Introducing Justin
Justin Caviar is introduced as a guest on the podcast. The host expresses excitement about having him on the show, noting their good rapport and the opportunity for cross-promotion between their respective podcasts. The host acknowledges the wide range of topics covered on Justin's podcast and highlights his hyper-focus on the theme of becoming limitless, which they discussed in their previous conversation.
Becoming Your Best Version
Justin explains that becoming limitless means striving to be the best version of oneself. He references his Instagram bio, which jokingly mentions his aspiration to become like Bradley Cooper in the movie "Limitless." While acknowledging the current unlikelihood of achieving such a state without advanced technology or pharmaceuticals, he emphasizes the importance of personal growth and self-improvement. He shares that he always wanted to identify as "the guy" and this aspiration keeps him motivated.
About Testosterone Intake
The conversation shifts to testosterone, a vital hormone for men. The host expresses concern about high school boys using testosterone, fearing it could disrupt their natural production and fertility. Justin explains that while exogenous testosterone can cause testicular atrophy, HCG injections can help maintain testicular function. He cautions against aimlessly injecting testosterone and stresses the importance of consulting a physician and getting blood work done regularly. He also notes that testosterone levels have been dropping due to factors like phthalates and microplastics.
Effects of Testosterone Microplastics
The discussion addresses the concerning drop in testosterone levels, potentially linked to phthalates and microplastics. Justin mentions that the normal testosterone range has been lowered, and there are reports of men's anogenital distance shrinking. He advises pregnant women or those planning to become pregnant to research Dr. Rhonda Patrick's recommendations for a healthy pregnancy. He stresses that a man's sperm quality is affected by his diet and lifestyle choices.
Birth Controls and Pheromones
The conversation shifts to the effects of birth control on women, noting that it can affect their ability to receive pheromones, which play a role in mate selection. The host shares her personal experience of her "type" changing after discontinuing birth control. Justin points out the irony that women, who are generally more responsible, are burdened with birth control, which essentially puts their bodies in a constant state of pregnancy. He notes that women on birth control tend to be attracted to more beta males, while those off birth control prefer more alpha males.
Caution on Taking Testosterone
Justin cautions against the casual use of drugs like testosterone, emphasizing the importance of getting blood work done and avoiding "bro science." He warns that such practices can lead to sterility. He shares that he was close to starting testosterone but his blood work revealed high levels for his age. He is now taking test boosters to increase his free testosterone levels. He recommends exhausting all other options before resorting to testosterone.
Longevity and Advice for Longer Lifespan
The discussion shifts to longevity protocols. The host mentions her regular lab work and waitlist for a longevity clinic. Justin emphasizes the importance of movement, biohacking, and supplements. He highlights the need for skeletal muscle to prevent falls in old age and recommends cardio, particularly fasted cardio. He also shares his experience with a walking pad, which allows him to exercise efficiently while watching TV.
Mitigation of Stress Levels
Justin discusses the importance of managing stress for longevity. He shares a story about a friend whose hormone levels plummeted after discontinuing testosterone, leading to depression. He advocates for regular blood work to monitor hormone levels. He incorporates cold and heat therapy into his routine, noting that heat is better for longevity while cold is better for action and performance. He also emphasizes the importance of meditation, even though he finds it challenging.
Alternative Treatments to Improve Body Cells
Justin shares his supplement regimen for longevity, including astragalus and ubiquinol. He recounts a story about an ex-bodybuilder who regenerated his heart with high doses of ubiquinol, avoiding a heart transplant. He stresses the importance of choosing trusted supplement brands with third-party testing. He also mentions that stress significantly affects telomere length and recommends practices like sauna, meditation, and breath work to combat stress.
Definition of a High Value Male
Justin shares his definition of a high-value male, emphasizing the importance of physical attraction, financial stability, and communication skills. He notes that women are initially drawn to superficial qualities but later seek deeper connections. He stresses the importance of being trustworthy, communicative, and decisive. He also highlights the need for continuous self-improvement and progress.
Gratitude Practice
The host challenges Justin to incorporate a gratitude practice into his routine. She suggests listing three things each night that he is grateful for, spending time to feel and appreciate each one. Justin admits that he lacks a gratitude practice, fearing it might diminish his drive. The host argues that gratitude can actually enhance his edge by creating more room for abundance.
Where to Find Justin
Justin shares where listeners can find him online. He mentions his weekly podcast, "The Justin Caviar Show," available on Apple and Spotify. He is most active on Instagram, where he can be reached by direct message for questions about hormonal health and performance optimization.
