 All right, we're live so this will be our weekly one of our weekly training calls and coaching calls for everybody to maximize Either their ketone product their diet their lifestyle And then a place for me to answer questions So I have multiple channels going on right now So as you come on do me a huge favor and just kind of tell me where you're coming in from where you're calling in from And if you can if you have a question we're off the bat hit me the question and let's see if I can I can help you out. I am doing this from my my home car office. I Had to run to the grocery store and so we're here at the home office It's kind of cool that the technology allows us to do this, but if we haven't met my name is Dustin California in the house. I love it I'm also known as the keto pro. It was weird taking on that name But after you know speaking on five continents and I don't know many many many many countries and around the world and Hosting the largest keto education event. It just seemed to fit But I actually have 20 years plus of coaching 20 years of health and wellness I've been fortunate to work with the top Fought leaders in human performance optimization keto experts around the world The the number one human performance coaches in the world I've gotten to work with some of the top athletes around the world But of course more importantly just everyday people like Jennifer Mann in Iowa Helping her find a way to live better And so what I want to do is just take a few minutes and kind of walk through people through How do you maximize if you're just getting started? What should you be focused on if you want to go further? What should you do? And I'm gonna do this call It's gonna be a similar call each week Keto Erin. I think it is check with your doctor on that. My wife was okayed by hers But you can definitely check on your doctor about that question and see what they say. Hey Hey better late than ever. I'm not sure what that is, but But I'm super excited for you guys to be joining us here So here's the deal if you're just getting started with us now most people that follow me I would say 90% of people that follow me already are drinking ketones And if you get to know me a little bit I was the guy that did the ketogenic diet or a high fat low carb diet. Let's call it for majority of my adult life I've fallen out of ketosis. I've made mistakes, but I did it for health reasons. I didn't want to do it I did it was very restrictive Challenging diet to live by I did it for health reasons not for fat loss Of course, I was able to maintain my body composition through that whole journey, which was nice and about eight years ago I got introduced to drinkable ketones, which is what I'm a bigger fan of Yes, I make money selling ketones. I'm just gonna throw it out there. Yes This is how I make my entire living, but the reality is we can help a lot more people Most people quit the diet. Most people don't stick on the diet So this is a way for us to get people to get benefits of ketones and find a diet that they're willing to maintain Long-term and that's why Jennifer Mann has maintained 70 pounds is because she didn't have to follow it such a strict diet She had to get to her goal learn how to live her life So I want to do is get you started if you're not drinking ketones What I'm encouraging you to do is get the ketogenic Bible and start there. You can always ask me questions about the ketogenic diet I can give you guidance on it My biggest tip is is if you're starting the ketogenic diet is don't go high fat right away Focus on low carb first understand that you got to be low carb and then bring the fat in Just a big mistake people make and also keep in mind it takes about six months to a year to actually learn the diet Six months to a year to get good at the ketogenic diet. It really don't and that's any diet. That's a Mediterranean diet That's a you can try it for a while But to actually get good at it and understand it and learn it and get stay healthy with it It's gonna take a lot of time So let's get back to drinking ketones if you're currently drinking ketones down below Tell me your favorite flavor one of the benefits you've gotten but if you're just getting started and you're excited about this What I want you to do is is it's as simple as this. It's funny. I jumped in my car I have one in my my sugar bottle right now. So I like to make it up. So I ice some water Now just so you know, it's been cold here in California cold meaning like 60 My poor Minnesotans So I've been actually making it warm and I put it in my coffee mug like this so you can make them warm You can make them cold. I actually think they're taste better cold, but they're not bad warm So if you want to make them cold ice water drink it down in the morning within 30 minutes I recommend within the first two hours waking up start your day with ketones It does not break your fast and elevate your ketone levels, which is going to improve cognition It's gonna prove focus. It's gonna improve your body's ability to metabolize body fat It's gonna improve just overall well-being and health. Okay blackberry energy and focus. That's awesome strawberry peaches I love strawberry peaches, too. That's my favorite one of my favorite flavors. So What you can do next is you're going to if you drink coffee, that's fine I tell people though be aware of your goals if your goal is to burn body fat and you're putting a lot of crap in your coffee if you put a lot of fat in your coffee if you Put a lot of carbs or carbs in your coffee like honey or you're putting like sweeteners and things like that in there That's gonna stop the metabolism from burning body fat. It's gonna slow it down Especially the ketogenic effect. So you want to try to lean towards a keto friendly or a low carb coffee or black coffee or tea You don't have to drink coffee, but it's optional. I do use coffee on my non fasting days I actually put keto cream in my coffee, which is it's not super high fat, but it's got the collagen It's got some fat in there and it's really good for satiation That's optional that you can do that in caffeine or decaf coffee. That's up to your choice I still recommend your ketones first thing in the morning because you want to bring your ketone levels up Okay, so after you do that basically the next step is really simple You're gonna eat when you're hungry Okay, if you're doing one of our fasting programs, that's a whole different program like if you're eye fasting with us Which is super amazing. I'm actually doing it this week We're gonna give you eating windows. So that's a little bit of a discipline But what I want you to do is eat when you're hungry So if you drink your ketones in the morning and you're getting hungry at 10 a.m I want you to eat at 10 a.m. Okay. I want you to eat at that, you know 10 eat at 10 30 9 the idea here is not to be a prisoner of your food I get passionate about this hard tart lost 70 pounds. Amy. That's awesome. Congratulations Donna Better sleep great flavors super amazing so I don't want you to be a prisoner of your food and Anybody that eats every two hours or anybody ever eats five meals a day or You don't have to snack all time. You're a prisoner of your food. That is not metabolically flexible That is not ideal only two groups of people that are should be prisoners of their food for a while That's bodybuilders and people that are really not healthy Accessibly unhealthy people but even then there should be a short window shouldn't be long term So the idea is just to start to listen to your body and fuel it when it needs fuel as long as you feel good So when you drink your ketones in the morning, you're gonna start to feel better And that could take seven to ten days to feel better Eat your first meal. Now your your food should be driven towards your goals So meaning if you want to be a better fat burner, we're gonna want to not overeat number one We're gonna want to reduce our calories. The good thing is ketones are gonna help do that So you don't have to really think about it. The second step is we're gonna want you to go more low carb So be carb conscious. I didn't say keto. Just be carb conscious. What does that mean? It means if you can eat if you're eating a burger Maybe you have the burger and then instead of having fries you have a broccoli instead That's carb conscious or you have a half of a bun and not a whole bun You have one bun on it or you just go no bun and maybe you have five fries You're basically being carb conscious what you're doing is you're driving your carbohydrates down But you're not necessarily eliminate them if you can do this go one low carb meal and one and have one carb in your dinner Meal, that's fine, too Once again, we're not necessarily forcing people or telling people they have to eat a diet We're gonna give you the ketone so that you can find the way to live your diet If it ultimately ends up becoming a keto style diet, then that's great That's kind of the lifestyle I live and I love that but what I know about my diet is most people won't follow it So I'm trying to like become more flexible with my diet and still I want my cake and eat it too I just don't know how much cake I get to have, right? So ketones in the morning your first meal when you're hungry you can be eggs and bacon it could be it could be Yogurt and you know some berries it could be a burger with some broccoli What does it look like? It could be a sandwich with no bun rolled in lettuce. It could be just something that's a little carb, right? Maybe a piece of fruit if you don't want if you go on to go real low carb to leave the fruit out The less carbs typically the faster you're gonna burn fat typically, okay? So that's your first meal then what you do is you're just gonna wait to your hungry to eat again And this is the rhythm I want you to think about drink your ketones even you're hungry drink your ketones even you're hungry your choices of food will be Deperminant by your goals if you're a high-level athlete you might use some carbohydrate strategically because that's what you want to do And that's how you perform the best that's great You also might try a keto style diet and see how you do remember it still takes six months for you to kind of figure That all out to make it work best for you That's why I want to give you the simplest plan now in the afternoon if you're hungry or if you're Craving or if you're hungry or if you're frustrated especially when you first get started your body's going through lots of changes So this is a time that you can either have a snack avocado hard boiled egg some cheese some salami Or what I really recommend is either have another keto mat or have a keto pro in the afternoon This is a great tool for you Because what it does I'm gonna get some air in here. It's kind of hot What that does is gonna help give you the sustainable ketones in your system is gonna help your brain get more focused you're gonna help with your cravings and The second one in the afternoon usually is more important when you're not perfect on your diet people always think well I'm not perfect. I shouldn't drink more Ketones are in replace of your diet So the more that your diet is loose and the more that your diet is fun and more of it's Creative and eating whatever the hell you want basically the more you should have ketones That's that I want everybody to be really clear this year I'm gonna be clear about this is that our product when you're drinking ketones is not a diet The product is the product we got a created diet for you and that's gonna look everybody's gonna be different I mean I work people Singapore and Asia and I work with people in Australia and in Europe and Ireland and Canada and Mexico Everybody's diets is and we can't give you a plan We can give you a framework and teach you a plan that you can come up with on your own And that's what I'm doing right now. So dinner Here's a couple tips for dinner same thing low carb if you want to be more fat focused about burning body fat You want to focus more on low carb options? So I'm making low carb chili tonight. You could do a low carb spaghetti. Did I say keto chili? No, it can be low carb It maybe isn't officially keto because it has some carbs in it But it can be low carb and I want you to go. Hey, that's awesome. I'm great So that way you're not stressing about it So we replace the beans if anybody has a Luisa's number tell me what we're gonna text the chili recipe out tonight So I replace the chili beans With turnip root and it does a great job of masking the flavor. It tastes really good. It's super delicious You can do a beanless chili, of course also, but I have tomatoes in there I might have some salsa in there So it's gonna have some carbohydrates, but it's not gonna have an excessive amount if you had all the beans in there So that's the little different little change. You can still throw some cheese and sour cream on there If you want to have fun with it So that's what I'm gonna have tonight, but you're gonna want to do a carb conscious dinner All right, last little tips about maximizing our product is drink plenty of water drink lots like plenty of water Now I do recommend if you have a filtration system like a reverse osmosis or you drink a lot of bottled water from Costco Or that is really filtered That can be very dangerous. So your filtration system I typically like just a good charcoal filter filter from your tap is great Frigerators aren't bad now if you have a really bad water source You might need to you know figure that out on your own, but if you drink bottled water make sure it's spring water Make sure it's not overly filtered There's like water out there like smart water isn't that smart? I promise you and these things are important because they can actually cause you to feel worse now You're like, why is my ketones not make me feel so good? Well, it's because you're dehydrated and it's the water you're using so I highly Recommend that you get high quality water and use our electrolytes with it Our electrolytes are formulated to help enhance your experience of ketones So if you're if you're using our product, I mean, I can't tell you I'll be the biggest fan I'm the biggest. I'm pretty aggressive at pushing electrolytes They're super important for your overall benefits and your health benefits So I would highly recommend you getting the electrolytes with it and have one to two a day Especially if you retain fluids or anything like that And that's usually the big thing that people have to worry about is hydration stay hydrated Because ketogenic diet or being in ketosis is a natural diuretic So when you first get started with us, you might know yes So water from collagen filters can be okay depends what kind of collagen filter when I was a kid I lived in Minnesota collagen filters were very often reverse osmosis under the sink tank If you have an under the sink tank that water I tell everybody it is it's absolutely dangerous I don't recommend it the World Health Organization doesn't doesn't recommend it It's it's legitimately if you don't understand that you need to add minerals to that and you need to fix that water That can actually be very bad for your health So I'm not a fan of that water and a lot of companies filter their water that way For bottle companies like you buy bottle water a lot of them filter it that way and then they add a little trace minerals back But that's not enough. That's not what your body really needs. So I'm a big fan of water So the fastest way to solve that is some some Himalayan sea salt or a Celtic sea salt in your water is a good thing That you can help it doesn't solve it, but it helps Drink your ketones with and then get some electrolytes and have a couple electrolytes a day That will help a lot and then get rid of that water, of course, right one more big tip I want to give everybody is this is that I'm like snowballing y'all here, but I'm gonna have fun with this coaching I'll be doing this multiple times that I'm gonna do the same type of call But I might do a focus each on the end of each call But is you won't if you really want to get healthy Eating before bed is just not ideal So you want to really stop your eating three to four hours What my coach used to teach me is like this the earlier you can stop eating before bed The actually the better you'll do And and so I tell people eight o'clock is like that cut off Seven is even ideal now if you do get hungry later, and you're basically it's you're getting obsessed about it And you're just like I'm going crazy. I'm gonna just binge eat. Here's the deal willpower can take you so far I love willpower. I think it's good But should you have to have a fight every single night to go to sleep about food every night in your mind? If it's emotional then you got to get with the counselor and start figuring that out Spell Joe dispends of stuff. If it's biochemistry, which you may or may not know What you can do is you can have ketones after Seven o'clock or eight o'clock or nine o'clock. I like keto pro. I like to ampule ketones I like our keto calm but have ketones ketones will turn that down for you until you can start to work on some of the behaviors Right, maybe it's an emotional thing. Well, you got to work on that but support yourself The more that you eat later in the night. Hey, is it gonna happen? Yes anniversary night I had to dessert at ten o'clock at night I'm not beating myself up about that but on average the majority of time you really want to stay don't eat much after 8 p.m. Or at all and if you do keep it keto pro or keep it keep it Keep it keto natter keto ampules or keto calm because that will help keep you down and help you sleep better Okay, so I just a little tips for you to get yourself up for success But the more that you eat late at night What happens is your body at night tries to digest your brain detoxes your GI track your body's detoxing It's going through a process and the more that it has to digest food. It's not able to repair very well So that's why I love intermittent fasting that's I basically what I just taught you is an intermittent fasting technique At the same time what we're doing is we're trying to allow our body to get healthy and not let food control us But I do get it, you know I eat some nights I'm having a cocktail at eight o'clock at night and I'm like I want I want something and you just want something If that happens once or twice a month who cares right or even five times a month But if it happens every week or three four or five times a week It's going to catch up to you and you're going to ask yourself why I'm not getting the results I want why am I plateaued? Why are this happening? Well, that's why our product still works It's just that it can't beat some of the decisions that we've made over the lifetime So we have to learn how to create a new life type lifestyle for the ultimate results So I hope that I hope that came off right gluten-free W. What's up gluten-free? I've been gluten-free since 1999 True story been pretty crazy So I've been a big fan of no gluten But it's anyway, she heard she just popped up on Instagram. So I just had a couple any more questions I can I got a few minutes for questions But if you really want to maximize fat burning if that's your focus here's a few other tips I'd give you Not to get it too deep in it, but breathing it matters I'm not breathing much while I'm on this call but breathing through be a nose breather definitely helps I know people I can get into the science of that. I'm not going to Check out Andrew Huberman. He talks about that There's a book called Jaws that they talked about that too that could be very helpful But I think the most important thing you have to realize when it comes to fat loss is number one You have to improve metabolic health and this is where a lot of trainers and coaches and I'll say this here on On this live right now is if you're working with nutritionist or coaches or trainer. This is where they're not clearly educated on Doctors they don't understand it and it's not that they don't understand it scientifically what they don't understand is they don't understand it psychologically and Behaviorally and this is the difference of training and working with people for 25 years in multiple countries around the world is that it's about people It's not about being right or wrong. It's about results and people and so if you're trying to burn body fat It's really important to improve metabolic health And how do you do that is that you have to find and the diet that you're starting with today is not the diet You'll do next year Just so you know it's gonna change because you're changing it has to change if it stays the same then you are exactly where you want To be that's probably not the case. You're probably evolving, right? And so you should be So metabolic health is about understanding your body's ability to put to burn metabolized body fat So we want to prove that drinking ketones is the number one way to help improve metabolic health without exercise With exercise combining the two together is extraordinary. So you want to improve exercise And this is this is where it's complicated is that you know somebody that just had multiple surgeries I can't train like I did when I was 20 and I'm not gonna even try to because I just keep getting hurt So I have to start moving my body more But the best way to move your body is to find something that you love to do and do it more often You got to build a habit and the routine and the ritual of doing that And so if you'd like to dance with Richard Simmons start doing that you like Zuma start doing that doesn't I'm gonna tell you You should everybody should be working out in the gym and working out I have researchers on my back all the time. They're like Dustin. That's the most important thing to do Yeah, scientifically we can tell you that's what you should do, but here's the reality most people hate it They're nervous. They don't know where to begin. They they're gonna fail They start they stop and they feel embarrassed and all this other stuff Well, I'm not setting them up for success Right. I'm just telling them it's calorie and calorie out. You got to work out hard Well, that's not gonna get you your answer Okay, it's about finding a consistent plan or routine that you're willing to do if it's going for a walk and say I'm gonna commit to walking every day for 10,000 steps for 30 days start there You might not even maintain that but that's where you should start set a goal and do it, right? So that's the beginning of this journey as we go through the year you have to build on it, right? Maybe I'll I can start doing planks. I can start doing push-ups. I can start doing squats I can start doing lunges to the point where a next by the end of next year. You actually want to join a gym and This is the this is about how do you maintain the new results just remember this again Whatever you're doing this month will not be what you do at the end of the month to maintain it It's going to change it has to change Otherwise you are gonna go back to where you were and and I don't want to get this false impression of people going Oh, just do my plan and you solve all your problems because you know what? You're gonna call me up next year or you're gonna jump on another plan next year Or you're gonna jump on another plan next week and you're gonna start the whole damn thing over and it's just not the way it works So I want to really be clear here that that the plan you start today It's not the one you're gonna finish tomorrow, but exercise is super super important to burning body fat It's crucial the three ways that your body kind of eliminates body fat is your sweat breathing and urination Plenty of water move your body and breathe through your nose And then from there, it's like we want to reduce our calories. You have to be in caloric deficit to burn body fat Effectively and to drop weight right if you have if you have 50 pounds on your I'll say a hundred pounds on your on your waistline that's three hundred and 350,000 calories you don't have to eat So we want to tap into that but yet the same time To improve metabolic function. We need to perform better So I need you to eat high-quality foods high-quality proteins and this is the the fine line This is why you're gonna plateau at some point and we'll talk about plateauing not today But this is where you're gonna get you're gonna get in these situations where you have to learn like plateau is normal It's part of it because your body has you have to confuse your body you have to metabolically shift it You maybe we have to improve performance before you can burn more fat for a while These are all things that we need to work on and it's just a process of that whole thing Sleep hydration fitness moving your moving your body ketones and your diet is the is really the recipe to the Burning body fat last little tip. I'll give you is this is fasting and so we have a new fasting program It's actually right there up in the corner here Our I fast it's an accelerator process to accelerate some fat burning and just metabolic health So if you want to improve metabolic health faster if you want to get fast results start I fasting with us once or twice a month or even three times for some of you And that will accelerate your results and help guide you along the way faster You should see less plateaus with that too and a higher level of performance at the same time That's a that's a tool that we have access to that you can now do so hopefully if you're all who's I fasting with Us in our beta test we started off on Monday. It's super exciting. Just stress hinder your progress Carol Yes, it does. I actually had a call with the lady earlier about that What's the best type drink keto kick whenever you want one I drink it in the afternoon or before my workout It's when I do drink keto kick stress Stresses it's complicated stress is important exercises of stress Excessive amounts of stress in the baby your body's ability to handle it will impact your body's health It has a direct correlation to cortisol which has a correlation to other hormones Which then can impact your body's ability to metabolize fat So I can go down that rabbit hole for a long time if you tend to carry more weight around your belly and belly button And that's a harder place for you to lose weight stress It seems to be a factor the problem is is I can't tell you to stop stressing That's not the way it works. If you're hindered by stress. We all have stress It's how we can deal with it and handle it and move through it. That's something you have to learn It's a technique. It's not a diet. It's not exercise. That is a technique There are some vitamins and minerals and things that that they can help that ketones are huge for you helping that But at the end of the day you have to stop being you you have to stop worrying about the wrong shit and and I get it I'm I've been a stress case most my life. It's part of the reason why I got super sick in my 20s I had there's a book out there the art of not being yourself or something like that by Joe Dispenza You literally have to create a new person. You have to basically Care but not that much about things that you can't control So I can go down the rabbit hole on stress So many factors with stress not enough sunlight is a stress on your body too much sunlight is a stress on your body All those are factors what you want to do is try to minimize as many as you can That's the behavioral side that I like to teach the most So when somebody comes in works with me and they're a smoker, they're not allowed to quit smoking Because the quitting of a smoker is usually more stressful than the benefits they'll gain by stopping so I'd rather change 30 other things in their life to make their body less stressed and Then we go tackle the smoking but most people of most doctors and nutritionists and trainers They focus on the smoking and those clients almost always fail if you work with me You'll usually be almost quit smoking by the time you six months in or if not you've significantly Reduced your smoking because I don't focus on smoking I focus on all the things that are easy to change that you can consistently do and it gives you power and strength to keep Moving in your life. That's what you want You want positive momentum instead of dread doubtful criticism and hatred about yourself and what other people are thinking about you and That to me is the recipe for success So if anybody tells you to stop doing something that you know I mean I have people that are Sometimes addicts on certain drugs or smoke weed or do this or drink this or this and I learned a long time ago I'm getting passionate now, but I learned a long time ago I was working with the lady and she was literally running herself to the ground And I was there to fix her and I was frustrated because I wanted to help her And the way I thought was important and finally She looked at me. She's like it's either this or a bridge and I'm like, oh Let's have a drink, but I didn't know what was going on behind the scenes I didn't get that deal with her or she was relatively new client and she life was tough She had some really complicated things going on behind the scenes And I was there to help keep her upright and I was focused on the drinking instead of all the other things And I was pushing her further down the wrong way as soon as I switched my energy towards focusing on all The other little things that she could change that weren't that bad her drinking significantly declined And then she was able to handle whatever was going on in her life at home And I've seen this in so many so many times in so many ways So I didn't have ketones back then that would have helped because people that when they drink ketones They tend to feel less stressed. They tend to handle stress better Because of how they impact the human body So that's I wish I would have this for many years of dealing with the life I had The cards I got dealt I guess But I hope this all makes sense. You connect with people. Well, thank you your approach. I try to connect with people Because this is everything we do is about that right if you're if you're a coach You can be wrong or you can be rich. I like to say But rich is not just money rich is in success. It's in helping other people's enrichment of others and my my mentor one of my mentors is very very he was very Very smart man extremely smart And he was funny really funny well read And but he he had the uniqueness of basically calling people on their brochures So he worked really well with the professional sports and the olympic athletes because it's like He's going to tell you how to win at all cost and but those people are willing to do things and sacrifice things That a lot of my clients weren't signing up for And so I had and I started falling in his approach And I realized that wasn't applying to my everyday life Now sometimes you have to be the you have to lead people right you have to tell them like listen You want to change your life you got to change your life I had that call earlier with a lady Saying listen stop blaming other people and start looking in the mirror Right, there's a time and place for that call But but you want to get people positive momentum in their life if you don't Then you end up blowing them out and then they go further into their hole and there's no perfect to that I mean, this is it's a dance and Um, there's a way to do it and there's an etiquette see by it But that means also that I'm not going to be the best coach for everybody the people that want to be They're asked kicked all the time. I'm probably not the best coach for them because That doesn't that approach doesn't work for me Um, so if you want to be challenged pushed Loved hugged and then get resolved. That's that's me. Some people want to be they just want to go right to the top Probably find a different coach. I'm not your guy. Go go hire a bodybuilder or somebody that is very like structured and regiment so Anyway, uh, which is so hard to do but um, I have to learn ways to stress less Yeah, I mean I I could talk about stress forever When I can tell you about stress, um, I've been trying to meditate for 20 some years Unsuccessfully because I was stressing about meditating right to your story Um, and this last year 2022 is my year of transition of meditating and what I learned about that is that you just got to start to become aware of your thoughts So become aware of them but also remember that It's and this is the hardest thing for people to grasp is that when it comes to reducing stress It's that it's nobody else's fault And it's kind of taken that ownership right if I crashed my car Not going to make a crash my car, but if I was to do that and if somebody else's fault I was still involved. I was still there. What what about me? It's like there's a reason why the same person has the same things happen If they happen to you multiple times then you have to kind of look in the mirror and go What about me the problem is is when you're stressed out you don't want to It's like it's like you don't want to have to deal with you And so what I learned in this journey of meditating and everything else I've been doing is that I just had to start to recognize that I was stressed I literally worked with a therapist for almost an entire year to even feel emotions I didn't know what emotions felt like So these are just some things that I work through but I sit down and I meditate I think about my thoughts And then I then slowly as I think about my thoughts. I don't try to control them I don't try to stop them. I just recognize that I had one. You know, I'm thinking about how bad the weather is Okay I don't know why but I am so I let it go and now I'm able to sit and kind of start to really like create How I want my life to be when you do that enough time you start to create your future The things that used to bother you don't even come into your life anymore And there's a really good book out there if you want to read it There's a million good books out there, but there's a book that really changed my change my perspective It's it's the biology of belief and I wouldn't tell you to read that book If you read the book about the honeymoon effect The honeymoon effect is a book about how people when they fall in love they almost never get sick Interesting, right? You think about getting ready for a wedding Right, you get ready for your wedding You're probably under some of the most pressure. You've maybe been in a long time Not everybody but a lot of people but yet you got through it, right? You survived it and you didn't get sick. You didn't like you made it through And and you're like, well, how's that even possible, right? But nowadays we get stressed by a few things that are not nearly as stressful as that moment And now we're like I got colds and I'm sick and I'm all sort of stuff And the reason why is that our biochemistry shifts with our thoughts and how we control them. So you can change that You can change your own thought pattern if you want to so um So I guess this extra topic was I'm stressed but anyway, I um, I appreciate all plugging in and uh Dr. Joe dispends of somebody I've been I've been following I've worked with uh, Jay Shetty also and and um, Jay Shetty's seven minute Morning meditations what got me really into meditating finally is just I could do seven minutes and I was able to stick to it It's it's and you let you listen to it and you go through it And now I've evolved way further than that and now I feel like I'm kind of always in a meditative state I'm always recognizing my thoughts and then creating where I want it to go Instead of dwelling on the the pain of a bank account or my scale or my food or my injuries or or whatever That's going on in your life or my relationships or with whoever I'm like, okay. I recognize I'm having that I need to I need to work with that person on whatever that is But yet this is where I'm going and it just feels like you have the weight of blanket taken off your shoulder. So Um, and here I stress is that Honestly, it's all that's all it is. Um, I can tell you right now I met this guy named Michael Rutherford in birthing class. He's introduced me to prove it. He's he's amazing amazing person He's been a huge impact in my life. Um, and it's mostly because of that. Um There's a quote, uh, don't don't stress too hard. You'll never get out alive. I like that one. Um, but I met Michael and I realized something very early on. He has a horrifically bad diet doesn't like to exercise Basically, the he's the apple said of me he he just does not let things Way on him as much as they would weigh on me He's able this to not take things in the same way and I'm like at first you're kind of like, man You take anything serious And then after a while I start learning from him. I'm like, you know, he probably will outlive me If I don't start doing some of what he's doing And and there's a probably a blend in the balance between that but I look at people like, you know, um Who's the billionaire? Who's the rich guy? Uh, Warren Buffett, right? He's like 90 some years old He has McDonald's and ice cream every day and Coca Cola every day, right? He's not underweight He's not a huge person, but he's definitely got some extra body fat But yet he seems to have a pretty happy fulfilled life Now he's very wealthy and wealth does make a difference because you just have other resources But I think it has more to do with that. He doesn't carry some of the stressful weight on himself Um, and so, you know, once again, some people it's a financial stress So he listened you got to put a plan together and and and do the same principles in your diet as you do financially Um, that's why I build prudent is I was financially stressed I was more financially driven to build prudent than I was health Um to drive to build prudent it turned out to change my health and financially I was able to you know, create more for my family. So um, so it's all um Stress is something that you have to work through and then I this is my challenge everybody out to that has kids is how do you if I'm I'm more of a stress case than my wife. So it's something that I work diligently on but how do you not pass that on? Right, because that's how it's passed on it's passed on for you to your kids And you can always if you're 75 years old, you can change it for them by starting to be it for you If you're 45 like me you care six you can change it for you to to help Recreate it for them and then teach them the life lessons that you're going through it If you don't have kids yet start working on it now so that you don't pass it on to them You know, don't pass on all these these emotional stressful moments. So Uh, great. You need to wait until tomorrow to lock in times people are texting me right now I'm not sure what they're saying, but with that said done y'all I need to go get my kids I get to go get my kids. I don't need to I get to I need to also. I guess that there's a there's rules I gotta follow but I get to with my kids. Um, because this is my job. This is what I get to do.
