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.
And the control of what genes should be on and which genes should be off is driven by these seven sirtuins. And as we get older, the sirtuins are having to correct DNA damage and keep us from having epigenetic drift. And they are powered by something called NAD+. If they don't have enough NAD, and the NAD in your cells drops by over 50%, as you age.
And so when David and others talk about NMN or NR as a supplement, that is the precursor to NAD. Yeah, you can't really take the NAD orally.
You can, but it doesn't even get into the cell that way. You want a precursor like NMN or NR that crosses the cell surface and gets converted to NAD. The supplements and meds I take are to address those hallmarks of aging. And the science is there. I present it. But I'm very clear. Listen, this is what I do. This is why I do it. Do the research yourself. Find a physician. And start incrementally.
My mom still says to me, Peter, how are you sure those things all don't interact with each other in the wrong way? So mom... I don't know. I don't know. Honestly, I don't know.
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's ultimately, that is ultimately, you know, do you look good? Are you thinking clearly? Are you moving well? Are you enjoying life? You know, one of the best pro longevity things I've ever done is having kids at 50. Wow. All right. So two boys at 50, they're 13 now.
And a lot, you know, when I go to sleep every night, one of the things I do as a part of my practice is what are my three favorite memories from the day? What am I grateful for? And almost always it's around them. It's not some deal I closed or some investment I made. Yeah, that's so cool.
I'm scared shitless for my 13-year-olds about AI girlfriends.
Yeah. but uh you're so so right i mean human touch you know i have my community my favorite hug dealer hug dealer t-shirt and which i'm not sure if it's socially acceptable now to have that but it's like yeah yeah just i mean it's like who cares it's like yeah just a Give someone a hug and breathe deep with them and just say, thank you for being in my life. It's a beautiful thing.
These are the fundamental elements of life.
So longevityguidebook.com will give you a whole bunch of resources and a deep discount on the book. Mm-hmm. Please use this book, even if you just pick one chapter to focus on. My goal is to get this information out there. You have control over every aspect of your health. Take, you know, be the CEO of your own health. It's so truly important.
You go to Fountain Life, fountainlife.com to learn more about those offerings. And I hope people will take advantage of it. uh my podcast is called moonshots moonshots yeah and i've had the pleasure of interviewing elon a couple of times and eric schmidt a whole bunch of ai experts a number of folks in the longevity space yeah i'm focused on who's taking the biggest shots in the universe who's
open for, you know, impacting the world at a tremendous level. Yeah. And I need to have you on my Moonshots podcast. Yeah, I'd be happy to be on there. I mean, I'd be honored to be on there. Yeah, thank you. Thank you. Yeah. I'll take that. You shoot it out in LA? I shoot out in LA, yeah. Okay. A new studio I built out in Santa Monica. Okay, beautiful. Diamandis.com. I put out two blogs a week.
My job at this point in my life is to inspire. So I talk about something called a massive transformative purpose, an MTP, right? Mark Twain said there are two important days in your life, the day that you were born and the day that you found out why, right? Really beautiful. And so at Singularity and at Abundance360, which is my CEO level forum, I teach creating a massive transformative purpose.
