i feel like any time


0:33

we click record it gets like awkward you


0:35

know


0:36

i was just reading something so i didn't


0:38

even realize you're recording yet no


0:40

that's good maybe like whenever i see a


0:42

countdown like i know one of us is gonna


0:44

start laughing


0:46

what's up guys episode six already


0:49

it's uh it's going pretty quick we just


0:51

launched episode three yesterday so


0:52

we're doing a little bit of


0:54

bulk content prepping i guess


0:56

it's good to work ahead you know


0:58

getting plus we want to collect some


1:00

questions


1:01

getting things done definitely today is


1:03

our first q a episode where we collected


1:06

some questions from our instagram


1:08

so if you don't know yet if you go to my


1:11

bio or christine's bio there's actually


1:13

a question box where you can submit a


1:15

question for next time if you'd like to


1:17

come with any suggestions or questions


1:18

you know just so you know it's there


1:20

and then


1:22

with these q a episodes we're going to


1:23

try


1:24

try to keep it a little bit shorter


1:27

which we are not very good at but we'll


1:29

do our best we'll see


1:31

see how it goes


1:33

no nutrition coach is good at keeping


1:35

things short


1:37

no like


1:38

that's what i try to do in my instagram


1:40

stories as well it's like


1:42

someone submits submits a question


1:44

i'll try to do it within like the


1:45

60-second thing i just can't do it like


1:48

do it over and over you know


1:49

and then i end up just doing four or


1:51

something but anyway before we get into


1:53

it i just wanted to ask you for a quick


1:55

favor so obviously we just started the


1:57

show


1:58

and one of the best ways for us to grow


1:59

the show with your help would be through


2:02

apple and spotify rating and reviews


2:04

right


2:04

it takes a couple seconds so if you'd


2:06

like to help us out just go to your


2:08

apple or your spotify app it gives a


2:10

five-star rating and it would definitely


2:11

help us rank the show and possibly get a


2:14

few more listeners


2:15

much appreciated


2:17

much appreciated


2:18

all right first question want to start


2:20

it off yeah so first question was is


2:24

there a difference between men and women


2:27

when it comes to nutrition


2:30

not really


2:32

it's not it's not really gender


2:34

related like


2:37

it's


2:38

person-to-person basis right


2:41

um


2:43

based on their lifestyle their habits


2:46

you know their metabolism


2:48

so the short answer to that is no


2:51

everyone is completely individualized


2:54

not gender related that's a quick quick


2:57

answer for you that's a quick answer but


2:59

it's true like


3:01

there's so much in online where it's


3:02

like the best you know


3:04

meal plan for


3:05

men whatever or for women who you know


3:08

it's like


3:10

you know you know like pcos is a good


3:12

example or


3:14

anything that's like a condition you


3:16

know they'll try to like put you on like


3:18

a special tempo or meal plan but


3:20

it's not really such thing it's all


3:22

marketing


3:23

it's all marketing


3:25

and


3:26

for example


3:28

i have


3:29

men who are eating the same as some my


3:31

women


3:33

right there are instances like that so i


3:35

have


3:37

female athletes


3:38

who are eating like 3 000 calories you


3:42

know and then some


3:44

men who are eating the same right so it


3:46

just it just depends on the person


3:48

totally and what they're doing how


3:50

active they are what their past dieting


3:52

history is look like


3:53

hormonal health


3:55

all of that


3:58

now there is a difference in terms of


4:00

testosterone and


4:02

that does play into muscle building but


4:04

then if we zoom out again it does really


4:06

come down to the same like that would be


4:09

based on muscle mass


4:11

but that's still not going to be


4:13

the actual difference from like


4:15

male to like female right so next


4:18

question


4:19

we'll try to keep it short like i said


4:21

from anya one of my previous clients so


4:23

she asked me


4:25

what supplements do i need in quotes and


4:28

what do you think about melatonin


4:30

supplementation


4:31

you don't need any supplements i'll say


4:33

that right off the bat


4:35

you don't need a single one of them some


4:36

can be beneficial some can definitely


4:38

help


4:39

i take quite a few of them a lot of my


4:42

clients do


4:43

but you don't need any supplements to


4:45

create results


4:48

once again it's going to be individual


4:49

right there are a few that i believe a


4:51

lot of people could benefit from but i


4:54

am not going to get into dosing um etc


4:57

and supplementation on this podcast


4:59

because it simply wouldn't be right


5:01

i don't even do this with my clients i


5:03

give them the information i'll tell them


5:05

and i'll give you guys a link in a sec


5:07

too but like i'll tell them like this is


5:10

what i know about it this is what it's


5:12

likely going to do


5:13

here's a website you can check to do


5:15

your own research


5:17

personally this is what i would do in


5:18

your case


5:20

but you need to make that decision for


5:21

yourself


5:23

so i wouldn't ever tell someone you need


5:25

to supplement


5:26

right


5:27

even a lot of people do also do that on


5:30

instagram on tick tock and all that


5:31

stuff and it's just simply isn't right


5:33

you know


5:35

now really quick in short a couple that


5:38

i do think you can add to this christine


5:40

but


5:41

a couple that i do think can be


5:42

beneficial for a lot of people first of


5:44

all fish oil


5:45

very seems to be very safe very well


5:48

back to our research can help you lower


5:50

triglyceride levels as tons of other


5:52

health benefits um but it's mostly known


5:55

for the anti-inflammatory effects it has


5:57

right


5:58

when we look at the modern diet


6:01

i think people always say like modern


6:02

like or standard american diet but like


6:04

in europe it's not much better here


6:07

so uh no judging here no but like when


6:10

we look at that it's very


6:11

pro-inflammatory right if we're looking


6:13

at


6:14

without making it too science-y if we're


6:16

looking at omega-3 compared to omega-6s


6:18

omega-6s would be


6:20

pro-inflammatory which we don't really


6:22

want if it adds up too much and then


6:25

omega-3s will be anti-inflammatory and


6:27

that's definitely going to be like the


6:29

the healthier version kind of thing


6:31

where do we get that


6:32

cold water fish like salmon trout etc


6:36

so first of all let me ask you


6:39

how often do you eat that per week i


6:41

said a couple times so you probably


6:42

don't need fish oil


6:44

if you don't then maybe it's a good idea


6:46

to add some


6:48

if you're vegan you could go with like


6:50

algae oil but once again


6:52

it all depends you know as always what i


6:55

will add there too


6:57

is


6:58

with like omega-6


7:01

are are like it's inflammatory


7:03

inflammatory but the dose determines the


7:05

poison right


7:07

if you're having a good


7:09

amount or a proper amount it's totally


7:12

fine


7:13

it's the over consumption of the omega-6


7:16

that makes it inflammatory


7:19

exactly it's the ratio it's not like


7:21

just this one or that one it's kind of


7:23

like how much omega-3s are you getting


7:26

compared to your omega-6s right all


7:29

right vitamin d very important one


7:32

i don't know how far north you live but


7:33

i live pretty far north in the arctic


7:35

circle where we actually don't have any


7:37

sunlight for two months straight


7:40

which kind of sucks but it's for another


7:41

day


7:42

yeah


7:43

and then in general like it's pretty


7:44

cloudy here


7:46

vitamin d we mostly get through


7:49

sunlight so


7:51

if we don't spend a lot of time actually


7:52

being outside which these days i don't


7:55

think a whole lot of people are doing


7:56

that it can be a good idea to supplement


7:59

with vitamin d


8:01

it's going to improve immune function


8:03

it's important for bone health


8:04

well-being and a lot more


8:06

and


8:08

you can get some from your diet but it's


8:10

it's very little you know sometimes


8:12

you'll see like fortified milks and


8:13

stuff


8:14

but it's not gonna do the trick like if


8:16

you're not spending a lot of time


8:17

outside and you're getting actual


8:19

sunlight


8:20

you're very likely deficient and that


8:22

does seem to be the case for a lot of


8:23

people yeah you do want to take vitamin


8:27

d with k2 because it does help the


8:29

absorption of the vitamin d the calcium


8:33

situation there


8:36

situation yeah


8:38

i could go deep into that but keep it


8:40

short


8:41

creatine


8:42

the uh performance enhancing uh secret


8:45

now


8:47

creatine is a


8:49

very research versus safe and um


8:51

very beneficial my opinion i take it


8:53

every single day i have been for a very


8:55

long time


8:57

um


8:58

i feel like it's definitely like hyped


9:00

up quite a bit on social media still and


9:02

it has been for ages but like creatine


9:04

can help you build muscle get a little


9:06

bit more out of your workouts and can


9:07

definitely help


9:09

in particular with some more like


9:11

explosive type of training right


9:12

remember thinking weightlifting for


9:14

example


9:16

now the more studies we're getting on


9:18

creatine


9:20

the more reasons we find out we should


9:22

take it for


9:24

and there's now even some new


9:26

studies that point out some brain


9:27

benefits too so that's kind of cool


9:29

so creatine


9:31

i'd recommend that in most cases you


9:32

know


9:34

then a high quality whey isolate so


9:36

protein powders can definitely help it


9:38

shouldn't really be like your main


9:41

source right you don't just want to rely


9:43

on supplementation


9:45

but it can definitely help now there's


9:47

some


9:48

good protein powders out there that are


9:51

first of all very affordable it's very


9:53

convenient to can help you get your


9:55

proteins in


9:56

let's be honest most people aren't


9:57

eating enough protein from whole foods


10:01

and you're getting all of your amino


10:02

acids that we do need for you know


10:05

proper function


10:06

now i did say a quality whey protein or


10:09

whey isolate


10:11

because there is a lot of trash out


10:13

there


10:14

specifically speaking about like you


10:16

know the meal replacements with


10:18

a whole lot of stuff added where it's


10:20

kind of like if you look on the label


10:22

it's like


10:23

fructose is like the second uh


10:26

ingredient you know


10:27

and i looked up another one and it was


10:29

like


10:30

some bean flour type of thing like i


10:32

forgot what it was but it was crazy and


10:34

then it had like these tiny little micro


10:36

amounts of like vitamins and minerals


10:38

but


10:40

it's all marketing once again


10:42

and it's all stuff that's not really


10:43

going to do anything so if you're


10:44

looking into a protein supplement go


10:47

with a high quality whey isolate doesn't


10:50

have to be whey iso it can be casein


10:52

whatever but make sure that it doesn't


10:54

have a whole bunch of added stuff


10:56

because you're very likely just wasting


10:58

your money there that's really it for


11:00

the


11:01

supplements that i would recommend to


11:03

most people um


11:05

i'd say maybe magnesium is a good one


11:07

too i was just gonna say that


11:09

right specifically


11:11

this magnesium glycinate is my favorite


11:14

supplement


11:15

i take it every single night


11:19

most of my clients are taking it


11:22

it has


11:23

so many benefits


11:26

for our overall health


11:28

but a big one for females is uh pms


11:31

symptoms


11:33

and so


11:35

often times when a like we obviously


11:38

want to get


11:39

you know lifestyle factors in place


11:40

first


11:42

but often times when my female


11:46

clients are dealing with bad cramps


11:49

headaches you know some anxiety things


11:51

like that prior to their cycle or during


11:54

i will um recommend them take magnesium


11:57

glycinate and it can help immensely if


12:00

it helps to calm things down


12:02

it's also really beneficial for


12:05

sleep that's why i take it and i notice


12:08

a difference when i don't take it at


12:10

night


12:11

um


12:13

and i just love it i just love it i i


12:15

recommend it to almost all my clients


12:17

even my male clients who are having some


12:19

trouble sleeping


12:21

it's good for


12:22

you know muscle recovery muscle


12:24

relaxation


12:25

um


12:26

blood sugar regulation and we often see


12:31

deficiencies with magnesium when we're


12:34

super stressed


12:35

and as a


12:37

society we are super stressed so it can


12:40

almost benefit everybody


12:42

um


12:45

my favorite brand and i'm not affiliated


12:48

with them at all


12:49

is look organics because they have


12:53

and they're based out of canada


12:55

they have magnesium glycinate plus


12:57

l-theanine


12:59

and so alternating is really good for


13:01

promoting restful sleep relaxation


13:03

things like that so those two combined


13:06

are really powerful so i've tried other


13:08

magnesium glycine stock that they're bad


13:10

but i noticed a significant difference


13:12

between those and this specific


13:14

supplement so that's the one that i


13:18

typically recommend to my clients nice


13:21

i actually take a similar uh combination


13:23

but i take them separately so i also


13:25

take magnesium ricinate and then i


13:27

actually have zinc as well l-theanine as


13:29

well because they can all kind of


13:32

they just work very nicely together you


13:34

know


13:34

yeah so a little bit about what i take


13:36

to to fall asleep that being said before


13:39

i forget about melatonin uh i'll keep


13:41

this one very short


13:42

a


13:43

hormone that your body does produce


13:45

itself


13:47

supplementing


13:48

seems to be fine you know and you can


13:50

keep doing so as well i don't believe


13:53

that it actually affects your own


13:55

melatonin production however


13:58

i wouldn't start there so if you're


14:00

struggling with sleeping


14:01

i would first lock in the sleep schedule


14:04

right waking up and going to bed at the


14:06

same time every day


14:07

making your room dark and cold etc


14:11

really starting with those basics and


14:12

then maybe first magnesium and stuff


14:15

and then maybe considering like


14:16

melatonin because i do see


14:19

i mean i have personal experience with


14:20

that my girlfriend and like a client as


14:23

well


14:24

a lot of people feel like a zombie the


14:26

next day


14:27

i know there are some brands out there


14:29

which i haven't


14:30

yet experienced yet


14:32

that supposedly don't do that but in


14:34

most cases a lot of people


14:36

feel like [ __ ] the next day so then it's


14:38

like is it really worth it or you know


14:40

yeah the dose is important um


14:44

usually like they say three milligrams


14:48

is


14:49

an appropriate dose


14:52

when it does start to impact your your


14:54

own productions when you're getting like


14:56

really high


14:57

some people get into like the 10


15:01

oh yeah there's clients like there's


15:05

nurses you know there's just some


15:06

instances where it they have to go


15:09

higher because they're like shift


15:10

working and stuff um


15:13

usually three is a good area to be in


15:16

but if you but you can also work your


15:18

way up to that


15:19

versus going like zero to three because


15:22

then you could start feeling groggy the


15:24

next day so you'll might just


15:27

drop it back down a little bit maybe a


15:29

little bit less


15:30

and then increase if needed


15:33

cool


15:34

yeah i think the one we have


15:36

it has like these tiny pills and it's


15:37

like 0.5 i believe so you can kind of


15:40

bring it up


15:41

which is kind of cool


15:43

um


15:44

but still


15:46

it's fine it seems to be fine but it's


15:49

really once again it depends on those


15:50

like you said and then also there are a


15:52

lot of factors out there that influence


15:55

sleep including stress and all that so


15:57

i would still


15:59

recommend first addressing your basic


16:01

lifestyle habits


16:02

yeah now that's it for supplements um


16:05

and lastly i wanted to give you guys the


16:08

best website out there examine.com i


16:10

love that website like literally for any


16:14

micronutrient all that good stuff like


16:16

i'll go to that website to check right


16:18

every supplement


16:19

that's where i go to learn about this


16:21

stuff that's the stuff i send my clients


16:23

to


16:24

check it out once again examine.com i'll


16:26

link it in the show notes too it's like


16:28

we're not affiliate or anything but


16:30

i know that we we both use that website


16:32

a whole lot it's it's great


16:34

that's where you'll see exactly what


16:36

something does


16:37

how much


16:38

the research says you probably


16:41

might want to consider taking i have to


16:43

be very careful saying that


16:45

and


16:46

it also breaks down the actual research


16:48

studies it's very cool so i definitely


16:50

suggest checking that out


16:52

all right next one


16:54

i work shift work and i'm struggling


16:56

with quality sleep suggestions slash


16:59

help


17:01

okay so this can look different


17:04

um


17:06

schedule wise for different people


17:08

depending on what they're doing


17:10

obviously


17:12

um


17:13

if you work out


17:15

i suggest


17:19

not working out right after your shift


17:22

so getting down your shift getting into


17:24

your sleep and then working out if that


17:27

works for you


17:28

just because


17:30

when you out increases cortisol and then


17:32

that can keep you up


17:34

right so it's


17:37

more than likely better for you to work


17:40

out after you get up


17:42

from your sleep after your shift


17:44

um


17:45

different things you can implement is


17:48

because like if you're going to sleep


17:51

when it's daylight out


17:53

you want to


17:54

make sure your room is really dark


17:57

um


17:58

so black blinds but something that i do


18:01

i do it every single night but i


18:03

implement with clients is a sleep mask


18:06

because it bla it really blacks


18:08

everything out so it can help a lot


18:11

um


18:12

[Music]


18:13

the supplementation can help right so


18:17

magnesium glycinate


18:18

um potentially melatonin like i'm not


18:21

telling you to take these things but


18:23

they can potentially help i'll leave


18:25

that up to you


18:27

um


18:28

and then sometimes like if you live in a


18:30

noisy area


18:32

trying to if you have like a noise


18:34

machine or something like that or if


18:36

there's like traffic like the white


18:38

noise can help with that


18:40

um


18:41

but it's it's figuring out a schedule


18:44

so there's trial and error that comes


18:47

with this


18:48

right so you want to try and keep a


18:50

consistent the most consistent schedule


18:53

that you can so have these


18:56

non-negotiables of like i'm going to be


18:58

in bed by this time like shut your


19:00

electronics off because that's going to


19:02

just keep you up


19:03

um


19:04

get into your bed you know try and get


19:06

to sleep and doing that consistently um


19:10

is really important


19:12

like just trying to keep things as


19:14

consistent as possible


19:16

with an inconsistent schedule


19:19

it's difficult um


19:21

where i live too we have a big hospital


19:23

there's a lot of nurses


19:24

a lot of nurse clients um


19:27

i have someone who does


19:29

constant shift works right yeah but he's


19:31

always on different shifts


19:33

and it's been very difficult to really


19:35

create one kind of


19:37

schedule for and follow but we're just


19:39

doing our best right we're working with


19:40

what we have right still been building


19:42

muscle and losing body fat he looks


19:44

pretty shredded right now actually


19:46

but it really comes down to trying to


19:48

decide your meal structure and still


19:51

trying to at least hit your meals


19:53

roughly around the same time it's going


19:55

to be difficult


19:56

but yeah if you can somewhat stick to a


19:59

frequent like feeding schedule that's


20:01

going to help massively too


20:03

yeah i just built out one for one of my


20:05

clients and


20:07

it's like okay let's try this and see if


20:09

it works if it doesn't we have to adjust


20:11

right you have to just like i said


20:13

there's trial and error


20:15

that goes with that and then once you


20:18

find something really sticking to it


20:21

totally


20:23

cool next question


20:25

from at a real sea bass


20:28

we'd love to hear more about alcohol and


20:30

diet


20:31

now this could really be a full episode


20:32

but we'll keep it short


20:34

[Music]


20:35

so


20:37

people are going to think i'm biased


20:38

here because i don't drink but


20:40

no i drink sometimes very rarely once in


20:44

a while which is totally cool i'm uh i'm


20:46

all for it i don't drink personally but


20:48

i'm all for you know people having a


20:50

drink if you're not then so first of all


20:52

first the bad news right then the good


20:54

news


20:55

so


20:56

drinking alcohol does have


20:58

some negative effects it does slow down


21:00

the metabolism quite a bit alcohol gives


21:02

you seven calories per gram but


21:05

it doesn't really keep you full right it


21:07

gives you quite a bit it does have a


21:09

high thermic effect so you do burn a lot


21:10

of calories you know digesting it


21:13

but it's not really uh much more than


21:16

just that right it's empty calories


21:19

once again i'm not trying to like


21:20

demonize alcohol here but that is how it


21:23

is no


21:24

does seem to influence your


21:26

decision-making right especially once


21:29

you get drunk you know food choices are


21:31

kind of like less important


21:33

and um


21:34

it's going to be very difficult


21:35

especially when you're in the deficit


21:37

right to kind of stick to it then


21:39

now it also negatively impacts


21:42

sleep


21:43

also muscle building etc


21:46

so that's my list of downsides right


21:49

because alcohol is a toxin it's


21:50

basically poison to the body and a good


21:52

analogy for this is a traffic accident


21:55

where


21:56

police comes in we have to stop traffic


21:58

like hang on like we first have to get


22:00

rid of this alcohol basically before the


22:03

traffic aka like the other important


22:05

processes like fat burning muscle


22:08

building etc


22:09

can actually continue


22:11

so think about that right


22:13

once alcohol enters the body it becomes


22:15

the priority to get rid of it asap


22:18

and then it'll pick up the rest


22:21

and that metabolic slowdown by the way


22:23

takes quite a while


22:24

but okay


22:25

that's all the downsides


22:27

something that's very important that we


22:29

have to mention as well


22:31

is that alcohol


22:32

gives you a good time right if people


22:34

enjoy having a drink whether that's


22:36

going to a party or just having a glass


22:38

of wine with a partner or going out for


22:40

dinner


22:41

that's maybe one way you really like to


22:43

de-stress


22:45

and that's super important especially


22:47

these days like you said everyone's


22:48

stress out of their mind so


22:51

so i always suggest if you really enjoy


22:53

that keep it in you know sure there are


22:56

some downsides


22:57

but the solution is moderation


23:00

yeah there's a difference between it


23:02

being a stress reliever and having 10


23:04

drinks versus being a stress reliever


23:06

and having one to two


23:09

definitely right like at that point it's


23:11

not a stress reliever yeah there needs


23:13

to be some other form of


23:15

of stress management there alcohol


23:18

inhibits


23:19

your judgment


23:21

which is going to affect your decision


23:23

making so typically


23:25

we don't make the best choices when we


23:27

are


23:28

drinking alcohol


23:29

uh


23:30

specifically with food because it


23:33

increases our appetite now we're all


23:35

buzzied up


23:37

and we're like i want everything


23:40

i want this and that like that's me i


23:42

get the munchies for sure so i have to


23:44

be like really careful if i


23:47

drink


23:48

because it can easily even if you're not


23:51

dieting but


23:52

more so when you are dieting


23:55

it can easily throw you out of a deficit


23:57

and now it's gonna hinder your


24:00

your progress and stall it out um


24:04

i drank


24:06

last weekend so i had five drinks


24:10

over the course of like six hours


24:13

and


24:14

i remember thinking to myself like


24:16

the next day i'm like this is this is


24:19

why alcohol sucks


24:21

i was lazy


24:22

i


24:23

didn't want to move my activity was way


24:25

less if i would have been feeling good i


24:28

would have been you know out on my walks


24:30

but my movement now is down my


24:31

activity's down i don't want a meal prep


24:35

i want to just go get takeout


24:39

like that's a problem


24:41

right so if we're having alcohol


24:44

frequently and we're feeling like this


24:46

frequently that's totally gonna impact


24:48

our health as a whole


24:50

um


24:52

and specifically if you are in a fat


24:54

loss phase again it's gonna it's gonna


24:56

stall that out


24:58

um


24:59

and then it has a direct impact on our


25:02

hormones so with decreasing testosterone


25:06

increasing to stop or increasing


25:08

estrogen


25:09

you know it's stressful for us so it's


25:11

gonna increase cortisol more or less


25:13

it's inflammatory


25:15

um so if you're d even if you're not


25:17

dealing with hormone issues it's gonna


25:20

affect that or can affect that if you


25:22

are it's like fuel to the fire


25:25

um


25:27

and got health issues same oh yeah


25:29

i mean the list goes wrong


25:31

you really have to wait out if you're


25:33

dealing with these things


25:35

is alcohol


25:37

really


25:38

appropriate for you probably not


25:41

probably not right


25:42

i i kept my list short-ish you know


25:46

because i don't necessarily want to


25:48

sound like anti-alcohol because i'm not


25:51

once again


25:52

but like


25:53

there's a lot of downsides you know


25:55

i'm not anti-alcohol because i drink


25:58

you know once in a while but like


26:00

i had


26:02

clients i think i talked about this on


26:04

one of the other podcasts like


26:07

they didn't track their alcohol you


26:10

showed me that on the you


26:12

asked


26:13

yeah and i posted it actually on my


26:14

instagram story


26:16

and i asked you know how much alcohol


26:19

did you have because she was taking a


26:20

day off of tracking but she had alcohol


26:23

so i'm like so how much alcohol did you


26:25

have


26:27

and she listed it out and it ended up


26:29

being about a thousand calories just in


26:32

alcohol and actually it was more than


26:35

that because i had logged just her shots


26:38

of the t of the tequila or vodka or


26:41

whatever she had


26:42

and uh she actually had that with


26:45

like they were like in a juice or


26:47

something like that so there was more


26:49

calories on top of that so just alone


26:51

like a night out of drinking can be


26:54

frick


26:55

1200 1500 calories more than that now


26:58

you're adding the food you had before


27:00

now you're adding the munchies and


27:03

the food you're eating after you're all


27:05

buzzed up


27:08

it's kind of a recipe for disaster


27:10

yeah it kinda is you know i hate to say


27:13

it but i'm not gonna sugarcoat it really


27:16

and we won't and uh


27:18

you know we're always honest with it


27:20

with this stuff you know and


27:22

which is important because at the end of


27:24

the day it is your decision you know


27:25

like what do you want to do like


27:27

do you really want to get as jacked as


27:28

possible do you want to perform at the


27:30

highest level


27:32

or is that stuff less important like it


27:34

all


27:35

you know matters for how much you should


27:37

be drinking if not any at all you know


27:40

because


27:41

you know depending like for example say


27:43

you'd be still competing


27:45

but you also want to get drunk every


27:47

weekend


27:48

i would have to tell you like hey maybe


27:50

not a good idea maybe let's just stop


27:51

doing that all together because this is


27:53

not adding up you know


27:55

and that's why we just have to be


27:56

realistic


27:57

and um


27:58

and be okay with that too you know you


28:00

can't have it all all the time at least


28:02

you know right


28:04

right thank you guys thanks for
