[Bonus Episode] Can Latin Voices Redefine Wellness? | Yolanda Benet & Yelissette Aguirre · Age Defiantly with Mark Young

• 0:00
  All right, I'm Bienvenido, performance driven living.
• 0:08
  I am here with my friends, Yeli and Yolanda.
• 0:12
  And they are the founders of a new platform.
• 0:16
  Is that fair to say?
• 0:17
  It's a platform, a connection group for buyer hackers called ReconnectedBioHacking.
• 0:23
  And I want to learn a little bit more about this real quick.
• 0:25
  Yolanda, you were telling me about this before we started reporting here.
• 0:31
  And this is a platform for connecting people in the biohacking space, specifically.
• 0:37
  And the word biohacking, I know it gets so overused anymore.
• 0:40
  I say we're here at the Dave Aspery Biohacking Conference.
• 0:43
  So we kind of have to use it, right?
• 0:45
  But people are using the word longevity, wellness, performance,
• 0:50
  like all of that stuff is part of it.
• 0:52
  But it's a very, I would say, diffracted community.
• 0:59
  That there's pockets of this and pockets of that.
• 1:01
  And this is kind of misunderstood.
• 1:03
  But then there's this other piece of it that's misunderstood.
• 1:06
  And there's so much opportunity to bring all of that together somewhere.
• 1:11
  And you guys are doing that.
• 1:14
  So only what's going on.
• 1:16
  No, we have a television program that is reconnected with a wellness lifestyle show
• 1:25
  about all the different paths to get to your soul, to heal emotions, to speak in my language.
• 1:32
  To live in your full potential.
• 1:34
  I go like the guinea pig doing all the transformation on my own, like all the therapies.
• 1:41
  And then there was so much to do.
• 1:44
  I cover a biohacking event last September.
• 1:49
  And I go like, whoa, there was a huge boy in the Latin American market, huge.
• 1:55
  Like, no, there was no television there covering the event.
• 1:58
  And I go like, what is going on?
• 1:59
  We need to show all these devices, all these healing tools for everyone.
• 2:07
  We need to show it there.
• 2:09
  So I'm Italian talking to my hands.
• 2:13
  It's funny how do you keep, how do you keep a Latin down?
• 2:16
  You know, like, you put a microphone in the photo.
• 2:20
  I want to say something to that because your point there was that the Latin community
• 2:26
  is underrepresented in this biohacking longevity space.
• 2:31
  And what's so weird to me, I was up in Dallas at a conference month or two ago.
• 2:37
  And I interviewed a doctor who actually is African American and he's an MD, but he left
• 2:43
  the medical profession and now he works exclusively in longevity and biohacking type stuff.
• 2:49
  Because he believes that there's an underrepresentation of black community in this space.
• 2:55
  And it was funny because I was like, well, you know, talk to me about that.
• 2:57
  Like is that, is that something, because I'll be honest with you, like, you don't see
• 3:02
  a tremendous amount of minorities when you go to a conference like this?
• 3:06
  I mean, let's be honest with you, there's a bunch of white folks.
• 3:10
  And when I asked him, I'm just like, is it just because that that cultural group just
• 3:15
  doesn't resonate with this type of, with this type of stuff?
• 3:20
  And his answer to me, he was like the exact opposite.
• 3:24
  And he started quoting all this stuff to me and saying, minorities love healthcare that
• 3:31
  has nothing to do with the system.
• 3:33
  Yeah.
• 3:34
  He says, Latin, black, unit, he goes, they're all about modalities that are counter-cultural
• 3:43
  in that respect.
• 3:44
  And I was like, wow, like that's new information to me.
• 3:47
  And I said, unpack that for me.
• 3:49
  Like tell me what's going on there.
• 3:50
  And his answer was, because so many of the modalities and vitamins and food choices
• 3:57
  and all of this kind of stuff.
• 3:59
  And again, I've said this like a dozen times this week already, but all of the stuff that
• 4:03
  we think we've just discovered in science are echoes to ancient wisdom, that minority
• 4:10
  communities tend to listen to grandma when it comes to how they need to treat something,
• 4:16
  right?
• 4:17
  Grandma's got an answer.
• 4:18
  So when somebody comes along and says, oh, that's not true, you just need to eat more
• 4:21
  cabbage.
• 4:22
  They're like, oh, okay, let me eat cabbage.
• 4:24
  Because everything grandma's always said has worked.
• 4:27
  So they're looking for these types of alternative things.
• 4:29
  So I love the fact that, you know, he's trying to represent the black community.
• 4:33
  You're coming in and saying, look, we need to get a reconnect on in front of the Spanish
• 4:38
  community, right?
• 4:40
  In not only the Latin, like Spain, like Europe, there are so many Spanish-speaking people
• 4:47
  in the world that the problem is that these things weren't presented to the masses.
• 4:53
  It was like a minority of doctors and an elite group that had all these.
• 4:59
  For example, it's a small group compared to everything and now it's unstoppable.
• 5:07
  Now it's coming out everywhere and that's when I saw that, I filmed that and then I went
• 5:15
  to a television convention and they proposed to me when I presented the biohackers world,
• 5:22
  I don't know you have your own channel because I'm, I wouldn't know how to begin, but then
• 5:30
  I was immediately like drawn by it like so happy to think of our channel with positive
• 5:36
  news, with everything inspirational and touching hearts and showing that you have all these
• 5:45
  options to heal.
• 5:46
  I'm so glad.
• 5:47
  And then when I went, no, when I went to the first Maja event, I go like, my people, why?
• 5:55
  Why?
• 5:56
  I need to be not only in this to heal the world.
• 6:00
  That's why this log-on for for a reconnected biohackers TV is uniting biohackers to heal
• 6:07
  the world.
• 6:08
  You know?
• 6:09
  I love that.
• 6:10
  By all we heal in the world.
• 6:11
  Yeah.
• 6:12
  So a lot of us have been living this for many years and it is a very much a tight community.
• 6:18
  And I love to be able to bring people into this world.
• 6:21
  I've been attending, of course, the biohacking conference for many years, been living, you
• 6:25
  know, health and wellness since 2018 where I meditated my way out of my corporate career.
• 6:29
  But this is where it leads us down this path to be able to make these kind of connections.
• 6:33
  I knew the Latin American market needed to be able to connect and I didn't even have
• 6:37
  to seek it out.
• 6:38
  Here, this woman is coming to me and saying, you know, I really want to be able to connect
• 6:42
  with these people.
• 6:43
  What other conferences are there?
• 6:44
  What are the things?
• 6:45
  I'm like, well, let me, let me connect to you here.
• 6:47
  Let me do this.
• 6:48
  Let me.
• 6:49
  Let's put you together.
• 6:50
  That was awesome.
• 6:51
  I got you.
• 6:52
  I know some people.
• 6:53
  There was so much to do that I go like, jelly.
• 6:55
  I'm going to spend now to do like three programs over there.
• 6:59
  That was in April.
• 7:00
  Yeah.
• 7:01
  Why don't you cover everything?
• 7:03
  Everybody are hacking events.
• 7:04
  Like four events in April.
• 7:06
  They don't come around and between the two of us will be able to do this together and
• 7:12
  the platform.
• 7:13
  Let me ask you.
• 7:14
  So, tell me what the platform is.
• 7:16
  I mean, obviously, it's a TV show, of course, when they proposed to me in the television
• 7:23
  commercial show, yeah, expanded to this whole channel.
• 7:29
  So think of a whole station dedicated to them.
• 7:31
  Why don't you do your own channel?
• 7:34
  And I was okay.
• 7:36
  When I saw it, I said, yeah, amazing.
• 7:40
  This is bigger.
• 7:41
  I always felt that my mission was to do something to bring all these things to the world.
• 7:49
  I was like, great.
• 7:50
  Now, it's a bigger thing, a big picture to do it to masses.
• 7:57
  And I go, like, I'm going to set up a time and we're going to launch in May.
• 8:02
  You know, like, just to go for that goal.
• 8:05
  And then I am in another convention, and Tony Robbins is there launching his first
• 8:12
  channel, but with Paramount behind, he said, like, no, we're going to launch in June.
• 8:18
  And I go, oh, I think I'm going a little bit too far because it has all the material,
• 8:22
  all the back.
• 8:23
  You know, so I said, okay, we're launching September.
• 8:26
  And that's when we, after the don't die summit, is when I get that this was bigger, that
• 8:35
  we had to do that.
• 8:37
  So you're obviously launching a TV show, which will be, you know, international.
• 8:42
  Interesteka.
• 8:43
  Tevesteka.
• 8:44
  International.
• 8:45
  It's all over.
• 8:46
  So feel you can find it.
• 8:47
  And it'll also be on streaming channels like Roku and any of those.
• 8:52
  So people can watch it.
• 8:53
  You stream me.
• 8:54
  Oh, yeah.
• 8:55
  And now the platform is this, is this a way for people to connect with brands and modalities?
• 9:00
  It's going to be old.
• 9:02
  Education as well.
• 9:03
  Together.
• 9:04
  Yeah, we're going to have courses.
• 9:05
  We're going to have, like, I would love to have your podcast in the platform.
• 9:07
  I mean, it would be crazy.
• 9:08
  You know, you can be one of the legs for the platform, her, reconnect, I like to be face
• 9:13
  and stuff.
• 9:14
  Oh, yeah.
• 9:15
  Are you going to slag?
• 9:16
  You're going to.
• 9:17
  I'm going to really with the amazing.
• 9:19
  You have a lot of content and we can, and he has an amazing book.
• 9:23
  We can beat Tony Robbins.
• 9:24
  There you go.
• 9:25
  There you go.
• 9:26
  I don't know.
• 9:27
  I like Tony.
• 9:28
  Well, so the question that I have then is like, so are you guys looking?
• 9:30
  You've got so many connections.
• 9:31
  I know.
• 9:32
  And this is where.
• 9:33
  And we can clearly help you connect with with other industry leaders right now is being
• 9:40
  me being able to introduce Yolanda and what she's doing in the greater.
• 9:43
  I'm like, I feel like I've helped brands all this time and really helped to connect,
• 9:48
  you know, practitioners with the modalities and all that.
• 9:51
  But I really need more guidance to be able, like I know the industry and all that, but
• 9:56
  to be able to get this, we need the backers to be able to actually see this manifest.
• 10:01
  So we are, you know, creating at its best, right?
• 10:04
  I mean, it's amazing how everybody gets in.
• 10:07
  Right.
• 10:08
  They all want to be a part of it.
• 10:09
  Yeah.
• 10:10
  Here it is.
• 10:11
  I want to be a part of it.
• 10:12
  Yeah.
• 10:13
  I mean, I mean, like we'll show me how.
• 10:14
  We're a part of it.
• 10:15
  Exactly.
• 10:16
  We're at that right now.
• 10:17
  That's amazing.
• 10:18
  The part of it is to offer like a built up income.
• 10:21
  We are building it right now.
• 10:22
  We are filming and building and that's for the main thing.
• 10:25
  So I know.
• 10:26
  Yeah.
• 10:27
  To do the commentary of this time, live events and all that.
• 10:30
  Yeah.
• 10:31
  No, that makes complete sense.
• 10:32
  And I love that.
• 10:33
  And anybody, of course, I mean, you know, I'm knees deep in the stuff.
• 10:36
  Like maybe neck deep, that anything, anything that I can do to help you guys and support
• 10:41
  you.
• 10:42
  Whether that's channel basics or for that matter, introduce you to anybody in the space.
• 10:47
  Like, I mean, I think it'd be amazing because can we, can we speak also about a little
• 10:52
  bit out here?
• 10:53
  Oh, we don't need to do that.
• 10:54
  I love this time focused on you guys.
• 10:57
  But, but especially like we talk about Mahat and it's like and I'm knees deep in Mahat
• 11:01
  too.
• 11:02
  Like knowing everybody and doing all this kind of stuff, but the, but the Mahat movement
• 11:06
  about make America healthy again, I will say there's clearly a lot of work to be done
• 11:10
  here in the States that, that other can go into the world, well, true, but like other
• 11:15
  countries even have higher health standards than we do, right?
• 11:17
  Like it's ridiculous.
• 11:18
  So, we do need to make America healthy again, but America needs to lead this mission,
• 11:23
  not follow.
• 11:24
  Right.
• 11:25
  And that's my belief.
• 11:26
  Like America to have our true glory as a country needs to be leading the world in health
• 11:30
  care.
• 11:31
  And the innovation, the world looks at America and I'm like, and right now they look at
• 11:36
  America and they're like, aren't we don't need your advice on health care?
• 11:42
  Thank you.
• 11:43
  But the truth of the matter is, I believe that the innovation that takes place here and
• 11:47
  the, the education that can take place here, because the biohacking space has a lot to
• 11:53
  teach the world.
• 11:54
  And while America as a nation may be struggling with health, we're not like our community
• 12:01
  here in the longevity space, like we got it, like we know what we're doing, like the
• 12:05
  stuff that I'm able to talk about on a daily basis is people like, this community's got
• 12:09
  it going on.
• 12:10
  And I would love if this message is able to start permeating through the rest of the
• 12:15
  way.
• 12:16
  Because the truth matters is we do take our health and we take our longevity for granted.
• 12:22
  There are people.
• 12:23
  Responsibility.
• 12:24
  We're taking our own personal responsibility for it.
• 12:26
  Absolutely.
• 12:27
  But we, we tend to take a lot of things for granted that just people in the rest of
• 12:30
  the world don't necessarily have, like we have first world problems.
• 12:34
  Let's be real.
• 12:35
  I do dream of the time where nobody's going to be suffering with illnesses, with sickness
• 12:42
  and, you know, like a choice, it's going to have something available to, because people
• 12:48
  don't know.
• 12:49
  I interview a lot of people and I said, I didn't know that existed.
• 12:53
  If I had known, if somebody had shown me the way, I would have been here all there.
• 12:58
  Every single story.
• 12:59
  I mean, hotels, in hospitals, they should have all these hospitals are killing people,
• 13:05
  not helping.
• 13:06
  But it does, I go down there, I go down to that showroom floor down here on the big floor
• 13:09
  here.
• 13:10
  And it's like every single booth has the same story.
• 13:13
  That is, it's a pain to, pain to purpose story.
• 13:16
  I once had a problem with fill in the blank and no one in the medical community could
• 13:21
  seem to solve my problem.
• 13:22
  And here we go.
• 13:23
  So I discovered blank and it solved my problem and now I want to get this to the rest
• 13:26
  of the world.
• 13:27
  Like madlibs for the founders story, like I can write it once and just fill in the blanks.
• 13:33
  And I think that's amazing.
• 13:34
  So I connect to biohacking, how would anybody find you guys or get a hold of you and learn
• 13:39
  more about this platform?
• 13:40
  Is there a website that already exists?
• 13:42
  Yeah.
• 13:43
  And right now it's been built because it's been so fast that was, that was not long ago
• 13:47
  that they proposed to, to me, to start every, yeah, yeah, we, because we are, we are
• 13:53
  going to be like, through to be a stick is going to be in canela TV, in Rockwood,
• 13:59
  Pradillo, the website that's up, that's going to be up.
• 14:03
  So maybe let's just say the name of the website is going to be up and then that way people
• 14:07
  then will see.
• 14:08
  What's the time we release this?
• 14:09
  Exactly.
• 14:10
  But it will, it will be up.
• 14:11
  So it's, it's reconnect that media, reconnect that media, reconnect the English word, not
• 14:17
  reconnect.
• 14:18
  Yes, yes.
• 14:19
  Yes, yes.
• 14:20
  Because it was taken, it was taken the reconnect.
• 14:22
  Yeah.
• 14:23
  Connect.
• 14:24
  Connect.
• 14:25
  So these guys, I'm so glad they just, they haven't to stop by today and I'm like, this
• 14:28
  is too important of a message for us to ignore.
• 14:30
  Divine timing.
• 14:31
  So the website that you can take a look at is reconnect.media.
• 14:36
  Yeah.
• 14:37
  And that will actually be a place to find out more about what's going on here.
• 14:40
  But we're talking about a television show that can be broadcast via streaming services
• 14:44
  worldwide.
• 14:45
  Yes.
• 14:46
  A platform that is actually able to help not just brands, but also practitioners as well
• 14:51
  as just the average person who wants to find these types of modalities.
• 14:55
  So it, this is kind of like a Wikipedia for, for all of these things where I can go and
• 15:00
  find out, this is my problem and what are the solutions that are available for it?
• 15:04
  And yet people, people teach program.
• 15:07
  And education.
• 15:08
  Yeah, that's it.
• 15:09
  And programming obviously, but, but education also that if a person is saying, look, I
• 15:13
  need something to fix my general problem.
• 15:15
  Uh-huh.
• 15:16
  That's amazing.
• 15:17
  That's absolutely amazing.
• 15:18
  And so you're becoming like the YouTube of healthcare biohackers YouTube.
• 15:25
  Thank you, Yolanda and Yali, who are coming here from ReConnect, biohacking, it's weird
• 15:30
  language.
