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. It's a portable red light panel that I simply cannot live without. I literally bring it with me everywhere I go. And I personally use their red light therapy to help reduce inflammations in places in my body where, honestly, I have pain. You can use it on a sore back, stomach cramps, shoulder, ankle, red light therapy is my go-to.
Plus, it also has amazing anti-aging benefits, including reducing signs of fine lines and wrinkles on your face, which I also use it for. I personally use Therasage Trilight everywhere and all the time. It's small, it's affordable, it's portable, and it's really effective.

And hello Liron. Liron is a soccer player slash fitness trainer who is someone I always work out. Well, I used to work out with you. Did I ever really? Yeah, we worked out.
We talk about fitness a lot. We talk mostly about fitness and mostly about just other stuff in general. That's probably only 5% of our conversations are about fitness. Oh my God, you know what? That's actually true. I don't even think we actually do talk about fitness. Very little. We just gloss over it and carry on. Which is funny because I like... When we do, we record it, you know? When we do, I was going to say, usually like we actually only talk about it during these like Fitness Friday episodes. We don't really talk about it like outside of the Fitness Friday episodes. Well, I think it's important to have a life too. Good point. Balance. Balance. Okay, first of all, balance is such a misnomer. I don't even think balance exists.
No, it doesn't. It's something you can strive towards, but I don't think you ever actually get it. I just think that when you put that pressure on yourself that, oh, we have to strive for balance, balance, balance, that word balance. It gives people anxiety like, oh, shit, I'm not balanced. Am I balanced? Yeah. Is my work-life balance perfect? Am I playing enough? Am I working enough? No, yeah. You're never in that state. It never happens. You're always unbalanced in some way. Well, I think anything that you, I don't know, maybe this isn't for everybody, but for me, when I like something, I go so far into it and I'm so hyper-focused that there is no such thing as balance. I think most successful people have that too. They get a little bit obsessed about things. Yeah. It's like a healthy obsession.
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. This is your next book, Jen? Maybe. Maybe. How to succeed with ADD. How to succeed. Well, I think that ADD is a precursor for obsession, right? There's actually a study, sorry to interject, but there was a study that said that there's a gene for ADD. And what they found is that that gene, when you look at like primitive people, like tribesmen and, you know, people, cavemen, essentially like modern day hunter gatherers, that gene made them really good at hunting and gathering.
So it was actually a very adaptive gene and it made them very successful in their tribe. What gene? Something like GNP403. You know what I mean? It's a very specific gene that is either associated or causes ADD. So they have mapped this out. They can see where ADD is in the brain and some people are predisposed towards it.
