Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:00:03] So they were going through kind of the workout supplements. People have been asking about that, over often. So we'll run through that. All of these things we got, you guys need all the support pillars of wellness.com. And then the supplement, the profit from the supplement goes to the charity, to help, first responders and veterans break through their PTSD and addiction using ketamine and psychedelics. So it's a great cause if you guys are looking for good supplements and a good cause. Pillars of wellness, like. Go there, grab your stuff. All right. So, this is my pre-workout. This is my post-workout. So, it's pure energy.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:00:42] It's going to give you all your B vitamins and stuff like that. It's going to give you your creatine, to it's got caffeine in it. So it works really well. There's a lot of stuff in the market. This is the one I like the best. This is the one I'm using. The the scoop on this one should be able to get everybody where they need to go. The the downside of this one is that if you take a little bit more of the than the scoop, you're going to get a niacin flush, which is not that big of a deal. And there's new research out that showing that niacin flush is actually good for you.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:01:13] Also read more of those articles I just saw, you know, the the abstracts. So I'll read some more of those. But, I like to push this up right to the point where I'm right about, you know, getting tingly started to get red. So right at the very threshold of that niacin flush, which is about it's a heaping scoop, a scoop, and a little bit more for me. That's what I do every day. And then so pre-workout and then the nitrous oxide. There's, there's lots of research showing the cardiovascular health, free radical damage. And, you know, that's what's up is greatly helped by, increase of nitric oxide function. It also helps dilate the blood vessels, move oxygen around, and I, I like it for the pump. I like where it feels. I love this part of the, of my pre-workout. So it's based on arginine. So, that's going to be the biggest thing. I would make sure that we check. You guys check this one out. If you guys are not doing anything for nitrous oxide, I would highly recommend you do it.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:02:16] I think in about 20 minutes, 20, 30 minutes before I work out. That's usually where I'll take. I'll take it while I'm at the office and I get home, change clothes, jump in the gym. So it's about 20 minutes. But these are the two that I take every day. This is a big piece of of my workout. Even when I work in on the weekends, I'll mix these things up about 30 minutes. Forehand. I always take them. This is a daily thing for me because I work out seven days a week, but this is a big part of it. So if you guys are looking for a good nitric oxide, if you guys are looking for a good pre-workout, these are the ones I use. And I've loved them and these are my favorite so far. Now here's the thing that is a big, big deal. Brass hands. I take these.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:02:59] I take a scoop and a half to two scoops after every time I work out. And then right before I go to bed. When? When you're trying to build muscle tissue, one of the things you guys need to remember is that your body doesn't really want protein. It wants amino acids. The reason that everybody uses pea protein and whey protein is because P and whey have the highest concentrations of loosing. Leucine is the amino acid that has the highest muscle protein synthesis factor. So if you're looking to build muscle, collagen is a must. However, double up on your leucine. Now ISO, which is also branched chain, acts similar to insulin in the way that it forces nutrients into the cell. So if you're gonna be taking all these things, trying to build muscle, trying to help nutrition, trying to do that type of stuff, isoleucine to be a big player amino acid wise as well.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:03:45] So you got to eat your brain shakes it. This is a big, big deal. So I'll take these as soon as I get them working out. So I want my body to have as much as it can. It's got, you know, plenty of times plenty of growth hormone. It's got, you know, that has all the nutrients in it. And then I come back to the office after I take this and I take all my supplements, which includes all the college. So this is a big player. I also take this right before I go to bed, because again, right before you go to bed is the best time to take about something that you're trying to use to grow with because you grow, regenerate, repair, and heal while you're asleep.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:04:18] So I take these, like I said, twice a day since I, you know, I'm working out like walk out of my gym, into my house, wash my hands, take my branches five minutes after I've been working out. And so this is a great one if you guys are looking for, for a benefit, I tell people, if you're really looking to increase muscle mass and gains and things like that, don't bother with protein. Take your branch change and take your collagen. It's gonna be the best option for you chemically. Now, if you're doing something for a meal replacement, shake the Thor many clear is by far the best on the market. We carry it here. It's on the website. But if you guys are looking for the best meal replacement, shake the medi clear by Thorne is by far the best. It's got tons of micronutrients in it. It's really good. Good. Clean protein. It's by far the best one in the market because we're looking for meal replacement. But, if you're just looking for muscle growth, you're going to want your amino acids.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:05:15] You're going to want, you know, the clean, broken down protein. Your body doesn't have to spend a lot of time digesting. Because a lot of guys, you know, where you're taking those meal replacement shakes and you're trying to get all the protein in. Most of the time when I talk to patients, they're grabbing on the go, they're I drinking on the way to the office, or I drink at one at work, and it's fantastic. Well, here's the problem. If you're stressed out when you consume stuff, you're not going to digest it and you're not going to absorb it very well. So that 20 30g of protein that's in the smoothie or in the shake, you might absorb 7 or 8g of that worth of digested. So and you're not going to get a giant amount of leucine because it's again, it's a whole proteins is going to have multiple different amino acids in it. So lean heavier in Nebraskans than you are on anything else but branch chains and college and going to be the two things you're going to want to grow with.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:06:04] Because not only does it give you your leucine and isolations in your all, your minor cofactors are going to help tremendously. So those are those are some of the big ones to do. We'll go over some other stuff. Tomorrow we got some stuff on free radical, the antioxidant stuff. But, these are the ones I take the most pretty much every day. I take this one twice a day, and these two I take at least once every day. I say at least once. I can't think of a time I take him twice. But you know, I have. I do know people who are taking the energy, for energy, which is fine. You can do that. We were worried about, you know, excessive creating and things like that because I've been told by other media that they should watch out how much creation they take, which is. Silly. Creatine is highly neuroprotective as well. So the research that we show that, you know, people who've gotten concussions, when they've had cracks in their system, the body's been able to heal a lot better.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:07:00] So increase your creatine. You guys can get it from eating red meat, too. So if you guys are big carnivore guys, you guys are eating lots of meat. That's gonna be fantastic. Now on blood labs, when you guys work out real hard, you're gonna you're gonna release more crates into the system. So if your doctors don't know what they're doing, which is the vast majority of them, and they look at athletes, they're going to tell you, oh, your creations too high. That's bad for this. It's bad for that. Not don't worry about it. Oh, the other thing that's funny. Don't let your doctors tell you anything about alk Phos alkaline phosphatase. We don't really know what it does. I've done lots of research on trying to find a definitive. This is what it does, is why you need it. We don't.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:07:39] Apparently. We don't really know all the benefits or the downsides. We don't have great research on why it's even in the body. So fun little fact our class has, you know. It is, up in the air as to what it does. But there's a lot of things like that I always talk about. That's when I talk about athletics, when talking about working out, if you're an athlete. But am I athlete? I mean, you workout, you know, more than 3 or 4 times a week. You work out hard. Especially if you're lifting or doing any endurance cardio stuff. The vast majority of the medical docs that are out there have no idea what your bloodwork is supposed to look like, and all they really a lot of the docs are out there. All they know is if it's if the thing on the on the blood reports red, it's bad.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:08:24] They don't know why it's red. They don't know what that term what that that chemical does in the body. They just know it's bad. Like it's funny because like my AC is high and people are always like oh you got liver damage. No that's not how a body works guys. I need to see the liver enzymes that are responsible for gluconeogenesis. So if you're in a contorted state producing sugar by yourself, your art is going to be higher. And guess what we also see in athletes art is higher than normal. It's not liver damage, it's just aspartate and alanine moving around in the body, your body, your liver, utilizing them to do its tasks. It's supposed to, which is create sugar from amino acids. So. Right. So these are the three that we used to work out with.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:09:08] Again, you guys can give me pillars of all like, and like I said, the profits from the sales go to our charity to help veterans and first responders, deal with PTSD and addiction, actually, to. I can't use the term care very much, but 85% of the time, that's what we're saying. They come in with horrible, horrible PTSD and they leave. You know, when we're done with our successions, with, you know, the vast majority of it dealt with gone, and they can deal with life. So science a great daily cannabis is a great daily for this. The research is really, really, really clear on this one. The reason the psilocybin and the reason that, cannabis are still illegal is because it takes way too much money out of the pharmaceutical companies pockets. That's the real reason that we have issues. So, here's some of your questions. Two questions that charmers want to scam. Drop them in the comments, and, we'll get going. Thanks for your time.
