And he said, no one dies from old age.

There's no such thing.

You die of a deficiency of something over a long period of time.

You get a disease, blah, blah, blah.

And I just was like, wow, this is fascinating.

And I had already become world champ at this time.

But I was like, this is fuel for my fire right here.

I'm going to actually, like,

start being healthy yeah so i got i got super into um i i started just trying different diets like food combining you know i did food combining for a while i met i i became familiar with the gracie's from going to oh yeah from going to uh rio for contests every year

And then I eventually met Hickson and Hoyce and Hoyler and all those guys.

But I had read their book.

Prior to that, a friend of mine had written a book about them.

And I think two different friends of mine have written books about the Gracie family now.

But...

I started reading about their diets and, you know, they talk about food combining.

And then I started looking into it.

What is truffology and why don't proteins and carbs go well together, blah, blah.

And I started kind of like experimenting with that on myself and seeing how I felt.

And I realized I have more energy and I sleep less and I digest better and I don't have stomach problems.

And so I kind of just became really sort of fascinated with truffology.
