Missing Raw Material

The speaker discusses how many people are missing a nutrient, amino acid, substrate, compound or element from their body that would make a difference between them being an average person and being a superhuman.

Most people are walking around at about 55% of their true state of normal because there is something missing from their body.

This missing raw material could be a nutrient, amino acid, substrate, compound or element.

Knowing what is missing can make a difference between being an average person and being a superhuman.

People have accepted certain conditions as consequences of aging or stress when it's actually due to missing raw material.

Why Should You Listen?

The speaker explains why people should listen to his message about extending life and improving health.

Everyone wants to improve their health and be better.

Most people don't realize they're only operating at 55%-60% of their true state of normal due to missing raw material.

Knowing what is missing can make a significant difference in one's health and well-being.

Mortality Prediction in the Insurance Industry

In this section, the speaker talks about their experience as a mortality expert in the insurance industry and how they could predict how long someone had to live with great accuracy.

Mortality Prediction Accuracy

The speaker explains that predicting death to the month is accurate science.

Insurance companies are successful financial institutions because of their accurate mortality predictions.

Life insurance companies bet on one factor - how many more months does a person have left on Earth.

Limitations of Working in the Insurance Industry

The speaker was not allowed to have any contact with patients or treating physicians during their tenure as a mortality expert.

If the database used by insurance companies were made public, it would upend modern medicine catastrophically.

The Impact of Mortality Data on Medicine

In this section, the speaker discusses how access to mortality data could change medicine permanently.

Accessing Mortality Data

Insurance companies have information that no other database has - they know the day, date, time, location, and cause of death for hundreds of millions of people.

Doctors do not always know what happens to patients after they leave their office.

Oxygen and Hypoxia

Lack of oxygen (hypoxia) is at the root of most human ailments and diseases.

All human beings die from hypoxia - lack of oxygen to the brain.

Depleting Raw Materials in the Human Body

In this section, the speaker discusses how depleting certain raw materials in the human body can lead to deficiencies and disease.

Depletion of Raw Materials

When certain raw materials are depleted in the human body, it can lead to deficiencies and disease.

The speaker believes that the presence of oxygen is the absence of disease.

Genetically Inherited Diseases

The speaker discusses the misconception that diseases are passed down genetically and explains that it is actually a deficiency in the body's ability to refine certain raw materials that leads to these conditions. He encourages people to supplement for deficiencies rather than accepting their condition as genetic.

Misconception of Genetically Inherited Diseases

Diseases are not passed down genetically, but rather a deficiency in the body's ability to refine certain raw materials leads to these conditions.

There is not a single compound known to mankind that enters the human body and is used in the format we put it in. Everything gets converted into a usable form, and if this conversion cannot be made, there is a deficiency which leads to disease.

Importance of Supplementing for Deficiencies

If deficiencies are identified and supplemented properly, magic things can happen in human beings.

People should supplement for deficiencies rather than accepting their condition as genetic.

Early Life Experiences

The speaker talks about his early life experiences growing up on a tobacco farm with no nearby neighbors and how he became fascinated with medicine after observing veterinarians fixing animals.

Growing Up on a Farm

The speaker grew up on a large tobacco farm with no nearby neighbors.

He was fascinated by veterinarians who would come onto farms and fix sick animals back to normal function.

Fascination with Medicine

The speaker became fascinated with medicine as he saw it as a way to take something sick and helpless and help it get back to normal function.

He found out in eighth grade that he had clinical photographic recall, which fueled his interest in medicine.

Memory and Science

In this section, the speaker talks about his photographic memory and how he gravitated towards science due to his fascination with it.

Photographic Memory

Photographic memory is usually someone that can remember seven numbers in sequence.

Photographic memory is being able to regurgitate voluminous amounts of information with incredible accuracy.

The speaker recalls information that he doesn't understand, which makes him good at subjects that rely on rote memorization like chemistry, biology, neurobiology, microbiology.

Undergraduate Degree in Biology

The speaker got his undergraduate degree in biology and found it quite easy.

Biology and chemistry were considered the toughest majors at the time.

Despite having intense classes, the speaker was able to have a social life by recording lectures and regurgitating them during tests.

Curse of Photographic Memory

The curse of photographic memory is that the speaker rarely reads for pleasure as he records all information he comes across.

Reading for pleasure would take up storage space in his brain.

Orthopedic Medicine vs. Internal Medicine

In this section, the speaker talks about his interest in orthopedic medicine over internal medicine.

Interest in Orthopedics

The speaker was interested in orthopedics because an orthopedic surgeon fixes people while an internist manages disease.

He liked fixing things and returning function back to people.

Mortality Science for Life Insurance

In this section, the speaker talks about his fascination with mortality science for life insurance and secondary life insurance.

Mortality Science

The speaker went into a rare area of science called mortality science for life insurance and secondary life insurance.

He used medical records and demographic data to predict life expectancy using a probabilistic model.

Predicting Death vs. Helping People Live Healthier Lives

In this section, the speaker talks about his experience working with medical records and how he realized that there were human beings on the other side of the spreadsheets. He discusses how he used to predict death for monetary gain but later decided to use his knowledge to help people live healthier lives.

Realizing There Were Human Beings on the Other Side of the Spreadsheet

The speaker made a conscious decision to stop predicting death for monetary gain and start helping people live healthier lives.

He studied medical records for 8-10 hours a day, 6 days a week, and extracted information on how it would impact someone's outcome in life.

Once he realized there were human beings on the other side of the spreadsheet, he felt like he was sitting behind a thick glass wall just watching blind people walk into traffic.

Artificially Manipulating Medical Records

The speaker used to artificially manipulate medical records by fixing deficiencies or gene mutations and saw an increase in life expectancy in his model.

The model was based on very large data and was likely to have a real-life impact.

Mortality debits and comorbidity debits were used to account for risks such as accidents or disasters.

Moving Towards Wellness and Functional Medicine

Insurance companies wanted to quantify when someone's health issues would cause a catastrophic event based on their current position.

The speaker realized that even though he wasn't a physician, he had a fundamental understanding of human physiology and could make a difference in wellness or functional medicine.

He wanted to extend life and help people live healthier, happier, longer, and more fulfilling lives.

Misdefining Conditions in Modern Medicine

In this section, the speaker talks about how modern medicine misdefines conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, and attention deficit disorder. He explains that attention deficit disorder is actually an attention overload disorder caused by too many windows open at the same time.

Attention Overload Disorder

Attention deficit disorder is actually an attention overload disorder caused by creating thought at a faster rate than degrading thought.

Modern medicine treats it with amphetamines which can burn you out and change the neuroplasticity of the brain.

The right amino acids should be put back into the body instead of racing the central nervous system to match the pace of the mind.

Misdefining Conditions

Depression or anxiety are not just chemical imbalances but also have environmental factors such as stressors or trauma.

ADHD is not a lack of focus but rather an inability to regulate focus due to too many windows open at once.

Introduction

In this section, the speaker discusses modern medicine's approach to treating mental health issues and how it may not be effective.

Modern Medicine's Approach

Modern medicine uses neuroplasticity-altering chemicals to treat mental health issues.

The speaker argues that this approach does not make sense for treating long-standing relationship issues or trauma.

Depression and anxiety are real conditions, but their definitions are based on inadequate serotonin levels in America.

Defining Depression

In this section, the speaker defines depression and explains why raising serotonin levels may not be an effective treatment.

Defining Depression

Depression is defined as an inadequate supply of serotonin in America.

The solution would be to raise serotonin levels if depression was caused by low serotonin levels.

However, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), which ration what little serotonin people have, are used to treat depression instead of raising serotonin levels.

Clients who have been on antidepressants for years often do not see any improvement in their condition.

Methylation Process

Serotonin is methylated in the gut from tryptophan amino acids.

Methylation is a refining process where raw materials get refined into neurotransmitters.

When methylation is broken, there is an impaired ability to create or refine raw materials leading to a deficit of neurotransmitters like serotonin.

Depression and Anxiety Begin in the Gut

In this section, the speaker explains how depression and anxiety begin in the gut due to methylation problems.

Serotonin Resides in the Gut

90% of serotonin resides in the gut.

Depression and anxiety rarely begin in the outside environment but rather in the gut.

Trauma may lead to a deficiency of serotonin, but the fix is not a chemical or synthetic pharmaceutical that blocks the brain's capacity to uptake neurotransmitters.

The solution is restoring adequate levels of serotonin to the body so it can make its way back up the vagus nerve and arrive at the brain.

Anxiety

Anxiety comes from within an individual and not from their outside environment.

Methylation causes excess catecholamines to enter the brain, leading to an inability to down-regulate them.

The body enters a mild fight-or-flight response without any fear present.

The brain does not know the difference between perception and reality, which can cause anxiety.

Conclusion

In this section, the speaker concludes by summarizing how depression and anxiety begin in the gut due to methylation problems.

Brain Cares About Survival

The brain cares about survival more than anything else.

Depression and anxiety are caused by methylation problems that lead to deficiencies in neurotransmitters like serotonin.

Restoring adequate levels of serotonin through natural means can help alleviate these conditions.

Understanding Anxiety and Methylation

In this section, the speaker discusses anxiety and how it can be caused by a lack of raw material in the human body. He explains that anxiety is a fear of something happening in the future, usually without any presence of fear.

Anxiety vs. Fear

Anxiety is a fear of something happening in the future, usually without any presence of fear.

True anxiety exists but you can point to the specific trigger that causes it.

Generalized anxiety or idiopathic anxiety means unknown origin.

Methylation and Anxiety

Methylation can be broken which leads to anxiousness and mild anxiety.

Taking a genetic test once in your lifetime can help find where methylation is broken so you can supplement for this deficiency.

Cortisol levels are not really a measure of how much stress is in your life but rather your body's reaction to stress.

Causes of Anxiety

Catalystic moments such as becoming famous or having a violent attack can cause situational anxiety.

Majority of people suffer from generalized or idiopathic anxiety which has no presence of fear especially if that incident has never happened before.

Treatment for Anxiety

No specific treatment was mentioned.

Gut Issues and Anxiety

In this section, the speaker discusses how gut issues are related to anxiety and how gene mutations can cause deficiencies that affect gut motility.

Relationship between Gut Issues and Anxiety

People with idiopathic anxiety or generalized anxiety due to low serotonin often have gut issues.

The same neurotransmitters that affect emotional states also affect the motility of the gut.

Gut issues such as gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, cramping, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis are often correlated with what people last ate.

Importance of Gut Motility

Gut motility is the pace of the gut and is responsible for moving food through the digestive system.

Gene mutations can cause deficiencies that affect gut motility.

Supplementing for these deficiencies can restore normal gut motility and alleviate strange allergies and gas.

The Human Intestinal Tract

In this section, the speaker explains how the human intestinal tract works like an assembly line.

The Assembly Line Analogy

The human intestinal tract is 30 feet long and works like an assembly line.

Food enters in a very acidic environment from the stomach and moves slowly towards the rectum in a relatively alkaline environment.

Bacteria along the conveyor belt are graded by pH to ensure proper digestion.

Importance of Proper Pace

Changing the pace of the gut affects peristaltic activity which can lead to strange allergies and gas.

Supplementing for gene mutations that cause deficiencies affecting gut motility can restore normal pace.

Pathology and Modifiable Risk Factors

In this section, the speaker discusses how diseases can be caused by deficiencies in the body's raw materials and how modifiable risk factors can impact disease trajectory.

Genetic Hypertension

Elevated levels of an amino acid called homocysteine can cause hypertension.

Homocysteine irritates the endothelial lining of blood vessels, causing them to clamp down and increase pressure.

Narrowing of blood vessels due to irritation leads to high blood pressure.

Doctors often prescribe medication without looking at what raw material is missing in the body that prevents it from bringing homocysteine down.

Modifiable Risk Factors

A modifiable risk factor is a risk factor that you have, but if you changed it, it would have a demonstrative impact on the trajectory of your life.

Anemia is a common modifiable risk factor that exacerbates many conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, etc.

Low hemoglobin or red blood cell count means low oxygen transport in the blood which makes one more vulnerable to various conditions.

Cognitive function impairment increases all cause mortality. Vitamin D3 deficiency is estimated to affect 50% of the world's population.

The Importance of Vitamin D3

This section discusses the importance of vitamin D3 and how it acts as a hormone and calcium transport molecule. It also highlights the impact of vitamin D3 deficiency on the immune system.

Impact on Immune System

Every cell in the human body has a receptor site for vitamin D3.

Darker skin pigmentation leads to lower levels of vitamin D3, which compromises the immune system and makes individuals more susceptible to attack.

African-American, Latino, and Middle Eastern populations have a higher percentage of vitamin D3 deficiency (approaching 85%) due to spending less time in sunlight.

Depletion of Vitamin D3

Severe depletion in vitamin D3 can lead to autoimmune disease, brittle bone disease, immunocompromised conditions, and rheumatoid arthritis-like symptoms.

Supplementing with 5000 IUs of vitamin D3 is recommended unless adequate sunlight exposure is achieved.

Life Expectancy & Sunlight Exposure

This section discusses how life expectancy is affected by sunlight exposure and latitude.

Life Expectancy & Latitude

The longest life expectancies are centered around the equator where there is longer periods of sunlight throughout the year.

For every 20 degrees latitude away from the equator, there is a precipitous drop in life expectancy until reaching the poles where life expectancy is shortest.

Eskimo Population

Eskimos living at the poles had a 56-year life expectancy due to months without seeing sunlight leading to severe depletion in vitamin D3 and related health conditions.

Misdiagnosis and Medical Error

In this section, the speaker discusses how misdiagnosis and medical errors can lead to unnecessary surgeries, reduced mobility, and even death.

The Dangers of Misdiagnosis

Misdiagnosing a condition due to a deficiency in a nutrient can lead to unnecessary surgery.

Unnecessary surgery can reduce mobility and bring forward diseases that would not have been caught otherwise.

Medical error is the third leading cause of death in America, with misdiagnosis being a significant contributor.

Synthetic Chemical Pharmaceuticals

The average American over 52 is on five prescription medications.

Many synthetic chemical pharmaceuticals have unknown long-term side effects or mechanisms of action.

Sleep Issues and Gene Mutations

In this section, the speaker discusses how gene mutations can affect sleep patterns and offers solutions for better sleep.

The COMT Gene Mutation

Individuals with the COMT gene mutation may struggle with falling asleep due to an active mind.

Taking methyl folate and SAM-e supplements can help individuals with the COMT gene mutation fall asleep more easily.

Solutions for Better Sleep

Distraction is key to quieting an active mind at bedtime.

A simple cheek swab test costing $599 can determine if an individual has the COMT gene mutation.

The Impact of Gene Mutations on Emotional States

In this section, the speaker discusses how mood and emotional states are affected by gene mutations.

Gene Mutations and Emotional States

Mood and emotional states are recipes that require specific neurotransmitters.

Gene mutations can cause deficiencies in neurotransmitter production, leading to an inability to assemble certain emotional states.

A gene mutation means that a copy of a gene from each parent is passed down to an individual.

Methylation genes code for how materials are taken into the body and refined into usable forms. Deficiencies in methylation genes lead to the expression of certain conditions.

When an individual cannot adequately methylate neurotransmitters, they have a deficiency in a certain neurotransmitter, which leads to an inability to assemble any emotional state that requires that neurotransmitter.

MTHFR Mutation

44% of the world's population has a gene mutation called MTHFR (methylene tetrahydrofolate ductase), which impairs the ability to convert folic acid into methylfolate.

Folic acid is not found naturally in nature but is one of the most prevalent nutrients in human diets. It must be converted into methylfolate before it can prevent neural tube defects.

If a woman with the MTHFR mutation takes folic acid during pregnancy, she may develop postpartum depression because she cannot break down folic acid into methylfolate.

B12 Forms

There are three types of B12: cyanocobalamin, hydroxycobalamin, and methylcobalamin. These forms of B12 occur naturally in nature.

Understanding Methylation and Genetic Mutations

In this section, the speakers discuss the importance of methylation and genetic mutations in human health. They also talk about how targeted supplementation can help address deficiencies.

Synthetic Chemicals vs Natural Raw Materials

The speaker questions why people take synthetic chemicals like folic acid instead of natural raw materials for optimal health.

Understanding the process of methylation is important to know where genetic mutations are and where there is a genetic inability to refine raw materials.

Targeted supplementation can be done for specific deficiencies by taking a genetic test once in a lifetime.

Genetic Mutations and Ancestry

The speaker recommends everyone take a genetic test once in their lifetime to understand their ancestry.

Genetic mutations do not mean that humans are broken but rather that certain families have an inability to refine certain raw materials.

Providing the body with the right methylated nutrients can help individuals with attention deficit disorder, trouble sleeping, or prioritization issues.

Procrastination and Prioritization

Many entrepreneurs work well under pressure because they lack the ability to set priorities internally due to a deficiency in methylated nutrients.

Giving equal weight to all thoughts that come into your mind leads to procrastination and difficulty setting priorities internally.

Aging is essentially the aggressive pursuit of comfort.

Introduction

The speaker talks about how he discovered the guest and reached out to him.

Discovering the Guest

The speaker's friend sent a clip of Dana White talking about the guest.

The speaker watched the clip and did some research on the guest.

The speaker watched a series of videos of the guest online talking about health.

The guest asked audience members to stand up and name their health issues, which he diagnosed on the spot.

The speaker reached out to the guest on Instagram.

Dana White's Story

The speaker discusses Dana White's health issues and how he helped him.

Dana White's Health Issues

Dana White had given up on thriving and accepted his hypothyroidism, hypertension, soreness, achiness, brain fog, spare tire, and dependence on medications.

He was taking seven medications at that time, three of which were for blood pressure.

He was also taking thyroid medication.

Helping Dana White

When they met, all Dana wanted was for the guest to predict his life expectancy.

However, this is not something that can be done with genetic testing or blood work.

Despite this limitation, the guest agreed to do a blood test and gene test on him as well as pull all his medical records.

After running tests in a lab overnight, they found that his triglycerides were almost 800 (shouldn't be above 149). This is an enormous number that indicates high levels of blood fat in a fasted state.

They also found that he was insulin resistant, hyperinsulinemic, pre-diabetic with skyrocketing levels of cholesterol. Additionally, he had hypertriglyceridemia and homocystinemia which elevates homocysteine and causes blood vessels to constrict.

The guest booked a flight to see him in person and help him.

Life-Threatening Alert

The speaker talks about the life-threatening alert that they received for Dana White's blood work.

Life-Threatening Alert

At 1:30 am, LabCorp called with a life-threatening alert on a patient.

The patient was Dana White, and his triglycerides were almost 800.

This is an enormous number that indicates high levels of blood fat in a fasted state.

They found out that he was insulin resistant, hyperinsulinemic, pre-diabetic with skyrocketing levels of cholesterol. Additionally, he had hypertriglyceridemia and homocystinemia which elevates homocysteine and causes blood vessels to constrict.

Dana White's Health Transformation

In this section, the speaker describes how he helped Dana White transform his health and extend his life expectancy.

Prescription Ketogenic Diet

The speaker prescribed a ketogenic diet to Dana White.

The diet was written down to the grocery list level, with strict instructions on what to eat.

After 10 weeks on the diet, Dana had lost almost 30 pounds and had a significant improvement in his blood work.

By the end of five months, he was completely off every prescription medication and had lost over 40 pounds.

Superhuman Protocol

The speaker introduced Dana to the Superhuman protocol which uses magnetism, oxygen, and light therapy.

He bought $150k worth of equipment for exercise with oxygen therapy and red light therapy bed.

Earthing or grounding is also an effective way to get these benefits by contacting bare feet on soil dirt grass sand.

Life Expectancy Improvement

Based on medical records from previous years, demographic data pulled for ten years, and blood work results after ten weeks of treatment, it was determined that Dana's life expectancy was only 10.4 years.

After five months of treatment including a ketogenic diet and Superhuman protocol, his life expectancy almost tripled just under 30 years.

[#](no timestamp available) Importance of Lifestyle Changes

In this section, the speaker emphasizes the importance of lifestyle changes in improving overall health.

Effects of Poor Lifestyle Choices

Poor lifestyle choices can lead to conditions such as insulin resistance, high triglycerides, and pre-diabetes.

These conditions can lead to life-threatening outcomes such as heart disease, kidney failure, and liver damage.

Benefits of Lifestyle Changes

Making lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise can improve blood work results, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and extend life expectancy.

The speaker emphasizes that it's never too late to make positive changes in one's health.

Becoming Superhuman

In this section, the speaker discusses how to become superhuman by contacting the Earth and doing breath work.

Contacting the Earth

To become alkaline, contact the surface of the Earth.

Spending 10 minutes a day breathing under mild exercise can help you become alkaline.

Lay in a red light therapy bed for optimal results.

Breath Work

Spend eight minutes every day doing a specific series of breath work.

The speaker recommends starting with three rounds of five deep breaths and working up to 30 deep breaths per round.

If you get lightheaded or feel tingling in your fingers and toes, it's a good sign that you're changing the oxygen tension in your brain.

Expose yourself to natural sunlight for at least 45 minutes each morning to reset your circadian rhythm.

Oxygen Masks

An oxygen concentrator can turn 21% oxygen into 95% O2 and fill a bag that can be refilled over and over again.

Use an oxygen mask while exercising for only 10 minutes.

Exercise with Oxygen Therapy and Cold Water Cleansing

In this section, the speaker discusses the benefits of exercise with oxygen therapy and cold water cleansing.

Exercise with Oxygen Therapy

Do mild exercise every day while breathing 95% O2.

If you don't have access to a hypermax oxygen machine, do breathwork to exchange oxygen tension in tissues.

Move into a red light therapy bed for photo biomodulation.

Cold Water Cleansing

Cold water cleansing has anti-inflammatory effects and increases protein synthesis and muscle repair.

Immersing yourself in cold water for 3-6 minutes a day can strip fat off your body fast.

Peripheral vasoconstriction forces all the oxygen into the core and up to the brain, leading to an activation of Brown fat thermogenesis.

The Impact of Cold Water on Mood and Deep Sleep

In this section, the speaker explains how cold water immersion impacts mood and deep sleep.

Impact on Mood

Immersing yourself in cold water has a profound impact on mood because it forces oxygen up to the brain.

Impact on Deep Sleep

Deep sleep involves a secondary oxygen transfer from extremities to the brain.

Unlike muscles, which receive more blood flow during exercise, brains receive consistent nutrients regardless of activity level except during deep sleep or when immersed in cold water.

The Comfort Crisis: Aging Acceleration through Comfort Pursuit

In this section, the speaker discusses how comfort pursuit accelerates aging.

Aging Acceleration

Aging is the aggressive pursuit of comfort.

Loading bones strengthens them, tearing muscles makes them grow, and challenging the immune system strengthens it.

Stressors like thermal stress, weight-bearing exercise, and breathwork are good for the body.

Conclusion

In this section, the speaker concludes his talk.

Key Takeaways

Exercise with oxygen therapy and cold water cleansing have numerous health benefits.

The Comfort Crisis accelerates aging by collapsing natural defense mechanisms.

Stressors like thermal stress, weight-bearing exercise, and breathwork are good for the body.

Learning to Control Your Emotional State

In this section, the speaker discusses how learning to deal with discomfort and becoming comfortable with being uncomfortable is a metaphor for life. He explains that controlling our emotional state is crucial in determining our future.

Yoga as a Metaphor for Life

People don't want to be uncomfortable, which is why they never take cold showers again after their first one.

Intense yoga teaches you to remain calm and focus on your breath while your body is in intense pain.

If you can maintain calm and breathe through an intense situation like yoga, it will help you control your emotional state when faced with negative situations later on.

The Link Between Emotion and Memory

The amygdala of the brain, where we experience emotion, is the sole gateway to an area of the brain called the hippocampus, where we hold our memories.

Emotion is linked to memory, which projects into the prefrontal cortex and determines our future.

This means that your current emotional state determines your future.

Controlling Your Emotional State

To change your mind about a negative situation at work or elsewhere, learn to control your emotions.

Start by putting the right nutrients into your body that allow you to achieve elevated emotional states.

When you feel like you are beginning to lose control of your emotional state, break that cycle by doing breath work or other techniques.

Starting your day in an elevated emotional state can help negative situations roll off your back instead of shifting your mood and memory, which can change the trajectory of your prefrontal cortex and affect your future.

Traveling as a Way to Achieve Elevated Emotional States

The speaker travels all over the world and has a system for traveling that makes him feel amazing.

Starting your day in an elevated emotional state can help negative situations roll off your back instead of shifting your mood and memory, which can change the trajectory of your prefrontal cortex and affect your future.

Tips for Adjusting to New Time Zones

In this section, the speaker provides tips for adjusting to new time zones when traveling.

Preserve Your Sleeping Window

The most important thing to do when changing time zones is to preserve your sleeping window.

Do not eat during your normal sleeping window in your home time zone.

If you eat during your normal sleeping window, there is zero chance you will adjust to the new time zone.

Shift your sleeping window and preserve that sleeping window in your new time zone.

Do not eat during those times.

Adjusting to Time Zone Changes

If you are traveling for a week or less, preserve your sleeping window the entire week with your hair.

If you are there for more than seven to ten days, then you need to really adjust to that time zone.

Physiologically if you don't adjust, you will irrevocably mess up your circadian rhythm.

Fasting on Flights

On domestic flights, fast and only hydrate yourself with water or black coffee.

On international flights, eat fats and proteins instead of carbohydrates because carbs at altitude are terrible for you.

Carbs divert blood from the brain towards digestion which makes one feel tired and unfocused.

Energy Priority

Energy is a huge priority when it comes to food choices while traveling.

Food either serves or steals energy from us.

Oxygen in our blood equals energy.

Optimal Health is Found in the Basics

In this section, the speaker emphasizes that optimal health is found in the basics and not in complicated or fancy neurotropics. He believes that getting back to the basics of Mother Nature and Whole Foods can lead to a state of optimal health.

Back to Basics

Optimal health is found in the basics, not in complicated or fancy neurotropics.

The further we get away from the basics of magnetism, oxygen, light, and Whole Foods, the more unhealthy we become.

Getting back to the basics with our foods can be achieved by following a good rule of thumb: if your great-grandmother wouldn't recognize it, don't eat it.

By getting back to nature and focusing on basic principles, you can achieve a state of optimal health beyond anything you thought imaginable.

Struggling with Discipline

In this section, the speaker talks about his struggle with discipline when it comes to enjoying simple pleasures like having a cocktail or eating birthday cake. He feels guilty for indulging himself and thinks he's letting down everyone else when he does so.

Struggle with Discipline

The speaker struggles with discipline when it comes to enjoying simple pleasures like having a cocktail or eating birthday cake.

He feels an extra burden of guilt whenever he indulges himself because he thinks he's letting down everyone else.

Although he knows that having some enjoyment is not going to hurt him or throw him off track, he still finds it difficult to let go of his strict discipline.

The speaker realizes that being too hard on himself is not sustainable over time and wishes he could find it easier.

Huel as Nutritional Support

In this section, the host talks about his experience with Huel, a nutritional drink that has helped him stay nutritionally complete throughout his busy schedule. He expresses gratitude for the support of Huel and encourages listeners to try it out.

Huel as Nutritional Support

The host has been a Huel drinker for about four years and invested in the company.

Huel is an unbelievable way to stay nutritionally on course if you have a hectic, busy schedule.

The CEO of Huel believed in the host's podcast before anyone else and backed it from the beginning.

The host expresses gratitude for the support of Huel and encourages listeners to try it out.
