I should just say, first of all, our bodies were never designed to live past age 30. I hate to say it, right? If you think about it 200,000 years ago, you were in puberty at age 12. By 13, you were pregnant before birth control was around. By the time you were 26, 27, 28, you were a grandparent.

And before McDonald's and Whole Foods was here, if you wanted to perpetuate the species and pass on your genes, you didn't want the grandparent stealing food from the grandchildren's mouths. And so lifespan was like 30 years. And so if we look at this, it's just, it is. And a lot of things, I talk about this evolutionary rationale and reason from earlier on.

Our muscle mass starts decreasing after the age of 30. Our hormone levels, right? Our thymus is gone. Our muscles begin to atrophy. All of these things. And you can and should fight it. And I do with all the efforts and all of- Exercise, all the things that you do. All those things.

When you go back to the hallmarks of aging, our stem cell population, so stem cell exhaustion is one of them, the end caps of our DNA, our telomeres, there is mitochondrial degradation that occurs. There's all of these, and I list all 12 hallmarks of aging. And then the way I built my supplements is looking at which are the supplements that can impact each of those 12 hallmarks.

And there's great science behind each of them. So like resveratrol, DHEA. So NAD, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, which is the power currency in our cells. David Sinclair did a lot of incredible work on this, and kudos to him. We have these seven sirtuins, these proteins, and the sirtuins have two functions in your cells.

One function is that they are correcting DNA mutation that we accumulate as we get older. Yeah. The other function is they keep- How do they correct a DNA mutation? So they repair it? The sirtuins are part of the DNA repair system, but they also maintain your epigenetic situation. So what do I mean by that?

When you're born, when you're 20, when you're 50, when you're 100, you have the same exact genome. Right. 3.2 billion letters from mom and from dad. Your software doesn't change. So why do you look different at 80 or 100? Why don't you have the six pack you had when you were 18? It's not the software you're running. It's what genes are on and what genes are off. It's your epigenome.
