How Blood Work Unlocked My Peak Performance

What if your “best” isn’t even close to your potential—because your biology is holding you back? I hit a hard truth when my labs came back: decent sleep, strong lifts, and a clean diet masked deeper issues—low testosterone, a stressed liver, skewed omega balance, and a leaky gut. Once I treated my health like I treat my business, with real data and clear KPIs, the ceiling cracked. Focus sharpened, recovery accelerated, sleep deepened, and the way I show up for my family and team changed fast.

I walk through the exact system I use now. We start with measurement—comprehensive blood work to reveal blind spots—then rebuild inputs: clean pre-workout, high-quality creatine, and electrolytes that actually support performance. I share how NAD shots created a steady, clear energy that lasts through training and leadership demands, and how BPC‑157 eased chronic aches by fixing gut integrity instead of masking pain. We get specific about hormone optimization too: bringing testosterone into the optimal range with TRT, supporting natural HGH at night with tesamorelin, and scheduling re-tests every 4–6 months to adjust the plan with precision.

This isn’t about magic bullets. The foundation—mindset, training, sleep, and whole-food nutrition—still does the heavy lifting. But when you align clean inputs, targeted peptides, responsible hormone support, and relentless measurement, you stop normalizing “fine” and start living with consistent drive, clarity, and strength. If you run a business, lead a team, or simply want to feel powerful and present at home, this blueprint shows how to turn yesterday’s peak into today’s baseline. Ready to push your ceiling higher?

SPEAKER_00 (00:00):
If you're somebody that wants to truly feel
unstoppable, you want to hitthat superhuman level status,
you got to make sure that youare optimizing your health.
You don't know what your nextlevel looks like or feels like
until you're there.
If you can truly optimize yourhealth, if you're a higher
performer running a business, ifyou have a family, if you want
to live the ultimate life, thisis going to be one of the most

(00:20):
impactful things you'll ever do.
Like you're doing things everyday that are actually
counterproductive to who youwant to be and what you want to
achieve in this life.
I will never attempt to offeryou something, sell you
something, promote anything thatI don't believe in and that I'm
not living in my own life.
We're on a mission to make amassive impact on the country,
on business owners, on theworld, because so many people

(00:42):
suffer because their health isnot what it needs to be.

(01:04):
I got a good message for youguys today that I want to share
regarding health and fitness andall the supplements and things
that I take to optimize myhealth.
So if you're somebody that wantsto truly feel unstoppable, you
want to hit that superhumanlevel status, you got to make
sure that you are optimizingyour health.
There comes a point where youreach a level that you cannot

(01:25):
surpass if you don't optimizeyour health.
And what I mean by that is I'mdriven, I'm passionate, I got
clarity in my vision.
I've been all in on this missionfor the last 12 years.
And recently I did my blood workand it unveiled my next level,
meaning my next level of focus,of mental fortitude, of
endurance, better sleep, betterperformance in the gym, in my

(01:48):
business, more present with myfamily.
I am just tuned in on a wholedifferent level.
And that's because I did myblood work roughly eight months
ago with Dr.
J.
And I remember Dr.
J kept getting me or wanting meto do my blood work.
And I would tell him, hey man, Ifeel good.
Like I don't need to changeanything.
I feel amazing.
And he goes, Sean, you've justnormalized the level you're at.

(02:09):
You don't know what that nextlevel feels like because you
haven't been there.
And I was like, damn, that's agood one.
And it's true.
Like you don't know what yournext level looks like or feels
like until you're there.
And I'm telling you, man, if youcan truly optimize your health,
if you're a high performerrunning a business, if you have
a family, if you want to livethe ultimate life, this is going
to be one of the most impactfulthings you'll ever do.

(02:30):
So I did my blood work abouteight months ago.
And the best way I can describeit, if you're a business owner,
you'll understand this.
It's like having KPIs or a PLfor your health.
Like you have KPIs and PLs foryour business because you want
to see what's taking place soyou can make informed decisions.
You don't want to go bankrupt,right?
You want to be in the surp in asurplus of revenue and you want
to see growth and all the thingsthat we strive for in a

(02:51):
business.
Or if you don't have a business,it's literally like being able
to see, you know, when you openup your app and you look at your
bank account, you can see howmuch money's being spent, how
much money's coming in.
When you see the numbers, ithelps you to make sense of
what's taking place.
So that's what happened for mewhen I did my blood work.
I saw that my testosterone wasat 500.
Well, for optimal health, menshould be between 800 and 1200.

(03:12):
Not just to get jacked and fitin the gym, but for longevity,
for mental health, to preventthings like dementia and cancer
from developing later on inlife.
When your hormones areoptimized, your cells are
optimized.
And when your cells areoptimized, you live a longer,
better life.
That's the easiest way to putit.
And you'll notice the differenceright away.
Like some guys just don't feelthat spark that they used to

(03:33):
have.
They don't feel as driven,they're lethargic, their mental
health is deteriorating.
They're wondering why they don'thave as positive thoughts or
feel as good in their life.
Their libido is not what it usedto be.
Like these are all symptoms oflow testosterone and hormonal
deficiencies.
So that was the first thing thatstood out.
The next thing that I noticedwas that my cells weren't
absorbing all the nutrients Iwas consuming.

(03:54):
And I had a couple, you know,flat like red flags.
One of my liver counts was high,my omega-6 was high, and I had
something called leaky gut.
So now once I got all thisinformation, me and Dr.
J were able to develop aprotocol, meaning what
supplements do I need to fix myleaky gut, to make sure that my
cells can absorb more nutrients.
What do I need to do to reducethat high liver count?

(04:16):
Why is that high?
That was interesting to me.
I've been sober for 13 years.
You know, all these biomarkersthat I saw, I was now able to
make informed decisions andchange and tweak my lifestyle,
my nutrition to make sure that Icould prevent those things from
getting worse and to remedythem.
So I did.
I changed my pre-workout becausethe pre-workout I was taking had
a bunch of artificial sweetenersand stuff that was creating that

(04:37):
spike in my liver count.
My omega-6, I was eating granolathat I thought was healthy that
actually had seed oil.
So I cut that out.
Why wasn't I absorbing nutrientsproperly?
I was taking vitamins and animalpack is the brand and all this
other stuff.
Well, it turns out most vitaminson the market are really low
quality and there's filler addedto these so-called supplements
that aren't regulated by theFDA.

(04:57):
So you don't really actuallyknow what you're taking.
So I was my mind was blownbecause I thought what I was
doing was everything I needed todo to optimize my health and
just be my best self.
I was fit, I was strong, I waslike 7% body fat.
I thought I was at my my peak,right?
And uh I wasn't.
So now what I do every day, I'mgonna share with you my protocol
that I do every day, and I'mfeeling amazing.

(05:18):
Like the amount of energy andfocus and clarity I have, I'm
performing at the highest levelI've ever performed at.
I'm lifting more weight in thegym, I'm crushing it in
business.
I'm more dedicated and presentfor my family than I've ever
been.
And I have even a bigger senseof overall well-being and
gratitude in my life.
I'm somebody that's always beengrateful because of the
hardships I've gone through.

(05:38):
But when you're building abusiness and the stress that you
take on, or you're having afamily and raising kids, there's
a lot of dynamics there that Isee wear individuals down over
time.
Predominantly business ownersand guys that do a lot of the
stuff that I do, run a business,raise a family, be there for
their wife, all these movingpieces.
Lead your team.
It's a lot, right?
And it wears people down overtime.

(05:59):
I feel so damn good now that Icould 10x what I've been doing.
Like the level that I thought Iwas at before that was my
pinnacle, that's now my newbaseline.
You know what I mean?
And the sky is literally thelimit.
And so I'm gonna share with youguys what I'm taking to what I'm
doing every day to get me tofeel this way.
Every morning I wake up and thefirst thing I do is I do a shot
of NAD.

(06:19):
NAD is a compound that reallyhelps your cells function at a
higher level.
It speeds up recovery, itprevents cellular aging.
You know, you should look intoit.
NAD, Google it right now andresearch it.
A lot of people are starting tocatch on to the benefits, and
it's been so impactful for me.
I do a shot right in the skin ofmy stomach, and it's like a

(06:41):
subcontaneous shot, you call it.
You pinch your skin, you do ashot right there, right when I
wake up, that's what I do.
And it gets you feeling soenergized and focused for your
day.
It's like this natural high,almost like you jumped out of
the ice bath, but you're notshivering.
Um, and you know, it'sdifferent.
It's just this focused, clearenergy.
And when you're doing itconsistently over time, it's
because your cells arefunctioning optimal, and you

(07:04):
feel it in your energy, yourfocus, and all of these positive
benefits.
So the next thing I do afterthat is my morning routine.
I sit down, sip a little coffee,pray, meditate, journal, and
read.
And then before I go and do myworkout, I take creatine, uh
pre-workout, and LMNT, which isa packet with sodium, magnesium,
and calcium.
And those are electrolytes thathelps you with blood flow, with

(07:27):
energy, with all kinds of stuffthat's intracellular, right?
The pre-workout I take is thebest pre-workout on the market.
We're actually going to startproviding this through
Unstoppable 365, my company.
But it's the healthiest,cleanest pre-workout on the
market.
And I changed my pre-workoutfrom bucked up, which I used to
like because it gets you superjacked, uh, after my blood work
because Dr.
J's like, dude, that stuff isreally bad for you.

(07:48):
And some people are takingpre-workout once, two times a
day.
They don't even know whatthey're putting in their body.
That stuff's really harmful.
It's it's it affects your liver,your kidneys.
It's really more detrimentalthan beneficial long term.
So I changed my pre-workout, andthen the creatine I was taking,
I changed as well.
I'm taking the cleanest, bestcreatine on the market.
All of the things I'm taking areprescribed to me from Dr.

(08:10):
J, from his pharmacy, orcompanies that he's connected
with that he's vetted and heapproves.
So all of this stuff we'reeither already making available
through Unstoppable365 or theywill be available on our merch
store, on our e-commerce storein the coming months.
So if you're interested inlearning about any of this
stuff, you can reach out to meon social media.
You probably know my handles.
If not, they'll be in thedescription.

(08:31):
Or go to unstoppable365.com.
Now, the next thing I do after Icome home from a workout is I
take my supplements.
These are basic supplements thatwe all need, but they're high
quality supplements.
I have a morning pack and anevening pack.
The evening pack has uh elementsthat are supposed to help with
sleep, reduce cortisol levelsbecause my cortisol levels were

(08:51):
high when I did my blood test.
So I take the morning pack andthe evening pack, and then I
take BPC157, which is a peptidethat helps with gut health.
It helps remedy leaky gut, whichif you have leaky gut, you have
so many symptoms that you don'teven realize are connected to
your gut health.
Your gut health is the epicenterof so much that takes place
physically and mentally in yourwell-being, right?

(09:15):
So 80% of your immune system islocated in your gut.
Now, 70 to 80% of theneurotransmitters your brain
released start in the gut.
The gut communicates to thebrain, meaning if your gut
health is compromised, a lot ofthings in your life are going to
be affected because of that.
And one of the main things I'venoticed since I started taking
BPC 157, it's just a pill Itake, is the aches and pains in

(09:37):
my shoulder and my knee and allthese old injuries that I had
throughout the years fromlifting and running and
trathlons, they've reduceddrastically.
Like I used to take ibuprofen,I'd go get massages, like none
of that stuff worked.
Getting the inflammation reducedby taking this peptide has
worked wonders for my body.
Like I feel so much better.
I can lift heavier.

(09:58):
I'm lifting almost every day outof the week.
I feel strong and my body feelssound.
It's a great feeling becausebeing injured sucks.
The next thing I'm doing is I doTRT.
So I do a shot of testosteronetwo times a week.
Now, this is to get mytestosterone in optimal range.
I want it between 800 and 1200.
That's to optimize every aspectof my life: my focus, my energy,

(10:19):
my strength in the gym, myrecovery, and longevity.
Now my cells are just operatinglike machines, right?
They're fully optimized becauseof all the stuff that I'm doing.
And the last thing I do is uh ashot every night before bed
called Tesamorlin.
This is a peptide that helpsyour body naturally produce HGH,
which in men, HGH is they callit like the fountain of youth,

(10:40):
okay?
That's what's gonna help you tofeel vital.
It's a key uh hormone that inmost men starts to decline at a
young age.
And so this peptide helps mybody to naturally produce more
HGH.
I do it before bed becausethat's when HGH naturally rises.
So I'm doing all of this stufflike clockwork.
And the thing is, I continue todo my blood work.
Every four to six months, I'mgonna do my blood work to

(11:02):
monitor and see how my body'sreacting.
You know, what are thosebiomarkers?
Are they improving?
Are they optimized, or are therethings that we have to adjust
and fix?
You know, there's an old saying,what doesn't get measured won't
change, whether it's in yourbusiness, your workouts, your
nutrition, or doing things likeI'm sharing with you, peptides
and hormonal replacementtherapy.
You'd be a fool to go get somestuff from a buddy at the gym or

(11:24):
off a website online where youdon't actually know what is in
that vial or what is in thatpill.
Like, that's ridiculous.
Everything I'm doing is done ina in a manner that's gonna
optimize my health, but it'sdone in a way that we can
guarantee results because we aredoing it the right way, like a
professional athlete would.
And if you can't get theinformation, see the

(11:44):
information, you can't makethese informed decisions that
are gonna have a positive impacton your life.
Now, don't get me wrong, thefoundation is still gonna be
your mindset, your habits, yourtraining in the gym, your
nutrition.
I've had those things dialed infor years.
Now I'm taking everything to thenext level and I'm always
looking for what's the nextthing that I can do or add on to

(12:05):
my regimen that's gonna give methat much more of an edge.
I love it.
It's exciting to me to getbetter each and every day.
Just like I read books and getstronger in the gym, just like
I'm having more babies andgrowing my family, dude.
I want to continue to grow andevolve until the day I die.
And some people might go, dude,Sean, like that's a lot of stuff
you're taking.
Like, why are you doing allthat?
Check it out, man.

(12:26):
I'm on the extreme end of thespectrum when it comes to
optimization.
But I used to live for manyyears on the other end of the
spectrum, completely ruining myhealth, total disregard for my
health and well-being.
I used to put pills in my body,drugs, alcohol.
I used to take pills that Ididn't know where they came
from.
You know, I used to completelydamage my body, you know, my

(12:46):
liver, my kidneys, like myorgans.
They were probably suffering.
Luckily, I was young and I hadtime to rebound from that stuff
when I got sober.
But early on in my life, youknow, I used to put all this
stuff in my body or eat thisfood that wasn't healthy.
And a lot of you right nowlistening to this, you put
alcohol in your body that'spoisonous, you take ibuprofen
pills that are actually harmfulto your health.
You eat food every day that haspoison and toxins that affect

(13:09):
your health, your mental health,your weight, your overall
well-being.
Like you're doing things everyday that are actually
counterproductive to who youwant to be and what you want to
achieve in this life.
So, what I've done is I've takenmy focus, my drive, and my
desire to be the best.
And now I'm doing everything ofmy power to get that edge, like
I said, to get 1% better eachand every day.

(13:31):
And the amount of energy andfocus and just the way I feel,
like my level of inspiration hasnever been greater.
So that's why I'm sharing thismessage with you guys today.
