So to frame this, and again, I talk about this, and I'm trying to provide the construct, mental construct, to change people's belief about what's possible for them, which is the number one thing to do, because if you believe it's different, you're then going to take these next steps, which make these things different for you.

So number one, 100,000, 200,000 years ago, before birth control, right, you were pregnant at age 12 or 13. Wow. It just was the case. And we actually, puberty's moved later over these last few hundred thousand years. Number two, by the time you were 26, 27, 28, you were a grandparent. Wow. Amazing. And before food was abundant, before we had McDonald's and Whole Foods, it was scarce.

And the worst thing you could do if you wanted to perpetuate your species was stay alive and steal food from your grandchildren's mouths. So you would die. Wow. Right. So this evolutionary context is important here. And if you look at the human body, we peak in functional biological age at around 27, and it's a slow decrease. What does that mean?

It means our immune system begins to decrease in its power. We become immuno-exhausted. Our muscle mass comes down. We have sarcopenia, right? So last year, I went heads down to add 10 pounds of muscle mass, right? And working out every day, making it. Now my job is I got what I wanted. Now it's to maintain it. And I think about that a lot.

Thank you.

Thank you.

And you look amazing. Thank you. And these are creating habits in your life. Okay, so first context here evolutionarily is it's downhill after call it 30. Your hormones, your metabolism, everything is dropping because there was never any reason to maintain it. You were dead.

Second thing, so understanding that is important, that you've gotta say, I refuse to let that be the case, and I'm gonna do everything I can to change it. But you need some motivational hooks going forward. What's that? First of all, should realize that there are species of whales on earth, the bowhead whale, that can live for 200 years. That's crazy. It's amazing, right?

They have found whales with harpoons in them and been able to carbon date... Come on. Yes. That is fascinating. Isn't that amazing? Yeah. And then Greenland sharks can live to 500 years old and have babies at 200 years old. That's nuts. Yeah, it is crazy. But we're humans, we're not whales. We're not whales, we're not sharks. But the point I'm saying is that

these large mammals in case they can live that long. There's a proof case. The second thing to realize is there are people who live routinely in good neurocognitive and cardiovascular health and metabolic health till over a hundred. They're sharp, they're at work, they're capable, they're motivated. You pull up still, all that stuff. Yeah. Why can they and why can't others? There's a reason.

It's not random, right? And so we're beginning to discover that. We're beginning to discover what's the underlying metabolic, genetic, all of those things. And we now have the tools to edit those things and change them. I think that's the important, if we understand why something exists and then how to transform what you've been given to match that, we can begin to see an extension of healthspan.
