Joint pain in your 30s?

0:09 Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to another episode of One Good Question, our Friday episode of fifte percent Facts, where we take questions from y'all. If you want to get involved Good Company Discord dot com, if you want to ask us questions like minded community, you want early sneak peaks at all our drops from good Company, and even early access to all our drops that sell out Good Company Discord dot com. And today we have a question from yum yum m nay peach. I don't I was not gonna know how to how to attack that one. Yum yum in my peach. Yeah, yum yum in my peach probably means he uh likes ass eating or gets the receivient or the recipient of ass eating. Yes, And he asked, how do you personally deal with age related joint pains? Thirties have been rough on my hip and back. I was just literally thinking about it writing over here on my busy clita. I don't think and maybe I don't think like thirties is qualifies as age related joint pain. I agree with you, and I don't know, Like, if you are having joint pains before your fifties, really you need to find out why. Yeah, there's activity related joint pains, right, Like, if you're competitively powerlifting, or you're still playing football or basketball or something, you know, three to seven days a week or even just once a week. Either of those have answers, right, Probably too much volume

1:41 or too little volume. If you're in your thirties, Yeah, things might get harder, but it's probably because of the lifestyle you chose. It's probably lifestyle related joint pain rather than age related joint pain. And I have yet to turn sixty seventy eighty, but I would probably argue, if you do everything correctly, even that it's gonna end up being more on the scale of lifestyle related joint pain than age related joint pain. Things will get more difficult, Yeah, right, Like you're gonna have to change what that lifestyle means. The lifestyle probably means not chasing down nine hundred pound dead lifts, but almost everything we do. Sure, there's a genetic component, and yes, our cells are slowly dying and we're dying, but I'd imagine there's almost you know, many factors that you can eliminate or add that can adjust to those pains. Yeah, I just had to go to Google a little bit on this, and this is actually a pretty good set of recommendations from AARP of all places. So this is like real age related joint pain. Not if your joint's hurt and you're a younger person. I mean, some people have congenital stuff for sure, you know, like hereditary things where shit wears out much earlier for them than other people. But yeah, outliers. But even even the ARP stuff, I just imagine. And if you look at other cultures, you know, it's not sixty in Japan, probably isn't looking like sixty in Missouri. Probably not. But like, well we'll get there.

3:08 That one of them is staying physically active. And this is true. Motion is the lotion. If you keep moving, things are less likely to be you know, sore and fucked up. Yeah, but if you're sixty and you haven't or thirty even and you haven't moved in ten years, you got you gotta ease into it. Yeah, moving now may cause joint pain. Yeah yeah, but that doesn't mean it's bad. You have to yeah, yeah, you have to figure out how you're gonna do it in a reasonable measured way. Healthy weight, So that is one of the that's one of the big determinants of knee issues. Don't be fat. Don't be fat. Yeah, it fixes a lot of issues. Yeah, sex life will probably go up. Yeah, bank account may even go up. Yeah, joint pain's going down. Yeah. Being too skinny can be a problem too, So you need to have an appropriate body weight. Yeah, I mean yeah, like if you're malnourished. I don't know, being too skinny, is I think malnourished maybe yeah, yeah, possibly possibly that could be the only issue. But yeah, like I cart I mean, you have to be keeping your cartlet she healthy. You have to be eating a diet that is sufficient to keep your all that stuff that is sort of deprioritized by your body.

4:15 Like cartlet doesn't have a blood supply, so right, yeah, yeah, if you're starving, Yeah, if you're starving yourself, it's not probably not a good thing. Uh, just generally listeners issue. No, I don't think that's so either generally cleaning up your diet. That's going to be true for everybody to a certain extent. I don't know really, because it was a big thing for a while about like foods that cause uh, you know, swelling or inflammation whatever, whatever, which is kind of immeasurable I do. Yeah, I don't know, Like I don't know. I'm not comfortable saying absolutely, do this or do that because of that that reason to eat this and don't eat that for for those reasons, because I think that that that research isn't necessarily always reliable or correctly targeted or correctly interpreted. Yeah, the issues, Uh, there's not a lot of measurable tools to measure inflammation, and it's how dynamic it is throughout the day. Same with hormones.

5:09 Right, people say, your cortosol so high, Well, when did you take the test? Because there's certain hours of the day your quortosol is going to be naturally Highah, and test and all that stuff. But now I'm the same. You know. I don't think just sugar is going to crush you, and I don't think gluten is going to crush you. But I think each individual, the older you get, you can start to find things that crush you. You know. Even yesterday I just added like a little bit of flour to my chicken that I try to make some air fried chicken, and I could like feel it in my gut a little bit, like my shit, my stomach hurt a little bit more than normal. Normally I just eat meat and salt, So yeah, that could just be a change. Again, I'm not going to say like, oh, I'm gluten intolerant and feed me all the shit, but you start to make notes of how you feel after you eat certain things and eliminate the shit that doesn't feel good right right, Staying hydrated is a really really big one for joints, and it's hard for a lot of people, yeah, to get the appropriate amount of I don't know why that is water. I don't know. Well, in the winter it's always harder because nobody wants to drink cold water, but nobody wants to drink hot water, and nobody wants to drink lukewarm water.

6:12 Just we don't have to drive to drink fluid in the winter as much as you do in the summer. Yeah, if it even in the summer, people are dehydrated. Yeah, just start with half your ounce. I was just yelling at Eddie outside half your body weight and ounce is a day pretty good place to start. Yeah. Pain management is one of them. So you know over the counter, any inflammatories, everybody's got access to those. I think you just have to be careful how you use them relative to particularly relative to your gut or even the pain itself. Yeah, but if you're just slamming advil all day, how are you gonna know what's causing your joints to hurt? Exactly, It's probably only gonna get worse, Yeah, exactly, Like even those is like inflammatory, you know, like, if you have a bunch of elbow pain from working out or lack of working out, slam an advil every Day's buying not the answer. No, it's probably not the answer. And taking annie inflammatories before you work out, I think is not a great idea. If you have to take anti inflammatory before you work out, you need to remediate whatever the underlying problem is instead of Yeah, if you're playing in the super Bowl tomorrow, sure, man, crush up some fucking ibuprofen. But and you're getting paid millions of dollars to do it. Yeah, yeah, even yeah, Yeah, if it's once, sure, but if it's every workout or every game or whatever, these arps are doing every shuffle board match. Yeah, kind of the last one.

7:33 That's actually I think I pulled it up from another it's about to be an arp. The amount of time that we've podcasted together. It's about to turn into a retirement only podcast. Webe podcasting for sixty years. I saw these like young streamers of the day. They're like, not that young, they're probably thirty, and they've been doing it a long time. They're kind of OG's of like the IRL streaming. And one of them said, and he's I don't think part of it is like content creation rather than actually like speaking on like our podcast. We try to be as authentic as we can. But they're like, yeah, you definitely could see our group when we're like seventy at least going live once a month. And I'm like, you want, like, there's not fucking way your other priorities Take one. Who knows what the Internet's gonna be sixty years from hour whatever the shit before, we're gonna have it in our heads all the time. Yeah you see, I'll be dead. So some of them, I don't know. Modern technology will upload your conscience to that fucking fancy MacBook. There's some crazy shit. They already have. The the glasses that come out with cameras on on which you're sick. I don't know if it's Google someone else, but those are sick they like take pictures and volog from your thing, like the tiniest GoPro and it's hell high quality. But then the augmented reality I think meta stuff is crazy. Someone's doing the dishes and their laundry and a full Spider Man movies like playing in the corner of your life. Geez. Yeah, talk about ADHD problem. Yeah, that would be well, that's going right into your brain. Yeah, if you could. You can't tell me that that doesn't cost changes in your brain. Yeah, I'm ready for Yeah, I think Guardy Abbot fucked. There's a little bit about arthritis, and that's like,

9:05 that's the reason to go to the doctor if you've got you know, particularly you know, a lot of a lot of people as they age get osteo or arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is a whole different, you know, anti immune story. I think my dad had it. I think really, yeah, some of that I don't even know if they have medicines for, and they're throwing them on testing medicines and weird ship his knuckles got all stolen and crazy that that that that sounds like arthritis, probably potentially rheumatoid. But the one that I wanted, I could talk about from personal experience and and it isn't. So it wasn't for me so much joint pain as it is muscular pain around joints, and that's hypothyroidism. I found out this year that I have like a called Hashimotos syndrome. It's a anti and immune and anti immune kind of how I'm not saying that right And I just said it a couple of minutes ago. What what's the word I'm looking for. It's it's an immune system response where your immune is trying to immune system is trying to eat your thyroid alive a little. Yeah, messes with some like compromise, That's what I was trying to say. Yeah, apparently it's working on my brain as well, so attax vocap. Yeah. So basically what happens is that you know the function of your thyroid goes down and your thyroid stimulating hormone comes up because your body is saying, hey, I'm not getting enough enough of the thyroid production. You need the juice. And then they also can measure,

10:37 you know, if you have antibodies, you know, to your thyroid, which is where the immune things coming from. And like mine, we're freaking sky high and and they never go down. Once they go up, there's like no way to attack that. All you can do is take synthetic thyroid hormone the beast. Yeah, And and almost immediately, like you know, within the first month, the like muscle soreness that I was having was really calmed down. I don't think it takes a while. It takes like six months to a year to actually get the dosage right. And I'm not there yet for sure, because yeah, because like deadlifting a couple of weeks ago and then trying to and that that was bothering my lower back in ways that I have not felt maybe ever, and then trying to sort that out and did a bunch of abs and in the hopes of supporting my lower back better, and that caused its own, you know, week and a half pain issue. So I think I'm you know, I'm still gonna need to adjust to that. But like if you're having muscular pain that feels like joint pain and not like you have to sort of differentiate between the two. Just get your all right checked. It's not that hard to do, you know, It's just a little blood test. Yeah, but for your thirties, I mean again, Yeah, activity based joint pain. If you're lifting too much in your thirties, you have to slow down your volume a little bit, you know, if you're a competitive powerlifter. But even that, I don't think it's really a thing. If you if you don't stop, if you

12:09 stop, comeback is gonna be hard, and it's gonna get harder the older you get. Probably right you stop lifting, you start to go real hard in your fifties. It might be hard, but it's definitely possible. You just got to manage your volume, manage the doses. I think that's it.
