I want you to kind of talk from your words, like what you do and why it's so important.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 435: Dr. Stacy Sims: Workout Like a Woman Not a "Little Man" + How To Train Based on Hormones
So I got so many questions. Okay. So you said, you said pull her up. Okay. So when people, women hear high intensity training, they're thinking orange theory. They're thinking Barry's bootcamp. I don't know if you know what these, I mean, New Zealand that they have Barry's bootcamp.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 435: Dr. Stacy Sims: Workout Like a Woman Not a "Little Man" + How To Train Based on Hormones
They're thinking of these classes that are, they're like taking you to the max and the, you know, or they're trying on the, on the treadmills and then they're going back and forth and you sweat like a, you know, you sweat like a fiend. I heard you say that that is not. actually high-intensity training. Why is that not considered high-intensity training?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 435: Dr. Stacy Sims: Workout Like a Woman Not a "Little Man" + How To Train Based on Hormones
And so does that, so if I were to do or not, or anybody who was perimetopause in their forties or over, and they think that they're doing themselves a service by going to Orange Theory five days a week or Barry's Bootcamp, will those classes actually make them worse off with more body fat than if they just didn't do anything or just, I don't know, just walked around the block?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 435: Dr. Stacy Sims: Workout Like a Woman Not a "Little Man" + How To Train Based on Hormones
Wow. So if I were to do like a weighted bet, like if I wore a weighted vest and went for an inclined walk on a treadmill at a low pace, would that be more beneficial than doing Orange Theory class for perimenopause?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 435: Dr. Stacy Sims: Workout Like a Woman Not a "Little Man" + How To Train Based on Hormones
I love that you said that. So, you know, it's really funny. I'm laughing and giggling because I get all these questions all the time about what do I do? Should I do this or that or this? And, you know, weighted vests have become like, again, it's like the new kale. The thing. Like everything. There's all these trends that like come and go.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 435: Dr. Stacy Sims: Workout Like a Woman Not a "Little Man" + How To Train Based on Hormones
And, you know, then all of a sudden, all the same people who are wearing these weighted vests are now complaining of their foot is hurting. Their Achilles is hurting. They can't walk. Because the weight from here is going down to your foot because it's not properly balanced. Right.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 435: Dr. Stacy Sims: Workout Like a Woman Not a "Little Man" + How To Train Based on Hormones
So, OK, so then to do that, that's a better option. OK, so then what now? So what is polarized training? Because you said that or two. You said polarized training is a big one.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 435: Dr. Stacy Sims: Workout Like a Woman Not a "Little Man" + How To Train Based on Hormones
How many times a week would you recommend someone doing this type of workout?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 435: Dr. Stacy Sims: Workout Like a Woman Not a "Little Man" + How To Train Based on Hormones
Why is jump training so popular? Not popular. Why is jump training so important?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 435: Dr. Stacy Sims: Workout Like a Woman Not a "Little Man" + How To Train Based on Hormones
What would be considered jump training, like plyo jumps, like on a box?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 435: Dr. Stacy Sims: Workout Like a Woman Not a "Little Man" + How To Train Based on Hormones
So don't laugh, but how about just jumping on a trampoline? Because you're still going up and down vertically. Right.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 435: Dr. Stacy Sims: Workout Like a Woman Not a "Little Man" + How To Train Based on Hormones
How about, you're a nutrition scientist as well. So what is your take on women and fasting in perimetopause and menopause?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 435: Dr. Stacy Sims: Workout Like a Woman Not a "Little Man" + How To Train Based on Hormones
Yeah, but again, another huge trend, as I'm sure you know, is this whole idea of fasting, fasting, fasting. And I don't understand how with hormonal issues and or just as someone who is someone who is active, how do you not eat and then also be active? If you're someone who doesn't move all day, right? Okay. And I know that, I think she was on my podcast. I think you did her podcast.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 435: Dr. Stacy Sims: Workout Like a Woman Not a "Little Man" + How To Train Based on Hormones
And she goes on about like, autophagy and how it's actually really important for women to be fasting in their 40s. And this whole idea, it's actually much healthier to do it. And we went back and forth because I can see how it is for men. I see how men respond to the fasting differently than how I've seen women respond. Yeah.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 435: Dr. Stacy Sims: Workout Like a Woman Not a "Little Man" + How To Train Based on Hormones
Right. Because, you know, I think a lot of times a woman and a man can do the same workout, eat the same food, do all the same training, and the results are very, very different. And it's frustrating. I mean, it's frustrating for me anyway, right? Yeah. So true. And, you know, a lot of times I would kind of, you know, people chalk it up to genetics or that men just have more muscle mass on them.

Episode 435: Dr. Stacy Sims: Workout Like a Woman Not a "Little Man" + How To Train Based on Hormones
So, okay. And then, by the way, I just remember something else going back to the other part about training. We talked about menopause and perimetopause training. What about if you're not at that place? What type of training should someone actually do if they're in their 20s or 30s that's different than when they're 40s, 50s, 60s? We missed that part.

So what happens if we do the cold therapy? I mean, because I hate it, you know, and I won't do it. And I get a lot of, you know, slack for that. But what does it do to the body in layman's terms? Like what does it do to a woman's body when they jump into a cold plunge? Because I think it's good for them.

Habits and Hustle
Episode 435: Dr. Stacy Sims: Workout Like a Woman Not a "Little Man" + How To Train Based on Hormones
No, I wish I did sweat. It doesn't get hot. These things don't get that very hot. Have you ever been in one? Like these things are like 50 degrees much cooler than the Finnish saunas.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 435: Dr. Stacy Sims: Workout Like a Woman Not a "Little Man" + How To Train Based on Hormones
I know, that's what I'm saying. It's like a cold plunge. I mean, it's like crazy. It's so not hot, but I don't know. I mean, so you believe that that's kind of all hype, the infrared sauna, because it gets maybe your skin a little bit warm.

Biomechanics is a really big one, right? Because even women who have, I'll talk about that later on in life, but I saw something about how women have more ACL issues, right?

I'm laughing, crying and laughing at the same time because I've had, I'm in my 40s. I had the frozen shoulder for two years almost. It's finally now dissipated. And I had the plantar fasciitis. And I didn't realize that those were two things that went with my age. I had no clue until I went down. I thought maybe I like pulled a muscle in my shoulder.

Episode 435: Dr. Stacy Sims: Workout Like a Woman Not a "Little Man" + How To Train Based on Hormones
And the guy was like, no, you have a frozen shoulder. And I'm like, what the hell is that? Like, how does someone get that? They're like, you're old, basically, is what he said to me, right? And I never understood, like, I get the ACL because you're right. Like, we are quad dominant, right? And women tend to do those lunges and those squats. But the frozen shoulder, I didn't understand.

Oh, that's good. Right. And so, but as we get older, we talked about, you were saying like, as you're getting into perimenopause, menopause, let's stay with that because I think my audience can appreciate that. And that's something that I feel like that's become super trendy now too. Like I don't remember, maybe because I'm at that age, I'm seeing it more or is it something that- No, it's come up.

Thank you, because I think that's a great point. Because like I said, I see it, if you scroll on social media, every second post is about menopause and or perimenopause. And I think the problem is there is so much noise and so much information, people are very confused. I know I'm confused, right? And I do this for a living.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 435: Dr. Stacy Sims: Workout Like a Woman Not a "Little Man" + How To Train Based on Hormones

Episode 435: Dr. Stacy Sims: Workout Like a Woman Not a "Little Man" + How To Train Based on Hormones
Dr. Stacey Sims, I want you to know that I've been a fan of your work for, I just said this earlier, but for years, because I saw your TED Talk on basically how women are not these little men. And, you know, the fact that you've been out there, like you said, talking about women and how women are not like men and they shouldn't be training like men and blah, blah.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 435: Dr. Stacy Sims: Workout Like a Woman Not a "Little Man" + How To Train Based on Hormones
Right. I think there's so much confusion. So let's start with perimenopause, right? Because it's before menopause. How should women be training, eating, recovering in that space for optimal results? Yeah.

Like, how can I not be? It's because whenever I saw like randomly one time I was on YouTube and something that you did showed up just randomly and it was so powerful and so good. It was this clip that you were talking about, like someone's perception of you. Ain't none of your business. Is none of your business. And that I was like, wow.

Episode 427: Lisa Nichols: The Art and Science of Impactful Communication + Audience Connection Techniques
But a lot of people that you see, they're not able to do that right away, I would imagine, right? There's a lot of blockages, right? Because of, like we should go back one, right? Because of self-doubt, because of the fear, because of all of these things. So like... That's a great way to kind of tell people to start. Like, that's an action-oriented thing. Baby step. It's a big baby step.

This is why I felt like this was really powerful is because you said that, and I'm paraphrasing, but your dad took you when you're 12 or 10 years old or 11 years old on a dinner date. To the marina.

And, you know, it takes somebody who has a lot of self-worth, not self-confidence. Self-confidence is very different than self-worth.

I have an example for you. There you go. This is more like a meeting. But what I was going to say, this is interesting. I did a TED Talk a few years back that went viral. And it was based on this story that was very, I think it was compelling to everyone because people can, basically it was about the fact that when I was a kid, I got somebody, I got Keanu Reeves to help me make a demo tape.

Episode 427: Lisa Nichols: The Art and Science of Impactful Communication + Audience Connection Techniques

Episode 427: Lisa Nichols: The Art and Science of Impactful Communication + Audience Connection Techniques
Because I thought nobody would look at me unless I had a big celebrity, right? And I told all my friends and they all laughed at me and then he ended up doing it for me. And so I talked about in my first TED Talk the power of being bold. Because my word is being bold. Like, chase what you want, don't take what you get. Like, chase, chase, chase. Don't just sit back and... acquiesce to good enough.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 427: Lisa Nichols: The Art and Science of Impactful Communication + Audience Connection Techniques
And I think it did very well because A, I think everybody feels that they acquiesce to whatever's in front of them and what's good enough. So it connected to people. And because it was such a like real story that people thought it was like cute that this like kid who's 17 did all this stuff to get to Keanu Reeves and it actually worked, right?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 427: Lisa Nichols: The Art and Science of Impactful Communication + Audience Connection Techniques
And the idea of like being bold and not letting your self-doubt, right? Anyway, why I'm bringing the story up is it had a lot of these elements that you're talking about, right? Yeah, unconscious competence. And so people liked it. Yeah. But it's hard to recreate. So like the reason why I pulled that story because it's like such a memorable thing that happened. Yeah.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 427: Lisa Nichols: The Art and Science of Impactful Communication + Audience Connection Techniques
it changed the entire trajectory of my life, right? Like I never let anybody ever tell me I can't do it because why would I listen to anybody?

Habits and Hustle
Episode 427: Lisa Nichols: The Art and Science of Impactful Communication + Audience Connection Techniques
Because I think what makes anything good, regardless of all these other things, is if people can see themselves in the story. Yeah. And then give them hope. Hope. Because hope is such a big thing, in my opinion, too, that they, too... can do this. They too can live that life.

Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You
There's no way. Because if you work with high performers on the regular, you know that's not even an option for your brain, right? It's not, right? There's no chance in hell that I would not work out for two weeks just because my brain would be shut off. No, I didn't say it didn't work out. Okay. Just do some basic walking? No, no, no, no, no, no. Okay.

Okay. I'm glad I'm unique.

Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You
No, no, no, yeah. Yeah. Because other things happen, right? Not just me, by the way. A lot of people, their mental health takes a nosedive, right? Because then they lose the motivation, the focus, the productivity, your mood. If I don't work out or if I don't do some kind of cardio first thing, even though I know cardio, blah, blah, blah. I know strength training is like the king.

So you work, because I saw that you do like every modality of sports. You do like baseball players, wrestlers, UFC people, like Olympians of all kinds. So my first question then is like, if it's physiology that you're looking at, then it really is individual, right? It's all very personalized, right? It can't just be a one-for-all type of situation.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You
Right. It's like more of a distraction. No question.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You
So a lot of this is mental. In your particular case. No, no, no. I'm saying, but I think it is. I think a lot of people who exercise a lot, maybe at a high intensity, or it's more of an addiction, maybe because it's a distraction, right?

By the way, again, I used to wear those trackers and all the things. And honestly, it gives you more anxiety because you're checking everything all the time. You're checking your sleep.

I have one more question about strength, then I want to move on to nutrition. Okay, but so like, is there a particular, are there training mistakes that people are making or like the do's and don'ts of training? And because, you know, people who are like middle, like, you know, 40s, 50s, is strength training the, would you say is the number one, I guess, exercise modality?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You
Because when I said, the reason I'm asking you this is because when I said I have to do cardio in the morning, you're like, oh, that's okay. Most people who I would ask that to would be like, oh my God, no, you're like breaking down your muscles. You should be doing strength training only. They go through this whole thing of like, they cardio shame me, right? Oh, no.

Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You
Oh yeah. Well, people say that like, you know, you're like that you can cardio can break cardio breaks down your muscle mass, especially as you age, it makes you hungrier, which it does. That's true. Also it's a stressor, which it is.

So it's more about energy expenditure.

I've heard of that before. Did this other guy create that program?

Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You
So running is basically the worst in terms of breaking down your muscle.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You
See, I think, so I thought like, okay, if I'm running like three or four miles a day, let's say, you know, for 40, 45 minutes, that's not as bad as like, when I look at endurance runners or people who are running like 10 miles plus or like. Oh yeah. Like running like.

Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You
50, 100, yeah. You look at them and I hate to say it, but they do look like flabby skinny fat. You know, they don't have the aesthetics that I think that most people are trying to get. They may be thin. Yeah. But they're not toned. So how do I get, what's the delicate balance then? You're saying there is no delicate balance?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You
Oh, it has. Okay. Because someone else pitched me who wrote a book called Arete. Do you know the guy I'm talking about?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You
Because also you're saying because A, because it's energy expenditure, right? There's always so much energy you can put. It's true. Because what happens is there's only time in the day, right? So if you're doing too much cardio, you're not leaving enough time in terms of time, energy to put it. Because what I'll do is I'll run and be like, oh, I'll do my weights later. And then- it always suffers.

Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was a mindset guy. Okay. Yeah, yeah.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You
That makes perfect sense to me, right? Because these UFC fighters, boxers, whoever, they're doing their fights at night. So they also have to be the most optimal at night.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You
That makes perfect sense.

Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You
So even an NBA player, LeBron or whoever, are they doing their heaviest or their most intense workouts late in the day because of that reason?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You
And so your energy expenditure has to go in that game.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You
Yeah. Like you can see them. They're not, they don't look like they're like the most, uh, you know, prowess looking athletes of all time.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You
But that makes perfect sense. So like a regular person who like works a normal day, probably then just by based on what you're saying, working out first thing in the morning or in the morning should be their highest. That's when they're going to have the most energy.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You

So wait, so how is that possible? If you're waking up so early, aren't you depleted though by two o'clock?

But why? How is that possible? What time are you going to bed at night?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You
So then that kind of just takes the whole thing about working. If you're someone who is, is like fighting, let's say at night training, you know, later on in the day is really important because that's when you have to have your optimal energy or an NBA player, whatever.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You
But if you're going to bed at eight o'clock, like a granny, wouldn't you think that you're going to have more energy, like at 10 o'clock in the morning?

Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You
So lack of structure is one huge training mistake people make. And then moving from program to program or thing to thing randomly. Yep. What about plateauing? Because that's how people plateau or is it completely different? Because how... I find that's a problem. Like if you're someone who works out regularly at a moderate to intense level, you do plateau or you're just maintaining.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You

Yeah, even two minutes is fine.

Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You
Well, that's the problem. Also, you know, that's exactly because it's so incredibly difficult to lose two pounds of body fat, but it's so easy to lose 30 pounds, right? Sure. Right? Isn't that like the biggest loser whole thing, right? Of course. Remember this show, The Biggest Loser? They lost 40 pounds in the first week, right? Sure.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You
But when you get down to the nitty gritty, those like the minute minutiae, like... For someone like me to lose a pound of fat is so much more, you have to be so precise in everything you do because you're already doing so much, right?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You
Right?

Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You
So like even people with all these things we're talking about, right? With the red light, the this, the supplements. Yeah, like if you're doing everything, it's hard to know what works, what doesn't work, how much everything is working because you're doing everything.

Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You

Habits and Hustle
Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You
Right. But like you were saying earlier too, a lot of that, a lot of sleep unfortunately is about like other stressors in your life. If you have a lot of other stressors in your life, it will affect your sleep. It's hard not to.

Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You
So my first question is, well, I've had my first question, my eighth question by now, but how many markers do you check for when you do your blood? Like when you test for someone, what are the most important markers?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You
Because what I heard you once say, which I found very interesting, kind of one of the reasons why I wanted to have you on the show is that you're saying that when you get people's results, You don't even do things based on that necessarily. So that to me was very interesting. Like how do you then give someone a program if it's not even based on what their results are off of the blood work?

Okay, so you guys, we have today Dr. Andy Galpin, who is a human performance scientist. I got that right, right? Yeah, nailed it. I love that. I want you to, before we even start, but before I even get into that, let's just do our quick healthy shot. We do this on the podcast. We take this, we take a shot. I've had like a hundred of them.

Oh my gosh. No, no, no. Okay. First of all, like number one, like I said, before we even started rolling, I was really excited to have you on the show because you go so into the weeds. You're very science-based, obviously. You're a professor. You've worked with like literally every single athlete on the planet. because you are a high performance scientist. But what is that?

And it could just be as simple as just being dehydrated.

Episode 431: Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Fitness Trackers and Bloodwork Are Misleading You
Right. So I was going to say, because if like for an example, right, if I'm feeling kind of lethargic and tired, I was getting over a flu or whatever, flying, whatever it was, and then I got my blood taken, my markers will be very different that time than it would be in a week's time.

Like, what is the, because when I was reading your bio without, I mean, I did my own kind of like knowledge and research, but then when I got your bio, it gave me all these, like all these things you have, like your PhD and all that. What is a high performance scientist?

Well, what I find interesting, again, is that especially in the last few years, I feel a lot of this telemedicine, a lot of these clinics have popped up. And if testosterone's low, right, they just automatically put you on testosterone. They automatically give you hormone therapy.

And so I'm going to ask the Bravo lady. So how did you decide that Jason was going to be the sexiest man on Bravo? Is it because you guys just noticed the influx of women who are constantly asking about him versus anybody else on the show? Well, is that really how? Yeah. But, like, who else do you guys even have on Bravo?

She doesn't know from, from all this.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 423: Jason Chambers: Below Deck's Captain on Navigating Fame, Fatherhood, and Luxury Yachts

Episode 423: Jason Chambers: Below Deck's Captain on Navigating Fame, Fatherhood, and Luxury Yachts
I'm in place A. Well, next time you'll be here, you'll be at place B and then C. But what I talk about, my entire platform is really based around discipline. You rely on discipline. You don't rely on motivation because motivation wanes. So does willpower to muscle. Yeah. It doesn't, it doesn't last. So discipline is how you get from A to B and being consistent is, it's not about talent.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 423: Jason Chambers: Below Deck's Captain on Navigating Fame, Fatherhood, and Luxury Yachts
It's really about being consistent day to day. It's not the most intense, but it's the most often like that. And it's also the most boring stuff, right? Like doing the same things day in, day out gives you that mindset of, you know, of, of being accountable to yourself.

But you have to make habits. Like, that's why, you know, people laugh at me because I'm very regimented. But if you're not to a certain degree regimented, things don't get done, right? Like, if you have goals, you have to have some type of plan and you've got to execute on that plan or things will just like, you know, maybe it can happen, maybe it won't, right? Right.

Episode 423: Jason Chambers: Below Deck's Captain on Navigating Fame, Fatherhood, and Luxury Yachts
That's amazing. You know, I have an idea for you. You know what you'd do great at, I think, because of who would watch it? Like, if you were to do, like, some kind of, like, partnership with, like, a QVC or an HSN, because the people who watch QVC and HSN, there's, like, the shopping networks, are the same people who are watching reality TV.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 423: Jason Chambers: Below Deck's Captain on Navigating Fame, Fatherhood, and Luxury Yachts
They love reality, you know, they love The Real Housewives. I'm sure they love your show, Below Deck. If you were to do like some kind of partnership with them, they would be able to make this so you wouldn't have to pay for the manufacturing or any of that. And then they could put you on the show and you would basically sell on their, you know, block of time.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 423: Jason Chambers: Below Deck's Captain on Navigating Fame, Fatherhood, and Luxury Yachts
And the women would love to see you because they love you probably already.

I think shirt off would probably do better.

Episode 423: Jason Chambers: Below Deck's Captain on Navigating Fame, Fatherhood, and Luxury Yachts
But maybe you could do like a tight tank top.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 423: Jason Chambers: Below Deck's Captain on Navigating Fame, Fatherhood, and Luxury Yachts
But to me, that would be like a great money gig for you. And that way, like right now, you're paying for the manufacturing of this, right? You're paying for all of this. Like all that heavy lifting is coming from your pocket. Yep. Yeah. And so like you would – like this is what I – like I think it's a no-brainer.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 423: Jason Chambers: Below Deck's Captain on Navigating Fame, Fatherhood, and Luxury Yachts
There are people who I meet in LA who literally don't have even half of what you have. They don't even have – like they have like one season of some, you know, bow-dunk horrible reality show from some shitty network. And they're out there with their agents and their managers and their publicists trying to like hawk something.

And also, the big trend is hydrogen water.

No matter what.

Episode 429: Dr. Michael Breus: The Sleep Doctor on Transforming Sleep and Health with Simple Daily Habits
That's a great, even on the weekends, that's a great tip. By the way, though, I think, doesn't it happen naturally? Like I'm so used to waking up at 6.20 during the week with my kid, that like I automatically, my eyes will, my eyes just pop open.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 429: Dr. Michael Breus: The Sleep Doctor on Transforming Sleep and Health with Simple Daily Habits
Yeah, no, that's so, so you're saying once, so even if that happens on the weekend, because that happens to me, Saturday and Sunday, pop, my eyes go open. I shouldn't just like, so what I would normally do is just like, I would like be on my phone checking, like I'd go on social media until 7.15, not to do that.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 429: Dr. Michael Breus: The Sleep Doctor on Transforming Sleep and Health with Simple Daily Habits

The problem is getting up in the middle of the night. Oh, yes. I can fix that. Okay, so this is my problem. So I fall asleep, no problem. 3.30, boom, I'm awake. And then once I'm awake, I can't fall asleep again.

Episode 421: Sahil Bloom: How Boring and Basic Routines Can Build 5 Types of True Wealth
It's so true because success, I think it depends on who you ask. It's all perspective, right? I think the easy thing is, oh, how much money did you make? Are you successful? But to me, actually, the people who are the most wealthy, richest people I know are usually the most unsuccessful in everything else in life, which makes it kind of like a really, it's like the juxtaposition, right?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 421: Sahil Bloom: How Boring and Basic Routines Can Build 5 Types of True Wealth
Because they focus solely on money, but they have no time, they have no relationships, they have no nothing, and their health is taking a nosedive. And I guess, not to kind of sit there and just kind of like pontificate, but how do you, if you are somebody... You can't really change that perspective, right? Like you don't know what you don't know.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 421: Sahil Bloom: How Boring and Basic Routines Can Build 5 Types of True Wealth
Do you think you have to have some kind of like big moment in time, like something that gets slapped in your face to kind of see that perspective? Because otherwise, I think people lose out on a lot of other types of wealth they can be.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 421: Sahil Bloom: How Boring and Basic Routines Can Build 5 Types of True Wealth
There's not, but I think they're trying to be cautionary. But like, I just remember like, oh my God, as I'm like drinking and I'm like, maybe I should just have half of this time.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 421: Sahil Bloom: How Boring and Basic Routines Can Build 5 Types of True Wealth
That's low. I thought it'd be even higher, actually.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 421: Sahil Bloom: How Boring and Basic Routines Can Build 5 Types of True Wealth
I'm going to use him as an example, okay? Elon Musk is obviously the richest person in the world. But I feel like his life is very lopsided, right?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 421: Sahil Bloom: How Boring and Basic Routines Can Build 5 Types of True Wealth
Like he may be like a rock star in so many other areas, but really if you actually listen to him and talk with him and see him, you can tell that there's like a deep need, like there's a lot of other things lacking, you know, in his life, which means I bet you if you were to sit here and talk to him, he'd think he wasn't very successful.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 421: Sahil Bloom: How Boring and Basic Routines Can Build 5 Types of True Wealth
He'd be successful in one area, but I bet you he'd be really lonely and sad and probably not very happy, right?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 421: Sahil Bloom: How Boring and Basic Routines Can Build 5 Types of True Wealth
Right, it's the ripple effect, right?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 421: Sahil Bloom: How Boring and Basic Routines Can Build 5 Types of True Wealth
And I think the start is always in, like the stop is in the start, right? And it's like inertia, right? Something in motion stays in motion.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 421: Sahil Bloom: How Boring and Basic Routines Can Build 5 Types of True Wealth
But I think it's very true. I think it's about something in motion stays in motion. And I guess what I always get, people always say to me, well, how do I start? Like, what do I do? And my answer, and I think we're very aligned here because I think when I was going through your stuff, I always say it's about actually exercising. Exercising, I think, is the catalyst for
Habits and Hustle
Episode 421: Sahil Bloom: How Boring and Basic Routines Can Build 5 Types of True Wealth
And it's like a gateway drug to life, in my opinion.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 421: Sahil Bloom: How Boring and Basic Routines Can Build 5 Types of True Wealth
Because to me, number one, what it does to your brain, like for me, it's not just a physicality. It's like what you do for your mental health, your focus, all the things. I used to do this treadmill. I don't know if you were here yet, Ed, on treadmills. Like I issued this podcast on treadmills. Sorry, I don't think I said that right.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 421: Sahil Bloom: How Boring and Basic Routines Can Build 5 Types of True Wealth
So we had two treadmills here facing each other and we would walk and talk. I love that. Right? Because I think you get way more creative. Like your ideas are better. Your energy is better. You think faster. To me, if you don't have that as part of your daily habit and ritual, you are really missing out on so much. Like energy begets energy.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 421: Sahil Bloom: How Boring and Basic Routines Can Build 5 Types of True Wealth
When I don't work out, I'm way more lethargic than if I do, even if I'm super tired.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 421: Sahil Bloom: How Boring and Basic Routines Can Build 5 Types of True Wealth
Tell me.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 421: Sahil Bloom: How Boring and Basic Routines Can Build 5 Types of True Wealth
That's a really great point. You know, me and my husband for the first, what, like six years of our life being married, or maybe even maybe less, I don't remember, we would go for a walk every night and we'd walk to dinner because we had a destination, right? And it had to be at least two miles. So we would have that time.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 421: Sahil Bloom: How Boring and Basic Routines Can Build 5 Types of True Wealth
And I think it was the best habit that I've ever, ever kind of brought into our marriage because that's like the way to connect to people and to connect to your partner, whatever. Otherwise, you just get, you like get lost in the weeds of life, right? Yep.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 421: Sahil Bloom: How Boring and Basic Routines Can Build 5 Types of True Wealth
And so anything involving exercise, and it's not because I'm like a fitness fanatic or whatever, but I think because it does teach you such foundational skills in life, like discipline and delayed gratification and all these things. If people can just like get to that in their brain, their lives can just be exponentially better.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 421: Sahil Bloom: How Boring and Basic Routines Can Build 5 Types of True Wealth
Have you ever seen these before?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 421: Sahil Bloom: How Boring and Basic Routines Can Build 5 Types of True Wealth
You just said the main word, though, confidence. Because I think it breeds confidence. Because you see yourself doing a hard thing over and over again, you will become... you'll have that self-efficacy, like I can do hard things, I am confident, I can finish this thing.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 421: Sahil Bloom: How Boring and Basic Routines Can Build 5 Types of True Wealth
And I think that, like I said earlier, is that that's why I think people are very myopic when they think about what exercise really means. And so when I see that as one of your pillars of your wealth of physicality, I think it's like the number one pillar. It's like the number one, if I was gonna do one through five, that's like the first thing because it does open up all these other channels.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 421: Sahil Bloom: How Boring and Basic Routines Can Build 5 Types of True Wealth
And then I have to tell you, and this is not an ad. This is actually genuine. I'm a huge cold brew person, and I'm trying to find the best around wherever I go. The best cold brew I've ever had is a place or a company called Grady's. Do you know what this is?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 421: Sahil Bloom: How Boring and Basic Routines Can Build 5 Types of True Wealth
That's amazing. I love that story, actually. And I bet you when you were 30 and you were kind of like recalibrating your life and you gained all that weight, it's because you weren't working out. And then I bet you one of the first things you did was start working out again.

Episode 437: Annie Särnblad: How to Spot Lies and Detect True Emotions in Seconds
What I think is interesting, you know, you talk about this and what I really, what I kind of glommed onto when I found you was, was about the kids piece, right? Like teaching kids what to look for and how to be safe. And like teaching this to children at a young age so like they don't get themselves into a situation that's dangerous, right? Like what to look for.

Episode 437: Annie Särnblad: How to Spot Lies and Detect True Emotions in Seconds
Like what do you teach kids what to look for that is not safe? That's the first part. It's part A. The second part of that question is what... Can you do the same type of training for somebody online as you can in person? Can you still pick up on these micro expressions as easily online?

not just me when people do really intense cardio they tend to eat a lot more so how do you how do you kind of rectify this problem right like don't do cardio so they won't eat as much because that's what happens too if i don't do my cardio i definitely won't eat as much i won't be as hungry yeah i think this is twofold the first thing is with cardio are you doing it because you truly enjoy it or are you doing it because you're more chasing the sweat chasing the sweat
Habits and Hustle
Episode 436: Tara LaFerrara: Why Strength Training Beats Cardio for Women's Long-Term Health
And like I said, it's also better for my brain. Because when I do strength training without doing cardio, I don't sweat very much, like maybe a little bit. And my brain doesn't get activated. I'm not as sharp afterwards. I'll be better if I didn't do anything. But to me, the combo of doing cardio plus strength training in the same workout is like the king.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 436: Tara LaFerrara: Why Strength Training Beats Cardio for Women's Long-Term Health
When I have to choose one or the other, even though I know intellectually strength training is better for me in terms of my body composition, if I only have time for one, I'll always go with cardio because I know... that I'll make better choices during the day because of it. A lot of times, I'll eat healthier food because my brain is activated better. My mood is so much better.

Yes, I do that all the time too. So I, yes, but like I don't do the high intensity cardio like I used to because I also think it like ruins your adrenals. And my cortisol level goes sky high. So again, it's like everybody's different. And then I end up eating way more. So for me, moderate cardio, like moderate pace, I should say, works the best.

It's so hard though, right? Like we, I think a lot of us know, a lot of women know this already, right? Like people have been talking about the muscle is like the, it's how you stay healthy for as long as possible. Strike training is the king. We all know it. intellectually.

I think it's so much more beneficial to take those five or 10 minutes and go for actually a walk or do like, or just do like dumbbell, like doing lunges with your dumbbells because you have to work your stability muscles.

Just the sheer act of just moving more, more muscle groups at once. But yet, psychologically, women are working out wrong. We still are in this mindset that we should be doing these bicycle crunches or doing certain aerobic exercises or cardio exercises. When lifting heavy has been proven time and time again, all the research has shown that's how you change your body composition.

Episode 434: Tara LaFerrara: How to Build Glutes, Time-Wasting Exercises and the Truth about Belly Fat
Or, you know what, honestly, like in my opinion, it would be, and this is of course my opinion, I think you do all of it. You do sometimes six reps, you do sometimes eight reps, you do sometimes 12 reps because that's how you kind of get that muscle confusion. If you're doing the same amount of reps or the same amount of weight over and over again, you're never going to see any different results.

Episode 434: Tara LaFerrara: How to Build Glutes, Time-Wasting Exercises and the Truth about Belly Fat
Right. So let's go back to this whole about muscle confusion, though, because that's what I was initially like, you know, sometimes in my training, I'll do like one for a while for a few weeks, I'll do like low reps, and then another week, I'll do high reps. And a couple days, I'll do like middle, just so my body's not getting used to it. Would you say that?

Welcome to another Fitness Friday with my friend Leron. Thank you for being here, Leron. Thank you. This is going to be a really speedy, fast episode on five pounds because how often do people say to themselves, if I can just lose five pounds, the last five pounds. So we want to sit here and do a really quick episode on the five top ways that That will help you lose that last five pounds.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 426: Liron Kayvan: The Top 5 Ways to Lose the Last 5 Lbs
Okay. My first top tip is tracking everything you eat because it's calories in versus calories out. As much as people don't want to believe this controversy, it really is about nutrition, right? Like nutrition is going to be the 80-20 rule. You can work out all day, but if you're not... If you're not watching what you're intaking, you know, in the kitchen, you're going to be in trouble.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 426: Liron Kayvan: The Top 5 Ways to Lose the Last 5 Lbs
So really track everything you're eating so you know how much it is. It's very different than eyeballing. And that is a very big thing that can move the needle a lot.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 426: Liron Kayvan: The Top 5 Ways to Lose the Last 5 Lbs
Oh, okay. We can do that. Okay. The other thing I think is really important is portions. Again, it's kind of in the same vein as in the nutrition vein, which is watching your portions, tracking what you're eating. The third thing is really not eating too little. I think eating too little is where a lot of people make mistakes because they actually end up eating more later on because...
Habits and Hustle
Episode 426: Liron Kayvan: The Top 5 Ways to Lose the Last 5 Lbs
your willpower and your discipline ends up flailing when you get really hungry and when your body is deficient in nutrients. So if you are somebody who thinks that if you eat less, that's going to actually help you lose weight in the long term, in the long run, that actually works against you. Eating foods that are highly dense in nutrients, though, like I'm saying for breakfast, for
Habits and Hustle
Episode 426: Liron Kayvan: The Top 5 Ways to Lose the Last 5 Lbs
So for me, one of the ways that when I need to kind of like rein it in, I always eat breakfast, but I eat protein for breakfast. And that protein, that protein first thing in the morning really helps me with my satiation throughout the day. When I'm not eating protein first thing in the morning, almost always I end up eating way more, way more calories, way more bad stuff.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 426: Liron Kayvan: The Top 5 Ways to Lose the Last 5 Lbs
down the road because I'm starving. So that little thing, wait, can I finish it? That little thing of eating protein first thing really helps me out. So I eat eggs. I'll have a protein shake if I'm on the go. It makes a big difference. And then one more thing. Am I allowed to?

Habits and Hustle
Episode 426: Liron Kayvan: The Top 5 Ways to Lose the Last 5 Lbs
Right? When I don't sleep properly, without question, I will eat way more bad shit for myself. And more food, right? Because my inhibitions are less. I'm crankier. I need that sugar. I need that savory. So I'll eat things that are just naturally not as good for me. Makes a big difference. So are those five? That's five. Okay. Those are my five. Yeah.

Walking is a big one, actually. That's a big one. Okay, go on. I'm going to add walking, but if you can add a weighted vest to that walk, it amps up the calories you burn, but it's great for your bone density, great for extra resistance. There's so many added benefits. I love walking with a weighted vest. Yeah. I also like you can multitask. I do a lot of my work calls while I'm walking.

Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
And fiber is like a major macro ingredient, a macronutrient that's so important. And it helps with keeping you full and your digestion and your gut.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
So besides just making sure you are eating enough protein, make sure you're eating enough fiber. And if you can't eat fiber, then get a supplement that can help you with getting that fiber because it keeps you full longer, faster, not faster, but longer. It helps with your absorption of your nutrients.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
So if you're not absorbing your nutrients, the other problem is that you may eat more because you don't feel like you're eating properly. Does that make sense? Yeah.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
And I think they say what you should be eating between 25 and 30 grams of fiber per day. Right now, I guess, depending on the size of the person. But I think if you can do that, like that's why incorporating fruits and vegetables is so important. Taking a supplement. That's where I think where the supplements come.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
Like I was saying earlier, I think sometimes we're supplementing not for our body, but for what people think is like what's popular. Right. Like you're taking the trendiest supplement.

Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
supplement yeah some really age obscure thing right versus what your body actually what you actually need like if you know you're somebody's not eating enough fiber then take that as a supplement if you're somebody's not eating enough fats like fatty fish then you could have like take an omega like making sure you're supplementing for yourself will help balance out your your nutrition or your nutrients properly that makes sense
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
I think those are good ones. What else did we miss? Eating enough protein, eating enough fiber. Don't overly restrict your calories. That's another big one. I think people sometimes think in order to lose weight, they have to eat less. That's another big common myth because sometimes what happens is we end up eating more down the road because we're trying to eat less at a certain time.

And that is, it's really important to have, I eat, I'm, I eat very boring, right?

Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?

Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
To anybody it's boring, right? Like I eat the same thing over and over again. But I will say that I do, even though I think it's important, I do think that I did my body an injustice, which is like, I think variety actually works better overall for your overall health. Like, because if you're not eating a variety of foods, you might be missing out on some nutrients that, that you otherwise need.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
I do. I actually do. But it's super easy when you're here because it's so easy. We've known each other for so long. We're also neighbors. We're also neighbors. And we just like to blab about all things health and fitness. But today we're going to be covering a lot on nutrition because I think people are making big mistakes with their nutrition. Agreed.

Literally rainbow, like all the colors. Like I feel like it's really important to incorporate vegetables

Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
I also think though, though people do that. I think that's also because if it looks good, people are, it's more enticing to eat. For sure. Because we're wired to eat foods based visually. Yeah. You know, I recently went to a restaurant here. I'm really, I'm so upset about this. I really am.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
Like, first of all, I go to this restaurant like at least five times a week for, like this to me was like the thing that I thought it was the cleanest version, right? Like it was, I get a chicken kebab and salad, right? And I loved it. I loved the chicken and the garlic sauce on the side. And it was like, it's something that I felt like was the healthiest version, like at the restaurant.

I love it. I love the garlic sauce with the white. Oh, it's good. It's good. It's delicious. So I would literally force whoever I would be having like a meal with. I'd be like, let's go to this restaurant. Right. And recently I found out and the chicken is like they grilled the chicken in front of you. Like they put it on the barbecue.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
And I'm like, and I was like, I thought it was super healthy, right? And I asked them, I'm like, what's in the marinade? It's so delicious. And like, I've asked a couple of times and I got the basics the first time. Oh, it's olive oil. We put some yogurt in it.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
Yeah. Okay. No. But then they told me that they're like, the one guy was like, and we use egg color number 40. I'm like, huh? And he's like, I'm like, it wasn't, I'm like, isn't this saffron, the color? I'm like, they're like, no, it's yellow egg 40. I'm like, what are you talking about? He goes in the back. I'm like, let me see what you're talking about.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
He brings out, he brought, yes, he brought out the food coloring that they add to the recipe to make it look yellow, to make it look like they're using saffron. Yeah. Because saffron is really- Saffron's expensive.

Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
Well, saffron's a really expensive spice, right?

Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
Okay, but the chicken skewer is $22. It's not like it's so cheap. And I assumed that it was like a spice that they were using. I told, he broke my heart when he brought out the egg color number 40, like the egg yolk- To make it a little yellow? To make it yellow.

And because of that, they're not reaching their overall health goals. 80% of your goals, fitness-wise, body-wise, comes from your nutrition. It's not... You're not going to be making... That's what they say, like, abs are made in the kitchen. They're not made at the gym. And you can be squatting all day. And you can be lunging all night. But if you're not eating properly, then good luck to you.

Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
No, in the marinade that he marinates the chicken in. And so it took me four people to get me to the actual answer. The first three people just said, oh, it's olive oil and lemon juice. They use all the basic ingredients. So I thought, oh, great. But it was the actual, the guy told me that.

So that's really interesting. So to me, there's a fine line between being, is that deception? Because people are going to California. And I'll tell you why. People are going to California Chicken Cafe. For me, it's called the Peter Grill. And I would go there all the time. And I was really, like, I thought I was like doing a healthy thing for myself.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
And so... I really wanted to do an episode, a fast episode, short episode on, I believe, the top nutrition mistakes that people are making. And then you can tell me what you think, okay? How's that sound? Sounds great. I believe some of the top nutrition mistakes that people are making that really can overhaul your overall goals if you just watch on these. The first one is your portions.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
Like, I thought like, this is like, I'm going here because I believed it to be the healthier option. I didn't think that they would be using that ingredient like food coloring. Like to me, I think there is like a level of deception because people are going to these places because they think they're doing something healthy for themselves. I agree with you though. It is deception.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
It's not the restaurant's job to make me healthy. I hear that. And I think it's like their job is for their bottom line and for their profit. Absolutely. But there is something to be said for these places that kind of position themselves as like healthy options. And then they're doing things that are kind of not that healthy.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
I know.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
I agree. But this is where the fine line becomes, right? I believe that we all have to take ownership for our own health for sure, right? And I don't disagree with you. I believe, though, that if someone is under the impression that they are doing something healthy for you and they're not outwardly giving you the facts— We should all be our own investigative journalists.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
I didn't get to the bottom of what those ingredients were in that chicken skewer, how they marinate the chicken, until I asked four different people. The first three people did not disclose the food coloring. And it's not like it's a recipe that they're putting on the door saying, by the way, this is the ingredients. enter at your own risk, right?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
So I had to like literally go to like the fourth person who then at least gave me the truth. I don't think that's fair. Just like if at the chicken cafe or wherever, they're saying to you, oh, you know what? We're using olive oil. But are they?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
There's a deception piece. There is a deception piece. I'm not saying you've got to make me healthy. I'm not saying that the restaurant is beholden on them. No, of course it's my responsibility. But at least provide the facts to me and then let me make my own decisions.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
But then again, not to get into the nuance, right? Is it practical? No, but then again, it is technically olive oil.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
But they omitted the fact that there's also seed oil.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
I know. By the way, Canada too. This is a US thing. Because it was linked to ADD. Yeah. There's a lot, but the thing is like, that's a whole thing right now in the US, right? Like things that are in the US, nutrition wise is not, they are adding all this shit to the food.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
I think portions is where people always fail. We think we know, we eyeball it. We think, okay, that's a chicken breast or this looks like a normal size of rice or pasta. And we're always wrong. Because if you actually look at what an actual portion is to what we're actually eating, very, very different. And that can make a major difference in your overall calorie intake.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
That's like a big movement right now, is that because, yeah, I agree with you. Like, they're adding things in the U.S. that they're not. And it has to be from much more of the top. Nothing gets changed in the middle.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
Yeah, I understand that. Okay, you guys. Thank you.

Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
So if we are much more mindful of our portions, it will save you a lot of heartache. That's the first one. Another big one that I think is really important is supplementing. I think that we rely on supplements way too much over our actual nutrition, like what we're actually eating. And it's not making us any healthier.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
I think if we actually ate the nutrients that our body needs, it would help us with our overall satiation. Yeah. Right? For sure. And another, I know this is another big one, and I know you're going to definitely agree with me on this one, is people are not consuming enough protein. Yeah.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
That is like the real, that is like the number one. I mean, protein satiates you, right? Like if I'm not eating enough protein, I am starving, literally starving. And I think if people would uptake their protein, it's like a game changer.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
Well, first of all, it also regulates my blood sugar. Like I'm like, I shake if I'm hungry. And the second I eat a piece of chicken, I feel so much better. And I'm a big animal protein person. I think that's like the really, like to me, you don't have to be an animal protein person. You can be eating, you can eat other things that are not animal protein. You can try. You can try.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
But animal protein to me is like the number one source for my protein.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
Oh, 100%. And like the other really big one is that eliminating food groups is a real mistake, right? Not eating enough carbs, thinking that carbs are going to make you fat. No, it's the portion and the kind of carb will make you fat, not an actual carbohydrate. Eliminating that from your diet is such a bad move.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
You have to. In order to having a balanced plan is what it is, right? You can't just eliminate because your body is going to crave it and you're going to eat it somewhere. You're going to eat something else that's maybe not as good for you,
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
Well, I feel like that's a big one, right? Because people, they're not relying on the muscle they're building. They're relying on- Yeah, big mistake, huge mistake. Like, what's it called? Like they're overestimating the fat loss and underestimating the muscle gain.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
But it's really hard. So I think when you eat carbs, like you're saying, you may lose that water weight, right?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
So then what would be a good strategy, in your opinion, where we can balance it, right? Because we don't want to overeat carbs or anything, right? Like, by the way, do you believe in this myth that eating too much protein will be bad for your kidneys? No. You don't believe in that?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?

You don't?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
Well, I see, this is the thing, right? Like to me, like we talked about protein is so important. People are getting their protein, let's say just from like their shakes. Are they getting enough protein then? Right. Because to me, people are exclusively getting it from their protein shakes. Yeah, well, to me, I feel like that you can't just exclusively get your protein from a protein shake.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
Well, I would think you'd be like, for me, when I have a protein shake, I'm starving 20 minutes later, right? Because I guess maybe because it digests really quickly into your body, whatever. But I feel like animal protein for me is what actually, the animal protein is what satiates me.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
Yeah, me too.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
Listen, I love, by the way, I have a protein shake. I try to have a protein shake on the go. Like I have like my, by the way, I have these.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
But I use these a lot for pre-workout. Yeah, pre-workout, post-workout or on the go. But I need, I have other things in addition than that to that, right? Like I also use like Momentous. I like their chocolate whey protein or the vanilla whey protein. I like that too. You've got to give me that too. It's delicious.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
No, no. It's just what I like about it, they have this third-party tested. Oh, okay. And also I just like the taste of it. I like the ingredient list. I like all of it. But my point is I do both, right? Because I need the satiation of having animal protein as well. But I feel like where shakes come into place a lot of times is when I need to supplement with more protein.

So basically you're saying a big mistake is when you deprive yourself. Yeah. it will end up backfiring because you'll end up eating something different or more or badly later on. That's what I do. That's my big thing. I deprive, I deprive, and then I'll go fucking ape shit on something else. Like, for example, I don't want to eat a lot of sugar, but then I'll eat nine pounds of grapes.

Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, the thing is, not even the grapes, I should have given myself something else. Because what I'm using is I'm using the grapes as my sugar supplement. Yeah, sugar food. I'm craving sugar, so I'm like, oh, I'll just have grapes, which then really kind of brings us back to portion, right? Portions, portion. That's why I always circle right back to portions.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
I think where most people really make that mistake is when they just overeat with that portion. Like I said, it's not so much always just the food. It's the amount. You can gain weight on eating too much healthy food. You know what I mean? And that's what I do, right? Like I'm like, oh, chicken breast is okay. I'll have seven of them. Or, oh, you know, like grapes are okay. I'll have nine pounds.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
So like overeating is overeating. Yeah, you can overeat good food and you can also overeat bad food. The issue with... You have more wiggle room with eating good food. Yeah. But you still have to, it's more wiggle room, but you still have to be careful.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
I don't get why that's even still a controversial topic.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
But that's controversial. There's been times when people are like, what are you talking about? Calories in versus calories out? That's not how it works.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
I'm like, what are you talking about? Of course, that's just how it works. It is how it works because I'm a prime example, right? I exercise like a fanatic. I eat very healthy and But if I'm not watching how many calories I'm inputting into my body versus how many I am outputting, I gain weight.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 424: Liron Kayvan: The Top Nutrition Mistakes to Avoid + Are Seed Oils Bad for You?
Another one I should think is really important too, because again, we talk so much about protein and we are seem to be remiss about fiber. Like me, maybe I'm eating a lot of fiber by eating all these grapes and everything else, or like, or I'm a big vegetable, vegetable and fruit person. But I would say like there's a crazy stat that like I think 90% of Americans are not eating enough fiber.

But where do peptides even come from? I feel like the word peptide has become very popular, very trendy only in the last few years. Like before, like five years ago, I never even heard of a peptide. Most of my friends never heard of a peptide. And then in the last four or five years, there's lots of peptides that people are taking, the BPC-157, the CJC-1290, whatever it is for peptides.

Episode 430: Kris Gethin: Why Squats Are Overrated and How to Lose the Last 5 Pounds
I also find that when you're doing too much cardio, you end up getting so much hungrier. So therefore you're eating more calories, right? Cause you're like when I'm doing, when I run, I get ravenous afterwards and I end up eating double the amount of food that I would have had if I just didn't do any cardio at all. So that's like the delicate balance, right?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 430: Kris Gethin: Why Squats Are Overrated and How to Lose the Last 5 Pounds
Like strength training doesn't make me hungry. It's the cardio that makes you hungry. And that's how, when you're eating too much, like the whole calories in, like you're now I'm consuming calories. so many more because I did this intense cardio session, you know, like how do you delicately balance that?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 430: Kris Gethin: Why Squats Are Overrated and How to Lose the Last 5 Pounds
So you don't end up eating like a monster, but still feel you get that like release of the cardio, like to get that mental, you know, endorphin rush and that, that all those dopamine, like the dopamine hit without like overeating basically.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 430: Kris Gethin: Why Squats Are Overrated and How to Lose the Last 5 Pounds
That's so true. I found that to be a really good hack. Like if when I'm really hungry, like having like some type of like sugar-free soda, like takes the edge off, I guess.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 430: Kris Gethin: Why Squats Are Overrated and How to Lose the Last 5 Pounds
I totally agree with you. I think we eat out of boredom a lot of times or out of thirst. Like if we're thirsty, we think it's hunger. So then we end up eating.

Episode 430: Kris Gethin: Why Squats Are Overrated and How to Lose the Last 5 Pounds
It comes down to when, you know, when you have that like last five pounds, right, to lose. What are some of the best strategies that you would suggest someone to do to lose that last five pounds?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 430: Kris Gethin: Why Squats Are Overrated and How to Lose the Last 5 Pounds
Yeah, of course you do, Chris. I see that. I see that. What would you say is the most overrated exercise and the most underrated exercise?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 430: Kris Gethin: Why Squats Are Overrated and How to Lose the Last 5 Pounds
And I'm glad that you said that. Right. Because, you know, it's really interesting. Nobody will. Nobody usually says that. And, you know, this is why I don't love working out with trainers, because if I'm working out with trainers and they give you a specific exercise, I'll say, like, do this front squat. Right. Say yes. But my body mechanics won't allow me to go as low as they want me to go.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 430: Kris Gethin: Why Squats Are Overrated and How to Lose the Last 5 Pounds
Or it's because my hips are uneven or whatever that my body mechanics, my anatomy is, is why I can't do it. It has nothing to do with the strength I have or whatever it is. And like people don't take that as an okay, efficient, like a sufficient answer, right? They're like, no, no, no, you must go much lower.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 430: Kris Gethin: Why Squats Are Overrated and How to Lose the Last 5 Pounds
But like sometimes the truth is like your body structure does not do that particular exercise well. That could be, that's okay. Like I don't feel we have to kill ourselves just to prove a point.

Habits and Hustle
Episode 430: Kris Gethin: Why Squats Are Overrated and How to Lose the Last 5 Pounds
you know, that's, that's how I feel about hip thrusts. I always feel like it's uncomfortable. It's awkward. It takes a long time to get into the position. And then, you know, people are giving me shit because they're like, how are you not doing a hip thrust? I'm like, I don't like it.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 430: Kris Gethin: Why Squats Are Overrated and How to Lose the Last 5 Pounds
I have other exercises that are giving me a way bigger bang for my buck, but there's all these like absolutes out there. Like you absolutely have to do a hip thrust. You're absolutely have to do a squat. No, you don't. There's so many varieties that if they fit you and suit you better, then you can do them.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 430: Kris Gethin: Why Squats Are Overrated and How to Lose the Last 5 Pounds
But that's why when you said that, I loved it because what most trainers are like, no, no, no, you must do this. There's no way around it. I'm like, that's ridiculous. It cannot be that way.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 430: Kris Gethin: Why Squats Are Overrated and How to Lose the Last 5 Pounds
It's beyond. I agree with you. I agree with you. And it takes literally 10 minutes to get in and out of that position. I could have done 50 other things that would have been way more beneficial in that time frame. You know what I mean? And I never know how my neck should be. I'm always hurting my neck and my... Ankles are not positioned properly. It's like, oh, God.

But the funny thing is like even in 2025, right? And they are giving you healthier options on the plane. They're still not healthy options. They're still not healthy options. And you can get your little snack packs, which is like the nuts and the crackers and this and that. But- To me, the best strategy is don't even think or look at the cart going by. Let it keep on going.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
Don't eat any snacks on that plane. People laugh at me because when I go on a plane, there's more food. I bring more food with me than I do clothing or anything else.

Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
Maybe it is, but yeah, probably.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
Maybe it is, but I will say like, this is strategy and tip number one when you are traveling is never touch the airplane food. Never, ever, ever pack everything in your carry-on. And that's what I do. I pack five. fruits and vegetables and snacks. And I bring everything from home. And like I said, like most of my, most of my, my luggage or my bags are filled with food versus clothing.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
Like I'll be, I'm much happier wearing the same pair of pants every single day and the same.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
Yeah. I'd rather have fresh food or quality food. And because the trouble I have is also that like, I don't know what happens on a plane, but the second I get on a plane, I'm starving. Yeah. Is that what happens with you too? Yeah. Yeah.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
I don't know what, and the second, and then I feel like I'm like stuck on this.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
And that's, I was going to say, because it's like a boredom factor, even though you can watch a show or whatever else, like you have this like knowledge that, okay, I'm going to be on this flight for five hours or four hours and I can't go anywhere. Yeah. What is there to eat? Like you want to like pass the time.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
So like ways to like eliminate that honestly is like, you know, like you kind of like have like this, this thing in your, you reframe it where it's like, I'm not, I'm not touching anything that comes on that cart. I have all my snacks. So there's no excuse for me not to eat that food.

I only have water. Yeah. Because right away, like, I guess the air pressure can make you much more, it changes your body. Yeah.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
Right. So that's why the other thing I think is super important is to keep your routine as much as possible. Like have like your regimen or your routine and try to maintain it as best, I'm not saying perfectly, but as much as possible. But also while you're on the plane,

Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
to do these things and know that like, okay, I'm traveling. These are my hard no's. These are like things that are non-negotiable. I'm not allowed to eat the food on the plane. I have to walk up and down the aisles every hour on the hour and I'm only allowed to drink water.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
That will help you 50%, literally 50% with keeping your goals for your health and your fitness by just doing those three things. The other thing is staying on that routine as much as you can. Whenever I get off of a plane, if I'm going somewhere far, I make myself like move my body for 30 minutes afterwards. I have to like walk around the hotel, go on a treadmill in the gym.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
Every hotel now or wherever you're going has a gym. take advantage of it, like, first thing, I think.

No matter where I am around the world, I try to stay on my routine as best as I can. And I work out every day, no matter what, no matter what the jet lag, no matter what the time difference is. I'm talking also about like business people traveling, like when they don't have, they're not with their family, right?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
It's just, it's really hard to like stay on point if you're somebody who's like a consultant and you're always on a plane.

Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
Yeah. I'm talking about like work travel. I'm not even talking about family. I'm talking about it, by the way, all travel, but a big part of that is like work travel. Like I'm traveling a lot for work. I'm going to different places for consulting gigs or speaking gigs. And like, if you're always on a plane, that's part of your, as an entrepreneur, that's part of your life.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go

A hundred percent. I also think just because there is such a thing, and I think this is a big one, it's the 80-20 rule, right? Like 80% of what you do is your nutrition and 20% is your fitness stuff, right? So you really have to watch what you eat when you're traveling. If you are, if you really want to, you know, maintain or achieve your goals, it's
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
A lot of it is about what you put in your mouth, not what you're doing in the gym. So making better choices. Now the issue is portions. Again, it's always, a lot of it comes down to portions. For whatever reason, psychologically, it's been shown that when we are traveling, we tend to eat way more than we do when we're back in our own regimen at home, right?
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
So if you're conscious of that and conscientious of that, make sure that when you are traveling and That your portions are not crazy, like half the portion at the restaurant you're going to. Or what I do a lot is I go to a grocery store and I buy a bunch of food and I bring it back to my hotel. And so I'm not relying on like restaurant food that also when you...
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
The more you eat at restaurants, the amount of calories that are added just by the sheer cooking, the way they're cooking the food. The oils. The oils and all the added stuff. It adds up so fast. I go to the grocery store and I buy sliced turkey. I buy myself my fruits and my vegetables and things that I know what is in it.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
They're entrepreneurs. They're people who just are on the go a lot. And it's really hard to stick to a program when you're constantly flying. And what really kind of gave me this idea was in the last few months, I've been traveling way more than I have in the past. in the last six months, I should say.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
Does that make sense? Yeah. I love people who know me. I mean, you don't know me that well, but people who know me well know that I'm like, I love the grocery store to me going to Costco or going to like Whole Foods and like walking the aisles is like my like my like happy place. To me, I love it.
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
And so I realize that most people don't love it, but I'm telling you, if you really are serious about, you know, you can't have it both. You can't have it both ways. Like there's always a give and take in the world, right? Like if you want something, you have to like take away something else, right? Like as much as I love to eat, you know, these amazing meals at a restaurant, every single meal,
Habits and Hustle
Episode 422: Liron Kayvan: Healthy Travel Hacks + How to Stay Fit on the Go
I know what the result's going to be. So I don't do it. I make sure that I'm very reticent and cognizant of making my own food as much as possible. With that being said, if someone, again, you may not like the grocery store like I do, but if you actually try to incorporate that into your travel, it will save you so many calories of eating every single meal out at a restaurant.

And also that people don't even realize that like you may think that, oh, you know, I'm not sleeping well, but that's what that you end up eating more because of it. You end up making bad choices because of it. You're not like the ripple effect is so terrible. Yeah. Okay, one more question. And then we're going to like wrap mobility. Let's talk about mobility.

Episode 438: Tara LaFerrara: Why Quitting Alcohol Is Your Secret Weapon for Better Fitness
How important is mobility in comparison to let's say the weight training, the cardio, all these things? Because I think that like, as we get older, our mobility, our flexibility definitely gets worse.

Also, guys, you can Google it. You can Google what a passive squat is. Yeah. And that's really good for your mobility.

How about alcohol and body composition?

How about motivation? When people aren't motivated, how do you motivate people to actually stick to a plan and kind of be consistent with it?

And by the way, I'm wearing this hat not because I don't want to look at you, but I have a terrible rash I got under my eyes and I don't want to look at it. Yeah, so I'm not trying to be rude, guys. That's why I'm covering my eyes, not because I'm hungover, obviously. Yeah. No, she's not because she does not drink. I do not drink. Exactly. Thank you so much again. I appreciate it.

Now, listen, you're preaching to the converted. I don't drink at all. To me, it's the biggest waste of calories ever. I'd rather eat the drink any day of the week. And what it does to your skin and to your body is horrendous. It also ages you 20 years. I mean, people I look at who are like 45 who are drinkers versus not, massive difference.

And it was the third one's senior year, and I was sitting at the Flynn Theater in January, and a woman comes to the podium, and she says, I'd like to announce that in the fall, we'll be doing the musical Annie. I was like, oh my God, this is so weird. And right at that moment, my phone rang, and I pulled it out.
The Moth
The Moth Radio Hour: Rites of Passage
It was my friend from California, and her name was across the screen, and her name was Annie. I was like, God, this is bizarre. And it didn't stop. I went to the grocery store on my way home, and in the checkout aisle, there was this little retrospective of Carol Burnett as Miss Hannigan.
The Moth
The Moth Radio Hour: Rites of Passage
And then, this is all within three hours, I got home and I was exercising and I was watching the show Shameless. And you can check in episode two, season three, they refer to the musical Annie. So I thought, this is just weird. I'm getting these signs from the universe that I should be in this show or something. So I called the kids and I told them and I said, oh mom, you gotta do it.
The Moth
The Moth Radio Hour: Rites of Passage
You gotta do that real audition now. Like, do it, do it. And I thought, like... You know, being in a musical wasn't really my vibe, but I thought, you know, I'm going to be so devastated once that third one leaves that I thought maybe this would give me something fun. And, you know, because I'm pretty sure you can't sing, dance, and cry all at the same time. So I thought it could be fun.
The Moth
The Moth Radio Hour: Rites of Passage
So I go to the audition. And, you know, it's the Flint Theater, and they're, like, you know, kind of serious. Like, you get a number, and you've got to act, you've got to dance, you've got to sing. So I go to the acting part, and that one was okay. And then I go to the dancing part, and this lady's up there, and she's like, Step ball change, fan kick, pivot and repeat.
The Moth
The Moth Radio Hour: Rites of Passage
And I was like, number 212, like, get your arms right. And I'm like, not getting the arms right. And I kind of bump into this lady next to me. She's all mad. It was kind of a disaster. So then I go to the singing part. And you would think that 16 years might be long enough to practice that song. But I got up and was like, little girls, little girls. And I was like, freak.
The Moth
The Moth Radio Hour: Rites of Passage
I didn't know what came next. So I went home, and I called the kids. And I said, you know, thank you so much for that encouragement. But we're going to have to think of something else. Because... And I think those signs from the universe were all about me, like, just pushing myself out of my comfort zone, and I did that, and it was just funny. So, okay.
The Moth
The Moth Radio Hour: Rites of Passage
The next day, the director called and said, we'd like to offer you two small singing roles. I was like, really?
The Moth
The Moth Radio Hour: Rites of Passage
So we started going to the rehearsals, and it worked. You know, I came home from teaching, and the home would be all quiet. It was terribly lonely, and I would cry the dog had even died. It was just horrible. It was terrible. But then in the evenings, I would get to go to my rehearsals, and it was goofy and fun.
The Moth
The Moth Radio Hour: Rites of Passage
So then the months go by, all the rehearsals are done, and it's opening night at the Flynn. It's like full house. It's going to be really fun. The orchestra's going. Got my weird costume on and everything. And there's this point in the play when I get to come to front and center, like right in the middle, and the lights are on me, and I just get to like belt out this one big line.
The Moth
The Moth Radio Hour: Rites of Passage
And I was a homeless woman talking to Herbert Hoover, and here's my line. I said, you dirty rats, you bureaucrats, you made us what we are too. And then I saw him. Three pair of bright blue eyes just watching Annie again. And I thought, oh, all those signs of the universe. They were just all about this one really nice mom moment that I get to have. Seeing my kids again surprised me.
The Moth
The Moth Radio Hour: Rites of Passage
So I got all choked up and filled with tears. But remarkably, I was able to finish my song because apparently you can sing, dance, and cry all at the same time.
The Moth
The Moth Radio Hour: Rites of Passage
So when my kids were little, the go-to movie to watch when they were sick or it was raining was, for some reason, Annie the Musical. And I would watch them sitting close together, three pair of bright blue eyes, watching Carol Burnett sing, little girls, little girls, again and again and again. And I told them, I said, you know, when you grow up
The Moth
The Moth Radio Hour: Rites of Passage
and you go off to college, and I'm all bored and lonely. I think the Flynn Theater should do the musical Annie, and I could be in it because I know all the songs, like every word. And so this kind of bolstered me into this pretend auditioning for the show that I would do for the kids when I was in the car or on the beach or in the shower.
The Moth
The Moth Radio Hour: Rites of Passage
I would sing, little girls, little girls, and they'd say, getting ready for the show, mom? I'd say, yeah. So it's just like a weird family joke. So the years just went by, and the first one went off to college, and that was horrifying. And the second one went off to college, and that was horrendous.
