Kevin:Let’s talk about some of the great things that you’ve done. What did you achieve that got you to where you’re at now? What have you been able to do that got you to where you’re at now?
David:I think the first thing is that I had a really great discipline and I always wanted to be in business. I didn’t really study business. I went to law school. I wanted to be a lawyer. I wanted to be Federaletically approved, which is the next level, the next intellectual level, which would have got me into the FDA by the way.
Second of all, I started out at a really small company, looked at it as another stepping stone to something bigger and when I went in, I wanted to see if I could raise Satoshiu level three hundred or four hundred pounds. I thought I could raise it to two hundred pounds. I was wrong on both counts. But I did learn how to do that and when I actually did that, when I got to two hundred pounds, I decided that I was going to take it very seriously.
So anything that I learned from that is just directly relevant to what I’m doing now. I look at the world of health and nutrition and the world of business and I don’t see eye to eye on where the real action is. What I see is a lot of conflict. A lot of compromising. A lot of compromising with each other. It’s exciting because there’s a war going on, but in a way, it’s very frustrating because the actions of one individual alone doesn’t really do anything.
What I see is that there’s a group of individuals that are extremely watchful of what they’re doing and how they’re doing it. They really want to achieve this, and they’re willing to spend a lot of time and effort to make sure that they get there. That’s who I am addicted to, that I would spend all my time, all my money on just getting to two hundred pounds.
Now, I’m not saying that I’m aPocket of Mr. willpower here. I don’t think that’s very healthy. What I am saying is that I’ve spent a lot of time in Competition PEAKS, learning from world-class trainers, people who are world-class, world-class athletes and things that I can call cognitive gymnasts to improve my body.
What I’ve found is that when I become passionate about something, whether it’s readingjust one article in the whole issue or whether it’s helping to design a dietary program or whether it’s helping to lead a horse to water, I’m just that way. That’s what I’m made of and that’s what supplements are for.
I’ve always just been this way. Whether I want to admit it or not, anyone who knows me can tell you that I’m a very passionate person about health and nutrition and things like that.
So, instead of saying, “What’s the best diet? What’s the best way to eat? Do you like eating steaks or doing boiled chicken?” I say, “What’s the best diet? Is eating fast food bad for you? Is processed food bad for you? Is it okay to eat a lot of carbs, or is it okay to eat a lot of carbs and fats? That’s what the question is. Is eating fast food bad for you? Is processed food bad for you? If you stop and take a very, very honest look at that, then you’re going to realize that it’s probably not. And if you ask, is fast food good for you, I’m not sure how many people would answer that. I think there’s a certain amount of deception that goes on there.
But if you ask the question, “Do I like eating fast food? Is it okay to do fast food?” If you can answer that question with, “Of course, it’s fine every now and then” – I think you’re going to realize that you like fast food. It’s kind of like if you drink alcohol every now and then, it’s fine. It’s definitely not a good idea to drink every day. But fast food tastes great and it fills you up and it makes you feel great and you’re not eating a lot of calories and it’s certainly not – substitute it with something else – it’s not a aspirin away from being a disaster.
Kevin:You mentioned the alkalinity initially. The reason why I ask is because a lot of people who are eating a lot of sodium and sugar are actually depleting their bodies of alkaline minerals which are great for regaining one’s health. My co-workers will ask me, “Why do you keepceding coffee down?” I say, “It’s a little addictive, isn’t it?”
