Dr. Matt, it’s so great to have you on my show.

Dr. Matthew:                        I am so pumped to be on your show, Trevor. Thank you so much for having me.

Dr. Trevor:            Yes, absolutely. Speaking of pumped, this is what you help a lot of people do, is have that she superhuman capacity, this Peak Performance. I’m excited for you to share with us today how we can have more energy and get more out of our life, our health, and all of that. I want to ask, starting with your story, what got you into this line of work?

Dr. Matthew:      It was actually a long time ago when I was called to do what I do. I really believe practitioners like you, practitioners like myself, who are called to what they do because it’s in our core. It’s who we are, it’s our being. It’s beyond a career. It was very obvious to me when you sent your book, by the way. Thank you for sending that wonderful book.

The fact is that, when I read something like that or when I talk to a practitioner like you, I sense automatically that the compassion behind your words and the way that you talk about your clinic in the way that you talk about what you do, is ingrained in who you are. So that was ingrained in me a very long time ago when I was eight years old.

I remember I went to a seminar. My mom who was a Feisty Sicilian woman, she would drag me to these seminars where all these doctors would gather and they would essentially discuss their patients. They would discuss the fact that we need to get to the cause of why someone is sick and diseased and suffering instead of just looking at symptoms.

I remember going to this one seminar and being bored like any eight-year-old would be sitting in the back of the room. All of a sudden this man got up on stage and he started speaking with such conviction and such love about what he did. I couldn’t help myself, I needed to get closer so I started walking closer to the stage. I remember sitting and looking up at him. Honestly, in that moment he could have been discussing Tupperware. I didn’t even know what he was discussing, I just knew that what was in his voice was something like I have never heard before in my life. It was something that I saw in him that I didn’t see a lot of in men.

My dad and me, we didn’t have a very good relationship. I remember thinking, “There’s something about this man that is different, and I need to find out and want to know what it is.” That night I remember driving home with my mom and I said, “Mom, I think I know what I wanna do for the rest of my life.” That was the beginning of everything.

I was raised in a home with doctors all around me, I remember. They were doctors who, again, wanted to figure out the cause of why someone is sick disease and suffering. They were very passionate about their patients. They looked at their staff as their family. They were very proactive and preventative in their approach to things. I’ve never had a medication and never been on antibiotic before. Praise God I never broke a bone. I probably would have been in that situation if I had broken a bone and end up in the hospital. I’ve never been on drugs before.

So my passion, the core of who I am, I know what it’s like to not be drugged up and not go down the road of surgery, and I want that for other people. That’s essentially what I do now, is I’m able to really address underlying cause with high performers. Not only high performers like executives entrepreneurs but also their families as well. I’m able to show people what it looks like to live a thriving abundant life. Because as you know, Dr. Cates, from all the patients that you’ve seen in the clinic that you run, the fact is that we have so many people not living at their full potential. You want that for them and you can’t help but think, “Just imagine if we lived in a world where people were functioning at this very, very high level?” And that’s not abnormal.

I think sometimes we talk ourselves out of that and say, “Well, you know, I gotta have my coffee in the morning and I’m just never going to get enough sleep, and I’m always going to feel really, really low and not energized. You know, exercise is just something that is for the really, really fit.” The fact is, health is very, very simple. I just think we complicate it. We have so much coming out us day in and day out. We have so many diet books and fad this and that. That it’s hard to navigate through it all and see what’s the truth and what’s actually just a product or service that’s being sold to make another buck.

When we can actually have doctors like you that we can listen to and get truth from, and know that that type of advice and that knowledge is going to take us to the next level in our lives to thrive more abundantly then changes everything. It changes our outlook, changes our brain function, changes the way that we delve into relationships. It changes the way we raise our kids, it changes everything.

Dr. Trevor:                              Absolutely. I’m excited to have you on to share with us how you do it. What do you recommend to people and what are some of the really simple solutions for people to go from that just getting through the day and drinking coffee cup, getting through it like that? Or how to really thrive and seize the day, and get the most out of it?

Dr. Matthew:                        Well, I’ll start with this, there is a mentor of mine, his name is Steve Linder, and he’s actually one of Tony Robbins main executive board people. He teaches NLP all over the country, Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Neuro-Linguistic Programming is an amazing tool that you can use to reprogram rewire your brain. It’s so important when we think about health, it’s very important that we rewire our brain. Instead of just, for instance, “I’m going to buy another supplement. I’m going to do another nutrition program. I’m going to get … New Year’s resolution. I’m going to exercise more.” We headed into 2017 with these grandiose ideas of what we’re going to do to get healthy. The fact is is that that is temporary and it’s fleeting because you actually haven’t reprogrammed your mind to think a different way about health.

A lot of times people think about health in a symptom-based way. Meaning, I want to lose weight, I want to get more energy, I want to be more productive, and those things are great and wonderful and [inaudible 00:07:43] themselves. You want your skin to be glowing and your hair to look good, your nails look good. All those things are wonderful, but the fact is that, if you don’t have the right paradigm behind it then you’re going to be three-four months down the road and you’re going to be burning out. Saying, “Man, this is so hard.” You’re not going to have a Big Y behind what you’re doing.

That Big Y essentially is, what do you want? What’s the big idea behind doing all those things? Five ten, twenty years down the road, why are you doing the things today to get to where you want to be then? Is it to spend more time with your grandkids? Is it to go on vacations with your spouse? Is it to train for an Ironman and be around people who are going to lift you up and motivate you more? Whatever it is, you got to ingrain that in your spirit.

I think it starts with knowing that. One of the things that everybody asks themselves or maybe doesn’t ask themselves … I know a lot of people that … I’m around very preventative thinkers. A lot of high performers are very preventative thinkers. So they’ll ask this question, they’ll say, “How do you know you’re healthy?” Or if I would ask your listeners, “How do you know you’re healthy?” What’s the first thing that someone usually says? It’s “How I feel.” The fact is is that that is a very misleading answer because you and I both know, Dr. Cates, that someone who has stage 1 cancer it develops silently at first. You don’t feel it until it’s 30 million, a billion cell strong and then all of a sudden it’s too late. You got to handle the emergency.

I would say it starts there. Ask yourself, how do you know you’re healthy? Don’t base your health on how you feel base it on how your body is functioning. How every cell, tissue, and organ is functioning. Then from that point springboard into the tools. Because if you get that right, if you understand that health comes from within and that if you want to prevent disease instead of just catching it. For instance, most of our medical system they just catch the disease. For instance, a woman gets a mammogram, “I’m sorry, ma’am, you have cancer.” What about 5-10 years ago? What could you have done to prevent that? In 5-10 years ago you would ask that woman, “How do you feel?” “I feel fine.” “You didn’t know you were gonna have breast cancer five years from now.” Knowing that we have to change the paradigm first.

Second, I would say, it all starts with your morning routine. That is something that I go after with everybody. Because, once again, before your feet hit the floor you should be in the mindset of greatness. You should be asking yourself penetrating questions. For instance, Gary Keller wrote a book “The one thing”. In that book, he talks about what is the one thing that’s going to systematize and automate your life, and just make things easier, and help you to delve into your passion more. Asking yourself really important questions right when you wake up.

Having something that you methodically go through. Having steps that you methodically go through. For instance, for me, I have to get outside right away. Literally, my feet hit the floor and I get outside and I get my bare feet on the ground and I ground myself. Because I just feel my body responds better when I’m out nature. I just get more alert, I feel energized, and so I get out nature first. I also have a huge 16-ounce jar of water that I take down right away. I drink the whole thing, make sure my body is hydrated. Most of the time for most people their cells are healthy, they been sleeping for eight hours, the bodies may be a little bit dehydrated. So get the water in there would be really important.

I also go through a methodical way of looking at my day. I make sure that I’m in a place to receive and I also make sure that I’m in a place of gratitude. Meaning that there is no ego, I don’t want to hang any bitterness, make sure my mind is open.

I exercise so I do burst training, and that’s really, really important. A lot of times we talk ourselves out of the exercise because we think it’s going to be too hard. There’s really easy ways to exercise and burn fat. It is so important to push your body. Intensity is everything. If you walk into the Globo Gym down the street, you’re going to see people hanging out in the gym for an hour an hour and a half. It’s really a waste of time because they’re not coming with intensity. They’re using weight that’s … either the same weight over and over again so the body has muscle memory but they’re not challenging their body.

Challenge your body with intensity and change up the exercises because your body has memory. Your body wants to change the exercises up, it’s looking for you to do that. If you do that you’ll build muscle, you’ll burn fat a lot easier. Maybe we can put in the show notes an example of some exercises that people can do so we don’t necessarily have to get into it on the show.

I do a burst training regimen and then I get home and I immediately take a cold shower. I do this thing where I get the mammalian response, which is that (sighs), from a cold shower. What that does is that it initiates different types of hormone regulation of the body, causes serotonin to spike. The body doesn’t essentially realize how long it’s going to feel uncomfortable. It releases serotonin in your body and it’s that good feeling that you get when essentially you do something that essentially is uncomfortable. What happens is, the body doesn’t know how long it’s going to take so that serotonin is regulating your system for the next three hours. So you’re really productive in your morning.

For the shower thing, I turn it on warm for about two minutes and then I can I go back to really cold for a minute. That initiates that serotonin response. I do that and then I get on with my day and I’m seeing clients probably five hours out of my day. That’s roughly my morning routine.

Dr. Trevor:            Yes, that’s great. I love that. I think that it’s true that a lot of … having that energy and that motivation and living life to the fullest is is a mindset thing. That if we can reset that with NLP and some of those kinds of practices I think it’s great. Of course, at the same time supporting the body and addressing the root causes and hormone imbalances, nutritional deficiencies. All those kinds of root causes that we want to address to support the body at the same time. That mindset peace I think is a big part of it too. Because I can give people diet, lifestyle recommendations, and supplements, and even medications or whatever, wellness program, but if it’s not within their mindset, if they’re not motivated on their own and taking those steps themselves then there’s nothing that’s going to … they’re not going to get the most out of those recommendations.

I appreciate what you’re talking about and I love this idea of a daily routine to help get you into that motivated state. So many of us get up in the morning and we drag ourselves around and we … “Where’s the coffee? Can I have the coffee?” Then it’s just sitting around maybe watching a little TV or just not a lot to get us going in the morning. If instead you get going with a routine like you have. It might sound hard to do at first but once you try it and once you do it and you see the benefits of it I think it’s a lot easier to stick with it.

Some of the things that you talk about are our naturopathic kinds of routines that have been recommended for many, many years. Tradition naturopaths used to talk about how important it was to get up in the morning and go walk through the grass and nature, and to do hydrotherapy like you’re talking about with the warm alternating with the cold. Always end with a cold blast.

I love that. Taking traditional naturopathic kinds of practices and putting it into modern day that we can still use those kinds of things. They’re not outdated. Actually, there’s a reason for that. You mentioned some of the neurochemical and the hormonal changes that happen with the hydrotherapy, but also it helps with increasing blood flow and circulation lymph flow. It’s going to help our body on a physical level that way too.

Dr. Matthew:      Exactly. I think it’s so powerful because, like you said, these aren’t new ideas. These are things that really our ancestors did and I think that’s such a powerful thing as well. If anybody out there has has read Weston A. Price’s work, he went around the world and he was looking at native people in certain areas. He went to Sweden, he went to Denmark, he went to Austria, and he basically looked at these people and looked at what they did. He studied how they had such healthy hygiene specifically in the mouth.

What he found is that these people weren’t brushing their teeth, which is crazy. If you look at these pictures, I mean, these people have vibrant smiles. It blew me away when I first saw them. I’m like, “How in the world do these people not brush their teeth?” The fact is what they were doing was, is they had adopted what their ancestors’ ancestors had done. They were eating native to their land, they were thinking correctly, they were moving correctly, they were eating correctly.

Health is really that simple. Is that when we follow these guidelines that our ancestors have adopted … Nature is brilliant, nature is not stupid. If we follow what nature has done and what nature has set in place for us to do, I think it changes the whole game of healthcare, really, and how we actually look at healthcare in our world. We look at healthcare as, “Wait until something bad happens then do something about it.” When the fact is is that it’s never meant to operate that way. We were meant to go on a journey. Health is a journey, it’s not a destination. We continue to live within healthcare system.

Healthcare not meaning drugs, surgery, more drugs, more surgery. Healthcare meaning, “Yeah, we’re going to take care of our bodies. We’re going to adopt practices that are going to get us closer to health every single day.” Starting with baby steps. It doesn’t have to be, “Clear out your entire pantry and go all organic and start killing animals in your backyard to eat wild meat and whatever it is.” People go a little bit nuts with it but I think that it just starts with one step that you do and then you build on that step and you build on that step and you continue to build the wall.

One of my mentors always said, “If you’re gonna build a wall don’t start by thinking of the wall, start by thinking of the brick.” You’re going to lay one brick today and you are going to lay that brick as best as you possibly can. You’re going to make sure it’s perfect today. Then the next day you’re going to lay another brick, and that brick is going to be even more amazing than the last brick you laid. By the time you’re done you’re going to have this amazing beautiful wall. I think health is very much like that. You just take it in baby steps.

Dr. Trevor:                              I agree. We can visualize the wall. We can see the wall as an end goal. But it can be overwhelming at the same time to think, “Oh, my gosh, I have to build a wall. I have to change completely my lifestyle of myself and my family and I know they’re not going to want to do it either.” It can be daunting so if you just start with one thing. When it comes to families, if people listening have a family. If you start laying those bricks, if you start making those changes then your family is going to see it, and a lot of them they’ll start to follow.

Dr. Matthew:                        Huge, yes.

Dr. Trevor:            When you think about laying those first bricks, what are some places people can start, some practical things that people can start doing today to create that foundation?

Dr. Matthew:      One of the things that I teach early on in my program is I teach mnemonics. I teach how to memorize things. Because, again, it can get very complicated very easily when you’re going to the grocery stores. What happens is I think we walk in the grocery store and we get really overwhelmed especially walking in the whole foods because everything seems healthy. It just seems like you can just grab anything off the shelf and it’s healthy. You and I both know that’s not the case as wonderful as whole foods is.

The key is, and this is what I teach in my shopping programs, I’ll sometimes walk groups of people or have executives flying with their families and will actually walk around grocery stores and I’ll show them how to shop. One of the things that we do is we always lift up the product … this is my iPhone not a box of anything. We look at the fat, protein, we look at the sugars, the carbs and we say, “Oh, great, low carb, you know, not a lot of sugar, great.” I always say, “Look at the other side and look at the ingredients list.” This is probably something you teach as well. I know in your book that you’re coming out with … you also talk about that, is that there are hidden toxins in foods and if we don’t know what to look for a lot of times we get lost in the carbs sugars protein thing. We want to look at the other side of the box. I always say, “Look at the other side of the box when you’re actually shopping.”

I also give a tip, “Do the horseshoe.” Don’t actually go in the center of the grocery store, go around the grocery store, because often times what’s on the outskirts of the grocery store is the healthy stuff. That’s your produce. In public it’s tricky because you have to pass the bakery to get to the good stuff. You got to go through the [inaudible 00:22:49] in order to get to the good stuff. But you go around and you’re going to hit produce, you’re going to hit meats. Then if you need to go to the center of the grocery store go to the center but make sure maybe it’s like 10-15% of your shopping instead of 75%, because most people go to the center.

Speaking about mnemonics there is one great mnemonic, it’s called ‘Meet Fat Sally’ and Sally is a cow. Meet Fat Sally, MFS, and Sally is a cow. What that means is that you want to focus on four things whenever you’re looking into your nutritional regimen. You want to look at your meats. You want to make sure your meat is 100% organic. Very important nowadays, you want to make sure it’s humanely raised and killed. It’s very important. Even if you can get that label. I forget what it is the company it’s approved by, but it’ll have like humanely raised even sometimes humanely killed. That’s really important.

The reason we want organic grass-fed meat is because the DHA, the Omega-3s are through the roof, and the omega-6 ratio is in balance. Meaning that the minute it touches your tongue, the minute you consume that meet it’s going to benefit your body right away. Fats, you want to make sure that you’re consuming good fats, avocados, nuts seeds, olive oil. Go more towards the Mediterranean style fats. Really, really important because we know that that’s also going to benefit your cells. Your cell wall is made up of tiny lipids and those lipids need fats. Your brain is 70% fat, your brain is 70% cholesterol so the fact is that we need cholesterol in our diet as well, really important.

Sugars, we consume a lot of false sugars, we consume a lot fake sugars. If you’re consuming equal or splenda … Here a really funny story if I can just chime in for a second. When I was seven-eight years old my aunt would take … she would take the little pink packets. I forgot what they’re called. The little pink packets of fake sugar on the table, I think it’s called Sweet’N Low. Do you Sweet’N Low? Okay. She would take Sweet’N Low, she would pour it around her house. I remember asking her, “Why are you pouring that around the house?” It would kill the ants in her house. The ants would take it and it would kill off the [herd 00:25:19]. That’s how nasty that stuff is.

Just to give you an idea, you want to avoid those fake sugars. Then you want to be consuming either Stevia, is a really good sweetener, Xylitol, as long as it’s from beets or Birchwood. Xylitol can be bleached and sent over from other countries, you don’t want to have that. You really going to watch the source there so I’m careful with Xylitol. Then you also want to minimize your consumption of syrups or honey, just use a little bit of that. I tend to stick towards Stevia, that’s my go-to.

You want to be concerned with the type of dairy that you’re consuming. I a lot of times tell people to steer away from dairy if you can’t get it raw if you can’t get it from a local farmer. Because a lot of times even organic milk … We have this massive trend right now, if you’re buying organic it’s wonderful for you. The fact is that’s still not the case, there’s a lot of organic products that can be injected with hormones, antibiotics, vaccinated cows. All that bio-accumulates in cow then the person eats it drinks it. Now we have these crazy enough 11 12 13-year-old girls that have already fully matured. It’s not natural and it’s because we have so many kids on milk products.

We need to realize that if we get those four things right, number one, now all of a sudden it does not become overwhelming because you can take one of those things and start doing it right away. Some people say, “Well, it’s so expensive to eat organic and all that stuff.” It’s really not. You just got to take it step-by-step, you don’t do it all one time. Find a local farmer and get a list. Make a list of what’s the most important things you need to do right now. I would say those four things are probably the most important. Write them down and figure out a way where you can start incorporating things little by little into your diet.

Dr. Trevor:            That’s great. Those are some great tips. If people start there and eat more vegetables … and that’s another big thing that I tell people. If you can just eat more vegetables then you’re probably going to be pushing out something else. That’s what you’re talking about, shopping in that [inaudible 00:27:42] of the store you’re going to be getting more of the produce, and fresh vegetables, and fruit thing. That’s great, that’s fantastic. When it comes to fitness where would you say is a good place to start?

Dr. Matthew:                        I will tell you that, I work a lot of very busy people. They’re thinking, “Okay, I’m putting all my eggs into one basket with the nutrition portion of it” or “I’m doing the sleep portion of it.” But I think it’s really important to know that fitness is not time for results. I think we tend to go there. We tend to think I have to put tons of time into my fitness in order to get results. That’s not true at all.

Most of the executives that I work with, I’ve gotten them on a program that is centered around burst training. I’ll tell you that burst training is the most effective way to build muscle and burn fat. I also supplement that regimen with a ketosis type of diet plan. Where we’re really increasing fat in the diet as well. Just specifically talking on exercise, I think it’s so important that you focus on intensity. Number one, you want to increase human growth hormone and that is most active in the morning. If you can wake up in the morning and do your workouts do it because it will burn more fat. You’ll burn fat, you’ll build muscle a lot easier than if you were going to do it at 4 or 5 o’clock or maybe after work.

I recommend not doing exercise after work because your brain is fatigued, you’re just not there mentally. You’re ready to relax, you’re ready to go home. I get it done first thing in the morning. Some people it works for but for me it doesn’t work like that. For most people I work with it never works like that either. I would say if you’re going to do it at a gym that’s also something that’s really important. Making sure you’re in an environment where you can get your mind right and that you’re not thinking about other things.

If you can work out in your home that’s wonderful. Women tend to be better at that than men are, working out at home. You multitask, you can think about … you’re going to do it at the grocery store and you can lift weights at the same time. Guys will end up dropping a dumbbell on their head and knocking ourselves out or something. I know that for men we have to stay focused on our workouts. But if you can exercise at home that’s wonderful.

You can do things that are really beneficial for you without weights. You can you know do push-ups for time. You can see how many push-ups you can crank out for time. You can do Squat Jacks, meaning you squat, you get your knees real squatty and you start to do … or Prison Jacks, they call them, where you’re actually squatting and jumping jacks in the same time. You can do handstand push-ups, you can do Spiderman push-ups. You can do sprints. You can do mountain climbers where you’re on your hands, almost like in a push-up position, and then you bringing your knees to your chest.

The strategy is you want to change up the exercise every minute. You want to do Squat Jacks for one minute as fast as you can, right into push-ups as fast as you can. Right into mountain climbers as fast as you can, right into good-mornings as fast you can. Good-morning is like when you’re bending at the hip, you’re going all the way down to where your stomach is parallel to the ground and you’re lifting back up again. It’s really good for the hamstrings, it’s really good for the low back.

The key is you want to change up your exercises. You can do this routine anywhere. Walk into your local gym and make sure you get a routine done. That’s another key, is that you want to make sure you have a game plan. I call it a war plan. war plan is what I’m going to do for the week and what times I’m going to do it at. I know that if I sway from that then my day just starts to get wary, because then I’m like, “Oh, well, you know, maybe I’ll do this or maybe I’ll do that.” I start to get a little flighty and Flaky. If you have a war plan you stick to it. You will get in the gym, you will get work done. It’s not a time to talk either. A lot of people treat it as a social hour. You want to get in and get out, you want to get results.

If I ask anybody, “Why are you going to the gym or do you want to be in the gym?” They are like, “I don’t want to be here. This is no place I want to hang out. I want to get my work done or move on with my life. I want to socialize with my friends. I want to spend time with my spouse.” Whatever it is. Get in get out, and that’s really important to have a game plan and approach to exercise. When you do that you’re going to see a difference because it’s a full body workout. It’s a full-body functional workout. You’re not only working the chest muscles, the back muscles, the abs, the legs, you’re working everything at the same time.

Why would you ever go into a gym and just work one body part? That takes so long. Whey not multitask? I’ll tell you, all the guys who are doing it right like [Marxist 00:32:39] and my friend Ben Greenfield, all those guys, they do full-body functional fitness. They are in the best shapes of their lives. I’ll tell you, when I put someone on programs like this they’re in all because they’re thinking, “Okay, it’s just going to be another exercise program.” They end up doing it and then they’re just blown away because they’re like, “This is burning more fat than I ever have before, muscle building more than I ever have before. How do I do more of this?” It’s really cool the results that you get from it.

Dr. Trevor:                              Great, fantastic. With the first training, just to clarify, when you’re doing a minute of each of these exercise are you resting in between?

Dr. Matthew:                        You’re not resting, you’re going right into the next one.

Dr. Trevor:                              Okay. So you do a minute and then switch to another one. It’s all high-intensity, you’re not doing any kind of break some chain.

Dr. Matthew:      Yes. I do six exercises. The regiment that I found works the best is you plan six exercises and then after the sixth exercise, you take about a minute and a half break. Then you go right into the same exercises another six times. The workout ends up being about 15 minutes.

Dr. Trevor:            All right, got it. Thanks for clarifying on that. I know that for women going to the gym the only … One of the benefits of getting out of your house and going to the gym or going somewhere else is, I think that a lot of women are very social. We tend to be social and we do better if we have a buddy to workout with. That kind of thing I think is motivating for women. That’s just one other thing I would add, but thank you so much for your information. Dr. Matt, tell everybody how they can find out more about you.

Dr. Matthew:      You can go to my podcast Superhuman Entrepreneur and you can listen to a bunch of high performers that invest their time each week with us to talk about biohacking the body, nutrition, exercise, all those things. You can also go to elevays.com/consulting to find out more about what I do. You can also go to bit.ly/draccurso to find out what type of lab testing I recommend. I also give some pointers as to how to get healthy by looking deep into the core of who you are. Whether it be different testing like blood, urine, stool, things like that. I give recommendations on that side as well.

Dr. Matthew:                        My pleasure. I had a blast.

If you haven’t done so already I highly recommend you get your own customized skin report at theskinquiz.com. It’s  free and it’s just a 10-question quiz where you find out your skin type and what root causes might be holding you back from having that clear glowing skin. Also, I’d love to invite you to join me on social media, on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube. Join the conversation, I’m on all of these platforms. I’d love for you to join me and I’ll see you next time on The Spa Doctor podcast.
