Anti-Aging Expert: Missing This Vitamin Is As Bad As Smoking! The Truth About Creatine!

Why do people not know that vitamin D deficiency can increase dementia risk by 80%? Why do people not know that having a lack of this mineral is affecting their long-term risk of cancer? Why do people not know that having a low omega-3 index is as bad for you, in terms of mortality, as smoking? And as a scientist, I've seen firsthand that 70% of the way you're aging is actually due to your lifestyle. And all these things are so easy to do. So for example, as we age, certain areas of the brain which is involved in learning and memory starts to shrink by about 1 to 2% per year. The good news is studies show that people being part of an exercise protocol, not only did they not have their hippocampus shrink, it actually grew by 1 to 2%. And there's more. There are other things that don't even require as much effort as exercise, like supplements. And it's been shown study after study that if you take someone and you sleep deprive them for 21 hours and give them 25 to 30 grams of creatine, not only does it negate the cognitive deficits of sleep deprivation, it makes people function better than if they were well-rested. And then there's magnesium. There have been studies showing that people with the highest magnesium levels have a 40% lower all-cause mortality. And over 300 different enzymes in your body need it to help with short-term survival. And yet, 50% of the population in the United States does not have adequate levels of magnesium. And there's still more. There's saunas, red light therapy, ketogenic diets, blueberries, electrolytes, and we can talk about all of 'em.

Please.

Okay. So I've found when you go into the sauna, something happens that's incredible. So...

Dr. Rhonda Patrick, you strike me as a fairly obsessed person. What is it you're obsessed about and why are you obsessed about it? Because I can see from speaking to you previously how passionate you are about the subjects we're gonna talk t- about today. And so I was- I was, um, I was wondering what it is about these subjects that is driving you and what- what you're trying to accomplish?

I've learned through my experience, so I have a PhD in biomedical science, I've done research on aging, on cancer, on metabolism, nutrition, neuroscience, a lot of different fields, very cross-disciplinary. And I've realized over, you know, the decades of doing research that there are many different small changes that can be made that have a really big impact on our health, what's called our health span. So this is essentially being disease-free, uh, throughout our life, being healthy, feeling good. And I'm sort of obsessed with trying to optimize that and find a protocol to optimize it and then share that information with the world. And it's funny because, you know, we live in a time now where we've got access to so much information, overwhelming amount of information, but the reality is is that simple important tools that people can do in their life right now to drastically improve the way they age are still not known to the general population. And so my mission is to get that knowledge to people so that they can make these simple changes and live healthier and feel better.
