 I hope you're all trying to stay happy and positive despite what's going on in the world. And that's going to be the main focus of today. What I incorporate into my diet and lifestyle to stay calm, collected, and to be intelligent about everything that's going on right now. So I just woke up and the first thing I did was rub vitamin D3 on my balls. So if you guys haven't gotten the memo, you have vitamin D is important, but when you rub it on specific parts of your body, as if you were out in the sun getting full body exposure, there are hormonal receptors in certain parts of your body that will actually respond. So I've noticed that if I put the vitamin D3 down there and get blood work for testosterone, it will actually change and I will feel a difference in my sex drive. Whereas just rubbing it on my body, you're taking it orally, it's not the same effect. And females can do this too. You can rub it on your breast tissue above your stomach where your ovaries are. Crucial nutrient and it is pretty sunny outside. I woke up pretty late and I have some stuff to do, but even in early April, if it's nice and sunny outside, you can get some UVB rays from about 11 a.m. to 2.30 p.m. So it's definitely worth your time. If you guys aren't doing anything, if it's not too cloudy outside, go lay out in the sun in your underwear in a bathing suit for a couple hours. The natural alternative to taking this supplement, that being said, not everyone can lay outside naked in the sun for a couple hours a day. And this is a main factor a lot of people are missing. You can get every single thing right, but if you're not getting vitamin D3, you're not going to feel energized, you're not going to feel good. And this also ties into nutrient synergy. If you're consuming a lot of vitamin A, if you're consuming a lot of vitamin K2, you're eating all these high fat, soluble vitamin animal foods, but you're not in the sun getting vitamin D, you're going to run into issues long term. One thing I don't mention enough is the main goal of humans, which is to reproduce. So if you don't have a high sex drive, if you don't feel good, you know, if that's not a main component of your lifestyle, you know, something's wrong. I mean, that's all real humans are supposed to do, right? If we were to have one goal. So keep in mind when we're consuming these animal nutrients, you know, by increasing the nutrient density of our diet, by doing all these things in the lifestyle, that's really the end goal, to have the healthiest children possible by creating the healthiest egg and the healthiest sperm possible. So let's go downstairs and have the first meal. So lately I've been doing ground beef with bone broth. So this is a pound of 80, 20 ground beef, and this is some homemade bone broth. What I do is I either take the ground beef out the night before to throw out, or like today I just let it throw out in hot water for an hour, if I forgot to take it out. So while this ground beef is cooking, I'll get my supplements ready. And the three things I take every single day, regardless, are vitamin K2 to replicate fermented foods, very important for vitamin synergy, calcium metabolism. This is the male virility supplement for sex drive again, testosterone boosting. And this is copper. This is very important because our ancestors would have consumed a lot of wild plant foods that were high in copper. So you want to keep your copper to zinc ratio about one milligram to 10 milligrams. And this is two milligrams per pill. So I basically take one of these with every meal I have, you know, maybe two milligrams per pound of beef. Sometimes I will take iodine, but that's just a bunch of extra, extra of these because, you know, I go through them maybe once every two or three months. So what I like doing is cooking the moisture out of the ground beef. And after I cook the moisture out of the ground beef, we throw this really flavorful bone broth in, then it tastes really, really good. If there's a lot of liquid in the pan and you add the bone broth to it, it's just not as concentrated and flavorful. If you guys haven't seen my bone broth recipe from a few weeks ago, definitely check that out. It's going to blow your mind at how good it is. Yeah, it looks good. I'm going to turn the heat off a couple of tablespoons of broth in here. Now I'll take some salt, maybe a pinch of salt in here. And that's good to go. Just going to let the broth warm up off the heat. So here we have the ground beef with the bone broth and not really too many fat soluble vitamins, mostly B vitamins, protein, caloric energy. And if you think about it from like maybe November through April, we wouldn't have had access to super high vitamin foods. So humans are kind of meant to eat in a cyclical nature. That's why we have babies at certain times of the year naturally. You know, if you look up statistics for like birth, weight, IQ, height, pretty much anything to do with being healthy, babies that are born, you know, in June, in July that were conceived later in the year, that's when they're healthier. That's because the animals on pasture, the food you're eating is higher in nutrition. And then when you have the baby, the sun is out, you're getting vitamin D. So everything makes sense. And if we're able to replicate that in a way through our diet and lifestyle, that's the assumed healthier thing to do. And if you guys are getting sick of ground beef, eating this bone broth makes it really, really delicious. But again, that depends on the quality of the bone broth. And if you guys look back like a year or two at my old day of beatings, you'll notice I used to eat a lot more fat and that's because that's when I was in bodybuilding. You know, I kept my fat to protein ratio about 80% of my calories to 20% of my calories. But now I just eat a lot of protein. As you guys saw last time, about halfway through the meal is when I'll take the supplements. So I'll do one drop of the vitamin K2. And again, if you think you're deficient, you can always go higher. There are studies where they did like 45 milligrams per day, which is, it's very high, but you know, in a state of nutrient deficiencies, it makes sense. And here I have the the beef test these pills. I'm actually going double on them today. I'm going to try twice as much for the next few weeks and see if it makes a difference. I've never swallowed that many pills without water before, and I'm never doing that again. Directly caught on my throat. So that was about a pound of ground beef. And as always, I want to emphasize that you shouldn't be eating to fullness. You know, just eat till you're satiated. Don't stuff yourself. Don't overeat. It's going to stress your body's digestive enzyme. If you really want to increase your calories, what you want to do is switch up the food powder ability. You know, I just ate a pound of ground beef, and I could probably have a couple tablespoons of honey. I could have maybe half a cup of raw cream, a few bites of cheese. By changing up the food type, you're changing up the macronutrient and the micronutrient ratio of what you're eating, and your body's going to crave different things. You know, raw dairy and honey are definitely two things I would lean towards to increasing food powder ability. I used to even put honey on beef fat, and I even made a beef fat ice cream once. Incredibly delicious. Definitely something you guys could try out. You know, since my body can only produce so much pepsin, so much stomach acid, it has a limited amount of protein digestion. But you know, since I didn't eat a lot of fat, since I didn't eat a crazy amount of carbohydrates, there's still other macronutrient metabolism processes in the body that can be utilized. You know, how much fruit toast is my liver ready to process? How much insulin is my pancreas ready to release? How much other enzymes can my body digest in the form of carbohydrates, in the form of fats? And I go over this in my Do Athletes Need Carbohydrates video, where it does make sense to figure out what ratios of macronutrients work for you, what do you perform the best on, and what mixture of high quality foods that are mostly animal based you can comprise most of your diet. So this might be all we're eating today. I'm going to find out. So what I'm going to do now is I'm going to have a couple tablespoons of raw honey. Then I'm going to hydrate a little bit, drink some water, well work out. And depending on how the rest of the day goes, I might have another pound of ground beef, or I might not be able to, I might just leave it at this. And yeah, 95% of the days I'm having two meals, but occasionally, you know, if I eat too much the day before, or if I'm just not as active, I only have one meal. So we had that first meal about one o'clock. I wasn't going to actually eat again today, but it's about 10 PM and I am a little bit hungry. So, you know, we're going to have the other pound of ground beef that I took out. So I do have some bone broth left that we can flavor this with. Just the same thing as before, you know, the rest of my broth, the ground beef, we'll put some salt in there, and then I'll have the copper. I'm not going to have the K2 and the beef testies again. We're just going to do the copper this meal. That's the main difference. You know, those supplements I take in the morning, the D3, all that stuff, I do that once a day. But the copper needs to be taken consistently because you need to balance the zinc. I'm running a little bit low on bone broth, so I'm only really putting like a quarter cup in. But, you know, by all means, you guys can make this like a soup. You know, you might even enjoy it a little bit more with more broth in there. Round two, ground beef and bone broth. And honestly guys, the only reason I made this video was to show you guys adding the bone broth to the ground beef because this is so tasty and delicious compared to just eating a plate full of ground beef. And I started doing this just last week. It's really, you know, a step up from choking down ground beef. But as I said earlier, you really need a high quality beef stock or high quality bone broth because it needs to taste good in order to make this taste good. I'm actually still a little hungry, so, you know, maybe I'll have a couple tablespoons of raw honey later as a dessert. I don't know, we'll see, usually, even if I am hungry, it'll go away in like 20, 30 minutes. But, you know, since the goal is to gain weight for the bodybuilding, to give my body as much nutrition as possible, you know, I kind of want to eat a little bit more, especially if I have the stomach capacity for it, you know, when I usually don't. We know nutrition plays a big role in health and happiness and there has never been a time in the world where we needed it so much. So if you can convince, you know, your family to consume more high quality animal foods, if you yourself can consume more high quality animal foods, it's going to put both our physical and mental being in a state where we can deal with all this better. So thank you guys for joining me. We just added a five pound organic ground beef bundle to Frankie's syringe meat if you want to check that out. We might have bone broth in the next week or two.
