Jeffrey Mort explores the dangerous myth of health quick fixes and shares a proven, sustainable path to vibrant energy and long-term health for busy entrepreneurs.
• Entrepreneurs often push through brain fog, energy crashes, and poor sleep thinking it's normal
• Quick-fix solutions like trendy supplements, extreme diets, and biohacks often fail because they don't address root causes
• The body is like a business—without a solid foundation, fancy tactics won't work
• First pillar: Clean up your inputs (water, air, food) including half your body weight in ounces of water daily
• Second pillar: Master your sleep with strict wind-down routines and morning sunlight exposure
• Third pillar: Find the right movement for your body—excessive intensity can worsen stress
• Fourth pillar: Use precision testing instead of expensive guessing on supplements and protocols
• Fifth pillar: Approach supplementation strategically, starting with fundamentals before advanced products
• Building muscle is crucial for metabolism, especially after age 40
• Real transformation happens when you commit to foundations rather than chasing trends

Hello, I'm Jeffrey Mort.
(01:27):

Yet who's taking care of you.
If you're ready to take yourenergy and performance to the

(01:51):
.
I'm grateful you're here yes,always grateful for you joining
me here today on the BreakingBoundaries for Entrepreneurs
podcast.
I'm your host andhighperformance health coach,
jeffrey Mort, and let's dialthis back here to 2014.
You may have heard me referencethat year before.
This was back when I was wakingup, absolutely exhausted.
(02:15):
I was stiff, I was sore, I wasmore tired than when I went to
bed, my energy was absolutely inthe gutter, my brain fog was
absolutely brutal and no matterwhat I tried, I felt like I was
fighting my own body and, trustme, I tried everything.
I used to do the I don't evenwant to say the name of the
(02:38):
coffee, but the coffee where youwere recommended to load up
your coffee with butter like itwas a health elixir Boy, I was
doing that to an extreme.
And then the mushroom powders Idown them daily.
I would actually add them to mycoffee, waiting for some magic
focus boost.
(02:58):
And then cannabis yes, I triedusing it to manage stress and
sleep and pain and I will say,in some aspect it was helpful.
But again, you know, I waslooking for that, uh, that
silver bullet.
And then the fitness trends.
Well, I, you know I wouldn'tsay that I was into following
fitness trends, but I did try togo that route myself and I
(03:20):
wasn't making any progressbecause I had no idea what I was
doing back then.
I honestly didn't, until Ihired a coach.
But what most entrepreneurs aredoing, they're jumping from one
extreme to another, likehigh-intensity interval training
or CrossFit or fasting or keto.
And you know, do I recommendsome of those things in my
practice?
Well, yes, of course I do, butthere's a time and a place for
(03:43):
that.
This Well, yes, of course I do,but there's a time and a place
for that.
And you may have heard me sayit before.
You know, if somebody's goingfrom zero to CrossFit in one
step, they're going to get hurt.
They really are.
And you know that's what I wasdoing is I was jumping from one
thing to another and I said,until I hired a coach.
The coach that I hired trainedme in Tai Chi and Qigong, but he
had a athletic background so hetrained us as tai chi athletes
(04:06):
and he really he took me slowthrough that process and it was
frustrating because I wanted togo right into the you know, the
hardcore stuff and he was likeoh no, no, no, no, that's,
that's not how we do things here, like we'll get there but
you're not there yet and and soyou know what Some of these
things can help, but not whenyou're just throwing darts in
(04:28):
the dark.
I was guessing I was chasingtrends.
I was certainly wasting timeand money on things that weren't
addressing the real root causesof my low energy, my brain fog
and my stress, and that's whatmost entrepreneurs are doing
right now.
And as I'm talking about this,I'm remembering back what it was
like like waking up after youknow, getting four or five hours
(04:52):
of sleep and then driving towork in the dark.
My body was literally shakingbecause my central nervous
system was so dysregulated fromsleep deprivation and staying up
too late the night before andhaving alcohol during the week
and all these things.
You know.
I remember being so foggy inthe morning that I would
(05:12):
literally run through a redlight and not even realize it.
Cars were beeping their hornsat me and I'm like what I was
that light red.
I didn't even notice and I wasreally putting my life on the
line.
And then back then, of course,I was working in the
construction industry and youknow, working around heavy
equipment and beingirresponsible is really what I
(05:32):
was doing.
But technically I wasresponsible for, of course, my
life and safety and the safetyof my crew at the time, and I
was really.
I was putting myself and otherpeople in jeopardy, and that's
when I realized it was reallytime for a change.
And you know, that's what mostentrepreneurs are doing right
now is they're just, they'rethrowing darts with their eyes
(05:53):
closed.
And the harsh truth is, you knowI'll share with you why quick
fixes don't work.
You know, the biggest lie inthe wellness industry is that
one pill or one superfood or onebiohack will fix everything.
And listen, your body is like abusiness.
(06:14):
You wouldn't build a companywithout a strategy, right?
You wouldn't just throw moneyat random marketing tactics and
hope something works.
I laugh because I did that aswell when I first was in
business.
You know, when it comes tohealth, that's exactly what
people are doing.
And the truth if your foundationisn't solid, all the fancy
(06:35):
biohacks in the world won't saveyou, and I'll go back to a
construction analogy If youdon't have a solid foundation,
that building is not going tostand tall, it's going to fall
over.
No-transcript.
You know metaphor, but it's aliteral example of how a poor
(06:56):
foundation can cause a buildingto topple over.
So you know you might bewondering what is the solution.
I've kind of broken this downinto five foundational pillars,
speaking of towers, fivefoundational pillars for high
performance, health.
And so here's what actuallyworks, these five foundational
pillars that every highperformer needs to master.
(07:19):
Number one clean up your inputs.
What am I talking about here?
Your water, your air, your food.
Let's start with the water.
If you wouldn't expect yourbusiness to run without cash
flow, why would you expect yourbody to run without clean
hydration?
Half of your body weight inounces daily is what you want to
(07:41):
get into your body, into yourbody, and when I start working
with a client, that's one of thequestions that I ask them is
how much water are you drinking?
And unanimously, they all admitnot enough, not enough.
So you know a baseline is halfyour weight and body weight in
ounces daily.
So pounds to ounces, if justround numbers.
(08:02):
If somebody weighs 200 pounds,then they should be drinking 100
ounces of water on a dailybasis, particularly from upon
waking to before dinner.
You really don't want to drinkthat much water after dinner.
You also don't want to drinkthat much water around meals.
It dilutes your digestiveenzymes and then you're going to
have a harder time breakingdown and absorbing your food.
But I'm just I'm going a littletoo deep here.
(08:23):
So back to just drinking thewater and then adding a pinch of
sea salt to absorb it properly.
Squeeze in some lemon, squeezein some lime.
Now you have what we callnatural gatorade.
It's a great balance of sodiumand potassium with your
hydration that's going tosupport your adrenals.
Do that upon waking.
Do that in the afternoon.
You may have just heard myalarm go off there.
That's my alarm to drink mywater in the afternoon.
(08:46):
So try that Now.
Next, cleaning up your inputs,the air, the air that you
breathe, air.
Indoor air is five times moretoxic than outdoor air,
approximately.
So open your windows, get anair quality purifier.
We recommend air doctor.
I have no affiliation with themwhatsoever, but you know you go
on amazon, find air doctor, uh,air filters for inside, and you
(09:10):
know, I'll tell you this rightnow ditch synthetic fragrances,
anything.
Get rid of rid of those candles.
You know I'm from the NortheastYankee.
Candle is huge around here andI'll tell you, if you travel to
Deerfield, massachusetts, onRoute 91, before you even get to
the town you're going toactually smell the candles.
Imagine the toxicity buildup inthe people, in the employees
(09:31):
that are actually working inthat candle factory.
It's mind-boggling.
So to bring one of thosecandles into your home and light
that, and that's just oneexample.
I mean we can go on and onabout fabric softeners and
carpet cleaners and floorcleaner and things like that.
Anything that puts a syntheticfragrance into the air is a
toxicity.
Get those windows open,especially now uh, recording
(09:53):
this in march, so you know it'sgetting warmer out, we can be
outside.
Oh, I just had the windows open, absolutely amazing, and so not
to go too deep.
We talked about water, wetalked about air.
Now food stop guessing.
Food intolerances and nutrientdeficiencies are silently
wrecking your health.
You want to prioritize wholefoods, organic foods, and get
(10:15):
tested with a food sensitivitytest to see what your body
actually is accepting and whatyou're having a delayed immune
response to up to 72 hours laterthan you eat something that you
might think is healthy, likealmonds or chicken or spinach or
pineapple.
You could have a foodsensitivity delayed inflammatory
(10:35):
response up to three days aftereating something like that.
Believe me, it's difficult topinpoint that without running a
food sensitivity test.
You can find those over on ourshop page as well, and you can
learn about food sensitivitytesting at our learning center.
Love energy, wellnesscomforward slash learn is our
learning center.
So let's move into step numbertwo here.
(10:57):
Master your sleep, becausesleep is your superpower.
Set a strict wind down routineno screens, no stress, just calm
.
But don't watch that 11 o'clocknews.
You know you probably shouldn'tbe staying up till 11 o'clock
anyways, and it's mostly badnews.
So there, I just fixed thatproblem for you.
Block artificial blue light,not just in the evening and at
(11:18):
nighttime.
You know most of us digitalentrepreneurs are on our screens
.
We got a ring light or somesort of artificial light in our
eyes most of the day.
So Viveraze has a greatsolution to that.
You might've read about that alittle bit.
If you subscribe to our From theHeart newsletter, our weekly
newsletter that comes out, andif you're not subscribed, what
(11:40):
are you waiting for?
Get on over to love energywellnesscom.
Scroll down to the bottom ofthe home page.
You can subscribe right there.
Get on that uh, on that trainthere.
And if you check out vivaraysv-i-v-a-r-a-y, you know these
aren't just your average bluelight blocking glasses.
They actually have athree-in-one pair that's great
for all day long, especially ifyou're on screens all day long,
(12:03):
and you can use code LOVE-ENERGYfor your discount as well, for
our community.
Next, get morning sunlightwithin the first 30 minutes of
waking.
I also wrote an article aboutthis and touched on this in our
From the Heart newsletter.
Absolutely amazing.
Light is a nutrient andactually last week's episode was
(12:23):
also on this as well.
Light daylight is a nutrient.
This supercharges yourmitochondria, your energy
powerhouses.
The sunlight sends outfrequency and vibration that
actually communicates with yourcentral nervous system and the
cells in your body and themitochondria in your cells.
This is going to help you tomaster your sleep and then track
(12:45):
your overnight stress responsewith a bedtime cortisol test.
You can wear an apple watch,like I do, or an aura ring and
track your heart ratevariability.
That is a great metric for theamount of stress response that
your body is under number three.
Right, the right movement foryour body.
More is not always better, as Ialluded to earlier.
(13:06):
If your stress is high,excessive high intensity
training can make things worse.
That's right.
Exercise is a hermetic stressorand it increases cortisol.
So you want just the rightamount and not too late at night
.
You know, if you're eatingdinner and then going to the gym
and coming right home and maybeeating some protein to build
that muscle and going to bed,that is what I was.
(13:27):
Exercising until nine o'clockat night and then I was coming
home and eating dinner andprobably having a cocktail at
nine, 30, 10 o'clock at night,staying up till midnight,
getting up at three, 34 AM, likethat was my.
That was my crazy cycle.
(13:47):
That was craziness.
You know now that I know what Iknow, I can't unknow that.
So the right movement for yourbody focus on a blend of
strength, mobility andrestorative movement.
You know yoga is not just for um.
You know yogis and old peopleand senior citizens yoga is, can
be absolutely fantastic.
Yoga can kick your ass.
(14:08):
I'm telling you, uh, boho,beautiful if you look up uh
their yoga program and type intheir um.
You know cardio, 10 minutes ofcardio following juliana.
Oh my goodness, she will.
She'll kick your ass, shereally will.
Um, build muscle is somethingelse that you want to do because
and you know it's difficultthis is what another one of want
to do, because and you knowit's difficult this is what
another one of my coaches ismuscle and bone specialist and
(14:32):
he told me that you eventuallyreach a time in your life where
you're unable to build muscleanymore and you start to lose
muscle mass.
This is called sarcopenia.
Now that I know these thingsand you know, you can still
maintain what you have, but it'sdifficult to build that and I
said, oh my goodness, I've neverbeen to the gym in my life.
Well, I did a couple of timeswhen I was in my late teens,
(14:53):
early twenties, and it washorrible.
But now I go, I alternate threedays a week and then five days
a week, and it's absolutelyamazing.
So over 50 years old, I'm stillable to build muscle.
So if you're over 40 and you'renot lifting weights, your
metabolism is dropping, yourmetabolism is suffering.
So you definitely want to workthat into your program.
(15:14):
Number four precision testing.
Because guessing is expensive,my friends, let me ask you
something how much have youspent on supplements or diets
that didn't work.
Probably a lot Probably as muchas I did, if not more than I
used to uh back then.
So with at-home functional labtesting, you'll know exactly
what's missing and what'soverloading your system.
(15:37):
Guessing is expensive, sotesting is much more economical
than just throwing your moneyout the window on strategies.
That well, strategy is usuallyproven and will work.
But you know, randomness iswhat's expensive.
So the testing tells youexactly what you need.
And then, number five,strategic supplementation.
(15:57):
And this is beyond the basics,but you know most people are
trying to biohack too soon.
You want to start with thefundamentals a functional grade
grade multivitamin, amulti-mineral.
If you're savvy, like ourlisteners are, they're using our
daily nutritional supportpowder, which is a 12 and 1
multivitamin multi-mineral,detox cofactors, amino acids,
(16:19):
protein powder.
It's absolutely amazing.
It's got it all in there.
It's functional medicine grade.
It's backed by science, it'sthird-party tested.
It's got 60 day money back.
It's functional medicine grade.
It's backed by science, it'sthird-party tested.
It's got 60-day money-backguarantee.
Like you can't go wrong withthat stuff.
And then adding in things likeomega-3s and vitamin D3.
These are things that everybodyneeds.
Vitamin D3, now that'ssomething that should be done,
(16:41):
dosed according to testing.
You want to be optimizedbetween somewhere in 50 to 70
nanograms per milliliter range.
There, you know, conventionalmedicine will tell you 30 to 50
is normal and nothing to befurther from the truth.
Functional medicine says 50 isat the low end of functionally
normal.
Anything below 50 isfunctionally low.
(17:01):
50 to 70 is optimized and youcan actually go up to 80.
So you know, start with thefundamentals, that's important,
and then, and only then, can youmove into more advanced
longevity supplements.
Like I mean, you know there'sfour tiers that we're taught in
high performance health forlongevity supplements.
Tier one has your basics, likeyour multivitamin, your omega-3,
(17:24):
your digestive enzymes uh,fruit and veggie blend, things
like that-3, your digestiveenzymes uh, fruit and veggie
blend, things like that.
You know.
Actually, I think the fruit andveggie blend is actually in
tier two, and then it moves totier three and in tier four has
things like peptides and fisetin, which makes sense after you're
doing the foundational thing.
So there's a progression here.
A lot of people reach out to meand they say, oh jeff, what do
you think about peptides?
(17:45):
Or you know this latest andpeptides are short chain amino
acids that can be beneficial forlongevity, but you wouldn't
well, I wouldn't recommendsomebody taking a peptide if
they're not, for us taking amultivitamin, omega-3s, like
that's just.
You know, I can't unknow what Iknow, so, and I'm bringing that
to you, so now you know.
So, wrapping things up here,what's next?
(18:07):
Listen, I know the world is fullof quick fixes promising to
give you the body, the energyand the clarity that you want,
but real transformation happenswhen you stop chasing and start
committing, and I am 100%committed to getting you the
results that you're looking for.
The question is, are you 100%committed to and I get it?
Commitment can feeloverwhelming when you don't know
(18:29):
exactly where to start, andthat's why I'm here to help you
to get started.
So if you've been spinning yourwheels, if you feel like your
health is holding you back fromyour business, your family, your
joy, let's talk, let's have aconversation.
No sales pitch, no pressure,just a real conversation about
you.

Entrepreneurs, high performers, I see you.
You're out there hustling,you're grinding, you're pushing
forward, you're building yourbusiness, leading your family,
making things happen.
But tell me what happens whenyour body starts pushing back?
The brain fog that makesdecisions harder than they
(00:21):
should be.
That midday energy crash thathappens every single day, that
wipe out your productivity.
The restless nights that leaveyou drained before the day even
begins.
The creeping fear that maybethis is just how it is now.
Look, I get it because I'vebeen there, and today we're

(07:19):
Number one clean up your inputs.
What am I talking about here?
Your water, your air, your food.
Let's start with the water.
If you wouldn't expect yourbusiness to run without cash
flow, why would you expect yourbody to run without clean
hydration?
Half of your body weight inounces daily is what you want to
(07:41):
get into your body, into yourbody, and when I start working
with a client, that's one of thequestions that I ask them is
how much water are you drinking?
And unanimously, they all admitnot enough, not enough.
So you know a baseline is halfyour weight and body weight in
ounces daily.
So pounds to ounces, if justround numbers.
(08:02):
If somebody weighs 200 pounds,then they should be drinking 100
ounces of water on a dailybasis, particularly from upon
waking to before dinner.
You really don't want to drinkthat much water after dinner.
You also don't want to drinkthat much water around meals.
It dilutes your digestiveenzymes and then you're going to
have a harder time breakingdown and absorbing your food.
But I'm just I'm going a littletoo deep here.
(08:23):
So back to just drinking thewater and then adding a pinch of
sea salt to absorb it properly.
Squeeze in some lemon, squeezein some lime.
Now you have what we callnatural gatorade.
It's a great balance of sodiumand potassium with your
hydration that's going tosupport your adrenals.
Do that upon waking.
Do that in the afternoon.
You may have just heard myalarm go off there.
That's my alarm to drink mywater in the afternoon.
(08:46):
So try that Now.
Next, cleaning up your inputs,the air, the air that you
breathe, air.
Indoor air is five times moretoxic than outdoor air,
approximately.
So open your windows, get anair quality purifier.
We recommend air doctor.
I have no affiliation with themwhatsoever, but you know you go
on amazon, find air doctor, uh,air filters for inside, and you
(09:10):
know, I'll tell you this rightnow ditch synthetic fragrances,
anything.
Get rid of rid of those candles.
You know I'm from the NortheastYankee.
Candle is huge around here andI'll tell you, if you travel to
Deerfield, massachusetts, onRoute 91, before you even get to
the town you're going toactually smell the candles.
Imagine the toxicity buildup inthe people, in the employees
(09:31):
that are actually working inthat candle factory.
It's mind-boggling.
So to bring one of thosecandles into your home and light
that, and that's just oneexample.
I mean we can go on and onabout fabric softeners and
carpet cleaners and floorcleaner and things like that.
Anything that puts a syntheticfragrance into the air is a
toxicity.
Get those windows open,especially now uh, recording
(09:53):
this in march, so you know it'sgetting warmer out, we can be
outside.
Oh, I just had the windows open, absolutely amazing, and so not
to go too deep.
We talked about water, wetalked about air.
Now food stop guessing.
Food intolerances and nutrientdeficiencies are silently
wrecking your health.
You want to prioritize wholefoods, organic foods, and get
(10:15):
tested with a food sensitivitytest to see what your body
actually is accepting and whatyou're having a delayed immune
response to up to 72 hours laterthan you eat something that you
might think is healthy, likealmonds or chicken or spinach or
pineapple.
You could have a foodsensitivity delayed inflammatory
(10:35):
response up to three days aftereating something like that.
Believe me, it's difficult topinpoint that without running a
food sensitivity test.
You can find those over on ourshop page as well, and you can
learn about food sensitivitytesting at our learning center.
Love energy, wellnesscomforward slash learn is our
learning center.
So let's move into step numbertwo here.
(10:57):
Master your sleep, becausesleep is your superpower.
Set a strict wind down routineno screens, no stress, just calm
.
But don't watch that 11 o'clocknews.
You know you probably shouldn'tbe staying up till 11 o'clock
anyways, and it's mostly badnews.
So there, I just fixed thatproblem for you.
Block artificial blue light,not just in the evening and at
(11:18):
nighttime.
You know most of us digitalentrepreneurs are on our screens
.
We got a ring light or somesort of artificial light in our
eyes most of the day.
So Viveraze has a greatsolution to that.
You might've read about that alittle bit.
If you subscribe to our From theHeart newsletter, our weekly
newsletter that comes out, andif you're not subscribed, what
(11:40):
are you waiting for?
Get on over to love energywellnesscom.
Scroll down to the bottom ofthe home page.
You can subscribe right there.
Get on that uh, on that trainthere.
And if you check out vivaraysv-i-v-a-r-a-y, you know these
aren't just your average bluelight blocking glasses.
They actually have athree-in-one pair that's great
for all day long, especially ifyou're on screens all day long,
(12:03):
and you can use code LOVE-ENERGYfor your discount as well, for
our community.
Next, get morning sunlightwithin the first 30 minutes of
waking.
I also wrote an article aboutthis and touched on this in our
From the Heart newsletter.
Absolutely amazing.
Light is a nutrient andactually last week's episode was
(12:23):
also on this as well.
Light daylight is a nutrient.
This supercharges yourmitochondria, your energy
powerhouses.
The sunlight sends outfrequency and vibration that
actually communicates with yourcentral nervous system and the
cells in your body and themitochondria in your cells.
This is going to help you tomaster your sleep and then track
(12:45):
your overnight stress responsewith a bedtime cortisol test.
You can wear an apple watch,like I do, or an aura ring and
track your heart ratevariability.
That is a great metric for theamount of stress response that
your body is under number three.
Right, the right movement foryour body.
More is not always better, as Ialluded to earlier.
(13:06):
If your stress is high,excessive high intensity
training can make things worse.
That's right.
Exercise is a hermetic stressorand it increases cortisol.
So you want just the rightamount and not too late at night
.
You know, if you're eatingdinner and then going to the gym
and coming right home and maybeeating some protein to build
that muscle and going to bed,that is what I was.
(13:27):
Exercising until nine o'clockat night and then I was coming
home and eating dinner andprobably having a cocktail at
nine, 30, 10 o'clock at night,staying up till midnight,
getting up at three, 34 AM, likethat was my.
That was my crazy cycle.
(13:47):
That was craziness.
You know now that I know what Iknow, I can't unknow that.
So the right movement for yourbody focus on a blend of
strength, mobility andrestorative movement.
You know yoga is not just for um.
You know yogis and old peopleand senior citizens yoga is, can
be absolutely fantastic.
Yoga can kick your ass.
(14:08):
I'm telling you, uh, boho,beautiful if you look up uh
their yoga program and type intheir um.
You know cardio, 10 minutes ofcardio following juliana.
Oh my goodness, she will.
She'll kick your ass, shereally will.
Um, build muscle is somethingelse that you want to do because
and you know it's difficultthis is what another one of want
to do, because and you knowit's difficult this is what
another one of my coaches ismuscle and bone specialist and
(14:32):
he told me that you eventuallyreach a time in your life where
you're unable to build muscleanymore and you start to lose
muscle mass.
This is called sarcopenia.
Now that I know these thingsand you know, you can still
maintain what you have, but it'sdifficult to build that and I
said, oh my goodness, I've neverbeen to the gym in my life.
Well, I did a couple of timeswhen I was in my late teens,
(14:53):
early twenties, and it washorrible.
But now I go, I alternate threedays a week and then five days
a week, and it's absolutelyamazing.
So over 50 years old, I'm stillable to build muscle.
So if you're over 40 and you'renot lifting weights, your
metabolism is dropping, yourmetabolism is suffering.
So you definitely want to workthat into your program.
(15:14):
Number four precision testing.
Because guessing is expensive,my friends, let me ask you
something how much have youspent on supplements or diets
that didn't work.
Probably a lot Probably as muchas I did, if not more than I
used to uh back then.
So with at-home functional labtesting, you'll know exactly
what's missing and what'soverloading your system.
(15:37):
Guessing is expensive, sotesting is much more economical
than just throwing your moneyout the window on strategies.
That well, strategy is usuallyproven and will work.
But you know, randomness iswhat's expensive.
So the testing tells youexactly what you need.
And then, number five,strategic supplementation.
(15:57):
And this is beyond the basics,but you know most people are
trying to biohack too soon.
You want to start with thefundamentals a functional grade
grade multivitamin, amulti-mineral.
If you're savvy, like ourlisteners are, they're using our
daily nutritional supportpowder, which is a 12 and 1
multivitamin multi-mineral,detox cofactors, amino acids,
(16:19):
protein powder.
It's absolutely amazing.
It's got it all in there.
It's functional medicine grade.
It's backed by science, it'sthird-party tested.
It's got 60 day money back.
It's functional medicine grade.
It's backed by science, it'sthird-party tested.
It's got 60-day money-backguarantee.
Like you can't go wrong withthat stuff.
And then adding in things likeomega-3s and vitamin D3.
These are things that everybodyneeds.
Vitamin D3, now that'ssomething that should be done,
(16:41):
dosed according to testing.
You want to be optimizedbetween somewhere in 50 to 70
nanograms per milliliter range.
There, you know, conventionalmedicine will tell you 30 to 50
is normal and nothing to befurther from the truth.
Functional medicine says 50 isat the low end of functionally
normal.
Anything below 50 isfunctionally low.
(17:01):
50 to 70 is optimized and youcan actually go up to 80.
So you know, start with thefundamentals, that's important,
and then, and only then, can youmove into more advanced
longevity supplements.
Like I mean, you know there'sfour tiers that we're taught in
high performance health forlongevity supplements.
Tier one has your basics, likeyour multivitamin, your omega-3,
(17:24):
your digestive enzymes uh,fruit and veggie blend, things
like that-3, your digestiveenzymes uh, fruit and veggie
blend, things like that.
You know.
Actually, I think the fruit andveggie blend is actually in
tier two, and then it moves totier three and in tier four has
things like peptides and fisetin, which makes sense after you're
doing the foundational thing.
So there's a progression here.
A lot of people reach out to meand they say, oh jeff, what do
you think about peptides?
(17:45):
Or you know this latest andpeptides are short chain amino
acids that can be beneficial forlongevity, but you wouldn't
well, I wouldn't recommendsomebody taking a peptide if
they're not, for us taking amultivitamin, omega-3s, like
that's just.
You know, I can't unknow what Iknow, so, and I'm bringing that
to you, so now you know.
So, wrapping things up here,what's next?
(18:07):
Listen, I know the world is fullof quick fixes promising to
give you the body, the energyand the clarity that you want,
but real transformation happenswhen you stop chasing and start
committing, and I am 100%committed to getting you the
results that you're looking for.
The question is, are you 100%committed to and I get it?
Commitment can feeloverwhelming when you don't know
(18:29):
exactly where to start, andthat's why I'm here to help you
to get started.
So if you've been spinning yourwheels, if you feel like your
health is holding you back fromyour business, your family, your
joy, let's talk, let's have aconversation.
No sales pitch, no pressure,just a real conversation about
you.
