@@tun2w I incorporate strength training using weights, I have a 20 minute yoga routine I do each morning when I wake up. I’ve recently incorporated, plyometrics, callisthenics and zone two and zone five cardio training. I’ve only started that in the last couple years and the improvements have been phenomenal.
You are so correct. I'm 73 and in great health (though I don't look 30 anymore). I move throughout the day (about 20 min. every hour). I lift weights 5 times a week and walk 5-6 miles every day. I've maintained a 14% body fat for the last decade and my doctor says I have the body and the blood work of a person 20 years my junior. Sitting is killing people. Thanks for your comment (and you do look 30).
Tell your body that you are not old. Be constantly moving your entire body, walking, etc. Try to eat well. Try to think only good thoughts. Try to laugh as much as you can or cry when you want.
@@billpetersen298it can be hard when one is trained from very young nOt to cry and also often to pretend to feel fine even if we are not, so we don't learn to feel our feelings fully, or at all! Sometimes is called dissociation. My Mum dying, & later beloved dog opened the tear-gates for me. Watching dog-rescue videos online, or something that touches your heart, is a good way to begin, not too personal, if you have old traumas your heart & mind are safe-guarding. Crying can feel great, & awful, & sometimes overwhelming. Doesn't need to take long time either. Also tears are an efficient way for the body to excrete stress hormones 😊❤🤗
@@manyBlessings2all I know, I know, it's hard to change your spots. I love people, animals, the depth of nature, life, the rain, the snow, the sun, but I'm not sure about myself. Ha ha, I'm also married to someone who isn't shy to criticize anyone, (primarily herself, projecting outward), and doesn't trust physical intimacy.
I'm 68 and look 50, been lifting, running, taking supplements, and intermitten fasting. I feel better now than when I was in my 40s and overweight and eating bad.
After being told by infertility dr that I cannot have children I bought a book by American dr about water fasting. I went on several one or 2 weeks water only fasting ( first 3 days are tough) , I lost 30 lb in one year and got pregnant without drs help. Fasting is the best thing one can do to her/himself.
Wow. That's awesome. What's the name of the book? Also, if I understood well, women trying to conceive shouldn't do fasting. Right? Your case was different. Does anybody know books about fasting and fertility? I want to learn more
I never really wanted breakfast, but I forced myself to eat it in order to get through the work day. When I retired, I started skipping breakfast acidentally. I completely stopped eating breakfast about 6 months ago, and now do about an 18/6 IF, with keto light. It is so easy, and I feel so much better.
My grandmother ate apple pie just about everyday🤮. She lived to only 105, on account my mom's 2 sisters took away the 2 loves of her life, sewing and gardening. She became depressed and they put her on anti depression poisons. 🤷🏻♀️
@rfd6175 What a most ridiculous comment. Of course not if you have osteoporosis....of course not if you're going blind, of course not if you have dementia, the list could go on. But she didn't. She was quite capable of taking care of herself ......UNTIL ....they took it away from her. Jeez.....🤦🏻♀️

My father who experienced long periods of hunger in Siberian gulag lived healthy life without medication until 94. Most survivors German camps in WWII lived very long.
The Germans in the American camps under Eisenhower did not live long he starved over 1 million and then sold them to the Communists Russians AFTER the war had ended. My friends father was one. German camps were NOT as bad as they tell us WW2 is full of lies
@azaelaslightsage1271-No they did not, because they had more impt things to contend with. Like my dad used to say, “…stop feeling sorry for yourself,” “Life is hard, accept that and move on,” “No one owes you anything in life. Make of it what you will.” He was a teen before homes had tv, lived through the depression, was a WW2 draft (became sergeant), a scuba diver, dove off cliffs in Hawaii while stationed after war, read medical journals for fun, was in theatre, etc., etc. My hero, and a Renaissance man, albeit he didn’t know what to do with a girl born when he was 50.

I am getting older from the day one I was conceived. I decided not to get older mentally by living like a child. Curiosity and inquisitiveness. Natural response to daily events. Just be human.
When I retired to Costa Rica @ 60 from the U.S, I was doing crossfit 5-6 days a week and couldn't lose weight. 3 months after coming to Costa Rica, I lost 35lbs without even trying. I can only attribute it to not eating fast food & eating more fresh fruit & vegetables. I have gained 15lbs back in 4yrs. I eat whatever I want, even right before I go to sleep. I look younger and am in better shape at 64! I also ride my bike 10 miles a day in the Costa Rican jungle, which keeps my body in shape!
Good for you! I totally believe you. My friends in Brazil told me our fruit in the US smells like plastic. Our food is garbage. Even if you eat unprocessed foods, it is very difficult to achieve nutrient sufficiency. I went gluten-free 20 years ago and eat very little refined sugar, cow dairy and soy. People say I look 10 or more years younger than my age. I’m 50.
I pay no intention to people who say I look younger than my age. That is ego talk only. Lifestyle is what matters and that, it seems is what gives longevity.
I am a 52 year old woman and 5 years ago I mustered up the courage to hit the gym. Born in an agrarian community of farmers and ranchers I moved to the city and became sedintary and got sick. Now I lift and keep moving and have reset my own mind and body and still throw in a burger when I want one but not a craving. Consistency, routine and a great sense of humor has helped me plow through the wonderfully messy thing called life, aging and social judgement if how women are supposed to look. 😊
When I was a child growing up in the uk in the 50s we my brothers and sisters didn't eat 3 days in every week because we were so poor and it's funny that the man said about aging people have always said that I look 20 years younger than my age maybe this down to not eating 3 days every week.
@@bellelacroix5938Me too. There needs to be a lot more of an explanation and specifics behind that. No protocol for women mentioned still. What if you're already quite thin? I can see fasting making you age more in that case.
Met a friend of my late mums. She's 86, out and about, a few little jobs and attends lots of activities, exercises etc. all faculties alive and kicking. Said she can't stay in looking at four walls.
The 5 Tibetan Rites and QiGong, no starch (gluten), lots of raw veggies seeds nuts, ancient grains (as nature made it -minimal processing)...everything else minimal (sugar treats, glass of wine, stress, fish/meats) if any -not eating late at night and practice intermittent fasting and a strong spiritual connection....works for me 😉Cheers and thank you for your videos!

@insight7483 thank you good points & helpful concisely summarised. Wanted to add please, via Dr Zach Bush, that a Blue Zone (forget which) a very significant thing was conscious & sociable eating, they would always set an extra place at the table and delighted to have guests, & they would ask next day 'who did you eat with?' rather than 'what did you eat?' Also preparing, seeing, smelling, anticipating the food, & gratitude for it, as well as leisurely eating & plenty chewing, all contribute to well-being. Sadhguru speaks of various advice for healthy eating , including never eat standing up, be 'empty' when go to sleep, don't drink liquid with food, something about a particular practise of having only 24 morsels/mouthfuls each chewed 24 times; eating 'alive'foods, not snacking ~ he eats once a day. The intermittent fasting approach seems to keep turning up as an essential component in some form. 🤐
Tough stuff. Aging quicker a.k.a decreasing a lifespan due to high insulin and glucose levels? Scary stuff. But it undoubtedly illuminates the horror of a developing disease in the body. The main takeaway, for me, is that humans have a tough time practicing maladaption to bad eating habits. Making new room towards a healthier life calls for psychological suffering. The other interesting tidbit on that is that this cuts into moral and personal spheres...how one merely values their time. Dr. David spoke of complacency in a humble way. But this obesity epidemic may not fall to the wayside until modern civilization crumbles. There's advertisements about dessert, sweet things, and how to spend personal time everywhere we go. The great majority or common folk are content with ease and minimal challenge. Great video. Nothing like some good ol' science.
There is this new way of eating: just a little bit several time during the day. They called it snaking, I called it eating between meals. I do not eat dinner. It keeps me slim and I do not have bad dreams. I am glad to hear someone think in the same way. Thanks
There's an HIIT exercise available to everyone. Go upstairs more than a dozen times a day, and as your legs get stronger, run up on your toes, picking your feet up high to avoid tripping. Run up and down, up and down, until you are puffing and tired, then go into rest recuperation. You can do this several times a day, and it's a good burst.
Thanks this is something I can do . When we got a townhouse I purposely got one with stairs . I thought if I didn't , I wouldn't get any exercise . Now I'll gradually increase the amount & speed of climbing stairs .
As we age it’s important to take a brisk walk 30-45 minutes a day adding in a simple strength and balance exercise 3x/wk is an important part of staying healthy and strong. Any amount of additional exercise each day is even better. IF 12n-6p ✅ 2 meals first at 12 last ends by 6pm, stay hydrated 💧
I’m about to turn 60 and have been training since my 20s with no break of note. 4-5 days a week in average with mostly strength and conditioning exercises like weights and kettlebells and body weight exercises. For the last 10 years I wake up after about 10-11 hours of no food and then work out on only a coffee or workout drink (stevia Celsius) and then eat after the gym. So naturally a 13-14 hour fast and NO ONE believes I’m out of my 40s and my body (though suffering a bit from extra water and not quite the same muscle mass mostly I assume from lowered testosterone ) has almost not changed in 30 years.
At 51 and after a near fatal covid experience, my Testosterone levels were down to 14.6. To be treated in the UK, you need to be under 15 and I decided to go for TRT but I needed a 2nd Venus test also under 15 to qualify. Only “problem” is, I started IF (no breakfast), went Carnivore and started cold plunging. Went for my test and read 22.6. No TRT for me!
@shnekman Please explain carnivore. Do you mean only meat and nothing else. And what meat do you consume. I can definitely miss breakfast because I’m too busy to eat in the morning anyway. Please explain I’m very interested. Thanks

Do heavy lifting. Sleep well and long enough. There is your testosterone level. Do natural things, your body is well capable. No need to damage your body or buying useless overpriced powders.
Three years ago I developed this lifestyle. Prior to this I was eating the typical American diet. Since then I feel 20 years younger, look 15 years younger and have embarked on a new career. Something i never thought I'd do. My wishing days are over bc with being so healthy and vibrant I know I can accomplish anything I put my mind to do. Just take one day at a time and one day you'll wake up and it's 3 years later.All the best to you!
@@DimitriTheBarbarian no sugar...lots of veggies and seafood with limited red meat and poultry. Plant based milk. Organic yogurt and walnut and pecans. Ghee or coconut oil for cooking. No bread but alternative wraps like egg or spinach recipes online. Water to drink although I drink coffee too. I research lots of recipes online that fit alternatives to processed foods like homemade hummus and the like. Exercise 5x a week It's not hard but once you acclimate you'll be fine. Change takes time..a little each day. Good luck.

ok. i read some of the comments. laughed at some. needed the laughter. it keeps ME YOUNG! so, THANKS. one comment stood out about not being able to exercise old age away. i understand. my THINKING and what i ALWAYS SAY is "i don't do the o-word." i don't even say it. i certainly don't use it in reference to me. i THINK and SAY: "i'm getting less young." still young. just getting less young. and, no, i can't ONLY exercise old age away, i have to do several other things like: fast, eat healthy as possible, manage stress, heal from past traumas, avoid toxic people, stay away from negative environments, pursue my passion...and MANY, MANY OTHER things that contribute to feeling and looking younger than i would if i didn't do those things.
I danced a lot or walked a lot but do not run. I love walking and use to walk 5 to 8 miles a day. I also took dance, and then actually danced 3 night's a week. Fun fun exercise. ❤
Alternative that worked for me. Push breakfast back 15 minutes each day as often as you can. Just keep trying, keep going, don’t give up and if you fail one day it’s not a big deal as long as you don’t give up. I eventually stopped feeling like I needed breakfast after maybe 6 months. The body is amazing at adapting.
@@suzanneemerson2625When the time to eat same portion as if you're not fasting. Then again IF is boosting your HGH so it should be easier for you to build or maintain muscle.
All my Grandparents lived into their 90s, my parents are in their late 70s all really Happy healthy people very active as well. None drank or smoked Or ate anything out of Packets, all fresh food.
As a woman, I wish he’d elaborate more on the estrogen point Dr H brought up… should we aim for HRT and maintain elevated female hormones? Does fasting inhibit this?
He gave such a pathetic answer about mice when Huberman asked a great question about women. Dr Stacy Sims cites studies from which active older women can be much better informed, it’s really frustrating that the mainstream has not caught up yet. It’s well worth looking her up on Google.
My urogynecologist advises bio identical HRT for women. Beginning at around 40yrs to check hormone levels for a baseline level as a gauge, then watch them and take hormones once they dip esp low. Some women won't need bio hormones until their 50s, but others might need help in their 40s, it depends. Once the menstrual cycle is not regular, he says is usually when you want to consider something for sure...bio hormones or vaginal estrogen or both. Women suffer from fatigue, mood, sleep, bone density, and pelvic/sexual health issues when these hormones dip low, and once they have dipped and negative symptoms start it is hard to fix them and they cannot be fixed as well. You want to fix things before it gets bad, as a stitch in time saves nine. For example, women suffer increased UTI risk, vaginal irritation, pain with sex, vaginal infections, decreased bone density/ligament/tendon density, difficulty with orgasm and often decreased nerve sensation, and much greater vaginal prolapse risk once hormone levels are allowed to fall. A functional medicine doctor or doc that does bio identical hormones is a good place to start. I also know women that took bio hormones and said that their levels of fatigue changed dramatically and they had so much energy again. I don't know why women should suffer if men find similar issues unacceptable why it is ok for women to just grin and bear feeling miserable!
I am 61 and I also quit sugars and bad carbs which has been a very good decision. I fast until noon because I really do not need food during the morning, and at noon I always eat a salad. At dinner I eat a warm meal mainly consisting of vegetables and beans. After that, no food anymore. We have a young dog who needs very long walks so I walk a lot, I live in an area with hills. The only thing that really makes me terribly uncomfortable is the cold in winter, I notice that I cannot concentrate mentally when I am so cold. I do shower cold during spring, summer and autumn, and I have no issue with that at all. Why do I have such difficulty with the cold in winter mainly mentally...? I wish I could solve that too.
My mother fasted almost all her adult life to stay thin as a fashion statement... at 60 she looked older than I do at 76 and I am not kidding...skin tone,,hair quality,,muscle mass, amd her enrgy level was low and she developed osteoporosis . She had low pevel depression, NOT ME! She had her first major fracture at 70 she had to have a hip replacement and alot of physical therapy...she never walked normally again. I walk 2 miles a day, have no arthritis and feel great I eat a good diet....some animal protein, not a high fat diet, a vitamin and fruit rich diet. I eat a small scoop of ice cream once a week a real treat double chocolate gelato. I have no trouble controlling appetite am 5ft 4in 123 lbs. I constanly get told I look 60...I have used Retin A and sunscreen for decades. I believe in the ancient Greek model of health moderation in all things. My mother was TOO much an ascetic, I simply dont believe in extremes. I usually eat two small meals a day but about 25% of the time one meal...when it is all I want. I eat zero fast food, preprepared food...I eat only fresh bought veggies and fruits . I dont eat bread or any gluten products they constipate me. I live in a tropical country that supplies the USA with fresh produce all year...it is all plentiful and inexpensive in local markets here. I am so happy to still be fit, to enjoy my life and activities.
I had a friend who fasted regularly. Are well. Exercised. Took supplements. Meditated. She was five years older than me. Twice when we were out. She was mistaken for my Mother. I've stayed out of the sun. Are vegies just about every day. Not much re meat. Walk daily. Never fasted.
it seems those people were tending to anorexic behaviour, it's not about fasting only, if you don't prepare before and replenish after then of course it will be detrimental
I agree with you, my late father and mother used to say all things in moderation and the six natural doctors, it was the way I was brought up. Funnily enough, at 62 I am studying the ancient Greeks, and growing my own produce, not as much as I would like to but, hey it's fun to do. I don't fast either.
Exactly, I couldn’t agree more!!! All things are good in moderation. Fasting may be good but not too much of it! We should always listen to our bodies and give them what they need! This is probably the most important rule I have learned about health: LISTEN TO YOUR BODY! It will always tell you when something you are doing doesn’t work.
Thank you Andrew for drawing attention to the fact that it’s possible to change the usual course of aging. I want to share my cold water journey in case someone is on the fence about it. I’m 66, eat well, on no meds and I do cardio 3x weekly. However it was those challenging, crazy cold, energizing showers that turned me around and made me feel 30 years younger. I’m not exaggerating when I say that. I sleep more deeply, have more energy and mental clarity. Also I hardly ever turn my heater on anymore because I’ve developed a degree of cold resistance. So I’m saving money too. When I first listened to cold water enthusiasts on RUclips I felt challenged because I’ve always hated being in cold water. But after listening to several people say they “Step out of the cold shower feeling like a god” I decided to try it. The only way I could do cold showers was to ease into it. After my usual warm shower, I turn the faucet to the midway lukewarm position for about 1 minute. Then I turn on the cold water all the way and start on my feet only and slowly work up allowing the cold water to cover me for 2 minutes. Cold water gurus encourage their followers to remain calm and breathe deeply throughout the process but I scream like a small child when that cold, mountain well water hits my torso. Even so the results are soooo worth it. Give cold showers (or baths or open waters) a try if your goal is to feel younger and more energized.
I get dizzy when I'm hungry. The stress level goes up then I can fall down or have other accidents. I have to be mindful of maintaining blood sugar levels throughout the day. 👌 Rose 🌹
Me too. I have to eat. 61 post menopausal and ideal weight. 8st 7 5ft 6. Very little grey hair. I do need to do more exercise though. Cut out bread, sugar, alcohol decades ago.
I’m 54 and people say i look much younger... I don’t believe in fasting as a way to look younger. I believe in eating lots of protein/ carbs and fruits and veg. I eat 5 meals a day and bmi is 19. I dont excercise a lot either. But im very active during the day. Aging is a state of mind. If you believe you look older and get sicker you will. If you believe you won’t get old you won’t. It’s law of assumption! One more thing, i don’t eat any sugar. I just don’t like it...

I’ve worked out with resistance (mostly weights) for 3+ years; before that 3-4 years of yoga and Pilates. But I made the mistake of abandoning cardio when I embraced weight training. I knew it was not terribly useful in fat loss, so why do it. Well, I recently learned what I should have known: use it or lose it. Recovering from Covid in early January, I tried to walk outside on those rare sunny days (in N. IL), only to find that 1/3 mile was my current max! Humiliation! I could not walk a dog if I wanted to get one! So I’ve added a bit of cardio 3x/wk. within 2 wks I am up to .7 of a mile. So I know I can get it back. I’m 73; 5’3”; 172 lb, on modified carnivore (raw dairy, limited fruit).😊

There isn’t one formula that is healthy for every body. The main thing is to keep learning and trying things. And be aware that the body changes over time, making some things good for us that didn’t used to be, and vice versa.
I'm 55 and have been doing the same rituals this guy is doing in the last couple of months now. I also walk and trying some muscle workouts. My body weight has decreased to a better weight now. Before I was getting heavier. I too eat a little yogurt with olive oil and sometimes a light broth with nutritional yeast and olive oil. Extra virgin. So I can take my supplements. I eat a pretty good lunch and very little but some fruit or soup later. Other days. I eat a bigger breakfast, simple salad at lunch and no dinner except maybe a few nuts.

Everyone will have advice for you. Everyone on here says to keep moving. I was a vibrant athletic-type, always in great shape, but came down with multiple autoimmune diseases due to viral exposure. Now I live in an electric wheelchair and feel like crap most of the time. BUT, I don't eat processed foods and I stay thin -- I hope you can find a way to feel well. My bit of advice: check adrenals, vagus nerve, B12, that kind of stuff.
I used to do coffee in the morning, another one throughout the day and dinner is my only meal, because with my husband we did not have that much money, now that we are comfortable, i have my morning coffee and lunch, and I'm actually loosing weight, vs ,when I eat at night and go out with my friends or family, i alway putt on weight, so I prefere eating in the morning cause it gives me energy, but I quite carbs around 2017 and for me too, i haven't putt a foot at the dentist since then so great idea, it saves you money

This guy implies that what he has come to for his body is what will work for everyone. Just different blood types can make all the difference. The Eat Right for Your blood type diet saved my life.
Can you dive into the differences in intermittent fasting for women vs men? Research indicates IF may not be as beneficial for women, particularly when it comes to reproductive health/hormones, bone density and sleep. Women tend to preserve fat during scarcity. We need pertinent info on aging for women too. I'm a health provider and notice when female patients switch to IF, eventually many develop insomnia and hormonal disruptions. Some also gain weight. Most improve when they switch back to 3 meals a day. However, I don't have a perspective on longevity outcomes.
Grateful for this depth of health advice, and the perspective from a research scientist. Optimizing health is the best insurance policy for a good life. Just one thing though - I think we need to can the war on aging. Aging is what happens when you live a normal life. The language that equates aging with disease is dehumanizing us. Aging healthfully is a fabulous goal. But we can't transcend our human imperative to live, and eventually die. That's the deal for earthlings.
Agree. Chasing spent youth for some ppl seems to negatively impact their mental health and decrease quality of life. Live healthfully but enjoy life and don’t obsess about every little thing you put into your mouth or do to your body. Going to extremes is not the answer. We actually seem to be living in an era of extremism. Being “thin” at the expense of mental health. Being “young” at the expense of mental health. Mental AND physical well-being is important.
@@questioneverything1776 Exactly this. Balance is a great goal but I don't hear the word used very often. We're treating ourselves as if we're machines. Who needs AI when we're unconsciously trying to transcend our humanity already?
Why? I disagree. I think in a natural state we would age better then just keel over dead one day. I don't think we should suffer the disability of aging for decades in pain and misery then die. I don't want to live a super long life either, this earth is just a blip on the timeline of existence...but while here I want to feel my absolute best and be functional for as long as possible. I am a nurse and seeing the suffering of aging is unacceptable if we can ameliorate some of it. Most people have a way longer lifespan than health span...we need to increase the number of quality of years of living I think. I am certainly not concerned about living longer, but want us to live better while alive!!
@@jercasgav Fair enough. On the point of improving health spans for the duration of life I agree 100%. I just don't like the term anti-aging, which literally means "against aging". I suppose that's why Attia calls his work longevity as opposed to anti-aging. As a lady once said several years ago, aging is a privilege not everyone gets, so we should celebrate life through our ages. And that includes optimizing health.

i've been binge watching different "self help" videos, nutrition, exercise, fasting, ice bath etc and it must be working bc even tho i am on a medicine that massively causes weight gain, so it was at least twice as difficult yet I went from over 170lbs back down to my teenage weight of 140, i guess bc of adding various little and big tricks, example getting exposure to light in the morning. now if i could just tame my addictive personality id be on my way lol
I also started re-education myself on a holistic approach to maintain my health and I've seen massive improvement in both physically and mentally. Keep going!
Wouldn’t being fat or being obese would put the body in stress. Aside from the science behind it, it literally is harder to do anything when you have more fat encompassing every organ in your body. Plus those who are overweight have a weaker will power, so they would be eating a lot more and constantly digesting not allowing the body to recover and rejuvenate on a cellular level
My family were all movers , until they had an issue that kept them from walking and exercising. So which came first the chicken or the egg ? In my family the issue that caused them to age came first and then they became more sedentary.
Ok so i'm going to say something that was probably said in the video? After listening to this interview, in regards to the cells in our body and ageing. Our cells love energy, and they switch on and fire up and divide with the consumption of eating (energy). When you eat, you're basically ingesting energy into all the cells in your body to fire up and divide. Dividing can cause mutations, disease, ageing etc. Sorry, I have the intellect of Billy Madison.
I am 39 and very sedentary working 6 days all day at a computer, my diet is poor and i get puffed really easily. I really need to hear that it's not too late to turn it all around..:(
It’s not too late. I turned 40 this year and am overweight, but I found the app fastic. It is free and tracks intermittent fasts and sends notifications when to start and stop. I used to throw bites of food in my mouth all day...off the kids plates, anything I saw sitting around...all without thinking about it. Now I forget to eat during my eating period a lot because I’m so used to saying “no I’ll have it later when I can eat” I have felt so much better in just three weeks and haven’t even really changed what I eat, just when, but am not ready to step it up to healthier food choices. It fells really good!
Ive already seen in my lifetime how people are dying much earlier. We arent living as old as we were and even then people arent healthy! Its obvious something has changed! ( food and environment) our pets arent even living very long anymore !
This information is great but I feel it's missing "actionable steps" from it. And, I understand you can't tell people what and when to eat but, providing a spectrum of best practices may provide an opportunity for an actionable step.
IF Intermittent Fasting For instance, 20 hours not eating, 4 hour eating window OMD One meal a day 2MD 2 meals a day I choose OMD Lunch Cut ALL sugar Cut/ drastically reduce carbs NO processed food Eat small amount of something fermented with your food Drink lots of water...green tea Coffee is ok Once a month do a 72 hour fast
It's sad that these supplements are so expensive. Too bad we can't have access to quality supplements at a price most of us can afford. Good health it seems it a privileged state.
At the age of 62, people think I'm 10 years younger. Granted I have great genes but, I've never smoked and use sunscreen. In 2019 I started to do intermittent fasting to lose weight. Little did I know that in 1.5 years I'd drop 45lbs and lose my gut along with a few other body areas. I feel like I got a"reset" from my fasting and going without meals. I also started Invisalign braces which is very strict with water only and I mention this because I clenched my jaws a lot during that time. It's 4 years since I did all this and I'm still as healthy as ever with a few minor health issues and I never take pain meds. Fasting works and is in the Bible and that's the greatest book ever written! 🥰🥳
The answer to my longstanding question was hinted at, but please elaborate as many who wish to do IF need advice: I take nine pills including 3 prescriptions as directed “at breakfast” or “in the morning.” I can easily skip breakfast but that means my first meal is around noon. Does it matter when I actually ingest meds/supplements, say, 3x a day if my eating window is 6-8 hours max?

Awesome! I could feel the changes and see them and docs kept saying it’s normal menopause . I felt awful when they couldn’t even be detected in my blood A friend hooked me up with pellets and I’m way better. Still working on things I didn’t work on because no hormones can make you feel blah. But I’m on it now again I was very thin and active and energetic before they dropped. But the drive was gone and I ate bad stuff at times I believe I dropped them via stress and zero fat diet or very close to for a long time. Several years. So probably put myself into menopause
Those changes you mentioned would surely pause things. It's like the body is saying that child birthing takes a back seat with improper diet and mental state.

When I retired to Costa Rica @ 60 from the U.S, I was doing crossfit 5-6 days a week and couldn't lose weight. 3 months after coming to Costa Rica, I lost 35lbs without even trying.

Wanted to add please, via Dr Zach Bush, that a Blue Zone (forget which) a very significant thing was conscious & sociable eating, they would always set an extra place at the table and delighted to have guests, & they would ask next day 'who did you eat with?' rather than 'what did you eat?'
Also preparing, seeing, smelling, anticipating the food, & gratitude for it, as well as leisurely eating & plenty chewing, all contribute to well-being.

Tough stuff. Aging quicker a.k.a decreasing a lifespan due to high insulin and glucose levels? Scary stuff. But it undoubtedly illuminates the horror of a developing disease in the body. The main takeaway, for me, is that humans have a tough time practicing maladaption to bad eating habits. Making new room towards a healthier life calls for psychological suffering. The other interesting tidbit on that is that this cuts into moral and personal spheres...how one merely values their time.
Dr. David spoke of complacency in a humble way. But this obesity epidemic may not fall to the wayside until modern civilization crumbles.

There's an HIIT exercise available to everyone. Go upstairs more than a dozen times a day, and as your legs get stronger, run up on your toes, picking your feet up high to avoid tripping.

I’m about to turn 60 and have been training since my 20s with no break of note. 4-5 days a week in average with mostly strength and conditioning exercises like weights and kettlebells and body weight exercises. For the last 10 years I wake up after about 10-11 hours of no food and then work out on only a coffee or workout drink (stevia Celsius) and then eat after the gym. So naturally a 13-14 hour fast and NO ONE believes I’m out of my 40s and my body (though suffering a bit from extra water and not quite the same muscle mass mostly I assume from lowered testosterone ) has almost not changed in 30 years.

I danced a lot or walked a lot but do not run. I love walking and use to walk 5 to 8 miles a day. I also took dance, and then actually danced 3 night's a week. Fun fun exercise. ❤
Alternative that worked for me. Push breakfast back 15 minutes each day as often as you can. Just keep trying, keep going, don’t give up and if you fail one day it’s not a big deal as long as you don’t give up. I eventually stopped feeling like I needed breakfast after maybe 6 months. The body is amazing at adapting.
Too complicated. Just stop eating breakfast altogether. After about 5 days, you won’t notice a difference.

He gave such a pathetic answer about mice when Huberman asked a great question about women. Dr Stacy Sims cites studies from which active older women can be much better informed, it’s really frustrating that the mainstream has not caught up yet. It’s well worth looking her up on Google.
@@firestar7774why?
My urogynecologist advises bio identical HRT for women. Beginning at around 40yrs to check hormone levels for a baseline level as a gauge, then watch them and take hormones once they dip esp low. Some women won't need bio hormones until their 50s, but others might need help in their 40s, it depends. Once the menstrual cycle is not regular, he says is usually when you want to consider something for sure...bio hormones or vaginal estrogen or both. Women suffer from fatigue, mood, sleep, bone density, and pelvic/sexual health issues when these hormones dip low, and once they have dipped and negative symptoms start it is hard to fix them and they cannot be fixed as well. You want to fix things before it gets bad, as a stitch in time saves nine.
For example, women suffer increased UTI risk, vaginal irritation, pain with sex, vaginal infections, decreased bone density/ligament/tendon density, difficulty with orgasm and often decreased nerve sensation, and much greater vaginal prolapse risk once hormone levels are allowed to fall. A functional medicine doctor or doc that does bio identical hormones is a good place to start. I also know women that took bio hormones and said that their levels of fatigue changed dramatically and they had so much energy again. I don't know why women should suffer if men find similar issues unacceptable why it is ok for women to just grin and bear feeling miserable!

Maybe because we have no fur and can expect to die in freezing temps.

I believe in the ancient Greek model of health moderation in all things. My mother was TOO much an ascetic, I simply dont believe in extremes. I usually eat two small meals a day but about 25% of the time one meal...when it is all I want. I eat zero fast food, preprepared food...I eat only fresh bought veggies and fruits . I dont eat bread or any gluten products they constipate me.
I live in a tropical country that supplies the USA with fresh produce all year...it is all plentiful and inexpensive in local markets here.
I am so happy to still be fit, to enjoy my life and activities.
I had a friend who fasted regularly. Are well. Exercised. Took supplements. Meditated. She was five years older than me. Twice when we were out. She was mistaken for my Mother. I've stayed out of the sun. Are vegies just about every day. Not much re meat. Walk daily. Never fasted.
it seems those people were tending to anorexic behaviour, it's not about fasting only, if you don't prepare before and replenish after then of course it will be detrimental
I agree with you, my late father and mother used to say all things in moderation and the six natural doctors, it was the way I was brought up. Funnily enough, at 62 I am studying the ancient Greeks, and growing my own produce, not as much as I would like to but, hey it's fun to do. I don't fast either.
Exactly, I couldn’t agree more!!! All things are good in moderation. Fasting may be good but not too much of it! We should always listen to our bodies and give them what they need! This is probably the most important rule I have learned about health: LISTEN TO YOUR BODY! It will always tell you when something you are doing doesn’t work.

Thank you Andrew for drawing attention to the fact that it’s possible to change the usual course of aging.
I want to share my cold water journey in case someone is on the fence about it. I’m 66, eat well, on no meds and I do cardio 3x weekly.
However it was those challenging, crazy cold, energizing showers that turned me around and made me feel 30 years younger.
I’m not exaggerating when I say that. I sleep more deeply, have more energy and mental clarity. Also I hardly ever turn my heater on anymore because I’ve developed a degree of cold resistance. So I’m saving money too.
When I first listened to cold water enthusiasts on RUclips I felt challenged because I’ve always hated being in cold water.
But after listening to several people say they “Step out of the cold shower feeling like a god” I decided to try it.
The only way I could do cold showers was to ease into it.
After my usual warm shower, I turn the faucet to the midway lukewarm position for about 1 minute. Then I turn on the cold water all the way and start on my feet only and slowly work up allowing the cold water to cover me for 2 minutes.
Cold water gurus encourage their followers to remain calm and breathe deeply throughout the process but I scream like a small child when that cold, mountain well water hits my torso.
Even so the results are soooo worth it. Give cold showers (or baths or open waters) a try if your goal is to feel younger and more energized.
I get dizzy when I'm hungry. The stress level goes up then I can fall down or have other accidents.
I have to be mindful of maintaining blood sugar levels throughout the day. 👌
Rose 🌹
Thank you for that! I’m wondering why I’m so dizzy at 73. I under eat.
Sally,
I'm 65. Low blood sugar and dehydration can cause dizziness.
You should have your doctor look at it.
Happy Holidays 🌟
Rose 🌹
Me too. I have to eat. 61 post menopausal and ideal weight. 8st 7 5ft 6. Very little grey hair. I do need to do more exercise though. Cut out bread, sugar, alcohol decades ago.

It's up to us to stay healthy.
Keep up the good work 💪💯
Rose 🌹
That could be insuline resistance. It cannot be measure with blood sugar because it is a cellular issue.
I’m 54 and people say i look much younger...
I don’t believe in fasting as a way to look younger. I believe in eating lots of protein/ carbs and fruits and veg. I eat 5 meals a day and bmi is 19.
I dont excercise a lot either. But im very active during the day.
Aging is a state of mind. If you believe you look older and get sicker you will. If you believe you won’t get old you won’t. It’s law of assumption!
One more thing, i don’t eat any sugar. I just don’t like it...
Your belief is what makes you!!
My grandpa is 92 and eats tons of sugar every night because he loves it
Fabulous! Thank you for this session with you! xx Cynthia
❤ fasting and exercising
yep yep
I am new to this site, and it is so refreshing! Thank you so very much! You and your guests know your subject of whole health very well, right down to the tiniest level-wow! You put the whole picture together like a fine jigsaw puzzle, making it so comprehensible. I am now hungry for more and more and more, and I wish I would have had doctors like you (including your fine guests) all my life! Also refreshing is seeing all of you in such fine shape, further confirmation of the truth of your discourses. Here is a caveat compliment: your physical fitness, combined with a mature and intelligent mind, is very attractive😉
What I got from this video was about "fitness." Stay sort of "cold and hungry," and you will give yourself a better chance of being "slim/fit." Wahi' Valleys
Andrew Huberman in under an hour! Amazing! Makes me think this has been chopped up!
I'm currently working on the first sonata... ...an amazing piece. Thank you very much for this superb presentation.
I think the important thing is don't snack between meals. Eat meals when you are hungry but not late at night
I’ve worked out with resistance (mostly weights) for 3+ years; before that 3-4 years of yoga and Pilates.
But I made the mistake of abandoning cardio when I embraced weight training. I knew it was not terribly useful in fat loss, so why do it. Well, I recently learned what I should have known: use it or lose it.
Recovering from Covid in early January, I tried to walk outside on those rare sunny days (in N. IL), only to find that 1/3 mile was my current max! Humiliation! I could not walk a dog if I wanted to get one!
So I’ve added a bit of cardio 3x/wk. within 2 wks I am up to .7 of a mile. So I know I can get it back.
I’m 73; 5’3”; 172 lb, on modified carnivore (raw dairy, limited fruit).😊
It's flu
I am 59

I Do Not Want To Waste Days Feeling Yucky When I Do Not Have To
"WORRYING" about Aging is a treatable disease.
There isn’t one formula that is healthy for every body.
The main thing is to keep learning and trying things. And be aware that the body changes over time, making some things good for us that didn’t used to be, and vice versa.
I'm 55 and have been doing the same rituals this guy is doing in the last couple of months now. I also walk and trying some muscle workouts. My body weight has decreased to a better weight now. Before I was getting heavier. I too eat a little yogurt with olive oil and sometimes a light broth with nutritional yeast and olive oil. Extra virgin. So I can take my supplements. I eat a pretty good lunch and very little but some fruit or soup later. Other days. I eat a bigger breakfast, simple salad at lunch and no dinner except maybe a few nuts.

Outstanding Commentary!!! Priceless!!! Thank You!!!
I just turned 53 and have felt like I’m in my 70s for several years. I went from running half marathons to barely finding motivation to walk more than necessary
Get your testosterone checked!
Running marathons is as bad as smoking 40 a day, get a bicycle.
Everyone will have advice for you. Everyone on here says to keep moving. I was a vibrant athletic-type, always in great shape, but came down with multiple autoimmune diseases due to viral exposure. Now I live in an electric wheelchair and feel like crap most of the time. BUT, I don't eat processed foods and I stay thin -- I hope you can find a way to feel well. My bit of advice: check adrenals, vagus nerve, B12, that kind of stuff.
The body accumulated metabolic filth for years.
Thank you Rabbi Anava fir this great chizzuk & instruction.
I used to do coffee in the morning, another one throughout the day and dinner is my only meal, because with my husband we did not have that much money, now that we are comfortable, i have my morning coffee and lunch, and I'm actually loosing weight, vs ,when I eat at night and go out with my friends or family, i alway putt on weight, so I prefere eating in the morning cause it gives me energy, but I quite carbs around 2017 and for me too, i haven't putt a foot at the dentist since then so great idea, it saves you money
David Sinclair is the new Benjamin Button! Seriously enjoyed this interview, a lot of takeaways for the average Jane! 14:25 is a good chunk of time to get the info and also being able to digest it! Appreciate the good questions Hubberman asks of his guests.
I'm 25, I only take Lunch & dinner (1 cup tea in morning)... I stopped eating in the morning when I was 5-6. As an Indian, there's too many food I see people eat all the time, I hate it, I don't eat any carcinogenic food/beverage... Only fish/eggs..... I also don't take added sugar (only 1 teaspoon/day dividing 2 cups of tea, morning & evening)..... I'm physically so active & body-mass ratio is perfect, I play football 1 hour daily (almost 5-7km running)....... I Don't wear winter clothing, only Tshirt (People call me crazy)...... Now the question is, I look back into my photos when I was 4-5 yrs younger, and I compare with Today, I see no difference 😂 This video came on my feed by coincidence... I do everything habitually what this guest doctor telling.... I'm glad. Hope I keep it up
It’s all a mindset. Just back from bouldering with my adult kids. I’m 61 and aging is beautiful!
Need to explore Dr. Lustig, explore the effects of Uric acid as a regulator
Can confirm feeling uncomfortable is the best we can do (hungry cold etc)
Very informative Andrew. Thank you. I’m really loving the information you provide for those of us, trying to better our lives👍
Well done
Thankyou

This guy implies that what he has come to for his body is what will work for everyone.
Just different blood types can make all the difference. The Eat Right for Your blood type diet saved my life.
Can you dive into the differences in intermittent fasting for women vs men? Research indicates IF may not be as beneficial for women, particularly when it comes to reproductive health/hormones, bone density and sleep. Women tend to preserve fat during scarcity. We need pertinent info on aging for women too. I'm a health provider and notice when female patients switch to IF, eventually many develop insomnia and hormonal disruptions. Some also gain weight. Most improve when they switch back to 3 meals a day. However, I don't have a perspective on longevity outcomes.
Just go through the videos of Dr. Mindy Pelz and her book, 'Fast like a girl'. Answer for your questions are there. You will be amazed.
My intermittent fasting schedule is 11:00-7:00pm. Works for me
Grateful for this depth of health advice, and the perspective from a research scientist. Optimizing health is the best insurance policy for a good life. Just one thing though - I think we need to can the war on aging. Aging is what happens when you live a normal life. The language that equates aging with disease is dehumanizing us. Aging healthfully is a fabulous goal. But we can't transcend our human imperative to live, and eventually die. That's the deal for earthlings.
Agree. Chasing spent youth for some ppl seems to negatively impact their mental health and decrease quality of life. Live healthfully but enjoy life and don’t obsess about every little thing you put into your mouth or do to your body. Going to extremes is not the answer. We actually seem to be living in an era of extremism. Being “thin” at the expense of mental health. Being “young” at the expense of mental health. Mental AND physical well-being is important.
@@questioneverything1776 Exactly this. Balance is a great goal but I don't hear the word used very often. We're treating ourselves as if we're machines. Who needs AI when we're unconsciously trying to transcend our humanity already?
Why? I disagree. I think in a natural state we would age better then just keel over dead one day. I don't think we should suffer the disability of aging for decades in pain and misery then die. I don't want to live a super long life either, this earth is just a blip on the timeline of existence...but while here I want to feel my absolute best and be functional for as long as possible. I am a nurse and seeing the suffering of aging is unacceptable if we can ameliorate some of it. Most people have a way longer lifespan than health span...we need to increase the number of quality of years of living I think. I am certainly not concerned about living longer, but want us to live better while alive!!
@@jercasgav Fair enough. On the point of improving health spans for the duration of life I agree 100%. I just don't like the term anti-aging, which literally means "against aging". I suppose that's why Attia calls his work longevity as opposed to anti-aging. As a lady once said several years ago, aging is a privilege not everyone gets, so we should celebrate life through our ages. And that includes optimizing health.
@@jercasgavk
I am 68 and I still workout a lot. I don't eat too much per meal and I believe anti aging fitness system begins with your leg fitness and strength. Certainly I don't want to get old and cannot move around well
“I skip breakfast. Except I have a tiny bit of yogurt….”. Yeah, you do not skip breakfast 😂.
He’s staying under 100 calories! That’s not a meal.
Tiny bit is not a meal😂
I agree with the title. Thank you:)
A 14 hour fast followed by a fasted sprint in the morning is my routine.
AMAZING information! Thank you very much
Floss and brush your teeth to remove the biome and avoid plaque and calculous.
- From a dental hygienist who had quite the sweet tooth but never plaque or calc buildup
i've been binge watching different "self help" videos, nutrition, exercise, fasting, ice bath etc and it must be working bc even tho i am on a medicine that massively causes weight gain, so it was at least twice as difficult yet I went from over 170lbs back down to my teenage weight of 140, i guess bc of adding various little and big tricks, example getting exposure to light in the morning. now if i could just tame my addictive personality id be on my way lol
I also started re-education myself on a holistic approach to maintain my health and I've seen massive improvement in both physically and mentally. Keep going!
@@Rodrigo-tk2fm hell yes
Thank you,Ponce de Leon ❤⛲
Wouldn’t being fat or being obese would put the body in stress. Aside from the science behind it, it literally is harder to do anything when you have more fat encompassing every organ in your body. Plus those who are overweight have a weaker will power, so they would be eating a lot more and constantly digesting not allowing the body to recover and rejuvenate on a cellular level
My family were all movers , until they had an issue that kept them from walking and exercising. So which came first the chicken or the egg ? In my family the issue that caused them to age came first and then they became more sedentary.
More of this content.
Ok so i'm going to say something that was probably said in the video?
After listening to this interview, in regards to the cells in our body and ageing. Our cells love energy, and they switch on and fire up and divide with the consumption of eating (energy). When you eat, you're basically ingesting energy into all the cells in your body to fire up and divide. Dividing can cause mutations, disease, ageing etc.
Sorry, I have the intellect of Billy Madison.
I am 39 and very sedentary working 6 days all day at a computer, my diet is poor and i get puffed really easily. I really need to hear that it's not too late to turn it all around..:(
It’s not too late. I turned 40 this year and am overweight, but I found the app fastic. It is free and tracks intermittent fasts and sends notifications when to start and stop. I used to throw bites of food in my mouth all day...off the kids plates, anything I saw sitting around...all without thinking about it. Now I forget to eat during my eating period a lot because I’m so used to saying “no I’ll have it later when I can eat” I have felt so much better in just three weeks and haven’t even really changed what I eat, just when, but am not ready to step it up to healthier food choices. It fells really good!
Meant to say I’m NOW ready not not toward the end there about stepping it up!
@@MillSiteStudio thank you very much for your reply! I'm glad you found something that works for you. I might have to check that app out:)
Look for Alexi Suvorin. He was brutish! But the message is clear
Ive already seen in my lifetime how people are dying much earlier. We arent living as old as we were and even then people arent healthy! Its obvious something has changed! ( food and environment) our pets arent even living very long anymore !
I am curious how old Dr. Sinclair is. If he's 65 I am doing this RIGHT NOW🤣
😂😂😂. I think you’re going to be disappointed.
He's 58 but still pretty good
He looks great. Impressive. Thanks@@ranchoboomerang
He’s almost 60 but looks 15 years younger.
He's 54
Fantastic conversation 👍
This information is great but I feel it's missing "actionable steps" from it. And, I understand you can't tell people what and when to eat but, providing a spectrum of best practices may provide an opportunity for an actionable step.
IF Intermittent Fasting
For instance, 20 hours not eating, 4 hour eating window
OMD One meal a day
2MD 2 meals a day
I choose OMD Lunch
Cut ALL sugar
Cut/ drastically reduce carbs
NO processed food
Eat small amount of something fermented with your food
Drink lots of water...green tea
Coffee is ok
Once a month do a 72 hour fast
It's sad that these supplements are so expensive. Too bad we can't have access to quality supplements at a price most of us can afford. Good health it seems it a privileged state.
At the age of 62, people think I'm 10 years younger. Granted I have great genes but, I've never smoked and use sunscreen. In 2019 I started to do intermittent fasting to lose weight. Little did I know that in 1.5 years I'd drop 45lbs and lose my gut along with a few other body areas. I feel like I got a"reset" from my fasting and going without meals. I also started Invisalign braces which is very strict with water only and I mention this because I clenched my jaws a lot during that time. It's 4 years since I did all this and I'm still as healthy as ever with a few minor health issues and I never take pain meds. Fasting works and is in the Bible and that's the greatest book ever written! 🥰🥳
Thank you for the information. It’s going to help me.
The answer to my longstanding question was hinted at, but please elaborate as many who wish to do IF need advice: I take nine pills including 3 prescriptions as directed “at breakfast” or “in the morning.” I can easily skip breakfast but that means my first meal is around noon. Does it matter when I actually ingest meds/supplements, say, 3x a day if my eating window is 6-8 hours max?
I can definitely relate to the remark about steak,
Beef in general I limit personally because it also can make me feel awful.
Even if you eat it alone?
Aging is not a disease
In one hundred years, we will all be dead. There’s no avoiding it.
Aging is a mutation brought on by Tower of Babel event.

Each person has to find what works for their body, giving it time to adjust to the changes.
Awesome! I could feel the changes and see them and docs kept saying it’s normal menopause . I felt awful when they couldn’t even be detected in my blood
A friend hooked me up with pellets and I’m way better. Still working on things I didn’t work on because no hormones can make you feel blah. But I’m on it now again
I was very thin and active and energetic before they dropped. But the drive was gone and I ate bad stuff at times
I believe I dropped them via stress and zero fat diet or very close to for a long time. Several years. So probably put myself into menopause
Any studies on HRT in women like testosterone?
Those changes you mentioned would surely pause things. It's like the body is saying that child birthing takes a back seat with improper diet and mental state.
What are pellets?
@@jennieangell4439they implant them in the gluteal muscle and they release over time. Quick easy and you get lab tests to know your levels. Much more efficient, IMO, than creams and shots
