Good job, you guys.
All right, you can take a seat.
This is the neat thing about biological age testing is you of course know when you were born and therefore you know how many years you've lived.
You can look at yourself in the mirror and say, you know, I have a few wrinkles, a few spots, but actually in your body, your organs have different ages.
So your lungs are a certain age, your brain, your eyes, your ears, your gums, your pancreas, your liver, they're all different biological ages.
And it's really important to know, for example, so I'm 47.
My left ear is 64 years old.
It's because I shot a lot of guns as a kid.
I was right-handed like this with a lot of exposure to my ear, and I also listened to a lot of loud music.
And so that's really important for me to know because when you have hearing loss and you don't correct for it with a hearing aid, it can result in cognitive decline.
So this applies to all things about the heart.
And so a couple of years ago, I posed this question, are we really the first generation who won't die?
It's kind of the coolest question in existence.
What matters more than our experience, our ability to live?
And so to do this, I wanted to do an experiment.
So I measured the biological age of every organ of my body as much as we could.
We then went through the scientific evidence and we tried to reverse and or slow down my speed of aging.
And what I've been trying to do is create a sport or a new genre of what it means to be healthy.
And so I put my biomarkers out and said, basically, I have the best biomarkers of anybody in the world.
Anyone's capable of competing with me.
