My guest today is one of my nearest and dearest best friends. I have known him since high school and ever since I've known him, he has been an absolute stud when it comes to human performance.
Since I've known him, he has been jacked, shredded, and one of the strongest guys I have ever known. The best part is that he is truly a humble soul and goes about his business with class. He played D1 college football at the University of South Florida as a fullback and set the school record for a vertical jump at 43.5 inches, which is a super impressive feat, if you didn't know.
He trained on the United States Olympic Bob sled team which is a high honor and privilege to be a part of. Not just any Joe Schmoe can train with the bobsled team.
He was in an under armor commercial with Julio Jones, he has trained alongside Alex Rodriguez and Rob Gronkowski. He has even had a shout out from The Rock Johnson on twitter.
This is a man who lifts some big boy weights and owns the gym. In his very first body building physique competition, he placed 2nd overall at the NPC Rocky Mountain Championships, which is super impressive for a first timer.
I know very few people who work as hard as he does. His work ethic is seriously incredible. He is a full-time Doctor of Chiropractic working in San Diego California at Bayside Spine and Sport. He is seriously one of the best people I know in my life. And I am fortunate to have him as a friend. He is Dr. Justin Wilcox!

28:40 – I talk about a cross-fit athlete who had neck pain, shoulder pain, low back pain and headaches. He stopped lifting weights completely and committed to CBP care for 3 months. After care he added 50 pounds on each power lift even without lifting weights for 3 months!
30:45 – We talk about how I was born with Arnold-Chiari Malformation and how it was giving me migraine headaches.

54:20:
"I would eat Heirloom BBQ in Atlanta, Georgia. He would get the clear noodles with the BBQ ribs."
56:32:

Molecular Hydrogen and Why It's Hot Right Now, HyVida, The Benefits and Side Effects of Consuming Hydrogen, Why Antioxidants Are Not Enough with Rick Smith
In today's episode I chat about molecular hydrogen which has been a big topic in the health and wellness space and it happens that my guest for this episode co-founded HyVida brands, which is a hydrogen-infused beverage company. If you didn't know, HyVida is recognized by beverage industry leaders as a strong candidate to massively disrupt beverage categories such as sparkling waters, carbonated soft drinks, functional waters, and energy drinks. Now my guest today has over 20 years of experience growing high-technology companies from startup to thriving enterprises. With various executive positions in advanced optics, photonic sensors and semiconductors, Rick has strategically sold sophisticated technology into medical imaging, homeland security, defense and aerospace markets throughout North America, Europe and Asia. Rick holds a BS in Mechanical Engineering and MBA from Michigan State University, and he does all this, while being a family man. I'm excited to have Rick Smith on the show.
During our discussion, you'll discover:

-How important was it for you guys to leave out the unnecessary fillers and nasty ingredients? [21:28]

I talk about my experience of overcoming Eczema by visiting Dr. Paul Goldberg
Lab testing is extremely important in determining the reason of your sickness
I invested a good chunk of change in lab testing but it was 100% worth it
Lab tests I took:
Urinalysis
Indican test for protein malabsorption
Oxidative stress for free radicals
Diet and lifestyle analysis
Food antibodies aka food allergies
Fatty acid analysis
Breath test for small intestine bacterial overgrowth aka SIBO
Stool microbiology
Koenisburg test for adrenal fatigue
Hemoglobin A1C to see how much of my red blood cells are coated with sugar
Vitamin C panel to see how well my body is protecting me against free radicals
Biggest finding was that I had Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
I talk about the protocol I went through (supplements and diet) to eliminate my SIBO and Eczema.
I speak about the importance of getting to bed earlier and how to get quality sleep.
I speak about the importance of sunlight for your hormones and skin health

Learned about Chiropractic and how it was curing chronic conditions that medical doctors were shaking their heads about
I Continued to be hard headed even in Chiropractic school and made my Eczema explode over my entire body due to my arrogance.
