“But you need those also to signal healing. So here's what we find in the data. When people regularly use an NSAID like ibuprofen or naproxen, for example, when they regularly use them when they work out, you see less muscular strength gains and you also see joint degeneration over time.”
“thing where you're like, I'm going to go have a hard workout. Let me pop to ibuprofen so I could go do this crazy workout. And this is my routine. You're better off going in with a little bit of pain, judging the movements based on how you feel and doing it that way versus taking these on a regular basis because they will reduce your body's ability to heal.”
“I don't take Advil, Tylenol. Good for you. Anything. That stuff, the thing about Tylenol or Advil, I should say, for people that take non-steroidal anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen, that stuff is terrible for your gut.”
“And then we became friends. He's one of my best friends. Yeah, he's good. I love him to death. Such a good guy. What I was getting at was that he was taking ibuprofen. He was taking 800 milligrams a day. And I didn't know he was taking that much. And I was talking to him on the phone once and he was telling me, yeah, I take 800 milligrams a day.”
“And so then I sent him some information that Rhonda Patrick, Dr. Ronda Patrick, put out about the problem with ibuprofen, the problem with taking large doses of it on a regular basis and what it does to your gut biome. So he stopped taking it.”
“He said, well, fuck, I don't want to ruin my body. Let me just stop taking it. The pain that he was experiencing went away after he stopped taking 800 milligrams of ibuprofen a day. And he realized that the pain that he was experiencing was accentuated by the fact that he was causing inflammation in his body by taking anti-inflammatories that were destroying his gut biome.”
“So he's taking it. Exactly. Exactly. So he's taking all this 800 milligrams of ibuprofen every day. It's torching his gut biome. That's causing this cascade of inflammatory responses in his body.”
“Does it say why? That seems weird. Why? Because, like, that's what people— People use, like, ibuprofen and shit for. I wonder why you can't use it for that. Like, I couldn't use any of that shit. I could only use Tylenol, whatever the fuck that is. I couldn't take ibuprofen after the surgery. No?”
