Amazing.
Oh, incredible. I mean, alcohol is such a, it's poisonous. I mean, many people have highlighted the fact that there are studies showing that even an average of one drink per day thins the neocortex of your brain. So it's just not a great thing for humans. And I'm not trying to pretend that I'm a saint or that I think people should be held to impossible standards.
And I think enjoying your life is part of it. But for me, the value equation with alcohol doesn't compute. The calculus isn't there, yeah.
In Costa Rica, it's mostly surfing. And then I still dabble in martial arts. So when I was in medical school, I did a moderate, I did a bunch of nogi jiu-jitsu for about two years. And I've kind of, started to do a little bit of striking Muay Thai boxing and I'm not proficient in any of it by any means, but I like it.
So when I'm not surfing, if I want to work out, I have a Muay Thai bag in my house and some mats and I might train a little bit in terms of the martial arts stuff. I like movement, whether it's like surfing or I love the technicalities of movement and boxing and, you know, kinetic chess and jujitsu and wrestling. So sometimes I'll do that. I don't lift a lot of weights.
Because I'm not trying to get bulky. I don't want, not that lifting weights makes you bulky, but I think that I just have a physique that stays muscular without a lot of weights. So I'll do pull-ups. I like things that lengthen my body. I like body weight exercises. I like the way that a pull-up feels because I can feel my spine release and kind of lengthen after sitting during the day.
So I'll do pull-ups. I might do 20 pull-ups a day. I'm nothing crazy. I'm not like Goggins. I'm not doing 1,000 pull-ups a day or anything. Yeah, yeah. I like mobility. I like squatting. I like banded mobility for my shoulders. Like I said, I skateboard sometimes on my ramp, which is just kind of fun.
Yeah.
Yeah. I sprint sometimes on the beach, but when I go to a gym, when I'm traveling, I hit the punching bag. That's just what I like to do. Yeah. In addition to looking for raw milk everywhere I go, I now have to look for punching bags. And that's harder and harder because the gyms don't have punching bags.
And sometimes I get stuck at Lifetime with this crappy punching bag, but it's better than nothing. And I travel with my boxing gloves everywhere.
Yeah, I can go to restaurants on dates and stuff. I'm single, you know. If I'm going on a date with a woman, I can go to a restaurant. I just want to know they don't cook in seed oils, so I don't get to the restaurant and decide not to eat anything. Because if a restaurant cooks in seed oils, I will not eat at the restaurant.
I will not eat food cooked in seed oils. I'm fairly hard on that line. So I can go to restaurants sometimes. And when I'm traveling in the States, if I'm on a date with a woman, I might go to a restaurant. And I try to like, the circadian rhythm stuff is probably the most impactful with regard to socializing because I like to try and go to sleep at the same time every night.
But I was just in DC for the inauguration at the Maha Ball and another ball. And I was happy to completely tank my circadian rhythm by staying up until one in the morning, but I know, and this is actually what happens when I wake up in the morning, I feel foggy, I don't feel great, I have to get a workout before I feel, I know that the next day I'm not as productive, I'm not as sharp.
And this comes from training jujitsu, I think, in medical school, thinking, I'm going to be on a mat with a guy who wants to break my arm, destroy my knee, or choke me unconscious. Like, I'm going to show up to that as sharp as possible. So I'm always thinking, like, what's the return on this investment?
I'm willing to stay out late if I really feel like it's great friends and I want to connect with people. I'm not willing to make bad, quote-unquote, choices with regard to food. But I am willing to flex the circadian rhythm some. But I try to...
really just show up as good as I can every day in the world because it's much less fun to surf when I'm kind of foggy from staying up too late the night before. I just try to bring my friends to me by creating a fun environment and hang out with my friends earlier and say, hey, can we go to dinner at 5 and not 7.30 or 8 o'clock at night? But it is just kind of give and take.
And I have great friends. And sometimes people ask me this online. They say, well, how do you do that? Isn't that hard to make friends? And I think, look, if somebody doesn't want to be friends with me because I don't drink or smoke or any of these things, our values are not aligned. It's not going to be a great friendship anyway. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I am not a hermit. I like humans.
I like talking to humans. I value relationships, both friendship relationships and romantic relationships. I value all of that. It's just kind of this, I just probably put the dial a little more toward being boring and square than most people do.
Sometimes I go to restaurants.
What's that? At home in Costa Rica?
