Verbatim from the transcripts — each quote links to the moment.
“I'm on a beautiful podcast with you guys walking on the beach in Sydney, Australia. It can't get better.”
“the more and more experience you have with anything, just like in life, you get used to it and be able to handle it.”
“the bottom line is stress still ruins you and we're all under a lot of stress.”
Why do revision cosmetic surgeries cost more and is that linked to quality?
Higher cost tends to reflect surgeon experience and the complexity of fixing prior botched work (e.g., multiple failed rhinoplasties) requiring longer surgery and more skill, rather than cost alone guaranteeing a better outcome.
How should you approach intermittent fasting if you're new to it?
Expect an adjustment period of weakness (Nassif says it took about a month for his body to stabilise); stick with 16:8 fasting six days a week, cut back on flour and sugar, and allow yourself a treat meal like a Sunday breakfast.
