Summary
Matt Gallant is an entrepreneur, a poker champion, an ex-rock guitarist, a strength and conditioning coach with a degree in kinesiology, the CEO of a company called BiOptimizers, and a guy who send me e-mails like this:
"Subject line: probiotic enema
Break open a handful of capsules and ferment in coconut water...reaches peak power around 4-5 hours of fermentation. However you live in a cooler climate so it might take longer. You can drink it, and if it's still sweet then you can go longer. When it starts to become a bit acidic, that's when it is at it's peak. For enema, retention time should be 15-20 minutes. I like doing the Batman enema. I'll go upside down with the Om Swing so it really works it's way down. I tend to do this after two days of fasting so it really takes care of old bad bacteria..."

| 0:00.0 | Hey, it's Ben Greenfield and I'm gonna apologize in advance to you because you are about to be subjected to a really nerdy |
| 0:08.2 | conversation between myself and two guys who basically do crazy stuff. Shine laser lights on our |
| 0:16.7 | do |
| 0:17.3 | animas and take copious amounts of fringe supplements, etc. |
| 0:21.7 | So my apologies in advance, but hey if anything you'll at least be entertained and maybe learn a thing or two for |
| 0:29.4 | this month's Christmas cocktail party. |
| 0:31.9 | But before we jump in, |
| 0:33.4 | I begin learning a thing or two. I want to tell you about something that I learned recently and that is the fact that you can dump copious |
| 0:41.8 | amounts copious. See if I can spit that out copious amounts of insect matter into your smoothie. |
| 0:48.4 | Copious amounts of insect matter into your smoothie and it still actually tastes pretty good. Really good actually. Like a Wendy's |
| 0:55.6 | you know those Wendy's frosties that you used to get. I don't know if anybody even gets those. I haven't been to Wendy's in a while |
| 1:01.2 | but I used to get the chocolate frosty. This one tastes like that, but a vanilla frosty. And they do a chocolate one too. |
| 1:07.5 | I just haven't yet tapped into the chocolate. I've just been using the vanilla, but it's this company called Crick |
| 1:12.0 | CRIK and they make really super tasty protein and this is protein that has three times the protein punch of beef and it actually |
| 1:21.7 | blows away even organ meat in terms of nutrient density. And of course it's ethical, but it's a cricket-based protein powder, meaning that |
| 1:30.8 | it is jam packed with the full amino acid profile that insects have. A lot of people don't know about this. |
| 1:38.0 | As much calcium as milk, more iron than beef or spinach, more potassium than foods like avocado, but it tastes really really good too. |
| 1:46.9 | And you can just get it in a powder form and throw in a smoothie. So I've been using the vanilla, they do a chocolate as well, but you get 15% off of |
| 1:54.7 | any of this really tasty cricket-based protein powder from Crick Nutrition. And here's how. Go to Crick.me slash BGFitness. |
| 2:03.8 | That was a mouthful. I will admit Crick.me you spell it CRIK.me Crick.me slash BGFitness. |
| 2:12.5 | And if you want to get 15% off of your purchase, just use code Ben, B-E-N. So Crick.me slash BGFitness use code Ben, and they even have |
| 2:22.6 | 100% money back guarantee, which trust me you won't need to use because the stuff tastes amazing. And again, it's just as good as beef when it comes to |
