Okay, so how old are you now?

You said you became a congressman in your 40s.

So I imagine you're still like, what, 44, 45?

42.

42.

43.

Okay, you're not old, first of all.

So

you're not old.

At what point, Days?

You know,

I mean, listen, well, you're not 25, but like, you know, by the way, did you hear that 50 is the new 35?

Have you heard that?

And I believe it.

And I'm going to live.

I'm going to hold you to that.

Well, listen, so that means like you're actually really only 30 or 29, really.

28.

Jay-Z had a song that came out.

I said,

40 is the new 30.

That was a while ago.

Now they've moved it up.

They moved it from 50 to 35.

Yeah.

Yeah, they moved it up.

So, okay, so then that's why.

So what do you, what time do you wake up in the morning then?

And also,

that means you're intermittent fast.

So you have no coffee, no water, no nothing until four?

I do coffee and water.

Oh, you do?

Okay.

But are you intermittent fasting or just like not eating food?

I

intermittent fast for 20 hours a day.

So I do 20 hours from my last meal.

Right.

So that's what I'm saying.

You You do the one meal, but are you putting like anything in the coffee or just drinking black coffee?

Black coffee.

Oh, okay.

Old school black army.

Black coffee.

Wow.

And I will, I, when I started doing this, I will admit it was spiritual.

That's how you really get to find.

Oh, yes.

It is tough.

It is tough.

Uh, after about a month of doing it now, I, this is, I, I can't see it in your other way.

Really?

Have you tried Prolon?

I have not.

Oh, you haven't?

No.

Because Because

you do like this one meal a day.

Prolon's like a fasting, you know, it's like a whole fasting system, but there's a lot of backed studies and it has more research and science than I think any other fasting program in terms for its longevity.

And so I haven't tried it yet, but I want to because a lot of times on this podcast, people do fast.

They tell me that they fast, intermittent fasts, water fasts.

But so I did a ton of research and that was Prolon has have, does have the most backed research on all these like longevity benefits and like and what i'm talking about too is like that works for me though that that's not for everybody i mean and i've yeah of course you gotta try it's like trial and error i've tried it all i've tried six more meals a day this i've done it all and then over time i found out given my life my schedule what i have to do how busy my days are all the travel this is what works for me yeah well the thing is also i think when people are so busy like you and travel a lot and when i'm in these like boats where i'm traveling a lot

you can really like, you know, you can easily, you know, see, you can gain five to 10 pounds without even blinking an eye because you're not paying attention, right?

And like your circanian rhythm's off, you have lunches all the time, you have dinners all the time.

Everything is being, you're, you're eating at restaurants and takeout or die, you know, like you're never, you're not eating at home.

So right away, you have to add 500 calories to each meal.

It's off top.

Yes.

It's off the top.

So like, I like what you're doing.

You're basically saying, in order to kind of like stay on point, this is what works for me.

Yeah.

Cause otherwise, you can like, that's why I want my not, my thing is, I, I never make a light, I never have breakfast meetings.

I always want to have the same breakfast.

And even like dinner meetings, I don't love, and I never go for drinks.

I'll go for like a coffee or go for something like that, but I'll never like go for too much.

The alcohol is what crushes you.

Alcohol will kill your games.

Oh, well,

it will cross.

You could be doing everything right.

And then you, you add that alcohol element, and then you're like, forget it.

You know, and also, because also your inhibitions are lower, right?

So you're like, ah, fine, forget it.

I'll have that piece of pizza, or oh, fine, I'll have that French fry.

Oh, yeah,

or one drink turns to five, or one drink turns to five, exactly.

Either one.

I'm much more of a food person, so I see how it affects my food intake, not so much my alcohol intake.

But yes, that's true.

Let's quickly talk about a health issue that affects almost all of us, fiber deficiency.

Did you know that 95% of people don't get enough fiber in their daily diet?

I was shocked when I learned this because fiber is truly the foundation of overall wellness.

It's not just about keeping our digestion smooth and regular, although of course that's super important.

But fiber also nourishes the good bacteria in our gut.

It supports a balanced microbiome, helps us feel fuller for longer, which makes managing our weight even easier.

And it even improves our energy by optimizing nutrient absorption and stabilizing our blood sugar.

That's why I am really excited to share Biome's Daily Prebiotic Fiber with you.

This product makes meeting your daily fiber needs simple, enjoyable, and super effective.

With eight grams of fiber per serving plus gut-friendly prebiotics, it's designed to close that fiber gap in your diet and support your digestion and gut health every single day.

And it fits effortlessly into your routine.

Just mix it in the morning smoothie or tea or coffee or afternoon snack and you're good to go.

I love that it's so easy to prepare and you can incorporate with literally every busy lifestyle.

So if you want to make getting fiber easy, visit Biome, that's B-I-O-M-E dot com and enter code Jennifer20 for 20% off your first order of daily prebiotic fiber.

So you do one meal a day.

Are you a cardio person or you just do whatever?

I'm a 10,000 a day step person.

Okay, so 10,000

five days a week, 10,000 steps at least.

Okay, so are you doing that on like a treadmill?

Are you just walking everywhere what are you doing yeah at some point um at some point in my apartment or i have a treadmill at my house so at some point in the morning after i wake up at some point i knock out two miles two to three miles on the treadmill and usually i'm on the phone doing work taking calls that kind of stuff knock that out on the treadmill and then i do a mile walk before my workout and then a mile walk after my lifting workout right so you're breaking it up so much better for you yeah yeah it keeps you active and then whenever i'm up in dc i mean i've already i mean I don't know how many, um, how long I've walked today, I've already walked just walking around DC, walking to the Capitol and back, walking through the airport now.

I mean, I'm already probably three miles in, but I'm already up here.

And that's amazing.

Yes, I'll hit the gym and then I'll do a mile before and a mile after.

Yeah.

So like you're, are you doing splits?

What's your workout?

So my splits are three on, three on, one off, three days on, one day off.

And then it's uh,

my first day is uh usually a leg day, quad heavy, leg day.

The second day is a chest and tricep day.

Third day is a back and a bicep day, then a day off, then shoulders, then another, that shoulders, then arm day, and then another leg day, which is a hamstring heavy day, and then a day off.

Like it.

Okay.

And so are you,

how long is each workout?

45 minutes to an hour.

Okay.

Do you take supplements?

Do you take anything?

Lots of white protein, creatine, and glutamine.

Oh, okay.

That's all?

Yeah, that's it.

Okay.

So you're not taking omega-3.

You're not taking omega-3.

You're not taking vitamin D?

No, no.

And I am a big fish and a big steak eater.

So I get a lot of those macronutrients.

Oh, okay.

So you're,

well, you're only having one meal a day, though.

How much can you get?

Like, don't you have, are you deficient in anything?

No, because this meal is a

big meal.

It's a

big reason.

point my best friend is up here with me he works he works with me in the office i mean the other day two days in a row i mean i had a 33 hour stay two days oh my god are you joking oh no i'm i'm dead serious like last night i had i had a i had a i had a

whole

rotisserie chicken

That's like 70 grams of protein.

I ate an entire rotisserie chicken yesterday.

My wife is like, she's like, what is this?

I was like, you need to get two of those because one's for me and then one's for y'all.

That's awesome.

In my body, I think people are pro everybody is different.

So a lot of people can't process all that protein in one sitting.

And I've heard a lot of people say, you know, your body can only process up to 50 grams of protein every three hours.

I think that's a generalization, depending on your blood type, your activity, what your body gets used to.

Every human being is different.

That has worked out.

That has worked wonders for me.

I mean, it is a massive i mean it's a massive

i love that first of all i'm a massive eater so i mean i can probably like i can probably take that down but like i think because you've been i'm so active also like i i know people say a lot of things you shouldn't have this you should do that

everyone has their own opinion but everyone is so different right like i i can Like I'll have, I can have four chicken breasts in one sitting before somebody even has their third bite, just because that's how I am.

I eat so fast too.

That's the problem.

I'm like a huge eater, and I ate fast.

Like, and there's like everyone says, Slow down, slow down.

But like, when you're hungry, you're hungry.

So, I get it.

I get that.

33 ounces.

So, what do you have with the steak?

Do you have vegetables or do you have?

So, I had 33 ounces of steak.

I had it, I had a whole sweet potato, I had broccoli, and a dinner salad.

Oh my god, that's hilarious!

That's awesome.

It is, it is, it's it's a it's an event,

It really is.

Significant, emotional event for a lot of people.

No, I love it.

Can we have dinner together?

Maybe we know it.

I would love that.

I would love that.

I would absolutely love that.

Like, where do you go?

What's your favorite steak?

Like, tell me the best places.

My favorite steak.

So I eat at two restaurants when I'm up here in D.C.

One of them

is Joe's Seafood,

Stone Crab and Seafood.

Oh, my God.

I love that place too.

That place.

It's the best restaurant in D.C.

in my humble opinion.

I love that place.

And then they have a porterhouse, 33-ounce porterhouse.

They have a bone-in-rip eye.

They have stone crab claws.

There's a very high-protein meal steep, by the way.

Very high-protein.

Oh, I love this.

This is you and I are on the same page.

Great.

It is.

It is wonderful.

And actually, what's really funny, I actually went out to eat with one of my supporters one day, and then he just sat there and watched me.

He's like,

oh, I love that.

I've never seen anything like this before in my entire life.

That's amazing.

What other places do you like?

Have you been to anywhere in LA yet?

Have you been to, do you get steak here?

So

Mastros

in that area is a really, one of my favorite.

Yeah, I like Mastros.

That's really good.

It's really cool.

So I happen to be the congressman for the owner of the chain as well.

And so I get to try out all the Mastros all across the country.

Best ones in Houston and Miami.

Really?

Yeah, yeah.

Okay.

Thank you for telling me that because I didn't know that there, like, I had never been to the Mastros in Houston or Miami.

And so now that you said that, really?

Okay, I'm going to try that.

Okay, when you come here, though, we're going to go to the one here.

Great.

Let's do it.

That sounds amazing.

Okay, so we got the steak part down.

How about all the other stuff?

Like, do you do any kind of sauna, cold plunge, red light, any of those things?

I do.

So whenever.

Whenever I'm up here in DC, there is a sauna down here.

And after my workouts, I'll do 15 minutes on a sauna.

Okay, no cold plunge, not yet.

No, I hate that thing.

I gotta toughen up.

Oh, it's so terrible.

Again, pilot army guy.

Like, I got tough enough for the cold.

Isn't that crazy?

I know.

I'm gonna say, I mean, for whatever reason, that cold just

I can do hot all day, but the cold just it's so difficult.

It's great.

I've done it a few times.

Yeah, afterward, it's great.

Afterward,

it's so ready, but during, it's rough.

Really rough.
