Speaker 1 (00:00):
So going too hard
with exercise and taking way too
many supplements withoutabsorbing any supplements is a
disaster.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
We're meant to have
simple lives, aren't we?
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Even now, people no
longer go to the supermarket
because it's too hard to pushthe trolley.
They get them all Uberdelivered to their house.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
In six weeks I'm
sleeping better.
I've already been told bymultiple people that my eyes are
the best I've ever looked.
They're not sunken back in myhead.
I'm looking fuller, like I'velost nine kilos.
Hey guys, welcome back toanother episode of Level Up.
We are back in the shed.
(00:39):
This morning actually, we'redoing an early one but something
really special for you todaybecause I want to take all my
listeners to the next level.
Something I'm really passionateabout is my own personal fitness
and my health.
I haven't always been this way,but something that I've learned
over the past four or fiveyears and definitely the last 12
months as I've been rampingthings up If I'm not right,
(01:03):
nothing around me can be right,my business can't be right, my
team can't be right, myrelationship with my, my kids,
my wife, can never be right orcan never be the best it can be
if I'm not right myself.
And that means my emotionalfitness, health, like everything
, needs to be worked on, andthis year I'm really ramping
(01:23):
that up and taking it seriously.
And today I've got anincredibly special guest for you
to have.
We're going to have a chat withHector from Holistic Coaching.
How are you, buddy?
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Thank you very much.
Great for a Friday morning.
Yep, very, very grateful to behere with you and let's see how
we can make some very good,positive improvement.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
To give everybody a
little bit of background through
another mate of mine, adrianRamsey.
He's a designer on the SunshineCoast.
About 18 months ago, adrianinvited my wife and I to a
charity function that turned outwas actually Hector's charity
and it was an amazing experienceexperience.
(02:06):
It was on a property at thesunshine coast and hector was
there doing all the cooking, allthe food open over an open fire
, which I just I love all thatstuff.
And I think you'd been huntingand you'd actually caught a lot
of the stuff you were cooking.
But, um, and then, adrian, sortof, we've actually caught a lot
of the stuff you were cooking.
And then Adrian, we've beenhaving a few conversations the
(02:28):
last six months about ourpersonal journeys and he just
keeps telling me Duane, you needto get back onto Hector, you
need to train with him.
And here we are a couple ofmonths later and even in, what's
it been?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Six weeks.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Six weeks.
Yeah, yeah six weeks, likeactually doing getting things
doing it yep and mate, thechange is fucking awesome, so
let's get into it.
We got a lot to talk about, sotell, I guess to give the
viewers a little bit ofbackground about what is it you
actually do well, I'm Hector DelNido.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I'm a HK holistic
health coach and I'm a
specialist to help people withany ongoing chronic pain, low
energy, insulin issues and aswell as very common right now is
the stress, and all the issuescome along with the stress.
Basically, it's a weeklysessions when we evaluate how
(03:28):
things are going with yournutrition, sleeping, movement
and then look at together whatare the actions that you're
doing in a weekly base that arehelping you to improve and what
they're not helping you.
So our body is amazing millionyears evolution.
Unfortunately, thepharmaceutical world does not
(03:50):
make a great amount of moneymaking you eat healthy and look
after real health, not therubbish that we all have been
faced chronically for the last60 years about what is supposed
to be quick and easy.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
That is never like
that well, mate, you've
definitely opened my eyes upbecause camille and I thought we
ate pretty well and and lookedafter ourselves.
But so I guess to go back alittle bit like adrian um, I
caught up with adrian a fewmonths ago and, like this year,
I'm pushing hard, like foreveryone that hasn't seen it yet
like I'm putting on thegreatest event the construction
(04:24):
industry's ever seen.
Um, and I'm pushing hard thisyear, uh, 2025.
We're currently in april andI'm just pushing hard on every
part of my life, myrelationships, my team, my
businesses, my wealth,everything and I was burning,
like we're only like februaryand I was already starting to uh
(04:44):
like we're only like Februaryand I was already starting to uh
, to sort of feel the effects ofpushing hard.
And I've been someone that'salways like.
I've been told my whole life Ilook tired.
I've never, I never feel likeduring the day that I have a lot
of energy.
And then over the years I'vebeen bloody to so many
specialists.
I've been diagnosed with bloodysleep apnea and I've had bloody
(05:05):
sciatic nerve nerve issues.
For the last 25 years I've beentold twice I should be in a
wheelchair.
Um, I'm not the type of personthat believes in operations and
those types of things, but I Iwas doing things like I was
doing things I was told to do.
I was stretching, I wasbuilding my core and my back,
since I had an issue with itmaybe six or seven months ago,
(05:29):
which was the last time I wastold I really should have an
operation, otherwise I'm goingto be in a wheelchair.
I've taken it more seriouslyand I've been doing more
exercise and I went and startedworking with another coach.
But, mate you, the change I'vehad in the last six weeks is
like it's fucking phenomenal,like I can't and one of the like
(05:51):
I thought I was going to cometo you.
Well, actually, I missed thepoint when I was trying to get
out there, like I was talking toAdrian about it, because he's
pushing hard as well, and he wastelling me about the hunting
excursions that you put on and Iwas like, man, I'm on this year
.
I want to do that, I want to goout in the wilderness, I want
to live off the land, I want tohunt my own food and cook it,
(06:11):
and that's why I reached out toyou.
And then through and we cantalk more about that soon but
through having like multipleconversations with you, you're
like well, you're not cominghunting until I know you can.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
You can make it back.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I'm not carrying you
back.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Love you, but not
that much.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
And so, yeah, you
started with.
No one's ever sat down like youdid and asked me the questions
you have and figured me out, andin six weeks I'm sleeping
better.
I've already been told bymultiple people that my eyes are
the best I've ever looked.
They're not sunken back in myhead, I'm looking fuller.
Um, I have lost like I've lostnine kilos, but it was obviously
(06:58):
all fat without training hard,without starving, eating more
food that you have probablyeaten in a long time and yeah,
so so I don't know where to gowith this mate because there's
so much to talk about.
But I just want to give everyonea little bit of a background of
where we're at yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
so going back into it
, when we first met 18 months
ago, the charity that I wasorganizing is not Hector's
charity, no, no, I wasorganizing it for the KCM.
That is a great charity thatwe've been supporting for over
five years in Uganda.
So what I put together as a bigpart of my profession is to
(07:44):
help people to realize what isreal healthy food, something
that you can actually go basicand make it yourself in no
longer than half an hour andfeed yourself and your whole
family, not that you have toorganize pre-meal or reheat all
this fancy stuff, heat all thisfancy stuff.
So cooking over the fire isvery heavily into my bloodline,
(08:08):
my soul back as a South American.
So I expressed that enjoymentof energy to do it all day and
to get a great amount of food.
So we did a whole two-year-oldstea.
We did two lambs, 60-odd kilosof chorizo, hispanic sausages
for over 150 people.
So all that work that I puttogether over seven months with
(08:33):
a great support of over a dozenof my amazing friends and
clients.
I have they put in the timba,the meat, the help, and we got
that done.
33 and a half thousand dollarsand all that went to uganda.
So extremely grateful of thatit was awesome.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
It was a really
really good day, mate uh, not
really good for my p?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
l because you can see
my my mouth boy is going down
to busy organizing everything,but it's okay.
He, I have an amazing life forthe last 25 years in Australia.
I truly embrace the Australianspirit and giving back it is a
huge part of my belief and Ikeep being very positive and
excited about what's coming.
(09:14):
Helping the less fortunate is abig part, I believe, for all of
us to do.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Yeah, it's huge.
It's definitely something I'mpassionate in.
But, like you've alreadytouched on it a little bit, but
we're meant to have simple lives, aren't we?
Everyone's just so busy.
Now You've got mum and dad bothworking.
Kids are flat out.
People aren't sitting downaround a dinner table anymore
and eating, and then all theshit we're eating has all grown
(09:44):
quickly and it's just allrubbish.
And again, camille and I havebeen on this bandwagon for a
long time now and realized that,like I had no idea, like even
the veggies that you grow inyour like, we have our own
veggie garden.
Like the veggies you grow inyour veggie garden, you have to
actually go and source properseeds, because if you buy seeds
(10:06):
from the most Modified.
Yeah, they're all modified.
Everything we're putting intoour bodies is modified, and
that's what you've reallyhighlighted, just at an extreme
level, yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
So there are four
major columns that I will focus
on.
Anybody that comes to me forall different issues, from my
14-year-old client to my78-year-old client.
And if we look after our liver,it's a humongous organ that
(10:40):
determines how our blood isflowing, all our hormones and
our energy level.
People have abuse for way toolong of stimulants, caffeine,
taein, all of that and it's justthe rush from sugar.
So that gets you going from Ato B but they drop you and that
(11:01):
is what chronically creates allthese imbalances and the body
does not recognize.
Because this is all new stuffthat's been abused and people
have to be aware that if you'renot going to make a conscious,
20 minutes a day, seven days aweek, not just to do the cooking
or the grounding or the food,just to plan out where I'm going
(11:24):
to be tomorrow, do I'm going toget a good breakfast at home or
have to leave at three in themorning like I did this morning,
and I don't really need to wakeup my wife and my babies,
because then I get home and Iget hit with a fry pan.
I need to be okay.
So this morning was just a hotchocolate drink and some deer
jerky on the way here.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
That's a HK chocolate
, not a shit hot chocolate drink
and some deer jerky on the wayhere.
That's a HK chocolate, not ashit hot chocolate.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
It's so much into it,
but just being organized about
where you're going to get yourfood from, and from week one to
10 years later, we can alwaysoptimize something to a degree.
So that's what means that youneed to go all out and spend a
humongous amount of money on allthe organic vegetables, because
(12:12):
if you're not hydrated enough,that's going to be a waste of
money.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Yeah, let's talk
about that, because that's like
you've really highlighted thatfor me.
So when I first started workingwith Hector, hector's got an
awesome book.
It's actually online as well,and I'm big on journaling, I'm
big on writing stuff down, butI'd never done it with my
exercise, my food or what Idrink.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
And just like yes, I
didn't.
There's weeks where I didn't doit every single day, but just
it only talked about two orthree weeks for me, like writing
down the time, the quantitiesand the exercise I was doing,
how long I was doing it for howmany reps.
All that type of thing likeexercise was fine, but like it
really highlighted for me withthe, the water I wasn't drinking
(13:04):
half as much as I should be,and then with the food, just how
sporadic my food eating was,like just random times, just
fitting it in here, there andeverywhere and just eating,
eating good food most of thetime but then in between it is
(13:24):
is nobody's fault that we havebeen really well educated to
make higher people day into theold chemical world, synthetic
petroleum, pharmaceutical world.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
To believe that the
quick fix is sustainable is not
early, not Early early on therelationship.
I make very clear to wine thatif we're not able to keep a
record, it's just like I said.
Any of you guys have thesuccessful business owners.
If you don't know your numbers,you're going to be successful
till you run out of energybecause everything has to be a
(14:01):
structure.
Don't expect 100% turnout overa month.
No, sometimes clients take ayear before they fully send it.
But if you're making 10improvement every week, every
month, it's already good,positive outcome.
The planning structure neveryou're ever get good outcome if
(14:24):
you're working too hard on yourtraining exercise, if you're
sleeping is out.
I'm like how are you gonna getyour car fixed at the mechanic
if you don't give it the carkeys to your mechanic?
So it is a lot of steps, peopleall the time there's.
I heard about this great greensupplement.
It's's supposed to help my skin.
My this, my everything.
(14:45):
Okay, who sold that to you?
Oh, this very good naturopath,okay.
Does the naturopath know thatyou're drinking three bottles of
wine a week, oh, no that youdrink four coffees a day.
No that you only go to thetoilet twice a week, oh no.
Okay, I'm sorry, but I musttell you that you're full of
(15:07):
shit.
And all the money on all thesupplements.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Literally full of
shit.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Yeah, like, not just
as a shit.
Literally, I have seen so manyX-Rite people with four to five
kilos of poo in areas that youshould never have poo.
So at any point in time I getoh, I got reflex, I got this,
these issues, and I got all thismedication.
(15:33):
I'm like what about, let's helpyour body to flush that out
first, without putting a threeinches house up your ass.
I mean good hydration, stopwith scrap.
And I am always happy to have achallenging conversation with
anybody, because over one or twoweeks of trial and error they
(15:57):
will go back to me and Hector,how you knew that?
And I'm like the human body isnot as complicated.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Doesn't?
That's what you've reallyhighlighted to me, and I think
that's why I'm really enjoyingworking with you and and what,
why we're connecting so well,because I just we're we're
animals yeah like we, we are puton this planet like we don't.
So, like every other animal onthis planet has to learn how to
survive.
They have to hunt for theirfood, they have to find water,
(16:26):
they've got to look afterthemselves.
And yet here we are, thinkingthat life is going to the
supermarket and buying shitthat's in packets.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Even now, people no
longer go to the supermarket
because it's too hard to pushthe trolley.
They get an old Uber deliveredto their house Great for time
saving.
But that extra time you're notgoing to use it in yourself.
You're more likely flickingyour phone watching some
bullshit on TV.
That doesn't help you.
It's all about having thecommitment to have a good goal
(17:01):
and if you agree, or you don'tagree about what we discussed,
but if you commit to it, I willexpect and I will keep you
accountable, to put at least 4050 percent of that over a week.
And then you go back and wow, Iam sleeping better, my chin
splints is no longer heading,but I'm not taking painkillers.
(17:22):
What's going on, hector?
Well, my friends, painkillers,it only numbs the symptom.
What we work it is on deeply,deeply, with enough foundation.
Find out what is causing allthe issues and when we target
that, it's not going to be anyoutcome, any issues.
(17:44):
So, when you understand exactlyhow your body can detox as long
as we are alive, it's a hugeamount of crap going on about
all these new supplements tohelp you with your covid vaccine
and all this other bullshit,and I'm like, hey, you're alive,
you're grateful you're alive.
We can detox, we can move on,we can improve well, there was a
(18:07):
.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
I want to talk about
the poo.
Yeah, no, people don't talkabout poo enough, like you.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
They talk a lot about
shit.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
They talk well, yeah,
they talk a lot about shit, but
not enough about poo.
But, um, you know, once we gotgoing and and we sat down and we
had our first sort of officialmeeting and you sat there, you
took lots of notes and stuff,but you said to me and I'd never
thought about it, but you saidto me, our body can deal with
(18:37):
whatever we put in.
Our body has signs of tellingus that we need to improve on
things.
And you said you should like,if your body is 100% and working
, you shouldn't have to usetoilet paper.
You should go to the toilet, youshould do your poo and it
should snap so clean off thatyou don't need to use toilet
paper.
And I don't know why I've beenthinking about that, but I've
been taking a lot more notice ofmy poo and mate again in six or
(19:02):
seven weeks.
The change is ridiculous.
And now, if I stick to what youtell me to do and the plan, I
drink lots of water.
Poo's fantastic.
If I eat something that my bodyisn't absorbing or agreeing
with, yeah, you're blasting outthe toilet.
(19:23):
So whoever thought on the levelup podcast we'd be talking
about poo?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
here we are well, at
the end of the day, I don't on
any type of business that you'rerunning.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
If you don't know,
you shit, you're in trouble and
that's true and I think I thinkthat's why it related to me,
because you explained it in wayslike you just did then.
Exactly 100%.
If you don't know what's goingin and out of your business,
you're in trouble.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
You will be going
hard with a lot of passion, but
passion without knowledge, and Iam.
Quite often I hurt people'sfeelings and I let everybody
know that if I ever hurt yourfeelings I will go to sleep very
good that night because it'syour issues.
To be such a soft with yourfeelings and this, well, is not
(20:16):
hard.
It's only hard for the onethat's not prepared.
So knowledge is power and theright knowledge.
I get sometimes customers thatthey've been chronically and
this is unbelievable.
That's why I've been putting alarge amount of effort to keep
all these data records for overa decade with my clients, before
(20:38):
and after testimonials, andmany of them they will take a
three-year break and then theygo back to me for another
specific goal and that could bean injury or go to Kokoda or do
any type of crazy adventure.
But if you stick to the basis,we can achieve crazy amount of
goal in way less amount of time,because the key principle of
(20:59):
putting yourself first isamazing.
First is amazing.
So when I get somebody thatcome with me with a chronic
let's just say just a simple onea back pain, neck pain for 10
years, I respect everybody thathave been through the operation
didn't got fixed.
(21:19):
Okay, if they reach me out.
As long as you're still able tobreathe, it can be improved.
In your case, one you've beenmany times told about the
operation this.
This because you're extremelycommitted to yourself, your life
, your family and you know thatit's a better way.
You didn't quite find it, butyou know it's a better way to do
(21:41):
it.
It's huge, so the body willrespond as good as you look
after him.
So going too hard with exerciseand taking way too many
supplements without absorbingany supplements is a disaster.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
That's another thing
that you've really highlighted
with Camille and I Like there'sno point putting all this shit
into your body if your body'snot taking it in.
Thing that you've reallyhighlighted with Camille and I
like it doesn't, like there's nopoint putting all this shit
into your body if your body'snot taking it in.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Yeah.
So, as I've said before, I'mvery okay to, at any point in
time, to have a conversationface-to-face or on Zoom with
anybody that gets a bit itchy orupset about me telling my
experience.
But naturopath, chiropractors,physio, they're all really good
(22:31):
at the right time when they need.
But if any of them threepractitioners haven't really
thought or look about yourclients, stress levels,
hydration, you're gonna betaking a lot of expensive hours
of your time getting all thismanipulation, feeling good for
three, four days and then goingback to it.
Go back to it well.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
You explained it.
We uh, we actually did somewarm-ups with um hector before
we started recording today andyou explained it really well.
Um, using a, an old rag I hadin the shed as an example.
Like if that rags all dry andnot lubed up and you're trying
to pull it, it's going to bevery tight and probably tear and
(23:11):
rip.
But if you dunk it in a bucketof water and lube it up, Correct
the most common type ofinjuries.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
We're just talking
about a muscle T or a ligament T
, very common on the hamstringsor calves.
One way it is yes, you flip atractor, you pull your back, you
fall off the horse, you hurtyour hammy, you go hang up in a
swing.
Okay, that is one type of T.
But if you're just running orjust picking up your kid and you
(23:39):
hurt something, that didn'thappen.
That was the drop thatoverfilled the swimming pool.
So that is from chronicallybeing very dehydrated, and when
we dehydrate our ligaments theylose their flexibility.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
So getting the water
in as much to detox, clean your
liver but at the same time givea moisture to your ligaments is
extremely important and theneven like so I was, I was
drinking a reasonable amount ofwater, but like you, like, I'm
not drinking any water at allnow without salt in it correct.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
See, uh, for many,
many years it's been very common
news you are what you eat.
I agree to a point because withthe crap that we're putting in,
our body is not able to absorbthe nutrients, so we are
actually what we can absorb.
So chronic back pain staticnerve.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
You need to, uh, that
needs to be your slogan.
You're not what you eat, youare what you absorb.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Yes, yep, and yes,
yep, and menopause issue, low
testosterone, all of that issues.
They are right here.
If you don't improve yourstomach line, how are you going
to absorb the super green?
I got so many times customersthat come in with me with
(25:00):
already prescribed TRTtestosterone replacement.
I'm like, hey, that'schemical-based shit.
Of course, to a degree anddepending on your age, it's not
a choice.
But there's so many naturalways to improve that and be able
to maintain that without havingto buy the chemical.
It's just like a Panadol for aheadache it will take it away,
(25:24):
but it's not going to fix theone for the next day.
Oh, that's next day problem.
Yeah, three years later you gotmassive ulcers on your stomach
from all the painkillers.
Then we got another level ofissues and just to go back into
the one before, when I get acustomer and I do have that on
my website people can look inbecause it just sounds crazy
(25:46):
that they have eight differentdoctors to treat the humongous
bad reaction, intolerance withmany different foods, or the
chronic back pain or massivemigraines.
They go from medication tomedication, to treatment, to the
massage, to the capping, to thebreathing, to the herbs, but
(26:09):
because they're not treating thesymptom, it just keep coming
back and the amount of customersI get mid 40s, early 50s that
they tell me two years later,hector, I am stronger, healthier
, more energized than when I was35.
Imagine if I knew what I knownow 20 years ago and I'm like,
(26:31):
well, don't think about that,just be grateful that you know
now.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
So your body, when
it's not absorbing the nutrients
because you saw them inflamedand constipated nutrients,
because you saw them inflamedand constipated, all that
capsules of magnesium or supergreen or whatever is going to go
right out into a very expensivepee and poo in the toilet.
(26:56):
So you, literally, you couldkeep your shit and sell it
because it's all the supplements.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
They're going right
there it's and it I again.
This is all stuff that.
Really, why aren't we taught atschool?
Why aren't we taught more abouthow to look after ourselves and
how to eat and prepare food andall this type of stuff?
Obviously, I think you're onthe same page as me.
I think the world's got anagenda and the agenda is to make
(27:22):
a lot of people a lot of money.
They don't care about all theindividual people, but, um, and
I think another reason I I thinka lot of people shy away from
some of the stuff we're talkingabout is cost.
Like everyone thinks it's goingto be really expensive.
Um, but as I've learned overthe last few months working with
you, like it doesn't have to beexpensive, like I'm, I'm doing
(27:45):
a lot more prep.
Like I was up 4.30 this morningin the kitchen making four
kilos of jerky so that I've gothealthy snacks to drive around
with.
I'm not just trying to eat shitfood.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
I have embraced this
for many, many years through my
own personal journey and througheverybody that come into my
life.
The very best two investmentsyou will ever do in life.
First one is knowledge.
Be good at whatever you want todo.
Be great at it.
Second is food.
(28:20):
Oh, but Hector, what about yourwife, your kids, your this?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I love them all, but if I don'thave good knowledge on what I
do, I won't be able to get thefinancial to cover up all my
life and if I don't eat the verybest, I won't be able to do
what I do for 14, 16 hours a dayas a business owner.
Everybody out there now it's notfucking public holidays, it's
(28:45):
not Saturday and Sunday hit thefence, you have to get in, leave
your shit up and just get intoit.
And if you're going to complainabout that, go back and get a
fucking job.
But that's not cool because,well, choose what you're going
to do, hit it.
And when you look back and I'vedone this many, many, many
times as we keep at data I havehad customers having a
(29:06):
mind-blowing experience whenthey realize that they've been
hung over three months a year.
So they only make goodfinancial business ideas.
Only nine months of the year,minus the holidays, only eight
months, and they're still doingwell.
And I'm like I'm not going tomake you stop drinking alcohol
because that's your enjoyment,but I will give you all the
(29:29):
hacks, all the tricks, so thatis not going to ruin the next
two, three days of your life.
The assignment is how manypeople can put their hands up
that they haven't taken a weekof work in the last six weeks?
Right now, influenza, stomachbags it is crap going around all
the time because everybody'simmune system is lower.
(29:49):
I'm not going to go into therabbit hole of the vaccines and
controlling the world.
You get sick because yourimmune system is weak.
That's it, hector.
You're calling me weak.
Yes, it is what it is.
The 20-kilo rock that youpicked up and hurt your back is
(30:12):
not too heavy.
Your back is weak as piss.
God damn it, guys.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
This is why I like
working with you, mate, because
you tell me how it is.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Not long ago, we men
would walk 40, 50 k's, hopefully
kill something, and if you'regrateful, you kill a lesser deer
buffalo.
Okay great, take the fuckingthing back home to feed your
wife and kids.
If you're not able to carryhalf your body weight back,
(30:44):
you're not going to be doing twoor three trips, guys.
Hey, it's not fucking uber,it's not quad bike.
You need to carry on your legsand if you leave that day, by
the time you get back dingos,wolf, bears, cats they will eat
it.
So you need to be aware that wenot always have been this weak
as we are today At any point intime.
(31:05):
It's not about having lowenergy, it is about not
recovering enough.
The weights are never too heavy.
You are not strong enough, andat that point it's crucial to
have the right awareness of whatit takes to get there.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
So we'll definitely
come back and keep going on all
this stuff, but, like, I guess,to give everyone listening a bit
of your background, becausethat's going to help put the
pieces together.
But you're a you're a prettyintimidating person to look at,
like you're like, look at thesize of you huge, but um, but
like, tell us your story, mate,because you haven't always been
on this journey and I thinkanother reason I resonate really
(31:51):
well with you is you practicewhat you preach.
You've put in the effort,you've got the rewards and now
you're helping other people.
So take us back.
Well, let's go back to comingto Australia.
When did you first come toAustralia?
Speaker 1 (32:08):
to like coming to
australia.
When did you first come toaustralia?
Um one one thing.
Before that, I was extremelyfortunate to have an amazing
childhood.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I grew up in a very
small country town in the south
america, in the patagoniaactually this is good let's
let's talk about this, becauseyou've told me some good stories
about this so I grow up in anenvironment that I never knew
that we have to lock the cardoor or that the car key won't
be in the car ignition.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
So just to give you
an idea, it was amazing as soon
as I have a lot of troubles as akid at school I never was able
to sit for more than 10, 15minutes and strive, because I
have every single diagnosis thatthey can libel a kid.
I have them all.
Every single diagnosis thatthey can libel a kid.
I have them all.
The great thing that when theytook me to the specialist, the
(32:52):
doctor was a good friend of mydad and he was away I'm talking
about 30 years ago already thatthis long-term medication is not
good for anybody.
So he just told my dad you needto get your boy to do more
sports.
So long story short hunting,fishing my whole life.
I never really enjoy any teamsport because I like to go hard
(33:12):
and I hate to get issues with myteam members because they're
doing a half-assed job.
So I'm, I don't hold back.
That's why I believe is one ofthe secrets of being happy,
because if I like you, I tellyou, and if I don't like you, I
tell you too, so I'm cool withthat.
And I ended up having twohorses, one for monday to
thursday.
I went for says that to sundaybecause otherwise you can count
(33:36):
the ribs on my horse.
I will just flat out fullenergy back in the patagonia in
ch and 2000,.
I moved to Australia.
I came here to support manyfellow team members in rowing at
the Olympic Games.
That was an unbelievable story.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
So in the 2000 Sydney
Olympic Games, Sydney correct.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Yeah, I was
supporting the Chilean rowing
team so I went boarding schoolin Valdivia.
He's the best rower of SouthAmerica, so that was amazing.
And at that point, at 16 yearsof age, I learned the true
understanding of commitment.
I was extremely fortunate tosign up in a rowing club.
Name is Phoenix, run andoperate by Germans in Chile.
(34:21):
So if anybody know a bit ofGermansans and austrians, they
stick to the plan.
So I started the sport way toolate, but I have the energy to
do three years of training inone year.
So I did well, did got a lot ofcompetitions through school,
through state, nationally.
I didn't quite manage to get tothe whole Olympic performing,
(34:44):
but I still came up, supportedthem and it was an amazing story
.
So all I knew about Australiawas Crocodilo Dundee, old Paul
Hogan that I got to meet inperson massive, massive dream
and of course, Steve Irwin therest in peace.
So that was the country of thedreams, where you get paid to
(35:04):
hunt, no, where you can go tothe snowy mountains and catch
your own wild brombies and keepthem.
Oh, that's the dream.
So that was a big part of mymotivation to come to Australia.
So after the Olympic Games Istayed for 11 months with my
uncle, julia, in Darwin, in theNT, and as soon as I was able to
(35:29):
speak a little bit of English,I take all the notes, all the
questions I need to do, and Iwould catch a bus to go to the
immigration office in the cityand from that day they started
helping me how to be able to goback to Australia.
When I was only 18 years of age, I thank God I never went to
(35:50):
university and I never will andwent home, did a heavy machine
course because that was thenumber one tape they need in
Darwin at that point.
Six-month course, one-yearexperience, like 2021.
I was back in Australia withall my legal papers as a working
(36:13):
visa.
Yeah, and I only have done workon machinery on friends'
properties because at that timeI didn't want to leave town.
I want to stay in town with mygirlfriend at that time.
So I worked in Kitchen Hannah'srestaurant.
So, without having a greatEnglish, doing dishes was a
really good job.
(36:34):
And if you have been to Darwinin April, may, it's the wet
season, so coming from the snowymountains in South America to
go to the tropical was a massivechange.
So till today, the Colemanfamily in Darwin.
They're still great familyfriends.
I've been to the weddings,they've been to my weddings and
they were my first people towork for, from then kitchen hand
(37:00):
moving to security, then fromsecurity moving to start helping
people at the gyms, then intoSparky and 2009,.
When the crisis was pretty highup, my boss at the electrician,
george, asked if anybody couldtake some time off because
things went good.
(37:20):
I was happy to put my hands upand literally by the end of the
month I was happy to put myhands up and literally by the
end of the month I was busierever just doing PT at the gym
Because I have a really goodfollow up of clients that they
want more of my time for them,their family, their friends.
But I only have the 5 am or 5pm after my full time
(37:42):
electrician.
So it was a bit of a transitionthat I never planned and till
today I never look back.
I've been an amazing 16 yearsof living my best life.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
You've definitely
lived a good life and I'm
looking forward to being in aposition where you're not
worried about carrying me backand coming on one of these
hunting journeys up in the NT.
Tell us a little bit more,because during that time you got
into your deadlifting andweightlifting.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Well, as I said
before, through my background on
rowing, having a really goodcoach to give me a really good
program and seeing the results,I stick to some principle with
the gym.
So I was working at arestaurant.
I work every morning andafternoon, so I will do the gym
every day at lunchtime.
Start getting some really goodresults.
(38:34):
Listen to some people that Ibelieve they knew what they're
talking about and I find everysingle book in Spanish about
health and fitness before Ilearn English and just act to it
, stick to it.
I didn't know about supplements, about going heavy, going light
.
I just went all out six days aweek and that worked for me.
(38:56):
So I went from 72 and a halfkilos of lean running machine to
86 kilos in the first year inaustralia and where people they
will always see me high energy,happy and always happy to help
they were coming up to me Hector, can you explain me this
exercise, can you explain methese supplements?
(39:19):
And I will help them.
And two weeks later, threeweeks later, somebody else come
again with the same print ofPiper and I'm like, okay, so, so
after a while, where you gotthat, where you got that
programs that you don't know howto do.
Oh, my pt gave me that hector,so why he doesn't explain you
(39:41):
how to do it?
No, that's extra.
And I'm like, well, you know,you pay shit, you get shit.
So steady people.
They start getting together andasking me if I will coach them.
I will train them.
At that time I have my full-timejob electrician and security I
wasn't needing for any moremoney and I couldn't think that
(40:06):
they will give me money.
So I refused to get any money.
So they will come to the gymwith chickens, with packs of
bananas, with gym belts, sothat's something for it without
me asking.
And yeah, I found myself wasactually quite good.
And then, of course, I startedlooking more into how different
body types work, how females,how age groups start getting
(40:30):
more specialized, and the sameis as an Olympic athlete, I only
look at and I study researchfrom the very best of the
country, the world, not justsomebody that put a bullshit
article, that got a study casedone in the University of Mexico
City, whatever a site that thisis good for this.
(40:50):
I'm like, hey, you haven't winanything.
I want to see that you walk thetalk.
So many of the experts on thetopic of exercise, movement
nutrition.
They were the very best andjust keep cruising doing that
like 10 hours a week, no morewhen time come up to back off.
(41:11):
My electrician went on that and, yeah, I got send it yeah, it's
awesome, man.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
It's a great story
and it just shows you how
passionate you are about it.
But, like, how do you go fromthat to where you are now, where
you just okay, you got such agood understanding of our bodies
?
Speaker 1 (41:29):
have always been
complimented by great people in
the gym about my strength, myenergy, just the way I look.
Well, a lot of them they wantto know what drugs I was using.
To be honest, that was thefucking bottom line and the
answer till today always beengood food, love life, sleep well
(41:52):
and be patient.
So successfully managed tocompete five times in my career
over five different years innatural bodybuilding WMBF.
That is actually drug testedevery time NT, sydney and
international.
So being encouraged by greatfriends and customers.
(42:13):
About Hector, you have to havea goal.
Like everybody, you're lookingbetter now than people on the TV
on the competition, so I justknow my thing.
This friend come to my house inthe old DVD Dragon Mu from
Darwin.
He was a superstar back in the90s in Australia bodybuilding.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
And he showed me his
videos and I didn't see any
exciting about flexing andsqueezing and a little budget
smuggler.
I wasn't too keen about it.
But what he showed me is allthe posing, all the artistic
part into the competition.
I'm like, oh yeah, and the songwas the Final Countdown.
I'm like, oh yeah, and the songwas the final countdown and I'm
like, yeah, I can do that, thatlooks fun.
(42:56):
Okay, 2005,.
I did my first comp, went toAdelaide First time, first
attempt, with no help, just onmy own, I got fifth in Australia
Great.
After that I got my full-timeresidency, so that means I can
leave the country and go backanytime I want.
So the very next year I went toChile and I lived the best life
(43:18):
for a whole year.
And after my competition, as Ialways encourage everybody, any
advice you're going to get fromsomebody, make sure they know
what they're talking about.
A lot of people tell you you'redoing great, but they don't
know shit about that topic.
So when I want my dream house,I talk to Adrian Ramsey.
(43:40):
When I need a developer tobuild it, then we talk I'm not
just going to a good friend thatis an electrician, slash
builder, architect.
I want to go the very best.
So the judges told me, hector,you need to build up these two
master groups and you will beunstoppable.
Okay, so I stick to that fortwo years, two years.
(44:03):
I went all the way through itIn 2008,.
Back in Australia, I woneverything in Darwin and the
prize of the overall championwas efforts to go to Sydney.
In my wildest dream, I willthink about going to the
Nationals in Sydney, darwinbeing such a small town and a
few friends.
(44:23):
They were really encouraging me, hector.
Well, you got the efforts.
We can help you out.
Just go, have a go.
When they done my thing 15 ofus from all over Australia and I
started on the top six ofAustralia and I was so proud and
excited that I'm going to goback to Darwin to tell my
friends I'm the number six inthe country.
(44:44):
Number six called out numberfive, number four, and they went
and signed my name and I'm likeI'm the setting australia's
best great.
I'm the second best inaustralia, great.
And actually I was the winner.
Yeah, without even.
So, I never really realized howmuch preparation my body and
(45:09):
how good I was on stage.
So I took on the Australiantitle.
That really helped to help memore with my personal training
business, but at that time Ionly have 10 hours a week
because I was doing electrician.
See, I become a full-timetrainer a year after.
So then in 2009, I went backagain.
(45:31):
I won the NT.
I won Mr Australia for secondtime in a row in the WNBF, the
only true natural federation inprobably the world.
As they do, drug test you urine, blood and the lie detector at
local stage and at nationals andinternationals the top three,
not just a random lucky crap.
(45:52):
So I'm making clear that youwant to run clean.
You go to the best place tohave a good chance yeah and I
just bought my first investmentproperty.
I was pretty broke.
I was pretty flogged out withmy, with my training being
consistently very depleted for20 weeks, and I was like,
(46:16):
alright, I wanted this, but Idon't.
I'm not going to New York.
And my great friend, one of mylongest friends in Australia,
justin Coleman, he was likeHector you maybe don't get this
chance twice in your lifetime.
We send you there.
You go to my, you go to my pub,you go to my nightclubs, you go
to heaps of friends that loveyou at.
Hector, let's get you a charityevent.
(46:39):
We send you to New York.
This is on a Wednesday, fridaynight.
At the Deck Bar in Darwin, wehave the all-time biggest, ever
best ladies night.
Yeah, of course, I was in agood shape.
A lot of my friends are goodshape, so we did a ladies night
and that got me all the money topay my fs at my hotel for the
(47:01):
two weeks I was in new york togo and compete in uh in the
world world championships ofnatural bodybuilding, I become
fifth in the world.
I was extremely proud to be inthe top 10 because I was the
best of the world.
That was the top top top.
Speaker 2 (47:17):
That's incredible
mate.
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (47:20):
And I push extra hard
, having all my great friends
putting their work, taking timeout of work, and all the
donations and all the money thatsent me through.
So I have in my t-shirt all mynine sponsors that they were
helping me, from ContinentalBarbershop giving me free
haircuts, to all the friendspaying for my hotels, all the
(47:43):
friends paying me for my meatorder at the butcher shop.
It was just like amazing.
Yeah and yeah, I become numberfifth in the world.
And the best outcome out ofthat that in New York I met my
amazing wife, kathleen.
She was representing Australiaas well in bikini class from the
(48:07):
Gold Coast.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
Yeah right.
Speaker 1 (48:09):
So the day after the
competition we were sitting at
Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square,from the Gold Coast.
So the day after thecompetition we were sitting at
Hard Rock Cafe in Times Squareand I strategically sit in front
of her on the table with allthe Australian team and she have
all the green flags.
It was just too good to be true.
She have not an ex-partner injail, she wasn't on any mental
(48:31):
medications, she didn't have anykids and she was already very
committed with her training at21 years of age huge.
So I was just amazed, yeah, soI've met your family mate.
Speaker 2 (48:47):
You have an
incredible family beautiful
young kids and, uh yeah, awesomewife.
It's awesome.
Speaker 1 (48:53):
I love it yeah, all
my four girls at home, my wife
and my three daughters.
So, yeah, just like everything,I truly believe if we nurture
our mental and physical health,then we can be the very best to
everybody.
I get this quite often,especially with moms.
Oh, but, hector, you're makingme upset.
(49:15):
I feel like a bad mom because Ishould have my kids, my husband
, everybody first.
And I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah,but you've been in chronic pain
and all these issues for adecade.
It's time to look afteryourself.
So don't feel guilty to takethe half an hour time a day to
(49:35):
have peace and quiet.
And many of great friends andlong-term clients that when they
see this, they're like, hector,you're talking about me.
No, no, no.
It is quite often that I getthese amazing moms, amazing
human beings, as ladies, to beable to get up 20 minutes
(49:57):
earlier than normal because thebody is recovering, to be able
to get up a little bit earlierand not to go in to do the
laundry, lunch boxes or anythingto do with the house, but
actually sit down in the balconyin that quiet area as you know,
with kids, silence is a giftand enjoy the warm water with
(50:23):
lemon and honey, or a nice waterwith some lemon, honey or hot
chocolate h HK chocolate mate.
Yep, yep and the other Hectorthat 20 minutes.
It is priceless and it's okayif you get emotional the first
couple of weeks doing it becauseyou haven't ever allocated time
(50:44):
for yourself.
So I put this rule of notpicking up your phone till you
finish your drink and I makesure if it is a H-K choco or H-K
turmeric it have to be hotwater so you not scalp that to
go and get in with the laundryor the iron.
So priorities have to be firston anything.
(51:08):
As we spoke about construction,I don't really give a shit
about how good is yourexperience on roofing, but if
you haven't put the foundationsand the underground work first,
more likely that roof is notgoing to be very good on top of
the sticks.
So you work on the foundation.
So anybody that look for aquick diet and a quick training
(51:34):
and some supplements to changetheir life, please do not waste
your money and time because I'mnot going to be the one to help
on that.
Speaker 2 (51:43):
Yeah, and look, it's
definitely.
It does take a little bit toget your head around, like I
think I've, like I'm loving it,I think I've gotten in the
rhythm.
Uh, quite well, because camilleand I were already sort of
going down that path of lookingafter ourselves a lot better.
But I was, um, like I wasexpecting to come to you and you
(52:03):
give me an exercise routine andwe get stuck into it.
But you've been saying that, no, you got to get your
foundations right, got to getyour gut right, got to get your.
You've got to get yourfoundations right, got to get
your gut right, got to get yourhealth right, got to get your
sleeping right.
Speaker 1 (52:16):
As a lot of my
country clients, I get along so
well because I'm a farm kid.
If you love your meat, if youlove good food and you're okay
with getting punched in the face, we're going gonna get along
really well like it's period.
If you're a bit of a, tooeasily offended and too into
(52:39):
them, I just like my vegetablesbecause, okay, go back and live
in india, love you, but you wantto optimize yourself to the
best.
We need to get you the highestquality nutrition that your body
will handle.
So it's a lot to go with yourDNA background to see why you're
going to work better withseafood or with red meat or with
(53:00):
white meat and the cost ofinvesting on good quality grass
fed, organic beef, lamb, pork,fish.
It is a humongous investmentforever because that will give
you more energy to make the bestdecisions.
So you're not going to bemucking up your fucking quotes
(53:20):
because you're too tired and youalready have four cups of
coffee and friday afternoon.
You're exhausted.
Guys, this is friday morning.
I already having a very goodweek, busy week, and anybody
know in this part of Australiaand in New Zealand two weeks ago
, I've been flat out chasing bigred deer, big stacks and I got
(53:40):
two more weeks.
So I am up at 3 in the morningon weekends hunting all the way
through lunchtime and then goout again till night, and I am
okay for another two weeks tokeep that up.
So it's what you do on a dailybasis.
Expect to be tired on Thursday.
The issue starts on Wednesday.
You're supposed to be able toperform at your best at any hour
(54:05):
on the clock.
You're doing your task Becausewhen you're not performing at
your best, you're rippingsomebody off.
Speaker 2 (54:12):
Yeah, including
yourself, you're ripping
yourself off.
Speaker 1 (54:15):
Correct, Because our
decisions that we make when
we're exhausted they're notgoing to be the best decisions.
And keep thinking on pushingmore, more, more exercise when
you're sleeping is bad.
I'm like mate you don't runyour horse on bitumen for a day
(54:35):
and then put the shoes on it.
You need to fuck off thebitumen, just run on grass, Put
the shoes, then go.
So the confidence that we willrebuild, specifically with your
20-odd years of chronic backissues, is rebuild your back
strongest ever been.
So when it is time to roll abuffalo or a camel or carry a
(54:58):
big Zambadilla back legs up anddown the mountains in Victoria
for half a day, you won't have asecond in your mind to worry
about.
Oh, I'm not sure about tomorrow, Because we will already put
our body through that test athousand times before.
So nobody want to go to anevent and they prepare.
(55:19):
But preparation on paper isgreat, but we have to put the
action it just makes so muchsense.
Speaker 2 (55:26):
Going like it makes
so much sense, man, I don't know
why it's taken me so long tosee it, but I'm just.
I'm excited.
Like I am so excited to wherethis is going to lead because,
like I said to you on Wednesday,when we caught up like we've
got this Kokoda Challenge comingup where it's only 48Ks in a
day or non-stop, but like I'venever been someone that's
(55:52):
enjoyed running or or doingreally like endurance endurance
type stuff and like I and solike, for I'm just started into
my seventh month.
so for seven months now, or justover six months, I've committed
to doing something every singleday, so whether it's just an
(56:14):
all-body weight, like I don'thave weight, so just push-ups,
sit-ups, all those types ofthings.
I'm using an app on my phone,but I've been worn out doing it
and I'm only doing 20 minutes to40 minutes a day, whereas I've
been doing your stuff.
Now, every week we do a reviewwhere I'm at you tell me what I
need to work on, what I need toadd, um, and so far it's only
(56:37):
it's only been about my food,what I'm eating, how much I'm
eating my water, my sleeping.
This week's, the first week,you've actually given me a
workout a workout, I said, astructure of day one, two and
three yeah because with what youwere doing already, your body
was already holding the stresslevels just enough.
Speaker 1 (56:59):
So if I put more at
that point we'll be breaking
point and, as we all know, ifyou kill your client you're not
going to get the invoice.
So my first job, being honest,he like feels like hey, do you
want to kill me?
And I'm like hey, hey, you'redead.
Speaker 2 (57:16):
No money, no honey no
, I can't do that it is but like
I was telling you, like mondayI felt like I did two workouts.
I did my workout in the morningand then did my stuff with like
, did work, did the stuff withthe family, had dinner and I was
like I got more energy, likeI'm gonna go, I was gonna go for
(57:37):
a walk but then it startedraining so I was like my wife's
got a treadmill, so I'm gonnaget on the treadmill.
I did six k's on the treadmillin.
I think it was like 41 minutesor something which I've never
done in my life, like I hatetreadmills.
But in my mind I kept tellingmyself shit, like I'm gonna be
sore tomorrow, because wheneverI do a long walk or I do try to
(58:00):
jog, my shins hurt for days,sometimes weeks, and that was
Monday night and I have not hadone pain.
Speaker 1 (58:11):
So when you express
that to me over our session, in
my world is another green flag.
Another green flag.
Okay, duane is, it is comingalong, it's doing this.
So that gives me the open doorsto.
Okay, this is the next step.
I never encourage somebody togo to a step three and four.
If you're still not clear onlevel two.
(58:34):
Get this very clear One of thebest instructors for free that
you will ever have in your lifeit is the doctor of pain.
Pain goes with you, no matterwhere you fucking go.
You can go underneath your bed,you can run away.
(58:56):
Whatever Pain will be with you.
So when your body is in pain,switch the shit up and realize
that your body is telling youhey, houston, we got some issues
here.
Don't believe that the nextweek is going to be better just
because you're very positive andpassionate about healing.
(59:16):
Positivity and passion withoutknowledge equal disaster.
I have this quote excitementwith the wrong knowledge equal
fucking shit time.
So because your body has beenin a very low levels of minerals
for what you're going to do,your calves, your chin muscles,
(59:38):
is telling you that walk likethe one that you did three weeks
ago, it was too much.
So before you hurt me bad.
I'm going to give you somehorrible chin splints, some
calves cramps, my hammies.
Speaker 2 (59:51):
So you don't do that
again, because that is a
negative experience well, Ithought when I spoke to you
three weeks ago after we'd donethat 13 or 14k walk on a
saturday, I thought it was myshoes.
So I was online looking atdifferent shoes.
I thought my shoes must besomething's wrong with my, the
way my feet are walking, I'mgetting too much pain.
But it's obvious it's not theshoes yeah, but it is all a
(01:00:13):
combined.
Speaker 1 (01:00:14):
I never will say it
is 100 black or green or not.
It is a bit of a combinationand we need to remember as well
that three weeks ago, when I didall the cooking, cooking
demonstrations, we got outsideon the grass and we did the
grounding.
So since you've been doingbarefoot grounding on grass,
putting one leg off the groundfor 18 seconds and then the next
(01:00:37):
foot, that will work all yourmuscles that you haven't worked
in years because our shoes willrestrict the movement.
So all the stabilized muscles.
If you don't use it, you loseit.
Yes, guys, girls, I'm seriousif you don't use it, you lose it
.
And I get out there.
This is a really good saleskick in here.
(01:00:59):
It's quite often I get mid 40s,early 50 year old men.
We better improve sex life thatthey have in the early 40s.
Why, hello, blood flowinghydraulics.
It's not fucking, it's notrocket science.
So if you don't have enoughhydraulic oil, how the fuck you
(01:01:21):
expect to get the old men towork?
Speaker 2 (01:01:24):
Well, it's men and
women, isn't it?
It's all blood flow.
Speaker 1 (01:01:28):
So this is when it
gets funny, because I always
keep it strictly confidential.
And then when I work withJohnny and Susie as husband and
wife, whatever I did with thesession starts between us,
because it doesn't become anightmare of he trying to tell
her what hector side or shetelling him what hector side.
(01:01:48):
No, no, it is we working.
You go 100 k's an hour, you go50 case an hour.
But quite often it's hilariousbecause three months in working
with, let's say, suzy, she'll belike hector listen, my husband
gonna come to work with you, buthe will tell you it's all about
his belly or his, his doublechin or his boobies or whatever.
(01:02:11):
But really he's been very upsetbecause he doubled up on Viagra
and still is not able to keep upwith my sex drive now at 48.
So for all the men out there,that's the dream.
So then I have to work with himto optimize his energy and
(01:02:32):
everything and the cycling sign.
When the man is back to histestosterone level, where you
should be, you're happy, yourenergy is going, you're happy
and having sex it is a beautifuldemonstration of love and it's
free.
It just helps you sleep.
Speaker 2 (01:02:50):
I can tell you, no
one talks about it, but sex is a
massive part of a healthylifestyle.
Speaker 1 (01:02:55):
A hundred percent and
if it's with your wife, even
better.
So quite often I get blockedwith a bit of tendonitis that I
don't know where from and I'mlike I think I know why.
So having energy to invest inthat being real three kids three
(01:03:16):
kids, one only one year old ifyou can get to enjoy that two
and a half to five minutes, isfucking great it's um look at it
all.
Speaker 2 (01:03:27):
Every single part
plays a role in having a healthy
lifestyle and and yeah, havinga couple of good sessions a week
is bloody part of having a goodlifestyle.
It's healthy.
Speaker 1 (01:03:37):
And, as I always say
and it's very hard because as
soon as the mum has the kids, ashow we evolve, the focus of the
mum has to be 100% the kids,not themselves, and forget about
the husband.
I think the dog is going to befirst, before the husband.
So you put all that in, and amom that is very lack of sleep
(01:03:59):
is not going to be in a mood fornothing.
So that one I get all my mildclients.
All right, you have your mainneeds.
Your wife needs to sleep.
So what about you?
Driving home, allocate an hourtime, whatever you can make it,
take the baby for an hour in thecar for a drive, go and get
some shopping, whatever, so shecan have a nap, and then your
(01:04:21):
chances to get lucky, they'regoing to be a lot higher.
So it's all about a team effort.
So the amount of time that Idrive home after work and my
baby is already on my wife's carrunning with the aircon, for me
to take it for a 45 minutedrive so she can get to sleep.
Now, I'm not going to guarantee, guys, that every time you will
(01:04:42):
get lucky.
No, it's more like a one out ofseven time.
But it's better than nothing.
Speaker 2 (01:04:47):
You touched on
testosterone.
I've never been tested, I don'tknow, but I feel I'm pumping
when it comes to that.
But so many of my mates andcolleagues that I talk to
regularly at the moment over thelast couple of years are all on
these testosterone supplementsand then I've learned through
talking to them like a lot ofit's just coming back to the
(01:05:10):
shit we're putting in our bodies, like it's affecting our
testosterone once again uh, it'san industry.
Speaker 1 (01:05:19):
It's a very good,
money-making business, because
when you start putting inchemicals into your body and
you're not healing like it isgreat to a degree.
You got a very bad burn youneed some testosterone heal, or
you got a very bad injury to youneed some testosterone heal, or
you've got a very bad injury Toget you healed quick.
A bad contract great.
But at the same time you needto improve all the other aspects
of life or you will not be justlike many, many, many men up
(01:05:42):
there that they look amazing butthey're a bag of shit waiting
for a fucking stroke or a heartattack and the testicles they're
just like a fucking key ringbecause waiting for a fucking
stroke or a heart attack.
And the testicles they're justlike a fucking key ring because
they're sterile and they gothips over the issues that they
won't talk because theirsatisfaction in their life it is
that 140, 150 bench press.
So if that's your happiness,good on you.
(01:06:03):
I respect that, but don't tellme that that's healthy and the
only choice.
I've been many, many times drugtested and I actually quite
enjoy it when people they'relike Hector, but my goal is not
to get as strong and big as you.
I want to be fast, I want to befunctional.
Okay, so you think that you'refaster than me?
Okay, put your mouse where yourwallet it is and let's have a
(01:06:27):
sprint for 100 bucks each.
Bring as many of your footymice you got and, as I mentioned
, I'm all happy.
Any point in time.
We can do it, we can record it,and the winner takes a lot.
That's the thing.
The winner takes all the moneyBecause when you do the right
thing your strength, flexibilityyou have to be faster or you're
(01:06:48):
a bag of shit.
Speaker 2 (01:06:53):
Flexibility is is
huge, isn't it?
Like we?
Um, it's something that wedon't think about enough, and I
definitely don't like I just thefew times over the years that
I've wanted to get fit or bulkup, it's just like go, go, go to
the gym, do weights, whatever,but like, since I've been doing
all the stretching andexercising over the last six
months, like everything justfeels better.
More movement, like I can squat, I can put my ass to the ground
, like I can keep my heels onthe ground, I can touch my toes,
(01:07:16):
all those things.
It's um, and again, everythingjust comes back to us thinking
that we're life's too busy andwe just sit in chairs all day.
We drive around our trucks, sookay.
Speaker 1 (01:07:26):
So, and I say this
openly yes, yes, australia, we
do pay a fair bit of tax, but wehave an amazing country.
So you get no tax in Uganda,you good luck, or leave over
there.
I'm like I'm happy where thingsare.
Flexibility it is just likerunning a successful business
(01:07:48):
putting on the side, on yourseparate account, your money for
GST and tax.
You can get away for the firstcouple of months, couple of
years, but when they get you,you're up to the ring and it's
very sad that it's still thisday and age.
A lot of the business they gobankrupt because they don't have
the tax clear, and I'm likeeverybody knows it.
(01:08:08):
But we believe that the nextjob is going to be better this,
this, this.
So what's the point to go like arocket very good into your
health journey if then you pullyour fucking hamstrings or you
pull your pec off?
I'm like it's best to go a bitsteady and steady does not mean
(01:08:28):
slow, that means consistent andget the the mind and then go to
the next level.
So it's it's just crazy.
Going back into what we saidbefore, my success well, I have
excelled in rowing when I was inchile.
Before that, anything to dowith horses, cross country,
(01:08:49):
before that anything to do withhorses, cross country, mountain
bikes, and in Australia I havegot a fair few power lifting
championships as well as bodybuilding.
So the reason why I excel ondifferent sports is because I am
aware that getting the rightknowledge back up with the
consistent work and back that upwith the right nutrition and
(01:09:09):
sleeping is all possible.
See everybody have a thousandfucking problems.
Consistent work and back thatup with the right nutrition and
sleeping is all possible.
See everybody have a thousandfucking problems till you're in
hospital dying.
When your health goes to shit,then it's only one problem stay
alive.
So I will like is my health isgood and I got a hand and brain
(01:09:30):
to keep doing what I do.
Any other issue, it can besolved.
But when you are in a terminalsituation or with somebody
getting organs removed becauseall this cancer bullshit and all
the other crap is going onaround, it's just way too often.
So then you no longer worryabout how your customers feel
(01:09:51):
about it, taking a week off orshit.
I should look after my, mysleeping better, because tumor,
cancers, all these chronicdiseases from our lifestyles is
purely only from having a bodyvery acidic.
So if you alkaline yourself,your chances are close to none.
(01:10:16):
And yes, I do have a largeamount of testimonials with
clients before, during and aftercancers.
And if you already got it andyou already got some area
removed, whatever, and you'revery worried about getting it
back, being worried is not goingto help, I'm sorry.
Being worried is only going tocause you sleep more like shit
(01:10:39):
and become more pronated to it.
So when you get action and putthe right information is amazing
what can be done yeah with thegreat success on my bodybuilding
career back in 2011, when Iwent back for a second time to
represent Australia in New York,was a great cost, was a great
(01:11:01):
challenge.
I don't talk about problems,because everything that happened
in my life was my choice.
Even when I think they wereunfair, there were other people
people.
When I surround them, I exposemyself to it.
So, as I always say, if thekitchen is too hot for you, get
the fuck out of the kitchen.
So I don't blame the kitchenfor being hot.
(01:11:22):
22 weeks of comp prep I got mybody percent down to 3% body fat
if anybody know that that, itis what you have to do for being
a good bodybuilder but it's farfrom being healthy.
So I overdid the stimulants, Ioverdid the amount of cardio, I
(01:11:43):
overdid the bullshit chicken andbroccoli and all that rubbish
that everybody think is healthy.
But the havoc is what?
I'm 28 years of age and I gotmultiple tendonitis from my
heels, my knees, my hips.
I wasn't able to squat,deadlift or sprint for over a
year, and my wife, at 22 yearsof age, has some serious chronic
(01:12:06):
back issues L4, l5, bulgingdiscs, fractured discs.
I'm in a disaster.
L4, l5, bulging discs,fractured discs.
I'm in a disaster.
In our heart, we believe we areway too young to have all these
issues.
After all the X-rays, anybodycan tell you okay, you've got a
six-year-old back Heck to yourknees.
You won't be able to do whatyou do anymore because this,
(01:12:28):
this.
So you need to change yourcareer, change your sport.
I even even to the extreme thatI stopped going hunting.
So my really good friend, chrisin Darwin, that he have my gun
on his gun safe, he go toappoint Hector, do you want me
to sell your rifle or what?
Because you just they onlytaking room in my gun safe.
And I'm like brother, it is onmy heart, but at the moment I'm
(01:12:49):
not able to walk for more than20 minutes.
Ridiculous amount ofchiropractic physio, every
single pediatrician.
That makes me waste a humongousamount of time, energy and
money.
I don't care about money, I canmake money back, but the time
that I waste was terrible.
So we worked with the physiothat worked with the Wallabies.
(01:13:10):
We saw some amazing level ofexperts.
The only answer we ever got tohelp us operation drugs, more
pine killers, and I wasabsolutely against that.
At that time I was alreadyusing up to eight Voltaron
tablets a day just to get methrough the day to be able to
(01:13:32):
walk, so that, okay, that's shit.
What really hit hard.
I've always been a man offamily.
I love family.
I love my friends, extendedfamily.
So we were having our meetingwith the very best in Australia
for back seeing my wife's skin,and he was pretty brutal.
(01:13:57):
Forget about your career,forget about your sport.
You need to do this.
The only exercise you shouldever do again is swimming,
because all this arthritisda-da-da-da-da.
At that point she had a verybad sciatic nerve.
Many mornings she won't be ableto go to work and she could
hardly turn the car keys in thecar because how about the carpet
tunnel and all the issues?
Okay, we're pretty fucked.
(01:14:20):
And I asked so where we are inthe future about having family.
We're going to get married,we're going to have kids.
Well, guys, adopting will beyour best choice, or your wife
will have to be in bed for eightmonths out of the 10-month
pregnancy.
(01:14:40):
So that was the most bottom,bottom-rock moment I ever had in
my life and I've been through abit of shit, but that was like
wow, very grateful that I wasthere.
We had to support her, or sheprobably ended up jumping on
fucking adelaide river.
It was just terrible.
Still, we believe that I haveto be a better choice.
And then, through social media,my wife saw about a good friend
(01:15:06):
of us, a natural world championathlete, that his wife had been
chronically diagnosed not beable to have kids for over four
years and she got working withthis coach from America and now
she's putting all that in.
She has the most amazing babygirl and this and that, and it's
always hope.
My wife didn't hesitate.
(01:15:28):
The next time there was a coursewith that coach in Australia,
they were flying to Sydney.
It was a pretty seriousinvestment of money and after
that week, everything that Iknew about health, fitness and
well-being starting fromsupplements, caffeine and all
this bullshit that we believe isthe right way to do things I
(01:15:54):
realized that everything helpedto a degree, but there's so many
other important things.
So we went back home.
We went top to bottom with ourpantry.
Drastically, I had to stopgoing to the coffee shops that I
used to go, because they knewme that as soon as I sit down
(01:16:14):
they bring me my first doublelong black coffee.
So from seven coffees a day Iwent to zero.
So then I start hydrating mybody and everything that we have
spoke with the Celtic South.
The magnesium is how my bodystart healing.
The magnesium is how my bodystart healing.
So I didn't do any specific formy heels, my knees or my hips
(01:16:36):
or shoulders.
Speaker 2 (01:16:42):
Just my body, over
eight months, was back to full,
how it should be.
Speaker 1 (01:16:45):
Through diet
hydration.
Through knowledge, the rightknowledge, take away everything
that is killing us.
Yeah, carleen, we will.
Sometimes people there's aHector, you know working with
you.
It is a bit of an investment,you know, and I'm like, of
course you don't get nothinggreat cheap.
You can look into anything.
(01:17:08):
When you put a good, reallyamount of decades on my case
with getting the amount ofknowledge they have is why I can
actually make your money go along way, because in one hour
with me you can get out what youhaven't got in six months with
all these other practitioners,and thanks God, that was a
blessing in the sky.
Best thing happened in our lifethat we got into the Czech
(01:17:32):
practitioner.
Then, of course, kalina and Iwe become.
We study more.
I have done many more sessionswith them and I'm now a level
two Czech practitioner and wehave a nine, six and
one-year-old amazing daughters,healthy as heck, and the only
time we have take our kids tohospital or anything to do is
(01:17:52):
because one fall off the bed andcrack a head or got stuck a
stick on their face and that'sit.
Speaker 2 (01:17:59):
So so from being told
so, from being both of you
being in horrible situationswhere couldn't have a family,
careers were not good to nowrunning an incredible business,
three beautiful, healthy kids,yeah and uh, yeah, the world's
on fire yeah, it is as I lovethat I'm living the dream I love
(01:18:20):
.
Speaker 1 (01:18:20):
The world is on fire
and at any point time, with
anybody.
Look at what I do, because Itruly live and embrace what I do
for a living.
The moment I'm no longerexcited about health and
well-being.
I will do something else andI'm pretty confident I will do
well because I put my mind to itand I'm not afraid of hard work
.
But it is the commitment, as wespoke just before.
Speaker 2 (01:18:44):
Sorry, mate, to cut
you off, but your knowledge is
incredible.
Speaker 1 (01:18:48):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (01:18:49):
I've already
introduced you to a couple of
people I know One of them you'vealready been hunting with.
For me, that's been like thevalue.
It's not just about what you'refinding about me, like how I
work, what my day, what myroutines like, what I've got
going on at work, what's my like, what stresses me out like, and
(01:19:12):
then you're helping guide me umwith every part of my life like
, and that that's ultimately.
That's what I think, like noone else has ever done, that
like you go to someone to getfit, they give you exercise to
do and tell you what weights tolift.
Speaker 1 (01:19:29):
He's.
So that's a critical topic thatI always People ask me.
Hector, you've been in thebusiness for 16 years Like I no
longer remember that you used tobe a security guard or an
electrician and I did it.
I did it to my best and I loveit and I could go back to do the
job tomorrow if I have to,because I live on good terms.
(01:19:50):
The thing is, if you're notwilling to commit to be your
very best 100%, you have to behappy with either 80% or 60% and
it's still 100% better thanbeing on any type of medication
or any type of practitioner thathave to put your back right
every fortnight or give you theextra massage or cupping.
(01:20:12):
I'm not talking shit about them, because when I got my appendix
done, the doctor saved my lifeGreat.
But I won't go to the doctor ifmy manhood is pointing to the
ground.
I'm not going to go if I gotchronic headaches on my back
because one doctor, when I giveyou painkillers, the other one
(01:20:33):
want to operate, the other onewant to send you to a physio, to
a chiropractor.
They're getting some commission.
I do work with over the yearswith many doctors and I work
with nurses and physios some ofmy best amazing clients that I
ever had.
Back in the NT they run aphysio clinic and they just got
(01:20:53):
their guts full of having peopleweek to week to week without
being able to proper help.
So they come to work with me sothey can help the clients and
then they realize it's no pointin manipulating people when they
got all the other principleswrong.
So I have been mentoring manyhealth coaches and the reason
(01:21:16):
why the investment of my timenormally is three to four times
more than a PT is because a PTis a three, four, six month
course that they teach you.
There's some really good update,but if they don't teach you to
fully understand your customer,it's stressful life.
That's what I'm askingsometimes.
(01:21:37):
Hector, you haven't even talkedabout my bench press.
I don't give a shit about yourbench press.
I'm more worried about howyou're dealing with your
teenager daughter going throughpuberty.
How many extra hours of sleepon the weekend have you been
taking her out to go walk, totalk about personal things,
because a lot of the things thatwe need to improve they can't
(01:21:58):
be in our home.
We need to change the scenery,get some fresh air.
Speaker 2 (01:22:04):
Yeah, that's what's
been really big, like you've
made it.
I think the reason I've reallykicked girls with it.
You've made it, I think thereason I've really kicking girls
with it.
You made it very simple to do.
Like all the food we're havingis.
There's nothing flash about it.
It's not hard to get.
Speaker 1 (01:22:18):
But it's enjoyable.
Speaker 2 (01:22:19):
It's enjoyable.
Speaker 1 (01:22:20):
It's nice?
Speaker 2 (01:22:20):
Yeah, it's nice, it's
good, I'm feeling full, I'm
enjoying my food, but I like onething leads to another.
So, like when it's easy andit's doable and it's not costing
the world, then like.
So I'm like I'm looking at mycalendar the night before and
seeing what I've got on.
If I'm not going to be home,I'm.
(01:22:42):
I'm packing my snacks and mywater and preparing for the next
day, and so when I get home thenext day after having a busy
day, I'm not feeling like shit.
I'm still feeling good becauseI've eaten the food I was
supposed to eat and I've drankthe water and it just for me.
It's a like I talk about allthe time, like I get very
addicted to this stuff.
Now, like now I'm addicted tothis.
(01:23:03):
I'm going to keep going on itbecause I fucking want to do
these hunting trips with you.
Speaker 1 (01:23:07):
I want to.
Speaker 2 (01:23:08):
I want to.
I want to go out in the bushand live off the land and cook
on the fire and sleep under thestars, and you're not going to
have to carry me back Never.
Speaker 1 (01:23:17):
So the thing is, as
you mentioned that clearly it is
as serious I am with myprofession the same as anybody
out there looking at seriousabout doing good with the
business.
You have to have data.
If you don't see the scoreboardand you don't see the numbers,
(01:23:38):
you won't know who is winning,who is losing Early stages.
I make it very clear I'mlooking at long-term gains and
as soon as you learn everythingand you kick all your goals and
you don't really have any otherset of specific goals that need
me, I'll be more than happy tomove away to help somebody else
(01:24:01):
and then you know exactly how tofix what you have done wrong
and maintain that.
So it is not a walking stickforever.
I'm giving you the knowledge,the tools and sometime, yeah,
we're going to spend a wholehour on programming.
Sometime, like we're going todo, we're going to harvest a
whole beef.
So we're not going to waste theorgans, we're not going to
(01:24:22):
waste the liver.
We're going to use the bonesfor bone broth, blood test done,
full body composition test.
That is the real bottom linethat I explain people.
Just like a business or a bigdig, you got a $2 million top
line, but at a $2 million topline a quarter.
(01:24:44):
If you're only taking a .5 netnet net man, you're doing a lot
of paperwork, a lot of pushingshit uphill.
Net net, net man.
You're doing a lot of paperwork, a lot of pushing shit uphill
for a fuck-all net.
I'll be happy to keep my topline at 200 grand a quarter but
keep a 70% net.
That it is exciting that it isso.
When you get your blood testdone over the first month, I
(01:25:06):
make sure my customer have to becool with that.
Yeah, blood pressure,cholesterol, cholesterol, all
the normal shit.
What I need to know, yourinsulin response I could easily
tell you everything that you aredoing, not helping you without
about talking to you, justlooking at your insulin response
(01:25:27):
, testosterone level, estrogenlevels, cortisol levels that's
stress.
So if you drop five kilos butover that month you hate life,
you hate the training, you hateyour food, your misery, how bad
is what?
Month two, you're going to puton eight fucking kilos.
(01:25:47):
So it has to be how we're goinginternally and externally.
Body composition test is aproper x-ray that will tell you
exactly your bone density Leftright, left right, how much
muscle, how much body fat,visceral body fat.
Everybody worry about thestrokes about a heart attack.
(01:26:08):
How about guess what?
You drop your visceral fat.
You're taking down 80% of thestress of having an issue, so
being scared about the issuewithout taking action is just a
waste of oxygen.
Speaker 2 (01:26:27):
I know everyone
listening to this podcast is
going to be getting enormousvalue out of it.
The way you explain things,your quotes, you make it fun.
It's enjoyable for me anyway.
I just keep wanting more andmore.
I want to know the next level,the next level, but obviously
getting the results I'm gettingas well, but I'm I have been a
(01:26:50):
slack student because I haven'tgot my blood test yet.
I've uh, I went and got myreferrals this week, so we'll
get that done.
But what?
What else?
Like?
Obviously, people can come andwork with you.
We'll.
We'll put links and um, allyour data and everything, or
details, but what's the uh?
You do these experiences aswell.
I want to talk about thembecause that this is why I
reached out to you.
Speaker 1 (01:27:10):
So every, every
single person that come along
with me.
They need to be very clear ofwhat's the major goals they want
to achieve with me and to seeover the first couple of weeks
if we are a good match.
Simple now if you choose todrive to your property in
Vandenberg at 50 k's an hour,it's going to take you the best
(01:27:35):
of eight hours to get there.
You will get to see the scenery, see the view like you never
have done before.
Great, but it took you eighthours.
Now, if you are a bit time poorand you want to keep the 110
speed limit to the max all theway there, you do it in three
hours.
Two and a half hours, okay,without getting speeding fines.
So I very much respect yourspeed of how quick you want to
(01:27:59):
take your journey, specificallywhen you come to me.
Already you have a busy, busyschedule up to here.
So if we push too much, tooearly early, it's going to
become another job and thesehave to be fun, have to be
enjoyable.
If you don't like turkey, fuckthe turkey, but don't talk about
(01:28:20):
turkey.
We're not going to eat turkeyif your goal is never to do a 21
and push-ups.
If that's not your goal.
I't talk about it, I won'twaste energy on that.
So I'm just taking you the bestefficient way to the goal, the
destination you want.
And then, when we already getyour energy levels to great, now
(01:28:42):
, if your energy is good andyou're not leaving off coffee,
stimulant, pre-workout fatburners, of all that shit, your
body is telling you the truth.
You have energy, not stimulants.
Energy is Hector.
I'm going to run to throw aspear to that deer.
That is energy Hector.
(01:29:04):
I run because the deer want tostab me in the ass and kill me.
That's a stimulant.
Stimulants they are only goodfor a short amount of time, but
they will burn you because thatdeer is chasing you and you
don't have shoes.
If it is broken glass, youdon't stop.
You keep running because you'redesperate to die.
So when you stop you're goingto be in a bad way, but you will
(01:29:29):
be alive.
If I want to go and hunt a deerand I find out I have to go
through a river that may bedrowning me, I'm not going to
get it.
I say you're a good deer, but Idon't care, my life is more
important.
So your decision-making will bebetter.
The moment you have achievedall of that then we always go
into.
I used to ride horses, Hector.
(01:29:52):
I used to love it, but Ihaven't been able to lift my leg
up and every time I got in thehorse after my hip replacement
it hurt me for three days.
So I just give up.
Okay, let's fix this, this,this.
Then we talk about horses.
Six months later, hector, I justbought another two horses.
(01:30:14):
I'm loving it.
I'm doing great amount of horseriding.
I'm happy.
I enjoy my time with my kidshorse riding.
Great.
I always want to do the highcountry in Victoria so you can
ride horses.
Now you're no longer a cripplefucking.
Go for it, yeah, but Hector, up.
(01:30:35):
Hi isn't now on my own.
Plus, you know all the cooking,this and that is.
I'm not too confident.
All right, give me a week, makefair few phone calls, all right
.
So successfully, we alreadyhave done three trips to the
high country, victoria.
Amazing, yes, a bit of deerhunting, and at the farm where
we start we can get a lambchicken, all the stuff.
(01:30:56):
So it is all a part of theexperience to be able to go up
there, push yourself up in themountains on foot or on horse.
Well, we harvest our food thatwe're going to eat over that
dice.
You don't have to be there withthe knife and stabbing the
animal or skinning it.
I will only get you engaged onwhat you enjoy to do.
And if you wanted to step backa little bit, that's perfectly
(01:31:18):
fine.
I've been doing four years backto back, taking customers,
friends, all the way to theoutback in Darwin to Humango's
Million Acre Station and then wecan go from heli fishing to
heli hunting and yes, what wehunt we keep.
So we bring normally five, 700kilos of meat back to Darwin
(01:31:41):
every time.
So everybody have to take asecond suitcase to bring all
frozen meat back home.
Speaker 2 (01:31:49):
Oh man, I can't wait.
Like I said, that's why Ireached out to you originally,
because I wanted to go and getit, but then you proved to me
that I wasn't ready to go andget it.
Speaker 1 (01:31:58):
But the thing is, as
I'm saying before, you got an
amazing event in six weeks thatwe're very excited working for.
It's gonna be amazing and Idon't wanna take your two dice
away where you don't really havethat time to do it.
So that will put too muchpressure in the mix.
And, as we and as well, we gotsome big tuna fishing in new
(01:32:19):
zealand.
I've been multiple times to thecanterbury country, mackenzie
in cratchers, new zealand, forred deer ta shemi.
So it's not just about goinghunting.
You can just come up foractually the walk for the
experience, as I have takencustomers to do the Kokoda track
.
That was a fucking experienceto me.
That's for another podcast.
(01:32:39):
We do that one, as we're workingon you guys doing it next year.
Speaker 2 (01:32:45):
Yeah, I want to go
back to your home country mate I
want to go and do your hometownexperience.
Speaker 1 (01:32:55):
So if you
successfully enjoy very much
what we do and you're excitedand you have done a few of the
experiences in here, then youqualify to organise a time for
us to go between January,february, march to the Patagonia
of South America, chile where Igrew up, to my home country
(01:33:15):
town, and over there we got onceagain, it's a lot of amazing
things that we have here thatare very similar there, but what
we got there is the wholecultural experience.
And then people understand oh,now I understand why you're so
fucking happy, because peoplehere they're happy with simple
things.
They're not to worry aboutgetting the next Rollers or
(01:33:35):
getting the next apartment orwho got the biggest boat.
It is actually, if you got foodand your family is happy, what
the fuck you're whinging aboutit.
Enjoy it.
So in South America we got flyfishing, water rafting, hiking
up in the mountains on horsebackis what can be by foot and
everything to do with thepioneer experience as we work
(01:33:57):
really hard with our differentcareers, professions, having
time to quiet down, to do ahobby, as I encourage people to
do the grounding, to play aninstrument or anything that just
make you relax, as my case.
It is leather work with rawheart.
It's a great investment on timeto slow you down.
(01:34:18):
So it's a lot of evidence proofthat's being used all over
Europe, especially in the Alpsin France and Italy, that
they're very busy CEOs tode-stress because they melt down
on the whole life and theybasically teach you how to shear
a lamb, get the wool and thendo some wool netting.
(01:34:39):
I done that.
I learned that amazing, butit's a lot of time consuming.
So I found with raw leather youcan walk out with your own belt
in two hour sessions over twodifferent days, and then, of
course, if you want to makeplotting and make it more funky,
but you're able to learnsomething and then allocate two
(01:35:01):
half an hour a week to just workon that and when you see the
final product just like ourgardening that it is immediate
improvement and we get a verygood satisfaction for it,
because everything we look afterour health, business, family is
always a long term.
So if you want that instantgratification, you'll be always
(01:35:24):
looking for the next high, thenext stimulant, but it's not
sustainable.
So with my commitment, patientis a key word on it yeah, I mean
I love it, I absolutely love it.
Speaker 2 (01:35:36):
What are three simple
things that everybody listening
can do to improve their lives?
Speaker 1 (01:35:43):
all right.
So just to make it very clear,we're not talking here about
elite athletes or any type ofextremely high performance of
sports.
I'm talking about life.
I'm talking about being a fullpotential, of where you can be
as a mom, as a dad, as a father.
So all your aspects of life.
They are clear.
If we don't embrace and lookafter ourselves right, we're
(01:36:06):
only going to get disappointedover and over that we're not
getting what we're expecting.
So the first thing this is veryeasy and simple, but it takes
commitment.
On your phone, allocate fiveminutes every day, get a journal
, get a don't be a tired ass,get a fucking 40 book so you
will not lose it.
(01:36:27):
So it's a proper, purely onlyfor what you're going to do, and
take yourself a good 20 minutesonce only and write down what.
At this point it isuncomfortable.
I don't talk about problems, Ionly talk about challenges.
I am 15 kilos overweight.
My clothes don't fit me.
I'm really strong with myconstipation.
(01:36:49):
Okay, write all that down.
So that is the goals thatyou're looking at.
Then, for free, if you're 80kilos body weight not talking
about body fat, just 80 kilosyou need to allocate at least
2.5 liters of water water inyour body.
If you're 100, kilos, 4.
(01:37:11):
If you're 120, four and a halfliters.
Don't do it overnight, steady,steady.
I will strongly recommend, ifyou're not eating 100 organic,
to put some celtic salt in yourwater.
So that's the second point.
First one, put things on paper,record it where you are now and
(01:37:32):
what you're going to commit todo so.
Get you water levels up with abit of salt in it, just enough
to taste it.
So your body will get betterminerals to help all your
hormonal everything.
And the third one, the verylast, it is allocate 20 minutes,
and 20 minutes a day to do whatIn your journal.
(01:37:56):
Take yourself three minutes.
I drank my water yesterday.
My food that I'm going to eatas best is something of one or
two ingredients.
What I'm talking about Chickenand a potato Steak and tomato
Eggs and a coffee, just simplethings.
(01:38:18):
Because if you keep grabbingthings from the takeout shop, if
you do get that early in theday, but not before night,
because that will stress yoursleep.
So, being clear about yourgoals, increase your water
intake with the minerals in it.
If you're taking some type ofmagnesium, fantastic.
And then being very aware thatnothing right happens fast.
(01:38:44):
So when you're keeping a recordon your diary about your water,
then over the first 14 days,you will notice a bit more
energy, sleeping better and, aswe talked before about your
bowel movements.
As that is moving along well, a20-minute walk out of the house
, turn your phone off, listen tosomething positive, get some
(01:39:07):
vitamin D guys.
It's for free.
Oh, but, hector, it's too hard,it's semi-tropical, it's
raining.
Hey, you're not made of sugarcupcake, you'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (01:39:19):
No, that's awesome,
mate.
So, yeah, that's simple thingsthat anybody listening to this
will be able to do.
Speaker 1 (01:39:25):
Except the book and
the Celtic salt is all for free.
Speaker 2 (01:39:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:39:30):
I am not here to.
I don't have any type of brandof supplements.
I should have my own jerky, butnow I'm more enjoying what I do
and hydration, the rightminerals.
Make yourself that time foryourself Countable.
And then two, three weeks later, all right, this is good.
I would like to touch base withyou, hector.
(01:39:52):
I always can.
At any point in time, I canorganize a 10, 15-minute phone
call to clear up anybody'sconcern.
And, of course, when you see me, guys, on the 30th of May at
the epic event with Dwayne, youwill see me wearing my true blue
T-shirt.
Be quite hard to confuse myself,so throw me all your questions
(01:40:14):
say hello, always happy to helpawesome mate.
Speaker 2 (01:40:18):
So, uh, look, we'll
wrap it up, because we could
keep talking all day and uh,look, I think we'll definitely
get you back for another one.
I'm I'm obviously putting itout there and talking about it,
so we'll, um, we'll see how myjourney continues and where I
end up and we'll see the proofin the pudding.
But, um, mate, appreciate yourtime today coming down and
sitting with us and, um, we'llput um show notes and stuff on
(01:40:40):
the podcast so people can findyou but for everyone listening.
Like.
You're not huge on social media, so we need to get that ramped
up a bit correct, correct.
Speaker 1 (01:40:49):
As I got my pa and
I'm a basically one-man team, I
already have the full set ofhealth club and all that I've in
the territory.
I've been living on the sanicofor three and a half years and
90, 95 of my client base is allover the country.
So with all my experiences andall the events, I do travel a
fair bit.
(01:41:09):
I do a fair bit of seminarsbecause sometimes people they
want to see like a face-to-facetype of thing to get some more
foundation before they do thecommitment.
I will never get anybody on athree, six months commitment
because if you're happy with theoutcome, you're happy with the
results.
Let's keep going with thejourney.
If that means six months or sixyears, it's up to you.
(01:41:32):
And if you take in action andyou haven't seen a great outcome
in the first eight weeks, it'sa hundred percent money
guarantee well, uh, you'recoming to my event, mate, so
people are gonna get to catch upwith you there.
Speaker 2 (01:41:45):
We're gonna.
We got a little bit of a Idon't even know what it is yet
hector's working on some littlesurprise thing that he's going
to do for us.
But, mate, for anyone that'scoming to my event, make sure,
while you're there, you go andcheck Hector out, have a chat to
him, because he will changeyour life.
I can pretty much guarantee youthat if you put in the effort.
