ENGLAND - The Ancestral Homeland Travel Vlog

We managed to— passed through the nightmare. Traveling, especially when you're on a tight schedule, always tests your ability to not get frustrated at the BS. It's a mentality to accept it is what it is. You'll get there eventually. Gotta carry bags in between terminals, and, uh, just a lot of fun. So getting a bit of one-sided farmer's carries. Not really because the strap is on, but when the strap's off, it's one-sided farmer's carries in between gates at the terminal, which is a good bit of exercise, especially if you're going to be sitting for— sitting down for 7 hours like I am now. But we're on the way to London. I'll see you there. Okay, I cannot believe we managed to find some fruit at the airport. Mid-fruit, but fruit all the same. 2 oranges, banana. We also found this clean biltong, as the label says, and then found this snack mix thing. This is an example of airport food that I found. Luckily, um, it depends what you have available to you, what airport you're at. Some are good, some are bad. Eat as clean as possible, light eating. You don't need to eat a big heavy meal before you go on a flight, uh, but that's what I eat when I travel. Hello! Hello sunshine. I've brought the weather with me as per usual. Hot water and lemon, my milk. Not a bad spot for these chocolate croissants. Whoa, no, none for you guys. Walking along this beautiful little country lane and I have a book swap box. So the idea being you take one, leave one. And they're just free books for people to enjoy, which is really beautiful community kind of thing to have. If you can set one up in your neighborhood, please do so, so people can read more. Put some esoteric books in there and, um, get it going. Enjoying this beautiful weather, so I'm wearing the singlet or the tank. Going to find a coffee shop for a change, do a little bit of work in the sun. England's definitely a lot better, a lot nicer when the sun is out. It's the first bit of sun for a while, so you've got people shirtless, which I, I respect. It's very nice. This is where I'm having dinner, the beautiful sunlight. We've got a starter salad, mixed greens, tomato, basil, olive oil, raw cheese on top. And over here we have a thick piece of sourdough, raw butter, a bit of honey, ground lamb in these little burger things, some steak leftover ribeye and mashed potato. Really great. And remember, always eat in the sun. Found some gardens, just ran down here. Beautiful sunshine. And this is really where England shines. You know what time it is?

Espresso!

Time. Oi oi, sorry. Got ourselves the 6-egg special, sourdough, raw butter, bit of pineapple, and our friend espresso. Just in the car and I was blessed by a bird's excrement on me, so that's fun. Good luck, apparently. Found some fresh rosemary, so we're going to chew on that for the cognition boost. Little afternoon pick-me-up. Holistically done. Here we are stopping for lunch on the Thames River. We have here 4 eggs, and spinach. They call this a protein cup. And then fruit, pomegranate and watermelon, both blood flow maxing, really nice rehydration. And of course I've got the glass bottle mineral water. Hey team, we're on Waterloo Bridge in London. See behind me, the London Eye. Stunning day. You're really able to appreciate the history that's here. London of course is a city that I've been to a decent amount being English myself. If you didn't know that about me. Born in England, and this is my country in a lot of ways. We're going to take you through London today, through the weekend, and show you some beautiful things. We're going to the British Museum right now, and there's a lot of beautiful things in there. Off in the distance, Big Ben, newly renovated, and then the London Eye. You can take a trip up there to get a Nice view of everything. Something that's very interesting, seeing so many people wearing sunglasses out in the sun. The issue is if you wear them all the time in the sun, the eye is where your brain is going to get information about what light environment it's in. If your brain is effectively not getting those inputs through the eye, it doesn't release the same amount of melanin that is required to protect the skin in the sun, and you end up burning more, not producing the right vitamin D, and, and I'm sure a whole host of other things to do with your circadian rhythm. So don't wear sunglasses, they're going to harm you in the long term. Here we are, beautiful. Very fitting, Apollo, god of the sun, just chilling. Relax. Sunny's balls. Would you slonk the ostrich, emu, kestrel eggs from the museum? I would. Used this depiction of Hercules in Soulwave 9, I believe, as the animation. Have your tamamaru team on these. Be awesome. We're in London meeting up with two very cool people. My friend Matt, who does the Raw Optics glasses, blue light blockers, and also Tim Gray, who is one of the leading biohackers in England and the world. He's put together this whole Health Optimization Summit that I'm going to, so cool to meet them, hang out and talk health and life. Health optimization with the king himself. Oh man, this is very hot. I have one of these lights at home and really, really recommend Sauna Space. Um, it's the closest thing that I've felt to natural sunlight that's man-made before, and I'll just zoom in on, like, in the morning. What I actually do is I'll have this plugged in near my bed, and when I wake up in the morning, I'll just drag it over and I'll put it on my face, um, to wake up to. It's so, so good. Memento mori— remember that you will die. And that's not a negative thing, it's not a fearful thing, it's just like One day that's where you're going to be, 6 feet under the ground. So you might as well make the most of it while we're here. Private room, nice. So I just wanted to speak about something that I observe in You know, we're in London, night— nightlife area. I've just gone out to dinner, had an incredible time, and had a bit of wine myself as well. Organic Malbec, organic red wine. It was incredible. But just from observing the other groups of people that are now continuing their night out, and I'm retiring, I'm going to bed. I want to preface this by saying that I've been out so many times late, late night, that I— it's not judgment because I, I've done it for years. So I just want to first say that. But from my perspective now and observing that, that's not really a healthy thing to do, uh, like consistently. You're already wasted, it's 11 o'clock, and you're pushing it and you're still drinking and you're going out and it's another 3, 4 hours still. It's very unconscious. And you're a wreck, you're wasted, the conversation is not conscious, it's just like, uh, stumbling around. You really have to be conscious of whether it is conscious of yourself doing it, or it's just a way to get out of your own head. And if you're doing it over and over and over again, that's, that's when the issues come in. So just some conscious Alcohol thoughts. A little light breakfast before the second day. So a little bit about sleep. Because the sun has been going down so late here, sun doesn't set until 9:30, and that throws you off a bit. I mean, you're just naturally staying up late. So I've also been a little bit undisciplined with my phone use. Time zone— everyone's awake when I'm going to sleep, so I've been using my phone a bit before bed. That's my mistake. But I've still been able to get refreshing, good sleep and feel fine in the morning because I'm using my supplements. I'm using the New Soul Supplements magnesium, glycine, of course, bita taurine, and electrolytes and water before bed. The quality of your sleep is super important because it doesn't necessarily mean if you're in bed unconscious for 8 hours you're getting 8 hours of good sleep. But when you have the supplements that relax your body and give your body the nutrients to relax and get good sleep, it just works better. So if you're on the move, you're traveling, it's very, very worth it to take your supplements with you.

So there's this line in the movie when Farmer Brown gets that idea to compete his pig in a sheepdog competition. And the line is this, the narrator's voice said, "And Farmer Brown realizes that little ideas that tickle and nag and never seem to go away should never be ignored, for in them lie the seeds of destiny." I want you to remember that quote from Farmer Brown. Even if it's something as ludicrous as having your pig compete in a sheepdog competition, Little ideas that tickle and burn and never seem to go away should never be ignored, for in them lie the seeds of destiny. That is how great entrepreneurs, great creators are made.

So this is our pre-workout meal: banana, pain au chocolat, and espresso. We're going to lift with, uh, Ryan Carter, a very, very prominent biohacker who I met this weekend, and he's jacked as well. Which is always great. Knows his stuff. So we're gonna go lift with him. Sensual, sensual workout, Sol. Pure nutty sunlight. Thank goodness we managed to find some English raw milk. Yep, that'll do it. Lunchtime. We've got the pre-meal salad. I like to have salad a little bit before the main meal so we're not really mixing, uh, different types of food. And if you have vegetable matter before your main meal, it helps to lower the blood sugar spike. Not that I really care about that, but it's just interesting to note. Some organic olive oil, extra virgin. Look at that bottle as well, really nice, uh, from Kretan, Greece. Um, so that's the salad. Put a bit of salt in there. Organic grass-fed pasture-raised beef and rice. Pretty simple, just a little bit of rice. That's all I had left. We'll see how this turns out. Doesn't get much simpler, healthier, anabolic than red meat cooked so it's still bloody and rare. White rice, lots of olive oil, it's giving it that yellow color, and then eating in the sun. Now this is where England shines. This is very close to my homeland where my family is and grew up and have that farmland, so I'm gonna say hi to the sheep. Hello! That's a real lamb leg, everyone. Now this beautiful angel is Broom. He's very old, can't walk very well anymore, but I'm gonna give him some raw milk and see if he likes it. So stay there. Oh yes, good boy! Yummy! Oh, he's spilling it everywhere. That tail wag! So we're in a maize field, M-A-I-Z-E, and this particular field was devastated by crows. They come in and they scoop out each little one and eat the seed underneath and obviously have the whole thing. And because of that, this happens in order to warn the other crows off. So it's a reality of farming, I guess, unfortunately. It's a decoy of another bird. No, this is not the start of a horror movie. This is where I have to get in to shower. Oh, Jesus Christ, scared me. Hello. Good morning. This is a large amount of rain. How am I going to get out? So we're headed to Two Stables, which point I'm gonna get on a horse. For you guys. I have to learn at some point because I want to ride them in Mongolia on the steppe. So this is the first step. Let's see. Got my 5-fingered toes on, set up Solar Power Polo. Very horsey. Let's go. Hey, hello! So this is the horse that I'll be riding, all jacked up. Cycling down English country lanes. A traditional English breakfast: tomato, sausage, eggs, bacon, beans. Toast. So we are at Hickstead, which is a horse show jumping competition. First one that I've been to, so excited to see what it's all about, how the sport works. It's, it's very interesting dynamic with the riders and obviously the horses because you've got to work as a team if you want to clear the jumps and get around. So I'm always interested to learn how the top performers of each sport perform. So with show jumping, it's very important, obviously, the quality of the horse. And this is why people pay millions. And if you have a very successful stallion, he can live the rest of his life just providing, uh, the genetic material for other horses. I have heard that even if you're not a particularly good rider, if you have a great horse, then you can get a long way. So there's a bit of an unfortunate— not talent gap, but if you have the money to spend. Obviously it's an expensive sport in general, but there's a lot of Middle Eastern money, Chinese money coming into it as a sport in general. So it's just an interesting thing to note. If you can buy a great horse, then you've got a great advantage over other people. So this, they are pacing in between the shorter jumps to measure distance so they know how quick they need to jump when they go through their run. Hello, sir. Some English farm produce, some eggos. Don't think I'll get the kukmia honey. Pure, raw, natural. Always got to try the honey wherever you go. Okay, since I know all of you enjoy this, we're gonna do a run-through of what we got at this beautiful little farm shop. So satsumas, aka mandarins— they're called satsumas in English. Oranges, carrots. We've got some still mineral water from a local spring. We've got that organic pure apple juice in here. Berries, raspberries, blueberries. Of course, eggs. Everyone knows what an egg looks like, but there you go. Some nice butter, hand-churned traditionally. This is some organic rye bread. Some fat ribeyes, all local, all of this meat. So really excited for that tonight. Clotted cream, uh, not raw, but we'll have that with the berries for dessert. We got some raw honey, excited to try that one. Some 100% cacao, or the— it's called cocoa here, same thing, with a bit of orange oil inside there. I saw this kefir so a little bottle with, uh, obviously all the probiotics in there and milk. Ginger beer, which is water, organic ginger, and, uh, yeah, simple ingredients, nothing nasty in there. And sliced salt beef, gonna have that. Some cheese on a plate, and then English wild boar and venison salami, so a mix of boar and deer. Interested on I don't know how that's gonna go. Wild pig is really the only pork that I would eat, but, uh, nice little hole there. Flame-grilled ribeyes. Beautiful dinner to round out England. Wow, England, my ancestral homelands. Had a brilliant time there connecting with everyone in London and my family. And all the animals and all the experiences I had, it really is special. If you haven't been to or live in your ancestral homelands where your, you know, your great-great-great-grandparents are from, I highly recommend it. There's something about when you connect to the nature there, you really feel in your soul, and it's very valid to just be aware of your roots, your history. You're likely going to have some biological adaptations to that area that are unique to to you that you should take advantage of. Uh, hope you enjoy the vlog, guys. As you can see, I'm in my next destination, uh, so keep your eyes out for the next vlog. It's going to be change of pace, change of location, and, uh, we'll show you guys all the way. Thanks for watching. See you next time.
