I've watched Christian for 8-9 years now. I don't think I ever heard more genuine "laughs" from him ever. Literally ever. Those laughs were from the stomach. Never seen it. Hope he's in a good place. Certainly seems like it.
I’ve never heard Christian speak so clearly and put together. I think the adderall definitely was hindering personality and communication. Proud of you and thanks for sharing with us!!
@@Thejess5000and he said he was taking “a lot more” than his prescribed dose which is already an insane dose. Of course he’s gonna have negative effects, it’s not the meds, it’s abusing the meds causing the issues..
I don’t think there is anything wrong with having guests such as Christian & Taylor on the podcast multiple times. It’s always super interesting & new. I hope you have Heidi back again as well!
Dude I’ve watched Christian for 10 years now and this pod made me feel like he’s finally back to his old self… the past 2-3 years were really hard to watch him as a follower! The No adderall seems to be giving him a clearer mind! Talking normal and actually laughing a real laugh other than seeming half in and out the whole time! Dude actually seemed fun to be around for once! Hopefully we get more of this dude
I got teary eyed hearing that you’re going to be the officiant at Heidi and Christian’s wedding 🥹 I love that!!! Also I love that you guys are all settling down, getting married and ready for babies. ❤
This explains EVERYTHING. How Christian was able to pull so many all nighters, or go to bed at 2am and be back at the gym at 6am and never seem to burn out. Why he was constantly dripping in sweat. How was able to stay so shredded at every comp (not to take away from his hard work the guy definitely worked harder than everyone but taking amphetamines definitely helped)
Yeah this needs to be emphasized more. I believe he is a hard worker and did put his energy in the right space. But it would not be possible to do all of this in such a timeframe without the fuel of amphetamines. Thankfully I learned early on in healthcare the level of abuse adderall has among "high performing" individuals. Its the same with PED's as well though too, people love to just skate around something that was a MASSIVE contributing factor to where they are. Thankfully more transparency is coming out around things like this.
Loved this! People can be addicted to anything. My husband was addicted to Soda. It’s taken years to get him to drink alternative options. The struggle for him was real .. but after 3 years of ups and downs he finally quit drinking it. Proud of anyone that can kick any addiction! It takes a lot of dedication and will power.
15 minutes in and the deep friendship and history between you both is so evident, genuine, and refreshing. I've watched you all for 8 years or so and love the life lessons, fitness, and fun. 💪👊🙂
Been watching Christian since 2015. He’s always been a big inspiration and glad he’s opening up on some more personal things. As a viewer I think it’s easy to watch people online and think their lives are perfect not remembering we all have challenges we face. Good episode!
Christian seems totally different and so much better. Almost a completely different person so much energy and emotion and you can tell he's more in the moment than ever! Happy for him!
I am a licensed psychologist and I just want to say Christian is right. There are companies out there online where you can take an iPad test and you are essentially paying for a guarantee ADHD diagnosis. These companies are not legitimate and many PCPS are starting to figure this out and will no longer accept those evaluations. Now it’s becoming required to have an assessment by a licensed provider in some part to avoid overprescribing stimulants. I am very passionate about this topic as I do ADHD evals every week and would be happy to talk further.
What is your feedback on treating adhd? I have an appointment today for possible treatment discussion and I’m terrified. I’m taking the TOVA test and discussing options. I’m so worried about the pros, cons, risks, and benefits. If I’m ultimately going to feel worse down the road then I don’t want to treat but if you think it can be a solution without the cons outweighing then I will explore. I’m just so nervous
I’ve watched Christian’s life since 2015 and I’ve never seen him have a conversation with such smooth dialogue. The adderall had his words so jumpy and short. He just sounds “normal” now if that makes sense
I am SO HAPPY to hear Christian is opening up, so many pieces falling into place. He truly seems so different and happy. Loved this podcast. Most authentic pod I’ve heard in a long ass time.
Great pod. Huge change in Christian on this pod. Hes much more relaxed and chill. Christian built a major gym concept but it came at a cost. Im glad Christians back.
@Aesthetics622 addiction is the same for all addicts. It's just a matter of how much you allow it to affect your life. I'm a professional golfer. But I'm still an alcoholic.
@Aesthetics622addiction is addiction is addiction. A highly successful person can become the person living on the street in a matter of months. There is no difference.
I am so happy for Christian! Look at the sparkle in his eyes and voice! Wow! I notice he really seems extra grounded in himself. Comfortable in his skin and genuinley happy & himself. It is none of my business but his overall demeanor/energy is speaking volumes to his wellbeing. Sending him so much LOVE! I am in recovery and have abused adderall and everything else. Adderall is not easy to come off and find your balance again. Atleast it was super hard for me. This video really touched my heart. I have so much compassion for him. Congratulations to you & Heidi!
This was a good one, refreshing to see this side of Christian & opening up, I think we all appreciate when the regular things are shared like worries, nerves, issues - all the things that all humans have. Also love when you have Joe on too. 👍
This pod got me back on the christian vids man, i have been a ghost sub for a min. Loving the new genuine energy he is bringing, also great to see you reminisce and chop it up with max.
Absolutely love seeing these guys rekindle their friendship and do a bit of reflecting on how far they have come. These dudes have been inspiring me for 9 years now. Havent watched CG in a couple but Im gonna hop back on the train. Love this so much
Where you guys are now in life is crazy .. but the best part of this podcast was when you guys started chatting pokemon and I got that "best friends vibe"! Don't lose that no matter what man, that's what life is about.
This was one the best pods I listened to. Hearing Christian talk about the things he had to do to achieve his vision was super inspiring. You learn to do something by doing it but at the same time, having a careful balance of how much you push for your vision can be the difference between a healthy and unhealthy life. Crazy to watch his journey all these years.
adderall addiction is so common, can't wait to hear him discuss it. bringing it to the light could really help others struggling, i think its is way more common than we realize
The Adderall discussion makes so much more sense with Christian now. Been following the guy for so long, when he made that video months back where he was completely not himself I bet it had something to do with the Adderall. And for so many years he would be saying how he didn’t sleep overnight or only slept two hours, of course the Adderall is doing that to him. Really hope he evens out and gets the clarity that he needs. The pharmaceutical industry is the most evil industry in the world.
People been pointing out his use of stims in the comments for years. Because of that I’m not surprised at all but really interesting to hear him talk about it for real.
Sugar is just as addictive as other substances. You said it best "I just can't stop." Takes more than willpower to overcome that, takes a Higher Power. Thanks for being open and candid as you are helping many people.
This podcast hit home for me. I’ve also watched Christian over the last 9 years and the conversations around adderall use and the many daily Ls that come with success touched me to my core. Thank you both for the transparency 🙏🏾
Have rarely watched Christian and Maxx. However, the last couple yrs seeing both GROW their companies through the cove was really great! Seeing Alphalete go from an idea to reality from a RUclipsr was amazing. We will be looking to our 22nd yr anniversary this March. Met in high school and have never looked back. It's not easy, can be stressful, but if you understand ROIC, then youll get the reward. If you ever look to move east to S.A. let me know.
Name a better duo…. I’ll wait! Your friendship is so legit. I’ve watched you guys for years. I am so happy you two are still close and pushing each other forward. 🎉❤
Honestly almost unsurprising with the adderall addiction… it was always weird about preaching putting in the work, hustle and grind, staying awake for 3 days straight to build out alphaland, on top of taking steroids during bodybuilding, multiple energy drinks, massive weight fluctuations. We get it hard work never sleeps esp you’re the one who has to pay back the massive loans/taxes on multiple businesses - but dam dawg you’re jeopardizing your health for the future. You’d think you wanna be able to live long, have no health complications into your late 30s and actually be there for your kids. Rather have health than literally killing yourself. Meanwhile the average American citizen like us working 60 hours a week just to barely survive and support a family. Regardless we’re all glad you’re acknowledging your addiction, really focusing on your health. Everyone is proud of the success, you made it dawg. Money will never be an issue for you, your legacy is cemented. Next up is your health and the future of your family guzman. Peace n love blessings brother.
Hearing Christian talk about adderal makes me feel better about his situation. It was very clear he was abusing something and adderal makes a lot of sense. That stuff is so bad too, I’ve had many friends ruin a lot of good things they had going relying on that stuff
I'm happy for the friendship both of you have. From Max being understanding and supportive of what you went through (Christian), and from Christian acknowledging, taking accountability, and apologizing for the behaviors that may have negatively impacted the relationship. I want to say that I'm glad that you're on the other side of adderall addiction, and to be honest, as a provider myself... whoever prescribed you 30 mg 3x a day KNEW that the FDA approved limit is 40 mg for ADHD and 60 mg for narcolepsy... so the fact that they didn't try to encourage you to stop or look out for you is crazy. Watching you since you were in your starting gym after Chris Jones collab, I don't know if that's how far back you were prescribed but man, it would've been amazing to see this fun and goofy Christian often. The way you described how the medication made you serious and focused on one thing, which prevented you from doing other things (I'm assuming difficulty pulling away) or feeling typical emotions is pretty spot on. It sounds like your provider never told you the drawbacks of excessive dopamine, or that while the medication is effective in treating ADHD. You still technically have ADHD and you don't necessarily get to choose how you guide your focus even when it's there. Will be watching as one of your oldest subs, and if you ever have questions about what you went through with medication or ADHD you can always reach out. Proud but never satisfied!
My favorite episode thus far. Everything said was so genuine. It’s nice seeing Christian looking human. The fact that you guys can discuss Pokemon like that makes you guys genuine goofballs.
This was the podcast of the yr! Great to see you fellas doing monumental numbers and still keeping the beast alive. We've Watched both of yall grow from both your parents homes. Really inspiring! Cheers to a great 2024!
9:50 Doesn't that basically mean he wasn't ready for marriage? He said that saying "not right now" at the end of the last podcast led to a conversation (which obviously means Heidi saw and questioned him), then she paused the TV show, said she wants to get married, and they had a conversation that led to him buying her a ring. But didn't he already know she wanted to get married? Why did it take Heidi basically giving him an ultimatum for him to propose? I feel bad for both of them because he doesn't deserve to be pressured into changing his timeline, and Heidi deserves someone that is READY for marriage. She never should have had to wait so long and basically beg for a proposal.
I was so glued to my screen trying to finish watching this podcast. I have never wanted to keep watching something so much. Conversations for flowing and the topics were great!!!
Christian should have a look at why Sam Sulek is blowing up. He is basically doing the same thing Christian was doing 10 years ago with the Detonation and early Summer Shredding series. The more personal car conversations, the simple tripod set up, the kitchen prep scenes. Its classic RUclips and the same reason why it was a success a decade ago is the same reason why a new generation is connecting with Sam Sulek today. A lot of Christian’s early followers have careers and kids now, so the engagement would naturally be less.
I remember a collegue told me that alderall isnt what people think too (referring to limitless). He says it can help you be zoned in and focused on what you're doing but if the first thing youre doing or what your mind latches on to such as playimg videos games then thats what you end up doing the wholenday and not being productive where you want to be.
I’m personally diagnosed with add and have been taking adderall for a long time (and sometimes a bit too much). What your collegue said is real asf, Adderall doesn’t automatically make you sit down and do your work. You first need the intention and setup to do what you got to do or else you’ll just get hooked on random stuff
I really want this question to be answered how did he get prescribed 90 mg of Adderall daily when I know every doctor here in Florida has said 60 mg daily is the maximum legal limit. How is he getting prescribed 90 mg a day? I understand you can make exceptions or the law might be different in a different state but I’m genuinely asking how this happened. I’ve heard of somebody getting prescribed 240 mg daily but that was for an extreme case so once again, if anyone has the answer, I’m really curious as to how he got prescribed 90 mg of Adderall daily when the legal limit is 60 mg
Everyone is hyping up CG which is great because he's so clearly doing better but just wanted to shout out maxxypoo. Still the same goofy, humble but massively successful potato we've all watched for years. Never change maxx 👍
Broooo I wondered what CG was so damn happy about the past few months. I thought he was taking antidepressants! So happy to see your true personality unleashed aside from the grind mode personality. (not that you werent great in both conditions). But this make so much more sense now. Happy to see you happy CG
Love how open and comfortable your guys are with eachother. Shows how good of friends you really are which is sometimes hard to grasp out of a quick RUclips vid
As a female, with a lot of female friends, sometimes adderall it associated with getting very skinny. And it’s a shortcut rather than taking the time & effort to develop correct healthy eating habits. Took it in college but off it for almost 2 years now so glad I went off. This isn’t talked about enough
@@certifiedfinest5065 on adderall, I just felt like every experience was synthetic. For me, I always needed constant stimulation on it and I absolutely could not relax and felt uncomfortable with peace and just being. I felt like I needed it every single day and throughout the day. Now, without it, I feel more at peace and I feel like I’m in my right mind. I just always wanted to be on the go or something happening, now my body feels at ease
I love that I grew with you guys and it’s so satisfying to hear you guys talk business because I’m on my road and I thank you guys and hearing you guys talk business is very satisfying. Congrats on your success.
If Alphalete had minimal branding like Lulu or Alo I guarantee you more people would buy lol. Can’t tell you how many times people have said “oh I love the design or oh the quality is actually really good, but man I can’t wear that wolf head or something with ALPHALETE front and center.” This includes myself. Christian did it right with the Monarch and Evo lines (which are now discontinued). Mature the brand, even Lulu people don’t wear the shit that has LULULEMON stamped on the front.

@dorinefitt agree but he sounds very aware and wanting to better himself. What a great podcast 👏
💯
This is the Christian we need more of. He seems SOOOOOOO much more happy and relaxed
I’ve never heard Christian speak so clearly and put together. I think the adderall definitely was hindering personality and communication. Proud of you and thanks for sharing with us!!
And by the way… 30 Milligrams a day is a lot lol so 90+ is insane.
Yes! He definitely carries himself and expresses himself way differently now. It's so refreshing to see.

The revenue talk and the talk about feeling it can all go away needs a hour on its own. That's gold.

Addiction is very difficult for someone to understand if they dont go through it. I always thought addicts were weak until i became an alcoholic.
Spot on, I started heavy drinking during the pandemic/shutdown. Virtual happy hours turned into daily drinking after 5pm. Thats how it starts.
Great pod. Huge change in Christian on this pod. Hes much more relaxed and chill. Christian built a major gym concept but it came at a cost. Im glad Christians back.

Social media can be so fake and toxic, it's refreshing to see two friends just having a great time.
The most raw version of him we’ve seen! Love the transparency and the bromance. 😂💕
This was one the best pods I listened to. Hearing Christian talk about the things he had to do to achieve his vision was super inspiring. You learn to do something by doing it but at the same time, having a careful balance of how much you push for your vision can be the difference between a healthy and unhealthy life. Crazy to watch his journey all these years.

This was the podcast of the yr! Great to see you fellas doing monumental numbers and still keeping the beast alive. We've Watched both of yall grow from both your parents homes. Really inspiring! Cheers to a great 2024!
9:50 Doesn't that basically mean he wasn't ready for marriage? He said that saying "not right now" at the end of the last podcast led to a conversation (which obviously means Heidi saw and questioned him), then she paused the TV show, said she wants to get married, and they had a conversation that led to him buying her a ring. But didn't he already know she wanted to get married? Why did it take Heidi basically giving him an ultimatum for him to propose? I feel bad for both of them because he doesn't deserve to be pressured into changing his timeline, and Heidi deserves someone that is READY for marriage. She never should have had to wait so long and basically beg for a proposal.
I was hooked from the get go! Raw, engaging and loved the authentic honesty!! Thank you 😊
I love Guzman, happy to hear he's well
This is was wonderful to listen to during my workout . Christian seems fun and great to be around .
I was so glued to my screen trying to finish watching this podcast. I have never wanted to keep watching something so much. Conversations for flowing and the topics were great!!!
You two just hanging out & catching up is awesome, we love it
Christian should have a look at why Sam Sulek is blowing up. He is basically doing the same thing Christian was doing 10 years ago with the Detonation and early Summer Shredding series. The more personal car conversations, the simple tripod set up, the kitchen prep scenes. Its classic RUclips and the same reason why it was a success a decade ago is the same reason why a new generation is connecting with Sam Sulek today. A lot of Christian’s early followers have careers and kids now, so the engagement would naturally be less.
Saw the whole thing nothing was boring from Cristian
💯💯💯
I remember a collegue told me that alderall isnt what people think too (referring to limitless). He says it can help you be zoned in and focused on what you're doing but if the first thing youre doing or what your mind latches on to such as playimg videos games then thats what you end up doing the wholenday and not being productive where you want to be.
I’m personally diagnosed with add and have been taking adderall for a long time (and sometimes a bit too much). What your collegue said is real asf, Adderall doesn’t automatically make you sit down and do your work. You first need the intention and setup to do what you got to do or else you’ll just get hooked on random stuff
Feels so good to have Christian back, so happy for him
I’m happy Christian finally asked Heidi to be his wife. She’s awesome!
Maxx sick podcast, love the interaction and true friendship between the 2 of you! Keep these coming!!!!!
By far the best episode with Max and Christian. Enjoyed this so much. Thanks gentlemen!
Glad you 2 are back together!
Christian seems way more happy in this podcast than the previous ones
I really want this question to be answered how did he get prescribed 90 mg of Adderall daily when I know every doctor here in Florida has said 60 mg daily is the maximum legal limit. How is he getting prescribed 90 mg a day? I understand you can make exceptions or the law might be different in a different state but I’m genuinely asking how this happened. I’ve heard of somebody getting prescribed 240 mg daily but that was for an extreme case so once again, if anyone has the answer, I’m really curious as to how he got prescribed 90 mg of Adderall daily when the legal limit is 60 mg
Everyone is hyping up CG which is great because he's so clearly doing better but just wanted to shout out maxxypoo. Still the same goofy, humble but massively successful potato we've all watched for years. Never change maxx 👍
Broooo I wondered what CG was so damn happy about the past few months. I thought he was taking antidepressants! So happy to see your true personality unleashed aside from the grind mode personality. (not that you werent great in both conditions). But this make so much more sense now. Happy to see you happy CG
Definitely enjoyed this episode and it is nice to see Christian more present and relaxed
This podcast hit different. I used to watch both of yall when I was young. the looking back is crazy
Love how open and comfortable your guys are with eachother. Shows how good of friends you really are which is sometimes hard to grasp out of a quick RUclips vid
I love this so much! Great seeing Christian in such a good place.
Hey Max could you have Oz back in the Podcast and ask him about his journey with finding God
I think the both of you are so brave for your honesty. So many of us have or know someone with the same addiction issues. Thank you 🙏💪🏼
Loved this one! Always good seeing you guys get together for some content 👏
Max is in the path to be a BILLIONARE in the near future....he is a very smart man!!
My two favorite RUclipsrs on one podder ! Do it more often doooodsss
Best podcast ever! Great to see you two together and see Christian healthy and enjoying life. Congrats!
Two grown men getting sooo excited over Pokémon…. I love it haha you guys are awesome
Maxx brings out the best in people. Guzman has never been so authentic and, yes, charming as today.
im so glad Christian is doing better, i found Maxx from Christian yet i now watch only Maxx cause of the change in Christian
Man! This is the Christian we’ve all grown up with!!!! He’s backkkkkkkkkk
As a female, with a lot of female friends, sometimes adderall it associated with getting very skinny. And it’s a shortcut rather than taking the time & effort to develop correct healthy eating habits. Took it in college but off it for almost 2 years now so glad I went off. This isn’t talked about enough
As a fellow former adderall addict, it’s best to cut off alcohol as well.
Has life been better without Adderall?
@@certifiedfinest5065 oh yes.
@@Eplovesjesus how was life with Adderall and without?
@@certifiedfinest5065 on adderall, I just felt like every experience was synthetic. For me, I always needed constant stimulation on it and I absolutely could not relax and felt uncomfortable with peace and just being. I felt like I needed it every single day and throughout the day. Now, without it, I feel more at peace and I feel like I’m in my right mind. I just always wanted to be on the go or something happening, now my body feels at ease
I have a major sugar addiction! I can’t go a day without.
Bring Christian on again, this pod was a lot of fun.
I love that I grew with you guys and it’s so satisfying to hear you guys talk business because I’m on my road and I thank you guys and hearing you guys talk business is very satisfying. Congrats on your success.
I thought this episode was great! Happy to see Christian is doing well! Following since roughly 2013
You can tell Christian is nervous on camera he has the nervous laugh lol . But he seems genuinely happy and he seems like he’s getting getter sleep ..
If Alphalete had minimal branding like Lulu or Alo I guarantee you more people would buy lol. Can’t tell you how many times people have said “oh I love the design or oh the quality is actually really good, but man I can’t wear that wolf head or something with ALPHALETE front and center.” This includes myself.
Christian did it right with the Monarch and Evo lines (which are now discontinued). Mature the brand, even Lulu people don’t wear the shit that has LULULEMON stamped on the front.
Great episode! Loved Christians transparency. I’ll def be checking out the new channel
Great podder! Would love to hear more from christian about how cbum helped him. 👍
