And when I listen to your show, it's around mindsets. And as it turns out, mindset, which is connected to spirituality, yes, is one of the most powerful forces in you living a healthy, long life. It truly is. And here's the numbers. There was a study done and reported – actually, I've got it here – reported the National Academy of Sciences, right?

It truly is. And here's the numbers. There was a study done and reported – actually, I've got it here – reported the National Academy of Sciences, right?

The Journal of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, like one of the most prestigious journals. And it said in a study of 69,744 women – And 1,429 men, it's one of the only studies that had more women than men, published in the National Academy of Sciences, it was found that optimistic people lived as much as 15% longer than pessimists. Isn't that interesting? I find that fascinating.

And I do think that is true. I think that is about our mindset, our belief of mind over matter. And so, you know, people tell me you're optimistic. Yeah, I got double benefit from being optimistic. Sure. I love life. I love every minute of it.

Let me, one of the things I opened the book with that I want people to realize there's a couple of things, if I could lay these down as cornerstones. The first is you're born with 3.2 billion letters from your mom and 3.2 billion letters from your dad. And that's your software you're running. You're running it at age zero, at age 20, at age 50, 80, hopefully at 100.

You're running it at age zero, at age 20, at age 50, 80, hopefully at 100.

And so if you're running the same software, why do you look different, right? Why don't you have a six pack at 100 that you had when you were 18? And it turns out it's not the genes you have, right? We have some 20 to 22,000 genes inside of that genome. It's what genes are on, what genes are off. That is your epigenome.

We have some 20 to 22,000 genes inside of that genome. It's what genes are on, what genes are off. That is your epigenome.

It's epi from the Greek word for above, and it's controlling which genes are on and off as you age. And the control of those genes do two things. It says, okay, we're gonna turn these genes on in your skin cell, these genes on in your neuron, these genes on your hepatocyte, your liver cell. And so cell type is controlled, but also as we grow older,

And so cell type is controlled, but also as we grow older,

These genes, some get turned on that shouldn't be on, some get turned off that shouldn't be off, and that is aging. And what's been proven in the last, I say this is work done over the last five years, is that we can reverse your epigenetic age.

biological age well it's it's yeah you can call it your biological age very specifically i'm saying the epigenome like your genes are are the keys on a piano right all those genes are there and when you're playing a song you're playing certain genes and as you get older The song starts to blur and the wrong keys are being hit and such, and that's your epigenome.

And can you reverse it back where the song being played is correct? And a number of things impact our epigenome. It is your mindset, definitively mind over body. It is your environment. It is very much exercise. It's sugar. It's what you eat. It's sleep.

And so when people talk about reversing their age, right, and this is something I've been focused on doing for myself, there are a number of things that can reverse your age to a younger epigenetic age. And those are the things I talk about in the book. It is exercise, sleep, diet, the supplements and meds you take, your mindset, your habits. It sounds really expensive to take care of yourself.
