Latest / The You Project / #1712 Our New TYP Regular - Dr. Jeffrey Gross
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I get a team. Welcome to another installment, the Bloody
- 0:03Speaker 1: You Project with Tiffany and Kulkin, Jeffrey Marcus, Robert Gross.
- 0:07Speaker 1: That's not really I just made it up, as I
- 0:09Speaker 1: do with everyone. Before we go to the doc, who's
- 0:11Speaker 1: the clearly the brainiac of the group, we'll go to
- 0:15Speaker 1: tiff who's the creative of the group. Do you like that?
- 0:18Speaker 2: It was you thinking quick on your feet there.
- 0:20Speaker 1: I was thinking quick. I was going to call you
- 0:22Speaker 1: the new spiritually enlightened since you've come back from Nepal
- 0:26Speaker 1: or India, India, India, and she's been carrying a she
- 0:30Speaker 1: got a rock in India dock and everyone else she
- 0:33Speaker 1: got a rock that is has connected her to I
- 0:36Speaker 1: don't know. Are you still carrying your rock around that
- 0:38Speaker 1: you By the way, you're not allowed to bring back
- 0:40Speaker 1: organic matter from other countries, but I won't tell the government.
- 0:45Speaker 2: Well, I've plasted it everywhere so everyone knows that I have. Yeah,
- 0:49Speaker 2: it's not in this room at the moment though normally
- 0:51Speaker 2: I've got it, you know, tucked in my top. I've
- 0:55Speaker 2: left it in my bedroom.
- 0:56Speaker 1: You could lose your shit at every moment, at any moment,
- 0:58Speaker 1: and your spiritual security blanket, the doc and I might
- 1:02Speaker 1: have to treat you in real time.
- 1:05Speaker 2: Well at least I'm in good hands.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Yeah, doctor Jeff or Jeffrey, Do I call you, Jeff
- 1:11Speaker 1: Or Jeffrey dock Jeff will do? Just phone doctor Jeff Gross.
- 1:16Speaker 1: Welcome to the You project. This could be an experience
- 1:18Speaker 1: for you. Thanks for stupidly agreeing to do it.
- 1:22Speaker 3: Thank you for having me. This is awesome. Is there?
- 1:25Speaker 1: Do you reckon? There's a a we'll go wherever we go.
- 1:27Speaker 1: But you know what's interesting is since Tiff came back
- 1:30Speaker 1: from India, if you how many weeks ago was it, Tiff?
- 1:32Speaker 2: Well, I came back on the fourth of October.
- 1:35Speaker 1: Okay, so a month and a bit and you had
- 1:37Speaker 1: like in your I don't know, just a bit of
- 1:39Speaker 1: a spiritual awakening or something. There was like an energetic
- 1:44Speaker 1: shift in you, wasn't there.
- 1:45Speaker 2: Yeah, something happened. Don't know what to even call it,
- 1:48Speaker 2: but something happened.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Do you have you ever opened the door dock on?
- 1:52Speaker 1: You know, like the not I guess almost like the placebo,
- 1:57Speaker 1: but what we think and like I feel like with
- 1:59Speaker 1: her when she carries this rock around, she's in a
- 2:02Speaker 1: bit of place. I'm pretty short ain't about the rock,
- 2:06Speaker 1: but but how she relates to the rock and the
- 2:09Speaker 1: symbolism of the rock. Does the role of the mind
- 2:13Speaker 1: play a big impact impact on our or have a
- 2:16Speaker 1: big role in our physical health and our our ability
- 2:20Speaker 1: that sty calm and heal and all that.
- 2:23Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, Although you just ruined it for for your colleague,
- 2:28Speaker 3: I think that the rock is part of it. You
- 2:32Speaker 3: attached to it. You you you open up the pathways
- 2:35Speaker 3: in the mind that connect with the brain, that deal
- 2:40Speaker 3: with so much in the body and for health. And
- 2:43Speaker 3: we we call this psychosomatic medicine, not to mean that
- 2:47Speaker 3: someone is you know, you know, conjuring up disease in
- 2:50Speaker 3: their in their thoughts. But it's the mind. It's the
- 2:53Speaker 3: mind body relationship. They are directly related by you know,
- 2:58Speaker 3: nerve fibers and neurochemicals and neurotransmitters and small peptides. And
- 3:04Speaker 3: we take that for granted. And you think about people
- 3:08Speaker 3: that might have a sixth sense about something, or feel
- 3:12Speaker 3: a change or a shift like you were talking about
- 3:14Speaker 3: our closeness or a positive energy is healing. All these
- 3:19Speaker 3: things are real. They're difficult to measure, and the longer
- 3:22Speaker 3: I practice, the more examples of that a see around me.
- 3:26Speaker 1: Yeah, we've had a guy on a couple of times
- 3:29Speaker 1: who's a genius. His name is doctor Jeffrey Redicker from
- 3:34Speaker 1: Harvard Medical School, and his apart from being a psychiatrist
- 3:39Speaker 1: and a medical doctor and a research his thing is
- 3:42Speaker 1: place ebos and spontaneous healing and all this and talking
- 3:46Speaker 1: to him about people who have recovered from and I
- 3:50Speaker 1: know it's more than just plas ebo mind body, you know,
- 3:54Speaker 1: but people who have recovered from things fully that they
- 3:57Speaker 1: should never have recovered from, and like hundreds of cases.
- 4:03Speaker 1: And he's he's obviously he's a skeptic. Like he was,
- 4:07Speaker 1: he did not want to get involved in this, and
- 4:09Speaker 1: it just he kept coming across these different cases where
- 4:13Speaker 1: he went, all right, I'll look into it because it
- 4:16Speaker 1: makes no medical sense, it makes no logical sense. And yeah,
- 4:20Speaker 1: just I still think that there's so much that we
- 4:24Speaker 1: don't understand about. There's a lot we do understand, but
- 4:27Speaker 1: there's still a lot that we don't understand about the
- 4:29Speaker 1: way that the body can heal itself and the way
- 4:31Speaker 1: that body, you know, using different modalities and methods, which
- 4:35Speaker 1: we'll talk about today. And yeah, it's it's still there's
- 4:38Speaker 1: probably still as much that we don't know as we do, maybe.
- 4:42Speaker 3: A complete agreement on my end. And that's one of
- 4:45Speaker 3: the reasons that I originally went into neuroscience and neurosurgery,
- 4:50Speaker 3: and because there was so much to learn that we
- 4:53Speaker 3: didn't know, and I wanted to be part of that.
- 4:55Speaker 3: I want to be at the tip of the spirit.
- 4:57Speaker 1: What did you think you were going to be growing up?
- 5:00Speaker 1: What did you when you were ten, twelve, fourteen years old?
- 5:03Speaker 1: Running around? What did you want to be?
- 5:05Speaker 3: Yeah, it was always going to be a physician, you know,
- 5:11Speaker 3: a highly trained, specialized surgeon of some kind. And the
- 5:17Speaker 3: neuroscience part was there and it was solid. By the
- 5:21Speaker 3: time I got to medical school, I already knew it.
- 5:23Speaker 3: That was just a stepping stone to where I am now.
- 5:26Speaker 3: I already knew what I wanted to do.
- 5:27Speaker 1: That's amazing to have such clarity uncertainty at what did
- 5:32Speaker 1: you have? Anything like that? Tiff at ten twelve?
- 5:35Speaker 2: Still looking for it? Mate?
- 5:36Speaker 1: I think, are you're still trying to find you thing?
- 5:38Speaker 1: You're still trying to find your purpose?
- 5:40Speaker 3: I keep asking the rock.
- 5:42Speaker 1: Maybe you need to look under a bigger rock or
- 5:44Speaker 1: a different rock. At my when I was ten, twelve, fourteen,
- 5:47Speaker 1: or when I was fourteen. All I hoped when I
- 5:49Speaker 1: was grown up was that I wouldn't be a virgin
- 5:51Speaker 1: until I was forty. That was like my main ambition,
- 5:55Speaker 1: you know. I mean, sure, I could have had a
- 5:58Speaker 1: more lofty goal.
- 6:00Speaker 3: What's that going for you?
- 6:02Speaker 1: And it didn't work. I was forty two, But anyway,
- 6:06Speaker 1: I may not close close. I was close, all right?
- 6:08Speaker 1: So so you founded an organization called re Celebrate? Did
- 6:13Speaker 1: I get that right?
- 6:14Speaker 3: You did tell us.
- 6:15Speaker 1: About that, like, what do you do? What's the what's
- 6:19Speaker 1: behind it?
- 6:21Speaker 3: Well, Craig, I was practicing traditional neurosurgery. I'm a Spine
- 6:26Speaker 3: Fellowship trained doctor. I was dealing with a lot of
- 6:28Speaker 3: neck and back injuries and disc problems and and you know,
- 6:32Speaker 3: pinch nerves and that kind of thing. And my patients,
- 6:36Speaker 3: you know, continue to influence me and said, you know, Doc,
- 6:39Speaker 3: we don't we don't want surgery yet. But all the
- 6:43Speaker 3: other things we tried weren't enough. We still have issues,
- 6:47Speaker 3: but we're not ready for surgery. And I said, great,
- 6:49Speaker 3: because surgery should be the absolute last thing we consider.
- 6:52Speaker 3: And enough of them said how about this this stem
- 6:55Speaker 3: cell business? And we keep hearing about this sexy phrase
- 6:58Speaker 3: stem cells. What's that all? And instead of going to
- 7:02Speaker 3: the annual, you know, bow tie wearing neurosurgery conferences where
- 7:08Speaker 3: they drink the same kool aid year after year and
- 7:11Speaker 3: say the same things and pat themselves on the back again,
- 7:14Speaker 3: I said, you know what I'm I'm going to open
- 7:16Speaker 3: my mind and get into some of these stem cell meetings.
- 7:19Speaker 3: So I started retraining and re educating about six seven
- 7:22Speaker 3: years ago, and I did it to help my spine patients.
- 7:26Speaker 3: But it's blossomed into so much more that I have
- 7:30Speaker 3: sort of a renewed energy, renewed purpose in my version
- 7:35Speaker 3: two point zero of my practice, and we renamed it
- 7:38Speaker 3: re Celebrate because we are celebrating the renewal of your cells.
- 7:43Speaker 1: Amazing, is it? It is interesting the way that when
- 7:48Speaker 1: you know I speak, I speak a bit about cults
- 7:51Speaker 1: of thought, which is any group where to be in
- 7:54Speaker 1: our group, you've got to think, you've got a line,
- 7:56Speaker 1: You've got to conform, don't ask questions, definitely, don't agree
- 8:01Speaker 1: with the protocol or the ideology or the philosophy. And
- 8:05Speaker 1: if you don't agree with everything, you can't be in
- 8:07Speaker 1: our group. So essentially it's a cult of thought, right,
- 8:10Speaker 1: that's how you belong. And it seems like me and
- 8:13Speaker 1: not just with surgeons or neurosurgeons, but you know, in nutrition,
- 8:17Speaker 1: in exercise, in religion, in you know, a million different things.
- 8:22Speaker 1: It's like you need to part of the terms of
- 8:27Speaker 1: agreement in some groups. Don't think, don't question, don't invent
- 8:32Speaker 1: the wheel. We've already invented it. We know how this works.
- 8:35Speaker 1: There is no new information, there is no new truth.
- 8:40Speaker 1: We are the truth, right. That must have taken some
- 8:44Speaker 1: courage for you to go listen, dudes, I'm just going
- 8:46Speaker 1: to go over here and check this out. I look,
- 8:50Speaker 1: I know I'm not you know, but that must have
- 8:52Speaker 1: been hard for you.
- 8:55Speaker 3: Well, I think I was always wanting to push the
- 8:58Speaker 3: envelope on things, so it wasn't difficult for me personally.
- 9:01Speaker 3: But I still see how difficult it is when I
- 9:04Speaker 3: talk to colleagues from the old cult.
- 9:09Speaker 1: The echoed chimber of the echoed chimber of neurosurgery.
- 9:13Speaker 3: All right, and and and how they get all scared
- 9:16Speaker 3: and like you did something different, you know, I get it.
- 9:21Speaker 3: There There is the the self perpetuation of the consumption
- 9:26Speaker 3: of the kool aid, and it is very strong and
- 9:28Speaker 3: very thick.
- 9:30Speaker 1: This is a very unrelated question, not directly related anyway.
- 9:34Speaker 1: I hyperbaric chimber too therapy. Do you have you? Do you?
- 9:39Speaker 1: What do you think of that?
- 9:41Speaker 3: It's fantastic for for some very specific things, such as
- 9:47Speaker 3: UH accelerating the healing process in someone who is maybe
- 9:52Speaker 3: not able to heal as rapidly due to age or
- 9:55Speaker 3: some condition. It is of course essential for someone with
- 10:00Speaker 3: a decompression sickness like a scuba diving accident something like that,
- 10:04Speaker 3: and then healing from wounds, healing from some kind of
- 10:10Speaker 3: injury like a heart attack or a stroke. It's wonderful.
- 10:14Speaker 3: It's also, interestingly help suppress cancer cell growth. Cancer cells
- 10:21Speaker 3: do not like that amount of oxygen. Some people will
- 10:25Speaker 3: tell you it's a great maintenance thing to do. I'm
- 10:28Speaker 3: not a big believer in that, because the very reason
- 10:32Speaker 3: that the Canyon Marathon runners come to our Colorado at
- 10:37Speaker 3: the mile High to train is because they want to
- 10:41Speaker 3: experience hormesis and meaning they want to experience a little
- 10:47Speaker 3: stress in their cells to build resilience, and in the
- 10:51Speaker 3: physical sense that can be done through hot sauna, cold plunge,
- 10:56Speaker 3: high intensity interval exercise, fast all those things are healthy biohacks. Well,
- 11:04Speaker 3: it turns out low oxygen, the opposite of hyperbaric oxygen,
- 11:10Speaker 3: does the same thing. So I don't want my cells
- 11:12Speaker 3: getting lazy. So I wouldn't go in it as a
- 11:14Speaker 3: matter of routine, but I would use it strategically.
- 11:19Speaker 1: I went to Speaking of Colorado, I went to Colorado
- 11:22Speaker 1: a few years ago to do a gig at a
- 11:24Speaker 1: place called Breckenridge.
- 11:27Speaker 3: Is that right? Did I get that right? It's a
- 11:29Speaker 3: wonderful mountain resort.
- 11:31Speaker 1: Yeah, a resort, and I can't remember exactly, but I
- 11:33Speaker 1: feel like it's ten or twelve thousand feet above sea level.
- 11:37Speaker 1: And this is what I did tiff because I'm a genius.
- 11:41Speaker 1: First day there, so I got in first day when
- 11:44Speaker 1: I'm going to go for a run, Well, I went,
- 11:47Speaker 1: I'm going to run a quick five case. I ran
- 11:51Speaker 1: about five hundred meters. My heart nearly came out of
- 11:54Speaker 1: my mouth. I'm like, oh, yeah, that's right, there's not
- 11:58Speaker 1: so much oxygen up here. It was just like, I
- 12:01Speaker 1: literally couldn't run one kilometer that's zero point six of
- 12:04Speaker 1: a mile. Doc, I couldn't run. I'm like, what is
- 12:08Speaker 1: wrong with me? I'm one hundred years old. All of
- 12:10Speaker 1: a sudden, it is it isn't. I mean, I know
- 12:13Speaker 1: this is an obvious thing to say, but when you
- 12:15Speaker 1: actually experience it, rather than just the theory of it,
- 12:18Speaker 1: you go, well, I've gone from sea level to twelve
- 12:20Speaker 1: thousand feet. I don't know how much oxygen. I think
- 12:23Speaker 1: there's like twenty point nine three percent or something at
- 12:26Speaker 1: sea level. I don't know what there is at twelve thousand,
- 12:29Speaker 1: but not that much. I can assure you. That was
- 12:32Speaker 1: so different and so difficult. Yeah, I don't know how
- 12:37Speaker 1: long it takes to adapt and adjust, all right. So
- 12:39Speaker 1: when you walked through the stem the stem celled door
- 12:43Speaker 1: for the first time, what did you like? What surprised you?
- 12:47Speaker 1: What did you learn? What did you come to understand?
- 12:51Speaker 3: Well, a lot has happened in the time I jumped
- 12:56Speaker 3: back into this, from the time I had my undergraduate years,
- 13:00Speaker 3: because I did have education in that field, but I
- 13:04Speaker 3: had disregarded it for so long because I was busy
- 13:07Speaker 3: being a spine surgeon neurosurgeon. So coming back I noticed
- 13:12Speaker 3: a lot of great work had been done. Most of
- 13:14Speaker 3: that work is done in Asia and in Europe and
- 13:20Speaker 3: in North America. We are behind the game we're just
- 13:24Speaker 3: playing catch up. But a lot of the protocols I
- 13:27Speaker 3: follow are based on fifteen and twenty year follow up
- 13:31Speaker 3: studies in Europe, for example, But China, South Korea are
- 13:35Speaker 3: really their labs are really pushing the envelope. So I
- 13:39Speaker 3: noticed there are a lot of applicable biotechnologies in the
- 13:43Speaker 3: stem cell realm that had amazing benefits that I wish
- 13:48Speaker 3: I had employed years earlier.
- 13:51Speaker 1: Could you try to so for my largely non scientific audio,
- 14:00Speaker 1: could you try to explain in simple terms. You know
- 14:04Speaker 1: how it works, and I know it works in a
- 14:06Speaker 1: multitude of ways, and there's a multitude of applications, but
- 14:09Speaker 1: could you kind of craygify it for us?
- 14:14Speaker 3: All right? Of course? So, so you know, stem cells
- 14:18Speaker 3: are the cells from which all of our bodies cells stem.
- 14:24Speaker 3: So you when you're formed, you're you're a single cell.
- 14:30Speaker 3: You're you're you're an embryo, and you're a fetus inside
- 14:34Speaker 3: your mother's womb. All those cells are stem cells, and
- 14:36Speaker 3: they're powerful. They can divide and create organs and tissues
- 14:40Speaker 3: and bones and limbs and brains and everything. When you're born,
- 14:46Speaker 3: you still have stem cells. They're not quite as powerful
- 14:49Speaker 3: as those that can create a limb, although I hope
- 14:53Speaker 3: we figured that out some days so we could regrow
- 14:55Speaker 3: a limb. But those cells are still useful in growing
- 15:01Speaker 3: and developing a baby into an adult and even as
- 15:07Speaker 3: an adult. We harbor stem cells within us, mostly in
- 15:12Speaker 3: our bone marrow and some fat in other areas, and
- 15:15Speaker 3: that those stem cells are used when called upon upon repair.
- 15:20Speaker 3: For example, you hurt yourself and you need to know
- 15:23Speaker 3: heal a bone or heal a cut or something, or
- 15:26Speaker 3: you know liver damage and you need to replace those
- 15:30Speaker 3: liver cells. Those cells come in and help stimulate the
- 15:33Speaker 3: area for healing and repair. They also have maintenance functions,
- 15:37Speaker 3: but as we age, those functions aren't as good. We
- 15:41Speaker 3: get exposed to the world. There's all kinds of inflammation
- 15:44Speaker 3: in the world. There's questionable things in our water and
- 15:48Speaker 3: our food, especially here in America. There's that, you know,
- 15:54Speaker 3: electromagnetic fields, all kinds of things, maybe even negative thoughts, neurostress.
- 16:00Speaker 3: You have a relation here. So our stem cells get
- 16:05Speaker 3: exhausted and then we develop diseases and we age rapidly,
- 16:08Speaker 3: and then the end is near. So the entire field
- 16:13Speaker 3: of stem cell medacine is to take advantage of what
- 16:15Speaker 3: we've learned about what these cells can do for us,
- 16:19Speaker 3: and employ them earlier upon need generally speaking, and.
- 16:25Speaker 1: When you employ them, what does that mean? What is
- 16:28Speaker 1: does this get injected into my body? Do you like? Yeah,
- 16:34Speaker 1: what does that mean? Practically? If I have stem cell therapy,
- 16:38Speaker 1: what might the experience be?
- 16:40Speaker 3: Well, short of stem cells, there are many things you
- 16:43Speaker 3: can do in your life, in your lifestyle that can
- 16:47Speaker 3: improve your stem cells. So you can eat properly and
- 16:51Speaker 3: get your fruits and vegetables and sleep, have great sleep hygiene,
- 16:55Speaker 3: and learn how to meditate and have mindfulness and yoga
- 16:59Speaker 3: and all kinds of things that are so good for
- 17:01Speaker 3: your own stem cell population. But when that's not enough,
- 17:04Speaker 3: you can actually tap into whether it's your own stem
- 17:08Speaker 3: cells or donated stem cells, and have them reemployed. For example,
- 17:13Speaker 3: I do a lot of spine and joint work, So
- 17:15Speaker 3: one comes to me with a degenerated knee. For example,
- 17:19Speaker 3: they have osteoarthritis of the knee. They have a bone
- 17:22Speaker 3: on bone, and the orthopedic surgeon is telling them, well,
- 17:25Speaker 3: the next thing on my menu would be a joint replacement.
- 17:29Speaker 3: But I like to catch that patient and then we
- 17:31Speaker 3: can inject under a protocol we learn from Europe stem
- 17:36Speaker 3: cells or stem cell like biologics into the area surrounding
- 17:40Speaker 3: the joint to help that joint repair and regenerate and
- 17:45Speaker 3: heal like a younger person.
- 17:47Speaker 1: If this is what I need from my left shoulder, yeah,
- 17:51Speaker 1: this is what I need. I'm gonna have to flow
- 17:53Speaker 1: to bloody America.
- 17:55Speaker 3: Yep.
- 17:55Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm not even kiddendoc my left shoulder
- 17:58Speaker 1: is it is two hundred and thirty five years old
- 18:01Speaker 1: right now. I had an accident and then Jim and I.
- 18:05Speaker 1: It's a mess in there. But anyway, enough about my bullshit. Yeah,
- 18:11Speaker 1: so what about things like I don't even know if
- 18:14Speaker 1: therese are dumb questions because I'm not anything like an
- 18:17Speaker 1: expert in this. So if I ask a dumb question, go,
- 18:19Speaker 1: that's a dumb question, right. What's the potential application for
- 18:25Speaker 1: the kind of work that you do for paraplegics and
- 18:30Speaker 1: quadriplegics being potentially keeled to some level like that? That
- 18:35Speaker 1: must be, that must be in the thinking it's coming.
- 18:40Speaker 3: There's a wonderful study out of China that happened in
- 18:45Speaker 3: the last year or two where they took some severe
- 18:48Speaker 3: paraplegics like they had minimal function in the below the
- 18:53Speaker 3: part of the spine, and they actually did a surgery,
- 18:57Speaker 3: they cleaned up scar tissue and they imply did stem
- 19:00Speaker 3: cells and they had some amazing results. Now that's that's
- 19:04Speaker 3: a very early study and we're going to learn from that.
- 19:07Speaker 3: It's not enough to go on yet, but we now
- 19:11Speaker 3: have the ability to study this further. Right, that's that's
- 19:15Speaker 3: enough to light the fire. So it's coming.
- 19:18Speaker 1: Wow, that is I wonder what the timeline is on that.
- 19:21Speaker 1: That's for a lot of people. We've got a friend
- 19:23Speaker 1: of the show, Joel Sarti who comes on semi Regularly's
- 19:28Speaker 1: who's a quad who fell down? So he was serving
- 19:32Speaker 1: in the military, came home from Afghanistan, went to a
- 19:35Speaker 1: party and a balcony broke or something. Anyway, he ended
- 19:41Speaker 1: up in a wheelchair. Well at this stage for life.
- 19:46Speaker 1: But when I hear news like that, I get excited
- 19:49Speaker 1: for my friends who who've got spinal cord injuries and
- 19:53Speaker 1: you know, even TBIs. So, could you give us again
- 19:59Speaker 1: another layman kind of explanation of and I know it's
- 20:03Speaker 1: not one thing, it's a few things, but regenerative medicine,
- 20:08Speaker 1: what does that mean?
- 20:10Speaker 3: Regenerative medicine can be used interchangeably with the phrase stem
- 20:16Speaker 3: cell medicine. Regenerative medicine is based upon what we've learned
- 20:20Speaker 3: from stem cells, but stem cells are not the only application.
- 20:24Speaker 3: We use that phrase because people have heard of it.
- 20:28Speaker 3: For example, there's something called platelet rich plasma or PRP
- 20:32Speaker 3: that's in this field. There's something else called exosomes, which
- 20:36Speaker 3: are small signaling molecules from stem cells. So stem cells
- 20:41Speaker 3: themselves are not the only aspect of regeneritive medicine.
- 20:47Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, why do you Why do you think that
- 20:53Speaker 1: that in medicine and a lot of other fields, But
- 20:57Speaker 1: we are so hesitant or a reluctant to consider new things.
- 21:03Speaker 1: Is it ego? Is it? What is it when somebody goes, hey, guys,
- 21:07Speaker 1: I know we've been doing it this way for ninety
- 21:09Speaker 1: four years. I get it, But how about this? How
- 21:13Speaker 1: about what is what is the what is the barrier there?
- 21:17Speaker 1: Is it because it might cost big farm of money?
- 21:19Speaker 1: Is it because of people's egos? Is it because people
- 21:22Speaker 1: hate change? Is it? Or is it some of it
- 21:25Speaker 1: or all of it?
- 21:27Speaker 3: I think it's all those things. And it's the way
- 21:29Speaker 3: people are, you know, hardwired, you know the things you do.
- 21:33Speaker 3: Often are the things you keep doing more and more,
- 21:35Speaker 3: and you know, you get those neural pathways set and
- 21:39Speaker 3: it's hard to break out of them. And like you said,
- 21:42Speaker 3: there's that cult behavior, that thinking behavior, and you know
- 21:47Speaker 3: there's that self you know, affirmation. Oh I keep doing this,
- 21:54Speaker 3: this is the right thing. My friends are doing it.
- 21:56Speaker 3: It's the right thing. We'll keep doing this. It's the
- 21:57Speaker 3: right thing, even though there might be a better idea somewhere.
- 22:00Speaker 3: So it's all those things. There are a lot of
- 22:02Speaker 3: egos and medicine surgeons, you know, especially in my field.
- 22:07Speaker 3: And then I think you're I think you're right. There
- 22:11Speaker 3: are government and economic pressures, Yeah, big pharma, And you
- 22:18Speaker 3: know it's the tail wagging the dog, right, they need
- 22:19Speaker 3: a disease so they can have a pill to fix it.
- 22:22Speaker 3: So we have these new disease codes, yes, so that
- 22:25Speaker 3: you can pay for a pill. And then why is
- 22:29Speaker 3: healthcare so expensive? Because it's sick care. It's a game.
- 22:32Speaker 1: And also I think like when when you have believed
- 22:39Speaker 1: something for a long time, or when what you do
- 22:44Speaker 1: and the way that you do it is intertwined with
- 22:47Speaker 1: your identity, you know, so and that becomes so if
- 22:52Speaker 1: all of a sudden you know what I believe and
- 22:54Speaker 1: what I think, and my protocol and even my theology
- 22:57Speaker 1: or philosophy or practice or whatever. I've been doing it
- 23:01Speaker 1: this way for a very long time, and my sense
- 23:05Speaker 1: of self is tied into that. Then if that's wrong,
- 23:09Speaker 1: I don't know who I am, so that can't be wrong.
- 23:11Speaker 1: So you're wrong and you can fuck off. Yep, do
- 23:14Speaker 1: you know what I mean?
- 23:15Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, the which probably ties into the ego, right.
- 23:18Speaker 3: Your ego does not like to be questions. So if
- 23:22Speaker 3: you if you create your own set of rules, there's
- 23:27Speaker 3: no good way unless you're really open minded and looking
- 23:30Speaker 3: at those rules and rethinking them and reevaluating them on
- 23:33Speaker 3: a regular basis.
- 23:36Speaker 1: I was, I'm trying to find something now, which is
- 23:38Speaker 1: a terrible thing to do in real time. I put
- 23:41Speaker 1: up this thing esday Doc, and I said, if pill
- 23:43Speaker 1: existed that can do what strength training can, it would
- 23:46Speaker 1: be the biggest selling drug in the world. And I wrote,
- 23:49Speaker 1: increased muscle strength and size, build strong and more resilient muscles.
- 23:52Speaker 1: Bone density reduces the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Hands
- 23:58Speaker 1: has metabolic right calorie burn even at rest, promotes fat loss,
- 24:01Speaker 1: helves reducing body fat, preserving muscle, boost functional fitness, reduces
- 24:05Speaker 1: injury risk, improves posture, enhances mental health, sports cardio Vashcaloue
- 24:09Speaker 1: like this whole raft of things. That's obviously I'm an
- 24:13Speaker 1: exercise physiologist, some bias, right, But if I invented a
- 24:17Speaker 1: drug that can do that shit, I'd be a billionaire, right.
- 24:22Speaker 1: But people are not other than people like me, are
- 24:26Speaker 1: not running around promoting that because it doesn't make anyone. Well,
- 24:30Speaker 1: it makes a few people a few dollars, but you
- 24:32Speaker 1: know what I mean, It's like, this is not a
- 24:35Speaker 1: popular message with some people.
- 24:39Speaker 3: Well, it's a difficult message. You know, we have a population,
- 24:44Speaker 3: particularly here on this side of the globe, of people
- 24:46Speaker 3: who don't want to get off the couch, so they
- 24:49Speaker 3: would take your billion dollar pill. And you know, you
- 24:53Speaker 3: think about if I can tap into what you said there,
- 24:56Speaker 3: You're one hundred percent correct when we look at longevity,
- 24:59Speaker 3: because you can't go into regenerative medicine and not be
- 25:02Speaker 3: in the anti aging space, the healthful longevity. Yes, when
- 25:06Speaker 3: you look at two things that we know that correlate
- 25:09Speaker 3: with longevity, yep. One is muscle mass, lean muscle mass,
- 25:14Speaker 3: and two in bone density, and if you're doing weight
- 25:18Speaker 3: bearing exercise, you're taking care of bone. And why why
- 25:22Speaker 3: is that? Because, as I said earlier, the largest store
- 25:25Speaker 3: of your own stem cells, your own youth supporting particles,
- 25:31Speaker 3: are in your bone marrow, and you support your bone.
- 25:38Speaker 3: You're supporting your marrow, and you're supporting your stem cells.
- 25:41Speaker 3: So they will help keep you young, theyre help prepare you.
- 25:43Speaker 3: They all prevent problems. So exercise for life. Exercise stimulates
- 25:50Speaker 3: the muscle mass, the biggest source of minochondria, which are
- 25:54Speaker 3: kind of a cell within a cell. You got to
- 25:56Speaker 3: take care of them. And use of muscles releases myo coines.
- 26:01Speaker 3: Have you heard that term before? These are small peptides
- 26:04Speaker 3: made by muscles that help circulate around the body. They
- 26:08Speaker 3: help prevent dementia, they help stimulate hot health. There now,
- 26:13Speaker 3: so that billion dollar pill is probably going to be
- 26:16Speaker 3: a myokine. You're probably going to do a myokine now.
- 26:21Speaker 1: It's it's and I think that apart from the fact
- 26:25Speaker 1: that some people don't want you selling the exercise pill
- 26:28Speaker 1: because it doesn't serve their agenda or their commercial bottom line,
- 26:32Speaker 1: of course, and I understand that because that's how commerce works.
- 26:37Speaker 1: But The other thing too, is that exercises hard and
- 26:41Speaker 1: pills are easy.
- 26:44Speaker 3: True.
- 26:45Speaker 1: You know, it's like we like the idea of change, doc,
- 26:48Speaker 1: but we don't love the process, like the idea of
- 26:52Speaker 1: being fit, lean, strong, functional, healthy? Love that love that. Okay,
- 26:57Speaker 1: here's what you need to do to create that?
- 26:59Speaker 3: Nah?
- 26:59Speaker 1: Fuck that I wanted to do that?
- 27:02Speaker 3: Well, well, this is this is philosophically we're talking about.
- 27:07Speaker 3: Is progress efficiency?
- 27:09Speaker 2: Right?
- 27:10Speaker 3: We become more efficient. We have washing machines and uh,
- 27:13Speaker 3: you know, computers that do our calculations, and now we
- 27:15Speaker 3: have AI that can even do a lot of thinking
- 27:18Speaker 3: for us. So so why not not, you know, take
- 27:21Speaker 3: a pill instead of the actual exercise. And I understand
- 27:26Speaker 3: that there's this mindset of progress, but we probably need
- 27:30Speaker 3: to redefine that because, uh, there's no better muscular stimulation
- 27:35Speaker 3: than that which comes within neuro muscular component, meaning the
- 27:39Speaker 3: brain has to send the signal to the muscle. You
- 27:41Speaker 3: don't get the same kind of growth and development and
- 27:45Speaker 3: maintenance of a muscle, uh without without stimulating it directly.
- 27:51Speaker 1: We we seem I'm I'm generalizing here, but to me anyway,
- 27:55Speaker 1: it seems like in general terms, a lot of us
- 27:59Speaker 1: are more reactive rather than proactive when it comes to
- 28:02Speaker 1: just anything health, you know, mental health, physical health. Like
- 28:06Speaker 1: we wait till something breaks and we go, oh my god,
- 28:09Speaker 1: you know, rather than saying, look, I'm thirty and I'm
- 28:12Speaker 1: in relatively good shape, maybe I should get in a
- 28:15Speaker 1: bit better shape and create some habits and an operating
- 28:20Speaker 1: system and a protocol that's going to work. You know, food, exercise, lifestyle, sleep,
- 28:24Speaker 1: all of those variables that impact the stuff we're talking about.
- 28:27Speaker 1: What if I created now at thirty before it's dire straits.
- 28:31Speaker 1: What if I created an operating system now that might
- 28:35Speaker 1: work well into my eighties and nineties, Yeah, then you would.
- 28:40Speaker 3: You would be smart to do it. You would be
- 28:43Speaker 3: ahead of the curve. And we need to teach these
- 28:46Speaker 3: habits to the kids like we did seventy five years ago. Right,
- 28:52Speaker 3: we learned this in school. You learn to exercise and
- 28:54Speaker 3: be healthy, and now you know, it's it's a very
- 28:56Speaker 3: different thing, at least here in the States.
- 28:59Speaker 1: So I always talk about lifelong learning, and you seem
- 29:02Speaker 1: to be a lifelong learnable. You are a lifelong learner.
- 29:05Speaker 1: So what are you learning at the moment and what's
- 29:08Speaker 1: exciting you at the moment? Like, what has your attention?
- 29:12Speaker 3: So these two things sort of overlap. It's what's excites
- 29:16Speaker 3: me and what I'm learning about is how we can
- 29:19Speaker 3: use select aspects of regeneritive medicine to improve our immune
- 29:26Speaker 3: system to fight cancer. And wouldn't that be wonderful to
- 29:30Speaker 3: have these natural biological approaches to cancer as opposed to
- 29:35Speaker 3: chemotherapies and radiations and other harmful approaches, notwithstanding the idea
- 29:40Speaker 3: that some of those work right now and it's the
- 29:41Speaker 3: state of the art, yes, it could be better options.
- 29:46Speaker 1: And where is the profession at or the research at
- 29:51Speaker 1: in terms of that becoming more of a curiosity or
- 29:55Speaker 1: a thing that we're interested into that maybe being you know,
- 29:59Speaker 1: we out in some way or you know, practically adapted
- 30:03Speaker 1: and adopted.
- 30:05Speaker 3: Well, like any things, you have early adopters, And we'd
- 30:09Speaker 3: like to call ourselves biohackers who try things. And when
- 30:14Speaker 3: you have cancer or a loved one has cancer, you
- 30:18Speaker 3: know you're you're open minded, you're willing to try things, right,
- 30:21Speaker 3: it's called compassionate use. So as we're able to get
- 30:24Speaker 3: our hands on some of these selective regenitive biologics, we
- 30:31Speaker 3: are there are already people trying these out on one
- 30:35Speaker 3: off situations, So there there aren't really good controlled studies yet.
- 30:40Speaker 3: But you know, like anything, it's got to start with
- 30:44Speaker 3: an observation here and there before a study is born.
- 30:46Speaker 3: So I think we're within a few years of seeing
- 30:50Speaker 3: some of these. We already have some aspects of it.
- 30:53Speaker 3: There's something called car T cell c r SHT, which
- 30:57Speaker 3: is a mechanism of using the immune system to enhance
- 31:01Speaker 3: it to go after cancer. But I think it's going
- 31:04Speaker 3: to get easier and better.
- 31:07Speaker 1: Is there a country, doctor Jeff, that is kind of
- 31:12Speaker 1: at the forefront. Is there one country in the world that's,
- 31:15Speaker 1: for one of a better term, the most open minded?
- 31:18Speaker 3: Well, I don't know that I call China open minded.
- 31:21Speaker 1: As a country, right right, but they.
- 31:25Speaker 3: Certainly blaze the trail in trying things, and all the
- 31:32Speaker 3: early work of something usually comes out of China.
- 31:38Speaker 1: Interesting if we were looking at like overall health outcomes
- 31:42Speaker 1: for you know, the general population. And again this is
- 31:46Speaker 1: I've asked this to a few people, and it's just
- 31:48Speaker 1: a guesstimate. I don't expect you know, anything necessarily research base,
- 31:54Speaker 1: But how much do you think it's about what I
- 31:57Speaker 1: was born with, my genetics? And how much is about
- 32:00Speaker 1: my you know, my lifestyle choices, habits, behaviors, you know,
- 32:04Speaker 1: self regulation, food, all that. What do you think the
- 32:07Speaker 1: ratio is all the percentages?
- 32:10Speaker 3: Well, had you asked me this ten or more years ago,
- 32:13Speaker 3: I would have said mostly the genetic component, mostly what
- 32:17Speaker 3: you were born with. Yes, nature, But I think we've
- 32:21Speaker 3: learned through a lot of the biological age clocks, the
- 32:26Speaker 3: you know horrorvauth work, the epigenetic work. It's lifestyle choices.
- 32:33Speaker 3: Nurture has a bigger component in how our health is
- 32:38Speaker 3: and how our longevity, our healthy longevity goes.
- 32:43Speaker 1: I feel like, I don't know if it's just that
- 32:46Speaker 1: I'm paying more attention or it's getting more airtime. But
- 32:50Speaker 1: when I was a kid, which was two hundred and
- 32:52Speaker 1: thirteen years ago, like there was not obviously there wasn't
- 32:56Speaker 1: the same level of discussion around mental health that there
- 32:59Speaker 1: is now, which of there should be. But it seems
- 33:02Speaker 1: like eight out of ten people have in inverted commas
- 33:07Speaker 1: have anxiety, right, and just I'm interested in like the relationship,
- 33:15Speaker 1: but like because anxiety has an impact on our physiology, right,
- 33:19Speaker 1: and you know everything from you know, heart rate and
- 33:23Speaker 1: blood pressure and endocrime system and nervous system and all
- 33:27Speaker 1: of that. Talk to us a little bit about your
- 33:30Speaker 1: thinking around anxiety and the impact on health. And I
- 33:33Speaker 1: don't know what we might because I would say, if
- 33:35Speaker 1: twenty thousand people listen to this today, eight ten thousand
- 33:38Speaker 1: of them deal with anxiety, if not regularly, then semi regularly.
- 33:43Speaker 1: What are your thoughts around that?
- 33:45Speaker 3: Yeah, I think and even some of those that aren't
- 33:47Speaker 3: dealing with it often may have a subclinical variety, meaning
- 33:52Speaker 3: they don't feel the symptoms of it, but they're having
- 33:55Speaker 3: elevated cortisol levels, which is the stress hormone. Uh. There is,
- 34:02Speaker 3: you know, the brain is current, is constantly stimulated. There is.
- 34:06Speaker 3: You've got smartphones with so much data flashed in front
- 34:11Speaker 3: of you. Uh, a lot of this data is lit up,
- 34:14Speaker 3: it's in it's in bright lights and in screens like
- 34:17Speaker 3: we're using right now to have this broadcast. Yes, and
- 34:21Speaker 3: it's it's you know, our nervous system was was made
- 34:26Speaker 3: for you know, light and dark cycle sun and you know, daytime,
- 34:30Speaker 3: night time, and the the cortisol is supposed to shut
- 34:33Speaker 3: off when the when the sun goes down, and uh,
- 34:37Speaker 3: we're supposed to get restorative sleep. Most people with a
- 34:40Speaker 3: level of anxiety from all the stress during the day,
- 34:43Speaker 3: and not just like stress from work and family, but
- 34:46Speaker 3: just the the bombardment of neural stimulus in your eye,
- 34:52Speaker 3: Uh cause us to be unable to settle down and
- 34:55Speaker 3: get into that mindful, meditative, uh deep relaxed date to
- 35:00Speaker 3: get good sleep hygiene. So our sleep is not as good.
- 35:03Speaker 3: So I think anxiety is a product of the mass
- 35:10Speaker 3: of information, the speed of information, and the format in
- 35:15Speaker 3: which it's coming. And the one simple thing people can
- 35:20Speaker 3: do is just shut it off when the sun goes down.
- 35:23Speaker 3: You know, you can read a book, you can talk,
- 35:26Speaker 3: you can listen to music, but don't you know, turn
- 35:29Speaker 3: off the computers, the smartphones, the screens. And I'm guilty
- 35:32Speaker 3: of it too, Craig, I'll admit it right here. You know,
- 35:36Speaker 3: I'm on my phone sometimes. But we need to really,
- 35:40Speaker 3: really relax. And that doesn't mean continue to stimulate our
- 35:46Speaker 3: nervous system when we're trying to relax.
- 35:49Speaker 1: Yeah, think about how we live now with all of
- 35:54Speaker 1: the racesources and tools and tech and you know, like
- 35:58Speaker 1: hop a vigilance around bloody, you know, all of these,
- 36:01Speaker 1: as you said, these inbound stimuli. And if I don't
- 36:04Speaker 1: know we've been around three hundred thousand years or something
- 36:08Speaker 1: as a species, depending on what you believe. But for
- 36:11Speaker 1: nearly all of that, we didn't have the stuff that
- 36:14Speaker 1: we currently have, Like for ninety nine point nine percent
- 36:17Speaker 1: of mankind's journey, human kind's journey, like, we didn't have
- 36:22Speaker 1: all the shit that we have now that can create
- 36:25Speaker 1: all of these problems. And you know, but and now
- 36:31Speaker 1: we're having children born into a world where they've never
- 36:35Speaker 1: known anything else, Like they're literally handed an iPhone or
- 36:39Speaker 1: a tablet at twelve months and they're learning to navigate
- 36:45Speaker 1: technology at one year old or eighteen months old because
- 36:50Speaker 1: it you know, and I'm not a parent, so there's
- 36:52Speaker 1: no judgment here, but it's almost like the impromptu babysitter.
- 36:58Speaker 1: And I understand that there's no judgment than that, but
- 37:00Speaker 1: it's like, you think the world is the world is
- 37:04Speaker 1: not what it once was. It's so different. And I
- 37:06Speaker 1: know that's an obvious thing to say, but it's been
- 37:08Speaker 1: an exponential kind of change, hasn't.
- 37:11Speaker 3: It agree completely? You know, you go back one hundred,
- 37:17Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty years and we didn't have anything, right,
- 37:20Speaker 3: We didn't have electricity, so we sat on the campfire
- 37:23Speaker 3: or your stove or your fireplace, and you went to
- 37:27Speaker 3: bed and you rested, you really rested. You didn't have
- 37:31Speaker 3: much to worry about it.
- 37:33Speaker 1: And you think about that one hundred and fifty years
- 37:35Speaker 1: ago version of us, the thousand year ago version of
- 37:39Speaker 1: us was kind of not that different, and the two
- 37:42Speaker 1: thousand year ago version not that different, you know. One
- 37:45Speaker 1: hundred and fifty years ago, like you said, no electricity,
- 37:48Speaker 1: virtually none of the drugs we currently have, no motor vehicles,
- 37:52Speaker 1: no planes, no technology as such, you know. And then
- 37:57Speaker 1: in the last one hundred and fifty years or thereabouts,
- 38:00Speaker 1: the world has changed more than in the three hundred
- 38:04Speaker 1: thousand years before by a thousand, you know. And then
- 38:09Speaker 1: and our body wasn't built for and didn't evolve for
- 38:12Speaker 1: what it's currently in the middle of.
- 38:15Speaker 3: Right. So, while we have improvements in health technology like
- 38:20Speaker 3: antibiotics and things that have have helped, you know, increase
- 38:23Speaker 3: our lifespan, Yes, now we're fighting up against the ceiling
- 38:27Speaker 3: because we have this alternative pressure of the stress and
- 38:32Speaker 3: the inflammation and the damage happening to the brain and body.
- 38:37Speaker 3: And that's why we're sort of static with a lot
- 38:40Speaker 3: of our life expectancies.
- 38:42Speaker 1: Now, yes, yeah. One of the things that I do
- 38:46Speaker 1: doc with people that I coach. So I just finished
- 38:49Speaker 1: doing a ten week mentoring program with a bunch of people,
- 38:52Speaker 1: and I do a fair bit of one on one stuff.
- 38:55Speaker 1: But one of the things that I recommend, you know,
- 38:58Speaker 1: it's just a thought, it's just a recommendation, it's not
- 39:01Speaker 1: a prescription. But I recommend people spend three days a
- 39:05Speaker 1: year by themselves, three days a year by themselves, no phone,
- 39:08Speaker 1: no technology, no TV, no media, no social media, and
- 39:13Speaker 1: if possible, no other humans.
- 39:15Speaker 3: Right.
- 39:17Speaker 1: I did this for ten days when I was having
- 39:20Speaker 1: a bit of a midlife not or an early midlife crisis,
- 39:23Speaker 1: when I was in my early thirties and I was
- 39:26Speaker 1: trying to figure out essentially what I wanted the rest
- 39:29Speaker 1: of my life to be. Like, I had all these businesses,
- 39:31Speaker 1: I had five different businesses. I was doing well. I
- 39:34Speaker 1: was commercially and professionally doing well. But in the middle
- 39:38Speaker 1: of all that doing well, I was a physical, mental, emotional,
- 39:43Speaker 1: spiritual train wreck. And I'm like, how come from the
- 39:45Speaker 1: outside looking in my life is amazing, but the inside
- 39:48Speaker 1: out experience is fucking horrible. Right, And so I thought,
- 39:53Speaker 1: I need to and it wasn't that I was doing
- 39:55Speaker 1: anything bad or like my situation was actually amazing. I
- 39:59Speaker 1: was blessed. But in the middle of that situation, it
- 40:04Speaker 1: wasn't working. And I went away and I spent ten
- 40:05Speaker 1: days by myself. And anyway, for me, that ten days
- 40:08Speaker 1: was a revelation and the beginning of something of a
- 40:11Speaker 1: revolution in my own life. Right, it's just because I
- 40:15Speaker 1: got to know me a little bit, and I was
- 40:17Speaker 1: so I had so many issues. I still do, but
- 40:19Speaker 1: so much insecurity, so much bullshit, so much not dealing
- 40:23Speaker 1: with reality so much and pushing things down, you know.
- 40:26Speaker 1: And So I was talking to a friend of mine
- 40:30Speaker 1: a couple of months ago, and I told him about
- 40:32Speaker 1: the three day thing. He goes, I'm going to do it.
- 40:35Speaker 1: And he came home the first night he said, I can't.
- 40:40Speaker 1: I couldn't cope. Like he couldn't cope for one day
- 40:43Speaker 1: with like he was just in nature. Right, he went
- 40:46Speaker 1: to camp. He was going to camp three days, and
- 40:48Speaker 1: he came home. He came home at like midnight on
- 40:51Speaker 1: the first day. He said, I couldn't. He said, I
- 40:55Speaker 1: was crying. I don't even know why I'm crying. I said,
- 40:58Speaker 1: I that's exactly what I did when I did my
- 41:01Speaker 1: ten day one, first day or two or three. There
- 41:03Speaker 1: was so much shit coming up because I was so
- 41:06Speaker 1: used to being distracted and busy and having my head
- 41:10Speaker 1: and not even letting myself feel whatever was going on, good, bad,
- 41:16Speaker 1: or indifferent. You know. So I don't know why I'm
- 41:19Speaker 1: telling you all this, but I feel like, you know,
- 41:22Speaker 1: we used to be nature like we used to go.
- 41:24Speaker 1: Now we go. I'm going to go, and I love
- 41:26Speaker 1: it when I'm in nature, Whereas once upon a time
- 41:28Speaker 1: we were nature like we were part it was, we
- 41:31Speaker 1: were just part of a system of nature. And now
- 41:35Speaker 1: we're just in this fucking alternate reality and we need
- 41:37Speaker 1: to drive to wherever to go sit by a tree.
- 41:42Speaker 3: It's I imagine being like New York City. You have
- 41:45Speaker 3: to go to the park. It's the only place, right,
- 41:47Speaker 3: It's You're absolutely right. If you really want to overcome
- 41:52Speaker 3: anxiety and depression, you learn to be lonely, learn to
- 41:55Speaker 3: be with yourself and your thoughts, and that it's a key.
- 42:00Speaker 3: And you know, we need to impart that upon our children.
- 42:04Speaker 4: And and and and not to be dependent because when
- 42:10Speaker 4: you when you that dependency is not there for a minute,
- 42:12Speaker 4: your anxiety peaks, your depression peaks, and it is challenging.
- 42:15Speaker 3: I believe wholeheartedly what you're saying.
- 42:19Speaker 1: Yeah, if I think you need to tell the doc
- 42:21Speaker 1: about your twelve minute MRI and how you had antswer
- 42:24Speaker 1: in your pants this morning, and and you couldn't, you
- 42:27Speaker 1: couldn't call tell him what.
- 42:30Speaker 2: You had done, mountain in there. It's no mountain when
- 42:33Speaker 2: you're not you know, when you're not allowed to move
- 42:36Speaker 2: part of your body, and then all of your body goes,
- 42:39Speaker 2: you have to move that part of your body. It
- 42:42Speaker 2: was just twelve minutes of absolute torture. I had to
- 42:46Speaker 2: pretend for as long as I could that it was
- 42:48Speaker 2: my feet that I couldn't move, so that the focus
- 42:51Speaker 2: was on my feet, so that if I was doing
- 42:52Speaker 2: micro movements, it was going to be my feet, not
- 42:55Speaker 2: my neck.
- 42:58Speaker 3: Yeah, and my eyes are tough, but amazing technology. What
- 43:01Speaker 3: we can see with that, you know, is well well
- 43:05Speaker 3: beyond our time that that was a technology, probably before
- 43:08Speaker 3: it's time.
- 43:10Speaker 1: We're gonna wind up, doc, But is there anything that
- 43:12Speaker 1: we can learn from ancient wisdom?
- 43:17Speaker 3: From listen to your grandmothers. If your grandmother said eat
- 43:21Speaker 3: fruits and vegetables, she was right. If your grandmother said
- 43:24Speaker 3: get a full night's sleep, she was right. If she said,
- 43:28Speaker 3: you know all kinds of different you know, old grandmother wisdom,
- 43:34Speaker 3: she was right. All those things stimulate your health, your
- 43:37Speaker 3: stem cells, and what happens in most cultures when you're sick,
- 43:40Speaker 3: they make your chicken soup, right, yes, because the chicken
- 43:44Speaker 3: soup is made from chicken stock, chicken bone marrow, chicken bones,
- 43:48Speaker 3: and those bones released the stem cells and the stem
- 43:50Speaker 3: cell exosomes to make you healthy. And think about some
- 43:55Speaker 3: some other health aspects of stem cells you can get.
- 43:58Speaker 3: You can get bone broth, which is very healthy. You
- 44:00Speaker 3: can eat bone marrow, which has themselves, and I mean
- 44:03Speaker 3: there are so many ways that that we've known. I mean,
- 44:07Speaker 3: even other species eat bone marrow, right see yeah, yeah, yep,
- 44:12Speaker 3: they know it's healthy. They've figured it out somehow. So
- 44:16Speaker 3: we're just now learning that again through the science side.
- 44:20Speaker 3: So we can make it sound like we're smart, but
- 44:23Speaker 3: it's nothing that new.
- 44:25Speaker 1: It's so funny. It's almost like we come full circle
- 44:28Speaker 1: and like twenty twenty four, we think we're so smart,
- 44:32Speaker 1: We've got so much science, so much tech, so many tools,
- 44:34Speaker 1: so much research, and then from a health point of view,
- 44:39Speaker 1: We've never been worse. Fuck, we've never been less. We
- 44:43Speaker 1: got more shit, more knowledge, more tools, more gurus. We've
- 44:48Speaker 1: never been more fucked as a species, really, struthfully.
- 44:54Speaker 3: So the solution is to get up and move exercises.
- 44:58Speaker 3: The is the billion dollar PI. You can save yourself
- 45:01Speaker 3: a billion dollars. So you're absolutely right, Doc.
- 45:03Speaker 1: Before we let you go, do you want to point
- 45:06Speaker 1: our listeners towards anything any any of your work, any
- 45:10Speaker 1: of your products or services or website? How do they
- 45:13Speaker 1: do that?
- 45:14Speaker 3: Yeah? I'm not much of a salesman, but if anyone
- 45:17Speaker 3: out there has some kind of issue or problem or
- 45:21Speaker 3: they want to, you know, see if regenerative medicine is
- 45:24Speaker 3: an option for them, separate from something traditional, just to
- 45:29Speaker 3: talk about it. I'm your guy. Go to re celebrate
