So what do famous people do, health-wise?
Well, famous people don’t do things that your ‘average’ person does. Simple, right?
They think different.
They live different.
Fame Meets Health
Their level of ‘health’ is different. They have a million little habits from when they brush their teeth, go to bed, and how they approach snacks, just like you do, and some of those habits have powerfully helped in their success.
Take a look below to get a feel for it.
I love seeing us all benefit from being open-minded to new ways of success: one of those ways, is flipping perspectives that no longer work, and adopting a new one that puts the win in our days.
There are celebrities who eat whatever they want, and who’s body shape and youthfulness defy comprehension.
Examples:
- Jessica Simpson, known for her gorgeous smile, and who runs the Operation Smile foundation, does not brush her teeth. How can she be famous for her gorgeous smile and NOT brush her teeth? How does her body accomplish this?
- The IceMan has run marathons in icy wastelands — naked. How?
- Drake ingests a lot more ‘unhealthy substances’ than most people – "I don’t have to work in the morning so I always stay for 1 more / fuck what they say, I’m telling you there’s no side effects I’m sure."
- Beyonce once went 3 days without eating in front of her team while working on a choreography, 50 Cent made a movie and a soundtrack during the same time period, and didn’t sleep during it.
Then there’s authors:
- Tim Ferriss recently released The Four Hour Body, which blows the doors off of fitness, demonstrating that superhuman feats can be accomplished in about 4 hours.
- Geneen Roth’s Women, Food & God book is all about how thought, emotion, and attitude have MORE effect on one’s body than exercise or diet, DRASTICALLY.
And it’s not just celebrities…
- There are native tribes who live on ‘strange diets’ – fat and blubber, raw meat, etc. and maintain impressive fitness.
- There are monks in China who live on chicken and potatoes and bread, but are in supreme condition.
- Stan Lee’s "Superhumans" is a show that focuses on world-records for body-accomplishment: superhumans, basically.
- There are supermodels and athletes who by the way they party, by all means should be unhealthy, but are not.
- France is known for it’s incredibly rich food (wine, cream, cheese), and also incredibly attractive women. How do these things co-exist in the same culture?
The list goes on…
How About You?
Are you aware of your habits and attitudes about health, which reflect how successful you are, physically? It all has something to do with a mindset that you can tap into, at this very moment, whether you are eating Doritos or a tub of Haagen Dazs. http://zenhabits.net/mindful-eating/
So get psyched for a new way of health. You’re looking for fresh sexy-ass ideas, and Ryze delivers. Want to see a really interesting set of ideas? <grin> Check out "Mr. Controversy", Charlie Sheen. Charlie just lives… very differently, but he is successful materially and seems pretty happy and healthy.
In the Charlie Sheen video, you see him describe his absolute trust in his own health and self-confidence at his way of living. He says its not only possible, but great. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone so confident in the face of so much aggressive hate. He doesn’t justify it, he doesn’t explain it, and he just… "lives different."
I know you can see past the interviewer’s judgment, disdain, and lack of respect for Mr. Sheen, and see deeper the man who claims to have “Tiger Blood.” I’ll admit that’s a really hilarious thing to say, but is there something more to it? Does his attitude change things?
Science is filled with studies that consistently show examples of people who defy doctor-diagnosis: cancer-survivors, HIV-survivors, placebo tests, etc., and basically every single one of them had a positive, success-focused mindset.
Getting back to Sheen, what’s even more interesting, is that what I’ve seen of his workout routine, energy levels, and presence would put most healthy, people to shame.
There are physical specimens who defy all kinds of beliefs. The IceMan certainly believes cold is not really an issue. Charlie Sheen believes he can rock hard and win all day, drugs or not.
What I’m saying is… if you don’t think stuff like “I have Tiger Blood”, how ready are you really, for physical achievement?
(And no, we are not doctors, and we’re not recommending that you do drugs and have sex with pornstars, Sheen-style, but do trust your body and your own intuition on what makes your feelings ryze, and your health and well-being will thrive, no matter what age or health limits you people tell you about).
The point?
You’re awesome, you’re ballin’, human beings can do more than most people realize… and you personally can do more physically, so act more like it.
Drop excuses, quit whining, stop limiting your what you want to do. Enjoy life, other people can show you how 
So how about you, do you have anything you really love to do that heaven might not ‘approve of’ health-wise? Be a little more badass than usual – share some stories 
- Angry
- Appreciated
- Inspired
- Amused
- Enlightened
- Happy
About 
So where did you get all this “information” Jason because I’m still stuck on Jessica not brushing her teeth. That’s just disgusting and extremely hard for me to believe honestly.
I do believe that your mind plays a huge part in this but at the same time, I lived with a Dad who was ill my entire life and he had one of the most positive attitudes about life. I waver on the fence about this because I hear some people’s stories yet I lived with one myself. So I’m a little torn on this particular subject in all honesty.
Charlie on the other hand I’m afraid it’s all going to catch up with him. He’s just been on lucky dude up until now. His attitude about making the decision to stop drugs I wholeheartedly believe, that’s his way of thinking. But the wear and tear all those drugs and partying have done to him throughout his life are another story. I still believe we’ll be reading about him in the papers in the near future and it won’t be what we all want to hear I’m afraid.
The Jessica Simpson info came from her appearance on Ellen, and if you search… she states it very openly again on i<3radio.( interview here: http://youtu.be/T33Lo25Qgv8?t=7m1s )
People can speculate about Charlie’s future all they want, the vibe I get from is a) Passion, b) Peace with his choices, c) High-energy + personal success. For me, that speaks volumes.
I’m reminded of Bill Hicks’ (brilliant comedian) routine about the health nut, Jim Fix, who died while jogging vs. Keith Richards who shot record-setting levels of heroin and still continued touring and performing passionately . (Story here: http://youtu.be/awyiiK7JLHQ )
As for your Dad + positivity, I’ll say only this:
People can be ‘positive’ about almost every topic under the sun, and still be ‘negative’ about health or biology, and they will reap results from that attitude.
Aaaaanyway… I love sharing my thoughts and expressing my feelings, but I’m never out to convince anybody, if you think that the health ideas presented here are unhelpful — that’s cool — but I encourage you to check inside, and really *feel* what’s makes sense…
…Human beings who can do things that are impressive, record-setting, and that ‘scare society’, or people who “have to” follow the status quo?
I’ll leave with your own words on your positivity, and see if you feel you’re being the super-positive Adrienne we know and love in your comments above or if you can turn it on more:
“As I mentioned in my video Julie I’m a very positive person.”, “I have a positive attitude and I have learned to release the majority of the negative thoughts from my mind.”, “I’ve always been a positive person.”
I know you are, miss, keep doin’ your thing
Dang, Jessica Simpson doesn’t brush her teeth? You won’t catch me in a mile of that girl. Her breath has got to reek. What is she thinking?
Oh I agree with you about Charlie. He’s on heck of a passionate guy, his energy level it off the charts and he’s rich as hell. I personally don’t believe that’s going to save his ass though. Personal opinions remember!
As far as my Dad goes, he didn’t have any “negative” thoughts about his health. I won’t go into the entire story but right before his first cancer surgery in 1958 he had an experience that turned him into a firm believer and from that moment on he knew he would be just fine. He went through six cancer surgeries, one heart attack, his apendix burst, he had gallbladder surgery and the remaining years of his life he had Parkinson’s. He passed away at 80 years old and was the only remaining survivor with that rare form of cancer in the US. So he believed with everything he had Jason. It didn’t cure him though is all I’m saying.
Oh, I didn’t get that impression that you were trying to convince anyone. Heck, that’s what blogs are for right! It’s our blog and we can write whatever we want. I enjoy reading what other people are saying.
I know that my positive outlook on life and my belief that everything is fabulous in the world has brought me through so much. I look at some of my friends who are going through pure hell right now with their health and I’m older then they are. I can’t explain it Jason and I’m not going to bicker over what they believe and what they don’t. I just know that I’m an extremely grateful person after living through everything my Dad was put through my entire life. Watching others go through pure hell sure makes you appreciate every moment you are breathing air. And that my friend I know for sure.
Beautiful, Adrienne, beautiful
Re Jessica: She runs Operation Smile and is famous for having some of the most appealing teeth ever. Has she adapted some super-human self-cleaning? Does Michael Phelps have flipper-like webbed feet? Can the IceMan control his internal body temp with his mind?
Interesting stuff.
I hope to share a meal with Charlie one day, and you can make fun of me for hanging around the “wear and tear, party guy”
:):)
Well, you know your Dad better than I, but I’d say *only he knew* his inner-most thoughts/spirit/ideas re: biology. Humanity has no real sure-fire way of measuring another persons spirit.
More positively… another possibility is some people have illnesses specifically to teach humanity something impressive:
See Nick Vujicic (limbless motivational speaker), Kev Shields (one-armed climber), and Sean Stephenson (brittle-boned wonder). My grandfather had cancer but he showed us all how to live
This is probably one of the most interesting, provocative and at the same time *civil* discussions I’ve seen on the net, and I’m thrilled it’s happening with you, on Ryze.
