Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Hello and welcome to the 278th edition of the Dyrobi
podcast.
I am so happy to be with youtoday.
I am Dave Sherwin, the host ofthe podcast, and I appreciate
you, and one of the reasons Iappreciate you is because you
could be listening to a realpodcast with a.
I appreciate you and one of thereasons I appreciate you is
because you could be listeningto a real podcast with a real
podcaster and instead you'relistening to me and I appreciate
it.
And guess what?

(00:33):
This is kind of a real podcast.
This is ranked number 215 ofall podcasts in the United
States for nutrition, but butit's number 48 in Mongolia.
To my Mongolian friends, thankyou so much.
I appreciate you being here.
I hope this is helping you withyour health and I'm glad to

(00:55):
know that you have electricityto be able to listen to a
podcast, because here in theUnited States we probably have
pretty skewed ideas about whatit's like to live in Mongolia.
So thank you very much forjoining me, as well as those of
you from Fiji and othercountries around the world.
It's so fun to do stuff likethis and be connected by the

(01:17):
interwebs and sharing our ideasand listening to each other.
I love listening to podcasts.
I love doing my podcast.
You obviously do as well, oryou would not be here listening
to my obscure little Nairobipodcast.
That I love to do, and Iappreciate those listeners that
come and join me here Now.
Today I have a reallyinteresting topic.

(01:37):
It's one I don't think I'vespent a whole lot of time on,
but it's pretty darn cool and itcould make a huge difference in
your own health.
You have heard me talk aboutprioritizing protein, and you
probably haven't just heard thatfrom me.
Many, many people in the healthindustry are more and more
talking about protein.

(01:59):
We talked about fat, and allkinds of very smart people said
everything ought to be fat-free.
Fat is making us fat, and sothat's what we did.
We made fat-free stuff.
We created all kinds offrankenfoods.
You name it.
There's a fat-free frankenfood.
Try to say that fast Fat-freefrankenfood.

(02:19):
Then later on it became carbsketo, paleoo, low carb.
Get rid of those carbs, thosenasty carbs, those farmers.
They're growing stuff made ofcarbs and we shouldn't be eating
it.
That's what's making us fat.
So let's get rid of all thecarbs.
And now what we're finding outis that perhaps the most

(02:43):
important of the three macros isactually protein, which kind of
supports the carb-free orlow-carb crowd in a way, because
prioritizing protein generallydoes mean eating fewer carbs,
but it's also a little bit of adifferent animal.
For example, prioritizingprotein is different than the

(03:03):
carb loading that athletes usedto do, for example, right.
So carb loading used to be athing huge big plate of
spaghetti before an event.
Prioritizing protein meansgetting some protein in you
before the event.
However, filling your gut withprotein which is hard on the
system, difficult to digest, isnot exactly a recipe for
performance.

(03:24):
As a matter of fact, the bloodthat you want going to your
muscles for performance insteadhas to go to your stomach for
digestion not the best way to dothings.
However, getting a littleprotein before a weight training
exercise, for example a weighttraining workout, and getting it
right after, has been proven inmultiple studies to be a great

(03:46):
time and way to get what youneed those vital elements and
amino acids from the proteininto your system so that you get
the maximum benefit.
So enter perfect amino by bodyhealth.
As a matter of fact, Iinterviewed Dr David Minkoff.
If you just Google Dyrobipodcast, minkoff, m-i-n-k-o-f-f,

(04:09):
it should pop right up.
He's a really interesting guy.
As a matter of fact, he'scompleted many full-length
Ironman triathlons and in part,you know, as he was doing that,
he was researching protein andhis body was kind of falling
apart and he is, you know, as itoften does for ultra endurance
athletes.
Oftentimes we think of thosepeople as being super healthy,

(04:33):
but in fact, of course, doingultra anything can actually wear
you out.
It's a lot of problems on yourjoints and soft tissue and
muscle.
So he was searching for theperfect protein that would fuel
him and help him in his recoveryand his gains, et cetera, and
he did as deep a dive asprobably anyone has ever done on

(04:55):
protein.
And he is a medical doctor,he's a scientist, he understands
what he's doing and in the endhe did discover that what it's
about really is amino acids.
Protein breaks down into aminoacids and there's a certain
amount of amino acids that weall need, but we only get a few
of them from plants.
We only get all of them fromsome meats and now from his

(05:19):
supplement, which is PerfectAmino.
Now where Perfect Amino reallyshines is that it's a tablet
form of protein that is theperfect aminos.
It has the exact mix that youneed, and five of them before a
workout is very easy on thestomach, but it's the equivalent

(05:41):
of taking 30 grams of protein.
Now, this is important becauseyou are probably aware by now
that you should be consumingbetween 0.7 grams per body
weight that you weigh and onegram per pound of body weight
that you weigh.
I weigh 200 pounds, so I shouldbe consuming 200 grams of

(06:01):
protein each day.
Well, let me tell you what.
That is an annoying amount ofchicken to eat and you get sick
of chicken breast pretty darnfast if that's your solution.
So here's what I've been doingfor quite some time and I'm
actually surprised I haven'tdone this episode before,
because I've been taking perfectaminos for years and the fact

(06:23):
that I'm only now getting aroundto going.
Oh, wait, a minute, I haven'tkind of bragged on these things
on the podcast.
I had to kind of dive in.
As a matter of fact, I did abunch of research.
There's an article on our blognow, blogdairobicom about
perfect aminos that really goesinto depth on this.
If you want to go, check thatout.
But back to my point aboutgetting enough protein.

(06:45):
It's hard and protein isexpensive.
Protein is typically the mostexpensive item on the plate and
because of that most people eattoo many refined carbs, right
Like if you look at the averageperson's shopping cart as
they're getting ready to checkout, is it full of meat and eggs

(07:05):
and God forbid, tofu?
Not usually there's breakfastcereals and breads and pasta and
rice right, with a few proteinsoff to the side.
So if you have started down thepath of trying to get 0.7 grams
to one gram of protein perpound of body weight that you

(07:27):
weigh if you weigh 150, that's150 grams of protein you have
probably discovered it's kind ofhard and when you take it
matters.
I am currently lifting weightsheavy about three times a week
and now that I have perfectproteins, a perfect amino sorry
I take five before my workout,the equivalent of 30 grams of

(07:50):
protein.
I take five right after and Ialready have 60 grams of protein
in my system, leaving me 140 toget from my food.
But I cheat again with theperfect aminos.
I take five more with my dinner.
Now, depending on how much youweigh, you don't have to take
five at a time.
You might take three at a timeor you might take, you know,

(08:12):
four or two.
Whatever, it depends on yourbudget as well.
Although they're reasonablypriced, some people say that
they're expensive.
Well, the big bottle is 75bucks.
So yeah, that's expensive, butlet me tell you it lasts.
There's 300 in there, right?
So if you're taking three at atime, that's a hundred servings

(08:33):
of protein.
Now, if you compare that tofood, especially steak, this is
a bargain.
This is an inexpensive way andthese are perfect aminos.
A steak you'll probably belucky to ingest 30% of the
nutritional value of a steak,because steak is hard on your
system to digest.

(08:53):
I love steak.
I loved a tender cooked steakas much as anyone else but I am
aware as a health expert thatit's difficult on your system
and there's a lot of researchshowing we should cut down on
our red meat and so that isn't agood every single day source of
protein.
So perfect, aminos is afantastic addition to your

(09:18):
regimen.
It's carefully the pricing iscarefully controlled.
It's going to be the same pricewhether you buy it from us or
buy it from Amazon.
If you buy it from us which Iwould really appreciate at
dirobicom you get reward pointsand we occasionally do sales and
don't tell Dr Minkoff, butsometimes we do discount codes
to our list.
And what I'm going to tell youright now podcast 10, so you can

(09:39):
save 10%.
Not really supposed to do that,but they can.
It's kind of a wink, wink, nod,nod, nudge, nudge kind of a
situation where they know thatwe're going to give some
discounts to our usersoccasionally our buyers.
So I guess I shouldn't call youa user, right?
Is that offensive?
Please don't be offended.

(10:00):
Just a slip of the tongue.
Okay, perfect aminos digest at aincredibly high rate, meaning
that for all the weight thatgoes into your body, 99% is
absorbed as protein, as aminoacids.

(10:21):
Compare that to eggs For everybit of the egg that you ingest,
48% of it will turn intogoodness within your system.
Meat, poultry and fish is atabout 32%.
Whey, soy and nuts is about 18%.
And your typical BCAA?
Believe it or not, I like BCAAs, I like the taste of them, I

(10:42):
like to drink them while I'mworking out, but they're not
really an effective supplementas sold by many of the experts
in the industry.
They have a 1% absorption rate,so Perfect Amino is at the top
of the food chain, so to speak,figuratively, in reality, in
every way, and something that Ihighly recommend is I recommend,

(11:04):
as I said, I've been doingthese for years myself.
They are a paradigm shift insupplementation.
Everyone's talking about proteinbut, again, if you've headed
down the road and you've triedto eat enough protein, you've
probably discovered very quicklythat it's expensive, it's kind
of hard to do and a supplementlike Perfect Amino can make a

(11:25):
huge difference in your abilityto consume and for your body to
utilize enough protein tosupport your active and healthy
lifestyle.
So, again, you'll find perfectaminos at dyrobicom.
Use them however you like, takewhat I said and then adapt it
to your own needs and your ownbudget, and maybe you weigh less

(11:48):
than I do, right?
It's also, you know, this thingis very this is protein is very
much based on your body weight.
This thing is very this isprotein is very much based on
your body weight.
If you're not lifting heavy,you'd likely can be more on the
0.7 grams of protein per bodyweight.
So if you weigh 150 pounds,we're talking in the 120 gram
range of protein, and perfectamino can make it a lot easier

(12:10):
to do.
So you don't have to get quiteso much out of food, saving you
some budget and some chicken andwhatever else are your major
sources of protein.
So until next time, check outPerfect Aminos at dyrobicom.
Use the code podcast10 to save10%, and I will see you again on

(12:32):
the next podcast.
