It's really hard to reverse that biological age by 20 years because you're already doing sort of everything, right?
And that's where these new technologies come into play.
So I would say I don't believe that Brian Johnson's 18.

No, not at all.
I do believe that he is healthier because he does a lot of things right.
He exercises a lot, which is the number one thing you can do.
He eats very clean.
He's dialed in a lot of really important metrics in terms of aging healthy, but I think it's a very sensational statement to say that I'm biologically 18 even though I'm 47.
I don't think that's accurate at all.
So I'll tell you about a study that was done from Dr. Ben Levine
He's probably one of the world's leading experts in exercise physiology.

He's out of UT Southwest in Dallas.
He's got a big research lab there.
And he did a study on middle-aged adults.
So these are adults that are age 55.
years old they had no diagnosable diseases so they didn't have type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular disease but they were sedentary so they were not exercising and i would argue that is a disease being sedentary is a disease but what i'm saying is they didn't have any of these other classical diseases and he took these individuals and asked a question can i put them on a pretty regimented exercise program for two years and reverse the aging of their hearts
