Can Humans Live to 150?

Health

So with the technology that we are having right now, for our entire humanity, we believe that human can live up to 100 and 20 years old, to 100 and 50 years old or who are bored by this moment with IP S CS plasma exchange peptide gene therapy. There are so many exciting technologies now for humanity to be able to extend not only the health plan but also the life span. So we are believing with the extension of the health, we will be able to solve disease one by one. But at the same time, really able to be extending the health plan. So people can live longer. But also at the same time, healthier. People always ask, what is the best way to extending their health and live healthier better? Well, it really comes down to the four real pillar of your life. Eat well, sleep for at least eight hours. Behave well, do exercise at least three times per week and also behave mentally. So take care of your brain and be mentally positive that's solving 80% of the problem. And we can go to extreme like doing stem cells, doing plasma dilutions, doing anything that's with the technology that can extend even more. One thing that almost all people can do today to promote their lifespan 20 to 60 minutes of aerobic activity a day. There are really strong data to show that even very small levels of very moderate activity significantly impact health outcomes. I think we're really focused culturally and a lot of the efforts that I see on the longevity piece and on trying to be young forever instead of really maximizing an optimal life at every age. And acknowledging that there are limitations at every age too. And hopefully we can change some of those. So I think in longevity is really, there's a spectrum of interventions that you could follow. And we're very much at the clinical uh medical end of that spectrum. So we help our patients really who come in and get scanned every year or two, just understand how the way they're living their life is impacting the underlying physiology of their body. And by providing them with that information, we are able to empower them to intervene early. And that intervention may be sometimes to obtain medical treatment early. Other times, it might be just to make an adjustment to lifestyle and those two things together that can really make a huge impact on the trajectory of one's health. I think one little known fact about longevity is that women who enter menopause later tend to live longer. And the converse is also true. And one thing that's cool is this has actually been demonstrated experimentally in a way where if you take an ovary out of a young mouse and transplant that into an older mouse, you can actually see lifespan extension in that older animal by to 11% with the effect size proportionate to the relative use of the ovary transplant. So this really underscores that ovaries and ovarian function are, are really inherently linked with longevity of the host of that ovary. And I think this really can drive home for women. You know, we think of ovaries as being essential for fertility and they're, they are, but they're important beyond that. I mean, their, their function is essential for cardiovascular health, for immune function, for sexual health or sleep, uh for brain function, for cognitive health uh mood. I think, you know, one thing that I think is important to say as it relates to health and longevity is, is is women really recognizing that and doing what they can to support their ovarian health. What I'm very excited about is there's so much more data than there was a decade or two ago. We now are able to do routine blood tests every few months. We can measure the uh age of ourselves using epigenetic techniques at provo, we're starting to really understand through having imaged so many people, what a normal organ, be it the brain or the liver looks like for someone of a certain age and then we can start to look at each individual and say, well, how are you tracking which organs are, are you doing well for your age and which organs do perhaps you need to focus on? So this data I believe is so valuable to individuals who otherwise are sort of just moving through life, not really knowing or having a lot of feedback about what's going on under the skin and through this data, hopefully we'll live a more positive uh and healthy life. As a result, I am excited about some of the technology that's giving more power to the user, like the wearables that we have the diagnostic technology that's coming out so that we can better understand our own health at a more granular level. And I think there's a very important place for doctors, but I think that especially in the community of folks, you know, that are in this kind of room and, and the communities that we run in there is a greater advocacy at the individual level for what a person can and will do for their own health. And I think ultimately, it is up to the individual to have a good healthy lifestyle. I mean, I think being able to have, you know, some of the stuff like the Apple watches and some of the very cool, I think VR based technology that's coming for mental health and, and some of the things coming down the line for, you know, being able to do ultrasounds, whether it's for treatments focused ultrasound or being able to replace like mammograms for breast exams. To understand if women have breast cancer, using some of the technology that's being developed for a more noninvasive methodology for that, I think is really cool to allow us to have a more preventative lens and understand our health ballistically and be able to intervene ideally with cheap and effective lifestyle transitions that can prevent the onset of diseases. Right now, we have already arrived into health care 3.0 which is we are focusing on prevention rather than being very reactive after solving the problem when we have the disease in our own body. So healthcare 2.0 is sicker. You only go to doctors when you are having disease. The healthcare 3.0 which is right now is health care. That means we are caring about our health and who is having the most information should be yourself? Because you are the one who is understanding what is the lifestyle, how are you behaving? What medicine will cause side effect to you? What is the dosage effect? How many caffeine will make you starting to shake all of these? Your doctor doesn't know because all of these is more focusing on health rather than disease or sick. Why we are encouraging people to do diagnostic test is because this is the launch pad for you to actually start your own health journey to have the power back to you and responsibility and rights being healthy, back to you to able to start the journey of the health.
