Podcasts about p o

Ce matin c'était la dernière de P-O et Steph lui a préparé vraiment beaucoup de surprises

En ce lundi, on jase grêle dans le Buzz web et également avec Simon Legault d'environnement Canada. En plus on joue à Bats le Boost sur les Olympiques et P-O s'est fait bannir de instagram 

Alex part en vacances ce matin, pas mal de folie dans le show puisque c'est la dernière fois que P-O et Alex animent ensemble. On parle de Marie-Chantal Toupin au Buzz Web, on joue à Bats le Boost, on fait l'unique édition du podcast Parlons Jays et Fred de La Noce est avec nous pour parler du Festival 

Fin mai déjà… Julien a fait un tour dans le (grand) sud-ouest, et préparé la prochaine étape majeure, qui sera en Champagne, avec un nouveau projet de podcasts à la clef ! ======== "Vendredi 28 mai… qui l'aurait cru, je me pose pour écrire cet épisode d'Immerpif. Voici mes valises installées, chez Charlotte et Jérome Bourgeois-Diaz. Nous sommes en Champagne. Je suis posé en extérieur, sous le tilleul. Mon corps me fait ressentir tranquillement les deux semaines déjà passées ici. On avait vu avec Jérome que je vienne quelques temps ici pour l'ébourgeonnage et le palissage. Le rendez-vous avait été fixé pour début mai, puis repoussé d'une semaine, puis d'une autre… L'adaptation à la météo et donc au cycle végétal. Après un début d'année assez chaud, le froid était arrivé et avait bien calmé l'essor végétal. A ce moment-là j'étais précisément en bordelais, j'arrivais chez Pascale et Laurence à la Closerie des Moussis et l'épisode de gel qui allait envelopper la France était annoncé le soir même. Cette sensation étrange, l'accueil chaleureux dans cette ambiance climatique glaçante, les doutes, les choix, les stratégies. Agir ou laisser faire ? Quels moyens humains et financiers déployer ? Toutes ces questions, ces interpellations, ces introspections ! L'étrange sentiment d'être présent sans pouvoir agir. Vouloir aider sans être omniprésent. Offrir ses services pour des actions qui ne sont pas actées, qui ne sont pas décidées. Je vivrais quelques jours après chez Edith et Gabriel Barre les mêmes sentiments, le risque de gel continuant. Mais comment suis-je arrivé là ? Ah oui, à l'époque Olivia l'andalouse m'a déposé chez Magali en Corbières, l'idée est d'être en Champagne en mai. Je vais donc filer tranquillement dans le bordelais, je me donne deux bons mois pour me rendre à l'ouest. Le problème est qu'entre les Corbières, les P-O, L'Aude, et le bordelais il y a du monde, des copains à voir puis tous ces gens à découvrir. Comme une habitude maintenant le mode opératoire est mis en branle. Définir une période par zone, un espace-temps à vivre… « allo, blablabli blablabla… en gros je serais dans ta région à telle période, on se croise ? 1 jour ? 2 nuits ? une semaine ? ok on se rappelle ! » Booker un planning à 60 % et pour le reste, laisser place à l'imprévu, à la rencontre, se laisser porter par les « Ah, tu ne connais pas machin ? Je l'appelle, il faut vraiment que tu passes la voir ! » « Et cette jeune vigneronne tu ne l'as jamais rencontré ? Franchement si tu ne vas pas la voir, tu vas louper un super moment d'humanité. » Alors au gré des plannings, cumuler toutes ces rencontres de la Méditerranée à l'Atlantique. Quelles richesses, je ne vais pas faire d'inventaire ni de liste, mais quelques villages d'irréductibles Calce, La Tour de France, des Coteaux de Montauban, Cahors, le bergeracois, le bordelais. Tous ces profils, tous ses doutes encore et toujours, tous ces succès gustatifs et commerciaux. Franchement quel pied ! Il fait froid, il fait moche, mais quelle chaleur ! Le plaisir aussi d'apporter un peu de diversité dans cette année sans salons, sans trop de rencontres, être un petit lien entre les vigneronnes et vignerons, apporter des nouvelles, des infos. Alors me voilà maintenant revenu en Champagne, ma région familiale. Me re-voici chez Jérome et Charlotte, premier domaine où j'ai fait les vendanges en août dernier.(…)" Retrouvez l'intégralité du texte sur https://www.radiovino.fr/immerpif-episode-16-immerpif-dans-sa-bulle

Well, at least talking about them for what are the last four or five years. Well, Lyft and Uber both had big projects when it came to self-driving cars, and both of them have changed their minds. We're going to talk about that. [00:00:21] Good afternoon, everybody. Craig Peterson, here  I've been out for the last couple of weeks. Sorry.  I've been here on the weekend, and I'm here again today. We're going to talk about a lot of very interesting stuff that's going on. Hopefully, I can explain to you a little bit about the why that helps you understand the how of what's going on.  It's just become so crazy complex. [00:00:48]That also gets into Lyft, this whole self-driving car thing. Uber, you've got every major player kind of in the world getting into this whole game, including, of course, Apple and Google. They both have big projects going on. GM, Ford, and every major manufacturer, Fiat, has an electric car, and of course, they've got aspirations. Hey, by the way, if you really want to cause some problems with Fiat-Chrysler's finances, buy one of their little electric cars, a little E 500. I don't know if you've seen these little Fiats driving around. They're cool little cars, the type of thing you'd expect in a big city or maybe in Europe somewhere. Just these tiny things. Like the smart cars only slightly bigger. Fiat loses $20,000 for every one of these $33,000 little cars you buy. Electric cars. It only goes 87 miles on a charge. That's the killer, right? 87 miles. Are you kidding me? [00:01:52] We'll talk more about this later on because there's some study information out now that talks about people that bought electric cars. How many went back to gas engines, and why? It's interesting when you get into the numbers, the people that are switching back, by the way. Tend to be women more than men, but anyway, so we'll get into that in a few minutes here. [00:02:16] Lyft and Uber, both saw themselves as companies that should be in the self-driving car business. I have learned over the years that you have to focus your business on your business. So what is it? Make your business very narrow don't run after every little opportunity that comes up, don't take every potential customer that comes your way because you probably can't deal with it. It requires a focus, a real focus, in order to be very successful. Otherwise, you can't make your business grow. So because of every customer's different, if everything about the customer's different, you're going to have true experts. [00:03:01] That's the problem I've had over the years because I've always enjoyed a little bit of a change, a little bit of a difference. So, we've helped all kinds of companies from multinationals with their cybersecurity all the way on, down through little guys. [00:03:15] Now, when you think about that, I've been crazy. For all of these years, to quote Paul Simon and my craziness has to do with the fact that they're entirely different beasts. [00:03:26]So, now we're putting together some standardized packages based on what we've been using and selling for more than 20 years now, just to make my life a little bit simpler so, we can handle more clients cause there's more and more them that need it. [00:03:40] So, when we're looking at Uber and Lyft, how does it fit? What is Uber doing? What is Lyft doing? Really? What's the bottom line here. They're getting you from point A to point B. It's really that simple. Isn't it? You want to get to a place. Now, they've added some of these other features like the Uber eats, where you can get Uber to go to a restaurant, pick up a meal, deliver the meal for you. Then you're off and running. That's not bad, but it's still effectively the same business. [00:04:15] When we're talking about autonomous vehicles, it's a completely different business. You're talking about major software development. Lyft looks like it's been spending about a hundred million dollars a year in order to try and develop self-driving cars. [00:04:35] That's expensive. It sure is a lot different than managing people coming from point A to point B. I was out of state. I was down in Florida. Down in Florida, it's difficult to find a Lyft or an Uber driver because so many people are staying home. Why would I bother working when I'm making so much money on unemployment right now? Why would they? [00:05:00]I'm not sure I could particularly blame them for not wanting to work. So Uber and Lyft are now saying, wait a minute. I got go find drivers. I'm going to have people that are going to deliver food that is going to take passengers from point A to point B. That's what they should be focusing on. Isn't it. Making sure the drivers safe. Making sure the passenger safe. I'm not talking about these lockdown-type restrictions. I'm talking about physically safe because we've seen people attacked before. What happens if they're in a car accident? Do we have contact information for the passenger? Do we know they're in a car accident? Can we reasonably get an ambulance there, get treatment, get the police, whatever needs to happen. There's a lot of things you have to worry about—background checks for the drivers. Maybe background checks for the passengers. You've got to collect the money. Maybe you want to put in an override system where people who refer another Lyft driver are going to be able to get a bit of an override on them, make a few extra bucks, make it worth their while to refer driver. [00:06:04]Then you've got all of the streets, the street maps in every city, in every town. How far should you be going as a business like Uber or Lyft? Is your business mapping. Is your business autonomous vehicles? No, of course not. So I think they're smart in getting out of this business, but I want to mention a couple of things about why I think they got in the business in the first place. [00:06:31] GM and Ford probably Chryslers have said that they are thinking the vehicle of the future isn't going to be something you buy. You're not going to go out and buy a car because they're looking at it and saying, let me see, what do you want? I want to get to the train station in the morning, or I want to get to work in the morning, or I might want to have some food delivered to me, or I might want to run to the grocery store. First of all, grocery stores and food delivery can both be done by Uber or Lyft, but getting you from A to B. [00:07:08] They're looking and saying we make the cars, we make the autonomous systems. Why don't we provide vehicles when people need them? So it can take your kid to school in the morning. It can go in five different directions. Cause you're going to have five different cars. Maybe you need five cars this morning cause you've got four kids, and you and your wife and you're all going different places. Here come the cars. They're all scheduled the day before, the week before. However you do it. On Tuesday, all of the cars show up. They take you to where you want to go. That's the business model that the major car manufacturers are looking at. I think it makes a lot of sense. [00:07:51] You don't necessarily need a pickup truck all the time, but I sure need one when I gotta get those sheets of plywood and go here, go there, do things.  Frankly, Home Depot and Lowe's are both looking at it, saying we have rental trucks. Maybe they will have some of these in their fleet. Maybe autonomous, maybe not autonomous, but that's how they're looking at it. They don't think you're going to buy a car. [00:08:15] I don't know if you saw the test Cadillac did down in New York City, of course, this was before the lockdown as well.  Cadillac had put together this plan, where for now, what was it? $1,500 a month. I think give or take. You could drive a brand new Cadillac, and you'd have that Cadillac for a month. You could, of course keep it for longer, or you could just pay them more. But the idea was why Cadillac buy? Why even go through all of the trouble leasing. Effectively, what you're doing is renting it like you might rent a car from Hertz. [00:08:51]In the future, they don't even think you're going to do that. It's Hey, I want a black car to pick me up from one, two, three wall street and take me to park Avenue, that I think makes a lot of sense. [00:09:03] So Uber and Lyft are both looking at this plan and saying, Whoa, Wait a minute here. What's going to happen when GM and Ford both decide that they are actually in the getting people from point A to point B business. Now, they are stepping on Lyft and Uber's toes in a very big way. I think that's why they decided to get into the autonomous vehicle business. Both of them have gotten. Out of it now. [00:09:37] Lyft sold as a self-driving division to a subsidiary of Toyota called Woven Planet for half a billion dollars. Part of the reason for that, I'm sure, is it takes a lot of money to compete in the self-driving area. [00:09:53]Frankly, if Uber and Lyft can really focus on their core business, not mess around with all this other stuff. They might be able to beat GM Ford, Chrysler, et cetera at this game. [00:10:07] Uber, who was Lyft's main competitor, sold its self-driving business to a startup called Aurora back in December last year. Both of them had been working on these projects for four or five, six years; obviously things are going to change. [00:10:28] The self-driving vehicles are going to be on the roads starting next year. Ish. Ford's made some announcements, so has GM. We'll see ultimately what happens. Waymo, which is Google, of course, alphabet has a small taxi service in the Phoenix area. Nobody else is operating full driverless taxi services in the US yet. [00:10:54]Congratulations to Lyft and Uber for getting out of the self-driving business that not their business. [00:11:01] We see that more and more ransomware, not only is it way up but some police departments have gotten hit with it. [00:11:09] So, we'll tell you what's happening there. You're listening to Craig Peterson. It has been going up and up and hurting more and more people. In this case, we're going to talk about a police department. There's a briefing that the Boston field office of the FBI's giving on ransomware. If you are an infra guard member, FBI Infragard, I ran their training for a couple of years. [00:11:34] They've got another training. Coming up on ransomware and what's been happening out of the Boston field office, which covers all of New England. And I discovered and disclosed a huge hack. And it was the biggest one that the Boston field office said that they'd seen it. It was just absolutely incredible. [00:11:57] What had happened and businesses are just not. Paying attention. They're not paying attention; it isn't just businesses. It's also municipalities. It's counties, its state government, and it's the federal government of all of those. I got to say the federal government is trying the hardest, I think, to pay attention to the problem besides cybersecurity; of course, they take more money from us. [00:12:22] So they and Lee should have a better budget to do it with right. But there's a great little article this week in the newsletter. We usually get that on hold on Sunday morning, but this is by Dan Gordon. Over at ARS Technica. They will always have some great stuff, but some ransomware, bad guys have sand What they're calling stunning ultimatum to Washington. [00:12:50] DC's Metro Politan police department. The police department that handled the massive insurrection on January 6th. He said with his tongue firmly in his cheek, the guys that really know what they're doing down there, Washington DC. Ah, boy. So here's the ultimatum. Pay these ransomware guys $50 million, or they'll leak the identities of confidential informants to street gangs though, this group is called Bulk Locker, at least that's what they call themselves. [00:13:29] And they said on Monday that it had obtained 250 gigabytes worth of sensitive data after hacking. The metropolitan police department. Yeah, Washington DCS, metropolitan police department network. And this Babych site over on the dark web. When you go, there has dozens of images of what appeared to be legitimate, sensitive MPD. [00:13:58] Documents now these have been slightly blocked out so that people don't know what's going on. Exactly. So they've been It's anonymized. Let me put it that way, but it looks like these legit. I'm looking at some of them right now on the ARS Technica site. One screenshot shows a windows directory called disciplinary files. [00:14:24] Each of the 28 files shown lists a name and a check of four of the name shows. They all belong to Washington DC, metropolitan police department, officer's disciplinary actions, and looking at the dates on these files, they are from, they've all been modified anyways, within less well about the last year. [00:14:50] Give or take a little bit less. So that was just the first page of them, by the way. It looks like kids, the officers whose names start with a through E and a few apps, other images that are on, again, this Babych ransomware group's website on the dark web seemed to show persons of interests, names, and photos. [00:15:16] So they, these bad guys put up a screenshot of a folder named gang database, another chief's report lists of arrest and a document listing the name and address of at least one confidential informant. So it's got the date. It was entered, closed. The persons name, position, sex raised. Date of birth, social security number, mailing address, email phone number. [00:15:46] Yeah, the informant. Okay. So they said we advise now there's spelling errors in this. There are grammatical errors in this, which is expected. We advise you to contact us as soon as possible to prevent leakage. This is again on their dark web website. Quote, if no response is received within three days, we will start to contact gangs in order to drain the informant. [00:16:16] In other words, still let the gangs know who the squealers are. Her the informant within the gangs. Now this is classic. This next one. Just absolutely classic Washington. DC's. Public. This is again, metropolitan police departments, public information. Officer Hugh Carreyrou wrote in an email. We are aware of unauthorized access on our server while we determine the full impact and continue to review activity. [00:16:51] We have engaged the FBI to fully investigate this matter. So he didn't answer specific questions about what details, but here's the classic part of this. I bet you dollars per four donuts that they don't have the proper security in place. If you are a city or a County, you have rules which are called CJIS, which is the criminal justice. [00:17:18] I think information system rules for your securing. Of data and it has to do with the networks, how were they cannot be connected and can only be connected in certain ways and what you have to do. And you have to included in all of this log, everything. What do you want to bet they didn't log everything. [00:17:40] So they're calling in the FBI and we've done that too. We've done that when, again, we're not mandated reporters. If we see something suspicious, we call up the client, whether it's a city, a County, a state, a business, a DOD contractor or dentist's office. And we say, we found an indication or multiple usually indications of compromise, which means. [00:18:04] These things make it look like someone got into your systems. We then say this is not what we do here. This is a law enforcement issue, and we think that you should bring in the FBI and then they can talk to the FBI. We can work with the FBI to really figure things out. So the FBI can do the forensic work and make sure they capture everything needed to capture and how needed to be captured, et cetera, et cetera. [00:18:31]It's amazing. What's happening. But they are looking into this. I'm sure the FBI is involved most recently when we've had. Reports where we brought in law enforcement. We worked directly with the FBI, with their data security information, security team, James, and it's just amazing. People were not maintaining good cyber hygiene in this case, Washington DC, metropolitan police department. [00:19:03] Almost certainly. Was hacked by these hackers. They admit the MPD that they, something happened. I bet you, they don't know what happened. They probably broke these CJIS rules that every city, state and town and County has to comply with. It's absolutely amazing. And of course you remember now they've got this dual revenue model when it comes to ransomware. [00:19:32] Pay up now or pay up later, we will extort money from you either way. It's a, it's amazing. Amazing. Apparently this is a Russian group who knows who exactly it is. It's sponsored by the Russian government or not. We really don't know. [00:19:50]Cloud is a sensitive topic with me and it always has been it's hold, it holds a lot. Of promise. And the biggest promise to most businesses was, Hey, use cloud services, it'll save you money. And of course they have used cloud services and in some cases it's saved the money, frankly. [00:20:14] It's rare that it saves them money. It really depends on a lot of things, but if you using a service like Amazon's cloud services, and I'm speaking in generalities here, but it's probably going to cost you more than running your own server. Why do a lot of companies use cloud services? When it comes to general computing. [00:20:35] Now I understand. Why would you use Microsoft's? What does calls Microsoft three 60? It's because Microsoft is going to maintain it. They're going to patch it. I don't have to run a server. I don't have to worry about any of that stuff. Okay. I get that one. How about salesforce.com? I don't use Salesforce. [00:20:54] I use an alternative, but I can see why you'd want to use that. Unfortunately. In both cases, those services have been hacked and the company's data has been stolen. And you got to remember too, that you still bear responsibility for that lost or stolen data, even though you didn't lose or steal it. So keep that in mind, if you are a business now, when you are moving on to what are called containers, the whole world shifts. [00:21:25] Here's what's happening and been happening in computers over the last few years. There's something called containers. When I first heard about containers. I was thinking about these data centers that they put into shipping containers. And so you get a 20 foot or 40 foot shipping container, and all you do is plug in power and internet, and it's often running. [00:21:50] It has racks of computers inside that has all the cooling systems, all the power regulation systems, like while UPS's et cetera, it's got that fans in there to keep the air moving. It's got the tape drives to do the backups, all of this stuff. It's right there. So I that's how I always thought of containers. [00:22:11] That's not the case so much anymore. Those containers still exist. Some of them are used by Microsoft and Amazon still they'll throw containers into different areas, depending on usage. For instance, with the Olympics coming up, you can bet that there will be shipping containers. With huge data centers in them in order to record all of the video and move it around the world, broadcast it, et cetera, that's going to happen. [00:22:41] There's another type of container. And this container has changed the way a lot of businesses do computing. It is just absolutely an amazing technology for someone that's been in this business. Now, since the mid seventies, I got to tell you, this is something that just really came to me out of a little bit out of the left. [00:23:05] Field, because I'd been working with virtual machines since the seventies IBM has had VMs for what, 50 years now that it's not new that concept, but there's something called Kubernetes that is used in the container world. In the idea here. Is rather than having a big machine and that machine has its own operating system. [00:23:30] And on top of that, you're running multiple programs. We've moved into more of a virtual world. So now even Microsoft has gotten into this game instead of having a Microsoft. Server and people trying to run everything on that one server, which Microsoft advises you not to do. If you have an active directory server, it should only be running active directory. [00:23:55] Nothing else. If you have an exchange server, it should only. Be running exchange and nothing else. And the same, thing's true for the other major Microsoft servers. But what a lot of companies have done is they have one piece of hardware. And on that, they've got the one Microsoft server operating system. [00:24:16] And inside that the running exchange and active directory and who knows what else? A whole bunch of other stuff, right? People put QuickBooks on these things, et cetera. Now, nowadays you can get. A virtual machine infrastructure. And this is what we've been using with our clients for 20 years now, more maybe, and there, of course it's advanced over the years. [00:24:42] Now we use a virtual machine infrastructure called VMware. That's absolutely fantastic. Believe me. We've used them. All, and this is what we've settled on for our client, but the idea here is, okay, you buy one piece of hardware and that piece of hardware has a lot of memory, a lot of disc IO available. And you put on the very bottom of this, right on the machine, you run a virtual machine controller, basically. [00:25:10] So something like VMware and then that VMware can run multiple operating systems simultaneously. So on that one piece of hardware, you could be running an exchange server, a whole thing. So you've got Microsoft server running and then on top of that, you've got exchange and then you have another. [00:25:29] Microsoft server running. And on top of that, you have active directory and then you have another Microsoft server and you have something else around top of that one. And maybe you have a Linux server with something else on it. And another Linux server was something else on it. And with VMware, you can also set up virtual networks inside this machine. [00:25:47] It's just absolutely incredible. So that's something I think most people understand. And if you're an it professional, you've probably worked with that before. Coobernetti's. Brings it to an entirely different level. And what's happening here. Is that again, we're using a virtual machine infrastructure, but the idea is each one of these machines, instead of running this huge Microsoft server software. [00:26:17] So you got server version, whatever. And that server is software from Microsoft is using up a ton of resources because it's Microsoft and it's not very efficient. And might be causing you some headaches and some problems. There's all kinds of things we could talk about here, but the incentive doing all of that, maybe what you want is a web server. [00:26:40] And maybe you want to tie the web server into some sort of a database. And that database is taking information from your front-end ordering system, which could be, who knows what, again, it could be a API to salesforce.com. It could be something else that you're using. You, again, name it. There's so many business management systems that could be tied into a lot of ERP stuff, et cetera. [00:27:06] So instead of having running a big pig line, Microsoft exchange or Microsoft server, and then exchange on top of it or heaven forbid, you're running a Microsoft, a web server, which is in incredibly I would never do that personally. But you want to run a patch, et cetera. What you do is you use Kubernetes and it creates a small machine that does one thing and does one thing. [00:27:34]And it's well tuned to do that one thing. And then you can tie these together. So on one machine, you can even do this on a workstation on that one workstation, you could have 20, 30, 40 machines, right? Each one of which is dedicated to one task. So one might be doing the web service and another one might be handling your database. [00:27:57] Another one might be handling the API calls and it's all pushing data back and forth whole new world. Unfortunately there are security problems. So if you are using this stuff, make sure you spend some time considering the security, because Kubernetes is entirely API driven, which means application programming interface. [00:28:19]I keep an eye open for that. Use a virtual private cloud instead of on the open internet. [00:28:24]If you have a laptop and you've probably noticed a few things, first of all, that battery life. [00:28:31] Okay. It's not like it was when it was new, his head, somehow those batteries do wear down. It's much better than it used to be. The nightcap ads and the nickel metal hydride ads. And now we've got various types of lithium batteries based on a few different technologies. There's going to be more stuff coming out. [00:28:53] And I had a laptop, it was an Apple laptop, a Mac book pro. And on the bottom of it, it had four little legs, just little ones, a little rubber things. So it's a standoff. And one day I noticed that my laptop was teetering. Balanced in the middle. And I had a bit of a closer look and I could tell, wait a minute, and how this laptop is swollen in the middle. [00:29:17] Now I knew exactly what had happened that battery inside had gone bad. So number one, I've got a one you guys with a lithium ion battery, if it starts to swell, and this is true for most batteries, but it's. Particularly nasty with lithium ion. If that battery begins to swell, what can end up happening is it will short itself out internally. [00:29:48] Have you ever had that happen? You might be working on a car and you're right there and buy the battery and you put a wrench across the terminal somehow or between the starter. Hot side on the cars engine and the block, and, off it goes, there's a lot of power in that car battery, and there is a lot of power in these lithium-ion batteries. [00:30:11] They make these hacks now that you can use to jumpstart cars, even small trucks with a little lithium-ion pack. So what happens is. As the swell up in your laptop or your phone, et cetera, we've seen this problem with every manufacturer of cell phones. As they start to swell up, they can and do short out. [00:30:36] So think about how much power is in that battery, even an older battery, because it can provide your laptop with as much power as it needs. Four hours. And if you're lucky enough to have a brand new laptop with one of these great Apple chips in them that uses very little power, man, you can go better than a day on one charge easily. [00:31:02] Unless you're like doing heavy graphics, et cetera, et cetera, but that's always been true. So I took my Mac book in and they replaced the battery, no charge. It was still under AppleCare, which I suggest people get. It's just makes life easy. You can always get the support you need and they'll fix things, replace them. [00:31:23]That's the first step I had to mention that right out of the shoot, because it is very common with laptops to have that happen. I even had it happen with my little what's it called a little, my fi device, which hooks up. To the cell phone data network and then provides wifi to my laptop or other devices. [00:31:46] And I noticed the battery pack compartment cover was swollen. So I took it off and sure enough, the battery was swollen. I just ordered a new one and. Properly disposed of the old lithium-ion battery. Cause again, it can cause fires right now. I think there's a recall out on some of those mi-fi devices because of the battery. [00:32:09] So that's a serious problem. You can start your laptop on fire or you phone could start on fire with any of these newer devices. If it starts to swell, if it warps the case warps, then it's not because you're sitting on it. You can indeed cause of fire so we can have, and if you are sitting on it, you might cause of fire because if you bend that battery in the wrong place, you're in trouble. [00:32:32] There was an episode of MythBusters where they took a lithium-ion battery. And they put it in a trash truck. Now they made this a worst case scenario. They actually built a wedge into the back of the trash truck that compresses all of the trash. It's got that big hydraulic Jack and pulls it and compresses it. [00:32:53] So they put the battery with this wedge right in the center of the battery so that when the truck compressed it. The battery would get bent. So they bent that battery. Fair enough. The whole trash truck caught on fire, and we've seen that happen in the real world, too, where the whole trash talk truck catches on fire and it can be caused by lithium-ion battery. [00:33:16] So be very careful with them and be careful of how you dispose of them. So let's get into some. Other things that you probably want to pay some attention to. First of all, there are a couple of programs you might want to have. Look at first off is Microsoft safety scanner, and they've got a. Page online, you can find it out@docs.microsoft.com. [00:33:45] As in documents, docs.microsoft.com. It's called Microsoft safety scan, or they have a 32 bit version on a 64 bit version, depending on which version of windows you have, what you're running, but it goes all the way back to windows seven. It handles the windows servers versions, and all you have to do is download it and open it. [00:34:09] Tell it, what kind of scan you want to have run and it will go. It has just the one executable file that you can delete if you want to. It writes out its own little log file that you can look at. So that's the things you might want to look at. Microsoft safety. Scanner. And you can find that a docs doc s.microsoft.com. [00:34:32] The next thing you might want to look at, either on a Mac or on a PC windows is Malwarebytes. And I've used this many times. Neither one of these by the way, is a panacea. Neither one of these is going to find everything or fix any everything. But malware bikes is. Quite good. And it's something you should consider. [00:34:56] Now we have packages of software. We do not include Malwarebytes because we have some better stuff, but it's a very quick and easy way to do a light scan. Very fast and you can do a few things. So that's the first thing you might, I want to look at. If your computer is sluggish and unresponsive, it's slowing down, it doesn't necessarily mean it's old. [00:35:22] It might mean you have too much software that you've installed on it. So check your system. To see what is running on it and see if the stuff in the background, see if the stuff that you might want to remove, but it could also be a sign that a hacker has broken into your machine. And they're doing things like mining for crypto currency or using your machine as a launch pad for attacks against other people. [00:35:51] Okay. So start with a thorough malware scan again on windows. They do have a pretty good little program that you can use that comes with windows, but first off, open the task manager. So you get that by clicking. Right down in the bottom left and the task bar and just type task manager, run it. See what happens, Mac Oh, S you're going to search for it with spotlight and it's called the activity monitor and you'll see all of these active programs next up. [00:36:23] Persistent error messages. And this is something you can find over at popular science, this little article, obviously I'm adding my own little tips as we go through, but you might find it interesting in you'll also find it in this week's newsletter. That'll come out tomorrow. So make sure in order to get the newsletter, you sign up at Craig peterson.com/subscribe. [00:36:45] So you'll get a link to this article that goes through all of these things. Computers, they often get error messages. Some of them are really hard to figure out. Many of them are just related to one program and the that's usually pretty easy just remove or uninstalled that program. And re-install it again. [00:37:07] Some of these error messages are hard to figure out you can go and search for them. Now, I do not recommend Google for most searches, but and I use duck go, but what you might want to do here is use Google type in the exact error message that you're getting and see if they've got a result now. [00:37:30] Macko Wes. Aye. Aye. Aye, man. It's so rare that you have to re-install Mac last, but you might have to, but windows, the default is Hey or back up and re-install okay. That should fix most of the error messages right there. Cause windows is a mess. If you've got pop-ups on your screen asking, let's say to make changes to settings, make changes for things. [00:37:57] Be careful. These different types of infections can disable features. They might change your homepage on your browser reset your default search engine. I got an email from a listener this week, talking about that, and it just keeps to keep getting reset back to Google. Tumbled check your extensions in your browser. [00:38:18] It might just be the browser itself can also be viruses can also be a hack, but roll back the changes, any changes that you've made, puts your browsers homepage back to the original one. Make sure you run again. The built-in tools. They're on windows. Web pop-ups same type of thing. Find a list of browser extensions you've installed. [00:38:45] So if you're using Chrome, they sit under the more tools entry, have a look at those. See if there's any that it re recommends that you remove and then do it, or just go ahead and remove them all and see if your pop-up problem goes away. There's also the problem of strange noises. And this can be a problem that only the owner of the computer really notices because you're used to what the computer should sound like. [00:39:16] If you start getting strange noises, have a checked out right away because those noises could be a fan and that fan could be keeping your central processing unit. Cool. And if that CPU fan. Goes, you could have a very expensive repair on your hand. So keep an eye out. It could be your hard desk. It could be a fan. [00:39:40] There's a few different moving components in, but keep an ear out for those types of sounds that you're not used to hearing from your computer. [00:39:51]Ransomware has been a huge problem for years now. [00:39:56] And of course now we've got the whole double whammy where if you don't pay the ransom, then they come after you threatening to release your data. Just like what happened with that police department? I was talking about in the last hour. We've seen according to some statistics I've been reading, including some FBI stuff about a 300% increase in ransomware in just the last year. [00:40:24] And we have. Also seen a doubling of how much it costs. If you do get hit with ransomware. Now, this is a pretty big deal. And of course these are big numbers and the doubling in cost has nothing to do with inflation. Okay, guys, this is not the sign of inflation. But it is driving up. The value of Bitcoin is people are fleeing to it concerned about the dollar and other currencies. [00:40:53] We now have a tripling of ransomware payments and ransomware payments are almost always made in Bitcoin. What does it do when you have a scarce, commodity and money chasing it while the value, the price of something goes up. And so just like it, wasn't near the beginning. Ransomware has really been driving the price of Bitcoin. [00:41:19] I'm not going to say value just because I'm not sure it's value that we're really talking about here, but certainly the price. According to Sofos the. Average total cost to recover from a ransomware attack has more than doubled. Now this is what we're talking about here, businesses. So over the last year, it was on average, about $760,000 for a business to recover from ransomware. [00:41:48] Now, Nancy, if you could afford the $760,000 loss and we'll get into what. Numbers compose. You add them all up to get that $760,000. But if you are a small enough business that's not something you can even consider doing, odds are good. You will be out of business within months and most smaller businesses just close their door within a week of getting ransomware. [00:42:19] It's really that bad because there's a lot involved. So last year, about a year ago, it was $761,106 on average. Okay. So now the average cost total for recovering from a ransomware attack is about $1.85 million. Now we're talking about the total cost of recovery. We're not talking about the ransom paid right now on average is about $170,000. [00:42:56] Again. Can you afford a $170,000 payout? I would say of the small businesses in the world, basically under 20 employees. The answer to that is probably not, but wait, there's more. All right. This is from, Sofo says new survey, the state of ransom 2021, apparently only 8% of organizations managed to get back all of their data. [00:43:28] After paying a ransom 8%, about five years ago, it was about 50% of organizations that got ransomware. Got, got it back. But now. 8%, only 8% managed to get all the data back. Now that's going to cover not just businesses, but that's going to cover you as an individual as well. If you're a small dentist office, this is going to nail you. [00:43:52] And I got to say, just having a backup.  Most cases is not good enough because of the double whammy, but also because of the fact that most businesses are not doing backups properly. And we could talk about that. I'm going to include that in one of the courses coming up about backups, a three, two, one method, and the best ways to make sure you do have a good backup. [00:44:18] So 8% got all of their data back after paying the ransom and 29% received no more than half of their data. So it has gotten a lot worse. So these were 5,400. It. Decision makers in the information technology, business mid-size organizations, hence the amount of money involved or right. All the way across Europe, the America is everywhere really worldwide. [00:44:50] And it found also that the number of organizations that experienced a ransomware attack fell. Now that was interesting at one from 51% of organizations that had knitted in 2020 that they had a ransomware attack. And I added the word admitted in there, right? That wasn't in the original survey results, but admitted because I know most businesses don't admit it and they say it fell from 51% of these organizations had a ransomware attack in 20, 20 and 37% in 2021. [00:45:28] And few organizations suffered data encryption because of a significant attack. Now that's interesting because interesting when we're talking about significant attacks versus non-significant attacks, do you draw the line? But this Sofo study was focused on the moment, significant attack. [00:45:49] These various organizations had. So folks researchers are saying that the impact of a ransomware attack is now more damaging and costly, even though there is a decline in overall attacks. We've talked about that before here on the show where we mentioned quite clearly that the ransomware guys are getting more laser focused on their targets. [00:46:17] They're going after mostly targets with money. Now, there's still those ransomware people out there that are just opportunist. So you made the mistake of downloading some software of installing something and they just took advantage of you. So that's still going to be happening, but. When we're talking about bigger organizations, when we're talking about government agencies, County offices, city offices, and look at what's happened to Atlanta. [00:46:43] What three times now, I think they've been knocked off the air with ransomware, Washington DC. In the last hour, we were just talking about their metropolitan police department. They're attacking these organizations that can't afford to pay, and they know that they can pay. And if they don't, then they hold it over their heads. [00:47:05] So I've got this article in this week's newsletter comes out Sunday morning, usually. And it depends on when Karen and I can get it all together. So apologize for the last couple of weeks. Cause I was off at a retreat and just really couldn't handle any of that stuff. But. It really is an increase in these complex targeted attacks much higher. [00:47:31] And you'll find this article as well as all of the others. Of course, in my newsletter. If you don't get the newsletter right now, make sure you just take a minute and sign up because there's information for you as an employee in a business for you as a business owner, there's information in there for. [00:47:49] Home users as well, because almost everything we talk about when it comes to businesses also applies to home users. Now I'm going to be doing something different in the weeks to come. I'm hoping to start this next week. We'll see how the week kind of fleshes out. But the idea for this next week is I am going to start doing real releasing soon, but putting together the short training segments. [00:48:18] And each one of them is going to be on a very narrow topic because most people, they want five to seven minutes worth of content. So I'm going to get very narrow. So for instance, if we're talking about backups, I'm going to get really narrow on one part of backups and I'm going to post them everywhere because we've got to get more people following the podcast. [00:48:42] I am also, you might've noticed. Putting the podcast together as a one hour, we'll access closer to about 80 minutes podcast every week. And it is going up on my YouTube channel. So you'll find it on YouTube. You'll find it on my Facebook page. I have a Craig Peterson group over there on Facebook. I'm also putting up on LinkedIn. [00:49:04] It's going in my Craig Peters on Twitter channel. It's going up all over the place. And the idea here is to help you guys understand things better. This is for everyone and everyone, then I'm going to start doing something else as well. And that is all of these little. Classes, I guess you might call them that I've been holding. [00:49:28] And really, I haven't done anything since March of last year for some of these classes. I've done courses, trainings, but these classes, what I want to do for you guys is if you're online email list, I'll tell you what the next class is about. So for instance, backups, I'd say, and then if you give me a great question, something. [00:49:51] That you want to learn about backups, then I'm going to give you access to that class for absolutely nothing. All right. So I'll use your questions to help put it together. So I'm coming from the right angle. I will then record it. I'm going to put it up on my navigating cybersecurity website for you guys. [00:50:12] I'll send you a link to it and you can, at that time, Point watch it, which is really cool. So you'll have access to that class for a few weeks, couple of weeks. I'm not sure how we're going to work that out yet, but yeah. [00:50:26]One of the big pieces of news that's been out there lately has been the migration away from Intel. We've seen. Our friends at Microsoft move away from Intel with some of their surface tablets. And for years they've been having various versions of windows that run on non-Intel hardware. I helped to way back in the day. [00:50:51] Get windows running on a DEC alpha chip. You might, if you're a total geek, you might remember that. And I was in the team that was working on some of the kernel stuff for it. And what we ended up with is a 64 bit very fast chip that deck had created. And I think. That Oracle ended up with some of that technology and then they also bought sun for some of their hard work technology. [00:51:20] But anyhow, it was an incredibly fast chip. I have one, if you look closely on, in my background on the videos, you might see it sitting on when one of the little cubbies behind me, one of these little outfit, chips, they were just absolutely amazing. Great job. Anyhow, DEC digital equipment corporation is no more. [00:51:42] However, some of the technology that I worked on back then, some of these, what we call risk architectures, where I worked on the kernel, various types of Unix kernels back then. B, this is before Linux. Even these chip sets were designed to be inexpensive, to manufacture and very fast and very easy to use and integrate as well from a hardware standpoint. [00:52:09] And when Apple came out with its iPhone, they of course used a non-Intel chip for the main processor. And it's a, an Apple chip quote, unquote, based on one of these more or less generic designed. So Apple licensed the core design of the chip and was able to take it and continually improve it. Apple has now released various devices. [00:52:38] There's an iMac, which they, these things are so cool that you can't buy the latest ones. You all, you might be able to about time you're listening, but they're all different colors. It's a flash back to the old days before Johnny Ives took over in some of the hardware designs, but they've got the new IMAX. [00:52:57] They've got the Mac box. They have a Mac mini like I have right in front of me right here. It is based on apples am one chip and it is a screamer. It is very fast. And it's, I think it was about 100 bucks, maybe a little bit less then the Intel box. So you can get a Mac mini Intel for a hundred and change dollars more than an Apple based chip set. [00:53:29] And it's faster, which is just amazing. So it has the main chorusy beause. It has also of course, a GPU's that are built into it. It's very neat. Apparently this Japanese publication called the Nikkei claims that the next generation of Apple's custom designed silicone chips for Mac that are dubbed the M two. [00:53:53] Entered production this month and how that is fast. They barely released the . So what that might suggest is the new max could be announced at Apple's developer conference on. June seven, at least that's when that conference start. And the sources are saying that this new chip will eventually be used in other Macs and Apple products, besides the Mac books, that M one is also destined to end up in various types of eye pads, et cetera. [00:54:26] And it's bringing more and more rumors to the front. Then the, I F our iOS apps will run natively on all of these Macs and vice versa. You can run Mac software on the iPad. You can't do all of this yet. Okay. But some of it is almost certainly going to be coming. Now, I had a conversation. With an Intel exec. [00:54:54] This was a number of years ago and I was teasing her because she worked for Intel. And she was all puffing up about how great Intel was. And I pointed out, Hey, I remember the early days in Intel, Intel was a memory company. And if it hadn't been for IBM looking for cheap, not particularly good processor, Intel probably wouldn't be where they are. [00:55:19] Today. Oh, certainly they wouldn't be. And I also pointed out how Intel was now AMD compatible MD of course, advanced micro devices and historically AMD and other chip makers made sure their chips were completely compatible with the Intel chip sets. But what we ha, what we ended up with is Intel lagging behind on 64 bit technology. [00:55:48] And because of that AMD one up them AMD came up with some really great 64 bit extensions to this Intel instruction set and. Intel came out with AMT compatible instructions. I thought that was just hilarious. And she was pretty happy about it, but she admitted. Yeah, you're right. Now we've got a very interesting problem. [00:56:16] We've had China growing its presence in the South China sea, the South China sea is not part of China. There are various countries, the border that are in it, et cetera. And China has been building islands in the South China sea. So they can then claim up 200 mile territorial limit around those islands as well. [00:56:43] They want control of it, but I can tell you what they're really after. And this is what's very scary. And there have been a lot of military analysis, people who have been looking at this and trying to decide what to do, and that is Taiwan. Taiwan is according to mainland China. And of course the communist party of China, which is more fascist than communists, socialist party in China it is a part of China. [00:57:12] And it's just one of these, you have a state that kind of rebels. And so they're going to pull them back in and they've been flying over. China has been flying over time when these air space to make their point. Unfortunately, I don't know how this government's going to respond, that the current administration has been challenged, left, and center by some of these more major powers around the world. And the president Trump was hardly challenged at all. And I think that says something, but here's why they really want Taiwan. It's the technology. And China's had a very hard time with trying to get their chip fabs. In other words, these fabrication plants that make the silicone that make the chips that we use in our devices. [00:58:05] We have some ability to do it still here in the U S but not much. And the goal then. W, what do you want to call it? The centerpiece the prize of right now of all manufacturing is five nanometre design. You might have heard of that before Intel is having troubles with some of this, but it's incredible. [00:58:27] And Apple's doing a good job with it. While Taiwan semiconductor manufacturing provides. This five nanometre design technology for making chips to Apple and many others. So if China can get its hands on Taiwan, which are really wants, they are going to be able to manufacture. Chips that we don't want them to have and have a real leg up. [00:58:56] So man, we may get into a Kinnetic war over Taiwan. And now, you know why, Hey, if you're not on my email list, make sure you get on that newsletter right away. [00:59:08]Emotet is a huge problem. At least. It was a huge problem. It turns out that this bot was able to harvest 4.3 million email addresses. Now that's not a ton of email addresses in today's language because there are billions of email addresses floating around there in the dark web. [00:59:34] But Emotet was used. As a basis for ransomware and spreading ransomware. And it was really nasty stuff. AML tech would get onto your machine. And once it was on the machine, it would start trying to brute force, crack your passwords on your machine. It would try and spread to other machines on your network. [00:59:57] So in a. Business, of course, that means all of the other machines in the business might well get attacked by maybe even compromised by a motet. Same thing is true in your home and the machines that you had at home you're using for the office while they could get cross infected from your kid's machine and all your kid had to do, or you had to do is open a piece of email because amyloid pet also distributed the ransomware via. [01:00:27] Email fishing. It was sending malware field spam to all of the email addresses. They could get their hands on. This is what your all Paul said was the world most dangerous bot met and been plaguing. The internet, as I mentioned is 2014. A bot net is where someone typically a bad guy has taken control of a number of computers. [01:00:57] So they took control of your your home computer, right? Some windows, computer, whatever it might be. And now they installed a command and control system on it so that they could command your computer to do things for them. Nowadays, you might see botnets being used to mine cryptocurrency. So your machine gets really slow. [01:01:21] Like I mentioned, in the first time or today about problems you might be having with your laptop, much the same applies guys to your mobile devices, to your smartphones as well. And particularly the Android has been hit very hard by some of this stuff. Again, Apple's able to keep up on it and we've discussed this enough times in the past. [01:01:41] But what's happened here now is they have been able to stop it. Yeah. In January, this year, law enforcement in the Netherlands was able to take control of  key domains. Again, ammo tat is a bot net among other things. And as a bot net, it had command and control. So it has servers. So it needed to contact the servers to see what to do. [01:02:12] Hey, do you want me to send email? Who do you want me to send it to? Oh, here's this stuff that I've discovered on this machine. And it sends it all to those servers. So the Netherlands were able to get them. And Germany's federal police agency, the BK, a did some very clever reverse engineering. They looked at the emo type software. [01:02:35] And they found some interesting things. One of them by the way, was that there was an uninstaller routine built right into AMETEK, which kind of surprised me and many other people, but the German please went through and looked at it thoroughly. If a machine had ammo tat on it, how could we get rid of it now that we have control of the command and control servers? [01:03:05] So they found this remove routine and that this command that was built into it. And they also found that. Ammo Ted software could self update. I wish most programs would do a self update. Nowadays you see some of the Microsoft software or we'll go ahead and update itself. Firefox does that Google opera? [01:03:30] Most of the, all of the chromium based browsers will say update, but this is malware that would self update. Okay. They found that since they had control of the command and control servers, and because Emotet could self update, they made a version of Emotet that would be pushed out to any infected machine, any machine that called home. [01:03:58] And once it called home, they would send this version out. Now they, of course they muted it to you might a virus for a vaccine, but they muted that AMETEK virus. And it was no longer sending out the phishing attacks, et cetera, but it was still setting on everyone's machines because the thinking was, we want to get rid of this Trojan software everywhere at once. [01:04:25] Just. Bam all at once. And so they put a date into the code that they pushed out saying on this day, at this time course, UTC. Go ahead and remove yourself from the machines. That is incredible. They were able to figure this out or what was happening get emo tap from its base, which is to conduct brute force attacks on accounts, trying to crack passwords, gain access to secure data, send all of that information. [01:05:01] Out use it as a botnet to also attack other machines and send emails. It just incredible as well, of course has encrypt files and demand ransoms to something that just last week removed itself from any machines, it was on. Absolutely amazing. The FBI collected the email addresses from these AMETEK servers, following this takedown in January, where again, the Netherlands had control of the servers and it's just absolutely amazing here because they were able to take it down worldwide. [01:05:44] Very dangerous botnet, but once they had those email addresses, they gave them to our friend Troy hunt. Do you remember him? We've talked about him before and it's something I emphasize in most of my courses because Troy hunt has a website called have I been poned. And they gave these email addresses the 4.3 million that they got from Emma and to Troy hunt. [01:06:14] And he has included them in. Have I been poned now, if you were part of this breach by Emotet and do you registered on, have I been poned.com you now should have already received an email from Troy. So it's important that you do a couple of things. One, make sure you check your email addresses at, have I been poned.com? [01:06:42] Poned dispelled P w N E D. It's. P O w N E D I, he might actually have it both ways. Let me just have a quick look as we're talking. How have I being, if I say P O w N E d.com, will it no. Okay. There is no such thing which makes sense. It's have I been poned as in P w N E d.com. Check your. Email addresses. [01:07:10] See if they're there and register for this service. This is a free service. There are a lot of companies that are using it. Mozilla uses it with Firefox to see if your passwords might have been compromised. They've got 11 billion poned accounts. There at, have I been poned this guy knows the stuff. Okay. [01:07:31] And it's been, this particular one has been tagged sensitive. You can find out more about that@havebeenponedbot.com, but make sure you do that right now, as you're sitting here listening to me because it's very. Very sensitive information important for you to know. And if you have been powned and it's a business email address, make sure you let your it people know. [01:07:58]I was fascinated to chat with this guy from Ireland. He had course of pretty heavy accent. He's been living in San Francisco for years, but about the only word that he said that was Americanized was for, he didn't say it like you'd expect someone with a heavy Irish accent to say it quite that way. Then, I am really into accents and placing them. [01:08:24] And I've pretty much gotten rid of my accent. Some people still pick up a little bit of it, but I was educated in French schools up in Quebec. So there's bound to be a little bit of it left. So I like to listen for those things. And in talking to him, he said that Ireland changed because of wifi. And I had to think about that. [01:08:48] And he said, yeah, my, my parents, because of what they're just always on the news. And they're just totally freaked out about everything all of the time. And they're always were talking about how horrific Donald Trump was, because that's what CNN was telling them. And these other sites that they were going to. [01:09:09] And of course, we've talked many times about. The literal censorship that is happening in much of our media. And these all are arcs out in Silicon Valley and how they're controlling the discussions. But that's not what I want to talk about. He was referring to wifi. He was saying, why is what's changed Ireland, wifi? [01:09:31] And I'm trying to figure out what does he mean? And then I remembered another friend of mine. Who's from Ireland, his name's Dez. And. There's also was continually talking about wifi. And then I finally put two and two together, sometimes a little dense, and tuned to equaled wifi as the internet. So when he was talking about why fi he wasn't really talking about wifi, when I'm thinking about wifi, I'm thinking about why five, five wifi, six, the older protocols, right? G a, some of them, man, it goes way back a, B, G. Anyhow. That's what I think of. I think of the literal in the air, why that choosing radio waves in order to connect right. Beacons and everything else. And maybe that comes from my, having a ham radio background, having an advanced class ham radio license. [01:10:26] I don't know at any rate, why fine is the intranet, at least in his mind. And also apparently the minds of his parents. I sat all of that because I want to talk about space X space. X has already won a battle. You may not even be aware of. You and I, when we have internet, where are we getting it? Most of us get it from the cable company or from the phone company, almost everybody with five G we're hoping mom, maybe the cost will go down and the speeds are going up and we'll be able to get our internet from the phone company. [01:11:12] Just like we have cell service. And that is going to happen in some areas, some communities, but how about all of our rural communities and in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho. And then all the way down South. Yeah. There is a lot of territory that is not covered well by 5g. [01:11:38] Yeah. Yeah. You see the maps from T-Mobile and from Verizon, but remember maybe you don't know. So I'm like I say, remember, but you have to know that those maps are just based on a mathematical formula. So just because an area is red does not mean that you have coverage there, 5g or otherwise. And you've probably found that before, too. [01:12:04] I know I did. I looked at a coverage map and sure enough, bam right there in the middle of all of that red was my house. And yet I had no cell signal really upset me and the FCC was trying to fix that out. Pitt who the head of the FCC he had he was appointed by president Trump and he had put some rules in place that made those maps are a lot more reasonable. [01:12:36] But we're still talking about the majority of the landmass of the United States, vast majority, not being able to get good 5g signals. So my good, in any, in many cases, so space X has been going after those people. I announced it months ago when it was first available, this beta test they were doing for. [01:13:01] What they call their startling satellite service. Now this is a satellite service, unlike any you've seen before. It isn't putting up a dish for your television and you got to make sure it's aimed in the right direction. And hopefully it's not raining or snowing heavily. Cause you're going to lose your television. [01:13:22]You guys had those types of problems before they happen. All of the time. And then of course you have summer summertime with the green attenuators, those leaves on the trees and other green things that are absorbed some of those radio frequencies. So your satellite dish works better in the winter than it does a summer. [01:13:41]That's why you probably have some leaves or other greenery that's in the way space X has already launched a small, pretty large, frankly a whole set of satellites, broadband satellites, and they call these constellations when you have a whole bunch of them together. And then in 2018 space X got FCC approval to launch. [01:14:06] 4,400 satellites and that permission and that license specifies. Okay. You have to be so far from the earth. It was about 1100 kilometers to 1300 kilometers above the earth. And then the FCC gave space X permission to use a lower altitude for more than 50. 1800 of those satellites. Now the idea behind this is the closer the satellites can be to the ground. [01:14:37] The last distance, the signal has to travel. So some of the problems people have been having not enough bandwidth, maybe although the majority of them are reporting a hundred megabits down, which is just incredible and also the delay. And that gets to be a problem. When you're speaking to someone, you got a hundred milliseconds up a hundred milliseconds down that is noticeable when you're in the middle of a conversation. [01:15:06] So the space X guys went ahead and petition the FCC again, and they got an order that granted space X is additional license change requests. So the altitude for all 3000 ish of the satellites. Can now drop their orbit basically in half in about the 550 kilometer range that is going to be. Huge. [01:15:37] Absolutely huge. And obviously opposition from all of their the companies competing against them via S sat, Hughes, dish network, one web, and Amazon has another one called  and they are all saying you can't do that. It's just not fair. But this is fantastic here because it corner the FCC statement. [01:16:01] They said, based on our review, we agree with space X, that the modification will improve the experience for users of the space X service, including in often underserved polar regions. We conclude that the lower elevation angle of its earth station antennas and lower altitude of its satellites enables a better user experience by improving speeds. [01:16:26] And latency not, I don't want to go into a whole lot of detail, but man, Oh man, this is huge. Now you may not be aware of it, but part of your telephone bill, some of those fees and taxes that are in that bill have been going into a pot. As though the federal government ever actually saves money, it's a lockbox that doesn't really exist. And there are about, I think it was 16. Billion dollars sitting there in this lockbox. So space X has gone after that money as well. And they've received the majority of that money. I can't

Today on the SuperFeast podcast, we have one of our favourite returning guests: Lifestyle medicine man, acupuncturist, author, Qi practitioner of 40 years, and all-around cosmic wisdom keeper, Jost Sauer is chatting to Mason about Lifestyle Health, from the global pandemic to Qi. It is so refreshing to have Jost on, reminding us that health starts with us, and if we take care of our health, we can have a very different response to things like pandemics. Mason and Jost dive deep into the importance of sleep, both for our physical body and healthy Hun. In his brilliant way, Jost weaves the physical and ethereal, describing Hun as the movement of the soul, our dreaming, creativity, visions, inspiration, and antidote to fear. Tune in for this one. Jost brings so much knowledge, vitality, and Daoist wisdom.   "The healthier you are, the more wisdom from the body will come to you, the more you will be guided by the body". - Jost Sauer   Mason and Jost explore: Pandemic or syndemic? What has caused the fragility of health in society as a whole? Sleep; Why it’s essential for Qi energy. The importance of having a ‘switch off time’ from technology before sleep. Technology; finding a flow that benefits both the physical and spiritual self. Strengthening Lung Qi. Strong Immunity; Living correctly for strong Lung Qi and Metal energy. Rituals for waking that prepare you for the day.  Tuning into your Qi cycle. Waking up; why breathing techniques are better than coffee. Understanding Hun and Po energy, within the Daoist philosophy. Hun energy and the Liver. What happens to our Hun when we sleep? Meditation and plant communication. Herbs; the elements of nature that build the body/mind/spirit. Who is Jost Sauer? Jost (aka the lifestyle medicine man) was born in Germany in 1958 and is an acupuncturist, author, Qi practitioner of 40 years, and healthy lifestyle expert. His background includes competitive skiing, body-building, and ironman training. Post-drug addiction and suicidal depression led him to martial arts, TCM, the power and cycle of Qi, and the understanding that a natural rhythmic lifestyle holds the secrets to anti-aging, health, and success. Jost has been using lifestyle therapeutically for his clients for over 20 years. Jost is an expert in Chinese Medicine, which he lectured in for over a decade at the Australian College of Natural Medicine, has been running successful health clinics since 1991, initially specialising in addiction recovery, and has treated tens of thousands of clients. His passion is sharing his ongoing discoveries about making lifestyle your best medicine through his books, blogs, articles, workshops, and retreats (all of which we linked in the resources below).    Resources:    Jost Website Jost Facebook Jost Instagram Jost Youtube The 15 Minute Bodyweight Workout Higher and Higher Book  Qi Cycles And The Dao with Jost Sauer (EP#48)   Lifestyle Medicine with Accupuncturist Jost Sauer (EP#63)   Q: How Can I Support The SuperFeast Podcast?

Sorry, I do that sometimes.   Jost Sauer: (00:06) No worries.   Mason: (00:10) Welcome back.   Jost Sauer: (00:11) Yeah, yeah. Welcome back. That's a good one.   Mason: (00:14) A lot's happened. Last year, we were looking forward to having you in-house here in the podcast room, but we're living in a bit of stranger times, compared to this time last year. I think we chatted once more, even before we knew just how huge everything was going to be with the way that the world was reacting to everything that it's reacting to, in 2020. How are you going? You're stuck up there across the border in Queensland, because you've got some big projects and revamps of your awesome book going ahead, and big workshops going on. Exciting times for you.   Jost Sauer: (00:58) Yeah, yeah. I mean, I keep going. Business as usual, obviously, because obviously I take care of my health. If you take care of your health, then you've got a totally different response to things like COVID. The most important thing that we need to understand is that we can't isolate COVID as an entity, because we've got to look at the whole socioeconomic, and the whole health aspect of people. As a lot of experts say, COVID is a confluence of events. Many, many, many events are instrumental for that what now brings up all the symptoms. You know, we can pretty much say 20 years ago it wouldn't have been this problem. 20 years ago, people lived totally different. Now we have this, this is now by far the most unhealthiest, unfittest, weakest, most fragile society we've ever seen.   Mason: (02:03) 100%. So where, for you looking at it, you can see that there is a fragile society. And you can see the general consensus is when you call that out, people get offended by the fact of calling a spade a spade as I'd say. It's just like, look. We're not having a go at people that haven't really looked after their health. But the reality is that I've seen a big split. There are the people that are just willing to accept that we just do continue to not look after our health and our fitness, or if they do it's on a very surface, government-incentivized level of fitness and healthy food, and those that are actually willing to go deep and understand their physiology, their qi cycle and their own personal chi, and take full responsibility. Not to say that there's risks there, but there's a big split.   Mason: (02:56) I've liked watching you. You've gone full throttle as you always have in everything you do, going, "Just take full responsibility for your health." Do you see after this pandemic stuff, do you see it just being as a division? Or have you seen more positive outcomes, that more people have woken up to realising that they can't just sit back and wait for some ambiguous medicine to come and save them?   Jost Sauer: (03:25) Yeah, the way I look at it, because I'm a big follower of the I Ching, I'm a follower of the Chinese medicine, the Taoist view. And we don't have the word "crisis" in that philosophy. We only have transition. So society is in a transition to the next stage, the seam as 20 years ago there was a transition into that stage that it is right now, and it's left to this proliferation of symptoms that seem to be uncontrollable. But it's because of all these many, many events coming together that has weakened society, and has made society fragile, that a virus can uproot them.   Jost Sauer: (04:03) Chinese doctors in China, a lot of the Chinese doctors believe COVID can not ... they actually see that without a preconceived condition, you actually can't be affected by this virus. The Lancet released a great article a month ago, one month ago. It said, "There is no pandemic. It's not a pandemic. COVID-19 is not a pandemic." They named it a syndemic, a syndemic. S-Y-N-demic, meaning there's a lot of little or many, many little factors coming together. They basically stated in the article that looking at COVID as a medical problem, biological medical problem, will not address the issue. They stated that we need to look at what has caused the fragility in the society. They call it the NCDs, the non-communicable diseases, such as diabetes, obesity, blood pressure, et cetera.   Jost Sauer: (05:11) The non-communicable diseases, the NCDs, are the predispositions required for the COVID to create havoc. So when you really see what has caused the problem, is in fact nothing else than a sign of nature to tell us we've got to take stock of who we are. This is now a new way forward, a transition into identifying who we are, and move forward into a life that would reclaim our true rights and what we are.   Jost Sauer: (05:50) For example, 20 years ago people were still sleeping all night. Sleep disorders were the minority. I've been in therapy for over ... I've been working with people for 40 years now, so it's a long time, yes? I've observed people for 40 years, a little over 40 years. So I have been listening to stories for over 40 years. And sleep problems have never been presented as in the last few years. It has become a pandemic of sleep disorders.   Mason: (06:28) Yeah. A real pandemic. Like, that's a solid pandemic. Yeah.   Jost Sauer: (06:35) Yeah. Yeah, that's a real pandemic. It's the fact that people don't sleep proper anymore. And sleep is a mystery. Science will not make sense out of sleep. They may tell, "Okay, we need seven hours' sleep," but what that really means, they don't know. In Chinese medicine, in the Taoist philosophy, we are a spirit that incarnates into the physical world, and the physical world is enormously hostile territory. Incarnating into the physical form is like landing on Mars. It's not our home.   Jost Sauer: (07:07) Lao Tzu stated 2,500 years ago, "Humans don't feel at home on earth." No one feels at home here, because it's not our home. For some reason, we decided to incarnate into a physical form, to limit our perceptions, to have incredible resistance back to us, in order to expand something that is enormously fragile. And in order to expand it, we are exposed to all kinds of enemies. Those enemies are designed in order to strengthen us, but also to expand and build that what we call the physical. So it's a battlefield, being here. The Bhagavad Gita also states it's a battlefield, being here. So we need to see ourselves as star travellers that enter the physical, and we are warriors, and we're going to fight.   Jost Sauer: (07:59) We've got to be prepared. We need to have the shield up every day. We need to have the sword in our hand, upright, ready for the battle. Then we know, if we go into hostile territory, say we land on Mars, we know exactly we need to return to the mothership in order to get oxygen, in order to refuel ourself. That is what sleep is. So every time we sleep, we're returning home. We're going back to where we come from. Then we get to replenish. We get new ammunition. We get new weapons. Our software gets updated. We get new instructions. We get a new understanding. We've got new maps for the hostile territory. We get new teachings. So when we wake up, we're entering the uniform again, and we are ready back in the body, and now we can, okay. Let's do the next mission.   Jost Sauer: (08:57) But since those smartphones have come on the market, the first iPhone and all this stuff, people now sleep with iPhones. It's only 3% now of the population who don't sleep with their phone. We've never had that before. If you have your electric device right beside your bed, you are in alert mode. The electric EMF of the EMI of the phone keeps you into the alert mode. It means it takes you to the physical. Alert means I'm physical.   Jost Sauer: (09:35) In order to transcend to sleep, that means I'm going back to my mothership where I can get rejuvenated. I need to leave. I need to get away from Mars and go into orbit, in order to be home again. That's exactly what we do when we sleep. We go into orbit. We're leaving the planet. We go outside so we can, "Ah. I'm back safe." I mean, who likes to wake up and say, "Shit, I feel awesome"?   Mason: (10:10) Yeah, and that's the pandemic of that not happening.   Jost Sauer: (10:12) Yes. That's a pandemic. The pandemic is the smartphone. The pandemic is [crosstalk 00:10:19].   Mason: (10:21) I don't even find this to be even slightly controversial in saying, if that's a staple for health and staple for ... I mean I guess I'm talking about from a Taoist philosophy having the capacity for one's hun to travel, which is something I wouldn't mind talking to you, and get some distinction for everyone to understand how we nourish ourselves at night with our huns travelling. But if we have a pandemic of people not sleeping well, correlated to certain things like phones, and lights on at night, and just the lack of interest in having people have healthy sleep, therefore they don't heal, therefore they wake up feeling shit, therefore they're more susceptible to having symptoms and being more susceptible to viral infections [crosstalk 00:11:11]-   Jost Sauer: (11:10) Yeah, of course. Of course. You're running out of oxygen. You may breathe, but you're running out of oxygen. What I mean with that, you're running out of chi. Like, sleep is necessary, unless you're a truly trained master who can bypass sleep by meditation techniques. Everyone, until then, depends on deep, nourishing sleep. Because what we tank, what we receive during sleep is chi, cosmic chi. There is no word for that in the Western sciences. Western science can't make sense out of sleep.   Jost Sauer: (11:50) If you understand how to replenish the cosmic chi, you can work more with sleep in your personal need. But if you don't know how to do that, you need a certain amount of sleep, which is usually around seven hours. So-   Mason: (12:05) Yeah. Oh, I'm sorry.   Jost Sauer: (12:08) Yeah, so-   Mason: (12:10) You can keep on going, please. Yeah.   Jost Sauer: (12:10) That is where it gets critical, because in order to get the deep sleep we need to actually have a switch-off time. We need to actually have two hours away from, before we go to bed we already need to switch off. We can't just suddenly go to bed: "Okay, I need to sleep. I'm going. It's 9:59 p.m. Okay, I need to be asleep in three minutes." It doesn't work that way. We need to be completely switched off. We need to be actually letting go of the physical, and we need to be ourselves. We need to completely just be a blob, and just stay there, and just be who we are, without doing any social expectations, without anything.   Jost Sauer: (12:55) In the old days, in the ancient days, that was well understood. They had the travelling storyteller. Every nighttime, when people sat around the fire, there was a storyteller that told the story that never ended, that never finished. But it put you away from the physical. It took you away into the astral world, into the imagination. And that's exactly what we need to go. The story makes you flow away. And that function in Chinese medicine is referred to as san jiao. In my book, I call it the Ferryman, because it is like crossing the shores, going from one shore to the next. You're going into the sleep land.   Jost Sauer: (13:39) So we need actions two hours before we're going to bed that allows us to switch off, so that we can drift away. So this considered action that will now take the brainwaves to a very low state, to a beta state and then theta state, before we actually go to sleep. So we need to be actually in ... This is the good thing about understanding your heart rate. You need to get your heart rate down below 60, ideally, two hours before. Yeah. People who have Fitbits and things like that, I always tell them, "Look, just do breathing techniques to get your heart rate down below 60. You know you will be able to sleep proper." So I utilise technology.   Jost Sauer: (14:23) I'm not against technology. I'm a big man of ... I love technology. But I'm using technology to explore the hostile territory, and I know exactly I need the technology also to go back home to my mother ship in orbit, so I can actually be at home in my cosmic state. I don't need technology for that, because technology can't do that. Technology's only designed to navigate the hostile territory on Mars, but not for my cosmic self. My spiritual self will not benefit from tech. But my physical benefits from tech. That means we need to understand when to use tech, and when not to use technology. The best time to use it, have half of your day with technology, half of the day no technology, and you're fine. Yeah?   Mason: (15:17) That's a lot to ask. Which is, I'm with you. But sometimes I look back at my 2020, it was just so tech heavy because I was just so into business. I reflect now, and I'm in the middle of two months off now, where I'm able to ... I just get off my tech. And I'm feeling that contrast, and just the effect, Jost, of that maybe excessive tech without ... I like going into deep dives of using technology, as long as I have a plan on how I'm going to be stepping back into having enough time to basically swing the pendulum, come back to a natural state where I'm not around technology at all. Which is just something I didn't do last year, and now I'm kind of like, got to have a couple of months off to do it, which I think is healthy.   Mason: (16:08) I was just going to ask, let's talk about the Ferryman. Because that's beautiful. The Ferryman, you know, if you think about sitting around the fire and telling stories, or playing music, there's almost a bridging to another dimension.   Jost Sauer: (16:27) Yes, that's correct.   Mason: (16:28) In this day and age, I see there's almost ... I call things often ... Not to pooh-pooh watching TV or anything like that, but sometimes I see things, I call them "toxic mimics", and things we do in this day and age to try and mimic what was done when we were in the real natural order, and natural flow. One of those is watching TV before we go to bed, to try and mimic this storyteller, of sitting around the fire.   Jost Sauer: (16:57) Yes. Yes, yes, yes.   Mason: (17:00) When you're talking about that period of say, that cycle of 8:00 to 10:00 p.m., what activities, what specifically are you doing? What are your clients doing, in order to enjoy and really be in that vibe?   Jost Sauer: (17:14) Okay. TV is not the problem. For example I tell everyone, TV shows, if you watch one episode that is not connected to a follow-up, that you watch two episodes and three episodes, that actually will work in terms of the storytelling. If it's a good story, if it's a good TV show ... And a lot of creativity goes into creating awesome TV shows these days, especially because the story never ends. It's in line with the storyteller of the ancient days. The best thing is to have where the TV screen is not connected to a TV stage. You don't want advertising blaring, and things like that. That disrupts it. That is a disruptive emotion. So as, if you have one episode, it usually goes 55 minutes, you actually will get your brainwaves very low by the end of the episode. The idea is to be aware of the cliffhanger, and not to go for the next episode.   Jost Sauer: (18:25) So it needs a bit of discipline. But if you live correctly throughout the day, that discipline actually doesn't take long. I mean, we need to realise that we are in a stage of transition. COVID means transition. Society is in transition. We need to understand that this is now the creativity required in order to develop a new way of living. Because the way forward, as the Lancet even said, we can't address COVID with vaccines. It will not work, because the cause of the problem with COVID is the lifestyle around that causes the complications. The invasion of COVID can only cause problems if there is a predisposed condition, according to all the research. And that is, Western medicine and Chinese medicine both agreeing that it's the lifestyle. That means we are forced now.   Jost Sauer: (19:25) It's almost like we are going to look at that virus, it's Mother Nature waking us to, okay, we've got to take stock of who we are. We can't continue living the way we live. So whenever we talk about suggestions about changing our life, we are forced to look at this from a perspective, and say, "What are the other options?" We have run out of options, yes? There's really no way other than going ... The way forward is going inward, to identify, okay, I need to live a different life because I need to cut off from technology, say around 7:00, 8:00, 7:00 p.m. I've got to turn my phone off. I've got no choice. I can't have emails I'm answering from 7:00 p.m. onwards until the morning. I can't. I can't wake up to my phone. If I wake up to my phone, I'm not getting the cosmic qi that's required to provide all this immunity development.   Jost Sauer: (20:29) If I wake up and go straight for my phone, I'll weaken my lung chi. It's a lot of research done on that now. Waking up and going straight to your phone, go for email, go for social media, it takes you away from trying to build the shield. When we wake up, we have to put the uniform on. When we wake up, it's like we're landing on Mars. We've got to first of all put the uniform on. We can't just walk outside into the hostile conditions without the proper uniform on. We're going to get plastered, big time. First of all, we've got to put that shield up.   Jost Sauer: (21:11) That already has been articulated 3,000 years ago by the Chinese, where they understood when we wake up, the energy is in the lung, and the lung is our night, it's [inaudible 00:21:22]. It's our shield. If we know how to breathe, we're sealed off. First of all, we've got to get into bringing up the breathing. If I wake up and go straight for my phone, I'm allowing my armour to be open. So there's gaps in my armour.   Jost Sauer: (21:43) Of course, if I go for Facebook or Instagram in the mornings, I basically tell my enemies where my gaps are in the armour. And bang, the arrows go straight in. Now I get emotionally entangled, and as soon as I get emotionally entangled, I can't get my immunity. Then obviously, now I'm getting outside. And we're surrounded by hostile bacteria and viruses all the time. It's just, every now and then they identify one. Next year, they're going to identify something totally different we don't even know yet. We don't know much about the physical. It's not our home, so of course we constantly discover something new.   Jost Sauer: (22:26) But if you've got the shield up, then it can't get in. It's a fact. It can't get in, because we are on a mission here to expand something, and whoever created us understood that this is the job that we need to do. And they equipped us with all what we need. They gave us what we need. And all that we need, in order to have strong immunity, and energy, and vitality, and clarity, is within our body. They gave us everything, and it's stored in the organs. Each organ has got all the information about our mission on this planet, on this hostile planet.   Jost Sauer: (23:12) If we wake up, we need to first of all engage with this information that's stored in our organs, and bring it forward, and then make contact with ground control, and get the message. Yeah? Receive it, and say, "Yes, I've got it," and then put your spacesuit on, and make the armour, put the armour on. Put the sword ... make the sword ready. Make the guns ready. Make the weapons ready. And then, so, okay, I can now get outside. That means I can now open up the phone.   Mason: (23:47) Yeah, yeah, yeah. The lung, that middle shield and [inaudible 00:23:53], because even though you've got it as the night, as the archetype, lung is the night archetype in your [crosstalk 00:23:59], I just still hadn't really related to that feeling when you wake up. I guess I get drawn to feeling that way, and armoring up. And I get why some people feel quite precious about, "Oh no, that's too strong of a language." But it feels good for me.   Mason: (24:17) I kind of feel like this year I've approached the morning quite softly and sweetly, and it doesn't mean that's going to go away, that yin element and that yin approach and quality that I have. But there has been lacking a bit of yang energy there for me, in the beginning of the day. So you've just helped me ignite that a little bit, there. And what an important day and age to remember that.   Jost Sauer: (24:41) Yeah. The most important thing, the good thing about is that the universe is constantly providing us with incredible solutions and help. Like, there are incredible people on this planet. We've got Wim Hof. Wim Hof is providing the world with incredible techniques. I tell everyone, as soon as you get up the first thing what you need to do is get engaged with breathing techniques. The Navy Seals, before they do anything, they do breathing techniques. They do box breathing. You breathe in, one, two, three, four, hold the breath one, two, three, four, and then breathe out one, two, three, four, and then hold on the out breaths for one, two, three, four. You keep circulating like a box, slow, and then you count eventually up to eight, and nine, and 10, so you get a really deep, slow breath.   Jost Sauer: (25:36) What it means is, it fills the whole body with chi. The Navy Seals understand that when you go into combat, you need to have clarity. You need to have emotional control. You can't just go into combat and being emotionally fragile. You can't be a commander, a soldier, when you lose the plot. You know? First of all, you've just got to have emotional control. Emotional control is the result of how you breathe, because in Chinese medicine, that's the metal element. Lung is a metal element, and metal controls emotions. So metal is the sword that chops wood, and wood is when emotions get out of control, like a tree that is out of control needs to get chopped in the branches, in order to grow proper. Otherwise, you've got the weeds going all around the house, and you suffocate.   Jost Sauer: (26:36) In order to do that, we need the blade. That's the metal. That is directly connected to the breath. So as soon as we wake up, the first thing what we need to do is actually breathe correctly, because what that will do is, it will actually now saturate the body with chi. It makes the metal, the blade ready, in order to control the emotions. Like the old saying is, when someone is get angry, take a deep breath. That's what it's referring to. Of course, when we wake up no one feels good. Very few people feel good.   Jost Sauer: (27:14) Why is that? Because when we are asleep, melatonin is still very high. That's why we sleep. When we wake up, melatonin can be still on a high level for at least one hour to two hours. So it can make people feel seasick. It can make people not with it. It's very common to wake up and feel, "Oh, I'm not with this." What research has shown, if you drink coffee when you wake up, you feel worse later in the day because this melatonin level that is high, coffee will aggravate it, and will cause a chemical imbalance that later in the day will cause havoc.   Jost Sauer: (27:54) That's exactly in line with the qi cycle, because in the qi cycle we don't drink coffee until after breakfast. We don't use coffee to wake up. We use breathing techniques to wake up. We never use stimulants to wake up, because if you use stimulants, you're not going inward. That's the thing. So we need to tap into the qi that's in the body. We need to first of all get the tools that are within us, that is given to us on our mission to succeed in this hostile territory. And that's the qi in each of the organs. If we have any kinds of stimulants when we wake up, like coffee or tea, anything like that, we don't tap into the qi as effective. Yes?   Jost Sauer: (28:42) I've been researching that for 40 years. Just water is the best way to have direct access to the qi stored in the organs. As soon as you have anything else in there, you start diluting. You're hindering the access to the qi in the organs. And the breathing techniques, either box breathing ... I mean, I'm a big fan of Wim Hof. I mean for me, Wim Hof breathing really gets you activated and energised. Like, it makes coffee look like kindergarten, okay?   Mason: (29:18) Yeah, it's great.   Jost Sauer: (29:19) Yeah. You will totally charge up, if you do four rounds of 40 breaths and hold it, and with every breath you hold it for three minutes, so that means you have got like 15 minutes or 17 minutes already like that in the first. You have charged up the qi for the rest of the day. Just like that is enough.   Jost Sauer: (29:43) The way I work with people is, when you wake up, ignore how you feel. It's most likely melatonin on peak level. It's an unresolved issue from the previous day. Because the metal element is directly connected, associated with the large intestine, and the large intestine is detox. So before we start the day, we need to let go of the previous, of all the shit from the day before. It's like you clear the armour first. So before you put the qi in, you're going to clear out all the armour. You clear out everything. You clear the valves. You clear everything out. That's the toxic chi. That's the emotion from the previous day.   Jost Sauer: (30:27) Most likely when you wake up and you feel bad, it's because melatonin levels up, because toxicity wants to be released. Once again, if you drink coffee you interfere with the process. You don't allow the organ to do it. If you drink coffee, that means the coffee is doing it but not the organs. You want the organ to do it, not the coffee. Yeah?   Jost Sauer: (30:52) Coffee is great. I love coffee. I have it after breakfast. Never abuse coffee when you need it to wake up. Your organs got all the qi to make you feel good. It's a fact. Everyone I work with after a while realises, "My god, everything I need to feel good is within me." So that's tucked away, hidden in the organs. If you drink coffee, if you pick up social media straight on waking up, it's like the universe gives us this beautiful supply of cosmic chi, this beautiful energising substance, and we say, "Nah, nah, nah. I want some secondary bullshit. Can I have some?" Yeah?   Mason: (31:35) We're scared about getting the finer things. We're scared of the abundance, Jost.   Jost Sauer: (31:38) Yeah. It's incredible what's within us. It's absolutely incredible. So the breathing techniques will unleash that. Then the next thing is to mobilise the body. We have got yoga moves these days. We've got all kinds of like ... I've got a beautiful 15-minute bodyweight workout routine on my website. I recommend it [crosstalk 00:32:06] have that, and it uses lunges and all the core training combined. I worked out a sequence that have been researched over what works best, in just 15 minutes, with my experience derived from 40 years of intense exposure to practise of kung fu, and et cetera.   Jost Sauer: (32:24) Then after the breathing techniques, you mobilise the body. You want to free the core chi, the qi in the gall bladder meridians. So we need to then mobilise all the qi in each of the meridian. That means we get it, and then that's sometimes all we need. Yeah?   Mason: (32:44) Mm-hmm (affirmative).   Jost Sauer: (32:45) Then so it's half an hour every morning. But man, the results, the rewards of that ...   Mason: (32:55) It's interesting to think, I've talked to a lot ... that has been one of the biggest talking points from our two other podcasts, that people, whether it's the crew here at SuperFeast, or people that have listened to it, when we talk about the mornings. And so, there's a qi cycle, there's a particular ... For those of you that are new and you haven't got Jost's book, or you're not familiar with the Chinese organ wheel, where there's particular times, rough times where I guess there's a concentration of qi in particular organs, and they're generally like two-hour blocks, and Jost really dives into that, and is really doing a really wonderful job in helping us integrate that into the western world.   Mason: (33:38) Basically, what people have talked about most is how, a lot of the time you're going ... the energy of the lung at that time is doing its job already. So there's going to be periods where people are going, "I don't have to go and put a lot of energy into breath work." Then what they've done and realise is, there's going to be a certain amount that my lungs can do without attention. Then when they give as much attention as they can, because there are times where they get a little bit of breath work, even when they don't feel like it, or during that time they're like, "No, I'm going to give it a little bit of attention" ... Even though things weren't bad, yet, when they weren't in that cycle, they're like, "Oh." It is much better.   Jost Sauer: (34:25) Yes.   Mason: (34:26) [crosstalk 00:34:26] does. And so I think that was the biggest thing for people. They were like, "It seems like unless I do this huge breath work at this time, I'm going to be getting no benefit, or there's going to be no help." I always say, "No, that's not what Jost is saying. He's saying if we want to stay vibrant, long-term, we can just get ahead of it. You might as well ... The other thing, this is where it is, the other thing.   Mason: (34:52) People go, "I just don't feel like it in the morning, and that's what my body's telling me. I'm going to listen to my body." I understand that can be there. To a certain extent that can be acceptable, in some instances. But the amount of people that have gone by your advice, and gone, "I've not listened to my body, and I've tried to feel my chi," and then being compassionate as they went along ... They're not just going into adrenal depletion when they're ... They're not flogging their body, if they're physically exhausted, but nonetheless, they've listened to their qi and they've experimented with not doing what the body wants, but doing what it needs.   Jost Sauer: (35:39) Yes.   Mason: (35:41) A lot of people have had really, really profound, profound outcomes doing that. I feel like in the Byron Bay kind of consciousness thing, it's quite a ... even though I don't find it that in-your-face, it's quite an alarmist thing for some people to hear. No, ignore. Realise what the qi cycle is, where the energy is in the organs, and what that organ wants to do at that time of day. It's been really profound for a lot of people.   Jost Sauer: (36:10) Yes. Yeah. I mean, inertia is part of the physical. There are certain forces around us that are present, regardless of what we do, and regardless of what state we are in terms of our consciousness. Inertia is a force, a law of the physical. Inertia doesn't exist in the spiritual. So being here, we are subject to inertia. We need to push against it. We can't go by how we feel in the morning, simply because we don't know what that means, how we feel in the mornings, yet, because we don't have access to the wisdom of the body. The only thing that we have is like feelings on the periphery. But there is no connection to the wisdom of the body yet. The wisdom of the body is hidden in layers of jung, inertia, and kind of a lot of stuff.   Jost Sauer: (37:13) Of course, it's not about going for a hard core run. We don't force. That's Chinese medicine over and over. We don't force, but we don't be lazy either. And we ignore the voice of not wanting to do it. The aim is to start to get going. Then as you get going, the qi starts to move. As the qi starts to move, it will have access to the wisdom of the body. The body then will start saying. But unless you get the movement and the qi flowing, you will not know what your body wants. So it's a critical situation that we actually need to do before we see what the body wants.   Jost Sauer: (37:56) If I wake up, and give into what I think the body wants, it's most likely not what my body's telling me. It's inertia speaking, it's melatonin spiking, it's a toxic energy from the previous day that now sits in my meridians. Toxic energy from the previous day can sit in the gallbladder meridian, liver meridian, and can make you really lazy. That means you can really feel ... and it can give you then an impression that you need to sit for a while, and that you need to contemplate for a while, and that you need to think for a while. Chinese medicine always says, "Don't think. Feel. Feel, don't think."   Jost Sauer: (38:40) If I think I don't get the message of my body, I need to feel. But if I wake up, what I feel is most likely the meridians are clogged and blocked with this toxic chi, because we have been exposed to a hostile territory the previous day, and there is some debris in our body that needs to be cleared out first. That comes forward as a feeling, and we can translate that as a wisdom of the body. So thinking will not regulate that. We need to transcend thinking.   Jost Sauer: (39:15) The quickest way to transcend that thinking and by getting a root feel, is by Wim Hof breathing technique. Yeah? Or by square breathing, or box breathing. According to my observation having worked with so many thousand of people in my time, the Wim Hof breathing works more aggressively in terms of feel-good, whereas the box breathing is more on the yin aspect, but also brings in the feel-good. The box breathing doesn't give the feel-good that Wim Hof does. Wim Hof is just very aggressive, in terms of making you feel good.   Jost Sauer: (39:51) I mean, all the big gurus and masters say, yeah, yeah. Do it, it's good. He's definitely a high being. He's definitely an enormously high, evolved soul, who's also a bit of a character. If you don't know him, before you judge him check him out. That's what I tell everyone. A lot of people judge him without having actually researched him. Once you start researching him, you can't actually fault him. He's crazy. He's an insane character who he just doesn't buy into opinions and things like this. He's like a Taoist, perfect emptiness, and makes the mickey out of shit.   Mason: (40:30) Have you met him?   Jost Sauer: (40:33) No, no. I've never met him. But I've been following him obviously for a while, since he started. I think it was six, seven years ago when first people heard about him. What the Feast is doing, and constantly demonstrates that it's qi what gets you ... And the Wim Hof breathing technique shows you very quickly that it's qi that moves your body. Without the techniques, you can't imagine holding your breath for three minutes. It only takes a week or two weeks, and you can hold your breath for three minutes. What you're holding, once you ... your body then feeds on chi.   Jost Sauer: (41:17) I've been a practitioner of qi for 40 years. The Wim Hof breathing technique takes you into a profound qi experience that otherwise would take 10, 20 years with kung fu or Tai chi. So it's a shortcut. Within one week, you are there what otherwise would take 15 years. You have to make it correct. If you don't do it correct, it gets ... Because it's so incredibly precise, just doing it a little bit not right, you're not getting the impact. It has to be really, really like ... if you check out the Wim Hof breathing on YouTube, but just follow his method, then you know what to do. But everyone can learn it immediately.   Jost Sauer: (41:59) That's the beauty. All that stuff that we need is within ourselves, and it's so easy to learn. It's so easy to learn. You just have to do it.   Mason: (42:12) It's definitely very accessible. He's taken [crosstalk 00:42:16] principles from very ancient traditions, and somehow not bastardised, not isolated it. Hey, before we go, I want to ask two things. First, I'd just like to quickly, because there was such a big concentration on sleep there, and especially from the Taoist perspective and philosophy what's actually happening in sleep. And I'd like, there seems to be a lot of, of course it's a big cyclical motion, like [inaudible 00:42:49] from day to night. And there's a lot of important things going on at night, as you've said. I want to hear it, if you don't mind, from the perspective of one's hun.   Jost Sauer: (42:58) Yes.   Mason: (42:59) Just because it's been something I liked getting the perspective of. You've got such a deep, and classical, and a shamanic foundation which I love, perspective and way of explaining Taoism. For one to relate to their liver and the their hun, could you just take us through that, and what happens to the hun when we do effectively sleep?   Jost Sauer: (43:21) Yeah. Okay. Chinese medicine states, or the Tao states, that in physical form we are two beings in one. We've got the infinite spirit, and that's hun. Then we've got the temporary spirit, which is po, P-O. Hun is regulated by the liver, and hun is movement. The reason why it's regulated by the liver is because the liver is responsible for expanding, for moving towards the next. It's the organ affiliated with direction. The liver will always need to move.   Jost Sauer: (44:12) If the liver does not move, then you experience that as frustration or anger. For example, if you drive a car and someone cuts you off, that translates immediately as anger. And because you have been in the flow, and flow feels good, the reason why kids love lunar park is because it's liver. It resembles the liver. It resembles hun. It resembles movement. If they would stand on a spot and just don't do anything, they wouldn't see the fun in that, and they wouldn't go. But because they go in circles all the time, and it's always moving towards the next, that's why that's the liver.   Jost Sauer: (44:52) But the liver is also activated when people do drugs. That rush that we get from cocaine or smoking pot is actually the hun. The liver moving expanded. You wouldn't do drugs. If you wouldn't experience movement, you wouldn't do drugs if you would feel resistance in that moment. If someone says, no, you can't do that. On drugs. Yeah. One line of cocaine, I can do things. I can do this. I can do that. And then you smell good cone and then, bang. I am going to do this. I am going to do that. That is lever hun. Like, let me do drugs and hun gets mobilized. It freezes itself. So we feel good at that moment, which is why drugs are the biggest business in the world.   Jost Sauer: (45:36) Sexual arousal also makes liver qi move, so it's also affiliated with the hun. That's why we love sex, because when you feel tired, exhausted and feel restricted, but as soon as you get sexually aroused and get horny, you want to do something, by god, your energy comes forward. That is all part of the hun.   Jost Sauer: (46:00) The reason why we have hun and are regulated by the liver is so that we understand being here in the physical is a mission to do something. We have come here in order to build something, in order to expand something. As I said, we have landed on Mars, and it's our job now to develop a colony. It's not, we have landed on Mars, and just sit there and stare at the stars and do nothing. We didn't come from Mars for that. We landed on this planet in order to build something, in order to do something next, in order for a civilization to start. Then we move to the next star. We're expanding the physical. That's hun.   Jost Sauer: (46:45) The hun is an astral projection of ourselves. So when people have astral sleeps or astral travel, that's the hun. It's moving forward. When people have psychosis, or psychotic episodes, the hun gets freed without having any connection to what is actually the limitation of the physical. So it does make sense to those who are in the physical world and subject to limitations, to engage with something that is not restricted by limitations. It doesn't seem to make sense. And that means the hun sees different things to that person who sees the restrictions. That means the psychotic episode is nothing else than your hun coming forward. It's like you're fully asleep and fully awake at the same time.   Jost Sauer: (47:39) Obviously, every time we feel good and doing expanding, that's all the hun aspect. But then, we also got hostile territory, and that's regulated by the lungs, and the metal. It constricts it, because the metal constricts the hun. This is where the po is the other spirit, the corporate soul, is affiliated with the metal element. It's a metal.   Jost Sauer: (48:08) The metal in the five element theory controls the wood element. Wood is hun. Metal is the corporate soul, po. So the hun can't exist in the physical without the impact of po, the restrictive soul. That means the hun is always in clash with the information how po wants us to live. Po wants security, because po, the corporate soul, is temporary. It only lives for a certain time. It's moving towards death. The body, the moment we are born or incarnate in the physical, we are moving towards death. And death is regulated by po. And po controls hun.   Jost Sauer: (49:00) When we have the hippy dream, the dream of the wakening up, the dawn of the Aquarian age, planetary alignment of brotherhood, that's all hun. So then what we see now with these COVID regulations, that's all po.   Mason: (49:25) Yeah, right.   Jost Sauer: (49:25) So we've got the hippy dream, and then we've got COVID regulations, and they completely contradict each other, because po is scared of death. It's totally scared of death. So po thinks it's going to die. Hun wants freedom and express, and wants to create great things because it doesn't die. Hun never dies. But po dies. That means we are subject to the fear of death, and the need to express our dreams and freedom at the same time.   Jost Sauer: (49:58) So the hun is always in conflict and in battle with po. Po dies, hun doesn't. That means if we don't understand how to control the metal element through the correct lifestyle, the fear aspect of po will start ruling us, and fear will now govern our life. And it's exactly what we are experiencing now. We have now become the most fearful society of all times. The society we see right now, it would be a shame to the Vikings of the old days, you know?   Jost Sauer: (50:35) There's no adventure anymore. It's just like, "I can't get out of the door, because I'll get killed." My god, the Vikings went on the boat not even knowing where they're going to go. That's the spirit. The spirit is, let's go with it. Just see what happens. We landed on Mars, let's see what happens. But po stops us, yeah? So if the metal element is not in a good place, what happens is it'll make fear worse.   Jost Sauer: (51:08) If we don't sleep much, we don't get cosmic chi. If we don't get cosmic chi, hun can't get supported. Hun needs ... hun, that's our dream, our expansion, our wanting to go out and explore. Hun needs cosmic chi. The liver is directly dependent on chi. And that qi needs to come from the universe. It can't come from any other source. So because we don't sleep, the society doesn't sleep much anymore, it doesn't get much cosmic chi. So now, hun gets weak, po gets stronger. That means desire for adventure goes low, and fear goes up.   Jost Sauer: (52:15) What we can see with the pandemic is an imbalance between following up on our dreams, and fear. Too much fear, not enough dreaming. Yeah? That's the problem. That's what we see now.   Mason: (52:29) [crosstalk 00:52:29] opportunity creates qi.   Jost Sauer: (52:30) Yeah. People are almost like, paralysed by fear. The majority of the population is paralysed by fear. And so obviously the media works on that, and they want you to be in fear because you're buying more. Since COVID, the media has made so much money. I mean, the people who will make money from COVID don't want COVID to go. Yeah?   Mason: (53:00) Wow.   Jost Sauer: (53:01) Yeah. And so what we see now is, we don't sleep. Hun depletes. Hun means your dreams. You want to follow up, you have the adventure to follow up on your dream. Because you don't sleep, you don't get the cosmic chi. Hun hasn't got any food. Therefore, because everything's regulated by yin and yang, as one goes down, the other one goes up. It's how it is. When hun goes down, fear goes up.   Mason: (53:34) So you're saying we're entering into a new age. That was one that you mentioned, creativity, coming into this new time period, this period that we [crosstalk 00:53:41].   Jost Sauer: (53:42) Yeah. We're supposed to. Yeah. It's about the dawn of the Aquarian age. That means it's actually the age of hun, in that respect. Yeah? But instead what we see is, it's the age of po.   Mason: (53:55) Well, it's like at some point, hun and po are designed to be dancing together, aren't they, within the system.   Jost Sauer: (54:03) Yeah.   Mason: (54:05) I was going to ask you what the greatest opportunity is, going forward. [crosstalk 00:54:06].   Jost Sauer: (54:06) The greatest opportunity? Okay. This is a fact. Every time we see society going through a transition, what we observe is people's emotions are very active, very high, very up. So if people's emotions are up, there's usually a lot of ... People are looking for solutions. People are looking. And most people can see that things don't add up anymore. Things don't quite make sense. It doesn't quite make sense. So as we now, in this transitional stage moving in towards something new, with it is a new economy also.   Jost Sauer: (55:00) Every time a society goes through a transition, there's a new economy. There's a new business. There's new business opportunities. And the business opportunities are right now for about how to nourish your liver, how to bring cosmic qi into your life, how to control fear, how to control emotions. Because we can't go by what is presented to us anymore by the media. No one even knows what's going, anymore. And because everyone is more ruled by fear, even if you would ... I have been in meetings, at Zoom meetings with health professionals, and data has been presented about the real rate about how many people have been tested, with all the PCR test and things like that, and what's actually real, and how many people really are dying. But if your fear is up, you see a totally different figure than if your fear is low.   Jost Sauer: (56:00) I've seen, I've been in meetings where two different groups of people looked at the same data, and see a totally different figure. And so we can pretty much say that we can't go by what we read, anymore. We don't know what we read in the media, if that's true. People are holding onto things, because if the journalist is imbalanced between hun and po, and has got more po than hun, the story will be about po, because po is scared of death. If the journalist is more hun than po, then it will be a great, inspiring article, and you'll want to follow.   Jost Sauer: (56:50) If you read the article about someone who is primarily all po energy, then you want to stay home and stay safe, and don't get out. Obviously po, the corporate soul, doesn't want us to leave the house. It's scared of death. But it's that its mechanism. It's a mechanism in the metal element, that it's telling us we are moving towards death. So if you have an imbalance in your metal element, your lung and large intestine, and it is interesting that COVID is a respiratory disease ... if there's an imbalance in the metal element then you have more fear. Then you're more scared of death, than if you wouldn't have that imbalance.   Jost Sauer: (57:36) So now, information about a virus that is deadly now becomes a reality, as opposed to someone who has got far too much hun, and doesn't see it. For them, it's just whatever. I just keep going. Yeah?   Mason: (57:49) Mm-hmm (affirmative).   Jost Sauer: (57:50) Obviously the first thing what we need to do, in order to get the wisdom of the body, because the only person who knows what's going on is the wisdom in the body, in the organ. The organ knows what is going on. That means, first of all, I need to learn how to live correctly, so that my metal element, my lung and large intestine, are functioning well. Because if my lung functions well, I have strong immunity. But also, I have wisdom and insight, because the metal element, the good side is that you will have insight. You will understand what is actually real, and what is not real. If your metal element, your lung is deficient and your liver is deficient, then you can't make sense of data. Whatever the newspaper they're telling you, you can't look through.   Jost Sauer: (58:40) Whereas if you've got strong qi in your lungs, you will know immediately this article is full of bullshit. I don't listen to this. I don't share this. I don't go into it. If you've got lots of hun and liver energy, you want to share good news. You don't want to share bad news. If you've got a deficiency in the lung, you want to share bad news, because po is scared of death. It's lying. It wants others to be part of the death.   Mason: (59:05) And po [crosstalk 00:59:06] there's more discernment as well, when you have lung chi, right? Even if it's something really negative, you can be like, "At least it's not bullshit. At least that's good, objective information."   Jost Sauer: (59:21) Yeah. I got very strong lung chi, so I love watching the news. I go, "Bullshit, bullshit. BS, BS, BS." I wouldn't share that. I've found it quite a sort of comedy. It's quite entertaining to watch the news, about all this crap that these people talk about. I mean, it's a hostile territory so it's an adventure being here. But you do need to sort out, and the metal cuts through bullshit. That's what it is. If your lung qi is strong, you will cut through bullshit. But then you've got your shield up, and things can't come in.   Mason: (01:00:02) Any, to take us into land, because this has been amazing ... Not to make any claims or any correlations, but I'm just thinking, herbs. What have you found yourself being drawn to, during ... Which herbs and formulas have you been using? It's going to be a personal journey, but I'm just interested.   Jost Sauer: (01:00:24) Look, this is obviously the other topic. I love herbs. I take herbs all the time. I take herbs every day. I've been taking herbs for 35 years, every day. I take them about three or four times during the day. I got a whole range of formulas I work with. Herbs work best by experimenting to work out what works for you. I'll tell everyone, just experiment, because this is how we learn Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine didn't start with a book. [crosstalk 01:00:55]. It didn't start with a book.   Jost Sauer: (01:01:00) It didn't start, someone gave them a book and said, "Take this." No. It was usually someone who had a deep meditation, and the spirit of the plant communicated with them, and they acted on it, and they tried it, and it did something they liked. And they shared it with others, and they observed. Then, that and more afterwards, after hundreds of years, someone started writing it down. Then someone had another epiphany. They had a mediation, deep breathing techniques, and suddenly the plant in them ... The plants communicate to us. They want us. They love us. They want to be with us, but we don't listen to them.   Jost Sauer: (01:01:42) If you do a breathing technique, deep breathing technique underneath a tree, the tree will start talking to you. It's a fact. And science even has validated that aspect now, that trees got consciousness. Obviously, trees have got a different kind of consciousness to humans. As trees die, the next tree takes on the consciousness from the previous tree. So it's an incredible connection with the overall consciousness. The memory that a tree takes on is the memory from way back whatever, when the first tree was born.   Jost Sauer: (01:02:15) But they love humans. Not so much, they're not keen on humans who cut trees off. But they love humans who will just respect them, will just ... If you go to a tree and say, "Hello," and "Nice meeting you," the tree will talk to you. And if you do Tai qi every day around, beside the same tree, the tree will know you after a while. Then, the plant will start communicating with you.   Jost Sauer: (01:02:46) This is not like esoteric bullshit or New Age stuff. That is actually something that, that's what Chinese medicine has done. That's what shamans did. They communicated with the consciousness around us. Everything around us is conscious. The planet is conscious. That means everyone has got an experience about life, and they're happy to share, because everyone's connected to hun. That means everyone wants to expand. So if I go to a tree, the hun of the tree wants to talk to me, because he wants to share. The same as when I meet a client, I want to share. The same as, when you do your podcast, you want to share. That's hun. The plants also want to share.   Jost Sauer: (01:03:32) Of course, we need to get a starting point with herbs, and you do that with SuperFeast. You provide people with all these kinds of mushrooms, and people start taking it. Then you will realise after a while, okay, I can take only a quarter spoon of jing. If I take three tablespoons of jing, it's not quite a good idea.   Mason: (01:03:52) Not long-term, anyway.   Jost Sauer: (01:03:55) I know people would do that, yeah?   Mason: (01:03:58) They do. They do. Some we need to talk off the ledge, and some people are like, "I want two heaped teaspoons, but I'm scared to do it." I'm like, "Go for it. Just remember, if you start, you need to then listen to when your body tells you to stop."   Jost Sauer: (01:04:16) Yeah. Yeah. A starting point is always like the general herbal formulas. The general herbal formula that I'll talk to everyone about, they're the major fours and six majors. They're the spleen stomach builders. Spleen, stomach, lung, like a six major herb formula, or the gentlemen, six major or the four major. They'll build stomach, spleen, and lungs.   Jost Sauer: (01:04:45) Then you've got the bupleurum formulas that work on the liver, so now you're working on regulating liver. I just love bupleurum and cyperus. I love that. I have that a couple of times throughout the day, because it helps me assist with my liver. I love the bamboo formulas, because they make sure that the energy in the heart doesn't get too far into the excitement, and actually gets me a little bit more into calmer. I love the dong quai formulas. People say they're more in the oestrogen and more for women. Well, I'm a yang man and I love dong quai formulas. I take them every day. I haven't seen anything ... I'm 62 years of age. I haven't seen any impact yet on my testosterone. So there's a lot of [crosstalk 01:05:36]-   Mason: (01:05:35) You don't look like you're having any problems with your testosterone. I want to point that out as well. I'm like that as well. Every now and then, I've really loved having, like we've got ... well there's various dong quai formulas Tahnee has around, but we've got an iron women's formula, I Am Gaia. [crosstalk 01:05:57] with women's herbs. And I love having it sometimes. It's the [crosstalk 01:06:01]. Yeah. [inaudible 01:06:04].   Jost Sauer: (01:06:05) Yeah. Those formulas are really good before you go to bed, yes? I sometimes have the dong quai formulas, especially the dong quai and peony, which is ... Dong quai and peony formula is primarily useful for women and menstrual problems, and things like that. I love that after a good workout, because it actually builds the blood, to mobilise the blood flow in the muscles. It prevents muscle soreness. And I take it before I go to bed. It's just like, whoa. You've got this nice sleep.   Jost Sauer: (01:06:39) The herbs is Mother Nature telling us to support our body, because the body that is given to us is come from nature, and it needs the elements of nature. Herbs are the elements of nature that will build the body. I've been taking herbs all those years now, all those decades. And I always tell people, "Look, when I was young, I didn't notice much about the herbs, but I'm glad I did it, because it's building a foundation." Now that I'm 62, I'm in my 60s, and my wife is also in her 60s, we both can see it's working. We are proof. And my body, the foundation of repair is like a younger body because of the herbs. Obviously, the longevity that the Chinese are talking about, I see that on a regular basis when I train under Chinese. But they take herbs all the time.   Jost Sauer: (01:07:39) I love good red wine. I have red wine, and I put a little bit of herbs in there. Like whoa, beautiful. You know?   Mason: (01:07:46) Oh man, [crosstalk 01:07:47] wine?   Jost Sauer: (01:07:49) Yeah. Red wine and good herbs. Great idea.   Mason: (01:07:53) Yeah. I'm sort of big on that. Like sangrias with goji and longan, and Chinese date, and schisandra.   Jost Sauer: (01:08:00) Yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I mean, it's like, if I realise I'm taking too much of some of the herbs, I notice right away it's not promoting my body to the best function. It's not something you can abuse. That's the thing. It's not something you can abuse, because if you abuse it, firstly some of the herbs, you don't notice. They'll stop working. But then when the body needs them, they will start working again. There's a lot of the [inaudible 01:08:32] like that. If you don't need it, the body doesn't take it. But if the body needs it-   Mason: (01:08:37) [crosstalk 01:08:37].   Jost Sauer: (01:08:38) Yeah, yeah. It's one of those things. Western people have got, they've got a lot of fear of herbs. They think you only should take it when you need it, and when you need help and things like that. No, no, no, no, no, no. It's about giving the body, the idea is to build a strong body every day. Every day, you build the body. You build it. And so the idea is to work with it.   Jost Sauer: (01:09:07) If you've got the basic formulas, like the qi builder, the liver qi movers, and then the calming ones, then you've got pretty much what you need in order to explore. You've got the four directions, north, south, east and west. Then you start experimenting a little bit with it. Then after a while, it guides you. But the fact is, you will feel stronger. Your body is stronger. Your mind is clearer, and you have more hun available.   Jost Sauer: (01:09:42)     Mason: (01:10:27) Yeah. Absolutely.   Jost Sauer: (01:10:28) That's why everyone needs to get started somewhere. Herbs are not something you can understand immediately. It will take a lifelong journey. But it's fascinating. It never ends. I mean, my 35 years with this medicine now, I'm only touching the surface. I can't imagine what it's like in another 30 years, by the time I'm in my 90s. I'll probably understand a little bit more. So this medicine is so incredibly big and deep, but it's fascinating because the more you ... Everyone can get engaged with this medicine. That's the beauty of it. It's medicine for the people. It's for all of us. And herbs are incredible ... Yeah, herbs are essential.   Mason: (01:11:24) Yeah. 100%.   Jost Sauer: (01:11:26) I mean, the Taoists I studied under, they told me herbs are superior to food. They're more important than food.   Mason: (01:11:32) I'm with you on that. I mean, I know that that's something ... it's a big statement to say in this current health scene. But for me personally, I'm there with you. I love food. I'm very interested. But for me, the herbs and the impact that I feel like they've had on my body, and my spirit, and my jing and my chi, I buy them more than my food.   Jost Sauer: (01:11:57) Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.   Mason: (01:11:58) Not that I don't want my food. Not that I don't want food. I love my food. I'm' same as you. I've seen you eating some cake and loving it.   Jost Sauer: (01:12:05) Yeah. No, that's the whole idea. That's the whole idea. Have a wholesome diet, like obviously of course you don't want to eat pizza and shit like that every day. But your body doesn't want it, if you live correctly. It's not like that. Obviously, a wholesome diet, good food, good nutrients, but don't get caught up in diet. And let herbs regulate the rest. That's how simple it is. That's how simple it is. And then breathing techniques, and chi.   Mason: (01:12:42) Everything. Go back to the beginning and listen to the podcast, everyone.   Jost Sauer: (01:12:49) Yeah, yeah. That's it. Yeah. Let's start again.   Mason: (01:12:50) [crosstalk 01:12:50]. Jost, thanks so much for making the time. Would have been great ... Next time, we'll have you in person, hopefully. Or maybe I'm going to be coming up to Sunny Coast so I'd love to come. Are you still on the Sunny Coast?   Jost Sauer: (01:13:01) Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I'm still at the Sunshine Coast. The country where we have no COVID for whatever months now, and it's probably because of the climate. I reckon it's because of the climate, because everyone's outside and the virus doesn't transmit when you're outside. The virus doesn't transmit when it's humidity. That's why lockdowns don't work. Lockdowns make the virus worse. That's why I'm an anti-lockdown person. Got to live. Got to be outside. Breathe lots of chi, cosmic chi. Take lots of herbs, and follow up on your ideas as derived by hun. Follow up, have adventure in your life, and everything's fine.   Mason: (01:13:49) I love it, bro. And everyone wanting to hear more about Jost's views on everything and the pandemic, he's been sharing really well on your Facebook page [crosstalk 01:14:00]. But we'll put the link in your bio for everyone to go and check Jost out. You've got to get Jost on Instagram as well. You've got epic posts, a lot of decades of thought and energy go into your posts, and they quite often get shared between our team, going like, "Hey, have you read that one?" "Y

Kimyasal ajan olarak sinir gazları Konvansiyonel silahlar ile yapılan savaşlarda hızla sonuç almak isteyen ordular tarih boyunca çeşitli Kimyasal, Biyolojik ve Nükleer ajanları kullanarak düşmanlarını dize getirmek istemişlerdir. Antik Yunanlılar’dan yakın geçmişte Suriye iç savaşına kadar birçok savaşta ne yazık ki silah olarak defalarca kimyasal ajanlar kullanıldı. Kimyasal silah olarak kullanılan ajanları dört ana grupta toplayabiliriz. ​1​ Sinir gazları (G-grubu, V-grubu ve A-grubu)Yakıcı gazlar (Hardal gazı, Kükürtlü hardal, Levisit, Fosgen, Oksim)Boğucu gazlar (Fosgen, Difosgen, Klor, Kloropikrin)Kan zehirleyici ajanlar (Siyanür, Siyanojen klorür) Bunlara ayrıca kapasite bozucu ajanlar, kargaşa bastırıcı ajanlar ve bitki öldürücüler de ek grup olarak eklenebilir.  G grup sinir gazları (Birinci nesil sinir gazları) Modern çağlarda en sık kullanılan kimyasal ajanlar yakıcı ve boğucu gazlar oldu ve bunların I. Dünya savaşında yaygın olarak kullanılması sırasında öngörülemeyen yıkıcı ve yaygın etkilerinin görülmesi, bu ajanların sonraki savaşlarda kullanılmasının yasaklanması ile sonuçlandı. 1936 yılında Nazi Almanya’sında sentetik insektisidler üzerine bilimsel araştırmalar yapan Gerhard Schräder 2000’den fazla organofosfat kökenli sentetik bileşik sentezledi. Bu bileşiklerin insanlar ve hayvanlar üzerinde son derce toksik olması üzerine çalışamları insektisitten sinir gazlarına yöneldi. Organofosfat pestisitler, genel yapısı bir fosfor atomunun benzersiz kimyasal özelliği ve karakteristik bir fosforil bağı (P = O) veya tiyofosforil bağı (P = S) olan bir organofosforlu bileşik sınıfıdır; böceklerde ve aynı zamanda insanlarda ve diğer birçok hayvanda Asetilkolinesteraz ve Butirilkolinesteraz enzimini inhibe ederler. Bunun sonucunda asetil kolin yıkımı durur, birikir ve Kolinerjik Sendrom olarak bilinen klinik tablo ortaya çıkar. Ajanın toksik gücüne göre klinik semptomlar hafiften ağıra hatta dakikalar içinde ölüme kadar gidebilir. Organofosfatların içinde hayli toksik olan ethil dimethilfosforamidocyanidat (Tabun, GA) sentezlenen ilk sinir gazı oldu. Bunu propan-2-yl methylphosphonofluoridate (Sarin, GB) takip etti. Bu grupta üretilen diğer sinir gazları 3,3-dimethylbutan-2-yl methylphosphonofluoridate (Soman, GD) ve cyclohexyl methylphosphonofluoridate (Siklosarin, GF) oldu.

Bu yeni bileşik S-{2-[di(propan-2-yl) amino] ethyl} O-ethyl methylphosphonothioate (VX) olarak adlandırıldı. Takip eden yıllarda SSCB bu maddeden VR (RVX), Çin de VC (CVX) isimli kendi türevlerini sentez ettiler. ABD de, İngiltere’den sinir gazı teknolojisini transfer ederek kendi kimyasal silah depolarını oluşturdu. Bu grup da İkinci nesil sinir ajanları ya da Venom (Zehir) anlamında “V-grup” ajanlar olarak isimlendirildi.​4​ Bunlardan VX, yakın tarihte 13 Şubat 2017'de, K.

Üçüncü nesil sinir gazları Kimyasal ajanların çok toksik olması üretimden nakline, depolama korunma ve imhasına kadar pek çok aşamada hiç kullanılmasalar bile sadece varlıkları bile yüksek güvenlik riskleri içeriyordu. Buna bir çözüm arayan ABD’deki laboratuvarlar 1950’li yıllarda ikili ajanları keşfettiler. İkili ajanlar,

Podgeek pratar om framtiden för podcasting med:  Jakob Svärd Nakna Entreprenören Mathie Martinez Tack För Kaffet och filmpodden Sevärt Lena, Podgeek P.O., Podgeek Jakob, nybakad poddare med passion för att skriva affärsplaner. Mathie, en av tre som driver Tack för kaffet, som hållit på sedan 2011 och gjort mer än 600 avsnitt. Mobil app och premietjänst med betalning har de utvecklat själva. Podcastens ekosytem, öppen RSS, vilken lyssnare som helst kan komma in och lyssna på vad som helst. Håller det i framtiden? Nu kommer pengarna in och det märks framförallt på Spotify som köper in poddare men också genom att komma med olika coola tjänster för poddare som håller till på deras plattform. Plattformarna vill låsa in poddarna. Kommer indiepoddarna att försvinna? Lyssnarna betalar med sina data, det är den som blir hårdvara gentemot annonsörer. När man lyssnar via app så registreras det utan att man vet om det. GDPR ger möjligheten att "opta ut" men det gör inte mobilapparna. Om data är den nya oljan så är beteende data är raketbränsle. Podcast hosting är ju ett vanligt samtalsämne, vi tar upp det också. Vi pratar om olika mobilappar och vad vi gör under tiden vi lyssnar samt vilka olika funktioner som de olika apparna har. P-O tipsar: Inventera och utmana dig själv; 1 Ted Talk i veckan 1 konferens som ligger utanför ens eget fält 3 poddar regelbundet 1 MOOC Jakob ger kärlek till Podgeek!! (innan han lovar att klä av sig naken) Mathie berättar hur det gick när de gick bakom betalvägg och hur lyssnarna reagerade, men de stod inför valet att lägga av eller börja ta betalt. Lojalitet bland lyssnarna är otroligt viktig och den bygger man genom att svara på all kommunikation som kommer från lyssnarna i olika kanaler. Att skaffa en mobil app för sin podd är som att skaffa en tatuering, den går inte att ta bort. Lyssna offline eller streama? Hur ser det ut om 5 år? Mathie tror att det blir mer live streaming för poddar. Han tror även att video formatet kommer mer i framtiden. YouTube är väl bäst för streaming och podd för ljudlyssning? Jakob tror att det är en generationsfråga, ungdomar tittar på video, vår generation är mer vana att lyssna. Både Jakob och Mathie gör vlog. Mathie tycker att det är så spännande att man kan ha både ljud och bild samtidigt. Vad lyssnar vi på? Jakob: Spår Podgeek Mathie: Filip och Fredrik Stjärnbaneret Ursäkta Lena: Filip och Fredrik Alex och Sigge Värvet Bullwark Hundåren Allt som är tråkigt att göra blir mycket roligare om man lyssnar på podd samtidigt. Sökmotorsoptimering, Google lyssnar numera på poddar. Lyssna på Podgeek avsnitt 10 med Signal Signal (numera All Ears). Vad hade du gjort annorlunda om du startat idag? Jakob skulle inte gjort något annorlunda., helst inte efter att ha tittat på Joe Rogans första avsnitt. Mathie säger att allt är mycket enklare och billigare i dag, men de har haft roligt under hela resan så han skulle nog inte heller ändrar på något. Tack för att du lyssnar och tack till alla som hängt med i livestreamen. Skicka feedback, vi älskar det!

Whether we want them to or not, recessions are inevitable in our economy. As successful business owners, keeping our business profitable and trading can be a real endeavor during a recession. But I’ve put together five of my best tips for making sure your business is recession-proof based on my own experience from the last 2007/2008 recession and plenty of research. What exactly is a recession and how will it affect your business? During a recession, people are less likely to spend money as businesses are just not growing and, in fact, many are failing and people are losing their jobs.  Business is all about planning. You can, and should, put a plan together that details what actions you and your business will take if and when a recession hits. There are many benefits to this that will help you navigate these difficult times. And you definitely need to get to a solid understanding of your business finances so that you know where and how you can make changes to stay afloat. A recession can be a good time to experiment with what your business is and what you offer. Being innovative and adaptive to the economic changes can be the difference between success and failure. You might even find your most profitable business venture yet. Of course, reducing your expenses is something you’ll have to look at during a recession. If you have a dedicated office, it could be time to think about either co-working or going fully remote. You can be creative with how you reduce your expenses, especially if you’re paying for things unnecessarily. There are so many ways you can attract new clients to your business, even during a recession, but keeping your current clients happy is by far the most important thing you can do. These people are already giving your business money, so make sure the recession isn’t the reason they leave you. Your current clients are the ones keeping you afloat. But even more important than your existing clients are your team and employees. You should do everything you can to make sure they’re happy and as comfortable as can be during a difficult financial period. Team-building activities, a reduction in hours instead of pay (if necessary), and extra employee training can all benefit your staff and give them an extra morale boost. Is your business prepared for a recession to hit? Do you have a plan to help navigate through a recession? How do you plan to keep your team motivated when a recession hits?   In This Episode: What a recession is and how it affects your business Why businesses stop growing when a recession hits What the benefit of having a recession plan for your business is Why you need to know everything about your business’s financial status when a recession hits How you can be innovative and adaptive to help your business succeed going through a recession Why you should look at ways to reduce your expenses How to keep your current customers happy and bring in new clients during a recession Why your team is the most valuable asset you have, especially when it’s hard How you can encourage your team to be more motivated through a recession   Quotes: “It’s a recipe for disaster if a recession hits and you’re the business owner who doesn’t know their P&O.” (7:16) “When you don’t adapt, you die. And nobody wants that. Keep your business modern. Provide services in your wheelhouse that your customer needs.” (9:52) “I believe that your customers are valuable but your employees and your team is even more valuable.” (15:07)   Links Use code SIDEHUSTLETOCEO for a discount on your Profit Planner!

Do you know what a Po' boy is? Yeah, I thought I did to. Turns out I was wrong, are you? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/foodinfive/message

    We start by talking about a burnout experience I had a few years ago, and how I recovered. In essence, we're talking about managing your nervous system. Doing so is one of the most important things you can do for your overall health and well-being. There are phases of this experience which Matt details on this show. The first is fight, flight or freeze. The next is impaired decision-making ability and the final phase is mental and physical burn out. Matt shares his experience with burn out and then goes on to explain his current strategy for avoiding a nervous system meltdown. To understand his strategy it's important to first understand some basics about the nervous system. Your nervous system is divided into two parts: the sympathetic (this is where the fight, flight or freeze system comes from) and the parasympathetic (this is where all the healing happens within your body). Going more in-depth, in most instances exercise puts your body into fight or flight mode. This includes things like lifting and running. The exercises that are healing for your body are tai chi and yoga, they activate your parasympathetic nervous system. When you're breathing deep and slowly that activates your parasympathetic nervous system, when your breathing is more rapid your sympathetic nervous system is engaged and you go into fight, flight or freeze mode. Personally, I've been doing breath work for 20 years including meditation. Breathing can change your brain state, belly breathing is a necessary part of this. By allowing your belly to come out with your breath your lungs will open up so you can get fuller and deeper breaths. I start every day by doing a few quick exhales and then long and slow inhales. I do the 10-10-10-10 process which is 10 seconds in, 10 seconds hold and 10 seconds exhale and then 10 seconds with no breath. This is also called box breathing and you can start with just a few seconds (like 4 or 5) and work your way up to 10. Healing The Body to Avoid Burn Out Next, we talk about brain waves and neural feedback. Neural feedback is brain measuring feedback system that feedbacks to you what is happening. It's like a GPS system that trains your brain to hit different states. These different states fall in one of 5 categories, three of which are healing and two of which are fight/flight/freeze. The healing states are alpha which is when you are relaxed but alert, then there is theta which is even slower and deeper than alpha. And the last of these three is delta - that is the state we are in when we are sleeping. On the fight, flight or freeze side, the two states are beta and gamma. Beta is when you are engaged and focused and thinking. Anxiety looks like too high levels of beta. Gamma is a very high spiritual state, it is very powerful and intense but there is a cost to it. We also discuss dopamine levels and blue light from social media and technology, before we move into how to know we are overstimulated and heading towards burn out. One of the big X factors in avoiding burn out is resilience, there is a physical component to this. Matt has worked to increase his through neural feedback and also cleaning out his limbic system. (The limbic system is one component of our nervous systems, it is responsible for our emotions). He has cleaned out his limbic system by facing and healing old emotional wounds. Take for example the person who was bitten by a dog and doesn't like them, even though it's been 40 years since they were bitten. They haven't healed that experience and their limbic system will respond to dogs as if they were about to relive that old experience of being bitten. One way to work on these old emotional wounds and put your nervous system in a more relaxed state is through EFT (the Emotional Freedom Technique), it is also known as tapping. EFT immediately starts to shift your nervous system into parasympathetic. When you tap the specific points in EFT your nervous system shifts over into a parasympathetic state.  You can also do neural feedback, meditation and practicing gratitude. Pay attention to how often you laugh - if you are laughing you are probably in parasympathetic mode. Another piece of avoiding burn out is macro and micro recovery. In general, the harder you want to drive the harder you need to focus on recovery. If you want to drive your body like a race car then you need a really good pit crew and really high-quality components to put your car back together, or you will crash and burn! There are some supplements you can take to help with this. For the fight, flight or freeze, things like coffee, THC, caffeine, etc would fall under this category. But you can stack parasympathetic supplements with sympathetic supplements to counterbalance their effect. Matt talks about which he likes best and why, plus which essential oil has been shown to increase alpha brain waves. You'll also hear how we both healed ourselves with magnesium and why floating was part of that! It's all here on episode 31 of Awesome Health Podcast with Matt Gallant.

Loehr and Tony Schwartz PDF on Flight, Fight or Freeze Masszymes (code cheat10) Read the Episode Transcript : Wade Lightheart: Good afternoon. Good morning and good evening, wherever you are. It's Wade T Lightheart here with my cofounder of BiOptimizers Matty G. I am so pumped about today. Wade Lightheart: We haven't done a podcast together. We haven't done an Awesome health Podcast forever. And crime is pretty much, and we're gonna actually increase these over the next while because you know, Matt is a wealth of information. He's on the bleeding, the literally the bleeding edge. He does bleed literally to kind of optimize his health regularly by taking a variety of blood extractions and testing a lot of different things. We're going to get into that in one of the future podcasts. But today we're going to go kinda back the truck up. We're going to talk about something that every high performer deals with and everybody listening to this is going to deal with this. And that is burnout and its relation to the nervous system. What is the relationship? Because if you're kind of into by optimization, uh, or you know, you call yourself a biohacker or whatever, everybody gets pretty much into that area because their, their mind is writing checks that their body can't cash. Wade Lightheart: Uh, and you know, part of the, uh, pro high performer is to find that balance, that balance between am I performing at a high level and am I destroying my body to do that? And it was kind of cool in the 80s to do that. It's not cool as we move into 2020 it's about I want my cake, I want to eat it too. I want to be a superhuman. And we're on the edge of the evolutionary parts of what it takes to become a superhuman. And most people want to become a superhuman because they recognize, you know, there is that angle that we were getting. We're getting examples of people who are delivering at super high levels, but what is the, what is the components? What do you need to do? What are the daily practices? What are they, what are the things to watch out for? How do you end up in the burnout? How do you destroy yourself? Matty G, what do you gotta say about this right now I've been doing all the talking, let's say on this Matt Gallant: because I'm going to make a bold statement, which we both love to do, which is I think in terms of quality of life, understanding what we're going to be talking about today, probably the most important thing, and we're going to get into that. So there's my bold statement, the most important system in the by for quality of life. That's the topic. Wade Lightheart: All right. Matt Gallant: So let's, so, so wait, let me cue you what for a second. So, you know, just a little bit of background. Wait, I've been friends for what, 20 years, a long time. And uh, we went through something a couple years ago that I, I've never seen him go through that in our relationship. And it was incredible, you know, less than, I mean, I always love learning from other people's mistakes. And, uh, we had, you showed me again in a lot of things of what not to do and it was really powerful and, and, and I was thinking about that the other day in aspire, today's topic. So why don't you share what happened and the aftermath of that. And I think it'll, it's a perfect segue into the today's conversation. Wade Lightheart: Yeah. Great. So I'm going to talk about the deep level or the deep cost of, uh, doing more than your physiological capable or, and what are the general go to moves that people make on a consistent basis rationalize, which sets them up for a deep failure. So a few years back, um, so keep in mind, I'm kind of living the, the, what I would call the Tim Ferris lifestyle, the quote unquote four hour work week. Nobody actually works the four hour where we, but you know, I'm traveling around the world, I'm living where I want to live, I've got multiple online businesses and then everything is kind of, you know, going along and you kinda just assume, but what happens inside any business, there are certain components where you've got to get laser focused. You've got to adapt to new skills, you've got to develop new capabilities. And there's an easy assumption, especially in today's world where we kind of, we all think that we can do multiple things, you know, 50 different things because of all the digital technology. Wade Lightheart: But there's a certain point in our biology where we don't adapt to these, what I would call silicone brain and our carbon brain or carbon brand is the one we were born with. The silicone brain is the extension and right now there's a lot of input data that's coming in in the nervous system, especially if you're running businesses and when you go up in business there's more data coming in. So I ran into this trouble and so what my answer was is, well I'll just work more. Okay. So I can remember it started, I was in Bali and uh, you know, I'm running a company that I'm, I'm in kind of startup mode over there. I've got on one business that's kind of in steady mode and then I've got BiOptimizers which is going into grow like extreme growth mode. And as you can imagine, those are three different stages of business that don't actually match. Wade Lightheart: And so I'm doing mornings with one business partner, uh, early. More like I'm a meeting with him doing that stuff. I'm doing my regular business, my kind of cashflow business in the afternoons and I'm staying up till like three four 30 in the morning. So I'd sleep three hours, wake up, do one business, go for a massage in the afternoon, come back, go to work again, sleep for an hour and a half, wake up and then work the evenings. And it all looked like it would go right. So after a couple months of that, I was really starting to pay the price and what I'm doing to, to manage that. As I'm upping, I'm increasing my caffeine take, I'm increasing my new tropics so that my brain is focused. So I, I feel like I'm laser and for some things you are, and I feel like I've got the energy cause I do, but it's like paying your mortgage off with their credit card, your, your, you've got your mortgage at 5% interest, which is manageable maybe over 30 years. Wade Lightheart: And then you've got your credit card bill, which is at 19.99% so I'm paying the 5% with the 19.99 so that the deficit is growing. Like if you've been in New York city and you've seen that deficits sign of how much the national debt is going, that's a great example. And only you're doing this not just with money, you're doing this with your physical energy units and still kind of manageable. So I move to Panama because I'm like, you know, I can't handle it. It's the time zone. You know, if I would just in the one time zone, now keep in mind, Matt and I are living about eight and a half minute walk from each other. And over the course of, I believe it was four and a half months, Matt and I saw each other physically five times. Okay? Like we're best friends, we're hanging out all the time. Wade Lightheart: I only got time to see him and, and he's, and what happened is I'm, I'm still burning and I'm still going. I'm still trying to do all these things. And what happened is the unexpected happened. I had a problem in my growth business and that was a challenge with my partner. And there was a bunch of challenges that came up. And that's the piece that takes you out. It's the unexpected where you've got to go to another level and solve problems. You haven't. So, well, guess what? That's when I ran out of gas and literally physiologically I was burnout. Um, it didn't matter how much caffeine I was taking, it wasn't helping. It was also putting me in an unresourceful psychological state and unresourceful emotional and, and, and at the very low point, uh, Matt and I went for dinner at a restaurant. He like, Hey bro, how's it going? Wade Lightheart: And I said, yeah, you know, I'm, I'm living in hell and I can go back years and years before. Um, when I was competing, and Matt could comment on this. In 2003, I went through a similar process. I was running my personal training business. I was preparing for the Mister universe contest and I had a serious problem with the relationship with and my relationship partner was addicted to drugs and creating a lot of havoc. And even though I broke up that was dealing with all these other X factors that you can't plan, plan on. And that set me up for the big burnout after mr universe. I was able to maintain that level for nine and a half months, but eventually the wheels came off and it was another six, seven months before I recovered from that. And I had to get rid of some things. Wade Lightheart: And so how do you handle this? The question is, and so how do you handle this? And, and for me it involved, uh, I had to go off caffeine completely. I stopped coffee. Um, I had to stop putting hard stop times on when I was working, when I wasn't working. Uh, I had to start taking vacations. I wasn't taking vacations, you know, the, the four hour work week, it looks like you're on vacation, but you're really not, you're, you know, or that kind of digital nomad lifestyle. And, uh, and then I had to take a hard look about my own skillsets based on where the growth I wanted to experience in my own business. So how do I, how do I become more efficient and more effective at new things? How do I let go of things that I'm not good at? How do I improve the physiological recovery components in my body, which we're going to get into here. Wade Lightheart: And what are the things do I gotta drop that's maybe, you know, how do I get out of the credit card paying the mortgage debt from an energy kind of standpoint? So that's where I was. I implemented a lot of new things. One of the, you know, one of the big things that getting off the caffeine, cranking magnesium, uh, to, to, to, to, you know, literally the toilet, the toilet experience where you're, you're watching, you know, cause that's one of the big nervous system burners, uh, essential fatty acids and things like that. So yeah, that was, that was my perspective perspective. Quickly, we'll dive into a little bit more of a, Matt, you want to add to that from your perspective cause you're on kind of the outside looking in and you know me pretty well. Wade Lightheart: Yeah. You know, it was um, first of all I understood why you were doing what you were doing. Uh, I think it was again, a lot of things you could have done differently, which was pretty much we're going to talk about today. All the different things that you can do. Just to zoom out. What we're really talking about is managing your nervous system and we're gonna say managing, cause I like it better than balancing balancing. What does that really mean? So, um, managing nervous system is probably one of the most important things to avoid waiting experience or to avoid the slot zone. Cause if you go to the other mode of just, and I've got friends that are stuck in that zone too, which is not good. Um, or they're just kind of relaxing for years and they're not technically retired. But anyways, so hold on her topic. But we're really talking about managing nervous system. Wade Lightheart: And when I was looking at Wade, he was cranking, cranking, cranking. Then I first thing I think the first system that went offline was probably his emotions. Um, you know, again in, we're gonna talk about kind of the different set of emotions in the different parts of nervous system, but he shifted completely to fight or flight or freeze zone emotionally. And then the, the mental capacity started dropping. Just the kind of decisions you were making, waiters, the way you were thinking. I'm like, you know, I know, I know you enough to know that that's not the thought you would've had prior. And um, so that was the kind of the next phase. And then you kind of like, you described, you went to hell. And then just to make this more real on a numbers level, I have this neurofeedback system at home and at wired Wade's brain to it. Wade Lightheart: And the amount of electricity in Wade's brain in that moment was about a quarter of my friend who's 76 years old. Like, like he is, you know, we're not gonna say he was brain dead, but it wasn't far away. On an electrical level, literally. Um, and, and for those of you that don't understand that that's a lot of your, your states in your mind and how you think come from electrical energy. So Wade had literally like just burnt out. The electrical energy is brain plus his body weight. It took you what, like a year to bounce back from that, you know, like, like on all levels. Like you, you kind of were coming and I I was seeing you come back online again first. Uh, your, your executive functioning, your brain and then your emotions, but it took you about a year. Is that right? Wade Lightheart: Yeah, it uh, I would say yeah, probably a good year. Yeah, it was about, it was about 12 months to recovery and, and going back, say when I had my other burnout in 2003, that was a six month recovery period. It was actually actually if I look all told it would be nine months, cause there was the three months of catastrophic rebound rug gained all the weight and things like that, which is usually a sign of adrenal fatigue. You start just putting on weight and can't kick get it off, that's a, that's a good indication that you're, you're tracking in the wrong direction. It's kind of like the fat cat businessman image that we all have in our minds. And um, and so this time it was about a year. So you're looking at, if you look at the age difference, there was an extra three months of recovery even though I had way more tools than I had back then. So you're probably looking at a two X Wade Lightheart: factor just with the age. Um, and my rationalization for it. No. I want to be quick about, before we get into the mechanics, the rationalization was as it is, you know, my mentality is just go in and take on as much as you can until you blow. And when you blow, you get really laser clear with kind of painful realities of what's working and what's not working. I'm not recommending that strategy. It's a strategy that I've done to make quantum jumps and I feel I made that quantum jump now. But you can avoid that. You can avoid that. Matt, what's your, what's your comments on that as far as how you kind of look at it cause you're kind of a hyper growth oriented person and in far as burnouts in your own life of what you've had and what you and why you've kind of aggravated there the way that you approach things now. Wade Lightheart: Yeah, I think, um, I only really hit one burnout, which was in my twenties there was a lot of like micro things. So, but in my twenties I decided to do a crazy experiment of sleep deprivation and work a holism to the max. So I got up to, I was doing 80 hours a week in the gym, like literally 80 hours in the gym working. I was a trainer, plus I was training twice a day. Plus I was recording a hard rock album, plus I was learning marketing. So I was doing all these things at a time and I'm like, okay, well I need to sleep less. How old were you at this time? Um, was 25 photos on that later or probably had much more severe consequences. So I'm like, okay, I need to sleep less. So let me start cutting my sleep back by 15 minutes, like every week or so. Wade Lightheart: So starting out like seven hours and six and a quarter, six and a half and five and then I, you know, and then it got to the point where it was a really interesting thing. I think around the five hour Mark, like I had to drink water nonstop to stay awake. Like if, if I, if I got even like 1% dehydrated I would just crash. The other thing too is like you get so sensitive with food, like certain foods would make me crash instantly. So you know that was kind of interesting experiment cause every little thing would either just throw me off or keep me going. But I, I just crashed and burned and our thicker on four hours and 25 minutes or 15 minutes at four, four and a quarter is when I ended the experiment had declared unsuccessful and then read a book called power sleep and went the other way and it took me, it took, I think it took me like four months and, but I wasn't using caffeine, thank God. Wade Lightheart: But, um, I hadn't discovered caffeine at that point. It took me I think four months of sleeping around 10 hours a day to, of recover from that and then then my sleep kind of normalized. But that was it. So since that time, you know, I've become very, very hyper aware of, okay. You know, there's all these signs that I look for including, um, you know, my executive functioning starts dropping. In other words, my capacity, how I feel, um, I'm not enjoying work as much. And that's a classic sign too, from like over training, even in the gym, like you're training really hard and you just, it starts to feel like a chore. That's a scientifically that, okay. Time to back off. Um, so I've got all these different signals. Plus I use like the oral ring so I can see my HRV and my heart rates. Wade Lightheart: So, you know, that starts getting out of whack. I know my nervous system is stressed. We'll talk more about that in a second. But yeah, so, so my strategy now, and you know it, we'll talk about how to change this permanently too. Cause I used to kinda hit a red line maybe three, four times a year now. Okay. I got to go on vacation versus now, I can't remember the last time I hit, it's probably been like a year and a half, two years now. Like there's still like a yellow zone on the heart, on the RPMs that, uh, that I'll hit, you know, a couple of times. But I don't tend to get red. And like I used to. And a lot of it's because of the stuff we're going to talk about. So I just want to zoom out and break down what we're talking about. Wade Lightheart: So we're talking about the nervous system, which divides into two. So you have the parasympathetic system, which we're going to call the healing system of the body. Okay. And it's a very accurate description because all the healing happens in that zone as far as your body's concerned. Then there's the sympathetic nervous part of the nervous system, which is fight, flight, or freeze. So let's just go back to the caveman days. And there is a cyber saber tooth tiger chasing you. You need to activate your fight, flight or freeze system a hopefully fight or flight kicks in. Cause if you freeze your dead, um, but either you're running really fast or you're gonna fight this threat and that's a huge part of, you know, survival. Right? And really it's kept us alive. And if it wasn't for that, probably, uh, there'd be no humans [inaudible] ology these, these are, these are things that are built over millions of years in your nervous system that are intrinsic with being a human. Wade Lightheart: It really intrinsic with being an animal. You can see that in a dog or cat. Like, you know, the, these are all part of the animal brain. I mean really we're talking in bacteria will recoil against a toxic substance, right? It's flighting from it. You know, you took a single cell organism with mercury and it recoil. So it's built rate into every cellular system that we see today. Just kept us alive. So, so just for the purpose of this podcast, we're going to talk about the healing system and we'll just call it the fight or flight system. Um, so you know, again, when there is a threat, just to go one level deeper here, when there is a threat, there is again three potential responses, which is, you know, I'm gonna fight this thing. I'm going to run away from this thing or I'm going to freeze like a deer in the headlights, which is probably the worse option. Wade Lightheart: So that's again, the fight or flight. So let's go through different things in different parts of the body and we're going to kind of, uh, organize them in different categories. And by the way, there's a P O one page PDF that you can look at that'll show you this as bioptimizers.com/nervous system and you'll be able to see what I'm about to walk us through. So let's start with exercise. And exercise is primarily fight or flight. So when you're lifting weights, that's a fight or flight response. You're playing sports, it's a fight or flight response. Even things like running, I mean, you're literally like it's flight, right? Like you're running. Now on the healing side, there are some exercises and two that come to mind is, is tide CI and yoga. So Tai-Chi is this really slow type of, of movement that again, with the breathing and just this slow movement activates your parasympathetic, uh, or in your healing part of your nervous system. Wade Lightheart: So I haven't done Tai Chi. I've done a lot of yoga. And yoga is really interesting because it's really, you know, it kind of physically intense, but because you're breathing and really slowing down the breadth and breadth is a huge part of managing your nervous system. And we don't want you to talk about your breathing techniques in a, in a minute cause you've been a lot of that. But when you're breathing deep and slowly, that activates the healing part of the nervous system. If I start hyperventilating, that activates my fight or flight response. And that's what happens when you're fight or flight. You know, you start hyperventilating because you're trying to get more oxygen to the brain. So anyways, Wade, maybe talk about the breathing stuff and we'll, we'll get into meditation in a second. But uh, I know you've done a little bit of yoga and I know that you do a lot of breathing exercises almost every day. Wade Lightheart: So maybe talk about the breath and how you use it to change your nervous system. Yeah, I agree. Great points. So, and I will make one caveat in regards to yoga. Some of the newer forms of yoga are what I would stay more into the fight or flight stuff. So when you get into the stuff like the power yogas and things like that, which are outside of maybe the classical styles that were cultivated in India, cause you know, yoga has got all these branches are now moving more to an exercise format. And those, I'm not saying I'm not discounting that they're valuable as an exercise, but they will not give you that parasympathetic response the same way. So let's talk about healing. Um, with the breathwork. So I've been doing breathwork literally for the last 20 years and through meditation and you learn a lot of different things about breathwork. So the breathing is, and we talk about this in the awesome health course. If you haven't downloaded or got involved with the health of melted RV, we actually go really, really deep on this where I can share with you exactly how you do these things. Wade Lightheart: Breathing is the only thing that you do, both consciously and unconsciously. In other words, you can think about your breathing and change its rate either faster or slower or it happens unconsciously. And for most people it's unconscious. You don't ever think about it. It just happens unless of course you're under water and suddenly here without it, then it's like, Oh, um, so what was discovered in ancient forms of practice and going back at least 6,000 years, maybe even beyond that, is that you could change your brain state, your focus ability. And now that's all been proven through science. That was kind of a lot of thought of airy fairy ideas by these kind of mystical people that you know were funny. Beards and roads and stuff and well it actually has now been proven by science. Thank you to the Dalai Lama who I think brought a lot of advanced, uh, breathwork people are meditators to the world of science so that we could actually track and see how their brains look in their brains look very different than the ordinary person. Wade Lightheart: And one of the ways they do this is by practicing and breathing. So there's a couple of things to do now. What's interesting in Eastern philosophy, the exhale is the start of the breath. And what the exhale process does is it takes carbon out of the system. And by de carbonating. The blood is actually what creates the healing component. The oxygen component will come on by itself, but by starting with the exhale, a conscious exhale, then when the oxygen comes in, then you're going to load up your hemoglobin a lot more, carry more oxygen into. If you carry more oxygen inside the cell without a like a rapid kind of breathing, that's what switches you over into the healing side of the nervous system of the parasympathetic. So all breathing practice would start out with maybe some short quick breasts like and then a slow or even a double in. Wade Lightheart: Here we go and take us short and then a slow so that you actually start to train your body to take a deeper breath and to lower part of lungs is mostly when you're sitting, you're getting about 30% of the oxygen inside your body. The other piece that you need to learn to, which is counter to my bodybuilding world, is to learn how to belly breathe. So, fortunately when I was a kid, um, I had a world-class music teacher and they taught us how to belly breathe and belly breathing is where you actually let your belly come out even while you're sitting. And what that does is that opens up your lungs so that you can get fuller, deeper breasts. Now I know bodybuilding, which I learned years later, is you're always trying to keep your stomach in. So you think about a bodybuilder wear to the beach, right? Wade Lightheart: Cause he's holding that in. So practicing learning to let your belly on the inhale as opposed to inhaling through the chest, which is what most people think they do there. It's got, you know, it's kind of like this way as opposed to slower down, deeper inside your body. And even the top musical people, if you go to Roger loves a course, I think he's the best speaking a coach in the world. He spends a lot of time on teaching you how to breathe. That's how the best musicians make the best sounds and get that deep resonant voice that you hear through singing is how you belly breathe. And so what I do, I start every day. I do some quick exhales, right? I do some quick exhales and then I do long and slow inhales. I'll start off with the process. I call it the 10 10 10 10 program, which is 10 seconds in tech, 10 seconds, hold 10 seconds, exhale, 10 seconds with no breath. Wade Lightheart: Now when you start that out, you're probably only going to do maybe three or four seconds and what's interesting is you'll start to realize is that you don't have the lung capacity, you, it feels like you don't have the lung capacity to hold your breath. It's particularly on the exhale more than three or four seconds and there's a panic part which indicates that your in sympathetic nervous system as you go through this, and sometimes it's called box breathing, you know it's what your, each breath is the same amount. By doing that, imagine a foresight at breath that the, you know, your exhale and then your inhale and then your hold and then your exhale and leave. Each one of those are the sides of a box. Okay. Those, if you're doing five seconds or 10 seconds or however long, those are going to indicate how quickly you get into sympathetic. Wade Lightheart: And usually once you get over that between five and 10 seconds, if you can get into that range, you're going to be moving into sympathetic nervous system, or excuse me, parasympathetic nervous, out of sympathetic into parasympathetic, so out of fight or flight into healing. And think about this. When you're in a stressful situation, let's say something's coming up or you're going to go on stage to speak, or you've got a fight coming up or something stressful is coming in, what do people naturally do? They go, you know that you, you instantly do this. And so what you're doing is consciously leveraging that response, slowing it down so you don't go into that adrenal fight or flight vote. And now one last piece before we kick it over to Matt is there's a lot of different ways that you can do this and there's various techniques where you start actually working in feeling the energy revolve inside your system. And that's what people are talking about, chi or prana. And as you deeply meditate, you actually get to feel these systems that aren't available to us. But when I was in the middle of my fight or flight craziness was literally the first time in 20 years that I wasn't able to do my meditations. Wade Lightheart: I literally couldn't do my meditations because I wasn't able to escape the fight or flight mode. It was so ingrainly deep. And that was of course a extremely painful. Matt Gallant: So there's also, first of all there's a lot of different breeding techniques and what we do is great and it does get a lot of benefits to clearing out CO2 and and different things. Um, I got wired to a medical grade breathing HRV machine. So let me just talk about heart rate variability for a second because it's probably the most useful number to manage your nervous system, your age, your heart rate variability. HRV is the best indicator to see where you're at in which direction you're going in. So what that means, it's actually the time in between the heart beats and going back to breathing. When you inhale, you will typically see a shortening of the time. Matt Gallant: And then when you're exhaling that it, it goes a little longer. Now if you're stressed out, there is no, there's very little variability. That means the heartbeat is like kinda like a piston. I remember thinking is not a good thing. No, it's not means your body's stress versus if I'm breathing and I'll talk with the kind of the metric breathing naturally, I'll just call it. Uh, I should see massive variability, which by the way, a couple of tools to measure that. One is the o-ring, which I have one right here that kind of gives me my score for the night. I can see kind of a graph of what happens to my heart rate variability. Um, and another one, which is more of a real time is called the buyer strap. So we'll put a link, um, and, and the again bioptimizers.com/nervoussystem so you can see the, the links and perhaps invested in was quick, quick, quick question, which do you prefer? Wade Lightheart: Um, for what reason? The bio strap versus the oura ring. I think that's a good distinction. Matt Gallant: I like, I liked the oura ring for measuring how fried my nervous system is in the morning. I think. I think it's got a better set of metrics and algorithms, but the buyer strap, um, let's, I want to do something and just see what my HRV is or again, it's not just HRV, it's got a bunch of metrics. I can't do that with the o-ring. So the bio strap for like more real time. I, let's say you want to do an experiment, see, Hey, how did that affect my HRV? Literally two minutes you push a button and two minutes later you get a score. So I like both of them. I use them for different things. But so that's a good question. So anyways, HRV is the most important thing. Going back to this machine that I got wired to. The way it works is you, you do these different breathing times and again, it's not a box breath. It's you know, either four seconds usually starts four seconds and four seconds out, five seconds in, five seconds out. Like you fold the system and then it tells you exactly what your optimal breathing pace is to maximize HRV. In other words, to relax your body. And for me, for an example, it was like six and a half seconds. So in other words, if I just breathe like Matt Gallant: I mean no, no holding and no pressure, no pushing. Cause it was interesting if I, if I kind of like, cause I did, I've done a yadda, a lot of yoga and yoga you do like you kind of like, you know, kind of squeeze your throat a little bit to push the bread out a little slower. If I did that, it would actually stress out my nervous system a little bit. So again, there's a lot of different breathing techniques. I'm just sharing this one. So for most people's like five, six seconds just in out, um, no, nothing for his big belly breath like Wade said, those, those things work. So anyways, that, that I think covers exercise. There's a lot of other stuff to talk about. But this is a great segue into brainwaves. Matt Gallant: So both Wade and I have done several rounds of medical wiring level, neuro feedback. So what is neurofeedback? It is a brain measuring feedback system. You get these electrodes wired to your brain and they feed back to you what's happening. So if you're doing the right thing, you get a a reward in the form of these beautiful audio tones. And if you're doing the wrong thing and go silence, your brain's like, Whoa, that didn't work. Let me try something else. And when you're doing the right thing, you're like, Oh, okay, that's what I need to do. Let me do more of that. So think of it kind of as a GPS. If you're driving around and you head on on the wrong street, the GPS has a turnaround. Um, that's basically how it is. But you're training your brain to hit all these different States. Matt Gallant: So there's five major groups of brainwaves and there's three of them that are in the healing side, and two are more on the fight or flight side. So on the healing side, yet alpha, which is relaxed but alert. And then that's a great kind of first goal for meditators is to reach that state. Um, then if you slow your brain waves down even more to I four to seven Hertz, then you hit feta, which is a lot slower and much deeper state. And then if you slow it down even more, which is what we hit when we sleep also is about zero to four Hertz. That's Delta. So if you think about how much healing, how, like all the healing in your body pretty much happens when you're in Delta. Deep sleep, most of it, right? Your growth hormone, your testosterone, all your hormones get produced in that phase. Matt Gallant: So again, going back to that's the healing side now on the fight or flight side, yeah, beta. So right now we had an hour in beta, we're engaged, we're focused, we're thinking, and you know, if, if beta goes too high in the wrong places, the brain, that's what anxiety looks like. That's what happens. It's like your brain has too many, uh, the of these beta brain waves and you know, we all know people like that. They're kind of stuck in that mode. You know, the way I would describe these people is they sleep. They, you know, that's the only time they're in parasympathetic, the only time during healing and they fall asleep. And most of them actually, if you have a lot of beta usually is bad sleep. It's a whole other topic. And then they wake up, they go right to beta, have a cup of coffee, go, you know, and then they fall asleep at night and then they repeat that cycle and they, they, they're kind of stuck into those two zones. Wade Lightheart: Can, can you talk about, cause I see this happening so much more with the role of digital devices now, and you could talk about blue light or stimulus and, and all that sorta stuff, which is, you know, Dr. Cruz talks a lot about this stuff. What's your take on all that and, and, and the role of technology of keeping us locked into beta and also maybe people not getting out into nature. Wade Lightheart: Yeah. That's, um, let me just finish the fight or flight on the brainwaves and we'll, we'll segue right into that. Cause it's a perfect segue. So the last wave I'll put in fight or flight is gamma, which gamma is an incredibly high spiritual state. Like you just kinda have this universal connection with higher power would say it that way. And one of our mutual friends, um, we named his name just to protect his anonymity, but he has the highest gamma that's ever been recorded at one of these brain, uh, facilities. And, you know, it fries him. I mean, it's a very, very intense brainwave. I mean, it's very intense. It's very powerful. It's incredible spiritual, but there is a cost to it. So, so that's why I kind of put in fight or flight anyways because the, a lot of psychics and stuff in that zone, I would think. Wade Lightheart: Or they kind of, you know, it's kinda like the wizard on the movie that pulls off the magic spell and then they're kind of wiped out on the song. It's kinda like, well, all right. So just to be completely unfiltered, um, one of our main spiritual mentors, David Hawkins, it does a lot of stories like this. They kind of had these massive spiritual jumps. Now, in my opinion, what's happening physiologically based on what we currently know is they have this massive, massive gay gamma Brae burst like a gamma burst on stars. They're just like, they're the same GAM all the time. And what we know with these experiences is that it takes them years in order to learn how to live with that, learn how to manage that and for do a Cawkins took them about seven years, um, at cart, totally three years anyway. It was all come on him or her Rishi didn't talk for years. Wade Lightheart: You can look through the histories of these kind of advanced mystics who been floated. Most of them go through this period where they're just, they're just not functional in the world at all. And I think a lot of it is learning to, to function with gamma, learn it that, you know, having the nervous system respond and adapt so that it had been as back to your question, um, first of all is, so let's segue to your transmitters and then we'll segue into your question because the neurotransmitters are the explanation to your question. Correct. So on the healing side, we have four main treat neurotransmitters. We have serotonin, which gets released when you eat sugar. That's one of the reasons people eat a lot of sugar because it makes them feel a little more relaxed. We have endorphins, which, you know, if you go to the gym it's kind of the rewards you get afterwards. Wade Lightheart: Running long distance biking. Endorphin highs. Matt Gallant: We have oxytocin, which is kind of the, the love molecule. When you first started dating someone first 12 months, there's a huge, or when a woman gives birth to a baby through the birth canal is the biggest boost of oxytocin. There is, I think. Right. And also that's why women love cuddling after sex. Cause there's a big oxytocin release and then there's an end of mine, which is the bliss molecule. So all four of those are more and bliss potential, easier in fight or flight. But those are on the healing side. And then on the fight or flight side, we have adrenaline, noradrenaline, and dopamine. So if we look at technology and you know, all the phones and all the apps, they are, they are hijacking or dopamine system. So every time you get notifications that's activating dopamine, your brain feels like, Whoa, Hey, I'm a little bit important. Matt Gallant: Somebody reaching out. Somebody liked something, somebody messaged me. And when people are messaging you and commenting on your stuff or liking your stuff, that is releasing dopamine every single time. So most of us, and I'm not immune to this, we're all trapped in these dopamine loops to various levels. And you know, there's a lot of things we can do to manage that. Um, and some people again are really completely lost in it. Now blue light is, is actually more fight or flight. We know this because it's designed to wake us up, right? When somebody hit our eyes, it's like go time versus you know, other colors of light like orange and the reds or more relaxation. And you know, if for those of us that wear blue light blocking glasses, we know that our brain starts just shutting down and downregulating. So that's the price on your nervous system of using these devices in a perfect world, probably three hours, four hours before bed. Matt Gallant: You just, you just get off the phones and the iPads. Your other thing too is that, ah, sorry, TVs, TVs. I mean old TV watching TV is an alpha. It actually increases alpha. It's where a lot of people like watching TV. I like watching TV. For me it's a good segue. Now the light is a different story, which I can hack with glasses. Now obviously depends on what I'm watching. If I'm watching horror movies and Rambo and commando and whoever, shoot, that's more dopamine, right? That's going to, so what you're watching is going to influence your neurotransmitters. Correct. But I like why wearing glasses couple of hours before bed. And that will again tell my brain to, it's nighttime, let me shut things down. But there's also the effects of wireless waves. So Bluetooth, wifi and what it seems to be doing is increasing dopamine. So even even just the, the waves that are blasting us nonstop, right. If I put my phone, probably 15 wifi that I can catch with my phone. So, and there's all kinds that I'm not seeing. Right. Um, so those waves seem to be increasing dopamine. So we have w the, the dopamine from the apps that dopamine from the blue light and the dopamine from all these singles. So it's not, it's no mystery that people are being hijacked from this stuff. Wade Lightheart: Yeah. Powerful information. Okay. So here's the stressors. How do we get it? So what are some physical indications that you've seen? If you could maybe walk me through some stages that people might notice when they're becoming overstimulated and headed to run down. What would you say from your observation? Cause you know, you've, you've dealt with a lot of high performers, you've coached a lot of high performers in you, you're pretty much surrounded by high performers. I was like what do you, what did you notice that they've given you feedback as well? Matt Gallant: So, well one of the big X factors of whether you burn out or not is resilience. So we could do a whole podcast on resilience cause it's a really interesting thing. Um, and resilience is primarily an emote. It's more of a limbic system thing. Now there's a physical component. Resilient. How tough are you in your pretty example wave? You know, you're as tough physically as, as anyone else I am that I know. But you know, one of the things that I've done, um, to to like probably increase my resilience, I'm going to say like 500%, maybe more in the last four years has been the neurofeedback but, but it's more specifically I'm cleaning out my limbic system. So you have all these, Wade Lightheart: when you say w when you say limbic system for our listeners, what do you mean by the limbic system? Matt Gallant: Okay. So the limbic system is one of the components of our nervous system. Okay. So it's kind of a sub component of it and that's where all of our emotions, so the emotional part of our nervous system is the limbic system, we'll just call it the emotional system. So we had this emotional system and when we see things that are similar to other painful experiences that we've had in the past, and if these painful experiences are not healed, okay, heal is the key word. If they're not healed, we will feel you're threatened by that experience or something similar. That experience for exactly whatever this, this thing that's in front of me that's reminding me of that thing that was painful. I go right to fight or flight, right, right. To fight, flight or freeze. I mean it's immediate because, and, and a great example, and we all know people that been bitten by dogs and you know, they're 40 50 60 years old, they'll still be scared of that, of that dog, even if it's like a small little dog. Wade Lightheart: A dog comes into the elevator, there's sweat, perspiration comes up, their tension comes up, the heartbeat adrenaline response. If you were to look at that, it's pretty significant. Or someone that's been in a car accident, they get in the car again and all of a sudden they start having a physiological response. Matt Gallant: Yeah. And it's very true even on micro levels. So for an example, you know, your mother told you, uh, you know, your grades aren't good enough. You know, like one of the things my dad told me like one time I hit like 96 and he's like, where's the other four? And that was something that I had to, to identify and heal because it was kinda driving the perfectionism in me and, and it was so, so there's a whole consequence cascade of consequences that can literally lead to character defects and sometimes character assets. Matt Gallant: Uh, and I love Joe Dispenza, us models on that. But going back to healing, one of the things that works incredibly well is EFT. So EFT immediately starts shifting your nervous system into parasympathetic. It's a very, very fast response because you're hitting these nine points. EFT stands for emotional freedom technique by the way. Correct. And there's probably more commonly known now as tapping. So you have these points you have, and if you're watching the video, you have this karate chop point, top of the head, top of the I side, below the eye, below the nose, below the lips, right where the crease in the chin, his collar bone, and then ribs. And when you tap these points, you're, your nervous system literally shifts over, which, so if I bring up and I like guide, I'm actually certified and I've guided people countless times to do this and I've never seen it not work. Matt Gallant: And I'm talking about like bringing up really painful experiences and shifting from, Oh wow, that was a really traumatic experience too. I'm at peace with it. I mean, big ones might take 15 minutes, but usually it's like five minutes. And for me, because I've done it so much, um, it's probably like 60 seconds, two minutes sometimes. So it's really good a thing. Probably one of the best sites to learn is that www, EFT, universe.com, or you can go to YouTube, just countless videos. So that's one thing. Um, the other thing you can do is neurofeedback, which again we talked about, so we don't really have time to talk with. That'd be a whole other podcast. Um, you know, meditation is definitely parasympathetic and, and you know, especially again, if you hit as soon as you hit alpha, you're in healing mode. So alpha theta you hit start handies a slower brain waves and that's the people that are stuck in beta all the time. Matt Gallant: If they could just learn to shift their brain waves over to a slower mode, they're are going to start healing. Um, so things you can do when you meditate that are highly effective. And again, these are different emotions that are parasympathetic, that are healing. One of them is gratitude, which is this at this point is extremely highly researched. Um, if you're actually feeling gratitude, you're in parasympathetic, you are in healing mode. You cannot, and I'm not talking about saying thank you verbally. I'm talking about feeling gratitude in your heart, in your body. If you're feeling that sensation, you are definitely in healing mode. There's no two ways about it. There's a lot of new techniques that people are talking about is starting the day by doing a gratitude list or sharing your gratitude list or what you're grateful for getting this as a practical implementation because a lot of people don't really feel gratitude, you know, in the world today, even though as humans listening to this podcast, we're in the top 1% of humans in history of the planet, most people are focusing on what they don't have as opposed to what they are. Wade Lightheart: And that that's the comparison problem is, is real and present and bring yourself back to that gratitude practices is a great, is a great thing. Yeah. Um, happiness in general. So you know, if you're feeling happy probably in parasympathetic joy, which you can kind of measure with laughter, which is one of the things I kind of pay attention to is like how much am I laughing? And if I, if I'm not laughing, I'm probably in fight or flight. Like, you know what I mean? Whatever. If I'm laughing a lot that I know I'm in a good space first my nervous system goes and if I notice that I haven't, I'm not really laughing. You know what I mean? Uh, and it's one of the things I look for in people too. Are they laughing a lot or do not laughing and I can kind of gauge where they're at, um, feeling, you know, peace, serenity. Matt Gallant: Obviously if you're feeling peace and serenity, serenity now as they said in Seinfeld, then yeah, you're in parasympathetic versus you know, fear, anger. Obviously those are total fight or flight or freeze emotions and then even drive like, you know, getting stuff done like Wade, you burn, you are burning yourself thought necessarily fear and anger for you is dry. That, that intense willingness. So you know, and I spend probably like eight hours of my day, sometimes 10, sometimes 12 in that zone. And it's just something to be mindful of. Is that, yeah, when we're driving hard on our projects or business or jobs or careers that you know, that his fight or flight like and it's a low level or fight or flight, I mean sometimes it's high level if you're really dealing with a lot of stress, which goes back to resilience, but you know, driving this is a fight or flight thing. So any comments on that Wade? Because again, that's really what took you out. Yeah. Wade Lightheart: I think there's also part of the representation of it comes down to what is valued in your own life and, and not understanding the recovery to drive ratio and how the, the harder you drive, the more to you need to manage your recovery. And uh, there's a great book, the powerful engagement, uh, which really breaks this down about the difference that started off with tennis players. And even though they all had relatively the same level of skills, the guys that were doing these micro arrests were actually dominating the tennis field. And it was an unconscious practice which had all kinds of applications in the business world. And one of the things that I think you were really clear about, um, is your commitment to both micro and macro recovery. You kind of went into that earlier cause you probably hit that burnout zone in your 20s and said, okay, I, and you know, we talked about how you, that became kind of like a, uh, an a breakthrough attention unit and for people who are listening to this podcast, that's what our whole point here is to create a breakthrough awareness level that the harder you want to drive, the more you need to focus on recovery and micro recovery and macro recovery as well Wade Lightheart: recovery components. It's like a race car and F1 formula cart. If you think about it as going around the track at 200 miles an hour and guess what? It needs to be fueled up a lot more than your regular car. It's burning through tires at a lot more than a regular car. Um, so if you wanna drive at 200 miles an hour in your life, you better have a pit crew and you better be putting all the high components or recovery on it or you're going into the wall and you're going to crash and burn. Matt Gallant: So we're, we're, we're about at the end of the, of the show. So I just want to start talking about, you know, supplements and different things that shifted nervous system. Let's start with the easy one. The fight or flight stuff. Um, coffee, you know, any type of stimulant, you know, even the new nicotine, I mean, all of those are, you know, we'll put cocaine, amphetamines, you know, all of that stuff is, is fight or flight or freeze, right? Wade Lightheart: What's your opinion on, uh, all the kind of, uh, cognitive enhancers that you see people using in the digital world. And also in, um, education universities like Ivy league schools and stuff. What would you clarify those and, and it, Matt Gallant: most of them are fight or flight on the Modafinil goals and which the, I would, Daphne knows probably like a two out of 10 cause there's a scale right? Like not everything is just tense. Wade Lightheart: Let's just talk about that because I think there's a lot of people that are using these things. I mean like Ted talk, I talk about the guys on wall street are now on cocaine, testosterone and Aderoll, you know. Matt Gallant: And you don't see testosterone is more of a fight or flight versus estrogen's more healing. So you know, the point is that yeah, like is probably like a seven or eight Modafinil is probably like a two on that, on that fight or flight scale. So there is, you know, again scale. But yeah, almost all the nootropics now there are some exceptions. So let's shift over drug the drug based nootropics. Yeah. But even, yeah, even some of the cleaner stuff. So if we shift over to [inaudible] and so the better blends are a combination of boats or for example LFE is parasympathetic, parasympathetic healing, which counterbalances a lot of the caffeine issues. So you can stack parasympathetic substances with stimulants and have a much more balanced nervous system response versus just going completely fighter flights would. That is a great tip for everybody. Well, just to cover some substances. Matt Gallant: We got reishi, I would probably rate it pretty low on healing, but you do feel a little bit of a shift. El Athenian, one of my favorites, I take about 400 milligrams before bed every night. CBD, CBN, CBG, those are three different cannabinoids. They are definitely on the parasympathetic side versus THC. More fight or flight lavender oil, one of the only oils research to show to increase alpha brainwaves, which is healing. I like taking a actually oral lavender oil before bed. Ashwagandha, I took two grams last night. I was a little wired, um, during the day. Shifted me right over and had a decent sleep. But the one I want to talk about and we'll do a whole podcast on this, uh, because they're gonna run out of time, but it's magnesium in both Wade and I uh, healed ourselves, healed our nervous system using magnesium. Like I got to the point because I was uh, you know, squeezing my drawings too much and my nervous system was literally getting raw. Wade Lightheart: You can burn the myelin sheet off your nerves and I couldn't drink coffee anymore. Like, if I drank coffee, I instantly felt like frazzled. I didn't get to it to the level we'd got, but I'm like, okay, I can't drink coffee anymore. I'm done. So I did a big magnesium cycle for around I think 90 days and around the 60 day Mark I'm like, I felt completely different. I felt kind of permanently relaxed. The magnesium is kind of the, the parasympathetic mineral, you know, nothing shifts you over on a mineral level or a macro. Probably the greatest deficiency out there in North Americans right now is magnesium, I think. I think it's only 32% of the population is getting the RDA levels. And that's not what the optimal level is. Yeah. Because probably there's the hard to get from food. That's the problem. It's almost impossible to eat enough magnesium. Correct. Like it's, that's, that's the fundamental challenge. So even if you're, you know, one of these, Hey, let me try to get the perfect guide going. Um, it's, it's really challenging to do that. So that is the list of, um, parasympathetic and sympathetic. Like I said, go to box.com/nervous system. I've got this entire doc including a couple of things we didn't have a time to cover. Wade Lightheart: We'll add them in and throw in a couple of things. So we'll go a little bit longer. What else can we do? Cause I know you've gone, you spent years in testing, literally has insurance of substance and social unload on us a little bit and give us a little extra bonus. Matt Gallant: Yeah. Um, so I'm going to talk about my favorite favorite thing like which this is about biohacking thing. It's not a substance, but it does relate to magnesium. The number one thing for me, like by a long shot, I've talked a lot about our guys. Joe Rogan's, a huge fan is floating. So floating is a sensory deprivation tank. You're literally floating in this salt magnesium, salt soup. It's made with Epsom salts, which is a magnesium salt and you're floating. The water is the same temperature as your body. It's pitch black. So all your senses get a reset. Like you're not getting stimuli like you normally would. Like even if I'm sitting in this chair, I'm feeling gravity right now, right? Like, my feet are feeling gravity from the floor. My butt's feeling gravity from the chair. But when you're floating, you kind of just not feeling anything. Matt Gallant: You're just, you're not really feeling the water. You don't have light against stimulating your brain. It's really usually completely pitch. There's no sound and you're absorbing magnesium. So I love to float for like 90 minutes. And I mean, the level of shift, like I've gone places. I remember we went in LA, I flew in Venice beach, right? Yeah. Flare crash, got the best tanks. That's the one he makes. Joe Rogan's tax. Um, float labs is a, his company. So I flew to LA. I could tell like my, you know, when I get fried, I get these swollen plans here, the lymph nodes, so I could, I was fried. I said, Hey, wait, let's go. Floats away. And I went floating and after the float, all my, you know, all my glands were, we're back to normal and I felt incredible. So there, there's one thing I could recommend is definitely floating, um, to, to shift over your, uh, nervous system. Wade Lightheart: Chiropractic too. I have a world-class chiropractor, which I'm actually going to go see here in about an hour and a half. Um, is also way that you're able to take relief off the nervous system if you have a really good chiropractor. Of course. Uh, I've got what we call the wizard here in Vancouver. There's a Gary down in LA that his, his whole thing at the human garage, they've got some really great things to switch you into that healing mode. And, and a really good chiropractor will be able to take load off the nervous system. And one of the things that I didn't have on those travels is I didn't have my chiropractor Wade Lightheart: who was always giving me that feedback of where I was. And one of the big recovery modalities that I've experienced is by using chiropractic care. Matt Gallant: I will call it out for a shameless pitch. We have a new product called magnesium breakthrough, which is seven different magnesiums, including cofactors in our humble opinions. It is the best bang museum out there. So what we recommend you do if you're feeling a little fried, a little bit in the fight or flight system, is to take around three doses a day. It is better to spread your dose because if you take too much magnesium at once, you may run to the bathroom because it can disaster. But however, key, powerful note, we formulated this, the minimize that effect. So when we, when we formulated this cause it goes different magnets, some magnesiums pull a lot more water than others. Matt Gallant: Um, we minimize the, the water pulling effect. So we recommend starting off it probably half a gram three times a day and then building up to three grams. So it'd be a grand three times a day. That's probably a good dose. Um, I mean if you really want to push it, you can try to get to like four or five, six grams. That's, that's where I ended up, uh, when I was really healing that thing and got it to five grams, um, and felt incredible. So anyways, that is our new product. Uh, magnesium breakthrough.com. You can go on our sidebar optimizer.com and check it out. So amazing product. Really excited to share this because we know both Wade and I have experienced the, the healing benefits of magnesium. Um, it's, it's incredible. It's literally one of the best supplements that I've ever experienced in terms of real world experiential benefits. And that's why we wanted to do a magnesium product and we didn't want to just do another me too. Magnesium. We wanted to do something special, which we have. So wait, maybe we'll close off your final thoughts on magnesium and your experiences. Wade Lightheart: Yeah, so, uh, I went the, uh, of course I'm an all in kind of guy as you imagined. And what I did is understanding when I was cooked a
