Christian Yordanov
Hey so I'm back from Anarcapulco in Mexico I came back today's Monday i came back last Friday evening and I was held up an extra four days due to the bombings there on the Sunday morning of the the 22nd so that was a bit of an adventure but that was after the conference so today i just want to kind of give you my recap of my experience of an arcapulco 2026 and just share some some of the just a few of the moments that i shared with the amazing amazing people that were there just like i'm telling you
00:00:41
Christian Yordanov
these are the best people in the world that go to this conference. I was just making friends left, right and center everywhere. um And really, even despite after the event, after all this craziness that happened in Mexico and being stuck there and, you know, a little bit of anxiety around the whole thing for the first few hours,
00:01:03
Christian Yordanov
in spite of all that i would probably go like repeat it in a heartbeat and and go again next year unless there's some crazy you know world war three nonsense going on um so yeah so I um I arrived there in in Mexico in Puerto Vallarta this is the the new location of the conference I arrived there on the 14th of of February almost almost with one two Two and a half weeks ago. Wow.
00:01:34
Christian Yordanov
Wow. Feels like ages ago. um But yeah, so I arrived there nine in the morning after like a, you know, 30-hour trip, to a 30-minute taxi to the train, you know, wait 20 minutes, then like three-hour train, then wait for like three hours, get to the airport, and then a fly from Lisbon to Paris, from Paris to Mexico City, and then, you know, to Puerto Vallarta. And it's like...
00:02:00
Christian Yordanov
just waiting and just the whole trip there is an ordeal in and of itself like you're already wrecked by the time you get there you know and again in spite of all of that i'm going in three years in a row and in spite of all of the suffering to get there and the time zone changes really which really wrecks you ah I so keep going because like the people just again, the and if you were there you know, you know the people are just amazing, you know freedom-minded, open-minded, um no BS, NPC shit if you if you know what I mean. So just really nice and you learn something from everybody that's the thing like
00:02:42
Christian Yordanov
everybody has their own sort of rabbit holes that that they've they've kind of gone in gone down so you know i'm happy to share stuff my rabbit holes around health but as soon as like something turns to other topics i'm like open to to hearing other people and it's just you learn from every conversation you learn something and you're enriched just by being there just just being in that field of people to me is enriching in and of itself even if you're like an introvert just hanging out there, you know, in a corner would be beneficial type thing, you know. So, yeah, so I arrived nine in the morning on on the Saturday, wait, 14th, mean.
00:03:20
Christian Yordanov
And
00:03:22
Christian Yordanov
and I somehow I just took a bunch of naps like I slept like a baby, you know, basically wake up, ah sleep, wake up, you know, take a dump, sleep, wake up, the explosive diarrhea, whatever, you know, the food's terrible on these airports and stuff. um But I did bring my own sort of snacks and stuff. So that really helped me over a lot through throughout the the the conference. And even having been held back an extra four days, I had a lot of stuff to kind of fall back on.
00:03:53
Christian Yordanov
Clean, organic snacks and stuff. But ah somehow with the naps I took, I woke up at 6 p.m. Mexico time, which would be midnight my time in Portugal. Somehow I woke up.
00:04:08
Christian Yordanov
was like, I feel fine. Let me go out. that there was ah the There was a bar there that was going to be the bar of the kind of where people would congregate after the event if they wanted to. So I went there to to see what's up, see what's going on. And it was relatively early, maybe seven o'clock maybe.
00:04:24
Christian Yordanov
So not many people, but already I saw some familiar faces from previous years. There was a dude there, David, who was working... helping with the, you know, the stage, really awesome dude. So I sat down with them made some new friends there, some really cool people. Shout out Jordan, if you're listening. And just immediately, it's like, boom, you're with your you're with your family type thing. You know you're just having conversations, having fun. They were doing a bit of a karaoke night. So we're like, you know, making asses of ourselves, which was ah always a lot of fun.
00:04:58
Christian Yordanov
and then an hour or so later charlie robinson came so i was like yeah my my my bro uh so that was epic i got to spend like a lot of the night with charlie just talking heart to heart kind of sharing stuff like more personal stuff kind of you know just it's a great opportunity you don't get these opportunities over zoom and over like pot like you know when you're interviewing people or working on stuff um So it's really nice to really connect with people at ah at a deep personal level that way.
00:05:27
Christian Yordanov
It was such an amazing thing. And then also what happened was I had sent almost about 45 or 50 books of my book to that bar so that I could collect them there so I wouldn't have to bring them with me.
00:05:45
Christian Yordanov
and But what Amazon had done is they had packaged each of my books individually in a box. So there was like 45, 50 boxes there that i was like, oh shit, I got to get these to the to the event. ah So thank God Charlie was with me. So we took a taxi and he helped me like throw all the boxes in two big massive trash bags that the guys gave us from the bar and threw them in the trunk of the car. And ah the next morning I was like processing. It took me like an hour to like open each box and like, you know, throw the boxes away and and just get the books were like a little bit bent. They weren't like...
00:06:28
Christian Yordanov
i don't know what happened with the printers, but the the the covers wouldn't close well. So i had I had them stacked on top of each other with weight on top to just kind of, you know, even out the covers, which was worked fine. But I was like, that was fun.
00:06:41
Christian Yordanov
And then, so then the next day was Sunday. That's where we went like to to see the location. it was like, ah ah you know, for the speakers and everybody involved in the event. it was like a little bit like just kind of showing us around the venue. And when I looked at the venue, this was the convention center in Puerto Vallarta.
00:06:57
Christian Yordanov
which is very near the hotels, very near the the airports, or really handy locations. When I looked at it ah prior to being there on the website, I'm like, i was thinking, you know, this is like a pretty corporate vibe here. I'm not sure if if this will work as well as the previous location in Acapulco, that secret garden. That was such a cool vibe.
00:07:18
Christian Yordanov
like it's like you know it's a garden there was like pools and like grassy areas and like palms and just the vibe was like super like in nature super nice um however the uh downsides to that were heat humidity and in the evening time uh little mother beach mother beach mosquitoes that would absolutely devour my delicious nutrient dense blood those little mother bitches i hate them so much so in the puerto vallarta venue you're in the conference center and it was actually like the vibe was a hell of a lot cooler than i expected because you have space there's like two floors you have the vi vip dining area the vip area those workshop areas there was like a second stage it was the main stage which was you know huge it good could hold hundreds and hundreds of people i think it was like 700 plus people at the event so that that was like really big and all the like the body workers and all all the like people with stands and like vendors they were like uh kind of in front of the sort of on the way from the exit to the to the main stage there were there was like this area where you could you know get like crystals and like body work treatments and there was actually um uh one business from puerto vallarta dental center that they they were doing liquid you know the um nad plus and meyers cocktail vitamin drips which was really cool and you could get like you know microdose iboga chocolate and other uh microdose stuff and and and mushrooms and
00:08:53
Christian Yordanov
various just there was like a lot of cool like products for sale there was the masterpiece one of the guys from masterpiece was there ah so there was like a just there was like another couple they were doing um five meo dmt retreats and there was on like another clinic i'm gonna have those guys on the podcast they they have like a clinic in mexico in chihuahua uh that do like like really like help people with very complex cases i mean just the amount of people you meet is is unbelievable they had the the tesla machine set up and people were could get sessions there mini sessions with it um just like the vibe was awesome it was buzzing it was like i'd be there like i'd wake up it because when for me i'd wake up super early because i was used to you know waking up six hours earlier everything is six hours earlier for me in portugal so i'd wake up early i'm like buzzing all right let's go let's go get out of get out of this hotel
00:09:48
Christian Yordanov
So um I'd be there like 8.30, 9 in the morning. And until the first three nights, I would be out until like, geez, man, like 11, 12. So that was like... ah by Tuesday evening, i was like, no, dude, I got to go home and sleep because on Wednesday was my my talk, my presentation. But I was already losing my voice. I was already getting anxiety. Oh, my God. I was a little bit too excited the first a couple of nights and having a little bit too much fun. So i starting to already lose my voice because they're like shouting and and like,
00:10:25
Christian Yordanov
ah We're laughing and you know having animated conversations. So i was that was like one of the the things that was kind of giving me anxiety about my presentation.
00:10:36
Christian Yordanov
So monday Monday, you had like this cool shamanic opening with Christoph Nokizedek. And I didn't see that because I was already... I had already planned with my friend Anthony Samaroff, who was on the podcast last year after I met him at on Arcapulco.
00:10:54
Christian Yordanov
And I got a session of body work with him. there He works with the IHEAL Collective. that They were also on the podcast recently. the the two founders, Sean and Baudre. So I had told him, listen, dude you I'm booking you for a full 10 hours. you know I want five sessions while I'm at Monarchapook. I want you to work on me like you know like I need the work.
00:11:18
Christian Yordanov
Because if there's one thing when it comes to health and and and and and and all this stuff, one thing I probably and lacking the most is just having the motivation to do a lot of like mobility stuff and like at the end of the day like foam rolling and just kind of I tend to like when I sit at the computer i i can work for hours on end you know and I when I'm working especially if I'm working on a project I'm like I can put in like hours and hours and hours and then things things happen you know I have to like you know be a dad and and and and stuff so it seems like it's always like the last thing uh if it even gets um addressed so having someone actually work out the tension in these sort of kinetic chains and and attention bands starting at the fingers and the toes that has a lot of that has a lot of leverage in the body because you if you get the tension out of the hands in the in the in the feet
00:12:15
Christian Yordanov
then a lot of tension elsewhere like up the arms, up the legs, the neck, you know the the obviously the torso starts to release and and and and you know dissipate. So i was like, dude, we're doing we're doing a full, every day, we're doing a session and we did absolutely every single day. Some days we couldn't do a full two hours.
00:12:36
Christian Yordanov
So would do an hour, but then we caught up. you know So over the the course of that five six days um that I was there, with i got I got body work every single day.
00:12:48
Christian Yordanov
And it was absolutely amazing. i would highly recommend it to to anyone, you know, especially especially if you have chronic pain and things like that. So that that was Monday. I saw, you know, Gareth Ike was presenting. I saw that and I saw, who else did I see? Oh man, there's so many people, so many cool speakers. yeah i only I only saw a few presentations and I'm definitely planning on watching the like the the replays.
00:13:13
Christian Yordanov
you get those lifetime replays actually i will include my link if you want to get the the replays there's some really good presentations um and you'll be able to get a discount or throw that in there of course you don't have to use it but you you would get like a whatever 10 discount if you do want to get the live replays um so That was like Monday, and then there was a poker tournament then in the in the evening that you know had they had organized. i i don't remember, like 15 players, 14 players of that. So I just hung out there with...
00:13:41
Christian Yordanov
ah um ah Actually, I forgot to mention one of the the best parts of of the whole event experience was meeting some of my clients in real life that I hadn't yet met. So ah Victor and and Johnny, i um I saw them already on the Sunday, which was when they did this open night opening night party where they had a bit of you know house music and stuff. So I saw them, it was so nice to kind of just hang out with them all throughout the week and and just have fun together and just talk. And it was such an amazing experience. I had like, I think five at least five clients that were there and obviously a couple of the the speakers or clients of mine, i I do work with them. But like I've had like five five clients that came to me through like through podcasts and stuff like Charlie Robinson's podcast, TinFoHead podcast, things like that. So it's so awesome to see these people that I've been working with for like a the past year to actually see them in real life. Oh my God, you were actually you actually exist and hug them and it was epic. um
00:14:48
Christian Yordanov
So yeah, so that was Monday. So so myself and um ah Victor and Johnny were hanging out. we I think me and Victor kind of stayed ah later for that, for the...
00:15:03
Christian Yordanov
The poker tournament. That was very interesting because I used to play a lot of poker. I loved the game. So I was watching pretty intently what's going on, you know, who's the fish and whatever. I almost entered, but it was like I was $1,000 to enter. I'm like, no way. I just can't. I'd rather use that $1,000 for the body work, which would give me a last... Because even if I double my money, it's like, okay, oh I have doubled my money, but what am I going to do with that money?
00:15:28
Christian Yordanov
I'd rather... invest in the sure thing which is the bodywork with Anthony and the high heel guys and get those these benefits that last a long time it's not like a massage where you relax for a day it's it lasts you know so yeah but what was cool about the tournament is that Jeff Burwick, the main man that kind of organized the the conference, he actually i watched I was watching him quite intently, see how he played and stuff. and He actually got pocket aces twice in a row. So i was like so i knew i remembered that the odds to get aces you know yeah art um as your yeah your starting hand,
00:16:11
Christian Yordanov
that's like one in two hundred and twenty so if you play 220 hands of poker on average one in those 220 hands you would be dealt pocket aces but what he did is he got aces twice in a row so i kind of did the the math if you multiply 220 by 220 i don't remember now what it was but let's see 220 times 220 oh yeah so the odds were about one in 48 000 to get pocket aces in a row so pretty insane odds you know so that's kind of cool and i was watching also the dealer
00:16:46
Christian Yordanov
because you know people are like like people that are newbies to to this kind of stuff they're like oh it's really good it's pretty hard to do that it's pretty hard to rig aces and then do it twice in a row um like without some interesting gymnastics with the hands so and i was watching the guy he wasn't like some virtuoso with the with the dealing and he was just like a normal car dealer and uh Yeah, so it it it does happen and I've had it happen to me when I was playing and I've had a lot of improbable things happen. So it does happen. It's just the funny thing is the synchronicity of it happening then that day. know what I mean? And so that was kind of fun we just because we were just hanging around the table and just kind of chatting with some people that I had met previously at the conference and some new faces and
00:17:32
Christian Yordanov
quite a lot of old faces actually like from you and from two years ago and from last year and people that were regulars so it's really sweet to just kind of catch up with people have fun just like a lot of laughs and it was epic but then Victor i think Victor had to go home or to the back home to the hotel early my client because he he was supposed to have his bufo ceremony the next day which was moved from from the Monday So I had, it was about, i think at one o'clock on Tuesday, and i had the the immense honor and pleasure to actually, I asked him, do you know do you mind if I come and sit with you while you do your Bufo ceremony? And Bufo is the basically the toad venom, the 5-A-M-E-O-D-M-T, the mystical...
00:18:21
Christian Yordanov
uh entheogenic uh medicine if in case you don't know what that is 5-MeO-DMT also known as Bufo from the Bufo Toad the Sonoran Desert Toad um so he was like yeah hell yeah man you you you yeah come with me So we're sitting there and you know the shaman, Bearheart, that does the ceremony such an awesome guy, you know ah he was like kind of explaining things to Victor and kind of you know talking with him and I was over it man i was already crying.
00:18:51
Christian Yordanov
it was It was such a powerful experience. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to do a whole episode on just that whole, the Bufo side of the um the of the my experience with it. Because I also did a session on the Friday gonna help with my client Johnny. I'm going to talk all about that in a separate episode, maybe tomorrow or the next day, just because it's so there's so much to unpack there. It's such ah such a powerful medicine. But yeah, so it was really awesome.
00:19:17
Christian Yordanov
Just to kind of sit there and and watch him sort of descend into this journey. And just the the look on his face was just of absolute sort of peace, serenity and bliss.
00:19:30
Christian Yordanov
And um man, it's just so powerful. like it and But what what that did for me is also it... took away some of the anxiety for me because the previous year when I did it with Charlie Robinson I had a lot of anxiety and then I struggled a lot I kind of resisted a lot and that made it very uncomfortable in the initial phases until I truly let go and then I was like oh my god why did I do all that why did I struggle so much that was amazing you know but you live and learn but i was still nervous this year you know still nervous because you have to respect the medicine you can't just go in there flippantly because like it it's not that it like has bad intentions but sometimes it it might um if you go in there with the ego sort of uh in the driver's seat you may get a bit of a lesson like you know
00:20:19
Christian Yordanov
ah so But anyway, so that that was really amazing to be a part of Victor's ah journey and you know like obviously he was a client up until then but it goes without saying that we are now friends for life but it's so much more than that because now after this and not this event spending so much time together, like this this man is like a a brother for life for me, not just a friend for life, a brother for life. you know So such an amazing... again event that brings us together that we can make these relationships.
00:20:49
Christian Yordanov
and And beyond just these kinds of friendships, like people are coming there and they're you know coming out with partnerships and you know ah just collaborations in in the in the coming months and years that are really valuable you know to the to the sort of freedom community. So that was Tuesday. I also... um i also did ah that IV.
00:21:12
Christian Yordanov
Because I was already like... was wrecked. I was bollocksed by Tuesday already. I just... I went too hard the first three nights. I was like out a lot and...
00:21:24
Christian Yordanov
shouting at the top of my lungs. was like, oh man, dude, like what is wrong with me? Because you're so excited to to see everybody, you know? So I did the IV with the the Myers cocktail, which is a bunch of vitamins, some minerals and NAD plus. So I did that. It takes about like 45, 50 minutes. So I did that in kind of the morning time, which I think perked me up. I didn't really feel...
00:21:50
Christian Yordanov
any different that day but that you know over the next few few days instead of feeling worse and more tired as normally it happens I just progressively started recovering from the whole um the travel in the first three days of ah maybe partying a bit too much so I think it really helped me just kind of stabilize and then start improving like my everything and then also I did with the Iheel collective guys they ah they sell these um hydrogen machines they always bring one to kind of show people so people can actually you you know take the hydrogen water they take the molecular hydrogen water that they make whilst they're there and then you can also sit there and breathe it in through the nose with the tube so i also sat there for like half an hour breathing the hydrogen that also kind of perks you up i did that a few times over the week with them or actually the next week because i stayed in their house for a couple of days at the end and i used that machine quite a lot and at first you're like okay it's just doing anything but then like you you know if you do like 40 minutes on this i'm like i i i just took it off and i stood up and i'm like okay all right i'm good i'm good i feel good you know so very very interesting so i did that on tuesday they kind of gave me some stuff baudre the one of the founders of the rheel collective she gave me some stuff you know
00:23:13
Christian Yordanov
I but bought some products from them, of course, for for myself and for my wife. They have awesome like DMSO eye drops and ear drops and these like sprays that are quite versatile for the skin. for I was using it for the throat, that spray, because was coughing so much as well from just like my voice was absolutely shot, like I said, you know. So that was Tuesday, just kind of more of a recovery day, just meeting a lot of people throughout the day, of course. Like I was selling some of my books to people, just kind of bartering, you know, exchanging for a t-shirt or whatever people had mostly. i sold like one or two books, ah um just like, you know, properly. But it was just a fun a fun kind of experience. Just say, hey, do you want a book? And i what do you got? And maybe we can swap and whatever. And actually, Mike um Wilkerson, he did an amazing, an amazing presentation. on he does this biogeology stuff.
00:24:12
Christian Yordanov
man like the guy is just like next level he he does like he collects ah these stones that he shows that have all of these features of hearts so they could be like petrified and just like all these like old giants and trees being cut down he has like The amount of evidence this guy has on his YouTube channel, Stellium7, is insane. I'm going to have him on the podcast soon. So he lives in Spain. So I gave him one of my books um as like, you know, just kind of a thank you for what you do. So he gave me one of his ah his new books. And it's basically the dude, he's a chiropractor, um but he used to he was basically ah the one of the first hackers to to be, um you know,
00:25:00
Christian Yordanov
I guess I think he did some prison time, I can't remember now, so much information. he was like, before it was kind of cool, before in the media, he was one of like the first to be arrested over hacking, think Microsoft he said and some other companies. So really like just really cool individual and this is the kind of people you meet there. It's unbelievable people, amazing people and so warm and inviting and opening, you know. But that was Tuesday, in the evening, Jeff Berwick was kind enough to offer any of the speakers that wanted to do a private session with the Tesla machine. That's the sort of the plasma machine that you kind of you pull it out of the ether and you kind of place it on the body. so like hell yeah i want to try this and luckily you know i had the the kind of the the voice issue that my throat was sore so i went there and you know the guys were like helping me put it on kind of the throat area and i even put it on my eyes in the second session that i did uh and at first you're scared but because it's plasma and like what the hell is don't know what this is but like you quickly take to it and actually of the dudes mariano he
00:26:11
Christian Yordanov
He showed me as he was holding the two bulbs together, he put his um index fingers together and he basically slightly slowly pulled them apart and you could see a spark sort of form between them. It was absolutely insane. and I don't know much or anything about this stuff but I'm pretty fascinated that's why I wanted to try it because you know like when you look at you know the pentagram not like the inverted satanic pentagram but the regular up upside up pentagram that kind of symbolizes the five elements now we are kind of told that there's four elements you know earth
00:26:50
Christian Yordanov
water, wind, fire, you know, so sun, the sun is fire, air is air, water is water and earth is earth, right, but these these are kind of the elements that, you know, create life on earth, you know, when think about it, all the minerals and the nutrients from the soils, that we need the sun, the plants need the sun, we all need air, the animals need air, and then of course we are water-based, you know, organisms, right, but then the fifth element is the ether right and this used to be talked a lot about uh talked about a lot back in the day and it's kind of like the sort of the i suppose the prana or whatever it's like the the force basically i don't know god you could say it but it's the force that kind of glues everything together that animates life and you know so this is what sort of
00:27:42
Christian Yordanov
this technology is supposed to do is like to pull this sort of plasma out of the ether I don't know how it works but it's Tesla Nikola Tesla technology so it's very fascinating so I use that um and then we had dinner with the guys there just sharing stories they're really cool people amazing people so that was really fun and then Wednesday the next day was my talk my talk was like 2 So i was very nervous, as I really have to say. i was nervous because, um you know, my voice, and I was like, the the presentation was way too long.
00:28:17
Christian Yordanov
But... um ah i oh I was talking to people after the fact and people were like, you know what, like you you you seem like one of the most genuine people up there. And and I think that they meant it in a good way in terms of like a lot of the the other guys and gals presenting, they present a lot more, you know, so they're a lot more polished and stuff. And I'm sure if if I present more, it will all be a lot more polished. But um they're like, you know, you you came across as like just genuine and and like people really respected that. So kind of like that. I definitely feel like I blew a few minds anyway, even though I didn't get to the fasting piece. I wanted to talk about the why fasting is not good for you. People's heads would have, you know, exploded. um
00:28:59
Christian Yordanov
And then in hindsight, if I were to do the next presentation somewhere a conference, it would be only on fasting. I am sure some people's heads would like literally explode, like splatter their brains across the walls and on on other people. that's That's how it would go down. But I think, yeah, and i was trying to, I was putting in a lot like dad jokes and like jokes, like I like to joke around. So people people were laughing. and Some people told me like people were like laughing a lot. so Because you don't know when you're presenting, you hear laughter, but you know how many people are laughing type thing. So people were laughing. I'm happy that people were laughing.
00:29:36
Christian Yordanov
um So that was Wednesday. And I honestly don't you Oh, yeah. So right after the that, ah my presentation, as I was going out of the... of ah As I was going out of the...
00:29:49
Christian Yordanov
the the main presentation area, one of my clients, John, that I had met ah last year, I didn't know he was going to be there lot the previous year or maybe I did, I can't remember, but this year I didn't know because I forgot to ask him if he's coming again, but he had come and he just we just hadn't spoken so I didn't know he's there, so just he just jumps at me out of the blue.
00:30:12
Christian Yordanov
and uh so i got to chat with him i think the next day a bit more but uh so he had done a private session with that um christoph milk is a deck dude he's like the shaman and he's he so it was kind of interesting to hear his experience with it so that was pretty cool and then after that he had done the buffo ceremony you know with with bare heart so the dude was like just absolutely in you know on cloud nine he was like whoa So was such an amazing thing to to kind of also, again, see another client that had done the Bufo and just really,
00:30:48
Christian Yordanov
again um allayed some of my anxiety about the experience because like I said the previous year the experience was pretty pretty rough to begin with at least um so that was kind of Wednesday and i was again meeting lots of people was epic it was epic um oh I saw another couple of clients then a little bit later on I can't remember, was it Wednesday or or was it Thursday, but um it was a couple.
00:31:20
Christian Yordanov
ah ah I won't mention their names because I don't know if they'd be okay with that. But so they were there with the two kids and the lady's pregnant with their third. So obviously she couldn't like do anything. But the the other dude...
00:31:35
Christian Yordanov
ah ah the Alex, he was about to go in to do the bufo ceremony a little bit later on. And he I saw him a few hours later and he had gone from...
00:31:50
Christian Yordanov
all these lizard people baby pretty black field conversation later on i was like how was it he's like oh man wow okay there is good in the world you know so he was like smiling he he looked very kind of happy and uh i was again really nice to see um him kind of experience that before the before and after was really cool and then i honestly at this point like it it becomes a blur ah Thursday I can't even remember so much what was going on I was getting more body work and it was epic and talking to lots of people then I remember so Friday this is where kind of got a little bit for me intense because I had a from two o'clock to five o'clock i was doing my three-hour workshop that I
00:32:39
Christian Yordanov
that I had planned to hold. And so it was three hours long and I had planned a lot of topics. But what happened with my talk on the Wednesday, ah so I was gonna cover kind of my approach to health, kind of how I think about improving and optimizing and ah and restoring health.
00:32:56
Christian Yordanov
And then i was gonna talk, then I talked about omega-6 fats, omega-3s and why they can be worse in some ways, like in terms of susceptibility to oxidative stress. And then I covered sugar, why it's not going to kill you, it's going poison.
00:33:11
Christian Yordanov
And then i was going to talk about keto diets, why they're bad, and low-carb diets, why they're bad. And then fasting, oh why it's bad. But because, again, I had only 45 minutes, I only got to the end of sugar and the keto and low carb, keto low carb and fasting didn't get addressed.
00:33:28
Christian Yordanov
And again, i was like, oh man, I should have just done it on fasting. But the thing is that there is a progression to these topics, right? So I started with...
00:33:40
Christian Yordanov
explaining my my sort of ah frameworks for for health and what causes disease and and and aging and stress is one of those things and oxidative stress and inflammation being the others. right So what I did with the three-hour workshop, we had like 13 people at that workshop, three of them were clients as well so it's pretty cool, they were like ah you know they were asking really good questions because they they had already known a lot of these basics. so it's a very is a very rich sort of i told people just listen at any point just raise your hand or interrupt you or just shout at me ask questions so it's very interactive as we we're going but what i did for that workshop is i had a few topics planned but what i just did is i took the presentation that i didn't finish from my main talk on wednesday and i just i just kind recapped the the a couple of things like the sugar piece and then i went into the low carb why low carb is bad why Keto is bad because it signals starvation to the body and that's stressful.
00:34:38
Christian Yordanov
And then over time, you know, the but the body adapts in a deleterious way to your optimal health. And then from there, we went into the fasting. So we basically ran over time. I was going to cover other topics I had about serotonin and hormones and a bunch of other cool stuff.
00:34:54
Christian Yordanov
but we just got through the fasting. And so basically, ah people some some people's jaws were on the floor at some point. But we what it it seems like if I had been given any um an an unlimited amount of time to speak on the Wednesday for my slot as a speaker on the main stage, I probably could have spoken for maybe three hours to cover that entire presentation. And when I practiced my presentation after I did it a couple of times and just shortened it,
00:35:23
Christian Yordanov
it It was two hours long and then I kind of shortened it and kept shortening it down. So I was like, I'm going to talk fast. I'll cover everything. and No, that's not how it works. When you're speaking, you you know you go off on tangents, blah, blah. So, um those okay, you live and learn. But... ah you know I'm glad that we got this workshop done and it will be available on the Anarchapulco website as a standalone sort of thing you can get but um I'm glad we had this all this time to cover this topic because it is such an in-depth topic so like I kind of you have to cover why carbs aren't bad you have to cover why low carb is bad and then you have to like keto and so on and then once you have that sort of base
00:36:07
Christian Yordanov
Then you have to kind of cover why removing not just carbs, but also fat and protein, everything from the diet is bad, especially for more than people. So there's so many angles that we looked at it from with studies and and kind of like um just nuances that a lot of influencers out there, they're just not covering these nuances. They're like, oh, fasting upregulates autophagy. Jesus fasted. Yeah, well, okay, well, you're not Jesus, bro. Did you come back? Did you come back from the dead?
00:36:35
Christian Yordanov
did you did you Did you get killed and come back from the dead? Well, but you're not Jesus, okay? So maybe you're not immortal. Maybe you're not the son of God. Well, you're a child of God, of course, but you know what I mean. um So really, a lot of it comes out, oh, but the science, the science, the science bullshit. I went over why the science is bullshit on fasting. We don't have human data. and I'm going to do a lot more content on this. I know I've done it before.
00:36:59
Christian Yordanov
but Probably people, listeners, my listeners are probably sick of hearing me talk about it. But there's so many people out there that need to hear that I just have to i have to do it. And and i mean in fact, I'm actually going to publish a book on on just on this topic alone this year because there is, again, so much nuance. And once people and people are not stupid. but At least the people...
00:37:22
Christian Yordanov
coming to an archipelago are not stupid now i don't know about normies out there like maybe it'll be much more of a mountain to climb for many people but the people coming to an archipelago understand certain things so i was ready to kind of uh we're we're working from a higher vantage point if you know what i mean we have have to cover mega basics like hey you know mainstream health information might not be for your best interest blah blah you know stuff like that um but uh so that was really good it was it was exhausting three hours you know it was exhausting because i was fielding questions how to but it was really awesome the reason it was awesome is because the questions that arose nothing really surprised me because you know you know i've kind of heard all of those
00:38:14
Christian Yordanov
questions over the last two three years you know um but it does it does kind of give me a little bit more direction in terms of what topics people will want addressed if they want a more comprehensive it won't be long of a book you know But um if the people want a more kind comprehensive sort of overview of why fasting is not a good idea for health and longevity.
00:38:39
Christian Yordanov
Now, there there may be some applications for other areas, you know, here and there. But those are few and far between. I'm talking about for the regular person.
00:38:50
Christian Yordanov
fasting for better health and and and longer life, that's the that's the that's the delusion, that's the BS, that's the psyop. So that was three hours long and kind of we gave away books to everybody, i signed some of them, we just had so little time in the end. I it's i i will i swear to God, I would talk for hours until people start collapsing or the venue gets closed or my voice is completely shot.
00:39:15
Christian Yordanov
um So we actually ran over three hours. and then because I had to run to our bufo ceremony with my client Johnny who is now brother for life also that i was in half an hour we had to run from this to that which wasn't far away it was like a minute walk away two minutes walk away but still like we had to go prepare and just kind of take a breather so we signed some books and it was nice uh gave ah gave away books to everybody that was there we also gave ah away a uh a full program six month program two to one lady won it so she's gonna um next week we're gonna enroll her in my program and she's gonna you know get the full clinical assessment access to lab testing all the six months of support and the weekly, three weekly coaching sessions, chat support, all that good stuff. You know, she's going to get access to So we gave away one of those to the, and then one of my clients, John, he won the free health consultation and he just kind of said, you know, just, he just gives this away to someone else.
00:40:19
Christian Yordanov
asked them to pick a random number between one, whatever the participants were. And then we picked another winner who got a free one-hour health consultation. So it was nice to kind of like, you know, share.
00:40:32
Christian Yordanov
And i think I think some of these people there, at least that were there, they definitely will think twice about fasting. Because also the the the previous two days, I actually made a sign. i think it maybe Wednesday.
00:40:46
Christian Yordanov
and made a sign uh that basically i was holding up in the in the area the kind of the the vendor area fasting is bad for you the lizard the lizard people want you to fast more and then underneath it's like um you've been psyoped sorry and there was another thing i had written on there and there's a picture on my instagram of of me holding it up but ah So that was like how I attracted some some attention. Some people, you know, got a book or my card. Some people came to the workshop because of that. So that was like ah at least so at least the people that came to the workshop, I probably convinced them to think twice because a lot of the people that were coming up to me when I was holding up the sign and at one point I was even, this is lost my voice multiple times so because at one point I was like just kind of holding the sign I like, repent!
00:41:37
Christian Yordanov
And people would look at me. It was hilarious. and And then they would look away and I'd be like, repent, you sinners. ah so um but like So people would come up to me and it was such a was also challenging. And that's why it's, because my wife, my wife like she she probably thought at the start, I'm going there on holiday. Same on on vacation, same with Charlie Robinson was like, yeah, my wife thinks I'm here like having fun and, you know, having cocktails and stuff. And it's a hell of a lot of work because you know people are coming to you and you're talking to them all day long. And like someone, I'm talking to someone for like two minutes or three minutes, five minutes or a small group of people. And they're like why is fasting bad? So I have to condense in a few sentences stuff that I've spent like, you know, over the years or the last three years, maybe like, i don't know, thousands of hours at this point.
00:42:28
Christian Yordanov
and And even, like I said, the workshop was three hours just unpacking this stuff and I could unpack it for hours and hours more. So the challenge was how do I relay information in in very bite-sized chunks to these people that I i might not see you know again we only have a minute or two with.
00:42:49
Christian Yordanov
And they're just throwing questions at me and they're just so broad. They're like, why is it bad? But isn't good though? And and so to me, it was ah is a welcome challenge to just kind of really be able to like give you the elevator pitch, you know?
00:43:03
Christian Yordanov
um And again, this this is all all of these sort of, question because there was a lot of people that were they'd love to fast and they do fast and like one guy was like i fasted for five seven and nine days another one is i've been fasting for years another one fasting helped me lose 45 pounds and i'm so much healthier now and i got off the diabetes and i did a dry fast i felt great So there's all kinds of like different angles and and questions and stuff. So to be able to like explain, okay, here's why you you felt better. here's why there Here's why this is not good. It was good for me to to really solidify the sort of the... The elevator pitch. And then to then know when I'm writing the book on on why fasting is not good for health and longevity.
00:43:52
Christian Yordanov
um It will allow me to then to address these questions. So then by the time people are done with this relatively short book, they will... they They won't have, but what about X? What about Y? I really, i really want to kind of be um succinct, but comprehensive.
00:44:10
Christian Yordanov
And then of course there there'll be studies reference that people can, if they care too, they can then go and, um, you know, research further. ah So that was Friday. then yeah So the Bufo ceremony, five it was about 5.36 that we started. we went there with Johnny and Victor, my my brother from another mother, um that i was at his ceremony on Tuesday. So he joined us. so I was like, dude, you if you want to join us, join us. He's like, yeah, sure. If Johnny's cool with it. Johnny, of course, was cool with it. So he came with us. He was like super serene and kind of just, you know, watching over, meditating.
00:44:48
Christian Yordanov
and being a part of the journey. So Johnny went first. he you know He was... And again, like Johnny, like Victor, he just kind of splayed out on on the on the ground with a slight smile on his face, like serene and blissful. And again, that that took away... Again, further took away some of my anxiety about the whole process.
00:45:14
Christian Yordanov
ah So he he went couple of times and... then Bare Heart came to me and and I went and and it was so, so powerful. Like I cannot even put it into words, but I won't ah won't talk about it now. I'll talk about it separate episode this week because it just it it needs its own sort of dedicated time. It was so powerful. I can just...
00:45:42
Christian Yordanov
It was so healing, you know, it was absolutely like I needed it, you know, and I really felt like I needed it. And and it was I didn't go in really wanting so much or or expecting like a really blissful experience. It's not why I went there. I just went there.
00:46:01
Christian Yordanov
And with basic basically the intention was give me what I need, you know, give me whatever healing i need, whether that's going to be painful um or blissful you know you you decide and it was both it no and I was I wouldn't say it was painful but the amount of crying I did was just unbelievable and that was the last bufo ceremony for that event ah so we were like the last on the Friday evening so we finished about like I guess like eight
00:46:32
Christian Yordanov
And then we went to dinner um and that was amazing. And then so Victor had to go fly the next day. So he kind of shot back to the hotel a bit earlier and we just hung out there. They had ah some live music and then some kind of house music.
00:46:50
Christian Yordanov
and then we're like dancing and stuff we're just having fun at it so I've spoken to the DJ already and it turns out he likes techno uh in similar styles to me so one of the the women that was dancing there we were all kind of hanging out dancing and just chatting I told her hey can you go up to the guy the DJ and tell him you want harder something harder music wise Because if I go up to him, he would say, oh, man, just shut up and go, shut up, let me do my work. But if a woman asks, DJ, how can you play that one? They're lot more compliant, let's say, or
00:47:24
Christian Yordanov
compliant let's say or or or um obliging So she did. And then the next track, he started like blasting a bit harder, which is what I like, like the harder techno stuff. Not hard, hard, but you know, it's a a bit more oomph to it. So everybody was like up a notch.
00:47:41
Christian Yordanov
But that ended pretty early, like 11 o'clock. We had to kick this out because it's a conference center, you know, it's not a party, it's not a festival, you know. But then we went back. So I went back to the hotel and then I was supposed to have one more day so I took an extra day this year just to recover from everything, just to integrate a little bit the bufo.
00:48:06
Christian Yordanov
so So the Sunday what I did was I went to the iHeal Collective's guys' house, got a really awesome craniosacral massage from one of their workers, Sherry. That was so epic especially after the bufo just because you know you get the the neck muscles, the head and just the bones and everything just kind of really aligned. So that was an absolutely, absolutely epic thing. oh but what I had forgot to mention is the Friday morning, the previous day, I woke up and
00:48:38
Christian Yordanov
um i had a lot of pain in my left elbow. and and And it was kind of swollen. there was like this brown part. was like, what the hell is this? What I was thinking is you know maybe at night I went to to go to the bathroom and then I hit my elbow into like ah an edge somewhere or a corner and I don't remember.
00:48:58
Christian Yordanov
was really painful and over the course of the Friday through the workshop, through the bufo, through everything, this pain increased and one time, I actually before my workshop I went to the, there had an emergency room there at the convention center. was like guys what to do? Some people were telling me this could be a spider bite. I can't bend my arm anymore.
00:49:20
Christian Yordanov
And I couldn't straighten it fully. It was really, really painful. It was starting to swell up. So they they were like, yeah, you know, what what what can they do? They just gave me lidocaine topically.
00:49:32
Christian Yordanov
And that was it. ah so ah but like the next day on the saturday morning it was even worse it was swollen it was like freaking painful so i went to the iheo collectives guys's house and um the sherry the the cranial sacral uh uh worker she does other stuff is a really awesome lady, but she she put some bentonite clay on it and then got my got my massage and during this craniosacral therapy, man, that I had to take my shirt off just kind of whatever, but um it was just like 5-6 p.m. where you know it gets dark and and the little mother beach mosquitoes came out and I had kept away from them all through the week, got a few bites here and there, but that day i got like at least and I mean at least literally 200 bites all over legs and and stomach and and arms.
00:50:33
Christian Yordanov
It was an absolute ordeal the next few days like scratching and itching. I had this organic cream that kind of suppresses the itching with some plant oils and stuff organic. um So i was slathering all I went through the entire bottle over the next couple of days but it it helped some obviously but not enough. So That was another ordeal. So I was there on the Saturday with this huge sort of swollen ah elbow. So Beaudre from the ICEO guys, she basically drained it. She punctured it with a needle in four places and with cupping, sucked out about a bunch of the blood. Because we all thought at that point it's a spider bite, you know. um
00:51:16
Christian Yordanov
So she sucked, you know, she put some, she gave me this mixture she made with ozone oil oil and and DMSO and frankincense. So she gave me this and bandages and and and stuff.
00:51:28
Christian Yordanov
And um so... I went back to the hotel that evening and and about it was about three hours later, I went to bed and three hours later after I got all of this sort of procedure by her, I woke up at 2 a.m.
00:51:43
Christian Yordanov
because it was like 8 a.m. my time and I was still like, ah wake up, freaking. Let's go. Oh shit. I've only slept two hours. So, but it was, the swelling had already gone gone down a ton and I could kind of sort of sleep because the previous night I could barely sleep from all the pain. I could, I couldn't roll. I could be basically just be on my back and slightly on my right and constantly waking up with pain.
00:52:08
Christian Yordanov
It was also after the bufo ceremony. So, you know, you it sometimes people don't sleep well after that. Just you, you might be stimulated or thinking or reflecting or whatever. um But it was a hell of a lot better. And so that was Sunday morning. I woke up a little bit earlier again.
00:52:26
Christian Yordanov
so it was already better after the the sort of procedure she did on the Friday, Baudre did. And then I was supposed to ah fly out at 11 o'clock.
00:52:37
Christian Yordanov
um ah Sorry, at at one o'clock on the Sunday. That's the the Sunday, the 22nd, I believe it was.
00:52:45
Christian Yordanov
Uh, so I woke up early, got my bags packed, no, no, no stress, no rush. Um, and then, so my, uh, Johnny that I did the bufa with,
00:52:57
Christian Yordanov
my client, he he has a bunch of supplements that I also take. And so he was going to give me some bits and pieces for the for the trip home because it's like 30-hour trip and blah, blah, blah. And I had run out of stuff.
00:53:10
Christian Yordanov
So I was getting an Uber to his hotel, which was like half a mile away. You could actually walk it in like five, ten minutes. But I was getting an Uber because I had packed bags. And the the Uber was three minutes away.
00:53:23
Christian Yordanov
and Conference is over all that stuff most people have gone home, you know But the uber was three minutes away and I was just about to get out of the door and then I saw in our Telegram the speakers group said they told us guys lockdown Do not leave the hotel Get shelter in place immediately. They were shooting on the streets. There's bombs and Things started to finally make sense because Earlier that morning, maybe 9-10 a.m., i so maybe a bit earlier, I saw like this black smoke come from one place.
00:53:58
Christian Yordanov
It didn't look like somebody was you know burning branches and and leaves and stuff in his garden. It was black smoke. And then another one started a rising ah soon after, minutes after. Then another one, and there was about four of them at that point. So what had happened in hindsight, I understood is that those were cars and or buses that were blown up by the cartel. So what happened earlier is there was some kind of operation on that Sunday morning where they had basically the the head of the Jalisco cartel, El Mencho, forgot his full name. He had been apparently, they tried to kidnap him or or arrest him and in the end he he he died so that was supposed to be a retaliation by the cartel so what they did is and honestly I think it was all pretty coordinated it just looked way too coordinated I heard some stories as well where one of the guys that blew up a car ah you know set it on fire and whatever when he got on his motorbike he went he the police roadblock let him through so I heard that story from one guy
00:55:07
Christian Yordanov
But um so I was about to go to Johnny. I tell i told him, dude, I'm um'm sheltering in place. You shelter in place. I'm staying here. And then, yeah, we could just see like people could hear gunshots in in certain areas where they were reporting. You could see like, again, like a lot of blown up stuff. There was somebody that had like a video. They were outside. It was like a bunch of cars were blown up and buses.
00:55:30
Christian Yordanov
and so yeah so the the airport was closed there was a few flights out that day but the airport was closed all day and we were like holy crap is this world war iii already bit early for it you know so it was kind of it was a bit crazy um But then I couldn't get to my flight obviously so I had to stay in the end an extra four days because then the next day was contacting my provider for the flight they said everything will be fine they'll get an email they they did nothing and then I couldn't contact them they they wouldn't email me back just absolute piece of shit you know like the way they handled it they still haven't messaged me or anything.
00:56:08
Christian Yordanov
um But ah so that I spent two days in the hotel, but already on the the on the Monday, so this happened on Sunday morning, the Monday evening, like people were out, back bars were back open, like some restaurants were open. Like things was really back to normal.
00:56:25
Christian Yordanov
ah the next day were were becoming normalizing and flights were moving through the airport and then this also happened in other places that's why I think it was coordinated because like okay I get it if their cartel Jalisco whatever the name was BNRG or whatever ah If they can do that, but how how did they how were they so synced across other, like Cancun and Guadalajara, and how were they so synced in terms of their response and all of this sort of blowing up, um like OXO, which is like 7-Eleven, so a bunch of those shops got blown up. how is it so synchronized across the the multiple uh states that's what that's why it looks like it was a pre-planned sort of thing maybe in coordination with the government the the old problem reaction solution if you know what i mean and because the at one point the cartel were like oh there's a curfew you better be know uh at home or in your hotel after 1 p.m we'll start shooting people on the street then ah then they started threatening
00:57:28
Christian Yordanov
Allegedly on on on X they were saying that the cartel is saying if their demands are not met, they will start entering homes and hotels after 5 p.m. And so they were like clearly trying to incite fear, which when you incite fear, people you know demand a solution or are ready to be receptive of a solution you offer. And so that's kind of what it looked like, because like really...
00:57:54
Christian Yordanov
there was some more explosions during the Sunday evening but a lot of it just happened in like the space of the Sunday morning lunchtime type thing then the rest was just massively massively overblown by the media so I was actually um Because that Sunday and the Monday, i was basically in the hotel the whole time, except I went out on on the Monday with Johnny. We went for a walk and got some bandages for my horrific wound, which I was showing. i sent my wife the video of the of the wound, my ah my elbow, because just so not to worry her or anything.
00:58:32
Christian Yordanov
just to kind of show her, look, i'm trust me, I know you're suffering on your own here with the kiddo and the dog, I'm suffering too, okay, I'm not here on vacation, I'm suffering, I'm in a lot of pain, and now these mother-bitch mosquitoes have beat me up all over, I was sending her video of my like the camera going up my leg and arm just to see how much, and I still have like little pimples from from the from the mosquitoes, which just don't worry honey, I'm suffering too, and my pain hurts more than your pain, trust me, trust me.
00:59:00
Christian Yordanov
So ah if for what it's worth, maybe it doesn't make your pain less easy, but I thought I'd just share. So, yeah, so so I only went out with Johnny for a little while on on on Monday just to kind of, you know, we went to cut some whatever coconut water and bandages and whatever, some some antibiotics. You know, what's interesting about the pharmacies in Mexico, you go in there you go in there for freaking chewing gum or water and the woman is like, hey, you want some steroids?
00:59:34
Christian Yordanov
uh and literally literally they have everything from testosterone, trenbolone, climbuterol, amasterone all of them they give you like a catalog boom boom boom you can buy it and then a bunch of others you can buy human growth hormone, ozampic, all of it's like over the counter no problem and if you say i'm fine thanks i don't need the anabolics they give you a little like here's a 10 10 discount code And a little card we also shipped to the USA.
01:00:05
Christian Yordanov
So it's like to me, it's like, fucking hell. like Talk about legalized drug dealing. like these And these pharmacies are everywhere. you know And some of them got blown up during the the cartel stuff.
01:00:17
Christian Yordanov
um But I reckon they have a really good insurance, you know, so they're probably, you know, they just make money back. But what they do when they blow up, you know pharmacies and and those convenience stores they're hurting the the the locals, the people that need the stuff, the food, the whatever. And the um it's ah it's just a huge inconvenience to the locals. So they do it, the government kind of... you know, sometimes they work with mafias and stuff they to inconvenience people, to make them want a solution that the government can come in with a heavy-handed solution, take away freedoms. And that's kind of disgusting. But I also heard that so um some of the cartel, you know, this they the the grandpas are kind of, you know, it would be their grandsons or whatever, or their sons that are involved. And they a lot of those guys, you know, sell fruit and stuff. So they kind of,

after the fact when the shops were blown up and i actually went to like one shop I have a video of a blown up shop it was kind of crazy I also have a picture next to a blown up bus it's on Instagram it's kind of crazy how how comprehensively that bus got destroyed you know um but yeah so the at least the fruit guys then went out in the evening and were selling fruit so they made a few bucks you know that kind of way one hand washes the other which you know nothing wrong with looking after your own and all that stuff you know but um so that was like so i kind of stayed on my own in the hotel for the most part for two days and they only had pasta the food was already terrible in that hotel but at that point they only had pasta
01:01:57
Christian Yordanov
and very few staff those couple of days so i was like i said to the iHealHerb guys hey can i come stay with you for the last two days i because i finally got a flight for thursday on the tuesday morning johnny was leaving so i met him got a few more supplements from the dude absolute godsend um and uh Yeah, so I went to stay with them for a couple of nights and got to hang out with them, got to use the you know the molecular hydrogen machine, got some more body work and and kind of treatment, which was really nice. just kind of you know The two days alone were handy because like it just helps to recover from the the conference and also like just integrate the Bufo journey a little bit. I was listening to some books and and resources on Bufo integration, just kind of but making sense of It's such a powerful...
01:02:49
Christian Yordanov
medicine that comes comes and goes so fast, you know, so it takes it takes weeks and months to really integrate this, you know, sometimes maybe even years for some people. So, yeah,
01:03:01
Christian Yordanov
so yeah so ah spent time with them, you know, we did a barbecue one of the days and what was interesting for me is that that spider bite or whatever it was, that um Tuesday evening ah we did a barbecue, I made the fire, they kind of cooked the meat and I was so hungry, was kind of like running out of my own snacks and the the food, there was just not not much food, not much good food to find, like just maybe or fresh orange juice and and and coconut water and stuff, so I was kind of running on empty a little bit. So in the evening time when the barbecue was ready, I just like stacked my plate with meat.
01:03:36
Christian Yordanov
I ate a bunch of it beef and ribs and and and chicken, so I ate this meat and some potato. and i don't know what happened but like two hours later this my arm the swelling and the pain suddenly almost suddenly just improved it was kind of crazy it's kind of crazy maybe maybe meat heals or protein or so i needed the protein because i wasn't eating as much meat and in the last you know week and a half there because you know just when When it's all cooked in seed oils, you're like, I just kind of, I don't even know what to eat, man. i'd rather Sometimes it's fasting is better than eating if it's if you're going eat crap. But yeah, it was really awesome to stay with them. There's some some other cool cool people staying in the house. We just had a lot of fun, chilling out.
01:04:25
Christian Yordanov
And then on the Thursday morning, i set out home and then Friday evening I was home. So it took like 30, 32 hours to get home. But it was such an amazing feeling to be home and just eating my own food and being with with my family. and I'm still recovering, you know, been sleeping well, but it just, their the recovery, the recovery is always so serious after these events. But oh I am cautiously optimistic about this year. Each year I've gotten better at like the travel, recovering, adjusting to the time zones and kind of having clean snacks to keep, you know, my energy levels elevated and taking lots of supplements for detox and, know,
01:05:09
Christian Yordanov
and keeping the gut healthy. So likewise with the recovery, like I feel like my recovery is lot better. Like ahve I've already like done a bunch of stuff the last few days. I've been pretty active. So I'm tired at the end of the evening. And when I wake up, I'm like, ah I want to sleep more.
01:05:25
Christian Yordanov
But um other than that, I feel like my my mind is working well and um I'm already like catching up on work a little bit. and So I'm ready to kind of hit the project hard over the next while. so you do get better, suppose.
01:05:43
Christian Yordanov
Because I hadn't flown ever to North America until I started going to Anarcopulco. I'd never been on that side of the Atlantic. So it's kind of... It's a learning process, but I feel like we we get better each time with it. than So, um yeah. ah Overall, the event was absolutely epic. And what what kind of sucks is that you know there's some very...
01:06:07
Christian Yordanov
unpleasant a few bad apples there's a few unpleasant characters out there in the social media sphere that are ah trying to associate archipulco to the the events of sunday the 22nd where the cartels were blowing up buses and stuff and there was shooting in the streets and and the the you know the the marines had to come in and Like that had nothing to do with Anarchable because the event was basically over and like most people had already gone home, you know. So ah in spite of that happening, i would still, i would i would go again next year unless unless, you know, there's some crazy war going on with like Iran, Israel, whatever, some crazy stuff going on, you know, China.
01:06:55
Christian Yordanov
invading Taiwan at that point maybe I would reconsider but like if things are like relatively peaceful I just like that's the thing and a lot of a lot of the cool people i met during the event a lot for a good portion of them it was their first time so I was like, how is how was your event? How how are you doing? what do you think? And they're like, wow, it's amazing. The people, the people. So i think a lot of people, if not most, that go.
01:07:25
Christian Yordanov
Once you see your people there, it's like, well, why wouldn't you go? It's like, there's a massive family reunion. and There's a bunch of cool stuff and you can, you know, you can get amazing body work and like these amazing treatments and have fun with with, and you can bring the kids there and your your spouse there and have fun. And, and you know, I would say it's cheap, but but it it can be cheaper than a lot of places we live in. Like, you know, if you're in California, Canada, ah Western Europe, some things are way cheaper, you know. So it's relatively inexpensive um to to to, like, get a really nice, you know, hotel suite and and go go places and get get massages. So really body work, whatever. so it's really such, it's like,
01:08:13
Christian Yordanov
this amazing almost family reunion everybody's there all the cool people are there and stuff so why wouldn't you want to go back and just be a part of it you know whether or not you're introverted extroverted there is something for you you know um so absolutely loved it really really thankful to the guys that organized it i was Because I was like one of the speakers I saw for months ahead of time how much work they were putting in like they were on the on the ground there, you know, weeks and weeks before maybe months before the actual event happened and the amount of work and organization and so much's With the new venue, so much stuff goes wrong that because you don't know the venue and you know Murphy's Law, the unexpected will always happen, the most inconvenient things will always happen. So just to be able to like sort of navigate those challenges, i think they did an amazing job. And I think i was talking to some of the other speakers that were like, well definite definitely this was the best one yet, at least for the people that I spoke to. some of them had been going on and off since 2018 to an arcapulco and were like this was the best one yet for them you know and for me as well it's my third one you know um it was definitely the best one yet and with a new venue it only gets better you know they understand what's going on and and and you can plan better and more events and just different configuration of everything it's just It was just so, so epic. And my only criticism, but don't know if I said it already, but my only criticism for this event is it it's not long enough. I think it should be seven days, maybe ten days.
01:09:57
Christian Yordanov
Because, like, day one, two, they fly by. Day three, you're like, oh crap, there's only two more days. Day four is like, you're depressed. Oh, man, got to make the most of the day tomorrow. It's done. And then the fifth day, like, oh, God, it's over. And just it just goes by and ah in in the blink of an eye. so um And I told Kat, you know, the the producer, ah I told her, like, it's got to be longer.
01:10:23
Christian Yordanov
You know, and I think i think she also she also um she also agrees. right, my phone's ringing, so going to wrap up here. Thanks for tuning in, and i I'll talk about the Bufo journey in the next episode.
