IN THIS EPISODE:

[6:21] Chris shares his history as a scientist and discovering a molecule.
[10:22] What was the Longevity Health Summit and what experts were a part of it?
[14:50] What were the two silver bullets that Chris went into the Summit trying to find?
[21:45] What is the age escape velocity?
[24:29] Chris asked experts in wellness and longevity how long people are going to live.
[30:48] Are we in control of how long we live and what type of health we are in?
[35:47] What were the biggest surprises Chris learned from all of his interviews at the longevity summit?
[44:27] Why do we not take action on the information we know would help us improve our health? What is getting in our way?

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

[16:51] If you address aging, then you’ll also address Alzheimer’s, arthritis, cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes.
[40:51] Mindset is the most important thing when it comes to your health. If you don’t have the mindset to make changes and create healthier habits for yourself, then you ultimately won’t do any of those other habits that increase longevity and prevent disease.
[44:31] You’re not where you want to be, not because of what you don’t know, it’s because of what you do know and you’re not doing.
[47:55] Choosing to overcome something that you really don’t want to do, such as a cold plunge, or a cold shower, or making the bed is great for your brain.

QUOTES:

[15:22] “I hope everybody understands what you just said, that if we call aging a disease, then we can get funding for it, because health does not have funding.” - Jenn Trepeck
"We need to be addressing aging and you need to be doing everything you possibly can because there's a finish line, and at some point, I believe, there will be the last person to die of natural causes." - Chris Burres
"We currently don't separate living longer from living in an infirm state." - Chris Burres
"In 1950 medical information doubled every 50 years. Today, medical information doubles every 73 days." - Chris Burres
[45:56] “In any endeavor, I describe it this way, that success is ultimately kind of boring. Whether you think about the success of Michael Phelps, he swam probably at the same pool, at the same time, for decades. He ate the same huge amount of calories every day for decades. This doesn’t sound exciting, this sounds like I wouldn't want to do that, which is why it’s so amazing that he did that. So you really do have to kind of buckle into some of these things that are going to be boring, and they’re really good for you, and you’ve got to be focused on the long haul.” - Chris Burres
