[00:00:00] Carl Lanore: [00:00:00] hey, Hey, welcome back to another episode of superhuman radio. Today is October 23rd, 2020. Those of you who follow the show on Facebook are confused right now, because this morning it was supposed to be about the ultimate immunity stack. And we will do that show next month. Uh, today we're going to revisit magnesium because we know that.

[00:00:21] A lot of people are deficient in magnesium and there's a lot of confusion about magnesium quizzes, lots of forms, and they all seem to do different things. So we're going to get into that today. Then later in the show, I've discovered the single best way to tell if you're over-trained. And I think that those of you who have been over-trained, who I flirt with, over-training constantly because I'm a jerk.

[00:00:47] I overtrain constantly. I I've discovered something that nobody's talking about when we talk about over-training that may actually be more important to follow and I'll explain why, but that'll be later in the show. Of course we have to thank our title sponsor, eat [00:01:00] legendary.com, legendary foods, SHR 10, 10% off.

[00:01:03] They have a new tasty pastry. And it's hot fudge sundae, tasty pastry. It actually has, uh, at more than nine grand, I think it has 12 or 15 grams of high leucine, high protein, a high quality protein, less than one gram of sugar tastes looks, smells like a pop tart, but it's healthy biome for your kids. They won't know that they're healthy.

[00:01:26] Go to eat legendary.com. Use the code SHR 10 to get 10% off, off. And now without further delay, one of the guys I love having on the show. Because he's so sincerely interested in people's wellbeing and that is Wade Lightheart from BiOptimizers. How are you doing weight?

[00:01:46] Wade Lightheart: [00:01:46] Well, great to be here as always. I always look forward to coming on the superhuman show and I know I'm sitting here going God.

[00:01:52] I want to know this training secret because I like you. I love to train. And I recently took a little bit [00:02:00] extra time off. And all of a sudden, like I kind of blew up and I'm like, geez. You know? Um, I think I'm, over-training again, you know, I guess it's hard to adjust your mind when you were a hard performing guy, like in your twenties.

[00:02:12] And you're like, okay, I'm almost 50, but I, my mind thinks like the 20 year old, I think I can do what a 20 year old can.

[00:02:18] Carl Lanore: [00:02:18] Yeah. I'm that guy. I, in fact, I listened to music like Lincoln park when I trained. So I'm, I'm stuck in that 16 year old. I'm really angry. Deep down inside, inside this stuff inside this 62 year old rotting body.

[00:02:31] But, you know, I think that's an interesting point that you make guys like you and I, we don't pay attention to over-training because we, we, we, we believe that if we write that prescription, that we have to train legs today, we have to train legs today. And, and, and I'm, uh, I finally have always said the only bad workout is a missed workout, but I'm starting to rethink that.

[00:02:55] I'm starting to rethink that I've discovered a new way to train. I'm actually going to launch my [00:03:00] own training style. I've got about 16 personal trainers helping me. Uh, but, but the problem with it is it really pushes the central nervous system very quickly. And so I've, I've, I've tried it three days on one day off.

[00:03:16] I've tried two days on one day off. I tried two days, two days off, two days on two days off. And now I'm trying one day on two days off. And I've discovered something, but I'll talk about it. Yeah. Later in the show, if you want to stay with me, if you don't have anywhere to go, just stay with me through the, under the show.

[00:03:32] It's entirely up to you. You're welcome to stay because I would love to hear your feedback as well. So if you have the time, let's do that, but we're here to talk about something very important today. People underestimate the value of magnesium. It's been shown to reverse type two diabetes and certain people, um, But the problem with magnesium is there's so many different forms and they each do something different and people are confused.

[00:03:58] Talk about magnesium [00:04:00] for a second. Well, it

[00:04:01] Wade Lightheart: [00:04:01] actually correlates to actually what you were talking about today because you know, a few years back and just to kind of go with it, you know, some of our dysfunctional psychologies is like type a high-performer guys that think that you can just live the same way we did in our 20 and a couple of years ago.

[00:04:19] Um, I, I was in a serious serial entrepreneur mode, opened up a new business. I got into a big situation with a partner that, you know, how you get in those situations. And you're like, Oh, well, you know what, I'm just going to, I'm going to grind my way out of it. And I worked for literally two years straight, 12 to 15 hour days.

[00:04:38] Never took a day off. Trying to get myself out of a situation. It was a disaster for my health. I relied on stimulants too much. I got myself to a point where I was like, Oh my God, I'm living in hell. I was my own worst enemy. And I, and I know all the things I'm supposed to do. That's the part, right. It's just like, okay, you know what?

[00:04:56] I'm superhuman. I don't need to pay attention at [00:05:00] red lights. We just blow through. And that just means go faster. Right. You know, like whatever. And I got myself into trouble and I did some, um, Some testing and with my naturopathic doctor and he's like, dude, you're your, you, your cortisol levels are through your roof.

[00:05:16] You're just Austrian levels are dropping. Your estrogen levels are way too high and you. Are going to be like your magnesium levels are just bottomed rate out. And I did the, the SpectraCell test, which I think is a great test for people to really not just look at your blood levels, but also to look how much your cells are absorbing because as you know, absorption of whatever you're taking is every bit as important as how much you're taking or the type that you're taking.

[00:05:42] Can you absorb it? Right. So long story short, but what triggered in my mind at that time? Cause I was blown out. Is, I was at a conference with none other than the strength sensei

[00:05:57] Carl Lanore: [00:05:57] and every part of it.

[00:06:00] [00:06:00] Wade Lightheart: [00:06:00] Yes. And, and in that moment of kind of like, hell a little. Memory came back from a few years before I'd attended the Bulletproof conference and he did an amazing lecture and he was in one of the breakout stages.

[00:06:17] And I, I don't know why he wasn't on the main stage because he probably laid out more golden nuggets in that hour than any single person I'd ever listened to on a, on a, on a, at an event. And one of the things that he said it stuck with me is that with his high performing athletes, And this guy trained gold medalist in 27 different sports, the who's who of professional, athleticism and everything.

[00:06:42] He said he was using. Different types of magnesiums to offset the stress that was put on their nervous system from this high performance training that they were undergoing. And he went into detail and started explaining, there were some magnesiums for the nervous [00:07:00] system, some for the heart, some for the brain.

[00:07:02] And he made a chemist, uh, some, some really interesting chemical, uh, connections we talked about on one of your other podcasts. And that is, uh, Chinese medicine. And the different herbs relate it. A neuro CA to neurochemistry in Western physiology. So the whole five elements in Chinese medicine, he actually correlate it with neurochemistry.

[00:07:25] Now, if you understand neurochemistry, because one of the big things about training, particularly as you get older, is your muscles. Might have recovered the actual muscle tissue might recover, but what doesn't recover is your nervous system, your nervous system, hasn't recovered in all the growth, all the power, all the energy comes out of your nervous system.

[00:07:46] In a lot of it has. You're not able to clear out the toxins out of your brain and. Up regulate your neuro-transmitters right. That's why fighters as they get older, they start to slow down. Cause they can't snap that shot. They don't have the neural [00:08:00] connective fi that the pathways are there, the movements are there, the motor skills are there.

[00:08:04] They don't have the, the neurochemistry to do it. And I was like, Oh my God, that's that, that that's me. And well, I got into this magnesium thing and so. I talked to everybody in every and anybody about magnesium, which ones they were doing. And I got confused because everybody was saying this magnesium, that magnesium is thing.

[00:08:21] So I said, well, there's only one way to do this. And you know, Matt, my business partner, he's a spreadsheet guy. So we just ordered every magnesium we could get

[00:08:31] Carl Lanore: [00:08:31] possible.

[00:08:32] Wade Lightheart: [00:08:32] Right. We just said, I still remember what this was. Like, I just got bottles all across my counselor, like

[00:08:37] Carl Lanore: [00:08:37] thousands of dollars, so magnesium.

[00:08:39] Right.

[00:08:40] Wade Lightheart: [00:08:40] And we just started categorizing them using the principles of ortho molecular. Uh, nutrition in North of molecular nutrition. This was developed by dr. Abraham Hoffer, dr. Linus Pauling and dr. David Hawkins. And they were, what they would do is take super physiological dosages to alter disease [00:09:00] pathways or eliminate disease.

[00:09:01] And I was in clinical neurological depression and adrenal fatigue. I was just toast. So I'm like, okay, what do I need to do? So I would take each magnesium. And I would start dosing up until I got the runs. So I'd start with magnesium keel light, and I start with citrate and then I would start with, you know, basically so name and on and on down the list to see what was my tolerance level for each ones.

[00:09:25] Cause they were different. And then we categorize what I felt now. I felt better. On virtually all of them. And there was a significant variance of when I would get the runs. And so when you get the runs, basically what that means is your body can't absorb any more. That, that mineral,

[00:09:41] Carl Lanore: [00:09:41] right. Actually causing something called osmotic diarrhea.

[00:09:45] It's not being absorbed. So it stays in the digestive tract and it attracts fluid to it.

[00:09:50] Wade Lightheart: [00:09:50] Correct. And sometimes you want that. So for example, you're in constipation. If you were having trouble constipation, like magnesium citrate is really good for that, but too much [00:10:00] magnesium citrate and you'll cause dehydration, you can run into a bunch of problems.

[00:10:03] So, so anyways, long story short, we started working on all these different magnesiums and then, Oh, so then it got down to, I was basically doing calculus every day to figure out, okay, I need. One cap of this one, I need two caps of this one. I'm going to take a cap of this one at 11 and one of this. So it got very, very, he complicated.

[00:10:22] Right. And finally he said, okay, well, what if we actually put all the best magnesiums in one single capsule? Like, wouldn't that be a good idea when eliminate problem? Well, and it's like, well, why didn't anybody do this?

[00:10:36] Carl Lanore: [00:10:36] Yeah. There's gotta be a reason, right? Yeah.

[00:10:38] Wade Lightheart: [00:10:38] Well, there was, it turns out there was because.

[00:10:41] What people don't understand about like magnesium and it says like magnesium aspartate or magnesium Kool-Aid or whatever it happens to be. The second part is the bonding agent that goes with that magnesium. And that's what delivers it to a different organ or a different part of the body. [00:11:00] Now here's the, here's the fun part though.

[00:11:02] It's a different size in molecules. So what happens. The reason why people didn't put them all, because what happens is you cannot, they didn't have a machine that could put, when you start quoting all these different, magnesiums it clogs the machine up and that stuff won't go into the capsules properly.

[00:11:21] It won't mix up properly. And then what a lot of companies will do to get around these things. And you see all these kind of chemical agents they put in they're called excipients, which are flow regulators,

[00:11:38] Carl Lanore: [00:11:38] agents, right. They keep things from sticking together. Think about that. That's their only purpose. And it's more for production than the value of the human body.

[00:11:46] Wade Lightheart: [00:11:46] Correct. And that's why you, when you see products with all those weirdness on it, you know that they're not going the extra mile on product quality, and they're giving you a lot of stuff that you don't want in your body, which may have problems.

[00:12:00] [00:11:59] Carl Lanore: [00:11:59] So

[00:12:00] Wade Lightheart: [00:12:00] long story short, we went through, literally, we tried all these different machines. We finally got the machines to work and it blew the capsules open. Cause it couldn't hold the key. The capsule strength wasn't enough because of the variants that we had to get special capsules made long story short.

[00:12:16] We figured this out and we said, great, we've got a magnesium that w w we'll deal with what we want. So we might as well sell it, right. We're just, that's really how we got into, we have an itch and you scratch it and you go with, so we decided, well, let's turn it up there. We were unprepared what happened.

[00:12:31] We were unprepared for people who, who knew our company and knew our branding guys, such as yourself and many other influencers said, Hey, yeah, we tried it. We really like it. We really feel good.

[00:12:42] Carl Lanore: [00:12:42] Well then, well then it was like a tidal wave.

[00:12:45] Wade Lightheart: [00:12:45] Because now all these people are writing are coming. Hey, my headaches have gone away.

[00:12:49] I'm sleeping better. You know, uh, I feel like my old self, again, I don't get the jitters from caffeine. All these kinds of things are coming in over and over and over and over. And I don't have PMs cramps and stuff. [00:13:00] And we're like, well, this magnesium deficiency is way deep. Like we knew that there was is deficiency, but here's what a lot of people don't.

[00:13:09] I understand there's no standard for what's optimal. Nobody knows. So what we're figuring out now that if you start dosing up and taking, like what would be considered super physiological doses, just like what these guys did back in the seventies with founding orthomolecular nutrition, there's a cascade of nervous system benefits that are exceptional.

[00:13:36] And particularly in today's time, there's another deep dark fact of the modern times that we don't know. And that is the more time that you're spending on a computer. The more time you're spending in high electrical magnetic EMF environments. And the more stressed out you become, the more magnesium your body starts to dump out of your system.

[00:14:00] [00:13:59] Interesting. This leads to osteoporosis, this leads to brain fog. This leads to, I don't have that pop anymore. At least the low sex drive. At least there's just an incredible array of things that go wrong when you don't have enough magnesium because it's involved in over 600 different roles inside your body.

[00:14:19] And so now people start dosing up. Like we are doing there, they're starting at like a half gram, three times a day, and then they're going up from there and we've got some people taking five grams a day and there's like, I feel like I'm so cold now. Like what used to just blow me out and stress me out.

[00:14:36] I'm just chill. And it's really remarkable. And I'm just excited to talk about some of the nuances of it.

[00:14:42] Carl Lanore: [00:14:42] We have a couple of questions first, so. Steven rushing says it's been recommended to him to take a SpectraCell test. What, what are your thoughts on SpectraCell tests?

[00:14:55] Wade Lightheart: [00:14:55] I think it's fantastic. What do you,

[00:14:57] Carl Lanore: [00:14:57] what does it show you?

[00:14:58] What does SpectraCell show you?

[00:15:00] [00:15:00] Wade Lightheart: [00:15:00] Okay. So here's what they do. They take your blood out of your system and they send it off to a lab down in Texas. It has to be iced and get there in a certain period of time, like 24 hours in the, in what they do. When most tests that you get done from your naturopathic doctor or your GP or whatever, it's going to show what's in your blood.

[00:15:19] But what you really need to know is what your cells are absorbing. So they spin these and then they can tell, Hey, maybe you have a weird recessive gene or something that makes it very hard for you to. Upregulate vitamin C and they can tell by how much you're taking and how much you're actually getting.

[00:15:39] So what's actually deficient in the tissue because it, it needs to be in that tissue. I always thought the only way to get the result,

[00:15:46] Carl Lanore: [00:15:46] I always thought the only way to do that was a punch biopsy. So you're saying they can just draw your blood and do that.

[00:15:51] Wade Lightheart: [00:15:51] Yep. This is the new, this is the new tech and what they do is they, apparently they spin the nutrients in these, uh,

[00:15:58] Carl Lanore: [00:15:58] centrifuges.

[00:16:00] [00:15:59] Wade Lightheart: [00:15:59] Yeah. Yeah. And then, and then as it goes into the centrifuge, they can see how much the cell is actually going to absorb versus what's in the actual serum. So it's pretty cool. And my knee, my ND Landi, Paul Maximus, he's a great guy. He's a young guy and he's a super smart guy. And he has that, uh, we did an episode.

[00:16:19] He had the five gold standards of what every guy should be taking for testing. And he said, and that's one of them.

[00:16:27] Carl Lanore: [00:16:27] So we're going to start talking about the actual forms of magnesium that are in this product. And I think it will answer some of the questions on the side here. So the very first one is magnesium key late or key late, depending on what part of the world you're from.

[00:16:41] Talk about that.

[00:16:43] Wade Lightheart: [00:16:43] Yeah. So this one is really popular for particularly in the sleep community. And what it does is it helps quiet the nervous system, and it's really related to melanoma melatonin production. A lot of people take melatonin to kind of [00:17:00] sleep. But if you take it for a long time, that can have a lot of complications inside the body.

[00:17:04] What you really want to do is boost your precursors of magnesium, uh, with, uh, magnesium Pilates. So it really is active in. The conversion of your neuro-transmitters, your production of neuro-transmitters inside the body. And so that's what a lot of people like to use it for sleep in particular and the hormone regulation and hormone manufacturing.

[00:17:29] Carl Lanore: [00:17:29] Sorry about that. I had to blow my nose. So I had to put your pretty face up there for a second. I'm having an, all of a sudden,

[00:17:36] Wade Lightheart: [00:17:36] if I got

[00:17:36] Carl Lanore: [00:17:36] a pretty face where drove a car, dude, you're handsome compared to me, I look like a frigging old shoe. Are you kidding me? So. Magnesium citrate or citrate. What about that?

[00:17:47] Wade Lightheart: [00:17:47] Now? This is the one that is used most for acid indigestion or for laxatives. So it seems to work really well inside. And of course, for those who have listened to all of our digestive [00:18:00] health, um, you know, Conversations. And it's a single canal from your mouth to your butt. And the bottom line is, is acid reflux.

[00:18:09] Oftentimes magnesium can, um, citrate can really help with that, but particularly citrate draws water into the body. And I do believe that's, it's an, I don't have definitive information on this. This is my theory. I want to be clear about that. But with acid reflux, what happens is. The imp it's because of lack, for most part, lack of hydrochloric acid, not too much.

[00:18:36] And one of the precursors for producing hydrochloric acid. Is water. And the other thing is magnesium. So these things are involved in the production that alleviates. And so I think what, when, when the citrate will actually bring more water in, which is a precursor to actually making the hydrochloric acid, and a lot of people are chronically to hydrant.

[00:18:57] First and foremost, you should just drink more water.

[00:19:00] [00:19:00] Carl Lanore: [00:19:00] That's the, got it. But you've got to add minerals to the water. That's the thing we're missing from an evolutionary perspective. And that's why magnesium is so important.

[00:19:08] Wade Lightheart: [00:19:08] Water is the best magic pill there ever was created. Just drinking more clean, uh, mineral, rich water.

[00:19:16] Uh, the second thing is it, when it's in the intestinal, track it again, it draws more water in. So again, when people are dehydrated and they're constipated and they're eating a lot of drawing type of foods, guess what? This is the product that can help get things moving. And also with the muscle tone is get that relaxation.

[00:19:33] Cause a lot of people that are highly caffeinated. The intestinal track will start to constrict and dry out. And that's when you put it in the citrate in a lot of older people really respond very well to that. The, the one negative Onsi trait too much, and you get the runs. This is the one where you get the magnesium runs the easiest.

[00:19:51] So I would get that when I just doing them individually. That's the one that went with all our testing team would get the runs with the lowest

[00:19:58] Carl Lanore: [00:19:58] dosage. [00:20:00] And I, and I really think that the way I want to contribute something to the whole GERD. Acid reflux discussion acid reflux as a result of the hatch opening up.

[00:20:14] And, and we know that things that are stimulating like caffeine, like other methods and themes that you find in chocolate, people who have acid reflux, it gets worse when they use caffeine or when they use other methods and things. Magnesium is known to be a neuro-transmitter suppressor, it relaxes. So I think that's another valuable thing that magnesium does for people who have acid reflux.

[00:20:45] It reverses that, that sympathetic parasympathetic imbalance that causes the esophageal sphincter to start to open up first and foremost, and it allows it to close again. So there's a lot of good value for people [00:21:00] who have. Um, acid reflux to benefit from magnesium. The other forms are magnesium glycinate.

[00:21:08] How is this different? First of all, the magnesium glycinate. First of all.

[00:21:12] Wade Lightheart: [00:21:12] Uh, it's just a better bonding. It seems to be uptaken by the body a lot more. So people who like glycenate or look at the literature, literature, they found that the biscuits innate, uh, or BIS glycinate, however people want to pronounce it is superior to the glycenate.

[00:21:27] So any of the literature you see in glycenate that you can just core cohort, correlate it with the biscuit, listen eight. So it's just how it's, it's bonded. Um, this is the one that's really great. Uh, I love this particular magnesium, and I'll tell you why, because it deals with some of the major issues that people have.

[00:21:48] Number one, it can help decrease blood pressure, you know, high blood pressure. Of course, there's so many people with heart disease and these types of things, and it does so by it's a vassal dilator. [00:22:00] So, what that means is it actually opens up the artery. So migraine headaches, almost all migraine headaches are caused by a constriction, used to an inflammatory response inside the body.

[00:22:10] So people who suffer from migraine headaches, people that suffer from high blood pressure type two diabetes, you talked about, uh, some people regulating their, their, their blood sugar issues. And we're actually working. We're, we're really deep in the blood. Yeah. Trigger conversation right now. We're testing an incredible array of blood sugar regulators, because it's such a huge issue.

[00:22:32] People think of diabetes and they say, Oh, well you just take insulin. The consequences of being on insulin for a long time or are significantly bad. And magnesium helps regulate by breaking down blood sugars and D and it decreases insulin resistance, which is cool. And then also this one is also been shown in studies to be good for osteoporosis.

[00:22:55] So in North America, we are an interesting situation.

[00:22:59] Carl Lanore: [00:22:59] You see,

[00:23:00] [00:23:00] Wade Lightheart: [00:23:00] since then, since the 1940s, when the baby boom happened, after the nuclear weapons were used, we had all this nitrogen leftover from the old bombs and there was an explosion of the population and governments, like how are we going to feed all these people?

[00:23:14] And they started to implement. Farming boards and government work things. And they started doing monoculture farming and there was no crop rotation. And they started to really, uh, exhaust the minerals of the soil because he used to rotate your crops. Seven years have a year of fallow that nothing was growing and they would grow hemp on it and they would reconstitute the soil and then they would, you know, grow each crop.

[00:23:35] Carl Lanore: [00:23:35] Right.

[00:23:35] Wade Lightheart: [00:23:35] Well, they stopped doing that. And so now. Th the, the mineral depletion of magnesium in our soil is so deficient. You can't eat. It doesn't matter how healthy you eat. You can't get enough magnesium, just even for the, to prevent, you know, things like osteoporosis happening. And then on top of that, we don't know what the optimal levels is.

[00:23:54] And our diets tend to be high calcium. Everything's fortified with calcium, and they exist in a two to [00:24:00] one ratio with magnesium being the control. So if you don't have enough magnesium, your body will start to dump calcium to regulate. And this is what leads to osteoporosis while all the studies on bisque glycenate says it's the superior form for dealing with those things as well as also there's some new research.

[00:24:18] On it's con uh, its its ability to improve serotonin from neuro-transmitter functioning. So that feel good. So I think a lot of people. Uh, when they find, if they're a little bit depressed in serotonin, they don't have that kind of feel good feeling all the time. They know that it's, it's kind of a subtle thing.

[00:24:35] You just, you got kind of a bland feeling. This is one that, uh, a lot of our friends in the psychology world are, are really excited about. What's been happening. People just start, you start to get this sense of calm and clear and positive outlook when you're, when your serotonin levels are right. So antidepressants, by the way, one of the reasons they rotate is because it antidepressants [00:25:00] can really blow out your magnesium levels.

[00:25:02] And so they got to re rotate from the different types. And this leads to a further depression of magnesium. And I got some really good friends, some very like people who I love. I've known them from years that have struggled with depression. And I put him on a magnesium breakthrough with their cogni Biotics formula.

[00:25:20] And they're like, I feel like a new person. I don't know what's going

[00:25:24] Carl Lanore: [00:25:24] on. Amazing.

[00:25:25] Wade Lightheart: [00:25:25] Okay. It's, you know, there's so many people struggling with mental health issues. And I really believe that a lot of it is because they can't, it's not that they need these. They're not deficient in antidepressants, they're deficient and food nutrients that makes and chemicals.

[00:25:40] And nobody's talking about that in the psychology world. And I think it's an area that we've got to really go after because mental health issues are crippling the nation they're crippling the nation.

[00:25:51] Carl Lanore: [00:25:51] I want to answer a question before we go into our break. Chrissy's Fox posted this question, but there's a couple other people who posted similar questions.

[00:25:59] How [00:26:00] effective is transdermal? Magnesium. I want to speak to this, then I'll let you go. Sure. So I made a career on creating transdermals. Uh, back in the day I was the go-to guy. If you were an anabolic steroid use and you didn't want to inject, I would show you how to home brew your own transdermals and make them, you know, very effective.

[00:26:20] So. When you apply a modicum of critical thinking, you have to think about this. Okay. If transdermal, magnesium is good than an Epson, salt bath is great. Now we hear a lot of feedback from people in Epson, salt baths that they, their aches and pains go away. But we don't know how much of that is just from the heat, from the hot water.

[00:26:42] So I've often thought about transdermally delivered, um, minerals. Your body, your skin has what is a tantamount to a sh roof shingles. It's called a stratum corneum. These are designed to let things out of the [00:27:00] skin, but protect the skin from absorbing things. Think about this. If magnesium transdermal, magnesium really worked that every time you went swimming in the ocean, you would have an overload of sodium you'd come home.

[00:27:15] You'd be bloated. Your doctor would say, my God, what do you do? And cut back on your salt. You literally get out of the, out of the ocean, a couple pounds heavier than you got in. Because if, if sodium can get in from the ocean, then that means magnesium can get in from trans thermal. And I know people go well.

[00:27:31] Yeah, but transdermals. Are designed. Yeah. Transdermals are designed to disrupt the stratum. Corneum separate them so things can get in, but so is water. If you sit in it long enough, we all know we get that puckery skin. When you sit in the water, sitting in the water long enough will also disrupt the stratum.

[00:27:48] Corneum. I am not a proponent of transdermal minerals at all. Now, can you absorb some of the, maybe is it going to be better than orally? Probably not because [00:28:00] the body is designed to resist that absorption. Now I'll let you speak to it. Am I off base? What do you think?

[00:28:07] Wade Lightheart: [00:28:07] You're, you're bang on the money here.

[00:28:08] So, uh, uh, you've said everything that needs to be said about that. Um, we were given a mouth for a reason. We were given a, but for a reason, you know, we're, so that's the intake and outtake valves, you know, um, There are benefits to some aspects of transdermal, but like you said, these are scientifically developed.

[00:28:29] Um, do I think there's a relaxation response? I've know I've taken magnesium, uh, bass versus a regular bath. I do like a magnesium bath personally. I do like it. I put the Epsom salt in there. I feel good. I don't know if what's being absorbed, but I can tell you one thing. It's not going to show up on a SpectraCell test that my magnesium levels suddenly went up afterwards.

[00:28:52] Oh, the science says that that's not going to improve my cellular magnesium levels. And this [00:29:00] is the thing. That's the foundational concepts in our company. You are not what you eat. You are not what you believe in you are what you digest, absorb, and utilize. Now while I will say one other thing, though.

[00:29:11] Some molecules like fluoride in your water or chlorine in the water do have an super high absorption rate. So there are elements that can get into the cells and I'll give you people a little test. That's really interesting. You can take, like if you take shower, water, and you have chlorine in it. Okay.

[00:29:32] You can get these little chlorine drops and you it'll turn the drops yellow. So take

[00:29:37] Carl Lanore: [00:29:37] a test to test. Test for chlorine.

[00:29:40] Wade Lightheart: [00:29:40] Take, take two to three of these, take one, put the drops in it, take the other, and stir your finger around in it for 10, 15 seconds. And then put the drops in. Guess what? No chlorine in the water.

[00:29:54] Carl Lanore: [00:29:54] Wow.

[00:29:54] Wade Lightheart: [00:29:54] Fluoride. They get hooked to thyroid. One of the master glands for your metabolism and [00:30:00] controls all these things. You can get into a lot of trouble. So a lot of ladies who like to bath and their Epson salts and chlorinated water are screwing themselves up metabolically over time and running into thyroid issues.

[00:30:12] I believe because a thyroid iodine and iodine fluoride, or the halogen elements, which they're very, very small and they're uptaken by the body. Magnesium is a larger molecule and is not as easily uptaken by that. So I just want it to kind of flush it out and it kind of came up. But I wanted to just clarify that.

[00:30:30] Carl Lanore: [00:30:30] So I, I, there's a follow-up question I want to answer then we'll take our break. Sure. Yes. Molecular size matters. Anything under 400 Dalton is capable of being compounded into a transdermal vehicle. So while, uh, while many of the things that we're talking about, Are definitely available to be transdermally delivered, including magnesium.

[00:30:55] I think it's at 34,000 3,434 Dalton. I think it's an [00:31:00] ultra small, but then it becomes the D dose. So if you put the average hydro alcoholic, transdermal vehicle only delivers 10%. Less at than based Organo gels 34%. Now, if you need three grams of magnesium a day, rubbing some on your arm or your leg, isn't going to get it done because you got to remember, there's only a certain amount of that can be delivered through the skin, even with high.

[00:31:33] Well, I mean, they use electrophoresis to improve the, the, the delivery of drugs in transdermal. It only delivers 60%. So in order to, I mean, you'd have to rub three, six, nine, 12 grams of it on your skin in order to get some negligence about my mouth. If you just take it orally, it's there, it's going to be distributed throughout the whole body.

[00:31:54] So you're right. Um, drugs and small molecular [00:32:00] items can be delivered through the skin, but then it becomes a matter of, well, what is an effective dose and how much you have to rub on your skin in order to get an effective dose. It's just easier to take it orally. It really is. And then on that note, there's all seven forms of magnesium that we're talking about today in magnesium breakthrough.

[00:32:20] And you can save up to 40% off right now. It is simply the best. Why? Because everybody on the sideline is talking about the magnesium that they, well, I liked this one. It's all in there. So you don't have to choose if you go to SHR network.biz/mag breakthrough, mag, B R E K T H R O U G H. And use the code SHR 10.

[00:32:43] You can save up to 40% off the single best magnesium supplement in the world. And let's face it. We all agree on one thing. Everybody's talking about the different forms of magnesium, but we hold agree that people need more magnesium. This is the magnesium to use. We're going to take a quick commercial break.

[00:32:57] We'll answer all your questions. Stay tuned. [00:33:00] We'll be right back with more superhuman radio.

[00:33:06] This is the superhuman channel, doing reps with the weight of the world.

[00:33:14] a lot of people are commenting about getting fluoride out of the water. It's very simple to do this lots of good filters out there that will do that, but you should do that. We have a whole house filter and we also have a shower, head filter. Fluoride is a nasty, nasty thing. And we're learning more and more about it.

[00:33:31] In fact, most developed nations today have removed fluoride from the water except here in the United States. I'm not going to get into the politics of that, but there's something going on. That's for sure. We're talking today about. Magnesium with Wade Lightheart of BiOptimizers, they're a sponsor of the show.

[00:33:48] I've said numerous times, that if you like the content we produce, if you're helped by the content we produce, then you have to show the sponsors some love and patronize them because they make this information [00:34:00] available. Soon, 15 years in November, this podcast has been, uh, on a journey to help people take control of their health, their aging, their performance, but it, none of it happens without.

[00:34:14] Companies like BiOptimizers so show them some love. They have the best, the best magnesium product in the world. Take all the guesswork out of it. Get all the forms you need and we're discussing the different forms. We're going to talk about magnesium aspartate now what, what is it? Magnesium aspartate what does it do weight

[00:34:33] Wade Lightheart: [00:34:33] well with magnesium aspartate um, This is a, a mag, a form of magnesium.

[00:34:39] So it's similar to glycenate or, or, or citrate. However, what this one is, particularly the research is on cardiovascular support. So that's arterial function and the Thiel function C reactive protein metabolism and lipid metabolism. So sometimes people will have [00:35:00] trouble metabolizing fats and things like that.

[00:35:03] They find that. Um, this can assist in that. And I do believe there's probably some correlation with, uh, the enzymes in lipase. I don't know. That's again. I want to be clear when I do. Some of these things. I I'll take research and I'll say, well, this may be why it's happening.

[00:35:20] Carl Lanore: [00:35:20] You're extrapolate you're extrapolating.

[00:35:22] Right.

[00:35:22] Wade Lightheart: [00:35:22] Right. And I want to be clear about that, but

[00:35:24] Carl Lanore: [00:35:24] wait a minute, but say something it's, it's, it's clear from all the research that magnesium is involved in some plethora of, of enzymatic, cascades and conversions. I mean, something ridiculous like 400 or 600 or more different. Uh, enzymatic cascades in the  cytochrome cascade of the liver all depend on magnesium to function.

[00:35:48] So it's not a, it's not a far extrapolation. It's probably pretty reasonable what you're saying.

[00:35:54] Wade Lightheart: [00:35:54] Yeah. And then the other thing, it's a acid alkaline balance in the body of this has been some research I've been [00:36:00] doing on that myth. There's getting a lot of traction on that right now about acid and alkaline balance inside the body.

[00:36:06] And some people are hyper acidic and some people are slightly more alkaline, but people in the hyper acidic side, they're finding when they use things like magnesium aspartate, they're showing some benefits in their ability to regulate their pH levels, you know, and we're talking. You know, when you're talking about pH levels, we're talking about little micro changes, but that micro changes is a lot, like we live in a very narrow range of health.

[00:36:30] It's kind of like the earth, if we're just a little bit, it's too far, a little bit too out,

[00:36:33] Carl Lanore: [00:36:33] we'd all be

[00:36:34] Wade Lightheart: [00:36:34] dead. Right. We're in the golden yeah. Zone and the same thing as with pH and we don't have enough magnesium and you're a hyper acidic type of person, oftentimes. Um, by adding magnesium, you're able to regulate your pH levels and aspartate the research has shown has been very successful.

[00:36:51] Then I'm not saying that other magnesiums wouldn't, but when you do these studies, what happens is the researchers for whatever reason, we'll [00:37:00] pick maybe an individual magnesium that they're using for that research that could get that benefit. But these are confirmed things, particularly with older individuals.

[00:37:08] There's a lot of research around this form of magnesium.

[00:37:13] Carl Lanore: [00:37:13] So the next one is really interesting to me and it doesn't take a lot of, um, searching to find out why it is the best form of magnesium for the heart. Magnesium is critical to the heart, and this one is bound to an amino acid that we all know called taurine.

[00:37:28] And we know that Turing improves cardiac output. It allows your heart to work harder and harder and harder without getting into that danger zone. Talk about this.

[00:37:39] Wade Lightheart: [00:37:39] This is a great product. I love magnesium Tori. And so when you're talking about cognitive function, uh, especially related to memory, taurine is something that acts similar to Gabba.

[00:37:53] Okay. Now for all those bodybuilders, remember, people were using GABA, uh, aminobutyric acid as a, an [00:38:00] enhancer for training and strength training, but also it seems to be able to reboost neurochemicals. So, so to reduce stress and anxiety, um, this was one of the things that for hard training people that train a lot and work out a lot.

[00:38:14] This is a great product. Also people who are suffering from migraines now what's interesting is way back in the day when I was in university. I actually ended up with exercise induced migraines. I had to take, uh, you know, I thought I was going to like have a brain seizure or something. And I went in and they did all the testing on my brain and everything.

[00:38:33] And what was happening. I was training so hard. I was getting, I was putting my nervous system in distress and it was constricting the blood flow. Now the same thing is relative to cardiovascular health because the. The taurine helps with allowing the blood to flow through the heart. And so particularly a lot of people don't realize, you know, my dad just had a heart surgery recently, you [00:39:00] know, he was out in the backyard, power, sawing down trees one day.

[00:39:04] And you know, he comes in that night and he's getting peanuts. Just what he didn't know is he had blockages in his heart for years. And when the stress got, you know, and he got to a certain age, That little bit of constriction could be the difference for you having a minor heart attack or a major heart attack.

[00:39:19] Uh, magnesium Tori is a vasodilator. It's great for neuro chemicals. Neuro-transmitters particularly in the GABA side of it. It also improves insulin sensitivity and here's one for the ladies, PMs, women who study from extreme pre-menstrual syndromes and a lot of cramps. And this is. Quite common amongst young girls.

[00:39:44] I mean, I know tons of girls who are literally, they can't even go to school they're in so much pain. Well, it turns out a lot of that is because of a, of a magnesium deficiency and they can at anytime you get cramping in the body or constriction, [00:40:00] magnesium is the element that relaxes the muscle tissue.

[00:40:02] It relaxes anything that, that dilates. And so even. You know, arteries and stuff, contract and relax. Very similar to me. It's not like you flex your, you know, it's not like you fix it, flex your aorta or something, but there is a, there is a change in those things. And of course, yeah, 24% of. Your body is the major arteries and veins.

[00:40:25] And then 76% is all like these little dental floss pieces at your extremes and stuff. And so as we age, a lot of people use lose sensitivity and blood flow to the extremities, and it's because those areas get gummed up and constricted and magnesium helps open those things up. I also use PMF devices in combination to open up the arteries on those extremities and, and get extraordinary results.

[00:40:49] And of course, with diabetics. Uh, and one of the correlations on that is a lot of them get the constriction and they start getting the pins and needles in their hands and their feet and things like that. [00:41:00] Magnesium helps reverse that trend. And I've had a number of people who were extreme diabetics that started to experience relief.

[00:41:07] I would suggest that they. Combine the magnesium with some PMF devices to open up the in combination. And it's a great combo for people suffering from that,

[00:41:16] Carl Lanore: [00:41:16] you know, and it's interesting. You talk about this. So early on, we thought diabetic neuropathy was a result of glycation D myelinating the nerve, but now we know it's not it's this, the microvasculature chokes off.

[00:41:33] It's the same thing. When you were a kid and you sat on your leg. Watching a movie, and then you've got, you stood up your leg. Didn't want to work. And then as blood flow increased to the nerves, you went through a phase of something called hyperalgesia where your leg actually hurt. Like, Oh my God, it hurts.

[00:41:50] And then as the blood flow re re uh, is re regained to the nerves, your nervous system, peripheral nervous system goes back to normal, your sensory peripheral, nervous system. [00:42:00] Well, we know that people have. Neuropathy now either from nutritional cause there's nutritional neuropathies. If you're missing certain things, your gut is messed up and you're not absorbing all the nutrition from the food.

[00:42:13] You'll start to get you feel like you have gloves on all the time. Oh, you feel like you have socks on all the time, but it's from blood flow regardless of whether it's nutritional or whether it's inflammatory related those small blood vessels that you're talking about. That make that I think there was estimated that if you label all the peripheral blood vessels together, it's like go from here to the moon that's in your body.

[00:42:36] And so they start to choke off nerves and they do something else that magnesium helps with. And maybe this is why when you get older, you start getting stiff. You just don't, you don't, you know, you gotta get up and take a couple steps before your legs get into the groove. When you're young, you could jump up drought, do whatever you, that stiffness is also ameliorated to a great [00:43:00] degree by taking magnesium in general.

[00:43:02] So, you know, and again, I keep coming back to the fact that there's lots of different magnesiums that do lots of different things, but if you just want to take the guesswork out of it, you just go to. SHR network.biz/mag B R E. AK T H R O U G H mag breakthrough. And you can save up to 40%. I guarantee if you start using this magnesium, you won't have to get into discussions with people.

[00:43:27] Well, I heard that this magnesium is better. Oh yeah. I got that. Oh, but I heard this magnesium is better. Oh yeah. That's in my supplement too. You don't have to even think about it anymore. You could just take the brakes off and take magnesium. The last form in magnesium breakthrough is magnesium. Orotate.

[00:43:45] This is one that I'm not familiar with. To be honest with you.

[00:43:48] Wade Lightheart: [00:43:48] Yes, great ones. So this is resulted in a lot of different things. So a lot of athletes, um, you've probably heard about them, the endurance athletes or the strength athletes or the basketball players, all of a [00:44:00] sudden dropping dead on the court and taking some sort of heart attack.

[00:44:03] Well orotate is involved in a couple of interesting things. Uh, People that have premature heartbeats. So they start getting that fluttering heartbeat or imbalances in the regulation of their heartbeat. Oftentimes it's related to magnesium orotate. And this was one interesting enough that I learned from, uh, the strength sensei, which ironically, he ended up dying of a heart attack.

[00:44:27] But, uh, that was from a different reason that was a genetic defect that wasn't addressed, but he was very clear about how this is really good for the heart. The other thing is it's also involved in DNA and RNA precursors. So when you are looking to repair damaged tissue, and also that also includes the synthesis of glycogen and ATP, magnesium is a big part in of course, bodybuilders.

[00:44:57] Who would take diuretics would drop [00:45:00] magnesium levels and start having you heard of bodybuilders dying backstage or older bodybuilders, particularly I do believe that that they would taking diuretics and people who take diuretics. Like in the hospitals and things like that, you can really run into some big trouble,

[00:45:15] Carl Lanore: [00:45:15] especially, especially if their potassium sparing that's what happens to Samir by Newt at the backstage of, uh, I think it was, uh, one of the Olympia's in Europe and he died right there in the people's arms because his mineral is magnesium and calcium potassium and all that stuff got whacked out in his heart to stop.

[00:45:36] Wade Lightheart: [00:45:36] Exactly. And so orotate is really good. The other thing is it's, um, mrs. One of the reasons I got this, you know, I started giving this to my dad because when you have heart disease, it's been shown to improve the survival of heart tissue. If it's had, if you've had heart disease, this is a great. Yeah, for anybody that's had a heart attack or have had heart [00:46:00] complications in their families, you know, magnesium can make a really big difference.

[00:46:04] And orotate seems to be one of the leading ones in this one, particularly. Uh, and just to add one other thing. When we do these magnesiums we also add humic and fulvic acid monoatomic blend in order to improve it. We add B6 and we add mag manganese. We don't put any of the weirdness in it. There's no, no chemicals, no agents, no flow excipients that are not natural.

[00:46:28] None of that stuff goes into it. And for people who actually take advantage of the offer, If this isn't the best magnesium product, put it head to head against anything that you want. Put it up against whatever, if you don't feel. And I mean, you don't get a sematic effect from taking this magnesium, call us, email us, text us, send a carrier pigeon.

[00:46:50] We just give you all your money back. That's our policy in the company, we put the mission ahead of the margin. We do not chop corners and we take away all the risk. [00:47:00] So that people don't have anything to lose. And that's why I'm so grateful for being on the show with you, Carl. I mean, you're a legend in the field.

[00:47:07] You get the longest running. Everybody wants to be on your show. You're very cool, curated, and who gets on there. And the fact that we get to get on here and share with your audience and, you know, we would never disrespect what you do. That's why we give up. We say, Hey, if you're not blown away by this. No problem.

[00:47:23] Get your money back and go back to whatever magnesium you want it. But I think you're going to be very, very

[00:47:29] Carl Lanore: [00:47:29] nice. It's a, it's a superior product of magnesium is important to you and you believe that. You need more magnesium. This is the way to take it. It takes all the guesswork out. We're going to take our last commercial break.

[00:47:39] Stay tuned. We'll be right back with more super human radio. You are listening to the superhuman channel. Don't hate us because we feel good. That's right, baby. We feel good. I got it. I got to update those. A good friend of mine, who I haven't spoken to or communicated with since back in the off [00:48:00] topic days when I do off topic.

[00:48:02] On Dave Columbo's RX muscle website, Dave Paulson, Ella is watching. Great to see you hope you're doing well, Dave, so, uh, Chrissy's Fox also to you definitely going to give this magnesium a try. Everybody should give this magnesium to try those of you who aren't taking magnesium should be taking magnesium.

[00:48:20] Uh, there's a high probability that you are deficient in magnesium and just taking magnesium like this, because it has all the different forms in it. For just a month or two, you may notice things just go away. You may notice that you sleep better. Magnesium plays a large role in digestion. Some people who have gut issues, they feel like their food doesn't digest.

[00:48:42] Magnesium plays a role in that. Magnesium plays a role in, uh, uh, feeding, good microbes in the gut. Magnesium plays all sorts of roles. It's possibly one of the most versatile most important minerals in our diet. And the problem is. There's not a lot in our diet anymore. You ha this is [00:49:00] one of the things you really do have to supplement with.

[00:49:02] If you want to get adequate amounts, you think that's an overstatement. Wade,

[00:49:06] Wade Lightheart: [00:49:06] you know, this is coming right out and, you know, medical industry is not great on identifying nutritional deficiencies and the medical periodicals that are coming out. It says that 80%. Of the population in North America is deficient in magnesium.

[00:49:25] That's just for the RDA. That is the recommended daily announced to pre, to prevent serious disease. It's not even talking about optimal and that's what w you know, we addressed it for these 600 different functions that it's involved in. So we addressed it as a, as something for myself, and we use it as an enhancement product.

[00:49:46] I was deficient, but I went to the, kind of the super physiological dosages. But when you get 80% of the population deficient in this, and you see the, the widespread complications that come from magnesium deficiency, [00:50:00] it makes all the sense in the world to give it a shot. We removed all the resist, all the risks it's super easy.

[00:50:07] And I would suggest people start at a half gram. That's two capsules in the morning with meals in the afternoons and in the evenings. And watch what happens. And then if you, if you like it, if you, if you start to see us, start to dose up with one additional capsule in two of those sessions, so you go up to the next level and then eventually you add another cap, you know, each day, add another cap until you hit your tolerance dose.

[00:50:36] And you'll know when you get tolerance. Cause you'll get the runs. You taper back, you stay at that dose for 30, 60 days. You'll hit the runs again. If you, if you're not. If you're, if you're starting to top up your levels and then you can go back and I explain this all in my awesome health course. When you go to this, you can click on it.

[00:50:52] You'll get this too and go to the bucket theory of nutrition. And we talk about filling your lifestyle as a hole in the bucket. [00:51:00] Your total levels of full bucket is filling it up. Once you fill your bucket up, you only need to put in what you're exhausting and you can titrate that based on, you know, the stress in your life.

[00:51:09] So what we'd like to do is for people to take. You know, it takes for most people. It's about six months. That's how much we've noticed that at a dosage between two and three

[00:51:20] Carl Lanore: [00:51:20] years, especially if you're severely depleted already.

[00:51:24] Wade Lightheart: [00:51:24] Correct. And then that's when they usually feel they can go down. I'm down to.

[00:51:29] A one and a half to two grams a day when I traveled, I go up to three grams, but that's where, what, that's what works for me. I'm a hard training guy. Some people might find that one, you know, like one gram is good for them or whatever bottom line is. You'll kind of figure out your own dosage over time, but stay in the higher dosage for a period of time.

[00:51:46] You will not be disappointed.

[00:51:48] Carl Lanore: [00:51:48] I'm wondering, so now you're, you're an avid shooter now. I know you, you, you, you like, you've always been an avid shooter. You've hunted when you were a kid and all that sort of stuff. And so am I, and I'm [00:52:00] starting to realize, as I get older, I have a harder time steadying the rifle or the handgun for that matter.

[00:52:08] And I'm just as strong. I'm stronger than I was when I was young. But my ability to kind of steady things, I'm wondering if you think magnesium plays a role in relaxing the nervous system so that you can steady yourself better.

[00:52:21] Wade Lightheart: [00:52:21] I do believe that's true. And I'll give you a little sidetrack. Obviously we were talking before the show and I went out to some, um, weapons training, uh, just, you know, to exert my second amendment, right?

[00:52:30] Not that I would ever want to use them, but you know what the consequences of not being prepared with all the craziness that's going on. If someone busted into my house and wanted to kill me is, is, is too risky to work. So I went out to get some specialized training out in the Nevada desert and what was interesting.

[00:52:46] I didn't. I fasted the entire thing. The days in the middle of desert, I want to increase the stress that I want it to have on my body, but I have great magnesium levels. And out of my group of about 20 people. I had the most [00:53:00] accurate shooting of the entire group and I, and I had no problem, steadying, no problem.

[00:53:06] Steadying the gun in the, in the point I was. And I was actually kind of wondering, because I hadn't really shot a lot since, for a long time. Right. And I live in the city, I'm not in the country anymore. It's a lot different and I was rock solid. So I didn't have that. And I do feel, you know, my, in my family, my grandfather used to forget a little bit of shakes and tremors, and I think that.

[00:53:26] Deficiency over time. It's just like you get the jitters. Well, why are you getting the jitters? If you take too much caffeine, it's the same thing. You're, you're not able to just calm down the regulation of the nervous system. Why are you getting anxiety and depression? You're overstimulated. Yes. I believe that magnesium is one of those control items that really helps the central nervous system calm down and, and I've gotten thousands and thousands of people are sending us to alimony.

[00:53:53] I don't know what's going on with this, but I feel calmer. Yeah,

[00:53:57] Carl Lanore: [00:53:57] no, I agree. That's why I posed the question [00:54:00] because too much, our society today is too hard on the gas and not hard enough on the brake. And when you think about it, everybody's got a stimulant product of some sort. Well, here's the auntie at the antithesis of the stimulant product, right?

[00:54:14] This is going to help balance that. Um, Uh, well, you know, it helps to create more of a balance in the nervous system, as opposed to always being on the gas pedal. And I have to believe that that affects in a variety of performances. And, and as you, and I know shooting is one of those things, you know, you, you, you, you, when you really want to hit the bullseye, there's a lot of things we do.

[00:54:37] Like you, you, I take a couple deep breaths. And I don't fire until I've exhaled and I hold that exhale. And then I listened to my heartbeat and I literally try to pull the trigger in between beats, all those things actually translate to a steadier hand. And I'm thinking, man, I wonder if magnesium would help you be more steady and this competitive [00:55:00] shooters out there who could probably benefit from a product like magnesium breakthrough.

[00:55:05] Wade Lightheart: [00:55:05] I'd love to. That's a great, that's a great study. I'd like to get a study and man magnesium supplementation and accuracy in precision sports like archery and shooting guns and things like that, where you need a steady hand as well as also, it may be of impact to people who are surgeons and stuff, because a lot of surgeons that's, they start, as they get to a certain age, they get the shakes, that's it they're done.

[00:55:27] Or they get arthritis. One of those two things they're out. And I had a friend who was, uh, he's, uh, he put the first stent in the body and, you know, that's what he said, takes out all the surgeons. They, they get the shakes or they get arthritis and that's it. The career's over.

[00:55:42] Carl Lanore: [00:55:42] That's so sad, but yeah, who knows, it could just be magnesium that they need and they could, they could function longer.

[00:55:48] Again, SHR network.biz/mag breakthrough. You'll save up to 40% off using the. Code SHR 10. Uh, you need to check it out. If you do take magnesium, this is the form [00:56:00] you should take because it's all seven important forms. If you don't take magnesium, you should be taking magnesium. And this is what you should be taking.

[00:56:07] Do you want to stick around? Do you have time to stick around? Gotta be 15 minutes tops. If you don't know, big.

[00:56:13] Wade Lightheart: [00:56:13] I got to jump. I think I'm late for another play for, I really want, I got to catch the I'm going to catch it. You're going to love it.

[00:56:20] Carl Lanore: [00:56:20] You're going to love it. No, you didn't want to stay here on the edge.

[00:56:24] Hi. So look, it's a great having you here today. I always love spending time with you. Uh, hope that sometime in the future, we can actually sit down and break bread. Thank you for being a sponsor of the show show by optimizes the love they deserve. I'll talk to you soon. Okay.

[00:56:37] Wade Lightheart: [00:56:37] Always a pleasure. Carla, take care.

[00:56:38] Talk

[00:56:39] Carl Lanore: [00:56:39] to you later. I stay tuned when I come back. I'm going to give you a tip on what could be the greatest indicator of whether or not you are over-training and we're not stay tuned. We'll be right back. Welcome back. I'm going to make their short and sweet because the weekend starts. As soon as this show is over, it, it can't be soon enough for me.

[00:56:59] It's [00:57:00] been a hell of a week. I have to be honest with you. So. I've developed a new way of training and I'm actually going to hire for a guy to go to the gym with me and take pictures. And I'm going to write a little book about it. And I've got about 11 people whose opinions. I really trust that personal trainers and they're hard trainers.

[00:57:21] And what I've discovered with this style of training is it it's very demanding on the central nervous system you can get in and out of the gym and on the 40 minutes and. While it's there is volume to it. The stress on the muscles is much greater. And in fact, I think it's actually a safer way for older guys like me to train who had lots of injuries.

[00:57:44] It happened by accident. I've discovered this by accident and I'll get into that deeper, uh, when I start to reveal more about what I've learned about this style of training, but one thing is for sure. So I started out. Tradie. I've always loved to [00:58:00] train three days on and one day off, I'd rather train all four days on, but I feel like I need to have a break and I've always been able to train three days on one day off.

[00:58:08] No problem whatsoever. But since I've switched to this more demanding style of training, I noticed that right away, three days on one day off, wasn't going to work. I, I, I just didn't have the, the energy. I didn't, I wasn't recovered enough and I'm using some very advanced recovery peptides. If you haven't seen my Facebook post on my recovery stack, I'll give it to you real quick.

[00:58:32] It's two, I use of growth hormone. 500 micrograms of thymus and beta four or 500 micrograms of BPC, one 57, 500 micrograms of mechano growth factor, uh, 200 micrograms of CJC, which is just growth, hormone, releasing hormone. It doesn't have the DAC. It's not long acting 200 micrograms of GHR P six and 75. I use of oxytocin, which is a very, very high dose of oxytocin.

[00:58:58] People should never start out that [00:59:00] high. You start out. Maybe maybe, um, 25, uh, I use, because it literally gives you such a bad head rush. You feel like your head's going to explode your heart pounds, but then it goes away. And literally, I feel like I could train again later that evening. In fact, I trained back yesterday morning and I went back to the gym just to try it and see if it works.

[00:59:21] And I trained back a second time. I did all the same movements, all the same volume and I felt great. And. I'll talk more about this peptide stack later. Um, we're going to be doing a show with Betsy earth, hopefully next week to elaborate on why oxytocin is the heavy mover in this one. But even with that peptide stack, even being hormonally optimized on test I'm on the lowest dose of testosterone I've ever been on 250 milligrams a week.

[00:59:49] I still can't train as much as I want to with this new style. So I went from three days on one day off. To two days on [01:00:00] one day off to two days on two days off. And now I'm experimenting with one-on-one off and one on two off, and I can tell you that I am experiencing OIC over-training. So now I'm going to go through the common ones, the ones that we've always always talked about first, but then I'm going to tell you the one that really makes a difference in why.

[01:00:24] You're waking heart rate. If you wake up in the morning and your hottest pounding, you are over-trained, but not everybody experiences this and that still doesn't mean that they're not overtrained. Um, over-training is a combination of three factors. How hard you train, how many calories you take in and how well you sleep.

[01:00:46] And then of course we have to figure out life stress and four things. Let's say four things. And so. A good study was done just this year that showed unequivocally that over-training and there are [01:01:00] biological markers in blood of over-training are completely tied to not just how hard you train, but if you're not of getting enough calories all day in that day and days after.

[01:01:11] So we know that the more you eat, the less likely you are to be over-trained. But some of us can't eat all the time. Like we want to, we have to work. We have lives and jobs and everything else. But when you look at these four factors, sleep quality, uh, training, intensity diet, and then of course, life stresses.

[01:01:34] A lot of us can become overtrained but your waking heart rate might not show it. Uh, coach Dan, John came on my show probably 10, 12 years ago. And said the way he evaluates his athletes is he makes them pick a key on the keyboard, the letter T, and when they're completely rested, maybe they'd been off for a week.

[01:01:55] He has them tap as many as they many times they can for time for 30 seconds. [01:02:00] So let's say in 30 seconds they tap it 140 times. Let's just say for this example, then. They're going through their training and let's say they're a week into hard training. He makes them do it again. Maybe they only tap it 98 times.

[01:02:15] And he says, okay, it's time for you to back off because your peripheral and central nervous system is showing fatigue because you can't do it as many times, but there's lots of things that can affect that. Right. Not necessarily over-training so, but it's, it's a good way to, to, to, uh, to tell, uh, another sign of over-training.

[01:02:34] Yeah, we all agree on is when you're starting to train too hard too frequently, uh, your sleep will get jacked up. You just won't sleep well. You'll wake up in the middle of the night and this is another way, uh, that you can use to determine if you're over-training, but. This may actually be the best indicator of over-training and it's because it comes from evolution when you think about it.

[01:02:57] Right? So we know we've talked about on this [01:03:00] show numerous times, that from an evolutionary perspective, when you're under great threat, under great stress in women and men, Sexual function is impaired. Are loss of libido in women, the loss of menstruation, the L like, like female bodybuilders. When they go into the cutting phase, the last 16 weeks, whether they're preparing to get on the stage, then now they're training harder than they ever have before.

[01:03:31] And they're starving themselves. They lose their period. Why? Well, from an evolutionary perspective, your body doesn't know. That you have a goal to step on stage at 2% body fat, what your body thinks is, wow, we're in trouble. The environment is hostile. We apparently can't find enough food and we're working harder and harder and harder.

[01:03:51] This is not a good time to get pregnant. So women will actually stop having periods under, uh, when they are over-trained and that's [01:04:00] technically, over-training, they're training harder than eating less. You're probably sleeping like crap. And they stopped having their period. And that is because the body is designed to protect the species.

[01:04:11] We're part of a continuum of the species. We have one job, make babies and die. That's it? Everything else is negligible from a, from a, a species standpoint. So when a woman starts to lose a period or a period becomes irregular, she's in trouble. Now, men, it's not as overtly obvious, but men do lose their libido.

[01:04:35] So if you've noticed, man, I'm waking up in the morning and I'm not having morning erections anymore, what's going on or I'm waking up in the morning and the morning record erections just aren't as hard as they used to be, or for both men and women, your desire for sex just goes away. A healthy young example of our species.

[01:04:56] We want to have sex all the time. That's the God's honest truth. We all [01:05:00] know that we want to be refined. We want to be civil. We want to, but the reality is that the level of Beto and the desire to have sex is an indicated that from an evolutionary perspective, you are doing everything right. And if all of a sudden guys are waking up in the morning, because you know, they're not going to lose their period.

[01:05:20] And some women are training. They're post-menopausal, they're not having periods anymore. When you lose your desire for sex, I've sat on this show for a decade. That the first thing, when you're sick, when something's wrong with your body, the first thing, that's the big indicator that you're in trouble as you lose your libido, because if your body thinks, wow, we're jacked up, we can't have a baby right now.

[01:05:47] This is obviously premenopausal for women, but for men, we can father a child pretty much up until the day we die in most cases. So when you start to lose your libido, something is wrong. The first thing you should do [01:06:00] is look at your training. If you're a hard training athlete, if your health is important to you, you're not an Olympic athlete.

[01:06:05] You're not trying to win a gold medal health should be the most important thing to you. And. If you think about it from this standpoint, when you start to lose your libido, you are over-training take a day off, take four days off, take a week off, take time off until your libido comes back. I'm telling you this is magic.

[01:06:27] I just experienced it. I literally lost my libido for about a week. I just couldn't understand it. It's so atypical of me because I've been a little horn dog since a little boy. And I'm like, what's going on? Then I realized this new style of training is very taxing to me. I'm 62 years old, granted I'm, you know, using chemicals and drugs and peptides, but I'm still 62 years old.

[01:06:52] I still have loose parts and broken muscles and stuff like that. I took four days off and [01:07:00] bam, my libido came back so strong. It was like, okay, now I get it. And I thought it was worth talking about this because. We're also driven in this audience. I know we are there. Isn't a person in this audience that isn't more driven than 99% of the population.

[01:07:15] And I know that pay attention to your libido, pay attention to your desire for sex, pay attention to your ability to perform. It's not always because you need Viagra guys. Sometimes you need to see what is stressing your body. That's creating this over-trained sensation. Where your body thinks, wow, this guy is jacked up.

[01:07:40] He's not eating enough. All he does is work. He's not sleeping. Well, the last thing he needs is a baby to raise. And that's exactly how the body treats it. The body is protective. It says you can't raise a child, so you can't make a child. We're shutting that stuff off on you. So pay attention to your level of desire for sex [01:08:00] and your libido.

[01:08:02] And for women who are still menstruating, if your periods become. Less frequent or they start, you know, happening with less consistent timing. Think about taking some time off Chrissy's Fox has posted, they stop ovulating, nutrients or resources, go to life critical processes, the brain, the heart, the body won't allow pregnancy or waste blood.

[01:08:24] It's brilliant. It's exactly what's happening and we're not paying attention to it. That could be the single best indicator that you are. Over-trained. That you lose in women who are still menstruating, the menstrual cycle gets all jacked up or they lose menstruation entirely for both speech of the species, men and women.

[01:08:47] You lose your desire for sex. You lose your, your libido men. You start to lose the quality of your erection when these things start happening. Reflect on where you are, how hard you're training are you [01:09:00] eating enough? Are your goals unrealistic? Is it just look I'm never going to be? I, the lowest I ever got was 9% body fat.

[01:09:07] I'm never going to be there again. I'm not willing to put my body through that. So look at your life. Look at your goals. Look at the things you're doing and err, on the side of health over Instagram model looks. If you start losing your libido. Pay attention to what your body is trying to tell you, it's trying to get your attention.

[01:09:31] So I think that that's a very, very important discussion, especially for those of us who train hard and ignore all the signs because our goals are much more important. I want to leave you with that for the weekend. We have great shows planned all next week. Thank you for being here. Live, uh, to watch the show.
