Okay, now bro, you need to manage stress, okay? You really need to manage stress. And to be honest, it's one of the things you gotta do before you do anything, bro. Before you go in business, before you go— before you want to start something new, before you want to be successful, before you want to do anything, bro, you gotta manage stress. Stress is literally, bro, it literally kills people. I mean, not maybe literally just kills people like this in an instant, but In the long run, bro, it kills you. You really need to manage stress. Now look, what happens with stress is— I'm gonna pretty much like say it in a scientific term— but when you are stressed, right, when you're constantly stressed, what happens is all your oxygen in your cells, right, maybe not all your— maybe not for every cells, but in your cells, the oxygen goes to your muscles. So it can, like, you know, when people back in the days used to go against, let's say, a bear. Let's say they go against a bear and, you know, it's a threat, so they gotta be able to protect themselves. You know, when they're in a fight or flight situation, they got to protect themselves. So all the oxygen goes to their muscles so they can pretty much, you know, fight back and be able to respond, or just you know, run as fast as possible. So what happens is all your oxygen— maybe not all your oxygen, but oxygen from your cells goes to your muscles and blood flow also, I think. So what happens is the cells are starved from oxygen in that moment. So if you stay stressed constantly, the cells are going to be starved and they're just going to starve to death and they're going to disappear because they're going to be starved to death. They're not going to have any oxygen. So that's why, bro, it kills people. That's why people have, you know, after they, they get like, let's say, uh, a health, uh, let's say they get like a breakup or maybe like a bad accident happen, people's health starts to deteriorate. But bro, the good news, I mean the good news, but look, you can manage stress, bro. I swear I'm one of, uh I can't— I'm gonna say like I used to be one of the guys who was the most stressed. I'm not stressed, not much, bro. Last time I was literally walking in nature, there was a dog was unleashed and that dog just came up to me, like literally just came up to me and he started like growling like— and I was like, I was like, okay, bro. I didn't even stress about it. You— it could have attacked me or something, bite me or something. I, I didn't even pretty much react, bro. I don't know, maybe I'm just numb. But what you gotta understand is, uh, you can literally, bro, affect— like, you can literally manage stress. First of all, food is very important. Food is very, very important, okay? A lot of people miss on food because— now, okay, food can literally create stress for your body. Now look, this hormone called serotonin— serotonin— serotonin— but just look it up, serotonin. Serotonin, okay? This hormone basically, it's related to feelings of happiness, well-being, or less anxiety, less depression, you know, just well-being, being calm and everything, you know, happiness, everything. But the thing is, you can— it's in your gut. It's pretty much in your gut, or it's made by your brain. I don't remember by heart, but what I know is it can literally, like, bro, it can literally— if you don't— if you have a trash diet, it can literally be the reason why you're not happy. It can be literally the reason why you're not feeling well. I'm not saying if you eat a clean diet you're going to be happy 24/7, you're not going to be stressed, not anxious, But I'm saying foods like probiotic food, bro, it's gonna change your life, bro. It's gonna change your life. Uh, bacteria is in your gut. There's bacteria in your gut, right? There's a lot of bacteria that needs to, you know, get fed, like for example, fiber, nutrients, you know, all those essential nutrients. And what you gotta understand is in your gut there's neurons, like in your brain there's neurons. In your gut there's like 100 million neurons, I think. What happens is people don't feed their batteries the right sort of nutrients and fiber, and so the body kind of starts to crawl down, and stress is going to be produced by the body. Because, bro, stress is in the— like, it's literally in the gut. The gut is the second brain, or the gut is the main brain, bro. Literally, like, your gut has neurons, bro. It has neurons. So if you don't feed your gut the right food, if you always feed yourself 24/7, every hour you eat something, but your body is not going to be able to keep up with the demand. Like, you're gonna give your body energy on top of energy, aka food. You're gonna give too much energy to your body or your mitochondria or something, and your body is not gonna be able to process everything. What happens? High insulin. When there's insulin, bro, it's fucked up. When you have diabetes, bro, it's fucked up. Like, we got— we really gotta start like going back to like how we sort of like used to eat. And you know, this might not be sort of like related to stress, but bro, literally, bro, if you have a healthy lifestyle, it can decrease your stress. I can 100— I'm 100% Like, the proof, bro. Like, and the breathing techniques, why is it so powerful too? Because it affects your gut. It affects your gut, okay? It literally, when you breathe, your— I think it's called like the vagus nerve or something, the vagal nerve. Like, it literally goes to your gut when you take a deep breath, a conscious breath, not just, not just breathing out of nowhere just because— I mean, subconsciously, I mean. When you take conscious breath, like when you're sleeping, it goes directly to your gut. Another thing, don't eat before bed. Don't eat too much before bed. That's one of the things I be missing on. Like, I eat like a big meal like 4 hours before bed. But look, what you gotta understand is when you sleep, your brain literally like wash itself, right? It literally wash itself. Like, you literally burn fat and And what happens is you use ketones. You use ketones for energy. You don't use glucose. Glucose, which is sugar. Now, the brain, yes, wants glucose, okay? It wants glucose, but it can live off ketones too. Ketones, which is the sort of energy that is made by the liver, aka like the fats. It's the fats, okay? That's why people that do keto or anything, they always talk about like ketones. But what you gotta understand is you gotta feed— like, you gotta feed your body with the right nutrients. Your gut wants the right nutrients. You have so many bacteria in your gut. They want fiber, they want the minerals, they want the vitamins. You need to give them that. If you don't give them that, you're gonna— if you feel stressed, it might be a reason why. If you feel like shit, it might be a reason why. I'm not saying this is the main cause, You know, there's plenty of other things you can manage stress with. Like I said, breathing techniques. Breathe to your belly too, because like I said, when you consciously breathe, it goes to your gut. Your breath goes to your gut, affects the gut walls, okay? Now, when you breathe to your belly, guess where is your gut? Like, pretty much in your belly, right? People, people literally, uh, breathe from here, okay? They breathe from here. What happens, like the diaphragm, what happens is they're in a sort of like stress state because breathing through the diaphragm is like a sort of like fast way to breathe, okay? It's a fast way to— it's like when the ancestors were like facing a threat, they had to breathe from the diaphragm to be ready, okay? I think for— it's— I mean, you know, because it puts you like in a stress situation, right? Now what was I gonna say? Oh fuck, I forgot. But look, you need— but you need to eat good, you need to have a good lifestyle, you need to go in nature. Nature, I don't know yet. You need to do things like maybe yoga can help you. But just, you just gotta know, bro, if antidepressant exists, right? Antidepressant, you take it already or something, I don't know how they take it. That's a proof that you It's literally like in your gut, in your brain, bro. It's literally in your organs. It's literally in your organs, the stress, the anxiety, and everything. It's literally in your organs, okay? Yes, people can say mental and everything, but it affects your mental. If your gut is not cool, bro, affects your mental. When you have an exam, right, let's say you have an exam at school and you're stressed about the exam, right? And you say— happened to me in the past until I didn't give a fuck about school. But when I've had an exam, right, literally I didn't want to eat. Why? Because it affects your gut, bro. It affects your colon. It affects— it's just, bro, it's simple like this. I don't want to eat because sort of like, like the gut sends messages to my brain that like it doesn't want to eat. Like, because I don't know that— I don't know everything, but I don't have all the answers. I know what's really like to the good. 100% can tell you, okay? So, bro, you really need to be informed before taking things like antidepressant and everything, because you gotta understand, it affects you. Like, if you take it orally, that means it's in your body. It's not, it's not just, it's not just something out of your body, or just like, you know what I mean? It's like not something like outside of your body that's just in your mind or something. Bro, it just affects your mind, bro. It literally affects your mind. Oh yeah, bro, I remember what I was gonna say, bro. Fasting. Fasting is a great thing if you do intermittent fasting, if you do whatever, bro. We need to go back to how people used to live. Were they fasting? Yes, but they didn't do it consciously. Maybe didn't do it consciously, that's what I think, because, you know, like, well, they just don't got food around. People got refrigerator and everything. Your life is way easier, but you feel more stressed. You gotta understand this. Your life is way easier. You got food in your refrigerator right now. I can go and just feast right now if I want to. But what you gotta understand is when you fast, bro, like, just think about it. People that fast, most of the time, just ask people that fast, they feel less depressed, they feel less anxious, they feel less everything. Me, for example, when I used to do Ramadan, right? I still do it, but when I was fasting, I was like, I didn't— it was a moment of my life where I was always stressing about like people and everything. I was like, oh, what, what do they think of me and everything? But when I was fasting, I really didn't care because at first I'm like, um, yeah, it's just because I only think about if I'm hungry. But I realized like, bro, I literally— I face your mind too. It's both. Like, I'm just gonna think about if I'm hungry, so I'm not gonna think about other people. But at the same time, it's like your whole body is calming. Well, you need to give your system a break. Most people eat 7 times a day. Like, they eat like 3 meals, 3 snacks, 4 snacks, and no breaks for their guts, for the gut, for the— for everything in their body, bro. There's no break. I'm not saying you should go and do OMAD or just eat like less, bro. Try to, try to incorporate— maybe if, if that's what you want. I'm not saying— if your focus should be a good diet and, you know, a good lifestyle, but if you want to add like something like intermittent fasting, you can start with like 12 hours. So you can start with 12 hours, it's not that hard, you know. You can still eat 3 meals a day. But what I'm saying is when you eat too much, especially like things like sugar Bro, you're just gonna crave more, okay? When I started eating more healthy foods and more raw foods, I didn't— I wasn't hungry, okay? Fasting, bro, it will literally calm you, bro. Every time I fast, I'm not stressed about anything. I cannot stress about anything. Maybe it's because I'm too hungry. I'm not that hungry, but you know, like, maybe it's because I'm a bit hungry, or maybe it's because literally my body is just calming, like, my body is is able to restore itself. It's able to heal itself, okay? You know, another thing, another thing people might experience on fasting is they might start feeling nauseous, they might start feeling bad and everything because your body is detoxifying, okay? I saw a comment, uh, like months ago, and someone said like you should skip breakfast or something like that. I'm not going to talk about this. And the guy in the comments said I shouldn't skip breakfast because it makes you feel nauseous and bad for the— for, uh, in the morning and everything. But you gotta understand, it's just that your body is trying to detoxify what— literally the toxins in your body, everything that you did, like the damage that you did. I did a lot of damage to my body in the past. I still have acne scars because of it. I still have— like, it's literally like, bro, fasting. When I fast, my skin, it gets way better when I fast. Like, I'm not saying you should go for like 7 days or something. I'm saying intermittent fasting. Start with 12 hours if that's what you want, then you can go up 16, for example. 16 hours where you just eat in the 8-hour window. If you do 12 hours and eat in a 12-hour window, that's cool too. That's cool too. Do, do what you want, okay? It's definitely gonna help you because When you fast, you boost the human growth hormone. Okay, I'm gonna give y'all a lot of knowledge. Okay, when you fast, you boost the human growth hormone, and that hormone basically is responsible for growing your bones, growing your body, growing your muscles, keeping your, your muscle mass. Uh, what else? Like, and you know, it's just related to your growth basically. And when you fast, it boosts, like especially intermittent fasting and just fasting in general. It boosts this, it boosts, it boosts it. That's why, uh, people that work out, right, people that work out, uh, workouts also boost the human growth hormone, okay? And workout is another way you can be less stressed. Cold showers can be another way you can be less stressed. Just a lifestyle in general, you see. But going back to the growth hormone, when you Fast, it boosts the growth hormone. When you exercise, it boosts the growth hormone. For example, sprinting. Sprinting is a good exercise because you literally put a lot of stress but on your body for like not that, that long, and then you rest. So you put stress, so that's cortisol. Cortisol is the stress hormone basically that breaks down your body, and then you basically after that you, um rest. So when you rest, you, you really just build up your body. That's why human growth hormone is boosted by sleep, because when you sleep, you recover. Okay, so you gotta understand the human growth hormone. The serotonin is important for stress, and you know, cortisol— like, look at things that boost cortisol, because that makes you stressed. That literally makes you stressed, bro. Like, we're just— I don't— I just think we're not mindful enough to really think these things can literally affect us. I'm not saying I have the right answer. I'm not saying I'm right or anything, but this is my theory. I think when we start to have a healthy lifestyle, like people that live— like, bro, people that live in Japan, right? People that live, uh, you know this place called, uh, Okinawa? It's like a place where— I mean, it's an island in Japan where Bro, these people live like stress doesn't exist, bro. I literally saw something like these people live on the island and they just live slowly, bro. They live like nothing, nothing really is gonna stress them or anything. And they eat a healthy diet. They're known for their healthy diet too, really. Like, I'm not saying food is the only thing, but food is a big part of it, bro. Food is a big part of it. Just look when you're fasting, you're less stressed, okay? Literally, literally, bro. Look up serotonin, look up human growth hormone, look up cortisol, look up the Wim Hof method, look up, uh, probiotic foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, yogurt, kefir, uh, what else? Like, you know, like the foods that basically give you good bacteria. And don't mess with Pharmaceuticals, bro. Don't mess with pharmaceuticals. Never mess with pharmaceuticals, okay? Really don't, okay? I mean, yeah, if you have like a bad situation, everything, you're, you're the one making the choice. I'm not saying— I'm not, I'm not your guide or anything, but the thing is, antibiotics, for example, antibiotics literally kills the bacteria in the guts, bro. They literally kills the bacteria in the guts. It kills the good and the bad bacteria. When you have— because when people are sick, they have like whatever, like the mess is happening in the body, it kills, it kills the, the batteries. That's why I find it so dumb that people want to take like Tylenol. I don't know, even, you know, the, the thing that, you know, basically the pain, the pain removing meds. I don't know the name. I find it dumb because When you have a fever, for example, when you have a fever, it's just your body detoxifying. It's just your body detoxifying. But what happens is when your body detoxifies, the bacteria goes to eliminate that thing. The white cells and everything, they go to eliminate that thing and try to get it out of the system. But you take a med, like a drug or something, What happens is it just kills like everything. Let's say the fire is here, it's just gonna kill everything around here, okay? It's just gonna kill everything around here. So that's why I think it's them, because you're killing your own bacteria and you're killing your own body, bro. You're literally killing things that are not gonna come back in a second. And guess what? With bad diet and everything, it's not gonna come back. Your cells are not gonna come back. I don't know everything about cells, I'm not a scientist, I'm not— doctor or anything, but bro, stop taking meds. Another thing, right now it's the winter, but the sun, the sun, bro, if I knew the power of the sun, bro, well, I will be in the sun more, way more, like, than— but literally all summer long I realized I was way more happier when I was in the sun. But the sun is related. Vitamin D is so important. If you don't have vitamin D in your diet, you need vitamin D supplement or something. But the sun, bro, the infrared— people that do, uh, saunas with infrared, they feel way better. The sun literally get, uh, the sun, the sunlight is infrared. And bro, infrared goes through to your pineal gland. It goes through your, um, I forgot how you call it, like it goes to your, uh, your back and everything. It goes, it penetrates your skull and goes to your pineal gland. And it really like, it regulates your, your whole circadian rhythm. Like, it boosts melatonin, bro. You know the hormone that, uh, melatonin— melatonin— it lets you boost. Like, bro, it's so powerful. The sun is so powerful. You need to go in the sun. Just, uh, you— if you don't want— if you think, uh, the sun's gonna give you cancer, okay, then just go with your clothes. The dirt, the grass, everything in nature, the trees reflects the sun, so you're gonna get infrared too. You're gonna get some infrared, which is so powerful. You know, some people have a trash diet, but this— the melatonin in the sun that the sun provides in the subcellular level, literally, bro, it literally is one of the most powerful antioxidants. So people that have a trash diet, sometimes feel good and everything because in the sun 24/7, because this antioxidant sort of like kills the damage that it removes the damage that you did to your body because it's so powerful, you know. Well, the sun is powerful. I don't know, like, related to stress. I just know, bro, you don't even need science to just go in the sun, bro. Go outside, go outside. If, if you're staying in the house 24/7, that, that, well, that's like that, bro. You need to change it. You need to change something. So yeah, that's it for the video. Okay, I like to come just kind of like I'm a piece
