00:00:19.030 --> 00:00:23.780
My aim with this podcast is to take away some of the imaginary roadblocks that are out there.

00:00:23.780 --> 00:00:28.431

00:00:37.726 --> 00:00:47.192
Hello and welcome to another episode of Underdogs, Bootstrappers, Game Changers.

00:00:47.192 --> 00:00:50.329
And boy, I've got a treat for you today.

00:00:50.329 --> 00:00:54.231
I've got a good friend here once again, Dr Shell.

00:00:55.060 --> 00:00:56.625
Hello everybody, Thanks for having me.

00:00:56.625 --> 00:00:57.408
I'm happy to be here.

00:00:58.421 --> 00:01:05.308
So Dr Shell is a badass in so many ways and she's number one longtime mixed, longtime mixed martial artists.

00:01:05.789 --> 00:01:24.676
Currently number one contender ranked number four uh in the world for bare knuckle fighting championships, bkfc, which is a professional bare knuckle uh boxing league, which is something, uh, conor McGregor just picked up yes, Conor McGregor is a co-owner, and it's one of the fastest growing combat sports and it's, it's uh, it's a really exciting sport.

00:01:24.676 --> 00:01:26.073
It's one of the fastest growing combat sports and it's a really exciting sport.

00:01:26.073 --> 00:01:28.896
It's one of those ones that you don't have to be a fighter to understand.

00:01:28.896 --> 00:01:31.721
It's go, go, go from the start.

00:01:31.981 --> 00:01:35.891
So Dr Shell is a bare knuckle boxer and doctor.

00:01:35.891 --> 00:01:41.625
She's obviously a doctor and her specialty is around hormonal health, blood work.

00:01:41.625 --> 00:01:46.960
Everything that kind of gets the race car ready to drive right is in your body.

00:01:46.960 --> 00:01:53.692
And she's also a wife to a cop who's out in the field every day, and three kids.

00:01:54.034 --> 00:01:57.368
Yep correct Three kids, nine seven and a three-year-old boy.

00:01:57.608 --> 00:01:59.534
So you heard all that right.

00:01:59.956 --> 00:02:12.902
Dr Shell is all three Underdog bootstrapper, game changer because she also owns her own clinic, and so I really wanted to have a conversation with Dr Shell today because I know how important fitness has been in my life.

00:02:13.866 --> 00:02:33.991
Some of you in the audience know my undergrads in biochemistry, huge fitness nut, been involved with the mixed martial arts world for a long time myself, weightlifting world, lots of different hobbies around sport and fitness and I think it's so important for business, and so Dr Shell and I have some interesting conversations, and that's what I want to help you with.

00:02:33.991 --> 00:02:42.763
Today is we're going to talk about fitness, because this avatar that you have to navigate life with it is important, it's strong, it is important, it's healthy.

00:02:42.763 --> 00:03:00.911
It is important that your stress levels are maintained and with business and you don't have any sort of fitness routine, it's like I tell people all the time, it's like you are going to need it for the stress, the fitness is going to be imperative because otherwise they can pick up a drink.

00:03:00.911 --> 00:03:10.213
And if your way in dealing with stress is to pick up a drink and you get into business, you're going to be picking up a drink all the time, or you can pick up a weight, right.

00:03:10.615 --> 00:03:18.913
Absolutely Positive outlets are very important for anyone who's trying to achieve great things or, you know, kind of fill their plate in life.

00:03:18.913 --> 00:03:20.524
And so you know mental.

00:03:20.524 --> 00:03:28.473
You know mental strength is a thing and you know it's hard to is, is a, is a thing and and um, you know it's hard to practice that without some sort of physical challenge.

00:03:28.473 --> 00:03:29.580
It it kind of goes hand in hand.

00:03:29.580 --> 00:03:37.211
When you're, when you're physically challenging yourself, um, that that really is when the, the mental uh gymnastics are done and and mental strength is made.

00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:39.021
Yeah, and where we're going to go.

00:03:39.021 --> 00:03:44.751
We're going to go to kind of base level today, and so some of you folks that been into fitness, I think you're going to get a ton out of this conversation.

00:03:44.751 --> 00:03:56.371
But also I want to make sure to get down to a level where, if you haven't started yet, you know it's cause I, one of my goals in this world is to build more kindhearted badasses, and part of that is we have to get you an avatar worthy of doing that.

00:03:56.371 --> 00:04:08.933
You know I get people that come up to me in the gym all the time, especially in the locker room, and they're like your, your goals, you know my fitness and stuff like that, and the thing is any of you could have what I have as far as fitness is concerned.

00:04:09.537 --> 00:04:12.063
Anybody, anybody could have what Dr Shell has.

00:04:12.205 --> 00:04:19.365
I absolutely feel that I feel that, uh, in in everything that I that I've done, even getting into mixed martial arts, I was, I was kind of thrown in there and I didn't have any training, I just fought.

00:04:19.365 --> 00:04:24.774
You know, 12 days later, um, you know, and um, you know it, it wasn't met with the biggest support.

00:04:24.774 --> 00:04:26.223
A lot of people are kind of like who is she?

00:04:26.223 --> 00:04:30.483
And uh, you know, I was trying to to influence, you know, and encourage all women to get into.

00:04:30.483 --> 00:04:32.088
It's kind of like, look at me like I didn't do it.

00:04:32.088 --> 00:04:42.110
You know little did I know that that um kind of attitude was going to be met with.

00:04:42.129 --> 00:04:44.853
Um, you know, you got the basics in line, you're fit and you're healthy.

00:04:44.853 --> 00:05:03.252
Um, you know there's a lot of fitness competitions that that we can do and, and you know, I bounced back and forth from competing in in fitness, uh, competition shows in in the bikini division and uh, you know, I, I, I qualified many times for the nationals and um, and um, yeah, I mean, I, I, I don't know why I got into bikini, but it's more so.

00:05:03.252 --> 00:05:16.413
Just, you compete and you strength train in the gym and you want to see where you stand, you want to compete in something, and so that competitive drive, you know, kind of got me in the door for fitness competitions, which you know aren't necessarily my thing.

00:05:16.413 --> 00:05:19.120
It's kind of out of my place to be in heels and hair and makeup.

00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:23.247
So you know, that's always a challenge that I try to get through when I do those competitions.

00:05:23.327 --> 00:05:28.524
But you know it's, it's totally opposite when I'm fighting, when I'm fighting, I'm, I'm, you know I'm, I'm calm the whole time.

00:05:28.524 --> 00:05:44.052
It really is my, um, my, my, my safe place and my, my place where I get to challenge myself and and that's um, it's um, it's hard to explain and and uh, and mixed martial arts is, is really the ultimate physical and mental challenge and it's a chess match.

00:05:44.052 --> 00:05:44.653
That's what I love exactly.

00:05:44.653 --> 00:05:49.783
It is a mental chess.

00:05:49.783 --> 00:05:53.197
A mental chess match, you have to be one step ahead of your opponent.

00:05:53.197 --> 00:05:55.586
You really have to be in tune with their body language.

00:05:55.586 --> 00:06:04.651
It's, it's a lot more than just going over the technique, and so there's a lot more um to having fighter iq than just going through the motions.

00:06:04.851 --> 00:06:06.904
It's so nice to have like backup plan too.

00:06:06.904 --> 00:06:07.165
Right.

00:06:07.165 --> 00:06:11.362
It's like, if you're like I boxers, you know like you're a bare knuckle boxer.

00:06:11.362 --> 00:06:14.088
It's like you have to be incredible at just boxing, you know it's like.

00:06:14.088 --> 00:06:18.665
But if you're kicking my butt boxing, I still have options in the mixed martial arts world, right.

00:06:19.386 --> 00:06:22.569
Exactly, and you know what, like I, my, um, my background is in MMA.

00:06:22.569 --> 00:07:03.348
I've had, gosh, I think, maybe 18 or so MMA fights, and so I'm very experienced in mixed martial arts and a lot of Muay Thai, and it's one of those things that my strength was always my one too which is you know the basics of what's needed in a boxing fight or really any fight, and you know that that that came very naturally as, as as a background in in tennis, I feel like just the swing of the racket, uh, came naturally for my one too, and um, yeah, it's just, uh, you know, owning on the basics for any competition or, or, um, athletics that you do is is very important, um, that's, and, and, and that's what, that's what I say for really anything is you, you, you got to own the basics, even even in health, it's, it's, you got to get the basics in line Yep Business too.

00:07:03.408 --> 00:07:04.149
It's like you know.

00:07:04.149 --> 00:07:06.312
It's like everybody overlooks the basics.

00:07:06.312 --> 00:07:11.346
It's like what's the trick, what's the hey, what's the miracle pill today that we're going to take to go out and be fit?

00:07:11.346 --> 00:07:15.882
It's like the basics, it's always miracle pill or miracle workout.

00:07:16.223 --> 00:07:26.975
You know like some some people will be, you know, doing just crazy workouts and stuff, but and and those can be fun and exert yourself in different ways, but for ultimate, you know kind of kind of strength training it's.

00:07:26.975 --> 00:07:28.877
I've been doing curls, you know, for 15 years.

00:07:28.877 --> 00:07:33.749
You know there's certain exercises that are, you know, of course, like you know squats, deadlifts, the.

00:07:33.749 --> 00:07:36.514
You know the, the foundational lifts.

00:07:36.699 --> 00:07:50.360
Let's get to that actually, because I want to talk a little bit about the way you and I I'll get involved in the conversation there too, like the way we learned to fitness right.

00:07:50.379 --> 00:07:51.262
Tell me the way you learned fitness.

00:07:51.262 --> 00:07:52.466
How did you like figure this fitness thing out?

00:07:52.466 --> 00:07:53.007
Yeah, you know what I?

00:07:53.007 --> 00:07:54.992
Um I, I was really really blessed with my my very first job.

00:07:54.992 --> 00:08:18.451
Uh, during high school, I worked at a nutrition store and so I was in the environment as a teenager, seeing these adults who were very in shape and they were interested in their health and they were using their protein every weekend or, you know, every month, and you know are coming in to purchase protein every month and you know they're on these supplements and and just just very fit people and it's it's adults who were just working out every day.

00:08:18.490 --> 00:08:28.028
And so, you know, I I was very lucky to be exposed to that environment and and then myself started doing like protein and you know fish oil pills and things like that.

00:08:28.028 --> 00:08:36.986
And, um, you know that's what initially inspired me like hey, like maybe I should go, you know, try to do some exercise, um, and and kind of get back into athletics.

00:08:36.986 --> 00:08:40.702
I had a background in in childhood in tennis and sports and things like that.

00:08:40.702 --> 00:08:43.812
So I was athletic as a kid, but I kind of lost it in high school and things like that.

00:08:43.812 --> 00:08:46.519
So I was athletic as a kid, but I kind of lost it in high school.

00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:54.201
Um and um, yeah, it's, it's um something that, uh, I kind of just pushed myself into going and what I initially did was anything that I was comfortable with and I did cross country and track in school.

00:08:54.260 --> 00:08:59.187
So basically what I do is I just turned the treadmill on on flat and um, I would just run, I'd run.

00:08:59.187 --> 00:09:08.969
For you know, I just listened to my music and you know I'd run a couple of miles Um and um you know, and that would be it A lot of women don't realize that they should pick up some weights, right?

00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:11.298
You know what, and and for the longest time I didn't realize that.

00:09:11.298 --> 00:09:14.576
You know I was working at the nutrition store and you know a lot of them are.

00:09:14.576 --> 00:09:19.705
You know the bikini models they're on the cover models, their fitness models that are, you know, obviously on on supplements and things like that.

00:09:19.705 --> 00:09:46.683
So initially you know that's what I started going into and you know, then I competed just for fun, to kind of see where I stood against you know, fit competitors and I did the bikini competition and you know I won and my goal was kind of like dang, like I, I, I have potential, like maybe I could, you know, go for.

00:09:46.683 --> 00:09:49.030
You know national qualifications and things like that.

00:09:49.030 --> 00:10:09.700
And so you know that was just my goal because you know, competitive drive is something that, um, it changed my changes, my training, the way that, the way that I think and the way that I um approach my training and, um, there's no doubt, it makes it more like exactly.

00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:09.903
Um, there's no doubt it makes it more like exactly.

00:10:09.903 --> 00:10:11.447
There's something about any type of competition that really drives me.

00:10:11.447 --> 00:10:13.174
It's not like, um, you know, and it's not an, it's not a negative pressure in any way either.

00:10:13.174 --> 00:10:14.720
It's just I love to compete and and, um, I've, I've, I've really always been like that.

00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:15.841
I've always wanted to compete.

00:10:15.841 --> 00:10:23.653
You know, I had an older brother and I just, I always wanted to, to, to, to, to try to be better and and, and always, always be against someone who's bigger and stronger.

00:10:23.653 --> 00:10:26.076
And just, the challenge is, is something about that?

00:10:26.076 --> 00:10:26.657
That's what I like.

00:10:26.657 --> 00:10:36.645
And so, um, you know, in in strength training, yes, you can see your body change and you're getting stronger, um, but I really like the goals of, of, um, you know, trying to get it all, all throughout the body.

00:10:36.645 --> 00:10:42.053
It encourages you to do squats and not just, do you know, shoulders and upper body and and, uh, you know, you're working on your whole body.

00:10:42.053 --> 00:10:46.419
And the second the second I learned about weights was the second that I really saw my body transforming.

00:10:46.620 --> 00:10:48.844
Yeah, tell them about the efficiencies around.

00:10:48.844 --> 00:10:53.571
You know, it's not just lifting away, it's not just putting on muscle, cause that's what women fear of Like.

00:10:53.571 --> 00:10:56.315
Talk to, uh, talk to me about the efficiencies of strength training.

00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:56.980
Yeah.

00:10:56.980 --> 00:10:58.682
So I mean I mean wait, wait, wait.

00:10:58.682 --> 00:10:59.261
What do you mean?

00:10:59.903 --> 00:11:04.586
The fact that when you're lifting weights, when you're putting on muscle, what that does for body fat.

00:11:05.427 --> 00:11:24.003
I mean so I mean the way that muscle works is that muscle is highly metabolic and it's something that it's going to be burning calories and helping us with our glucose storage and production and usage, and the more muscle that you have to, the more insulin receptors that you have.

00:11:24.003 --> 00:11:26.027
So there's a lot going on under the hood that we can benefit from.

00:11:26.027 --> 00:11:26.427
Muscle.

00:11:26.427 --> 00:11:35.820
Muscle really does dictate our metabolism and a lot of us, you know, kind of forget about that, or or you know, maybe haven't had that discussion to learn that.

00:11:35.820 --> 00:11:58.304
I certainly didn't know that for, like I said, for the longest time I was dealing with customers who had a lot of muscle and I didn't realize that they were strength training and you know, until we realized that as women, how important muscle is, uh, for longevity and our uh, you know, our energy, our health, our mood um, just the way that our body, just the way that our body works and how hard it is, as we age, to keep that muscle.

00:11:58.585 --> 00:12:02.370
Um, you know, we, we, we got to take advantage of our youth and and you, your strength.

00:12:02.370 --> 00:12:04.653
Train now, because it only gets harder as we age.

00:12:04.753 --> 00:12:07.277
There's a historic nature to bustle too.

00:12:07.277 --> 00:12:10.142
It's like I'm sure you heard this like rolling jiu-jitsu and stuff.

00:12:10.142 --> 00:12:13.594
It's like the old man strength, you know.

00:12:13.594 --> 00:12:28.246
It's like people actually tease me about having that these days, the old man strength, and there is, there's a certain memory to muscle, and so that's why the earlier you start it, in my opinion like the the more you can get it back easier, the more it lasts, you know it's like.

00:12:28.246 --> 00:12:30.783
But for women too I want to bring your point home.

00:12:30.783 --> 00:12:39.131
You know I tend to do that on this show is like uh, adding some strength training to your workout will also have efficiencies in fat burning and you'll look better.

00:12:39.760 --> 00:12:40.623
Absolutely.

00:12:40.623 --> 00:12:53.442
If our ultimate goal is weight loss and fat burning, cardio is is good, it's important, it warms us up, it does burn some calories, but, but the ultimate metabolic boost is going to be from building muscle.

00:12:53.442 --> 00:13:06.528
Um, and, and I always say, like, the cool thing about building muscle is not only are you built, burning calories, uh, during that workout, you're now burning calories when you go home and when you're eating, when you're sleeping, you're constantly a fat burning machine.

00:13:06.528 --> 00:13:07.750
When you're building that muscle.

00:13:07.750 --> 00:13:16.484
And for for, for women, um, you know, I commonly come across the fear that we'll get too bulky and um, you gotta work hard to be bulky.

00:13:16.543 --> 00:13:16.884
It really is.

00:13:16.884 --> 00:13:24.067
I've been working my whole life to get bulky and you know, when I lean out for fights I can look pretty shredded and pretty jacked, but normally it's it's.

00:13:24.067 --> 00:13:28.433
It's not something like it's, just not something that I see in my future ever getting to a point.

00:13:28.433 --> 00:13:38.605
Um, you know, everywhere I reach my goals you know it is something that, um, yes, women can get bulky, but you, you, you, it's not something that we can really do, naturally, let's, let's talk to them.

00:13:38.904 --> 00:13:40.105
Um, I want to back up a little bit.

00:13:40.105 --> 00:13:41.988
Let's talk to them about how to get started.

00:13:41.988 --> 00:13:44.530
I'll weigh in a little bit and I want you to pick up after me.

00:13:44.530 --> 00:13:54.865
Um, I started, um, lifting weights by getting a book called strength training anatomy and in fact, like, uh, I am going to buy somebody that book that's watching the episode.

00:13:54.865 --> 00:14:00.163
So if you're the first one to put uh something in the comments or reach out to me first, we'll make it an Easter egg hunt.

00:14:00.163 --> 00:14:12.427
Whoever I hear from first or see from first, I'm going to buy you this book and it's called strength training anatomy and what I love about it is, um, it will not only show you the exercise but it also shows these color diagrams about the muscle, and it worked.

00:14:12.427 --> 00:14:16.543
And so, basically, I had read about like you should do.

00:14:16.724 --> 00:14:18.347
I can't remember at the time what the.

00:14:18.347 --> 00:14:19.770
It's always changing.

00:14:19.770 --> 00:14:24.626
We know like what's the recommendations and, depending on who you talk to, there's different recommendations.

00:14:24.626 --> 00:14:27.274
We know like what's the recommendations and, depending on who you talk to, there's different different recommendations.

00:14:27.274 --> 00:14:28.499
But at that time it was like three body parts.

00:14:28.499 --> 00:14:33.692
You know like uh, three, three sets, um, uh, 10 reps around there, depending on what you're trying to do.

00:14:33.692 --> 00:14:35.443
You know I'm going to leave it right at that.

00:14:35.443 --> 00:14:48.374
It gets more complex, right, but you basically the gist is you go in this book and you pick out a couple exercises for your back day, you know, for your, um, uh, leg day, that sort of stuff, and, um, I thought the book was invaluable and it really.

00:14:48.374 --> 00:14:52.269
It really does a good job of explaining, and that's how I learned to lift weights, was that?

00:14:52.269 --> 00:14:54.125
And then I picked up more stuff along the way.

00:14:54.125 --> 00:14:55.874
Did you have somebody that taught you how?

00:14:56.336 --> 00:15:00.850
you know what I did, and I was really, um, just sticking my nose into it.

00:15:00.850 --> 00:15:02.192
I just knew that I needed it.

00:15:02.192 --> 00:15:13.023
Um, like I said, I was just blessed to be able to be in that environment where it just kind of clicked in my brain Like this is you know something that, um, it looks like it's pretty important you know, these, these people are really healthy and that's what I want to be like.

00:15:13.043 --> 00:15:39.950
I want to be strong and confident, um and and no-transcript the treadmill.

00:15:39.950 --> 00:15:48.822
So I'd go every day run a couple of miles, you know, keep my head down and you know, they, they, they really have a strong, aesthetic looking body, like that is coming from from weights, like all all of them are doing.

00:15:48.822 --> 00:15:50.888
Actually, a lot of them are incredibly strong.

00:15:50.888 --> 00:15:57.581
A lot of those, those women, are really incredibly strong doing strength training as a, as a daily um incorporation into their, their, their workouts.

00:15:57.601 --> 00:16:11.123
But, um, uh, you know when, when I started incorporating, uh, weight training, eventually I, I picked I mean, I just Googled kind of you know top exercises for shoulders and that seemed to be one that you know I could hide in the corner and do the free weights Right.

00:16:11.123 --> 00:16:30.147
So I, I, I, quick, I learned a few exercises that I could comfortably do, you know, in whatever space in the gym, and I would add kind of one exercise on, you know, at a time, like as I became you know, you know good and comfortable at what I was doing, on at a time as I became good and comfortable at what I was doing, and I really did the same thing over time.

00:16:30.147 --> 00:16:36.390
I really am a fan of if you're uncomfortable, just baby steps and do the same thing every time, and consistency is very powerful when you're first starting out.

00:16:36.390 --> 00:16:41.211
That's one of the easiest ways to really see the results start to come to.

00:16:41.460 --> 00:16:46.350
You know and that's something I definitely wanted us to get to today too it's like it doesn't have to be.

00:16:46.350 --> 00:16:51.240
We're giving you the benefits of weightlifting and I think eventually, no matter what you do, you should add that to your routine.

00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:57.253
But it's like, start with it, like we both really like to get in the gym and hit the bag.

00:16:57.253 --> 00:16:59.206
You know like both of us really enjoy that.

00:16:59.206 --> 00:17:12.065
You hit pads with your coach, I'm sure you know, I with your coach, I'm sure you know I used to get in hit pads all the time.

00:17:12.085 --> 00:17:14.089
Uh, you know, it's like I train um long sword with my brother at a medieval um martial arts gym.

00:17:14.089 --> 00:17:30.057
You know it's like, and so like, think of things that are things you're interested in, right, and like then, you know like, step into the other stuff too, because, like we're talking about, it's like if you're out there and, let's say, boxing's your thing, or you know like dance or you know whatever, you'll eventually get to the point where I'd like to be a little bit better at this.

00:17:30.057 --> 00:17:34.609
And then, if you add the weightlifting, if you add a little bit of cardio to that, you will get better at it, right.

00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:39.185
Absolutely, and and the the whole point of longevity and preserving age is muscle.

00:17:39.185 --> 00:17:56.586
Muscle is what keeps us alive and, um, you know, no, no matter what sport you're doing, if there's no, um, resistance, uh training and involved in that, and we're not, um you know, building muscle, then then we should be trying to incorporate a little bit of strength training into to whatever our, our, sport is.

00:17:56.685 --> 00:17:58.412
And start by being just active.

00:17:58.412 --> 00:18:02.884
In some yoga, you know like it starts with being active and finding something you like and you'll stay with.

00:18:02.884 --> 00:18:07.807
And then please, for the love of the world, don't get the worst trainer on the planet.

00:18:07.807 --> 00:18:12.385
If you, if you get these trainers that kick your butt day one, you know it's like shame on them.

00:18:12.385 --> 00:18:14.406
You know it shouldn't be like that.

00:18:14.406 --> 00:18:16.848
It should be going in and going through the motions.

00:18:16.848 --> 00:18:18.980
That should be day one, that should be day two.

00:18:18.980 --> 00:18:29.403
And then, if you're can't find somebody that's going to be easygoing like that on you, please go in, just play with the machine rates, get this shrink training anatomy book, you know, just go through the motions and what you'll find.

00:18:29.403 --> 00:18:33.243
And anybody can go through the motions, right, it's not hard to go through the motions.

00:18:33.243 --> 00:18:43.308
And what you'll find is you'll get in the environment, right, you'll start to see other people, you'll start to be like you know what this is a little bit, I could do a little bit more than this and then you'll eventually find yourself stepping into it.

00:18:43.628 --> 00:18:47.653
I can't stand when I hear that a trainer or a person has kicked their own butt.

00:18:47.653 --> 00:18:48.895
You know, like day one.

00:18:48.895 --> 00:18:54.663
And they don't go back, right, yep, I mean I've heard trainers going too hard, Also, trainers going too light.

00:18:55.326 --> 00:19:00.867
Um, you know, I've I've had patients, you know, really struggling with weight loss and then when we, you know, get down to like what, what are you doing at the gym?

00:19:00.867 --> 00:19:09.392
And you know, I had one lady who the trainer, um, she recommended that she always needs to be talking, right, Because because otherwise, like, she gets too stressed out.

00:19:09.392 --> 00:19:20.511
So, you know, they they always had to be, you know, discussing, and, and you know, when I asked her about the intensity of her workout, it turned out that talking, you know, did take her concentration, um, you know, out of really mentally focusing into the workout itself.

00:19:20.511 --> 00:19:31.516
And you know, I find that myself too, it's something that, uh, you know, when you are working out, you, you do get the best benefits when your mind and your body is, is completely into it and connected.

00:19:31.536 --> 00:19:46.122
And, um, you know, sometimes distractions, even even in life distractions as well too, if our mind is elsewhere, um, you know, we, we don't get the best benefit of of that workout, and so that that's why I love a personal workout, to just zone in, just talk to yourself, talk positive to yourself and and and grow, and, and.

00:19:46.122 --> 00:19:51.105
Then, you know, after the gym, you know, deal with, deal with life problems, you know, stronger than you were coming in.

00:19:51.266 --> 00:19:53.971
I'm glad you went there because it starts with the way I said.

00:19:53.971 --> 00:19:54.422
You know.

00:19:54.422 --> 00:20:08.576
It's like it starts with finding something you enjoy, you know, and then getting a little bit more competitive at it even if it's personally, you know and then involve the weight lifting and stuff like that, um, slowly but surely, and then you'll get to the point where it's like you live for that extra right.

00:20:08.576 --> 00:20:13.530
It's like you see me in the gym and I actually get a lot of problems at my weightlifting gym.

00:20:13.530 --> 00:20:29.516
Uh, I get bullied on a little bit there because, like, I have a face at the gym and it's not a face against the world, it's a face against myself, right, it's like I'm getting through stuff that's stressing me out, and so I don't have a very pretty face and I stick to myself and I have headphones on and I'm in my own, other world.

00:20:29.516 --> 00:20:33.310
I listen to my instrumental music and I am conquering something at that moment.

00:20:33.371 --> 00:20:36.605
And you can see that in my training routine too.

00:20:36.605 --> 00:20:39.471
You know it's like, and you will get there right.

00:20:39.471 --> 00:20:43.265
It's like it starts with this, and then you'll get to the point where like this can be an amazing tool.

00:20:43.265 --> 00:20:47.289
And it starts with this, and then you'll get to the point where like this can be an amazing tool, and then, I don't know, personally, I get a, I'm a little sick.

00:20:47.289 --> 00:20:49.673
I guess I beg for the pain, like, and it's harder and harder to find it.

00:20:49.673 --> 00:20:57.325
You know, because once you get used to it, it's harder and harder to get there.

00:20:57.384 --> 00:21:00.308
Sometimes it's uncomfortable at first, but then you get to learn that.

00:21:00.308 --> 00:21:01.910
You know pain is how you get growth.

00:21:01.910 --> 00:21:04.212
You know like people can betray you or lie to you.

00:21:04.212 --> 00:21:04.794
There's a lot of things.

00:21:04.794 --> 00:21:07.236
You know someone, one of your best friends, can die one one morning.

00:21:07.236 --> 00:21:17.246
There's there's a lot of things that really hurt you in life.

00:21:17.246 --> 00:21:20.209
And, uh, the pain of the workout doesn't seem so bad, but it really does test your limits and it teaches you.

00:21:20.209 --> 00:21:22.030
You know one type of pain that you you can, um, handle Andable.

00:21:22.351 --> 00:21:22.490
It's.

00:21:22.490 --> 00:21:25.193
It's so helpful in so many ways, and especially for business.

00:21:25.193 --> 00:21:25.913
You're going to need it.

00:21:25.913 --> 00:21:27.556
It's a good outlet Most.

00:21:27.556 --> 00:21:33.172
I don't know anybody successful that doesn't have some sort of fitness in their life, you know it's.

00:21:33.172 --> 00:21:34.320
It's a discipline thing it's.

00:21:34.320 --> 00:21:37.846
It's so many levels you know it's important it's so important.

00:21:37.865 --> 00:21:43.534
I always wondered how in in medical school you know I was I was one of one of the few people who worked out, and it just makes you wonder.

00:21:43.534 --> 00:21:45.655
I mean, you know such smart how is that possible?

00:21:45.655 --> 00:21:50.325
They're such smart people you know, they're, they're so smart and they know how important exercise is.

00:21:50.325 --> 00:21:59.125
But you know, sometimes, even knowing about it, it um doesn't mean that you necessarily practice it or, um, you know, see it as something that that you need.

00:21:59.125 --> 00:22:01.328
So, um, it's, it's, it's.

00:22:01.489 --> 00:22:10.380
It's hard to understand that that um, that was a big issue I had in school is like I was, I was in a biochemistry track and I kept having professors that were overweight and that sort of stuff.

00:22:10.380 --> 00:22:12.365
I'm like, look, you know this stuff.

00:22:12.365 --> 00:22:14.771
You know it's like how can you be overweight?

00:22:14.771 --> 00:22:27.914
And I, actually there was one guy, he was like six, five probably, huge muscular guy and he ran this uh department that actually I later did research in because I'm like here's a biochemist, that practice, which he was a monster you know.

00:22:27.914 --> 00:22:36.263
And so, like I ended up, uh, um, working in a spider lab for a year, uh, studying amino acid content in spider silk, yeah, and it was.

00:22:36.263 --> 00:22:49.935
It was honestly mostly because this guy who was a biochemist PhD, like he was like what I thought you know a biochem should be, and that was somebody that like understood fitness and was into like fitness workouts, that sort of stuff.

00:22:49.935 --> 00:22:52.806
I like understanding it on a very molecular level.

00:22:52.806 --> 00:22:54.372
You know what's going on in my body.

00:22:54.372 --> 00:22:55.174
I really do.

00:22:55.576 --> 00:22:59.407
But I often say to that that, uh, fit people are going to be the ones who change the world.

00:22:59.407 --> 00:23:10.612
Fit people are the ones who are going to be, are are able to take care of their own health and handle their own businesses, and they're the ones who are like this is what's happening to me and this is what everyone else needs to do.

00:23:10.612 --> 00:23:22.934
So I think a lot of us are the empaths as well, too, and you know the big farmer and you know all the people who are, you know, not, you know, just thinking about themselves and things like that.

00:23:22.934 --> 00:23:26.069
I think they have a lot to worry about when, when fit people get into important positions.

00:23:26.460 --> 00:23:29.710
It's so important to have some fitness in your life for so many reasons.

00:23:29.710 --> 00:23:33.269
And you know, like here's the thing too, it's like there's a lot of kindhearted people in the world.

00:23:33.269 --> 00:23:38.726
You know, it's like this thing right here is is the most beautiful thing in the world.

00:23:38.726 --> 00:23:46.796
You know, it's like the and there's a lot of kindhearted people out there that maybe don't have the external power yet.

00:23:46.796 --> 00:23:53.824
Right, and that's one of the groups of people that I'm like trying to bring up in the world is like you can create all this.

00:23:53.824 --> 00:23:54.605
This can all be.

00:23:54.605 --> 00:23:55.709
You can't create this.

00:23:55.709 --> 00:23:59.987
You are this, you are empathy, you are caring, you are heart.

00:23:59.987 --> 00:24:01.590
Now, just bring yourself this.

00:24:01.590 --> 00:24:02.251
Get in the gym.

00:24:02.251 --> 00:24:05.066
That's why I say I want to make more kindhearted badasses.

00:24:05.066 --> 00:24:07.631
You know, if you're a kindhearted person, please get in the gym.

00:24:07.631 --> 00:24:10.826
Please take a mixed martial arts class, because the world needs more of you.

00:24:11.267 --> 00:24:12.150
Absolutely, and you can.

00:24:12.150 --> 00:24:18.065
You can have the kindest heart of the world, but you know, if you aren't a bad ass and you're not taking care of your body, you can.

00:24:18.065 --> 00:24:18.744
You can get a step.

00:24:18.744 --> 00:24:19.665
You can get walked over.

00:24:19.906 --> 00:24:22.269
And for those of us who try to act our best and follow with a good heart.

00:24:22.269 --> 00:24:45.507
It's something that can be very crushing and it takes a lot of your energy, and so I recommend anyone if you want to change the world or help people and influence people, we have to take care of our body.

00:24:45.507 --> 00:24:56.313
We, we gotta be strong because you, you, you reach a lot of um, a lot of um negative reactions when you're, when you're trying to, to, to be positive.

00:24:56.420 --> 00:24:57.982
I mean, I always give this analogy too.

00:24:57.982 --> 00:25:14.387
It's like I've started treating my life as a role playing character I don't even remember how many years ago and it's like you know those video games where you build the character and then you make them chop wood and then they get better at that and they get stronger, or you make them lift that rock and the strength meter goes up.

00:25:14.387 --> 00:25:16.106
Read the book and the intelligent meter.

00:25:16.106 --> 00:25:16.701
The second.

00:25:16.740 --> 00:25:20.727
I started looking at that as my life, my world changed right.

00:25:20.727 --> 00:25:24.740
It's like lifting a weight changed right.

00:25:24.740 --> 00:25:27.816
It's like lifting a weight and I see this little bar going up reading a book and see this little bar going up training sword fighting.

00:25:27.816 --> 00:25:31.913
You know, it's like this little bar going up might not ever use that, right, but it's like.

00:25:31.913 --> 00:25:36.290
I think it's important to be constantly building that character because you never know what comes up.

00:25:36.290 --> 00:25:38.138
And my dad's 70 years old.

00:25:38.138 --> 00:25:43.407
He got hit by a car the other day and just walked away from it Cause he's been like working out.

00:25:43.407 --> 00:25:44.229
He has a lot of muscle.

00:25:44.229 --> 00:25:45.111
You know that sort of stuff.

00:25:45.751 --> 00:25:47.575
Sometimes you don't know you need it until you need it.

00:25:48.259 --> 00:25:48.842
Absolutely.

00:25:48.842 --> 00:25:50.445
That's why it's it's so important.

00:25:50.445 --> 00:25:52.050
So you're going to need it for business.

00:25:52.050 --> 00:25:55.750
When I'm talking about pre-work which I have those videos out there I'm like pre-work for business.

00:25:55.750 --> 00:25:58.267
One of the things you need is a is a good workout routine.

00:25:58.267 --> 00:25:59.671
Find something that will get you started.

00:25:59.799 --> 00:26:06.737
Yep just like a car it's.

00:26:06.737 --> 00:26:22.637
It's so crazy to me, actually, that people know that if you've got a car sitting in the garage and it's been sitting there for 10 years, and you're going to go out on a race or even take it on a Sunday drive, you know it's like you're going to check the fluids, you're going to check the battery, you're going to, like, check the tires.

00:26:22.637 --> 00:26:32.676
It's like that thing's going to need a look over before you get it in action right, otherwise you can't expect it to perform, you know, and we don't think about that with our bodies, and that is insane to me.

00:26:32.676 --> 00:26:40.622
And so, dr Shell, we're going to talk now about hormones, blood work, that sort of stuff, which is your specialty.

00:26:40.622 --> 00:26:42.311
What should anybody do?

00:26:42.311 --> 00:26:45.900
Uh, especially if they're looking at a workout routine first.

00:26:46.701 --> 00:26:59.078
I mean, you know what, when we don't have things under the hood in line, such as our hormones, our vitamins, certain things that are very important for our metabolism, we get weight loss resistance, which is very common.

00:26:59.078 --> 00:27:05.578
As we age, it gets even more difficult to control if we're trying to play catch up.

00:27:05.578 --> 00:27:33.494
But there are certain things that if we don't have in balance, you can work as hard as you want at the gym, eat the beautiful diet, and you'll see no results, and it gets very frustrating, you know and oftentimes those are the people who are just racking their brain for why their beautiful diet and consistent exercise isn't having any effect at all, and most often it's simple vitamin hormone deficiencies that just need to be balanced out.

00:27:33.494 --> 00:27:59.755
And so there's a certain panel of hormones in labs that I put together over the last kind of six, seven years that I've just learned that these are just the foundational hormones and biomarkers that we need to understand for people in order to have optimal health, and I'm often the doctor that people will come to when they're seeing a chronic disease develop in the body and they're not yet ready for a medication so often conventional medicine.

00:27:59.795 --> 00:28:05.990
Unless you're ready to pull out that script pad, we don't really have an explanation for those patients.

00:28:05.990 --> 00:28:14.073
They're often just waiting in limbo and left to fend for themselves and find personal trainers and things like that of what they should do, but there's no real protocol.

00:28:14.073 --> 00:28:18.535
It might be, you know, eat whole foods, cut out your sugar, but there's no, there's no real direction.

00:28:18.535 --> 00:28:34.046
And you know that that's what I really stress in my patients and I work for them because it's one of those things like once you understand the basics of what you need with your health, it's really easy to get them in line and then use the basic natural lifestyle good exercise, healthy diet to put that all together.

00:28:34.509 --> 00:28:43.096
You know, and that's so I had I'd been working out about 26 times a week at one point and I started to feel a little off 26 times a week.

00:28:43.455 --> 00:28:48.676
Yeah, everybody wants to like count through it, which I'm glad to do with anybody if they want to.

00:28:48.676 --> 00:28:52.878
But, yeah, 26 times a week, and I was actually running a business full time at the same time.

00:28:52.878 --> 00:28:56.519
But, and then other things, you know like there's time in life.

00:28:56.519 --> 00:28:57.682
You know there really is.

00:28:57.682 --> 00:29:02.273
But so I started like I think this personally.

00:29:02.273 --> 00:29:19.234
It's like I started to feel off and I noticed that because I was using my body at its very peak level, right, and so I went to several doctors and that's not like me at all, because I'm very doctor avoidant and they want they wouldn't, they'd say, oh no, you're getting older.

00:29:19.234 --> 00:29:21.265
You know, it's like over and over again, like you're getting older and you know it's like.

00:29:21.265 --> 00:29:28.682
I finally found one doctor that cared and listened, right, and I won't go into the rest of the story, but they were dead wrong in telling me I was just getting older.

00:29:29.002 --> 00:29:29.323
Absolutely.

00:29:29.323 --> 00:29:32.308
Oftentimes we're told the story you're just getting older.

00:29:32.308 --> 00:29:36.499
That's the reason for your symptoms, but we know how to, we know how to fix that.

00:29:36.499 --> 00:29:38.202
So it's not just getting older.

00:29:38.202 --> 00:29:49.082
There there's supplements and and vitamins, and things that we can replenish certain things that we don't absorb well as we age, certain things that we know aren't in our diet, um, and and so it it.

00:29:49.082 --> 00:29:51.773
Um, it certainly isn't true to just blame it on aging.

00:29:51.773 --> 00:30:02.734
Certainly, those effects are, are maybe, um, you know, more susceptible and more pronounced because we're aging, but that doesn't mean that we can't fix it, and and oftentimes there's not a medication.

00:30:02.734 --> 00:30:04.218
So maybe that's the confusion.

00:30:05.019 --> 00:30:19.461
um, you know that, um, well, that, that, that let's go into that and, if you're okay with it, like I know, you've talked about this before, it's like it should be malpractice if you're not looking at blood work and vitamin and hormone deficiencies before you're just giving a drug.

00:30:19.701 --> 00:30:49.998
I, I, I, I absolutely believe that there's certain things that we commonly do, that that physicians in conventional medicine commonly do, and it's supported by insurance companies and policies, and oftentimes insurance companies dictate how physicians get to train and treat patients and so oftentimes, due to insurance reimbursements and poor reimbursements for the amount of time, it's kind of a tell me your symptom, here's the medication and that's all that they have time to.

00:30:49.998 --> 00:30:58.621
So it makes sense when we allow insurance to dictate how providers are funded and reimbursed, and that's unfortunate.

00:30:58.621 --> 00:31:08.938
I think if doctors had more time and better reimbursement and more reimbursement for prevention, if what we actually know was supported in the policies of insurance, then then absolutely we would.

00:31:08.938 --> 00:31:12.445
We would have way more people on fiber instead of statins.

00:31:12.445 --> 00:31:23.741
We have way more people on, you know, fiber and and good, healthy diet and understanding like what we need more in our diet, instead of just waiting for the metformin or, um, you know, a blood sugar medication to come in.

00:31:24.250 --> 00:31:28.376
Diagnosing the kids with depression, anxiety and not checking vitamin D levels.

00:31:28.436 --> 00:31:29.557
Exactly, Exactly, there's.

00:31:29.557 --> 00:31:38.329
There's so many illnesses that we commonly see in some of the most common chronic conditions high cholesterol, high blood sugar, insulin resistance, obesity.

00:31:38.329 --> 00:31:48.525
A lot of those are really a quick fix and oftentimes if you're not ready for that prescription or you don't want to accept that prescription yet, you're not given additional answers.

00:31:48.525 --> 00:31:59.866
It's not something that you get five different options, it's, it's, um, it's really a one way, or, you know, come back when you're ready to accept your, your fate your blood work too.

00:31:59.948 --> 00:32:03.204
It's like demand your blood work and then demand more than the basic panels Cause.

00:32:03.204 --> 00:32:05.032
A lot of times this is just my experience You'll.

00:32:05.032 --> 00:32:07.641
You can weigh in on it for sure better than I can, but it's like my.

00:32:12.410 --> 00:32:30.525
In my own experience they only usually want to give you a couple blood tests and you know those will only tell you so much, absolutely, and and, um, you know it's, it's, um, it's something that a lot of the blood work that is done in your annual labs it's just making sure you're not going to die, it's not making sure you're you're, you're healthy and you're um, you know, it's just, it's just making sure that your liver's good, your, your kidneys are good, um, you know.

00:32:30.525 --> 00:32:38.776
And and then, of course, your blood sugar and your cholesterol, because if those get flagged to the level that we need a prescription, you really are a lifelong patient.

00:32:38.776 --> 00:32:45.778
Um and uh, you know I, I hate to say that, but unfortunately, under insurance reimbursement, that's just the pathway that it goes.

00:32:45.778 --> 00:32:51.619
And, um, you know, patients don't get the right lifestyle discussion of of how we can do it naturally.

00:32:51.619 --> 00:32:54.633
And there there's, you know, naturally sounds like foo-foo, but it's, it's not.

00:32:54.633 --> 00:32:56.317
It's not a special supplement.

00:32:56.317 --> 00:32:59.612
Um, you know that that's um trademarked by, you know.

00:32:59.612 --> 00:33:01.212
You know a company that I support, or anything it's.

00:33:01.212 --> 00:33:05.698
You know it really is fiber.

00:33:05.698 --> 00:33:07.440
It's why cholesterol is building up.

00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:09.781
We don't have fiber in our, in our, our food.

00:33:10.061 --> 00:33:16.435
You know, I was thinking too, like it should be uh, something that is is um is so, so get this.

00:33:16.435 --> 00:33:18.703
This is what I think is a policy of what it should be.

00:33:18.703 --> 00:33:26.122
So any fast food drive-thru restaurant, they should have to give you a little pack of psyllium husk capsules.

00:33:26.122 --> 00:33:30.601
You know they should be acknowledging that they are making chronic.

00:33:30.601 --> 00:33:38.644
The chronic disease epidemic just skyrocket when we know that of course it is a lot of fast food and we can't just expect people to all of a sudden, just you know, cut out fast food.

00:33:38.644 --> 00:33:39.650
You know we have to.

00:33:39.650 --> 00:33:42.377
People are at all different levels and we need to take baby steps.

00:33:42.377 --> 00:33:53.077
And if we can get these big corporations who are just feeding you know people, food, we should at least be providing those people with the supplement to just complete the meal the best that we can.

00:33:53.538 --> 00:33:54.461
You know, and and and.

00:33:54.461 --> 00:33:58.942
When you don't have a fiber meal, what that does is is you're collecting that, that cholesterol.

00:33:58.942 --> 00:34:01.356
That cholesterol is collecting, uh, same with that blood sugar.

00:34:01.356 --> 00:34:07.376
Your, your blood sugar is skyrocketing, your insulin is shooting up, um, and so you need fiber to those meals.

00:34:07.376 --> 00:34:08.898
And then, of course, you know, focus on fiber.

00:34:08.898 --> 00:34:10.061
You know all throughout the day.

00:34:10.061 --> 00:34:18.014
But for any meal that you don't have fiber in, you can just expect your cholesterol and blood sugar sugar to skyrocket.

00:34:18.014 --> 00:34:24.773
And so more restaurants and fast foods or Uber eats, you know, made it a thing like let's, let's, let's, defeat chronic disease, like let's change it, like.

00:34:24.773 --> 00:34:27.536
Fiber is a huge part of that that we don't talk about.

00:34:27.795 --> 00:34:28.896
We've talked about that before.

00:34:28.896 --> 00:34:35.885
It's kind of like the idea of folks is like okay, if you're going to have the crappy food which we all know, it's like McDonald's is not good for you, you know.

00:34:35.885 --> 00:34:52.610
It's like uh no-transcript.

00:34:52.730 --> 00:34:54.518
You know, diet is something that I struggle with.

00:34:54.518 --> 00:35:06.039
It's almost like I work out to eat what I want and sometimes that is like McDonald's or Jack in the box, and you know I know what's healthy for me and, and you know, I really I really struggle with this.

00:35:06.039 --> 00:35:10.182
You know I get so passionate about it because I feel like I'm just breaking it down to the basics.

00:35:10.182 --> 00:35:18.893
It really is the basics and you know, sometimes we make it complicated, like it has to be a fancy supplement or something that, um, people are always like what hey?

00:35:18.913 --> 00:35:20.960
Tyler, what's the three magic supplements?

00:35:20.981 --> 00:35:21.161
Yeah.

00:35:21.161 --> 00:35:22.385
What's the secret for it?

00:35:22.385 --> 00:35:22.931
And?

00:35:23.331 --> 00:35:28.099
supplements do like, unless it's something like Dr Shell's like vitamin D does a lot, you know.

00:35:28.099 --> 00:35:43.661
Uh, fiber does a lot psyllium husk, but but when you're talking about performance supple supplements, like we're talking protein powders creatine is a good supplement, these are good but we're talking about maybe doing 3% when you're at a certain level, in my opinion.

00:35:43.661 --> 00:35:44.422
What's your opinion?

00:35:44.570 --> 00:35:44.769
Absolutely.

00:35:44.769 --> 00:35:51.563
I mean as as a as a competitive athlete, I've always looked for a competitive edge um in in sports.

00:35:51.563 --> 00:35:59.541
Even even when I was competing in tennis at about 10 years old, my parents were giving me protein shakes, right, like trying to help me build my muscle, of course, like fish oil and things like that as well.

00:35:59.561 --> 00:36:01.833
That was back when you had to plug your nose to drink the protein.

00:36:02.695 --> 00:36:03.157
Exactly.

00:36:03.157 --> 00:36:14.315
Yeah, I mean my, my dad used to make it in action like with ice cream and like actually like good, good stuff to make it.

00:36:14.335 --> 00:36:16.021
We used to get it in a cardboard box in the bag and you'd have to plug your nose.

00:36:16.021 --> 00:36:17.487
It's felt like brown eggs, yeah no, I mean, it wasn't as good as it is now.

00:36:17.487 --> 00:36:19.110
I do collagen protein now and I just mix it in warm water.

00:36:19.110 --> 00:36:25.476
It goes down so easy, um, and so, yeah, there there, there's so many things that, um, we can just enhance in our diet.

00:36:25.476 --> 00:36:35.371
You can eat a healthy diet all day long, but if you want to optimize and be the best of the best, there's always more that you can can add into it, and so I I do love supplements.

00:36:35.371 --> 00:36:37.336
I love supplements cause we can get a little bit more.

00:36:37.577 --> 00:36:53.012
Yeah, some, but that's a, that's a bonus to the basics of having a, having a a decent workout routine, having a decent diet, you know, and like my thing is it's like if you're going to eat, eat.

00:36:53.012 --> 00:36:53.697
You know, just get some good stuff in there too.

00:36:53.697 --> 00:36:55.869
You know, it's like that's my point to dieting and stuff like that.

00:36:55.802 --> 00:36:58.677
We're all at different levels, so we just have to understand the basics and try to see how we can incorporate that.

00:36:58.677 --> 00:37:03.239
But there's certain things that, um, that uh, we don't just get to cross off right.

00:37:03.239 --> 00:37:04.981
We there's a certain amount of fiber that we need.

00:37:04.981 --> 00:37:07.364
If you can't get any in your diet, you have to add it in.

00:37:07.364 --> 00:37:09.025
There's a certain amount of protein that we need.

00:37:09.025 --> 00:37:11.266
If you can't get it in your diet, we just have to get it in.

00:37:11.266 --> 00:37:19.739
So a lot of us adults just need to, you know, do a diet diary and and and really calculate how much are we getting and then and then be honest with ourselves and supplement if you're not getting it.

00:37:19.949 --> 00:37:21.452
Yeah, and there's a vast difference.

00:37:21.452 --> 00:37:30.463
Folks in, like what Dr Shell is talking about, as far as and our sports supplements right, if you take a creatine supplement and just sit here, it's not really going to do that much for you.

00:37:30.463 --> 00:37:32.971
You have to be actively doing all these other things.

00:37:32.971 --> 00:37:36.061
And so I deal with a lot of people that are like, what's the magic supplement?

00:37:36.061 --> 00:37:39.559
And there is no magic supplement right, but there is supplementation.

00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:42.474
That's why it's a supplement right To all these other things.

00:37:42.474 --> 00:37:52.096
Or Dr Giselle's talking more of like a supplement that's like health, you know, it's like psyllium husk, vitamin D, you know, these are things that, like, you need anyway.

00:37:52.217 --> 00:37:53.900
Absolutely, and very inexpensive as well too.

00:37:53.900 --> 00:37:56.440
Psyllium husk, vitamin D, even vitamin B12.

00:37:56.440 --> 00:38:00.918
I love for saving our nerves and preventing neurological conditions like Alzheimer's and dementia.

00:38:00.918 --> 00:38:04.235
Uh, you know, and and again, like something that's very difficult to get in our diet.

00:38:04.235 --> 00:38:13.815
Um, and so, like I said, like, if you, you know meal plan, there's absolutely a way that you can make a beautiful diet, and if you're doing that, then awesome, maybe you don't need supplements.

00:38:13.815 --> 00:38:19.115
Um, but um, in reality, it's just, it's just, that's just not the case, and so we just need to acknowledge that.

00:38:19.329 --> 00:38:21.393
And um, you know, I always say the basics.

00:38:21.393 --> 00:38:26.981
The basics need to be in line first, which is, you know, usually comes from fiber.

00:38:26.981 --> 00:38:46.856
And then you have certain vitamins and, you know, if we're above an age you're usually above age 40, there's certain hormones that start to decline and, you know, sometimes they come to the point where, no matter how much zinc or magnesium or natural vitamins that you take to stimulate your natural production of certain hormones, we do get to a certain age where it's like knocking on a door that nobody's going to answer.

00:38:46.856 --> 00:38:56.570
You can take all the natural stuff to stimulate production, but eventually the ovaries, they just shut down and and your testicles, they, they, they just shut down, like you're, you're just not producing those hormones.

00:38:56.570 --> 00:39:00.510
You know that we've had our whole life and we're we're living longer than we ever had before.

00:39:00.510 --> 00:39:10.384
So it makes sense, um, you know that our, our organs are, you know, kind of tapping out before you know we're ready to go, and so, um, yes, like you can get through naturally and live a healthy life.

00:39:10.403 --> 00:39:20.375
But when we're talking about quality of life, um, supportive of certain hormones that are just vital to the human body, are, are, you know, just just just needed and and and not everybody needs that.

00:39:20.375 --> 00:39:22.581
There are some patients that's why labs are so important.

00:39:22.581 --> 00:39:31.726
There are some, some women who are deep into menopause and their hormones are awesome and and, and they just need, you know, some vitamin D, vitamin B12, support, just just the basic vitamins.

00:39:31.726 --> 00:39:38.693
So, you know, not hormone, hormone therapy isn't required for everyone, but it's all based on labs and interpreting the reference ranges appropriately.

00:39:38.693 --> 00:39:41.244
So reference ranges aren't just okay, you're good.

00:39:41.244 --> 00:39:47.076
Um, sometimes it needs to be in a certain range of that reference range to, to, to, to have optimal health.

00:39:47.215 --> 00:39:51.961
That's that I'm glad you went there, because it's like the reference races in general and help me weigh in on this.

00:39:51.961 --> 00:40:07.184
It's like they're going to say, like this is normal, you know, let's say one 75 is normal, but they're going to call that normal from anywhere from a 14 year old man kid to a 90 year old man and then the other variants.

00:40:07.184 --> 00:40:10.860
That people don't take into account is we're all different beings, you know.

00:40:10.860 --> 00:40:29.543
So my base level for something is completely different than you know some other man's base level, you know, even at my age size, whatever you know, we're different and our base levels are different, but the system weigh in on this more than me weighing in on it, because the system is built in this like to fit in this perfect box, but we're all different individuals.

00:40:30.030 --> 00:40:30.291
Absolutely.

00:40:30.291 --> 00:40:34.409
The reference ranges are really comparing the whole average population together.

00:40:34.409 --> 00:40:51.003
Yes, and you know it's very serious because once you pop out of those ranges for the ones that are very important, once you pop out of those ranges like it's a big deal, like it's not just you know, oops, like I'm out of the range, like, for example, like low vitamin D, vitamin d, like we're talking, like like that's the level that people get osteoporosis.

00:40:51.003 --> 00:40:52.708
So, yeah, that that's a big deal.

00:40:52.708 --> 00:40:53.429
It's not just.

00:40:53.429 --> 00:40:57.760
You know the autoimmune condition, the depression and the anxiety, and you know allergies and poor.

00:40:57.760 --> 00:40:59.713
You know just, just just feeling like crap.

00:40:59.713 --> 00:41:02.951
It's actually like holes in the bones are growing with that number.

00:41:03.331 --> 00:41:15.400
So it doesn't take a genius to assume that maybe we should be way on the higher end range to even get we don't want to be anywhere close to the osteoporosis range, right, and we're learning to that, like you know.

00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:20.498
The next kind of you know you know 10, 20 points up for vitamin D we're still in, like the cancer and autoimmune range, you know.

00:41:20.498 --> 00:41:22.010
So it's like we need to get up.

00:41:22.010 --> 00:41:34.112
But there's certain reference ranges that just I mean some reference ranges take five, 10 years to even change.

00:41:34.112 --> 00:41:40.534
It's, it's things that we know, but it you got to get the right stamp of approval and there's a lot of conflict of interest in certain reference ranges, um that, um, you know it's it's hard to to get the right information out there.

00:41:40.856 --> 00:41:42.880
I really want you to get out of that.

00:41:42.880 --> 00:41:48.481
Part of this is get in, get some blood work done, complete hormone workup.

00:41:48.481 --> 00:41:50.911
Pass the basic ones that they want to give you.

00:41:50.911 --> 00:41:52.054
Fight for those things.

00:41:52.054 --> 00:41:57.777
Know that the basic reference ranges, especially if you don't have a doctor that really specializes, like Dr Shell.

00:41:57.777 --> 00:42:01.177
Does Dr Shell's thinking out of the box a little bit, like we've just discussed.

00:42:01.177 --> 00:42:18.518
Hopefully we didn't go too deep in the weeds because Dr Shell and I are kind of science nerds, you know, and so what you need to get is like there's people that know how to analyze it really well, like Dr Shell, and there's people that are doctors that haven't been involved in it as much and they're going to use those charts Right, and so really fight for that.

00:42:18.518 --> 00:42:24.695
Know about vitamin D deficiencies, because almost everybody is, especially if you have melanin in your skin.

00:42:24.996 --> 00:42:44.253
So black people, hispanic, people you know skin, so black people, Hispanic people, you know it's like you're especially susceptible to vitamin D problems, Right, and so you're going to need to supplement more and pay attention to that more, even more, and I see, like all the white population in Arizona is, is, is is very, very low, don't care how much you tan.

00:42:44.333 --> 00:42:52.360
Exactly, and so the more melanin that you have, the even lower that that patients are, and so I really think, like it's, it's, it's a state of emergency.

00:42:52.702 --> 00:42:54.331
It's a game changer and break it down really quick.

00:42:54.331 --> 00:42:56.657
Vitamin D deficiency it's does so much.

00:42:56.657 --> 00:43:00.396
Give them a couple that like they'll feel different if they'll, Absolutely I mean.

00:43:00.436 --> 00:43:26.675
Vitamin D is something that it is important for almost every process in your body, and without it, almost all of your hormones can't be produced to appropriate levels, and so, uh, low testosterone production, uh, a lot, a lot of times just low serotonin and dopamine which I always like to talk about, because you need vitamin d for even the synthesis of those hormones that um anxiety without them, we get anxiety and depression.

00:43:26.916 --> 00:43:32.865
Yeah, Um and uh, you know, vitamin, vitamin D is is very important for inflammation and autoimmunity.

00:43:32.865 --> 00:43:36.039
The first thing that we do for cancer patients is we get to the high end range.

00:43:36.039 --> 00:43:37.777
We get cancer patients 80 to 100.

00:43:37.777 --> 00:43:43.913
Yep, Um, you know, at that, at that high end range, because we, we need the immune support that that vitamin D does for that.

00:43:44.634 --> 00:43:55.806
Um, there's, there's, um, you know, of course, bone production, bone protection as well too, Um, but, um, if I like Dr Shell, she'll go on for 40 minutes on vitamin D, and we got more stuff to get to you.

00:43:55.907 --> 00:43:57.088
Yeah, exactly, exactly.

00:43:57.391 --> 00:43:58.615
There's a whole list of vitamin D.

00:43:58.615 --> 00:44:01.583
Essentially, it's really a part of everything and it really does shut down.

00:44:01.583 --> 00:44:09.811
You know almost every process and we're just not in the sun Like we used.

00:44:09.811 --> 00:44:10.675
We're not in the sun like we used to be.

00:44:10.675 --> 00:44:12.202
Um, it's the technological age and and we're just not getting vitamin D.

00:44:12.202 --> 00:44:23.574
And, and, to top that off, the more body fat we have, it even goes down, and so you know, obesity is is a problem and um, that even makes the vitamin D go down even lower, and so it's just um inflammation, weight gain and and weight loss.

00:44:23.574 --> 00:44:29.682
Resistance is another thing with with vitamin D is you just, no matter how hard you work out or exercise, if you're low, you know weight loss is very difficult.

00:44:29.742 --> 00:44:38.532
There's a huge chance you're getting diagnosed right now with depression or anxiety and it's actually a vitamin D deficiency, and so I want you to get hormone workup.

00:44:38.532 --> 00:44:43.835
Especially if you're thinking about business, that sort of stuff, it's like you need this avatar, no matter what you're going to need in business.

00:44:43.835 --> 00:44:58.713
Let's, let's, let's scoot over to stress and some of the most stressed out people we've talked about this before that come into your clinics uh, first line defenders, right Police officers, uh, firemen and entrepreneurs.

00:44:59.114 --> 00:45:07.458
Yep, yep, I mean I, yeah, I have a lot of, I mean, I have a lot of busy, uh, business owners and, you know, moms as well too.

00:45:07.458 --> 00:45:13.755
Um, you know, stress is, stress is a big thing and um, it's, it's, um, it's largely unavoidable.

00:45:13.755 --> 00:45:30.150
We all live, live pretty demanding lives and, um, you know, stress is something that, uh, of course, like without the foundational hormones and vitamins in line, it's one of those things that I see it's very difficult to tolerate stress, um, if you don't have good vitamin D, good vitamin B12, if you're depressed.

00:45:30.150 --> 00:45:31.697
That that makes stress even.

00:45:31.697 --> 00:45:34.871
You know, it makes you go down down the rabbit hole a little bit more.

00:45:34.871 --> 00:45:37.318
Stress leads to depression, anxiety and fatigue.

00:45:37.318 --> 00:45:38.300
It really shuts your body down.

00:45:38.300 --> 00:45:40.715
So it's, it really is, it really is a whole cycle.

00:45:41.317 --> 00:45:43.851
Um, you're going to, you're going to have it in business too.

00:45:43.851 --> 00:45:46.333
It's like business and stress go together.

00:45:46.333 --> 00:45:47.474
I don't care what they tell you online.

00:45:47.474 --> 00:45:48.315
Like business and stress go together.

00:45:48.315 --> 00:45:49.318
I don't care what they tell you online.

00:45:49.318 --> 00:45:51.199
It is not all working a couple hours, vacationing all the time.

00:45:51.199 --> 00:45:56.045
No, it's dealing with sick anxiety, stress in your stomach, especially when you first start your business.

00:45:56.045 --> 00:46:03.534
And so that's why I wanted to go into this fitness stuff, because you need a good outlet for it.

00:46:03.554 --> 00:46:18.518
And what people don't realize about stress and this is the way I think about it is like we know about the fight or flight of an animal, right Like the rabbit that's getting chased by the Hawk, and what's actually happening biochemically in their body is everything is shutting down except the essentials to survival at that point.

00:46:18.518 --> 00:46:26.291
And what stress is is it's kind of a similar reaction that we're having to the world and what that's doing when we're in those stress states.

00:46:26.291 --> 00:46:32.375
It's shutting a lot, a lot of those in that moment, emergency reactors down.

00:46:32.375 --> 00:46:38.476
So like things like digestion, things like sleep fertility fertility periods, kind of shut off during stress.

00:46:39.016 --> 00:46:46.219
So, yeah, it definitely affects the body and you know, stress, stress is very um unique for all in in how they process it.

00:46:46.219 --> 00:46:49.413
Um, but um, yeah, certainly, foundational health and exercise and the basic lifestyles those it Um.

00:46:49.413 --> 00:46:51.304
But um, yeah, certainly, foundational health and exercise and the basic lifestyles those help.

00:46:51.304 --> 00:46:58.059
Um, I do think that stress is, um you know, very important to work on your internal dialogue as well too.

00:46:58.059 --> 00:47:07.159
Um, you know a lot of things and a lot of problems can be intensified if we're, you know, not talking positively to ourselves and just being aware of how we talk to ourselves.

00:47:07.159 --> 00:47:22.021
Um, so I I do believe um that, uh, you know controlling your mind and you know being able to separate, you know emotions and and you know objective things and, um, you know being able to compartmentalize things you know really helps to to process stress.

00:47:22.282 --> 00:47:22.965
You know it's crazy.

00:47:22.965 --> 00:47:28.306
There's those stories that we hear about the person like lifting a car off their kid you know, in the right scenario.

00:47:28.405 --> 00:47:44.393
It's like these super human things and we don't think the mind's powerful I went to this um, some some kind of, uh, um, asian practice and they were doing like, crazy, like you know, crazy, uh, physical feats, and one of them he died.

00:47:44.393 --> 00:47:47.485
It was like a car and it was a a rope that he tied on his.

00:47:47.485 --> 00:47:54.512
I don't know where he tied like, but on his private parts oh no pulling the the car like showing like mind over matter yeah.

00:47:54.913 --> 00:47:59.262
I mean it's impressive, but it's like drastic, but it does show what the mind can do.

00:47:59.530 --> 00:48:00.271
Exactly, exactly.

00:48:00.391 --> 00:48:10.762
And so like and we've talked about this a little bit, just you and I offline, you know it's like, uh, having power of that mind, the things you're saying to your mind, because your mind is so powerful.

00:48:10.882 --> 00:48:11.143
Exactly.

00:48:11.143 --> 00:48:17.157
I think it really transforms it, even when you're having a bad day or thinking negative thoughts sometimes.

00:48:17.157 --> 00:48:24.014
I just like to say I'm thankful for X, y and Z Just list a couple of things that I'm thankful for in that moment and something as simple like that.

00:48:24.014 --> 00:48:32.233
If you practice it, it really does have some sort of energetic effect and it just helps the slightest bit Sometimes when you're on those moments.

00:48:32.233 --> 00:48:36.463
The slightest bit of help from any type of technique that you're doing is worth it.

00:48:36.702 --> 00:48:39.719
Yeah, and that's another tie-in to the fitness stuff too.

00:48:39.719 --> 00:48:41.153
It's like getting those little wins.

00:48:41.153 --> 00:48:42.900
You know like that's a mental thing.

00:48:42.900 --> 00:48:52.385
You know, for me at this point and I know you're competing so I know it's a little bit different for you but my whole workout thing is for here.

00:48:52.385 --> 00:48:56.967
It's not for the arm, it's not for you know it's, it's it's for my mind.

00:48:56.967 --> 00:48:57.626
I need it.

00:48:57.726 --> 00:49:07.199
You know it's like I agree and and uh, one of the things is when you're, when you're at the gym and you're really pushing yourself and really testing yourself and sometimes failing at at weights that you thought you could have done.

00:49:07.199 --> 00:49:11.271
That kind of practice sets you up for success in life in general.

00:49:11.271 --> 00:49:14.641
You're going to meet challenges and you're going to know what your limits are.

00:49:14.641 --> 00:49:17.396
You've already tested your limits and you're ready for a challenge.

00:49:17.396 --> 00:49:25.190
And every challenge you approach with a little bit more growth and how you learned it, if you approach it in those positive ways.

00:49:25.190 --> 00:49:35.811
There's certain challenges that we can't get around and we know we've got to face and, um, you know, just just prepping ourselves and talking to ourselves that you know this, this is how we grow um, you know, is a really good approach for those things.

00:49:36.373 --> 00:49:39.021
You know there's certain things I'd love to thank my younger me for.

00:49:39.021 --> 00:49:41.193
There's certain things I'd like to kick his ass over too.

00:49:41.193 --> 00:49:43.976
But like a couple of things are like starting weightlifting.00:49:43.976 --> 00:49:52.856


You know it's like people are always like Tyler 26 workouts a week and you're like, but here's the thing.00:49:52.856 --> 00:49:56.416


I never looked back at last week and said, damn, I wish I would have watched more TV.00:49:56.416 --> 00:50:04.775


But am I looking back at like 30 years, whatever now and said glad I picked up that weight, I'm glad I hit that?00:50:05.170 --> 00:50:06.431


I mean, tell me some things.00:50:06.431 --> 00:50:12.043


I mean I say like going into the gym and and eventually transitioning to strength training was, was the best decision I ever made in my life.00:50:12.043 --> 00:50:19.572


It's, it's.00:50:19.572 --> 00:50:21.295


I'm a completely different person inside.00:50:21.295 --> 00:50:22.315


I have the same heart.00:50:22.315 --> 00:50:25.498


Um, I always say like I, I have the same heart.00:50:25.498 --> 00:50:39.402


Ever since I was a child, I, I, I and I've I've always had an internal dialogue, talk to't want to say, because there's challenges in life, there's a lot of things that I know are coming, and every day I'm just preparing for those challenges and to me, that's fun.00:50:39.402 --> 00:50:43.800


I have the brain that I love a challenge and I'm very patient.00:50:43.800 --> 00:50:51.661


And what else in life is there except for to push yourself and be the best person that you can be and and and inspire and help people around you?00:50:51.661 --> 00:50:52.882


That, to me, that that's really fun.00:50:53.349 --> 00:50:56.721


What are some other things you'd thank your younger self for doing, getting involved with?00:50:56.989 --> 00:51:03.896


Um, you know what, um, for my younger self, um, um, you know what I?00:51:03.896 --> 00:51:05.657


I guess I I've always had my own mind.00:51:05.657 --> 00:51:16.853


You know, I, I've, I've, I've understand, I've understood rules and I've understood, you know, um, you know what is meant, but I've always, you know, just um, just, been open to different perspectives.00:51:16.853 --> 00:51:25.657


I think, um, you know, sometimes when you're growing up, you can become attached to you know how your, you know your parents and your environment and what beliefs and things that they have.00:51:25.657 --> 00:51:30.483


And you know, so, for some of us, we're good with learning that and we don't want to learn anything else.00:51:30.483 --> 00:51:33.646


And you know, I think, a big change in my adult life.00:51:33.869 --> 00:51:44.266


I moved to the States to pursue mixed martial arts and, you know, get into pre-med and start those journeys and you know, I think it really opened my eyes to move to America.00:51:44.266 --> 00:52:01.742


I had, you know, a complete different perspective growing up in Canada and I almost had a distaste for Americans, and out of no experience of my own, just my upbringing and, of course, 6 pm CNN every night definitely persuades that.00:52:01.742 --> 00:52:03.958


But I'm very proud of myself for always being open.00:52:03.958 --> 00:52:17.635


I've always been open to learn and learn other people's feelings, and there's people who feel, you know, different than than what I can feel, but I'm I'm always willing to understand, and I think that's what makes me a really good doctor too.00:52:17.635 --> 00:52:23.996


You know, I I might not be the smartest doctor, um, but um, I put my whole heart into it, I'm very passionate about it.00:52:23.996 --> 00:52:27.228


I treat my patients like family, and, you know, I think about my patients.00:52:27.228 --> 00:52:31.273


I'm constantly thinking about how I can improve and help, and you know that's um.00:52:31.273 --> 00:52:33.376


You know, a part that I really love about myself.00:52:33.737 --> 00:52:43.737


I have a doctor that changed my life, you know, and when everybody was telling me that I was just getting old and that sort of stuff, and maybe you know, and it's like, and it was cause she cared, it came down to cause she cared.00:52:43.737 --> 00:52:48.317


You know, there is what I believe um a cheat code Like.00:52:48.317 --> 00:53:05.378


If you really want to like, look into a cheat code and you're looking for that in life and I know a lot of you aren't going to like what I'm about to say but not doing drugs, not smoking and not drinking alcohol, that's the cheat code.00:53:05.784 --> 00:53:07.690


Yep, I believe it.00:53:07.690 --> 00:53:08.090


I believe it.00:53:08.090 --> 00:53:21.735


Things that keep you in reality and and just make you feel the process, make you go through the process and feel it, um, absolutely and um, yeah, I mean life's, life's a challenge and it really is a blessing.00:53:21.735 --> 00:53:39.059


When you embrace the challenge, it really is a lot of fun and you know, it feels daunting, but when, when you you take the first step and get into it and and just make it your goal, like this is my life, it's it's a lot of fun, it's it's it's it's a lot of fun to believe in yourself and to challenge yourself and you don't put any pressure on yourself.00:53:39.059 --> 00:53:44.766


And you know, take people's opinions for what it is, but you know, just understand the opinion that you have of yourself is the most important.00:53:45.268 --> 00:53:58.528


You know a lot of people, a lot of our friends that you trained at ACS too, you know, it's like a lot of those guys.00:53:58.528 --> 00:53:59.172


We'd run um a mountain together.00:53:59.172 --> 00:54:00.798


I kill those guys on a, you know, and they'd be always like Tyler, how do you do it?00:54:00.798 --> 00:54:01.141


How do you do it?00:54:01.141 --> 00:54:01.320


You know?00:54:01.320 --> 00:54:04.190


It's like I remember when I was a kid we went and we were rolled a roller coaster.00:54:04.190 --> 00:54:09.329


I was like four years old and I was so afraid and my dad goes um, tell it to go faster.00:54:09.329 --> 00:54:13.755


I'm here, I am so afraid and he's like tell it to go faster, you know.00:54:13.755 --> 00:54:24.974


And it's like, and that's what I used to do when I would work out, you know, and like it felt like I would run that hill or hit the bag or whatever, and I'd say more, give me more pain, you know.00:54:24.974 --> 00:54:35.018


And it felt like when it was my idea it was more controllable, you know, and then like that was something that made it like possible to do more than I usually expected I could do.00:54:38.704 --> 00:54:39.025


Yeah, absolutely.00:54:39.025 --> 00:54:43.101


I think we all have different ways that we, uh, you know, talk to ourselves when we're doing, um, you know, different, um, different competitions.00:54:43.101 --> 00:54:50.873


So I mean, I, I definitely have a way to talk to myself as as well too, and and it certainly is, you know part of just like you could dig deeper, like you've got this.00:54:50.873 --> 00:54:52.456


You know, feeling, feeling, just feeling my whole body.00:54:52.456 --> 00:55:02.882


I love feeling my whole body and you know, as I'm running, like trying to somehow like change the energy, like you know, I try to be in touch with my energy and and you know, just um, I'm, I'm very imaginative.00:55:02.882 --> 00:55:16.425


I've, I've definitely kept my imagination since I was a kid, and I feel that that's very powerful when you, when you do difficult things that, um, you know, not, not not many people do, it is something that you have to have an imagination to to really see yourself.00:55:16.445 --> 00:55:21.396


you know, going past and being you totally do and like what's amazing is like the right song.00:55:21.525 --> 00:55:21.644


Cause.00:55:21.664 --> 00:55:28.826


We've all seen movies and we're feeling so motivated by the movie Cause the music's hitting right, the scene's hitting right, and like if you do that, you could almost do that in the gym.00:55:28.826 --> 00:55:42.349


And you know, and for me, like another thing that's been inspiring throughout my life is like everybody telling me I can't do something, or I'll be there on the pull up bar and like Tyler doesn't want to do another pull up, and then I'll think to myself I'm like Tyler, they wouldn't want you to do another pull up.00:55:42.349 --> 00:55:46.920


All these people that treated you unfair, your competitors or whatever, they wouldn't want you to do another pull up either.00:55:47.302 --> 00:55:54.054


That's what helps me get that last pull.00:55:54.054 --> 00:55:55.818


It is really strange, actually a so like when I had my first fight.00:55:55.818 --> 00:56:03.532


You know I only told, like two friends, I didn't really tell people because it was like I've never fought before, like I don't want to, you know, but I didn't realize it was going to be on TV and big, a big thing.00:56:03.532 --> 00:56:04.710


I didn't really look into it.00:56:04.710 --> 00:56:08.710


Right, I was, you know.00:56:08.710 --> 00:56:11.914


I accepted the fight 12 days later and didn't.00:56:11.954 --> 00:56:13.096


I watched UFC with my buddies.00:56:13.096 --> 00:56:16.840


That was the time where Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz all those guys were really big in.00:56:16.900 --> 00:56:17.021


UFC.00:56:18.186 --> 00:56:21.987


All my friends we'd watch the UFC fights and all my friends were like, oh, we can fight.00:56:21.987 --> 00:56:22.891


You know how guys were?00:56:22.891 --> 00:56:25.532


I was just the quiet one, thinking to myself I could probably fight too.00:56:25.532 --> 00:56:26.456


They were good.00:56:27.286 --> 00:56:28.311


So it just fell in my lap.00:56:28.311 --> 00:56:38.199


But I do remember that right after that I did that, I was hit with, back to back, just just negativity.00:56:38.199 --> 00:56:49.233


I had never experienced negativity like that before and it just it just clicked on me that you know I must be doing something right.00:56:49.233 --> 00:56:52.786


You know, like I, you know I I operate with a good heart and there's no reason why I should be getting this hate Like I'm.00:56:52.786 --> 00:56:54.932


You know, I always thought like I'm a good person.00:56:54.932 --> 00:56:57.420


Like you know, I wanted to inspire women to.00:56:57.420 --> 00:57:01.331


You know, it doesn't matter, just get get yourself to a gym, like go train, like get in there.00:57:01.331 --> 00:57:02.353


This is booming for women.00:57:02.353 --> 00:57:11.054


We can all do it, you know, and I wanted to be that female to, to get everyone to get into it.00:57:11.074 --> 00:57:14.998


And you know, I did get some females you know, so it just it kind of just kind of turned on me.00:57:14.998 --> 00:57:17.862


And you know, fighting is um, you know it's, it's an aggressive sport.00:57:17.862 --> 00:57:24.585


So if you, if you um, translate it in your mind as something, as a hateful, you know aggression thing, then then then maybe that can come like that.00:57:24.585 --> 00:57:26.831


But, um, yeah, it's, it's, um.00:57:26.831 --> 00:57:48.989


I never experienced so much negativity, um, you know, as, as um, you know, I, I, you know, even even to this day, sometimes, I'll, you know, tell it at the right time, or tell it to, you know, the, the, the, the right moment.00:57:48.989 --> 00:57:59.722


You know, I feel the energy of the person that I'm talking to and see if that would be something that they would be interested in before I just drop it.00:58:00.485 --> 00:58:03.534


You know I have times in life where I'm like where's my tribe?00:58:03.534 --> 00:58:12.628


Where are these kind-hearted badass people that deep down in they are caring, they're kind, but they're still the people.00:58:12.628 --> 00:58:14.173


You wouldn't want to run into a dark alley.00:58:14.173 --> 00:58:17.293


You don't want to run into Dr Shell in a dark alley like, but there's still the people you wouldn't want to run into a dark alley.00:58:17.333 --> 00:58:18.639


You don't want to run into Dr Shell in a dark alley.00:58:18.639 --> 00:58:30.588


You know it's like, and and what's amazing about this show is like it does build my tribe, because I have people like you that are kind people, you know, and you know squally, you know, or or the judge that was just on.00:58:30.588 --> 00:58:36.394


Everybody in a certain way is their own version of a kind hearted badasses, and that that's what I love about this show.00:58:36.394 --> 00:58:55.730


Um, I hope today that you got something out of this, because having any lofty goal in life is going to need a big avatar and, uh, you know, and I don't necessarily mean in size, you know it's going to be somebody that's capable of the task, capable of the race, and you're going to need it for your business, I promise you right now.00:58:55.809 --> 00:59:01.347


So get a healthy outlet if you're thinking about business, but in life, you know it'll make it better in every single way.00:59:01.347 --> 00:59:03.733


So take homes today.00:59:03.733 --> 00:59:08.369


What I really want you to get from Dr Shell is get a workout program in some way, shape or form.00:59:08.369 --> 00:59:13.065


Get in there right, I also get out there and get a hormone workup.00:59:13.065 --> 00:59:15.130


I don't care what age you are, you know.00:59:15.130 --> 00:59:18.956


Get that complete check done, just like the car sitting in the garage, you know.00:59:18.956 --> 00:59:24.916


Find out everything that's going on, because the more optimally you're running, the more all this stuff works, you know?00:59:25.045 --> 00:59:34.431


And then on top of that, vitamin D um psyllium husk, positive mindset positive mindset is important for anyone who's starting out or anyone who wants to continue.00:59:34.431 --> 00:59:36.215


This is a this is a lifelong goal.00:59:36.215 --> 00:59:37.478


Fitness is a lifelong goal.00:59:37.478 --> 00:59:48.295


Um, and just just preserving your health and health and longevity it is, is is a lifelong goal, and the sooner we realize that and get into it like, the more you will look back one day and thank yourself.00:59:48.905 --> 00:59:59.960


There's, uh, something I want to leave you with today, and it is if your heart's in the right place and you fear it, then you have to do it.00:59:59.960 --> 01:00:06.027


And I know a lot of you fear the gym, right, but imagine building your avatar into somebody that's more capable.01:00:06.027 --> 01:00:10.846


So if your heart is in the right place in something and you fear it, it is the ultimate in growth.01:00:10.846 --> 01:00:12.407
