- 0:00Speaker 1: All right, we have we're talking about biology before we
- 0:03Speaker 1: have doctor Mikolos on the air right now, Doctor thanks
- 0:06Speaker 1: so much for waiting. A quick quick comment about living
- 0:09Speaker 1: to one hundred other than being a fed chairman. Any
- 0:12Speaker 1: tips on having how to live that.
- 0:13Speaker 2: Long, Well, there are many tips. And one of the things,
- 0:18Speaker 2: of course, you'll notice that he was actually a thinner person.
- 0:23Speaker 2: So that's why we all have to strive to lose
- 0:26Speaker 2: weight stay thin, and that's why eating less often intermittent
- 0:31Speaker 2: fasting is one of the keys to longevity, and that
- 0:34Speaker 2: forces our body to go into repair mode because during
- 0:38Speaker 2: those sixteen hours where we're not eating, if we only
- 0:41Speaker 2: eat between noon and eight, those people do a lot
- 0:44Speaker 2: better because during those sixteen hours, your kidneys are resting,
- 0:47Speaker 2: your gut is resting, your gut is focusing on immunity
- 0:51Speaker 2: and clean up. And of course, the Mediterranean diet has
- 0:54Speaker 2: been proven over and over again, and they found that
- 0:58Speaker 2: in the Mediterranean diet a denominator, which is the olive
- 1:02Speaker 2: oil which contains olaic acid and olayic acid and olive
- 1:06Speaker 2: oil and avocados, turns on the longevity genes coldest ratoins,
- 1:11Speaker 2: and recent literature even found that the olaic acid and
- 1:15Speaker 2: olive oil and avocados also activates stem cells, which is
- 1:20Speaker 2: pretty amazing. And another thing that all these people who
- 1:24Speaker 2: have longevity, they found that in their gut microbiome, they
- 1:28Speaker 2: have certain beneficial bacterias. When they analyze the gut basically
- 1:34Speaker 2: the poop of the people who are under there, it's
- 1:37Speaker 2: different and it's healthier and there's a more diverse and
- 1:42Speaker 2: balanced gut microbiome in these people. And the other thing
- 1:45Speaker 2: that in the recent literature they found is vitamin D
- 1:48Speaker 2: turns out not to really be a vitamin but a hormone,
- 1:51Speaker 2: and it actually keeps the little n caps on our
- 1:54Speaker 2: dnaqual the telomeres, and the longer they are, the longer
- 1:58Speaker 2: you live. And they found that people who can their
- 2:00Speaker 2: D levels between like fifty and seventy five, those people
- 2:04Speaker 2: had maintained longer telomeres. So vitamin D is also an
- 2:09Speaker 2: anti aging drug. So these are things we're finding out.
- 2:13Speaker 2: That's why in the blue zones they say that the
- 2:15Speaker 2: common denominators the elbow, but also Lomlindo, California happens to
- 2:20Speaker 2: be a blue zone. And then they figured out it's
- 2:22Speaker 2: because they eat a lot of avocados tho. Those are
- 2:25Speaker 2: some of the tips. And of course sleep is critical.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Sleeping on your side is more efficient because that's when
- 2:30Speaker 2: all the brain clean up happens, and cleaning up the
- 2:33Speaker 2: plaques and all the the waste materials in the brain
- 2:37Speaker 2: and side sleeping it's better. And those who sleep more.
- 2:40Speaker 2: And obviously movement. We've shown that exercise and movement keeps
- 2:45Speaker 2: our blood flowing and our vessels dilating, opening and closing.
- 2:49Speaker 2: That's why you get hardening are the arteries when you're
- 2:51Speaker 2: sedentary and your arteries don't open and close. But when
- 2:55Speaker 2: you move or exercise, even if it's just after you eat,
- 2:59Speaker 2: a quick minute walk or even one hundred and fifty
- 3:02Speaker 2: minutes a week of movement that helps keep our vessels
- 3:06Speaker 2: moving and healthy blood vessels are critical for anti aging.
- 3:12Speaker 2: And of course having good relationship, good friendships. That's like
- 3:16Speaker 2: having a built in psychiatrist in your community. And a
- 3:19Speaker 2: lot of these villages in the blue zones, they all
- 3:21Speaker 2: hang out at the coffee shop, the men, the women.
- 3:24Speaker 2: They talk, They go to church together, they go to
- 3:26Speaker 2: synagogue together, the mosque together, they pray together, and those
- 3:29Speaker 2: people tend to do a lot better. But before I
- 3:36Speaker 2: finish up, you guys have been talking a lot about Iran,
- 3:39Speaker 2: and I was wondering if I can just common two
- 3:41Speaker 2: minutes about something. Historically, we have to realize when you're
- 3:44Speaker 2: dealing with Iran, it's actually thirty one separate provinces and
- 3:48Speaker 2: each one of them has a different high OERGC General
- 3:51Speaker 2: and it's broken up into five world region. And you
- 3:53Speaker 2: think of Iran, we keep talking about it as this
- 3:56Speaker 2: monolithic place, but actually it's broken up into several regions
- 4:00Speaker 2: that don't get along. In the southeast you have the
- 4:02Speaker 2: Sunnis where you have all the uprisings, and that's in
- 4:06Speaker 2: Sisastan and Baalukastan. And then in the western area you
- 4:11Speaker 2: have the Kurds, which are fighting for autonomy. And then
- 4:14Speaker 2: you have an area remember that Iran is not Sunni.
- 4:18Speaker 2: It's a Shia country unlike the other regions. And in
- 4:22Speaker 2: Kuzakistan they have the Arab minority and that's in the
- 4:25Speaker 2: oil rich region and they're always having issues over there.
- 4:29Speaker 2: And then on the Caspian Sea you have the Gelon region,
- 4:33Speaker 2: which is where the left wing progressive are which most
- 4:35Speaker 2: of the protests happen. And then you have kom To
- 4:39Speaker 2: om where you have the area where all the theocracies and
- 4:43Speaker 2: the basically the Mullahs and the religious schools are. So
- 4:49Speaker 2: Iran is just broken up. It's just like basically when
- 4:53Speaker 2: you're dealing with them in these negotiations, it's like you're
- 4:57Speaker 2: dealing with Montana, Texas, flar in New York, California, and
- 5:01Speaker 2: they all have different ideas. And that's one of the
- 5:04Speaker 2: reasons why a lot of these things get slowed down
- 5:07Speaker 2: because they're broken up into so many regions with all
- 5:10Speaker 2: this diversity, and they have different concerns. And I always
- 5:14Speaker 2: remind people that in six hundred ad, Iran was Zoastrian,
- 5:18Speaker 2: Afghanistan was Buddhist, and Egypt was eighty percent copy Christians.
- 5:22Speaker 2: So these places have undergone a lot of changes, and
- 5:26Speaker 2: that's why they fight with their neighbors and nobody talks
- 5:28Speaker 2: about it's also religious, for they are of the Twelve
- 5:32Speaker 2: Books of the Shia sect, and all those surrounding countries
- 5:35Speaker 2: that they've been attacking are all Sunni countries. So I
- 5:38Speaker 2: just wanted just so people understand that region a little
- 5:42Speaker 2: bit better.
- 5:44Speaker 1: Doctor, We're dealing with a number of issues in addition
- 5:49Speaker 1: to all the health and biological things you've just mentioned.
- 5:53Speaker 1: You know, there's stress going on in American life right now.
- 5:57Speaker 1: I wasn't joking at the top of the six A
- 6:00Speaker 1: when I talked about how they'rehutting down all the roads
- 6:02Speaker 1: and New Jersey transit for these games. I mean that's
- 6:05Speaker 1: an aspect of it. Also, I mean the stress that
- 6:07Speaker 1: people of there's a psychological aspect to your health as well.
- 6:10Speaker 2: Absolutely, there's also electronic heroin. Because we're looking at teenagers
- 6:15Speaker 2: and teenage girls. The suicide rate is elevted, mental illness
- 6:19Speaker 2: and anxiety because they look at social media, they see
- 6:22Speaker 2: how other people are living, they compare their lives. They
- 6:24Speaker 2: feel like a loser because people are always showing, you know,
- 6:28Speaker 2: taking pictures of their food or where they're vacationing, and
- 6:31Speaker 2: this instant gratification electronic heroin is doing damage to our youth.
- 6:37Speaker 2: And right down in the city, there's a lot of
- 6:39Speaker 2: stress because people have concerns and you know, whenever you
- 6:42Speaker 2: have a mass migration event, and that's what the World
- 6:44Speaker 2: Cup is, or even out in the Antons with the
- 6:47Speaker 2: US open, you have all these people together and they're
- 6:51Speaker 2: always concerns about safety. There's concerned about spread of diseases TB.
- 6:56Speaker 2: You know a lot of these things are on the rise.
- 6:58Speaker 2: Measles is popping up again because there's so many unvaccinated
- 7:01Speaker 2: people around the world from beasles, which is very important.
- 7:04Speaker 2: We're seeing a rise in TB. Nobody likes to talk
- 7:07Speaker 2: about it, but Bellevue has a whole TV ward. You know,
- 7:10Speaker 2: every time you go on the subway, you know there
- 7:12Speaker 2: are there are concerns all these life stressors, anxiety and
- 7:17Speaker 2: also financial stress. I mean, I have a little, tiny,
- 7:21Speaker 2: little house that was twenty three hundred years and insurance
- 7:25Speaker 2: and now it's sixty three hundreds. So people car insurance
- 7:28Speaker 2: is double. So these are real issues that you know
- 7:31Speaker 2: need to be addressed. And in New York especially, it's
- 7:36Speaker 2: gotten very expensive. And you know, I talked to a
- 7:39Speaker 2: lot of families, and I talk to seniors, and they're
- 7:42Speaker 2: making decisions about can I forward my medicine and my
- 7:45Speaker 2: copse this month versus going shopping or well, you know,
- 7:49Speaker 2: I'm not going to drive because I don't know if
- 7:51Speaker 2: I can fill out my car. So all that adds stress,
- 7:53Speaker 2: and we know that stress causes a rise in cortisol
- 7:57Speaker 2: and epinefron Why do people get heart attacks when they're
- 8:00Speaker 2: stressed out, because in our ancient biology, our clotting system
- 8:05Speaker 2: goes into overdrive. Because in ancient times when we had stress,
- 8:08Speaker 2: it was an anticipation of being attacked by a saber
- 8:11Speaker 2: tooth tiger or having trauma, So our clotting system would
- 8:16Speaker 2: go into overdrive. So when men are stressed out over
- 8:19Speaker 2: work and women are stressed out over work and you
- 8:21Speaker 2: wake up in the middle night thinking about all these things,
- 8:24Speaker 2: that clotting system goes into overdrive in anticipation of trauma,
- 8:29Speaker 2: and that's why you get more strokes and heart attacks
- 8:32Speaker 2: and things like that. And speaking of that, the new
- 8:36Speaker 2: guidelines came out. We want to keep our LDLs below
- 8:39Speaker 2: one hundred. And one of the markers that you should
- 8:41Speaker 2: ask your doctor to check that a lot of them
- 8:43Speaker 2: don't put. It's an important markers the aple lip of
- 8:46Speaker 2: protein B, which is the carrier of cholesterol, and they
- 8:49Speaker 2: found if you can keep that below one hundred, you
- 8:52Speaker 2: dramatically decrease your risks of heart attack and strokes. And
- 8:56Speaker 2: of course another thing for longevity is avoiding seed oil
- 9:00Speaker 2: because they're made with artificial things like hecksaye, so you
- 9:03Speaker 2: want to stick to avocado oil. Alive oil.
- 9:06Speaker 3: You have a new book coming out, Yes, tell us
- 9:09Speaker 3: about the new book. Then when is it coming out.
- 9:11Speaker 2: The end of July. It's about three hundred and forty
- 9:15Speaker 2: pages and it summarizes all.
- 9:16Speaker 3: The end and he's going to tell us how do
- 9:18Speaker 3: we live to one hundred.
- 9:21Speaker 2: It's going to give us a lot of tips because
- 9:23Speaker 2: all the information is from all the centenario.
- 9:25Speaker 3: Well, WABC is giving you a big book.
- 9:27Speaker 2: Put what's really cool about it? We work with an
- 9:31Speaker 2: AI gentleman who's like thirty years old in the Forbes
- 9:34Speaker 2: Under thirty. He developed an AI protocol which is part
- 9:38Speaker 2: of the book where you put any topic in anti
- 9:41Speaker 2: aging into this AI section, and what it does is
- 9:44Speaker 2: it searches and pulls up all the recent literature on
- 9:47Speaker 2: that topic. So if you put mett forman, which is
- 9:50Speaker 2: a common diabetes drug made from French lilac that's been
- 9:53Speaker 2: found to help with anti aging and anti cancer and
- 9:56Speaker 2: actually anti COVID, you put it in and it'll pull
- 9:59Speaker 2: up all the rece in literature on every topic and
- 10:01Speaker 2: all the new literature. Like just the other day, a
- 10:03Speaker 2: publication came out that since it's Alzheimer's Month, that our
- 10:08Speaker 2: copper zinc ratio is critical in avoiding Alzheimer's disease, so
- 10:12Speaker 2: there's a lot keep listening with WABC.

- 10:34Speaker 1: Don't live to one hundred, I'm going to come looking
- 10:36Speaker 1: for you.
- 10:38Speaker 3: I'm doing intermitted fasting too, Okay, I don't need I
