    Rob partage son état de bien-être post-Noël 2021, révélant qu'il se sent mieux qu'au cours des dernières années, tant physiquement que mentalement. Il évoque sa lutte contre la fatigue chronique et comment ses habitudes de vie ont changé avec l'arrivée de ses enfants, menant à un style de vie moins sain malgré des antécédents d'activité physique régulière et de bonne alimentation.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    Après avoir consulté divers médecins sans obtenir de réponses satisfaisantes, Rob suspecte un faible taux de testostérone. Il partage ses résultats de test de testostérone et discute de la différence entre les plages de normalité médicale et ce qui constitue une santé optimale, mentionnant l'importance des niveaux de testostérone et de vitamine D pour le bien-être général.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:15:00

    Il explore des cliniques de remplacement hormonal et décide d'effectuer des tests de sang pour obtenir une analyse complète de sa santé. Les résultats montrent que son taux de testostérone est dans la moyenne mais qu'il ressent toujours des symptômes de fatigue, ce qui le conduit à discuter de l'importance de traiter les symptômes plutôt que de se fier uniquement aux chiffres.

  • 00:15:00 - 00:23:29

    Rob envisage de modifier son alimentation, de prendre un supplément appelé DIM et de réduire sa consommation d'alcool et de caféine. Après quelques semaines de ce régime, il se sent revigoré, retrouve un meilleur sommeil et se rend compte des effets néfastes de la caféine et de l'alcool sur son bien-être. Il encourage les autres à essayer ce genre de changements pour améliorer leur propre santé.

    hello everyone and welcome to another
  • 00:00:05
    episode of rob's video blog so in
  • 00:00:07
    today's video blog
  • 00:00:09
    i want to tell you boy do i feel good
  • 00:00:13
    it's uh after christmas 2021 it's about
  • 00:00:16
    to be 2022 and man
  • 00:00:19
    i feel better than i have felt in the
  • 00:00:20
    past two to three to four years i mean
  • 00:00:23
    and i'm not exaggerating about that i'm
  • 00:00:25
    not just talking about mentally i mean
  • 00:00:27
    physically i feel good um
  • 00:00:31
    i think
  • 00:00:32
    you know i i always had a very healthy
  • 00:00:34
    lifestyle always was very active
  • 00:00:36
    when i stopped playing sports and i went
  • 00:00:38
    to college and i was a young adult i
  • 00:00:40
    always
  • 00:00:41
    worked out a lot i maintained a good
  • 00:00:42
    diet um i didn't use drugs i didn't
  • 00:00:45
    smoke i didn't smoke weed um i did drink
  • 00:00:48
    but my drinking was really
  • 00:00:50
    compartmentalized maybe like friday
  • 00:00:51
    nights and that was kind of it
  • 00:00:53
    um so my body always had time to detox
  • 00:00:55
    and uh get back to get back in the flow
  • 00:00:58
    of uh leading a healthy lifestyle but
  • 00:01:00
    as i've gotten older and i think because
  • 00:01:02
    i had kids
  • 00:01:03
    um
  • 00:01:04
    your lifestyle does have to change when
  • 00:01:06
    you have kids because everything is
  • 00:01:08
    about them
  • 00:01:11
    but i think i let things go a little bit
  • 00:01:13
    off the rails
  • 00:01:14
    and
  • 00:01:15
    i just the past two years i just noticed
  • 00:01:17
    i was tired
  • 00:01:19
    literally all of the time all of the
  • 00:01:21
    time
  • 00:01:22
    i got like you know one of those like
  • 00:01:23
    watches that would
  • 00:01:25
    check to see um how long you slept and
  • 00:01:27
    stuff like that and i was sleeping eight
  • 00:01:29
    hours eight and a half hours seven and a
  • 00:01:31
    half nine hours
  • 00:01:32
    and i would wake up and i would feel
  • 00:01:34
    exhausted
  • 00:01:36
    and then i would feel okay a little bit
  • 00:01:37
    in the morning and then by the time the
  • 00:01:38
    afternoon came i was just exhausted and
  • 00:01:40
    i would crash i wouldn't come home and i
  • 00:01:42
    was tired i wouldn't want to play with
  • 00:01:43
    kids
  • 00:01:44
    and it was weird because i was like
  • 00:01:46
    tired but then when i went to sleep i
  • 00:01:48
    couldn't sleep well it was just a
  • 00:01:49
    complete disaster it was really really
  • 00:01:51
    bad and i tried getting back into
  • 00:01:53
    working out and working out helped a
  • 00:01:55
    little bit uh with the days i would work
  • 00:01:57
    out it would be easier for me to fall
  • 00:01:58
    asleep i think because i would i would
  • 00:02:00
    you know um
  • 00:02:01
    tire myself out physically uh because i
  • 00:02:04
    have a desk job
  • 00:02:05
    um
  • 00:02:06
    but
  • 00:02:07
    it just it just wasn't the same as like
  • 00:02:09
    you know when i used to work out i used
  • 00:02:11
    to used to be difficult to do the first
  • 00:02:14
    couple exercises to get to the gym in
  • 00:02:15
    this case my basement uh to get to the
  • 00:02:17
    basement
  • 00:02:18
    put my music on and just block
  • 00:02:20
    everything else
  • 00:02:21
    block everything out and work out and
  • 00:02:22
    then by the time i get into like my
  • 00:02:24
    second exercise you get the juices
  • 00:02:25
    flowing and you feel good you're like oh
  • 00:02:27
    let's go let's go i'm gonna throw weight
  • 00:02:28
    through the ceiling i feel great let's
  • 00:02:30
    go that would always happen that in the
  • 00:02:32
    past two three four five years that
  • 00:02:34
    never happened never happened i never
  • 00:02:35
    got to that point it was literally
  • 00:02:37
    always a struggle which is probably why
  • 00:02:39
    i would go a couple weeks of working out
  • 00:02:41
    three four five days a week and then i
  • 00:02:43
    would just fall off
  • 00:02:44
    and uh and then like i said you know we
  • 00:02:46
    you know taking care of the kids and
  • 00:02:48
    traveling to see my in-laws and my
  • 00:02:49
    parents and going to the shore and going
  • 00:02:51
    skiing and stuff that kind of gets in
  • 00:02:52
    the way but at the end of the day it's
  • 00:02:54
    all excuses right
  • 00:02:55
    so anyway
  • 00:02:57
    fast forward i feel like crap
  • 00:02:59
    and you know you go to your regular
  • 00:03:01
    doctor and they're just like oh
  • 00:03:02
    everything's fine you know uh you know
  • 00:03:04
    what's your like i tell them you know
  • 00:03:06
    oh yeah you should probably cut back on
  • 00:03:07
    the drinking a little bit and uh you
  • 00:03:09
    know okay you have one cup of coffee in
  • 00:03:11
    the morning or one energy drink in the
  • 00:03:12
    morning that's fine that's not an
  • 00:03:14
    excessive amount of caffeine and you
  • 00:03:16
    know your blood pressure is a little bit
  • 00:03:18
    high like you know 130 132 over you know
  • 00:03:21
    85 90.
  • 00:03:23
    pre-hypertensive but that's not that's
  • 00:03:25
    not super high
  • 00:03:26
    um you know but you're you're okay your
  • 00:03:29
    blood lipid level you've got cholesterol
  • 00:03:31
    is like again on the cusp of being high
  • 00:03:33
    a cusp of being a little bit high but
  • 00:03:35
    not high everything's fine there's
  • 00:03:37
    there's really nothing wrong with you
  • 00:03:39
    so last year i said look maybe i have
  • 00:03:41
    low testosterone you know i'm like in my
  • 00:03:43
    mid-30s
  • 00:03:44
    and uh you know that happens you know
  • 00:03:46
    you're not you're not the same person
  • 00:03:47
    you were in your 20s so i had my
  • 00:03:49
    testosterone tested and like the normal
  • 00:03:51
    range on those things is somewhere
  • 00:03:52
    between three and like 900 and mine came
  • 00:03:55
    back at 391 which is like middle of the
  • 00:03:57
    road but still kind of low my doctor was
  • 00:03:59
    like oh that's totally fine well
  • 00:04:02
    this fall i was like reading about it
  • 00:04:04
    because i was looking at my symptoms
  • 00:04:05
    like always tired this that uh you know
  • 00:04:08
    brain fog kind of like hard to
  • 00:04:09
    concentrate on things just not feeling
  • 00:04:11
    productive and motivated
  • 00:04:14
    and one of the things that popped up was
  • 00:04:15
    like oh if you have low testosterone and
  • 00:04:17
    then i started reading and it said well
  • 00:04:19
    just like every other metric
  • 00:04:21
    established by governmental uh health
  • 00:04:23
    agencies like the normal range doesn't
  • 00:04:26
    mean optimal health now i did a video on
  • 00:04:29
    optimal vitamin d
  • 00:04:31
    levels which by the way if you want to
  • 00:04:33
    stay healthy in the winter you had
  • 00:04:35
    better optimize those vitamin d levels
  • 00:04:38
    uh because vitamin d is a huge
  • 00:04:40
    part of your immune system modulate your
  • 00:04:42
    immune system
  • 00:04:43
    and if you're uh depressed with vitamin
  • 00:04:45
    d
  • 00:04:46
    not in the optimal range which is like
  • 00:04:47
    60 to 80 uh nanograms per deciliter i
  • 00:04:51
    think that's it um
  • 00:04:54
    you're not you're not firing on all
  • 00:04:56
    immune cylinders anyway um
  • 00:04:59
    so yeah the regular doctor is just like
  • 00:05:01
    it's like hey all your levels are within
  • 00:05:04
    quote normal range so basically you're
  • 00:05:06
    not gonna die within the sick the next
  • 00:05:07
    six to nine months when i see you next
  • 00:05:09
    or blood work oh great that's not you
  • 00:05:11
    want to live for optimal health right i
  • 00:05:14
    don't know about you i don't just want
  • 00:05:15
    to not die i want to live there's a
  • 00:05:16
    difference between not dying and living
  • 00:05:19
    and if anything covet has found has
  • 00:05:20
    showed us that there's a big difference
  • 00:05:22
    between not dying and living anyway um
  • 00:05:25
    so
  • 00:05:26
    i was looking up like these uh these
  • 00:05:28
    hormone replacement clinics and stuff
  • 00:05:30
    like that and
  • 00:05:31
    a lot of them are like kind of uh
  • 00:05:33
    together with what they call like
  • 00:05:34
    wellness clinics
  • 00:05:35
    and so they're
  • 00:05:37
    you know you wouldn't go to them to
  • 00:05:38
    treat you know ball cancer or something
  • 00:05:40
    like that or you wouldn't go to them to
  • 00:05:42
    treat you know bronchitis or being sick
  • 00:05:44
    but you will go to them for them to
  • 00:05:47
    optimize a workout schedule for you
  • 00:05:49
    optimize your diet rebalance your
  • 00:05:52
    hormones
  • 00:05:53
    check all your
  • 00:05:56
    vitamin d check all your vitamin levels
  • 00:05:58
    check your uh they do a full metabolic
  • 00:05:59
    panel and all this kind of stuff so
  • 00:06:00
    anyway i found this place 200 bucks did
  • 00:06:03
    my blood work everything
  • 00:06:05
    you know check my testosterone levels
  • 00:06:06
    tech check my estrogen levels uh
  • 00:06:10
    everything you can imagine all the
  • 00:06:11
    vitamins full uh blood panel lipid
  • 00:06:14
    profile
  • 00:06:15
    um
  • 00:06:16
    kidney function liver function psa for
  • 00:06:19
    prostate they checked everything it was
  • 00:06:21
    200 bucks
  • 00:06:22
    and then i got a one hour consultation
  • 00:06:25
    with the doctor
  • 00:06:26
    so think about this for 200 bucks i got
  • 00:06:29
    a full workup of like basically
  • 00:06:31
    everything you can surmise from a blood
  • 00:06:33
    blood panel
  • 00:06:34
    from getting your blood drawn
  • 00:06:37
    and a one hour
  • 00:06:38
    consultation with a very knowledgeable
  • 00:06:40
    doctor
  • 00:06:42
    and it was all within three days of
  • 00:06:43
    placing a pho i placed a phone call like
  • 00:06:44
    oh you need to have blood work done at
  • 00:06:46
    lab corp we'll send in the prescription
  • 00:06:47
    when can you get it done i said i'll go
  • 00:06:49
    tomorrow morning i went the next morning
  • 00:06:51
    got the blood work done i called him
  • 00:06:52
    back said okay bloodwork's done they
  • 00:06:54
    said all right we'll schedule your next
  • 00:06:55
    appointment this was i think a friday
  • 00:06:57
    said we'll schedule your appointment uh
  • 00:06:58
    monday afternoon at 12 o'clock at the
  • 00:07:00
    doctor and you get an hour to just you
  • 00:07:02
    know you zoom with with the doctor and
  • 00:07:03
    you talk and ask any questions and if we
  • 00:07:06
    have recommendations for
  • 00:07:08
    um lifestyle adjustment or you know
  • 00:07:10
    maybe you need to have a sleep study
  • 00:07:12
    done or
  • 00:07:13
    um you know maybe we can rebalance your
  • 00:07:15
    hormones or increase your hormones if we
  • 00:07:17
    think that's the issue whatever the case
  • 00:07:19
    is the doctor will go through with you
  • 00:07:21
    and make recommendations and at the end
  • 00:07:22
    of the day the choice is up to you you
  • 00:07:24
    do whatever you want to do but two day
  • 00:07:25
    it was like two or three days and i got
  • 00:07:27
    that kind of attention for 200 it's
  • 00:07:29
    amazing what happens when you don't go
  • 00:07:30
    through uh insurance companies
  • 00:07:32
    um so anyway had my blood work done
  • 00:07:35
    talked to the doctor
  • 00:07:36
    and
  • 00:07:37
    my testosterone was actually way higher
  • 00:07:39
    than it was last year which is odd um it
  • 00:07:42
    was like 761 which is unlike the i'll
  • 00:07:45
    say like the high normal end of what
  • 00:07:48
    like the lab range is but again
  • 00:07:50
    the range that the labs put on there is
  • 00:07:52
    like the range to not die it's not
  • 00:07:54
    optimal range so
  • 00:07:56
    in case you didn't know the way that
  • 00:07:58
    they develop these ranges is they take
  • 00:08:00
    like whatever 10 000
  • 00:08:03
    normal healthy adults in your age range
  • 00:08:05
    they take their blood they test all of
  • 00:08:07
    their
  • 00:08:08
    um
  • 00:08:09
    they test all the things they're going
  • 00:08:11
    to test vitamins lipid profile red blood
  • 00:08:13
    cell count all that good stuff and then
  • 00:08:15
    they say okay well the this is 10 000
  • 00:08:17
    normal people so
  • 00:08:19
    anything in here any of these levels
  • 00:08:20
    that's not a complete outlier we're
  • 00:08:22
    going to call that the normal range
  • 00:08:24
    okay but like
  • 00:08:25
    just the average guy who doesn't have
  • 00:08:27
    heart disease and doesn't smoke
  • 00:08:29
    maybe he doesn't exercise okay he's got
  • 00:08:31
    okay blood pressure but like that's not
  • 00:08:33
    optimal health nobody would say that
  • 00:08:34
    that's optimal health so that's what
  • 00:08:37
    they call the normal range
  • 00:08:39
    um so that's how they come up with all
  • 00:08:41
    these things and by the way
  • 00:08:42
    humans are so diverse that like what's
  • 00:08:45
    normal for you might not be normal for
  • 00:08:46
    me
  • 00:08:47
    so anyway i talked to the doctor and uh
  • 00:08:49
    she said yeah that's that's very weird
  • 00:08:51
    that your testosterone is so much higher
  • 00:08:53
    than it was last year what was different
  • 00:08:55
    did you have more stress and now it's
  • 00:08:56
    kind of the same same kid same wife same
  • 00:08:59
    house
  • 00:09:00
    um i don't think i had any more stress
  • 00:09:02
    last year than this year
  • 00:09:04
    um
  • 00:09:05
    my diet and exercise was kind of the
  • 00:09:06
    same which is to say was pretty poor but
  • 00:09:08
    for whatever reason my testosterone
  • 00:09:09
    levels were like double what they were
  • 00:09:11
    last year
  • 00:09:12
    which is good um but i still have the
  • 00:09:14
    symptoms you say look we don't you know
  • 00:09:16
    the number is just a number um you know
  • 00:09:18
    we treat we treat the symptoms we treat
  • 00:09:20
    how you feel you know i can give you
  • 00:09:22
    more testosterone and we could see how
  • 00:09:25
    you feel she's like well keep increasing
  • 00:09:27
    the amount that i give you
  • 00:09:28
    until your symptoms go away if that's
  • 00:09:30
    the problem obviously we'll get to a
  • 00:09:32
    point and you'll tell me well you know
  • 00:09:33
    we've supplemented with testosterone and
  • 00:09:35
    i don't feel any different and that's
  • 00:09:36
    obviously not the problem um but she
  • 00:09:38
    said hey you know most men
  • 00:09:40
    feel a big difference when they go for
  • 00:09:43
    some men it's only above like 750 but
  • 00:09:45
    that's usually men who test down at like
  • 00:09:47
    200
  • 00:09:48
    they like if i tested them they'd be
  • 00:09:49
    like 200 which i would say is low and
  • 00:09:51
    then i bump them up to 700 750 they feel
  • 00:09:54
    good men who are a little bit higher in
  • 00:09:56
    their their baseline testing if i
  • 00:09:58
    elevate them higher to a thousand or
  • 00:09:59
    1200 which is kind of like the high like
  • 00:10:02
    that you don't really want to go much
  • 00:10:03
    higher than that um she said that's
  • 00:10:05
    usually when they start feeling the
  • 00:10:06
    benefits and start feeling a lot better
  • 00:10:08
    um but one thing that she didn't note
  • 00:10:10
    was that my estradiol was was relatively
  • 00:10:12
    high
  • 00:10:13
    estradiol is um
  • 00:10:15
    like the male form of estrogen and you
  • 00:10:17
    need some estradiol it's good for your
  • 00:10:18
    heart it's good for your brain
  • 00:10:20
    but you don't want too much of it you
  • 00:10:21
    only want a little bit of it and again
  • 00:10:23
    like the normal range is like i don't
  • 00:10:24
    know 15 to 44 and i think i was like 38
  • 00:10:27
    or something like that pretty close to
  • 00:10:29
    the high end and she said when you have
  • 00:10:30
    elevated estrogen
  • 00:10:32
    it kind of like cancels out the elevated
  • 00:10:34
    testosterone so my
  • 00:10:36
    functioning testosterone for that matter
  • 00:10:38
    is probably my
  • 00:10:40
    kind of is lower than the total number
  • 00:10:42
    that's there so she said uh you know i
  • 00:10:45
    would really like to see your your
  • 00:10:46
    estradiol uh get lower
  • 00:10:50
    um and she mentioned taking this
  • 00:10:51
    supplement called the dim and i'll get
  • 00:10:53
    into that in a second but she also said
  • 00:10:55
    you know
  • 00:10:56
    drinking caffeine and drinking alcohol
  • 00:10:59
    is really not good especially drinking
  • 00:11:01
    beer with the phytoestrogens in it is
  • 00:11:03
    really not good for your estradiol it
  • 00:11:05
    just
  • 00:11:06
    your body ends up converting
  • 00:11:07
    testosterone to estrogen and when you're
  • 00:11:09
    drinking beer and you're taking in these
  • 00:11:11
    um
  • 00:11:12
    extra generous
  • 00:11:14
    phytoestrogens um
  • 00:11:16
    it's uh you're just you're just
  • 00:11:18
    increasing your estrogen by drinking and
  • 00:11:20
    it's just bad for you so i said you know
  • 00:11:22
    what before we go ahead with anything
  • 00:11:24
    because my testosterone level seems to
  • 00:11:26
    be like the high normalist range um why
  • 00:11:28
    don't i try this dim supplement um
  • 00:11:32
    and get my diet and exercise
  • 00:11:35
    on track
  • 00:11:36
    and just stop drinking caffeine and
  • 00:11:38
    alcohol i'll do it i asked her i said
  • 00:11:40
    how long do i have to do it for to see a
  • 00:11:41
    difference she said if you could do it
  • 00:11:42
    for eight weeks you'll see a difference
  • 00:11:44
    and i said all right well christmas is
  • 00:11:45
    coming up and new year's is coming up so
  • 00:11:47
    can i drink like two days
  • 00:11:49
    through the course of this she said yeah
  • 00:11:50
    that's no problem
  • 00:11:52
    so for the next eight weeks
  • 00:11:54
    no caffeine no alcohol and i started
  • 00:11:56
    taking this dim supplement i forget what
  • 00:11:58
    it stands for it's like
  • 00:11:59
    dimethylene or something like that but
  • 00:12:02
    essentially it's a compound that is
  • 00:12:03
    found in cruciferous vegetables so like
  • 00:12:06
    green leafy vegetables brussels sprouts
  • 00:12:08
    uh broccoli i think it's even found in
  • 00:12:10
    cauliflower even though cauliflower is
  • 00:12:12
    not green um but anyway supposedly this
  • 00:12:15
    compound is supposed to support liver
  • 00:12:17
    health it's supposed to support
  • 00:12:19
    um
  • 00:12:21
    uh detoxifying your liver and more
  • 00:12:24
    specifically
  • 00:12:26
    estradiol or estrogen is um
  • 00:12:30
    metabolized in your liver so by taking
  • 00:12:32
    this it's it's supposed to help balance
  • 00:12:34
    your hormones now if you go on like
  • 00:12:36
    amazon and you look at all the reviews
  • 00:12:38
    for this for uh dim
  • 00:12:40
    you'll see that uh
  • 00:12:42
    there's like nine out of ten reviews and
  • 00:12:43
    they're mostly from women who have
  • 00:12:45
    issues have hormonal issues they have
  • 00:12:47
    really bad pms so they've got cystic
  • 00:12:48
    acne um and they take this uh dim
  • 00:12:51
    supplement and they're just like it's a
  • 00:12:53
    miracle like my cystic acne is so much
  • 00:12:55
    better my pms symptoms are so much
  • 00:12:57
    better because it helps down regulate um
  • 00:13:00
    their estrogen levels
  • 00:13:02
    and for men it's supposed to do the same
  • 00:13:04
    thing it's supposed to help down
  • 00:13:05
    regulate uh the estrogen by metabolizing
  • 00:13:07
    the bad estrogen in your liver well
  • 00:13:10
    aside from that
  • 00:13:13
    supposedly and there's not as much
  • 00:13:15
    studies on this more
  • 00:13:17
    sort of
  • 00:13:19
    hypothetical
  • 00:13:20
    explanations
  • 00:13:22
    of the function of it but it's supposed
  • 00:13:23
    to also help like detoxify your liver of
  • 00:13:26
    other chemicals your liver is supposed
  • 00:13:28
    to take fat-soluble chemicals that get
  • 00:13:31
    absorbed in your body and turn them into
  • 00:13:32
    water-soluble chemicals so that you can
  • 00:13:34
    pee them out that i didn't know but i
  • 00:13:36
    did learn that
  • 00:13:37
    so if you take a water-soluble um
  • 00:13:41
    if you have a water-soluble uh toxin in
  • 00:13:44
    your body it gets absorbed into your
  • 00:13:46
    stomach it goes directly into your
  • 00:13:47
    bloodstream your kidneys will filter it
  • 00:13:49
    out and then you will pee it out
  • 00:13:52
    when you have a fat soluble
  • 00:13:54
    chemical
  • 00:13:56
    your kidneys cannot filter out filter
  • 00:13:59
    out because your urine is
  • 00:14:01
    water-based obviously
  • 00:14:03
    your kidneys cannot filter out fat
  • 00:14:04
    soluble items they have to be
  • 00:14:06
    water-soluble so your liver takes those
  • 00:14:08
    uh fat-soluble toxins and makes it
  • 00:14:11
    converts it into a water
  • 00:14:13
    uh soluble toxin and then dumps it back
  • 00:14:16
    into your bloodstream and then your
  • 00:14:18
    kidneys filter it out so
  • 00:14:20
    anyway
  • 00:14:21
    the dim supposedly facilitates this
  • 00:14:23
    function in your liver to allow it to
  • 00:14:25
    convert things
  • 00:14:26
    convert
  • 00:14:27
    toxins into water-soluble toxins so that
  • 00:14:30
    your kidneys can filter them out and pee
  • 00:14:32
    them out
  • 00:14:33
    sounds plausible to me all i know is i
  • 00:14:35
    started taking this dim stuff and my pee
  • 00:14:37
    was brown and when i say brown i mean it
  • 00:14:40
    was so dark brown and it stunk it was so
  • 00:14:43
    dark brown that i thought for like a
  • 00:14:46
    minute that i had like uh blood in my
  • 00:14:48
    urine i was a little concerned i was
  • 00:14:49
    like oh i don't know how long i'm gonna
  • 00:14:50
    let this go before i go see a doctor and
  • 00:14:52
    then i started googling and people said
  • 00:14:53
    yeah when you start taking dim like
  • 00:14:55
    um your pee will like turn kind of brown
  • 00:14:57
    and it's from the dim you know uh
  • 00:15:00
    metabolizing in your
  • 00:15:02
    uh uh liver your liver kind of
  • 00:15:04
    detoxifying itself getting all the
  • 00:15:05
    out of your body um and it also kind of
  • 00:15:07
    smells like really bad kind of like if
  • 00:15:09
    you if you eat a lot of asparagus and
  • 00:15:11
    you pee and it like stinks it's kind of
  • 00:15:13
    like that because it's from similar type
  • 00:15:15
    of green vegetables that's what happens
  • 00:15:17
    with that compound so anyway
  • 00:15:19
    i stopped drinking caffeine wasn't that
  • 00:15:20
    difficult just kind of weaned it off of
  • 00:15:22
    like four days i had like one day of a
  • 00:15:24
    headache
  • 00:15:25
    um which i took like three advil and
  • 00:15:27
    that was it um i haven't drank
  • 00:15:30
    and within like five days i felt
  • 00:15:33
    phenomenal i mean i feel phenomenal and
  • 00:15:37
    i think a lot of it has to do with my
  • 00:15:39
    sleep too because like i said i got that
  • 00:15:40
    watch that tracks your sleep well not
  • 00:15:43
    only does it track like the hours of
  • 00:15:44
    sleep that you get but it also tracks
  • 00:15:46
    the quality of sleep and so if you move
  • 00:15:48
    around a lot because you're you're not
  • 00:15:49
    getting into a deep sleep um it tracks
  • 00:15:52
    that and it knows and it tells you oh
  • 00:15:54
    you got nine hours of poor quality sleep
  • 00:15:56
    and nine times out of ten when i woke up
  • 00:15:58
    it said like average sleep or poor sleep
  • 00:16:00
    even though i would get eight nine hours
  • 00:16:01
    of sleep now i'm waking up eight hours
  • 00:16:03
    of sleep high
  • 00:16:05
    seven and a half hours high eight and a
  • 00:16:07
    half hours high it's restorative sleep
  • 00:16:09
    i'm getting into my rem cycle much
  • 00:16:11
    faster than i was before and i'm
  • 00:16:13
    dreaming again which is interesting um
  • 00:16:16
    but supposedly having
  • 00:16:18
    not excessive dreams but a normal amount
  • 00:16:19
    of dreams is indicative of getting into
  • 00:16:21
    a nice deep sleep because what's
  • 00:16:22
    happening is
  • 00:16:24
    i believe that the sleep cycle is like
  • 00:16:25
    you fall asleep you're in a you're in a
  • 00:16:27
    like a low level sleep not not too deep
  • 00:16:29
    and then you fall into a deep sleep and
  • 00:16:31
    you go through a couple of these cycles
  • 00:16:32
    then after you go through a couple of
  • 00:16:33
    those cycles then you go into like the
  • 00:16:36
    cycle then you get into the cycle where
  • 00:16:37
    you start to dream well if you never if
  • 00:16:39
    it takes you longer to start those
  • 00:16:41
    cycles and fall into that deep level of
  • 00:16:43
    sleep by the time it's time to wake up
  • 00:16:45
    you never get into that dream state
  • 00:16:47
    and so
  • 00:16:48
    it's kind of a rough indicator that if
  • 00:16:50
    you wake up in the morning in the early
  • 00:16:52
    morning hours four or five six o'clock
  • 00:16:54
    in the morning you're you you're
  • 00:16:56
    starting to dream a little bit that's
  • 00:16:57
    indicative that you're falling quickly
  • 00:16:59
    asleep and you're getting into that deep
  • 00:17:00
    rem sleep quicker and longer than if you
  • 00:17:03
    don't have uh than if you you're not
  • 00:17:05
    having any kind of dreams like that so
  • 00:17:07
    but i'll tell you what uh man quit in
  • 00:17:09
    the caffeine like i don't even want it i
  • 00:17:11
    don't have a does i used to love energy
  • 00:17:12
    drinks and i still i still love the
  • 00:17:14
    taste of them if i get like a red bull
  • 00:17:15
    with no caffeine i would still drink it
  • 00:17:17
    because it's so good um or a monster low
  • 00:17:19
    carb with no caffeine because it's so
  • 00:17:20
    good but i have no desire i there was
  • 00:17:23
    one day where i was kind of tired
  • 00:17:24
    because we went out with friends we went
  • 00:17:25
    out to dinner i did have a little bit to
  • 00:17:26
    drink that was the one the one
  • 00:17:29
    the one night so far that i was allowed
  • 00:17:30
    to drink was around christmas um and i
  • 00:17:32
    just got i got terrible sleep i got i
  • 00:17:34
    could just tell i got terrible sleep i
  • 00:17:36
    got like seven hours of sleep i felt
  • 00:17:37
    like garbage i was tired through the
  • 00:17:39
    whole day and i was kind of tempted to
  • 00:17:41
    have like a cup of coffee and i was like
  • 00:17:43
    no just don't do it and eventually it
  • 00:17:45
    wore off and i felt better as the day
  • 00:17:46
    went on and and i was i was okay um and
  • 00:17:49
    then the next morning when i when i woke
  • 00:17:50
    up i felt great i feel great again so i
  • 00:17:53
    really have no desire to um
  • 00:17:56
    drink caffeine like ever again i gotta
  • 00:17:57
    find like a soda a delicious soda that
  • 00:18:00
    doesn't have caffeine i like coke but
  • 00:18:02
    they make they make caffeine-free coke
  • 00:18:04
    so maybe i'll get some of that
  • 00:18:06
    but um
  • 00:18:07
    yeah it's uh man if you if you're
  • 00:18:09
    drinking caffeine and you're drinking
  • 00:18:10
    alcohol on the regular you gotta stop it
  • 00:18:13
    i'm telling you you gotta stop it and i
  • 00:18:15
    know my body is like hypersensitive to
  • 00:18:17
    like my diet and stuff like that so it
  • 00:18:19
    might be different for other people but
  • 00:18:21
    and i've done like a dry january before
  • 00:18:23
    where i've quit drinking in january and
  • 00:18:25
    i remember at the end thinking to myself
  • 00:18:26
    ah you know i don't really feel that
  • 00:18:28
    much better so i think a lot of it had
  • 00:18:30
    to do with quitting the caffeine and
  • 00:18:31
    when you read about caffeine it's a drug
  • 00:18:34
    not only does it keep you awake but it
  • 00:18:36
    like apparently like attacks your
  • 00:18:38
    adrenaline gland and makes you release
  • 00:18:39
    makes makes your body release adrenaline
  • 00:18:42
    so every morning you wake up and you're
  • 00:18:44
    cool and you take you get your cup of
  • 00:18:46
    coffee you're like stimulating your
  • 00:18:48
    adrenal glands to release adrenaline and
  • 00:18:51
    it's not just adrenaline but something
  • 00:18:52
    some some other some other hormone that
  • 00:18:55
    comes out that makes you feel good gives
  • 00:18:56
    you a sense of well-being
  • 00:18:58
    um
  • 00:18:59
    that's why it's so addictive um but what
  • 00:19:01
    happens is when you hyperstimulate that
  • 00:19:03
    other things that normally would
  • 00:19:05
    stimulate your
  • 00:19:06
    adrenal gland and the other and release
  • 00:19:08
    the other god i can't remember um yeah
  • 00:19:11
    mental clarity right um
  • 00:19:14
    the other hormone that uh makes you feel
  • 00:19:16
    good gives you a sense of well-being
  • 00:19:18
    uh the things in your life that would
  • 00:19:20
    normally elicit that feeling like
  • 00:19:22
    working out no longer elicit that
  • 00:19:25
    response which explains to me
  • 00:19:28
    why when i was working out i wasn't
  • 00:19:30
    getting that i wasn't getting that hit
  • 00:19:32
    of adrenaline or whatever it is that
  • 00:19:34
    makes you feel good once you start
  • 00:19:36
    working out and get into your workout
  • 00:19:37
    because the caffeine had already
  • 00:19:39
    fatigued that that whole neurological
  • 00:19:41
    pathway i had already got we already got
  • 00:19:43
    that hit at eight o'clock in the morning
  • 00:19:44
    from drinking my coffee and when you try
  • 00:19:46
    to get it a second time like any other
  • 00:19:47
    drug it just doesn't work
  • 00:19:49
    so uh man i'm telling you if there's i'm
  • 00:19:52
    telling you it's almost new years i
  • 00:19:53
    don't believe in new year's resolutions
  • 00:19:54
    because you got to make a change you
  • 00:19:55
    just change it when when you're going to
  • 00:19:57
    change it but i'm telling you get off
  • 00:19:59
    the caffeine
  • 00:20:00
    and stop it with the alcohol listen you
  • 00:20:02
    want a drink wait till the weekend and
  • 00:20:04
    have a couple drinks and get buzzed so
  • 00:20:06
    you can feel it and enjoy it
  • 00:20:08
    honestly like listen i get it's a social
  • 00:20:10
    thing and stuff like that it's like oh
  • 00:20:11
    i'll have a beer with dinner i'll have a
  • 00:20:12
    glass of wine with dinner it's like
  • 00:20:13
    honestly what's the point you're just
  • 00:20:14
    poisoning your body you probably don't
  • 00:20:16
    even get the nice buzz to get the
  • 00:20:17
    feeling from it it's not worth it it's
  • 00:20:19
    really not you're just slowly poisoning
  • 00:20:21
    yourself so if you're gonna drink the
  • 00:20:23
    alcohol i say just wait till the weekend
  • 00:20:25
    pick a day on the weekend whether it's
  • 00:20:26
    football sunday and stuff like that and
  • 00:20:27
    then drink then enjoy it and you know
  • 00:20:30
    two you're less alcohol tolerant so you
  • 00:20:31
    don't have to drink as much to get that
  • 00:20:33
    to get to get a buzz so it's better to
  • 00:20:34
    kind of reserve it that way and another
  • 00:20:36
    thing that i would say which i think i'm
  • 00:20:38
    going to start implementing after this
  • 00:20:39
    eight weeks if i'm gonna uh drink
  • 00:20:41
    alcohol i'm gonna try and drink
  • 00:20:43
    like during the day
  • 00:20:45
    because it like if let's say like i'm
  • 00:20:48
    watching uh let's say there's a formula
  • 00:20:49
    one grand prix on it uh 12 o'clock or
  • 00:20:51
    whatever i could have a bunch of beers
  • 00:20:54
    get buzzed have a good time and then
  • 00:20:56
    like sober up by you know the evening
  • 00:20:59
    and then when i go to sleep i won't have
  • 00:21:01
    those negative effects
  • 00:21:03
    um
  • 00:21:04
    in my sleep cycle whereas like if i if i
  • 00:21:06
    drink at dinner or before dinner in the
  • 00:21:08
    or in the late afternoon or at night by
  • 00:21:10
    the time i go to sleep it's like prime
  • 00:21:12
    time for the alcohol to screw up my
  • 00:21:13
    entire sleep cycle and make them feel
  • 00:21:15
    like garbage so
  • 00:21:16
    that's kind of the the plan going
  • 00:21:18
    forward if i'm going to have some
  • 00:21:20
    alcohol consumption is do it during the
  • 00:21:21
    day and only do it like once a week but
  • 00:21:25
    i'll say it one more time guys
  • 00:21:27
    stop the caffeine
  • 00:21:29
    limit the alcohol
  • 00:21:30
    and i'm telling you try this dim
  • 00:21:32
    supplement guys it's going to turn your
  • 00:21:34
    pee all sorts of weird colors but i'm
  • 00:21:36
    telling you it
  • 00:21:38
    it's it's phenomenal i feel fantastic
  • 00:21:40
    i've been working out the past two weeks
  • 00:21:42
    it's been it's been great i'm hoping to
  • 00:21:44
    just keep plowing through and and uh
  • 00:21:47
    and keep it going but uh i will say
  • 00:21:49
    about the dim like every tenth review
  • 00:21:51
    of using the dim says that it gave
  • 00:21:53
    people really bad headaches
  • 00:21:54
    um
  • 00:21:56
    and i've read some stuff basically
  • 00:21:57
    saying like yeah you got all this
  • 00:21:58
    built up in your liver and so you take
  • 00:22:01
    the dim and it facilitates the releasing
  • 00:22:03
    of all those toxins into your
  • 00:22:04
    bloodstream so that your body can filter
  • 00:22:06
    it out uh in your kidneys and in your
  • 00:22:08
    pee
  • 00:22:09
    and so yeah it would make sense that if
  • 00:22:11
    you had all these toxins kind of stored
  • 00:22:12
    up in your liver and then it gets
  • 00:22:14
    released into your bloodstream it's
  • 00:22:15
    going to give you a headache and you're
  • 00:22:16
    going to feel like crap people have
  • 00:22:17
    reported feeling like crap for a couple
  • 00:22:19
    of days and sticking with it and then
  • 00:22:21
    felt better some people got headaches so
  • 00:22:22
    bad like migraines that they had to go
  • 00:22:24
    to the hospital um so what people what
  • 00:22:26
    they've said is when you start the dim
  • 00:22:28
    start on like the lowest dose possible
  • 00:22:29
    if you can buy like 100 milligram
  • 00:22:31
    capsule like take a half a capsule first
  • 00:22:34
    couple days then take a full capsule and
  • 00:22:35
    work your way up to like the regular
  • 00:22:37
    dose of about like 100 100 milligrams if
  • 00:22:40
    you're a small person or 200 milligrams
  • 00:22:41
    if you're like a man or something like
  • 00:22:43
    that so
  • 00:22:44
    anyway that's it i'm feeling great and i
  • 00:22:47
    hope that you guys are feeling great if
  • 00:22:48
    not please please please just try it do
  • 00:22:51
    it for like four to eight weeks and see
  • 00:22:53
    how you feel also keep in mind if you've
  • 00:22:55
    been drinking like one two three four or
  • 00:22:58
    five cups of coffee for like years at a
  • 00:23:00
    time it's gonna take a lot more than
  • 00:23:02
    like you know it only took me like four
  • 00:23:03
    days to wean off it without too much of
  • 00:23:05
    a side effect if you've been drinking um
  • 00:23:07
    a lot of caffeine it's going to take you
  • 00:23:09
    quite a bit longer a couple weeks to
  • 00:23:10
    wean off of it but
  • 00:23:12
    you got to do it man i mean do you want
  • 00:23:13
    to be addicted to a drug your entire
  • 00:23:15
    life that just kind of makes you feel
  • 00:23:16
    like crap and tired all the time and
  • 00:23:18
    dependent on it and
  • 00:23:21
    at some point you just gotta get on with
  • 00:23:22
    your life and live it so um
  • 00:23:24
    anyway
  • 00:23:26
    thanks for watching and i'll see you
  • 00:23:27
    again next time
