It's all good.
I'll totally tell people how to live forever.
I'm going to live forever myself.
I always think about... My minimum is 120, but I think as long as we can do that, we'll keep going.
It's a pretty curious story, but when I was 20, I had these three very dramatic accidents or instances in my life.
One, I was ice climbing and I fell, fractured my spine.
This was in Scotland.
I didn't know I'd fractured my spine, to be honest, until I'd had a paragliding accident another year, year and a half later.
And that time when they took me to the hospital, they saw that I had a fractured spine from before.
I also...
was living a very, very hedonistic life, rock climbing at university and partying.
So I was burning the candle to a ridiculous extent.
And I ended up getting just sort of an Epstein-Barr virus on another climbing trip and got really, really wiped out.
in short in short I ended up with Addison's disease and ended up bedridden for eight whole years um I say bedroom and I was basically stuck at home looking up at a dark sort of ceiling barely being able to think like you know I couldn't elucidate of a thought and tried absolutely everything from a
I say a normal, but I don't know what normal is, but from a dietary point of view, I tried every type of diet.
I did all the fasting, all the functional medicine type things you would have heard of, but none of that worked.
After about seven or so years, I basically thought to myself, I don't have any energy, so I should study where energy comes from, which brought me into this wonderful world of bioenergetics, which is the study
of energy in living systems.
I ended up meeting a scientist from Australia who'd been looking at how the body works from a physics point of view, which I can get into.
That's a whole sort of topic in itself.
