00:00:00
Welcome to the full fueled podcast.
00:00:02
This is part 2 of a previously recorded episode.
00:00:04
If you wanna check out part 1, you can find it in the description below.
00:00:08
Thanks.
00:00:08
Well, the reality is also that that Parkinson's didn't that that didn't begin when they were
00:00:13
seventy years old.
00:00:14
That happened when they were thirty.
00:00:15
Those those things started building up.
00:00:17
Right?
00:00:17
And that's why I set it on a podcast that we had, Mike and Diana on is, like, you're setting
00:00:22
the stage now for that eighty five year old self that you you talk about when you're thirty
00:00:26
years Right?
00:00:27
You're putting into place how you're gonna age.
00:00:29
Right?
00:00:29
And if it's fast food, shit, sugar, garbage, all that, like, you are predisposing yourself
00:00:35
to metabolic disease down the line.
00:00:37
Yeah.
00:00:37
Hands down.
00:00:38
You're not gonna it starts now for sure.
00:00:40
On most of those dementia and, like, brain neuro cock if things happen right now.
00:00:44
So you're talking about metabolization and being a fast metabolizer.
00:00:49
And there was one thing that came out of, like, some of the research that I've been doing
00:00:53
recently, and because circadian rhythm is just such an important factor in terms of
00:00:58
understanding of how you're gonna be operating day to day.
00:01:01
And so we're just talking about this, but how fast and slow different people can metabolize
00:01:07
And so when you're a salomon's analyzer, you know, a lot of times we just naturally later in
00:01:12
the day wanna go after, like, caffeine loading or put putting caffeine in our body.
00:01:17
I'm actually a little bit slower.
00:01:19
And typically, you would think, oh, somebody that's overweight is a slow metabolizer.
00:01:22
That's actually not true.
00:01:23
It's different.
00:01:24
We come in.
00:01:24
Yeah.
00:01:25
So with me, if I drink caffeine, although I might not realize it, right, because I I
00:01:32
usually falsely pretty fast.
00:01:34
It still will impact my circadian rhythm because of the fact that I'm not getting into
00:01:38
REM sleep.
00:01:39
And so then my body insulates differently later in later the next day.
00:01:44
My hormone levels are a little bit a little bit off.
00:01:47
And it just naturally, you can set your clock in terms of, like, when you're waking up.
00:01:52
But the reality is is that if I'm a saloon metabolizer, I'm drinking caffeine at 2 to 3
00:01:58
PM.
00:01:58
I'm a type of guy.
00:01:59
That, like, I actually, I need to stop my caffeine take intake around, like, noon to know
00:02:04
that it's not gonna impact my sleep later that night just because of the way I metabolize.
00:02:08
Now you can get that through blood work and getting an understanding of how fast and slow
00:02:12
you're gonna metabolize things.
00:02:14
But, man, it is so important to understand the body's circadian rhythm because it naturally is
00:02:19
going to impact every hormone the following day or in how you're gonna operate.
00:02:23
And a lot of that's genetic.
00:02:25
So, like, genetic testing is huge, and I'm a big proponent of it.
00:02:28
I think everyone should kinda know what their genes are doing.
00:02:31
But that's not to say you're, like, limited.
00:02:32
We talk about this all the time.
00:02:33
You're not limited by your genetics either.
00:02:35
Oh, my dad has heart heart disease in my family.
00:02:38
You're, like, metabolic disease in my family.
00:02:40
It's like, bro, epigenetics is way more impactful than sticking to your genes.
00:02:44
Right?
00:02:44
Like, oh, I'm just this is my life.
00:02:46
Right?
00:02:46
I'm just gonna be fat and and out of shape.
00:02:48
No.
00:02:48
Because there's so many things you can do to hack your biology.
00:02:52
Right?
00:02:52
And so, like, that's one thing to know is, like, do I metabolize caffeine quick or slow.
00:02:57
My brother me and my brother are 1 year apart.
00:02:59
We've seen parents.
00:03:00
He could drink an espresso shot and go right to sleep and have great sleep.
00:03:04
Or it's like for me, like, it will keep my mind racing for sure.
00:03:06
And so it's like the metabolism you're talking about is like, basically, if you're like on a
00:03:10
graph, it's like, does it hit you quick and then wear off real quick, or does it slowly
00:03:14
rise and then slowly drop.
00:03:16
And so that's the fast versus slow.
00:03:18
And it's, I mean, different substances for different people, like, are different.
00:03:22
And then so that's just knowing your genetic variability.
00:03:24
You didn't do a genetic test to figure that out.
00:03:26
You just kind of found that out over time.
00:03:29
Right.
00:03:30
Well, no.
00:03:30
It it came in our optimizer blood work.
00:03:32
We know we have an understanding of that now.
00:03:34
Okay.
00:03:35
So you saw that.
00:03:35
Did you know before then?
00:03:37
Oh, absolutely.
00:03:37
Not.
00:03:38
No.
00:03:38
Yeah.
00:03:38
Yeah.
00:03:39
But I did no.
00:03:39
See, this is the wild thing about me though.
00:03:42
I will still go to sleep rather quickly, but it's not the sleep.
00:03:46
It's the quality of it.
00:03:47
It's the quality of the sleep.
00:03:48
So, like, it doesn't matter.
00:03:50
It's the same thing when, you drink.
00:03:53
Right?
00:03:53
People think like, oh, yeah.
00:03:54
I'm gonna I'm gonna, like, I'll drink tonight.
00:03:56
I'll have two or three glasses of, like, wine or whatever it might be.
00:03:59
But, like, if you do that at night, you'll go to sleep fast.
00:04:03
You'll likely go to sleep fast.
00:04:05
It's called passing out.
00:04:06
But then it's the REM sleep you're impacting.
00:04:09
Right?
00:04:09
And so your body's, what they call, like, your slow wave sleep.
00:04:14
And so those delta waves that happen within your slow wave sleep, it impacts you getting
00:04:19
into REM and having proper REM sleep, which is ultimately going to.
00:04:23
So, like, when you hit you if the depending on when you obviously metabolize too.
00:04:28
So, like, that there's variabilities that might change, but that is shifted out in your body,
00:04:34
your glucosus levels will, like, spike, right, when you have, like, wine.
00:04:40
Right?
00:04:40
There's a lot of glycogen and wine.
00:04:41
There's a lot of It's just naturally you're gonna get a lot of sugars.
00:04:44
And so as it's metabolizing, it's naturally gonna impact your body's circadian rhythm.
00:04:48
It's wild to, like, think about just like things that trigger and how you need to
00:04:52
associate.
00:04:53
Okay.
00:04:53
Like, when do you when do you partake in drinking?
00:04:56
Right?
00:04:56
It's actually a little bit better.
00:04:58
To do it earlier in the day.
00:05:00
Do that day drinking.
00:05:01
You're telling people that day drinking?
00:05:02
You're animal.
00:05:02
Yeah.
00:05:05
But understanding your body's circadian rhythm and, like, how how you're how things are gonna
00:05:10
process.
00:05:10
And then, ultimately, how embed that may impact your hormone levels.
00:05:13
I mean, that's all in a chronotype.
00:05:16
For sure.
00:05:16
Understanding your chronotype.
00:05:17
Yeah.
00:05:17
Yeah.
00:05:18
Man, Corey, tell us, okay.
00:05:20
So other than this product, which is the pre workout, what else are you working on?
00:05:23
Are you working on anything right now?
00:05:25
Yeah.
00:05:25
So as far as are you talking about in general or, like, the I'm creating, like, with the Van
00:05:29
Door Nutrition label?
00:05:30
Yeah.
00:05:30
With your brand.
00:05:31
Yeah.
00:05:31
Yeah.
00:05:31
So with my brand.
00:05:32
So, yeah, we have the transcendence.
00:05:33
I think the next product that we're gonna come out with and what's kind of been in the works.
00:05:37
Just the biggest the biggest hardest decision to always make is, like, the name of it.
00:05:41
Like, what you wanted to be because there's so many names.
00:05:43
It's important.
00:05:44
Pre workouts, pumps and stuff like that.
00:05:46
And, like, so many of them already taken.
00:05:48
You gotta, like, search and scan and stuff.
00:05:50
Transcendence was, like, kinda unique.
00:05:51
Obviously, there's no other transcendence.
00:05:53
There's, like, a couple companies that are, like, transcend or something like that, but
00:05:57
this one is unique.
00:05:59
As far as, like, a pump product, still don't have, like, an exact name on it, but that's
00:06:03
what I think I would wanna do is a pump.
00:06:05
So, like, a pre workout that's a non stim only because that's, like, the most requested thing.
00:06:10
They're like, when are you gonna get a a non stem?
00:06:12
Because I work out at nighttime or whatever.
00:06:14
So a lot of people don't just like you're saying,
00:06:15
they can't catch up.
00:06:16
Include?
00:06:17
What would you include?
00:06:18
So the thing that the thing that I would do with the pump since now, I can't have the
00:06:21
nitrogen in the new formula of trans I'm gonna I'm gonna put it in the pump because it is such
00:06:27
a great ingredient.
00:06:28
Yeah.
00:06:28
And then I'll probably load up maybe even do more citrulline than what's in there.
00:06:32
We just have the clinical dose that's in there, which is, like, the dose that they do research
00:06:35
with.
00:06:35
56 k.
00:06:36
Yeah.
00:06:36
That's actually going to, like, show, like, proven results.
00:06:40
Definitely gonna have beta in it.
00:06:42
Because I know people like to have an itch, and it's obviously there's it's not it's more than
00:06:46
just an itch with the beta.
00:06:47
Otherwise, you'd be like C4 and throwing Niacin in there, and then just, like, tingle.
00:06:52
Scratch your face off, but get, like, almost real no ben like, almost no real benefit
00:06:56
from it.
00:06:57
It's the oxidizer, though, too.
00:06:58
I'm gonna increase blood flow.
00:07:00
That's where you're looking to maximize.
00:07:02
Yeah.
00:07:03
And then glycerol.
00:07:04
You were
00:07:04
Yeah.
00:07:05
So glycerol, I have a couple products.
00:07:07
And over the years, I've had a couple pump products that have had glycerol powder in it.
00:07:11
And, It's
00:07:11
your skin type, bro.
00:07:13
Dude, but it chunks so bad in the container.
00:07:15
So people are always like, dude, you sent me shitty pre workout.
00:07:18
You sent me it's like, they open it, and they always send pictures of the inside all clumped
00:07:21
up.
00:07:22
There's literally nothing you can do.
00:07:23
We used to put 5 dry cards in the in there, but glycerol is gonna make it chunk always.
00:07:28
There's nothing you can do.
00:07:29
So Yes.
00:07:30
It's a great pump ingredient, but the downfall of of it, we have stickers.
00:07:34
We have stickers on one of our pumps that we have right now, and it says, clumps equals
00:07:38
pumps.
00:07:39
Like, if it's clumping in there, you know, because it It's
00:07:41
a way around it.
00:07:41
Yeah.
00:07:41
So what it does is it absorbs all of the water, like, and that's what it does, like, in you.
00:07:47
So if you're in Florida here and you open that tub up one time, that shit's gonna clump up.
00:07:50
Dude, it'll clump before it's ever even sealed unsealed.
00:07:52
It clumps even beforehand.
00:07:53
So it it's kinda crazy, but that's, like, gotta and that's how I have to, like, kind of word it
00:07:57
to everyone.
00:07:58
It's like, that's what it's gonna do because you put it in water, and you mix it, it mixes
00:08:02
up perfectly fine, but no one, like, to open up a clumped up brick.
00:08:06
You gotta mash it down.
00:08:07
We gotta scoop a little bit.
00:08:08
Yeah.
00:08:08
But that's what it does inside you.
00:08:10
Like, you drink it, and it's just gonna suck in all the water into your muscles.
00:08:13
You can give you sick pump.
00:08:14
So that's what it is.
00:08:16
Plumps equals pump.
00:08:18
Plumps, maybe.
00:08:19
I like that.
00:08:20
Pretty much.
00:08:20
But it's the glycerol router.
00:08:22
That's good.
00:08:22
Yeah.
00:08:22
I used to take a product.
00:08:23
I feel what it's called that had glycerol, and that was one of the best, like, it was like
00:08:26
that pump where, like, I did biceps, and I was like, my arm was Like, I couldn't scratch my
00:08:30
ear.
00:08:30
Yeah.
00:08:31
My arm was so pumped out.
00:08:32
It's like well, I like how I heard all of those.
00:08:34
Yep.
00:08:34
Yep.
00:08:34
Yep.
00:08:34
Too much.
00:08:36
One thing I wanna touch on, though, because like, when I first got into the supplement, the
00:08:40
pre workout industry, I I used to take I used to go to the supplement store, like, all grown
00:08:44
up.
00:08:45
Like, I think I first took pre workout.
00:08:46
Maybe I was, like, 9th grade or something.
00:08:48
And then I'd always go to the supplement store.
00:08:50
I'd get, like, 3 at a time, and I'd rotate them all because I always thought, like, oh, you get
00:08:54
used this when you get used to this once you, like, always circulate around.
00:08:57
And, like, sometimes I get a good workout.
00:08:59
Sometimes I wouldn't get a good workout.
00:09:01
And it wasn't until, like, And that's kind of why I I started taking one of the products, one
00:09:05
of the pre workouts from the, right around the time frame that I left college and kinda dialed
00:09:09
in on my nutrition.
00:09:10
And then, like, started focusing pre workout meals.
00:09:12
And I was like, oh, this pre workout is, like, a game changer.
00:09:14
This is, like, dope.
00:09:15
And then I started to, like, actually realize it was a great pre workout a lot better than,
00:09:19
all of the other ones, but realistically, determining whether or not you have a good
00:09:23
workout and have a good pump is gonna be based off of what you're eating.
00:09:26
Like, did you eat that day?
00:09:27
Did you have a bunch of carbs before you worked out that had what is your diet?
00:09:30
Like, were you hydrated?
00:09:31
Like, that's gonna be the real effect of of whether or not you're gonna get a good work
00:09:36
used to just think it was, like, which pre workout did I take which pre workout sucks,
00:09:39
which is bad, but most likely it was like, did I have, like, a bunch of oatmeal or a bunch of
00:09:44
rice or pasta or something that's, like, gonna give my glycogen source full.
00:09:49
And, like, because carbs carbs give you a pump.
00:09:51
You can get a carb pump.
00:09:52
You're not gonna out supplement, like, poor nutrition with any supplement.
00:09:55
I
00:09:55
mean Exactly.
00:09:56
Exactly.
00:09:57
So, I just I just thought that it was, like, really interesting, but, a lot of people need
00:10:02
to focus on that as well because some people will take protocol.
00:10:05
They'll be like, yeah.
00:10:06
Like, sometimes it's good, or sometimes it's not good, or, like, I don't I don't feel it
00:10:10
anymore.
00:10:10
It's like, how's your nutrition?
00:10:11
And they're like, I don't know.
00:10:12
I'm like, I don't pay attention to it.
00:10:13
It's like, okay.
00:10:14
Then that's where the missing control group is.
00:10:17
Just bringing up one more thing.
00:10:19
It's also like the micro vitamins that you're putting in.
00:10:22
And so it's like, yeah, it's important to I was telling my mom this last night of all things.
00:10:27
She hasn't figured out why, like, she goes to bed at, like, 11 o'clock.
00:10:32
She's like, if I go to bed before 11 o'clock, I'll I'll be up all night.
00:10:35
And I was like, have you ever your vitamin d supply.
00:10:38
I was like, do you know?
00:10:39
Do you know where your vitamin d lies?
00:10:41
And she she's like, no.
00:10:44
And I'm like, well, that's a that's a pretty important thing like, understand and know.
00:10:48
She's like, well, I'm out.
00:10:49
I'm out in the sun.
00:10:50
I was like, you live in Michigan, number 1.
00:10:53
I'm in Florida, and I have my shirt off, like, 80% of the time I'm home.
00:10:58
Like, it never off.
00:10:58
Take it off right now.
00:11:00
Pop that top.
00:11:01
Pop that top, Patty Duke.
00:11:02
I told that to Jake Campbell.
00:11:04
Pop that top, bro.
00:11:05
So I have my shirt off.
00:11:07
Right?
00:11:08
I'm I'd like when I get home, I take off my shoes.
00:11:11
Like, I, like, I mean, not that I intentionally ground, but I, like, that's a part of, like,
00:11:15
kind of that grounding is just to neutralize.
00:11:17
So I like taking off my shoes and socks, taking off my shirt, just, like, being half naked,
00:11:22
pretty much majority of the time.
00:11:23
Pretty much.
00:11:23
Which I think everyone should be.
00:11:25
I at least guys.
00:11:26
And she's like, I don't know.
00:11:27
I get enough vitamin d.
00:11:28
And I'm like, no, you don't because I was deficient vitamin d until I measured it.
00:11:32
And so I was like, if I'm deficient in vitamin d, I guarantee you, and I live in Florida, the
00:11:38
sunshine state, Like, that is the reason why, like, your sleep is getting impacted, and
00:11:44
you're, like, exposing yourself to blue lights.
00:11:46
There's a number I love you.
00:11:47
There's, like, sleep things that you can go into.
00:11:50
But, like, vitamin D is so crucial.
00:11:52
So getting those micro vitamins in, that's why we built out the optimizers pack.
00:11:57
To, like, make sure you're getting that proper micro supplementation.
00:12:00
It's not even a vitamin.
00:12:01
It's a pro hormone.
00:12:02
Yeah.
00:12:02
Vitamin d creates cholesterol or works with cholesterol to create your heart your sex
00:12:07
hormones.
00:12:07
Like testosterone, estrogen, all that.
00:12:09
So vitamin DIG, it's a I don't know where the name came from, to be honest.
00:12:13
I probably could look that up, but it's not actually a vitamin.
00:12:16
That's what people don't understand.
00:12:17
But
00:12:17
But you can supplement it.
00:12:18
You can supplement it.
00:12:19
Yeah.
00:12:19
Yeah.
00:12:20
Yeah.
00:12:20
But You can supplement it.
00:12:21
And then what vitamin d, though, my understanding, and I'd I honestly could be
00:12:26
wrong on this, but vitamin d, secretes melatonin.
00:12:31
So you naturally have better sleep when you secrete Melatonin.
00:12:34
So it's like the storage bank.
00:12:36
Right?
00:12:36
So Melatonin, when you go outside, like, people think that they are, like, their melatonin is
00:12:45
just, like, his bank.
00:12:45
Like, they can get it through property.
00:12:45
Like, you can obviously supplement
00:12:50
Well, that's a hormone too.
00:12:51
Right?
00:12:51
So it's like if you don't have enough vitamin d, you're not creating all these things.
00:12:54
Right?
00:12:54
These processes aren't gonna happen in the body.
00:12:56
Right.
00:12:57
So that's kinda, yeah, yeah, 100%.
00:12:59
And so then when you engage, like, Melatonin's immediately engaged when you get into it's your
00:13:03
darkness drug.
00:13:05
And so, like, when you go into darkness, that's when Melatonin is naturally.
00:13:08
Okay.
00:13:09
Like, the body's understanding the
00:13:10
body thinks it's going to bed.
00:13:11
Right?
00:13:11
Sleep time.
00:13:12
And so but if you don't have an efficient amount of melatonin supply built up, through
00:13:17
getting that vitamin d, getting outside.
00:13:19
That's when it's stored throughout the day.
00:13:21
Right?
00:13:22
And so that's when it comes so crucial to have that level of supplementation involved in there
00:13:27
too.
00:13:27
Well, that's supplement?
00:13:29
Do you
00:13:29
Yeah.
00:13:30
I don't I don't take, like, a bunch of, like, multivate.
00:13:32
I pretty much just take I take juice plus.
00:13:34
It's like a green it's like a condensed fruits and vegetables blend, and I take some omegas.
00:13:37
And then I just ran out.
00:13:39
Like, yesterday, I gotta go get more, but I started taking zinc.
00:13:42
I think it's zinc.
00:13:43
Okay.
00:13:43
And I just take, like, 80 milligrams.
00:13:45
So I don't I don't know if that's too much or too little.
00:13:47
I've found
00:13:48
it for research, but,
00:13:49
yeah, just 50.
00:13:50
But, yeah, that's that's about it other than whatever stuff is in, like, the the amino acid
00:13:54
blends, the electrolytes that I take Yeah.
00:13:56
As far as micro nutrients go.
00:13:58
Do you do you measure sleep as well?
00:14:01
Yeah, my my watch does.
00:14:02
I like to think that it's kind of accurate, but, I mean, it's a it's a garment.
00:14:06
So I don't know.
00:14:07
Do you have any
00:14:08
the technology is pretty good nowadays.
00:14:10
I mean, they're all if it's one of the more recent ones, for sure.
00:14:13
I think they're all somewhat similar, you know, and, like, I think the biggest thing with that
00:14:17
is, like, using the same device.
00:14:19
Like, don't track your sleep one night with that and then the next night, use an or a ring,
00:14:22
and then the next night using Apple Watch is gonna be all over the place.
00:14:24
You don't know if that's going
00:14:25
I feel like, yeah, even if it's not a 100% accurate, at least it can be
00:14:29
At least it's 10% off each time.
00:14:31
Yeah.
00:14:31
Yeah.
00:14:31
Yeah.
00:14:31
Right?
00:14:31
Like, yeah.
00:14:32
I agree.
00:14:33
I I was doing the whoop man.
00:14:34
So I measured the whoop man for about a year.
00:14:37
And, like, my sleep was relatively good.
00:14:39
The one thing that I didn't love is, like, a wearable, like, when I was sleeping.
00:14:43
Like, I think something.
00:14:44
Yeah.
00:14:44
I didn't love it.
00:14:45
Yeah.
00:14:46
So a lot of guys do, the ordering.
00:14:49
I know that gets really good feedback too.
00:14:52
Okay.
00:14:52
I probably that probably would be something a little bit better for me just because it's on,
00:14:56
but I don't even wear rings.
00:14:58
But, you know, that it's awesome to track your sleep.
00:15:01
I just chose to do it for a year because I was like, I wanna see what range I'm in.
00:15:05
If I'm getting proper REM, just because that's, like, so important to, like, overall health and
00:15:10
longevity.
00:15:11
One of the things we're talking about was, like, Like, we predispositions are, like, where
00:15:17
we can make excuses in terms of where those lie.
00:15:21
And so, like, if people make excuses, oh, my, like, my mom and dad at, like dementia or,
00:15:27
Parkinson's or whatever it might be.
00:15:29
And the one crucial thing going back to that thing I said earlier in the podcast of, like,
00:15:34
did my eighty five year old self thank me thank me for what I did today.
00:15:38
That, like, all those, like, precursors exercise expanding your VO 2 max, getting
00:15:43
proper sleep, delays that.
00:15:45
Right?
00:15:46
So even though that might be in your genetic makeup, that pushes that out, right, And so,
00:15:51
like, if I'm doing these things, these naturally will, like, be pushed out.
00:15:55
So maybe your mom, your mom, or your dad, might've got Parkinson's when they're seventy
00:16:00
years old.
00:16:00
The reality that might be in your genetic makeup still.
00:16:03
Well, the reality is also that that Parkinson's didn't that
00:16:06
that didn't begin when they
00:16:06
were seventy years old.
00:16:09
That happened when they were 30.
00:16:10
Those those things started building up.
00:16:11
Right?
00:16:12
And that's why I said it on a podcast that we had, Micah and Diane on is, like, you are
00:16:16
setting the stage now for that eighty five year old self that you you talk about when you're
00:16:20
thirty years old, right, you're putting into place how you're gonna age.
00:16:24
Right?
00:16:24
And if it's fast food, shit, sugar, garbage, all that.
00:16:28
Like, you are predisposing yourself to metabolic disease down the line.
00:16:31
Yeah.
00:16:32
Hands out.
00:16:32
You're not gonna it starts now for sure.
00:16:35
Oh, most of those dementia and, like, brain neurocognitive things happen like now.
00:16:39
When do you because I've had this conversation actually with, like, one of a a client that
00:16:43
started literally Monday.
00:16:44
A lot of people, they don't realize, like, and like you were saying with the basketball, like,
00:16:48
there's people in their twenties And I I know people that are my age, and they're like, oh,
00:16:51
dude, like, back in my day, I used to be able to do that.
00:16:53
And they're like, beer belly now and, like, act like in, like, someone like you or, like, I
00:16:58
know people that are in their forties, fifties that are, like, super active 6 pack, like,
00:17:02
whatever.
00:17:03
They're in great shape and, like, the the number isn't campaign excuse for something
00:17:06
that's, like, in their twenties.
00:17:07
But with my client, the conversation that he was saying, he's like, dude, I'm like, I'm 28
00:17:11
now.
00:17:12
It's like, got a long looking for longevity.
00:17:14
I'm trying to, like, dial it in.
00:17:15
Now is the time to, like, learn everything I can about nutrition, training, how I can, like,
00:17:20
be in the best shape ever and play with my grandkids and not, like, be dead or, like, be,
00:17:25
like, metabolically sick or just sick or have an illness.
00:17:28
When is, like, the turning point for, like, the majority of people you think that they, like,
00:17:32
start focusing on that?
00:17:38
If you wanna hear your question answered live on the show, submit it to ask at fullfuel.com,
00:17:43
check out the optimizers program where we build max muscle improve longevity get guys freaking
00:17:49
shredded so that they can crush it at life for as long as possible.
00:17:58
Yeah.
00:17:58
What I've seen specifically, because we target 30 plus.
00:17:59
Right?
00:17:59
But it's in that 30 range where people start And, you know, I think kids have, like, a major
00:18:07
factor in that too.
00:18:09
Mine wasn't.
00:18:09
I, man, I went through a state of depression in my, like, my mid twenties because I'm like, I
00:18:15
didn't go play basketball.
00:18:17
I could've played collegiate basketball and just was like, I didn't I should've gone to a
00:18:21
juco school.
00:18:22
Like, worked up my skill set a little bit more, and then I could've gone.
00:18:25
I was probably prepared mentally then.
00:18:27
And I'm like, I chose not to because I had a bad attitude.
00:18:31
And so then I got out of that, and I just was like, my best days are behind me.
00:18:35
Like, not gonna play basketball again.
00:18:37
And so that mentality was like, I held on to that for, like, 3 or 4 years, man.
00:18:42
I'd like, I shoulda.
00:18:43
I shoulda.
00:18:43
I shoulda.
00:18:44
But then on the outset of that, you know, I'd like I talk about this all the time, but I,
00:18:49
like, went into celebrate recovery program.
00:18:51
And I'm like, god, like, like, I I need to figure my mindset out.
00:18:56
Right?
00:18:56
I, like, please, And so I thought it was for a bunch of drug addicts, but the reality is it
00:19:02
was, like, exactly what I needed.
00:19:04
And so, like, I read this Bible cover to cover I'm like, oh, I get that.
00:19:07
Like, I gotta I got all these stories, but then it became like, dude, my best days are ahead of
00:19:13
me no matter what.
00:19:14
Like, I if I'm walking and breathing, like somebody asked me how I'm doing, dude, I had a
00:19:18
couple l's pat the past week and, in some, like, just the investment activities.
00:19:23
That I was working on.
00:19:25
And, and the guy asked me how I was doing.
00:19:27
I was like, dude, freaking, I'm blessed, man.
00:19:30
I'm
00:19:30
walking and I'm crazy.
00:19:31
Blessed.
00:19:32
I'm walking on breathing.
00:19:33
Yeah.
00:19:33
And so there and there's that days.
00:19:36
Like, everyone's rock bottom is different.
00:19:38
So, like, there's variability amongst everyone.
00:19:40
But what I've seen, honestly, it's where guys specifically, we're talking about in the realm
00:19:46
of guys, right, because I can empathize with guys is that in their thirties, they're still,
00:19:52
like, they're they wanna be high earners.
00:19:54
They wanna and then they start having kids.
00:19:57
Like, they probably get married and start having kids.
00:19:59
But, like, just the busyness of life, they're like, dude, I don't have time for this anymore.
00:20:03
I gotta run my kids to I gotta run my kids to, Freaking soccer every weekend.
00:20:09
And then I gotta and then I gotta work, you know, 12 hours a day.
00:20:13
But how inefficient do you become then And, like, and then they get lack of clarity.
00:20:18
And then every year, they're adding on £23 and then it won't now I'm £30 overweight.
00:20:24
And that's when, like, I don't wanna get myself out of breath again.
00:20:27
I don't wanna do all these things that are really, really uncomfortable
00:20:31
harder to start again.
00:20:32
Yeah.
00:20:32
It's super, super hard.
00:20:34
And so that turning point then becomes, man, I I let myself go for the past, like, 10 years.
00:20:39
Like, you know, like, 26 man.
00:20:41
Like, I look back.
00:20:42
I like, oh, I I look good then, but shoot, man.
00:20:45
Look at me now.
00:20:46
And he usually is like a picture.
00:20:48
You know, of a guys that are hitting rock bottom, they're like, what?
00:20:53
When they realize that when they realize
00:20:55
it show themself back then, they're like, damn.
00:20:57
Yeah.
00:20:57
That's a bad angle.
00:20:58
I'm a big believer.
00:20:59
You know, I I coach people through this too, but I'm a big believer in, wherever you are,
00:21:05
like, no matter what, you have to, you have to project into the through vocalization, really,
00:21:14
like, tell either looking yourself in the mirror or telling other people.
00:21:17
I'm a big believer in telling other people too.
00:21:19
I, like, I don't even care.
00:21:20
Even if you weren't there of where you're going.
00:21:23
Right?
00:21:24
And so, like, that verbalization over and over again until it becomes a redo redefinition of
00:21:28
that that truth narrative of and that's where I go.
00:21:33
We came up with this concept of the forever athlete.
00:21:36
It's like, I don't care if you're £30 overweight.
00:21:38
I don't care if you thought you were an athlete at, like, 18 or 22 or 26 or whatever.
00:21:43
Like, you still are.
00:21:45
And then it's that projection of what where you're going.
00:21:48
Right?
00:21:48
And so with me, I dude, I like I probably I have a decent vertical still right now.
00:21:53
Like, I mean, I can't I I can't, like, dunk, dunk, dunk, but I can I can pop up and grab
00:22:00
grab, you know, the rim both bands?
00:22:01
And I'm like, dude, coming on coming up on 40, Like, that that's, like, there's a progression
00:22:07
in that.
00:22:07
Right?
00:22:09
Eventually, that probably will go away, but I'm gonna age gracefully into that approach, but it
00:22:13
usually is in that 30 time frame where you'll just see the business and busyness of life that
00:22:19
they just let it go.
00:22:20
That's it.
00:22:21
Yeah.
00:22:21
I think like, transition slowly, like, late twenties to early thirties is, like, that shift
00:22:26
starts to happen.
00:22:26
You get out of college.
00:22:27
You still got energy because you're in your twenties, but you start take on more
00:22:30
responsibility.
00:22:31
Maybe, you know, you got some kids.
00:22:32
Now you're getting promoted.
00:22:34
And it's like, those priorities take over the fitness priority for most people.
00:22:38
Right?
00:22:39
Like, were outliers in this realm.
00:22:41
I I never was not fit, like, my third after high school.
00:22:44
You know
00:22:44
what I mean?
00:22:45
Like, I've always been.
00:22:46
So but I prioritized it.
00:22:48
Most people don't.
00:22:49
And so I think my take to that then is, like, it will never be easier to make that change
00:22:54
than it is right now.
00:22:55
It's always gonna just every day you prolong it, it's gonna get a little harder.
00:22:58
Gonna get a little harder.
00:22:59
So you gotta change it right now, whether that's a little bit or a lot, you choose,
00:23:03
right, like, however you wanna go about that, but it's it's not gonna get any easier the more
00:23:07
you would, like, sit on that.
00:23:09
You know what I mean?
00:23:10
That's why we do this podcast too because at the end of the day, like, I think that
00:23:13
narrative is changing, though.
00:23:15
People are thinking at 20 He was 28.
00:23:18
Your client?
00:23:18
Yeah.
00:23:18
Yeah.
00:23:19
About to be.
00:23:19
Yep.
00:23:20
About to be 28.
00:23:21
So, no, your client.
00:23:22
Your client
00:23:23
is about to be 28.
00:23:25
Okay.
00:23:25
Younger than me.
00:23:26
Yeah.
00:23:26
So you know, that narrative is changing where you're seeing guys, like, got I I I see guys,
00:23:34
like, in their their like, late forties and fifties where longevity isn't even on their
00:23:40
thing.
00:23:40
They're just like, I'm aging, like, whatever.
00:23:42
It's naturally to gain weight.
00:23:43
But, like, I think in the twenties and thirties now, like, that generation, the millennial
00:23:49
generation is thinking a little bit differently.
00:23:51
I think they're catching it a little bit earlier.
00:23:53
Like, man, I'm I'm like, I'm digressing, like, pretty quickly, and I need to I need to catch
00:23:58
up on this.
00:23:59
And I think that dialogue is shifting, the narrative shifting a lot more with the way
00:24:05
information is exposed now.
00:24:06
So, like, I, you know, when I chose to do cold water, it started for me, it started cold water
00:24:12
therapy, right, I started doing cold water therapy probably about, like, 29:30 is when,
00:24:19
like, cold showers is how I introduce myself to it.
00:24:21
Right?
00:24:22
And then I'm like, well, there's gotta be a little bit more to this, right, and then
00:24:25
building that up last year, though, which I don't believe in this.
00:24:29
And I I think we on this a little bit prior to the podcast, but, like, you know, fasting has
00:24:34
been this, like, hot topic.
00:24:35
So I guinea pig myself with fasting, lost an insane amount of muscle mass.
00:24:39
Like, an insane amount of muscle mass.
00:24:41
Right?
00:24:42
Yeah.
00:24:42
Because I was still focusing on cardiovascular.
00:24:44
I was fasting, like, a day a week and that for, like, a full 24 hours.
00:24:49
And when we talk about fasting, it's 18 plus hours, a fasting.
00:24:52
Right?
00:24:53
Probably under protein, though.
00:24:54
Oh, under protein as well.
00:24:55
I was, yeah, because I test it
00:24:57
out, like, if you get to see, make sure
00:24:58
it wasn't getting nearly enough protein in.
00:25:00
No.
00:25:00
No.
00:25:01
So although I was, like, I was operating at a high level.
00:25:04
I'd lay literally, I mean, my cardiovascular was phenomenal.
00:25:07
Yeah.
00:25:08
But the reality is that's that's not the component of longevity with that, dude.
00:25:12
Died, but
00:25:12
I think you tanked your tea with that shit because you said you were I didn't know you
00:25:15
went vegan.
00:25:16
I love to do that for
00:25:17
Not very long.
00:25:17
I mean, I, like, I tested it out for a month.
00:25:20
It it was just so hard to get food, like, the right food in going vegan.
00:25:24
So, like, I periodically, I I I don't think it's bad to, like, you know, test that out,
00:25:30
trigger your body, you were saying that level of like
00:25:32
I mean, I use vegan in those detoxes because you're get you know, it's, say, easily,
00:25:37
consumable stuff.
00:25:38
Your body's gonna break down pretty easily, but you're not getting the immuno acids.
00:25:42
You know what I mean?
00:25:43
And that's where you lost muscles.
00:25:44
You didn't have amino acids or complete protein sources and then freaking burning it.
00:25:49
Right?
00:25:50
Yeah.
00:25:50
Yeah.
00:25:51
But
00:25:52
to go back to the point, man.
00:25:53
I I think the narrative is changing.
00:25:55
The the narrative, for sure, I think people are in their twenties.
00:25:59
Are thinking that way, They're like, man, I'll let a few years go by.
00:26:02
One big thing that I've seen is that, you know, I focus on money too.
00:26:06
I believe in wealth.
00:26:07
Right?
00:26:08
And and that, like, you you would still build wealth, but does it come at the compromise of
00:26:14
your health?
00:26:14
Because you get to choose what's more important, and they can have a symbiotic
00:26:19
relationship, right, that you don't need to make money on fitness like what we do.
00:26:24
And teaching people this stuff.
00:26:25
But the reality is is that you can put it as, like, that number 1 as you're setting that
00:26:32
standard and then that wealth component, yeah, you might make a little less money.
00:26:36
I don't think that's the case.
00:26:38
I think you'll make more money in the long run.
00:26:40
The discipline of being fit will help you in
00:26:42
And is the reason why I believe this because this is what I love about being an entrepreneur
00:26:47
is this is the way I think.
00:26:48
I don't think in a scarcity mindset, because if I can maintain my health the likelihood is I
00:26:53
can be more efficient and likely live longer and be able to work longer because I'm never
00:26:58
gonna retire.
00:26:59
Right?
00:26:59
That's true.
00:26:59
So if I'm it it it I can pick and choose.
00:27:03
I still pick and choose of the hours of the day I'd like wanna work.
00:27:06
I work very hard right now, but I also put in that of, like, health is my main priority
00:27:11
because number 1, and I say this all the time in our podcast with kids, things do trigger.
00:27:16
You gotta go from?
00:27:18
Yeah.
00:27:18
Yeah.
00:27:18
Alright.
00:27:19
So you don't have any kids, though.
00:27:20
Right?
00:27:21
Not yet.
00:27:21
No.
00:27:21
So It's good.
00:27:23
Not that when when a kid comes into your life, right, that a big piece for me is now I'm a
00:27:29
model.
00:27:30
Like, I got I model that.
00:27:32
Right?
00:27:32
And so I'm modeling whatever I'm doing.
00:27:35
And so if I'm if I'm not modeling correctly, I'm not setting a standard that, like, I want
00:27:42
them to be.
00:27:42
Right?
00:27:43
And so I'm, like, then I'm mitigating, like, mitigating risk.
00:27:45
Do I want this kid to be, like Do
00:27:47
you want your kid to be fat lazy?
00:27:48
Right.
00:27:48
No.
00:27:49
Why are you fat lazy?
00:27:49
Yeah.
00:27:50
Exactly.
00:27:50
Everything you do.
00:27:51
My kids do everything I do.
00:27:53
Exactly.
00:27:53
And you're incorporating them into those things.
00:27:55
So we do everything together, like, one one thing that we have, and this is a small little
00:28:00
tidbit hack that I think so many people could take away.
00:28:04
You never sit down after dinner.
00:28:04
We always walk.
00:28:04
We walk a mile ever after every after every dinner, we never sit down and watch TV or on
00:28:15
our tablets.
00:28:16
We get together as a family.
00:28:17
My daughter told me this last night.
00:28:19
She'd say, dad, you Always always say, like, we need to go for a walk.
00:28:23
And I'm like, absolutely.
00:28:24
Because we're setting a standard.
00:28:25
Right?
00:28:25
She's gonna remember that, like, her whole life.
00:28:27
How old is she?
00:28:28
She's 4.
00:28:29
She's gonna just well,
00:28:29
you're gonna keep saying it, but she's always looking for that.
00:28:32
Yeah.
00:28:32
So here's
00:28:32
the thing dad always did.
00:28:34
The first 10 minutes after dinner are the most important things that you can do for your
00:28:37
health.
00:28:38
And, so, like, you can you can become static or you can get up and walk when we choose to walk
00:28:42
as a family.
00:28:43
So, anyways, you know, that's that's been the case with my life, but I think there is I think
00:28:47
they're a a strong narrative is changing right now.
00:28:50
Yeah.
00:28:50
Definitely.
00:28:51
But
00:28:52
And it takes it takes guys like us to, like, educate people because that's a lot of it too.
00:28:57
And we talk about this all the time.
00:28:58
It's like, there's just such a lack of knowledge in the realm.
00:29:00
Like, you're taught all this curriculum in school and, like, That knows I'm, like, a
00:29:05
little anti, like, but, like, like, conventional school.
00:29:07
Like, I just think they teach you all this stuff that, like, you don't use in real life.
00:29:12
Like, history is great, but I can Google that anytime I want.
00:29:15
Why don't they teach kids how to do taxes?
00:29:17
Why don't they teach kids how to run a business?
00:29:18
Why don't they teach kids how to healthy.
00:29:20
Like, what schools is that freaking taught in?
00:29:22
They gave you pizza and shit for lunch at a whole time.
00:29:25
Just say that, like, the the model is not the mod like, any parents listening, the model is
00:29:30
not out there for your kids.
00:29:31
You gotta be that model.
00:29:33
So Huge.
00:29:34
And, yeah, I mean.
00:29:34
Take that with you.
00:29:36
100%.
00:29:36
I'm sure
00:29:37
you gotta go out this guy, bro.
00:29:38
He's gonna be crushed.
00:29:40
And kids
00:29:40
are gonna be dialed, man.
00:29:42
Dialed, man.
00:29:42
You are.
00:29:43
You're dialed.
00:29:43
Well, I appreciate coming on the show, man.
00:29:45
Let me
00:29:45
ask one more question, bro.
00:29:46
We ask this all the time.
00:29:47
It's a full fueled question.
00:29:49
We have 6 pillars, fuel, movement, sleep, mind, spirit, and work.
00:29:55
Right?
00:29:55
And if you got all 6 of those things dialed in, like you are functioning high level at all of
00:29:59
them, that's being full fueled.
00:30:01
What does that look like for Corey Van Dorn?
00:30:04
So I have the 3 that are dialed in right now because break it down differently with, like,
00:30:09
my clients and, like, my people, I break it down into 3.
00:30:13
It's gonna be the training, the nutrition, and then the rest of recovery.
00:30:16
And then I'd break it down almost, like, like, at Square, and then it's, like, the quantity,
00:30:19
the quality, and the timing of each of those 3.
00:30:21
And then if you can break it down into those 9, so I think I got those 3 unlocked.
00:30:25
What were the the other 3 in your
00:30:27
spirit, work, and mind.
00:30:29
I mean, and then sleeps the the one too, but you had rest recovery.
00:30:32
So, yeah, I'd say spirit, work, and mind are probably the ones
00:30:35
I would say I would say I need to definitely work on the, the mind 1.
00:30:39
I just wanna I I mean, I'm always trying to learn, but I think I just I can definitely
00:30:43
double down on that.
00:30:44
I mean, I'm Gross.
00:30:45
On, like, 10 x on, like, training nutrition, rest, and recovery.
00:30:48
I got that down to a tee, expanding, my knowledge learning more and more and more.
00:30:52
That's what I wanna really, like, do these next, like, forever, really, but, like, really
00:30:57
hammer down on right now.
00:30:58
And along with, like, mindset too.
00:30:59
Right?
00:30:59
It's like, are you in a growth mindset or are you in a scarcity mindset, which we talk about
00:31:03
all the time?
00:31:04
Like, is it scarcity?
00:31:05
Am I thinking like, oh, what could happen, or am I like, no.
00:31:07
Fuck at go for it.
00:31:08
It works.
00:31:09
It works, man.
00:31:09
Like, you know, but always, like, pushing forward and I I'd take risks, you know, me,
00:31:14
man.
00:31:14
I'm, like, the type to, like, jump first, like, see what's underneath me after.
00:31:18
Like, you know what I mean?
00:31:19
Let's just jump, bro.
00:31:20
If there's rocks, there's rocks.
00:31:21
If there's water, it's cool.
00:31:23
Yeah.
00:31:23
There's there's gonna be a parachute on the way down.
00:31:25
Somebody's gonna jump off a cliff onto rocks and freaking blame me for that.
00:31:28
So that was a metaphor for anyone listening.
00:31:31
It's a metaphor.
00:31:32
Yeah.
00:31:32
No.
00:31:32
I think it's from, I'm super nerdy when it comes to that, but, like, if you have that
00:31:36
longevity mindset of, like, preparing your mind and, consistently growing, there's that there's
00:31:42
that neurological component that creates more neuroplasticity within the brain.
00:31:46
The more you read, the more you consume, the more knowledge you can have.
00:31:50
It just is ultimately just gonna make you more powerful human.
00:31:53
So that's what it's about, surrounding yourself with the right people.
00:31:56
Consistently learning, growing.
00:31:58
That's living full field.
00:31:59
That's living full field.
00:32:00
Full field, maybe in full field.
00:32:01
Corey Van Duorn, thanks so much, brother.
00:32:03
Appreciate you guys Avenue, man.
00:32:05
They're full fuel.
00:32:05
I should have.
00:32:06
Full fuel.
00:32:06
They're full fuel.
00:32:07
They'll be out limits.
