but this is why I'm I'm bracing the 21st century because I'm I am on the road I'm in all these weird places and started to feel like rundown and stuff and I wasn't here's another thing as I wasn't eating meat for a long time and I started eating meat again and he feels so much stronger I'd literally would be in the green room like tired I'm not tired before a show at 10 o'clock and I really think I just wasn't getting enough protein I quickly was just like eating salads in between I just once I started kind of drifting back interesting back were you vegetarian or vegan vegetable go back and forth but mostly vegetarian so sometimes you're vegan for like yeah for a whole year yeah how'd that go did you start sizing people it's hard I got very snotty yeah I felt better than everyone like I thought I was better than everybody else I know it's very difficult thing to do yeah you got to really make sure that you monitor your protein correctly like people say where do you get your protein from and like what about this gorilla listen bitch you're not gorilla okay you're not a fucking horse either the horses eat hay all day and they're fine you have giant muscles your body's different dummy like people people need certain amounts of protein and you certainly need a complex amino acid profile and some proteins that you're getting from plants they don't have a full amino acid profile so if you're gonna you're gonna go vegan and you want to really make sure that you diet is balanced you got to really do some reading really pay attention to what quinoa is good is really good hemp is one of the best oh yeah yeah hemp protein there's some stuff that we sell it on it called hemp force protein powder and it's one of the best ones because it's super easy to digest a very fine protein yeah it's really expensive because I have to get it from fucking Canada and it's one of GU feeis laws that we have going today in this country that you can't grow hemp still yeah well some states are allowing it now and it's eventually going to roll out and it's going to be nationwide but yes it's one of the easiest things to grow it is like bamboo grows crazy doesn't require nearly the amount of service that other Glantz - it's essentially it's a weed yeah but anyway the point is it's a full amino acid profile profile right and there's only a few plants that are like that you know what other ones I just huddle in all honesty I I was doing it for health I was doing it because I have a lot of high cholesterol and heart stuff in my family and I was like I didn't want to go on any drugs and I was like I'm just gonna keep it at bay and I'm gonna eat clean and I ate that way for a long time and eventually just this last year my genetics kind of caught up to me and it was like I'm eating this way and I still my cholesterol was high mm-hmm so I was like you know what I'm gonna go on a statin and lower it you are yeah and what about exercise I exercise what do you do I run and weights the reason why I asked this is Anthony Bourdain was on statins and he got on statins just because his body was um um he was you know constantly going on the road and traveling and drinking and eating food and his body wasn't responding well to that right he had real problems his broad pressure and just decided well I could either restrict my diet mm-hmm which to him is offensive yeah because he's a chef and it's a big part of his thing yeah and especially with his job yeah get on these statins he got in the statins but then he got into jiu-jitsu uh-huh got obsessed with jiu-jitsu lost 30 pounds got off the statins yeah now he's super healthy well that's the thing I was I had high cholesterol and I said I'm not gonna go on the statins so I increased how I was working out I went vegan for a long time and lowered it I was able to lower it and keep it at bay doing that for a while and it just started inching up it's turning kind of coming back and I don't know so I just figured it's the 21st century let me let me embrace no knowledge but there is negative consequences with your liver isn't that correct well you have to be tested you have to be you have to stay on top of you got to do your blood work or is that initiative only been on it for a couple months OC just recently got on it brand new now
