David Wolfe Interviews Me At Longevity Conference

David Wolfe is one of the smartest people I’ve ever met in my entire life. Ask him any question on any subject and your guaranteed to be in for a answer that will keep you glued to your seat. I’m baffled how this guy has the time absorb so much info about life, health and other worldly topics.

But David is mostly known for helping to pioneer the raw food movement. What I love about David so much is that he’s a realist when it comes to other people’s eating habits. He isn’t forceful or condescending to people who do eat meat or garbage but rather just encourages them to make small adjustments that are feasible and likely to be done. David realizes you are still going to drink your coffee and pig out on fast food once in a while. And even though that’s not on his menu or dietary choices, he’s smart enough to recognize it’s probably on yours. So instead of being a food nazi, he creates methods and strategies to help people slowly create changes in their diet and entire lifestyle that will benefit them for a long long time.

Anyhow, this video below has very little to do about food. Instead David interviews me on childlike behavior, living in the now, and taking full responsibility for my life. I hope you enjoy, it’s one of my favorite interviews that I’ve ever done.

Cheers,

Jason

Maori Deep Tissue Massage

I enjoy getting massages. I mean, really enjoy it. In most instances I’d opt for a massage over sex. Yeah, I like being rubbed that much.

So a few weekends ago I was at my buddy David Wolfe’s Longevity Conference in Costa Mesa California. While on stage David mentioned something about the Maori tribe and their excellent body work. I didn’t really hear what he said, but caught something along the lines of “Best Massage Ever”.

I tend to defer to David’s opinion a lot. It’s always helped my life, so why not give it a shot?

During the day I met the Maori healers and they seemed really nice, genuine and had big smiles. I like that :)

So when I walked into the back room and saw David being stretched out on the table by the Maori healers, I wanted to give it a shot. As I entered the room, a gentleman asked… “Are you ready”?

I replied… “I was born ready. Lets do this”.

Little did I know what I was in for. Typically I’m a bit of a sissy when it comes to deep tissue massage. My shoulders are pretty sensitive and I yelp like a baby if you hit one of the knots on my back.

What happened was way beyond “deep tissue massage”. It was downright painful. Incredibly painful. I couldn’t believe I was willingly letting these folks cause me to scream mercilessly while they stretched, twisted and pushed different areas of my body.

I had this slight pain in my abdomen that had been lingering for weeks. Ata asked me where I had been traveling. I mentioned a few places, but when I said “New Orleans” her eyes opened wide and she said… “You must of caught something in New Orleans”. She then signaled for the large tattooed guy to give her some assistance.

They began pushing on my stomach and I was letting out ferocious screams. I think I now know what child birth is like. Never had I felt that much intense pain at once. And remember, I’m willingly accepting it. Crazy!

After the massage was over, I felt light headed, a bit dizzy and almost confused. Being jacked up on superfood smoothies for days and eating little food may of contributed to the feeling. I also felt extremely humbled and grateful to finally deal with this pain in my mid section. The pain didn’t go away immediately. In fact, my stomach felt almost bruised and in a bit more pain then when I went in. However, 2 days later I felt better than I had in months.

The Maori Super Deep Tissue Massage was definitely a intense experience. I wouldn’t suggest it to everyone. Many of my friends opted to receive some treatment as well, and each of them was equally tripped out from the intensity.

One of the cool things about the session was that everyone was in the same room. There was 3 healers, and 3 people being worked on. The attitude in the room was very cheery and playful. Everyone chatted with each other and it made the vibe very pleasant. Admittedly, it was a bit weird when I started screaming and hollering. I didn’t want to be a buzzkill on the others nice massage. (They weren’t whining like a baby like I was).

The Best Day Ever


My buddy David Wolfe has a saying… “The Best Day Ever“. In fact, that’s the name of his membership site where he shares all types of incredible health advice, smoothie tips, and how to live the Best Day Ever.

Check out this no brainer cool deal on his membership site here.

Lately, I’ve found myself saying… “Man, this is the Best Day Ever”, and truly meaning it. Things have been superb lately. The amount of gratitude I’ve been feeling for my life, friends, and surroundings has been off the charts. The best part is, it keeps getting better and better each day. I’ve been beyond blessed.

Yesterday my buddy Billy picked me up and we headed out into the Pacific for a quick surf. I hadn’t surfed in almost 2 months and was so eager to catch some waves. I opted for a 7’6″ single fin shaped by our buddy Scottie. It was a good call.

My first wave was of epic proportions. I couldn’t of asked for anything better. That moment instantly became “The Best Day Ever”. I think I actually sported wood in my wetsuit.

I almost didn’t think I’d catch the wave. After no surfing in weeks, my arms were already tired just from the paddle out. I really need to work on the sissy factor. 3 sessions and it will be gone. Anyhow, this perfect left picked up really nice and I was positioned right in the pocket. I had to go.

I ended up getting a late drop as the wave was peeling over and almost drilling me. I took the drop and slightly angled left to avoid the curl from sucking me in. Then I got out in front of the wave, picked up speed and did this beautiful left bottom turn. Since I’m goofy foot the entire face of the wave was right in front of me and I proceeded to glide back up the top of the wave and laid down another big carve towards the top of the wave.

I almost went too high up on the wave and let it pass me by. Luckily for me, I leaned right and forward, started pumping as hard as I could and got another drop back into the wave and basically repeated the same move.

It was “The Best Day Ever”.

I’m back. California, I missed you so much. Friends, I missed you too. So happy to be home for a while.

Anyhow, lately I’ve been saying to myself… “this is the best day of my life”. And I’ve been saying it alot. It seems that things just keep on getting better and better and better. But here’s the thing… When you say “this is the best day ever” or “best day of my life” it doesn’t negate all those other days in the past. It’s not like you have to compare one to the other. You simply add all the other past days to todays experience.

The reason why today is “The Best Day Ever” is because of all the days in the past that allowed you to make it to this specific moment. And if you are appreciative of each of those days, the learning, the growth, the people, etc, everyday can truly be The Best Day Ever.

Soon, you’ll find yourself saying… “This is the best smoothie ever”, or, “She’s the best girlfriend ever” or “He’s the best dog ever” because you’ll have so much appreciation for each and every moment you are here on this earth and surrounded by people that love you.

Sounds a little hippy and airy fairy right? Damn right it does. And it feels great!

Anyhow, lots of people have asked me why I came back to the west coast. There are a few reasons but one of the major ones was because I wanted to attend David Wolfe’s Longevity Conference in Costa Mesa California near the end of this month.

I went to the one 2 years ago and it was nothing short of amazing. The glow in the people’s eyes, the love in their hearts, and the vibrance in their touch was something you have to experience. Not only was the company awesome, but the content being shared was off the charts. You’ll learn some hard core, futuristic type stuff when you hang with David Wolfe and crew.

So, I can’t wait for the next Longevity Conference and I invite you to join me if you’d like to hang out with some of the most amazing people on the planet.

Simply click here for the Longevity Conference and I hope to see you there.

Cheers

Jason
