Jay Shetty sits down with Tony Robbins to talk about what it truly means to take care of yourself and your body. Often, when we’re young and full of energy, we become fearless, we become risk-takers, we become someone who can do anything and can be anything. But going down this path, without paying attention to our health and what our body needs to stay in shape, our body ages rapidly, we get sick, we become weak.

Tony Robbins is an entrepreneur, #1 NY Times bestselling author, philanthropist, and the nation’s #1 life & business strategist. He has empowered more than 50 million people from 100 countries around the world through his audio programs, educational videos, and live seminars. For more than four and a half decades, millions of people have enjoyed the warmth, humor, and transformational power of Tony’s business and personal development events.

You don't experience life, you experience the part of life you focus on.

What's wrong is always available, so is what's right.

And my dad's focus that day was really on what he hadn't done.

And I know that because he kept muttering it.

You know, he hadn't taken care of his family, there's no money for Thanksgiving, somebody had to give us charity.

And then the second decision you make about once you focus on something is what does it mean?

I can't take it, I can't take it, I can't take it

Welcome back to On Purpose, the number 1 health podcast in the world, thanks to each and every single 1 of you that come back every week to listen, learn, and grow.

Now, today's guest is someone that I've wanted to sit down with ever since I was a very young boy, and it's extremely special to me to have this opportunity.

I grew up in a home where I was surrounded by his books, his cassettes, his CDs.

My father would be diving into them, playing them in the car, wherever he possibly could.

And I was surrounded by this man's wisdom.

And it had an impact on me, both internally, externally, and in so many ways.

And today I've had the great fortune of sitting with him for this podcast and this interview.

I'm speaking about a man who needs no introduction but is recently the number 1 New York Times bestselling author of this book, Life Force, the 1 and only Tony Robbins.

Tony, I am so honored, humbled, and grateful to be in your presence.

To be in your home, you've opened up your home today.

This is the first time we brought On Purpose out into the wild.

But we're in your beautiful home that you've graciously, and Sage was just an amazing host and welcomed me so beautifully.

And I want everyone to know also that I came here expecting that we were going to do a podcast.

Tony, of course, is 1 of the busiest humans on the planet.

We just sat down and we spent nearly an hour together just connecting and talking because of his kindness and generosity.

So This conversation is a long time coming from the work that you've been doing.

The journey of this book doesn't start when you started writing this book.

The journey of this book for you became something that you got focused on a long, long time ago.

And I wanted to focus on 1 point to give people this context.

You're able to do incredible things on stage, off stage.

You have a phenomenal physical, mental, psychological presence.

But at the same time, you talk about in this book, being 31 years old and finding out about this brain tumor.

I want to hear about what that feels like when you think you're doing everything right for your health and it hasn't been a point of concern and all of a sudden you get this news, how does that feel?

Actually, it started a little sooner than that.

When I was really young, I grew up really rapidly.

I've worked 20-hour days, and I was also blessed.

And I got to work with some very important people, and I got great results, and they told other people.

So by the time I was 19, just almost 20, I had become quite successful in external terms, at least, in the world.

And some part of me was, you know, kind of the mechanism in the back of our head, that 2-million-year-old brain, right, the fight-or-flight mechanism.

I didn't know how to manage that so well.

And part of my brain was like, well, maybe you have all this happening so quick because you're gonna die young.

And I literally became obsessed with not just getting hit by a truck or something, it was cancer, I was gonna wilt away.

I don't know where it came from, and I knew better intellectually, but it was there.

And then the first time it entered my life was before 31, it entered my life through someone else, my girlfriend.

And Jay, I mean, she was like, what is it, what is it?

And then even worse, they gave her 9 weeks to live, they just sent her home.

And I think if it would have been me, I think my fear would have overcome me.

But you know, most people will do more for people they love, whether it be their kids or their family or someone else than they'll ever do for themselves.

It's like, okay, if there's a problem, there's a solution.

I said, look, there's thousands of people that have stage 4 cancer and that are alive today.

And then I just read every book I could on cancer.

And I came across this 1 book called 1 Answer to Cancer.

It's not the book I'd recommend today because there's so many better ones today, but it was written by this dentist who had pancreatic cancer, which is the most vicious cancer of all.

He was given 6 weeks to live, and this is 12 years later and he's alive.

And so he laid out what he did to cleanse his body and it sounded radical in those days Pancreatic enzymes, so I went to this woman name was Jenny.

She was in her 40s I said Jenny, you know, I know you don't want to die.

I said, but just going home and do nothing why don't you read this book this guy was in worse shape than you, and see if you wanted to apply this.

And she read it and she got inspired, and I gave her azomanthicum to kind of work on her head a little bit.

Anyway, long story short, within about 3 weeks, she had a tumor that was protruding in her shoulder, and the 1 in her feminine organs.

And you couldn't see anything 3 weeks later on her shoulder.

And at the period of I think about 9 weeks when she was supposed to die, and she looked good, she had great energy, and literally looked transformed, the doctor finally said, this is crazy, let's do exploratory surgery.

So they went in her body, all they could find left of the cancer was something the size of my pinky's fingernail.

And so the doctor said, this is a miracle.

She said, it is a miracle, but let me tell you what I did.

And he was like, no, no, no, this is spontaneous remission.

But she's in her mid-80s today, she's still alive, and that shifted me from victimhood, like, oh my God, cancer could strike me down, to believing I'll be great.

So all the more shocking, now I'm a total biohacker, I'm a health nut, I've gotta get on stage and do 12, 13 hours with 20, 000 people.

And I gotta do it 3 or 4 days in a row, and I make these huge demands, but I also have this incredibly intense regimen of taking care of myself.

So I went to go get my license renewed, you have to do a physical, and I come back and I keep getting these messages from the doctors saying, my assistant saying, the doctor says he's gotta talk to you.

And I was like, I'm leaving for the South of France to do an event.

And I got home this 1 night and taped to my bathroom, my master bathroom bedroom door was a note for my assistant saying you've got to call the doctor He says it's an emergency.

Well, all my old fears just started flashing backs like oh my god, I mean I treat my body so great How could I have cancer but I do fly all the time.

But at that time, I had also found a center in my life.

Coward dies a thousand deaths, courageous person once.

Let me deal with it if it needs to be dealt with in the morning.

I woke up called, and the doc says to me, you have a tumor, a tumor in your brain.

He said, you have an enormous amount of growth hormones.

I said, you're telling me you're gonna cut me open?

There ain't any time you do surgery that's this complex.

And he said, you're probably not gonna have the same kind of energy anymore because it'll change your biochemistry.

And I was like, well, I think I should get a second opinion.

And he did not have a good bedside manner, and I didn't have a good bedside manner either.

I was like, well, how do you tell me I'm gonna have to have the surgery?

So I kind of blew it off since he was such a jerk about it.

I was like, I'll take care of it when I get home.

And I flew to the south of France, and I did this seminar.

You know, the mind starts going like, what if he's right?

So I went and did the scan and I saw the look on the guy's face when I came out from the MRI, and sure enough, I had a tumor there.

It was interesting though, Jay, it was a big tumor.

That's why I grew 10 inches in a year, but it infarct, which means it swallowed a portion of itself up, but it's still there.

And he said, we still need to do the surgery.

So I went and did, I said, okay, he's a surgeon.

Let me go to somebody who's more biochemically driven.

So I went to this man in Boston, a neurobiologist, and He was really completely different.

He was super warm and he said, look, he goes, I would never do the surgery.

There's a place in Switzerland you can go to and you can take an injection once every 6 months and you'll never have to worry about it.

Because what they worry about is that gigantism, it's called, it makes your arteries get really big and then you have a heart attack.

I said, well, doc, you just said my arteries are perfect.

He goes, well, we just want to be certain.

I said, well, what if, I'm not certain the drug's not gonna have side effects, you know?

He goes, well, it will only make you tired all the time.

I said, energy's the source of everything for me.

And he's like, oh, you're afraid, you're like Samson.

You're afraid you're gonna cut your hair.

I said, but you know, the surgeon wants to cut me.

I go, measure it once a year or something.

And thank God I did, Jay, because 6 months later, the FDA, I was having to go to Switzerland because wasn't available in the US and the FDA never allotted in because they found it created cancer So I missed a bullet Went to 5 other docs.

So 6 and told 7 in total and Last doc told me what I wanted to hear Which was Tony you have a huge amount of growth hormone, but he goes you literally do you I burn 11, 300 calories in 1 day on stage give you an idea I guess a group followed me for 3 years that follows Olympic athletes and Tom Brady and people like that and So they've measured everything in my body and he goes you're doing 2 and a half marathons Basically in calorie burn in a day and you're doing 4 days in a row like that He goes your ability to recover is insane.

You've recovered He goes That's that's coming from that growth hormone.

I believe and he said so I know bodybuilders that are spending 1, 200 bucks You know a month to have what you're getting for free.

I'm 62 I've never had a problem since I've measured it but it really changed my Outlook and The first 1 made my outlook look like there is an answer.

And the second 1, my outlook was there's a price for certainty.

got to be very careful what price you pay to be certain.

You got to find that certainty within yourself, which I know is a lot of what you teach and I do as well, Jay.

Thank you for walking us through that and especially going back a bit further as well.

I think what I find fascinating about that, Tony, and a lot of the work you do, is why does it, why do we as humans often wait to see, not even see pain, you saw pain in someone else and you tried to help solve it And that got you working.

But why is it that we often wait to experience pain before we decide to change a part of our lives, make a different choice, to create a shift?

Why is it that we wait so often for stress and pressure?

I have that question was burning in me because you know I was traveling around had the privilege of this stage of life You know traveling around the earth

people from every walk of life I'm 100 plus countries.

I've worked in and I'd see the same problems even though you mean different cultures like you know Go to an Asian culture.

It's not about the individual It's about the group right, But I'd still see the same problems.

Like, okay, what's the common human experience?

Because I'm seeing the same problems even though it's a different culture, even though it's different beliefs, right?

And I began to realize that there are certain human needs.

And there were 6 that I identified that I've used ever since, and it's helped me understand.

Certainty that you can avoid pain and that you can be comfortable is the most basic need.

It's a survival need, because if you have continuous pain, that's continuous damage.

But what happens for people is most people that first basic need is where they live.

They don't grow Another need the second need is uncertainty Because ironically if you're certain all the time you're bored out of your mind If you're completely uncertain you kind of freaked out and a balance is not in it's the ability to use both enter both worlds And then there's the need for significance, which is a big part of our culture today, thanks to social media, that need to feel special, unique, important, right?

It can be a very positive emotion or need, it can be very negative depending upon how it's used, how it's directed.

And then there's the need for connection and love, which everybody has.

And those 4 needs, everybody finds a way to meet.

If you have to lie to yourself, work 20-hour days, you're going to find certainty somehow.

You're going to find some form of significance.

Some people do it by tearing other people down.

You're going to find some level of at least connection, if not love.

But the final 2, what make people feel alive, which is growing, everything in the universe grows or dies, and contributing, everything in the universe contributes or It's eventually eliminated by evolution.

So those are the spiritual needs, growth and contribution, where you get beyond yourself.

And I think that the majority of us don't take moves because of fear, and fear is just uncertainty.

And when I go around and I describe this in more detail, and I work with a big audience, 15, 20, 000 people and I'll say, have them do a set of exercises and have them figure out where do they get, what triggers them to be certain or uncertain, what triggers them to have variety and so forth, so they understand that everything I do is to meet these needs.

But then I get them to say, what are your top 2?

Not what you think they should be, not what you want them to be, what are they?

And 90% of the people in our culture are certainty and significance or significance and certainty.

So they have this route, like if I can be successful enough, then I'll be worthy of it.

Or if I can just control it enough and know it's that way, but you can't control love, right?

And so most people are, they're trying to meet their needs in a kind of a backwards way.

And I think that fear, that uncertainty, is what keeps most people from growing until they get enough pain, And then that pushes them to a threshold where their needs aren't being met, they gotta change.

And unfortunately, most people wait till they have enough pain.

it's not yours, but I'm sure you've had experiences as much as I've had where you did have to be pushed that far to get there, right?

Yeah, By the way, I'm so glad I asked you that question because that's the best answer I've ever heard.

It's simple, but it's profound as well because usually we would say, oh yeah, the reason why we wait till we don't have to change is because we're comfortable and we're okay with it.

But really, it's because you're saying these needs keep us trapped, almost.

In fact, if you're wanting to change but not changing, it's because some of your needs are met by what you're doing and some of them aren't.

That's why you're in that push-pull, but you don't usually do enough until you're pushed over the edge.

smoking a cigarette, what does it give people?

Comfort, because you take a breath of cigarette, you take a nice slow deep breath in and take it out, it calms the nervous system, right?

It's something that they're comfortable with.

It's variety, if they're all stressed out and then they start to breathe differently, it's variety in the body.

For some people, they did it originally for significance.

Today, it's not really that cool to most people, but for some generations, some places it is, some people see it as a connection with themselves.

But if all of a sudden you're now in a relationship with somebody who doesn't smoke, and you really love them, and you want their total love and attention and they're completely disgusted by cigarettes Now my needs for love.

right are really strong and my need for this comfort is really strong And so you have this push-pull and then some people make the shift some people don't

Well what you said to me really rang a bell for me, and we spoke a bit about it earlier.

I came to a point in my life, there was 1 point earlier when I left the monastery where I really struggled with my health, which I've spoken about before.

But even more recently, And it's interesting, you were 31, I'm 34 now.

And it was probably around a similar time, maybe around 30 years old, where I realized that I had 2 choices.

I either had to slow down or I had to up my focus on my health.

And that's why I'm so excited about this book, For the World to Read.

Because you're giving us opportunities and access to thought and ideas and practices and medicine that can help us up our game of our health.

often what we do is we choose to slow down.

We choose to just go, okay, well, I'm just gonna do less.

And you and I, I think we both connect on the fact that actually giving and service and contribution and making an impact on such big needs that I was just like, I don't wanna stop though.

Like just as you said with the energy point, I don't wanna not be able to do as much and give more.

And that simple decision is what led me to be attracted to what you're doing in this book and the work in this area.

Talk to us a bit about that energy piece.

In the book, you talk a lot about boosting your energy through natural compounds.

And when I was reading about this, I was fascinated because we're not hearing about this everywhere.

If somebody were to tell you 5 years ago that you could reverse aging, people would laugh at you.

But today, there are billions and billions of dollars being spent by the richest people in the world, mostly in Silicon Valley, and some of the greatest scientists in the world that have been breakthroughs in the last 5 years that are amazing.

He's probably the number 1 longevity expert in the world, and I write about him in the book.

And 1 thing is He's 53 chronologically, but he's 33 biochemically.

I've applied what he's taught me for 6 months now, since I met him, 7 months, maybe 8 months now, and I'm 62, but I'm 51.

My goal is to get it down to 41 or 42 if I possibly can.

Well, there are ways of reversing, everybody knows their body's made of stem cells, I'm sure, by now, and there's ways of reversing the process of a stem cell, literally from skin back to a pluripotent, where it can become anything.
