Biohack Yourself (2024) Movie Script

1
So much of us rely on old school methods
and old school ways to get healthy.
My health today at 46 years old is perfect.
My biomarkers, my mindset,
my body fat percentage
health on all levels is beyond perfect.
It was never like that.
It was never like that.
I was 315 pounds 4 1/2 years ago,
morbidly obese.
At that point,
I started counting my years,
but I wanted to make the years count.
A lot of people don't
like the biohack word.
They said, "It's life spanning.
This is health spanning."
It's all of it, right?
Biohack is just a trendy, cool word
that Dave Asprey made,
and I think it's cool because
you are hacking your biology,
because at this time everything
else is hacking our health.
So we kind of do need to hack,
and make some change in an artificial way
using some science
and technology while incorporating
some of our old school methods,
some of the free and available methods
to really sustain what's
happening in our environment.
The purpose of this movie is that I want
to teach my generation to start biohacking,
so they don't have to
learn it when they're older,
and they're already sickly
and now they have to fix it,
and then they live
shorter or they live longer.
I want them to learn younger right now
so they could biohack
theirselves all the way through.
I want my grandma to live 150,
my mom to live till 150,
and my dad to live 150,
and me to live 150,
me and then my sister to live 150,
my dog to live 150.
The definition of
biohacking for a lot of people,
and this isn't across the board
is manipulating anything
in your environment
to change your physiology
or improve your health.
So if you're using red light therapy,
you're basically just taking
yourself back to nature
to getting sunlight.
Everything in biohacking for the most part
equates to something you can do in nature.
Although a lot of times
it's gonna speed it up.
You're gonna hear a lot of words.
Words like health spanning,
lifespan,
anti-aging.
But it all boils down to
what you can do to improve your life.
And we're gonna be telling
stories of other people's lives,
and how they've recovered
and what they use and modalities
and practices that they did.
So what this is is a
cocktail of a documentary,
had a baby with a podcast show,
had a baby with a masterclass.
So get ready for one of the most iconic
and influential health documentaries
of your lifetime.
Welcome to Biohack Yourself.
It's your body.
You get to do what you want to do.
Right. - And then
you wanna be smarter.
You wanna be faster.
You just want your energy back.
Or maybe like me,
I'd like to get a full
night's sleep in 6 1/2 hours
or even a half hour if
I could figure that out.
Okay, it's your body.
So it was this uniting element of control.
So I thought of a word,
I'm walking around in Western Tibet
learning meditation from the masters,
all of the neuroscience and calmness
and vagal tone stuff
and like, what's the word?
And I came up with the idea of biohacking,
and I put it out there.
I didn't trademark the word.
It's now a new word
in the English language.
It was meant to be a global movement
about us being in charge of us.
Not your government,
not your big pharmacy company,
not some government
pan organization, whatever,
not even your doctor.
Only you own your life
and only you own your biology.
That means everything you do,
even if you think it doesn't matter,
it has some input to your biology.
So let's figure out what matters the most
and just do that.
So what does the word doctor mean?
Doctor, if you doctor a document,
you change it with nefarious connotations.
If you doctor somebody's food,
and you tell 'em they won't eat it
'cause it's not good.
So doctor means to change
things with nefarious intentions.
Cure, like curing meat
means to preserve it.
You cure me to cure
vegetables, you preserve them.
So if you go to a doctor and
say, "I have ovarian cancer."
And doctor says, "Oh, I'm
a doctor, I can cure you."
He means I have nefarious intentions,
and I'm going to
preserve that cancer in you
for in perpetuity.
And interestingly, that's
exactly what happens.
Now, I'm not saying that
doctors are evil people
who are in on some grand conspiracy.
I went to medical school.
I know lots of doctors.
We didn't talk about this,
but we learned that
you don't question stuff
because that doesn't go well.
And then you get in $300,000 in debt,
and if you don't get a job,
you're screwed.
So we learned, except me,
and a few other people,
not to open your mouth.
Biohacking is
the practice of optimized health
and performance through
unconventional science
and self-experimentation.
Whilst the term might seem modern,
its roots can be traced back
to ancient practices of diet,
exercising, herbal medicine.
If you understand how a cell works,
you will understand
automatically how a human works.
And the biology that I learned
from observing the cells
transformed my entire life.
I think for me biohacking,
there's an empowerment piece there.
There's a huge opportunity,
and I'm excited to have
really good thought leaders
ask better questions on
how we can apply this.
Because it could easily be
just as bad as the pharmaceutical industry.
All biohacking is,
and it's an okay term,
but it's figuring out ways
to enhance the human biology
in a way it might not do on its own.
I will have amazing
food and travel the world
and try new restaurants
and live a little bit,
because I think that when you look at all
of the different ways that
we could live a long time,
I think the biggest
variable is relationships,
community, love, and connection.
Well, tell me about this technology.
Tell me about this pro thing over here
and now it's become popular.
Sure. - Right?
And people are using this word biohacking,
it's like the coolest thing out there.
Are you a biohacker?
What is that?
Globally, the biohacking movement
is gaining momentum with millions of people
embracing these practices
to enhance their well-being.
High profile individuals like Joe Rogan
and Elon Musk are amongst the many
who endorse the practice of biohacking.
Further driving its
popularity and credibility.
This surge is driven by
the increase awareness
of preventative healthcare
and the rising prevalence
of chronic disease.
I think we are biohacking the human being.
We're biohacking computers.
We're biohacking the
intelligence of the universe.
And I think the next 10
years will blow people's minds.
And if you have the time and the energy
and the resources to dive into this deep.
It's an amazing world.
Biohacking is incredible.
And I'm so excited to really
just be starting this journey.
I feel like over the
last four or five years,
I've learned so much.
But I feel like it's
the tip of the iceberg.
Yeah. - I mean, it just keeps going.
It's incredible.
By understanding the history
and the impact of biohacking,
we can better appreciate its potential
to revolutionize health and wellness.
Let me take you from the beginning.
Growing up in Armenia gave
me a very, very healthy start.
We were eating right off the ground,
healthy mineral soil,
you know, the water was clean.
My father was always into grounding.
He would always have us walk barefoot.
We were always under
the sun playing outside.
I grew up very, very, very healthy,
actually biohacking,
and I didn't really know
that that was biohacking,
until I moved to the
United States of America,
the beautiful country
of toxins when I was 20.
And, you know, I just
was living my young life
and eating sushi and eating salads outside,
and I thought, I'm being healthy.
I'm continuing on my healthy lifestyle.
Little did I know that those
were filled with glyphosates.
So living my healthy life
as I knew was actually very
unhealthy in the United States.
Former 2024 presidential candidate,
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Is a prominent figure in health
and environmental advocacy.
With a distinguished career as an attorney,
RFK Jr. has been a tireless
champion for public health,
exposing the hidden dangers
of environmental toxins
and advocating for
cleaner, healthier living.
He has also continued the legacy
of his iconic family fighting for justice
and the well-being of future generations.
Now he's leading the charge with the MAHA,
Make America Healthy Again,
an ambitious movement to revitalize
the nation's approach
to health and wellness.
In the early 2000s, the
obesity issue just exploded.
So something happened.
Genes don't cause epidemics.
These are epidemics.
Cigarettes kill one out of every four
of the customers who
use the product as directed.
But there's three people
who can smoke their whole lives
and they never get cancer. - Yeah.
But so it was a lot of these exposures,
they don't make everybody sick.
But if you have a problem,
if you're going in with autoimmune issues,
if your immune system vulnerabilities,
if you have a leaky gut,
if you get multiple exposures,
a lot of them operate along
the same biological pathways
and they can compound the
injury of just one exposure.
And today you have an
entire generation of our children
who are basically swimming
around in a toxic soup.
They have exposures from
the pesticides like glyphosate, herbicides,
pesticides like
neonicotinoids, like adenosine.
They're getting exposed in
their home on the furniture,
on their pajamas from PFOA, PFAS,
a Teflon that is in your cooking implements
that makes the eggs slide outta your pan.
Well, that stuff is toxic.
In today's world, the landscape of food
and nutrition is more confusing than ever
with conflicting information
about what is good or bad,
natural or processed.
It's hard to know what and who to trust.
Added to these complexities
are the hidden chemicals
in additives in our food
raising concerns about the
long-term impact of our health?
What is your number
one important health hack?
Like where do you start?
I'm gonna cheat a little bit.
Okay.
I'm gonna call it the basics.
At the end of the day,
it comes down to are you sleeping well?
Are you moving your body?
Are you getting out in nature?
Are you eating a nutrient dense diet
that is appropriate for you?
Are you focusing on organic foods
like quality fats, quality protein?
Are you getting enough protein?
Are you exercising?
Are you challenging your body
to build and maintain muscle?
This helps your body to regulate itself.
This helps you to have
a healthy metabolism.
And so if we can lay this foundation,
we often will say you can't optimize
a body that's not at homeostasis.
Homeostasis is the body's way
of maintaining internal balance.
Crucial for health,
food and water are key
players in providing nutrients
and hydration to keep our system stable
and functioning optimally.
So if you're down here,
you can't optimize.
So what you need to do is get yourself
kind of to where you should be.
And now we can start talking about
what can we do to get you above the line.
For people who want to do biohacking,
if they're eating the
standard American diet,
then they're not gonna get
what they need out of biohacking.
With the wrong food,
the medicines won't work.
With the right food, the
medicines aren't needed.
Liana Werner-Gray
is a renowned nutritionist
and bestselling author
who transformed her health
through natural foods
and now empowers others
to heal and thrive holistically.
Recently she spoke at
Kellogg's headquarters
joining health experts and
activists in MAHA's fight
to ban toxic ingredients in the US foods.
So my journey starts
from Outback Australia.
So I grew up in Alice Springs,
which is right in the center of Australia.
I went to an Aboriginal school.
So we learned very different things.
So from age five is when I can remember
learning about Indigenous culture,
and how the Aboriginal people used to live
for thousands and thousands of years
before civilization came.
They didn't have cancer.
They didn't have diabetes.
They didn't have obesity.
They had perfect digestion.
They were living in harmony with nature
and they had perfect health.
And they taught us that the healthiest way
for us to eat was to go
out to our own backyard
and to be able to pick
food straight from the bush
or the tree or get it from the ground.
And then the men would
also hunt for the animals.
And they would just have this perfect diet,
which nowadays we call,
you know, the paleo diet.
The paleo diet mimics the eating habits
of our ancestors focusing on whole foods
like meats, vegetables, and nuts.
It's about returning to
natural unprocessed foods
for optimal health.
I started to eat these foods
that were highly addictive.
And I loved that relief that
I got for 5 or 10 minutes.
Out one day at a concert,
and I had a sip of alcohol
and something just popped in my neck
and I thought, as you do,
"Oh, it's a swollen gland."
And then I went to see a naturopath,
and she's like, you need
to go to the hospital.
So I went to her
hospital, they did a biopsy,
which made the lump even bigger and harder.
And it turns out I had
early stages of cancer,
and I was 21 years old.
But I was not surprised.
I sat there in the hospital thinking,
"What have I done to myself?"
Because I knew I'd done it to myself,
especially because the tumor
was in my lymphatic system,
which is the body sewage system.
So I knew I'd put way
too much junk in there
that it wasn't able to
do its job and take it out.
But because of my upbringing,
the Aboriginal people also taught me
that if you just get
something cut out of your body,
but you don't actually go
within and heal the root cause
and go deep, it's just going
to pop up somewhere else.
So I was like, I'm gonna go heal myself
properly from the inside out.
So I chose to work with a naturopath
and a functional doctor.
And they gave me a plan
and they were like, "Look,
you need to clean out your gut."
They said the reason you have the tumor
in your lymphatic system is
because your gut is so unhealthy
and so full of junk and so full of toxins.
So that's when I started
drinking bentonite clay.
One of the biohacks
that I do still now today.
Bentonite clay is
formed from age volcanic ash.
It's renowned for its
detoxifying properties,
capable of absorbing and removing toxins
and impurities from the body.
When ingested, it aids digestion
and helps cleanse the gut.
It's a natural remedy used for centuries,
harnessing the Earth's power
to support our well-being.
So I did a colonic and a coffee enema,
alternated with those.
But after three months,
the tumor was completely gone.
Wow. - Completely dissolved.
I had the greatest gift of my life,
which has helped me
stick to it the last 14 years
and helped thousands of people.
And it's called the upgrade systems.
And I always reference
back to the Indigenous people.
I'm always saying to people,
well, what did they do?
And we need to be more like them
as much as we can, be like them,
in this modern world.
And to live as natural as
possible in this modern world.
Pick and choose your
poisons basically, if you have to.
My parents immigrated from Iran,
and I was blessed to
be born in Miami, Florida,
in the United States.
And I was left to my
own devices growing up.
My mom worked two jobs,
both at Kentucky Fried
Chickens, by the way.
And my parents were divorced.
So I was left to my own devices,
and I was very unhealthy growing up.
I was obese physically, obese mentally.
I was depressed, suicidal,
hung out with the wrong crowd.
And this transferred into my adulthood.
Where back in 2008,
I was 24 years old, 250 pounds.
I was lost in life looking on the internet
for ways to end my life.
Every time I explored suicide, Anthony,
I just kept thinking about my mom,
and the devastation she
would have to deal with
if I took my life.
So it stopped me from pursuing that.
Right.
And I knew I had to take
ownership and figure things out.
So I started to pick up some books.
I started to get into Dr. Wayne Dyer
and Tony Robbins and Bob Proctor.
And these books just did so much for me,
but they helped me take
ownership and responsibility.
And I started to move
my body, eat better foods,
and nine months, I went
from 34% body fat down
to 6% body fat, 250
pounds down to 170 pounds.
And it sparked this physical transformation
where I achieved a physical six pack.
But most importantly,
I achieved what I call a mental six pack
and what that food did for my mood.
And it really, I started
to connect the dots,
'cause my depression started to go.
And I started to realize
there's a connection
between the foods we eat
and the thoughts we think
and the actions we take.
I've ran companies,
I've been in the superfood
industry for 20 years,
and I've helped build
and source products all over the world.
If you're going to put
anything into your body,
you better know where it's from.
Yeah. - You better know
what it's going to do to you,
and how it is going to affect your body.

I am on a rage against sugar.
Sugar is a poison,
and it's everywhere and it's addictive.
Doesn't mean I'm perfect.
I will have, you know, a couple of
squares of dark chocolate.
If it's a holiday or birthday,
I'll eat a little bit of something.
But with intention and not mindlessly.
The order in which you
eat your food matters.
Eat the vegetables first.
And then the last thing is mindset.
Having a positive mindset
is one of the most important things.
So from that moment forward,
I just became this
like health investigator.
Yes, I was a chiropractor,
but I thought there was so much more.
And for me, it was uncovering
my own sugar addiction.
I had battled sugar
severely my entire life.
And for so many years I tried to stop,
you know, two weeks here, two months there.
But it's hard.
I mean sugar, it's not a food, it's a drug.
How do I know if a
food's good for me or not?
And the only way that you can be certain
is to ask your immune system,
Is your immune system fighting the food,
saying it's a problem?
If that's the case, you're
done with that food,
irrespective of how
you feel when you eat it.
You know that your immune
system, there to protect you.
If it's working hard to protect
you from white potatoes,
you're done with white potatoes.
Now there are some doctors who say,
well, just nobody should eat nightshades.
Well, I'm not sure I would agree with that.
I would say no one should eat a food
that your immune system is activated
'cause it's producing inflammation
that's pulling on your chain.
And so when we look at foods,
and we look at what's this person eating?
And we take out the main ones
that are triggering
inflammation in their body,
the result is all well,
almost always spectacular.
People start sleeping better
within a couple of weeks.
Their energy's up.
Their pains diminish.
Their brain function is better.
It doesn't matter what the symptoms are.
The goal is to reduce the inflammation.
So I came out in practice day one,
just ready to go to shout from the rooftops
that we have to identify
what is it in our lifestyle
that's contributing to the inflammation
while we feel fine.
We think we feel fine,
but inside this inflammation is going on
is called low grade chronic inflammation.
Dr. Mindy Pelz is a leading
expert in functional health, renowned for
her groundbreaking work
in the field of fasting and
hormone health. As a best-selling author
and popular YouTube
personality, Dr. Mindy has
inspired millions with her insights on
natural healing and biohacking.
As far as like understanding
hormones and fasting.
It really started in my
own personal journey.
At 40, I had a goal of wanting
to be in the best shape of my life.
And I hit it.
I came into the 40s, I felt amazing.
I was fit,
I was really at the peak of my health.
By 43, everything had unraveled.
I wasn't sleeping.
I was gaining weight.
My moods were really off.
And I hadn't changed a
single thing, not one thing.
And so I was trying to figure
out what had gone off with me.
And that's when I started
to dive into hormones,
and really look at, well,
what is happening to us
as we start to lose
estrogen and progesterone?
What lifestyle changes do we need to make?
And as I looked at the science,
I saw fasting as this incredible tool
for balancing hormones.
Fasting is the
practice of abstaining
from food for a set period. It allows the
body to enter a state of rest
and repair, promote cellular
regeneration and detoxification. Fasting
can boost metabolism, improve mental
clarity, and support weight loss.
And so started experimenting
with different length fasts
for myself, for my patients.
And I saw what was
working, especially for women.
And I took it to my online world.
And here we are, millions of views later.
We have a very clear pattern as to
how women should be living in accordance
with their hormones and
where fasting fits into that.
So here's a really interesting first sign
that your mitochondria are struggling,
and that's your ability to go without food.
If you are a hungry human that has to eat
in order to feel good,
your metabolic system is messed up,
and your mitochondria are struggling.
Mitochondria are the
powerhouses of our cells. They convert
nutrients into energy, fueling every
cellular process essential
for metabolism and energy production.
So start to notice, how
can you go without food?
If you can't go without food,
then we gotta look at
your meal combination.
We gotta look at compressing
your eating window,
and leaving longer periods for fasting.
It's mandatory, massively important.
I think there's a lack of true,
honest education out there surrounding it
because unfortunately you just get into
this tribal war online of
just different diet tribes.
And it's just who's louder
and who throws a bigger fit,
and who's willing to throw people
under the bus and who's not.
So you end up with this
constant banter back and forth of,
"Oh, you're a keto guy,
or oh, you're a vegan person."
Or rather than taking little
bits of each thing that work
and crafting the optimal
diet for performance
or cognitive or longevity or whatever,
we're here, you know,
I always say like the
enemy is out there, guys.
The enemy is out there.
The ultra processed food,
that's the enemy.
We're all in this house together.
Why are we fighting each other?
It's like a family.
It's like you fight and bicker
and then you realize, well, wait a minute.
No, it's us against the world.
So whether you're vegan, you're keto,
you're this or that.
Come on guys, we gotta come together
like we are all health-minded,
performance minded,
optimally driven people.
Catharine Arnston, the
visionary behind ENERGYbits
dedicated to harnessing the power of algae.
Catharine founded
ENERGYbits to provide a natural
and sustainable source
of energy and nutrition.
Algae, first of all is,
was the first life on Earth,
especially spirulina,
which is a cyanobacteria.
And that was 3 1/2 billion years ago.
And I remind people,
you can only be the first life once,
and it's still here.
So there's something
very special about algae.
There's two main types of algae.
One is called macroalgae,
and the other one is microalgae.
We're talking about microalgae here today.
But macroalgae is that stringy stuff
that washes up on shore.
Also known as seaweed, dulse or kelp.
Microalgae, which is what we have here.
Spirulina and chlorella in particular
is completely opposite.
It has virtually no
fiber or a little fiber,
and has the highest concentration
of nutrition in the world, in the universe.
This is because they're
microscopic in size.
You can get something like
a million microalgae on the head of a pin.
That's how tiny they are.
Microalgae are uncellular organisms
found in both fresh water
and marine environments.
These microscopic plants
are powerhouses of nutrition,
rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals,
and essential fatty acids.
And even United Nations says algae
is the spirulina is the
answer to world hunger
because it has so much attrition
in three times the
amount of protein at state.
So microalgae is everywhere.
It's not just in the ocean like seaweed.
It's in the rivers, the lakes, the streams,
the soil, your aquarium,
your swimming pool.
But the two that we're talking about today,
spirulina and chlorella
are harvested as food crop.
And what's particularly
important for people to understand
is that these aren't
just grown in the ocean.
These are harvested in fresh water.
It's called hydroponically grown.
Hydroponics is a method
of growing plants without soil
using nutrient-rich water solutions.
This technique allows plants to grow faster
and healthier by directly providing
essential nutrients to their roots.
Hydroponics offers a way to grow fresh,
nutritious food year round,
regardless of the
climate or soil conditions.
A scientist by the name of
Otto Warburg, W-A-R-B-U-R-G,
who discovered that cancer
can't exist in an alkaline environment.
And the testing was
done with chlorella algae.
Algae is the most
alkaline food in the world.
And he found out that your body,
your cells, need to
be slightly alkaline 7.1.
And a lot of people these
days have acidic diets.
They have sugar and carbs,
and actually emotion is very acidic.
Diseases are acidic.
So when you're taking algae,
you are helping your
body in at the cellular level
to get to that 7.1 slightly alkaline state
that can protect you from diseases.
And here's the best part about it,
because it's grown
in fresh water in Asia
and then air dried into a powder,
and then we press them into little tablets
that we affectionately call bits,
because they're bits of nutrition.
And each one of these
tablets has the same nutrition
as an entire plate of vegetables.
And all you need to do
is swallow or chew them.
Are you kidding?
It's a dream come true for us.
I just had a plate of vegetables,
just while I'm talking to you.
I like to chew them,
but most people swallow them.
So we recommend starting out with five
a day. - Powders are no, no.
So now you get all the
nutrition of vegetables,
none of the work,
it never literally goes bad,
but we put a three
year expiry date on them.
Yeah. - What vegetable
will last three years, right? - Yeah.
It's safe for every age,
newborns. - No glyphosates.
That's what I'm saying.
It's missing glyphosate in it,
pesticides. - There's no glyphosate.
There's no carnivores.
Listen up.
There's no lectins or oxalates.
So one of the many things about algae
is it gives you all the
benefits of any food group.
Highest protein in the world,
highest chlorophyll in the world,
40 vitamins and minerals,
but no lectins, no oxalates,
no carb, zero carbs.
So it's great for people
who are intermittent fasting,
who are doing keto,
who are doing low carbs.
So it's vegan,
it doesn't decrease your ketones,
doesn't increase your glucose
if you're diabetic or pre-diabetic.
This is for you.
And it's effortless.
You just saw I took a tablet
and had the equivalent
of a plate of vegetables.
So moms, you know,
get your kids using this,
because don't give them a sugary bar
before their soccer game.
Give them a three or
four spirulina tablets,
which will energize
their brain and their body,
'cause they do different things.
So a pouch of spirulina,
we have them in little single
serving pouches as well.
There's 30 tablets in here.
And if you were doing bodybuilding,
or you're doing an athletic sport
or you wanted this for a meal replacement.
We would suggest the 30 tablets
just for your regular day to day.
10 tablets is fine.
Now 30 tablets will give
you five grams of protein.
And you think, well, that's not very much.
But here's the thing,
that five grams of protein
are already in amino acid form.
So your body doesn't have to break
the protein down to
get access to the aminos.
It has 8 in the 20 aminos,
including the nine your body can't make.
So it's a complete protein.
I call this your nutrition insurance
because it fills all the nutritional gaps.
So you don't have to eat anything else
or whatever you eat,
it's just for entertainment.
And I call this your health insurance.
So we need to learn
how to protect ourselves.
We need to take back
the control of our health.
And algae is one of the
ways that you can do it.
And again, I keep commenting
about how effortless it is
because a lot of these things,
you have to spend a lot of money.
You have to go out in your car,
or whatever to get your treatment.
This you can do at home,
you can do it with your other biohack.
You don't have to go anywhere.
And I chuckled 'cause there's a lot of
news coverage about Brian,
is it Brian Thompson? - Johnson.
Johnson. - Johnson.
And how he's biohacking himself to,
and I think he has spent $5 million
about an average of two million a year.
And over those five years or few years,
and $5 million, he's been able to
take his biological age
down one or or two years.
Well, I have an interesting story for you.
I'm good friends with Patrick
Porter and the BrainTap folks.
And we see them at all the conferences.
And they have this device that
they measure all your markers
to find out your biological age
as opposed to your chronological age.
Normally what they do is they measure you,
then put you on their device
and then measure you again.
And you'll see that your
biological age decreased.
But for me, what they did
is they took my markers,
I went and ate the
equivalent of two pouches,
which are $6 each, came
back and they tested me again.
And in the space of one hour,
and the equivalent of $12,
I knocked 30 years off
my chronological age.
Wow.
I am 67,
and my biological age,
and I have the paperwork,
their jaws dropped
when they saw, it was 30.
Wow. - Wow.
30, my biological age is 30,
my chronological age is 67.
There are things that we can do
in our lifestyle that will protect us.
And there are things
we can do in our lifestyle
that will accelerate the traumas.
Like for instance, alcohol.
Alcohol not only interrupts
chemistry of the brain,
it drops growth hormone in the brain.
If you drop growth hormone in the brain,
you drop IGF1 insulin-like
growth factor in the liver.
It interrupts estrogen.
Estrogen plays an incredible role
in both males and females
for keeping us cognitively
present with cognition.
Certain nutrients that we take in our food.
So food's very important.
Vitamin E, gamma tocopherol,
glutathione, penicillin-cysteine,
vitamin C, fish oil,
omega threes, DHA very
important for brain function
because it generates two
protective chemicals in the brain.
So there are things you can do.
Good hydration, good nutrition, good sleep,
avoid alcohol, avoid
inflammatory nutrition,
'cause that inflammation
disrupts the chemistry in the brain.
If we don't use our brains,
and we have social isolation, for example,
and you do a brain
imaging scan on that person,
it looks like they have
Alzheimer's disease.
But you could take that same person,
pull them out of social isolation
and expose them to an enriched environment.
And it could look like
they have a brain of like
a 12-year-old or a 10-year-old.
That's learning something new.
So that's kind of like a demand
driven enhancement of metabolic health.
So I think it's really
important to be proactive
with your metabolic
health in regard to exercise,
in regard to nutrition, of course, sleep,
but also stimulating your brain too,
and all these things are synergistic.
So if you have a perfect
diet and social isolation,
you're feeding your brain.
If we change our metabolic physiology,
we change our brain energy
and we change the
neuropharmacology of our brain.
That's a big theme of
metabolic health, right?
But if you do that in the context
of social isolation and you do brain scans,
it could look like you have a
neurodegenerative disease.
So I think a big theme
of what we're trying to do
with the Metabolic Health
Summit is just not make it about,
diet and GLP1 agonists and things,
but to make it about
nutrition, metabolic drugs,
but also about mental health.
Aggie Lal is a renowned biohacker
and wellness advocate.
Aggie inspires millions to live healthier,
more vibrant lives
through holistic practices
and biohacking techniques.
I was lucky enough to
just kind of get a free pass
until I was 30 years old,
'cause I could eat anything I want.
I was vegan, I was traveling
the world, jet setting.
I was a travel influencer,
working with top hotels in the world.
Like I would stay at five
star hotels 300 days a year.
So it was like that was my life
and access to the most incredible food.
And then a few years ago,
I hit like a rock button
when I was exhausted
and constantly needing coffee,
constantly snacking,
my skin got really bad.
My hair was falling out in patches.
I gained a lot of weight,
and I just felt really
puffy and really depressed.
And I kept thinking like,
there is something wrong with me.
I will never be healthy, I'll never be fit.
I dunno if you can relate,
but there's that level of brokenness
that I just felt like,
"Oh no, this is it.
This is the end of my life."
And just feeling like
you are out of control
of your own life, out of
your own story in a way.
And then I discovered biohacking
and it was great at the beginning.
I was like, "Wow, this
is the best thing ever.
Why is no one doing this?"
And then I realized,
I'm like, okay, we're like,
we're are all the women actually,
'cause it was a little bit like golf.
It was just full of older men.
And I was like, this is great,
but like how do we biohack as women?
That was way before
the books like Mindy Pelz,
and it was just kind
of like trial and error,
and trying to see what do I do
on the first day of my
cycle versus my day 28?
How do I even read my cycle
to know if I'm thriving or if I'm not?
And I think that was the
beginning of my journey.
And biohacking was a hobby
that I was trying to have on a side,
and then became kind of my mission
just because I didn't feel like
young women are represented
enough in the space.
And I was just like, "Come on girls,
let's take over the space."
And the future of biohacking is using...
It's like extreme personalization, right?
So it's not about taking vitamin C
because everyone tells you that-
Sure. - You should take it.
You're gonna be able to truly customize it.
So every day, like we
have different supplements
for different part of the cycle, right?
So what you need on day two is not the same
as what you need at day 25, right?
So we change the formula
depending on the day and part of the phase.
But yeah, I think the future
is really just extreme personalization.
What your son needs at four is not the same
as he needs at five,
and same for you, et cetera, et cetera.
It must be stress,
and that's why you have all these labels.
And that's why you
have all of the diseases.
And I was so determined
to prove everyone wrong
because I was so tired of
going from doctor to doctor
for many years, I think five plus years.
And everyone said it's stress.
So that's when I downloaded an app
called the Waking Up app,
Meditation,
and I meditated,
and people told me after six months.
They were like, "What did you do?"
Because you were like
such a different person.
So in the sense, it's great,
because I became much more calmed down.
So nervous system regulation
looking back was a massive thing as well.
Wow.
But it was not everything for me.
It did regulate me in a sense,
stress was reduced to very, very low level,
but it was mainly the food, I think,
because I healed fully,
that switch of the six months
was during the last six months of my PhD,
which is the most stressful
periods of of my life.
So you didn't use any red
lights or PEMF or cold plunge
or any of the actual modalities
like products that are now
like big deals in the biohacking industry?
No. - Wow.
Because you're young enough
to actually use food as your medicine.
I think people don't
understand how important food
and nutrition is, and
they eat the wrong foods,
and it really messes up their mouth,
and it messes up that garden,
that beautiful garden,
little, little, little garden in your mouth
called the microbiome.
And so when you don't eat the right foods,
you eat sugary like breads
and pastries and candy.
What that does is it
changes the pH in the mouth
and then bad bugs grow
instead of the good bugs.
The good bugs are called probiotics.
The bad bugs are called pathogens.
And what we want are more good bugs and-
I thought it's called parasites.
And parasites are bad bugs.
Yeah, that was very smart.
How did you know about that?
I have them.
Oh, you have them.
I was going into work on a Friday morning,
and I looked in the mirror,
and I said, "I've got this all wrong."
I shouldn't operate on people,
and then teach them how to
eat to avoid me in the future.
I should teach them how to eat,
and I'll never have to operate on them.
Now as a heart surgeon,
that's a really bad career decision.
Really stupid as my wife reminded me
for many, many years after.
But I went in and I resigned my position
at the height of my career.
And I went to Palm Springs,
which is right down the road
from Loma Linda here
in Southern California.
And I opened up a clinic.
And because I'm a
researcher, I just ask people.
Look, there's certain foods I
wanna remove from your diet,
and there's other foods I want you to eat,
and here's the list of yes and no foods.
And I want you to go
to Costco or Trader Joe's
or a health food store
and buy some supplements.
There wasn't an Amazon back then,
and every three months, I
want to draw blood on you,
looking at really weird tests,
but insurance will cover it.
And I wanna see what happens, are you game?
And they were.
And so that actually resulted in being able
to track dietary changes
and supplement changes,
see what worked, see what didn't.
And eventually, seven years ago now,
I wrote "The Plant Paradox,"
which is I guess is still one
of the biggest selling books there is.
Yeah.
That basically there are certain plants
that we were designed to eat.
And there are other plants
that we were not designed to eat.
In fact, they don't want us to eat them.
My protocol is to seek
to understand ancestral
practices that have been,
which our biology is really adapted to.
So one of those would be to eat real food.
Avoid all processed food,
and that includes many people,
you have a lot of confusion,
people think they go to a restaurant
and somehow that a rule doesn't apply,
but it actually applies on steroids,
because you have to be
more careful at a restaurant.
It's the rare restaurant
where you can really eat healthily out.
So that's the first thing.
And why?
Because they processed the food.
In the late 1800s, they developed
a system to extract oils from seeds,
sometimes called vegetable oils
that are very, very dangerous and these...
Because they're highly perishable
to susceptible oxidative stress,
they get into our tissues at levels
that are 25 times higher,
which is 2,500% higher.
And as a result,
they contribute to these
degenerative diseases
like obesity, cancer,
heart disease, dementia.
Teri Cochrane is a trailblazer
in integrative health and wellness,
renowned for her
distinguished celebrity client list.
As the founder of "The Wildatarian Diet."
Teri blends cutting edge
science with holistic practices
to help individuals achieve peak health.
I didn't intend to have
this second 20 year career.
I had spent my first 20 years
in institutional risk management
and real estate finance.
And with my son's birth, who was my first,
by the age of three,
we were told to expect brain seizures
that he wouldn't grow past five foot four.
He wasn't walking or talking.
He had the bone density of an 18 month old.
And so when you're
given that initial diagnosis,
you're going to have a broken child.
You take a breath and you
go, "Well what do we do?
Can we live with this?
How will we live with this?"
But then something greater
started breathing through me,
"Well, what if it doesn't
have to be this way?"
And what we saw is over the years,
this was at three, four, five,
six, he was falling off the
cliff further and further.
So bronchodilators and
steroids were given that doses
that were adult sized
doses and antibiotics,
and he just kept getting weaker and weaker.
And then I finally decided,
"What if it doesn't have to be this way?"
So I had deployed my risk management skills
in real estate to risk managing his health.
And so libraries, books,
families, I would study children,
and see how are they
doing in his preschool.
If they were sick,
are they getting better over the year?
And I became this rabid researcher,
and pouring over 75 books.
I finally had an epiphany,
"Oh my gosh, the food we are feeding him
with all good intentions is
literally poisoning my child."
And so all these foods of corn
and chicken and peanuts and wheat,
and this is before we knew
about gluten being such an issue,
we're literally stopping his
body from biochemically doing
what it was supposed to be doing.
And within several days
of eliminating these foods,
he started breathing.
His allergic shiners started receding.
And I thought, I'm onto something.
And so over the next five years,
I was still working at my day job,
yet people would start
to come into my office
and not ask me about the risk of the deal.
They'd ask me about
the risk of their child.
Can you help me with my child's asthma?
Can you help me with my child's ADHD?
So they started calling me Dr. Teri.
I knew that this was
something that I needed to do
to be that mother for other parents
that were told your child
is broken and deal with it.
So this was the catalyzer for me
to be the really the
disease detective of the why.
I'm not a doctor, but
I went back to school,
and I studied functional nutrition,
biochemistry, healing sciences.
I studied with shamans.
I studied healing touch
'cause we're all energy.
And so I remind my children
that they're the legacy
of what's now touched tens of thousands
of people over these next 20 years,
and that continues to grow.
So I'm so humbled by the power of the body
to do what it needs to do
when you give it what it needs
and it doesn't take
years, it can take days.
And you already start seeing miracles,
because food I call the
alpha and the omega,
we can get everything else right.
And as a biohacker, I go to food first,
because we can have the most
extremely intelligent technology
on the biohacking space.
But if it's not to your genetic blueprint
and your current state
of health to your N of 1,
you could actually be doing damage.
And so what I did is I
developed three supplements.
One is an immune support
called Immune-mover.
Dave Asprey actually helped me name them.
The second one is a stress formula,
which is called Stress Mover.
And the third one is
I call it Wild-lytes
under my Wildatarian umbrella.
And that is, it's the only
electrolyte in the marketplace.
It's three simple ingredients.
It's all organic,
but it really helps my athletes,
and babies take them.
And so what we've done is,
what I did is I created
this gene smart approach
removing certain ingredients
that can flip genes in the
majority of the population.
Why is electrolyte important?
I don't really have
that much respect for it.
I've been taking yours
and I do feel more energy,
but I don't really understand
exactly what it does.
So electrolytes are kind of like
the pre-electricity of our body.
We are energy.
And so electrolytes are
important for feeding our heart,
our kidneys are communication vehicle,
electrolytes also move debris through.
So our lymphatic, we
can get what I call fluffy,
if our lymph is backed up
because we don't have
the proper electrolytes,
which are the minerals of
calcium, magnesium, phosphorus,
and so forth and potassium
to help move those,
move that debris.
And so without electrolytes,
you can actually stop your heart.
As Dr. Lipton says,
"We're not that complicated
as a human species.
We're 23,000 or so
genes like an earthworm."
The difference is we grow a bigger brain.
And in those 23,000 genes,
I believe that I have found
with my methodology of the Cochrane method
for major disruptors.
And those are protein, malabsorption,
sulfur malabsorption, oxalate malabsorption
and fat metabolism impairment.
And under those you have the umbrella
of genes that move to that.
When we flip the genes
in another way, it's magical.
It is magical.
It literally is days.
I work with a lot of autism.
I've helped children move out of autism.
In every case, these kids have
the methylation background.
They also have the oxalate vulnerability.
They have the sulfur vulnerability,
and they have the fat
metabolism vulnerability.
And what I see is it's just
the other side of genius
because these genes also
create genius creatives,
unbelievable empaths.
Yeah. - And so what I tell
my clients is make your
vulnerability your superpower.
Food is like really important.
Nutrition. - Organic food nowadays
costs more.
It's worth it.
If you can't do it,
get yourself a garden and grow your food.
Because food, a lot of the food is toxic.
Never eat at a fast food restaurant.
Stay away from anything in a package.
If it's packaged foods, don't eat it.
Stay away from all grains.
Now this is just a starter
to sort of get people bodies going.
And for most people this works really well.
So go off all grains, go off all legumes.
And we take people off
nitrate vegetables at the start.
So eggplant and peppers and tomatoes,
goji berries, those are the
usual ones that people eat.
And then take people off
dairy that contains dairy protein.
So they can have butter,
they can have ghee,
sort of a rarefied butter.
They could have heavy cream.
Some cream cheeses are really pure.
And when you look on the package,
you know, it's like 99.9% fat,
'cause the dairy fats for most people
are good and they're acceptable.
And I have people do that
for the first three months.
Wow. - Interesting.
It makes a huge, huge
difference for most people.
I think environmentally
we have to figure out
what trash we're feeding our children.
What trashy containers they come in.
Not putting plastic in our microwaves,
not putting everything in baggies,
that kind of environmental toxins
or processed food toxins.
Listen, in nature, the
only fluorescent food
I know about is kiwi.
Anything you find on the
shelf that is fluorescent,
I mean... Sure.
Right, so there are those two things.
But you and I had talked about this before
about how you involve
your children in your work,
and they have learned from a
very young age about health.
I did that.
We raised six athletes.
My youngest child never had baby food.
She was only fed off my plate, right?
'Cause I knew what I was taking.
I don't know what's in that stuff,
right? - Yeah.
My biggest message to
parents of generation alpha
is if you want healthy
children, be healthy.
We now have three or four generations
of unhealthy people
who now think it's fine.
It's the norm.
It's the norm. - Yeah.
And so it becomes eliminating food policy,
eliminating food deserts.
Where can people get healthy food
that does not involve
a corner bodega, right?
Or riding four buses,
or eating things that
have a shelf life of 25 years,
right? - Yeah.
It's educating families that,
that here is how portion control is.
Running around outside
is the best form of play,
you hear all the time.
And I gave my youngest
daughter a cell phone
at 11 for safety,
but teachers now tell me
that kids can't concentrate
on multi-instruction tasks
because their attention spans are so low.
So I feel like for generation alpha,
it comes from what the
parents show their children
and the rules the parents make,
'cause the kids can't have
what their parents don't give them.
As a former pro-athlete,
and Gary's an athlete,
we got introduced to
a scientist in Florida,
actually, University of South Florida guy
by the name of Dominic D'Agostino.
Oh, we just interviewed him.
Yeah, great guy.
He's very smart.
So we flew down here, met him,
and to be quite frank, I said,
"Dominic, I think you're full of doodoo."
And he said, "What are talking about?"
And I go as a pro athlete,
you're describing this
thing called a ketone,
which I've never heard of before,
and it sounds too good to be true.
And so Gary and I got
on a plane to fly back,
and I said, "There's nothing here."
But to Gary's credit, he goes,
"I'm telling you, I think
there's something here."
So we bought that patent,
and that was the perpetuous
that started this whole company,
which is called Access Global Sciences,
which gets you into the vault.
But not to talk bad about the competition,
but there's a sea of products out there
that are not healthy. - Right.
So how could we literally
create something that was healthy?
So first, we said, "We
gotta create something
that doesn't have sugar in it,"
and we'll get into that.
But just as importantly,
which no one's really
talked about is caffeine.
So how can we create a...
And it's kind of interesting when you say
create an energy drink that
doesn't have caffeine in it
and doesn't have sugar in it.
How the hell do you do that? - Yeah.
So we said we're gonna do that,
and we're gonna put grams in this product
as opposed to milligrams.
So when you look at a supplement panel
on all the energy drinks,
they have milligrams of product in it.
Right.
We're literally gonna put 60 grams
of this incredible technology,
which is called a ketone
or beta-hydroxybutyrate.
And that's what we did.
We have literally created
the most powerful,
healthy drink ever made.
We've seen how essential
the right foods are
for maintaining our body's
balance and overall well-being.
Equally vital is the role of water.
Proper hydration is crucial
for every bodily function,
from digestion to detoxification,
ensuring our systems operate at their best.
Water, I mean, water is life.
Water is life.
In the Western world,
water primarily comes from
natural resources like rivers,
lakes, and underground amplifiers.
Many believe it goes through
rigorous purification processes
to ensure the safety and quality.
However, what if the truth about our water
isn't as clear as it seems?
In South Jersey where I grew up,
we were surrounded by chemical plants,
and there was toxic wells from the dumping.
There was toxic wells
from gas tanks leaking into the ground.
All these things were going
on and affecting people.
And most of these things
that are really, really bad for you,
you'll never smell, taste,
or even know they're
there unless you test for 'em.
I do a lot of work up in New York City
and in the Catskills and
the Delaware water gap
where their two biggest
water resources for Manhattan,
the water comes from there into the city,
but it goes through
miles of concrete culverts,
and then it goes through
miles and miles of pipes.
Some of the pipes are
over a hundred years old,
they have lead and chromium
and all kinds of garbage in 'em.
So by the time it gets to
the buildings or to the people
or wherever you're at the
restaurant, it's not so good.
And the cities are adding
things to the water too.
They are doing their part to an extent.
But I really believe because
99% of all water used
is not used for drinking.
So they're not gonna treat the water
as we would want to ingest
it or transdermally absorb it.
So every time you take a shower
is equivalent to drinking
a glass as a tap water.
So what we did was we
used the best technology
to get rid of all this nasty things,
all the way down the
pharmaceutical residue.
Most people don't know,
but almost most municipalities of sizable,
you know, stature, recycle their water.
And 25% of municipal water
probably coming outta
this tap right here today
where we're at is recycled wastewater.
And that's where the
pharmaceuticals are coming from,
and that's what makes us different.
Our pre-filtration is so good
that I can guarantee you
even that pharmaceutical
residue is not there anymore.
The pH prescription
water filtration system
employs a multi-stage process
to ensure the highest water quality.
First, the water passes
through a carbon filter
to remove chlorine and
organic contaminates.
Next, a ceramic filter eliminates bacteria,
parasites, and microplastics.
The system then incorporates ion exchange
and reverse osmosis to remove heavy metals
and additional impurities.
Finally, essential minerals
are added back to the water,
adjusting the pH levels
to create alkaline water
Because most people don't know,
but pH goes from 0 to 14,
seven being the center of that.
That's neutral.
Anything above seven is alkaline.
Anything below seven is acidic.
So we wanna see that water
somewhere between seven and eight.
That was our target.
We've came up with a
combination of minerals
that is just so amazing that it not only,
after I purify the water to absolute,
so there's nothing in it.
I remineralize it with these minerals,
and these minerals, gas
off molecular hydrogen.
And this hydrogen will get in the water
and then you drink it.
And that voltage, what does hydrogen do?
Hydrogen acts as an antioxidant
and it donates an electron.
So that donate electron
knocks out that free radical.
So the oxidative fire going on your body,
this water is gonna put it out.
And because the water is mineralized,
it has a pH balance, slightly alkaline pH.
And this pH is gonna help
your neutralize your body,
and it's not gonna mess
with your stomach acid.
Stomach acid, primarily composed
of hydrochloric acid
is crucial for digestion.
Breaking down food and absorbing nutrients.
The pH level of water
can influence stomach acid,
drinking too much alkaline
water can dilute stomach acid,
potentially hindering digestion.
What are your thoughts
about structuring the water?
The structured is a term I
think that is super overused.
And I'm gonna say why.
I like the word micro-clustering
or making it smaller, right?
Molecular bonds.
It's something you can test.
You can do an NMR test,
and you can see what the
molecular bond of something,
and you can see it's smaller or larger.
But we're gonna be on
the cutting edge front line
of this the whole time.
And I got clients that have
the same drinking system
I put in 20 years ago,
but with my updated filtration system.
Right. - So they didn't have
to get a new water system,
they just got new filters.
And one thing about our drinking systems,
I'll tell you what.
It'll never give you bad
water at just some point.
It'll stop giving you water
because the filters weren't
changed and they clog up.
Right. - So that's the up side.
New York water is some
of the best city water.
And I had to go up one of the big builders,
one of the biggest property owners
in New York is one of my clients.
And I had to go up to their
high rise on the 78th floor,
and give a lecture about the
quality of New York tap water.
So I had to take the first five slides,
and praise the water quality
from where it comes from.
And then I had to slowly bring them in
to where they're really at, you know,
and it goes through the
miles of concrete culverts.
Yeah.
And that's picking up arsenic,
'cause arsenics in the concrete
and then it's going through pipes.
Some of 'em, I was having dinner
with the guy from American
Water the night before
and he had given me pictures of
what those mains look
like, that they cut open,
'cause they make the tie-ins for
the commercial buildings
and how old they are.
I mean, back in the day
they were using wood
and encasing it in concrete.
And some of the pipes are still old wood,
and some got lead in it and all that.
And it's showing up in their tap water.
So New York will go to some great lengths
to protect the people and do certain things
where other places they can't afford to.
Sure.
So you're at the mercy of where you're at.
What about electrolytes?
Talk to me about that,
because that's a whole nother thing
that you hear about, right?
It's packaged and sold.
You package and sold like no,
get the water with the electrolytes.
What's the story with that?
Most of these electrolyte drinks,
or energy drinks or sports
drinks, I'm gonna say.
Again, I'm not gonna name 'em
'cause I know everybody in the industry.
I do the filtration for some of
'em, you know what I mean?
So I gotta be careful.
But it's the sugar that's added
is where the electrolyte
mainly is coming from.
It's not really anything
special that they did to it.
The electrolytes I always find
is generally in a product
that's loaded with sugar.
Dr. Otto Warburg said, he
said, "The cell is immortal."
It's merely the fluid that
surrounds it that degenerates.
As far as we know,
"the cellular life may
be able to go on forever."
So it's the proof
that if we can get the
right water into ourself,
keep the toxins and waste out of ourself,
we're gonna have a really good chance
of living a longer, healthier life.
By integrating innovative technology
with holistic practices.
LumiVitae aims to optimize well-being
and promote a balanced,
healthier lifestyle.
They are redefining the future of wellness
with their cutting edge solutions.
Where do we even start?
This water bottle is much
more than a water bottle.
It really is like a
mini planet in a bottle.
At the base of it, we've got these magnets,
which mimic the Earth's magnetic field.
At the top, we've got frequencies
that mimic the sun sunlight.
And then we're making hydrogen,
hydrogen rich water.
We are really trying to mimic the kind of,
I guess, ancient waters that we evolved on,
that we just don't have now.
Why is hydrogen so important?
Well, for first, it's the
beginning of all life.
So all life came from hydrogen.
The sun is 99% hydrogen.
And every single one
of our cells actually run
and need hydrogen for cellular function.
Water essential to life is composed
of two hydrogen atoms
bonded to one oxygen atom
forming H2O.
So what am I supposed to feel
when I drink hydrogen water?
So the nice thing about hydrogen
or molecular hydrogen specifically
is hydrogen has this own intelligence
where it actually is able to
not only just penetrate yourself,
it also is the main component
of your antioxidant response.
So it's actually called the ARE.
So your ability to have
antioxidant capabilities,
meaning detoxifying the
cell, healthy gene expression,
everything from inflammatory responses.
So really the hydrogen is
simply penetrating the cell
and activating this pathway.
And this pathway is really what's creating
all the therapeutic benefits.
So with that said,
it's really determined on
what's going on in your body.
You know, somebody
that is in pretty good health
might actually just feel more
revitalized, more energized,
and you know, the hydrogen's
just working on all the cells.
Whereas somebody that's in
more of a degenerative state,
maybe it's gonna go to a cluster
or colony of cells that
are in trouble in the body
because it literally scavenges the body
for oxidative stress free radical damage
and starts working on the highest priority,
which is why it's so incredible
because it's beyond our intelligence.
Is there such thing as
overdosing on the hydrogen water?
No, I mean, that's the wonderful thing
about molecular hydrogen.
I mean, there's so many
therapeutic benefits to it,
but there's actually no side effects.
There's no negatives to taking in hydrogen.
Because whatever the body doesn't use
it just simply lets go of.
So this is the beautiful
thing about hydrogen.
What's the difference between
stress and oxidative stress?
Well, it's a very good question.
So stress is stress, period.
You're gonna produce reactive
oxygen species no matter what.
Even if you exercise, which
we consider exercise healthy,
you're producing reactive oxygen species.
It's a byproduct of all cell function.
So cellular respiration is
how we produce energy ATP,
but we also produce ROS,
reactive oxygen species.
There's some beneficial ones,
and there's not beneficial ones.
And so the goal is
balance, it's harmony, right?
If we have too much oxidation,
then we need to have enough
reduction to balance that.
So I think all stress on the body,
when we say good stress,
exercise is an example
of that within a realm.
You're creating stress,
which is actually gonna increase
the NRF2 pathways to be activated.
You know, the body goes on alert
and starts to kind of go to work
with detoxification and balance.
But if you push too far,
which is I think where
everybody is, it's too far.
We're living so outside our element,
we're behind screens all day.
We're not in nature,
you know, we're not...
We need to get back to source,
which is why we put
the world of microcosm
of Earth inside the bottle,
is that's what we need is more reduction.
So I would say all stress
is creating response,
but we need to be able to
reduce the oxidative stress.
In our exploration of biohacking
and really just health spanning,
we heard this word stacking a lot, right?
Stacking modalities.
And this is really stacking
a bunch of different things, right?
Because number one, the energy,
number two, recovery,
number three, hydration,
number four, there's a
business component, right?
Because now you're allowing
other people to actually grow
and benefit from helping other people
because you're offering
business opportunity
as well with this, right?
Inside of the wellness space,
I think that one of the areas that
is often overlooked is financial wellness.
I mean, at the end of the day,
that causes most people chronic stress.
And we know that chronic stress is really,
the leading cause of
many illnesses and diseases.
And so if we can help people
get out of that state as well,
as well as get them healthy and hydrated,
then we've really got a
really nice holistic model
in keeping people really well.
And so, yeah, we have
this beautiful business model
that also comes with it.
I would also say it also comes
with this incredible community around it.
They're very conscious communities.
They're very conscious about
what they're putting in their body,
but they're really here
to actually make a
difference on the planet.
And so let's say I want
to become an affiliate
or a brand partner.
How do I start my journey
and what does my day to day life look like?
Your day is probably gonna be filled
with a lot of education
because we're very big on making sure
we can tap you into the
best education available.
That's why we have the incredible,
Carrie Drinkwine, Dr. Tyler Baron,
who also consults for us as well.
Dr. Michelle Patrick, who
also is on our education board
to make sure we're really getting
the right education to our community.
But, you know, day to day
it's also their own business.
They get to choose to do it
anyway that feels best for them.
And so yes, you're gonna have mothers
that are gonna do it in a certain way,
and yes, you might have
real estate agents who do it
in a different kind of way.
This is the beauty about it.
You've got a business
that's your own business,
but you're not by yourself. - Yeah.
You've got this entire community
that's really cheering you on,
really surrounding you.
The other thing though is the education on
why we are different from
every other bottle that exists?
Yeah.
And that's really why
LumiVitae is taking off
in the way that it is,
because you can Google molecular hydrogen
and buy a bottle for 60 or $80 on Amazon,
but we actually have the scientific proof
that these bottles are actually
leaching heavy metals and arsenic
and byproducts that are
actually damaging your body.
So in an attempt to get well,
somebody has taken a concept,
and said, "Let me outsource this to China.
Let me outsource this
and have somebody make me a cheap bottle."
And that's what people are buying.
And so that's why our passion is education,
proper education,
and you really do get what you pay for.
So this is the best bottle on the market.
And there's nothing else
that can be duplicated like this
because we have our own in-house inventor.
Yeah, yeah.
You guys both exude excellence,
which is what's needed when someone
is looking to heal themselves,
and really just get on
a journey of wellness.
And I think it's important
that it starts from the top down.
Molecular hydrogen has antioxidant effects,
which we have shown in
research has therapeutic effects.
And then if you think about the world today
with all the antibiotic use and everything,
it essentially decimate our microflora.
So we don't eat as
much fiber as we used to,
and we're having all the antibiotics.
So people are producing less hydrogen gas.
And just an interesting correlation.
And the Japanese centenarians,
they did a study and they found that
the centenarians have higher
levels of breath hydrogen,
endogenous breath hydrogen.
Actually, you wonder,
right? - Yeah, yeah.
Is there a correlation
to this longevity aspect?
And indeed, hydrogen does signal,
has certain signaling
effects at the cellular
or the DNA level to influence
the DNA, the expression,
the epigenetics to promote
longevity and anti-aging
and some of these different areas.
A quick introduction of
myself, I'm George Wiseman.
I grew up as a cowboy on a cattle ranch,
therefore, you can take
the boy out of the country,
but you just can't take
the country outta the boy.
Now this ranch was way back in the woods.
We didn't have any power, no plumbing.
We didn't even get radio.
But when I got off the ranch,
I decided I was gonna be an
alternative energy researcher.
So I would never be without
running hot and cold water
and electricity again.
So I developed Eagle Research
eventually because of that.
Now, it so happened that on the ranch
we fixed all our own things.
We lived...
It was a day's drive
to go to town and back.
So if there was automotive things
or mechanical things that needed fixing,
plumbing, whatever happened it was,
you had to do it yourself.
And I was very good with automotive
because I could fix things.
And it turns out my first invention
was something I called
a Carburetor Enhancer.
It turned out that I could get
at least 25% greater fuel mileage
on virtually any vehicle with a carburetor.
So that's how Eagle Research got started.
In 1996, a customer using
one of my water torches,
which was a Brown's gas electrolyzer
large enough to provide fuel gas
to a normal oxy-acetylene torch.
And so he decided to
bubble the gas in water
and then put the water,
the bubbled water on a melanoma
on his forehead, skin cancer.
Why?
I don't know,
but he did it.
And in three weeks his melanoma was gone.
Wow.
Now this has been duplicated.
For example, a recent
podcast I was on by Crow.
His mother had a melanoma in her hair,
and exactly the same thing happened.
He took the Brown's gas put
it on his mother's melanoma.
And in within three weeks it was gone.
But back in 1996, I didn't believe him.
It was nine years before
my customers convinced me
to bubble the Brown's gas in water,
just like we bubbling in here,
and drink it myself.
So it was 2005 before I
actually started drinking
the Brown's gas bubbled water myself.
So in 2007, I decided after a couple years
of drinking the water.
It was a great thing because
I didn't get sick anymore.
And in fact, I haven't
been sick with colds and flus
and running noses
and all that kind of stuff,
COVID?
Even with all this recent pandemic stuff
that was going around the world.
So in 2007, I started
recommending to people,
and I developed a little device,
actually it was assembly of pipes
that I called the ER50.
But in December of 2015,
people were asking me,
can we inhale the gas?
One of my customers sent me a video
of a Korean hydrogen bar.
And I decided that I
would videotape myself,
which is still on my YouTube channel,
this first time that I inhaled Brown's gas.
So I set up one of my ER50s,
which was for bubbling
water for inhalation.
And I videotaped myself just in case
something went wrong.
There would be a videotape of my idiocy
and everything went great.
And I started having health
improvements within a few weeks.
And so within three
months I recommended okay,
out there I was wrong.
You can inhale.
And these are some of the
benefits I've been having.
Our bodies are 62% hydrogen,
24% oxygen, 12% carbon,
and 2% everything else.
So when we look at nutrition,
people are also talking about the vitamins
and minerals and stuff.
And that's the 2%.
Not the 62%.
Right. - Okay?
So it's hydrogen is really important
to our entire physiologic.
Everything that has to do in our body,
all the chemical reactions.
Our body is built from hydrogen.
But you can't inhale hydrogen from the air
like you do air oxygen
because the air is mostly
nitrogen and oxygen.
We get our hydrogen from our food,
but our digestive systems,
which gradually break apart.
First, we masticate and
we put in some enzymes
and then we go through an acid bath
and the small intestines in the bile,
all these kind of things in the microbiome.
The microbiome is absolutely vital.
And by the time you reach the colon,
just before the food is ejected from us,
that's the bacteria,
the specialized bacteria that break apart
the carbons and hydrogens
from your hydrocarbon food.
And then the hydrogen
can go into your bloodstream
right through the colon wall.
Oh.
So your colon actually breathes.
But those have been
decimated by glyphosate,
and artificial sweeteners
and all these kind of chemicals,
and antibiotics, also
kills these microbiome.
So people aren't getting
the hydrogen they need.
They can actually eat the food
and still be deficient in hydrogen.
So how do you test the level
of hydrogen in your body?
You can test it in the blood.
They have ways of testing it in the blood.
But the easiest way is
a hydrogen breath test.
And this is how they
actually test gut efficacy.
Your digesting efficacy,
they have meters that you blow into,
and it tests the amount of hydrogen
you're rejecting from your body.
Wow.
Because your blood gets
saturated with hydrogen
and any excess hydrogen gets exhaled.
So you need three things to heal.
You need the materials your body needs.
For example, the hydrogen
is one of the most important.
It's a building block.
It does nothing by itself.
It doesn't change pH.
It doesn't do anything.
It's neutral.
Your body decides where it's gonna go.
So the second thing
you need is intelligence.
Your body has the
intelligence it needs to heal you,
given what it needs.
And the third thing you need is energy.
And that brings us back to
the electrically expanded water.
It's a plasma form of water
that has a whole bunch
of extra electrons that are bioavailable.
You're inhaling those electrons
or drinking those electrons
and you're putting energy
into your body directly
bypassing all of your normal
energy generation systems,
'cause people that are
sick usually have two things.
They've exhausted their energy reserves
and their energy generation
systems have become compromised.
So the healing happens
because you're getting
that energy in there as well.
So that's why Brown's gas is proving to be
about 30% more therapeutically efficacious
over just plain hydrogen.
Like I said, hydrogen is great.
People should be getting
at least the hydrogen,
but adding this extra
energy in really helps as well.
Endorsed by wellness experts
and influencers like Amy Fournier,
Analemma water reorders
the molecular structure of water,
transforming it into
its most coherent state.
Water is the most fundamental
level of our existence.
Everybody knows that
we're 70% water in mass,
but we are 99% water in molecules.
When you look at it,
basically, we're very clever H2O.
This has profound effects
on basically anything.
Off the bat, it tells
you there is something
extraordinarily important about water.
We realized in our research
that water currently exists
in what we call a chaotic state.
So it's still H2O, but H2O molecules,
they actually move chaotically.
They move randomly.
They crash into each other constantly.
But since all of this is
happening on an atomic level.
Nobody is really aware of that.
There is a way to bring
order back into that chaos.
There is a way to bring H20 molecules
in a liquid crystalline state.
And through this unique process,
water becomes alive.
It actually becomes empowered,
and it can do so much
for our health and wellness.
It actually takes us one full year
to create what we call the mother water,
which actually comes
into this crystal vial.
So this is the Analemma.
The Analemma wand uses
proprietary crystal technology
to restructure water at a molecular level
by stirring the stick in the water.
It aligns water molecules into
a coherent, stable structure.
This structured water
enhances cellular hydration,
improves nutrient absorption,
and supports overall health
by mimicking the natural properties
of pristine water sources.
So tell us about what does Analemma do
and what kind of water can it help?
It can be used on any liquid
that has H2O molecules in it.
So you can use it on juice,
you can use it on tea,
you can use it on wine.
People love using it on wine.
Really? - Yeah.
If it has H2O molecules,
those molecules will enter
into this liquid coherent structured state.
So you can basically
make any liquid drinkable liquid coherent.
So heat doesn't break it down,
doesn't break coherence down?
No, it's the tea element
about Analemma water.
Ancient cultures, they always
had this blessing of water
or blessing of food before you eat it, why?
Because you literally change
the vibration of the water.
We are all vibrational beings,
and water is at the very heart of it, why?
Because water is a
broadband absorber, receiver,
and transmitter of energy,
frequency, and vibration.
So it's at the core of life.
Usually people, even conscious people,
they kind of go for the filtration.
Yeah. - And it's important.
Don't get wrong. - Yeah.
It's really important.
But that's not the dual
all end all the filtration.
No. - No.
We proved, just like I mentioned,
that water always picks up
the most dominant
frequency of its environment.
So wherever the water was,
all of the frequencies of
that is inside the water.
Even if you take the chemical out,
even if you take the toxin out,
the frequency of the toxin is still inside.
Whoa. - And you drink it
and you get the same thing
just like you took the chemical.
Yeah.
And this is where Analemma
of water is so amazing,
it actually cleans the slate.
It actually puts frequency wise
the water in the right state.
So everything that was before,
since water always picks up
the most dominant
frequency of it environment,
when you give the dominant frequency,
positive frequency to the
water, it never goes back.
And when you drink it,
you induce it into your system.
So very early on,
when we were playing with coherent water,
we saw that if you water
plants with Analemma water,
coherent water, that biophoton emission,
emissions rise dramatically.
So the vitality of it grows extraordinary.
So why am I saying this?
Because we wanted to see
how can we measure
energy or vitality in humans.
And we decided to do a
double-blind placebo controlled study
where we measured ATP levels in humans.
So ATP adenosine triphosphate,
the primary energy currency of the cell.
It's directly responsible for powering
the majority of cellular processes.
Every heartbeat, every breath,
every brain function depends on ATP.
So at the beginning of the study,
we took a snapshot of ATP levels
in participants of the study.
Then they drank a liter and
a half of Analemma water
per day for two months
without changing
anything else in the world.
So didn't change their exercise regime,
they didn't change their diets.
Everything else... Right.
Basically stayed the same.
And then we took another snapshot,
and what we saw is 20% rise in overall
mitochondrial energy over the placebo.
When you calculate the placebo in,
that's like 30%.
The implications of that
are really staggering.
Most scientists now agree that
one of the key causes of cellular aging
is the decline in mitochondrial function.
And we proved that the
mitochondrial function rises
more than significantly
just by drinking the water.
So this is the mission
statement of our company.
This is the mission state.
We want to make all bodies
of water on display of coherent,
but we need to start somewhere.
Yeah. - Yeah.
And we wanted to offer,
as soon as we got
hardcore scientific evidence,
what this does to actually human
and animal and plant biology.
We're putting it out there,
but there is a lot of work ahead of us
and we're super inspired
and thrilled to do it.
You are what you dream.
This is the most fundamental
level of our existence.
When you change that
entire biology will follow.
So it's the ultimate Biohack Yourself.
Going inside.
Go, Biohack Yourself.
Spirulina, which is a cyanobacteria, was
the first life on earth.
And one of the most important
nutrients in spirulina for pregnant moms
is an essential fatty acid
called GLA, which is gamma
linic acid. - I believe there's a set of
foods out there that are more
inflammatory than some people
say smoking and some people say even more
than sugar. - Right.
And they're all keto friendly and
they're called vegetable oils. - All right.
So this is the Analemma
wand helps regenerate the gut
microbiome. - So I want to give you a
biohacking. Wait, biohacking hug.
Heart to heart hug.
Heart to heart, thank you.
Hi, how are you? - When I was waiting out
there my tummy was hurting.
All these neurotransmitter
particles, they're, they're made in the
gut. They're from the gut. They are made
there. They go to the
brain. Glyphosate kills those good
bacteria that make them. It causes the
gut to leak. It's like a huge thing.
When you said you could lay on the grass,
sometimes I got scared. I get scared of
the grass if there's
bees or something. - Or if it was like a
rat. - I know. Yeah.
Sometimes you got to be careful
where you lie down on the grass. - Dr.
Steven Gundry, take two.
Your body attacks itself. - The good
bacteria doesn't turn bad, but rather you
get exposed to bad bacteria
and the immune system goes after that.
Eight, nine, ten, four,
three, nine, ten, eleven, twelve.
That was so awesome, oh my gosh.
32, 33.
RFK and Leila.
And that makes sure that the gas is
treated with the water, humidified and
purified. So then the
hose coming out of that comes to here on
this drinking water jar.
Based on his work, he could determine
whether or not I can live
to see my great grandkids.
Hey Anthony. - Nice to meet you. Pleasure.
My question is, can you help my grandma
live to 150? - I'll tell
you, the most important thing
to help someone who's over 60
live longer and it's exercise.
I am Miesha Tate. I am a UFC fighter, the
former Women's
Bantamweight World Champion,
and I'm here with Biohack Yourself. So go
Biohack Yourself. - I don't
really go to sleep at the right
time. I'm supposed to go to sleep, but I
get so much sleep in the
morning. Is that healthy for me
or not? - Well, we have found that the
earlier that you go to
sleep, the better. - I'm Thomas
DeLauer. I'm a translator of nutrition
science. This is Biohack
Yourself. Now get out there and
Biohack Your Muscles. - I heard you're a
gene detective. - I've
learned how to talk to genes
and they talk to me back and they give me
answers. With that, I help
you be the best version of
yourself. - All right, so this is the pH
Prescriptions Gravity-Fed Water
Filtration System. This one
removes more contaminants than any one in
the market, 99.9%. - Go
Biohack Yourself. I think we're
meant to do it together.
What is a free
Biohack? Nutritious foods.
Some stuff in the stores you
think it's good for you, but it's
actually with toxins. - My suggestion to
you is to go Biohack Yourself.
