EXTEND LIFESPAN

“While a similar effect was not found in high school students, gargling with green tea may drop the risk of influenza infection seven or eightfold compared to gargling with water in elderly nursing home residents where flu can get really serious.”

“External genital warts caused by human wart viruses are one of the most common and fastest spreading venereal diseases worldwide. Patients with external genital warts present with one or several cauliflower like growths on the genitals and or anal regions, considerably impairing people's emotional and sexual well-being. But rub some green tea ointment on, and you can achieve complete clearance of all warts in more than fifty percent of cases.”

“Moving down to neurocognitive health. The data is not out yet, but later on this year, we're going to see the next step for what are called anti-amaloid medicines. Medicines that can go right at the heart of the accumulation of plaques. This time not in our vasculature, but but in our brains that lead to all sorts of damage and cognitive decline. And we've got medicines today that can go right at those plaques and bust them. And what Lily is going to probably show later on this year... is that getting at those plaques earlier before they accumulate as significantly is going to show dramatic effects on protecting us from developing Alzheimer's.”

“All of these axes that I define as the five key layers to defense to the defensive side of a health stack, each of them has medicines available to help us control our fate. Each of them has medicines available that if we could get on them early and be proactive about where we're going with our health, they will undoubtedly add an extra decade of life to our expected lifespan and have the potential to take curves that have been dead flat for decades and drive one of the first inflections ever.”

“This is the study I've been looking for, a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial in which people rinse their mouth twice a day for a month with a green tea mouthwash or a similar looking tasting placebo mouthwash. And at the end of the month, the stinky bad breath compounds were reduced nearly 40% in the green tea group versus closer to only 10% in the placebo group.”

“The gap is not necessarily needing more medicines. It's actually pointing those medicines at the impact that they can have. And so to me, what I'm excited about about the GOP1 opportunity is we're seeing the first commercial proof that we're ready to head in that direction. The reason that those sales have exceeded our expectations is people are taking into their own hands their future. People are basically voting with the feet saying, 'I'm done waiting to reactively go and treat myself for the diseases that I backward-lookingly manifest. I'm ready to go get after and help myself to live longest and fullest.'”

“Green tea appears to work as well as chlorhexidine for reducing plaque, and chlorhexidine is like the gold standard. Green tea is safer too. Chlorhexidine has has so many side effects that you're not supposed to use it for more than a short time period. Side effects like discoloration of the teeth, increased formation of tartar, an impairment of taste sensation, and occasionally damage to the inner lining of your mouth, whereas if anything, drinking green tea appears to have good side effects.”

“Subjects who drink six cups of tea per day had up to a 15 fold increase in infection fighting interferon production in as little as one week. But why? There's actually a molecular pattern shared by cancer cells and pathogens and with edible plant products such as tea, apples, mushrooms, and wine.”

“The two waking states are alpha and beta. We have alpha brain waves when we're relaxed, aware, attentive, like when we close our eyes and meditate. And beta waves are more when we're stimulated with increased alertness and the hustle and bustle state where most of us live our lives. How can we get more in that alpha state, that wakeful relaxation, fully alert and focused, but calm? Well, if we relax in a nice peaceful place, after about ninety minutes we can start to see some significant alpha activity.”

“Tea consumption is associated with living a longer life, thanks to links to less cardiac death, heart disease, stroke, and type two diabetes, and not just by a little. A three cup a day increase in tea consumption per day is associated with a twenty four percent decreased risk of premature death from all causes put together, the equivalent of adding about two years onto your lifespan.”

“GLP-1 medicines are showing us what happens when we get to the root of disease. These medicines have the potential to do everything from protect us from being diabetic after being pre-diabetic all the way through lowering our risk of having a heart attack or a stroke. Protecting our kidneys and soon we're going to see the opportunity to protect us from developing addictions to alcohol and drugs. So an a profoundly important single medicine because these medicines are incredibly powerful and they can do wonders for people's long-term health.”

“When we think about the lipid optimization, we have and our bodies produce cholesterol. And there's a type of cholesterol called your LDL cholesterol that's really dangerous. And it's dangerous because this cholesterol builds up in our bodies over time. And it's slowly accumulating in our vasculature. And as it accumulates, it gets to a point where it causes a blockage. That's a heart attack and a stroke. And we have medicines today, whether they're statins, the PCSK9 inhibitors, that can do wonders to reduce our level of cholesterol. And most middle-aged men and women walking around have somewhere between a 30 and a 50% probability of having a heart attack and a stroke sometime between the time that they turn 40 and the time that they turn 80.”
