today we have a question from yum yum
7
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:40.960
m nay peach. I don't I
was not gonna know how to how to
8
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:45.079
attack that one. Yum yum in
my peach. Yeah, yum yum in
9
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:52.280
my peach probably means he uh likes
ass eating or gets the receivient or the
10
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:56.200
recipient of ass eating. Yes,
And he asked, how do you personally
11
00:00:56.240 --> 00:01:00.079
deal with age related joint pains?
Thirties have been rough on my hip and
12
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:06.359
back. I was just literally thinking
about it writing over here on my busy
13
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:15.439
clita. I don't think and maybe
I don't think like thirties is qualifies as
14
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.359
age related joint pain. I agree
with you, and I don't know,
15
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:26.319
Like, if you are having joint
pains before your fifties, really you need
16
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:29.879
to find out why. Yeah,
there's activity related joint pains, right,
17
00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:34.159
Like, if you're competitively powerlifting,
or you're still playing football or basketball or
18
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:37.840
something, you know, three to
seven days a week or even just once
19
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:41.079
a week. Either of those have
answers, right, Probably too much volume
20
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:44.799
or too little volume. If you're
in your thirties, Yeah, things might
21
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:48.599
get harder, but it's probably because
of the lifestyle you chose. It's probably
22
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:53.120
lifestyle related joint pain rather than age
related joint pain. And I have yet
23
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.959
to turn sixty seventy eighty, but
I would probably argue, if you do
24
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:01.799
everything correctly, even that it's gonna
end up being more on the scale of
25
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:07.319
lifestyle related joint pain than age related
joint pain. Things will get more difficult,
26
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:09.639
Yeah, right, Like you're gonna
have to change what that lifestyle means.
27
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:15.080
The lifestyle probably means not chasing down
nine hundred pound dead lifts, but
28
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:21.039
almost everything we do. Sure,
there's a genetic component, and yes,
29
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:27.199
our cells are slowly dying and we're
dying, but I'd imagine there's almost you
30
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:30.960
know, many factors that you can
eliminate or add that can adjust to those
31
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:36.080
pains. Yeah, I just had
to go to Google a little bit on
32
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:40.479
this, and this is actually a
pretty good set of recommendations from AARP of
33
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:46.080
all places. So this is like
real age related joint pain. Not if
34
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:49.080
your joint's hurt and you're a younger
person. I mean, some people have
35
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:53.919
congenital stuff for sure, you know, like hereditary things where shit wears out
36
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:57.919
much earlier for them than other people. But yeah, outliers. But even
37
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:00.759
even the ARP stuff, I just
imagine. And if you look at other
38
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:05.800
cultures, you know, it's not
sixty in Japan, probably isn't looking like
39
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.120
sixty in Missouri. Probably not.
But like, well we'll get there.
40
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:12.400
That one of them is staying physically
active. And this is true. Motion
41
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:15.919
is the lotion. If you keep
moving, things are less likely to be
42
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:17.639
you know, sore and fucked up. Yeah, but if you're sixty and
43
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:22.199
you haven't or thirty even and you
haven't moved in ten years, you got
44
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:24.520
you gotta ease into it. Yeah, moving now may cause joint pain.
45
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:28.159
Yeah yeah, but that doesn't mean
it's bad. You have to yeah,
46
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.039
yeah, you have to figure out
how you're gonna do it in a reasonable
47
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:37.800
measured way. Healthy weight, So
that is one of the that's one of
48
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:40.800
the big determinants of knee issues.
Don't be fat. Don't be fat.
49
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:45.319
Yeah, it fixes a lot of
issues. Yeah, sex life will probably
50
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:46.919
go up. Yeah, bank account
may even go up. Yeah, joint
51
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:51.520
pain's going down. Yeah. Being
too skinny can be a problem too,
52
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:54.280
So you need to have an appropriate
body weight. Yeah, I mean yeah,
53
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:58.159
like if you're malnourished. I don't
know, being too skinny, is
54
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:03.159
I think malnourished maybe yeah, yeah, possibly possibly that could be the only
55
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:06.680
issue. But yeah, like I
cart I mean, you have to be
56
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:11.000
keeping your cartlet she healthy. You
have to be eating a diet that is
57
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:15.520
sufficient to keep your all that stuff
that is sort of deprioritized by your body.
58
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:17.639
Like cartlet doesn't have a blood supply, so right, yeah, yeah,
59
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:20.360
if you're starving, Yeah, if
you're starving yourself, it's not probably
60
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:25.000
not a good thing. Uh,
just generally listeners issue. No, I
61
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:28.519
don't think that's so either generally cleaning
up your diet. That's going to be
62
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:31.759
true for everybody to a certain extent. I don't know really, because it
63
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:38.040
was a big thing for a while
about like foods that cause uh, you
64
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:41.600
know, swelling or inflammation whatever,
whatever, which is kind of immeasurable I
65
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:45.120
do. Yeah, I don't know, Like I don't know. I'm not
66
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:49.279
comfortable saying absolutely, do this or
do that because of that that reason to
67
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:54.000
eat this and don't eat that for
for those reasons, because I think that
68
00:04:54.000 --> 00:05:00.279
that that research isn't necessarily always reliable
or correctly targeted or correctly interpreted. Yeah,
69
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:04.720
the issues, Uh, there's not
a lot of measurable tools to measure
70
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:09.879
inflammation, and it's how dynamic it
is throughout the day. Same with hormones.
71
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:11.959
Right, people say, your cortosol
so high, Well, when did
72
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.519
you take the test? Because there's
certain hours of the day your quortosol is
73
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:17.759
going to be naturally Highah, and
test and all that stuff. But now
74
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:19.959
I'm the same. You know.
I don't think just sugar is going to
75
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:23.279
crush you, and I don't think
gluten is going to crush you. But
76
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:27.000
I think each individual, the older
you get, you can start to find
77
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:29.560
things that crush you. You know. Even yesterday I just added like a
78
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:31.439
little bit of flour to my chicken
that I try to make some air fried
79
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:33.959
chicken, and I could like feel
it in my gut a little bit,
80
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:38.560
like my shit, my stomach hurt
a little bit more than normal. Normally
81
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.319
I just eat meat and salt,
So yeah, that could just be a
82
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:44.360
change. Again, I'm not going
to say like, oh, I'm gluten
83
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:46.639
intolerant and feed me all the shit, but you start to make notes of
84
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:51.079
how you feel after you eat certain
things and eliminate the shit that doesn't feel
85
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:57.360
good right right, Staying hydrated is
a really really big one for joints,
86
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:02.360
and it's hard for a lot of
people, yeah, to get the appropriate
87
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:05.079
amount of I don't know why that
is water. I don't know. Well,
88
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:08.759
in the winter it's always harder because
nobody wants to drink cold water,
89
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:12.639
but nobody wants to drink hot water, and nobody wants to drink lukewarm water.
90
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:16.160
Just we don't have to drive to
drink fluid in the winter as much
91
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:20.000
as you do in the summer.
Yeah, if it even in the summer,
92
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:23.560
people are dehydrated. Yeah, just
start with half your ounce. I
93
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:26.279
was just yelling at Eddie outside half
your body weight and ounce is a day
94
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:31.480
pretty good place to start. Yeah. Pain management is one of them.
95
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:36.600
So you know over the counter,
any inflammatories, everybody's got access to those.
96
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:42.240
I think you just have to be
careful how you use them relative to
97
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:46.279
particularly relative to your gut or even
the pain itself. Yeah, but if
98
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:49.720
you're just slamming advil all day,
how are you gonna know what's causing your
99
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:53.839
joints to hurt? Exactly, It's
probably only gonna get worse, Yeah,
100
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:59.839
exactly, Like even those is like
inflammatory, you know, like, if
101
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:01.920
you have a bunch of elbow pain
from working out or lack of working out,
102
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:04.519
slam an advil every Day's buying not
the answer. No, it's probably
103
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:09.480
not the answer. And taking annie
inflammatories before you work out, I think
104
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:12.519
is not a great idea. If
you have to take anti inflammatory before you
105
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:15.959
work out, you need to remediate
whatever the underlying problem is instead of Yeah,
106
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:19.079
if you're playing in the super Bowl
tomorrow, sure, man, crush
107
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:23.199
up some fucking ibuprofen. But and
you're getting paid millions of dollars to do
108
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:25.560
it. Yeah, yeah, even
yeah, Yeah, if it's once,
109
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:30.360
sure, but if it's every workout
or every game or whatever, these arps
110
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.680
are doing every shuffle board match.
Yeah, kind of the last one.
111
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:36.800
That's actually I think I pulled it
up from another it's about to be an
112
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:42.360
arp. The amount of time that
we've podcasted together. It's about to turn
113
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:46.759
into a retirement only podcast. Webe
podcasting for sixty years. I saw these
114
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:48.920
like young streamers of the day.
They're like, not that young, they're
115
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:50.920
probably thirty, and they've been doing
it a long time. They're kind of
116
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:55.879
OG's of like the IRL streaming.
And one of them said, and he's
117
00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:00.839
I don't think part of it is
like content creation rather than actually like speaking
118
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:03.279
on like our podcast. We try
to be as authentic as we can.
119
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:07.399
But they're like, yeah, you
definitely could see our group when we're like
120
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:09.319
seventy at least going live once a
month. And I'm like, you want,
121
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:13.240
like, there's not fucking way your
other priorities Take one. Who knows
122
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:16.720
what the Internet's gonna be sixty years
from hour whatever the shit before, we're
123
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:20.759
gonna have it in our heads all
the time. Yeah you see, I'll
124
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:22.199
be dead. So some of them, I don't know. Modern technology will
125
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:26.680
upload your conscience to that fucking fancy
MacBook. There's some crazy shit. They
126
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:30.399
already have. The the glasses that
come out with cameras on on which you're
127
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:33.759
sick. I don't know if it's
Google someone else, but those are sick
128
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:37.360
they like take pictures and volog from
your thing, like the tiniest GoPro and
129
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:41.279
it's hell high quality. But then
the augmented reality I think meta stuff is
130
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:46.360
crazy. Someone's doing the dishes and
their laundry and a full Spider Man movies
131
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:50.159
like playing in the corner of your
life. Geez. Yeah, talk about
132
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:54.600
ADHD problem. Yeah, that would
be well, that's going right into your
133
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:58.000
brain. Yeah, if you could. You can't tell me that that doesn't
134
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:00.000
cost changes in your brain. Yeah, I'm ready for Yeah, I think
135
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:05.200
Guardy Abbot fucked. There's a little
bit about arthritis, and that's like,
136
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:07.919
that's the reason to go to the
doctor if you've got you know, particularly
137
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:11.519
you know, a lot of a
lot of people as they age get osteo
138
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:15.679
or arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is a
whole different, you know, anti immune
139
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:20.399
story. I think my dad had
it. I think really, yeah,
140
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:22.399
some of that I don't even know
if they have medicines for, and they're
141
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:26.440
throwing them on testing medicines and weird
ship his knuckles got all stolen and crazy
142
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:31.919
that that that that sounds like arthritis, probably potentially rheumatoid. But the one
143
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:35.200
that I wanted, I could talk
about from personal experience and and it isn't.
144
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:41.080
So it wasn't for me so much
joint pain as it is muscular pain
145
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:46.679
around joints, and that's hypothyroidism.
I found out this year that I have
146
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:56.279
like a called Hashimotos syndrome. It's
a anti and immune and anti immune kind
147
00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:01.559
of how I'm not saying that right
And I just said it a couple of
148
00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:03.679
minutes ago. What what's the word
I'm looking for. It's it's an immune
149
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.360
system response where your immune is trying
to immune system is trying to eat your
150
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:13.879
thyroid alive a little. Yeah,
messes with some like compromise, That's what
151
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:18.080
I was trying to say. Yeah, apparently it's working on my brain as
152
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:22.919
well, so attax vocap. Yeah. So basically what happens is that you
153
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:28.320
know the function of your thyroid goes
down and your thyroid stimulating hormone comes up
154
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:31.320
because your body is saying, hey, I'm not getting enough enough of the
155
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:37.159
thyroid production. You need the juice. And then they also can measure,
156
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:41.960
you know, if you have antibodies, you know, to your thyroid,
157
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:46.440
which is where the immune things coming
from. And like mine, we're freaking
158
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:50.720
sky high and and they never go
down. Once they go up, there's
159
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:54.679
like no way to attack that.
All you can do is take synthetic thyroid
160
00:10:54.679 --> 00:11:01.000
hormone the beast. Yeah, And
and almost immediately, like you know,
161
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:05.919
within the first month, the like
muscle soreness that I was having was really
162
00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:09.080
calmed down. I don't think it
takes a while. It takes like six
163
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:13.000
months to a year to actually get
the dosage right. And I'm not there
164
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:16.879
yet for sure, because yeah,
because like deadlifting a couple of weeks ago
165
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:20.200
and then trying to and that that
was bothering my lower back in ways that
166
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:26.159
I have not felt maybe ever,
and then trying to sort that out and
167
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:28.879
did a bunch of abs and in
the hopes of supporting my lower back better,
168
00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:33.759
and that caused its own, you
know, week and a half pain
169
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:37.279
issue. So I think I'm you
know, I'm still gonna need to adjust
170
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:41.399
to that. But like if you're
having muscular pain that feels like joint pain
171
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:45.639
and not like you have to sort
of differentiate between the two. Just get
172
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:48.039
your all right checked. It's not
that hard to do, you know,
173
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:54.360
It's just a little blood test.
Yeah, but for your thirties, I
174
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:58.080
mean again, Yeah, activity based
joint pain. If you're lifting too much
175
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:03.120
in your thirties, you have to
slow down your volume a little bit,
176
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:05.639
you know, if you're a competitive
powerlifter. But even that, I don't
177
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:09.080
think it's really a thing. If
you if you don't stop, if you
178
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:11.879
stop, comeback is gonna be hard, and it's gonna get harder the older
179
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:13.799
you get. Probably right you stop
lifting, you start to go real hard
180
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:16.279
in your fifties. It might be
hard, but it's definitely possible. You
181
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:20.320
just got to manage your volume,
manage the doses. I think that's it.

188
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:48.039
balance. I used to know the
ratio of kind of the fats you intake,
189
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:50.480
fish oils or something very easy and
moderate that may help or may not
190
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:54.720
help. Some joint pains and just
general pain, but it's never gonna hurt.
