00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:06.879
Okay, so welcome to our podcast.
00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:13.439
This is a little bit different today because this podcast is a spin-off of our radio show.
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:24.399
This is hydrogen water.
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:25.440
What do you think of hydrogen water?
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:27.359
But wait, what's your take on hydrogen water?
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:28.879
Um, I like it.
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:29.519
I like it.
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:33.200
I don't think it's like the next greatest thing, but um Is it a scam?
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:34.719
I'm okay with it.
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:38.960
I mean, there's just not a lot of evidence that it really works.
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:46.479
But again, like ideally you would say, well, you know, I feel like this, and now I did this, and now I feel like this.
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:47.840
But you're drinking that.
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:49.679
You know, what what do you know about Pellegrino?
00:00:50.000 --> 00:01:05.680
So Pellegrino um is obviously it's an Italian sparkling water, and it comes from Italy, and this particular water is the highest source of sulfur of any other water that I at least that I know of.
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.799
So sulfur is a is a detoxifier.
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:13.120
Uh sulfur is just if you remember back to high school, the periodic table, right?
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:15.760
You got oxygen and hydrogen and you know, etc.
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:17.920
You have all that, you know, all those things.
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:26.319
And sulfur helps to detoxify and make certain things like glutathione.
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:32.079
If you've ever had a glutathione IV, our body makes its own glutathione and it does so with sulfur.
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:35.280
Sulfur makes amino acids, proteins, helps us build muscle.
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:40.719
And then the other thing is that sulfur is heavily found on the inside of a blood vessel.
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:45.280
So it makes the blood vessels super slick, like Teflon.
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:50.799
So given the fact that we want to get sulfur into our diet, where else do we get sulfur from?
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:52.239
Um, eggs, right?
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:53.359
The smell of eggs.
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:55.439
That's the sulfur smell.
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:59.599
The onions, garlic, they're very high in sulfur.
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:03.200
One of my favorite supplements is a unique form of seaweed.
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:15.520
And when I heard that it was so good for blood vessel health, because it's billed for that, and a lot of cardiologists use it, then that particular product, I knew as soon as I heard about it, it was going to be high in sulfur, and that's exactly what it is.
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:16.719
And that's what you want.
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:17.439
And you want that.
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:20.719
Or, you know, if you want something, you know, someone takes an Epsom salt bath, right?
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:28.240
That's magnesium sulfate after you're in the gym, or if you know, aches and pains, magnesium salt baths, and that's what it is.
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:29.599
It's magnesium sulfate.
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:31.120
How many of those will you drink in a day?
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:39.520
No, I mean, I don't drink them necessarily for medicinal value, but I mean, if I drink, I mean, let's just say if I have one a day, you know, on average.
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:43.439
And there's other, you know, Icelandic is another really good sparkling mineral water.
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:46.719
It comes from Iceland, so you would assume it's pretty clean.
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:53.599
Uh Perrier, you know, Perrier, I remember back in the day, Perrier had some like contamination issues.
00:02:53.759 --> 00:03:00.960
I want to say this goes back to like 20, 30 years ago, so I've never really matriculated towards that, but uh there's there's a lot of good stuff.
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:06.159
So when it comes to this hydrogen water, so here we give you the story on these cans on this on this hydrogen water.
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:08.879
So I'm into the biohacking space, if that's what they call it.
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:10.560
I want to try to live as healthy as I can.
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:12.719
Yeah, and I was following Gary Brecka.
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:12.879
Right.
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:13.120
Right.
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:13.759
I've heard him.
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:17.120
Okay, and he's this guy, and he has this hydrogen water thing.
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:20.879
You buy this thing for$400, you hit a button, it makes the bubbles.
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:22.400
It takes about 10 minutes.
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:26.639
So I would do it in the morning, hit the button, go do a quick light stretch, come back, drink it.
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:29.520
And then, of course, within three weeks, the thing broke, right?
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:30.879
I can't get anybody to fix it.
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:31.280
Wow.
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:35.199
And then now I see him, he doesn't talk about those anymore.
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.159
Yeah, but him and his son started these hydrogen tablets.
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:42.719
So it's the same thing, you take these tablets, put them in the water, you gotta wait 10-15 minutes for them to dissolve.
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:47.039
And I'm like, it and he says there's all this science on hydrogen water, how good it is for you.
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:48.879
And I just found it to be a pain in the ass.
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:51.199
Then this woman reaches out to me.
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:52.960
You can't buy this.
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:54.159
This is from Australia.
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:58.000
You cannot buy this in the United States, and it's canned hydrogen water.
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:00.719
And she gives me the spiel about how good it is for you.
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.840
And I'm like, I just pop it open and drink, I don't have to wait 10 minutes.
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:07.599
So she sent me a couple cases, so we drink it all the time.
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:08.240
I like it.
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:12.800
I've talked to a couple doctors that like it, and I was just curious to what you think about it.
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:13.599
All right.
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:19.680
Well, if I'm gonna uh be critical, which which is what I'm here to do, please do.
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:22.240
Not only here for that, but to be critical.
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:26.079
That's why God has me here on earth is to be critical of stuff like that.
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:30.639
But one thing I don't like about cans is that cans are lined with plastic.
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:33.279
I didn't know that.
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:38.879
So cans, this isn't the old tin can or aluminum can days.
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:40.720
They're all lined with plastic.
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:52.800
And the plastic is there to maybe prevent metals from leaching into the water, from the you know, can, you know, to rust, and they're all lined with a coating of plastic.
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:56.399
And then the plastic, of course, interferes with hormones, etc.
00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.399
And high levels of plastic are linked with cardiovascular disease.
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:04.160
So I tend to avoid cans whenever possible.
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:12.639
Um I'm not here to insult Gary Brecca uh because I guess we can all say, hey, you know, well, we all got bills to pay, right?
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:14.160
We all have bills to pay to be.
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:14.720
I got nothing to pay.
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:15.439
I'm a fan of the guy.
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:26.480
And Gary has his bills to pay, but I think one concern is that, yeah, we just the industry is full of people who jump from one to another who's who's paying them.
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:38.240
And I'm not saying that I'm holier than now, but I really try and be, and that if I'm going to get behind a company, number one, I want to know the product is gonna work, of course, and it doesn't break down after a few, you know, after a few weeks.
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:42.319
And then it's comp you know, a company I'm gonna be with for a long time.
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:57.600
You know, you're you're one of the uh older timers in the industry, of course, and you know how advertisers work, and you know, you support an advertiser when they pay you to do so, but uh I think we need to be careful really about the products that we're endorsing.
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:02.639
Well, I heard Huberman, he won't use a product, he'll use a product for two years before he endorses it.
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:06.639
That's I mean, that's obviously a pretty good policy to do so.
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:16.720
And I think really it's also just amount, you know, that the the thing that I always try and push is that there's a foundation, and we always got to hit that foundation and all these different biohacks that you talk about.
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:20.079
The biohacks are kind of at the end of the game.
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:23.199
We really need to say, well, how are we sleeping?
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:26.879
How are we getting outdoors and sunshine exposure?
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:30.240
Of course, the foods that we're eating and how quality they are.
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:31.839
We want to make sure that we're moving.
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:35.040
We want to make sure that we're our mindset is good, we find our happy.
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:36.959
So that's always like those basics.
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:45.040
You can't, you can't biohack your way out of not sleeping or not getting sunshine or a lousy diet, as you know.
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:46.240
Well, you know, it's funny.
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:50.240
I was shown my my sister, my sister, um, I was trying to get her to take creatine.
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:51.519
Do you believe in creatine?
00:06:51.920 --> 00:07:04.879
Uh, that's another one that I know, you know, it's uh the orphan just to say yes and no, but it's like everything everything, it's like since I saw you last week, it's like you like rock my world with all this information.
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:06.399
That's why I should be on the podcast.
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:11.759
But it's like everything that I've learned or got from social media, you debunk right away, which is great.
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:12.240
But go ahead.
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:13.040
What are you gonna say about creating?
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:21.759
Well, I you know, it's just what it's funny when you insult creatine, like we can talk about water, nobody's like, oh, hydrogen water, yeah, I guess, you know, whatever.
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:32.000
What you know, people seem to hold creatine so close to themselves, you know, they they really identify with creatine.
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:44.879
So if you insult it, or you go against it, or you kind of point out, you know, it is a synthetic lab-made organic acid, amino acid-like compound.
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:46.639
Do we really need that?
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:48.720
Do we really need this synthetic?
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:50.319
You get it from the beef supplements.
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:53.040
What if we get it from the bison supplements?
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:54.959
From the bison supplements.
00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:58.079
What if we get it from the yeah, from the food that we eat?
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:05.439
Now, somebody will say, yeah, but you're not gonna be able to get 10 grams of creatine from a bison organ supplement.
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:06.879
And I would say, I don't care.
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:10.240
I'm not trying to get 10 grams of creatine.
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:17.439
I'm trying to eat like our ancestors did, and I feel that that's gonna be the best answer for us.
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:23.120
I'm really trying to get away from the lab-made stuff as much as possible.
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:23.920
That's fair.
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:25.360
So let me do a quick setup.
00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:29.279
So last week I was doing uh TPE, right?
00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:30.000
Is that what it's called?
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:35.279
TPE, which is tissue, yeah, so tissue plasma exchange.
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:42.799
Exchange, where I was taking the blood out of my body, taking the red blood cells out, right, and putting albumin, whatever back in the blood.
00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:45.360
Yeah, it's it's like it's like a dialysis, you know, cleansing.
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:46.240
It cleans my blood, right?
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:47.200
It cleans the blood, right?
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:47.519
Definitely.
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:48.559
You believe in that.
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:49.919
I I do, I do.
00:08:50.159 --> 00:09:05.519
Okay, so I was it was the second time doing it, and before I met you, my sister has sent me Instagram videos of yours because she knows I have some like heart issues, and she goes, Listen to this guy.
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:15.919
And then, you know, and it was like you're outside and you're I think you were living in a trailer or something, and he and she knows your whole story, and then I'm doing the TPE and you come walking in, and I'm in your building.
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:16.559
Yeah, right.
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:21.919
So you sat down, we talked for a while, and I was like, I was I would say it was almost starstruck because I knew you from social media.
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:23.279
Well, that's how I felt about you.
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:23.919
Oh, right.
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:26.720
You never you've you've you've heard of the show, you've heard of us.
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:27.519
Of course I have.
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:28.879
Who hasn't heard of you?
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:34.240
Well, so anyway, so we I live in a trailer, uh, not under a rock, you know, as as they would say.
00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:37.360
And it's actually not a trailer, it's a tent, but we'll talk about it.
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:38.080
You live in a tent?
00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:38.720
We can talk about it.
00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:40.320
But then you pull up in a big van.
00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:40.799
Yeah.
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:42.080
Do you live in the van too?
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:42.960
It seems like it.
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:45.679
If you looked inside, you're not allowed to film inside the van.
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:47.519
That's that's totally off limits.
00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:48.720
My wife will kill me if she's a few.
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:51.360
Well, I saw you get out of the van and change clothes.
00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:52.159
Totally.
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:52.799
Yeah.
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:55.840
So I mean, how come you live in a tent?
00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:57.279
How come you live out of a van?
00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:00.000
And you're a very, very successful cardiac surgeon.
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:01.039
What's the title?
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:02.799
So, I mean, by training, I'm a cardiologist.
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:03.360
Cardiologist.
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:09.519
So I went through four years of internal medicine, or excuse me, four years of medical school, three years of internal medicine, three years of cardiology.
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:09.840
Okay.
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:16.320
I was with the biggest group in the state of uh Arizona as a hospital-based cardiologist for up until 2012.
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:28.559
And from there, we uh I I would leave and I'd start my own company, Natural Heart Doctor, and you were over at our offices and you had the procedure done, the tissue plasma exchange, and that's like a dialysis.
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:32.080
Dialysis has been around for, you know, for 60, 70 years.
00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:36.080
And the idea there is that it's another biohack, right?
00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:40.639
We have all these different biohacks, but it comes at the end of how we eat, live, and think.
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:47.759
And then maybe we can do advanced testing in the world to say, okay, well, these are your markers now, and then let's check them in the future.
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:54.799
And that could be now we're gonna look at evidence-based supplements and then are there biohacking, that could be sauna, red light, and that could be tissue plasmic change.
00:10:54.960 --> 00:11:06.639
The idea of the blood dialysis is cool because it helps to remove unnecessary proteins that we don't want, including one that was very popular a few years ago, a certain protein that was circulating around, uh injected.
00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:10.879
And then there was also uh the idea of there's plastics.
00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:14.639
And so we talked about plastic in cans, and plastic is ubiquitous in our society.
00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:16.399
So, how do we scrub that plastic out?
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:23.039
That's a big one because as you and I spoke, I talked about people with plastic in their arteries as measured.
00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:32.000
They're at triple the risk of heart attack, stroke, and dying, which makes plastic a bigger risk factor than smoking, drinking, diabetes, high blood pressure, like combined times two or three.
00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:34.000
It's it's it's a massive risk factor.
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:44.399
So, one of the tenets of live well is not living in a home that has water damage, water damage, mold, andor bacteria.
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:49.440
So we were living in a home in 2018 that we found out had mold.
00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:50.960
We moved from that home.
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:58.000
We actually moved from Arizona to Colorado, and then ultimately the house we were living there we found out had bacteria.
00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:01.440
So we left that home and we said, you know what?
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:08.159
Until we build our home out of concrete, steel, and glass, we're gonna be living in tents.
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:16.720
So I do consider myself the world's best preventive cardiologist.
00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:19.759
Not the guy you would go to see if you're in the midst of a heart attack.
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:23.360
For that, you go to any local hospital and they'll take care of you.
00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:29.919
But if you want to prevent, treat, and reverse cardiovascular disease, I consider myself the world's greatest.
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:33.360
And a lot of it is because nobody else really goes after root cause.
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:35.919
I'm kind of alone in this world.
00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:42.080
And the world's greatest is living in a tent up in North uh Cave Creek location.
00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:43.039
Do you have a tent?
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:44.000
Undisclosed.
00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:45.440
Like, because you also have kids.
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:49.279
So is your tent one big tent and you're all in sleeping bags, or are you in a tent?
00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:50.159
They have a tent?
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:57.279
Yeah, so uh it's my wife and I, and then we've got 18, 13-year-old boys, and then seven and four-year-old girls.
00:12:57.519 --> 00:12:59.600
So the boys have their own tent.
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:02.960
My wife and I, and the little girls, we stay in our tent.
00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:09.039
We stay in our own tent, and then we have a traveling companion who kind of helps us manage everything.
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:11.360
Uh, and she's in her own tent.
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:14.720
And what uh how do you handle showers, brushing teeth, and all that?
00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:17.120
Let's uh yeah, so we have an outdoor shower.
00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:25.759
Uh we have an outdoor shower, so we hook up to a water system to a water tank, and then we have a propane heater shower, so we do that.
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:26.559
Generator.
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:32.720
So we have a generator, uh, and and you're talking to a Jewish kid from the north suburbs of Chicago.
00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:34.000
Like I'm not MacGyver.
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:37.919
The fact that I have made this happen is a miracle.
00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:41.039
Uh, you know, but it's and your wife the whole time is all the way in.
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:42.960
It's it was never it was all her, man.
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:47.279
It was, I mean, basically, when we found out we had mold in 2018, she's like, you know what?
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:48.720
I'm leaving the house.
00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:51.279
Uh uh, we've I found out we have mold.
00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:54.879
That's been causing me health issues, causing the kids some health issues.
00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:55.679
I'm leaving.
00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:59.200
I'm gonna go down to my sister's till we figure this out, and you're welcome to join us.
00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:01.039
And I said, Well, of course I want to join you.
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:02.159
I love you, you know.
00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:03.759
Uh I'm coming with.
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:09.519
And uh that was kind of the start of our journey, but it's um it's it's simple.
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:15.279
It really is easy to do because the sleeping is simple, right?
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:17.519
We're inside in a tent, and you can sleep outside.
00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:20.879
You can sleep outside and uh in the grass.
00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:32.000
So we're on we're on some organic latex rubber mats, so like a topper, it's like a mattress topper, and those go directly on the ground.
00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:36.559
Uh, and my two sons, they have cots and they will sleep on those.
00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:38.480
And it depends what the elements are like outside.
00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:41.440
And if you know it's gonna rain, you pay a lot of attention to what the weather is.
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:46.320
You know, even here in Arizona, you know, we had a lot of rain yesterday, you know, really or the day before.
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:48.399
Uh so that was a factor.
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:56.960
And everything runs off of a veganerator, or if you can plug into someone's electrical somewhere, you can do that.
00:14:57.440 --> 00:15:04.960
And the refrigerator, freezer, coolers, good old-fashioned camping stove.
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:07.919
It's odd, but it's doable.
00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:17.840
And especially if you're if you're sick, if you're not feeling well, and it's because of the home you live in, then the decision becomes pretty simple.
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:24.320
But if you're gonna have a day, a lazy day, are you in a hammock or are you like, what is a lazy day for you?
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:26.399
Like me, it's on the couch watching TV.
00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:28.799
Yeah, I've I haven't done that in a long time.
00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:29.360
Wow.
