Welcome to the Full Fuel podcast.
00:00:02
I'm gonna set what the new normal looks like in my life.
00:00:05
You're not limited by your genetics.
00:00:06
You have all the superpower that is is the people have.
00:00:10
So, unfortunately, most businesses aren't gonna use the highest quality ingredients.
00:00:14
What's your approach?
00:00:15
Jack.
00:00:15
I know he's Jack.
00:00:16
That's why I'm asking him.
00:00:17
I'm like, he's changed.
00:00:17
I don't think he lives.
00:00:19
Yeah.
00:00:19
It's consistency in everything that we do that really compounds.
00:00:23
Only way we're gonna get the word out is with you.
00:00:25
Live full fuel.
00:00:26
Live the own limits, Debbie.
00:00:28
Let's go.
00:00:30
Another episode of the full fuel podcast with your host, Matt Tack.
00:00:35
Alfred Alessi.
00:00:37
Good to be here.
00:00:38
Doing today?
00:00:40
What's up, brother?
00:00:42
Man.
00:00:43
Oh, well, I just saw you a little while ago, so not much different, but I just got off a really
00:00:47
cool podcast.
00:00:49
We're in podcast mode, and we're interested in talking about some biohacks today.
00:00:55
I don't like the term, dude.
00:00:57
I think we listened to the same podcast one time and I'm in full agreement that it's
00:01:02
bioharmonization because it's not biohacking.
00:01:05
You are not getting any younger.
00:01:06
And I think the term hack is like intended for you to think that you're getting younger.
00:01:11
You are never getting younger.
00:01:12
Like, you are going to age.
00:01:14
You can interrupt the aging process, but, like, you're not hacking anything.
00:01:19
You're, like, bay basically delaying it so that you can live a more fulfilled life.
00:01:24
What are your thoughts on that?
00:01:26
I don't know that it matters that much.
00:01:28
I I like the term hacking.
00:01:29
It just sounds cool.
00:01:30
Like, we're hacking something.
00:01:32
Right?
00:01:32
Like, it's like a cheap code.
00:01:33
Right?
00:01:33
Like, when you're using hormones, you're using peptides.
00:01:37
You're you're using or do when we use, like, the software technology in the office, we're
00:01:41
using technology to hack your biology.
00:01:44
That's that's what I get from it again.
00:01:46
It probably doesn't matter.
00:01:48
But I know we've both kind of been messing around with some cool stuff lately.
00:01:52
Maybe myself a little bit more on the on the, substance realm, but What do you have?
00:02:00
Some cool stuff that that we got going on.
00:02:03
One of the dude, one
00:02:04
of the best things I ever invested in, and I'm not even a spokesperson for them, but that 8
00:02:09
Sleep Mattress cover is one of the best things I've ever brought into.
00:02:13
Tell them about yeah.
00:02:14
Yeah.
00:02:15
Tell them about, like, the top three benefits.
00:02:18
I freaking love the amount of benefits that are in this thing.
00:02:21
I literally haven't woken up, like like, tired or groggy in months, and it's because I get
00:02:27
such deep sleep.
00:02:29
Man, I used to wake up every single night, like, wet, like, sweaty.
00:02:32
And I just I run hot, like, I'm normally warm.
00:02:34
He pees the bed all the time.
00:02:36
That's what it was.
00:02:37
I was just pissed all over my
00:02:40
Just pee at the bed.
00:02:41
So this bed helped me stop peeing myself, which is fantastic.
00:02:44
Nope.
00:02:45
But but for real, like, I used to wake up sweaty, man.
00:02:47
And it was, like, I was, like, cleaning my sheets every single day.
00:02:52
Like, I'll be you know, I usually get into bed around 9:30.
00:02:56
The bed's already cooled off for me.
00:02:58
It it taps on around 8:30 at night.
00:03:00
There's a big pod next to the mattress.
00:03:02
So it's a cover that goes over the mattress, and it has these cooling coils in it.
00:03:06
This is the newest technology, the pod 4.
00:03:08
So they fixed some of the problems that I guess I had read about on the old one that were like,
00:03:12
it would spring a leak and you wake up and your bedroom's a freaking monsoon because the
00:03:17
middle, you know, 3 gallons of water or something, but I guess they fixed that.
00:03:21
So now it's encased in a in a thing.
00:03:25
But, yeah, man.
00:03:26
Like, there'll be there'll be times where, like, I've gotten home early, and I'm just in
00:03:29
bed reading around, like, 8:20.
00:03:30
And I feel this thing kick on at 8:30, and it starts cooling.
00:03:34
And when it when it cools, it cools real good.
00:03:37
You know, there's different sets.
00:03:38
Not even the coolest thing.
00:03:39
I personally think the coolest thing, I gotta buy one of these myself, is the vibration
00:03:46
feature to, like, wake you up.
00:03:49
It cools you to sleep, and then it goes less cold towards the middle of the night.
00:03:54
So, like, it's you real cold to put you into sleep.
00:03:56
Middle of the night, it'll kinda warm back up a little bit, but it's still cool.
00:04:00
And then to wake up, I don't use an alarm anymore because the bed starts to warm up.
00:04:05
I wake up to that alone.
00:04:06
Now if that's not enough to wake you up, it starts vibrating, and it's like, and it starts
00:04:12
to slowly get more, like, intense.
00:04:15
And it's a very calming and, like, gentle wake up.
00:04:18
It's one of the best things ever.
00:04:20
Because there's nothing worse than waking up to an alarm blaring in your ear or, like,
00:04:25
something that startles you awake.
00:04:26
That's horrible.
00:04:27
That's a cortisol spike.
00:04:28
So that alone and then it has an app that tracks your sleep.
00:04:32
And so, you know, it it makes modifications over time depending on how you sleep.
00:04:37
So basically, it senses if when I'm in the middle of the night, when deeper sleep or if
00:04:43
I'm getting woken up a lot, it'll sense that and it knows to adjust the temperature and the
00:04:48
settings.
00:04:48
It's freaking crazy.
00:04:50
The autopilot mode.
00:04:51
But, man, next level.
00:04:53
Like, I feel like my recovery is fantastic.
00:04:55
I feel like my brain works better because I'm not groggy or tired for an hour when I wake up.
00:05:00
Just been a great investment overall.
00:05:03
That is a free
00:05:04
Maybe you should
00:05:05
a half.
00:05:05
You're shifting.
00:05:07
No.
00:05:07
That's cool.
00:05:08
I love the idea of vibration because one thing that I started doing was I got an alarm and I
00:05:13
put my phone out in the living room.
00:05:15
Like I don't even wake.
00:05:16
I don't want it in my room because of the negative energy that it has.
00:05:20
It's
00:05:20
crazy to think about that too.
00:05:21
Like your phone, like every time you pick up your phone, you're like I know I need this in
00:05:26
my hands because like, maybe you're working on it or something, but it just has like this
00:05:29
negative energy that draws out of you.
00:05:31
You can draw so much dopamine and then you go in this fatigue.
00:05:35
But, the one thing I do wanna get back just from a nerdy side of things of why that's
00:05:40
important, like why having, like, an efficient bed or bedding is important for sleep is
00:05:46
because, our so our body goes through 3 different stages of sleep before it even
00:05:54
touches an element of SWS and REM, which SWS is your slow wave sleep.
00:06:00
And then REM is your rapid eye movement sleep, which is your deepest form of sleep.
00:06:04
But what's cool about what he's talking about is that it basically is optimizing your body's
00:06:11
temperature to stay in longer deep sleep cycles.
00:06:16
And that is what is ultimately optimizing him the next day.
00:06:19
So that's it.
00:06:20
Just from a nerdy side of things, like, when you can get longer deep, like, REM and slow
00:06:24
wave sleep, you're you're just gonna feel naturally way better the next day.
00:06:28
Yes.
00:06:29
So we we did the one of our original podcasts everyone should go back and listen to is about
00:06:33
those sleep cycles and why they're important.
00:06:36
The deep sleep is when you're physically recovering.
00:06:39
Your body is rebuilding and and repairing muscle that was broken down from that day or
00:06:44
working out or whatever.
00:06:45
The REM sleep is where, if you think of your brain like a file cabinet I like this analogy.
00:06:51
Your brain's a file cabinet.
00:06:52
Every memory, everything that you learned or processed that day is in a file that needs to
00:06:57
be then stored.
00:06:58
So when you get like, when people have, like, constantly bad sleep or night after night of no
00:07:04
sleep, you're not processing those memories.
00:07:06
They're gone.
00:07:07
Right?
00:07:07
Like, you you literally don't put them away in a file cabinet.
00:07:10
They go away.
00:07:11
So that's what people have, like, they're like, I can't remember anything.
00:07:14
It's like you're not getting enough of that that categorization in your brain.
00:07:19
So REM sleep, that's where we dream is because our brain is chucking through all these things.
00:07:24
So oftentimes, I'll find, and I've gotten really present with this and really aware with
00:07:29
my dreams are often something subconscious from the day before.
00:07:33
Right?
00:07:33
Like, you and I will have a conversation about something random, and it's such a little thing
00:07:38
that's not even present.
00:07:39
But then I come I dream about it.
00:07:41
And I'm like, that was weird.
00:07:42
But, you know, that I can recall from the day that, oh, yeah.
00:07:44
We talked about that for half a second and it showed up in my brain.
00:07:48
So it's really important to get that deep sleep and that restorative, or else our brain's not
00:07:53
recycling.
00:07:53
It's not gonna pump the cerebrospinal fluid in and out, which is really important for health
00:07:58
of our brain to get, like, toxins and everything out of there, as well as the muscle
00:08:02
recovery, obviously.
00:08:03
So, I mean, dude, that alone is my favorite thing I've I've been doing lately.
00:08:09
Honestly, I'm I'm excited to get into bed every night.
00:08:11
I'm just a champion top on that little icebox.
00:08:14
I got it there.
00:08:16
What, how are you optimizing your workouts?
00:08:19
What what's some, what's some of the new things that you're doing?
00:08:22
You're taking pre workout that is you're like, man, I'm getting max benefit from this.
00:08:29
I mean, I'll I'll attribute a lot of my recovery to a lot of the blood flow support
00:08:35
stuff I've been doing.
00:08:36
This is a Jay Campbell biohack that I hopped on.
00:08:39
It was microdosing with tadalafil, which is commonly people know it as Cialis, the erectile
00:08:46
dysfunction medication.
00:08:48
But, normally, it's used for erectile dysfunction in a clinical case.
00:08:53
People are gonna use, like, a heavier dose of, like, 60 to 80 milligrams.
00:08:57
I'm taking 2 milligrams a day, so it's a very microdose.
00:09:01
But the blood flow I've seen is crazy.
00:09:04
I I feel more vascular.
00:09:06
I have veins popping out everywhere.
00:09:07
But my body, when I when I get a Oxygen?
00:09:14
I mean, it has those benefits too, but, you know, that's I can't say that's no, man.
00:09:21
The recovery is awesome.
00:09:22
Like, I'm never sore.
00:09:23
And I know you you talk about this a lot too because you're using obviously the things like
00:09:28
the citrulline, the stuff that we have in the the Corey Van Dorn, a pre workout, which is an
00:09:33
awesome pump workout, pre workout, but yeah, man.
00:09:36
That's a big one.
00:09:39
You're you're a big guy with the cognitive stuff, like the nootropics.
00:09:44
So, you know, I've been messing around with a little bit with those 2, you know, the mushroom
00:09:48
coffee blend, which I I think I feel more on, like, a daily kick if I do it rather than,
00:09:54
like, just taking it once.
00:09:55
I don't know that I really notice too much of an effect versus when I'm doing it daily.
00:10:00
I think I get more of, like, a I'm just kind of naturally, like, flow state all the time.
00:10:06
So I don't know.
00:10:07
What are your thoughts on that?
00:10:09
Yeah.
00:10:09
I think, you know, I'm I put a little bit I actually don't put that much lion's mane in my
00:10:16
protein drinks anymore.
00:10:18
I don't know why.
00:10:18
I honestly stopped that.
00:10:20
One thing I always do is I put Ashwagandha.
00:10:22
Ashwagandha is one nootropic that I've pretty much held steady.
00:10:27
I think it's a good route.
00:10:29
I guess the one thing that I've done that I've seen like pretty wild, from an ADH perspective
00:10:38
of microdosing nicotine.
00:10:41
So that's something that, you know, whether it's like the little sleeves that I'll put in
00:10:47
my mouth.
00:10:48
I don't love those because they put sweetener.
00:10:50
So they put, like, artificial sweeteners in there.
00:10:53
I think they do.
00:10:54
They have some, I think majority of it is natural.
00:10:57
So, like, they put a stevia and then they have some for, like, food based fibers.
00:11:01
So I don't think it's, like, crazy, but it's tough to see the, like the long term effects of
00:11:05
nicotine.
00:11:06
I don't think nicotine it's a nootropic.
00:11:10
So I think it I think what they're trying to research is a lot right now is like kind of the
00:11:14
long term effects of nicotine.
00:11:16
Usually what impacts is nicotine is the derivative of the plant that makes you addicted
00:11:23
to smoking.
00:11:24
It isn't necessarily the nicotine itself that causes it.
00:11:28
I think if you are using it without like being active, there's a little bit of hypertension
00:11:34
that's involved, with like microdosing nicotine.
00:11:37
I haven't really seen that nearly as much.
00:11:41
However, I will be honest with you.
00:11:43
Frigging, maybe go a little bit overboard.
00:11:46
So I'll be like, I'll be honest with the audience.
00:11:53
Yeah.
00:11:54
I
00:11:54
do I do like it though, bro.
00:11:56
It's like, it's one of those things where I feel that between my, t r t, it, it, it has
00:12:04
this like mellowing edge to it.
00:12:07
I can't really speak on the scientific side as far as like the gray matter in the brain of
00:12:14
what it exactly does to my prefrontal lobe.
00:12:16
But it gets me to focus.
00:12:17
I'm not gonna lie.
00:12:18
Like when I'm focused and I got a little bit of nicotine in me, I am focused and it actually
00:12:23
takes my urge off of a little bit more caffeine.
00:12:26
However, I do have an issue because I love pre workouts.
00:12:29
Those are loaded with stem.
00:12:31
So it's like, there's caffeine in that.
00:12:34
And then so you do have to be, like, I have to be conscious of that more.
00:12:37
So I like self evaluation here, I think is what this is.
00:12:40
Like, I gotta be conscious of how much caffeine I'm taking in it as well as, like, nicotine.
00:12:44
Yeah.
00:12:44
But I do feel like it has helped me, some a layer of focus and just really being
00:12:51
intentionally present in some conversations that I really need to be intentional about.
00:12:56
Totally.
00:12:56
I love that.
00:12:57
And that's that's kinda what I was gonna go into next is, like, the last I think it's been
00:13:01
the last 2 or 3 weeks, maybe two and a half weeks, that my morning stack you know, I wake
00:13:06
up.
00:13:07
I do some some kind of mindfulness stuff, I read my bible, I do a little journaling.
00:13:11
But then I go into the office and I have conversations all day with patients who I'm
00:13:16
trying to connect with on an empathetic level.
00:13:18
They're in pain.
00:13:20
I need to be there for them on that level.
00:13:22
Right?
00:13:22
That's a little bit deeper than just, hey, I'm gonna help you.
00:13:25
I'm there for them to connect.
00:13:26
And honestly, where I've gotten a lot of change in that and and my ability to like you just
00:13:31
said, to be present and be very aware of, like, what they're feeling and almost, like, connect
00:13:36
on a vibrational level, man, is this morning stack I have.
00:13:40
It's melanotan peptide, right, which is the one that is, but helps with with skin tanning.
00:13:47
But when you take it intranasally, the way I'm doing it, it helps with your consciousness.
00:13:51
It actually raises consciousness.
00:13:53
So that's not subcu.
00:13:53
That's the Not subcu.
00:13:53
It's intranasal.
00:13:53
Yeah.
00:13:53
It's just a spray.
00:13:54
I'm doing then, obviously,
00:13:55
the mushroom coffee, which has the lion's mane, the reishi, the chakka.
00:14:00
Hold on.
00:14:01
Once I go back,
00:14:06
is that, is that, does that have as a derivative effect of, similar to, like,
00:14:11
insulin?
00:14:13
That.
00:14:14
Like an insulin response for the nasal?
00:14:18
The
00:14:19
No.
00:14:20
I don't believe so.
00:14:21
I mean, I could be wrong on that.
00:14:22
But, Really?
00:14:23
Okay.
00:14:24
Yeah.
00:14:24
As far as the miscreases.
00:14:25
No.
00:14:26
About your stack, though.
00:14:27
I love this word.
00:14:27
Let's go on.
00:14:28
Yeah.
00:14:28
Yeah.
00:14:28
Yeah.
00:14:29
So the stack is that, you know, usually, like, kinda first thing in the morning when I wake up
00:14:33
with some other I take some thyroid stuff.
00:14:35
And then the mushroom coffee that I drink is the lion's mane, the chaga, the reishi.
00:14:39
It's kind of a blend with I think it has some ashwagandha and some maca.
00:14:43
It's kind of a combo.
00:14:44
I let you try it yesterday, the funky taste stuff.
00:14:48
And then for the listeners, obviously, you know, do your do your homework, but I'm doing a
00:14:54
microdose of psilocybin too, which, man, has been next level.
00:14:58
Because I'm a I run anxious.
00:15:00
Like, I'm always kinda anxious on edge.
00:15:02
I feel like that's just kinda how I I tend.
00:15:03
That's just childhood stuff.
00:15:07
Man, it has it mellows that out.
00:15:08
And when I'm in that moment with that patient and we're connecting, man, I've the last 2
00:15:12
weeks, I've seen a profound change in how I'm communicating with people.
00:15:17
They they can feel that I'm not just trying to sign them up for our program.
00:15:21
I'm not just trying to sell them something.
00:15:23
I'm there to help them.
00:15:24
Right?
00:15:24
And you've seen it, like, on the numbers.
00:15:26
Like, we we're everyone's signing up.
00:15:28
Like, I'm not even feel like a salesman.
00:15:29
I'm just, hey, this is what we're here to do.
00:15:32
I'm here to help you.
00:15:33
This is a plan.
00:15:34
Like, let's go.
00:15:35
And people are just on board.
00:15:36
And so I think it's they can feel that.
00:15:38
Right?
00:15:39
People aren't stupid.
00:15:39
They can tell when you're when you're on a a deeper level of vibrational connection.
00:15:45
It's been good, man.
00:15:45
I'm I'm really digging what I'm doing.
00:15:48
Yeah.
00:15:48
I think it will I mean, to even go back to all those, those are all considered nootropics,
00:15:53
everything that you mentioned.
00:15:56
And I think that in so many ways throughout the day, with technology, the way it is, it whether
00:16:06
we're even looking at it, holding it, being around it, it's pulling out a frequency out of
00:16:13
us.
00:16:13
Whether whether we know it or not, there's the frequency that's coming out.
00:16:17
And so then it's like your ability to really understand of how to, like, get back to
00:16:23
neutral, like, get back to neutral as fast as possible.
00:16:26
Right?
00:16:27
And it's really hard to do with but there's there's obviously things that you can utilize
00:16:34
in today's world technology these I would they're not drugs.
00:16:41
Right?
00:16:41
They're
00:16:42
not drugs.
00:16:42
You can call them you can call them smart drugs.
00:16:44
I guess that's what nootropics are smart drugs.
00:16:48
But they're they're not meant to be harmful to your body is what I'm saying or harmful to your
00:16:53
brain but then utilizing those to be like, wow, it it it takes away these and allows to me to
00:16:58
experience presence.
00:17:00
There was a there's a book called the power of now.
00:17:03
I don't know if anyone's ever read that, but the power of now is one of those books that
00:17:09
like all, like that is what brings you to the present.
00:17:14
And if you truly have every conversation as if it's like, Hey, I'm, I'm talking to you right
00:17:19
now.
00:17:20
Nothing else matters.
00:17:22
People feel that vibration, that vibrational frequency.
00:17:25
They're like, dude, I'm literally the only person in his life right now, which that's the
00:17:28
reality, like, and, when people feel that man, they feel there's a there's a sense of peace
00:17:34
and confidence about that.
00:17:36
Yeah.
00:17:36
And, you know, these these nootropics are smart drugs, whatever you wanna call them, especially
00:17:41
lion's mane, the research shows it produces or it makes your body produce BDNF, brain derived
00:17:47
neurotrophic factor, which regrows neurons or it rebuilds neural pathways.
00:17:52
So not only are you enhancing your cognition in the moment, but long term, I think when you're
00:17:56
on this something like this for, you know, term period, you're creating these new neural
00:18:02
branches.
00:18:03
Every time you have a conversation or or, even a thought.
00:18:07
Right?
00:18:07
You have to your brain is creating neural pathways.
00:18:09
And so if you can stimulate it to make these more permanent, you can use this as a way to
00:18:15
rewire your thinking too.
00:18:17
So, you know, if anyone's trying to get into more of like a a mindfulness or a meditation
00:18:22
practice or something like that where they're like, man, I wanna become more present and I
00:18:25
wanna adapt a new habit.
00:18:28
Lion's mane or anything that's BDNF producing can help you with that because it's gonna let
00:18:33
you boost your ability to create these new neural pathways that help with habit formation.
00:18:41
It's huge.
00:18:41
It's pretty sweet.
00:18:42
Yeah.
00:18:43
Another thing that I've I would call a nootropic, kind of, but it's a nootropic habit
00:18:50
is the like creating a habit that's that allows there's a sense of curiosity in it.
00:18:58
So I've been practicing Spanish.
00:19:01
And so when you're learning, like, new words every day, like a different language, it it
00:19:05
basically puts your body in, like, this almost like parasympathetic, where it's like, I have
00:19:10
to learn.
00:19:11
There's a level of curiosity in it.
00:19:13
And, like, I, I truly believe everyone should be like trying to learn another language or
00:19:18
learn something new in that capacity.
00:19:19
That kind of takes you outside.
00:19:21
It almost puts you in an elementary mode, Like learning.
00:19:27
And so that's what Spanish does for me.
00:19:29
So I've been practicing Spanish and it's kind of like a hack that I've created for myself to,
00:19:35
to not really like waste time inefficiently but waste time efficiently because there's that,
00:19:41
you know, maybe I might be able to use it someday.
00:19:44
I do use it somewhat frequently, I guess, to people that could speak Spanish and that I'll,
00:19:49
you know, I'll, I'll work on it.
00:19:51
I'm definitely not fluent by any means, but I think that's one hack that I would call a
00:19:55
biohack that has really helped me and, an element of like curiosity that is just, it puts
00:20:02
me into elementary mode.
00:20:03
Like the more often you can put your brain in some sort of like elementary, a foundation
00:20:09
where it's like becomes very rudimentary that I have to like expose some level of curiosity out
00:20:14
of it.
00:20:16
So it's helped me.
00:20:17
It's better.
00:20:17
Terminals the term is novelty stimulus.
00:20:21
So the same way we talked about with exercise past episode, I believe as well.
00:20:26
Right?
00:20:26
Like, when when you've been doing the same routine forever, there's no novelty stimulus.
00:20:31
Your brain and your body don't have to do anything.
00:20:34
They don't have to work that hard.
00:20:35
Your body's just gonna do the same thing.
00:20:37
The result the gains and the results become less and less over time.
00:20:40
So when you shift it up, right, like, say, you go from 1 month of strength training to a month
00:20:45
of more hypertrophy training to a month of more HIIT circuit training to a month of inner or
00:20:51
aerobic cardio training, then back into strength training, that novelty stimulus month
00:20:56
after month keeps your brain muscle connection sharp and strong.
00:21:00
It engages parts of the brain that you're not, you know, normally working on.
00:21:03
So that's a smart drug in itself.
00:21:05
You know, you're really, a drug is anything that is exogenous that you put into the body
00:21:11
that's gonna affect it.
00:21:12
Anything could be a drug.
00:21:13
Caffeine's a drug.
00:21:14
Right?
00:21:14
Like, any of this stuff.
00:21:16
Caffeine's a nootropic?
00:21:18
Yeah.
00:21:18
Yes.
00:21:18
Drugs.
00:21:19
Right?
00:21:19
So but, yeah, that concept is the same for, you know, exercise as it is for, you know, brain
00:21:26
exercise, which obviously learning a language totally is.
00:21:29
The same with, like, those those I love those apps.
00:21:31
Actually, I used to have one for when I found myself, like, scrolling on Instagram.
00:21:35
I was, like, I would open this other app.
00:21:37
Forget what it was called, but you would play these gay they were just games.
00:21:41
Oh.
00:21:42
I
00:21:42
think it's that one.
00:21:43
That's the one that blocks your that's the one that filters your Yeah.
00:21:46
That's hilarious.
00:21:47
Apps.
00:21:48
This is a gosh.
00:21:50
I'll look it up, but it was, it was just games.
00:21:53
And you'd be playing these games, but they were, like, kind of strategy, you know?
00:21:57
That's a great one.
00:21:58
Like, you're so you think you're wasting time just playing games, but you're actually
00:22:01
strengthening your brain and getting smarter and and kind of, processing stuff, which is
00:22:06
cool.
00:22:07
That's a good buy.
00:22:07
Brain food.
00:22:08
Brain food.
00:22:10
That's ultimately what, creates, like, that neuroplasticity.
00:22:13
So you create the, you know, that, that neuroplasticity within the brain.
00:22:18
Anytime you're learning something new, there's the, those, hedonic hotspots.
00:22:24
What's cool is that constantly throughout the day, even in podcast setting, you are a
00:22:31
circulation of thought.
00:22:33
So you have all these feedback loops.
00:22:35
And every time everyone says something, you're all you're doing is interpreting it, whether
00:22:41
it's true or false.
00:22:42
Like, it's true or false.
00:22:43
Is this true or is this false?
00:22:45
And, then what you perceive is true, you try to bank.
00:22:51
Luminosity.
00:22:52
I've heard yeah.
00:22:53
I've heard of
00:22:53
that.
00:22:54
See.
00:22:54
Yeah.
00:22:55
Is it cool?
00:22:55
I mean used it.
00:22:57
Yeah.
00:22:57
It's good.
00:23:00
But then if it's false, right, you're not, you're, you're likely not to bank that as a,
00:23:05
obviously a long term net.
00:23:06
Nah, that's false, you know?
00:23:07
Yeah.
00:23:07
So it's, it's less penetratable to the reticular activating system, but I love the
00:23:12
idea of how we process thought and like kinda how we experience truth versus narrative.
00:23:18
Like, it's like all these things in this, political agenda that we have going on in the
00:23:23
world today.
00:23:24
I'm like, people will just wanna be one-sided.
00:23:27
There's this guy that posted something on, you know, both of us lean more conservative,
00:23:32
obviously.
00:23:33
So, you know, I some guy, like, posted something that my mom was watching the, which I
00:23:39
don't watch a ton of TV, but my mom was watching the, debate.
00:23:43
And, I was like, holy shit.
00:23:45
He's getting smoked.
00:23:47
I was like, this dude is not prepared at all.
00:23:49
And, and then you see, like, afterwards, you see all the Republicans, like, take one side
00:23:58
and then, yeah, their their versus truth.
00:24:00
Oh, it's like he he was horrible and or she she was horrible and she was going after him.
00:24:05
It's like, no.
00:24:06
He was, like, extremely unprepared, got smoked, and then I was, like, dialoguing real quick.
00:24:11
And I was like, I gotta get off of this.
00:24:13
But, like, they're they're saying Kamala Harris had earrings with, like, microphones.
00:24:18
And I'm like, he's trying to pull out everything.
00:24:20
Ridiculous stuff.
00:24:21
Did that about bike?
00:24:23
4 years ago, because he he would do this.
00:24:25
He did, like, the classic, like, like, a freaking secret agent.
00:24:29
He would, like, touch his ear, and then he would answer the question.
00:24:31
I'm, like, okay.
00:24:32
That's obvious that maybe he's doing something, or his dude just got a itchy ear.
00:24:35
I don't know.
00:24:36
But
00:24:36
Or he's got itchy.
00:24:38
But, like, how could that number 1, how could that help you all that much?
00:24:42
Like, it's like, okay.
00:24:43
In the moment, like, yeah, the, like, the 5 seconds before I, like, I know an answer,
00:24:48
you're hearing him respond anyway.
00:24:50
It's a debate.
00:24:51
Like, what?
00:24:52
I don't even think that's, like, even a competitive advantage.
00:24:54
But anyways,
00:24:55
I thought
00:24:55
it was ridiculous.
00:24:56
It going back to the point of, like, perceiving truth versus narrative or true, true versus
00:25:03
false.
00:25:03
You know, we we're gonna collect it based on our biases.
00:25:07
Right?
00:25:07
And so then it becomes how we're just like perceiving, like, it's everything too.
00:25:12
Like what, how we're talking, we push this out into the world.
00:25:15
Somebody's gonna gather this information.
00:25:17
They're like, like, is that true?
00:25:19
Is that not true?
00:25:20
Am I gonna am I gonna take that and implement it, or am I not?
00:25:24
Like, there's a lot of stuff.
00:25:25
I we like I I you know, one thing I do like about us at the end of the day is, like, we are
00:25:31
the guinea pigs.
00:25:32
Like, we freaking try it all.
00:25:35
Yeah.
00:25:35
And that's where, like, I think so many people can get super dogmatic.
00:25:39
You know?
00:25:40
Like, they're strict carnivore.
00:25:41
They're strict vegan.
00:25:42
Or they're strict evidence based.
00:25:44
Like, oh, if the evidence and the studies don't show, I'm like, dude, there had to be studies
00:25:48
done in the first place.
00:25:50
So, like, nothing is always proven.
00:25:52
Right?
00:25:52
And my take on that is, like, if you do something and there's no studies but it works
00:25:56
for you, then it freaking works for you.
00:25:58
You should do it.
00:25:58
Do what makes you happy.
00:25:59
You know what I mean?
00:26:00
Just because the studies don't prove it or, you know, the evidence based isn't there.
00:26:05
Like, I don't I don't know that that a 100% always rules something out.
00:26:08
Now is it nice to have a little bit of info that says, hey.
00:26:10
This has been proven to work for people of all different ages, sizes, blah blah blah.
00:26:14
Yeah.
00:26:15
That's cool.
00:26:15
Then that gives you a little bit more, like, clout.
00:26:19
I mean, a lot of the stuff that you and I try, it's we I'll try anything twice.
00:26:23
Right?
00:26:25
Try anything twice.
00:26:26
And if it works for you, then you freaking roll with it, man.
00:26:29
And if it works for a time and then it wears off and it stops, then you stop doing it.
00:26:33
But
00:26:34
That's actually a great point, that you're saying that is that everything will stop.
00:26:40
Like, you should not be really taking stuff for extremely long periods of time because
00:26:45
naturally things will your body all adapt.
00:26:49
So Peter Attia talks actually a lot about that, how there needs to be intermittent cycles.
00:26:53
Like, there needs to be a pause period where then you can recycle back on things because
00:26:59
your body naturally becomes like a habit of that formation.
00:27:03
And the placebo of that will eventually become stale.
00:27:06
You were talking about that novelty stimulus.
00:27:09
Right?
00:27:10
They when things be there's no more novelty to it.
00:27:13
Therefore, the placebo rolls off, and there's a big element of placebo that works into, like,
00:27:19
literally anything you're taking.
00:27:21
Right?
00:27:21
You're like my pre workout, same thing.
00:27:24
If you're on the same pre workout and not adjusting things, like eventually there'll be
00:27:29
like that novelty stimulus and that placebo of like, dang, I get a crazy pump from that.
00:27:33
That'll eventually probably wear off a little bit.
00:27:35
Your body will adapt.
00:27:37
You probably should maybe even lay low on, you know, doing a pre workout and then hop back
00:27:42
into it a little bit later or try up a different one.
00:27:45
You gave me that one kinetic, and I was like, dang.
00:27:48
This is good.
00:27:49
And it had much of a a slower rise because it was, like, more mushroom based.
00:27:53
There wasn't as much made alanine built into it.
00:27:56
And so it was a slow rise versus this, like, whereas, like, Corey Van Dorn is, like,
00:28:00
freaking
00:28:01
you
00:28:01
can just, like, massive jack up.
00:28:03
You're just, like, fully alert on it right away.
00:28:07
So that's a great point though because there's this element of placebo and that novelty
00:28:11
stimulus that's eventually is gonna wear off.
00:28:13
Yeah.
00:28:13
And that's the success mindset that I talk about in the clinic all the time.
00:28:17
Like, someone comes in, they've had low back pain for 6 years.
00:28:21
Even if they feel hopeless and, like, you know, it's gonna be a slow road ahead of them, I'm
00:28:25
like, hey, you gotta buy in.
00:28:26
Like, you have to be bought in to everything.
00:28:28
If you want success in it, you gotta just you gotta be bought in or else your mind is gonna
00:28:33
trick you into thinking you're in pain still.
00:28:35
Right?
00:28:35
Because people don't wanna have that hope.
00:28:37
They're like, oh, I do feel better.
00:28:38
They're like, no.
00:28:39
I don't.
00:28:39
I'm in pain.
00:28:40
This is, this is a lost cause, and then their body feels pain.
00:28:44
It's a psycho odd it's a psychosomatic effect.
00:28:47
But, you know, speaking of cycles, man, when is that trend coming in?
00:28:54
I'm just kidding.
00:28:56
No.
00:28:56
Like, but I agree.
00:28:57
Cycling because when you're do taking 4 scoops of a pre workout to get the same dose or effect
00:29:03
that you did when you started and you took half, it's time to take a break for a bit.
00:29:07
Take a few weeks off, then you'll get back on and and you'll feel a lot better, or you'll
00:29:12
feel it again.
00:29:12
So I was always that guy, man.
00:29:14
I'd be like, oh, shit.
00:29:15
It's not working as much.
00:29:16
So we take 3 scoops and see what happens.
00:29:20
Yeah.
00:29:20
Three bar scoops.
00:29:21
Take it off.
00:29:22
Oh, man.
00:29:23
We'll be running for about 30 minutes now.
00:29:27
You know, those are some of the cool things that we've been experimenting with.
00:29:32
You know, we covered everything from your bed sheets to optimizing your sleep, to, pretty
00:29:41
much pre workouts, placebo.
00:29:44
And then doctor Alessi even, put you through, what he does for his stack.
00:29:49
So one of the big things for me is just getting a proper protein in.
00:29:53
I get the fats and proteins in early, early in the day.
00:29:57
That's something that I love to do.
00:29:59
Well, those that's another little biohack.
00:30:01
It's just optimizing your nutrition.
00:30:02
I know you can go back to prior episodes on how we really lock in and dial on that nutrition.
00:30:08
But that's something that needs to be first and foremost
00:30:11
Yeah.
00:30:11
On how you're operating.
00:30:12
I would say I recommend you go back and listen to the sleep episode.
00:30:16
It's really cool, really good, and educates people on, like, why sleep is so important,
00:30:21
really, but how to how to hack that and optimize it.
