Like, do you cold plunge after a workout or do you not?

Well, it depends.

You know, if you were in there 20 minutes, the research says no.

For one minute, the research says it's fine.

You know, and gluten, you know, there was a recent study on gluten that showed that people who thought they had a gluten intolerance and then were like fed gluten but not told that they were fed gluten, they were just fine.

As soon as you find out that you're fed gluten, you're like all of a sudden like getting gas and bloating because you're convinced mentally.

gluten intolerant it's actually in your head and yes some people actually do have like celiac disease and gluten intolerance so just that and seed oils and you know working out vo2 max like there's all of these things that have nuances and i think that'd be a fascinating book to write you know just like from an in the trenches experiential standpoint like how do we cut through the confusion actually make a decision based not just on

dogmatism or how do we monetize a certain belief pattern, but what does the research actually say and where is the nuance in the research?

Ben, it's been fun, man.

You've inspired me to take some time off next year, so do it.

I'll take a schedule now.

Classic.

Classic.

I don't know if you'd call it a self-improvement book, but I'm going to.

A book by Napoleon Hill called Outwitting the Devil gets into that.

It's a good one.

Hypnotic trance is how the devil keeps you from becoming the most impactful person that you can be because you basically get caught up in all the distractions.

That's the daily hypnotic trance, how you live your days, how you live your life, and eventually before you know it, you're fulfilling one of the definitions of hell, which is meeting the person that you could have been.

Thanks, man.

Great chat.
