Chapter 1: What is the magic pill for health according to Baran Dilaver?
people think there's a magic pill the magic pill is exercise yeah so I mean this is great but like you know if you don't exercise if you don't eat well if you drink a lot we can't fix you with a pill right yeah you still need to put in the work those years that you know we put so much efforts are the ones I enjoy the most I got the most because you learn so much about yourself about your limits about your potential so you know that's what it is but Burning Man is for a lot of people is self-discovery and
and community.
Chapter 2: Why do biological age tests give different results?
If I cannot control their mind state and their nutrition, I will not take it on because if I don't control their nutrition and mindset, I cannot heal them. There are so many, not just anecdotal, but real studies showing that the mindset is so important.
There's definitely a connection. When I was the most sick I've ever been in college, I was the most negative as well. And I think it was definitely related.
if you're depressed you don't you don't work out if you're depressed you don't eat well right like yeah there's a direct correlation um so you have to break that cycle okay guys exciting episode today we got baron from wonderfield brought some lovely products i'm gonna start trying them all about longevity as you guys know from the podcast super interested in health so thanks for joining us today man well thanks for having me yeah i think what you're doing is uh very innovative and it's gonna have a big impact on the world right thank you we're trying
Chapter 3: What is NAD and why is it important for our health?
Yeah, I mean, it's the age-old question these days. Is reverse aging possible, right? People are really questioning if they could get younger.
It's a good question to ask.
Chapter 4: Why can't you just take NAD directly for health benefits?
I don't think we have the answer yet.
Yeah, we were talking on the phone. You said it's more complex than just your biological and chronological age, these tests you could take, right?
There are quite a few good tests, but one challenge is they do come with different results. Some of them are significantly different. So the best scientists actually, I think they came together and they created a consortium trying to align the results. But I mean, the results still give you some indication if something is really wrong, for instance. You can see it through your biological age.
But as you said, it's very complicated.
Chapter 5: How does mindset affect health and performance?
The body is very complicated. Yeah, so we can get into it.
Chapter 6: What are the risks of NAD injections compared to precursors?
Yeah, because I took the cheek one, the saliva test. It said I was like 22, but then I took a blood test, and it was a different age, so I didn't know what to believe, you know?
Yeah. I mean, a few years difference doesn't move the needle that much, but when you're 60 and one result's come at 35, one result's come at 50, that's a big difference.
Chapter 7: What role does creatine play in cognitive performance?
Yeah, yeah, that's a huge difference.
Chapter 8: What radical breakthroughs could change the future of aging?
So Burning Man just passed. I was seeing a lot of social media posts about it. It's very interesting to see how people talk about it on social media, but... You've been going to Burning Man for a while now, right?
For 19 years, I think.
19 years. So you haven't missed a year?
I have skipped a few years. Yeah.
That's impressive.
But I've gone at least like 16 to 18 times. Yeah.
Do you think it's something everyone should experience at least once?
If they're interested, Burning Man could be very different depending on what you want to get out of it. Most people think that it's a big party or a big music festival. That's not what it is. I try to sometimes give some sort of context. I think your audience is interested and they're aspiring entrepreneurs. They're into tech.
For instance, the co-founders of Google, when they get investment money from a VC, the VC said, you know what, you don't know what you're doing. Or they said, you need adult supervision. You need to hire an established CEO from the corporate world. They were not super happy about it, but they had to follow the instructions.
