The UPS store be Unstoppable So, I found out that I was like 84% Northern European. And if you trace that back, what do Northern European people eat? The ancestry, right? And you start testing those types of foods first. So, predominantly Irish and British, you know, what kind of foods were they eating? Well, it was mainly meat and it was mainly like simple potatoes.

Yeah.

Right?

So, finding out what your ancestry is is very, very powerful. In understanding your genetic makeup and what you actually should be eating. Because a lot of, I think paleo is great, but there's a lot of stuff that paleo misses out on as well. A lot of people that do it long enough, their hormones start to go out of whack, they start to feel more tired. So there's pros and cons to every single diet. And here's, I'm a firm believer in this too, every diet works. What doesn't work is not being consistent with it. Consistency. That's what everything.

Yeah. Everyone. And so many people fail at that game. They're just, they try for a week or two and then they're, yeah, they're.

Not getting the results they want. They quit. They give up.

So how does someone stay consistent? You know, when it's, when probably 99% of people don't stay consistent with their diet, that the health, the lifestyle change that they want to make with the health, what's the key?

Well, you actually talk about this in your book.

Yes. Right.

It's the, it's It's the why. It's the vision. Having the why powerful enough that makes you cry. Why that makes you cry. We call it identity. It's the emergence of your identity and your why.

And it can't be just to have a six-pack. Yeah, that's not a strong enough.

That's not superficial. You'll never make it.

You'll make it for like two months.

And then you'll be like, it's not worth it. Yeah, but if you're the parent where you're the dad, that's like, oh, I see my son. He's three years old right now. When he's 18, I want to throw the football around with him. So if I maintain my health now and my longevity, then I can see that, I can visualize it. When he's 18 years old, we're out in the yard, what does that look like? Well, the sun's shining, we're in the forest, we're playing. You put those mental images in your mind in the future, and that allows you to avoid anything in the present that could cause a distraction, right? And lead you down the wrong path. So maybe it's a completely different story. You're the mom or you're the, maybe you want to impact the world. You know, you're Lewis Howes, you have this podcast, and people come up to you and they know that you're having people on the show that are great. You're inspiring these leaders. So when you're seen out in public, you can't be that fake person that's not congruent.

Yes.

So what does congruency look like in all levels? If you're not congruent in your health, how are you ever going to be congruent in business and everything else?

Yeah, that's powerful.

And there's a lot of people that are that, you know, that they're great businessmen, but their health is dismal. They go into the doctor, and then the doctor is like, you know, you got six months left to live, and they would have paid anything in business. Steve Jobs would have paid anything to be on this planet.

Oh, of course, you know, and he did probably, you know, he had probably doctors and everything, and he lasted longer than he. Yeah, he probably was supposed to, but.

Yeah, but people in the present moment, people totally undervalue how powerful their health is.

So let's say you have a powerful why and you discover that, but you still are challenged with staying consistent. Is your why not big enough or powerful enough, or is there some other thing that you can do to really make sure that you Yeah. Stay consistent. What do you think? Is it having accountability partner, a buddy, a coach? Is it finding support groups?

Is it coaching as you know? Because how many coaches have you had in your life?

Dozens.

Dozens of coaches, likewise, mentors, people that have impacted me on a really deep level. So I think that's huge. Having accountability, a coach.
