We fasted because we didn't have access to food. We didn't have sugar. We had some fruit in our diet. But today, we're eating like 100 kilograms of sugar a year. And 100 years ago, it was like 2 kilograms a year. And before that, it was even less than that refined sugar. It is a cardiovascular inflammatory. It's a neurocognitive inflammatory, and it is dangerous for our health.

Now, I'm not saying don't eat any sugar, but it's like just starting with donuts. And I had this argument with Elon all the time. It's like, he jokes, I eat donuts every morning. I said, don't eat donuts. When you're 60, you're gonna regret that.

I think it can extend your health. So let's begin by talking about two things, lifespan and healthspan. All right, now there's a challenge here because while we're living longer, we're living, let's round up to 80, right? Most people are living the last 20 years of their life in some level of physical pain, cognitive loss, cardiovascular loss, inflammation, all these things.

So their health span, they're healthy up until 60, and then it's a decrease from there. And you have to realize that you're trading these things all the time. And so if you wanna have, I mean, my goal for myself and for those I love is to live a life where I've got the vitality, the energy, the cognition, looking good, feeling good, moving well, you know, from now through 100.

And then during these next, I'm 63 today, right? Over these next 37 years, we're going to have so many breakthroughs coming, right? Science doesn't stand still. We forget that it's moving at this exponential speed. And my job is to keep myself in the best health I can to intercept the breakthroughs that are coming that will give you the next decade and the next decade.

So most people know me as a technologist in AI or biotech or space rockets where I spent my first years. The last decade, I have been truly focused on longevity as one of the largest markets. I have a $600 million venture fund in that area and written a few books, started a number of companies. We'll talk about perhaps Fountain Life.

A few years ago, I was on stage at the Vatican to bring it back to spirituality. And so it sounds like a joke, but I'm on stage in the Vatican with a alderman, a rabbi, a cardinal, myself, And we're having the title of the panel was the morality of immortality. Interesting, right? Very. And I flipped it to the immorality of mortality. And so that was our conversation.

And the rabbi there gave this amazing historical overview of human lifespan. And he said, yes, we had Methuselah and all of these people living to 700, 800, 900 years. And then something happened where humans sinned irreparably with God. And God said, you shall have no more than 120 years. And this is in the Bible. Really?

And what's amazing is up until now, the longest lived human is 122 years old. Wow. And we have people, you know, typically these super centenarians who are making it from 110 to 120 years. And so it's interesting that the Bible actually called out 120 years. I find that pretty extraordinary. Why do you think that is? Maybe that was their experience back then. Maybe they're prophetic. Who knows?

I don't know. But I remember saying, okay, listen, if we're promised by the Bible 120 years, I'm fine taking that 120 years. Give me that 120, yeah, yeah. And then we'll renegotiate after that. So listen, spirituality, I'm gonna take it slightly different and talk about mindset, right? Because you love mindset, I love mindset. I love the work that you do.
