Summary

Your blood is a river. Food shouldn't drain your energy, period. Your adrenal glands need to be stressed strategically. Eating less can give you more energy if you do it the right way. Anything that clutters your head strips you of energy and productivity. Movement is life, excess healing and repair inhibits that movement, and stagnation (AKA rigor mortis) is death. Increasing energy is synonymous with increasing fertility, health and longevity, so if you decode an energy increase, the effects are exponential.

These are just bits and pieces of Yuri Elkaim's "7 Commandments of Energy" found in his All-Day Energy Book, and in today's podcast we take a deep dive into the commandments that Yuri claims can double your energy in seven days. Yuri is a nutrition, fitness, and fat loss expert and the NYT bestselling author of The All Day Energy Diet and The All-Day Fat Burning Diet.

He is a former pro soccer player turned health crusader, and he's most famous for helping people who've tried everything to lose weight and get in great shape, with little success, finally achieve breakthrough results. He is on a mission to empower 10 million people to greater health by 2018 by making fit and healthy simple again.

During our discussion, you'll discover:

-Why all Yuri's hair and eyebrows fell out...[9:00]

-The little-known foods or lifestyle practices most notorious for limiting oxygen carrying capacity of blood...[17:50]

-Why chlorella and Vitamin B12 match the structure of your blood's hemoglobin...[12:12]

-Why it's a myth that your diet can't change your blood pH, and the specific foods that will make your body more acidic...[26:55]

-The simple protocol that allows you to determine exactly how much hydrochloric acid you need to take prior to a meal to assist with digestion...[52:30]

-How you can easily test your adrenals at home with two dollar flashlight...[66:40]

-The surprising billions of probiotics you should really be including in your diet...[69:45]

-And much more!

0:00.0	Hey, what's up everybody? It's Ben Greenfield. I've got my friend Yuri on today's call Yuri Elkheim. Elkheim. Elkheim. I don't know. I don't know how to pronounce those.
0:11.3	Crazy. What European, Jewish, Middle Eastern, and the ELKIM. Elkheim. I should probably stop trying to pronounce it so that I don't know if that people will ask him in the show.
0:26.0	Before we get to Yuri, however, I do have a couple of things I wanted to tell you about. I was recently on a TV show. I have to keep it secret, but it will error, I believe, mid-November.
0:38.6	And in that TV show, I'm wearing a T-shirt. A T-shirt that I absolutely love, and that doesn't have a logo on it because they wanted me to wear a T-shirt that didn't have a logo on it.
0:47.0	But I am wearing the way that I do my clothing is I just stick to specific brands. So I've got this new brand, and I'm wearing most of their clothing now for my kind of cool-looking, tight-fitting fitness apparel.
1:03.8	Because everybody knows I love me some spandex. No, I'm kidding. They don't do spandex. They actually make a pair of all this really comfortable, really soft.
1:12.2	Even my kids like snuggling up to me and I'm wearing this fitness apparel, but it also looks good. At least I think it looks good.
1:19.8	If you think I look like crap when I'm dressed, when I'm actually wearing a shirt, you should probably stop listening to this particular commercial.
1:27.8	But four athletics is the name of the brand, four athletics. So go check out their stuff. They've got shirts, they've got shorts.
1:34.8	So the idea is they use a crowdfunding model to get you amazing fitness apparel at a fraction of the retail price. And they do it ethically.
1:42.6	So there's no waste, and 100% of their stuff is made rot hair in the U.S. of A. So must be good.
1:49.8	Anyways, you go to four athletics, F-O-U-R-F-L-L-X.com. Go there. Surfer on their site. If you've actually seen me wearing clothes, it's likely that I'm wearing their stuff.
1:58.8	So use promo code Ben, B-N, to get 15% off of all stuff from four athletics. All right? Just do it. Four athletics.com. Use code Ben, 15% off.
2:10.8	Also, for any of you who are A. obstacle racing or B. party animals who like Vegas, you should know that I am having a big meetup in Las Vegas.
2:23.8	It's not going to be on the strip. We're actually going to do this off the strip at a sweet sushi restaurant. We're going to drink sake.
2:29.8	We're going to eat amazing sushi. And it's all part of the Ben Greenfield fitness meetup, this taking place after the tough mudder in Vegas.
2:37.8	So this is coming up soon. This is Saturday night, October 28th. So what we're going to do is we're going to meet in Vegas.
2:42.8	Do the race at Henderson for any of you who want to get on a plane last minute, fly to Vegas.
2:47.8	And Saturday, October, did I just say 28th? I think Saturday is October 29th. Anyways, it's that kind of like Halloween-ish weekend.
2:56.8	So I'm going to fly down. I'm going to do the race. I'm going to fly back in time to have Halloween with my family.
3:01.8	I think I'm going to be Shaggy from Scooby-Doo. I think that's what my children have requested.
3:07.8	Anyways, though, 7pm, we are going to all meet at this place called Tide Seafood and Sushi Bar and just throw down.
