It's not a fitness trend. We did it when we went to school.
Yeah.
Uh-uh. So a couple times a week. How long? So I travel about 75% of the time. I'm not traveling with a rucking vest. Yeah. She's like, I'm not going to do it. So, you know, if I'm home and meeting a friend for a walk. So I have a girlfriend that I walk with and she's about 5'2". I'm 6 feet. Clearly, I got to do something here.
Otherwise, you know, so even though she's a fast one, I throw a rucking vest on. Yeah.
They want a trendy formula. I keep trying to think of a formula. Here's my overall formula, though. The first thing you do is make sure you're getting in 8,000 steps a day, at least, bare minimum. That is like flossing your teeth. Once you have that dialed, and ideally a couple times, you know, that's just throughout the day. You're moving all throughout the day.
You're standing instead of sitting. You're walking instead of standing. Throw a rucking vest in where you can. Add a little intensity where you can. All that. Then you add in resistance training and you train to get better at life. So you do things that mimic normal life. In life, you have to get off the toilet. So you're squatting. You're picking up groceries. You're doing deadlifts.
You know, you do this stuff, right? Then you add in some high intensity interval training to improve your VO2 max. And then one day a week, you throw in a yoga class. So you get your balance and flexibility. That's it. That's the formula. I love that.
Oh, honey, you did not see the... It was all over. Everyone's going, this is going viral. So at Unimonia, they had a GLP-1 panel.
So it was... This Tufts nutrition researcher, I don't remember his name. I just remember Dariush, but I don't remember the last name. It started with an M. Then they had Zachary Knight, who was a neuroscientist. I was in the middle. Then they had Callie Means. Then they had Jillian Michaels. And... My belief on these, first of all, I don't believe that you lose weight to get healthy.
I believe you have to get metabolically healthy in order to put on muscle and burn fat. We are in a metabolic health crisis, as we know, like less than I think it's probably less than 5% of the population now is metabolically healthy. I mean, the fact that we are almost at 80% overweight and obese and that we have a very high amount of people who are normal weight that are normal weight obese is
it's absolutely frightening, right? For the first time, the obesity trend lines are starting to normalize where they've been exponentially increasing, and it's because of these. The issue with the GLP-1s, I think they're the greatest longevity peptide, and they're being used completely inappropriately for what we could do with them. You know, the pharmaceutical companies have Jack these prices.
If we could just compound them in small micro doses, they actually can heal your metabolism. And when you've got someone who's in a metabolic hole trying to pull them out of it just with diet and exercise, I mean, we would all love this. Here's the thing. What would we love?
If everyone could eat healthy, exercise, get great sleep, manage your stress, and have great relationships and believe in something bigger than them, that would be so great, wouldn't it? But when you're in a metabolic hole that you can't climb out of, all of that looks impossible. And you hurt, you're inflamed, you can't move more. I mean, I'm working with a guy who's 385 pounds, now 350.
And he was getting 2,500 steps in a day because everything hurt. And he wouldn't go on these because of all the BS, shame, misinformation out there about them. Like it is so ridiculous to me. It pisses me off. So this whole thing over here was Callie and Jillian screaming, basically called me a liar and told me I was full of, I don't know if I can swear on this. You can swear on my thing.
You can. Right? Shit. Called out the other scientists who are like the sweetest guys ever. I'm like, you know, game on. I go, I have all the studies for anything I'm saying here. I've got the research. But I first got interested in them because my son's got a traumatic brain injury. And I saw I was at a lecture and the doctor had been using him for a decade, started talking about neuroregeneration.
And I'm like, are you kidding? And my son, it has changed his life. changed his life. Like, you know, whatever I have to do to continue to get this from him, he's on semaglutide compounded small dose. And, you know, this was a kid who was like, they did a brain scan and neuroquant and it's like 75% brain loss from, you know, the second injury over the course of a year.
Like he was going down and dying. And this has pulled him out. And guess what? He's happy. So we know like they help with inflammation. They help improve sensitivity. They help with microvascular dilation. They reduce blood pressure. They improve lipid profiles. They are neuroregenerative and cardioregenerative. Like all these things. And there's all this BS out there.
And a lot of it's because they're being dosed totally crazy. But then you have people out there screaming and yelling that we just need to eat better and exercise well. And clearly we do, but that's not going to save the planet at this point.
You guys were just together, she told me.
Here's the issue. If you have fatty liver, 30% of the population now does. Most don't know they have it. If you have insulin resistance, if you're obese, you have a GLP-1 deficiency. Now, we don't know if you also have resistance because a lot of times with hormones, you get resistant as well, like insulin resistance. But let's say you have a GLP-1 deficiency.
