Mastering the Basics for Advanced Results

It's so important for advanced people to redo the basics because when you first learn the basics, you know nothing. And then you bluff your way through to pass. Like you're saying, you rope learn things, you kind of remember enough to pass your exams and that sort of stuff. But until you actually been out in the clinic in the real world trying everything the basics didn make sense If you go back as an advanced practitioner and therapist and go back and relearn the basics the whole thing all aha like oh now you totally forget these things or you never really had that understanding this is why i love chatting with steve-o so much because steve-o like understands the basics so no i know i don't understand the basics very well because i can't teach them to people you know steve-o understands the basics so much that where i have little levels of confusion i can go back and say steve-o what's and he can just talk me basic biochemistry because in my training i did this chem biochemistry and stuff like really early and you get all this bombarded with information and none of it makes sense because you don't know where it fits and how it works and what is but when you're advanced you go back and redo it like that's one of the benefits of me i did a advanced diploma originally it was only a three-year dodgy course but then they made it a bachelor of health science so three years later after being in a clinic you know for three years and working people for three years with that base amount of information. I went back to uni to do these advanced things where they just give you a refresher on the basic. I learned so much in that one more year because I had a point of reference and I had something that it made sense to me. I knew where these things fit all of a sudden. Changed everything. I recommend anyone that thinks they're elite, challenge yourself with the basics again and I guarantee all of a sudden you'll be spending the whole time going, aha, you have all these light bulb moments the whole way through. If you ever speak to someone that's been in the industry 20 years, they spend this time kind of learning some basics and then they go into really advanced stuff when they don't really need it. And then they circle back around. They realize if I just stick to the fundamental stuff, I get results. And I don't have to do anything crazy because I understand that all I'm doing is giving the body some information and asking it to adapt in a certain way. But if you don't understand that basic level stuff, then you have no idea when you give somebody a certain training protocol, conditioning protocol, food protocol, supplement protocol, you have no idea what it's doing and how it fits all the pieces of the puzzle fit together so that's the advanced only stuff works if you've built a base foundation with the basics absolutely and that's why we always talk about the pillars the base foundation making sure you're capable of inducing change for the advanced movers and shakers to come in and force things to do weird stuff exactly you've got to have a particular capacity or ability so as we're talking about magnesium make sure you're capable of switching off it doesn't necessarily switch you off the basics make sure you're capable of creating change. The advanced stuff is there just to force a fast dynamic. If you're training Usain Bolt, then yeah, you might need some advanced stuff because 0.01% improvement could be $20 million more. But he'll already be doing the basics as autopilot. The basics for him is autopilot, and then you go to the next level. But Joe Average and Susie Muffintop doesn't need advanced stuff. They can't even walk and chew gum at the same time. They think that a peanut is a solid source of protein. Like there's so much basic stuff they need to know that trainers just bypass and go straight to crazy protocols when they don't actually, they don't even drink enough water, eat enough protein. That's why it's so important to ask questions for any therapists or practitioners out there. Spend so much time doing that symptom picture and asking questions and don't assume people are drinking water, eating vegetables or actual food. The Handbrake to Health seminar that we did when we went around Australia, one of the most enlightening things for me personally learning is the fact that you're right. We got into relatively advanced levels in terms of hormones and the endocrine system and all sorts of nutrition things. And all these things definitely have their place, and they do work, and they're important. But the handbrakes to health, looking at taking away some of the basic things that people overlook all the time. And again, even with our supplementation, with the Gut Right, with the multi-food, these are actually core foundation products that are way more important than anything else that we sell. And there's a couple more to come as well, too, that Matt's worked out. that these four products together effectively are it, but they're incredibly sophisticated, but at the same time incredibly basic, and they're what everybody needs and used to have in their diet and in their nutrition when we used to eat well and whole balanced food. Same thing with training as well, too. You can see if you skip those base foundation things or you don't have a grip on them and you go down the wrong path, unless you understand them, you can't see where you've gone wrong. So I love it. Love it. Luke, thanks for coming on to the show. Thanks, guys. Jeff, you're waffling a bit. I think we need to wrap this up. I definitely think we will. We've gone way over time. Way over time. Steve, Matt? No, Steve, Matt. Get stuffed. And will we... These plebs. I can't believe I have to hang around with them. Terrible. Bad company, mum. Bad company corrupts good characters. These guys. Absolutely. And we'll be back next week. Yep. Thanks, guys. All right, have a good one. See you guys. Bye. Thanks for listening. And remember, question everything. Well, except what we say.
