The following podcast is a deer media production. Hello everybody, welcome back to the Skinny Confidential. I'm Jim in her show. Today we have a recurring guest, our friend, Chervine, who is one of the founders of symbiotica. I think this is the fourth, fifth, sixth episode that he's been on. We couldn't keep count. What I love about Chervine is he is someone who truly lives and breathes what it means to be intentional. With his mind, his health, and his purpose, Chervine is not just a wellness expert. He's a mentor, a deep thinker, and one of the founders of symbiotica, one of the most trusted and forward-thinking supplement brands in the world. He blends ancient healing systems with cutting-edge science, helping people not only heal, but thrive from detoxification to gut health, from mindset to minerals, everything in between. This conversation should go to completely shift the way that you think about wellness. Chervine, our friend, welcome back to the Skinny Confidential, him and her show. What are the benefits of fasting like that? There's 10 million benefits. I mean, it's the number one longevity metric of all time is caloric restriction. So what do I begin? I mean, I can talk about the holy etatology, but just. Well, I think we've covered that on the show. By the way, I'd love to go into the holy etatology with you, but this is how many times have you been on the show now? I was trying to. It's hard for me to recollect. No, it's way more than that. No, I think maybe five. Oh, is this five? Maybe four or five, for sure. Powerful number. But you know, I was looking and it's on, I was just when we were starting and it says that you were not on since 2023. That can't be right? You didn't come on to 2024 at all. I didn't come on to 2024. Weird. You know, we had a falling out, guys. We became rivals. No, I love coming here. I love talking to you, guys. You guys are friends of mine. We're from the same hood. We're from San Diego. And we have a lot of fun and we're helping a lot of people. And so we can get into all kinds of crazy stuff. What's streaming for me right now is just the gratitude that I have for this life. You know, I'm just really like in this like embodiment of blessing every moment, every breath. And this like mentality that the things we're doing every day is not a chore. It's actually a God-given right to do it. Like walking your dog or making your coffee or making your symbiotic afformulations on the rise. The fact that I'm like in my body healthy can stand, can move, can think fully awake. All of those things, I don't take for granted. And you know, there's some interesting quantum information going around that you are one in a trillion chance of being you based on just looking at the science and the evidence. Just thinking about like being one in trillions and the opportunity to be alive and healthy right now in this moment in time is just astounding to me. So I'm living with this like utmost gratitude. I'm so appreciative of the life that I have. I also am aware that there's so many people struggling out there right now. And where I'm talking about one in trillions as far as the microselulars of us coming together being human. But what about the people in this world right now that are you know struggling and pain and confusion, stress, all the things that are happening right now. And so I have a lot of gratitude for being here with you guys talking about health, talking about spiritual activation, talking about things that you can do every day to sharpen your blade. This is the greatest gift anyone could offer me. And so I'm here to go all in. Every time Michael opens his eyes in the morning, I look at him and I say, you're lucky to be in my present. See, there it is. And I just feel like you should have immense gratitude to make me coffee every morning and fluff my pillow. That's how I get through the day. I keep telling myself. I totally agree with you. I feel like there's so there's so much gratitude and positivity in the little tiny moments. Well, I mean like the reason I get confused about when we last spoke to you is because we see you socially. And so I like it gets when we have all these conversations off the podcast. So I can't remember the last time, but I feel like you've always been this way. No, maybe just more of it right now. I like being around you because you're always positive. And you always like when we have interactions, you always leave feeling like good about that interaction. That's what I never feel drained. Yeah. I appreciate that. I think you know, I think there's just a lot of stuff that is happening in my life right now that you know, I'm really coming to a place of just humbleness and humility. You know, we get caught up in that everyday traffic of life. You know, I'm I've been literally living in a plane for the last like 12 months, going back and forth at our facility, our research and development lab, building out all these skews, building out all this incredible formulations that we're bringing this symbiotica. And there was a moment there where I was feeling a little bit of like a victim. You know, I wasn't being able to do the things that I wanted to do. I wasn't able to take, you know, offers to go and have experiences all throughout the world. I had a responsibility to our organization and to the family of symbiotica and to so many people out there. And there was a minute where I felt like a victim. And I had to experience that victim and really just wash over that and look at things from a relative space of observation and realize that this is this is a God-given gift to be able to be in this position and to study science and physiology and life and health and all the things at a real level. Not some greenwashing bullshit level. I'm talking about really getting in there. And I don't take it for granted. It's just like I don't take you guys for granted for what you guys are doing. I see what you guys are doing and you guys are the best ever. You're crazy. You're wild. Thank God. You know, just that the whole norm stuff is just ridiculous. But you're also doing it in a way where there's authenticity to it. It's not just trying to be polarizing. So I appreciate that. Well, you know, listen, I we appreciate you saying that. And I think what's interesting for us doing this show is you sometimes lose sight of the fact that this go like this conversation we're having in this intimate room. You know, there's five of us in this room, right? And when you have the conversation, you kind of forget later what's going to happen with it and where it's going to go and who's going to see it and who's going to impact. But I think like what I always tell people is Lauren and I started doing this because we wanted to speak to interesting, exciting people that were doing things that we didn't have awareness of or didn't know more about or like we're curious about ourselves. And we want to have that conversation the way that I would have it with you if we were at dinner. So we don't know how to like almost curate that experience. Like there's things you learn as in an entertainment to build a great show. But I think sometimes the for people that are observing us, they forget that like we're just talking to people that we are excited to talk to. Yeah. And we're just being ourselves. And I think that's what the audience receives you guys so well because it's so relatable. It's authentic. It's not scripted. I mean, we had no idea what we're even going to get into today. And I don't think we ever do. You know what I mean? I think that's why. Does that mean nervous? No, I mean, it's well, I'm not nervous. Go berserk. Go all in. I think channeling and streaming consciousness comes from another place. It's not coming from a file cabinet that's stored. I've been reading the holographic universe and the quantum field. Like we're streaming information and it's coming from the heart. So every time I have like 50 things to talk about and just never comes out right. And that's the beauty of having a real authentic conversation, a fireside chat, if you will. What does it look like when you who has all the tools notices that you're being a victim? What's the inner talk? First, there's a little bit of like sadness that comes with it that immediate anger and resentment. Like how could you feel this way? How could you be in a position where you're at right now to even feel like a victim? Look at what you have. Then I go into the inner child work. And so I've been doing something called Compassionate Inquiry. You know, it's been expanding my soul over the last, I would say six weeks. Beautiful soul named Denette that actually lives in Texas has been walking me through that. This is really a path forward or a path backward to talk to your inner child. And it's a work. It's through a type of hypnosis where you experience and view your five, seven, nine year old self, depending on where there's trauma or wounds or anything that can create a sense of pain and loss. And ultimately, I literally was staring at my seven year old and he was communicating with me a lot of pain and shadow that he was feeling in the midst of turmoil within my family life. And these are things that I knew consciously were there. I knew it was unconscious, but consciously I stayed away from it because I'm like, I'll get to it at some point. I'll find a reason to get there at some point. But it's been a burden. I feel it in my bones. I feel it in my soul. And by doing that kind of work, it's allowed me to really breathe out a lot of tightness that I felt in my soul. Probably somewhere in my body. It has been a lot of crying, a lot of expanding. Look, a lot of people go and work with shamans. They go into the, you know, the end theogenic world, whether that's in the jungles or in guided places. That's another strategy as well. These are all coming together. But I think this compassionate inquiry work might be one of the most important acts of self-love that we can do, especially if you're ready to go all in. And so this, this, you ask me, what do I feel? I'm feeling triumph, you know, now that I can get through that hurdle of being able to feel that level of victimhood and not get angry at myself now and know where that's coming from. And instead of just putting up another wall or or stepping into masculinity or stepping into an alpha energy, I'm able to empathetically allow myself to open up and feel. - I think there's nothing hotter than when a guy can tap into his feminine. And I've realized this that my dad, my dad is masculine, and if you saw him, he's masculine, but he can tap into his feminine. And same with you, do you have-- - I'm very masculine. - No, you are masculine. You're very dominant, you're very assertive, he's very alpha. But there is a feminine side of him that he's comfortable tapping in with. And I've realized as I've gotten older, that's, this is like maybe like, adipists I'm saying, I like that in my dad, so I chose you. - Adipists are the sun and the mother. - Well, I am adipists with my son, by the way, if anyone's wondering, Google it. (laughing) But there is something really attractive about a really alpha dominant man being able to step into his femininity. I think it's awesome. - To your point, I think it really becomes very hard to maintain that masculine, tough energy all the time, especially when things around you are tougher, when there's actual turmoil in your past or in your present, like not being willing to look at that and kind of go inward and say, like, hey, I don't feel good about this or I'm sad or like, need a cry. Like I think that over time really takes a toll if you don't kind of look and figure that stuff out. - I agree, and I love your points. You know, I would beg you to look at the perspective that it's not dualistic in terms of masculine and feminine. It's not sun and moon, light and dark. It's so much deeper than that. The feminine energy is actually so much stronger than softness. It's, you know, you guys are the void of where souls coming out of the body. You know, the feminine or that energy, that archetype, is one of the strongest frequencies that can hold so much more than an alpha or something that is a protector or a rager. It's deep and it's, there's darkness to it in a beautiful way. And so when I'm tapping into that section, I'm opening up a whole nother level of my soul that is beyond just the dualistic archetypes of masculine feminine. I actually see the feminine as the deeper power and I'm humbled by it. And it's not a soft thing. It's not a girly thing. It's actually just a power. - I know that you guys don't do jack shit if that's what you're trying to say. I'm well aware that the woman does everything. - You certainly do. - This pregnant, I can tell you when he wakes up every morning and gives me an update monologue narration on his back pain. - Hey, it's real back pain. - And I'm a four guy. - Six thousand months pregnant. I can tell you, I agree with you. - See, I mean, I worship that energy. You know, that is-- - I mean, worship. - That's-- - Yeah. (laughing) - You come over and worship for a long time. - I got you back. - I'll lift. - But no, I mean, you said it right there. I mean, we can't even comprehend what you do to bring life into this world. - But you know what? - I get irritated when she tries to get me to comprehend because I'm like, listen, now if you want to tap into the mask and I'm like, well, I'm not going to try to think as a woman because I'm not a woman and it's impossible. I'm not-- And if I did say, I know how you feel and I get it and I, like, my back hurts too. Like, you're just-- You're gonna be even angry. Like, there's no way for us to know what that is not our biology. - We don't-- I don't think we can-- We can-- I can intellectualize it. There's moments where I can feel it, like, kind of how I just said it and how you're saying it. But at the end of the day, we don't have that embodiment to fully grasp it. We can just kind of do the work to get us closer and closer and I think with communication. And really, you know, you guys are a union. The whole point of the union is being mirrors for each other. That's how you guys grow and expand and grow and expand. It's to really, like, understand and compromise and receive each other. You know, and it's almost become psychic phenomenon now. You know, I've heard that with-- I heard that with my dad. You know, Shahab is always talking about that. He says he's psychically connected to Dorana. He's psychically connected to his kids. His kids know if things are going bad with the parents. They feel into all this. You know, this isn't woohoo stuff. This is literally, you know, quantum entanglement that we're dealing with today that has been proven over and over through scientific literature and experiments. - I think the next, like, thing I put it in quotes is going to be being in alignment with yourself and your nervous system. - Yeah. There's two things you're going to hear about in the next two years all the time. I think people are going to realize the biggest flex is being so aligned with yourself and so comfortable with your nervous system. What is your vibe on that? - Well, I mean, this is-- You're saying that's new? This that's old news. - I'm saying-- - But you're saying it's becoming more mainstream? - Not just mainstream. I think there's an awareness, like, some people are going to go to 5D with it. - No, no, no. Okay. - Do you know what I mean? - I went to 5D with it. It reminds me-- - See? - You guys know that I had a near death experience with a rattlesnake bite, right? - No. - Did I ever tell that story here? - No. - When, not recently? - August 21st, 2017. - Okay, no, no, no. - No, I didn't know that. - Okay, so that was the beginning day of my dark night of the soul. It was the solar eclipse festival at symbiosis up in organ eclipse. It's a huge pre-burning man festival, 100,000 people in the organ forest. I was warned not to go to that festival by Vedic astrologers saying that you don't want to be nowhere near an eclipse. You want to go underground. You want to be nowhere near it. That's how the Vedic believed eclipses are kind of like an upload in the software of whatever this system is. And I went and I spoke at the event. I had three speaking gigs. It was a total crazy experience and I got drastically sick. I had never been sick before. During that day, and by the way, August 21st, is my mom's birthday. And my mom is my greatest medicine and my greatest teacher. And all my trauma revolves kind of around the mother's son conflict. And so that's a whole another story. But anyways, I got extremely sick. Couldn't walk. He didn't know what was going on with me. And I'm mind you. I'm like, this is a cold virus attack, spinal attack. Something had released. It was an energetic thing and I was sick. I couldn't walk. I got back to Orange County. Couldn't walk for two weeks. Retreated into my own world. Didn't talk to anyone. Right at that time, find out my dad's cancer had came back. It had metasicized to his lungs. So I'm sick. Just find out the metasicized. And then two weeks later, right before me and him, I'm starting to feel better. I can walk again. Me and him are supposed to go up to Oregon to go look at some land. I go out for one hike. I'm picking sage, divinorum white sage. And I get bit by a juvenile rattlesnake. Right here on my right index finger. Oh shit. And I immediately pull my hand back. And I said, what just happened? And all of a sudden I heard the rattle. And I look through the sage and sure enough, it's a juvenile rattlesnake in the S position. And if you guys know, I have snakes. I've had snakes my whole life. I walk on the pythons at my house. I know snakes. I'm almost like a quasi-herpetologist. I do not know this, but something new about you every day. Literally every time I see you, it's like, I'm a scientist. I'm a rocket ship. I'm a plant. You don't see my videos with my snakes and my pythons. OK, all right. I don't think Instagram's serving you, by the way, but we'll get to that. Go ahead. Yeah, I'm sure. I know that. I haven't seen you on my Instagram lately. That's interesting. Of course. Go ahead. And in that moment-- so rattlesnakes release a hemotoxin. Stopps your blood from coagulating. And they're not like pythons. They're not constrictors. They don't burrow you with strength and wrestle you and break your ribs and suffocate you and then swallow you. They're like little assassins with two hyperdermic needles. And they just inject and they run away. And they wait for whatever marsubial they just hit to die. And then they come and swallow you. And I know all this. I'm sitting there on the trailhead in the Gunabeech up on the mountain. I'm just coming back into my body after being sick, after hearing about my dad. And in that moment, we're talking about nervous system, I knew. And I know this. Juvenile rattlesnakes are immature. They don't hold their toxic load the same as an adult. They drop it all sometimes and they're notorious for that. And it got me in the hand. It didn't get me in the foot. The hand is really close to my heart. And so all of these factors as science is just playing in my head. And then all of a sudden, I felt every adrenaline, drip, hit, I felt my fight flight. I could feel it. And I knew in that moment, if I keep this going, I'm in deep, deep trouble. I'm already sick. I'm underweight. I'm going through all this emotional problem. And I just got lit up by a juvenile rattlesnake in my hand. And I am on my own. And in that moment, instead of freaking out, going crazy, I sat in Chavasana and went deep into my Qi Gong meditation. Deep, holotropic, diaphragmatic breaths. I slowed my heartbeat down to like 50 beats. I brought my nasal breathing, belly breaths, two breaths a minute. And did that for about four or five minutes. And the whole time I'm streaming that this was nature's vaccine, that the rattlesnake was dropping some kind of codes. You know how people do combo for ag medicine and whatever. was giving you. me some type of immunological response and it was an ancient master. This is where my mind's at. This is the practice. And all of a sudden my nervous system just relaxed and I was calm. And then all of a sudden after three, four minutes of that, I was ready to make decisions and know what the next step was. It was around that time that my mouth started to taste metallic and my chest started to tighten and my hand was starting to turn into a grapefruit. It was coming on fast. My point is, this is why that triggered that memory is because having your vagus nerve connected to your soul, meaning you're able to manipulate the vagus through intention, not through reaction, is critical for all of us. It's just as important as our circadian rhythm. It's just as important as our exoskeleton skin, how our body adapts to stress, how we lift things. It's just as important as caloric restriction. It's just as important as hydration, mineralization, optimal food, microbiome, sunlight, grounding, proper sleep hygiene, all of it. I can go on and on and on. One of the most important things is how well versed we handle stress on a daily basis, on a daily practice, and when it really counts when your life is on the line. When you were able to calm down, then you just figured out what help you needed to get. What did you do? You had to go get an antivenom or put a hospital or something? This is where the next trouble began. Can you suck it out? No. You cannot suck it out. You can't suck it in your mouth and spit it out? No. That's kind of a wipe still. You can't pee on it. You can't do any of those things. If you get hit by something else, maybe not a rattlesnake. Rattlesnake, that was injected into me and it was injected deep. I eventually called the paramedics. I didn't know if my blood was going to stop coagulating. I was already sick. I didn't want to lose my hand. It means the infection or whatever. Who knows? It becomes sepsis and just necrotic tissue. I've seen videos of rattlesnake bites. There's chunks of body parts missing. People die from this stuff. I called in a hospital, started reconstituting the antivenom. I went over there and there was like 10 doctors. It was like a big deal for them. They haven't had a rattlesnake bite in a while. The whole time I was like in deep calm. They thought I was on drugs or something. I wanted none of their pain relievers. I wanted none of that stuff. They gave me, they ended up giving me three vials of antivenom. That's where my trouble really began. As antivenom is loaded with thymyrusol, which is mercury. I ended up getting acute mercury intoxication. For the next eight, nine months as I'm trying to save my dad's life and I'm in the middle of building symbiotica, I couldn't even form a sentence. On the stress of, I know you how close you are with your dad. Your whole system was probably just fucked up. I couldn't form a sentence, Michael. I couldn't think. So what do you do? My muscles were twitching. I wasn't sleeping. I was literally like, I was falling apart. But the antivenom saved your life. So did it. I don't know. Oh. Maybe they overdid it. I don't know what it is. Maybe they need to start realizing that mercury to crack the cell wall is basically destroying the myelin sheath. It's causing transcription factors to not communicate properly throughout my brain. It was a disaster. Mercury as a disaster has no part of being around humanity. It needs to be deep in the earth. It can't be in your mouth. It can't be in your amalgams. It can't be in any of those things. Mercury is a complete utter disaster of the human body. And so I had an attack on my central nervous system. And for the next eight, nine months, I was in trouble. I couldn't. I was completely disabled. I knew you had to be. You've told me about the mercury issue, but I didn't realize it initiated because of the antivenom. Yeah. I had no mercury in my mouth. I had removed any metal in my mouth three years prior. What did you do to get the mercury out of your system? Kilation, deep, deep, kilation. What is, you need to speak English. What is kilation? Sometimes you guys, I have to ask you for-- Covalent, ionic bonding of materials that bind, that bind to heavy metals in the body and then pull them out of the body. And it's a very dangerous thing to do if you're not doing it right and you're not doing it with the right group and you don't have your lymphatic systems running. You don't have your kidney function running and your adrenal systems are not operating properly, which are the batteries on top of the kidneys. So I went through kilation. I went through IV kilation. I did oral kilation with herbs and all kinds of stuff. And ultimately after I feel like I got a lot of that out, I then had to rebuild my nervous system. And that started with peptides and amino acids and proteins and brain games, static brain games constantly had to think about things. Like if you don't use it, you're going to lose it, right? So you guys asked me, what do I mean about people not knowing about the nervous system? This is-- people have not gone 5D with the nervous system yet. This is what I'm talking about. You went-- The reason it feels like-- I went 12D. You went 12D. The reason you feel like this is old news is because you've like been there, done that, but I feel like there's going to be an awareness in the next couple of years of people who don't have that. Which she sings, there's like-- Especially where we're at with technology and the technocratic system. I think we need to be educated. I think we need to step out of our comfort zone. I think we need to create whormatic stressors in our life, right? We're not just laying down all day long and feel like everything is good and everything's hand fed to us. But to be part of an energy work, you're constantly thinking that everything is out to get you and everything is out to kill you, you're going to lose no matter what. Yeah, I don't want to-- I don't like to live in a world where I'm scared of everything in the world. Right? And I don't want to go through the exercise of like, I don't want to be the guy that goes out with a group of friends and like, I'm bothering the kitchen like, is there a seed oil? I'm going to order. If I'm a little bit unsure, there's certain things I'm going to order, but I'm not going to lose my shit every single day and not be able to live. And I think that's like a lot of that fear is being pushed, which I don't agree with. Like-- If I hear another seed oil thing on social media, I'm going to go crazy. We get it. The seed oils. We get it. We get it. We get it. We get it. We just move on to the next topic. That's another thing where it's like, these things are getting stale and it's like, it's getting tired. And I say this publicly and people are like, well, you're just thinking about you and your crew and your, you know, your committee. What about, you know, there's people that need to hear this? I'm like, okay, but this has been regurgitated for years. Let's go into the next level. But what I want-- For the majority of people, what I want them to do before they even go down the rabbit hole of all of that stuff, the top of where they're using the seed and listen, all the stuff that we do and we avoid. It's like, I want them to sleep well. I want them to exercise well. I want them to have sex with their spouse or their partner. I want them to get their hormones. There's things that, like, the big things. How's your sex life right now? But you get what I'm saying. It's the big things. If you take care of the big things-- Talk about lucky Michael. --that guards your body against the small things. Then the small things become small things. But if you're not doing any of the big things and then you're just crying about seed oils. Really pyjamas terrible. Have terrible relationships in your top seven people that you spend the most time with, either emotionally or physically. If you're drinking and bathing in terrible water. If you are not doing 15,000 steps a day and have a weight training protocol and building strength. If you're insulin resistant and you're waking up and you have high blood pressure, over 110 is high blood pressure. If you're not having reserves in your body to siphon the glucose in your body into the muscles and where they belong, forget about all the other stuff. That's what I'm saying. We can go down the rabbit hole of parasite cleansing and all those things, which are really important and critical. But if you're missing the key components, then you're just chasing your own tail. I agree with that 100%. I love a good t-shirt. I want it soft. I want it buttery. I want it to fit right. I like details. I want it to feel elevated. So enter seven diamonds. There is this pocket T that I got in so many different colors. It's the model relaxed pocket T. So the colors that I always go to are navy. I love navy. You can always catch me in navy. I also got the pebble and then I got the mocha. I'm currently getting color matched right now and I'm feeling those are my colors. We'll have to see. I'll keep you posted. You could also get it in black. But the point is, is this pocket T is $49 and it just fits right. It's lightweight. It's soft. It's a relaxed fit. It looks really good with a pair of jeans. Casual.

Well, I think the first thing is, everybody should just start loving the idea of singing every rise. What? Singing, just like singing. Like singing. Like singing. No, this is where I was going to go. I actually have a really good voice. I believe in you. And I really can sing the sound of music like no other. Oh, I love the sound of music. That's a childhood trigger for me. If one is a sound of music, which one? But one me and Zaza in town singing the show. A deer. We sing every people's little dance. My kids and I in the show. La la la la la. Yeah, they sing that. Like, it's a literal dance. All of us singing this song. Singing creates an acoustic channel in the body that stimulates the vagal tone. It stimulates my singers. Have to belt it. That's why that's like, after they sing, it's like they're just sat in the jungles for five weeks. They are resetting their entire nervous system. The vagus nerve roams from the top cranial down to the lower colon. It's an information highway with little microbial, it's attached to microbes, and vesicles, and all these things. If we're not stimulating the vagus nerve, then our CNS is not communicating properly. And we can't turn off fight flight, autonomic systems, and stuff like that. But one of the best ways is gargling water on the rise, humming, hum. This is so weird that you say this to me. Oh. Because during my meditations, I just started naturally humming when I got pregnant. I've been humming, and I didn't know why I was doing it. Like it's like it's soothing. Your beautiful child is floating in the ocean within you right now. And the fact that you're humming and creating that vibratory hurts that field is going directly into the child. That is, that's not woohoo. I literally was humming today. It's like the vibration feels good when you're meditating. Of course. Yeah. And especially when you're generating it yourself. You can listen to binaural beats and go into soundbaths and all those things. Those are phenomenal. But to be able to generate it yourself through humming and singing. Also nasal breaths, like really deep diaphragmatic breath, all of these things. Just say, just tell yourself, okay, I'm going to rise. I'm going to get five minutes of proper breathing and proper humming. I'm going to gargle some water. I'm going to stimulate that. I'm going to do that twice a day for the next six months. That's a gift you're offering yourself. And after about a week or two, trust me, you'll start noticing the results. What you're going to notice is that things that normally stress you out, things that you might be reacting to that's causing a cortisol spike, which then stimulates other hormones, which then takes your body into fight flight, which then might screw up your insulin situation. All of these things matter. And then how you sleep and the food you're reaching for and all these things are coping mechanisms, you could reset it all just by being in your body. There should be a fund that sponsors and creates an avenue for certain townships and cities where family and children can get involved on a financial level to build medium change, medium-sized farms, where a specific farm is supporting a radius of certain distance. And every single distance has a farm that's supporting that township. So what do you think that would do outside of provide organic fresh food? It's limitless. Grounding. It puts your hands in the ground. It's good. A guy that chops wood is so hot. You want to turn me on, get the fucking wood chopper out and the axe and chop the wood in the morning. You could chop some wood, take care of the ducks, get your eggs. There's a million things. There's a billion things. It's good for a circadian rhythm. Every day. Every day. What do you mean? What's it good for? It's empathy and children, so they know the hard work that goes into the food. That's the whole thing about Rudolph Steiner and Bio-Dynamic Farming. You guys know I'm a bio-dynamic farmer. Symbatic, it was built on the concept of bio-dynamics and what is bio-dynamics? It's not just an esoteric version of how to grow food and connecting to the waxing and waning of the moon and understanding the cosmology and understanding soil science and bio-dynamic preparations. And then ultimately creating the best bio-available food on Earth. It's about connecting children to the Earth, getting them exposed to the ritual of growing food and the nurturing of it, not just planting the seed and then going off on another field trip. I'm talking about nourishing that seed throughout the process and being there till it fruits and gives you the fruits of everything. That value to townships, to cities, ultimately to states, it changes everything. That needs to be the number one thing in soil science. Because I had this crazy dream, this is going to be in the book that I'm writing. I was walking in a mountain or a rolling hills, cemetery of Buffalo and I was barefoot and it was dark and smoltering and all the skeleton remains of the Buffalo were smoltering and smoking and I'm like my feet are burning and I'm in this dream and I look in a distance and there's just one white Buffalo just trotting, confused, looking for its family and I woke up. This was like about a year and a half ago and I immediately had this like download, wow, what did we do to the Buffalo in North America? What did we do? We're visited on Earth. We completely murdered and annihilated 7 million Buffalo. Why? Because complete auremonic mentality of stripping them for goods, having no connection to source, no connection to God, it was just a feast or just take everything you can, complete commercialization, everything, just destroyed it. You know what the Buffalo was doing to North America? The Buffalo was stomping the entire topsoil and pooping and biotics and creating an entire Earth to sustain the best food of all time and it also sustain our hydrological cycle because our rainfall is completely dependent on our soil and our aquifers and how all of these things happen. I feel like America is in the karma right now of destroying North America from fracking to what they did to the Buffalo and so I'm like I'm having visions of this. It's so powerful. I think that's a whole nother podcast but this speaks to us gaining our faculties, putting our feet in the Earth as parents and as families and as children and starting the farm over again and teaching the kids how do soil science work? work. Why are we not using commercial fertilizers like nitrogen and phosphorus, MPK and all that crap? Let's encourage the manure and bring back the holy cow and start this process again. The microbiome of your entire GI track from your mouth all the way down is designed and replicated through the soil. And we've covered on this podcast before, like there's so many people are mineral and magnesium deficient because of the soil that we have. And that's why we're supplementing with the million things because we don't get what we need. Symbatico is birthed because of what we've done to our world. We shouldn't be having to take a supplement. We should be getting all our nutrition from the sunlight, from spring water, from digging in the earth and all of those, bacteria getting into our body, getting into our eyes, getting into our nose, you know, populating our entire nervous system through the GI. We've separated all that. We don't have that anymore. In fact, we have the opposite of that. We have fungicide, herbicide, all the different glyphosate. I can go on and on. I just had to fight Laguna Beach Council not to spray the canyons of Laguna Beach with glyphosate as part of their fire mitigation program. They wanted to spray my canyons where I live in with glyphosate. It brought spectrum antibiotic that goes downstream into everything, into the ocean, into the kids. I went berserk on them. What'd you do? I went to town council. I went off. What'd you say? I told them I said, I'm embarrassed to be a Laguna Beach resident. I came here because Laguna Beach is supposed to be an environmental, you know, oasis. Everyone here is supposed to be on the level. We stand as a community. We understand nature. Laguna Beach is a reserve. There's no commercial farming in Laguna. That's why the ocean there is so rich and diversity and all kinds of stuff. Yet your fire mitigation program is spraying a broad spectrum glyphosate that we know is the root cause of all kinds of pathologies. What the hell? It's 2024. How did we get here? I was embarrassed. So what did they do? They didn't do it. I was so proud because there was 30, 40 Laguna Beach residents that showed up 80% of them were mothers. I was just one of the people that spoke. Those mothers, they put it down. That day I felt really proud to be a resident there. They figured out another solution. Look, I don't know if you guys seen videos from my backyard. We have a Peruvian goat herder that brings 800 goats and just eats up all the weeds and all the different California growth out there. That's your mitigation. Hold on. Wait, wait, wait, you have a Peruvian goat. Sure, but do I need to get that? No, it's a guy that brings you to this. It comes and eats all the canyons because we have some major rainfall and all of a sudden you have all this material and that's birding material. I get it. It fires are a real thing in Southern California. Great. I'm understanding. So you bring the goats there to eat it. They clear it out. They clear everything out. And I'm like, I'm like, bring more goats. The goats are your landscapers. They are. They're the landscapers. They eat up all the fire material. Why does it have to be a Peruvian goat herder? That's just who it is. It's just so specific. I'm not saying we got to get one. No, he's exists. He's been doing this for a decade and he's going to be a specific ethnicity or a friend. No, I don't know. I didn't know that. He's from Peru. Okay. What's your relationship to your phone? Because I cannot believe the phone relationship that's going on right now. And I'm not, by the way, calling anyone out, I'm to blame as well. So what's the like right now your phone's in front? What's your relationship? Because I think it makes the nervous system way worse. Yeah. I mean, I think we don't take for granted what the phone represents. You know, the phone is a immediate access point to you from anyone all over the world. We're not designed as humans to be able to be tapped on the neck by someone from anywhere. We're only supposed to be able to communicate with people that are in our presence. I'd love a carrier pigeon. Yeah. The carrier pigeon would work much better. Message in a bottle. Yeah, there you go. Lord, that Lord of the Rings are Game of Thrones. And so I'm very wary of that. For me, it's tough because of what we're doing at Semarica, I have to be present. I have to be present. This isn't a nine to five gig for me. This is my life. Me and Shahab actually talk about this all the time. You know, we don't sleep necessarily with freedom because we're constantly under some form of stress because there's something going on, especially when you're pushing this hard in terms of quality and raw materials and the strength of that puts you in a position where you have to be ready all the time. And then you have, and then you factor all these other things. So the phone to me is a pain in my fucking ass. And it's a disaster upon epic proportions, but it's a necessary evil. But let me tell you, I have visuals of throwing it into the ocean, but I'll probably not do that. I'll probably bury it and do some type of ceremony around that other than that, the phone is a constant radiation device. This is not a toy. When I see, you know, women running around with the phones in their sports bra or men putting it in their pocket and it's not on airplane mode or bringing it near children's head, bringing it bringing around your children's heads that haven't even formed, you know, solid barrier because it's still. Can you go a little deeper into that? Yeah, I mean, the phone, especially the phones today, especially with all the ground towers and the strength of the radio waves, we're dealing with non-natives that we've never seen before, at least in this, like whatever this timeline is, this epoch, and that's causing a major disturbance to our mitochondrial field and our electrical field. Our body's running on a perfect sink from our brain system and our central nervous system of protons, neutrons, and electrons. We're an electrical body before we're a chemical body. And that's why we ground it there. That's why we photobiod modulate with red light and sunlight. These are electrical things. mitochondria is the little batteries that powerhouse of every cell, the ones that generate energy through ATP and all these things like that. Radioactive devices and electromagnetic frequencies like that disturb that field. That disturbance causes oxidation or cell suicide or cell senescence. In turn, with consistent usage, now you're talking about large scale dysregulated immune system and inflammatory responses. And this is real science. And so these are a problem. There are problem on an electric current level. There are problem for our eyes. There are problem for our emotional system. There are problem for our dopaminergic system. There are problem for the lack of they're bringing us convenience, but they're stripping us naked of our god-given faculties. You have boundaries around them? I do. What's your boundaries? I break my boundaries because of work. But my real boundaries would be I don't touch my phone until I'm up at least for an hour and I've done everything internally and I don't touch my phone after 7.38 pm. Does it go out of the room? It goes out of the room. Airplane mode. Airplane mode out of the room. And I definitely have my phone completely on, do not disturb 24/7. I only have three people that can break through in there. And so that's a- I have that too. Yeah, it's just my journey. I can't help. Your phone vibrates the whole podcast. I don't know where I'm at. I'm working. I'm not. But I'm saying if I'm- No vibration, no heptic feeling, no sound, no none of that. I don't want that disturbance. My phone is always on the lowest light setting. It turns red automatically at 5 pm. You know, there's just certain things that you can do. I noticed this is so weird. The second I got pregnant, I could not click TikTok. I could not go on TikTok. I mean, I had to have- Instagram's bad enough. My- I had to have my team post. I have not been on TikTok or scrolled TikTok the entire pregnancy. You know what? I don't even need to get pregnant for that to happen. I never did it. But there's something that like intuitively like my antenna went up when I got pregnant where it was like I knew that there was low vibration. And it's funny because I'll get like newsletters in my emails. You know from different influencers and in the newsletters they'll say stuff about like, oh my god, can you believe what's happening on TikTok? And it's really negative stuff. Just the news cycle and alone is dangerous. And that was the nightly news at 7 o'clock. I can't. You know- Just that alone is dangerous. Let alone people are getting hit with that level of information that's probably nonsense at that speed with them just constantly moving their finger. That is insane. It's almost as bad as like DoorDash and how dangerous DoorDash is for humanity. You know- DoorDash is a disaster for humanity. When you're a kid and your parents aren't plugged into like the cool hip thing that you're plugged into, like how do you not know about these things? Like how are you not like into this stuff? And then you get older and you realize like, oh I'm that guy now. Like I know I'm missing, especially I'm in the media business. Like that's what I do for a living. Like arguably I should be aware of what's going on on TikTok. I have no fucking clue what's going on. I feel like I don't know any children. I don't know who this is for you. I hope you're watching trends on TikTok. - That's the turn. - I don't know who the big creators are there. I don't know what they do. I don't know what they create. I don't know what lives there. - I think that's a conscious self preservation. - I think it's just like, I think that what it is is I've gotten older is I know I could be more successful financially if I paid attention to do that. The same way I could probably be more successful if I lived in LA. - How did you define successful? - I totally disagree with you. - Yeah. - I mean, it's a distraction. - No, let me say, but I mean financially. Like, I don't agree with you. - I guarantee you if I lived in LA, if I lived in New York, if I paid attention to do that. - No, no, I'm safe. You were on TikTok. I disagree that you would be more financially. - Let me get the point out. - Okay. - Go ahead. - I guarantee if I did certain of these behaviors, that certain areas, quote unquote, would accelerate. Like, you would add more dollars to the top line of a business, the bottom line of my bay, all that. But I think it comes to your point, Lauren, now I'll circle around and land the plane and tie it in a bow. - And land up in the plane. - It would come at the expense of me not being happy doing any of these things. Like, I don't want to do that. I don't want to spend time figuring out who's doing what on this lot of it. - Who gives a shit? - I don't, that's my point. - Yeah, that's my whole thing. Like, everyone's so caught up in other people's drama and gossip and weird stuff. Like, it's an addiction. It's an addiction that is not serving humanity right now. Like, I get it. There's times where you just wanna like, do nothing and just receive stuff. We're human. We're in that world right now. I get it. So I'm not trying to like, lambace people for having these like guilty obsessions and stuff like that. But what I'm asking you to is to reflect on it and see, is this really bringing you happiness? Is this really taking you closer to like what, you know, how you see yourself living and your full power? Why you're here on earth? Is it seeing regurgitated drivel 24/7? I don't know what I despise more. Worst, regurgitated drivel on social media, even if it's health-related. Or just gossip, trendy nonsense. It's like, all of it to me is just scattered and it's a destruction for humanity. - What I've realized is the biggest flex people used to think, like, and I used to think this too, was like, I was like, I spend my money on my time. I think the biggest flex is where you spend your attention. - Yeah. - And I think that when you start monitoring where you spend your attention and your focus, you can literally change your whole life. Because if your attention is spent on a platform negatively looking at everyone else's life all day, that is money, it's a distraction. - Where your attention goes, your energy flows. Social media, I don't understand it now. You ask me, you don't see me on social media. It's probably because I don't use fear tactics. I spend my energy creating content because I want people to think. I don't want them to react. I want them to think and I want to drop clues. So they can practice their God-given right, which is discernment and make the choice through the clue. As opposed to me telling them, the train has come in, you better jump on or we're at the 11th hour, because the whole thing on social media now is, you have three seconds. You give them the three second hook. This is happening. You have Candida. How do you get rid of parasites? How do you get rid of mold in your house? Your brain's falling apart. Your liver's got cirrhosis. Alcohol's doing this to you. It's all freaking, and they're using you. They're using you like vampires to get more likes, to get more shares so they can sell some marketing bullshit. I'm not doing it. I'm taking a stand. What's a clue? A clue is, you know, is-- It was a clue about something. What's a clue? It was a couple clues. Oh, and a clue is like honestly. I know what a clue is. I want to know a clue about something. A clue is like asking an internal question about yourself, where it will stream into you pulling some type of cord and all of a sudden the string unravels and all of a sudden you have this aha moment. So maybe a clue that you just dropped was how is TikTok making you feel? And if you start examining that and you start paying attention, that's a clue that could unravel. Absolutely. Or how are you showing up for people in your life? Ask yourself. Because the whole thing on social media is like stay away from people that are vampiric, that don't share energy exchange, that only want to use you, that don't want to see-- Yeah, but how are you showing up? There you go. This is a big one. I want to talk about the Simon Talks about this on the podcast. I noticed that there's like, cut the toxic people, cut this, cut that that. But if you're surrounded all the time by toxic people, what are you doing to bring that into your life in the first place? I think so. I feel like that people need to look in the mirror instead of project, oh, this person's toxic. This person drains my energy all the time. What are you doing to bring a higher vibration of person towards you? Yep, that's exactly right. We are a lot of attractions real. It's not just a fairy tale book. There's an actual DNA resonance field that's created through your alchemy based on how you are living in the energetic body that you are offering inward and outward. Which is why you've been on the podcast six times. Right. There's a good energy match here. I have unconditional love for you guys. I have your guys' back. I'd rather have you on, by the way, and I want to say this. I wanted to say this earlier. I'd rather have you on this mic than the top A-list celebrity. I just-- Wait, you're not an A-list celebrity? No. I don't know. I'm just saying, I'd rather have the energy that's exchanged-- Unless it's Tom Cruise. Unless it's Tom Cruise. Unless it's Tom Cruise, though. If you had to tell me to pick between a huge A-list celebrity that's going to say nothing, and you, I would 100% pick you. It goes. I appreciate that. Tom Cruise. Am I an A-list? I think you're an A-list in a different category. It's a different category. I totally mess it around. Go ahead with the live attraction. I can't talk about Tom Cruise. He's been talking about this all day. Tom Cruise is the goat. He's berserk. I just realized that he does all these stunts. I had no idea. I grew up with Cap Gunn. I grew up in San Diego. They were filming that over my house when I was like five. Is it Hill? I will die on it. I had no idea. There's the greatest of all time. I'm not. The pantython. Because if you think about the body of work and the longevity-- It's crazy. That's wild. Go for it. There's not-- you can't name-- OK, if you see some of these other guys out in the wild, you're like, OK, you don't see that guy out in the wild. Yeah. He's like here about him like hanging out. He's the white whale, man. He really is. I mean, it's incredible what he's doing. Go ahead with the law of attraction. Go back to what you were saying. If you're in poverty conscious, if you're angry, if you're angry at this, if you're living your life in lack and victim and all those stuff, that's just the type of people you're going to retract. I mean, it's just your like will find its own resemblance through a mirror. And so if you are constantly looking to discard everything around you, you're really not turning inward and seeing exactly how you've seated this in your life. And that's the deep-- there's a 9-point death meditation. That's a very, very powerful experience. I've done that. There's ways of doing this where you're like, OK, I'm going to stare in the mirror for the next 24 hours. And I'm not going to blink. I'm just going to look myself in the soul. After about 20, 30 minutes, a lot of your bullshit starts to wear off. We've got to do this type of work. We're not doing any work. Nobody's doing these things. These practices are all but gone. Their story tells now. We're just so inundated with the material mechanistic way of life that we've lost this connection. What is your daily meditation practice? I don't have anything set. But on the rise, I get up. I drink my spring water. I'm just sitting your butthole. Why are you laughing? You're sunn' it. Yeah. What? Yeah, but now-- I'm waiting for the tutorial. But now, the studies-- Yeah, you know that tutorial. Studies that come out that it actually increases-- Excuse me. We said this on a mic five years ago about sitting your butthole. You laughed. Well, I still laughed. The audience thought we were crazy. And go for it because everyone's believing it now. Tell us what's going on. Yeah, everyone's doing it now. Upon rise. The perennial sunbathing. Yeah. And general sunbathing, all these things are really powerful. I mean, we've been wearing clothes our whole life. I don't think we were designed to wear clothes. We were supposed to get exposed to the sun. That's why people are getting sunburned because they've been away from sunlight so much. And they don't have the right nutrients in their body. I can go on and on. So I get sunlight on my body if I go out in the garden. And in the garden, I reflect on the day before. And I really start to put together the pieces of what that day looked like. What brought me love, what brought me joy, what brought me fear, what brought me anxiety, what brought resentment, what brought any envy energy, what brought energies where I feel doubted all of those things. And I think I talked to you guys about this before. This is a rosecretion practice. They actually do it at nighttime before they go to sleep. They replay the day. Yeah. And what I found is that this is a self-discipline of getting better and sharpening your blade. And how you do anything is how you do everything. And these are the things that we're missing. We're skipping these things. And we haven't learned these muscles. In order to create a muscle and fiber and connection to that fiber, you have to keep doing it. So you take an inventory? I take complete inventory. And then now I'm doing stuff for my brain. So you want to get your brain activated. Obviously, get the right magnesium in your body, get the right colon in your body. But one of the best ways of doing this is to go, okay, I'll just try it on you guys. right now. Where were you guys last Thursday at 2pm? The Flitz Paul probably. Last Thursday at 2pm. I have no idea. I have no idea. So this is a practice that I'm starting to do. I'm starting to randomly pull dates like that back and just really trying to pinpoint exactly where I was at this certain time. What was I doing? So it's good for your brain. It's so good for your brain. And it's so good for your autonomic nervous system. And it's so good for every part of your entire essence to be able to recall things. This is a really powerful step to becoming a master, to becoming someone who wants to push their level of peak potential to the highest level. And we're not doing these things. We're not testing these things. We're not pushing ourselves to get a little bit uncomfortable to build fabric within. What's your real supplement situation in the morning? Like your real thing that you're doing when you wake up? As opposed to my fake. No, like give us like what you're doing. No, don't give us like, yeah, don't give us like your life. Yeah, because by the way, I mean like don't give us like your ideal day. Give us like what you're doing. I saw it today or yesterday, it was either you or the company posted your first product compared to where you guys are now. Oh, it's so beautiful. It's wild. Like how many skews are there now? 30 or so? Yeah. And so I think what we're asking is what are you really taking in the morning? Like what do you go in? Like what's the routine look like? Now that you have access to all of those. Yeah, give it and give us like a science lab. Dexter's lab was probably different depending on what you're dealing with. It kind of it changes, but let's just say I'm just at home and it's spring water, molecular hydrogen, Sheila G. And then I'm now hitting the colostrum. And I'm loving that on the rise. And soon I'll be having the new Sheila G. So with the new Sheila G, will you not have the old Sheila G? No, we're going to keep that. We're going to keep it. Yeah. Wait, so are you doing any match our coffee in the morning? That comes about an hour and a half after. Okay. Yeah, no caffeine till I've already had my cortisol push on the rise. Because if I start interfering caffeine with my rising cortisol, I can mess up my blood glucose. I can cause a little bit more cortisol. I don't want to deal with that. What's your first meal? First meal is, you know, it's a raw egg yolk, three egg whites. Sorry, yeah, only yolks raw. I don't quite why only one egg yolk. It's a perfect amount. I mean, sometimes it could be two, but just drink it. Yeah, I just drink it. So like you probably I crack the egg, spoon it out, swallow the yolk. Wow. It's loaded with growth factors and colean and minerals. And you cook the whites. You don't want to eat the whites raw. It has a protein called avid in there that pulls mainly biotin out of your body. So you only eat the raw yolk? Correct. You just have to be eating raw. The moment you cook them, it's like turns into a trans fat, like lipid oxidation. And you're destroying all its value too. So you eat the yolk and then you cook the whites. And then you have it plain. Icelandic sea salt, which is now in our products. Did you guys see me and Iceland harvesting the sea salt? I missed that one. You know, I think Instagram's not serving me your content. Between you with the Peruvian goats and in Iceland doing the sea salt and you're on a hill. It's a lot of farming. And it's a lot going on. You're into fat. That's actually coming. A lot to keep up on. Yeah, I'm actually, it looks like I'm going to be going to Tibet in a few weeks and showing how we harvest cheligee. That's a whole thing. But anyways, that's a little black pepper. And that's it. And then I'll have maybe a slice of avocado. And then sometimes I'll have like a lean piece of meat. How often are you lifting weights in the gym? Three, four days a week. And what are you doing on your days off? I'm hiking. I'm sprinting. I'm doing play a metric work. I'm doing all kinds of cool stuff. I'm all over the backyard. And I'm doing animal flow. So I'm crawling on my hands, functional movements, all of these things. Animal flow. Yeah, so when I was in Ibiza at a retreat a year and a half ago, I linked with a group out there primal something. And they do animal flow. So you're basically going back. I didn't see you doing that. I'm doing that. It's so epic. After three, four days of that, I couldn't imagine like not doing that anymore. So I'm still keeping it up, but not as much as I should. But it's just you're going back to your primal nature. You're walking on the ground. You're doing these different types of movements. It's so good for the brain and nervous system. One of those things like, you heard that grip strength is important. Yeah. Hang. Everybody hang. You also heard that jumping is important. The nervous system reaction of jumping off like a box is so good for the entire nervous system and for your bones. Your bones strengthen with stimuli. And so if you're not jumping off things and things like that, you're basically becoming calcified. And this is where osteoporosis comes in. It's not just going into perimenopause and postmenopause and your body leaching the calcium out. It's also you have to be fit. You got to be moving. All of these things are critical. I'm also doing breath work where I'm holding my breath as long as I can. I just got my hands on the cutest summer bag. I could not find it anywhere. It was sold out on every single site. And finally, of course, I found it on the real real. The real real is attainable luxury that upgrades your personal style. So basically it's a place where you can find a really special piece. Maybe it's sold out and they have it on there. I have found the most gorgeous vintage vests on there. I've found handbags. I have found a wallet. And now I found my summer bag. I'll show it to you on Instagram story. It's kind of like straw. It's by the road. It's so chic. And I will be carrying it everywhere this summer, especially with a new baby in tow. So how I found out about the real real was I started selling my own clothes on the site. And then I started just socking everything that they were doing. And I could not believe it. So if you're looking for like a dress for a wedding this summer or maybe a really good vacation sandal, they just have really special pieces. And you can get a deal. I have found some really good deals on there. And most importantly, everything that the real real sells is authenticated. And it's authenticated in person by luxury and fashion experts.

Let's take a quick break to talk about policy genius. Let's be real. You're juggling career, kids, self-care, spreadsheets, and so much more. But there's something most people overlook. I know that I overlook this for many years. Nearly half of American adults say they would suffer financial hardship within six months without their primary income earner. That's not just stressful. It's preventable. Life insurance might sound boring, but trust me, it's a powerful part of your financial wellness plan. And policy genius makes it chic, simple, and totally on your terms. When Lauren and I started having children, we looked around and realized if something were to happen to one of us without a plan in place, it would be really stressful for the other. Why not put a plan in place now while we're young, while we're able? And make sure that our loved ones will be taken care of in the event, but absolute tragedy. Again, nobody likes to talk about these things. They're uncomfortable, but they're so important. What we love about policy genius is it makes finding and buying life insurance simple, ensuring that your loved ones have a financial safety net they can use in case something happens to you. Whether to cover debts and routine expenses, or even to invest the money and earn interest over time. You can compare quotes from top insurers and find coverage that fits your needs and your budget. And with policy genius, you can find life insurance policies starting at just $276 a year for $1 million in coverage. It's an easy way to protect the people you love and feel good about the future. Like I said, this is an uncomfortable topic, thinking about the absolute worst, but having that peace of mind, knowing that your loved ones will be taken care of if something happens, working with a company like policy genius is so important, and it's such great peace of mind. So if you're all about taking control of your health, your schedule, your finances, this belongs under Tadulis. Head to policygenius.com/skini to compare quotes and to get the coverage you need. Because being financially protected, that's the ultimate self-care. Again, that's policygenius.com/skini. This sunscreen, it's caffeinated, it's mineral, and it does not pile under makeup. I applied it today with a damp beauty blender before I got my glam done. And it lays so nicely under like a foundation or a concealer. But here's the thing that I like the most about it. So when I'm off work and when I don't have to do podcasts or Instagrams or content, or I just can just be comfortable, I can wear this caffeinated sunscreen, and I still get a really nice tint and a protection. And it looks like my skin is all one even tone, which is nice without all the makeup. It's not like a foundation, it's like the caffeine tightens your skin, it gives you a nice even tone, and it just gives you a little bit of color. So what I like about this sunscreen is the versatility. So you can wear it when you're off and you're running around and you're running errands and wear it with nothing over it. Or you can wear it like I'm wearing today right now with foundation and concealer over it. So it works both ways. I will wear this when I'm going to the gym in the morning and just wear it. throughout the day with nothing else or I will wear it with a full look. I created the sunscreen because I couldn't find a mineral-based sunscreen with caffeine in it. Caffeine tines the skin, it shrinks the pores and I just like how it lays on the skin and I mixed it with a mineral sunscreen and then we made it SPF 40. So it's a real treat. I think that you guys will absolutely love it. It just comes out in a pump, fits in your handbag and it can go through the airport. You can shop this at shopskeneyconfidential.com and it's the caffeinated SPF. Also, if you're like me and you go through sunscreen quickly, you can subscribe and the sunscreen will get delivered straight to your door so you don't have to worry about it. That's shopskeneyconfidential.com. What's your breathwork? Who do you follow for it? Me? I follow me. I like that. Yeah. I studied Chigong. So Chigong is an ancient, ancient practice of real valued breathwork. If you had kids right now. Yeah. And we've never asked you this question in all the podcasts. If you had kids, what are the pillars that you would think are really important to teach them? I mean, planning gardens. Number one, where food comes from. That's, I think, the most important thing. Also, let me go back to the compassion at inquiry. Having them know that there is a safe place with the parents to be able to tell them anything of something goes wrong. Uh-huh. I think that's so important. That is huge. You know, someone told me too and this is what we try to do is instead of just being like, how was your day? Like asking specific questions? Like, for instance, what, you know, what was your favorite creative part of today? Or like, what was something that made you smile a lot today? Yeah. Or like, what was something that really like hurt your feelings today? So, stuff like that. We do rows and thorns and they'll tell us the rows and their thorns. And the thorn is a good place, I think, for them to say something that's bothering them. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Of course. It generates the empathetic connection because it shows that you guys are present and that you're honoring them as beings. Children at age two or three, they're still in like God mode. Their ego is forming. They're in Theta. Their brain is technically in Theta. From third trimester to age seven, a human child is running on the wave of Theta, which is imagination. And all of these, you know, different expansive thoughts. They're not in a practical way of thinking. And so if you're dismissing their emotional capacity and it's black or white, they're not able to build that resilience and that they're not able to stretch out that that connection with the parents. And so I think that's one of the most important things. Yeah. We can talk about like getting out in the bottom in the sun and planting gardens and doing all those things. Number one is knowing that there's a safe loving place and you can talk about anything. That's the most important thing in my opinion, especially as I'm doing this compassionate inquiry. Last time or one of the last times I saw you, we were all out to dinner. We were at La Pasina having fajitas. I think pineapple fajitas. I didn't eat that. Oh, what did you eat? I will not eat pineapple fajitas. What did you order? What did you order? We had steaks. I think I had steaks. Oh excuse me. I was eating pineapple fajitas. And I was the only one having margaritas. Yeah, I wasn't drinking. And no, I wasn't pregnant. So don't go on reddit and talk about it. So when we were all together, you were not drinking. Are you still not drinking? What's your energy on alcohol? I'm not. I've had a few, I've had a few glasses of wine and maybe a moscowl in the last like nine months. So it's like intentional drinking? Yeah, it's celebratory drinking and it's done with intention around it. It's not unconscious drinking. And I'm not drinking. I didn't have a drink because I needed ava drink. It was just it was just part of the experience and I wasn't going to pull back. Plus Shahab's always given me really epic wine and you know always- I bet Shahab has some really good wine. He's got great wine. And so I just, you know, alcohol is not my elixir. It's not my medicine. What's your elixir? Maybe in those times. But it's- Toad? Toad, yeah, that's exactly it. Ozzampic. Yeah, you have to tell us about what you think about it. We've already talked about this. No, we have it. Not on the podcast. Only off air. I mean, it's interesting. It's kind of a tragedy in ways because we've gotten to this point where we have to inject something that elicits that type of response so people stop eating. But I understand that we have a sick population. This might be a bridge to get them into a better metabolic state because metabolic syndrome is a real thing. It's a tough one, huh? It's a tough one. I mean, it leads- and everything we're talked about today has to do with metabolic syndrome. Movement, lifting weights, hydration, the way we sleep. They're all part of the same chain. If those things aren't factored, then you're going to have metabolic problems. The foods we're eating, the food combinations, on and on. GLP1 is- I saw this whole thing where if GLP1 was used through microdosing, there's actually a more- it's a more strategic way of getting more bang for your buck without the harm that it is causing. And so again, I- I'm very careful with this because I know that there's a lot of people that are using this. I think intention is everything. If you or someone that for whatever reason, you're- you just cannot get yourself up to lose that 40, 50, 60, 100 plus pounds. And your injured- indecorant system is completely almost shut down. And you have crazy insulin resistance, and you're type whatever type you are. I don't know what level of diabetes you have. This might be a potential solution to save your life. Other than that, get your ass moving. Stop eating six meals a day. 15,000 steps. Lift some weights. Don't eat right when you get out of bed. Track your glucose. As soon as you wake up, insulin, what is insulin? It's a powerful hormone. It's insulating information into your cell. That's what insulin stands for. We have to understand these things. I think the lack of knowing what our bodies are made of and how they work is a problem. Well, this is what I was saying earlier. It's like we, again, going back to what we could call woo-woo, but I think people have gotten so far away from our intuition. And knowing like what- I get a lot of- Lornel says I'm not attached to food. That's not true. I love food, but I'm intuitive enough with myself to know when something is not great or when I've had enough or when I'm overdoing it. If insulin resistance was a person, you are the opposite of the person. But my point is, I listen to the signals of my body. I eat something and that doesn't sit right. Or I do something and I'm like, I shouldn't do that again. Or if I'm not moving my body the right way, I pay attention to the signals. I've never seen you overeat. This is key. I don't know. Intuitive self and the intuitive nosis is the most important thing. We talked about with children and helped them build their intuition without drowning them with control. That's the Waldorf method. It's all about intuition, all about the connection, all about making direct observation. And that's really important with food because we're not intuitive eaters. We've lost the intuition and that leads towards metabolic problems, which leads towards cystic acne and bloating. Don't you think we lost intuition though in a lot of things? It's not just intuition. You were talking earlier about being able to communicate when you get close to someone like non-verbally. Yeah, psychically. And if you look at animals that are closer, they don't speak. Obviously, they communicate non-verbally. As we evolve as a people, we're in these tribes, you're able to signal to people non-verbally because you had to be quiet if there's predators of this danger around. There's human beings have this intuition where animals at the end of the day, but you lose it because you start to block and ignore all these signals. Or we've overused the signals because we're constantly in a state of fear and pain and dysregulation. Remember the book I told you guys to read why zebras don't get ulcers? Do you guys remember that whole thing? The zebra soon as the lion stops chasing it, its entire endocrine system and its nervous system goes back to balance. Yet human beings are constantly in the flux of the acid bath of adrenaline. And that's burning through our adrenal system. It's burning through our body. It's burning our entire endocrine system, our lymph system. Now it's just cascading and we're just searching for a pill or some type of therapy. There's something that you specifically said to me, maybe the first time we met and I've never been able to get away from it since, which was about scent and how we use all these things to mask sense and ignore like, why does your body smell bad? Why do you have to put this in the car to make your car? What we do is we don't, our bodies are signaling, hey, you're sick or there's something going on and you're like, I don't want to smell that, so let me mask it. And that's a perfect example of just getting away from our intuition. Multi-cutribillion, is that a number? Cutribillion? Cutribillion? Industry on masking all of these things. You walking by the purfews and the airport kills me. Dangerous. No, but ever since you told me that, I'm like, that's 100% right. But just the mentality of covering covering up something, covering up the blemish, covering up the smell, covering up the Candida rotting inside of you. That's like, you know, it's the whole thing, like, you know, we're masking this symptom to hide it. I think about it everything. Why does your breath smell? It's because there's something going on. It's halotosis. Halotosis isn't going to cure from, you know, breathments or using some crazy sterilization, listerine, which wipes out your entire oral microbiome. So your body cannot manufacture nitrates, so you can't produce nitric oxide, which you need for vasodilation and circulation. Like, I can go on and on and on team. What this is, this is, I think we've done it. Yeah, it's, it's, um, I have a couple things. Yeah. What's an unpopular opinion? You're most unpopular opinion at this moment. My most unpopular opinion, we don't need the government to tell us what's toxic in our food. It's not like this whole thing. Like, I know you have a guest coming on here and that's incredible. We have all different kinds of guests. You never know what you're going to get. It's just like the whole thing around, you know, red dye and all of these things. Like, I'm sorry. Like, we got to be human beings and be able to discern what we should put in our body and what we shouldn't. And I don't need some corrupt falling apart government. And I'm just thinking government in general. I'm not talking about the new administration at all. We are just biohacu over trying. Full body ozone, rectally. Didn't, oh, didn't you try stem cells in your dick or was that not you? No comment. What's the first thing you do when you wake up, right when you open your eyes? I think God and I send a love to my father. Sonna or cold punch? Sonna. Same. Favorite philosophy quote. That's a tough one. This is a tough one. It's rip off the top of your head. There's so many. What is my favorite philosophy quote? Mine's everything's happening for you. Everything's happening for you. I like that. You want to make God laugh telling your plans? That's not a philosophy. I like that too. Last thing you Googled besides porn. Here's a watch porn. I don't watch porn. I know, I'm just kidding. That was a test. That was a test. You see that? He doesn't watch porn. What's the weather in Austin? Hmm, that's a little vanilla, really? I think that's the last thing I Googled. I feel like your Google history is berserk. I would stay off Google. Okay. Who would play you in a movie? I don't know, who's a epic, heart-open Renaissance man? Yes. Who can pass as being a full-blooded person? Well, I would let you have Tom Cruise, but I need to reserve him for me. No, you're Tom Cruise. Yeah, I gotta keep Tom Cruise for me, because I-- Are you guys the same height? What symbiotic a product is the most underrated? All of them, but our new Sheila G.D. is gonna change the world. It's gonna change the world. One word or one sentence to describe the colostrum. Magic. You love the colostrum. Okay, it's a game changer, because that colostrum is full spectrum. Okay. Non-denatured and it's loaded with lactoferin, which everyone needs, especially women. Well, I think we should talk about symbiotic before you go. It's very exciting. Lauren has joined your Enviishment Board. This is very exciting. I'm really honored. And I know that Chahavan Durana are extremely stoked on that, as is the entire symbiotic of family. Well, we love how I feel about you. And to have you involved intimately with where we're at and what we're doing is just epic. It's funny, because I use our partnership whenever I'm talking to other brands, because what's been so great about our partnership is all these brands want one-night stands with me. They want to fuck me, get it in and leave. And that's not the way it works. I need a marriage. I need a 360 partnership. And that's the reason that our partnership has been so successful is because I'm a genuine fan. I give it to my kids. My husband takes it. I give it to my parents. I love the product. I also love the founders. And I'm just so excited to be asked to be on the advisor board. Well, here's the thing. Doing what we do, you meet a lot of people. And it's hard sometimes to discern who's doing it for the right reasons. Oh my God, that's gonna be the new word. It's not hard. It's hard to think. That's an affirmation. It's harder than you'd think. Not what I would say. But you know, we know you guys. You know you guys for so long. And I know how passionate all of you are about this, especially you, Dr. Anunchahab. And like I said, like we not only take all of these ourselves, but our children, your friends. It's been a great partnership. But this is, I think like an interesting involvement. And you know, it's funny like when I talk about the brand on the show, and I try to like condense it into 60 seconds to talk like on a reader whatever. I'm like, well, like you can't do it. You can't do it. It's too much. We're dynamic. We're expansive. It's, the ideation is built on intention. It comes from a foundation of real groundbreaking mechanisms to give people literally supplements that are now food. We're breaking ground on new liposomal technology right now. All of our products are being upgraded. No one's doing this. Nobody, nobody's spending the time and discipline and the R&D on really rebuilding the brand. We just brought in my new sidekick. I'm going to give her a shout out. Dr. Shilpa route, PhD. She's my new sidekick. She's epic. The fact now that I'm like coming into form with this level of sophistication, it just, we're really hitting the ground running. Again, it's all done with like going and bringing and securing the best raw materials on Earth. I literally just got back from Iceland. We brought the cleanest, plastic-free, most diverse salt on Earth in its inner products. Like it's actually in our products. Like who does that? Because you guys are giving a code to everyone I want to go around the room real quick and just say what product you would start with. All the first, I'm loving the elderberry pregnant. I've had it every single day and I either have it just in my mouth or I put it in sparkling water. Nice. And it's so good in sparkling water. I froth it up. Yeah. It's delicious. So that's my pick. You got to try the elderberry. Well, it's going to be hard for me to pick one. I think you have the best glutathione period. Period. With PQQ. Yeah, I take it. I think my overdoing, I take like sometimes like two a day. No, I did six one day and I was just lit. Okay, so I'm fine. Yeah, because it's glutathione. It's a tripeptide that your body makes your liver mix. Right. It's part of that whole system. It's timely right now and obviously like vitamin D has been shown to longevity. I think you guys have one of the most complete formulas. Lipe is normal with the, my kids love it. They call it yellow and red. I love that. They want yellow and red being the beef. Yeah, complex. I could go on and on. The bees, which we also have the really the most active forms in there, is now going to be coming in a packet soon. Oh, I like that. The D3K2, CoQ10 with both forms of K2, MK7 and MK4 are all so coming in a packet soon. So it's just our magnesium is turning into a complex. It's like a game changer after game changer. Oh, I remember my, my quote, your true self is immaterial. Your conscious is a theory. It pre-exist your body and transcends the material. Wow. Well, Jesus Christ. You're not a little better than ours, right? Before you go and we give the code, you know, what's your, come on. You have to pick one, baby. Someone that's a new user, someone that or new customer, someone that's a, no, just give him your favorite. Colostrum. I mean, it's mother's milk liquid.
