This is why your face looks flat + the fix — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00This is why average faces are going to
- 0:02look flat. And this is the part that no
- 0:05one really explains because they simply
- 0:07don't understand it enough. So, by the
- 0:10end of this video, you're never going to
- 0:11look at another side profile the same
- 0:13way. And the reason I say that is
- 0:15because you're going to learn how elite
- 0:17side profiles are actually going to be
- 0:19built naturally. Step one is going to be
- 0:21the hidden foundation. What that means
- 0:23is the foundational bone, which is
- 0:25changing the entire side profile, making
- 0:28it either look flat and literally
- 0:30recessed versus giving you a model-esque
- 0:33appearance. That one bone is step one.
- 0:36Step two, the remodeling switch. We need
- 0:39to remodel this bone naturally, don't
- 0:41we? And we need to understand what's
- 0:43actually going to tell the bone to
- 0:45change naturally. Step three is going to
- 0:47link into that, and we're going to be
- 0:48unlocking the hidden force that we're
- 0:51actually going to be applying to the
- 0:53bone to stimulate remodeling around this
- 0:56particular bone using the tongue, which
- 0:59sits at the foundation of your face.
- 1:01Step four, the direction problem. Now,
- 1:05most people are actually able to
- 1:07generate force with their tongue pretty
- 1:09effectively, but they end up wasting it.
- 1:11And that wastage is what's causing
- 1:13everything to actually fall apart fall
- 1:15apart. So,
- 1:17step four is what actually completely
- 1:19changes how I looked at faces in the
- 1:22beginning and the same way how you're
- 1:25actually going to begin improving it.
- 1:27So, let's now do a deep dive into step
- 1:28one, the hidden foundation. So,
- 1:31the hidden foundation is going to be the
- 1:33fact that your jaw might not actually be
- 1:35the problem, and that a weak-looking
- 1:37side profile is more often blamed on the
- 1:40chin or jawline when it's actually
- 1:42something a lot more deeper than that.
- 1:45And if you look here, most people are
- 1:47going to immediately see that, okay, the
- 1:49jaw's going to look slightly different,
- 1:52but people see that there's something
- 1:54more. However, they can't quite
- 1:55articulate it.
- 1:57We need to go a further. We need to not
- 1:59only be able to articulate, we need to
- 2:01be able to fix it. So, what I want you
- 2:02to do right now is cover your jaw with
- 2:04your hand, literally, so you can't see
- 2:06it. Then, what I want you to do is
- 2:08compare your profile to someone with
- 2:11stronger facial projection. I'm going to
- 2:13show you here. If I were to cover
- 2:15Alicia's jaw, look at her face. You can
- 2:17still tell that there's something
- 2:19lacking. Her face, from the front, you
- 2:20can tell there's something flat here.
- 2:22However, if I were to hide the jaw in
- 2:25this after picture now of Alicia, do you
- 2:28see how her frontal profile, you can
- 2:30tell it's projected? That even without
- 2:33seeing her jaw that there is something
- 2:35correct. That's exactly the point that
- 2:38I'm getting at. And that's going to come
- 2:40down to this bone. It's called the
- 2:42maxillary bone. The maxillary bone sits
- 2:45right in the middle of the face, and it
- 2:47is what determines your cheek, under
- 2:48eyes, and nose. If they all sit too far
- 2:52back, then guess what? The problem isn't
- 2:53actually going to be the jaw, which is
- 2:55making your side profile look flat. It's
- 2:57going to be the structure supporting
- 2:59everything on top of it. And you can see
- 3:00with where I was. This is where I was,
- 3:03and this is where I was after trying for
- 3:054 months, stuff that didn't really work.
- 3:09However, when I actually dialed in with
- 3:11everything, you can see how much
- 3:13changed. You can see what fundamentally
- 3:16changed. It's not the jaw, it's the
- 3:17maxillary bone. So, the jaw often
- 3:19reveals the problem, doesn't always
- 3:21cause it. That's the thing. So, which
- 3:22bone is actually responsible for that
- 3:24support? You just learned that it's the
- 3:25maxillary bone. So, step two.
- 3:28Let's understand the remodeling switch.
- 3:30So, before we go deeper into the
- 3:32maxillary bone in particular, let's
- 3:34answer a more important question. How
- 3:37and can bones even change? Can they
- 3:40actually structurally remodel? Now,
- 3:42fortunately, your skeleton is not
- 3:44static. What that means is that it's not
- 3:45just going to be the same. Throughout
- 3:47your entire life, your body is
- 3:50constantly removing old bone and
- 3:53replacing it with new bone through a
- 3:55process called bone remodeling. And you
- 3:57can see how there are particular cells,
- 4:00which you don't really need to know, but
- 4:01it's just interesting.
- 4:03There are particular cells called
- 4:05osteoblasts, which build bone, and then
- 4:07there's particular cells called
- 4:09osteoclasts, which take away bone. And
- 4:12this is typically
- 4:14um
- 4:15a reaction where you can think of it as
- 4:18it's equal, where there's the same
- 4:19amount of bone forming as being
- 4:21resorbed.
- 4:22And in some people, there's going to be
- 4:24more resorption, which is causing the
- 4:25bone structure to get worse. We want the
- 4:27opposite. So, bone isn't going to
- 4:30remodel randomly. It adapts when you
- 4:32receive the right signals. And the right
- 4:34signals are going to come about around
- 4:36the jaw and upwards on the jaw.
- 4:39Remember, we talked about the bone which
- 4:40sits on top of the jaw.
- 4:42And this is what it's going to look like
- 4:44in in the change in question. So, if I
- 4:48show you right here, look at where he
- 4:50was with regards to his jaw, and look at
- 4:52the visibility of it, especially his
- 4:54chin. Do you see how the chin and jaw
- 4:56improving is one aspect of it, but it
- 4:59actually comes down to what's above.
- 5:01Look at this portion in particular.
- 5:03That's what I want you to see. Do you
- 5:05see the difference there? That's what
- 5:06I'm talking about. Just so you can
- 5:07visualize it. So, once you understand
- 5:10those signals, the importance of the
- 5:12upper jaw becomes obvious. And the upper
- 5:14jaw is the bone in question, this bone
- 5:17which sits right in the middle. So,
- 5:19let's now understand what actually tells
- 5:21bone that it needs to remodel. How do we
- 5:23get this to actually happen?
- 5:25And this is where step three comes into
- 5:26play, unlocking that hidden force,
- 5:28unlocking what's actually going to
- 5:30project the side profile naturally. Now,
- 5:33the face is going to be under constant
- 5:34load. All the time your face is under
- 5:37load, whether that's from gravity,
- 5:38sagging it downwards, pulling it
- 5:40downwards, and making it recessed over
- 5:42time, or if it's upwards through a very
- 5:45particular exercise that I'm going to
- 5:46outline to you. So, if you see him, if
- 5:49we look at Tom Cruise, Tom Cruise could
- 5:50have easily looked like this. However,
- 5:52he doesn't. He looks far better. Do you
- 5:54see how the jaw's one thing where his
- 5:57the jaw here is so much better than the
- 5:59jaw here. But, it's not the jaw. Once
- 6:02again, the jaw's being pulled by
- 6:03something. It's being properly projected
- 6:05by the mid-face. The eyes are going to
- 6:07be a clear sign of that. So,
- 6:10every time that you chew, every time
- 6:12that you're actually biting into force
- 6:14of food, what you're doing is the teeth
- 6:16are actually going to have force
- 6:18traveling through them. And that is what
- 6:21allows it to travel through the facial
- 6:24skeleton, the skull.
- 6:26And this is what it's going to look
- 6:27like. So, I'm going to draw this out for
- 6:28you and I want you to really start to
- 6:31dial in with this from today. You
- 6:33typically are going to chew with food,
- 6:36and this is what most people do, around
- 6:38here. This is how they're chewing food,
- 6:39isn't it? And then you have
- 6:42a bolus of food, and it's going to be
- 6:44around here, isn't it? Sometimes it's
- 6:46you're going to chew from your cheek
- 6:49outside of the dental arch towards your
- 6:51cheek, and it's going to push on that.
- 6:52This is where the food is going to be
- 6:54and you're going to chew it. I'm telling
- 6:56you that chewing like this isn't helping
- 6:58you. You need to chew like this.
- 7:01So, with this uh best diagram I could
- 7:03find. Just imagine the tooth was up
- 7:04there. This is how I want you to chew.
- 7:07Obviously, to bite into food you're
- 7:09going to chew slight amount here. But, I
- 7:11want you to chew there. Why? Because
- 7:13look at how force is going to travel
- 7:14now. Do you see how this is literally
- 7:16going to help the projection in question
- 7:19over time? Do you see the difference
- 7:20that I'm talking about? You chewing
- 7:22properly in the manner that I'm talking
- 7:24about allows your face over time to go
- 7:26from looking like it's sinking to over
- 7:29time, through the process of bone
- 7:31remodeling, having more of a projected
- 7:33look by a couple of millimeters. But,
- 7:36guess what? A couple of millimeters is
- 7:38all you need. A couple of millimeters is
- 7:40the difference between a jaw like this
- 7:42versus a jaw like that.
- 7:44The goal is to have force travel
- 7:46properly. So, this is going to be called
- 7:49facial loading. Just like your legs are
- 7:51going to experience loading when you
- 7:52walk, your facial bones experience a
- 7:55loading when you're going to be chewing.
- 7:58And when you chew properly,
- 8:00guess what? The change is inevitable.
- 8:03The change travels from here that I just
- 8:06talked about. And you see how if we map
- 8:08it out on your maxillary bone and the
- 8:10rest of your face. You see how it's
- 8:12going to travel upwards. You see this
- 8:15difference. That's exactly what I'm
- 8:17talking about. So,
- 8:18without loading, your body has no reason
- 8:20to actually change. And without having a
- 8:22reason to change, guess what? You're
- 8:24never going to be able to actually
- 8:25improve
- 8:26your face. What's What we're trying to
- 8:29practically transform the thing in
- 8:31question. So,
- 8:33the catch is actually going to be that
- 8:34not all facial loading creates the same
- 8:36outcome. And this is where most people
- 8:38are going to get tripped up. Most people
- 8:40understand that, okay, yeah, there's
- 8:42going to be force, there's going to be
- 8:45their tongue can do quite a lot, their
- 8:47teeth can do quite a lot. But the issue
- 8:49is going to be
- 8:50that it's going the wrong direction. So,
- 8:52every bite creates facial loading,
- 8:55but chewing mechanics influence where
- 8:57that loading is directed. And this is
- 9:00why chewing properly is so important.
- 9:03Look at what's going to be around the
- 9:05jaw. You can chew, as most people do,
- 9:08side to side. You can actually chew like
- 9:10this. Like I'll show you right now.
- 9:13You That's the last thing you want to
- 9:14do. Basically, because you're going to
- 9:17have the condyle actually bend and exert
- 9:21an unnatural force.
- 9:23You can't be having that. And you can
- 9:25see the consequences of it. It's going
- 9:27to stem with the teeth here.
- 9:29And when this is unbalanced, do you see
- 9:31how everything then
- 9:33becomes worse. Look at the eye area here
- 9:35in this example compared to the eye area
- 9:37here. This is just an example, but you
- 9:40can see how if the foundation is wrong,
- 9:42this is going to completely change the
- 9:44trajectory of how your face is going to
- 9:46be. So, the goal isn't to just create
- 9:48more force. It's going to be to have
- 9:50better precision. You need to have
- 9:52better precision. And I'm going to show
- 9:53you how you can do that. How you can do
- 9:56this is I'll just show you an example.
- 9:59If you find yourself chewing food
- 10:01without actually paying attention to how
- 10:03many times you're chewing, then guess
- 10:05what? I guarantee to you that force is
- 10:08traveling in this downwards direction
- 10:10instead of having force traveling
- 10:12upwards. The easiest way is literally
- 10:14just count.
- 10:16Count how many times you're chewing your
- 10:19food and make sure you're not using the
- 10:22cheeks so that hollowing can actually
- 10:24come about over time and force is
- 10:27traveling in the correct direction. So,
- 10:29force isn't traveling outwards, but
- 10:32rather it's traveling up the central
- 10:34line, which allows for that projection.
- 10:37That's what's going to be so crucial.
- 10:39So, how do you constantly uh
- 10:41consistently direct where the force
- 10:44goes? How can you actually make that
- 10:45happen? Well, it's going to be
- 10:47amplifying the precise single signal.
- 10:50Remember I talked about the importance
- 10:51of precision with regards to direction.
- 10:54That's going to be crucial. Having the
- 10:55signal in question be precise is
- 10:58extremely important, isn't it?
- 11:00So, let's talk about
- 11:02how arrows actually going to create help
- 11:05with creating consistent remodeling
- 11:06signal. That's what I want you to now
- 11:09really have amplified. Because you've
- 11:11probably heard of arrow, and if you
- 11:13haven't, well, you're going to learn it
- 11:15in a different manner here. I want your
- 11:17tongue to now be able to pressurize
- 11:20upwards. So, you can chew properly, you
- 11:23can chew effectively, but I want you to
- 11:25now naturally pressurize the tongue in
- 11:27this manner inside of the roof of your
- 11:29mouth. And you can imagine what that's
- 11:30going to do with regards to facial
- 11:32projection. If you have these two force
- 11:34vectors always acting on your face, that
- 11:36is going to allow the jaw to also
- 11:39remodel over time, isn't it? Your jaw
- 11:41has no choice but for 1 to 2 mm for it
- 11:45to remodel. And this couple of
- 11:47millimeters is what is
- 11:49fundamentally transformative for
- 11:51everything. So, instead of just simply
- 11:53pressing the tongue upwards randomly, I
- 11:55want you to visualize the force
- 11:57beginning at the root of the tongue and
- 12:00then distributing onto the points that
- 12:02I've outlined onto the anterior maxilla,
- 12:05onto right here, the upper jaw. That's
- 12:08what's going to be crucial. The goal is
- 12:10not going to be to push harder, but it's
- 12:12to have this focused pathway. That
- 12:14focused pathway is what allows for us to
- 12:17drive. And when you can visualize it,
- 12:19literally stemming from the root of your
- 12:22tongue into where we need it to go.
- 12:24Your body has no choice but to remodel.
- 12:26So, what does that visually look like?
- 12:28What this visually is going to look like
- 12:30is that time your neck and your hyoid
- 12:33region is going to sit so much higher.
- 12:36The jaw structure is going to actually
- 12:38remodel. That's the aim of the game.
- 12:40That's how you can see it. So, you're no
- 12:41longer just applying pressure. You're
- 12:43going to be consciously directing force
- 12:46through the anterior maxilla. That is
- 12:49the aim of the game. So, now that I've
- 12:51optimized the signal, let's now discuss
- 12:53the very particular raw materials that
- 12:57you need for your body to respond to
- 12:59this. So, let's now discuss that.
- 13:01Now, as a bonus, we'll discuss the
- 13:03material problem.
- 13:05So, you've learned how bone remodeling
- 13:06works. You've seen how you can actually
- 13:08load and create that signal. You've also
- 13:09learned how arrow is going to work.
- 13:11Arrow is going to be what I just taught
- 13:13you here.
- 13:14How you can actually pressurize the
- 13:15tongue to allow force to travel in a
- 13:17very particular manner. So,
- 13:20let's see what minerals you actually
- 13:22need for this section of bone to
- 13:26remodel, for this to actually have
- 13:28enough force traveling through it, for
- 13:31that to be the main aim of the game. You
- 13:33can see here, when a face looks
- 13:34unhealthy, the bone structure is going
- 13:37to be
- 13:39very
- 13:40very much so not there. But also, the
- 13:43nutrients are also going to be not
- 13:45there. But when a face is attractive,
- 13:47the bone structure is going to be dialed
- 13:48in as well as the nutrients. Both of
- 13:51those things are going to be dialed in.
- 13:52That's the entire aim of the game, isn't
- 13:54it?
- 13:55So,
- 13:56what's going to be most often overlooked
- 13:58is
- 13:59the fact that a signal tells your body
- 14:01where to adapt, but it doesn't provide
- 14:03the material for it. That's what most
- 14:04people skip. So,
- 14:06supporting normal bone remodeling is
- 14:08going to depend on these following
- 14:09nutrients. Vitamin K2, which you're
- 14:11going to be able to find in Gouda
- 14:13cheese,
- 14:14collagen supporting proteins, you're
- 14:16going to be able to find this in bone
- 14:18broth and salmon, healthy fats, which
- 14:20you're also going to be able to find in
- 14:22bone broth, and most importantly,
- 14:24salmon, and then trace minerals like
- 14:27vanadium, which you're going to find in
- 14:29black pepper.
- 14:31Why am I talking about vanadium? What do
- 14:33all of these do?
- 14:35All of these have a hugely important
- 14:37role for allowing bone remodeling to
- 14:40take place, all of them. So, let me
- 14:42teach you how. Vitamin K2 acts like a
- 14:45traffic signal operator. You know
- 14:47calcium is really important for your
- 14:49bone structure. Calcium is going to go
- 14:51to the wrong place without vitamin K2.
- 14:53That is the value of vitamin K2.
- 14:56Collagen. Collagen makes up so much of
- 14:59your bone because your bone requires the
- 15:02scaffolding that is collagen. That's how
- 15:04important it is. Healthy fats are what
- 15:07allow hormones to be synthesized in your
- 15:09body. Hormones are what signals your
- 15:11body to actually remodel. And the trace
- 15:14minerals, such as vanadium, this has
- 15:17been researched to allow bone remodeling
- 15:21to accelerate. Remember in the beginning
- 15:23we talked about these two cells in
- 15:25particular. We talked about
- 15:27right here, osteoblasts and osteoclasts.
- 15:31I'm going to find it this.
- 15:33Vanadium allows this to go up and allows
- 15:36this to go down. Can you imagine how
- 15:38effective that's going to be? How
- 15:39transformative that's going to be? Yeah,
- 15:41that is the value of it. So, I want you
- 15:44to understand that no one single habit
- 15:46is going to change your facial
- 15:47structure. It's the combination of
- 15:49dialing in with everything that
- 15:51everything's going to work. And if you
- 15:53want to learn everything in one place,
- 15:56all of the years of knowledge that I
- 15:58actually spent on this and that I've
- 15:59used to transform all of the people that
- 16:01you can see here,
- 16:03as well as all of my one-to-one clients
- 16:05that you can see here and you can see
- 16:06their ages,
- 16:07then I have made the latest system. It's
- 16:10my community that you can see right here
- 16:12where you have literally everything you
- 16:14need. You have
- 16:16an aura campus, you have a modeling
- 16:17lifestyle campus, you have all of the
- 16:19phases. But it's not just that. I've
- 16:21also made a website specifically for you
- 16:24to track all of the exercises that I
- 16:27teach you inside. It's everything that
- 16:29you need. So, if you want to take the
- 16:31next step, feel free to join. If not,
- 16:33well, I'll see you in the next video.
