Aging Clocks: How to Reverse Aging with Dr. Vincent Giampapa : 1189

You're listening to The Human Upgrade with Dave Asprey. You're listening to The Human Upgrade, which Dave Asprey, this is an amazing episode about to happen. I'm down here in Costa Rica at a place called RMI with one of the luminaries in the field of aging. Someone who's practiced for 40 years and someone who was a founder of the American Academy of Antagumidicin, a very long time ago. People say, Dave, how did you get to be such a good biomehacker?

It's because in my mid-twenties, I was learning longevity from guys like Dr. Vincent Giampapa. When you work with someone who's just spent decades on this, you realize what's possible. I had the great honor of learning from my elders when I was young. I've had so many good conversations with Vince that I want to share some new information with you. I'm looking to beat up right now. I've just had my 15th IV or something this week. I've had my

Central Aging Clock Reset in a brand new groundbreaking longevity technology. I'm going to walk you through what I just did. For years, people have said, because I don't read the books. Geovity is a game for wealthy people. I've been saying, no, the price keeps coming down. It keeps coming down. I've done a few episodes over the past few years where I spent about

$100,000 on just getting stem cells and certain parts of my body. What I just did this week is unbelievable because it's way less than half the price and so much more potency and so much more longevity. This is groundbreaking. My expectation is that every couple of years, the potency and the price comes down. It's just like computer chips. If you're a nerd, you might have heard of Moore's Law and says every 18 months, the speed or the density of

processors, not the speed, but the density doubles. We're doing this with longevity right now and Vince is an absolute leader in the field. Dr. Vince Jimpaba, welcome to the human upgrade. David's my pleasure being here with you. As you said, we've had some multiple other conversations about where this whole new specialty of medicine is going. It's just a pleasure today to share with you some of my thoughts. I'm really glad to have you here as our guest and experience

one of these new amazing technologies. It's hard to know where to start with you, but I want people to know a little bit about your background. There are some names, people who just recently written books. In fact, one guy wrote a book that says you can't extend human life and he charges a quarter million dollars to tell people that they're just going to die at the normal age. I scratched my head at that when I look at you've written five books, right? Yes. What was the most recent one?

The most recent one is actually still in its final stages of being released. That's all about what we're going to talk about today. I know kidding. That'll be out. I would say within six months. But the most recent one was an upgrade of the textbook for teaching physicians or people who want to practice antaging medicine. That's the basic principles and practice of the antaging medicine. So you're teaching doctors how to do what you've been working on for 40 years.

I want the information that I know to be available to as many other physicians who really want to do something that changes the model of medicine from a symptom treatment model to a preventive model. It's really about how do we keep all of us healthier, more functioning longer as we grow old? Well, there are a lot of physicians, especially functional docs, longevity docs and health care provider, so listen to the show.

And tons of people like me who just want to feel better, live longer, to show up all the way. And this probably isn't where I would have started, but cognitive enhancement is so in my mind, integrated with longevity. I've always been putting those two pillars of biohacking. How do I live longer? How do my brain work better? Of course, my body. What do you take every morning to make your brain work better?

Well, I have a personal protocol actually based on a new version of MRIs that actually could look at how your brain is aging. And those new MRIs are actually put into a new software that literally can look at every segment of your brain. Wow. And actually tell you what your neurotransmitter levels are, what your SOD levels, your glutathione proxase levels, where inflammation is more prominent in certain regions of the brain.

And so based on this whole new diagnostic way of looking at your brain in three dimensions and its function, there's for instance, there's supplements we use from pro-drome sciences. One is a special form of curcumin, which decreases the brain inflammation. Another one is just designed to help enhance your glial cells. And another one is to help enhance the different other portions of the brain. It's called plasma allegons, right? Plasma allegons. Plasma allegons. I always say yes.

Yes. I take some of those as well. Yes. But you have an enhancement stack that's more neutropic focused. So from the neutropic point of view, that's always been a tremendous area of interest for me. So I use a stack with a new vigil or armadophanol. I had a lower dose. It was usually around 75 milligrams. I use centrifunk oxy. And I use peracetamor, no tropol, no centrifunk oxy, and helps with memory recall. But peracetam helps with left to right brain hemisphere transfer.

So that actually enhances your creativity. Now, new vigil helps with, in general, multiple types of memory, short, long term memory, but also reaction time, balance, and helps with both, again, together with this cognitive enhancement stack, you see multiple aspects of memory enhancement, along with creativity. So to me, the secret here is to be at the top of your game so you can absorb all the information, but still be creative and see how those new pieces of information fit together.

How old are you? My age is kind of actually like my cell number, it's unlisted, but for you, I will admit it. I'm going to be 74. So you are the healthiest looking, most dialed in person over said, and I've never met. Well, thank you. That's a big compliment coming from you. And I take a similar stack of neutral weeks in the morning. I use Modapho, which is the grandfather of new vigil, which you talked about. And we were just talking, maybe I'll try and swap.

I used to use central phenoxamine, but I tried it a long time ago when I was younger, and it was too much for me, but I feel like I should be back on it. It also is a potent brain and the aging thing. I use a cousin of peracetam called anarasitam. And I like that one because it's also got memory, I.O. enhancement, and people say, Dave, how do you remember all this stuff? I've been doping for 20 years on memory enhancers. It kind of works. And it also protects the brain.

So we're both making our brains last longer that way. But those are, you know, tactical things compared to the aging things we can do. But I want to mention one thing that you taught me. This was back in Dubai. Seven, seven, eight, dihydroxyflatol. I love this one. So that enhances BDNF. So that is something I forgot to mention that since, and that you a couple of years ago there, that's been part of the stack. Holly, this is a beautiful supplement, dihydroxyflatone.

It's something that does similar what psychedelics do in terms of BDNF, but it doesn't make a trip sadly. Now, that's just to get, how is it that I'm sitting here with a guy who's for 40 years been practicing just as at the cutting edge of everything? We did some procedures this week. I'm going to ground listeners in the type of stuff I've done before.

So I used to, in the US, it was about 100,000 on procedure, actually helped to cut a belt that called a six-hand stem cell whole body makeover or something like that. But it was brutal, like a week of feeling it, like you got hit by a truck. I will never forget the feeling of having a hammer going into my iliacrest and my hip and that sound is they're getting into the bone marrow than that twice. One time I had a seizure. It's so hot. So not a happy experience.

When I came down here to your clinic in Costa Rica, and guys, Costa Rica is a three-hour flight from the US and it's so easy to get to. But instead of doing that, you had me take some pharmaceuticals for a few weeks before I came down and then you just took the same stem cells out of my blood without having to penetrate my skeletal system. Exactly. Okay. So what you had done is what we call our procedures called, it's a treatment.

You're really first anti-aging treatment, but it's, we also call it your bio insurance program.

So why do we call it bio insurance is we're able to collect three most important types of stem cells that adults have that enhance that are responsible for maintaining your immune function, the repair and maintenance of your blood vessels and your regenerative component so that your organs, skin, muscle, brain, even, and bone tissue, all can repair the damage that's occurring during the general aging process that occurs day to day.

So this technique is unique and it uses an FDA-approved compound for over 40 years called Nupogen or GCSF. Now that is a unique compound because it's used for the last 40 plus years for people who have to have their bone marrow ablated because they have cancer then they get their stem cells collected prior to that so they can then get them infused back after their cancer treatment and grow a new immune system. Now 15 years ago I started to do that as an elective wellness procedure.

And so in the US you can't do that as a preventive thing. It's legal to use a collected store but you can't get your cells back for preventive wellness reasons. Now that is kind of a little bit of an oxymoron, right? It's almost like someone thinks that they have any say over what I do with my own cells. They're wrong. Listen, I happen to 100% agree with you which is one of the reasons we're here in Costa Rica. But if there is a way to feel younger for longer, well there is.

Your body needs something called the NAD plus molecule to help you age well. When you're young your body makes a lot of NAD plus and that helps you make energy, it helps you keep your DNA healthy, absorb nutrients well and it protects your cells from stress. But once you hit about 30, your NAD plus levels start to drop. The good news is that longevity scientists have found some things that can help like niacin, niacinamide and niagen. They help your body make more NAD plus even as you age.

All three of these are in an amazing formula called Qualia NAD plus. Check out Qualia NAD plus risk-free for up to 100 days at neurohacker.com slash Dave 15 to save an extra 15%. That's neurohacker.com slash Dave 15 Qualia NAD plus. It's what I use. And though you can't see it, quantum energy pulses through everything, it's all around you and it's in you. And there's science that backs up the fact that your body is a quantum system. But toxins and stress can throw your energy off balance.

And that's where a company called Quantum Upgrade steps in. Quantum upgrade offers groundbreaking products to help you get your balance back. Quantum upgrade tests each product on humans and the results show that the technology can boost to blood flow and even reverse blood clots in minutes. The latest in greatest study shows that quantum upgrade increases ATP production by up to 29%.

And the newest ability is that you can now use quantum upgrade to increase your level of consciousness based on the Hawkins map of consciousness. If you don't know what that means, do some research or listen to the show because it's impressive and fun to learn about and it means something. The quantum upgrade.io and get a 15 day free trial. Enjoy. There's so many reasons that I'm blown away by what I've experienced this week.

She cuts having fat taken out for getting stem cells is also really painful. And usually I get muscle cramps. One of my companies is called Wasabi Method. We have this new form of pressure wave that I have to do that where I've had the fat taken out to get my muscles to relax again. So violating your bones and your fat to get stem cells is annoying and painful and expensive. So your procedure for that is better.

And if you're listening to this and you're under 45, you can bank your cells when they still have some powers that you lose after about 45. And then you have those cells for the rest of your life. So I've had mine banked unfortunately after I was 45. I have some of my fat cells banked from before I was 45 was I think. And what's happening now though is you come down here to get that done and you can do everything else you can think of and we're going to go through all the stuff I did.

But we're right on the edge of being able to edit our own stem cells. Tell me about that. Yes. So my original focus was to be able to collect and store stem cells when we are optimally healthy. And then we have a reservoir of a regenerative potential in order to use as we grow older. And I've had my children stem cells collected in their early 20s. And well, they're not my sons now 40.

He's starting to get those 20 year old stem cells back so that he doesn't collect the damage that we have as we have grown older. But the whole secret here is that those stem cells that we've collected which are the three major types of stem cells. Now when you collect fat by the way you only get mesenchymal stem cells. When we collect from the blood or the bone marrow which we get matapuetic and you'll feel you progenitors for blood vessels and then we get the mesenchymal stem cells also.

So why would we want to have to just traumatize our bodies to get just one type when we get all three types? I am planning to never have my fat or bone marrow taken again. I don't need to do that anymore because of the work that you've done here. But you don't have any fat left anyway. It's actually a problem. Yeah, no problem. When we measured my body fat at the beginning of the procedures I was at 4.8% which was a low and I probably need to put some fat on. Any techniques for that?

You know what? I think where you are now is where you were at a step. So you mentioned there's three kinds of stem cells. Give me one sentence about each one and why we care. Now, hermatapuetic stem cells form the basis of our immune system which is the most important component of that is your NK cells which are really what protects you against cancer, bacteria and even synestin cells which we'll talk about in a bit.

Then there's the endothelial progenitors which are what we need to maintain or grow new blood vessels as they perhaps get damaged or occluded. And lastly there's the mesenchymal stem cells that are the regenerative cells that are conformed muscle, bone, cartilage and even brain tissue. So keep in mind you're born with a fixed number of stem cells and everybody's a little different but once you hit 40 you lose both the number and function of those stem cells.

So there's no wonder why we start to get more infections or we have poor blood flow to our brain or our organs or we can't regenerate those organs or we lose cognition. So it's directly related to the aging process. So this is kind of the new way of looking at things. You know it's been said that people who look at everything that are real and out to see and don't see something different are really not looking hard enough.

Wow. It's a new day for that because you can add cells back in and I've been working on adding mine back in. It's just been a traumatizing and very expensive process and the fact that you can just come down, get them collected and stored and we're right at the edge of being able to edit those cells or upgrade them so that you can make them younger or even give them some special powers. This has been on my list of things for 20 years. What's coming?

Well a lot of this might sound a little bit like sci-fi stuff or the born identity of stuff because they actually last born identity movies. It was talking about exactly what we're now at the brink of being able to do. So let's talk about that. So right now I think the focus in the research, a component of stem cells has to do with reprogramming. That means taking the stem cells we've collected which have a certain gene activity profile and resetting them back to a 30 year old or a 20 year old.

Now that sounds like we're that's so far out. No, it's not. That's been done with the Yamanaka factors. That's been done with a whole host of things and recently we've actually been able to do that with certain medical medications that have been FDA approved for 40 years. So we're at the verge of now actually starting clinical trials to document the safety and efficacy of that. In fact, I'm joining that clinical trial. Yes, you are. But let me just tell the other thing.

In 2016, we looked at this model called heterocratic parabiosis. You know, where you sold the mice together, the old one and the young one. Yeah, I wrote about that in my superhuman memory like W. Exactly. So what goes from the young mouse to the old mouse that makes that old mouse act and look and biologically be younger are specific compounds which we now know what they are. So in 2016, I decided to try that not with sewing two humus together but putting young and old stem cells together.

Oh, okay. So that was a technique we did at Rutgers University in Trilver. The first time we were literally able to reverse not only the gene activity but the prochines and how those cells reacted virtually identical to the young cells. Wow. And for the first time we were programmed seven to eight year old human stem cells back to 20, 30 year old stem cells. Does that mean I can release the college student change under my bed for blood? Maybe. Yeah, get rid of that stuff.

There's easier ways to do it. The technology, listen, I want to make this comment and this probably should be something we repeat every three months. What we know about aging and related technologies doubles. So what does that mean three years from now for you and I? It'll be six thousand times more information. Yes. And it comes down to just knowing what to do.

And at this point the evidence is in stem cells are important but in the US, access is so limited and people are getting cells from eight different random women. It's not their cells. When it comes down here, I like it because I can use my own cells or the only cells from outside my body I'm willing to use is what's called cultured on billical cells. Correct.

And that means that they take one line of cells that's very carefully tested and then they grow it versus just taking random people's cells because there are risks from getting lots of cells from lots of people in the US. They do it that way because of weird legal stuff. But it's, I think, not very safe and I'm all over doing this. I'm done here in Costa Rica because you can do much more. So we've got stem cells. We also have what I call stem cell poop exosomes.

Yes. So stem cells to create anti-aging anti-inflammation factors and you can take those directly. So what we did is something I want to share with you because I know a lot of people reach out saying, Dave, I want to do what you're doing. In this case, you can go to DaveAspree.com slash clock and you can sign up to get information about this stuff.

And what we did is really groundbreaking because your team used focused ultrasound to open up specific parts of my blood brain barrier and then I had stem cell and exosome impusions to reset my hypothalamus. Why would I want to do that?

Yeah. You know, we're at a pivotal point today in longevity and regenerative medicine where we can start to do things that I believe and have, and I'm standing on the shoulders of people who have done this, have done the research in animals and one of those is Dr. Sheldon Jordan really wants to get to credit. Luminary in the field.

Absolutely. Well, I'll have them on the show, so we've worked together on this process and under his guidance, what we've been able to do is use focus ultrasound and target specific areas of the brain. The hypothalamus seems to be the central aging clock in the body. This might sound a little far out, but there's real evidence in both a paper published in the last lesson, the last year in Nature Magazine, that documents. The hypothalamus on the floor of that hypothalamus are neural stem cells.

And there's multiple nuclei. The nuclei that regulate your sleep wake cycle. Your sleep, how you sleep, your hormonal release patterns, a whole host of things that directly impact the peripheral aging clocks, which are our stem cells and body cells.

So that's why we're targeting the hypothalamus because it's our belief now that if we can help restore the sensitivity to those nuclei, that they can sense the changes in the body more efficiently, like when you're 20s or 30s, they help keep your peripheral aging clocks working more efficiently. The body is amazingly like a computer system in some ways and gets sleepy unlike in others, but people who don't come from NERDVIL like I do.

You wouldn't know this, but inside every computing device you have is a tiny little clock that makes sure everything in the system knows what time it is because all those components of the doing the right thing and they're off by just a microsecond, everything stops working. Our body has that central clock and it also has individual clocks in each cell and in each organ system. Exactly. But they have to talk to the central clock.

Like when you turn your phone on and it checks in and it knows what time it is because it talked to the cell phone network, it's like a central clock and that's tied back to an atomic clock. That's how all of our human stuff keeps working, train schedules and whatever. Body is the same way. So we just told my central clock, it's way younger. So it's going to tell all my peripheral stuff that they're way younger. Exactly. It's going to help sync those two clocks.

But how does that focus ultrasound do that and what do we add to that procedure to make that as efficient as possible? So focus ultrasound has always been known to help with certain components of cognition and other things because where it's focused is a specific part of the brain. It causes nasal dilatation or opens up the local blood supply. So the hypothalamus is a pretty easy target to hit with an external focus ultrasound beam.

So what happens is not only does the blood supply to that area stay more active or larger for a number of hours after treatment, but it does two other things. The first thing it does is called what we call stickiness. That allows certain proteins that we're going to infuse right after that focus ultrasound sessions over to stick right to the blood vessels of that area.

The second, the other thing it does is it causes what we call endocytosis or allows these pieces of genetic material, DNA, microRNA, cytokines, growth factors to go through blood vessels and directly into the neural tissue that we've aimed to be met. It's kind of like neurosurgery with no surgery. And for reference, this procedure, which is a really potent longevity procedure, is about $25,000 by itself. But what I did is I came down and I just make me one with everything.

So we created a stack and a stack. If you go to daybasketbreed.com slash clock, I'll give you the full details in all there. But what we also did is my face. I'm looking a little bit ragged today if you can see that. It's because I did heavy duty stem cells, micro needling and CO2 laser on my face. And then we did a bunch of ortho work and injected stem cells and other things into my reproductive system. So this is the whole body approach. Everything that needs it plus the brain.

But we did something else that I think is groundbreaking. Every time I've had a stem cell treatment in the US, I feel worked over. I mean, really bad. And it's for a long time. And it's worth it because I'm planning to live a long time. You do something on the first day, which is what I call blood washing. Tell me about plasma freesis and why we need it. So you know, plasma freesis has also been around for quite a while. It's an FDA-approved process.

And again, as I mentioned earlier, it's not really readily available at all as a preventive treatment. But recently, the research is now really supporting Dr. Kipro, Dr. Convoys, have published papers that document that by removing the plasma, that's the liquid part of your blood, 55% of your blood is this clear, supposed to be clear, a yellowish compound or fluid. And then the red cells and white cells are the rest.

But as you age, that clear fluid, which is what surrounds your blood cells, including your stem cells with nutrients and removes their waste products, gets more contaminated. Yeah. Year after year, not just from your cells aging, the environment. My growth. That's serious. That seems. Everything that is suboptimal for the function of those cells is now surrounding them, limiting them from reaching their full genetic potential.

It's like if you have an aquarium and you never change the water, it gets a little skunky. Well, your blood water is the same way. So you go through on the first day and you take all of those inflammatory factors out. It's then when I had the orthopedic procedures, yeah, I was sore. We injected my knee. I've got substantial damage at both shoulders. This is why people try to work out two hours a day in order to stay young, probably haven't figured out what happens when you do that.

But what you're going to find out is if you do plasma precess and then stem cell work, your inflammatory response is so much lower. So I come down here, now my blood's clean and you feel so much just so clear after that, then we treat the entire body, including all the reproductive stuff. I'm knocked out for all of that. So I have to feel it and I've been awake for all those procedures before. Well, don't want to do that again.

But as soon as that's done, now I have clean blood and then we open up the blood brain barrier and we do the cognitive thing. Yes. See, the sequence of events with what you just had is really important. And let me give you a major reason why. Plasma ferriesis, we check your inflammatory markers, your HSCRP and some other cytokines prior to and after. And we've done this for a large number of patients. Another general body inflammation drops way below the norm ranges.

This in itself is very positive for aging because inflammation is something that is a negative impact on everything. But also we've now seen with some of the workforces by Dr. Kipprov that multiple other biomarkers of aging are also decreased. Stemptial functions are better. Whole host of body functions are better. So the secret here is that's a key component also prior to getting back any stem cells.

Because you don't want to give back stem cells either the ones you've already collected or the umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells and put them into a pro inflammatory environment that's fuller other contaminants. So the sequence of events of what you had really make the final impact of all these things dramatically better for aging, your cognitive ability, your mental facilities are clearer, quicker.

You have virtually no aches and pains in your body anywhere which is like, I feel younger yet. So all of this is a whole new approach. Instead of just isolated pieces in the puzzle, it's like putting a good portion of the puzzle back together. Well, I know that a lot of listeners are saying I want to do what Dave just did. So here's the deal. I put together a package of all the stuff I did and you can save tens of thousands of dollars on it. I want to be straightforward. I'm not a billionaire.

I've done reasonably well for myself. I drive a 2014 G. But I spend more on my health than I do on my vehicles or probably my rent because I think that's the most important that's what I can make. And yeah, I do rent my house too. So this is what I care about. And so if you're interested in this Dave Asprey dot com slash clock and this is less than half the cost of the procedures I've done in the past, but we're resetting the central aging clock. We're washing the blood.

We don't have to penetrate your fat or your bones. And it's so much more effective, I think in part because you stack it with hyperbaric. So hyperbaric chamber therapy is something that's been a therapeutic approach that we've known about for years.

But more recently, we're now starting to see that by oxygenating the blood, okay, that in itself is a major help with self-function, cognitive impact, and a host of other just general metabolic processes that it's from nutrition getting into the cells to the cells waste products getting out. But also, we now know that hyperbaric oxygen actually releases stem cells. So in essence, it's kind of like a mini stem cell treatment as well.

Wow. If you're listening to this going, that's way too expensive for me. This is coming. We're setting the standard for the future. And there's for all technologies. There's always the ones that people over invest in like the very first handheld video cameras. We're $10,000 and they barely worked and only crazy people did those. We're past that. I think that's what I was doing five years ago when I was injecting every joint. My body was stem cells in the US with all the painful stuff.

This is not particularly painful. The benefits are there and the cost has dropped substantially since then. But if you're saying I'm still not there, I've had Dr. Christian Drupo from Stemrigen on the show as well. You can release more of your own natural stem cells with hyperbaric. There's supplements like that that can help you with it. The point of all of my work is here's something we now know about human performance, cognition about aging.

And since we now know this, what do you do that's free? What do you do that's very low cost? What do you do that's expensive? I'll do all three of those and tell you about them. This is the high end. And I'd like to make a comment. People say I can't afford it. Particularly people in our age who are over 50, 55. I'm sorry, I identify as my measured age, not my calendar age. That's what I do too. I'm feeling triggered. By the way, what is your exchange of age?

Oh, man, my extrinsic age is 19 and a half years younger than my calendar age. I'm about 31, 32. I beat you by just a few. Mine's 22 years. Damn. Below my set. And your chronological age is 22 years older than me. Yeah. Well, you're killing it. Well, listen, I use an advocate of all these therapies. I have access to them. Getting back to the key point is how do people do this for free? Yeah. There's a way to do that. All right, what's that?

Okay. And frankly, this is what I did when I first had started this. Look, we all, at our age, we all have life insurance policies, which you could borrow money from at no cost. For instance, you could borrow $12,000, $30,000 to get your first treatment and stem cells collected to reinsure your future, which is what we call bio insurance. So my children are going to get $15,000 less. 50 years from now when I'm gone. So what does that money really get to be worth?

But I didn't have to really, I paid my premiums. I couldn't use that as an asset to buy myself more healthy time. Oh, that's interesting. Okay. I don't know if she gets some health insurance or life insurance, I mean, whatever. Whatever. It's a good idea. Yeah. So that's one of the little, what you will, bio hacks that you can use if you want to jump into this. Okay. And if you want to do the whole stack that we've now done on you, that's another way of accessing that. That's so cool.

I like doing this act because you're going to come down here. You might as well just do everything. And I can't say enough about what happens on the reproductive side. When you do the injections and you guys are also using pressure waves, shockwave, yeah, on it as well, similar to what the wasabi method is. And man, you feel very different and you see changes in size and performance. Even if you don't have AD, it's also part of being young. So I've seen dramatic results from that.

So that has really been one of our more poppy procedures with, I would say, middle age, see your men who their sex life, and that's such an important component to a relationship has dramatically changed. So yeah, and so why not? I mean, this is technology that wasn't available, you'll decade ago. It's not just men though. And you have the full procedure for women. Yes. I've had a lot of women on the show talking about signal reproductive longevity.

Yep. So you do a similar treatment for women where you're injecting stem cells vaginally and the results there are very similar. The thing it just feels younger. Yeah, exactly. So my recommendation is, if you're coming here as a couple, don't just so do one now. Not at all. Because there'll be probably a little mismatch and activity levels. Wow. So you come down, you wash your blood, collect your stem cells for life. And those are ones that we can enhance in the future.

And then you make your central aging clock, again, which is the part I'm most excited about the most groundbreaking here. You get your hyperbaric. Yeah. You get stem cells injected in anywhere you have pain or injuries. And everyone gets those because you, oh, I'm going to play soccer when I'm 40. It's going to be expensive to play soccer when you're 40. Even when you're 30, it's expensive. How some of the things you treated are actually injuries from when I was 16.

Yeah. So one of the things I want to, like you mentioned, something about central aging clock and cognition. Probably one of the most important things to keep in mind is, as we grow older, the most probably the most important thing is to keep our mental locuity and our memory at its optimal level. Because so many people at RH are just peaking in their businesses or their creative writers or artists in a sort of a lifetime to get there.

So how do you maintain the mental locuity or mental abilities? This is, to me, the most important thing, along with maintaining your general physical activity levels. But if you maintain your body in a young state but don't have a mind at its sharpest, you're really missing one of the most important components. Having a brain that just works effortlessly is one of the most precious things that I can think of because I didn't have it in my 20th.

In front of a TV syndrome, I couldn't remember anything. I remember thinking, I would fire myself. And I was a CTO type of person. Yeah, that big tech company. I'm like, why isn't that working? Yeah. And that feeling of helplessness. And the fact that you don't tell anyone because you want people to know, it's really common now, especially post-COVID. So getting my brain back has been the biggest gift of the longevity practices I do.

When you're making this example of someone, your brain is perfectly as good as it was or maybe better than when you were 30. I think it's better, be honest with you because... Yeah. 30s were tough. A tough time starting a practice, the stress levels. But yeah, honestly, and my goal is to continually enhance my cognitive ability so I can continue to learn and contribute and do the things I really love to do.

It's one of the reasons that I'm such a proponent of neuroscience, I have a neuroscience clinic. And I spent six months of my life with electrodes on my head, training my brain because, I mean, look, if I was in a wheelchair, I would horribly suck. But as long as I have my brain, I can still do the important things. Yeah. Right. How you perceive realities all based on how your brain processes what's coming into it.

And the secret here is to allow your brain to not only perceive reality, but to look at it in a different fashion. I actually don't agree with you. You don't. No. Go ahead. It's how your body perceives reality. Because your body is pre-processing reality before it hands it off to your brain. And your body is deciding which parts of reality it's going to show you. Okay. This is a distributed sensor system. It's our mitochondrial networks. They have a microsecond response time to the environment.

But our brain doesn't get a signal for a third of a second, which means you have to have a healthy body, a job healthy mind. Okay. But those signals still have to go to the brain for the final perception, right? They do. Yes. So I think we're both right. We are both right. But that's an interesting concept. Yeah. It's just an interesting, and you're right about that. And frankly, I didn't get about it. So I like this because I'm learning.

Oh. Well, I think you're a very knowledgeable, learned guy. So thank you. The models I've been working with more and more are how do I reprogram the body's perception of the world and the mind's perception of the world to have more peace, more focus, more consciousness. And something that was kind of cool this week here at RMI is you have to sit still and basically do nothing for an hour, twice a day while the focused ultrasound is then put a picture of that. And so you can see what it is.

It's shooting a beam in, but you can't move your head. So I've been meditating for two hours a day sitting in a chair with focus ultrasound. And then I'm in the hyperbaric chamber and like you can watch TV, but I don't watch TV. So I've been meditating for something like four or five hours a day because I've been doing longevity treatments that were required to be not to move my head. So I'm like, wow, I have extra oxygen, extra stem cells. My hypothalamus is working better.

And I'm just downloading things. So it's been a really resetting week for me anyway. That's great. I'm a big believer in meditation. And as we discussed in the past, the Monroe Institute, Center Point Research Center, I've been involved with them years ago in what's the real impact on meditation besides from making you feel better is it dramatically drops your stress hormones. It actually elevates your, for instance, your testosterone. And elevates your DHA, which is one of them.

It's the human body can literally reset itself from a hormonal point of view if you change your mind state, which is really why a lot of these Tibetan monks or yogis live very longer healthier lives because they're actually, if you will, by ohacking their brain, they don't want the body's own ability to do this.

And that directly feeds into what we're doing at RMI because we believe our bodies has its innate ability to regenerate itself if we just help it a little bit because this is a regenerative system I talked about with stem cells. At your late 40s, you start to lose those stem cell numbers and function. And that's really the basis of your regenerative system. It is.

And it's a challenge because I am not going to meditate for two hours a day because I have stuff to do and that's why I can get decades worth done in one week. And I could also spend four hours a day on longevity practices that don't work very well per minute or I could come down to RMI and I could do decades of longevity work in five days, which is this has been sort of the dream.

I've been touring the world, doing all the longevity things, but to be able to stack it like this, especially because when you stack it, it drops the cost per procedure to make it much more accessible. I'm pretty blown away. It's been a very potent week for me. And so not only is it cost much more acceptable, but the synergy or the impact of those treatments together are so much more than if you did them separately.

So it's really, I think this whole concept of putting this all together gives you a dramatically more effective impact on the aging process of your body. Pretty profound stuff guys, Dave Asprey.com slash clock. Oh, you can reset your aging clock and do all this other stuff. Or maybe you're just learning about stuff that you can do, that doesn't have anything to do with coming to Costa Rica. And it's like I said, a three hour flight. So this was very accessible. Now let's talk peptides.

You know so much about peptides and longevity. What are the peptides that have you must excite it? You know, I'm going to go back to the story about heterocratic parabiosis and you know, young blood and you know, young serum. We know that at young people, there's certain factors that really make older animals or older people supposedly, D age. So what are those compounds? And what are those, what are some of these key peptides or proteins, right?

So the latest research really is about four key peptides. First of all, Foley Staten. We all know we hit our 40s. We can't build a muscle we used to do. We work out harder. We build West Muscle. A Foley Staten, a Hippocytomyostatin, which is something we start to produce in our 40s, which inhibits muscle growth. But Foley Staten does other things. It dramatically drops inflammation. It actually may be actively involved in some cognition enhancement.

But we mainly see the muscle, you know, the muscle loss is a big problem in older people because of what we call sarcopenia. Older people do so much muscle. They can't even get out of a chair or be independent. So I think Foley Staten is going to, and by the way, Foley Staten is one of the few new peptides that's actually being approved in the US for now, our childhood on muscle wasting diseases. Interesting. That's now approved.

At there as a treatment, everybody can have yet, but we're going to talk a little bit more in a few minutes about how that might happen, surely. What's the other protein? Clothal. I've heard about both of these, especially, close to my book, and you couldn't buy it anywhere. Yes. Now, that's becoming synthesized. Clothal, why do I love that? Clothal is one of the most important things for neural regeneration, cognition, and you and our big fans of that.

But it also enhances cardiac function, renal function, a host of other things. So these are compounds I'm sure are in that little young mix in the blood that is impacting older pigs. What else? Okay. So we're looking now at GDF11. A GDF11 may turn out to be, in my personal opinion, one of the most important peptides, because GDF11 has a unique ability to repair damaged ears stem cells.

Wow. It means it actually, the research is pretty strong to show it actually restoring the DNA damage so that that stem cell quality it imprints. Can I buy a GDF11 now? There are certain places on the web that say they have it for sale and it needs to be very careful. But yes, there are. And again, I don't know about the quality of those things, but I... Assuming it's good quality, how do you test GDF11? Well, see, that's another thing.

You can... and I'll mention one person who's been involved in that for the last few... a number of years and actually been collecting data, Steve Perry. And you can go to YouTube and see his data, which will blow your mind away, that arterial elasticity is decreased blood pressures down. Cognitive functions better. A whole host of things... It's actually anti-cancer preventable. So this seems to be one of the things that we're looking at at the research level.

And by the way, I don't know if you know, I'm on staff at Davidson Clear's Lab at Harvard at the Paul F. Glenn Center. And David and I have been... I guess, for over almost 15 years, able to have conversations about where the future may be going. And again, these are some of the things that I think he's very knowledgeable about. And he's been on the show, I think, a couple of times now. So what else... What other peptides? PGC1 alpha? Oh, let me take a...

Oh, does nicotine, in pharmaceutical extracted, raised PGC1 alpha? Oh, my gosh. So I hear... Not only does it raise that, but what does that do is now we're looking at the bioenergetics at the cellular level. So we all know that we lose our mitochondrial number and the ability of those mitochondria to make more amounts of ATP, which are what drive the cellular fuel. And we know that... And I'm mad, we know about nicotine and my riboside.

We know those things help too, but PGC1 alpha actually helps with mitochondrial biogenesis. Okay. So why is that important? It's because we now know that if we make less ATP, our cells, our stem cells and body cells are going to work. So when you put these four or five peptides together, okay, we start to now open another whole doorway to where the future longevity aging medicine is going. The question is, how might we deliver those instead from an oral pathway?

How could we deliver those in a long term manner and perhaps how could we even enhance the level of those things that even a young person would have so we function even better? It sounds... So I'm going to leave that up to you and then I'll give you my impression. It sounds like a mini-circle problem. And it's funny, mini-circle. I'm an advisor to the company and a shareholder. This is the Gene Derby company. And guys, I did a podcast about that and I had the full-time Gene Derby.

And this is one of six of the small injections to tell my body to make more of those. And if you go to dayvastbrie.com slash clock, you get info on all this advanced longevity stuff I'm talking about. And I'm a huge fan of them because I'm also registered to be in their Clotho trial. Interesting. Which hasn't started yet, but I'll actually make my body create more Clotho than it normally would, which is going to enhance my brain and make me younger. But you have a different idea, don't you?

Yes, I do. And again, I'm always trying to think of if I was in the future, what would be available to me? That's not available to now. Yes. So I kind of like go into a state and kind of try to visualize what might be the next big say. And I've had the opportunity and pleasure to meet the head of BioViva, which is her, the CEO's Elizabeth Parrish. And she's been on the show as well. Yeah, there you go.

So I think what BioViva is doing is potentially going to be one of the biggest leap forwards for wellness, extended health span and productivity for humans. But I recently had had a couple conversations with her about how do we do, how do we take what you're doing and make it better? So my initial thought is, which is gene therapy, and this is different than plasmids, which is many sort of. Yes. No, and they're both very effective.

Now, the question is, what would be a potential way of putting this augmenting these key genes that we know are really effective in enhancing useful function in many ways? Why wouldn't we put them in stem cells? So that's where my present thought process is. And I've had the pleasure to speak to Ms. Parrish about, gee, what are your thoughts are?

And this is somebody who's open-minded looking for the future, focusing on humanity, focusing on what can we do to make life for human beings in the future better? So we'll see where that goes. Do you think it would be ethical to offer these treatments to regulatory authorities who are trying to stop us from having access to them? Well, I think it would be super ethical, but I can tell you this they're not going to accept it.

So there are places, a few places in the world that are starting to jump over or create legal locations where those people who want to be involved in cutting-edge therapy that has some level of credibility and safety already to it. To be the real first group of people that are going to try to help prove that these things are effective and safe. And I think that's what we need to look for. Well, Costa Rica is definitely putting itself on the map. Yes. Abu Dhabi has a great track record as well.

And what's going to happen, and I want world leaders to listen to the show, and there's probably a few. If you don't just stop getting in the way of the kind of work that thousands of longevity doctors are doing, the most successful people who pay most taxes and control industry in your country will leave your country because we can live longer. And why wouldn't you just allow this, however? This is not for you to regulate. There. That's from PSA. I'm glad you got your opinion now.

What I'm seeing is in the future, I'm planning to keep doing gene therapy. I know there's about 10 different targets with a mini-circle to make the existing cells in my body create more of the compounds.

And I want the stem cells that you banked for me to get edited with this new technology you talked about so that when I introduced those stem cells, they're going to be able to go in, and these are pleuropotin stem cells that can actually turn into tissues in my body that are built different, that can do things that my normal tissues wouldn't do. So let me tell you what my vision of this all may look like, and highly likely to look like. So we collected your stem cells. You're at a certain age.

Not still your age. No, I'm a calendar wise. I'm 51, but I was kind of joking earlier. I identified them in my mid-30s because that's all my data says. So yeah, but that's what the calendar says. Okay. So now that you got your stem cells collected, you could literally, after 50, it's really kind of the, the cloud of line where we're thinking, we need to start giving you back your stem cells to kind of mitigate this deep line drop in quality and quantity.

So that instead of seeing this decline, we're going to see this flat. The next step is, and this is what we're really working on to get clinically to patients very soon. And it's our hopes anyway, is that we can take those stem cells that now have the activity level of a 50 something year old person and revert them back to a 20 or 30 year old. So that means those stem cells now are going to be able to repair, you're going to have a stronger immune system.

You're going to have healthier blood vessels. And your organs are going to be able to repair the cells that become non-functional, efficiently. Now that's a major leap forward in keeping people healthy longer. But, but what's the next step is if we were able to not only, quote, reprogram your stem cells. But then add to them the key genes we're now seeing as being involved in the most important aging pathways. Both of them. Full of stem.

PGC Alpha 1, GDF 11, each tert, which we didn't mention before. Let's start by that. Yes. So, you know, Bill Andrews is probably one of the probably the leading expert in telomerase activity and the effects of telomerase. And a very super bright and dedicated individual. That was on the show a year ago. I knew him from an Iran L longevity nonprofit group in the late 90s. Right. You may want to get him back on. Because the advances in this are also amazing. So what does H-Turt do?

First of all, most people, when they talk about telomerase or they take tablets with TA-65, you have to understand that there's only two pools of cells that make telomerase in your body, your stem cells and your germ cells. So the rest of your body cells don't make telomerase. So the secret here is, and it seems that nature knew what cells pick that are most important. Your stem cells are your source of regenerative power. So, but every time your stem cells divide, your telomeres get shorter.

So they get less and less affected or they can make less copies. And they're now they're accumulating DNA damage. Oh, didn't we talk about GDF-11 about repair of DNA damage and stem cells? Oh, yeah. Now we're talking about H-Turt, which has been documented until the length in your telomeres because it enhances telomerase. So guess what? Now we can allow your stem cells that you have to make more copies longer. We can maybe fix the DNA damage that decreases their quality.

But at the same time, we can even give you back greater numbers of what you, closer to what you were born with or had when you were your 20s. So the regenerative system might be rebuilded. Wow. So H-Turt also is something that I think has already been documented to length in telomeres in humans. And do you think we're going to do that with gene editing? I think it's going to be, it's already been done with gene editing. Oh, wow. It's tough to make it available.

Or maybe data early, not published yet, but clinical data shows that that's already what's happening. But imagine where we are, we're learning the alchemy of H-Turt. It might be title for a new book. That's a great title for a book. And people who aren't students of this kind of thing, probably wouldn't know, but the alchemists were not trying to turn lead into gold. They were longevity researchers. That was their goal. Well, can I take just a minute or two to tell you the secret about this?

So why did the pharaohs, thousands of years ago, live into their 80s and 90s when the average lifespan at that time was in the 30s? Imagine you're a citizen. You live into your mid 30s, you die. You have your child who now's in his mid 30s and dies. It's the same pharaoh. So your grandchildren are born. And still the same pharaoh. Why do they think they were gods? Do you know they were taking the first anti-aging supplement? Who were indeed? My not atomic gold.

I was hoping you were going to talk about that. That's what's in Alchemy, they would call the philosophers still on. Yes. It's also worth noting the pharaohs ate fish and meat and they gave all the slaves grains and peasants food. That's also part of this. That's part of this. Yeah, this is an unusual form of gold that is, well, it's available from dozens of companies, but I don't think most of it's real. It's very hard to find. It's very hard to find the real thing.

Let me tell you the interesting thing was in the 1800s, some through William Flanders Petri was actually tasked to go back to Egypt and follow the path of Moses and try to document for the Bible. I love it that you know this stuff. This is a cool keep going. But he didn't follow the path of Moses. He asked the local people, where do you really, where do people here really feel Moses went? Well, he went to a place called Jebel Musa, the Mount of Moses. He went up there and guess what he found?

White powder. At the top of that, the mountain he found this beautiful portal carved into stone, was able to get in and found room after room, what looked like a chemistry lab. And in the back of that, he found this large area like a double basketball court empty nothing in it. And one of his men happened to drop a coin and it happened to fall in one of the crevices. While they opened up one of these blocks as on the floor, they found all this white powder. And he had no idea what it was.

That powder of ash was shipped to the actual Royal Museum in London, where it sat there for years, decades, until they tested it and found out it was an extract of gold, which actually it was gold in what we call the high spin state, which means that it actually was able to change your genetic expression, your genes. So the farols were the first one who had the technology to epigenetically alter their stem cells and body cells. Do you take monotonic gold? I don't take it.

I put a ton of research on it. I actually bought all the equipment to manufacture my own. Geez. How many years ago was this? This has to be... This is back when I made $6.90 and I was 26, I'm not 26, 27. I lost while I was 28, that was a problem. But it took so much time and also I thought I might blow myself up, so I never did it. But this has been an area of interest. And I've met a few people who, you know, claim they've worked with him blurs and the recipe.

And there's a lot of mysticism around it, but I would like to find a good source. I would take monotonic gold, but it would be expensive. Have you ever contacted Dave at Hudson? I think he's still alive. I don't know Dave, but not so. Dave Hudson owns all the patents to make monotonic gold. So interesting. Now I actually met David and he had asked me to do a test and he sent me pure monotonic gold in a liquid form. And so I did at that time, did some research and... Did you take it?

With a small... Yes. With a small number of people including myself. And the main thing that I documented was a drop DNA damage rate dramatically. Okay. This was 20 years ago and we didn't have the testing processes that we have telling the technology that had dropped DNA damage rates. And at that time I looked into the literature. What did monotonic gold... Just a lot. It's special impact. What it does is, you know about DNA and bio photons.

Okay. These are energy particles that travel down the DNA strand. Every 40 seconds you make one bio photon in your DNA. This augmented bio photon energy by 10,000 volts. Wow. I've got to get some of that stuff. So I'll be happy to join in that search with you because I still think that's really a lost leader. But we have the technology now at a quantum level to start looking at what do those things do.

But it's amazing that thousands of years ago, this technology was being used by the solid group. Well maybe one day we'll get that at RMI. We do that. Maybe. No problem. It's kind of a walk down mythology. But if you really dig into the history of Western science, it started with something called the Natural Philosophers Association. Yes. And I have a painting for I think the 14th century in my house. It's a copy of the painting.

And it shows an alchemist having a conversation with Mother Nature and they're like trying to crack the code. And this is why back when I was running bullet proof in the early days, all of my packaging had a little salamander hidden on it. Someone like, at least drag. Because the salamander is a sign of alchemy. It's a symbol of it. It just is. I've been interested in that path for a long time. And like I said, I don't have a monotonic old. If I had some real stuff, I would totally take it.

But in the meantime, the stuff we just did with focused ultrasound, I don't know if I could say it's better. I believe turning out mitochondrial function and the biophotonic stuff. It smells powerful thing you can do. My brain book and my longevity book are mitochondrial centric. Right, right. And anything I can do that's going to make mitochondrial better or make cells younger tissues younger, especially the brain is step one. And in step two is how I reset the clock.

Yep. I want to do it in my brain. And I want to do it in every cell in my body so that they're younger. And right now what you've put together is the most comprehensive way of doing it that I've seen. But it feels like we're on the cusp of so much more even just over the next six to 12 months. And I think that we have in our toolbox all the things we need to really make a major difference in extended health span and longevity.

But one of the things you just triggered, I wanted to follow up on was, you know, nature. So why do human beings feel that they're smarter than nature? Is it the egocentrism of humanity in general? So one of my philosophies is look at what nature is to. What's there that nature has taught us? And let me give you an example. And a lot of those things I've incorporated into the programs here at RMI. For instance, why certain animals live over 200 years?

Okay, the boheight whale is 200 years and shows very little signs of aging. Greenland shark can live up to 400 years. Never gets cancer. The giant tourist lives over 200 years. Parrots live into their late 90s. Why do we live 75 and 80 years of age? Probably bad gene editing 10,000 years ago. What do you think? It should be. But here's what I did. I looked at the literature and tried to find out what are the key things that allow those, these are some of mammals to live. Here's what it is.

They have greater numbers. It's stem cells. Gee, you just got your stem cells collected. They actually make less free radicals and have less and better DNA repair damage components. We use components that here that have been designed for years at repair double shanty and a breaks. Okay. They have a host of key biological factors and each one of those factors we've incorporated into our cellular aging programs.

I think you have to respect what nature has evolved over hundreds of thousands of millions of years and try to start using as therapeutic protocols, things that we know works for decades or thousands of years and incorporate them into your basic science. They're also a proof of concept. My upgrade labs, human upgrade franchise, we're opening about 28 of those across the country right now, the Yosin Canada. The logo is an axolotl. Interesting.

The axolotl is a salamander from Mexico that it's like Wolverine in that you can crush its whole spinal cord. You can cut off any limb. It will grow back. If any animal can do that, why can't we need? That's why it's our mascot in the logo. Well, guess what one of the areas of research I've documented, one of the primary reasons it does that is its stem cell numbers. And basically these are chloropotent stem cells, way beyond a letter normal.

So, that's maybe the nature showing us another area to go. So this is why I think, again, coming back to your first treatment bio insurance, why do you want to get your stem cells collected? Well, you can use them, not only even now, but again, as I said earlier, in the future. In the next year, two, three years from now, thousands of times more potential to use those collected cells to help keep you healthier.

And it's important to explain, we're collecting the cells, but then you regrow the cells in a lab. So it's not like I just took out these precious cells and I just get it back. It's like we took them out and we can amplify them hundreds and hundreds of times. So it's like having a new set of bone marrow outside my body that just makes stem cells. Well, let me clarify that a little. So right now, when we collect, give you your first treatment and then collect, okay, we have billion stem cells.

So we actually have enough stem cells to help restore that number that you're losing for decades. Out to three. Even without culture expansion, okay. No, but we also have already done an early separation of those mesenchymal stem cells from that sample, which we could expand. We can, we're right at the point now where the hematopoietic stem cells are now something that the technology is seeing, we can separate. And within the next few years, I believe we'll be able to multiply those.

So once you get this sample collected, in the next few years, I believe the technology's going to be available to, yes, culture span all of those, okay. So now, so now you never have to worry about, gee, am I going to run out of cells?

And now we go into the reprogramming process, whether it's the technique we use originally, which is just culturing with young cells, or whether we use CRISPR, Cas9, whether we use Yamanaka, partial reprogramming with Yamanaka factors, or whether we find new ways to do that with repurposed drugs. That's the most interesting thing. There's so many drugs, including some that they barely use anymore and some that are just well known, and even a microdose can have profound longevity effects.

And we can write it the same thing where, especially in the US, there are people who believe they have a right to restrict our access to longevity compounds. You know, this is a major issue in not just the US, but virtually every country of the country. And they create these dictates based on this, I believe, kind of false dictate that it's not safe, okay. You know what's not safe? Is having a regulator tell me how to run my own body? Well, that's the whole point.

The whole point is there should be some section within every government that says, if you want to do, use yourself as a test subject. You have the right to do that, and perhaps under specific sections or areas in the country with certain oversight, but not limit you from doing it. So I think that's something that, and there is, I think one country in the world who just started to do that. Which one is that? Honduras. No kidding. And in an area they call Prospora. So they are huge.

It's not quite completely up to the individual, but they are allowing, I don't say cutting edge biotechnology companies to offer those treatments there, provided they collect data with individuals who want to be the first to do that. Well, let's hope that the other weeding countries like Costa Rica, UAE, and if I was running a mid to small country right now, and I was saying, well, I missed the crypto window when I could have got all the crypto bros to come with all their money.

Which, it's the longevity window. All you have to do is just let people do what they want to do, and they'll flock their in-drobes and they'll restore your economy, and they'll make you and your kids live way longer because they're working with you. Like as a leader of a country, this is the simplest thing you could ever do. I'm going to nominate you for President Costa Rica the next time around. I do not ever want to be a government. You just have to learn Spanish.

But you know what you're saying is it has a lot of credibility behind it. How do we move forward the technologies that are already on the forefront that normally it takes up to two decades for a drug to even get to clinical use after it's gone through all these things? We have technologies that are available now that can make a tremendous impact on health spin. But if the present model continues the way it is, it may be decades before it even gets, if it even gets to use in the public.

So this is a big, big issue. And the secret is how do we push things forward so that people can actually have access to these technologies? If they want to or willing to sign a consent, it says they accept whatever potential averse events would be. But the secret is to have these technologies available in an environment where they're actually demonstrated with some guidelines. Okay. And the major guidelines are, is it safe and is it effective to a point?

Now, there's plenty of things that are safe and effective to a point, but we're not allowed to use. And because we can't meet double blind placebo control studies at multiple locations, across millions of dollars. So it excludes all of these things. It's so confusing to me because the same people who are putting those things in place will allow untested chemicals in perfume and lawn spray and in your lawn furniture and your clothing.

And those are not tested at all, much less tested safe, but those are allowed. I have an idea. What if we make a longevity fragrance? Right. That would be completely unregulated. Yeah. So that's interesting. I mean, something that we could, you could smell or inhale. That would have a big, looks and here's a big thing. Fully stand is administered with an aerial spray, nasal spray. So interesting. And the impact on that has been shown that it has a significant impact on dementia.

Wow. Maybe we could spray somewhere on the White House. Yeah, honestly, we might want to send that. Whoa. We need crop dusters. It's going to take a lot. I'm going to just stop right here. It's one of those things where there's a double standard, where things that do cause harm or untested and things that have a great potential for good and may have some risk.

Those are somehow in a special class where anyone on the planet thinks that they have a right to say what I can do because they're responsible for my safety. And I'll just say straight up, I choose danger. And it's the same thing. When you go serving, you might drown, but you choose danger because it's worth it. Yeah. Yeah. So longevity is no different than surfing. There's risk, but it's worth it. Well, I agree 100%.

I think the ultimate choice you mean beings have is to live their life as is knowing that every one of us have a fatal disease. That doesn't mean a lot. Well, it's called aging. Okay. Being alive is great up until your mid 40s. But being alive is a fatal disease. Well, yeah, because white, aging is driving that, right? No, eventually the planet will crack or something, if you think. Well, I mean, we're not going to extend longevity for hundreds of thousand years yet, but my point is- I'm down.

Let's raise. I might lose, but that's okay. And you know, the WHO organization, the World Health Organization, has now classed about aging as a disease. Once you recognize aging as a disease, your mindset is different. Oh, maybe we can cure it or slow the disease. So we're now at that point just starting in the medical community. And most doctors who are now active today have never been trained to conceive of that.

So that's why I think things are going to change also because we believe that RMI and aging is a disease. Interesting. And it's the process of aging that creates the age-related diseases we all suffer from. So if we can slow aging, the process of aging, synolytic, synastatics, stem cell numbers in function, peptides, gene therapy, which is all now available, we're going to delay the diseases we all suffer from, the mass or disease of aging. And maybe we can slow it or maybe even reverse it.

So with- here's my big thing. The aging- the things we know about aging doubles every three months. Six years and how we have six thousand times more information. Three years after that with AI and quantum computing down the line, the real secret is, and we should have teachers. Don't be stupid and dying in the next three years. Because I think if you stay healthy in the next three years, you're going to have thousands of times more potential to stay healthier for another by the 10 years.

And if you make that little break and stay healthy, you'll have even more. So we happen to be born in a point in time where no human being has ever had that option. That's a good point. And one of the least obvious longevity techniques is driving a heavy vehicle. Because you don't want to be in the pre-us when a suburban hits you. Absolutely not. I might say you might not want to be in the self-driving car for the next three years until they get that worked out. I'm kind of torn about that.

I have no interest in a self-driving car. Yeah. I do look at the numbers and it appears that the death rate per mile driven is lower already for self-driving cars. I just think that a car that could turn itself off based on the same regulators who told me I can't get basic pharmaceuticals and I'm no longer no thanks. I'll keep my 2014 G. Yeah. Listen, I happen to have a 2018 G. There you go. But I think the secret here is to ride the wave of technology.

And I think the technologies we're doing at RMI here really focus on extending your health spend and opening the doorway to longevity. Don't say that. That's even real. Opening the doorway to the body. Why would you say, okay, health spend is boring. If you set your goal for health spend, you might meet your goal and anyone who's done goal setting knows you need to set big hairy updation with goals of Peter Diannettis. Moonshots, Naveen Jane talks about moonshots as well, dear friend from Biome.

So look, let's extend human life and let's just admit that's what we're all into. And health spend is a side effect of extending your lifespan. Well, the first step in extending health span is longevity on me. It's getting you saying healthy or longer so you can participate in all the new genesis. That's totally true. You do want to stay healthy as long as you can because the tech is coming. The tech is coming really fast. In fact, it's already here.

The stuff I just did this week is mind blowing even compared to three years ago. So I just, I worry when I hear people say our goal or even some people, you can't extend human life, but your goal is just to extend health spend. Like if you make that your goal, you're literally saying, I want to die at 86. I just want to be healthy when I die. Like, no, I didn't say that. I didn't say that. I didn't say that.

And if you want to follow through that years ago, only a few hundred years ago, people said, won't love or fly. How? Well, you get an infection, you're going to die. And a cylinder came out. And now we know we collect the source stem cells. We are on the fringe of having clinical treatment for reprogramming them.

We're at the door front to enhancing even these were stem cells now that were our younger functioning, but we can actually see the windows, how we're going to make those cells even function even better. Okay, and who knows what's going to come up in the next three years. Again, with once AI and quantum computing meet, you realize we'll be able to do the research it now takes a number of years, it cost millions of dollars probably in a day. Oh, yeah. What does that bring to us?

It's going to be a whole new world. Yes. It's something where people have said for years when I started talking about losing to 180, that's unethical because we have a population problem. I mean, guys, have you seen the numbers? The population is crashing because we're not having any babies because we sprayed all these unregulated chemicals around in lots of plastic that dropped fertility. So in most of the world, the population is shrinking right now because we're not having babies.

That means our only choice to save society is to make our older people younger again. Well, let me make a comment about that. So I believe also that it's not going to be the issue that a lot of these, you know, long-term thinkers feel that there's going to be overpopulation. Imagine a world where we had people who were in their 80s or 90s, functioning like 55 year olds, the wisdom they could bring, right? Oh, yeah.

The fact that maybe there'd be a whole different perspective on living in peace and living in harmony with each other. And we don't have that now because the wisdom of the elderly doesn't get to be expressed to people because they don't live long enough to say, look, we've been to that. We've done this before. It doesn't work. And their brains are cooked a lot of the time. Also, we have all high-res and we have all these diseases of aging.

So a world full of our elders who have wisdom and the energy of youth, that will stop done the things from happening. I agree on that. I've learned so much from people in their 80s and 90s when I was in my 20s. That's one of the reasons I'm wearing them today because, oh, no, that's not going to work. Here's why because they've already felt the pain. I agree. So let me ask you this. How old do you want to live to be?

Well, I always set the goals to at least 180 because it's 50% better than our current best. And if we can't do that with all of what we just talked about, I think it's very conservative. But my goal, I want to die at a time and buy a method of my choosing. See, I think that's a really good answer. Yeah. There's been a number of movies who have kind of played that scenario out. But here's what I think. I think the most important thing in life is to get a beach morning and have a purpose.

And you have to have passion about your purpose. And then the third thing is to surround yourself with people that are like-minded to help you accomplish a purpose. And I think that's one of the things we know that allow people to live longer. People who stay in their jobs to do something they love to do will never longer. You know, I interviewed Eric Kendall. He was 94. The guy who won the Nobel Prize for Nobel plasticity. This was the most vibrant human being.

He's in his lab of central part actively doing research and loving his life and asked him what his most important advice for living a long time was. And he said, have a really good wife. So- Well, that's also been shown to help. Like the lessons from the Blue Zones and Dan buters research has shown that if you have a companion or a significant other in your life that adds to the quality of your life, that enhances longevity. Hats enhance longevity. So what do you think that is?

I think it has to do with stress hormone modulation. I do, but I'm going to go out in the limb. I think that there's more to aging than molecules. I think it has to do with an energetic interaction. Miserie Motos were with waters on the power of water and the information that your consciousness can actually register water as a big, big difference in it. There's something really going on here.

But imagine you have somebody you're living with who you not only are not in love with, but may be creating an energy field. Your body is at least 70 percent water. Those thoughts or that energy field is interacting with your energy field. So if you're not in a relate and this goes to, again, back to relationships or even with a dog, there's energy fields. Okay. That interact and I believe are an important part of our, not only are quality of life and health span but our longevity.

So if, and you know, there's been a number of studies I've done that show your actual thoughts can interact how your DNA expresses itself. So I believe that we haven't reached the quantum therapeutic trials yet. But I think we're going to see in the near future that the energy also, look, we're starting to use radio frequency. We're starting to use other energy, scalar energies to interact with DNA.

But I think getting back to where we are now, relationships are probably one of the most important things to add to your list of longevity must-do's. Having a view of those energy fields in humans, this goes back to anything you learn in India, the stuff I learned into that and the Paul and traditional Chinese medicine. You can actually, once you do the training, you can feel those things and you can consciously manipulate them and they are real.

And I believe that a lot of them emerge, if not all of them, emerge from our mitochondrial networks because I've worked with so many gurus, you know, spiritual master type of people that I feel honored when I get a chance to do that. But they take mitochondrial enhancing supplements or they use other bi-acting techniques and they say, like, my powers are stronger, I can do more. So we turn up our biological power and it turns up our energetic field's ability to do stuff in the world.

That's why, once you go down the path of biohacking and longevity, don't be surprised if you end up doing some consciousness work because it's inevitable when you make enough energy that you'll want to evolve your consciousness. There's no question, but let me, you just again, stimulate it to the thought.

So getting back to self-horror piece, here's one of the things we know and you've experienced this week is when we give on Biblical courts stem cells, the mesenchymal stem cells, which we produce at RMI in our ISO 7 GMP facility lab. Do you know that the young mitochondria in those cells produce tremendous amounts of ATP? Do you know that you've actually now become a chimera? Because there is to multiple publications that show that the young mitochondria get transferred into your cells.

Your cells are making more mitochondria. One of my goals in my 20s, when I realized I had a serious mitochondrial problem. It's a major part of chronic fatigue, chronic fatigue, absolutely. So I've learned mitochondrial biology very early on and the goal has always been, how do I edit my own mitochondria and it turns out, if you get safe culture expanded on Biblical cells, you are increasing that.

Yes. And when we are able to edit our own stem cells, which is very, very short timeline, then we'll actually be able to have mitochondrial upgrades. There's no reason that my mitochondria have to have the certain metabolic pathways they have. So you may be upgraded. Absolutely. But also you're looking at some of these peptides like GDF11 seem to impact that. We'll get some of that.

So those five groups of peptides, I think you're going to become another area of big focus in the immediate future. But right now, if you want a mitochondria upgrade, you just have to get high quality on Biblical-court stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, to benefit both your stem cells and body cells. So that actually is available now.

Well you want the culture expanded very well-tested ones and that's why in the US, I have all these concerns because you and I both know people who've had really strong reactions. Yes. A lot of the cells aren't alive. And so I have concerns about sort of the cut rate. Let's just collect cells from random people. I don't think that's the path and I would be uncomfortable injecting them. Agreed 100%.

And that's why when I first said, we have to have it, one of our first things is build a smaller on-lab that is the highest quality lab that is available in the states. But also make sure the source of those cells are tested for viral, genetic defects, probably very few of the 10 cells, maybe 10 quads we get a month. Not all of those cells are, do we use because they don't meet the strict standards.

And it's not just that, it's the manufacturing process that has to be monitored to make sure those cells are clean, viable, there's no contaminants. And like you said, I know, I know who, there's certain people we know who have had really bad reactions and probably the most common reaction, even with very good cells, is shivering and shaking and it's not life-thirty, but it's a very unpleasant. That's easy to avoid. So there needs to be a medication protocol to give.

We use H-202 blockers and a mild dose of steroids right before the infusion to avoid that, but also we find out that that protocol actually helps those stem cells home to different areas. So all of this whole science of stem cells isn't about, we have a stem cell and I'm fused it. It's about understanding where it starts with the beginning of, if you're going to use them, collect them, store them.

When we take out your cells that have been stored in minus 80 degrees centigrade, we don't just unfreeze them, they have to be brought up slowly at certain temperatures in certain minutes so they don't rupture. Then they have to be cleansed and remove any of the preservation components, which can elicit that reaction, that's to be washed and cleansed, then they have to be counted again to see how many are viable to make sure we're giving you cells that are going to do something.

Now that's not an easy complex or process to put together, but we have people that over 20 years experience doing that here. So when people come here, I personally can assure them they're getting the absolute best that they can get anywhere in the world. Wow. I believe that. I'm pretty careful about the things I'm going to do at this point. I've had some really uncomfortable reactions from earlier stem cell treatments in the US.

So we're probably worth it, but the difference of resetting the Central Asian clock and doing it with all of the supportive therapies here, it's a so much smoother experience and more effective and more cost effective. Guys, davaspre.com slash clock, if you're thinking you just want to do the full stack I just did, like I said, we put together something to play. It'll say be tens of thousands of dollars off of just doing everything and it works better when you do it all together.

So you commend, do all the spots in your body that have injuries, do you have the reproductive system, do your face, do your brain, wash out your blood, collect your stem cells, the entire thing and just put it all together for you. And davaspre.com slash clock and I will hook you up with all the good stuff. One of the things that frustrated me when I ran the longevity group in Palo Alto in the 90s, I couldn't get anyone under 60 to show up. I just turned my brain on.

I have all this new abilities and I thought about it for so long and it was on the side of Mount Kailash in Western Tibet where it's the holly's Mount of the world and I was just really struggling with this. And I said, I'm just going to have to make up a new word because even longevity back then wasn't something people would follow and anti-aging made people think of plastic surgery. Yeah. So I said, it's biohacking and it's taking control of land biology.

And the pillars have been cognitive enhancement, longevity and then having the body you want and you could be you want to be lean, you want to be muscular, whatever you get to pick and just having your energy back. Consciousness maybe would be a fourth pillar. Yeah. Where do you see longevity and biohacking coming together? How are they different? What's the future? You know, it's funny because biohacking, initially when I heard the phrase, I'll be honest with you.

I said, well, that's what we do with anti-aging medicine. I guess it's synonym. We had to make it cool. Right. But but not only that, it really opens the doorway for people to can say, I have I want to do I want to have the choice for my body. Whereas when we talk about anti-aging, it's more of a controlled thing. So I believe biohacking has really helped push anti-aging stem cells and regenerative medicine forward quicker than it would have on its own. Mission accomplished.

I literally set out to do that after, I think it was after six years of running the anti-aging nonprofit group. And I'm like, why is it stuck? And I thought it was a branding problem. No, it's not a branding problem. I think it was, first of all, anti-aging, like you said, longevity in the main science community is like still considered science fiction. But biohacking has attracted a group of people who said, we don't care what you think. We're going to go ahead and do this on our own.

There's been a lot of those initial attempt to biohacking where data was collected to show that, hey, it not only did work, it's safe. So that kind of opened a mind to some of the research, it's a more conservative mind sets. Well, let's see it. So it's been to me a help with pushing forward. So I want to have to congratulate you on being one of the few people at the courage to do this and really help push the movement forward because this is about helping people and giving them the choice.

Yeah. And giving them the choice. I didn't want anyone to go through it. I went through it in my 20s. I felt like I was old at arthritis early, like 117 passing blood sugars of diabetes. I had the brain fog. I had the joint pain. All this stuff you're supposed to get in your 70s. Yeah. This sucks. Yeah. I started out saying, well, five people follow this is going to help them so much.

But when I realized that I could actually use this to make people think, to change our consciousness about what's possible, man, I took a lot of hits in the early days. People were so outraged, but what's funny, the functional medicine doctors are like, oh, thank God. You so need this and so many of them go to the biohacking conference. But we had 3,200 people last year. And it's become like CES and there's hundreds of vendors and we're reversing aging and we're getting people superpowers.

Like this is what I was dreaming about. Well, listen, I was at the biohacking conference of the year before. And that was the first time I went to the biohacking conference and I think you remember we were there as a company. And I was amazed. I was amazed that the technology that I didn't know about.

So that opened my mind also and I think that it's really important to have a comment that talks about cutting edge things that are coming in the future because the secret to really living optimally and longer is mindset. If you don't have an open mind to this, you can never even, you're not even going to be aware of what's happening. So you have to have an open mind to the new information.

I think meetings like you create, these biohacking meetings help people, actually it forces the door, their minds open when they see this or they hear what's going on. I heard some amazing scientific presentations that would have been kind of like really, really kind of difficult to present at some of the medical meetings, but real data.

So again, my congratulations on taking the woes and arrows and hatchets in your back initially to get to the point where you're able to help with companies that have new ideas, doctors who have done research as legitimate to be presented in a format they would not have had. Thank you. It's amazing. And I look at all the longevity conferences, you know, it'd be a rad chest and I've presented it at 8 4M multiple times. And like these are my people. We're all working on the same problem.

And at different areas on the curve, because a lot of the biohackers, they come to the biohacking conference, they're not medical professionals, but they've done their research, they've done their reading and they're willing to spend time and energy on living longer and they'll put the work in. And I mean, you know, in medical school, you're like, okay, you're going to have to change your lifestyle, but there would not even know what to do to tell people.

And then for me, I did all that in my 20s. I worked out 90 minutes a day, six days a week. And when it didn't work after 18 months, I finally stopped being stubborn, I said, I'm just going to do what works and I started measuring it. And when we have a bunch of just individuals saying, hey, let's all do some stuff. It's kind of similar. Let's compare notes. I feel like that's where progress happens. And then we need the Davidson Clairs.

We need the work you're doing to go out and validate it and do the lab data. And I don't know that we really need a lot of epidemiology to do that. So what you're creating is, or showing, is the value of community. There you go. And to me, that's one of the most important things that we need to do with people who are out of the box thinkers. And I think biohacking creates a big community who've obviously seen that grow. Wongevity followers are growing.

Those two communities together can really help really push a future together forward much quicker than we would normally do. You'll be at the biohacking conference in 2025, right? I have every intention being there. And I'd be more than happy to share some secrets that I've been led out here today. Well, how about it, Patron Stage? I think that's a good idea. It would be an honor. Well, thanks for all of the upgrades you just did here at RMI.

Guys, DaveAspree.com slash clock, if you just are at that point in your life, say, I want to do a Dave dead. Just tell me how to do it. We put you out at list of everything I did and why I did it. And you can have a reset, aging clock in your brain, which I don't know how to do that anywhere else. And you get a bunch of the other stuff that's also just so cutting edge with a lumen area in the field. I hope to see you down here in Costa Rica.
