14:03 Do celebrity health hacks really work?



1. Peptides

Peptides are injectables used by athletes and celebrities for a wide range of health issues. I tried them for my osteoarthritis, but didn’t notice much change. Myofascial stretching is much more effective for osteoarthritis. Omega-3 fatty acids, cod liver, and eliminating seed oils from your diet can also be beneficial.


2. Stem cells

Stem cell therapy is very expensive, and the small improvements were not worth the cost for me. Instead, try prolonged fasting to stimulate stem cells naturally.


3. Intermittent hypoxic/hyperoxic training

This involves using a mask to strategically increase or decrease your oxygen intake during exercise. Reducing your oxygen intake during exercise mimics high-altitude training. As your cells become oxygen-deprived, your body generates new capillaries, increasing oxygen delivery to certain parts of the body. This can be incredibly beneficial for inflammation. To mimic the benefits of hypoxic training without the price tag, try a high-altitude training mask.


4. Ozone therapy

Ozone therapy involves removing your blood, oxygenating it, and reinjecting it. This can be good for hidden infections, but try exercise, saunas, cruciferous vegetables, intermittent fasting, and prolonged fasting to naturally strengthen your body’s detoxification systems instead.


5. Dry fasting

Fasting without food or water can trigger survival genes, creating an intense effect on the body. You also burn more fat when you don’t drink water. Body fat is converted to water, called biological water, during a dry fast.


6. Ice baths

Ice baths lower your body temperature, producing a therapeutic effect. I’ve found this to be incredibly beneficial for inflammation and arthritis, and have even noticed improvements in cognitive function and mood after an ice bath. Ice baths can also help boost weight loss!

I have tried some of the most extreme celebrity biohacks and today I'm going to share my results, my experience,

0:07.0

and I'm also going to tell you what to do to virtually get almost the identical results at a fraction of the cost,

0:12.0

because some of these things are very expensive.

0:15.0

But I am a human guinea pig for different therapies and I've tried a lot more than this list.

0:20.0

But these are some of the common things that you'll hear on the news with various celebrities.

0:24.6

The underlying mechanism is very simple.

0:27.2

You're adding a stress to the body to trigger certain biochemical pathways to help you heal faster or more efficiently.

0:37.5

But realize that the ultimate healing comes from your own body, not externally.

0:43.2

The external things are called epigenetics that can actually trigger this healing to happen.

0:49.4

So let's first start out with number one, peptides.

0:52.4

A peptide is basically instructions to tell your body what to do.

0:56.5

A lot of athletes use peptides, celebrities, and people with a wide range of different problems.

1:01.9

The reason I wanted to try peptides was for my osteoarthritis, from the years of injury, sports,

1:07.9

motorcycles, etc. These are injectables. You inject yourself, and the whole field of peptides

1:14.2

is very new, and it's going to take time to really get all the research laid out and understand

1:20.9

what it can really do. But I did peptides several years ago, and I only tried two different

1:27.3

types of peptides. One here is called BPC-157.

1:32.6

And that specific one sends signals in the body to help improve joints, to help improve blood flow,

1:40.4

tendons, nerves. And I mainly use that for arthritis. And honestly, I did not feel too much change

1:47.4

from that. I also tried this one right here called Phymosin Alpha 1. And this one works a little bit more

1:54.7

on the immune system, reducing inflammation, especially for chronic inflammation, to see if it can

1:59.7

help me with my arthritis.
