00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:06.000
Your perception, your belief about aging has a monumental impact
2
00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:10.119
on your physical health. In fact, those who had negative
3
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:16.359
or embraced mentally negative stereotypes about aging had a seven
4
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:20.120
point five year reduction in life span versus those who
5
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:25.120
had more positive impression of aging. And that about nails it.
6
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:32.479
People look, feel and live look and feel less good
7
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:36.280
than they ought to and live shorter lives than they
8
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:39.359
ought to because of mindset.
9
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:42.799
In this regard, what if the biggest threat to your
10
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:47.640
health isn't aging itself, but what you believe about aging. Today,
11
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:50.640
I sit down with Brian vasilely Boundar of the Art
12
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:54.840
of Anti Aging, to explore how our beliefs shape our longevity,
13
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:57.880
why most of what we've been taught about getting older
14
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:02.880
is wrong, and how mindset, no plasticity and everyday habits
15
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:07.040
can help us stay vibrant, healthy and thriving for decades
16
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:10.200
longer than we think. I'm really happy to be here
17
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:13.920

quite a renaissance figure with diverse interests and activities. That's wonderful.
40
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:42.039
Yeah. Well, I do have to note a couple of
41
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:44.280
those last ones you put out there. Those are past
42
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:51.039
ventures that were great adventures, but intense experiences is retired,
43
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:55.000
although people will find all that material still out there. Yeah,
44
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:57.719
one world one book that was an interesting adventure, but
45
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:01.560
I don't believe people will find that one any more. However,
46
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:04.400
the art of anti aging, dot Com and Purity Woods
47
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:08.520
are alive and thriving. So yeah, yeah, wow, you really
48
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:10.360
went into my background there. That's awesome.
49
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:14.639
All right, Well, thank you for clarifying that. So as
50
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:17.240
we get started with our conversation here about your work
51
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:19.960
and about the art of anti aging, I wonder if
52
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:21.400
you could give us just a little bit of your
53
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:24.479
origin story. I think it's always helpful for the audience
54
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:26.159
to see, you know, how did you end up in
55
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:28.879
this whole world of longevity and anti aging?
56
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:34.759
Yeah? Absolutely so. Well, I am currently fifty four and
57
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:38.919
you can probably slice my life down the middle almost
58
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:44.840
and the first half was really quite rough by anyone's definitions.
59
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:49.759
Fleet So I grew up in inner city Chicago in
60
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:53.879
a pretty rough neighborhood. I lost friends to gangs, and
61
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:57.120
you know, it was just kind of an environment where
62
00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:59.680
I always had to watch my back on the outside.
63
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:04.800
But far more well traumatic it was the fact that
64
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:07.360
my father was a good man until around my age
65
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:11.280
of nine years old. He then became severely alcoholic and
66
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:15.360
severely abusive to me, to my sister, to my mother,
67
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.439
and I can get into the what and why of that.
68
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.160
He had a fascinating life, but a very hard life,
69
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:25.920
and he did not deal effectively with some very serious
70
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:30.040
traumas he faced. He lost his first wife. They got
71
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:32.160
an argument and he watched as she stepped out of
72
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.399
the car angry, and that truck hit her and killed her.
73
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:38.439
He lost his son from his previous marriage to my
74
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:40.759
mother when I was just three. I didn't know my
75
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:44.839
that half brother who was hit by a car while
76
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:47.759
riding a bike and killed. He was a World War
77
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:52.319
two spy for the United States who you know, was
78
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:56.399
in Germany during World War II seeing all of that,
79
00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:01.160
and he interestingly fell in love with a woman who
80
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:03.120
turned out to be a Russian spy and they were
81
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:04.959
going to get married, and then one day she was
82
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:09.040
just disappeared and he never saw again, so fascinating life.
83
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:10.480
A lot of good in his life too, I'm sure,
84
00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:13.439
but he didn't deal effectively with these traumas and carried
85
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.360
it over to us, you know, by hitting the bottle
86
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:20.439
and then you know, being rather abusive to us. So
87
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:24.160
I dealt with that for years, and then to his credit,
88
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:27.360
he finally did kick the bottle fleet. But then he
89
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:30.000
spent the last ten years of his life essentially dying
90
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:35.480
inside of more than outside of hospitals. So I witnessed
91
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:40.079
the medical care system even as a older child and
92
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:42.720
young man. I watched my mom almost end up on
93
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:45.800
the bed next to him because she fought this medical
94
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:50.560
care system extensively for years. They were essentially experimenting on
95
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:54.680
my father with drugs and different approaches and making him suffer.
96
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:57.160
And worst of all, you know what people hear about
97
00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:00.319
medical mistakes is quite true and beyond she thought and
98
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:03.680
fought and caught so many mistakes. So I was there
99
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:05.839
with her, My sister was there with her during this period.
100
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:07.920
A lot of time. She spent the last six years
101
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:10.759
of his life in a hospital, three hospitals, really dying.
102
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:15.560
And you know, I just experienced, you know, a lot
103
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:19.800
of education slash trauma during that period as well. So
104
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:23.319
when I'm a young man at that point, I became
105
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:25.920
a very young father myself, and you know, to my
106
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:29.800
wife at that time and my credit, we did push
107
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:31.959
through and go to you know, college full time. I
108
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:33.839
went to college full time while I worked full time
109
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:36.439
and raised a baby, and so did she. And it
110
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:38.600
was a really rough years. I was super poor. I
111
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:40.959
lived in a with my wife at the time and
112
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:44.279
our baby in a studio apartment where I couldn't I
113
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:47.240
had to choose between keeping the lights on another month
114
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:50.279
or food on the table. Sometimes couldn't afford a bed.
115
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:53.360
We slept on my twin mattresses and box springs from
116
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:55.279
my youth for a while there, and mice would come
117
00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:57.160
and wake me up in the middle of the night.
118
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:00.920
Rough So, long story short on this is that I
119
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:04.360
experienced a lot of depression and anxiety in my young ears.
120
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:08.480
And there's one single factor that kept me alive, because
121
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:11.639
I had suicidal thoughts that kept me alive, and in fact,
122
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:14.920
they are the reason I'm thriving today, and that is
123
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:19.759
powerful women. Women have played this monumental role in my
124
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:22.519
life more so than than they do in all of
125
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:24.639
our lives. Of course, starting with our own mothers, right,
126
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:28.160
But in my life I have them to thank for
127
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:31.879
sitting here talking to you today, and that includes I'm
128
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:34.680
going to tear up, but I won't have a wonderful mother,
129
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:38.879
an angel of the mother still, you know, Thank goodness,
130
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:43.040
you know here with us today. A grandmother who's still
131
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:45.800
with us, she's one hundred and four years old. A
132
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:50.360
sister who is wonderful, and so on, and certain teachers
133
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:55.560
and others. They all happen to be women. So now
134
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:58.480
fast forward just a bit. So I am done with
135
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:02.759
the college and have a baby, you know, at home
136
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:04.800
and my wife, and so I need to get a job.
137
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:08.639
My first job, real job, really, I guess I should
138
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:13.519
say second real job was in communications for a company
139
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:19.360
on the other side, a pharmaceutical corporation in the pharmaceutical industry.
140
00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:22.040
I will just say that, and I will just say
141
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:27.040
this that all of people's frustrations and concerns slash fears
142
00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:30.560
about the pharmaceutical industry are largely true and beyond people
143
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:32.240
don't know the half of it. I saw a lot
144
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:35.759
in that role, and I couldn't wait to get out,
145
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:38.039
But I had to maintain in order to put food
146
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:42.240
on the table, etc. For quite some time. So do
147
00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:46.320
a little fast forwarding again, and way back when, now
148
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.000
we're talking twenty years plus ago, a doctor and I
149
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:52.440
saw what he was trying to do here, and I
150
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:56.480
started having some conversations. He's a very controversial figure. I'm
151
00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:59.440
always a bit uneasy about bringing this up because people
152
00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:02.000
love him or hate him. And who am I talking about.
153
00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:04.879
I'm talking about a gentleman by the name of Joe Mercola,
154
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:08.919
who way back then, you know, had a very you know,
155
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:12.080
small following, But I knew the message he was trying
156
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:15.159
to put out there was essentially, take control of your
157
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:18.279
own health. And this is long before folks like you know,
158
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:20.799
most folks out there, you know, who are in this
159
00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:24.240
wonderful space today where we're trying to empower people with
160
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:27.320
evidence space solutions to look feel their best lived long
161
00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:30.120
avoid disease. This long before, this was at the very
162
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:33.120
start of the Internet, I guess you can almost say,
163
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:36.720
because it really was at least the prevalence of the Internet.
164
00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:41.320
And I was with Mercola, Joe and I for four
165
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:45.240
and a half years and before I parted ways with him,
166
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:48.480
and we grew that and so I was then exposed
167
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:50.639
to during the course of all that, a lot of
168
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:55.840
wonderful health and wellness mds and practitioners who were trying
169
00:09:55.879 --> 00:10:01.120
to break free of the conventional mode. And you know,
170
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:04.159
so for years I helped others behind the scenes, and
171
00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:07.039
then as you alluded to, I became more of a
172
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:12.519
personal development brand almost myself for a while. It's called
173
00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:15.440
Intense Experiences, and did quite well with all of that,
174
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:19.639
delved more so into the emotional and mental aspect of
175
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:21.799
things and learned a lot there. Had a big best
176
00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:24.720
selling book out of that called The Nine Intense Experiences.
177
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:27.799
It's still out there today. But I was at a
178
00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:35.039
crossroads Fleet about two thousand and eighteen seventeen eighteen. I
179
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:37.799
was at a good crossroads. I can make a different
180
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:41.799
choices where I'm going to take my life, but propelled
181
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:45.799
to do one thing because I was watching Fleet as
182
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:54.039
some very pervasive nonsense myths were impacting these women who
183
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.240
had been so powerful in my own life. And these
184
00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:59.000
myths are the aging myths, and we can dive into
185
00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:02.759
that because they're one of the biggest issues out there period.
186
00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:05.320
If you were going to talk honestly about healthy aging
187
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:09.159
and longevity and so these very otherwise powerful women. I
188
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:14.080
saw these pervasive myths were negatively impacting them in a
189
00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:18.000
very physical way in some ways, the idea that getting older,
190
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:22.240
when you hit forty, it equals becoming undesirable, incapable, doomed,
191
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:25.039
suffering and disease, and you're getting you over the hill
192
00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:29.039
down you go. Now, all of those years fleet where
193
00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:33.240
I was working closely with so many different highly respectable,
194
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:36.480
wonderful mds were integrative health as they call it, and
195
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:40.559
natural health approaches trying to incorporate that I discovered the
196
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:46.000
exact opposite is the truth forties, fifties, sixties, seventies, even
197
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:50.159
beyond ought to be the best years of people's lives
198
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:54.279
from a physical, emotional, mental standpoint. So there was this
199
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:57.519
big rift, you know, and I was watching it impact
200
00:11:57.600 --> 00:11:59.960
even these powerful women in my own life, the belief
201
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:05.200
that it's downhill and the fact, based on an incredible
202
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:07.919
amount of evidence, that it ought to be the best years.
203
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:09.840
And I'm like, I know exactly what I'm going to do.
204
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:11.879
In honor of my mother, in honor of my sister,
205
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:15.159
in honor of these powerful women, I'm going to start
206
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:19.159
an organization the art of anti aging. Dot com is
207
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:21.240
what it's now called and I'm just going to put
208
00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:25.120
out all of these evidence based facts in a very
209
00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:28.799
easy to comprehend and put into action way for people,
210
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:32.200
you know, from all of my peers in the industry,
211
00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:34.559
from all of the researchers, et cetera. And that's the
212
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:37.159
start of the art of anti aging dot com. And
213
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:40.320
as you kindly noted, it's now grown to over a
214
00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:42.840
half million, you know, folks who can go there, sign
215
00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:46.039
up for our newsletter, get these these insights. And I'm honored.
216
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:49.120
I'm honored. And it's driven by by, as you can hear,
217
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:52.639
a passion and a mission. So I'm so humbled really
218
00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:54.399
to be able to reach a lot of people like that.
219
00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:58.120
Thanks for asking. Yeah, and I hope that was somewhat condensed.
220
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:01.799
Hell, you're did a great job with that. Your passion
221
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:05.399
is palpable and incredibly moving, and I'm so glad we
222
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:11.000
began there with your story. It's so powerful. And so
223
00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:13.519
you spoke about these myths that you became aware of
224
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:16.960
that were impacting these amazing women in your own life,
225
00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:21.559
and this really ignited that passion of the work you're
226
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:25.759
doing today. So and these myths become these cultural, culturally
227
00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:30.000
reinforced myths become beliefs that we internalize and then show
228
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:33.559
up in ways that are actually undermining our health and
229
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:36.080
our longevity and so forth. So what are some of
230
00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:38.759
these key if you had to name two or three
231
00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:40.840
of these myths or beliefs, what are some of the
232
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:45.000
key beliefs you feel that many of us have internalized
233
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:45.840
to our own detriment.
234
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:53.200
Absolutely well, First one to note that various research has
235
00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:55.559
been done in this area. One of the most prominent
236
00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:59.600
researchers got her name is Becca Levy, and you know
237
00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:04.120
she did research earlier in the two thousands showing that
238
00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:10.200
your perception, your belief about aging has a monumental impact
239
00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:14.279
on your physical health. In fact, those who had negative
240
00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:20.559
or embraced mentally negative stereotypes about aging had a seven
241
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:24.279
point five year reduction in life span versus those who
242
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:29.519
had more positive impression of aging. And that about nails it.
243
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:36.879
People look, feel and live look and feel less good
244
00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:40.639
than they ought to and live shorter lives than they
245
00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:46.559
ought to because of mindset in this regard. And it
246
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:49.639
is when people ask, and I know they're looking for
247
00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:53.840
dietary steps, often exercise steps, and those are super vital,
248
00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:57.080
but when people ask me what's the worst, the worst
249
00:14:57.120 --> 00:14:59.440
of the worst, or they want to hear the physical toxins,
250
00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:03.120
which is a monumentally big problem. But I will say
251
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:08.440
that's easy. It's mind set about this because it is
252
00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:14.120
so prevalent in our society. Look at any entity, Hollywood
253
00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:17.480
and other forms of media. You would think that if
254
00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:20.080
you came from a different planet, you came here and
255
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:23.120
you just watched our media, you would think that the
256
00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:26.360
vast majority of the population somewhere in their twenties, and
257
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:30.559
all the women are, of course, you know, by conventional standards, beautiful,
258
00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:34.639
and you would think that women in their forties fifty
259
00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:38.080
sixties must be a very small segment of society. If
260
00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:41.200
you just looked at the media, you know, it's a
261
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:44.799
big place that it starts, or one of the primary
262
00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:48.399
places that this myth is is pushed. I will also
263
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:53.120
tell you though, that because of this myth of aging,
264
00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:58.120
they all these big institutions that we have to be
265
00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:02.799
very cautious of, big food, big pharma, big cosmetics and
266
00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:09.240
personal care products industries. These they play and pray on
267
00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:13.919
this myth in a very massive way and take advantage,
268
00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:16.960
frankly of people and make you know untold billions, if
269
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:21.159
not trillions of dollars doing so. So it starts and
270
00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:24.440
and I always like to go very personal with people
271
00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:30.399
and just say lease in a very mindful way, in
272
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:35.879
a very unstressful way. Please truly ideally writing this out
273
00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:38.480
because we maybe we don't all know, we ought to
274
00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:41.000
all know that by writing it out. Doesn't matter if
275
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:43.320
it sounds good on paper, that's not the point. It's
276
00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:47.159
just for you. But writing out what you really believe
277
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:52.919
getting older means and examining that closely, be honest with yourself.
278
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:57.879
Do you believe that you are meant to which biologically
279
00:16:58.320 --> 00:17:03.399
we are and chronology we're seeing you should live normally
280
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:06.880
past ninety seven? You should? You should even if you
281
00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:09.480
do many things, not all things even, but many things right,
282
00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:13.599
you should. So those are the years maybe late eighties
283
00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:17.480
nineties worth where truly you might start slowing down. And
284
00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:20.680
then of course in the nineties you will start slowing down.
285
00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:23.440
It's almost inevitable. But you ought to live even past that. Okay,
286
00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:26.799
But the question is that you ought to ask yourself,
287
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:29.640
what do I believe you know? Being forty fifty sixty
288
00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:33.920
seventy eighties means? What does that mean does that Do
289
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:42.079
you believe that means vibrancy deeply and the best years
290
00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:46.119
of your life? Or do you embrace the myth And
291
00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:49.160
there's no judgment here, but do you embrace the myth
292
00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:52.599
to some extent that it's time for you to start
293
00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:59.680
slowing down? Looking unattractive, feeling less energetic, getting sick is
294
00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:05.240
more common. Those are all not true, But it's very
295
00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:09.759
important to assess your beliefs on that because you cannot achieve,
296
00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:16.759
honestly any other step if you have this massive internal
297
00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:21.599
emotional block in your way. You could do the best
298
00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:25.119
diet of all time, exercise your butt off, avoid every
299
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:28.319
physical toxin out there, so on and so forth. If
300
00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:32.880
you have that belief, your belief is telling your brain
301
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:37.039
time to die, Time to start dying now, haha. Party
302
00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:40.920
Stor says over the hill, on all these napkins and balloons,
303
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:44.839
And how much do you really embrace that? It's not true.
304
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:47.799
I will swear by that to everybody and again at
305
00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:50.720
the art of anti aging, just like you here we
306
00:18:50.839 --> 00:18:54.079
try to share with people facts that that is not
307
00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:58.599
true at all. You really don't need to slow down
308
00:18:58.680 --> 00:19:02.079
until again, perhaps as perhaps and here I might be
309
00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:05.039
being a little too liberal, but perhaps your later eighties.
310
00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:08.680
Certainly I would say your nineties. But even then you
311
00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:11.319
ought to live about one hundred and seven years old.
312
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:15.000
If we do many things, not all things, just many things, right.
313
00:19:16.759 --> 00:19:21.039
Wow. Well, you know, I've been involved in mind body
314
00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:23.640
work most of my adult life. I've become a meditator
315
00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:27.359
in my late twenties or maybe mid twenties, and you know,
316
00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:30.759
but I have to admit that, and today I'm really
317
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:33.440
focused on optimizing my health and well being in my
318
00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:37.839
mindset around aging. I'm seventy four, so it's become ever
319
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:41.599
more important. But even up until you know, recent years,
320
00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:43.759
I have to admit I would you know, I would
321
00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:47.319
sometimes hear myself saying things like, you know, youth is
322
00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:50.240
wasted on the young, Getting old sucks, things like this.
323
00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:53.559
You know, you know I had allowed those those ideas
324
00:19:53.559 --> 00:19:56.680
about aging to influence me. One thing that did help
325
00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:01.200
me was over the past decade. You know, you're something
326
00:20:01.400 --> 00:20:04.920
like sixties and new forties, seventies, a new fifty, and
327
00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:07.920
you know, I started embracing that, and that was kind
328
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:11.119
of a helpful meme. And I started embracing that I'm
329
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:13.839
really focused on optimizing my health and wellbeing, and I
330
00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:15.759
go to a whole routine not only in terms of
331
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:18.680
body mind work in the morning, but also some affirmations
332
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:21.519
around Instiningra said one hundred and seven. Mine is one
333
00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:25.279
hundred and eight healthy, wealthy, enlightened, thriving and serving. And
334
00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:29.319
I'm doing that little manto right to envision the possibility
335
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:33.240
of living a long life and while being healthy and
336
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:38.119
prospering and serving and you know, having a meaningful life, right.
337
00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:42.480
So I'm really glad that I've embraced that. But you
338
00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:45.000
know what you're talking about the power of these beliefs.
339
00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:47.440
This is what the summit is all about. And we
340
00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:51.279
know we've known this for a long time. Psychologically, we
341
00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:55.880
know it neurobiologically. Did our beliefs, whether their conscious or unconscious,
342
00:20:55.920 --> 00:20:58.839
really drive how we interpret life, how we and how
343
00:20:58.880 --> 00:21:01.160
we show up in life, and the results we create
344
00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:04.720
for ourselves in life. So it's just critically important. So
345
00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:09.599
once one sort of awakens to the untruth of these
346
00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:13.200
myths and that we can live a long, healthy life,
347
00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:16.359
you know, by doing a few of the right things
348
00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:22.680
and embracing healthy lifestyle and natural solutions to deal with
349
00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:26.880
issues we may have to deal with, and then you
350
00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:29.559
kind of open up to that world. There's this plethora
351
00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:32.920
of information today. I mean before you back back before
352
00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:35.799
the Internet, there was very limited information and it was
353
00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:39.400
curated by big Farma and big food, et cetera, et cetera.
354
00:21:39.440 --> 00:21:42.680
So we got limited information. Today there's just this plethora
355
00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:45.279
of information, and it's all over the map, and it
356
00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:49.119
can be very confusing, and some of it's accurate and
357
00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:52.519
some of it's maybe not so accurate, and and a
358
00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:55.480
lot of promises and so forth. So how do we
359
00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:58.359
filter this and find our way through? I know, going
360
00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:01.039
to your art of anti aging dot com website is
361
00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:02.920
one good place to start, But other than that, what
362
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:05.480
kind of filters do we use to find our way
363
00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:09.680
through to maybe an accurate signal on the real truth
364
00:22:09.720 --> 00:22:12.279
around things that can help us enhance our well being
365
00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:16.319
and age in a healthy way and both longevity and
366
00:22:16.359 --> 00:22:16.920
health band.
367
00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:22.240
Yeah, well that's either your event or Ryan that's it. No, nothing,
368
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:27.079
I'm kidding. But your event is a great start. And
369
00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:31.519
the word trust comes to mind. I do hope as
370
00:22:31.559 --> 00:22:34.559
many people have embraced them. I'm doing this for the
371
00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:38.559
right reasons and so trust is important. However, a step
372
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:40.559
before then, let me go two steps before that. To
373
00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:44.440
answer that question, you brought up something regarding yourself, which
374
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:47.240
I appreciate you opening the door on yourself like that,
375
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:52.039
and it is one of the most fascinating and important
376
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:56.359
aspects to understand about ourselves. We tend to believe, and
377
00:22:56.400 --> 00:23:00.519
we have Frion's believed that our brain controls us, right,
378
00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:04.680
and only in recent years doing a lot of really
379
00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:08.319
cool research, fascinating research, has it come to really strong
380
00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:11.720
light that just as much we have to be in
381
00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:14.720
control of our brain. It's the old brain is best friend,
382
00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:18.359
worst anime thing, right, and the brain can really do
383
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:22.079
some severe damage to you if you let it. The
384
00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:25.240
beautiful thing is that there are so many ways to
385
00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:27.720
you know, and it's it's kind of weird talking about
386
00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:29.839
this when you think about it, because you know, using
387
00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:34.119
your brain to control your brain obviously it's our executive function,
388
00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:40.279
but for the sake of conversation, to grab more control
389
00:23:40.359 --> 00:23:43.519
over your brain through many means that you teach and
390
00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:46.960
have taught really well. It's say, you know, modern forms
391
00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:50.319
as well as traditional of meditation, even nature walking are
392
00:23:50.359 --> 00:23:53.799
so important to center yourself get away from this mass
393
00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:57.160
and true epidemic of chronic stress. That that you know,
394
00:23:57.319 --> 00:24:01.079
messes with our brains, our health, our lives, and stops us.
395
00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:05.200
So that's a huge one. But it's important to get
396
00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:08.880
control of your brain. I used to think that things
397
00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:13.440
like affirmations are a bunch of fluff, and now there's
398
00:24:13.519 --> 00:24:19.319
a lot of evidence on affirmations, simple affirmations, because what's
399
00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:21.480
going on. You're telling your brain this is the way
400
00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:24.759
it is, and you and your brain saying, oh, okay,
401
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:30.680
you know, so why simply getting a firm grasp of
402
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:35.079
your own beliefs about what aging means, and it's a okay.
403
00:24:35.359 --> 00:24:39.160
In fact, it's likely if you discover you have negative
404
00:24:39.839 --> 00:24:43.279
impressions of what getting older means, it's okay. And most
405
00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:46.240
people do I still do you noted? You do? Right?
406
00:24:46.599 --> 00:24:48.920
So this is not a one time deal. You routinely,
407
00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:51.440
you know, try to visit that and then just one
408
00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:54.799
of many ways is simply to write out the truth.
409
00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:59.000
Getting older to me means these are going to be
410
00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:00.880
the best years of my life, These are going to
411
00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:03.119
be the healthiest years of my life. If I have
412
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:06.039
a health condition, I am going to improve. This once
413
00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:08.839
sounded like fluff to me until I dug in and
414
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:11.079
realized and a lot of research has been done on
415
00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:14.759
this that these are telling your brain, I'm in control,
416
00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:16.400
and this is how it's going to be, and it's
417
00:25:16.440 --> 00:25:19.680
going to be wonderful. My health is going to improve,
418
00:25:20.119 --> 00:25:23.279
you know, physically, emotionally, mentally. So that's a very important
419
00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:26.319
thing to note in context of the question you're asking me,
420
00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:29.640
because there is a lot of health noise out there
421
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:34.200
and there, and as long as we are susceptible to
422
00:25:34.640 --> 00:25:39.000
our emotions, our thoughts owning us and controlling us and
423
00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:44.319
whipping us around, all of these institutions will be able
424
00:25:44.359 --> 00:25:49.279
to maintain this invisible, sometimes visible excuse me, visible, but
425
00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:53.720
most often invisible control of us. The grocery store industry
426
00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:56.880
will be able to, you know, push our choices without
427
00:25:56.960 --> 00:25:59.519
us knowing it, to certain things at certain levels on
428
00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:01.920
the shelf, with the pretty music that we're not thinking
429
00:26:01.920 --> 00:26:04.720
about playing for a reason in the background, and so forth.
430
00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:07.240
The drug industry will continue to do what it does
431
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:11.359
and make so many people believe drugs are healthcare, et cetera.
432
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:16.440
If we are susceptible to that, and we're susceptible to that,
433
00:26:16.559 --> 00:26:21.119
when our emotions are not in our control, there's no
434
00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:24.920
bad emotion or good emotion it's simply about do you
435
00:26:25.079 --> 00:26:28.440
recognize and more so own them or are they owning you.
436
00:26:28.559 --> 00:26:34.119
So when we're susceptible, that is when all this noise
437
00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:40.519
and all the infinite now amount of health information can
438
00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:43.680
harm us. And it does. I've seen it. And it's
439
00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:46.640
also one of the biggest issues out there now. There
440
00:26:46.759 --> 00:26:51.880
is this overwhelm of health advice. I'm putting quotes surround
441
00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:58.519
that from every quarter today, you know, blogs, podcasts, social media,
442
00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:03.440
especially TV magazine, still so and so forth right, And
443
00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:07.319
this is a problem. This is a big problem when
444
00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:11.960
you are susceptible, because whoever words something well or catches
445
00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:15.319
your eye with the right image, or you know, works
446
00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:17.720
on your emotions in a certain way, we'll grab your
447
00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:21.839
attention and you'll be a passive consumer and you will
448
00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:24.920
possibly say, man, that sounds really good, you know that
449
00:27:24.920 --> 00:27:27.720
that supplement with ABC including by the way, a bunch
450
00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:30.440
of synthetic junk in it sounds like it's going to
451
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:33.680
be a huge difference in my life and out. And
452
00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:35.759
you get sucked in, and you get sucked in, and
453
00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:40.720
social media is designed to suck you in and never
454
00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:42.960
let you go and keep you clicking and scrolling and
455
00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:46.880
scrolling forever, including so much of it about health advice
456
00:27:46.960 --> 00:27:51.279
quoting quote unquote again so again, when it starts with
457
00:27:51.759 --> 00:27:56.720
just like everything starts with having that ownership of your emotions,
458
00:27:56.920 --> 00:28:01.559
be they you know, stress or Joe, or any emotion
459
00:28:01.720 --> 00:28:06.160
at all, having that ownership, which is why your event
460
00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:08.599
is so wonderful, because it's so much about that right
461
00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:13.559
and and that ownership. Therefore, you know, you're able to
462
00:28:13.720 --> 00:28:18.079
see and properly, Let's put it that way. You know,
463
00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:20.160
from the heart as well as your mind, you're able
464
00:28:20.200 --> 00:28:25.519
to see far more properly and make informed choices that
465
00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:29.000
are truly good for you long term, not little dopamine
466
00:28:29.039 --> 00:28:33.119
hit you know type of choices, but long term choices.
467
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:38.640
You're able to detect who can I trust? What organizations
468
00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:41.519
can I more so trust? Wait a minute, you know
469
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:45.359
which ones I better back off and check out? You
470
00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:48.599
know what else has this organization put out? You're better
471
00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:53.440
able to make informed choices. Is this based on a
472
00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:57.759
variety of different experiences and evidence or are they really
473
00:28:57.960 --> 00:28:59.440
just about trying to sell me something?
474
00:28:59.519 --> 00:28:59.680
You know?
475
00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:04.240
By Night's short term here, you know that that is
476
00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:07.720
the most vital aspect to cut through the noise is
477
00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:11.839
to have no noise inside of yourself that's clouding your view.
478
00:29:14.759 --> 00:29:19.319
What if transformation isn't just about thinking differently, but feeling differently.
479
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:22.680
Science shows us that true change happens when we align
480
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:26.279
not just our minds, but also the neural networks in
481
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:29.880
our hearts and guts. This heart mind connection is the
482
00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:34.200

497
00:30:34.680 --> 00:30:37.640
I'm really glad that you're you know, you're expressing both
498
00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:41.359
doing that work to clarify what what bleiefs am I holding?
499
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:45.440
And you know, seeing where obviously if they're negative beliefs,
500
00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:47.640
knowing that they're going to have this impact, so working
501
00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:50.279
to kind of deconstruct those and create positive beliefs. But
502
00:30:50.319 --> 00:30:53.640
also this sense of agency because we've all been trained.
503
00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:55.880
Anyone who grew up in the post World War t
504
00:30:55.920 --> 00:30:59.359
where Baby Boomers and beyond then the millennials and the
505
00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:04.920
generation and ze everyone in this has been indoctrinated their
506
00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:08.279
whole lives to become passive consumers. We've all been trained
507
00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:11.200
to be passive consumers. And so the question will be, well,
508
00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:13.319
where can I get the right information? Just tell me,
509
00:31:13.319 --> 00:31:15.039
appoint me to where I can get the right information,
510
00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:18.000
which is still kind of a passive consumer approach. So
511
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:21.000
I really do think we all have to embrace that agency.
512
00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:21.440
Now.
513
00:31:21.440 --> 00:31:24.400
I've developed a number of sources that I trust, that
514
00:31:24.480 --> 00:31:28.519
I know that are sources of various health information and
515
00:31:28.599 --> 00:31:32.119
products and so forth, and I know they have integrity
516
00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:35.119
I know their evidence bace, I know, and at the
517
00:31:35.160 --> 00:31:37.920
same time they don't always agree. So I realized I
518
00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:40.119
still have to kind of do my own research. I
519
00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:42.920
have to, you know, work with my own body and
520
00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:45.720
my own mind and try this and try that, so
521
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:47.920
I can I can come up with a sphere of
522
00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:50.880
sources that I, you know, more or less trust because
523
00:31:50.920 --> 00:31:53.640
I trust they're doing good work, they have integrity. I
524
00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:55.880
still have to do my work to figure it out.
525
00:31:55.960 --> 00:31:59.400
There's no way around. If we really want to, you know,
526
00:31:59.559 --> 00:32:03.079
have the health and longevity that we're talking about, we
527
00:32:03.200 --> 00:32:05.759
have to embrace this quality of agency. So I'm really
528
00:32:06.519 --> 00:32:11.200
appreciating that you're emphasizing that, you know, your work is
529
00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:17.400
emphasized both natural solutions, natural products, and evidence based and
530
00:32:18.279 --> 00:32:21.400
I think that's just so important. And I wonder if
531
00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:25.440
you could talk about what you really mean by evidence
532
00:32:25.440 --> 00:32:28.599
based products and how do we know how do we
533
00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:33.160
extinguish the evidence based strategy solutions and products that are
534
00:32:33.160 --> 00:32:36.240
out there versus things that maybe sound good, have a
535
00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:39.799
lot of marketing behind them, but have not really been tested.
536
00:32:41.799 --> 00:32:44.440
Yeah, my mind just shot five different directions that I
537
00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:47.000
want to answer that question. That's a great question, and
538
00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:51.880
you know, first, let me note what you brought up
539
00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:57.440
again your previous answer, that you have a lot of
540
00:32:57.559 --> 00:33:01.039
sources that you have worked your self to find that
541
00:33:01.079 --> 00:33:03.200
you can trust. It's a wonderful thing to be able
542
00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:05.519
to find someone I hope like me and certainly like
543
00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:09.279
you for other people, because if you have enough trust,
544
00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:12.720
then you can check out what I have done all
545
00:33:12.759 --> 00:33:15.079
of this research on and what you have done this
546
00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:18.480
research on. And I will say this eight times out
547
00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:22.839
of ten. You know, you everyone listening, you know, may agree.
548
00:33:23.279 --> 00:33:26.960
It's okay not to agree. Sometimes it's okay if you
549
00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:30.640
recommend a product or something fleet and you know, nine eight,
550
00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:32.640
nine times out of ten people love it. But some
551
00:33:32.680 --> 00:33:35.640
people might not because we are different, of course, but
552
00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:38.720
that's no reason not to trust. We all know that.
553
00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:46.319
And regarding knowledge and natural health and evidence based the
554
00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:51.440
beautiful thing is that we have now we collectively, you know,
555
00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:56.519
as this research community, have a pretty clear line in
556
00:33:56.839 --> 00:34:00.240
on all of the most essential steps that people need
557
00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:03.480
to take to look the other best avoid disease, even
558
00:34:03.519 --> 00:34:06.799
overcome any disease, and live long. We have a pretty
559
00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:11.320
clear view. We're at the point now where you know,
560
00:34:11.360 --> 00:34:13.599
there's a lot of fine points, and there will be
561
00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:16.320
new discoveries forever, right, I mean, of course, and that's
562
00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:19.440
a wonderful thing. And there's a lot of fine point disagreements.
563
00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:23.280
I see a lot of arguments erupt over small points,
564
00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:26.679
and I'm like, okay, well that's fun for you, fine,
565
00:34:27.079 --> 00:34:29.519
but I hope you're taking the big step and encouraging
566
00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:32.280
others to take the big step behind that. Should you
567
00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:34.719
eat olive oil? And how much is it bad? Or
568
00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:36.840
you know, things like that. It's just like, that's kind
569
00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:39.800
of missing the point. The point is, you know, you
570
00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:43.920
take the big essential steps and you'll be okay if
571
00:34:43.960 --> 00:34:46.639
you're if it's not great to eat olive oil, but
572
00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:48.480
you should be, or you should be but you're not.
573
00:34:48.679 --> 00:34:51.280
You'll be okay if you're taking you know, the bigger
574
00:34:51.320 --> 00:34:56.800
picture steps. So about evidence, Well, again, I have been immersed.
575
00:34:56.840 --> 00:35:00.559
I'm a geek. I'm a geek. I I actually joy
576
00:35:00.800 --> 00:35:04.000
white papers and all this dense research, and I have
577
00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:08.519
enjoyed it for decades now. And I can state that
578
00:35:08.800 --> 00:35:13.440
I would never believe even most of the so called
579
00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:20.880
research studies related to anything pharmaceutical, because you dig into
580
00:35:20.920 --> 00:35:24.840
that research and you will often, if not almost always,
581
00:35:24.920 --> 00:35:28.960
find out that it's funded directly or indirectly by the
582
00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:33.400
pharmaceutical company or companies that benefit from it. I'm very
583
00:35:33.440 --> 00:35:38.840
skeptical of research that taut's a specific brand of food
584
00:35:39.800 --> 00:35:43.960
for the very same reasons. However, there are wonderful people
585
00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:48.800
in research institutions, and they're a vast minority doing research
586
00:35:49.199 --> 00:35:53.000
on things come to mind like herbs and spices and
587
00:35:53.119 --> 00:35:58.800
vegetables and fruits and exercise that have no gain, no connection.
588
00:35:59.760 --> 00:36:02.559
And I'm like, well, man, i am so happy these
589
00:36:02.559 --> 00:36:05.440
people still exist. They're not getting big funding, they're not
590
00:36:05.519 --> 00:36:07.199
in it for any money, unlike a lot of the
591
00:36:07.239 --> 00:36:10.719
researchers who are funded by you know, pharma, for example.
592
00:36:11.440 --> 00:36:14.719
And so you have to be able to determine source
593
00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:18.079
of information when you're looking at things, and intent is
594
00:36:18.119 --> 00:36:23.679
a huge one, and you know with that research is
595
00:36:23.719 --> 00:36:26.360
exactly what it's, you know what it states. You know,
596
00:36:26.400 --> 00:36:29.000
if there's one study showing something, and then what type
597
00:36:29.039 --> 00:36:32.679
of study and the extent of you know, that study.
598
00:36:33.519 --> 00:36:35.880
If there's one study, it's suggests something pretty good. If
599
00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:38.239
there's ten, it's suggesting something really good. If there's one,
600
00:36:38.280 --> 00:36:41.920
hundreds or thousands, you better believe it. And then the
601
00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:46.320
ultimate wonderful litmus test, and what does antiquity say about it?
602
00:36:46.440 --> 00:36:48.840
Because here's a beautiful thing I've seen over the decades,
603
00:36:49.480 --> 00:36:54.840
so many concepts from antiquity, from ancient forms of medicine,
604
00:36:55.559 --> 00:36:59.000
all of a sudden become all the rage because science
605
00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:03.559
showed what it's true. They were right for the most
606
00:37:03.599 --> 00:37:10.000
part about this stuff. Whatever it may be. Termeric, you know,
607
00:37:10.119 --> 00:37:14.320
certain fruits omla or Indian gooseberry comes to mind. I mean,
608
00:37:14.519 --> 00:37:22.440
so many different things that different cultural medicine institutions embrace
609
00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:27.079
for eons. Then when you see studies start showing they
610
00:37:27.079 --> 00:37:30.400
were right, you could pretty much be sure, Hey, they're
611
00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:35.079
onto something there. I brought up Indian gooseberry. Indian gooseberry
612
00:37:35.119 --> 00:37:39.519
omla is is highly embraced and has been for eons
613
00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:43.079
in the Aravateic medicine culture. This is just an example
614
00:37:43.119 --> 00:37:47.119
for folks, and it's it's not on the radar. I mean,
615
00:37:47.400 --> 00:37:49.079
many people listening here right in ar gonna be like,
616
00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:50.920
what are you even talking about? What is an Indian
617
00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:53.760
gooseberry omla? Well, it's a it's a it's a sour
618
00:37:54.000 --> 00:37:58.119
it's a sowerberry. It's hard to eat because it's so sour,
619
00:37:58.280 --> 00:38:03.760
so astringent, but it is simply sky high in antioxidants,
620
00:38:03.760 --> 00:38:06.960
including for example, vitamin C and others that have a
621
00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:13.320
massive positive impact excuse me on inflammation. It's great consuming
622
00:38:13.360 --> 00:38:16.480
it internally, it's great consuming it on your skin, where
623
00:38:16.480 --> 00:38:19.239
it boosts collagen levels and more in your skin, and
624
00:38:19.280 --> 00:38:21.639
you know, leads to much better looking skin and so forth.
625
00:38:21.679 --> 00:38:24.920
This is just one example I'm talking about, is that
626
00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:28.719
when antiquity, you know, when ancient times embrace something and
627
00:38:28.760 --> 00:38:31.480
then science digs in and says, yep, yep, yep, yep,
628
00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:35.960
you can be pretty don't sure the evidence can be
629
00:38:36.039 --> 00:38:38.639
trusted on that thing. And that's the kind of evidence
630
00:38:38.679 --> 00:38:42.440
I like to put out their most still fault absolutely.
631
00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:49.679
And I know you've you've spoken a lot about the
632
00:38:49.800 --> 00:38:54.320
toxins that can really lead to disease and impact our lives.
633
00:38:54.360 --> 00:38:58.679
And now you're both both toxins that could be in
634
00:38:58.679 --> 00:39:03.239
the environment and the food, but also mental toxins, and
635
00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:05.960
so I wonder if you could talk about a little
636
00:39:05.960 --> 00:39:08.320
bit about that so that we can kind of see
637
00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:11.280
what we're up against and then how we can embrace
638
00:39:11.480 --> 00:39:16.880
a lifestyle and choices that are going to maybe limit
639
00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:20.119
our exposure to toxins, but also then get some of
640
00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:24.360
the anti toxins and the nutrients that can override that
641
00:39:24.480 --> 00:39:26.840
exposure that we have, right.
642
00:39:27.519 --> 00:39:32.559
Great question again, so well, certainly incorrect beliefs about aging
643
00:39:32.639 --> 00:39:37.000
are a massive mental talks toxin, there's fire, there's more,
644
00:39:37.199 --> 00:39:41.000
you know, there's a lot more in fact, again spreading
645
00:39:41.480 --> 00:39:47.679
concept out wider. You know, so many people rightfully pay
646
00:39:47.719 --> 00:39:54.000
close attention to insights about healthy diet and healthy exercise choices,
647
00:39:54.039 --> 00:39:57.639
for example, and the big issues out there, the big
648
00:39:57.760 --> 00:40:03.119
problems regarding poor di that are so pervasive, and lack
649
00:40:03.159 --> 00:40:06.880
of exercise, sitting too much, those are not really problems.
650
00:40:07.039 --> 00:40:09.679
Those are by products of the big problem. And the
651
00:40:09.719 --> 00:40:14.840
big problem really is mental slash emotional, if you will, tuxins.
652
00:40:14.920 --> 00:40:17.920
And what I mean by that is not just this
653
00:40:18.079 --> 00:40:23.679
perception of aging. We are the biggest enemy to our
654
00:40:23.719 --> 00:40:27.239
health is not out there, it's within us. It's inside
655
00:40:27.280 --> 00:40:30.239
of us, most of us, many of us to some extent,
656
00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:34.119
all of us. And that is starts with I guess
657
00:40:34.159 --> 00:40:37.280
the one word I would say is fear. If you
658
00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:45.000
don't feel very safe, including with yourself and loving with yourself,
659
00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:48.679
starting safe and loving with yourself and therefore safe and
660
00:40:48.760 --> 00:40:53.320
loving with the rest of the world. Again, you've got
661
00:40:53.360 --> 00:40:58.000
a huge barrier, and you can eat as right as possible, exercise,
662
00:40:58.360 --> 00:41:01.679
you are still bound to experience health issues that you
663
00:41:01.760 --> 00:41:06.199
should not experience. The biggest toxin of all, again, is
664
00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:10.239
kind of already inside most of us. You'll never completely
665
00:41:10.440 --> 00:41:12.679
eliminate And that's okay, that's not the point. The point
666
00:41:12.719 --> 00:41:15.920
is to become aware of it and work toward reducing it.
667
00:41:17.159 --> 00:41:20.079
A word comes to mind, forgiveness, and people hear this
668
00:41:20.440 --> 00:41:22.719
and they nod and they're like yeah, and then many
669
00:41:22.800 --> 00:41:26.159
of them ignore that concept after a short discussion and
670
00:41:26.199 --> 00:41:28.440
want to go find what's the best thing I should eat,
671
00:41:28.480 --> 00:41:32.679
what's the pill I should take. But it's huge inside
672
00:41:32.920 --> 00:41:36.880
your heart. If you don't have forgiveness for yourself, for
673
00:41:36.960 --> 00:41:41.719
something or someone else, If you don't have that, you're
674
00:41:41.760 --> 00:41:43.880
going to be hard pressed to really improve your health
675
00:41:43.880 --> 00:41:47.559
in any significant ways. These these are internal or mental
676
00:41:47.599 --> 00:41:52.000
emotional toxins that are bigger than anything else out there
677
00:41:52.039 --> 00:41:56.039
in terms of stopping you from achieving healthy aging and longevity,
678
00:41:56.079 --> 00:41:59.519
extending the length and quality of your life. So I
679
00:41:59.559 --> 00:42:02.679
want to know that now in a physical sense, I
680
00:42:02.760 --> 00:42:06.559
do want to state really make let me make this
681
00:42:06.599 --> 00:42:14.039
statement real quickly. So chronic stress and physical toxicants twenty
682
00:42:14.119 --> 00:42:16.639
years from now, thirty years from now will look back
683
00:42:16.679 --> 00:42:21.159
on these times and those two issues will be recognized,
684
00:42:21.280 --> 00:42:24.199
they're not quite enough yet, will be recognized as the
685
00:42:24.519 --> 00:42:28.840
worst issues that we face e true epidemics of our time.
686
00:42:29.679 --> 00:42:34.320
Chronic stress, anxiety and all that contributes to it. And
687
00:42:34.360 --> 00:42:40.079
then physical toxicants that are in absolutely everything we're surrounding
688
00:42:40.119 --> 00:42:43.880
ourselves with these days, from cosmetics, personal care products of course,
689
00:42:43.920 --> 00:42:47.639
foods our water, municipal water supplies which doesn't even test
690
00:42:47.679 --> 00:42:50.599
for most of them, the error especially inside homes and
691
00:42:50.639 --> 00:42:54.639
so forth. These are going to be recognized as the
692
00:42:54.800 --> 00:43:00.440
worst problems that our current society has faced. There's not
693
00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:03.559
enough awareness of either of those. So the chronic stresses
694
00:43:03.599 --> 00:43:08.360
again more so that mental emotional stress, and it starts
695
00:43:08.400 --> 00:43:11.599
with the basis of fear. You are afraid of something
696
00:43:11.639 --> 00:43:15.960
when you experience anxiety and chronic stress. And on the
697
00:43:16.079 --> 00:43:21.079
physical side that is lack of awareness. And everyone says, well,
698
00:43:21.280 --> 00:43:22.960
they're everywhere, What am I going to do about it? Well,
699
00:43:23.440 --> 00:43:25.320
you're never going to eliminate all of them. That's not
700
00:43:25.400 --> 00:43:27.639
the point. The point is there are certain areas where
701
00:43:27.639 --> 00:43:30.679
it's very important to reduce. And the beautiful thing on
702
00:43:30.920 --> 00:43:35.440
both of these fronts, the mental emotional toxins and the
703
00:43:35.480 --> 00:43:41.840
physical toxicants is just reduction of them makes a tremendous
704
00:43:41.880 --> 00:43:44.679
difference to your health and longevity, not to mention your
705
00:43:44.840 --> 00:43:47.159
energy levels and your joy.
706
00:43:48.559 --> 00:43:51.559
I'm glad you're pointing to the internal work, because I mean,
707
00:43:51.599 --> 00:43:53.760
there is so much we can do to reduce our
708
00:43:53.800 --> 00:43:57.480
exposure to toxins, physical toxins and our food, the environment,
709
00:43:57.559 --> 00:44:00.159
the water, the air, and so forth. And then know,
710
00:44:00.360 --> 00:44:05.400
healthy diet, exercise, you know, breathing, all the things we
711
00:44:05.440 --> 00:44:07.960
can do. But there's that internal work.
712
00:44:09.199 --> 00:44:09.360
You know.
713
00:44:09.400 --> 00:44:11.519
I share a bit of your experience growing up in
714
00:44:11.559 --> 00:44:14.880
an alcoholic family. Myself and so many of us are
715
00:44:14.920 --> 00:44:20.320
sitting on completely unprocessed undealt with grief, anger, even rage,
716
00:44:20.760 --> 00:44:23.639
and we haven't even started to work to get to
717
00:44:23.679 --> 00:44:27.000
where we could forgive ourselves and and this can really
718
00:44:27.039 --> 00:44:29.000
impact our lives, even if we're doing a lot of
719
00:44:29.039 --> 00:44:31.480
the right things, if we haven't done that internal work.
720
00:44:31.559 --> 00:44:34.000
So I think it's I really appreciate that you pointed
721
00:44:34.039 --> 00:44:38.360
to that to doing the work to heal, you know,
722
00:44:38.800 --> 00:44:40.960
to deal with and heal our past, whatever it is
723
00:44:41.000 --> 00:44:43.880
to be able to forgive ourselves, to forgive our parents,
724
00:44:43.960 --> 00:44:47.039
to forgive our grandparents. Now, forgiving them often means being
725
00:44:47.199 --> 00:44:49.960
getting permission to be angry, to begin with, right to
726
00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:52.480
acknowledge what really happened, to acknowledge the things that we
727
00:44:52.480 --> 00:44:54.360
should have received that we didn't, the things that we
728
00:44:54.440 --> 00:44:57.119
did receive that we shouldn't have to acknowledge those have
729
00:44:57.159 --> 00:44:58.840
our feelings about it. But then to find our way
730
00:44:58.840 --> 00:45:01.320
into forgiveness, we have to kind of clear up that
731
00:45:01.440 --> 00:45:03.760
internal environment, and then we're going to find it so
732
00:45:03.840 --> 00:45:07.280
much easier, because often even though we know about all
733
00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:09.159
the good things we need to do, we don't find
734
00:45:09.159 --> 00:45:12.719
ourselves doing it, or it's one step forward, two steps back,
735
00:45:12.840 --> 00:45:15.039
or best two steps forward, one step back, when we
736
00:45:15.079 --> 00:45:18.639
find ourselves even though we have good information, behaving in
737
00:45:18.719 --> 00:45:21.239
ways that are to our own detriment, and a lot
738
00:45:21.239 --> 00:45:23.920
of that I think is driven because we haven't done
739
00:45:23.920 --> 00:45:26.760
that internal work, and we're still dealing with so much
740
00:45:26.800 --> 00:45:31.239
internal conditioning and fear and anxiety and unprocessed grief and
741
00:45:31.280 --> 00:45:33.800
anger and so forth. So I'm really glad that you
742
00:45:33.880 --> 00:45:37.320
point to that internal work. I think it's incredibly important
743
00:45:37.360 --> 00:45:39.320
so I mean this may sound like a big challenge
744
00:45:39.360 --> 00:45:41.920
to all of us, but again it's like, if we
745
00:45:42.000 --> 00:45:45.039
want to thrive in life, it's about accepting the agency
746
00:45:45.079 --> 00:45:47.360
that we need to do our internal work, and then
747
00:45:47.400 --> 00:45:51.039
we need to get internal intelligent about how we're engaging
748
00:45:51.039 --> 00:45:53.280
in life and what we're consuming and so forth.
749
00:45:53.679 --> 00:45:58.400
Yeah, right, Well, heal your past and also heal your present.
750
00:45:59.000 --> 00:46:04.199
Not only is it last you know issues including you know,
751
00:46:04.320 --> 00:46:09.519
anger perhaps at yourself, certainly others. As you noted, it's
752
00:46:09.559 --> 00:46:16.360
also present issues often that come about fleet because we
753
00:46:16.760 --> 00:46:21.920
don't have that well control that is a big word,
754
00:46:21.960 --> 00:46:25.599
but control over our emotions versus them controlling us. Now
755
00:46:25.679 --> 00:46:28.719
here's one in a little People don't necessarily love me
756
00:46:28.840 --> 00:46:31.960
when I bring this one up, but nonetheless I believe
757
00:46:31.960 --> 00:46:34.159
it's true. And you know, again based on a lot
758
00:46:34.159 --> 00:46:40.960
of research, what I've seen is confirmation bias today, not
759
00:46:41.519 --> 00:46:43.360
for anything that happened in the past, but there's so
760
00:46:43.400 --> 00:46:47.000
many people who are very angry at the other side.
761
00:46:47.599 --> 00:46:51.480
We know this from politics. You know, it's not just
762
00:46:51.840 --> 00:46:56.320
in politics, but there is a lot of side taking today.
763
00:46:56.639 --> 00:46:57.920
I'm not going to speak for you, but I can
764
00:46:57.960 --> 00:46:59.800
tell you over the course of years and decades from
765
00:46:59.840 --> 00:47:03.039
my I haven't seen it to this level in my
766
00:47:03.119 --> 00:47:06.719
lifetime that it is today. I think I heard during
767
00:47:06.760 --> 00:47:09.000
the United States a civil war it might have been,
768
00:47:09.079 --> 00:47:13.679
you know, equitable to that perhaps, But there's a lot
769
00:47:13.719 --> 00:47:16.360
of side taking in anger and that side is wrong
770
00:47:16.400 --> 00:47:19.199
and that side is wrong, and if they don't agree
771
00:47:19.239 --> 00:47:23.519
with me, they're bad people. And that's stressful. And guess
772
00:47:23.519 --> 00:47:26.960
what that is. That's fear. That's at its very basis again,
773
00:47:27.000 --> 00:47:30.960
that is the fear we're talking about. Confirmation bias means
774
00:47:31.440 --> 00:47:37.840
you gravitate toward whatever confirms your current beliefs. That's what
775
00:47:37.880 --> 00:47:42.760
confirmation biases. And the most one of the most important,
776
00:47:42.840 --> 00:47:47.440
wonderful things we can be is students not believe that
777
00:47:47.519 --> 00:47:51.920
we know everything. And I try every single day, and
778
00:47:51.960 --> 00:47:53.800
I have little quotes to remind me to do so,
779
00:47:53.880 --> 00:47:56.639
putting my student cap on and saying I could be wrong,
780
00:47:57.000 --> 00:47:59.880
could be wrong about everything. I could be wrong, And
781
00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:02.559
it's a hard thing. It's very humbling, and it's hard
782
00:48:02.559 --> 00:48:05.920
for my ego who wants to be right. But people
783
00:48:06.039 --> 00:48:11.760
are taken advantage of because of confirmation bias. And there
784
00:48:11.800 --> 00:48:17.000
are institutions media and I'll state these by name. Fox
785
00:48:17.079 --> 00:48:20.559
news on one side, CNN and MSNBC for example, on
786
00:48:20.599 --> 00:48:23.280
the other so called side, and so forth. People get
787
00:48:23.280 --> 00:48:28.000
the idea, these are four profit institutions laughing all the
788
00:48:28.039 --> 00:48:32.960
way to the bank. By yanking people around with confirmation bias,
789
00:48:33.280 --> 00:48:37.239
we're going to make them angry even angrier at the
790
00:48:37.320 --> 00:48:41.280
other side. That's what they do. I have been inside
791
00:48:41.320 --> 00:48:45.159
of media organizations like that. That is what they do. Consciously.
792
00:48:45.199 --> 00:48:49.280
It's very profitable for these institutions who are beholden to
793
00:48:49.400 --> 00:48:52.159
all of their stockholders. That's what they're doing to you.
794
00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:56.159
So there's present anger and fear inside of us that,
795
00:48:56.320 --> 00:49:00.360
as we talked about earlier, is being manipulated for there
796
00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:03.639
and it's awareness of that kind of thing, not just
797
00:49:03.719 --> 00:49:05.599
trauma that happened in our past, but that is a
798
00:49:05.639 --> 00:49:08.880
form of trauma. Really when you think about it, watching
799
00:49:08.920 --> 00:49:12.400
the media does it never feels great? Later you don't
800
00:49:12.440 --> 00:49:15.519
watch these shows and then you walk outside, Man, that
801
00:49:15.639 --> 00:49:18.559
was refreshing and uplifting to watch the latest Fox News
802
00:49:18.639 --> 00:49:22.159
or CNN. No, it's not. And that's your body telling
803
00:49:22.199 --> 00:49:25.039
you something wrong with that. There's something wrong with that.
804
00:49:25.320 --> 00:49:28.719
Maybe I should reduce that. And if I am going
805
00:49:28.760 --> 00:49:31.960
to partake and that be very conscious of what they're
806
00:49:32.079 --> 00:49:35.800
really trying to do to me. That's a traumatic event
807
00:49:35.840 --> 00:49:37.239
as well.
808
00:49:37.400 --> 00:49:39.519
Yeah, we could do a whole other conversation, a whole
809
00:49:39.519 --> 00:49:43.079
another summit on getting out of our confirmation bias bubbles,
810
00:49:43.119 --> 00:49:45.280
I think, which you're really doing us a lot of harm.
811
00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:48.960
It's helpful to oh that the world of marketing also
812
00:49:49.039 --> 00:49:53.679
understands the psychology of confirmation bias extremely well and obviously
813
00:49:53.760 --> 00:49:56.519
makes use of that to manipulate us. So coming back
814
00:49:56.559 --> 00:49:59.480
to the need for agency, and I really loved what
815
00:49:59.559 --> 00:50:02.599
you said about having that beginner's mind, that student mind,
816
00:50:02.599 --> 00:50:04.320
that you willing to set back. Maybe I've got this
817
00:50:04.440 --> 00:50:07.280
whole thing wrong, you know, continually having the humility to
818
00:50:07.360 --> 00:50:10.599
look and take a deeper look. And really, you know,
819
00:50:11.000 --> 00:50:14.159
you know, I have a kind of a healthy scientific mind,
820
00:50:14.199 --> 00:50:17.199
of a kind of pure scientific mind. I'm really I
821
00:50:17.199 --> 00:50:18.880
want to know the truth. I'm going to keep looking,
822
00:50:18.960 --> 00:50:22.239
I'm going to keep taking an objective assessment of how
823
00:50:22.280 --> 00:50:25.280
I'm experiencing what I'm in. Having that kind of mindset,
824
00:50:25.320 --> 00:50:27.559
it's like we've all been trained. I want to we
825
00:50:27.960 --> 00:50:31.119
can somebody else do that for me? Right? That's too
826
00:50:31.159 --> 00:50:34.119
hard to work? Right? Well, then we're going to get
827
00:50:34.159 --> 00:50:36.639
what we get in a lot of those sources, even
828
00:50:36.679 --> 00:50:39.639
some of the ones that are you know, marketing the
829
00:50:39.760 --> 00:50:44.199
natural stuff, are going to be using that psychology to
830
00:50:44.599 --> 00:50:47.719
manipulate us in ways, in ways that are not really
831
00:50:47.719 --> 00:50:48.719
in our best interests.
832
00:50:49.199 --> 00:50:50.480
So let's talk.
833
00:50:50.320 --> 00:50:53.079
More about what we can do. And in line with
834
00:50:53.119 --> 00:50:55.519
this agency, you mentioned before that our brain can be
835
00:50:55.960 --> 00:50:58.639
our best friend or our worst enemy. Right, our brain
836
00:50:58.800 --> 00:51:03.760
is highly conditioned, highly programmed supercomputer. But fortunately we are
837
00:51:03.840 --> 00:51:06.719
conscious beings and we have our executive function and the
838
00:51:06.719 --> 00:51:09.519
top down part of our brain, the conscious brain, where
839
00:51:09.559 --> 00:51:14.360
we can be literally reprogramming our own brain. And so
840
00:51:15.480 --> 00:51:18.599
part of this is that we understand neuroplasticity, that the
841
00:51:18.639 --> 00:51:21.440
brain is continually growing and changing and can grow and
842
00:51:21.480 --> 00:51:24.039
thrive throughout our lifespan. And there's a lot of things
843
00:51:24.039 --> 00:51:26.599
we can do. Everything we do that helps the body
844
00:51:26.639 --> 00:51:28.599
be healthy will help the brain be healthy. But then
845
00:51:28.880 --> 00:51:32.519
with intentionality, we can also rewire the brain, rewire our
846
00:51:32.559 --> 00:51:35.000
beliefs to support all the things we're talking about here
847
00:51:35.039 --> 00:51:37.639
about health and wellbeing and longevity and health span and
848
00:51:37.719 --> 00:51:40.119
so forth. So I wonder if you could talk about
849
00:51:40.519 --> 00:51:43.920
the role of neuroplasticity in healthy aging.
850
00:51:44.599 --> 00:51:48.920
You're right right again, great question, And this may seem
851
00:51:49.000 --> 00:51:51.559
initially to contradict everything I just said, but it doesn't.
852
00:51:51.599 --> 00:51:54.079
It complements it. It's a two way stream you just
853
00:51:54.119 --> 00:51:57.840
alluded to that. What I mean is, you do need
854
00:51:57.960 --> 00:52:02.280
to address these mental emotional specs. However, by addressing the
855
00:52:02.320 --> 00:52:05.719
physical aspects, even if you don't necessarily start by addressing
856
00:52:05.760 --> 00:52:11.480
the mental slash emotional, you are building. It's like a
857
00:52:11.519 --> 00:52:15.239
workout to better be able to address the mental emotional
858
00:52:15.239 --> 00:52:17.920
and get control. What I mean is, for example, exercise.
859
00:52:18.360 --> 00:52:23.559
So if you talk about neuroplasticity and from a physical perspective,
860
00:52:23.599 --> 00:52:27.960
there's probably nothing that research shows as more effective for
861
00:52:28.559 --> 00:52:32.760
neuroplasticity for increasing the you know, essentially your brain power,
862
00:52:32.800 --> 00:52:35.840
the neurons in your brain, which is wonderful news. You know,
863
00:52:36.119 --> 00:52:38.559
twenty years ago, thirty years ago, we didn't even think
864
00:52:38.599 --> 00:52:42.880
you could do this. Many didn't at least, and now
865
00:52:43.000 --> 00:52:46.639
again science research that's not true. You certainly can to
866
00:52:46.679 --> 00:52:52.639
a physical level basically increase your brain power and capacity,
867
00:52:52.760 --> 00:52:55.760
including you know, ability to focus more. This is what
868
00:52:55.800 --> 00:52:57.519
I mean, by the way, when I say these ought
869
00:52:57.519 --> 00:52:59.440
to be the best years of your life, even physically,
870
00:52:59.519 --> 00:53:03.880
because we can do that. So exercise is shown if
871
00:53:05.039 --> 00:53:08.440
you're incapable at this point of addressing a lot of
872
00:53:08.440 --> 00:53:15.199
deep seated emotional challenges Layman's terms, go exercise, Start exercising,
873
00:53:15.440 --> 00:53:19.960
because it's working out, it's increasing your ability to properly
874
00:53:20.119 --> 00:53:24.840
think and and equip you to better think through those
875
00:53:24.880 --> 00:53:27.280
things that are stopping you. So that's what I mean.
876
00:53:27.320 --> 00:53:30.639
It's a two way street. The the a lot of
877
00:53:30.679 --> 00:53:34.119
the work that you have really helped put on the
878
00:53:34.159 --> 00:53:37.559
map and rightfully sew, and then a lot of the
879
00:53:37.559 --> 00:53:44.599
more physical approaches diet exercise certainly eliminating physical toxicans. They
880
00:53:44.639 --> 00:53:47.599
work the other way and were holistic right, and so
881
00:53:47.599 --> 00:53:50.239
it's both of these is the solution. And you brought
882
00:53:50.239 --> 00:53:53.320
that up. So I'd say, you know, if I had
883
00:53:53.360 --> 00:53:57.960
to pick one thing you know, to do to increase neuroplasticity,
884
00:53:58.000 --> 00:53:59.800
it would be exercised. But you don't have to pick
885
00:53:59.840 --> 00:54:05.079
one thing because there's many things physical exercise. There's a
886
00:54:05.679 --> 00:54:08.719
course mindfulness and meditation that's the other one thing. So
887
00:54:08.800 --> 00:54:11.400
there's not one thing. I'm cheating already because there's a
888
00:54:11.400 --> 00:54:16.760
bunch of one things mindfulness, meditation, exercise. Clearly diet in
889
00:54:16.840 --> 00:54:21.840
terms of as important what you avoid as what you
890
00:54:21.920 --> 00:54:25.360
put in. I will say on the dietary front say,
891
00:54:25.400 --> 00:54:28.400
I can go deep into any of these, and I'm passionate,
892
00:54:28.440 --> 00:54:30.440
as you can tell, and I want to. But in
893
00:54:30.719 --> 00:54:34.039
very brief you've heard this one before, and it's very true.
894
00:54:34.280 --> 00:54:39.559
Reduce those processed foods, those refined grains, the sugars, not
895
00:54:39.679 --> 00:54:42.239
on learning. Are they an enemy to your heart and
896
00:54:42.280 --> 00:54:44.880
every other organ in your body. They're a huge enemy
897
00:54:44.880 --> 00:54:47.840
to your brain and your ability to regenerate your brain.
898
00:54:47.880 --> 00:54:50.360
They're a huge enemy. I don't need to talk much
899
00:54:50.360 --> 00:54:52.079
more about that. I think that's been covered well, but
900
00:54:52.119 --> 00:54:55.519
if I do, I will. And then on the flip side,
901
00:54:56.079 --> 00:54:58.840
people say, increase vegetables and fruits, and that's true. What
902
00:54:59.000 --> 00:55:01.519
you really want to to increase. One of the things
903
00:55:01.559 --> 00:55:06.800
is antioxidants. Human beings today in this country, and probably
904
00:55:06.880 --> 00:55:09.199
I could confidently say most of the world today, the
905
00:55:09.239 --> 00:55:13.000
Western world for sure, do not eat not only nearly
906
00:55:13.239 --> 00:55:18.679
enough fruits, veggies, herbs, spices, grains, seeds, but range. People
907
00:55:18.719 --> 00:55:23.039
forget range. Range is just as important as volume, and
908
00:55:23.199 --> 00:55:27.400
people get caught fleet in a rut of eating the
909
00:55:27.480 --> 00:55:30.559
same seven eight, nine, ten different fruits and veggies and
910
00:55:30.599 --> 00:55:33.400
herbs and spices over and over and over. That is
911
00:55:33.440 --> 00:55:35.880
not doing you any good. It's not doing you bad, okay,
912
00:55:36.440 --> 00:55:39.599
but it's not doing you nearly as good as if
913
00:55:39.639 --> 00:55:44.559
you put thirty different or so fruits herb spices into
914
00:55:44.639 --> 00:55:48.480
your diet routinely. Why because they contain a wide range
915
00:55:48.480 --> 00:55:52.039
of the antioxidants and these other compounds that, since we're
916
00:55:52.079 --> 00:55:56.719
talking about brain, greatly impact neuroplasticity, not to mention a
917
00:55:56.719 --> 00:55:59.800
bunch of other health benefits in the body. So that's diet,
918
00:56:00.559 --> 00:56:03.400
and then of course sleep and I can go deep
919
00:56:03.440 --> 00:56:05.400
there too if you want, but I think we've we've
920
00:56:05.400 --> 00:56:07.599
heard that it's it's vital. I can give tips on
921
00:56:07.599 --> 00:56:12.519
that front too. And then the most interesting one for neuroplasticity,
922
00:56:12.760 --> 00:56:17.079
interesting to me, fascinating to me is exercising your brain.
923
00:56:17.199 --> 00:56:19.719
And what that means is people have heard do so do?
924
00:56:20.320 --> 00:56:24.000
How do you pronounce it? Soku? Soku? And puzzles and stuff. Okay,
925
00:56:24.320 --> 00:56:29.119
that's level one, but really, really what's important is to
926
00:56:29.199 --> 00:56:34.920
have new experiences and engage in new learning activities that
927
00:56:34.960 --> 00:56:40.119
go well beyond that challenge your brain, especially if you
928
00:56:40.119 --> 00:56:43.960
can incorporate your brain and your body with more complicated
929
00:56:44.239 --> 00:56:49.559
new learning activities good old examples, learning a new language,
930
00:56:50.039 --> 00:56:53.480
going to a dance class is wonderful. Why because it's
931
00:56:53.480 --> 00:56:56.719
a mental activity and a physical activity where you have
932
00:56:56.800 --> 00:57:02.360
to do some complicated steps. Fantastic Gardening can be really
933
00:57:02.400 --> 00:57:05.639
strong for this, especially if you're a aggressive I call
934
00:57:05.760 --> 00:57:09.039
it gardener, meeting someone who's digging a lot, you know,
935
00:57:09.159 --> 00:57:12.599
stepping around all these plants, be they vegetables, fruits, whatever,
936
00:57:13.239 --> 00:57:17.039
or our flowers. You know, gardening is great. Just engage
937
00:57:17.039 --> 00:57:20.840
in new hobbies that the more they challenge your brain
938
00:57:20.960 --> 00:57:25.119
and your body, the merrier we're seeing that not only
939
00:57:25.239 --> 00:57:28.320
is it fun and fun is vital for healthy aging
940
00:57:28.320 --> 00:57:33.639
and longevity, but it's very key to neuroplasticity.
941
00:57:34.679 --> 00:57:38.159
I wonder if we could I love the just really
942
00:57:38.480 --> 00:57:42.000
global and holistic way you've covered that that territory, and
943
00:57:42.000 --> 00:57:44.119
again we could go in the great depth in any
944
00:57:44.159 --> 00:57:48.760
of those areas, but there that there are these things
945
00:57:48.800 --> 00:57:52.280
we can do and pay attention to that will increase neuroplasticity.
946
00:57:52.519 --> 00:57:55.679
And then if we have clear intentionality, we embrace that
947
00:57:55.760 --> 00:57:59.519
sense of agency and we're using positive affirmations and other things,
948
00:58:00.039 --> 00:58:03.760
and we can we can literally reprogram our brain in
949
00:58:03.840 --> 00:58:05.880
ways that are going to support going in a direction
950
00:58:05.960 --> 00:58:08.199
we want, and we'll find ourselves less and at one
951
00:58:08.199 --> 00:58:10.840
step foward, two steps back, because our brain will start
952
00:58:10.880 --> 00:58:13.559
cooperating with us. Right, And so you point to do
953
00:58:13.639 --> 00:58:15.800
a lot of things, and again you're absolutely right. There
954
00:58:15.840 --> 00:58:20.760
is nothing that increases neuroplasticity more than exercise. I've often
955
00:58:20.840 --> 00:58:24.440
used example with people. You know, often in your gyms,
956
00:58:24.440 --> 00:58:27.280
your workout studios, they have this long row of elliptical
957
00:58:27.320 --> 00:58:31.599
machines or or or becoming bicycles and so forth, and
958
00:58:31.559 --> 00:58:33.800
then they have all the television screens up there, right,
959
00:58:34.039 --> 00:58:35.760
So get out there and get your heart pumping, and
960
00:58:35.840 --> 00:58:39.239
them your watching reality TV probably not a good idea,
961
00:58:39.440 --> 00:58:42.039
or the news probably not a good idea. Put out
962
00:58:42.039 --> 00:58:44.119
a nice nature movie or something right.
963
00:58:44.599 --> 00:58:49.519
Put on this events actually absolutely absolutely so.
964
00:58:50.239 --> 00:58:51.920
I wonder if we could talk a little bit about
965
00:58:51.920 --> 00:58:55.679
the spiritual dimension of all this. You use the term
966
00:58:55.760 --> 00:58:59.559
sacred spaces and protecting the sacred space of your body
967
00:58:59.559 --> 00:59:01.360
and your mind, and in that sense of you know,
968
00:59:01.440 --> 00:59:05.000
spirituality will mean different things to different people, but you
969
00:59:05.039 --> 00:59:09.960
know it is we can really get into the neurobiology,
970
00:59:10.000 --> 00:59:12.039
and we can get into the physicality of it, and
971
00:59:12.079 --> 00:59:15.719
we can talk about mindset, and there is some we
972
00:59:15.840 --> 00:59:18.760
all know we censor, some greater thing that we tap
973
00:59:18.840 --> 00:59:21.679
into that gives meaning, a purpose to our life and
974
00:59:21.760 --> 00:59:23.960
gives you know, kind of the wind that are back
975
00:59:24.000 --> 00:59:27.440
a little bit if we're tuned into something sort of
976
00:59:27.719 --> 00:59:31.239
deeper than just our limited, limited self, so to speak.
977
00:59:31.280 --> 00:59:33.079
So I wonder if you could talk about the spiritual
978
00:59:33.119 --> 00:59:37.280
dimension of healthy aging and longevity and this idea of
979
00:59:37.320 --> 00:59:39.920
sacred spaces and protecting sacred spaces.
980
00:59:40.360 --> 00:59:45.639
Absolutely, and it's clearly, clearly vital and it does not matter,
981
00:59:45.719 --> 00:59:50.039
like you noted, what your beliefs you know, may be
982
00:59:50.280 --> 00:59:53.079
about where we come from, if you're a member of
983
00:59:53.119 --> 00:59:57.239
any different sort of church. At the end of the day,
984
00:59:57.519 --> 01:00:02.239
it is a miracle really that we're here right at all.
985
01:00:02.760 --> 01:00:06.880
And I think many, if not most, people can identify
986
01:00:06.920 --> 01:00:09.159
with moments in their life which I encourage you to
987
01:00:09.199 --> 01:00:11.920
go back to if you've lost them, where you get
988
01:00:11.920 --> 01:00:15.960
this sense of oh, wow, I am part of this
989
01:00:16.960 --> 01:00:22.079
something much bigger things which I'm fascinated by, I'm honored,
990
01:00:22.920 --> 01:00:26.480
touched humbled by in awe of awe is a big word,
991
01:00:27.880 --> 01:00:31.880
and that have that big feeling go out at night,
992
01:00:32.159 --> 01:00:34.559
go back and lay under the stars if you're able
993
01:00:34.599 --> 01:00:36.519
to see them. To get that feeling, just go out
994
01:00:36.559 --> 01:00:40.480
in nature somewhere, you know, anything, that's just one example
995
01:00:40.559 --> 01:00:43.400
comes to mind that aspires this so called awe and
996
01:00:43.480 --> 01:00:47.360
this feeling of connection to a greater thing. And then
997
01:00:48.079 --> 01:00:51.800
you know you can also through often you know, mindfulness.
998
01:00:52.119 --> 01:00:56.679
Simply focus on your body and your being, not just
999
01:00:56.719 --> 01:01:00.320
your body, but you're being, and just realize it's amazing.
1000
01:01:00.639 --> 01:01:04.639
It's amazing on every level that you are here and
1001
01:01:04.800 --> 01:01:08.920
find ways back to that awe is so important in
1002
01:01:08.960 --> 01:01:12.039
the sense, the sense of something greater, and how amazing
1003
01:01:12.159 --> 01:01:15.440
this is. How grateful you think about that. You know,
1004
01:01:15.880 --> 01:01:19.000
we talk about miracles, miracles. It's a miracle that I'm
1005
01:01:19.039 --> 01:01:20.920
sitting here talking to you. It's a miracle you woke
1006
01:01:21.000 --> 01:01:22.760
up this morning, and that I woke up this morning,
1007
01:01:22.760 --> 01:01:24.800
and that we were born, and so on and so forth,
1008
01:01:25.239 --> 01:01:28.840
and again there's scientific basis to this that this sounds
1009
01:01:28.960 --> 01:01:32.639
fluffy to any listener. I'm a very science person, you know,
1010
01:01:33.159 --> 01:01:37.199
but there is much greater. The one thing I could
1011
01:01:37.199 --> 01:01:40.440
tell you science has found most often than anything else
1012
01:01:40.519 --> 01:01:42.480
is that we don't have the answers. It always opens
1013
01:01:42.480 --> 01:01:46.800
the door to new questions, right, and so it will
1014
01:01:46.840 --> 01:01:49.960
be because we're human and we don't have all those answers.
1015
01:01:49.960 --> 01:01:53.559
And so when you get that recognition, you also recognize
1016
01:01:53.559 --> 01:01:56.480
how sacred you are. And by you again, I mean
1017
01:01:56.519 --> 01:01:59.199
your physical body, but your entire being, your mental and
1018
01:01:59.239 --> 01:02:03.440
emotional health. For the sake of this discussion, mental emotional,
1019
01:02:03.480 --> 01:02:09.480
physical health, and really your ability to live long and
1020
01:02:09.840 --> 01:02:15.119
thrive while living long boils down to what you allow
1021
01:02:16.119 --> 01:02:21.119
into that sacred space and what you strive to keep
1022
01:02:21.159 --> 01:02:24.800
out of that sacred space, and also, to some extent,
1023
01:02:24.840 --> 01:02:26.840
what you strive to get out that might already be
1024
01:02:26.880 --> 01:02:29.400
inside of you that doesn't really belong there. We talked
1025
01:02:29.440 --> 01:02:31.840
a lot about that there are very physical toxic and
1026
01:02:31.880 --> 01:02:34.880
so that you want to eliminate, and as we discussed
1027
01:02:35.159 --> 01:02:40.079
a lot as certainly some mental emotional toxic toxins that
1028
01:02:40.119 --> 01:02:42.239
you want to get out of your body. So what
1029
01:02:42.440 --> 01:02:46.119
are you allowing into your being? What are you striving
1030
01:02:46.159 --> 01:02:49.719
to keep out, What do you need to work on
1031
01:02:50.119 --> 01:02:54.440
to potentially get out. It's a very oversimplified, admittedly, but
1032
01:02:54.880 --> 01:02:57.519
a healthy way to start by looking at your being,
1033
01:02:57.559 --> 01:03:00.599
because that is your sacred space, is this is what
1034
01:03:00.679 --> 01:03:06.320
you have dominion, is your being, and it's a gift,
1035
01:03:06.559 --> 01:03:13.559
and it's a gift and a constant work toward taking
1036
01:03:13.679 --> 01:03:17.480
the time to re establish with that fact is important,
1037
01:03:17.760 --> 01:03:20.639
which again has done through different types of mindfulness. So
1038
01:03:20.679 --> 01:03:23.559
I say to people, go out there and do nothing,
1039
01:03:24.039 --> 01:03:27.199
and it's some of the most important work you can
1040
01:03:27.239 --> 01:03:30.199
do if you just go again my example, because it
1041
01:03:30.239 --> 01:03:34.280
works for me, will wander deep into nature, layout under
1042
01:03:34.320 --> 01:03:37.079
the stars or even no stars or one star at night.
1043
01:03:37.800 --> 01:03:40.199
Do nothing. It's some of the most important work you
1044
01:03:40.239 --> 01:03:43.480
can do that will help you reconnect to that all
1045
01:03:43.639 --> 01:03:44.760
to how sacred you are.
1046
01:03:46.719 --> 01:03:49.320
Well, Brian, this has been incredibly illuminating, and there are
1047
01:03:49.360 --> 01:03:51.519
so many different rabbit holes we could have gone down
1048
01:03:51.559 --> 01:03:53.840
with you, and I could have interviewed you for any
1049
01:03:53.840 --> 01:03:56.760
one of the days of this summit. Today we're focused
1050
01:03:56.840 --> 01:04:01.400
on longevity and healthy aging, and so I want to
1051
01:04:01.400 --> 01:04:03.199
ask in a moment where people can find out more
1052
01:04:03.239 --> 01:04:04.880
about your work. But I also want to come back
1053
01:04:04.880 --> 01:04:08.239
to where you really started our conversation, that there really
1054
01:04:08.280 --> 01:04:13.280
isn't any reason, any biological reason why most of us
1055
01:04:13.360 --> 01:04:16.159
can't live well into our nineties or beyond. And not
1056
01:04:16.199 --> 01:04:18.880
only that that we cannot do that no reason we
1057
01:04:18.920 --> 01:04:21.440
can't do that in a healthy way where we're enjoying
1058
01:04:21.480 --> 01:04:24.960
our life and have quality of life into our nineties
1059
01:04:25.000 --> 01:04:27.599
and beyond. And I think that's a powerful message, and
1060
01:04:28.280 --> 01:04:30.960
that is you know, as we you know that old
1061
01:04:31.239 --> 01:04:33.760
I mentioned earlier that I've been guilty of saying that thing,
1062
01:04:33.800 --> 01:04:37.800
you know, youth is wasted on the young. Well, that's
1063
01:04:37.800 --> 01:04:39.800
based on the idea that we developed more and more
1064
01:04:39.840 --> 01:04:42.599
wisdom as we grow older. We've developed more and more discernment,
1065
01:04:42.679 --> 01:04:44.480
so it'd be nice to have the health to go
1066
01:04:44.519 --> 01:04:46.880
along with that. And what you're saying is we can
1067
01:04:47.039 --> 01:04:48.880
have the health to go along with that and be
1068
01:04:49.000 --> 01:04:53.239
vital and thriving into later years of life. So it's
1069
01:04:53.280 --> 01:04:57.320
such a powerful message and such a positive affirmation of
1070
01:04:57.360 --> 01:04:59.320
what life is all about. So thank you so much
1071
01:04:59.360 --> 01:05:02.039
for that. So where can people find out more about
1072
01:05:02.039 --> 01:05:02.519

1084
01:05:38.679 --> 01:05:42.360
we touched on you know, toxicins in so many products.
1085
01:05:42.400 --> 01:05:45.320
This includes cosmetics and personal care to an extent that
1086
01:05:45.400 --> 01:05:49.960
most people still would not believe. So that's the real
1087
01:05:50.000 --> 01:05:52.719
short story version of why I started Purity Woods, which
1088
01:05:52.760 --> 01:05:58.159
is just entirely USD a certified organic skincare as well
1089
01:05:58.159 --> 01:06:01.400
as a couple key types of supplements for healthy aging. Now,
1090
01:06:01.719 --> 01:06:05.320
supplements are also typically loaded with junk that you don't want,
1091
01:06:05.400 --> 01:06:08.320
so for that, if you're interested in go to Puritywoods
1092
01:06:08.360 --> 01:06:11.639
dot com. And yeah, thank you you did such a
1093
01:06:11.639 --> 01:06:14.000
beautiful job. By the way of summing up what I
1094
01:06:14.079 --> 01:06:16.679
had started saying at the start, that I could tell
1095
01:06:16.760 --> 01:06:21.000
that you have poured extensive heart effort yourself into this.
1096
01:06:21.119 --> 01:06:23.199
I love what you're doing here Fleet. By the way,
