Motivation Daily by Motiversity - REVERSE AGING: These HABITS make you YOUNGER & ATTRACTIVE

Episode Date: May 3, 2023

Dr. Mark Hyman & Bryan Johnson explain how to reverse aging by reversing disease, easing pain and living younger longer that will revolutionize how we approach aging."We can now have animals live 1/3 longer and if we apply that to humans we can live until at least 120. The extraordinary ability we have to unlock the keys to disease reversal and aging backward is scientific fact."Special thanks to Tom Bilyeu and Lewis Howes.Watch the full interview with Lewis Howes here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxpCUvYlYRw&t=0sSpeakers:Bryan JohnsonDr. Mark HymanMusic:Epidemic SoundSoundstripe Hosted on Acast.

Hello listeners. Motivacity is excited to share that we have launched a new podcast called Morning Motivation by Motivore. If you are looking to start your day with positivity and the most uplifting motivational audio, this is the show for you. For today's episode of Motivation Daily by Motivority Podcast, we are sharing a recent episode from the Morning Motivation Podcast. If you like it, go follow the show. New episodes are being released every week.

The link is in the description. Decreptitude, decline, frailty, disease, disability, loss of cognitive function. And those are abnormal things that happen. They don't have to happen. It's possible to be very vibrant if we know how to take care of ourselves. And what we've done in our culture is activate all of our disease systems. Is the ability to slow the rate of aging and then reversing aging that has occurred possible now? It's just hiding in tens of thousands of scientific publications and a lot of really hard work.

What we see as aging today is something that gives us an impression that it's bad to get older because you're going to become disabled, decrepit, dysfunctional, frail. We now have a society where six and ten of us have chronic disease, where four in ten have more than one, where if you're over 65, you know, 80% have a chronic disease. with our understanding of the human genome, of systems biology, of the body as a biological network, as a system, it's like an ecosystem where everything is connected, working together. And so the way we organize medicine is according to these organs. If you can measure every organ of the body and let the organs speak about what it wants to be in an ideal state,

reference gold standard scientific evidence, and then create a protocol, and then have perfect adherence, You create a system where the body can maintain itself in an optimal state. We may be able to even create something called longevity escape velocity, meaning we can escape death by advancing science that will keep us living longer and longer each year we're alive. I do think that it is pushing the boundaries of what we thought is possible. And we know an animal model if we've been able to extend life by a third, right? So if we do certain interventions, we can take animals and make them more than the third longer, which means for humans, you live to be 120.

As this new form of intelligence emerges in the world, what does that mean for us? And in contemplating this, it might be wise for us to ask, what should we aspire to as a species? When I was in medical school, I studied a book called The Pathologic Basis of Disease. But we now know that we have an innate healing system. How do we get ourselves pointed in the right direction? And so blueprint, it may seem about health and wellness and diet and food, is really not. It's my best guess at the ideal way for all of us to prepare ourselves to walk into this future. We can get biologically younger as we get chronologically older.

And studies have found even in eight weeks with a high-intensity dietary intervention from lifestyle stuff, you can reverse biological age in eight weeks by three years. This is really new because we really only started measuring the epigenetic ages through a biological clock over the last couple of years. So now we have a metric to determine interventions and how they work on affecting your biological age. So it's measured by taking a blood sample and looking at the epigenome, which is basically means above your genes. Your genes are fixed. You've got 20,000 genes. They're like the keyboard on a piano.

But the epigenome is like a piano player. Player can play jazz, rock, classical Mozart, you know, reggae, whatever that, all on the same piano. So that's the epigenome, is the piano player. And what determines which songs get played in your songbook of life is every single. Everything washing over your genes throughout your life. Your thoughts, your relationships, what you eat, your exercise at sleep, how you handle stress, your microbiome. Literally everything is washing over the genes constantly and regulating the epigenome.

So by living a healthy lifestyle, by doing some of the things we're going to talk about around how do we sort of hack longevity, we can actually improve the expression of our epigenome and reverse our biological clock. And then these horrible things that happen called zombie cells. zombie cells are called senescent cells. Senescence means aging. So basically these cells are supposed to die, but they don't die. And they just continue to spew out inflammatory chemicals and produce inflammation.

And that's another one of the hallmarks of aging is inflammation. Everything that happens as you get older connects to inflammation. So inflammation is kind of the disease of aging. And then we have mitochondrial changes. Mitochondri are the energy factories in your cells or in your muscle. They're in every organ, every cell. And our mitochondria poop out. But those are things we can regenerate, repair, renew, that's good.

Recreate. We can build through, like, the protein and the exercise and various supplements and foods, all help rejuvenate mitochondria. And the last one is the microbiome. But as we age, our microbiome degrades, we get what we call dysbiosis, imbalances in our gut bacteria. And those gut bacteria become toxic and inflammatory. So part of the diet you have to have is to take care of your inner garden.

You need pre-in probiotic foods and polyphenols. So pre-biotic foods are things like, you know, asparagus, artichokes, Jerusalem artichokes, hickama, plantains. These are foods that feed the good bacteria. And then there's probiotic foods, sourcrout, kimchi, miso, tempe. The ancient foods that have been around forever that are fermented foods that are pre-biotic.

And then there's polyphenols, and there are certain compounds in plants that your gut bacteria love. So you're not only eating for yourself, you're eating for the trillions of microbes that almost outnumber yourselves in your gut. And those microbes, when they're bad, cause inflammation and disease and diabetes and cancer and everything else. But when they're good, they regulate inflammation.

They help you stay healthy. It's super important to feed them right. So you have to learn how to tend your inner garden. The truth is that you've lost a lot of important species that you need to work with your diet to make good stuff. If you have a migraine, we're actually learning that might be related to gut flora. I mean, now we know that you might be getting cancer because of your gut bacteria. Well, no oncologist is asking you what's going on in your gut microbiome. You need to approach the human system by an organ-by-organ basis.

You, of course, can do things for system well-being like we have been doing. And so this first phase of blueprint has been entirely about getting the basics right to slow the rate of aging. We just started in the past month at this phase two, which is what you said, regeneration. And we're doing this on an organ-by-organ basis. So in the same way, we've looked at my heart and we've quanted. it from a dozen or so different age markers. And once you have those age markers, you're armed with going to the literature and saying,

what evidence is there in literature that you can regenerate the heart in these functions or in this anatomical way? And that's how we're approaching the entirety of regeneration. And this is the open question is, can we in fact reduce the biological age of me in its entirety starting with organs? And so it may be epigenetics and maybe DNA methylation. Maybe not. So it's really TBD. But what we're doing is we have to start with measurement and we have to look at it as system because your heart can be 70 years old

and you're chronologically 30. So your organs are at this very wide range. You're not one age, you're this whole, you're hundreds of different ages. And so that's what we're really trying to do is break it down. That's why you need such robust measurement. I know from experience, if you take this to a doctor, a doctor, it's a hard conversation to have with a doctor. If somebody's trying to do something that is not a part of the system, it's hard. Which is why I've been sharing this with everyone,

is then it creates, it gives an opportunity for a bunch of people to jump in and start doing things in different ways. But it's this opportunity for us to rethink the future of our existence is a computational fabric of gold line it, of trillions of intelligent agents. And we are immersed in this tapestry. And we're moving in this trajectory. We don't know where, but along the system, much like evolution has done on planet Earth and produced,

but it's this system of interwoven intelligence, and we're part of it. That's the beauty of our minds, is we have the power over our thoughts between stimulus and response. response, there's a pause. And in that pause lies a choice. And in that choice lies our freedom.
