David Sincliar Rich Roll Podcast Dr David Sincliar Lewis Howes Podcast Dr David Sincliar Joe Rogan Podcast Recommended Resources Lifespan by Dr David Sinclair Transcription: Ryan 0:00today i want to have a pretty chilled out but hopefully thought provoking discussion with you about financial freedom longevity and living to 150 now that may sound completely outrageous from the get go but if you stick with me through this video we're going to talk about some of the things that are happening in the field of longevity anti aging living longer how my generation so i'm in my early 30s now could potentially live to 120 130 150 and younger generations 150 could be an average lifespan for them there's a lot happening in this field at the moment i'm going to talk about that which will probably open your eyes up to that because a lot of people haven't really heard about this yet but also what are the implications that that could have on our investing on financial freedom and on our lives so i've been learning about this sort of stuff i'm excited to share it with you and then also leave a lot of resources for you if you want to go down the same rabbit hole that i went down to learn about more more about this and to discover more about this so i hope you'll join me for this discussion and this ride because this has completely changed my life completely change a lot of things that i do and completely change the way that i'm looking at financial freedom looking at investing and looking at my work so super interesting super riveting stuff so let's start with the longevity stuff i'm not a scientist so i'm not going to give you any health advice or anything like that what i will do is link out to some interviews that i listened to with dr david sinclair who is one of the leading geneticists in the field of longevity and living longer he's done a bunch of interviews which are listened to and i've actually read his book called lifespan which talks about how to live longer so i'll link out to all of that sort of stuff down below if you want to check out the free resources or check out his book you can but the idea here is that aging is a disease and it's something that is curable and treatable and something that we can definitely slow down but also something that we can potentially even reverse or stop altogether so the idea here is not to live to 150 and be decrepid and have be in our diapers not remember who we are a lot of us don't want to live in that sort of state and when we think about how long do we want to live a lot of us will say 8090 100 very few will say over 100 because we just don't see health beyond those years but a lot is happening in the field at the moment with medicine as well as things you can do in your life that not only will we be able to live longer be able to live up to 100 and beyond but we will actually be healthy and happy and vibrant at 100 and still enjoying life so the question is let's say that you felt as you do right now when you were 120 would you still want to die just because you're 120 no chances are you wouldn't chances are that you are loving life and wanting to live more of life so age is just a number and there's chance that we can extend our healthspan not just extend our lifespan and so there's a bunch of things that you can do in order to do that i don't know if i want to get into the weeds in this episode talking about how to do that in terms of everyday life and what we need to do some of the really interesting things i will touch on quickly one of the really interesting things was if you want to extend your lifespan actually eat less or be in a state of being hungry so don't be malnourished but actually use do some intermittent fasting or skip some meals throughout the day now for me this is something i tend to do anyway i'll drink coffee in the morning i'll generally not have breakfast because i'm not hungry in the morning and then sometimes during the day i'll skip lunch because i'm busy working or focused on what i'm doing and then i'll just eat dinner at night and given that i also have a history of eating disorders i'm used to the state of being hungry and it's not really a big deal for me i don't deal with the mental issues associated with that anymore but obviously it's a fine line to trade and you have to be careful if you have had eating disorders but the idea of actually eating less and being in that state of hunger it turns on a protective mechanism in your body that can actually help you to live longer so there's eating less there's eating less protein there's walking about 20 minutes every day there's exercising at least once a week getting out of breath and there's a bunch of other things that you can do as well just naturally to help extend your lifespan and so that's that's pretty cool there's also some supplements that are coming onto the body get like resveratrol which is in red wine as well as an amen anyway i'll link up to that sort of stuff down below if you're interested in living beyond 100 and living happy beyond 100 but i am jumping on board with this and getting really interested in this and actually changing my life and changing things in my life so that i can live long without because at 32 now if i can start to do things now that are going to add decades onto my life in the future i'm so happy to make those decisions now finally one of the things that i've really struggled with is actually cutting down my sugar intake i know that sugar is not great for you i know that energy drinks like v which i've drank for years and not great for you but finally it's it's science and the fact that the medical studies show that if you're spiking your glucose levels on a regular basis then that actually decreases your lifespan on average it's kind of like that's the kick in the butt that i need to actually cut down on my sugar levels start living healthier but anyway what i want to do in this episode is not go through all that science because truthfully i don't know enough that i can explain to you i'm not a scientist myself and there's better people who can do that so i'll link up to that down below and if i'm ever at the point where i feel like i understand it well enough to explain it then i'll do a video on that but what i want to talk about is the idea the impact of living to 120 or 150 what impact is that going to have on our lives on our money on financial freedom and how have i started thinking differently about things because of this idea and how could you potentially start thinking about things differently as well the first thing that's really interesting that came up through this research is that rich people people who are financially well off live longer it was something like the top 10% of people i think it was in the us economically versus the bottom 10% the top 10% live about 14 years longer on average than the bottom 10% and if you're looking at the top 50% economically versus the bottom 50% i think there was a six year difference there in how long they live so being wealthy being financially free actually helps you to live longer because you can access supplements that could help to extend your life you can buy food that you know is going to be healthy you know is going to be good for you you can actually have the time and the financial freedom to build good friends groups around you which helps you to live longer you can create more happiness in your life you can do all these things when you're financially free that can help you to live longer so it's really interesting the idea is not necessarily being financially free allows you to live longer but generally speaking being wealthier allows you to live longer and so if you want to live longer being wealthy is obviously a good step to get there if you want to get the supplements that can help you do that while they're still going through clinical trials and stuff at the moment they are available on the market but they do cost money and they're not cheap and if you want to be able to buy some of that stuff then that's going to cost money or if you want to be able to eat a really healthy and well balanced diet then that cost money and takes money to do that because that cheap burger from mcdonald's is not going to help you live longer
