1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,680 Well, hello ladies and gents, Robert Sykes, Kyo savage.com. 2 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:08,080 Today for the podcast, I figured I would put my audio of my 2023 3 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,320 Keto Con presentation here for y'all to listen to. 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,600 This presentation was all about turning a passion into a 5 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,720 lifestyle. So it's pretty much just the 6 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,840 audio format of my presentation that I hope y'all take something 7 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,560 of value from. I got a little emotional with 8 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,000 this presentation. This was not designed to just be 9 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,360 about macro nutrients or body composition changes. 10 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,310 I was talking about the pillars of my life that I find to be 11 00:00:32,310 --> 00:00:35,710 significant. I talked about parenting some 12 00:00:35,710 --> 00:00:39,830 families, some spirituality, just some some life stuff and 13 00:00:39,830 --> 00:00:43,870 turning a passion into a lifestyle as I have with the 14 00:00:43,870 --> 00:00:46,990 ketogenic diets and all that I've pursued through this 15 00:00:46,990 --> 00:00:49,550 endeavor. So thoroughly enjoyed and 16 00:00:49,550 --> 00:00:53,310 appreciate the opportunity and honor to speak on the Keto Con 17 00:00:53,310 --> 00:00:56,110 Rank Mainstage and I hope that you take something from this 18 00:00:56,110 --> 00:01:01,830 presentation so that further ado sit back, relax, enjoy my 2023 19 00:01:02,030 --> 00:01:07,750 Keto Con presentation. I am so honored to introduce to 20 00:01:07,750 --> 00:01:10,910 you Robert Sykes. Thank you. 21 00:01:11,710 --> 00:01:13,910 Little bit about me. I'm a lifetime natural 22 00:01:13,910 --> 00:01:15,750 competitive bodybuilder. I'm a nutrition coach. 23 00:01:15,750 --> 00:01:17,390 I'm a podcast. I'm an entrepreneur. 24 00:01:17,390 --> 00:01:21,190 We've got Keto Brick Live, Savage Apparel, Keto Savage, all 25 00:01:21,310 --> 00:01:24,630 different types of business. I'm a husband, I'm a father and 26 00:01:24,630 --> 00:01:28,750 I'm a lover of life since the the topic idea of turning a 27 00:01:28,750 --> 00:01:33,590 passion into a lifestyle here. So I'm going to actually talk, 28 00:01:34,470 --> 00:01:37,750 start this conversation with regenerative agriculture. 29 00:01:37,750 --> 00:01:39,510 So I wasn't going to make any slides. 30 00:01:39,750 --> 00:01:43,110 And then I had Will Harris. Who is the founder, CEO and 31 00:01:43,110 --> 00:01:47,150 brains behind white oak pastures on my podcast a few few weeks 32 00:01:47,150 --> 00:01:50,750 back And that hadn't gone live yet, but I was talking to him 33 00:01:51,030 --> 00:01:53,270 and y'all probably off me with white oak pastures. 34 00:01:53,270 --> 00:01:55,030 They're kind of leading the charge on regenerative 35 00:01:55,030 --> 00:01:58,550 agriculture. And I was interviewing him and 36 00:01:58,550 --> 00:02:01,310 like three times during the interview his great 37 00:02:01,750 --> 00:02:04,790 granddaughter or granddaughter came into the frame with like a 38 00:02:04,790 --> 00:02:08,590 new hand drawn image that she gave him and said I love my 39 00:02:08,590 --> 00:02:10,669 grandpa or something like that. That's so sweet. 40 00:02:11,470 --> 00:02:15,110 And he was telling me about his form and how it's come to be. 41 00:02:15,110 --> 00:02:17,990 He's a fourth generation cattle farmer and how they've changed 42 00:02:17,990 --> 00:02:20,830 things that went from the commodity industrialized beef 43 00:02:20,830 --> 00:02:23,390 protocol to more of the regenerative agriculture model. 44 00:02:23,670 --> 00:02:26,150 And he was telling me these three are the these three 45 00:02:26,150 --> 00:02:29,190 pillars are what is important with regenerative agriculture. 46 00:02:29,270 --> 00:02:32,070 Allow animals the right to express their instinct, 47 00:02:32,390 --> 00:02:37,070 behavior, restart, the cycle of nature to produce abundance like 48 00:02:37,070 --> 00:02:39,590 the water cycle, the microbial cycle, all those different 49 00:02:39,590 --> 00:02:42,010 cycles. And then re enrich rural and 50 00:02:42,010 --> 00:02:45,010 local communities. So their little town in Georgia 51 00:02:45,290 --> 00:02:48,530 is like not a very big town. It's a small country rural town 52 00:02:48,530 --> 00:02:51,090 and it's all employing the people that work there and 53 00:02:51,090 --> 00:02:54,170 they're pouring into this community and I'm like that is 54 00:02:54,170 --> 00:02:57,330 pretty pretty good. I can get behind that notion of 55 00:02:57,330 --> 00:03:01,810 like this being a circular cycle in life in which everything 56 00:03:01,810 --> 00:03:04,770 benefits the next generation and it just becoming. 57 00:03:05,420 --> 00:03:07,820 This thing that keeps growing and like seeing his 58 00:03:07,820 --> 00:03:10,420 granddaughter there, drawing him pictures, like she's going to 59 00:03:10,420 --> 00:03:13,140 hopefully be the next air of that cattle farm at some point 60 00:03:13,380 --> 00:03:15,860 and just keeps getting better and better through generation to 61 00:03:15,860 --> 00:03:19,060 generation. And I was contrasting that with 62 00:03:19,140 --> 00:03:23,180 the, you know, this is a picture of the traditional commodity 63 00:03:23,180 --> 00:03:26,380 beef system which is not near as enriching. 64 00:03:26,380 --> 00:03:28,780 Like it's very much so a commodity system. 65 00:03:28,780 --> 00:03:32,700 You've got, you know, cows that are bred, slaughtered, they go 66 00:03:32,700 --> 00:03:34,660 through the system. It's not. 67 00:03:35,220 --> 00:03:38,380 Turning any notion towards the welfare of the animals, there's 68 00:03:38,380 --> 00:03:42,020 just no thought to the longevity of it, you know, pouring into 69 00:03:42,020 --> 00:03:46,940 something for the long haul. And I was thinking like this 70 00:03:46,940 --> 00:03:50,100 probably what a cow with his model looks like versus that of 71 00:03:50,100 --> 00:03:52,180 the traditional commodity beef system. 72 00:03:52,420 --> 00:03:57,380 You know, obviously one kind of evokes more emotion of happiness 73 00:03:57,380 --> 00:04:01,450 than the other. So clearly that industrialized 74 00:04:01,450 --> 00:04:04,050 system isn't really optimal. Like, which of those cows would 75 00:04:04,050 --> 00:04:05,410 you rather be if you were to be a cow? 76 00:04:05,410 --> 00:04:07,290 The one on the left. The one on the right. 77 00:04:07,650 --> 00:04:10,570 And I'm like, surely us humans can recognize that one is 78 00:04:10,570 --> 00:04:14,050 superior over the other. We don't want to do things of 79 00:04:14,050 --> 00:04:16,930 that nature because that's just not optimal. 80 00:04:17,329 --> 00:04:20,329 And I got to thinking, well, what looks like that commodity 81 00:04:20,329 --> 00:04:25,410 beef system outside of the realm of, you know, agriculture and 82 00:04:25,410 --> 00:04:27,970 farming? And then it hit me, you know. 83 00:04:28,730 --> 00:04:31,930 We kind of bring that on to our own self with what we do, how 84 00:04:31,930 --> 00:04:35,650 our systems are in place. You got people staring at their 85 00:04:35,650 --> 00:04:37,690 phones nonstop. How many y'all look on your 86 00:04:37,690 --> 00:04:40,930 phones right now? I'm looking, you know, I see on 87 00:04:40,930 --> 00:04:42,850 your phone, you got your camera chip, not your phone. 88 00:04:42,850 --> 00:04:45,370 That's okay. And people are just there. 89 00:04:45,370 --> 00:04:47,370 They're not involved. They're not engaged. 90 00:04:47,370 --> 00:04:48,970 They're not present with their kids. 91 00:04:48,970 --> 00:04:52,050 They're not present with their their, their, their family. 92 00:04:52,410 --> 00:04:55,610 And it's like that's not any different than these cows. 93 00:04:55,610 --> 00:04:57,490 They're just being led to slaughter through this 94 00:04:57,490 --> 00:05:00,850 systematized approach that is far, far from optimal. 95 00:05:02,010 --> 00:05:05,850 And I got to thinking, you know, if we're so passionate about 96 00:05:05,850 --> 00:05:08,370 pursuing this regenerative agriculture because of all the 97 00:05:08,370 --> 00:05:11,770 value that that brings for these animals, better quality 98 00:05:11,770 --> 00:05:15,490 nutrition, better, better environments for their 99 00:05:15,490 --> 00:05:19,290 livelihood, better impact on the environment itself, you know, 100 00:05:19,290 --> 00:05:21,330 like there's going to be less, less runoff. 101 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,920 Less fertilizer, less negative impact. 102 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,720 Why are we doing all these things in a similar notion in 103 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,720 our own lives? And this graphic here evokes in 104 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:36,640 my mind that commodity system taking place in our own, in our 105 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,840 own realms as a species. You know, like we're born, We go 106 00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:44,880 through all this systematized, commoditized protocol that is is 107 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,680 taking far more away than it is adding value to. 108 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,480 And then you die like you're born. 109 00:05:50,930 --> 00:05:53,290 You grow up, You go to school, you go to college, you get a 110 00:05:53,290 --> 00:05:56,210 degree, you go find a career path. 111 00:05:56,210 --> 00:05:58,530 You stay there, you work the system, you save up for 112 00:05:58,530 --> 00:06:02,050 retirement, Then you retire and then you die. 113 00:06:02,170 --> 00:06:06,330 You know that that to me sounds a lot more like the cow that was 114 00:06:06,330 --> 00:06:09,490 just going from the feed lot position than the one roaming 115 00:06:09,490 --> 00:06:14,210 the pastures and eating grass. And I realized that in life and 116 00:06:14,210 --> 00:06:16,370 y'all probably have this. In your own life, you know, 117 00:06:16,370 --> 00:06:18,730 people that have this, it seems like everybody are struggling 118 00:06:18,730 --> 00:06:20,130 with three main things, their health. 119 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,920 Their relationships and their finances. 120 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,840 Like, very few people I know have all three of those things 121 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,200 dialed in. Like normally you'll see people 122 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,200 that are making tons of money, but they're way overweight and 123 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,280 they've sacrificed their health, they've got diabetes and all 124 00:06:34,280 --> 00:06:35,800 their family and friends have left them. 125 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,280 Or you've got people that are just salt to the earth, have 126 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,760 like great relationships, but they're living on a shoestring 127 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,240 budget and they haven't got that aspect dial them. 128 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,040 Or you've got people that are incredibly healthy, you know, 129 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,200 like the pinnacle of health. But. 130 00:06:49,710 --> 00:06:51,550 You know, one of those other two things is not in check. 131 00:06:51,550 --> 00:06:55,310 So very few people seem to have all three of these components 132 00:06:55,670 --> 00:06:58,470 dialed in well. But life tells you that. 133 00:06:58,470 --> 00:07:03,030 Commodity system tells you, hey, look, you just got to balance it 134 00:07:03,030 --> 00:07:04,110 all. You got to balance those 135 00:07:04,110 --> 00:07:06,030 components of life. That's just what you're going to 136 00:07:06,030 --> 00:07:08,510 have to do. But I believe balance is 137 00:07:08,510 --> 00:07:11,290 bullshit, you know? And I'm going to put that on a 138 00:07:11,290 --> 00:07:12,930 tshirt. So, like, plan on that. 139 00:07:13,370 --> 00:07:15,410 But I don't think it. I don't think it works. 140 00:07:15,410 --> 00:07:17,530 Like it just doesn't work. People are always talking about 141 00:07:17,690 --> 00:07:20,890 balance, and I just don't think that is the model that we should 142 00:07:20,890 --> 00:07:22,850 strive for. It's proven time and time again. 143 00:07:22,850 --> 00:07:26,170 I mean, how many of y'all know a person that has all three of 144 00:07:26,170 --> 00:07:27,850 those things dialed in perfectly? 145 00:07:28,010 --> 00:07:32,210 I'd be one to bet that more of y'all know those that don't than 146 00:07:32,210 --> 00:07:33,810 any of y'all that know those that do. 147 00:07:34,170 --> 00:07:38,460 So it doesn't work as a system. And I introduced this topic last 148 00:07:38,460 --> 00:07:40,620 year with my talk. It's called tensegrity. 149 00:07:40,620 --> 00:07:44,620 So tensional integrity, basically the definition being a 150 00:07:44,620 --> 00:07:47,700 structural principle based on a system of components under 151 00:07:47,700 --> 00:07:51,620 compression inside a network of continuous tension. 152 00:07:51,620 --> 00:07:56,420 OK, so it's not so much a concept of balance as it is. 153 00:07:56,420 --> 00:07:59,780 All these things are under immense pressure and they flex. 154 00:07:59,780 --> 00:08:04,660 They work in unison to create a more rigid sound structure, but 155 00:08:04,660 --> 00:08:06,660 it's all because of that tension. 156 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,200 And I'm like, okay, that makes sense. 157 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,120 Let me kind of define and describe and build my life out 158 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,520 with this notion of tensegrity as opposed to bounce. 159 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,720 And then this used to be a really cool interactive graph, 160 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:25,480 but when I exported it, it changed it into this. 161 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,640 And what this basically shows is you've got 5 main pillars. 162 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,080 You've got relationships, health, wealth, self development 163 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,120 and spirituality. And they flux throughout time. 164 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,280 Like each of those could be five years, for instance. 165 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,760 And sometimes they're higher, sometimes they're lower. 166 00:08:40,919 --> 00:08:44,120 They're not a balancing act amongst all of those components 167 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,720 in which you're trying to keep everything even keeled and 168 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,600 perfectly in balancing in unison. 169 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,000 And the reason I think this model makes more sense is 170 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,960 because when you look at your own life. 171 00:08:54,500 --> 00:08:57,700 You can probably figure out where your time is spent, where 172 00:08:57,700 --> 00:09:01,220 your resources are allocated, and those those five pillars 173 00:09:01,220 --> 00:09:04,580 probably consume the majority of your time and efforts. 174 00:09:04,580 --> 00:09:06,700 You know, your your relationships, all that good 175 00:09:06,700 --> 00:09:08,460 stuff. So I'm thinking, all right, I'm 176 00:09:08,460 --> 00:09:10,980 gonna talk a little bit about my life here, but as I go through 177 00:09:10,980 --> 00:09:14,420 this, I don't want y'all to just have me up here talking about my 178 00:09:14,420 --> 00:09:16,780 own life. Like I want y'all to dissect to 179 00:09:16,780 --> 00:09:19,740 your own life and figure out how this could be applicable to you, 180 00:09:20,060 --> 00:09:22,580 because it is absolutely applicable to us all. 181 00:09:22,860 --> 00:09:27,160 So I've got some pictures here. You know, I've got my son Rigel, 182 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,880 my wife Crystal, my family, and then Keto Con here. 183 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,840 I don't know what year that was, 2020 something, I guess, Or 184 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,920 2019, I don't know. Danny didn't make it this year. 185 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,960 So I thought, well, I'm going to pay homage to my bro Danny. 186 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,760 I'm gonna put him on there. He's kind of out angling me in 187 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,680 that picture. Like, his arms look bigger in 188 00:09:44,680 --> 00:09:47,640 that picture, but they're not really bigger than mine. 189 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,600 All right, So keep that in mind. Let him know I said that too. 190 00:09:51,310 --> 00:09:54,590 But yeah, like the relationships component is so important. 191 00:09:54,590 --> 00:09:55,710 And we all hear this all the time. 192 00:09:55,710 --> 00:09:57,950 Like when you're on your deathbed, no one's gonna care 193 00:09:57,950 --> 00:10:00,430 how much money you got in the bank or what's your, you know, 194 00:10:00,790 --> 00:10:02,710 what's in your front yard, what's in your garage. 195 00:10:02,710 --> 00:10:04,030 They care about the relationships. 196 00:10:04,030 --> 00:10:06,590 When you're dying, you want, you want the people that you love to 197 00:10:06,590 --> 00:10:09,390 be close to you. So I put a lot of emphasis on 198 00:10:09,390 --> 00:10:12,190 the relationship aspect and I think, you know, that goes 199 00:10:12,190 --> 00:10:15,790 beyond just family and friends, but like these conferences, 200 00:10:15,790 --> 00:10:18,610 these communities. Like so much of what is 201 00:10:18,610 --> 00:10:22,650 enriched, my life has been born out of Keto Con specifically. 202 00:10:22,930 --> 00:10:25,850 Like they invited me to come speak at Keto Con 2017 when they 203 00:10:25,850 --> 00:10:29,450 first launched Keto Con after I'd gone pro with bodybuilding. 204 00:10:29,690 --> 00:10:33,010 And like that was the first moment in my life when I felt 205 00:10:33,010 --> 00:10:35,570 like I was truly doing what I was set out to do. 206 00:10:35,570 --> 00:10:38,530 Like I was interacting with people, talking about nutrition. 207 00:10:38,730 --> 00:10:39,970 They've come to me with questions. 208 00:10:39,970 --> 00:10:42,370 I was able to offer value like y'all. 209 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,480 Pour into me and ways y'all don't even realize and you 210 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,000 enrich my life in ways you can't even begin to fathom. 211 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,920 So for that, I owe you all my everything. 212 00:10:51,560 --> 00:10:54,520 But apart from the relationships, we got health. 213 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,280 OK, so this is what I normally talk about in these conferences. 214 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:02,480 We talk about macros, micros, body composition, and I have 215 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,960 periods of my life where, you know, if we're looking at this 216 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,000 five pillar tinsegrity model, there are times when my health 217 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,160 gets a lot more of my time and resources. 218 00:11:11,560 --> 00:11:13,480 And like, right now, I'm in a competition prep. 219 00:11:13,560 --> 00:11:16,120 I started to prep 3 weeks ago. I'm going to be in prep for the 220 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,240 next 25 to 30 weeks. I'm eating out of a Tupperware. 221 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:21,680 Everybody's eating BBQ right now. 222 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:23,960 I'm eating out of a Tupperware. All right. 223 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,000 Don't feel sorry for me, though. I this is, I brought this on 224 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,600 myself. But there are times in my life 225 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,160 where I doubled down on that aspect of my life. 226 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,840 I go to the freaking extreme when I'm in a prep. 227 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,800 Like, I don't sleep as much. I eat less and less. 228 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,680 I train more and more. I add cardio in like. 229 00:11:41,050 --> 00:11:45,050 The degree that I take things with competition prep is not 230 00:11:45,050 --> 00:11:48,210 sustainable and it's not sustainable for optimal health. 231 00:11:48,530 --> 00:11:53,010 But the fulfillment that I get when I go all in on that 232 00:11:53,010 --> 00:11:56,690 component of my bodybuilding endeavors provides so much value 233 00:11:56,690 --> 00:12:00,490 that, you know, excels past the competition day itself. 234 00:12:00,730 --> 00:12:04,850 So all the fulfillment that I get comes from making that a 235 00:12:04,850 --> 00:12:08,730 primary focus as opposed to trying to balance it all out in 236 00:12:08,730 --> 00:12:11,240 unison I think. That could likely be the case 237 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,880 for all of y'all. So maybe you have a health goal 238 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,040 that you're wanting to do. You want to lose somebody fats? 239 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,560 You want to build some muscle. Maybe some of these other areas 240 00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:21,760 of your life need to take a back burner so that you can focus on 241 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,120 those things and get there. Because once you've once you've 242 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,310 gotten there. You don't ever really get there 243 00:12:27,310 --> 00:12:28,830 so that there is no such thing as maintenance. 244 00:12:28,830 --> 00:12:30,910 You're either getting better or you're getting worse in life. 245 00:12:30,910 --> 00:12:33,950 But once you've reached that threshold, that tier, it's 246 00:12:33,990 --> 00:12:38,230 easier to maintain that tier while then bringing other 247 00:12:38,230 --> 00:12:41,870 components of your life back in and you know, adding those back 248 00:12:41,870 --> 00:12:43,550 into a higher degree of significance. 249 00:12:43,630 --> 00:12:46,990 But for me right now, a competition prep, I'm really 250 00:12:47,030 --> 00:12:50,910 upping the demand that I'm placing on that pillar in my 251 00:12:50,910 --> 00:12:53,550 life. And that could be the case for 252 00:12:53,550 --> 00:12:55,710 all of y'all, depending on which pillar we're looking at. 253 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:58,840 Also, when it comes to sustainability, I'm just going 254 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,200 to pick a put a little blurb in here about cycling through 255 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,720 competition, prep endeavors, fat loss phases, building phases. 256 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,160 Reverse dieting is something I've talked about quite a bit, 257 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,040 but it doesn't really get a lot of air time because people don't 258 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,400 like to talk about reverse dieting, but people that are 259 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,440 here at a conference like this are often times trying to lose 260 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,240 body fat. And for that reason, they're 261 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,640 oftentimes cutting calories, cutting out carbs, doing 262 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,000 carnivore, doing keto, and they eat less and less and less with 263 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,640 the intention of losing body fan. 264 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,000 The problem I see happening is more often than not these people 265 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,200 fail to reverse diets and increase that intake back up. 266 00:13:35,560 --> 00:13:37,680 There is a yin Yang approach here. 267 00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:40,200 You can't spend indefinite amount of time in a cutting 268 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,550 phase. With lower and lower calories, 269 00:13:42,750 --> 00:13:46,310 just as you wouldn't opt operate optimally if you're continually 270 00:13:46,310 --> 00:13:50,070 eating too much, so there needs to be a cyclical nature in that 271 00:13:50,070 --> 00:13:52,950 to spend time in a cutting phase to optimize fat loss. 272 00:13:53,110 --> 00:13:56,670 Spend time in a building phase to optimize muscle building and 273 00:13:56,670 --> 00:14:00,150 doing so up regulate your metabolic rates, your hormonal 274 00:14:00,150 --> 00:14:02,870 health and all that will make the next time you transition 275 00:14:02,870 --> 00:14:04,750 into a cut all the more effective. 276 00:14:04,750 --> 00:14:08,110 So you need to have a yin Yang approach here to. 277 00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:11,480 Your body composition goals have some time in surplus, some time 278 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,360 in a deficit, And then when it comes to balancing things out 279 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,360 with nutrition, like I'm, I'm strict keto, I've been keto, you 280 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:19,960 know, without deviation for eight years. 281 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,880 So, like, you can certainly maintain that degree of 282 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,840 consistency and strictness, but that doesn't mean you have to 283 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,160 track everything to the T throughout that entire time, 284 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,680 like when I'm gonna prep like I am right now. 285 00:14:30,140 --> 00:14:32,140 I'm eating out of the temple where I'm tracking everything to 286 00:14:32,140 --> 00:14:34,420 the gram. I've got everything dialed in to 287 00:14:34,420 --> 00:14:36,540 the nth degree. When I'm in a building phase, 288 00:14:36,540 --> 00:14:38,860 I'm just simply making sure I'm eating at a surplus and eating 289 00:14:38,860 --> 00:14:41,020 enough protein and training hard. 290 00:14:41,220 --> 00:14:44,100 If you check those boxes, you're able to make the process more 291 00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:47,140 sustainable and still see continue to forward progress. 292 00:14:47,660 --> 00:14:49,300 So let's talk about wealth. All right. 293 00:14:49,300 --> 00:14:51,220 This is what a lot of people struggle with. 294 00:14:51,220 --> 00:14:52,820 I'm still struggling with it. All right. 295 00:14:52,820 --> 00:14:57,190 So I started the business. Way back in 2016, I quit 296 00:14:57,190 --> 00:14:59,430 Corporate America. I was working after I graduated 297 00:14:59,430 --> 00:15:01,510 college and followed that commodity system. 298 00:15:01,790 --> 00:15:06,670 I went and worked as a train master on the railroad and went 299 00:15:06,670 --> 00:15:09,990 to Corporate America and was making a lot of money for some 300 00:15:09,990 --> 00:15:12,750 of my age at the time. But it wasn't fulfilling to me. 301 00:15:12,750 --> 00:15:15,830 I wasn't passionate about it. I wasn't changing lives like I 302 00:15:15,830 --> 00:15:17,990 am now. I was just going in punch the 303 00:15:17,990 --> 00:15:21,240 clock check in the box. And then I quit all of that, 304 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,840 went into $250,000 in credit card debt and other forms of 305 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,480 debt and realized that probably wasn't sustainable or optimal 306 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,800 either. So I started making businesses. 307 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,400 Businesses that I felt I could tie in my passions to actually 308 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,160 make a difference in life. Hence the Keto brick, the Keto 309 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,720 Savage, the apparel like all these different realms of my 310 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,240 life for things that I feel like I can add value. 311 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,480 And all of y'all have this in your own realm as well. 312 00:15:47,300 --> 00:15:49,180 And there's times in my life where I have to really push the 313 00:15:49,180 --> 00:15:51,540 needle here and other things suffer. 314 00:15:51,780 --> 00:15:55,060 When we were starting out, I could, I can give you all some 315 00:15:55,060 --> 00:15:56,260 horror stories when we were starting out. 316 00:15:56,500 --> 00:16:00,420 I mean, Crystal and I lived in a warehouse for three years while 317 00:16:00,420 --> 00:16:02,260 we were building the keto brick business. 318 00:16:02,540 --> 00:16:04,900 Like if you look at that 10 segrity model, that's putting a 319 00:16:04,900 --> 00:16:08,330 lot of tension. In the wealth department there, 320 00:16:08,330 --> 00:16:11,010 because I was doing things that aren't really sustainable or 321 00:16:11,010 --> 00:16:14,250 certainly not optimum, but I needed to do those things to get 322 00:16:14,250 --> 00:16:17,650 to the next level and make forward momentum, forward 323 00:16:17,650 --> 00:16:19,370 progress. And because of that, other 324 00:16:19,370 --> 00:16:21,930 things had to take aback from. But because I did that and I 325 00:16:21,930 --> 00:16:24,970 wasn't trying to balance everything in unison, I was able 326 00:16:24,970 --> 00:16:28,690 to actually gain that momentum. And I still don't figure this, 327 00:16:28,690 --> 00:16:31,010 that y'all. I'm trying to get things dialed 328 00:16:31,010 --> 00:16:33,170 in and get things better, improve efficiencies, and it's 329 00:16:33,170 --> 00:16:35,390 never. Over there is no finish line 330 00:16:35,390 --> 00:16:38,030 with anything in life. You just keep getting better and 331 00:16:38,030 --> 00:16:40,550 better and better and hopefully keep making a bigger, bigger 332 00:16:40,550 --> 00:16:43,470 impact. All right now, self development. 333 00:16:43,910 --> 00:16:46,350 This is something that I probably suffer with the most. 334 00:16:46,430 --> 00:16:50,030 So this is everything that falls into your interests outside of 335 00:16:50,030 --> 00:16:53,190 those other pillars. And for me, I love hunting. 336 00:16:53,190 --> 00:16:56,870 I love procuring my own venison, my own meat. 337 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:01,000 And knowing that I harvested it, I processed it, I eat it like I 338 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,319 just like that whole life cycle process when it comes to, you 339 00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:08,160 know, giving my body nutrition. And I love hunting, but that's 340 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:13,000 the thing that often times takes the most push back on that the 341 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,800 most when everything else is in a stressed state because I just 342 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,599 don't have the time to do it. But I love it. 343 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,240 Same thing with, like woodworking. 344 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:20,760 I love woodworking Crystal's being. 345 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,280 Hollering at me to get a garden started for a long time now I 346 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,880 keep pushing that back to the back burner but I said OK I'm 347 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,480 going to make a planter box. So I built that beautiful cedar 348 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,840 planter box and as I was making it I'm like alright so I'm 349 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:38,000 pretty much a carnivore diet guy and I ate keto bricks and meat 350 00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:40,640 and here I am making a planter box that's going to grow 351 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,840 vegetables. So I haven't figured that one 352 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,920 out yet, but at least the box looks good. 353 00:17:46,620 --> 00:17:48,820 I also love sailing. So my whole family got into 354 00:17:48,820 --> 00:17:52,020 sailing several years back. They bought that little boat. 355 00:17:52,060 --> 00:17:53,460 My brother and I bought that from them. 356 00:17:53,460 --> 00:17:54,580 My folks bought that little boat. 357 00:17:54,700 --> 00:17:56,980 We brought it from them. And then my brother and I 358 00:17:56,980 --> 00:17:59,140 learned to sail. My parents still sail. 359 00:17:59,140 --> 00:18:02,460 My parents are actually. They retired last year and 360 00:18:02,460 --> 00:18:04,860 they're going to sail around the entire world. 361 00:18:06,170 --> 00:18:08,930 Next year or later this year, starting starting this year, To 362 00:18:08,930 --> 00:18:11,650 me that's awesome. Like that's them doubling down 363 00:18:11,810 --> 00:18:13,970 on this self development component of their life, 364 00:18:13,970 --> 00:18:15,810 something they're passionate about, something they want to do 365 00:18:15,810 --> 00:18:18,370 to see the world and I value them. 366 00:18:18,490 --> 00:18:22,570 I feel like we all have those things in our life that are not 367 00:18:22,570 --> 00:18:24,580 really. Our relationship necessarily. 368 00:18:24,580 --> 00:18:25,980 They're not really our career path. 369 00:18:25,980 --> 00:18:28,660 They're not really our health oriented thing but they are the 370 00:18:28,660 --> 00:18:31,300 things that we love to do. And I think it's in healthy and 371 00:18:31,300 --> 00:18:32,940 important to make time for those. 372 00:18:33,300 --> 00:18:36,380 But again for me that often times take the lowest priority, 373 00:18:36,620 --> 00:18:39,100 you know level and now spirituality. 374 00:18:39,100 --> 00:18:42,020 I don't want to stand up here and preach to y'all because this 375 00:18:42,020 --> 00:18:44,300 is the one I definitely have not figured out yet. 376 00:18:44,700 --> 00:18:48,940 Truth be told I grew up my my dad's an evolutionary biologist. 377 00:18:48,940 --> 00:18:51,120 All right, so. When many people grew up 378 00:18:51,120 --> 00:18:53,720 learning about Noah's Ark, I grew up learning about how 379 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,720 whales evolved and have a little bitty toes and how they came 380 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,720 from walking on the ground. So like mine was a little bit 381 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,000 different and I haven't figured that all out yet because I'm a 382 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,960 very analytical type person. I like diving into the research, 383 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,200 like diving into the studies and a lot of stuff. 384 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,800 All, I mean all this stuff happened long before our time. 385 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,840 So there's not really any empirical scientific test that 386 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,640 you can do via the scientific method to really hone things in 387 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,710 and when you look at. The carnivore diet and our 388 00:19:21,710 --> 00:19:25,590 prehistoric beings and how we evolved from eating primarily, 389 00:19:25,750 --> 00:19:27,910 you know, woolly mammoths and whatnot like that all makes a 390 00:19:27,910 --> 00:19:30,310 lot of sense to me. But that kind of conflicts with 391 00:19:30,310 --> 00:19:32,950 some of the stuff that I've read about in different spiritual 392 00:19:32,950 --> 00:19:35,190 circles. So I have not figured this out 393 00:19:35,190 --> 00:19:39,630 yet. But what I do know is that from 394 00:19:39,630 --> 00:19:42,510 an evolutionary perspective that I can see how that explains a 395 00:19:42,510 --> 00:19:48,470 lot, but it doesn't really explain love and when I had my 396 00:19:48,470 --> 00:19:52,840 son. 11 months ago that was a whole another story. 397 00:19:53,360 --> 00:19:56,520 So Crystal and I are very passionate about the ketogenic 398 00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:01,760 diet and lifestyle and she read. We read Deep Nutrition by Kate 399 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,240 Shanahan. Definitely recommend that book, 400 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,640 but it was all about how you have an epigenetic effect to 401 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,220 your. Your, your kids. 402 00:20:08,220 --> 00:20:10,140 Their kids, Basically 3 generations on the line. 403 00:20:10,140 --> 00:20:12,580 So we read that book and several other books, had several guests 404 00:20:12,580 --> 00:20:14,220 on the podcast. I was learning all about 405 00:20:14,220 --> 00:20:15,500 nutrition. I'm like, OK, we got our 406 00:20:15,500 --> 00:20:17,660 nutrition dialed in. We're going to have Rigel's 407 00:20:17,660 --> 00:20:19,340 nutrition dialed in. We're going to have like the 408 00:20:19,340 --> 00:20:22,860 most optimal, superhuman baby savage that's ever walked the 409 00:20:22,860 --> 00:20:24,580 earth. That's that's what we did. 410 00:20:24,580 --> 00:20:26,140 We were going to do the home birth thing. 411 00:20:26,140 --> 00:20:29,780 We're going to do like, the most minimally invasive, no drugs, no 412 00:20:29,780 --> 00:20:33,420 nothing. And then we were two weeks 413 00:20:33,420 --> 00:20:37,140 behind having him. Like in Arkansas we're from, you 414 00:20:37,140 --> 00:20:38,740 can have a home birth up to 42 weeks. 415 00:20:38,740 --> 00:20:40,940 Beyond that, you're not illegally allowed to have a home 416 00:20:40,940 --> 00:20:43,060 birth. Like the midwife can't be there. 417 00:20:43,700 --> 00:20:45,180 She's held liable or something like them. 418 00:20:45,500 --> 00:20:50,500 So 42 weeks rolls up and Chris and I go to the hospital because 419 00:20:50,500 --> 00:20:51,780 we can't have a home birth at that point. 420 00:20:51,780 --> 00:20:53,500 So that's pretty heartbreaking in and of itself. 421 00:20:53,540 --> 00:20:56,140 That's kind of what we had pictured for our story. 422 00:20:56,710 --> 00:21:00,630 And we get to the hospital and they give her some drugs, 423 00:21:00,750 --> 00:21:03,750 minimal drugs, trying to get things moving along that didn't 424 00:21:03,750 --> 00:21:07,670 work. And then 12 hours goes by and we 425 00:21:07,670 --> 00:21:12,030 have healthy heart rates with the Rigel and everything's going 426 00:21:12,030 --> 00:21:14,550 good. But they find out that he has a 427 00:21:14,550 --> 00:21:17,430 face presentation. So basically he can't be born 428 00:21:17,430 --> 00:21:20,990 vaginally with the style of face presentation that he was in. 429 00:21:20,990 --> 00:21:23,910 So one way you can, one way you can't his way. 430 00:21:24,070 --> 00:21:25,830 You couldn't like they were feeling around there and they 431 00:21:25,870 --> 00:21:30,240 felt the nose and and eyes. And so as we're getting all this 432 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,760 news, we hear things and we're getting like more and more just 433 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,800 distraught. Anxiety is getting higher and 434 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,640 higher. We're stressed and we're like, 435 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,200 okay, what kind of, what kind of measures are going to have to be 436 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,880 taken here? And she wasn't dialing at all. 437 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,840 And they basically said that we had to do a rushed emergency 438 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:53,400 C-section at that point. And y'all, many of y'all have 439 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,490 kids. When something like that happens 440 00:21:55,490 --> 00:21:57,970 and you have a plan in your mind as to how that's going to go, 441 00:21:58,730 --> 00:22:02,010 you have like these sensations come over you and you. 442 00:22:02,210 --> 00:22:04,010 You don't love anything like you love them. 443 00:22:05,130 --> 00:22:09,530 And I haven't seen him at this point, but I can hear his heart 444 00:22:09,530 --> 00:22:11,490 rate. I imagine what he's going to be 445 00:22:11,490 --> 00:22:16,410 like and we have to go in for this emergency surgery. 446 00:22:17,650 --> 00:22:21,970 He's Chris is on the table and they don't have any screens. 447 00:22:21,970 --> 00:22:23,050 I don't want screen. I'm too tough. 448 00:22:23,050 --> 00:22:25,710 I'm savage. I don't need screens, so I'm 449 00:22:25,710 --> 00:22:29,950 sitting there holding her hand. They're cutting my wife open and 450 00:22:31,470 --> 00:22:32,470 I don't know what's going to happen. 451 00:22:32,470 --> 00:22:36,070 I'm sitting here praying about maybe I'm going to not have a 452 00:22:36,070 --> 00:22:38,870 son, maybe I'm not not going to have a wife here in a little 453 00:22:38,870 --> 00:22:42,430 bit. But then they cut her open and 454 00:22:42,430 --> 00:22:46,590 he screams, you know, I hear him scream and he's alive. 455 00:22:47,150 --> 00:22:49,910 And then she gets stitched back up and she's good and she's 456 00:22:49,910 --> 00:22:53,110 alive. So now I've got a son who I 457 00:22:53,110 --> 00:22:56,390 would literally take a bullet for, and a wife who I do the 458 00:22:56,390 --> 00:22:58,990 same thing for. And that's all love. 459 00:22:59,350 --> 00:23:02,710 And I don't really know a lot in life, but I know there's an 460 00:23:02,710 --> 00:23:06,710 emotion called love, and I can't explain it through anything else 461 00:23:06,710 --> 00:23:09,230 except there being some kind of spiritual component there. 462 00:23:09,430 --> 00:23:12,230 So you have to have faith in something. 463 00:23:12,590 --> 00:23:15,270 I'm putting my faith in love, so there's that. 464 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,720 And when you spend enough time in these five pillars, you know 465 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,720 whatever those five pillars are for you, they may be a totally 466 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,240 different pillar. But you figure out what your 467 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,200 purpose is, how you can help others. 468 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,320 You figure out what your potential is. 469 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,920 You start figuring out what you can be capable of, what your 470 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,400 true potential is, and you figure out what it is that you 471 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,280 love doing, what your passion is. 472 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:49,040 And for me, I love business. I love the relationships that 473 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,160 I've built as a result of this community. 474 00:23:51,750 --> 00:23:56,470 I love my health and trying every single day to make the 475 00:23:56,470 --> 00:24:00,030 body that I have and the bodies that y'all have better every 476 00:24:00,030 --> 00:24:02,430 single day because of the the information that we're gleaming 477 00:24:02,430 --> 00:24:04,750 from this research and the experiments that we're 478 00:24:04,750 --> 00:24:08,030 conducting and just how we're choosing to live with this 479 00:24:08,110 --> 00:24:11,990 lifestyle. I love my little hobbies and 480 00:24:11,990 --> 00:24:14,550 things like that. I love figuring out and diving 481 00:24:14,550 --> 00:24:17,110 deeper into the spirituality aspect and what that means for 482 00:24:17,110 --> 00:24:19,910 me. So as you dive into those things 483 00:24:19,990 --> 00:24:24,040 and as you really give yourself permission to not be balanced, I 484 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,280 mean to really, really show you the hell with the whole balance 485 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,360 thing. Y'all like that's any moment in 486 00:24:28,360 --> 00:24:30,960 my life that I've been proud of. Any moment in my life where I 487 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,680 can look back on and be like, wow, I did something great. 488 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,640 Just then those all came in periods where the farthest thing 489 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,560 from my life was balanced. Like when I look at my 490 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,920 competition preps that I've, you know, done. 491 00:24:43,360 --> 00:24:46,410 I wasn't balanced at all. When I look at the relationship 492 00:24:46,450 --> 00:24:48,930 I have with Crystal, none of that has been balanced. 493 00:24:48,930 --> 00:24:53,010 Like nothing that has been great or worth telling of in my life 494 00:24:53,010 --> 00:24:57,010 has come during a period of extreme balance that just does 495 00:24:57,010 --> 00:24:59,410 not exist. And that's not a bad thing. 496 00:24:59,410 --> 00:25:02,650 So don't like, give yourself permission to operate on the 497 00:25:02,650 --> 00:25:04,610 fringe extremes. Just make sure you have a 498 00:25:04,610 --> 00:25:08,610 healthy level of extremes in your life that all complement 499 00:25:08,610 --> 00:25:10,650 one another. I try to make my life very 500 00:25:10,650 --> 00:25:12,970 symbiotic in nature. Everything that I focus on, 501 00:25:12,970 --> 00:25:16,850 everything that I pour my time into, my efforts into, and all 502 00:25:16,850 --> 00:25:20,610 benefits the whole and the the whole being one of those five 503 00:25:20,610 --> 00:25:22,410 pillars, those 5 pillars in tandem. 504 00:25:22,890 --> 00:25:27,260 So definitely give yourself permission to operate on those 505 00:25:27,260 --> 00:25:31,500 extreme fringes at times and not try and just, you know, be 506 00:25:31,500 --> 00:25:34,060 status quo. Play it safe like it's hell with 507 00:25:34,060 --> 00:25:40,580 planet safe, like that's no fun. So the world owes you nothing. 508 00:25:40,580 --> 00:25:42,020 All right? The world was here first. 509 00:25:42,060 --> 00:25:44,580 I saw that quote and I'm like that makes sense. 510 00:25:44,580 --> 00:25:48,580 You know, I look at this jocko willing mentality of extreme 511 00:25:48,580 --> 00:25:50,100 ownership. Like we live in an era in which 512 00:25:50,100 --> 00:25:54,370 everybody wants something for nothing and I just don't 513 00:25:54,370 --> 00:25:56,810 subscribe to that mentality. Like the world owes you nothing. 514 00:25:56,810 --> 00:25:59,010 Nobody, nobody owes you anything. 515 00:25:59,010 --> 00:26:02,370 Like you are here, You are blessed to be here. 516 00:26:02,370 --> 00:26:05,330 Like when I look at Rigel's birth story thinking that he was 517 00:26:05,330 --> 00:26:09,450 on the fringe of not even being here, it's like, man, the fact 518 00:26:09,450 --> 00:26:11,970 that you're here, like what are the chances of that? 519 00:26:11,970 --> 00:26:16,250 Like that is that is amazing. So congratulations for being 520 00:26:16,250 --> 00:26:19,930 born all y'all. So yeah, take take that into 521 00:26:19,930 --> 00:26:22,850 consideration, but don't only just know that the world owes 522 00:26:22,850 --> 00:26:25,960 you nothing. Take that, take that opportunity 523 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,680 that you are here and double down that you owe the world 524 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,440 everything. Like you are here for a small 525 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,280 moment in time, just a blip in history as your life's 526 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,600 existence, and then you're going to be fertilizing daffodil 527 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:42,000 someday. So take this opportunity and 528 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,000 pour into it. Kind of like how I started this 529 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,120 talk with that whole model of regenerative agriculture. 530 00:26:46,770 --> 00:26:48,810 And these cows are out there eating grass. 531 00:26:48,970 --> 00:26:51,090 They're happy. They're cycling in different 532 00:26:51,090 --> 00:26:53,450 types of species. They're not using fertilizer. 533 00:26:53,570 --> 00:26:56,050 Everything builds upon the the whole unit. 534 00:26:56,250 --> 00:26:59,490 And then those cows die and they make way for the next cows. 535 00:26:59,690 --> 00:27:03,610 And those cows are happy too. You know, like life is not 536 00:27:03,610 --> 00:27:09,170 supposed to be this born school, college, career, retirement, 537 00:27:09,170 --> 00:27:13,130 death, you know, linear path. Like that's just not fulfilling. 538 00:27:13,730 --> 00:27:17,260 Give the world your all. Be grateful that you're here, 539 00:27:17,540 --> 00:27:20,220 and double down the things that you truly believe in. 540 00:27:20,980 --> 00:27:25,300 I could literally drop dead on this stage right now. 541 00:27:25,900 --> 00:27:29,500 Hopefully I don't. But I could and I can 542 00:27:29,500 --> 00:27:32,340 legitimately be at peace with my life. 543 00:27:32,340 --> 00:27:36,780 I could be at peace with who I am, who I've become, and the 544 00:27:36,780 --> 00:27:38,780 impact that I've made. Now, granted, I've got a lot 545 00:27:38,780 --> 00:27:42,180 more that I want to do. But when you live your life on 546 00:27:42,180 --> 00:27:45,140 those extreme fringes and you pour yourself into everything, 547 00:27:45,340 --> 00:27:48,420 whether it's your your relationships, your career path, 548 00:27:48,420 --> 00:27:51,820 your spirituality, your health, your wealth, all that stuff. 549 00:27:52,020 --> 00:27:54,820 Like if you do so and it's impacting the whole because you 550 00:27:54,820 --> 00:27:57,940 owe the world everything, then you're at peace with whatever 551 00:27:57,940 --> 00:28:00,700 comes. And that peace, I think that's 552 00:28:00,700 --> 00:28:04,540 what we're all striving for. So that is pretty much my spiel 553 00:28:04,540 --> 00:28:06,820 on integrity and the five pillars. 554 00:28:06,940 --> 00:28:08,860 And honest, that's pretty much all I have. 555 00:28:09,060 --> 00:28:17,750 So that's me. I do have 12 minutes for 556 00:28:17,750 --> 00:28:19,190 questions that I do like questions. 557 00:28:19,190 --> 00:28:21,150 So by all means bring some questions my way. 558 00:28:21,150 --> 00:28:24,070 We can kind of dive into the the nuance of nutrition stuff now if 559 00:28:24,070 --> 00:28:26,870 y'all like, but definitely keep the cut questions coming. 560 00:28:27,550 --> 00:28:28,550 Let's say we got one right there. 561 00:28:30,670 --> 00:28:33,590 Question. You got to explain the undieting 562 00:28:33,590 --> 00:28:36,910 thing a little bit. That one's a new concept. 563 00:28:38,370 --> 00:28:41,490 What are you talking about as far as not worrying? 564 00:28:41,850 --> 00:28:44,810 Just not worrying about that or alright, what's going on? 565 00:28:44,810 --> 00:28:46,330 Reverse dining. So let's kind of do a deep dive 566 00:28:46,330 --> 00:28:48,130 in this. So reverse dining is, as it 567 00:28:48,130 --> 00:28:52,250 sounds, the reverse of dining. So people come to me and they 568 00:28:52,250 --> 00:28:55,170 say I want to build muscle and loose fat like that sounds 569 00:28:55,170 --> 00:28:56,530 great. Everybody wants to do that 570 00:28:56,530 --> 00:28:57,930 thing, you know, build muscle, loose fat. 571 00:28:58,170 --> 00:28:59,970 But they kind of compete for one another. 572 00:28:59,970 --> 00:29:03,570 So in order to optimally build muscle, you need to be consuming 573 00:29:04,110 --> 00:29:06,030 a higher caloric intake than you're expending. 574 00:29:06,030 --> 00:29:07,910 And I know there's a whole calories in, calories out, you 575 00:29:07,910 --> 00:29:11,350 know discussion, and that's another day's discussion. 576 00:29:11,350 --> 00:29:15,430 But in order to optimally add tissue to your frame in the form 577 00:29:15,430 --> 00:29:20,670 of lean tissue muscle mass, you need to be consuming more fuel. 578 00:29:20,670 --> 00:29:22,910 You need to be able to give your building box the fuel necessary 579 00:29:22,910 --> 00:29:26,030 to add that lean tissue. That is going to somewhat 580 00:29:26,030 --> 00:29:29,510 compete for the desire to lose body fat, because in that realm 581 00:29:29,510 --> 00:29:32,350 you need to be consuming less so your body can burn through 582 00:29:32,350 --> 00:29:34,710 additional body fat. So they kind of compete for 583 00:29:34,710 --> 00:29:35,830 another. They definitely compete for 584 00:29:35,830 --> 00:29:37,310 another. Yes, you can do them, but you're 585 00:29:37,310 --> 00:29:39,150 not going to do either optimally. 586 00:29:39,390 --> 00:29:43,630 So I recommend spending more time than not in a caloric 587 00:29:43,630 --> 00:29:47,390 surplus, taking in an increase of fuel intake, both ample 588 00:29:47,390 --> 00:29:51,080 protein and ample fat, and then training hard progressive 589 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:52,760 overloading your training and then recovering. 590 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,560 That's going to allow your body to add more tissue, and the more 591 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,640 lean tissue you have, the higher function your metabolic weight 592 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,760 is going to be anyways, which is going to make your next fat loss 593 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,680 phase more efficient. So to give you some some context 594 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,240 here, I started my prep 3 weeks ago. 595 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,320 I'm going to be doing a long prep. 596 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,280 I'm going to be prepping for like 6 months. 597 00:30:12,570 --> 00:30:15,210 So over the next six months I'm gonna be gradually dropping my 598 00:30:15,210 --> 00:30:18,490 intake overall. That down regulates my metabolic 599 00:30:18,490 --> 00:30:20,930 rate, that down regulates my hormone function. 600 00:30:21,170 --> 00:30:23,370 After that cut is over, that prep is over. 601 00:30:23,370 --> 00:30:27,250 I'm going to spend the next four months gradually increasing my 602 00:30:27,250 --> 00:30:30,130 intake back to a healthy maintenance level and then from 603 00:30:30,130 --> 00:30:34,130 there jump into a slight surplus to build more tissue. 604 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,680 I'm gonna spend more like 3 times more time in that building 605 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,800 phase than the cutting phase. And I see so many people doing 606 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,240 the exact opposite, that they spend more time than not in a 607 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,560 cutting phase than they do in a building phase. 608 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,920 And that's what wrecks your metabolism. 609 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,530 I see so many appliance males, females, all different ages come 610 00:30:51,530 --> 00:30:54,210 to me and they have hormonal issues, they have satiety 611 00:30:54,210 --> 00:30:55,770 issues. Leptin and grillin are all 612 00:30:55,770 --> 00:30:59,530 jacked up and that is oftentimes simply result of them dieting 613 00:30:59,530 --> 00:31:02,810 more often than not. So you have to have the yin Yang 614 00:31:02,810 --> 00:31:04,210 there. So a good rule of thumb is to 615 00:31:04,210 --> 00:31:08,250 spend three times more time in a building phase at a surplus than 616 00:31:08,250 --> 00:31:09,490 in a deficit. Interesting. 617 00:31:10,410 --> 00:31:11,130 Thank you. Yep. 618 00:31:13,690 --> 00:31:15,250 Hello. Thank you so much for your talk. 619 00:31:15,250 --> 00:31:20,800 It was very, very inspiring. My question is, for I'm a 620 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,000 teacher. So for those of us who feel like 621 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:28,280 we're just another number in the system, how do you break out of 622 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:32,160 that when, like, my passion is teaching, but sometimes I feel 623 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,520 like I'm just a cog in the machine like you were talking 624 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:35,400 about. Yeah. 625 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,680 How do you, how do you break out of that and and showcase your 626 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,040 passion like you're talking about? 627 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,480 So, Yup. Familiar with Jordan Peterson, 628 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:43,480 maybe? You know Jordan Peterson. 629 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,840 OK, so Jordan Peterson is a professor, He's a Canadian 630 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,360 professor of psychology, I believe. 631 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,400 And he was doing just that. He was teaching. 632 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,080 A lot of people don't like Jordan. 633 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:52,640 Peter something again to whether you like him or don't. 634 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:53,800 Like I do. So I'm cool with that. 635 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,240 OK, so but he was a teacher doing just what you're 636 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:57,800 describing. And then he started putting off 637 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,200 his content on YouTube and then becoming, you know, a guest on 638 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,200 podcast. And then he noticed that just 639 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,560 started taking off. So he was teaching, but he was 640 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,800 able to teach to a much broader audience. 641 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,440 That opened all kinds of new teaching opportunities for him. 642 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,240 So if you're a teacher, whether you're teaching like what? 643 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:14,600 What do you teach? Art. 644 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,040 Art at what? Level can kindergarten to 6th 645 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:18,880 grade. Yeah, if I was. 646 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,240 I mean, I'm not an artist at all, but if I was an artist, 647 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,560 that. Disagree, but OK, I'd be putting 648 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,520 a whole bunch of that content, you know, videotape it, put it 649 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,080 for free up on YouTube, like some of these kids YouTube 650 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,840 channels. Like I hopefully someday will be 651 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,480 as as as prominent as some of these little kids YouTube 652 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,320 channels. But they're killing it. 653 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,880 It's because the parents want valuable content that they feel 654 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,560 safe letting their kids watch. So if there was like a channel 655 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,320 dedicated to, you know, young adolescent artwork, you know, 656 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,280 that would be, that would be where I would go with it for 657 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:49,520 sure. Absolutely. 658 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:50,720 Thank you so much. You bet. 659 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,840 Do you find that since you've been keto when you're on a 660 00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:01,760 bulking or growing phase that you tend to put on less body fat 661 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,560 than before you were keto when you were bulking? 662 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,320 Yes. So I didn't put it up here and 663 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,160 only have this picture on here. But when I was bulking before 664 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,840 with the carbohydrate based approach, I got to 230 pounds at 665 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:17,090 my heaviest and I'm only 5. I say 5/8. 666 00:33:17,090 --> 00:33:22,690 My wife says 5, seven. I'm only 5-7 and 1/2 so I at 2 667 00:33:22,690 --> 00:33:24,370 and 30 pounds is not a good look. 668 00:33:24,370 --> 00:33:27,090 And that was with me eating 6000 calories from a carbohydrate 669 00:33:27,170 --> 00:33:29,850 prominent diet. Now I'll eat just as many 670 00:33:29,850 --> 00:33:34,450 calories but I don't ever really exceed 180 hundred £85 in my 671 00:33:34,450 --> 00:33:36,210 building face. I'm much, much leaner. 672 00:33:36,620 --> 00:33:40,300 Much, much more effortlessly so. Yeah, 100% think that you don't 673 00:33:40,300 --> 00:33:43,580 put on near as much junk weight when you keep the carbs out of 674 00:33:43,580 --> 00:33:45,860 the equation. And there's been some argument 675 00:33:45,860 --> 00:33:48,260 as to whether or not you're sacrificing some lean building 676 00:33:48,260 --> 00:33:49,860 potential without the carbohydrates. 677 00:33:50,060 --> 00:33:53,620 But The thing is a lot of that lean mass is coming from the 678 00:33:53,620 --> 00:33:57,060 glycogen, you know and the excess water that comes with 679 00:33:57,100 --> 00:34:00,180 eating more carbohydrates. So you that kind of skews 680 00:34:00,180 --> 00:34:01,820 things. And honestly, your ability to 681 00:34:01,820 --> 00:34:04,700 preserve lean mass when you transition to a cut is better 682 00:34:04,700 --> 00:34:08,139 with keto in my opinion. So the amount of muscle lost in 683 00:34:08,139 --> 00:34:12,420 a dining phase with keto is minimized with keto. 684 00:34:12,420 --> 00:34:16,219 So in that realm, I think it kind of evens out in the wash. 685 00:34:16,219 --> 00:34:19,159 So yeah, you you, they're able to maintain a linear physique in 686 00:34:19,159 --> 00:34:21,639 the building phase with Keto more effortlessly. 687 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,440 So I think it's a huge one in that regard. 688 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,800 And honestly, at my goal with this cut, I'm competing two or 689 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,800 five competitions and I've competed before, I've gotten 690 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,760 lean before. My goal with this prep is to be 691 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,480 the leanest man on planet Earth, like 100%, no questions asked, 692 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,120 Full stop, leanest man alive for that point in time. 693 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,199 And I wouldn't have the conference to say that that's 694 00:34:42,199 --> 00:34:45,440 possible for me if I was not doing the ketogenic diet. 695 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,639 Thank you. Yep. 696 00:34:51,159 --> 00:34:57,320 So going back to the reverse dieting, do you have a idea of 697 00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,920 what you would generally recommend for the length of 698 00:34:59,920 --> 00:35:03,480 time? Are we talking about a weeks and 699 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,400 then going off, you know, or is it months? 700 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,160 So great question. I'm not a fan of the week's 701 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:11,360 protocol. Like I don't like anything 702 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,960 that's very short term cuz that oftentimes you're not really 703 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,900 gonna benefit from it. So like if you've been dieting 704 00:35:17,100 --> 00:35:21,140 for far too long and you do like a, you know reverse that for a 705 00:35:21,140 --> 00:35:23,700 week and you push the couch for a week or two and then you go 706 00:35:23,700 --> 00:35:26,100 back into a cut, then that's pretty much disordered eating 707 00:35:26,100 --> 00:35:27,820 right there. Like you are going from a, you 708 00:35:27,820 --> 00:35:32,340 know binge purge Yolo not Yolo, not style of dieting which is 709 00:35:32,340 --> 00:35:36,940 just not great yo-yo not Yolo. So that that's not good actually 710 00:35:36,940 --> 00:35:39,340 this kind of Yolo so but that's not good. 711 00:35:39,340 --> 00:35:42,380 So I would recommend significantly more time like I 712 00:35:42,380 --> 00:35:45,260 typically tell my clients that have been chronically under that 713 00:35:45,300 --> 00:35:49,180 a bare minimum of six months of reverse dining is going to be 714 00:35:49,180 --> 00:35:51,860 necessary. But honestly, more than that is 715 00:35:51,860 --> 00:35:55,460 better because the more time you spend in that increase, the more 716 00:35:55,460 --> 00:35:57,660 opportunity you have to build more muscle, which is going to 717 00:35:57,660 --> 00:36:00,420 make your cutting phase that much better when you do 718 00:36:00,420 --> 00:36:05,140 transition to that cut. So if you are reverse dieting, 719 00:36:05,140 --> 00:36:07,060 if you're eating that way for six months. 720 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,480 That's not eating like shit. It's just, Oh yeah, yeah, it's 721 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,120 quality, quality food. Like I'm eating the same thing 722 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,480 in my building phase as I am in my cutting phase. 723 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,400 The only thing that changes is the quantity of those foods. 724 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,320 I'm eating all the same high quality foods, just simply more 725 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,200 of it. To give your body a surplus of 726 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:40,500 that nutrition I as long as you need to eat my 727 00:36:40,500 --> 00:36:46,540 personal 3000 calories so I can eat 3000 calories and my weight 728 00:36:46,540 --> 00:36:49,780 will stay stable. When I'm in a surplus, I'll keep 729 00:36:49,780 --> 00:36:54,620 it as slight surplus. So between 32 and 3500 calories 730 00:36:54,620 --> 00:36:58,300 is all that I need to do to push it and build muscle but not put 731 00:36:58,300 --> 00:37:01,610 on unnecessary body fat. When I go through this cut, I'm 732 00:37:01,610 --> 00:37:06,530 going to gradually taper from that 3000 down to about 17 or 733 00:37:06,530 --> 00:37:09,770 1800, but that's going to be a very finite period of time at 734 00:37:09,770 --> 00:37:13,250 that low intake and I'm going to have ketogenic caloric refeeds 735 00:37:13,450 --> 00:37:16,410 in that window of time as well. So that kind of makes those 736 00:37:16,410 --> 00:37:19,370 lower calories more sustainable and then I start up regulating 737 00:37:19,370 --> 00:37:21,890 the intake from there. But it's going to be a very 738 00:37:21,890 --> 00:37:24,410 short period of time at that incredibly low intake. 739 00:37:24,570 --> 00:37:27,930 So the people that are constantly eating sub 1000 740 00:37:27,930 --> 00:37:33,700 calories like Rigel, my 11 month old son, he eats more than 1000 741 00:37:33,700 --> 00:37:35,860 calories a day. So for anybody in here that's a 742 00:37:35,860 --> 00:37:38,820 full grown adult to be eating less than 1000 calories, like 743 00:37:38,820 --> 00:37:42,740 that's just not healthy. And you your your cut face 744 00:37:42,740 --> 00:37:46,980 typically lasts 2 months. My cut face was gonna be this 745 00:37:46,980 --> 00:37:49,780 one's gonna be about six months usually four to six months is 746 00:37:49,780 --> 00:37:52,620 the the sweet spot there? Because if you diet more slowly, 747 00:37:52,820 --> 00:37:55,580 you'll preserve more lean mass and you won't have to, like if 748 00:37:55,580 --> 00:37:58,300 you have to diet really aggressively, like I lost £80 749 00:37:58,300 --> 00:38:01,050 and 12 weeks before, don't recommend that for anybody. 750 00:38:01,050 --> 00:38:03,170 I lost a ton of muscle in that process. 751 00:38:03,170 --> 00:38:05,890 So I had undone a lot of the the good things that I had done in 752 00:38:05,890 --> 00:38:08,930 building that tissue. So diet much more slowly, 753 00:38:09,090 --> 00:38:12,010 preserve as much lean mass as possible and then that's going 754 00:38:12,010 --> 00:38:14,250 to help you from a metabolic standpoint going forward. 755 00:38:14,770 --> 00:38:15,490 Thank you. Yep. 756 00:38:18,530 --> 00:38:20,770 Hello. Howdy, I bought your book 757 00:38:20,890 --> 00:38:25,010 yesterday and it's amazing. You know you. 758 00:38:25,980 --> 00:38:28,460 You've told me so much in the 1st 20 pages. 759 00:38:29,260 --> 00:38:31,860 Excuse me, I really recommend it to anybody. 760 00:38:33,300 --> 00:38:38,060 I've I've been hearing I've only been keto 5 weeks and I started 761 00:38:38,060 --> 00:38:41,900 it for weight loss. I only had about 20 to lose. 762 00:38:42,300 --> 00:38:47,340 But us? I've come so far more more than 763 00:38:47,340 --> 00:38:54,740 that, with disease healing and dropped off meds that I never 764 00:38:54,740 --> 00:38:57,640 thought. I would be able to do, but my 765 00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:09,800 question is I'm 74 years old. I I'm in the elderly category. 766 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,120 That's how they describe people like me. 767 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:19,680 I am not elderly, however I'm in the age group that does chair 768 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:28,180 exercises, you know? When I'm not here at sea level, 769 00:39:28,980 --> 00:39:31,980 I have to use oxygen. I live in Colorado Springs 770 00:39:33,340 --> 00:39:36,140 because I lost alone. Now I want to do weight 771 00:39:36,140 --> 00:39:42,300 training. Where should I start so that 772 00:39:42,300 --> 00:39:46,980 they don't treat me like I'm my age and can't build muscle, 773 00:39:47,220 --> 00:39:50,940 which I'm sure I can. I don't know where to go. 774 00:39:51,470 --> 00:39:53,830 You can absolutely build muscle and you're not elderly. 775 00:39:54,030 --> 00:39:56,590 All right, so you can. What I would recommend doing is, 776 00:39:56,630 --> 00:39:58,950 first of all, make sure you're you're not in a deficit. 777 00:39:58,950 --> 00:40:00,390 Like you don't want to be in a deficit. 778 00:40:00,390 --> 00:40:02,390 So figure out what you or you do. 779 00:40:02,390 --> 00:40:06,550 The the DEXA scans out there are great, but a good rule of thumb. 780 00:40:07,180 --> 00:40:10,660 For people is to simply gets. Especially as you age, do your 781 00:40:10,660 --> 00:40:12,180 protein requirements do increase that? 782 00:40:12,180 --> 00:40:14,180 You want to make sure you're eating enough fat to fuel the 783 00:40:14,180 --> 00:40:17,740 energy demands, but a simple 1 gram of protein per pound of 784 00:40:17,740 --> 00:40:20,820 lean mass is a pretty safe recommendation for the vast 785 00:40:20,820 --> 00:40:22,660 majority of people. So make sure you're consuming 786 00:40:22,660 --> 00:40:26,280 that much protein at least, and then titrate your progressive 787 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,480 titrate your training up in some form of fashion. 788 00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,240 So if it's just chair exercises now, in a couple months maybe 789 00:40:31,240 --> 00:40:33,920 it's using resistance bands. So you can get some some cheap 790 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,560 resistance bands from Amazon and start using those resistance 791 00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,600 bands to target each individual muscle group in your body and 792 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:44,120 stimulate the muscle there. Oh, I've got bands and I've one 793 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,760 of those things on the door. Yeah, yeah, it looks like I'm 794 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:51,960 gonna put somebody in bondage in my living room, but. 795 00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:58,240 But you know, at the Y, I'm in the silver sneakers category, so 796 00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:02,040 I'm beyond that. I just, you know, I'd love to 797 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:07,280 have a coach, but they look at my age and they want to treat me 798 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,680 like I'm too fragile to lift a weight. 799 00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,920 Hey, if your coaches are treating me like they're you're 800 00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:14,480 too fragile, then get a different coach. 801 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:18,090 You know, like, find coaches that are willing to push you 802 00:41:18,090 --> 00:41:19,330 because they should be pushing you. 803 00:41:19,490 --> 00:41:21,370 You know, like, there's no reason you can't be doing 804 00:41:21,610 --> 00:41:24,210 barbell squats and leg presses and deadlifts. 805 00:41:24,210 --> 00:41:27,250 Like those are all good quality, compound fundamental movements 806 00:41:27,250 --> 00:41:29,730 that everybody can benefit from. Like obviously you want to 807 00:41:29,730 --> 00:41:32,290 minimize injury, but if you're doing those compound movements 808 00:41:32,290 --> 00:41:34,530 with the correct form and technique, you shouldn't have 809 00:41:34,530 --> 00:41:37,090 injury. And The thing is like muscle is, 810 00:41:37,090 --> 00:41:39,610 it's like a quintessential if you don't use it, you lose it 811 00:41:39,610 --> 00:41:42,090 scenario. So the best way to preserve lean 812 00:41:42,090 --> 00:41:45,290 tissue is to demand your body have that lean tissue. 813 00:41:45,490 --> 00:41:48,610 So pushing the envelope with how your training is going to keep 814 00:41:48,610 --> 00:41:51,170 you younger and younger, it's the fountain of youth truly is. 815 00:41:51,890 --> 00:41:56,210 And I believe that we're all going to live along a lot longer 816 00:41:56,210 --> 00:42:01,730 than our predecessors, you know, So I'm planning on being a keto. 817 00:42:02,240 --> 00:42:05,320 Con. Well, after I'm 90, hey. 818 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:06,840 Well, I look forward to seeing you here then. 819 00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:15,280 I believe I'm out of time. So see, I didn't pay her to talk 820 00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:17,640 about my book, but she did mention it. 821 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,240 So that said, I've got a whole bunch of books. 822 00:42:20,240 --> 00:42:23,600 I'm gonna be at my booth signing those books if y'all want some 823 00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,040 books. So by all means, come check them 824 00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,620 out. Happy to have y'all swing by the 825 00:42:27,620 --> 00:42:29,260 booth, so grateful to have y'all here. 826 00:42:29,260 --> 00:42:31,260 Appreciate y'all giving me your time. 827 00:42:31,460 --> 00:42:33,900 You are my oxygen. I can't thank y'all enough. 828 00:42:33,900 --> 00:42:35,900 So safe travels to all y'all.
