I love life. What is the definition of health? It's not the absence of disease. It's something else. How do we unlock the keys to optimal biological performance? I've spent 40 years studying the science of the function of the body. Frailty is not a normal consequence of aging. It's a consequence, a phenomenon that happens as we get older if we don't do something about it. We have dysregulated sleep schedules. We have tremendous amounts of stress. We eat crappy food. We don't exercise enough. There's all these things that we're doing to impede our ability to actually live a vibrant, long, healthy life.
What did you do to reverse your age 20 years?
I had been eating.
Let's say he gave you a 35-year-old. They're stressed, exhausted, running on coffee. If you had a year to transform their health and performance, what are the things that you would change?
I would immediately have them get it.
Yeah, fam, imagine feeling stronger, sharper, and more energized as you age, not the other way around. Well, today's guest is gonna help teach us how to just do that.

Mark, welcome to Young and Profiting Podcast.
Thanks for having me.
I'm so excited for this conversation and there's so much to talk about, but I just want to jump in and get started. So I was reading your book, I was researching you, and I found out that you want to live to be 120 years old.
What is functional medicine and how does it differ from biohacking?
Oh, if I can do everything I love to do, yes. If I can, no. I'm still riding my bike at 119. I'll keep going.
That would be amazing. I also interviewed Dave Asprey a few times, and he tells me he wants to live to be 180 years old. So there's this trend of biohackers like you guys that want to live to be 120, 180 years old.
I would just say I'm not a biohacker. I'm a functional medicine physician. And so I use deep science. Some of the tools are similar, but functional medicine is really the ultimate biohacker.
Yes. And we're going to talk all about functional medicine. And I'm going to try to help my listeners understand what that is if they're not familiar. But you guys are on a quest to live as long as you can, right? So that's the two things that you guys have in common. Maybe it's not biohacking. But when I think about that, I think about frail, old, bedridden. I don't Really want to live to be 120 years old, at least by today's standards. So I want to understand when you imagine yourself at 120 years old, what do you actually imagine yourself being capable to do? What does 120 year old and thriving look like?
I mean, it means being able to do whatever you love to do. If it's sitting there rocking Jeremy to book, it's that. If it's hiking up a mountain, it's that. If it's making love with your partner, then it's that. So for me, it's really being able to get up in the morning and do what you love to do and not be encumbered by some of the conditions that are mostly preventable that we seem to think of as normal of parts of aging. They're not really. And what's happening on the science is quite exciting. We're seeing a lot of research, for example, there's a Washington Post article recently about the aminoc factors, which is Basically, a scientific discovery that won the Nobel Prize that allows you to reprogram your genes back to a younger you. It's called epigenetic reprogramming, and it's being researched by the Altos Lab and Jeff Bezos and also by Sam Altman's lab.
