02:05.010 --> 02:09.190 Well, well, you know, well, no, no, definitely not. 02:09.470 --> 02:13.530 I, um, I went total straight edge from like October of last year until 02:14.050 --> 02:15.410 maybe like a couple of months ago. 02:16.110 --> 02:17.810 Um, you know, I was doing blood work. 02:17.990 --> 02:22.070 I'm always trying to like get stuff to be more ideal or like fix little things. 02:22.330 --> 02:25.550 And I was trying to solve something called high ferritin, which is like 02:25.550 --> 02:26.670 in high iron content. 02:26.990 --> 02:29.750 And I was trying to figure out if it was really high iron content or if it 02:29.750 --> 02:30.490 was some other problem. 02:30.830 --> 02:35.270 So like to try and like eliminate every cause, you know, systematically, I quit 02:35.270 --> 02:37.450 drinking for like six or nine months or something. 02:38.090 --> 02:41.670 Um, but no, I started, I started having, you know, like a few days on the weekend. 02:42.310 --> 02:44.510 Did that, was that fix your problem or no? 02:44.970 --> 02:46.610 No, no, I still had high ferritin. 02:46.730 --> 02:48.150 It turned out to be a high iron thing. 02:48.490 --> 02:52.150 I think it's like about 10% of the population has like the natural propensity 02:52.150 --> 02:54.810 just to grab as much iron as it can and hang on to it. 02:55.070 --> 02:57.350 So you basically have to donate blood to get that down. 02:58.950 --> 02:59.930 Oh, yeah, yeah. 02:59.930 --> 03:00.130 Okay. 03:00.190 --> 03:00.710 I have heard that. 03:00.790 --> 03:00.970 Yeah. 03:01.070 --> 03:04.570 I've never, I've never gone down the, you know, starting to just 03:04.570 --> 03:09.010 test my blood on a regular basis and, you know, look, that's just a rat. 03:09.130 --> 03:13.110 I mean, that could become a real time sink, right. 03:13.270 --> 03:17.110 And then it's like, and you don't really, there's always something. 03:17.350 --> 03:20.990 And I feel like psychologically it starts to psych you out a little bit. 03:21.470 --> 03:26.310 My, my, my thinking is what, no matter what my blood is saying or anything, 03:26.310 --> 03:30.830 I'm going to be doing ultimately the same things anyway to try to fix it, right? 03:31.230 --> 03:33.650 Which is eat organic foods, right? 03:33.850 --> 03:39.090 Whole organic foods, meats, whatever, good pasture raised eggs, things like that. 03:39.330 --> 03:41.630 I'm going to try to sleep my eight hours. 03:42.050 --> 03:45.910 I'm going to try to, you know, get, get enough sunshine and try to exercise. 03:46.270 --> 03:49.670 Like no matter what my ailment is, I'm going to try to do the same 03:49.670 --> 03:50.790 things to fix it anyway. 03:51.030 --> 03:51.630 That's, I don't know. 03:51.710 --> 03:53.110 Is that that's, that's my take. 03:53.110 --> 03:56.710 And then that allows me to, to not worry about the, you know, 03:58.070 --> 04:03.770 trying to whatever to monitor my, my, my body, rather just focus on 04:03.770 --> 04:07.110 what the fixes are anyway, which is, it's, it's, it's the same things. 04:07.310 --> 04:11.070 We, we, you know, there's, there's no, there's no super hidden secret, right? 04:11.550 --> 04:11.850 I don't know. 04:12.070 --> 04:15.410 Um, I, that's kind of like the 80% solution. 04:15.650 --> 04:18.990 Like 100% for the vast majority of people just doing those things 04:18.990 --> 04:22.170 is going to get you a really long way, especially if you're say under 40. 04:23.110 --> 04:25.850 You can basically just do that and have a pretty good result. 04:26.810 --> 04:29.750 The problem is that, like, there are, there's these little things 04:29.750 --> 04:33.890 that everyone, like that individuals have and they, they start to compound over time. 04:34.350 --> 04:37.930 Like, so for example, this high ferritin thing, this, this high iron content, 04:38.310 --> 04:39.510 you won't really notice it. 04:39.570 --> 04:41.970 It'll slowly creep up over time, especially if you're like me 04:41.970 --> 04:43.470 and you eat just like a shitload of red meat. 04:43.630 --> 04:46.650 Like I ate probably a kilogram of, of red meat every day. 04:47.510 --> 04:51.030 You know, but since my body has your iron, well, 04:53.170 --> 04:55.990 your iron, like your body should be able to regulate that well, 04:55.990 --> 04:58.710 but about 10% of the population doesn't regulate that. 04:58.730 --> 05:00.570 You just hang on to as much iron as you can. 05:01.050 --> 05:05.910 So if I test it and I know that my ferritin is like double what the, 05:05.910 --> 05:10.010 the maximum recommended, you know, level is, then I know, like, oh, I know, 05:10.030 --> 05:10.830 I need to go give blood. 05:10.930 --> 05:12.270 I need to get this iron content down. 05:12.390 --> 05:14.890 And I've actually, I've been able to see it in my blood work 05:14.890 --> 05:16.670 and my numbers as I've gotten that down. 05:17.270 --> 05:21.610 It like high ferritin is correlated with all sorts of like all cause mortality. 05:21.610 --> 05:24.090 I mean, you're talking heart disease, cancer, insulin resistance, 05:24.810 --> 05:26.190 the full, the full gambit. 05:26.390 --> 05:28.570 Now I didn't have like heart disease, insulin resistance, 05:28.570 --> 05:31.970 but you know, my fasting insulin levels were higher than I thought 05:31.970 --> 05:35.070 where they should be, you know, for a guy that's relatively healthy 05:35.070 --> 05:37.550 and works out and all that is like, wait, why is my insulin slightly high? 05:38.110 --> 05:39.670 It should be at the low end of the range. 05:40.290 --> 05:42.230 You know, not, not, not a few points above. 05:42.590 --> 05:46.010 So anyways, I've been able to see all of that start to come back into range. 05:46.130 --> 05:50.050 Even things like your free testosterone can be affected by high ferritin. 05:50.050 --> 05:54.830 So just in general, my thinking is that as you start to approach 40, 05:55.030 --> 05:57.810 you really want to want to get a blood test at least once a year 05:57.810 --> 06:00.250 because there could be little things that you're not aware of. 06:00.270 --> 06:03.350 Maybe you're exposed to some environmental toxin that you weren't aware of. 06:03.570 --> 06:06.370 Maybe you have a high sensitivity to like one particular thing. 06:07.050 --> 06:10.230 And you just, in a lot of cases, like you won't know unless you measure. 06:10.390 --> 06:12.110 So you don't want to psych yourself out about it. 06:12.150 --> 06:15.150 But I do think that it's valuable to get your blood work done. 06:17.150 --> 06:19.750 Yeah. No, I can't disagree with you there. 06:19.750 --> 06:23.510 It's just, yeah, it's the same reason I don't follow the price charts. 06:23.890 --> 06:26.410 You know, it's just like I just got my head down. 06:26.790 --> 06:30.430 Foggy, like, I don't think it would, yeah, I guess if I, if I saw some weird 06:30.430 --> 06:32.970 and I'll like, obviously if I had like high mercury, right? 06:33.090 --> 06:36.230 They're like, oh, shit, but shouldn't need as much fricking tuna 06:37.990 --> 06:38.810 for body tip. 06:38.870 --> 06:41.070 He said, dude, don't worry about your high iron thing. 06:41.210 --> 06:43.350 You live in Mexico, which is high altitude. 06:43.350 --> 06:45.390 So your body needs the iron to get more oxygen. 06:45.630 --> 06:46.710 All right. It's interesting. 06:46.710 --> 06:50.710 I mean, that's definitely a question about like hemoglobin, for example. 06:51.010 --> 06:52.250 Right. So you're at high altitudes. 06:52.350 --> 06:54.850 Your body's going to want to have more hemoglobin to deliver more oxygen. 06:56.470 --> 06:59.150 Yeah. I mean, when I say high iron, I don't mean like I'm on the high 06:59.150 --> 07:02.450 end of the range. I mean, I'm like, well, holy shit, you're on the 07:02.450 --> 07:04.510 border of recommended to go see a specialist. 07:05.330 --> 07:05.970 And it's interesting. 07:06.490 --> 07:07.950 So you said you did fix it though. 07:07.990 --> 07:09.550 So what were the tweaks you made to fix it? 07:10.090 --> 07:12.350 Well, I kind of did some experimentation, but the primary 07:12.350 --> 07:15.750 thing you can do is donate blood, like for the vast majority 07:15.750 --> 07:18.150 of people, if you donate blood two or three times a year, like 07:18.150 --> 07:20.650 anyone that has high ferritin, if you do two, three times a year 07:20.650 --> 07:23.150 over the years, you'll come down, you'll get back into range, 07:23.210 --> 07:23.650 you'll be fine. 07:24.310 --> 07:27.610 I was trying to experiment with sauna to see if I could lower it 07:27.610 --> 07:28.570 without donating blood. 07:28.710 --> 07:31.330 So like I donated blood a couple of times, my hemoglobin 07:31.330 --> 07:33.750 bounced back in a week, which is like a classic sign that you 07:33.750 --> 07:34.350 have a lot of iron. 07:35.330 --> 07:37.650 And, you know, my ferritin came down a little bit, right? 07:37.750 --> 07:39.530 It's like each blood donation is a little bit. 07:39.890 --> 07:41.450 So then I said, OK, cool, it is iron. 07:41.550 --> 07:44.250 I started doing a sauna to try and see if that would maybe 07:44.250 --> 07:47.050 like if I could if I could like get rid of the iron that way 07:47.050 --> 07:49.410 because saunas, it's known for getting rid of heavy metal stuff 07:49.410 --> 07:49.830 like that. 07:50.210 --> 07:53.150 Anyways, yeah, that works kind of for a while and then it stopped 07:53.150 --> 07:53.470 working. 07:53.630 --> 07:56.130 So now I'm kind of doing the blood donations again. 07:56.310 --> 07:57.850 I should be there in about a month or two. 07:58.890 --> 08:02.010 You're really not supposed to donate, you know, more than 08:02.010 --> 08:03.450 once every like six to eight weeks. 08:03.830 --> 08:08.110 But for ferritin content at my level, they will actually 08:08.110 --> 08:11.350 prescribe phlebotomy like once a week or once every two 08:11.350 --> 08:13.370 weeks until you get down to where you should be. 08:13.370 --> 08:15.770 So yeah, you just have to monitor your hemoglobin. 08:15.790 --> 08:18.330 You're meant to be, you know, like a freaking warrior out 08:18.330 --> 08:19.490 there fighting every day. 08:20.110 --> 08:21.250 Yeah, I guess that's in my blood. 08:21.510 --> 08:23.130 Maybe I need to go lead some more. 08:23.250 --> 08:23.810 I don't know. 08:24.070 --> 08:26.770 You got to go like wrestle animals and try to kill them 08:26.770 --> 08:28.430 with your bare hands and then eat them. 08:28.690 --> 08:29.650 Like, that's the problem. 08:29.790 --> 08:30.690 You're just eating the steak. 08:30.870 --> 08:34.050 You're not, you know, you're not wrangling wrestling 08:34.050 --> 08:34.690 a wolf. 08:35.310 --> 08:36.610 I think that is kind of my thing. 08:36.950 --> 08:37.930 You're not spilling enough blood. 08:38.110 --> 08:41.150 You know, it could be it really could be an adaptation 08:41.150 --> 08:44.130 for immediate term survival, midterm survival. 08:44.410 --> 08:46.690 Oh, shit.
