00:00:00
What's up, baby?
00:00:01
My man.
00:00:02
He's going out.
00:00:03
We're back.
00:00:03
Full fueled.
00:00:04
Getting into episode 1 here, buddy.
00:00:06
Is it
00:00:07
is it like
00:00:08
full fuel?
00:00:09
They're like, I think we're getting aggressive.
00:00:10
I'm trying to live my life full fuel.
00:00:12
Oh, I like to play out fulfill, you know, because I just have a fulfilling life, but
00:00:16
everything I'm doing takes fueling me.
00:00:18
Right?
00:00:18
And so what I put into my body, the exercise I do is actually fueling me with heavy chemicals.
00:00:23
Right?
00:00:23
All of it is.
00:00:25
Yeah.
00:00:25
We'll
00:00:25
always have an intake for that.
00:00:27
Man, today, season 1 episode 1, we're gonna we're gonna tap into the crisis that I call
00:00:33
American food and basically, like, what's going on in this country, man, with with the way that
00:00:39
these foods that are marketed to people, even like health foods that are not really health
00:00:44
foods.
00:00:44
And we touched on this in the last episode, but these hyper palatable foods that are just
00:00:49
shoved into people's face over and over.
00:00:51
And then, man, once you try it, the the response in your brain, the dopamine that's
00:00:55
released, that, like, addictive feeling is what they want.
00:01:00
Right?
00:01:00
They want you to come back and to buy more to buy more.
00:01:03
And ultimately, when you get into conspiracy theories, all you want, and then I can go with
00:01:08
the best of them all conspiracies, but it's it's to to keep people living just, like, kind
00:01:13
of at this, like, basic level, not really dry Yeah.
00:01:16
Because what's like a what's a controllable, like, like, person?
00:01:20
Right?
00:01:20
Somebody who's just kinda like there.
00:01:21
You know, somebody whose whose brain is optimized thinking well for themselves, it's
00:01:25
gonna be harder for you to control.
00:01:27
Yeah.
00:01:27
They're gonna be outliers.
00:01:28
Right?
00:01:29
So, yeah, that's what we're gonna get into, man, is this, American food kind of like
00:01:34
epidemic of of just toxins, right, that are really pushed into our society.
00:01:39
And I have some some some points we're gonna touch on, but, you know, one is, like, that
00:01:43
leads to just these these alarming rates of obesity.
00:01:49
I think it's 60% of people now.
00:01:51
Our answer is an overweight or obese.
00:01:52
That's you know what?
00:01:53
You're the same.
00:01:54
That's a majority.
00:01:55
It's insane.
00:01:56
Insane.
00:01:57
You know, it's wild though to think about.
00:01:59
And, we we have a growing population.
00:02:02
I had an argument that I had to actually I was like, man, I actually do agree with you.
00:02:07
So I think I thought, right, I thought was I was, kind of arguing my father-in-law that we
00:02:14
have a more sedentary lifestyle.
00:02:16
Like, more people have sedentary lifestyle.
00:02:18
He gave me his argument, and I tend to think that we that's actually not true.
00:02:26
And the reason why I think that, right, is that I think people are moment.
00:02:30
Like, we we live, like, somewhat active life people are busier now, yeah, more than they've
00:02:36
ever been.
00:02:37
We're more now more efficient than we've ever been.
00:02:40
Like, we have to think of it that way.
00:02:42
Right?
00:02:42
Technology hasn't made us do more efficient.
00:02:44
We are constantly moving individuals, but the one thing we're tapping into is what they are
00:02:51
stuffing their frigging faces with.
00:02:53
Right.
00:02:53
Yeah.
00:02:54
A full of refined sugars.
00:02:55
Yeah.
00:02:56
And it it doesn't even have to be refined sugars.
00:02:58
Now they're putting cane sugar on there.
00:03:00
Which is, like
00:03:01
Oh, it's tell you.
00:03:02
It's healthier organic cage show.
00:03:05
It's like There's no 50 grand.
00:03:06
It could be a networking thing.
00:03:08
Yeah.
00:03:08
Yeah.
00:03:08
Like, Dude, how how do you get away with it?
00:03:10
And then and then also we're which I know we're gonna go down rabbit holes here with,
00:03:16
nutrition.
00:03:18
The fentanyl of all sugar sucralose, right, is like, you know what?
00:03:22
Do do you look at it?
00:03:23
It's like literally a fentanyl of sugar.
00:03:25
Like, you just put a touch in it.
00:03:29
It explodes up there with, Sweden to get you to come back again.
00:03:33
Then again.
00:03:33
That's right.
00:03:34
And, again, And
00:03:34
that was developed by food scientists who said, how do we get people hooked on this product?
00:03:39
Because that's the business model.
00:03:40
Right.
00:03:41
And never ending customer You just gonna constantly buy yourself.
00:03:43
Right?
00:03:43
So how do we get them addicted to our stuff that they're gonna just continue to come out?
00:03:47
Just over and over and
00:03:48
over again.
00:03:49
But I don't know if you we had planned on kinda going to this direction this quick, but, you
00:03:55
know, with that food addiction, so, like, everyone that comes out with a product, I came
00:04:00
out with a product, but one thing that we weren't willing to do was to be like, hey, this
00:04:07
is we're making we're making this so sweet that, like, people are absolutely gonna be
00:04:13
addicted to it.
00:04:13
Like, right?
00:04:14
We wanted to have whole just ingredients.
00:04:18
I realized that ultra processed foods are not necessarily the best, but sometimes they're
00:04:23
needed.
00:04:23
Right?
00:04:24
In terms of, like, activation of, like, hey, carbohydrates getting into
00:04:28
something that's quick if
00:04:28
you're going into a distance run, right, bike drive, whatever it might be.
00:04:36
Right?
00:04:36
Quick carbohydrates are good at times.
00:04:38
However, I even
00:04:38
find myself doing this all on, like, snacking
00:04:44
and not snacking on whole foods.
00:04:44
So and it was, like, kind of a house divided divided because my
00:04:51
wife buys our kids, like, processed foods, you know, and they have these things called dwarf
00:04:57
starch that isn't Greging literally everything across the board.
00:05:03
It's all in our breads, that great bad gut bacteria.
00:05:06
It, is in all, like, frigging a pepper, pepper, beverage, farms Oh, goldfish, which I love,
00:05:13
dude.
00:05:13
I think it's Smash out those things.
00:05:15
Right?
00:05:15
Fressels, anything, right, is starch.
00:05:17
You'll find starch to work starch.
00:05:19
That's that's fake starch.
00:05:20
Like, it's, like, literally, I mean, with the, starch.
00:05:24
It's enhanced, genetic, genetically modified starch.
00:05:28
Actually, Mark Hyman, he talks, he talks quite a bit about this, but two things that, like, I
00:05:34
focus on now is reducing the amount of refined shavers that I have in my diet, but made it
00:05:39
massive impact.
00:05:40
Right?
00:05:41
You were talking about thyroid being a major thing.
00:05:44
And it's a it's a precursor server, like, it's slowing down your thyroid.
00:05:48
Right?
00:05:48
Yeah.
00:05:49
And then, the other thing is refined sugars, poor sugars, and right, the more sugars you
00:05:53
put, if they aren't coming from a Whole Foods source are naturally going to pack on weight.
00:06:00
Right.
00:06:01
So, yeah, I don't know.
00:06:02
I mean, Mark Hyman, great book, forever young.
00:06:04
We can tap that into the show notes, Yeah.
00:06:06
It's real good stuff.
00:06:07
Yeah.
00:06:07
I'm gonna share that with me.
00:06:09
Yeah, because I know who he is, but I haven't heard that book.
00:06:11
And, yeah, man, it's like if you're putting more fuel into your body, right, go back to our
00:06:15
pillar here.
00:06:16
Yeah.
00:06:16
More fuel and not using it.
00:06:18
Because that's what food is.
00:06:19
Right?
00:06:19
Food is fuel.
00:06:20
Probably spent to get us It's meant for our brains to operate for obviously every cell in
00:06:24
our body to operate.
00:06:25
It comprises us.
00:06:27
Right?
00:06:27
Your body takes in that that food, that fuel breaks it down into little pieces and builds
00:06:32
you.
00:06:32
Right?
00:06:33
So if you were to take your entire your your body over a 120 days, basically 70% of your
00:06:38
body be different.
00:06:39
Right?
00:06:39
It's it's changing over.
00:06:41
I think it's changing over.
00:06:42
That's what keeps us alive and not just dying.
00:06:44
Right?
00:06:44
Right.
00:06:45
We'll be dead.
00:06:46
But Now, if you're if you're making your body up of this fake stuff, everybody has no idea
00:06:51
what this is.
00:06:52
Right?
00:06:52
It's gonna it's gonna happen.
00:06:54
Right?
00:06:54
It's gonna cause you to feel sluggish.
00:06:56
People get brain fog from, you know, being overly, addicted to these sugars and and
00:07:01
process carbs that you're talking about.
00:07:03
Yeah.
00:07:05
But, yeah, man, that that that topic of, like, kids' people.
00:07:09
I have that written down as something I wanted to talk on because, man, that's where it starts
00:07:14
Right?
00:07:14
Like, we grew up.
00:07:15
We grew up, especially you, you and I, like, what 90s, 80s, nineties deal.
00:07:19
Right?
00:07:19
Like, that there wasn't a lot of, like, stuff out there on the health of this stuff.
00:07:24
Now we all know it.
00:07:25
Yeah.
00:07:25
It's like there are the organic gummy bears, and you're getting ridiculous.
00:07:28
But not really, though.
00:07:29
Not everyone.
00:07:30
Like, if this is a I feel like especially root cause type stuff.
00:07:34
Yeah.
00:07:35
Very early in the introduction that
00:07:37
people are coming more aware of, like,
00:07:37
why did why do I, you know, why that pack down 50 to £60 when I'm in my fifties and sixties.
00:07:45
Right?
00:07:46
Why is that?
00:07:47
Right?
00:07:48
I'm running around all over the place.
00:07:49
I exercise here and there.
00:07:51
It's not because I'm, like, just sitting around all the time, but, you know, it's it's because
00:07:55
of the food you put in your body's like, yeah.
00:07:57
You can actually you can actually do something about that.
00:08:00
Now exercise is a major component pillar that we're gonna hit on, but food is human major
00:08:05
thing?
00:08:06
Well, we're starting with it because that's one of the most important.
00:08:08
I mean, it's, ah, germany in the kitchen is a thing.
00:08:11
People say that.
00:08:11
Yeah.
00:08:11
For the reasons.
00:08:12
Right?
00:08:12
You can do all the crunches.
00:08:13
You wanna go do a 1000 crunches.
00:08:15
If you're eating like crap, man, you're not gonna have success.
00:08:17
Right?
00:08:17
It's just nowadays, case in point for me, dude.
00:08:20
I I, like, I, I
00:08:21
mean, I was working out pretty hard Hey, man.
00:08:23
What what's going on?
00:08:24
Where is it?
00:08:24
And it yeah.
00:08:26
Where is it?
00:08:26
Why why why why work at that?
00:08:27
Like, I can't see if something's underneath there.
00:08:31
Yeah.
00:08:31
6 pack.
00:08:32
Uh-huh.
00:08:37
But but it was.
00:08:39
It was a 100%.
00:08:40
It was a 100% nutrition and caloric restriction.
00:08:43
So Right.
00:08:43
Yeah.
00:08:44
I mean, there's a there was a focus do that.
00:08:46
I was eating a lot.
00:08:47
But, at the end of the day, it was, it was being more focused on, but you honestly, those
00:08:52
two things, you know, starches and starches and the refined sugars.
00:08:55
And it's like when you switch from those hyper palatable processed foods, man, you can't eat
00:09:00
as much as you think.
00:09:01
Right?
00:09:01
Like, people are eating you could eat a whole box bag of or box of cereal, bag of goldfish,
00:09:06
because there's no substance to that.
00:09:07
Right?
00:09:07
You know, it's just sugar and carbs and just fake stuff.
00:09:10
Yeah.
00:09:10
Others.
00:09:11
If you go try to eat an entire, steak and then a bunch of, like, vegetables and then these
00:09:17
roots and then these healthy kind of, whole foods.
00:09:20
Right?
00:09:20
You cannot eat that yeah, you're gonna get full and that's your body's built in, like, fail
00:09:25
safe, you know, to, like, let me not over.
00:09:28
Right?
00:09:28
And so these foods that are just so is the case of it.
00:09:31
Genetically, like, process to be that are easy to eat a lot of.
00:09:35
That's what causes you to be that overfueled.
00:09:37
You're not using you're not burning that.
00:09:39
You know, everybody has to do something with it.
00:09:41
So it converts it into sort out of those tissue and it's basically your body's mechanism of
00:09:46
saying, hey, let me save for a radio Yeah.
00:09:48
When I need this fuel.
00:09:50
But then you're constantly over fueling.
00:09:51
It's like that just becomes now you got this in overflow.
00:09:54
Yeah.
00:09:54
Exactly.
00:09:55
Over money to return.
00:09:57
And so, the Addispoat tissue for the for the viewership, that's that's a blue fat.
00:10:02
Which is, like, your bad guy.
00:10:04
Yeah.
00:10:04
Like that.
00:10:05
Yeah.
00:10:05
Yeah.
00:10:05
Yeah.
00:10:05
Yeah.
00:10:05
Yeah.
00:10:06
Yeah.
00:10:06
So that's if you were to, like, pinch your stomach or your love that's what that is.
00:10:12
Right?
00:10:12
That's just deposited areas.
00:10:14
And those areas are just the most commonly because that's it.
00:10:16
There's not a lot of stress on that area.
00:10:18
You're not moving your stomach around a lot.
00:10:20
Yeah.
00:10:20
I know arms and legs are moving more, so they're gonna have more, like, like,
00:10:23
thermogenic, like, capability of the muscle.
00:10:26
Yeah.
00:10:26
But around, like, the lower back, especially that that area doesn't move until somebody just
00:10:30
kinda sticks the thing.
00:10:31
Right?
00:10:32
And everybody everybody has, like, a genetic propensity to score back differently.
00:10:36
Yeah.
00:10:36
Right?
00:10:37
Some people, it's more in the belly.
00:10:38
Some people in the chest.
00:10:39
Right?
00:10:39
We all are gonna gobblers.
00:10:41
Yeah.
00:10:41
Yeah.
00:10:42
The turkey bag or whatever they call it.
00:10:44
Yeah.
00:10:45
Yeah.
00:10:45
Vintur.
00:10:46
Yeah.
00:10:47
That's unfortunate, man.
00:10:48
But, But, yeah, your body's gotta do something with it.
00:10:51
If you're not gonna use it, right, it's gonna put it somewhere.
00:10:54
So yeah.
00:10:55
Yeah, and I know you're you're big.
00:10:57
We can wrap a whole loop in on this.
00:10:58
Your big part of it.
00:10:59
The cold.
00:11:00
Oh, yeah.
00:11:01
Talk about, like, the the cold plunge man and and how it helps your body to, like, increase
00:11:06
that thermostat even your body's gonna be wanting to warm itself when you're into
00:11:11
shivering, you know, and it converts into the brown pad, right, which is your most heavily
00:11:17
found in babies, right, when babies are born, they have a lot of bounce back tissue.
00:11:19
I mean, over time, if there's a way in, it becomes more than like that.
00:11:22
But talk about comes out, like, for your experience with the with the co fund and then
00:11:27
yeah.
00:11:27
Did I
00:11:31
perfect, like, analogy and scenario here, because I literally was describing this to my
00:11:35
brother-in-law the other day, of, like, actively pursuing and putting your body in a
00:11:40
state of fight or flight because that, like, what again,
00:11:43
it goes back to the acceptance of,
00:11:48
like, we're putting into our body.
00:11:49
So, like, at birth, right, this, child comes out all pink, like your boys.
00:11:54
Like, when they were born, right, all pink.
00:11:56
They're like, you know, fight or flight state, and it was just like figure you need to figure
00:12:01
out the world, right, it was being fed by as being fed by their mother.
00:12:06
And it was it was this, like, scenario where they're breathing in oxygen now.
00:12:11
Like, they're getting their pigmentation to their skin.
00:12:14
And then through the course of time, it it, like, we feed these kids.
00:12:21
Like, my kids aren't overweight.
00:12:22
We're we're obviously pretty active.
00:12:24
We eat a lot of whole foods.
00:12:26
We ate a lot of fruits and vegetables within our diet.
00:12:30
And how we cook.
00:12:30
We would cook with avocado oils, high, you know, at a at a low heat threshold and and, a
00:12:36
lot of whole meats and various things.
00:12:37
And we actually
00:12:39
we can put this in
00:12:39
the show notes too.
00:12:40
I actually just became an affiliate for, where our where we grow our mushrooms, our farms, we
00:12:45
actually I get our meat there now.
00:12:47
So, like, well, across Central Florida, we get fresh meat, you know, for straight from the
00:12:51
farm, you know, the farm vet is so, so south.
00:12:54
It's complete tastes completely different than what I get from, Publix factory needs.
00:12:58
Yeah.
00:12:58
So now going back to cold water therapy,
00:13:04
I, obviously, since January, I started every morning.
00:13:08
I get up and
00:13:08
I, you know, I submerged myself into,
00:13:11
44 anywhere from 39 to 4 to 4 degree water.
00:13:14
I bumped it up a little bit.
00:13:15
My wife's been doing it with me, which has been amazing.
00:13:17
It's been a really cool experience with her.
00:13:19
So, like, time.
00:13:20
We go up in there.
00:13:21
We've we, like, meet each other at, like, 4:45 AM, and she sits on one side.
00:13:25
No.
00:13:26
No.
00:13:26
Not at all.
00:13:28
She does it later.
00:13:29
She doesn't like it.
00:13:29
They're making it better.
00:13:30
Yeah.
00:13:30
She's like, I'm
00:13:31
the only crazy dude.
00:13:32
It's like, I've ever already got it.
00:13:34
So but what it is is that, so, like, what I'll do when I was telling you, I put a fully
00:13:40
submerged in my head.
00:13:41
I come up.
00:13:41
I put I go on the parasympathetic, but It, when I get out, my body is pink, dude.
00:13:49
It is pink.
00:13:49
And it always reminds me.
00:13:50
I'm
00:13:53
like, You know what I'm doing in my body?
00:13:55
It's like rebirthing my body every day because my when my kids were coming out, they were all
00:14:00
pink, and they were in a state of fight or flight with a bunch of brown fat.
00:14:04
You know what I mean?
00:14:04
But that
00:14:05
were, like, figuring things out, breathing in the oxygen for the first time.
00:14:08
And then it's you legitimately can do that every day.
00:14:13
Increase your brown fat content and increase longevity through that through that, that's a
00:14:19
modality.
00:14:19
We'll talk a little bit more about that.
00:14:21
But the reality is is, like, then I eat whole foods.
00:14:24
I I've looked at what I'm putting into my body from a nutrient source, even going into it a
00:14:29
little bit further, we're talking about, the meat.
00:14:31
Right?
00:14:33
I I after reading this book for every young and really under standing the phytonutrients and
00:14:39
what you're actually eating from a meat source.
00:14:42
When you eat meat, you wanna eat pretty quality meat because you are getting phytonutrients
00:14:48
from that animal that they eat.
00:14:50
Right?
00:14:51
So you
00:14:51
are what you ate 8.
00:14:53
Right?
00:14:53
That's the that's the truth, man.
00:14:55
Like, you're gonna be built up of Wow.
00:14:57
The the vitamins, minerals, and stuff that's stored in that meat after eating.
00:15:02
Right?
00:15:02
The same way, like, people are talking organ meat and all this stuff, because those organs
00:15:06
have our heavy, stores of those minerals, right, like livers that they want to be their
00:15:11
king.
00:15:12
Yeah.
00:15:12
They that went on.
00:15:13
Yeah.
00:15:13
But it that's
00:15:14
the juice in now, though,
00:15:15
he's breaking the called out.
00:15:17
Yeah.
00:15:17
He well, he his problem was, if he would've just said it from the beginning, I
00:15:21
I was, like, I'm used to this.
00:15:22
Dude, Jack.
00:15:23
Yeah.
00:15:23
Just be jacked on rocks.
00:15:24
Like, are you
00:15:25
on Royce or Jack?
00:15:26
That's think people, if you lied about that, yeah,
00:15:28
that he lied.
00:15:28
And so, like, he was trying to put all this front that he wasn't.
00:15:31
I'm gonna touch the stuff.
00:15:32
He's, like, it's just funny there.
00:15:34
It was, like, Everyone bought so heavy into this guy that he just, like, turned out that he
00:15:38
kind of You can't get to the jabber.
00:15:40
Yeah.
00:15:41
Yeah.
00:15:42
It's funny.
00:15:42
But that being said, man, the liquor store's ton of divided Right?
00:15:45
It's it's it's a filter, but it's Mhmm.
00:15:47
It's heavily laden with those those, mineral vitamins.
00:15:51
That way when you eat it, which your body actually understands what that is.
00:15:55
Yeah.
00:15:55
Versus like a synthetic b vitamin.
00:15:57
That was the reason in the lab that they try to mimic natural will never be saying.
00:16:01
Right?
00:16:01
So, like, eating it, getting it from the source and all of that.
00:16:04
Yeah.
00:16:04
Natural.
00:16:05
Right.
00:16:05
Natural.
00:16:06
Huge.
00:16:06
They're the whole foods are was actually thinking about this the other day.
00:16:09
My buddy and I were, talking.
00:16:11
He's gotten on a craze.
00:16:13
He had, he actually had a health scare.
00:16:17
In, in December.
00:16:20
And so he's really gone on this journey of like, now I gotta get myself healthier.
00:16:25
And 3 whole food sources.
00:16:27
And one thing that they don't realize is that, like, there's so many ways that you can get
00:16:34
these, macro micro nutrients throughout your day to day.
00:16:39
And it doesn't necessarily have to be always through, like, necessarily food too.
00:16:43
You hear vitamin d source through indirect sunlight.
00:16:45
That's right.
00:16:46
Yeah.
00:16:46
You gotta go outside.
00:16:48
And if you can go outside in the morning, you can, you can get other sources, vitamins and
00:16:53
nutrients, just from grounding.
00:16:55
Putting your feet in the in the earth, which is a little crunchy.
00:16:59
You know what I mean?
00:16:59
At the end of the day,
00:17:00
I like wearing shoes, but so you gotta take off your shoes sometimes.
00:17:03
Swelling reduce, from an anti inflammatory standpoint, of getting a vitamin nutrient just
00:17:09
a natural way.
00:17:10
Another thing that I was, that I was reading, you know, I mean, studying up on is that we
00:17:16
actually get hydration from foods too.
00:17:21
So, like, it's it can be up to 40% of our hydration is actually through food.
00:17:26
It's actually like fruits.
00:17:27
Right?
00:17:28
Like, there is a lot
00:17:29
of water in them, take mostly water.
00:17:30
Right?
00:17:31
Yeah.
00:17:31
So, yeah, I mean, and then getting those those 5 nutrients added onto that, which is a
00:17:36
benefit, obviously.
00:17:37
Yeah.
00:17:38
So cool.
00:17:38
And then, obviously, like, same thing with you, you're looking at, cruciferous vegetables,
00:17:45
being, like, porphy, eggplant, various things like that.
00:17:48
I you don't realize it because, again, another whole food source.
00:17:52
But, like, the things a lot of that things were largely made up of water.
00:17:55
These things are largely made up of water.
00:17:57
Yeah.
00:17:57
There's a reason, though.
00:17:58
It's a it's a neck design.
00:18:00
Right?
00:18:00
Yeah.
00:18:01
For us to be able to just ingest that, and then our body knows what to do with it.
00:18:04
Yeah.
00:18:04
This is when you ingest these frank leads that are creating the laboratories.
00:18:08
Right?
00:18:09
You put it in your money.
00:18:10
So I don't know what the hell this is.
00:18:12
Try to figure out what to do with this thing.
00:18:14
Yeah.
00:18:14
Most of it are probably just gonna, like, shuttle away.
00:18:16
Yeah.
00:18:17
Or you you have to process it and get excreted.
00:18:19
Yeah.
00:18:20
You wonder why they have step gut issues and digest the problem because your body is not
00:18:25
sure how to absorb this.
00:18:27
Yeah.
00:18:27
It is just, the guys, the colors, like, the the, basically, like, the poison that's put
00:18:33
into a lot of these boots.
00:18:34
Here, Yeah.
00:18:35
That being said to me, and that that was part of what I wanted to in this topic.
00:18:39
Right?
00:18:39
We're talking about, like, American food, like, crisis and pandemic, whatever you wanna call
00:18:44
it.
00:18:44
Yeah.
00:18:45
It's like the organic versus inorganic.
00:18:47
So, you know, and, like, how everything is so heavily sprayed.
00:18:50
The pesticides range and concept is for for people who are unaware, you spray pesticides on
00:18:57
a crop.
00:18:58
The the the bugs, the whatever the rodents, they're not gonna eat it.
00:19:01
Now that crop is there.
00:19:02
It's, you know, the farmers, it makes their job easier.
00:19:05
Yep.
00:19:05
And they they tell this stuff they spray other stuff on it that make it shelf stable for a
00:19:09
long time.
00:19:10
So when it gets to by the time it gets to the store, it's not rotten out.
00:19:14
It's not, you know, already moldy.
00:19:16
You're gonna
00:19:16
buy, like, organic strawberries.
00:19:17
Like, man, half the box is moldy.
00:19:19
Understood.
00:19:20
That's because they're, you know, they're not gonna and I'm meant to sit on the shelf that
00:19:23
long.
00:19:23
You know, you gotta get them right away, but the stuff that's been sitting there for weeks,
00:19:27
you gotta wonder why.
00:19:28
Like, why is this food not light became already?
00:19:30
Right.
00:19:30
It's because it's been sprayed stuff.
00:19:32
Our body's on that that's toxic products.
00:19:34
Right?
00:19:34
So it's, you know, it's a whole other, like, rabbit hole that idea of a lot of podcast on
00:19:40
own, you know, about, like, how these these pesticides cause neurodegenerative diseases,
00:19:45
Alzheimer's bugs and things, all this kind of stuff.
00:19:47
Right?
00:19:47
Yeah.
00:19:47
And so the question I get a lot in my practice, at least, is, like, what to buy organic and
00:19:53
whatnot?
00:19:53
Like, does it matter?
00:19:55
Like, how can you trust it?
00:19:56
That that's tough, man.
00:19:58
Like, how can you trust that this thing that says organic is, you know, because the farm
00:20:02
right next door to this farm is inorganic.
00:20:05
Yeah.
00:20:05
Right.
00:20:05
And the water runoff from the rain is just pulling all that pesticides into the soil of
00:20:09
this one.
00:20:10
You know, you know, it it it's tough, man.
00:20:12
You gotta really do a little bit of digging and and it's, you know, it's for your own benefit.
00:20:18
You gotta do some research on to where you're you're getting the food from.
00:20:21
But
00:20:22
yeah.
00:20:22
I think to, you know, I always think of it like layman's terms.
00:20:26
Alright.
00:20:26
Coming back home for me.
00:20:29
It's I I'm not, like, extremely crazy about, like, I do we could do get our whole food.
00:20:37
So Right?
00:20:37
Whole food is kind of like what I focus on.
00:20:39
Right?
00:20:40
And then organic versus inorganic, like, that's where when you're getting it from a grocery
00:20:46
store, like, if I'm growing it at my house, there's a controllable there, of course, but
00:20:49
the reality of life and the season that that I'm in, like, with kids and stuff, said, we buy
00:20:54
stuff from the grocery store.
00:20:55
Right?
00:20:55
You gotta do it unless you can.
00:20:56
You don't have to.
00:20:57
Yeah.
00:20:57
And you and and then you gotta make selections associated to, like, how alright.
00:21:02
You know, what are the best boots, right, even though my wife's still gonna buy, like, some
00:21:06
processed stuff I'm fine with, but we buy a, I mean, an absolute shift on a a fruit to And we
00:21:12
just mouth.
00:21:13
Like, you're out
00:21:13
to please love them, though.
00:21:15
Oh, man.
00:21:16
And it's, like, an awesome, and they're not, like, super picky eaters.
00:21:19
I'm like, if that if that's the thing, you know, we focus now what do I do with that?
00:21:23
We don't always I think we we do buy some, like, organic, but what I've been doing, which
00:21:30
I, like, I actually learned this.
00:21:32
I think I learned this from maybe social media.
00:21:34
But, what I'll do is I'll take lemon And I will put lemon juice and let all the fruits, sit in
00:21:42
lemon juice.
00:21:43
And what lemon juice is it creates the acidic nature, and then I'll wash them after after,
00:21:50
like, it it so it removes maybe not all, but at least it removes some.
00:21:55
You know what I mean?
00:21:56
Of, of the pesticides that might be on there that were utilized to actually grow that group.
00:22:01
Because at the end of the day, I gotta respect that if I'm still gonna be going to the grocery
00:22:06
store, that food's gonna be a little bit more aged.
00:22:08
Otherwise, I gotta start, like, I gotta start farm in my backyard.
00:22:11
Know, I gotta start selling the space again.
00:22:14
Did that pool or whatever you did?
00:22:16
Yep.
00:22:16
You know what I mean?
00:22:17
So, like, just to make it, like, some easier easier on us, like, I am hyperconscious of that
00:22:22
because I know I'm getting maybe a little bit less of the phytonutrients.
00:22:27
And I know there's, like, other options that you can you can do.
00:22:30
But so that's what I do.
00:22:32
I don't know.
00:22:32
I'm just giving a recommendation there Yeah.
00:22:34
Of, like, just getting some of those some of those pesticides off there still eating whole
00:22:38
food sources that might be might not be an option for you.
00:22:41
However, we spend a lot of money on our meat.
00:22:43
So now we're getting it from from a farm spread out and, getting shipped to us.
00:22:49
So we we plan a couple of months ahead for what meats we're doing.
00:22:52
That's for Charles Rat.
00:22:53
Side, obviously,
00:23:00
If you wanna hear your question answered live on the show, submit it to ask at fullfuel.com,
00:23:06
check out the optimizers program where we build max muscle improve longevity and get guys
00:23:10
freaking shredded so that they can crush it at life for as long as possible.
00:23:19
And, you know, like, like, we're talking about, it's kind of crystal circle within the whole
00:23:23
topic here is is do the best you can with what you Yeah.
00:23:25
Because a lot of my patients come in and they're, like, yeah, financially, I can't just
00:23:28
buy all this organic stuff.
00:23:30
Like, I just can't do it.
00:23:31
It's like, okay.
00:23:32
Make it better to right, like, make a decision that's better than what you were doing.
00:23:36
So, like, rather than the gummy bears or the the gummy stuff and the and the fake stuff, get
00:23:42
inorganic trouble.
00:23:42
It's okay.
00:23:43
Yeah.
00:23:43
Right.
00:23:44
Yes.
00:23:44
Like, organic's better.
00:23:45
Yeah.
00:23:45
It's not great.
00:23:46
Sharbe is one of the more heavily spread things, but you're still doing better than
00:23:50
work.
00:23:50
Right?
00:23:50
So, like, make those little steps, man.
00:23:52
It's like, what can I do to be 10% better?
00:23:55
You know, 10% and do 10% every other week.
00:23:57
Right?
00:23:58
And then, like, now, like, a few months down the line, you're like, well, I'm I'm I have
00:24:02
radically changed the way I'm approaching this.
00:24:04
And then it becomes lifestyle at that point.
00:24:06
Right?
00:24:06
That's how that's how I started to tell you started.
00:24:08
Right?
00:24:08
Like, I wasn't always I grew up Italian, big Italian fan and then pasta, like, you know, Is
00:24:14
this
00:24:14
that Fettuccine?
00:24:15
Exactly.
00:24:15
Oh, man.
00:24:16
What did you tell me about that?
00:24:18
I'll go off the rails.
00:24:19
But, you know, it it's like, how can we make little little shifts You know?
00:24:23
Yeah.
00:24:24
So you get better each day.
00:24:25
Cool.
00:24:26
Yeah, man.
00:24:26
Well,
00:24:27
we're gonna take some questions from the audience And then what what are we gonna be
00:24:32
preparing for episode number 2?
00:24:33
What's gonna be the topic for episode?
00:24:35
Number 2, uh-uh.
00:24:36
Yeah.
00:24:39
So I I would love Then the next episode, man, to dive into, like, like, how do you sleep at
00:24:44
medicine?
00:24:45
Who does medicine that?
00:24:46
And you're gonna be able
00:24:47
to really talk about that with your product because it's a little bit nutritious.
00:24:49
I hope that is it's a functional food.
00:24:52
Right?
00:24:52
So it's basically, like, the concept is that, like, all medicine is based on natural stuff,
00:24:58
right, even though it's lab made and synthetic.
00:25:00
It's it's it's mimicking some natural, like, compound that our body can respond to, right,
00:25:08
and has benefits.
00:25:10
So, yeah, that'll be the next next episode.
00:25:12
Absolutely, we'll be treated as medicine there.
00:25:14
Alright.
00:25:14
Cool.
00:25:15
Blake, what questions do we have, for lead episode number 1.
00:25:20
The easiest way to start
00:25:24
eating healthier, you take it
00:25:27
Cool.
00:25:27
Yeah.
00:25:28
I mean, I think we kinda just touched on it a little bit, but let's, let's expound a little
00:25:31
bit, I think, and and we'll bounce back and forth.
00:25:33
But, the easiest way in my opinion, man, is to is to change one thing every week.
00:25:39
Right?
00:25:39
Like, like, we've just said, like, if you find that you're and this could be not even
00:25:44
reckless, right, be fasting, which we're gonna dive into this season as well.
00:25:48
That'll be an episode itself.
00:25:49
But, right, like, if if, if every morning you're waking up and you're eating a box of
00:25:53
cereal and process stuff that's just spiking that blood sugar first thing in the morning.
00:25:58
That is stressful on the body.
00:26:00
So if you if you fast instead, right, you're just gonna cut down the amount.
00:26:03
Now you're gonna be buying more of a calorie deficit.
00:26:05
Everybody's going to have, essentially, what fasten does is it gives your gut, like, a
00:26:09
reset.
00:26:11
Compound.
00:26:12
What I use in my practice man is is a combination of fasting and smoothies.
00:26:15
Right?
00:26:15
So when I have patients doing any kind of nutritional, functional nutrition plan.
00:26:20
It's gonna be probably a smoothie for breakfast every day because what what that's doing is,
00:26:26
you know, if you're waking up and you're eating being plate of eggs, bacon, sausage, while all
00:26:30
that stuff's delicious.
00:26:32
Right?
00:26:33
There's a lot of energy now from your gut to break that down.
00:26:36
You know?
00:26:36
To digest that food to absorb it.
00:26:38
That takes a lot.
00:26:39
Right?
00:26:39
So then people wonder why they're feeling sluggish towards the end of the day.
00:26:42
Like, man, your body diverted a ton of resources to break down that humongous immunity
00:26:47
mishap.
00:26:47
So instead, what I my patients do is is is actually make, like, a really healthy, big
00:26:51
smoothie, like, like, a forty out sweetie and just sip on that over, like, an hour, hour a
00:26:56
half.
00:26:56
Mhmm.
00:26:57
Yes.
00:26:57
It does get warm.
00:26:58
Right?
00:26:58
I always get that question.
00:26:59
Is it warm by the end of it?
00:27:00
Yeah.
00:27:00
It'll be a little bit warm, but then you made it.
00:27:02
Right?
00:27:02
But you sip on that over over time, unless your gut's slow, you kind of process that stuff,
00:27:08
pleasant blended up, and it's liquid forms.
00:27:09
It's gonna be easier to absorb.
00:27:11
Yeah.
00:27:13
Do you think that works a couple of tips?
00:27:15
You know?
00:27:16
Yeah.
00:27:16
I think, you know, for me, my always encouragement step number 1 is hydration.
00:27:21
So, like, you need to look.
00:27:23
You whether you're eating your orally, you know, like, whether it's actually like a more a
00:27:27
solid food source or hydration.
00:27:32
And I would just focus, like, if you have anything sugary, how do you, like, eliminate
00:27:38
that or at least get that down to a very, very small amount, where you can start incorporating
00:27:44
more obviously water, into your day to day.
00:27:47
So, like, I would say that's, like, absolutely the first thing you take a look at because
00:27:53
sugars always compound and wants you to eat more sugars.
00:27:57
Right?
00:27:58
So, like, then you're gonna be going after sugary, whole foods or, you know, sugary food
00:28:02
sources.
00:28:03
So I would just focus on hydration first.
00:28:06
As, like, that starting element to get at least a minimum of 64 ounces of water.
00:28:11
What I think is game gamification is huge, And so when you buy a water bottle, it has, like,
00:28:17
these, like, has the ounces.
00:28:19
Almost there.
00:28:20
And you're like, almost there.
00:28:21
You know what I mean?
00:28:22
In there.
00:28:23
Yeah.
00:28:23
Yeah.
00:28:23
And so you get a thirty two ounce water bottle.
00:28:26
You drink 2 of them a day.
00:28:27
That's, like, number 1, I think, is a solid way to start out of it.
00:28:32
Doesn't even need to be a crazy.
00:28:34
We can dive into water too because water different different fuel sources definitely but
00:28:39
just drinking water.
00:28:40
I think it's step number 1, overall.
00:28:43
I actually got one more of that, and this is one that I I I tell people as well is stick to
00:28:47
the outside of the grocery store.
00:28:49
Right?
00:28:49
And if you if you walk into any grocery store, you shop, the inside aisles is all the package
00:28:54
process stuff that's shelf stable.
00:28:56
Right?
00:28:56
The outside is gonna be your produce, your needs, things that need to be refrigerated, if
00:29:00
that's where they have the, like, the cold, refrigerators, tanks, whatever.
00:29:04
So, yeah, if you stick to the outside and you mostly buy that stuff, you're gonna be doing a
00:29:08
lot better.
00:29:09
Yeah.
00:29:09
So that's a that's a quick easy thing.
00:29:11
Well, yeah, replay making small replacements.
00:29:13
Yeah?
00:29:14
Huge.
00:29:15
You got one more?
00:29:22
What are the most con oh, yeah.
00:29:23
I mean, those are bars, for kids.
00:29:27
I'll tell you what, I love, like, like, a good bar.
00:29:32
I'm not gonna lie.
00:29:33
But, like, in, one bar that I do promote, And maybe we can give them my sponsor on the show
00:29:39
as our XBAR.
00:29:40
Love, love me some of our XBARs.
00:29:42
But they're pretty basic, and you don't have to look you know, the those ones don't have any
00:29:47
added sugars.
00:29:47
Like, there's literally no BS in those bars.
00:29:49
So I actually genuinely enjoy enjoy those.
00:29:52
But, like, these kids bars, I look at the z bar, the cliff bars, all these other bars.
00:29:56
They're just, you know, you'll see 14, 15 grams of added sugar in there.
00:30:03
Like, it's basically like fructose.
00:30:05
I mean, so and that's the one thing I would look out for is is our but, like, bars, because
00:30:11
I think a lot people just, like, e bars and they don't look at what's happening.
00:30:14
Yeah.
00:30:14
Yeah.
00:30:14
I think, my answer to that question would be, like, the organic trap.
00:30:18
I call it, like, still processed food.
00:30:21
Right?
00:30:21
Like, it's a processed food, but it's labeled organic.
00:30:24
Yeah.
00:30:24
As if that all of a sudden has made that a be fine right here in, like, the amount of times I
00:30:29
do believe.
00:30:29
Well, I thought the organic cheerios, they're healthy.
00:30:32
Right?
00:30:32
And it it's still just a a grain and sugar.
00:30:35
Yeah.
00:30:35
K.
00:30:35
Maybe it sucks.
00:30:36
Right.
00:30:37
Or maybe they're just calling it again.
00:30:38
Who knows at that point?
00:30:40
Yeah.
00:30:40
That doesn't all of a sudden make it healthy.
00:30:42
Whole Foods are health Right?
00:30:43
Whole Foods are, like, what our body bio chemically understands.
00:30:47
And that's why those rx bars are also named because it's that's all real stuff.
00:30:51
Yeah.
00:30:51
Like, that's not a bunch of sweetened
00:30:53
with dates.
00:30:54
Yeah.
00:30:54
Sees all.
00:30:55
They're delicious.
00:30:56
Yeah.
00:30:56
I'm not gonna deal with it.
00:30:58
I think, yeah, I think we do.
00:31:01
Grew some of the stash.
00:31:02
But the the other thing that I want to add on, that that actually happened to me personally.
00:31:08
My wife bought me organic Granola, And, then I looked at it.
00:31:11
I'm like, man, this stuff's really good.
00:31:13
And I'm like, smashing it.
00:31:15
Organic good.
00:31:15
Alright?
00:31:16
Yeah.
00:31:16
And, I look at it.
00:31:18
There's a and I do I thought there was dark chocolate in there.
00:31:21
It it was not dark chocolate.
00:31:22
It was milk chocolate, and there was, like, 15 grams of, like, add sugar, cane sugar, organic
00:31:28
cane sugar that were added into it.
00:31:31
And then, so so, I mean, there was a there was a couple stuff is not good for you.
00:31:36
Right?
00:31:37
No wonder why is it because I was just, like, smashing my mouth with it, not even looking
00:31:41
back.
00:31:42
So granola's, like, even are big things.
00:31:44
I do like granola's, but they do have to be you you gotta look at what the added sugar content
00:31:48
is because that's gonna be
00:31:49
the driver That's right.
00:31:51
Yeah.
00:31:51
And, like, that was all the thing.
00:31:52
It was, like, all these foods that were, like, how to help me, right, when we were going up
00:31:57
and stuff.
00:31:57
And nowadays, people are starting to understand more and more what's not happening.
00:32:01
Yeah.
00:32:02
Yeah.
00:32:02
Cool.
00:32:03
Well, man, that's a wrap for, episode number 1.
00:32:05
I thought that was pretty good.
00:32:07
And, I'm not looking forward to a full fueled podcast.
00:32:11
We're aiming on the fuel.
00:32:12
