- 0:00Speaker 2: Peter Mikulos, become a good friend over the years. He's
- 0:03Speaker 2: a great doctor.
- 0:04Speaker 3: And he's got a new book out, The Death of Aging,
- 0:08Speaker 3: a comprehensive medical guide to living a longer, healthier life.
- 0:14Speaker 3: And on his little one pager, at the very bottom,
- 0:17Speaker 3: I love this. It reads, aging is not a destiny.
- 0:23Speaker 3: It's a choice. Let the death of aging unlock the
- 0:28Speaker 3: secrets of to a younger you. Dr. Peter, my friend,
- 0:32Speaker 3: good morning.
- 0:32Speaker 1: How are you? Good morning. It's an honor to be
- 0:36Speaker 1: on the show with Sid Rosenberg because all my friends
- 0:38Speaker 1: listen to you every day, a lot of doctor friends,
- 0:41Speaker 1: and they're like, wow, you're going to be on the
- 0:43Speaker 1: Sid show. And they're all excited. But the death of...
- 0:46Speaker 1: The death of aging is about basically helping us to
- 0:50Speaker 1: live longer, practical, healthy life. What happens is because I
- 0:55Speaker 1: do this medical show the last five years with the
- 0:57Speaker 1: great John Katsimatidis, everybody kept asking me, When are you
- 1:01Speaker 1: going to write a book? When are you going to
- 1:02Speaker 1: write a book? I actually wrote my first one called
- 1:04Speaker 1: Die Young at a Golden Age. I wrote a booklet
- 1:07Speaker 1: 30 years ago on anti-aging. I was interested in it
- 1:09Speaker 1: because why did my great-great-grandfather live to be 103 in
- 1:13Speaker 1: Greece and a lot of my relatives were checking out
- 1:16Speaker 1: in their 60s here in the United States and the
- 1:19Speaker 1: differences in diet. So I basically summarized with my co-author, Dr. Magdalena,
- 1:26Speaker 1: who is a board-certified internist anti-aging specialist. And we summarize
- 1:31Speaker 1: all the literature in the world and practical solutions on
- 1:34Speaker 1: what you can do about gut health, the microbiome, peptides, hormones, supplements.
- 1:39Speaker 1: People wanted to know about stem cells, gene therapy, cancer prevention,
- 1:43Speaker 1: genetic testing. and even things like sleep, diet, mental health, exercise,
- 1:50Speaker 1: and what is actually in the literature. And we also
- 1:53Speaker 1: partnered with a brilliant AI scientist in Poland who was
- 1:58Speaker 1: in the Forbes 30 Under 30, and we also... So
- 2:00Speaker 1: I have an AI app that comes with the book
- 2:02Speaker 1: where you can put any topic in anti-aging exercise, and
- 2:05Speaker 1: it pulls up all the risks, benefits, and the recent
- 2:09Speaker 1: literature summarizing everything. And, again, we're grateful because The Death
- 2:15Speaker 1: of Aging, which is on Amazon. It is now listed
- 2:19Speaker 1: as a number one new release for the last 10 days.
- 2:25Speaker 1: We wanted to share the information about what is really
- 2:29Speaker 1: happening in aging because there's all these different books, but
- 2:32Speaker 1: something written by actual real doctors that were well-researched and
- 2:37Speaker 1: very important to know about and to understand it. And
- 2:42Speaker 1: also anti-aging on this planet, and since you were talking
- 2:46Speaker 1: about what's happening today and you're going to the United Nations,
- 2:49Speaker 1: I want to remind people that the biggest leaps in
- 2:53Speaker 1: anti-aging were actually done by Jewish doctors, Jewish scientists, because,
- 2:58Speaker 1: for example, Alexander Friedman came up with the idea of penicillin,
- 3:02Speaker 1: but the guys who actually made it, streptomycin, penicillin, who
- 3:06Speaker 1: even coined the name antibiotic, were guys like Heinz, and uh...
- 3:11Speaker 1: shot and people like Andrew Saban and Salk who made
- 3:16Speaker 1: the polio vaccine, and Landstein who made blood banking possible
- 3:21Speaker 1: so you can get a transfusion. That's why many people
- 3:24Speaker 1: survive trauma and car accidents. And small incision cataract surgery
- 3:28Speaker 1: that everybody sees well is from a kid from Brooklyn
- 3:31Speaker 1: named Charlie Kelman. So I want to remind people that
- 3:34Speaker 1: without those people that many of us would be dead.
- 3:39Speaker 1: And one of the biggest things that prolonged longevity in
- 3:43Speaker 1: the world and the United States were because those men
- 3:46Speaker 1: made and created things like antibiotics. Dr. Sidney Farber, the
- 3:51Speaker 1: first chemotherapy to save children from leukemia. So I always
- 3:55Speaker 1: remind people that. And of course, when you get down
- 3:58Speaker 1: there to the UN, always remind all those anti-Semites that
- 4:01Speaker 1: we wouldn't even have a United States of America without
- 4:04Speaker 1: If it wasn't for Heinz Solomon, a Polish-Jewish immigrant who
- 4:07Speaker 1: actually was the financier of the war, because the French
- 4:10Speaker 1: would give us these loans, but we couldn't do anything
- 4:12Speaker 1: with French currency. And he's the guy who converted all
- 4:15Speaker 1: the money to local Continental Congress cash. And when they
- 4:19Speaker 1: ran out of money at the key battle, the Battle
- 4:22Speaker 1: of Yorktown, George Washington summoned Heinz Solomon, and he came
- 4:25Speaker 1: up with the 20 grand to pay the soldiers, the
- 4:28Speaker 1: medical supply, the bullets, the ammunition. And that's why we
- 4:31Speaker 1: even have a United States of America contract. So I
- 4:34Speaker 1: just want to remind people of that and the roots
- 4:38Speaker 1: of longevity. Really, a lot of the great things, even
- 4:41Speaker 1: the great scientists today, called David Sinclair is a Jewish Australian,
- 4:45Speaker 1: and he's doing O.S.K. Yamanaka genes, where the whole cover
- 4:49Speaker 1: of Time magazine is dedicated to that this month. and
- 4:53Speaker 1: they discovered that each one of our cells has a
- 4:55Speaker 1: younger version of itself, and they reversed blindness in mice
- 4:58Speaker 1: and apes, and the first humans were injected on June 9th.
- 5:02Speaker 1: So medicine is about to change, and they even injected
- 5:06Speaker 1: these OSK Yamanaka genes that reprogrammed our own cells in
- 5:11Speaker 1: wild mice at Stanford University, and they lived 109% longer.
- 5:15Speaker 1: That's an extra 200 days, which is the equivalent of
- 5:18Speaker 1: 34 human years. So imagine in five years when these
- 5:22Speaker 1: things are available that Sid Rosenberg will be able to
- 5:25Speaker 1: go in and we can listen to him for another
- 5:28Speaker 1: 50 years on the radio. We can reprogram the gene.
- 5:32Speaker 1: So The Death of Aging, it's on Amazon, and the
- 5:35Speaker 1: website is thedeathofaging.com.
- 5:38Speaker 3: Thank you for bringing up the Solomon story, too. I
- 5:40Speaker 3: only have about two minutes here. Again, the book is
- 5:43Speaker 3: The Death of Aging, A Comprehensive Medical Guide to Living
- 5:46Speaker 3: a Longer, Healthier Life with my friend and the brilliant doctor,
- 5:49Speaker 3: really brilliant, Dr. Peter Mikulos.
- 5:51Speaker 2: You know, just about everybody in my gym, this is
- 5:53Speaker 2: just knock-around guys, okay, right here in Rockaway, they're on peptides,
- 5:57Speaker 2: just about every one of them.
- 5:58Speaker 3: And I always say, kind of jokingly, but I'm being serious,
- 6:01Speaker 3: there's no reason for any American to be fat anymore.
- 6:05Speaker 3: Unless they like it. What's fun about that? Take that
- 6:08Speaker 3: GLP shot, that little shot right inside your stomach, and
- 6:12Speaker 3: you can actually almost see the weight melt off. So you,
- 6:16Speaker 3: as a legitimate big-time doctor, whether it's the GLPs, the peptides,
- 6:22Speaker 3: growth hormone, it's all part of anti-aging, do you recommend
- 6:26Speaker 3: those to people who are looking to stay young?
- 6:29Speaker 1: Yeah, actually, what happens with GLPs, you have to be
- 6:31Speaker 1: very careful because there are a lot of potential side effects.
- 6:35Speaker 1: And I think that pulsing GLPs under the supervision of
- 6:38Speaker 1: an integrated medicine doctor is much safer. For the people
- 6:41Speaker 1: who are very obese, yes, it's magical. You stop eating.
- 6:45Speaker 1: But long-term... There are issues. There are cases, actually about
- 6:49Speaker 1: 800 in the United States have reported cases of loss
- 6:53Speaker 1: of vision. There are cases of bowel obstruction because it
- 6:56Speaker 1: slows up the bowels. So if you Google GLPs and
- 6:59Speaker 1: bowel obstruction, the lawyers are having a party with it.
- 7:02Speaker 1: So there are issues, but pulsing it is sometimes safer.
- 7:06Speaker 1: Sometimes people come off of it. But you can start off,
- 7:08Speaker 1: a lot of people don't start with basic things like
- 7:11Speaker 1: intermittent fasting. I lost 40 pounds by only eating between
- 7:15Speaker 1: noon and 8 o'clock. letting your gut rest for 16 hours.
- 7:18Speaker 1: So GLPs are good, but I don't think long-term that
- 7:23Speaker 1: they're great. I think that sometimes pulsing it, taking the
- 7:28Speaker 1: minimal dose, but if you're not that heavy, you just
- 7:31Speaker 1: want to lose 10 pounds, that's not the way to go.
- 7:33Speaker 1: This is really for the morbidly obese people who need
- 7:37Speaker 1: that kickstart because it's like heroin. Once you're on it,
- 7:41Speaker 1: you come off, you get a ravenous, hunger again. And
- 7:44Speaker 1: there's even something called those epic feet where you lose
- 7:46Speaker 1: the fat in the bottom of your heels and people
- 7:49Speaker 1: are having trouble walking. And you can see these women
- 7:51Speaker 1: who overdo it. You lose the fat in your face
- 7:53Speaker 1: and you start looking different. So we're going to have
- 7:56Speaker 1: all these old, frail people with a lot of these GOPs.
- 7:58Speaker 1: So it has to be done with caution under the
- 8:00Speaker 1: supervision of a doctor. And keep listening to Sid Rosenberg
- 8:05Speaker 1: for more health tips on how to live long and prosper,
- 8:08Speaker 1: as the great John Katzmatidis always says.
- 8:10Speaker 2: I got to bring you back more often. You really
- 8:12Speaker 2: are great. I know John loves you, and I love
- 8:14Speaker 2: most things that John loves.
- 8:15Speaker 3: So, The Death of Aging, a comprehensive medical guide to
- 8:18Speaker 3: living a longer, healthier life, already slated to be a bestseller.
- 8:23Speaker 3: Got to be a great book. My friend, Dr. Peter Mikulos. Dr. Mikulos,

- 8:36Speaker 1: the word of the day.
- 8:38Speaker 3: I like that. You like that, Lou? Stay positive and
- 8:41Speaker 3: test negative.
- 8:43Speaker 2: Of course, a doctor had to come up with that.
- 8:44Speaker 1: I know.
- 8:44Speaker 2: I love that. That's a great job. Pete Mikulos right there.
- 8:47Speaker 2: He's a super guy.
