How to Lose Those Stubborn Pounds in 90 Days Without Exercise | WILDFIT

Daniel, I can say I'm currently still at 14% body fat, which puts me in the top 1% of men my age. But I credit it to meeting Eric and the process that he put me through. Now, I went from failing all my health goals, having a body where I would not dare take off my shirt on a beach, to now I feel proud of my body. And at 50, I'm healthier than I've ever been. And after this happened to me, I decided before we launched it to our customers, I had to see, okay, that this works for everyone. It wasn't just me because I was a mindset guy. I was teaching meditation. Maybe it was just easier for me to stick to it. So I invited 100 of my employees and their spouses to go through the program, and it changed the health of my entire company. The record of weight loss was 51 pounds in third in 90 days, and two people did that. 51 pounds in 90 days. Now one of them was an Egyptian guy called Mohammed. The funny thing is, as he was losing weight, his body 51 pounds, right? His body was transforming so fast. He was talking to his brother on the phone. His brother. Ended up losing 20 pounds, not even doing WildFit. He would just tell his brother, brother, like, we have to stop drinking Coke for dinner. He would, he, they would, they would just notice the patterns that were sabotaging them. His brother lost 20 pounds, wasn't even on the program. Now, this is what also happened. People started looking different. So this is me before WildFit, 2 photos taken by the same photographer. Pauli Astanias. He's an award-winning photographer. He, he has a photography class on Mindvalley. Same photographer, 1 year apart. You can see I literally started looking different. People asked me if I had plastic surgery. My energy was different. My face was different. My body was different. This is Jason Campbell. Some of you may have seen Jason. He was a host on Mindvalley. This is his transformation. He was one of the many people in my company that transformed their body. This is Jason's transformation. And I want to stress, 9-0. This is in 90 days. Jason was a farm boy from Canada, and in his words, addicted to cheese. He overcame addiction. Isn't that wild? So 100 of my employees, record weight loss was 51. 2 people tied at 51. There was another chap on my team. He finished WildFit. continued, his body continued morphing. He got the award because at 6 months, he had dropped 90 pounds. That's a young human being.

9-0.

He's still in my team, top performer, one of the most amazing people I work with. And I could see that his self-confidence, the way he showed up, his energy, his passion at work, all shifted. Because we know that every bit of extra fat you carry right now isn't just weighing you down. It's also affecting your cognition. It's affecting your confidence. It's affecting how you show up. I remember interviewing Dr. Daniel Amen, America's foremost brain doctor, in 2022, and he shared a study that he had done. Every bit of extra fat we carry on our body actually reduces our cognition, ability to ideate, to think, to perform at work. I noticed this in 2016 after I did WildFit. No, not only— and I put my company through it. Not only did my health change, our entire company transformed. 2016 to 2018 was the most amazing year for Mindvalley. You can look this up. We launched Mindvalley membership. The company exploded. We scaled. Part of that was we had more energy as a team. We were thinking better. And this is why I'm so honored to bring you Eric Admedes and WildFit. Eric, on to you, and you can tell us what we're going to be teaching today. Okay? Eric, are you here? I'm just waiting for Eric to come on. Eric is behind, he's in the green room on Zoom. Hi, Vishen. There you go.

It turns out I was just speaking to the green room. Vishen, always a pleasure. I have to say, when you relay the story about what happened with your team and stuff, it really lets me know how long we've been doing this. And it reminds me of a funny little sidebar story. And that is that when we shot the first WildFit program, you sent a film crew to my home in Cabarete in Dominican Republic. And they came to shoot just to shoot, and they made lifelong changes and lost a bunch of weight just spending that week shooting the program. And every now and again when we were back at MVU now, I, I bumped into them and they're wearing their WildFit shirts and it's just, it's a real honor. Anyway, yeah, thanks very much for the intro.

Yeah, many of those, many of those people in that initial film crew are still with me and they look completely different 10 years later.

Yeah. Okay. Well guys, I, I, Sorry, go ahead.

Just before we begin, Eric, I just want to state the theme for today. The theme is this. It was never your willpower. And that's what I want to stress. This was never about willpower. Like many of you, I tried many diets. It was never about willpower. Okay? And what we're going to do is Eric is going to teach you a concept right now that many of you are already— it's going to change the way you see food. We're going to come back. I'm going to show you how the WildFit program works for those of you who want to join. And then, we're going to go back to Eric who's going to spend 30 minutes with you guys answering Q&As. Now, we also created a little something-something here. We had, of the thousands of people who did WildFit, we sent an email to all of them. And, typically, when you send an email and you say, would you be open enough to share your story? About 1% of people share their story. And, it's amazing because we collected all of these stories. And these stories, like people are sharing their before and after photos, people are sharing pictures of themselves in swimsuits. They are amazing stories. And we put all of this up for you to find people like you. Okay? So I'm going to send you a link to the site. As Eric is speaking, you can also browse this site. And this site, we believe in evidence. There's no marketing here. What we do on this site is we simply analyze all the case studies, and we are giving you the ability to analyze all the case studies. There's no edit. This is literally just what people said. Click the things that you care about. Let's say it's, okay, you want greater energy, you want to improve your sleep, and it'll show you exactly the stories from people like you that mention this. And then you can go click a story, browse, and read what happened to these individuals. Okay? We felt that the best way to describe WowFit and the incredible change that it gives you is to just allow you to browse a story database. So I'm going to paste this link in the chat. Feel free to go through it. To help you make the right decision if this is going to be a 90-day transformation that you want to be part of. Okay, I pasted the stories database there. Many of you are AI users. I want— go through it, analyze it, let the evidence speak for itself. Everything we put here, such as why it worked when others didn't, this doesn't come from us. This is what Wildfitters are saying. Back to you, Eric.

That's really cool. I can't wait to go through that myself, Vishen. Thanks very, very much. I want to tell you guys a little bit of the origin about how this all happened and why it's going to work for you. But I also want to underscore something very, very important that Vishen said, and it's kind of the theme of today, and that is that this was never about willpower. And I know that that seems like a big statement, and you guys can tell me in the chat if you think that me or Vishen are maybe a little bit crazy for suggesting that it was never about willpower. But I want to, I want to be really clear about what willpower is and why it doesn't work and why we're going to take a totally different approach. The short version for now, and we'll come to it more later, is this: telling you that it's all about willpower is a way of blaming you. That's, that's the idea. That's the way the diet industry has largely worked, is that, well, if only you ate less and if only you moved more, this wouldn't be your problem. And if only you stuck with our rules, this wouldn't be your problem. And I would argue that many of us have engaged in what you might even think of it as a semi-abusive relationship with diet programs, where it's like, here's all the promise in the world and here's the no effort you have to put in. And then after a week, which is the average amount of time somebody sticks with a program like that, when they fall off after about a week, then guess what they're told? Oh, you were weak. It was your willpower. And that's the very definition of, of gaslighting in an abusive relationship. It was never about willpower. If you feel like you've ever failed a diet, I I can tell you right now, it's not true that diet failed you, and you'll understand why as, as we go through this. My, my personal story here is really simple. I came from a medical family and, and yet I was sick. I had horrible allergies, sinus infections, throat infections, digestive problems. And I, I, I, the, the digestive problems I had were so bad that when I had the cramps, I couldn't walk, I couldn't think. And my mom just said, oh, it's just a trait in our family that people get those from time to time. And I, I lived that like that for a long time. Like, and I went to go see doctors, of course, because, you know, medical family, they're going to send you to go see doctors. And of course, they gave me a bunch of pills. They even gave me injections. I had to go in every week to go get these injections. They gave me these inhalants that I had to, you know, inhale, that I had to blast up into my sinuses. And then finally, I had a specialist come along and tell me, well, you know, the answer here is we've got to remove your tonsils. That's the problem. Your tonsils are the problem. And I was quite willing to agree with that because they were so swollen and bleeding and sore that I wanted them out. But then I had the quirkiest thing happen, and that was that, uh, you guys— I'm sure many of you guys are familiar with Tony Robbins. And, um, and he was coming to Vancouver, and a friend of mine called me up and said, we got to go see him. And we went to go see him. And then after that, I got this phone call, you got to go to this, this seminar with Tony Robbins. And I'm like, well, I already went to the— No, no, no, this is like a 3-day seminar. You got to go. And I went to this thing expecting to learn about sales and business, and I did. But then all of a sudden, Tony pointed me in a different direction. You know, he started talking about nutrition in ways that I hadn't heard before. And I came home thinking a lot about what he said and thinking about what I'd learned about human evolution and that kind of stuff. And I realized there were some dots that needed connecting here. And I ran a little food experiment. And in that food experiment, I increased the intake of some of these things, and I decreased the intake in some other things, but I did it with Initially with willpower, which you'll see was a bit of a mistake. But luckily, I was able to get through it. But here's the beauty: is I lost 35 pounds in a month. My mom came to pick me up at the airport; she didn't even recognize me. It was a crazy transformation. All of my symptoms went away. I got off all my medications. And by the way, the doctor called to confirm my tonsillectomy, and I said, "I'm not doing that. I'm not coming in." I come in for the checkup. And all they're trying to do is convince me to go for the tonsillectomy. Like they're not listening that I changed things. You would think they would look at the chart and they would see that I'd lost all this weight, that I was a distinctly different human being. But no, they just wanted to sell the surgery. And I, that wasn't working. And at that point, I started thinking more about what we think we know versus what we really know. I even asked my doctor. Now listen, what I'm about to say, you guys, I think now it's almost common knowledge. You guys can tell me in the chat if it's common knowledge to you. But I asked the doctor, now you have to remember, guys, this is 1991. And I, I was, you know, I was a kid, 21 years old, and I looked about 15. And I asked the doctor how long he'd been in medical school, and he told me he'd been in medical school for like 6 years. And, and I said, and, and of that 6 years, how much of that time did you spend studying nutrition? Anybody wanna guess in the chat how much time he spent studying nutrition to become a doctor?

A doctor.

Yeah, you guys are all guessing fairly well, but I, I want you to think about something. You know that now, but people didn't know that in 1991. They didn't. I'm telling you right now, I would go and tell people my doctor didn't study nutrition. They thought it was insane. They thought it was absolutely crazy. Do you know that until recently— I think America now is putting something in the medical programs to require nutrition study— but before that, there was only one country on the planet that did that. They they they they they didn't study nutrition at all, and so then what happens is is that you know we eat a certain way, we get sick, we go get a doctor to solve that problem, but we never solve the diet program or the diet problem, and the diet industry springs up. It springs up, and all of a sudden there's all these different fad diets that you can go on. And I want you to know something about this: any diet program that asks you to give up your favorite foods. On willpower and, and force is a recipe for failure and frankly self-esteem destruction. How many of you have been on more than 2 or 3 diets and you felt worse about yourself as you came out of the 3rd or 4th or 5th one? Anybody have that? Anybody? Yeah, I'm sure some of you have had that experience. And how about this? How many of you have made the firm promise, I will never do it again? I am not buying another diet book. I am not doing another diet program. I'm never doing it again. Who's made that promise? I know like hundreds, maybe even thousands of our clients have made that that promise over the years. I want to tell you, you you you you can absolutely do WildFit and still keep that promise because we will never ask you to go on a diet. Not ever. I want you to understand something about willpower. Willpower is a little bit like a talking stick. It's like. In the moment of your consciousness, you have willpower. Whoever's holding the stick is in control. But the minute you have a bit of a bad day or your energy's a little low or your blood sugar goes low, then, then the talking stick goes to somebody else and all of a sudden you're not in control anymore. Now let me ask you a question. How many of you have had the experience where there's another voice in your head? Okay, I know this is a bit tough. I'm admitting you— I'm, I'm asking you to admit that you might have a, a low-grade multiple personality disorder, but how many of you have ever heard another voice in your head? That has said something like this, but you you've been so good. You deserve it. I mean, you've stuck with it for so long. I mean, you got to live. Life is for the living. You know, you only live once. How many have heard at least a few of those sales clinchers? Those are internal dialogue sales clinchers. They they are designed and often programmed by the food industry to take away your. willpower, to take away your sense of, of power. They're, they're, they're, they're built in there. And the trouble is, is they're really, really good. You know what's really crazy? Researchers looked up long-term diet studies and found that up to, up to 66%, up to 2/3 of the people that went on a diet ended up heavier than when they started. Has anybody been through that where you've actually, like, maybe you've released some, but in the end you've actually ended up more than you were when you started? Has Has anybody had that? It's unbelievably common. It's unbelievably common. And so what I want you to know is it absolutely doesn't have to be that way. We have countless stories of people that have tried everything. I think you guys, I think there's a slide coming up and, and it's a woman who, you know, told us she had tried every single diet, all the pills, everything else. And then she dropped 46 pounds, or what is that? 7, 18, 19 kilograms. She took 89 inches off her body. And she didn't know that that was even possible. I really want you to hear me about this. You have never, ever failed a diet. The diet has, by structure, failed you. That's the way it works. And by the way, I want you to hear me about this because you do not have a willpower problem. You might have a hunger problem, and nobody taught you that there were 6 different hungers, and nobody showed you how to neutralize those hungers. They asked you instead to grin and bear it with willpower, and that was never, ever, ever going to work. You know, I, I want you to think about this. If somebody gives you a map, you know, if somebody gives you a map, or, or let me put it another way, a little bit more modern. If you open up Waze or Google Maps and you get in the car and Google Maps thinks you're in Albuquerque when you're really in Rome, And it tells you to turn left here, and then it tells you to go right here, and it tells you to go through this building over here. Are you? Is it your fault that you're lost, or is it the map's fault that you were lost? I'm going to suggest that it was the map's fault, not yours, and not yours at all. Now, I want you to. I want you to know that to perpetuate this whole thing, the diet industry has asked you to do a lot of things that. Are not only that do they not work, but they actually fight against you. So you guys can tell me in chat if you've tried any of these things only to find out that they really are either way too difficult or that they fundamentally fail. So here's, here's one. Count the calories. You got to count the calories so that you can like restrict the calories and you can do more work than the calories. Anybody try this? The counting the calories, doing all the math? I'll tell you right now. Calorie counting is the is the Enron accounting, or it's the it's it's the Bernie Madoff accounting of the nutrition industry. Counting calories is is pointless. And then you've been told you got to go to the gym. You got to go to the gym, right? Do you want to know who told you that? And by the way, I think we should go to the gym. We should go and get muscles and so on. But here's the challenge: they got it backwards. They started telling us if we go to the gym, we can eat whatever we want. Come on. I want to know— this is a moment of real honesty, guys— in the chat, I want to know how many of you have eaten something because you were going to go to the gym, or because you just went to the gym, you ate something that you normally wouldn't, but you just did the spin class, you just did the gym, and then— how many have done this, right? They programmed that into you on purpose. They did it on purpose. Here's how they did it. It started off with the soft drink industry. Suddenly people started getting really concerned about sugar. And so people started like wanting to not eat so much sugar, so they commissioned all these studies and they said, ah, if people just did more steps, if they did more spin classes, they could eat more sugar. And they are the ones that created that myth. And so now you've got these diet structures that are like, you can just go sweat the weight off. No, you can't. And I'm going to give you the third one, and it's related to the first one, but it's called starvation. How many of you have tried to starve the weight off only to find That it's unbelievably painful, hard to do for a long time, and often ends up with more weight than you started with. Anyone tried that one, the starving the weight off? I'm going to tell you a horrible truth right now. Starving the weight off activates conservation mode in your body. It literally makes your body want to store fat. That's what it does. When somebody puts you on a calorie restriction, starve yourself diet, it literally turns on Epigenetics, it literally turns on genes that want you to hold on to your fat and add on more the minute you have a possibility. So try this out. You go on a calorie restriction diet, right? You're starving yourself, you're in pain, you're suffering. And then at some point, that little voice goes, but you've been doing so well, you know, you, you deserve something better. And then you, you, you, you binge a little, right, on something. Now guess what's happening in your body after a week of this starving yourself? Your body's going, oh my God, I better be a good conservationist. It won't let go of its fat. Then you eat a bunch of stuff and binge, and the body goes, grab onto all that and add that on too. I just want you to know you didn't fail. They failed you. And they didn't only fail you. It's not that they gave you simply the wrong map. They gave you the wrong map on the wrong planet. They gave you a map that not only got you lost, but it actually sent you into dangerous neighborhoods. Neighborhoods of diabetes, neighborhoods of weight gain, neighborhoods of inflammatory problems, neighborhoods that require medication, neighborhoods that destroy your quality of life. This is where we begin to turn around. It was never about your willpower. It was about your hunger. It was about learning to understand your hunger. Now, at this point, having helped hundreds of thousands of people change their relationship with food. I have collected a lot, a lot of data. And there came this point one day when we realized that hunger wasn't just this one thing. You know, that, that, that's the way it was often talked about. Oh, I'm hungry. Are you? What does that mean? I'm hungry. Are you? Okay, here we go. There are 6 hungers. There are 6 hungers. And these hungers all influence Your cravings and influence how much food you want to eat. 6 forces that drive us to eat. Only one of them is actually a need for real food. The other 5 are faux hungers or fake hungers. So I'm going to give you an example of the 6 hungers. One of them is called thirst. And I know at this point I probably lose some of you. What do you mean thirst is not a form of hunger? Thirst is, is, is, is, you know, I want water, I want something to drink. Yes, I understand. But what I really want you to understand is that water bottles are brand new, and so is plumbing for that matter, and so is ready supply of water. In fact, I don't know if any of you guys have a glass of water near you. I'd love for you to go get one. I'd love you to grab a glass of water. If you've got a water bottle with you, I'd love you. I'd like you to try a little experiment with me. But here's what's crazy is our ancestors didn't have water bottles and they didn't have water around them all the time. So what did they do? What they often did was get their water from the food they were eating, from the food they were eating. So what did that mean? Well, it meant that when they went and ate this berry, they got some water. When they ate this root vegetable, they got water. Even when they went hunting, the meat that they ate, the, the, the meat and shellfish and things that they ate. were so fresh that they were also very high in water content compared to what is around today. So almost everything they ate had a lot of water in it. Now, does that make sense? Are you guys with me on this? Do we agree that there's water in most naturally occurring foods, right? And there's water. Okay. Now, now let's just take it a step further. Imagine that your body— I really want you guys— I don't want to tell you this. I want you to experience it. Imagine that you are a little dehydrated. You're a little low on water and your body wants water, but you don't have a water bottle and you don't have a water fountain and you don't have a fridge and you don't have a water cooler and there's no water near you. What message should your body send you to get you to go get some water? What message do you think, given that the food has water in it, what message should you get?

Eat.

That's it. You guys are nailing it. You got it right there. Eat. Go get some food. And it doesn't even matter really which food because they all have some water in it. Clearly, a piece of fruit might be best. Clearly, some root vegetables might be good. But the truth is, eat something. It'll have water in it. And so we have this old outdated type of hunger called thirst. And I want you to notice something. And by the way, any of you guys who have water, don't— maybe you've already been drinking it, but I want you to just I want you to think about how you feel about hunger in this moment, and then what I'd like you to do is drink down some of the water. Drink down some of the water, and in a moment I'm going to ask you if you feel any different. Not yet, because it'll take a moment. I just want you to drink down some of the water and let's see what happens. Now, something really powerful, a little data point that is shocking: a large percentage of the population is mildly dehydrated on any given day. Most people are a little dehydrated. If you guys know about the finger test, you can, you can pinch the finger, the, the skin on the top of your finger there, and the longer it takes for it to settle back down, the more dehydrated you are. If it just springs back down, like mine's pretty good, it just springing back down, it means you're full of water. But most people are quite low on water most of the time. So most people have one of their hungers activated all the time. I think you can see where that would be a problem. Now, obviously, what we really want to do is learn as much as we can about the different hungers that drive our eating decisions, because if we do that, then we can learn how to neutralize them properly. Because it's not any one hunger that, that really, like, puts somebody over the edge. It's when the hungers gang up on each other and join— gang up on you and join together, right? That's the real problem. So, for example, with thirst, can anybody tell me how you might neutralize hunger number one, thirst? How would you neutralize it? I know it sounds like a really obvious question, but it's a subtlety. So I want to, I want to see how do you neutralize thirst as a form of hunger?

Let's see.

Let's see. Let's see. Drink water, electrolytes, drink water more frequently. Yep. Generally speaking, that's the, uh, that's the answer, but I want to offer distinction. The answer is not to hydrate, it's to prehydrate. It's to drink in anticipation of dehydration. It's to drink to prevent thirst and to prevent that hunger, not to drink in response to it. I, I play a lot of padel and I do a lot of sports and that kind of stuff, and people always are amazed how little I drink. Like when I've run a marathon, I don't tend to drink a great deal during the marathon. And people are like, how are you doing that? I drink like crazy for the days before an activity like that. I want as much water in my system and in my fat cells before I even begin. I prehydrate. So I suggest prehydration is gonna be one of the ways you neutralize a hunger. So I, I, I think that this gives you a sense of one way that you can neutralize a hunger. But then I want you to imagine, imagine what happens if you're a little dehydrated and then you bump into one of the other 5 hungers. So. Another hunger is nutritional hunger. Nutritional hunger, right? And this is the only genuine one. And this is when you are like running low on vitamins, running low on minerals, running low on amino acids, running low on nutritional constituents that you need to get from your food. That's the true hunger. And of course, the best way to neutralize that is to eat nutritionally relevant food. But that's a whole webinar all by itself. What I do want to point out is a little bit of a problem. How many of you have occasionally— I'm just saying occasionally, I'm not— I'm just saying occasionally— how many of you have occasionally addressed your hunger and eaten something that was really low on the nutritional payoff list? Anyone? Anyone? Occasionally you, you, you, you felt hunger and then you ate something that didn't really have a lot of vitamins, minerals, or amino acids, right? So think about that. You're eating a food that doesn't address the hunger, and you wonder why you want to keep eating it. In fact, there are some foods that trigger your hunger. We'll get that in a minute. Now there's another one called emotional hunger, and this is like eating in order to change how you feel. I'm sure none of you have ever done that, but I def— I'm kidding. I'm sure you all have. I have too. This is a very important one to understand because you can begin to realize that You might have a feeling, and somewhere in your life you were taught that the answer to that feeling is a particular food, right? You know, you skinned your knee, and and then all of a sudden you felt like you know you need a cookie because somebody oh or it's a piece of chocolate or something like that can definitely help you. So I want you to notice that, but it's not just emotional hunger on the on uncomfortable emotions. We also have celebratory eating things like well we had a big day. There's certain things we have to eat. So really understanding your emotions relative to food is important, and that's why we do a deep dive into emotional hunger. Low blood sugar hunger. I really this is this is a really key one, and and I'm going to come back to it in a minute. But I just I know every now and again I do this one, and people go that's not a form of hunger at all. It totally is. It communicates as hunger. If your blood sugar crashes, what do you want to do? You want to eat something that has sugar in it. Is that nutritional hunger? Not at all. Not at all. It's just simply a state of being in your body that triggers you to want to go get some sugar very quickly. We'll, we'll come back to that in a little bit more detail. Now, variety. Variety is another form of hunger, and the best way to describe it is, is 2 ways: its purpose and then how it manifests. Its purpose is that if you're living in nature and there's one food that's available all the time, You might eat that food because it's easy and it doesn't take any risk. Like, there's some root vegetables, you're just eating them all the time. Why hunt? Why go climb the cliff for the special berries? Why do all that when it's just sitting here ready to go? But of course, it is not complete. It doesn't have everything you need. And so, your body pushes for variety. Our ancestors have typically eaten hundreds of different plant species in a year, or not just plant species, but all species in a year. And so guess what happens at that point is when you, when you limit yourself, your body starts calling out for variety. And, and here's how it manifests. You're sitting with— anybody had this one? You're sitting with a group of friends and you're like, hey, do you guys wanna go for dinner? Yeah, let's go for dinner. Hey, let's have sushi. Oh no, I had that 2 days ago. I couldn't possibly have it 2 days in a row. Right? Like our ancestors basically ate the same meals day in and day out, and variety had to push them to go get other options. We can have variety every day. Not only that, we can have variety every meal of the day. Not only that, we can have variety on our plate. in the meal. Little clue there, by the way. What do you think's easier to digest? A really complicated meal with a bunch of different types of food, or a single food? Interesting, interesting observation. Then the next type of hunger. This is called empty stomach hunger. Empty stomach hunger is the hunger that is not a hunger at all. It is simply the fact that your stomach is empty. And by the way, any of you have done any kind of fasting? You tell me in the comments, isn't it true that you can get to a place where you separate the feeling of an empty stomach from the feeling of hunger and actually can enjoy the feeling of an empty stomach? Anybody who's fasted, tell me if that's true for you. You've been able to get to a place where you've been able to sep— there you go, lots of people. The problem for most of us is, is that we're nutritionally hungry most of the time. We have low blood sugar problems through the day. We have emotional hunger problems, and then that gangs up with the empty stomach. And the next thing you know, we're eating a Mars bar. The next thing you know, and some of you can admit to me that you've been in this situation or not, you're at the grocery store, okay? And you're shopping and you're getting all the responsible stuff, but then you see that thing. You know, I don't know what it is for you, but you see the thing that you want and you get that thing and you put it in a special spot in the grocery cart. So it doesn't end up hidden in one of the bags. Has anybody done this? Anyone? And then, then you, you, you get it. And when they're putting the stuff through, you're, you're scanning or they're scanning for you, whatever. And you're loading up the bags. You hold that one thing to the side. Come on. Who has held that one thing to the side? Then you held that one thing to the side. Then you got in the car to drive home and you scarfed that one thing down in the car so that the kids wouldn't see you eat it when you got home, or your husband or your wife, or whatever the case might be. Anyone done that one? Yeah, a little— lots of personal honesty in the chat. Love to see it. What happened to you in that moment is that a bunch of hungers ganged up on you. But here's the really tough part. What the really tough part is this: I'm going to guess that many of you, and I'd really like to know this, little market research, have been living between the 2 regrets. The one regret The one regret is that I ate that thing. How many of you have had regret for the thing you ate? And I'd like to know if you've had it and what the thing was. What did you eat and then you had regret? How many of you guys had the regret for the thing you ate and what was it? Huge regret. Sweets, donuts, sweets, donut. Donuts coming up quite a lot. A lot of police on the call here. Pizza, chocolate. Sweet sorry police. Just a joke. Ice cream. Okay, there's a lot of regret, but now watch this. How about the next regret, which is the regret that you can't eat the thing you really want because you made some stupid willpower-based diet decision, and now you're sitting there and it's calling your name? It's going, eat me, eat me! And now you're sitting there with regret that you committed to changing. Who's lived with that regret? the other regret. A matter of fact, I'd like to know how many of you have found yourself bouncing between the 2 regrets in your life. The regret about what you ate, the regret about what you can't eat, the regret about what you ate and the regret about what you can't eat. That is a recipe for weight gain and metabolic problems and inflammation and all kinds of, all kinds of stuff. It, it, it's a very difficult, difficult way to be. And so I, I want you to think about The last time that you ate when you weren't really hungry, like, you know, the late night snack, uh, maybe the thing at the office at 4 o'clock in the room. I don't, I'm not asking you to, to judge it, but what I'm asking you to think about is if you look back at it, was it that you might've been a little thirsty, or was it maybe that you didn't start the day with a really good bit of nutrition? Or Was it maybe that you were feeling a little stressed or bored and it was a distraction? Or was it maybe that you had eaten something sweet a little bit before and maybe it made your energy crash from a blood sugar and now you're hungry? Or were you simply just bored with what you've been eating and looking for some variety? Or how about this? Maybe it was late enough in the day and your stomach was empty and you were just wanting to fill the empty feeling. I would like to know, out of those 6 hungers, when you think back to a time when you ate something at night or at the office when you weren't really all that hungry, I'd like to know how many of those 6 hungers can you feel were triggering you? How many of them can you feel were influencing you? I'd love to know. Was it 1 or 2? Was it 3 or 4? Was it all 6? What do you think was going on? And, and if you can even tell me which ones it was. Now, I'd like you to check in with something very quickly. For those of you who had that glass of water to test, or the bottle of water, I'd love to know, after drinking it— it's been a few minutes, it's been about 15— did you feel any change to your hunger after drinking that water? Did you feel any difference? For those of you who did, there's a few reasons you're going to do that. But the one is that you partially hydrated. You began to hydrate. The truth is it'll take a lot longer for the water to really get into you, but you began to. But the other one is, is that you neutralized your empty stomach feeling. You gave yourself a little variety. You gave yourself a little change. Preemptively drinking is really incredible. What we want to avoid, what we really want to avoid, is letting those hungers gang up on us. Now, I said I'd come back to low blood sugar hunger, and I want to do that. Low blood sugar hunger is not actually a hunger. Like I said, only one of these is an actual form of hunger. Low blood sugar hunger is a state of energy. You've burned through your blood sugar supply and your body wants more fast. And this is where your body would ultimately benefit from metabolizing some of the fat that's on your system. But before it does that, it will beg to you for sugar. It will beg you for sugar. And this is the moment when bad choices get made. Come on now, who has made a bad choice? Blood sugar's crashed at some point in the afternoon. They suddenly— oh, and you guys, how many of you have ever been hangry? That's, you know, that's what I'm talking about, right? Or fungry. I'm not defining that one for you, but some of you guys know about hangry. Some of you guys know about fungry. All right. That's not hunger at all. That's a stuck metabolism. That means that you likely don't have very strong metabolic flexibility, and one of the reasons for that is that our ancestors grew up with a great relationship with carbohydrates. But guys, I'm going to tell you some good news. Good news: sugar is not evil. It's not like sugar by itself is not evil. Evil—it's not evil on its own. Your ancestors, all of them, lived with a great relationship with carbohydrates. They lived with a fantastic relationship. The challenge is, is that Mother Nature would occasionally force, you know, a change of carbohydrates on our population and our ancestors. Today, we have access to them all the time, and so our bodies get stuck burning sugar all the time, and then we get metabolically stuck. I'm going to tell you something really important, you guys. I don't know how many of you guys are interested in longevity these days. I hope all of you are, but longevity only matters if your quality of life is improved with it. There's no point living longer and suffering, right? And what I want you to know is that one of the most powerful influences on your longevity and quality of life is something called metabolic flexibility. Metabolic flexibility means that your body can switch between fuel sources quickly and easily whenever it needs to. That's what it really means. And, and, and if your body can't do that, then you get metabolically stuck. And the results of that are things like weight gain, uh, hormonal imbalance, diabetes, prediabetes. All that kind of stuff. The one switch that everybody's good at— nobody has metabolic stickiness when it comes to switching back to sugar. Everyone can do that. If you are in fat-burning mode and you eat carbohydrates, bam, you will become a sugar burner right away, instantly, and easily, because sugar is so toxic that if you didn't switch, you would die. But if you are primarily a sugar burner, it's going to be really, really difficult For your body to switch over, and getting that metabolic flexibility back is really what you want. For some people, once they do the right steps, once we guide them through the process, they just wake up and they go, "I'm a new person." For other people, it's like a dimmer switch. Monday they feel it; Tuesday it gets a little stronger. But I'll tell you right now, when you make this switch happen, it changes everything. And I, I just want to underscore this: we don't want to use injections to switch the switch. Like, it's not the right way to do it. I want you to know something about the various miracle weight loss drugs that have come out over the years. They, they've been coming out for decades and decades. The ones that are out now are just the latest batch, and, and, you know, they, they are effective in some ways and they have consequences in others. But the big batch of them now are really fascinating because here's the deal: the injections are a synthetic copy of something your body already makes. No kidding. Like, you can make your own injections and not have to stick yourself with a needle. You can make it internally.

Yes. Um, just, just to follow the timing, I'm gonna— we're gonna come back to you in a moment. I just wanted to present to people the— for people who have to leave in the next, uh, 17 minutes, I wanted to quickly present the, uh, absolutely start times, the program, and then we'll come back to Eric and we're going to go deeper and Eric's going to answer your questions. Okay. Okay. So first thing is I did share the website with you guys, and I'm going to paste it in the chat again. I'm also balancing a little puppy on my lap. It's my new dog. He's been feeling very, very, very attention-starved. Okay, so on this website, firstly, many of you have questions, and we wanted to try something really new here rather than just speak about WildFit in terms of how we believe in it. We put up the stories of over 800, actually 766 WowFitters. We actually have an additional 300 stories that we're going to add. And if you go here, there's a little button called See If It's Right for You. Click on that and do the quiz. Okay? So, let's say, you know, you're tired all the time or you feel that you've already tried eating An eating plan. Sorry, I got to put the puppy down. I'm just going to give you one final look, and then he's like nibbling on my, my thighs as I'm trying to like teach. Good boy. Okay. All right. Now, when you, you choose when you're eating, you choose what would make the biggest difference to you in 90 days. You choose your age, let's say 65 and older. Okay. And then you choose how much weight you would like to lose. Now what happens is it will directly directly over here. It will directly tell you the archetype that you're in. So we looked at all our customers. They fall into 8 different buckets. It's impossible to say, okay, WildFit is just for losing weight, because for a lot of people, including me, it was the I'm always tired bucket. That was me. And what happened when my body was able to tap into this new source of energy without relying on sugar? Like, I literally had to eat a Mars bar at 5:00 PM every day. For a pick-me-up so I can continue work. When my body learned to tap into fat reserves, everything changed. And then what happens is when you find your archetype, you see in this particular archetype, there are 234 stories. It represents 31% of Wildfitters. And what we let you do is you can go and you can read all 231 stories. Now, I'm not expecting you to read all of this. I put it here because I know Evidence means a lot to you guys. I know that you're too smart for marketing speak. You want to see the results, and these are all real results. And we are honestly so grateful for those of you, the, the over 1,000 people who submitted their pictures, because we know this took daring and it took boldness. So, you know, thank you to this man, Ryan Jordan from Johannesburg. But we put it up there because we want you to just browse for yourself to see people like you. Okay? So don't just hear it from us. Hear it from our other Wildfitters. Now let me tell you how the program works. Okay? So many benefits of this program. We're gonna go fast, but you can read about all of these benefits in the words of our students on that website I give you. I'll paste it over here again so you have it. And Mindvalley team who's managing the webinar, if you could keep pasting it in the chat every 3 minutes. Okay? So firstly, it improves your overall health, amplify your energy. 31% of people, by the way, who submitted case studies, this was the biggest thing they got. Strengthens your immunity. Before WildFit, when I took WildFit, my daughter was 3. And, you know, kids, they crawl in bed with you and they come back from preschool with all sorts of, like, cooties. And when they cuddle in bed with you and they sneeze in your face, often you get sick. And I was getting a cough or a cold every 3 months. After doing WildFit, I became immune to my kids' cooties, and that was a really good feeling. Now, 4, you upgrade your eating habits. You start wanting the things which are good for you. My vegetable, my fiber went up. My 5 PM Mars bar binging disappeared. I started switching from 2 Starbucks lattes a day and occasionally a frappuccino to just black coffee and loving it. You regain your youthfulness. I just did a longevity score and I am actually younger based on my glycan age than I was before WildFit even though 10 years have elapsed. Now, to share this with you, I want to share with you a little video. Okay. So, let me share my screen. We were at an event recently and we invited everyone in the audience who had done WildFit to just come on stage, and authentically share their stories. Watch what happened. Dan, please stand. Thank you so much. Now I'd like to invite the WildFitters to come on stage, please. So if WildFit has transformed your life, come on stage with me. Look, look at the sheer number of people over here. Does anybody have a Crazy WildFit story of how WildFit transformed you? Yes. I was on antidepressants for eight years.

WildFit, no antidepressants anymore. I stopped drinking alcohol as a result of WildFit.

Wow.

Shit, I've shed 50 pounds. I thought I had chronic blocked nose, but it was due to dairy. I got rid of Coke and potato chips for life. Who else? I can sleep again.

You can sleep again. Amazing. Who else?

I had enough energy to start my business at 48.

I'm 77 and I only take one medication. 77 and only one medication.

WellFit not only changed my relationship with food, I no longer binge eat, but it changed my relationship with myself and the way that I understand my own thoughts and emotions. I used to walk a little limp, now I run.

And by the way, was it difficult or was it easier than you expected? Everyone. Everyone says easier than you expected. Everyone should do this. Thank you, guys. And that was unplanned. This is just people in the audience. Now notice what they said. Everyone says easier than expected. How many of you have had your lives changed by walking? So, so powerful. Easier than expected. Okay? So if you're sick of diets and weight loss programs, this could be probably one of the most important invites in your life. Now, how does it work and what happens? Now, I've told you about Eric. Eric, you know, there's so many amazing things I can say about him. I mean, to say that he transformed the health of myself, my family, and over 100 of my employees and their spouses, I think, is testament enough. But Eric recently was awarded a medal by the Canadian Senate But the work he did in transforming the health of people in Canada. Now, there are so many before-after photos. These are from people who took WildFit. And again, I'm so grateful for you guys for having the, the courage to actually photograph yourself and share these images because they wanted to inspire the rest of you to do this. So look at the transformations. You know, you can see these are visible, these are real. Some people, they post the photos like in the reverse order. So here, this is the before and that's the after. That's sort of like what I experienced. Okay, uh, we gave you the link to see if WildFit meets your unique needs because we know that each of you is different. But we hope out of the 800 or so stories you find here, there'll be stuff that inspires you. Now here's some other stories that we feel so much more comfortable holding space for myself.

The whole mentality shift is just Really amazing.

When I'm able to do stuff like that, those are some of the hugest wins.

Okay, Pushpanaya from India released 23 kilograms of weight, weighing 27 pounds lost in 90 days. Adam, this is interesting, his asthma disappeared and he lost 18 pounds. I mean, look at that transformation. Sarah lost 25 pounds without even trying. Danielle lost 30 pounds. Jerry, okay, day 1 to day 91, look at the transformation in her face. She released 22 pounds and 14 inches overall. 90 days. I wanna stress again, 90 days, 9-0. That's 3 months, which means you are in a new body in time to impress your partner for Valentine's Day. Akshay Sharma lost 19 kilograms. Peter Gussoon, look at that. That's what— this cannot be 88. No, he didn't lose 88 kilograms. He's down to 88 kilograms. He started out at 105 kilograms. Okay. Katrin Kozodi lost 18 inches, 9 pounds. Lost 70— released 65 pounds. 15 days later, still releasing weight. Ultimately, 75 Okay, look at that transformation. I think the biggest complaint people have about WildFit is they have to redo their entire closet, which is a pretty, you know, expensive trip to H&M. But in today's world, clothes are so cheap. I say just do it. Bettina lost 18 kilograms effortless. And one of the things you will notice is the ease. Diets can be challenging. Eric practices a form of, um, you know, it's, it's one of the things about Eric that, that I guess you guys gotta know is Eric is a transformation architect. In fact, last year in January, he received an award, Transformational Architect at Mindvalley. It's because Eric's methodology of creating change is so effective. People stick to his programs, highest stickiness rate, and he now actually teaches other Mindvalley authors how to create transformational programs where it's effortless to continue.

Yeah.

That's one of the reasons why WildFit works so well and why people say it's easy. Okay? You can ask Eric about that. We're gonna go deeper with Eric, a full 30 minutes with Eric. He'll tell you about that. But again, let's look at all of these amazing stories. And, you know, of all the programs in Mindvalley, WildFit is the one that creates the most dramatic changes. So many people go and tell their friends, their bosses. I mean, because when you walk into an office, and you look different, the big question you often get is, did you do surgery? Was it Ozempic? Did you do something to your face? And when they say, no, completely natural. All I did was I followed a program for 90 days. That's when more and more people came in. Madeline, she's actually one of my customer support staffers. Not only did she lose 20 pounds, her acne And rosacea went down dramatically. Vincent, 32 pounds. Odie, 26 pounds. Calvin, 28 pounds. Marcus, 22 pounds. Again, look at these pictures. It's so fascinating to see. Okay, so ask yourself, have you ever dreamed of fitting into something maybe a couple of sizes lower, having more energy? Having better skin. You know, I know people. I had a friend who was starting to get a double chin, okay? Sort of like this man over here and was thinking about going for surgery. 90 days of WildFit, the face change, didn't need to go for surgery. Now look at David Jensen, who's a performance coach in Montreal. Look at his face. Those look like 2 completely different individuals. And here's the dramatic thing. The face change Happened in 90 days. Okay, so here's how the program works. Okay, 90 days to your natural best shape of your life. Okay, 90-day program, and this program is live with you. Eric is going to explain everything. It's live with you. Eric is there with you. There are 3 parts to the program, 3 months. Part 1 is discovering what your body needs. Okay, part 2 is allowing your natural human diet to take over. Part 3 is releasing weight rapidly and then how to keep it off. I went from 22% body fat to 14% body fat. 10 years later, I'm now not 40, I'm 50, but I'm still at 14% body fat. So, I can attest to what Eric said. Okay? Now, this is the numbers that matter. 123 countries, 91% program completion rate. Now, most diets, the completion rate is under 10%. WildFit has a 91% completion rate. We're not gonna say everyone finishes, but 91% is a pretty good number. Okay? Now, we do this once a year. The last time we did this WildFit run on Mindvalley was more than 17 months ago. And that's because this is a program where Eric is heavily invested. He's guiding you, and Eric teaches um, other programs on Mindvalley as well. He teaches entrepreneurship, he teaches public speaking. He is a busy man. And that's why we only do this once a year with this depth, with this attention. Okay? So, what we're doing, this is not the regular WildFit where you're just watching videos. It's live immersion. It's live calls. And we start together and we finish together. It begins October 12th on Monday. And there will be QA, there will be questions and answers. Eric will be going live. There will be support staffers. There will be a community. We are going into this as a team. Now, there's going to be a couple of other bonuses. There's going to be 5 additional calls on how to transform your family's health. Remember I told you about our employee from Egypt? He would just get on a call with his brother and excitedly share about what was happening to his body. He lost 51 pounds. His brother lost 20. And this is a really beautiful thing we see. When you start understanding this dynamics of how food and body and nutrition works, it spreads to everyone who matters to you. Okay? And then, we're also bringing a tribe element to it. You'll be in the WildFit tribe and you'll be able to interact with other members. Okay? So, this is everything. 19 calls, October 12th, Monday, Wednesday, Friday for the first 2 weeks. And then, we go to once a week. Eric's going to take you through everything. Now, also, many Mindvalley authors have been guests— Ken Honda, Marie Diamond, Paul Shealy, who runs Learning Strategies. The program is $899 exclusive for this launch. When we first launched this, it was $1,500. Now, we recognize that there are people on this call who might be from India, from Philippines, from other countries where the currency level may not be, uh, as equal to the US dollar. And if you— we went through every single country, every single country that our community comes from, and we adjusted the pricing for people who are in the developed world. So $899 is the price for the majority of our audience, which is in the US, Western Europe, Dubai. But in many other countries, we have lowered the price because we believe, you know, we want to make this accessible to as many people as possible. So if you're coming in from, say, India, you are going to see a lower price, okay? Now, the 90-day challenge starts Monday, October 12th. And this is the QR code and there's the special website. Now remember, this is with a discount. So go to mindvalley.com/wildfit/special. Please be sure to add the /special. This will be up until Monday. This is where you will get the discount. Thank you so much. I'm now going to leave you with Vishen. Thank you so much, Vishen. eric@medis. Okay. And, um, Shika, uh, who's on my team, uh, Shika will share the links. Uh, so Shika, please keep posting the link. Shika will, every 3 minutes, she will post the link to this, but please take a copy of this. Every 5 minutes, Shika on my team will post a link to the, um, the, the stories database where you can browse and see what people are saying so you can make up your mind. Now, Eric will also tell you about the guarantee. Okay. So Eric, when I hand it back to you, you can share the guarantee with everyone. Thank you, folks. Bye.

Hey, thanks so much, Vishen, and welcome back, everybody. I'm just honored to be here. I think what with the core— I think I wanted to answer that question about the guarantee. We are so confident that the program works that we actually offer a guarantee. And that's not very typical of health-related programs and so forth. But our guarantee is based on a very simple principle, and that is that if you do the program, and you're not happy with the results, we give you the money back. There's some minimum levels of what do the program means. You've got to watch a certain percentage of the videos, show up for a couple of the live calls, do your front-end measurements so you've got something to compare with. And that way, you know, we can really know— you can really know whether or not you achieve what it is you achieve to do. We're here to take care of you. We are so confident it'll work that we guarantee it. Um, now, uh, Mindvalley team, how are we going to do Q&A here? Are you guys going to field them to me, or what's the plan? Alright, failing that answer, I'm gonna just jump in and answer questions that I see come. Oh, go ahead.

I'm here. I'm here. So we could ask if everybody in the webinar could just put in their questions in Q&A box.

There's already a bunch of questions in the Q&A. Have you guys been okay? I'll, I'll, I'll just try and read them from there. If you could field them to me, that would be really great. Absolutely. Let's see.

I can, I can moderate this for you, Eric. Um, so for the most upvotes, um, one of the questions says, any results from women? The metabolism and hormonal interacts are different. How would WildFit—

Yeah, women. Yeah, I mean, I, I would say that, um, about, I don't know, 85% of our clients around the world are actually women. And, um, and you can imagine that the majority of them are women between the ages of about 45 and 70. And of course, you know, there's a variety of changes that go on during that time. And what we've heard time and time again is that by developing a better metabolic flexibility and a better relationship with food, that that entire process is significantly easier. That hormone balance is, is like where it becomes really difficult is when the body's out of balance in other ways as well. So if somebody's dehydrated, if they're malnourished, and most importantly, if they're metabolically stuck, if their metabolism isn't working really well, then the rest of the system operates much more difficultly. It's much more difficult. One little disclaimer we offer is that for women that are in that first 12 months of menstruation cessation, it's absolutely routine for their menstrual cycles to restart again while they're on the program. And I'm not exactly sure of the mechanism. We kind of think of it as the clock going back a little bit at that stage. But we've routinely heard from people that some of the harsher symptoms of hormone imbalance Are definitely assisted by developing metabolic flexibility and improving the relationship with food. It's, it's, it's a big part of our, of our market experience.

Awesome. We got another question. What about fasting? Isn't that supposed to be beneficial for weight loss?

Ah, and I can tell from the way that question is asked, it relates to the comment that I made earlier about when people put themselves on a calorie restriction diet that they activate this thrifty gene problem. Fasting is absolutely a good idea done properly, and that is something that we, that we, that we discuss quite heavily in the program and the right structure for doing it. But I'll give you a quick, quick answer on that now. The first thing is, is that what people routinely call intermittent fasting now is something that we call— it's a part of what we call natural ancestral rhythms. One way to think about that is, can you guys tell me what your ancestors ate for breakfast on the majority of mornings of their lives up until agriculture? They ate body fat. I mean, they didn't have a fridge and they didn't have Uber Eats and that kind of stuff. And so they had to get up and move around. And so what we think of today as intermittent fasting is really just duplicating the reality of what time used to be like for our ancestors. The idea that you really wouldn't have your first meal until you got up and moved around a little bit, and you would typically stop looking for food when the sun went down. So now we call that intermittent fasting, and I think it's a very good lifestyle to have from time to time. And then longer-term fasting, you know, upwards of 3 days or so, I believe is one of the most powerful anti-cancer protocols that you could do. It's, and it gets incredibly healthy. It, it really, um, your body switches over to protein burning and, and it doesn't burn good healthy proteins. It burns old broken amino acid chains and peptides and it, it burns the stuff your body doesn't need anymore. And you want that burnt out. So fasting is definitely a good idea when it's done properly. I, I'll give you a clue what I mean about when it's done properly. Unfortunately, a lot of this sort of, you hippie-dippy fasting centers will take you in there and then they'll, they'll put you on fruit as a way of sort of weaning you slowly off food. And I'll tell you, and then they'll break the fast with fruit. That is an incredibly bad idea. Um, if you— unless you would like Candida. If you would like a Candida explosion, then that might be a good plan for you. But that— there, there is a more natural rhythm for the way fasting should be conducted. And if you do it properly, it is cleansing, healing, rebuilding, and it is a little fountain of youth all by itself.

Awesome. Thank you. We have Vivian asking, I may have missed it. However, have you addressed the differences between WildFit and weight loss injections?

Yeah, I mean, I talked a little bit about that, and I will say this. Listen, listen, I get it. A huge number of people are now taking these various GLP medications for weight loss and so on. And I really understand the temptation. I do. And frankly, of the miracle drugs that have come along over the last 30 or 40 years, they're the best ones so far. You know, They're not without their consequences, but what I would suggest to you is that the biggest consequence is not the one that you see all the biohackers talking about. You know, they'll, they're talking about muscle loss and there's some big lawsuit about blindness and all that kind of stuff. You know, those things are few and far between and they have to be paid attention to. But here's the one that I'd really be cautious of. If you think about the 6 hungers and then you use an injection to diminish those 6 hungers, right? To push them down. Then what's going to happen when you stop taking the injections is those hungers are going to come back, but you'll have no character left. You'll have no strength. You'll—you were using a crutch to defeat them, and so when they come back, they'll come rushing back. And so where I where I have some problems with those treatments is that the way they're sold right now is you know take it for a little while and solve your problem. That is not the case. It's take it for a little while now and take them again for the rest of your life, which is super profitable. I mean, if you're If your pension is invested in pharmaceuticals, this is awesome for you. But if it's your body, then I think that why not just make your own peptides, which you can do? There are certain foods that trigger those GLP-1 reactions in you that are naturally satiating. And so you can do it yourself. You don't have to pay for it. You don't have to find out if it's covered by insurance. You can do it for yourself. And that's something that we explore and show you clearly in the course of the WildFit program. Great question.

We have Susan saying, I have over 100 pounds to lose, but I want to get healthy. Is this a good program for me?

Well, Susan, I mean, I have to say, anytime you're asking the person who's selling it, you're going to get the answer you want. I always joke with my wife about this. We go into the restaurant and she goes, is the butternut soup good? And I'm like, have they ever said no? Have they ever said no to you? No, they haven't. But I'm going to tell you, absolutely it is, and I'll tell you why. Here's a quirky thing. I'm curious in the chat, how many of you guys think that WildFit is a weight loss program? I mean, based on what you've seen, based on what you've seen and the testimonials and the pictures, and how many of you guys feel like it's probably a weight loss program? Okay, some of you know the answer and you're writing no, or maybe you, you, you intuited it. But no, it isn't. It was never designed as a weight loss program. It was designed as a food psychology program that served the purpose of improving your relationship with food and changing your neurology so you didn't have to rely on willpower, improving your nutrition so that you are healthier, and developing and maintaining metabolic flexibility so you can stay healthier for longer and live longer. Those were the key things, which leads to peak performance in sports, enhanced memory, better sex drive. It, it leads to everything. It also happens to lead to right-sizing, and right-sizing means for the majority of people in the developed world, releasing weight, but it also means for the people who are underweight the possibility of, of putting on weight as long as they're doing exercise to support the weight gain. So what I would say to you is that the challenge is most people that are like overweight, and particularly if they're quite seriously overweight, here's the irony: they are literally malnourished. That is to say, they don't have enough vitamins, they don't have enough minerals, they don't have enough amino acids. They're malnourished and they've stored too much energy. So they're weirdly starving while over-energized. And now, now what we do is we tell them to restrict their calories, to starve themselves. They were already starving. They were literally storing energy and starving of nutrition. And now we told them to cut their calories further, and we wonder why after a week they can't handle it anymore, because they were already starving. And so what we suggest is that The first thing to do is to return to health, is to return to health and return to metabolic balance, and then let your body do its thing after that, which will be releasing weight. And so yes, I absolutely believe that it's the right thing for you. And I'm not just saying that because I'm the waiter in the restaurant selling the best butternut soup.

Um, Eric, um, a lot of them wanted to, uh, ask you about— can you go back to talking about body's natural switch instead, instead of needing injection?

Yeah, yeah, this is really important. Um, metabolism is energy management, right? Your metabolism is how your body manages energy. And some animals, they just manage one kind of energy. Crocodiles, they just eat meat. They just, they process protein and that's all they have to worry about. That's what they do. They just do that one, one metabolism. They're like a car that just has one gear. That's all they do. And by the way, when you run an engine like that, it's pretty cool. Do you know that they only need to eat like once or twice a year? Like they can literally eat a buffalo and then that's it for the year. That's that kind of metabolism. We, we don't, we don't have that one. We have 3 gears. We burn sugar, we burn fat, and we burn protein. And under burning fat, we burn ketones. Like we, you know, we burn fat and, and ketones, but we, we are sugar burners. Fat burners and protein burners, and it is important that we shift gears and that we do all three of those things because they all do different things. Burning sugar only gives us energy and deals with our dietary sugars; otherwise, it doesn't really have any benefit. It burns hot and it kind of ages you a little faster. You don't really want to be doing that all the time. Burning fat, well, I mean, it burns fat. It takes your your you're supposed to gain and lose, release and lose, like release and gain, release and gain over the course of the seasons. And so burning fat helps you to do that and maintain that metabolic balance. And burning protein is a cleansing mechanism. It's like your body going around and looking for old broken proteins to burn out so you can cleanse yourself. It's important that your body does all of those things, but the majority of us living in the developed world, we are living with something called evolutionary mismatch. That is that our environment is no longer a match for our DNA, and we're not doing it. Most of us are burning sugar most of the time. And that's not ideal. What we want to do is develop metabolic flexibility. Now, when you ask about this relative to the injections, what's happening is, is that people are taking various, you know, injections, which are usually— most of them are sort of designed as a synthetic copy of natural peptides that we make. And that peptide is supposed to do a couple of things. It's supposed to retask sugar better, and it's supposed to bring your, your appetite down. It'll make you feel a little sick sometimes, and you won't want to eat. But again, I want to point out the problem, the 2 big problems here. Most people that would like to release weight are missing nutrients and have stored too much energy. So you understand that they're underfed and overfed at the same time. Underfed nutrients, overfed energy. So now you give them an injection where they reduce the intake of everything, including the good stuff. And in fact, It seems like in many cases, and, and any of you can comment, I'd like to know your experience in the comment. But here's what happens is they reduce their intake, their appetite goes down, but sometimes their emotional hunger kicks in and they still eat the bad stuff. So they reduce it down, but they reduce down the nutritional stuff more than they do the bad. Like, that's a problem. So that's problem number one, is that you go from malnourished to even more malnourished. Which is why we hear these reports about people losing muscle mass and bone density and that kind of stuff. Then the other problem is the one I mentioned before, is that every time you resist, like when you see a donut and you resist it, it's not the best way to avoid the donut. But you know, when you resist it, you send blood to a part of your brain that, that it's the anterior cingulate cortex. Sorry, I'm not usually the science guy with the big words, but that's what it is. You send blood to that part of the brain and it grows it. And you develop character, you develop more strength of will. And, and, and, and so every time you do what you, what you don't want, or every time you don't do what you do want, you fight yourself, you get stronger. But these injections come along and they take away the fight. And so that part of your brain gets weaker and weaker and weaker. So then when you come off that drug and, and then your normal cravings come back, the cravings seem Way bigger than they ever were before, and guess what? You're back getting a new a new prescription. I hope that answers it.

We have a couple of questions.

By the way, Maria just said in the comments so beautifully, "When I eat really well, I notice I eat less." Exactly.

Awesome. We have a couple of questions of people asking if this while fit works if I have Hashimoto.

I want to be really clear. I'm not going to make medical claims, you know, to tell you that it's going to cure any disease. I will tell you what you really want to do is go look at the website that Vishen gave you guys and ask it. Ask it because in there you'll see direct comments from clients. And I will tell you, many clients have told us that the various thyroid conditions that they've arrived with have improved. They've been able to reduce and come off a lot of their medications. I am not suggesting we've done anything to cure those things. I am suggesting this basic principle. You guys tell me if it feels safe. Any of you lawyers are in the crowd, tell me if this feels safe. It is my contention that any injury or disease that you are suffering with, your body will be better capable of dealing with it if you are well-nourished, well-hydrated, and have metabolic flexibility. So if you do those things, your body can recover from the other things more easily and more powerfully. And so I'm not making a medical claim. I'm making a simple logical claim. And I believe that what that means is that if you're trying to— oh, by the way, I'll add another disclaimer or another layer to this, is that many of what we consider to be diseases these days are really rather more out-of-balance situations from modern living. So some of the thyroid problems we have are because of the modern living. Some of the weight gain problems— okay, all or most of the weight gain problems we have are because of modern living. Type 2 diabetes, modern living, those are— I don't consider those diseases. I consider them imbalances. When we put the body back into balance, there's a pretty good chance the body's going to start the road to recovery. In fact, we had so many people reverse their pre- and type 2 diabetes that I was approached by a doctor in California who was an associate professor of medicine at UCLA who lost 40 pounds, released 40 pounds doing WildFit, reversed his own type 2 diabetes. reversed his hypertension, and got off 9 out of his 10 medications. He insisted that he and I write a book together because they didn't teach him this in medical school. And the book is out and you can find it in the bookstore called Post-Diabetic. Again, not a medical claim, a claim that when you return the body to balance, it's better armed to deal with whatever it needs to deal with.

Awesome. There are a lot of questions from Mindvalley members saying if this is part of the Mindvalley membership, So we just wanted to clarify that it's not, it's not part of Mindvalley membership.

And no, yes, yeah, it's, it's a premium program that sits on, on top of or in addition to.

Yes. And also a lot of previous WildFitters are asking how they can join this challenge. So, um, we do have an alumni offer. Uh, we'll be sending out an email with the alumni offer, um, very shortly. Today itself. Yes.

Yeah. For any of you that are alumni, um, that, that would like to revisit the program, and by the way, that happens a lot and I love it. And, and I want to tell you something beautiful about that. You will pick up things you didn't see the first time. You are a different person this time. Your psychology was changed, and now you'll be able to take it to another level because you'll see stuff you didn't see the first time. And this is a great opportunity because I'll be coaching many of the live classes myself. So if you're alumni, jump on in. They're going to send you a code for that, that you'll get an alumni price.

What are your thoughts on Lumen device to monitor metabolic flexibility?

I don't know the Lumen device so directly, but these days we have many different tools for measuring things like sleep and metabolic flexibility and blood sugar and so on. I'm just going to say this. The best measurement is how you're feeling and, and what your quality of life is gonna be like. And what I don't want anybody to do is to get trapped into a device telling them if it can be healthy or if they're happy. So what I mean by that is that I've seen people who have like an Oura Ring or, you know, and then they, they wake up in the morning and you go, did you have a good sleep? And they go, I don't know, let me check. And then they go check and it goes, no, apparently I didn't, but I feel like I did. So I'm, I'm a little sensitive to all the incredible technology that we have. That said, I think it can be used really well. One problem we have with some of these things around the metabolic thing is that, and I'm going to use blood sugar as a good measure here, is that you see people wearing their constant glucose monitor. I wore one for 2 weeks to see what it would be like. But here's one problem, is that you wear the constant glucose monitor or the metabolic manager and it, and, and it tells you, oh, your blood sugar spiked too much, or you moved out of sugar burning zone. And that's bad. No, it isn't. The issue is not that your blood sugar spiked in a given moment. Our ancestors spiked their blood sugar all the time. We are—we can spike our blood sugar because we're able to. We're meant to do that from time to time. The issue isn't that you spiked on Tuesday. The issue is: Did you maintain high blood sugar the entire time? So one of the problems is that when people start measuring this, they like I got to keep my blood sugar down today, today, today. That's not exactly the way it works. And so. I would say yes, there's some phenomenal technology out there for measuring, but don't ever become a slave to it.

Awesome. So we have an interesting question. What if I do not crave? I eat healthy and full of nutrition. Will this help reduce inflammation and reduce fat percentage?

Absolutely. There is a good chance of that. And here's why. I'm going to explain. WildFit is, in a sense, 3 parts. Food psychology sounds like you don't need that part, and some people don't. Like, you know, some people either they just have really strong willpower or they've already learned the lesson. It doesn't— you know, some people just don't need the psychology piece as much. Even those people are generally surprised at how much they learn about themselves in the first 2 weeks. They go, okay, the food psychology was really good too, but you might not need that part. Then the next part is nutritional anthropology. This is core nutritional information that will guide you to being well-nourished as a human being. That's definitely going to support you. And then the third piece is metabolic flexibility, and that will definitely help you to achieve what it is you're trying to achieve. Metabolic flexibility is— it is imperative to your quality of life, your longevity, your, your body composition, your body fat composition, all of that kind of stuff. So I would believe with, with relative certainty that you will, that you will definitely see positive results in that area.

Awesome. One question about how, how did, how does this program, is it similar to keto diet?

Well, you know, it's funny. The word similar is kind of interesting. Is it similar to paleo? Is it similar to keto? Is it similar to South Beach or what have you? Let me explain about keto. Keto is an abbreviation for ketosis. Ketosis is a physical state of the body. And, um, and what happened is, is that a guy back in the late 1800s, a guy named Banting, he, um, he was heavily, heavily overweight and he went to go see his doctor and his doctor told him that he should like come off carbs, that carbs were the problem. And guess what? He came off the carbs and he lost all the weight and he lived, I think, into his 90s, which by the way, that's rare now. That was in the 1800s. He lived into his 90s and he wrote a book uh, you know, about what they called the Banting diet, which kind of was the beginning of the keto movement. By the way, a little sidebar, he was related to another Banting who was born in Canada, who was the guy who invented insulin, but they never met each other. They, they— he, he predeceased him, but they were related. Funny that these 2 giants of the insulin and metabolic world were related to each other and didn't even know each other. But, um, the, the— then, then what happened is Atkins came along. And Atkins told people you can eat unlimited amounts of fat and you can, you can lose all the weight. And, you know, they were right. Now, I don't agree with the lifestyle choice. I don't agree with unlimited amounts of fat as a way of being. But at the end of the day, it really did trigger metabolic switch in people. And what it did is it put them into ketosis. Now, when we go through metabolic flexibility, we will show you how to trigger ketosis in an appropriate way from time to time. Where we're different is that keto has become like a religion. You know, like there are people, I'm keto, and then they're eating keto cookies and keto pancakes and keto— like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but the minute that, that, that a cookie can be a keto cookie, you know you've gone, you've gone wrong somewhere along the line. If you ever see a WildFit cookie out there, you got to tell me because I did not give permission for that to be. So you do want your body to experience ketosis from time to time. But you want it to be clean. You don't want it to be with a bunch of fake keto cookies and and so on. So no, we are not similar to keto, but there is a crossover that I hope you understand now.

Is WildFit friendly for vegan diet?

That's a great question. I'll tell you, I was vegan for many years, and I want to be really clear that I when I created WildFit, I had. Come out of my vegan years and I had resumed eating, you know, meats and fishes and stuff, but in a very different way than I did before. I was much more, you know, let's say responsible about it and much more conscious about it. And I created WildFit and I didn't really give much thought to my previous life as a vegan or what have you. Then what happened is I bumped into a Facebook group and it had like a few thousand members in it. It was called WildFit for Vegans. And I was like, what? We don't really do that. And what it really showed us was that There were many people that wanted to go through the entire process, but they wanted to do it plant-based. And so the program will support you in doing that. There you absolutely will. The one thing I want to tell you is that if you're an ideological vegan, and what I mean by that is that, you know, you care more about your ideology than you do your friends, like you're where you're rude, you know, that kind of thing. And by the way, there are ideological meat eaters too. So don't think I'm taking sides. But if you're ideological about being a vegan, then probably the program isn't so much for you. But if you are, you know, a conscious vegan who's just choosing to eat the way you're eating and it won't offend you when I talk about, you know, amino acids coming from meat, and when somebody shares that they had a steak last night, if you're not going to be offended by that, then definitely. We've had thousands of vegans go through the program and, and, and it's worked incredibly well for them. Obviously they have to make some adjustments based on the nutritional advice we give them, and we, we will inform you about that. Obviously when, when we put people You know, into a period of time where we ask them to eat certain meats. We're going to talk to you about legumes and things. It'll be a little bit changed, but we will be there for you. I will say this: you, I will. If you if you end up coaching with me and you tell me you have a problem, and I think that problem is relative to your your diet, I might push you to consider flexitarianism a little bit, to experiment a little bit outside of that. But I will not make you. You, you will be supported, uh, however you want to go through the program. Great question.

Awesome. Um, will it be easy to adapt this WildFit, uh, program with food allergies?

Oh yeah, yeah, no question about that. Um, before I talk about food allergies, I just want to talk to— somebody said, uh, why are so many people asking if they can rejoin if it's so successful? I gotta tell you, I had the same question when it first started happening. Like, really? I was like, the first time it started happening, I was like, why, why do people come back? And, and I'm going to give you 2 answers. One is really common sense, and the other one's a little bit more fun. The common sense one is, is that, you know, at the end of the day, we do a lot for you. You know, your, your psychology will change. There's no question. You will hear things you can never unhear. There, there are likely foods that by the end of the program you won't want them anymore, and you might never want them again. In fact, if anybody's gone through the program And and you had that experience, like I just don't want this thing anymore. Let me know if that happened to you, or it's just done. Now, that said, the food industry and your friends are not going to stop trying to get you to come back with a glass of wine over here and the tiramisu over there. And so what happens is some people find themselves making some exceptions that they really don't you know that they don't want to make, and they know what to do to fix it. But they want to come in the program to kind of achieve a new level of it, and they and they come back and do the program again to kind of. re-anchor themselves to the process. That's, that's one reason. The other reason is it's fun. Like, I don't know if you guys get this, but I'm not the average teacher. The classes are fun, the videos are fun. And like when you watch a Disney movie 3 years later and you realize there's a bunch of jokes you didn't get, the program's like that. You know, it, it, you, you will find it entertaining the second time. And that's why many people come back and they say it's just like, I was gonna do it myself because they know how. But I thought it'd be more fun to do it with the videos and the live calls and with the teammates. And I realize now there's a third reason they do it. And the third reason they do it is they love supporting the community. Many of them will jump into the chat. They'll be there helping. In fact, some of them end up going on to become sort of— we've had about 500 WildFit coaches around the world. And that's often what happened is they came back and did their second or third class and go, you know what? I think I'm going to do this for a living. So then they do. Great question. Now, we were on allergies, if I remember correctly. Allergies. Yes, the program is very, very friendly to food allergies. And I'll tell you one of the reasons is that most food allergies, if you look at a food allergy table, you will find that most food allergies correlate with what we call Neolithic foods or foods that we will ask you to question your relationship with at times. We will never push you to eat something that is very typically allergic to. To people. And so, so that's the first thing, is that you will likely gravitate toward foods that are less allergic. And then the other thing is that when you are eating cleaner, you have less histamine reaction in your body generally. And so here's what is almost certainly going to happen. And again, if you've done WildFit and this happened for you, please comment to prove what I'm saying is true. But here's what will happen. Some of you will have allergies right now pollen, cats, dust, eczema, skin things, acne. You'll have some sort of reaction to what's going on. And then you'll go through this program and those allergies will fade away. They'll be gone. Like happened to me. I was horribly allergic to dust and cats, and then they were gone. And then you think, oh, I'm no longer allergic to those things. Actually not true. You are, but the reaction is so muted that you don't feel it. So, for example, if I walk into a room with cats, I do get histamines. I do get a histamine reaction, but because my body is not so tasked by my diet, it doesn't manifest into my sinuses anymore. And so many of you will have that experience as well, both with food allergies and other allergies. Great question.

I think those are the most of questions, Eric.

Any other questions on the chat? There's a couple of comments that I wanted to just touch on. I mean, Shelley. Wrote, this program helped me to get off my meds. That is absolutely routine. But I must say this, please everybody hear me. 2 things I really want you to commit to me, and I'd like you to agree with me in the chat that you are willing to commit to this. First thing is, if you are on any medications at all, you will not change them without talking to your doctor, no matter how good you feel on the program. If you're on blood pressure medication, if you're on blood sugar medication, if you're on antidepressants, You, you may well be able to come off them. You may well be able to reduce them. But I want your commitment. You will not do that without talking to your doctor. You will not self-adjust your medication. That's very important. You'll— when you come into the program, there's even a disclaimer you have to acknowledge that. Um, and, and I want to tell you why. If you're on blood pressure medication, there's a really good chance your blood pressure is going to start to come down. And if you're using medication to suppress it, then it'll go down too much. So good idea to book a time with your specialist. If you're on blood sugar management and your blood sugar improves, then you don't want medication pushing it down. But here's the big one, you guys. For anybody who's dealing with, you know, depression-type stuff, if you're on any kind of antidepressants at all, first of all, no judgment. I totally get it. This— we are living in the most complicated time in the history of the world. Here we are, it's safer and easier than it's ever been, and yet it's really hard, isn't it? And so if you're on any of those medications, I'm with you. All I want you to know is that one of the side effects of jumping off them is suicide ideation. Never do that. If you're on them and you start to— this, this is the conversation I'm hoping for you, all right? If you're on those medications, here's the conversation I'm hoping for you. About week 7, okay, about week 7, you're gonna, you're gonna call your doctor, your specialist, and go, I, uh, I feel a bit weird today. What do you mean? I don't know, like I hear birds singing in the trees and, and stuff, and then I I talked to the mailman. I never do that. And, and I, and I, I have a little bit more bounce in my, in my, in my step. And, and that's where your psychiatrist or your psychologist or your GP is going to go, oh, what you might be experiencing is happiness. And we probably need to talk about adjusting your meds. And then they'll wean you down off them slowly and gently. That's the conversation I'm hoping you're going to have. So, uh, no coming off your, your, your, your meds without talking to your doctor. And then there was another thing I was saying about that. Um, oh, here's another one. Sign up today. Like, get yourself registered right now. Do it, guys. Start 2027 in the best possible condition you could ever be in. Please do it with me. I guarantee you, you will be thrilled that you did. And then when I bump into you somewhere, you're going to show me what happened. It's going to be amazing. And do not change a thing before the program starts. Don't suddenly become good. Don't suddenly throw out your kitchen full of stuff anticipating what's going to happen. And don't binge your ass off on your way in. Don't— just be you, whoever you are now. Just continue to be you until day 1 of the program, and you'll get the best results that way. Um, let's see here. Uh, Tisha says, I'd love to do the program, but timing isn't good. Tisha, I'm going to tell you one thing about that, and I totally am with you. I'm just going to say this: timing is one of the biggest problems people have maintaining their healthy diets all the time. They were doing well, and then Thanksgiving came along. Or they were doing well and then somebody passed away, and then they, you know, and like these things come along. They're doing well and then their dog got hit by a car and then they ate donuts. What I want you to know is that the more difficult the timing is for you for the next 3 months, the more effective this program will be for you. Because if you do the program when the timing is perfect and then some shit happens later, you won't be equipped for it. Whereas if you go through the program now and go through Thanksgiving, for those of you that are in America, and go through the holiday season, with the support of the team and the coaching, when you get to the other side, you will have a much stronger sense of the program in your body, and it'll be much harder for some— something to draw you out of it. That said, you, you're in charge of your schedule. I, I'm just giving you the feedback. Um, Brandon says, is there an age limit? Look, there's not an age limit. I will say this, most children don't really have the attention span to go through programs like this, but if there was a program that children can do, it's this one. Excuse the lack of humility, but I'm a fairly entertaining speaker. I tell great stories. They will laugh. They will have fun. And we have countless stories from around the planet of people whose kids came into the program. And I'll quickly tell you one of them. I went to go visit— we were doing a little WildFit documentary in British Columbia. We drove to this woman's house, kind of like the, you know, Ed McMahon, for those of you in America, knocking on the door and going, hi, it's Eric with the WildFit sweepstakes. And we just crashed in on some people and we sat at the table and this woman told me About how much it had changed her life. Her name was Amber, and she told me how much it changed her life. Then she introduced me to her son and how much it changed his life. He had lost, I think it was 20 pounds at the age of 14 or something like that. That's a big number at 14. And then I turned to her and I go, how did you get him to do it? I wanna know, cuz I wanna help more kids. How did you get your son to do it? And she started laughing. She goes, I didn't get him to do it. He got me to do it. And so I wanna say that there's no age limit, but I will say that If you do it as a family, oh my God, it's magical. Absolutely magical. Great question. And I think we're probably at time, but I'm— yeah. Gaylene says, when I did WildFit last year, it was great and I reversed my underactive thyroid. Yeah, but I couldn't maintain Spring for Life. And I do want to find the balance. So Gaylene, I'm totally with you. What really helps in that case is actually engaging with a coach or one of our coaches that are doctors that can help you to refine it relative to a particular medical condition. Some of you guys have been asking about the schedule. Mindvalley team has just posted that. Joanne says, I travel a lot. Will I be able to go through the program in an initial— yes. And again, like I said with the scheduling, if you wait till you're not traveling and you do it in the safety of your home and everything is fine, and then you travel, guess what? You won't have learned that freedom in that environment. You want to do this program in the toughest version ever. So if you're about to go on a 2-week cruise, you want to do it. If you're about to go into the holidays, you want to do it. If you're about to go through the most stressful time of your business, this is the right time to do it. If you do it then with the support and the team around you, you will develop a much better psychology, and then you'll be able to get through everything. I, I, I, I'm scanning here. Um, I, I saw a couple of you commenting about the, the, the, the cost of the program. I wanna say this to you. I, I don't know how else to do it. We have worked steadily over the years to bring the cost of this down relative to the level of investment and the level of production cost that goes into making it and, and then the marketing cost and all this stuff. We've really done our best to do that. But I do want you to know this. People will pay so much more to make money. They will. You know, I, I, I used to sell a program exactly like WildFit, but for business in, you know, business freedom. There's a quest now you guys can go do. It's built into membership. I used to sell a program like that, $5,000, no problem. Peel, peel all day long. They pay it. But when it comes to improving their health, they're, it's a little tougher for them until they lose their health. Then they'll give up everything for it. This is so you don't have that problem. And I will tell you that our average client in surveys has told us that they save about $500 a year in unnecessary supplementation and over-the-counter medications, never mind prescription medications. $500 a year. I really want you to know that. I realize it might be a little uncomfortable for you, but I absolutely guarantee you, you will never regret it ever. And at the end of it, you'll tell us you would've been willing to pay more. It is, it is, it is better than we are telling you it is. And if there's anybody in the chat that wants to confirm that, feel free. And Mindvalley, I'm pretty sure we're over time. I'm just keeping on going because you guys aren't there.

No, we're here, Eric. Thank you so much. This has been wonderful.

Okay, wait, one more, one more, one more. Okay. Will the program— because I've seen a few of these— will the program work for somebody who's 75+? Absolutely. Absolutely. Listen, listen, listen. I'm going to tell you one last story and then I'm out. And then I know I've pushed the limits here, but the reason that we have a coaching certification program works like this. One of my clients came to me. She goes, Eric, I have a confession for you. And usually when people have confession, people stop me in airports and go, Eric, I have a confession. I ate a Cinnabon last week. I'm like, well done. What did you learn? It's not a, there's no failure in WildFit. There's no, but, but she goes, I have a confession. And I think she's giving me a food confession. I go, well, what, what was it? She goes, I coached this woman. I go, what do you mean? She goes, I coached a woman through the whole WildFit process. I'm like, what? Without the videos? Like, how did you do that? She goes, I just did it from my notes and from memory. And I'm like, okay, that's like, there's a copyright problem. There's a legal rights problem. There's a liabilities problem. Like, this is not good news. Right? And I go, okay, how did it go? And she goes, it was amazing. And so she told me about the results this woman got. She said the woman had arrived at a point in her life in her 70s where she was basically just sitting around on the couch watching soap operas, waiting for her life to end. That's it. She was done. She was just waiting for it to be over. Now the woman was bowling, she was running for local community council, she was super active. It had completely transformed her life because her metabolism came back and her energy came back and she got younger. And then she goes, and it was my mom, so how could you ask me not to teach her? And so we created the WildFit coaching certification, and that woman Elizabeth became one of our very first coaches. So yeah, it will work at any age. Mindvalley, Vishen, everybody, thank you so much for creating the space and, and for introducing WildFit to so many people around the world. For all of you that have been here with me, I really appreciate your attention and the awesome questions you guys asked, and I can't wait to begin the process with you. Thank you all very, very much, and I'll offer you one last thing. If you're sitting on the fence and you would like a private, like, just a private question from me, for the next 2 days, I'll do the level best I can to answer DMs on Instagram. That's my offer. I can't promise, but I'll do the best. If you're on the fence and you just need a little encouragement, pop me a DM and I'll do what I can to support you. Thank you guys all very much.

Thank you, Eric.
