Your thyroid gland controls how much energy you have.

So you're going to be tired all the time, be a low thyroid.

You're going to be tired all the time, eat a lot of oxalates for a lot of years.

Darkness at night and sunlight in the morning.

It is critically important that you sleep in a blacked out room.

That alone can shift the needle for longevity.

Everything you just listed works if you do it right.

You know, I did it this morning.

I'm kidding.

Well, I did try all the crazy things.

I was a vegan.

I shattered three teeth and gave myself allergies.

And I tried the old, old keto diet that lets you lose half your weight and then you get plateaued.

I tried everything.

And it was only out of desperation that I really went in and did the research on mitochondria.

and came up with this idea for putting butter and MCT oil in coffee that created a whole movement of biohacking.

In my 20s, I was so fat and sick, arthritis and chronic fatigue syndrome and a bunch of other stuff.

So I started hanging out with people three times my age in Palo Alto at a longevity nonprofit group.

So I'm learning from people three times my age.

And we learned about MCT oil a decade before anyone heard about it and said, oh, look, this gives you extra energy in your cells.
