This episode is brought to you by Go brewing. Fall is beer season. You got your game days, you got your tailgates, you got people gathered in somebody's kitchen. And here's the shift that I really love. At every single one of these gatherings now, somebody isn't drinking. Maybe a lot of somebody's. The old move was to hand that person a seltzer and an awkward, apologetic look, but no longer. The new move is to hand them something genuinely great. And that's Go Brewing, started by my friend Joe Chura. And a mission I believe in enough to have become an investor. They were one of the first breweries in the country to go all in on non-alcoholic, and the craft is super legit. Gold and silver at the best of craft beer awards two years running, more World Beer Cup medals than any other brewery, a spot on the New York Times best NA beers list, no added sugars, no shortcuts.

If we are to be don't die, we both have to cure our incurable diseases. So either they get us or we get them.
Unknown 1:33
Anti-aging entrepreneur Brian Johnson revealed a recent diagnosis of autoimmune
Bryan Johnson 1:38
gastroidis. Kate Tolo is the most measured
Unknown 1:40
female in history. One of the sharpest content minds, Kate pitched Brian's what if the science experiment was done in public.
Kate Tolo 1:47
So we're spending $2.6 million on my protocol. And I was like, oh yeah, I think I have suspected endometriosis. Brian hears about it and I was diagnosed in something like 42 days. Women typically take six and a half years to get a diagnosis.
Bryan Johnson 2:02
I think it's possible that we have a cure within like six months. This has never been done before. We've done all of this in four weeks time.
Rich Roll 2:10
There's a perception that this is about you wanting to live forever.
Bryan Johnson 2:13
I can't understand what living forever means. I simply want to say yes to existence. And what I really concluded is that
Rich Roll 2:27
Super nice to be here, you guys. Thank you for inviting me into your beautiful home, into the sanctum. Uh, I'm excited to talk to both of you together. Uh, and my first question really is for Kate, like, I just want to know, like, what is it actually like to be in a relationship with this lunatic?
Kate Tolo 2:46
Yeah. To look over and you're just smiling. Just, you
Bryan Johnson 2:50
know, have at it.
Kate Tolo 2:51
Yeah. Um, it's a lot. It's definitely different. Um, Brian is a unique, special human being and I've known that since day one, since the m first moment I looked into his eyes. And honestly, I feel like it's out of my control. I don't think I am in charge of whether or not I love Brian. My body just does. And so
Rich Roll 3:12
what what is your kind of like relationship history prior to this? Like in terms of like other guys that you dated and and the kind of delta between that and the experience of like living with Brian?
Kate Tolo 3:23
Yeah, I mean I think Brian's just one of a kind. So I would categorize myself generally, like both in relationships but also lifestyle, how I think about the world as a fairly normal Average Bellcurve person prior to meeting Brian. And so even in just the way I live life now, it's entirely different.
Rich Roll 3:42
Initially you were you came in like as an employee, right? Like you were working here for quite a while, right? Before the relationship uh blossomed. What attracted you to want to be in his employee to begin with? Like what was it inside of you that like wanted to be part of this whole thing?
Kate Tolo 4:00
It was his neurotech company that I fell in love with so deeply. I was twenty one. I just moved to New York. I had grown up in a small town with immigrant parents. So I didn't have a ton of exposure to like What is an engineer? And you know, what's a consultant? Like that those words just didn't mean anything to me. I got to New York.
