[00:00:00] Carl Lanore: [00:00:00] welcome back to another episode of super human radio. Today is March 24th as we dive deeper and deeper into the quarantine period of this historic time in global history, and that is the covert 19. Corona virus pandemic. I am fortunate to be able to continue to work because none of you can sneeze in my face while I work because we are separated by technology in this wonderful little high Def camera here.

[00:00:31] And you don't have to smell my breath either, but you can hear my voice and it's triumphant because we will not only get through this, but we'll be better for it. Um. I have to thank our title sponsor legendary foods. You know, a lot of people right now are literally backing out. I've had sponsors say, Hey, we want to hold off on our campaign.

[00:00:55] Or they've said things like, uh, you know, um. We [00:01:00] think it's a bad time to start advertising and nothing is further from the truth. In fact, what we've learned in the past, from other periods of time where there has been, uh, there, there, there has been some question about commerce and the economy is that those who kept promoting their products kept seeing sales and those who backed off didn't see sales.

[00:01:25] And it's companies like legendary foods who are unabashedly provide support to this show so that I can continue to do my job every single day in my lonesome little studio separated from the world. Uh, I am sequestered. I'm quarantined in this, this foam covered room. Uh, but it's the company's like a legendary food.

[00:01:47] And,

[00:01:48] Coach Rob Regish: [00:01:48] uh, uh.

[00:01:49] Carl Lanore: [00:01:49] Um, Rob ruggish, who's going to be on in a second with his company, uh, and his supplements that continue to support the show. So that many of you who are home today, uh, [00:02:00] not working, like Patrick Rogers is excited to be able to listen live today and we're excited that he's here cause he's my bro.

[00:02:07] Um, we have a lot of behind the scenes activity as it relates to hunting and shooting guns and strong man stuff and planting gardens. And, uh, Patrick is one of the people in this audience that I hope to be able to spend more time with, uh, someday. But you know. Right now. A lot of people afraid a lot of uncertainty.

[00:02:27] It doesn't have to be uncertainty. If you disappear now, your customers will forget you. And now it's even more important, uh, to stay prominent in their ears and eyes, uh, through these difficult times. So without further delay, I will role coach Rob's music and bring him and to calling all

[00:02:47] Coach Rob Regish: [00:02:47] blueprint army fall in line.

[00:02:50] Carl Lanore: [00:02:50] It's time for

[00:02:51] Coach Rob Regish: [00:02:51] the blueprint power hour with coach Rob Ray Gish on the superhuman radio network.

[00:03:00] [00:03:00] Carl Lanore: [00:03:00] Rob, how is covert 19 in Massachusetts?

[00:03:04] Coach Rob Regish: [00:03:04] Well, the mayor just called of my town and he said, um, they are aware of five cases that we know about. Anyway, but you know what, I would echo, first of all, I want to commend you on staying open for business, um, because that's a very important thing, I think as we work our way through this.

[00:03:24] But secondly, um, and perhaps even more importantly, I will second. What you said about staying open for business is, especially our business, because you have a whole bunch of people at home right now with a lot of time on their hands and watching the news about how many people are dying and so forth is not very constructive.

[00:03:48] So they're exercising, but a large number of them, um, need guidance and on how to do that. And even for the ones that don't, that are veterans. What do you do? [00:04:00] Uh, when your gym closes and now you've got to work out at home. So I am certainly staying open for business. I'm glad you are. And, and let's hope we get through this

[00:04:11] Carl Lanore: [00:04:11] sooner.

[00:04:11] People and people need to connect connection, right? So right now we're stuck in our homes with our families. And, and we do want to stay connected and social media. I'm sure, like I, I've read articles about there are so many people home during the day that internet bandwidth has to be adjusted there. Uh, those, um, service providers actually reducing the quality of their bandwidth, the throughput, so that more people can be on at the same time and not get denials of service.

[00:04:42] Uh, but also, you know, people online. Looking to do things. Streaming TV shows, you know, Elisa and I did a show on Friday and we actually took advantage of some of the things that we suggested. You know, you can, right now, you can go to met opera dot. Oregon. You can watch for free. [00:05:00] Metropolitan opera is on your TV at home or your iPad or your phone.

[00:05:04] Uh, there's a lot of things that require you to be on your computer, that are entertaining, that allow you to feel like, well, you know, time well spent. I'm not stuck at home. And this show I hope is one of them. I hope people tune in, live or download the podcast and listen, we are seeing our download stats.

[00:05:22] So usually we have a 30 day LA, uh, band, uh, download history. We're seeing it like right at the front, as soon as the show drops, people are downloading it. It's because they're home and they're looking to catch up on things that they enjoy and do things that they enjoy. So  this is a wonderful opportunity.

[00:05:41] I, I'm so fortunate that I can keep doing what I'm doing and I don't work for a company that says, Hey, you're not essential. Stay home. Uh, but a lot of people are stuck at home right now and they need things to do, and this is a great way to spend your time.

[00:05:54] Coach Rob Regish: [00:05:54] Yeah. Like I said before, it's a constructive use of your time.

[00:05:58] And you know, there's not a [00:06:00] lot you can control today, but certainly training is one of them.

[00:06:03] Carl Lanore: [00:06:03] So on that note, you have now migrated a thousand pounds of weight into your basement. You and Jen are training at home now. Talk a little bit about that.

[00:06:12] Coach Rob Regish: [00:06:12] Well, um, so last week. We showed up at the gym, we being myself, my son and his friend who I trained a couple of days a week, and we were informed that the board of health was closing them down.

[00:06:26] And so, uh, you know, the kids were on a, let's say, a 12 workout program. Then our already put six. Six hard weeks into it. Um, but I will say this, and I'll talk a little bit more about it later in the, in the tip of the day, within 24 hours, so finding out that it was going to close, I had a home gym waiting in the wings.

[00:06:50] A a thousand pounds of free weights in the cellar and just about everything I need to make gains. And I'll tell you, um, for someone like me [00:07:00] who's very important, you know, physical activity of the gym is very important to my mental health. This is going to be a lifesaver and I suspect for other people as well.

[00:07:11] Carl Lanore: [00:07:11] And you know what? More people are going to start training at home. I predict too, there's two things that I'm going to predict are going to happen. Every Starbucks is closed. People are going to go for the next two or three weeks without coffee. They're going to find out their stomachs feel better without coffee, their guts feel better.

[00:07:30] They're going to give up coffee and caffeine. Starbucks is going to come back into the market. They're going to have half the customers they had when they, when they left, and it's a good thing for the population. I really predict that because caffeine, I got a good friend, Billy Mitchell. Um, he had trouble with his sleep.

[00:07:47] We kept talking about caffeine, caffeine, caffeine. He finally gave up caffeine. He sleeping great again. So many of us have impaired sleep and we just chalk it up to, that's part of life. [00:08:00] And once they stopped drinking caffeine, it could take anywhere from a day to a week. All of a sudden your sleep just gets perfect again.

[00:08:07] Um, so number one, that's one thing. One second, Rob. So yeah, coffee has gone, caffeine has gone. Number two, more people are going to start training at home. Their style of training is going to change as a result of it, and they're going to actually embark on a completely new way of training. And a lot of them won't need the gyms as much as they did before.

[00:08:26] Those are the two things I think that are going to come out of this.

[00:08:29] Coach Rob Regish: [00:08:29] Yeah, I would agree with that. Absolutely. And the other point is with, uh, with. Improved. Sleep comes improved immunity. It goes the other way. Unfortunately, if you're not sleeping well and using a lot of caffeine, then look, defense number one in this COBIT 19 thing is your immune system.

[00:08:50] You need to make sure you're getting a good night's sleep.

[00:08:54] Carl Lanore: [00:08:54] Sleep is so underrated. I so with that being the case, let's go ahead and start with the first question. The [00:09:00] first question comes from . Ernie Abbott's. He says, my gym clothes, and I'm kicking myself for not setting up a home gym sooner. What's worse is I have a low ceiling, just a little bit over six feet tall.

[00:09:14] What do I buy first? What do I buy second?

[00:09:21] Coach Rob Regish: [00:09:21] Yeah. I, I listen the number of questions I'm getting along these lines, but you know, the home gym thing is astronomical. I selected this one. Because he really did have, um, um, you know, minimum amount of space challenge, a challenge, very low ceiling. So, so this answer will work for virtually anyone. Um, and if you have more space than, you know, more power to you.

[00:09:44] But, uh, like I said, the gym closing, especially for those of us who. Who have, you know, trained for years. It's very disconcerting because we don't know when they'll reopen. Eventually they will, but we [00:10:00] just don't know. A home gym is a wise investment. It is always open. It's never crowded, and they always play the music that you like.

[00:10:09] It's always been a smart move. Um, and there were other reasons behind that. You know, there's no commute. There's no need to wait for equipment. Uh, and it brings the idiot factor down to zero if you're, if you've got a lot of them in your gym. So, um, I would tell you the first thing to buy if you haven't already, is a copy of convict conditioning.

[00:10:34] Knowledge is power and having knowledge about how to work your entire body without weights. Is extremely important. I've been harping on this for years on this show, and specifically that book, because I do think it's the best of the bunch. Um, but that would be number one on my list. Number two, I would buy a trap bar.

[00:10:57] Uh, and if you're really strong, buy it [00:11:00] with, uh, the extended length sleeves. Most of the sleeves that you slide the weight plates on are 10 inches on trap bars. Uh, which is enough for let's say, 500 pounds of resistance. Uh, if you're, if you're dead lifting more than that, then certainly the 13 and 17 inch ones, uh, are recommended.

[00:11:20] The 13 inch one that I have, 13 and a half, it does hold right around a thousand pounds. So about 10, 45, that's more weight than right. Anybody's going to be so, um, if in the, in the reason I recommend that trap bar is very simple. If you had to use only one lift to build muscle for the rest of your life, it would be the trap bar.

[00:11:44] Because it, first of all, it works the most muscle tissue. It is the optimal, uh, uh, let's say you get the best of both the squat and deadlift, and therefore, even if you just did two sets of trap bar dead lifts [00:12:00] twice a week. I would dare say you would at least keep the muscle that you have and a lot of folks, shockingly would put on muscle.

[00:12:09] Third, I would get a 300 pound weight set. For most people. That's enough. But you know, it's a good baseline and it allows you to do just about everything you do for you would need to do rather for upper and lower body. Yard sales are probably your best friend, especially this time of year or Craigslist.

[00:12:31] Um, you should never pay more than about a buck a pound at point of sale. Obviously, if you're paying for shipping and they're delivering it, you'll pay a little more. But that's, that's the general area. If you start paying more than, you know, two bucks a pound, you're getting gouged. Fourth, I would find yourself a, a good, sturdy, adjustable bench.

[00:12:54] A fifth, I would buy a pair of spotter racks. So what these are is [00:13:00] essentially, um, pillars, if you will, that you should buy him rated up to about a thousand pounds. And these pillars are adjustable in height, right from around 22 to 37, some 37 inches. Some go a lot higher. Uh, you got about six foot ceilings.

[00:13:20] So these are going to be your best option and they're not a bad option. It just takes a little right. Jerry rigging of the, of the, uh, setup. The nice part about them is that they come as two pieces, which means you can space them as wide or as narrow as you need to be. And that's important because if you're going to do something like, let's say.

[00:13:45] A top range rack poles with a trap bar. Then you need a set up where your pillars are closer in. Because if they're further out, yeah, you can put, you know, you can rest it on the weights sleeves. Now you can't load weight on there, [00:14:00] so, right. So what good is it. Um, I'm a big fan of power blocks or similar adjustable dumbbells.

[00:14:07] Carl Lanore: [00:14:07] I have power blocks, uh, adjustable dumbbells, and I have power block adjustable kettlebells.

[00:14:13] Coach Rob Regish: [00:14:13] Oh, nice.

[00:14:14] Carl Lanore: [00:14:14] Who must have for your home dream?

[00:14:16] Coach Rob Regish: [00:14:16] I mean, it replaces an entire rack of weights and, and you know, it might look expensive initially. But price out even 50 cents a pound, dumbbells, 50 to a hundred or five to a hundred pounds rather, and you'll find out real fast.

[00:14:31] It's a bargain. So over time, you can add other odds and ends like bands and chains if you want. Um, the bands in particular are good. If you can only write OCO, afford let's say, 300 pounds of free weights, eh, the, the bands are going to add a lot of resistance with, uh. With virtually no financial outlet. So, um, you can also get creative by adding them to, to certain other [00:15:00] dumbbell and barbell movements.

[00:15:01] And for that matter, body weight. Uh, there's an entire section, I think in the book, dinosaur body weight training on how to add dance. So, so here you are, you've got your home gym, ideally to me, two workouts a week. Um, maybe one focusing on body weight work and the other one on heavy weighted movements. I would, you know, do not go overboard.

[00:15:26] And remember this, uh, Jim's usefulness is usually inversely proportional to the number of machines and other junk that it has. Body weight work and lifting real weights builds the most muscle. By far, always have always, well, those are my recommendations for a home gym. Good stuff. Good stuff.

[00:15:49] Carl Lanore: [00:15:49] By the way, Tommy D, I will get to your question.

[00:15:53] We're going to go through three questions that we were sent in. First, go to a break, and when we come back, we're going to talk about your question [00:16:00] about an a nine MEB C a, which is something that I, uh, had some interest in for a little while here anyway. Um, the next question comes from drew Davidson. He says, I've heard you talk about old school supplements before and enjoy hearing about them.

[00:16:16] Why does it seem though, like more of them worked back then versus what we have today?

[00:16:23] Coach Rob Regish: [00:16:23] Do you agree with that? Yeah. In fact, I would say it seems that way because it really is that way. So let me explain what I mean by that. There were two golden ages, I would say, of of legal effective supplementation. So you have the early to mid nineties and then the late nineties and let's say early two thousands so the early to mid nineties gave us things like ephedrine, GABA, quality equity products.

[00:16:53] Uh, like Zambia, tall, red, a ball, and then meal replacements, like the original metrics when it was a quality [00:17:00] product. And of course, creating the second golden age from maybe 96 to 2004 was about pro hormones, which worked for obvious reasons. The common denominator during those two periods of time. Was an influx of great minds into our business.

[00:17:21] People who were doing real research and testing of natural and not so natural products. So bill Phillips, who I'm sure everyone remembers, you know, he, he was, he was in the running a company and making money, and there's nothing wrong with that. Um, but in order to do so. He employed people like Dan Dushane and at one point for a brief period of time, Pat Arnold to come up with the next wonder products.

[00:17:50] And so if you understand the history of both men, though, it is a real study in the, in the best of a bad situation. So after do [00:18:00] Shane's second stint in prison, uh, for dabbling in, I think it was GHB. He was forced to develop quote unquote legitimate products and legal supplementation. And so given such, he came up with everything from the very first pre-workout, ultimate orange to whey protein.

[00:18:20] He also wrote extensively about his version of the cycling ketogenic diet that was body Opus. His last book written while he was in prison and lesser known but of no less. Um. No less than what contribution his body contract training system. That was, that was an incredible work. In my opinion. Pat Arnold had a similar, although decidedly I would say, less successful career after the incredible hits that he had.

[00:18:51] Right. Or one 80 and six Oxo pro hormones were added to the schedule three band list. All right. And then Pat did [00:19:00] some time, uh, as well. Like Dan did, but for his role in the BALCO scandal and now after emerging from prison, he never quite recaptured the magic, I would say, of legal supplements. To be fair, to be fair to Pat, the laws were a lot more restrictive when he got out than they were when Dan got out.

[00:19:23] And so he had to work within the framework of things like D, S, H, E a, and, and, and other legislation. But think about it, right? Neither man could dabble anymore in anything remotely resembling a hormone for whatever reason. And there were probably several. Dan was the much more successful of the two. Now, if I had to nail it down to a single thing as to why it would be this, Pat is an incredible chemist.

[00:19:55] I think he's a lousy salesman and that's not, that's not to say I'm [00:20:00] much better, but, you know, visit his webpage sometime and you come back and tell me, uh,

[00:20:06] Carl Lanore: [00:20:06] he doesn't like to come on the show and promote his own product. Yeah. I've tried to get him on when he, when he, when, when his ketone. Uh, assaults were first introduced.

[00:20:17] I want them to come on and talk about it, and he shies away from it. He goes, well, you know, led Dominic D'Agostino come and talk about it. I, you know, I don't like to talk about my products. So you're right. He, um, he's a great chemist. He's not good at marketing, but that's, I, in my humble opinion, in this day and age, there's some level of adorability to that.

[00:20:36] Coach Rob Regish: [00:20:36] Yeah. And I think, I think hat is kind of trying to structure things where he does what he does best. And. And the other guy does what he does best. But look, um, I do think also early on, Pat was guilty of maybe doing too much work in the lab and not enough real world testing. And I'll back that up with his product or solar Casad um, which [00:21:00] has some fantastic research around it.

[00:21:02] But. You know, when it was ruled out, it was just her Solak acid from Rosemary, I think stuffed into capsules

[00:21:10] Carl Lanore: [00:21:10] gave me such bad, so I can't eat foods with Rosemary in it because it does. I repeat. I took, I have, I have two unopened bottles of, or solic acid acid home from Pat. I can't take them. I burp up Roseberry all day long.

[00:21:28] Coach Rob Regish: [00:21:28] Yeah. And even for those of us that aren't allergic to it or give them the problems, we had to find out the hard way that it didn't work because of absolutely that almost zero bio availability. So, you know, today he has a, I think you are spray, which is a transdermal version. I think it's, it's marginally effective.

[00:21:52] Um, the problem is very cost effective. Okay. According to the people that have used it. Well, finally, I think Brock, [00:22:00] uh, Bruce Neller, AKA Brock stressor, he's probably the ultimate example of how great minds have been neutered in the business. At one point, Bruce was dandy, Shane's research assistant after interestingly enough, a letter that he wrote to Dushane challenging one of his opinions, and that struck Dan as brilliant.

[00:22:22] So he asked him to come on board. Uh, like Dushane and Arnoldo, Bruce would do time for his role in running red star China underground labs today. He runs giant and sports supplements. And he's absolutely brilliant, but terrified to do anything more edgy than a well-made whey protein and a run of the mill pre-workout.

[00:22:45] Carl Lanore: [00:22:45] And it makes sense, right? Because you know, if you've been bitten by a dog, you get shy about being around dogs, right?

[00:22:53] Coach Rob Regish: [00:22:53] Sure. These guys don't want to go back to prison, of course. Right? So, so until guys like [00:23:00] Miller have free reign, again. You know, I honestly, I don't think there's going to be any supplement Renaissance, you know, I wish things were different.

[00:23:10] I really do. But unfortunately, uh, to date they're not. So.

[00:23:17] Carl Lanore: [00:23:17] All right, we're going to get one more question in here. Uh, and then we have another question coming in from Casey Morrow that will work in after the break along with, uh, Tommy Dee's question. So just, just sit tight on that. This next question comes from, uh, Bob Bowzer.

[00:23:35] He says this COBIT 19. Really that dangerous. I'm getting conflicting stories and need to make educated decisions about traveling on business. Attending graduation ceremonies, et cetera. I can't even believe you. You're not, you don't got to worry about graduation ceremonies cause you can't even get married right now and have a party.

[00:23:53] So there's not going to be any graduation ceremonies right now. Right.

[00:23:57] Coach Rob Regish: [00:23:57] And so, um, [00:24:00] look, I'm no expert on it, but a lot of the early news I think on COBIT 19 was confusing. Some of it still is. Um. According to my reading and understanding. Anyway, it's actually a F a family. This Corona virus is a family of viruses, uh, with this particular strain coming out of Wu on China.

[00:24:21] So early on it was said that old people and those with underlying medical conditions were more at risk. And now I still believe that's true, although there's been some disturbing information this past week of how it's affecting young people now. Uh, to the, to the degree that was, I think they said 38%.

[00:24:44] Carl Lanore: [00:24:44] What kind of ages are we talking about here?

[00:24:47] Coach Rob Regish: [00:24:47] Well, let's call it between the ages of 16 and 35.

[00:24:51] Carl Lanore: [00:24:51] Yeah. And they're the ones, so they're the ones that are reckless right now. Right. They went to spring break, they did all this crazy stuff because they're like, Oh, it doesn't affect us. And [00:25:00] now all of a sudden it's affecting them.

[00:25:02] Coach Rob Regish: [00:25:02] Right. And, and now it's probably fair to say more of those folks. We'll make a full recovery, but we, you know, we need to understand why all of a sudden there are so many, I think to a large, to a large extent, what you just said, Carl is there, you hit the nail on the head.

[00:25:17] Carl Lanore: [00:25:17] They come, they come their nose at it.

[00:25:19] They were like, ah, it can't hurt us. And I was like, Oh my God, we're getting it. Yeah, right.

[00:25:24] Coach Rob Regish: [00:25:24] They all thought they were invincible and some of them were found out the hard way. They're not.

[00:25:30] Carl Lanore: [00:25:30] You know? And there's another thing I want to mention here. So we know these viruses, once they find hosts, they mutate.

[00:25:36] And usually they get weaker as they go from human to human, but that's not always been the case. They're all viruses that become more aggressive. It could very well be that because these young people thumb their nose at it, more of them got the virus. And what asymptomatic. But they gave it the virus mutated in them and went to their friends and it wasn't so harmless to their age.

[00:26:00] [00:25:59] So, you know, this is a great lesson, like when you're supposed to stay away from people just because you're young, don't thumb your nose at it. Cause you may have actually created the virus that's now affecting young people,

[00:26:11] Coach Rob Regish: [00:26:11] right? So no matter who you are, you need to take this seriously. Because if you don't.

[00:26:17] You know, and, and you have an event that complicates the situation. Like, uh, you know, look what's going on in Italy. Socialized medicine. You've got 700 plus people dying a day.

[00:26:28] Carl Lanore: [00:26:28] Go out and hug Chinese people, hug Chinese people to prove that you're not racist is what their micro became

[00:26:34] Coach Rob Regish: [00:26:34] it. Yeah. So, and you saw where that ended

[00:26:37] Carl Lanore: [00:26:37] up.

[00:26:37] Yeah. Look where it's going now. Yeah.

[00:26:40] Coach Rob Regish: [00:26:40] So, um, it is also true on the other end of the spectrum that many people get it and are asymptomatic. But then again, you know, man, you get all the symptoms and are said to be quote unquote recovered. You've got to ask yourself this question though. What does that really mean?

[00:26:56] What does recovered mean? It could mean [00:27:00] everything from a completely recovery. Uh, and, and they lived, but they're less, or, you know, they lived and they've got 50% lung function for the rest of their lives, you know, so you have to really ask yourself, what are they saying when they say, you know, X X number of people have recovered.

[00:27:19] So I don't know about you. Um, but cardio is hard enough without losing 50% of your lung function.

[00:27:27] Carl Lanore: [00:27:27] You'll be like cardio on trend. That's, that's exactly what cardio horn tread feels like. Take it from me. I remember when I added Trent to one of my cycles, literally the next day, I had a hard time walking upstairs in one day.

[00:27:40] So yeah, your cardio one trend,

[00:27:42] Coach Rob Regish: [00:27:42] you won't be running any marathons on scram. Uh, so look the best, the best deal with this thing is, uh, keep some common sense about, you don't go out looking for it like some of these millennials did because they found it. You know. Um, if [00:28:00] look, if, uh, there are some great, great guidelines given here on superhuman radio for free.

[00:28:08] And frankly, I think the big one about maintaining a high vitamin D level is probably your biggest and best defense in so far as what you can do supplementation if you're getting a good night's sleep. If you're striking the proper balance, you know, between some training and not too much. If you're eating a diet, you know, with a high nutrient value, you're going to be doing everything possible for the first line of defense, your immune system to kill this thing if you, if it does come in contact with it and God forbid if you do become infected with it, um.

[00:28:51] That same immune system is probably going to determine whether and how you survive it. So bottom bottom [00:29:00] line, this is a serious virus. It can kill you no matter what your age is, if you don't take things seriously.

[00:29:07] Carl Lanore: [00:29:07] This is, here's an interesting piece of information. Um, some of the earliest people in  who contracted the virus, they were given antiviral medication.

[00:29:21] And they survived and they recovered and they were released to go back to their homes. Have you heard this? You're ready? Are you shaking your head

[00:29:31] Coach Rob Regish: [00:29:31] so I can see where it's going? They

[00:29:33] Carl Lanore: [00:29:33] contracted it a second time, which means that some of these medical interventions, I don't know about chloro quinolone or those, but some of these medical interventions that intervene, uh.

[00:29:48] Actually intervene on the learned immune system from becoming immune to this virus. Usually if you get a virus and you survive it, the process of [00:30:00] surviving it is what causes herd immunity. The process of surviving it is what protects you from getting it again. It doesn't protect you from other viruses.

[00:30:12] Your immune system learns that virus, knows how to attack it now and kill it because the survival of that virus provided that to your learned immune system. What we're learning now is that some of these antivirals that intervene, they actually intervene in the process of the body learning it, which means you are susceptible to getting it again.

[00:30:33] Not a good

[00:30:33] Coach Rob Regish: [00:30:33] thing. No. You know, it's crazy to think that that happened. But it did. And it serves to illustrate you need to take this thing seriously. You know, if you do and you keep yourself strong, uh, I think you'll be okay. If you, if you go out and get stupid, all bets are off.

[00:30:56] Carl Lanore: [00:30:56] And you know what? I am taking pretty large doses of vitamin D [00:31:00] three.

[00:31:00] I am doing other things too that appear to enhance the immune system. A response to this virus, but trust me, I'm not going out there looking for this virus. I don't want to prove that I can survive it by being taken down for a week or two. I

[00:31:15] Coach Rob Regish: [00:31:15] don't want it

[00:31:16] Carl Lanore: [00:31:16] now. So you know, don't, don't be stupid. Like Howard Stern's father used to say to him, don't be stupid.

[00:31:24] I will gonna to take a quick commercial break. When we come back, we have questions from the viewing audience here on Facebook from Tommy D and Casey Morrow. We'll get to those and we have lots of more questions to answer. And then of course, there's the blueprint tip of the day, so stay tuned. We'll right.

[00:31:38] Coach Rob Regish: [00:31:38] This is the superhuman channel

[00:31:40] Carl Lanore: [00:31:40] evolution. Just got kicked up a notch

[00:31:46] fucking back. So let's go ahead and, uh. And for a couple of questions as best as we can. We didn't have any time to do any research. I have heard of this compound. So [00:32:00] Tommy D S a what are thoughts or experience regarding a new research chemical? N, M, E, B, C. some people just call it an MBC. Um, it is a, is a variant of a, actually a variant of a drug given for Parkinson's disease.

[00:32:18] Just the way. Just the way I'm a draft funnel is a precursor to Modafinil. Uh, and MBC is kind of a precursor to something called Khabir. Goaline. It's a beta cavalier, a car car baleen um, a molecule that increases, um, uh, dopamine production in certain areas of the brain. But it also seems to increase. Some neuronal sprouting in the hippocampus, which is a good thing because as we get older, our hippocampus gets smaller.

[00:32:54] I don't think there's any great research on it yet. And I'll tell you why, because there is some [00:33:00] indication that it could potentially damage DNA. And so, um, I, I've been hesitant to use it. I'll use microdosed LSD before I use this at this point in time, which does increase dopamine as well. But  and BDNF.

[00:33:17] Um, do you have any opinions of it, Rob? Have you seen it? You know, it's, it's a new nootropic out there. I

[00:33:24] Coach Rob Regish: [00:33:24] started hearing about this stuff about a month ago and, but there's very, very little information about it out there. Um, what I can tell you from the reading that I've done, the only people that are reporting remarkable things are people with very serious medical conditions like fibromyalgia.

[00:33:43] Uh, and they're saying that it works far better than whatever prescription drugs they were giving them, which kind of doesn't, didn't make sense to me because, you know, I would think they would've got being approach drug to carbo, what does it, carbon [00:34:00] goaling. Capita. Galena. Yeah. Cabernet glean. I would've thought they could've gotten that straight away from their doctors.

[00:34:05] Right. And it probably would have worked better. Um, more concerning to me is the total lack of safety data that I found on it. I don't know what you found, Carl, but, well, other than what you said, but

[00:34:18] Carl Lanore: [00:34:18] the damages DNA, that's not a good thing. First of all. No. And usually the cases that are, so, let's be clear about something, right?

[00:34:25] Parkinson's diseases is a degeneration of the brain in an area called the substantia nigra that impairs motor skills completely. Um, it usually is accompanied by. Degeneration in other areas of the brain as well. The drugs of choice are actually, uh, um, uh, called levodopa and carbidopa, carbon Galene carbidopa.

[00:34:48] Um, these drugs have a, uh, they start to develop, um. An inability to produce the [00:35:00] same effects at the same dose. Some people will, we'll call this a resistance. Uh, others will say that the body becomes no. What it does is when dopamine is a very, very, very, very, very powerful neural hormone, too much of it actually desensitize the brain to its effects.

[00:35:20] So you have to keep upping the dose, and when you up the dose, one more, it actually starts to damage. It damages those dopaminergic neurons. Um, some of you may have remembered a story that I think, um, uh, Robert DeNiro was in a movie back in the eighties or nineties where he was a doctor and he was working in a ward where there were people who in longterm comas, they were in catatonic States and he gave them Parkinson's medication and they woke up.

[00:35:54] And they woke up, but they had it. What they don't tell you in the movie is they kept upping the dose to keep these people up [00:36:00] and around and eventually no dose work and they went back into their comas. Um, it's a very, very, very dangerous thing to overdrive dopamine in the brain because it will, it will hurt you for the rest of your life.

[00:36:14] Coach Rob Regish: [00:36:14] You have. The only related note I can make here is I read once and then unfortunately. I do. We had to learn it the hard way. Too much. L-DOPA is not pleasant and you can get there if you take too much. Um, what's called red velvet bean or another circles. Mucuna Purina

[00:36:36] Carl Lanore: [00:36:36] Purina's yeah, that's another one.

[00:36:37] Yeah. Right.

[00:36:38] Coach Rob Regish: [00:36:38] And, and you have to be careful because there is mucuna out there that is standardized for 98%. Levadopa so. Look, just take my word for it. Go easy on it. Don't overdo it. It is. It is a horrible, horrible. It feels like you have the flu.

[00:36:57] Carl Lanore: [00:36:57] Well, people, some people, like my sister [00:37:00] had was treated erroneously for Parkinson's.

[00:37:03] She didn't have Parkinson's. We know that. Correct. But they had to keep upping her dope. It's actually a carbidopa, levodopa put together the name for it. It'll, it'll come to me in a second. But, uh, the drug of choice is a combination of carbidopa and levodopa, um, cause they have different effects in the brain.

[00:37:21] But her dose kept increasing when she would take it for a good 15 to 20 minutes, you'd have uncontrollable anxiety and then the anxiety would go away and then it would start to work. And then she had to take more and more. Then she had to take it instead of every, every six hours, every four hours, every two.

[00:37:39] Then it was like every hour and a half, but she was taking mega doses. It destroyed her brain. Dopamine is not something to fool with. It really isn't. Um, no, this is why caffeine, monoamine, uh, uh, this is why things like metals and things stop working, right? You take caffeine, you feel great. Your brain is working.

[00:37:58] you take the same amount three or [00:38:00] four days in a row, all of a sudden you're chasing it. I don't feel as good. I'll take a little bit more. It's because dopamine depletion in the brain is nothing to eff with.

[00:38:10] Coach Rob Regish: [00:38:10] I would agree. I mean, it's not a mechanism. It's numb. It's not a thing that's a, let's call it plug in and play.

[00:38:17] It's not a plugin and play thing.

[00:38:19] Carl Lanore: [00:38:19] You could use it once in a while, like, like if you were gonna use this for learning, you would take it, here's what we know about amphetamines, which also increase dopamine production. If you take writ a Ritalin to learn. You have to take it to test as well. Otherwise you don't retain.

[00:38:36] It doesn't work. So if you took this for learning, then you would have to take it for when you're using that thing that you learned. That's not a good thing. You know, it's not a good thing.

[00:38:46] Coach Rob Regish: [00:38:46] So,

[00:38:47] Carl Lanore: [00:38:47] all right. So the next question comes from Casey Morrow. I guess it says Casey and Alicia moral. I'm thinking Casey is sending this in.

[00:38:55] I'll do my best and we will do our best to answer this. Um. [00:39:00] Sure it's appropriate. He says, uh, his question is, should someone take a methyl folate with Metformin? If so, do you have a B vitamin and foliage supplement recommendation? I've been using prescribed Metformin for a year and half with very little B vitamin supplementation.

[00:39:21] My homocysteine was very high on my last blood work. And I'm having some ed issues. Any suggestions? Well, the first question I have is, are you taking Metformin for anti-aging or are you taking it for, uh, uh, are you really diabetic? Number one, that's the first question. If you're still listening, I need you to post that cause then some of these answers may change for us.

[00:39:46] Um. I don't know anything about B12 vitamin B depletion and Metformin. Metformin does change the gut microbes. It may reduce intrinsic factor, which is required for, [00:40:00] uh, the gut to actually, uh, absorb some of the B vitamins. I don't know anything about that, but with that being said, um, you can take a  if you want homocysteine to drop, not only B12 and B six.

[00:40:16] Methyl folate, obviously, but anti-aging. So why? So stop taking it for anti aging. Just too intimate and fasting. See, this is my point about Metformin. Everybody is like, Oh, it's so great for anti aging. No, we don't know that. All we have is a history of people with diabetes using it. And then there's shills out there that are telling everybody if the greatest thing in the world, but they're not being honest.

[00:40:38] They really aren't. Um, but here's the, here's the bottom line. Stop taking the Metformin because it, it also inhibits any mitochondrial adaptation to exercise. It inc inhibits a muscle, a protein, synthetic response, and muscle. By down-regulating you're better off taking rapid myosin one [00:41:00] day a month. And just, and fasting along with it for two or three days doing intimate and fasting, you'll get the same effects without any of the negative side effects that you're trying to get with Metformin or just do intimate and fasting.

[00:41:13] But however, however, here I look, Elisa Profumo is listening and she just put this link up for you and it's in the thread and you need to go to it. Metformin and MTF, a MTHFR bad connection. So there you go. It's This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. website. So there you go, Alyssa, thank you so much for putting that up there and being in the audience right now.

[00:41:37] But the other thing is, if you want a lower homocysteine, take creatine. So homocysteine is spun off by the body when it makes creatine, when body makes creatine. One of the byproducts is homocysteine. If you want a lower homocysteine by taking creatine. Three to five grams a day. Your body doesn't [00:42:00] have to make it.

[00:42:00] Your homocysteine levels will drop dramatically. Think about this for a second. Metformin impairs mTOR. It impresses, impairs protein, synthetic response. There is a connection there with creatine as well. If you think about it, and then Alisa put this up as well. Be 12 deficiency may be a longterm effect of Metformin.

[00:42:21] Use. And I'm going to tell you something. There are people out there that are on, Ben, been on Metformin for a long time that aren't taking B12 and their brains are changing. If you listen to them talk, they're like getting a little loony. I'm just saying, okay. So there, the Metformin is 10 years from now, we're going to realize that everybody who took Metformin for anti aging actually eff themselves up.

[00:42:44] I will never take it. I'd rather do intimate and fasting. I'd rather take, um. Six milligrams of rapid myosin one day a month and let that do its downregulation. There you go. Go ahead, Rob, please.

[00:42:59] Coach Rob Regish: [00:42:59] Well, the, the way [00:43:00] I read his question, um, I, I just assumed, I guess there was a good medical reason why he's using Metformin.

[00:43:06] The larger issue here that probably affects more people is elevated homocysteine. And that can come about as a result of everything from eating an extremely high protein diet. Uh, uh, the two medications that you're taking. Creatine is a good solution. I tell you the best though, and not ever cause not everybody likes creeds.

[00:43:29] I would tell you the best solution is trimethylglycine. And in fact, um, the, my blood work, uh. On TMG has been absolutely stellar. B complex vitamins will also lower homocysteine. Uh, but nothing like tea that I saw with TMG personally. Um, creating, I only use it sparingly. Uh, I don't get a lot out of it. So TMG is my preferred [00:44:00] weapon in the war and homocysteine when it comes to ed.

[00:44:03] You know, I think, I guess number one, look at why you're taking Metformin and whether or not other prescription drugs might be interfering there regardless. Uh, if you can't figure it out, I wouldn't waste any time I would go with my Agora sildenafil. You know, it's, it's generic now. You can find it for about a buck a pill,

[00:44:25] Carl Lanore: [00:44:25] but get off, but get off the Metformin.

[00:44:28] You're not doing yourself any favors with that stuff.

[00:44:31] Coach Rob Regish: [00:44:31] Yeah. Like I said, I, I'm, the way I read his question, I assume there's a good reason he's using

[00:44:36] Carl Lanore: [00:44:36] that anti aging is not a good reason to use Metformin. It really isn't. I don't care what anybody says, and I've been saying this since the beginning. I can get Metformin.

[00:44:46] I could take Metformin. I have rapid myosin. I take it once in a blue moon. Hey, look, Jeff, Jeff Clifton says, try red light therapy.

[00:44:56] Coach Rob Regish: [00:44:56] Yeah, I read about that too. Read about that too.

[00:44:59] Carl Lanore: [00:44:59] Alright, [00:45:00] this is good stuff, but really stop taking the Metformin. It's, it's, it's your, it's misguided. There are people out there promoting it.

[00:45:05] I know a guy who says he's been taking it for 25 years and unless he's been diabetic, nobody was taking it 25 years ago for anti aging. So that's bull baloney. I, Bob Macola says, um. So I decided a while ago to go to the dark side. I don't know why people call it that. It's really not the dark side. It's the bright side.

[00:45:26] I'm 28 years old and bought DECA Debo plus a add a VAR to look really cut and have my posts cycle meds like Clomid too. I'll be training heavy and eating a lot, just like you tell too. Okay, I got it. This is a long one. It didn't all fit up there, so I gotta just like. Uh, you tell, uh, just like you tell, I also do a lot of triathlete type stuff, so I'm a great cardiovascular shape.

[00:45:56] What else can I do to get the most out of my cycle? [00:46:00] Are there any other drugs which you'd prefer than these and why? Why does it have to be drugs? How about just eating 400 grams of protein a day? Go ahead, Rob. I'm sorry.

[00:46:09] Coach Rob Regish: [00:46:09] I was going to say there's a whole hell of a lot more you need to know. Before embarking on this little adventure.

[00:46:17] First off, you need to put a much finer point on what you're trying to accomplish because it sounds like your training and diet are geared to a book. If that's the case, why the why the antibiotic, that's usually a cutting drug, but Anna VAR itself is not going to make you cut. You know, your diet is, is what's going to read.

[00:46:40] To lower body fat levels. And consequently definition, a bulking diet, which you're also talking about on, on this side of the fence, um, defeats that purpose. So the other thing that struck me as really odd was, you know, triathalon training stands in [00:47:00] direct contrast to what it sounds like you're trying to accomplish.

[00:47:04] You know, have you ever taken a real good look. At some of these triathletes, they have that skinny, fat old man look to them, and it's a consequence of the training. If you do too much of that type of training, it won't matter what kind of drugs you're on. It's not conducive to building a heavily muscled, defined, and symmetrical physique, which is usually the point of using physique drugs.

[00:47:34] Um, next, there's no way in hell I'd be using DECA without testosterone at least. And let's say a two to one ratio.

[00:47:42] Carl Lanore: [00:47:42] Ah, wait a minute. Wait a minute. So I did a show not too long ago about DECA only cycles and, and a common friend of yours in mind from Sweden, Lara stone home yup. Has been running DECA only.

[00:47:58] And he said he's never [00:48:00] felt better. He's never been stronger. He's never slept better. His Lapita libido is through the roof. So there I would, I would just say the DECA plus testosterone thing may actually be what causes problems with DECA. So let's reserve, let's reserve to come back there. Cause Lars is coming on the show after he's done with this experiment every week.

[00:48:21] I would not do it when we did the show on DECA only I thought, I'm not doing that. Like I'm not taking a chance cause DECA gave me ed. But apparently DECA only there may be some magic to it.

[00:48:32] Coach Rob Regish: [00:48:32] So. Okay. So I'll reserve judgment. I guess that's the first time I've heard that. But Lars really

[00:48:39] Carl Lanore: [00:48:39] knows his stuff.

[00:48:40] You know him. He's, he's ripped to shreds. I mean, the dude is like a superhero,

[00:48:44] Coach Rob Regish: [00:48:44] you know, he's, he's amazing. So I'll certainly hear him out, uh, before passing judgment. Um, so, uh, continuing on, whether it's DECA and test or deco alone. You know, this is your [00:49:00] first cycle. I would save the D ball in the Andover, right.

[00:49:03] For another.

[00:49:04] Carl Lanore: [00:49:04] You're all in. You get, you gave yourself no place to go 10 years from now.

[00:49:09] Coach Rob Regish: [00:49:09] Right. And look, I'm no fan either of Clomid for post cycle therapy. Uh, I think most people are, must much better off and have a much better record of re, you know, recovering their testosterone production with HCG. And interestingly enough.

[00:49:27] Uh, the over the counter tribulus terrestris now Trib may right. Raise some eyebrows, uh, given I just recommended it, but it's not there to, you know, restart the testosterone production. It's there primarily for libido enhancement, uh, and the furrow Snorlax happenings, which are very heart-healthy given their nitric oxide releasing.

[00:49:52] Uh, properties, and there's some evidence that it helps bring your liquids back into balance, which is not as, [00:50:00] as big an issue with injectables as it is with most orals. Uh, but I would expect some deterioration, at least in so far as higher LDL levels. The truth of the matter is, when you're talking about collect cholesterol, although it is oxidized cholesterol.

[00:50:19] That is the real villain. Now, you also say you're eating a lot. Um,

[00:50:26] Carl Lanore: [00:50:26] what's a lot, right?

[00:50:27] Coach Rob Regish: [00:50:27] Yeah. And eating a lot and training heavy. So let's take those one by one. What is a lot? You need to put a finer point on that, you know, for, for most guys to reliably start gaining, you need to be somewhere around body weight times 20 in calories.

[00:50:43] And if you're not gaining, then consider adding, you know, 500 a day or so until you are gaining steadily. Now with respect to training heavy, same thing, although in truth, that's a much easier fix right when you're on anabolics [00:51:00] than your diet because once calories are high enough. And assuming you're using any effective dosage of Decker test are both getting stronger.

[00:51:10] It shouldn't be a problem, right? While you're using, you should regularly be able to slap more weight on the bar. Where it becomes a much bigger problem is when you come off, you need a better game plan, then I'm just going to keep training heavy, right. To keep your strength gains. Outside. It's outside the context of this discussion, but think about it.

[00:51:35] It's going to get really hard, really fast to keep your strength gains. If your plan is that vanilla and generic, you need something better. So here's the bottom line. I would actually hold off on doing anything until such time as you have a better handle. Frankly, on what you're doing because it's a stands now, you will likely make some gains, uh, [00:52:00] from what you're proposing, but also you'll also likely lose them just as quickly when you come off.

[00:52:08] So. You know, keep it some more time, do some more research, put together, you know, a plan with a little bit finer points on those areas that I cited. And I think you will do much, much better.

[00:52:24] Carl Lanore: [00:52:24] Uh, we're going to go back and revisit this question with Casey moral here just real quick.

[00:52:30] Coach Rob Regish: [00:52:30] So,

[00:52:30] Carl Lanore: [00:52:30] um. He says that he's already using Cialis and testosterone.

[00:52:35] Metformin is the only other prescription drug that he's using. Elisa pointed out something that I completely glossed over in his original post, and it's cause it's w when people post. So just for the record, for those of you who watch the show on Facebook, if you post anything more than. You know, three or four sentences.

[00:52:54] Not only can I not read it all, but I definitely can't put it up. As you can see, [00:53:00] there's a lot more behind this as the.dot, dot shows. But Elisa just pointed up, she said, did you see that he has the MTHFR gene? I didn't see that. He said, somebody should someone with M. T. H. F. R, so he has the genetic predisposition.

[00:53:18] Uh. For the gene that keeps you from absorbing a folate, even take Metformin. So I didn't see that. No, but I still don't. I mean, I, I, I don't think that the Metformin is helping or hurting as much as the fact that he has a genetic predisposition to this and he needs to take a good form of metal. A Foley.

[00:53:43] There's lots of good forms out there. In fact, if you go to supreme-a radio.net, we have a dr Paul's. Um, uh, dr Paul's a Metagenics store. Metagenics makes a, a clinical version of, of a methyl folate that is, [00:54:00] surpasses anything that you can buy out there. Uh, and Elisa Profumo, if you're still listening, he asked for you to.

[00:54:07] 2:00 PM P M him that link, if you could also P M a link to the store where he can get it. Uh, she's saying he needs metal. B12 I don't, whatever it is, don't take the Metformin anymore. Elisa will PMU, uh, the link to the, uh, metagenic store so you can get something good.

[00:54:26] Coach Rob Regish: [00:54:26] Uh, that'll take care of you.

[00:54:28] Carl Lanore: [00:54:28] And on that note, we're going to take a, our last commercial break.

[00:54:30] When we come back, we have one more question and then we have the blueprint tip of the day. Love it when the audience gets involved. Love having Elisa Profumo back on the superhuman nation team.

[00:54:40] Coach Rob Regish: [00:54:40] Yes.

[00:54:41] Carl Lanore: [00:54:41] Stay tuned, we'll be right back.

[00:54:45] Coach Rob Regish: [00:54:45] This is the superhuman channel where we use oxygen for the power of good.

[00:54:53] Carl Lanore: [00:54:53] You can go to the super human radio.net website right now and enter to win a 400 [00:55:00] plus dollar be strong blood flow restriction band system. With the app and everything was up for your legs, your arms, the whole kitten caboodle. And if you listen to yesterday show with Ben Greenfield, you know, Ben is a huge, huge proponent of using blood flow restriction to enhance your training.

[00:55:20] And there is no better blood flow restriction system out there than the one made by be strong because it emulates exactly what the original scientists, uh, who wrote the research on katsu, uh, who were on my show so many years ago. Uh, it's how they did it. They weren't bands and straps and tourniquets.

[00:55:41] They were like blood pressure cuffs that you pumped up and read out in milligrams of mercury so that you could have the bands be the same tightness on each limb that you want them to be in. That is exactly how the be strong system is designed exactly the way the original research

[00:55:59] Coach Rob Regish: [00:55:59] did it.

[00:56:00] [00:56:00] Carl Lanore: [00:56:00] He'll go to superhuman radio.net.

[00:56:02] Click the a. As soon as you get to the homepage, a window opened up where you just put your name and your email address, and the end of April, we'll announce the winner. Uh, the next question comes from Lauren Armstrong. What's the deal with vitamin C? Does it really boost the immune system? I hear so much conflicting info.

[00:56:19] It's hard to tell what's legit and what isn't.

[00:56:23] Coach Rob Regish: [00:56:23] Yeah. You know, the short answer is it most certainly does. The problem is most people don't use nearly enough of it, especially once they start to get sick.

[00:56:35] Carl Lanore: [00:56:35] So

[00:56:36] Coach Rob Regish: [00:56:36] understand what follows is what I do, it's what I've garnered from reading and also real world experimentation with vitamin C, both when I've been sick and not sick.

[00:56:50] Uh, over many decades. So you need to understand, I think the first thing you need to understand, and I'll get into the backup for this a [00:57:00] little later in the answer,  vitamin C enhances the immune system in no less than 20 different ways. Just to give you an idea, there was one study where they gave very modest amounts of very modest 200 milligrams a day.

[00:57:17] Oh, vitamin C to people, and that resulted in an 80% decrease in deaths amongst severely ill persons that were hospitalized with respiratory disease. Okay. There is a, that is nothing compared to what it can do. In higher dosage, in my opinion. Uh, just to give you an a, another idea, and there's a 1999 study that looked at the effectiveness of vitamin C and preventing and relieving symptoms of virus induced respiratory infections.

[00:57:56] So it went like this. There was a control population. Hundreds, we're [00:58:00] not talking about a small, tiny study of six people, hundreds and hundreds of people, uh, in the mean age, if I'm not mistaken, was in the, the early thirties. Uh, they were reporting symptoms that were treated with pain relievers and decongestants, whereas those, in the test population, again, hundreds and hundreds of people.

[00:58:23] Were treated with hourly doses of 1000 milligrams of vitamin C for the first six hours and then three grams a day thereafter. The results of the study were that overall a report of flu and cold symptoms in the test group, that that being the group that got the vitamin C decreased 85%. After they got , those mega what the researchers called mega doses of vitamin C, I would tell you six grams of C a day is hardly a mega dose, [00:59:00] especially, you know, when you get sick.

[00:59:02] So what you're just seeing and hearing about here, in my opinion, is just scratching the surface of what vitamin C can really do. In fact, um, vitamin C is now used by. Uh, maybe not many, but some hospitals, uh, where people are getting it intravenously. So just to give you an idea, there are companies that provide 25, 50, 75, a hundred grams a day of IB vitamin C protocols that are complete with recommendations for, you know, complex thing with other compounds.

[00:59:40] I think I read about sodium BI carbonate and. Our, you know, right down to the hourly drip rates. So high dose, this very high dose vitamin C has proven to have benefits in everything from the common cold to cancer. And if you don't believe that, [01:00:00] um, Google great vitamin C presentation. Uh, anabolic mines. It was posted on the anabolic minds message boards.

[01:00:10] If it's a two hour presentation, what's the Feis it to say? You will be blown away at what vitamin C has been shown to do even better. Um, you can Google the works of a one Dr. Frederick R Klenner, who was even more instrumental than the Nobel prize winning dr Linus Pauling. Who is universally considered, I think the father of vitamin C, but Klenner came even before him and was doing work that was just astounding.

[01:00:44] Not just for the day, but for today too, in terms of what he, uh, the, the dosages of vitamin C that he used. And what he treated successfully. I'm not talking about common colds, you know, little [01:01:00] Ricky neck, stuff like that. I'm talking about big deal illness. So it's a two hour presentation. But what you, you know what you're going to hear about vitamin C and learned could save your life.

[01:01:13] It is that you're, so here's my recommendation. I would take anywhere from five to 10 grams a day. Uh, orally as a simple preventative. And as soon as you feel any symptoms coming on, I would up that in some cases a lot. And I mean, you know, typically for somebody that's new to it and maybe a little hesitant, you know, you can have them dose.

[01:01:42] A gram, two grams an hour until such time as bowel tolerance is reached. Okay. Which is to say you take enough to the point where you, you have frequent urgent bowel movements, at which point you know you've reached saturation. [01:02:00] In all likelihood, whatever the amylin is, you're going to start feeling better and quickly do not let up.

[01:02:08] Keep hammering the vitamin C until your infection or whatever it is, is gone and do not be afraid of a very high dose. For example, I have in the past, gone up to a hundred grams of vitamin C a day in 10 gram out of pop dosages, being water-soluble, any excess vitamin CS. Simply excreta. I understand most people won't do that.

[01:02:35] It's extremely hard to do unless you have powdered vitamin C. um, but that is out there. And, and in my opinion, having that on hand, especially given what's going on in the world today makes a lot of sense. A lot of sense. So, um. Finally, last month in the bulletin, I debuted [01:03:00] for subscribers, a powerful new form of vitamin C that you can be used for many, many different applications.

[01:03:08] In fact, it's the only form of vitamin C that's been shown in studies to accumulate in muscle tissue. So, you know, it is, let me put it this way. This stuff is so good on considering adding it to Cynthia gin. So that should tell you something. Bottom line, vitamin C is an absolute must to have if you're not taking it daily, at least have it in your cup board.

[01:03:37] I think you told me Carl, Mike O'Hearn takes 10 grams a day.

[01:03:40] Carl Lanore: [01:03:40] I was just going to say, I was just texting with them cause I said, Mike, what do you do? And now that you can't train a Gold's gym, and I was trying to get them on the show, but he's tied up with other things I said in, one of the things I still want to talk about is the fact that Michael Hearne has taken 10 grams of vitamin C a day for 20 years now.

[01:03:56] And you know there's people out there who say, Oh. Vitamin C [01:04:00] impairs your ability to adapt to your training? Well, Michael Hern hasn't shown any problems adapting to his training. The guy puts up four 95 in the incline regularly, you know, I mean, so the guy is a powerhouse, right? And, and, uh, and yes, he takes 10 grams a day, but this is the same thing that Jack Lane did.

[01:04:18] Porter Cottrell take six grams of vitamin C a day, as I remember, he's been doing that for 20 or 30 years. So. Here's a couple of interesting facts about vitamin C lyposomal he delivered a vitamin C is the best vitamin C for getting into the cells. Number one, if you eat beef and pork or other animal meats, it has vitamin C in it, even though the USDA hasn't checked for vitamin C, but as Mike, as Rob just pointed out, vitamin C gets into muscle tissue.

[01:04:50] Well, cows produce vitamin C from their diet. It gets into muscle tissue. There is vitamin C in the muscle tissue of animals. This is [01:05:00] why the Chinese Navy never had scurvy. They didn't bring fruits and vegetables and canned, uh, fruits and vegetables on the, they raised cows on their ships. The men ate meat.

[01:05:12] They drank milk. They never had scurvy. They didn't worry about vegetables at all. Number two, vitamin C will increase the production of ferritin. Which has made me change my opinion of ferritin. In fact, I think years to come, we're going to find out that ferritin, higher levels of ferritin may actually be protective.

[01:05:32] Why would Carl say that? Here's why. Because ferritin is a protein produced by the liver to shuttle iron in your blood. Chaperoning. One molecule of ferritin can actually encapsulate and hold anywhere from one to 4,500 molecules of iron. So think about this for a second. When ferritin is low, iron gets stored into ferritin.

[01:05:59] The [01:06:00] ferritin that you have gets fulled up, and this is considered total iron binding capacity of the blood. So we may find out. That more ferritin is protective because if it's in the ferritin, it's not in your tissue. If it's in the ferritin, it's not floating around free in your blood and causing oxidative stress.

[01:06:20] So I'm starting to think that we don't understand the real role of ferritin. The fact that taking high doses of vitamin C increases ferritin in the absence of dietary iron is a really interesting fact.

[01:06:34] Coach Rob Regish: [01:06:34] Yeah. The only thing I'll add to that is no, I spoke of that two hour presentation by the doctor. Um, about an hour into it, he S he talked about, uh, like live on labs, lyposomal vitamin C.

[01:06:50] uh, the company had sent it to him. He thought it was a gimmick. And the ed just, you know, put it by the wayside and the PA, you know, there's some situation where he got [01:07:00] the flu or whatever. He said, I had it laying around, so I figured out what the hell, and I forget that he said how much he took, but he took, he said, hands down, it is the best form of vitamin C, and within 12 hours he had made a full recovery it.

[01:07:18] He said it was astounding and he thought it was just a gimmick. So. Yeah.

[01:07:24] Carl Lanore: [01:07:24] Lyposomal lyposomal vitamin C is really the best vitamin C you can take. So they don't, but thank you very much for that question, Lauren. And the mystery of vitamin C continues. There are people that are conflicted. They don't buy the, the research.

[01:07:37] They do buy the research. Um, they doubt the research, but it clearly is an important, uh, important, uh, component of the human. Condition. The last thing we have to cover today is the blueprint. Tip of the day. Rob, what is that?

[01:07:51] Coach Rob Regish: [01:07:51] Tip of the day is a lesson in being resilient. So, so twice a week I train my son and his friend, his friend's name was [01:08:00] Gerardo.

[01:08:01] It is very basic. You know, we have an upper body day and a lower body day and we focus on big compound movements. So, um, we've been doing that for the last two to three years. And six weeks ago I had them. Embark on their first, let's say, loading pattern work. Now, I generally don't recommend that for athletes that young, right?

[01:08:20] They're 14 you can at 1415, you can walk in the gym and slap a 25 on each under foot bar and sometimes get it. Um, but I did, I did that with a purpose. I wanted them to know that getting stronger involves a lot more than just showing, showing up. Right. And slapping more weight on the bar. They need to know that making progress is no accident.

[01:08:47] So it's planned and it's precise, or it should be. Uh, and so they were trap bar dead lifting their six weeks under this 12 week program and they're cooking with [01:09:00] gas. And then disaster struck because we went to the gym last week and we were greeted with a work closing tomorrow. Sign. So the kids looked at me like, what's the plan now?

[01:09:11] You know, which is a key question, and I guarantee you it's one in which you'll probably find yourself answering more than once in life. So I told them not to worry that I was all about plan B. So just sit tight and await further instruction. So when it came time to train, a few days later, kiddo and I picked up Gerad and, and began driving.

[01:09:37] And when we pass the gym, my son's like, dad, you know, you just, you just drove past the gym. I said, yeah, I know. Um, I said, we're going to train somewhere else. And so I pulled into my condo 10 minutes later and told the boys to proceed downstairs. And as soon as they rounded the corner at the bottom of the stairs, [01:10:00] it came into view.

[01:10:01] Right. And I said, this gentleman. Will be our home until further notice. And so what I've set up is, is a Spartan, but still fairly well-equipped home gym. At which point, um, Gerad looked at me and he said, he says, um, but you don't have, you know, much equipment down here. How are we supposed to train?

[01:10:25] Carl Lanore: [01:10:25] And then I,

[01:10:26] Coach Rob Regish: [01:10:26] yeah, I, it's at that point where I explained that gyms are usually inversely proportional.

[01:10:33] So how many machines, gizmos and gadgets they have. Mmm. When you've got a home gym that consists of just an adjustable bench, some power blocks, a trap bar, and in a few other things, just a whole bunch of freeways.  it's actually a blessing, not a curse. And so as I said before, I picked up 45 pound plate up and I gave it to giraffe and I said, do you notice [01:11:00] anything about that 45 pound plate?

[01:11:03] And he said, no, what's different about it? And I said, that's the point. There is nothing different about it. A 45 pound plate here is the same as the 45 pound plates that we use in the gym. You could walk into a gym in Wu, Han, China, and it would still be the same there too, although it would probably be the kilos.

[01:11:22] But there is something very reassuring about that. And I think they got the message so. Look, I wasn't about to let their six weeks of hard work go down the drain and true to form. We haven't skipped a beat. The truth is, I had elements of this home gym waiting in the wings. About half the stuff I had in storage in my basement.

[01:11:52] The other half was in a barn up in. Um, part of Western Massachusetts where I live [01:12:00] during my divorce, I specifically did that to ensure I did not lose the ability to train at home. If, let's say the stuff got stolen. Now you can call me paranoid, you can call me whatever you want. But today I have a home gym that I can train in and do.

[01:12:21] So until I drop and sort of those boys. You know, it saved them and it gave me personally a truckload of satisfaction. Why? Because within 24 hours of getting a very difficult message, Hey, your gym's closing, I had everything I needed to be just fine. It actually goes one better than that because, um, let's say I lost every single one.

[01:12:51] Of those thousand pounds or free weights I have, I would still be making gains today. Why? Because of the [01:13:00] books like convict conditioning or dinosaur body weight training and the encyclopedia of body weight work knowledge that's rattling around in my brain from reading those books over and over and over and practicing what they preach.

[01:13:18] So as a result of cultivating that quality sort of speak, I'm sitting pretty today and I, I thank the coven 19 virus epidemic for helping me put plan B into motion. Um, and while I don't want to make light of anyone that may be in a bad way as a result of it, the fact of the matter is that coven 19.

[01:13:44] Helped me take lemons and make lemonade. And more importantly, I was able to show that in a very profound way to my 14 year old son and his friend. So if you [01:14:00] haven't done so already, take steps to become more resilient, you will be really glad. I guarantee this. You will be very glad that you did. Great advice.

[01:14:13] Carl Lanore: [01:14:13] Great advice. Great show. Thank you very much to everybody who participated in today's show for your questions. Hopefully we did a good job answering them as best as we could. And then of course, the blueprint powers on every Tuesday. You'll see this again next Tuesday. If you have questions, you can send them to us in advance and it gives us a better shot at addressing them cause there are things that we don't know about, believe it or not, and you can send those to on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

[01:14:40] I pass them along to Rob. And Rob does the research and develops the answers for you. He does all the heavy lifting. I just am his ed McMahon.

[01:14:50] Coach Rob Regish: [01:14:50] Very calm

[01:14:51] Carl Lanore: [01:14:51] and stay strong. Stay safe, stay hydrated. Make sure your D three levels are high. Take your vitamin C, [01:15:00] wash your hands. I have completely broken myself. I'm going to admit something because everybody in this audience knows that I'm brutally honest about everything.

[01:15:09] So my entire life I. Fiddled with my nose when I was bored focusing on something. That's the first time I put my finger near my nose. Probably in the past week this, this covert 19. I just decided I'm not putting my fingers near my face anymore and I have stopped.

[01:15:26] Coach Rob Regish: [01:15:26] Yeah. It's, uh, you know, it's funny you mentioned that because I, I'm just more aware of it.

[01:15:31] Like, yes, right. I mean, like you go to, to scratch your face or you know, scratching niche and

[01:15:38] Carl Lanore: [01:15:38] yeah, you stop, you like as you go and you go, Oh no, I can't do that. Right.

[01:15:41] Coach Rob Regish: [01:15:41] Do that.

[01:15:42] Carl Lanore: [01:15:42] It's amazing how you can break habits that have been lifelong habits that quickly, if that's what you really want to do.

[01:15:48] Coach Rob Regish: [01:15:48] Yeah. And if nothing else, hopefully coming out of this people in better personal hygiene.

[01:15:53] Carl Lanore: [01:15:53] I hope so. Cause I've said this on the show before, I am always amazed [01:16:00] at the number of men who go to the bathroom in public restaurants. You

[01:16:07] Coach Rob Regish: [01:16:07] don't want to,

[01:16:08] Carl Lanore: [01:16:08] and I'm standing there washing my hands. I see a guy come out of the stall and breeze right by me and go out and I always look to see where are they.

[01:16:16] Oh, they're sitting there with their family. Now they're going to touch the bread and hand it to their child. And I think to myself, how disgusting can you actually be. Is that disgusting? I'm sorry.

[01:16:30] Coach Rob Regish: [01:16:30] I was going to say, hopefully they don't work there. No, no,

[01:16:33] Carl Lanore: [01:16:33] no. The employees always wash your hands. It's the filthy customers that don't wash their

[01:16:37] Coach Rob Regish: [01:16:37] hands, so they submit issue.

[01:16:39] Carl Lanore: [01:16:39] I tomorrow we have a really great show for you.

[01:16:42] Coach Rob Regish: [01:16:42] What is it?

[01:16:43] Carl Lanore: [01:16:43] Okay. There is a company in the U K that makes the first ever epigenetic testing system that takes into account not only your genetics. But they can actually read the epigenetics because, because your journey [01:17:00] through life has done things left watermarks on your body that affect your epigenetic response to everything they can do.

[01:17:10] Testing now, epigenetic testing that will tell you everything from whether or not alcohol is your friend or not. The little things in your diet that actually aren't helping you. This testing has only ever been available to the executives of large companies. This testing costs anywhere from 11 to $1,500 a person for the first time in the history of this company.

[01:17:39] And this company is a big company with big brains behind it. It will be available in the United States for the first time ever, but more importantly, my audience is going to get a special one time ever offer 70% off 70 so for just a little bit more than a 23 and [01:18:00] me test, you can have a complete epigenetic blueprint.

[01:18:04] That will help you navigate your health for the rest of your life and hopefully your life. Yeah, this is huge. There's nobody doing this. Nobody out there that's doing this. Nobody out there that's going to bring this to you. Nobody out there that's going to bring this deal to you. Nobody,

[01:18:22] Coach Rob Regish: [01:18:22] but I've never heard of a test.

[01:18:26] Certainly not out affordable like that.

[01:18:28] Carl Lanore: [01:18:28] This is, this is so far ahead of the curve. That, like I said in the past, the only people that have been doing this testing are like executives, big executives of companies in Europe and the UK. It's not been available in the United States ever before and this price, I told them, I told them, I said, if you, if you want to come on the show, normally I would charge you X for one interview.

[01:18:52] I don't want X. What I want instead is I want to deal for my audience. That is. [01:19:00] You got that you lose money on. That's what I said, that you lose money on this is it. You're not going to see this anywhere else

[01:19:09] Coach Rob Regish: [01:19:09] or I can't wait for the show.

[01:19:11] Carl Lanore: [01:19:11] Oh, and and I got to make sure, you know what, Tommy, that thrive code is working.

[01:19:16] We've tested it from here. I thought I forwarded you Michael's email. I'm going to fold you Michael's email now. I don't know if you're using your phone or a computer to try to order thrive. Have you had any problems using the compare code.

[01:19:28] Coach Rob Regish: [01:19:28] I haven't, no.

[01:19:30] Carl Lanore: [01:19:30] We tested it the other day. I'll, I'll get an email Tommy day cause he's trying to order something cause he heard that it's not going to be around forever.

[01:19:36] So he's stocking up wise, very wise. I will see everybody tomorrow. Don't miss tomorrow's show because this is a once in a lifetime offer. I promise you. We'll see you then. [01:20:00] .
