[00:00:00] Carl Lanore: [00:00:00] welcome back to another episode of supreme-a radio. I'm still trying to get my green screen straightened out here at this. Uh, can't wait to get into the new studio. I got to tell you the truth. Um, welcome back to another episode. We have a great show today. We're going to talk about improving cognition, but we have a completely different angle to go at this.

[00:00:18] And, um, there's a lot of products out there that claim to improve cognition, but few of them improve it. By addressing the problem in the first place. And we're going to talk about that in just a couple of minutes. Of course, I have to pay homage to our title sponsor, legendary foods. If you go to the website, eat legendary.com.

[00:00:40] You can use the code SHR 10 to save 10% off. All of their fantastic snacks, all have less than one gram of sugar. Um, so many of them, uh, less than two to three impact carbohydrates. Uh, if you are somebody who is a high protein, low carb, Low sugar [00:01:00] person. There is no better place to shop for your snacks than legendary foods.

[00:01:04] We're going to bring everybody on here. Just one second. This is going to take a second here, remove that, and then we go make that go away. There we go. So we have a, today, a Wade Lightheart and Matt Golan with us. How you guys doing? Okay. Great

[00:01:21] Wade Lightheart: [00:01:21] healing. An ophthalmologist

[00:01:23] Carl Lanore: [00:01:23] you've uh, you've dropped 16 pounds, right?

[00:01:26] Weight. Yup. Yeah. But not get it in a super short period of time. Right.

[00:01:32] Wade Lightheart: [00:01:32] 11 days.

[00:01:34] Carl Lanore: [00:01:34] Wow. That is people say that can't be done. You want to talk about that before, before we get into the, the brain boost stack, can you talk about what you're doing?

[00:01:46] Wade Lightheart: [00:01:46] Yeah, sure. So. To be. So I want to qualify this and I'm not necessarily a recommend this.

[00:01:53] So one of the things that we pride ourselves at BiOptimizers is doing radical, crazy experiments. And sometimes those [00:02:00] lead to Epic fails in Lutz. Occasionally they come to Epic discoveries and some of them are just in the middle. So preliminary to this, we experiment, I experimented with alternate day fasting in, um, which is 12 hours of eating.

[00:02:16] 36 hours of not eating and I didn't calorie restrict on the 12 hours when I was doing so. And as, and I extended that experiment for about 13 weeks was probably nine weeks too long. Uh, what happened is I, I got an absolute, incredible condition. During that process. But I created a metabolic slowdown that when I came out, I rebounded out of that and, you know, hunger went up, you know, because of a Braylin response or whatever, and all that sort of slept in grayling access all messed up.

[00:02:52] And so I had to eat my way back out of that, that situation, which I spent a bit [00:03:00] Oh, to somewhere around eight weeks to kind of get my metabolism back where I could feel that. Okay. I'm back on track again. So in doing that, I said, okay, now I'm going to try and control the timeline for that experiment. And I'm going to do a couple of other different tweaks to that.

[00:03:17] So I said, I'm going to see if I can lose 21 pounds in 21 days and then run DEXA scans to see how, how much of that's fat, how much is that's crap? How much is that water and what is it? And, and how much of lean body mass I lost on that. And then we'll go through. Through a, sort of like a ramp ups stabilization, where we'll kind of re compensate and then we'll make another push.

[00:03:41] And so we'll

[00:03:42] Carl Lanore: [00:03:42] see,

[00:03:43] Wade Lightheart: [00:03:43] I'm guessing three weeks might be the extent. It might only be two. I don't know. Uh, so we're in the middle of that experiment right now.

[00:03:51] Carl Lanore: [00:03:51] Very cool. Very, very cool. Um, how's your, how's your cognition during this period?

[00:03:58] Wade Lightheart: [00:03:58] You don't either [00:04:00] laser. Yeah. But I'm doing, I'm doing a lot of other stuff on my brain.

[00:04:05] You know, like I'm doing a lot of brain optimization hacks that allows me to stay on point even in the locales, but the locales. Interestingly enough after you make the adjustment, the, I think the BDNF and there's a certain mental clarity that you have in sharpness. That's, that's pretty cool.

[00:04:23] Carl Lanore: [00:04:23] And, and I, and I'm wanna, I want to focus on that for a second, because this is where, where the discussion today about the, the, the brain stack that we're going to talk about really is, uh, Easily distinguishable from other, you know, there's lots of, um, there's lots of products out there that claim to improve cognition and almost all of them have some sort of stimulatory effect and that stimulatory effect can improve cognition in a, in a, in a way that it overrides.

[00:04:57] What's causing your poor cognition. You know what I mean? [00:05:00] It's kind of like, well, we're not going to fix the problem. We're just going to Jack your brain up and it's going to feel better, but it's really not addressing why you have these concerns and have issues to begin with. And so, and Matt's going to laugh because, you know, I was going to do the, you know, six meals a day and I started doing that and I am just too busy to prep meal.

[00:05:24] I mean, I just have so much going on. So. Uh, my time restricted feeding is fantastic for me. I love it. I wake up, I don't have to go to the, I don't have to cook any food. Uh, I do take CapEx in the morning and I gotta tell you I feel it. Um, but I'm, I'm fasting anywhere from 16 to 20 hours. And then just having one or two meals that I'm done eating by 6:00 PM and I'm getting good sleep.

[00:05:48] And I notice, and this is how I know my cognitive issues come from my gut. Because the longer I fast the shopper I get. And that's because those microbes that are [00:06:00] producing poopy that fog up my brain. Well, I'm not feeding them hours on end. And if you're one of these people, if you're somebody who you notice, man, when I fast, I just feel laser-focused super sharp.

[00:06:12] So much more than normal. This is the stack for you because I'm willing to Island then to be corrected by both of you. You could say Carl, no. But I'm willing to bet that if you're somebody who, whose brain just feels amazing on an even a 12 or 14 hour fast it's because your gut is what's causing your poor cognition and brain fog.

[00:06:36] Tell me I'm wrong. Am I wrong about that? You think? What do you think? Who wants to jump in.

[00:06:44] Wade Lightheart: [00:06:44] Yeah, I think you're a hundred percent accurate. So one of the things that, you know, there's estimates that somewhere between 50 and 95%, any of your neurotransmitters are being built in your gut. Um, there's another component.

[00:06:57] Um, so, and I think it's like [00:07:00] 25% of the population isn't able to digest, absorb and utilize their protein in a way that a manufacturer's the, the neuro-transmitters the polypeptide chains that, that man are foundational to it. Um, so a lot. And then, then on top of that, we have, because of soil degregation we have all of these key mineral deficiencies.

[00:07:22] And, you know, for example, when you look at trace minerals, as a great example, trace minerals, people

[00:07:28] go,

[00:07:29] Carl Lanore: [00:07:29] Oh, we don't

[00:07:29] Wade Lightheart: [00:07:29] need to pay attention.

[00:07:31] Carl Lanore: [00:07:31] Well,

[00:07:31] Wade Lightheart: [00:07:31] why do you think that is body has all these trace minerals in our body. There's very specific functions. And I like to think of them as, uh, as elements on an FM radio dial.

[00:07:42] So palladium is here and Silver's here and Gold's there. And there's a frequency domain that allows cell to cell communication. So we have a multi-phase problem that when we're dealing with cognition, are you getting an digesting, absorbing and utilizing the foods that you're getting [00:08:00] to is your diet supportive of your brain chemistry?

[00:08:04] You know, like R which, whichever brain chemistry, your dominant, some people are dopamine dominant. So many in our set of Colin's are different people do. Yeah. Do you have enough of the right microbes to manufacture this thing? And, and are you, is there damage in your intestinal walls or craps leaking in, are you reconstituting that, so, you know, This is a multi, this is a multiset problem.

[00:08:30] And a lot of people are trying to look at it from a, a one hit wonder kind of ma you know, like if I just want this one thing, but that kind of mentality really sets people back from optimizing. And so our goal as trainers and coaches in product developers, and then also systematizing that in a way that people can, can look at it is to look at the whole picture holistically.

[00:08:56] And this is systemic nextly eliminate the potential. [00:09:00] Cause it's just like maybe a military unit would kind of figure out, okay, here's our objective? Where's the weak points. How do we address these? How do we counteract those things? That's what we kind of do at BiOptimizers and Matt has done an extraordinary job of compiling superstar experts in very specific areas.

[00:09:21] But what's unique about that is how he's able to synergize. This expert with this expert, with this expert, to look at these maybe three or four different problems, and then put together the puzzle pieces to kind of come up with an optimal solution for people.

[00:09:37] Carl Lanore: [00:09:37] So, Matt, uh, I want to get your take on this.

[00:09:40] So I did a show three, three years ago, uh, with dr. Satish Rao. And he's the guy who published the paper on brain fog morning, brain fog, and the link to CBO. Um, and the CBO specifically was producing an [00:10:00] overabundance of D lactic acid, which is a different kind of lactic acid than your muscles produce. And the presence of this, a D lactic acidosis, uh, caused both men and women to wake up first thing in the morning and just feel horrible.

[00:10:13] And you know, many of these people say I can't get started for the first two hours. I even coffee isn't, isn't doing it for me anymore. And it's because at night, Your gut kind of prunes and, and, and, and maintains its environment. And that's why, you know, you shouldn't have food in your stomach when you sleep because your gut has work to do.

[00:10:35] And that's when it's producing some of these metabolites of the food you've eaten earlier in the day. You'll accumulate them at night. You wake up in the morning, you're all foggy or your brain just doesn't feel good. You're doing energy shots. You're doing all this sort of stuff. When the reality is, if you would, if you would address those things, then you wouldn't need the abundance of stimulants in the morning [00:11:00] because you would work.

[00:11:00] You wouldn't wake up necessarily wide awake, but you wouldn't wake up where you got to spend two hours trying to wake up at home. What do you think about that?

[00:11:10] Matt Gallant: [00:11:10] Yeah, I think a good starting point is talking about caffeine, right? And your caffeine is obviously the, probably the most popular nootropic in the world.

[00:11:19] Um, obviously, you know, I use it. Wade uses it, uh, at times now I'm a slow caffeine metabolizer. And for those reasons I can't drink that much. I mean, I'll, I'll kind of sip one cup of coffee over hours and that's enough for me, but I wanted to find. Other ways to boost cognition, to boost energy. And you know what caffeine does basically fools your brain into making you think you're not tired.

[00:11:46] Carl Lanore: [00:11:46] Right. But that's actually dangerous because of Del Moosa. Um, cited a study about six years ago that showed that, uh, those of us who depend heavily on caffeine, which I am. I am, I am a [00:12:00] caffeine junkie. I really am. I mean, I've, I've fought with caffeine for decade now. Um, but we tend to end up over-trained because the caffeine is taking our body hostage and making us do work that we would have taken off that day.

[00:12:17] Okay.

[00:12:18] Matt Gallant: [00:12:18] Yeah. In a way he's got a great story as far as really pushing it to the max. I'll let him share that in a second. But the point is it's a really popular thing, but that's just one perspective. If you look at all the ways you, I mean, the brain is the most complex part of the body. I mean, we think the body's complicated or cells complicated, but you know, I've talked to a lot of.

[00:12:39] Biologists and they say the brain is exponentially more complicated. So, you know, there's so many ways that we can operate. Is it including the gut, including obviously giving the micro nutrients that the brain needs, including boosting mitochondria. So that's essentially the overarching design of the brain stack [00:13:00] is let's hit it from multiple angles and we don't need to be, you know, squeezing our adrenal glands dry.

[00:13:08] Which have a, you know, pretty, pretty negative effect once you really get that. And maybe ways you can share that story with everyone,

[00:13:15] Carl Lanore: [00:13:15] please.

[00:13:16] Wade Lightheart: [00:13:16] Yes. So I love stimulants. I love nootropics. I love the, I love the ride up and like a guy that has bracelet day at the, uh, at the amusement park. I just want to hit that ride over and over and over again.

[00:13:31] And of course, um, I'm an ambitious guy, like probably a lot of people on your podcast. You've got, you know, 50 million things that you want to do. And if you've got the 50 million done, you got 50 million more that you want to do. So few years back, why w we really got into this? Um, I was running three businesses simultaneously, um, going through an immigration process, uh, in a foreign country [00:14:00] and w which was with massive complications.

[00:14:02] Cause I didn't know the language and all that sort of stuff and was kind of navigating through, you know, that kind of component. Then there was a major issue with one of the companies, uh, like

[00:14:12] Matt Gallant: [00:14:12] pretty,

[00:14:13] Wade Lightheart: [00:14:13] pretty severe, one of the most stressful things you can happen. Long story short. I was working any, I slowed down.

[00:14:21] It would be 12, 13 hours of long day would be 16 from, and with no days off, uh, every day for while I only think that I think it was in probably close to 18 months or something like it just got out of control. And in order to sustain that pace, plus I'm working out plus I'm doing all that stuff. So. In order to sustain all that.

[00:14:43] I just kept counting caffeine, right? Like, Oh, I'm feeling fuzzed out. Let's just smash down another bag. And um, long story short, I got my self into really major trouble. Uh, I was [00:15:00] emotionally on a hair trigger. Um, there was kind of like this burnout feeling all the time. Like I'm sluggish and I'm a high energy guy.

[00:15:08] Um, I wasn't getting my social stuff. I'm an extrovert. I like to socially connect that wasn't I was driving this, so I'm, I'm, I'm taking away the things that support and feed my psychology and I'm just pounding it out to get this external result. Matt hooked me up on a neurofeedback machine and my, I was basically brain dead.

[00:15:28] You know, I had the, I had the brain energy of a, and did you

[00:15:31] Carl Lanore: [00:15:31] feel it, did you feel sluggish? Like always feel like I'm just tired. Well, I'll tell ya.

[00:15:39] Wade Lightheart: [00:15:39] Um, Matt and I, who were at at the time had been living like literally a five minute walk from each other. I was working so hard. I saw him personally, five times in a period of about six months.

[00:15:55] Like we like, and we run a couple, like  on the line, but that's how bad

[00:15:59] Carl Lanore: [00:15:59] it [00:16:00] was.

[00:16:01] Wade Lightheart: [00:16:01] And, and, and one of these times we went out for dinner. Uh, to just kind of go over stuff and catch up. And Matt says like, Hey man, like, you know, we haven't seen much of you feels like you're really under a lot of pressure and stressful, you know, how's it going?

[00:16:15] And I looked him straight in the eye and I said, I'm living in the upper levels of hell.

[00:16:22] Carl Lanore: [00:16:22] Not saying it's the lower levels, but

[00:16:24] Wade Lightheart: [00:16:24] we're definitely in the world.

[00:16:26] Carl Lanore: [00:16:26] We're in hell. We're in hell. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:16:29] Wade Lightheart: [00:16:29] Yeah. So,

[00:16:30] Carl Lanore: [00:16:30] so

[00:16:31] Wade Lightheart: [00:16:31] because I think of my bodybuilding career. Um, and my past history and the desire, I have an ability, although I have a heightened sense of awareness of what's going in my body.

[00:16:42] I also have a bill, an ability to suspend pain, suspend discomfort, like, you know what I mean? Like , those are great tools to use in a short period of time. But you, if you abuse that capacity, you enter into a chronic load. And [00:17:00] so, um, the good news was I did some, I did some testing and, uh, with a naturopathic doctor using a SpectraCell test, which I think is a phenomenal test.

[00:17:11] Cause I want it to look at, Hey, what's going on? What's happening on my mineral levels. I was completely blown out and magnesium. I was completely blown out of it. My B vitamins. So what I was doing is exhausting myself. So all the calf Thien was draining my magnesium, uh, dry. The other thing at that time, I was in an area where I didn't have the same amount of time access to food.

[00:17:34] So some of the proteins that I would normally get, I'm a plant based guy. So we have to be. Ultra conscientious of the kind of proteins that we're able to access. And at this time I was really not give, be able to access the kind of high quality protein that I need as a plant based guy. So now I was deficient in neuro-transmitters and I think that's a big issue for a lot of vegetarians are why people can't stay on it.

[00:17:57] If you're going to be a plant based guy, you [00:18:00] really have got to dial in your protein digestion, absorption utilization, because you're. You're you're working on a very small window of variance. And so you can't make the neuro-transmitters. So I think stressing the nervous system out, abusing caffeine, not being able to get the neuro-transmitters to be able to make and doing this for a long period of time, uh, left me, uh, in the toilet and, uh, thanks to some testing and, you know, getting rid of one of those businesses.

[00:18:30] Um, Counting the things we're going to talk about. Yeah. Level and dialing back my training, dialing back my, uh, my diet Terry components, just about myself to kind of

[00:18:40] Carl Lanore: [00:18:40] relax. Did you stop?

[00:18:42] Wade Lightheart: [00:18:42] Did you stop? Stop caffeine for a year? I didn't drink. I didn't drink a coffee, a coffee. I didn't drink nothing for a year.

[00:18:52] And, um, yeah, it was, it was pretty, uh, it was pretty interesting. Fortunately, I was able to hack my way out of it.

[00:18:59] Carl Lanore: [00:18:59] You [00:19:00] get into the components of the stack and then we'll explain how, how it can be used. And I want to start with one that we've talked about before, and that is CapEx because I use this. And so does Elisa on an empty stomach when we fast and I have a people.

[00:19:19] I'm going to see if I can find this spot. I'll play it during the, when we come out of the break, but I got a guy who says, it's the first thing that's ever made his brain work. I think it, maybe it was cognitive. Maybe it was a cognitive biotic. That's what it was. But we'll talk about that later to discuss how CapEx works in this, in this, uh, in this stack.

[00:19:41] Matt Gallant: [00:19:41] Yeah, so CapEx. Um, well we started formulating that product. The first intent was, Hey, let's, let's build something to really help optimize the digestion of a ketogenic diet or a high fat diet. But, you know, we always love that looking at the entire bio [00:20:00] pathway. Right. So the first step of course, with digestion is breaking down the food, but yeah.

[00:20:07] We want it to go right down to the level of assimilation and assimilation means you're either absorbing the food as energy, or you're burning it as energy, or you're using it as building blocks. Right? So amino acids and some fats get turned to building blocks and then glucose and fatty acids get either stored or burned.

[00:20:27] So we really wanted to optimize the entire process right down to. Making the mitochondria stronger, which that's where you get into energy boost. So essentially the way Campex works. And if you take it on an empty stomach, you get the , it just goes right into your bloodstream. So you're not losing anything, especially with the lipase and the Yetter enzymes

[00:20:51] Carl Lanore: [00:20:51] and enzymes in general.

[00:20:53] Matt Gallant: [00:20:53] Are an energy booster and I get way to share, um, kind of our experience when we started on enzymes [00:21:00] I 18 years ago. Uh, cause, cause we that's, when we really started to realize, cause again, what are, what are enzymes? You know, their CA their electrical catalysts, you know, they're, they're doing 25,000, the different functions of the body.

[00:21:11] So the more enzymes you have. The more that you can do almost every verse, every biochemical function the body, but just to get little more granular on CapEx. So you got lipase, you got four different live paces and proteases, which will help break down fats or proteins. And we believe, and again, there's no hard evidence on this, but we believe that the lipase.

[00:21:36] Take an empty stomach going through the bloodstream will help. Again. We're sort of breaking down some of the fat wrap saying it's a fat loss

[00:21:42] Carl Lanore: [00:21:42] product, but

[00:21:44] Matt Gallant: [00:21:44] if you're breaking down more fats, um, it's a fatty acids. Then again, they're available for energy. Then we got the alcarnitine to transport it. We've got iNOS slim, which will transport glucose to the muscle instead of being stored as fat.

[00:21:57] And then we've got endless I'm [00:22:00] activators, like the seven Quito DHS. Yay. Oh, that we got cocuten okay. Which will activate the mitochondria so together. Um, you know, the original time that I tried the samples, I think it was like two in the afternoon. And I didn't. Really realize how much energy I'd get from it.

[00:22:16] So I took it cops and took me a long time to fall asleep that night we could never have that issue. And then I'm like, okay, well let me repeat that. Maybe there was something that day that threw me off. So did the exact same thing. And I looked at my ordering that night, took me three hours to fall asleep.

[00:22:32] So I, I knew that it boosted energy. So, you know, you gotta find the right dose for you, which you usually, for me, four or five caps about a cat for every 50 pounds of. Of body weight seems to be the right dose and don't of course, take it early in the morning, but what's awesome about it is there's no adrenal stimulation.

[00:22:49] There's zero stimulants in this. So any energy you're getting from this, uh, is purely mitochondrial and it's very sustained. You know, it's about eight to 10 hours [00:23:00] of energy boost. And that way maybe you can share some stories related to it.

[00:23:06] Wade Lightheart: [00:23:06] Well, I experienced the same thing, so. Matt. And I, as for those who don't know a keto guy, I'm a plant based guy and we've, he's a fat guy and I'm a carbohydrates guy.

[00:23:15] I called myself a carb Beauvoir. And, um, one of the issues that I always had. Whenever I would attempt to ketogenic diet. Yeah, it is. Once I'm once my fat total hit a certain point, I'd start seeing fat show up in my stool. My body just didn't metabolize fat very well. And I think the enzymatic pathways for lipase in particularly either from genetics or from abuse of chemicals at a period in my life had been disrupted.

[00:23:45] So Matt, when he built CapEx and designed it G. Addressed all the different lipase stuff. So when I first took it, he made me test this in the blind. So this was a product that he worked with our testing team [00:24:00] to test it in a blind. I can even know what I was taking. He's like, just take these caps and try it and see what happened.

[00:24:05] And so I had the same thing. I took it in the afternoon and. I was, you know, it's one o'clock at night. I usually go to bed maybe around 10 or 11. It's, one o'clock at night. And I'm like, Hey, I think I want to get into my computer and start answering emails or start doing stuff. And I thought this is odd.

[00:24:22] And I did that a couple of times and I, and then I reached out to Matt. I kept dialing. And back at the time, I was like, maybe I took that too late. So then I got to a point where I could only take it before noon. Because, and I tried it on fasting days. I tried it on needy days. I did notice that on fasting days there was a measurable increase.

[00:24:40] Like, like I, I noticed that stay up late on a fasting days, more so than on the eating day. So, and then after that he revealed what the product was and I was like, wow, that's, that's, that's really cool.

[00:24:51] Carl Lanore: [00:24:51] So, so you take it, you take it on, on an empty stomach now in the morning when you want it to just kind of give you sustained energy when you're, while you're [00:25:00] fasting.

[00:25:01] Wade Lightheart: [00:25:01] Well, I actually, I actually take it, uh, every day in the morning I take, uh, five caps every morning, first thing upon rising. And then I take, um, four of the cogni Biotics, and then I drop a dropper of the primer, gin, vitamins, Trump, proper driver. Is there anyone that's as well? And then I take a scoop.

[00:25:21] Actually add a scoop of Lee, you got guardian as well to kind of stabilize it. This is the back right there.

[00:25:27] Carl Lanore: [00:25:27] The, yeah,

[00:25:28] Wade Lightheart: [00:25:28] that stack right there.

[00:25:29] Carl Lanore: [00:25:29] Yeah. Yeah.

[00:25:30] Wade Lightheart: [00:25:30] On non fasting on non fasting days, I take that and then I wait 30 minutes and then I do 50 grams of plant based protein for me in the morning. And then I wait another 30 minutes and it's before I'll have my regular foods.

[00:25:45] That way I'm building all the neural tube. That's what I've learned over the last. Six months of what's optimal for me and everybody else can kind of experiment as they, as they like. And then on empty stomach days, don't take, I don't take the leaky gut. [00:26:00] I just take, I just take the. That's the stack that the cogni Biotics, the primer gin and the CapEx together.

[00:26:08] And that's it. That's all I'll have for that day.

[00:26:10] Carl Lanore: [00:26:10] We're

[00:26:10] Wade Lightheart: [00:26:10] going to cover it other than I'll slam mass times as well during the day, but that's different.

[00:26:14] Carl Lanore: [00:26:14] Uh, we're going to cover each of these components of this stack, but I'm going to go ahead and put this out there for those of you who are watching and are anxious, you go to SHR network.biz/brain stack.

[00:26:25] And use code SHR tend to save an additional 10% off the entire stack. There's a lot of really sophisticated stuff in this stack and we're going to get deep into it. A couple of them I'm really excited about because I've known about them. I just didn't know that you guys had them in the primer. Gen V emergent, M a.

[00:26:43] So we're going to cover the prime regions, uh, when we, when we get back. So stay tuned. You're watching. And listening to

[00:26:57] this, this is so I have, I have three [00:27:00] computers on my desk, three, and then I had to pick up the laptop cause I wanted to try and find this video of one of our listeners talking about one of these products. And it's the only thing that's ever improved his cognition. And somehow. The only wireless mouse rolled off the desk and it's completely gone.

[00:27:19] So I had to go get a hard wired mouse and plug it in. I let's go down a little line, regain my composure of the individual things. I want to talk about the prime agenda because I didn't even know you guys have these, what is primary and V and prime engine, uh, M what's the difference? And what do they contribute to this?

[00:27:40] Okay,

[00:27:41] Matt Gallant: [00:27:41] go ahead. Yeah.

[00:27:42] Wade Lightheart: [00:27:42] So basically one of the things that when I started looking through our medicine, then, and I got introduced to some people who were specialists in what was called the platinum group elements, as well as a monotonic since. So are you Vedic medicine? They would, um, [00:28:00] Practitioners would take this kind of pitch suspended organic matter.

[00:28:04] It's very, very black. So people will call it shell legit and things like that, which basic plea is plant matter. That's been compressed and ultimately it will turn to shale, but maintains its its biological component. So what, in order for us to get vitamins and minerals and these essential components, we need to eat plants or we need the animals that eat plants and plants.

[00:28:27] Produce what's called a human can fulvic acid, which literally digests rocks and converts them into biologically available nutrients that our body consumes. And so I had heard, when I learned about this, I was able at about 13 years ago, 14 years ago was able to find a specialist in this particular area about providing biologically available nutrients.

[00:28:54] The other thing, because I knew a little bit, a fair amount. Yeah. About vitamins and minerals. One of the issues is [00:29:00] if you're growing up, you know, if you're using tablets or powders or liquids, there's a huge variance in how much is absorption. Observed. So, and then the other thing is, is how do you extract these vitamins and minerals from plants?

[00:29:14] Are you using chemicals that could have some deteriorates effects on the body as well? Like some, some aging it's like a lot of companies. And so I was able to determine, to be able to source out someone who was grabbing humic and fulvic acid, and then bringing in these biologically available vitamins and minerals and putting it in a liquid suspension.

[00:29:38] So, what we did is we said, Hey, the other thing was, is when you look at most vitamins substance, and you look to minerals, as people who sweat a lot, like we do, cause we work out and we train a lot. We need more minerals, particularly these trace minerals and platinum group minerals. Then we do vitamins. So if you're taking vitamins, you could take too many vitamins and not enough minerals.

[00:29:59] So I [00:30:00] want it to separate. A mineral formulation and a vitamin formulation. And I wanted to put it in a suspension because if you put it in a liquid in what they call a monoatomic form, we get about 4,000 times smaller than what you could get in a capsule. So comes your absorbability, your effectiveness.

[00:30:18] And so we produce these two types and we separated the vitamins from the minerals, both with the humic and fulvic acid. So there's a bit of both and we just put them in here and we cover. Almost every vitamin and mineral that you would need. And it's easy because you can dose up or dose down based on your body weight, because a 40 pound child is not going to need the same amount of vitamins minerals as a 300 pound lineman.

[00:30:42] And so, um, we were able to kind of isolate, put those together, separate them into two bottles and make a very simple, fast cost effective way to give all our trace minerals. Most of our essential vitamins in a liquid suspension and that were biologically available. And that's where those two products came and it's simple, [00:31:00] easy, convenient, drop it in your water.

[00:31:01] Or I just drop a dropper under my tongue and I way to go. And then it's easy. And so I've been using that for 13 years.

[00:31:09] Carl Lanore: [00:31:09] Fulvic acid is very interesting. Go ahead. I'm sorry. Go. No. Go ahead, Carl. No, I was just saying fulvic acid. Fulvic acid is very, very interesting. It's a very interesting compound that I was introduced to.

[00:31:21] Um, while I was at a quest think tank about five or six years ago. Um, it's there seemed to be some magic with it. And that's it talk about it, man?

[00:31:33] Matt Gallant: [00:31:33] Yeah, for sure. Um, just, just to rewind to, I, even before we. Met this genius, a formulator on the mineral and vitamin side. I was a believer in trace minerals. And you know, we, we know that.

[00:31:48] Yeah. If you start becoming deficient in macro minerals, I mean, there's a lot of research on the macro mineral deficiencies things start. Declining pretty fast, right? Whether it's [00:32:00] zinc and testosterone or, you know, all these, again, the macro minerals, there's tons of research showing that deficiencies create problems.

[00:32:10] There's no reason to believe that it's not the same thing with the trace minerals and our, our core goal BiOptimizers is to give people the right quantity and quality. Of the nutrients they need for their bodies to be optimized. So to us, you know, the vitamins and minerals, just so foundational thing.

[00:32:33] And of course, a little bit of a backstory. This was probably 19 years ago, I was using these, you know, compressed rocks as we call them tablets. I got to a point. Yeah, the tablets. And I had a vitamin B toxicity level because. You can take things and if they're not being assimilated and we're talking about assimilation, when it comes to vitamins and minerals is that means that they're being [00:33:00] utilized by the cell and converted and what was happening.

[00:33:04] I was taking this vitamin B and the T levels were just building up in my bloodstream and it was very problematic. So what, what people notice with this is first of all, more energy, um, And these are awesome to add two different things. In our opinion, like for an example, add this to a fat coffee or Bulletproof coffee, it will amplify.

[00:33:25] Not just the electrify, everything you will absorb more of the case laughing. Um, and it has a very synergistic effect. So, you know, whatever you're adding it to, especially if there's plant matter because of the fulvic and the humic acid, you're going to get more absorption. So we're big fans of adding this to shakes and teas and coffees for those reasons.

[00:33:46] And, uh, you know, probably the most common. Comment we get from our customers. These are vitamins and minerals that you can feel.

[00:33:54] Carl Lanore: [00:33:54] So primer gin M is minerals and primer gin V is the [00:34:00] vitamins interesting. Now I, cause I was wondering what the . Yeah.

[00:34:06] Matt Gallant: [00:34:06] Yes, 74 minerals. And then on the vitamin side, it's, it's a full spectrum beef formula.

[00:34:12] So again, as far as energy goes or Oregon for vegetarians, it's, it's a really key thing. Um, but you you'll definitely feel it.

[00:34:20] Carl Lanore: [00:34:20] Now. The last player in the stack is a heavy mover. That's what I was trying to find. Dylan Nutro, uh, did a great video for me. I've played it on other shows. Uh, when we were running the cognitive biotic, uh, commercials, and I will find it.

[00:34:36] That's how I lost my mouse looking forward on my laptop, but he said, it's the only thing that has ever worked for him that literally makes him feel wide awake in the morning. And this is comes full circle to my long introduction, trying to couch today's discussion in. Yeah, there's lots of things.

[00:34:56] That'll make you feel awake, but nothing [00:35:00] really addresses why you don't feel brain-wise on top of your game. Like cognitive Biotics, because now what cognitive Biotics is doing is it's going to an implant, the good players in your gut and help weed out the bad players that are causing the problem in the first place.

[00:35:18] So to explain what cognitive Biotics does for anybody, who'd never heard the last interview we did on it.

[00:35:26] Matt Gallant: [00:35:26] Yes. So as far as optimizing brain function, uh, maybe the most important is to optimize your, your transmitters. So what does that mean? It means, you know, you want the right amount of dopamine, the right amount of serotonin and not too much, but if you're deficient.

[00:35:42] For example in dopamine, you're not going to have drive. You're not going to want to learn. You're going to run out of juice, you know, um, uh, however, when you've got enough dopamine, you can get stuff done and keep driving and you're learning faster. The dopamine is not just for the reward system. It's a key part [00:36:00] of learning.

[00:36:01] And then as sort of serotonin goes, it's a huge part of, you know, feeling good. And if you're not feeling good, it's, it's hard to perform.

[00:36:10] Carl Lanore: [00:36:10] You want to speak about that?

[00:36:11] Matt Gallant: [00:36:11] Wade? The cognitive Biotics.

[00:36:16] Wade Lightheart: [00:36:16] Yeah. I mean, yeah, there's a couple other key elements. And when we develop cognitive Biotics, Matt went through with a actually we've got some PhDs that do are experts in biofilm and, and the bacteria that are. Responsible for manufacturing. The variants of neuro-transmitters. The other thing is, is he had a neuroscientist that was an expert in Chinese medicine.

[00:36:45] So Chinese medicine, which is. You know, this is pretty interesting. When you go back to Charles, Paula Quinn and the sensei, the strength sensei who was so famous for coaching all these different gold medalists, and I think 27 different Olympic sports and the who's who of stuff. He was the first guy [00:37:00] to make the connection between Chinese medicine and Western medicine.

[00:37:03] And he said it's neurotransmitter dominance. And there was a variety of herbs. It had been used in Chinese medicine, um, too. When they were combined together, treated all sorts. Yeah. Neurological conditions, anything from anxiety to depression to inability to focus and stuff. So we got the neuroscientists that could secure these skills, specialized herbs.

[00:37:25] And then we said, let's combine them with what the PhDs figured out in the bacterias that would manufacture the neuro-transmitters and put them together in a formula that would. Create non-competition between the bacterial strains and then with the herbs. So you get first, the boost initially, there's a kind of a somatic effect just from the herbal formulation from the Chinese herbs, but ultimately as these bacteria are fed and developed, um, then you'll be able to start manufacturing those neuro-transmitters [00:38:00] on your own that you were potentially just, um, that you were deficient in.

[00:38:06] Matt Gallant: [00:38:06] And, and I mean, and, and 95% of serotonin and 50% of your dopamine is created in the gut. I know Chris about 30 different neurotransmitters. So it's not just those two it's, it's the full, the full gamut.

[00:38:18] Carl Lanore: [00:38:18] And this is why we read books. And that's why when people have digestive issues, they always talk about how they just feel horrible.

[00:38:29] You know, I, you know, most people who have digestive issues, don't say my stomach hurts. What do they say? They say, I feel horrible. Why? Because it's up here, here, what your gut is doing wrong is affecting here. Your perception of how you feel is altered. You don't go, Oh, my gut hurts. I have a tummy ache. No people go through life and they say, you know, I just, I feel horrible.

[00:38:55] And remember, Well, this is where the term hypochondriac came from. [00:39:00] You know, the, the word hypochondria is the rib cage and, and, and, and, and, you know, the idea was that these people felt they couldn't put their finger on what was wrong with them, but they knew something was wrong with them. And, and Socrates said, it's coming from their gut.

[00:39:21] That's where the term hypochondriac Kevin hypochondriac was never meant to mean. Uh, Woody Allen people who think they have diseases. Every time they read a book, they have that disease. It was designed to describe people who had no evident injury or specific, uh, identify of an illness, but they still felt horrible.

[00:39:44] And that's where the term came from. I'm sorry. Sorry, Matt. I cut you off. I'm sorry.

[00:39:49] Matt Gallant: [00:39:49] That's interesting. But so I, I just, just, um, Personally, I work with alcoholics and addicts and sometimes they'll get one where, you know, they've crushed your [00:40:00] serotonin. And I mean, when your serotonin crashes, I mean, that's just the essence, the essence of it, depression, and, you know, I've crashed my serotonin in the past and so is weighed and life's pretty, pretty, pretty rough.

[00:40:14] And I've also, you know, kind of depleted dopamine at times. Uh, and it's hard to drive. So, you know, as far as brain and feeling awesome. Yeah, you're not, you're never going to perform anywhere near your best without. Optimizing your neurotransmitters and you know, other than taking pharmaceuticals again, which is as it major consequences, this is really the best approach.

[00:40:41] Carl Lanore: [00:40:41] So what I want do is I want to take our last commercial break. And when we come back, we're going to instruct people on how to use the stack. But in the meantime, if you go to. The URL S H R network.biz/brain stack and use the code SHR 10. You'll save an additional 10% off the entire stack. And the stack [00:41:00] is, uh, quite a few.

[00:41:02] Um, items. I'm just going to put a picture up here of them. If I can, if everything is going to cooperate with me. Yeah. Aye. Today this, this week it's been, um, very challenging, uh, from a technological standpoint, it's just amazing, but it looks like it's going to cooperate. So. This is what the product looks like.

[00:41:21] I like this stack. It should be up here now. Where was it? Oh, it didn't show up. I don't understand. There we go. Um, this is what the stack looks like. It is, uh, two bottles and that is the, uh, Uh, the private gen M and V and then the CapEx and the cognitive Biotics in the back. And you'll save 10% off the entire stack.

[00:41:43] Go to SHR network.biz/brain stack. We're going to take a last commercial break and we're going to explain exactly how you stack them. Stay tuned. This is the superhuman channel where brawn and brains finally meet.

[00:42:02] [00:42:00] Welcome back. We're talking about a unique stack. If you're interested in improving cognition and brain function, uh, and you've tried other things and they don't work. Uh, there could be very good reason why they don't work. They're not addressing the entire problem that's causing your brain fog or your difficulty to feel drive or feel, uh, be able to cope with stress.

[00:42:25] I mean, all of these things have to do with your brain. That's where these things originate. So let's talk about the stack. Um, how do you use the stack? Who wants to go grab that?

[00:42:37] Matt Gallant: [00:42:37] Whey did a great summary of, of how he takes it, which is, which is a great protocol. So again for just pure energy, um, probably four to six CapEx.

[00:42:48] I mean, for me, five's enough and then two to four Cami Biotics in the morning. And then you use the primer gen V's and AMS again, teas coffees, [00:43:00] water. That's that's one now as a pre-workout because going back to what. We was talking about with Paul Quinn. And if you think about what's that happening and see you're listening to music, right?

[00:43:12] We've all, if anybody works out with music, you know, you've got some songs that you put on when you're going to do a squat or deadlift here, you know, what's happening there. There's a boost in your transmitters, you know, the song. Is elevating neurotransmitters, which then translates to more reps, more weight.

[00:43:30] So the, the concept is the same. If we, if we optimize the neurotransmitters for workout, optimize mitochondria, optimize the vitamins and minerals. You're going to get a boost so far pre-workout you can do, like, especially if it's late afternoon, maybe just one CapEx to coughy Biotics, and then you can, you can go up to 15, 20 drops and going back to people that sweat, you know, we're not just sweating water, we're sweating minerals.

[00:43:55] And, and,

[00:43:56] Carl Lanore: [00:43:56] you know, I

[00:43:56] Matt Gallant: [00:43:56] drank about four to five liters of water a day, which means I've [00:44:00] got four to five liters of water coming in, coming out. And when it's coming out, I've got. Minerals that are leaching with it. So I need to take, I used a lot of salt by probably 10 grams a day, and a lot of primer gen on top of that.

[00:44:14] Wait.

[00:44:16] Wade Lightheart: [00:44:16] That's similar component. The other thing I would say is mostly most people will use like multiple servings of the minerals over multiple servings of the vitamins throughout the day. The other thing is, is the easy way to kind of manage for your body. Weight is take a one drop for every 40 pounds of body, body weight.

[00:44:37] So that will kind of dial you into your optimal levels. If you're training. You're probably going to need, um, you know, at least two servings of the minerals everyday, by the way, as far as far as, uh, value these, these little babies, there's 102 servings in each one of these. So a little bit [00:45:00] goes a long way.

[00:45:01] Um, which, which is really great. So that's, and, and, and again, it comes down to, uh, Regulating for yourself, but again, go do a SpectraCell test. If you're really serious about addressing your mineral deficiencies. Um, that test, not all only does it show your deficiencies, but it shows which particular vitamins and minerals that you're having a hard time absorbing.

[00:45:24] And if you try our primer gen products and you know, you get on them for a month, you do a test before the test, after you're going to see measurable differences from that, not just anecdotal. Hey, I feel more energized here. My brain fields you'll actually see research driven stuff. They'll say, Hey, there's a difference.

[00:45:40] Also one other element we'll add. Um, neurofeedback designs originate. The original formulator had used this and they were taking pictures of people's brains as they were going for neurofeedback. And they were working with people in recovery who had depressed levels of neurotransmitter. They weren't using the cogni [00:46:00] Biotics and they were, and they weren't using the CapEx, but they showed that these humic and fulvic acid delivers minerals where we're lighting up the brain.

[00:46:09] Way better than if they didn't take them before their neurofeedback sessions. So, um, that was a big indicator back then. Cause I didn't have the SpectraCell test or these types of things to say, Hey, this is, this is some definitive proof that these things actually work and light your brain up.

[00:46:26] Carl Lanore: [00:46:26] So, um, should I be concerned if I'm taking the primer genes and I'm taking pharmaceutical drugs or even over the counter?

[00:46:35] Um, Stimulants or anything like that, that it's actually going to increase the effectiveness. Then maybe the plasma concentrations of these things.

[00:46:48] Wade Lightheart: [00:46:48] You know, the default is always check with a practitioner who has prescribed or your pharmacist to see if there's any contraindications that you've got. Maybe, you know, if there's some strange [00:47:00] interaction with the type of drugs that you might be on, particularly when you get into like, Uh, antidepressants and neuro-transmitters up there.

[00:47:08] There is some very, very specific chemical interactions. And for those who, people who might be suffering, cause it was probably a lot of pod people on this, listening to this that might be on antianxiety or antidepressants. I would invite them to check out ortho, molecular psychiatry. Um, this stuff was founded by Abraham hall for David Hawkins and Linus Pauling, all super geniuses in their field.

[00:47:33] And there's a whole element of how you use concentrated levels of nutrition. Uh, you know, supplements, vitamins, minerals, and things like that to offset both the drugs and to ultimately come off them, which is really, really, no, that's not, but you need a specialist that can dialing your chemistry to do that.

[00:47:51] So don't screw up. Don't screw around with stuff like that because. Uh, you know, we don't, we don't want anybody to kind of go sideways because, uh, they, they took the wrong [00:48:00] B-vitamin with their anti anxiety drug,

[00:48:03] Carl Lanore: [00:48:03] right. Wade, uh, if, if someone is still using caffeine and they are feeling vanquished, they feel bad.

[00:48:11] I literally tell people, I feel brain tired. It's a very. Yeah, unless you've ever experienced this, you, you really can't understand it. And I have abused caffeine for, for a very long time now. And I take off for a while and then I get back on again and it's just, it calls my name and I run over to it.

[00:48:31] Could I use this approach while I still use moderate, like milligrams of caffeine a day. Okay. Uh, could I use this approach to help? Um, rebuild my neurotransmitter to do I have to cut out the caffeine. I mean, you obviously cut out for a year and I guess if I have to do that, I have to do it. But what do you think?

[00:48:51] Wade Lightheart: [00:48:51] Yeah, I did, but the other is a key element that we left out of this. And we've been on your podcast with us before, is I pounded magnesium because magnesium [00:49:00] is also a big component of it. Tempering down the nervous system. So by pounding the magnesium, you can offset that kind of nervous system and get that recovery best.

[00:49:10] So what I did is I cut it all out, but when the magnesium came back in, I could go back to caffeine. Cause happened when I got screwed up, I started getting like,

[00:49:18] Carl Lanore: [00:49:18] I'd have a cup of coffee

[00:49:19] Wade Lightheart: [00:49:19] and I'd be like, Ugh. And I'd be like, you know, ready to kill somebody and stuff. You know what I mean? Like I had that hair trigger response, right.

[00:49:26] Um, net now. I mean, I could, I can pound caffeine without any, any kind of side the facts, other than a little bit of, of, uh, you know, I get the up. Uh, but I offset it with every a hundred milligrams of caffeine. I take 500 milligrams of magnesium

[00:49:47] Carl Lanore: [00:49:47] and that's it, the magnesium breakthrough, which has five different forms of trapezium in it as well.

[00:49:52] Wade Lightheart: [00:49:52] Yeah. Correct?

[00:49:54] Carl Lanore: [00:49:54] Yeah. So if I take 300 milligrams and I've got to take a gram and a half of magnesium a day, [00:50:00] I don't have the magnesium breakthrough. So I'll just, I'll do it with that. I'll try it and see what happens.

[00:50:05] Wade Lightheart: [00:50:05] It's great. You'll love it. It just chills you right out.

[00:50:07] Carl Lanore: [00:50:07] Anything to put into, add to that, Matt.

[00:50:11] Yeah. Yeah.

[00:50:14] Matt Gallant: [00:50:14] With all things, you know, especially with the fight amens and minerals, there's a saturation level. That's optimal. So it takes a while. Right? So what we typically recommend is when you, if, if you haven't been taking this the first two or three months, same thing with magnesium, you know, push the dose up and then.

[00:50:32] Yeah. Then you could taper down to maintenance. Um, you'll, you'll definitely notice it. Yeah, because again, the difference between going from deficiency to optimal, it's not and day, um, on, on, on anything, that's a key nutrient for the body and with the primer, Jen, and with magnesium, that's definitely the

[00:50:50] Carl Lanore: [00:50:50] case,

[00:50:51] Matt Gallant: [00:50:51] even with cogni Biotics, you know, as, as you're building up the strains in the gut, it's going to build up over time and you're going to feel it, uh, more and [00:51:00] more.

[00:51:00] So. You know that those are just things to be aware of. But I experienced the same thing as, as Wade. It was more of a micro burnout, but I got to the point where I just couldn't drink coffee anymore. Just felt frazzled to drink a cup and just feel, just feel horrible. It felt like my nerves, my nerves were raw.

[00:51:16] And I think, you know, and I've looked at the research on this there's magnesium, that's part of the myelin sheet, which covers the nerves. So in my opinion, again, when you're stressed out your fight or flight, You're losing that magnesium and then the nerves get raw. And that is the feeling of frazzle, the somatic experience, which does not feel good at all.

[00:51:37] I'm sorry. I had to stop the caffeine and then started loading up on mag. Took me about 60 days. And then. You know, it fixed that issue. So, um, that, magnesium's amazing for balancing the nervous system

[00:51:49] Carl Lanore: [00:51:49] for me, caffeine actually has the same thing. Fact for me right now, as a Ritalin probably does for an ADHD.

[00:51:57] I feel like my adrenals, so [00:52:00] tapped that when I use caffeine, they just give up, they go, you know, effort. We're not, we can't do this anymore. So we're just to sit back and I have this, I actually get sleepy. From like, if I take 500 milligrams of caffeine anhydrous, which is easy, you know, a bang energy drink and a couple, uh, caffeine caplets, and I'm there.

[00:52:20] I don't, I don't feel the jitters. I don't feel what I used to feel. I got to take a thousand milligrams to feel it, and it's almost like I know what's happening. My adrenals had done can't be stimulated any more than they've been stimulated. So they just crash. And that's what happens to kids who have ADHD.

[00:52:37] They give them Ritalin. It takes about a week for the Ritalin install working was, it takes about a week, completely exhaust the adrenal glands. They go, Oh, I'm done. And so I, I'm going to try the magnesium. I'm gonna start taking more magnesium. I really am. Uh, the website is SHR net work.biz/brain stack.

[00:52:57] If you use the code SHR 10, you'll save 10% off. [00:53:00] I guarantee you I have more and more people telling me that cognitive Biotics and CapEx, they feel it. And it just makes sense. Then when you add the vitamins and minerals to this, you have a complete package that's going on to address why you feel.

[00:53:16] Fatigued in the first place, as opposed to like me, just keep pushing the gas pedal and trying to try to muscle the body to do what you want it to do. And then eventually it stops working anyway, and God knows what I'm doing to my body. I, so I often I'm going to let you into my brain. I often think to myself, I would love to go to like, The beach for three weeks and just sleep.

[00:53:41] No caffeine. I'll cut. I'll come off caffeine. If I don't have to come in here and think, and work and be energetic and just literally crash for three weeks, I feel like I could give up caffeine, but the problem is I wake up in the morning. I just don't feel it. I feel like I need a little [00:54:00] something or after I train in the morning, I feel like man, if I just had a little something to keep me going.

[00:54:06] And give me the, give me the desire to go in and work today. And so I turned to caffeine. It's, it's, it's a terrible situation. I am, it's not an addiction. It's it's it, you know it, I know that it's because I can kick it, but it's horrible. It's horrible. And I, and I live under the cloud of it. I really do. So I'm going to give this a try.

[00:54:25] I'm going to try this and I'm going to up my magnesium. I'm going to try to see if I can wean off the caffeine. I'll let everybody know. Listen, I want to thank you again for being here and being sponsors. The website is SHR network.biz/brain stack. Uh, try the brain stack. It's SHR 10 is the code to get an additional 10% off.

[00:54:47] Thanks for being here today, guys.

[00:54:48] Matt Gallant: [00:54:48] And it's already a hot deal was that, you know, the 10%, a hot deal with a 10%.

[00:54:53] Wade Lightheart: [00:54:53] And if you're not totally blown away and feeling the difference. Like out of all our products, you get all your money back. No questions

[00:55:00] [00:54:59] Carl Lanore: [00:54:59] asked. I mean, what, what are you waiting for? What are you waiting for?

[00:55:03] Except what can you lose? Except finding out that you have a great brain underneath that sludge. How about that one? Hi guys. Thanks so much for being here today. We're going to take one quick commercial break and when we come back, I'm going to do some whining and complaining about this week. Also tell you what's going on with Facebook and YouTube got a lot of exciting stuff going on.

[00:55:27] So stay tuned. We'll be right back with more superhuman radio. Wouldn't crave it. Evolution just got kicked up a notch.

[00:55:37] Who's that good looking guy on the motorcycle. I ride that motorcycle every day. I love that motorcycle. It's the best. And I'm getting sad because it's cool in the mornings this morning, it was like 57 degrees. I had to wear a jacket. You see my, this, I nicked myself today. Holy mackerel. It bled for hours.

[00:55:54] I finally got it to stop blow dryer. If you don't know how to stop a Nick, a [00:56:00] blow dryer, I'm telling you, you can put a little paper on it to absorb the blood. You point a blow dryer out. He gotta be careful. Don't burn yourself. And the NIC will feel hotter than the rest of your face, but that coagulates the blood.

[00:56:12] And then you take a damp towel and. Pat the tissue and you can peel it off without bleeding again. So anyway, this week has been the week from hell. Um, we got shut down on YouTube from streaming for nothing. I did it. It's such a scam. And of course I can't get them to respond and fix the problem because they are all powerful.

[00:56:38] Um, But I think we have like another 24, 25 days before we can stream live on Facebook. Again, YouTube gave me a challenge yesterday, kept taking the show down. I had to find there's a, there's a service called streamable.com where they don't, you put anything up there you want and [00:57:00] they leave it there. So we're gonna use streamable every time.

[00:57:03] Um, YouTube jerks show, you know, I talk about health and fitness. I interview scientists who are publishing research and maybe that research doesn't fit the narrative that YouTube wants. It's still valid research from valid universities by real scientists, but yet they take stuff down. It just, it's just ridiculous.

[00:57:29] And I really hope that in the near future, this all changes. I really do. Um, the objective, I think is, you know, for, for 14 years, uh, let's say 13 years, I only started doing live video last year. So for 13 years I've done nothing, but my live stream from my server at, you know, that we control and people were able to listen.

[00:57:56] Then we had problems with the iPhone apps and all that of this stuff, and we [00:58:00] kinda got derailed. Tom bill, you gave me good advice is do video no matter what do video. And I thought, well, I can do live video, which is even greater because I have audience participation, but I'm really rethinking, uh, any of this.

[00:58:15] I'm really rethinking this from a standpoint of I'm thinking that. I want to be autonomous again, where I don't have to depend on faith. I mean, look, I have a very small Facebook following. There's a lot of podcasts out there. They have 30, 40,000 Facebook followers. I think I've got like 9,000 and that's because I've never promoted anything on Facebook and YouTube.

[00:58:36] We just started the YouTube channel this year. We didn't even have a YouTube channel till this year. I mean, think about how far behind the curve I am with that. But the reality is. I liked being autonomous. I liked working on my own. I liked doing things that I had complete control over the delivery of.

[00:58:56] And I'm really thinking that maybe that's what we're going to go back to. [00:59:00] This service streamable allows me to store and upload the videos that we produce. Maybe we'll stop doing live videos. Maybe we'll just start prerecording the video, just the way I used to prerecord. Um, The audio back in the day before I had a stream and put it up on our website and have those people we'll follow the website, have access to this, this information.

[00:59:26] I don't like I have a really bad feeling this week, by the way, Facebook handled what they did and the way YouTube handled, what they did. And I think that let everybody else be Facebook and YouTube stars. I think I'm going to find a way to go back to what made me successful from the beginning. And that is standing on my own, delivering my own content on my own terms, because I can see it.

[00:59:52] I can see me doing a show, a really good show. Um, you know, with a real [01:00:00] scientist, who's, who's applauded for their research and YouTube takes it down because it doesn't meet their standards or Facebook pulling this crap again on me. Look, Facebook said, I made a post on September 11th about Osama bin Laden and they.

[01:00:19] Uh, blocked me from streaming for T for 30 days because of that, I didn't make that post I've messaged them every day, since it happened, asking them to show me where, because when you make a post that's taken down, they send you a notice. They send you a message, your inbox. They say, Hey, we took this post down because it didn't meet our community standards.

[01:00:46] I never got a message like that about September 11th. And on top of that, I didn't make a post about Osama bin Laden on September, but that was too busy working. So either. Somebody at Facebook is effing with [01:01:00] me because maybe they, I don't like some of my other posts. I figure we'll fix this guy. We'll we'll, we're going to put them out of business.

[01:01:04] You're not putting me out of business because the delivery of my podcast across all the podcast networks, that's where that the bread and butter video is really no big deal. What do I get? Five, six, 700 views over the course of some period of time. That's not where it's at. I get over 50,000 downloads an episode of the podcast.

[01:01:22] That's where my bread and butter is. And that I have complete control over well to a certain degree. Obviously I have to work with iTunes and Stitcher, but they're, they're wonderful. These, these companies are wonderful. So I, I really feel this week. Yeah. It frazzled me. I I'm thinking to myself, I don't want to have Facebook or YouTube to have any control over.

[01:01:47] What I do and how I do it, because I am always going to talk about things that are timely, all legitimate backed by science, but don't fit [01:02:00] the narrative that these two platforms are promoting. So anyway, it's been a great week, even with all that we've done some fantastic shows, the rapid myosin show, which is a game changer.

[01:02:12] If you didn't have a chance to listen to that, please go back and listen to it. And of course, BiOptimizers is a longterm sponsor of the show and always patronize the sponsors whenever possible, because they make this show possible. Uh, go to SHR network.biz/brain stack use code SHR tend to save an additional 10% open, already reduced price on the stack that we talked about today and, uh, have a safe and wonderful weekend.

[01:02:43] I'm going to try to spend as much time on the bike as I can training every day. Again, I feel so good that I'm training again. Tomorrow's leg day. Uh, and we will see everybody next week. Remember muscle is metabolic currency. So get into the gym and make a deposit today. We'll [01:03:00] see you later. .
