00:00
So with the technology that we are having right now for entire humanity,
00:03
we believe that human can live up to 120 years old to 150 years old
00:08
or who are born right this moment. With iPSCs,
00:11
plasma exchange, peptides, gene therapies, there's so many exciting technologies
00:16
right now for humanity to able to extend not only the health
00:20
span but also the lifespan. So we are believing with the extension of
00:24
the health, we'll be able to solving disease one by one but at the same time
00:28
really able to be extending the health span so people can live longer but also
00:31
at the same time healthier.
00:39
Well people always ask what is the best way to extending their health span
00:43
and live healthier better. Well it really comes down to the four
00:47
real pillar of your life. Eat well, sleep for at least eight hours,
00:53
behave well, do exercise at least three times per week
00:57
and also behave mentally. So take care of your brain
01:00
and be mentally positive. That's solving 80% of the problem
01:04
and we can go to extreme like doing stem cells,
01:07
doing plasma dilutions, doing anything that's
01:10
with the technology that can extend even more.
01:14
One thing that almost all people can do today to promote their lifespan
01:18
is 20 to 60 minutes of aerobic activity a day. There are really strong data to
01:25
show that even very small levels of very
01:28
moderate activity significantly impact health outcomes. I
01:33
think we're really focused culturally in a lot of the efforts
01:36
that I see on on the longevity piece and on
01:38
trying to be young forever instead of really maximizing an optimal life at
01:45
every age and acknowledging that there are limitations at every age too and
01:49
hopefully we can change some of those. So I think in longevity is really there's
01:52
a spectrum of interventions that you could follow
01:55
and we're very much at the clinical medical end
01:58
of that spectrum. So we help our patients really
02:01
who come in and get scanned every year or two just understand
02:04
how the way they're living their life is impacting the underlying physiology of
02:09
their bodies and by providing them with that
02:11
information we're able to empower them to intervene
02:16
early and that intervention may be sometimes to obtain medical treatment
02:19
early. Other times it might be just to make an
02:21
adjustment to lifestyle and those two things together can really
02:24
make a huge impact on the trajectory of one's health.
02:27
I think one little known fact about longevity is that
02:31
women who enter menopause later tend to live longer. The converse is also true
02:35
and one thing that's cool is this has actually been demonstrated
02:39
experimentally in a way where if you take an ovary out of a young
02:43
mouse and transplant that into an older mouse
02:46
you can actually see lifespan extension in that older animal by six to eleven
02:50
percent with the effect size proportionate to the relative youth of
02:54
the ovary transplanted. So this really underscores that
02:57
ovaries and ovarian function are really inherently linked with
03:00
longevity of the host of that ovary and I think this really
03:04
can drive home for women you know we think of ovaries as being essential for
03:08
fertility and there they are but they're important beyond
03:12
that. I mean their function is essential for
03:15
cardiovascular health, for immune function, for sexual health, for sleep,
03:19
for brain function, for cognitive health, mood.
03:23
I think you know one thing that I think is important to say as it relates to
03:26
health and longevity is women really recognizing that and
03:29
doing what they can to support their ovarian health.
03:37
What I'm very excited about is there's so much more data than there was
03:41
a decade or two ago. We now are able to do routine blood tests
03:45
every few months. We can measure the age of our cells using epigenic clock
03:50
techniques. At Prenuvo we're starting to really
03:53
understand through having imaged so many people
03:56
what a normal organ be it the brain or the liver
04:01
looks like for someone of a certain age and then we can start to look at each
04:04
individual and say well how are you tracking? Which organs are
04:07
are you doing well for your age and which organs do perhaps you need to
04:10
focus on? So this data I believe is so valuable to
04:13
individuals who otherwise are sort of just moving through life not really
04:17
knowing or having a lot of feedback about what's
04:20
going on under the skin and through this data hopefully we'll
04:23
live a more positive and healthy life as a result.
04:27
I am excited about some of the technology that's giving more power to
04:32
the user like the wearables that we have the
04:35
diagnostic technology that's coming out so that we can better understand our own
04:39
health at a more granular level and I think
04:43
there's a very important place for doctors but I think that
04:45
especially in the community of folks you know that are in this kind of room and
04:48
the communities that we run in there's a a greater advocacy at the
04:52
individual level for what a person can and will do for their own health and I
04:56
think ultimately it is up to the individual to have a good
04:59
healthy lifestyle. I mean I think being able to have
05:02
you know some of the stuff like the Apple watches and some of the very cool
05:06
I think VR based technology that's coming for mental health and and some of
05:09
the things coming down the line for you know being able to do
05:12
ultrasound whether it's for treatments focused ultrasound or
05:15
being able to replace like mammograms for breast exams
05:19
to understand if women have breast cancer using some of the technology
05:22
that's being developed for a more non-invasive methodology for
05:25
that I think is really cool to allow us to have a more preventative lens and
05:31
understand our health holistically and be able to intervene
05:35
ideally with cheap and effective lifestyle
05:38
transitions that can prevent the onset of diseases.
05:42
Right now we have already arrived into healthcare 3.0
05:45
which is we are focusing on prevention rather than
05:49
being very reactive after solving the problem when we have the
05:54
disease in our own body. So healthcare 2.0 is sick care. You only
05:58
go to doctors when you're having disease but healthcare 3.0 which is right now is
06:03
healthcare. That means we're caring about our health
06:07
and who is having the most information should be yourself
06:10
because you are the one who is understanding what is their lifestyle
06:14
how are you behaving, what medicine will cause side effect to you, what is the
06:18
dosage effect, how many caffeine will make you starting
06:20
to shake. All of these your doctor doesn't know because all of these is
06:24
more focusing on health rather than disease or sick. Why we are
06:28
encouraging people to do diagnostic tests is because
06:31
this is the launchpad for you to actually start
06:34
your own health journey to have the power back to you
06:37
and responsibility and rights being healthy back to you
06:41
to able to start the journey of the health.
