Welcome to the truth podcast I’m your host H rambod and I always say I have a special guest but this one is a very special guest many of you were giving us suggestions on who should have be on the podcast and who we should have on and

Many times this woman has been mentioned but uh finally convinced her to come on the podcast so welcome my beautiful wife Miss NS AKA I don’t know do they call you more Miss NS now or fenz Miss NS cu my real name is very challenging for

Most people so yes Smith nod I’m very happy to be here um it was a long coming a little nervous yes I do a bunch of content for social media and I’m okay with that this type of stuff I have never done before so it’s brand new and

I’m kind of nervous but very excited awesome well a lot of you don’t know uh f is aka Miss NS used to compete so so uh when I met her she was getting ready for a show uh with a good friend of mine and actually my client at the time uh

Charles Ray Ry and Ray had won the 2005 Nationals I had two people in the show him as well as uh Bill Wilmore Bill ended up winning the overall Ray ended up winning the light heavyweight class going on to eventually compete in the Olympia in the 202 and he told me one

Day hey I have a client let me uh introduce you she’s Persian and she likes to compete I go Persians who like to compete and she’s a woman whoa yeah back then that was very very rare cuz there weren’t a lot of competitors a lot of female competitors and definitely not

A lot of Middle Eastern women I think there was only one pro Dena El saah and she was Jordanian or no kuti Kuwaiti she was Kuwaiti and that was it you know cuz in our culture back especially back then this is like 16 years ago right so well

They still don’t allow women to compete in a lot of the region in the Middle East yeah right I believe there might be some in Dubai but really Iran is not happening Kuwait it’s not happening but you I’m trying to think it’s Kuwait I don’t I still don’t believe they they

Compete women compete in Kuwait but um so a lot of them that do compete even now obviously don’t compete there because they don’t have the platform so we have a lot of Iranians from Canada and the US uh who live or live abroad anywhere outside and obviously Dubai has

Become a hub a lot of women a lot of influencers and competitors that are women are in Dubai and so fast forward you guys started getting ready for the show um we’ll use this we there’s there’s a a good story behind uh a good I mean it

Was bad and it became better but about when you were competing and and Ray was coaching you and uh Ray was making some mistakes and you know not to call Ry out but obviously he he didn’t work with a lot of you know competitive women and

Then I didn’t want to coach you I we were just dating and then eventually I took over and uh y good thing is we were able to fix some things and you won I did I won my class and I also won the overall sword which which Jani terer on

Stage uh for those of you that don’t know who loner is he writes for Iron Man magazine or did while the magazine was still around and also mced a bazillion shows back in the day and he was the MC and he told to stab me or try not to

Stab me with it yep I didn’t yeah she still has where’s that sword it is in my store in Campbell California nutrition Palace it’s hung up over my inbody machine along with the degrees that I have and um it’s sitting there shiny as ever never been used on honey no not yet

But Lonnie thanks for the idea you seated in her head but uh which is funny because I did talk to Lonnie about that the other day first time we caught up in a while and uh he ask me he goes hey did she end up using that sword ever on

You but the good thing was you did you won your class in figure uh at the NPC San Francisco as well as winning your uh the overall in figure and obviously figure is completely different I’m trying to remember was it two did they have two suits then yeah so back then

There was no bikini there was no women’s physique there was no other divisions like of Wellness um there was only Fitness bodybuilding for women and figure and it was a two-piece round and a one piece round so we had to get two suits we had to get a one piece suit yes

And then we had to do a bikini which is now it’s all bikini um and we had the same poses you know quarter turns all that but yeah it’s changed quite a bit from when I was competing 16 years ago and for those you’re going to ask why

Did they have two suits back then well the reason was one was supposed to be with for your shape and silhouette not your conditioning per se um and that was the one piece suit and the two-piece suit was obvious viously kind of how it is now where it’s the overall physique

Conditioning balance um structure and I feel that when they had more divisions then they were like okay look we don’t really need this other uh uh round and it was ungodly expensive too because those suits were just Bedazzled and they had tons of crystals and all these

Things yeah and you had to buy two of them so it was very expensive and you know I I’m actually happy that they got rid of it obviously with the volume and the number of competitors too it’s a Time issue so yeah yeah I don’t even think they had men’s physique back then

They had nothing they was like bodybuilding for men that was it that’s it nothing else and now you fast forward and speaking of nutrition Palace and the and what you’re doing now like when we met we met at the USA and what happened was when you fast forward and you look

At bodybuilding you’ve been to every single Olympia yep since since we started since we started dating and then all of the shows that you’ve been to and many times you get to see a lot of the athletes before their show and and being there and I you know this

Year um it was particularly kind of you know I think stressful but cool because now we have Cam and you know Cam’s 10 years old and he’s become a bodybuilding fan totally and uh he’s like a little mini celebrity running around because a lot of people know who he is and uh and

He’s in the new he’s in the new mega fit meals um uh ad that you know they it was a post and then it became an ad and then you know make sure you eat mega fit so you don’t become mega fat Y and so I said that to

Him once and then now that’s his line yep and U he said dad said that to me he didn’t use it so it was a missed opportunity so I took it that’s what exactly is hey you know what he could have that but it was uh it’s funny

Because I believe we were in the kitchen and I don’t remember if it was Derek who was seom was there and Kelvin and you guys were doing some kind of social media for for mega fit in our kitchen yeah because we just launch we we just now launched

The new kebabs and we did the hany kebabs which are basically a steak Kebab a chicken kebab with uh and then a ground beef Kebab that’s kind of like a KUB and that is specialty they’re doing a limited run of these uh kebabs uh for

Mega fit meal and we were doing a post about it to be able to do some videos to for the release and then he obviously is a ham so he likes to get Cam the ham I call him and he likes to get on on the

Video and then he he was like he was hilarious he’s hilarious when he found out I was going to be on the podcast he’s all mom can I come too if he didn’t have school today he would be here right now sitting in this seat so comment below if you want to see

Cam on the podcast we might have to put him on here because he has his opinions and believe me many opinions he last week we had the Nationals here and we had Sandy Jim Manion uh big Steve weberg and it’s hilarious because he’s going to them and he’s like having them break

Down the hottie versus Derek and he’s going through it and through the POS he’s 10 right but he grew up in this I mean even when you were pregnant you were at the Olympia with him and then every single Olympia after that he’s been there so he gets to see firsthand

He gets to see and then he turns around after somebody poses in the living room of our house and good whoever it is or you know or see somebody um at the gym and then he’d be like Dad are you going to give him some salmon he looks like he’s a little flat

But I don’t think you should increase his carbs and it’s just like that’s that’s my son 10 years old totally you know so I don’t know maybe he’s going to start doing some prep pretty soon here because he does have a very good eye for it he

Really does he does and he could start doing prep for the middle schoolers that that he’s a part of here in Texas say but um so yeah so we come from an entire family of of bodybuilding so we had so much in common and obviously if anybody

Knows and and I’ve talked about this many many episodes it really becomes a part of you this is it’s like um it’s like a religion in a lot of ways it it really becomes a part of you when you have people who back you and who support you who understand this lifestyle and

The reason the reason why I kind of parallel it with religion is because what happens is if you don’t have a good support system if your husband or your wife or your mom and dad if you’re a teenager coming up if they don’t support you it becomes very difficult I’m not

Saying it’s impossible especially the parents because you kind of uh end up kind of running your own lane at some point when you start growing up but your life partner or somebody who is your girlfriend or boyfriend it makes it really difficult if they’re trying to sabotage what what you’re doing and in

The past um I’ve dated girls that were outside the industry and it was really really difficult and you would think that hey look maybe balancing out your relationship and say hey look somebody outside the industry is going to be better because they’re going to be able

To not want to talk about work right when you’re coaching or you know because you hear me say it sometimes when we’re talking about bodybuilding or Cam starts talking about bodybuilding sometimes I just want to not talk about bodybuilding y I’m just like hey cam did you start

Playing you know the new Call of Duty did start like I don’t want to talk about I changed the subject and but when you are fundamentally don’t have people who support you it becomes very difficult especially if this is a part of your career whether you’re a coach or

Whether you’re a competitor whether you’re an influencer any of those things are going to make it very difficult if you don’t have the right partner because it eventually they either intentionally or unintentionally try to sabotage you because they’re just they don’t like it or they turn around

And I remember even when I was competing as a natural bodybuilder and I would date somebody who was not in the industry and I would turn around and say Hey you know I got to be able to eat my chicken and rice and this and that like

Just can’t you just have it some pizza can’t you just turn around and do what’s wrong with you yeah you know and you’re like no I’m competing well I just think what you’re doing is kind of like not really fun yeah you know you don’t look

Like you’re having fun I’m like this is not about fun this is about a sport that involves discipline a lifestyle that involves discipline totally well why do you have to get up in the morning and I just want to touch on that too you got up in the morning and when

We were dating you got up in the morning and you would get up at like 3:00 a.m. yep 3:00 a.m. go to 24-Hour Fitness on coddle and I would do an hour and 15 minutes of fasted stepmill and go home get all my meals prepped I was working

As a chiropractor at the time and it had about a 30 40 minute commute so had to prep all my meals get to work started seeing patients at 7: till noon and you know Chiropractic is on your feet and you know like you’re just very physical

So I did that 12: to 2:30 I would have a little break I’d go to the 24-Hour Fitness get my lift in take a shower come back I’d see patients again from 3:00 to 7: drive back home to Golds Bernell and do another hour and 15

Minutes of cardio and that was my day you know my whole day every day for six 15 weeks of prep so yeah I mean when you don’t have someone who hasn’t done it or hasn’t lived it and knows the importance of meal timing getting your lifts in all

That because it’s not just a career that you’ve built around bodybuilding it’s a definitely a lifestyle it’s all consuming it’s not like hey you clock in 9 to 5 and then you’re home and you’re you know Dad or husband or whatever it’s all day long 24 hours a day non-stop you

Know even when you’re not competing with your athletes as well so it’s very challenging to have someone I would think especially in this career um to not have someone that understands it yeah and when you started competing how old were you um I started competing when

I was 24 and I was in chiropractic school at the time right so and undergrad you f you you train some famous people so I went to UCLA um what from 18 to 22 and and you did finish and I did finish yes a lot people orish what no

Finish school because people always go oh I went to USC or I went what I mean not USC because most of these guys don’t go to USC but in our industry they’ll say hey I went to college and assuming somebody’s going to think that hey you

Finished a lot of people don’t finish no no I finished I got my BS in physiological science which now is kinesiology so I was very much interested in the body the human body nutrition all that stuff right that was right at my alley do your parents want

You to become a doctor you know to be honest with you yes most Persian parents do want you to become a doctor doctor or a lawyer but I was very lucky because my parents were not very pushy in that aspect they wanted me to have good grades they wanted me to have an

Education but they didn’t really say Hey you have to be a doctor you have to be a lawyer you know so I kind of picked my own path and um I’m very thankful for that but yeah graduate from UCLA when I was going there um I was working in

Ventura actually at this gym it was a private studio and we specialized in two-on-one training and we had a lot of high-end clients because you’re in Hollywood you have a lot of you know Van Halen’s wife trained there a lot of actors and actresses trained there and one of my claim to

Fame clients was Ernie Hudson from Ghostbusters okay so for these you don’t know who Ernie Hudson is uh he’s the black actor from Ghostbusters yeah and and he’s played in other movies too but that’s like the most well-known yeah I remember when we started dating and you

Told me you’re like oh yeah I’ve trained uh celebrities and I’m like who did you train and she’s like the guy from Ghostbusters Ernie H first you said Ernie Hudson I’m like who’s Ernie Hudson and so we we still listening to those podcasts don’t be offended okay how old

Is he now I don’t know probably like 60 no high 60s probably no you guys look up Ernie Hudson how old Ernie Hudson he’s got to be close to 70 I mean I was 19 or 20 when I was training him and he was probably like maybe 20 years old older

Than me or more 25 years older than me so yeah so he’s got to be close to 70 maybe yeah Ernie Hudson now I’m curious huh 77 77 dang okay all right well well shout out to Ernie Hudson aged well he doesn’t look his age so but yeah we

Still joke about it because I remember that was one of the things you’re like oh yeah I’m used to dealing with celebrities oh my God it was so funny yeah but obviously culturally also it was a fit because of the fact that you were Persian but you also grew up here y

So very similar to myself um I came when I was two you came over when you were six so for those that are wondering um for those of you who are you know the big the you know fans of of bodybuilding you know especially the Persians they they know that I can’t

Most of them know I can’t read or write farsy I didn’t go to school there I didn’t grow up there you know I was here I was born in Kuwait moved to the states when I was two and the the biggest thing is that people will sit there and write

In farsy and I’m like no unless I can press a little translate button and then I’ll know but you have like a first grade education I do I went to first grade in Iran and then my parents moved here right after but even though we moved to California we moved to Northern

California my dad’s older brother lived there so we actually um my mom got a private tutor for my brother and I so she would come to to our home for English or fary for fary so I I have up to third grade level oh reading and

Writing which is not that High I mean I can make out words but when people send me paragraphs it takes me a really long time to read it I can read it but it just takes me a very long time it’s very difficult yeah okay so and then talking

A little bit about what got you into bodybuilding um so when I went to the gym there was a lot of competitors at goldbell specifically in Northern California and I peaked in got a friendship you know uh formed a friendship with them and would go to their shows and I didn’t know anything

About this world I would watch and they were mostly men and I didn’t even know any women competitors and then the women would come out and the their sparkly bikinis and all this stuff and I was like wow I want to look like that I

Think I can do that I’m already in the gym two three hours I can I can do that just tell me what to do and I I would read magazines from cover to cover Flex magazine muscular development I would tear out the sheets you know I would pick

Anybody’s brain that was in that world back then and you know just asking hey what do I need to eat what do I need to do and just that’s what piqu my interest was just having friends that competed back then mostly guys and then i’ I found this division that girls actually

Compete in figure or you know bodybuilding and I wasn’t obviously big enough to do bodybuilding but that’s what really got me into it and I think I was like 20 at the time when I went to my first show all the NPC uh level shows like Contra Costa San Francisco I used

To go to all those shows and just all shows but we never ran into each other until Vegas never at the USA and then you turned around and finished Chiropractic School uh by the time we met you were already done with chiropract school you were already a chiropractor and you were competing and

Then you I guess like kind of fell out of want not wanting to be a chiropractor anymore because a lot of people who have been around for a while will realize that if you see my original fc7 videos FES was in it she was working on Jake Cutler

Phil Heath I don’t did you work on Seth too yeah Seth fosi Seth Steve Kow but he wasn’t in your um video but yeah he was no he was in the second one I believe he was in refined not not the defined one because there was two fs7 videos they’re

All on YouTube um I you know we cut him up because back in the day we sell these videos we spend tens of thousands of dollars to produce them and then between the shooting the travel the editing and then manufacturing the DVDs and that’s

What we used to do I mean just like back in the day they would sell the pictures I actually I think the selling of the pictures is actually coming back a bit a little bit I might still have a few copies at nutrition Palace so if you

Guys want the fs7 Define refine I have it at the store so if you’re near Campbell you can go and grab a copy they have both of them if you yeah if you still have a CD player I don’t or DVD player DVD player or you could have to

Play it on on like a PS5 or PS4 that’s that can that takes DVDs that’s hilarious yeah um and we’re actually going out there yeah next week we right after Christmas we’re going to be going out there so a lot of people know that are from the bay area or just in

Northern California in general that you eventually opened up the the nutrition Palace store which carries a bunch of different brands I mean you have Evin you have sebum you have first form first form first form is a big one yeah you have a lot of different brands in there

I mean it’s a ton um and uh I believe you have accent Sledge I mean you have everybody I mean there’s most most of all the popular yeah you have you have a ton and so what um one thing I do want to share is because one of the questions I always

Get is why did you stop practicing yep and why did you switch over to opening up a nutrition store so that’s a very good question so I did practice for a decade 10 years um then I got you we got married I got pregnant right after I

Worked actually up until my nth month of pregnancy so I was still doing adjustments um once I took my maternity leave my job position kind of changed at the practice I was in so I decided to not go back and take their offer um because just of various reasons and I

Just wanted to be at home and experience a stay-at-home mom thing and also I didn’t was not fond ever of the amount of paperwork I had to submit for insurance because with third parties paying systems it’s it’s a little challenging I loved treating people I just didn’t like all the backend stuff

That we had to do to get reimbursed so I took care of Cam up until 5 years when he started to go to kindergarten I had a little bit more time and I was already doing weight loss fat Transformations within my chiropractic practice yeah you had a wellness I had a wellness practice

So we did everything we did in-house training we did in-house um coaching and I did Chiropractic alongside that as well and so I took the aspects that I like that were non-insurance and I talked to you and I said hey this is a great location it’s

Right across the street from a gym that I used to train at Gold Campell gold Campbell now is American barbell Campbell and I would I saw this location I brought up the idea to you of starting a supplement uh store with apparel as well as bringing coaching into it so that’s how nutrition

Palace started 5 years ago this March will be 5 years yeah it be 5 years anniversary yep and so we as Hy mentioned we do sell all different brands apparel Fitness apparel as well as Services which is coaching and right now actually if you’re interested we are

Doing oh you’re trying to use my my podcast as a plugging agent oh I see how it is I’m just letting people know we do have a New Year’s transformation because it is that time of year we do it every single year and it is a amazing program

We design custom meal plan custom nutrition custom supplementation all for you no two programs are the same you work with our nasm certified coaches all my stff well I want to talk to you about that so before you go into infomercial mode okay so here’s the deal yes you

Have been doing coaching for a very long time y you’ve also used to be a personal trainer in person okay now you are the exclusive personal trainer I shouldn’t say exclusive but you are the main personal trainer to our son our 10-year-old son cam but he comes in

Trains with me as well yes but the other thing that I want to add to this is the fact that when you came to me about hey look I don’t know if I want to go back to Chiropractic and I said what are the two what are the things you want to do

You said one of two things you said I’d like to either open a gym or I would like to open a supplement store Y and I said look with the situation in the Bay Area just it’s super super densely populated in terms of like there’s not a

Lot of new buildings there’s not a lot of new places to be able to build build a gym and I’m running the dayto days of Evin along with my team and the folk it’s it’s going to have you’re going to need a bigger staff I think that the supplement store

Would be easier to manage with just a couple of other people Y versus having a gym because as anybody knows who grew up or has lived in Silicon Valley where we’re from we didn’t choose to live there we just had our parents happen to be there because even though you and I

Met in Vegas we actually lived only 10 15 minutes away from each other um I lived in Las catus you were living in San Jose and when we met it it just kind of became serum dipitus it was just I think that when the I always wanted to say hey

Look it would be great to have a gym right but you had American barbell which again used to be gold um and you turn around and you have 49er fit and then you’d have to kind of create something there are some smaller gyms like wesa

Tori had wesa um he still does down in Downtown San Jose but for somebody like me who wanted to be able to create something I eventually would had to you we had to move here where I have you know the um the gym here the eent gym here

But it was very very difficult and I’m so glad I want to touch on this I’m so glad that we didn’t have a gym because right afterwards we hit Co Y and all the gyms shut down yeah especially in California because it was an extended

Shutdown right it was like a year and a half right and gyms had to get super creative and create outdoor spaces like Santa Cruz power and fitness they had a whole outdoor Mo Outdoors spend a ton of money move it out Camille and Chris uh took Santa Cruz power and fitness and

Shout out to them because we will see them when we go out to the Bay Area next week um they had to spend a ton of money and had to work around all of these different really really tight parameters and for a while they weren’t even allowed to do anything and then when

They were it was move everything outside everybody has to wear mask I remember driving over there and training over there because there was nowhere else to go because it was very limited on where you had you were able to train outside because most places like American barbell 49er fit and they didn’t have

Outside areas they didn’t and it was they didn’t have the capacity or didn’t want the liability or to even move their equipment outside because of the wear and tear of you know the weather so yeah it was definitely a blessing that we didn’t not open a gym because it would

Have been right in that same time frame where I opened the store in March of 2019 and then we shut down march of 2020 so if we would have opened a gym at that time we would have been shut down yeah disastrous and a lot of a lot of gyms

Ended up going out of business because of that a lot of them closed even even smaller training Studios I mean I remember we were giving money to um certain ones that were trying to raise money on their GoFundMe Pages just to stay in business and so was very sad it

Was it was and so we ended up uh deciding and you specifically say hey look I totally understand I would love to open up a gym but you know the E the economy in the Silicon Valley the expense the cost of Manpower and especially the level that we’d want to

Do it right it wouldn’t be a small scale it would be a grand scale so yeah for sure yeah so that’s why a lot of people who used to ask me why don’t you open up a gym why don’t you because we lived in the most expensive area in the country

Um between that and New York and you know certain micro pockets of Miami and La you know Silicon Valley in general the cost of living is absolutely insane and it has just gone up exponentially in the last 20 years so when you’re dealing with tech that that was always one of

The main um you know difficult uh parameters that you had to to kind of work around but so you open up the store and were able to stay open through covid again you you walk things out out in in in the parking lot hand deliver them because we had so many different things

We had to work around oh yeah I would do deliveries to people’s home we just had to restructure everything cuz we did close for a brief period of time um with people not coming in the store so we got really creative with the way we put

Content out the way we did sales we we had curbside pickups so people wouldn’t come in the store I would hand deliver them in my GTR I would be delivering all around driving everybody knew the E GTR just show up at their house giving them you know dropping off contactless you

Know we wouldn’t knock the door or anything I’d be wearing gloves and a mask it was a wild time so anyways we well especially there because they were literally going from business to business people didn’t realize other parts of country like obviously Texas was very open Florida very open other

Parts of the country were very open um even Southern California and Orange County was super open um Orange County not not Los Orange County yes yes a lot of that area was was much more open but uh silicon valy specifically I mean we had people coming you know from the

County door to door to the businesses there but eventually like I said many other supplement stores also closed and it was just it’s sad like business in general like there was restaurants and just it just crushed so many people yeah and um going back into it now as as

You’re working on this remotely since we moved to Texas and I know that that’s also very difficult because you’re like me you’re a control freak yeah you can love it yeah and um and doing now this transformation this beginning transformation beginning of the year transformation six week challenge you’re

Giving them training nutrition going over all of how how to use all of their pre-workout supplements their protein supplements all of their fat Runners putting together um and then at the end they’re going to be picking some winners to be able to give out some prizes come

Cash prizes as well as product prizes and that just so the people know I am involved with that people are asking me are you involved with that yes fairness is the main contact person that oversees it with her staff that she makes sure that they all get nasm certified so

Everyone’s getting nasm certified if they’ve been hired recently then they have amount of time to get nasm certified but all the current ones they’ve been there for more than a several months are all already nasm certified and then they are doing the check-ins with the inbody so the cool

Thing about it is you’re involved in that Y and I help you if there’s you know sticking points or you need me to review anything but you’ve been doing it for such a long time and you’ve been doing such a great job because again for many years even before you open up

Nutrition Palace you’re working on Transformations and the cool thing about it is also that even when you’re working um full-time as a chiropractor and you had the wellness you were checking blood work and you’re able to do that in the state of California when you were doing

All of those things where you could actually write for blood work and you can write for MRIs and x-rays as a chiropractor in the state of California know state to state it’s a bit different but in California that is a part of you know being able to R WR the diagnostic

Portion right yeah absolutely that was definitely within our scope as you know portal entry Physicians we were called so yeah it was something that I did and I loved and still to the stay love helping people you know and you do very detailed contest prep with like Elite

Athletes where I find my joy is helping regular people Housewives you know regular regular moms and dads or anybody that’s willing to put in the work to change their physique it’s very rewarding very fulfilling for me yeah I know I know how much you love doing it

And how you like to be able to make sure that they’re going over everything um how much of that intensity though is there because of our relationship and now you’ve created even more of a passion for it for going over those you know those those crazy details now I

Mean yeah 100% I I watch what you do and it’s on a completely different level right because most people that are have family obligations or normal daily life they’re not going to put all their focus on training and diet and stuff so I’ve learn to kind of balance that out you

Know the intensity of what you do things at to the intensity of what my clients would like to be at and it’s just like finding a middle ground but yeah it’s definitely more balanced approach what we do do well that’s cool because we’re going to be able to see a lot of people

There I know you and me and marfit so I’m just going to touch on that real quick because that is something that’s coming up marfit is um a gentleman who’s been you know killing it in the game from the in the bay 20 years and I knew

Him from Golds Bernell he was a trainer there and he’s made and carved such a niche for himself he’s called The cak Maker he’s he trains why do they call him the Cake Maker because the cake is the booty and he’s the booty connoisseur

In the Bay Area okay I did not know that yeah so um he I know it’s funny actually a chiropractor reached out to to me that I work with in California and he said so is this a um Bakery and a gym and I said no it’s just he’s the called The cak

Maker because that’s that right so people get confused but anyways he’s been doing this for 20 years he’s got an amazing following with the you know ladies in California and the community and so we are pairing up it’s going to be a one-of-a-kind tag team kind of workout with the principles of hon

You mega fit so you don’t get mega fat so you don’t get mega fat that’s awesome all right well let’s talk about this year because that’s what we really wanted to do um this year it’s the end of 2023 now we just went through the

Olympia uh we had a crazy year this year we had a couple of clients who ended up have now having babies I know was super cool soy the procreator strikes again but uh yeah as much as I like to take credit for it I can’t good thank goodness yeah yeah yeah

That way either but but but um but let’s talk about that let’s start off with with Derek right Derek if he would have done the Arnold last year or this year earlier this year because right now we’re it’s it’s going on we’re in the second week of December shooting this podcast

If he would have done the Arnold last year 99.9% Chance jelson wouldn’t have got pregnant right and then obviously his body was rested yeah and allowed him more chance to win the Olympia yep but winning the Olympia is amazing but also having a child is amazing so I’m so

Happy for him because she’s about to give birth any day any day now any day now her delivery date was supposed to be the first week of January MH and and um they’re saying now she’s pretty much almost to full term and I mean she’s like I’m walking extra I spoke to her

Yesterday and she’s like I’m doing extra walking I’m doing this I’m doing like whatever they that that the women are out there telling her to do eat spicy food eat spicy food jump up and no I’m just kidding yeah jump up and down actually I think I have heard of that I

Don’t know if it’s legit or not bounce on the ball is that is that a thing no I don’t think so they they tell you like eat spicy food move a lot you know like other stuff not G-rated I can’t say all right so so she’s she’s like look I’m

Ready she’s like I’m waddling I you know she’s at that stage where she just wants the baby out cuz it’s not comfortable anymore no you can’t sleep you can’t lay down you it’s hard to get up you know there’s constant pressure on your bladder so you have to pee a lot you

Know or you feel like you need to pee a lot so yeah I get it she just wants the baby out but they’re going to be such great parents both of them they’re she’s amazing I love her and obviously I love Derek and I’m super excited for them I

Can’t wait to meet little baby Eevee yeah baby eeve is coming yeah and then when seum heard about them having the baby getting ready to have the baby and or I should say just that jelson was pregnant y it was funny cuz he hit me up

And he’s like I want that yeah and I started laughing and I go well you know how it works you also want fries at that yeah you you want a large fries like you’re going to goad and order it off the picture menu yeah but but it was

Funny because he mentioned and I said be careful what you wish for yeah and then literally several months later Courtney’s pregnant y well you are the procreator for a reason yeah I know but that’s not the reason but but I do feel that I think that with the programs I do

Put in place it does help keep their system running obviously because I have two Olympians two you know two Mr olympas now that are both having children yep and uh it’s I’m it’s a absolutely and I’m just talking about amazing parents I cannot wait to see you

Know Courtney and um and Chris’s baby like they’re going to be great parents yeah going to be amazing parents they’re so loving you know they love each other and they just have a very strong Foundation to be just wonderful parents so super excited for them too yeah well

Hottie has three children we got to see them in Dubai first time I got to meet his wife as well as his three kids so you had Muhammad and you have Serena and I mean so he’s got two boys and a girl Y and it’s funny because and Nadia is his

Daughter n yes Nadia and um what’s what’s funny is that a lot of times in the past a lot of the bodybuilders had to wait to have you know children after their career was over and sometimes they didn’t have kids but the cool thing

About it is that uh we got to meet hotti kids and they’re so into it too I Muhammad is like he’s such a fan and he trains hard and he’s just was soaking it up and you know the I had never traveled internationally with you I’ve been to a

Lot of local within the United States I’ve been to La fit exactly all of those I’ve been to but the international support the fans it’s just on a whole other level and to be around that and him too you know he was just having I was walking the Expo with Cam

And him and he was having the time of his life cuz people recognize him they recognize C talking about Muhammad yeah Muhammad hotti chupon son yes he’s about 13 yep 13 13 years old and he’s so lovely like he Cam and him hit it off

You know Cam’s 10 but they hit it off and they were doing all the things there together they had this boxing thing where I they were just having fun so it was really cool to hang out with hotties and they don’t see the thing is Cam doesn’t speak farsy and that’s one of

The biggest regrets we have is the fact that we should have put him in there and I still think we should put him in school I speak farsy conversationally and it’s I butcher it but in and there’s such big fans in you know of bodybuilding the Iranian fans I think

Them in Brazil are the biggest bodybuilding fans when it comes to Countrywide India too probably yeah I think India yeah because of the population and probably a percentage of it but I’m talking about like hardcore fans right hardcore fans 100% And so um the amount of convers ation that

They had that they didn’t understand each other but because they’re kids they were able to kind they figure it out right and then being able to do that was really really fun yeah I think that also um he you know Muhammad his son is really getting into bodybuilding because

He didn’t they had there were some kind of issue with he was wrestling and then I think that hotti said that he broke his nose in the middle of a wrestling match or or practice or something like that something like yeah and he’s like look I want to start focusing on more

Bodybuilding so absolutely I mean he’s already at that age I mean I started when I was 13 Cameron already does a little bit of lifting he doesn’t obviously do bodybuilding per se but he’s doing stuff where he’s training and he’s also being able to do um a lot of

Uh agility stuff because he loves to play flag football but for those of you who have kids out there I mean just let them lean into whatever they love to do I mean that’s that’s the thing as long as they’re active y you know yep yeah

But it was really cool to see hot’s uh family and we got to go on a boat with them and don’t forget we had food we had Muhammed Fuda which is really Cameron and him hit it off Fooda bought him a burger which is the way to Cam’s heart

If anybody wants to know and these amazing cookies out in Dubai so we got to go on the boat with Muhammad Fuda his wife um hottie’s whole family some of his friends Phil and Sheree his wife it was such a wonderful night I mean it was

So cool to be there because we don’t normally get to hang out with them outside of a show setting which is super stressful usually right cuz you’re there to do a job but this time we got to hang out with our family and let the our

Families kind of bond and it was super cool and Dubai was just beautiful yeah we got to go with uh Phil and Sheree to uh the desert Dunes yeah that was fun saw some wild camels M went and did some duning that was awesome and then we did

The boat ride with the whole team and then we had just I mean it was it was really good because like you said it kind of worked out to be a perfect storm because we had I wasn’t going to go to Dubai uh because I had just been there

When uh two months before right with hottie a couple months before that before the prep I mean during the prep and then what happened was the Dubai muscle was going to happen but it was going to be during Thanksgiving everyone’s like you going to go I said

No I’m not going to leave my family for Thanksgiving yeah well when we talked about it and you’re like well Cam’s off school why don’t we consider going and I said would would you really like to go and he’s like yeah it would be fun because we you know you’d never been to

Dubai he’d never been to Dubai no so and it was an amazing experience I mean it was a very long flight back and forth but it was 100% worth it it’s so cool yeah and we got to hang out with Rudy pada we Eduardo Pata and so that part of

Our extended family of you know our Italian cousins that are out there they’re they’re such a wonderful family and any and we did a few dinners with them and cam just loves Rudy that’s like his grandpa you know third Grandpa yeah well because Rudy is not just a lovable

Guy and just such a nice caring guy but he is a person that again you know he speaks Bok English um I actually think he speaks really good English I just don’t think he likes to speak English because he’s perfectionist yeah just like his machines he likes to perfect

Everything he’s doing but when we speak I mean it’s perfectly fine but sometimes you know he’ll turn around and he’ll um you know say oh my English is not no dude English is fine I mean you can definitely and but again uh the caring the dinners the going out as as a group

Fil being with Pata now is great um um you know seeing everybody together was awesome and um yeah it it’s it’s it’s a really cool experience and I feel that being able to for the first time after all these years going into the portion of the family because again it’s so hard

Just to bring cottie over let alone his family so his family was allow to get visas to come into Dubai so that was great and being able to connect there um there’s very few places um between there and I believe um from what I heard um turkey is another spot which actually I

Want to go to um so shout out to Turkey I heard that it’s got some amazing islands and some different areas so we’re going to definitely go to Turkey at some point you want to go turkey absolutely okay yeah so I think we want to go to Turkey so if anybody that wants

To go and meet us up in Turkey let me know maybe we’ll do a seminar or something out in Turkey um but yeah so again it was a crazy crazy year but I think that the um you know the hair implants aside you know cuz cuz went

There you might come back with a head s s already try was talking [ __ ] you know about the hair transplant he’s like why didn’t I get a hair transplant because I have a lovely head her I don’t need the hair transplant SE buum different story he needed a hair transplant he went out

Dom Ian all those guys that’s all right they don’t have this beautiful scalp scalp to be I don’t need to cover this up he wants to share it with the world that’s right that’s right right well you told me when I you know I used to have

Hair when I met you yeah and um I mean it was hanging on by thread but you had like this is this is why I didn’t know if I was a good idea bringing her on one of those but um you know looking into the entire year I want to just

Touch on a couple of the main aspects of this year it was really difficult because obviously you guys all know who are listening to this that seum tour is lat 10 weeks out and to the point where we didn’t know if was going to be able to

Do the show or not yeah highly stressful situation yeah so that was going on um and then also then Courtney getting pregnant and then you know they kept that uh kind of hush hush because they you know it’s Chris and and Courtney are very private individuals anyways but

They’re trying to focus on being able to prep yeah and being able to try to make the best version of thems because everything up until that point was going so well yeah but as I always say it God gives you um different things to be able

To create abilities to grow y right y emotionally spiritually um physically all of those things so you have to lean into those things and understand them and he did and it was a very very difficult prep but it all worked out and I feel that uh with Derek also you know

The situation with him and hottie that was also very difficult too because when you look at it it was so close very close it was so close and everybody wants me to talk about and I will go into more and more detail about this but it was very close and I knew

Going into it it was going to be close yeah and I felt that also during prejudging and the finals and everything else it it was going to you know it could have went either way absolutely and um and I think Tyler did a good job

Breaking it down and he put a lot of emphasis into these videos that he put out Tyler Manan uh vice president and again he talk about somebody who grew up in this industry oh yeah Tyler you know was younger than Cameron when I met

Tyler back in the day and so he was also trying to make a consorted effort to explain things now not everybody will always agree with everybody yeah but at the end of the day he’s explaining where his head was and the other judges were when they made their decision so if you

Haven’t seen that video definitely I recommend going out and seeing it but I feel that because of what happened this year and going into next year I definitely want to be able to bring you in more often and being able to talk a little bit about the different things that go on to

Give a little bit of perspective and also because I feel like sometimes with some of the women that are going to want you I’m I’m going to want to bring more women into the truth podcast because I feel like as much as the sport isn’t as quote unquote big on the women’s side

It’s just as important and I feel like um um it’s the same reason why I brought Sid Gillian into Evin yeah you know Sid was a multi-year champion yeah when I brought her in but it was because I found out that she was a customer and we

Brought her in but I feel that some of the companies need to make an investment into more of the women’s side absolutely and it’s one of those things that you don’t understand the women are just as important if not more important because what happens is if you look at the true

Numbers of who who’s competing in the show the women’s side is is huge yeah but I feel like they don’t get as much love as they deserve because of the fact that they don’t seem to just get as much of that notoriety yeah and in in the comp

In the competitive space so um we’re going to bring Sid in okay talk about that a little bit you know uh seven time champ yeah and she’s just a lovely person so educated such a Class Act you know she’s so multifaceted it’s not just her being an amazing competitor she’s

Just an amazing person so yeah she really is and she’s somebody who is driven works hard got to meet her parents oh her mom is so lovely yeah she really you can tell you know the Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree with that one because she comes from an amazing

Family and I feel that um she can help set some of the tone but even some of the amateurs and some of the other people that we’ had in even here uh with everything that was going on with the Mr Olympia competition coming out then also

The other thing that I got to do is balance out a bit of the competition side but with the influencer side with my relationship with young LA and I feel like that also has really given me a deeper appreciation for where the influencers sit in the ecosystem and now

A lot of the influencers are now wanting to compete because of the fact that they see a cbum or you know because it’s a platform and I feel that number one everybody should compete because of discipline do you agree with with that or I agree with that I don’t think

Everyone can compete because it’s very hard you know it’s it’s you have to dig deep and sacrifice like you said not your family members may not understand it your ex-girlfriends were like why can’t you just eat pizza like it’s hard it’s hard to deal with that day in day

Out but it is the number one thing that teaches you discipline and then you can apply it in every aspect of your life so if you have the you know the inkling to want to compete and you think you can do it definitely you should try it at least

Once yeah and I feel that even if you don’t compete and get on that that stage then maybe start off with something like a transformation because that will give you the discipline and then if you feel like you’re comfortable with that then go and add that to your kind of 100% baby steps

Because it’s it’s a very extreme sport do you agree yes it’s not it’s not no but if you’re young it you’re more likely to be able to go through boot camp yeah if you’re older and you’re like look I don’t need to get on stage I

Have a career I have this I that well then do transformation but if you’re someone who’s younger get on stage because it’s going to make you a best version of yourself because you’re going to have that discipline it’s going to help you with your relationship your personal relationships it’s going to

Help you also with your professional relationships like people that you work around you so whether you’re an entrepreneur and you want to use it for Content or whether you want to work and become an entrepreneur and you’re working for a company it’s going that discipline is going to make you the best

Version of yourself because what it does is it keeps you accountable yeah 100% I could I could also Play Devil as Advocate and say it can hurt relationships because it’s so self-focused right and so um you know everything’s centered around what you’re doing but that’s why you need to have a

Good support system exactly but if somebody is not willing to do that and give you the latitude of having that in your life then maybe they shouldn’t be with you yeah because how many people do you see if you really pay attention to couples that are not bodybuilders right

You have a woman who is with a professional bodybuilder and then you look at her and go wow she doesn’t look like she belongs here but it’s not because physically she belongs here but emotionally she’s vested she’s helping them with their food they’re helping them with their prep they’re having you

Know the having to balance it out because again relationships aren’t always about balance because it’s give and take at different points the relationship just like you and I right you come in you help out with hottie you help out with all these people that come into town when seum was here um when

Derrick’s here and we go back and forth on how you know how we have to control you know the narrative when it comes to hey uh cam has some different uh sporting events you take care of all of those things because you allow me to do

What I need to do but it’s a give and take thing so but again it’s not always about 5050 it’s going to be 7030 and then it then you have to turn around and make it 7030 the other way to help balance that out yeah and that’s a hard

Thing to do relationships are hard 100% they’re very hard yep but yeah to you to your point it’s just seeing I’ve always viewed it as I respect what you do I know what it takes and I try to fill in the gaps where you need me you know

Whether it’s at home to do everything for cam or to hold down the household while you travel go see your athletes or when they come into town and need to prep their food or do whatever whatever it takes that’s what I’m going to do to help you be successful and be to not

Worry about anything else right but it’s also because you appreciate what I do and you appreciate the sport you’re the C same person who would rather go sit and watch at the Nationals where I’m going to be like hey I’m going to be at the booth or I’m going to turn around

And have conversations that because I love the sport I love watching it you love watching fan of the sport first and foremost and I know the level of sacrifice every single person makes to be on that stage so I respect it yeah and I feel that because of that that’s

What allows you to have a great relationship like you and I have in terms of this like like being able to learn that balancing thing because of that nature but again it’s not always perfect it’s not always you know unicorns and rainbows no you know like

Anything else but I do feel that when it comes to the athletes we always try to put them first absolutely and that’s that that that was the thing that makes it huge huge huge um 2024 a lot of questions are what are our goals what’s my personal goal and part

Of it is also just being able to expand on what we’ve done for 2023 which is we have the gym up and running so that the athletes can come in and we can be able to have a dedicated space um you’ve been training here Cam’s been here yep love

It the equipment is top Notch obviously panata equipment and it’s just an amazing set of equipment that you have in there for every body part so I love coming in here yeah and I think that we’re going to continue to be able to build out a schedule of what we’re doing

With the gym we have some big announcements about when we’re going to be able to bring some people in um we have some different dates where we’re going to be open to the to public and again RSVP um some just some different things on that uh on that front um we’re going

To be shooting some more content for the FST 7 app for 2024 updates on that so uh we’ve been doing those regular updates now we’re going to continue to keep building that out um coaching so that’s something that’s super exciting because I do have the coaching weit list and

We’re going to be starting to contact everybody starting in January about that on my side so that’s going to be obviously way different than what you’re doing with uh nutrition Palace but it’s going going that’s a transformation challenge six weeks transformation challenge for my personal coaching where

Everybody keeps asking me what is that all about I am created a waiting list on my hot.com page for those of you that want coaching from me and my team so what I’m going to do is I’m going to have a couple different options and that

Information is going to be sent out to you guys in January so now that we’ve kind of caught our breath from being traveling in Dubai having the Olympia getting through uh doing all the things that we’ve been doing for Evin now I’m going to be focusing back on some of the

Coaching aspects of uh my career and uh you know I think having the Nationals here now in Texas it’s going to be here for at least the next couple of years and being there last year getting back into not just coaching competitors but also some of you out there that are

Hitting me up about just lifestyle and just doing their own personal journey of getting to the best version of themselves or getting back to their best version of themselves if you’re interested in that go sign up it’s just a a weit list and then you’ll get hit up

With all the different options that are going to be coming up in January that we’ve been working on so again 20124 um and then last but not least we’re GNA talk about hotti chopon for a second um hottie is doing the Arnold Classic so I do want to announce that he

Is doing the Arnold Classic now there is one little tid bitter caveat to that which is obviously he still got to get all of the paperwork all finished up for his Visa because this would be his first time doing a show in America outside of the Olympia so this is something that

We’ve been working on so we’re just you know needing to complete that but um it looks good we’re working on it it’s not completed yet but he is preparing for the 2024 Arnold Classic so it’s going to be something where um very exciting and

Uh he’s very hungry Y and he wants to be able to go out there and show the best version of himself and just continue to improve absolutely so again it’s been an amazing 2023 congratulations to Derrik Lunsford again on winning being the champ champ the champ champ champ champ
