That puts you instantly into what's called a parasympathetic. It's a rest and digest state. nervous system before you eat, before you eat. It allows you to consume your nutrients a lot better. If you're eating in front of the television watching evening news, you're screwed. You're in a fight or flight. You don't absorb the nutrients. You're empty calories.
Next thing, even the order in which you eat your foods matters. So if you have a plate of food, um, Eat your veggies first. Those veggies slow down your digestive track. They are absorbing the best nutrients first, eat your protein next. And then if you have room at the end, you can eat your carbs, right? So that order is critically important. Is that the sequence secret?
So Ozempic drugs are like, I mean, they're every place. They're the get-rich-quick scheme or the get-skinny-quick scheme. And people need to know it's not that simple, right? GLP-1 drugs, you do lose weight. You... basically cut out your hunger, but a significant amount of the weight that you lose is muscle. And if there's one thing that correlates with longevity, it's your muscle mass.
So there's a very large study that the more muscle mass you have, the longer you're likely to live, and for a number of reasons that occur there. And so what happens is if you're on a GLP-1 drug, you're losing weight, you're losing fat and muscle. And then if you stop the drug, you'll put on 70% of the weight you lost. And most of that that you put on is fat and not muscle. Oh, man.
You're effectively addicted. Wow. And so if you're going to take the drug, the single most important thing that you should be thinking about is how do I use this to create better habits? I mean, there's some people who are morbidly obese. They can't move well. And yes, it's fantastic to help them. But the important thing is while you're in this situation, learn how to eat healthy.
I think about everything I put into my mouth. In the same way that I'm so careful about what I watch on the... I don't watch the news, first of all. I don't read the papers. I don't watch the news. I have Google searches and an AI that I set up for you that bring in the stuff that's relevant to me. I don't need some editor...
like working up my sympathetic system and telling me, I mean, pick up the newspaper tomorrow morning and count the number of negative stories and positive stories. I guarantee you it's 10 to one, at least. And the same thing on the TV news. I mean, it's all negative news. And you have to ask yourself the question, is this all that's going on in the world? Or is that what they're reporting to me?
And there's so much amazing things going on. You just don't hear about them. Good news networks do not succeed. And so you have to actively shape what you allow into your mind in the same way that you shape what you let into your body, what you eat.
Yes, exactly.
And do gratitude.
Yes. I mean, listen, I'm guilty as everybody when I'm like in the middle of, it's like, I got to get this into my body as quickly as possible. But the answer is no. It's like when you do that, you're short-changing the nutrients you're absorbing and you're doing yourself a massive disservice.
And so if you're gonna take the time to eat and believe me, this is a, you have to get into a mantra mode where it's like, I'm gonna eat now. One other thing, you know. Pause. I'm gonna pause. I'm gonna take some deep breaths. I'm gonna drink a full glass of water, you know, first. We all know this, right? Just to calm down my hunger pangs and I'm gonna enjoy every bite.
and I'm gonna chew it a dozen times, 20 times, and I'm gonna savor the food. And all of these things are basically activating your natural equivalent of Ozempic in your body. Yes, yes.
Yeah. The elements here are each of them make sense, right? The last one here, move your body. So regular exercise. And we know this after when the healthiest things you can do, especially as a family with your loved ones, with your kids, with your spouse is after an evening meal, go take a walk. Mm-hmm. All of these things make a fundamental difference.
You can actually see yourself lose kilograms just by the order which you eat your foods. Really? Yeah.
Well, first of all, because you're slowing down your eating and because you're eating your fiber first and your protein next and not your carbs. So the challenge is when you eat empty carbs, white rice, right, for example, it's converted to glucose. It spikes or bread at the beginning of your meal. You know, you got this basket of bread, you're just munching and drinking wine.
All of this turns into raising your blood glucose levels that then spikes your insulin, which then makes you hungry again to eat more. So if you think that the restaurant is like just doing you this favor of bringing you out for wine. Free bread. Yeah, yeah, and bread. They're manipulating you. Wow. They're just making you hungry to order more food.
You know, it's, I hate to say that, but that's what's going on.
They give you a little heroin dose at the beginning to get you addicted. Exactly. What is this lemon power? What does that mean? So there is an extract called aramin. And you have these, what's called L cells in your gut that are producing the GLP-1. And it's basically stimulating your L cells to produce the same drug normally. And instead of giving yourself an injection of the stuff.
So, I mean, listen, these are all, at the end of the day, these are all small, actions you can take.
