How to Fight Aging and Menopause Symptoms with Personalized Care With Zack Varkaris · Age Defiantly with Mark Young

• 0:00
  Menopause happens in women, and no one says no but that's natural.
• 0:03
  That's bullshit.
• 0:04
  Your clinic is dealing with metapause and aging, females,
• 0:08
  and I want you to really give the audience some very specific things about this.
• 0:11
  The later a woman goes through menopause, the longer they generally tend to live.
• 0:16
  Why is it specifically that a woman should be looking for?
• 0:19
  Like before something happened, whether the few, the problem you've got to be really careful about.
• 0:24
  So we are here on the first episode of our rebranded podcast,
• 0:32
  Age Defiantly, formerly Performance Driven Living.
• 0:36
  And we're also in our new studio.
• 0:38
  If you notice things look different, this is home-based now, so we're excited about that.
• 0:42
  And I'm excited to have a guest with us today to talk about probably a topic
• 0:46
  that would be arguably pretty close to home for a lot of people.
• 0:51
  Probably not talked about much, to be honest with you,
• 0:53
  but for an aging community, a very important conversation for us to have.
• 0:57
  And I want to welcome Zach Vercarus, who's with me today,
• 1:01
  but wanted to have this conversation because you speak a lot about,
• 1:07
  I'll say, hormonal dysfunction as we age.
• 1:10
  And I intentionally use the word dysfunction, Zach, because I think,
• 1:15
  one of the subjects that I can't stand is when people talk about the phrase.
• 1:19
  I mean, anybody who listens to this podcast knows that there's three words I hate.
• 1:23
  And those are the three words at your age,
• 1:26
  because we have somehow as a society decided that decline is normal.
• 1:31
  And we've decided that there are points at life that degradation should just be normal
• 1:39
  and we should accept it.
• 1:40
  And my argument here on Age Defiantly, if that doesn't say enough,
• 1:45
  is that we don't need to accept that.
• 1:47
  That aging is, of course, chronological.
• 1:51
  And aging also has a physiological and biological component to it agreed.
• 1:57
  But the idea that we accept stuff way sooner than we absolutely should,
• 2:02
  that there is an opportunity for us to live abundantly way into our later life
• 2:09
  and not accept this rapid decline.
• 2:10
  I pulled some statistics while we were sitting here waiting.
• 2:13
  And this one, this actually makes me sad.
• 2:16
  So if this is anybody who's listening to this,
• 2:19
  only 70% of men remain sexually active in their 50s.
• 2:24
  30% of men aren't even sexually active after the Age of 50.
• 2:28
  Only 50 to 60% past 60.
• 2:32
  And only 30% of men are sexually active past 70.
• 2:37
  The mic, that's crazy to me.
• 2:39
  But it gets even weirder because for women, those numbers are even worse.
• 2:45
  That you're talking 60% of women are active sexually over 50, 40 to 50% over 60,
• 2:53
  and only 20-ish percent of women are sexually active over 70 years old.
• 2:57
  And a lot of that relates to levito, a lot of that relates to multiple other things.
• 3:01
  But you're the expert.
• 3:03
  You've recently written a book on longevity.
• 3:06
  You specialize in this type of hormonal and rejuvenation,
• 3:12
  I'll let you explain that to the audience.
• 3:14
  But talk to me about that because as we age, of course,
• 3:18
  that's something we take for granted when we're young.
• 3:20
  And then all of a sudden, it's not a problem until it's problem.
• 3:23
  Yeah, but very true.
• 3:24
  Okay, so first thing for your three words that you know at your age,
• 3:29
  my three words is I love Hakes'es.
• 3:31
  So it's okay.
• 3:32
  So, but basically the...
• 3:36
  Okay, thank you for that and very kind introduction.
• 3:39
  Yes, I've written a book and it's called The Three Laws of Longevity.
• 3:42
  And we can go into that later.
• 3:44
  But what we've done is as a group of people,
• 3:47
  we created come to your Austin biotech.
• 3:49
  And we looked at longevity.
• 3:51
  And like you say, we are victims of our own circumstance.
• 3:56
  We're told you must do this.
• 3:58
  This is what you must do as your act your age, behave this way.
• 4:02
  Even as a child, there's a very large tall child.
• 4:05
  So they'll say, I'd your age, Zachy, you know,
• 4:08
  when coming Zachy as I mean.
• 4:09
  And it was like I was so happy.
• 4:11
  And it would be like, but I am in many eight years old.
• 4:14
  It looked like I was 12, you know.
• 4:15
  So people make assumptions.
• 4:17
  And that's, you know, a viewpoint.
• 4:19
  And what we did is we looked at what causes what we felt was aging.
• 4:24
  Now, we have to look into things in context.
• 4:28
  Back in the day.
• 4:31
  Oh, a hundred years ago, even.
• 4:33
  The average lifespan was 65, 62.
• 4:37
  So you were basically done and dusted at 55, 6th dump.
• 4:42
  But also you didn't do as much education or as much,
• 4:46
  there wasn't as much to end many things to learn.
• 4:48
  Oh, no cell phones.
• 4:49
  There were no internet.
• 4:50
  There was no different types of things you had to learn,
• 4:53
  which you now have to learn.
• 4:54
  So it takes you longer to become an adult now.
• 4:57
  I mean, before you were having children at 16,
• 5:00
  a Kinsierra 15, if you were, you know, or, you know,
• 5:03
  those sort of coming of ages, now you're a child.
• 5:06
  So therefore, would it not stand to reason
• 5:08
  that you should therefore be adult longer as well?
• 5:12
  Well, that's not natural.
• 5:14
  I hear people say, well, that's not true.
• 5:16
  It's because what is natural?
• 5:18
  That's what we perceive it to be.
• 5:19
  So we looked at the bodily functions and what caused aging.
• 5:23
  And so not to try and live to 500.
• 5:26
  But just to sort of max out the 125.
• 5:29
  Just keep one to it.
• 5:30
  It's keep us simple.
• 5:30
  120 is hard to find.
• 5:31
  You're right.
• 5:32
  I think that's a very healthy age.
• 5:34
  It's a realistic number.
• 5:36
  It's not like flying to the moon and one
• 5:40
  leaping bound.
• 5:41
  It's realistic.
• 5:42
  It's achievable with what we have available to us today.
• 5:44
  I'm not saying it's easy, but it's achievable.
• 5:46
  I want to put a pin in that statement
• 5:48
  because I want to get back to so we go,
• 5:50
  oh, that, yeah, but go back.
• 5:52
  So so why don't we look at those?
• 5:54
  Okay, well, let's look at this logically.
• 5:56
  What happens?
• 5:56
  And so what happened was I was, you know,
• 5:58
  people asked me how I got into this.
• 6:00
  And to a question in the sense of,
• 6:02
  I was in my mid 40s.
• 6:04
  I was living, you know,
• 6:05
  the light was a beach,
• 6:07
  by my spiritual honor,
• 6:08
  the weather was surfing in the Philippines.
• 6:10
  I met my wife.
• 6:12
  She was 40.
• 6:14
  Bang, she has pregnant instantaneously.
• 6:16
  You know, of course.
• 6:18
  Like, oh, my God.
• 6:19
  You know, pregnant.
• 6:20
  And then someone said,
• 6:21
  well, that's unusual.
• 6:22
  You know, she's 40.
• 6:23
  And I, so what?
• 6:24
  What's the big deal?
• 6:25
  I'm worrying about this.
• 6:26
  And look 40.
• 6:27
  And Mr. Deliche, you look like,
• 6:28
  young girl, that's not the point.
• 6:29
  The part where she was.
• 6:31
  And then the doctor said,
• 6:31
  oh, you've got to check her for everythmic heartbeat.
• 6:33
  You've got to do this.
• 6:34
  You've got to do that.
• 6:35
  You've got to have, and I'm like,
• 6:36
  what are you guys talking about?
• 6:37
  You know, I have a background in myology.
• 6:39
  I'm like, you're nevering biologist.
• 6:41
  It's not like I didn't have the trainee.
• 6:43
  And we looked at it and we realized
• 6:44
  that a lot of people had problems.
• 6:46
  And it was about sexual function and reproduction.
• 6:50
  Now let's think about it.
• 6:51
  What makes you a man?
• 6:52
  Or what makes a woman a woman?
• 6:54
  It's basically the ability
• 6:56
  that you can then release or share your DNA
• 6:59
  to breed the next generation.
• 7:02
  So we looked at Dan and said,
• 7:03
  well, what is this issue?
• 7:05
  And, you know, suddenly we store that
• 7:09
  menopause happens in women.
• 7:11
  And then we say, so that's natural.
• 7:14
  More, really?
• 7:14
  And then we have another species that has menopause.
• 7:17
  Do you think has a bunch?
• 7:18
  They're curious to you.
• 7:18
  Would you have an idea?
• 7:20
  I don't.
• 7:20
  Would you say monkeys have menopause or pine?
• 7:23
  I'd say never would get the ton.
• 7:24
  I don't know the answer, right?
• 7:25
  I mean, I can look it up here.
• 7:26
  But sure, sure.
• 7:27
  But no, we just don't want you to think about it.
• 7:28
  So, sure.
• 7:29
  So fundamentally, the reality is
• 7:31
  there are only five species that have it.
• 7:32
  And the other four are all
• 7:34
  marine.
• 7:35
  They're whales, dolphins,
• 7:36
  killer whales,
• 7:37
  so on.
• 7:38
  So why don't apes have them?
• 7:40
  Why didn't gorillas or closest
• 7:41
  were related, you know, organisms have that?
• 7:44
  No one knows the answer.
• 7:45
  And let's go get into that.
• 7:46
  But the reality is
• 7:48
  often menopause women significant in the age
• 7:51
  and you gave me that stat
• 7:52
  about sexual function reproduction.
• 7:54
  That's directly linked to what we're talking about menopause.
• 7:56
  I had to apologize.
• 7:58
  I was not retinately linked.
• 7:58
  Not to say that.
• 8:00
  One of the things that, you know,
• 8:02
  and I'll say this is kind of crazy,
• 8:04
  because menopause,
• 8:06
  and I'm just, this is opinion only,
• 8:07
  that I'm speaking science at this point,
• 8:09
  this is opinion only,
• 8:10
  and that is as a man,
• 8:12
  I'm 50 years old,
• 8:14
  and testosterone is just the conversation
• 8:17
  amongst my friends.
• 8:18
  Like at what age do you get on testosterone?
• 8:20
  And I'm a big fan,
• 8:22
  partially just because I'm a muscle fan
• 8:24
  of keeping muscle mass,
• 8:27
  which longevity, muscle mass,
• 8:29
  so on, so forth all connected.
• 8:32
  But women don't.
• 8:33
  And there's been such this,
• 8:36
  I mean, menopause,
• 8:37
  you just kind of accept it.
• 8:38
  This is what happens.
• 8:39
  And then the goal is to get through it
• 8:41
  as quickly as possible
• 8:42
  with as little symptoms as possible.
• 8:44
  But I don't hear a lot of conversation.
• 8:46
  Maybe it is because I'm a man,
• 8:48
  but I don't hear a lot of conversation
• 8:50
  for women about how to prolong their,
• 8:52
  menstrual cycle,
• 8:53
  their menstrual cycle,
• 8:55
  and how to increase unless,
• 8:57
  because I do have a lot of friends
• 8:59
  who are in their, you know,
• 9:00
  30s and fours, you know,
• 9:02
  who still want to have children
• 9:04
  and never did,
• 9:05
  except 30, what is the age?
• 9:07
  35 is the cutoff,
• 9:09
  where we start calling a geriatric pregnancy.
• 9:11
  Yes, 35, 34, 35,
• 9:13
  which is frankly,
• 9:14
  pardon my friend,
• 9:16
  but I mean, 35, 35 years old,
• 9:18
  and we're calling a woman,
• 9:19
  I had a friend of mine,
• 9:20
  she got pregnant at 35, 36 years old,
• 9:23
  and like just went into a panic
• 9:26
  about this geriatric pregnancy.
• 9:29
  And then what am I going to do?
• 9:30
  Because it wasn't a planned pregnancy.
• 9:32
  And it was like, she had children before.
• 9:34
  She hadn't, right?
• 9:35
  That's what I'm saying,
• 9:36
  but the mother of my daughter,
• 9:37
  my wife, she,
• 9:37
  she'd never had children,
• 9:38
  she'd never even got pregnant before.
• 9:40
  Yeah, and then all of a sudden,
• 9:40
  just like that.
• 9:41
  And that was the,
• 9:42
  it's pointy if you had children as a young age
• 9:44
  and have them again,
• 9:46
  especially with the same partner,
• 9:47
  but to never have had children,
• 9:49
  and that to have it over the age of 34,
• 9:50
  things find,
• 9:51
  it's very interesting.
• 9:52
  Now, this is what I'm trying to say.
• 9:54
  These are things that we assume
• 9:56
  that nature is the most important,
• 9:58
  you know, is natural.
• 10:00
  The nature is the best compromise.
• 10:01
  If you're the last man standing
• 10:03
  after a cataclysmic event,
• 10:05
  you're the winner.
• 10:06
  Doesn't matter whether you're the strongest
• 10:07
  or the fastest or as mild,
• 10:09
  you just want because you survive.
• 10:11
  And that survival is survival of the fittest.
• 10:14
  There's all these phrases we hear about.
• 10:16
  So that's what it is.
• 10:17
  The answer thing with, with, with menopause,
• 10:19
  is that we assume this is natural.
• 10:21
  Now, what's interesting
• 10:23
  is the later a woman goes through menopause,
• 10:26
  the longer they generally tend to live.
• 10:29
  There's a very interesting substance
• 10:31
  that's statistic with this.
• 10:32
  And I can give you,
• 10:33
  let me just make sure I understood that correctly.
• 10:36
  The later a woman goes into menopause,
• 10:39
  the longer she will generally,
• 10:41
  but what is generally,
• 10:42
  but what definitely is very correlating,
• 10:46
  if she has children later in life,
• 10:50
  she will live longer.
• 10:53
  Now, I've got theories on that,
• 10:54
  but are not biological.
• 10:55
  But yeah, there might be a reason
• 10:56
  that the socioeconomic is the number of other reason,
• 10:58
  but that, which I agree with.
• 11:00
  So you've got to be very careful with stats.
• 11:01
  And by the way, menopause do seem to,
• 11:03
  but one thing she's stopping with men,
• 11:05
  menopause.
• 11:06
  It's nothing to do with that.
• 11:07
  It's to do with mencise,
• 11:08
  or the blessing word from month,
• 11:09
  pausing the monthly cycle.
• 11:11
  That's what menopause me.
• 11:12
  Yes, literally,
• 11:13
  yes, 12 months without menstruation.
• 11:14
  Yes, exactly right.
• 11:15
  That means your menopause,
• 11:17
  but before that,
• 11:18
  your perimenopause.
• 11:18
  Exactly.
• 11:20
  Wheat.
• 11:20
  So that's what it means.
• 11:21
  It's not time to do it, men.
• 11:22
  Every year, it's just a fire.
• 11:24
  So the thing is, we looked at this,
• 11:26
  and we'll wait a minute,
• 11:28
  because you're there for losing your fertility ability,
• 11:33
  the body says,
• 11:34
  well, you're not really needed,
• 11:35
  you don't need bone density,
• 11:37
  you don't need skinny elasticity,
• 11:39
  you don't need muscle mass,
• 11:42
  you don't need the hydration for the brain fog.
• 11:44
  So there's a whole thing your body starts to literally age
• 11:48
  at a rapid rate, the more rapid rate.
• 11:50
  I want to stop there for a quick second,
• 11:53
  because I want you to really get the audience
• 11:55
  some very specific things about this better.
• 11:58
  You said something,
• 11:59
  I'm a big fan of signaling,
• 12:01
  and that there's almost quantum experience
• 12:03
  that we create.
• 12:05
  It's this idea of psychonural immunology even.
• 12:08
  Yeah, that's my book, P&I.
• 12:10
  Yeah, and the P&I stance
• 12:12
  about how when a person believes something,
• 12:15
  physiologically your body reacts.
• 12:17
  This idea that your cells are age dropping
• 12:19
  and everything that's taking place in your body.
• 12:21
  And you said something there that makes me think about that,
• 12:23
  and that is this idea that once you hit a certain age
• 12:27
  and things physiologically may happen,
• 12:29
  we tend to put down the resistance towards aging,
• 12:32
  and then there's all this idea
• 12:34
  that I've heard so many statistics about,
• 12:36
  once a person hits 40 or hits 45,
• 12:38
  or whatever the number is,
• 12:39
  that whoever wants to put a tag on,
• 12:41
  like everything just starts falling apart.
• 12:43
  And then the problem is,
• 12:44
  is you told me at 40,
• 12:46
  everything I hit, I turned 50 last year,
• 12:49
  like six months ago,
• 12:50
  and I ended up having a couple injuries,
• 12:52
  I got sick right after I turned 50,
• 12:53
  like these things happen.
• 12:55
  And it was funny,
• 12:56
  because like several people said to me,
• 12:58
  you know what, that's what happens.
• 12:59
  And I'm like,
• 13:00
  I call bullshit on that.
• 13:01
  Bullshit, that is bullshit.
• 13:03
  Like, are you sure?
• 13:04
  Well, you turn 50,
• 13:05
  everything changes, and am I not?
• 13:06
  I call bullshit on that.
• 13:08
  Because me turning 50,
• 13:10
  I'm like, okay,
• 13:11
  I accept that I work harder now.
• 13:14
  I accept that I'm going to, you know,
• 13:17
  staying in physical condition
• 13:18
  is going to require for apps
• 13:19
  a little bit more intricacies
• 13:22
  than it did at 25.
• 13:23
  I accept that.
• 13:25
  That's very true.
• 13:26
  But what was your lifestyle, like a 25,
• 13:29
  to what you are?
• 13:30
  Now you run a company,
• 13:31
  you have responsibilities.
• 13:33
  Do you have those responsibilities at 25?
• 13:35
  Actually, yes,
• 13:36
  but different at the same time,
• 13:39
  I would say at 50 years old
• 13:40
  and probably healthier
• 13:41
  than I've ever been in my life,
• 13:43
  only because now I do have
• 13:45
  a very clear workout regimen.
• 13:46
  Now I do actually understand,
• 13:49
  like at 25 years old,
• 13:50
  I did know a fraction of the things
• 13:52
  that I know about.
• 13:53
  At 25, longevity was not a priority
• 13:55
  because I was never going to die.
• 13:57
  At 50,
• 13:58
  I'm thinking about longevity a lot.
• 14:00
  I understand the science
• 14:02
  of longevity at this point
• 14:05
  that I didn't that stressors,
• 14:07
  I understand that stressors can change.
• 14:09
  But I actually did all of business
• 14:10
  at 25 years old,
• 14:11
  aside from school and all the other things.
• 14:14
  It's a different type of shit-ass in life,
• 14:16
  so I wasn't a goofy college kid.
• 14:18
  Okay, okay, so I'll give you my time a bit older.
• 14:21
  I'm nearly 55.
• 14:22
  Right?
• 14:22
  So I'm five years older,
• 14:24
  four years older.
• 14:26
  So, although I'm in a longevity,
• 14:28
  so I should rather have time
• 14:29
  in my six decade.
• 14:30
  You know what I'd say?
• 14:32
  The rounded up.
• 14:32
  When I turned 40,
• 14:34
  I kept telling everybody,
• 14:35
  I can't believe a third of my life is a...
• 14:36
  Yeah, yeah, it's either way.
• 14:38
  People would think.
• 14:39
  Yeah, everybody was soppin' napkin' it.
• 14:40
  But yeah, exactly.
• 14:41
  Yeah, no, I'm closer to social security
• 14:44
  than I am younger than I should ever be.
• 14:47
  So, I also have another child
• 14:49
  who's season 26.
• 14:51
  So, I almost got groundhog day.
• 14:53
  I've got another daughter,
• 14:55
  I'm re-doing my life
• 14:56
  and there's interesting pictures I have,
• 14:58
  weird random of me playing the piano
• 15:00
  with both of my daughters,
• 15:02
  and I'm wearing the same t-shirt
• 15:04
  in both photographs,
• 15:06
  16 years apart, right?
• 15:08
  And there's another one
• 15:08
  where they're doing practicing on the pads.
• 15:10
  It was purely by accident.
• 15:12
  And they're both,
• 15:13
  they're both sort of similar coloring
• 15:16
  and blondly blue-eyed,
• 15:17
  but they're not,
• 15:18
  they're like, they're not,
• 15:19
  they're both exactly the same,
• 15:20
  but they're similar people, in that sense.
• 15:23
  And they're doing exactly the same actions.
• 15:24
  And I'm doing, I'm holding the pads
• 15:26
  and purely by chance,
• 15:28
  I didn't plan it,
• 15:29
  but, you know,
• 15:30
  literally a generation apart,
• 15:32
  certainly in the democratic uptowns,
• 15:33
  I'm holding the same pads,
• 15:34
  and you see me looking at these pictures
• 15:36
  and I don't really look that different, really.
• 15:39
  And I have the same energy I had back then,
• 15:42
  but the difference I have is experience.
• 15:44
  And the reason I say that
• 15:45
  is that yes, you have better recovery at 25,
• 15:49
  but also you have ignorance and ignorance is bliss, right?
• 15:53
  So you don't know any better.
• 15:54
  Well, I'll say this,
• 15:56
  Zach, and it is,
• 15:57
  I believe that we're used to,
• 15:59
  like, you know, when I have a new car,
• 16:00
  I don't expect to have problems with it, right?
• 16:03
  Like there's a warranty that comes along with that ignorance.
• 16:05
  And the warranty on the cars,
• 16:07
  because they just don't expect much to go wrong
• 16:09
  with some Amit's new.
• 16:10
  Over the course of 50 years,
• 16:11
  I've collected some injuries
• 16:13
  that are not natural phenomenon, right?
• 16:15
  They're injuries,
• 16:16
  there I heard something, I fell, I did whatever.
• 16:19
  Those types of things are gonna happen over 50 years,
• 16:21
  and they do lead to degradation, totally get it.
• 16:24
  But when it comes to something like,
• 16:27
  I didn't have an injury that lowered testosterone belt.
• 16:30
  Women are not having injuries
• 16:32
  that are pushing them into menopause, right?
• 16:33
  Like this is just part of the size you're not true.
• 16:35
  Well, perhaps our injuries that can,
• 16:37
  but I want to get into as we age, what is it?
• 16:41
  I want you to give me some specifics here for the listeners.
• 16:44
  Like, what is it specifically
• 16:46
  that a woman should be looking for?
• 16:48
  Like what are the things?
• 16:49
  Like before something happens,
• 16:51
  there's always something signals, right?
• 16:52
  But Sigzler, they're taking place doing it.
• 16:55
  Like what is it?
• 16:57
  Whether the few, one of the many ones is sleep, hydration.
• 17:01
  So sleeping well through the night,
• 17:03
  hydration, like, you know,
• 17:05
  the feeling of being dehydrated, you know,
• 17:09
  whether it's just in all over your feeling dry,
• 17:12
  and like a brain fog,
• 17:13
  and it depends,
• 17:14
  because obviously women act differently depending.
• 17:16
  Not all men act the same way,
• 17:18
  and they'll be certain tell these are set,
• 17:19
  yeah, I'll sign, hydration,
• 17:22
  issues with focusing eyesight, muscle mass,
• 17:25
  but you'll feel it.
• 17:26
  So it's not like,
• 17:27
  and these are our premenopausal,
• 17:29
  whether it's a perimenopausal,
• 17:30
  so you can get these sort of things that happen,
• 17:33
  and the little size,
• 17:34
  the problem you've got to be really careful about
• 17:36
  is freaking out about it, and over and over.
• 17:38
  Oh my God, what am I going to do?
• 17:40
  This is going to, you know, you've got to be really careful.
• 17:42
  So what we recommend is, you literally take a full test,
• 17:46
  we do it with a full analysis, for instance,
• 17:48
  and we do your gut biome, we do your DNA,
• 17:51
  we do your brain scan, we do a,
• 17:53
  but a density,
• 17:55
  and we do what we call the emotional,
• 17:57
  the fringe span of test,
• 17:58
  which is our second law,
• 18:00
  a hubel longevity,
• 18:01
  and we blend them together,
• 18:03
  and we give you a baseline,
• 18:04
  and gives you that baseline.
• 18:05
  Ideally, you should do that in,
• 18:08
  if you can do it in your 20s, great,
• 18:09
  during your 30s, you know, it doesn't matter,
• 18:11
  because you'd stop growing a 35,
• 18:12
  stop growing a 25,
• 18:14
  your stasis stuff 35,
• 18:15
  and after 35, you begin to die steadily and otherwise,
• 18:18
  although it's variable.
• 18:20
  So, so basically,
• 18:22
  you should do a test to have a baseline
• 18:24
  to know where you stand.
• 18:25
  So it's a bit like,
• 18:26
  when someone says to you,
• 18:28
  you're three words at your age,
• 18:30
  I'll do a test, say, for instance,
• 18:32
  or woman does a test,
• 18:33
  oh, how well can I do this?
• 18:35
  Oh, for your age, you're really good.
• 18:37
  That's bullshit.
• 18:39
  Because it's not for your age,
• 18:41
  it's relative to what you wear in a different age,
• 18:43
  it's for yourself internally.
• 18:45
  You've got to know your own past or baseline, you know?
• 18:49
  So you might be able to jump higher than I can,
• 18:51
  I might be able to run faster than you can.
• 18:53
  So if we compare each other,
• 18:54
  jumping and running,
• 18:55
  well, you're a better jumper than me.
• 18:57
  So you're better for your age.
• 18:59
  That's not what it's about.
• 19:00
  It's about how, that's the important thing.
• 19:02
  And so therefore,
• 19:03
  the earlier you can baseline who you are,
• 19:06
  the better it is.
• 19:07
  But so ideally, you want to look for these signs,
• 19:10
  but those are the signs.
• 19:12
  Sleep, hydration, brain fog, tiredness,
• 19:17
  like so not just steeply through the night,
• 19:18
  but blacking your energy,
• 19:21
  blacking focus,
• 19:22
  deciding, oh, you know what?
• 19:24
  And also there was being grumpy,
• 19:26
  libidos and other one, of course.
• 19:28
  But they're all connected.
• 19:30
  And the problem with this is you've got to have the baseline
• 19:33
  to work out their connectivity.
• 19:35
  You can do measurements,
• 19:36
  but you're measuring and doing a measurement in isolation
• 19:39
  doesn't make sense,
• 19:40
  just measuring your mitochondrial wall.
• 19:41
  So what?
• 19:42
  What does that mean?
• 19:43
  So you've got to look at those things.
• 19:45
  The other thing is also your lifestyle.
• 19:48
  You've got to then decide,
• 19:49
  well, what does my lifestyle like?
• 19:50
  What am I doing in this?
• 19:52
  In a, when you're 45,
• 19:54
  you might have a high stress job.
• 19:55
  We had one of our people come to us
• 19:59
  and has a very high stress job and has gone into any menopause.
• 20:03
  Now she's come back into menstrual cycle again
• 20:07
  without any of our stem cell procedures
• 20:10
  just by changing her mindset, her diet.
• 20:14
  What are the things that I'm curious about?
• 20:16
  So for men,
• 20:18
  but let's just talk men real quick.
• 20:19
  And I know we're talking about women's health here,
• 20:21
  but we're too men having this conversation.
• 20:24
  Or I wish it's not there.
• 20:25
  I like women for sure.
• 20:26
  Same, but the point is is that I do understand
• 20:29
  that too a lot of women's listening to men talk
• 20:31
  about sexual health of women is obviously,
• 20:34
  you know, there's kind of a yet good luck
• 20:36
  having that conversation.
• 20:37
  Yeah.
• 20:38
  So who do you publish in this?
• 20:40
  He's a friend and his partner,
• 20:43
  she's a vaginal surgeon that kind of makes me laugh
• 20:45
  because Shari has a book and they laugh about the book
• 20:48
  because the book, and on this cover, it says,
• 20:51
  and you know, a complete list of everything a man knows
• 20:53
  about the vagina.
• 20:54
  And you know, you open the book.
• 20:56
  I'm not, but that literally in entire page
• 20:57
  or is it a book of blank page affected?
• 20:59
  Yeah, that's kind of funny.
• 21:01
  So that's not lost, Joe, if you're watching.
• 21:03
  Yeah, that's funny.
• 21:04
  That's right.
• 21:06
  So that's not lost on me, but I want to give the example.
• 21:09
  So for men, when it relates to testosterone,
• 21:11
  so something that we can relate to,
• 21:13
  and that is testosterone levels may increase,
• 21:15
  but free testosterone is a very different conversation
• 21:19
  that a lot of people don't pay attention to.
• 21:21
  And as we age, pardon the phrase,
• 21:24
  there is the SHBG, and that is the sexual hormone binding
• 21:30
  a lot of it, that ends up eating free testosterone.
• 21:35
  So our testosterone gets created, but then SHBG goes
• 21:38
  and eats that, and you ask testosterone.
• 21:41
  So while your production levels are high,
• 21:44
  your SHBG is so high that a lot of men end up
• 21:47
  with very little testosterone for that reason, right?
• 21:50
  So that's something that can very specifically be measured,
• 21:53
  though, we can measure as to that.
• 21:55
  How much SHBG you actually have, is it your body, will you?
• 21:58
  Right.
• 21:59
  And based on that, you're able to measure
• 22:01
  how much free testosterone a man has,
• 22:04
  and then do one of two things.
• 22:06
  Either you try to find a way to get rid of the SHBG
• 22:09
  in this history before you just overproduce
• 22:11
  a testosterone, but what, ideally, buzzes, right?
• 22:14
  And sometimes it's a matter of like,
• 22:15
  just push your testosterone production up to a 1,400
• 22:18
  and you're never gonna know the difference in women.
• 22:20
  What is the, what is the correlation to that exact thing?
• 22:24
  Because for men, there's this women that I go as 50 years old
• 22:29
  and not having any children myself.
• 22:31
  You know, I'll get female friends that are like,
• 22:32
  yeah, but you can have kids as long as you want.
• 22:34
  Like true, yes, I understand that.
• 22:37
  But for women, what is the comparison,
• 22:41
  exploring that sign right there?
• 22:43
  So first thing about Joe Polish and his vaginal surgeon,
• 22:45
  like it's a brilliant open book.
• 22:48
  I thought I understood about women until I started this thing
• 22:51
  and I realized I know nothing about women.
• 22:53
  They care, that's what I realized, full disclosure.
• 22:55
  That being said, the vagina isn't everything about a woman,
• 22:59
  right?
• 23:00
  Just a lot of other systems that we have are the similar, right?
• 23:02
  So in other words, in that area,
• 23:04
  the big area with women is about a very reproductive organ.
• 23:08
  It's not the vagina itself, but the ovaries.
• 23:11
  These are uterus, the, with men,
• 23:13
  it's the testes, the prostate.
• 23:15
  We have areas that produce these hormones
• 23:18
  and or other parts that are connected
• 23:21
  to the rest of the, what we call the endocrine system.
• 23:24
  So with women, it's about follicles within the ovaries
• 23:28
  that produce levels of estrogen
• 23:31
  as well as testosterone and progesterone, right?
• 23:33
  And also the adrenal glands, which we both have.
• 23:36
  So it's about the 60, 40 split
• 23:38
  with reproductive organs, uterus, ovaries
• 23:41
  and 40% adrenal glands.
• 23:44
  So what happens is when you go through menopause,
• 23:46
  that 60% is taken off the table, right?
• 23:49
  Straight away.
• 23:50
  So what you want to look for is you look for the,
• 23:53
  FSA to the follicle simulating hormone.
• 23:57
  As it goes up, it means your follicles are going down.
• 24:00
  So therefore you're, there's a sign that the estrogen
• 24:04
  is not being produced as well.
• 24:06
  Now, of course there's, there was what,
• 24:08
  what about this type of estrogen?
• 24:09
  It causes cancer.
• 24:10
  Well, there's different types of estrogen,
• 24:12
  there's estrogen, there's estrogen.
• 24:13
  E1, E2, E3, let's keep it very simple.
• 24:15
  E2 is the good one, right?
• 24:17
  Right, and then they have different views on different uses.
• 24:20
  So what we do is we see, and it's the one time,
• 24:25
  the only time women are less complicated than men.
• 24:30
  It's the one sign, right?
• 24:31
  With a form, we're going to get in here.
• 24:32
  We've got way more moving parts of them.
• 24:34
  Every woman listening to this is going to be like,
• 24:36
  yeah, okay, whatever, buddy.
• 24:37
  Yeah, okay, if the ones are playing that, yeah.
• 24:40
  So it means because everything that we do as men
• 24:44
  is concentrated, a lot of it's contributing to testes.
• 24:47
  And this is not my extra there,
• 24:49
  or this small panel, Zawas is an expert area,
• 24:51
  is another person we work with,
• 24:52
  but what I've seen is that everything is much more fluid
• 24:57
  because we produce sperm in a mutton fluid way with just women.
• 25:02
  It's broken out into the ovaries,
• 25:05
  and although they say you're given the set number of eggs,
• 25:08
  it's sort of not 100% true,
• 25:11
  but this keep it simple it is.
• 25:13
  So it's already, it's more spread out,
• 25:15
  so it's easier for us to find those places.
• 25:18
  So we can promote the ovaries,
• 25:20
  we can get the follicles back,
• 25:23
  which will then knock into the improvement of estrogen.
• 25:27
  So what we've had is, we've had a situation where,
• 25:31
  we've had women go through a procedure,
• 25:33
  and they have had a 38% increase in estrogen,
• 25:37
  indulges from their own eggs, from their own body,
• 25:40
  38% increase.
• 25:42
  In some cases, it may specification as much as 60%.
• 25:46
  That's huge.
• 25:47
  So it increase in estrogen production,
• 25:49
  explain this to me.
• 25:51
  So an increase in estrogen production I get.
• 25:54
  The menstruation, of course, is an egg.
• 25:58
  It's basically the estrogen you glen in the uterus was coming out.
• 26:02
  Yeah, yeah.
• 26:03
  But if you've got the limited number of eggs,
• 26:06
  you've got more than you'll ever use in your life.
• 26:08
  But break that down for me,
• 26:10
  because you're saying that a woman doesn't run out of eggs,
• 26:14
  she just stops menstruating.
• 26:16
  If you're saying that women will die with eggs still in their system,
• 26:20
  if interesting, because that's contrary to what I've ever been taught.
• 26:24
  But there's a limited number of eggs,
• 26:26
  and it's like, you run out.
• 26:28
  Well, you don't run out.
• 26:29
  You just stop that they're sitting in the ovaries,
• 26:31
  and they sit there.
• 26:31
  There's a study done where you can use Wharton's Jelly,
• 26:35
  and you can actually get a Metsuskin,
• 26:37
  or some form of stem cell that's not good into the technicalities.
• 26:41
  And it could differentiate or become an over an egg.
• 26:44
  So we could technically regrow eggs,
• 26:46
  or we can make skin cells into eggs.
• 26:47
  We can do that, right?
• 26:49
  So the body has, what I'm saying is the body has inside of it,
• 26:53
  the signaling systems, right?
• 26:56
  To actually keep you living a lot longer.
• 26:59
  And I think again, we've got to be careful not just to focus on hormones,
• 27:03
  and focus just on testosterone or estrogen,
• 27:06
  and that, because that is one aspect.
• 27:09
  But you're using your car analogy.
• 27:11
  That's just, I don't know, that's just the engine.
• 27:13
  It's not the brake, it's not the suspension.
• 27:16
  It's not the chassis.
• 27:18
  It's just one bit of the pistons, just say, right?
• 27:22
  So there's a lot more to it than that.
• 27:24
  But fundamentally, it's a really good signal, right?
• 27:27
  It's a really good signal and it helps you work out
• 27:29
  where those issues can be.
• 27:31
  So based on formal panels, right?
• 27:34
  Okay, so you're getting labs done,
• 27:36
  a woman wants to know where she is in this process,
• 27:38
  just as Amanda's, and I get my labs done every six months.
• 27:42
  And every six months, I just do full panels,
• 27:45
  including everything from mineral, heavy metal levels.
• 27:50
  Yes, you, you know, to hormone panels
• 27:54
  to just see where things are.
• 27:55
  So from an endocrine dysfunction standpoint,
• 27:58
  I know where I stand at all times,
• 28:00
  and then I know what behavioral things to change about that.
• 28:03
  Is there anything other than that that you recommend?
• 28:07
  Well, it is hormone panels enough.
• 28:08
  I mean, that's the question, no, it's not.
• 28:10
  But the thing is also there's a fine line.
• 28:12
  If you want to be really excessive
• 28:14
  and just have all these consequences like a lab rat,
• 28:16
  you've got to have a trade-offs, right?
• 28:18
  But what we do is when we do the full tests,
• 28:20
  we do bone density, we do brain scans,
• 28:25
  cat scans, not MRIs, cat scans are quick ones, right?
• 28:28
  And we know how to read those to show you
• 28:31
  why your neurons are fun,
• 28:33
  because when you go through menopause,
• 28:34
  your neurons function in a way.
• 28:36
  By the way, we have andropause.
• 28:37
  We see we're invincible,
• 28:38
  but we fell off a clip of a radio team with that.
• 28:41
  We just dig my inventory.
• 28:42
  Yeah, man, I could do that.
• 28:43
  That is like an other prairie.
• 28:45
  Yeah.
• 28:46
  We do gut biome, that's huge, massive.
• 28:49
  Yes.
• 28:49
  And people don't realize that you're some of your hormones
• 28:52
  or some of the things like serotonin,
• 28:54
  see, two percent of serotonin is produced by bacteria.
• 28:57
  Not, it's not even your body.
• 28:59
  It's a host in your body, correct, right?
• 29:01
  So, wait a minute.
• 29:02
  Oh, well, if you get the wrong,
• 29:03
  if you get a C-bow, you know,
• 29:04
  C-bow is excessive, sorry, excessive bacterial.
• 29:08
  It's C for excessive fungal stuff.
• 29:10
  That comes up into your wrong part of your alimentary connect.
• 29:13
  You've got 32 feet
• 29:14
  with something around the inventory canal
• 29:15
  from your throat to your anus,
• 29:18
  something that's crazy amount.
• 29:20
  And in each part of it,
• 29:22
  there's different bacteria that live there.
• 29:24
  And they go to the wrong area,
• 29:25
  you can hide your lane,
• 29:27
  and then everything goes wrong.
• 29:28
  Well, that's bacterial.
• 29:30
  And you've got to measuring that regularly,
• 29:32
  really regular, more than people realize.
• 29:34
  But I would have commented on that
• 29:36
  and say this because this absolutely infuriates me
• 29:40
  about the medical community.
• 29:41
  I'm thrilled that pedicillin exists.
• 29:45
  I'm very happy that we have antibiotics.
• 29:49
  I'm furious at how much we pass them around.
• 29:52
  Yes.
• 29:53
  Like, it is like every single person in town,
• 29:57
  you know, my aunt, I love her dearly,
• 29:59
  but it doesn't matter what's wrong,
• 30:01
  her recommendation to ever you need
• 30:03
  to go get an antibiotic for that.
• 30:05
  And I'm not making that as an indictment on her.
• 30:07
  I'm saying is that's clearly
• 30:09
  she's a product of what she believes
• 30:11
  and what she's been taught over the course of her life.
• 30:14
  Yes.
• 30:14
  Like, she gets a sinus infection
• 30:16
  and immediately wants an antibiotic.
• 30:17
  Who am I?
• 30:18
  But that's probably not a bacteria infection.
• 30:21
  Like a sinus infection is typically viral,
• 30:23
  but an antibiotic's doing nothing for you.
• 30:25
  I'll be the secondary infection.
• 30:26
  That's what we're going to avoid
• 30:28
  because that's how they go around it.
• 30:29
  But the problem is is all you're doing
• 30:30
  is just setting up nuclear bombs in your gut all the time.
• 30:33
  And now you're six months trying to rebuild a microbiome
• 30:36
  if you're doing it intentionally.
• 30:39
  So this is a very valid point.
• 30:41
  So this is the thing is I,
• 30:43
  so we look a gut biome
• 30:44
  and then the other thing we obviously do
• 30:46
  is the basic hormone positive.
• 30:48
  The other thing we do is emotional health.
• 30:51
  So we call it the phoenix banditae.
• 30:52
  So you do like, it's qualitative.
• 30:55
  How do you feel?
• 30:56
  How the things work out?
• 30:57
  You know, it's all so full.
• 30:59
  So my wife passed away.
• 31:02
  And so in that point my hair fell out
• 31:05
  and I actually just only,
• 31:07
  what started to fall out, I actually grew it long.
• 31:09
  I actually cut it about two days ago.
• 31:11
  Literally I had the long,
• 31:12
  down the middle of my throat
• 31:13
  and I was cutting like that.
• 31:15
  And I just did it after two years.
• 31:16
  I decided that was it, two and a half years.
• 31:18
  So why did I have a physical reaction
• 31:24
  to an emotional response to a traumatic effect?
• 31:27
  It was what, how are we going to explain to my,
• 31:29
  you know, there was a sudden unexpected,
• 31:31
  it was so on, so well,
• 31:32
  that it was also the fact is that, you know,
• 31:35
  we had a child.
• 31:36
  I don't explain to our daughter, you know.
• 31:38
  You know, logically thinking is that
• 31:42
  how do you deal with that?
• 31:43
  So I had a physical reaction to emotional response.
• 31:47
  That's the thing that as humans,
• 31:49
  we ignore at our peril.
• 31:51
  Yes.
• 31:52
  We are not machines, we're not terminators,
• 31:54
  we humans, and that's how it is.
• 31:56
  And you have to accept that,
• 31:58
  all go and download yourself onto the grid
• 32:00
  or something, you know what I mean?
• 32:01
  Because this is what you are.
• 32:04
  And so these are measurements that you have to look at.
• 32:06
  And those are the markers.
• 32:08
  And it can be, it doesn't have to be super crazy.
• 32:11
  But just during your blood panels,
• 32:12
  your hormone panels in isolation
• 32:14
  is not good enough in my opinion.
• 32:16
  Now, bone density doesn't have to be done every six,
• 32:19
  once you can do it every year.
• 32:20
  And if you have naturally good bones, it's okay, right?
• 32:23
  So you've done your bones,
• 32:24
  you've got good bone density, fine, you know.
• 32:27
  I want to go back to the psychological side of things
• 32:29
  that you're talking about.
• 32:30
  Again, a lot of this gets back to that PNI,
• 32:32
  that's psycho neural, let me know what you could have
• 32:33
  flee, should I not be?
• 32:35
  The Freudian, I was really curious.
• 32:36
  Interestingly enough, and I love this.
• 32:39
  It's, every conversation I have, you don't know me,
• 32:42
  but every conversation I had always has to get
• 32:44
  into all sides of things.
• 32:46
  Like we are a physical, we are a psychological,
• 32:49
  and we are a spiritual being.
• 32:51
  And all three of those things lie in intersection.
• 32:54
  And the, the, so I thought a little,
• 32:57
  but the acts of isolation, that Venn diagram,
• 33:00
  where, where we live in the center of all of those things.
• 33:03
  And yet we create sciences that touch one
• 33:06
  or the other eye load, and they're whatever
• 33:08
  you design, shall meet, right?
• 33:10
  Yes, and if, and we create doctors
• 33:13
  who only understand for physiological,
• 33:14
  and we create psychologists who only deal
• 33:16
  with the emotional, and we have theologians
• 33:18
  who deal with the spiritual, and yet quite often,
• 33:21
  and again, you don't know this about me,
• 33:23
  but yes, I have a master's degree in theology,
• 33:25
  I have a master's degree in clinical psychology,
• 33:26
  I have a PhD in functional medicine.
• 33:29
  But, and I laughingly say, who cares?
• 33:31
  Because the reality is, is like, all of it
• 33:34
  exists and harmonizes, and when it's in disharmonies,
• 33:37
  when we end up with so much dysfunction,
• 33:39
  and the dysfunction can manifest physiologically,
• 33:43
  and the dysfunction can manifest psychologically,
• 33:45
  and the dysfunction can manifest spiritually.
• 33:48
  Like, all of this happens, usually all of it,
• 33:52
  and yet we treat it in isolation.
• 33:55
  And treating it in isolation doesn't resolve
• 33:59
  the conflict that's taking place holistically, yes.
• 34:02
  When you talk about this stuff,
• 34:04
  and I love the fact that you're saying
• 34:05
  your clinic is dealing with metapause,
• 34:07
  and you're dealing with aging females
• 34:10
  and ignoring some of this,
• 34:11
  and I think any woman listening to this conversation,
• 34:14
  there needs to be, when a woman's going to metapause
• 34:16
  and having metaposal symptoms, you know,
• 34:18
  being discarded as having just a physiological experience,
• 34:22
  will probably get you murdered,
• 34:24
  and the reality is, is like, it's a very emotional thing.
• 34:27
  It's a, you've mentioned earlier,
• 34:29
  I said I was gonna put a pin in something,
• 34:31
  and I'm gonna go back to that point.
• 34:33
  The point was that when women have children later in life,
• 34:36
  they tend to live longer.
• 34:38
  And what's interesting is, because my,
• 34:40
  well, sure, that doesn't surprise me,
• 34:41
  and I would love for you to unpack that physiologically,
• 34:45
  but emotionally and psychologically, it tells me
• 34:48
  that this woman realizes that she has a reason
• 34:51
  to be a reality in the world, very great,
• 34:53
  because there is a child that's rely as per,
• 34:57
  through the child's developmental period,
• 35:00
  and that woman can't slow down.
• 35:03
  A 40-year-old woman who has a child
• 35:05
  is an active parrot through 60.
• 35:09
  Yep, you know, I'm my grandmother,
• 35:11
  I say I'm the third grandchild
• 35:13
  to my grandmother's third child,
• 35:15
  and she was 40 when I was born, right?
• 35:18
  Because my family reproduces in the teenage years,
• 35:21
  and what's so funny to me, though,
• 35:24
  is that my grandmother at 40 was old.
• 35:29
  So it was essentially said,
• 35:30
  so my grandmother, I have her first child,
• 35:33
  when she was 44.
• 35:34
  So my grandmother was born in the 1800s,
• 35:37
  when now in 2026, right?
• 35:39
  And she had one child, one child,
• 35:42
  and grew up to be a healthy child, I mean, he was fine.
• 35:45
  So it was interesting, and she lived a very long time,
• 35:49
  but all of my grandfather's died
• 35:53
  of a freak case in pneumonia, weirdly enough, at 49,
• 35:57
  which is interesting, I woke up,
• 35:58
  put a pin on that one, I'll come back from that one.
• 36:00
  But the thing is, is that fundamentally,
• 36:03
  when you look at this,
• 36:05
  to the purpose is very key,
• 36:06
  if you look at the blue zones,
• 36:08
  you don't think, which we can discuss,
• 36:10
  whether we believe in all or not,
• 36:11
  but having family or from the blue zone,
• 36:13
  being able to agree,
• 36:13
  I could sort of talk with a bit of authority or something like that,
• 36:16
  but fundamentally, they all have same things,
• 36:18
  they have regular moderate exercise,
• 36:21
  a plant-based style of diet, or a varies,
• 36:25
  and this is very important, the varies,
• 36:26
  is there's not one size fits all,
• 36:28
  it's a few sizes fits nearly everywhere,
• 36:31
  but with the one thing they all have in common,
• 36:34
  purpose, or they believe social structure,
• 36:37
  and they believe it's something greater than themselves.
• 36:39
  Yeah, community, yeah, that's it,
• 36:41
  and they all have community,
• 36:42
  and that's some quote point,
• 36:43
  there's community, they do, they all have community,
• 36:45
  and there was this critical size.
• 36:46
  So when we talk about menopause,
• 36:49
  and the reason we chose that was purely from a sort of practical standpoint,
• 36:53
  it was like, what's the one who has to choose one shot
• 36:56
  that could make the biggest difference?
• 36:59
  It's that one, and that's why we don't work with men as much,
• 37:02
  because it's not so clear-cut with us.
• 37:04
  That's why I'm saying,
• 37:05
  it's the one time we're more complicated.
• 37:07
  You know, that's what I mean by that.
• 37:08
  So fundamentally, when you look at that, you go,
• 37:11
  okay, you have this area where it's this community,
• 37:14
  but it will slightly different,
• 37:16
  and so everyone has different reactions to different types of ways.
• 37:20
  So you have a different blood type,
• 37:21
  you have a different dietary requirements.
• 37:23
  So among say the Greek long libers,
• 37:25
  they have loads of sugar, loads more meat, right?
• 37:29
  The Costa Ricans have any smoked cigarettes.
• 37:31
  You know, so there's all these different dynamics.
• 37:33
  So they're not saying they're all chain-smoking,
• 37:36
  oh, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude,
• 37:38
  it's like culture, all the cultural childhood,
• 37:40
  they're teenagers, they're berry.
• 37:41
  So we all have these things that work for us,
• 37:43
  don't work for us.
• 37:44
  When we look at how people have come to us in our procedure,
• 37:47
  you know, we all thought, like with our ignorance
• 37:50
  at the time, five years, six years ago,
• 37:53
  that it was all physiological.
• 37:54
  Now what we've discussed with is,
• 37:56
  there's a lot of people come to us who have emotional trauma
• 37:59
  that manifests itself physiologically,
• 38:01
  and you can't just change that
• 38:03
  by doing an obstetroid shot or whatever,
• 38:05
  it doesn't matter, or taking a supplement,
• 38:07
  you've got to unwind what's in here,
• 38:08
  or what's in here, and that takes time.
• 38:11
  That's not a stem cell procedure.
• 38:13
  That is understanding your dynamic, your framework,
• 38:18
  and then from a position of strength and knowledge,
• 38:22
  you can then change the things that need to be changed for you,
• 38:25
  and not everyone's the same.
• 38:26
  You're a nice similar age group,
• 38:27
  you're a nice similarly fit, right?
• 38:29
  But what are different weaknesses in our chain?
• 38:32
  Well, you mentioned a great point there,
• 38:35
  and that is the emotional matching the physiological,
• 38:38
  you know, I'll touch on Vegas nerve stimulation, right?
• 38:41
  Like, this is all in my book, actually.
• 38:44
  I think the last idea of the mate is nerve,
• 38:46
  which some people may or may not understand
• 38:48
  is the master channel, if you will,
• 38:51
  that runs through all the way from the top to the bottom,
• 38:55
  and is the primary system for the gut's communication
• 38:58
  between the gut and the brain even,
• 39:00
  we talked about that earlier,
• 39:02
  but this idea of it, by a maxes,
• 39:04
  our bodies stay in sympathetic nervous system response,
• 39:09
  and when in that sympathetic,
• 39:11
  that fight or flight,
• 39:12
  that do or die high stress type environment,
• 39:16
  it's not just a psychological reaction,
• 39:19
  like people who live in the state of anxiety,
• 39:21
  I have a cousin who is just in constant,
• 39:25
  constant sympathetic nervous system,
• 39:27
  like a mild, free, mild female.
• 39:28
  I will, a 45.
• 39:31
  She's been there a long time, but yes,
• 39:33
  but she is already going to paramanopaus and so on and so forth.
• 39:37
  But I mean, she can hear a car door close outside
• 39:40
  and practically jumps off the couch.
• 39:42
  This is absolutely something we've dealt with already.
• 39:44
  Now, when you think of,
• 39:46
  and I'm saying, we know the answer to your cousin,
• 39:48
  I'm saying this kind of thing,
• 39:49
  where they're in fight or flight,
• 39:51
  and then one says,
• 39:52
  it's because I'm stressed,
• 39:54
  what actually,
• 39:55
  or is it your stress because you or what you're doing
• 39:59
  in your life or what you,
• 40:00
  and so let me give you an example.
• 40:03
  We all drink, I mean, I don't really drink,
• 40:05
  I don't drink soda, actually,
• 40:06
  but we give kid,
• 40:07
  oh, just give them an apple juice, right?
• 40:10
  Now, I call sugar, KC,
• 40:13
  kitty cocaine,
• 40:14
  that's what I call it, right?
• 40:15
  You literally proper it.
• 40:17
  Run around and you see the,
• 40:18
  ooh, and then they crash, right?
• 40:20
  So the problem with sugar,
• 40:22
  so we don't, I'm like,
• 40:24
  I'll cut my alcohol,
• 40:24
  but juice is sugar,
• 40:25
  but I'm like alcohol or drugs.
• 40:27
  It's actually what our body runs on,
• 40:29
  glucose, it's what it brought,
• 40:30
  ATP, ATP, blah, blah, blah, blah,
• 40:32
  so we're designed to run on this.
• 40:36
  It's natural,
• 40:38
  but we're not designed to have refined sugar all the time.
• 40:42
  Well, we're not designed and refined sugar at all.
• 40:43
  So, yeah, okay, but you know what I mean?
• 40:46
  I understand, you know what you say, yes.
• 40:47
  So, you know, it's a treat.
• 40:49
  Now, in the wild, refined sugar was a fruit, right?
• 40:53
  But a fruit now is healthy, regular food.
• 40:56
  We just have scoops of sugar and,
• 40:58
  I mean, sodas or whatever.
• 40:59
  In bread, you buy bread,
• 41:01
  and again, where you can get into the whole, you know,
• 41:04
  sedentary lifestyle and, you know, having bread,
• 41:07
  but just forget about that.
• 41:08
  But fundamentally, we have all these things
• 41:10
  that we have in life that are hidden pitfalls of despair
• 41:15
  for one of our better term, hidden pits of despair.
• 41:17
  And it drives your body into this massive,
• 41:20
  high and low, high and low,
• 41:22
  and then it starts to affect your brain chemistry.
• 41:25
  So for instance, when I went,
• 41:28
  we went to Europe last year,
• 41:31
  obviously to Greece, to see the family,
• 41:33
  and obviously we've had so much things going on,
• 41:36
  and we spend a lot of time,
• 41:37
  and we hadn't been to Greece for a long time.
• 41:39
  And the first thing that happened when I went to Crete
• 41:41
  in the wilds, yoga, everything like really natural,
• 41:45
  you know, in every sea of people,
• 41:46
  look, I went into a different depression, literally.
• 41:50
  Oh, this is what I said.
• 41:52
  Massive despondency.
• 41:54
  I mean, almost suicidal, you know,
• 41:56
  I'm, you know, I knew what it was,
• 41:58
  but I couldn't believe how strong it was.
• 42:01
  And I didn't realize I hadn't been home for nine years,
• 42:04
  and so it was a long time.
• 42:06
  And I was detoxed detoxed, yeah, exactly.
• 42:09
  And in my daughter was loving this detoxed,
• 42:12
  here in America, no,
• 42:14
  and I got the bit I'm healthy, you know,
• 42:16
  now of course you can get a healthy lifestyle in America,
• 42:18
  but not if you travel,
• 42:20
  and if you go out and do yes,
• 42:22
  and you have to work at it,
• 42:23
  you go down those basic,
• 42:24
  you know, those gas stations
• 42:26
  and you have anything on those gas stations,
• 42:28
  you were blowing apart.
• 42:30
  Also, I did that this morning,
• 42:31
  like I stopped in a,
• 42:33
  stopped at a gas station
• 42:34
  and my way to the studio this morning
• 42:37
  and grabbed a protein.
• 42:38
  I was, I know better than that.
• 42:40
  I know.
• 42:41
  But it was, it was what I had time right for.
• 42:44
  Now, this is the thing.
• 42:45
  This is what we do.
• 42:46
  So we say to you, you know better,
• 42:49
  but you need someone to be on your shoulder,
• 42:51
  you know, you know,
• 42:51
  you're talking about history of it,
• 42:53
  you know, when a Roman general had a triumph, right?
• 42:56
  That's in your map of Rome over there.
• 42:57
  And they would have a slave behind him
• 42:59
  on the camera saying, you are a morcle,
• 43:01
  you are a morcle.
• 43:02
  As they were being applauded, like,
• 43:03
  way, Julius Caesar,
• 43:05
  and they're telling you,
• 43:07
  this is someone on your back of your shoulders
• 43:09
  to keep you in place.
• 43:11
  And I think we need training.
• 43:12
  We need to have a coach to always guide us
• 43:14
  because we do have a sense of,
• 43:17
  are basically deluding ourselves.
• 43:19
  And that's fundamentally,
• 43:20
  so when you look at that,
• 43:22
  those areas of the P and I,
• 43:24
  and you got Biomax,
• 43:25
  it's the bag,
• 43:26
  they're all connected,
• 43:27
  but you can't,
• 43:28
  you still have to put the right inputs
• 43:30
  or the right,
• 43:31
  what was the way to use Danish,
• 43:33
  giving yourself a structure?
• 43:34
  Well, we call it disciple,
• 43:36
  yeah, scheduling,
• 43:37
  giving yourself time to be disciplined.
• 43:40
  So let me ask you, Zach,
• 43:42
  I love the conversation,
• 43:43
  the idea I wanna just close the loop
• 43:46
  on that nervous system,
• 43:47
  the conversation.
• 43:49
  And that is we have a tendency to,
• 43:50
  people live in this sympathetic nervous system
• 43:53
  and don't realize
• 43:55
  that the emotional side that that creates
• 43:58
  and then it's kind of like a chicken early egg though
• 44:01
  because did the nervous system create
• 44:03
  the emotional dysfunction
• 44:04
  or did the emotional dysfunction
• 44:06
  cause the nervous system reaction,
• 44:08
  arguably both earned,
• 44:10
  but I don't think it's binary yet.
• 44:11
  I think it's real.
• 44:12
  It's both.
• 44:13
  Does it mean we don't need to interrupt it?
• 44:15
  Yeah.
• 44:15
  Because we need to interrupt that flow,
• 44:17
  but I don't think enough people realize
• 44:20
  how, you know,
• 44:21
  it's kind of the, you know,
• 44:23
  a laughingly say,
• 44:24
  although it's not a laughing matter,
• 44:25
  you know,
• 44:26
  the men who will struggle with a retrial dysfunction
• 44:28
  or whatever you've got.
• 44:29
  It's just a hard day at work, right?
• 44:31
  You know, ha ha ha.
• 44:32
  It's like, well, no,
• 44:33
  but literally that's a thing.
• 44:34
  Like you just did for a minute.
• 44:36
  Right.
• 44:37
  It's a thing though.
• 44:38
  It's this idea that when we get stuck in this nervous system,
• 44:42
  it's a survival mechanism for the body that says,
• 44:45
  anything that is non-essential
• 44:48
  to absolute survival turn off, yeah.
• 44:51
  Which includes sexual function,
• 44:53
  which includes digestive function,
• 44:55
  which includes emotional, yes, function.
• 44:58
  It actually every part of the brain
• 45:00
  that doesn't require attention, right?
• 45:03
  Starts getting shut down,
• 45:04
  which leads to brain fog.
• 45:06
  But why are you in a heightened state
• 45:08
  but experiencing brain fog?
• 45:09
  Well, because the central processing isn't required,
• 45:13
  the only thing that's required for survival
• 45:15
  is very acute attention,
• 45:17
  which is why when the car door slams,
• 45:18
  I hear it, I respond,
• 45:21
  but I didn't notice that, you know,
• 45:23
  I just misplaced $1,200 out of the cheque to count, right?
• 45:25
  Like that kind of stuff passes by
• 45:28
  and doesn't pay attention
• 45:29
  because we are in this heightened state
• 45:31
  and it's your body's survival mode,
• 45:34
  but we're not programmed to live there.
• 45:36
  Exactly right.
• 45:37
  That's great.
• 45:38
  I mean, I'm really glad to send you introduced us.
• 45:41
  You know, so shout out to Sandy Martin
• 45:43
  on this one.
• 45:44
  Shout out to C.A.
• 45:45
  I said, we're going to get a camera.
• 45:46
  We're going to get a good camera.
• 45:46
  Yeah, I just send him out to buy a hacker expert.
• 45:49
  There you go.
• 45:50
  The problem is we have societies is
• 45:52
  because we have this,
• 45:54
  an emergency sort of morality issues,
• 45:56
  we all about making money and an experience.
• 45:59
  So we promote division,
• 46:01
  we promote the height of fight or flight
• 46:04
  because by default,
• 46:05
  we are designed to react to existential threats
• 46:09
  more readily than threats that are the positive things
• 46:12
  because obviously,
• 46:13
  positivity is less about survival
• 46:15
  or more about growth
• 46:17
  and existential threats is about survival.
• 46:18
  So we're programmed to be in that fight or flight.
• 46:20
  So society has gone into this weird dynamic
• 46:24
  of, you know, we create division,
• 46:26
  we have soundbikes, we scroll through,
• 46:28
  I mean, I, you know,
• 46:29
  we're going to ask me for my social media
• 46:31
  and I don't really,
• 46:33
  I mean, my social media is rubbish.
• 46:34
  I have to do it, follow it, really.
• 46:36
  I have it, but I, you know,
• 46:37
  I don't really do any well and care
• 46:39
  because it's not, it's soundbikes.
• 46:42
  It's not about the, not all of it,
• 46:44
  but it's all dope.
• 46:45
  It means it all does be hits, right?
• 46:46
  So, so the fact is I'm going to come in person to see you
• 46:49
  is because you get a lot more from all the un,
• 46:52
  it's sort of those quiet signals that are not obvious.
• 46:54
  So the fact is we're programming our people,
• 46:57
  our children, adults to be in this constant fight or flight.
• 47:02
  That has an effect on the body
• 47:04
  and you have to unwind these things.
• 47:05
  You talk about emotions.
• 47:07
  We talk about where you have negative emotions
• 47:09
  so you have to get yourself to zero.
• 47:11
  So everyone just says,
• 47:12
  if psychology is all about getting in,
• 47:14
  Professor Goliath talks about this part of our team,
• 47:17
  which is where you have this sense
• 47:19
  that you hit zero and you're fine.
• 47:21
  But actually you've got to go to positive manifestation
• 47:25
  to offset the two to get yourself back in the middle again.
• 47:28
  And that's really important.
• 47:30
  And this is what we called the second law.
• 47:32
  The effects emotions have on aging
• 47:34
  because the stress that you put on your body
• 47:37
  excessively will age you
• 47:40
  because it will burn out your systems
• 47:42
  and for what reason?
• 47:43
  What was Goliath Facebook
• 47:45
  or the Instagram and Cishite Facebook?
• 47:48
  You know, I would call it, you know,
• 47:49
  or TikTok or whatever you want to call it,
• 47:51
  you know, it all of those things.
• 47:53
  They're all the same.
• 47:54
  Well, and unfortunately, I will say that,
• 47:57
  you know, probably somewhat existentially.
• 47:59
  I'll say we're teaching a younger generation
• 48:01
  and it's that dopamine mission.
• 48:03
  Yes, take a world that here.
• 48:05
  These hits have value and a goal.
• 48:07
  They don't have value.
• 48:08
  There's no value to it or that.
• 48:10
  And then a real dopamine hit no longer feels
• 48:14
  like something that's good enough, right?
• 48:16
  This idea, like I'll give an example,
• 48:18
  that the best way to experience dopamine, right, it's you.
• 48:23
  Literally stop and just think of things
• 48:24
  and you're like that you're grateful for.
• 48:26
  You will get the same dopamine hit.
• 48:28
  And yet we've actually, I would say we live
• 48:30
  in the most ungrateful generation
• 48:33
  that I can imagine.
• 48:35
  And part of it is because we're getting
• 48:38
  those dopamine hits someplace else
• 48:40
  and we're not requiring having to work for the many more.
• 48:43
  Yes, so that's very true.
• 48:45
  But the other point is with gratitude,
• 48:47
  this is the prime example, when you say,
• 48:50
  oh, I'm grateful and let's do five number stays
• 48:53
  or 10 hell marries or whatever it is,
• 48:55
  you're not really raising why you're doing it.
• 48:58
  For why are you, what are you grateful for?
• 49:00
  So someone says to me, you know, you're 54,
• 49:04
  how are you doing as a single dad?
• 49:06
  And yeah, how are you doing this?
• 49:07
  I'm like, well, I have my health, I have my family,
• 49:11
  I have friends, I have purpose.
• 49:14
  The fuck else is there in life, really?
• 49:16
  I mean, really?
• 49:17
  I'm gonna go to the beach and do this or do that.
• 49:20
  Yes, I could have more money.
• 49:22
  Yes, I occasionally have to worry about things.
• 49:24
  Yes, there's, you know, what am I gonna do here?
• 49:26
  But these are, that's life.
• 49:28
  You've got to get used to saving in choppy waters.
• 49:30
  What the sea is not always calm, right?
• 49:33
  And so that makes you healthy, right?
• 49:36
  But the question is, if you get it too easily
• 49:38
  and you have to work at it and don't work at it,
• 49:40
  your body had defaults it into this lazy pattern.
• 49:44
  That's the key.
• 49:44
  I'm a big fan of you, I do hard things.
• 49:46
  Yeah, I mean, you're gonna be a bit smart.
• 49:48
  Don't, I mean, don't do crazy things
• 49:51
  where you're busting yourself up,
• 49:52
  but you've got to take the harder route.
• 49:54
  Don't take the end of it, walk out the stairs.
• 49:56
  Well, but it's psychological resilience.
• 49:58
  Yeah.
• 49:59
  And resilience, I would argue, boy, say,
• 50:01
  is in multiple different levels the key to longevity?
• 50:04
  Yes.
• 50:05
  That is, it's not about an extreme high or an extreme low.
• 50:09
  It's the ability to navigate between the two
• 50:12
  and it's HRV, truthfully, right?
• 50:15
  It's not about how high can you go.
• 50:17
  It's not about how low are you.
• 50:19
  It's how quickly long you move between those.
• 50:21
  We have a vagal tone.
• 50:23
  It's all of these different things
• 50:25
  are all rooted on this exact same premise
• 50:27
  of being able to regulate.
• 50:29
  We have a, we have a phrase,
• 50:30
  when does adapt and loses make excuses?
• 50:33
  So it's like, you're adapt, you got to adapt.
• 50:35
  And it might, you might not want to adapt
• 50:37
  and you might not like having to adapt,
• 50:39
  but you have to adapt if you want to survive
• 50:41
  and that will allow you,
• 50:42
  and then it gives you perspective.
• 50:45
  So if you've had everything and then you have nothing,
• 50:48
  it gives you perspective to realize what it feels like.
• 50:51
  And I think that is something that we,
• 50:53
  we don't get necessarily instructs our next generation
• 50:58
  that no, you achieve, you want to achieve everything,
• 51:01
  but okay, well, why then work for what, for what?
• 51:04
  Dan Sullivan always uses the phrase, he's adapted it,
• 51:08
  and he always says there's only two teams.
• 51:09
  There's the winners and the learners.
• 51:11
  But I hadn't, the winners and the learners,
• 51:13
  and he's like, well, there could be a third team,
• 51:15
  but those are the losers.
• 51:17
  Yeah, because the losers were neither the winners
• 51:19
  nor the learners, right?
• 51:21
  He said, but I've only ever been on one of two teams.
• 51:23
  Right, the winner or the learner?
• 51:24
  This is a pin.
• 51:25
  I'm gonna come back on this pin, which is interesting.
• 51:27
  So after every great victory is the most dangerous time,
• 51:32
  like because at that moment of victory,
• 51:35
  the thing that you bounced against has gone away.
• 51:37
  And that's when you get hubris or whatever it is, right?
• 51:41
  And we can go on to historical reproductions.
• 51:43
  I was 49 years old.
• 51:45
  I had gone through a big moment of, you know,
• 51:49
  some things that happened in my life.
• 51:51
  And I'd had a very big victory,
• 51:53
  or what they were about the time.
• 51:54
  And in that moment of that victory,
• 51:56
  I thought, okay, now I'm gonna get back to where I was
• 52:00
  and getting myself, I was still fifth and everything,
• 52:02
  but I'm gonna live this, I'd all planned
• 52:04
  how I was gonna live my life.
• 52:05
  And at that moment, I hit my toe,
• 52:07
  and I sort of, it swelled up, and I couldn't exercise,
• 52:11
  but I was just on that cast of what I call sort of staying fit,
• 52:15
  but I wasn't, and my body just overloaded.
• 52:18
  And then, fast forward four months, I had COVID very badly.
• 52:24
  It was the third time I got COVID, actually,
• 52:25
  the first thing nothing happened.
• 52:27
  And I was going in to see this cyanide,
• 52:31
  Monday morning, after being awake for 10 days,
• 52:34
  coughing up blood, blood was over.
• 52:36
  Going in, thinking, you know,
• 52:38
  my grandfather, who I named after, Zach,
• 52:42
  died at Freak case in Nuri, 49,
• 52:44
  49 years old as well,
• 52:45
  eldest, oldest, birthday, August, tonight,
• 52:47
  you're going into a bad day.
• 52:48
  And I'm like, am I dying today?
• 52:51
  I'm like, fuck that.
• 52:54
  I'm not dying, right?
• 52:55
  I'm not doing that.
• 52:57
  But fundamentally, you're programming yourself,
• 53:00
  like you've got to be careful at those moments
• 53:02
  of why am I not, what have I got to live for?
• 53:05
  And I knew, and also I was a scientist,
• 53:07
  so I knew the physiology issues.
• 53:10
  So I did panic, which in a sense,
• 53:13
  you can talk to fellow friends of mine
• 53:14
  who are doctors or scientists
• 53:16
  who have gone through similar things I went through.
• 53:19
  And I remember afterwards,
• 53:20
  I went through it all and I went,
• 53:22
  my blood oxygenation was really low.
• 53:24
  He came back up to, and I said,
• 53:26
  when I was in the recovery and becoming,
• 53:28
  and I held this guy's hand, it was 35, right?
• 53:32
  Super fit, super healthy and yielded,
• 53:34
  really died in my head,
• 53:35
  not quite, I'm in the gown too,
• 53:37
  because the family went out and I don't know
• 53:39
  for sure if he died,
• 53:40
  but I wouldn't be surprised if he did,
• 53:42
  you know, the old people came in,
• 53:44
  and I was like, you know,
• 53:46
  tell me about your children, tell me, you know,
• 53:49
  but you can't tell what was getting on the side
• 53:51
  that man's mind, so that's the thing.
• 53:54
  And so what I'm saying is that pin is like,
• 53:57
  and everything to myself,
• 53:58
  I was high going to go like my grandfather, no way.
• 54:02
  Now I don't know why I never met him,
• 54:03
  so I don't know what course I know that
• 54:04
  if we ever knew him, so he was incredible.
• 54:07
  But I never met it.
• 54:08
  Yeah, I mean, so people die.
• 54:10
  You're not to diminish that,
• 54:12
  but I'll give the example and I'll say,
• 54:13
  my grandmother, my mom's mom died at 52.
• 54:16
  So sudden heart attack, yes.
• 54:18
  Don't know exactly what caused all of that,
• 54:22
  but the point of that is at 52 years old,
• 54:26
  my mother believed that her time was up any moment, yes.
• 54:31
  Like at the age of 52, my mother lived,
• 54:34
  she lived until she was 62,
• 54:35
  but for those 10 years,
• 54:39
  her entire mindset was she was on borrowed time.
• 54:42
  Now, my opinion, I don't know about your mother,
• 54:44
  but I bet you that might affect the longevity.
• 54:47
  And the thing is, you can take two ways for it, right?
• 54:50
  So with my other grandfather,
• 54:52
  who was the inspiration for my art,
• 54:54
  well, one of the main inspirations
• 54:55
  for doing what I do today,
• 54:57
  he died of freak,
• 54:59
  a pulmonary embolism,
• 55:00
  a freak of free stroke in his mid 70s,
• 55:03
  and he looks so young.
• 55:05
  His two brothers, once they're alive,
• 55:06
  and he's over a hundred.
• 55:08
  And the reality is that I saw that as I saw why he died.
• 55:13
  He died of a broken heart, fundamentally.
• 55:17
  And I saw that.
• 55:18
  So I took it as a strength,
• 55:20
  rather than, oh, it's my part,
• 55:22
  but we have the luxury of PhDs and masters,
• 55:25
  and you have the luxury of knowledge
• 55:27
  that you can now apply,
• 55:29
  and it's our duty to pass that on to other people.
• 55:33
  And that's my intention.
• 55:34
  My entire goal,
• 55:36
  even in hosting a podcast,
• 55:38
  is it's tossing on that,
• 55:38
  how do we get that information to people?
• 55:40
  How do we get people who may not know this stuff
• 55:44
  to really understand that?
• 55:46
  There's more to it than what we believe,
• 55:48
  because I genuinely believe in some respects
• 55:50
  that I took the red pill somewhere along the lines,
• 55:54
  and don't longer live in the matrix.
• 55:56
  And I think the last couple of years
• 55:58
  with Bobby Kennedy and everything else,
• 56:00
  like there's been so much of weight,
• 56:02
  the fruit pyramids upside down,
• 56:03
  and seed oils are killing people.
• 56:05
  And I mean, I think the whole world now
• 56:07
  is seen a lot of the stuff
• 56:09
  that maybe some of us have been looking at for years,
• 56:13
  and suddenly going, wait, what?
• 56:14
  Thanks, what, what, what?
• 56:17
  So I'm grateful for that.
• 56:18
  I'm incredibly grateful for what he's doing
• 56:20
  for other people in our community,
• 56:21
  and what they're doing.
• 56:22
  But it's one of those things that I think too often,
• 56:25
  people rely on a person,
• 56:26
  or two people with a small group of people.
• 56:28
  No, we all should be taught.
• 56:29
  Yes, yeah, we should.
• 56:30
  Except we all should.
• 56:31
  So I think it's very bad to point you rolled up there.
• 56:33
  So, you know, I can say,
• 56:34
  well, you know, I'm really,
• 56:36
  I'm really smiley,
• 56:37
  I did all of this, that bullshit.
• 56:39
  I was, had the luxury of being given a Greek diet
• 56:43
  as a basic foundation for my comfort food.
• 56:45
  So when my comfort food is not of me pie,
• 56:48
  it's black eyed peas and, and color green.
• 56:51
  Or, look,
• 56:52
  while Ramadhi Ghanlakan is, we'd say,
• 56:53
  but it's the equivalent of all of one and lemon.
• 56:56
  Oh, wow, a lemon and antidepressant,
• 56:58
  all of all, really good off you.
• 56:59
  You know, so might default or be true
• 57:02
  to whatever it is, very good for me.
• 57:04
  I didn't choose that.
• 57:05
  I was trained as a young kid.
• 57:07
  So that was, I mean, a great defaults gratitude.
• 57:09
  I'm grateful for that.
• 57:11
  I was also taught about, I was given love.
• 57:13
  I was given, you know, I was,
• 57:15
  I was valued as a human being.
• 57:17
  So I try and pay it forward.
• 57:18
  I'm not perfect.
• 57:19
  I make mistakes, of course,
• 57:20
  but I'm grateful for that.
• 57:22
  All right.
• 57:23
  And I, and I realized that, you know,
• 57:25
  this is not an arrogance.
• 57:26
  It's also very hot.
• 57:27
  I hate the age word, but I hate the age word,
• 57:30
  but I don't have humbling,
• 57:31
  but it is very leveling to,
• 57:33
  to realize that these things are very important for you.
• 57:37
  And so we, we have that.
• 57:39
  And so it makes you grateful.
• 57:40
  So I passed that on.
• 57:41
  Now, there's other things I've learned from other people
• 57:43
  that I didn't know.
• 57:45
  And I learned from them.
• 57:46
  And so I think we need to talk about it.
• 57:47
  But the fundamentals really,
• 57:49
  the most important thing is the basics.
• 57:53
  And the basics are generally quite cheap or free.
• 57:56
  That's the reality.
• 57:58
  That's right.
• 57:58
  They're boring, but they're essential.
• 58:01
  Absolutely.
• 58:02
  And I tell people who absolutely,
• 58:03
  people who talk about how, you know,
• 58:05
  bio-hacking and longevity, it's so expensive.
• 58:08
  And I was like, oh, really?
• 58:09
  Like mobility, fasting, sleep.
• 58:11
  Yeah, all free.
• 58:12
  Guy, exercise, exercise in the most normal health.
• 58:15
  That's what we call it.
• 58:16
  Oh, all of it works.
• 58:17
  It will not buy my book and get the,
• 58:19
  blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 58:20
  So yeah, I wanted, I want to go back
• 58:22
  where we started, because our conversation we started
• 58:25
  was really about menopause and, and female reproductive
• 58:28
  girls in hormonal house.
• 58:31
  What advice would you give if you work in this all the time?
• 58:34
  You've got Austin Labs and that you're working with women
• 58:37
  who are going to menopause to potentially extend
• 58:39
  their fertility period.
• 58:42
  But also to recreate emotional house,
• 58:46
  yeah, for them through that process, obviously.
• 58:49
  What are the, I wanted you to break this down for us
• 58:52
  in three different sound bites, if you will.
• 58:53
  So that is the first one.
• 58:55
  What is it that women should be looking for
• 58:58
  other than a calendar?
• 59:00
  Because every woman just assumes
• 59:01
  she's going to go through menopause
• 59:02
  at the same time when mom didn't.
• 59:04
  But I don't know why you often need, did there are correlations?
• 59:08
  But I would say that there's genetics
• 59:09
  and then there's epigenetics.
• 59:11
  Renate is environment.
• 59:12
  There's environmental lifestyle changes
• 59:13
  that absolutely determine that even more than genetics.
• 59:16
  Yes, absolutely.
• 59:17
  So what is it that a woman can be doing
• 59:19
  before she gets into menopause?
• 59:21
  Okay, look for that.
• 59:22
  The second thing I want you to do is
• 59:24
  when a woman's in perimenopause,
• 59:26
  what are the lifestyle changes
• 59:27
  that you strongly recommend?
• 59:29
  And when a woman actually gets to the point of menopause,
• 59:34
  what are the things that she ought to be doing
• 59:36
  and the truth is those may all be the same fix?
• 59:39
  So, yeah.
• 59:40
  I break this down here.
• 59:41
  So what are the signs you should be doing
• 59:44
  before you're in menopause?
• 59:45
  Speak to a 25 year old woman,
• 59:47
  a 35 year old woman, and a 55 year old woman.
• 59:49
  Okay, right.
• 59:50
  So I've got the 26 year old daughter, right?
• 59:52
  So the first thing I would say is
• 59:54
  you'd make a virtue out of a necessity,
• 59:56
  create a lifestyle that is fundamentally healthy
• 1:00:00
  but not doesn't feel like you're working at it, right?
• 1:00:03
  So, you know, have a lifestyle where you do exercise,
• 1:00:07
  you move around, you've got to move, you've got to exercise
• 1:00:11
  and it doesn't mean you've got to be an Olympic athlete.
• 1:00:14
  You've just got to get out there
• 1:00:15
  and constantly do your exercise routine.
• 1:00:19
  Whatever that is, for some women is running,
• 1:00:21
  for some women is yoga,
• 1:00:22
  for some women it's kickboxing and whatever it is.
• 1:00:25
  You've got to find yourself where the works meet.
• 1:00:27
  Two things I want to put down there,
• 1:00:29
  one, especially for women, but for men as well.
• 1:00:32
  That's a community factor as well.
• 1:00:34
  That going to the gym and working out,
• 1:00:36
  they make friends at your gym
• 1:00:37
  and you will go to your gym or off.
• 1:00:39
  Yeah.
• 1:00:40
  Second thing is working out is not a punishment
• 1:00:42
  for what you ate out of the life.
• 1:00:44
  Right, right.
• 1:00:45
  It's not a punishment for what you ate.
• 1:00:46
  Working out as a celebration of what you can do.
• 1:00:48
  Yeah, great line.
• 1:00:49
  That's yeah, I like to use that one.
• 1:00:50
  I'm gonna use it.
• 1:00:51
  Just thanks, I'll tell you.
• 1:00:53
  But the other thing as well is diet as well.
• 1:00:56
  So it's diet, exercise and emotional health.
• 1:00:58
  So basically it's the same thing.
• 1:01:00
  Nothing changes.
• 1:01:01
  But you've got to find food that works for you, right?
• 1:01:03
  Now this is a tricky thing, you see.
• 1:01:06
  Because the signs that you have as certain age,
• 1:01:08
  you might be going into some form of
• 1:01:11
  phisophilaic shock, you know,
• 1:01:12
  and it could be diet, could be excess,
• 1:01:14
  could be I've got ADD or XYZ or ABC,
• 1:01:17
  whatever you want to call it,
• 1:01:18
  all these different things you may have,
• 1:01:20
  which I think a lot of them are constructs,
• 1:01:23
  rather than I mean, I'm not saying they don't exist,
• 1:01:26
  but they're not as identified
• 1:01:28
  because that's how people make their money.
• 1:01:30
  We identify this.
• 1:01:31
  So we take this pill and you'll be fine.
• 1:01:34
  No, only yourself.
• 1:01:36
  Always question number one.
• 1:01:38
  So the first thing is when I would do it any age,
• 1:01:42
  is get a baseline.
• 1:01:43
  Now obviously we believe our baseline is the best,
• 1:01:46
  of course, or one of the best.
• 1:01:47
  But I mean, in other words,
• 1:01:49
  know what your basics are.
• 1:01:50
  Take your gut bio, that changes very rapidly, by the way.
• 1:01:54
  Take your brain scans with change rapidly.
• 1:01:56
  Do your hormones, the day of change does rapidly.
• 1:01:58
  And obviously you do things like bone density,
• 1:02:01
  which is more sterile.
• 1:02:03
  So you have your basic setup.
• 1:02:05
  So you know what you're doing.
• 1:02:06
  So with my daughter said,
• 1:02:07
  take all these things, have it done.
• 1:02:09
  And she's got it.
• 1:02:10
  She's got the baseline.
• 1:02:11
  She's very thin, healthy.
• 1:02:14
  But nothing will happen to 25, 26.
• 1:02:17
  Maybe when she's 35, she might review it again,
• 1:02:20
  but she's living a lifestyle of health.
• 1:02:22
  She's not, you know, not going for excessive behavior.
• 1:02:25
  And that's really important to diet and exercise.
• 1:02:28
  And so giving her a chance to rest and sleep, right?
• 1:02:33
  Now for some people it's rested, can mean many things.
• 1:02:37
  It can be eight hours, for some people,
• 1:02:39
  five hours for others, whatever.
• 1:02:40
  Now that's the first, so the signs are,
• 1:02:42
  what happens with those signs?
• 1:02:44
  You'll get inflammation hives,
• 1:02:46
  markers on your hands or tiredness.
• 1:02:48
  But if you don't have a baseline to revert to,
• 1:02:51
  you have no idea what this could be.
• 1:02:53
  So the first thing I would do for anyone
• 1:02:55
  is get a baseline, get a full analysis documentation,
• 1:02:58
  get a full setup.
• 1:03:00
  And by the way, the same is true for men.
• 1:03:02
  Yes, and we just do it for men too.
• 1:03:03
  I mean, they're men as well.
• 1:03:04
  I mean, I'll give you an example,
• 1:03:06
  say I had a full body MRI done a couple of years ago now.
• 1:03:10
  And it showed a large prostate.
• 1:03:13
  But a large prostate doesn't mean in large prostate.
• 1:03:17
  That just means I may have a large prostate,
• 1:03:20
  but I had no baseline.
• 1:03:22
  Exactly.
• 1:03:23
  So therefore you're doing your result,
• 1:03:26
  you're trying to diagnose something
• 1:03:27
  without having a reference point.
• 1:03:29
  That's the problem.
• 1:03:30
  That was the problem everyone's trying to do.
• 1:03:31
  And they're trying to do it.
• 1:03:32
  So you know, but I mean, 100% true.
• 1:03:35
  And at the point that I had blood work done
• 1:03:38
  and showed elevated PSA levels,
• 1:03:40
  that immediately went into the fear factor
• 1:03:42
  for every doctorable.
• 1:03:43
  You had an enlarged prostate.
• 1:03:45
  You had elevated PSA levels as a result.
• 1:03:47
  The results were I had elevated PSA levels
• 1:03:50
  from an infection, rights.
• 1:03:51
  And I just have a large prostate, right?
• 1:03:54
  But if you knew you had lost prostate from before,
• 1:03:56
  and I have no, you would have been a rule
• 1:03:58
  like the emotional trauma that you now got by,
• 1:04:00
  but you have your causes all spiked,
• 1:04:02
  literally spiked,
• 1:04:03
  100% true.
• 1:04:04
  And the whole thing,
• 1:04:05
  if I could, oh my god,
• 1:04:06
  and the here thing is the truth matter is my dad.
• 1:04:09
  He had prostate cancer.
• 1:04:10
  So my immediate response was, oh, dear God,
• 1:04:14
  now I'm dealing with prostate cancer.
• 1:04:15
  Like, did it panic me to the point of thinking it?
• 1:04:18
  No, because I'm friends with some
• 1:04:19
  of the best functional oncologists in the world.
• 1:04:23
  So I'm like, okay, well, I just need to get on that
• 1:04:25
  protocol, but here's the reality.
• 1:04:27
  Like, it's still your right cortisol level spike,
• 1:04:29
  emotions change like everything starts to change in your head.
• 1:04:34
  But had I had a baseline,
• 1:04:36
  none of that reaction would have taken place.
• 1:04:39
  So again, the same thing for a woman, right?
• 1:04:41
  But yeah, you need to know what the baseline is
• 1:04:44
  to even know how that goes.
• 1:04:45
  And what would you do?
• 1:04:46
  I wouldn't want it.
• 1:04:47
  I wouldn't have the rest of the question.
• 1:04:48
  Okay, yeah, so, so, so you're saying,
• 1:04:50
  so get a baseline.
• 1:04:51
  It's the first thing we're going to do for this time.
• 1:04:52
  That would be pre-pre-peri or menopause, right?
• 1:04:57
  Then you have a baseline.
• 1:04:59
  But if only something you haven't done that point,
• 1:05:01
  when you hit peri,
• 1:05:02
  you'll start to see things like issues
• 1:05:06
  with brain fog, of lack of motivation.
• 1:05:09
  And the first thing you start to get that
• 1:05:11
  is immediately get a test done immediately.
• 1:05:14
  Contact people on, obviously, what test is that?
• 1:05:17
  Well, we would, we do a full analysis.
• 1:05:19
  So we would say a bone density,
• 1:05:21
  a throwing span of test,
• 1:05:22
  which is obviously a proprietary but an emotional test.
• 1:05:24
  The brain scan, a gut biome test,
• 1:05:27
  and the panels as well as what is full DNA, right?
• 1:05:30
  Because the thing with that is once you have that,
• 1:05:33
  we can work with it.
• 1:05:34
  Even if you do it at 50,
• 1:05:35
  we still work with it, whatever it is.
• 1:05:38
  But the sooner you get a dump,
• 1:05:39
  the signs are motivation, energy,
• 1:05:43
  libido, discount, eyesight may be going.
• 1:05:46
  And again, you might have a genetic issue with eyesight,
• 1:05:49
  but it might not be that,
• 1:05:50
  might be something else, right?
• 1:05:51
  But soon something happens, get the full testing done.
• 1:05:54
  That's the first thing.
• 1:05:56
  And then the second thing is store,
• 1:05:58
  the second thing we would recommend immediately
• 1:06:00
  is store your DNA.
• 1:06:01
  And I don't mean, you know,
• 1:06:04
  to store it with like a ZBG or something like that,
• 1:06:07
  where you take a token and you only have ownership
• 1:06:11
  with your DNA,
• 1:06:12
  because at some point that might come in useful in the future.
• 1:06:14
  Explain it.
• 1:06:15
  So the one thing you truly own is your own DNA.
• 1:06:18
  This is a different conversation,
• 1:06:19
  rather than anyone.
• 1:06:20
  But if you store it,
• 1:06:21
  your DNA will change over time.
• 1:06:23
  It can change.
• 1:06:24
  You're going to do your genetic change that thing.
• 1:06:28
  So if you have something stored
• 1:06:29
  with a natural sample of your DNA,
• 1:06:32
  I can just aim in freeze.
• 1:06:34
  Yeah, I think it's this is a separate conversation.
• 1:06:37
  I maybe I should talk about you with this offline.
• 1:06:38
  You could decide to talk if I had another time.
• 1:06:41
  But okay, it's it's it's self-consciousness.
• 1:06:43
  Yeah, this is an interesting one.
• 1:06:45
  And it's something that the group of us
• 1:06:46
  have been working with together,
• 1:06:48
  whereby you truly own something
• 1:06:50
  that no one else can take from.
• 1:06:51
  Right?
• 1:06:52
  That's something because we offer that
• 1:06:54
  to our patients when they come in immediately,
• 1:06:57
  although it's not widely done yet.
• 1:06:59
  But it does put a stitch in time,
• 1:07:00
  put a stitch in time.
• 1:07:01
  And you take that,
• 1:07:03
  and that's the first thing you should do.
• 1:07:05
  And the signs are brain fog,
• 1:07:07
  lack of motivation,
• 1:07:09
  despondency,
• 1:07:12
  starting to dislike the people that you love.
• 1:07:14
  That's a big one.
• 1:07:15
  You know,
• 1:07:16
  why am I disliking these people?
• 1:07:17
  Why do I hate everything?
• 1:07:19
  Why is this coffee doesn't taste good?
• 1:07:21
  Why doesn't this feel right?
• 1:07:23
  That's a really good time.
• 1:07:24
  Your emotions, your feelings,
• 1:07:25
  when those things happen,
• 1:07:27
  and the things you gotta be careful
• 1:07:29
  because it's our tendency,
• 1:07:30
  especially in the Western world,
• 1:07:31
  particularly in America,
• 1:07:33
  is to,
• 1:07:35
  oh my god, you know,
• 1:07:36
  the minute you have one drink,
• 1:07:37
  you're an alcoholic.
• 1:07:38
  It's black or white,
• 1:07:38
  it's shades of gray.
• 1:07:40
  I want you to speak on one quick topic.
• 1:07:42
  First control pills.
• 1:07:43
  Throwing that one out of nowhere.
• 1:07:44
  Ooh.
• 1:07:46
  Because clearly,
• 1:07:47
  I understand the purpose behind birth control pills,
• 1:07:50
  but I also know several women
• 1:07:52
  who aren't even sexually active
• 1:07:53
  who are on birth control pills.
• 1:07:55
  Did you stop the influx day?
• 1:07:58
  Correct.
• 1:07:59
  To just offset a painful menstrual cycle.
• 1:08:02
  How do birth control pills
• 1:08:04
  and that type of,
• 1:08:06
  I'll say, pharmaceutical interaction
• 1:08:08
  with the menstrual cycle affect metapause onset?
• 1:08:12
  My viewpoint is less is more.
• 1:08:15
  So having,
• 1:08:17
  had, you know,
• 1:08:18
  been married,
• 1:08:19
  you know, more than once,
• 1:08:20
  having, having experienced,
• 1:08:22
  you know,
• 1:08:22
  I've been related to understanding
• 1:08:24
  these going through a range of things.
• 1:08:26
  What I've noticed
• 1:08:27
  is that I would avoid
• 1:08:29
  as things that disrupt your bodily system
• 1:08:34
  as much as possible as a default.
• 1:08:37
  I'm not saying don't ever do it,
• 1:08:39
  but I'm saying be very careful about what you do
• 1:08:43
  because once you start down that road,
• 1:08:45
  there's a lot of,
• 1:08:46
  can be a lot of time to come back to that level we talked about
• 1:08:50
  of negative to positive back to the middle.
• 1:08:52
  So I, again,
• 1:08:55
  this is where that blank book as you talk about,
• 1:08:57
  you know,
• 1:08:58
  because I'm a man, right?
• 1:08:59
  It's just so it's different.
• 1:09:01
  This is about as non-committal
• 1:09:02
  as you've been on an answer to the entire conversation.
• 1:09:05
  Yeah, I've been on colonel on that one
• 1:09:06
  because I think that you could be very careful
• 1:09:10
  with those situations
• 1:09:11
  because it's not in isolation.
• 1:09:13
  When someone comes to us,
• 1:09:14
  you know,
• 1:09:15
  obviously they're on a different viewpoint,
• 1:09:16
  but as a rule,
• 1:09:18
  I would avoid as much farmer as you can.
• 1:09:23
  I don't know.
• 1:09:25
  I'm saying the fact that we need antibiotics sometimes,
• 1:09:28
  we need to talk about,
• 1:09:29
  but as a rule, less is more.
• 1:09:31
  Well, and I think that really becomes a matter of,
• 1:09:34
  here's my opinion,
• 1:09:34
  and again,
• 1:09:35
  I say this as a man is,
• 1:09:37
  I believe that we over index on the use of pharmaceuticals
• 1:09:41
  and the conversation that I have so often is,
• 1:09:45
  we deal with downstream symptoms
• 1:09:47
  around venture upstream prevention prevention.
• 1:09:50
  That's where about prevention,
• 1:09:51
  that painful menstrual cycles
• 1:09:53
  is usually an indication of something else is going on
• 1:09:57
  that you're not dealing with.
• 1:09:59
  I would arguably say,
• 1:10:01
  I know several women in the medical profession
• 1:10:02
  who believe that menopausal symptoms at all are not says.
• 1:10:08
  That women are dealing with menopausal symptoms
• 1:10:11
  and everything from hot flashes to boot swings
• 1:10:13
  and everything else
• 1:10:15
  are nothing more than gut dysregulation.
• 1:10:17
  Yeah, I don't see a lot of truth in them.
• 1:10:19
  And if they actually dealt with gut issues prior,
• 1:10:23
  that menopause itself is not supposed to be symptomatic.
• 1:10:28
  That is happening as you're handing up
• 1:10:30
  with all of these systems
• 1:10:31
  because something's changing their body, we agree,
• 1:10:33
  because,
• 1:10:34
  but it's triggering all of this
• 1:10:36
  because these two things used to live in harmony
• 1:10:38
  and when one of them changed,
• 1:10:40
  the other one is changing in response.
• 1:10:43
  Again, as a man,
• 1:10:44
  I clearly don't have an authority on that topic.
• 1:10:49
  But as a scientist, yes, I do.
• 1:10:51
  And I do understand that
• 1:10:53
  and I can lean on several female doctors
• 1:10:56
  who are close confidants
• 1:10:58
  that would arguably say that.
• 1:11:00
  I think, yeah.
• 1:11:01
  I think realistically, you're right.
• 1:11:03
  I fundamentally,
• 1:11:04
  we have to look at things
• 1:11:05
  and the holistic way,
• 1:11:07
  the other rich way,
• 1:11:08
  I'm not a big fan of humble, that is the idea.
• 1:11:10
  But we have to look at systemically the whole process.
• 1:11:14
  That's what our three laws come in,
• 1:11:15
  like I said,
• 1:11:16
  fully functioning,
• 1:11:17
  rough reproduction of organs,
• 1:11:18
  foundation of extending light,
• 1:11:20
  the second is emotions,
• 1:11:21
  effect aging,
• 1:11:22
  and the third is the body
• 1:11:23
  that's not into isolation.
• 1:11:25
  There's a series of citizens overlap.
• 1:11:27
  Why does the nervous system
• 1:11:29
  overlap the blood system,
• 1:11:30
  overlap the, you know,
• 1:11:31
  you're just like a bunch of layers.
• 1:11:32
  That's right, well.
• 1:11:33
  So when you look at it,
• 1:11:35
  you have to take all of those in their entirety
• 1:11:38
  and I think the problem with drugs,
• 1:11:41
  you know,
• 1:11:42
  I mean, I always jokingly say,
• 1:11:43
  if you're only taking them for fun,
• 1:11:44
  you know, don't take them for,
• 1:11:45
  don't take them for,
• 1:11:46
  sorry,
• 1:11:47
  sorry,
• 1:11:48
  you know,
• 1:11:49
  but what I'm saying is just like fundamentally,
• 1:11:51
  you're taking a drug with that knowing why you're taking it.
• 1:11:55
  I'm not saying you don't need them,
• 1:11:57
  but you've got to know those basics,
• 1:11:58
  like your doctor friends are saying is,
• 1:12:00
  maybe you've got this regulation.
• 1:12:02
  That's why if you've had your baseline, right?
• 1:12:04
  You can,
• 1:12:05
  oh, wait a minute,
• 1:12:06
  maybe I am that person who has a really high PI,
• 1:12:09
  adrenaline,
• 1:12:10
  maybe I've got a really high heart rate,
• 1:12:11
  and that's normal for me, right?
• 1:12:14
  I think we lean on our parents' experiences
• 1:12:16
  being normal,
• 1:12:17
  and then we regulate accordingly,
• 1:12:19
  but your parents live in different livestock.
• 1:12:22
  100%, 100%.
• 1:12:23
  That's the same,
• 1:12:24
  that's not a problem.
• 1:12:25
  Fair.
• 1:12:26
  Especially with its level of change
• 1:12:27
  has happened over the last 50, 100 years.
• 1:12:30
  It's huge.
• 1:12:31
  Absolute.
• 1:12:32
  When your parents were going as children,
• 1:12:33
  they didn't have overloaded sodas, overloadic,
• 1:12:35
  they maybe had some things,
• 1:12:36
  but not to them.
• 1:12:37
  Yeah, but the level of processed foods
• 1:12:39
  and Wi-Fi signals.
• 1:12:40
  They didn't have Wi-Fi.
• 1:12:41
  And you got any of those?
• 1:12:42
  What happens to Wi-Fi?
• 1:12:42
  Who knows?
• 1:12:43
  We know them.
• 1:12:44
  Blue light and blue light stuff.
• 1:12:46
  I mean, I mean,
• 1:12:47
  the whole thing with all the glasses people weigh, you know?
• 1:12:49
  And I see, I thought it's a bit of a joke,
• 1:12:51
  but actually, what's not a joke is real.
• 1:12:53
  I actually just saw an Andy other day that was for eight.
• 1:12:56
  It was for something that you put on your screen
• 1:12:59
  that actually blocks blue light,
• 1:13:00
  so it actually gives like a red hue to your phone.
• 1:13:03
  To block blue light if you're using,
• 1:13:05
  and vice has made it there.
• 1:13:06
  And also, for many years,
• 1:13:08
  I had a whole piece where I was off grid for 10 years,
• 1:13:11
  12 years, literally living built good.
• 1:13:13
  Yeah, and I now realize the things I'm having now
• 1:13:16
  are things that people had in their mid 30s.
• 1:13:19
  You know, the whole tiredness and so on and so on.
• 1:13:22
  So, but again, again, it's like,
• 1:13:24
  so an answer to your question, less is more.
• 1:13:26
  I agree with that.
• 1:13:27
  Less is more.
• 1:13:28
  Thank you so much being here.
• 1:13:29
  I appreciate the work you're doing to support women
• 1:13:32
  who are going through what I believe socially,
• 1:13:35
  we've considered to be a woman's crisis moment.
• 1:13:39
  Yeah, but because I don't think it has to be.
• 1:13:42
  And I think for many women,
• 1:13:43
  they dread the onset of menopause
• 1:13:45
  rather than celebrating it as being the next
• 1:13:48
  passage of life, right?
• 1:13:50
  Well, what can I once say,
• 1:13:51
  which is, is that half the woman is run,
• 1:13:54
  half the world is run by women.
• 1:13:56
  What's that? Right?
• 1:13:57
  So, we either let nature,
• 1:14:00
  we either let nature catch up with society,
• 1:14:05
  or we go back to mean cavemen.
• 1:14:06
  It's one of the two, right?
• 1:14:08
  And I think we're going to take the nature
• 1:14:09
  to catch up with society.
• 1:14:11
  And this is what we're trying to do.
• 1:14:12
  Well, I would actually arguably say
• 1:14:14
  that we've gotten so sophisticated
• 1:14:15
  that we've gone back.
• 1:14:16
  Yeah, we've gotten so sophisticated
• 1:14:19
  that all of the discoveries that we're seeing
• 1:14:21
  and science right now are going back to ancient wisdom.
• 1:14:24
  Yes, that we have to,
• 1:14:26
  we've been, that's a sure stood,
• 1:14:27
  the science behind it,
• 1:14:29
  but the wisdom has how we call them magic like that.
• 1:14:31
  Yeah, I mean, the truth is,
• 1:14:33
  I mean, Mediterranean diets.
• 1:14:34
  And it's like, well, now we understand why it works,
• 1:14:36
  but it just worked.
• 1:14:38
  And, you know, circadian rhythms.
• 1:14:40
  And so, like, they've always existed as,
• 1:14:43
  and our ancestors believed in them,
• 1:14:47
  even though they didn't know why,
• 1:14:49
  or biblical knowledge that, you know,
• 1:14:52
  that we understand that like nowadays,
• 1:14:54
  we're looking at like, you know,
• 1:14:54
  why would they told not to eat pork?
• 1:14:56
  Like, well, now we understand.
• 1:14:58
  We're going to recite it.
• 1:14:59
  We're going to have to,
• 1:15:00
  we're going to just break down the protein,
• 1:15:01
  so you don't have to eat your,
• 1:15:02
  the fruit, which is what cows,
• 1:15:03
  and she ate all of it in that thing.
• 1:15:05
  I know, so many things.
• 1:15:06
  But I love that.
• 1:15:07
  And I love what you're doing in that space.
• 1:15:09
  And thank you for supporting the women in all of our lives
• 1:15:11
  who are dealing with this,
• 1:15:13
  and helping them find solutions for it.
• 1:15:15
  I love your mindset in terms of, you know,
• 1:15:18
  living as long as thriving,
• 1:15:19
  as long as as possible biologically,
• 1:15:22
  but also staying emotionally, spiritually,
• 1:15:25
  and physiologically resilient in all stages of life.
• 1:15:28
  I think it's so important.
• 1:15:30
  And unfortunately, we do look at things in isolation
• 1:15:34
  and we're not isolated.
• 1:15:36
  There's not one part of our existence
• 1:15:39
  that is isolated from all of the rest of it.
• 1:15:42
  And unfortunately,
• 1:15:44
  it's like trying to decode a Rubik's cube
• 1:15:46
  with 452 sides.
• 1:15:49
  Yes, everybody can have a voice in their conversation.
• 1:15:51
  Well, really, there are six sides.
• 1:15:53
  I heard a boy and that's the thing.
• 1:15:54
  It ain't exactly,
• 1:15:55
  but it feels like it's a weird idea
• 1:15:57
  and the drug constantly playing
• 1:15:59
  where one thing affects the next,
• 1:16:00
  but it shoots.
• 1:16:01
  Thank you so much for being with us here on Age Defiantly.
• 1:16:03
  And for those of you listening,
• 1:16:05
  I guarantee you that you're going to want to look down
• 1:16:08
  on the show notes and learn more about what Zach is doing.
• 1:16:11
  He did not encourage us to follow his social media,
• 1:16:14
  but I'm certain that there's a presence out there
• 1:16:15
  that we'll put links to that you could take and land them
• 1:16:17
  as well because we have a book as well.
• 1:16:19
  I was getting there as well
• 1:16:20
  and then as we're going to put links to his book,
• 1:16:23
  you meet the title of the book again.
• 1:16:24
  So three laws of longevity.
• 1:16:25
  The three laws of longevity,
• 1:16:27
  looking forward to that real.
• 1:16:28
  Yep.
• 1:16:29
  As you can tell, I don't welcome any of the guys
• 1:16:31
  or the, yeah.
• 1:16:31
  This is only a fraction.
• 1:16:33
  The, uh, so look for it.
• 1:16:34
  The three laws of longevity,
• 1:16:36
  links are also down in the show notes
• 1:16:38
  and we will see you next time by the Age Defiantly.
