And now, Escaping the Drift, the show designed to get you from where you are to where you want to be. I'm John Gafford, and I have a knack for getting extraordinary achievers to drop their secrets to help you on a path to greatness. So stop drifting along, escape the drift, and it's time to start right now. back again back again for another episode of like it says in the opening the show that gets you from where you are to where you want to be and if where you want to be is healthy and to live for a really really long time i have a really super interesting guy beaming in from the sunny slopes of Park City, Utah, into the studio today. He is somebody that is an inventor. He is a systems thinker. He is a health futurist.
John Gafford 0:49
We're gonna get into exactly what that is. He's the founder of NES Health, XPO Health, Energy for Life. Like I said, he's a bio-energetic expert, an entrepreneur, a speaker, and a filmmaker, and he's here to tell you how to live forever. Maybe not forever, but for longer than you're planning on living now. Anyway, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the program. This is Harry Massey. Harry, what's up, man?
Harry Massey 1:13
It's all good. I'll totally tell people how to live forever. I'm going to live forever myself.
John Gafford 1:18
You're going to live forever. We're living forever.
Harry Massey 1:20
I always think about... My minimum is 120, but I think as long as we can do that, we'll keep going.
John Gafford 1:29
I always like to think about the movie Talladega Nights when Ricky Bobby says, you know, with my high level of income and the advancements of science, there's no reason I can't expect to live to 165, 185 years old. But it was. So how did you get into this, man? How did you get into this?
Harry Massey 1:46
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
Harry Massey 3:02
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. And from that, I basically ended up inventing, actually with this other scientist who died about 12 years ago now, but we ended up inventing this whole
Harry Massey 3:59
sort of physics first system of healing and a whole bunch of different devices and technology came out of that.
John Gafford 4:08
Yeah, it's super interesting. I was literally, I'm so happy to see Ron here today because I am, I went to Antarctica last week and I am so, I've been so jet lagged all week i'm like is something wrong with me or my jet lag i have no like dude 2 30 in the afternoon i'm cooked every day just have no energy right now so i was like man i'm going to talk to the energy guy random question before we get into this real specific way do jet lag what what can you do for that right because that's what i need to help right now i'm dying um well
