And there are ways to address it now more than ever before. Yeah. But you have to feel worthy. You have to have a life. You know, a friend, Dan Sullivan, says... you need to see a life, a future that's bigger than your past. Right? I mean, just think about that one second. If your future is bigger than your past, then I'm like, I have so much to live for.
If you think like, oh my God, my best days were behind me. It's a slow landing into the grave. You're dead already. You're dead already. Might as well live it up right now and eat everything and drink everything.
Yeah. So I'm not going to answer that.
Let's start with that. This book began as a document. People would ask me, like, what do you do? Always, right? So it's like, Peter, you look great. You're doing great, whatever. What do you do for your sleep? What do you do for your meds and your supplements? And this started as a 10-page document. It then became a 100-page longevity document. And it's become now, I think, 100 and... 80 pages.
I made it so that it was very readable and usable. And there's the longest chapter in here is a chapter on meds and supplements. Not because I think that's the most important thing that you should be doing, but because I wanted to disclose fully what I'm doing and why. So to back up one second, years ago, about 20 years ago or so, I think it was 20, there was a paper written
called the Hallmarks of Aging. And a group of scientists identified, okay, what are the nine things that are causing aging, like stem cell exhaustion and epigenetic changes and whole telomere shortening. And so they wrote up these nine things. It was updated now to a dozen things. And so these are what we believe cause aging. And I went through with my physicians.
I employ like 20 physicians at Fountain Life. I have one who's amazing, Mona Izat-Vilanov, who's my personal doctor. And there's a team behind that as part of my Fountain Life membership. But I went through and I checked my bloods every quarter, sometimes more frequently than that. And I build a protocol of what I take. And there's, I actually have five different pill packs.
One when I wake up in the morning, one in the a.m. with my breakfast, one at lunch, one in dinner, and one before I go to sleep. Listen, I guarantee you, my mom says, Peter, you're insane. How do you know those things all don't interfere with each other and so forth? I go, mom, you got a good point. And this is what I'm taking.
So, but what I wrote up in the book was every one of those supplements or meds, what are they impacting on those hallmarks of aging? What are the things that, and how are they reversing it?
We're going to be, sometime in the next three years, we're going to have the ability for an AI to take in your entire genome, to take in all of your upload data, all of the imaging data of your body, all the blood biochemistry of your body. And then it will ask you, okay, here's your input. What do you want to do? You want more energy? You want to live longer? You want more muscle?
What's your goals? What are your top three goals? And then how many pills are you willing to take? I'm willing to take five pills. I'm willing to take 75 pills. And then it will spit out an optimum supplement protocol for you. Based on you. Based on you. Is that happening right now? Is that out there? We're working on it at Fountain. Wow. And it's an area that I think is very, very doable.
The data is being collected at large scale. Wow. But today, if you went to three different doctors and gave them your data and asked them what you should be taking, you'd get three completely different answers. Oh, man. Right? But there is an optimal set for you. The next decade, the biggest impact is going to be from access to AI as your extraordinary health partner.
I mean, I can't explain how exciting it is to have this capacity and capability coming our way. So in the book, I lay out the meds, the supplements, and the why. And I think it's for everybody to evaluate for themselves. Sure. with your physician and decide where are you in your journey. If you're 25, it's very different. So you might be taking creatinine to focus on building muscle.
If you're 85, you might be taking a particular supplement to reduce your cholesterol or your blood sugar. I wrote it very much with a few provisos and like, okay, this is what I do. It's what I do. I test myself all the time. I've spoken to a dozen doctors. I've done the research and this is why I do it. You decide.
Yeah, I think there are, one thing that I do is I'm wearing a, what is it? Glucose monitor?
It's not expensive, right? You can get it from Dexcom or Abbott Labs. Inside tracker and all these things. And those are different. Insight Tracker and Lifeforce are companies that will do a quarterly blood test, right? So Lifeforce, for example, Tony and I were co-founders of that. It will run you a couple hundred bucks a year, up to 500 bucks a year, which is reasonably affordable. And
it will give you your top 40 biomarkers, right? So at a minimum, give yourself a gift of that. Understand what's going on in your body. You know, we're all optimists around our health. Let me give something that, and there's a whole chapter in here called not dying from something stupid. And let me dive into that one second. Sure. Our bodies are incredibly good at hiding disease.
If I asked you right now or folks watching, are you sure there's nothing going on inside your body to know about? 100%, are you positive? Most people truly have no idea unless you've gone through what I call an upload, right? You don't know what's going inside your body. And here's some stats. 70% of heart attacks. have no precedent. There's no chest clutching or no shortness of breath.
Even if you got what was called a calcium score, have you ever gotten a calcium score? Okay, a calcium score has been for a few decades the most popular cardiovascular test. It's looking at a CT of your heart, looking for calcium. But calcified plaque in your coronary arteries, coronary arteries are the arteries that feed the muscle of the heart.
If you block a coronary artery and it deprives the heart tissue from glucose and oxygen, the heart tissue dies and you have a heart attack. And if enough of it dies, you're dead. Wow. Right? So when people talk about a coronary disease or heart attacks, that's what we're talking about. We're talking about the blood vessels feeding the muscle of your heart being blocked.
