We can find it in, you know, we can pretend that we, you know, that we're secular. But ultimately, when you look into how someone lives their lives, there's a religion in their life, like something in their life becomes a religion.

what's been very interesting to me as I've gotten older and I've started to focus more on having a relationship with God, that the more consistent that relationship is, the more at peace and in tune I found my life to be. And that is not revolutionary information.

You know, that's been said a million, probably a hundred million times over the course of, you know, since Jesus, but it is 100% true that like, I find myself the most at peace when I am properly aligned with things that I consider bigger than myself, if that makes sense.

And when it's about, you know, when it's about God, when it's about my community, when it's about, you know, taking responsibility for the people in my company and making sure they're taken care of. And all of a sudden it's like, miraculously, you don't need those things. Like your body just doesn't literally doesn't crave them.

And, you know, I, you know, we haven't gone through these journeys, um, like One, have you found that? And two, how do you cultivate that in your life? It seems like you might be going through it right now.

When I'm, you know, just felt very lost, you know, rudderless, like it was the first time in my life I didn't know the next thing that I wanted to do. Like I didn't know, okay, I've always kind of known how I want to contribute to whatever I wanted to do. And I literally don't know right now, right? I'm purposeless at that moment. Maybe outside of making sure my kids were happy.

I'm used to, you know, vitamin D deficiency. I'm used to the winter blues that happens up here, which is a very real thing.

So, like, I'm used to what that feels like and how to navigate that. And, dude, it was like I hit a brick wall. I couldn't get out of bed, no libido, no energy, did not want to go to the gym, nothing. Like, and I'm a seven-day-a-week guy when I'm dialed in, like, you know, in terms of working out.

So I take this at-home testosterone test through one of the companies that actually Huberman recommends. And I find my testosterone is in the seventh percentile of men. The seventh. Basically, I'm at zero. And... And... Like, so I call my doctor and I'm like, you know, at this point I'm 43. I'm like, I'm 43 years old, like pretty fit guy.
