What up, guys. Welcome to this episode of the Chiu-Jitsu podcast with me and Eugene. And we're going to be talking to Allison. So Allison is one of the people that works for First Optimal. So we had Joe on the podcast. So I'll give you guys a quick story. Okay. So we're getting right into the stories. So over a year ago, well, about two years ago, first Optimal started working with the

Jiu-Jitsu podcast, right?

Jitsu Open.

That's it. Excuse me. Now that Jiu-Jitsu podcast, the Jitsu Open. Thank you, Eugene. So they started working with the Chichitsu Open. And Joe was like, hey, man, let me let me get, let me really show you what we can do. And I remember I really wasn't keen on it because I was like, hey, you know, I'm already, at the time I had just started TRT and stuff.

And I was like, okay know, I'm already at the time I had just started TRT and stuff. And I was like,

okay, I see how this works. Whatever. It's fine. I don't care. I'm not that worried about it. But I got to know Joe more and just really liked him. Him and Amber both are just such like, they're good people from everything that I can see right um and you know eventually it's like

we had them on the podcast you know and when we had them on the podcast I got really intrigued

us like they don't this doesn't sound like the experience that I had at a TRT clinic I was like

you guys sound like you do a little bit more and so I went ahead and you know set up with them

and set up a time whatever and they dug into my blood work. They got certain markers. I'd never seen before played with. They were telling me about certain things. They got me on certain medications. I had never, I'd either heard about or people had sort of talked about, but never given me. And like one of them was thyroid medication, which we'll talk about in a little bit. And it was like game changing. I was like that one would change my life, just that and by itself.

Like I got I got so much energy from that. That was wild. But anyway, went through the experience. I was like, whoa. And Allison is like sort of the, the, the, the, one of the the coaches that like works with me and my wife directly. because I got my, as soon as I was on with him for like about six months, I was like,

I told my wife, I was like, you got to try this.

You know, because she was getting more interested in it she had looked into it I would tell any of you guys that have if you're like a guy that's on testosterone or you've got energy and something like maybe your wife's close to 40 or in her 40s and she's struggling I'm telling you right now I mean that mean, the hormone thing is so important. And it's like, I'm not like, I'm not some sort of male feminist or anything like that. You know what I mean? And like you'll hear us talk about this multiple times on the podcast where, you know, we kind of like say, man, women get the short into the stick on this stuff, right? So I'm not like some sort of like whatever, you know, but you can hold ideas in your mind like I can say, man, I want, you know, women to be treated fairly. And I also believe, you know, in certain things for guys. You can have those ideas, whatever. I just, we live in such a stupid society where anytime you say one thing, it's like you're you're somehow taking away from another right um like i want men to get their

stuff treated because you guys should like you're, you're somehow taking away from another, right?

Like, I want men to get their stuff treated because you guys should feel, you should be able to feel amazing if you want to, right? And then likewise, like women, why would we leave you out of the equation? And, you know, when you're in a marriage, right, all of you guys know this, if, you know, if you're a guy, happy life, happy life, man. You know, and so like, I mean,

it is what it is, dude, it's a simple equation, but we didn't, we all know it's damn true.

And also as a husband that loves. happy life, happy life, man. You know, and so like, I mean, it is what it is, dude, it's a simple equation,

but we don't know it's damn true.

And also as a husband that loves your wife, you want her to feel good too.

Absolutely.

And so a lot of times for us as guys, we just want to fix things.

And so like when there's a problem, you're just like, I want to fix it.
