I got Brian Johnson into longevity. It's very funny.
I think that's really important because... There are very practical things. It really is an 80-20 rule. If you feel like you have to do it all to get that additional health span, right? Let's upfront say, it's not really lifespan we're talking about. It really is health span. Today, the average lifespan in the United States is call it 79, but the average health span is 63, meaning-
You're living till 79. Hopefully everybody here is going to have a vision of living well.
Yeah, fantastic.
I'm sorry.
Apologies. But the reality is that most people are healthy till 63, then there's a 16-year gap. Yes. And our goal here is can we at least move your health span up to that 80-year mark? Mm-hmm. And yeah, I believe that this is the decade of a healthspan revolution, of a lifespan revolution as well.
And half my life is in the longevity world, half my life is in the AI world, and the biggest impact is going to be coming from AI. I agree with you. We're a collection of 40 trillion cells. Every cell is running one to two billion chemical reactions per second. Mm-hmm. And there's no way for any human to understand the vastness of that, but AI can.
And we're going to be making discovery after discovery after discovery. It all begins with sleep, diet, exercise, and mindset. Dial those in first, and then get ready for an extraordinary ride in the decade ahead.
And by the way, it only works for 20% of the people who it's prescribed for.
And the biggest shift... That must have been a great line for opening up your dating conversations.
And hopefully that will change in the new administration, right? Under RFK. Yes. Um, and there's so much, it's, it's a disservice that some of my closest friends, some of my, uh, our members at Fountain Life to get advanced therapeutics need to travel outside the U S to, you know, to Costa Rica or Mexico or other places. Um, and, uh, That is all going to change.
The data is going to materialize as well as regulatory reform to support that.
Some amazing things coming. I mean, should we hit some of the basics so that coming out of this podcast, people have some actionable items right away?
But let's break them down. First on diet, if you think about your body, your genetics, what powers you...
evolved 200 000 years ago on the savannas of africa and our dna has not changed very much in 200 000 years and back then uh two things were true number one there was no sugar in the environment you had some small amount of natural fruits there was no refined sugar and the second was there you know feeding was intermediate um there was no defined gluttony of food consistently we didn't have whole foods or or mcdonald's and so um
Today, what I tell people, if you want to go on the diet front, what you can do for yourself, number one, it's cut out this poison called sugar. Refined sugar is a neuroinflammatory, a cardiac inflammatory. We just did a study at Fountain Life in which we looked at cardiac disease as a function of a bunch of things like LDL, HDL, triglycerides, LP little a, all these things you hear about.
And the number one correlant to heart disease was none of those things. It was your hemoglobin A1C. It was what was your average blood glucose levels over the last three months. And so sugar correlates with heart disease. It also correlates with obviously diabetes and correlates with neurodegenerative disease. So can you minimize that first and foremost? And- It takes a while. Sugar is addictive.
But I've trained myself to minimize that in my diet. We actually ran a no sugar challenge for 22 days that a friend of mine, Guillermo Navarrete, ran for my abundance community. And if you do it as a group, it's a lot easier to do. Whole plants, of course, everybody talks about whole plants. It is true. I'm not going to go plant versus animal protein.
I mean, minimizing sugar, whole plants, even the order which you eat your food, right? So when you're sitting down at your plate, at lunch or dinner, eat the vegetables first, which is the fiber going through your stomach and small intestines. It slows it down. It allows you to absorb nutrients. Eat your protein next. And then eat your carbs last, if you have room.
Just doing that alone will flatten your insulin curve and help you lose weight. Anyway, I mean, those are just a few small fundamentals.
