Speaker 1 (00:00):
The following testimonial is from a real Greenbrook t MS patient.
Greenbrook TMS has freed me from crippling depression that I've
lived with form my entire life. After t MS, I
now know what hope truly feels like. T MS therapy
at Greenbrook t MS is a non invasive treatment for depression.
It's helped thousands of people who have tried everything else,
even medication, without success. Greenbrook t MS works for those
(00:22):
with treatment resistant depression. Are you or a loved one
suffering from depression, Well there's all all Greenbrook TMS today
to schedule your free consultation. Welcome back, Welcome back, Welcome
back to the Workout Wednesday podcast. My name is Anthony,
(00:43):
and first off, I'm gonna start with an apology, which
I feel like I've done now three podcasts in a row.
But this apology is not because the podcast is late.
It's it's still Wednesday, so this still counts. I've recorded
this today, but you could probably hear by my voice
it's a little weird. I've somehow been losing my voice.
I feel fine, just the voices coming and going a
little it So if I sound weird, I apologize. Um
and you know it's really cool is the last couple
(01:04):
of days I haven't felt great, just like I think
I got a sinus infection or something. And this is
gonna sound so cheesy, but what did help actually was
going to the gym last night even though I didn't
want to. But I'm doing the whole fifty Days of
Fit thing, which is now day three of fifty days
of Fit, so hopefully you're following along with that. UM,
and I started off the workout not feeling great, but
by the end of the work and I actually felt
(01:24):
better than when I had gotten to the gym. I
think I just needed to get out, move around, get
the blood flowing a little bit, which is just a
good lesson. Sometimes yes, you do need to lay low
and recover, which we will talk about in this podcast
with our special guests, but sometimes you also just have
to get your ass up, get out of your phone,
if you're a little tired, whatever. Once you start moving around,
you actually feel a little better, which is pretty cool. UM.
(01:46):
Today's podcast is weird for me because I wasn't used
to this term low impact training. It makes a ton
of sense. So let's just say good morning, Crosby Taylor,
what's up? Hey, what's up? Man? How are you good? So?
Can you just explain, um to everyone kind of what
you do before we jump into like the full conversation.
What I do is basically inspire people. Get people to
(02:09):
understand that they have the ability to optimize their life,
their health, their their well being through these certain tools
when it comes to reducing your inflammation and stress levels.
Mainly everything from you know, your dietary choices to the
way that you train and work out, um, to the
way that you supplement and use different herbs and those
(02:30):
kinds of things, as well as just lifestyle approach in general, um,
how you can go about certain things to increase your
longevity as well as just feel better now today on
a daily basis. So let's start with the inflammation thing. Yeah,
So I feel like that's something that people don't necessarily
even think about or talk about that often. But reducing
(02:50):
information Like why is that important? Well, I mean bits
of you know, we inflame ourselves on a regular basis,
like uh, when we go to the gym and we
work out. Um, those things, those small bits of inflammation
as well as long as you recover from them, are
actually good things. But when it comes to chronic inflammation,
inflaming yourself on a on a regular basis, when it
(03:11):
comes to bad food choices um as well as like
overtraining without the proper recovery. Those are two of the
biggest issues that people I think are doing on a
regular basis, and they don't even understand. They might think
be thinking they're living in such a healthy lifestyle, but
they're overdoing so many things and then to make up
for it. You know, somebody that's running on the treadmill
(03:31):
six eight ten miles a day and then training and
then you know, barely getting food in their body within
a couple hours after that is putting their body in
this catabolic state to where they're never really recovering and
they're creating this inflammation on a daily basis that we'll
start to break their body down in a lot of
different ways. How does that start to show itself though, Like,
(03:52):
how do people know that that is actually going on?
I think the first the first indicators for anyone is
you know this idea that like, oh, there's a there's
a good soreness where you like feel sore from a workout,
but then there's like the over and flames, I feel puffy,
I'm bloated. Um. You you know, you start to the
symptoms of like bloated face, bloated body, You start to
(04:16):
hold onto water weight more often. UM, you're feeling feeling
achy in the joints and and kind of all over,
and you have a lot of digestive issues because those
kind of set in as well. You know, it's it's
really about that type of person that they have this question,
why am I training so much and not getting the results?
Why am I working out and not losing weight? Um?
(04:38):
And what they're doing is put putting their body in
this stressed out state to where it's going to hold
onto the fat um as opposed to let go of it.
Because of this UM these high inflammation markers as well
as the stress response that's setting in. You know, your
cortisol levels are spiking through the roof on a regular basis,
and the combination of those two things, You're know, the
(05:00):
high courtisol levels and your inflammation will cause your body
to go into the spider flight state where it's going
to hold onto everything possible in order to survive. So
then what do we how do we find the balance people?
I think equate working out harder with losing more weight
or being more fit. So how do you how do
you make sure that you don't overdo it? Well, that's
a good question. It comes down to um the person's
(05:25):
kind of intuition to understand enough is enough kind of thing,
as well as like creating a little bit toned down,
more toned down of a lifestyle to where if they
are having these symptoms, they have to realize that they
can't force it anymore. They have to kind of let
go and let their body do what it needs to
do as opposed to forcing these things. Like people feel
(05:46):
like these last bits of weight that they're trying to
to lose are all about running that extra mile, and
they might actually be about running less miles and just
in this dialing in their their food intake in a
different state. Like I think that a lot of people
that are overtraining are also overcarving over sugaring. You know,
they're they're eating a lot of sugars and starches and
(06:09):
trying to replenish and replace the glycogen that they lost
from that workout, as opposed to maybe doing less, eating
less of those things and focusing more on nourishing good
fats and and moderate levels of protein for the the
amino acids to recover the body, as well as focusing
on a lot of green veggies and the fiber. And
(06:31):
then they get they get their body into more of
a balanced state to where their blood sugar levels are
a little bit more balanced, they're not creating these crazy
spikes in their and their cortisol, and then they're keeping
their inflammation down. And a lot of people are seeing
a lot of my clients that I've worked with. Once
they trust this and they start to work in this
kind of capacity, they have to get way leaner, they
feel better, and they can actually see the difference and go,
(06:54):
oh my god, that a little bit of weight that
I was trying to lose had everything to do with
me letting go of these ideas and these ideals that
I had of how I was supposed to train in
the first place. I mean, I've come from college football background,
and we used to work out four hours a day. Yeah,
I mean when I was in what I was doing
college track, I was doing a sprinting workout, a throwing workout,
(07:16):
and a weight workout every day. And how old are
you then? I was between eighteen and twenty two. So
you're like, hormones are on point, your body is probably
like that's like the pinnacle of your life in terms
of your speed and all those types of things. But
as we get older and and we have different things
coming at us and our bodies breaking down in a
(07:36):
different way, and we might not be eating the best
and we just don't have the capacity to train like
that anymore. That's when higher levels of these you know,
these inflammatory markers as well as your corusol will go
up because you don't have like your muscles aren't what
they used to be, your your joints aren't what they
used to be. You have to actually focus more on
(07:58):
things like your your dietary habits as opposed to this
like overtraining over eating mentality. Because I did it too,
I think that as an athlete, I consider myself an athlete,
but I'm not competing anymore. Your job relies on you
being athletics. So then in that regard, you are still
an athlete, but I'm not going out there and training
(08:18):
like I used to train because I'm not competing for
anything anymore. So my training UM is more based around
the ideas of UM longevity just feeling better on it
on a day to day basis. Aesthetic and keeping you know,
those things intact with the way that I've worked my
lifestyle out is a lot easier this way, in my opinion,
(08:43):
than than the ladder, which is you know what we've
been talking about, in the overtraining capacity. So that's just
kind of how I came to it. Um actually was
from a an old injury from football where I had
a hamstring and so as um issue and that just
kept flaring up on me. And the flare ups were
(09:04):
because every time I had a flare up, it was
because I went out, went all out for a couple
of days and overtrained and didn't get the right nutrients
on my body right away. And I kind of would
getting mad at myself and be like, why can't I
do this anymore? Why can't I just like go ball
to the wall and then fresh food. I was realizing that, like,
after all this stuff and and just getting older in
(09:24):
the nervous system, I just became so sensitive to all
these things, and so I changed my lifestyle in accordance
to that in order to just not feel like that
people listening to the podcast and be like, all right,
that's great for you. You You figured out for yourself and
you help out your clients. But you also the reason
I had you on this podcast is you have a
DVD actually that people can learn from and train with.
(09:45):
So explain what people could find in your DVD. Alright,
So my DVD is like a thirty day Body Transformation
UM focusing on low impact training. Uh, and the focus
is all around. There's actually four parts that are all
about certain lifts. Throw two body groups together at a time,
and you're doing everything from weighted list to static holds,
(10:08):
body resistant stuff, and it's really getting the person to
focus and be present within within each rep um and
to really dial it in so that they can get
the most out of their training in the least amount
of time. As well as the fact that I'm getting
people to understand that our breath is so important throughout
our training as well. A lot of people are at
(10:29):
the gym and they might do like thirty reps in
a row real quick right of like a barbell doing
bicept curls or something, and you could see their like
red in the face because they're they have they've been
holding their breath. I'd rather have somebody do ten of
the cleanest reps possible, slower breathing through it, and creating
such an awareness of the muscle that they're working in
(10:51):
such an isolated form. They're getting the most out of
that with the least amount of spike cortisol spike um
in that stress response. The impact training workout that you have,
what do people need to can they do at their
house or do they have to take it with them
to the gym? How does this all work? Yeah, that's
the cool thing is it's it's you can get it's
a DVD. It's it's also a video download and you
(11:12):
can just download it straight through your computer and all
you need is MATT unless you don't even really care
to have a MATT. You can do it right in
the front of your on your TV at home. And
these are twenty to thirty minute workouts. A couple of
them are paired together, so if you really if you
want to go for it, you can, you know, do
a forty minute workout. But it's everything from the body
(11:32):
weight and the way to lift the static holds to
also a breathwork and um core section as well as
a cardio and stretch section so they can mix and match. Um.
There's a calendar on there, which is kind of cool.
So if they really want to go through it, uh
the way that I've devised it for them, there's a
there's a Monday through through Sunday calendar on there, and uh,
(11:56):
I've been getting like really great response. They've made Amazon um,
Amazon's best choice. Yeah, dude, thank you. And and it's
just I feel like it's just something different that not
a lot of people are doing right now. And where
can people find it? It's on Lincoln Bio, on my Instagram,
which is a crossby tailor. It's on my website tailored
life dot com. Did we give the name out? Sorry?
(12:17):
I completely forgot if we actually said the name of
the DVD. It's just Crosby Taylor's thirty Day Transformation Low
Impact training. You hear the words low impact, and I
feel like most people right off the batter probably like, well,
this isn't gonna be the workout for me because I
want to work out hard like I want to I
want to see the result. How do you kind of
fight that stigma? There might be that person out there
(12:39):
that is either coming back from from injury or rehabing
themselves in some kind of way, or has certain digestive
issues and gets inflamed easily and can't be doing that
overtraining onto that person that might have been working out
hard on a regular basis and is not getting those results.
And I think that the long run is more about
(13:01):
the idea of this low impact because I've probably trained
twenty thirty minutes today and just really focus on eating
like the best new trans dense foods and I feel great. Um,
I keep up, you know, the with my body composition
the way that I want. My hormones are right, are balanced.
I just got my blood work back and everything was amazing,
(13:23):
and my inflammation markers were lower than this doctor had
ever seen in anybody. So I knew that there was
something about something to what I was doing. So when
people and also want to share with more people, With
people who follow along with your thirty day plan on
the deep with the DVD, what can they expect and
do you have like information about people's diets as well
(13:43):
and what they should be changing outside of just the workout. Yeah.
That's the cool thing is I've actually been working with
this company that UM We've developed this like marketing funnel
where the DVD UM we're gonna have the DVD on
and be pushing a lot of content around really good
ideas when it comes to meal prepping and eating the
(14:06):
right having the right dietary choices, so that somebody that
might adopt this philosophy can see the whole spectrum and
be able to take it all in and be like, oh, well,
if I train like this, then maybe I don't really
need to be eating all these foods all the time. UM,
So we're kind of breaking all that down. We're working
on that right as we speak, right now. But you
can also um follow me along on any of the
(14:28):
social media platforms. On my instant stories, I'm always breaking
down like my favorite supplements, my favorite foods, and my
favorite ways to keep this kind of like anti inflammatory,
stress producing lifestyle happening on a regular basis. And for
people who do who do, go check you out on Instagram.
It's Crosby Taylor and it's t A I L O R.
(14:49):
I like how you have right at the top, You've
got hashtag eat dessert, burn fat. He deserve burned fat.
Much like much like low impact training workout seems ridiculous
exactly love to ridiculous well and explain it. So what
how do you eat dessert and still burn fat? So
this motto came like four or five years ago when
(15:11):
I was making these desserts. Um it was for being
and a past girlfriend at the time, and we were
kind of at the time, both of us were supplementing
with like what we're messing around with the idea of
not eating the sugar. So so we got to a
point where like, we both want some sweets. What can
we eat? There's nothing really around it was really doing
(15:33):
what we wanted to do, So I'll figure it out myself.
So I started making these desserts that were free of sugar, gluten,
and grains, and I started using products that I was
using on a regular basis to create my meals and said, oh,
maybe I can throw these some of these things and
and create a dessert out of it. And I'm talking
like if I was to build a shake, you know,
(15:54):
like certain proteins and good fats and stuff. So I
started putting these like cookie together where I make this
cookie out of like a coconut flour base and proteins
and good fats like craftbed gee, and then I'd throw
together these icings to have like probiotics in them, as
well as like collagen, protein um and and empty tea oil. Essentially,
(16:17):
at the time, I didn't even know what I was doing.
I was doing it, but I was making these like
keto cookies, like keto Janet cookies. In your honest opinion,
how close do they taste to actual sweets? I think
they're better. I can't. I can't remember. I can't remember
having sweets that were like full of refined sugar. But
all the testimonials that I have and everybody that's tried
(16:39):
them had, you know, they kind of make a claim
right there in front of me that they would rather
have this, They would eat this on a regular basis
as opposed to the other stuff, not just because it
was healthy, but I make it taste like it's bad
for you, Like it definitely tastes like it's bad for you,
which is which is the cool part. I'm actually looking
at your Instagram right now, and you've got chocolate chip
whoopee pies which look like they look really really good.
(17:02):
One of the reasons I did want to talk to
you is because I feel like a lot of the
the workout advice out there is always just workout harder,
do more. And I love the fact that this is
the counter argument where yes, you're still obviously working out,
you're still gonna eat healthy, but don't overdo it because
you're gonna end up hurting yourself anyway, and you're not
(17:23):
going to get to your goal unless you have some
sort of balance. And what I love about a lot
of the people that have come on here, even though
the workout or the podcast is called Workout Wednesday, almost
every single person, without fail says, yes, working out is important,
but your diet is so much more important. It's it's such,
it's a bigger key, it's a bigger piece of the
(17:45):
puzzle than just go on the treadmill or go do whatever.
And certain workouts obviously I have talked to people have
different workout philosophies, but every single person, regardless of the
workout philosophy, said, taking care of yourself outside of the
gym is really the key. Making sure you're drinking enough water,
sleeping properly, reducing your stress, eating properly, um, getting them
(18:06):
right amount of rest, all that stuff. So I love
the philosophy behind everything you're doing. I love the fact
that this is a workout that I believe, and I
think you said this earlier. If you're coming back from
an injury or maybe you haven't been working out for
a while, this is something that you can jump into
pretty easily, right, This is perfect for you. Yeah, this
is a ticket for sure, because you know, I wouldn't
suggest they go straight into somebody, some trainer that's gonna
(18:29):
kick their ass, yea, doing something you know they're gonna
end up store the next day and not gonna want
to train the rest of the week exactly. Yeah, But
so like you can be doing this making sure you're
getting the proper recovery food even with this training. I
really want people to understand that, like get something in
your body within thirty, thirty or forty five minutes after
(18:49):
that workout, maybe even sooner, because that's what's going to
create the results. So what do you suggest if if
someone goes and let's say they're going to the gym,
they're doing their typical four or five minute to an
hour or an hour in the gym, um, and then
they leave, what is the first thing someone should do personally?
I bring like a protein powder of choice and some
glutamine to the gym to where as soon as I'm
(19:12):
done training, before I even shower, before I leave the gym,
I'll mix that in water and drink that down just
to get my body, give my body something so that
it doesn't go super catabolic outwards. What about pre workout?
Is there anything that you I mean, because obviously the
trend now obviously is people you know, using a C
(19:32):
four or an en O explode like one of those
pre workouts supplements, and let's I'll be honest, I've used them. Um.
I mean, I work up. I would wake up at
four o'clock in the morning every day, and sometimes when
I try to get to the gym by like today,
I'll probably get to the gym at I don't know,
five o'clock or so I'm tired by then. You know, Um,
is there something that you kind of carry around with
you as a pre a healthier pre workout option. Here's
(19:54):
the thing about pre workouts. Most of the pre workouts
on the market, even if they have like ingredients like
certain amino acids um and things to boost nitric oxide
levels that could be good, they're also tons. All of
them are pretty much full of like guys and disper
tame and superlose and all this stuff, right, So I
avoid that as much as I can, and I stick
(20:17):
to like a branch chain amino acid powder that's like
sweetened with stevia or no, not sweetened at all. I'll
throw like an electrolyte packet in there. I'll use like
chlorophyll chlor oxygen dropper, and then I like to throw
different herbs depending on what I'm gonna do. So if
I'm going to do something that's going to require more endurance,
I'd love to use court of steps. Um. If I'm
(20:38):
you know, if I'm going for more uh, if I'm
trying to like increase strength and stuff like, I use creating,
but I use like a creating by itself, like a
monohydrate by itself that's like a good clean free team.
Is there a source that you found where like these
are healthier supplements, are more health conscious supplements as opposed
to just everything with artificial die and stuff like that. Yeah,
(21:01):
I mean you're going to find more of those things
that like the Whole Foods and air one. UM. I
would definitely just be more inclined to shop through Amazon um.
And you know some of these herb companies that are
buy the cost. But I mean Don't get me wrong,
I drink caffeine. I have a bullet drink coffee almost
(21:21):
every morning. I love it. But I love that you
brought up to the morning actually, because this is a
question I get all the time, because people always submit questions,
whether they're emailing me or hit me up on Instagram.
And the one question at all the time, because people
have very limited time in the morning, is what is
a good quick breakfast option? Is there something that you
always turn to? Is there something that you make sure
(21:42):
that your clients are people in DVD are aware of.
There's three different breakfast options that I think are pretty efficient.
They think you can make them pretty fast. Um. One,
if you can handle caffeine, you're a coffee drinker, and uh,
you're okay with like these these ats. I love having
a bulletproof coffee. My bulletproof coffee consists of like a
(22:04):
tablespoon or two of collagen protein um, a tablespoon of
empty t oil as well as like a tablespoonful grassbed
butter with the coffee, and then I'll throw like lion's
mane or chogger or some of these Chinese herbs as
well as like adapted genics from Like I'll take certain
things like rodeola or holy basil in the morning to
(22:25):
counter effect the caffeine and to not deplete my adrenals.
Securely proof coffee. What else you get a nice green smoothie,
like a fat green smoothie throwing together some good fats,
a protein powder of choice, um, some almond or coconut
unsweetened almond or coconut milk, UM, and some minerals and uh,
(22:46):
you know, you could go. You can get pretty far
with some good fat, protein and and minerals um without
without boosting like your insuline with a bunch of carbs
in the morning. And then like a good like egg meal,
whether you're gonna make an let scrambled, throw some avocado
on there. Um, you can throw like olive oil, pumpkin seeds,
(23:08):
and like a side veggie with that. You know, if
you had maybe a meal preps in broccoli that week
and you can just pan fry up some broccoli real quick,
throw some tomato on top of that. It's a pretty
delicious morning meal. It seems pretty it seems pretty simple,
And I think, yeah, the thing that most people, I
think need to understand is the process isn't as cop
(23:29):
complicated as people make it out to be. If you're
trying whatever your journey is, whether you're trying to lose weight,
give more muscle, whatever happens to be, it's really about
consistency in making the right decisions. And I guess discipline.
Discipline is big. Yeah, I know that I've taken up
like a bunch of your time already. If people want
to find you, um again, where can they go to
find out all about the DVD program, the cookies, all
(23:50):
that good stuff. Well, I'm promoting all of that stuff
on a regular basis on my Instagram mainly which is
at Crosby Tailor t A I l O R. They
can also find my products and blog posts on my
website tailored life dot com. Well at Crosby. Thank you
so much. Next time I'm in l A. I'll definitely
hit you up. Yeah. Sure, I was thinking about something
(24:10):
actually before I did today's podcast. Um, since we started
on this little journey together, every week I've had a
different little tip that you can kind of take with
you in your life and try to add to your life.
It was one tip every week. You're supposed to add
on to it every single week. I want to do
something differently this time. Hit me up at Worst Anthony
on Instagram and let me know one thing that you did,
(24:33):
one very small change you made in your life to
UH to help you on your journey, whether it was
to lose weight, gain muscle, just overall health, whatever it was.
And I'll start using some of those two because I mean,
this is a little bit of a community and I
think that's what's really fun. Um, don't forget you could
always hit me up with questions at Worst Anthony on Instagram, Facebook,
Snapchat and Twitter. You can always email my Day Friday
(24:55):
show at Gmail. This podcast is a little shorter, but
because I'm also trying to save my voice, gotta do
the whole radio thing tomorrow. Power. So thank you so
much again for spending some time like twenty five or
so minutes with me on the Workout Wednesday podcast. See
you next week. Good luck on your journey. The following

But this apology is not because the podcast is late.
It's it's still Wednesday, so this still counts. I've recorded
this today, but you could probably hear by my voice
it's a little weird. I've somehow been losing my voice.
I feel fine, just the voices coming and going a
little it So if I sound weird, I apologize. Um
and you know it's really cool is the last couple
(01:04):
of days I haven't felt great, just like I think
I got a sinus infection or something. And this is
gonna sound so cheesy, but what did help actually was
going to the gym last night even though I didn't
want to. But I'm doing the whole fifty Days of
Fit thing, which is now day three of fifty days
of Fit, so hopefully you're following along with that. UM,
and I started off the workout not feeling great, but
by the end of the work and I actually felt
(01:24):
better than when I had gotten to the gym. I
think I just needed to get out, move around, get
the blood flowing a little bit, which is just a
good lesson. Sometimes yes, you do need to lay low
and recover, which we will talk about in this podcast
with our special guests, but sometimes you also just have
to get your ass up, get out of your phone,
if you're a little tired, whatever. Once you start moving around,
you actually feel a little better, which is pretty cool. UM.
(01:46):
Today's podcast is weird for me because I wasn't used
to this term low impact training. It makes a ton
of sense. So let's just say good morning, Crosby Taylor,
what's up? Hey, what's up? Man? How are you good? So?
Can you just explain, um to everyone kind of what
you do before we jump into like the full conversation.
What I do is basically inspire people. Get people to
(02:09):
understand that they have the ability to optimize their life,
their health, their their well being through these certain tools
when it comes to reducing your inflammation and stress levels.
Mainly everything from you know, your dietary choices to the
way that you train and work out, um, to the
way that you supplement and use different herbs and those
(02:30):
kinds of things, as well as just lifestyle approach in general, um,
how you can go about certain things to increase your
longevity as well as just feel better now today on
a daily basis. So let's start with the inflammation thing. Yeah,
So I feel like that's something that people don't necessarily
even think about or talk about that often. But reducing
(02:50):
information Like why is that important? Well, I mean bits
of you know, we inflame ourselves on a regular basis,
like uh, when we go to the gym and we
work out. Um, those things, those small bits of inflammation
as well as long as you recover from them, are
actually good things. But when it comes to chronic inflammation,
inflaming yourself on a on a regular basis, when it
(03:11):
comes to bad food choices um as well as like
overtraining without the proper recovery. Those are two of the
biggest issues that people I think are doing on a
regular basis, and they don't even understand. They might think
be thinking they're living in such a healthy lifestyle, but
they're overdoing so many things and then to make up
for it. You know, somebody that's running on the treadmill
(03:31):
six eight ten miles a day and then training and
then you know, barely getting food in their body within
a couple hours after that is putting their body in
this catabolic state to where they're never really recovering and
they're creating this inflammation on a daily basis that we'll
start to break their body down in a lot of
different ways. How does that start to show itself though, Like,
(03:52):
how do people know that that is actually going on?
I think the first the first indicators for anyone is
you know this idea that like, oh, there's a there's
a good soreness where you like feel sore from a workout,
but then there's like the over and flames, I feel puffy,
I'm bloated. Um. You you know, you start to the
symptoms of like bloated face, bloated body, You start to
(04:16):
hold onto water weight more often. UM, you're feeling feeling
achy in the joints and and kind of all over,
and you have a lot of digestive issues because those
kind of set in as well. You know, it's it's
really about that type of person that they have this question,
why am I training so much and not getting the results?
Why am I working out and not losing weight? Um?
(04:38):
And what they're doing is put putting their body in
this stressed out state to where it's going to hold
onto the fat um as opposed to let go of it.
Because of this UM these high inflammation markers as well
as the stress response that's setting in. You know, your
cortisol levels are spiking through the roof on a regular basis,
and the combination of those two things, You're know, the
(05:00):
high courtisol levels and your inflammation will cause your body
to go into the spider flight state where it's going
to hold onto everything possible in order to survive. So
then what do we how do we find the balance people?
I think equate working out harder with losing more weight
or being more fit. So how do you how do
you make sure that you don't overdo it? Well, that's
a good question. It comes down to um the person's
(05:25):
kind of intuition to understand enough is enough kind of thing,
as well as like creating a little bit toned down,
more toned down of a lifestyle to where if they
are having these symptoms, they have to realize that they
can't force it anymore. They have to kind of let
go and let their body do what it needs to
do as opposed to forcing these things. Like people feel
(05:46):
like these last bits of weight that they're trying to
to lose are all about running that extra mile, and
they might actually be about running less miles and just
in this dialing in their their food intake in a
different state. Like I think that a lot of people
that are overtraining are also overcarving over sugaring. You know,
they're they're eating a lot of sugars and starches and
(06:09):
trying to replenish and replace the glycogen that they lost
from that workout, as opposed to maybe doing less, eating
less of those things and focusing more on nourishing good
fats and and moderate levels of protein for the the
amino acids to recover the body, as well as focusing
on a lot of green veggies and the fiber. And
(06:31):
then they get they get their body into more of
a balanced state to where their blood sugar levels are
a little bit more balanced, they're not creating these crazy
spikes in their and their cortisol, and then they're keeping
their inflammation down. And a lot of people are seeing
a lot of my clients that I've worked with. Once
they trust this and they start to work in this
kind of capacity, they have to get way leaner, they
feel better, and they can actually see the difference and go,
(06:54):
oh my god, that a little bit of weight that
I was trying to lose had everything to do with
me letting go of these ideas and these ideals that
I had of how I was supposed to train in
the first place. I mean, I've come from college football background,
and we used to work out four hours a day. Yeah,
I mean when I was in what I was doing
college track, I was doing a sprinting workout, a throwing workout,
(07:16):
and a weight workout every day. And how old are
you then? I was between eighteen and twenty two. So
you're like, hormones are on point, your body is probably
like that's like the pinnacle of your life in terms
of your speed and all those types of things. But
as we get older and and we have different things
coming at us and our bodies breaking down in a
(07:36):
different way, and we might not be eating the best
and we just don't have the capacity to train like
that anymore. That's when higher levels of these you know,
these inflammatory markers as well as your corusol will go
up because you don't have like your muscles aren't what
they used to be, your your joints aren't what they
used to be. You have to actually focus more on
(07:58):
things like your your dietary habits as opposed to this
like overtraining over eating mentality. Because I did it too,
I think that as an athlete, I consider myself an athlete,
but I'm not competing anymore. Your job relies on you
being athletics. So then in that regard, you are still
an athlete, but I'm not going out there and training
(08:18):
like I used to train because I'm not competing for
anything anymore. So my training UM is more based around
the ideas of UM longevity just feeling better on it
on a day to day basis. Aesthetic and keeping you know,
those things intact with the way that I've worked my
lifestyle out is a lot easier this way, in my opinion,
(08:43):
than than the ladder, which is you know what we've
been talking about, in the overtraining capacity. So that's just
kind of how I came to it. Um actually was
from a an old injury from football where I had
a hamstring and so as um issue and that just
kept flaring up on me. And the flare ups were
(09:04):
because every time I had a flare up, it was
because I went out, went all out for a couple
of days and overtrained and didn't get the right nutrients
on my body right away. And I kind of would
getting mad at myself and be like, why can't I
do this anymore? Why can't I just like go ball
to the wall and then fresh food. I was realizing that, like,
after all this stuff and and just getting older in
(09:24):
the nervous system, I just became so sensitive to all
these things, and so I changed my lifestyle in accordance
to that in order to just not feel like that
people listening to the podcast and be like, all right,
that's great for you. You You figured out for yourself and
you help out your clients. But you also the reason
I had you on this podcast is you have a
DVD actually that people can learn from and train with.
(09:45):
So explain what people could find in your DVD. Alright,
So my DVD is like a thirty day Body Transformation
UM focusing on low impact training. Uh, and the focus
is all around. There's actually four parts that are all
about certain lifts. Throw two body groups together at a time,
and you're doing everything from weighted list to static holds,
(10:08):
body resistant stuff, and it's really getting the person to
focus and be present within within each rep um and
to really dial it in so that they can get
the most out of their training in the least amount
of time. As well as the fact that I'm getting
people to understand that our breath is so important throughout
our training as well. A lot of people are at
(10:29):
the gym and they might do like thirty reps in
a row real quick right of like a barbell doing
bicept curls or something, and you could see their like
red in the face because they're they have they've been
holding their breath. I'd rather have somebody do ten of
the cleanest reps possible, slower breathing through it, and creating
such an awareness of the muscle that they're working in
(10:51):
such an isolated form. They're getting the most out of
that with the least amount of spike cortisol spike um
in that stress response. The impact training workout that you have,
what do people need to can they do at their
house or do they have to take it with them
to the gym? How does this all work? Yeah, that's
the cool thing is it's it's you can get it's
a DVD. It's it's also a video download and you
(11:12):
can just download it straight through your computer and all
you need is MATT unless you don't even really care
to have a MATT. You can do it right in
the front of your on your TV at home. And
these are twenty to thirty minute workouts. A couple of
them are paired together, so if you really if you
want to go for it, you can, you know, do
a forty minute workout. But it's everything from the body
(11:32):
weight and the way to lift the static holds to
also a breathwork and um core section as well as
a cardio and stretch section so they can mix and match. Um.
There's a calendar on there, which is kind of cool.
So if they really want to go through it, uh
the way that I've devised it for them, there's a
there's a Monday through through Sunday calendar on there, and uh,
(11:56):
I've been getting like really great response. They've made Amazon um,
Amazon's best choice. Yeah, dude, thank you. And and it's
just I feel like it's just something different that not
a lot of people are doing right now. And where
can people find it? It's on Lincoln Bio, on my Instagram,
which is a crossby tailor. It's on my website tailored
life dot com. Did we give the name out? Sorry?
(12:17):
I completely forgot if we actually said the name of
the DVD. It's just Crosby Taylor's thirty Day Transformation Low
Impact training. You hear the words low impact, and I
feel like most people right off the batter probably like, well,
this isn't gonna be the workout for me because I
want to work out hard like I want to I
want to see the result. How do you kind of
fight that stigma? There might be that person out there
(12:39):
that is either coming back from from injury or rehabing
themselves in some kind of way, or has certain digestive
issues and gets inflamed easily and can't be doing that
overtraining onto that person that might have been working out
hard on a regular basis and is not getting those results.
And I think that the long run is more about
(13:01):
the idea of this low impact because I've probably trained
twenty thirty minutes today and just really focus on eating
like the best new trans dense foods and I feel great. Um,
I keep up, you know, the with my body composition
the way that I want. My hormones are right, are balanced.
I just got my blood work back and everything was amazing,
(13:23):
and my inflammation markers were lower than this doctor had
ever seen in anybody. So I knew that there was
something about something to what I was doing. So when
people and also want to share with more people, With
people who follow along with your thirty day plan on
the deep with the DVD, what can they expect and
do you have like information about people's diets as well
(13:43):
and what they should be changing outside of just the workout. Yeah.
That's the cool thing is I've actually been working with
this company that UM We've developed this like marketing funnel
where the DVD UM we're gonna have the DVD on
and be pushing a lot of content around really good
ideas when it comes to meal prepping and eating the
(14:06):
right having the right dietary choices, so that somebody that
might adopt this philosophy can see the whole spectrum and
be able to take it all in and be like, oh, well,
if I train like this, then maybe I don't really
need to be eating all these foods all the time. UM,
So we're kind of breaking all that down. We're working
on that right as we speak, right now. But you
can also um follow me along on any of the
(14:28):
social media platforms. On my instant stories, I'm always breaking
down like my favorite supplements, my favorite foods, and my
favorite ways to keep this kind of like anti inflammatory,
stress producing lifestyle happening on a regular basis. And for
people who do who do, go check you out on Instagram.
It's Crosby Taylor and it's t A I L O R.
(14:49):
I like how you have right at the top, You've
got hashtag eat dessert, burn fat. He deserve burned fat.
Much like much like low impact training workout seems ridiculous
exactly love to ridiculous well and explain it. So what
how do you eat dessert and still burn fat? So
this motto came like four or five years ago when
(15:11):
I was making these desserts. Um it was for being
and a past girlfriend at the time, and we were
kind of at the time, both of us were supplementing
with like what we're messing around with the idea of
not eating the sugar. So so we got to a
point where like, we both want some sweets. What can
we eat? There's nothing really around it was really doing
(15:33):
what we wanted to do, So I'll figure it out myself.
So I started making these desserts that were free of sugar, gluten,
and grains, and I started using products that I was
using on a regular basis to create my meals and said, oh,
maybe I can throw these some of these things and
and create a dessert out of it. And I'm talking
like if I was to build a shake, you know,
(15:54):
like certain proteins and good fats and stuff. So I
started putting these like cookie together where I make this
cookie out of like a coconut flour base and proteins
and good fats like craftbed gee, and then I'd throw
together these icings to have like probiotics in them, as
well as like collagen, protein um and and empty tea oil. Essentially,
(16:17):
at the time, I didn't even know what I was doing.
I was doing it, but I was making these like
keto cookies, like keto Janet cookies. In your honest opinion,
how close do they taste to actual sweets? I think
they're better. I can't. I can't remember. I can't remember
having sweets that were like full of refined sugar. But
all the testimonials that I have and everybody that's tried
(16:39):
them had, you know, they kind of make a claim
right there in front of me that they would rather
have this, They would eat this on a regular basis
as opposed to the other stuff, not just because it
was healthy, but I make it taste like it's bad
for you, Like it definitely tastes like it's bad for you,
which is which is the cool part. I'm actually looking
at your Instagram right now, and you've got chocolate chip
whoopee pies which look like they look really really good.
(17:02):
One of the reasons I did want to talk to
you is because I feel like a lot of the
the workout advice out there is always just workout harder,
do more. And I love the fact that this is
the counter argument where yes, you're still obviously working out,
you're still gonna eat healthy, but don't overdo it because
you're gonna end up hurting yourself anyway, and you're not
(17:23):
going to get to your goal unless you have some
sort of balance. And what I love about a lot
of the people that have come on here, even though
the workout or the podcast is called Workout Wednesday, almost
every single person, without fail says, yes, working out is important,
but your diet is so much more important. It's it's such,
it's a bigger key, it's a bigger piece of the
(17:45):
puzzle than just go on the treadmill or go do whatever.
And certain workouts obviously I have talked to people have
different workout philosophies, but every single person, regardless of the
workout philosophy, said, taking care of yourself outside of the
gym is really the key. Making sure you're drinking enough water,
sleeping properly, reducing your stress, eating properly, um, getting them
(18:06):
right amount of rest, all that stuff. So I love
the philosophy behind everything you're doing. I love the fact
that this is a workout that I believe, and I
think you said this earlier. If you're coming back from
an injury or maybe you haven't been working out for
a while, this is something that you can jump into
pretty easily, right, This is perfect for you. Yeah, this
is a ticket for sure, because you know, I wouldn't
suggest they go straight into somebody, some trainer that's gonna
(18:29):
kick their ass, yea, doing something you know they're gonna
end up store the next day and not gonna want
to train the rest of the week exactly. Yeah, But
so like you can be doing this making sure you're
getting the proper recovery food even with this training. I
really want people to understand that, like get something in
your body within thirty, thirty or forty five minutes after
(18:49):
that workout, maybe even sooner, because that's what's going to
create the results. So what do you suggest if if
someone goes and let's say they're going to the gym,
they're doing their typical four or five minute to an
hour or an hour in the gym, um, and then
they leave, what is the first thing someone should do personally?
I bring like a protein powder of choice and some
glutamine to the gym to where as soon as I'm
(19:12):
done training, before I even shower, before I leave the gym,
I'll mix that in water and drink that down just
to get my body, give my body something so that
it doesn't go super catabolic outwards. What about pre workout?
Is there anything that you I mean, because obviously the
trend now obviously is people you know, using a C
(19:32):
four or an en O explode like one of those
pre workouts supplements, and let's I'll be honest, I've used them. Um.
I mean, I work up. I would wake up at
four o'clock in the morning every day, and sometimes when
I try to get to the gym by like today,
I'll probably get to the gym at I don't know,
five o'clock or so I'm tired by then. You know, Um,
is there something that you kind of carry around with
you as a pre a healthier pre workout option. Here's
(19:54):
the thing about pre workouts. Most of the pre workouts
on the market, even if they have like ingredients like
certain amino acids um and things to boost nitric oxide
levels that could be good, they're also tons. All of
them are pretty much full of like guys and disper
tame and superlose and all this stuff, right, So I
avoid that as much as I can, and I stick
(20:17):
to like a branch chain amino acid powder that's like
sweetened with stevia or no, not sweetened at all. I'll
throw like an electrolyte packet in there. I'll use like
chlorophyll chlor oxygen dropper, and then I like to throw
different herbs depending on what I'm gonna do. So if
I'm going to do something that's going to require more endurance,
I'd love to use court of steps. Um. If I'm
(20:38):
you know, if I'm going for more uh, if I'm
trying to like increase strength and stuff like, I use creating,
but I use like a creating by itself, like a
monohydrate by itself that's like a good clean free team.
Is there a source that you found where like these
are healthier supplements, are more health conscious supplements as opposed
to just everything with artificial die and stuff like that. Yeah,
(21:01):
I mean you're going to find more of those things
that like the Whole Foods and air one. UM. I
would definitely just be more inclined to shop through Amazon um.
And you know some of these herb companies that are
buy the cost. But I mean Don't get me wrong,
I drink caffeine. I have a bullet drink coffee almost
(21:21):
every morning. I love it. But I love that you
brought up to the morning actually, because this is a
question I get all the time, because people always submit questions,
whether they're emailing me or hit me up on Instagram.
And the one question at all the time, because people
have very limited time in the morning, is what is
a good quick breakfast option? Is there something that you
always turn to? Is there something that you make sure
(21:42):
that your clients are people in DVD are aware of.
There's three different breakfast options that I think are pretty efficient.
They think you can make them pretty fast. Um. One,
if you can handle caffeine, you're a coffee drinker, and uh,
you're okay with like these these ats. I love having
a bulletproof coffee. My bulletproof coffee consists of like a
(22:04):
tablespoon or two of collagen protein um, a tablespoon of
empty t oil as well as like a tablespoonful grassbed
butter with the coffee, and then I'll throw like lion's
mane or chogger or some of these Chinese herbs as
well as like adapted genics from Like I'll take certain
things like rodeola or holy basil in the morning to
(22:25):
counter effect the caffeine and to not deplete my adrenals.
Securely proof coffee. What else you get a nice green smoothie,
like a fat green smoothie throwing together some good fats,
a protein powder of choice, um, some almond or coconut
unsweetened almond or coconut milk, UM, and some minerals and uh,
(22:46):
you know, you could go. You can get pretty far
with some good fat, protein and and minerals um without
without boosting like your insuline with a bunch of carbs
in the morning. And then like a good like egg meal,
whether you're gonna make an let scrambled, throw some avocado
on there. Um, you can throw like olive oil, pumpkin seeds,
(23:08):
and like a side veggie with that. You know, if
you had maybe a meal preps in broccoli that week
and you can just pan fry up some broccoli real quick,
throw some tomato on top of that. It's a pretty
delicious morning meal. It seems pretty it seems pretty simple,
And I think, yeah, the thing that most people, I
think need to understand is the process isn't as cop
(23:29):
complicated as people make it out to be. If you're
trying whatever your journey is, whether you're trying to lose weight,
give more muscle, whatever happens to be, it's really about
consistency in making the right decisions. And I guess discipline.
Discipline is big. Yeah, I know that I've taken up
like a bunch of your time already. If people want
to find you, um again, where can they go to
find out all about the DVD program, the cookies, all
(23:50):
that good stuff. Well, I'm promoting all of that stuff
on a regular basis on my Instagram mainly which is
at Crosby Tailor t A I l O R. They
can also find my products and blog posts on my
website tailored life dot com. Well at Crosby. Thank you
so much. Next time I'm in l A. I'll definitely
hit you up. Yeah. Sure, I was thinking about something
(24:10):
actually before I did today's podcast. Um, since we started
on this little journey together, every week I've had a
different little tip that you can kind of take with
you in your life and try to add to your life.
It was one tip every week. You're supposed to add
on to it every single week. I want to do
something differently this time. Hit me up at Worst Anthony
on Instagram and let me know one thing that you did,
(24:33):
one very small change you made in your life to
UH to help you on your journey, whether it was
to lose weight, gain muscle, just overall health, whatever it was.
And I'll start using some of those two because I mean,
this is a little bit of a community and I
think that's what's really fun. Um, don't forget you could
always hit me up with questions at Worst Anthony on Instagram, Facebook,
Snapchat and Twitter. You can always email my Day Friday
