Speaker 1: So always a great pleasure to speak with Weade Lightheart.
Wade as one of the founders of Bioptimizers, one of.
Speaker 2: The bosses there. He's a new father.
Speaker 1: And man, I'm going to hit him with a question,
a political one, big surprise question, because RFK Junior has
come out and said his three agencies are against putting
these so called vaccines into our beef. Cattib'll talk with
Wade Lightheart Bioptimizers with the help of God Almighty.
Speaker 3: But Todd Herman show is one hundred percent disapproved by
big pharma technocrats and tyrants everywhere from the high mountains
of Free American here's the Emerald City exile.
Speaker 2: Todd Herman.
Speaker 1: Today is the day the Lord has made, and these
are the times to which God has decided we shall live.
Speaker 2: Always found out my friend Wade Lighthearts.
Speaker 1: He's a world class bodybuilder, world champion that as a vegetarian.
Far more importantly, Wade is a new father. Wade, welcome back.
Good to see your face, my friend.
Speaker 4: Great to be here. You know when I see you
on my calendar, I get all charged up the night
before I'm thinking about the podcast, because you know, it's
just no holds barred. There's lots of energy, lots of enthusiasm,
lots of power. Right now. I think it's probably the
most positive time that I've experienced in my lifetime, maybe
since Ronald Reagan came in and changed the course of
history by you know, the Gorbachev and Margaret Thatcher alignment
where they created this situation was like, hey, let's not
blow each other up. Let's try and make a world
a better place. We've seen a departure of that, and
there seems to be a renaissance to that idea that
we all got to live together somehow, Let's not kill
each other and let's find a way. Of course, which
today we're talking about, is how do we make America
healthy again? And if we can make America a healthy again,
that has a proliferate effect around the world. So I'm
pumped for today's post.
Speaker 2: So awesome, and I see you. We're in the hat
make America healthy again. That's awesome.
Speaker 1: Look, get an update on the health of your little
boy and your wife, because people are curious about that.
I got a lot of notes earlier saying that you
seem like a joyful father, and so give us the update.
Speaker 2: Then let's dig into this hell stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah. So my boy, uh, Leonard Lightheart, he's four and
a half months old. So I'm a new dad for
the first time in my fifties, which is awesome. And
you know, you get grandfather wisdom and you get maybe
a little bit of advancement as far as you know,
income and capacity and you know, perspective in life. So
I've got all the advantages of being an older person
coming in as a father, and I think that's a
big advantage. You know, I'm not trying to figure myself
out or struggle to make money or those things. And
those are noble causes, by the way, gentlemen, if you're
in that thing, just keep pressing. But yeah, my son
is super healthy. He's not been all ought up or
anything like that. Avoided all of that.
Speaker 2: Out those those out God good for you.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, So he's in the top percentile of growth.
He's like almost twenty pounds four and a half months.
He's doing his squats and his push ups.
Speaker 1: Of course you're gonna ask you said you were giving
him mass times for what are your products diluted down
for his level?
Speaker 2: But yeah, I was gonna ask about that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, one of the elements for digestion for kids
is you know, they're in a super anabolic environment, and
we use the enzymes probably out a breakthrough as well,
to make sure that he gets all the amino acids
to grow. He's traveled to Brazil. He's got a couple
of passports. His wife is my wife is Brazilian, so
he's been on the road, he says, world traveler. He's
got a couple of passports. He's going for his Canadian
one this year, and he's doing He's gone to jiu
jitsu already with his mom. His mom's five time world
champion in jiu jitsu, so he's got his little gee
and you know, and all that sort of stuff. He's
out there and he's learning to roll, and he's grappling,
he's picking things up. It's really it's really great.
Speaker 2: So I love that.
Speaker 4: The first day, the first day he goes there, he
watches for the whole day, and the next day he
rolled for the first time. He literally saw how to roll.
Speaker 1: Incredible. I used to wrestle with my little girl because
I was I was a wrestling school, and she wanted
to learn how to wrestle. And one day we were
downstairs wrestling and she pulled a move on me, and wait,
I heard her arm crack. You would not and she
was probably five. I was so freaked out.
Speaker 2: I jumped up, Oh my gosh, are you okay? So
sure arm? She said what what it was?
Speaker 1: It was just probably just air escaping or you know,
like you crack your knuckles, but it was her shoulder
check all the range of motion. And that was sort
of the last time I ever wrestled. I let her
wrestle me, but I never again. Like I taught her
to do single legg takedowns and she actually employed that.
Speaker 2: One time.
Speaker 1: There was a boy who was being a racist towards
one of her friends, and she he kept asking to
stop and he wouldn't stop. So first move was the
throat punch. Second was a nice outside single with an
ankle pick.
Speaker 2: Took the boy down. Nice stuff.
Speaker 1: I think all women need to know the basics. Like
your wife is obviously very advanced, but I think one
way to be healthy is in fact to be mentally
healthy enough to have a plan to know how to
defend yourself. So you're not kidding about teaching your kid this, right,
You think this is something that all young men and
young women should know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because first and foremost, I think if you have
those skill sets to just deal with you know, size
differentials and all of the elements that happen when you're
a kid, it gives you a sense of confidence, and
you have that confidence for your physical safety, then you
can engage with people on a mental level because you're
not fearful of the repercussions about speaking your mind and
testing your perceptions in the world. And that's really the
art in martial arts. It's not to be aggressive, it's
to be able to maintain yourself in a position where
you would have to cower down because of potential physical consequences.
And I think especially for women. And you know, my
wife is she's a very small woman, but she's like,
you know, even if it was someone who was a
lot bigger or larger than her, maybe they could overpower,
but it wouldn't be a good fight. And people who
act like that are typical bullies, and they want to
take advantage of someone who might be smaller or not
as stronger what they perceive as weaker. And when you
demonstrate that, you know, for example, if someone grabbed her arm,
she's going to break that arm very quickly.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 4: If they're going to grab around her, she's got maneuvers
that she's not going to be easy to handle. And
as a child, having those elements to reduce the level
of fear, I think also gives you a lot more
confidence to attack the things that you are not yet
competent in. You've got confidence. Any kind of physical training
is a progressive element, so you start to learn the
principles of progressive overload, progressive gaining of skills, which translates
in every area of life. Doesn't matter where you start out.
But if you have a process of understanding that I
can get better, then you you can go into things
and explore things that you you know, may not be
initially good at, but you have the confidence to pursue
them in life. And that's really what life is. It's
an unfoldment of continuous challenges. In life you can go
forward and go at it. And so I'm very fortunate.
My wife's a great mom, and he gets lots of attention,
lots of love. I have lots of I have lots
of fun with them. I wind them up with cars
and then give them back to her and say, Okay,
dad's got to go back to work.
Speaker 2: I love I love it. Dude, You're blessed. You're so blessed.
I wanted to ask you.
Speaker 1: And this is a big shifting of gears because it goes,
I think, to a whole other level of fighting. And
it is this obsession I'm seeing, uh from from some
people in government to want to force certain products into
our food supply.
Speaker 2: And I'm talking here about the bird flu.
Speaker 1: And Peter, Peter McCullough and others have looked at this
bird flu and said, you know what, this looks like.
It's gain of function. It looks like it came out
of the CDC lab.
Speaker 2: That's their theory. I tend to agree.
Speaker 1: Putting that aside, I got to tell you we've joined
with another industry leader that is actually responsible. I've never
done this before. I am not a guy who takes
what's called rip and read copy. But I'm going to
read directly from what the advertisers suggested to be something
I might say.
Speaker 2: This is a new partner in the show. Get this.
Speaker 1: Big Pharma and the government teamed up to suppress proven
treatments like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquin Why because admitting they worked
would have disrupted their push for an experimental vaccine, lining
Pfizer's pockets with billions. Control over your health was the goal,
and anything that challenged that was silenced. It wasn't just
about ignoring alternatives, it was about crushing them. They weren't
just making policy decisions. They were trying to control your
personal health choices. This wasn't about science, It was about power.
This is a new partner of ours called All Family Pharmacy,
and they provide at Allfamilypharmacy dot com slash Herman. When

a lot of really good sounding companies that market this stuff,
some of them with famous people, some of them with big,
huge conservative websites behind them.
Speaker 2: They are marketing agencies, their lead generators.
Speaker 1: What they do is they take your information and then
they provide it to other people. But they take a cut. Okay,
you don't want to pay that cut. All Family Pharmacy
is just that. It's two brothers who own it, mother
who works there. Now, if you ever have a question
about the drugs that you get from these marketing agencies,

cetera where they can answer questions for you because they

We called two million birds killed, two million birds, and
even the birds that were going to get natural immunity.
Speaker 2: That's insane.
Speaker 1: Eggs are a super food. I think you'd agree with that.
We'll talk about the Nutritional Bible from boptimizers. Eggs are
a very important food supply.
Speaker 2: But now they're.
Speaker 1: Trying to It's been approved at the USDA to inject
beef cattle with this almost completely untested, modeled in computers,
basically vaccine. It's been in some cows. We've probably even
eaten beef with it. Undisclosed to us. Now they want
to put this in all beef cattle. And I'm wondering
where you stand on this. I mean nutritious, Jeff, you
don't happen to eat meat, But you're a guy who's
helped write a book on nutritional Bible, So where do
you stand on this?
Speaker 4: Yeah? It's you know, I remember going way way way
back when I was a young man and we consumed
all kinds of meat products. Yeah, and my dad actually
worked in a meat packing plant, wow work, and he
explained what the heck was going on back there in
the eighties. It was frightening what they would even at
the plant, where they would ject sailing into the turkeys
and the chicken and all this stuff to puff it
up so you'd get a heavier weight. And then you know,
they'd be throwing turkeys around, you know, for footballs and
the stuff that was going on in meat prouidents. And
if you saw one into sausages and hot dogs and stuff,
you'd never eat one again. But what was interesting is
we worked in a meat plant, yet we would actually
get our farm products from local farmers that didn't use
any of that stuff, and you could tell the difference
in the food. We didn't know anything about vaccines or
the medications or the hormones they were putting into all
these cows, but I knew that my uncle Charles didn't
do that right. You know, everybody would go in and
buy that, or they would get a pig, or they
would get you made it to kill their own chickens
and all that sort of stuff, and so I grew
up with an organic understanding viscerally of what food was.
And then when I went to university and we were
using some of the more factory elements, I noticed I
started to feel different. I was eating similar diet, but
I was gaining weight. I didn't have as much energy,
I slept more, and I'm like, something's going on here.
And that was my initial foray into well, what is
food and what's in the food? And so I've been
on this journey to discover what those is. And for people,
a lot of people say, oh, well, he's a vegetarian,
doesn't get it.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 4: I don't advocate for any dietary strategy. I advocate for
the right dietary strategy for people. But I did make
this observation a long time ago that I felt that
the meat supply for the general public was hugely contaminated
and I was like, at some point I made a
break from it because I wanted to. And it's no
different in the plant based world. I want to be
clear about that the farming industry has its own challenges
as well. So whatever diet you're using, you have to
go a couple of levels deep. If you want to
really have the robust health. And this idea of putting vaccinations.
You can go back to Steiner's work.
Speaker 2: Oh, Rudolf's so important. You got to hear this now.
Speaker 4: Rudolph Steiner, who if you read his books, I don't
even know how he figured out all these things. This
guy was a total spiritual savant. He was capable in
multiple disciplines. And he wrote about the coming vaccination of foods.
It's interaction with spirit, it's taking down of people. And
if you look at the average person today, the average
testosterone levels are in the toilet. The average thirty year
old has a testosterone level lower than a seventy year
old man in the seventies. Yes, yes, and you feel it.
And as a man, there is a continuous attact psychologically
and physiologically and spiritually on the natural inclinations of masculinity.
And it's all this whole idea of toxic masculinity has
been distorted. But I do believe that these chemical agents
coming into the body actually distorts the way that we think.
For example, as older men, we know the difference between
our thinking when we had like super high levels of
textosterone versus lower. There is a distinct difference when you
disrupt the hormonal elements of your hormones do influence your decisions,
your energy levels, your immune system, all of that elements.
And the idea of putting these computer models into the beef.
Let's let's be clear when you look at how they
grow beef in these catables. These aren't inhumane environments where
they're not grazing normally, they're not out in the pasture.
Speaker 1: There are to say there are pharmacies. It the right way,
right because they are. I'll just say that, bro, because
I got a lot of rancher friends who are going
to say, you didn't push back out weigh, so I'm
just pushing back in their bath.
Speaker 4: True enough, And that's that's where I'm saying. You got
to go to the next level. It's like, am I
getting organic farming? Well you find out organic, Well, it's
not really organic. You know, like there's fifty different chemicals
that the USDA uses on organic food.
Speaker 2: Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait say that again.
Speaker 4: What there's fifty different chemicals that the USDA allows on
organic food. So I have a I have a water
machine that makes this high eleven point five pH water,
and that is it's soft enough that it'll mulsify oil.
I'll take organic produce that I buy in about twenty
five percent of it. When you soak it in that water,
you'll see a residue that I drain off, which is
literally the chemicals that got sprayed, either after it was grown,
because it's organically grown, but when the harvesting process you
can spray it, or if it's traveled in a truck,
same thing with the cows. Sometimes it'll be produced in
an area, it goes to the slaughterhouse and they're injecting
it with all the stuff. And so you really want
to know from start to finish where you're getting your
quality food. And guess what, once you eat it and
you compare it against something else, that's the snuff test
once you've had really well done. And I want to
give a shout out to all of what I call
the old school ranchers who are not just returning to
the traditional practices of growing food, but they're also spreading
the message about the differentiation. Because once you eat clean,
once you eat proper, once you get well sourced nutrients
without the hormones out, the chemicals out, the injections, all
of that stuff. Well, guess what you're going to see
something different. And there was a guy by the name
of doctor Wallach. Do you remember that guy, don't He
was around. He was a really popular guy. He had
a famous, famous cassette. So that's how far back we're going.
And it's called it was called dead Doctors don't lie.
Remember that he was a veterinarian and he was a
medical doctor. And he said, here's the interesting element. As
a farmer, as a kid, he said, we didn't give
the animals. We didn't give the animals drugs and elements
when they're like, we give them vitamins, and so even today,
a lot of nutrients, a lot of the healthiest food.
You know, they'll talk about the nutrient density of animal
products when you go back to their feed and how
many vitamins and minerals and elements that are not they're
not getting from their diet. They're actually supplementing the great
and the great chicken, like the healthy stuff, because then
they don't need these chemicals. So what happens is we've
been so far along on the distortion world and people
who don't even know how this stuff happens. They see
these animals in conditions that aren't really native to the species,
and then they have a bunch of illnesses and just
like we do in the health model that Kennedy's out
there attacking, they're saying, listen, oh, well we got we
just got to give it a drug. We got to
give it a shot. You got to give it a vaccine.
We've got to give it a hormone. We've got to
give it an immune booster, We've got to give it.
This just the same thing that they're doing to the
population to make them sicker and sicker and sicker and sicker,
they're doing to the animals, which is the upstream source
of the food. So you might be eating, you might
be following your life. You're not taking the jabs, and
you're not taking these hormones, you're not taking all these things.
But guess what, you're getting it in your food and
it's impacting your health and your vitality even though you're
doing your best elements to do it. And thank God
there's people like you to bring attention to the good
guys in the industry that are doing things right, as
well as bringing awareness to the things that people don't
know that might be impacting them. And their kids. And
you know, as a dad, you know, not only am
I meticulous about my own stuff, but I'm like hyper
vigilant about what my son's gonna get because he's not
old enough to make the choices. Yeah, he's come into
the world and he's you know, set a contract with
his mother, and I to say, listen, I need your
guys's help to guide me the best way possible until
I can make decisions on my own. Yep.
Speaker 2: And people are dude, people are so brainwashed. Way is
this again?
Speaker 1: This can sound so very prideful, and I don't want
it to sound that way, but people are so utterly
brainwashed away from nutrition on a very few ways. But
I'm looking that at the traffic schedule and there is
actually an announcement here for you. So let me just
say this. I have never and I'm embarrassed by this.
I have never hold my audience about the nutritional Bible specifically,
So you can get this at boptimizers dot com. Slash
Todd use promocotide to get ten percent off all their products,
and I'm gonna start using this now.
Speaker 2: I have my nutrition pretty well locked.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna bet because I know you weighed that
I'm going to learn a ton of things from this
book that I'll be able to employ myself. And I
might well do that nutritional screening because look, if there's
ways I could save money not taking TRT I'm in
I'd love to do that.
Speaker 2: My wife would love to have me stop taking this stuff.
Speaker 1: So as Bob deemizers dot com slash todd, you can
find the book there and all the products. You've heard
Wade discuss some of these things. But just look, take
an inventory of your body. You know the gaps, you
know what exists, and start to fill that in. Do
get this book and you'll know a lot more of
the gaps and be able to be a lot more
wise about how you fill those gaps in It's Boptimizers
dot com slash todd use promo code tod. I was
exercising around my house and I live up in the mountains,
and you relate to this. I was doing a sled
pole and the sled was like one hundred and ninety
five pounds. It's a mile and half pole and it's
about a six hundred foot game.
Speaker 2: And I come around and it was and I'm wearing my.
Speaker 1: Seal fit stuff my black you know, utility pants and
boots and hats and and it was like one hundred
degrees that day.
Speaker 2: So I come around. I'm done.
Speaker 1: I look at my watch Ton of Calie Byrne, and
my brule was no stopping. I don't care how so
you go, you will not stop moving. So I get
done with that and I'm resting, take my shirt off.
I'm like, oh my gosh, I'm so hot. And there's
a guy who was staying at her neighbor's house, renting
it or family member, I don't know, and I'm not kidding.
It comes across with a great, big, big gulp, and
he's a very untrained, really heavy dude. Now I'm not
trying to body shame. I used to weigh four hundred pounds.
Speaker 4: I get it.
Speaker 1: But he goes, hey, did you pull that all the
way around? I said, yeah, yeah, you know, I'm training
for this thing, and that looks really hard.
Speaker 2: I go yeah, I goes.
Speaker 1: So I'm guessing, like, you know, nutritionally, and I'm like,
I'm keyed up, man, I'm gonna have a chance to
evangelize year. I'm guessing, nutritionally, you must take a lot
of creatin.
Speaker 2: Retally. You caught me. That's that's it.
Speaker 4: Which which you do? It illustrates something really key. Yes,
people think if you're producing extraordinary results, you're taking some
thing that gives you that advantage.
Speaker 1: Look, I take TRT because my testosterone wade when I
was twenty six years old, was two hundred two hundred dead.
So I do take that. But my nutrition, dude, it's
not You didn't ask me. Do you eat the same
three meals every day?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Do you measure your macros yes? Do you eat clean
fish yes? Do you eat clean potatoes yes? Do you
pay attention with your food comes from yes? Do you
drink tons of water?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 1: He goes straight for the shortcut. And I feel like
that's what these so called public health officials are doing.
We have a sick food supply process. Clearly they don't
have enough medicine. We've got a six society. Clearly they
don't have enough medicine. But there's that great saying, if
food is not your medicine, medicine.
Speaker 2: Will be your food.
Speaker 1: And you kind of approach this in the Nutritional Bible
as well, So you know, I'd love to dig into
that because that's something I talk about your products, the
ingestibles all the time because I use all of them.
Speaker 2: But you guys are educators too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, Matt and I so. Matt my business partner,
you know, well, and he's a keto guy because that's
the type of diet that works best for him. I'm
a plant based guy because the diet works best for me. Now,
there are elements that I learned from Matt that I
could apply to my vegetarian diet to ensure that I'm
getting the essential fatty acids and things like that. And
there are elements that he learned for me as a
plant based guy, to optimize the effectiveness of his keto
based diet. So we decided that we would write, and
we are well qualified because typically what happens in dietary
circles is the fundamentals are probably eighty percent hommonalities and
the variabilities are twenty percent. Are usually to personal prepend
social conditions, psychological and emotional needs, and genetics which is
going to work best, And that also relates to your
tendencies for digestibility, Right, what your ancestors did, what your
current microbiome is, all of these others, And so we
decided that we wanted to eliminate the wars between well
meaning people who are saying my way is the best.
We want to read write an unbiased reference guide so
that people would be able to go through a process
to look at themselves as an individual and then assess
through this pyramid of nutritional decisions, psychological, social, spiritual, emotional.
Those are the foundational elements, because anything that's outside of
those range is going to be very hard to stick
to you. Then looking at what your goals and objectives,
and then your genetics and your nutrient genomics, and then
what elements that you would supplement to offset the liabilities
of a diet, what things that you could get out
of a diet that was better for you. And so
I could be successful on any single diet, and so
could anybody else. But you also need to know the
downsides of any diet as well as the upsides and
how it relates to you. And then had to test
to make sure that you're getting everything you need. And
the technology is now there truly optimize and accelerate and
extend the quality. And I do believe the length of
life because you're maximizing your potential as a human, which
God gave you to begin.
Speaker 1: With, do you think I could get off TRT if
I were to use the Bible properly and use it
testing properly.
Speaker 2: Do you think I could come off of that? I
don't take a lot of it.
Speaker 1: I'm certainly not some kind of reuter, and I'm not
asking for myself because there's plenty of people who can't
afford TRT. My wife would love to see me off
of it. Drives are crazy that I take it. But
do you think that's something that can get done through
really being rigorous with this?
Speaker 4: Well? I do know, and I don't think I'm speaking
out of school that Matt went on TRT and then
he's been off at the last few years, so he
did come off it using a variety of supplementation. There
are certain elements and with certain people like for me,
I haven't taken TRT yet.
Speaker 1: Certainly not even when you're winning, well, you you're an
all clean, you're tested right, you're in a test. Can't
say that you couldn't even take testosterone, let alone antabolics.
Speaker 4: Nothing, not nothing, No.
Speaker 3: So, when.
Speaker 4: I do believe there is a place aligne a demarcation
is sand that every man has to make for himself
with the benefits of say TRT, and that's going to
be an individual basis, but I always say cover all
your basis points first, the foundational elements of exercise, training, diet,
lifestyle a that get those things worked out, because then
if you still can't get your TRT or your tesosteroal
nosed one, yes, go well ahead, take TRT and get
to the advantage that you want in life. And that's
very different than taking you know, anabolics in the elements
those that you would you're looking for hyper muscularity, hyper
growth and stuff like that. But you know, middle age blues,
lethargy and all that stuff that comes with low testosterone
is real. And so I do believe that there is
an advantage. So there are people that can come off TRT.
There are situations if some of the fundamentals aren't quite right,
and when you're when you're someone who's had a very
high body fat level and then you come down, sometimes
you can reverse that you can't.
Speaker 1: I was thirty nine percent at one point. I'm about
nine point nine ten percent now and so obviously I'm healthier.
You know, I had a thyroid thing. I was taking
thyroid pills synthroid. That's all gone. That's been gone for
a very very long time. And it's fun shatting with you, Wade.
And when you do get over this way, I hope
we can get together a meeting between not just me
and you hanging out and going out in the woods
together and doing some workouts together. But I love you
to meet my friend Zach Abraham, Chief investment Officer Bulwer
Capital Management. You guys have a lot of similarities in common.
First of all, athletic pursuits, being business owners, being successful,
growing up in a way that you wouldn't anticipate.
Speaker 2: The successes that you have.
Speaker 1: And incidentally, folks, we're going to have a free live
webinar coming up with Zach. This is Thursday, March twentieth,
and it's at three thirty Pacific, okay, And it's free
to attend once you have to register. And in this
he's going to look at the healthy American economy, so
he'll give you a long term view of twenty twenty five,
what does it look like in his eyes, and also
in President Trump's first hundred days, what are the important
victories and what are the danger signs. He's going to
reveal how Bulwark goes about looking for opportunities to lower risk,
lower costs, and to give you as much retirement as possible.
They define successful retirement as knowing every month how much
money you're going to have. That's their idea of success.
But you are at a precipice point because either we
act actually beat the deep state, or I don't think
we get a second shot at this. So make sure
your retirement plan is ready to go with this free
live webinar. Go to Know your Risk Radio dot com

there are people like you were talking. You and I
were talking about my you know this, this this success
I had and this one single workout, the CrossFit Open.
I'm not going to jinx myself. It was one workout.
I'm not going to delude myself into thinking I'm some
big deal. But I got a great result out of that.
But I am obsessive about diet and exercise a lot.
There are a lot of people who don't have time
for that. So what let's take an average guy. I
hate that phrase, but someone who gets to exercise three
days a week time wise, and their exercises biking, or
their exercise is running. Maybe they do a little weightlifting session,
you know, nothing super intense. What are do you think
that the comp You said that eighty percent is sort
of the common baseline. But where do you see people
getting easy things wrong?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: I see guys eat sugar all the time? For me,
people ask me. I sat the end of the day
with a brother. He was having an iced tea that
I know to be three hundred and ninety calories and
some full on just sugar candies probably total thousand calories.
Speaker 2: As he sat there at eight pure sugar. He didn't
ask me.
Speaker 1: I didn't say anything, But if he ever did ask me,
I'd say, you want an easy tip?
Speaker 2: Never do that again? Right, block that out?
Speaker 1: So where do you think guys on a fundamental basis?
There's the bases that points to eighty percent, But what
are the twenty percent things? Those things that guys just
get wrong would be super easy to change.
Speaker 4: Process foods processed foods, period and sugar. Those two elements
I think are the most disruptive elements to virtually every
physical goal that you're going to have, like the downs.
If you release sugar today, this would be a drug
classified in the same category as cocaine as far as
detrimental effects on the body.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes.
Speaker 4: And then what I would suggest early on, if you're
trying to make that break, take one day a week.
That's your day that you can go have that whatever
that you want and keep it to that day at first,
and then over time you will start to see how
you feel around different foods. So, for example, we're famous
or infamous maybe Matt Night, we advocate what we called
a spike day. We don't call it a cheat day,
a spike day. We call it a spike day because
if you're in maintaining a calorie deficit during the week,
and you've done this for say three months or more,
then you get into a place called hyper compensation when
your body fat's at a reasonable level, and then that
spike day serves as a way to create a metabolism
kick and your body can't switch over to fat. Story,
so that's the day you sit with the boys, you'll
load up the chips, you have an ice cream with
the family or whatever, and then the next day you
get back on it. And what's really unique about it,
the spike day actually becomes strategic because as you introduce
different foods, you'll find that your body doesn't react well
to some foods that are like you know what you
call like off your normal diet yep. And there's other
foods that you'll really respond well to. And so what
happens is over the course of the year, you'll start
to get to a few specifics that really work for
your body, and then you don't want to touch anything
else because you know what throws you off. And that
one of the biggest elements and why I think every
single person that possibly can should do a bodybuilding or
a fitness competition. And the reason is it's hard, yes,
to get your body fat that low, but the level
of awareness that you get around the impact of food
when you are in that condition serves you for the
rest of your life. You get to understand that food
is a medicine, it is a drug. It is powerful.
It can make your body look great, it can make
your body look bad, it can give you energy, It
can take energy away. You start to see and most
of the anti aging strategies, guess what, they're all based
on bodybuilding and fitness science that was discovered seventy years ago.
There's not a genetic crisis about being fat. There's not
a mystery about losing weight. I can go into any
local mister, you know, local contest, mister and missus, local contest,
and every single person that walks on that stage looks
better than every in the gym. Why how is it
that all these genetic variations in a local contest, all
of these pigger people have figured out how to get
in shape because there's a set of principles, and that's
high protein content. Why, it creates satiety in the system, right,
and it burns a lot of energy to digest.
Speaker 2: That, so you don't feel like your satiety to be satiated.
Speaker 4: Exactly, clean food, they eat clean food. They eat the
same things every day. Yes, they watch their macros in calories,
and they add just a little bit of supplements to
offset the deficiency of that diet. And virtually every single
person looks better than most people on their best day.
They might be last in the show. The guy might
come in you might do that show and be totally
last in the show. That means nothing, and it doesn't
mean anything if you won the show, because every single
person that gets into that stage stuff and puts themself
out there in the most concrete there's no crowd that
is tougher than a bodybuilding crowd. It is the most.
They're putting the lights on you to make us look
as poorly as possible. You've got a judge of people
that are condemning every little element of you. If youse
can walk through the fire, go through that element, guess what,
you become bulletproof. Yeah, nothing will affect you about your
own body and shaming and stuff. And guess what, you
will have a standard in your mind for the rest
of your life that you will compare yourself to and
that becomes self regulatory in itself.
Speaker 1: This stuff becomes addictive, and this is the look. You
can be addicted to anything. There's a thing we say
in evangelical circles, Wade, anybody who has any any influence
at all is making disciples of something. So for me,
it's Jesus, I want that to be what I do.
And you're making disciples of football watching or cross fits
or et cetera. But the same bad behaviors that are addictive,
and I used to have them with you. When I
was food addicted. I was chasing insulin highs. I've shared
with you my embarrassing stories of stopping at this McDonald's
and eating all that garbage and then hiding it and
going to the next McDonald's. And I learned, oh, that's
an insulin high. You know what I now chase. I
chase the hormone highs of getting done with a highly
metabolic workout that lifts me for the rest of the day,
sometimes two days. I chase the and it's not even hormonal,
it's psychological. I killed that workout. I chase the quality
of life of knowing I have no guilt in what
I eat. I am in absolute freedom, and people tell
me sometimes it's like they'll see me with my fitness
Pal and I'm logging things, and like when I go
to my Spike day, I'm going to steal that and
use that minus.
Speaker 2: Pizza and a Caesar salad or a pizza skillet.
Speaker 1: No cross love that and I get my so I'll
get the dressing on the side while you do that.
Because I wonder howmuch dressings here? And I'm logging this
even on spike days. Yes, because I am free. And
people will say to me, no, you're in bondage to
a device. You're in bondage to measure your college.
Speaker 4: No, I'm not.
Speaker 1: I never go to bed feeling guilty for what I ate.
I never wonder if I'm on track. I never go
into the next day feeling like, oh my gosh, now
I need to starve myself because I did these things.
So you can become addicted to healthy behaviors. I noticed
this about myself on days where I don't exercise it
because it's a rest day, so it's at best active
active rest. Those are my hungriest days. My body wants
a ton of food, so I end up supplementing protein,
so I make sure I'm at my fifty five percent protein.
Those are the hardest days where I don't work out.
And some will say it's psychological, spirituous, all those things.
But we've become a society I think that has been
gradually smartly and in my judgment way, purposely addicted to
being a society of people chasing insulin highs.
Speaker 2: That's how you end up with a bunch of type
two diabetics.
Speaker 1: These foods are programmed to key up that metabolism by
me the insulin processed foods. Our bodies don't know how
to deal with that. And what's the process? Huge amounts
of sodium and shows and high fruit cooast corn syrup
and what do they do?
Speaker 2: Boom?
Speaker 1: Dopamine centers, serotonin centers and insulin. So do you find
is it gosh I'm saying this way? Is it irresponsible
for me to tell people get addicted to healthy things?
Speaker 4: The bottom line is is you are Every person is
controlled by the habits in their life. And guess what,
it doesn't matter if it's an unhealthy habit or a
healthy habit, you will be compelled to repeat those over
and over. And that's the way our brain structure is
because there is a continuity of behavior. So if you
recognize that, if you don't adopt healthy habits that support
your life, support your ability to earn, support your ability
to support your family. Like a physical vital humans, as
Robert Kennedy said, when when someone has their health, they
have a million dreams. When they don't have their health,
they only have one, and that's to be healthy. Again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a great.
Speaker 4: Statement, And the reality is, if you have unhealthy habits,
the pain train is coming at you at a much
faster speed than someone who isn't practicing those things. And
then I know you're going to have that person says, yeah,
but I know that guy that he used to run
and he used to do this and he got cancer
and he got Yeah. Okay, there are situations that you
can't control, But are you going to roll the dice
on that one. I'd rather go out in life in
a barrel role than in a slow, whimpering, slithering away.
I want to go out hard, fast, you know. I
want to like, you know, like like that. That's the
way I see that. I would like to go out
on my own terms, rushing into the arms of death
with anticipation about the great mystery that lies beyond. That's
what I'm excited about. And the only way you can
do this is physically. But the foundation and I took
learn this from my spiritual teacher. It's one of the
first lessons in his series. He says, Listen, your life
is controlled by habits. Haven't examined the habits that you have,
and so what I'm here to do is instruct you
and some foundational principles to get you so that these
things become automagic. I call it automagic. So, for example,
if a person just really analyze their day, they probably
get up, they do their routine whatever in the turn
on the news, take a shower, brush their teeth, shaves,
go downstairs, read the news, talk to their wife, drink
a coffee. If you look at your day, there's a
lot of mundane routine in it. The average person needs
twenty five different foods in the course of their weekend.
They say, if someone goes on a diet, they're like, oh,
you're restricting your life. You're probably not. They're just choosing
the things that support that. So at first you need
to rationalize the changes in your diet because it's serving
a higher goal. And if there's any message about the
fundamental aspect of spirituality, right is the idea of virtually
all religions is that you have a perfect creator as
an aspirational element to monitor you underneath. And that creates
an aspirational gap. Why do children worship athletes or entertainers whatever,
because they say, Wow, I wish I could do that,
And it's a comparisonalysis. So they want to learn those things.
It's built into us the mentorship practice. We mimic the
behaviors of those we admire, first starting with our parents
and then moving into the cultural icons. But the ultimate
is the spiritual icons. And you know, if you go
to the Bible and stuff, it talks about the principles
and practices of what it takes to be healthy and
functional and clean. And all of these elements are built
right into the right, into the fundamental aspects. Because the
better tuned your instrument is the clearer. The subtle sounds
of divine resonate within one soul.
Speaker 2: And to say it from.
Speaker 1: A Christian perspective, our body is a temple. It's a
storage place for Heaven itself. So the Kingdom of Heaven
resides within Christians who've accepted the Lord Jesus and agreed
to be changed by him, baptized by him, recognized him
as savior. So we get the Holy Spirit within us,
the one man God who rose from the dead, and
he gives us then these keys to eternal life. And
he says this to us, hey, would you keep the
house clean. That's going to be my temple. So I
want it clean spiritually because people are defiled, not necessarily
by what they put into the body, but what comes
out right. And I'd like that to be a clean
place for me. And I gave you something to steward. Now,
imagine as God gives you your body. Imagine you're there
right on that moment God says, look, I crafted something
for you, and I crafted this body, and it's in
my likeness he and I'm going to give this to you.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: I spent a lot in your way of thinking. I
spent a lot of time on this. You know what
I really like about you is look at how I
made your hands. Your hands are really special to me.
That fingerprint belongs just to you. And I'm going to
give this to you, and I'm going to ask you
to steward it, and in a little while I'm going
to come back and I want to see how you
did stewarding it right. And So this goes to behaviors morally,
it goes to behaviors, nutritially, it goes to behaviors spiritually.
Are you using that temple to pray to me? I'd
like to stay connected to you.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: Look, we've talked a lot of health today, Wade, and
a lot about being addicted to things. And I've admitted
to people I am a coffee hound. I've determined I'm
not an addict. I took a week off of coffee.
I didn't get the headaches, I didn't get the moodiness.
I missed it. I admit that. But one of the
things that made me an addict was radio. When I
was doing morning radio, I needed to be absolutely geeked
to do three or four hours of talk at six
o'clock in the Stick and Moore.
Speaker 2: That's hard.
Speaker 1: So I became an addict, but I didn't care about taste.
Then I met my friend Tim Krukshank, who is a
retired Navy seal, is a coffee company called Bone Frog Coffee,
and he wanted me to endorse the company and the product.
Speaker 2: Man, I only drink.
Speaker 1: Coffee as a caffeine carriage system, so send me some.
If there's some sort of difference, I can do this.
I mean, I'll endorse you as a human being. He
sent me some of the coffee and I was blown away.
He's done something super special for Saint Patrick's Day. Because
Tim Krukshank has a Celtic heritage. So if you see this,
you're looking At the Vida version of the show, you're
seeing a Celtic cross utterly beautiful, honoring the Lord Jesus
and honoring the fighting spirit of the Irish people. Tim
of course, a retired Navy seal. The product is called
Irish True. The bag looks like this. Of course it
says God Country Team.
Speaker 2: All it does.
Speaker 1: This is a medium dark roast that has some hints
of ripe fruit and nightiness in it, even a little
bit of caramel in this, so it's a unique taste.

The Bible also taught talks about and it addresses us
to be sober of mind because Satan is roaming around trying.
Speaker 2: To capture us.
Speaker 1: It addresses things like not being you're not going out
and treating food in a bad way, not being gluttonous.
It gets into these things, but it always goes back
to the temple because there's going to come a day
and from a Christian perspective, where every need will bow,
every tongue will confess, and people will go, oh, wait,
Jesus was the way, okay, And one of the questions
he might have for you is how did you do
it keeping my house clean? Right, That's one of the
ways we look at this from a Christian perspective. And
to wind it back to nutrition. Wait, when you talk
about food and you talk about responsible ranching, you talk
about these and I got to get this water thing.
Speaker 2: I think, I know my friend has this device you have.
Speaker 1: I got to get one of these where you put
your vegetables in there and you can see these chemicals
come off.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can connect yet with that.
Speaker 1: So you're returning food to a way that God designed it,
and now in the garden to beating. As far as
we know, there was no meat, there's no blood. Right,
we existed with the animals, and this is the seventh
day abatis of you. My view on this is the
more you can look at a food and say that's
exactly the way God designed it, the better off you are.
I think you'd have a tough time getting fat or
unhealthy if you said I'm only going to eat foods
exactly as God designed him. I mean, you could do it,
but I think you'd have a hard time being unhealthy
that way. Brother, Does that make sense one percent?
Speaker 4: If that's just eat real food? And there's what's interesting
about real food. And one of the elements that we
go into in the book is about society. Okay, and satiety.
Is I'm good, I don't feel the need and compelled
to eat? Yes? What is gluttony? Gluttony is like a
demon that cannot be filled. It is it is ravenous
consume to take in more than it needs to be
a narcisistic gluttonous which is expressed in the fat pat businessman,
the empire that tries to dominate too many things, the
person who becomes dictatoral within their relationships and family. They're
overstepping the elements of hey, take care of myself and
be a magnanimous magnet of aspirational being versus someone who
is going to dominate, suppress, and take away from impecunitive
about things. And these are these subtled demonic elements that
get twisted in what is Satan? If you look at
the actual elements, it is illusion. It is the idea
that I'm gaining something, but you're really losing something. Yes,
And the reality is is nobody wants to look in
the mirror and say, the decisions I'm making on a
daily basis are actually making me a loser at life.
And they want to project their own resentments towards their
subconscious spiritual nature onto the actions and characteristics of other people,
because if you push out, then I don't have to
look in the mirror. And the people who have the
biggest challenging time about other people in the world is
directly correlated to the resentment that they reside within themselves
projected onto someone who they say is the ultimate whatever
that's ruining their life. Yes, the reality is you're ruining
your life. You've made those decisions. Not everybody gets the
same card of hands. But I've seen people in the
worst conditions that are the best people. I've seen people
in the best conditions that are the worst people. Your
conditions in life are temporary.
