Exercising in a gym under blue light is abusive. If you want to be great: exercise outdoors, make like the Sphinx, eat like a great white shark, minimize nnEMF, take off your sunglasses, take out your contacts, get a real tan Dr. Jack Kruse: "When you hear me on other podcasts, I say, 'Going to a gym and working out with a trainer under blue light is equivalent to kicking the shit out of your kid in Walmart. It's absolutely child abuse.' But you know what the problem is? People don't look at it as child abuse because they don't know the fundamentals of what I'm trying to tell you guys right now. They don't understand why their thinking is not good. That's the reason why this information is really important. "In my opinion, I don't think elite athletes that are millionaires should have this information. I think a 17-year-old kid in Collierville, or a 16-year-old girl who's in a gymnastics class that works with Chris in Alabama, they should have access to this information, just like anybody else. […] I want you guys to get it right, because you guys are going to train the future Usain Bolts, you're going to train the future Tom Seavers, you're going to train the future Tom Bradys. "If you get these kids doing it right, like if you let these kids listen to this podcast, if they want to be great, they're going to make like the Sphinx, they're going to eat like a great white shark, they're not going to call their girlfriend on Instagram and do stupid TikToks all day, and they're not going to let her get a spray tan, that's for sure. They're going to take the sunglasses off, take the contacts out, and they're going to do it the right way, the way they should do it, the way nature built them."

If you're dating women who are spray tan on, never marry her. Same thing with the ladies: run away from guys who spray tan themselves and shred before they do a show Dr. Jack Kruse: "The other big effect [of grounding] that we haven't talked about, it's actually how you build your solar callus up better, because the better connection you have in the morning means that when you do go out in the sun that you're going to stimulate POMC everywhere else on your body, and when you stimulate POMC you create melanin. Melanin absorbs all frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. "So let's stop there for a minute. If you're athletes in high school really like Instagram a lot they need to be really, really tan the right way, not the spray tans their girlfriends do. In fact, any guy who listens to this, if you're dating women who are spray tan on, never marry her. Ever. Run away. Run away. And same thing with the ladies, the same thing with the ladies. The guys that you guys train who spray tan themselves and shred before they do a show, run away. No bueno. You want the guys who do it naturally, because guess what? Then they're going to be optimized. Their sex steroid hormones will be optimized. They're going to be better partners. Their leptin melanocortin pathway are going to be Sherpa-like, and that's what you want."

Mammals are the only animal on this planet that make blood glucose and insulin directly from sunlight. It's additive to what you eat. Big muscles in mammals that live under alien light don't last very long. Exercise outdoors because that is where POMC was evolutionarily built for Dr. Jack Kruse: "The funny thing is when you go to see the Sherpas, they don't have big muscles. In my world, the number one researcher in the world that studies super centenarians, those are people that live 100 years and older, these are all these little Jewish fat guys that live in New York City that have leptin levels that are over 20. They don't look like Michelangelo's Adonis, and there's a reason for that. And it turns out the reason for that actually is tied to this gene that we're talking about. The reason I want to come on and talk to you guys about it because I want you to realize, and you don't realize this because you're in a gym. My patients that live 80, 90, 100 years old, they don't look like Michelangelo's David. Humans are not designed to look like that. In fact, the ones that do usually die of heart disease 50, 60, 70 years old, and here's the funny part of the story. That is not said to kick you guys square in the balls. It's actually said to be a paradox so that you guys say, 'OK, let's hold that. Tell me why that's the case.' I'll explain it to you." John Nelson: "Absolutely. Let's go." Dr. Jack Kruse: "You guys believe that building up big muscles is how you take care of of glucose and insulin, and you're right. That's actually how it works. But here's the difference. We come from a clade of mammals called primates. Our nearest cousins bury their mitochondria in their muscles, those are the gorillas and the chimps. Gorillas and chimps have the strength that Sherpas have because they bury their mitochondrial density in muscles. Humans, the silly talking monkeys, bury it here [points at brain], and in their hearts. OK? And this is what we die from: we die from neurodegeneration, and we die from heart disease. "The interesting thing is the belief has come around. 'Hey, take a look at our cousins, maybe if we get these huge physiques that we have the same thing.' But here's the part of the story that you guys forgot. Mammals are the only animal on this planet that make blood glucose and insulin directly from sunlight. And guess what that means: it's irrespective of what you eat. In fact, it's additive to what you eat. "So when you get the idea that if I have big muscles, you think you can do it anywhere around. Well most people have big muscles do it in a gym, and what kind of light are they under? Blue light. Guess what blue light stimulates? Blood glucose and insulin. So I want you to think about this common sense. Remember the piece of paper that you showed me before about 'the dildo of unintended consequences often comes unlubed'? That is the that is the point that I'm trying to tell you. That explains the paradox why big muscles in mammals that live under alien light don't last very long. Now if I could get you guys to do everything that you do, but do it out here, do it like they did in Venice Beach, do it outside, I'm completely OK with that. I want you to be in the light that POMC was evolutionarily built for. We do that, we've solved for X, Uncle Jack is happy."

Cultivating spiritual awareness to reach level of the true self "The principal method of Centering Prayer really is to sit down. Now that isn't too hard for most people. […] "Sitting comfortably, and with eyes closed, we settle briefly, like I'm settling in this nice chair, breathing easily, and so on. […] "There are going to be various thoughts, feelings, sense perceptions, noise in the room, people coughing, memories, imaginations, visualizations, sort of dreaming. All of this psychological material, you might say, is going to be flowing down the stream of consciousness as you sit there. And we say that it's inevitable, integral, and normal. […] "It's important not to resist these thoughts. In other words, it's important to have a joyful attitude towards the thoughts, a friendly attitude towards the most dreadful thoughts. Not that you linger over them or act them out, but it's important that we expect them, and they're normal, and they're integral. So we receive them all with a smile, sort of an inward smile, so to speak. A jolly attitude is recommended. 'Here they go again,' that sort of thing. […] "And out of the developing peace or interior silence that is gradually being insinuated through the Holy Spirit, into the spiritual level of your being. […] "This practice is constantly cultivating your spiritual awareness, the spiritual level of your being, the spiritual level of the intellect, which is intuitive, and the spiritual level of the will, which is the will to God, the will to open to infinite truth, infinite love, infinite happiness. […] "We're kind of absorbed, or dominated, in our ordinary psychological life, by the objects of events and people, and our emotional reactions to them. The purpose then, of the Centering Prayer, is to move from this [ordinary awareness] level to this [spiritual] level. And indeed, not to stop there, because the human being has greater depths than that, but to move even deeper, to the level of the true self, which is our participation in the divine life, and the divine presence itself as the source of our being at every level. "And it's accessing or awakening our awareness to this presence that is the ultimate goal of contemplative prayer or Centering Prayer. But to reach it, we have to pass through the spiritual level, and to awaken the true self, and whatever of God's ultimate divine presence he may want to share with us, which is a whole new life, which is a transformed life."

How can people who are very sensitive to the sun tan? Survivors Soup to help build a solar callus and help protect against blue light exposure. Athletes are breaking down from blue light toxicity John Nelson: "You talk about getting tan. That brings inevitably the question of people that are very sensitive to the sun. How do you work around that?" Dr. Jack Kruse: "Hold on, dude. Do you know who you're talking to? Do you know who you're talking to? Take a good look [points at freckles on forehead]." John Nelson: "You look pretty tan from this video." Dr. Jack Kruse: "But look. You see the freckles? I'm a white dude who has an H haplotype. My people come from the 59th latitude. So what am I teaching you? Inside of you, remember I'm still a mammal, even though my people left the East African Rift, went up and lost all my melanin, sucked it inside. Look [points at freckles on forehead]. That's my African Heritage right there. All the other stuff is where I'm trying to stimulate POMC in. "You have the biophysical chemistry in you to build a solar callus. "I want to make sure you get this. If your wife takes you to Louis Vuitton store in Memphis and says, 'I really like these shoes but they hurt my feet,' and you are trying to be a good husband, you say, 'Baby, you can buy those, wear them five times in the house, and then they'll be fine.' You just told her you can break the shoes in. "What you guys need to realize we have the same process in our skin. There's something called urocanic acid that's made from an aromatic amino acid called histidine. The problem is you need to know how to use it. I have a Patreon blog called Survivors Soup. Survivors Soup adds tons of carotenes and polyphenols from seafood that will eventually go in your skin. Just so people understand, this works in us. […] You know that flamingos get pink only after they eat shrimp, right? […] That is true, and the same thing happens in you. "And just to show you how powerful this is, in your eye at the beginning of this retinal hypothalamic tract, you have something called the macula. Well, the full term that I learned in medical school is called macula lutea. What's the lutea stand for? Lutea is yellow in Latin. You know where that yellow pigment comes from? From the things that are in your diet. You know why it's yellow? It's a complementary color of blue. The body's telling you in central vision it wants no blue light. "So the reason I tell you this is each one of these kids that are all blue light toxic, because I promise you all of them are, you need to get them to add these things back to their diet so they can overcome all the stuff they did from when their parents were stupid, bought them an iPhone and an iPad as a digital babysitter, and basically gave Chris, at least six out of 18, that probably did that. That's a bad problem. And the thing is, this is the reason why these kids are breaking down, it's the reason why the NBA players are falling apart, it's the reason why even weekend warriors get the injuries they have."

Using deuterium-depleted water when you're an elite athlete is almost like PEDs. Saturated fats are best. Egg yolks are probably one of the best things you could ever eat. Processing foods adds deuterium. Avoid whey protein supplements as they are loaded with deuterium Dr. Jack Kruse: "If the elite athlete has enough money […] they use deuterium-depleted water while they recover. […] Using deuterium-depleted water when you're an elite athlete is almost like PEDs, except you can't get busted for water. […] One deuterium atom in water binds 96 other H+. Remember, your mitochondrial matrix is filled nothing but H+, so you can imagine if that one deuterium puts a lasso around 96, can you be as thermally efficient as an athlete? The answer is no. It's obvious. So you need to get rid of all the deuterium that you possibly can in your life. "So in terms of foods, […] saturated fats are the best, so animal products are the best. Next best is things with protein, but real protein, not shit that you guys push, supplements and in a box. I'm talking about from a cow, from an animal. Not processed. Why? Because that adds deuterium to it. And then eggs. Eggs are probably one of the best things you could ever eat, but you want the yolk not the white part. Throw the white part out. How did I figure this out? I MRI'ed my food, because I can see the deuterium shadow in the food. "I said, 'Wait a minute. This is starting to make sense to me. Since the inside of the mitochondria is filled with H+ I need to eat foods that just have H+.' […] "So the last thing […] I found out that one mole of carbohydrates produces 55% of the water that saturated fats does. […] "What is photosynthesis? […] Sunlight + CO₂ makes sugar. […] Mitochondrial respiration reverses that process. It takes sugar and turns it into CO₂ and water. The CO₂ you exhale, the water you need, because it turns out water is the electromagnetic capacitor that you really need. […] Your mitochondria makes only deuterium-depleted water. So when you begin to understand why your mitochondria is doing it, because remember, those H+ go through the ATPase to spin it if you have deuterium in there it's kind of like putting maple syrup in your F₀ head. You can't make ATP, you can't perform. […] [The deuterium is] double the size and it breaks the spinning head. So it ruins all the beautiful nanomachines that nature put inside us to work with sunlight. "When you get that broken engine, like the guys that you said have the problem with the stress fractures in their back and their tibia, this is the process that's going on. Why? Because they use whey protein, […] that the shit's loaded with deuterium. And if you want to know how you can prove this, I'm going to give you guys a biohack that you can do yourself. […] Take some of the bullshit that they sell, the keto snacks and the processed protein powders, and go through TSA with it. You know what you'll find out? They'll pull it out of your bag. Do you know why? Because the RF pulses that they send gets the deuterium shadow, and they'll want to check your bag."

Prehistoric humans used tools to extract ketogenic, low-deuterium bone marrow. Our natural metabolic state is ketosis. Eat grass-fed animal fats. We adopted agriculture and chronic diseases appeared on a mass scale Dr. László Boros: "Four million years ago, and this was a big finding for me, papers that published that actually the prehistoric man was able to open the skull of large plant-eating animals and start eating bone marrow fat. That's what humans were eating and consuming for themselves for millions of years. […] These prehistoric men were able to go in a ketogenic, deuterium-depleted diet which provides nutritional ketosis and metabolic ketosis with low deuterium. […] They were able to develop brain skills, fine motor movements, fine kind of hand speech. They were able to use their body in a low-deuterium environment in a more flexible, more expressive, and in a more complicated complex way, as far as memory, as far as communications, as far as social behaviors, and so on. And that was all dependent on low-fat, ketogenic diets that they were obtaining from large, plant-eating animals carcasses. "Now, the other advantage of this is that they didn't have to chase, they didn't have to hunt, they didn't have to be exposed to predatory animals by competing for these preys. They just waited until the predators left, and the scavengers left, and the bones were kind of cleaned up for them just to break through those bones using stone tools. That's what they found in this Ethiopian land where they found these 3.8 to 4 million years old bone structures of large plant-eating animals that were actually broken into using tools. "So if you look at for example a mammoth, or if you look at like large plant-eating animals, they have about 20 kg of bone marrow in any of those big bones. So those were actually very reliable, good untouched food sources; they just had to learn how to use tools to get to this ketogenic, low deuterium fat source. […] "So as our natural metabolic profile is ketosis, they could maintain ketosis during the day, low deuterium ketosis, this is what we should do, by the way, this is our natural metabolic state. […] "Agriculture came along about 10,000 years ago, and they started cultivating plants that are higher in deuterium. They formed larger communities and they started harvesting and eating plants, and that's where chronic diseases, and that's where diseases appeared in mass scales as we know. And this is when infectious diseases appeared also, because infectious diseases also depend on deuterium for the propagation of infectious agents. And changing dieting behaviors changed the disease landscape on mankind and societies, and we ended up where we are now. "Most people eat processed food, and if you look at the kind of the general health or the chronic disease epidemics taking place on this entire planet you can tell there is a huge devastating change, and practically it's because of the environmental exposure and also the food. The food industry does not measure deuterium, they don't really label the deuterium, and they don't really care about deuterium, meaning that practically you're left alone, you have to figure out yourself where to find low deuterium food source, and those are grass-fed animal fat, practically."

Maintain gut health by getting sunlight on your entire front. Sunlight on your gut makes molecular hydrogen. See the sunrise to set the circadian rhythm for your gut Kriben Govender: "Nathan, if there was one thing that our audience could do for their gut health, what would it be?" Nathan Walz: "Get some sun on your gut. […] "Infrared light, red light, penetrates up to 30 centimeters into your body. The bacteria in your gut, they actually do like that light, so it's very good for your bacteria. […] When you get sunlight on your gut that actually makes molecular hydrogen in your gut the natural way, the way you're supposed to make it. So you don't have to spend a lot of money on that supplement. You can just go outside and expose your gut to the sun. […] "So anytime you can get sunlight on your gut, and your gut goes from your mouth all the way to your butt, so you want to get that sunlight on your entire front. But that's one of the best things you can do to really maintain good gut health." […] Kriben Govender: "Love it." Nathan Walz: "So go out, watch the sunrise. If you're able to take your shirt off, or even just kind of lift up your shirt some, get as much of that gut exposed to the sun in the morning. "Plus watching the sunrise sets your circadian rhythm, so you want to get that natural light in your eyes. No sunglasses. You want to have your glasses up. But your gut has a circadian rhythm, too. When your circadian rhythm is off in your gut you're gonna have different gut issues over time. So just that one thing: going out, watching the sunrise every morning, getting that stimulus in your eyes so your brain clock knows what time it is. It coordinates with all the other clocks, and your other organs, including your gut, work a whole lot better."

If you visit the cenotes in Mexico for four to seven days, how long do the health benefits last? Nathan Walz: "So how long does it last after you leave Mexico?" Dr. Jack Kruse: "The latest research says the pop in redox you get from being down here is anywhere between four and six weeks. So it depends how long you stay. That's just four days. If you stay four to seven days you can get a four to six week pop. That's part of the reason why I come down here so often. I try to figure it out. I probably won't have to come down here as much as I used to, because I'm not taking call anymore. That was the thing that was killing me and my redox."

Health benefits of visiting the cenotes in Mexico Nathan Walz: "So Jack, […] talk about why you chose Mexico for your members retreat." Dr. Jack Kruse: "[…] Most of the reason why we're here is about 65 million years ago there was an asteroid that hit the planet, took out the dinosaurs, and that's when the age of mammals came. And pretty much everybody that's on this call is probably a mammal, so what happened then it set the stage for eukaryotic evolution. And the reason why it's special is about 40 miles of the crust got blown away, so the mantle is really close to the surface, so there's a higher magnetic flux here. Normally on earth the µT is about 0.2 to 0.4 and in most places the earth. It turns out down here it's about 1.2 µT, so it's about 300 to 400% higher magnetic flux, so it's kind of like living on the ultimate Magnetico. "The other big thing here is when the asteroid hit […] it moved all the groundwater from deep in the mantle up to the surface, and it turns out the ground war is heavily deuterium depleted. That's where the cenote system came from, and the cenote system […] is on the rim of the asteroid. Only 13% is still exposed; 87% is actually in the Gulf of Mexico. If you look at a satellite image from Google […] you'll see that the rim of all the cenotes forms a perfect radius of the circle from that original asteroid hit. It turns out all the water from the Yucatan Peninsula comes through the cenote system, and what the governor of Mexico does, there's no lakes here, there's no rivers, there's none of that, it's all from the cenotes. That's from 65 million years of rainwater and groundwater sitting in these kettles inside this crater, so it's highly structured water. Some of the cenotes are open to the sun so they get constant UV year-round. So the water here is special. But Mexico does something really interesting. They actually use reverse osmosis to all the cenote water to further deuterium deplete it and clean it up. So the water here happens to be perfectly great right out the bottle. Now they have mineral water here, they have all different kinds of water, but all the water here including stuff you take a shower in is all cenote water, and it's all reverse osmosis treated. So that's what's good about it. "And obviously we're at the 20th north latitude so you're always in tropical weather. So the weather here, as you guys just know we just passed the winter solstice, so it's the shortest day of the year. Even here at the 20th latitude it's kind of probably better weather than most of you would get at your house on the best day in the summer, so that's what's special about it. And it's not humid; it's actually pretty clear." Dr. Jack Kruse with Nathan Walz @ 03:13–06:46 (posted 2018-01-08) https://youtu.be/hicoUAIc_Ww&t=193
