Summary

Jason Bitzer is a veteran ocean lifeguard, author and the founder of "Never Off Duty". In this third conversation, we discuss his son's pediatric cancer battle, water safety in schools, the prevelance of shark attacks, fitness standards, bleeding control kits and much more.

Jason has been a lifeguard on the beach since 1999--working the last 10 years on Oahu's dangerous North Shore where he was awarded the Mayoral award for lifesaving merit in aiding in the rescue of professional surfer, Evan Geiselman, at the world-famous pipeline. He cut his teeth writing as a contributor to Vice Sports as well as writing feature scripts, such as 'In Deep, ' which made finals of various screenplay competitions such as the California Film awards.

This episode is sponsored by Transcend, a veteran-owned and operated performance optimization company

0:05.9

that I introduced recently as a sponsor on this show.

0:09.5

Well, since then, I have actually been using my products, and I have had incredible success.

There was initial blood work that was extremely detailed, and based on that, they offered supplementation.

0:20.6

So I began taking DHEA, BPC 157 for inflammation

0:25.3

based on the fact that I've been a stuntman, a martial artist and a firefighter in my whole life,

lots of aches and pains, dihexa to help cognition after multiple punches to the head and shift work

0:36.1

and peptides. Four months later they they did a detailed blood work again,

and I was actually able to taper off two of the peptides

0:43.2

because my body had responded so well to just one of them

0:46.3

that it was optimized at that point.

0:48.5

So I cannot speak highly enough of the immense range of supplementation

the Transcend Foundation, which is putting veterans and first responders through some of their

1:17.2

protocols free of charge.

1:19.9

Now, Transcend are also offering you the audience 10% off their protocols, and you can find
