Are you struggling to see the results you want from your fitness routine despite putting in the work? Dr. Akanni Salako joins the Sway in the Morning team to break down why consistency and functional movement are the keys to a total life transformation. From the benefits of strength training to the power of a simple daily walk, this session is packed with expert wellness advice to help you elevate your quality of life.
In this episode, the team discusses the common fears many people have about lifting weights and why the fear of accidentally bulking up often holds us back from real progress. Akanni Salako explains the science of fat loss using a powerful bucket of water analogy, helping you understand why your body might be changing even if you do not see it in the mirror yet. We also hear a personal testimonial from Xzibit about his health journey and how simple changes like walking 45 minutes a day and moderating alcohol made a massive difference in his physique and mental clarity.
The conversation dives deep into the importance of functional movements like squats and hinges to ensure longevity as you age. Whether you are curious about the reality of weight loss medications like Ozempic, interested in the benefits of monitoring testosterone levels, or just looking for natural ways to handle muscle soreness with anti-inflammatory foods, this interview covers it all. Dr. Salako emphasizes that while there are no shortcuts to health, building a sustainable lifestyle will always yield the best long-term results.

Yeah, man. I love that man. I love
0:01
talking with this guy, man. Dr. Connie
0:04
Salako is here. Yes. He's been our
0:06
resident doctor
0:08
uh for quite some time now.
0:10
>> Yeah, man.
0:11
>> months, right? He's been doing his thing
0:13
since we started the new year. Wellness
0:14
expert, founder, and head wellness coach
0:16
of The Wellness Lab. Um and they're
0:19
dedicated to helping women elevate their
0:20
health and quality of life. But a lot of
0:23
the information they give men, we could
0:24
benefit from, too.
0:26
>> Yes. Right?
0:27
>> Yes. And as Woman to Woman Wednesday,
0:28
I'm going to pass it to a woman. Heather
0:30
B.
0:30
>> Woah, woah, woah, woah. And shout out to
0:31
Tracy G, of course, uh smart part of the
0:34
Sway in the Morning team. Um I was
0:36
saying to the citizens uh before we
0:38
started this segment that I've been a
0:41
part of Dr. Salako's program since
0:43
January, since the top of the year. And
0:46
it's
0:47
challenging, you know, just being
0:49
honest. It's challenging because you
0:50
don't always feel like it. I've said
0:52
that before. And depending on your body
0:55
type, and maybe you could correct me,
0:57
Dr. Salako, you don't see the results as
1:00
fast as you would like. And I know it's
1:02
not snap your fingers and 10 lb is gone.
1:05
It It has to be a consistent thing. And
1:08
I thought that I was doing a lot um from
1:10
January to March. And then I called you
1:15
and you said to me, "I have You have to
1:17
start adding in the weights."
1:19
>> Yep. And I just didn't want to do it,
1:21
you know, um out of misinformation,
1:23
[snorts]
1:24
out of fear, you know, that I would walk
1:26
around looking like She-Man. I didn't
1:27
want to do that, either. So,
1:30
I I I took your advice as you
1:32
instructed.
1:33
>> Oh, would you stop? And be sure to tell
1:35
them Large Marge said chuck. You know,
1:38
um
1:38
>> [clears throat]
1:38
>> and I I noticed that first of all, how
1:42
much I needed it. But I wasn't used to
1:46
um the soreness that it would come even
1:48
with like 5 and 10 lb because it's like,
1:51
"Who can't lift 5 lb?" But when you're
1:53
doing it at a
1:54
>> You're doing the reps and Yes, you just
1:56
start to feel it. So, I think I, like
1:59
many people out here who may be on a
2:01
journey, you could call us up,
2:02
888-742-3345.
2:05
Encouragement sometimes. Like I don't
2:07
always want to text you, but I'm like,
2:09
"I'm not seeing
2:11
this fast enough." I know it's only been
2:13
4 months, but it sometimes you just need
2:15
a boost, Dr. Salako. Yeah. So, one, I
2:19
told you earlier when when I walked when
2:21
you walked in and I saw you, I was like,
2:22
"Yo, she look different. And you're
2:24
glowing, too." And you can We typically
2:26
see it before you see it.
2:27
>> What do you see?
2:28
>> Uh Oh, listen.
2:29
>> [laughter]
2:30
>> The hate
2:31
from D, Tracy G. I'm seeing the
2:33
progress. [laughter] I'm seeing the
2:35
progress of the work that she has put
2:37
in. And And if you look at it, always
2:39
and put it to, let's say you have a
2:41
bucket of water. And we say this water
2:43
is body fat.
2:44
In this bucket, I may take some water
2:46
away from the right side, but the
2:48
water's going to even out. I may take
2:50
some water away from the left side, but
2:51
it's still going to even out. And that's
2:53
how you look at body fat. When we're
2:54
trying to address the whole body, you
2:56
can't necessarily pick where it's going
2:57
to come from. But you're losing fat.
3:00
Some people lose it in their face first.
3:01
Some people may lose it in their ring
3:02
finger first. Some people may lose it in
3:04
their stomach. I see.
3:06
>> fat, but you may just not notice it yet
3:09
cuz it's not in the places that you're
3:10
fixated on. And that's where people
3:12
start to go off of like, "Oh, this thing
3:13
ain't working. Let me stop." Where
3:15
you're in the thick of it now. You're in
3:17
the best part where it's just
3:18
consistency that's needed. Trust the
3:21
process, Heather. Oh, yes. Yeah. Yeah,
3:24
cuz
3:24
>> Okay. Guys, wait. What? No, cuz I
3:27
it happens in my face first.
3:28
>> Mhm. When I when I start to trim down or
3:31
lean down. Yeah. You can tell cuz my my
3:34
you start seeing the chisel. Oh, wow.
3:36
>> Stop. Listen. [laughter]
3:38
If it works, it works.
3:41
The chisel, bro?
3:43
>> All right. You know what New album
3:44
alert.
3:45
>> [laughter]
3:46
>> Thank you, Mike.
3:48
Not the brad pitt chisel.
3:50
>> I think I think Dr. Salako, sometimes,
3:52
too, we
3:54
um
3:54
under value the change that we
3:56
experience internally, like the energy
3:59
difference, you know, because all of
4:01
these great hormones are also being
4:03
produced, Heather, when you're doing
4:04
your strength training. And I know a ton
4:07
of women who feel a little um I don't
4:11
know. Either intimidated by strength
4:14
training or like what Heather was
4:16
saying, they don't want to get this like
4:18
bulk that kind of defeminizes them.
4:22
Um but there's also a lot of women, too,
4:24
who I think struggle to know the
4:26
difference between discomfort
4:30
and pain. And so, discomfort is really
4:33
what what you need from the burn to be
4:36
in that zone for transformation to
4:38
really happen, you know? But then
4:40
there's like pain that's the signal that
4:42
your body really might be jeopardized
4:46
because your form is not in alignment or
4:49
maybe you have some type of joint
4:51
displacement. Can you talk about knowing
4:55
the difference in the moment? Like
4:56
giving advice for learning to push
4:58
through with the right kind of hard, but
5:01
um without ignoring signals that
5:04
something is actually wrong.
5:06
Yeah, that's a great question. So, I
5:08
tell all of my clients that I want you
5:10
to lean into the burn. Like you should
5:12
feel fatigue. You should feel tired when
5:14
you do your exercises cuz that's the
5:16
only way that we actually grow. Exercise
5:19
is breaking your muscle down. But if
5:20
you're not pushing your limits, you're
5:21
not breaking your muscle down. So, one
5:23
way to look at the difference, if I'm
5:24
doing an exercise and I feel the burn,
5:26
it should subside after about 60 seconds
5:29
of rest. If it's not subsiding, okay,
5:31
that may indicate that something else
5:32
may be going on. Okay. Wow. Man, that's
5:35
some good advice. Do you Can you reach a
5:37
limit, though? Cuz I see guys in the gym
5:40
that are just They ain't got no more
5:42
muscles to have, man.
5:43
>> [laughter]
5:43
>> You know WHAT I MEAN?
5:47
I'M JUST SAYING, BRO.
5:48
WHAT MORE CAN YOU DO?
5:50
They [laughter] just going harder and
5:52
harder until they explode, bro. It's all
5:55
It's all relative. There's a [laughter]
5:57
I forgot the um
5:58
I forgot the bodybuilder.
6:01
body to the limits. And now, he was
6:02
great. He won all the awards. He was a
6:04
IFB pro. And in his older age, he had to
6:07
have like five or six different back
6:09
surgeries.
6:09
>> Mr. Olympia?
6:10
>> I think so. Yeah.
6:11
>> The brother?
6:12
>> Yes. Oh, wow. Look him up. They did a
6:14
whole doc uh look that up for me, some
6:16
uh Lonnie Mike. I can't John, maybe
6:18
John. I can't I know keep going up.
6:19
Yeah, he pushed his body to the limits.
6:21
Like he squatted over 500 lb. He heard
6:24
something pop. And he kept squatting
6:26
over 500 lb. So, there's a limit. Like
6:29
our bodies should be able to lift a
6:31
certain amount. So, once you put that
6:33
level of mass on the amount of body I
6:35
mean, the amount of muscle that you're
6:36
carrying, amount of stress on your
6:37
joints, there is a limit, but some
6:39
people push past it. Some people hit
6:41
that wall of, "Okay, I don't necessarily
6:43
need to do this." Cuz if you think about
6:44
it, who
6:46
in your day-to-day, you're not lifting
6:48
over 225 lb in your normal day-to-day.
6:50
But we do it crazy in the gym with
6:52
deadlifts and
6:53
>> in the gym. But where [clears throat] in
6:54
life am I about to deadlift 225 lb
6:57
randomly? But when I was able to um
7:00
bench press 225, right?
7:02
>> Um this is like when I was working out,
7:04
Mike. You remember this about a year and
7:05
a half ago.
7:05
>> Yes, sir. Talk your stuff, [laughter]
7:07
man.
7:07
>> Now it's a year and a half ago. We add 6
7:09
months every time I bring it up.
7:13
Your math is crazy when it comes to your
7:16
body.
7:17
>> [laughter]
7:18
>> But I was pushing up 225. I was amazed.
7:20
I hadn't done that since I was a younger
7:21
man. Mhm. But I felt like having that
7:24
kind of strength made everything else
7:26
easier throughout my day. Yeah. Right?
7:29
>> Yeah. So, that's not stressing my body
7:30
out, though.
7:31
>> Not at all. Especially when we look at
7:33
functional movements. So, there's a
7:34
squat, push, pull, hinge, and carry.
7:37
These are activities that we do in our
7:38
day-to-day lives. When I'm in the gym
7:40
and when I'm programming things for my
7:41
clients, I want them to be able to do
7:43
the daily functional movements because
7:45
this is how they have more longevity. If
7:47
you're doing a back squat in the gym or
7:49
a goblet squat in the gym, okay, this is
7:50
going to help you be able to sit in the
7:51
chair and stand up without using your
7:53
hands. Like the little things that we do
7:55
in the gym can translate to life if
7:57
we're focusing on the functional
7:58
movements. So, is it true like the
8:00
stronger your legs are, chances are the
8:03
longer chances are you're going to live?
8:05
It I've never heard I've never seen that
8:07
particular like
8:11
you carry a significant amount of more
8:13
muscle in your legs than the rest of
8:15
your body. So, doing lower body workouts
8:17
is really great for you because one,
8:18
it's going to place more stress on your
8:20
body relation to doing like a back
8:22
exercise or doing bicep curls and stuff
8:24
like that. So, I think lower body
8:26
exercises are really great for you, as
8:27
well. Dr. Salaki is here uh Salaki Dr.
8:30
Salako is here. Salame Salako. Uh Dr.
8:34
Salako's here, 888-742-3345.
8:37
We have Lawrence on the line from
8:39
Florida. What up, Lawrence?
8:40
>> What up, Lawrence? How you doing, man?
8:41
Lawrence on the line. Lawrence, what up,
8:43
B? What up, what up, Lawrence? Hey, hey,
8:45
hey, [laughter] hey, hey, hey, hey.
8:47
What's up, man? What's your question,
8:48
bro? Caller.
8:50
Actually, uh I just wanted to to agree
8:52
with Doc, man. He's on point. Um I've
8:54
been working out since I was 19. And And
8:57
that's only cuz I was in the military.
8:59
And I I retired at 42. And um the doctor
9:02
said, "Hey, look, if you just stop
9:05
working out." Cuz most people like,
9:06
"Man, I ain't got to do it no more." He
9:07
said, "If I was to stop, my body would
9:09
go into shock." And I I'm I'll be 59 in
9:12
May. He said, "You probably won't make
9:14
it to 52 if you just stop work working
9:16
out." Wow. So, basically basically it's
9:18
a lifestyle now. I mean, I've been doing
9:20
it so long.
9:21
Uh I do Now I do like 30, 40 minutes. I
9:23
used to do like an hour to hour and a
9:25
half, but now it's 35 to 40 minutes. I
9:27
feel good. And every I do it every
9:29
morning. If I don't work out, it's like
9:31
my day I I can't I can't My day is
9:34
horrible. I mean, I'm just It's a
9:35
mindset, of course, but not that I have
9:37
a horrible day. I'm glad I woke up. Glad
9:39
God gave me another day to work out. But
9:41
it's just the fact that if I don't my my
9:43
mind says like, "Hey, you didn't work
9:45
out." And I'm just sluggish. I'm tired.
9:47
And you know, and I was And last I think
9:49
2 weeks ago, Sway, I called you about
9:50
the testosterone. And um Yes. Oh, the
9:53
TRT.
9:54
Yeah, it was 206, which is for my 206.
9:58
Yes.
9:59
Yeah, that's terrible. I should be in
10:00
the 500 range at my age, she said. And
10:03
uh they they prescribed me the the test
10:05
the test C shots. And um I take them uh
10:08
once every 2 weeks. And uh every every
10:11
They're going to do it for 6 months. So
10:13
um and so far I've been back in the gym,
10:15
feeling good, you know? So the doctor's
10:17
right. I mean, I don't know if it I
10:19
think it does bring longevity to your
10:21
life to work out. But but you I think
10:24
you've been slacking, man. I understand
10:25
you got muscles and all, but I remember
10:28
I remember a long time ago
10:30
I challenged you.
10:32
I I said I challenged you
10:34
to to knock out, you know, go once a
10:35
day. I think your boy was like, "Come
10:37
on, Sway, let's go." And you kept
10:38
>> I was doing it. I heard
10:40
You was?
10:41
Yeah, we were doing the push-up
10:42
challenge, Lonnie. Remember Lonnie, DB?
10:44
We were all Even Torch was doing it. We
10:47
all were doing it. Yeah, and then when I
10:49
left New York, they stopped.
10:51
>> Right.
10:53
>> [laughter]
10:58
>> So when they stopped, I stopped.
11:00
>> [laughter]
11:01
>> Uh DB kept going.
11:03
Yeah. But listen, I went and got that
11:06
full checkup and thank you. And
11:09
my my testosterone was normal. Uh but I
11:12
wouldn't have thought to to have done
11:14
that had you not said it. Like you all
11:17
It's a simple request, too. Like all you
11:19
got to do is request it.
11:20
Right? And so everything checked out. My
11:23
liver was good. My kidneys uh good. My
11:26
heart good. A lot of things. There's
11:28
some things I got to work on, though, uh
11:30
Lawrence. I think we all deal with you
11:32
know, the blood pressure. We got to work
11:34
on that, right? Definitely that. That
11:36
That comes from That comes from our
11:38
eating habits. You know, we love fried
11:40
chicken. We love collard greens, mac and
11:41
cheese, you know, that's just part of
11:42
our our heritage, man. That's all it is.
11:45
Yeah, that's all, but you know,
11:46
Heather's cooking different now, so
11:48
we'll be good.
11:49
All right. Hey, Lawrence, you're a super
11:51
citizen, man. Thank you, brother. All
11:53
right. Come on, man. Hey.
11:55
Is that Is that Exhibit? Dr. Salako can
11:57
attest, my blood pressure is fine. Don't
11:59
be blaming it on me cuz you
12:01
sneaking meals after I give you
12:04
something to eat. You add on more. That
12:06
is not my fault, Dr. Salako. I'm glad he
12:08
just walked in here. Exhibit just walked
12:10
in, man. Exhibit about to do the a Lord
12:12
Sear ship. Yes.
12:14
>> Yo, I'm glad he walked in
12:16
because it's Dr. Salako.
12:20
>> [laughter]
12:24
>> Have a seat. Have a seat. Yo, I'mma tell
12:26
you one of the first times I saw
12:29
somebody take charge of their health
12:31
and lean down was this man. Really? And
12:35
and and this was years ago. And I
12:37
remember asking him maybe on air, "Yo,
12:40
how did you lose so much weight?" And
12:42
you said STRESS AND DIVORCE.
12:45
>> [laughter]
12:47
>> SMOKING.
12:48
NO, NO, BEFORE THAT. BEFORE THAT.
12:50
[laughter]
12:52
YOU SAID
12:55
YO, THAT'S HILARIOUS.
12:56
>> [laughter]
12:58
>> DR. Salako said, "I didn't sign up for
13:00
this way."
13:01
>> [laughter]
13:02
>> But you said it's you were walking for
13:04
45 minutes every day.
13:06
And I said, "All you doing is walking?"
13:08
Walking and and changing diet, you know?
13:10
>> And changing diet?
13:11
>> Yeah, yeah. Alcohol played a big part,
13:13
you know? So So stopping alcohol or at
13:15
least moderating the alcohol was a big
13:17
deal for me. Okay. And then the walking
13:19
you were doing like 45 minutes
13:21
>> Yeah, I would walk to the gym instead of
13:23
jumping in the car or riding a bike.
13:25
Like I would just It was like a mile or
13:26
two away from where I live, so I would
13:28
just walk there. And then walk back, and
13:29
that was my cardio. That And people
13:31
don't feel that walking is that
13:33
effective. I'm, you know, walking
13:35
>> Walking is great. So there's a thing
13:37
called total daily energy expenditure.
13:39
If we look at all how that breaks down,
13:41
it takes into account your BMR, the food
13:43
that you burn, etc. Walking is one of
13:45
those things that helps because you're
13:46
able to burn calories throughout the day
13:48
without having to do too much. Exercise
13:50
is only going to take about 10 to 15% of
13:53
that. And you're going to be in the gym
13:54
even in a week. There's 168 hours in a
13:56
week. 5 hours of that you're going to
13:58
spend in the gym max. The rest of that
13:59
we can walk We walk everywhere. So
14:01
that's an easy way to burn more
14:02
calories, easy way to improve your
14:04
health just from walking. What is it
14:05
about walking which what I love so much,
14:08
but what I noticed
14:09
a lot of clarity. Like my I feel like
14:11
something opened up in my brain, you
14:13
know, from walking more. I just feel a
14:16
lot clearer after walks. What's the
14:18
correlation or have you heard that
14:20
before? Is there any correlation between
14:22
walking and brain clarity? Yeah, so
14:24
there's a there was a study and there's
14:25
direct correlation between how walking
14:27
can help decrease stress because of the
14:29
hormones that are released during that
14:30
period. So walking has great benefits
14:32
for stress management. It has great
14:34
benefits for just overall health in
14:35
general. That's one of the things
14:37
everyone mentions like you have to do a
14:38
certain amount of steps, but just
14:40
walking 30 to 40 minutes more than you
14:41
walked the day before or the week before
14:44
has some benefits. And the vitamin D you
14:46
get from the sunlight.
14:48
100%. Exhibit hanging out. He co-hosted
14:50
for a little bit. Now he's Yeah, he's
14:51
got his own [laughter] show. He's got
14:52
his own shift he's got to do now.
14:54
EXHIBIT, DID YOU HAVE A SCARE? Did
14:56
something happen that made you start,
14:59
you know, walking and and cutting out
15:01
this Uh I just, you know, after a while,
15:03
you know, you you get so wrapped and
15:05
involved in your day. I I started
15:07
looking in the mirror and didn't like
15:08
what I was seeing. I started, you know,
15:10
and then, you know,
15:12
I don't have any You know, my father
15:13
passed away from diabetes and other, you
15:15
know, other things. He was had, you
15:17
know, limbs amputated and all this
15:19
stuff. So So paying attention and
15:21
knowing that's, you know,
15:23
could possibly you know, come this way
15:26
as well. It just made me want to kind of
15:28
get on it early, so. I appreciate that,
15:30
man. And not to mention divorce and all
15:32
that.
15:32
>> [laughter]
15:35
>> You want to LOSE SOME WEIGHT?
15:37
>> [laughter]
15:41
>> DROP ABOUT 150 LBS. YEAH, YEAH. And the
15:44
legal fees.
15:46
>> [laughter]
15:46
>> That's like an infomercial right there.
15:49
Hey, we got
15:51
We got Pat the garbage? Is that your
15:54
name, Pat?
15:56

15:58
Oh, the garbage man. My bad.
16:00
I just see man. My bad.
16:04
Okay. [laughter] My bad, man. Thin line,
16:06

16:08

16:11
you're a first time caller.
16:13
First time, long time.
16:14
Let's go,
16:15
man. Give it Let's go, Pat the garbage
16:17
man.
16:20
Welcome to the workout session, Pat.
16:22
Now, what's your what's your question
16:24
for Dr. Salako?
16:26
Right on. I wanted to say to Heather
16:29
keep up the good work. The hardest
16:30
weight you're ever going to push is the
16:31
door to the gym.
16:33
After that, everything's easy.
16:35
Thank you, Pat. I appreciate that. Thank
16:38
you.
16:39
What's your question for the doc?
16:41
I'm wondering about peptides such as
16:44
BPC-157
16:46
and
16:48
others like that, Ipamorelin and stuff
16:50
like that. What he thinks about it? And
16:52
what's a peptide? Yeah. So with the
16:54
peptides and all of that stuff, I
16:56
haven't dove deep into peptides yet.
16:58
It's one of those things that it's going
17:00
everywhere right now, and a lot of
17:01
people are starting to talk about it,
17:02
but a lot of the research into peptides,
17:04
at least some of it that's coming out,
17:06
is still fairly new. So before I go give
17:09
information and I start to suggest
17:10
things for people, I still have to do
17:11
personal research cuz I haven't started
17:13
in incorporating it with our clients yet
17:15
just because it's one of those things
17:17
that while it's starting to be talked
17:18
about more, we can still get to the same
17:20
goals without it right now. But what is
17:22
it? Peptide. Yeah. Peptides
17:24
specifically. So there's injections and
17:26
there's different things that you can
17:27
help with with anti-aging. So it really
17:29
depends on what specifically you're
17:31
trying to improve. There's some peptides
17:33
that can help with muscle recovery.
17:34
There's some peptides that can help with
17:35
skin. So it really just depends on what
17:37
your particular goal is. Mhm.
17:39
Anti-aging. That's why a lot a lot of
17:41
That's a good That's a good question. So
17:42
so, you know, the new fad, everybody's
17:45
taking Ozempic and all these other
17:47
things. Like what's your what's what
17:49
what is what what is it? What what what
17:51
do people do? And then is it good
17:53
long-term? I know
17:54
what are the effects? So with those
17:56
Ozempic, the main premise is it's
17:58
attacking GLP-1, which is a naturally
18:01
producing thing in our bodies as well.
18:03
When you eat more protein, that receptor
18:06
is is activated to allow us to eat a
18:08
little less. What Ozempic is trying to
18:09
do is, hey, it's going to put you in a
18:11
position where you're eating less
18:12
calories so that you ultimately lose
18:14
weight. There are some people who need
18:16
it because of diabetes and other things.
18:18
But for most people they're getting on
18:19
it for weight loss. What they don't
18:21
realize is once you get off the
18:23
medication, if you haven't changed your
18:24
lifestyle, if you haven't started
18:26
exercising, if you haven't started
18:27
dealing with the reason that we gained
18:29
weight in the first place, once you get
18:31
off the medication, all the food noise
18:32
comes back. All the cravings come back.
18:34
So most people gain weight. There was a
18:36
study that just came out. Most people
18:37
gain more weight afterwards because they
18:40
have nothing in place that's blocking
18:42
the signal of, "Oh, I'm hungry. Oh, I'm
18:43
about to go in the kitchen at 12:00 at
18:45
night. And now I have all of these
18:46
cravings because I never naturally
18:48
addressed them. I don't mind it, but if
18:50
you're going to be on it, still
18:52
exercise, still
18:55
Use it as in conjunction with each
18:56
other. So it's not a cheat code. Yeah,
18:58
it's not a cheat code. Yeah, yeah. You
19:00
still got to get your ass up and do
19:01
something.
19:02
>> [laughter]
19:04
>> You got to do something, right, doc?
19:06
Yo, yo, Exhibit, man. Thanks for joining
19:09
us this morning, man.
19:18
>> [laughter]
19:19
>> And you're going to be coming on right
19:20
after us, right?
19:21
>> us, man. Right after this.
19:23
>> man.
19:24
Hey. I'mma I'mma call the the homie and
19:27
we're going to lock that Come on. Let's
19:29
go.
19:30
Thank you, by the way.
19:31
>> Appreciate y'all, man. Thank you, dog.
19:32
>> cryptic, right?
19:33
>> [laughter]
19:34
>> Um one last thing, if you don't mind,
19:35
Dr. Salako. Is there anything though I
19:37
can do for like I'm not going to lie,
19:39
I've been using um some kind of cannabis
19:42
rubbing things on my
19:46
>> [laughter]
19:48
>> Yeah, for the pain. Like for the pain up
19:50
under Is there anything you can do for
19:51
pain besides I mean the cannabis thing
19:54
is good because it helps us nice and
19:57
easy but are there any other things that
19:59
I can use?
20:00
>> Yeah, so the first one you're not going
20:01
to like my answer but you got to walk
20:03
increase your whole body temperature and
20:05
then stretch. That's the easiest thing
20:07
just getting your body temperature up
20:08
and just stretching especially your sore
20:09
areas. Do it the day after because that
20:11
helps you flush out the Yeah, helps you
20:14
flush out the lactic acid to allow your
20:16
body to restore and bring some healthier
20:18
blood to the area. So that's the first
20:19
one. Second thing anti-inflammatory
20:21
foods like ginger turmeric turmeric with
20:24
black pepper those things are going to
20:25
be really great because it can help with
20:26
some of the inflammation that can come
20:28
from exercise to help you better
20:29
recover. Thank you.
20:31
>> go man. Thank you for saving HP man. She
20:33
finally got in the gym got to these
20:35
weights man. Dr. Salako this is very
20:37
