The Fountain of Youth and the billionaires who still try to find it today
Added 2024-07-04 21:00:04 +0000 UTCYou guys seemed to want this episode from the last poll, and it got GRITTY doing the research for this. Things we talk about in this episode: Peter Nygard (billionaire...pedophile...in jail currently) who was obsessed with using stem cells to stay young, Bryan Johnson (billionaire...just odd) who is spending his fortune to "reverse aging" other clinical studies being done on longevity, and of course, the legend of the Fountain of Youth.
And if anyone wants to join me in starting a July habit/experiment - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ol4KmkfU6ULQl25W4NJ9j9ht_O0oOtCmb_UL2uH33_s/edit?usp=sharing

13:00 The Legend of the Fountain of Youth
24:54 Peter Nygard (TW: he's evil and there's SA)
42:52 Google is getting into the longevity game
48:12 Old plasma vs. young plasma

Bryan Johnson's daily schedule: https://www.routines.club/routine/bryan-johnson-daily-routine
This is the INSANE video of Peter Nygard with women at dinner, talking about wanting to buy their eggs and such. The phrasing of the tweet and replies are all "elites" this and "elites" that and abortion conspiracies, but if you wanted proof of how insane/evil this guy is: https://mobile.x.com/FreyjaTarte/status/1744787146236473669

There was a Law and Order: SVU episode about a doctor who impregnated a coma patient to get the stem cells from her abortion to help an Alzheimer’s patient. It was from. It was S4 Ep 8 titles Waste so this theory has been around for quite a while.

2024-08-25 12:06:19 +0000 UTCI never quit with hunter s Thompson but love the fear and loathing reference - you should read his Pulitzer divorce article all about palm beach being easy to bribe and get away with anything like Nygars Bahamas situation. Still prevalent 40 years later with trump and Epstein! It’s a good read

2024-07-13 20:59:20 +0000 UTCI would looove to hear your thoughts on bio hacking I seem to see everyone talk about it but how much of it is just routed in conspiracy or speculation?

2024-07-10 15:48:53 +0000 UTChi shannon! in case you see this - rethinking wellness (hosted by a dietician) has a great episode debunking the protein myth - TLDR - most People do not need nearly as much as is hyped. eating balanced meals with all your macros (fat carbs protein fiber) is great tho - hunger crushing combos to satiate and provide balanced energy. abbey sharpe is also a great dietician on youtube and tiktok who gives awesome tips about how to stay full and eat well.

2024-07-09 21:25:51 +0000 UTCGlazed over the fact that your family saved placenta too 🤣 whose freezer?
Chloe
2024-07-09 21:10:32 +0000 UTCThank you! Vibrio sepsis has such high fatality rates. And people have to have limbs amputated to stop the spread before it gets to the bloodstream. So scary

2024-07-09 03:01:58 +0000 UTCI’ve had jra since I was a child , idk why this episode made me kinda sad 😔

2024-07-09 03:00:29 +0000 UTCliterally just talking to someone on twitter about vibrio. A doc on twitter said that he had treated a man with vibrio who got sepsis and died. Nothing to mess around with and good post.

2024-07-08 20:44:32 +0000 UTCFull disclosure I also stopped drinking in November of last year. But it’s the first time I live actually lost weight and kept it off as an adult. I didn’t drop a ton of weight from drinking, at least not right away. I aim for 100g+ a day and usually end up between 100-150. I snack soooo much less when I get 30-40g at breakfast and just in general. I feel leaner and less bloated but just so much more satisfied and I don’t think about snacking as much. I think by default I’m getting more fiber too because I’m pairing with veggies so I’m more regular

2024-07-08 18:32:43 +0000 UTCIn regards to little experimental changes- I’ve been reading on my lunch break at work instead of cruising my phone and it’s made SUCH a difference in my attitude second half of the day.

2024-07-08 00:30:16 +0000 UTCI used to “donate” (sell, but legally I don’t think they can call it that lol) my plasma in college once a week or so for a several month period. I stopped going because I’d sometimes get rejected due to my protein/hemoglobin(?) levels being too low (I was 20 and vegetarian at the time so makes sense), but when I was able to do it they’d give you an ATM card and load ~$50 on it each time u donated. Whole thing would take maybe like 2 hrs including the health screen/wait time and you could do it up to twice a week I believe, a pretty decent gig for a little extra cash!

2024-07-07 21:25:02 +0000 UTCAll for more protein! I worked with a practitioner to heal different things and we worked heavily on my diet. Try to get 30+ grams each meal. I’ll mix protein powder in yogurt or add cottage cheese to eggs to up the protein count. I’ll add a side of turkey sausage to literally anything. There’s also a lot of really good recipes for ground turkey/ground beef. I also try to do protein snacks like Chomps sticks. Adding more protein helps balance your blood sugar, makes you feel full longer and allows you to build muscle.

2024-07-07 16:22:55 +0000 UTCAre you talking about Finch?
Erin
2024-07-07 12:46:47 +0000 UTCOkay also!!! Having seen some of the insanity the skincare girlies do the weirdest thing I’ve seen this year is people getting salmon sperm injections 😭
RJ
2024-07-07 10:50:04 +0000 UTCI haven’t been doing high protein as much as trying to force myself to eat more veggies which is hard, but I do notice I feel totally different when I start my day with veggies and protein and a carb instead of something super sugary or just carbs. I wish it was easier though oml
RJ
2024-07-07 10:48:06 +0000 UTCI only really wear underwear when I’m working out or going out and beyond that I’m also very pro sleeping nude lol. It’s nice to feel free from all the clothes and things digging in even if they fit well
RJ
2024-07-07 10:16:14 +0000 UTCShannon thank you for mentioning ur self care pet! I just got one and I already love it. Lmk if u want me to add ur code so I can send some rainbow stones ur way lol

2024-07-07 01:44:33 +0000 UTCFinch! My friend told me about it and I’m liking it a lot so far!

2024-07-06 21:17:47 +0000 UTCDunno if I can get on board with the no underwear though hahaha
peerie
2024-07-06 20:26:01 +0000 UTCAlso been trying to up my protein intake! I’ve only been doing it for like 5 days and I’ve already noticed positive changes. I’m more satisfied throughout the day and my BED is nonexistent (bc I’m actually full and literally cannot). I hate cottage cheese but it’s very easy to hide and Greek yogurt too! It also doesn’t feel restrictive at all which is so helpful
peerie
2024-07-06 20:25:45 +0000 UTCI did no underwear for years because it was just more comfortable (still is most of the time). Never had any issues. I didn’t wear it starting in middle school lol. It’s bc i did dance , and underwear + tights made you look like you had a diaper on so i just fully stopped wearing it then 😭

2024-07-06 19:30:15 +0000 UTCWhat’s the self care pet that you mentioned you check in the morning? Is that an app?
Kooky Creative
2024-07-06 15:28:47 +0000 UTCI’ve actually been doing the no underwear thing for a few weeks already and I’m noticing positive differences!

2024-07-06 15:20:11 +0000 UTCOn Andrew humberman, this podcast called decoding the gurus does a good episode on him, not about the scandal with the women but about how he misrepresents the studies in his videos and although he links papers, most people won't read them and if they do may not be educated enough to understand them properly. He himself talks about things that he's not really qualified to talk about.
Erin
2024-07-06 15:11:16 +0000 UTCDiscovered this bc I’m pregnant and had wicked nausea first trimester- dr recommended upping my protein intake and this was the only way I could tolerate it. Meat disgusted me lol
Madeline McGrath
2024-07-06 14:36:28 +0000 UTCre protein- I add Greek yogurt to literally everything- any sauce, dressing, sandwich. I mean everything. If I can hide it it’s in there. I don’t even like the taste of Greek yogurt really so the goal is to conceal conceal conceal lol. Currently eating grits for breakfast with a little butter cheese hot sauce and a quarter cup of Greek yog. Can’t taste it
Madeline McGrath
2024-07-06 14:33:53 +0000 UTCI would love to get a mini episode about John Summit and Ashtin Earle’s relationship
Peyton Freeman
2024-07-06 07:53:00 +0000 UTCoff topic, but i loved your recent podcast episode with Christy of X Knows All! it's always so great when the two of you record together.by the way, i hope you still do an episode on celebrity typecasting or something in the future :)
Court
2024-07-06 05:43:16 +0000 UTCI agree!!! I feel like they fly by I would love more Shannon lol
Andrea Garcia
2024-07-06 03:01:28 +0000 UTCWhat differences have you noticed? How much protein are you intaking? I’m so interested !
Andrea Garcia
2024-07-06 03:00:59 +0000 UTCIs it bad that the idea of living for a longer period of time sounds terrible? Maybe I'm just depressed but please don't keep me on this earth longer than necessary.

2024-07-05 20:38:27 +0000 UTCliterally the protein thing could be life changing for me pls i need it
Nataley N.
2024-07-05 17:13:10 +0000 UTCI’ve been doing high protein since March and I hate to report that that tiktok girlies are correct, it’s life changing
Courtney
2024-07-05 12:14:51 +0000 UTCYesss protein goal!! My hack is adding egg whites to everything I make, especially rice! I buy them in a little carton. Btw the underwear trick worked for me lol
Christine Porter
2024-07-05 11:49:36 +0000 UTCLoved this! You should do longer episodes 🫶

2024-07-05 11:46:17 +0000 UTCI wonder if what people were referring to as magical waters was actually just clean water or natural springs with minerals. Maybe the people who looked young for their age were just hydrated lol. I guess I'll be the annoying academic here 😂 but please don't go in the ocean with a cut, especially in the summertime. You could get infected with a flesh eating bacteria called vibrio. 🫶🏻 Also, fecal transplants are literally transplanting someone's poop into someone else's colon or putting it in capsules and taking it orally. If you haven't watched the gut health documentary on Netflix, you should. One girl was using her brother's feces and got acne bc he had acne so she started using her partners poop, but then she got depressed bc he was depressed. Wild stuff. I get icked out by spit so easily since I became a clinical microbiologist. I've been watching love island and seeing all of them kiss each other grosses me out. *Oprah voice* "you get herpes and you get herpes!" Lmao. Sorry this was so stupid long 😅

2024-07-05 10:27:45 +0000 UTCAlso I’m 24 and I do not know the consequences of taking menopause supplements lol
Skylar Little
2024-07-05 05:15:19 +0000 UTCAwesome word doc idea! Adjacent TMI thing that just happened to me- my period was super delayed (3 weeks) and confirmed not pregnant. Just terrible pms and period wouldn’t start. I got mango ginger tea and boiled it with parsley. And I took these two pills called Winged Wellness Hot Momma Perimenopausal and Menopausal Relief which is just a bunch of supplements alongside some garlic, spearmint, and iron pills. I went to bed with a heat pad and things were fixed that night.
Skylar Little
2024-07-05 05:14:47 +0000 UTClove the word doc idea shannon :)
