What's up? I've got a brand new segment for you guys. It's going to weekly segment called The Mail Bag. What I want to do is take three or four really good questions that you guys submit through YouTube or Facebook or MySpace or through the undergroundwellness.com form, and I am going to bring them on here and I am going to answer them live for you guys on video. So if you have any questions, be sure to submit them. Also give me approval to use your name if that's cool or if it's not cool.
First one, just a quick question. If you convince the vegetarian to eat bacon with their diet, would that be a big help or not? Well, first and foremost, I am not trying to convert vegetarians at all, here that's not my thing. However, if I was trying to convert someone, pork bacon will be the last thing that I would ever convince them or try to recommend to them. And the reason why is because, I take a class at The Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation, it's taught by a very smart, well-researched, well-connected man and he's told us the story several times about four different researchers around the world, don't even know each other, who analyze blood using something called Dark Field Microscopy and they find that, when they have someone or they feed someone pork and then they look at their blood, their blood starts to look like the blood of a cancer patient.
So that's just more than a coincidence for me, and that's more than enough to convince me that may be I shouldn't be eating pork, may be we shouldn't be eating pork. So that's why I avoid it every once in a long while, I might have a piece of bacon, but it's definitely not something that I recommend my enemies, okay.
Next up, this came from the forum. What do you guys think of Sean's new video? He's talking about the Stress Making You FAT Video. I liked it, though I believe it's going to need a part two, it definitely needs a part two, it definitely needs a part three. It's not one of those things that you can fit into a ten-minute video. I am not sure about the use of steroids even though they are not steroids like body builders use like Windstrall or Diana Ball, I would never use steroids. That's the reason it took me so long to put that video up. I didn't want people to get the wrong idea about what natural, bio-identical hormone, precursor replacement is. First, it's not something that you want to mess around with, you do not want to play with your hormonal system and do not want people taking that information and saying, oh, Sean says okay for me to go buy some DHEA and me to start rubbing for progesterone cream for myself, that was not the point, alright. It was to inform you about adrenal fatigue, what it is, it is totally overlooked, it's a lot of people's problem, but you have to get tested, and you get tested and your practitioner will look at that and make a protocol for you based on your results. You can talk to the greatest endocrinologist in the world and they will all tell you that we know this much about the hormonal system. So how much you think you know? Do not mess with your hormonal system. Make sure you contact someone like me and I will help you out and give you more information about that, alright. Good, that was a good comment. I knew something like that was going to come up.
Next one. Thanks for the Protein Shake video. I never thought to look at the ingredients before, I was shocked. Do you have any other suggestions on protein shakes besides the one that you mentioned? Yup, you guys know I love the Jay Robb shakes. Those are awesome shakes. Jarrow makes the shake, that Jarrow's. They make shakes that are great. I don't why they don't market them better like in body-building magazines because it would be one of the best ones you can take. They have an unflavored one and so you can have that, you can flavor it with your own sweet leaf stevia droppers, that's a great flavor right there. You can get the chocolate, the butter top, you can just make your own flavor.
They have two other flavors, they are probably chocolate and strawberry, but they are sweetened with fructose. They are decent shakes, decent powders, but I am not a big fan of processed fructose as you know because it can cause heart disease as well as insulin resistance. Those are two things that you definitely don't want to have. So Jarrow, try Jarrow out, unsweetens.
Next question, I bought The Garden of Life organic coconut oil and it wasn't expensive. I use it on my face and it makes a huge difference, which it does. You don't want to put anything on your skin that you wouldn't put in your mouth, always remember that. So as you can absorb things transdermally, coconut oil is great to use as a moisturizer, just use a little bit though.
My question is, how much coconut oil should I be taking orally? That's a really good question. Some people have some negative effects with coconut oil when they first start using it. Now we've got to remember that coconut oil is anti-fungal, antimicrobial and antibacterial. So if you've got a lot of bad bacteria in your gut as a lot of people do, you're going to get something called Die-Off. You're going to start killing those bad bacteria and you might get the bubble guts and you might get diarrhea or some other issues and you're going to say, oh my god, that coconut oil is not for me. No, it wasn't the coconut oil. It was you and the fact that you are not taking care of your gut, eating so many processed foods and so on and so forth, and so start small, start with a teaspoon and then eventually start to have a little more and a little more.
Now if you have a thyroid issue, if you are on thyroid medication, centroid, armour thyroid, you start using coconut oil, don't forget, coconut oil increases the thyroid, it stimulates the thyroid, it stimulates your metabolism and so if you are on those medications, it may make you a little jittery, it might give you palpitations. So you're going to have to work and consult with your doctor to tweak your dosage if you start to use coconut oil, okay. Great, great oil, more people need to use it. People are afraid of it, they feel there is cholesterol in the coconut oil. Cholesterol is only made from animal products, alright. It's not bad for you in the first place, but coconut is not a animal, alright. It doesn't make any sense to me.
So that's it from The Mail Bag. We've got a good video coming up. Last weekend, I interviewed Todd Durkin who was one of the best trainers in the country trained LaDanian Tomlinson and Drew Brees and a lot of other guys that you see on NFL Sundays, and so he's coming on with good interview, we did a workout segment. He thrashed me in like 6 minutes. It was not cool at all, but you are going to learn some new movements doing the gym and yes, so we are looking out for that amount, it's Saturday and I am actually going to groove on tonight, I am out, peace!
