Transcript

Andreas, welcome to the show. Thank you for having me on your podcast. Yeah, of course, bro. Real quick, real quick. How long have you been into quantum biology and how long have you been studying studying this?

To be honest, I think I've been into it roughly around four to five years now, because I've been on my fitness journey a long time and coaching people quite a while, but only because of some health struggles of my personal health struggles and health struggles of my of my partner, Tina, then we had to, you know, die down this rabbit hole. So approximately four to five years. Yeah. Okay, let's let's flesh that out a good amount.

So you have a health journey pre quantum biology, your partner, your own health struggles. Yeah, feel free to talk about like, you know, how when we look back in our lives, in hindsight, and we see how the dominoes kind of laid out perfectly, you know, each key moment just led to each other. How this thing led you to discover this rabbit hole and how the limitations of that one led you to the next one, you know.

Yeah, talk to me about those key moments and tell me like how your journey has unfolded from exercise to this quantum biology. And yeah, really like set the context for us of where you think from. Okay, so I'll tell you a little bit about how it started, how I got into the circadian quantum biology space. The beginning when I started getting into it, I wasn't aware that I was actually diving into that particular space. All I all I saw was all red was that, you know, blue light is harmful for us.

And my partner and myself, we were having symptoms of blue light toxicity and non native EMF, non native electromagnetic field toxicity. And we were unaware of this.

And as soon as I started diving into, you know, the different symptoms of those things, which is like, you know, dry eyes, headache, you know, not recovering from workouts, not feeling good, lacking energy, waking up feeling lethargic, even though we're both sleeping eight hours every night, both of us eating, you know, high quality food, both of us exercising. But what is the missing piece here? There's got to be something missing.

But if both of us are health experts in this field, we kind of felt that, you know, there must be something else that we are missing in this space. Of course, we both lived in moldy apartments in the past. So that was a huge issue as well that we had developed mold toxicity as well. So we had accumulated mold in our system. So that was another thing that we had to address over time, you know, by taking binders and things that will release the mold into the system and get it out.

But once we kind of address that and we started to feel better in our lungs and in our overall, you know, detoxification system, we still didn't feel optimal. So we figured out that light plays a huge role. So the first thing that we did was to, you know, to address this was to start with the lowest hanging fruit.

So we both bought a pair of nighttime blue light blockers, the red ones, and that made a huge difference to our quality of sleep and also how, you know, how when we woke up, we felt so much more refreshed.

But that only took us so far, you know, to a certain point, because we didn't realize that actually the being overexposed to blue light during the daytime as well, not only in the night is a huge issue because there is a reason why the sun goes from red orange to pink white in the middle of the day and kind of reverses this pattern towards sunset hours. So what we are doing with modern lighting right now, we are just mimicking midday sun all day.

And this is a huge issue for the entire body and especially the nervous system.

And so because we obviously have been working in gyms for many years and the gym environment or in general is especially as technology has progressed over time has become more artificially blue and the non-native electromagnetic fields have increased exponentially with all the smart meters everywhere, smart TVs, smart speakers, everything is Bluetooth, you know, and we've got everybody else's cell phones around us in the gym.

Even if we are not carrying those devices on us, we're still exposed to the web or this soup of electromagnetic fields. So after that, we invested in a pair of daytime blue light blocking glasses because we realized that, you know, we kind of blocked the blue light only in the night. So we started blocking it during the daytime as well with the yellow ones, which kind of mimics, you know, a little bit more softer orange light. And that made a huge difference to how we felt throughout the day.

You know, we felt an ease in our nervous system, our brain felt more relaxed. We didn't feel so fried at the end of our working day, even though our working day wasn't that long. We only worked a couple of hours here and there because as coaches, we are entrepreneurs. So we decide our own schedule. Sometimes we coached in the morning time. Sometimes we coached in the evening hours.

But now that we know all of this, we never coaching the evening hours because, you know, we acknowledge that we want to avoid artificial light as much as possible. We want to take our coaching outdoors as much as we can, and, you know, we want to live in alignment with nature. So that is the lowest hanging fruits that we aimed at at the beginning.

But then we dove deeper into optimizing then our home environment, the lighting in our home to try and mimic what's happening in nature, you know, replacing our our lights, what we're using after after sunset hours. What are we doing if we wake up before sunrise and all of this and also waking up with the sunrise and going as close to bed with the sunset as well. So that's that's a little bit about how we kind of go into this space.

But how this has transformed my coaching is incredible because it's not only transformed our health, but it's transformed the health of my clients as well, because now I pass on this information to my client as a prerequisite, as a foundation before we even discuss about nutrition, before we even discuss about exercise. I tell people, do you block the blue light at night? Do you turn your Wi-Fi up when you go to bed?

You know, are you what's your working environment like in your office or if you work in an office? How is your home environment? So I'm a big believer in accumulative load. So if a person is spending the majority of their time in these toxic environments, they will most likely accumulate toxicity of a specific thing with anything. It can be more toxicity, chemical toxicity. It can be, you know, blue light toxicity, non-native EMF. And this all presents itself in symptoms of the body.

And it's just very important that we become aware of those symptoms and the very first signs before it goes too far and not even have to experience those symptoms if we don't have to. So it has truly transformed the way that I approach fitness and exercise. A lot of veins we could touch on there, but you are, you're unique. I've always wanted to talk about quantum biology with a person who specializes in exercise because you have this umbrella of quantum biology.

You're connecting with nature and then you realize everyone's disconnected from nature. And then you kind of, it's weird. You're like, your own mind seems like inverted compared to everybody else's because things will stand out to you that nobody really like adds an eye to. So as an exercise guy, when you, when I think about the gyms now, as you were describing me, okay, sympathetic overdrive, you're already stressing your body out with exercise, which is good in and of itself, fine.

But before quantum biology, I just kind of saw like, oh, this is a setting, it's harmless. But now, now we know about the lights, all these lights that are stressful by themselves. You know, they peak your cortisol already. You live under them all day. Then you go to the gym, jack up your cortisol even more. Then you add the non-native EMF, everyone's phones, smart meters. The light is a non-native EMF and AirPods. These are air tubes, thankfully. Everyone's Bluetooth headphones.

And yeah, you said the dose makes like the dosage and the exposure time will, you know, that makes the damage, right? So when you add all that up and you're doing it a lot, you're working out regularly. People see exercise as like a positive thing and it definitely is. But the environment in which we do it in, like, oh my gosh, it's wild to think about. And when you said you block blue light first, you do all that stuff first. Like that's the prerequisite.

That is very, very much backwards to what a normal person would think. They think that stuff's the supplementary stuff. And we're like, no, no, take care of light first. So that sounds crazy initially, but as you walked us through, it's critical, right? So talk to us like how these things, these non-natural things in our environment add to the load on our bodies, right? We're already exercising, but it's just making it worse with all the other non-native EMFs around us.

Take the listener from this sounds crazy to this makes sense. Okay. Right. So I like to look at the body like a bucket. So we have a certain amount of stress or load that we can take in our system. And we need to consider everything that we do in life. What are the things that are impacting our system in a negative way?

And anything that is not natural to us, to our biology that didn't exist more than a hundred years ago or 200 or even 50 years ago, which is like insane to say, especially now when it comes to certain foods or chemicals are going to be a stressor of the system. And when we are loading that book, it, and we are filling it more and more, it's so much easier for it to overflow. What happens when we go in, when we overflow the book, we actually go into burnout.

Some people say they've had a burnout and they feel frightened. They can't get out of bed. They don't have motivation for life. They don't have energy. They literally feel like they can't lift their limbs to do any exercise. That's because their body has used all of their resources towards trying to heal and repair the body. It's constantly battling and fighting those environmental stressors that we are exposed to right now.

And this is why we need to think about exercise as a last thing on the list for the reason being that if you don't have the energy to exercise, like imagine placing even extra load on your system when you don't already have the energy that presence actually assist you in this journey, what's going to happen is you're going to feel totally trashed and you're going to be wondering, is this how exercise is supposed to make me feel? You get discouraged by exercise itself.

You think it's the exercise, the problem, and then you just quit exercising because you think that that's what exercise does to you, that exercise is not for you or running is not for you. You probably hear so many people say, oh, exercise is not for me. I don't feel so good when I'm running. Well, that's because you haven't optimized your internal environment by optimizing your external environment.

And by external environment can be the food that we eat because then that eventually becomes an internal environment as well. So everything is a stressor, the type of light that we are exposed to from the type of food we consume to the type of cleaning products we use in our homes, whether that is chemical products or natural products, the type of skincare and self-care products we put on our body because the skin is one of the largest organs of the body, right?

So it's absorbing everything in the system. So all of these, if we think about it, they're all adding on top of each other. And if our book, it overflows, you know, we're going to reach a burnout point and then we're going to feel totally trashed. And then if we add stressful, high intensity exercise, because most individuals think that the harder, the better when it comes to exercise, which is also a wrong approach that is going to totally push us over into a sympathetic overdrive.

And it's going to be very hard then to come back to a parasympathetic state, which is actually where healing, detoxification and repair of the body actually occurs is when you're in a parasympathetic state. So imagine that even if you are trying to go into a parasympathetic state, but your environment or everything that you're doing or that you're not aware of is actually not allowing you to go there. Yeah. So this is the current situation we're in.

We're just surrounded by a lot of sympathetic stressors, right? And so as quantum biologists, followers, we all share this, these are bucket of practices, block blue light, night, see the sunrise, ground, all these practices. Talk to us about how these practices will uplift the parasympathetic side of things and resolve. So basically, I get it. So basically what happens is when we support our system, from a circadian point of view, this is what we did.

Ancestorly, we live always in alignment with nature. When we look at our ancestors who lived outside, who didn't live inside houses, who lived in, let's say these teepees, they were constantly grounded to the ground. They were wearing barefoot shoes or they were wearing leather shoes made from skin of animals, which still allows the free electrons to enter or to go into the body. So electrons always flow from a concentration of, from a high concentration to a low concentration.

So that means if your body is low in electrons and the earth is higher in electrons than you are, you are going to be able to collect electrons through your feet. And once you have excess, you will also be donating back to the ground. So you will be discharging the body. So you are not over stimulating the body either, because there always has to be like this perfect balance, this perfect ratio.

And when we live in alignment with nature, when we are outside, waking up with the sunrise, we are programming, we are setting the tone for the day. We are telling our body what it needs to do in terms of hormone release and energy production. And so this is going to set our circadian rhythm so that we are able to also fall asleep easier at night. So melatonin is actually a hormone of daylight.

So we need daylight to be able to produce melatonin, which is our sleeping hormone, our repair hormone. And everything happens, you know, the healing and repair happens because of melatonin.

And so if that is not working, then we start developing issues like, you know, tumor growth and things that we don't actually want happening inside of the body, because the body cannot simply get rid of, you know, mutated cells, cells that are going haywire from, you know, dying or encountering stress throughout the day. And then, you know, the body's not doing what it's meant to do. So now we're accumulating many, many zombie cells, many mutated cells in the body.

We are not getting rid of dead cells. So we're accumulating a lot of trash inside the system. And what we are doing now, we are promoting the system to be able to still survive because the body just simply cares about survival. It doesn't care about anything else. So thriving is a bonus, but all it cares is about survival. So it's just constantly aiming to keep us alive and to keep us alive. It will simply replicate those mutated cells to keep us going, even though the program is not ideal.

So by living with the laws of nature and being grounded all the time, we are discharging that excess electricity that we are accumulating from the environment. Now we're exposed to so many non-native electromagnetic fields from cell towers, phones, anything electronic, which is giving off, you know, dirty electricity, the wiring in the walls, anything like this. We need to go to the ground to discharge a little bit like a lightning rod.

Like a lightning rod receives the lightning and it puts it into the ground, except we are not, because we are not grounded, we are not getting rid of that excess accumulated electricity. So it's a little bit like drinking coffee, we're drinking coffee all the time. And so our nervous system is constantly stimulated. And then when you add blue light, non-native blue light on top of that, because blue light from the sun is actually a really good thing, right?

It creates this alertness and it always comes with the full spectrum. So it comes, you know, with the near infrared, the red light that comes with the UV. So you've got that perfect balance of the midday sun is giving you all of those other things. So it's coming complete as a non-processed light. So we can consider artificial light as processed, like junk food, like junk light. And then we've got like the full spectrum, which is the real organic light, you know?

And that's also stressing our system, you know, when anything that is basically non-native or foreign to our body is actually going to be a stressor. So this is going to be something that if we address, we are going to transform our life massively. Yes. And let's talk about that. So you've been a coach for quite a bit, quite a long time. And you said the moment you implemented this as your foundation for your clients and yourself, massive results occurred, right?

So I'm sure you have a bank of experience for pre-quantum biology coaching, how your clients did and how they were, what problems they had, and then post-quantum biology and applying it with them. Can you describe like the differences in what you've seen, how it's transformed their lives and how the results have been more, you know, beneficial? Well before we did get good results as well, it just was way harder to achieve.

So what I noticed that one of the biggest things that I noticed with my clients is that now everything that we're trying to achieve happens at a way faster rate. So we're able to build muscle faster, we're able to lose fat faster, which is amazing because so many individuals come to me because they want to lose weight, they want to get in shape, but they also want to thrive, right?

And if we are having minimal body fat, but enough for the body to have like healthy hormone levels, we are really able to thrive because a fat free body is not just for appearance, it's actually for function. This is actually essential, you know? And when we are incorporating the circadian biology principles, we are actually aligning our body with the way that nature intended.

So our body is starting to optimize the hormones and the hormones played a huge role in our outcomes, whether that is building muscle, losing weight, you know, controlling or reducing our stress levels, sleeping better at night. All of these things are having a knock on a thing to each other. So I just noticed that within myself, as I got more tanned, I actually got leaner, which is like the craziest thing because who would have thought a tan means being leaner or being more shredded.

So I noticed the exact same thing with my clients. Every time summer came around and we did not consume excess carbohydrate rich foods, so foods which are high in deuterium, and we kept it more of a ketogenic style and then we had excess UV light, we incorporated more cold exposure, waking up with the sunrise, you know, being exposed to, you know, the red light of the sun, getting red light therapy basically from the sun.

They were seeing incredible results, you know, and they were most importantly, they were feeling amazing, even though, let's say they didn't reach their end goal yet, they were able to feel good way quicker before they even got there. So they were actually enjoying the journey because they felt good.

Whereas previously, they were suffering, you know, they had to stay extremely disciplined to be able to stay committed and consistent because we're working almost against our biology if we're not addressing the environment, right? So we're, as we mentioned previously, you know, when your body is under more load, your body doesn't actually want to do the hard things. It wants to avoid the hard things because your body's under already a lot of stress.

But if you don't have so much stress in your life from all these things that people are unaware of, because people think of stress as something that, oh, I'm stressed, you know, mentally, both physical stress and mental stress, the body can't tell the difference between the two. It's the same. It's all about the accumulative load. And once that load exceeds a certain point, then, you know, you're gonna, you're not gonna feel optimal.

So as soon as you incorporate circadian and quantum biology practices into your life, you start to realize that I have more energy without doing anything. And now I have energy to go for a walk. I have energy to go for a run. I feel more motivated. I have the desire to be healthier without trying to be healthy because the environment is supporting that. Right. I see a lot of, if you want to change your body composition, change your, you know, get those fitness results you're looking for.

It seems like, man, you have to really dial down and be straight edged, just sacrifice anything pleasurable in your life just to get to that end goal. But it does seem quantum biology does give us a lot of leeway. That's a loosely use that word leeway, but it just facilitates that process of making everything easier. But of course we still have to apply ourselves. Right. Of course. It's cool. Yeah. It's awesome.

Cause you have like a unique sample size because, Andreas, like when I look at professional athletes and you know, big leagues, they're playing in these stadiums with 19,000 people. Everyone has their phones out. It's at 9 PM and ACL tears and meniscus tears, all these things are pretty frequent now. And I'm thinking, man, these guys are playing in an oven, man. Like, yet they're performing so well.

How much better would they perform if they performed, if they put some red light in that stadium, if they had a no phone policy, maybe like something to help with that, maybe played at 2 PM instead of 9. It's just, when you think of the implications for athletic performance in this exercise space, there's so much room to improve. And you've seen, you've seen how this thing, this paradigm applied to this area of exercise can improve it.

So imagine, imagine a world where athletics is congruent with this. You know, I'm sure you've thought and chewed on this subject. Yes. You know, applied worldwide. So just talk to us about that, those ruminations. So, you know, I thought that it's just so simple for people to actually, you know, enjoy this type of sports in a way healthier way and for athletes to be healthy as well so they don't get injured. The athlete topic is very deep, right?

So it's not only tied to light or the non-native electromagnetic field, because I have insights into this, into this industry and into the sports industry and the fitness in general. I know what they do with athletes and what they do is they over train them like crazy.

And that is a huge issue because every single person that you see performing worldwide at the Olympic Games or where they're doing some big sports on TV, if you see them on TV and they are getting paid, they are getting paid to train and they are not allowed to not train. So that means that the coaches, they always force the athletes to train even if they are injured, even if they are minorly injured, even if they are not feeling their best.

So they are constantly over, you know, putting them in sympathetic overdrive all the time by over exercising. So thinking that it's going to yield in better results because they want their team, they want a good reputation for themselves, the coach. They don't care about the athletes, right? And so then, of course, the athletes love it when they win. But then in the procedure when they are preparing for that, no one is enjoying the process. Only everyone is hating the process.

And not only that, but you have the you have all their gyms where they are training and usually they're training super early in the morning, four or five o'clock in the morning, you know, they're doing things that erasing the cortisol like crazy at wrong times of the day, destroying their melatonin levels and destroying their circadian rhythms overall. Most people they are wondering or athletes that wonder why they can't sleep.

So all of this, this accumulative load, even before they step on the big game, when they are actually going against somebody else, you know, especially when it has to do with contact sports, you're going to see huge injuries even in non contact sports, which is the most incredible things like, you know, tennis, golf or anything that is non contact, meaning that you're not going to be battling against somebody else's body.

People are still getting injured, and the reason is because the body is so dehydrated on a cellular level. And this is because the mitochondria actually make mitochondrial water. And this water is actually what is hydrating, keeping our body hydrated without thinking even about drinking water. But it's what we actually make internally. And the body is only able to make that water when we are living with the laws of nature.

But if we start to break those laws, if we start to introduce midday sun in the morning and in the night when it's not supposed to be there, it's not even a sun, it's an insult to the sun to call it the sun. But you know, it's called the blue light in the in the morning and in the nighttime. And also we add the non native electromagnetic fields, the radiation that comes from all the places to the body.

What happens is it's like, you know, we're becoming like a dried steak, as Dr. Jack Cruz says, that when you put steak in a microwave, it gets all like hard and leathery, right. And the reason is because, you know, it's vibrating those molecules and it's generating heat inside. And that's literally what's happening to us all the time. And as I mentioned previously, it's about the accumulative load.

So the more time you are spending in those environments, which athletes are doing, they are spending a lot of time trying to, you know, work out, then they're going to these recovery facilities, which are also blue lit, you know, which I mean, they should be, you know, knowing better, you know, the people who are having recovery facilities, they should be aiming to having full spectrum light as much as they can inside or mimicking the sunlight,

you know, type of light indoors, they should be aiming to optimize all of this, if they actually want people to to feel the best and the clients feel the best. So so yeah, it's very, this topic goes extremely deep. And it's just so simple for people to fix this. All they need to do is to fix their home environment where they spend the majority of the time, fix their lighting in their home, make it more circadian and appropriate. Like what's happening with the sun outside?

Okay, is the sun more blue now outside? I'm going to have more of a white orangey light bulb on now. But when it's like going, you know, more to the afternoon time, now it's starting to become more orange, then after sunset, it's going to become more red.

So I should be having different types of lighting in my home, where I'm mimicking the position of the sun and also the light of the sun as well to be able to stay as much in the rhythm of nature as possible, because I understand most people cannot take their entire life outdoors. So it's important that we bring the outdoors inside.

And so we try to mimic the outdoor environment, you know, open the windows of our house, allow the full spectrum light to come in, even if the light is not hitting direct in the house, it's still washing out, you know, any of the artificial lighting that we have on in the house. And also, we don't maybe don't need to have lighting on at all if we open the windows as well. So it's that simple.

And you know, they don't need to have, you know, everything, radiation, you know, blasting, you know, especially in the stadiums, they could have everything wired because there's absolutely no reason for it to be, you know, wireless these days, you know, you've got you can just have a simple wiring system.

And maybe you can have one system where it's, you know, giving out radiation instead of a billion different systems, you know, and causing this, this soup of non native electromagnetic fields, which is not only frying the athletes, but it's frying everybody in those in those places. Yeah, I can tell I hit a passion point right there. That's why I'm passionate about it too, because I see the same thing.

Well, like, so there, I can see the argument of, all right, if everything you guys are saying is directionally accurate, then why are these athletes performing so well, even despite what you're saying? And I think that's like a sure sighted argument, because if you split this thing into two time tracks, one you go normal, they have elite performance great. But if you split it the other way and apply everything we've been talking about, they're going to perform better.

And that's, that is without a doubt, you introduce the parasympathetic elements introduce red light, any amount of red light, because we're all so deficient in it. You do all that stuff, their performance is going to improve even more. So I don't understand the validity of that argument. Like, oh, everything seems good, even despite all the flaws we're pointing out. But there's more room to improve. And it's not like it's a little bit.

From what you've described, it's like an entire paradigm needs to be completely overturned. And it's amazing that we're getting athletic performances, the accomplishments that we're getting these days, testament to the athletes, despite the overtraining, despite the crazy environments that they're in. The human body is able to push and be resilient in despite of it. But there's way more room, I think the sky's the limit.

If we start incorporating this stuff, and the implications of, of this to people's individual lives and to entire nations and industries, it all applies equally. And that speaks to the weight of the paradigm. That's why I love it so much. So passionate about it. And it's always cool to connect with people who have their own unique specializations. Yours is exercise and athletics. And maybe perhaps I'll talk to a parent, a teacher who sees it in their schools.

Dr. Cruz sees it in his patients in the hospitals. It's everywhere. And Buck Minister Fuller said, if you want to change a paradigm, you got to burn it down. And that's, that's what we got to do by changing it, having these conversations. So yeah, man. Love that spiel. Elbert training in addition to the blue light. Guys, blue light at night with 19,000 phones. It's crazy. It's just blows my mind. But you know, one step at a time, one step at a time.

So remember that these people also, the majority of the world right now, especially what has happened over these last couple of years, as you have been very much aware, we have all or many individuals have put things inside of their bodies, which are potentially harmful to the system. And previously, this is like has an accumulative load on the body. So again, another stressor on top of all the other stressors, people are not seeing it in this way.

I would never put something inside of my body, which I don't know what it has inside. I would never drink some chlorine from a bottle that cleans the kitchen. So why would I actually use that chlorine and let it contact my skin, which is going to go eventually into my bloodstream anyway?

So the thing is that we need to be very much aware of what we are doing, the accumulative load that we are placing on our body, because there are sometimes there are some certain things that once you push your body over the limit, it can lead to very detrimental results. And as you know, what you mentioned about how athletes are, how come athletes are still performing so well, even though they're in these environments? Well, you know, they can perform so well.

But do you consider that as performing well when an athlete is very easily prone to injury? Then that means that, you know, they're actually not performing well. Yeah, maybe they have a top speed, maybe they can jump high, they can do all of this stuff. But what if they are not feeling confident inside of their body? What if they are actually, they know deeply inside that my body at any moment is going to snap, but I need to perform because I'm getting paid for this.

And this is something that needs to be brought to the awareness of the public. Because the thing is that I feel I have a tremendous amount of respect for the athletes who are actually doing this, because I have actually worked with some athletes in Finland, who are actually, you know, top football players. And they were telling me that, you know, I was telling them, why don't you take time off? They were saying to me, I can't, my coach is telling me I need to do.

And you know, they had like so many issues. And I was saying that, you know, okay, I tried to help them as much as I can with the mobility and on the exercise side of things before I was aware of the circadian biology and quantum health. Otherwise, I would have introduced that to them as well, for sure.

But I did help them massively, you know, just by working on things that they didn't work on, you know, with their coaches, which is, you know, focusing more on, you know, take self care, you know, outside of the training, trying to take care of yourself as much as you can, and not just, you know, lay around and just expect that recovery happens when you just lay on the couch and scroll your phone and watch movies. That's not how recovery happens.

You know, the more proactive you are, the more things you do to assist your recovery process, the better you're going to be. But of course, recovery also takes time. So if you're training every single day, inevitably, you will reach a point of over training. Have you ever post quantum biology awakening? Has any athlete come to you? Have you worked with people in an athletic performance context? Or is it just not yet? Not yet.

No, no, no. Now I've mainly drawn people who have like had health conditions, people who have had issues, you know, osteoarthritis or osteoporosis, people who have had issues with their movement capabilities. And I've helped them address the circadian biology and their nutrition by going, you know, ancestrally appropriate diet, which is low in deuterium and mainly high, high fat and high protein. And then we also added the exercise on top of that. And they've seen incredible results.

And I love to work with people like that, because, you know, for me to improve the quality of life of a person who wasn't able to live life, you know, to the fullest before is so rewarding. But I do enjoy working with athletes as well, because it's kind of fun to see how much more can they actually improve from where they are right now. Yeah. No, if you're a fitness practitioner, it behooves you to implement this paradigm, because Andreas himself said it makes the whole process easier.

I don't, it's kind of mind blowing to me that a lot of people who personal trainer or coaches in this space, they don't know what leptin is, and they don't know what light is. And I'm just like, Whoa, that's a key first principle. If you want to understand weight loss and all this stuff. But yeah, very, such an applicable paradigm. I love it. Let's talk about fat loss a little bit. Because I think this is this is huge, right? And this is something that interests everybody.

And this is also something very important for coaches to hear as well. So if you're a coach out there, you need to consider the lighting environment of your clients. You also need to consider the toxin load of the environment as well.

And by toxin load is all the things that we mentioned earlier in the podcast, which is all your cleaning products, all the things that you are exposed to in your environment, like anything, you know, even if you live in a city, which is highly polluted, then you have and you are also using toxic cleaning products, toxic cosmetics on your body. That's going to create like a toxic load inside of the body, right? The solution to pollution is dilution. That's what the body does.

So when there is pollution inside of the body, the body dilutes that because it doesn't want it to be dangerous to the body. So if it's got a lot of toxins, a lot of pollutants inside of the system, it's going to dilute it in the lymphatic system. So why do many individuals experience bloating or swelling even if they think that they're healthy? Well, maybe they need to consider these things because that is actually going to make you lose a ton of weight without even losing fat, right?

That's just the fluid that you have accumulated because of your toxic load. And then when you add non-native electromagnetic fields on top of that from the Wi-Fi, cell phones, computers, everything like this, then your body is going to be in a high cortisol state so we're never going to be in a parasympathetic state. So we're not going to be able to detoxify the body.

So detoxification in general, if it's overloaded and then it's impaired, even if your client does lose some fat and you're wondering why have they plateaued? Why are they not losing more weight even though they're doing their cardio, they've restricted their energy intake, they're exercising more, so they're doing all the things which is raising cortisol more, by the way. And then, yeah, and then so we're not basically detoxifying the body. So detox is huge.

I know that word is like really overused and it's been vilified because of all these detox supplements that exist out there, but the detox mechanism of the body, the body doesn't need assistance from exogenous substances to detoxify. What it needs is for you to allow the body to do what it's meant to do. So by living in alignment with nature, we're actually allowing the body to detoxify.

We're allowing the lymphatic system to flow around the body effortlessly, gather toxins and dead cells and things that need to be excreted through our detoxification systems, which is sweating, breathing, going to the bathroom, all of these ways that we can detoxify the body. So by simply assisting our system by changing our environment, the toxin load, the lighting, all of this, we're going to see a massive amount of weight loss without exercising and without changing the nutrition.

So let's add in there the good nutrition, which is going to be like non-processed foods ideally because there are many coaches who focus a lot on if it fits your macros, which is if it fits in the amount of energy that you're allowed in a day, you can eat whatever you want and you're still going to lose weight. Yeah, it does work to some extent, but then you're overloading your body with things that then later on it has to get rid of.

And so then you're not seeing what's going to happen in the long term. Maybe in the short term it works, but then in the long term, it's not going to work for health because we're going to get other symptoms like skin issues, joint pain, brain fog, or kidney-gut issues and all of this. Yep. Andreas gave you guys four or five keys there that are if you're experiencing a client or yourself with weight loss plateau, fat loss plateau, there you go.

There's some other avenues right off the bat that are completely overlooked and just not in the awareness of the normal interventions we all take, diet, exercise. There's other ways and it doesn't have to be difficult. So love that you started that thread. Thank you. Andreas recently made a big move to Costa Rica. He lived in Cyprus, right? Initially. Oh yeah. He initially lived in Cyprus and then this has been a recent move to Costa Rica.

This is the biggest, we talk about the little interventions you can do, block blue light, see the sunrise, all the typical quantum biology practices all of us recommend, but this is the biggest one you could do is literally move into an entirely more supportive environment. So talk to us about Cyprus, how that was like, of course you made the best you could do with it, but how has it been in Costa Rica? How have you been feeling? How has that optimized it, optimize your health even further?

Just talk to us about this transition you recently made. So the reason why I actually came here was because it's always been my dream to live in alignment with nature as much as possible. And it is possible to do that in Cyprus as well. It's just that here you can just see around you, everything is flourishing, right? So clearly the electromagnetism is supporting life here, the native electromagnetic fields of the ground. So everything is thriving. You have like fruits growing everywhere.

So we have of course a lot of deuterium, which we are not meant to consume because it's meant to be for the animals, but the electromagnetism here is incredible. So the human resonance of the earth is stronger. The sea here is amazing. The climate is beautiful. And the reason why I came here is because I want to be able to make it as easy as possible for myself to gain access to a natural environment and to be able to be outdoors as much as possible.

Because I am, I didn't realize I was an outdoor person until I figured out that I have to do this stuff for my health. So now I simply just love the outdoors because it's just another good excuse to be outside and to enjoy the nature. And at the same time, I can get my movements in and connect with like-minded individuals. And in Cyprus, the summers are incredible. The temperatures may reach up to 45 degrees Celsius, which is quite warm, quite hot.

Whereas here the maximum is around 30 degrees Celsius. So it's actually not as hot as Cyprus, but funnily enough, I actually get more time here than I do there, even though I do the same practices. So it's really strange. I don't know what it has to do with. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I'm able to access a grounding environment now a little bit easier because I have the beach right across me, you know, 50 meters from me right here.

So I go basically on the beach every single morning with the sunrise and I expose my eyes to the sun. And this has always been my dream to be able to walk to the beach for the sunrise and get grounded and live in alignment with the circadian rules and spend as much time outdoors as I can. So this is the reason why I made the move. And this environment is extremely supportive for life because if you just simply look around you, everything is thriving.

You've got all these tropical fruits, animals, you know, things that you want to see and potentially don't want to see like snakes and crocodiles and all this all this kind of stuff. So you can see that if life is supported, that means that it's actually allowing you to thrive in this environment. So if life is overflowing and overgrowing, that means that there is a positive or rather negative electrons overflowing in the environment. So we're very electron rich in this environment.

So the further away we are from the equator, the more electron depleted the environment is. However, if we make the efforts to connect with the ground, you know, with the grass and with the sea, we can still gather electrons. It's just that whether even if I'm not in contact with the ground, I'm still getting so much benefit just from the electromagnetism in the environment. Yeah, that's the ultimate dream right there.

Full disclosure, you guys, I personally want to move to the Yucatan Peninsula within the next five to 10 years. Just that get that stable light, light frequency, stable light environment year round. I am from the Philippines, so I thrive in sun, tropical environments like, yeah, I don't think I'll do well in a northern like Cyprus, maybe Finland even. So I just wanted to get that from Andreas because this is kind of my dream.

And I'm sure everyone who's come across quantum biology has thought of, yeah, I should make a move to somewhere more well lit, more less non-native emf polluted and really change my life just by location because you put in all this effort in your home environment, but you're in, you're in Texas and it's an urban city. So you're kind of capped a little bit right off the bat, but he just has all the access to nature's power without all the static.

So it's wonderful seeing someone live it in real time and it's inspirational for everyone who wishes to follow suit. You know, let's talk about people who actually can't move, you know, from where they are currently living because I think that's super important, right? If you can't move, you're not doomed or screwed or something. You can just do the best that you can. Let's talk about people who are living in very Nordic countries because I used to live in Finland also.

So when I was in Finland, what I did was I just made sure that I optimized my home lighting as much as possible, made it circadian appropriate as possible, changing throughout different times of the day, mimicking the sun there, the sunrise and the sunset, being outside as much as I could, being exposed, embracing the cold because cold is actually allowing us to make light stronger than the sun inside of us. So this is actually helping us to replace the sun in a cold environment.

So this is why if we are living in a cold environment, it's super important to embrace cold exposure. Saunas are incredible. We need to embrace red light therapy, you know, so we make sure we get that red light. So we're trying to do everything that we can to mimic nature in a way and to be as close to nature as possible and to also take care of our diet because if pineapples, mangoes and papayas are not growing in Nordic countries, you probably shouldn't be eating those.

But the reason being that if you look in your environment like in Finland, the only thing that really grows, especially in the wintertime, or well nothing really grows, but in the summertime, it's more like berries and those are frozen and people eat them sometimes later on. So that's obviously not ideal.

So you always want to go with the season and also with the location of where you're living in the world in terms of what you are actually consuming because that is also giving your body information, not only from the light that we receive and the intensity of the light, but also what are we putting inside of our body, the program that we are showing our system. It's reconfirming to us, is it winter, is it summer, is it autumn, is it spring?

Because I don't believe only in circadian rhythms, daily circadian rhythms, but seasonal circadian rhythms and also like a year circadian rhythm that the body knows that what it needs to do at certain times of the year, how it needs to adjust your skin color even without even thinking about the sun or just based on what other things are we doing. Are we mimicking nature and the environment that we're living in? Yeah, you're not doomed if you are not in the equator.

Yeah, you just have to do the best that you can. Blocking the blue light is a non-negotiable. I mean, I can get away with being exposed to blue light because I have so much excess UV light in my environment and so much electromagnetism from the ground that I can discharge a lot of that and get away with it. But I still don't want to do that to my body. It's just my choice. I want to be as optimal as possible.

But if you are living in a country which is far away from the equator where it's colder and darker, you have to block the blue light. You have to shield yourself from non-native electromagnetic fields because your body is not forgiving because you already your body is in more of a... You have less leeway in a way.

So you have to make sure that you're really taking care of those things because your body will show you symptoms of toxicity of those things way quicker than if you were here on the equator. Why is it so that you could eat fruits here on the equator and not eat fruits somewhere which is in a Nordic country? And in a Nordic country, you would actually gain weight, but here you are less likely to gain weight even though you eat the same thing. So that just shows you that how important it is.

Yeah, I know geographical location, light water magnetism, they all play a role. This person loses weight easily. This one doesn't. Such a big myriad, like a large myriad of factors that is overlooked quite a bit. And this umbrella we talk about captures a lot of it. So wonderfully said, talk to us about another problem of indoor living is with indoor living, there's a couch, there's chairs, computers. So you don't move quite a bit. Without outdoor living, that's just more natural.

You're going to want to move around, right? Mobility is one of your expertise. So talk to us about the importance of movement and how I'm sure this was prior to quantum biology, but maybe put in a little bit of how quantum biology has improvised, evolved your understanding of this, its importance, its function, etc. I'll tell you one crazy thing about how the electromagnetic fields actually impact the body and personal experience with this when it comes to mobility.

How I've noticed it for myself a lot is if I'm sitting down on a couch and I'm using my phone for a period of time, editing my videos, doing my social media work, and then I was to spend the same amount of time, not on my phone, but reading a book, like a physical book, I would get way more stiff using the device, even though it's the same posture, the same position and the same amount of time. So that's super interesting, right? What's actually happening there?

Clearly something is happening on a cellular level, as we mentioned previously about dehydration of the tissues and maybe potentially even limiting blood flow and lymphatic system movement. And so maybe it has also to do something with the eye movement as well, because with a book, our eyes are not necessarily fixated into one position and they are maybe blinking more often because eyes play a huge role in the stiffness of the body in mobility.

The better your eye movement is, the less stiff you are just by how your eyes move. Imagine. So eyes are super huge. What you do with your eyes, how you exercise your eyes every day, whether they are stuck in a certain position fixated or whether they are being engaged in the natural environment, changing positions naturally and exposed to the natural light is going to determine our quality of movement.

So you see already from that how quantum biology and circadian rhythms play a huge role in how the quality of movement, right? Because the circadian biology is playing a huge role on the eye health. And so if we're improving our eyes, we're improving our quality of movement without even talking about doing any mobility exercises.

So you see, I always like to go from the lowest hanging fruits, address those things first and then afterwards we can implement the things that require a bit more action. And so then after we've thought about this and optimizing our environment for our eyes, then after we want to think what is our sitting environment looking like? What can we do in our home so that we are not stagnant?

Because when we sit in a certain position for a prolonged period of time, we reach stagnation and when stagnation occurs, then there is no blood flow, no lymphatic system flow. So we start to get a bit more brain fog as well because the lymphatic system is not flushing the brain, right? So we're accumulating toxins inside the brain. And when we are changing positions often, so from standing to sitting, that's allowing us to stay more fluid. Everything is moving around nicely.

The lymphatic system can only move around the body with the assistance of blood flow and blood flow begins to slow down dramatically as soon as we sit. So if we keep on changing those postures and those positions, we are allowing everything in the body to work better. And we only get stiff because we reach that stagnated point. So when we are reducing our blood flow, we are also reducing oxygen to the tissues. And when tissues are less oxygenated, they feel under threat.

What does the nervous system do when it feels under threat? It tightens us up. So as a protective response, the body is trying to tighten us up to keep everything moving around the body efficiently. And so we start to get tight on our hip flexors, our lower back, our shoulders, on all the areas where movement is supposed to be going quite a lot.

So by simply taking care of our environment and not sitting so much, maybe replacing our chairs with these Swiss balls, you know, the Swiss ball that you do crunches on at the gym, you can use one of those to sit down because you're constantly moving all the time, wiggling around. This constant fidgeting action is an incredible way to keep the blood and the lymphatic system moving. Right now I am standing as we're doing this podcast.

So that means that as I get stiff by standing in one position, I'm forced to change another position. So I've made it easy for myself to be able to, you know, keep my body in this constant state of flow. And so it's so important to make it easy for ourselves to be able to not get stiff in the first place so that we don't need to do mobility exercises to try and improve our mobility. You know, when we are born, you look at children, they move really well. They are crawling on all fours.

They sit in a deep squat. You know, their biomechanics are incredible. They look super nice and fluid. Somewhere along the line, when they go to school and they sit down for hours on end, staring straight forward under artificial blue lights exposed to non-native EMFs, now we're wondering where is the mobility lost? That's where it's lost because it's all about accumulative load and the thing that we do the most in our lives.

So everything that you do the most every single day is going to have the biggest impact. So if you're exposed to the blue light the whole day, that's going to be the thing that you need to address first because that's having the biggest impact on your life. If you are sitting all day and you start moving more, you break your sitting pattern. So for every 40 minutes of sitting, you have five minutes of movement.

If you have to be sitting down, that's going to transform your life to simple fixes like this, you know? Yeah. I did not know that the eyes control like the eye health, how you move it influences your mobility downstream. That's a very new fact for me. Fascinating. Yeah. Let me tell you, we can do this right now. If you move your eyes all the way to one direction, you feel that your nose wants to go that direction too, right? Yeah. I just noticed that your whole head moved.

Now do it the other way. And then now even your forehead moved a little bit. So that just shows you how intertwined the muscles are to the eyes and how the nervous system, because the body always follows where the head goes first. And so if you in sports, they even train people to train the eyes left and right. You know, you'll probably see athletes looking at different things while they're trying to catch a ball or something. That's because they're trying to train their peripheral vision.

And peripheral vision is what we see around without actually directly looking at it. And the further your peripheral vision is, the more safe your nervous system feels. And so what that actually does, when your nervous system feels safe, you have increased mobility because your muscles now are more relaxed. When the nervous system feels safe, we have a more relaxed body overall. So it improves our performance and our mobility.

So they're training, they're honing their peripheral vision in the sense that they can register it without like the walk on, you know. Yeah, so they can react quicker. So they can turn, so they can react quicker. They can turn their body towards that direction where they pick up the information. So the quicker you pick up the information, the faster you can react.

Because if you train your body and this is what's the difference between someone who can see a ball coming up them and someone who can't. One of them is going to get hit on the face, whereas the other one is going to dodge it. So it's kind of like a huge thing, right? When it comes to sports performance. So you want to be able to pick up things in your environment as quickly and as efficient as possible because then where the eyes go, the body will follow that direction.

Then the feet are traveling last. So the head is going first, then the torso, then the legs. So it's like one, two, three. Yeah, fascinating. I heard it from this lens before. Thank you. Thank you. That was unique. Yeah. So one thing I want to talk to you about is the lifestyle of entrepreneurship. So close it off because I'm sure as an entrepreneur, you have a vision for how you want your company to serve people, how you want it to grow.

And I think I've been feeling this a lot in my life too, where I realized there's a cap to being an employee. 40 hours a week is already occupied and that 40 hours in the modern world is probably sitting down. And so I feel like there's been a call in my heart. I never saw myself as an entrepreneur before high school, but now four years being an employee, I've kind of realized, wow, I have no choice but to be an entrepreneur to gain the freedom that I want in the world.

And you don't have to start anything. You can be an entrepreneur where you're supporting an entrepreneurial endeavor. So that's another avenue of flexibility. But I feel like for a lot of people, exploring their passions in that creator of entrepreneurship or entrepreneurship of supporting can open up a lot for their health, obviously their spiritual mental health and just open a lot of doors. So talk to us about how you feel about that.

If more people should move into entrepreneurship, this creatorship and move out of this conveyor belt that we're all in and maybe perhaps close it off with how you want your coaching business to end up. What do you see in it in 10 years? How far you're willing to, you're going to take it to wrap them all up and put a bow tie on it.

Cool. So first of all, I just want to say this is not financial advice because of course by going into entrepreneurship, you are risking a lot of safety in a way that you know that you're getting a certain income every month. You've always got your salary coming in. You can calculate how much you're going to spend that you're going to be able to pay your rent.

But when you go into entrepreneurship, because no one teaches you these things at school, so you're just on your own and you need to really nail the marketing aspects.

So if you are considering going into entrepreneurship, you have to really focus on learning marketing and how to put yourself out there and how to bring your message across to people that people can resonate with your message and so that you can impact people and that you're able to help as many individuals as possible throughout your journey. And I think the entrepreneurship is incredible.

I would never work for anyone ever again unless they have same values and they have the same alignment in the mindset as me, then I could potentially consider working with a brand or a company who has similar values, who are rooted in taking care of your health, the type of working hours, what's the environment like. These are all things that I would consider if I was to work for someone.

But since I am now working for myself, as you can see right now, this is the environment as what we are doing the podcast in, this is the environment which I work in. So I can decide whether I want to be on the beach doing my coaching or when I be here on my balcony. And so life is truly incredible, but there is of course a lot of uncertainty involved.

And this is where you need to really work hard on to understanding marketing, even hire professionals who can help you with that, to help you succeed in this. Because I believe that the difference between entrepreneurs who succeed and those who do not, it all comes down to marketing and how you bring your message across. And the more clear your message is, the more confident you are in what do you actually want to offer to the world.

That is going to make all the difference in whether people are going to start wanting your services, whether that is a product or a service, online coaching or anything like this. So that's a little bit about what I think about entrepreneurship. There are pros and cons. There is more uncertainty, but there is more freedom of time. You can decide your working hours. I get to live life in alignment with nature because I can decide when I'm working.

Of course, I have to consider what time zones my clients are in for my coaching. So sometimes I do have to do afternoon coachings, but I'm always doing it outside so I can be exposed to the natural light, even though I'm having to do things at times what I don't desire to do. So another thing is that you have to get very organized when you are an entrepreneur. So you have to make a schedule for yourself.

You have to decide to get stuff done, make lists for yourself, try and be as organized as you can because there isn't someone in front of you to tell you this is what you need to do today. And so that's a huge factor and something that I had to learn quite a lot at the beginning. And at the beginning, I remember I found myself so overwhelmed thinking that there is so much to do, but I don't know what to start with first.

So what I recommend is that people just write everything down, everything that you think that you need to do, even though it's not necessary, just write it down and then go it through with a level or in a way that you're trying to address the most important things first or what you believe is the most important things and cross those off so that you start decreasing the amount of stress on your body.

Because at the beginning, everybody's going to encounter stress when things are more uncertain and our nervous system like safety. So I think those are the most important things to take away when it comes to entrepreneurship is, take care of your marketing, try and be organized, know that it's not going to be like you're not going to become a millionaire overnight. You have to make a good business plan, try and offer value to the world. Don't try and be so like salesy.

Unless you have a product, it's a completely different market. So it just depends what kind of an entrepreneur you're going to become. And how I see my business going in the future. Well, currently I'm trying to build a mobility workout library, which is not personal coaching. It's not one-on-one coaching. It's more so that it's going to be a library of all the stuff that you see me posting on YouTube and Instagram.

And it's going to be detailed explanation on how to do those movements from the most beginner movements to the most advanced movements. And it's going to be so that you can connect those movements together to create flows and to create workouts with them, exercises to improve your stiffness, your flexibility, mobility, and also your strength. And the beautiful thing is about this is that people can do it anywhere. You don't need to have any equipment.

So that means you don't have to be in a gym environment. You can, you do it on a beach so you can serve your, you know, your circadian rhythms as well. However, of course I have thought about this that I probably don't want to be coaching forever. You know, I do want to spend as less time as possible. So I am working on developing some products, you know, in alignment with the quantum biology space.

So, but of course all of these things, they require time and a lot of, a lot of investment in time, a lot of investment, you know, financial investment. So we have to, you know, give time for those things to flourish.

And I'm not in a rush with those because my main focus now is helping individuals transform their lives until I get to those other things, which I feel that they can assist their environment and make it easier for themselves to live in alignment with nature, even if they don't have access or they can't be in access to nature. Are those things like gadgets or could you give us like a sneak peek or information products or Yeah, a bit like something like that.

So it's more like gadgets slash things that you could wear or towards the lighting side of things, something like this. Nice, nice. Yeah. So usually from what I've seen entrepreneurship, it'll be a lot of one-on-one stuff. At first you build your word of mouth, this client base where they have, you know, that testimony for you, but inevitably you have to scale because your work is just going to spread and spread and spread.

And so enjoy like enjoy Andreas's availability now while he's in this stage, get him while you can. But eventually, yeah, there's not enough time to do one-on-one for man, every single person you're probably gonna have to do it in a group setting eventually. Yeah. Yeah. And yeah, no, it's, but I love one-on-ones man. It's if I, if I could, I would like forever, but the more your audience grows, you don't have to multiply. So it's a challenge, right?

You know, I think what I love about webinars is having like people like yourself or people who are, you know, like doctors, experts on, you know, talking about different topics, a variety of different topics where people can join and they can learn a lot, you know, harvest a lot of information from that.

So I think building some, you know, tribe, some like-minded tribe community online where people are, you have the same values and they also live, want to live in alignment with nature is nice and connecting, you know, with experts of the field so they can teach myself and also my audience things that we don't know, I think is the truly the best approach because then we can bring people that information almost like a library all in one space. Yeah. Like you just did for Dr. Max, right?

You gave a webinar for his group and gave a talk on, what was it again? Yeah, we talked about circadian appropriate exercise, you know, the timing of exercise, you know, what's the best time to train in the day.

We talked about different principles about, we talked about sitting actually and how we can counteract that like similar question, what we talked about here and we talked about a variety of different things, but it was all around holistic movement practices and what's the difference, you know, between doing regular, you know, gym training versus doing the type of movement that I'm doing and how the body works together as a system instead of working in isolated parts. Right.

And fundamentally what you're doing, I think the safety as safe as you can get with entrepreneurship is when you know you've provided so much value to your client that they're going to say it, they're going to say things about you, they're going to spread their word and that reciprocation is just a feedback loop to where it almost builds a safety net where you'll always have a pool of clients to work with because you've put in that much value to them, you've put

in that work and you genuinely enjoy serving them and helping them in their journey and that's the best safety net you're going to get. But the stage before that where you're trying to build that up, that is scary, especially for employees. But I think that's what this is all about, why you and I are in this space. You know, when you're, when the world seems so messy and backwards, you find that gem you want to just give to everybody.

When every building is blue lit, you have that avenue of, hey, we got something going on and you have that avenue of service and it's, that opportunity is available to everybody. If you're listening to this right now, it's available to you. It's just so ubiquitous in its application and the more people we can spread, the more people in the tribe. Oh man, it's the application is drastic.

There are so many people right now who are unemployed, who are just sitting at home, they're not doing anything. They're just getting unemployment benefit from the government. You know, they're just surviving on that and those are the type of people who should be taking action actually, because for them there's literally no excuse. Like if you can like now, you know, make some good business plan, you can transform your life.

You can be somewhere so much further than where you are right now, because a lot of those individuals, they're just spending time indoors, you know, just laying on their couch, doing nothing and they just want to be, they want to be lazy, not because they necessarily want to be lazy, but they just don't have a vision. They don't know what they're supposed to be focusing on and they just need somebody to give them that spark.

So the easiest way to gain a spark of inspiration is to spend time outdoors in nature, you know, go for walks. Now have a mindful moment by yourself, you know, and you will actually come up with a brilliant idea that may solve a problem for millions of people. And that's the way that you become a successful entrepreneur. When you figure out there is a specific issue that no one has an answer for, but you came up with the answer and you believe it's the right thing.

And so I think many people would would benefit if they, you know, took their lives outdoors, especially the people who are unemployed. Amen. Mic drop. So, yeah, well said, well said. Yeah, this podcast was an interesting blend of topics. We talked about quantum biology, the crazy sympathetic environment we're in, athletes, their crazy situations, fat loss, movement, entrepreneurship. I figured I'd ask you about that because no one just all of a sudden becomes an entrepreneur. It's a journey.

And so I don't know, in all that soup of discussion, that mixture, is there any last word of advice or parting wisdom that you'd like to give to the audience today? One of my favorite quotes I like to say is that movement is a biological necessity, whereas exercise is nice. So what does this actually mean? It means that to move every single day is a must, right? So movement means like to move our body in a way where we're not breaking down muscle.

So activities such as walking, swimming, cycling, maybe a light jog, some, you know, gentle, like mobility exercises, things like this, often throughout the day and every day is a biological necessity. Your body is craving that. It's asking you for that.

If you can do those activities outdoors, even better because you're supporting your circadian rhythms, you're optimizing your hormones, and you're going to be at a way better position in general to see better results if you're trying to achieve some physique goals or even, you know, cognitive goals as well. You know, you want to have a sharper, sharper brain. You want to be able to think more clearly. So yeah, if you can live in alignment with nature as much as you can, move as often as you can.

And if you have the inspiration, the energy and the time, then you can invest in some exercise, maybe three, four times per week. But remember, you don't need to overdo it. You know, as long as you're moving enough, then exercise is a bonus. It's the icing on the cake. Thank you so much for coming on, Andreas. Thank you for having me. It was a pleasure. All right, guys. What a unique mixture of topics for this episode. He's a very, very unique and interesting person.

And I'll put his Instagram, his links in the show notes below, catch him while he's available. One on one doesn't last forever. But yeah, if you want to just lose weight easily, more, you know, it doesn't have to be sacrificing your entire life. If you just want to improve your quality of life in general, I would. Yeah, Andreas is a good way to go about that. So all right, you guys, this was a great episode of the podcast. I'll see you back next time on the Guiding Lighthouse podcast. The soda.
