[00:00:00] Carl Lanore: [00:00:00] Hey, Hey, welcome back to another episode of superhuman radio. Uh, today is, uh, March 2nd, 2020. Wow, this is going fast. We're just burned through the first quarter of 2020 and, uh, we've got a really great show plan today. We're going to be joined by Gina Aliotti and just a moment to talk about some things that moms have to deal with.

[00:00:23] Um. Before we do that, we have to thank our title sponsor for their generous contribution to the show. That keeps the show going. Uh, that is, uh, legendary foods. And, you know, I've been telling you about the tasty pastry, you know, for the first quarter, and it really is amazing. Um, it is basically a pop tart 2.0, it's nine grams of protein, less than a one gram of sugar, uh, less than three to four grams of impact carbs.

[00:00:49] And it tastes delicious. They, you can't stop eating them. And that's why legendary foods is working as fast as they can to make more, uh, because, uh, they do run out [00:01:00] now that people know about them. But while you're over there, don't ignore. The nut butters. Uh, some of you have seen me on social media make a, uh, a peanut butter and tasty pastry sandwich, uh, by smearing some of the nut butters on the two tasty patients and eating them.

[00:01:17] Because I'm a Galvan, I'm a hog, and so more is better. Uh, but don't ignore the nut butters. They have the best nut butters in the world with no sugars added, no added sugar. Um. These, they taste unbelievable. Uh, the two that come to mind is the, uh, uh, the Apple pie. And also, uh, the blueberry cinnamon bun. Oh, Cinnabon.

[00:01:40] It's unbelievable. And I just find myself eating them out of, out of the jar, uh, because they don't really need anything else. You just need those. So, uh, check them out. Go to eat legendary.com. And of course if you go to superhuman radio.net, you'll see plenty of banner ads for them.

Uh, and now I'm going to bring my guest on. Just one second. Do my magic here. How are you doing, Gina? Oh, sorry. There you go. Great. Great, great, great, great.

[00:02:27] Very excited to have you on. I've watched you for many, many years. Uh, I know that you were an amazing competitor. Um, and, and you've done some amazing things now, even with children, and that's what we're gonna be talking about today. You know. I thought about this, Gina, all we hear about is the dad bod, but if anyone's body is completely wrecked by childbirth, it's the mom.

[00:02:51] I mean, you literally manufacture a human being inside your belly, and the skin stretches and organs get crunched and [00:03:00] all sorts of horrible things happen. And then after nine months of pushing. The baby out through what is equivalent to a change purse. Uh, you know, you, you are left with the trauma. This cannot be called anything else but traumatic to the human body.

[00:03:16] And all we hear about is dad bods. It's like the heck would the dads, what about the moms? Right?

[00:03:21] Gina Aliotti: [00:03:21] Yeah. It is pretty amazing what the body can do and seeing the transformation. Thanks for using that picture too. Cause it just reminds you, wow, what the body can do and then also what we're capable of post-pregnancy.

[00:03:33] Carl Lanore: [00:03:33] So you ha you have both a boy and a girl, correct? Yes.

[00:03:36] Gina Aliotti: [00:03:36] Okay.

[00:03:38] Carl Lanore: [00:03:38] Okay. So now my mother used to say, she could tell by looking at a woman if she carried low that it was a boy. And if you could do you, did you see any of that stuff? Like, I'm sure you've heard those things too, right? I

[00:03:49] Gina Aliotti: [00:03:49] did it. I carry kind of the same way with both kids.

[00:03:53] You know? I actually felt the same. I don't know if it's because I'm consistent. I'd like to say it's because of my lifestyle, but who knows? I know. I've heard all those [00:04:00] things. I guess you're wider than it's a girl, and if you're more forward, it's a boy. I don't know.

[00:04:05] Carl Lanore: [00:04:05] Yeah, and the other thing I think is completely strange is how, at least when I was a kid growing up in Brooklyn, like.

[00:04:11] A woman would be pregnant and another woman would come up and put her hand on her belly and go, Oh, when are you due? Like there is no other time in life where you can actually touch another human being. And it's almost like invited. And I felt bad for women. I'd be like, I would think to myself, that is like so insane.

[00:04:27] Like I wouldn't go up to some guy or even some girl and just touch her belly, but when there's a baby in it, it's like, yeah, it's okay. Yeah. They rub it. Yeah, I know. Did people do that to you when you were pregnant? Yeah. Yeah. I heard. If you rub the hunchbacks home, that's good. Look too. But that's another story.

[00:04:47] So, um, the reality is that you probably, if you really all someone who's saying, okay, I don't want to get wrecked by this pregnancy. I want to be able to bounce back quickly. [00:05:00] Thinking about this has to precede getting pregnant, right? Don't, don't. Some women go into their pregnancy carrying a lot of weight to begin with, right?

[00:05:09] Gina Aliotti: [00:05:09] The best thing that you can do is to create that foundation so that you're just continuing with your consistency throughout your pregnancy. So for those that have never had a consistent, you know, fitness background, then the best thing they can do is do something, just movement. But for those that have been consistent, the best thing they can do is just continue with their consistency.

[00:05:30] And the biggest thing is. The excuses of pregnancy get in the way very easily. You know, that excuse to eat more. You have to eat however many more calories and all those things, and it's very common to let those excuses become a reality. Um, so I think that, you know, just kind of keeping. In check those excuses and what your body really needs and what is you think it needs are two

[00:05:51] Carl Lanore: [00:05:51] different things.

[00:05:52] So this is interesting. You say this, right? I have three children. I didn't give birth to them, obviously, but I, I caused the [00:06:00] problem. And so, you know, I remember my ex wife, uh, you know, when she was pregnant, she would eat completely unrestrained and her, her OB GYN, dr Eisenman would, would tell her, Oh, I eat whatever you want to do.

[00:06:15] I think doctors. Uh, have a small part to play in this unrestricted overeating that, uh, pregnant moms undergo. What do you think.

[00:06:26] Gina Aliotti: [00:06:26] Absolutely. It's like they give you permission that this is only nine months. You know? Especially if it's your last pregnancy, or maybe it's your only pregnancy. It's like enjoy yourself, you know?

[00:06:35] But they don't realize the aftermath afterwards of not only getting your body back, but then having to come up with your routine again. You know, postpartum depression, if you're one that has, that goes through that. There's so many other emotional variables that come with pregnancy that a male doctor does not quite understand.

[00:06:53] So I definitely think that that they do give you that full permission and just hopefully, um, mothers have the guidance [00:07:00] to, to know, you know, where to kind of let their guard down, um, and take things easier, which is what I did throughout my pregnancy, but also to know the difference between a wanton and need for sure.

[00:07:10] Carl Lanore: [00:07:10] And you touch on another really good point. Uh, I, whenever I see girls at the gym who are pregnant, I walk up to them and I say, you're doing the most wonderful thing for your about baby that you could possibly do. And they'd look at me, they, and they'd be like, I hope so. No, you are. Because you are going to have a baby that isn't imprinted genetically to become obese.

[00:07:32] And, and when women say. Well, you know, I'm pregnant. I got to lay around. They don't realize that, you know, 2.5 billion years of evolution. Women, they hunted and gathered just like the men. They didn't sit in a hut somewhere and the guy went out for nine months and Brent brought food back them. They had to hustle too.

[00:07:51] They didn't lose their babies. So this idea that we have to be gentle, like don't walk too much. Oh, don't lift anything heavy. I mean, if you have a, okay. [00:08:00] If you have a high risk pregnancy, then of course, if your doctor says, look, you're a high risk pregnancy, you got to stay in bed for five months, then you do that.

[00:08:07] But other women who don't have high risk pregnancies, they should continue to work.

[00:08:11] Gina Aliotti: [00:08:11] Shouldn't they? Absolutely. And I also think, especially if you've been working out before, the key is, is that you can, you can continue and maintain. So I wouldn't go from somebody who has never worked out to, to going crazy.

[00:08:23] But you know, movement is always something gentle. But definitely there is no reason why you have to. Stop doing everything. You may have to manipulate things and be a little bit more flexible. Like, I stopped doing hot yoga, I stopped running, but that didn't mean that I stopped everything. I just took it to the pool and did more of a gentle approach.

[00:08:39] But I'm, I work with pregnant women all the time to specifically that I have in my head that. It's amazing how they're continuing on their path. Now mind you, their diet shifts and we do change their, their training, but for the most part we keep things really consistent. And actually the consistency of their movement keeps the water [00:09:00] levels down.

[00:09:00] The puffiness, I had the most incredible pregnancies and I'm now seeing that with the people that I, that I helped through the pregnancies with staying active. You know, being mindful with the food. So I definitely think that, um, yeah, you, everybody should maintain some amount of consistency when they get pregnant.

[00:09:18] Carl Lanore: [00:09:18] So since none of my children were planned, I don't know if yours were, I mean, I don't know if you said, okay, it's time. But most pregnancies aren't planned, and so there's a large population of women out there who are not in shape when they find out that they're pregnant. So what do you say to them? If you're saying, you know, you don't start going to the gym if you weren't going to the gym before, what do you, what do you say to women who go, Oh, now, now I'm pregnant.

[00:09:43] I want to do the best thing for my baby. I also want to do the best thing for my own body. What do they do?

[00:09:48] Gina Aliotti: [00:09:48] I would recommend that they, you know, find somebody that might be able to be able to coach them because how are they going to know what if their body's screaming at them or if it's a true, it's a true craving or if it's a mental craving.

[00:09:58] But beyond that, I [00:10:00] would just say move. I don't care if it's five minutes a day, move daily, go for a walk, walk your dog. Just every day movement is going to keep things going. And so there's really no excuse. Everybody can move and I don't care if it's a snail's pace. Jasmine.

[00:10:15] Carl Lanore: [00:10:15] Yeah. So walking is probably a safe thing for everyone, every woman to do, no matter what stage of life she's at when she gets pregnant, she can definitely start walking during her pregnancy.

[00:10:26] Gina Aliotti: [00:10:26] Absolutely. And it's so good. You know, the movements just so good. Pregnant or not pregnant, but for somebody who's never done anything. Yeah. You cannot go wrong with a nice stroll. Just

[00:10:36] Carl Lanore: [00:10:36] do something. Yeah. Yeah. And then usually when the second baby comes along, you're loss strolling a lot because you're pushing a a a.

[00:10:43] What we used to call an ambulator a carriage. Oh, you're switching babies around. So that's obviously nice. So, um, what about later in the pregnancy? A lot of women have really smooth times until that last trimester when now the baby is pressing against organs. They have to pee every [00:11:00] five seconds cause the baby's pressing against their, their bladder or their, their spine.

[00:11:04] What do you do? You just go, okay. You know, I've, I've, I've stayed active for two trimesters. I'm just going to sit down and, and relax now.

[00:11:14] Gina Aliotti: [00:11:14] Well, I think every pregnancy is different. So there is a time when you may not be able, I still think that, I mean move as much as you can, but for some reason you find yourself where you are.

[00:11:23] Having those symptoms that are rare to to certain people. Then I know for me, when I was 36 weeks pregnant, I had to stop swimming with my. Well, I think it was my first, first pregnancy. I would need to let, I was going all the way through. Everyone thought it was going to pop,

[00:11:36] Carl Lanore: [00:11:36] but, um,

[00:11:37] Gina Aliotti: [00:11:37] you know, then it becomes like really focusing on, I'm really big on mindset.

[00:11:42] So doing the mindset work on just, you know, the breath work on introducing your baby into the world. I mean, there's a whole nother thing you can shift your mind from going from movement into like, you know, the mental preparation. Um, just being really, I don't wanna say strict, that's not the right word.

[00:11:58] Um, being more mindful of your [00:12:00] food choices. So if you're having to decrease the activity, then you have to be careful to not overdo to any other area, not restrict yourself, but just not be eating the ice cream and doing those types of things.

[00:12:09] Carl Lanore: [00:12:09] Oh, and we're going to talk about diet here in a second, because that, that's a J just like you, and I know.

[00:12:15] That no matter how hard you train, the magic happens in the kitchen. Seeing your abs is as a result of what you do in the kitchen, building muscle as a result of what you do in the kitchen. And we're going to get into that too, because that's a very, very important, that's probably 90% for pregnant women to maintain and retain and be able to get back in shape quickly.

[00:12:37] But sticking with the whole discussion about activity, um. Do you, do you think that if a woman feels good, she should be doing things? I mean, if she feels capable, she was doing CrossFit before she was pregnant. Do you think you think, eh, aggressive things like CrossFit are good for women to continue to do if they feel like they can.

[00:13:01] [00:13:00] Gina Aliotti: [00:13:01] They do say that if you've been doing something before that you can continue the same type of activity. I've even seen people that are running marathons or doing heated yoga. Even. I've seen CrossFit ladies that are looks phenomenal, join their stuff. I think it really depends on what resonates with you.

[00:13:17] For me, I just couldn't, I couldn't. Run like I used to, I could, I just didn't feel right going into a heated room. So it just depends on kind of what feels good to you and what you believe in. Um, however, I do think that, you know, doing some of the crazy CrossFit stuff probably is not the smartest thing, especially during.

[00:13:37] The first and third trimester, but during that, you know, it just depends on if you're, you could still do CrossFit. You just really should modify the moves and, and be a little bit more careful than without

[00:13:48] Carl Lanore: [00:13:48] a baby. I saw a video of a woman who was fairly far along, I would guess that she was, at least in the end of the second trimester, squatting on Instagram, and she was squatting some real way.

[00:13:59] She was squatting [00:14:00] 300 plus pounds.

[00:14:01] Gina Aliotti: [00:14:01] Yeah. That's a little crazy.

[00:14:05] Carl Lanore: [00:14:05] Right? But, but, but if she was a power lifter type and she was squatting 300 pounds before the pregnancy, that that makes me worry. I, I'm, I'm compelled to say, well, yo, more power to her, but that makes me worry. I wonder what. We don't really, we see those videos.

[00:14:20] We never know what the, the outcome is three months later when they deliver the baby.

[00:14:24] Gina Aliotti: [00:14:24] Exactly. And you know, I think that we should continue with our movement, but at the same time there is that you don't want to let everything go, but during that time, you want to just embrace, embrace being pregnant and, and, you know, stay active.

[00:14:37] But at the same time, it's not really, you got to shift your mindset to going from extreme and going crazy to just more of like, you know, just. Embracing a different, different side of pregnancy where you're just focusing on, you know, um, lighter, being a little bit more smart with your movement and that kind of stuff.

[00:14:55] Carl Lanore: [00:14:55] I, I, you know, and, and I, and I, Patrick Rogers put this up there and his, [00:15:00] he's a great guy. He's also a part of the strong man community. And he says, it's a great time, you know, for women to start healthy habits. And that's the truth. You know, I have conversations every single week with people who reach out to me and ask me for help.

[00:15:13] And. A lot of times I can't motivate them to take the steps that I know ultimately will help them. So I have this thing where I do. I say, well, I say, ah, you got yo, you got kids. Yeah, I got, you know, three kids. Okay. How about your wife? You love your wife? Yeah. I said, well, you're a selfish sob if you don't do these things because what you're going to do is you've got to get sick and you're going to be a burden to them.

[00:15:36] Do you really want your 21 year old son having a wipe your behind because you're not willing to do it for yourself and that there was so many people on this planet that will do something for their kids. But they won't do it for themselves, which is sad. But if that's the only way you can get them to do it, then then do it.

[00:15:53] A lot of women probably who are looking at, they just found out that they're pregnant, should look at this as an opportunity to actually [00:16:00] build a healthy environment for that baby by getting themselves straightened out.

[00:16:05] Gina Aliotti: [00:16:05] I do agree, and I loved what he said because there's no better time than to start those healthy habits.

[00:16:09] And for some people, they won't do it for themselves, but they'll do it for their kids. So absolutely, it's a perfect time. It's like, okay, I wasn't doing this for myself, but now I've got a child, and sometimes that is the catalyst to get people going. So that was a really good point. Patrick.

[00:16:23] Carl Lanore: [00:16:23] Uh, so what about, what about the delivery?

[00:16:26] Do you see any, have you had, do you have any anecdotal evidence that women who stay in motion, maybe they're just walking, but they're walking, you know, three or four miles a day. When it comes time to deliver, they have an easier time because they have stronger bodies.

[00:16:41] Gina Aliotti: [00:16:41] Yes, absolutely. I mean, I can only speak from experience and then also watching my clients now who have had the most incredible deliveries and then there, because they were in movement during pregnancy, you know that ball in motion, we want to keep it in motion.

[00:16:56] It's a lot easier to keep things going and to start walking [00:17:00] right away. And they do say, you know, four to six weeks postpartum is when you want to start to wait to get the clearance to do much more. And I do agree with that, but there's no reason you can't start moving right away and keep those habits going so that you can just continue it on.

[00:17:13] Because I feel like when we stopped for too long, whether you're pregnant, postpartum, or even now. That's when it's that much harder to get going. So let's just keep it in motion.

[00:17:22] Carl Lanore: [00:17:22] And you know, and the, I'm 61 years old, the older I am, even small time off, it's like I come back and I'm like, Oh my God. You know, when you're young, you could train once a month and go in there and just wreak havoc.

[00:17:35] Now, if I take a week off because I have to travel or something, uh, I come back to the gym. It's like I have to start all over again. It's just bizarre.

[00:17:44] Gina Aliotti: [00:17:44] Well, that's part of the reason I'm so consistent is because of that lack of consistency leads to you. Just, you know, that much harder to get going. And I have the self discipline now to get me going, but it is a whole lot harder.

[00:17:55] So I would rather just show up every day and just keep things in motion.

[00:18:00] [00:17:59] Carl Lanore: [00:17:59] Yeah, no, I agree. Does your new app that you're launching, uh, also help moms.

[00:18:06] Gina Aliotti: [00:18:06] Yeah, so it's actually all of my workout. That's really kind of cool because, um, everything that I've been doing since pregnancy is, I've been filming for, gosh, eight, seven, eight years now, and I'm, so all of the workouts that I've been doing have I, there's pictures of nickels, there's videos of Nicolette with me and would say Ben.

[00:18:25] And it's actually really cool. I was reflecting on it recently when I was going through the app. But yes, it's, it's helping moms get back into shape and to making notes, excuses, and, you know, still getting in your workout when your kids are on your back and you're having to just navigate through. But yes, that's exactly, I basically just taken my journey and recorded it.

[00:18:45] And, um. Proof personally and with other people of how it works, and now I'm putting it into one really easy app that people will be able to access and make no excuses. They can still get in their workout no matter where they are, whether they just [00:19:00] deliver it or whether they're eight years post or don't have kids.

[00:19:03] You know? It's really about just making those no excuses and showing up

[00:19:07] Carl Lanore: [00:19:07] every single day. I think that's really, I think that's really wise of you because life is this dynamic. You know, uh, ongoing change. And instead of just making an app for, you know, younger girls who want to become competitors. It's like women have these different stages of life, and pregnancy is one of them.

[00:19:28] So I, I think you're probably the first person I've heard that's actually made an app for women. Like this is an app for women and women get pregnant. That's one of the things women do. So it's, it's, it, it, it fits them as well. If people go to your website, right? It's Gina Aliotti. Okay. Yes, I can get it there now as the, is the app available now or it's going to be a available?

[00:19:50] Gina Aliotti: [00:19:50] Well, any day now, hopefully this week or next week, but any, I've been working hard on it. So now it's just the last minute steps of getting it actually live.

[00:20:00] [00:20:00] Carl Lanore: [00:20:00] Okay. So let's talk a little bit about a diet for a moment. Um, before we take a break, I want to start to move into this discussion. Um, really the, the problem with pregnancy and.

[00:20:11] And body changes and then having to return you get your body to return to where it was before. In my humble opinion, at least some of the literature I've read over the years is that there is this moving target of what is healthy weight gain for pregnancy and now. It's moving towards less where it used to be put on as much weight as you want.

[00:20:32] It's all about the baby. Now we know that when you do that, you make metabolic imprints on that baby that will make that baby end up tend to be obese and insulin resistant. So now we know that well. You don't have to put on as much weight as we thought. There's a lot of different numbers out there. I've heard 23 pounds is all you should gain during pregnancy.

[00:20:53] I've heard 33 what about, what do you think? Do you have any numbers that you could throw at the audience.

[00:20:58] Gina Aliotti: [00:20:58] I'm not really a big numbers guy, [00:21:00] Carl, because I think that, I mean, in general, whether it's on my diet or you've been answering this question, I don't believe in numbers because there's so many variables.

[00:21:06] I mean, there's a lot of people that have a lot of fluid retention, so we can't take that into account. Um, but I would say if we're just talking about weight and then baby, how big is your baby? Like there's so many different variables, but I gained 18 pounds. I like right around there with both my kids and I was eating very healthy.

[00:21:24] I just gained what I needed to gain. You know, I feel like as long as you're eating healthy and balanced, you really don't need to go in the surplus. I think that's completely unnecessary and it's just really putting you, yeah, your baby at risk for later. And also, again, it's the postpartum having to get all that off and I just see the big picture of like.

[00:21:43] It's so much when you become a mom and then, or a mom of two or three or whatever it is, and it's just a lot. And so to have to take off all of that weight is can be, it's not going to be fun when you're trying to adjust to motherhood. So I would say as long as you're [00:22:00] eating a healthy diet and you're making smart choices, that you're going to gain what you need to gain.

[00:22:05] But I don't think that she needs to gain crazy amounts of weight. Absolutely

[00:22:09] Carl Lanore: [00:22:09] not. I mean, when you think about. The baby, the placenta, the amniotic SAC, the maybe altogether it weighs 20 pounds. Let's, let's, let's, I'm just throwing a number out there. I haven't researched this, and so it seems to me that a full term baby, let's say, is going to be.

[00:22:28] Eight pounds. I was, uh, nine pounds, 12 ounces. I was a big baby and I had to be a Syrian because my mother was only five foot tall. But, uh, you know, I, I just don't understand why there's this notion that you have to gain any more weight then the full unrestricted growth, size of final growth, size of your baby in your womb.

[00:22:49] The idea that. You deliver on an eight pound baby, let's say the placenta and and the amniotic fluid is another five or six pounds. Why would you need to put on any [00:23:00] more weight than that? Why would you need body fat on your body for the baby? I know.

[00:23:08] Gina Aliotti: [00:23:08] Yeah. I think it just becomes, it's like, you know, throw in the towel.

[00:23:11] I'm pregnant, and they just, everything goes out the door and I think that that's when the extra weight gain comes into place.

[00:23:17] Carl Lanore: [00:23:17] I actually think some women, they love it. They love the idea that I'm pregnant, I can eat whatever I want, and they're not eating for their baby. They're eating for their own satisfaction.

[00:23:26] They lie to themselves and say, well, I'm eating for two. No, you're eating for six. Yeah. So it's, it's weird. Um, I want to take our first commercial break when we come back, I wanna I want to talk a little bit more about diet. I also want to talk about what movements you think, uh, in the gym are best to do for moms given the fact that they are going to have to deliver a baby hopefully vaginally.

[00:23:49] We just did a show on C-sections and I was, I had, I had really bad odds. I was not only a C-section baby, but my mother smoked. And took [00:24:00] value or no Librium which was the value of the day with her pregnancy with me. So theoretically, I probably have, something's wrong with me as a result of that, but, uh, you know, it's, it's interesting.

[00:24:12] I'd like to talk about what can moms do that would best position them to deliver that baby physically. You know, what, muscle groups and stuff like that. So we're going to do that. Okay. We're going to take one quick commercial break though. The website is Gina aliotti.com. Go there and check it out. We'll be right back with Lauren.

[00:24:31] This is the superhuman channel doing reps with the weight of the world.

[00:24:38] Welcome back. We're talking with Gina Aliotti. It's hard for me to pronounce that cause I grew up. I have a friend whose last name is Aliotti, but in Brooklyn we pronounced it Aliante, but it's like that Boston thing, you know. Yeah,

[00:24:51] Gina Aliotti: [00:24:51] I wouldn't do it as long as I competed. They still said, and now Gina was naughty.

[00:24:58] Carl Lanore: [00:24:58] Yeah. Yeah. [00:25:00] Um, anyway, I want to talk about a new sponsor real quick. So there's something that men and women both do every single day that actually might not be the greatest for you, depending on which one you're using. We put deodorant under our arms where our lymph nodes are, by the way. And, uh, I've searched for a lot of natural.

[00:25:19] Deodorants for a long time. But I've always had problems with different ones. Either they they will hard to apply or they caked up on the my arms, or they just wore out too early. Elisa will tell you, but I manufacture garlic into my arms, and so she says, she could tell me. She goes, well, you stink, but we found a new one.

[00:25:40] It's called native deodorant. And I love it and I want to tell the audience about it. And we actually have a special offer for them as well. First of all, it's aluminum free and paraben-free, which are two big things that you want to stay away from today, especially rubbing them under your arms. Um, they have separate a sense for men and women because guys and girls [00:26:00] don't like to smell the same.

[00:26:01] You know, we, we need different sense. Women have different sense. I have the eucalyptus mint cause I do like eucalyptus reminds me of being in the sauna. Elisa has the coconut vanilla and she loves it, and she's a much more particular, and I bet you're going to relate to this too, Gina, you know, she, she says, I love this stuff because it doesn't cake.

[00:26:22] And sometimes, you know, if you're wearing a black dress or a black top and you've put your deodorant on, and then you put the outfit on, there's like white all over your clothes. Now you've got to get it off. And she says, you know, I can't believe it. It's like every time I use this stuff, it doesn't get all my clothes.

[00:26:38] It goes on really, really easy. It doesn't feel greasy. Some of the other things I've used, I felt like I was rubbing lard underneath my arms and I get it. They're natural. But you know, I don't necessarily want lard on the my arms. Uh, this product is amazing. First of all, all the ingredients in it are edible.

[00:26:55] I mean, if you've been a piece off, it wouldn't affect you negatively. Um, it goes on [00:27:00] easy and it works. I do not stink. In fact, I've forgot to wear it. One day because I went to the gym and I didn't take it. I worked out and I didn't shower and I went on my way and my underarms didn't stink and that was it for me.

[00:27:14] I was like, Oh man. This stuff, like even like, I'm not suggesting people use it every other day, but if you miss a day, you're probably covered. We have a special coupon code. It's super human. You get 20% off. If you go to the website native deodorant.com. That's native deodorant.com use the code superhuman at checkout.

[00:27:32] You'll save 20% off your first order. I promise you. If you use deodorant and you're not happy with it, or it's loaded with chemicals and parabens, you don't want, you don't want parabins and you don't want aluminum. Aluminum actually is designed to clog your sweat pores so you don't sweat. That's like, are you kidding me?

[00:27:52] That's like sticking a potato in your exhaust pipe and trying to drive your car. It doesn't work. So this is great stuff. You, you mentioned you use it, huh?

[00:27:59] Gina Aliotti: [00:27:59] You [00:28:00] mentioned that they were a new sponsor and I was like, I use NEDA. That's exactly why you so I completely agree.

[00:28:07] Carl Lanore: [00:28:07] Yeah. So again,

[00:28:09] Gina Aliotti: [00:28:09] darling, but I would

[00:28:10] Carl Lanore: [00:28:10] totally ignore it.

[00:28:11] Girls. Girls don't stink at all at all. That's the gods. Austrian Italian girls, they smell like flowers all the time. That's the gods. But again, the website is a native deodorant.com. Use the code superhuman at checkout. Save 20% off your first order. Check it out. I guarantee that you'll fall in love with this stuff and never want to use anything else underneath your pits.

[00:28:32] So check it out. So what movements do you think. Are best for a pregnant woman who is thinking about not only delivering a baby, but bouncing back quickly after. I mean, your belly has to really take the biggest hit right.

[00:28:48] Gina Aliotti: [00:28:48] Yeah, so you know, I wish I could say, well, it's this exact exercise, but I, I just feel like keeping it simple, keeping it basic, whatever exercise you're going to do that you're actually going to do, do it.

[00:29:00] [00:29:00] Because I feel like you're building strength no matter whether you're doing a tricep extension or a shoulder press or a side lateral. The two things I did stay away from, or  and any kind of core work, especially like doing planks or crunches, like that's kinda stuff you, there's really no reason to do that.

[00:29:18] However, like being every time I'm really big on mind, muscle connection. So I was always connecting with my core, you know, focusing on keeping my pelvic floor tight. Everything I was, I was big also on visualization, so I was just kind of really. You know, squeezing and just doing a lot of like visual work aside from my physical work of like imagining like labor and breath work.

[00:29:41] And I feel like that is a huge element that may not get enough attention that I feel like really helps me with, with my, with labor and the later part of my pregnancy.

[00:29:51] Carl Lanore: [00:29:51] Yeah, it's interesting because labor is all about your mind. Like if you don't feel like you can handle it, you're gonna wreck yourself during that and you're going to deliver the baby, but it's going to be a [00:30:00] miserable experience.

[00:30:01] But if you have that mind muscle connection, you're like, I can do this, and you're, and you're breathing the right way and it's really amazing. So you're right. I never thought about that.

[00:30:09] Gina Aliotti: [00:30:09] Yeah. I think that like we were talking about movement and just like what you should be doing. I think more than anything, just exercise is going to strengthen that mental game, which is going to make your labor so much better than somebody who doesn't know how to have that mind muscle connection.

[00:30:26] They don't even know how to connect when somebody is saying, okay, they're like

[00:30:33] me where they need to be pushing. So I think that's a huge part of staying active.

[00:30:37] Carl Lanore: [00:30:37] They still have Lamaze classes.

[00:30:39] Gina Aliotti: [00:30:39] Yes. I know they have a lot of that. Those classes, I didn't partake in them. I kind of did my own. I'm kind of self taught, I guess. Yeah. I'm really big on the breath and um, and now I know that that really helped me with, with both of my deliveries.

[00:30:56] Carl Lanore: [00:30:56] Isn't it interesting you said that, you know, you did your own thing, you've, and [00:31:00] so, and I admire that because I feel like we live in a world today. Where people need to read a book for things that used to be not like all of, we've actually lost a lot of our innate abilities. And you know, if you got to read a book to learn how to raise kids, you got an elite, really read a book to learn how to deliver a baby.

[00:31:19] It's like nobody read books back, you know, five, 600 years ago, and they were spitting babies out in the wilderness. Uh, it's amazing that you did that. That's, I, I commend that. That's a lost, that's a lost trait in human population today.

[00:31:33] Gina Aliotti: [00:31:33] Yeah. I couldn't agree with you more. I feel like, I mean, especially, you know, the whole, like everyone has a book on how to raise a child and, and how to do certain things and the right way to do this or that, and there is no right way.

[00:31:45] It really is. If we can just learn to get tap back into ourselves and our intuition and trust ourselves, I think that we have all the answers and we know what to do in our bodies are amazing, but for some reason. You know, we get so sidetracked on what's the [00:32:00] best thing and what we should be doing. And I think that that's really doing us a disservice nowadays.

[00:32:05] Completely.

[00:32:06] Carl Lanore: [00:32:06] So let's talk a little bit about after the delivery. So let's say the mom did the right thing. She only gained maybe 30 pounds during the pregnancy. She's not carrying a lot of body fat, delivers the baby. She gets cleared from her doctor. He says, yeah, you know, you can go back and be active again.

[00:32:23] Go right back to the gym. Just do what you're doing.

[00:32:28] Gina Aliotti: [00:32:28] Yeah. So I think that, um, well I don't go to a gym. So what are you going to a gym or whether you, um, ideally, this is where my home gym really came in handy. You know, some people love the gym and it's going to be realistic for them to escape the house. Maybe they can't self motivate themselves, but I just know for myself that it was really hard.

[00:32:47] To find the time. So if we can have like a little mini set up at our house just to get going and just start, you know, even if it's just 10 minutes, and this is where my whole less is more approach really [00:33:00] kind of started was way back years and years ago when I was like, I didn't have a lot of time, but I knew that for my mental, I needed to do something.

[00:33:08] And now eight plus years later of just that same attitude, I've had the most incredible results, but it was all just about. You know, just getting back and getting that ball back in motion to doing something every single day, even if it's just 10 minutes and you know, it's really easy to make excuses.

[00:33:26] Babies are crying. Oh my gosh, I can only, I can start to even think about all the things that would happen. You start getting going and there'd be a blowout. It's like. It's constant, but you just have to make no excuses and say, this is my 10 minute me time. Then I think the sooner we can start to establish that routine and that consistency, it's just going to continue to carry over.

[00:33:47] So just start, just get the ball going

[00:33:50] Carl Lanore: [00:33:50] again. Where are you able to breastfeed?

[00:33:54] Gina Aliotti: [00:33:54] Yes.

[00:33:55] Carl Lanore: [00:33:55] Don't you? Don't you lose more body fat by breastfeeding? Yes,

[00:34:00] [00:33:59] Gina Aliotti: [00:33:59] that's what they say. I mean, I had a harder time with David, so it didn't last as long, but for Nicoletta was, I went for two years.

[00:34:07] Carl Lanore: [00:34:07] That's great. Yeah. And, and there's a lot of evidence that, uh, you provide a lot of the Omega three fats from your own fat cells to the baby that helps the brain continue to grow outside the womb.

[00:34:20] And I, I, you know, I've done shows on breastfeeding. Because I say if you can, and I not, Oh, I know that not all women can. There's a variety of legitimate reasons why some women just can't, and sometimes it's just. It's just they don't have, they can't, you know, they can't pump. They can't, they don't have any help.

[00:34:37] They're single moms and I get that. Um, but if you can breastfeed, it's not only the best thing in the world for your baby, but it's actually the best thing in the world for you to help regain your body. Cause you women who breastfeed, one of the shows I did, I was astonished, like women who breastfeed lose an average of a pound a week more than women who don't because the body is.

[00:35:00] [00:34:59] Mobilizing that fat into breast milk and the baby is getting it, and so the baby is actually helping you lose weight by sucking the fat out of you. Technically.

[00:35:08] Gina Aliotti: [00:35:08] Right? And I think people that don't lose weight, maybe they realize that they have to, they end up eating more calories because they know that their body's exerting those calories.

[00:35:16] But I do 100% agree that it does help kind of get your body back back in shape again.

[00:35:23] Carl Lanore: [00:35:23] Do you do, now that the children are older, do they watch mom trained and when they were young, did you bring them into the home gym while you trained and maybe put them on your legs to do movements and stuff like that?

[00:35:35] Gina Aliotti: [00:35:35] Yes. I mean, I'm so grateful that I've documented all this because sometimes I forget, and like I was saying, going through the app and all the different videos, you know, you see Nicolette and then me grabbing her and getting into doing my squats and half of, you know, putting her on my shoulders or rocking in the stroller as I'm doing lunches.

[00:35:52] So they, they don't know any different. I, I have had them in a baby, a rap, a war rap a lot. And I just, I just, some people, their babies [00:36:00] stopped their life. My baby works into my life. So I just kept going and it's been the best thing ever because I do feel like I want them to just learn through watching and not necessarily me trying to teach or preach to them.

[00:36:13] Um, and now, you know, when I'm doing my stuff, they just, Oh, mom's working out again. Oh, you're doing your Tabata. Yep. I'm so, I'm doing mine.

[00:36:21] Carl Lanore: [00:36:21] That's great. Yeah. And so you know what's going to happen when they get older. They're gonna want to train too. They're going to want to stay active. That gift will change their lives because when they're, when they're older and they're adults, they're going to talk about how their mom used to work out with them.

[00:36:36] And that's why they work out. I, you know, I actually have chills right now cause you know, as parents, we just want to give our children the tools to have. To be able to have a great life. And one of the greatest tools that is not given wasn't really given to me. Uh, that's not true. My father did signed me up for boxing, so that was a good thing, but he didn't [00:37:00] want me to get my, my block knocked off two minutes too often in Brooklyn.

[00:37:03] But you know, that's something that you can give your child to love. Physical culture that will serve them for the rest of their lives and they will give it to their child and someday they'll say, well, you know, great, great grandma or Gina. She used to do that. So it's a wonderful thing what you're doing.

[00:37:21] It's a legacy that you're passing on by doing that, and it's good for the kids and good for you. Did I lose you, Gina? I think we lost her. I think I'm going to take my, uh, next commercial break now. Yeah, so here's what to do. We're going to take a quick commercial break, and when we come back, we'll have her reconnect.

[00:37:38] Stay tuned. These things happen. Spit that out right now. This is the superhuman channel.

[00:37:53] Welcome back. Here's her pretty face again. Okay. Uh, [00:38:00] yeah, we, we, these things happen. That's what we have commercial breaks. That's what we invented them. So, uh, after this, uh, interview at the top of the hour, uh, those of you who were here last week, when I talked about the two studies that show, um, that vitamin D increases LL three, seven, and LL three seven actually keeps, uh, viruses from replicating.

[00:38:23] And then I got an email from somebody and they said, well, Corona virus is just like Ebola and HIV. It's a reverse transcripted virus. Well, I found the study that shows that elevating LL three seven actually keeps HIV from replicating. So those of you who are concerned about a Corona viruses stay, stay with me at the top of the hour.

[00:38:43] I'm going to add that study to the mix and talk about that because there's really very, very good science from Harvard that shows that, uh. This could work for you. So I think when we got dropped off, we were talking about training and the effects it has on the children and the legacy [00:39:00] that you are promoting.

[00:39:01] And then Jennifer, uh, McClung Bray said that her teenage boys and now working out with her, which is a wonderful thing. I mean, that's, I think that's, that's so wonderful.

[00:39:11] Gina Aliotti: [00:39:11] Hello. Hi, Jennifer. Um, I, so that's actually where I started, Carl. My dad introduced me to the wait. So that's how I got started. And, and I just think it's so important because it's like the sooner you can do it, your kids just don't know any different.

[00:39:25] And that's really how you're going to create those lifelong habits.

[00:39:30] Carl Lanore: [00:39:30] You could teach your children a lot of bad habits, but this is a good one that you can actually teach them and carry them through their lives. I want to just plug your, uh, your app real quick. Once again before we get to the top of the hour here.

[00:39:41] It's a G fit by Gina Aliotti and you can get it at her website, Gina aliotti.com if you're, depending on when you're listening to this show, it's either been released or it's going to be released very shortly, so you may have to check back, but you start at the website. And after you do what you have to do at the website, you'll be transported to a [00:40:00] one to one of the app platforms where you can download it.

[00:40:03] And this is an app for women. And I, I'm, you know. This is really an app for women, uh, all the different stages of a woman's life. Uh, this app is going to help you, uh, keep in shape and take care of yourself. And it's not, it really isn't about what you look like, what you look like as the outside representation of how healthy and fit you are.

[00:40:24] And the healthier and fitter you are, not only the longer you will live, there are direct correlations between muscle mass and women up to 60 years old and men 65. The California VA did some wonderful studies. They showed that strong men live longer. So there's lots of good research out there that shows that more muscle, more strength.

[00:40:47] The longer you maintain it, the longer you live. But now we're starting to see studies that show it confers health. So not only will you live to be 90 and a hundred but you'll actually be able to enjoy your life. At 90 and a [00:41:00] hundred instead of being in an institution, you know, filling a diaper and waiting for someone to turn the TV on for you and the playroom.

[00:41:07] So this is, this is not about vanity. You know, people liked it. I had so many people back in the day when I started doing this. They were like, Oh, you just want to look young. No, man, I want to be strong and I want to live long. And I have challenges. I mean, I have some health challenges, but I keep them at Bay because of this lifestyle.

[00:41:27] Gina Aliotti: [00:41:27] And that's exactly what my training and what the app is all about. And currently my membership program, which is turning into the app, is about, it's like, to me, yes, I'm going to help you get the best shape ever. You're going to have a phenomenal body if you follow the workouts and you call the diet. But to me it's more than that.

[00:41:43] It's about building that confidence. It's about keeping. Women showing up every single day, especially moms, and I have a whole section dedicated to mindset and mantras and all the things that I exercise on a daily basis that keep me showing up. So it's about showing [00:42:00] up when you're hot mess, you know?

[00:42:02] It's like, how do we keep showing up when life happens? Whether you just had a baby or. Later down the road, you know there's things that happened and you fall off the wagon, but how do you get back on and how do we build that consistency and that grit? And that's really what I'm about. I'm not about the short term, so if you want the short term, I'm not for you, but if you want the long term, then this is what it's about.

[00:42:23] It's about building that inside out that's going to get you the results, helping maintain the results and helping feel good while doing it.

[00:42:31] Carl Lanore: [00:42:31] Was the second pregnancy easier for you than the first.

[00:42:36] Gina Aliotti: [00:42:36] They were, I hate to say it, but they both were. Right. Amazing. I mean, I really dedicate that to the lifestyle.

[00:42:43] I really, really do.

[00:42:45] Carl Lanore: [00:42:45] No, I mean, it makes perfect sense. It really does. I was just curious, you know, some, some babies are bigger and that sort of thing, and you know, I didn't know, but, but obviously being in great shape before you're pregnant is the best way to do it. So those of you [00:43:00] out there who aren't pregnant.

[00:43:02] Maybe you're not even married yet. This is the time to build a foundation because again, it's not about how you look, it's about your body working for you. In all the events that task your body and delivering a baby is one of those. Carrying a baby is one of those. I mean, look, if you are somebody who, who likes to put on a weight vest and and go for a run in the park, what do you think 20 pounds is going to do to you when you're carrying it in your belly?

[00:43:28] You're not going to be phased by it as much because you're used to the, the, the wiring in your brain becomes accustomed to carrying. So there's a lot of value in this and. I love when I see pregnant women at the gym, I always go up to them and I say something positive to them because I know inside their head, a lot of people are looking at them, especially the older women, like their freaks.

[00:43:49] Like, what are you doing? You're crazy. You're going to hurt your baby. No, you're not gonna hurt your baby. You're actually going to endow your baby with gifts that will last well beyond your lifespan. And, uh, [00:44:00] it's a wonderful thing, really is

[00:44:02] Gina Aliotti: [00:44:02] you're really angry.

[00:44:03] Carl Lanore: [00:44:03] So, um, the app. Is for women no matter where, what phase of life they're at, but obviously if they're pregnant, they can get this app and now's the time to do it.

[00:44:13] If you just found out you're pregnant.

[00:44:15] Gina Aliotti: [00:44:15] Right? Yeah. And I have a whole pregnancy plan as well that's dedicated to each trimester with the diets or diets throughout for each week of the pregnancy, along with homeboy with workouts that go with each one, plus pregnancy tips, all the things I did, recipes, so that's really great for pregnant moms.

[00:44:32] But yeah, the opposite is amazing because. It has short and effective workouts. Sometimes they're 10 minutes long, and my whole mantra is just to get people on their mat to get people in the gym or home gym, which is what I do. And to just prove that it doesn't take a lot, but it's going to take you be consistent.

[00:44:50] So I walk everyone through each and every workout. I'm like, you're your trainer, right? They're showing you. Proper form helping you dig deep, and then it has [00:45:00] nutrition as well. So it's really your one stop shop for moms, moms specifically, who just are like, ah, I need some things. I help me.

[00:45:09] Carl Lanore: [00:45:09] Uh, but staying with mom just for a second, I would imagine protein intake is important for moms.

[00:45:14] If you're building tissue for a human being inside you, not having enough protein in your diet probably is not a good idea.

[00:45:21] Gina Aliotti: [00:45:21] Right? I kept, you know, I kept my diet pretty much the same. I do carb cycling, um, on a typical like day to day, but when I was pregnant, I really just listened to my body. I was a little bit more consistent with like just keeping good, healthy foods throughout.

[00:45:35] I always kept my protein up and consistent and then I added in some fun extras. Like. Fruits a little bit more regularly and Greek yogurt. I'm not a huge dairy person, but I just didn't want to deprive my baby at anything because I feel like that's when potential intolerances can come in when you remove one macro or one specific food.

[00:45:55] Carl Lanore: [00:45:55] Well, and especially what we know now about microbes and gut. Bacteria [00:46:00] and all that sort of stuff. You know, the babies that have like, because I was a C-section baby, I was not endowed with the microbiota gift from my mother, and so I literally was imprinted with a future life of allergies. And it's, you know, and I had them early on, I had horrible allergies.

[00:46:17] I had to see an allergist before I started grade school. I was seeing an allergist. That's because I was delivered that way. So you're right. You know, eating things, fermented foods that have those good microbes in them that confers to the baby as

[00:46:30] Gina Aliotti: [00:46:30] well. Right. Yeah, I'm really big on that. So the things that I do now, carb cycling, when I was pregnant, I, I was very much, every day, was very balanced with my macros and um, yeah, I incorporated all those foods that maybe I don't need as frequently now, but I was very mindful that makes sure that I have them while I was pregnant.

[00:46:49] Carl Lanore: [00:46:49] Last question before we end this interview. Uh, is it important for women to focus on eating organic vegetables and fruits?

[00:46:55] Gina Aliotti: [00:46:55] You think. Um, you know, there's the typical organic [00:47:00] few that, um, like the thin skin that I always try to buy organic when I can, but I also think sometimes that is farm to table is the best way as much as you can, but sometimes organic.

[00:47:13] Um, if it's a finger scan, I don't really care about it. You know, I just feel like do the best you can buy organic when it's on sale, but. Get more focused on eating all around good foods and be less concerned about necessarily has to be organic. I'd rather see somebody have somebody eat something from the ground that's not organic than to be so focused on organic

[00:47:35] Carl Lanore: [00:47:35] and if people are interested.

[00:47:37] Inorganic. You don't have to buy everything organic. As you're pointing out, like avocados. You don't have to buy organic bananas. You don't have to buy organic, but if you're confused about that, there's a website called environmental working group. They go by the letters EWG, and they have two lists. It's called the dirty dozen and the clean 15 but that list has grown.

[00:47:55] When it first came out, it was 12 and 15 it's much more, but if you go to their [00:48:00] website, you can look and see like things like mushrooms. You don't have to buy organic. They literally grow overnight. They're not spraying him with anything. So there's a lot of foods you don't have to buy organic, but then there's some like citrus and Apple that they recommend because they are very, very heavily sprayed crops and they get absorbed into the flesh of the fruit through the root system.

[00:48:20] But yeah, environmental working group is very valuable. Very, very

[00:48:23] Gina Aliotti: [00:48:23] right. And I love the farmer's markets. You always know you're going to get the good stuff and then supplement with the things that you don't necessarily need to get. Organic is pretty much how my rule is. Huh.

[00:48:31] Carl Lanore: [00:48:31] Gina, thanks so much for being here today.

[00:48:34] Thank

[00:48:34] Gina Aliotti: [00:48:34] you so much, Carl. This was so fun.

[00:48:36] Carl Lanore: [00:48:36] Let's do it again soon. Okay.

[00:48:41] Oh, we're going to take a quick commercial break. When we come back, I'm going to do an update on what you can do to protect yourself from the uh, coronavirus. So stay tuned. We'll be right back. We're superheroes. This is this superhuman channel.

[00:48:59] Fuck it back. [00:49:00] So last week, um, for those of you who didn't hear this already, and you're tuning in just for Gina's interview, I'm going to kind of go over some of this stuff real quick. So last week I talked about a couple of studies that point to the fact that a LL three, seven, a, uh, catalyst Citadine peptide that humans produce, eh, which is the major.

[00:49:28] Antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral portion of our immune system, um, may actually be effective against. Covert 19. And so I cited two studies. One of them was from Harvard. One of them was from, uh, from, uh, I want to say Boston. Uh, let me see. I'll tell ya, I want to, I want to be accurate with this stuff. One of them was from Harvard.

[00:49:53] One of them was from Boston university school of medicine. Uh, the, the one from Boston school of medicine showed that. [00:50:00] Uh, LL three, seven, uh, effectively stopped the replication of a variety of viruses, including influenza. And a lot of people don't want to inject LL three, seven. I do for other reasons. It got rid of my CBO.

[00:50:17] For me, it was very effective for that. But. Not everybody wants to go over to the dark side and inject something. So I thought, you know, I, I remember a study showing that, uh, that sun exposure to sun and upregulation of vitamin D from sun, which is D three increased LL three seven LL three seven is actually a downstream metabolite of.

[00:50:41] Vitamin D three a cold calciferol. And so I thought, gee, I wonder if there's any evidence that I can point that that shows effectively that vitamin D raises LL three seven. And I found a really good study from Harvard that showed that, uh, in an ICU [00:51:00] intensive care unit. Where people had sepsis, and keep in mind, sepsis has as high as a 50% mortality rate, 50% up to 50% of the people who get sepsis blood poisoning, uh, they die from it.

[00:51:15] It's very serious. It's like, it comes on fast. Some people remember, we used to call it toxic shock. Um, but, but they die. And so there was a study of a small group of people, 30 people who were given 200,000 IUs. Of oral vitamin D three and they all lived number one and when they checked their LL three sevens before and LL three seven after that bowl is dosed, there was a huge rise in production of LL three seven so I thought, okay, wait a minute.

[00:51:48] So this means if LL three seven protects against viruses. And things like influenza by stopping the replication of the virus because once you stop the [00:52:00] replication, you're not going to get sick. There's a lot of people walking around with viruses that they never have symptoms that nobody knew they were sick.

[00:52:07] They had viruses because they never had symptoms. This is even true of HIV. We all know that there's people out there like magic Johnson who have the HIV virus but never succumb to it, and they never developed symptoms. Uh, and so I thought, gee, this is interesting. So this group received 200,000 IUs, which is an insanely large dose, but you would, you could actually produce that much vitamin D if you went to the beach for the weekend and laid in the sun two days in a row.

[00:52:39] I mean, that's, I know people who carry those daytime D timer apps where you, when you, you, you, you pointed at the sky gas and it tells you how long you're out in the sun and it tells you how much vitamin D your body just produced. And most of all, tell me, well, you know, if I spend the weekend at the beach, I produce over 200,000 I use of, of [00:53:00] vitamin D, so 200,000 I'll use orally in one day.

[00:53:03] Isn't, isn't going to hurt anybody. But it showed that the, the, the rise in LL three, seven was huge, but then it was pointed out to me by, uh, a guy named, uh, Oh God, I'm gonna forget his name. Brian Moscow. Um, he's a chemist, uh, very, very intelligent, highly intelligent chemist. And he, uh, said, you know, Carl, um, the covert 19 is not.

[00:53:31] The kind of virus like influenza is in fact, it's a reverse transcripted virus like AIDS. And I think Ebola is also a reverse transcripted virus. He said, so that study really is not effective in treating covert 19 and I was like, Aw man, I'm sad to hear that. Say it for myself. And say it for the people that I told about it, but then I did some digging and I just, I did an NIH search of LL three [00:54:00] seven reverse transcripted virus, and you're not going to believe of the first one that came up.

[00:54:05] There's three of them, but the first one that came up was from the department of medicine at Karolinska university in Stockholm, Sweden, where they showed that LL three seven halted the transcription of HIV. Now think about that for a second. Are you kidding me? I mean, we can use injectable ELO three, seven people who have HIV need to know about that.

[00:54:29] But that's a different story. So now I sent this study to Brian on Facebook, and he looked at and he goes, wow, this is a huge fine. This is really great stuff. So. Back to the original, uh, statement. Uh, taking high doses of vitamin D will increase LL three, seven, and  appears to have the ability to stop the replication of reverse transcripted viruses like covert 19.

[00:54:58] Now, [00:55:00] I don't want to be like a snake oil salesman. I got nothing invested here. I don't have any stock in sundown or vitamin D or anything like that. I'm not selling anything. I'm just promoting an idea. And I want to be careful not to sound like some loony tune here, but this is pretty exciting when you think about it.

[00:55:20] So dark skin people have to take more vitamin D than light-skin people to get the same effect because we have more of the binding protein that binds up. Uh, the D three, the 25 hydroxy actually. And so theoretically, if you take high doses of vitamin D. You could be protected from the covert 19 so then I thought to myself, well, look, vitamin D originally came from the sun.

[00:55:50] That's really where it comes from. Not, you know, we're not taking vitamin D a hope a whole populations aren't taking vitamin D. so I thought, well, [00:56:00] if there's any truth to this. Then I should be able to find a study that shows that people who live closer to the equator and get more sun theoretically should have less, uh, viral outbreaks.

[00:56:17] And sure enough, there's one on the NIH website they will looking for, um, they will looking for house viruses spread in countries close to the equator. And they chose Brazil because Brazil is about the same size as the United States, but it's a long country, and the North most part is right on the equator.

[00:56:42] But the further South you go, you get further and further away from the equator. Now, the North most part is the most densely populated. All the big cities they say in this study are in Brazil, and the way virus is spreading in the United States. [00:57:00] Is the highly dense populated cities. They have the highest community outbreaks because it's being passed along from person to person in such close proximity on trains and buses and in buildings and so on.

[00:57:15] But what the study showed was. It wasn't population driven viruses like influenza, but instead, the further South you went, I. E. the further you got away from the brighter sunlight, the higher the viral. Uh, um, uh, contagion was so in the rural areas all the way down in South Brazil, people have more viruses passed along than in the highly populated cities in the North.

[00:57:43] This is counterintuitive. It's like, no, I thought it was because. People live closer together and they're sharing, sharing the same air, they're touching the same things, and that's how it's transmitted. And in fact, it's not that way in this particular paper from the [00:58:00] NIH. So then I started to think more. I thought, you know, there's a lot of people right now that have the covert 19 virus.

[00:58:10] There's some of them in quarantine that never had any, any symptoms, but they have to keep them in quarantine any way. And then we talk about non travel-related transmission. So the idea is, well, yeah, if you went to China or you went to a country where they have a large outbreak of the virus and you come back to the United States, sure you, you, you're sick, you have it, but you got it because you traveled to the place.

[00:58:34] It was, it didn't come to us. But now we're starting to see outbreaks in cities where there's quote unquote no travel link, but how do we know that? What if the person who traveled. Got contaminated by the virus, but they never developed symptoms, so they never knew. They had the virus and they come in contact with somebody whose immune system isn't as [00:59:00] robust and they give it to them.

[00:59:01] They would be like, well, have you been in China lately? No. Have you been to Italy? No. Have you been to Iran? No. Have you? So you, this is not a travel related, but it is in fact travel related because the person who gave it to them went to one of those countries, but that person never developed symptoms.

[00:59:17] The a woman from the CDC said yesterday on the news that not everybody develops symptoms. The people who are have higher health risks. They said people with diabetes, because they have all sorts of metabolic arrangement. They have kidney problems, they have heart problems, they're at risk. But healthy people could be infected.

[00:59:39] The woman said and never develop symptoms. So wait a minute, are you telling me. That there could be thousands of people out there who actually have covert 19 but they never developed symptoms so they don't know it. And they're coming in contact with other people, and some of those people are frail and they're going to get it, and they're going to say, Oh, it's not travel-related because this person never left the [01:00:00] country in 30 years, and they got it.

[01:00:02] So you got to think about this for a second. There's real potential here to understand how this virus is going to be transmitted and what we can actually do to protect ourselves against it. Cause remember all the people high up working on this as saying, well, it's probably seasonal. As soon as the weather warms up, it's not going to be here anymore.

[01:00:24] Well wait a minute. Is it the ambient temperature or is it the fact that the sun is out? Again, most of us live in, in States like myself where we don't really see the sun for months, and when it does come out, it comes out for a little while, but a too cold to take your shirt off and lay in it. But then when we get closer to the warm weather, you know, people wear a tee shirts and shorts, they're getting sun exposure, and miraculously that's when these viruses like flu, influenza seem to subside.

[01:00:52] What if in fact. The susceptibility to develop influenza or a [01:01:00] viral infection like covert 19 has more to do with your 25 hydroxy levels than anything else, then that means that it would be very simple for people to supplement in the winter like I do in lay in the sun in the summer, assuming assuming the stupid dermatologist get out of the way and stop their nonsense about, Oh, you're going to get skin cancer.

[01:01:20] That's a whole nother issue. It's nonsense. We never got skin cancer for millions of years when we lived out under the sun. Now all of a sudden it's given a skin cancer. Nobody asks the right questions. That's the God's honest truth. So the takeaway of all this is in fact that LL three seven will protect you from developing a reverse transcripted.

[01:01:43] Virus like HIV, like Ebola, and like covert 19. And the easiest way to raise your LL free seven levels is to supplement with vitamin D three every single day. I take 20,000, I use a day [01:02:00] during the winter and I lay in the sun in the summer. As all of you know, I mean, I get so dark, it's, it's ridiculous. Uh, I lay in the sun.

[01:02:07] Uh, in the summertime, every chance I get at least three or four days a week, I'm out there for a couple of hours. And that's really the best answer to be honest with you. So think about this. Are you taking vitamin D right now? It's one of the least expensive supplements in the world. If you're fair skin, you could probably get away with 5,000.

[01:02:25] I'll use a day. If you're dark skinned like me, you may have to take 10 to 20. Have your vitamin D levels tested, go to any lab test now, or one of these. Retail places where you walk in, they draw your blood and they email you the results two days later and have your 25 hydroxy levels tested. Make sure they're well above 40 at least in the fifties and sixties and your LL three seven levels will endogenously be higher and you'll be protected against viruses.

[01:02:54] Think about that. How simple is that now. Will it save people who are infected? We don't know yet. [01:03:00] Somebody needs to do a study. Somebody needs to take some of these people who are infected and give them 200,000 IUs of vitamin D three a day for a week and see what happens. But in the meantime, keep your vitamin D levels high.

[01:03:14] Okay. That's all I got for today. Sorry if I'm yelling. I've been told I talk too loud. But, uh, it's an important message. Now, tomorrow we're actually going to have Ryan Smith from pep, uh, from a TaylorMade pharmacy come in and talk about LL three, seven, four, covert 19 plus some other peptides that would also be helpful in protecting.

[01:03:36] So if you're really worried, there's answers here, you just got to step up and try him. So tune in tomorrow if you're really worried about covert 19 and we'll talk to you then. Thank you for listening today and have a great day. [01:04:00]
