What are the key factors affecting American health?
Hi guys, it's Tony Robbins. You're listening to Habits & Hustle. Crush it.
Before we dive into today's episode, I first want to thank our sponsor, Therasage. Their tri-light panel has become my favorite biohacking thing for healing my body. It's a portable red light panel that I simply cannot live without. I literally bring it with me everywhere I go. And I personally use their red light therapy to help reduce inflammations in places in my body where, honestly, I have pain. You can use it on a sore back, stomach cramps, shoulder, ankle, red light therapy is my go-to. Plus, it also has amazing anti-aging benefits, including reducing signs of fine lines and wrinkles on your face, which I also use it for. I personally use Therasage Trilight everywhere and all the time. It's small, it's affordable, it's portable, and it's really effective.

I wasn't just saying that on the story, the Instagram story. We have Dr. Mark Hyman on the podcast today. And guys, I'm sure you know who he is. He's probably the most famous doctor I think I know. I've known about you for 100 years. At least 100.
At least 100.
He's written 18 New York Times, 19? 19 New York Times bestselling books. He is an MD and a functional medicine doctor, right? Yes.
Same thing, yeah.
Same thing. Well, I mean, you have the both. You have the Eastern and the Western.
Well, functional medicine is fully Western. It's fully science-based. It's not, you know, acupuncture and Ayurveda. I'm going to explain that if you want.
Yeah, well, only explain it because people always, I think... I know it's maybe changed a little bit in terms of the perception, but like people are like, oh, I'm an MD or I'm a whatever I am. But I want to go on about all your accolades. The biggest, by the way, is he walked in. He looks like he's like 30 years younger than he actually is. So everything you're doing, I need to know about it. It is unbelievable. He's like a fountain wealth of information. So I don't even know where to begin, except for what are you doing every day to look this good, this young? You are a walking longevity poster child.
He'll only be 113 next week. No, no. But do you mind saying how old you are? No, I'm going to be 65 in a month.
Yeah. And do you feel like you are aging backwards?
I am actually. I just, in the last two years, I did my biological age test, which is measuring your DNA methylation, which looks at your epigenetics, which is how your genes are controlled and they're influenced by your environment and your lifestyle. So highly modifiable. I can't change how old I am on the birthday calendar, but I can change what's going on under the skin. And so when I was 62, I did my biological test and I was 43, which I thought was pretty good. And then I did a whole bunch of things over the last few years. I wrote a book called Young Forever.
Yeah.
which helped me actually get deeper into the science of longevity and i implemented a whole bunch of treatments and i redid the test at 64 and i went backwards four years so now i'm 39 biologically Are you kidding me? No.
Oh, my God. So, like, Brian Johnson has nothing on you, right?
Well, I got a bigger spread in my age, but he's younger, so I don't know.
Well, yeah, that's my whole point. Like, that's a massive difference. So what did you do different in those few years?
Well, I ramped up my strength training, my protein intake. I increased my intake of a number of compounds that have been well-researched around longevity, like urolithin A and NMN. And I did also a whole bunch of senolytic herbs and treatments like fisetin. I also started to do various treatments like plasmapheresis. I started rapamycin. I did a whole bunch of things that I think are, you know, still in the research phase. I'm my own guinea pig. I don't necessarily recommend it to all my patients or anybody just to try it. But I'm always willing to sort of put myself out there and see what happens. So I was like, wow, that's pretty good.
