How To Reverse 30 Years Of Brain Decay-- Breathing Like THIS Is Ruining Your Brain (Here’s The Fix) - With Dr. John Douillard

The Dr Pompa Podcast

Dr. John Douillard reveals how 91% of high-performers are operating with a "dead" diaphragmatic pump that traps 3 pounds of biological waste in the brain every year. This episode provides the "material-logic" blueprint to separate the rib cage hardware and reclaim the internal EPO and nitric oxide levels required for elite longevity.

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.919
<v SPEAKER_01>Could the way you breathe actually be why you have low back pain?

00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:08.480
<v SPEAKER_00>Chronic pain, maybe high blood pressure, maybe headaches, not sleeping well, anxiety.

00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:16.640
<v SPEAKER_00>There was a recent study that showed that 91% of athletes that were tested did not have a diaphragm relaxing and contracting fully.

00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:24.640
<v SPEAKER_00>And what people don't realize is the diaphragm is not just a breathing muscle, it's the number one pump of your body's entire lymphatic system.

00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:34.799
<v SPEAKER_00>And when that lymph gets congested, you don't have those fats for energy, for vitality, for good skin, for your hormones, so you go on HRT and you have a host of health concerns as a result of that.

00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:41.679
<v SPEAKER_00>We have newly discovered the brain's lymph and lymphatic systems that dump three pounds of trash out of your head every year while you sleep.

00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:43.920
<v SPEAKER_00>So the lymphatic system is taking trash out.

00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:46.640
<v SPEAKER_00>EPO, Atlantis Armstrong, got busted for injecting.

00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:48.399
<v SPEAKER_00>You make your own when you hold your breath.

00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:55.359
<v SPEAKER_00>Transcription factors called the guardian of your genome that protect your genes from expressing those genetic traits that happen to all of us as we age.

00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.000
<v SPEAKER_00>But I'm going to teach you guys just five minutes a day.

00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:01.280
<v SPEAKER_00>And you can do more for sure, but at the least just do five minutes.

00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:02.240
<v SPEAKER_00>Your life will change.

00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:03.119
<v SPEAKER_00>Can we do it in bed?

00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:04.719
<v SPEAKER_00>Actually, you can do it in bed.

00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:06.319
<v SPEAKER_00>Oh man, forget it.

00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:07.359
<v SPEAKER_01>You guys are set.

00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:18.719
<v SPEAKER_01>Could the way you breathe actually be why you have low back pain, chronic pain, maybe high blood pressure, maybe headaches, not sleeping well, anxiety?

00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:19.359
<v SPEAKER_01>All right.

00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:22.560
<v SPEAKER_01>This next guest is going to teach you how to breathe.

00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:27.519
<v SPEAKER_01>Oh, better yet, how to separate your diaphragm literally from your rib cage.

00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:32.640
<v SPEAKER_01>Sounds gruesome, it's not, but literally that can transform everything about your health.

00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:33.760
<v SPEAKER_01>Something so simple.

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:37.760
<v SPEAKER_01>We're going to learn about the lymphatic system in a whole different way.

00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:43.359
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, it ties into your breathing, but this ties into every aspect of your health.

00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:50.000
<v SPEAKER_01>So if you are interested in how your body naturally detox, okay, that's a big subject that I'm interested in.

00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:50.719
<v SPEAKER_01>Stay tuned.

00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:52.879
<v SPEAKER_01>And also, how to vary your diet.

00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:54.159
<v SPEAKER_01>One of my topics, right?

00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:56.719
<v SPEAKER_01>Well, what about ivorvetic medicine?

00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:59.280
<v SPEAKER_01>Well, this guy is the expert right here.

00:01:59.519 --> 00:01:59.840
<v SPEAKER_01>Dr.

00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.640
<v SPEAKER_01>John Dillard, thank you for being here.

00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:04.560
<v SPEAKER_01>I am so excited about this topic.

00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:05.920
<v SPEAKER_01>I can't wait.

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:10.159
<v SPEAKER_01>You're going to teach us what my wife desperately needs, right?

00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:11.520
<v SPEAKER_01>But I think everybody needs this.

00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:14.159
<v SPEAKER_01>You've actually taught some of the top athletes in the world.

00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:14.639
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:16.800
<v SPEAKER_01>Um, tennis player, what was her name?

00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:18.319
<v SPEAKER_01>Um, Billie Jean King, Martina.

00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:18.879
<v SPEAKER_01>Billy G.

00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:19.120
<v SPEAKER_01>King.

00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:19.360
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:20.240
<v SPEAKER_01>I mean, all of them.

00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:20.560
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:25.199
<v SPEAKER_01>I mean, some of the top runners, some of the top athletes, Olympians.

00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:33.120
<v SPEAKER_01>How this strategy that you're going to learn, and it transformed literally their performance and obviously their health, right?

00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:35.680
<v SPEAKER_01>So, I mean, you're you're well known.

00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:36.719
<v SPEAKER_01>I mean, you are.

00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:38.000
<v SPEAKER_01>This is big stuff here.

00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:47.439
<v SPEAKER_00>Well, you know, there was a recent study that showed that 91% of athletes that were tested did not have a diaphragm relaxing and contracting fully.

00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:56.879
<v SPEAKER_00>And what people don't realize is the diaphragm is not just a breathing muscle, it's the number one pump of your body's entire lymphatic system.

00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:11.439
<v SPEAKER_00>And your lymphatic system, which is the largest circulatory system in your body, is trying to do three major things take out the trash, detoxify every cell of your body, carry your immune system, and deliver fat as baseline energy to every cell of your body.

00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:14.400
<v SPEAKER_00>And those fats are the precursors to your hormones.

00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:14.800
<v SPEAKER_00>Yes.

00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:20.639
<v SPEAKER_00>And when that lymph gets congested, you don't have those fats for energy, for vitality, for good skin for your hormones.

00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:24.960
<v SPEAKER_00>So you go on HRT and you have a host of health concerns as a result of that.

00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:34.240
<v SPEAKER_00>And with 91% of athletes not having a diaphragm relaxing and contracting fully, and every time we get stressed out, we breathe a little different.

00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:37.039
<v SPEAKER_00>And then that breathing becomes normal to us.

00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:38.960
<v SPEAKER_00>And then another stress comes along.

00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:39.919
<v SPEAKER_00>We breathe again.

00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:42.719
<v SPEAKER_00>And the rib cage gets getting tighter and tighter and shallower.

00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:44.159
<v SPEAKER_01>Shallower and shallower breathing.

00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:49.759
<v SPEAKER_00>And then you lose not only rib cage elasticity, but you lose diaphragmatic function, you lose the pump of your lymphatic system.

00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:55.439
<v SPEAKER_00>And from the Ayurvedic medicine perspective, the study of the lymphatic system was the study of longevity.

00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:59.759
<v SPEAKER_00>They had a whole branch thousands of years ago for longevity.

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:02.719
<v SPEAKER_00>And the key was how well do you take the trash out?

00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:03.919
<v SPEAKER_00>That's your lymphatic system.

00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:05.439
<v SPEAKER_00>How well do you carry your immune system?

00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:06.240
<v SPEAKER_00>That's your lymph.

00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:10.319
<v SPEAKER_00>How well do you deliver, you know, fat and energy to every cell of your body?

00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:18.240
<v SPEAKER_00>And that's what we in, you know, the only time we hear about the lymph in Western medicine is when you get cancer and we start taking stuff out.

00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:22.959
<v SPEAKER_00>But what I do is I kind of dig into the ancient wisdom and the modern science.

00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:27.120
<v SPEAKER_00>And there's just volumes of articles buried in the medical journals.

00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:33.439
<v SPEAKER_00>None of it's in medical practice, directly linking the lymphatic system and lymphatic congestion to aging.

00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:35.759
<v SPEAKER_00>It's all there, but not in practice.

00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:38.000
<v SPEAKER_00>But thousands of years ago, they put it into practice.

00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:39.680
<v SPEAKER_01>So I kind of try to bring that to light.

00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:49.040
<v SPEAKER_01>One of the things that we see all the time, the doctors I train, the practitioners uh that I train, is that people have a lot of hidden infections, right?

00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:58.720
<v SPEAKER_01>Cavitations, things are going on in the mouth, low-grade infections that you really don't show up on blood work typically, but it really puts a great stress on their lymphatic system.

00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:03.279
<v SPEAKER_01>And everything then becomes hard, becomes hard to detox them.

00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:06.240
<v SPEAKER_01>So that's why one of the things I'm excited about, right?

00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:10.800
<v SPEAKER_01>Because I know that there's this connection of opening up that lymphatic channel.

00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:14.879
<v SPEAKER_01>And so every one of my doctors, practitioners, you better watch this episode.

00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:18.639
<v SPEAKER_01>Because I mean, and we're gonna learn it because I I know it, it really.

00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:24.560
<v SPEAKER_01>I mean, the more that I started studying this, I like this could be the missing link for many people.

00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:26.879
<v SPEAKER_01>And I said that in the opening, and I really mean it.

00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:28.959
<v SPEAKER_01>It's what the researchers transform people.

00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:31.519
<v SPEAKER_00>The researchers are actually calling it the missing piece.

00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:35.360
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah, okay, in you know, the biology of aging.

00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:37.199
<v SPEAKER_00>You mentioned something really interesting.

00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:45.600
<v SPEAKER_00>There was a psychiatric hospital in the early 1900s run by a medical doctor named James Cotton, and he was world famous.

00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:51.839
<v SPEAKER_00>And people would send all their sort of nutty relatives to him, and he would cut infected parts out.

00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:58.000
<v SPEAKER_00>He would cut out fingers and teeth and toes and ovaries, anything that was infected, he'd take it out.

00:05:58.240 --> 00:05:59.920
<v SPEAKER_00>They get better, they send them back.

00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:07.279
<v SPEAKER_00>A hundred years later, now we know that when you take all that infection out, just what you just said, the lymphatic system can now move.

00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:14.160
<v SPEAKER_00>We have newly discovered the brain's lymph and lymphatic systems that dump three pounds of trash out of your head every year while you sleep.

00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:16.879
<v SPEAKER_01>Really quick, the lymphatic system.

00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:21.519
<v SPEAKER_01>You just quickly said that, but explain that because that's going to go on in this conversation.

00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:22.319
<v SPEAKER_01>It needs to be explained.

00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:25.120
<v SPEAKER_00>So the lymphatic system is taking trash out.

00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:29.920
<v SPEAKER_00>Your cerebrospinal fluid is a fluid that pumps the lymphatic system.

00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:35.199
<v SPEAKER_00>But deep in the brain, there's a lymphatic system, which is the same exact thing.

00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:40.480
<v SPEAKER_00>It's just a a different kind of lymph system because it's not just only lymph vessels.

00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:43.120
<v SPEAKER_00>They didn't, they couldn't find it until about 15 years ago.

00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:46.800
<v SPEAKER_01>Oh, no, it wasn't that long ago that they saw the lymph just doesn't affect the brain.

00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:49.920
<v SPEAKER_01>It's not, you know, drained like the rest of the body wrong.

00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:51.759
<v SPEAKER_01>And here's how, here's what it was.

00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:52.959
<v SPEAKER_00>Here's the artery, right?

00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:58.560
<v SPEAKER_00>You have blood coming in, and they can see the blood coming in for hundreds of years now.

00:06:58.639 --> 00:06:59.439
<v SPEAKER_00>We've known that.

00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:04.560
<v SPEAKER_00>But there was a little sleeve on the outside of that on the artery that the lymph would come out.

00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:05.120
<v SPEAKER_00>Oh wow.

00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:08.160
<v SPEAKER_00>So it was like a double layer kind of vessel.

00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:11.120
<v SPEAKER_00>So they didn't see it for forever until recently.

00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:14.240
<v SPEAKER_00>But Ayurvedic Medic talked about this thousands of years ago.

00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:28.800
<v SPEAKER_00>And the studies show now that congestion of that system, which is linked to poor breathing, is directly linked to anxiety, depression, cognitive decline, inflammation, inf uh uh infection, and autoimmune concerns.

00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:35.040
<v SPEAKER_00>Where, like the mastery computer, which can't take his trash out, doesn't know how many fire trucks it's into the immune event somewhere in your body.

00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:36.800
<v SPEAKER_00>So it sends too many or too little.

00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:42.560
<v SPEAKER_00>And that's what we have in our And that's that's why in the opening I said your anxiety, your sleep, right?

00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:48.959
<v SPEAKER_01>Because I know this connection of the lymphatic system in the brain and how it affects the brain.

00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:52.480
<v SPEAKER_01>And when it's not draining, uh you're we're gonna have problems.

00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:57.040
<v SPEAKER_01>Ayurveda medicine, uh, you know, I mentioned it, you mentioned it, and we're gonna keep mentioning it.

00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:59.439
<v SPEAKER_01>So you better put a little definition around that.

00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:03.680
<v SPEAKER_00>So Ayurveda, Ayurv means life, Veda means science or truth.

00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:09.839
<v SPEAKER_00>So it was a 5,000-year-old system of medicine based on an in-depth study of nature.

00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:12.800
<v SPEAKER_00>They talked about circadian rhythms thousands years ago.

00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:14.399
<v SPEAKER_00>They talked about the microbiome.

00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:18.959
<v SPEAKER_00>They can't see these invisible bugs, but they talked about the fact that they were there a thousand years ago.

00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:26.879
<v SPEAKER_00>And it was a system of medicine that was teaching us how to live in harmony with the natural cycles, right?

00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:33.679
<v SPEAKER_00>So we have diet talk about diets for a second, but diets change constantly.

00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:41.840
<v SPEAKER_00>But when you just think about every ancestor on the planet of for everyone, they ate what was coming out of the ground in season.

00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:45.919
<v SPEAKER_00>And now we have science to show that the bugs in the soil change from season to season.

00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:54.320
<v SPEAKER_00>The bugs in the food that we eat, if we eat it organic and in season, getting the right bugs to inoculate your gut in that season.

00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:57.600
<v SPEAKER_00>These bugs, it's like if I took all the bugs out of you, right?

00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:02.240
<v SPEAKER_00>Sterilize you with insecticides and pesticides, you'd be a different human being because of the psychobiotic effect.

00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:13.120
<v SPEAKER_00>But if I take all the bugs out of my food, which we've done, then we have a situation where we've lost the intelligence of the plant or even the herb or the or the supplement you're taking.

00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:14.720
<v SPEAKER_00>Most of them are just sterile.

00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:21.120
<v SPEAKER_00>So the idea is to recognize that the food and its microbiome create the whole package.

00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:23.440
<v SPEAKER_00>Just like that creates our whole package.

00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:25.039
<v SPEAKER_00>And that's what we have to restore.

00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:26.879
<v SPEAKER_00>And that changes from season to season.

00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:32.879
<v SPEAKER_00>Stanford research showed that the hunt, the Hadza tribe, the hunter-gatherer tribe, their gut bugs change from season to season.

00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:34.399
<v SPEAKER_00>They ate seasonal food.

00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:36.320
<v SPEAKER_00>It's not like rocket science.

00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:40.080
<v SPEAKER_01>We're going to talk about that because I've taught diet variation for many years.

00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:45.600
<v SPEAKER_01>I I'm very rare in our space that people say, what's the perfect diet, right?

00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:48.960
<v SPEAKER_01>Is it paleo, is it vegan, uh plant-based?

00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:50.320
<v SPEAKER_01>I mean, everyone can go down the list, right?

00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:50.960
<v SPEAKER_01>Keto.

00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:54.000
<v SPEAKER_01>And I'm like, no, diet change is the key.

00:09:54.240 --> 00:10:00.159
<v SPEAKER_01>Because again, I mean, studying ancient cultures, nature, things change.

00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:03.360
<v SPEAKER_01>We're going to get there because I I that's a really important topic.

00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:04.399
<v SPEAKER_01>You have a whole book on it.

00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:04.720
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:06.799
<v SPEAKER_01>Three, the three-season diet.

00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:13.679
<v SPEAKER_01>Um, and and like I said, that I that maybe that's how someone ended up connecting us because they're like, yes, someone else talks about this, right?

00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:18.399
<v SPEAKER_01>But you know, that whole thing of uh the ivervedic, I call it ivervedic medicine.

00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:23.679
<v SPEAKER_01>I I mean, I that's a term that someone coined long ago and I just stuck with it, ivervedia.

00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:28.399
<v SPEAKER_01>But um, you know, it really is this the study of nature and study of what we we know.

00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:30.159
<v SPEAKER_01>And I one of my guests said this recently.

00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:37.440
<v SPEAKER_01>They said, you know, if your scientific study contradicts common sense in what happens in nature, redo the study because it's wrong.

00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:41.600
<v SPEAKER_01>You know, meaning like, yeah, we can look at all the science in the world.

00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:47.279
<v SPEAKER_01>Um, but if it, you know, it if it doesn't go with this, then you know, there's something absolutely wrong.

00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:51.840
<v SPEAKER_01>However, uh, this breathing, let's, let's, let's remain on this topic before we leave it.

00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.559
<v SPEAKER_01>The lymphatic connection, the breathing, separating.

00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:58.639
<v SPEAKER_01>I said this at the top of the show, separating the diaphragm from the ribs.

00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:00.000
<v SPEAKER_01>What does that even mean?

00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:13.440
<v SPEAKER_01>You know, but you know, we can look at all of this ancient medicine and wisdom, but really there's a ton of modern-day research that shows that nose breathing, simply shifting someone.

00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:23.120
<v SPEAKER_01>You wrote a book about this, shifting someone to from mouth breathing to nose breathing literally can transform their health in multiple ways because this is all linked that we just said.

00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:23.919
<v SPEAKER_00>100%.

00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:24.480
<v SPEAKER_00>Okay.

00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:29.440
<v SPEAKER_00>You know, when you We did a study, published it in the International Journal of Neuroscience.

00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:32.559
<v SPEAKER_00>That was the basic the theme of my Body Mind Support book.

00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:44.559
<v SPEAKER_00>Um and we found that when we had about 25 high school athletes and they breathed, they did a about they did a a workout with on a bike, 200 watts of resistance, pretty intense.

00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:49.200
<v SPEAKER_00>And they did it with mouth breathing, came back the next day, did it with nose breathing, and vice versa.

00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:50.960
<v SPEAKER_01>Now I was a cyclist.

00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:51.360
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:53.759
<v SPEAKER_01>I tried to nose breathe.

00:11:53.919 --> 00:12:00.639
<v SPEAKER_01>And the moment it would get hard, like really hard, I I was, yeah, I couldn't do it, bro.

00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:01.279
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:07.360
<v SPEAKER_00>Well, I always tell people, because I've been teaching this for decades now, be prepared to suffocate.

00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:07.759
<v SPEAKER_00>Okay.

00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:08.720
<v SPEAKER_00>You know, that's what it felt like.

00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:10.159
<v SPEAKER_00>But it's gonna take three weeks.

00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:12.080
<v SPEAKER_00>You gotta do get to get it three weeks.

00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:13.120
<v SPEAKER_00>I I didn't give enough time.

00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:17.840
<v SPEAKER_01>I just okay, it's great until I get really out of breath, and I have to use my mouth.

00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:18.559
<v SPEAKER_01>I was wrong.

00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:22.559
<v SPEAKER_00>The ribcage becomes a cage if you keep breathing shallow like that.

00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:24.720
<v SPEAKER_00>The rib cage gets tighter and tighter and tighter.

00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:25.919
<v SPEAKER_00>And it takes a while to get that.

00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:26.399
<v SPEAKER_00>So you've got to be able to do that.

00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:28.799
<v SPEAKER_01>You've trained professional cyclists, yeah.

00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:35.440
<v SPEAKER_01>Long distance runners, but cyclists because you have these super high intensity that you've trained them to completely stay in their nose.

00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:44.159
<v SPEAKER_00>John Weissenreiter, who was a dear friend of mine, he was one of my first you know, cases or people athletes I worked with, he was the number one mountain bike rider.

00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:46.000
<v SPEAKER_00>Maybe the world, I think for sure in America.

00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:47.039
<v SPEAKER_00>John Weissenrider.

00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:48.159
<v SPEAKER_00>It was a while, many years ago.

00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:49.039
<v SPEAKER_01>No, no, no, no.

00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:49.679
<v SPEAKER_01>I know the name.

00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:55.519
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, I'm well but when I raced mountain bikes, that was that was like that was his time, and he was a nose breather.

00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:56.720
<v SPEAKER_00>He was all into it, you know.

00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:58.639
<v SPEAKER_00>So you can do it.

00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:01.360
<v SPEAKER_00>That doesn't mean that you never open your mouth.

00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:02.559
<v SPEAKER_00>It's that's not the issue.

00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:12.559
<v SPEAKER_00>It's just that if you don't have full respiratory efficiency and you're breathing like a like a rabbit, shallow breathing, 26,000 breaths per day, and you don't know it, that's a problem.

00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:17.840
<v SPEAKER_00>I was coming into a restaurant about a year and a half ago, and a couple of elderly folks were coming out.

00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:22.320
<v SPEAKER_00>They were like in their 80s or 90s, their mouths were open, they were frail, they were having a hard time getting out.

00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:23.440
<v SPEAKER_00>So I was helping them.

00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:32.480
<v SPEAKER_00>And after that I got them through the doors, I said, you know, if someone would have told them, and we'll teach this, that they could breathe five minutes a day to strengthen their diaphragm.

00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:38.399
<v SPEAKER_00>The research shows, buried in the medical journals, that if you strengthen your diaphragm, you can reverse.

00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:41.840
<v SPEAKER_00>I'm talking reverse, your heartburn, GERD, reflux, and indigestion.

00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:46.399
<v SPEAKER_00>Studies show it can actually lower your blood pressure as fast as I said that at the top of the show, yeah.

00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:49.679
<v SPEAKER_00>In three minutes as fast as the Western medications.

00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:56.639
<v SPEAKER_00>Studies show that women with breast cancer have more congestion of the anterior diaphragmatic lymph nodes than the folk women who don't.

00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:03.279
<v SPEAKER_00>The diaphragm is the number one pump of the febral spinal fluid, which washes the the three pounds of trash out of your head.

00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:06.240
<v SPEAKER_00>It could have so you were thinking at these elderly folks.

00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:18.799
<v SPEAKER_00>Their cognitive decline is linked to not breathing, they're walking around like this, their high blood pressure, their indigestion, their heartburn, their GERD, their arthritis, all these are lymphatic congestion because their lymphatic pump broke down.

00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:21.440
<v SPEAKER_00>And this is not just ancient wisdom.

00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:24.159
<v SPEAKER_00>This is literally buried in the medical journals.

00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:28.000
<v SPEAKER_00>Nobody's looking at it because it's just it's just buried there.

00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:29.360
<v SPEAKER_00>And because there's no application.

00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:35.279
<v SPEAKER_00>You can't you can't put a needle in the limb and say, oh, your your blood sugar is low or your this is low.

00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:39.679
<v SPEAKER_00>It's a moving target, just like we are moving targets as humans, right?

00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:47.600
<v SPEAKER_00>So it's a little harder to evaluate from the Western perspective, but the research is there, and that's what people need to start listening to.

00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:54.320
<v SPEAKER_01>I just had dinner last week um with a gal, she was sitting at the table and she knew who I was, right?

00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:55.919
<v SPEAKER_01>And so she asked me a question.

00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:58.240
<v SPEAKER_01>She said, I have to ask you a question.

00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:09.919
<v SPEAKER_01>Um, my I had terrible night vision, and I took this class on how to breathe and nose breathe and deep breathe and exhale, et cetera.

00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:14.480
<v SPEAKER_01>Could that have something to do with all my night vision is better?

00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:17.600
<v SPEAKER_01>But and and that's the only thing I did did different.

00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:18.480
<v SPEAKER_01>Could that affect it?

00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:19.519
<v SPEAKER_01>I said, absolutely.

00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:23.360
<v SPEAKER_01>I said, night vision is actually a contrast problem.

00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:31.279
<v SPEAKER_01>We used to, we still do, the uh we measure um basically someone's contrast with something called a visual contrast sensitivity test.

00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:34.480
<v SPEAKER_01>And it's an indication of mold illness, actually, biotoxic illness.

00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:37.600
<v SPEAKER_01>It's one of the most accurate tests to see if you have mold problems.

00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:49.120
<v SPEAKER_01>But it literally is looking at contrast, but really more specifically, it's looking at hypoperfusion of the optic nerve, meaning the lack of oxygen of the optic nerve, which is a reflection of what's going on throughout your body, right?

00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:51.039
<v SPEAKER_01>Which explains a lot of mold symptoms.

00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:57.120
<v SPEAKER_01>And basically, without taking a test, if someone says I can't see good at night, that means you'd fail the test, right?

00:15:57.279 --> 00:15:58.639
<v SPEAKER_01>But they have hypoperfusion.

00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:04.399
<v SPEAKER_01>So I explained to her that because she's now breathing, she's getting all this oxygen now in places she never did.

00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:07.600
<v SPEAKER_01>The optic nerve is one of the first places to react.

00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:15.120
<v SPEAKER_01>And she said, Well, I have to say, my energy is better, I'm losing weight, I feel better, I get less headaches, and I'm sleeping deeper.

00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:16.480
<v SPEAKER_01>All because of breathing.

00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:21.840
<v SPEAKER_00>So, anyways, well, you know, pranayam, the word pranayam, the Ayurvedic yoga, pranayam breathing techniques.

00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:27.759
<v SPEAKER_00>Pranay means breath, yam means to pose, to pause or hold or extend your breath.

00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:36.080
<v SPEAKER_00>So when people breathe shallow, without even realizing it, because every one of us do that over time, we start doing something called over breathing.

00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:40.320
<v SPEAKER_00>And over breathing means that you're breathing in more oxygen than you can actually use.

00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:51.200
<v SPEAKER_00>So you're 98% saturation on your oximeter reading on your blood, but but you're blowing off, according to the research, 75% of the oxygen you were breathing in, you're blowing off unused.

00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:55.360
<v SPEAKER_00>And when you're blowing off all that unused oxygen, because you're breathing shallow.

00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:55.840
<v SPEAKER_00>Shallow.

00:16:55.919 --> 00:16:56.080
<v SPEAKER_00>Okay.

00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:58.320
<v SPEAKER_00>And most people are breathing shallow and they don't know it.

00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:01.039
<v SPEAKER_00>And they're also blowing off excess carbon dioxide.

00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:05.759
<v SPEAKER_00>So what happens is the oxygen levels go high and the CO2 levels go low.

00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:11.519
<v SPEAKER_00>Even and you go to the doctor and say, oh, you're 98% saturation, everything is good, but they don't measure your CO2.

00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:16.000
<v SPEAKER_00>And when oxygen is high and CO2 is low, that's the perfect storm for anxiety.

00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:25.279
<v SPEAKER_00>So what happens is you put a paper bag over your mouth, you rebreathe your carbon dioxide, and the CO2 levels come back up and your anxiety goes away.

00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:35.359
<v SPEAKER_00>When oxygen is high as a shallow breather and CO2 is low, the bond between the hemoglobin in your blood and the oxygen in your blood stays super tight.

00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:42.400
<v SPEAKER_00>So everything stays so tight, and therefore the body's reluctant to hyperoxygenate the tissue.

00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:46.480
<v SPEAKER_00>So you become hypoxic, risking mutagenic stem cells and things like that.

00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:54.720
<v SPEAKER_00>But as you slow pranayam, pause, hold, or extend your breath, you slow the breath down, you build up what's called CO2 tolerance, like a free diver can.

00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:59.759
<v SPEAKER_00>And all of a sudden, CO2 levels are now matching and in balance with the oxygen.

00:17:59.920 --> 00:18:02.720
<v SPEAKER_00>And that's the trigger to release the oxygen into your blood.

00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:14.960
<v SPEAKER_00>And then when you look about, talk about free divers who dive, you know, I wonder how 12 minutes down there, they're holding their breath, their oxygen levels are coming down, their CO2 levels are starting to rise significantly.

00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:18.079
<v SPEAKER_00>That's the trigger to say, get all the oxygen into the tissues.

00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:22.799
<v SPEAKER_00>And they found that that's something called intermittent hypoxia.

00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:27.519
<v SPEAKER_00>So when the body starts to hold the breath, pause the breath, or extend the breath, like in pranayam.

00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:41.920
<v SPEAKER_00>That's like one of the things is real deep, slow breathing or holding your breath comfortably gently over time, that causes something where you start holding your breath and your oxygoes from 98% saturation and 95%.

00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:43.839
<v SPEAKER_00>You're still holding your breath, 92%.

00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:47.039
<v SPEAKER_00>When you go into the 80s, you're in intermittent hypoxia.

00:18:47.119 --> 00:19:00.640
<v SPEAKER_00>And that's when the body sends all the emergency vehicles to try to help you and get you back online, which means, and studies show when you do that, stem cells are increased, nitric oxide is increased, endothelial growth factors are increased.

00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:01.039
<v SPEAKER_00>Wow.

00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:04.720
<v SPEAKER_00>Uh EPO, Atlantis Armstrong got busted for injecting.

00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:06.559
<v SPEAKER_00>You make your own when you hold your breath.

00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:19.839
<v SPEAKER_00>Transcription factors called the guardian of your genome that protect your genes from expressing those genetic traits that happen to all of us as we age are produced when you slow your breath down, lengthen it, and build our CO2 tolerance.

00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:23.279
<v SPEAKER_00>And that's what a lot of the breathing exercises are about is just to get us trained.

00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:28.079
<v SPEAKER_00>So the diaphragm is working right, the rib cage is elastic and they're independent of each other.

00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:30.960
<v SPEAKER_00>And you have the ability to breathe long, slow, and deep.

00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:34.000
<v SPEAKER_00>You know, if you saw a bear in the woods, you're not going to go like this.

00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:37.839
<v SPEAKER_00>You know, it's going to be emergency breath.

00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:39.920
<v SPEAKER_00>And that's our culture, that's our life.

00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:42.880
<v SPEAKER_01>The ancient culture, ancient human, right?

00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:44.799
<v SPEAKER_01>They didn't know to hold your breath.

00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:45.680
<v SPEAKER_01>You know what I'm saying?

00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:53.519
<v SPEAKER_01>Meaning, you know, uh, if we're studying ancient cultures, ancient wisdom, it's like, you know, they're relying on innate intelligence, right?

00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:55.519
<v SPEAKER_01>Meaning to deal with their breath.

00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:57.039
<v SPEAKER_01>If they run, it goes up.

00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:00.000
<v SPEAKER_01>If they rest, it comes down, right?

00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:09.839
<v SPEAKER_01>So, you know, if we look at that lesson, then is this a bio, a modern-day biohack that we need because we are more stressed out?

00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:13.680
<v SPEAKER_01>Or is this something that's we did ancient cultures did unknowing?

00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:15.119
<v SPEAKER_01>Uh, you know, help me with that.

00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:22.000
<v SPEAKER_00>In Central America, there were they're called the Native American mail runners, and there were stories and books written about them.

00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:28.240
<v SPEAKER_00>And they would run five, 10, 15 miles to meant to take mail or messages, their messengers.

00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:29.119
<v SPEAKER_00>And they the books.

00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:34.319
<v SPEAKER_00>Well, lots of these cultures like ran their prey down, literally, exhausted it to kill it.

00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:35.920
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah, it's persistent hunting.

00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:38.160
<v SPEAKER_00>And they would put rocks in their mouth.

00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:41.200
<v SPEAKER_00>Try running with rocks in your mouth and breathing through your mouth.

00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:45.359
<v SPEAKER_00>Or they would put water in your mouth and then spit it out at the end.

00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:46.240
<v SPEAKER_00>That was their message.

00:20:46.319 --> 00:20:48.319
<v SPEAKER_00>So I actually, when I was with the New Jersey Nest, I was.

00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:49.920
<v SPEAKER_01>But just to keep them breathing through their nose?

00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:50.160
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:51.759
<v SPEAKER_01>Why not just breathe through your nose?

00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:57.680
<v SPEAKER_00>Well, this way the the teacher knows at the end that the water you spit it out.

00:20:58.319 --> 00:21:01.920
<v SPEAKER_00>Like I was when I was with the New Jersey Ness, I was the director of player development.

00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:06.720
<v SPEAKER_00>I was training some of the athletes, and there's this big, big hill in New Jersey where these guys didn't want to come up.

00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:08.880
<v SPEAKER_00>And they said, and they said, You can't get up that hill.

00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:10.640
<v SPEAKER_00>I said, You just breathe through your nose and get up there.

00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:11.920
<v SPEAKER_00>They were like, they just couldn't do it.

00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:13.920
<v SPEAKER_00>And I said, Okay, I'll bet you a hundred bucks.

00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:14.960
<v SPEAKER_00>I'll drink this water here.

00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:16.400
<v SPEAKER_00>I'll stand and take all my water.

00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:19.440
<v SPEAKER_00>I'll wait for you guys at the top and I'll spit the water out when you come.

00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:21.599
<v SPEAKER_00>And I'll breathe through my nose, my nose the whole way.

00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:22.640
<v SPEAKER_00>I want a hundred bucks.

00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:26.559
<v SPEAKER_00>I never got paid, but it's something that we can all do.

00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:30.960
<v SPEAKER_00>And if you don't have respiratory efficiency, you're in your breathing like a rabbit.

00:21:31.119 --> 00:21:35.279
<v SPEAKER_00>The receptors for fight or flight and stress are up here, and that's where we live.

00:21:35.599 --> 00:21:41.920
<v SPEAKER_00>Down here is the calm, rebuild, repair, rejuvenate, rejuvenate, and digest receptors.

00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:43.599
<v SPEAKER_00>And that's part of the problem.

00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:45.119
<v SPEAKER_00>Nobody can digest their food anymore.

00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:48.240
<v SPEAKER_01>So when we talk about someone being sympathetic dominant, right?

00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:49.680
<v SPEAKER_01>That's a stressed out person.

00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:52.240
<v SPEAKER_01>That's a person who has a lot more anxiety.

00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:54.799
<v SPEAKER_01>That's a person who doesn't sleep as well, right?

00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:57.119
<v SPEAKER_01>So not a good thing, right?

00:21:57.200 --> 00:21:59.839
<v SPEAKER_01>They have typically bad digestion because paranoid.

00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:03.440
<v SPEAKER_01>Parasympathetic, the opposite is more of a relaxed state.

00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:07.039
<v SPEAKER_01>It's your body's digesting, your gut's working at its maximum.

00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:19.279
<v SPEAKER_01>So you're saying is if you want to take control of that, because a lot of people have tried everything to be more calm, to be more parasympathetic to help their digestion and their brain work better.

00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:21.519
<v SPEAKER_01>But you're saying these receptors are up here.

00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:21.839
<v SPEAKER_01>Right.

00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:28.000
<v SPEAKER_01>And it's all connected to this diaphragm and this CO2O2 thing, right?

00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:29.599
<v SPEAKER_01>So and we can retrain it.

00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:30.160
<v SPEAKER_01>Right.

00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:31.759
<v SPEAKER_01>I can show you how to do that real quick.

00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:33.200
<v SPEAKER_01>We're going to show everyone how to do that.

00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:44.880
<v SPEAKER_01>And my wife, you know, when I sit next to my wife, I hear her gasp like for air, like, like, you know, I hear her taking shallow breaths, and then I just, and I I just hear this like gasp.

00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:47.839
<v SPEAKER_01>Like I like I would do it if I was bet like this.

00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:50.799
<v SPEAKER_01>I feel like I feel like that she feels.

00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:55.680
<v SPEAKER_01>And I always look to see like, is her position like I'll even say to her, sit up.

00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:57.200
<v SPEAKER_01>You know, but it's not that.

00:22:57.359 --> 00:22:59.839
<v SPEAKER_01>It's it's this what you're describing.

00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:09.119
<v SPEAKER_01>And before we learn how to do this, this is the technique that you're saying and kind of explain that when you're saying your diaphragm being attached to your rib cage.

00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:12.960
<v SPEAKER_01>It's not physically attached, you're saying, but it's explain that.

00:23:13.279 --> 00:23:16.880
<v SPEAKER_00>The diaphragm is right above the stomach.

00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:25.279
<v SPEAKER_00>So that when you don't breathe very well, and uh we mentioned off air that there was a study done, this may help your wife.

00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:34.480
<v SPEAKER_00>It was a John Hopkins study, and showed that 45 to 65% of the women during their pregnancy or after their pregnancy had what's called the hydalhernia, which means the baby, right?

00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:35.680
<v SPEAKER_00>We all know takes up a lot of space.

00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:38.960
<v SPEAKER_00>It pushes up against Yeah, you immediately asked how many children I have.

00:23:39.200 --> 00:23:39.440
<v SPEAKER_00>Right.

00:23:39.599 --> 00:23:40.240
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah, right.

00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:43.839
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah, we have six, you either have five, five, so I have three births.

00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:48.319
<v SPEAKER_00>I I teach my wife that I mean, we're constantly getting her to train her diaphragm after six babies.

00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:50.240
<v SPEAKER_00>Your wife had a lot of babies.

00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:59.039
<v SPEAKER_00>And a lot of when that baby takes up space and pushes the stomach against the diaphragm, the diaphragm can't contract anymore because there's a big stomach in the way.

00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:02.079
<v SPEAKER_00>And sometimes that stomach just never really comes down.

00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:08.559
<v SPEAKER_00>And oftentimes women postpartum have digestive issues and health concerns that just last for decades.

00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:11.519
<v SPEAKER_00>They say things like, you know, I've never been the same since my babies.

00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:13.839
<v SPEAKER_00>And that's what's happening here.

00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:16.400
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:17.359
<v SPEAKER_00>Oh, I hear it all the time.

00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:19.759
<v SPEAKER_00>I told my publisher years ago, I said, I want to write a book like that.

00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:20.960
<v SPEAKER_00>And he said, Oh, that's stupid.

00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:22.640
<v SPEAKER_00>No one would read that book.

00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:28.480
<v SPEAKER_00>And, you know, 20 years later, I'm going, I still have these patients coming to my office telling me the exact exact same thing, you know.

00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:29.519
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, interesting.

00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:33.039
<v SPEAKER_01>So you're saying like physically it could be pushed up from pregnancy.

00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:35.920
<v SPEAKER_01>What else could cause this stress.

00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:36.799
<v SPEAKER_01>Okay, stress.

00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:42.400
<v SPEAKER_00>The other thing that can cause it is, you know, digestive issues, heartburn, GERD, reflux.

00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:44.160
<v SPEAKER_00>We hear the whole seed oil thing, right?

00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:46.400
<v SPEAKER_00>When you eat seed oils, it creates bile sludge.

00:24:46.640 --> 00:24:48.720
<v SPEAKER_00>Bile sludge means you're not making enough bile.

00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:53.599
<v SPEAKER_00>Well, bile is not only an emulsifier of fat, it's a buffer for stomach acid.

00:24:53.759 --> 00:25:00.880
<v SPEAKER_00>So you eat a ham sandwich, your stomach says, Hey, I need a bunch of acid to cook the gluten in the bread and the protein in the ham.

00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:06.960
<v SPEAKER_00>And I need a bunch of bile to emulsify all that or to buffer all that acid.

00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:10.240
<v SPEAKER_00>I also need a bunch of bile to, you know, break down the fat and ham.

00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:10.880
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah, of course.

00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:11.119
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:17.680
<v SPEAKER_00>So the stomach sends a message to your liver and says, I need this much bile like now, and your stomach, and your liver's going, like, man, we're busy down here.

00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:18.880
<v SPEAKER_00>We just can't do it.

00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:25.039
<v SPEAKER_00>And the stomach says, it's all right, man, I'll just hold on to the food and the acid and everything, and I'll just hold on to it.

00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:29.519
<v SPEAKER_00>And you start burping, you get heartburn, indigestion, and it pushes up.

00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:34.000
<v SPEAKER_00>In Ayurveda, they call it oodvarta or upward-moving digestion.

00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:40.480
<v SPEAKER_00>In Western medicine, we call it gastroparesis, where the stomach is just holding on to the food longer than it should, and it's gonna go up.

00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:48.480
<v SPEAKER_00>And it's gonna, and now your diaphragm, which is trying to breathe 26,000 times a day, is trying to contract, but there's a big stomach in the way.

00:25:48.640 --> 00:26:03.599
<v SPEAKER_00>So you start to shallow breathe, not to mention the stress in your life, and this happened, and this happened in the TV and the politics, and we're constantly being bombarded by stress as opposed to our ancestors, which it was like pretty chill, you know, compared to getting chased by a lion once in a while.

00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:09.200
<v SPEAKER_00>Basically, life was, you know, that deep silence and resonance and presence of nature.

00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:12.160
<v SPEAKER_00>We all entrained and were in resonance with that.

00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:13.279
<v SPEAKER_00>We don't have that anymore.

00:26:13.440 --> 00:26:27.920
<v SPEAKER_00>So we have to do something daily to get this diaphragm to pull that air down into the receptors that calm you down, get that balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide and nitric oxide, because those are the three that keep us young.

00:26:28.079 --> 00:26:31.039
<v SPEAKER_00>You know, the nitric oxide is produced when you breathe through your nose.

00:26:31.359 --> 00:26:32.079
<v SPEAKER_01>Vasodilator.

00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:32.559
<v SPEAKER_00>Right.

00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:34.880
<v SPEAKER_00>And it's produced when you breathe through your nose.

00:26:35.200 --> 00:26:37.599
<v SPEAKER_00>Produce zero when you breathe through and out mouth.

00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:43.680
<v SPEAKER_00>And the by the age of 40, the average American has lost 50% of their nitric oxide production.

00:26:43.759 --> 00:26:46.240
<v SPEAKER_00>And just like you said, it's the vasodilator.

00:26:46.400 --> 00:26:50.559
<v SPEAKER_00>It's the one that allows the kid to roll down the stairs again and again and do it and love it.

00:26:50.960 --> 00:26:55.759
<v SPEAKER_00>You and I, if we did that, like, I'm like, I'm not gonna do that every time, I'm gonna do it twice.

00:26:56.160 --> 00:27:06.799
<v SPEAKER_00>You know, because we've lost that vasoelasticity that the our arteries become like rock, our bones be our muscles become stiff, we become rigid as we get older.

00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:17.759
<v SPEAKER_00>And that was like one of the key longevity factors thousands of years ago, is to keep the body able to boost its own nitric oxide production to stay supple and elastic as you age.

00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:19.200
<v SPEAKER_00>It's like a critical piece of the puzzle.

00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:20.880
<v SPEAKER_00>And your diaphragm is like step one.

00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:21.359
<v SPEAKER_00>Wow.

00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:22.400
<v SPEAKER_00>And we can retrain this.

00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:23.039
<v SPEAKER_00>Oh, 100%.

00:27:24.640 --> 00:27:27.599
<v SPEAKER_00>Like I said, five, what I'm gonna teach you guys just five minutes a day.

00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:30.799
<v SPEAKER_00>And you can do more for sure, but at the least, just do five minutes a day.

00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:36.640
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, but I think that's key because it's if you give someone a small goal, I feel like we can get everyone to do this, right?

00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:37.039
<v SPEAKER_01>Five minutes.

00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:38.960
<v SPEAKER_01>And you can do this in front of your computer.

00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:40.319
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, oh, even better.

00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:40.799
<v SPEAKER_01>Right, right.

00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:41.519
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, exactly.

00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:43.759
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, if we could do it in bed, can we do it in bed?

00:27:44.559 --> 00:27:45.759
<v SPEAKER_01>Actually, you can do it in bed.

00:27:46.079 --> 00:27:47.920
<v SPEAKER_01>Oh man, forget you guys are set.

00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:52.079
<v SPEAKER_00>There is an in bed version of this, so I can teach that to you too.

00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:52.559
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:58.799
<v SPEAKER_01>This is it's fascinating though, because like you said, this balance of oxygen, CO2, nitric oxide, right?

00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:03.039
<v SPEAKER_01>And and I that makes sense to me, and it kind of answers my earlier question too.

00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:10.480
<v SPEAKER_01>Like why ancient cultures really this wouldn't have impacted them as much because number one, they didn't have enough the amount of stress that we do.

00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:15.359
<v SPEAKER_01>Number two, yeah, their diaphragm wasn't up here because of that amount of stress, right?

00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:17.519
<v SPEAKER_01>So a lot of this they were doing naturally.

00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:18.000
<v SPEAKER_00>Right.

00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:18.960
<v SPEAKER_00>And they were always moving.

00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:25.519
<v SPEAKER_00>They were, you know, the other thing that they didn't have until 5,000 years ago, and that was only for the royalty, were chairs.

00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:25.839
<v SPEAKER_00>No.

00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:26.640
<v SPEAKER_00>They didn't have them.

00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:26.880
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

00:28:27.039 --> 00:28:28.079
<v SPEAKER_00>And squatting, they squatted.

00:28:28.240 --> 00:28:28.640
<v SPEAKER_01>That's all they did.

00:28:28.720 --> 00:28:29.680
<v SPEAKER_01>And when you squat, you breathe.

00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:40.319
<v SPEAKER_01>By the way, as a former chiropractor of structural correction, I can tell you squatting puts the spine in the perfect position, reach, trains the spine in the perfect.

00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:43.200
<v SPEAKER_01>You know, sitting drives the head forward and the hips forward.

00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:44.640
<v SPEAKER_01>It does everything opposite.

00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:53.039
<v SPEAKER_01>When you squat, your head goes back, you your hip goes, hips go in the perfect position, and your spine is like literally trained for the perfect position.

00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:54.880
<v SPEAKER_00>So that's how they spend most of their time.

00:28:54.960 --> 00:28:57.200
<v SPEAKER_00>If they weren't running or chasing some, they were squatting.

00:28:57.279 --> 00:28:57.359
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

00:28:58.079 --> 00:29:00.640
<v SPEAKER_01>But it opens the knees up, it opens the hips up.

00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:04.160
<v SPEAKER_01>Everything, all your joints that age as us chairs.

00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:07.359
<v SPEAKER_00>Some of these breathing techniques you can do in a squatting position.

00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:09.839
<v SPEAKER_00>I have to have people do that to train the floor of the pelvis.

00:29:10.240 --> 00:29:12.880
<v SPEAKER_01>You know, squatting is one of those things too, is like you go to these.

00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:20.160
<v SPEAKER_01>I've been to Africa several times, and it's like you I see these like very, very old people, put them right down in a squat position.

00:29:20.640 --> 00:29:27.279
<v SPEAKER_01>You take an American and put uh an 80-year-old, let alone a hundred-year-old American, and tell them to squat, good luck.

00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:28.960
<v SPEAKER_01>They're not coming up or they're not going back.

00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:30.160
<v SPEAKER_01>They're not making it down either.

00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:31.200
<v SPEAKER_01>Things are gonna just go.

00:29:31.839 --> 00:29:32.079
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:35.680
<v SPEAKER_01>So, but yeah, I mean, and it pulls the oxygen in the joints.

00:29:35.839 --> 00:29:37.920
<v SPEAKER_01>I mean, squatting's, we could do a whole show on that.

00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:45.440
<v SPEAKER_01>But anyway, um, okay, so we're gonna learn this technique that we're gonna do five at least five minutes a day.

00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:49.839
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah that's going to separate the diaphragm from the rib cage.

00:29:50.079 --> 00:29:58.640
<v SPEAKER_01>It's gonna improve blood flow, bile flow, digestion, our brain, uh, our brain, how our brain works, our lymphatic system.

00:29:58.799 --> 00:30:01.359
<v SPEAKER_01>So now we're gonna be clearing toxins that much better.

00:30:01.440 --> 00:30:01.519
<v SPEAKER_01>Right.

00:30:01.680 --> 00:30:01.839
<v SPEAKER_01>Right?

00:30:01.920 --> 00:30:03.039
<v SPEAKER_01>It's gonna improve our sleep.

00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:03.279
<v SPEAKER_01>Right.

00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:06.400
<v SPEAKER_01>If people have chronic pain, it's gonna improve our chronic pain.

00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:06.880
<v SPEAKER_01>Right.

00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:15.440
<v SPEAKER_00>So I'm gonna give you one tech, one technique, which I'll call flossing your diaphragm, or sometimes I call it calisthenics for the diaphragm.

00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:20.079
<v SPEAKER_00>It's just we just gotta get this, we gotta get the rib cage to be independent of your diaphragm.

00:30:20.319 --> 00:30:21.200
<v SPEAKER_00>They can't be stuck together.

00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:21.440
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:22.720
<v SPEAKER_00>And that's how it is with most people.

00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:22.960
<v SPEAKER_00>Okay.

00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:27.519
<v SPEAKER_00>And then I can give you some other, like when you're walking your dog, what what's a really cool breathing technique you can do?

00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:28.720
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, we're gonna learn all this.

00:30:28.880 --> 00:30:29.279
<v SPEAKER_00>Okay, good.

00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:29.519
<v SPEAKER_00>All right.

00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:32.240
<v SPEAKER_00>So the first one is really simple.

00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:33.440
<v SPEAKER_00>And I've got a video on this.

00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:36.880
<v SPEAKER_00>If you want to watch it in depth, it's called the best diaphanic breathing exercise.

00:30:36.960 --> 00:30:38.640
<v SPEAKER_00>You can go and check that on my on my site.

00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:45.599
<v SPEAKER_00>But we're gonna the first thing we're gonna do is we're gonna do just gonna breathe your belly, then your chest, then your upper chest.

00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:58.319
<v SPEAKER_00>Now, what's interesting is that the research journals call the thing that lowered blood pressure and reverse your harper and girl indigestion and and got rid of the extra weight around your belly because the diaphragm is the pump for all the fat.

00:30:58.480 --> 00:31:01.200
<v SPEAKER_00>And that's that's not fat, that's lymph congestion.

00:31:01.359 --> 00:31:06.559
<v SPEAKER_00>The lion's share of the lymph in your body is around your belly, and that's why that takes a beating first.

00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:12.319
<v SPEAKER_00>So, this is all gonna be about getting that lymph system to move from your belly and now we've got people committed.

00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:12.880
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah, right.

00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:14.000
<v SPEAKER_00>We now you got them.

00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:14.480
<v SPEAKER_00>Okay.

00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:20.720
<v SPEAKER_00>So, so we're gonna breathe through our nose only, and we're gonna breathe in and feel the belly only.

00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:22.640
<v SPEAKER_00>Belly, so you're probably good to do this.

00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:25.279
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah, put your hand on your belly, put your hand on your chest so you get feel.

00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:28.480
<v SPEAKER_00>Now, if when you feel your belly, push it out like a Buddha belly, like that.

00:31:28.559 --> 00:31:32.319
<v SPEAKER_00>So breathe in through the belly, stick that belly out, belly out.

00:31:32.400 --> 00:31:33.920
<v SPEAKER_00>Now go to your chest.

00:31:35.200 --> 00:31:37.200
<v SPEAKER_00>And now go to your upper chest.

00:31:38.559 --> 00:31:38.880
<v SPEAKER_00>Good.

00:31:39.039 --> 00:31:40.079
<v SPEAKER_00>And then let it out.

00:31:40.640 --> 00:31:44.160
<v SPEAKER_01>Now the next step, I can tell you you have so much more volume than me.

00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:44.559
<v SPEAKER_01>Oh, really?

00:31:44.880 --> 00:31:50.640
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, I mean, I can just like watch you, like uh like you put so much air here, here, I can just tell like I'm discouraged here.

00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:51.680
<v SPEAKER_01>I gotta I gotta keep up with it.

00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:53.519
<v SPEAKER_00>We'll get you on this.

00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:56.480
<v SPEAKER_00>So the the last step of this is to take it to maximal.

00:31:56.559 --> 00:32:03.599
<v SPEAKER_00>So at the very end, at the very top, you're gonna take little sips of air through your nose to take as much as you can in.

00:32:03.680 --> 00:32:06.799
<v SPEAKER_00>But we're doing it long and slow and deep.

00:32:06.880 --> 00:32:10.079
<v SPEAKER_00>So we're not going really fast because that could try that could create an emergency.

00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:10.960
<v SPEAKER_00>A little bit at a time.

00:32:11.119 --> 00:32:11.279
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

00:32:11.359 --> 00:32:12.480
<v SPEAKER_00>So we're going really slow.

00:32:12.640 --> 00:32:13.599
<v SPEAKER_00>That's a key piece here.

00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:14.400
<v SPEAKER_00>So here we go again.

00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:17.119
<v SPEAKER_01>By the way, I tell people when they have hiccups to do that.

00:32:17.359 --> 00:32:17.519
<v SPEAKER_01>Right.

00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:22.799
<v SPEAKER_01>Like go as far as you uh, okay, now go because it forces the diaphragm down.

00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:24.319
<v SPEAKER_00>It's it fixes hiccups.

00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:25.440
<v SPEAKER_00>Okay, so that makes sense to me.

00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:26.160
<v SPEAKER_00>Exactly.

00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:27.200
<v SPEAKER_00>All right, so here we go again.

00:32:27.359 --> 00:32:28.240
<v SPEAKER_00>Now we're gonna do the whole thing.

00:32:28.400 --> 00:32:37.920
<v SPEAKER_00>Belly all the way in as you breathe in, belly, belly, belly, belly, belly, chest, upper chest, at the very top, little sips.

00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:41.519
<v SPEAKER_00>Feel the pull into your rib cage, let the air out.

00:32:41.599 --> 00:33:00.480
<v SPEAKER_00>And when you get the air out, narrow the rib cage, contract your abdomen, and breathe in again, belly goes out, chest, upper chest, sip, sip, sip, and out.

00:33:02.079 --> 00:33:03.839
<v SPEAKER_00>That's the first video, really easy.

00:33:04.079 --> 00:33:05.359
<v SPEAKER_00>Okay, I do feel it, like you said.

00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:06.000
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:08.960
<v SPEAKER_00>You're feeling the diaphragm go down and your rib cages going up.

00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:12.160
<v SPEAKER_00>Now we're gonna exaggerate that by taking your arms over your head like this.

00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:12.559
<v SPEAKER_00>Okay.

00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:13.759
<v SPEAKER_00>Okay, now we're gonna do the same thing.

00:33:13.839 --> 00:33:16.640
<v SPEAKER_00>We're gonna feel the belly as you breathe in, belly goes out.

00:33:18.720 --> 00:33:22.559
<v SPEAKER_00>Chest all the way with your chest, upper chest.

00:33:23.119 --> 00:33:25.759
<v SPEAKER_00>Then reach, reach, reach, sip, sip, sip.

00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:29.759
<v SPEAKER_00>Much as you can, and the arms come back down.

00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:32.880
<v SPEAKER_00>You might have felt that like wow.

00:33:33.039 --> 00:33:34.799
<v SPEAKER_00>Like I might, you know, if you really reach it.

00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:36.160
<v SPEAKER_00>I felt like I could get more in.

00:33:36.319 --> 00:33:36.640
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:42.240
<v SPEAKER_00>And this is really going up and the diaphragm is really going down, you're creating a whole lot of elasticity.

00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:45.119
<v SPEAKER_00>And you do 10 like that in front of your computer.

00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:45.839
<v SPEAKER_00>Oh, it's like right now.

00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:46.559
<v SPEAKER_01>So that's five minutes.

00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:47.200
<v SPEAKER_01>Let's just do one more.

00:33:47.440 --> 00:33:48.880
<v SPEAKER_00>Okay, then we go belly.

00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:51.359
<v SPEAKER_00>Arms, arms, arm, arms over first.

00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:52.079
<v SPEAKER_00>Sorry.

00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:52.960
<v SPEAKER_00>Go now.

00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:54.240
<v SPEAKER_00>Breathe into the belly.

00:33:55.519 --> 00:33:56.079
<v SPEAKER_00>Chest.

00:33:56.960 --> 00:33:57.839
<v SPEAKER_00>Upper chest.

00:33:58.319 --> 00:33:59.599
<v SPEAKER_00>Reach and sip.

00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:02.079
<v SPEAKER_00>And then come down.

00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:03.759
<v SPEAKER_00>Narrow the rib cage.

00:34:04.319 --> 00:34:07.119
<v SPEAKER_00>All the way, contract the album, get all that air out.

00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:10.639
<v SPEAKER_00>Do ten straight up, and then go ten to the side.

00:34:11.039 --> 00:34:11.679
<v SPEAKER_00>Over to the side.

00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:12.239
<v SPEAKER_00>Same thing.

00:34:12.400 --> 00:34:13.360
<v SPEAKER_00>Feel your belly.

00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:16.079
<v SPEAKER_00>Chest.

00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:17.920
<v SPEAKER_00>Upper chest.

00:34:18.400 --> 00:34:19.679
<v SPEAKER_00>Zip, sip, sip.

00:34:20.639 --> 00:34:24.239
<v SPEAKER_00>And then when you come out this way, breathe all the way out.

00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:26.000
<v SPEAKER_00>Narrow the rib cage, contract.

00:34:26.239 --> 00:34:27.039
<v SPEAKER_00>I'm gonna go to the other side.

00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:27.840
<v SPEAKER_00>Squeeze it all out.

00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:30.159
<v SPEAKER_00>Squeeze it, squeeze it, squeeze it all the way out.

00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:33.760
<v SPEAKER_00>And you do 10 way.

00:34:33.840 --> 00:34:35.039
<v SPEAKER_01>You want opposite the let out.

00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:35.360
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:35.599
<v SPEAKER_01>Okay.

00:34:35.760 --> 00:34:39.440
<v SPEAKER_00>So you breathe in, in, in, in, then out all the way the other side.

00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:40.880
<v SPEAKER_01>Okay, then you're all the way.

00:34:41.039 --> 00:34:43.280
<v SPEAKER_01>So you do 10 straight, 10 to both sides.

00:34:43.360 --> 00:34:43.599
<v SPEAKER_01>Yep.

00:34:43.760 --> 00:34:44.960
<v SPEAKER_01>So that's 10, 20, 30.

00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:46.559
<v SPEAKER_00>And you can do this right in front of your computer.

00:34:46.880 --> 00:34:46.960
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:48.159
<v SPEAKER_00>So 10 2030.

00:34:48.480 --> 00:34:48.880
<v SPEAKER_00>That's it.

00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:49.440
<v SPEAKER_00>That's it.

00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:50.239
<v SPEAKER_01>I can do this.

00:34:50.400 --> 00:34:50.559
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:51.599
<v SPEAKER_01>It's easy to do.

00:34:51.840 --> 00:35:00.320
<v SPEAKER_01>My wife will even say she can do this because you know how you do all the beep breathing things and the breath in the breath and she she's too ADD for it all.

00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:02.880
<v SPEAKER_00>I mean, you know, let me teach you the one for for her in bed.

00:35:03.039 --> 00:35:03.199
<v SPEAKER_00>Okay.

00:35:03.360 --> 00:35:04.639
<v SPEAKER_00>This is the thing you do.

00:35:04.960 --> 00:35:06.239
<v SPEAKER_00>You can do it sitting too.

00:35:06.320 --> 00:35:06.480
<v SPEAKER_00>Okay.

00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:08.400
<v SPEAKER_00>What's this going to do for her bed?

00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:09.679
<v SPEAKER_00>This is going to be in bed.

00:35:09.840 --> 00:35:10.320
<v SPEAKER_00>She wakes up.

00:35:10.480 --> 00:35:13.920
<v SPEAKER_00>Everybody, you you wake up, roll over on your back, and you do this exercise.

00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:15.679
<v SPEAKER_00>And this can be your five minutes.

00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:16.000
<v SPEAKER_00>Okay.

00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:17.760
<v SPEAKER_00>It's a little bit of a different exercise.

00:35:18.079 --> 00:35:19.840
<v SPEAKER_01>Okay, so I'm just laying on my bed.

00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:20.159
<v SPEAKER_01>Yep.

00:35:20.320 --> 00:35:20.880
<v SPEAKER_01>And okay, back.

00:35:21.440 --> 00:35:22.480
<v SPEAKER_00>We're going to pretend we're laying down.

00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:23.599
<v SPEAKER_00>So here's how it works.

00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:28.880
<v SPEAKER_00>We just taught you how to breathe belly, chest, upper chest, which is exactly how humans breathe.

00:35:29.119 --> 00:35:30.239
<v SPEAKER_00>Always upper chest.

00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:35.119
<v SPEAKER_00>If you watch your dog breathe, your baby breathe, a horse breathe, they don't do that.

00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:36.239
<v SPEAKER_00>They breathe laterally.

00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:37.920
<v SPEAKER_00>It's called lateral or horizontal breathing.

00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:39.280
<v SPEAKER_00>Right.

00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:40.320
<v SPEAKER_00>So we're going to do that.

00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:41.760
<v SPEAKER_00>That's this exercise.

00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:44.400
<v SPEAKER_00>So this time, we're not going to go to the chest.

00:35:44.639 --> 00:35:46.079
<v SPEAKER_00>We're going to feel the belly.

00:35:47.119 --> 00:35:48.559
<v SPEAKER_00>Now we're going to not go here.

00:35:48.639 --> 00:35:49.760
<v SPEAKER_00>We're going to go here.

00:35:51.039 --> 00:35:52.800
<v SPEAKER_00>And push the air out to your side.

00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:54.159
<v SPEAKER_00>Sip it.

00:35:54.639 --> 00:35:55.920
<v SPEAKER_00>Feel the pressure here.

00:35:56.639 --> 00:35:59.119
<v SPEAKER_00>Feel the pressure if you keep sipping into your back.

00:35:59.679 --> 00:36:03.760
<v SPEAKER_00>And then as you lie on your back in the bed, squeeze it.

00:36:05.119 --> 00:36:06.159
<v SPEAKER_00>Contract it.

00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:08.719
<v SPEAKER_00>Belly goes out.

00:36:09.119 --> 00:36:10.000
<v SPEAKER_00>Don't go up.

00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:11.679
<v SPEAKER_00>Go low and wide.

00:36:12.559 --> 00:36:14.079
<v SPEAKER_00>Push the air out to your sides.

00:36:14.320 --> 00:36:18.320
<v SPEAKER_00>Feel that lateral pressure, like you're pumping like a basketball kind of feeling.

00:36:18.800 --> 00:36:21.360
<v SPEAKER_00>Keep sipping air till you take it to maximal.

00:36:21.519 --> 00:36:24.239
<v SPEAKER_00>Narrow the rib cage and contract your abdomen.

00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:27.760
<v SPEAKER_00>You literally do that while you're lying in bed in the morning.

00:36:27.840 --> 00:36:31.119
<v SPEAKER_00>And that will get your abdominal moving, your peristalsis going.

00:36:31.199 --> 00:36:32.320
<v SPEAKER_00>You'll wake up, have a great bounce.

00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:34.000
<v SPEAKER_00>I mean that's when kickstarts.

00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:34.880
<v SPEAKER_01>You're keeping it here.

00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:35.760
<v SPEAKER_01>You're not going chest.

00:36:35.920 --> 00:36:36.719
<v SPEAKER_01>You're not going up this time.

00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:37.039
<v SPEAKER_01>All right.

00:36:37.119 --> 00:36:37.199
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:38.639
<v SPEAKER_01>You're keeping it here.

00:36:38.719 --> 00:36:42.559
<v SPEAKER_01>And then you're feeling that expansion in the back, which I felt.

00:36:42.639 --> 00:36:46.159
<v SPEAKER_01>And then you're contracting your focus on the contraction that way.

00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:54.000
<v SPEAKER_00>You gotta have to do both too, because you've got to get the rib cage to go up and over and the dribble and then to go.

00:36:54.480 --> 00:36:58.000
<v SPEAKER_01>That's helping that separation, as you're saying, of the diaphragm.

00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:02.079
<v SPEAKER_01>This is it can also adhere to the back.

00:37:02.559 --> 00:37:02.960
<v SPEAKER_01>Diaphragm.

00:37:03.199 --> 00:37:05.840
<v SPEAKER_01>And that's why maybe I I don't know where I got got this.

00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:12.639
<v SPEAKER_01>Um I heard you talking about the how so much low back pain goes away within just days of doing this.

00:37:13.119 --> 00:37:13.519
<v SPEAKER_01>Unbelievable.

00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:14.079
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:15.440
<v SPEAKER_01>So so much back pain.

00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:19.199
<v SPEAKER_01>When I wrote my book, Body, Mind, Sport, it was just closer though.

00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:23.039
<v SPEAKER_00>Just when I wrote my book, Body, Mind Sport, it was just nose breathing versus mouth breathing.

00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:25.440
<v SPEAKER_00>I just told people just breathe through the nose when they exercise.

00:37:25.519 --> 00:37:30.000
<v SPEAKER_00>So it was like more than that, but there was nothing like this, nothing, no exercises specifically.

00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:36.079
<v SPEAKER_00>And I started getting letters this way before email in the mail saying, My little back pain's better, my hip pain's better.

00:37:36.159 --> 00:37:38.719
<v SPEAKER_00>I'm going, like, I all I told you to do is breathe through your nose.

00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:44.400
<v SPEAKER_00>I just, you know, then I started realizing this thing is bigger than just nose breathing versus mouth breathing.

00:37:44.800 --> 00:37:46.960
<v SPEAKER_01>I'm fortunately a nose breather.

00:37:47.119 --> 00:37:49.679
<v SPEAKER_01>At night I breathe naturally through my nose.

00:37:49.920 --> 00:37:57.920
<v SPEAKER_01>Um, you know, if you're sick or something, or um, you know, I I'm typically like a one glass of wine person.

00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:00.960
<v SPEAKER_01>Let's say I have three or four, I'll be a mouth breezer.

00:38:01.039 --> 00:38:01.760
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, right.

00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:04.320
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, I'm saying so it shows you it's not good.

00:38:04.639 --> 00:38:10.400
<v SPEAKER_01>But um the the people that are taping their mouth, I I have a few issues with it.

00:38:10.559 --> 00:38:10.880
<v SPEAKER_01>Okay.

00:38:11.039 --> 00:38:16.320
<v SPEAKER_01>Number one, a lot of people are doing that, but the cause is an airway issue.

00:38:16.559 --> 00:38:20.079
<v SPEAKER_01>So much infection in their mouth, they'll get airway issues, right?

00:38:20.159 --> 00:38:21.760
<v SPEAKER_01>It'll drive inflammation.

00:38:22.079 --> 00:38:29.039
<v SPEAKER_01>And by taping the mouth, it's arguably for someone that doesn't have that, it could train them to breathe through their nose.

00:38:29.199 --> 00:38:34.000
<v SPEAKER_01>However, you know, they're now trying to keep their mouth shut, breathing in their brain's not getting enough oxygen.

00:38:34.079 --> 00:38:39.679
<v SPEAKER_01>They're breathing through their darn mouth because their brain can't get enough oxygen because they have airway issues, which could be infection.

00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:40.400
<v SPEAKER_01>It could be other things.

00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:44.239
<v SPEAKER_01>It could be structural problems, it could be there's a lot of things that cause airway issues.

00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:47.360
<v SPEAKER_01>But I mean, what a what do you think about this taping?

00:38:47.920 --> 00:38:52.960
<v SPEAKER_00>I think you have to do the nose breathing training in life while you're walking, exercising, doing things.

00:38:53.199 --> 00:38:54.159
<v SPEAKER_01>Okay, and that was the second thing.

00:38:54.400 --> 00:39:00.800
<v SPEAKER_01>So you learned this, but again, when we're walking, doing things, we should because when people start walking, they don't realize they're mouth breathing.

00:39:00.880 --> 00:39:01.039
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

00:39:01.199 --> 00:39:01.440
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

00:39:01.519 --> 00:39:02.800
<v SPEAKER_01>But they need to keep the mouth shut.

00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:04.320
<v SPEAKER_01>They need to put water rocks in their mouth.

00:39:04.559 --> 00:39:08.159
<v SPEAKER_00>So here's a couple of things before I want to talk about mouth taping and how to do it properly.

00:39:08.480 --> 00:39:09.199
<v SPEAKER_00>I threw a lot out here.

00:39:09.360 --> 00:39:09.920
<v SPEAKER_00>Because that's a lot.

00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:10.239
<v SPEAKER_00>Okay.

00:39:10.400 --> 00:39:11.360
<v SPEAKER_00>That's really important.

00:39:11.599 --> 00:39:12.960
<v SPEAKER_00>Because it's not a life sentence.

00:39:13.199 --> 00:39:14.559
<v SPEAKER_00>Mouth taping is not a forever thing.

00:39:14.800 --> 00:39:16.239
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah, no, it's it's about retraining.

00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:16.480
<v SPEAKER_01>Right.

00:39:16.719 --> 00:39:20.639
<v SPEAKER_01>My point, though, is if you have infection and inflammation, you're not retraining anything ever.

00:39:20.800 --> 00:39:20.960
<v SPEAKER_01>Right.

00:39:21.199 --> 00:39:22.639
<v SPEAKER_00>And you could be getting less oxygen.

00:39:23.199 --> 00:39:23.679
<v SPEAKER_00>Exactly.

00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:26.480
<v SPEAKER_00>So here are some walking exercises.

00:39:26.639 --> 00:39:30.480
<v SPEAKER_00>When you go for a walk, count how many steps you take for your inhalation.

00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:31.599
<v SPEAKER_00>Always for the nose.

00:39:31.760 --> 00:39:33.599
<v SPEAKER_00>One, two, three, four on the inhale.

00:39:33.679 --> 00:39:34.960
<v SPEAKER_00>One, two, three, four on the outer.

00:39:35.280 --> 00:39:35.840
<v SPEAKER_00>Box breathing.

00:39:36.079 --> 00:39:38.800
<v SPEAKER_00>Well, no, this is just walking and counting how many steps.

00:39:39.119 --> 00:39:40.320
<v SPEAKER_01>Wouldn't that be like a box breathing?

00:39:40.480 --> 00:39:40.639
<v SPEAKER_01>Meaning.

00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:43.760
<v SPEAKER_00>Exhale, hold like that.

00:39:44.159 --> 00:39:46.400
<v SPEAKER_00>So this is so what you're going to do here is really simple.

00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:51.119
<v SPEAKER_00>You're just going to try to take 10 steps for your inhalation, and you're going to try to take 15.

00:39:51.760 --> 00:39:54.159
<v SPEAKER_01>So the four was what most people do.

00:39:54.400 --> 00:39:54.559
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:58.559
<v SPEAKER_01>But you're saying try to do 10 steps to go in, 10 steps on the way out.

00:39:58.639 --> 00:39:58.880
<v SPEAKER_00>Trevor Burrus, Jr.

00:39:58.960 --> 00:39:59.039
<v SPEAKER_00>No.

00:39:59.840 --> 00:40:01.440
<v SPEAKER_00>15 to 20 on the way out.

00:40:01.920 --> 00:40:02.000
<v SPEAKER_00>Okay.

00:40:02.239 --> 00:40:02.320
<v SPEAKER_00>Okay.

00:40:02.800 --> 00:40:04.800
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, because to your point, exhale is more important.

00:40:04.880 --> 00:40:05.519
<v SPEAKER_01>That's that CO2.

00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:07.039
<v SPEAKER_00>CO2 tolerance, right?

00:40:07.199 --> 00:40:07.840
<v SPEAKER_00>So that's your goal.

00:40:08.000 --> 00:40:10.000
<v SPEAKER_00>Now not you're not going to do that right away, but that's a goal.

00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:12.159
<v SPEAKER_01>Trevor Burrus, Jr.: 10 on the way in, 10 steps on the way in.

00:40:12.480 --> 00:40:14.880
<v SPEAKER_01>And by the way, y'all should be walking after meals anyway.

00:40:15.039 --> 00:40:15.280
<v SPEAKER_01>Oh, yeah.

00:40:15.679 --> 00:40:21.119
<v SPEAKER_01>Just a little bit of walking after meals is transformative to blood glucose insulin and how much fat you actually store.

00:40:21.360 --> 00:40:25.519
<v SPEAKER_01>But anyways, 10 steps and then 15 to 20 on the way out.

00:40:25.679 --> 00:40:25.840
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

00:40:26.000 --> 00:40:26.079
<v SPEAKER_00>Okay.

00:40:26.239 --> 00:40:27.599
<v SPEAKER_00>And that'll lengthen the exhale.

00:40:27.760 --> 00:40:29.039
<v SPEAKER_00>So that's one that you can do.

00:40:29.199 --> 00:40:33.280
<v SPEAKER_00>Another one, if you want to do, which is really a kind of a fun one, is you is you just go for a walk.

00:40:33.360 --> 00:40:34.000
<v SPEAKER_00>You're walking your dog.

00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:36.639
<v SPEAKER_01>By the way, we could do that whole breathing thing too while we're walking.

00:40:36.800 --> 00:40:37.119
<v SPEAKER_01>Oh, totally.

00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:37.679
<v SPEAKER_01>If you wanted to.

00:40:37.920 --> 00:40:39.039
<v SPEAKER_01>You could have your arms up over.

00:40:39.280 --> 00:40:39.519
<v SPEAKER_01>Absolutely.

00:40:39.599 --> 00:40:40.000
<v SPEAKER_01>You can do it.

00:40:40.159 --> 00:40:42.559
<v SPEAKER_01>But you don't have to, just you could just breathe and walk, too.

00:40:42.800 --> 00:40:43.119
<v SPEAKER_01>So okay.

00:40:43.440 --> 00:40:52.159
<v SPEAKER_00>So this this next one is more about uh learning how to extend and and lengthen the breath and do some very you know initial breath holding.

00:40:52.320 --> 00:40:55.920
<v SPEAKER_00>So you're breathing in as you're walking, comfortable breath.

00:40:56.000 --> 00:41:03.519
<v SPEAKER_00>You're walking your dog in and out, in and out, and then hold your breath and count how many steps you take during the breath hold.

00:41:03.679 --> 00:41:09.679
<v SPEAKER_00>And then as soon as you say, like take 10 steps and I need to breathe, you come back and you breathe the same breath.

00:41:09.840 --> 00:41:16.880
<v SPEAKER_00>So the goal is you have a rhythm of breathing in and out as you're walking, and then count how many steps you take with a breath hold on the exhale.

00:41:17.199 --> 00:41:19.599
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, so hold on the exhale.

00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:20.079
<v SPEAKER_01>On the exhale.

00:41:20.320 --> 00:41:20.719
<v SPEAKER_01>That's important.

00:41:20.880 --> 00:41:24.400
<v SPEAKER_00>And then your recovery breath has to be the same breath that you came in with.

00:41:24.480 --> 00:41:27.119
<v SPEAKER_00>It can't be like a recovery breath.

00:41:27.280 --> 00:41:32.239
<v SPEAKER_00>And then you keep trying to lengthen, like I did 10 today, and maybe tomorrow I can do 12 or whatever.

00:41:32.480 --> 00:41:39.679
<v SPEAKER_00>Every day you go out there and you become a better breath holder, which means you're better at tolerating CO2 building up, which means you're gonna be calmer.

00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:40.480
<v SPEAKER_00>Free divers.

00:41:40.719 --> 00:41:43.280
<v SPEAKER_00>How do these free divers, what's the record for free diving?

00:41:43.519 --> 00:41:45.280
<v SPEAKER_00>Right now it's like 12 minutes without oxygen.

00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:47.679
<v SPEAKER_00>I thought it was 20 minutes with oxygen.

00:41:47.920 --> 00:41:50.400
<v SPEAKER_00>They would pump oxygen up before they go and then dive down.

00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:50.880
<v SPEAKER_00>Oh, okay.

00:41:50.960 --> 00:41:51.199
<v SPEAKER_01>I didn't know.

00:41:51.440 --> 00:41:54.639
<v SPEAKER_00>But twelve, twelve, just you and me just taking just going off like right now and going in.

00:41:54.880 --> 00:41:56.639
<v SPEAKER_00>And how and they Well, they do a breathe up.

00:41:56.800 --> 00:41:58.000
<v SPEAKER_00>They do a breathe up, yeah.

00:41:58.800 --> 00:42:00.880
<v SPEAKER_00>Like Yeah, they do a lot of deep breathing.

00:42:02.239 --> 00:42:02.400
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

00:42:02.480 --> 00:42:02.639
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

00:42:02.880 --> 00:42:03.119
<v SPEAKER_01>Okay.

00:42:03.199 --> 00:42:07.199
<v SPEAKER_01>So, anyways, but they do this, they train this exact way.

00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:09.199
<v SPEAKER_01>They just keep practicing holding their breath.

00:42:09.440 --> 00:42:09.679
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:13.840
<v SPEAKER_00>They yeah, they practice holding their breath and they practice holding their breath under the water.

00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:14.320
<v SPEAKER_00>Oh yeah.

00:42:14.480 --> 00:42:23.519
<v SPEAKER_00>Well, while they're physically doing and the cool thing about it, when I uh dabble in this free diving world a little bit, and it's dark down there and it's cold and it's scary.

00:42:23.679 --> 00:42:24.000
<v SPEAKER_00>Oh, yeah.

00:42:24.159 --> 00:42:24.400
<v SPEAKER_00>You know?

00:42:24.800 --> 00:42:26.400
<v SPEAKER_00>Your instinct is right?

00:42:26.559 --> 00:42:26.800
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

00:42:26.960 --> 00:42:31.119
<v SPEAKER_00>But what's happening when your CO2 levels are rising, what happens is you get calm.

00:42:31.199 --> 00:42:37.440
<v SPEAKER_00>You're neurologically being told there's no word here because your CO2 levels are telling your body that we're okay.

00:42:37.599 --> 00:42:39.440
<v SPEAKER_00>And that's how they can stay so calm down.

00:42:39.519 --> 00:42:42.079
<v SPEAKER_00>They actually get this neurological calm that comes over them.

00:42:42.159 --> 00:42:44.960
<v SPEAKER_01>It's really fixes anxiety.

00:42:45.199 --> 00:42:45.599
<v SPEAKER_01>Exactly.

00:42:45.840 --> 00:42:46.000
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

00:42:46.159 --> 00:42:46.559
<v SPEAKER_00>Exactly.

00:42:46.800 --> 00:42:47.679
<v SPEAKER_01>Wow, it's amazing.

00:42:47.920 --> 00:42:52.159
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, you said once that CO2 reaches that point, like all anxiety goes away.

00:42:52.320 --> 00:42:54.559
<v SPEAKER_01>And again, I'm reiterating what you said.

00:42:54.639 --> 00:42:57.119
<v SPEAKER_01>That's why bag breathing actually.

00:42:57.280 --> 00:43:00.320
<v SPEAKER_01>I wonder if the masks, like you see these people still wearing masks.

00:43:00.559 --> 00:43:00.719
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

00:43:00.880 --> 00:43:03.360
<v SPEAKER_01>So like masks, like it didn't work for viruses, by the way.

00:43:03.519 --> 00:43:05.360
<v SPEAKER_01>Masks do block viruses.

00:43:05.599 --> 00:43:05.760
<v SPEAKER_01>Okay.

00:43:06.079 --> 00:43:06.880
<v SPEAKER_00>Stupidity here.

00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:08.960
<v SPEAKER_00>It didn't work for anxiety either.

00:43:09.039 --> 00:43:09.920
<v SPEAKER_00>We got more stress.

00:43:10.159 --> 00:43:10.639
<v SPEAKER_00>You know what I mean?

00:43:10.800 --> 00:43:12.079
<v SPEAKER_01>Like, I hated it.

00:43:12.159 --> 00:43:12.320
<v SPEAKER_01>Okay.

00:43:12.559 --> 00:43:16.719
<v SPEAKER_00>I was like, maybe the mask will do one good thing and help people get calm by rebreathing their CO2.

00:43:17.119 --> 00:43:17.679
<v SPEAKER_00>That was my question.

00:43:18.159 --> 00:43:18.639
<v SPEAKER_00>It doesn't work.

00:43:18.880 --> 00:43:21.360
<v SPEAKER_01>Okay, because I was thinking, maybe that's why these people are still doing it.

00:43:21.440 --> 00:43:24.320
<v SPEAKER_01>Maybe they they have less anxiety and they're actually addicted to it.

00:43:24.400 --> 00:43:24.719
<v SPEAKER_01>I don't know.

00:43:25.039 --> 00:43:25.440
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah, I don't know.

00:43:26.079 --> 00:43:28.239
<v SPEAKER_00>I was hoping it would work, but it didn't seem to make it.

00:43:28.639 --> 00:43:30.000
<v SPEAKER_00>People got more stressed than ever.

00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:30.159
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

00:43:30.400 --> 00:43:30.559
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

00:43:30.639 --> 00:43:31.039
<v SPEAKER_01>Oh yeah.

00:43:31.119 --> 00:43:32.400
<v SPEAKER_01>The whole thing was stressful.

00:43:32.559 --> 00:43:33.679
<v SPEAKER_01>But anyway, another story.

00:43:33.920 --> 00:43:39.440
<v SPEAKER_01>But um it was one of those COVID uh bad bad things that like people are still wearing.

00:43:39.840 --> 00:43:47.760
<v SPEAKER_00>You know what's also interesting is long haul COVID, when it first came out, that was directly linked to congestion of the brain's lymphatic and lymphatic systems.

00:43:47.920 --> 00:43:58.880
<v SPEAKER_00>And that's because the diaphragm, when you have COVID, you can't breathe, you lose the cerebral spinal fluid pump, you can't get the trash out of your head, which is which is governing an immune response.

00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:02.320
<v SPEAKER_01>Let me bring your knowledge with my knowledge, right?

00:44:02.400 --> 00:44:02.559
<v SPEAKER_01>Okay.

00:44:02.800 --> 00:44:04.719
<v SPEAKER_01>So um this is amazing.

00:44:04.960 --> 00:44:12.239
<v SPEAKER_01>So we we know that a a lot of these long haulers end up in what is called cellular danger response, which is dysautonomia.

00:44:12.400 --> 00:44:12.719
<v SPEAKER_01>Okay.

00:44:12.880 --> 00:44:15.440
<v SPEAKER_01>Well, who ended up with this?

00:44:15.679 --> 00:44:21.519
<v SPEAKER_01>Well, a lot of people who I say their buckets were already full, meaning very stressed, physical, chemical, and emotional.

00:44:21.679 --> 00:44:21.840
<v SPEAKER_01>Right.

00:44:22.079 --> 00:44:26.000
<v SPEAKER_01>The COVID just became that one more stress and their body didn't adapt to it.

00:44:26.159 --> 00:44:26.239
<v SPEAKER_01>Right.

00:44:26.400 --> 00:44:32.639
<v SPEAKER_01>And it was a foreign virus, you know, man-made virus, I should say, you know, and the body didn't adapt and then they went cellular danger.

00:44:32.719 --> 00:44:35.679
<v SPEAKER_01>And now they're dysautonomic, their thyroid, their adrenals, right?

00:44:35.840 --> 00:44:38.159
<v SPEAKER_01>So that is a lot of what COVID is.

00:44:38.400 --> 00:44:41.119
<v SPEAKER_01>And um, or long haulers, I'm sorry.

00:44:41.440 --> 00:44:43.599
<v SPEAKER_01>So what you're saying is true then.

00:44:43.760 --> 00:44:56.719
<v SPEAKER_01>So if this whole lymphatic system is not draining, if the people that already have block lymph, those are the same people that I'm saying were the people that ended up long haulers, whether they were 30 years old or 80 years old, same people.

00:44:56.880 --> 00:45:03.760
<v SPEAKER_01>So again, if you were doing this technique or learn this technique, you could you could break out, it'll help you break out of this cellular danger response.

00:45:04.159 --> 00:45:07.360
<v SPEAKER_00>Who regulates whether you're in sympathetic or a parasympathetic dominance?

00:45:07.440 --> 00:45:08.239
<v SPEAKER_00>Who's in charge of that?

00:45:08.400 --> 00:45:09.119
<v SPEAKER_00>Your diaphragm.

00:45:09.199 --> 00:45:09.360
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

00:45:09.599 --> 00:45:10.159
<v SPEAKER_00>How you breathe.

00:45:10.480 --> 00:45:11.679
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah, this is this is great.

00:45:11.840 --> 00:45:12.000
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

00:45:12.320 --> 00:45:19.920
<v SPEAKER_00>So you lose that, then you're gonna directly get brain lymphatic congestion, which can be let's say you eat wheat, and oh, I eat terror, I can't eat wheat.

00:45:20.320 --> 00:45:20.960
<v SPEAKER_00>We're gonna talk about this.

00:45:21.119 --> 00:45:21.280
<v SPEAKER_00>Okay.

00:45:21.519 --> 00:45:22.239
<v SPEAKER_00>We're gonna talk about this.

00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:23.679
<v SPEAKER_01>We gotta hang on.

00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:24.159
<v SPEAKER_01>All right.

00:45:24.320 --> 00:45:27.599
<v SPEAKER_01>He's gonna tell you how you can eat wheat and not react, okay?

00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:30.320
<v SPEAKER_01>And we're but we we're gonna get into the diet thing next.

00:45:30.400 --> 00:45:36.079
<v SPEAKER_01>But we'll we have I have to exhaust this whole thing on the breathing because I feel like this is really important for people.

00:45:36.320 --> 00:45:36.639
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, it is.

00:45:36.800 --> 00:45:37.519
<v SPEAKER_01>You know, I do.

00:45:37.679 --> 00:45:42.480
<v SPEAKER_01>I mean, like I said, I mean you've you've made some of the top athletes in the world, you transformed them.

00:45:42.719 --> 00:45:51.280
<v SPEAKER_01>When the first uh Olympic Olympics was in Mexico City, people probably don't realize this, but Mexico City is actually the highest big city in the world.

00:45:51.360 --> 00:45:53.679
<v SPEAKER_01>It's at seven over seven thousand feet.

00:45:53.920 --> 00:45:54.239
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

00:45:54.400 --> 00:46:00.480
<v SPEAKER_01>So a lot of these um athletes, of course, winter athletes train at elevation all the time.

00:46:00.559 --> 00:46:00.719
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:03.920
<v SPEAKER_01>But typically these uh summer athletes don't.

00:46:04.079 --> 00:46:04.880
<v SPEAKER_01>It was shocking.

00:46:04.960 --> 00:46:10.960
<v SPEAKER_01>So kind of tell that story because it was the breather, the people who learned these techniques that actually won all the gold medals.

00:46:11.920 --> 00:46:19.440
<v SPEAKER_00>Opera singer, trainer from New York City, his name is Carl Stau, who was in the latter part of his career at that time.

00:46:19.679 --> 00:46:34.480
<v SPEAKER_00>And he was having such great success teaching people how to breathe and opera singers and people who couldn't breathe, and that the Olympic Committee brought him out to Squaw Valley to train at high altitude for the Mexico City Olympics in 1968, which was like the first time we were at altitude, like you said.

00:46:34.639 --> 00:46:36.719
<v SPEAKER_00>And he taught them how to breathe.

00:46:36.880 --> 00:46:40.000
<v SPEAKER_00>And the key, his whole thing was exhale.

00:46:40.079 --> 00:46:46.880
<v SPEAKER_00>And like I talked, I told you when we did this, you have to breathe out and narrow the rib cage and contract your abdomen.

00:46:47.039 --> 00:46:52.880
<v SPEAKER_00>Now, that Olympics, it was the Summer Olympics with Lee Evans, they won more gold medals in that Olympics than any other time before.

00:46:52.960 --> 00:46:54.800
<v SPEAKER_00>That was one where they had the black gloves on.

00:46:54.880 --> 00:46:56.559
<v SPEAKER_00>That's what people remember that was whole thing.

00:46:56.719 --> 00:46:58.159
<v SPEAKER_00>That was that Olympics.

00:46:58.480 --> 00:47:05.360
<v SPEAKER_00>But Lee Evans said, when I ran the 400 and I won the gold medal, you know what he kept telling himself the entire time?

00:47:05.599 --> 00:47:05.920
<v SPEAKER_00>Exhale.

00:47:06.079 --> 00:47:09.280
<v SPEAKER_00>Exhale, exhale, exhale, exhale, exhale, all the way, exhale.

00:47:09.360 --> 00:47:18.639
<v SPEAKER_00>And that's what we don't do because you see that that lateral breathing technique that I showed you where you have to breathe out to the side, that creates what's called lateral excursion.

00:47:18.719 --> 00:47:21.039
<v SPEAKER_00>So what you can do is put a tape measure around your ribcage.

00:47:21.119 --> 00:47:21.679
<v SPEAKER_00>So watch it.

00:47:21.840 --> 00:47:30.000
<v SPEAKER_00>Breathe all the way out, take a measurement, breathe in, breathe out, breathe in all the way out, and take another measurement out and see what your how open your rib cage gets.

00:47:30.079 --> 00:47:34.079
<v SPEAKER_00>And then start practicing this technique and watch your rib cage get better.

00:47:34.239 --> 00:47:43.920
<v SPEAKER_00>If your rib cage is tight like a cage, when you exhale, your diaphragm relaxes by parachuting up under the rib cage, and that pushes the dead airspace.

00:47:44.079 --> 00:47:48.960
<v SPEAKER_00>It's like 500 milliliters of air out, which for a lot of folks, it never leaves you.

00:47:49.039 --> 00:47:50.800
<v SPEAKER_00>It's just dead airspace.

00:47:50.960 --> 00:47:53.599
<v SPEAKER_00>But when you have a full exhalation, it isn't dead.

00:47:53.760 --> 00:47:59.440
<v SPEAKER_00>You're getting that out and you're getting so much room for new oxygenation of those lower lobes of your lungs.

00:47:59.679 --> 00:48:05.119
<v SPEAKER_00>So that's what that guy, Carl Stout, taught these athletes how to manage high altitude training.

00:48:05.280 --> 00:48:11.840
<v SPEAKER_00>But that's what this lateral breathing is about, is to get their elasticity laterally, like your dog, cat, or horse or baby.

00:48:12.000 --> 00:48:16.159
<v SPEAKER_00>They're breathing and their diaphragm is fully relaxing and it goes up under that rib cage.

00:48:16.239 --> 00:48:18.880
<v SPEAKER_00>But most of us are so rigid here, we don't have that.

00:48:19.039 --> 00:48:20.800
<v SPEAKER_00>So yeah, that's a that's a great story.

00:48:21.039 --> 00:48:27.920
<v SPEAKER_01>I, you know, I think I'm 60 and it's you can feel the more tight joints, right?

00:48:28.000 --> 00:48:30.000
<v SPEAKER_01>It's fibrotic tissue, et cetera, right?

00:48:30.079 --> 00:48:32.639
<v SPEAKER_01>It's like, but um, it doesn't have to be.

00:48:32.719 --> 00:48:40.960
<v SPEAKER_01>I mean, the this this can transform that because really, I mean, that those tissues getting harder, if you will, just you know, simplify that.

00:48:41.039 --> 00:48:43.440
<v SPEAKER_01>Um, really, they're lacking a lot of oxygen.

00:48:43.679 --> 00:48:54.079
<v SPEAKER_00>And that's one of the reasons why it's really good to train yourself to nose breathe, because then you're getting the peronasal nitric oxide production by breathing through your nose, which is, by the way, an antiviral gas.

00:48:54.239 --> 00:49:03.519
<v SPEAKER_00>So you're out talking to people, interacting with people, eating this and that, exposing your lungs and breath and your digestion to a whole bunch of pathogens potentially.

00:49:03.679 --> 00:49:05.679
<v SPEAKER_00>And then you close your mouth when you breathe.

00:49:05.760 --> 00:49:09.280
<v SPEAKER_00>How traditional cultures were trained from babies to do that.

00:49:09.519 --> 00:49:21.920
<v SPEAKER_00>You're breathing in only when you breathe through your nose, the nitric oxide gas, which is the most antiviral gas we have, to give you an immune response to help you not get sick from that exposure you had all day long.

00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:22.239
<v SPEAKER_00>Wow.

00:49:22.400 --> 00:49:23.119
<v SPEAKER_00>It's logical.

00:49:23.440 --> 00:49:27.519
<v SPEAKER_01>I don't think we close the loop on the tape mouth tape.

00:49:27.760 --> 00:49:28.639
<v SPEAKER_00>All right, yeah.

00:49:28.960 --> 00:49:39.280
<v SPEAKER_00>So what I tell my patients to do, and I agree with you, there's underlying pathologies, rigidity of the rib cage, diaphragmic dysfunction, all that has to get better, like with these exercises.

00:49:39.440 --> 00:49:46.639
<v SPEAKER_00>And then give it a go where you take the tape, not like this, you put the tape like this first, where you can still talk and breathe through your.

00:50:02.480 --> 00:50:04.000
<v SPEAKER_00>You don't have to buy some special fancy tape.

00:50:04.239 --> 00:50:06.320
<v SPEAKER_01>Some of them have just a tiny little hole in the middle.

00:50:06.400 --> 00:50:07.519
<v SPEAKER_01>Some of the people are making them.

00:50:07.760 --> 00:50:08.880
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah, you don't need to go there.

00:50:08.960 --> 00:50:11.199
<v SPEAKER_00>You just go your go to the grocery store.

00:50:11.280 --> 00:50:15.440
<v SPEAKER_00>They have a next care uh micro pore tape made by 3M.

00:50:15.519 --> 00:50:17.920
<v SPEAKER_00>It's blue, it's for sensitive skin.

00:50:18.079 --> 00:50:19.199
<v SPEAKER_00>It costs you nothing.

00:50:19.360 --> 00:50:21.920
<v SPEAKER_00>A lot of these smell tapes are like a dollar a night.

00:50:22.000 --> 00:50:22.880
<v SPEAKER_00>You know, that adds up.

00:50:23.119 --> 00:50:23.679
<v SPEAKER_00>That's 30 nights.

00:50:24.000 --> 00:50:24.960
<v SPEAKER_00>That's a lot of, you know.

00:50:25.360 --> 00:50:27.920
<v SPEAKER_00>So you just put it here first and then put it here.

00:50:28.000 --> 00:50:32.159
<v SPEAKER_00>And when you have it here and it's still there in the morning, now you've trained yourself.

00:50:32.400 --> 00:50:39.440
<v SPEAKER_00>If you start waking up in the night with a dry mouth again, now you've lost access to the nose breathing.

00:50:39.519 --> 00:50:48.880
<v SPEAKER_00>And when you dry out your mouth, you kill the bacteria in your mouth that convert the nitrates in your food to nitrites, which makes your nitric oxide.

00:50:48.960 --> 00:50:54.320
<v SPEAKER_00>So we make nitric oxide, that gas that we lose 50% of by age 40, which keeps us young.

00:50:54.480 --> 00:51:03.679
<v SPEAKER_00>We lose that because the bacteria in our mouth are destroyed by mouth breathing at night, fluoride in the water, and mouthwashes and pesticides and preserves in our food.

00:51:04.000 --> 00:51:17.119
<v SPEAKER_00>We're constantly killing bugs that are so critical, take the nitrates in the beets and the arugula, and convert that into nitrites, which can create a global discharge of nitric oxide throughout your whole body.

00:51:17.280 --> 00:51:28.000
<v SPEAKER_00>That is like, and this is why, like in Ayurveda, they were like, uh the first time I saw this, I was in India, it was 1986, and there was a guy taking a bath in a fountain in the middle of the town.

00:51:28.159 --> 00:51:38.239
<v SPEAKER_00>He was just taking a bath, and he was putting oil on his skin, and he put oil in his mouth, and I'm sitting there watching him, and he started swishing the oil around in his mouth and he spit it out.

00:51:38.400 --> 00:51:55.360
<v SPEAKER_00>And now, like it's like 40 years later, we have the science to show that when you put that oil in your mouth, you change the microbiome, you kill the bad bacteria, you spare the good bacteria, and you create an environment for the bugs that make your nitric oxide that convert the nitrates to nitrites.

00:51:55.920 --> 00:51:57.039
<v SPEAKER_00>Tongue scraping increases.

00:51:57.519 --> 00:51:57.840
<v SPEAKER_01>Same thing.

00:51:58.000 --> 00:52:03.519
<v SPEAKER_01>Because it takes out the bad, but it stimulates the bacteria that you need to make nitric oxide.

00:52:03.599 --> 00:52:03.840
<v SPEAKER_01>Right.

00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:09.440
<v SPEAKER_01>And uh you can literally lower blood pressure just by tongue scraping because it's really affecting nitric oxide.

00:52:09.519 --> 00:52:10.639
<v SPEAKER_01>And you're right on the mouthwash.

00:52:10.800 --> 00:52:15.920
<v SPEAKER_01>Mouthwash crushes nitric oxide production, raises blood pressure, even in 20-year-olds.

00:52:16.079 --> 00:52:16.239
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

00:52:16.320 --> 00:52:23.360
<v SPEAKER_00>So tongue scraping with a copper tongue scraper, because copper is antiseptic, and putting some oil in your mouth and sesame oil.

00:52:23.599 --> 00:52:25.280
<v SPEAKER_01>So tongue scrape, then put some good olive oil.

00:52:25.599 --> 00:52:28.719
<v SPEAKER_00>Yep, and switch it, switch it, switch it, and then spit it out after 10 minutes.

00:52:28.800 --> 00:52:30.239
<v SPEAKER_00>And you're going to start seeing some.

00:52:30.719 --> 00:52:32.400
<v SPEAKER_00>I mean, it works good video right there.

00:52:32.719 --> 00:52:43.840
<v SPEAKER_00>Just as well, just as well as the mouthwash for getting rid of the bad bacteria, particularly Streptococcus mutans, which is the one that causes the plaque in the plaque and tartar on your teeth.

00:52:44.000 --> 00:52:48.960
<v SPEAKER_00>But 63% of the plaque in your arteries come from that bacteria.

00:52:49.119 --> 00:52:53.280
<v SPEAKER_00>So though that hard plaque is directly linked to the plaque in your mouth.

00:52:53.440 --> 00:52:58.320
<v SPEAKER_00>So you want to, Aur Veda was all over making sure your mouth is working for you.

00:52:58.480 --> 00:53:04.480
<v SPEAKER_00>They train kids to breathe through their nose, the tongue scrape, oil pull, get, you know, make sure this mouth is really, it's critically important.

00:53:04.719 --> 00:53:10.480
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, people, I never bought into oil pulling, pulling toxins because it really it's measurable, but that that makes sense.

00:53:10.800 --> 00:53:12.239
<v SPEAKER_01>It's affecting the oral microbiome.

00:53:12.559 --> 00:53:12.800
<v SPEAKER_01>Exactly.

00:53:12.880 --> 00:53:13.119
<v SPEAKER_01>The environment.

00:53:13.599 --> 00:53:14.480
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, that makes total sense.

00:53:14.639 --> 00:53:14.719
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

00:53:14.800 --> 00:53:18.559
<v SPEAKER_01>I I always said there's other benefits to it, but I can tell you it's not pulling toxins.

00:53:18.719 --> 00:53:18.800
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

00:53:19.519 --> 00:53:19.760
<v SPEAKER_01>I agree.

00:53:19.840 --> 00:53:22.079
<v SPEAKER_01>They call it pulling for some.

00:53:22.480 --> 00:53:23.360
<v SPEAKER_01>I don't know why they call it that.

00:53:23.599 --> 00:53:25.360
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, that's that's a detox myth.

00:53:25.679 --> 00:53:27.280
<v SPEAKER_01>Anything else on the subject before we leave?

00:53:28.320 --> 00:53:33.440
<v SPEAKER_00>I mean, you know, the the other thing is just, you know, my first book was just about nose breathing when you run.

00:53:33.679 --> 00:53:34.719
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah, what was the name of that book?

00:53:34.960 --> 00:53:35.679
<v SPEAKER_00>Body mind support.

00:53:36.079 --> 00:53:36.719
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah, we don't have that one.

00:53:36.960 --> 00:53:38.719
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah, it's it's about down at the bottom.

00:53:39.119 --> 00:53:39.840
<v SPEAKER_01>So here's the thing.

00:53:40.000 --> 00:53:40.559
<v SPEAKER_01>Oh, yeah, here it is.

00:53:40.639 --> 00:53:41.679
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, body mind support.

00:53:41.760 --> 00:53:42.480
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, right there.

00:53:42.639 --> 00:53:43.280
<v SPEAKER_01>That's the one.

00:53:43.440 --> 00:53:44.400
<v SPEAKER_01>People can still get this.

00:53:44.559 --> 00:53:46.639
<v SPEAKER_01>And it teaches them how to nosebreathe and all that.

00:53:47.039 --> 00:53:47.119
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

00:53:47.440 --> 00:53:48.559
<v SPEAKER_01>So on Amazon, I'm sure.

00:53:48.880 --> 00:53:49.360
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:53:49.599 --> 00:53:56.320
<v SPEAKER_00>What we did with that research that we published, we actually had the kids always telling you about they they went nose breathing to mouth breathing.

00:53:56.480 --> 00:54:00.639
<v SPEAKER_00>And when they mouth breathed, their brain went into a fight or flight beta state.

00:54:00.719 --> 00:54:02.960
<v SPEAKER_00>Their brain waves changed to be stressed out.

00:54:03.199 --> 00:54:14.719
<v SPEAKER_00>They came back the next day and their brain waves, by breathing through their nose, went into a meditative calm alpha wave with brainwave coherence, which means that the whole brain, all different parts of the brain were doing the exact same thing in a calm way.

00:54:14.880 --> 00:54:19.760
<v SPEAKER_00>Like it was like if you were running as fast as you could, but your brain was saying, I'm meditating right now.

00:54:19.920 --> 00:54:22.159
<v SPEAKER_00>It was it was unprecedented finding.

00:54:22.400 --> 00:54:25.440
<v SPEAKER_00>The breath rates when they were mouth breathing was 48 breaths per minute.

00:54:25.599 --> 00:54:31.920
<v SPEAKER_00>Same kids came back the next day, did the same workout, 200 watts of resistance, 14 breaths per minute versus 48.

00:54:32.159 --> 00:54:33.119
<v SPEAKER_00>Wow, that's amazing.

00:54:33.280 --> 00:54:35.119
<v SPEAKER_00>You know, and the research just went on and on and on.

00:54:35.280 --> 00:54:47.840
<v SPEAKER_00>But the point of that was that when you're learning, teaching yourself how to be calm in the middle of exercise stress, you can roll that out of teaching by how to be calm in your daily life stress.

00:54:48.000 --> 00:54:48.639
<v SPEAKER_00>So it's a model.

00:54:49.199 --> 00:54:52.000
<v SPEAKER_01>So learning it in exercise is a really good thing.

00:54:53.039 --> 00:54:54.159
<v SPEAKER_01>I'm going back at it, right?

00:54:54.239 --> 00:55:03.920
<v SPEAKER_01>When I when I cycle, you know, it's like because I was like, I just I mean, like I said, low level, I can easily do it, but it was when it got intense that I get panicked, honestly.

00:55:04.239 --> 00:55:04.400
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

00:55:04.559 --> 00:55:06.000
<v SPEAKER_00>Well, I call it the eye of the storm.

00:55:06.079 --> 00:55:08.320
<v SPEAKER_00>Like the bigger the eye, the bigger the calm.

00:55:09.119 --> 00:55:11.280
<v SPEAKER_00>The bigger the storm, the more powerful the winds.

00:55:11.440 --> 00:55:17.920
<v SPEAKER_00>So you're going to be more effective in your life if you can start, you know, dipping the cloth in the dye of that silence.

00:55:18.000 --> 00:55:19.119
<v SPEAKER_00>Because that's like a law of nature.

00:55:19.199 --> 00:55:24.239
<v SPEAKER_00>I mean, at galaxies, solar systems, atoms, everything spins around a silence center, hurricanes.

00:55:24.480 --> 00:55:28.719
<v SPEAKER_00>We do the same thing, but we get pushed out into the stress and get beat up.

00:55:28.880 --> 00:55:41.679
<v SPEAKER_00>But the whole kind of Vedic thing was, man, our full potential is in this coexistence of opposites, not just being out there beating myself up, see how much I can do, recover the next day, beat myself up again, recover.

00:55:41.920 --> 00:55:44.960
<v SPEAKER_00>You know, as an athlete, you're limited by how much you can do that.

00:55:45.519 --> 00:55:48.239
<v SPEAKER_00>After 20, 30, 40 years of that, you're like, I'm done.

00:55:48.320 --> 00:55:49.199
<v SPEAKER_00>I just want to go for a walk.

00:55:49.440 --> 00:55:54.719
<v SPEAKER_01>Is there any studies on um people that master this and living longer?

00:55:54.880 --> 00:55:58.719
<v SPEAKER_01>I mean, is a level of measure of anti-aging?

00:55:58.960 --> 00:55:59.760
<v SPEAKER_00>That's a great question.

00:55:59.840 --> 00:56:05.039
<v SPEAKER_00>You know, it's it's one of those things where, you know, I haven't been tracking this long enough to see, I'll see how long I live.

00:56:05.119 --> 00:56:05.920
<v SPEAKER_00>I'll tell you when I get there.

00:56:06.000 --> 00:56:07.039
<v SPEAKER_00>But uh how old are you?

00:56:07.199 --> 00:56:08.000
<v SPEAKER_00>Uh 69.

00:56:08.159 --> 00:56:09.039
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, you look great.

00:56:09.199 --> 00:56:09.679
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah, thanks.

00:56:09.840 --> 00:56:10.320
<v SPEAKER_01>It's working.

00:56:10.559 --> 00:56:12.639
<v SPEAKER_00>I mean, I definitely practice it all the time.

00:56:12.719 --> 00:56:25.280
<v SPEAKER_00>And my wife thinks I'm a little nutty, but but you know, I think that doing things that are time-tested that have thousands of years of practice and modern science together, that's what I look that's what I do.

00:56:25.440 --> 00:56:28.559
<v SPEAKER_00>You know, the biohacking world, I love it, but it keeps changing.

00:56:28.880 --> 00:56:41.039
<v SPEAKER_01>And yes, I have a lot of criticism in the biohacking world because of the premise of hormesis, meaning the only reason some of these things work is because it's a great stress and the body adapts to stress.

00:56:41.119 --> 00:56:43.119
<v SPEAKER_01>But if it doesn't, it becomes bad.

00:56:43.199 --> 00:56:46.239
<v SPEAKER_01>And I see people doing a lot of these things and they're not adapting.

00:56:46.320 --> 00:56:46.400
<v SPEAKER_01>Right.

00:56:46.559 --> 00:56:48.639
<v SPEAKER_01>And they're not stacking the hormesis.

00:56:49.360 --> 00:56:49.760
<v SPEAKER_01>Exactly.

00:56:49.840 --> 00:56:52.719
<v SPEAKER_01>And they're not adapting that and they're not listening to their body.

00:56:52.880 --> 00:56:58.000
<v SPEAKER_01>So the next day they're wiped out, fatigue, and they never associate because when they came out of the cold bath, they felt amazing.

00:56:58.079 --> 00:57:03.199
<v SPEAKER_01>Or, you know, I mean, again, it there's a a right amount, right?

00:57:03.440 --> 00:57:05.920
<v SPEAKER_01>Maybe a right temperature, a right time, et cetera.

00:57:06.000 --> 00:57:08.079
<v SPEAKER_01>There's a wrong time, and there's a wrong temperature.

00:57:08.159 --> 00:57:16.239
<v SPEAKER_01>And you know, it's like, and that's the the art of understanding hormesis and listening to your body, but people aren't doing that with a lot of the biohacks.

00:57:16.480 --> 00:57:18.480
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah, there's a little, it's a little trendy.

00:57:18.559 --> 00:57:32.800
<v SPEAKER_00>And when you think about our culture and how super stressed we already are, then we have to really kind of really dial in how much hormesis stress do I really need to where we go from being good to being not good.

00:57:33.119 --> 00:57:33.920
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, no, exactly.

00:57:34.000 --> 00:57:37.199
<v SPEAKER_01>I mean, it it's uh it's like a trained athlete, right?

00:57:37.360 --> 00:57:40.559
<v SPEAKER_01>You you hire a coach to understand that question.

00:57:40.800 --> 00:57:41.119
<v SPEAKER_01>Exactly.

00:57:41.440 --> 00:57:42.559
<v SPEAKER_01>How much do I need, right?

00:57:42.639 --> 00:57:44.480
<v SPEAKER_01>And how do I raise my hormitic ceiling?

00:57:44.559 --> 00:57:50.960
<v SPEAKER_01>Meaning the ability to apply more stress, to apply more improvement, to be faster, faster, smarter, whatever it is.

00:57:51.039 --> 00:57:52.880
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, it's like, you know, healthier.

00:57:53.039 --> 00:58:04.800
<v SPEAKER_01>You know, again, that that's how to do that is times of intensity, times of great rest in perfect diets and these things that allow you to adapt to raise that hormitic ceiling.

00:58:04.960 --> 00:58:08.239
<v SPEAKER_01>The average person with biohags is not paying attention to any of that.

00:58:08.719 --> 00:58:09.440
<v SPEAKER_01>Is more is better.

00:58:09.599 --> 00:58:09.840
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

00:58:09.920 --> 00:58:10.000
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

00:58:10.159 --> 00:58:10.320
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

00:58:10.400 --> 00:58:18.719
<v SPEAKER_01>And again, you know, being in that kind of physical shape is an extraordinary thing for a one race or, you know, a season of races, whatever.

00:58:19.039 --> 00:58:24.079
<v SPEAKER_01>But, you know, the average person, you ask the question, you know, how much of that hormitic stress do we actually need?

00:58:24.320 --> 00:58:28.639
<v SPEAKER_01>To perform at a really high level, I would argue you need uh quite a bit and you better adapt.

00:58:28.880 --> 00:58:29.039
<v SPEAKER_01>Okay.

00:58:29.599 --> 00:58:31.760
<v SPEAKER_01>But to be healthier, I don't know, right?

00:58:31.920 --> 00:58:33.119
<v SPEAKER_01>That's a that's a good question.

00:58:33.280 --> 00:58:33.760
<v SPEAKER_01>How much?

00:58:34.000 --> 00:58:38.559
<v SPEAKER_00>I mean, the stress, the the exercise model has always been stress recover, stress, recover.

00:58:38.719 --> 00:58:42.800
<v SPEAKER_00>The harder you beat yourself up, the more you're going to break your body down to build yourself back up.

00:58:43.119 --> 00:58:44.480
<v SPEAKER_01>But only if you recover.

00:58:44.880 --> 00:58:45.840
<v SPEAKER_00>And that's the point.

00:58:46.079 --> 00:58:52.320
<v SPEAKER_00>You recover, you know, by the time you're 29 or 30, as an athlete, you're washed up for the most part.

00:58:52.639 --> 00:58:52.880
<v SPEAKER_00>True.

00:58:53.119 --> 00:59:01.519
<v SPEAKER_00>So what our culture has done is created, you know, a whole program for exercise based on squeezing world records out of 20-year-olds.

00:59:01.599 --> 00:59:01.679
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

00:59:01.840 --> 00:59:03.440
<v SPEAKER_00>And then they just set them out to pasture.

00:59:03.679 --> 00:59:03.840
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

00:59:03.920 --> 00:59:04.079
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

00:59:04.320 --> 00:59:07.039
<v SPEAKER_01>One of the most devastating things was the whole CrossFit thing, right?

00:59:07.199 --> 00:59:07.280
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

00:59:07.440 --> 00:59:14.880
<v SPEAKER_01>You know, those people were training like 20-year-old athletes, Olympic athletes that had coaches that understand this premise of hormesis, right?

00:59:14.960 --> 00:59:22.320
<v SPEAKER_01>They're going to the cross gym, doing the same thing every time, trying to outdo the next person, wondering why they were getting tendinitis, injury after injury after injury, right?

00:59:22.400 --> 00:59:25.760
<v SPEAKER_01>And fatigue and not sleeping and disaster.

00:59:25.840 --> 00:59:34.559
<v SPEAKER_01>But I I mean, I'm picking on CrossFit, but there's so many things like that, even right now, you know, with the next whatever class, like the riding classes.

00:59:34.639 --> 00:59:36.000
<v SPEAKER_01>What are they, the spinning classes?

00:59:36.159 --> 00:59:38.079
<v SPEAKER_01>I mean, you know, it's it's always going to be the next thing.

00:59:38.159 --> 00:59:39.039
<v SPEAKER_01>That's not going to go away.

00:59:39.280 --> 00:59:52.159
<v SPEAKER_00>So when you learn how to be a nosebreather and you create respiratory efficiency and your brain is responding to a vigorous workout as a meditation, your fight or flight nervous system is not at 100% as it normally would be.

00:59:52.239 --> 00:59:53.119
<v SPEAKER_00>It's at 50%.

00:59:53.679 --> 00:59:58.159
<v SPEAKER_00>Your parasympathetic nervous system during vigorous exercise zeros out normally.

00:59:58.320 --> 01:00:01.039
<v SPEAKER_00>But in our study, it equaled the parasympathetic nervous system.

01:00:01.199 --> 01:00:03.119
<v SPEAKER_01>So your system to adapt goes way higher.

01:00:03.360 --> 01:00:05.920
<v SPEAKER_00>You had the two opposite nervous systems coexisting.

01:00:06.000 --> 01:00:06.960
<v SPEAKER_00>That's the hurricane thing.

01:00:07.119 --> 01:00:07.440
<v SPEAKER_00>That's crazy.

01:00:07.679 --> 01:00:12.960
<v SPEAKER_00>We had the coherence and brainwave of meditation in the calm at the same time.

01:00:13.199 --> 01:00:15.440
<v SPEAKER_00>That's the model we're looking for.

01:00:15.679 --> 01:00:25.039
<v SPEAKER_00>So when you're running and competing next to somebody in our in the perceived exertion study, it was 10 out of 10 for the mouth breathers, which means how do how do you how you know how how do you feel?

01:00:25.360 --> 01:00:28.079
<v SPEAKER_00>A number scale one to 10, 10 being the worst.

01:00:28.400 --> 01:00:31.760
<v SPEAKER_00>Our guys, we're a four out of 10 versus a 10 out of 10.

01:00:31.840 --> 01:00:39.280
<v SPEAKER_00>So if you're competing next to somebody and your brainwave's in alpha, your meditators calm, your sympathetic comparison are coexisting.

01:00:39.360 --> 01:00:53.280
<v SPEAKER_00>So you're not like stressed out or you're completely calm, you're in the eye of the storm, you know, and your perceived exertion is a four versus a 10, like, and you're right next to that person, who's gonna win that race?

01:00:53.440 --> 01:00:55.599
<v SPEAKER_00>So you don't have to break your body down to build yourself up.

01:00:55.920 --> 01:00:56.559
<v SPEAKER_00>That's their old model.

01:01:02.159 --> 01:01:02.480
<v SPEAKER_01>Right.

01:01:02.639 --> 01:01:04.000
<v SPEAKER_01>And it's gonna recover better.

01:01:04.239 --> 01:01:04.400
<v SPEAKER_00>Right.

01:01:04.719 --> 01:01:06.159
<v SPEAKER_00>That's the key, is the recovery.

01:01:06.480 --> 01:01:15.920
<v SPEAKER_00>You know, and so, so yeah, we some of that is gonna be okay, but what's happen what we're what we don't do in the world of athletics is we don't let these kids rest.

01:01:16.079 --> 01:01:23.199
<v SPEAKER_00>I treated trade trained so many really high-level athletes, swimmers, Olympic swimmers who didn't do what their coaches told them all the time.

01:01:23.360 --> 01:01:24.320
<v SPEAKER_00>They were like, I don't do it.

01:01:24.480 --> 01:01:26.719
<v SPEAKER_00>They say I don't, I just try to, I'm fake.

01:01:26.800 --> 01:01:29.519
<v SPEAKER_00>I'm just not if I did what they said, I'd be broken.

01:01:29.679 --> 01:01:29.920
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

01:01:30.079 --> 01:01:30.719
<v SPEAKER_00>That kind of thing.

01:01:31.039 --> 01:01:31.920
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, exactly.

01:01:32.079 --> 01:01:38.000
<v SPEAKER_01>I mean, those unfortunately coaches do not understand these principles that we're talking about.

01:01:38.079 --> 01:01:39.280
<v SPEAKER_01>Really excited.

01:01:39.360 --> 01:01:39.760
<v SPEAKER_01>It's really hard.

01:01:40.000 --> 01:01:40.880
<v SPEAKER_01>It's hard to dial it down.

01:01:41.119 --> 01:01:50.000
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, well, I mean, as a as a cyclist, you know, I was able to train and race at the elite level and still work a full schedule only because I knew how to train.

01:01:50.320 --> 01:02:00.239
<v SPEAKER_01>Like, you know, those times of high intensity were very short, listening to your body, watching your sleep, heart rate, ex all of it to see if you in fact adapted.

01:02:00.639 --> 01:02:04.639
<v SPEAKER_01>And then a lot of time in easy pedaling, right?

01:02:04.960 --> 01:02:11.440
<v SPEAKER_01>And those short time, those short times of intensity, you just watch your body to know if you can push harder for any longer.

01:02:11.599 --> 01:02:13.039
<v SPEAKER_01>But it was all about recovery.

01:02:13.199 --> 01:02:14.719
<v SPEAKER_01>Cyclists seemed like they got it.

01:02:14.880 --> 01:02:17.119
<v SPEAKER_01>I mean, it's like more so than just runners.

01:02:17.199 --> 01:02:17.280
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

01:02:17.440 --> 01:02:19.519
<v SPEAKER_01>Like cyclists really dial that in.

01:02:19.840 --> 01:02:22.159
<v SPEAKER_00>Because there was always, if there was an up, there was always a down.

01:02:22.320 --> 01:02:29.039
<v SPEAKER_00>So it was there was always that opportunity to kind of just give that give the body that recovery, you know, on demand, you know, not all the time, but it was there.

01:02:29.280 --> 01:02:29.599
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

01:02:29.840 --> 01:02:30.079
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

01:02:30.159 --> 01:02:36.320
<v SPEAKER_01>I mean, uh, you know, when you're racing a hundred miles at that level and it's like day, you know, in all these races.

01:02:37.360 --> 01:02:38.000
<v SPEAKER_01>It's brutal.

01:02:38.079 --> 01:02:43.440
<v SPEAKER_01>You have to understand recovery, because in short order, you realize, you know, without recovery, you're done and you're injured.

01:02:43.599 --> 01:02:43.920
<v SPEAKER_01>Okay.

01:02:44.000 --> 01:02:44.320
<v SPEAKER_01>All right.

01:02:44.400 --> 01:02:45.440
<v SPEAKER_01>How do we eat wheat?

01:02:45.599 --> 01:02:46.880
<v SPEAKER_01>People You know, wheat.

01:02:47.119 --> 01:02:52.960
<v SPEAKER_01>I I would say eat ancient wheat and eat uh Italian wheat because people, it's a better wheat.

01:02:53.039 --> 01:02:55.360
<v SPEAKER_01>But you're talking about something very different here.

01:02:55.840 --> 01:02:57.760
<v SPEAKER_00>I'm talking about that too, no doubt about it.

01:02:57.920 --> 01:03:01.039
<v SPEAKER_00>That the wheat that we have today, the glyphosate, we have issues, no doubt.

01:03:01.119 --> 01:03:02.800
<v SPEAKER_00>But that's not the only issue.

01:03:02.960 --> 01:03:05.280
<v SPEAKER_00>The wheat is a canary in the coal mine.

01:03:05.440 --> 01:03:08.480
<v SPEAKER_00>You know, you and I both, when we first got into practice, we told people don't eat wheat.

01:03:08.559 --> 01:03:09.519
<v SPEAKER_00>And they felt better.

01:03:09.679 --> 01:03:12.480
<v SPEAKER_00>And then a month or two later, they come back and the problem came back.

01:03:12.559 --> 01:03:13.840
<v SPEAKER_00>And you say, Oh, now don't eat dairy.

01:03:13.920 --> 01:03:15.519
<v SPEAKER_00>And then don't eat soy, and don't don't eat.

01:03:15.679 --> 01:03:19.599
<v SPEAKER_01>And you I Oh, by the way by the way, now it's plant toxins, now it's lectins, now it's phytox.

01:03:19.679 --> 01:03:22.079
<v SPEAKER_01>And I'm saying, wait a minute, is it plant toxins and phyto?

01:03:22.320 --> 01:03:25.199
<v SPEAKER_01>This these have been in the human diet for eons centuries, right?

01:03:25.360 --> 01:03:30.000
<v SPEAKER_01>Is it the plant toxins or or is it the gut that allows them to go through and make antibodies to it?

01:03:30.320 --> 01:03:31.519
<v SPEAKER_00>No, and I come out of the same mold.

01:03:31.679 --> 01:03:33.039
<v SPEAKER_00>I mean, you know, really, it's really true.

01:03:33.119 --> 01:03:39.119
<v SPEAKER_00>Because the that bubble wrapping in the diet, I call it, is just really you're doing is you're kicking the real problem down the road.

01:03:39.360 --> 01:03:41.440
<v SPEAKER_00>And I'll give you some studies to back that up.

01:03:41.679 --> 01:03:47.199
<v SPEAKER_00>The people, a group of people who ate wheat versus people who didn't eat wheat, they were gluten-free, but they didn't have to be.

01:03:47.360 --> 01:03:53.199
<v SPEAKER_00>The people who ate wheat had four times less mercury in their blood than the people who were gluten-free but didn't have to be.

01:03:53.840 --> 01:03:54.960
<v SPEAKER_01>Okay, sorry, say that one more time.

01:03:55.039 --> 01:04:02.000
<v SPEAKER_00>My brain was the people who ate the wheat had four times less mercury in their blood than the people who were gluten-free but didn't have to be.

01:04:02.079 --> 01:04:02.960
<v SPEAKER_00>They weren't celiac.

01:04:03.199 --> 01:04:03.360
<v SPEAKER_00>All right.

01:04:03.519 --> 01:04:12.639
<v SPEAKER_00>They people who ate wheat had f had significantly more good bugs, less bad bugs, and more killer T cells than the people who were gluten-free but didn't have to be.

01:04:12.880 --> 01:04:14.960
<v SPEAKER_00>You know, in my ebook, there's 600 studies in this.

01:04:15.360 --> 01:04:16.239
<v SPEAKER_01>I I want this study.

01:04:16.400 --> 01:04:16.639
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

01:04:16.800 --> 01:04:16.960
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

01:04:17.199 --> 01:04:23.599
<v SPEAKER_00>I mean, it was just that study is uh there's an article called The Dangers of a Gluten Free Diet, and that study is right in that article there.

01:04:23.760 --> 01:04:26.320
<v SPEAKER_00>But the point is that How do I find that study?

01:04:26.559 --> 01:04:27.599
<v SPEAKER_00>Lifespot.com.

01:04:27.760 --> 01:04:30.320
<v SPEAKER_00>Go to my website, just type in that, and I can send it to you.

01:04:30.480 --> 01:04:30.719
<v SPEAKER_00>Okay.

01:04:30.880 --> 01:04:32.559
<v SPEAKER_00>Um and it's here.

01:04:32.639 --> 01:04:33.119
<v SPEAKER_00>You have that now.

01:04:33.760 --> 01:04:34.079
<v SPEAKER_00>It's in there.

01:04:34.400 --> 01:04:35.039
<v SPEAKER_01>Sorry to interrupt you.

01:04:35.119 --> 01:04:35.599
<v SPEAKER_01>Go ahead.

01:04:35.920 --> 01:04:48.400
<v SPEAKER_00>So the thing is that without asking the problem why I can't eat these foods, and it's not just wheat, like you said, it's nuts, seeds, grains, glycans, lysogens, oxygen, oxygen, yeah, everything.

01:04:48.639 --> 01:04:51.119
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah, we can't continue to go down the road taking stuff out.

01:04:51.199 --> 01:04:51.840
<v SPEAKER_00>There'll be nothing left.

01:04:52.000 --> 01:04:52.159
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

01:04:52.320 --> 01:04:54.159
<v SPEAKER_00>Obviously, that's not the right way to go.

01:04:54.320 --> 01:04:56.159
<v SPEAKER_00>So there was a study, really cool study.

01:04:56.320 --> 01:04:58.159
<v SPEAKER_00>It was a study with Amish kids.

01:04:58.320 --> 01:05:02.639
<v SPEAKER_00>And they have, I don't know if you knew this, but the lowest rates of asthma on the planet.

01:05:02.960 --> 01:05:05.360
<v SPEAKER_00>Autism, other things, yes.

01:05:05.679 --> 01:05:06.400
<v SPEAKER_00>Oh, but maybe that.

01:05:06.480 --> 01:05:08.320
<v SPEAKER_00>But we know they have low asthma.

01:05:08.639 --> 01:05:13.679
<v SPEAKER_00>And their genetic cousins called the Hutterites, they came from Switzerland, same valley, same exact genetic pool.

01:05:13.760 --> 01:05:25.519
<v SPEAKER_00>But when they came here, they became sterile, stainless steel, modern farmer, modern dairy farmers, where the Amish were still, kids were running barefoot in the barns, they had cows as pets, and they had the lowest rates of asthma compared to their genetic cousins.

01:05:25.679 --> 01:05:27.599
<v SPEAKER_01>So they weren't wearing masks during COVID.

01:05:28.320 --> 01:05:29.199
<v SPEAKER_00>I have no idea.

01:05:29.440 --> 01:05:30.800
<v SPEAKER_01>That was a joke, anyway.

01:05:31.280 --> 01:05:32.000
<v SPEAKER_01>Of course they weren't.

01:05:32.159 --> 01:05:33.039
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah, of course they weren't.

01:05:33.119 --> 01:05:34.079
<v SPEAKER_00>I mean, yeah.

01:05:34.480 --> 01:05:36.239
<v SPEAKER_00>This is a really cool pool, right?

01:05:36.320 --> 01:05:40.559
<v SPEAKER_00>You have the highest and lowest rate of asthma on the planet for kids.

01:05:40.800 --> 01:05:53.280
<v SPEAKER_00>They measured the dust in the barn and they found it was the dust in the barn that these kids were running around barefoot in was irritating the respiratory tract, creating a hormetic response to create an immune response against the asthma.

01:05:53.519 --> 01:05:59.760
<v SPEAKER_00>So if you don't eat the harder to digest foods like the lectins, the phytic acids, the goitrous, if you don't eat them, you don't get.

01:06:00.159 --> 01:06:00.639
<v SPEAKER_00>Gut immunity.

01:06:01.280 --> 01:06:02.480
<v SPEAKER_01>How long have I been saying this?

01:06:02.639 --> 01:06:05.119
<v SPEAKER_01>I mean, I've been saying this for eons, man.

01:06:05.280 --> 01:06:08.639
<v SPEAKER_01>It's like, look, they act hermitically, these little plant toxins.

01:06:09.119 --> 01:06:10.079
<v SPEAKER_01>It's like they sound horrible.

01:06:10.159 --> 01:06:11.679
<v SPEAKER_01>Plant toxins, I should stay away from it.

01:06:11.840 --> 01:06:14.960
<v SPEAKER_01>No, you need this stress thing, like the dust in the barn.

01:06:15.199 --> 01:06:15.679
<v SPEAKER_00>Exactly.

01:06:15.840 --> 01:06:34.880
<v SPEAKER_00>So, so this whole book is really about helping people troubleshoot where their digestion broke down and how to fix the whether it be the stomach acid, pancreatic enzymes, you know, uh liver bioflow, the health of your intestinal lining, the the lymphatic system, which starts in your intestinal tract.

01:06:34.960 --> 01:06:40.000
<v SPEAKER_00>There was a really cool study, and we talked about lymph as the longevity fluid in the body.

01:06:40.400 --> 01:06:56.239
<v SPEAKER_00>Study showed that if you don't break down your protein and your fat, your gluten and the fats, the environmental pollutant fats that are everywhere in our atmosphere, if you don't break them down completely, they will be too big, and I'm quoting the study now, too big to get into your blood and nourish you.

01:06:56.400 --> 01:07:11.039
<v SPEAKER_00>They'll get uptaken into the collecting ducts of your lymphatic system in your intestinal tract, and they'll irritate the lining of your gut, create inflammation in your gut, cause compromise in the gut immunity, and store extra fat around your hips and your and your waist and your belly.

01:07:11.199 --> 01:07:21.920
<v SPEAKER_00>And that creates over time a systemic lymphatic congestion, which is linked to cognitive decline and tiredness and lethargy and immune issues and skin rashes and brain fog and food comas.

01:07:22.239 --> 01:07:25.440
<v SPEAKER_00>All this stuff comes because you didn't digest your food well, you know?

01:07:25.599 --> 01:07:33.280
<v SPEAKER_00>And that so Ayurveda was like thousands of years ago, they said 85% of all disease comes from a poor digestion.

01:07:33.679 --> 01:07:42.719
<v SPEAKER_00>And we just don't, who do you hear talk about fixing how to actually fix your digestion with foods and herbs and different things to reboot the function of your stomach acid, bioflow, pancreat.

01:07:42.960 --> 01:07:45.840
<v SPEAKER_00>You know, that's the key where what we're always told to do is what?

01:07:45.920 --> 01:07:46.639
<v SPEAKER_00>Take it out of the diet.

01:07:46.719 --> 01:07:48.480
<v SPEAKER_00>Now blame the food, blame the food.

01:07:48.639 --> 01:07:51.280
<v SPEAKER_00>I get the pesticide thing, I get the glyphosate thing.

01:07:51.440 --> 01:07:55.599
<v SPEAKER_00>But when you digest your food, there's enzymes that we have that can break down glyphosate.

01:07:55.840 --> 01:08:02.079
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, I mean, a microbiome, I mean, there's certain bacteria that we know break down these chemicals very well, right?

01:08:02.159 --> 01:08:06.719
<v SPEAKER_01>But when we decimate those, right, um then now you you're not breaking it down.

01:08:07.039 --> 01:08:08.000
<v SPEAKER_00>There's another cool study.

01:08:08.079 --> 01:08:12.960
<v SPEAKER_00>It was done in in in uh Arizona and New Mexico, and they went into museums.

01:08:13.039 --> 01:08:18.000
<v SPEAKER_00>They had mummies, like old Native Americans that were a thousand years old, and they measured their microbiome.

01:08:18.159 --> 01:08:19.520
<v SPEAKER_00>They figured out a way to do that.

01:08:19.760 --> 01:08:21.439
<v SPEAKER_00>And they compared it to us.

01:08:21.760 --> 01:08:27.359
<v SPEAKER_00>And the diversity that they had a thousand years ago was so much more robust than what we have.

01:08:27.600 --> 01:08:38.000
<v SPEAKER_00>They literally called that lack of diversity an extinction event, which is why we have to also eat, you know, foods that are whole, alive, not sprayed, you know, in season.

01:08:38.159 --> 01:08:42.640
<v SPEAKER_00>All these things really help create a more diverse and robust microbiome.

01:08:42.960 --> 01:08:43.920
<v SPEAKER_01>You know, exactly.

01:08:44.000 --> 01:08:57.039
<v SPEAKER_01>And, you know, one of the things that I've taught forever is how to really increase diversity if it were only so, and and by the way, diversity of the microbiome is the key to health, right?

01:08:57.119 --> 01:09:00.319
<v SPEAKER_01>I I mean it it's the brain works better, the immune system is better.

01:09:00.560 --> 01:09:05.359
<v SPEAKER_01>And when we look at all these microbiome tests, a lot of them are very inaccurate, different things, right?

01:09:05.520 --> 01:09:08.960
<v SPEAKER_01>You could test it two days later, and it would look different than it looks today, right?

01:09:09.119 --> 01:09:14.880
<v SPEAKER_01>So looking at someone's microbiome and being able to tell them with diet eat, what you can eat is like I don't buy into any of it.

01:09:15.119 --> 01:09:15.680
<v SPEAKER_01>We're not there yet.

01:09:16.079 --> 01:09:16.800
<v SPEAKER_01>We're not there yet.

01:09:16.960 --> 01:09:17.359
<v SPEAKER_01>Exactly.

01:09:17.520 --> 01:09:20.479
<v SPEAKER_01>And it's because the microbiome can change very rapidly, too.

01:09:20.880 --> 01:09:23.920
<v SPEAKER_01>So, but diversity is pretty accurate.

01:09:24.079 --> 01:09:29.760
<v SPEAKER_01>When you look at someone healthy versus someone not healthy, you see diversity, non-diversity.

01:09:29.920 --> 01:09:31.600
<v SPEAKER_01>Like that's the thing that's pretty darn.

01:09:31.920 --> 01:09:37.359
<v SPEAKER_01>I mean, even if you find different stuff, they'll carry diversity even with different microbes, right?

01:09:37.680 --> 01:09:41.039
<v SPEAKER_01>But that how do we increase diversity becomes the question.

01:09:41.199 --> 01:09:45.039
<v SPEAKER_01>Many people are under the impression they can just take probiotics to increase diversity.

01:09:45.199 --> 01:09:50.399
<v SPEAKER_01>And I'm not against uh probiotics by any means, but it's not so simple to create this diversity.

01:09:51.199 --> 01:09:55.680
<v SPEAKER_01>Diet change, lectins, these stressors that we're talking about.

01:09:55.760 --> 01:10:06.960
<v SPEAKER_01>And every time you're forced to change a diet seasonally, purposely, you actually stress the microbiome and you actually cause a diversity.

01:10:07.119 --> 01:10:15.520
<v SPEAKER_01>So, for example, if someone goes into a carnivore diet because for whatever reason, right, ancient cultures would go into a carnivore diet because that's all they had, perhaps, right?

01:10:15.680 --> 01:10:15.840
<v SPEAKER_01>Right.

01:10:16.079 --> 01:10:25.840
<v SPEAKER_01>Um, and certain microbes literally have to raise up to digest all that meat and fat, meaning you have a change in the bacteria in your gut.

01:10:26.079 --> 01:10:32.880
<v SPEAKER_01>Oh, and now you have berries and all this stuff, and you found all these new foods or something happened, uh, you know, the environment changed.

01:10:33.039 --> 01:10:36.560
<v SPEAKER_01>Now all of a sudden you're eating all this different diet because you have these foods.

01:10:36.640 --> 01:10:38.000
<v SPEAKER_01>Guess what happens to your microbiome?

01:10:38.079 --> 01:10:39.760
<v SPEAKER_01>It has to massively change.

01:10:40.079 --> 01:10:43.840
<v SPEAKER_01>So today we eat the same eight foods all the time.

01:10:44.000 --> 01:10:47.359
<v SPEAKER_01>You end up monoculturing your diversity goes like this.

01:10:47.520 --> 01:10:47.760
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

01:10:47.920 --> 01:10:51.920
<v SPEAKER_01>But the more diet change you have, the more diversity, the healthier you become.

01:10:52.079 --> 01:11:02.720
<v SPEAKER_00>And that's what that's what um they found at the Stanford study they did, and they looked at the uh the gut microbiome of a hunter-gatherer tribe.

01:11:02.880 --> 01:11:06.720
<v SPEAKER_00>And they produced in the springtime a different set of bugs than they had in the fall.

01:11:06.880 --> 01:11:07.119
<v SPEAKER_00>Of course.

01:11:07.359 --> 01:11:10.720
<v SPEAKER_00>In the spring, it was actinobacteria for getting fat as fuel.

01:11:10.880 --> 01:11:17.520
<v SPEAKER_00>In the summer, when all the carbohydrates and starches were being harvested, they had bacteria deeds, which were delivering sugar as fuel.

01:11:17.680 --> 01:11:22.159
<v SPEAKER_00>So in nature, the seasons provide a harvest.

01:11:22.319 --> 01:11:22.479
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

01:11:22.800 --> 01:11:29.920
<v SPEAKER_00>And the harvest is sort of providing us with an antidote to the extreme quality of that season.

01:11:30.079 --> 01:11:36.000
<v SPEAKER_00>So in the cold, dry winter months, you get a high protein, high-fat nuts and a seed diet that's the squirrels are eating right now.

01:11:36.239 --> 01:11:39.039
<v SPEAKER_00>In the springtime, it's a very austere time.

01:11:39.119 --> 01:11:41.039
<v SPEAKER_00>There's nothing coming out of the ground, not much.

01:11:41.279 --> 01:11:44.960
<v SPEAKER_00>You know, some bitter roots, it's a low carbohydrate time of the year.

01:11:45.039 --> 01:11:49.119
<v SPEAKER_00>You're gonna force the body to burn fat, its own fat, detoxify in the spring.

01:11:49.199 --> 01:11:52.960
<v SPEAKER_00>The bugs in the gut change of support and prove that concept.

01:11:53.119 --> 01:11:56.159
<v SPEAKER_00>Then come summer, you get the high carbohydrate diet because that's when it's there.

01:11:56.239 --> 01:11:59.439
<v SPEAKER_00>It's the the nutritional cycle is an annual cycle.

01:11:59.920 --> 01:12:02.239
<v SPEAKER_01>You just described the three-season diet, right?

01:12:02.560 --> 01:12:03.039
<v SPEAKER_01>Three harvests.

01:12:03.199 --> 01:12:03.279
<v SPEAKER_01>Yes.

01:12:03.520 --> 01:12:06.479
<v SPEAKER_01>I mean, and and I would argue fall would be the best time to eat grain, right?

01:12:06.560 --> 01:12:09.119
<v SPEAKER_01>That's that's your uh comes from the ground.

01:12:09.439 --> 01:12:15.920
<v SPEAKER_00>In fact, we started creating our own amylase in the human body about two million years ago.

01:12:16.239 --> 01:12:22.399
<v SPEAKER_00>More than likely, you start creating an enzyme on your own for starch because you were eating some starch.

01:12:22.720 --> 01:12:29.119
<v SPEAKER_00>And today, to this day, you and I make more amylase in the fall than we do in the spring.

01:12:29.359 --> 01:12:29.920
<v SPEAKER_00>That's cool.

01:12:30.159 --> 01:12:30.399
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

01:12:30.479 --> 01:12:30.640
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

01:12:30.880 --> 01:12:31.199
<v SPEAKER_00>Very cool.

01:12:31.279 --> 01:12:33.279
<v SPEAKER_00>We're seasonal beings, we're circadian beings.

01:12:33.359 --> 01:12:35.840
<v SPEAKER_00>We still are, even though we try not to act like them, we still are.

01:12:36.079 --> 01:12:36.319
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

01:12:36.479 --> 01:12:37.199
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, that's cool.

01:12:37.359 --> 01:12:50.560
<v SPEAKER_01>And and like you said, so uh by this following the seasons, the problem today is that we have refrigerators and we can eat foods, we can eat fruit in the winter.

01:12:50.640 --> 01:12:50.880
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

01:12:51.039 --> 01:12:59.840
<v SPEAKER_01>I mean, the first time in human history, uh, you know, whatever this, you know, refrigeration started in the last hundred years, you know, whatever it is, but we can not eat seasonally.

01:12:59.920 --> 01:13:01.680
<v SPEAKER_01>And there's a consequence to that.

01:13:01.840 --> 01:13:03.680
<v SPEAKER_01>You know, I've said it for many years.

01:13:03.920 --> 01:13:09.359
<v SPEAKER_01>So following the seasons is a way to vary your diet, increases your diversity.

01:13:09.520 --> 01:13:09.680
<v SPEAKER_01>Right.

01:13:09.840 --> 01:13:12.079
<v SPEAKER_01>And like you said, you have the very things.

01:13:12.159 --> 01:13:26.239
<v SPEAKER_01>I bet you even the sun has something to do with what the body knows, where the sun's positioned, your body knows because your eyes know it, picks it up, and it'll produce a certain bacteria at certain times, increase that diversity.

01:13:26.479 --> 01:13:27.520
<v SPEAKER_01>That's amazing, man.

01:13:27.760 --> 01:13:32.319
<v SPEAKER_00>The frequencies of light dramatically change from sunrise to sunset.

01:13:32.640 --> 01:13:39.359
<v SPEAKER_00>And they dramatically change from spring all the way around till because it's the angle of the light, and your eyes know that.

01:13:39.439 --> 01:13:39.680
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

01:13:39.920 --> 01:13:40.640
<v SPEAKER_00>It knows the season.

01:13:40.960 --> 01:13:41.199
<v SPEAKER_00>100%.

01:13:41.439 --> 01:13:41.520
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

01:13:41.600 --> 01:13:42.239
<v SPEAKER_00>I mean, this isn't a lot of fun.

01:13:42.399 --> 01:13:44.960
<v SPEAKER_00>And just the time of sunlight, the times change.

01:13:45.119 --> 01:13:47.359
<v SPEAKER_00>Our body is so smart and so intelligent.

01:13:47.520 --> 01:13:50.800
<v SPEAKER_00>We do everything we can to sort of overrule that intelligence.

01:13:51.039 --> 01:13:52.239
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, it really is.

01:13:52.560 --> 01:14:02.800
<v SPEAKER_01>But it's it's really hard to eat today in the seasons because you go in, here you are in January, and you go and you look at these nice, beautifully ripe fruits, you're going to reach for them.

01:14:02.960 --> 01:14:05.680
<v SPEAKER_01>So I sympathize with how hard it is.

01:14:05.840 --> 01:14:07.760
<v SPEAKER_01>You go to a restaurant, they're carrying this.

01:14:08.079 --> 01:14:11.199
<v SPEAKER_01>I mean, the restaurants aren't changing their food spring, fall, winter.

01:14:11.439 --> 01:14:14.880
<v SPEAKER_01>I mean, if you go to a really good restaurant, farm to table, of course they are.

01:14:14.960 --> 01:14:15.199
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

01:14:15.279 --> 01:14:20.800
<v SPEAKER_01>You know, but yeah, you could still find something on the diet or something on the menu that's uh not seasonal.

01:14:21.119 --> 01:14:34.560
<v SPEAKER_00>So what Ayurveda did, which I think is really cool, and we have that in the book, is that we have grocery lists that take the foods that have all the winter qualities, like nuts and seeds and soups and stews for the winter, that are on one grocery list.

01:14:34.640 --> 01:14:41.439
<v SPEAKER_00>And all you gotta do is take that grocery list in the winter, circle the foods on there that you like, and just eat more of those foods in that season.

01:14:41.600 --> 01:14:43.039
<v SPEAKER_00>Doesn't mean you have to only eat that.

01:14:43.199 --> 01:14:43.359
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

01:14:43.920 --> 01:14:48.239
<v SPEAKER_00>You just want to get the right bugs in a medicinal dose for that season.

01:14:48.319 --> 01:14:50.880
<v SPEAKER_00>And you can get those grocery lists for free on my website.

01:14:50.960 --> 01:14:53.359
<v SPEAKER_00>You can go to lifespot.com and get it's right up there.

01:14:54.479 --> 01:14:56.800
<v SPEAKER_00>There's a banner that says, you know, new here, start here.

01:14:56.960 --> 01:14:59.760
<v SPEAKER_00>Click on that, and those grocery lists are right there for you for free.

01:14:59.840 --> 01:15:01.439
<v SPEAKER_00>Just download them, take them to the grocery store.

01:15:01.600 --> 01:15:02.399
<v SPEAKER_00>No, they're really simple.

01:15:02.800 --> 01:15:04.000
<v SPEAKER_01>And that's super helpful, right?

01:15:04.159 --> 01:15:06.239
<v SPEAKER_01>And so again, uh the three-season diet.

01:15:06.319 --> 01:15:06.960
<v SPEAKER_01>Why three?

01:15:07.199 --> 01:15:08.319
<v SPEAKER_00>There's four seasons.

01:15:08.479 --> 01:15:16.640
<v SPEAKER_00>Obviously, people think I didn't quite get that, but there's three harvests there's a spring harvest, a summer harvest, and a fall harvest, and one season is dormant.

01:15:16.800 --> 01:15:17.920
<v SPEAKER_00>Nature is always taking a rest.

01:15:18.000 --> 01:15:20.000
<v SPEAKER_00>Nature's based on cycles of rest and activity.

01:15:20.159 --> 01:15:30.800
<v SPEAKER_00>So there's three harvests that we have to interact with, and that's why you do have a spring grocery list, summer grocery list, and a and a and a um fall grocery list for or or a winter grocery list, a spring grocery list.

01:15:31.279 --> 01:15:31.760
<v SPEAKER_00>It's pretty easy.

01:15:32.000 --> 01:15:37.840
<v SPEAKER_01>I mean, you know, coming out of winter, um, obviously ancient tribes ate a lot of meat and fat during the winter, right?

01:15:38.319 --> 01:15:38.560
<v SPEAKER_01>Had to.

01:15:38.800 --> 01:15:39.439
<v SPEAKER_01>Because they had to.

01:15:39.520 --> 01:15:39.840
<v SPEAKER_01>That's it.

01:15:40.000 --> 01:15:42.800
<v SPEAKER_01>They made me some fermented dairies because it lasted through 100%.

01:15:43.600 --> 01:15:46.960
<v SPEAKER_01>And then uh in the spring, obviously very low carb.

01:15:47.039 --> 01:15:50.239
<v SPEAKER_01>Uh, you might have had a little bit of berries, but berries are low carb fruit, right?

01:15:50.399 --> 01:15:52.880
<v SPEAKER_01>It's like, but then none of your other fruits were available.

01:15:53.359 --> 01:15:54.880
<v SPEAKER_01>Calorie restriction because there was the nothing count.

01:15:55.199 --> 01:15:55.760
<v SPEAKER_01>Calie restriction.

01:15:55.920 --> 01:15:58.479
<v SPEAKER_01>I always say, you know, that's just fasting spring.

01:15:58.640 --> 01:15:58.720
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

01:15:59.279 --> 01:16:00.399
<v SPEAKER_01>Um the culture, right?

01:16:00.560 --> 01:16:02.000
<v SPEAKER_01>The the who was it?

01:16:02.079 --> 01:16:02.800
<v SPEAKER_01>What was the culture?

01:16:02.880 --> 01:16:06.560
<v SPEAKER_01>The um they called a fasting spring, the one of the longest living cultures.

01:16:06.720 --> 01:16:08.960
<v SPEAKER_01>Um not pulling the name, a tribe.

01:16:09.119 --> 01:16:16.239
<v SPEAKER_01>Anyways, they they coined fasting spring because they would come out of winter, they would literally run out of food and and and fast.

01:16:16.560 --> 01:16:21.439
<v SPEAKER_01>So my thing is always um training people on fasting is fast at least once a year.

01:16:21.600 --> 01:16:22.560
<v SPEAKER_01>Spring is the best time.

01:16:22.720 --> 01:16:22.960
<v SPEAKER_01>Exactly.

01:16:23.199 --> 01:16:23.760
<v SPEAKER_01>Fasting spring.

01:16:23.920 --> 01:16:24.159
<v SPEAKER_01>100%.

01:16:24.560 --> 01:16:25.760
<v SPEAKER_01>You know, so you run out of food.

01:16:25.840 --> 01:16:29.439
<v SPEAKER_01>You now you're forcing your body to burn up a lot of the fat.

01:16:29.520 --> 01:16:31.840
<v SPEAKER_01>And uh here you are low carb into summer.

01:16:31.920 --> 01:16:32.880
<v SPEAKER_01>Here come the fruits.

01:16:33.279 --> 01:16:33.840
<v SPEAKER_01>And carbs.

01:16:34.159 --> 01:16:34.800
<v SPEAKER_01>Higher carbs.

01:16:35.199 --> 01:16:36.479
<v SPEAKER_00>Long days, enjoy more energy.

01:16:36.560 --> 01:16:37.039
<v SPEAKER_00>You need carbs.

01:16:37.119 --> 01:16:38.000
<v SPEAKER_01>Energy is carbs, energy.

01:16:38.159 --> 01:16:38.399
<v SPEAKER_01>Absolutely.

01:16:38.560 --> 01:16:39.199
<v SPEAKER_01>So that's when you need it.

01:16:39.439 --> 01:16:40.159
<v SPEAKER_01>Enjoy it, right?

01:16:40.239 --> 01:16:41.680
<v SPEAKER_01>And then here comes fall.

01:16:41.760 --> 01:16:43.439
<v SPEAKER_01>Enjoy the grain, enjoy the harvest.

01:16:43.520 --> 01:16:43.840
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

01:16:43.920 --> 01:16:44.479
<v SPEAKER_01>Um, right.

01:16:44.560 --> 01:16:46.159
<v SPEAKER_01>So, I mean, it's pretty darn easy.

01:16:46.319 --> 01:16:46.479
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

01:16:46.640 --> 01:16:56.640
<v SPEAKER_00>And also what's neat about like in the summer, at the end of the summer, all the super cooling foods are harvested, like the apples and the watermelons and and things that are going to really cool your body down.

01:16:56.720 --> 01:17:01.119
<v SPEAKER_00>So at the end of the summer, this is an Ayurvedic concept, the body will build up heat.

01:17:01.279 --> 01:17:07.840
<v SPEAKER_00>I don't know if you notice, but in August, it seems a lot hotter in this August and September than it is in June, right?

01:17:07.920 --> 01:17:09.760
<v SPEAKER_00>And June is when the solstice happens.

01:17:09.840 --> 01:17:14.560
<v SPEAKER_00>So the sun's going south, and it's still getting hot and getting way hotter in September than in June.

01:17:14.720 --> 01:17:16.239
<v SPEAKER_00>So it's called thermal accumulation.

01:17:16.479 --> 01:17:17.920
<v SPEAKER_00>It's our perception of that.

01:17:18.239 --> 01:17:18.479
<v SPEAKER_00>Right.

01:17:18.800 --> 01:17:21.840
<v SPEAKER_00>So nature provided foods that will create purgation.

01:17:21.920 --> 01:17:30.479
<v SPEAKER_00>Like if you walk, go to apple country, they all go around eating apple pie, apples, apple cider, apple, everything, and they have loose stools for the month of October.

01:17:30.800 --> 01:17:33.279
<v SPEAKER_00>And that purgation gets rid of the heat.

01:17:33.520 --> 01:17:34.000
<v SPEAKER_00>I didn't know this.

01:17:34.159 --> 01:17:36.960
<v SPEAKER_00>Like if a baby has a fever, they get loose bowel movements as well.

01:17:37.119 --> 01:17:39.600
<v SPEAKER_00>The body's way of getting rid of heat is to get loose bowel movements.

01:17:39.840 --> 01:17:43.600
<v SPEAKER_00>So nature is going to give you a whole bunch of loose stool-making foods.

01:17:43.680 --> 01:17:53.840
<v SPEAKER_00>That's why the bears are scatting berries all along the trail because you're eating all this fruit and berries and whatever, and there it creates a looser stool and they're pooping it out.

01:17:54.159 --> 01:17:55.600
<v SPEAKER_00>The plant got the seeds spread.

01:17:55.680 --> 01:17:56.720
<v SPEAKER_00>That was its goal.

01:17:56.960 --> 01:18:00.800
<v SPEAKER_00>But the bear got that all that excess heat out of its body.

01:18:00.880 --> 01:18:07.359
<v SPEAKER_00>So as it goes into the winter, that hot summer doesn't turn into a dry, because heat dries you out.

01:18:07.680 --> 01:18:15.920
<v SPEAKER_00>If you go into winter hot and dry, the winter's going to take care of the the heat is going to get better from the cold of winter.

01:18:16.079 --> 01:18:20.319
<v SPEAKER_00>But summer's dry and winter's dry, and what accumulates is dryness.

01:18:20.479 --> 01:18:21.760
<v SPEAKER_00>Now we're back to the longevity.

01:18:22.000 --> 01:18:24.079
<v SPEAKER_00>Our body dries out and hardens up.

01:18:24.319 --> 01:18:28.079
<v SPEAKER_00>And how did nature have a plan to get the antidote, that tendency to get hard and dry?

01:18:28.159 --> 01:18:33.199
<v SPEAKER_00>And when your mucous membranes get dried out, they don't function for an immune event the way they should.

01:18:33.359 --> 01:18:34.399
<v SPEAKER_00>You get a cold in the winter.

01:18:34.560 --> 01:18:36.239
<v SPEAKER_00>Immunity is compromised in the winter.

01:18:36.399 --> 01:18:40.479
<v SPEAKER_00>So these are all like super logical things, but that seasonal food is the antidote.

01:18:40.640 --> 01:18:41.119
<v SPEAKER_00>That's the idea.

01:18:41.439 --> 01:18:42.960
<v SPEAKER_01>And here's what we do, right?

01:18:43.199 --> 01:18:45.520
<v SPEAKER_01>And uh sugar season, right?

01:18:45.600 --> 01:18:47.520
<v SPEAKER_01>We start with Halloween, which I hate.

01:18:47.680 --> 01:18:48.479
<v SPEAKER_01>And here we go.

01:18:48.640 --> 01:18:50.640
<v SPEAKER_01>We start eating candy, so we get a little addicted.

01:18:50.720 --> 01:18:52.399
<v SPEAKER_01>Oh, then we go into Thanksgiving, right?

01:18:52.479 --> 01:18:54.640
<v SPEAKER_01>And now we're eating all the sugar and all the bad foods.

01:18:54.800 --> 01:18:57.520
<v SPEAKER_01>And then we go into Christmas, and now it's all the sugar cookies, right?

01:18:57.600 --> 01:18:58.560
<v SPEAKER_01>It's cookie season.

01:18:58.640 --> 01:19:04.399
<v SPEAKER_01>And then we go into uh alcohol season with, you know, and then but we call it flu season.

01:19:04.720 --> 01:19:06.000
<v SPEAKER_01>No, it's sugar season.

01:19:06.960 --> 01:19:07.760
<v SPEAKER_01>It's sugar season.

01:19:07.840 --> 01:19:16.079
<v SPEAKER_01>And then what you're saying is, you know, we're coming out and we're drying up because you know, we're we're not eating the right foods to naturally cool us.

01:19:16.239 --> 01:19:18.560
<v SPEAKER_01>So it sets us up for even a more bad immunity.

01:19:18.880 --> 01:19:22.239
<v SPEAKER_00>Nature did have a plan and we tend to have ignored the thought, right?

01:19:22.479 --> 01:19:25.520
<v SPEAKER_01>So now we have to come in with man's wisdom and take theraplu.

01:19:25.760 --> 01:19:26.159
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

01:19:26.399 --> 01:19:31.680
<v SPEAKER_01>You know, or just listen to, you know, what nature, God's given us in nature.

01:19:31.760 --> 01:19:31.840
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

01:19:32.079 --> 01:19:33.119
<v SPEAKER_00>And I'm not talking about this stuff.

01:19:33.199 --> 01:19:44.159
<v SPEAKER_00>And I was just in the grocery store because we were leaving for the weekend and I was going, we were getting some groceries for the kids, but my daughter was coming out from college, and and I was we're going through the grocery store and I was looking at everything.

01:19:44.319 --> 01:19:51.279
<v SPEAKER_00>There wasn't like one aisle in the grocery store that I looked at that I said, you know, that would actually be healthy for you to eat.

01:19:51.439 --> 01:19:55.359
<v SPEAKER_00>It was just really surprising that because I I don't eat, I'm not a purist.

01:19:55.520 --> 01:19:57.680
<v SPEAKER_00>I eat wheat and dairy and things like that.

01:19:58.000 --> 01:19:58.880
<v SPEAKER_01>I I eat wheat too.

01:19:58.960 --> 01:19:59.279
<v SPEAKER_01>I do.

01:19:59.359 --> 01:20:01.439
<v SPEAKER_01>I mean, I I I eat Italian wheat.

01:20:01.520 --> 01:20:04.479
<v SPEAKER_01>I have my restaurants that only get their wheat from Italy, right?

01:20:04.560 --> 01:20:06.159
<v SPEAKER_01>It's uh it's a better wheat.

01:20:06.319 --> 01:20:12.560
<v SPEAKER_01>You know, I I wish I could say I only eat wheat in the the fall, but I'd be lying.

01:20:12.640 --> 01:20:13.520
<v SPEAKER_01>I I'm Italian.

01:20:13.600 --> 01:20:15.920
<v SPEAKER_00>I kind of like it's that's the that's the point of this.

01:20:16.000 --> 01:20:17.199
<v SPEAKER_00>It's not about all or nothing.

01:20:17.279 --> 01:20:18.079
<v SPEAKER_01>It's about emphasize.

01:20:18.399 --> 01:20:19.119
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, emphasize.

01:20:19.279 --> 01:20:20.640
<v SPEAKER_01>I I think you make that clear.

01:20:20.880 --> 01:20:21.039
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

01:20:21.199 --> 01:20:21.920
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, exactly.

01:20:22.000 --> 01:20:23.039
<v SPEAKER_01>And that is what I do.

01:20:23.119 --> 01:20:30.880
<v SPEAKER_01>I mean, yeah, because it it starts with a consciousness, you know, of just the recognizing it and and then you're you're you'll develop a habit.

01:20:30.960 --> 01:20:35.439
<v SPEAKER_01>You do this for one season, watch how your health changes, but uh, you know, it becomes a habit.

01:20:35.600 --> 01:20:40.560
<v SPEAKER_01>You know, diet variation, I again, I I'm dealing with sick people typically, right?

01:20:40.640 --> 01:20:42.560
<v SPEAKER_01>And we have to increase their diversity.

01:20:42.640 --> 01:20:45.119
<v SPEAKER_01>But when you change their diets, it's magic.

01:20:45.279 --> 01:20:47.119
<v SPEAKER_01>I mean, it really is for multiple reasons.

01:20:47.279 --> 01:20:49.760
<v SPEAKER_01>Then when you follow the seasons, it's even more magical.

01:20:49.920 --> 01:20:50.079
<v SPEAKER_00>Yeah.

01:20:50.159 --> 01:20:52.800
<v SPEAKER_00>And you teach me how to breathe, it's game changing.

01:20:52.960 --> 01:20:53.600
<v SPEAKER_00>It's a game changer.

01:20:53.760 --> 01:20:54.800
<v SPEAKER_00>Because no one, no one knows that.

01:20:54.880 --> 01:20:56.960
<v SPEAKER_00>I mean, everybody's walking around, shall I?

01:20:57.039 --> 01:20:59.920
<v SPEAKER_00>Because the world is stressful and we breathe in a stressful way.

01:21:00.079 --> 01:21:00.399
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

01:21:00.720 --> 01:21:08.720
<v SPEAKER_01>Listen, if you don't take that advice, then I don't know why you came here in the first place, because you were meant to be here for a reason.

01:21:08.880 --> 01:21:13.039
<v SPEAKER_01>I'm telling you, I mean, five minutes of breathing a day, I'd do 10.

01:21:13.119 --> 01:21:14.880
<v SPEAKER_01>I would do I mean, you can do more.

01:21:15.039 --> 01:21:15.199
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

01:21:15.279 --> 01:21:18.560
<v SPEAKER_01>I mean, I if you're taking walks, you need to be doing the steps, yeah.

01:21:18.800 --> 01:21:21.680
<v SPEAKER_01>10 uh 10 breaths, you know, yes, yeah.

01:21:22.479 --> 01:21:24.479
<v SPEAKER_01>15 to 20 out, and then the holes.

01:21:24.640 --> 01:21:29.920
<v SPEAKER_01>Then event for a while, you see how many steps you can hold your breath, increase that, watch what happens, right?

01:21:30.079 --> 01:21:34.720
<v SPEAKER_01>The one in the bed, release that you know, this expanded breathing, release that, right?

01:21:34.880 --> 01:21:38.000
<v SPEAKER_01>To release that tension out of your spine and nerve system.

01:21:38.159 --> 01:21:38.880
<v SPEAKER_01>Like that's huge.

01:21:39.039 --> 01:21:40.960
<v SPEAKER_01>I think you need to do that no matter what.

01:21:41.199 --> 01:21:44.159
<v SPEAKER_01>Start your day, or maybe you, you know, you want to do it before you sleep.

01:21:45.840 --> 01:21:50.880
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, and then when you're up in front of your computer, you do the 10 forward, 10 straight up.

01:21:51.199 --> 01:21:51.760
<v SPEAKER_01>And you can do it.

01:21:53.119 --> 01:21:55.680
<v SPEAKER_00>You can still be reading your email and doing your you're right in front of your gym.

01:21:55.920 --> 01:21:58.319
<v SPEAKER_00>You're not have to you don't even have to take a break from work to do it.

01:21:58.399 --> 01:21:59.359
<v SPEAKER_01>You can do it while you're working.

01:21:59.600 --> 01:22:04.000
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah, make a commitment, five minutes a day minimum, but I'm telling you, your life will change.

01:22:04.079 --> 01:22:07.439
<v SPEAKER_01>And then just start try seasonal eating.

01:22:07.600 --> 01:22:09.520
<v SPEAKER_01>I mean, honestly, watch what happens.

01:22:09.600 --> 01:22:11.920
<v SPEAKER_01>Uh, you know, going with the sun, going with the rhythm.

01:22:12.159 --> 01:22:13.600
<v SPEAKER_01>Like I said, you don't have to change your diet.

01:22:13.920 --> 01:22:14.560
<v SPEAKER_01>That's hyperveda.

01:22:14.720 --> 01:22:15.840
<v SPEAKER_01>That's the principle of ibervedta.

01:22:15.920 --> 01:22:16.880
<v SPEAKER_01>I mean, if not in a nutshell.

01:22:17.359 --> 01:22:24.079
<v SPEAKER_00>Just eat more of the foods that are in season in a natural, not pesticide-sprayed way, so you can get the bug.

01:22:24.239 --> 01:22:29.760
<v SPEAKER_00>You want to get the bugs on your food and the chemistry of the food together in a seasonal way to build the bigger.

01:22:30.000 --> 01:22:30.800
<v SPEAKER_00>The bugs, the bugs.

01:22:30.960 --> 01:22:37.840
<v SPEAKER_01>See, this generation, because of COVID, uh, the young generation, I should say, because of COVID, has learned to run from bugs, unfortunately.

01:22:38.000 --> 01:22:38.800
<v SPEAKER_01>Bugs are bad.

01:22:39.039 --> 01:22:44.560
<v SPEAKER_01>I mean, how does it drive you nuts, the the alcohol things when you see people and they do this?

01:22:44.800 --> 01:22:50.079
<v SPEAKER_01>I go berserk when I see that because you're destroying the bugs that are on your hand.

01:22:50.159 --> 01:22:56.880
<v SPEAKER_01>Your first line of defense is what you just killed with that 99% alcohol that you just went on your hands.

01:22:56.960 --> 01:22:57.680
<v SPEAKER_01>I go nuts.

01:22:57.760 --> 01:22:58.960
<v SPEAKER_01>I want to say something to everyone.

01:22:59.279 --> 01:23:00.720
<v SPEAKER_01>I do videos on it all the time.

01:23:00.960 --> 01:23:02.159
<v SPEAKER_01>Stop this right here.

01:23:02.239 --> 01:23:03.760
<v SPEAKER_01>And don't train your kids to do it.

01:23:03.920 --> 01:23:05.199
<v SPEAKER_01>But COVID caused this.

01:23:05.279 --> 01:23:05.439
<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

01:23:05.680 --> 01:23:08.079
<v SPEAKER_01>You know, all the alcohol, killing up.

01:23:08.239 --> 01:23:12.239
<v SPEAKER_01>I think this younger generation has now fears bugs.

01:23:12.560 --> 01:23:13.119
<v SPEAKER_01>I get it.

01:23:13.199 --> 01:23:17.920
<v SPEAKER_01>I'm, you know, it's a natural thing, but we have to retrain our kids that bugs are good.

01:23:18.079 --> 01:23:29.520
<v SPEAKER_01>Kids that grow up with bacteria on farms, playing in the dirt, darn uh uh barn dust, all of it, are going to have less asthma, allergies, autoimmune, cancer.

01:23:29.600 --> 01:23:30.399
<v SPEAKER_01>The list goes on.

01:23:30.479 --> 01:23:31.600
<v SPEAKER_01>It's not our opinion.

01:23:31.760 --> 01:23:33.199
<v SPEAKER_01>That is absolute fact.

01:23:33.359 --> 01:23:34.560
<v SPEAKER_01>We need bacteria.

01:23:34.720 --> 01:23:38.399
<v SPEAKER_01>Get it from your food, get it from the, you know, playing in the dirt.

01:23:38.560 --> 01:23:39.359
<v SPEAKER_01>Get your kids outside.

01:23:39.600 --> 01:23:39.920
<v SPEAKER_01>100%.

<v SPEAKER_01>Yeah.

01:23:40.800 --> 01:23:43.760
<v SPEAKER_01>Anyway, simple principles, but huge principles here.
