Transcript of Episode #163: The #1 Trait of Unhealthy People! (this makes you sick) DYLAN DOES NOT HOLD BACK!

We weren't created to be selfish and hoard things and live only for money and power. And we weren't created to hold grudges and to have hate. We were created to love. We were created to do wonderful things. We were created to be happy and healthy. Whether it's CNN, Fox, or anything else in between, every single thing that you watch on there has some sort of negative connotation. The kind of division and that negative outlook on others when you're just looking for something to hate somebody for, that causes a lack of health to the people out there that make a excuses all the time, never take responsibility or accountability. Do you think those people are healthy? Do you think that they carry healthy characteristics and take pride in how they feel and how they look? When you become selfless as opposed to selfish, you feel better.

Do you want to know why nothing seems to help you with constant cravings? GLP-1 is the hunger hormone that everyone's talking about, but your gut was designed to make it on its own. However, it needs the right signal. Bitter receptors in your gut and mouth are directly tied to GLP-1 release, and most modern diets are extremely low in bitter foods, and so this natural pathway rarely gets activated. But have no fear, because I found the answer with Just Thrive Digestive Bitters. Just Thrive Digestive Bitters deliver concentrated bitter botanicals that activate receptors in your gut, encouraging your body to produce GLP-1 naturally, supporting healthy digestion, comfortable fullness, and a balanced appetite without any synthetic inputs. No No bitter taste required. The bitter receptors that matter most for GLP-1 signaling and digestive support aren't just in your mouth. They line your entire GI tract. So when the capsule dissolves in your gut, the bitter botanicals activate those receptors. Same signal, same response, zero bitter taste. Right now, Just Thrive is offering my listeners something special. When you start a 90-day Just Thrive probiotic subscription, you'll get a free 90-day supply of their new digestive bitters, and that's a $90 value.

All right, everybody, welcome back to the Dylan Gemelli Podcast. I want to get into something today that I think will catch a few people off guard when I start to name the areas that I want to address here, because the obvious answers are not going to be what I talk about. I want to talk about The attributes that the most unhealthiest people carry. Now, most of you would immediately jump to something to do with their diet, poor sleep habits, potential addictions to drugs, alcohol, every poor habit you could think of. Let me say first, all terrible habits to have, all major contributors to poor health, certainly. So, I am not discounting those whatsoever, and I'll probably touch on those throughout. But there's a bigger picture here. There's a bigger facet to what causes people to be truly unhealthy, because I'll tell you this, I can fix all of those things. I can fix your diet. I can have you training consistently. I can get your blood panels in line. I can correct a lot of these things and help you to do it, and you can do it and make the efforts to make the changes that you need daily.

But if you carry the attributes that I'm about to list, it does not matter. And I know, again, that probably sounds crazy before I get into it. Well, Dylan, if my diet is in check and I'm training and even sleeping well, how can you tell me that I wouldn't be healthy? But I think as I get into this, it's going to be very evident and clear that every single unhealthy person Carries these characteristics. And I will ask you this out loud as I go to make it so that you understand where I'm going. And I'll say it very clearly. And then when you say it out loud, you'll go, oh yeah, because you're going to say to yourself, well, how can you say that every single person that is unhealthy has this? What proof do you have? What study have you done? Let me just get into what they are first. And I— and it's going to be very fitting. And I'll make this point as who the people that would say this, how they fall into this category. So what is the number one characteristic and trait that I can say that generally every unhealthy person carries?

Something to do with negativity, whether it's a negative outlook on life, something that they're always thinking and construing in their mind that's negative. Some part of their day is carrying negativity. When you start to become negative, you create problems for yourself. You create them within. Your brain has so much control over every single thing that you do, how you feel, and your overall health. I have talked to some of the best neuroscientists, and I'm not going to try to cite a bunch of things that I don't have in front of me. Because I— you guys know me, I do speak with credibility and fact. But when I start doing things like this, I'm rolling. And I don't script anything or have a bunch of things all to my sides here and papers here and there with a bunch of facts and things on them. I'm going off memory and I'm going off things that I've discussed on my podcast and things that I've learned educationally at institutions. Whatever the case, I, I go off of it all. But I can tell you this, I have talked to several neuroscientists and you can go back and listen.

Dr. Daniel Amen, Dr. Dave Rabin, some of the most respected people in the world, and they will all correlate the mind and people that are positive versus negative and how much it affects their overall health, how it affects them when they recover from injury or illness, and how it determines their overall lifespan. And I ask you this and say this out loud: how many people that carry a negative attitude or showcase negativity or have a negative vibe or energy to them do you look at and think to yourself or say out loud, Wow, that person is the epitome of good health. And I say that rhetorically, and I've given this speech, and I say, I'll wait. And I never see a hand go up and give me any example of somebody that is highly negative that they are pinpointing out to me that they look at and say, wow, I bet they're healthy. But I'll tell you what, people that are unhealthy, you're gonna notice that aura to them almost 99% of the time. There's always gonna be exceptions to the rule, and That may be unhealthy, may have illness or sickness, but I'll tell you what, the people that carry a positive attitude, they hide it quite well and you won't be able to see it.

That mindset and that ability to stay positive, to have more compassion and love in your heart, to carry characteristics like gratitude and humility, endurance and perseverance, those virtues that you need, those are are indicative of somebody that is healthier, happier, and more successful in life. And we can define success in multitudes of ways. But I'll tell you what, people that are negative, they end up having more problems. If you look at blood panels, people that have higher levels of inflammation, higher levels of cortisol, chances are they're carrying around a negative attitude. And chances are also high, they're not the most gracious people. And, and I mean, carrying high levels of gratitude throughout their day. When you carry that characteristic of being thankful, it resonates into everything else that you do. It really, truly does. And most people that always find a problem to every solution, they tend to not do so well on the health side of things. And I see it time, and time, and time again. That energy that you carry along with you can raise you up. Or it can certainly pull you down. And when you start to have these people where in their free time, for example, they're spending it watching ridiculous news stations, and they're all the same.

So I don't care what side of the fence that you think you're on, whether it's CNN, Fox, or anything else in between, or all over the place. Every single thing that you watch on there Has some sort of negative connotation. It causes division. It calls out other people, and all it does is pull bits and pieces of different interviews or whatever they want to fit their narrative to drive you against another person and to cause some sort of negative reaction. How many times do you watch those and come out feeling happy? I'll wait, and we'll sit here and wait and wait and wait and wait, because after you pull through a million episodes, chances are you're not going to find me one. The kind of division and that negative outlook on others when you're just looking for something to hate somebody for, that causes a lack of health. I'm not sitting here trying to be Mr. Bring the World Together, although I would love to. I know that there's a lot of things that go on that cause division, but the more division and the more negativity that we carry, The unhealthier we are. And guess what?

Then we become more reliant on medications. Once again, I'm not a conspiracy theorist. Everybody here that follows me knows I don't give one ounce of a fuck either way what side you're on, where you go. I have a set of beliefs. If you feel that my set of beliefs puts me in one side or the other, by all means, put me wherever you want, because to me it doesn't make any sort of a difference. I belong to God. I don't belong to any group or anything of the sort. Whatever characteristics or belief sets you carry, that's your own. Don't ever become dependent on a group or a title or anything else. That's nonsensical and once again unhealthy because it causes negative outlooks, negative connotations. Let me ask you this. What would you say if I asked you about how you spend your free time and I bring up this? I say to you, well, You go through comments and you see somebody that leaves a negative comment, and then maybe you do a little digging into them and see, well, man, seems like they leave an awful lot of negative comments on different things. Seems like that's all they do.

Can you imagine if I said this out loud to you? In your free time, you spend 30 minutes to an hour scrolling through posts online and just talking shit, leaving negative comments. And then you add up the time and the hours and you look at it over time. And before you know it, you've been doing it for years. And that time's adding up to days. Then it's adding up to weeks, to months that all you did when you look back at free time was do something negative, insult somebody else, spend your time looking for things that could piss you off or that you don't agree with. And so you type and write and do all of this. And that's what you do in your free time. And then you wake up when you're 50 and you wonder. Whoa, where did the time go? Why did I not do all of these things that I wished I would have done? What happened? Why am I so pissed off? Why am I so angry? Why am I unhealthy? Well, what do you think? All of these people that do this and waste their time and worry about what everybody else is doing and worry about what everybody else thinks and what they say and what they said that could hurt your feelings or Piss you off.

Who cares? Who cares? When you think about those things, when you dwell on things in the past, when you hold grudges, when you hate people for the rest of your life, let me ask you a question, a serious question, and ask yourself out loud, what did that solve? What did getting angry at anybody ever solve? How did that fix any problems? How did it make your life better? How did it make you any happier? How did it make you more successful? How did it make you healthier? How did it make your connection with your family, your kids, your loved ones any better? Or, or did it leave you in a state of mind where you're asking yourself, why am I so angry all the time?

You would—

you sometimes your conscious will get to you and you'll go to bed and think, well, man, I wish I was kinder, or I wish that I wouldn't have said this, or I wish I wouldn't have done that. And it's just a life of wishing, wishing, wishing. Did you— to the people out there that make excuses all the time, never take responsibility or accountability, do you think those people are healthy? Do you think that they carry healthy characteristics and take pride in how they feel and how they look and how they are and to treat other people? Because I'll tell you what, when you do good to other people, when you treat them well, when you smile at somebody and they smile back, when somebody says hello to you for no reason, It, it uplifts you. It makes you feel better, even if it's just for that moment. But in that moment, you're lost into, wow, I feel a lot better. When you do something well for somebody else and they tell you thank you, or somebody— for me, for example, what makes me happy with what I do? When somebody comes to me and says, Dylan, something you said, a guest you had on, something you asked them, something that you brought out of them, or even a guest that I have on that says, You know, nobody's ever asked me that.

Nobody's ever cared to do that. All everybody does is read off a script and ask me the same old shit that they do on every other show I'm on. That makes my day. That makes me go. That makes me feel so good. And it, it makes me feel fulfilled because I know what I'm doing. I'm doing something good for other people. When you become selfless as opposed to selfish, you feel better. And when you feel better about yourself, you become healthier, you become happier, you become a bigger asset to people around you, become more successful at what you do. You, you get things done much more efficiently. When you take care of yourself mentally, you can take care of yourself physically. But walking around with a negative attitude, doing things that cause division, hating on other people, worrying about what other people think and say about you, Taking everything personally, not knowing how to take constructive criticism, being sensitive to the point where if somebody says hello to you wrong, that it's a problem. Being so, so extreme one way or another where you just hate on anybody for having a different thought or opinion or any sort of way that goes against your own.

Does that sound healthy? If you say this shit out loud, if you take a moment and take a step back, And look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself if you're really doing these things. Because some people, when I say this, will do it, and other people will do the same old thing and just be more negative. Fuck this guy, you know, who does he think he is? Oh, he's so perfect. No, I am far, far, far from perfect. But I'll tell you what makes me excel at what I do is because I'm accepting of where I'm lacking, and I know that what I need to work on, and I'm accountable. And I tell myself, man, dude, like, you said something really bad, you did something really wrong, you need to fix it, you need to be accountable, you need to say you're sorry, you You need to take a step back and realize what you're doing wrong and realize that everything that you say or do is not the end-all be-all. You need to be able to be accountable. When you have accountability, I'm telling you, it is the most freeing thing in the world.

See, there's multitudes of meanings to words, and slavery is one of those words because we all become slavery to sin. We become slavery to worrying about what other people think, to the, the man-made world, when we don't really understand what freedom means, when we're free from those things, when we're free from worrying about what everybody else thinks, when we're free from stresses and anxieties and angers, that's real freedom. That's real, true freedom. You're not free when your mind is convoluted with all of these negative things. And you got to think to yourself, if you're constantly negative and you're always in this bad state of mind, how are you able to really work on eating well? How are you really able to work on your training if your mind is always in that realm? How are you able to push through? Because mental strength is one of the keys to being a great athlete or being able to push yourself at the gym, being able to be disciplined when it comes to your food, to be temperate, to not go crazy and have to Have a million bites of pizza because it tasted good, or be— lack of self-control.

That's what causes addictions. There, it's something mental, something that triggers mentally. You have a mental and chemical dependency, and it starts with negativity. Something Something that you're holding on to, something that you can't let go, something internally that's caused you all of these problems, then it exudes out into everything that you do and it doesn't allow you to be healthy nor happy. You know, I used to always want to be the one that got all the attention when I went into a room, but for the wrong reasons. Oh, he's got this kind of suit or clothes on, he's wearing this, he's got that, all of the things that make no significant difference and don't really draw people to you. They draw a type of respect that's not really respect. It's people that like you just because of your status or who you are, but don't really like you, don't really get that feeling from you. Now when I walk in a room, my goal is to bring the most positive vibrant energy that I can, that brings positivity, hope, and instills some kind of encouragement into people. And that's what you have to do. You have to bring something positive to others, which will then resonate and help us all become healthy.

Yes, sleep is imperative, and people that have bad sleep are generally unhealthy. Yes, people that have a really rough diet, that eat a lot of processed foods, that don't take care of themselves— and we could get into diet and everything else, because that's a whole nother ballgame of disagreement. And once again, where people think that their way is the only way. No, everything is different for each individual, and certain things work for some that don't work for others. Once again, that's that negative connotation where people get scared to even discuss diet because they're going to get attacked if they're not keto, or if they're not vegan, or if they disagree with this or that. Again, It's argument, it's fighting, it's negativity over what? Because somebody doesn't like your fucking diet? Because somebody doesn't agree that being carnivore every single day of their life is good? Or somebody likes carbs and somebody doesn't? Or somebody is a vegan or somebody isn't? Somebody eats, God forbid, oatmeal or spinach or whatever else is the new thing we're not supposed to eat today that was okay to eat yesterday. Think about how ridiculous some of the things I'm saying sound, how absurd Just sit there and think about it.

If you say it out loud and then ask yourself, is any of the things that I'm saying worth it? Do any of these things have any bearing on anything? And how much time and energy am I wasting into this nonsensical garbage when I could be doing something positive? And I will always say that the Way to become the healthiest is to connect yourself to God. And some people are going to get so mad at that and whatever, and I don't care. I really don't, because that is the ultimate path and way to truly get yourself turned around mentally and physically, because that is how you obtain the virtues that I'm talking about. That's how you become loving and caring when you realize the importance of what we were created to be, because we were created to love. We were created to give. We weren't created to be selfish and hoard things and live only for money and power and control. We weren't created to hold grudges and to have hate. We were created to love. We were created to do wonderful things. We were created to be happy and healthy. Now, there are certain things in the world that were created, and we have to live and be accustomed to and get around.

There's no— some things there's no ways around it. But damn it, man, running around and being pissed off all the time and hating on other people and, and just taking things out on others to either make yourself feel better or to try to drag people down to your level of misery is bullshit. And it does nothing but contribute to the bigger picture, which is causing this health decline that I see. Yes, there are other things to address, but you would see so much less of all of these debilitating diseases and problems if the mindset's changed. So I'll leave you with that. I am here to do one thing and one thing only, and that is to try to bring people closer to God and fix their lives in the best way I humanly possibly can. And if I can get into your hearts and fixate love and compassion into your hearts. Everything else then is a learning curve that we will get through, and I will help you all get through it with me. And I will do everything that I can to help bring that light and that hope into everybody's life and to be an inspiration.

So that being said, stay tuned for plenty more to come. Dylan Gemelli signing off.
