 The next question is from Alyssa Day Book. Can you become dependent on supplements such as multivitamins or is that a myth? It depends on the supplement. Multivitamins, no. Like if you're- Anything that your body naturally produces on its own and then you take it through a supplement, absolutely. Yeah, a lot of that stuff, you get what's called a negative feedback loop, right? So like hormones, for example, if you take a hormone, your body may stop producing that hormone. If you drink caffeine or take caffeine, because of the way caffeine affects the body, it attaches to particular receptors. Your body then starts to down-regulate their receptors and turn them off. This is why when you have caffeine the first time, you feel so much of it and then later you need more and more of a higher dose to even get that effect. But other things, not really like if, you know, like vitamin C or B vitamins or vitamin D, stuff like that, no, your body utilizes it or doesn't and doesn't really, you don't become dependent on them. Fish oils and natural components like that. No, either. Dependent, I would wanna know more what he means by dependent too, right? Are we talking about dependent because you're addicted to it or dependent because the body now stops producing it like you're- And you need it. Right. So I'd want a little bit of clarification on what they mean by dependent because to that, you know, back to the testosterone point, like I'm taking testosterone so absolutely my body's gonna down-regulate its natural. If I was already low, I'll be even lower because I'm now taking it, you know, exogenous. So for sure. But you're not gonna be dependent as like addicted to it to where you have to take it. Yeah, but the body does have a lot of these mechanisms. Cholesterol is a great example. So you can eat cholesterol and what'll happen is your liver will produce less to balance it out. So, and this is a wonderful mechanism the human body has. A lot of animals don't do this, by the way. Old studies on cholesterol use rabbits. They would give them a high cholesterol diet and the rabbit's cholesterol would go so high. It'd be scary. Doesn't really happen with humans, which is why they've removed cholesterol off that, you know, nutrients of concern list. So a lot of compounds don't do that and others do, it depends on what you're talking about. But like, if something has a profound effect on you, if you take like an herb, for example, like you take horny goatweed, that's a good one. And you're like, oh my God, my libido is boosted. I could feel, man, I could really feel this working. Keep taking it and you'll probably notice that it has a diminishing effect. Now, all that being said, I still think that, I still think there's some things that we don't fully know yet and there's stuff that I know we can talk about that we've seen in our experience with somebody who gets most of their nutrients through whole foods versus supplementing on time just seem to do better. They do. So, and, you know, there's some theories around that, but there's some things that I think that we don't still fully know why that is, that you just don't get this. There's some delivery system there. There's, for some reason, the way we were supposed to consume those nutrients is still superior than to how we figured it out through vitamins. Find, show me in nature where you would find pure vitamin C with nothing else. There's nothing else, no cofactors, no sugars, no fibers, no other compounds, right? You don't find isolated nutrients in nature. It always comes with a lot of different things. So, yeah, you know, you take an iron from food, you'll absorb it differently. You're less likely to build toxic levels of iron, same thing with other nutrients and compounds, so that's a great, now here's the problem. Someone's like, oh, well, I'd rather have it from food, but then they don't eat good. So now you've gotten the worst of both worlds. Well, I think it's, yeah, and I think it's different in today's age with all the fortification of vitamins and minerals that make its way into almost everything versus like back in the day where people would have rickets or from real deficiencies because it just wasn't available in the diet and things. So I think back then it mattered a lot more in terms of like getting certain vitamins and nutrients, but today they pretty much stuff it in most foods. That's why salt has iodine. You ever notice that? Just regular old table salt? They literally made it like a rule that you had to add it in the salt because people had iodine deficiencies. I mean, at the end of the day, I think there's tremendous value in everybody listening, doing blood work and getting a full panel and seeing where you're at. That's the best. And because, and do that a couple of times so you get a, you know, and spread it out so you can get kind of an idea of what you're, more than likely there'll be some consistent things that you'll see there. For example, with mine, I'm consistently low on vitamin D. I mean, yes, if I get more sun exposure and stuff like that, it seems to be a little bit better, but historically I almost always test low. So I'm all consistently- You see even more important these days. Right, to look at vitamin D especially. That's a great example. I take five to 10,000 IUs of vitamin D and I've been doing it for years and my levels are always in the middle. So like you would think, oh, you're gonna take too much, but I test regularly. So it's like, apparently I need to take that much vitamin D. I know people that they took vitamin D, got tested. Oh, it got too high. So you need to know, because if you don't know, you could be doing some problems. Even supplement, I mean, I just noticed from coaching and being out in the sun over the past few months, my elevated mood and just like energy and everything is insanely better. So just getting outside as much as you can is a big factor too.
