This is going to be a casual one. So let's see who jumps in this room here. I'm gonna make sure everything's recording, but I'm recording this one from my computer which makes things a little bit easier because I don't have to mess with the phone and not doing the Whiteboard or any of that thing because we did a big presentation episode last week called the soil will save us we A big presentation episode the week before that called stop being a tweaker which is a really good one. So when I do these like the big presentation ones with a white board and all that. I like to just kind of take a break every now and then take a week where we just chill out and go a little bit casual. So this is am a number 61. There's no title for it. I don't know we're gonna talk about I got a couple of notes written down because I launch that new am a feature on I'm covid website, which is Ama. I dot I am Clovis.com where you guys can leave me your questions. You're asking me anything questions that I'll answer here for you. So I got a few really good ones from there. Then I grabbed a couple of them that people wrote down. I just responded to people directly but then some of these I grabbed because I think they're really great really valuable to talk about here on this episode. We're going to do that. So like I said, like I told you guys in the in the live groups if your members of I'm Clovis or members of the covid Katha me. I got nothing prepped for you tonight. So this is your episode Clovis is growing very very quickly. Those of you that don't know me. My name is Justin Alton. I am the CEO founder of Clovis building a healthy life together. But if you're here by now, you probably know who I am or have probably consumed some of my content or maybe M part of one of my groups are something awesome cool. So let's say what's up to everybody Kayla was up Tammy Laura Christine Sally Judy Jessica. Awesome. So, um, you know, they don't like what I'm on the computer for some reason. It's it doesn't Display the same way when I do a Facebook live from the computer trying to figure that out. Not really quite sure why that is but anyway, it's totally cool a couple of pieces of housekeeping. If you're a member of I am Clovis if you are an I am Clovis member, I launched the first-ever Google Hangout last night and it was a huge success and I'm going to do it again, but there is a change to how I'm going to do things. So I initially allowed 12 people that were members of I'm Clovis decided to sign up for this 12. Did sign up six people showed up and it could not have gone better that six people showed up. That was a really good thing. I really think a 12-person room would be next to impossible to manage people wouldn't have the amount of time. It takes to really go deep on some of these issues. So I was getting some really really good questions some really really good details as to the daily lives what these people daily lives look like and I was able to really really go deep and talk about things and then as the conversation progresses, Has a new detail might pop up that that person didn't know that they should have given me early on. I'm like, oh wait a second light bulb moment and then we could adjust so I really had time to go deep with all the people who were in The Google Hangout last night. So going forward. I'm probably going to cap those Google Hangouts at six people. I think that's why I'm going to do it six was great. It was really manageable. So I'm probably gonna cap it at 6 and at the Google sign up and all that will go up next month. I'll plan a date for that. But you guys know what it is and then sign, Quickly because there's only gonna be six spots this time. So it's definitely going to fill up and it's going to be awesome. But I really really enjoyed it another piece of housekeeping. If you guys haven't heard this from the video I did earlier today. I did this video in I am Clovis. So if you're in Clovis cata me, not an eye on Clovis, you probably didn't see this live video this morning, but I am going to be launching a new podcast series not a new podcast just a new podcast Series. So if you subscribe to the perfect paleo podcast on iTunes or Stitcher or overcast or Spotify. Or whatever, you know that I tend to do just Justin episodes. I have guest interviews. I just launched a badass episode with the one and only Abel James the fat burning man that's on the perfect video podcast from their Clovis dot show / able to check that out covid Stock Show / Abel a bpel. So I do the just Justin episodes. I do the guest interviews. I do the amas. I do the in case you missed it episodes. And now I'm going to be launching an entire new podcast series or segment. I guess you could call it and that's gonna be nothing but The Moniz from you my club is client is going to feature you guys and feature your stories. I think it's going to be a really powerful way to help people understand what makes Clovis different what makes Clovis stand out from other programs the customization aspect the tweaks and changes that I make all the information that I gather from you what makes it so different from every other yo-yo roller coaster diet you've ever tried right? I think the best way to get that information out there is through you know, firsthand client testimonies people that have been with covid. For three months or six months or nine months or a year or whatever. I think that's gonna be really really powerful. So if you want to be involved in that if you are and I'm covid member and you want to tell your story if you have a significant transformation story to tell just email me Justin at I am Clovis.com email me. Let me know that you want to be a part of that new podcast series and I'm going to work on scheduling everybody giving you, you know further instructions. I really want to do a lot of these and I'll do 300 mm if you guys want to do it, right so I'm gonna do as many of these as possible. Maybe maybe I'll release like one a week or something like that and just make that a normal thing. We're going to do like one client story a week or something. So let me know if you're interested in that Justin at I am covid.com what else we got going on in the comments. Annika was up. That was an awesome episode. It was so different hearing men talk about subjects other than Sports. Yes. Lovely. That's true. I am not like most men in that regard. I really don't care that much about sports like Really? Not much. It's fun. I've always talked to my dad about this the other night. It's like yeah, I like the Patriots. I grew up as a Patriots fan. Like I watched the Super Bowl when I was in Thailand, but like if they lose my day isn't ruined right on early. No, I don't I don't get guys like that. I can't connect on that level. You're not on the team. You're not an athlete. You're not throwing the passes. You don't even know Tom Brady never even met the dude. Chill out a little bit. Right? What else you got? Yeah the table conversation. I had a feeling I was going to go that way for those for those of you that don't know it's very we don't even talk about nutrition at all. I don't think we talk about nutrition like once in the whole thing. We might like mention it mention it as like a You know stepping stone for overall healthy. I think I talked about the life after success episode and how health is just a prereq is prerequisite for the rest of your life. Right? But really it's just it's like you're sitting at a kitchen table with like I am right now sitting at my kitchen table in my house. It's like you're sitting at the kitchen table with able and I by the way, you can totally tell that I'm a dude because when I go live from this angle, I'm like, oh this is my bar. Like there's all my alcohol and a glow bright because every dude has a globe And I still have a pumpkin for Halloween that I have all my alcohol paraphernalia. Oh and this animal behind me that I shot. Welcome to my house everybody. I love these kind of casual a maze. All right. So does anybody have any questions you guys want to jump into questions? You want me to give you some of these questions that were submitted via the new am a website you talked about five by five nine episode. What kind of workouts are those? Okay. The best thing for you to do right now is just Google or go to Strong Lift five by five Strong Lift five by five is a power lifting protocol. That sounds scary to some people. It's really not scary. These big compound powerlifting moves are about the best thing you can do for overall health strongness 5x5 kind of meet you where you're at and starts very slow and then the weight goes up progressively. It's a progressive resistance training powerlifting program. So go to strongness 5x5 like 5x5.com. I think it's just strong this five by five. Dot-com then go there check it out. You can email me if you want to talk about it, but it's just a power lifting protocol. It's probably the best combination of strength and physique that I have ever found. So it tends to be either like you're going to be just a power lifter and try to lift as much as humanly possible. The biggest most jacked dudes in the world aren't necessarily the strongest guys in the world. Like I could show you a 300-pound fat guy that could outlift chiseled body builder any day of the week, you know, so there's kind of no, that's what I mean by five by five. It's kind of In between of like gaining strength functional strength, which will improve your life and building muscle and getting that kind of aesthetic, you know, lean physique that a lot of people are after right a lot of women in particular are just terrified of lifting weights for some reason and it's foolish. I don't want to get bulky. You're not going to get bulky. Okay, it's very difficult to get bulky very difficult. Okay. It's like much harder than you think it is. You're not going to lift your six pound weights, you know 15 times and get bulky. It's just not going to happen. So strong this far. Five one of my favorite lifting Protocols of all time. Probably my favorite all around weightlifting protocol. So check it out. What else we got? I like power lifting. Yes me to what's up Eric? How you doing? Man? Shaun's here Brett's here. Eric's here Christine. Yes strongest wind by five also has an app the app is wonderful download the app pay for the pro version. Lifetime is like $9.99 and it's amazing tracks your head tracks your lips for you tells you how much to go up by gives you warm up sets. You have an additional accessory moves, but you can add but that's all part of the the pro feature. It backs it up to a cloud as well. So you never leave you lose your phone like you never lose your workouts or anything. It's a really really great right? Well backups. The table episode. I know we've been told we need to drink a certain amount of water. What ratio do you think is necessary? Yes. This is one of those things that there's not a lot of scientific data for why the the general consensus of how much water to drink is there so really in recent years, it's been revealed that most of your hydration is actually regulated by electrolytes. So a lot of times when people are dehydrated, it's actually it's actually an electrolyte deficiency this you guys know this is I'm a huge huge huge. I scream it from the rooftops how much you need to be taking salt shots like Redmond sea salt. I supplement regimen sea salt everyday people have asked me this recently some clients that are like, hey, I'm multiple weeks in do I still need to be doing salt shots Yeah a hundred percent. This all shots are every day. I start every single day with Redmond sea salt, right? This is really really really important. And if you guys want to go deeper on this and not just hear from me, you need to check out the book the salt fix the salt fixed. Lives into the science dives into all the nonsense BS science that doesn't exist saying that hypertension is caused by sodium, right? Um, it's just nonsense but still the AHA doesn't change the recommendations the amount of sodium they tell you to take in put you at a very high risk of cardiac event. But anyway, long story short the hydration issue. It's mostly electrolytes that regulate your hydration. So the age-old recommendation is get half your body weight in ounces. So let's just say you're a 200-pound person you probably we want to drink a minimum of 100 ounces of water in a day that said It might not be completely necessary. I mean, it's pretty it's not gonna hurt you. It's probably a good way to cover all your bases to get half your weight half your body weight in ounces. But another thing that people do I see this in the bodybuilding World a lot and it's a little frustrating is they think that they want their urine to be clear. They're like, oh if my pee is clear, I'm super super hydrated. Well your over-hydrated at that point and you're flushing electrolytes from your system. So you actually dehydrating yourself. So to give an example if you were to drink like a couple gallons, Water and you had zero electrolytes in your system. You could kill yourself you could actually die from drinking water without electrolytes. Right? So it's kind of interesting if you're just hyper loading water hyper loading water and sometimes bodybuilders to do this because they're trying to cut weight or whatever in the week before League leading up to a competition or whatever then they're going to stop water and take at least 24 hours prior to the competition. There's a lot of things there. I do with Fighters sometimes the where my Fighters don't really have to do it because they cut weight so well, but anyway long story short, yeah. Half your body weight in ounces seems to be the general consensus of like a minimum for water intake and I'm totally cool with that just don't fall into any of the silly stuff like you want your urine to be clear any of that. You really don't need to do that. But electrolytes are every bit as important as water every single bit not 60/40 not 3070 like literally 50/50. You need to be getting electrolytes everyday and the vast vast vast majority of human beings are not doing that. They think They're hydrated, but they acted they think they're dehydrated but they're actually dealing with an electrolyte deficiency. I take salt every day and my doctor took me off my blood pressure meds. That is from Judy. I'm gonna read that again. I'd take salt every day and my doctor took me off of my blood pressure meds. There's great AMA that I did on this called blood pressure Salt and sex think it's AMA. I don't know the number so don't quote me, but go to Clovis not show just search for blood pressure and you can find that episode. All right. So you guys think of some questions and hit me here. Remember while I'm here you want to take full advantage of this? You don't want me to sign off this Facebook live and how do you guys Like oh man. There's that question. I wanted to ask him right? So I'm going to read you a couple of these. So one of them that I thought was really cool that we can go over is a woman wrote to me and here I can just read it to you. Actually What specifically should I have my doctor order in a hormone panel to get an idea of where I am. So this is somebody that's just two weeks into the Clovis protocol and they're just like hey, I am a huge fan of blood work. I do blood work all the time. I do quarterly blood work if something is weird or wonky. I'll do a ditional blood work if I feel like I Ed to that's really where all the answers lie right bloodwork urine on these things like it's best to quantify these things. So wonderful, she's two weeks in wants to do a hormone panel, which is fantastic. So a really good company that does is Wellness FX. I think has a woman's health panel. The one that I went to that I used for years prior to now that I have a really good functional medicine medical medical doctor here in town. He orders my blood work for me, but prior to that I would use Spectra cell and with Spectra cell I I would just walk into any lab test now and get the blood draw there. So you can check out spectres LSP. ECT are a c e LL think that they have a full hormone panel. I'm pretty sure Wellness FX has like a full-blown female female hormone panel and there's there's so many things that you want to test that aren't going to happen. Like you go to your normal Doc and say like hey, can you test my hormones? They might test like, you know, TSH and vitamin D or do like a Thyroid panel, that's not complete or test your estrogen and your testosterone right? Like you're really going to want to test you want testosterone. You want estradiol you want progesterone. You want FSH you want your LH or luteinizing hormone. You want TSH you want free T3. You want reverse T3. You watch t for you want free T4. I always recommend vitamin D. You want to know what your vitamin D levels are inflammation is an important one. I like people to test. The protein and then you just get like a like a comprehensive metabolic panel, which will actually test you for things like electrolytes. It's going to test like your fluid balance kidney function liver function all those things. So someone should take what I just said and turn it into a list or maybe I'll do that in the show notes. But yeah, you really want to get a comprehensive comprehensive panel. This has been happening Non-Stop and Clovis. It's really driving me nuts and I want to be clear here. This is not you guys as fault. It's not my clients fault. It's mainstream's fault. Right people keep sending me their cholesterol panels and they call them a cholesterol panel and they send it to me and it's like HDL total LDL total non HDL total total cholesterol. And that's it. And they're like, my doctor wants to put me on a Statin like look my cholesterol is 209 or whatever. My doctor wants to put me on a Statin and I have to break the news to them of like this was a useless blood test. There was no reason for you to do this. I can't do anything with this and many of you guys in Clovis know this that I have a genetic malfunction that my body doesn't clear LDL particles. Well those receptors. I just don't clear cholesterol particles the way that I need to that's a genetic defect right? There's something weird going on. Genetics now as a result because of sky sky high LDL particle numbers. I have literally sat in the same room. I've been analyzed. I have worked one-on-one and talk to some of the best lipid ologist in the country. Now these lipid ologists are exactly what sounds like lipids that's right. Their cholesterol experts odds. Are your doctor is not a lipid ologist if your doctor orders you a cholesterol test, and it does not include particle numbers. You should not be working with that doctor for cholesterol. Now. I've been knowing the past this a fire your doctor get a new doctor this and that if you want to know about cholesterol go to a lipid ologist, right? It's like asking a normal MD for nutrition advice when they're not a nutritionist, right? If your doctor says we're going to test your cholesterol and they get you a cholesterol panel that does not include particle number. They never need to give you another word of advice about cholesterol ever again because Have exposed themselves as clueless on that particular topic. Does that make sense? So people keep sending these cholesterol panels one. I'm not a doctor. So I can't give medical advice. Not a doctor. I don't pretend to be a doctor. I've never said I'm a doctor. None of what I say has ever or will ever be medical advice. Okay, but people send me these cholesterol panels from these doctors. And I can't even give them a word of advice about it. I just can't it doesn't make any sense that there's no reason that dr. Wasted your money even that's probably covered by Insurance. You probably had to pay a little bit of a copay or money or whatever right? But that's the test that's covered by insurance. They order it and simply waste your money. So this is another thing that I find in the functional medicine versus conventional medicine where I'm just like everybody thinks they're saving money because they have insurance and all my co play it's coming out of your paycheck every week you're paying Nonsense, if you really to were to compare apples to apples particularly in effectiveness of treatment. I really think you're going to save money just having like a catastrophic plan in case you get hit by a bus and then paying out of pocket for like a functional medicine doctor this absolutely critical. I think that I have a question coming up here about pregnancy where I talk about it. I think it's a really important this functional medicine thing. What else we got? Oh Eric. Amen. Number 42 blood pressure Salt and sex. Awesome. What's your take on those that say we don't need more than 40 grams. Protein because any protein that came home? I'm going to read this because it's so foolish. I know it's not you saying Amy so I'm not calling you foolish, but just I'm explain this new second. What's your take on those that say we don't need more than 40 grams protein because any protein that can't be used by muscles and tissues is converted into glucose in the liver by gluconeogenesis. This is a person that doesn't fully understand gluconeogenesis. Right? This is one of those words in the keto community that people latch onto and they like to throw it you so they can Sound like they know what they're talking about. Okay, so gluconeogenesis. You have to remember the body doesn't do anything unless it's basically triggered or told to do so, right. So this is where like fasting comes in why is fasting so wonderful, why does fasting up here to be a wonder drug for just about everything well because you're sending a signal to the body right? Once your digestive system is says, okay, we don't have to focus on this anymore. Wow, we haven't eaten in this much time. We don't have to focus on this anymore or we need We need amino acids. So we're going to go out and we're going to eat. Some of our own cells are going to metabolize some of our own proteins, etc. Etc. Right. So gluconeogenesis. I'll give you a great example of this. I did a hundred and nine hour fast recently and well in the summertime so months ago now and I broke the a hundred nine hour faster for getting in a car accident bubble. Ah, but the test that I did was I wanted to show people kind of how gluconeogenesis works gluconeogenesis works when there's a demand on the body. Okay, so generally speaking Gang if the body needs glucose then if it needs literally requires glucose, that means something glycolytic is happening. Right? So if I'm doing an all-out Sprint, or I'm fighting MMA or I'm doing a Max effort Olympic lifts like a snatch or a CrossFit water or something like that, right that requires glucose that's called the glycolytic activity meaning that it burns glycogen. So we'll strip glycogen from the muscles. It'll put free-floating glucose into the bloodstream that can then be used by the cells to create a EP right but it does this one atom and is placed on it. So there's this weird thing that people do in the keto world where they're like, if you eat a bunch of protein the body is just going to convert it into glucose and it's going to be stored as fat or something the body's not going to take protein convert it into glucose spit it into your bloodstream unless the body is saying I need glucose. Holy crap. I need glucose right now the best way to explain this right this This is going to be the most dumbed down version of this ever write the most dumbed-down version that I probably ever said this I'm probably gonna get lambasted by people who think they know biochemistry or whatever, but I'm making this as simple as possible for you guys to understand if you eat mostly protein, your body is going to look like mostly protein C on saying if you eat mostly fat and carbohydrates, your body is going to look like fat and carbohydrates. Okay so fat. That carbohydrates are energy. That's why I think of protein as protein as its own macronutrient and energy as the second documentary fat and glucose. These can be stored as triglycerides, right? The combination of the two is triglycerides. So gluconeogenesis happens when there's a demand placed on the body. So when I did this fast, I wanted to prove this to people. So while I was fasting every single day, I did some type of intense workout like really intense workout with zero carbohydrates in my system actually zero nutrients whatsoever in my system causing the body. Rely on itself. So the first time I tested this I was over 24 hours passed at that point which mean I'd already depleted liver glycogen and all those things because I'm low carb anyway, right? So I went change your Jutsu tested blood glucose before Jiu-Jitsu test the blood glucose after Jiu-Jitsu with really hard rolling for those who don't know rolling. I was literally live action fighting for an hour, right? So the blood glucose level on the back end of that workout was much much higher. Well, how do you explain that? My blood glucose just went off the charts through the roof. Oof right, but I didn't take in any carbohydrates. I didn't take any protein. I didn't eat anything when there is a demand placed for glucose. The body will create glucose that is what gluconeogenesis is for now gluconeogenesis generally occurs using the amino acids inside of your own body like glycogen. Let's say glycogen is stored in the muscles glycogen is stored in your liver cells average person can store, you know, three or four hundred grams and their muscles and their skeletal muscle. And average person can store probably 62 way maximum hundred grams of glycogen in the liver, right? That's what glycogen is for glycogen sits in your body. It's stored there for a reason for the process of gluconeogenesis. Right? So the idea that the body is just going to start converting protein into glucose for no apparent reason particularly in an average sedentary person who's glycogen levels are never depleted. Why would the body needs to do that, right? Right, so gluconeogenesis happens with the demand placed on the body and a great example of this is if you got you go check out the keto gains guys the word the the website is Quito KET ogier ins so keto games is a great example, they follow more of like a, you know, 30% protein 30 percent daily protein approach with the keto communities like you got to be 20 grand 20 percent daily calories from protein or less or you're going to deal with gluconeogenesis like these bodybuilder guys. They're literally bodybuilding on a keto diet. Right and they're all for high protein and they're still burn and fat like crazy. It doesn't knock them out of ketosis. It's just these people that chase ketones right when you chase Quito you want to be in deep ketosis deep ketosis protein will knock you out of deep ketosis. Yes sure it can but you don't need to be in deep ketosis all the time to burn fat. That's the thing. There's so many misconceptions conceptions around Quito. So I get driven crazy when people are peeing on keto sticks and mad because they're not in deep ketosis or something, right? All right, what else we got? What about Elderberry syrup recommendations was curious if I make my own and use monk fruit sugar? Does it become syrupy like regular sugar? I have no idea. I've never used Elderberry for anything other than immune system boosting get over a cold anything baking or homemade anything. I'm rarely the guy to ask about that. Maybe somebody in the academy or something can answer you but um Elderberry syrup. I have some of the cabin and I just use it like if I feel a cold coming on or something, but I've never mixed it with monk fruit or I've never tried any of that. So I don't know Zig if you soaked almonds and remove the skin and then put them in the dehydrator to dry out. Well enough lectins be removed to eat. Yeah, absolutely. That's the you probably don't even need the hydrate them most of the lectins and almonds exist in the skin. That's why you'll see like the Clovis proof Foods list. I recommend Barney brand almond butter. Now people get confused. They see that I recommend Barney brand almond butter and they'll go run out and buy whatever almond butter. I'm like no I told you a specific brand because Barney's the only brand I've found that actually uses blanched. Almonds, so the idea of soaking and stripping the skin is like a blanched almond right? You can dehydrate them to I guess if you want to but yeah, I mean just the the soaking and removing the Skins is probably enough to get rid of the lectins. You asked about lectins quite a bit Zig you got a lot of lectins in your life man. So the thing that I'll say is I would pick I just pick other nuts, you know, like I love pecans. I love walnuts. I love macadamia nuts. They all taste better to me than almonds do anyway. So, um, you know, anyway, I like dumb. Down. Yeah, so I hope I hope you like that explanation of yeah gluconeogenesis, but it's really when someone's trying to lose fat. It simply doesn't make sense to tell them to eat just endless amounts of fat and limit their protein intake if that's the thing. I've been screaming from the rooftops for over a year that Clovis is not Kido. If you're trying to get rid of body fat, it doesn't make sense to drink a bunch of fat through a straw five times a day and limit your protein intake. Take it simply doesn't make sense. Okay. Jackie Smith 10 points for the Stellar use of lambasted lambaste stood by me not to say it. Now. I can't say it right best drinks when fasting water coffee green tea there really is no better best. I guess you want to limit it be careful with tease because some teas aren't listed correctly and they'll have ingredients that you don't want in them. But for me, it's water black coffee only that's it. Now this depends like if you are dealing with significant leaky gut issues or something like that. I could do something like a bone broth fast with you. But again depends on the individual but if we're just talking about liquids, I mean you really want to keep it to water maybe black coffee some people even argue that you shouldn't do black coffee in a fast. I'm not in that camp. I haven't found the research to really tell me that I think black coffee actually helps a fast in terms of autophagy and things like that some of the anti-aging effects and some of the fat loss effects as well. I think black coffees great. So pretty much water black coffee, not a huge T guy so I don't know all that much people ask me about tea. Sometimes. I don't know all that much about it. There's certainties I'll use for certain things but not a real big T guy my more black coffee guy, but green teas fine black tea is fine. Just just don't put any sweeteners or creamer in these things or that's what drives me crazy is people like his coffee. Okay and a fast I say, yes, and then they add cream and sugar to it. I'm like, well that's not coffee. Now is it hmm? Come on now write anything like that will break your fast. So keep that in mind and check the ingredients always check the ingredients aunties because especially these tees there's a lot of like herbal blend teas that stick all sorts of stuff in the ingredients. Got to be really careful. Barney makes dried almond butter powder. That's pretty cool. I did not know that lovely Details Matter. Yes Details Matter. I make a t-shirt says Details Matter. It's gonna be awesome. All right, Alyssa, we make our own to and use local raw, honey. Love it for immune support just not would you recommend using monk fruit instead of Honey? Is that what you were asking Tiffany? Well, so here's the thing. That's actually another question that I was going to touch on here is somebody wrote in to the AMA section. So I'm allergies going nuts today and asked me about Honey other benefits to raw honey. Yeah, I guess so some people swear by it for allergies actually, some people think it's good for sleep. But really at the end of the day when they're talking about the benefits of it like raw honey can help asleep really and that's just basically giving a good little dose of glucose for your brain to run off of while you're sleeping while you're fasting so that can help guys like Dave asprey have talked about that for a long time of like a little bit of honey raw, honey and a little bit of like MCT oil before bed helping with deep sleep. I don't know. Maybe it does maybe doesn't probably anecdotally try it yourself. Now if you're talking about Elderberry, like if you're mixing Elderberry syrup and raw, honey, the thing you got to think about is if you're using it the way I think you're using it. The the dose is probably very very small but raw honey is no joke. I mean one tablespoon is 16 grams of straight sugar, right? So that's this is the issue running to it's like somebody saying wine wine has Rivera Resveratrol. It's good for you. No, that's not correct. You're not correct. Stop saying that you need to drink about three hundred bottles of wine a day to get like even a miniscule dose of Resveratrol. So that's the tricky thing with raw. Honey is like Israel, honey. Good for you. Well that depends I mean cause for every tablespoon you take in you're getting 16 grams of sugar. So it depends on the rest of your diet if you have wholeheartedly like Stone Cold Clovis like doing really well and you're like, hey, I find that like a half T 1/2 tablespoon of honey, and you know, Spoon of MCT before bed helps me sleep. Okay, then you're looking at about 8 grams of sugar and that's it. Right? Okay, if it helps you sleep cool go for it. I have no problem with that. But the issue is when it's like I was wrong honey good for kids and then you're just making desserts with raw, honey and all the time and Adam raw honey to their food and they're eating carbohydrates at school all day. Anyway that you don't even see and you're just adding sugar sugar sugar sugar. So raw honey is a slippery slope. It's a sticky slope. See what I did there but really rouhani's a slippery slope because it's just it's so easy to just go overboard on sugar. It's ridiculous. So the risk versus reward the trade-off, right? What else we got? Wait, okay. So I see I'm confused by this guy's I'm not sure what you guys are talking about to make your own seat, like like syrup for like pancakes you talk about making syrup for pancakes because I'm probably not gonna be a fan of that because it's going to take require a ton of honey. And yeah, I don't know. I'm not sure. Is that what you're saying? I don't know. Maybe maybe you're talking about honey. And and honey is usually paired with ridiculously high carbohydrate Foods, even if it is like paleo pancakes or paleo waffles or whatever. So you're talking about like straight-up syrup syrup. That's probably not something I'm going to recommend to you for usual use, you know, Austin we know you eat pretty much the same foods every day care to share what a typical breakfast lunch and dinner looks like in Justin's world and what has changed during the mass gains protocol a ton has changed during mass gains. So again, I Of this is tricky. I will share this information with you. I actually have it written down because while I have a question written down somebody asked me about my grocery list, so I will share that with you. It's much different from Mass games. The biggest thing is I'm taking in very little fat right now. Probably 40% of my daily caloric intake is coming from fat and I'm taking in like over 20 percent of my daily intake is coming from carbohydrates and a boatload of protein a ton of protein right now with this Mass gains thing. So I'm not saying that's what You should do keep in mind even my day to day I take in less fat less dietary fat than I tell clients do because I have a genetic cholesterol defect right? So that's just me. I've tested my genetics. I've done the blood work. I've seen the best of Pathologists in the country. I understand how my body works. I know what skyrockets my LDL particle number. So I actually eat more protein than most of you do in terms of percentages of calories per day, right? So I eat a lot more protein than the average Joe usually quite low carbohydrate. Me 10% of my daily caloric intake is carbohydrate and fat usually somewhere around 50, maybe 55 percent of my daily caloric intake now Mass gains. That's completely different. I'm not going to tell you straight up Mass gains Maca ratios because this is a program that I'm going to sell but yeah things have changed for but all right. So let me walk you through a typical day not mass gains its Math Games is nuts. I've already eaten a pound of salmon. I've eaten a venison backstrap. I mean I've eaten so much food today. It's ridiculous multiple protein shakes. I've already happened. I've eaten scrambled eggs. I've eaten canned salmon. On top of the big fillet a salmon that I've had and I still have more food to eat when I get done with this live. So mass games whole different ballgame whole different ball game. But my average day is usually like five eggs usually about five eggs a day. So breakfast breakfast is usually paleo powder and coffee with some MCT oil and then I'll have like five eggs with sauerkraut bunch of kale frozen kale that I sought a so eggs kale sauerkraut and then maybe half an avocado. And then at some point I'm going to have grass fed ground beef for sure either grass-fed ground beef or venison ground venison. I'll eat grass fed beef and Venison and a boatload of broccoli usually full bag 10 to 12 ounces of broccoli in one sitting and I'll usually have more of that later. But again Austin remember like I know you in depth now because awesome as part of the Google Hangout last night, you don't want to do what I do, right? This is where it gets tricky is. I'm very boring. I'm very very boring. It's literally like the same thing every day. So here I actually wrote down most of the groceries that I buy so I could share with that person that asked me they were they said they were searching for my personal grocery list in the covid academy. So literally it's beef and venison. Those are Staples. I get past red Ray's eggs. I get wild caught salmon bunch of frozen veggies. That's everything from my veggies are always Frozen. That's everything from organic kale. Broccoli. Sweet potatoes. Now that I'm doing Mass gains Swiss chard, sometimes I get spinach sometimes I get beat. Sometimes I get Brussels spouts just a boatload of frozen vegetables. Is but then really the only things I buy our the egg salmon avocado oil I get avocados. I always get sauerkraut I guess some cans of wild. Tuna MCT oil I splurge on very expensive extra virgin olive oil. It's like 30 bucks a bottle super dark chocolate. Usually 95% Wicked dark chocolate from Tazza. Occasionally. I will get pecans walnuts or macadamia nuts, but that's just occasionally and I get coconut aminos. I put coconut aminos and sea salt on everything. That's literally like I have a subscription for coffee beans. I use paleo powder I buy raw cacao like Rob powdered cacao and I like add it to my paleo powder and coffee or sometimes I'll use a little bit of monk fruit and make like a little hot cocoa just with raw cacao powder and like a few drops of monk fruit. I mean, that's really it like like my entire life is literally beef venison eggs fish and vegetables. That's it. Like I'm not kidding. That's it. My sister wasn't alive video with us. One of them has a camera which one she's like. He literally it's the same for five foods every single day every single day. That's it. I mean sometimes the biggest the biggest changes I have are probably veggies. Sometimes it's Swiss chard. Sometimes it's kale. Sometimes it's broccoli. I'd like cauliflower. Sometimes I get multicolored cauliflower is really cool. I'll do Beats. But again, these are all Frozen just bagged and Frozen because it's super convenient when I get fresh produce. I let it go bad and Frozen produce produce is usually organic Frozen produce is fresher. Than the produce that you're getting in the produce section that's deemed fresh this thing. This stuff has been on a truck ship from whatever state it came from in the wide open air through multiple different climates as its passing through States over the past three weeks before you get your hands on the asparagus right think about it that way so everything I do is frozen. I'm super super boring. Super Warren what else we got? What kind of bacon do you like sugar free grass-fed? Well now you're getting confused because Bacon's not grab Bacon's generally speaking bacon is pork. Be pastured pork and you just want to get hormone-free non-GMO, you know, not not too great. I don't eat bacon every day. So I mean it's very very rare that I buy bacon and the reason I don't buy bacon because the pain in the ass to cook. I don't like dealing with the grease. I don't like stuff popping everywhere. I mean just bacon just seems I don't cook anything for myself to takes more than 10 minutes like from the time. I turned the stove on to plating the food. It's less than 10 minutes, right? Absolutely. So that's just the way I am with these things. I like to know about the pregnancy question you got yeah, I'm gonna get there. Don't worry. I'm going to answer all these questions syrup is inconsistency. Okay, I see we're talking about yes Health Serie the salivary thing was very confusing. Probably not the Elderberry guy to ask about this. What else we got? Why is soy lecithin in everything because it's an emulsifier. So you guys got to remember this is the thing right when I wear t-shirts right now. I got my Rocky t-shirt on that I love but um when I wear t-shirts like eat Whole Foods change the world. This is what I'm talking about. And this is why I tell you guys like all the convenience Foods in the snack foods and all those things in the approved foods list. That should be called an if you must category if you must this this should not be staple foods, right? It's like if you're on the go or you're traveling you're going on vacation or something take those things with you. If you need something for the kids you go on a picnic, whatever. I don't know. Whole Foods change the world this is what I mean by it you guys want the convenience of packaged products? There are certain prices that you have to pay to get packaged products. For example, my paleo powders I chose to use ground flax right ground flax is basically the emulsifier that I'm using. So what an emulsifier is like, let's say you were to put let's say paleo powder had no emulsifiers and you put a scoop of paleo powder and a cup of water and walked away and came back 20 minutes later. All the powder would be at the bottom and all the water would be at the top you You need an emulsifier literally for the chemistry of making a product and the mouthfeel and the texture and making it mixable soy lecithin is just a really really popular emulsifier. It's used in like dark chocolate and a ton of different stuff and it's not going to kill you. It's absolutely not going to kill you. Right? I know people freak out about this stuff. But like if you have a 88 percent dark chocolate bar and you're like, it's got soy lecithin I can't do it's not the end of the world. It's really not right. I would stick the approved chocolate brand. In the approved foods list, but yeah people kind of freaked out about this, but it's really when you're going for packaged food that comes in a package. You gotta pay a price to make these things happen, right? All right, what else we got? Thanks for sharing man. Great stuff. Yeah. I hope that helps that's that's literally like my full shopping list. And the beauty of it is that you literally just walk into the grocery store. There's no reason why on the busiest day in the store. It should take me more than 10 minutes in and out right? I know exactly where I'm going. I know exactly what I'm getting and that's it. Like the only things I buy is like sometimes I have to go down the aisle to get like like I'll go to Publix because they have coconut aminos off to go down the aisle two Coconut aminos and like I pass all sorts of bullshit on the way, right? I mean walk down the aisles these grocery stores. That's the thing. It's like so rare that I didn't go to a middle aisle of the grocery store as walk around the perimeter get the eggs get the Frozen produce get whatever I need right? It's super super easy. So that's that's about what I do again, Austin, you gotta be wary of the vegetables, right? So don't do exactly what I do. But um, yeah, it's different for everybody. What else we got microwave one minute per slice. Yeah bacon is a pain in the ass to me. I mean, sometimes I'll I'll get bacon for myself, but I don't know. It's I don't like the packaging the bacon comes in pisses me off. I really wish the bacon manufacturers would come up with a better packaging system for their bacon because it's annoying right entrepreneurs get on that come up with better packaging for bacon. Should we do resistant starch eat some cold rice? No, I mean, so here's the thing right Sally. You got to worry about your Mac. That's it. All you got to worry about is your Macros, right? This is like the where we the stopping and tweaker thing comes in. Don't worry about whatever Trend you read somewhere or saw somewhere or even one of my old am a as like am a number 9 I talk about the potato hack right where you can cook a potato and cool it down and it will be more resistant starch than it will be Nick carbohydrates and you can do that trick with white rice as well. You do not need that right now. Literally your the two rules right when you get your proof Foods. Yeah. I mean your custom plan for me to rules hit your Macros. Do it with approved foods list with food from the approved foods list. That's it. Those are your two rules hit your Macros do it with approved foods nice and easy. That's it. So don't worry. I mean a lot of people and again, I'm not saying that this is what you're doing. But sometimes what will happen is they're finding reasons. They're finding reasons to add carbohydrates. They're finding reasons to add white high glycemic carbohydrates. White rice is an absurdly high glycemic food, right? It's almost like Eating straight glucose. It's almost like eating straight sugar. Okay, so to give you guys an example, I utilize white rice while doing Mass gains while trying to gain as much body mass as possible right now. I'm not going to get into that. There's it's a super biohacking thing. I only do it a particular time of day. I only do it on certain days. There's a ton to this that I understand and it's all about glute activation and mtor, right? So I'm not going to get into glute transport activation and mtor with you guys on my muscle cells, right? But these are these are why I know how to do these things but you stay away from the stuff. Right? Really, I mean really if you if you came in to Clovis and the stuff I'm teaching you. You don't know like the back of your hand don't even worry about do I need resistant starch. Do I need this? Keep it super simple and Sally I'm saying this directly to you because you have a custom nutrition plan. If you were someone that I didn't know and I'm not working with who doesn't have a custom nutrition plan or anything like that. I might be able to say like, you know, it depends on what you're doing, but I'd really I'd probably say just get in and get a custom nutrition plan for me. Really the simpler the better. I don't overcomplicate things like just be Clovis as consistently as possible for as long as possible. That's what you need to do right now and then we'll talk about those things down the road. You know what I mean? So that's that's really what you want to be doing right now is just sticking to it what else we got wild caught Seafood. Yeah. Yeah, that's always talking about I get wild caught salmon and wild caught tuna. Tuna. Those are both Staples of my grocery shopping list. All right, so, let's see what else we got four questions over here. So let's go. Let's go to the pregnancy question. So the pregnancy question was specifically about a medication called Zofran. I think I'm saying it correctly which is basically for nausea morning sickness and all those things but it's it's quite dangerous particularly. If you look up the side effects of this stuff Zofran somebody can correct me if I'm wrong. I know that you can I believe it's a prescription medication. I'm not exactly sure right. I think it's prescription medication. When you're dealing with the sickness thing either would be morning sickness or nausea randomly. So let's say we're attacking morning sickness, like first and foremost. I'm going to tell people to take a really good digestive enzyme to get a really like the best digestive enzyme you can afford so like bio. Jess cream of the crop for me get by. Oh just by Thorn right but it's expensive. So if you can afford NOW Foods NOW Foods has a super enzymes product, which is also great much cheaper than Thorn. So now now A foods and ho W NOW Foods super enzymes another great product. Then you have something like an ox bile right Ox bile is super cheap and you can just get it on Amazon, right? That's probably the cheapest of the cheap as just to get straight up Ox bile. Then you have things like apple cider vinegar. You can pick up a big big thing of apple cider vinegar for 4 bucks at your local grocery store like the Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar with the mother and the mother do as much of this stuff as you need to write. Like if you're feeling sick. These are digestive issues issues that you're dealing with and a couple things that And kind of work these things up is like eating right before bed now generally speaking. I tell you guys it really doesn't matter when you eat if you're hitting your Macros and all that stuff. I'm not too worried about it. But remember so this is another thing when people are going to freak out there like what this is blasphemy, right? Maybe try lowering your fat intake. So for example, if you're used to eating 60% dietary fat and now you're pregnant and you're still eating 60% dietary fat and you're trying to hit macros or whatever or you're eating more food and you eat like a bunch of grass fed beef. Let's say at 8 p.m. And then you're asleep at 9:00 p.m. You're laying on your back fat as we know takes the longest to leave to empty the stomach. It takes the longest to digest it's basically the most amount of work for the digestive system. Now if you're a healthy person, that's totally cool. Right but the gallbladder click kicks in and the gallbladder regulates the concentration of the bile that's coming from the liver sprays it out to your stomach to help you digest those fatty acids. That's why when people don't have a gallbladder. We have to be careful about fatty acid digestion. So my advice to you is to help the digestive system as much as possible and then take the strain off the digestive system as much as possible. So I've kind of been pigeonholed into being this 6030 10 guys 60% fat 30% protein 10 percent net carbohydrates because that's what I did the perfect Paleo cookbook centered around. But remember this is advice for if I don't know the individual I'm making a blanket statement with nothing to go off of 60/30 10 is pretty good for the average person most of the time right but there are no blanket statements so If you're pregnant, you're dealing with this. I might even tell you like. Hey, let's let's cut your fat back to you know, maybe 50 percent of your daily intake of calories, maybe 45 percent. Maybe we up your carbohydrates that 20% 25% What did Justin just say to eat 25 percent of your daily calories from carbohydrates. Like if you're pregnant, I don't give a crap about weight loss. That's the opposite of what I'm looking for. I don't want a caloric deficit. I want a caloric Surplus. I don't care about you losing. Body fat, I don't care if you gain body fat write the number one priority here is the health of the fetus, right? So that's really what we're dealing with here. And we need to think about it from that regard. So again, there are no blanket statements if you're following like a 60 30 10 macro and you're feeling nauseous. Let's adjust that. If you start taking a bunch of digestive enzymes and you still feel nauseous. Let's adjust that. Right? We absolutely have to adjust so it's very very common that when you're not pregnant you'll be fine. Following an attrition protocol is very good for you. You get pregnant. This is a giant giant change giant change, right? We may have to change some things. You're literally not the same person you were before you were pregnant. This goes out the window, right? We have to tweak things. So I'll see this happen a lot with Clovis people where they I'll give an example, right? There's a there's a good little parable about a guy who falls into the white water rapids, right? He falls into Rapids and he's gonna drown he's gonna die, but he grabs a lob. Hold on to this log and he floats in the log and the log takes him through the white water rapids and he gets down gets through the Rapids he survives and all of a sudden he's floating out in a wide-open lake and he's floating on his log and he can see the shore and there's no Rapids. He just needs to swim to shore but he can't swim to shore with the log but his brain is not letting him let go of the law because the log saved his life. He loves the log. He doesn't want to let go of the log but to grow as a person too. Advance his life. He has to let go of this log. This is what I find all the time in Clovis and I tell you guys about it constantly and I say the stopping and weaker and I say that health is just a stepping stone. Right don't cling to things that have worked for you because they saved your life or like for most people Clovis is the most drastic life transformation they ever have ever so they're going to cling to that long. Well, I did search 6030 10 macros and it saved my life. I'm gonna keep doing this if you need to tweak you need to Right, if you're tweaking with me in particular, this is different from the stop being a tweaker episode and deciding for yourself two weeks in what you want to change. Like I'll get people that have been 60 30 10 macros following the same macros for a year and they're just like hey, I've kind of plateaued. I'm not sure what's going on. Like I don't like you. Yeah. I'm doing the same thing for a year. You want to change something cool. Hit me up. Like that's get some new macros. Let's tweak some things. Let's try some physical activity to try this out. The other thing right? Don't be afraid to let go of that log. Ugh particularly, if something really traumatizing to the body happens like becoming pregnant while you're on this nutrition plan, right? We're going to have to tweak things for sure. So the biggest pieces of advice I can give you let's cut back the fat intake maybe up increase the intake of a little bit of a complex carbohydrates again. I'm not a doctor. I'm not giving pregnancy advice for anybody. This is not medical advice right digestive enzymes with every meal at least apple cider vinegar. At least if you have no digestive enzymes do like 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar at every single meal. Don't need a bunch of fat before bed. Right so probably try to stop eating least a couple hours before bed. See if that changes anything. What else we got here? Do we chat with anyone if you sign up for the correct macro custom macros, you you talk to me directly. Yeah, Mike you've been you've been in these videos for like months dude by a plan. What are you doing bro? If you are like just work with me one-on-one. It's about as easy as it gets right. Like I know you're here all the time. So just by a plan go to I'm post.com start like chat with anyone. I'm the only guy at Clovis. It's only me you chat with me. That's the way this goes. Right? Is it custom attrition by from I make your plan. A hand with my Casio calculator. That's how this goes. Right. It's very difficult for scaling to scale a company is tough when you're the only one making plans. But yeah, the person you chat with is me. All right, what else we got? What non-toxic Pans Cookware do you recommend using other than cast iron? Skillets stainless steel really, um, it kind of sucks because they you gotta put like a bunch of oil and I'm it's really hard to make a nonstick. There's this other company that I've been talking to I can't even remember extrema. I think it is extremely Tre Ma I've been chatting with them behind the scenes because they were on the podcast of my really good friends over at paleo Valley with Autumn Smith. Very expensive cookware. It is ceramic cookware that seems to be super healthy and non-toxic. So the other thing to remember with cast iron, this isn't a huge problem for most women, but it's actually been a problem for me that I found my iron is through the roof. I'm supposed to donate blood at least once a quarter just to get because I have such iron levels and I cook exclusively on cast iron and I don't think that's a coincidence. It's just something that I haven't gotten around to changing but I cook on cast iron exclusively and I have been doing that for years. So it's like I don't think that that's a coincidence doesn't really bother me doesn't really scare me or anything. But I'd say ceramic cast iron stainless steel probably as safe as it gets anything that has nonstick built into it is chemicals. So you be careful with that. All right, what else we got going to see if I had any other questions? Oh, yes. Somebody asked me if I have a list it says do you have a list of approved products such as deodorant? Laundry detergent Etc. We are looking to lighten our toxin load and the answer is yes. Absolutely and that can be found at I am Clovis just go to I am Clovis.com and click on shop and click on ebooks and there is it's literally called the approved products ebook. The comment made me laugh is like you have a list of approved products. Like that's literally the name of it. It's just the approved products ebook and it's everything from defunding. No rent to laundry detergent to fabric softeners to I mean just everything and I am looking to update that and expand it so know that anytime you buy an e-book from me if there's an update or a change you get that download for free. So when you when you buy that specific ebook it's yours for life. And if Donna line I add 30 pages to it. You're just going to get an email that says hey there's an update to the e-book you bought click here to download the new version and you get the new version. So I recommend you should go on. I am Clovis and by every freakin ebook I have right Right. I think my ebooks are. Some of the most valuable content in terms of e-books I've ever seen particularly for the prices. Like I think my fasting the perfect the the perfect passing protocol is fantastic for any question you could ever have about fasting and the benefits of fasting and how to do it Go by that the approved products list is fantastic. I have two books written specifically just for children one is The Ultimate Guide to macros for kids how to feed your kids. This should be required reading for parents by the way, and then how to talk to your kids about weight if you have a little kid, that's obese or fat. Something like that how to talk to them about it, right? Because that's really tricky and then there's the perfect fat loss guide. There's the perfect passing protocol and obviously the perfect Paleo cookbook, which is amazing. I mean, I really would just go by the suite of Clovis ebooks and I mean literally change your life with these ebooks and any time I update them you're going to get downloads. If I add recipes to The cookbook. You're going to get a free download for that. You buy it once it's yours forever. Okay, and little hint if you go to I'm covid.com start and you sign up for a custom nutrition plan. An you're going to get a very special offer on that cookbook hint hint, right? So gotta I'm Clovis.com start get yourself a custom nutrition plan like Mike needs to with me. And once you sign up for that customer attrition plan, I'm gonna give you a super special deal on that. Perfect Paleo cookbook. So that's a great way to get your hands on that as well. So how we look in here which almost 9 p.m. Time flies everybody. I'm trying to think if there's any other okay, so there was one question from somebody that said, She just wanted to share her story with me. So she is a coach and she's on a meal plan. And she says she successfully lost 45 pounds in 4 months and kept it off for the last seven months. However, like every other program out there. There's this push to coach and Mentor someone and basically make a buck off them. I love sharing my transformation story, but I'm not a salesperson, right? So this is really interesting. I actually like that this person wrote to me because I see this all the time and some people ask me about the about Clovis when I launched. The ambassador program here's what I'll tell you if you're using the program at work, you lost 45 pounds in 4 months. Those are great results. You've kept it off for seven months. Those are great results, right? You don't have to be Clovis if you have something that's working really well for you stay there that said if the company is pushing you in a direction that you don't like and they're pissing me off tell them to fuck off. I mean really just like if the if you're going to be part of that program and they're just going to be breathing down your neck and telling you that you need to sell you need to sell you need to sell you need to sell leave. That's not a part of that's not an organization that I don't A part of right and I don't require that of Clovis. The ambassador program is completely optional. I don't push you guys to sell my have you don't want to don't period I don't care right? The only reason I did the ambassador program was to make the membership more affordable for you guys because you can make commission's off other members and then your fee each month will be less or will disappear altogether or you can make profit I did that for you, right? I don't care if you're an ambassador or not. So any program that tells you that you have to sell sell sell sell. I'd probably run for the hills and the other question that they had was so this person went on and said that she still has about 15 pounds to lose and said that her son is obese and she feels really horrible that our son is obesity. I'm sorry. This is a very very long question. So I'm paraphrasing so we handled the part about your current diet plan. You can take it or leave it right now. The sun is obese and she's saying that they are very low income. So they're asking how does Successfully transition into Clovis and then asked when is it appropriate to start exercising? So we take this as two points right how to transition into Clovis. So if you're worried about the cost of it, I want you to understand that the cost is a non-negotiable you have to be prepared to do that. The cost is beautiful for me because it weeds out the people who are not serious and I know that that sounds kind of rude or kind of mean or whatever but that really what it is. That's really what it is like a $27 a month membership. I know what gym membership fees are. I know what personal trainers cost Per session all these things right $27 a month. It's really just there as kind of a way for me to weed out people who aren't serious. That's it. Right. So if you're now the other thing is, I have a lot of content about grocery budgets and people thinking that eating healthy is too expensive. I want to be super clear about this eating healthy is not too expensive. It's simply a matter of allocating budget correctly. So people think that I'm gonna walk in and say you need to increase your grocery budget. That's not what's going to happen. I'm going to tell you to reallocate the funds. If you get rid of all the processed junk and I'm not saying like just chips and Doritos sure you gonna get rid of chips and Doritos and Oreos and all that stuff. You're also going to get rid of like milk and oatmeal and fruit and these things that you think are healthy foods that you're buying you're going to get rid of all of those. You're going to lower your grocery bill quite drastically, then you can reallocate those funds to Clovis approved foods. So I'm not actually making you spend more money. It's just that very few people are willing in the beginning. To just clean out their cupboards and throw away everything that is junk food. Well, I don't want to waste it. I don't want to waste it if it had a skull and crossbones on it and said toxic you'd have no problem throwing it away. That's what most of the food in your house is throw it away. Bring it to Goodwill if you want to write but then you're just poisoning homeless people. So get rid of that food. Stop buying the junk in your grocery bill will go down. That's the best way to transition money-wise now to touch on your kid your kid is obese. That's priority number one numero. You know, I don't care if you have to eat like crap to get the kids weight under control. I don't care that kid comes first period I catch a lot of flack for this. I get a lot of heat on line. It's why I've sort of taken a backseat to the childhood nutrition thing because I am very hard on parents. I look parents dead in the face and I say, you know better now you've met me you've consumed my content, you know how to feed your kid. If you are contributing to the kids obesity at this point that's straight-up child abuse and I wish that that would be handled this child abuse. I really do that's my take on it. I'm super super firm on this. I don't care. I don't care who thinks. I'm a jerk because of it. It's genuinely I'm just like I your little kid deserves the best period your kid deserves the best your kid deserves to be happy your kid deserves to live a long Healthy Life free of chronic disease. So you need to do whatever is in your power to handle this obesity problem in your child. That's priority number one, right? So people come to me and they're little kids obese like that's priority number one. Don't really care about your goals right now. Sorry, let me talk to the little guy. Right let me talk this little dude and it is your responsibility to get all of the junk out of the house 100% 100% get rid of it. That's it. It's is a non-negotiable right? It's not fair that your kids going to have a crappy life going forward because he's not in charge of what goes in his mouth, right? He doesn't walk to the grocery store with his own credit card and buy the groceries, right? So it's just that's priority number one. So transition to Clovis. It's just simply an idea of reallocating funds to what's really a important and then the childhood obesity thing that's priority number one and I can absolutely absolutely absolutely help you with that just be aware. Like I'm doing this from a place of love. I promise you I care a lot about childhood nutrition, but I know that I'm very hard to work with if you want me to work with you and your kids I do not accept excuses. I don't accept excuses period when it comes to Childhood nutrition, that's all there is to it, right? So that's my thoughts on that. Hello. I want to get the fasting book.
