People talk about diet and exercise cos they are the only things we know to be the most effective. Anyone who’s being in fitness all their lives know the quality of life they achieve compared to their peers. It wouldn’t even matter if I lost few years of life, I’d still exercise because it’s amazing for your mental and physical every day life.
Yes, Eric says this too - that it's not only about the future but about improving our quality of life today. In any case, I think moderation is key so it doesn't take over our lives. What kind of fitness do you do that feels so good? I'm curious. :)
@@existhreads Exercise doesn't actually "feel so good", but doing it (both cardio & weights) keeps me healthy.
Wanting to be a biomedical researcher more than a clinician, isn’t that true of most of us?
My mom has been sedentary her whole life, her food consists of mostly carbs and little protein and at the age of 88 she’s in great health and sharp memory.
You forgot to add that she eats junk food, smokes and drinks, right?
@@dharma__3 lol no, no smoking, drinking or processed foods.
Great interview! Interesting and Exciting stuff
stress reduction quality sleep and socialization may be as or even more important than vo2max, for example, in terms of healthspan
my mother is 93, she dose not take any pills, she was driving till 2 years ago, shs still lives alone, she never exerciced or did a partikular diate. my grandmother was 96 and still in good health, tow of my great grandmothers wer in their 90th.
Looks like you've won the gene lottery :)
Good work. Longevity is a mindset. Im 71 and work 6 days a week still working and learning Python programming.
That's so interesting. I can definitely see that having passion for what you do, being curious, feeling connected, and having something to look forward to are much more powerful in terms of healthspan and lifestpan than drinking your 'healthy' smoothies.
What do you do for work ?
I’m 72 and retired. I’m happy with the freedom I have.
Western medicine focuses on “ill care” and not “health care”. Naturopathic medicine and Chinese medicine have a different perspective.
WRong ! ❤😢.
People are more interested in biohacking because our lives are being cut short and sickened with so many deliberate toxins. The key might be a cleaner environment (as much as possible) and detoxing.
Do you think that if we eliminated all toxins, biological aging wouldn't drive diseases?
Zero principal thinking ! HE CANT SEE IT ! Most people have it WRONG . 😢.
Actually he's offering zero content other than exercise, sleep and eat well.
As Andrew Steele said in a previous episode, it seems there isn't that much we can do right now on the individual level that is backed by science. As Eric says, a lot of people are experimenting now with supplements, but we need to be aware of the risks. Also--beyond the instrumental diet-exercise-sleep-etc type of recommendations, I get the impression that living a fulfilling, connected, purposeful life can do much more than we give it credit for. And it also makes life better right now.
Better be disappointed with how 'simple' the answer is than deluding ourselves thinking there are cures out there that are safe and proven. But if you'd like a deeper dive into optimization advice, I recommend checking out this episode with Matt Kaeberlein: ua-cam.com/video/70EeohZQubU/v-deo.html and his channel Optispan.
The interviewer is awful, shut up and let the doctor talk.
Making videos longer.
