[00:00:00] Welcome back to another episode of superhuman radio. Today is Tuesday. We have the blueprint Power Hour where coach Rodriguez answers your questions about training nutrition supplementation, drugs gray marketer Investments. I mean, there is nothing that is not available to learn during the blueprint power and.

[00:00:55] I wanted to mention a couple shows. We did this week that are probably not going to be very popular with my guys in [00:01:00] the audience. But we need to pass the show around. Anyway, I did a show with the doctor Bruce Lee about a new approach to dealing with uterine fibroids and women this show has to go viral because most women end up with a hysterectomy because of fibroids and according to government statistics 80 percent of all women will suffer from.

[00:01:23] Of some sort by the time that they turned 50 years old. It's a really big problem. But there's a new alternative where a woman can keep her uterus and just the fibroids themselves can be Zapped for lack of better terms. Dr. Bruce Lee invented a device that is working. So if you get a chance past these that show around so that more women are aware of this amazing new treatment that is now slowly starting to creep around the country calling all blueprint Army fall in line.

[00:01:56] It's time for the blueprint. Our with Coach [00:02:00] Rodriguez on the Superhuman Radio Network.

[00:02:06] How you doing, Robert? I am doing great. I'm very excited because For the First Time in Facebook live history. I am able to look directly at you instead of off to the side my computer monitor old one crack. And so I had to plug in an external monitor. So, you know for the last six months. I've been having to flip sideways the whole but I lie, but let's be honest.

[00:02:31] It's not because you couldn't afford to go out and buy a new laptop and it's such a pain in the neck to buy a new laptop. I'm struggling with something very similar. I want to tell you. This story to show that many of us. We just don't want to have to move all the programs. We have to a new computer because then if you can't find the original disk or the original key, it's like oh my God, I don't want to go through this, but I have been living without the letter c.

[00:03:00] [00:03:00] For a year now since last year and I what I do is I copy the letter c and then as I need to see I hit control V control now control V is my letter C and now my touchpad mouse went out. So I have an actual hard-wired external mouse that I have to plug into my laptop and I could go out and buy a new laptop today, but the the idea.

[00:03:24] Of moving everything and having it up and running and even though I have an IT company they go. Oh, yeah, when would they move everything the like, oh where we need the original key for this software. We need the original key for that software. It's like nah, man. I don't have that anymore. I bought that three years ago, you know prepare to pay three times about three times what you will just for the computer alone.

[00:03:47] Yeah. There's. It's a charge to move the data. There's another charge to reinstall programs. There's another charge for this another church for that. I bought the cheapest one that had enough [00:04:00] memory. It was 250 bucks. I got out. I I left the store paying about 650. Yeah, because all the things you had to add to it just to get it back to and even then it's not exactly the way it was before right?

[00:04:12] It's not. Well, yeah, you're right. I did notice a couple things that are that are new, but I'm just so excited that I can look forward now. Yeah, it's a big deal and I can take my computer with so what's new on the horizon of training and creatine levels in your blood. You know the good news and we got a question about this.

[00:04:38] So I'll go into more data, but the good news is the numbers started coming down. So they're moving in the right direction and I'm still and so despite that I'm still going to go ahead and meet with the kidney specialist this Friday. I am hopeful that someday I can get to a place where I train twice a [00:05:00] week and then three days of Matt time at UGA.

[00:05:05] We'll see but life is going to have to be a lot different for me from now on, you know, when they throw the word around dialysis when they throw that word around it gets your attention. Yeah, are you going to be experimenting with thymosin beta for. I just got it in. So the answer is it depends? I was told when I go see this new kidney specialist.

[00:05:30] He prescribed me sodium bicarbonate pills. They basically 600 milligrams of sodium bicarbonate in a pill form. You could do the same thing with your own sodium bicarbonate home. Obviously. Yeah, I can't wait to ask him that question, but we'll see we all do that for a couple of weeks. We'll see what it does.

[00:05:49] But if it does. Do anything then it's finally sinking beta for TB 500 is getting its run. So and I've got a big vial here that you and [00:06:00] I want to thank you for that senior. Yeah. I mean, I only think you'd for kidney function. You only need about 200 micrograms a day. Yeah. Well that that would last you 50 days of continuous use if you follow that protocol.

[00:06:14] Okay, so we got this question from Shannon guy key. Hope I pronounce your name properly Shannon. So let me know because I'll correct it. Next time. He says I was wondering if either you guys tried Blackstone Labs Euphoria. This supplement gave me the most incredible feeling of well-being and relaxation and it begs.

[00:06:35] The question is is there something illegal in they're not out of the question with Blackstone Labs. I guess could be a nice discussion. In the show looking at the ingredients, although the peak effect only lasts about one hour max. Yeah, and you know, this is a really interesting question because you know, there [00:07:00] are really only one of two possibilities either they found a way to extend the effects of you know, Euphoria.

[00:07:07] So to speak from 10 minutes to an hour or there's a little something extra in it, but. Before we get there, let's take a look at the ingredients in this product. The first one is beta phenol estimate FM mean. I always mess that. I don't know Pei Pei Pei correctly Erie and they say it can cross the blood-brain barrier right big Improvement in mood and well-being.

[00:07:33] That is true. Although it is quickly degraded and really quickly like minute by minute. Yeah. Five minutes maybe ten at the outset. They also have some CDP choline 5-HTP thinning and any civil teresina in there. And those are good ingredients. Although I would tell you if you're interested in terracing and its effects on exercise that the [00:08:00] straight l-tyrosine has much better research on it than they seem.

[00:08:05] But we get to the mystery ingredients and idiom Gordon Gordon. Gee it's also known as or Killeen. It is mentioned as an adaptogen and an herb that reduces mental and physical fatigue brought on by stress on a promotes a sense of calm. Obviously, that's the X Factor. It belongs to the Orchid family, which is not unlike.

[00:08:31] If you remember the dendrobium in crate that was in the original craze as a as a component y'all containing this Peña.

[00:08:44] Here's the problem. There has never been a single study involving this or Killeen in human subjects. Let alone one that's investigated whether or not it has any effect on stimulatory functions or relaxation and. [00:09:00] This is the really worrisome part to me. None of the supplement companies that are using it are standardizing it for what they think the active ingredient is.

[00:09:10] So it's really kind of wishy-washy so final analysis. I'd have to punt on this one Shannon. It could be a lot of things, you know, your your comments about a feeling great for an hour. Lead me to believe it's probably Peña based. But again that's rapidly cleared from the system. So it's either one or two things.

[00:09:36] They have either effectively extended the window of how Pei feels from 10 5 to 10 minutes to an hour or there's something extra in it given their history. I would probably bet on the ladder. So I like to give companies benefit of the doubt, but this one just doesn't something doesn't add up. [00:10:00] So if I was going to make a pill.

[00:10:07] As a pre-workout or nootropic revolving around PE a I would combine it with some form of cellulose was xanthan gum because that's how they make. Sustained release niacin, right? So that 500 mg niacin slow release niacin tablet that you get from Sundowner at your local grocery store is just nicotinic acid bound together with methyl cellulose and xanthan gum, and that's because.

[00:10:40] Those two compounds have a predictable digestibility that they know will not dissolve in the stomach. It dissolves very slowly in the stomach and continues to dissolve in the small intestine as it makes miles and miles of travel and that's why you don't get the flush from [00:11:00] 500 milligrams of nicotinic acid that you would have you just took plane on nicotinic acid.

[00:11:03] You would light up your whole body with light up red like Rudolph's nose. So. If someone said to me, I want a sustained release Peña that's an easy one. I would just blend it with show you some sort of cellulose and some sort of gum and I would test it a couple times and say yeah, look this stuff hits you in about 15-20 minutes and it lasts about two hours and then it wears off now the problem with the but there's one big problem with that.

[00:11:33] Well occasionally those. Extended delivery approaches backfire. There are times where I've taken the 500 mg sustained release niacin and some portion of it opened up all together and I got red and flushy for a while. And if that happens with Peña you could end up with tachycardia you could end up with anxiety you could end up with some really really [00:12:00] crappy feeling experiences.

[00:12:02] Yeah, so, you know. Wait, I'm happy easy to do. Yeah, anytime you're playing with neurotransmitters in your brain understand, you know, it's nothing to be use that term played with you really need to do your homework on what you're doing because as you just pointed out it can do some funky things to you and if you're using stuff like really strong stuff like we'll talk about later in the show.

[00:12:32] It can do damage and and it's scary. Trust me. I've been there Jeff Clifton has a really good question. Do doctors treat for low levels of Peña a neuro panel showed low for me, but the doctor didn't address it. First of all a neural panel. Is not really a neural panel unless they're extracting it from spinal fluid.

[00:12:56] Then I'd say yeah, if they didn't or panel where they did a [00:13:00] puncture and Andrew cerebral spinal fluid from your spine. Could you please comment if that's what they did but if they just drew blood out of your arm that is not indicative of. Of what's going on in the brain? You know, this is my frustration with doctors who sell these panels where they say.

[00:13:20] Oh, we're going to we're going to evaluate your dopamine in your epinephrine. And your and your you know, all these different brain chemicals were going to do and then they stick a needle in your arm and draw blood from your arm that is not indicative of what's going on in the brain. Here's a perfect example.

[00:13:36] Your gut produces 90% 90% more serotonin than your brain but the the serotonin that your gut produces never makes it into the brain. It doesn't get through the blood-brain barrier. It was from Life Extension your analysis. That's not a good that that is not a neural panel that I would trust Jeff.

[00:14:00] [00:13:59] It's not because. What goes on inside the brain the brain even makes its own insulin did you know that in times of trouble? The brain will actually secrete its own insulin to facilitate its own glucose transport. The brain is a self-sustaining body part that doesn't need anything else except blood flow.

[00:14:25] So it depends on the heart for that. Checking anything outside of doing a spine puncture and pulling cerebral spinal fluid and saying oh you've got you know, this is your dopamine. This is It's meaningless. It's not accurate and it's and it's really not even worth hanging your hat on just for the record.

[00:14:47] Now if in fact you are low in PE a then. You just need to take more phenyl alanine, which is actually in a lot of products and is a byproduct of certain [00:15:00] proteins like whey protein has phenyl alanine it if you increase your phenyl alanine intake and do some Google research and look at the enzymes that convert phenyl alanine to Peña.

[00:15:11] You can back load your own PE a. Yeah, and some of them were Savvy pre-workouts do include phenyl alanine. I remember that now, so if you see if you're seeing it there it's for a reason and and I would definitely look into it. So I just Googled. Are orchids and edible flower truly tantalizing the glamour glamorous edible flower is an ultimate.

[00:15:37] The orchids are the finest available dip orchids and chocolate honey powder them with sugar garnish. Meanwhile, they have all of these and feta mean like compounds in them. Yeah. Yeah. It's it's an interesting field. Unfortunately. It's also. Easy to you know, play the game where the slip something else in there.

[00:15:58] That looks an awful lot [00:16:00] like PE a well, but I but I'm saying imagine going out to a party and eating an orchid and going man. I feel amazing. I don't know what I did tonight, but I just feel like dancing all night and it could be the compound in the Orchid that garnished your plate that they told you was an edible flower.

[00:16:18] Yeah, I didn't know they were edible. I guess I would do that if if they are. Yeah it I just cuz you know all upscale restaurants big it's a big thing to have edible flowers on your plate people think it's really cool. It makes the plate look beautiful. But then also you eat it instead of it just being a garnish and I'm thinking wow what would happen if you got an edible.

[00:16:38] Flower that was an orchid and it had one of these compounds in it. So I Googled is a orchids edible flowers. In fact, they are. Wow, that's that's pretty cool restaurants need to do that. Their their guests will leave happier and not know why Andrew battle says a new Sr. Shr listener and I love the show.

[00:16:59] I never miss an [00:17:00] episode. Thank you very much for that. So you were talking last week about your kidney issue. Where does that stand? And do you have a plan yet? How you'll get back to the weights? Yeah, so. As I mentioned at the top of the show, my values are getting better. There was a point in time where my creatinine the high end of the range was 1.35 and I was at one point eight nine.

[00:17:26] I think and my creatine kinase levels, which should be under 200 were 1600. Those two numbers have come down to 1.5 and 1,400 respectively. So moving in the right direction. They are not. However, if this ever happens to you, those numbers are not always linear meaning right you'd accept expect to see a drop lower again.

[00:17:54] Now, sometimes they go higher and then come back down and in reading the studies about the [00:18:00] condition rhabdo there. This a wide wide variation in people's, you know, creatine kinase response to training and the levels when they go up and down up and down but having said that I see the new kidney specialist Friday.

[00:18:16] I have blood drawn yesterday. He will be working with those numbers interestingly enough when I went back through five years worth of labs. I saw on there that in every case at least my creatinine. I was either very close to the top end of the range or a little bit over. And so it you know that brings up the question is that normal for me or do I need to further bring exercise volume and frequency down right where the levels get in maybe in the middle of the range for creatinine?

[00:18:57] Creatine kinase was not looked [00:19:00] for on those labs, but I would Willie would be willing to bet you anything that if they were my numbers would have come back quote-unquote. Hi. Okay, also understand this that that documented five-year history of my creatinine. I would have never had that. If when I have blood work, if I didn't call the office and request that they mail me a copy.

[00:19:28] That is your right. They don't always want to do it but force the issue it is your right and you will have those labs to go back and look, you know, this is something my PC duck didn't didn't even catch up, you know catch so, you know do it my opinion. Is that most athletes probably live with higher-than-normal CK levels?

[00:19:52] It probably doesn't get to a level as it is does with me, you know where you're like, whoa better go to the hospital [00:20:00] that sort of thing. I don't want to be out of range, but high normal is still normal, right and I seem to live there at least over the last five years. I have I have some questions.

[00:20:14] Yeah, sure sure over those five years of blood work you have were you also continuing to use federal or methedrine every day? Okay. Next question is do you have any outward phenotypical signs of dysfunctioning kidneys, do you do you hold water in your ankles for instance? No, okay. Do you have any type of stomach distention?

[00:20:48] We're like, it's pop. Okay, you don't you people with kidney problems have certain things. They get like moonface. You don't have that Moon that you don't have that I could look at you [00:21:00] and see you don't have that. So do you have to urinate a lot often often often? No, not unless I'm drinking a ton of water.

[00:21:10] Okay. Do you do you have problems urinating do you ever feel like you have to pee but now that's this is what bladder and prostate but do you feel like you have to urinate and and you can sometimes or you feel like you're do once in a great while it'll be difficult until you know, I just relax and.

[00:21:30] Comes out so, you know, I did have a prostate exam done five years ago or so ago, and I got psa's done every year everything checked out. Do you ever think to yourself? Wow, I haven't peed all day. No never I know where all the bathrooms are. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So, you know, do you ever have a pain in the saddle, which is your back above above your butt around the sides between the rib cage and the but [00:22:00] on the back never never have any soreness or pain aches nothing like that, right?

[00:22:06] I can tell you this the last time this happened like PC looked at me and he said you're in kidney failure. He actually called me said of your kidney thing that meter kidneys first. What a stupid thing to say. First of all what well, there's just so much more to kidney failure than just creates a nine and and creatine kinase and I mean, you know, I'm sure he was trying to scare me but and it works because I got to the kidney specialist.

[00:22:33] I said look man here my last year's look at take a look at everything. How do I get out of kidney failure? He leaned back in his chair and he looked up at the ceiling and he said you're not in kidney failure. Don't let see in that pisses me off. That doctor should have never said that it's it pissed me off.

[00:22:55] I never went back to her doctor for a long time. Right? But that's what he said. [00:23:00] He's like, don't let some internist scare you. And at the end he says well, I don't know. What do you want to do? I said I want to get back into the gym, you know big toe in the water, but I want to get back. You know, I want to get my life back and he said we'll go ahead and do it and it was probably another year before I had another rhabdo.

[00:23:18] And so I do think at the end of the day, I'll probably have to limit training of the twice a week which isn't a bad thing and. Get regular blood work done to see so make sure that I'm not pushing into a red zone so and so so I strongly. Believe what I'm about to say. Okay, I strongly believe that your chronic use of Ephedra and F adrene caused problems with globular filtration in your kidneys because that's what those things do they cause the kidneys to blockade metabolites and keep them in the blood [00:24:00] and I believe that's what happened and I believe it could take you a year of not using them for your kidneys.

[00:24:07] Go back to normal. I predict that out of just out of the blue eight months from now 9 months from now. Everything's going to drop back down and your kidneys going to function great. You can't take a drug. And that's what that stuff is. No matter how you look at it. You can't take a drug for 5 or 10 years and not have it some sort of permanent imprint on your body and then just stop and think that it's going to switch back day later a week later.

[00:24:35] It could take a much longer period of time but I really really believe that all of your issues. Are from causing your kidneys to become blockades and work a lot harder as a result because of your use of your chronic use of f adrene. Well, we'll find out a cold turkey did about a week ago. How do you feel?

[00:24:58] I feel fine. I mean, [00:25:00] you know, so depression no anxiety, right? No, no. No, I you know without I was using ephedrine as an energy crutch because it like my test levels were so low. Although it didn't dawn on me. That was the real problem when I got on soon as I got on HRT. I have plenty of energy during the day sometimes even if I don't sleep well, yeah, so so, you know, yeah look sometimes it's fun to correct your heart rate up to 120 even before you get to the gym, but that also comes with you know a price.

[00:25:37] High cortisol level so ashwagandha improves glomerular filtration rates. So ashwagandha should absolutely be a supplement that you're taking if you're not taking it already and I think that if you started on 200 micrograms of thymosin beta for a day and did that long term that's been shown to actually reverse [00:26:00] fibrotic tissue accumulation in the in the kidneys.

[00:26:06] I mean thymosin beta for is Magic for the kidneys magic and then and then and then and then of course, you know, I'm a huge proponent. I take it daily. I take it a few times a day and that's that's sodium bicarbonate. There's actually a form of calcium bicarbonate in my new mineral blend. No, I can't wait for that electrolyte.

[00:26:30] Anyway, okay, Ricky Brown says what's your opinion of how much of a difference training makes from what I can see most people are doing their own thing or following a program programs off of bodybuilding.com all those program defective and how much room for improvement is there. That's a pretty broad question.

[00:26:51] Yeah, and he's right because I've seen a lot of people of the people that do have a. A lot of them [00:27:00] get workouts off bodybuilding.com which in most cases is better than nothing because the other thing that I see and it's far more common is guys are just winging it, you know, and sometimes it's as pathetic as hey that machine's not taken.

[00:27:17] I guess I'll go over there and do leg extensions. You know, that's their workout. Um, so yeah some in some cases better than nothing. But the real question here is how many people are training optimally and how big a divide is there right between just winging it in the right training program. So in most cases I would suggest to you.

[00:27:44] That the difference is drastic and even more so than you can imagine. So we're going to take somebody who's just wing it. He's guys Monday Wednesday Friday. He plenty of bench has plenty of curls, you [00:28:00] know, maybe some legs stuff like that. You get that person and you put them on something such as EDT Charles Steele.

[00:28:09] He's escalating density training about as solid a program that you can have and those people will start growing fast a lot faster than what they were assuming. Of course. They're they're eating the same now we take those people. And they're still using EDT and we have them in the first thing they do in the workout is the do some loading pattern work for a big barbell lift like the squad for the deadlift.

[00:28:40] Okay, when the combination of those two methods is used it puts people on an incredible fast-tracked to size and strength and what I just described to you boosting one rep max strength and also total tonnage. Was the premise [00:29:00] behind the blueprint and why so many people did so well as matter of fact at that time thermal life how to practice their own product al-khali ball.

[00:29:12] And a lot of people were using it with my program because in some other respects, the blueprint was an empty stare own optimal use protocol but here's yeah. So here is the problem though at the end of a month. Let's say, Vega awesome results was it the blueprint and the training protocols or was it ebo?

[00:29:35] Most people didn't want to gamble. So guess you got more money at the end of every month the evil guy. Reheat in thermal life, right? You know what I got? I got a lot of questions. I'm it and the better part of a day picking up private messages is you know, some of the nuances of the blueprint where to take it next but look the point is thinnest so [00:30:00] the point is yeah, there's a lot there's a in most cases a huge room for improvement going from winging it to something like I just described I can honestly tell you.

[00:30:13] That every breakthrough that I had in terms of putting on muscle getting stronger was always training related always they was something I came across it was Charles stale easy EDT. It was Charles Stanley stack 10. It was the loading patterns that I found and collected from around the world. It was Leo castas, right OTS and big beyond belief.

[00:30:40] All of those things were huge breakthroughs for me and after I purchased them by the way, they were mine for Life. They're mine for life. If you're just buying supplements and hey, I'm a guy that sells them. You know, they might be great supplements, you know, since agenda is [00:31:00] obviously the crown jewel of my line anyway, but at the end of 30 days it's gone.

[00:31:07] You're not going to keep getting that effect with these training programs. You certainly will so yes for training methods should be what you pursue and I would suggest you to pay for some good ones and they will be yours for life will be serving you well decades from now far more so than whatever's hot this month.

[00:31:30] They think of think about this if you took a bowl by itself, just sat in a chair. Would you gain muscle if you did the blueprint protocol by itself, would you gain muscle? Yes, absolutely. Will you gain more muscle if you did both? Then from the data that I got ya through but the reality is the real magic in the in this equation is the [00:32:00] thing that you'll build muscle with by itself.

[00:32:02] And that's the information on how to train and I had I did have a precious few guys go supplement free and they may dramatically that's that proved my point that move. I have a feeling that Shawn can earn Shield is listening live today. Don't ask me why. Okay, don't ask me why but I think he is.

[00:32:20] So let's see if you are Sean. Text me. We're going to take a quick commercial break. By the way. I will be in Boca Raton, Florida. I'm arriving Thursday and coming home Monday. So any of my listeners who are in that area if you want to meet me, I'll be at the redcon one. Location visiting with Aaron cinnamon and his team and I'll be there for quite a few days come by and say hello.

[00:32:45] I would love nothing more than to meet you all out there and maybe we can even train together. Although you'll have to go easy on me because these days I feel like an old man. All right, we're gonna take a quick commercial break. We'll be right back stay tuned. I can't say enough about this new [00:33:00] supplement body protection complex from my good friend.

[00:33:04] Dr. Bill see. You know a lot of people want to use bpc 157, but they don't want to inject. Some of them are you actually using a patch I would challenge you to send that patch off and have it tested to see if there's any bpc in it. I really would challenge you to do that. Bpc 157 when we did the original show on it with the Dell Musa of couple years ago that least two years ago.

[00:33:30] We talked about how this peptide did not have to be injected. It could be taken orally because body protection complex finds itself in the gut regularly and it seems to be well absorbed and very bioavailable. What doctor seeds is done is. He is found a protein sequence that is basically made up of the same amino acid structure as bpc 157 [00:34:00] but it's over and over and over and over again when you ingested it breaks it to its component parts of bpc 157 and it's absorbed into the stomach.

[00:34:12] I actually think. In some cases it may actually be better than injectable. Bpc 157 and here's why bpc 157 also because it's resident in the gut it actually has some healthy healing properties that Focus just on the gut. It improves the mucosal barrier of the gut. It seems to heal the lining of the gut.

[00:34:34] People take bpc 157 injectable for gut problems. Not just because they want to recover and get rid of that bursitis tendinitis or that soreness and their muscles. So taking it orally actually puts it where it can work the best if the reason you're taking it is for gut problems. If you go to dr.

[00:34:53] Seeds.com, you can actually get the lowest price available. It's 20% off plus if you sign up for the [00:35:00] subscription, it's like another 20% of you can get BP C. 57 in an oral complex called body protection complex cheaper than anyone else in the country through this show. Dr. Si.com use the code shr and check it.

[00:35:16] Everybody who uses it says man, I've suffered with shoulder pain for years. It's just gone elbow pain for years. It's just gone this stuff is real it's real. So it sounds like one of those products were why didn't somebody think of it earlier? You know, well it actually the time had come right because we have injectable bpc 157 that the so many probably millions of people in the country using today and saying this stuff is legit.

[00:35:43] It works. There's a company out there who. To put it in a patch, but I seriously doubt there's anything in it. I really do seriously doubt and I would challenge someone to send the patch off and spend the three hundred dollars to have it tested and see if there's really anything in it. I think you'll be sadly [00:36:00] disappointed but this is actually being produced in an amino acid sequence or just like the kind that they produce peptides.

[00:36:08] Well, and so it's a hundred percent what it's supposed to be. It's in a capsule and we know that it's well absorbed through the gut. So the timing is exactly when it should have been we know this stuff works and it was just a matter of time before. Somebody said let's just prepare it in an oral preparation and give it to people who aren't willing to inject and that's a doctor seeds is done.

[00:36:31] great stuff Ricky Brown says. I'm sorry, we read that already been Bob Benson says I really need to lean up fast for the summer. Yeah, how we've heard this before for the summer or for my 30th Highschool reunions probably have to lose 20 pounds. How would you train for something like that and will bronze organic help will make your tan.

[00:36:58] Right. [00:37:00] Well, you know the typical person to drop 20 pounds fast is going to want to crash diet and probably do a lot of cardio, which is a fantastic way to burn up muscle tissue and actually become a fatter person at least. After it's all said and done, right? I mean your body fat analysis is going to tell those people some really disturbing things.

[00:37:24] They may wind up smaller versions of fat people but still fat hands down though. The best fat burning workouts are not cardio, you know, they're working quickly other with bodyweight and weights and. I'm actually training my wife right now on one of those circuits and here's how I stack it the first exercise our TRX rows right for 15 to 20 reps if the client is strong enough to be able to do chin-ups.

[00:37:55] The next exercise No Rest in between bodyweight squats for about 25 reps. [00:38:00] Then we go to TRX push-ups for 10 to 15, maybe 20 if you can hack it and then we move mediately into sled Sprint's Prowler sled Sprint's up and back with at least 50 percent of their body weight and then to finish the sequence I have them do bridging from the.

[00:38:19] Which might not sound like much but trust me when you get to the end of that circuit you are sucking wind. So at that point I have them have them rest one minute and then do the circuit again one minute do the circuit again. Ideally you want you want to make it through five rounds, but especially when the person is brand-new to it.

[00:38:46] The only thing might get through they might get through two rounds. Maybe three. So five is something to work up to ideally if you can do that work out four times a week is great. [00:39:00] However, Just two is plenty and I've seen people drop a ton of fat using just two. If you can build up to that five rounds that I.

[00:39:10] Mentioned you will be in absurdly good shape not just more prominent muscles and and much lower body fat. But you got to you're going to have the heart and lungs to go along with that, which is a really nice thing because I don't want to have to keep jogging to know where to get it every third or fourth work out and this is important we switch things up entirely and we trained much slower.

[00:39:36] Longer rest periods in between sets and much heavier and. It's important to do that to number one keep your central nervous system in touch with the heavy weights. But number two also pursue growth through, you know, actual myofibrillar hypertrophy. Now, we get to bronze organic to your point.

[00:39:59] We'll [00:40:00] look bronze organic is not going to help you burn fat. It's not going to help you build muscle. What it does do is that even with a modicum of sunshine you will. Nice, you know golden brown deep dark tan which will make you look leaner and more cut. That's just how it is. So, you know, long story short if you can train in that fashion and continually, you know up the wraps up.

[00:40:29] The number of rounds you will be in great shape. I would I don't know that you're going to drop 20 pounds in eight weeks. So you might make august-september the moral of the story just start a little earlier. The following month now obviously diet is very big here, but it's outside the context of this discussion he has to about training and that's that's what it is.

[00:40:55] It's and I can't believe he didn't ask about I can't believe he didn't ask about diet [00:41:00] a good because. You could train like this, but if you're not eating under your daily energy requirements, you're not going to lose any fat. Yes, and that escapes a lot of people believe it or not, believe it or not.

[00:41:15] Now some people don't like to count calories and I tell them okay, but here's what we're going to do instead of eating. When you do eat instead of eating to the point where you're full, you're going to leave the table a little bit hungry and being hungry is actually a good thing, you know working on stretching that period I'll stretching it out such that when you do get food the classic example being intermittent fasting.

[00:41:47] It is used very efficiently by the body. As a matter of fact, when I started playing with intermittent fasting I found I was able to maintain the amount of muscle. I had on half the amount of protein. [00:42:00] So take that for what it's worth diets important to very very important that it's probably more important than your goal of losing weight because you have to be eating less.

[00:42:12] Energy every single day then your body ends up burning up Joe walls. It was a ski while how do you how would you pronounce that? Well well, Well, I'll ski wolski, I would imagine. Okay. Sorry, Joe. I didn't mean to butcher your name acctaste our own study. You mentioned sounded interesting. I saw pad Arnold on your Facebook page say it was just research scammers through waterfall looking for water funding.

[00:42:38] Do you think that's true? And if it is can we trust any scientific? I got to say one thing first. Yep Pat on old is a cynic. Yes, he's a see cynical about everything Pat is just a cynic, you know, and it said that's just this him but I mean, you know. He Pat [00:43:00] likes to crap on things. He enjoys doing that.

[00:43:02] So just for the record, you know, I think Pat knows like that too. But what do you alluded to is very true here. There is a lot of bad science out there today and I'll give you the classic example. Hm be the only place hmb works is in studies. Where at the end under the footnote for the researchers.

[00:43:26] You either see Steve Messin or the University of Iowa who just coincidentally own the patent on the Tempe, right? You know and yeah, I mean this study this study was funded by water to determine whether or not they really should worry about this as giving athletes a Competitive Edge. There wasn't funded by a XD stare own manufacturer or Source material supplier.

[00:43:56] It was funded by an agency that's going should we [00:44:00] ban this stuff? Like does it really help athletes? And let's be honest. There's no if in fact they lied and if in fact it doesn't help athletes, it was of no consequence because athletes probably weren't using it. Anyway. Yeah. Yeah wouldn't be their first choice.

[00:44:18] Right? I mean, they would have wasted money in other words. That's all they would have done is waste money. Right, and and also think about this, you know, it costs water a good amount to keep adding things to their boundless. It would have been much much easier for the you know through the research to say, nope doesn't work and they're like, okay great, you know, we don't have to deal with it were under the next compound.

[00:44:42] And adding it to the list and testing for is not cheap. Especially I'm guessing they're going to have to test for a lot more than 20 hydroxy at the sterile. There are hundreds last known count 521 I think identified at the steroids. [00:45:00] So, you know, it's to my mind. There's no way you know, that just can't be now.

[00:45:07] It goes Way Beyond the German researchers though who did this study and found things right positive finding. So let's think about this logically if these scientists were just fudging the results to get more money then studies done showing the stuff worked in Russia. Japan Brazil Germany Rutgers University in this country and also the University of zegart in Hungary.

[00:45:37] That means all of those. Are in cahoots together? Yeah, right. They're all doing. Hey. Hey, let's try it. Let's see these studies and get funded for them. Yeah, like and mean think about it. Logically How likely is that right? It's just it's can't be in mind you places like Rutgers have reputations to lose as did the researchers that are looking [00:46:00] at this stuff.

[00:46:00] Okay. I'm sure they don't want to be known as the you know, Dr. Stephen assume the next Steve nessen. Let's all remember I would like to also remember when seba introduced Diana Bowl they common consensus amongst legitimate Physicians and scientists was that it did not do anything. It didn't make you stronger.

[00:46:22] It didn't build muscle that the research was all nonsense. Yeah, and and it's also worth mentioning that Pat has a competing product of sorts in that he markets or folic acid as a non-formal in hormonal anabolic and if you look at the studies, and I looked at a lot of. Earl so lacasa did not grow muscle or you know, cause people to lose fat to any meaningful degree what I did find interestingly enough.

[00:46:58] There are studies [00:47:00] showing lower levels of muscle damage creatine kinase mile globulin lactate dehydrogenase. Those are three big markers for my condition. So it may well hold value for those of us. Who have hyper CK responses to resistance training will see here's the bottom line. There is no worldwide conspiracy this stuff.

[00:47:27] It has been validated now in half a dozen or more countries just realized that not everyone is going to like that. And everyone has an opinion and I respect their opinion, but those are my reasons for saying well also also, it's a well-established supplement that's already has a market share out there.

[00:47:48] It wasn't like it's just being introduced like no one heard of it. They published a study now everybody's going to run to Market with their supplement. It's been out there for a long time and clearly athletes are using it and [00:48:00] what the study was designed to do was should water be concerned like.

[00:48:04] Really impart any kind of performance benefit and since it since it's out there and being used and anecdotally people say it works. They needed to determine. Well should we add this to the list and I don't see how that's as Pat put it. I can't remember what he said, but you know, just somebody pandering for funding that's not what this was.

[00:48:27] Yeah vacations over researchers were scamming for more water funding. Yeah, they got the funding. They did the study. They're done. They showed that it does do something and what is going to add it right to the banned list. They're going to edit I would think so that isn't official yet. But hey, you know, like like you said they did the research those were the results and there I would say there's a good better than 90% chance of lat.

[00:48:51] Man, I wish I could get them to add Thrive to the band. You could Market it that way. Yeah, of course be great. Like if they want to [00:49:00] if they people people like oh man fry was added to the the water bandless. We should all buy it now. Yeah and Bam by the world anti-doping agency. Give me two bottles, please Sean Welch says, do you recommend any particular joint product?

[00:49:15] I have arthritis pretty bad in my knees and not much as helping. You know, I only have arthritis in one joint. It's severe arthritis and my right elbow. I am bone on bone. My Afflicted joint though, right is not weight-bearing unless I go to do a push-up or something like that. So I consider myself a fortunate man.

[00:49:40] Now when it does come to inflammation, I think. Regardless of whether or not you have arthritis you should be looking to check that especially as you age. Okay. So if inflammation is going on on a widespread scale in your joints, then it's a sure bet it's going on in blood vessels and other places, you [00:50:00] know wanted to so my short list of anti-inflammatories and pain relief items are curcumin Kratom.

[00:50:09] Glucosamine chondroitin. MSM boswellia Serrata DMSO. sent the gym and fish oil. Of all those items. I just listed the two that make the biggest difference in pain. If you've got it are sent the gym in Kratom. Well, which I'll speak to you in a little bit and a little bit the sleeper of the bunch.

[00:50:35] Especially for more immediate pain relief is boswellia Serrata. Try some disturbances material to see when I'm talking about. I think it will surprise you in a good way. The thing that makes the biggest difference in my chronic pain. Okay, and there's a difference between acute and chronic is. The best commercial product for out [00:51:00] for that.

[00:51:00] I think we'll agree choking is GLC 2,000 active satin actually second and particular act East and yeah, if you if you read the label on that key Statin, it really holds three patents three patents ACTA Stanton has but it doesn't like looking at the ingredients. It doesn't seem to be anything special but ma'am the track record and the people but it ain't my today.

[00:51:26] well, I'll tell you why it is so many many many years ago. I started to look at hyaluronic acid synovial fluid and chondrocytes know and they all come from a building block of d-glucose chronic acid and n-acetyl glucosamine right a molecule of each create. Hyaluronic acid hyaluronic acid is what synovial fluid is made from if you look at if you look [00:52:00] at chondrocytes, they are made from deagle chronic acid and n-acetyl glucosamine.

[00:52:06] So basically the the founding building blocks of everything in your joints short of you know, blood vessels and and stuff like that. And blood it starts from an acetal do glucosamine and glucuronic acid as building blocks molecule molecule. Boom mouth Yuma and when you look at Sean's formula, he's the only.

[00:52:35] Only joint everybody else has glucosamine chondroitin, you know hydrochloride. He's the only one that has decoded erotic acid and an acetal D glucosamine as well as three other types of glucosamine. I'm and and then conjoint and he gets it he understands that in order to make more of this stuff.

[00:52:56] You need these building blocks. Yeah, [00:53:00] yeah, and so it truly is a special product. I would tell you, you know commercially anyway, that's the absolute best you can do. Now. I was having a discussion with my HRT doc one day. He says Hey, we've got an injectable glucosamine and I was like, wow, really?

[00:53:18] And so I bought a bottle a six-week Supply runs a hundred and seventy-five bucks. You had to do your own intra-articular injection. No, not intra-articular. It was intramuscular. Okay, at least those were the directions but look a hundred seventy five bucks for six weeks to my mind and this is me didn't nobody else was a little pricey.

[00:53:44] So I went shopping around and researching and I found a sterile 200 milligrams per milliliter. Glucosamine. For horses now you get around three times as much for a [00:54:00] whopping 25 dollars. So listen, right when you people here for horses. They're probably freaking out my reasoning is this. Sterile is sterile and glucosamine is glucosamine right that in the horses that they're shooting that's not it's not like it's not like veterinary supply companies are like, yeah, we don't care if there's a little rat droppings in the injectables.

[00:54:23] That's cool. It's sterile. Right right and some of these horses by the way. Our million-dollar view they're worth more than us right reg. That's so so, you know, right nobody's risking them million-dollar horse was a non-sterile injection. Now, that's what I do. I'm not recommending. It's what you do, but it works fantastically.

[00:54:46] Well, even on a mere 400 milligrams a week. You know, there were the recommendation I think is 6 but I seem to do really well on for so that would be my plan then [00:55:00] Sean at least the items that I discussed earlier. I would skip right to acti Statin and then if you're interested look into. What was the one like about boswellia Serrata?

[00:55:15] Yeah, that's pretty cool little product. So it by arthritis you mean that the. Meniscus in your knees are gone and your dad at the bone-on-bone junction. There's two things that you need to be aware of. Number one Osteo. Arthritis is an autoimmune disorder. So something in your diet is causing your body to go after the chondrocytes in your meniscus.

[00:55:42] So this is a fact you can tell me. Oh, no, my father had it everybody my face. Yeah, but you guys all ate the same things to it's not genetic. It's what you learn to eat and that's what it is and don't have your doctor say oh, well, it's because you're so big and muscular. No [00:56:00] because fat people get author itís in their neck and in their hands and those are not load-bearing joints.

[00:56:06] It's because inflammatory cytokines are going after. All the tissue in their body including their joints and meniscus in their knees and Ana spine the discs and everything. So first understand that something in your diet is predisposing you to this arthritis in your knees. Number one number two, go to an orthopedic surgeon have them do the x-rays of your knees to get authorized and then get.

[00:56:34] Three week or 31 once a week three weekly shots of hyaluronic acid directly into the synovial capsule. This is ultrasound-guided. They take an ultrasound. They look between your knee they take the needle they put it in through the synovial lining in directly into the fluid that's there now and they [00:57:00] put its hi.

[00:57:01] Molecular weight hyaluronic acid. I think that product name is actually called. Hi, Lauren you go once a week for three weeks and and about three months your knee pain will be gone completely and it will be gone completely for good reason because the meniscus will start to grow back the viscosity of the fluid in the joint will increase and your knees will probably last an additional three or four years before you'll have to get injections again.

[00:57:31] So that is like that's money right there. Just go get hyaluronic acid injections in the knee. Now. If in fact you find an orthopedic surgeon who is forward-leaning and highly intelligent have him put have him put 10 I use of growth hormone in with each of those shots because dr. Allen done came on my show five six years ago seven.

[00:57:59] I [00:58:00] think he passed away cause his website is down, but he started a website called I intra-articular growth hormone. I agh something something where he was training what the Pedic surgeons they were people that were ready to go get knee Replacements they flew to Florida they met with dr. Dunn did they had to go two weeks in a row so they booked they stayed in, Florida.

[00:58:24] Can I take 10 or 20 I use of growth hormone directly into each knee a week later 10 or 20 I use of growth hormone directly into Ichi. They go home six months later. They come back. The meniscus is regrowing blood vessels are sprouting back into the knees and the knee regenerates and they didn't have to get knee replacement surgery.

[00:58:46] So I would say. Step 1 orthopedic surgeon hyaluronic acid injections directly in the knee step to ask your surgeon if he's willing to add growth hormone to those injections one a week for three weeks [00:59:00] and you will never have knee problems at least not for the next decade. They'll go away for the next decade.

[00:59:05] But if you keep eating the foods that are causing the problem, they will come back. They will come back. That's huge. Huge let's see here. Oh good. So Darcy Clark says Rob any youth potential with kratom? Potentiated does Rob use any potentiate has with his Kratom has great Tom. Yeah. I do like I always take curcumin about 15 minutes before I'll take Gradle you can you can also use.

[00:59:41] What's the antacid Tagamet submitted done? Hydrochloride? Although I've shied away from that because I've seen some potential kidney issues, but certainly curcumin will do a good job. And I think there was one other account remember what it [01:00:00] was look if you're if you're doing what you should also I'll speak to this in the tip of the day which is to say if you're using it only, you know.

[01:00:10] Couple times a week you really won't need attention later. Right? Right, the people other people that use it daily or whatever and I know people like that they do use the potentiometers and they don't get that, you know. Feel good Euphoria type thing anymore. They might get some of the pain relief, but.

[01:00:33] You know Everyday Use just is not a good it has abuse potential put it that way. I am using Kratom now about twice a week sometimes on the weekend since I'm not smoking weed anymore. I'm not using caffeine and so once in a while, I feel like I want to take something to alter my mood a little bit and I have found the mod.

[01:00:58] What is it made on? [01:01:00] What is the. Maude Manor made on what is it called? That's true. Yeah Monda. Yeah Monda. I like OPM S silver which is organic highest concentration available. I take two and a half grams. It's five capsules. And if I do it just a couple times a week like I took it before the show today.

[01:01:26] I feel good. I feel creative. I feel talkative. I feel up I feel you know energized. I feel good if I take it again tomorrow, I don't I still feel that but I don't feel it has shrunk. So what I do is I'll take it sometimes maybe once during the week maybe once on a Saturday night and that's it.

[01:01:42] But I like OPM s the best and Darcy is saying he uses it with cayenne curcumin and chamomile. To improve. I also want to get to this other question from Aidan Ray. Aiden says he may ask his off [01:02:00] throw to skip the usual treatment count of course of cortisone of corticosteroids and go straight to the Highland rocket.

[01:02:07] This dude corticosteroids are degrading their they're actually slowly rotting the cartilage in your knees. Don't reason that you only give them so frequently well that I don't understand how doctors give corticosteroids today. I really don't I understand. It's about pain management at that point in time people in such terrible pain.

[01:02:27] They just want to get them out of the pain but it's kind of like saying if you were in pain because you are hanging in a noose. And I basically said to you I'm going to put ice around your neck to freeze your neck. So you don't feel the Noose as opposed to cutting you down and taking the Noose around from your neck.

[01:02:48] Like like cortisone just makes the problem worse. I know so many people who go for cortisone injections and then the need the joint degrades completely and then they need knee [01:03:00] replacement surgery. Don't do cortisone ever again. Don't do them. Find other ways to manage the pain hyaluronic acid, they can mix just a little tiny bit and see because it's in am gel medium.

[01:03:15] They can mix one of the topical analgesics the one that they give you like when they spray before they give you a needle. What is that called? Not novocaine prop Frylock a nose. They put one of the canes in it. It'll actually make the knee feel good for about three days. But once the hyaluronic acid gets in there, it reduces inflammation.

[01:03:38] Your knees will feel better within a couple days of having those shots and you go once a week for three weeks by the end of the three weeks your knees will feel good. Again, they will feel good and they'll continue to get feeling better and better and better and if you can get your doctor, which I doubt if you have a doctor that his only approach to Healing you with this problem is is [01:04:00] corticosteroids.

[01:04:00] He is probably not going to be. And to give you growth hormone with your hyaluronic acid, he's probably gonna say, oh that'll cause cancer which we should be allowed to smack our doctors when they say something stupid, but you may need to find a different orthopedic surgeon because there are they can add growth hormone intra-articular off-label without getting in trouble with the DEA.

[01:04:23] It's not a performance enhancing drug, then I'd injecting it in your skin. It's actually staying localized in the knee. That's where it stays doesn't go anywhere else doesn't go in your body and. That will regenerate your knees and you will never have these problems again, or you may have them again, but they'll your needs will be good for years.

[01:04:41] So yeah, do not ever let them put cortisone in your knees unless you just want to degrade The Joint completely. Yes, please. Yes good advice. I was thinking I was going to say if it's possible. Avoid cortisone [01:05:00] injections because although it might bring some temporary relief the amount of damage that it's doing long term is just not worth it.

[01:05:09] No not know you'll and then you'll walk you'll run you'll do things. You'll be injuring the knee more but you just won't feel. Until the next cortisone injection is needed and then you'll be worse you'll be like man it hurts worse now than last time. Yeah, it does your right eye. We're going to take a quick commercial break and when we come back, we have the blueprint tip of the day.

[01:05:29] You want to give us a teaser? What's the blueprint tip of the day about today Rob? It's about mood boosters and then some oh, that's a great Thom McAn. They tuned we'll be right back. Welcome back. I forgot to share Lars Thorn home. Pre-workout concoction a couple shows ago I have it in front of me.

[01:05:51] I'll share it after you do the blueprint tip of the day. Okay, superhuman Lars we shall call. Yeah. Amen. He sure is. [01:06:00] So the tip of the day has to do with like I said mood boosters and then some now I have mentioned peripherally on this show many times cray Tom and fennel Boo and they are without question the strongest mood boosters.

[01:06:19] You can buy that are legal and let's hope we just keep them legal. So let's take them one by one. I'll start with fennel boot. Jenna boot interestingly enough. And as far as I can tell was introduced in this country by Pat Arnold. He came across it while scratching around through the old Soviet research and it was that's where it was developed as a drug.

[01:06:47] It's where it originated, you know quickly registered with those who used. And I mean very quickly like these are things that you don't take. Yeah, I think it's working know you know it working. [01:07:00] You know, what's working. The devil is in the details though, and I'm talking about dosing too low and people don't feel anything like that.

[01:07:09] What are you talking about too high and you're going to sleep for a long long time and or. You'll have what amounts to blackouts the kind that alcoholics? And that's pretty fair comparison, you know, you won't be able to think straight or even barely function. You're certainly not going to be driving.

[01:07:33] I hope but you know the blackouts or scary enough. You never ever want to take too much. Okay Fender boot binds strongly to the Gaba be receptors in your brain. Unlike Gaba itself, which binds to the Gaba a receptor. Here's the difference. It has a very strong dopamine type of [01:08:00] response. When you do get the dose, right?

[01:08:03] It is an incredible experience. You will feel absurdly happy. They're at least optimistic your confidence skyrockets and your inhibitions fall. So if you recall my comparison alcohol, that's another. Comment rate between the two and generally speaking of the world is your oyster now for you introverts out there or the people that need to give a presentation or just enhance your next workout because phenibut plus stimulants is dynamite.

[01:08:39] It can be an incredibly addicting compound though. So you need to limit use just like Raytown to no more than twice a week. It is not something for rookies. I would not order the bulk powder because it's very easy to overdose. A lot of people take fennel [01:09:00] Boot and they sit down 30 minutes later. I got I don't feel anything.

[01:09:04] They take more and then. And then they take more and the worst part is vendor Booth doesn't kick in for about 60 to 90 minutes. And because you've taken twice as much as you thought you were going to you're going to be in a lot of trouble. It's not a pleasant experience. So just know that when you do get the dosing, right it is unbelievable.

[01:09:27] But it takes some time so order the pills so, you know how much you're getting. Secondly I'm going to discuss. Kraton. We've talked a lot about it already on the show. But in my opinion it is a much more predictable. Dose response curve and it delivers other desirable traits first and foremost. It gives you a mood lift doesn't matter what string at least in my opinion that actually there is there's a general consensus coming out of some of the people who are positioned in The [01:10:00] Sciences of Kratom saying strange really don't matter.

[01:10:03] That's all I'm people's heads. Yeah, and I think there's definitely an element of Truth to that. Really. Oh, yeah now. but but also they are different not I would say not in dramatically different ways. But as an example this mood lift, you're going to get that whether you take a red strain or a green strain or a white strain.

[01:10:27] What is Magda that I like? It's great. The powders green. Is that considered a green strain? No, all crate Tom is pretty much green. All create time for they have seen is green. Okay, if you do buy read it might be in a red packet but is most definitively not read. Okay now so you get this boost in mood and you're also motivated and when I say motivated, I don't mean like a harsh stimulant effect like oh my God, I got to go do something physical.

[01:10:58] It's more. I [01:11:00] want to do something. I want to be productive. I want to read a book. I want to watch something. I want to learn I want to fight I have I have a friend who's a pilot. He flies like three four days a week. And then when he's home, all he has time to do is like get his stuff together because then he has to fly again and he went he and when he comes home and he says to me Carl man, I gotta clean the house this weekend.

[01:11:21] I don't feel like doing it. He takes kratom in the morning and he buzzes through cleaning the house. He says, it's me. He says It's the funniest thing in the world. He goes actually. Cleaning the house. See ya. It's unbelievable again, if you get the dose and right and one other thing I want to throw at you real quick, and I'm sorry to jump in like this.

[01:11:39] But so, you know, I've been going to the eye doctor for my and last week when I went to the eye doctor. It was on a Wednesday and I had taken Kratom that morning. And so when she checked my eyes I said How's my pupil reflexes now? Listen, not what I thought? Yeah, okay. She said they're fine. [01:12:00] I said really I said did my pupils aren't dilated and she said know why I said because I took Kratom about five hours ago and it's and it's supposed to constrict them.

[01:12:10] She goes. Oh, no, she says your pupils are reacting perfectly. So that was made me feel good. Like well, okay, that's good. Yeah, how much did you take two and a half grams? Huh? Is that a is that a lot now standard dose is 3 grams. It's closed. Um, that's really interesting. If I take 3 grams, I get easily motion sickness in the car if I take two and a half.

[01:12:33] I don't get that. I think if you look at your pupils when you take three grams, it might be a different story. I could be different. But everyone that is that I've seen and people people have come up to me in the gym. They said no, I'm not on it. Well, something's making your pupils and all the size of a pinhead, right?

[01:12:54] But look it's it is an exceptional analgesic and the delivers [01:13:00] fast and long immediate long-lasting pain relief and like I mentioned before there are several strains, so I'll try to give you a rundown of what. I find each one to do and again, this is very subtle. It's not dramatic between strains the green and the white strings are more energetic if you will I have more of a desire to do something physically that might be all in my head.

[01:13:25] But you know, that's my feedback. Most greens are also great pain relievers interesting Lee enough. I do not do well. I don't get much out of my deck and that's supposed to be the strongest strength. Anyway, the red strains are marketed anybody to unwind and relax you a good product. Right? If you're settling in to enjoy a night of Netflix or watch a movie something like that.

[01:13:51] The yellow Vietnam is somewhere in the middle and it's definitely worth experimenting with because it has [01:14:00] some subtly different effects. Straight-up crazy Tom is where I get mine. They now have an enhanced white which I think a bit of extract is putting in. It is absurdly good in feels fantastic.

[01:14:16] They also have the first crate Tom liquid I've seen. This is a 90% full spectrum extract. It doesn't specify whether it's green red or some other color it is. Very potent and I would draw the parallel with you don't want to buy this stuff for you. Like you don't want to buy bulk fennel Boop. You don't want to start with a right they high and actually the guy asked me and I was out I went and got some this morning and I like o PM s-- because apparently like they're the leader in the Kratom category and there's his organic.

[01:14:55] Have you ever heard of OPM S. No, I'm. Blanket on [01:15:00] this for ya. My son is the one who taught me about it a few years ago because it's really popular in California. And so I went in there. He said oh PMS now has a liquid. It's like a little a little bottle. And you said it's we're out of it because we can't keep it in the on the Shelf.

[01:15:15] He says it's very strong. He said and so I will cause I was gonna get it, but I'm glad I didn't I like sticking to what work what I know works, you know, but for me you yeah. So again, that's what Fender boo. You want to just you know, take crate time two days a week. No more both compounds.

[01:15:34] Unfortunately suffer from very fast tolerance increases more so phenibut but also great time. So if you overuse it, you know, you'll need more and more obviously to get the same effect now, unlike fenna boot if you OD on crate on. You will is in effect just these throw it up. Now you may get something called the wobbles, which I think you [01:16:00] were referring to Carl, you know, you you walk and it's almost like you have neuromuscular disease.

[01:16:05] I I told you the story about when I went out to dinner that night. I had taken too much great time. I didn't have a scale and I had Pat bulk. And I just stuck the corner of an envelope in the powder and I looked at I go that looks like three grams I through to my mouth and by the time we got to dinner I couldn't talk to anybody.

[01:16:21] I couldn't noises with so much louder. I just was so trapped inside my head that and and when I went to walk it was like my legs felt stiff like I Didn't Have I Lost proprioception is what I meant. Yeah, and so cray Tom is available in liquids. It's available in bulk powder. And then pills I would tell you if you're just starting out order of the pills, right so that you know, what exactly what those does what to you later on.

[01:16:51] You can order the powder if you have a scale or a three gram scoop some company send that along but [01:17:00] go slow with it because it's a compound that deserves your respect. Okay. Now what I just told you is the truth. About those two compounds and it's important to know the truth because what you don't know can hurt you as usual the government and in particular the DEA is terrified that somewhere in America someone's taking something to feel better.

[01:17:30] So the spotlight has been on this stuff. Okay, they continue. Just read complete BS in lies about it. Don't believe a word that they say especially when they say o someone died from Kratom sidebar. He was taking half a dozen other prescription medication, right? We're some such thing this campaign against Great town.

[01:17:55] Has nothing to do with Public Safety it has everything to do with [01:18:00] predicting big pharma's. Biggest moneymaker, which is opioid painkillers. Okay, they don't know what but you know what the funny thing is cray. Tom is nothing like opioids right opioids make you slow and sloppy and down and do nothing and create table makes you up and excited about life and makes you want to do things and it also may have some analgesic effects as well.

[01:18:26] You know, the idea that they lump it in with opioids is sad to me. Yeah, it really is because it is a tremendous tool to get off of opioids. I've known people that have used it to get off that pilot you were talking about. You know how much those guys are drug tested. I'm sure he appreciates having a compound that he can use when he's not flying right that doesn't flag the test.

[01:18:50] Well, look at Darcy Clark's to comments. He says I've been using Kratom too much lately and have been using seven and a half to eight grams twice a [01:19:00] day. I haven't been getting any negative effects. Only thing I notice is tolerance and I've been using Kratom off and on for over a year. So what would you say about?

[01:19:11] You know, first of all why Darcy, could you comment while you're using it is this as pain management or is this because dealing with coping with life? It just makes you have a more positive outlook y twice a day first of all, and what would you say to somebody who's using those high of doses rob?

[01:19:30] You know, I mean, I would just say that. It's better than using opioid painkillers because Kratom doesn't you know suppress your respiration, but on the other side of the coin coming off Kratom, the withdrawals are not you know, they're about as bad as you would get from caffeine. Yeah, so you can cut you can just stop in most cases, right?

[01:19:55] And and I listen I'd been there there was time when I was taking it daily [01:20:00] and I decided to call turkey at and it was easy. You know dude, you might miss right some of that uplifting thing, but nobody skin is crawling. They're not crawl, you know climbing the walls. So, you know, he's taking it for pain management and he's got Ankylosing Spondylitis and disc herniation.

[01:20:17] Rule, yeah. Oh it's so unfamiliar with both of those and I know how much pain those folks are in. So Dorothea D'Arcy at those high of doses. Does it make you constipated because opioids one of the negative effects of opioids is it slows down digestive Modi motility. I have a feeling that that Kratom does not do that because crate Tom speeds up respiration.

[01:20:40] It speeds up heart rate. I have a feeling it does not affect digestion at high doses. You would know Darcy. Could you. Comment please God. I'm sorry. That would be interesting. I can tell you when I originally started with the compound for a couple weeks. It did have that effect, but interestingly enough as time went on [01:21:00] I had no issues.

[01:21:01] So you hit you did notice some constipation. Yeah early on absolutely and that kind of you know through me because listen digestion is everything. All right, we all the old-timers will tell you the amount of muscle that you build is directly related to the amount of food that you can digest a theme and this is my experience as well.

[01:21:21] I know I'm only taking two and a half grams at a time a couple times a week. But on the days I take it I noticed no change in bowel motility at all. And he says that he notices nothing in that in that area at all. Yeah. Yeah, and it sounds like a similar situation to me. So, you know it listen I would much rather.

[01:21:41] Have you taken create time when opioids 88 in Ray wants to know if anybody's using it in combo with CBD for chronic pain Kratom from breakthrough pain, and so you need to. To the show I did with dr. Andrew yesterday on CBD Aiden if you haven't listened to it [01:22:00] yet some amazing information that most people are using CBD all wrong.

[01:22:05] They using way too high of Doses and more importantly. He explains why full spectrum hemp is more important than CBD. In and of itself, so listen catch yesterday show. I promise you you'll go away from it going. Wow. This is so different. I'm going to try it. But as far as that goes, I'm not a big fan of CBD at all it just it to me if I take a dose that is effective.

[01:22:33] It makes me feel like we'd it just makes me feel tired. Kratom makes me want to get up and do push-ups. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, absolutely. So one other last point that I. Make when it does come to withdrawal been a boot unlike Kratom can be a bear and most people will probably not be able to just taper the dose down and [01:23:00] then come off it because if you're on it every day for extended periods of time, even if you don't, you know, get the shakes and people do, you know, they have fairly severe withdrawal symptoms.

[01:23:15] You're not going to be able to sleep. I can't tell you why but even people that take powerful prescription sleep meds. They can't get to sleep. And it may be that you know, chronic stimulation of the gamma, you know system. Brings that up. So just know that they'll find a boot withdrawals are a lot worse than crater.

[01:23:40] But I think the only place this differs is when you use phenibut for sleep because I can use phenibut for Sleep five or six nights in a row and then run out and not use it and get to sleep fine. And I talked to Anthony Roberts about this I once said to him. Is the [01:24:00] potential dependence and feta beaut worse or not sleeping well, and he said not sleeping well, and so we've had this conversation back and forth and we both came to the same conclusion that I think when you use feta beautiful sleep, you know, and I only need 250 to 300 milligrams of Venom you'd to sleep.

[01:24:20] A lot of people need much higher doses than that. I've taken and in Fade Out. I think there's a gram of pfennig. And I've taken that a couple nights in a row and was able to not use it again to but what I notice is when you use feta Butte for social anxiety and you're up and you're operating and functioning under its Cloud you become used.

[01:24:48] To feeling that way but when you sleep through it, you don't know what you're feeling. It's not like is there you go. I'm so much less scared of Life while I'm sleeping here. I mean and I don't think you develop the the [01:25:00] dependence is easily. When used for sleep just my own assessment. I could be completely wrong now that's an interesting point and hopefully that's the case for those people that do use it for sleep, you know, because you know, first off the withdrawals are terrible and then second off.

[01:25:17] It's really really hard to get back into a normal sleep pattern. So anyway with respect to these two compounds again their hands down the strongest that are legally available. If you do use them, please use them responsibly because the government is just looking to make an example out of you of something bad have the one person meanwhile meanwhile close to 15,000 people a year.

[01:25:46] A harmed or killed by NSAIDs right harmed or killed by MC NSAIDs and the FDA isn't do anything but saying what was the warning on the box? Yeah a lot of not a lot but some [01:26:00] people use fennel boot in lieu of alcohol and a lot of these folks are women. They don't want the calories of the drinks. It is a dangerous type of thing.

[01:26:11] It's dangerous because. They've learned if you mix just a little bit of alcohol with it. It really potentiates its effects and I'm just I'm waiting. I hope it never happens, but I'm just waiting for the person that takes Ben Abu gets in his car. Kill someone as through young via an accident and then says don't know anyway, I wasn't drinking which technically is true.

[01:26:38] I took this stuff and I had no idea I was going to do this terrible thing to me. So, you know again responsible use don't give the government a. Mandar see that said he said I've been on I was on NSAIDs and naproxen since the age of 13 [01:27:00] until about 24 years old it absolutely destroyed my joints and my gut that's very sad when I left the hospital for my latest rhabdo incident.

[01:27:12] They cautioned me against, you know, creatine again to this and against that but the one thing that he really made a point about was NSAIDs. He said absolutely none stay away from him the we very very damaging to your kidneys, especially in this state that I was at. Right? So NSAIDs are bad news.

[01:27:33] We are much better Alternatives. I would say use and the majority of the population. Don't realize that because I I was obsessing when my eye was the worse and I couldn't get a full night's sleep because every time I would go into REM and my I would start dancing the pain would wake me up. And so I finally caved in and went out and got a bottle of ibuprofen and I took to 200 milligrams of [01:28:00] ibuprofen.

[01:28:01] Before bed one night and I got an entire night sleep and I was obsessing about now. I'm gonna have to take these damn things to sleep and I was telling a friend of mine at the Jim Kelly and I said, you know, I'm just so concerned. I'm taking all these things for my liver because I'm taking. To ibuprofen a night right now to sleep and I had only been taking them at that point in time for probably five days goes.

[01:28:28] I don't understand why you're so worried about it. You can take those everyday. I mean that's just an over the counter medication medication. I said, no there really bad for your liver and he just looked at me like I was crazy like yeah people just they think because. You can buy it off the counter at Walgreens that somehow you can take as much as you want and it won't help.

[01:28:49] I won't hurt you. Yeah, it's you know, I just think straight when you do use these compounds and [01:29:00] don't order and book that you for bringing to leave you with two things. There be those. So Darcy Clark says that he's been using RAW full spectrum CBD tincture with Kratom and it gives him great results.

[01:29:12] So there you go Aidan. I think Aiden ask that question earlier. Yeah. Well, you ain't it said 18 also says anyone tried crate Tom as a topical. I don't think it works. I think cray Tom has to be metabolized through the liver first before its active ingredients acts at the bloodstream. Yeah, I might look up the seven hydroxy.

[01:29:35] Mr. Justin Cheney or whatever. It is the active chemical that would be an interesting one, but I would tell you this even if it does get through the skin it's going to be real messy them to apply that putt it's like coffee grinds right the Hulk stuff. Yeah, it sort of just pictured, you know DMSO and coffee grinds.

[01:29:54] That's what you're in for. Yeah. No II like what kraton create time does for my brain more [01:30:00] than what it does as far as an analgesic. I just I feel good. I feel like oh, you're right it you motivated to get things done. You're happy. You want to you know it Bubba. It's an up up up feeling. It's not a down down down feeling like people think it is when you talk about cray Tom and opioid receptors people think oh, so you sit in the corner and you pee yourself in other words right know you you're dancing around the house doing.

[01:30:23] That's Judy here in Malaysia and other place that it grows workers. The people that work in the field about half of them to create time leaves and the other one smoke dope. Who do you think's more productive for? Yeah, the Kratom two hours. Yeah. I mean the people that own the fields really like the great time chewers.

[01:30:44] So take that for what it's worth. Yeah, LL 3 7 and bpc 157 of fantastic for the gut and they should be taken in conjunction a hundred micrograms a day of LL 3 7 and anywhere. 200 micrograms to 300 micrograms a day of bpc [01:31:00] 157 and you do that for six weeks and you'll see changes in your gut that will astonish you it's not a shoe.

[01:31:07] I think that's all we got Rob did we miss anything? Don't we covered it all and thank you. Thanks again. Great show. I learn every week to yeah from the audience we learned this is great. Yeah, we should just put them on camera and you and I can sit back and watch I will see you tomorrow. We actually doing the ReNew Life RX Show with Adam Lamb.

[01:31:26] It's normally on Thursday, but because I'm traveling this Thursday to Boca Raton, like I said anybody who lives in Florida listen to the show from Florida, if you're in the Boca area, hit me up on Facebook Messenger. And we'll try to plan a get together over at redcon one. That should be fun. I'm looking really really really looking forward to hanging out with Aaron cinnamon and his family all look at this Josh field.

[01:31:51] Just going to throw this out there works. Wonderfully to help aid in morning. You might have had one too many beverages the night before. [01:32:00] I can see that right side just from the analgesic effect and you don't have to get up and go sure that's kind of like it's actually better than the hair of the dog that bit you because it's not going to damage your liver anymore from the night before right?

[01:32:14] Thank you Josh. I saw you there brother. Did you see me put your name up on the screen before? I hope you did Josh is my brother from another mother. There you go. All right, that's it great show. Thank you very much. And thank you for everybody who watched and listened looking forward to the real life RX show tomorrow.

[01:32:32] I haven't figured out we're going to talk about but it'll be something HRT. I promise you I see everybody tomorrow with more superhuman radio. Thank you for watching and listening today. And where's the music? Oh Carl's going to get fired. He's not doing his job. There we go.

[01:33:00] [01:33:13] Okay, Aiden Ray. Pointed out that I promised to give a pre-workout and I forgot and I'm not going to do it again to my good friend Lars. So hold on. I'm bringing myself back on camera. Aidan you're right. I this is three weeks. I did this to this guy three weeks three weeks. Okay. So here it is Lars Thorn home who is an amazingly super guy.

[01:33:36] He's like in my age bracket. He's almost 60 in his fifties. Ripped to shreds brilliant very very intelligent guy. He said this is his pre-workout. I'm sorry. Rob couldn't be here for it. My best pre-workout right now is three grams of white Kratom with 5 grams of tyrosine one gram of tienen and mixed into three Deca [01:34:00] leaders.

[01:34:01] Of cold lemon tea organic black and if I'm using creatine at the time, I had creatine into the mix as well. So that is Lars Thorn Holmes favorite pre-workout and he has come about using this pre-workout over the course of a couple years now. He said it gives them energy and focus and obviously has some pain relieving effects and I will also make sure we add this in the middle of the next show.

[01:34:29] I feel so bad. I keep forgetting about him. But anyway, that's it. I'm going to close the show now. Those who stuck around you got his

[01:35:00] [01:34:58] recipe.
