Energy Apprentice Ken Podcast:He Only Eats Every 70 Days, but That’s Not the Point

MikeyBreathes on Energy, Regeneration, and Remembering What You Are

This conversation isn’t a “how‑to” on extreme fasting. It’s about what happens when someone questions the version of “normal” most people live in and then builds a completely different relationship with energy, food, and life itself.

A Different Kind of “Normal”

Host Ken opens by sharing how he fell down the Mikey rabbit hole in a single day binge‑watching his clips about reality being created from within, putting on muscle while eating far less often, and living with a level of energy that defies the usual limits of age, diet, and gym culture.

Mikey insists he’s a “normal guy” who simply stopped accepting the status quo and started letting his body and life show him what “normal” is supposed to be. Instead of living a suppressed life of constant workouts, supplements, low energy, and medication, he oriented his entire life around one thing: listening to his body and soul, and following that signal.

What He Actually Teaches (Not How to Stop Eating)

Throughout the conversation, Ken keeps circling back to the thing that first caught his attention: Mikey going long stretches without food. Mikey explains that this didn’t happen overnight and it isn’t a challenge, a spiritual contest, or a goal he wants anyone to pursue.

He’s very clear that:

✔️He still drinks things like coconut water, coffee, tea, juice, and sometimes raw milk, and this has been a slow process over almost half a decade.

✔️He used to be the person who could not stop eating, felt constantly hungry, and was miserable during traditional fasts.

✔️What changed was not “pushing harder,” but wasting less energy emotionally, mentally, and physically until his system simply didn’t demand as much input.

Mikey repeatedly brings the focus back to nourishment, not deprivation: you are made of minerals like magnesium, iodine, selenium, potassium, zinc, iron and more, and your body needs to actually absorb those from real food in order to exist as living matter in this reality. You don’t need powders and pills; you need real animal and plant foods that naturally carry the compounds you’re made of.

This is the lens he also emphasizes inside The Guide understanding what you are made of, and making sure you are feeding that, not starving it.

Energy, Not Hustle

One of the biggest shifts Mikey points to is the difference between trying and being. For most of his life he, like everyone else, chased results:

✔️Training in Muay Thai and mixed martial arts

✔️Running up to 20–25 miles at a time

✔️Playing both offense and defense in school sports

✔️Meditating for days at a time to try to “get somewhere” spiritually

Now, his view is that most people are exhausted because they are constantly trying to become something, instead of discovering what they already are. The more you chase, the more energy you burn. The more energy you burn, the more you compensate with food, stimulants, and external validation.

He flips the usual “goal setting” narrative completely:

✔️If you need goals to feel like life has meaning, you probably don’t yet know what life is for you.

✔️Your only real “goal” is to know yourself. Once you understand your own blueprint, the right actions, relationships, and resources start to move toward you instead of you chasing them.

This is a recurring theme in The Guide as well: life gets radically simpler and more efficient when you stop trying to manufacture an identity and instead remove what blocks your natural expression.

Food, Vitamins, and Minerals

When the conversation turns to nutrition, Mikey gives a very grounded explanation:

✔️You are made of specific compounds retinol, selenium, magnesium, iodine, choline, potassium, iron, zinc, and more.

✔️You cannot create these from nothing; you must absorb them through food.

✔️“Vitamins and minerals” are simply the building blocks of human structure, not a fancy concept.

He is firmly against relying on synthetic supplements and lab‑made powders. Instead, he encourages people to get what they need from real foods animal products, seafood, eggs, organs, mushrooms, plants, roots, fruits, and vegetables because everything in this fractal universe is made from the same basic components.

This lines up directly with the message in The Guide:
feed your body the elements it is made of, in their natural forms, every day. The focus is on eating enough of the right things so your body can regenerate, not on copying extreme protocols.

Toxins, “Blocked Receptors,” and Why So Many People Feel Off

Another core pillar of Mikey’s framework is environment. He argues that many people are “blocked” not because they lack discipline, but because their receptors are clogged by constant input heavy meals, endless content, chemicals, and unstable compounds in products they use every day.

According to him:

✔️When you’re full of the wrong inputs, you can’t feel subtle signals: gut instincts, intuitive warnings, early signs of problems.

✔️Accidents and repeated “bad luck” are often just the result of being too numbed out to feel what was coming.

✔️Removing unstable chemicals and energy‑wasting habits is one of the fastest ways to free up the energy that your body can then use for regeneration.

A big part of The Guide is devoted to this environmental cleanup detoxing products, simplifying routines, and creating a field where your body can finally be heard again.

Self‑Love, Safety, and Relationships

The podcast also moves into how Mikey thinks about relationships, self‑love, and the environments we create with other people. He shares that he has multiple long‑term partners across the world, but the core of that dynamic is not performance or image, it is safety, honesty, and allowing people to be fully themselves around him.

He describes:

✔️Women arriving exhausted from holding up a lifetime of expectations, then sleeping deeply for the first time because their nervous system finally feels safe.

✔️Letting people drop their masks, rules, and performative standards so their real body and energy can soften, heal, and even physically change.

✔️Seeing his role as creating a field where others can remember who they are, not as someone who needs to be idolized.

This same principle creating environments of safety and self‑respect is also what he wants people to build for themselves using The Guide and the community around it.

God, Life, and Why He Doesn’t Chase Fame

When Ken asks about God, reincarnation, and purpose, Mikey’s answer is blunt:

✔️He sees God as everything the full spectrum of reality, not a concept limited to one label or religion.

✔️He believes most people die in a “level” they don’t understand because they never learned to see or complete what that stage of life was asking of them.

✔️He suspects we are meant to be far more long‑lived, even potentially infinite, but our lack of awareness and energy leads us to manifest death in different forms.

On fame, he says he actively resisted it for most of his life. As his content started to spread, he felt pushed to “suck it up” and share more publicly not to build a brand, but because people are starving for a different way to relate to themselves.

His stance is consistent with what he teaches in The Guide: your life is not meant to be an endless grind toward an external identity. It is meant to be the expression of what you already are, once you remove what distorts that signal.

If You Feel Something Moving in You

If this conversation stirred anything in you a mix of curiosity, discomfort, or relief that’s the point. It isn’t an instruction manual to stop eating or abandon your life. It’s an invitation to question where your energy is going, what you are really feeding, and whether your current “normal” is actually serving you.

If you want to explore further, there are two main places to start.

The Guide

The Guide is Mikey’s digital manual that lays out the foundations he keeps returning to in this podcast:

✔️How to remove hidden toxins and energy leaks from your environment so your body can stop fighting against you

✔️How to think about food, minerals, and real nourishment in a way that supports regeneration instead of constant compensation

✔️How to read your body’s signals fatigue, smell, digestion, mood as feedback rather than random flaws

✔️How to live more from what you are, instead of chasing endless external goals that exhaust you

It’s written for everyday people who want to feel lighter, clearer, and more alive without needing a suitcase of supplements or extreme protocols.

The Life Community

If you don’t want to navigate this alone, Mikey’s private community gives you ongoing support while you work with these principles in your actual life.

Inside, members share:

✔️Real‑time experiences applying the ideas from The Guide

✔️Wins in energy, health, relationships, and even finances as they stop wasting themselves on what doesn’t matter

✔️Questions, obstacles, and refinements as they focus on nourishing their body and simplifying their environment rather than copying extremes
