Chapter 1: What are four critical factors to consider before getting surgery?
because you could be making a huge mistake, consider and listen to these four factors. It'll help you make a better decision. I'll start with the first one. Is there a structural mechanical problem that can't heal on its own? That's a very strong consideration.
Okay, you have to explain that because people don't understand sometimes the difference between like an acute injury versus chronic pain. So describe that because it's such a good topic, by the way. Yes. Because I can't tell you how many clients... that I trained that were recommended surgery when there was things that we could have done first.
Totally. And then there's situations where... You just have to. You have to. Right. And so if you have a structural, mechanical problem that can't heal on its own, that's essentially like... Like you have a torn ACL. It's torn. It's not going to heal back together.
It's not going to reattach itself.
Right. You have a torn pec completely. It's gone. You have a ligament that's severed completely. Your muscle, your supraspinatus is mostly or all torn, and it's just not going to heal on its own. You have to have surgery, right? Your body's not going to grow those ligaments back together. It's not going to fix. It's limited to what it can fix on its own.
And in that case, surgery is absolutely essential. You need external help with that. Yeah, rehab and correctional exercise can only go so far. when it comes to helping a structural, mechanical break, you can definitely rehab yourself with an ACL tear so that you feel better, but you don't have an ACL. So that stability is gone. In fact, I know people like this.
I know people who had a torn ACL or PCL. Mm-hmm. And they never got it fixed because they stopped playing sports. And they could literally sit down and shift their lower leg forward or back. You ever seen that?
Oh, yeah. Yeah, especially you got nothing in there. It just keeps going. There's no kind of limitation to that. But yeah, but then there's the case where it's like it's just strained or it's stretched out. That's different. It was different, which I'm sure we'll get into that.
There's also the case, too, because you didn't mention MCL, because an MCL is less important. I mean, I lost mine and never did anything about it. So it's like certain ligaments and certain things are more necessary than other things. So you could also opt out.

Chapter 2: How can static stretching and Brain.fm improve your mental state?
I think I've heard you bring that up before. I think you've talked about Hong Kong being one of the highest. This is pretty crazy.
The average person in Hong Kong eats 664 grams of meat, which is basically two 10-ounce steaks. Per day? Per day. The average? Wow. Holy crap.
That's a lot. That's really high for average.
Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty crazy.
Where are they getting all this meat?
I don't know. But yeah, pork, chicken, that's largely what their diet is made up of.
And what's their longevity compared to the rest of the world?
Yes. So women, 88.1 years. Wow. And men, 82.5.
And what is that compared to like other countries? I think we're 70, 72. 88 for women? Holy.
