Joe Rogan Experience #438 - Dr. Mark Gordon

Hey, everybody. What's up? How are you? There's too many people to answer, but
this episode
of the Joe Morgan Experience broadcast is brought to you by Ting. Ting is a
cell phone
company that we've had sponsor our podcast for quite a while, and we've had
nothing but
positive reviews. I think that's one of the most important things about when
you have a
podcast. I mean, what is a podcast? Just people talking, having a conversation,
talking about
entertainment, whatever it is, if you have an ad on it, it gets really tricky.
You have
to make sure that whatever you're using, whatever you're endorsing, it's got to
be legit. One
of the nicest things is when you have a podcast sponsor and you get positive
feedback. I thank
you for that feedback. Even the negative stuff, I don't mind it. It's important.
Having this
open loop like that with people is huge. Everyone that I've turned on to Ting
has said that it
saved the money. What Ting does is they use the Sprint backbone. They have a
really good cell
phone network, and then they do it their way. They do it without contracts. You
can cancel
at any time. It's a mobile company that makes sense, a no BS mobile company.
They don't have
early termination fees. They don't have bundling. No bullshit. Really simple.
You pay for what you
use. It's cheap. 98% of people would save money if they use Ting. That's legit.
Chris Ryan, who's a good
thing? Him and Duncan Trussell and I are doing a podcast tomorrow together.
Chris switched over to
Ting, and he fucking loves it. He was like, it's so much cheaper. Red Band
switched over and saved a
shitload of money when he was in Canada. It's a sweet, sweet, sweet cell phone
company. And you can
save $25 if you go to rogan.ting.com. Save $25 off their super sweet Android
phones. They use all the top
of the line Android phones like the HTC One, the Samsung Galaxy Note, the Note
3, which is the one that I have, the S4.
All really sweet devices. You miss nothing. Rogan.ting.com. We're also brought
to you by
Hover. Hover is a domain name company. It's actually the domain name company
that I use. They have an awesome
online interface. It's super intuitive, really easy to use. And it's owned by
the same people that own
Ting. And they have the same sort of philosophy. Give people a good product and
don't rip them off.
It's possible. Like you can have a frictionless relationship between the people
who have things
like Hover and the people who need things like us. And if you're looking for a
domain name, if you're
looking to register a domain name, you cannot do better than Hover. They also
have free who is
domain name privacy, which it should be. I mean, that should be standard, but
it was in the beginning.
Hover, make sure it is. Awesome website. And again, by the same people that run
Ting, I have my stuff
registered there. And if you need to register anything there, they also can set
it up for you.
You can move domain names if you have it registered somewhere else. And you're
like, I don't like what
these people do. Or you got put on some mailing list or some crazy shit. Things
happen. Things happen,
folks. But Hover, always been there for me. I've enjoyed Hover for a long time.
We have new promo codes
for Hover for this episode. So we're going to have different ones for different
episodes. I guess they're
trying to figure out which episodes were more effective. They're target
marketing, ladies and
gentlemen. For this episode, it's the word powerful. So go and use the word
powerful and save some money
at Hover. Again, I endorse them. I use them. And as I endorse Ting, same cell
phone company or same
company that owns a cell phone company also owns Hover. You can try 30 days of
Google apps on your
domain for free at Hover and see if you like it. There's a lot of really cool
things about Hover.
Go check it out. Be one with it. And use the code word powerful.
Whew. Drink too much coffee. We're also brought to you by Onnit.com, ladies and
gentlemen.
Yeah, that's right. Onnit, if you haven't been there for a while, we've got a
lot of cool things
like we have digestive enzymes that we started selling. And Dr. Gordon, I'm
sure, knows all
about this stuff. Strength and conditioning equipment. Essentially, what Onnit

My friend, this, ladies and gentlemen, this is my friend, Dr. Mark Gordon. And
Mark Gordon
is, you're not just a doctor, you're a fascinating dude. And when I first met
you, one of the first
things I said, I was like, this motherfucker needs his own podcast. Because you
can just
talk. Nobody can spit out information. I've never, I've been alive for 46 years.
Never met
a guy who can spit out as much impressive information as you that quickly when
it comes to like the
body. It's my escape. At home, I have four women. So who gets to talk at home?
Right. Not me. Yeah. So outside the world, I get to share
what I do. Inside you get shut down? I get shut down.
Wow. But you have a lot of information, dude. Every time I talk to you, I wish
I had like a
notebook or I wish I was recording it. Because I always try to remember as much
as possible. And
you've given me some great advice as far as, you know, health and fitness and
exercise and all
sorts of different, you know, things that you know about. But I always walk
away from every
conversation and go, I know I forgot something. I know I didn't remember
something. Like the last
time we were talking, you were telling me about some shit that helps your liver
after you drink
and you take this. What is this? What is it? Unbelievable. Glutathione. Pull
that thing
closer to your face so people hear you better. Glutathione. Glutathione. And
that helps your
liver when you drink alcohol? Well, it helps you with just about anything that
the liver is responsible
for digesting or metabolizing. As you metabolize certain drugs, chemicals, and
so forth, the liver
uses up its ability to continue the process. So it spills over into the blood
and that's how you get,
you know, drunk. Because your liver can only deal with a certain amount. So if
you replenish or replace
the glutathione in the liver, you get incredible benefits of it. Not only does
it help with metabolism,
but it's an incredible antioxidant for the brain and for the eyes and for the
heart.
What is it made out of? It's three amino acids that are together. It's in our
body,
but we don't have enough of it to really generate the metabolism that we need
if we're drinking.
Now where do they get that? Where do they get glutathione? Because I know Dave
Asprey's really
into that stuff too. He has a version of it. Yeah, it's manufactured. But how
do they make it?
What is it? Well, it's three amino acids that they put together. And the
products that we interact with
are, it's a delivery technology where you wrap the vitamins or you wrap the
supplement in a,
what's called a liposome, which is like a cell wall. It's from lecithin, it's
from soy,
and it protects whatever it is that you're ingesting. Because a lot of the
things that you take,
like I think I shared with you, if you take a thousand milligrams of vitamin C
by mouth,
you only absorb 19%. The rest of it's destroyed by the acid that's in the
stomach. But if you wrap
it in this protection called the liposome, you'll be able to absorb 93%. So
taking something like
glutathione, which normally when you take it in, in its natural form, it's
destroyed. Most of it is
destroyed and then absorbed and then remanufactured in the blood. But if you
wrap it in this protective
out of coating, a liposome, you can absorb it more readily. And the effects are
unbelievably positive.
For instance, a gentleman who went out drinking three high balls and five shots
of tequila went home
and subsequently was very dizzy, nauseous. He forgot that I gave him a sample
of this glutathione.
And he used four puffs under the tongue, held it for 30 seconds, and then 30
minutes later,
clears the bell, woke up the next day, went out partying again, couldn't get
drunk.
What? That sounds like nonsense.
It isn't nonsense.
I wish I was smart enough to call you on your bullshit.
Talk to my office. Aaron will tell you everything.
That sounds crazy. Maybe that guy was lying. Maybe he wasn't that drunk.
Well, I can't tell you who it was if I told you who it was.
You would know? He's a hammer fist? He knows how to throw him down?
He knows how to throw him down.
Well, you're giving people some false hope, man. You're telling them take glutathione
and don't worry about you're drinking.
Well, no. Everything in moderation. But if you go across that line, you need to
have something to fall back onto.
I need to try that now. But I don't want to get drunk enough to try it.
I'm scared to get drunk enough to try it. But it sounds like a smart thing to
try.
You know, for years, I take the kids to Mexico every year and I take a bottle
of scotch with me.
And I sit and read a book and drink the scotch over a period of a couple hours
and I turn the bottles empty.
My kids go and get me some mojitos and I continue drinking. I don't get drunk.
And it turned out that one of the products that I was taking had a very high
amount of reduced glutathione in it.
So when I got exposed to the glutathione world, which was just last year with a
doctor, Christopher Shade, who's one of the gurus in the area of glutathione
technology and absorption,
he introduced it to me and it made sense, reading the literature on how it
functions in the liver.
That's pretty fascinating. And there's also the dehydration that comes from
alcohol consumption.
What's the mechanism behind that?
Well, alcohol is a diuretic. It causes you to go to the bathroom.
And since you used all those colorful words earlier, I'll use the word that
makes you pee with a horse.
You mean like bad words I use?
Yeah, bad words I use.
I was going to interrupt you and say, you can say those words on this?
Yeah, this is just the internet.
Unbelievable. This is just the internet.
Well, it should be that way. I mean, if you and I were sitting down just having
a conversation, we would talk like two normal people.
Absolutely.
It's not, we're not vulgar, awful people, but occasionally the word fuck is the
right word.
Absolutely. It's the right word in about every tense of the English language.
We're robbed of that freedom by television because people are pretending by not
saying fuck on television that people don't say fuck in real life.
So you're never going to really believe what you see on television.
There's always going to be this bridge that you're not willing to cross over
because these people never swear.
It's silly. We're the same people. We're all the same people.
The people that say fuck, the people that don't say fuck. You don't like to say
it? Don't say it.
It's no big deal.
Thank you, George Carlin.
Yeah. Jesus Christ. It should have been figured out a long time ago, but it's
not.
So yeah, you could say fuck on this.
Too anal retentive. Well, I use words like anal retentive instead of assholes.
That's not a good word.
It isn't? Okay, fine.
Anal retentive means a totally different thing.
You can't call a person an asshole if they're just fucking like to clean their
hands.
So anyway, alcohol has a couple of thing
