Key Moments
Walk is my favorite way to exercise
Walk is my favorite way to exercise. I have a wood-burning barrel sauna from a company called Redwood Outdoors.
"That said, at my previous property, I tried an electric sauna from that same company and I hated it. It wasn't the same sweat that I get from the wood burning sauna. I don't care about the EMF aspect of it, but I just felt like I had a deeper sweat with the actual wood fire. And it was nice to see the light, especially as it's dusk and the sun's down. It's a really enjoyable experience."
I love eating apples this time of year
I love eating apples this time of year. Incredible source of pectin, which is a soluble fiber. The main three things to supplement is magnesium, zinc, and shilajit.
"human hair. They found that supplementation with magnesium had a statistically significant decrease in concentrations of lead and cadmium. Magnesium also competes with aluminum. And this was actually oral magnesium chloride, which is something that I wouldn't supplement regularly orally unless I was really on a budget. I prefer to have that topically."
The one that I sell comes from Russia
And now Shilajit, fulvic acid and humic acid have been used by farmers to mitigate metal toxicity in soil, whether it's molybdenum or cadmium, and it does the same thing in our body.
"any company that they can find and they're not doing their research and maybe they fake the lab report. There are a lot of issues even with these high-end supplement companies where you can have heavy metal contamination. So it's really important to do your research on the brand and really trust the brand that you're taking because it could be a huge source of your heavy metal intake is through your Shilajit supplement if it's a bad source."
So each tablet is 200 milligrams and I take five tablets
and that's one gram. So each tablet is 200 milligrams and I take five tablets. A really interesting one is melatonin.
"It's also been shown to protect against chromium, aluminum toxicity. And what a lot of these studies found is that it was inhibiting their formation of cancer and protecting from DNA damage. So that is a supplement that I take every single night, 200 milligrams, which shocks a lot of people. I recently did a podcast on why high-dose melatonin, if you want to listen to that, that is episode..."
