Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
That's why we're so tribal about our politics. And I think tribalism should stay out of politics. And I think fitness is a much better place for tribalism because you push each other and you, you know, it's, it's a positive feedback loop and whether it's getting in ice baths or working out or whatever, we do need that sense of we're doing this together. We're in this together.

Not even remembering what you did. Waking up the next day and be like, what happened last night? Like, what did you get out of that?

Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
You didn't integrate any of that. That didn't build your life in any way, shape or form. I get it. Look, I used to do it all the time. But you're not building anything like that. No, I...

Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
You're doing all the things that we would previously doing at clubs, except you're doing it a bit more during the day and you're not filling your body with poison, but you're getting really all the upsides without the downside.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
And you're not going to sleep at 4am and ruining the next day. You're just doing it during the day and you're getting most of those benefits.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
Yes. Especially as we move into the technological age.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
Especially like real life, like physically together.

Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
Not digitally, like, which is maybe one step better than just being in your room by yourself. But like, I think like being on a Facebook group is not going to give you the same benefits, like in terms of your body and the wellness factor that you just mentioned. I think you physically have to be around those people.

Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
I think there's a common theme because you can go into a million ways, right? But I think the- That would work though. Yeah, yeah. But there's a million little tricks you could use, but I'm saying one of the real common themes that binds it all together is the enjoyment piece, which you could take this the wrong way.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
People could take this the wrong way and saying, I always have to feel like doing something. And that's not true at all. Your feelings are really momentary and fleeting- And you and I, at least with regard to the things that we're successful at and that we are doing well with, for example, fitness, we don't really pay much attention to our feelings because we know they're fleeting.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
But at the same time, we are doing something. We're passionate and overall, we love our fitness and we're passionate and we do enjoy it.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
But then let me, going back to the thing I said before, let me ask you, with regard to like making your kids a sandwich, do you feel better after you've done it?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
Oh, yeah. It's a completely negative spiral. You're just going to spiral down at that point.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
You're about to fitness? Yeah. Oh, for sure.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
As a gym owner, I wholeheartedly support that. Thank you, exactly.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
No, but I love it, like calisthenics and stuff. I do so much calisthenics.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
If you saw my dad, you wouldn't say that. Well, okay.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
My philosophy is exactly actually coming from that. Like I think that you should like calisthenics should be your base and then you add on to calisthenics. Like if you can't do a bodyweight squat or a push-up or a pull-up, you shouldn't be doing heavy squats or bench press.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
Do you know what helps with that a lot? What? Something we spoke about earlier is the momentum piece. Wait, let me finish my thought.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
Now that's exactly what I was going to say is, is the momentum piece is start easy. Like your first workout of a new program, or if you haven't worked out for a while or whatever, whenever you're starting a new phase of something, it should be dead easy. You should like just leave and be like, damn, I probably could have done more.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
as opposed to crushing yourself right at the beginning, because the ego and even the body is not really ready for that at the beginning. You need to generate this. You need to get the snowball kind of rolling. And most people want to jump in at the deep end and they wonder why they're drowning all the time.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
It's like, no, start easy, leave, come back, make it a little bit harder, leave, come back, make it a little bit harder. And before you know it, you're flying, but you've got to start simple and easy and then generate the momentum.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
100%.

Yep.

Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
Yeah. It's crazy how that happens. The resolution is go back into their cave.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
Yeah. Yeah. I don't know how people don't, I don't know how people don't work out sometimes. So I'm just like, so what do you do? You just go home from work and you like eat pasta and put the TV on. Like it just, I just, I don't really get it. Like you feel so much better and you function so much better when you're working out. I don't get why people wouldn't.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
And that's what I tell people, especially my clients. I'm always like, I think the difference between people who work out regularly and people who don't is when someone doesn't work out regularly or struggles to get into a workout habit, it's because their brain is picturing how it's going to feel like getting to the gym and walking in the door.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
And people who are successful and have stuck with a workout plan are thinking about how they feel when they leave the gym. So everyone feels better after a workout, 9.9 times out of 10, unless you're like sick or something like that. But you're always going to feel better when you leave the gym.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
And fit people, people like you and me who go often, are subtly and unconsciously thinking about they're weighing heavier the feeling of leaving the gym and feeling good and accomplished and having your juices flowing and being charged up. And people who struggle are unconsciously weighing the feeling of getting to the gym.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
That's for sure. Right.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
Or at the very least, a window of when it's going to get done. Whether it's 1 or 1.30, like there's got to be some window. This is my workout time.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
It also helps to find out what people like, what they think. Exactly.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
agreed to the gym agreed 100 the convenience factor is really overlooked i always tell people that when they're asking about trying to start a fitness routine i'm like the first i mean ultimately the only thing that's important is that you actually do it and so if something's really inconvenient to the point where you can't or you just don't want to do something like if the gym is too far away or the parking isn't fun or whatever it is right whatever that barrier is if you can't surmount that and you don't go then you could have the best gym in the world you can have the best
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
And it depends where you're coming from. So if you're starting from zero, which a lot of people are, I don't know who your listener base is.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
Mainstream, yeah.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
One way, yeah, one way street. It's not like a conversation.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
I think with fitness, as with pretty much anything, if you want to achieve anything of consequence, you have to use the momentum factor. So if somebody, if you don't have any momentum, if you were injured or you're sick or you haven't worked out for a year or two or whatever it is, then you need to just move. You need to do something. And walking is probably your best bet.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
like your base and people should be doing that all the time anyway people should be moving period like whether you're old or young or heavy or light or man or woman like everyone should be walking a good amount because it's literally how our bodies were designed you know there was like a lot of talk chatter last year about like how walking it isn't enough for a workout plan and
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
No, I get it. It's a trendy name that somebody used to give themselves a little bit of clout, but... Yeah, weighted walking.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
I was doing it with my 28-year-old son for a while. I just put him on my front. 28-year-old son? 28-year-old, 28-pound weight.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
That makes more sense. That would be amazing.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
If at 36 I had a 28-year-old son, period, and then I put him on my front, that would be... It would have worked really well because you're really fit. That would be fantastic, yeah. But no, unfortunately, he's just 28 pounds, not 28 years old.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 420: Liron Kayvan: Simple Strategies for Making Your 2025 Fitness Habits Stick
mood factor of like boosting your mood i think that in itself is worth because it's how we're designed it's like literally in our dna we are designed to walk it's what separates us from the whole animal kingdom pretty much is that we're bipedal when we walk and that's how we're meant to function so we're not gonna we're not gonna work very well if we're not doing these basic things that we're designed for yeah and walking is literally just how we how we're built how our bodies are built

It's a great positive social change. I heard about one called Coffee and Chill. Did you hear about this one? Coffee and chill. Coffee and chill. So they, I guess, I heard it in a cursory way, but someone said that there's a club where everyone like drinks coffee and then goes to the sauna and then gets an ice bath together. Yeah.

And it's definitely like, it's a scene, like from the way the guy was describing it, he was like, oh, there's chicks there and all this type of stuff. But I think, people clearly need, that's like a human thing. Like we need that, especially if you're single, but even if you're not, we need this, we need to do things tribally. Like it's literally how we are.

Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
we do hybrid so we do boxing we do a little bit of like our twist on pilates we do a bunch of weightlifting but the flagship like the the main thing that everyone loves is the combination of weightlifting and boxing so you're getting two very different systems you're getting muscle building you're getting fat burning you're getting you know power and you're getting metabolic conditioning so you're really training to be very well-rounded
Habits and Hustle
Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
That's why we have our twist on it.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
It's been around forever. I love that. I respect that.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
I think they do. It's your show. I don't know.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
Yeah, I agree.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
I think that's really important. Like my protocol always, like my training protocol always has an element of, even though I say I don't like cardio because when I'm talking about cardio, I'm talking about like walking and running on a treadmill, but I play soccer every single week. I box every single week. My heart rate is going up to 180 plus every single, like numerous times a week.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
So being a well-rounded, well-balanced athlete, or just person in general is super crucial. And I think a good group fitness gym will try at least to check those boxes or admit that they only do one thing and that somebody should be training someone.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals

It really taps into a niche though. It's very much a woman's thing. It has no eccentric component, I think. It's very little eccentric. Actually, there are guys, a lot of- It started by a guy, pretty hardcore dude, Mr. Pilates. He was a hardcore German guy.

Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
Without further ado.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
We do a lot of things, but group fitness is a big part of it.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
So I agree with both of the things you said. One, that group fitness is good for the social aspect. And two, that a lot of group fitness is kind of aimlessly running around like a blue ass fly, as we say in London.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
A blue ass fly. I've never heard that. I don't know where it comes from. It's a stupid phrase. It works. For you, maybe, not for me.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
And I do. Yeah, so there is a lot of aimless running around in group fitness. So the thing I would point out is that the... The form of the group fitness is flexible, but the idea of group fitness, meaning people coming together for a shared goal is awesome. And the form of it can be awesome and it can be crap.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
Coffee and chill, right?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
yeah for sure i mean there's definitely downsides um to group fitness because a lot of times you're losing quality for quantity so unless you have a very skilled instructor or you're tailoring the workout very with great expertise you get something very general so you get like I don't actually know about Barry's in Orange Theory. I don't know much, to be honest. You don't?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
No, I'm not that interested in it, to be honest. I basically have the same feeling you have. Not to hate on him. It works for a lot of people and a lot of people love it, especially Barry's. I know people who love Barry's. So it works for them, but I don't know specifically what they do. I'll tell you what they do.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
Counterproductive. It's very, very common. I've heard that many times. To do with cortisol and stress, essentially. Yes.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
P.E. class, I call it. Do you have P.E. class here? Is that what you call it? Yeah, you mean like phys ed? Phys ed, yeah.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
But this is what I'm saying is like it's kind of untargeted. There's a little bit of a sadist kind of vibe to a lot of these group fitness. Again, don't know the specifics on that. Okay, that's true. It's like just punish yourself and then the coach, like people get off on it. It's this weird S&M thing, you know, where the coach is like, can I swear?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
You know, like, whatever. I'm not going to now, but like you, whatever it is, basically the vibe, whether they say it with their words or not, is that you're like some lowly, you know.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
You're not good enough. And then people get off on it. Like I've seen it. There's a, there's a, there's a, I know a lot of people go to a specific gym who really that's the core foundational culture. Really? This S&M thing where the guy. Where is it? I'm not going to name names. Tell me. I'm not going to name names. Is it in LA?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
It's in LA. It's kind of West Hollywood-ish. And they get off on like... They get off on it. And there's a cult around it.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
Yeah. And they love it. And to be fair, it works while they're doing it. But long term, it doesn't. Tell me.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
I'll tell you after. Why? I want to know. I want everyone to know.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
It's not my style. It's not my style. But...
Habits and Hustle
Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
anyway either way what happens is in those classes it's very untargeted it's very not a long-term thing as you were saying right it's not a healthy long-term approach it works while you're doing it as soon as those people stop they're usually fatter than they were just unhealthier than they were they've lost muscle a lot of women lose periods and i'm talking about maybe the the extreme cases because it goes with this it's basically like a form of sort of
Habits and Hustle
Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
like anorexia, bulimia, it's all very negative. You know what I'm saying?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
But that's huge though, Jen. Like that is, you separate the positive and the negative and you take, you don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Yeah. With Barry's I've heard that the big thing, the big draw of Barry's is not the actual workout itself. It's the culture around it.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
So it's like the hot people and it's like a scene and it's a sexy place and everyone feels sexy when they go there or they see other sexy people and they want to be, you know what I'm saying? So that is the emotional driver for people in everything.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
in everything and fitness is absolutely number one for that so it's motivating people to work out so it is positive but I think it's important to separate what people actually what's productive about it and what is not productive it could be improved for sure
Habits and Hustle
Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
I've heard of it again. I don't explain what it is.

Olympic lifting.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals
Especially in a class of 10, 20 people in a state of fatigue too. So that was the biggest thing is you need to be really dialed in for something like that. And because it's a group fitness atmosphere, this is the downside of it. People would be tired. There'd be 20 people in a class. The coach doesn't know who's doing what. And it's a recipe for disaster.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 454: Group Fitness Reality Check: Why F45 and Barry's Bootcamp Might Be Sabotaging Your Goals

Episode 402: Liron Kayvan: The Truth about Plant-Based Diets + Is Creatine Crucial for Aging?
It's the reason why it's so studied and the reason why it's so pumped by the sports industry, by the, you know, the muscle building industry, by even the medical industry is because in nature, we would have it just as part of our, our body, our makeup, because we would eat A healthy society would eat a good amount of red meat. We would hunt and eat a good amount of red meat.

Episode 402: Liron Kayvan: The Truth about Plant-Based Diets + Is Creatine Crucial for Aging?
We would be getting in all the creatine we need naturally. But in modern society where we're divorced from red meat, where most people maybe eat red meat once a week or something like that, then we need to supplement. The only reason why we need to supplement is because we're divorced from our natural habitat and our natural diet. That's the only reason.

And the reason why creatine is good for your hair and good for your muscles and good for your pregnancy and good for your, when you're old and you have Parkinson's or whatever, right? I'm throwing things out. The reason why it's good for everything is because it's such a fundamental part of how we are. It's a building block of everything.

Okay, so I'm going to give a very nuanced and boring answer. No, it's not boring, but it's nuanced.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 402: Liron Kayvan: The Truth about Plant-Based Diets + Is Creatine Crucial for Aging?
There's a pro and con. The pro is I think creatine is the most scientifically studied supplement ever. Genuinely, I think. You can fact check me on this, but I'm pretty sure. It is.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 402: Liron Kayvan: The Truth about Plant-Based Diets + Is Creatine Crucial for Aging?
By far. I think... of all time and it's not just studied by companies trying to sell it to the masses. This is very deep medical practice. If a woman needs to get the birth weight of their baby up, if they're dangerously low birth weight, they'll take creatine. I know people take it for all sorts of brain

Episode 402: Liron Kayvan: The Truth about Plant-Based Diets + Is Creatine Crucial for Aging?
Protein used to be like that, but now we realize protein is for everyone and everyone needs more protein, essentially.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 402: Liron Kayvan: The Truth about Plant-Based Diets + Is Creatine Crucial for Aging?
So a couple of things. As I was saying before, it's the most scientifically studied supplement ever. And it was studied not for like aesthetic, muscular fitness goals. It was studied for medical things. So this is safe and they wouldn't give it to women if it made you unhealthy. So that's the first thing you need to say about it.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 402: Liron Kayvan: The Truth about Plant-Based Diets + Is Creatine Crucial for Aging?
Second, it won't make you fat because it doesn't touch your fat cells. It only touches... It only pulls in water, like hydrogen ions, water into your lean body mass because fat is hydro, whatever, hydrophobic. It doesn't like water. Fat and water separate. So basically it's a water-based supplement. It pulls water into your cells, primarily your muscle cells. So it gives volume to your muscle.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 402: Liron Kayvan: The Truth about Plant-Based Diets + Is Creatine Crucial for Aging?
if you're worried that you're going to swell up so you definitely won't get fat that's that's just something you don't have to worry about at all if you think you're going to swell up and start looking like arnold schwarzenegger realize like that type of muscularity is near impossible for a natural woman women who look overly muscular have either been training for 10 15 20 years or they're taking steroids which a lot of women do so a lot of these fitness people you see at the gym or on social media the females are taking low doses of
Habits and Hustle
Episode 402: Liron Kayvan: The Truth about Plant-Based Diets + Is Creatine Crucial for Aging?
male androgenic anabolic steroids. So you have to realize the smoke and mirrors there. Creatine is a supplement that will not touch your fat cells at all. So you don't have to worry about getting fat at all. It will volumize your lean body mass, which is basically every part of your body that's not fat-based. So that's everything. So it's your eyeballs, it's your muscles, it's your bones.

Episode 402: Liron Kayvan: The Truth about Plant-Based Diets + Is Creatine Crucial for Aging?
So the second point going on from that, the fact that it's safe and it won't make you fat is it's also natural. So creatine is a natural part of red meat, which is what we are. We are red meat. It's part of every muscle fiber in nature. Okay. So it would be abundant. It's abundant in the meats that we eat, or at least red meat. It's naturally there. And it's part of every...
Habits and Hustle
Episode 402: Liron Kayvan: The Truth about Plant-Based Diets + Is Creatine Crucial for Aging?
All the energy systems of our body use creatine. Again, I haven't done any of this AMP stuff for years, so I'm probably butchering it, but it's essentially part of a natural fundamental part of our energy system. So the idea that you shouldn't have creatine in your body is another complete myth. You need creatine in your body. We just have it naturally.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 402: Liron Kayvan: The Truth about Plant-Based Diets + Is Creatine Crucial for Aging?
That's the other side. So I said this was nuanced. These are the positives for creatine.

Episode 402: Liron Kayvan: The Truth about Plant-Based Diets + Is Creatine Crucial for Aging?
So the positives for creatine, let me sum it up.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 402: Liron Kayvan: The Truth about Plant-Based Diets + Is Creatine Crucial for Aging?
So positives of creatine are it's natural, it's safe, it boosts your muscle capability and it boosts your health. The negatives for taking creatine is you don't need to. All you need to do is eat red meat and eat enough red meat. In nature, we've evolved to eat red meat. I'm sure you've had plant-based people on here. Don't care. We evolved to eat red meat. That's how we've evolved.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 402: Liron Kayvan: The Truth about Plant-Based Diets + Is Creatine Crucial for Aging?
It's part of our evolution. You can look at our digestive tract. You can look at our teeth. You can look at our brains. You can look at the size of our colon. We can look at anything. You can look at archaeological records. It all adds up.

I would imagine that creatine, along with a whole host of other supplements, would need to be taken by a plant-based person because it's an unnatural diet, essentially. I'm not saying you shouldn't do it. I'm just saying it's an unnatural diet and it's not the optimal diet.

Like I've done 10 parts on this and I explain and I kind of meander away from the actual kind of lie itself that meat is bad for you and you kind of trace the roots of it and you start to see like big pharma and the big food companies and like people are benefiting from this. And again, we were talking about business issues.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 402: Liron Kayvan: The Truth about Plant-Based Diets + Is Creatine Crucial for Aging?
we're talking about like capitalism business and like, there are people profiting off of this idea that you shouldn't eat meat, you know? And there are also people profiting off the idea that you should be sick. Like being sick is very profitable in America, hugely profitable.

Episode 402: Liron Kayvan: The Truth about Plant-Based Diets + Is Creatine Crucial for Aging?
It's very difficult. Like you need, I mean, I reckon if you're on steroids, you probably don't need as much. So my theory, and this is like maybe wild and whatever, but like I think a lot of the plant-based athletes were probably either built their muscle when they weren't plant-based or So for example, Arnold Schwarzenegger, like Arnold Schwarzenegger spent 70 years eating three steaks a day.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 402: Liron Kayvan: The Truth about Plant-Based Diets + Is Creatine Crucial for Aging?
And then he goes, oh, you know, you don't need so much meat. Like you can go meatless Mondays or whatever. That's a horrible impression.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 402: Liron Kayvan: The Truth about Plant-Based Diets + Is Creatine Crucial for Aging?
But it's like, okay, well, it's all well and good. You being 70 years old and having dominated like Hollywood and the bodybuilding industry, eating three steaks a day and being on steroids. But now you're, now you can say, go meatless Mondays. Like, It's too late. If you did that in your prime, fine.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 402: Liron Kayvan: The Truth about Plant-Based Diets + Is Creatine Crucial for Aging?
So I think one is they either built the muscle with the meat and then once they were just maintaining it, they went plant-based and so that was okay. Two is they're on steroids.

telling the body, no, no, no, no, no, we're not having this thing X, Y, Z. And then eventually the body, because it has to, rebels and forces the brain, the person to binge because it's been suppressed for so long. So it actually makes sense. The body is saying, I don't know when I'm going to be able to have these nutrients in this pizza. You said nine pizzas, right?
Habits and Hustle

I don't know when you're going to let me have pizza, so I'm going to stuff away nine of them. So you get this extreme swing to swing and the way to combat that, the actual solution to that problem is to find the middle ground where you actually just eat what you want and you start to eat intuitively. And I think the biggest specific nutrient that people are missing is saturated fat.

Also, what often happens is if you burn 500 calories, sometimes what will happen is for the rest of the day, your body will just shut down 499 calories of your metabolism.

For some reason, people really seem to. I think most people that I know seem to be able to do the workout part. There's rare people where it's the opposite. But most people seem to be able to do the workout part, but they just cannot get the nutrition part together. And I don't know why.

I mean, think about it though, it is literally your primary drive in life. Like a child's first drive, after they breathe, is to eat. That's what they want more than anything else. So it's so deep in our DNA, the drive for food, that if you're not a foodie on some level, if you don't love food, there's something wrong with you.

Episode 398: Liron Kayvan: What Fitness Trends Aren’t Telling You About Getting in Shape
And I've done this on the podcast too, but... My theory is that we're all like that. And that's not an individual. I think people often personalize eating problems. They think it's a personal issue. And I think to some extent, almost all of Western, particularly American society has the same problem you have.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 398: Liron Kayvan: What Fitness Trends Aren’t Telling You About Getting in Shape
And so they feel like they're obsessed with food and they're always craving things and they're going to have to fight their desires. But my theory on it, and it's been tested, this isn't just me pulling it out of the sky, is that you're not obsessed with food.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 398: Liron Kayvan: What Fitness Trends Aren’t Telling You About Getting in Shape
you're not and i'm not talking about you specifically people aren't so so much that they're obsessed with food they have an unhealthy obsession it's that their body is asking for nutrients and so the cravings are actually adaptive and they're telling you i want something and the less you give it into it the longer that goes and the more sort of extreme so that's where binging comes from binging comes from this suppression this artificial suppression from the head down

I think your gut even eats certain types of fiber. It literally like pulls energy from the fiber itself. So your gut needs the fiber just to like function well.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
Also in nature, again, it goes back to like my nature kind of binding philosophy for nutrition. Like in nature, fiber is everywhere. You know, every plant has some type of fiber in nature. It's only when we live in our modern world that we have the ability to mechanically get rid of fiber that we're not getting enough.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?

Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
Yeah, especially with regard to like protein. I think people need to eat more actual food to avoid snacks. And that's why I always go back to the jungle analogy. Like if you stick to actual food, like how you would eat in the jungle. If you stick to actual food, you'll find yourself satiated a lot more. but like more with more consistency and a lot faster.

The reason why they are, why are they, why do you have to add color to these made in a lab foods? Because otherwise your brain will be like, that's bullshit. I don't want that. That has no nutrients in it. But with the color, all of a sudden your brain's like, Oh, give me some of that. Right.

I'm going to say no. And the reason I'm going to say no is because, look, you have to get out of this idea. By you, I mean everyone, people listening. And I tell my clients, I tell my family, I tell everyone, like, you can't be so naive. Their job, the restaurant's job, food company's job is not to make you healthy. Their job is to make them profit. And I understand that. Like I'm a businessman.

Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
I am not expecting them to make me healthy. Okay. It's not going to happen. They are going to make as much profit for themselves as possible. So provided they're not overtly poisoning you and you don't never go back or give a bad review on Yelp or whatever, it's not going to hurt their bottom line.

And I looked and it's not even in fine print, but these are in big industrial crates that they get. And it said 75% canola, 25% olive oil. So it was an olive oil blend. And it's three quarters olive. Canola oil, which is seed oil.

Look, if I were the president, which I'll never be because I'm an immigrant. I'm not allowed to be president. But if I was president, I would pass a law stating, like saying that things like the olive oil thing would be illegal. If you say it's olive oil, it has to be 100% pure olive oil. But...

Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
It's a small percentage of olive oil, yeah.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
It should at least be 51%. It's no mission. It will be years. I think we should start moving in that process. So I'm happy that we banned red, whatever the hell it is. But these companies are going to be as low as they can legally get away with, or at least that makes sense for their business. That's what you have to expect.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
You have to expect almost nothing from these companies because their job is to make profit. And we should change the law so that the low bar that we have, the extremely low bar, especially in America, in England, where I'm from, artificial food coloring has been banned for decades.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
The bar is on the floor. The FDA, what I will say is the FDA, I'm pretty sure, I think it's well known that they're a very, corrupt organization. So I would probably, instead of going after each individual food company, I would look more at the structure of the FDA because they, their job is overtly not to make profit. Their job is to protect and serve and benefit the people.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
And so I don't think they're doing their job. So if I was to go after anyone, I wouldn't go after California Chicken Cafe because I don't think what they're doing is even illegal. I think I would go, A, it's more practical to go to the top and try to change the laws from the top. And B, they're saying- They're trying to do that.

protein is like the number one.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
Again, I think that one goes down, I talk about this a lot, but it goes down to evolution. Like we've evolved to eat protein. So our guts are like protein seeking machines, you know? And so when they register the amino acids, like that umami flavor of protein, it's just extremely satiating because that's literally just how we're built.

Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
You need fats, carbs, and proteins. At some point, you're going to need to check all those boxes.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
technically i think the only one that is not essential like from a scientific perspective is carbs because you technically don't need carbs to survive because your body will create carbs out of protein or fat like gluconeogenesis and stuff but in practice everyone needs it and also if you're an athlete and you're working out you also need it for performance your performance is going to suffer
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
tremendously your mental health suffers tremendously without carbs because it boosts serotonin and stuff you feel better so practically speaking you definitely need some formal carbs some formal fat some formal protein and trying to like shortcut or like cheat the system by just getting rid of one It's a nice idea.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
And a lot of people, especially with carbs, because you lose water weight, they'll lose 10 pounds in a week. And they're like, Oh, I'm a winner. Yeah, but you lost water and maybe some muscle. And actually, you're less healthy than you were when you were 10 pounds heavier. So totally agree with you're cheating yourself really.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
Don't want to lose fat and lose muscle at the same time. You only want to lose fat.

Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
But your muscles are made of water. So you're kind of losing muscle in a way.

Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
Not animal protein. Like fake, possibly protein shakes. I doubt it even with protein shakes if they're animal-based, meaning dairy protein. I doubt it. But like natural, basically natural sources of protein, not a chance. Not a chance. I don't believe it for a split second.

I would advise that.

Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
Yeah. If you isolate too much, again, I think protein shakes have their place and I will have them from time to time and I will tell clients to have them.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
Especially if they're learning to get their protein up and they're trying to get their gut to adjust to a high protein diet, which in the early phases, protein is fantastic. Protein shakes have their place, okay?

Convenience factor.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
Which we've spoken about in other podcasts. Convenience is an underrated facet of fitness that people need to factor into what they're doing. Things have to work functionally and they have to be convenient for you.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
So I think not focusing on food quality and also not enjoy. I think the biggest one now is like not enjoying their food, like not factoring that in. And again, this kind of flies in the face of what most people are told. But my theory is
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
i'm really fleshing this out so this might sound a little bit jumbled but like i think your brain has a certain let's say pleasure point principle where it wants to get a certain amount of pleasure from food and if it doesn't get that amount of pleasure from food it will kind of force you to binge later on so so essentially what's happening is that your brain is seeking pleasure from food and if it doesn't register that pleasure from food
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
it will keep asking for more and more food. So by only eating things that people don't enjoy or not consciously enjoying the food that they're eating, they're setting themselves up for failure because their body and their brain is kind of storing a little craving for later. It's like, wait a minute, I didn't actually enjoy that. You better pay me back later.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
I think it's definitely better to have a more balanced approach. But then ultimately, the truth of it is that you probably should have given yourself the grapes in the first place. And then maybe you would have only had four or five pounds as opposed to nine.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
And that's why things like if it fits your macros and stuff, I don't think people bother with that anymore, but that used to be a thing. If it fits your macros, meaning just as long as you're eating your macros, it doesn't matter. The problem with that is if you're eating Twinkies as your carb source. Mm-hmm.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
you're going to go, you're not going to be able to stick to 200 grams of carbs a day or whatever it is because, you know, you're just going to rifle through those so fast because they provide no actual nutrition. So your body is still craving nutrients and therefore you're going to overeat those foods. So calories in, calories out is completely non-growthful. That's how it works.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
Like you cannot, that's just a mathematical law of the universe. If your calories in more than your calories out, you will store weight. Whether that's muscle or fat is, is, potentially negotiable depending on what you're eating.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
No, that's just a fact. It's like gravity. That's just how it works.

There's no point arguing about it.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
I think where the conversation becomes more interesting and nuanced is where you start to talk about, you start to break that down and talk about what does calories in mean versus what does calories out mean. I mean, first of all, you would have to absorb the calories in.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
So if your body, for some reason, decides it doesn't want to absorb those calories, if your gut says, you know what, I'm not absorbing these calories, I'm going straight out, then technically that's not calories in. It went into your mouth, but it didn't go into your body. So that's not something that happens all the time. But again, it...
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
It's like, where does that calories in versus calories out equation become relevant? What does calories out mean? Does it only mean walking? No. Your calories out could be growing your hair. It could be your reproductive system. It could be your digestive system. It could be your immunity.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
So it's so insanely complex, that thing, that to try to reduce it to a mathematical formula that we can predict... is on the flip side to it is you're not really going to be able to do that long term. It's too complex, but you have to be aware that that is how it works.

I actually don't believe in calorie counting.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
I think the biggest, the reason why that works is because most people are just not aware. They don't even know. They have no idea. There's no awareness. They didn't even realize that they ate this thing. They wouldn't remember it. And this has been studied, by the way, like people are so bad at knowing how much and what they're eating.

And the whole other thing, but America is definitely on the lower end of food quality. So there's a lot of countries you can go to where... everything's fresh, there's very low additives. And so you can partake of the local cuisine a lot, a lot more guilt free than in the kind of more Western world. It really just depends where you're going.

I know what you mean. Actually, I don't ever really crave beer and potato chips. It's not a craving of mine, really. Beer once in a while. But whenever I get on a plane and I see someone order beer and potato chips, I'm like, I really want that. And it's something about being on the plane and the boredom factor. Or I'm like, I need something, you know. Yeah. I get that. I get what you're saying.

It definitely slows down your digestive system too. Like your gut tends to freeze up. I think also traveling at an unnatural speed across, you know, you're changing time zones. Like that is gonna, and it's not just on the plane, but like the actual flight is going to mess up your circadian rhythm for at least a day, depending on how far you go. Like when I go to London, Like three days after.

My body, I'm waking up at the wrong time. My digestive system is off. My energy levels are off because of that jet lag too. So it's like the sitting down in a plane, eating crap, and then also having jet lag is a big kind of perfect storm to derail your fitness.

Yeah, actually, I love working out on vacation. I absolutely love it. Like, it's got harder since I had the second kid because it's hard to leave two kids with my wife and then go work out. But I used to, like, up until this summer, we went to Italy. It was the first time I didn't work out for two weeks. I think...
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
since i started working out i all whenever we go on vacation even long like two week trips i'll always like sneak off to a hotel or find a new gym in town actually i love it because i'll go to a new part of town it'll be very very different i get a lot of inspiration different machines different gym culture different like you know you can people i i love working out on vacation but to me that's not even an option like it's not even an option to me like i said

Are you talking about like work trips?

Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
I'm guessing you have to plan ahead for these things too.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
Because you have to find, like say you do want to find a gym.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
You have to see, does my hotel have a gym? If not... Can I schedule a couple of hours to go and find a gym somewhere and make it stay on, you know, stay on my routine? The other factor is when you, especially with regard to work, if you know you're going to function better, like your brain and body is going to function better when you're working out, then it's a performance booster.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
And so therefore it's actually part of your work.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
That's a big thing you just mentioned. And I think in general, whether you're on a work trip or a pleasure trip or whatever it is, whenever you're traveling, seeing fitness as part of the travel, as part of the trip, like not that divorcing psychologically your health and fitness from the trip, but making it part of it. Meaning, so like to be specific, when I went to Italy, right?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
Everyone says with Italy, oh, you have to have pizza, you have to have pasta, you have to have gelato. And it's fantastic. The pizza, pasta, and gelato are fantastic. But I don't want to live off that for two weeks. I'm not going to enjoy it. So I go to the grocery store every day in Italy. And that was a really cool experience.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
First of all, you're getting to know the country better and the people better because you're living like a normal person. That's how normal people eat. Italians don't eat at a restaurant three times a day. They don't. They're just like everyone else. They go to a grocery store. But their grocery stores are a million times better than American ones. Same thing with London.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
Yeah, fresh fruits, like the deli section is incredible. All these amazing cheeses and sun-dried tomatoes and olives. So it was an amazing experience for me. And... I got to stick to my health. I didn't really need, I had a couple of days where I had loads of pizza and pasta and stuff, but in general, that's not my thing. And I stuck to my thing.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
I stuck to my stuff and it was super easy, super enjoyable. I did not feel like I was deprived from my travel at all because I embedded my fitness and my health into my travel.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
Yeah, it's unnecessary. But even to go even further and say like, I don't think the trade-off is as much as people think. Like, it depends on what your diet is. I love my diet. I love eating healthier, which to most people sounds like, yeah, they kind of roll their eyes and they're like, of course you love eating healthy. You just like, you're lying to yourself. I don't, I'm not.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
I eat the foods that I enjoy.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
And so like going to a grocery store, I actually find more enticing than going to a restaurant because I don't buy into the whole restaurant thing. I don't think restaurants are as good as people make them out to be. I think they just don't, they're not connected with their food.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
I haven't seen anyone eat out more than 50% of their meals and be in the shape they want to be. I have never seen it. Maybe you can, I think it's possible to eat out a bit and eat out a good amount and still be fit. But I haven't seen anyone eat out more than 50% of their meals.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
Having said that, I think you can do a little bit of research. But again, there's the trade-off. You actually have to put a little bit more effort and focus into it. But if you do a little research into where you're eating and what you're eating and what the options are, you're going to be a lot better off.

Supplements. I mean, the basic thing, and I think people know this, most people know this, but if you don't, just good to remind yourself, is like, you kind of want a pyramid. Think of like maybe a three-tiered pyramid. And you want, you know, the foundation, the fundamentals to be like training and nutrition. And then as you go up, you know, sleep, or maybe sleep is the foundation.

Okay, well, I'll take Dr. Stacey Sims' word for it.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 456: Why Half Your Supplements Are Probably Useless (And Which 4 Actually Matter)
I'm not sure exactly where I was. But creatine I take. And I think with things like creatine, what's awesome about creatine is because it's such a foundational building block of like everything in our body, because it's part of the energy system, the ATP system. Anyway, don't want to go too far into the science. And I also don't know it that well. Right.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 456: Why Half Your Supplements Are Probably Useless (And Which 4 Actually Matter)
But I know it's a foundational kind of building block for a lot of your processes in the body. So it has multiple benefits. Like all boats rise with the tide. It's not just for muscles. It's not just for your brain. It's not just for your energy. It's not just for, you know, they give it to women to increase their baby's birth weight.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 456: Why Half Your Supplements Are Probably Useless (And Which 4 Actually Matter)
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So when you have a supplement, my point is that when you have a supplement that does just these really wide ranging, has these really wide ranging benefits, chances are it's because your body is supposed to have it naturally. And if you were eating as nature intended, you probably wouldn't need to supplement so much because- Well, you can find creatine, I believe.

I think that's about it. Actually, alpha-GPC is a form of choline, which is naturally present in eggs. So it helps with brain performance. If you were to eat a diet rich in choline, which I think eggs and liver are some of the main sources, you probably wouldn't need it as much. But I'm just not eating as much as I usually do. So I'm supplementing with alpha-GPC.

right there's a big mismatch i think there's a direct correlation between delayed gratification and your ultimate happiness right because when you have to work for something and like see it through and and develop patience right it and once you get it you feel so much more satiated and like that you earned it and it lasts that that's that satisfaction lasts a lot longer

It's because they have no real sense of reality anymore, right?

I think it also depends on when you get famous. If you get famous really early on in life, it's really a problem.

Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
You grew up with that fame. And so it distorts your idea of what's real.

Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
Right. Like Britney Spears, Michael Jackson. I mean, these people have had crazy experiences with life because it's so pseudo-reality. It's not real. Right. If you're somebody who worked really hard and had a lot of failure and had to be resilient and had to kind of get back up over and over again.

Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
It is a good thing. Because like we just finished saying, like instant gratification. If you just like, if you came out to LA and you hit the first movie you got, like you came off the boat or the bus from Ohio and you got the first movie or first gig and then boom, you're super famous. It's probably not so great for your psyche, right? Yeah.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
But if you actually got here and you tried out for a movie, didn't get it, and then you're like, oh shit, okay, I got to go through the grind and I have to do all these auditions and I have to be rejected over and over and over again.

But I will say there's something to be said for people who are like a glutton for punishment also, right? I think there are different types, right?

Habits and Hustle
Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
I think the people who are doing it for the right reasons, who they become is very different than the people who just do it for fame. The problem is anybody can be famous today, right? Like if you have a big social media account, I know a lot of these people who just like buy 10 million followers, right? And then they leverage this fake number to become famous.

Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success

I'll tell you how it works. You overprice everything. People find that there's value if they're paying too much for it.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
If you underprice something or whatever, people think that like, ah, it's not worth it as much. Like even for trainers, right? If I put a price tag on me that says I'm $500 an hour, it's the perception of value. Yeah. If she's $500 an hour, she must be really good versus that $80 an hour trainer at LA Fitness. He can't be as good when it's just all fucking lies.

And then they go back home and tell their friends back in Ohio or Kansas. And so when they come, they want to go. And then they're telling all their friends. While this is all happening, people are still posting about it, like people who are well-known, famous, influencers, celebrities, having pictures of their meals at a particular place. And then it becomes like a cumulative effect, right?

Like, anybody can be famous if they have a big following now on social media. And I'm not talking, like, 100,000 people. I mean, even that could be good.

Habits and Hustle
Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
Well, I think a part of it too is I probably have a little bit of OCD in general, to be honest, and ADD. The combo of ADD and OCD makes you hyper-focused and become obsessed. I believe anything you want to be really good at, you have to have a level of obsession and audacity. The combination of obsession and audacity is very, very necessary.

Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
Maybe. Maybe.

Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
How to succeed. Well, I think that ADD is a precursor for obsession, right?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
That's so interesting because for the longest time, like, first of all, if you really look at people who have ADD, most of the people that I know who have ADD grew up, they may have been really bad students because they didn't thrive in that academic school environment. But they thrived in like their entrepreneurial endeavors, their career and other things. Like it actually worked.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
Like to me, ADD is like a superpower, right? Like does it like hinder my life with terms of administrative work and getting shit done operationally? Yes. But if I didn't have my ADD-ness, I wouldn't have been able to have gone as far as I've gone.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
Because when you have it and you find something that you're super in love with or obsessed with or passionate about, you're able to focus so highly on that thing and go so into it. And you basically supersede all these other things because of it.

No.

Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
I think there's pros and cons to both. Me being bored easily has pushed me to be able to seek and be curious to find and do other things. But it's also hindered me and hurt me in other things where probably being a little bored would have helped me. Right. Like, you know, it happens a lot with people like me, where people who have ADD, you start a lot of things and you don't finish them. Right.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
That's a big thing. Right. Or, you know, relationships like you are like super like into it. And then you like kind of lose interest because it's like now not as exciting because like unless something keeps the excitement up.

Oh, so you just have like a factoid.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
Listen, I'm no expert on it. I'm also self-diagnosed. I think people like use the word ADD and they throw it around super loosely now. Like,

Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
Yeah, like, oh, I'm so ADD, I can't do that.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
Yeah. Like, I think most people who think they're ADD, and by the way, I'm not even excluding myself from this, you know, are probably not ADD, right? And like you said earlier, I think that, like, before in time, it was not, like, something that was so focused on, but now everyone's focused on it. It's such a trending word.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
And it's also an excuse for people sometimes to kind of be less than or to not work as hard or to be like people use it as a crush.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
Exactly. I think that the problem is when you label anything, then you can fall on that title or label to excuse bad behavior. I just did it myself. I'm like, well, because I'm ADD, I lose interest in that. And that's not a good thing, right?

Well, what do you think about children who are now being put on medication for ADD at 10 years old, 8 years old?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
It's great for big pharma.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
It's great for big pharma. You know what, though? I have a problem with it because I think it's a problem when you put a child on medication. How? Especially because you're dimming the things that make them who they are, and then they get reliant on this medication, and then that's a medication they're going to be on for 40, 50, 60, 80 years.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
And anything that you put yourself on medication-wise, your body becomes acclimated, and then you have to constantly up the dose. So why the fact that you start children on something like that for a thing that may or may not even be, you know, because for a thing that actually could have really benefited them in real life, right? Right.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
I think, though, I'm actually shocked at how many people are putting their children on ADHD medication at a really young age. I don't know if it's just an L.A. thing or what, but I think what's happening is all these kids are now going to therapy really young. When parents don't know how to parent their children, they're like, I'm going to take them to a therapist.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
And then the therapist diagnoses them with ADD or ADHD. And then like the next thing is like, well, they should be on medication for it. And that becomes like the slippery slope where then that becomes who that child is. That becomes who the children identify as. And then that's their crutch for anything in life. Yeah.

I also think it's become much more common now than it was before, like when I was a kid, right?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
The diagnosis has become more common. Taking children's therapy is much more common. Like instead of like kind of like, Instead of just kind of like figuring it out on your own and like just kind of, you know, or trying to create coping skills and coping mechanisms by going through challenges and difficult times.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
The go-to now is like, oh, I'm going to take my kid to a therapist and let them deal with it and then talk it through and talk it out and talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Too much talking. Right. Too much of this emotional ability to kind of like keep on like... Especially going into the past as well.

Hey friends, you're listening to Fitness Friday on the Habits & Hustle podcast where myself and my friends share quick and very actionable advice for you becoming your healthiest self. So stay tuned and let me know how you leveled up. Before we dive into today's episode, I first want to thank our sponsor, Therasage. Their tri-light panel has become my favorite biohacking thing for healing my body.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
No, but I'm talking about these kids who are super young, like who are not even like they're prepubescent kids who are like... Or in therapy, like once to five times, once to three times a week, like to feel their feelings, which I really believe is the opposite of what you should be doing. Like, I think when you feel your feelings to that extent, it actually could be detrimental.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
And it also ends up making the kid ruminate on these things and problems that they may have. Yeah. versus just like kind of like moving through them. Because at that age, like, yeah, you'll have a problem. But if you're not focused on it, the kid will eventually like focus on something else or do something else.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
And as opposed to like, just like this hyper focus on like what your issue is and who you are badly or not badly, like people are just are too like,
Habits and Hustle
Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
I guess it's part of the culture we're in, which is this caudal culture of you're so scared of doing X and Y, and so you just bring in an expert or a therapist, or you want to give them a safe space, or you don't like that trigger, and all these things.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
So again, though, the other thing I think is interesting is like therapy is expensive. So is this kind of just like a first world problem? It's like, hey, you know, I have excess money. I'm just going to throw it to a therapist for $200, $300. Because let's not even talk about the fact that no one takes insurance anymore. That's a whole other problem, right? Like no one is taking insurance.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
So this is all out-of-pocket expenses usually. Yeah. And so, like, yeah, if you have the extra money, like, why not? I'll just do that. But the average Joe doesn't have $300 to throw at a therapist for their kids.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
100%. That's exactly what I think. I mean, like, I don't know, like, I really keep on saying this, but I feel like I belong in a different era at a different time. Like, I want to go back to living in 1996. A lot less for that, right?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
And where, you know, I just, I was forced to be bored. No one was like overscheduling my life. And I wasn't told I have to go see a therapist because I'm emotionally like irregulated when it's just me being mad that I didn't get the toy I wanted. Right. Or whatever it is. I think like less is more. Yeah. You know?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
But just to kind of wrap up on this ADD thing, I find that interesting because it's not just kids. I also think it's obviously adults. And even I said, oh yeah, I think I have ADD. Like I said, I'm self-diagnosed. But I always, I want to really kind of hammer home the point that I think whoever you are, whatever you have, you can make that work for yourself and make that your superpower.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 404: Liron Kayvan on ADD: Misdiagnosis, Overmedication and Strategies for Channeling it for Success
So if you are somebody who, you know, does have ADD and like has trouble focusing, you know, that can work to your advantage too. Like everything can work to your advantage. It's all about how you frame it in your head and how you reframe it, right? Like nobody's better or worse than anybody.
