The connection between optimal health and your ability to handle stress isn't just psychological—it's biochemical. When your cellular health is optimized, everything from business challenges to personal relationships becomes easier to navigate with clarity and confidence.
Dr. J reveals why your traditional doctor's blood tests are dangerously inadequate, measuring only basic disease markers while missing the critical indicators of optimal cellular function. The lab testing most people receive is designed around a 1960s "sick care" model rather than true performance optimization. Without measuring the right biomarkers, you're operating blind when it comes to your health.
The conversation takes a fascinating turn when discussing evening relaxation habits. That beer and Netflix routine you think is helping you unwind? Science shows it's actually triggering massive stress responses in your body. Your brain can't differentiate between the action sequences you're watching and real-life danger, keeping your cortisol elevated when it should be declining. Meanwhile, the alcohol disrupts testosterone and growth hormone production for up to 72 hours afterward.
Peptides like BPC-157 emerge as powerful tools for cellular healing and stress resilience, working at the DNA level to optimize cell function throughout the body. Mitochondrial health—your cellular energy factories—proves to be the foundation of sustained performance, with proper omega-3 supplementation playing a crucial role most people dramatically underestimate.
Your health isn't just about avoiding disease—it's your primary competitive advantage in business and life. Each of your trillions of cells contributes to how you show up, perform, and respond under pressure. Don't wait until something breaks down to take action.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I handle stress differently.
You think of stress as beingpredominantly psychological.
You know what I've been through.
I've been through a lot ofstuff, so I handle things pretty
well.
But raising children, growing abusiness there's stress
involved and I've just noticedthe healthier I've gotten, the
easier it is to deal with stressand pressure.
And when you're stressed out,everything in life just sucks.
Man, You're not as obviouslyhappy, You're not enjoying your
(00:20):
relationships.
You just don't have a lot ofclarity.
You're almost in damage control, all the time putting out fires
.
I feel like about three monthsago, everything that I was
starting to take and change inmy just lifestyle converged Like
you notice initial benefits andchanges, but I feel like
everything's just reallyconverged to the point where
it's just I'm optimized.
Now, Welcome back to anotherepisode of the Unstoppable
(00:49):
Mindset Podcast.
I'm your host, Sean Crane, andI got my man, Dr J, in the house
.
I'm excited, man.
I got some good questions foryou, Dr J, Real quick, though
you know we love the technologystuff.
I have to make an adjustmentreal quick on the tech stuff, so
I want you to share with theviewers.
I have to make an adjustmentreal quick on the tech stuff, so
I want you to share with theviewers.
Give them a quick little youknow one minute story about how
(01:09):
you became a doctor, Like likewhat are your credentials and
backgrounds?
Just real quick, I just want tohear it from you.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Yeah.
So it just kind of happened likeit was supposed to happen and
just kind of I was directed downthe path that I needed to take
to be able to reach this point,cause I've always been
interested in health, I'vealways been interested in
helping people to improve theirhealth, and actually out of high
school I got a job at WalgreensPharmacy working in the
pharmacy dispensing medications,and I quickly realized that I
(01:36):
did not feel like I was helpinganyone.
Basically, we were just coveringup their symptoms with those
pills and, of course, there's atime and place for that and so I
was trying to figure out what Iwanted to do.
And then when I found out aboutnaturopathic medicine a
practice of medicine thataddresses the root cause and
helps people to build health andto not need medications, get
(01:57):
off medications I was likethat's what I need to do and so
kind of changed my wholetrajectory of where I was going
to do, where I was going to goand the type of doctor that I
was going to be, and went andlearned, put a lot of extra work
in to be able to make thathappen.
And here we are now, almost 20years later, making magic happen
(02:19):
, helping people feel their bestand unlocking people's true
potential.
Reversing disease, getting offmedications all the fun stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I love it, dude, that's perfect.
I just wanted the viewers andeveryone that because, like,
they hear me talk about you allthe time and people are like
who's Dr J?
Like, what is his background?
I think it's really cool howyou got to this point and I love
it because you're like me, man,you're not following the
traditional path of what peopletold you have to do, like you
realize, no, this isn't theright way, there's a better way,
and look where it's brought you.
(02:46):
I have a lot of questions thatI want to ask you today, but
also I just want to point thatout, like for anyone listening.
You know you don't always haveto go the traditional route If
you find something that's notworking properly or if you know
a better way to do it.
Like you know, you got tofollow your heart, man, and it
(03:06):
leads to something bigger andbetter.
That's how we became partners,that's how we're here building
this company at Unstoppable 365.
And we have so many people whoare predominantly business
owners, entrepreneurs, parents,just adults, who have a lot of
pressure and stress on them toperform at a high level.
And one of the common themes isif you don't have your health,
it's really hard to consistentlyperform at a high level.
One of the things I've noticedsince I personally optimize my
(03:31):
health and taking the rightsupplements, optimizing my
hormones, taking the rightpeptides is something you told
me I didn't really think itwould happen, but it has.
I handle stress differently.
You think of stress as beingpredominantly psychological,
right and dude.
You know what I've been through.
I've been through a lot ofstuff, so I handle things pretty
well.
But raising children, growing abusiness, there's stress
involved and I've just noticedthe healthier I've gotten, the
easier it is to deal with stressand pressure-filled situations,
(03:55):
right, so why is that?
Talk to the people out therewho are under a lot of stress
right now, whether it's in abusiness or whether it's in
their marriage, like, how doeshealth correlate to stress and
the ability to handle stress?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, no, that's a great question, um, and the
thing is, it's all all connected.
Um, there there's nothing,there's no way you can separate.
You know, your health, whetherit's just your digestive health,
your, your joint health, yourmuscle health, your brain health
and your fitness and all things, they're, they're all connected
.
You are one whole, entire being.
Um, you know all of you istogether and so every part
(04:29):
affects the other part.
And so, um, whether it's astress, you know, like an
argument with your spouse, likehopefully none of us ever argue
with our, with our wives, right,but sometimes that happens, um
or whether it's a deadline atwork or an employee that's doing
something, you have to respondin a certain way, and it's just
(04:50):
part of life, all these stresses.
And so, when you are stronger,when you are unstoppable, when
you have that resilience to beable to get through and it's not
just on the surface Sometimesthere's a difference between
fitness and health.
Of course, fitness is part ofhealth, but we need to make sure
that it's all all connected sothat you, you can withstand that
and truly become unstoppable.
(05:11):
Um, and so you know we can, ifyou want the science lesson we
can dive into the cortisolresponse and all that, but um,
it's, it's.
You know, just knowing thatyou're stronger, knowing your
mindset is where it needs to be,is is a big, big driver and
helpful and helpful for that?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
yeah, dude, absolutely okay, you ready for
some, uh, other rapid firequestions, dr?
J I'm gonna, I'm gonna ask yousome stuff that I think would be
super insightful for peoplewatching.
Yeah, okay, uh, a lot of peopleask about blood tests.
It actually had this guy rightnow, um, on instagram live and
he was commenting saying youdon't need a specialty doctor,
(05:46):
just go to your regular doctorfor blood tests, right?
And there's a big differencebetween a traditional doctor's
blood panel and the in-depthblood panels you do.
So which blood tests shouldbusiness owners regularly
monitor to optimize energy focusand longevity?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Right, oh, that's a good question.
So just kind of the, thegeneral response I have to that,
because I was thinking about um, that idea a lot this week
actually.
Um, so there's kind ofdifferent phases of lab testing.
There's the, the conventionalinsurance cover labs, like the
bare minimum.
The, the sick care model thatyou go to your regular doctor,
like that instagram comment wasmaking, and what they look at.
(06:27):
They are looking at labs thatthey can give you a pill for to
cover up for sick care, sothat's like the lowest level,
just managing symptoms, types oflabs.
Okay, so that's step number one,the super, super old fashioned
conventional way that wasinvented in the 1960s.
And then there's step two,which some people think is is is
(06:48):
what we do, but but I'llexplain the difference.
And then there's this newertype of lab testing called like,
functional lab testing, right,where they can do, they can take
the labs and they'll look atthem a little bit different, do
a little bit deeper dive.
They might do a couple littlethings there and build a more
customized plan.
Right, that's what functionalmedicine do.
They'll do some labs and dosome testing.
(07:09):
So really that's the old model.
That's basically what was goingon in the 90s, early 2000s.
That's definitely where westarted, that's where we were,
and sometimes too, like with labwork, the information you get
what you pay for.
I mean just like if in yourbusiness, if you're truly going
to understand what's going on inyour business, depending on how
(07:30):
deep of a dive you're going toget what you pay for, based on
how deep of a dive you do withthat.
And then there's kind of thelabs that, like we do, and then
this new, the longevity-basedlabs, the performance-based labs
.
You know the evolution beyondfunctional medicine is you know
where we do deep dives.
And I'll tell you, like, if youare not spending over a
thousand dollars on your labs ofactual finding out what's going
on inside your body, you arenot doing real labs to
(07:52):
understand your body.
Anything less than that is youknow.
Um, I had great, great quotefrom one of one of our friends,
joe Polish, and he said um, theworst type of of type of advice
you can get is bad advice, evenif it's free.
So, like with your labs, theworst type of information you
can get is bad information,especially if it's free.
(08:16):
So to get good information youhave to be able to invest in
that.
So that's kind of what we'redoing.
We're doing those deep divesinto what your cell is doing
inside your body, because youare made of trillions of cells,
how you function, how you showup in the world when you walk
through the door.
You walk through the door withyour trillions of cells together
and you can't leave them behind.
They are how you function, theyare how you show up, they are
(08:37):
how you perform, and so you needto understand what your cells
are doing.
And if you think that you canfind that on some conventional
lab tests or some free lab testthat someone gives you, that is
impossible.
If they tell you that you can,they are lying to you.
And so then, with that doingthat deep dive, we can see do
your cells have everything theyneed?
So this is the answer to whatwe test.
So we test your hormone levels,which those can be considered
(09:00):
pretty basic, but then we lookat your nutrition markers, your
inflammation markers, and thatlist goes on and on and on to
hundreds of different markers.
We test over 215 on our basicstarter panel and much more in
our deeper diet panels.
That we do to really understandfor your cells, how are your
cells functioning?
Because when we understand that, then we can understand how
you're really showing up todayand how you're really going to
(09:21):
be showing up in the future aswell.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Yeah, I mean, I like what you said.
You go.
If you're paying less than athousand dollars for your blood
test, you're not actuallygetting the right blood work
done right, you're not going toget all the information, and I
know there's a lot of people outthere that throughout the
course of a year, they probablyspend more than a thousand
dollars on alcohol or fast foodor things that don't actually
serve them.
Maybe it's like subscriptionsto Netflix and Hulu and all this
(09:47):
other crap entertainment andthey neglect their health, which
is crazy.
So it's the most importantthing that you can invest in is
learning about your health andyou know, you said something
funny.
You're like when you walkthrough the door, you're walking
through with trillions of cellsand it affects everything from
you know your energy, yourmental health and just your
(10:09):
presence.
So I thought that was reallyinsightful.
Man, what would you say topeople who they think that a
thousand or $2,000 blood test isexpensive and it stops them
from moving forward?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Well I would say I've heard this from people multiple
times.
They'll do the analogy of saywe can give you $10 million
today, $10 million cash, butthen you die tonight.
Would you take that $10 million?
And the answer everyone says no.
I've been on stage andpresented and asked that
(10:43):
question and every now and thena guy will be like, yeah, I'll
do it so my wife can have themoney.
And then his wife is sittingthere next to him like no, you
wouldn't you stupid?
And so anyway.
So you know, if you're not, ifyou're not willing to take that
$10 million, that means you inyour health and how you're
showing up is worth at least $10million or more.
Right.
And we can play.
Say, if you're not willing topay $1,000 or a little bit more
(11:11):
than $1,000 to know what's goingon inside you, that's much more
valuable.
That's $10 million, $50 million, $100 million plus the actual
value that you have as a human.
Those priorities are a littlebit off.
You need to be able to do thatand to invest in yourself.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
It comes down to mindset, too, and understanding
what's most important andprioritizing those things down
to mindset too, andunderstanding what's most
important and prioritizing thosethings and we've talked about
this before is because with thelabs, when we do the right labs,
we can know what that future,what current path you're on for
your future, like.
And so we've done labs and we'vehad guys that showed up in
there two to three years awayfrom a heart attack or or five
to ten years away from a heartattack, and we can see that in
(11:48):
the labs the heart attack neverhappens by accident.
It's always something thatprogresses.
And so you know, for thatperson you know going that ends
up coming through our program,who no longer, you know we can
fix that problem and they're notgoing to have a heart attack
within three years, you knowwe've saved them, you know, $2
million cash on the expensesthat are going to come from that
heart attack, let alone theimpact on their families and
(12:08):
lives and their future.
That that can come.
So, um, we can definitely thatinvestment can have, you know,
exponential returns for, youknow, 100 years potentially yeah
, it's priceless, you can't putup, you can't put a price on
that.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
A comparison um, okay , a lot of people know about
peptides right, more so nowbecause they're becoming more
recognized and discussed.
Specifically bpc 157 or tb 500those are like kind of the I
feel like the first peptides.
Guys start uh, how can peptideslike bpc 157 or tb 500 support
(12:42):
recovery from stress,specifically, and burnout, or do
that?
Speaker 2 (12:46):
yeah, oh, good question.
Yeah, because we do.
Um, definitely, if you goonline talking about BPC-157 and
TB500 or thymus and beta-4 isthe actual name for that one
They've been around a long timeand we've used them for clients
for a long time and the morethat we study them, the more we
realize the impact that they'rehaving, because they are working
(13:06):
on the cellular level, helpingyour cells handle inflammation
and heal and process better.
So instead of doing like a,like an ibuprofen or the tylenol
or an advil some of these thatare that are band-aids,
inflammation blockers, like thenseds, um, that's that stop the
pain and stop the inflammationwithout actually healing the
process um, they actuallypromote a healthy healing
(13:29):
process.
They promote your cells to heal, they promote your cells to
regenerate, even down to the andthe more we study it, the more
even we see down, even on theDNA level of the cells.
They help your cells to handlestress, handle inflammation,
handle any type of thosecellular things that can come up
better.
So the more the research comesout on it, I'm like I just need
(13:50):
every.
Every person probably needs totake BPC-157.
And the thiamine, beta-4, tb500is something that it works
along that same way and it kindof promotes that.
Definitely, some people dorespond a little bit differently
, but the BPC-157 isfoundational.
Even more recent studies haveshown that it helps with brain
health, brain inflammation andimproving all that that.
(14:11):
It's kind of every cell in thebody can use those peptides to
function better, and yeah it can.
It's great to be used for aninjury as well, like you can
inject it, you know, over yourshoulder if you have a shoulder
issue.
Or I recently had pulled myoblique and so I've been
injecting BPC 157 right over inmy abdomen over the week to help
with to heal faster and as well, as you know, taking it
(14:32):
regularly orally.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
So does it help?
Because I thought that maybe Iwas misinformed.
I take a pill form of BPC-157,but I have some old injuries and
current injuries that I'm, youknow, in the process of healing
and stuff like that.
I know the BPC-157 helps withoverall inflammation, but let's
say I had a shoulder issue goingon.
Would it be more impactful toinject the peptide right into
(14:56):
the shoulder joint or that area,that tissue around the area
that's affected?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yeah, good question.
It definitely can help.
We need to make sure that weget the healing processes
happening in that area.
So for an old injury we mighttry like do a PRP injection or a
stem cell injection tostimulate healing, to kind of
wake up the immune system inthat area, and then use BPC
along with that to get evenbetter results.
(15:22):
But and generally I find reallygood results in doing both the
oral and then, if you have theinjury you're trying to heal
from doing the injectable aswell okay, very interesting
because, like, like a really oldinjury is just kind of sitting
there dormant, there's not likeactive healing happening in that
area, and so that's why, um,just doing just the bpc by
(15:42):
itself might not be as effective.
But if we can do something tostimulate the healing, like the
prp injections or or even likesome, some like shockwave
therapies and there's otherthings that can kind of wake
that up, then doing the BPC withthat can can improve it.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
So in your, your location out there in Arizona,
are you going to be doingshockwave therapies, red light
therapy, stem cells, stuff likethat?
Like what are the main thingsthat you offer out in your, in
your brick and mortar in Arizona?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Yeah, so we do do those things.
We don't have any current redlight therapy options, because
that's something that worksreally good day to day, so we
can help people to find a goodoption for that so they can do
it at home all the time.
But we do have people.
We can do the shockwave therapy, the stem cells, the PRP, all
of that and so, yeah, that'ssuper fun, fancy.
Especially when those tools areutilized correctly for the
(16:33):
right person in the rightcircumstance, they can have
really dramatic results.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Yeah, that's really exciting.
I got to get out there and dosome stem cell therapy soon.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yep Get on the schedule.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Yeah, Okay, cool.
So I got another question whatsupplements are most effective
for improving cognitive functionas well as reducing stress or
just helping people to focusmore?
You know we talked a lot aboutstress earlier and just overall
health, but is there anyspecific supplements to improve
cognitive functioning so youcould focus more, let's say, in
(17:04):
business or work, and not getdistracted and feel like you
have that enhanced productivity?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I mean.
So the answer with that youknow and we can fill this in for
you, know what's the bestsupplement for XYZ?
I don't know brain health,focus or muscle recovery or
energy or sex drive orperformance, whatever the answer
to that question is alwayswhatever's gonna be customized
to you.
So that's why, doing the actuallab work that's going to
measure and know, so you'll know, oh, do I need more, you know,
(17:31):
vitamin b12?
Do I need more vitamin b5?
Do I need more vitamin d?
Do I need more selenium, zinc?
And so we can get thatcustomized and dialed into you.
And because, like for brainhealth, there's, there's
nutrients like inositol andcholine and other minerals and
nutrients that you probablyhaven't even heard of, but we
can actually test and measurebecause they're essential for
(17:53):
your body's function.
They're especially essentialfor your brain's function.
Um, we can measure that and wecan then know, okay, oh, your
inositol is right at the verybottom of normal range.
No wonder you can't focus,because that nutrient is
essential for brain health.
And so then we can, you know,supplement and get you some
inositol into your body thatyour body can use to to improve
that.
So that's the foundationalpiece to do that.
You're getting the hormonesdialed into Every cell in your
(18:15):
body except for red blood cellshave testosterone receptors, for
men and women too, and sotestosterone is so important for
signaling, waking up the cellsmetabolism, especially in your
brain.
Those brain cells havetestosterone receptors.
They get activated bytestosterone for focus, for
motivation, for neurotransmittersignaling.
(18:36):
All that improves with optimaltestosterone levels.
So doing those things arefoundational to do that.
And then there's yeah, there'sother fancier things too.
There's fancy peptides forbrain health.
There's other supplements thatcan improve for brain health.
The reason why those don'talways work for everyone can
improve for brain health.
Um, the reason why those don'talways work for everyone like
there's like, for instance,there's an herb called lion's
(18:56):
mane, that's.
That's good for, for focus andadhd and things like that is
kind of what it's promoted as,but it only works sometimes
unless you have the foundationalstuff taken care of.
If, if you do have thefoundational stuff taken care of
, it can work even better, um,kind of on top of that.
So, just like if you're goingto build a house, you start with
the foundation, that's the, thenutrition, down to the basic
micronutrient level and thehormones, and then, once that's
(19:18):
working, then the fancy stuffworks even better yeah, that's
really good.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
You know, when you said lions man, I thought, man,
maybe we should do an episodenext time of um, debunking
things that have been put intothe mainstream media or people
are trying to monetize stuff orjust like supplements that don't
actually work, because there'sa lot out there, right, so we'll
save that for another one.
I want to get as muchinformation out of you while I
(19:44):
got you here as I can.
The next question kind of tiesinto what you were just sharing.
Like, how do your hormonelevels so testosterone, cortisol
, insulin because when you hearhormones, most people think like
testosterone and progesteronefor women, right, or estrogen,
but like cortisol and insulin,right.
So like, how do they affect orimpact decision-making,
(20:05):
leadership, resilience in highperforming?
Speaker 2 (20:08):
individuals.
So that's a good question.
I love that question.
They are all factors, so wesometimes downplay how much is
really going on inside our bodyand inside ourselves.
So we talked about, like wehave probably anywhere some
studies show between 10 and 80trillion cells inside of our
(20:28):
bodies, right?
So it's probably somewherearound 20 to 30 trillion cells.
Every single one of those cellsis as complicated or even more
complicated than what's going onin the whole earth.
There's so much going on Infact people don't realize, like,
the amount of testosterone thata man needs to function at an
optimal level.
You need 16 quadrilliontestosterone molecules.
(20:50):
That's 16 zeros after the 16,right, it's crazy amount of
things that are going on insideof our bodies, and so it's all
connected and all workingtogether.
Like we already talked about,we're all parts of one, being
not individual cells andindividual organ systems, and so
it's all communicating, allworking together, and so they
play off each other and there'ssome that control certain areas,
(21:12):
some that control other things,and so like, for instance,
insulin is a huge mastercontroller.
Insulin is the hormone thatcontrols what source of energy
your body's looking at.
So it's, it's one or the other.
So either insulin controlswhether you're gonna use carbs
and store carbs or whetheryou're going to, um, or sorry,
use carbs or store carbs or burnfat.
(21:33):
So there's only two options andinsulin controls that for your
whole body, every cell in yourbody.
But then you're talking aboutfocus, motivation, drive.
That's the testosterone hormonefor men and for women.
So men have a lot moretestosterone receptors.
They need a lot moretestosterone to promote that
drive, to promote thatmotivation.
Women, they need that hormoneas well.
It's just much less, in lowerquantities, like one 10th of
(21:55):
what a man would need.
But they have their otherhormone balancing with estrogen,
progesterone for the cycles andall that stuff.
So it's all.
It's so important.
So testosterone is essential.
But then there's cortisol, whichis the master stress hormone
which is designed for.
You know, if a bear jumps outof you in front of you as you're
walking through the forest, youneed to be able to run, and so
(22:16):
cortisol can hijack everythingand take control so that you can
run away from the bear andhijack everything and take
control so that you can run awayfrom the bear.
The problem is when cortisol ishigh all the time and the bear
is not out in front of you.
You're at work or you're athome, or you're all these things
, because our lives are so highstress, so high cortisol, so
(22:36):
overstimulated, that we'realways in that fight or flight
mode.
We're always running away frombear, even when we're trying to
sit down and eat dinner with ourwife and kids at home.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Yeah, this is not to interrupt you, but this is
really good For anybody watchingthis who is a business owner or
you do feel a lot of stress.
People will always try to gotake vacations, or on the
weekend, I don't know, maybethey try to kick back, or in the
evening.
I know a lot of guys Ipersonally mentor in the evening
.
When the kids go to sleep,they'll sit in the recliner,
drink a couple of beers, startwatching their show, thinking
(23:05):
that they're unwinding.
But it's actually not resolvingthe issue.
The issue is your hormones,your bodies, right, your fight
or flight response.
So with somebody like that, thevacation is not going to work
necessarily.
They come right back into lifeand they're immediately
triggered.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
And that same response takes place just on
that one I want to talk aboutbecause that's really important.
I've talked to entrepreneursall day, every day, and this is
the pattern.
This is a huge problem, becausethey get home and they think
that relaxing is sitting on thecouch drinking a beer, watching
tv.
I promise so.
First you drink the beer, soyour testosterone tanks, you're
basically messing up all yourhormones.
You're, you're, you know,unloading a giant wave of
(23:41):
inflammation into your body, andthat's problem number one, um,
and so you, basically you shutdown your hormone production for
growth hormone, fortestosterone, for for the next
48, 72 hours.
Um, but then you, you'rewatching TV.
You're watching this, you knowthe action show on TV.
I don't know what people arewatching, um, my wife likes her
certain shows and differentthings, but anyway.
So whatever people watching,your brain does not know the
(24:02):
difference between what you'reseeing on TV and what's
happening in real life.
So you're watching this carchase scene on the cop show that
you like and your brain thinksyou are in that situation and
your brain is releasing stresshormones and stress signals that
whole time, because your braindoes not know the difference
between what is on TV and what'sin real life.
And so you think you'rerelaxing and you might be numb
(24:28):
from the alcohol, but you aremore stressed all night long
than you were even during theday, and so you never get that
rest and recovery and thatcompounds and compounds and
compounds.
And then then you get burnout.
And so I talked toentrepreneurs all the time.
They tell me I couldn't get outof bed for the past three
nights, three days and all thesedifferent things and and you
see them on social media, yousee them, you know in person or
whatever, and they think youthink they're super high energy
and these amazing productiveguys.
But you know, I know some ofthe details of their lives.
(24:51):
Like they can't get out of bed.
They were in bed all weekendbecause they were crashing.
And then they show up on Mondayand they do their podcast and
they look great, and then you gohome and crash and that's
what's happening is they justhave this constant
overstimulation of the stresssystem and it is basically
breaking them down cell by celland they got to do something
(25:11):
different.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Wow, and honestly so.
I mean it sounds like the mostimportant thing they could do is
the blood test to figure outexactly what's going on and then
get on the rightsupplementation based on those
results to help combat thoseeffects.
Right, so if there's anybodylistening that was you that Dr J
just described you couldmessage one of us, you could
like, comment whether you'reseeing this on Facebook or
(25:33):
another platform, or go tounstoppable365.com.
There's ways that you can getthe blood test and start doing
it.
That's really insightful, man,because I think a lot of people
feel like they are relaxing whenthey sit down and watch TV and,
yeah, you're not having to dostuff, but your brain and your
body is still being triggered toreact based on like a stress
(25:54):
response.
That's really insightful man.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Yeah, well, and that's like with the lab testing
that we do.
There is with our base package.
There is a and for thesespecial people that are
listening, if you go to ourwebsite, well, I'll give you a
special discount code right now,because you're super awesome,
listening to us.
So if you find our lab ordersheet page, you can go on there
and you do VIP 500, you get $500off your labs, anyway.
(26:16):
So, for all you special peoplethat are listening, hopefully
they don't edit this out for us,so, but anyway, with that lab
kit, we do saliva samples ofyour cortisol, because your
cortisol level is supposed to goup during in the morning to
help you wake up and help youget going, and then slowly
decline during the day, and thislow at night to help you to
sleep and rest and recover.
And so if you just do just oneblood draw during the day of
(26:38):
your cortisol level, you don'tknow what it was before that or
after that.
Or if you do a cortisol urinesample and collect all the
cortisol for the day, you don'tknow what that curve looked like
.
And so that's why the salivasamples are so important, and
that's included with our basepackage to see what that
cortisol curve is doing, so wecan help to target for you
specifically where you're atwith your cortisol.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yeah, really good, really good, I mean, I think and
that's beneficial, not even forjust business owners, but
people in life, like parents ora lot of adults, are really
stressed out and when you'restressed out, everything in life
just sucks.
Man, you're not as obviouslyhappy, you're not enjoying your
relationships.
You just don't have like a lotof clarity.
You're almost in damage controlall the time putting out fires.
Like a lot of clarity, you'realmost in damage control all the
time putting out fires.
So, uh, really, really glad youshared that.
(27:26):
I got another question too.
This is different, um, and thiskind of correlates to recently
I've been taking nad, Iresearched it, I learned about
it, I asked you.
I'd like you to share about nad, but also specifically this
question what are the beststrategies to naturally enhance
mitochondrial function andcellular health for energy and
endurance?
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Good, yeah, that's good, and that goes kind of.
Our theme of what we've beentalking about this whole time is
down to the cellular health andthe mitochondria.
If you remember back to yourhigh school biology days, your
mitochondria are your energyfactories for your cells.
So all of your cells havemitochondria and they produce
(28:08):
the energy that makes that cellgo, so basically power source,
like if your cell was a computer.
The mitochondria are like thatpower that's coming in with that
.
So you need to make sure thatthey're working really well.
And so that's the key, becauseyou really and when we dive into
some of the deeper science, youknow science-y part of what we
do with our protocols is there'sthe actual, the hallmarks of
aging, the reasons why you age,the reason why your cells break
(28:29):
down and stop functioning, and abig part of that is the
mitochondrial function of thosecells.
And so whether it's your braincell, whether it's your muscle
cell, whether it's your bonecell, your heart cell, the
mitochondria make those cells go, and so it's really important
to optimize that, and hopefullyI wasn't too sciencey there, but
(28:52):
with that when they functionbest, that's how they do work
and how your cells overall workbetter, which is why something
like NAD can be reallybeneficial.
Because NAD is a key componentof that energy production
pathway that's happening in themitochondria, and so it can be
really beneficial.
And some people I've noticedthey've taken NAD.
They might not notice a bigboost.
It could be that you need towake up your cells, wake up your
mitochondria, and it's notreally functioning like it needs
to.
So that's one NAD can be veryhelpful.
(29:14):
But even like a base,foundational piece of that,
getting a little bit more intothe science of it, a lot of
those reactions happen in themembrane of the mitochondria and
so you need your mitochondriamembranes to be healthy and to
be able to do that.
That's where you need somethinglike omega-3s, which is like
the fish oil supplements.
So DHA, epa they help promotehealthy mitochondria and healthy
(29:36):
mitochondria membranes andhealthy cell membranes as well,
and so that is so essential.
And um, this is a big problem.
I see, supplement-wise, thatpeople think that they're taking
fish oil.
They think that they're gettingenough fish oil.
So ideally you get somewherebetween 2500 to 3000 milligrams
of EPA plus DHA and um, mostfish oil supplements only have
(29:58):
200, maybe 300 milligrams percapsule.
So to actually get a true,accurate dose of fish oil, you
need to take 10 capsules of thatone that you're taking, like if
you go to Costco, if you go toSprouts or Whole Foods, whatever
.
Maybe, if you get a really goodone, you're maybe getting 500
milligrams per capsule, and it'snot total fish oil, it's EPA
and DHA are the ones that matter, and so you might need to take
(30:21):
six of those capsules to be ableto get the proper dose.
Anyway, there's a lot of otherfish oil problems that we can
talk about, but that's the first.
One is not getting enough ofand then not realizing you're
enough, thinking that you'recovered.
So that's something that we do,like with all of our
supplements we make sure that weget a good, effective dose and
to make sure you, your body, haswhat it needs.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
So, yeah, that's that's really key that base
number one um, healthy healthyfats, omega-3s, the ep and the
dha will improve your cellmembranes and mitochondrial
function that was reallyinsightful, because you know
people who say, oh yeah, I takefish oil or I take my
multivitamins and, uh, it soundslike a lot of the stuff that
you would just get at thegrocery store, or sprouts or a
whole foods, whatever a vitaminshop it's, it's not high quality
(31:03):
and it's not enough of theactual ingredient you need to
get the benefit.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Yeah, oh, huge problem.
I know fish oils are one of,like, the biggest scams that are
out there, even though it islike one of the most important
nutrients you can get.
Like we just discussed, um, theall the ones that are popular,
that you see recommended andprescribed and advertised, they
are pretty much garbage and so,yeah, you need to look at your
label, look at per capsule, howmuch EPA you're getting, how
(31:29):
much DHA you're getting, andthat total needs to add up to
probably want to take 5,000milligrams, even a higher dose.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Wow, wow, incredible.
I mean that's.
Another benefit of like workingwith someone like you is you
actually get high qualitysupplements at the right doses,
cause we don't know, I didn'tknow that.
I just I, just I trust you, soI did the blood work and then
you tell me what I need and Itake it right.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
You don't need to go to medical school.
I mean not to be completelynaive.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
You have to trust the person you're working with.
And then when you notice thebenefit, like I have way more
energy.
I told you, stress is just atan all time low despite more
demands upon me.
Just a lot of benefits, man.
One of the things that I reallylove, that I noticed the most,
is sustained energy throughoutthe day and like a lot of mental
acuity, like I can just getlaser focused on stuff and stay
(32:28):
dialed in all day long and so,yeah, cause you've been on these
good supplements for almost ayear now and, and even though
you didn't realize all thedetails of what was happening
with those inside your body,they're doing what they're
supposed to do.
So yeah, I feel like about threemonths ago, everything that I
was starting to take and changein my just lifestyle uh,
converged.
You know, like you noticeinitial benefits and changes,
(32:50):
but I feel like everything'sjust really converged to the
point where it's just I'moptimized now, Um, and so that's
why everyone's going to be on aslightly different protocol,
that everyone's going to be on aslightly different protocol,
Everyone's going to be on aslightly different process.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Yeah, and that's really how it is, and I was
thinking.
Just this morning this ideacame to my mind.
You can give someone a bigblock of marble and give them a
chisel and give them a littlehammer, and really anyone can do
that, just like any doctor canprescribe a peptide or a
supplement or run labs canprescribe a peptide or a
(33:25):
supplement or run labs.
But if you give a slab ofmarble and a chisel and a hammer
to Michelangelo, he's going tocreate something very different
than me or you getting out therewith a chisel for the first
time and trying to sculpt asculpture.
One will create the Davidstatue and we might be able to
get a smiley face if we're lucky, right and anyway.
So there's a lot of value inhaving someone you know.
(33:45):
The right tools in the hand ofa master is better than the
right tools in the hands ofsomeone that doesn't know what
they're doing.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Yeah, absolutely.
You know, I think some otherstuff would be cool to cover on
a future podcast episode orconversation like this would be.
Number one is debunking a lotof stuff that people think might
be good for them are true, andthen the other one is how this
is all really relevant andimportant for women too.
The reason I share that isbecause you've already helped my
(34:12):
wife, Jessica, a lot and she'sabout to have our fourth child
in a couple of weeks and Imessaged you the other day and I
said what can we do to help herbounce back from the baby blues
or postpartum as quickly aspossible?
Because I know in past timeswhen we had babies and children,
it affects women big time.
Their hormones are all over theplace.
(34:34):
So I think doing an episode onthat and really, really, like
you know, showcasing what youcan do or what the blood work
and the right supplementationcan do to help women, I think
that'd be really cool.
And then but before we wrapthis one up today, if anyone's
still listening or has watchedall the way through, we do want
to.
We want to reward them, we wantto give them a chance to to get
their health optimized andreduce some of the costs.
(34:56):
So what was that discount codefor the blood test again, Yep,
so VIP 500.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
So if you go to unstoppable 365.com, um, on the
top there click on precisionmedical performance, that gets
to kind of our medical side ofunstoppable 365.
Um, go go down and find thebutton where it says click start
now.
So click start now it'll pop upand have the form.
It'll show you what the labpackage.
You put your information inthere so we can send you the lab
kit.
And then at the bottom, whenyou put in your payment
information, you put that codein and you'll get that discount.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Yeah, so perfect.
So if you want to get yourblood tested you've been
thinking about doing it and thisepisode really inspired you go
on the website right now, likeDr J said unstoppable365.com,
navigate the site to get to theprecision medical performance
area and enter that promo codein there and then from there you
get to do a consultation withDr J and he gets to break
everything down with you, likewhere your health's at, what you
(35:45):
need to do to optimize yourhealth going forward.
Super insightful today, man,you know I love these
conversations because you're awealth of knowledge and it's
very insightful and valuable formyself and then anybody tuning
in.
So before we wrap this up, dr J, anything else you want to
share with anybody who'swatching?
Speaker 2 (36:01):
The worst thing that you can do is to not take action
.
So I mean, we talked about somany different things in this
little podcast.
You know this, what 35, 40minutes?
You know, even if it's just youneed to sleep better, you need
to change your routine beforebed so that you can handle
stress better.
You can just cut out alcohol.
You need to find a good fishoil or get an accurate dose, and
we talked about lots ofdifferent things.
(36:22):
Um, so the worst thing you cando is not do any of them and
stay where you are.
So, do something, picksomething.
If it's doing the labs andstarting, you know we're here to
help.
We want to change the world,and it starts with work with
people like you.
And so, um, whatever, whateverstep you need to take, take that
step.
Don't stay where you are,because that's you know you'll.
You'll just keep going downhillfrom there.
So, um, take action.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Let's go.
That's the message that I echoevery day.
Right?
It's like you get one life.
Let's go all in and moveforward each and every day.
Um, and procrastination, that'swhat kills potential, you know.
So thank you, Dr J, for beinghere.
Man, I appreciate you so muchrespect and gratitude for you
being here, and we'll chat againsoon.
I handle stress differently.
You think of stress as beingpredominantly psychological.
You know what I've been through.
I've been through a lot ofstuff, so I handle things pretty
well.
But raising children, growing abusiness there's stress
involved and I've just noticedthe healthier I've gotten, the
easier it is to deal with stressand pressure.
And when you're stressed out,everything in life just sucks.
Man, You're not as obviouslyhappy, You're not enjoying your
(00:20):
relationships.
You just don't have a lot ofclarity.
You're almost in damage control, all the time putting out fires
.
I feel like about three monthsago, everything that I was
starting to take and change inmy just lifestyle converged Like
you notice initial benefits andchanges, but I feel like
everything's just reallyconverged to the point where
it's just I'm optimized.
Now, Welcome back to anotherepisode of the Unstoppable
(00:49):
Mindset Podcast.
I'm your host, Sean Crane, andI got my man, Dr J, in the house
.
I'm excited, man.
I got some good questions foryou, Dr J, Real quick, though
you know we love the technologystuff.
I have to make an adjustmentreal quick on the tech stuff, so
I want you to share with theviewers.
I have to make an adjustmentreal quick on the tech stuff, so
I want you to share with theviewers.
Give them a quick little youknow one minute story about how
(01:09):
you became a doctor, Like likewhat are your credentials and
backgrounds?
Just real quick, I just want tohear it from you.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Yeah.
So it just kind of happened likeit was supposed to happen and
just kind of I was directed downthe path that I needed to take
to be able to reach this point,cause I've always been
interested in health, I'vealways been interested in
helping people to improve theirhealth, and actually out of high
school I got a job at WalgreensPharmacy working in the
pharmacy dispensing medications,and I quickly realized that I
(01:36):
did not feel like I was helpinganyone.
Basically, we were just coveringup their symptoms with those
pills and, of course, there's atime and place for that and so I
was trying to figure out what Iwanted to do.
And then when I found out aboutnaturopathic medicine a
practice of medicine thataddresses the root cause and
helps people to build health andto not need medications, get
(01:57):
off medications I was likethat's what I need to do and so
kind of changed my wholetrajectory of where I was going
to do, where I was going to goand the type of doctor that I
was going to be, and went andlearned, put a lot of extra work
in to be able to make thathappen.
And here we are now, almost 20years later, making magic happen
(02:19):
, helping people feel their bestand unlocking people's true
potential.
Reversing disease, getting offmedications all the fun stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I love it, dude, that's perfect.
I just wanted the viewers andeveryone that because, like,
they hear me talk about you allthe time and people are like
who's Dr J?
Like, what is his background?
I think it's really cool howyou got to this point and I love
it because you're like me, man,you're not following the
traditional path of what peopletold you have to do, like you
realize, no, this isn't theright way, there's a better way,
and look where it's brought you.
(02:46):
I have a lot of questions thatI want to ask you today, but
also I just want to point thatout, like for anyone listening.
You know you don't always haveto go the traditional route If
you find something that's notworking properly or if you know
a better way to do it.
Like you know, you got tofollow your heart, man, and it
(03:06):
leads to something bigger andbetter.
That's how we became partners,that's how we're here building
this company at Unstoppable 365.
And we have so many people whoare predominantly business
owners, entrepreneurs, parents,just adults, who have a lot of
pressure and stress on them toperform at a high level.
And one of the common themes isif you don't have your health,
it's really hard to consistentlyperform at a high level.
One of the things I've noticedsince I personally optimize my
(03:31):
health and taking the rightsupplements, optimizing my
hormones, taking the rightpeptides is something you told
me I didn't really think itwould happen, but it has.
I handle stress differently.
You think of stress as beingpredominantly psychological,
right and dude.
You know what I've been through.
I've been through a lot ofstuff, so I handle things pretty
well.
But raising children, growing abusiness, there's stress
involved and I've just noticedthe healthier I've gotten, the
easier it is to deal with stressand pressure-filled situations,
(03:55):
right, so why is that?
Talk to the people out therewho are under a lot of stress
right now, whether it's in abusiness or whether it's in
their marriage, like, how doeshealth correlate to stress and
the ability to handle stress?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, no, that's a great question, um, and the
thing is, it's all all connected.
Um, there there's nothing,there's no way you can separate.
You know, your health, whetherit's just your digestive health,
your, your joint health, yourmuscle health, your brain health
and your fitness and all things, they're, they're all connected
.
You are one whole, entire being.
Um, you know all of you istogether and so every part
(04:29):
affects the other part.
And so, um, whether it's astress, you know, like an
argument with your spouse, likehopefully none of us ever argue
with our, with our wives, right,but sometimes that happens, um
or whether it's a deadline atwork or an employee that's doing
something, you have to respondin a certain way, and it's just
(04:50):
part of life, all these stresses.
And so, when you are stronger,when you are unstoppable, when
you have that resilience to beable to get through and it's not
just on the surface Sometimesthere's a difference between
fitness and health.
Of course, fitness is part ofhealth, but we need to make sure
that it's all all connected sothat you, you can withstand that
and truly become unstoppable.
(05:11):
Um, and so you know we can, ifyou want the science lesson we
can dive into the cortisolresponse and all that, but um,
it's, it's.
You know, just knowing thatyou're stronger, knowing your
mindset is where it needs to be,is is a big, big driver and
helpful and helpful for that?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
yeah, dude, absolutely okay, you ready for
some, uh, other rapid firequestions, dr?
J I'm gonna, I'm gonna ask yousome stuff that I think would be
super insightful for peoplewatching.
Yeah, okay, uh, a lot of peopleask about blood tests.
It actually had this guy rightnow, um, on instagram live and
he was commenting saying youdon't need a specialty doctor,
(05:46):
just go to your regular doctorfor blood tests, right?
And there's a big differencebetween a traditional doctor's
blood panel and the in-depthblood panels you do.
So which blood tests shouldbusiness owners regularly
monitor to optimize energy focusand longevity?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Right, oh, that's a good question.
So just kind of the, thegeneral response I have to that,
because I was thinking about um, that idea a lot this week
actually.
Um, so there's kind ofdifferent phases of lab testing.
There's the, the conventionalinsurance cover labs, like the
bare minimum.
The, the sick care model thatyou go to your regular doctor,
like that instagram comment wasmaking, and what they look at.
(06:27):
They are looking at labs thatthey can give you a pill for to
cover up for sick care, sothat's like the lowest level,
just managing symptoms, types oflabs.
Okay, so that's step number one,the super, super old fashioned
conventional way that wasinvented in the 1960s.
And then there's step two,which some people think is is is
(06:48):
what we do, but but I'llexplain the difference.
And then there's this newertype of lab testing called like,
functional lab testing, right,where they can do, they can take
the labs and they'll look atthem a little bit different, do
a little bit deeper dive.
They might do a couple littlethings there and build a more
customized plan.
Right, that's what functionalmedicine do.
They'll do some labs and dosome testing.
(07:09):
So really that's the old model.
That's basically what was goingon in the 90s, early 2000s.
That's definitely where westarted, that's where we were,
and sometimes too, like with labwork, the information you get
what you pay for.
I mean just like if in yourbusiness, if you're truly going
to understand what's going on inyour business, depending on how
(07:30):
deep of a dive you're going toget what you pay for, based on
how deep of a dive you do withthat.
And then there's kind of thelabs that, like we do, and then
this new, the longevity-basedlabs, the performance-based labs
.
You know the evolution beyondfunctional medicine is you know
where we do deep dives.
And I'll tell you, like, if youare not spending over a
thousand dollars on your labs ofactual finding out what's going
on inside your body, you arenot doing real labs to
(07:52):
understand your body.
Anything less than that is youknow.
Um, I had great, great quotefrom one of one of our friends,
joe Polish, and he said um, theworst type of of type of advice
you can get is bad advice, evenif it's free.
So, like with your labs, theworst type of information you
can get is bad information,especially if it's free.
(08:16):
So to get good information youhave to be able to invest in
that.
So that's kind of what we'redoing.
We're doing those deep divesinto what your cell is doing
inside your body, because youare made of trillions of cells,
how you function, how you showup in the world when you walk
through the door.
You walk through the door withyour trillions of cells together
and you can't leave them behind.
They are how you function, theyare how you show up, they are
(08:37):
how you perform, and so you needto understand what your cells
are doing.
And if you think that you canfind that on some conventional
lab tests or some free lab testthat someone gives you, that is
impossible.
If they tell you that you can,they are lying to you.
And so then, with that doingthat deep dive, we can see do
your cells have everything theyneed?
So this is the answer to whatwe test.
So we test your hormone levels,which those can be considered
(09:00):
pretty basic, but then we lookat your nutrition markers, your
inflammation markers, and thatlist goes on and on and on to
hundreds of different markers.
We test over 215 on our basicstarter panel and much more in
our deeper diet panels.
That we do to really understandfor your cells, how are your
cells functioning?
Because when we understand that, then we can understand how
you're really showing up todayand how you're really going to
(09:21):
be showing up in the future aswell.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Yeah, I mean, I like what you said.
You go.
If you're paying less than athousand dollars for your blood
test, you're not actuallygetting the right blood work
done right, you're not going toget all the information, and I
know there's a lot of people outthere that throughout the
course of a year, they probablyspend more than a thousand
dollars on alcohol or fast foodor things that don't actually
serve them.
Maybe it's like subscriptionsto Netflix and Hulu and all this
(09:47):
other crap entertainment andthey neglect their health, which
is crazy.
So it's the most importantthing that you can invest in is
learning about your health andyou know, you said something
funny.
You're like when you walkthrough the door, you're walking
through with trillions of cellsand it affects everything from
you know your energy, yourmental health and just your
(10:09):
presence.
So I thought that was reallyinsightful.
Man, what would you say topeople who they think that a
thousand or $2,000 blood test isexpensive and it stops them
from moving forward?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Well I would say I've heard this from people multiple
times.
They'll do the analogy of saywe can give you $10 million
today, $10 million cash, butthen you die tonight.
Would you take that $10 million?
And the answer everyone says no.
I've been on stage andpresented and asked that
(10:43):
question and every now and thena guy will be like, yeah, I'll
do it so my wife can have themoney.
And then his wife is sittingthere next to him like no, you
wouldn't you stupid?
And so anyway.
So you know, if you're not, ifyou're not willing to take that
$10 million, that means you inyour health and how you're
showing up is worth at least $10million or more.
Right.
And we can play.
Say, if you're not willing topay $1,000 or a little bit more
(11:11):
than $1,000 to know what's goingon inside you, that's much more
valuable.
That's $10 million, $50 million, $100 million plus the actual
value that you have as a human.
Those priorities are a littlebit off.
You need to be able to do thatand to invest in yourself.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
It comes down to mindset, too, and understanding
what's most important andprioritizing those things down
to mindset too, andunderstanding what's most
important and prioritizing thosethings and we've talked about
this before is because with thelabs, when we do the right labs,
we can know what that future,what current path you're on for
your future, like.
And so we've done labs and we'vehad guys that showed up in
there two to three years awayfrom a heart attack or or five
to ten years away from a heartattack, and we can see that in
(11:48):
the labs the heart attack neverhappens by accident.
It's always something thatprogresses.
And so you know, for thatperson you know going that ends
up coming through our program,who no longer, you know we can
fix that problem and they're notgoing to have a heart attack
within three years, you knowwe've saved them, you know, $2
million cash on the expensesthat are going to come from that
heart attack, let alone theimpact on their families and
(12:08):
lives and their future.
That that can come.
So, um, we can definitely thatinvestment can have, you know,
exponential returns for, youknow, 100 years potentially yeah
, it's priceless, you can't putup, you can't put a price on
that.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
A comparison um, okay , a lot of people know about
peptides right, more so nowbecause they're becoming more
recognized and discussed.
Specifically bpc 157 or tb 500those are like kind of the I
feel like the first peptides.
Guys start uh, how can peptideslike bpc 157 or tb 500 support
(12:42):
recovery from stress,specifically, and burnout, or do
that?
Speaker 2 (12:46):
yeah, oh, good question.
Yeah, because we do.
Um, definitely, if you goonline talking about BPC-157 and
TB500 or thymus and beta-4 isthe actual name for that one
They've been around a long timeand we've used them for clients
for a long time and the morethat we study them, the more we
realize the impact that they'rehaving, because they are working
(13:06):
on the cellular level, helpingyour cells handle inflammation
and heal and process better.
So instead of doing like a,like an ibuprofen or the tylenol
or an advil some of these thatare that are band-aids,
inflammation blockers, like thenseds, um, that's that stop the
pain and stop the inflammationwithout actually healing the
process um, they actuallypromote a healthy healing
(13:29):
process.
They promote your cells to heal, they promote your cells to
regenerate, even down to the andthe more we study it, the more
even we see down, even on theDNA level of the cells.
They help your cells to handlestress, handle inflammation,
handle any type of thosecellular things that can come up
better.
So the more the research comesout on it, I'm like I just need
(13:50):
every.
Every person probably needs totake BPC-157.
And the thiamine, beta-4, tb500is something that it works
along that same way and it kindof promotes that.
Definitely, some people dorespond a little bit differently
, but the BPC-157 isfoundational.
Even more recent studies haveshown that it helps with brain
health, brain inflammation andimproving all that that.
(14:11):
It's kind of every cell in thebody can use those peptides to
function better, and yeah it can.
It's great to be used for aninjury as well, like you can
inject it, you know, over yourshoulder if you have a shoulder
issue.
Or I recently had pulled myoblique and so I've been
injecting BPC 157 right over inmy abdomen over the week to help
with to heal faster and as well, as you know, taking it
(14:32):
regularly orally.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
So does it help?
Because I thought that maybe Iwas misinformed.
I take a pill form of BPC-157,but I have some old injuries and
current injuries that I'm, youknow, in the process of healing
and stuff like that.
I know the BPC-157 helps withoverall inflammation, but let's
say I had a shoulder issue goingon.
Would it be more impactful toinject the peptide right into
(14:56):
the shoulder joint or that area,that tissue around the area
that's affected?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yeah, good question.
It definitely can help.
We need to make sure that weget the healing processes
happening in that area.
So for an old injury we mighttry like do a PRP injection or a
stem cell injection tostimulate healing, to kind of
wake up the immune system inthat area, and then use BPC
along with that to get evenbetter results.
(15:22):
But and generally I find reallygood results in doing both the
oral and then, if you have theinjury you're trying to heal
from doing the injectable aswell okay, very interesting
because, like, like a really oldinjury is just kind of sitting
there dormant, there's not likeactive healing happening in that
area, and so that's why, um,just doing just the bpc by
(15:42):
itself might not be as effective.
But if we can do something tostimulate the healing, like the
prp injections or or even likesome, some like shockwave
therapies and there's otherthings that can kind of wake
that up, then doing the BPC withthat can can improve it.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
So in your, your location out there in Arizona,
are you going to be doingshockwave therapies, red light
therapy, stem cells, stuff likethat?
Like what are the main thingsthat you offer out in your, in
your brick and mortar in Arizona?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Yeah, so we do do those things.
We don't have any current redlight therapy options, because
that's something that worksreally good day to day, so we
can help people to find a goodoption for that so they can do
it at home all the time.
But we do have people.
We can do the shockwave therapy, the stem cells, the PRP, all
of that and so, yeah, that'ssuper fun, fancy.
Especially when those tools areutilized correctly for the
(16:33):
right person in the rightcircumstance, they can have
really dramatic results.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Yeah, that's really exciting.
I got to get out there and dosome stem cell therapy soon.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yep Get on the schedule.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Yeah, Okay, cool.
So I got another question whatsupplements are most effective
for improving cognitive functionas well as reducing stress or
just helping people to focusmore?
You know we talked a lot aboutstress earlier and just overall
health, but is there anyspecific supplements to improve
cognitive functioning so youcould focus more, let's say, in
(17:04):
business or work, and not getdistracted and feel like you
have that enhanced productivity?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I mean.
So the answer with that youknow and we can fill this in for
you, know what's the bestsupplement for XYZ?
I don't know brain health,focus or muscle recovery or
energy or sex drive orperformance, whatever the answer
to that question is alwayswhatever's gonna be customized
to you.
So that's why, doing the actuallab work that's going to
measure and know, so you'll know, oh, do I need more, you know,
(17:31):
vitamin b12?
Do I need more vitamin b5?
Do I need more vitamin d?
Do I need more selenium, zinc?
And so we can get thatcustomized and dialed into you.
And because, like for brainhealth, there's, there's
nutrients like inositol andcholine and other minerals and
nutrients that you probablyhaven't even heard of, but we
can actually test and measurebecause they're essential for
(17:53):
your body's function.
They're especially essentialfor your brain's function.
Um, we can measure that and wecan then know, okay, oh, your
inositol is right at the verybottom of normal range.
No wonder you can't focus,because that nutrient is
essential for brain health.
And so then we can, you know,supplement and get you some
inositol into your body thatyour body can use to to improve
that.
So that's the foundationalpiece to do that.
You're getting the hormonesdialed into Every cell in your
(18:15):
body except for red blood cellshave testosterone receptors, for
men and women too, and sotestosterone is so important for
signaling, waking up the cellsmetabolism, especially in your
brain.
Those brain cells havetestosterone receptors.
They get activated bytestosterone for focus, for
motivation, for neurotransmittersignaling.
(18:36):
All that improves with optimaltestosterone levels.
So doing those things arefoundational to do that.
And then there's yeah, there'sother fancier things too.
There's fancy peptides forbrain health.
There's other supplements thatcan improve for brain health.
The reason why those don'talways work for everyone can
improve for brain health.
Um, the reason why those don'talways work for everyone like
there's like, for instance,there's an herb called lion's
(18:56):
mane, that's.
That's good for, for focus andadhd and things like that is
kind of what it's promoted as,but it only works sometimes
unless you have the foundationalstuff taken care of.
If, if you do have thefoundational stuff taken care of
, it can work even better, um,kind of on top of that.
So, just like if you're goingto build a house, you start with
the foundation, that's the, thenutrition, down to the basic
micronutrient level and thehormones, and then, once that's
(19:18):
working, then the fancy stuffworks even better yeah, that's
really good.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
You know, when you said lions man, I thought, man,
maybe we should do an episodenext time of um, debunking
things that have been put intothe mainstream media or people
are trying to monetize stuff orjust like supplements that don't
actually work, because there'sa lot out there, right, so we'll
save that for another one.
I want to get as muchinformation out of you while I
(19:44):
got you here as I can.
The next question kind of tiesinto what you were just sharing.
Like, how do your hormonelevels so testosterone, cortisol
, insulin because when you hearhormones, most people think like
testosterone and progesteronefor women, right, or estrogen,
but like cortisol and insulin,right.
So like, how do they affect orimpact decision-making,
(20:05):
leadership, resilience in highperforming?
Speaker 2 (20:08):
individuals.
So that's a good question.
I love that question.
They are all factors, so wesometimes downplay how much is
really going on inside our bodyand inside ourselves.
So we talked about, like wehave probably anywhere some
studies show between 10 and 80trillion cells inside of our
(20:28):
bodies, right?
So it's probably somewherearound 20 to 30 trillion cells.
Every single one of those cellsis as complicated or even more
complicated than what's going onin the whole earth.
There's so much going on Infact people don't realize, like,
the amount of testosterone thata man needs to function at an
optimal level.
You need 16 quadrilliontestosterone molecules.
(20:50):
That's 16 zeros after the 16,right, it's crazy amount of
things that are going on insideof our bodies, and so it's all
connected and all workingtogether.
Like we already talked about,we're all parts of one, being
not individual cells andindividual organ systems, and so
it's all communicating, allworking together, and so they
play off each other and there'ssome that control certain areas,
(21:12):
some that control other things,and so like, for instance,
insulin is a huge mastercontroller.
Insulin is the hormone thatcontrols what source of energy
your body's looking at.
So it's, it's one or the other.
So either insulin controlswhether you're gonna use carbs
and store carbs or whetheryou're going to, um, or sorry,
use carbs or store carbs or burnfat.
(21:33):
So there's only two options andinsulin controls that for your
whole body, every cell in yourbody.
But then you're talking aboutfocus, motivation, drive.
That's the testosterone hormonefor men and for women.
So men have a lot moretestosterone receptors.
They need a lot moretestosterone to promote that
drive, to promote thatmotivation.
Women, they need that hormoneas well.
It's just much less, in lowerquantities, like one 10th of
(21:55):
what a man would need.
But they have their otherhormone balancing with estrogen,
progesterone for the cycles andall that stuff.
So it's all.
It's so important.
So testosterone is essential.
But then there's cortisol, whichis the master stress hormone
which is designed for.
You know, if a bear jumps outof you in front of you as you're
walking through the forest, youneed to be able to run, and so
(22:16):
cortisol can hijack everythingand take control so that you can
run away from the bear andhijack everything and take
control so that you can run awayfrom the bear.
The problem is when cortisol ishigh all the time and the bear
is not out in front of you.
You're at work or you're athome, or you're all these things
, because our lives are so highstress, so high cortisol, so
(22:36):
overstimulated, that we'realways in that fight or flight
mode.
We're always running away frombear, even when we're trying to
sit down and eat dinner with ourwife and kids at home.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Yeah, this is not to interrupt you, but this is
really good For anybody watchingthis who is a business owner or
you do feel a lot of stress.
People will always try to gotake vacations, or on the
weekend, I don't know, maybethey try to kick back, or in the
evening.
I know a lot of guys Ipersonally mentor in the evening
.
When the kids go to sleep,they'll sit in the recliner,
drink a couple of beers, startwatching their show, thinking
(23:05):
that they're unwinding.
But it's actually not resolvingthe issue.
The issue is your hormones,your bodies, right, your fight
or flight response.
So with somebody like that, thevacation is not going to work
necessarily.
They come right back into lifeand they're immediately
triggered.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
And that same response takes place just on
that one I want to talk aboutbecause that's really important.
I've talked to entrepreneursall day, every day, and this is
the pattern.
This is a huge problem, becausethey get home and they think
that relaxing is sitting on thecouch drinking a beer, watching
tv.
I promise so.
First you drink the beer, soyour testosterone tanks, you're
basically messing up all yourhormones.
You're, you're, you know,unloading a giant wave of
(23:41):
inflammation into your body, andthat's problem number one, um,
and so you, basically you shutdown your hormone production for
growth hormone, fortestosterone, for for the next
48, 72 hours.
Um, but then you, you'rewatching TV.
You're watching this, you knowthe action show on TV.
I don't know what people arewatching, um, my wife likes her
certain shows and differentthings, but anyway.
So whatever people watching,your brain does not know the
(24:02):
difference between what you'reseeing on TV and what's
happening in real life.
So you're watching this carchase scene on the cop show that
you like and your brain thinksyou are in that situation and
your brain is releasing stresshormones and stress signals that
whole time, because your braindoes not know the difference
between what is on TV and what'sin real life.
And so you think you'rerelaxing and you might be numb
(24:28):
from the alcohol, but you aremore stressed all night long
than you were even during theday, and so you never get that
rest and recovery and thatcompounds and compounds and
compounds.
And then then you get burnout.
And so I talked toentrepreneurs all the time.
They tell me I couldn't get outof bed for the past three
nights, three days and all thesedifferent things and and you
see them on social media, yousee them, you know in person or
whatever, and they think youthink they're super high energy
and these amazing productiveguys.
But you know, I know some ofthe details of their lives.
(24:51):
Like they can't get out of bed.
They were in bed all weekendbecause they were crashing.
And then they show up on Mondayand they do their podcast and
they look great, and then you gohome and crash and that's
what's happening is they justhave this constant
overstimulation of the stresssystem and it is basically
breaking them down cell by celland they got to do something
(25:11):
different.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Wow, and honestly so.
I mean it sounds like the mostimportant thing they could do is
the blood test to figure outexactly what's going on and then
get on the rightsupplementation based on those
results to help combat thoseeffects.
Right, so if there's anybodylistening that was you that Dr J
just described you couldmessage one of us, you could
like, comment whether you'reseeing this on Facebook or
(25:33):
another platform, or go tounstoppable365.com.
There's ways that you can getthe blood test and start doing
it.
That's really insightful, man,because I think a lot of people
feel like they are relaxing whenthey sit down and watch TV and,
yeah, you're not having to dostuff, but your brain and your
body is still being triggered toreact based on like a stress
(25:54):
response.
That's really insightful man.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Yeah, well, and that's like with the lab testing
that we do.
There is with our base package.
There is a and for thesespecial people that are
listening, if you go to ourwebsite, well, I'll give you a
special discount code right now,because you're super awesome,
listening to us.
So if you find our lab ordersheet page, you can go on there
and you do VIP 500, you get $500off your labs, anyway.
(26:16):
So, for all you special peoplethat are listening, hopefully
they don't edit this out for us,so, but anyway, with that lab
kit, we do saliva samples ofyour cortisol, because your
cortisol level is supposed to goup during in the morning to
help you wake up and help youget going, and then slowly
decline during the day, and thislow at night to help you to
sleep and rest and recover.
And so if you just do just oneblood draw during the day of
(26:38):
your cortisol level, you don'tknow what it was before that or
after that.
Or if you do a cortisol urinesample and collect all the
cortisol for the day, you don'tknow what that curve looked like
.
And so that's why the salivasamples are so important, and
that's included with our basepackage to see what that
cortisol curve is doing, so wecan help to target for you
specifically where you're atwith your cortisol.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yeah, really good, really good, I mean, I think and
that's beneficial, not even forjust business owners, but
people in life, like parents ora lot of adults, are really
stressed out and when you'restressed out, everything in life
just sucks.
Man, you're not as obviouslyhappy, you're not enjoying your
relationships.
You just don't have like a lotof clarity.
You're almost in damage controlall the time putting out fires.
Like a lot of clarity, you'realmost in damage control all the
time putting out fires.
So, uh, really, really glad youshared that.
(27:26):
I got another question too.
This is different, um, and thiskind of correlates to recently
I've been taking nad, Iresearched it, I learned about
it, I asked you.
I'd like you to share about nad, but also specifically this
question what are the beststrategies to naturally enhance
mitochondrial function andcellular health for energy and
endurance?
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Good, yeah, that's good, and that goes kind of.
Our theme of what we've beentalking about this whole time is
down to the cellular health andthe mitochondria.
If you remember back to yourhigh school biology days, your
mitochondria are your energyfactories for your cells.
So all of your cells havemitochondria and they produce
(28:08):
the energy that makes that cellgo, so basically power source,
like if your cell was a computer.
The mitochondria are like thatpower that's coming in with that
.
So you need to make sure thatthey're working really well.
And so that's the key, becauseyou really and when we dive into
some of the deeper science, youknow science-y part of what we
do with our protocols is there'sthe actual, the hallmarks of
aging, the reasons why you age,the reason why your cells break
(28:29):
down and stop functioning, and abig part of that is the
mitochondrial function of thosecells.
And so whether it's your braincell, whether it's your muscle
cell, whether it's your bonecell, your heart cell, the
mitochondria make those cells go, and so it's really important
to optimize that, and hopefullyI wasn't too sciencey there, but
(28:52):
with that when they functionbest, that's how they do work
and how your cells overall workbetter, which is why something
like NAD can be reallybeneficial.
Because NAD is a key componentof that energy production
pathway that's happening in themitochondria, and so it can be
really beneficial.
And some people I've noticedthey've taken NAD.
They might not notice a bigboost.
It could be that you need towake up your cells, wake up your
mitochondria, and it's notreally functioning like it needs
to.
So that's one NAD can be veryhelpful.
(29:14):
But even like a base,foundational piece of that,
getting a little bit more intothe science of it, a lot of
those reactions happen in themembrane of the mitochondria and
so you need your mitochondriamembranes to be healthy and to
be able to do that.
That's where you need somethinglike omega-3s, which is like
the fish oil supplements.
So DHA, epa they help promotehealthy mitochondria and healthy
(29:36):
mitochondria membranes andhealthy cell membranes as well,
and so that is so essential.
And um, this is a big problem.
I see, supplement-wise, thatpeople think that they're taking
fish oil.
They think that they're gettingenough fish oil.
So ideally you get somewherebetween 2500 to 3000 milligrams
of EPA plus DHA and um, mostfish oil supplements only have
(29:58):
200, maybe 300 milligrams percapsule.
So to actually get a true,accurate dose of fish oil, you
need to take 10 capsules of thatone that you're taking, like if
you go to Costco, if you go toSprouts or Whole Foods, whatever
.
Maybe, if you get a really goodone, you're maybe getting 500
milligrams per capsule, and it'snot total fish oil, it's EPA
and DHA are the ones that matter, and so you might need to take
(30:21):
six of those capsules to be ableto get the proper dose.
Anyway, there's a lot of otherfish oil problems that we can
talk about, but that's the first.
One is not getting enough ofand then not realizing you're
enough, thinking that you'recovered.
So that's something that we do,like with all of our
supplements we make sure that weget a good, effective dose and
to make sure you, your body, haswhat it needs.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
So, yeah, that's that's really key that base
number one um, healthy healthyfats, omega-3s, the ep and the
dha will improve your cellmembranes and mitochondrial
function that was reallyinsightful, because you know
people who say, oh yeah, I takefish oil or I take my
multivitamins and, uh, it soundslike a lot of the stuff that
you would just get at thegrocery store, or sprouts or a
whole foods, whatever a vitaminshop it's, it's not high quality
(31:03):
and it's not enough of theactual ingredient you need to
get the benefit.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Yeah, oh, huge problem.
I know fish oils are one of,like, the biggest scams that are
out there, even though it islike one of the most important
nutrients you can get.
Like we just discussed, um, theall the ones that are popular,
that you see recommended andprescribed and advertised, they
are pretty much garbage and so,yeah, you need to look at your
label, look at per capsule, howmuch EPA you're getting, how
(31:29):
much DHA you're getting, andthat total needs to add up to
probably want to take 5,000milligrams, even a higher dose.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Wow, wow, incredible.
I mean that's.
Another benefit of like workingwith someone like you is you
actually get high qualitysupplements at the right doses,
cause we don't know, I didn'tknow that.
I just I, just I trust you, soI did the blood work and then
you tell me what I need and Itake it right.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
You don't need to go to medical school.
I mean not to be completelynaive.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
You have to trust the person you're working with.
And then when you notice thebenefit, like I have way more
energy.
I told you, stress is just atan all time low despite more
demands upon me.
Just a lot of benefits, man.
One of the things that I reallylove, that I noticed the most,
is sustained energy throughoutthe day and like a lot of mental
acuity, like I can just getlaser focused on stuff and stay
(32:28):
dialed in all day long and so,yeah, cause you've been on these
good supplements for almost ayear now and, and even though
you didn't realize all thedetails of what was happening
with those inside your body,they're doing what they're
supposed to do.
So yeah, I feel like about threemonths ago, everything that I
was starting to take and changein my just lifestyle uh,
converged.
You know, like you noticeinitial benefits and changes,
(32:50):
but I feel like everything'sjust really converged to the
point where it's just I'moptimized now, Um, and so that's
why everyone's going to be on aslightly different protocol,
that everyone's going to be on aslightly different protocol,
Everyone's going to be on aslightly different process.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Yeah, and that's really how it is, and I was
thinking.
Just this morning this ideacame to my mind.
You can give someone a bigblock of marble and give them a
chisel and give them a littlehammer, and really anyone can do
that, just like any doctor canprescribe a peptide or a
supplement or run labs canprescribe a peptide or a
(33:25):
supplement or run labs.
But if you give a slab ofmarble and a chisel and a hammer
to Michelangelo, he's going tocreate something very different
than me or you getting out therewith a chisel for the first
time and trying to sculpt asculpture.
One will create the Davidstatue and we might be able to
get a smiley face if we're lucky, right and anyway.
So there's a lot of value inhaving someone you know.
(33:45):
The right tools in the hand ofa master is better than the
right tools in the hands ofsomeone that doesn't know what
they're doing.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Yeah, absolutely.
You know, I think some otherstuff would be cool to cover on
a future podcast episode orconversation like this would be.
Number one is debunking a lotof stuff that people think might
be good for them are true, andthen the other one is how this
is all really relevant andimportant for women too.
The reason I share that isbecause you've already helped my
(34:12):
wife, Jessica, a lot and she'sabout to have our fourth child
in a couple of weeks and Imessaged you the other day and I
said what can we do to help herbounce back from the baby blues
or postpartum as quickly aspossible?
Because I know in past timeswhen we had babies and children,
it affects women big time.
Their hormones are all over theplace.
(34:34):
So I think doing an episode onthat and really, really, like
you know, showcasing what youcan do or what the blood work
and the right supplementationcan do to help women, I think
that'd be really cool.
And then but before we wrapthis one up today, if anyone's
still listening or has watchedall the way through, we do want
to.
We want to reward them, we wantto give them a chance to to get
their health optimized andreduce some of the costs.
(34:56):
So what was that discount codefor the blood test again, Yep,
so VIP 500.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
So if you go to unstoppable 365.com, um, on the
top there click on precisionmedical performance, that gets
to kind of our medical side ofunstoppable 365.
Um, go go down and find thebutton where it says click start
now.
So click start now it'll pop upand have the form.
It'll show you what the labpackage.
You put your information inthere so we can send you the lab
kit.
And then at the bottom, whenyou put in your payment
information, you put that codein and you'll get that discount.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Yeah, so perfect.
So if you want to get yourblood tested you've been
thinking about doing it and thisepisode really inspired you go
on the website right now, likeDr J said unstoppable365.com,
navigate the site to get to theprecision medical performance
area and enter that promo codein there and then from there you
get to do a consultation withDr J and he gets to break
everything down with you, likewhere your health's at, what you
(35:45):
need to do to optimize yourhealth going forward.
Super insightful today, man,you know I love these
conversations because you're awealth of knowledge and it's
very insightful and valuable formyself and then anybody tuning
in.
So before we wrap this up, dr J, anything else you want to
share with anybody who'swatching?
Speaker 2 (36:01):
The worst thing that you can do is to not take action
.
So I mean, we talked about somany different things in this
little podcast.
You know this, what 35, 40minutes?
You know, even if it's just youneed to sleep better, you need
to change your routine beforebed so that you can handle
stress better.
You can just cut out alcohol.
You need to find a good fishoil or get an accurate dose, and
we talked about lots ofdifferent things.
(36:22):
Um, so the worst thing you cando is not do any of them and
stay where you are.
So, do something, picksomething.
If it's doing the labs andstarting, you know we're here to
help.
We want to change the world,and it starts with work with
people like you.
And so, um, whatever, whateverstep you need to take, take that
step.
Don't stay where you are,because that's you know you'll.
You'll just keep going downhillfrom there.
So, um, take action.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Let's go.
That's the message that I echoevery day.
Right?
It's like you get one life.
Let's go all in and moveforward each and every day.
Um, and procrastination, that'swhat kills potential, you know.
So thank you, Dr J, for beinghere.
Man, I appreciate you so muchrespect and gratitude for you
being here, and we'll chat againsoon.
