0:00 [Music] there were a lot of different problems with me that were going on that I've been talking to doctors for for 10 years what I didn't know the range went that high that that honestly explains a lot when I saw Dana I thought that the situation was pretty bad that makes a lot of sense wow that is a serious situation the secret to Dana White's body transformation superum protocol that's a lot of Promise in the title first the secret what are we going to discover and second a superum protocol that's a big lift is it going to deliver all right let's
0:45 go what's up everybody we're here at UFC headquarters and uh we're here in my gym that is actually connected to my his gym holy this is enough for like 45 people is this all for him if he is I'm so jealous my gym has five pieces of equipment he's got 40 or 50 here what does it say in the wall if I can see it and believe it then I can achieve he's limiting his own potential he's just saying the things he can see and believe in but if he can't see it he can't do it I don't know you walk into this gym and I feel like there's some reality Distortion stuff going on that I actually feel more myopic let's carry on so this June will be two years that I started this health Journey that I'm on right okay I'm actually pretty relieved Dana White's a pretty cool guy I've seen him in very press conferences he does
1:31 not look well I was fearful that I was going to see a headline like Dana White has a stroke and dies he's actually a really cool guy and I'm really happy he's doing something about his health being unhealthy is a very com you know very easy thing to slip into and so good job Dana for doing something about it there were a lot of different problems with me that were going on that I've been talking to doctors for for 10 years none of them could fix any of my problems I had sleep apnea I had problems with my legs I had problems I didn't realizes I had that doctors didn't even tell me so a friend of mine Carrie kasm came to me and said you have to meet this guy Gary Greer he's incredible he's a human biologist will'll change your life and I didn't believe in any of this stuff God he looks intense right like you pull up there that guy is not messing around you
2:17 walk in there the ultimate human he's wearing a shirt the ultimate human is he the ultimate human or are you going to be the ultimate human who who in this situation is the ultimate human but he's definitely not around we finally ended up connecting and he did my blood work through that he blew me away he said give me what tricer or 764 I didn't know they could be that I didn't know the range went that high that that honestly explains a lot when I saw Dana I thought that the situation was pretty bad that makes a lot of sense wow that is a serious situation those are some bad markers kuros to Dana for making this public it is not easy to face face your problems it is not easy to make your your problems public you
3:03 know we all want to put our best fa face on so good job him for being transparent give me 12 weeks and I'll change your whole life it didn't take 12 weeks a few weeks into it I started to feel better started have more energy started sleeping better that's so true if you make a change today tomorrow you're going to fill the effects like if you feel in a slump and you need to get going then just start one one baby step it get you the domino effect of the power law just start going so I that's cool he's getting momentum right off the bat he look at that he's determined I respect climbing out of a hole you're in and he's at he's after it good job so today I'm going to walk you through my facility here that I have in my office and uh show you what I do wait what did we say what's what's the statement here on the wall okay because you might as
3:49 well be dead what seriously if you always put limits on what you can do physical or anything else it'll spread over the rest of your life ah I don't know if if that quote it's one it's way too long to put on the wall like who's going to stop and read that whole thing and and the structure of the sentences it's is the grammar even correct I would probably try to put that in chat gbt shorten the quote a little bit so when I look at the wall I feel it you know like I'm repping this out I got one more to go give me something it's not like I can be like oh what's that quote again seriously if you it's just not going to work Dana I can help you with this we can come up with some new statements that I think are going to help with with your superhuman protocol so come with me I'm going to show you everything we
4:35 got there are four components to the Superhuman protocol the BMF pad cold plunging red light therapy it's like the Cyber truck turned into a a cold plunge like someone scrapped the Cyber truck so they can make a cold plunge so now they're doing cyber cold plunges so this here is the pmf pad is this a massage parlor what's going on here I actually have this at my bed at home so this goes in your bed the machine right next to it here you turn it on and you literally just lay on this thing I sleep on it every night pmf stands for pulse electromagnetic field a pulse electromagnetic field is really mimicking what we get from other nature and that's the magnetism the low gous current that we get from the surface of the Earth so with the pmf uh pemf I
5:23 don't know the science behind it and they just strung together a bunch of words about what it is what it does what endpoints is supposed to have I've learned in my years at blueprint is it's very hard to determine the efficacy of a given strategy some things emerge and the evidence is very strong uh like extraversion olive oil good evidence very solid Choice when you get into other areas it's very difficult and you can have experts look at Technologies and both read the same literature and come up with entirely different conclusions and so I don't have an opinion Maybe it's a good thing maybe it's a bad thing but I would be interested to know what are they measuring to assess whether it's working a coal plunge this like I go in at 50°
6:10 for 3 minutes so when you start coal plunging it's very hard at first it's very mentally challenging for those of you who haven't cold plunge it is very challenging my drug of choice I don't think anything makes you feel better for longer it can actually benefit you by indirectly affecting insulin levels by activating getting P shock proteins by turning on thermogenesis for brown fat and exchanging calories for heat as well as increasing your mood by releasing endorphins and dopamine yeah so same thing with with uh cold plunge is we have not Incorporated cold plunge into blr because the evidence doesn't meet the criteria for our specific objectives of longevity it seems like Dana is doing this for his mental well-being of it makes him feel awake you can spend so
6:58 much time doing an infinite number of things that are worthless so know what you're trying to achieve and then make sure you're achieving that once I'm done cold puning then I do the oxygen therapy so this is called ewat exercise with oxygen therapy it's based on a well research principle called multistep oxygen therapy and at about 10 and 1 12 11 minutes you've completed putting 900 L of this oxygen through the body and that is doing your cells good yeah same thing as before this is the challenge of course when you're watching this is there's this idea that you know Dana White is a successful person he is in a position of power uh with the UFC and so there's this idea that if he's doing this and someone else
7:43 is saying that he's doing it and it's a good idea but in none of the therapies so far have they offered up what biomarkers they're isolating and what they're trying to see for effect and so again this is the thing is you can spend a lifetime doing things without knowing if they actually work and so the important thing is measurement knowing the biomarker you're after and then seeing its effect the next step is the red light therapy bed I do it for 20 minutes I do redite therapy 12 minutes three times a week and I have two panels and it's it's okay it's not the top of the list for power laws but it definitely is good for various things let's see what they say or photobiomodulation uses infrared light and near infrared light different wavelengths of light well known for
8:29 producing inflammation improving eyesight improving collagen elastin vibrant in the skin it's very good for empowering the mitochondria the PowerHouse of the cell to actually improve its metabolism it's a great way to recover it's the rage and athletic performance and anti-aging and Longevity where he was going was good like it is it helps on mood it helps on elastin it helps on uh energy but anti-aging and Longevity like those two words were just dropped in in like magical words it's kind of like it's the soup of everything and redite therapy has a specific set of benefits but it's not this thing is going to solve all things I think it's a good health practice not a power law but again just be careful when you hear
9:15 these words strung together you might be led to believe this is a Panacea it's not the case 10 minutes a day if you use it every day or 20 minutes two to three times a week seems to be the sweet spot this is an incredibly therapeutic tool if I only have one bio hacking device in my light it will be a red light therapy bet so the last thing I do is the red light and then that kicks off my workout I don't think that would be my number one longevity thing I would probably say sleep sleep is the PowerHouse of our conscious existence and when you're well rested you know life becomes manageable when you're not it feels really challenging and so if you want to do positive things in your life like eat well and exercise and be a good friend and a you know good uh person at work then sleep is kind of the thing that's
10:00 going to power you through the other things like if you're relying upon cold plunge and red light therapy to compensate for a poor diet and bad sleep it's just not going to do it it it's not powerful enough so get the basics right sleep leads to exercise which leads to diet so just kind of in a cascading format okay great I'm just looking at that quote again if I can see it and believe it then I can achieve it but like again there's two conditional statements like one you have to see it and then two you have have to believe it so what would my quotee on the wall be it would be um Hi friend good job you know warm welcome like we showed up we're at the gym we're doing our best life is hard hope you had a great night's sleep every day that I wake up I Tred to be better than I was yesterday
10:45 and I spent the last almost a year and a half getting in the best shape that I could possibly get in and now so I appreciate Dana's humility here he said getting into the best shape I could possibly get into a lot of people would feel that sentence with a platitude of I'm in the best shape of my life and precision is important so I appreciate Dana being accurate here I'm looking to take it to a whole another level in 24 I wonder what he has in mind if it's a whole new level in 24 the framing of the video is super human and I think it's a cool idea what can we humans aspire to like where can we place our Ambitions is it like I'm going to lower my triglycerides I'm going to have better cholesterol I'm going to you know achieve better cardiovascular fitness I
11:31 think it'd be cool if we could get into an age where we humans could legitimately Express superhuman goals and for them to be real for someone like Dana myself I'm 46 and so like you know not a spring chicken in terms of like I'm not 20 at Peak athletic performance so it'd be cool if we could legit all Express that since I started taking my health seriously almost two years ago my life has completely changed I'm more active I have more energy I'm more productive at work I'm more productive in life period I I I swear to God I feel like I am 25 years old again when you look at me and you say oh yeah well you got money you can do this and that and everything it's not about money or not having money it's about money really helps you guys can join a gym and Gary can walk you through protocols that you can do if you don't have all the
12:17 equipment that I have there's no excuse sometimes there is like life is pretty hard and I think the idea that this fullon like no excuse uh David gogin like thing it can be problematic those days you don't want to do it guess what you got to do you got to suck the up and do it stay hard can we be real for a minute like this is not a situation where you just put out a platitude like anyone people are are in shitty situations they sometimes need serious help sometimes it can feel awful when others put the expectation on you that it is your fault I know when I was chronically depressed I felt paralyzed to do anything and wasn't if someone pulled up and gave me a fancy quote or patted me on the back
13:03 of like get your together Brian I was paralyzed like I just wanted to lay down and die so for those of you out there who are in that spot and there's a lot of you cuz you know like this is a very common human occurence I would take a much softer approach with you and say it's okay like it is very hard to be human and a lot of time in life it just feels miserable you are not the misery you feel that's something outside of you and you can make small baby steps but um yeah just maybe a a slightly different uh coaching or motivation approach between Dana and myself so we just finished a whole explanation of the Superhuman protocol by the way I'm pretty skeptical of the Superhuman protocol I get that it's a marketing frame but we basically learned about uh
13:49 PF cold plunge and oxygen therapy I don't know what we did at blueprint is we combed through all the scientific literature and we tried to find the best evidence for health span lifespan increase and then we applied those power laws but we were extremely rigorous about the scientific analysis looking at the the uh the data and then looking at effect size and we don't do any of these things this is not to say that they're not legitimate this is just to say it didn't pass our assessment now maybe the evidence is emergent maybe we don't know about some of the evidence maybe it's something that is addtive to something else I don't know I I don't want to be too conclusive I do want to say however I think the Superhuman protocol is a bit of a stretch of a promise I'm really really clear you do not need all of this
14:34 fancy expensive equipment sure if you got 120 Grand lying around I would buy that equipment before I bought a Range Rover 120 Grand that's a lot of money but most of us don't have that kind of money to spend so true let me tell you how you can do it for free if you don't have the money for a fancy pmf mat and by all means take your shoes off and touch Mother Earth the second thing you can do if you don't want to buy an ewat machine or exra exercise with oxygen therapy is learning how to do 8 minutes of breath work you can get all of the benefits of exercise with oxygen therapy without spending a dime just learning how to breathe properly then the final thing is if you don't have the money to spring for a red light therapy bed expose your skin to sunlight especially first thing in the morning it helps to
15:19 regulate cortisol helps to regulate melatonin it will do more for your circadian rhythm and to help you sleep that night than you could possibly imagine simply by exposing yourself to sunlight in the morning those are three things you can do to change the trajectory of your life that will not cost you a dime touch the surface of the Earth do breath work expose your skin to sunlight and that is just science so I'm sure everybody came out of the holidays Gang Busters and and New Year's resolutions and if you've fallen off already March means that Spring's coming yeah that's it's true everyone around New Year's big Ambitions for life but then by the time April arrives it's a different game and here comes summer so put together your program be consistent get after it I guarantee you
16:07 you start doing this you're going to have the best summary of your life all right so my summary of the video good job Dana White he took control of his health he was in a bad situation and he's making positive steps he looks a lot better we started off with his biomarkers being really bad I didn't know that Tri rid could be that high I've never heard of that before so it would have been cool to see at the end of the video where his biomarkers were at after you know he made the statement that he feels like he's 25 years old it'd be cool if we saw some biomarkers that were heading in that direction good motivational video I give Dana let's say a 10 out of 10 for his Charisma he's bringing a lot of enthusiasm I think he's a good example
16:52 people look to powerful others to for guidance on how they can behave and when Dana who's at the epicenter of this fight culture with the UFC when others see him in unhealthy habits they also excuse themelves for having the same when Dana is fit and healthy then others are going to want to be it so Dana is doing a positive thing in the world he's putting his health as a making his health as a priority and others are going to mimic Dana's Behavior so good job Dana on that on the science if I compare it to what we as a blueprint team have done it's not made our list so I don't think that I would be recommending anyone do this the cold plunge is not part of our practice because it doesn't match our longevity goals it doesn't mean there's not
17:37 benefits in other things so if you do have a cold plunge practice great it's important to know what you're trying to achieve by it and if you can measure those things if you're trying to do it just because you feel good it's something hard you can do great but in terms of the scientific benefit of doing these things we neither have biomarkers or do we have literature to say that what we're doing is a good idea so on the science is like you know a three or four out of 10 and then finally you know the take-homes of this were were walk on grass do breath work and look at the sun those may be fine but they're really not the power laws that drive our day-to-day Consciousness it's sleep and diet and exercise these are the hard things and if we want to make meaningful change in how we feel and how we look and what
18:23 we're trying to do in life I me Dana talks about him feeling great and wanting to be you know a top performer in life I would go after the power laws that's really where the money's at so I'd say overall good job Dana White for being public about his his expedition to health I think it fell short for a superhuman protocol I don't think there were any secrets in there that are novel uh but it was a cool video it was fun to watch hopefully it you know serves the purpose of encouraging others to adopt more healthy habits if you want to check out my protocol I've called it the don't die protocol so it is a different objective if we get to a point where we can make superum goals I'm down for that right now I think what's within our power is to slow our speed of aging and try to reverse the aging damage that has happened and do so in a systematic way
19:09 with biomarkers measured scientific interventions uh implemented and then measurement again to see if it has the effect by doing that in a methodical way you can actually make sense is this worth the effort or not before you go out and start dropping 120 Grand on equipment know what you're trying to achieve and make sure you can achieve it so if you want to learn more about my do di protocol I've made the entire thing for free it's uh available online the recipes the protocols my data my experience what I've learned what I the mistakes we've made and what you can do and friends for those of you who are struggling I feel you I'm with you I hope that I'm a positive voice in your mind that I'm empathetic to your situation and if I can encourage you to make the smallest of baby steps to improve your life I'm there with you it's very hard to be human and we can do
19:54 this together
