Tom I would look into magnesium and potassium. There are four main electrolytes in the body sodium calcium potassium and magnesium Sodium and calcium excite and make muscles contract Potassium and magnesium make muscles relax The problem is that calcium and sodium is in everything but potassium and magnesium is not. So look into it, my depression and anxiety went away after supplementing. Sleep like a baby and could even sleep 10 hours. You have to make sure they are both high quality and absorbable forms. Start with low dosage. Like 50mg potassium and 200mg magnesium. When you live a very stressful life you burn right through magnesium. Your magnesium serum has got to be depleted. Please, please! Look into it it changed my life.

00:14 🍹 Alcohol, sugar, and weed can hinder success for many: while a few succeed despite indulging, countless become too inefficient due to these habits, leading to patterns of mediocrity. 01:12 🧠 Dopamine absence breeds addiction: Dopamine deficiency is a key factor in addiction, like the reward from eating sugar that triggers addiction, highlighting the role of dopamine in behavior. 02:07 🎮 Addiction tendencies shift: Addictions change forms due to the underlying dopamine deficiency, showing that the behavior persists despite curing the physical addiction. 03:42 💡 Habitual behaviors impact life quality: Actions that soften life's quality should be identified, irrespective of whether they meet the classic addiction definition, aiming to help people improve. 04:51 🚀 Commitment to success demands sacrifice: Extraordinary achievements often necessitate sacrificing habits like regular partying or substance use to focus on skill acquisition and growth. 07:36 💥 Vices' impact on mental and metabolic health: Commonly accepted vices, like drinking or weed, can adversely affect mental fitness, oxygen transportation, and mitochondrial health. 08:59 🧬 Elevated emotional states and oxygen: Elevated emotional states, linked to oxygen in their molecular structure, depend on oxidative states, impacting how individuals experience joy or arousal. 11:43 🤔 Physiology's role in emotional states: Emotional states, especially anxiety, often root in physiology, like issues with neurotransmitter production, emphasizing the biological basis of these states. 14:14 🧠 Brain's response to altering neurochemistry: Human behavior, including indulging in various activities, stems from a desire to modulate neurochemistry, influencing emotional experiences. 17:39 🧩 Anxiety's link to physiology: Anxiety can often trace back to genetic mutations affecting neurotransmitters like serotonin, emphasizing the importance of addressing physiological roots over coping mechanisms. 19:02 🦈 Catacolamines and anxiety response: Anxiety triggers the release of catacolamines, fight or flight neurotransmitters, showcasing how thoughts influence physiological responses, even when not in a threat situation. 20:24 🧠 Physiological responses to imagined threats mirror real threats due to the same physiological root, triggering a dump of catacolamines into the brain. 21:31 🧬 Genetic mutation (compt CT) can impair catacolamine regulation in about 35% of the population, potentially causing slow breakdown and triggering anxiety. 23:40 🥦 Proper supplementation with B vitamins from natural sources like green leafy veggies and grass-fed meats aids in downregulating catacolamines, impacting anxiety incidence. 24:49 💡 A few key lifestyle factors have significant impacts: sleep control, sunlight exposure, and managing sugar intake/blood glucose levels. 28:01 🍬 Sugar's pervasivepresence in modern foods contributes to various health issues, including mental and psychiatric illnesses, linking to conditions like Alzheimer's and blood sugar disorders. 31:28 🔄 Understanding the trade-offs in everything consumed or avoided, recognizing the impact on physiology, aids in optimizing health. 33:05 💊 The body needs nutrients in refined, usable forms (methylation) from consumed substances, emphasizing the importance of supplementing for deficiencies. 34:01 💡 Most common health conditions might not be purely genetically inherited but potentially due to deficiencies in specific nutrients, impacting methylation processes. 39:18 🌿 Using methylated multivitamins and supplementing for known deficiencies can result in significant health improvements by providing essential raw materials for bodily functions. 41:38 🌟 Nutrient deficiencies like B vitamins can lead to anxiety, gut issues, and sleep problems. 42:20 💡 Addressing chronic conditions often requires understanding individual nutrient processing differences. 43:02 🌞 Vitamin D3 deficiency impacts the immune system, potentially increasing vulnerability to diseases like COVID-19. 44:13 🧬 Genetic testing helps identify essential nutrients the body needs for optimal function. 44:55 🍃 Folic acid, a synthetic compound, isn't naturally occurring and may not be necessary for optimal health. 45:37 💊 While cautious about supplements due to isolated compounds, considering methylated multivitamins might be beneficial. 47:41 🌿 Natural alternatives like berberine might perform as well as metformin for diabetes without significant side effects. 48:09 🛡 Genetic testing helps determine safe supplementation levels for water and fat-soluble vitamins. 51:09 🛌 Establishing a disciplined morning routine and consistent sleep schedule significantly aids in quality sleep. 53:25 🌅 Exposure to morning sunlight within 30 minutes of waking helps regulate circadian rhythms. 54:49 🌬 Adopting specific breathwork routines aids in circadian rhythm control and promotes relaxation at night. 01:00:07 🍽 Adapting eating schedules during travel to align with local time zones is crucial for circadian adjustment. 01:02:10 🌞 Exposure to sunlight early in the day, even in different time zones, helps reset the body clock faster than adjusting eating schedules. 01:03:23 🍽 Prioritizing sun exposure over meal timing for circadian rhythms; digestion diverts blood and oxygen from the brain, affecting energy levels. 01:05:03 🛫 Fasting during domestic flights helps maintain energy levels; diverting oxygen from the brain to digestion during flights can exhaust the body. 01:06:26 🕰 For faster adjustment to new time zones, avoid eating during your normal sleep window in the first 48 hours while also getting sunlight exposure. 01:08:43 🍽 Following intermittent fasting, with eating windows from morning till early afternoon, coupled with sun exposure before eating, can aid in adapting to new time zones. 01:09:48 🧬 Addressing genetic factors, like the CT gene mutation, for anxiety and sleep quality through personalized supplements, potentially regulating catacolamine levels. 01:11:23 📈 Establishing achievable, small, daily goals to build self-trust and discipline forms a foundation for consistency and success. 01:21:43 🧠 Nutrition significantly impacts mental function, memory, and emotional state, influencing the memories we recall and the ones projected into our consciousness. 01:22:10 🧭 Emotional state determines future outcomes; controlling emotions starts with proper raw materials and physiology in the body. 01:23:07 🚀 Mastering emotional control is crucial for steering your future; it begins with the right body physiology to experience the full spectrum of emotions. 01:24:15 🏋‍♂ Prioritize optimizing your biology for energy and persistence in pursuing goals; energy levels depend on cellular capacity to generate energy (ATP). 01:25:26 🧬 The mind's functionality, mood shifts, and hyperactivity disorders relate to the rate of neurotransmitter breakdown, affected by nutrient deficiencies. 01:27:32 🧩 ADHD and ADD might not be attention deficits but rather attention overload disorders, where too many thoughts pile up due to slow breakdown of neurotransmitters. 01:32:06 🦁 Some individuals require high stakes or external pressure to focus, indicating challenges in setting internal priorities or handling equal weight given to all thoughts. 01:34:27 🧠 Cluttered minds might seek external organization (OCD), reflecting an attempt to control chaos internally; clean minds aren't as bothered by external disorder. 01:37:12 🧪 Depression's root cause may tie to nutrient deficiencies affecting neurotransmitter production in the gut-brain axis; mental conditions often stem from physiological imbalances. 01:41:44 🧠 Depression can be linked to nutrient deficiencies like methylation issues. Certain deficiencies in nutrients like SAM-e, B complex, and methylfolate correlate with higher rates of depression. 01:43:19 🍏 Ancestral diets contained nutrients like SAM-e, B complex, and methylfolate found in fruits, cruciferous vegetables, grass-fed meats, fish, chicken, eggs, and dairy. Modern diets lack these nutrients due to processing and use of preservatives. 01:44:58 🍰 High sugar intake contributes to higher blood fat levels and weight gain. Sugar raises insulin levels, inhibiting fatty acid pathway access, leading to fat buildup and potential cardiovascular risks. 01:46:44 🏥 Triglyceride levels affect cholesterol size and risk. Elevated triglycerides with high insulin increase the danger of cholesterol by reducing its size, making it more risky for cardiovascular health. 01:53:09 📊 LDL cholesterol alone doesn't determine cardiovascular risk. Its correlation with triglyceride levels impacts mortality rates. Low triglyceride with slightly elevated LDL is linked to longevity. 01:57:43 🎲 Using statistical models to predict life expectancy isn't a definitive forecast. It's a statistical proxy based on risk factors and population data, providing insights but not individual certainties.

[@maureengoodman8276]

When Gary said to maintain elevated emotional states you need more oxygen which is why anger, fear, etc are easier to experience because many people have less oxygen....that hit the nail on the head for me. Breathwork seems to be the answer!!

[@kingspring22]

[@mnetzer6777]

Interesting point. Wim Hof!!

[@OrasSelection]

Oh how deep breathing bringing Higher More Oxygen into your lungs/body works. Me for example - High Cortisol (the fight or flight hormone) raises Glucose. I'm Type 1 Diabetic - couldn't figure out why Glucose is high in the a.m. without eating. Answer Cortisol High. So I started deep breathing to lower Cortisol/Insulin. IT WORKS. Breathe Deep.

@@randombutrelevantI completely understand trying to ask the right questions to understand things but in a lot of ways, it felt like Tom was trying to correct Gary and undermine his expertise at times. I think some podcasters are starting to notice their audiences enjoy a bit of argumentative banter and it gets more views and comments, so I guess it’s possible it was purposeful but it seemed more like Tom was just being himself and had some biases and preconceived notions about Gary that he didn’t expect Gary to so easily overcome.

Watch Diary of a CEO, he's way better.

[@Maartimer]

Tbf Tom is right in this case. There is no evidence that synthetic mRNA doesn't get broken down by the body. The body deals with new mRNA and other unique proteins literally all the time. "Synthetic" doesn't automatically mean "body can't break it down", even if it's the case for specific things like plastics, that are designed specifically to have high longevity.

44:50 - Spoiler alert : Not saying this info is not valuable, but you've heard it all from Wim Hof, Andrew Huberman and others. It's all about ordering Gary's genetic test and supplements. The stuff he expands liberally on is all the stuff he cannot charge for : sunlight, breathwork, earthing. Gary says early on that he is all about whole foods over supplementation, yet he seems almost conscientiously to toss out chemistry terminology - words you are expected not to understand - Don't want to jump to conclusions, but every example focuses on supplementation of *specific molecules*. But wait - I thought he were all about whole foods and BASIC supplementation??!? Tom jumps in and mentions how he does NOT supplement - he favors FOOD - but concedes he did try a methylated multi after hearing about it from Gary. EVEN HERE, Gary dodges expanding that conversation. Plus he keeps coming back to genetic testing to see how you are deficient. My sense at 49:00 was this is probably all circling around to selling a genetic test and maybe custom supplementation - in stark contrast to the purported focus on whole foods. Then, I google the guy and go to his website/s. OMG!!!! Genetic Tests and custom supplementation! By 1:09:00 it had settled into the expected pattern : whatever Tom talks about, Gary's going to circle it back to needing a gene test. This is where I stopped the video. And this kind of sums it up. The useful information in this entire video could easily be a 3 minute tiktok.

He is inferring you dont inherit genes that make you susceptible to disease. Science, however, says otherwise. He stated that he cannot name any gene responsible for inherited high cholesterol susceptibility. A simple search will reveal reality though: "Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) can be caused by inherited changes (mutations) in the LDLR, APOB, and PCSK9 genes, which affect how your body regulates and removes cholesterol from your blood."

Nothing helped my lifelong anxiety more than healing my gut, quitting ultra processed foods + most grains, and getting more sleep. Testing my blood sugar daily was a game changer, as well. I had no idea how insulin resistant I truly was. I've been a batefoot weirdo my whole life, so that wasn't what was missing. I've believed I have MTHFR for many years, but haven't ever done the expensive testing to comfirm. Being a redhead, I already know I def have odd genetics. 😅 Unfortunately, folic acid is in nearly everything that comes from a package. I think this contributes to the huge change people experience when they cut ultra processed foods. Not only are they avoiding the seed oils, sugars, and soy, but they're no longer constantly taking in folic acid.

Why do you have intelligent people on and make the show all about you? Let them talk. We do not care what you think. My suggestion would be to go for lunch first and tell him about your problems and then have the interview. That is what Joe Rogen does. To prove my point, just record your next doctors appointment and see how many people watch it. I feel so bad for Gary, All the ting he wanted to say and you didn't let him talk.

I am fascinated by these inputs. Thanks to you Tom for your dedication helping us gaining knowledge. These insights are so simple and logical yet so many of us do not spend time thinking healthy. I got rid a lot of health issues via proper supplements combined with proper nutrition and regular physical activities. The far i can remember i had a plan for each. However, since a while i stopped keeping record of them and seem to have moved back to default, which caused my former heath issues. Hence, i just understood why I see some of those issues to be present be back and some new to raise. While listening to your conversion just checked on how to choosing vitamins, best time to take them and discovered i am doing it wrong. I will get back to my old plan and start paying attention to what i eat, who frequently i eat and for what purpose do i eat!

[@elliotthelms4206]

Sugar is a naturally occurring compound that the body makes. We have adapted over millions of years to 1. Store sugar in our muscles and liver in the form of glycogen for use and 2. Developed taste buds and cravings for sugar because it is biologically necessary. Its so necessary that your own body will shred it's own proteins in the form of muscles, connective tissue and even organs to make glucose for your blood and Brain. Please please stop with sugar demonization. We already found out salt and cholesterol and saturated fats were demonized too by poor science.

[@andrewbullman5206]

Check out durianrider if you don't know him already

[@danielnaberhaus5337]

The difference is our ancestors, going back to apes, expended a lot of enegery before and after eating that sugar which mitigates the insulin spike because the sugar is rapidly absorbed by the muscles. Think of a monkey climbing up and down a tree to eat the fruit, can you imagine how hard it would be for you to do that? It's a massive calorie expdenditure.

[@elliotthelms4206]

@@danielnaberhaus5337 that's why it's good to combine macronutrients together. It slows absorption into the blood. And you can go on a walk after eating. It helps shuttle glycogen to the muscles. Stan Efferding talks about it

[@danielnaberhaus5337]

Totally, adding coconut or any fat to a smoothie really slows down the sugar spike. Ice cream has a lower glycimic index than a mango.

[@normbuddy55]

You are so wrong. You are talking about glucose, not sugar. Sugar is made up of one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose. We don't need to eat glucose since our body can make it. But fructose is a poison. It creates fatty liver and reduce our energy production by inhibiting 3 enzymes needed by our mitochondria. Look up Robert Lustig for more about that.

I can agree about sugar and alcohol, but after discovering weed at the age of 40 I found that I enjoy my life a lot more.Since I was never happy before it makes it pretty important to me. I have more patients with people, I actually achieve more I am far more creative at problem solving and have a longer attention span to finish projects. Weed might not be for everyone but If you never tried it you have no right to dis it. I have experimentally quit it for months on end several times to compare life's benefits with or without it. I love it and I will be a closet stoner for life.
