tends to essentially numb that pain a little bit you know and one of the things that i've talked about before and you've probably heard is i like to bring up an idea called the apple test because there's a difference between hedonic hunger or emotionally driven hunger and physical hunger

If you're in one of these situations and you've waited 20 minutes and you still want to have whatever it is that you want to have, you can ask yourself, you know, would an apple solve this craving? Then if your answer is hell no, I don't want to eat an apple. I want to eat a donut. Well, there you go. You know that you're not hungry. That's not a physical hunger issue.

It's an emotional hunger issue. And that doesn't mean that this is a fail-safe answer of how to treat the problem, but it educates you and it gives you an idea, an insight into what you're dealing with, and that can give you the choice on how to respond to it.

Yeah, I mean, this was always a passion for me. And it was something that even in all my downtime throughout growing up and schooling and everything, I was always trying to absorb as much information about fitness and nutrition and health as I possibly could. And I was sold on it early. I got that addiction to working out and fitness. the enjoyment out of it, you know, early.

I was about 170 pounds at six foot one. Okay. So that's, that's not a, that's not skinny. It's not, it's not too skinny, but you know, when you're playing sports, competitive sports, that you can be tossed around a little bit at that. And so that's what got me into it at 17 years of age, I started lifting. And so that has kept up throughout the years and has been a wonderful thing.

The switch to dentistry was great and I practiced for 10 years. And towards the end, my father who had been a dentist for 35 years ended up getting throat cancer. He ended up getting esophageal cancer. And I had conversations with him throughout the last years of his life. And one of the discussions that I had with him was, if you had the ability to do this over, what would you do differently?

And his answer to me was he wished that he would have spent more time with family and he wished he would have taken care of his health a little bit more. Because throughout the years, I'd always been like, hey, do you want to go to the gym with me? Do you want to do some of these things? And he's like, no, I'm too busy. I've got work. And he was a sole practitioner. He was the only practitioner.

He had his own practice. He was the only person running it. And so he always felt like he had to be there. And he was great with his patients. He was always spending time with them. If they would call in after hours, he'd be like, I'll meet you in there. I'll take care of you. But it didn't create the health life work balance that I think that he really needed.
