testosterone stayed right in the upper end of the range cuz we're we're doing trt um hormone replacement therapy not not a huge deal there I'm sorry what does he mean it not a huge deal in capacity that since it's good we're good or does he mean like trt is not a big deal cuz it's aing huge deal and I suspect that the trt has probably a lot to do with um Dana White's [Music] transformation hey folks Dr Mike here for RP strength I've been a professor of sport and exercise science for some time I'm a
competitive bodybuilder and Brazilian Jitsu Grappler with a brown Bel interestingly enough in Brazilian jiu-jitsu from Josh Fogle at the Jiu-Jitsu Company in Philadelphia Pennsylvania today I am reviewing a video about some training and some diet and some recovery supplement stuff from the everpresent Mis Dana White the president of the UFC I believe and a guy who really just helped put MMA on the map like kind of no one else he is entitled to my ever reaching constant Mega respect and the following will be either attempts at helpful yet comedic criticism uh or attempts at teaching
some good principles and uh all for the laws so no offense taken Mr Dana White If You by some chance step down from your Ivory Tower to actually notice that I made a video about you and if so hello um no offense all jokes all good all me with respect now that we've said that to the tapes I will never go to a doctor ever again about my General Health all they want to do is put you on pills H so there's something there a lot of doctors won't spend the time with you to address
lifestyle factors some of them might be like yeah exercise eat healthy but here's the proximate problem that you have here are some pills for it that's not all doctors so the I'll never see a doctor again for my General Health is maybe a bit much and I'll tell you why doctors put people on pills and it's a two factor three Factor reason maybe one factor is that doctors just want you out of their office so they can see the next patient for more money doesn't happen nearly as much as people would have you suspect but
for some doctors it's definitely a concern and it's icky and it's not great there are two other major factors one is that pills work and they work really well and they're evidencebased research backed and they also work right away if you have high blood pressure taking blood pressure medication makes it go away tomorrow if you have high blood pressure but you try to diet and exercise and lose weight out of it it will work but in months and years and it assumes you're successful the success of blood pressure medications begins and ends at you taking
the pill out of the container putting it in your mouth so drugs are way faster way to get some immediate effect and lifestyle changes have a two-part problem one part is they're delayed not a big deal we can wait the other part is they require a lot of intense effort and focus and consistency one of the dark sides why a lot of doctors don't spend a lot of time on lifestyle intervention is because they're not really trained in school to know a lot about the RP hypertrophy app there is no avoiding hard training if you
want to grow but if you want to grow the most your training needs to be hard and smart RP hypertrophy app will make sure you're progressing on track monitoring and adjusting your workout at all times so for all that work you're doing you can be sure you're getting the best [Music] results so doctors want to get you on pills so you just don't croak approximately and then they hopefully pray that you get your life together but you to go to a doctor because you're an ill health and so kind of to Dana White's Point your
General Health when you're not sick approximately and you need help now should be something you handled pretty much with good sleep good training good recovery and good eating and a lot of physical activity and the thing is most people don't do that and then they come to the doctor and the doctor's like well you're in really bad Health here's some pills and by the way dieted exercise you already walked out the door so that's kind of how it happens it's not really a thing that doctors are just doing because they're evil or they're missing it
like crazy there's an understanding from some of the folks that do this kind of Lifestyle medicine that everyone that comes into your door as a patient could be someone whose life you change by introducing them to all sorts of interventions that take a lot of their time and effort generally people that believe that have not worked sufficiently in the general population to understand that most people just won't do it and so saying that you should do it to the one out of hundred people like Dana White that will do something about it um generally not
good enough and also a lot of people when you try to give them lifestyle interventions they respond a little bit curtly they say yeah that's nice like I'll start exercising when I have time why don't you give me some drugs to make me better now and then as a doctor and a service provider and someone who signed into the hypocritic oath that's kind of what you got to do so tough spot here no no clear winners no clear villains I'd say none of them could get my cholesterol good and bad leveled out it's all good
now this guy will change your life some of your favorite actors some of the most powerful richest people in the world are all now doing this with Gary for one reason and one reason only cuz it works Gary Brea haven't heard much about him but the evidence-based space apparently doesn't like him a whole lot I haven't formed a lot of my own very set in stone conclusions but uh let's see the kind of stuff that he's recommending and maybe I can form a little bit more of an informed conclusion after watching some more footage let's
take a look there were a lot of different problems with me that were going on that I've been talking to doctors for for 10 years none of them could fix any of my problems I had sleep apnea I had problems with my legs I had problems I didn't realize I had that doctors didn't even tell me that sucks it sucks to have health problems that no one can help you with I feel for that so A friend of mine Carrie kasm came to me and said you have to meet this guy Gary Breer he's incredible
he's a human biologist he'll change your life human biologist curious don't know what degree program that's in uh don't say human biology um let's find out what kind of stuff he knows I'm not cynic but I am skeptical there are four components to the Superhuman protocol ooh it's something called the Superhuman protocol curious the BMF pad cold plunging red light therapy and oxygen therapy that's a lot of really expensive red light therapy has had some promising research though on that balance I'm not so sure how it's doing I don't know what the first thing you
said was some kind of bed where you lay down I'll say that giving you more oxygen than you need and doing cold plunges has on the long term an aggregate almost no effect positively on your health unless you have a very specific context for it so so far because none of these things are eat better and eat less food and eat healthier and do more exercise and training and manage your stress better and sleep more these are almost certainly not the big differences that made a huge difference in Mr Dana White's health and happiness maybe
their might minor maybe they had nothing to do with it at all is my best guess so this goes in your bed the machine right next to it here you turn it on you literally just lay on this thing I sleep on it every night pmf stands for pulse electromagnetic field it's actually a charge a pulse electromagnetic field is really mimicking what we get from Mother Nature and that's the magnetism the low gous current that we get from the surface of the Earth skepticism transitioning slowly to cynicism there is I'll ask this as a question
instead of saying it as a statement is there a reason to augment the electromagnetic field of the earth if we're still on Earth I mean the electromagnetic field that comes from nature I don't suppose ends one foot off of the ground and that unless you're a human who still sleeps on the ground even sleeping in the trees doesn't count for this one you're robbed of some kind of magical Health properties of it I suppose that you still get the same electromagnetic field exposure from the earth r large in a room but then you get more
of it from this pad is more better and to that end has there been a series of research studies to examine two things one what is the dose response relationship of introducing extra electromagnetic field stimulus to the human body and what things does it make better I can promise you that almost certainly does not exist and the second question is by what mechanism especially empirically validated but even hypothetical or theoretical would such an extra added exposure to electromagnetic radiation by the way uh how would that help like does it help your brain recover better does
it help your blood flow better and if that's the CL what is the evidence for that claim and how mechanistically could that even be possible I'll tell you right now not looking so good for the pad but maybe there are some kind of mechanisms which it works we don't know and then later it'll look like a clown show with me making this video that they'll actually put up tons of uh super super well- conducted research studies that say it works super well uh for now I'm very reserved I must say so I wake up in
the morning the pmf matat is in my bed then I come right to work damn he's ripped lost 36 lb by the way 36 lb is a lot of weight to lose it will make you feel better snore less and improve all your blood markers like crazy uh it's going going to go ahead and say it's probably the weight loss that did almost all the work but maybe I'm getting ahead of myself then I come right to work and then I jump in the coal plunge all right cold plunge let's make them balls smaller I
go in at 50° for 3 minutes Diamond Spas diamonds baby Scott remember when I got a cold plunge made entirely of of platinum and uranium but they said the uranium was bad for me so I had to exchange it and just go to platinum and zirconium instead sucks to me just terrible I wouldn't know anything about it so when you start coal plunging it's very hard at first it's very mentally challenging I've been described as mentally challenged before it's true so the coold clunge is my drug of choice I don't think anything makes you feel
better for longer hey Gary you ever had a before motherucker hey we got a professional artist and then we got a cal plunge which one you want Gary He's like I love the cold you're like okay sweet that was the thing that happened um it can actually benefit you by indirectly effect insulin levels guys the direct effect on insulin levels of a cold tub is Dick the indirect effects on insulin levels are going to be two things very very tenuous not guaranteed and also even if delivered they're going to be of such a small magnitude
that merely taking a walk for several minutes will no doubt have better effects on your insulin levels than the cold plunge but I'll tell you what affects your insulin levels even better by a long shot resistance training to make your muscles bigger so that they consume more of your blood glucose and that's really amazing for your whole total body health and your insulin Dynamics and also having a high higher level of physical activity by a little bit than you're normally used to 10 to 12,000 steps a day is a good recommendation and eating healthier foods
but especially less food than you burn every day and thus you end up losing body fat and losing body fat and weight while gaining muscle mass and having a high level of physical activity that Trifecta will do all the heavy lifting for improving your insulin Dynamics by a mile by 95% whether some of this other stuff that Gary no doubt will talk about does even 5% % is itself contentious so if Mr Dana White got all of these amazing Transformations and he did a great job with just this kind of ancillary treatment I would be
really really impressed but I suspect he's on a fat loss healthy diet and has increased his daily physical activity and is doing organized resistance training protocol and has thus lost a lot of weight and gained a lot of muscle sure looks like it to me but we shall see if that is in fact the case the vast majority of the credit for his transformation goes to physical activity enhancement resistance training and eating a better diet what amount goes to these other modalities is in my scientific eyes and I only have scientific eyes what uh questionable
at worst at best teeny tiny assistance as well as increasing your mood by releasing enderin oh endorphins you mean endorphins motherucker JK but seriously all jokes all love and respect Scott do you notice that the music is like um spa music welcome to the Ascension Spa in Zurich Switzerland where we give you three things that are good for you an incred incredible Ambiance amazing raw food from nature and a stream of hand jobs now that's a am I right still more video to come but if you want the extended super unrated super extended Ultra Edition
cut which you can't put on actual YouTube we have a members area which you might love because it has all other kinds of goodies in it including regular highlevel videos about Super intellectual topics give that a click give us a join and you can see this video in full triple hd8k I don't know if that part's true see you guys there every day that I wake up I try to be better than I was yesterday and I spent the last Almost year and a half getting in the best shape that I could possibly get in
a year and a half of getting into the best shape of your life ising pretty sweet um also that's m sarv one of the best bodybuilders to ever do it and one of the best coaches to ever do it that's a hell of a person to have coaching you um was going to say Dana way is a very lucky man but he's not lucky he's just frivolously rich and famous same idea I guess all right we got a little full range of motion action not bad since I started taking my my health seriously almost 2
years ago my life has completely changed I'm more active I have more energy I'm more productive at work I'm more productive in life period that's definitely a thing having poor physical health up godamn near the rest of you and having good physical health um can really potentiate your entire life this is dope I love that he's gotten into resistance training and uh hopefully into eating better which we'll see in a little bit testosterone stayed right in the op upper end of the range cuz we're we're doing trt um hormone replacement therapy not not a huge
deal there I'm sorry what Gary the health benefits of trt therapy when seen in the context of someone who had excessively low testosterone before they started that therapy have a humongous amount of research behind them and the magnitude of their effect is infinitely High higher than all that other red light therapy oxygen tank stuff you were talking about but the trt is not a huge deal does he mean it not a huge deal in capacity that since it's good we're good or does he mean like trt is not a big deal CU it's aing huge
deal and I suspect that the trt has probably a lot to do with um Dana White's transformation it's at least awesome as a supporting mechanism to help promote General good health good sleep good nutrient partitioning an ability to train hard and and muscle mass secretion and cardiac outcomes and godamn near everything else trt is a big deal Gary you can't just say it's not a big deal and start talking about the supplement you sell that is a big deal it's really not let's find out when that happens Dana White whacking back hydrogen water as we
[Laughter] speak hydrogen water now here I thought water had hydrogen already maybe it's uh a super water we don't know about yet sugar makes you fat not fat that is a fact okay Gary Brea has fallen down to my list of people I'm not really enthused with because anything in excess makes you fat there are some Nuance there the direct conversion of protein to fat is questionable it may not happen on Moss and humans so if you overeat protein you stop burning a lot of fat stop burning it entirely really but maybe you can't add
a ton of body fat eating excessive protein if you eat excessive carbohydrate the conversion of carbohydrate into fat happens through multiple pathways and you can directly turn carbs into fat also if you eat excessive carbohydrates and your calories are too high you stop burning fat entirely and then anytime your calories too high from carbs some of them turn to fat what do I leave out oh yeah fats guess what your body has to do to fats that it eats in order to incorporate them into fat cells almost nothing do you know why cuz they're already
fats they just go right in godamn it getting you fat through excessive fats is the easiest thing in the world why fats are super tasty they take up very little room in your stomach even gram for gram they just have more calories excess fat is probably the highest reason why people are fat ask people what they used to overeat when they were overfat and they will tell you cookies ice cream pizza pasta how many of those things have a lot of carbohydrate but very little fat Scott remember we went out and had donuts and pizza
that had low fat remember when we got pasta the all Gard was just foil all oil guys bodybuilders eat very high carb lowfat foods and they can't gain weight short of stuffing themselves it turns out fats do an unbelievable job of making you fatter one of the best job and it turns out the thing that really makes you fat is excess fat and carbs and the best way to get that in is to eat Ultra tasty highly processed foods like eat a pasta Donuts Etc you end up eating so many of them that whatever the
they're made of it's just too much carbs are not the enemy sugars are not the enemy and fats are not the enemy you just need to eat them in moderation which I know isn't super revelatory but it's just true all right folks I'm going to talk about two things things that work and things that don't things that work diet good diet veggies fruits whole grains lean proteins healthy fats the good stuff the you know is good as it looks good on a plate it's all green and S fam and brown ricey and that fing Works
to make you healthier eating it in moderation will lead to weight loss which really makes you healthier doing a slightly increased level of physical activity during that time 10 to you know 8 to 10 to 12,000 steps a day enough to get you moving and grooving little step tracker like this from a Chinese company that probably also knows where I am all the time and is plotting Revolution against the United States no doubt is an excellent tool to add and in addition to that resistance training anywhere from two to most people four times a week
30 minutes to to 1 hour at a time can absolutely work to make your health and fitness and Longevity and quality of life exponentially better and it can do this in just months of your time and to sustain these habits is the easiest thing in the world once you've acquired them and ingrained them deeply that part is hard I will give you that here at RP we try to give you the tools and the knowledge to do it we're trying our best but it is really tough to get on that wagon and so another thing
that works really well is the amount of buyin and motivation that Dana White seems to have when you are as enthused as he is about what works you're going to keep doing the good stuff and that's a big deal but what doesn't work all the rest of that that Gary Brea said godamn it why is this person famous am I doing something wrong it's the face isn't it it's the face I'm just ugly I give this whole review a seven out of 10 huge points for Dana into taking his health into his own hands and
getting some expert help huge points for his consistency amazing points for training especially with Milo sarv super training expert all the training looked really good amazing points for eating better and giving up at least High quantities of alcohol awesome that gets us to a seven the three points we lose can be described as Gary braa is mostly full of sorry Gary that's the way the cookie crumbles could be wrong but it's unlikely I've been Dr Mike see you guys next time all right that was really fun folks this video right here YouTube wants you to
click on it and I've never said no to YouTube see you next time
