 Yo, what's good? Good morning Thursday classic. What's good? Some will say it's still spinning, but it's dunk life daily boy What does that mean if you know this show we're all over the place But we're one place to and that's earth and that's still spinning and where's earth nobody knows It's revolving around the Sun definitely check out on YouTube earth revolving around Sun flying through space It's just weird because we're just like this little thing floating around getting launched through space. That's what we're doing That's what it's about baby. Let's go. I wanted to kind of touch on nutrition today The other thing that's exciting about today's episode is I wanted to do two things at the end of the podcast one is Do a little today in history what happened on today's date and then also Shout out to a specific comment from the last podcast because I I want I've been getting really great feedback and really great Comments of the dunk lifers and it's just really cool So I wanted to kind of point that out to incentivize engagement But also just to point out you guys because it's really awesome to be part of the community Which is what I love so much about doing these videos and doing these podcasts is the community's So anyway, but I got a lot of energy today today's dunk day. I'm drinking my coffee Bro, I am banging. I went to 10 feet yesterday to warm up Bro, I'm gonna show the YouTube gang first. It's gonna be on my vlog before it's anywhere else probably later today 10 feet is it's getting silly like I'm jumping the highest I've ever jumped banging how I would with the yams like meaning Just destroying dunks on 10 feet. It's just silly and I'm dunking off the dribble I almost had a two-hand off the dribble on 10 feet yesterday on a warm-up day where you guys know that that's tough for me Anyway, today's dunk session should be super silly I think I'm gonna go to the 9 9 baby room for the first time in weeks and That's just to have some fun and then my boy Justin's in town We're gonna have a big dunk session Saturday So today's kind of warm up and practice technique like jumping and then go hard with that new found technique on Saturday But the point is today should be silly sneak peek I'm gonna go for that elbow dunk not just elbow hang elbow dunk but it took me years to make this progress literally like Over a year just to make any progress and before that another whole year just to make any progress So the progress has been slow, but the knowledge has been skyrocketing So yeah, my nutrition I wanted to give a quick Overview of what I like to do because it's been really working for me First thing I did for my knee pain was I cut out gluten This was like a while ago is very early on on the podcast I think actually and I did that because it can cause anti-inflation it can cause inflammation if you eat gluten if it's because it's Messing up your gut biome. I'm definitely a scientist. So this is gonna come out really well But the point is is that I had very little knee pain. It was it was tolerable. I was stretching doing everything I can I cut out gluten and it went away in like two weeks Instantly like completely gone and it came back like a year later But that's because I lifted so much heavy weight and jumped so hard. So but at the time it helped But so if you're having any inflammation, you could try cutting out gluten that might help you out a little bit It's not saying that it'll cure all knee pain at all But I cut out gluten and I haven't really looked back since And then the next thing I added to my diet was intermittent fasting And I do that basically I stop eating whenever I want at night My routine is pretty standard when it comes to sleep like I go to sleep at 9 10 and then I stop eating Say like 10 10 30 and then I don't eat till lunch the next day, which is 12 1 and it's so easy for me I have coffee in the morning coffee satiates you which is a good scientific word which helps you relieve your hunger And it also like helps keep things moving. It feels really good. I love it and what I love about intermittent fasting is I Feel very consistent with my energy and if you know me I am in love with energy and so having that consistent feeling meaning I could wake up at 7 8 Whatever it is only have coffee and I could feel my energy only increase Till about like all the way to the evening like if I don't have a dunk session till 6 today at PM I probably have like a snack or like a small meal like oatmeal and a banana like around three or four But like that's all I need. I don't even need that Because I fuel up the night before And what I love about that is that I have the whole day before it was like Oh, I need to have a meal two hours before my dunk session So it's digested and then if I like had that meal and forever forever Too much energy if I had that meal and then I for whatever reason I'm literally trying to talk too fast for my own mouth If I if I couldn't have that dunk session got postponed for any reason I'd be like oh my my energy is Starting to fade but it's now it's like I have like a giant window of consistent energy and when I warm up I always feel light before it was like some days. I felt sluggish from From jumping too much. I mean I from eating too much and some days I felt like under under new nourished. I can't talk and so like and I had like light-headed in the Feeling like jittery because I didn't eat enough But the point is now is like I fuel up the night before With a ton of food hydration and I feel great anytime I work out And I've had such consistent workouts of energy that it's just I'm in love with it And plus when I travel is like if I have an early flight or I have to wake up early at the travel I don't have to eat for a long time and it's just a very nice Non-stressful feeling meaning like reduce stress reducing feeling because before it was like how am I gonna eat? I have to go buy something out in the airport each shitty food But now it's like if I miss a meal for like six hours. I don't even stress. It's almost good for me So it's just it's changed my life as well and now on to the fuel up So I have coffee then for lunch I like oatmeal and a banana maybe some blueberries to I eat oatmeal for the digestion factors and the metabolism type thing And it's just good for the fiber and the banana still keep it kind of small I like to eat kind of small throughout the day and then have a giant dinner And then later I'll usually go to the gym and right before the gym or right after the gym I have my veggie drink which is all my story of my Instagram, but it's basically just kale spinach cucumber Ginger root turmeric powder and black pepper and Jell-O Jell-O's for the collagen for your tendons I'm a scientist so all this stuff is definitely accurate and also That scientist joke is crystal lia's influence. He always says that By the way, I'm a huge baby if you guys know what I'm talking about Shout out to the other podcast listeners And then the I have though I have that veggie drink because I don't really eat greens with my meal I probably should but it's just an easy way for me to get everything in one the turmeric and the ginger root are really good for Anti-inflammation as well and like I think my metabolism the turmeric helps with like stuff like that But yeah, mainly for just like health and keeping my body really really like getting all those different Whatever the fucks going on on there And the black pepper I heard is good with the turmeric because it helps you absorb it more I don't know I'm always learning and I use coconut water in there too for the hydration But that's just like a really good power drink the other tip too is that it's it's kind of chunky And I like that because it's better to chew it a little bit. I know it sounds nasty. I don't care That's dunk life for me. That's my strength is I don't give off Fuck what it tastes like and it actually tastes good because I used to not even use the Jell-O now use the Jell-O tastes good I get it all down. It's great. I blend it up. It's it's super easy to drink at standard I like my routine I like to be most efficient and then at night if you guys have been watching I have the usual which is Chicken quinoa and avocado with some dressing. I just boil the quinoa I actually boil the chicken too and then I shred up the chicken in my blender as well shout out to my mom hi mom and It shreds the chicken really nicely I get like adobo seasoning chili powder cayenne pepper season the chicken really nicely in the pan with like coconut oil And then put all the chicken and the quinoa in one pan stir it all up It's all mixed nicely and seasoned up and then I cut up an avocado put that in there And then I put some primal kitchens like avocado dressing I think it is I dig primal kitchen because they use avocado oils instead of vegetable oils and it's really a lot healthier And it's really good. I have that meal every single night and that's my day every single day I don't I don't friggin sway. I love it. It's super easy for me for me to make the boiling makes it so easy Boiling is actually really healthy to make chicken that way, but I've just got my routine down so down pat that it's easy It's efficient. It keeps me going and I Love it I love eating the same thing and I and then on like big days like last night before a dunk session I'll add a sweet potato to that to have extra fuel for today's dunk session And that's my fuel up and I feel great and then today after the done on protein bars here in there, too And dark chocolate's my little treat. Sometimes I use eggs instead of avocado sometimes use eggs instead of chicken eggs are really good too, but that's like What my my meals look like almost every single day and then like today after my dunk session I'll have a banana right after and then like I don't even have to eat right after have protein bars And then the same meal just maybe just as big as like a fuel up because I'm like refueling as well or refeeding Anyway, that's my stuff and now I'm switching it up really quick If you have any questions, by the way, leave them in the comments so I can respond and then everybody can see my answers Because I get a lot of nutrition questions all the time Did you see Elon Musk in his freaking Neuralink thing? I heard him talk about it on Joe Rogan's podcast That's gonna be nuts. He wants it. It's like a chip that goes in your brain connects to your phone I don't know exactly what it does, but I'm pretty sure it's just gonna like read your fucking synapses and neurons and Your thoughts are gonna be able to control your phone basically because just right now if you think about it It's like we'd have voice it's starting to learn what we like predictive text It's already doing like our thoughts, but that's gonna be exactly what you think and there's also technology out there already That's reading your they're just making like a dictionary of your brain So if you think of like a triangle you could record those patterns that fire in your brain And you can be like, okay That pattern means triangle and all they have to do is make a dictionary of all those different patterns Even it's super complex. I'm a scientist. I know how to do it and But over time it's so easy to see that your brain You're just gonna be able to think things and just search things using your phone. So like it's gonna be nuts I'm super pumped for that. It's just so wild to see what the hell is going on and I love that I'm living in that time to See all that come to life So I just wanted to shout out Elon Musk definitely check out that Neuralink thing. It's I just followed them on Twitter I'm gonna be like reposting that it's nuts. Okay, so let's get to the today in history real quick And then I'll shout out my dunk lifer so today in history today I mentioned I was gonna do this today in history July 18th FDR nominated for unprecedented third term wait November 24 It's my first time doing this or give me it.
