A highlight from BNB Starter Pack (Biggest Coin In Crypto?)
"What happens when you combine binary and finance? Well, you get Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world. And say you want to invest in this behemoth native token, BNB, where you're a little confused by all the name changes and rebrands. Don't worry. I'm going to break it down all for you. This is your BNB starter pack. Let's get it. Binance was founded back in July 2017 by Shengping Zhao, who goes by CZ and co -founder Heiyi. Now, CZ acts as CEO and the face of the company, while Heiyi works as the chief marketing officer. And right around the same time, the team ICOed their native token Binance Coin, also known as BNB. For those who don't know, ICO means Initial Coin Offering and acts very similarly to an IPO in traditional finance. 2022 might have been a boring bear market, but it was an exciting time for the Binance rebranding team because they changed their name behind BNB from Binance Coin to Build & Build in an attempt to disassociate from the centralized Binance exchange from the supposedly decentralized BNB landscape. BNB has a total supply of $200 million, and during the ICO, the Binance team received 40 % of $80 million BNB, with 20 % of that vested per year so they couldn't dump on holders. Angel investors received 10%, which was $20 million BNB, and the public sale included 50%, 100 million BNB. They started the price at 15 cents and raised about $15 million, 35 % of which they put towards their platform and exchange upgrades, 50 % of which they use for brand marketing and innovation, and 15 % was reserved for emergencies. At the height of the bull run, the price skyrocketed to just over $686, with a market cap of over $100 billion. Now, the total supply of BNB started out as $202 million. However, 20 % of profits are used to buy back BNB and burn it every quarter, creating a deflationary effect. In 2017, the team committed to destroy half the total supply over time. That's 100 billion BNB that will be poof, gone. At the time of recording, we just had the 24th BNB burn, and so far over 48 million BNB had been burned, leaving 153 million circulating supply. Previously, burns were calculated based on BNB trading volume on the Binance exchange, but in December 2021, the team implemented BNB AutoBurn. BNB AutoBurn uses the BNB price as well as the blocks generated on the BNB chain each quarter to determine how many coins should be burned. It also allows users to burn lost tokens and be reimbursed by the BNB Pioneer program. The Bruno hard fork also came with the ability to burn a portion of gas fees on the BNB chain. Now, all of this sounds great and deflationary, right? Well, yes, in theory, it's a great way to maintain and pump the price, but there are a few downsides to token burns. Sometimes it can create a supply squeeze, greater transaction costs, and even make a token more centralized. But Binance seems to be aware of the centralization concerns, and to date has invested more than a billion dollars in the BNB ecosystem in hopes of alleviating those concerns. Now, let's talk a little bit about that BNB ecosystem, shall we? Binance is now referring to the entire world of BNB as the BNB chain. Think of it as a lovely umbrella for lots of cool projects. Probably not Umbrella Corp, though. The OG member of BNB chain is now called BNB Beacon Chain, previously known as Binance Chain. This chain was created in April 2019 and supported the Binance DEX, which is the decentralized exchange, which created a better user experience to other exchanges that tended to be a bit slow and clunky. It uses Golang programming language and a peer -to -peer consensus mechanism where validators maintain all the data and validate all the transactions. They also vote to produce blocks, collecting and distributing fees amongst themselves. It's BNB's version of Bitcoin or Ethereum's miners. The block size holds up to one megabyte and the blocks are created in a few seconds, holding up to several thousand transactions. BNB Beacon Chain uses a BEP -2 token standard, unlike its sister chain, BNB Smart Chain, previously known as Binance Smart Chain, which uses a BEP -20 token. We'll talk more about BNB Smart Chain in a bit. Funnily enough, BNB started out as an ERC -20 token, but when the team launched the BNB chain in 2019, they converted the token to BEP -2. Like we said, BNB loves a rebrand even more than Elon Musk. Throw your ex up. So if you've ever been confused about which token to use or how to send your BNB for trading, you're not alone. In a project that prides itself on user -friendly speed and low fees, the various token standards are the trickiest part for new users. There's BEP -2, BEP -20 and even a BEP -8 token protocol, which is designed to launch projects at a lower cost on the mini token trading page on the Binance DEX. BEP -2 is only used for BNB chain governance, staking and voting. Holders get one vote per 50 BNB average daily holdings. It can also be traded and used for transaction fees on the Binance DEX, which runs on the BNB Beacon Chain. Be careful if you're new to trading BNB. If you're using the BEP -2 token, you won't be able to transfer your BNB to Ethereum -based wallets like MetaMask. If you try, you will lose your tokens and I'll be really sad for you. I may even cry. But one thing I'm not crying about is Stake sponsoring this video. Special thanks to them. The BEP -2 token addresses typically have BNB at the beginning versus the BEP -20 token wall addresses that start with 0x like Ethereum. There are a lot of videos that go more in depth about how to convert your BNB back and forth between BEP -2 and BEP -20 token standards, but I won't go into depth here. Like I said, just be careful. So now, let's chat about the chain that uses BEP -20 token, BNB Smart Chain. BNB Beacon Chain didn't support smart contracts, and updating it would have bogged down the network, so the team created a whole new chain, BNB Smart Chain. Binance forked Ethereum code, making it faster and cheaper. If you don't know what forking is, it's the definition of imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Basically, it means duplicating someone else's code and making some minor tweaks. Forking ETH's code made it easy for developers to move projects over to BNB Smart Chain without doing a whole lot of work. BNB Smart Chain also uses Solidity, which is the most widely used programming language for Ethereum. BNB Smart Chain allows for cross -chain asset transfers, smart contracts and EVM compatibility, which is the Ethereum virtual machine, all the while maintaining transaction fees significantly lower than Ethereum, typically less than $1. It felt like a prayer had been answered back when Ethereum fees had gone through the roof. However, because the transactions were so low and it was pretty cheap to create new tokens, it became really easy for scammers and rug pullers to create new projects with zero accountability. Other cool functions of BNB include their own cashback debit card, paying for travel on certain websites and using it across crypto land to buy virtual land or play games. Since July 2022, the average block size for BNB Smart Chain has ranged from about 50 ,000 to 26 ,000 bytes with a typical speed of a bit over 3 seconds, which spikes sometimes during heavy activity. It has a different consistency mechanism for the BNB Beacon Chain using proof of staked authority. Participants stake their BNB to become validators, and when they propose a block, they receive a transaction fee. BNB Smart Chain recently increased their validator limit from 21 to 41, which seems like an attempt at further decentralization. You need 10 ,000 BNB to become a validator, but regular users can become part of this process by choosing a validator with which to stake their BNB, and then they receive part of the rewards. The consensus method is fast, cheap and uses less energy than a proof of work model. A couple other interesting projects under the BNB Chain umbrella include Binance Launchpad and BNB Greenfield, which was launched in 2023. Launchpad is an ICO platform that allows BNB holders to get early access to new projects, and the BNB Greenfield is not actually a green field. It's a decentralized data storage system where data is stored across several computers or nodes. Large amounts of data can be stored off -chain without a centralized entity like Google or Apple Cloud. This increases security since it's harder for hackers to handicap, increases user control, freedom and privacy, and can facilitate data transfer to BNB Smart Chain to interact with decentralized apps. BNB has created such a robust ecosystem that is separate from parent company Binance that it continues to grow despite the lawsuit launched against Binance by the SEC in June of this year. Since then, BNB Smart Chain has pushed forward, releasing OP BNB, a layer 2 testnet powered by Optimism, and then in July of this year, BNB Beacon Chain completed its Zhang Hang hard fork, which added even more security to the network. The BNB Chain is growing so quickly that you will need to keep up to date on all the news if you want to invest in this project. Take this starter pack and run. Thanks for watching.

A highlight from The No Interruptions Podcast - TikTok Ban Debate
"There are more identity threats than you realize, even if you monitor your credit, only a little personal info needs to leak out, like your social security number or your password, for you to end up underwater. LifeLock alerts you to threats you could miss. If your identity is stolen, a dedicated U .S.-based restoration specialist will work to fix it. No one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions, but everyone can save up to 25 % their first year at lifelock .com. This week's No Interruptions podcast is about TikTok, big news this week out of South Carolina. As you know, I used to host the Clemson football Tiger Tailgate show, so I know Clemson University quite well, and Clemson University banned TikTok from its internal servers. I keep wondering how this actually is going to look like. What does a TikTok ban look like? Brad Palumbo is editor -in -chief and co -founder of Based Politics, which I am loving. I'm enjoying it very, very much. Brad is a libertarian conservative journalist. You've probably seen his work on The Washington Examiner, The New York Post, Newsweek, maybe seen him on TV. Brad, it's great having you on the show. Daniel Greenfield, who's an investigative reporter and journalist at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, covering everything from the Left's war on America to terrorism abroad. He writes for front -page magazine frontpagemag .com, has his own blog as well. Daniel, thanks very much for joining us as well. Let's start with you. I'm struggling with understanding, pragmatically speaking, how a TikTok ban works, but I've read your work. I've read some of your background. Tell me a little bit about why you think we should ban TikTok here in America. The simple answer is that TikTok is a whole lot like Facebook and big tech companies, except it's much more abusive and it's run by the Chinese Communist Party. We know this from former executives with Bytedance, which is TikTok's parent company. We know that there's a unit called the committee within Bytedance. We know that even though TikTok executives repeatedly come to Congress and say that all the data stays in America, that it's monitored by American teams, that actually everything is seen in China. That's a quote. There's some backdoor access to user data in almost all of them. Furthermore, TikTok's people have the ability in China to monitor individual Americans, get their location, find out what they're doing. Your smartphone in general is eavesdropping device that is monitoring you all the time. With TikTok, your smartphone is a monitoring device that goes directly to China. And this is not just happening to adults who can make decisions. TikTok aggressively targets children and the results are destructive. First of all, it means that China has a direct pipeline to what your children are doing. And TikTok is even more destructive than ordinary social media. We've seen a number of American children actually die because of TikTok challenges that were pushed to them. Last year, there was a lawsuit in which an eight and nine -year -old girl died of self -strangulation after TikTok's algorithm pushed a blackout challenge for them in which they were encouraged to strangle themselves with belts per string and twist ties until they actually passed out and eventually died. This is something that China does not allow within its own borders. Bytedance's version of TikTok in China is closely regulated. It is not allowed to promote any kind of destructive behaviors. Within America, however, they can promote the most destructive behaviors possible, including those that have killed about five American children thus far. TikTok spies on Americans. It is a direct pipeline to the Chinese Communist Party and it is killing American children. The argument for banning it is pretty straightforward. All right, Brad Palumbo, Daniel makes some compelling arguments in favor of banning TikTok. I know you've certainly embraced the digital space. I've become a big fan of Based Politics. Everybody I've recommended on my show, based -politics .com. As somebody who really appreciates that space, you have argued against banning TikTok and you wrote a very powerful argument back in March at the Washington Examiner, all the reasons why the U .S. should not ban TikTok. Go ahead and why don't you respond to the arguments that Daniel laid out and explain why you disagree with the idea of a TikTok ban in the United States.

US urges Russia's Lavrov to see suffering of Whelan's sister
"The U.S. delegation brought the sister of an American imprisoned in Russia to the UN Security Council for a session being chaired by the Russian foreign minister. I'm Ben Thomas with how that went. Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov was chairing a meeting focused on making multilateralism more effective through the UN charter, but the UN secretary general and representatives from western nations laid into Lavrov, accusing Moscow of violating that charter by attacking Ukraine and other actions. U.S. ambassador Linda Thomas Greenfield. Russia has violated universal human rights and fundamental freedoms both outside and inside its own borders. It is violated international law. That includes the wrongful, detention of American citizens. With Elizabeth Whelan in the visitors gallery, her brother Paul serving a 16 year sentence in Russia for espionage, Thomas Greenfield accused the Kremlin of using detainees as political bargaining chips. I'm calling on you right now to release Paul Whelan, Evan gursky, immediately. To let Paul and Evan come home. And to cease this barbaric practice once and for all. I'm Ben Thomas.

A Knee or Hip ‘Replacement’ Without Surgery? It’s on the Horizon
"Protocols coming out in regenerative medicine that that kind of restore and re-grow articulate cartilage which that that layer of connective tissue that covers the end of our bones and allows joints to maneuver in in the past. You know we'd have to get that type of thing resurfaced or get a knee joint replacement which lot times a young person like me. Who's young been pushing. My body really hard for the past twenty years. The idea of getting a joint replacement is not that that Exciting of a prospect especially considering those those joint replacements don't don't last for real long time. This article got into everything from like brand new experimental drugs like one called spree. Fairmont which stimulates cartilage cells. These little carla shells called contra sites to grow it gets into another injectable. Drug called the laura civil servant and that inhibits the proteins that caused like carlucci generation than develop the development of of arthritis. And then it also gets into these really cool procedures like Like an inter office procedure. Where you'd actually take bone marrow out of a patient's say hip and then what you do is you would go in with a with a needle like digital ultrasound. Guided imaging and drill little holes in the in the surface where you see cartilage generation kind of like in the same way you would fertilize lawn and then you just fill all those little holes with the bone marrow and the bone marrow stimulates the new cartilage to grow in a similar ways. You would get if you were literally just like repair. All the cartilage almost like a surgical glue like a surgical cartilage glue

"Likely to go to the hospital and they may have a little bit of a breakthrough infection. But it's nothing like what would have happened to them if they hadn't been vaccinated and are there any concerns about agitates in the vaccines. I realize that's a difficult question. Because i believe there's aggents like every vaccine that we're getting these days. That's that's a that's a platform. The antibac- community stands upon. Is you know aluminum. Albumin all these all these other things like is there any concern about you know because you and i know you. I know you're wear this because you don't like the concept of suva cooking talking last night and the idea that classics from those bags might degrade you know. It's one of the reasons i use the the stature brand higher grade It's not a plastic but it's kind of similar to the withstands heat. But i know i know you're aware of and concerned about things like micro classics in the human body or toxins or metals. You know you got molecule air filters in your house etc so with you being as aware of. Is it for you kind of an issue where. The benefits outweigh the drawbacks of any events. In the vaccine okay. So we're we're on a and then we'll go to the other ones next. There's no edge events in the mri vaccines okay. And so then for me on the good side just give me a downside but on the good side the marin vaccines i think come into the body the mr is unstable says can get broken down and be gone but it does create an immune response and it creates some cells. That are gonna be ready to protect you. And i think long term. there's no azmin. there's no anything in there. That's going to be triggering any long term thing. I think what you're getting at an all kinda. Maybe we talked about this a little bit. What happens is when you create a big immune response just like what happened in your new that immune response if there was already something else going on can be more intense. So if you already had a scorpion by when you have a big immune response in your knee and it could bend and scorpion bite or something else. You're more likely to have a bigger reaction to vaccine. And so then. Yeah so the the the classic ones is we see if somebody's going to have a crazy reaction to the cove vaccine almost always those people retest them and either have mauled lime one of another handful of irises like epstein barr. Cnbc not a lot of people are talking. So these stealth cohen sections that people have which are quite common mold line heavy metals mycotoxin etc if you get vaccinated. You're far more likely to experience these deleterious side effects. Yeah because what happens. Is those populations of people. And that's a lot of the antibac- community have i've taken care of tons of those patients. Because often they had vaccine triggered a crazy reaction that was because their immune system was in ten out of ten strauss. And so when you're immune systems in hand attend. Strasser evens seven out of ten stress. And then you get something that taps on the shoulder of your immune system and says let's go. We gotta make antibodies and immune system. I sometimes that can be a little too intense. I have a way to turn it off. Then you can be stuck in kevin implemention cycle kinda like you were in your knee but the same thing can happen in your entire body. Okay so do you think it's prudent for someone who was going to get like. Let's see an a vaccine to screening beforehand for some of these stealth co-infections as annoying as that might be as big of an extra step. That might be. Wouldn't you say that'd be like a prudent approach like in terms of best practices. You know it's intriguing but you the testing for all of that stuff is pretty expensive. And if you don't have a clinical indication for that. I probably wouldn't do that. And in general what happens is the other side of the equation. Which has a little bit of a problem is that kovic was somewhat. I would say somewhat and don't take the wrong way somewhat infectious okay but the delta variant is like massively more infectious they say. It's it's more contagious than smallpox. And so what's going to happen. As as this virus continues to grow replicate in primarily the unvaccinated population. What can happen is there's going to be a potential to dramatically worse and we don't know when that's going to happen and so i think from an immune perspective if you can. I think the best course probably is to think about getting vaccinated. But then i think what's gonna happen is and then know that there's going to be an evolution of this stuff but the platforms pretty good and we may end up needing brewster's for the next couple of years even once a year but that may not be that bad of a thing and then we may end up with a very robust immunity against krona viruses from kinda vaccination program now similar to the already existing argument pre cova d- about for example. You know amping up a child's immune system with vitamin d and and and you know seeing them like a western precious diet and exposing them to good floral variety to support. You know the the you know the the the the the the gut by them and the skin biomet cetera. People say well that's just as good as getting a vaccine you know. My kids never gotten smallpox polio. Anything i can fully protected them and you'll hear a lot of people now similar saying well. Why can't we do like you know it was like joe. Rogan was recent figure. You know he did ivermectin and he did like sauna and he got some kind of like i think you may have done some kind of peptide bio regulators like diamond smell and you know a lot of things that people are using as a treatment for kobe but many people are also using those as like turning to the vaccine. Saying why i could. I don't need a vaccine. Because like ivermectin or hydroxy clark clan or some of these things negate the need for 'cause if i get sick they'll just crush the virus therefore don't get vaccinated like what what's your what's your take on that because i know people are going to say the comments section. Why the hell would you do like a vaccination especially people who are more libertarian or conservative or who wouldn't like the idea of a force vaccination. They'll come in and say well. Why wouldn't we just use more natural means to knock this out and just vaccinate the immuno-compromised and the elderly okay. So i don't know joe but i would be a fan. I think it's totally hilarious. And i think what i read in the paper is that he also.

"Vaccination so Where do you wanna start now. Okay let's Let's start with the vaccination and so then it's it's super interesting because for me. You know my all the people that i love for the most part of my practice told me we're going to get vaccinated at a lot of them. Were on the fence. And i talked to him and i talked a bunch of men do it. And then as the talked a bunch of the people you're patient gender employs etc into getting vaccination so i talked one hundred percent of my employer into getting vaccinated at it turns out if you're vaccinated as a healthcare provider. Your patients are less likely to get it if they come see you and interestingly i love with barb who's immuno-compromised she had a kidney pancreas transplant. You're under c. By a recent medical definitely falls under the category immuno-compromised person and they the of all people who have a super hard time with covert. They're almost at the top of the list and she's taking medication that blends her system but it turns out if you're vaccinated as healthcare providers date on this. You're less likely to come home if you got exposed to cover it at work and in fact somebody in your family. Okay or were you concerned. I'm curious what vaccination you've got and what kind of concerns you had or do have about what a lot of people are talking about. Which is the lack of what seems to be long term safety data on the current vaccination options for kovin. Okay so this is like a one hundred year pandemic it's And so we're on a very accelerated schedule with the vaccines. I chose the the platform. And i chose the pfizer madonna advisor about the vaccines. And so then. Basically i've got quite a bit of experience with the immune system and immune problems and stuff like this. And what the marin vaccines are is it some marin a that encodes for the spike protein and so when you get the vaccine that vaccine has ma a in. It's wrapped in a little casing to kind of protect it because his party unstable. Which is why i need to be kept cold by the gotta keep super cold so then that gets absorbed into themselves and they take and they put a little bit of spike protein on that only lasts for about two weeks. But when that happens it stimulates your immune system that stimulates actual your whole immune system so simulates the b. cells that make antibodies. But it also stimulates the tesol search and then what happens is a result of that. Is you create an immune response. The immune response has not as intense as with the other vaccines. And so you gotta get two of them so you get one creates a little bit of immune response you wait somewhere between a couple of weeks in a month and you get a second one now. A lot of people are concerned about the idea of the idea that somehow affecting your genetics or causing longer term exposure of the spike protein or many of the side effects that we seem to be seeing with some people who have unvaccinated. Are those fears unfounded or or is there risk in terms of like genetically altering the human body. We use some aren't okay. That is a fantastic question. Mri does not that encoded and cure your dna. So emma rene is just an instruction to print protein. So that mr a vaccine is going to live for few weeks inside you. It's going to instruct cells to make a pro team. It's gonna cause your immune system to go wait a minute. Let's make some antibodies him. Let's focus on this some. Listen memorize this then. You're going to make a bunch of antibodies. We test to see if you're making antibodies in.

I just had to kind of get a little newsflash out to you guys about regina medicine that is really interesting because kind of pivot here. Big time when i was talking with matt a couple of nights ago or whatever eaten bison rabbi or all sorts of stuff in his freezer. We've been we've been smoking up on the trigger. You started talking about About covert and vaccinations is people inevitably talk about these days when they're huddled over dinner and you know matt's interesting take on it. I want him to share with you because a lot of times i guess what you see. In the functional medicine space in many cases in naturopathy. We caught my call alternative medicine or you know nonstandard medicine. Sometimes you'll see a real real black and white approach and in many cases in the alternative health community or kind of like the naturopathic community or the functional medicine community. People are like Basically vaccinations are horrific and are unproven and come with a lot of potential side effects. You'll see some people focused on just targeting a specific high risk portion of population such as the elderly in the immuno-compromised which i've always thought seems to be reasonable approach and then people will propose a lot of alternative remedies. You'll hear people talking about. I've ever met in and roxie chloroquine and and you know that's that's honestly kind of what i did when i personally had cova and it worked out for me and i never did actually get vaccinated yet. I'm not. I'm not anti vaccine. Just i haven't been comfortable yet with some of the safety data. I've seen and so i just i i haven't gotten not because i'm against the idea of ax down vaccinated. My kids are vaccinated. They use a we didn't extended schedule vaccination with my children. We chose not all the vaccines but some of them particularly those that we felt comfortable getting for international travel. I don't know if i do things differently if i go back over again. But regardless i'm not antibac- some of those guys who super open minded and what's just look at the research and see what's working.

The Benefits of Exercise Vs. Diet For Fat Loss
"Now. What's also interesting. Is that another study compared. And this when you're gonna find fascinating. So what they did was. They put people into a negative energy balance. Like you would if you're on a diet or you weren't eating enough calories or you're exercising or exercising and restricting calories and what they found was well what they looked at first of all what they looked at was participants in which they got them into a negative energy balance by having an exercise their way to a negative energy balance so exercising to burn calories and burn a greater number of calories. And you're taking in caloric restriction to do the same thing or combining exercise with caloric restriction. Now here's what's interesting when we look at visceral fat which is arguably one of the types of fat stats of particular concern because it is the type of fat that's associated with an increase in metabolic risk and you compare that to the amount of subcutaneous fat loss. Which is you know. That's more the battle on your arms. Your legs less less problematic when it comes to chronic disease risk factors what the findings were was that all the groups that experience a negative energy balance through either clark restriction or exercise loss fat but the group that achieved all of their weight loss via exercise lost the most amount of the visceral fat even more than the people who got the negative balance through a combination of exercise and calorie restriction. So this kind of shows you that. I mean from a fat loss and particularly a decrease in a problematic type of fat trying to get the the best way to do. It is via movement not just dieting and even movement alone seems to be able to do and this is probably because skeletal muscle can act in different organs just like hormones. Skeletal muscle secretions action. Different hormones are in different organs so those molecules called myo canes and their secretion is influenced by exercise for example i'll six which is a site. Akina gets a created by your muscles. During exercise that promotes we know this visceral adipose tissue loss in response to exercise possibly even related to that vesicles signaling effect that i brought up earlier that they've just studied and found but i mean if you're in a scenario where like dieting is not an option. Whatever maybe it's a highly social scenario or your family union on vacation or whatever you can still stave off all of the nasty fat accumulation. That's the most problematic kind of fat accumulation through just exercise actually beats out dieting. Jeff was super interesting

Study Reveals the Secret to Longevity in Japanese Centenarians
"To ancient things. A new study is pop. The is a japanese study and his japanese study was looking at a group of japanese centenarians. Who seem to have these seemingly magical powers. They have an average age of one hundred seven amongst the healthiest longest living humans on earth protected from chronic diseases that that inevitably haunt a lot of the rest of us as we age like obesity and diabetes hypertension and cancer. But what they found these people that really stood out was the trillions of microbes that lived in their gut It wasn't the amount of the microbes but it was. It was the composition of those gut bugs. The composition of those gut bugs basically. They had a bacterial signature. Those similar to the strains of bacteria in in each and every single one of the centenarians but a lot of them had a very similar microbiome in one strain in particular stood out and it was type of bile acid. Okay or is it a bacteria that synthesizes bile acid now bile acids what you might know. Is this kind of boring bodily fluid that's commonly known for digesting fats. But it's now being called as a class of entering hormones hormones that go beyond their classic role in fat digestion and absorption. So what they found. Is that these bile. Acids helped to protect sensitive gets infection and other environmental stressors. So it's really interesting because we know that that the gut bile acid content to decrease a little bit as one ages in the secondary by lasts a really powerful so they've done studies in mice before they looked at the these these microbiomes humans and they found that the gut bile acids to regulate immune cells and prevent some dangerous microbes from taking over the gut.

How Ben Greenfield Exercises & His Workout Philosophy
"Have a background in bio mechanics and exercise physiology right. That's that's what. I did my master's degree in university of idaho. And so i like to. I like to chunk the programs that create. and and so. If you're listening in this is what you need to step back and ask yourself about your fitness program. I like to include certain components that that specifically focus on core buckets of fitness. So the first would be strength. Like every fitness program needs a lifting heavy shit type of component. Now that can include lighter weights to failure that can include blood flow restriction training right which we actually included in the latter's program has an option to simulate or to trick the muscle into thinking that it's under heavy load that can include super slow strength training with a slightly lighter load like ten to thirty second up ten to thirty second down which is fantastic for for for bringing a muscle to failure at a low risk of injury with a minimum effective dose of exercise like a super slow full body. Strength training workouts. Like fifteen to twenty minute workout and it can also include traditional strength right. Squats dead lifts overhead presses preferably for all of those. I like to use unless someone's going through rehab physical therapy or they're really kind of aesthetically going after certain body parts you know it's like bicep curls or calf raises or whatever. I like everything to be multi joint as much as possible on my programs. You don't have leg day you don't have stomach day. You know triceps and biceps day. That works for a bodybuilder. Who's got like two to four hours a day to spend in the gym and completely crush each of those individual body parts and i used to be a bodybuilder. I used to experiment with that stuff. And and i've realized that if you want the minimum effective dose of exercise every workout is full body right. When was the last time that you used your body and it was just lower body or just upper body or you're trying to play a game of tennis and it was just triceps right. So there's a functional component and also a time saving component. When you're not doing body parts sweats newsroom. Full body instead.

What loaded typical workout. Actually be for you. Sure capable workouts not fifty minutes. And it's probably subdivided roughly half into cardio in roughly half into resistance training with weights. And the i'd swap back and forth every called every six to ten minutes between the two so imagine two or three sets of each the cardio component would typically be a mix of jog runs. Sprint job runs french jog run sprint. So during the heart rate up. Max bring it back down not all the way but to you know so where you can breathe normal rows of normally and then spring back up and then bury the incline. Sue tried to the same fight on a plot ground surface and you guys sprint faster. Typically but then increased incline and try to maintain as much of the speed. And then there's different cycle is sector qatar's up and down. You can bury adler thirty seconds. Thirty seconds at the highest intensity or sixty six high-intensity mean or if i i kinda rotated that around somewhat for mental variety unless you're how much physical training really requires us but Up in synchronized to music. So i think music is gonna be darius active from premium performance. It also is very effective for improving Emotional tolerance of intensity training which is related on a lot of good studies.

How a Movement of Cannabis-Fueled Athletes Is Changing the Science of Sports
"Certainly experimented with a lot more more different approaches than just ten to twenty milligram dose of of cbd in writing this book. And i i really thought jus- i like one of the most entertaining. Parts of the book in the early sections was something i was totally unaware of. And that's something called the four twenty games. I didn't know there was such a thing. But i was kind of chuckling reading that section of the book and i'm curious what were the four twenty games those kind of have to do with your initial inspiration for writing this thing. Yeah by that time. I had been using cannabis for a long time personally and had been using it As a runner for maybe about a year at that point and as journalists there been so much to cover in terms of events or news and so for the poor twenty games when it was touring around america in came through boulder was really just another assignment That i had you know. I was curious about other people doing the same thing that high abeille believed i discovered and a lot of people had that story like they thought they were the only ones who like to get high and workout but in terms of a games as competition for twenty games isn't really like it. It's not comparable to the olympics or or any sort of organized sport. It's it's it's more just a An exhibition of of kind There was a four point. Two mile fund. Run run the boulder reservoir when i went there My understanding is that they have bigger events out in la that are a little more competitive But it was there that i met a recall into a wound up being one of the central characters of my book. He's a A very accomplished ultra marathon runner here in colorado and he was kind of one of the celebrity athletes at the port. Twenty games had come out and do the fun run and talk to people and then after the run there were a lot of tables with all of these different products. Couldn't sell any thc products. But there were a lot of non psychoactive products. They're in really. It was my first entry point to this side of the industry Because the cannabis industry have been around for a few years by that point in their been loads of different types of events but a lot of them were kind of more of the high times stone or culture type events not like exercising athletes. You mean right. Even though that's culture existed at and i don't think it was quite as cohesive because of that fact that a lot of people didn't know that the others who are doing the same thing that they were But when i was out there. I met a lot of people who are like. Yeah i like to smoke a joint and then go lift weights. Or i like to take an edible and then go run a trail so that was one of the early moments where i was like may be more than just a quirky thing that i do or that a handful of people do it may be something.

Astronomers Find 2 Black Holes Gulping City-Size Neutron Stars
"Eating another. For the first time ever. They've seen a black hole, gobbling a neutron star. NPR's Nell Greenfield Boys reports on how scientists were able to spy on this cosmic snack. Black holes are famous for their gravitational pull, which nothing not even light can escape. And then there's neutron stars. Neutron stars are very weird. Maya Fishback is an astronomer at Northwestern University. She says Neutron stars are made of protons and neutrons, the stuff you find inside atoms. But they're crushed together into a shockingly dense fear that's heavier than our sun and can comfortably fit within the city of Chicago. Now, scientists say they've caught a black hole, eating a neutron star in one giant gulp. And then 10. Days later, they saw another black hole. Do the same thing for these particular systems. The neutron star would have just plunged into the black hole without Admitting any light. If all this gnashing didn't put out detectable light, then how did researchers spotted by sensing gravitational waves? Those are the ripples in spacetime created by powerful violent events out in the universe. Gravitational waves were predicted to exist by Albert Einstein over a century ago, but not detected until 2015 Chase. Kimball is a graduate student at Northwestern, he says, the ability to register gravitational waves has been a game changer for astronomy. So it's like, you know, flipping the sound on on a silent movie or something like that. Where we previously just been watching the universe, and now we can listen to it through this gravitational waves. In this case, the black holes gobbling neutron stars generated gravitational waves that took about a billion years to reach Earth. In January of 2020. The waves triggered three giant

A New Way to Build Muscle? the Benefits of Using an Electrostimulation Suit
"Or i folks so in recent weekly roundup i. I reported on what i think. I called in the roundup. Possibly the world's most efficient new way to work out. And i told you to get ready for the next frontier of something called electrical muscle stimulation which is also known as ems. And i've done podcasts. On coma stimulation before. I've done articles on used it from muscle retraining of for recovery of it for building strength. But it's always been an issue because you gotta like get all these electrodes and put a bunch of gel on them and put them in areas of the body and precisely place them according to where the manual instructs you to and then they all have a bunch wires hanging off of them that you get tangled up in while you're working out and don't get me wrong. Those units work but by the time i guess setup for workout. It's like ten fifteen minutes. And by the time i take everything off. It's another like five to ten minutes. And so i was. I was my my ears. Perked when my friend martin was over my house and he had the suit in a bag that he brought with him and he pulled it on and it looked like a suit that worn in new york city once for an electrical muscle stimulation workout. But that suit. I wore new york city. Stalled wires coming off at this thing. He just pulled on flipped open his ipad and it automatically stems your body like full body workout without you doing anything except like pulling this suit on and so i got one and i've been using it and it's a total game changer. Literally just pull on the suit. You select from any of the workouts on the app in this personal trainer.

Using Minimal Effective Dose to Maintain Your Strength, Endurance, and Muscle Size
"Got one other for you before we open it up to this week's q. In this was in the national journal strength conditioning research and kind of related to what. I was just talking about but rather than maintenance of weight loss. This one looked into maintenance of muscle maintenance of muscle and so the title of this particular study was the minimal dose of exercise so for all time hackers. Hopefully your your your ears perked when you heard that the minimal those of exercise needed to preserve endurance and strength over time. So what these folks looked into was all the different studies. This is a narrative review. They looked at all the different studies out there. That show you know once you once you've kind of gotten the body you want or the muscle you want gotten to the state of fat loss or fat loss maintenance that you want. How do you continue that over time. And there are some really really good practical applications in this particular study. This wouldn't necessarily be to improve performance but this would be to maintain performance. And it's less than what you would think like if you're as fit as you want to be but you wanna maintain that. Let me give you a few examples. So let's say short term endurance. So so you wanna maintain your fitness for for short-term darts usually be like playing sports tennis soccer basketball etc. It would appear that you can do about thirteen minutes per session at around two sessions per week at around sixty to eighty percent intensity and actually maintain your short term endurance very effectively for a long duration of time for long term endurance. Right like being able to go for long periods of time such as you might have accomplished after running a marathon or triathlon. Or something like that. Basically for that you can get away with about twenty five to thirty minutes per session okay. Twenty five to thirty minutes per session as long as you're maintaining his high in exercise intensity as possible during that steady state. Twenty five to thirty minute session. Who is shockingly low like. Let's say you've gotten yourself being like ride a bike for sixty miles and then you just wanna maintain that because you're going into work mode and you've got like eight weeks where you know. You got trained that much. You can literally maintain that with twenty five to thirty minutes for a session and in this case again. We're talking about a couple of times a week two times per week for video to match what your maximum oxygen capacity again if you can maintain your maximum sustainable pace and this was very similar for about thirteen to fifteen minutes at around one session per week. That's enough you to maintain your view to max.

He shouldn't be available during the day so if he's calling during the day so there's this script that we had to go through about how answer where my dad was and who he was and what he was doing it just to add levels to my dad's covert cover. You probably grew up petrified about sneaking a cigarette into the backyard. oh no this sharpened and honed. My tradecraft true. I still got away with stuff that most kids didn't get away with with a dad that was trained to do this. One of the only ten year olds in the neighborhood smuggling smuggling narcotics in in a condom in your whole not not literally played eight. My dad was a candy. Go into this parking garage and find out if you can break into this yellow camaro. That's in there and try to find out whose name is on the registration because have warrant to get in there. And i was like. Oh yeah sure like not even as this is eight years old now with some that six blows my mind that these things were happening there but at the end of three days. You are on a trajectory. And i'm complimenting you and applauding you not everybody takes ownership of the process. Well you you you wouldn't you wouldn't be complementing so my draw speed. You're aware of it right. And that's a big part of it and as you walk into the grocery store like you're seeing in you're seeing all these things around you right now. It's conscious thought that you do it the less time you're going to have to spend on it so to answer question. What if she response Sheepdog came from colonel grossman. He wrote some some great books one of them on killing but this was a metaphor a parable about three different groups of people. One is the sheep regular everyday living your life like not in a derogatory way that i think the left and the right use the word sheep but just just people living right. They're gonna eat grass. They're gonna make little sheep and they're just living a regular life and then there's the predators the wolves that are looking for the week ones of the society of the herd the flock to go and kill to provide some wolf's instances just satisfaction because they don't even need the meat they just want to kill and then there's a sheep dog the sheepdog has way more in common with the wolf has canines. It has a digestive system. That's designed to to process. Meet it can has all the predatory skills of of a wolf. It hasn't musculature of wolf at the bone structure will wolf but the thing that separates it is. It loves the sheep and the sheep. It's flock is what it is is. They don't even know why. But that is their sole purpose for existence is to protect the flock and that is the name but the process came from. I'm a green beret in when i was over in iraq and afghanistan. I'm fighting the worst. What i thought was the worst dudes on the planet hunting down. We're part of the task force. That killed zarqa we. There's bin laden leader of the taliban. There's cowie leader of al qaeda in iraq and it's part of the task force that killed him And we're over there. And while i was over there there were shootings happened in the united states. School shootings active shooters and it was like it was gut punches raw mcmahon. I'm over here doing this. I'm walking down the halls that are filled with giants just absolute heroes barrel chested freedom I argue that pulled out a night and slit one of these guys arms open red white and blue would just pour out of arms. Got that that that that navy seal stash was. What's the handlebar. Yeah cannibal show list jaws just looked so stoic a little chins you know there is a stele. Every look they make is blue steel. I'm joking but i'm not 'cause like this is just all of them. Look and we're sitting here watching these things happen in the united states and frustrated like. Why can't one of us be there. why can't i. Tim kennedy be sitting in the movie theater in aurora when some prick walks in on the preview the debut of batman starts mowing people down. But why can't i be in the theater on that night on untrained. Nobody that doesn't know anything about really how to do. Violence and before the door opens throws flash a flash bang or a gas grenade. And i'm like sean right for you. That's fun what what most people would find terrifying. What what arguably someone who may have been through sheepdog course might at least be able to keep somewhat of a of the head on their shoulders about like you. You wanted to be able to put people in those type of situations but there weren't there weren't thousands of us. There weren't but now four years into this so that was that was the inception is can i show green beret. First and foremost we are forced multiplier. So you the taxpayer pays me the green beret. Go to places behind enemy lines and tran train friendly forces that believe the same thing that we believe in democracy and capitalism and we know they don't like terrorists we're going to go over and find friendly forces that want to fight the taliban we're going to help them and empower them and if i can do that overseas. Why can't i do that in the united states so we came back with this new vision of going to empower the american people. You know if you go back to seventeen. Seventy three seventeen seventy four. A tyrannical government was like we're gonna tax you on this t- and we're like no you're not. We're going to do what we want. And all of us are a bunch of studs that carved our existence out of the wilderness. And we're going to fight you for it and then we have a revolution. That's the beginning of who we are as as rebels but every individual american bad ass. You know like they. They're gonna fight bears in the wilderness with a nice now. We're talking about josh jumping out with. A spear that was just like a tuesday. Mel gibson the patriot and not an exception. Just the american so then not that. We're a soft society now but we have had. It showed good for the past seventy years that with forgot. Would it looks like to be worried to be scared and to Have to struggle. Meant what a great blessing that we've been so fortunate as a country but now there's wolves knocking on our doorstep. There's there's predators that are prowling in the woodlined looking at us and in countries that are our peers that want to do evil to us and that they're earn powering people here to do evil and then we have this disgusting week coward of the oklahoma serial killer whether it's an active shooter a school shooting the serial killer that is looking for the opportunity to kill as many people as he can for whatever reason. I don't care what the motivation is whether it's a radical muslim or a crazy christian or a depressed kid like i. I want to address those issues and hopefully prevent them. But i also want to be ready for whoever that person is whenever they walk into that christmas party in ventura and they start trying to shoot people. We have now trained nine thousand americans and next year. We're in a train. Another twenty one hundred man every year following. We're going to add to that and there's going to be tens of thousands of people like you. That are dry. Firing that have situation awareness. That are walking into a grocery store or not looking. They're not looking at their phone. Is up with a weapon knowing that my family and those around me are going to be safe to protect because i'm here right. And that was the beginning of sheepdog response. And it's kind of funny because it's not funny but it's it's meaningful that you know what i discovered. I think the first night of that course. We're watching some videos. You know it was one of the few times when we just got to sit around for some classroom time. That was the thing about a three hour long situation awareness course and they showed us a video and i became starkly aware of my own lack of situational awareness..

"Hundred milligrams of caffeine not a five hundred milligram. Pop your eyeballs out and smoke out your ears. Pre-workout drink like a little bit of caffeine in the afternoon seems to enhance fat-burning more than you have your caffeine in the morning. I think this is notable because one one thing of pondered about a little bit is why we drink coffee in the morning. Aside from its magical effect on the ease of a morning bowel movement when in the morning is sunlight hits our eyes and as we wake and katie and rhythm begins. We have this natural cortisol response. That dictates metabolism gets a jump. Start even without coffee early in the morning and theoretically if you're trying to keep yourself from getting tolerant to coffee or keep yourself from engaging in excess coffee intake it would seem that you could theoretically perhaps have decaffeinated coffee or tea or some type of adapted jank mushroom or something like that in the morning and then save your caffeine intake for the afternoon evening particularly for goals are fat loss and you would see an actual increase in fat oxidation by using this type of approach now. Furthermore as a reported in a podcast recently it appears that for pre pre-workout drinking your caffeine is actually not as advantageous as chewing on some type of caffeinated gum or or like a caffeinated lawson or something along those lines now. one thing. You might find interesting. That i've personally been experimenting with is. You may recall dr craig. He's guy to my podcast before he's a guy who makes these like fast vitamin issues. That he sends out. He's a guy who sent me like any d- ivy's before he's one of the cool physicians who i have in my back pocket. Who i think is a real brilliant guy. He actually recently developed a gum in the gum is super interesting. So the ingredients are any d- right which boosts atp and your nervous system allows for a higher concentration in motto andrea increases atp levels in the might of qendra about twenty five milligrams of any in this gum and then it's got about twenty five milligrams of caffeine at microdosing caffeine that i alluded to which is enough to improve things like concentration. Focus alertness arousal. Fat oxidation your workout performance. But it's a low enough amount towards not gonna block these receptors that would lead to increased wakefulness late into the day and then he puts about ten milligrams like microdosing. Cbs in there. Which is a little bit of a new tropic of itself helps to protect brain cells little bit of an anti inflammatory. And so i've actually been popping piece of this gum in the afternoon to experiment with this saving caffeine for late in the day and then i'll have some key on declawed coffee or some mushroom tea or something like that in the morning. Also like this. This ca- couty made by company called mike akao and it actually seems to to work pre effectively in terms of like an afternoon or early evening workout boost and it seems to work better when i don't have much caffeine earlier in the day and this latest study on the increase of caffeine and maximal fat. Oxidation the caffeine is consumed in the afternoon. Seems to back that up a little bit so i thought that was interesting. You can check the linked to that gum in the show. Notes all hunted down and linked to it. If you go to ben greenfield tennis dot com slash. June solo sewed. Cool study about the timing of your caffeine. There was also an interesting study about omega. Three fatty acids and this one's going to be interesting for those of you who who especially have babies or are expecting or know someone who's expecting it was a systematic literature review on the intake of epa in dha like fish oil when it comes to birthweight healthier babies now basically in a nutshell. Our i guess. I should say an official shell. What they found was that dha and epa supplementation in women who were expecting resulted in higher offspring. Birthweight wait in childhood. Now i've always with any of the women who i work with who i'm helping out with their with. Their meal plans with their nutrition even with their postpartum meeting help support more breast milk production healthier babies at etcetera. I've always recommended to them. What's called a west and a price diet which is a diet rich. In fatty acid coconut oil in different forms of of fish fermented foods lots of organ meats. And almost the type of diet that one would want to eat for really good hormonal support and arguably even either weight gain weight maintenance or or muscle mass or hormone balance or all. The things that this diet is indicated for very clean very cool diet not necessarily like fasting or weight loss diet but man oh man for healthy babies and healthy mothers and this literature review definitely shows that if you are a mom in you're expecting even more so if you're like vegan vegetarian you should really go out of your way to get a lot of epa in dha in your diet. One thing that. I actually get in pouches and all. I need this myself. I don't just recommend it to women who are expecting but also i. I enjoy a sauce that will put on steaks or put on salad. There's this company called serenity baby foods. I found him a couple years ago and what they do. Is they make baby food. But they have these flavors like wild caught salmon with squash all their baby. Foods have is really good. Amounts of olive oil wild caught salmon organic beat organic. Butternut squash grass-fed grasp finished meet vegan or vegetarian varieties to like their organic routes..

"Don't believe that death is necessarily inevitable. And i this a great deal in great detail talking about the naked mole rat and the hydra jellyfish. The bow head wale in my book. Boundless i it seems longevity is largely determined by species anatomy and lifestyle but based on all the data that we have to date it would appear that at this point. Theoretically the limit on human lifespan is about one hundred. Ten to one hundred fifteen years old. And i would be surprised if that significantly increases anytime soon. It will be interesting to see what happens to this. You know increasing prevalence of bio hackers who are spending their existence in hyperbaric chambers. Cryotherapy chamber is pumping into their veins and getting stem cell infusions guilty as charged. However i really can tell you that based on everything. I've seen one hundred ten to one hundred fifteen seems to be around the maximum life span and and. I think that's interesting. I'm going to link to an article about this. John coma and inland jetty in. But if you want to sit back and have a glass of port cigarettes and chocolate and have fun with a lot of people have big family. Dinners laugh lot. Make a lot of friends. It may actually be a better way to live than spending your life. Fasting cold libido list hanging out in an ice bath or at least you should strike a balance between the two in my opinion now a onto another kind of special diet and i thought this was quite interesting. They looked into the the knights templars. So these were templar knights that were associated with exceptional longevity. So it was an order of knights. I believe it was back in about the thirteen hundred's who had compulsory dietary rules that may have contributed to their long lives and their good health. I thought it was interesting going through and actually reading what it was that these folks these these nights actually eight so it was a balancing act between the type of fasting that say monks in those days might do along with the type of provision that a night living a more active military life would actually need to engage in because you can't crusade or joust on a fully empty stomach twenty four seven so the way that these nights were fed was three times a week. They were permitted to eat meat. And on sundays everyone ate meat together with the higher up members permitted both lunch and dinner with some kind of roast animal. Like beef or ham or bacon the salt or seasoning to cure the meat but mondays wednesdays and saturdays they all eight these more spartan vegetable filled meals like two or three meals vegetables or other dishes eaten often with bread and sometimes it would include milk and eggs cheese. They ate a lot of portage. Pota g. e. which is made with oats pulses g- rules and fiber rich vegetable stews in their gardens. They grew fruits and vegetables. Mediterranean produce figs almonds pomegranates olives and corn not gmo corn of course but just regular old corn probably the teeny tiny variety back before we genetically modified corn significantly once a week on fridays. They had a lengthy fast no eggs no milk no animal products. They relied on dried and salted fish or dairy or egg substitutes made from almond milk and the week and the sick amongst the knights were actually encouraged to abstain from these fast and they got meet flesh birds and oliver other food they believed would bring him good health to return them to their fighting shape as soon as possible. They all drank wine but wine was also restricted. Alcohol was not taken an excess but in moderation which is interesting because you see this across a lot of the blue zones as well and even in that john comment lady. I was talking about earlier. There were often mix the wine with different cocktails of antiseptics like aloe vera and hemp and palm and all sorts of different herbs and spices. So why unusually had a lot into it. That went beyond just wine now. I think this is interesting because a few things. Stand out to me first of all. They had like these fast feast fast cycles meaning. They had certain days where they were protein restricted and certain days where they went heavy on protein. Those who are sick or injured of course gotten more of those amino acids more of those proteins. They had low to moderate amounts of alcohol. They had a wide variety of plants grains herbs and spices and really not necessarily myopic diet pure carnivore pure urban core but rather more of a focus on cycling between the amount of calories they would consume and the amount of protein that they would consume now. of course there's only so much that we can learn from epidemiological data like this versus hard. Core human clinical research. I guess i. I play some importance on the idea that we can learn from our ancestors from cultures up charges the blue zones and a link to the full article on the knights templars. But i think probably my biggest takeaway from this and something. I personally focus on is. I will have some days especially my heavier training days. My templar knights sword swing day so to speak. We're actually we'll have more rubai steaks and liver and heavier meats pork loin and pork ribs and pork belly the beef pork wild game type of approach and then on my lighter days. I actually do a lot. More vegetables. herbs spices fish eggs etc glass of organic wine or a mix of cocktails and bidders at the end of each day and then all typically have one day where i eat very light often. I'll do a twenty four hour. Dinnertime to dinnertime fast a couple of times a month. I definitely have periods of time. Where i train in a calorie restricted state over twelve to sixteen hour intermittent fast. And i just think that the these are interesting things that we can learn from these types of populations so a link to that article. But i think you'd find it interesting. How the knights templars actually eight art. We're going to shift a little bit now and talk about one research. Study that i thought was interesting. Caffeine's effects on fatty acid oxidation. Aerobic capacity when you had caffeine in the morning versus the afternoon. So this was a study that appeared in the journal of the international society of sports nutrition. And what they did. Was they tested win. The body responds best to caffeine particularly related to fat oxidation to whole body fat oxidation during exercise. Now it turned out that saving your caffeine for later. In the day as a micro some say micro dose somewhere around the range of one hundred to two.

"Well unless you've been living under a rock. You probably know salt isn't bad for you or at least it's kind of been increasingly less vilified than perhaps it was in the past. I've talked about on podcast before. how yes. Sometimes there's an issue with with isolated high amounts of sodium chloride like you might find you know processed and packaged foods or table salt but ultimately salt is is not only not that bad for you but It's something that i have used in copious amounts in terms of In mineral form in good salts like kona black salt and celtic salt in colima salt. Ever since i was raising ironman triathlon and i figured out that the the pounding in my ears and difficulty i had getting to sleep at night after a day of training nearly vanished. When i just like through all the silly rules. I'd been doctrine. Aided with during my college nutrition studies out the window. Embrace salt and just started like salting on my food and using minerals. And just like we're into my diet a lot more banishing any any potential thoughts of high blood pressure which did not manifest but the the improvements in sleep were profound and now i'm totally on the sole bang ban. We do like king. Tom minerals and salt. Everything people have come over my house and they're just shocked at how much salt i put on foods and i even get kind of like. We're look at restaurants when a chef or a server will bring out the food. And i like salt it before even paced it so i i'm definitely on the on the bandwagon. I should probably invest in some kind of like a assault company. Anyways might might guests on. Today's podcast is actually pretty well known as the guy who wrote s- one of the game changing books that changed a lot of people's minds about salt. You wrote a book called the salt. Fix and i never interviewed him about that book. Although many others did. And i think the book is wonderful. I i read it a. He also wrote two books like the immunity. Fix the book of the longevity solution and then a newer book that i just finished called the mineral fix. You might be seeing a theme here with the title of the books of this chap rights but anyways so i read the mineral fix and it was really really good like it got into a lot of minerals. I didn't know and this is a guy. I've cited before on podcasts. And mentioned foreign podcast. But i just really never had him on the show. So it's high time that i did. Because he's he's smart need. He puts out some amazing material. His name is james in the nickel antonio james. Nikola tonio is dr pharmacy. He's a cardiovascular research scientists very well known in the realm of health and nutrition. He serves as associated or of the british medical journals open heart and is on the editorial advisory board of a bunch of different medical journals. He has co-authored a lot of publications in medical literature and is just really a prolific author with a lot of really good books. If you haven't read the salt fix you should and follow up to. That would be the mineral fix and i wanted. I want to dig into some of the deep dark rabbit holes behind the mineral fixed. Today i would highly recommend that you also read the book though all linked to the book james websites and everything else we discussed on. Today's show if you go to. Ben greenfield finished dot com slash mineral. Fix that's been greenfield tennis. Dot com slash mineral fix. Hey james i do pretty good job pronouncing your name in you. Crushed it then. yeah yeah. I practiced all morning. Nickel intone. d nickel antonio. I got it got it. Yes fortunately no one listening in needs to know how to spell that you can just go to. Ben greenfield fitness dot com slash mineral fix. Are you like me. You do salt your food a lot or or go through a lot of minerals. You'll find that. Basically when when most people switch over from a process food intake to whole foods you need to kinda of replace that salt and no you know most people that are eating a real full food diet. They're going to need to add back the salt for numerous benefits including exercise performance which is obvious but also just simply improving insulin sensitivity and how they feel per day and yeah. I actively add real healthy salts To my food all the time well the actually begs the question and this might be jumping a little bit ahead. Because i do wanna get into into these important minerals but do people who eat healthy tend to have well people who i guess would perceive be perceived to be healthy. Maybe they're not on the mineral bandwagon. They're not using a lot of trace liquid minerals a really good salts or salting their food heavily or anything like that they actually tended to to have more mineral deficiencies than people who might be eating like a process package standard american diet or or simply eating out of packages and containers which we all know a lot of sodium in them to healthy. People tend to be more deficient in minerals. Do you know what healthy people will absolutely be more deficient in salt. Compared to people who are eating processed foods and that's kind of the linchpin to a lot of people who started keno diet or their start starting to consume and don't even realize that and after reading my book they'll say james i started just eating a normal non assault again in my eighth one away or i no longer have in my ears or i feel so much better now and like it was such a simple change but it was literally affecting their lives and they had no idea that was self sufficiency. Well that's important point that you make about kito says i think a lot of people probably one of the common recommendations if you lower carbohydrates just actually increased minerals because the the low energy and the the lack of physical function etc. That seems to be paired. Sometimes to kito genyk diet isn't necessarily due to like hypoglycemia or glycogen depletion but mineral depletion ryden exactly so typically what happens with when you drop your carbohydrate intake and you've been consuming chronically moderate to high on carbs what will happen is the body will obviously lower insulin levels. Insulin helps the kidneys retain salt but also it'll start producing negatively charged kitone bodies and the kidneys have to maintain a pro neutrality in. So what ends up happening at least for the first one or two weeks is the kidneys. Use the positively charged sodium ion to eliminate the negatively charged ketone body and then chronically. You have a reduction in your ability to absorb sodium because glucose helps with the absorption of sodium. So when you cut out the glucose a double whammy you got. That's interesting okay. So the actual processing of key tones requires a greater amount of minerals and then also the absence of glucose will slow cause a depletion of minerals a depletion glycogen would come with a concomitant depletion of minerals yet..

"Slash four twenty nine if you have anything to add into this equation but you know you know. Those banana peels you typically. Just throw away. If you're if you're eating bananas as part of your diet i was fouls eating carbs. I would. yeah yeah well it turns out that. There's something called banana. Peel t banana. Peel t as your as a sleep. Pack so banana heels have potassium and magnesium right natural muscle relaxants and they also have the amino acid l tryptophan which gets converted. Atp five hdp which is converted into into serotonin and melatonin your sleep hormones and And and it turns out that many people have discovered that by consuming appeal t- prior to sleep. They sleep better. And it's actually not the sugar in the banana right. It's just the banana peel. So rather than eating a banana or say like eating a kiwi or some cherries. Which which do the same thing if you are not wanting to eat a ton of fructose right before bed at night or maybe you've already had all your carbs from those wonderful sweet potato fries or sour dough bread at dinner and you don't want even more carbs about but you wanna you wanna make yourself a little sleepytime t what you do. Is you cut off the ends of the banana and you and then you you you peel it. I don't think i'm getting even worried about explain to people how to peel banana. I'm even doing that. Figured how scratch your head and figure out appeal banana also been. Yeah go forward. Ganic bananas convention grow. Bananas are getting you know. They tend to be heavily sprayed with pesticides and then What what the recommendation is to actually dehydrate. Them right to just you can just bash this all at once like just do a whole bunch of the week where you could get all your banana. Peels toss him into the Into the oven at one hundred and fifty five hundred food dehydrated one hundred fifty five around six to eight hours if you want to. You can dehydrate. The actual banana flush too because dried bananas are actually pretty dang. Good especially with dark chocolate and tried bananas. My gosh that's pretty tasty so anyways and then you've got your dehydrated peels once you do with your dehydrated. Peels is you can then just basically grind them and use them like t put them in a french press or a trainer or whatever and and have yourself some wonderful wonderful banana peel a nighttime sleepytime t so there you go. We think jay tried haven't tried it because because literally like it was something that just came on my radar a couple of days ago. And i'm like gosh mentioned on the podcast. I just don't have in bananas around the house right now but once i do this is definitely something i'm gonna try just to see See how it works. We do have some bananas around the house because my boys they like that as a snack and so i tell my wife to hold onto some of the banana peels and she's gonna look at me like i'm crazy but i'm gonna say been greenfield. Said his social. Just say all right. We'll do it. And then i'll give it a go up. You know my go-to before bed is is drinking some rishi and i love doing that however out of reshi right now so. I'm going to try this. I need to dehydrates a banana peel. But it doesn't sound very difficult to make which is nice. And i like being resourceful to and and kind of using the things that i wasn't planning on using so i i really like this idea i'll let you know try and honestly where my mind goes is is..
