- It's been crazy exciting so far.
I mean I was pretty blown away that when they did
the one night only theater release,
1500 theaters across the world,
that it was sold out in so many theaters.
I mean that was like whoa this is--
people are paying attention to this.
And then obviously it launched on Netflix
not too long ago.
And this morning,
I went outside to meet my gardener
who just got here.
And he was like--
he didn't even know I ride a bike.
Or used to ride a bike really flipping fast.
He was like I saw the movie on Saturday night
and he said I want to change.
I don't feel good.
He's like I'm only 30 and I feel like I'm 50.
My joints are hurting, I feel inflamed,
I can't do my job as well I used to,
I can't climb the tall ladder like I used to.
He said I don't feel good,
I don't wanna feel like this anymore.
And I said well you've come to the right place.
You know I was really sick.
In my early 20s
with Anorexia.
Almost lost my life it a couple of times.
And building back from that,
was the hardest thing
I've ever had to do.
It almost made training for the Olympics
seem like child's play.
And I remember training really hard you know for years,
leading in to the Olympic games.
And just when I would be really really broken down,
and really overly exhausted just thinking
its never going to be as hard as it was;
recovering from Anorexia, ever.
So I really feel for so many young men and women and
even older men and women and they're suffering and
still in the chains and confines of letting
eating disorders rule their life.
And, you know the thing about a plant based diet for me,
you will hear some people will say,
oh its restrictive its so restrictive.
Its very hard to describe as you know,
I mean you have to kind of lean into it to understand
what I'm saying, but it is more freedom than I've
ever felt in my entire life, with food.
I think a big aspect of it is I know that I'm following,
I know that I'm following my values and I'm staying true
to my moral compass which is just being kind.
And just not causing violence, I mean I'm sure I am
in some other ways but I know that every time I sit
down to eat three or four times a day, that I'm choosing
kindness instead of violence and madness.
You know dairy its the most invasive lets call it.
The most inflammatory and you will notice the differences
if you cut out dairy quicker.
Than you might with meat, although you're gonna notice that
within weeks.
But if you have any type of intolerance at all to cows milk,
to either the casein in it or the whey or the lactose.
Over 70% of the worlds population does.
That's a lot of people.
Only 2% of the worlds population haves like a gluten
sensitivity so that is way over half our population.
Who can't tolerate or properly digest those elements
of cows milk, that's in all of dairy.
So that right there is a performance enhancer, right?
If you're not walking around with a stuffy nose
or mucus in your lungs or crampy stomach,
you're gonna perform better so.
You know that's sort of the simple answer.
And then obviously the layers of inflammation dairy causes,
is kind of chronic situation that some athletes are in
that are you know consuming a lot of dairy.
So when you take that out the inflammation starts to
decrease, right, and you're recovering faster than
you ever were before.
Which is you know--
In the film multiple times right, really recovery
and faster recovery speed or recovery is the golden ticket,
to you know output and premium performances.
