[00:00:00] Hey, hey, welcome back to another episode of superhuman radio. I'm Carl Lanore the one-eyed host. For those of you who are not aware two weekends ago. I scratched my cornea, which should have been fairly uneventful injury a week later. I should have been better. But instead of heating the doctors warning and not wearing contact lenses.

[00:00:53] I continue to wear my contact lens in the right eye and guess what it got infected and now it's a serious thing. In fact, I was told. On [00:01:00] Friday that we would know yesterday whether or not there's a chance. I was going to lose the eye. So this was actually pretty serious about let me bring my my buddy in here Adam Lamb since oh Adam, I don't even have your theme music.

[00:01:13] I'm so sorry. I totally messed up here today, sir. I'm not operating on Full Steam. Not only do I am I do I have impaired right eye vision, but I'm on an eye drop. Sadiq Khan vancomycin and if anybody knows it Vancomycin it is like the worst antibiotic you can be on it has so many side effects.

[00:01:39] Well, one of the side effects is ringing in the ears and dizziness and I'm getting those just because I'm putting it in my eye and it's getting right to my brain. So it's a it's a horrible situation. But the good news is yesterday. The doctor said that the infection is arrested. There's no evidence of infection in the eye any.

[00:01:59] And [00:02:00] the ulcer in the cornea is actually getting smaller. So some of you on the internet have witnessed me putting growth hormone and and BP LL 3/7 of my I had I kept doing that. This wouldn't have happened. But I just did it that one time and went to the doctor and then she said no it's not it's not a conjunctivitis.

[00:02:21] It's a scratch on your cornea and I just followed her directions after that except. I didn't follow her directions when she said Don't wear your contact lens anymore had I kept using the L3 7. I wouldn't have never gotten this infection in my life. I would have done that. So you live and you learn but anyway, I'm feeling good to be here and we have a really important topic.

[00:02:42] And it's a topic that a lot of people don't really think about and I want to putting a picture up between us if a beautiful Ruby Red Grapefruit. I love grapefruit. In fact for about a week. I was eating to add a woe is me. Yeah that that and wait when you realize what grapefruit does that is a [00:03:00] lot of grapefruit and I want to I want to inject something at the beginning of the show today that was taught to me by dr.

[00:03:08] Scott Connolly many years. He and I did a show about the Perils of soy.  And a lot of people think that the phyto estrogens in soy is this wonderful thing that nature is giving us and he explained it in quite a different way and I want you to keep this in the back of your mind when we talk about grapefruit today.

[00:03:32] He said, you know. Plants can't defend themselves. So through over evolutionary periods. They develop anti-nutrients that hurt the animals that eat them to protect themselves and soy developed basically estrogen-like compounds why he said because when the animals ate soy. Their estrogen levels went up [00:04:00] in the males and the females and their reproductive rates went down because of these excessive estrogen levels.

[00:04:07] It caused infertility in the females of the species and cause lack of libido in the males and spermatogenesis in the males. So basically the more they ate soy the faster they would literally wipe themselves off the planet and when he said that I thought to myself this is really interesting because we think everything in fruits.

[00:04:27] And vegetables are just so good for us. He also pointed out to me years later that less than 1% of all the vegetation on the planet is edible. The rest of it is poisonous to us. So for all those people out there who keep telling us that being vegan and vegetables are really the good things. It doesn't look that way.

[00:04:44] There's not a single poisonous animal out there. Except puffer fish and rattlesnake if you happen to eat the poison glands in them, but otherwise you won't die of so, okay, I digress so now let's talk [00:05:00] and and one other thing about three years ago. I did a show about licorice also licorice. If you eat real licorice while you're pregnant it'll destroy your fetus.

[00:05:12] Once again, these anti-nutrients are designed to stop the animals. Pray upon these plants. Okay. Now integrate with your spoil anything though. Just you know, what for what we see to a lot of times it blood work would men will come with unusually higher estrogen level sometimes in the first thing we do is we just kind of go through their diet dissect it and then we find out that there may be some processed foods it they're actually eating heavier.

[00:05:37] Soy based foods with protein bars tons of that protein soy in it things like that will have them remove that. Before their next follow-up blood work and their estrogen will balance out. Oh and you know, I don't want to take this show in a different direction, but there is a show that I've wanted to do for a long time about the actual chemical and molecular basis for gender.

[00:06:00] [00:06:00] Diversity there really is a very good group of studies out there from from Finland three scientists who did about eight studies showed that they could actually produce male rodents that. Males. Are you touched on that one show before? I think you said? Yeah. So when you see the amount of estrogen during pregnancy, yeah, it's addicted to through the treat three trimesters right sex.

[00:06:28] The the sex organs are actually influenced during the first trimester, but the sexual preference Connections in the brain happened in the third trimester. So if you have an abundance of estrogenic compounds in the beginning.  and then you have an abundance of. Compounds at the end. You'll have a female genitalia with a preference for other females.

[00:06:53] So it's also and so when we talk about this type of stuff and we talked about [00:07:00] what plants can do and then we see vegan. Families feeding their children soy a shake three or four times a day and we see little boys that have very feminine Tendencies. It doesn't it doesn't evade me that I look at this I go these people actually causing this problem with their diet.

[00:07:17] But okay. So now let's talk about the beautiful lovely grapefruit. I love them you like. You know, I like my I don't know eat them a lot. Like I remember my grandfather was a kid used to it. So I lived with him but we he would do he also has Type 2 diabetes will put sugar on put it in a bowl cutting apples are gonna dig it out of the spoon.

[00:07:38] That's a special speed add special spoons or grandparents that had like serrated edges that you could cut around the grapefruit. Right. Yeah. So yeah, I don't know that eating grapefruit with a pile of sugar on it as a good idea. But he also yeah, so, okay. So let's talk about let's talk about grapefruit.

[00:07:54] Let me get my agenda up here. Right? So what I want to propose today is should we be [00:08:00] looking at grapefruit as a fruit or actually as a drug, okay.  The four major flavonoids and grapefruit and their engine quercetin camphor all and delimiting. All four of these have a profound effect on an area of the liver responsible for.

[00:08:23] metabolizing.  Hormones and pharmaceutical drugs which is the p450 cytochrome enzyme Cascade their engine specifically and camphor all specifically cause the enzymes to stop. In fact, we'll bring came on my show two or three weeks ago when we talked about NAD NAD. Do you remember that discussion?

[00:08:54] No, I think I missed it. But I know will what we he came on my show a few weeks ago. We [00:09:00] talked about NAD and everybody's all crazy about nicotinamide d-ribose and its anti-aging and he said, you know, if you just take niacin and eat grapefruit the grapefruit suppresses the. Enzyme that keeps the NAD from accumulating.

[00:09:18] So so so grapefruit is very very powerful actor on the liver. Okay. So when we look at what reminds me of something I used to do like put when I'm in my bodybuilding days when I'd run my body through the gauntlet actually just I totally forgot about this till just now I would do. A cocktail post-show right after I've just beat the heck out of my body.

[00:09:46] My liver is gone through the gamut we would do for there's like 4 tablespoons. It might even have been four ounces. Honestly. I think it might have been as much as four ounces of olive oil with [00:10:00] non-sweet grapefruit juice like 8 ounces of that mix it up chug it down and it would just clean it out. I totally forgot just like just hitting you and you said it.

[00:10:10] It was something that we used to do. I used to work with George Ferry years ago. And that's what that was like the post competition get your liver back and check and put that it all that makes sense just because it gets to the liver. Well, there's no doubt that grapefruit has a profound effect on the liver.

[00:10:30] But when we're talking about this we have to forget this idea that it's actually good for us and we have to look back at dr. Scott Connolly's. In about soy and estrogens not being there for us to benefit from but in fact to keep us from eating this stuff would make us sick. Yeah. So so and the more the more red in the grapefruit the more this problem is Ruby Red Grapefruit to even worse than just a good ol yellow grapefruits and even oranges to a certain [00:11:00] degree have some of this but not what's in a ruby red grapefruit not what's in there.

[00:11:05] And so if you are somebody who is of. Age where your hormones are starting to get wonky your perimenopausal or you're one of these guys who's in your late 40s and you're starting to feel the effects of andropause and you think you know, I'm going to eat a grapefruit a day because I just read this research on the grapefruit diet because it does affect fat excretion through the liver it does it mean in effect it Jack's the liver up grapefruit.

[00:11:36] Jack's the liver up it takes it hostage. Makes it do stuff. It's not supposed to do like just get rid of all the fat which is not really something that's beneficial from an evolutionary perspective. But it also starts to force the but if you have a fatty liver, is it a good idea? I think if you have a fatty liver, there are better ways to address it then grapefruit just because grapefruit doesn't have a [00:12:00] specific enough effect.

[00:12:01] Just on fat it has a broad effect on the entire lid. It really does. I'm at the point now. I love grapefruit. Maybe I'll eat one a week maybe and that's it. So there are studies out there that show that grapefruit juice grapefruit drinks or even just plain old Ruby Red Grapefruit fruit eating them does different things to hormones.

[00:12:30] So for instance, If you're taking oral estrogen.  It will cause the estrogen to accumulate dramatically in 12 hours estrogen levels start to Peak because the body's not excreting any of it. It's keeping it all inside. Okay in the case of endogenous. Hormones that your body produces it only bioaccumulates Esther own and you and I both know that extra own is the bad estrogen for women, [00:13:00] right?

[00:13:00] Okay, and so it does different things to the to the hormones or hormone like molecules that are coming in through your digestive tract versus what's already inside you but none of it is good and it causes an accumulation of progesterone. It causes an accumulation of. Eh, eh, eh, it causes an accumulation of testosterone.

[00:13:24] I know right now guys are going. Oh, well, I'll just eat no because every hormone in your body gets goes through the roof when you are consuming grapefruit. Now think of now think of this you're young you're in your twenties. This is no big deal. Right the body's got a lot of flexibility. It can jack things around and kind of accommodate this but you're starting to go through menopause or andropause.

[00:13:48] And you're already having some problems. You could wake up what you could be great for one day and wake up in the middle of the night, which I did by the way II texted you. Remember I said I had hot flashes last night. I don't know [00:14:00] what's going on. Is it is it my HCG know what's the HCG? I was eating to grapefruit a day for a week because you know me I'm Carla nor I do everything in excess right to Great Britain days.

[00:14:11] I'll area but I love them. They're so good. They taste so delicious, you know, okay, I. Myself hot flashes. Why because my estrogen and progesterone went out of whack. Wow, so when we think about when we think about grapefruit, we need to start thinking about what is it actually doing to the endogenous and exogenous hormones in our body and when you are going through menopause, you should never be eating grapefruit.

[00:14:40] If you are an HRT, or you're not on HRT grapefruit is the last thing you should be eating in my humble opinion. Now you said that you had a bad experience with grapefruit with something once right? Yeah, I was sensitive to it. So I get to the point. I'll tell you in its this is something I had for 20 years.

[00:14:57] I've always been aware of grapefruits presence [00:15:00] with medication, whether stimulant medication or whatever I'm or even like taking a fat burner and then drinking grape fruit juice, like you're gonna have a panic attack it really stuff. That's like what would happen with me or taking something back in the day like a man, I'd say the worst you want to panic attack take a clue.

[00:15:15] We're all grapefruit. No forget about it. Good that that's that's a that's a compound that has a very very thin line of what is overdose? Yeah, and that great food could put you right into overdose on Columbia. It's it's one of the worst dress especially for men and women, but women that gets abused in the fitness industry.

[00:15:33] Is that computer? It doesn't even do that much at your rattling. You're nervous systems, right? Burn some fat just a little bit of extra cardio our custom cut some calories somewhere. But anyway the to the point though that I even have a. Little like these little drinks that I like to have their you know, yeah water, I guess those two.

[00:15:51] Yeah, but I have one that's a great fruit flavored and I won't drink it if I've got to like take my morning vitamins or whatever, you know, I mean, I won't I'll bet it's not even that it would [00:16:00] matter but in my head I'm like, I can't have the grapefruit flavor because I'm going to take my vitamins.

[00:16:04] I got to have that strawberry watermelon flavor and it seems silly but that's how engraved it's been in my head that grapefruit can be so powerful. And that's the one thing when you look at you know, you get. It's sometimes I mean, it's goofy. Look at a pill bottle. It says do not take with grapefruit.

[00:16:20] Right? I mean that should stand out and the reality is those was only 1987 that they discovered pharmaceutical drug interactions with grapefruit. It's just a short time ago that they figured this out. There are people who have died because they went on vacation to Mexico and they were drinking papaya and grapefruit juice all day long and and all of a sudden their blood pressure medication like tripled in dosa.

[00:16:45] Shut them down Wow Let's Start interested. But yeah, I know that there's been deaths with I don't think Viagra like those those drugs. I think I've heard some stories or that absolutely it'll double and triple your dose. [00:17:00] And and so here's the real issue. So you instinctively think well, I'm not going to drink grapefruit.

[00:17:05] I'm taking these but the problem is that the neuringer. Infiltrates the liver and bioaccumulates and stays active for days. So there was a friend of mine some of you may remember Eric portraits of primordial performance Eric discovered that if he took a certain form of DHEA and combined it with. It actually converted to Master on in the liver.

[00:17:36] So he came out with the hardening supplement. This is probably seven eight maybe longer year the he was he was actually shut down by the FDA. Wow. What Eric did. He combined pharmaceutical Nur Engine with this specific form of DHEA the Nur engine suppress a certain enzyme the DHEA converted to DHT in the [00:18:00] liver.

[00:18:00] Pure unadulterated DHT the more you took the higher it. But you had to take the supplement for a week before I started working because it took time for the accumulation and the resident and the nor engine to take up residence in the liver to actually cause this phenomenon to happen. So convert it to master.

[00:18:20] Ah, yes master on is DHE, right? Yeah. Yeah, which would be a good provider and I think was the oral pill that they don't do in the United States. Yeah, he sold it as a hardening agent and everybody who used. Wait, does it does it inhibit Cy before or lack evidence about that? I don't know about that particular one.

[00:18:40] I just know that it affects all of the cytochrome enzyme Cascades including aromatase, right? It actually grapefruit suppresses the aromatase enzyme now guys are going to go I'm going to eat it because I want to suppress the Roman says no the problem is it jacks up everything not just you know, if we could get it to [00:19:00] just focus on aromatase.

[00:19:01] I'd be like, this is great stuff. But it's not great for a couple times a week. So you print it imagine imagine for a second that you are a woman and you're in your 30s and you're trying to get pregnant and you can't so you go to a fertility clinic and they give you progesterone injections.  Right, and they're trying to get your progesterone into a certain range so that you can actually become fertile and conceive and you happen to have grapefruit a couple times a week.

[00:19:31] You won't be able. Pregnant and you won't understand why you'll think to yourself. I don't understand I'm doing everything the doctor says without even thinking that that grapefruit drink that you get at Whole Foods or the grapefruit water or that grapefruit you love to have for lunch three or four times a week is actually causing those hormones to stay out of whack and keep you from getting pregnant.

[00:19:52] I ate one of my business partners whose wife. I think they're in the process of maybe making and I'm going to have to ask him [00:20:00] if. She's jerking grapefruit for eating grapefruits. You know what I mean? Because it's especially when you're going through and it makes it makes it but it'll definitely make it more difficult for her to get pregnant.

[00:20:11] I want to I want to take a quick commercial break when we come back. I want to talk specifically now. I want to shift a little bit and talk about thyroid hormone because the irony is that while grapefruit seems to make sex hormones accumulate and certain pharmaceutical drugs it actually crushes.

[00:20:31] That's so this is why I say grapefruit is like a drug man. It is it wreaks Havoc with your endocrine system stay tuned. We'll be right back. I can do this with one eye. I'm putting khalid's message back up here. He said does it inhibit cyp3a4 a. And so real quick. I went into a bunch of the papers that I have sitting in front of me.

[00:20:52] And and in fact, it does let me find the one I was looking for.  It's bear with me here.  [00:21:00] Come on.

[00:21:04] I just had it in front of me. That's funny. Here it is. So it says the inhibitory effects of grapefruit juice on the intestinal cytochrome p450 specifically 3/8. For interacts with more than 60 percent of all orally administered drugs leading to elevation of their serum concentrations consumption of a single 6 ounce glass of grapefruit juice produces the maximal acute pharmacokinetic effect.

[00:21:34] That's very. With enhanced oral drug bioavailability occurring up to 24 hours after consumption. So see it stays active in you a day later an effect is seen with the whole fruit as well as with the juice and chronic consumption Carlin or may enhance the magnitude of the effect furo. Sherman's have been [00:22:00] identified as the active ingredient in grapefruit responsible for this particular three for a effect.

[00:22:07] So there's your answer Khalid him. Look how look you go through stints of grapefruit because I know they're kind of seasonal or is it like. Are you pounding to now? I only I only eat them in the summertime because the you know, I buy organic grapefruit that basically like big deal that doesn't play any role in this at grapefruit seems to have an interaction with P.

[00:22:28] Glycoproteins inorganic keishon Transporters dresser interesting. So tell me more Kirk, what does that mean to us in English put it up and and and will will show it up here. So again, you know, we need to start thinking about grapefruit as. Rug, it is not a fruit and I wouldn't give it to my children.

[00:22:48] I got to tell you the truth. So grapefruit is also been shown to totally destroy the thyroid hormone uptake into cells and if you're on [00:23:00] oral thyroid medication, it suppresses its absorption. So think about this it's jacking sex steroids through the roof. It's crushing thyroid hormone. Could you imagine animals that feasted on on grapefruit day in and day out they would be extinct in a year.

[00:23:16] There'll be no reproductive Cycles at all. I wonder who does I'm trying to think of like what animals would but hurts and sex well wrote, you know rodents obviously wrote. It's right and you when you think about when you think about the kind of citrus plantations they have in Florida and in Arizona.

[00:23:34] Yeah, you know rabbits rodents, you know Birds small small animal small Critters weasels and stuff like that. They would eat the fruit that falls to the floor for sure. So we're talking about something that we don't really like if you want to destroy a population give them plenty of grapefruit juice.

[00:23:55] Hey, we're going to start sending a grapefruit juice all-you-can-drink. Just keep drinking it. That's all [00:24:00] right, it's funny. So what you said earlier about caffeine is another one. It's a grapefruit has been shown to double and triple the if the the absorption and bioaccumulation of caffeine and you know, some of us actually have like I had the 23andMe and I'm supposed to be a fast excrete Ur of caffeine me too me too.

[00:24:24] But now when I have grapefruit and I wake up in the middle of the night, I'm like man, I can't go to sleep as I don't like I said, you know, I even thought about doing a commercial break. I don't even buy grapefruit because I know the risk the thought process that has to come into the timing of meat eating it and knowing like how it can interact with stuff.

[00:24:46] I just don't like right like what's if I take a pre-workout like what's it may be affects me or what's if I take a my daily vitamin stuff. What's if I take my peptides before I go to bed. Look at all those things that I do in my life. [00:25:00] That you know the testosterone cream like what could it do? My you know, I don't know so I just don't even buy it right and see what my kids like.

[00:25:08] You never know when you might your kids might have it. Like you said, you wouldn't give it to your children when your kids might have it and something else they might have potentially that wouldn't be an issue that could interact. Yes, something like a little blood sugar situation or Zack you think of having like as a kid low blood sugar situation that happened because of.

[00:25:27] Griffin intake because my grandpa was like you who always had it around, you know, I mean like it was like his daily thing he'd split, you know grapefruit have half and throw the other half in the fridge and have the other half later, right or I give it to me. What's interesting is crazy. So Kirk says drug interactions that are not mediated by Microsoft Malai so enzymes like the seafood p450 cytochrome enzyme Cascade and this is interesting that he says this because there is now emerging information.

[00:25:57] Grapefruit may actually [00:26:00] alter the microbiota in the gut and this is the way it it blunts the absorption of thyroid like if you take thyroid hormone.  It doesn't even get in if you take your Armour Thyroid and you've been eating grapefruit. It doesn't even get in you it Alters the microbiome of the gut to wear for some reason you don't absorb.

[00:26:23] And who knows what else you're not absorbing. I mean, you know, there's lots of things here. Let's not forget intrinsic factor in the gut and its role in absorbing B12. So, you know, we haven't really studied.  All of the potential roles or endocrine disruption that grapefruit May produce, but it produces so much blatantly that you have to think to yourself This is like a smart bomb fruit now.

[00:26:52] There's no money in checking out. What grapefruit does he? All right, so that it doesn't get done but you're right. It's [00:27:00] it requires some thought process and look or like I said my prop thought processes. I just eliminate it entirely. Yeah to the point of like an infused flavor inside of my water.

[00:27:10] I won't drink because I'm worried about if there could be a negative side effects. Well one study looked specifically at grapefruit grapefruit juice and grapefruit drinks and how it affected. 17 beta estradiol and all of them did so you did so that just goes to show you that you don't need a lot here.

[00:27:32] Look at this as a molecule is a molecule whether comes from nature or from Eli Lilly. Yeah. Yeah. Right, you know they looked at 17 beta II stood aisle and 17 beta estradiol levels went up even with grape fruit flavored drinks that use natural grape flavor great prayer player, so. You know, you know, this is the season for grapefruit.

[00:28:00] [00:27:59] I've been pounding them down. I can tell you that I've stopped I had one yesterday. I have to be honest. I just couldn't help myself. I just love the flavor of grapefruit. Maybe there's some addictive quality or or maybe the fruit is so smart that it makes you crave it even more the more you eat it so that you just die faster.

[00:28:19] So, I mean that's the goal of the fruit is here to kill us the tree gets the lit right the. Is not the tree right? It's the fruit is its as its seen so right because so if you're eating it rather you die. So those seeds well, it's I was gonna say it's a black widow. It's a black widow tree when you think about it, right?

[00:28:39] It kills its mate, right? So the tree needs us to eat it and poop the seeds out. We're gonna talk about the seeds in a little film. But it kills you in the process like the black widow kills her mate after she mates with him, you know, it's like yeah, I want you to take these seeds and eat this [00:29:00] fruit and go poop that over there because this is before Modern Sanitation.

[00:29:03] We poop in a toilet. We should poop on the ground and another tree would grow but while you're doing that I'm going to kill you and you're fertilizing. The seeds and also if it like you were saying with the gut biomes if it changes the gut biome to lower the absorption less likely to destroy the seed and the system.

[00:29:24] Yeah, so like to say keep eating them into white interesting. So that's the fertilization process for the seed. Very interesting. They're like, come on monkeys community. Well, like what was that? Alien? Right he would make his baby inside you and you become an incubator, you know, it's really interesting that you say that that's a really interesting observation.

[00:29:47] So smart plant could be. Yes the altering what these plants are smart. They are they evolve right alongside of us. They can't run they can't fight. They can't bite so they have developed anti-nutrient molecules to [00:30:00] kill us if we pray on them too much but interestingly what you just said is interesting because.

[00:30:06] It could disarm the digestive process to protect the genetic DNA. So you do pass it out and whole very interesting very interesting. I mean would I watch the documentary? I think it was plants in that in the Amazon or something like that and there's some crazy crazy plans. I mean when you look at the manipulation, it all makes sense.

[00:30:26] It's just a matter of. How much are you thinking about the process? You know what I mean that like obviously like a cactus right? It's got spikes or whatever but there's different things that different, you know, you never know especially over the course of tens of thousands or millions of years if something's survival.

[00:30:43] It's all going to get better. Now. This is something I didn't find. So Kurt Yaeger is saying the pseudo bro, scientists waved their hands in the air proclaiming it lowers hematocrit and erythrocytes. Yeah for sure, but think about this think about if you're not shooting six grams of test a week, you're just an average [00:31:00] human being you don't want to know your hematocrit or urethra sites right now.

[00:31:04] I think we always say that if you have hematocrit in your hemoglobin are too high and hormone replacement therapy, you're doing it wrong right whether you're doing your shot should be split like all that kind of stuff. But yeah, he's right it that grapefruit juice definitely will help lower it but can also help lower.

[00:31:23] Well, I mean it just look I want to say it. Hello is on the no it lowers. Something's it raises some things. It blunts the absorption of some things. It really should be called human Havoc fruit, right? Because what it does is it literally is a smart bomb to disrupt the entire endocrine system the energy production system the gut digestive system and everything all at once and do it deliciously, right?

[00:31:50] So beautiful grapefruit. Oh look how. Beautiful that ruby red I made it is really a brilliant a concoction. When you think about that note that he's [00:32:00] put up though. You know, it's I would say that someone who's in the space of hormones, like myself have never not one single time ever because I like how he put Bro Science in there have ever told anyone to drink to take great for your drink grapefruit in order to lower that because like I said before I do share the same why should I share it with you?

[00:32:19] Because you still encrypted all the time. I don't but I. Grapefruit is a scary scary group. Right? I almost said drug because does it really isn't it was cool that he brought that up and I was like, yeah, I couldn't even I wouldn't even eat one. So he he posted the so I'm going to put this up there just to laugh because it's going to cover our entire faces watch.

[00:32:41] Boom ha ha Kirk man. We can't read all that on the air brother, but it looks really interesting. And anybody who wants to come and read the in thing in its entirety just has to come back to this Facebook live and find it but it's I think that we can all agree that [00:33:00] you should eat grapefruit with the same caution that you do arsenic.

[00:33:08] I mean arsenic won't kill you and a small dose. It'll make you sick as hell and I think grapefruit will do the same thing to you and you just won't notice it. You won't know that you won't know why you feel crappy. You won't know why you don't have any energy. You won't know why you feel cold, or hot.

[00:33:22] You won't know why you're getting hot flashes or you're not getting hot flashes. You won't know why you're getting erections and not getting erections. You won't know why you can get pregnant or can't get pregnant and it could be the son of a gun piece of fruit here that you just happen to love to eat because guess what?

[00:33:38] Grapefruit a healthy for us write it in, you know in a lot of the conversation we have with our hormone clients it ReNew Life. We talked about like environmental stuff. It's not like here's your blood work. Here's the drugs. You need to get better we talk about like what do you eat? What you eat today?

[00:33:54] What are your habits? What are the things? What are the kind of lotions you put on what kind of shampoo it like those kind of those kind of [00:34:00] conversations if there is a issue that doesn't seem to make sense and but I'll tell you something. Don't think about grapefruit and I will now moving forward that's where some of these these shows are so valuable because it will be a conversation that starts.

[00:34:16] I've already during the break text, but the friend of mine asked if his wife is eating grapefruit or drinking grape fruit juice or you drink a great. I used to buy that same water at Whole Foods that you held up. Kolya, the great political. Yeah, it's delicious. It's fresh tasting. It's delicious six of you.

[00:34:35] Ask a question. Just carbonated water like this. Is that bad for you think I don't know about that. I don't think so. I mean they drink a lot of mineral water and and Europe and yeah, they all live loads. I don't know that but but let's not forget that oranges and lemons and limes all have certain amounts of what grapefruit seems to possess it possesses soap.

[00:34:56] So great. Kind of like the nuclear [00:35:00] right the version of the citrus fruit. It's the wonderful eat eat any fruit and maybe that's bad. No, you know what I got to be honest with you this whole notion of a balanced diet is complete bullshit it right. I mean, you know areas of the world which would be majority of the areas of the world where there isn't really a lot of fruit options, right?

[00:35:21] Like if you were to look at in sisters, I like the tens of thousands years ago. And so we did didn't eat food if you lived in the Middle East he first made Fruit there is there different stuff. So like I just I don't need it. I'm I do like salads idea vegetable. I got a lot of guys like Chris Powell's good friend of mine who's a big diamond the carnivore diet lot of those but I still I still like my salads actually saw you posted some with an avocado the other day and I gave him a hard time because I'm like, that's not a certain animal.

[00:35:50] I just want I just hope avocado doesn't turn out to be bad because I eat two of those a day. So oh, yeah, I love them all there are they're awesome. But HDL man, I'll tell you the studies. I've read that would [00:36:00] be a great show we could look into is is HDL and there's a there's a genetic see tme or CTE em or something like that and it's a something that shows that the body converts cholesterol and HDL at a better and it's like the same thing that all these X ensuring tap.

[00:36:16] They all like test positive for this genetic thing that with high HDL because I see people who. It's in his it's quite a come through and they're like guys are in their late 50s 60s, their HDL is like the kind of guy who recently is hcos at 90 and I'm like dude you're going to live to a hundred twenty.

[00:36:32] All right. Elise is HDL is always in the low 100s. It was like a hundred and twenty six and she even reserve and when we first started dating her doctor was telling her she had high cholesterol, and I said why and when we looked at our total cholesterol, it was high, but when you factor it out the HDL, it was really very low and I said, Don't have high cholesterol.

[00:36:53] No, it's rare to have a good healthy high cholesterol Finn. I think that stuff that we've been looking [00:37:00] into is it really dictates a lot of the longevity of your life and health, you know it so I'm like obsessed. Mine was actually lower than I like it to be I even have some walnuts here on my keep on my desk just like if I'm hungry I reach to them.

[00:37:15] I had an allergy test recently on her back. We did I did the allergy testing then there was some cashews things like that. It said I. You're too and even though my allergist. Dr. Friend said no, it's inconclusive. You can still eat them subconsciously. I stopped eating them and I feel like a lot of my healthy fats.

[00:37:30] It went it went down and I didn't like remain HDL was so I'm back in this like each day. I'll kick of and that's why things like avocados like I would love just too lazy to cut them. I love them avocados. If someone to like prepare me one or two every day. I eat him with a spoon HL is only as good as let me put this up to serve I can see you're only as good as its.

[00:37:51] Quality over quantity the dysfunctional HDL that acts very Rogue. Like how do you know what dysfunctional [00:38:00] HDL is Kurt Yaeger? We should just bring Kirk on the show to a my I can send them a link and we can actually bring a lawn to on Facebook if you want me to I will but so.  The interesting thing about this is just this morning someone posted a link.

[00:38:18] They cool a Tim Gwynn posted on. Chuckle about that ldl-c has less to do with arterial sclerosis and heart disease than we thought and I said to him about nine years ago. I had the two authors of the paper.  About cholesterol and heart disease. It was supposed to be like a watershed paper that answered all the questions about the role of cholesterol and cardiovascular disease.

[00:38:46] And as we were talking it was a guy and a girl he was the lead author. He was an older guy. She was young. She was like his student and I said to him. Well, let me ask you a question I said is it possible to have high LDL [00:39:00] cholesterol and not have cardiovascular disease. He said yes, we see people like I said, okay I said, okay, is it possible to have really good low LDL cholesterol and still have cardiovascular.

[00:39:15] These he said oh, yeah I said so I said so really cholesterol doesn't cause cardiovascular disease. He goes. No. No, it does it does so I was real quiet. I was real quiet and I said and I this is the first time I used my analogy I have this analogy when I talk to people about cholesterol. I say well if I punch a hole in your wall and you spackle it what caused the problem me punching the hole.

[00:39:40] Are you spackling it? Oh, no, you punching the hole. Okay. So cholesterol is kind of like the Spackle. Trying to repair the intima of the arteries because because they've been infiltrated with information and they've been torn up and they're bruised and I gave it that analogy and he said to me what scientists and Physicians have [00:40:00] said to me ever since it's not that simple.

[00:40:03] Anytime I use critical thinking to expose the flaws in their science. They always say to me. Ah, no, it's not that simple and that's supposed to make me go. Oh, okay. I'm just an idiot and you know some know it is that simple some time. But when your science has holes in it, then go back and do the work and find out the answers, right?

[00:40:22] I think what you know what we do when we look at blood work. Well, let's say you have higher cholesterol would say Okay. Carl will suck about what you eat like, okay you eat whole eggs you eat red meat you eat the fire. Okay, if you eat higher cholesterol foods and you have higher LDL that makes sense right brought it in.

[00:40:39] But if you're it's a different that's a different conversation that it let's say your LDL is 150. The same guy comes in as ldls 150 eats fast food once a day for lunch. He smokes cigarettes. His blood pressures at 140 years is at 120. There's a big difference in that humans life that that factor of LDL now [00:41:00] if is LDL wasn't 150 and it was it.

[00:41:02] 98 is he still at high risk? Hell yeah, right just because it's lifestyle. Right? So if your if your cholesterols high like somebody's carnivore guys that we see there were better cholesterols whoo, you know, but it makes sense because of what they're eating. Right and I mean, but the blood pressure is good.

[00:41:19] Yeah, they're exercising every single day and I had I would look at them and I would look at their C-reactive protein. I'd look at their homocysteine levels. I would look at all. We're at the tnf-alpha. I would look at all their inflammatory markers and I would go okay, you got high cholesterol, but you've got no inflammation problem.

[00:41:36] So I wouldn't worry about it. I would actually I mean I'd say that to myself. That's why we're so let's look at this here Kurt Yaeger says, I believe the Cleveland Clinic offers blood tests that show the functionality of HDL through its capability of reverse cholesterol transport, which is what it's supposed to do.

[00:41:51] We have we have some stuff to do really just rarely. Yeah LabCorp hasn't we were in a clue? You ever do want now? When do you when do you run that on somebody [00:42:00] we don't because that's not what we treat. Right? Like that's it's it's something that we look at on a Surface but you know, we stay in our lane and so if there's some crazy cholesterol as you comes over you say hey, you need to go see a cardiologist who actually just we have one that came from your shows a client of ours because that's his Lane, right?

[00:42:19] It's not hormones. And so. We look at a lot of those things just similar like we might have sown as at igf-1 level that's higher than like way higher than it should be which typically mean there's a pituitary issue maybe humor like that will send them to an endocrinologist. Right? Even though they're Endo might not understand hormone replacement therapy to the effect that we do that something that they can treat MRIs and do those kind of things.

[00:42:45] So we just check right we check, you know, your CVC plan of things come back. Goofy. Something's too low or something's too high. Well, so hey, here's a flag because maybe they haven't had blood work done in five years and even though it's going and I mean, let's write don't for stuff done. So if we see that [00:43:00] stuff, it's just a health thing that we hit go do this.

[00:43:02] We'll fix your hormone stuff, but the other stuff we go somewhere and you will send him some are I look at my image and I feel like I should be going arrr matey. Yeah. I was thinking some glasses might have you II didn't I didn't I did the show the other day with sunglasses, but I feel like a douche like.

[00:43:18] Well, if I did it though to HR. Oh, yeah, if you put them onto that I look cool. Okay. All right, but then I can't then I can't read I can't read anything then so Mike bear said something very nice. Yeah, I want to put this up for everybody to see Mike bear said this is such a great show. Very important information can fruit vegetables spices be medicine.

[00:43:36] I say yes, definitely more powerful than chemicals. You all are awesome. Thank you for bringing this to the Forefront and he's right and guess what Mike guess where they find all their medicines in nature. You find them in nature. That's what we haven't said yet. And that's you know, the goofy stuff because technology where it's at now is we discover things, you know, it's never the pharmaceutical companies are discovering it [00:44:00] someone else discovers it and they figure out how to change it a little bit so they can patent it and tax it but I mean we think about amino acids naturally occurring Amino.

[00:44:10] So many drugs, you know, they're based on that. They just tweak some stuff and add something and there it is, you know, even some point and they basically turn it into poison, right? So so sis plant in the most popular chemo drug used today was discovered because Native Americans back in the day when they had these things that they called something else, but it was obviously cancer.

[00:44:33] They would eat May apples. The mayapple is a very very bitter very tart very. Hard very fibrous Apple no one eats them because they don't taste good. Well it lo and behold that may apples actually have what is molecular Lee the blueprint for sis planted and so they discovered that the Native Americans were using these to cure basically with his cancer.

[00:44:58] Research to [00:45:00] may apple and they said oh this thing here and they called it's planted everything that that medicine exploit starts in nature the blue shirt begins and then they try to find a way to tweak it so that it's not natural any. So that they can patented and charge you thousands and thousands of dollars for they've done this for be I mean every Everything rapid beeping rapidly.

[00:45:26] Yeah. Yeah rapamycin was a mold discovered in on this and that and yeah, I mean everything they do this to everything. So it's a and here Kirk since he can't join us live. He put his sunglasses on also. So there you go. I want to take a quick commercial break when we come back. We'll wrap this up.

[00:45:43] Hopefully people will not only. Be cautious of eating pineapple pineapples. That's National apples now and obviously great light shade vegetables nightshade vegetables those kind of things [00:46:00] too. And like look dude. Tom Brady can't be mine. Tom Brady is the oldest of quarterback in history of the sport and the dude does not eat any nightshades or any mushrooms only looks like he's 32.

[00:46:11] He has a very strict diet. They say he's boring to go out to dinner with who cares. Cares wonder when did we have to eat the same Foods in order to enjoy each other's company. When did that happen? I stay tuned. We'll be right back.  I gotta introduce a new sponsor real quick and some of you have heard of them.

Have been FDA approved and have shown great efficacy for you know quite a few people. So it's legit very very legit. I'll check them out.

[00:49:19] Keeps.com /s a charge on Peaks is on the road John Peaks checks into the show from different states because he's an over-the-road truck driver only have a couple hours to get into the gym here in Arizona then off to California to get a load of produce. That will be driven in central Arkansas on Sunday.

[00:49:39] Keep it strong brother. He trains on the road. He man he is hacked his body John. I met John a few years ago. He was having problems because he said Over The Road Trucker with sleep. He now uses melatonin and blue blocking glasses when it's time for him to get into the sleeper and his partner to drive.

[00:49:56] He puts the blue blockers on two hours before he says he's ready to go to sleep. He [00:50:00] gets in there. He takes his melatonin. He dozes off goes to sleep wakes up revive gets to the gym. Everybody's going maybe he's making it work for him. You know, a lot of people have excuses why they can't make it work.

[00:50:10] If John Peaks can make it work anybody can make right? Right, right. Sure. So let's sum up what we're talking about here today, right? What does this all mean? This means that when you eat grapefruit, you should take it very seriously like you're taking a drug and you should think about okay. I want to eat this grapefruit, but I may not feel good later tonight or tomorrow.

[00:50:33] Am I ready for that? If that's not part of my plan then maybe forgo the grapefruit or eat it and just know that you may not feel great for the next day or two. Well, you know, I think it's something that we haven't talked about in you know, I don't drink but I think of yeah, I used to bartend and and I used to drink quite a bit but I think of what people ordering vodka grapefruit right like so it's a grapefruit juice with alcohol man.

[00:50:58] Well there goes that you want to [00:51:00] have an embarrassing night out with your. Drink that right. And so I think that that's something to talk about to is the concept of people that are consuming alcohol and with grapefruit juice as I never thought about that and then here yeah. Yeah for anything of the great the name of the vodka grapefruit has a remember the little grenadine in it doesn't have a little grenadine in it.

[00:51:26] They put a little paint red might not at something sun right week to cute medical skills. He also knows that maybe tequila orange juice, but it's been a long time since up for drinks. But yeah, I mean there's there's there's drinks like that or you know, you're on some Fufu vacation and you know, they got some food drink and next thing, you know, you're intoxicated more than you would be and you're blaming it on the sun blaming it on.

[00:51:54] Maybe you didn't eat enough. We really might be the grapefruit and your cocktail. Yes, because it's causing a [00:52:00] change in the enzymes that would. We break down and help you excrete that alcohol. So there's no doubt that that's that's a very very valid point, you know, and the other the other thing is if you're out drinking grapefruit and vodka and then you get back to the room with your girlfriend and all of a sudden mr.

[00:52:17] Winky says nah, I don't want to play tonight anything catchy. What's wrong with me? Well your estrogen levels. I mean the the interesting thing about the research I saw on sex hormones was 17 beta estradiol. Was the most affected by grapefruit? I mean it it peaked in like six hours after a drink. I mean it was up.

[00:52:40] So six hours isn't long, you know, you're out to dinner you're drinking grapefruit and vodka you go out dancing, you're drinking grapefruit vodka, you know eight nine hours later get back to the room and you get in bed and all of a sudden you have this embarrassing moment. You can't figure it out.

[00:52:52] Well, maybe your estrogen levels just went through the roof. Maybe you actually feel like braiding your girlfriend's hair instead of making love [00:53:00] to her, you know, a might happen. Yeah, man, it's also got a braid hair. But yeah, I'm I'm going to pass on grapefruit for a while. I literally was eating it every day for the past couple years till you know, give yourself a 30-day of grapefruit fast and see if you notice improvements and areas of your life.

[00:53:21] Yeah. No, no doubt. I'd like I texted. It's funny. I woke up one night about 3 o'clock in the morning.  And I got up and I got out of the bedroom because I didn't want to wake a Lisa up and I felt warm and clammy on my face my chest my back and I literally started sweating and I thought you know, I don't have any chest pain.

[00:53:45] The first thing I'm thinking is you know, they say when you have a heart attack you start sweating and stuff. I'm like, I don't have any chest pain but man something and I kept thinking, you know, when you have anxiety like something's wrong. Something's wrong. I don't know what it is, but something's wrong and I realized I was [00:54:00] having an anxiety attack to and then I sat there for a second I said, oh man, I feel like this is what people women will go into menopause say they they wake up their bodies are so hot.

[00:54:09] They're sweating. They have an anxiety attacks and the next morning. I texted you when I said, you know, I know that you talked about taking off from the HCG, you know, I've been on it straight for a couple months. Now, you said yes, six weeks on six weeks off, but then it dawned on me like think about this.

[00:54:27] My HCG is causing a rise in progesterone DHEA and and some degrees of other androgens and testosterone and and then I'm making it all stay in me with the grapefruit. So it's like I'm I just turned the faucet. Ron Hi and then I just plugged up the drain and I'm just letting the bathtub fill up that's what really was going on.

[00:54:50] And I had a friggin hot flash. I had like a menopause moment. So it's interesting because I think I go through all these hundreds of conversations. I have [00:55:00] every month with people and I think of you know, there's with men especially there's times. And in products with a lot of soy in it we talked when we look at likewise estrogen kind of doesn't make sense.

[00:55:14] We pull that out. Boom. It's fixed every a hundred percent right not sometimes a hundred percent of time and I think sometimes with with our with women as well is having that conversation where you know finding out. Oh Susie's not getting results or she's getting she's having these issues and she tripped every day or she has this grapefruit drink at the gym.

[00:55:36] There's a. You know something like that like a little grapefruit before my workout to get energy whatever it might be and it may be that the thing that's causing problems. So everybody Auburn it ReNew Life clients cutting grapefruit. I was going to say all the ReNew Life are x.com clients should get a link to this Facebook live.

So I've been all hands on deck with the stem cell Venture as well. And yeah, then that nothing major just taking care of people squashing the noise in the hormone space to make sure that people aren't [00:57:00] making bad decisions because of bad information and helping them.
