 4: I mean, you know, do it yourself hacks at home? Right,
- 2:38Speaker 4: you want to learn the best way to get rust
- 2:41Speaker 4: off your fender, you know, you may, yeah, you learn
- 2:44Speaker 4: a hack. So why can't we apply that for wellness
- 2:48Speaker 4: and longevity?
- 2:50Speaker 1: Now, I brought up this term the other day with
- 2:52Speaker 1: somebody who is a clinical cycle works in the space,
- 2:58Speaker 1: and it must just be what I'm exposed to on
- 3:01Speaker 1: my my kind of stream of information that comes into
- 3:05Speaker 1: my phone.
- 3:05Speaker 2: But have you heard of a thing called iber gain?
- 3:08Speaker 4: Oh? Yes, absolutely, in fact, thank you God, it was
- 3:13Speaker 4: just made available here in the US, I think yesterday,
- 3:17Speaker 4: Like this is very tamely.
- 3:20Speaker 1: Yeah, So I think all that guy's named Brian, someone
- 3:24Speaker 1: who's been the guy leading the charge, who's a lawyer
- 3:28Speaker 1: and a genius in this space. And RFK of course
- 3:31Speaker 1: and a very popular and unpopular in some areas.
- 3:36Speaker 2: Joe Rogan and they were they were in the.
- 3:39Speaker 1: Oval office with the pres just and he was committing
- 3:43Speaker 1: to kind of, I think, accelerate the research.
- 3:48Speaker 2: And the approval and all of that of that.
- 3:51Speaker 1: So could So my understanding is, and this wasn't where
- 3:54Speaker 1: I thought.
- 3:55Speaker 2: We'd start, but let's start here because.
- 3:58Speaker 1: I think if this is true, you know, because everybody
- 4:01Speaker 1: comes out and makes there's so many claims about so
- 4:03Speaker 1: many secret pills, powders, potion, herbs from the amazon and peptides,
- 4:10Speaker 1: and I'm not putting them all in the same category,
- 4:12Speaker 1: of course, but there are so many things that we
- 4:14Speaker 1: get told we should have or will cure this or
- 4:17Speaker 1: fix that. But the science behind this seems like really
- 4:22Speaker 1: really solid. And so people suffering with PTSD severe trauma,
- 4:30Speaker 1: and originally the research was focused on veterans and it's
- 4:34Speaker 1: kind of expanded now, but anyone with that kind of
- 4:37Speaker 1: challenge or issue.
- 4:38Speaker 2: But so people with.
- 4:40Speaker 1: Severe trauma and PTSD one treatment with eber gain eighty
- 4:46Speaker 1: percent are completely healed forever. And with a second treatment
- 4:51Speaker 1: over ninety I think it's ninety four percent, and it's
- 4:55Speaker 1: not And there's one treatment, so they have it once
- 4:58Speaker 1: or twice, but not an ongoing thing they have they
- 5:02Speaker 1: don't need to go top it up in a year.
- 5:05Speaker 1: There's another guy to follow, a veteran who God it
- 5:10Speaker 1: will come to me, but anyway, he he's a Purple
- 5:13Speaker 1: Star recipient. Anyway, you know, he was traumatized. He was
- 5:19Speaker 1: the whole shooting match about our post war. About ten
- 5:23Speaker 1: years of his life was pretty fucked because of trauma
- 5:27Speaker 1: and PTSD. He got treated, he got totally totally cured,
- 5:32Speaker 1: and now he re enrolled he re enrolled, so he
- 5:36Speaker 1: was a I think he was like a Delta Force
- 5:39Speaker 1: operator and now he's re enrolled in some other area
- 5:43Speaker 1: of the military. But yeah, it's I don't know, tell
- 5:47Speaker 1: us to what you know what it is and how
- 5:50Speaker 1: it works.
- 5:52Speaker 4: Right, So, iber gin is part of a class of
- 5:55Speaker 4: natural based neuromodulator neuro endocrine neurotransmitter changers that are typically
- 6:07Speaker 4: known as hallucinogens. So it could be Ayahuascu. Eyebogain is one.
- 6:12Speaker 4: There are a few others, and they all have a
- 6:14Speaker 4: slightly different impact. You know, some of the places where
- 6:19Speaker 4: you go and lick the certain kind of toad and
- 6:23Speaker 4: get the hallucinogen. In any event, these these have been
- 6:27Speaker 4: known for thousands of years to have healing properties. You
- 6:33Speaker 4: typically most people with some type of harbored trauma manifest
- 6:38Speaker 4: with some type of anxiety or depression. It's because there's
- 6:43Speaker 4: this deep rooted part of your memory in your brain
- 6:47Speaker 4: that protects that because it's too painful to let it out.
- 6:52Speaker 4: And the process, the ceremony of eyebogain and how it's
- 6:58Speaker 4: done allows you to go through and and cleanse that
- 7:04Speaker 4: out of you. It's like a safe place to let
- 7:06Speaker 4: it out and once it's out, it's out. Like you said,
- 7:09Speaker 4: of those people are resolved. So you know, typically Americans
- 7:13Speaker 4: had to go to out of the country, you know,
- 7:17Speaker 4: go to Mexico for Abo Gain or or other places.
- 7:20Speaker 4: Even though there were some quote unquote shamans, some shamans
- 7:26Speaker 4: know what they're doing. Some got a weekend certificate somewhere.
- 7:30Speaker 4: And this allows you to, you know, face your demons
- 7:36Speaker 4: and remove them. And that really has been very powerful.
- 7:40Speaker 4: And there have been some people that were outspoken on this.
- 7:44Speaker 4: I think Tim Ferriss is one of them. And you know,
- 7:48Speaker 4: I didn't know how much Joe Rogan was involved until
- 7:51Speaker 4: recently because he's kind of the he's kind of the
- 7:54Speaker 4: Craig Harper of the of the of the States really.
- 7:58Speaker 2: But yeah, he can only aspire.
- 8:01Speaker 4: Yeah, and this just came out, so it's very interesting
- 8:06Speaker 4: and exciting. It will become available and they'll study it more.
- 8:11Speaker 4: Even though there's a university here called Johns Hopkins in
- 8:14Speaker 4: Baltimore and Maryland has a rich medical history. Just Baltimore's
- 8:19Speaker 4: a rough place to watch out and they they've been
- 8:23Speaker 4: looking at this for a while. It's been one of
- 8:25Speaker 4: the homes of a lot of research so this isn't new,
- 8:28Speaker 4: but I'm glad they're making it available because it's a
- 8:31Speaker 4: lot cheaper than handfuls of antidepressants and electroshock therapy much.
- 8:37Speaker 4: You like that kind of thing.
- 8:39Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well it's interesting and it's interesting to.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Know that, you know, some of the things which I
- 8:49Speaker 1: think Rogan said in that he spoke at the White
- 8:53Speaker 1: House and all of them did, but like only a
- 8:56Speaker 1: few years ago, it was classified literally as dangerous you know,
- 9:02Speaker 1: I begain and misclassified.
- 9:05Speaker 4: Yeah, and it was this is just government control, right.
- 9:09Speaker 4: They didn't want it out there. Big farm doesn't want it.
- 9:12Speaker 2: Out Yeah, that's yeah. Anyway.
- 9:16Speaker 1: And in other news, so I listened to this podcast
- 9:20Speaker 1: the other day, which I've banged on about a little
- 9:22Speaker 1: bit on the show, but I'm I'm really interested in
- 9:26Speaker 1: and we'll go to some listener questions in a minute,
- 9:28Speaker 1: but I'm really interested in on the science and the
- 9:35Speaker 1: psychology of pain. Like I just think pain is a
- 9:39Speaker 1: fascinating thing. And listening to this what's her name, Her
- 9:43Speaker 1: name is Rachel's Zoftness. It's a weird name, but a
- 9:47Speaker 1: cute name, z Ffness. And she was talking about, you
- 9:52Speaker 1: know the way that pain works on psychosocial, emotional, mental,
- 9:58Speaker 1: physiological level and all of that, and she was it's
- 10:02Speaker 1: just there's so much we seem to not understand about pain.
- 10:06Speaker 1: And she spoke about some research I can't equal. I
- 10:10Speaker 1: can't remember that an equals I think it was maybe
- 10:12Speaker 1: N equals.
- 10:13Speaker 2: One hundred or two hundred.
- 10:14Speaker 1: But people that were functional, healthy, no symptoms, and they
- 10:20Speaker 1: are all, I don't know, kind of thirty to sixty
- 10:23Speaker 1: or something, and they did X rays and all kinds
- 10:28Speaker 1: of scans on them, and something like ninety percent of
- 10:32Speaker 1: them or eighty five percent of them had bulging disks
- 10:36Speaker 1: or back problems or all of these things that should
- 10:39Speaker 1: lead to as we normally think pain, but they are
- 10:44Speaker 1: all pain free. But because they didn't know they had
- 10:47Speaker 1: these things. And then quite often when people are made
- 10:51Speaker 1: aware of something, then the pain comes, you know, because
- 10:54Speaker 1: now they know they have this thing that should cause pain,
- 10:57Speaker 1: but before they knew that, there was no part.
- 11:00Speaker 2: So stuff like that fascinates me.
- 11:03Speaker 1: And people who think they've got something and they're sick,
- 11:06Speaker 1: but then they realized they don't have it.
- 11:08Speaker 2: I won't bore my.
- 11:09Speaker 1: Audience with this again, but just quickly, this guy that
- 11:12Speaker 1: seemingly had put this huge nail on a construction site
- 11:17Speaker 1: through his foot and boot was in agony, and they
- 11:21Speaker 1: treated with him all kind of treated him with all
- 11:23Speaker 1: kinds of painkillers, got him to hospital, and when they
- 11:27Speaker 1: finally cut the boot off, it hadn't gone through his
- 11:30Speaker 1: foot at all. It had gone between his big toe
- 11:32Speaker 1: and his second toe, so the skin wasn't even broken.
- 11:36Speaker 1: But this guy was in extreme agony, and even when
- 11:39Speaker 1: they gave him the painkillers it didn't And then you think,
- 11:42Speaker 1: how the fuck does this work? And then instant relief
- 11:46Speaker 1: because they went, mate, You've got not only did it
- 11:48Speaker 1: not go through your foot, you don't have any injury
- 11:51Speaker 1: at all. And he's like okay and good, Like how crazy?
- 11:58Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on the science of pain or
- 12:01Speaker 1: what do you as a physician and an observer of
- 12:04Speaker 1: human behavior?
- 12:05Speaker 2: What do you know about it?
- 12:07Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean there's there's a lot. It's complex or
- 12:10Speaker 4: so many pieces good to psychological piece you just mentioned,
- 12:13Speaker 4: and you know things things you're imprinted with as a child.
- 12:17Speaker 4: Maybe you watch others respond to pain, and then maybe
- 12:22Speaker 4: that guy with the boot, he thought I was yeah,
- 12:26Speaker 4: I probably penetrated my foot. I should have pain, So
- 12:29Speaker 4: I'm going to react like like society expects until he's
- 12:35Speaker 4: is cognitively corrected, you know. But we see real pain too,
- 12:38Speaker 4: and pains in different forms, and you know, central pain
- 12:42Speaker 4: and neurological pain and all kinds of things. So you know,
- 12:47Speaker 4: we're learning more about pain all the time and how
- 12:49Speaker 4: to address it. But there's a lot of physical pain
- 12:51Speaker 4: that's you know, a lot of my job deals with
- 12:53Speaker 4: physical pain and how to treat that. And you know,
- 12:58Speaker 4: we always try to get to the root cause of it. Right,
- 13:00Speaker 4: if there's if the tiger has a thorn in his paw,
- 13:03Speaker 4: you got to pull out the thorn, yes, if, But
- 13:07Speaker 4: apparently if a tiger thinks you there's a thorn between
- 13:10Speaker 4: his paws, his tees me, it's not.
- 13:14Speaker 1: I think it's all about belief because belief to an
- 13:17Speaker 1: extent drives physiology, or at least has a physiological consequence.
- 13:22Speaker 1: Like if you believe you know something bad's happening and
- 13:25Speaker 1: it's not, your physiology respondses though the bad things happening, right,
- 13:31Speaker 1: you know, Or conversely, something great's happening when you're actually
- 13:34Speaker 1: in danger. You're in danger, but you don't know, so
- 13:37Speaker 1: there's no fear, so there's no fear response in the
- 13:39Speaker 1: body because you just don't know, you know, so I
- 13:43Speaker 1: think our brain turns it all on or off to
- 13:46Speaker 1: an extent anyway.
- 13:49Speaker 4: Yeah, there's experiment with the guy where they have like
- 13:52Speaker 4: a baffle and a rubber arm and oh it's the
- 13:56Speaker 4: guy's like, ah, oh wait, that wasn't me.
- 14:00Speaker 1: No, yeah, where they've got that little board where he
- 14:03Speaker 1: can't really Yeah, so over time it feels like that's
- 14:07Speaker 1: actually your arm.
- 14:08Speaker 2: Yeah, that's yeah.
- 14:10Speaker 1: Hey, I was thinking about so with biohacking, we're trying
- 14:14Speaker 1: to understand our body, and we're trying to heal our body,
- 14:17Speaker 1: and we're trying to get there the quickest, healthiest, safest way.
- 14:23Speaker 1: And I've been thinking lately about like trying to build
- 14:30Speaker 1: a relationship with our body, like interception or interroception, where
- 14:35Speaker 1: our body is always telling us stuff. They're always signs
- 14:38Speaker 1: and signals and information coming from our body. But at
- 14:43Speaker 1: the same time, I think either one with a lot
- 14:45Speaker 1: of us have really disconnected from that knowingly or not,
- 14:50Speaker 1: or we don't know how to interpret that or what
- 14:53Speaker 1: to do with that, and we'd almost rather trust, you know,
- 14:57Speaker 1: the person that we met seven minutes go to give
- 15:01Speaker 1: us a pill to fix the thing versus listening to
- 15:05Speaker 1: our own body.
- 15:06Speaker 2: Not that we should necessarily prescribe stuff for ourselves.
- 15:09Speaker 1: But you know what I mean, it's like it feels
- 15:11Speaker 1: like something that's probably kept humans alife for a live
- 15:15Speaker 1: for millennia many millennia has kind of been cut off
- 15:20Speaker 1: because back in the day, we didn't have pills, powders, potions, surgeries, antibiotics,
- 15:25Speaker 1: not like we do now anyway, And so they just
- 15:29Speaker 1: understood what their body was telling them more. But now
- 15:32Speaker 1: that seems to be almost a thing of the past.
- 15:36Speaker 4: We're way to reactive to that. So right, people have it.
- 15:44Speaker 4: You know something's wrong, they get immediate you know, help,
- 15:46Speaker 4: look at me, help me, something's wrong, right, and you
- 15:49Speaker 4: get pills thrown out you So yeah, I mean on
- 15:52Speaker 4: thousands of years ago, you'd get plants or leaves rubbed
- 15:57Speaker 4: on your wound or even you know, these African tribes
- 16:04Speaker 4: knew how to open the skull. You see. You know,
- 16:08Speaker 4: brain surgery isn't new. It's one of the oldest types
- 16:12Speaker 4: of surgery. So you know, people with certain ailments, they
- 16:16Speaker 4: would release the evil humors by opening the skull. It's
- 16:20Speaker 4: called trephonation.
- 16:22Speaker 2: Wow, how long is gone with that.
- 16:25Speaker 4: Oh, I mean this has been done for thousands of years.
- 16:29Speaker 4: And they would chew on like coca leaves, you know,
- 16:32Speaker 4: for anesthesia, and they would take these stones and they
- 16:35Speaker 4: would you know, cut off square, you know, into the
- 16:40Speaker 4: into the skull and let it, let it ooze open,
- 16:44Speaker 4: let it let it heal open. You know. So wow,
- 16:48Speaker 4: that's not new. So I think we just are. We
- 16:52Speaker 4: have way many more options. So people always, oh, go
- 16:57Speaker 4: get look at this, fix this, give me something quick fix.
- 17:00Speaker 4: You know. That's that's the mentality, at least here in
- 17:03Speaker 4: the States.
- 17:04Speaker 2: You know, I feel like we've had.
- 17:09Speaker 1: Digressing away from medicine a little bit, but I feel
- 17:11Speaker 1: like over the whatever, they keep moving the goalpost three
- 17:16Speaker 1: hundred thousand, I think they're out to about a million
- 17:19Speaker 1: years of like human kind of cognitive you know, smartish
- 17:26Speaker 1: humans doing stuff. And you think about all the former
- 17:32Speaker 1: or some of the past civilizations, like where they're building
- 17:35Speaker 1: pyramids with what were how we don't know, we couldn't
- 17:40Speaker 1: do that today. Like they're moving one hundred ton rocks
- 17:43Speaker 1: across sand and then getting an eighty ton rock on
- 17:48Speaker 1: top of that up to this thing that's three hundred
- 17:50Speaker 1: feet high and when you look at the corners of
- 17:52Speaker 1: the pyramid, they are absolutely millimeter perfectly aligned east west,
- 17:57Speaker 1: north south right.
- 17:59Speaker 2: What we can't do that today, That's impossible.
- 18:01Speaker 1: Today we don't have the technology or the whatever, right,
- 18:05Speaker 1: But they did that then. I feel like there have
- 18:08Speaker 1: been civilizations maybe that.
- 18:10Speaker 2: Have come and gone, that had their own.
- 18:13Speaker 1: Own technology, their own genius, their own capacity to do
- 18:18Speaker 1: amazing shit. And maybe we're not the most evolved group
- 18:23Speaker 1: that's ever been.
- 18:27Speaker 4: I think there's credibility for that. Now. There's a there's
- 18:30Speaker 4: a great TV show here in the States called Ancient Aliens.
- 18:33Speaker 4: Do you get that one?
- 18:35Speaker 1: I think we do. I haven't. I think that's on.
- 18:38Speaker 1: I think that streams in one of our platforms.
- 18:41Speaker 4: They cover these topics and the you know, the compelling
- 18:50Speaker 4: you know, petroglyphic evidence and things like the pyramids, how
- 18:53Speaker 4: perfect they are and things. And interesting here in the
- 18:56Speaker 4: States is that in the last couple of years, eleven
- 19:02Speaker 4: high ranking scientists have either been killed or missing who
- 19:07Speaker 4: deal with some of this potential knowledge UFOs and all
- 19:13Speaker 4: kinds of things. There's something that we're not supposed to
- 19:15Speaker 4: know that we want to know.
- 19:18Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think so too. And I'm not
- 19:22Speaker 1: a conspiracy theorist, but there's definitely a lot of shit
- 19:25Speaker 1: that is known by some people that is controlled right
- 19:33Speaker 1: so that that can't get out because apparently it would
- 19:35Speaker 1: freak us all out if we all knew, or there'd
- 19:38Speaker 1: be some kind of negative impact.
- 19:41Speaker 4: Perhaps, yeah, that's not we have mass rioting if yeah,
- 19:47Speaker 4: if we knew what we're not supposed to know exactly,
- 19:50Speaker 4: that's social control. Governments need to maintain that social control.
- 19:54Speaker 4: But you're here to disrupt it, and that's what I
- 19:56Speaker 4: love about you, Craig and Tiff.
- 19:58Speaker 1: I do think like the older I get, the more
- 20:01Speaker 1: I know that I don't know much right, and I'm
- 20:05Speaker 1: not being falsely humble. It's like, oh fuck, I thought this,
- 20:08Speaker 1: it's not that. And then I think, if I be
- 20:13Speaker 1: as objective as I can be, which is not very
- 20:16Speaker 1: because I'm me, But if I'm honest, I go, well,
- 20:20Speaker 1: I've been wrong about maybe as many things as I've
- 20:25Speaker 1: been right about, so assuming everything that I think now
- 20:28Speaker 1: is right is just an exercise in ego and arrogance.
- 20:32Speaker 1: So do I think things categorically are true?
- 20:35Speaker 4: Yes?
- 20:36Speaker 1: Do I believe things yes? Do I know that both
- 20:40Speaker 1: of those could be wrong? Absolutely, because I've been wrong
- 20:43Speaker 1: so many times. So I think when it comes.
- 20:45Speaker 2: To you know, if anybody had spoke to me.
- 20:49Speaker 1: About aliens and shit ten years ago, and I'm not
- 20:51Speaker 1: an alien kind of devo, I would have gone, nah,
- 20:55Speaker 1: not real, true, not true, bullshit.
- 20:58Speaker 2: And then the more that I hear stuff, go oh maybe.
- 21:01Speaker 1: And then you hear about the vastness of the universe
- 21:03Speaker 1: and you think about like, how fucking unimaginably huge the universes,
- 21:11Speaker 1: and we go, no, we are absolutely the only life
- 21:15Speaker 1: form in the universe.
- 21:16Speaker 2: No, it's just us.
- 21:18Speaker 1: Well, how the fuck would I even have the beginning
- 21:23Speaker 1: of understanding to know that that's true. Maybe that's just
- 21:26Speaker 1: a story that we tell ourselves because the other story
- 21:29Speaker 1: is a bit terrifying or uncomfortable.
- 21:32Speaker 2: And the truth is, we don't know that's the truth.
- 21:36Speaker 1: We can believe there isn't, but we don't have evidence
- 21:39Speaker 1: that there isn't. And you can also say, well, we
- 21:42Speaker 1: don't evidence have evidence that there is. That's also true,
- 21:47Speaker 1: but we don't have proof that there isn't. So, as
- 21:49Speaker 1: you know, it's that being open minded, especially when it
- 21:53Speaker 1: means having to consider the thing that makes you comfortable
- 22:00Speaker 1: or is very familiar or is integrated into your identity.
- 22:05Speaker 1: When you think about that being wrong, well, of course,
- 22:09Speaker 1: emotionally you push back against that because I don't want
- 22:12Speaker 1: to be wrong, because that's going to fuck up my
- 22:14Speaker 1: last thirty years of reality, because I've believed this since
- 22:18Speaker 1: I was twenty.
- 22:20Speaker 4: And that's where the Eber game comes in.
- 22:23Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, yeah, Well we all grew up in
- 22:28Speaker 2: a model that.
- 22:29Speaker 1: Tells us that, you know, only doctors know well, doctors
- 22:34Speaker 1: are great, but maybe not only medical doctors have insight
- 22:39Speaker 1: into healing and health and recovery, and you know what
- 22:43Speaker 1: appears to be magic outside of the four walls of
- 22:46Speaker 1: the logic that is medicine. Anyway, Hi, doctor Jeff, I'm
- 22:53Speaker 1: marked from Yeah, I'm marked from Brisbane.
- 22:56Speaker 2: I'm forty eight.
- 22:56Speaker 1: I've got a bulging disc in my lie back and
- 22:58Speaker 1: constant stiffness. Am I a candidate for regenerative treatments? I
- 23:05Speaker 1: like how he writes? Or is that just hype?
- 23:08Speaker 4: What Mark?
- 23:09Speaker 1: Why would the bloke anyway? Is he a candidate for
- 23:13Speaker 1: regenerative treatments? So I feel like we've probably gone here
- 23:16Speaker 1: a befure, but let's cover it quickly.
- 23:20Speaker 4: Well, you know, possibly we need to know more if
- 23:24Speaker 4: you if you look at final discs, they do degenerate
- 23:29Speaker 4: with time. They get shorter, they get you know, we
- 23:31Speaker 4: get shorter because of that. Do you ever notice how
- 23:36Speaker 4: after a night's rest of lying down taking gravity off,
- 23:41Speaker 4: and you get into the car in the morning, you
- 23:44Speaker 4: have to adjust the rear view mirror.
- 23:47Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because you're literally a bit taller.
- 23:50Speaker 4: Yeah, you're taller. You've rehydrated a bit so. So discs
- 23:55Speaker 4: tend to have some bulging over our lifetime. Bulging, it's
- 24:00Speaker 4: is a diffuse relaxing of the annulst, just like we
- 24:03Speaker 4: might get a little love handle around the middle, or
- 24:06Speaker 4: maybe some wrinkles on the face. Bulging does not necessarily hurt.
- 24:11Speaker 4: If you did MRIs of pain free people, twenty percent
- 24:16Speaker 4: the minority, but still some real number would have bulges. Now,
- 24:21Speaker 4: the pathological entity, the problem entity that does require attention often,
- 24:26Speaker 4: not always, but often is an actual herniated disc. It's
- 24:31Speaker 4: they are not the same herniations and bulges, and people,
- 24:35Speaker 4: even doctors misconstrued those all the time. So herniations where
- 24:40Speaker 4: some of the material the disc is actually out of place,
- 24:43Speaker 4: and it's usually a very limited area on the disc.
- 24:47Speaker 4: If you think of the discs as having an equator.
- 24:50Speaker 4: Herniation is usually just one continent around the globe, so
- 24:57Speaker 4: the herniations come in different forms. You might have heard
- 25:01Speaker 4: words like protrusion or extrusion or free fragment. Those are
- 25:05Speaker 4: all herniations. So if you only truly have a bulge,
- 25:10Speaker 4: you probably don't need regenerative treatment. That's probably not the
- 25:14Speaker 4: cause of your back pain necessarily. If you have a
- 25:18Speaker 4: herniation that was misreference as a bulge because you were
- 25:21Speaker 4: given that word or it's a popular social term, which
- 25:24Speaker 4: it is here as well, then we would take a
- 25:28Speaker 4: closer look at the MRI details. We would correlate that
- 25:31Speaker 4: with your specific symptoms, not just your back pain, but
- 25:33Speaker 4: where's your back pain? What provokes the back pain? Does
- 25:36Speaker 4: it go down your butt or your leg or tingle
- 25:38Speaker 4: in your foot? We need to know all this. You
- 25:40Speaker 4: need to be examined and that's that correlation. That's the
- 25:43Speaker 4: essence of the practice of medicine. Then and only then
- 25:48Speaker 4: might we say, oh, okay, I perceive that some of
- 25:52Speaker 4: these symptoms might be coming from this discarnation. We might
- 25:57Speaker 4: try a test injection we block or numb the pain
- 26:01Speaker 4: fibers along and the inflammatory chemicals along that nerve path
- 26:07Speaker 4: that is a selected epidural injection at the side of
- 26:12Speaker 4: that disc. It might only be on one side, might be.
- 26:14Speaker 4: And then if you have at least a temporary benefit,
- 26:17Speaker 4: because sometimes you can have a longer lasting but if
- 26:19Speaker 4: you have at least a temporary benefit that's meaningful, then
- 26:23Speaker 4: we say, ah, that is the disk. It is giving
- 26:26Speaker 4: us trouble here because we block that spot and you
- 26:29Speaker 4: felt better, then and only then we go with the options.
- 26:32Speaker 4: The options could include surgery to clean up the disc
- 26:35Speaker 4: that's slipping out, It could include another and if the
- 26:38Speaker 4: injection lasts many, many, many months, you might well, let's
- 26:41Speaker 4: do one of those a year or twice a year.
- 26:43Speaker 4: And then we might look at regenerative medicine, which would
- 26:46Speaker 4: be injecting in that same spot some of these highly
- 26:52Speaker 4: anti inflammatory stem cell based cell signals. Now we have
- 26:57Speaker 4: other techniques. Now we use peptides. I've talked about peptide
- 27:00Speaker 4: as many times. It's my favorite topic these days. And
- 27:04Speaker 4: then you know, we also take a look at you first.
- 27:07Speaker 4: Maybe maybe you got a few extra pounds, a little
- 27:12Speaker 4: too much beer in the midline, mid section, and we
- 27:15Speaker 4: need to work on, you know, just restoring your core
- 27:18Speaker 4: structures through the right type of therapies and exercise, and
- 27:22Speaker 4: that I should have I should have led with that.
- 27:24Speaker 4: That's actually come first. No, so we have the whole picture.
- 27:30Speaker 1: You can tiff over there blowing our eyes with a
- 27:32Speaker 1: microphone off. Turn on your mic for a minute. Yes,
- 27:36Speaker 1: I feel I feel like I've caught something just watching you.
- 27:41Speaker 2: Are you going to make it through this the show?
- 27:44Speaker 3: I'm not sure, mate, I'm not sure. Every day there's
- 27:46Speaker 3: just there's a new symptom.
- 27:48Speaker 2: So are you still full of snot?
- 27:50Speaker 4: Oh?
- 27:50Speaker 2: Today more than ever? Wow? Wow, that's fantastic.
- 27:55Speaker 1: Shout out to those people eating a custard tide up moment.
- 27:58Speaker 1: You're welcome, Oh, TIFFs, stop it, hope you hope you're
- 28:02Speaker 1: enjoying your corn flakes.
- 28:04Speaker 2: Perfect, all right, we'll go back to blowing your big
- 28:07Speaker 2: red nose. You look like fucking Rudolph.
- 28:09Speaker 1: You need some reindeer behind you and a sleigh such palih.
- 28:15Speaker 2: Are are we precious? You'll be right, You'll be right,
- 28:20Speaker 2: all right, turn your mic off. Blow your nose.
- 28:23Speaker 1: So, I don't know what this this seems like. I
- 28:27Speaker 1: don't know if this is much of a question.
- 28:29Speaker 2: Sorry, Pete.
- 28:30Speaker 1: Pete from Drew and Druan's a little country town where
- 28:33Speaker 1: my mum grew up. He says, Dr Jeff, I would
- 28:37Speaker 1: like your thoughts on the reality and the BS. He
- 28:40Speaker 1: wrote BS, he didn't write the actual word. Well done, Pete,
- 28:43Speaker 1: your thoughts on the reality and the BS of anti aging.
- 28:47Speaker 1: I know that's a very broad question, but I don't
- 28:50Speaker 1: know if you'd like to speak.
- 28:51Speaker 2: To that at all. Yeah.
- 28:53Speaker 4: I like that, thanks, Pete. So you know your your
- 28:58Speaker 4: grandmother tie how to do anti aging at the very beginning,
- 29:03Speaker 4: eat right, sleep right, you know, brush your teeth, I mean,
- 29:08Speaker 4: you do. All those things have anti aging qualities and properties.
- 29:12Speaker 4: The modern world really buggered that up. So there are
- 29:17Speaker 4: many things you can do to help slow and reverse
- 29:19Speaker 4: inflammatory stress at the cellular level. That's really aging, what
- 29:23Speaker 4: aging is, and and you're doing those things, it is
- 29:27Speaker 4: anti aging. You can actually reverse the aging of your cells.
- 29:31Speaker 4: And you know, because you are an equals one, we
- 29:35Speaker 4: don't know if that makes you live longer or not.
- 29:37Speaker 4: But when you look at populations of people who who
- 29:39Speaker 4: behave a certain way, who walk ten thousand steps a day,
- 29:43Speaker 4: who you know, eat organically things like that, they tend
- 29:46Speaker 4: to be healthier and live longer. So we're learning more
- 29:49Speaker 4: about those behaviors and techniques all the time, and there
- 29:56Speaker 4: are many approaches to that. That's a topic that's on
- 30:00Speaker 4: every day and I talk to patients about every day.
- 30:03Speaker 4: So it's not BSPE, but you've got to do the work.
- 30:07Speaker 1: Do you think that's part of the the barrier to
- 30:13Speaker 1: real transformation, lasting transformation for people, is that like a
- 30:18Speaker 1: lot of the stuff that works, the stuff that we
- 30:22Speaker 1: should do if this is our goal, is not sexy
- 30:26Speaker 1: or fast or comfortable, or you know.
- 30:28Speaker 2: It's like wow, well fucker really walked into that. Really
- 30:31Speaker 2: go the gym five days a week or whatever it is.
- 30:34Speaker 1: And you know, like a lot of the things that
- 30:36Speaker 1: we need to do are fun or comfortable or convenient,
- 30:40Speaker 1: and we are a culture addicted to fun and convenient
- 30:43Speaker 1: and comfortable.
- 30:45Speaker 2: You know.
- 30:45Speaker 1: That seems to me like a mental barrier, not so
- 30:48Speaker 1: much a physical issue.
- 30:50Speaker 4: Oh absolutely, It's an instant gratification culture and people don't
- 30:56Speaker 4: want to get off the couch and you know, or
- 31:00Speaker 4: some people do exercise, but maybe they don't eat right there.
- 31:03Speaker 4: You know, there are so many simple elements that you
- 31:06Speaker 4: could apply to have a healthier longevity.
- 31:12Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I don't want to mention any names, I'll
- 31:15Speaker 1: get myself in trouble. But there have been a few
- 31:18Speaker 1: over the last decade people kind of commenting or sharing
- 31:22Speaker 1: publicly about.
- 31:26Speaker 2: You know, big is beautiful and all of that.
- 31:28Speaker 1: And I'm not saying it is and I'm not questioning,
- 31:30Speaker 1: but the messaging was being big is beautiful being you know,
- 31:33Speaker 1: we all just need to accept how we are, who
- 31:35Speaker 1: we are and all of that. And you know, and
- 31:40Speaker 1: now some of these people who were very big and
- 31:43Speaker 1: overweighthed a borderline skinny on ozepic, so when the possibility
- 31:50Speaker 1: came to change their body drastically, they changed it. I'm like,
- 31:56Speaker 1: there's a mixed messaging. I can take a post from
- 31:59Speaker 1: you nine years ago where you go, you know, this
- 32:02Speaker 1: is how I want to be and how I'm comfortable
- 32:04Speaker 1: in this and I'm lovable and this is me. And
- 32:07Speaker 1: it's like, now they weigh fucking forty eight kilos some
- 32:11Speaker 1: of them, and or one hundred pounds or whatever.
- 32:13Speaker 2: You know. And I'm not saying right wrong, good bad.
- 32:17Speaker 1: I'm just saying I feel like sometimes we tell the
- 32:20Speaker 1: story we want to tell because that just suits us.
- 32:24Speaker 1: It may not be the unequivocal, absolute, deep down truth
- 32:28Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
- 32:29Speaker 4: People feel bad about themselves when they don't fit in
- 32:33Speaker 4: a cultural norm sometimes, and yes, and they have to
- 32:38Speaker 4: give themselves a pat on the back say it's okay,
- 32:40Speaker 4: I'm still lovable. I get that. That doesn't mean obesity
- 32:45Speaker 4: is healthy.
- 32:46Speaker 1: Correct, Yeah, I've been telling them that, telling that to
- 32:51Speaker 1: people for years. It's like, you can be an awesome
- 32:54Speaker 1: person worthy of all the love and respect. Of course,
- 32:58Speaker 1: like I don't like people more or less or love
- 33:01Speaker 1: them more or less based on their weight or their
- 33:03Speaker 1: fucking appearance.
- 33:04Speaker 2: It doesn't like it's not an issue.
- 33:07Speaker 1: But I'm not talking about whether or not you're a
- 33:08Speaker 1: great person or lovable or brilliant or creative or gifted.
- 33:14Speaker 1: I'm talking about the fact that there absolutely is a
- 33:18Speaker 1: relationship between the state that your body is in and
- 33:22Speaker 1: illness and morbidity and health span and lifespan.
- 33:27Speaker 2: These are not insults. This is science. There's not a
- 33:30Speaker 2: criticism of you. This is a scientific reality that you're
- 33:36Speaker 2: pretending doesn't exist.
- 33:40Speaker 4: That's right. I completely agree with you that on that topic.
- 33:44Speaker 4: And I'm not here to shame anyone. I mean, you know,
- 33:48Speaker 4: there's a lot of reason's why you might be that way,
- 33:50Speaker 4: and you know, people have trouble with wheat and we
- 33:53Speaker 4: have more solutions now. Like you said, o zampek GP medications,
- 33:59Speaker 4: peptides back a peptid topic. So these are very powerful
- 34:04Speaker 4: and useful tools if done correctly, you still got to
- 34:07Speaker 4: do the work. You got to change your lifestyle because
- 34:09Speaker 4: once you stop that GLP, your appetite comes throwing back.
- 34:14Speaker 4: You may go back to the very pathways that got
- 34:19Speaker 4: you there in the first place.
- 34:20Speaker 1: Speaking of this topic, it's probably relevant because I'm sure
- 34:23Speaker 1: some of our listeners are using ozenbic and the like,
- 34:29Speaker 1: which is, if you are well done all the support
- 34:33Speaker 1: all that, what are some things that other than taking that,
- 34:37Speaker 1: that people can do that are going to help the
- 34:42Speaker 1: long term success and support their body. Because it's not
- 34:48Speaker 1: all flowers and unicorns with these drugs. There are potential downsides.
- 34:53Speaker 1: So what else should people who are using these things
- 34:56Speaker 1: think about and perhaps even implement to look craft to
- 35:00Speaker 1: themselves beyond the however long it is that I use
- 35:04Speaker 1: the drug?
- 35:05Speaker 4: Well, they need to be looking towards behavioral changes that
- 35:09Speaker 4: stay after you stop the drug. They need to focus
- 35:12Speaker 4: on muscle building, because you will lose some muscle during
- 35:16Speaker 4: the process, especially with the ozepic much more so than
- 35:20Speaker 4: let's say the Reddit truetide. But still you want to
- 35:24Speaker 4: focus on muscle, which means you have to be eating
- 35:26Speaker 4: protein and exercising hard, you know, work to failure intensity,
- 35:33Speaker 4: different different types of things. And then you know, also,
- 35:39Speaker 4: since you're not as hungry when you do eat, you
- 35:42Speaker 4: really need to have intention about eating healthy things, because
- 35:46Speaker 4: if you have a super healthy diet every now and
- 35:48Speaker 4: then you want to go off the rails and have,
- 35:50Speaker 4: you know, some really greasy pizza, you're going to be okay.
- 35:54Speaker 4: But if you're having pizza and fresh frise every day,
- 35:58Speaker 4: that's an issue.
- 36:00Speaker 1: Definitely okay. Josh thirty four from the Gold Coast. I'm
- 36:07Speaker 1: jealous of you, Josh thirty four. I tol my maniscous,
- 36:11Speaker 1: but I'm still functional.
- 36:12Speaker 2: Should I leave it? Fix it?
- 36:14Speaker 4: So?
- 36:14Speaker 1: These are hard questions listeners, because doctor Jeff would normally
- 36:19Speaker 1: at the very least see someone. So these are hard
- 36:23Speaker 1: questions to answer. I guess, but to my miniscus still functional?
- 36:27Speaker 1: Should I leave it, fix it surgically or explore other options?
- 36:33Speaker 3: Well?
- 36:33Speaker 4: I like the hard questions. I like this actually, So
- 36:37Speaker 4: if you're still functional and that any related pain discomfort
- 36:42Speaker 4: whatever word you want to use, is tolerable and you're improving. Yeah,
- 36:48Speaker 4: and the tear is not a large tear. You don't
- 36:52Speaker 4: have to fix it. Yes, you don't have to surgery
- 36:55Speaker 4: for it. You know there's a knee jerk or a
- 36:58Speaker 4: lot of the orthopedic doctors will see this. Oh, we've
- 37:00Speaker 4: got to fix it, because that's that's your orthopedic surgeons.
- 37:04Speaker 4: You know, are these smart people who then become cavemen
- 37:06Speaker 4: and you know, you break a bone. Nay, all they
- 37:09Speaker 4: want to do is fix it. You know, bone broke,
- 37:11Speaker 4: You must fix bone. Same thing with her medical taire
- 37:14Speaker 4: is right. Care must prepare tear, you know. No, it's
- 37:17Speaker 4: not always the case. So if you're doing okay and
- 37:20Speaker 4: it's not going the wrong direction, and now may not
- 37:24Speaker 4: be the time to fix it, and it might be
- 37:27Speaker 4: the time to look at some peptides or regenerative medicine
- 37:29Speaker 4: to help improve the cartilage around there so you can
- 37:33Speaker 4: overcome it.
- 37:35Speaker 2: Roger that all right, Ryan twenty nine, Sydney.
- 37:39Speaker 1: I've got tend and artists that just won't go away.
- 37:45Speaker 1: What are your thoughts? He said, why do some injuries
- 37:48Speaker 1: become chronic? That's what he actually said, But I'm like,
- 37:50Speaker 1: well that if you want, and then how do we
- 37:53Speaker 1: maybe treat this long term tendin artists?
- 37:57Speaker 4: Well, typically, Ryan, you know, things become chronic because your
- 38:04Speaker 4: repair factors your ability to repair. You've outpaced it and
- 38:09Speaker 4: you can't repair like you did when you were younger,
- 38:11Speaker 4: and that repair is usually meaning that the inflammations become
- 38:16Speaker 4: chronic and you have to do everything you can to
- 38:19Speaker 4: fight that. And that could be an anti inflammatory diet.
- 38:23Speaker 4: It could be you know, revisiting what exercises or rehabilitation
- 38:27Speaker 4: or therapies you've done to build up the muscles around
- 38:30Speaker 4: that tendon. Could be a really good flexibility routine, you know.
- 38:36Speaker 4: It might be you need some type of anti inflammatory
- 38:40Speaker 4: medication for a short while or an injection just to
- 38:43Speaker 4: just to you know, break the cycle and then then
- 38:45Speaker 4: really get in on working out. A lot of people
- 38:48Speaker 4: are using something called shockwave therapy, now not electroshock therapy,
- 38:52Speaker 4: but shockwave. So it's basically a very powerful thumping, like
- 38:58Speaker 4: like you would do to break up a kidney stone,
- 39:01Speaker 4: like a lith of trips. Yeah, yeah, And they make
- 39:04Speaker 4: devices or certain clinics you can go to and have
- 39:07Speaker 4: them break up sort of the tough tendon that that
- 39:10Speaker 4: continues that cycle of inflammation. So usually tendinitis is more
- 39:15Speaker 4: pronounced far away from the center of the body. So
- 39:18Speaker 4: we're talking feet, you know, we're talking about plantar fasci itis,
- 39:23Speaker 4: We're talking about achilles tendonitis, or maybe at the wrist
- 39:26Speaker 4: or hand elbow. Those are those are the most common areas.
- 39:30Speaker 4: I'd say that that that lead to persistence that you
- 39:33Speaker 4: have to really fight.
- 39:35Speaker 1: This is from Craig Harper sixty two, The U Project
- 39:40Speaker 1: Craig riots good au old fuck how No he doesn't.
- 39:45Speaker 2: I wanted to ask you.
- 39:47Speaker 1: About and for you to I don't even know what
- 39:50Speaker 1: your thoughts are on this. I have a bit of
- 39:52Speaker 1: an idea, but I personally know.
- 39:58Speaker 2: I don't know. I would have to guess a bit.
- 40:00Speaker 1: But at the least ten, at the most twenty women
- 40:03Speaker 1: who use testosterone, which when I say that to lots
- 40:07Speaker 1: of people, they go like, that's not even something they
- 40:10Speaker 1: ever heard of or thought about. And the immediate reaction is, oh,
- 40:14Speaker 1: my god, like why would you you know? It's like, ah,
- 40:19Speaker 1: why are women now using generally it's a cream, is.
- 40:23Speaker 2: My understanding, But you'll know better than me.
- 40:25Speaker 1: Why are women now being prescribed testosterone, which all of
- 40:29Speaker 1: most of us go, well, that's a man thing for sure.
- 40:32Speaker 1: Don't put that in there. What stood happening features, benefits
- 40:37Speaker 1: and advantages.
- 40:39Speaker 4: Yeah, so we're all culturally attuned to estrogens for women
- 40:42Speaker 4: and testosterones for men, but really we are all. Both
- 40:45Speaker 4: sexes have some of all of that. They're in the
- 40:48Speaker 4: same sort of path came biochemical pathways. They can convert
- 40:52Speaker 4: to each other. To starsterone is meat into estrogen. So
- 40:56Speaker 4: a woman cannot have estrogen unless she's making testosterone, and
- 41:00Speaker 4: a woman has a normal amount of testosterone. If they
- 41:03Speaker 4: lose that, they lose drive, they lose energy, they lose motivation,
- 41:06Speaker 4: they lose libido, and they lose the ability to maintain
- 41:11Speaker 4: muscle mass. So even when we do hormone replacement for women,
- 41:16Speaker 4: we look at the testosterone level, and if we've replaced
- 41:21Speaker 4: estrogen and progesterone and the testosterone is still low, we
- 41:26Speaker 4: might ask some certain questions about their energy and other
- 41:29Speaker 4: things and give them a little bit back. A typical
- 41:33Speaker 4: in milligrams per deestolator for women we shoot for about
- 41:36Speaker 4: fifty or so, maybe a little more, and men we're
- 41:39Speaker 4: looking at, you know, six to eight hundred, so we're
- 41:41Speaker 4: looking at less than a tenth of the male dose.
- 41:43Speaker 4: So don't freak out everybody. You're not converting women into men.
- 41:47Speaker 4: You're making them better women.
- 41:49Speaker 1: You're not getting a jab in the bottom in the
- 41:51Speaker 1: locker room of the gym.
- 41:53Speaker 4: There are women who will do injections, just a lot
- 41:56Speaker 4: smaller dose or a lot less frequently.
- 41:59Speaker 2: Yeah, are they?
- 42:01Speaker 1: That doesn't matter. That was going to be a very
- 42:04Speaker 1: irrelevant question. Do you think that the acceptance and the understanding.
- 42:08Speaker 1: I know in Australia it's I think we're ten years
- 42:10Speaker 1: behind America in some of these things. In the States,
- 42:15Speaker 1: it seems to be this, you know, TRT seems to
- 42:20Speaker 1: be a lot more acceptable, definitely with men, and a
- 42:24Speaker 1: lot more common and less taboo.
- 42:27Speaker 2: Like I've heard lots of actors and.
- 42:31Speaker 1: Podcasters and you know, various people talk about it publicly,
- 42:36Speaker 1: So it seems not to be the dirty dark secret
- 42:39Speaker 1: that it once was when you and I and TIF.
- 42:42Speaker 1: I'm sure, like I could look at films because I
- 42:45Speaker 1: grew up in gyms with blokes taking steroids, like in
- 42:49Speaker 1: the eighties, it wasn't even a thing, and you might
- 42:51Speaker 1: as well have been taken creatine like, I won't say
- 42:55Speaker 1: the name of the gym, but I worked in a
- 42:56Speaker 1: gym where I would say it was a very room
- 43:00Speaker 1: mentory fund like basic gym, but it was just it
- 43:04Speaker 1: was like lots of tradesmen and cops and crooks and
- 43:10Speaker 1: hard heads and bouncers and like. It was definitely not
- 43:15Speaker 1: your five star facility, but it was awesome.
- 43:18Speaker 2: It was an awesome.
- 43:19Speaker 1: Environment and culture, and everyone trained like animals, but half
- 43:23Speaker 1: of them were on steroids, and half of them would
- 43:25Speaker 1: injected in their ass or their leg or their shoulder,
- 43:29Speaker 1: literally in the change. But we're talking about nineteen eighty
- 43:31Speaker 1: three and four. We're talking about four decades ago. But
- 43:34Speaker 1: it wasn't seen. And by the way, everyone, I'm not
- 43:37Speaker 1: suggesting that's a good practice. I'm just saying what was.
- 43:42Speaker 2: But it seems to be shifting back now where people
- 43:45Speaker 2: are thinking about it as a legitimate treatment.
- 43:50Speaker 4: Well, you know, testosterone has used to restore a missing amount,
- 43:56Speaker 4: and we have a lot of that here in America,
- 43:58Speaker 4: where you know, were a lot of men becoming women,
- 44:01Speaker 4: and they think it has to do with the microplastics
- 44:04Speaker 4: that are interrupting hormones and things like that, But who
- 44:07Speaker 4: knows be that as it may, there's a need for
- 44:11Speaker 4: tesoscer and replacement. We're seeing in thirty year olds forty
- 44:15Speaker 4: year olds very low testoscer levels, so yes, necessity. Now,
- 44:20Speaker 4: anabolic steroids have a role too. If you have wasting
- 44:24Speaker 4: away disease cockexia. You know they used to give it
- 44:27Speaker 4: to you know, people with advanced aids yea, so who
- 44:34Speaker 4: are losing all their muscles. So there's a role for
- 44:37Speaker 4: that now. Of course, there's a downside anabolic steroids. You know,
- 44:39Speaker 4: liver cancers and.
- 44:43Speaker 3: You know you.
- 44:43Speaker 4: Shrivel up your testes and you know they don't work
- 44:46Speaker 4: in that kind of thing, So there are downsides as well.
- 44:50Speaker 4: But you can win the bodybuilding championship.
- 44:55Speaker 1: But when you said men a becoming women, you went
- 44:58Speaker 1: talking about somebody transitioning. You were literally talking about their
- 45:02Speaker 1: physiology changing.
- 45:05Speaker 4: Yeah, I am. I'm talking about a culture of emasculation,
- 45:10Speaker 4: chemical emasculation that's going on here in the States.
- 45:18Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 45:18Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so interesting. All right, let me just have
- 45:24Speaker 1: a scroll. I'm sorry, a lot of these are bit
- 45:29Speaker 1: Rachel forty three from Barron Bay also jealous Barren Bay's
- 45:33Speaker 1: absolutely beautiful doc. Are their lifestyle factors that make these
- 45:37Speaker 1: treatments more or less effective.
- 45:40Speaker 2: I guess we've kind of covered that in a way, but.
- 45:44Speaker 4: No, anything we do. We want to focus on anti
- 45:47Speaker 4: inflammatory lifestyle. You're gonna if you're going to pay, you know,
- 45:50Speaker 4: a few thousand dollars for a regeneritive medicine treatment. Yes,
- 45:53Speaker 4: you should be. We should get your diet dialed in.
- 45:56Speaker 4: We should get your sleep dialed in. We should get
- 45:58Speaker 4: your exercise regimen dialed in, your supplements, your nutrition, your
- 46:02Speaker 4: mental space, everything should be. Yeah, you want to nest
- 46:06Speaker 4: properly for this treatment so it can do as much
- 46:09Speaker 4: as it can for yourselves.
- 46:13Speaker 1: Rob for medeali'd sixty one. Aus can you explain in
- 46:16Speaker 1: terms that I will understand? Good on you, Rob, stem
- 46:21Speaker 1: cell therapy. I don't in then he rits I don't get.
- 46:24Speaker 4: It, Rob. Let's let's you're going to get it after this, okay.
- 46:29Speaker 4: So stem cell therapy is a way of taking our
- 46:34Speaker 4: older bodies that can't repair themselves like they used to.
- 46:38Speaker 4: What do I mean by that? Well, when you were
- 46:41Speaker 4: three years old, you skin your knee on the sidewalk,
- 46:45Speaker 4: and you know you would cry, Mother would clean it up,
- 46:49Speaker 4: put a bandage on it, kiss you send you on
- 46:51Speaker 4: your way and three days later in the bathtub, the
- 46:54Speaker 4: bandage comes off and your scabsam was completely healed. Now
- 46:58Speaker 4: fast forward your fifty seven year years old you fall
- 47:01Speaker 4: down skin your knee and it takes two weeks for
- 47:03Speaker 4: that bad thing to heal. You're the same person with
- 47:06Speaker 4: the same genes. Why don't you heal like a youthful person. Well,
- 47:11Speaker 4: because if you accumulated a bunch of inflammatory damage over
- 47:14Speaker 4: the years, you've got a bunch of junk, you know,
- 47:17Speaker 4: and your cells just can't do what they used to.
- 47:20Speaker 4: Stem Cell therapy slash regenitive medicine is tapping back into
- 47:25Speaker 4: that youthful healing and applying it to allow and trick
- 47:30Speaker 4: and hack and encourage your cells to behave in a
- 47:33Speaker 4: more youthful way to help you heal or repair something
- 47:36Speaker 4: or slow aging. That's what it's all about. Yeah, yeah, Rob,
- 47:41Speaker 4: do you get it?
- 47:43Speaker 2: Robin? I think you got it? What's that?
- 47:48Speaker 1: What's that dude? Divid doctor Divid Sinclair, isn't it?
- 47:53Speaker 4: So?
- 47:54Speaker 1: You know that Divid Sinclair and that other less medical
- 48:00Speaker 1: but more experimental guy who are really going down the
- 48:03Speaker 1: anti aging rabbit hole, Brian Brian Johnson. You know that
- 48:08Speaker 1: Doodo who spends like a million dollars a year up
- 48:11Speaker 1: he's well in the biohacking space.
- 48:13Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on and this is not a
- 48:16Speaker 2: loaded question, what are your thoughts on?
- 48:19Speaker 1: You know, their their research like a lot of Brian
- 48:22Speaker 1: Johnson has really self it's an equals one. He's the
- 48:26Speaker 1: he's the research and the researched and the researcher.
- 48:30Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on the stuff that they're doing?
- 48:34Speaker 4: Well, I think we need handle them separately. So David
- 48:36Speaker 4: Sinclair is you know, works for a sponsored Harvard lab
- 48:41Speaker 4: dealing with something called n MN, which is you know,
- 48:45Speaker 4: from mitochondrial pathways. It helps supply you know, a nicotinamide marcule.
- 48:52Speaker 4: There are many ways to get nicotinamide into your system. Yes,
- 48:56Speaker 4: any D plus is what the goal is here in
- 48:59Speaker 4: any D plus does decline with age. It's hard to
- 49:02Speaker 4: measure if you need it or not because it's hard
- 49:04Speaker 4: to measure the intrast cellular amount. And you know, he
- 49:11Speaker 4: he controversially, you know, was was working towards trying to
- 49:16Speaker 4: make it, you know, a patent or controlled substance for
- 49:21Speaker 4: big pharma to take over. And when he was asked
- 49:23Speaker 4: about that a year and a half ago at the
- 49:25Speaker 4: A four M meeting, which is a big anti AG
- 49:28Speaker 4: meeting in Las Vegas. He said, well, my lab is sponsored.
- 49:32Speaker 4: I have to you know, I have to. They have
- 49:35Speaker 4: to have a return on investment. So these are natural
- 49:38Speaker 4: natural supplements. You know this this should not be controlled
- 49:43Speaker 4: or limited. But it sounds like the best way to
- 49:47Speaker 4: get N A D plus is to take a supplement
- 49:49Speaker 4: called nucleotide riboside. And are you can buy that? You know, well,
- 49:54Speaker 4: I don't know. In Australia, you guys are limited. We
- 49:56Speaker 4: can buy it on our Amazon here. So that's a
- 50:00Speaker 4: popular substance. I've tried different forms of N A D
- 50:04Speaker 4: plus I V and what have you. I didn't feel anything.
- 50:07Speaker 4: Some people do feel something, so maybe they're low. Maybe
- 50:10Speaker 4: I wasn't. I don't know. You know, mitochondria are the
- 50:14Speaker 4: goal here. Take care of your mitochondria and you're taking
- 50:17Speaker 4: care of your cells. You got to have all the
- 50:19Speaker 4: different B vitamins and if you if you're missing that
- 50:23Speaker 4: gene that methylates it, then you got to get it
- 50:25Speaker 4: methylated become in a methilated form. So there are many
- 50:28Speaker 4: different aspects of mitochondrial health and NMN slash NR slash
- 50:33Speaker 4: NAD plus is only one of them.
- 50:36Speaker 1: Wow, if I feel like you're looking this up because
- 50:40Speaker 1: you're going to get you and may achilo over h.
- 50:43Speaker 3: Yeah, we're always looking up. We're always looking up.
- 50:45Speaker 2: The good doctor always.
- 50:47Speaker 4: Wanted this is good. This is fact checker Tiff is
- 50:51Speaker 4: right at it.
- 50:54Speaker 3: Can I ask your question?
- 50:56Speaker 1: Oh?
- 50:56Speaker 3: Thank god on behalf of way too many of the
- 50:59Speaker 3: fame menopausal women in my gym and clients of mine.
- 51:04Speaker 3: Frozen shoulder, bro, what's going on?
- 51:08Speaker 4: Yeah? Frozen shoulder. And we should add this hip tendonitis.
- 51:11Speaker 4: A lot of a lot of women get hip pain.
- 51:13Speaker 4: And those tendons in the shoulder and in the tenons, ligaments,
- 51:18Speaker 4: the cartilage tissues, they get drier, just like a lot
- 51:22Speaker 4: of body parts get drier and women their skin, their eyes,
- 51:25Speaker 4: their privates get dry and things like that. So the
- 51:28Speaker 4: tenons dry out that they're not as flexible, and it's
- 51:33Speaker 4: a it's a symptom going into menopause that can be
- 51:37Speaker 4: avoided if you do everything you can to keep your
- 51:41Speaker 4: cells kick cooking along in a youthful way. And that
- 51:46Speaker 4: usually requires the bioidentical hormone replacement you know that really
- 51:51Speaker 4: help help that. And of course, nothing replaces good flexibility
- 51:56Speaker 4: and strengthening and all that.
- 52:00Speaker 2: They have it.
- 52:01Speaker 3: Is there anything like it seems to be something that
- 52:03Speaker 3: lasts for a couple of years even when you do
- 52:05Speaker 3: the best things for it. Is there anything that moves
- 52:08Speaker 3: that along quicker? Yeah?
- 52:10Speaker 4: I mean there are you know, regenerative medicine, either injections
- 52:14Speaker 4: or ivs, you know, you know, really really working on
- 52:19Speaker 4: the flexibility some good year and yoga or stretching. You know,
- 52:25Speaker 4: it's not going to happen overnight, and it's not going
- 52:27Speaker 4: to be a six week stretching protocol. It's going to
- 52:29Speaker 4: be a six month stretching protocol. So yeah, you can
- 52:32Speaker 4: work on it for sure, thank you.
- 52:36Speaker 2: Sure, I've got two questions, two questions before we jam, doc,
- 52:40Speaker 2: What is I mean obviously nowhere near your level and
- 52:45Speaker 2: understanding supplements and all the things available to us and
- 52:49Speaker 2: peptides and drugs and all the things that have been
- 52:52Speaker 2: used by various people.
- 52:53Speaker 1: But like I first became aware of supplements in I
- 52:57Speaker 1: would say nineteen eighty two three when it comes in
- 53:00Speaker 1: Australia about that time called Masashi launched, which was they
- 53:04Speaker 1: were they did like all the aminos and a whole
- 53:07Speaker 1: range of different stuff. There used to be this thing
- 53:11Speaker 1: called frack. There was another thing called gamma oles, and
- 53:14Speaker 1: there was like desiccated liver was chewed by bodybuilders, like lollies,
- 53:19Speaker 1: like all of these. And I remember taking el carnatine
- 53:22Speaker 1: and l R janine and it was just this powder
- 53:26Speaker 1: that tastes it like, oh my god, it was like
- 53:29Speaker 1: the worst tasting thing I've ever It was.
- 53:31Speaker 2: Like dry dead fish. It's stunk.
- 53:35Speaker 1: But a whole bunch of things that I took, and
- 53:38Speaker 1: I mean all over the counter supplements, but I remember
- 53:41Speaker 1: one day realizing that I was now taking about forty
- 53:46Speaker 1: forty five pills or tablets today and I literally went,
- 53:50Speaker 1: I'm going to take zero for a week. It made
- 53:53Speaker 1: no difference. It made absolutely no difference. Now maybe that's
- 53:58Speaker 1: just because I didn't.
- 54:00Speaker 2: But so my.
- 54:01Speaker 1: Question is, in the last few decades, the most overrated
- 54:06Speaker 1: but underperforming miracle drugs supplement that's come out and been
- 54:12Speaker 1: all whiz bang and then kind of fallen on its ass.
- 54:17Speaker 4: Oh interesting, something that's come out and fallen and then turned.
- 54:22Speaker 1: Out well, something that got a whole lot of press
- 54:25Speaker 1: that really fizzled out and we went or a whole
- 54:27Speaker 1: lot of momentum, and it's like, yeah, no, it doesn't
- 54:31Speaker 1: do it.
- 54:33Speaker 4: Well, we've seen, you know, our own FDA reverse reverse
- 54:38Speaker 4: themselves on many things. Let me think of a drug. Well,
- 54:45Speaker 4: for a while, we were using these anti inflammatories back
- 54:48Speaker 4: in the nineties and early two thousands called extra or bios.
- 54:54Speaker 4: These were cocks two blockers, and they were very very
- 54:59Speaker 4: effective using inflammatory pain for joint and spine issues, but
- 55:04Speaker 4: we were causing all kinds of cardiovascular problems and heart attacks.
- 55:08Speaker 2: I remembers vioux was killing people, wasn't it.
- 55:12Speaker 4: It was also making them feel better until it killed them,
- 55:16Speaker 4: so you felt.
- 55:16Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, died with a smile on your face, but.
- 55:22Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, they got pulled off the market. That's probably
- 55:25Speaker 4: the biggest thing I can think of in my career.
- 55:29Speaker 2: Up until his heart exploded, he was so happy.
- 55:32Speaker 4: Yeah yeah.
- 55:35Speaker 1: Last one the opposite of that, the most valuable but
- 55:42Speaker 1: perhaps underestimated supplement drug hormone, peptide whatever, but something that's
- 55:50Speaker 1: really quite valuable for most people, but really underdiscussed, unknown
- 55:57Speaker 1: and maybe underestimated.
- 56:00Speaker 4: Ooh, I got two that popped into my head. I
- 56:02Speaker 4: don't know where to go with this. I'm gonna I'm
- 56:04Speaker 4: gonna give you multiple choice. I'm going to tell you both,
- 56:06Speaker 4: and you pick the one, okay, right, all right? Melatonin
- 56:11Speaker 4: and probiotics.
- 56:13Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah.
- 56:16Speaker 1: I think it's a person dependent Like I use probiotics
- 56:21Speaker 1: and they really move the needle for me.
- 56:24Speaker 2: Yeah, So for.
- 56:25Speaker 1: Me it would be that, but for others it'll be melotonin.
- 56:27Speaker 1: And give us the quick sale speech for each of those.
- 56:31Speaker 4: Melatonin is not just to help you sleep. It is
- 56:33Speaker 4: a It is supports cellular repair at night. It's a
- 56:36Speaker 4: hormone that we just don't make well after puberty, so
- 56:40Speaker 4: it helps replace that hormone, just like you replace testosterone.
- 56:44Speaker 4: And it really answers your quality of sleep, your depth
- 56:47Speaker 4: of sleep, and that means your cells are repairing better
- 56:51Speaker 4: and you need that if you want to slow aging
- 56:54Speaker 4: and heal other things. On the probiotics side, we have
- 56:58Speaker 4: a very intimate relationship with the bacteria that live in
- 57:01Speaker 4: us and honest and you have to have the right
- 57:05Speaker 4: mix for optimal anti inflammatory, anti aging health. They support
- 57:10Speaker 4: the brain, they support other parts of the body. So
- 57:12Speaker 4: I do recommend a high quality probiotic.
- 57:16Speaker 2: I mean, if what's your favorite.
- 57:18Speaker 1: I know you take a lot of drugs, but what's
- 57:21Speaker 1: the supplement that I'm kidding, like, either now or over time,
- 57:26Speaker 1: what's the supplement or the support for you that's been
- 57:31Speaker 1: like the best bang for buck so to speak.
- 57:34Speaker 3: Creatine definitely, Yeah.
- 57:38Speaker 1: Yeah, creatinees kind of or our awareness or understanding of
- 57:42Speaker 1: what it does, because it used to just be like
- 57:44Speaker 1: a get bigger muscles thing. Now we allegedly, doctor Jeff,
- 57:49Speaker 1: it's a cognitive enhancer.
- 57:50Speaker 2: Are you on that train?
- 57:52Speaker 4: I totally am. I'm a personal creatine user. We recommend
- 57:56Speaker 4: it to a lot of people. It's you know, it's
- 58:00Speaker 4: it's hard to take a lot of creatine during the day.
- 58:02Speaker 4: You have to be strategic.
- 58:04Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, perfect, you're the best.
- 58:06Speaker 1: Tell people how to connect with you and your home
- 58:08Speaker 1: address if you would.
- 58:10Speaker 4: Yeah, So listen to the U project to hear me.
- 58:15Speaker 4: That's where you find me. That's the only thing I do.
- 58:17Speaker 4: The rest of the month. I sit home and cry.
- 58:19Speaker 4: But I you look us up. Our brand is re
- 58:24Speaker 4: Celebrate our e c E L L E B R
- 58:28Speaker 4: A t E at re Clebrate reselebrate dot com. You
- 58:33Speaker 4: know what, if you put it on a social it
- 58:35Speaker 4: will pop up for the most part. So we made
- 58:38Speaker 4: up the word in sort of corner the Internet on
- 58:40Speaker 4: it and home address is right here in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
- 58:47Speaker 1: Hey, listeners, this what I'd like you to do, right
- 58:50Speaker 1: rather than doing a Q and A one.
- 58:52Speaker 2: Firstly, maybe go.
- 58:53Speaker 1: Have a look at the docs, the doc site, his background,
- 58:56Speaker 1: his bio, the work he does, so you can get
- 58:58Speaker 1: a like a a bigger understanding of what he does.
