1
If somebody were to tell you five years ago that you could reverse aging, the people would laugh at you.
2
But today there are billions and billions of dollars being spent by the richest people in the world,
3
mostly in Silicon Valley and some of the greatest scientists in the world, and have been breakthroughs in the last five years that are amazing.
4
So there's a man named David Sinclair from Harvard.
5
He's probably the number one longevity expert in the world, and I write about him in the book.
6
And one thing is he's 53 chronologically, but he's 33 biochemically.
7
I've applied what he's taught me for six months now since i met him seven months maybe eight months now
8
and i'm 62 but i'm 51 my goal is to get it down to 41
9
or 42 if i possibly can but you go how's
10
that possible everybody knows their body's made of stem cells i'm sure by now
11
and there's ways of reversing the process of a stem cell
12
literally from skin back to a pluripotent where it can become anything the man who did
13
that was dr yamanaka won the nobel prize for it david sinclair took his work applied
14
it to reversing the aging and he started with mice
15
that had glaucoma so they burned out the nerves in the eyes
16
and those don't regrow
17
and he's the first time he'll probably won a Nobel Prize from this he reversed the aging process
18
and grew back their eyes
19
so they have sight again to give you an idea they're using gene therapy there's a young man
20
that I interviewed in the book
21
there who was on America's Got Talent who was blind to
22
now conceive by this gene therapies these are types of things
23
that just sound like magic the book is filled with things where I interviewed 150 of the smartest scientists
24
Nobel laureates regenerative doctors and scientists to show you what's happening right now
25
that you might think what happened 20
26
or 30 years from now sounds like magic
27
or within 36 months that's what it's all really based on
28
but here's what I want your audience to understand around energy
29
you can think of the genome as being like the piano keys
30
but the music is played by a player
31
which is the epigenome epa means above
32
and the epigenome is affected by your diet your exercise how
33
much exposure to radiation etc well most people have heard that
34
but But the epigenome really is governed by seven master genes that are called sirtuins.
35
Now your audience doesn't have to remember all these names, but just stay with me.
36
Just think there's seven master genes that do three or four things that are critical.
37
First they turn on and off the different genes in your body.
38
That's the epigenome.
39
And if you turn on the wrong ones, you age too soon or your energy drops.
40
So when this is fully fueled, when those sirtuins are doing their job, everything happens in the right way.
41
Second thing they do is they reduce your inflammation, which is the basis of most breakdown the body third thing
42
they do is just critical is they help your mitochondria just
43
the energy force inside every cell in your body convert food into energy into atp pretty important
44
and then they have a separate task that is they clean up your dna
45
so at 35 or 34 you have a certain amount of exposure more than
46
when you were 20
47
when you're 50 it'll be even higher at 60 even higher
48
well around 40 your stem cells drop off the cliff around 50 the sirtuins the fuel of sirtuins drops off the cliff,
49
and that's called NAD, which I'm sure some of your people have heard about, you may have even spoken about.
50
You can do NAD as an IV.
51
It doesn't absorb a lot, though.
52
NAD, though, has a precursor called NMN, like never, mother, never.
53
I'm sure you've heard of it.
54
And so I've known about that.
55
But I didn't understand that if you don't have enough NAD and NMN, then the body has to decide between,
56
do I help the body turn on epigenome?
57
Do I help reduce inflammation do i really help it create enough energy in the cell
58
or do i clean up the dna so imagine you have a mansion
59
and you have a young staff and your house looks perfect all the time
60
because they're young and bright
61
and they're on top things break down no one notices they clean it up
62
but as they get older and slower and then there's less resources ned
63
now the mansion starts to break down that's aging so what dr sinclair did is figure out how to supplement that NMN.
64
And you can go buy NMN on the, you know, look on Amazon even,
65
and there's probably a list of a dozen or so brands that do it.
66
So we tested six of them just for price points as a $39 a month, $129 a month.
67
And there was no NMN in any of them.
68
And I asked the lab guy, I said, are these people just thieves?
69
He goes, well, most of it comes from China.
70
So I can't say for sure.
71
He said, but what I can tell you is what's more likely is NMN breaks down in less than 30 days
72
so by the time it comes from china gets to your door there's nothing in it
73
so they built a more stable nmn which we have and use
74
but there's something coming on what your audience know about little shut up
75
i've talked about this a long time yeah there's a company called microbiotech
76
and eden rock this merger these two companies they saw the power of nmn
77
and they said if you could find an m &m
78
that was stable and was even more absorbable it would transform people so for example, they give NMN to mice and they live 30 % longer.
79
So not all mice studies transfer to humans.
80
They take an old mouse, like a 70 year old person would be like a 20 month old mouse.
81
Okay.
82
So that's an old mouse.
83
And they put them on a treadmill.
84
And the most they can run without collapsing is about a quarter of a kilometer.
85
A young dynamic mouse, like a 21 year old can run four times that a full kilometer.
86
14 days on NMN and the old mouse, the 70 year old mouse will run two to three kilometers 200 to 300 percent more
87
so again i read about this i was like well
88
that really transferred to humans
89
so this has been the breakthrough only happened a few months ago right before i published the book
90
The Special Forces in Boston for two years has been doing a private study that's been top secret
91
about using this new form of NMM.
92
It's called MIB -626, and it'll be available in 18 to 24 months.
93
But it got out because the commander, they just finished the two -year study.
94
First year was safety, second year was efficacy, and the commander was debriefing his team and didn't realize there was a newspaper person in the room.
95
So part of it got out.
96
It was in the Daily Mail a couple weeks ago also
97
and they only know a part of it I can't tell you the things
98
I'm an investor in a company I can't tell you what's not public
99
but I'll tell you what's public what the commander said was
100
here's what I can tell you gentlemen what happens with mice happens with the most powerful men
101
and women in the world meaning the most conditioned men in
102
the world saw massive increases in endurance just some taking
103
this M &N massive increase in muscle strength without any more stimulation
104
and most importantly increased cognitive ability which
105
when you're a soldier what's gonna get you to stay alive
106
when you're exhausted or beat up or injured or complete the mission is going to be your brain.
107
So they're now doing studies on COVID with it.
108
They're doing studies with groups of 40 to 60 year olds that are just unconditioned and they're seeing the same result.
109
This will not be a nutraceutical.
110
This will be something go to your doctor and imagine you get something that is natural,
111
but you put in your body and now all four of those things I told you about are going full tilt.
112
Now you're turned on and off the right genes.
113
Now inflammation's coming down.
114
You've got more energy at a cellular level and your DNA is being cleaned up.
115
So that's less than two years away from us right now.
116
How much is that change of behavior still going to be required?
117
Because my worry is, as you know, is people say, okay, I'm going to take this pill and it's going to drop my inflammation,
118
but then I'm going to eat things that create more inflammation.
119
How does behavior change go hand in hand with that?
120
I found that when people have more energy, I don't know what your experience is, that their behaviors change.
121
I've had a chance to use this product.
122
There's products available right now, and then I've been using those and they're very powerful, but this one is even more visceral.
123
So I think when people feel like that my experience is they tend to develop different patterns
124
It's just like if you've ever gone on a cleanse even for a short time your palate changes
125
And all of a sudden you don't like the things that you once like so my hope is for people there
126
But I don't just rely on that as you know
127
because I teach people are all the other ways to shift their life
128
But I think it's important to know that there are some tools available right now and some coming very quickly
129
That's a bit radically change the value of your health and also regardless of your age
130
It's the whole idea is like to stay younger physiologically and psychologically and emotionally incredibly priceless.
131
You've been biohacking for a long time.
132
What are a few things that you've shifted in your behavior that have created more energy?
133
For me, you know, I was a vegan for about 10 years
134
and then I ate fish and salad basically for about 12 years.
135
So dietarily, I've always tried to make sure that what I had was as clean as possible to start with.
136
Then I train like a crazy person.
137
You know, I do oxygen restriction training type of things so that my capacity is strong,
138
but I'm also trying to train so I can literally do two
139
and a half marathons on a day and then another day, another day, another day.
140
For me, the most important thing I think has been combination of hot and cold temperatures that I use.
141
I start every single morning in the freezing water and I do it for two reasons.
142
One is it moves every bit of blood in your body and all your lymph in your system,
143
but also kind of train my brain to say, when I say go,
144
we go you know it's like it's there's never a day I look forward to going in the water
145
but I have you know 56 degree water here
146
but in my home in Sun Valley I go literally through the snow
147
and get in the river
148
which is you know like 39 40 degrees in the winter time
149
and but you feel so incredible when you come out
150
but also it's just training your brain saying I say go
151
we go it's not like oh I'm not ready yet
152
or let me wait five minutes and
153
that becomes a discipline in your mind for everything else in your life
154
which is huge and then believe it
155
or not saunas I just in the last year
156
I started using saunas they seen a huge change
157
I've always known about saunas I use them you know every now
158
and then but there's so much research on it now
159
and have it in the book that'll blow your mind like
160
four days a week in the sauna for just 20 minutes
161
at 160 degrees plus whether it's a you know a laser type sauna red sauna going in
162
or it's or a traditional one
163
but what happens it reduces your chance of a heart attack by over 51 %
164
and reduces your chance of a stroke by 62 %
165
and then here's the thing I've noticed happens
166
that people I get doing this they wouldn't work out now they do the sauna
167
and they put some music on or they put a movie in the background or something
168
and the great thing is after doing
169
it for about a month sweating everything else
170
now they want to work out now they want to do something else
171
so I look for the things the quick little hacks
172
that can make it happen in my life I also use cryotherapy
173
and cryotherapy takes your body down to minus 250 you know Fahrenheit I used to ice myself
174
because after an event I've been you know running up
175
and down the stadium walls
176
and everything else every ounce of me 14 hours on stage 12 hours on stage is gone
177
and I go go ice like I did in football you know 20 minutes on 20 minutes off it's painful
178
but I had to do it now I go in
179
and for two and a half minutes in a cryotherapy unit
180
and there's no inflammation in my body
181
it's just mind boggling for people who have osteoarthritis also like
182
my mother -in -law had such bad osteoarthritis even medications weren't helping her
183
and she was crying at night
184
and that's like I gotta find an answer that's how I found cryo
185
and I started reading about cryotherapy and started reading out athletes doing it
186
but I started reading what it does for osteoarthritis she has no pain now.
187
right so they're just tools
188
and you don't have to own one of these things yes you know i'm fortunate enough to have one here
189
but you know you can go
190
there's local places all over the united states all over the world now where you can just go in five
191
or ten minutes and it's amazing people just need to try it out
192
so there's lots of different tools there's exercises you can do
193
that i love they're called osteo strong i invest in this company
194
it's a 10 minute workout sounds like total bs it helps you build stronger bones
195
which most people don't care about bones women understand
196
And, you know, in their 50s, osteoporosis is a really huge thing.
197
And most of the drugs will eventually fossilize the bones.
198
This is the only thing that's been proven to increase bone density by about 14%.
199
But my athlete friends love it.
200
I love it because when your bones are stronger, your muscles are limited by your bone strength.
201
Because otherwise, your muscles will rip open the bone, right?
202
So this is a 10 -minute exercise.
203
You do four different exercises.
204
And you can go to a local place.
205
You don't have to own the equipment.
206
And literally, you're done in that time.
207
And you see the transformation.
208
First time I did this, I remember I worked with this woman, she was about 63 years old.
209
And I went to Gold's gym with her because he didn't have these machines then.
210
There was a way of doing it with weights.
211
It was a little bit spooky if you screwed up because the weight was so heavy.
212
And there was this guy who was like, I don't know, 25, 26 years old, ponytail, sweating like crazy, doing the leg press.
213
And we had a camera crew there.
214
And she says, sir, he took a break and he's sweating.
215
She goes, sir, can I just get a quick set in between you?
216
And she's in normal clothes
217
and she's like 62 years old, 63 years old looked like she was almost 70
218
and he thought he's being punked right he gets up
219
and she goes could you put another 100 pounds on literally another 100 pounds on
220
and so there's a technique where you use an extreme amount of weight for a short period of time
221
and it stimulates it so there are these little tools
222
that can make you stronger make you faster
223
and then there's simple things
224
i never did like i was working on the sleep chapter at 6 25 in the morning
225
and i had to be up in two
226
and a half hours like what's wrong with this this picture because my whole thing was on my wife loves to sleep.
227
Eight hours, nine hours, she'd be thrilled.
228
My thing is I'll sleep when I die, right?
229
But then when I was doing the research for this book, I met this doctor who's the top neurobiologist over up in Northern California.
230
He works for Google and everybody else.
231
He's considered the top sleep doctor in the world.
232
And he says, Tony, I think I can convince you.
233
And I said, good luck.
234
Give me your best shot.
235
And he said, we got a study with 1 .6 billion people on sleep.
236
And I go, you couldn't have possibly coordinated that.
237
And he goes, I didn't have to.
238
It's all the countries, 70 countries that have daylight savings times.
239
And he said, here's what you got.
240
His name's Dr. Walker.
241
He says, he says, Tony, all you got to do is look at the real numbers.
242
Let me show you the numbers.
243
And he showed me that for three days after we spring forward, you lose one hour on average, heart attacks increased 24%.
244
And when we fall back and you get one extra hour on average, 21 % decrease in heart attacks.
245
And then he does the same stats on accidents and everything else.
246
And then he showed me stats that show, you know, a man that slept four and a half, five hours a night, like I was doing,
247
usually had testosterone levels, but somebody's 10 years older than they were.
248
That got my attention.
249
So it's a combination of sleep.
250
It's a combination of the right diet.
251
It's a combination of the right stimulus of exercise.
252
It's really doing those fundamentals that make a difference for you.
253
And then it's doing these cool things like stem cells that completely changed my life.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
