We just did not know. Go and rest. And right now what we're discovering is that it's actually your stem cells. Your stem cells are your repair system. They kick into gear and they are the cells that have kept you alive until now and have played the job of repairing any kind of injuries that you've had since the day you were born.

I mean, I'll go one step further. It's a reflection of a phenomenon that is very well documented in the scientific literature, not well studied, but well documented, is that you're born with red marrow that very quickly converts into yellow marrow, fatty marrow. By age 15, you've lost about 50% of your overall red marrow. At some point in your 30s, up to 90% of your red marrow is

And that is reflected by a decline, a corresponding decline in the number of stem cells in circulation. You just don't have as many stem cells in circulation in your 40s that you had when you were 15 or 20. So you cannot recover as fast. You cannot repair as fast. So you go to the gym, you kind of really like trash yourself.

And all these micro traumas, micro lesions will give you pain the day after. And you did not have the same experience when you were 15. You could go play like crazy all day. And the day after you could just go back and play again. You have tons of stem cells to repair overnight.

So now, and that's one of the main thing that we do is that the product we have that puts more stem cells in circulation, which you probably have experience. Now go in and trash yourself at the gym. Now release your own stem cells and you have a whole different experience the day after.

The decline is there. So far today, there's nothing that we can do about it so far. There could be some research down the road that will show something different, but there's surprisingly not a lot of research on the bone marrow. So right now, there's nothing you can do about it. The number of stem cells decline.

Aside from the plans that we have studied, the only thing that is known to put more stem cells in circulation is fasting. It has an interesting relationship because fasting will put more stem cells in circulation during the fast. But strangely enough, these stem cells are sort of more dormant during the fast.

But when you resume eating, now their ability to regenerate is almost like boosted. And if you isolate any one of these stem cells and look at their ability to migrate and differentiate and proliferate, they seem like they work like younger stem cells. So it's almost like fasting also can regenerate or rejuvenate, I should say, these stem cells.

So, so far, fasting is probably the greatest tool that we know of in terms of supporting your own stem cells. But the decline, it's just what it is. Like there's nothing you can do about it. And it's interesting because you talked about testosterone, growth hormone. I mean, there's a lot of things past 30 that turns out, if you want. Like it's really not as good as when you were 15 or 20.

And it's very interesting that if you take a step back, We have evolved over tens of thousands of years with a life expectancy of 30 years of age. I'm not saying nobody lived longer. What I'm saying is as a species, that was you're born and you know that your life expectancy is about 30 years of age. So my point is that longevity has never been selected in our evolution.
