Foundational Habits vs. Performance Enhancers

see i think there's a two-pronged problem here that i see with guys that start with me they're on trt from from a clinic and you know usually they're working with like dave lee the web of primal zone they're working they already have their prescriber uh which is fantastic it means they get quality control lab supported pharmacology which is fantastic a lot of the time i find is when they start they don't have the foundational principles of the building blocks in place which i praise to primal when i first started like i'm not going to take anyone that's just already like hoping to throw gear at the wall and see what sticks the the premise is i think a lot of them don't have the foundations of training in place lifestyle in place nutrition in place sleep hygiene uh like liver understanding antioxidation you know nutrient diversity like having fruit having vegetables sunlight exposure these but these fundamental needs like if you look at maslow's hierarchy they're a fundamental need basically for some for more than just existence but to actually thrive as a human they're fundamental needs for you to actually do more than just survive i fucking hate be like oh let's just survive the year no try to thrive aim to thrive by doing these things a lot of the time they start these trt doses and And they feel such a strong benefit because their life is so in shambles that it's like this is the one positive. It also tells me how low the general health is that you're at such a deficient level that return to baseline, you suddenly think like you need more. Like you don't understand that that's how you're supposed to feel every day. You've realized that you've gone from negative five to plus five. You feel net neutral, but it was so bad that you're now looking at this as like, oh, I need to get another plus five. it's like no we've brought you back to normal you're inside like this is what you should have every day for the last 25 years but you haven't because you're fat you're overweight you're lazy you haven't started you know taking care of your health so there's these pronged approaches that i find that those are some of the reasons i see these guys go oh i need to add more it's like they're trying to out drug their lack of training intensity or proficiency they're trying to out drug their nutritional literacy and i'm not saying that's your guy here but more so that feeling is probably felt was like oh i feel like an actual male like i feel like a fucking man right now i want to keep that going well let's put like those things in place and you will feel that yeah i was i think i was i can't remember
