Welcome to "Aging Evolution."
This documentary was created
to help give you a higher quality of life.
You may not know this, but many of us are held hostage
by our own thoughts, our daily patterns, and our habits.
Hello, my name is Chris Voss.
I was the head hostage negotiator for the FBI in New York City,
but today I am here to do a little negotiation with you.
You can keep doing what you're doing
and you'll keep getting what you're getting.
If you're happy with that, then stay on track.
But if you're looking to make a change,
if you want to lose some weight,
if you want to have more health and vitality,
if you want to have more energy
and not feel sick and tired all the time,
then we have the perfect film for you.
The approach we took was to find extraordinary people
who have achieved outstanding results
in their own lives over many decades.
We focus on three key areas-- diet, exercise,
and perhaps most importantly, mindset.
Watch and learn from these dynamic individuals
to unlock their secrets
to help you achieve your best shape ever.
Get ready for an exciting journey
as we present "Aging Evolution."
[music playing]
You're young. This is the youngest you're ever gonna be.
Act young.
Thus proved that, if you put the work in,
I don't care about the age.
And I'm not talking about just surviving.
I'm talking about thriving.
Health and wellness for me is so much deeper than just the body.
It's kind of a mind-body-spirit union for me.
What I feel is the core thing that keeps me young, youthful.
Iris: I just do it because I know I can.
I've done it my entire life, and I never stopped.
But if you can train yourself to get in the right frame of mind,
you'll take yourself places you never thought you could be.
It is possible. It's possible to change
the way you look, the way you feel, the way you function.
It's not the only motivator of human behavior,
it's just the biggest one.
Legends aren't made from what they say,
it's from what they do.
Ask yourself, look yourself in the mirror and say,
"Is what I'm doing working for me?
Are the patterns that I've created in my life working for me?"
Why must we age prematurely?
Why must we feel bad?
Why must we lose our faculties, our thoughts, our emotions?
We're in epidemic levels of neurodegenerative diseases--
Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS.
All of these things that are creating prisoners in people's bodies.
I see it every single day. It breaks my heart.
And it's just certain things we can alter
and change in our lives to prevent that kind of fate.
Look at the things that people get as they age, right?
One of the most common things is type II diabetes, right?
People gain wait, and then they have
a lot of comorbid conditions that come along with that.
Hypertension is a good example of that.
A lot of people that have type II diabetes
also end up with hypertension.
With 24me, we can actually find the markers
that each one of us have,
so I can find out the proclivities I have
towards certain ailments.
I could see that maybe I have a low-risk marker
for Alzheimer's as I age.
If we could figure out and titrate
exactly what are the combinations of DNA
that is causing that marker to actually express,
that might be a certain list of factors of our diet, could be exercise.
There are a lot of different factors that go into this,
but just by knowing what our markers are,
we can already start taking conscious choices
to live in a different way, changing our habits,
so that those genes will not end up getting expressed.
We can slow that down, we can mitigate the damage.
We can mitigate the pathways that start to express those things.
Not only are we caring more about our physical body
and our aesthetics and our looks,
we can actually stop the proliferation of diseases.
What an approach.
I'm not trying to live forever.
I'm trying to die young as late as possible.
Mark Cuban: At some point, we all face our own mortality.
Paying attention to your own body,
particularly as you age, is important.
You hit 50 and you think, "I'm halfway through."
And then you hit 60 and say,
"All right, now it's up to me to try to figure out what I'm gonna do."
You know, all of us want to live forever.
And, unfortunately, it's not a reality.
We all face our mortality.
Having A-fib, I haven't had a lot of events,
but, as it turns out, you know, one time I did have an extended event.
My heart's been, "Bam-bam-bam-bam-bam-bam-bam,"
and I literally went to my doctor to have a cardio aversion,
which is where they put you under, put a thing down your throat,
take a picture of your heart, and then they literally,
like you see on TV, they put you under, and they shock you.
You have to understand the most basic elements about your body.
Each of us is unique. We're our own equation, right?
We're a big math equation with an untold number of variables.
I've been through the grind that every entrepreneur goes through,
working 20 hours a day, it seemed like,
not having any time off, and, you know,
you go through that, "Oh, I'm gonna go to the gym,"
or, "I'm gonna run," and then you just don't find the time.
It was a mistake on my part.
It starts with exercise, but also your diet.
I try to work out every day.
I try to get an hour of cardio in on an elliptical
or a bike or playing basketball.
Or if I was gonna watch a basketball game or a sporting event,
I was gonna do it on a treadmill, on an elliptical.
That's how I found my time because every entrepreneur, every business person,
everybody with a job that consumes them,
you get to that point where you have to decompress.
When I haven't had as much time to stay fit,
I'm not as productive.
What I've learned over the years
is that you have to learn about your body,
and you have to try to figure out what works best for you.
My dad who, you know, just passed away at 92,
used to tell me, you know, "You're young.
This is the youngest that you're ever gonna be. Act young."
I'm a big believer life is half random,
and the half I can control, I'll do my best to control.
Yeah, and there's physical limitations as you age,
but I'm not gonna create my own mental limitations.
We're seeing exponential, cataclysmic growth
in medical science and technology.
Why is that?
Well, I think we're starting to realize
what really matters,
and that's our existence,
and that's our purpose, that's our health,
that's our wellness.
Every year, it's compounding.
So it's not a steady growth of one plus two plus three plus four,
it's actually one plus one equals a thousand.
It's compounded interested in terms of the growth
of our expertise in understanding
how these human bodies work,
and the relationship we have
with the inner cell and the outer cell.
I find it so fascinating, and I think it's gonna take us to a place
where we start to realize we can avoid
many of the diseases we're dealing with today.
I think with all the technology that we have available to us--
AI, gene editing, hormone replacement therapy--
this is really the future of medicine
that's gonna help us not only live longer,
but have better quality of life.
We will tackle the aging process
and the aging question.
[music playing]
My name's Brooke Burke, and I'm...
[whispering] 49.
I'm almost 50.
Am I really at the halfway point of my life?
I think age is just a number.
Time is something we don't have a lot of.
Life is happening for all of us.
It's the choices that I've made as a woman,
of how I take care of myself, what I put in my body.
Um, health and wellness, for me, is so much deeper than just the body,
it's kind of a mind-body-spirit union for me.
And there are choices, and I try to make really mindful choices in my life.
I really believe that sweat, rhythm and breath and movement
will change you, it'll change your body,
it'll change your mind, more important than anything else.
It's a choice. We wake up every day,
"How do I want to spend my life?"
What I've discovered at this point in my life
are the benefits of pushing through to the other side of fatigue.
When you don't have it in you, maybe you're in a funk,
maybe you're a mom, maybe you're a woman that's just lost their way,
and you don't fully understand the benefits of fitness,
movement changes you and movement creates energy.
I think energy creates happiness.
Happiness is what shifts you, through that possibility,
to go to the other side of whatever your goals are.
I think one of the biggest mistakes that people make
is they get into their head.
They let fear get in the way,
and they don't begin something 'cause they don't know how to start.
And I tell everybody, "Just start today and do something."
Sweat equity is hard, but it's free.
Fitness is supposed to be uncomfortable.
It's supposed to be hard.
I get that fitness is a total challenge.
It's supposed to hurt a little bit.
And why do we want to do things that, like, hurt?
Because on the other side of that, you know, we see our result.
If you can just show up for yourself and do it,
on the other side of that, you have this different kind of energy.
Push yourself so hard that you can't go any further.
You know, the strongest people,
the most experienced people know when to quit.
So you have to just find your courage, table the fear,
start small, do something,
and anything is better than nothing,
and maybe it's a five-minute workout,
maybe tomorrow it's eight minutes.
Maybe next week, you get through the 15-minute burn.
We have to meet ourselves with compassion.
We have to be kind and brave.
And, you know, I think fitness can be fun.
I think a lot of people dread it,
and so why are they gonna show up and do it?
I think it can be fun, and you have to find things that you enjoy.
Well, if long life is what you're looking for,
then you've got to take care of yourself,
'cause no one's gonna show up for you.
No one's gonna do that work for you.
We gotta show up for ourselves,
and I think we're worth it.
We have one place to live, that is our body.
No one's gonna show up and take care of it for us,
so we have to take care of our body.
You just do it, and you learn and you live.
Right?
Hi, I'm Steve Taylor with "Aging Evolution."
I've been a workout buff all my life,
and I've been doing competitions
for approximately the last seven years.
I'm 65 years old now,
and I've done what I'm calling my last competition in Reno.
Uh, I got a pro card at that national championship in 2016.
I've done several pro shows and, of course,
they're all still a lot younger than me.
Fitness has turned my life around,
and it's created more fun and more opportunities for me
in my life than I ever would have expected,
so I have nothing but joy in my life because of it.
I went to the gym, like everybody else, kind of on and off.
The original thing that got me started going to the gym
was that I was kind of this tall, skinny Ichabod Crane-looking dude
and I did lot like that look, and I did not
want to go through life looking like that.
So I started going to the gym. I love the muscle man look.
I wanted to be a body builder, and I would force myself to go.
I didn't enjoy it.
Everybody there looked good, and they knew what they were doing.
It started getting better. I started noticing improvement.
And once I started noticing results, I--
that fostered some enthusiasm for me to really go for it.
So I did that for a long time
and I got to where I thought I had a pretty decent physique.
Later in my life, I was talked into doing a competition,
and that's when I really started taking the fitness thing seriously.
And then, of course, once you achieve something you want more.
So I became even more consumed, and it changed my life.
My whole life started revolving around fitness,
and so I did another show in another six months and I won.
And so that really lit my fire,
and my nutrition and everything that I did
revolved around, hopefully, doing fitness correctly.
I've never looked back ever since. I won that national championship and turned 60,
and all sorts of doors opened for me.
I've had reality TV shows
and photo shoots and appearances here and there,
and it's fun, the attention that an old man gets.
Hi, my name is Chef Babette Davis.
I am the co-owner and head chef of Stuff I Eat restaurant.
I transitioned to a vegan lifestyle
in 1990.
And it was the best thing I've ever done in my life.
I also started working out in 1990.
And the reason it happened in 1990
is because that's when I met my current husband, Rondele Davis.
And he was big on running hills in Griffith Park,
and he gave me two books--
"Fit For Life" by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond
and "The Mucusless Diet Healing System"
by Professor Arnold Ehret.
Knowledge is power,
and that is what we lack too much of-- knowledge.
And once I began to practice their suggestions
of food combining, I started feeling so different.
I could actually eat something
and not have the loudest belches on the planet, trust me.
I felt like anything that was sold in the supermarket had to be okay.
I learned to read labels-- not just nutritional facts,
I learned to read ingredients.
I got off refined sugar and that cleared up the skin.
And then, with the "Mucusless Diet Healing System,"
Professor Arnold Ehret was way before his time.
He made me understand that all "dis-ease"
begins in your gut, and mucus is the cause.
Period. Over and out.
You can give whatever disease whatever name you want to give it,
it's an overload of inflammation and mucus.
I giggle a little bit because my husband and I,
after we read those books and we got together,
we decide that we're gonna start a catering company, so--
At first, though, I thought I was going to be a singer,
so I went to Japan, did some singing,
but while I was there, the only thing I did was worked out and cooked.
I'll be 71 in December.
My husband will be 73 in September.
We decided that nutrients
was the go-to first.
Once you get the nutrients,
you don't have to eat a lot. That's the key.
We overeat. I watched my mother, double knee replacement.
My mother was like a bionic woman.
Strong and beautiful and wise, but...
the eating just took its toll.
Overweight. Not even five feet tall.
200 pounds. What is that?
I don't want nothing messing with my lifeline, period, over, and out.
I watched my mother have a stroke.
I watched her try to come out of her bedroom
and go to the bathroom and collapse,
and that was the end of her quality.
She never came back from that.
If it's all based on what I do for myself, I'm taking care of this.
And it's not about the way that I look.
A facial look can end tomorrow.
So we're not talking about that, aesthetics.
We're talking about health. We're talking about strength.
That's what we're talking about.
[music playing]
Hey, there, I'm Phil Collen, and I'm the lead guitar player in Def Leppard.
I've been for 36 years, I think. Wow.
The fitness and health is so important going-- getting older.
I'm 61 now, and I actually honestly, honest-to-God,
feel better than I did when I was 30.
I've done all different sorts of workouts,
routines, diets, and everything,
and because of the experience and knowledge
and the great people I meet all the time,
you can apply that and actually make it work for you.
So joints, muscles, changing the way you do workouts.
You know, I met Eric the trainer,
and he was a godsend, because--
Just doing different range of motion,
so you're not kind of putting tendons, ligaments,
bones, and joints and that at risk.
You know, I'm in a rock band, so your early 20s,
women throwing themselves at you.
There's drinks, and everything is crazy.
And, at a certain point, you go, "Whoa."
I started blacking out,
I was, like, just drinking too much, and you go--
and I didn't remember stuff.
So I started to recognize that,
and I kind of stopped drinking, and it was very hard,
and my best friend, Steve Clark,
who was in the band and my drinking buddy,
he didn't stop drinking, and it killed him.
And, um, I'd already stopped before that.
I'd actually had a few fouled attempts.
You know, I was like, "Oh, it'll be safe to drink, I'll have a glass of wine."
That didn't work because I bought a Jack by the end of the week.
All that stuff, so at a certain point,
we were-- I think we were recording or writing songs
for the "Hysteria" album in Dublin,
and I decided to cold-turkey stop.
And then I started getting into fitness
'cause I had all these extra hours in a day
where I wasn't kind of recuperating or recovering from a binge.
The moral of the story of life
is to know more today than you did yesterday,
and more important is actually applying that.
You apply what works, you apply what doesn't hurt.
You know, you shouldn't be in pain.
You can be sore, you can work hard,
but you shouldn't be kind of ruining yourself or injuring yourself.
I can wake up in the morning, cold kick, head kick without warming up,
just because I've been doing it for years.
[music playing]
No one cares about you except you.
Someone else's opinion really doesn't matter,
especially when it's your health, your life and everything.
That's just about you.
Michael O'Hearn: We are getting older every single day.
Unless you're fighting to get better,
you're dropping backwards.
Life does that to you.
And I think that's one of the biggest mistakes.
And I know that it's not about nutrition,
it's not about anything, it's about mindset,
that you have to keep working smarter, not harder
to get better.
And never lose that drive.
How do you get the drive? How do you get the passion?
How do you want to move forward?
That's really gotta come from you.
We're blessed enough to be able to do what we do.
Appreciate that. Appreciate it, and work your ass off to get better.
'Cause that's the ultimate goal.
The ultimate goal should be
to get as great of an individual
as you can possibly be.
And it's not you being a millionaire
or having the perfect family or kids or whatever it is,
it's about you being the best quality you can be.
I'm the guy that's gonna stay consistent.
I'm the guy that's gonna outwork
every other single person.
I'm the guy that's gonna stay in the industry
and on the covers of the magazines the longest.
You can't be the same individual that you are today
if you're trying to be more successful.
And I think one commonality that you'll hear from everybody,
not even watching this, is that they had to give up
certain things to get new things.
I had to give up Friday and Saturday nights
and parties and this and that, or hanging out with people,
to achieve something greater.
Everything I'm speaking about, easy to talk about it.
It's hard to do it.
Start saying over and over again, repeat it, repeat it,
that this is who you're going to be,
this is the steps you're going to take,
and continuously say those things,
because it's the voice in the head-- you talk to yourself
more than you talk to anybody in the world.
That voice in the head is continuously going,
so keep trying to re-write it.
You want to get better.
You have to make that decision to go,
"I'm done being the way I am,
I'm not gonna be like everybody else.
I'm gonna take care of myself."
Because, unless you take care of yourself,
unless you seriously go, "I need to be healthy
for my family and my friends, for myself... "
You gotta trust the process.
And if you go to the gym one day
and come home and you expect a change, it doesn't happen.
But it's that small, baby steps, where after a year
of continuously staying on a nutrition plan,
staying healthy, continuously training,
doing what you need to do, it starts adding up.
Do the action, don't talk about it.
That's one of the biggest things. Don't talk about it.
"I'm going to do this."
Legends aren't made from what they say,
it's from what they do.
If you can do one, that's a good test.
If you can do five, that's pretty good,
and if you can do 10, I'm pretty impressed.
Woman: Okay, so what's Iris gonna do?
- Let's see what she can do. - I'll do what I can.
- Man: Go, Iris. - Woman: Go for it, Iris.
One, two, three. Now, lower.
Four, five, six.
- Man: Go, Iris! - Seven, eight.
- Woman: Oh, my God. - Nine, ten.
- There you go.
- 11, 12. - [crowd cheering]
- 13, 14. Nice! - Wow!
Man: Go, Iris!
[all cheering]
Man: Unbelievable!
[cheering continues]
Man: Oh, no!
Oh, my Lord.
Iris Davis: On my birthday,
performing 21 pull-ups on live TV,
I broke the record. The record was 10,
held by a lady in China.
- [fanfare] - Yay!
- Go, Iris! - It was unbelievable.
I got into fitness at age 22.
I am talking about the early '60s now.
There were no other women in gyms,
and most gyms did not allow women
to enter or even join.
I had suffered from severe trauma and abuse
in my early childhood and teens,
with the death of my first child at age 18.
In order to save my own life,
I started walking up and down the street.
One day, I walked into a gym,
and I found out, to my surprise,
when I was in a gym, I was not sad or depressed.
And I kept up this way of life 54 years.
I grew up in Dublin in a very poor family,
13 siblings,
and I never thought I would achieve anything.
Women did not go to college. We went to work at 14 years old.
However, I continued to educate myself all throughout my life.
One of my biggest achievements was in 2020.
I was awarded a pioneer award
by the Women's World Leadership Congress.
I take delight in meeting people,
and talking to them about health and fitness.
It's so easy to be fit when you're 30, 40, 50.
But when you are in your late 70s,
it takes a lot of hard work.
You have to work harder and work longer.
And, in order to do this,
I make sure my nutrition is on point.
I eat lots of vegetables, drink lots of water,
and I eat six or seven times a day.
I am very, very content where I am now,
considering where I came from,
and I feel very blessed.
I'm so grateful for all my friends on social media
because it's only in the last four years
that people recognize my achievement.
[music playing]
So all these years, I was not looking for glory.
I did it for myself.
So do it for yourself.
Stay well, and don't let anybody bring you down.
Finding your true north of what makes you happy
is the key to success, is the key to happiness.
You can see it in every, you know, program out there
that's trying to get you into a better place in life.
All those self-help courses and all that kind of stuff.
But it really comes down to the fundamental,
"Are you living in your intention?
Are you living in your truth?"
We all incarnated here for a purpose.
I say it all the time.
If you're not in your purpose,
you're in somebody else's purpose.
When you're in somebody else's purpose,
you're in fear and you're in pain
and you're in scarcity.
When you're in that state of mind,
you're not gonna care about how you eat.
You're not gonna care about how you treat other people.
You're not gonna care about all of those things. How could you?
It's impossible to
'cause you're in a state of lack.
When you're in a state of lack
and there's scarcity in that mindset,
there's a poverty conscious.
You're basically setting yourself up for failure 24/7.
And that's the fastest way to premature age.
That's the fastest way of harvesting some type of dis-ease.
We know that. We know that as a fact now.
That's scientifically been proven.
The fears that we take on in our lives
are what will impact
and negatively accelerate the aging process.
I mean, this is why we have things like crow's feet.
This is why we have wrinkle lines, right?
Because the more scrunched our face becomes,
the more we get all these signs of aging.
Getting rid of fear, as Alexander the Great said,
makes you immortal.
[music playing]
Winning my first show at 55...
...just makes you want to push harder.
Jeff: Definitely motivates me
to be my best version of myself.
Jerry: Yeah, I guess he inspired me.
- Tough to admit, huh? - Yeah.
Well, I started working out when I was 12 years old.
Like I was saying earlier, my dad got me kind of involved into it.
From there, I first initially started for sports.
Within about six months, I had a very big transformation in physique,
and I fell in love with it after that.
So it turned into a passion of mine.
It evolved from the sport aspect
of having athletic advantage over my competition
to it turning into a lifestyle of mine.
From there, it just evolved to competing.
I became the youngest IFBB professional
at 19 years old. It was two days after my 19th birthday.
My dad was there with me. I remember flying over there,
and it was at Junior Nationals--
good, very good event and show.
And from there it just really exploded.
Did my first YouTube video when I was in high school.
Started dealing with social media
and all that, and it's exploded.
Now I have 3.8 million followers on Instagram,
1.2 million subscribers on YouTube,
over 2 million on Facebook,
and it's continuing to grow.
I remember when I wasn't in good shape,
and come home from work,
and I'd immediately plop down on the couch.
If I didn't work out anymore, I know I'd be tired,
and just be sitting on the couch again,
and I'd probably be drinking beer again, you know.
It's definitely not the road I want to go down again.
I'm happy where I'm at right now.
This is a lifestyle I'll-- that I'll--
for the rest of my life.
[music playing]
When I'm in the zone, lifting weights,
you know, sometimes I feel 30.
You know, especially when you've got the music going,
you've got that pump going.
It's euphoric.
It's a lifestyle change.
You know, before,
it was just me going to the gym
a couple days a week,
and now it's kind of taken over my life.
Jeff: Yeah, because before, with training and everything,
he wasn't as committed.
You know, he would go to the gym,
kind of go through the motions,
but it was just like, he'd go to the gym for an hour,
then come back home, then he's out of it.
But now it's a full lifestyle thing.
So he goes to the gym, he comes back,
he's got his protein shake ready to go,
he's got his meals planned out.
His sleeping schedule's on point,
everything's on point.
So, like my dad was saying,
it's a full lifestyle change now.
[music playing]
You know, I just stuck to my diet and I didn't cheat--
'cause that's the number one killer right there, is cheating on your diet--
and then you gotta hit all your workouts
and all your cardio sessions.
I mean, every one of them makes a difference.
It's persistency.
You know, you see all these bodybuilders and stuff,
they didn't get that way overnight.
It's years of training, and training every single day.
That's how they get there.
That's how people can get there.
Gregg Avedon: Everybody has the opportunity
to live their best life
and to be as healthy as they can in an easy way.
It's just, you know, you have to do it.
If it was easy, then everybody'd be walking around looking great,
being jacked, being lean, and that's just not the case.
[music playing]
One of the things that I really believe in,
and I think that people don't give enough credit to
is just getting out in nature and walking.
It's so simple.
Everybody possess the ability to get outside in nature.
And especially if you have the ability to walk,
you certainly should walk.
Um, I don't get outside with the idea
that I want to do exercise.
That is the wrong attitude.
The attitude is, get outside and walk,
and I've taken moments where I'll do a walk and just say,
"Anything that I see or think about, I give gratitude to."
It's just about giving gratitude. A gratitude walk.
So what you're doing is you're inspiring to things around you.
Everything that you see, it's inspiring to you.
It's coming into you, and what happens
is you leave a trail of all this garbage,
all this crap that's on your mind,
and all of a sudden, you start to feel really free and open.
Because that's what walking does.
It allows you to be faced with newness,
and it allows you to let go of a bunch of stuff that you don't need.
I mean, I find that people, over their lifetime,
they hold on to more and more and more garbage,
and then we spend the second half of our lives
trying to dump that giant backpack of garbage
that we've been carrying around with us.
And so walking, I find, is a great way to do it.
You know, you're just---
especially if you're out in nature
and you're just really enjoying it.
And, again, the byproduct is health.
I'm Evelyn Flaharty, I'm 65 years old,
and I'm addicted to health and fitness.
But it wasn't always this way.
Things started to change after I turned 50.
Never did the thought of lifting weights cross my mind.
During a routine physical,
I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
This so rocked me to my core that I decided
to make several significant changes in my life.
I now had a new sense of determination and motivation.
My health was my top priority.
For starters, I completely changed my diet,
and I learned a lot about nutrition.
Weight training was a huge challenge for me.
At first, I struggled.
I was just not used to this kind of physical activity.
The weights seemed heavy,
and the training regimen, at times, was overwhelming.
But I was committed to the process.
Training shoulders and back
are my favorite body parts to train.
In 2019,
I earned my IFBB pro card.
I was blessed to make my pro debut in 2020,
and was so proud to bring home a trophy
now as a professional athlete.
Today, I look at my scar and I feel blessed.
I am a survivor,
and this scar is my badge of courage.
Because of my cancer diagnosis,
today I am in the best physical condition of my life.
My name is Clark Bartram, and we're talking about
how people can really get more years out their life,
and more life out of their years.
I believe, in all honesty, that people sell themselves short
when it comes to health, after a certain age.
We buy into this thought of,
"I'm 50 now, so I can't do" fill-in-the-blank.
And for people, to me, that's a death sentence.
People are actually waking up to the fact that it is possible,
it's possible to change the way you look,
the way you feel, the way you function,
and the way you exist on this planet.
So, 50 is honestly not a death sentence,
it's an opportunity to live the rest of your life
in a different way
than you might have envisioned it
prior to those 50.
When people watch "Aging Evolution,"
I want them to be so inspired
that when they see the final credits going,
that their life is transformed, and they change that moment.
That is possible. It's absolutely possible.
And that's what "Aging Evolution" is all about.
This is not something for anyone to get famous,
this is for people to share this message of what we're living.
Like, we're living this,
and we're sitting here begging people on a film, going,
"Come on, you can live it. You can live it, too."
Your life is a sum total of the choices
you've made up until this point.
And I just want people to look at the choices
they made yesterday.
I'm Manny Khoshbin. I'm 50 years old.
I own several companies, including Khoshbin Companies,
a full-service real estate investment firm.
And I'm super busy.
On top of all that, I'm married with two kids,
which adds quite a bit of complexity to my life.
And managing my life is quite a challenge.
Prioritizing my day is probably my biggest challenge of my life.
I would have never achieved the success I have today
if it wasn't for working out every day.
I've been pretty consistently working out since I was 14.
There was probably a couple years in my life
where I didn't do a daily routine, but, in general...
Yeah, I mean, I got pictures from age 14
till this morning, I work out.
I came to USA at age 14, spoke zero English,
and didn't have any money, no connections,
and I was a pretty skinny boy.
So the first thing that I could improve was my body.
I bought two dumbbells from swap meet at age 14.
I think I paid $1.50 each, for each dumbbell,
and I wish I had kept those dumbbells.
I used those dumbbells every morning and every afternoon.
No matter what, there's no excuse,
I'll never miss a beat on my workout routine.
[music playing]
We live in America, we're a quick-fix society.
Everybody wants it and wants it now.
Minimal amount of work, maximum results.
Let's all get over that, and just change
our way of thinking, our approach,
our philosophy to fitness.
I think fitness can be super fun.
Commit with a friend. I still am old-school to paper.
I like to pencil in my weekly program
so I know what I'm doing.
So I think the first thing that everybody needs to do
is get in a routine.
Every day, wake up-- don't be afraid to wake up early
and exercise before work.
Well, the secret is, obviously, consistency.
And so how can I set that up to win?
I could train at 4:00 AM.
And, lucky enough that I started this
at a young age so it became a habit.
And it became part of my life, that 4:00 AM.
Waking up at 3:00 AM, get the workout at 4:00 AM,
there's nothing that can get in your way.
If you do it after work, what happens?
You get tired, you know,
work maybe runs late, you're not into it.
You can come up with a million excuses.
But if you do it at 4:00 in the morning,
you're waking up, you're eating, you're going.
I do exercise pretty much every day,
except for when I'm on planes the entire day.
And I do a practice of strength training as well.
Particularly, I do about 100 push-ups every morning.
And I-- if I haven't done it--
let's say I fall off, as we all do from time to time,
then I'll start back at 50,
and then I'll do 51 the next day,
and then 52 the next day, and then 53.
And every day is just a 1-percent-better type of thing.
So that kind of consistency definitely has an impact.
Life is such a beautiful and amazing gift.
I don't want to live it sitting in front of a TV,
spread out all over a couch.
If you don't have the time to go to a gym, an hour,
do something, move, and that is what I try to do.
But four days a week, I'm with a trainer.
And I'm really, really--
I'm real excited about being with him.
I'm real excited to get with him,
even though I know I'm gonna be sore as heck the next day.
But I know the results are gonna be awesome
because I have something to prove
for this 71st photo shoot--
that the human body will respond--
it will respond if we give it self-love and self-care.
I'm gonna prove that.
I think anyone that's two hours in the gym
is about an hour and 20 minutes too long in the gym.
Give you an example.
I walk into the gym, and I'll walk out about 20 minutes later.
And the kid at the front desk will say, "Are you done already?"
And I'm like, "Well, do I need to do anything else?"
And they're like, "Wow, that's kind of a cocky attitude."
But it's not. It's an understanding that our human body is so capable
of adapting to the demands that we place on it.
If you go in there and you work 20 minutes hard,
you get a little bit of weight lifting in,
you do a little bit of cardio, maybe some hip movements
or something like that, your body's gonna respond.
And it's gonna change. The problem is this--
People expect change too quickly.
We start a program.
Again, we're weighing it on somebody else's results
or some BS that we saw online that was just a marketing ploy.
And then we measure our results against what we see,
not against reality.
It took you 20 years to gain 50 pounds in some cases.
Why then would we get it off in two weeks, three weeks,
four weeks, even eight weeks, 12 weeks?
Man, a year is not that big of a deal.
So we have to understand that when we exercise, your body is changing.
The physical manifestation of it might not be showing up in the mirror
as quickly as we want it to, but it's happening.
Start small. Maybe it's just going for a ten minute walk.
I'm not asking you to go bench press 200 pounds.
Get started, that's my best advice.
And once you start seeing your body improve,
your mental health will get better.
You'll think sharper and your attitude will be more positive,
and that is addicting.
And that's gonna be your drug. Just get started.
So movement's important and we should do movements that are compound,
like multi-joint movements, to get the most out of our time in the gym.
More bang for your buck, if you will.
And do stuff, again, that's sustainable.
Movement-- exercise is defined as movement.
If we move more today than we did yesterday
in ways that we weren't moving yesterday, then it's exercise.
My advice would be don't wait. Start right away.
And there is never, never too late to start with your fitness journey.
Um, Many women get discouraged
when they realize how long it takes to get in shape
or to achieve their fitness goals.
Um, but I always tell them
think about fitness being part of your lifestyle.
This is not something that you do in just a few months,
achieve your goals, and you're free.
Fitness should be something you do all your life.
How often do you guys work out?
I work out-- I work out six days a week.
- You take a day off? - A lot of people say,
"Well, holy crap, how long do you stay at the--"
An hour to an hour an a half.
I think it's wisdom is what you call it.
You know, you get around our age and, yeah,
you don't have to go in and try to bench press 400 pounds.
- No. - To me, that's not the strongest guy in the gym.
The strongest guy in the gym is the guy over here doing multiple sets
of 10 pull-ups with a 45 pound weight hanging off of his neck.
- That guy, you know-- - Yeah, I didn't want to show off,
- so I just stopped it. - [laughs]
I've learned to do that.
I've learned to adjust. I guess, lower my standards.
But, you know, in the end I get the same results.
One of the main things I see to the end of this
is "Why do you put out the YouTube videos?"
- "I'm telling you my mistakes." - Yeah.
"What did I do wrong? I trained at 100% all the time to fatigued,
- every time when I was in my 20s." - Yeah.
- That's not the way to train. - No.
I get that you want to be a badass and say you're,
"I'm a man. I trained three hours."
- You're an idiot. - Yeah.
You've gotta be able to have that fitness
that allows you just to feel comfortable,
to just get you through your day.
You're not huffing and puffing.
You have energy and you have to have--
And that starts with not only just working out
and having an exercise regime,
which I try to do, but also your diet.
Let's go for a jog. You ready?
[music playing]
David: Majority of people get old and they give up.
They give into the pain in their joints.
They give into the-- "I got a hurt back. My back's hurt."
Before I started going to the gym,
I'd have to go in four times a year
and get corticosteroid shots in my lower back.
It was always hurting, going into spasms.
Within a year of going to the gym, I've never had that problem again.
Just strength in the back is what it needed,
flexing and the strength.
The trick has been to get more active when you get older not less active.
More active, go to the gym.
Start with ten pound dumbbells, that's what I did.
I was kind of embarrassed. When I first started going, I looked around
and saw all these strong people.
But you know, within about two months,
you can really see a difference.
Within six months, you can see a difference.
So within a year, it's a massive change.
It's been five years.
I don't look like the guy I was five years ago.
Not even close.
Man: So you hear "health is wealth,"
what do you have to say about that?
- I'm pretty goddamn rich if health is wealth. - [man laughing]
Health is everything.
I never believed, never thought
that at 66 I could feel this good.
You know, at 60 when I was overweight,
I thought, "Well this is how it ends.
This is how it just keeps going downhill further and further."
But it's not.
At 61-- I'm 6'5, I weighed 295.
I was probably 45% body fat.
In the worst shape of my life.
Felt like I was 161 years old.
So I started losing weight, running
Got it down to 215 pounds over about an 8-month period.
And then I hit the gym, I've been in the gym since.
It's been a steady incline.
My quality of life has been an incline.
It is not getting worse.
I'm probably in better shape now today at 66
than I was at 26.
And I wasn't in bad shape back then.
It's the "hitting the gym every morning."
Every morning, you have to.
An hour to an hour and a half.
And eating right.
If you asked me how would I feel now in my head?
I feel like I'm 25 years old.
My body seems to be looking like it's 25 years old, too.
Maybe 35.
But it's been a chore
but now it's sort of like a hobby.
- An addiction, let's say. - [eagle squawking]
Well, I can tell you this much if I didn't train what my mood would be.
It sneaks in, the anxiety sneaks in of going backwards.
I don't want to be that guy that I was at 60 or 61 any more.
At that time I felt horrible,
I felt old, I felt like my life was ending.
Today, I feel stronger and younger than I've ever felt in my life.
And it was all because of the gym.
Are you ready? Let's do it.
[music playing]
Chervin: We've heard the line, you are what you eat.
But more importantly, you are what you can absorb.
Now we're not designed to be eating supplements,
but I'll say it out loud, I'll say it on camera.
I'll say it clear, I'll say it every single day.
We're designed to be getting our nutrition from the food
that we grow and love and eat.
That's where we're supposed to be getting our vitamins,
our minerals, our biotics, our bacterias
all in the soil science.
I think sometimes we eat ourselves into bad health.
I think society doesn't understand that nutrition alone changes people.
We have so many different diets now, right?
What's the latest fad?
Keto, carnivore, vegan, vegetarian, pescetarian.
I don't know if there's really one diet that's the one size fits all.
It's really what your body responds to
and it may take some experimenting to see
whether or not your body is good for a vegan diet or a carnivore diet.
What I do know is a lot of people who do stick to routine
and stick to something that's strict like a carnivore diet,
they tend to see a lot of changes but I think that's with anything.
If you're strict with your diet in any way,
if you're strict with your routine
your exercise, your lifestyle,
things are going to be positive for you
and you're gonna notice the benefits of that.
It's just about eating clean foods
as close to their natural source as possible.
So eating clean proteins, you know.
Eating a lot of vegetables, fruits. They're okay.
People might think that they're not, but they're okay.
But, yeah, it's just having foods as close to their natural source as possible
and that also-- that includes grains,
rice, quinoa, things like that.
So we're talking about keeping it super simple
and cutting out as much as possible--
the dry simple carbs, stuff that comes from a box.
It's pretty simple, you know.
If you want to do dairy, do dairy.
If you want to cut out dairy, cut out dairy.
Try it, play with it, see how you feel.
I mean these are the things that it's kind of like the playground that you're in.
You know, you cut it out and all of a sudden, you feel better.
Or you feel, like, depleted.
So you say, well, you know what? I do better on dairy.
But it really is the simplicity of it all.
And then getting in the gym. It's just about being consistent.
Doing whatever you do, but being consistent.
If you could put those two components together,
nutrition and getting in the gym,
getting in the gym is easy, it's one hour.
Then it's other 23 hours of the nutrition
that's really kind of a test.
My diet consists of red meat twice a week.
The rest of it is salad with organic chicken.
Or sushi cut roll, sushi.
Like fish, wild salmon.
I try to stay healthy, 'cause you are what you eat.
How do you snap yourself out of wanting to indulge in the moment?
You know, eat that ice cream. Drink that beer.
You really in your head, when you want that ice cream,
you're thinking about how good it's gonna taste.
You've trapped yourself in that moment.
And that's why it's so hard to resist the temptation.
You've mentally put yourself in that moment.
How do I get out of that? I think about the moment afterwards.
I think about how I feel, how sluggish I feel
after I've indulged in something that tastes really good.
But either digesting it or because of what it is, like sugar,
is gonna tap my energy and drain me.
And I think about how sluggish I'm gonna feel afterwards.
Or with the sugar low or the carb low,
how depressed it's gonna end up making me when I feel sluggish.
And so really if vision drives decision,
all I gotta do is change the moment that I'm focused on,
based on the ice cream or the beer or the pizza,
to the one of sluggishness as a result,
and that's how I keep myself from eating or consuming
or drinking whatever it is is actually gonna drag me down.
I eat pretty freely 'cause I eat a Mediterranean diet.
Spice, heat, herbs, lean proteins, high fat.
But things that I don't put in my body is sugar and processed foods.
And when you don't put sugar in your body,
and it's hard to be keto and to be ultra disciplined,
'cause we're living, you know, food is such a social part.
But when you don't put sugar into your body,
your goes into a different burn zone.
And it really works.
You're eating too much cheese. You're eating too much bread.
You're eating too much animal flesh.
And you never have any veggies.
That'll clog you.
Oh! That will make you miserable.
I've been a really strict vegetarian for 30--
actually 36 years, yeah, and then--
and again, like, eight years ago,
I just knocked out all of dairy and stuff like that.
And this is just a personal thing for me,
but also, you know, I feel actually amazing.
Being healthy is different than eating right.
Eating healthy is the guy that's having the protein
and the vegetables and staying away from food.
That's not-- that's not right, though.
Right is feeding your body for what you need.
And continuously making sure you change it,
so the body doesn't adapt to it.
I think I'm pretty good with regard to substituting
when it comes to weight for example.
It's late at night and you want that bowl of ice cream
you want that bowl of cereal, that cookie, what have you.
Some protein bars, you could probably do.
A lot of them still have a lot of sugar,
What I will do in lieu of something like that
is maybe a casein protein shake, with some egg white.
Make it with egg whites, a little bit of water, no milk.
And then replace a lot of things with peanut butter.
I like to use the all natural peanut butter.
It's a pain, you have to stir it but it has one gram of sugar.
And you get used to it and you know.
I don't use the peanut butter as much because the amount of fat on there bothers me,
but it's a healthy fat and he's right.
It is a much better snack.
If you can stay out of it and not get too much.
Smaller portions and more frequent meals
six times a day with controlled portions,
and the controlled portions are the part of it that's not easy.
Especially if you're eating something that tastes good and you like.
But that's all part of it and it'll all help you
get lean, keep lean, and stay lean.
And you get used to it and there are ways you learn little tricks and things that--
to prepare things that make 'em pretty good.
Most diets aren't fancy.
- Most nutrition is not hard. - It's very simple.
Very simple and it's easy to do regardless if you're traveling
and business meetings throughout the day.
Or you're just-- it's a Sunday.
Yeah, I cook every two, three days.
I prepare food for two, three days.
And always have everything ready in a fridge.
Like chicken, salmon,
broccolis, sweet potatoes, rice.
You can store that for two, three days, with no problem.
And it's so easy because no matter how busy your life is,
you can always pack some food, take it with you.
And when you have everything ready, it's very convenient.
You know, if we go back to food,
food is the most powerful drug on planet Earth.
When you ingest something
it has a chemical response, a hormonal response,
and your body is getting nutrients
and it's either growing and getting better
or it's declining and getting worse.
That's really two ways to look at food.
Eat this or eat that. What are my options?
So if you're mind is set, you're gonna make the right choice.
And if you mess up, you're not gonna beat yourself up.
So I try and loop these things back and connect them to each other.
So not-- they're individual, but they're all connected.
In my refrigerator, you're gonna see--
you're always gonna see cooked chicken breast.
Some cooked turkey.
That's basically the meat that I'm gonna eat.
I might have fish here and there,
but I get complaints from the wife
that it stinks up the house, so that's kind of a no-no.
You know, if you came to my home
and you looked in my refrigerator,
you would definitely see juice.
Now I'ma start with the juice
because I always have juice.
Y'all gotta try this.
Cilantro, lemon or lime,
green apples and lots of ginger.
Yes! That is the best juice ever.
So you're gonna see juice
you will also see veggies,
you're gonna see cashews soaking.
I'm big on-- I love cashews.
You can do everything with cashew nuts.
It's not gonna be a lot of stuff,
but you will see those kind of things.
Definitely vegetables, definitely fruit.
And definitely my juice. Definitely.
With me, when it comes to food,
it is-- I'm a basic kind of guy.
I'm a carbohydrate, oatmeal, rice, bread.
When it comes to proteins, I am huge on steak, chicken.
If I'm getting leaner, then it would go to the fish, or,
now they have steak now that is fat free.
So it's-- so we can go to those kind of things.
If you change the way you look at things,
and you get your mind set,
then when you start your meal plan,
it's gonna be a lot easier to sustain.
'Cause that's the biggest thing when it comes to meals,
is people choose programs that are not sustainable.
They see their favorite celebrity,
they watch a TV show, or they saw somebody on a movie
that said, "I did the Hollywood diet."
So everyone buys that.
But if you can't sustain that program,
it's not gonna do you any good so that circles us back to mindset.
Fried eggs with coconut oil,
and I usually take out about three yolks.
So I'm getting lots of protein with very little yolk.
And I'll have one slice of homemade bread.
And that's my breakfast every single day.
TJ: I have egg whites every morning
with slow cooked oats.
Little bit of cinnamon Stevia.
And that's how I kick off my day.
Every now and then I'll add some chia seeds
for the additional fiber on top of my cereal.
So I always have frozen organic blueberries for my smoothies
I always freeze organic bananas.
So those are kind of the two things in the freezer that you're gonna see.
My vegetable of choice is asparagus,
because it's also detoxifying and it's also a diuretic,
so it helps you relieve any fluids and bloating
and which also helps keep that thin skin.
So I eat a lot of asparagus as well.
And then I'll have some greens mixed in here and there.
On the counter again, I'll have the fruit.
Every kind of fruit under the sun.
In the fridge, I'll have vegetables,
every kind of vegetable under the sun.
I think that it's important to diversify
and learn how to cook different vegetables.
You have your main ones.
Your Brussels spouts, your broccoli, your asparagus,
your tomatoes, your onion, that kind of thing.
I do a lot of that and I always keep frozen vegetables.
Iris: I start with the lettuce
and then I have rough-ish chopped up broccoli
and carrots, all raw.
Like really shredded, and then I'll have a great big heaping of that.
A great big handful of almonds.
Roasted almonds. Dry roasted almonds.
Um, avocado. Dried fruit.
That gives it the nice fruity flavor. Dried fruits.
Know when your meal times are, and I don't give a shit what you're doing.
- Stop and hit that meal. - Yeah.
It doesn't take very long. Wolf it down.
- It might be cold, it might be shitty-- - Wolf it down.
- You have to take-- - But you gotta--
But I have found out, as I've gotten older, I have to eat more often.
- Absolutely. - That's how I feel it.
Yeah, controlled portions, more often out.
Four trips through Taco Bell.
And they always say don't eat late at night,
I always eat late at night but I eat good late at night.
- Right. - Your basic protein shake.
A plate full of almonds, maybe a bag of almonds.
Whatever. But for me I think it helps.
Maybe it's just all mental, but for me,
I think that it helps me metabolize at night.
And it also keeps me from being hungry.
And it's feeding my muscles while they're in a catabolic state.
- I try not to do that. I'll take an egg white... - It's so important to do that.
...shake at night-- the egg white casein shake for me at night.
That's exactly what I do.
But do you track what you eat
or you just have a normal diet and you've done it so long?
I'd eat meat very rarely.
Mostly fish, chicken, vegetables.
I don't eat any, uh, thing with saturated fats,
greased up-- mostly home cooking food,
like, for example, potato, pasta.
- Everything's natural with pasta. - Yeah, yeah.
You are what you eat, and that's why, for example,
when you eat so many fattening foods like fast food,
- you have a lot of cholesterol. - Right, right.
- Clog up the arteries. - Do you get your blood tested
so you know what your levels are?
My bloodwork is perfect. My blood pressure is 110/60.
- Oh, man. That's good. - Yeah.
I just had a physical recently, but everything is perfect.
- That's good. Good for you. - It's all how you take care of yourself.
- Yup. - 'Cause I want to be here for a long time.
- You and me both. - If you could just somehow
dial what you're doing back and simplify.
It's not about, well I love having this in my drink.
I like drinking these certain dri--
Just drink water. Very simple.
It's not hard, I mean, and it's healthy.
Purified, beautiful water.
You probably would not like my diet.
It's very bland, but it's what I like.
We don't eat out, my husband and I. We don't eat out.
If we do, we just make sure we have something small
or we might share a meal, but we like to cook at home.
I really don't go to restaurants.
I mean, I take that out of the equation,
Now if you have to go to a restaurant,
my rule of thumb, have a plate of salad.
with grilled chicken on top if you want to do the grilled chicken.
No dressing. Very simple.
You don't have to think. You don't have to wonder what am I gonna eat.
That's what you're gonna eat
and I know I can get away with that
just about at any restaurant, including McDonalds.
They have salads.
For dinner, always the same.
Always the same even if I have company. Never change.
It's a piece of protein, either a chicken or a fish or a meat.
And a great big salad with everything on it.
No potato. No vegetables.
Just a huge big salad full of everything.
For lunch, dinner, my mini meals in between,
I always have either chicken breast,
turkey breast, organic, or a lean fish.
Every day.
Over time, things that never bothered me that I ate before
- they start to bother you a little, right? - Man: Yeah. I agree with that.
You know, things that-- okay, I'll just drink some Pedialyte and I'll be fine.
I won't have a hangover. Well things are different now, right?
- Yeah. - Or if I eat certain things.
I react differently than I did when I was younger.
You know, it used to be, okay, we're indestructible.
Now you feel the difference when you eat something or you feel it if you don't.
You have some certain vitamins now.
I take magnesium because my legs shake all night after I worked out.
You know, I have restless legs. Magnesium takes care of it for me, right?
I'll take sodium potassium-- potassium chloride, that's what it is.
You know, 99 milligrams,
because if I don't have a chance to drink Gatorade
and if I've worked out the night before and I sweat a lot,
it compensates for my loss of electrolytes.
Once you get the nutrients, you don't have to eat a lot.
That's the key.
We over eat
and elimination is mandatory.
If you put it in, it needs to come out.
Taking moments of fasting, taking moments of prolonged not eating,
prolonged not putting your body through that difficult cycle of digestion.
We take for granted how much energy production comes from eating a big plate of food.
Standard Americans having three-course meals.
They're eating this big old meal and then from there,
they're throwing dessert on top of that.
Food combining is another important aspect.
How are we eating protein and fats
and then right behind that, eating sugars and stuff like that?
That's causing such a breakdown of the body's biochemistry,
and causing such a stress on all the organs.
So again, it's a philosophy. It's an awareness.
It's getting into your body and creating a harmonious flow.
I think everyone wants to feel good, right?
What's-- it's not rocket science.
Let's just do something that makes sense.
Intermittent fasting really allows my body
to utilize and break down some fat.
And giving my gut a rest which is super important for me.
And it's easy. It sounds scary.
When you say the word "fast" people are like, "I can't do that!"
No, no, no. It's not about that. I'm never hungry.
And I eat a lot of fat, like a tremendous amount of fat.
And my output every day,
I'm grinding not only physically,
constantly choreographing content for my app.
But I'm just going, going, going.
Kids, life, work.
I have great energy, and I am not hungry.
I have a company ICON Meals.
No matter how busy you are, or how much I travel,
the meal is already sent to the hotel.
The meal's already there. And people are gonna go,
"Oh, okay. This has gotta be-- Well, you're rich.
It's an expensive thing." No it's not.
The way that society has changed so much,
there's no more of those excuses.
And I think a lot of people would go to the excuse--
"Well, I don't got time to cook. I don't got time to eat six meals a day."
It takes two minutes to eat four ounces of chicken.
- There is no excuse. - There's no excuse and you can always--
In this world, there is really no excuse,
because you have those prep meals
you can prep yourself.
It's just about discipline and really wanting to do it.
There is difference between wanting something
and actually doing it.
So if you combine these two things, you are already there.
Just keep it simple.
If you keep it simple, you get in the gym and you're consistent,
you don't have to beat yourself up.
You're not trying to out train a poor diet.
You're not trying to blast through a bunch of calories at the gym.
You just get in there and you do what you need to do.
You're specific in how you're training,
and at the end of the day when you go to the beach,
when you go on that cruise, when you step in front of the camera,
whatever it is, you look your best.
Because you're living your best life.
CT: My lunch time meal was famous.
Ordered four Big Macs, four fries,
a couple of shakes, and a couple of apple pies.
I did that for 20 years.
I did it so often that when I would go to the McDonalds,
it was close to the post office, they'd already have it
on the table just waiting and so.
I did pretty much everything you could to destroy your heart.
And then having a hereditary disease on top of that.
A transplant will do something to do.
It will give you a different way of thinking.
I never thought that I would live to be an old guy
when I was young, and I lived that way.
I didn't plan on being--
you know, I thought 50 was ancient when I was a kid.
So I never planned on making it to be 60 years old.
So I lived my life that way. I said--
I just-- you know, I just wanted to go up in a blaze.
I wanted to do-- everybody thought I was gonna do-- I was gonna do it.
Just-- in a blaze. Blaze of glory as I call it.
All about being healthy now.
Before when I was a power lifter,
asking me to go walk to my car was something that was a strain
or tying up my shoes was a strain.
But you didn't care-- I didn't care,
because the only thing that mattered was how much I could bench press,
or being the biggest or the strongest,
or the Sidewalk Kraka, the Superman from Compton.
That's the only thing that mattered.
But after you have a transplant,
I tell you what, your eyes opened. Everything changed.
It's, "Oh, CT. Now you don't eat meat. You're plant-based.
And you were the guy who ate all the Big Macs and now you plant-based.
You just jumping on the bandwagon." Hell no!
The reason I'm doing it is because I'm trying
to stand ground here for long as possible.
I like being alive.
I like seeing my grandkids. Great grandkids.
I like being here, so I'm trying to stay around as long as possible.
So now I'm plant-based.
Even have a plant-based supplement company I'm part-owner of.
So everything has changed. Plant-based big time.
Healthy, healthy, healthy.
[music playing]
Mindset. Why am I doing this?
Am I gonna see something tomorrow?
No.
But it's about getting up and doing it day in and day out,
knowing that in time, all of this adds up.
There's-- fitness for me is like such a huge picture.
And I do it more for this than for this.
Yeah, people say I'm too busy to work out.
Well, get up earlier. Yeah, there's no excuse.
Once you find out that working out is an absolute must for your life
and once you get convinced of that, you'll make time.
Every day, I'm up between 2:00 and 2:30.
Because if I'm going in to the restaurant to prep,
I'm there at 4, between 4:00 and 4:30.
But I gotta get a workout in.
So it's like either I'm gonna workout prior to going to the restaurant,
or I'm gonna work out after.
So I try to get in and out, so I can get the workout done.
And that's another thing about my age.
Movement. Movement is mandatory.
You cannot stop moving.
We were not created to just sit.
So I do honestly believe that sometimes in life
there becomes this line of demarcation, if you will,
that we need to transform our identity.
Because we identified with "I'm the housewife that raised the kids."
Well, the kids are gone and out of the house.
What do you identify with now?
You're not that housewife anymore who's raising Johnny and Sally.
They've left. They're on their own.
They're raising their own.
Now that is their identity.
What will be your new one?
You're the man who built the business
and took care of the family-- whatever the situation is.
But that changes over time. I had to do it.
I had to change my identity.
I was Clark Bartram the bodybuilder. Then that ended.
So I quit identifying with bodybuilding.
I don't even talk about that anymore.
That's not a part of my identity.
Now I've transformed into-- I am Clark Bartram.
I help men over 50 live in their healthiest body. How do I do that?
Mindset, meals, movement, community, supplementation.
That's my identity.
That's what I wake up to every single day
with being the first thing on my mind.
So what people need to do is identify with the new version of who they are.
And then set the boundaries and the expectations
for what you're going to do today
to fulfill that new person that you've become.
Because if you're not changing and rearranging,
and doing something different today than you did yesterday,
you are gonna get stuck in the same place
and you're gonna be wondering why.
Can I lose this weight? Why do I feel old?
Why's that guy so energetic and I'm not?
Why can't I do this?
Because you haven't identified who you are now.
And it's a beautiful thing.
Anita, my wife was raising butterflies here, the other day.
And she was fascinated by them going from the cocoon
to the butterfly stage and it happens like this.
If you're not sitting there watching it,
if you literally turn your head for one second,
you turn back, that cocoon can become a butterfly that quickly.
Every single time she missed that thing coming out
and she was so bummed out.
But I was fascinated by that process.
And it's not just for the caterpillar and butterfly only.
It's more for the human.
And if you're not careful
and you're not aware of what's going on in your life,
you're gonna miss that transformation
and the opportunity to grab onto that new thing and fly.
And be colorful and beautiful and new.
And have people go, "Whoa. She's different.
There's something about her that's changed.
I can't identify what it is. But she's different.
And you might not even know it, but it's that movement.
It's that understanding. It's that ebb and flow.
It's that constant observation of your life.
You've got this programming of subconscious, right?
Your subconscious mind is informing
based on your belief systems, your conditioning biases.
That this is what it's meant-- you're meant to look like when you're 55 years old.
This is what you're meant to look like when you're 60 and 70 and 75 years old.
But actually, if I go back in time,
and I look at pictures of my father when he was my age-- I'm 53.
He looks way older than I did today.
And it's not that I've had anything done
'cause I haven't had anything done.
I think that aging is at least 50% a mindset.
If you think you're old, you will be old.
If you think you can or you think you can't, you'll be right.
TJ: A big part of looking the way that I do
or even actually if you want to stay in your ultimate peak
year round, decade after decade
truly does start with the mindset.
It starts with a commitment to yourself
to refuse to just fall off.
I'm not gonna give up.
I refuse to give up.
It makes all the difference in the world.
The will-- the will-- I say it all the time,
even in the gym, outside the gym,
the will is so important.
You will not--
you can do a whole lot of things,
but you cannot out-will this old man.
That's impossible.
And this goes to many people when they get married,
and they hang it up because they feel like, "Ah, you know what?
I don't really need to pay attention
to the way I look anymore because I'm married.
I'm in. I'm done."
But the truth is it's not about the way you look,
it's about the way you feel on a daily basis,
and it's about optimizing your health
when you're doing it the right way.
Now you can certainly look healthy and shredded
but do things that are very bad for you to look that way,
and that's horrible.
That's not what I'm talking about.
But by taking care of yourself
and eating the right things, training the right way,
thinking about longevity,
having the mental mindset of refusing to regress,
refusing to get old,
refusing to just simply accept aging
to me is the key
to maximizing your potential in life and your health.
Change your mindset from leverage to influence.
How can you have the best influence?
And your inner voice betrays your outer voice.
So when you're talking to people,
if you're exasperated with them, if you're annoyed with them,
if you can't believe that they won't change,
that's gonna come out in your voice
because your inner voice is gonna be exasperated and annoyed.
If you can't believe they won't change inside,
you think they're stupid, that's gonna come out in your voice.
That is really gonna work against you.
The flipside is if you say things
out of love, concern...
[compassionately] "Don't you want to lose weight?"
Versus...
[dismissively] "Don't you want to lose weight?"
I mean, the first one I was on your side.
I care about you. I love you.
The second one, my tone of voice said,
"Don't you want to lose weight, you idiot?"
You know, people feel the "you idiot" part
without it you saying it,
because your inner voice betrays your outer voice.
So if you talk to people in any other mindset
other than love and caring and nurturing
and wanting them to feel it,
you're actually defeating your own purpose.
But if you can train yourself
to get in the right frame of mind,
well you'll be amazed.
You'll take yourself places you never thought you could be.
Well, my perspective on staying in shape
for the rest of my life is, "I want to be in good enough shape
so I can play with my grandkids, you know?
So I can coach my grandkids."
That's basically why I'm trying
to get in good shape right now, you know?
'Cause I want to be able to function when I'm older.
And I also think he kind of has an example to set.
So when I have kids,
I want my kids to look up to their grandpa
and see a grandpa that's in good shape.
Someone that, he can still run, he can wrestle around.
And I also think it's more fair to the kids as well.
I mean, when some guy has kids
when he's in his 60s or something
and then by the time he's 75 the kids are like 15,
he can't wrestle around with his dad that much
if he's not in good shape.
But I mean, hey, if he's in good shape, yeah, of course
they can wrestle around, they can have a good time,
and he sets a good example for the kid as well.
"Do it with passion or don't do it at all."
That's my motto.
Every time you pick up that weight or cable
or a stomach ab, every time, set your mind first.
Tell your mind what you're doing.
You're going, "Oh, I'm gonna do 100 abs."
And I always follow it with, "By golly, you better do it."
I say this to myself. No one else knows I'm saying it.
So you should do the same.
Gregg: When you have that inner peace
because you feel and you look your best,
then you start to treat people differently.
I mean, whether you understand that or not,
it's like, the way you treat your family, your spouse,
your colleagues at work,
just people in general
because it's based on how you feel personally.
The good news is as you get older at a certain age,
if you retire, you have that time.
You have that time whether it's painting,
whether it's walking, whether it's running,
whether it's participating in Masters competitions,
working out, whatever it may be,
you know, it's fun to be the old guy or lady in the gym
that kicks the young dude's asses, you know?
- Man: Yes. - And just blows them away.
You know, because what you lose may be in jumping ability
you pick up in smarts.
Most people obviously don't take care of themselves
well enough because life happens.
They get busy, and there's other priorities
and they have children and they have families
and they take a back seat to all that.
But it's kind of like when you're on the airplane
and they tell you, "Oxygen masks drop,
strap yours on first then help your child
because look, if you die, who's gonna help your child?"
You've gotta take care of yourself
so you can take care of others,
so you can be around for your kids
and your grandkids and your great grandkids.
And I'm talking just about just surviving.
I'm talking about thriving.
'Cause there's nothing about surviving to 120
that appeals to me if I'm dragging myself
through crap every day just to get out of bed.
To me, I want to kick out of bed like Jackie Chan,
like, "I'm here, man, and I'm ready to kick the hell
out of whatever's being thrown at me today."
And so I want to live to 120 kicking like karate till I die
and that's been my mindset for as long as I can remember.
And so I live my life according to that.
For me, I get all my energy through fitness, health, and wellness,
and I come at that with proper sleep,
things that I do to just balance stress,
and balance is a funky word.
I don't really believe in balance.
I believe more in managing the madness and chaos
of whatever life is dishing out.
But, yeah.
I mean I think we have to eat well.
We have to eat to feed or fuel our body for energy.
I think we work out most people for vanity.
I think we have to work out for energy,
for metabolism, for muscle mass, for bone density,
for all of that, and I think we need to sleep.
I think sleep is really, really underrated.
I need my Zs for sure.
So for my mental health, a lot of things that I do
is really putting that phone away
for a certain amount of period every day.
Whether it's 30 minutes or an hour,
I guarantee a lot of people couldn't even do that.
I mean, how many texts and emails and social media DMs
do we get a day?
I mean, all that is stress to you,
so it's good to kind of disassociate from that
and take a break from it for a bit
and just let your mind relax for a bit.
Listen to some music, listen to a podcast,
but get away from the screen.
So many people are caught up in the program of today.
They're under the influence of the spell,
and the spell is the mainstream media
the mainstream news, all the pain and travesties
that are happening around the world.
And I understand that you want to be caught up.
You want to feel like you're part of the situation that's unfolding,
but ultimately that stuff's robbing you of your life.
You're getting so caught up into the turmoil
there's no way that you can manufacture happiness within you.
And when you're caught up in so much pain,
so much frustration, you take that on, you take that on,
and you use other addictions to cope with it,
and those addictions most of the time
aren't running two miles a day
getting into a new yoga class,
being inspired to drink cleaner water,
being inspired to eat better food,
starting a meditation practice.
All of those things are available for you today,
but you've gotta remove the influences
that are causing pain and frustration from within.
Ask yourself, look yourself in the mirror and say,
"Is what I'm doing working for me?
Are the patterns that I've created in my life
working for me?
Am I operating with my own guidance
or is something else driving me every single day?
Is it pain? Is it fear?
Is it a scarcity mentality?"
When the number 70, I never--
I don't know what 70 is supposed to feel like,
you know what I mean?
So I transitioned at age 40.
I don't feel any older than that,
and that's truly the way that I feel.
And so I think what has happened to me
is I've just lived my life like that.
I don't concern myself with,
"Oh, God. I'm getting older. I'm not gonna..."
No, I'm getting better. I'm getting better.
I'm smarter, I'm wiser, I'm stronger,
I'm more clear, you know?
I've been through so much in my life,
and I've walked in so many different shoes.
My heart is enormous
because if you come to me with an issue,
I probably already experienced it.
So in terms of the number,
because of the number of years I've been here,
I've been through so much and experienced so much,
that, too, is a gift.
Thank God for the number. It's 70 years.
I think you have to ask yourself questions--
What fulfills me?
What makes me smile?
What brings me peace?
How do I feel at night when I shut the lights out
and I'm laying in my bed.
Doesn't matter where I am.
Doesn't matter how much money you have.
Doesn't matter where you live.
It's not be geography. It's not about economy.
When I'm laying there in bed at night,
how do I feel? Do I have a sense of peace?
And if I don't, this is what I would tell people.
If you're not feeling that,
then you gotta figure out how to get that.
I don't think we were created
not to be of some kind of service to the whole.
We all have our place,
and I just think that people get older
because they don't feel good anymore,
and they just give up, and they feel like,
"Well, I'm old now. This is the way it's gonna be.
I'm taking 15 drugs a day, and you know, but I gotta have my meat,
and all that exercise right there's bad for my knees.
I'll walk around the block a couple of times
with my girlfriend and have a chat.
But that's about it for the day."
No! Life is more than that.
This human body is incredible, incredible!
[music playing]
So, look, things we can do are hormone therapy
or bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for women,
testosterone replacement therapy for men,
peptides, growth hormone therapy.
Not actual HGH, but peptides
to increase your body's natural production of it.
Weight loss with a lot of the new peptides
and medications that we use to help people lose weight
more naturally versus giving them a stimulant to lose it.
PRP, or platelet rich plasma, where we take your own blood
and we inject it into certain areas
to help renew that area and rejuvenate it,
whether it's your hair, your skin, joints.
It really helps you heal in a positive way naturally
without having to take a bunch of medications.
Changing our viewpoint on our aging
and our attitude toward aging
is probably the most powerful thing you can do
to actually arrest your aging process
and then combine that with other things
that will build up your belief systems around that even more
whether they're PRP or whether they're stem cell injections
or whether they're new pharmocologics
or new light-based and sound-based technologies,
transverse scalar waves approaches to be able
to titrate your genes and their expressions.
I think that it really is about living our expectations more than anything else.
I really find Evie's story so inspiring,
the way she beat cancer and what she overcame.
And she got her pro card at the age of 65.
She just keeps killing it and growing
and doesn't stop.
I did have to overcome a lot of things in my life,
so it's never been easy for me.
At a young age, I was bullied for my weight.
I was, back in high school,
I was around 160, 170.
And I could've been the type of person to be like, you know what?
I'm not-- I'm nobody. I'm not gonna make it.
You know, right? And I could've just moped around
and continued living in that negative hole in my life.
But instead I used that to fuel myself,
and I told myself, one day I want to change.
I want to look different. I want to feel different.
And from there, I got into fitness
started researching, started going to the gym,
started eating right.
Going through something so negative in my life.
I took that negativity.
I used it as fuel to overcome
everything and just keep going
and make this person that's here today.
Studies shows that taking a cold shower in the morning
raises your testosterone levels
or even gives you a boost in the morning,
gives you in a better-- just energy levels in general.
There are foods that you can eat to boost up your metabolism.
There are food that you can eat that is basically gonna help you
with fat burning like lemon, ginger, cayenne pepper.
If you include those in your diet,
which doesn't take much,
you know, they're not so expensive,
or it doesn't take two hours for you to go find ginger
or those things,
to boost your metabolism
and to kind of eat those things
to give you an advantage of losing weight.
So basically what I do
is I treat my body as if it's a train.
So I feed it every two to three hours
with well-balanced meals,
usually meals that come from the ground.
Sourced, not processed foods.
Like sweet potatoes,
things are grown from the ground.
And I eat those things every two, three hours
so that way I'm feeding my body.
That way I'm increasing my metabolism,
and I'm burning more calories. So that's how I do it.
My name is Veronica Perasso, and I'm from Venezuela.
The exercise I most enjoy is biking,
so that's the one I'm more consistent.
It's the one makes me feel the happiest in life,
and I just ride the bike
until I feel like I'm not stressed anymore.
I can just relax.
I love fruits.
Since I was a little girl,
I always preferred to eat fruits.
I never liked eating sugar
and stuff like that.
So water, fruits,
that's my little secret for skin.
Gonna take you to my garage where I'm building
this kind of funky, weird, biohacking space.
So everybody has weird things in their life.
I'm gonna show you mine.
I'm always trying new stuff
because there's a lot of BS out there.
Then when you find things that help you feel better,
that kind of proof is in the pudding.
This little guy right here, this power plate, unbelievable.
So this is all about raising your vibrations,
and you stand on here.
You could do ten squats and it's like doing 50 squats.
You could stretch. It helps open everything up.
It actually vibrates your body.
This thing right here is amazing.
This baby right here. Oh, my goodness.
Are you ready for this?
So this spaceship, [laughs]
this is called CVAC,
and basically it's not a compression chamber.
It's basically about altitude, pressure, and temperature.
I get in here for 20 minutes every few days.
I close it up, I set myself up, and I just breathe.
And this is like major longevity, optimal in cellular repair.
Is that crazy? It's so good.
So I do all these things for inflammation, for cellular repair.
For more energy for my muscles, bones.
Like all of it. This.
Let's look in here.
[laughs]
This is my infrared sauna.
So I come in here, I get my work done.
I sweat it out. I get a really deep heat from within.
Totally love this.
I'm not pushing anything. These are all real things that I do.
I take Tru Niagen every single day.
If you're gonna take one supplement, that's probably it.
It helps your body produce natural NAD.
I also check out of my world for maybe 20 minutes,
30 if I'm lucky.
And I'll do this-- it's called NuCalm.
So it's an audio experience that's connected to a little bio sticker.
It sounds so strange, but it's a journey through music.
And it helps you sort of checkout and just shut down.
I have an infrared sauna from Clearlight.
Infrared's powerful.
It's using infrared technology to heat the body from the core
which causes the body to open up the lymph system
and causes all the toxins and all different kinds of crap
that we're bringing into our bodies every single day to push out.
It's one of my favorites.
This is kind of like going on a 2-mile jog.
Except no wear and tear on the joints.
Infrared is so key for removing layers and layers of toxins,
and to get the lymph system to start pushing.
Remember, our heart pumps and it pumps nutrients.
Our lymph which is detoxifying our body,
doesn't have a heart, so we need mechanisms like this.
Exercise. Infrared.
So it's not like the old saunas where it's just hot, hot, hot
and then eventually you start sweating.
It's using infrared lights that penetrate the skin.
Then it starts to get a little bit warm in there,
and then the body starts to expel so many toxins.
This is one of the best meditation forms that I have access to.
And I do at a minimum Epson salt baths.
Yoga. All that stuff really helps.
When you figure out how to manage the stress, how to downplay the grind,
you know, that energy that we output during the day and shut it down.
I think that helps you with the overall performance
and memory, energy, the overall sharpness,
you know that life like mine really demands.
Chervin: You know, for me having your own sanctuary is ideal.
And you could have your sanctuary.
It could be a 1,000 square foot apartment,
It could be a 20,000 square foot home.
Doesn't matter, you could still find a way
of developing practices and rituals within your home.
Hey, I'm not perfect.
But the amount of load I carry and I try to succeed
on every business I open comes a lot of stress.
And I do have a cigar smoking habit.
I smoke one cigar a day. And I tell my wife.
She doesn't hate-- she doesn't like me smoking,
but I tell my wife, hey, it's better than a stroke.
You know, stress is the number one killer.
I rather have that cigar.
It makes me relax
and kind of reset my mind,
and get ready for the next day.
Well I do inversion tables.
So it's really important to get your feet above your heart.
Inverting is one of the most powerful forms of meditation.
It's one of the most powerful forms of detoxification.
We're always standing straight up.
Or sitting down. What happens if we go the opposite?
Well, a lot of good things happen.
Also it strengthens the spine,
it pushes the spine to decompress.
Very, very powerful. It gets blood into the brain where we need it.
It's stimulates the glymphatic system
which is the lymph nodes in the brain.
Very, very, important.
A lot of people ask me about cellulite.
And the damn shame is that cellulite is a real thing.
It's life. Some of it's genetic.
And there are so many tips and tricks and lotions and potions.
I'm not really subscribing to any of that.
What I do believe in is sweat.
I believe in body massage.
I believe in vibrations, like plate fit,
for example, that kind of shake everything up.
But I think that if you can achieve your optimal body weight,
if you can have a healthy balance between muscle density and body fat,
you are going to look your best.
And all of the things that we do to sort of flush our system
and build muscle gives the overall skin a better look.
So that's that. A lot of people talk to me about belly fat.
And I've had four kids, and I've been pregnant all my life.
It's a real thing.
It's cardio. Cardio, cardio, cardio.
And intermittent fasting is proven to blast belly fat.
It's just a fact. Don't be scared of it.
It's super simple once you can just get over it and give it a try.
There's so many forms of detoxification.
Moving your body detoxifies you.
As soon as your body starts to sweat,
you're detoxifying.
Infrared saunas, sprinting on the beach,
all of those things.
Ozone therapy directed to the blood.
Charcoals, we can do it all.
Juice fast. Binders. Fiber.
All of these things that push, push, push.
But the first and foremost place you want to start
is eliminate everything that's causing you toxic exposure.
And what do I mean by toxic exposure?
I mean your nutrition, your lifestyle,
your thoughts, your friends, your family.
All of those things can be keeping you from detoxifying.
Just think about it.
If you are under some type of attack.
Whether it's from food, poisons, toxins, or just weird energy
in your scope or in your sphere of influence,
it's gonna enable your body's immune system
to fight and push out what it needs to push out.
And that's what detoxification is.
We're all riddled in parasites.
Heavy metals. It's all over the place.
We're breathing toxic fumes in.
All of these things start to build up.
And if we're keeping our self
in a state of fear, pain, frustration,
then your body will not be able to do its job
because it's in stress.
We now know that stress is the number one cause of disease.
But did we really factor that in?
Stress, why it leads to diseases,
is because it doesn't allow your immune system
to target things and push things out.
And it's such a fascinating circle
that goes back and forth, back and forth.
So for me, the number one way to detox
is to get sovereignty back into your life.
Eliminate all things that you know inherently,
and you know what's wrong with--
You know, you know what I mean?
So just find out exactly
what's causing those stresses and remove them.
I'm never gonna be one of those people that says,
"Hey, I look good for 20." "I look good for 30." "I look good for 40."
That's just removed.
It is my belief on what I want to be
or what I want to look like.
I consistently say this over and over again
that I am youthful.
And the point about life
is being as youthful as you can
as long as you can.
That's life.
That's really what you want to be is that person
that is inside that's happy, joyful, and loving life.
Greetings, everybody, my name is David Avocado Wolfe.
I'm a nutritionist specializing in longevity,
anti-aging, and having the best day ever.
My main goal over the last ten years
running 16 longevity conferences
was to focus on nutrition and anti-aging.
But I'm an absolute fan of nootropics,
and I want to tell you about my favorite.
I have been researching nootropics for 20 years
and certain ones have made it to the top of the list.
And of course, the big one today is cannabidiol.
CBD is a big one.
I have seen it perform miracles in autistic children
immediately right in front of my eyes.
I'm absolutely sold on the power to protect the nervous system
of this particular nootropic,
which is from the hemp plant or cannabis plant.
And that one in combination with others can be very effective.
I want to tell you about some of the combinations
that I've been working with.
There's another one, that's a standalone like CBD
that's maybe the most powerful
single epigenetic nootropic ever discovered
which is xanthohumol.
That's a great one to look up on the internet.
X-A-N-T-H-O-H-U-M-O-L.
And somebody got smart because they realized
there are incredible nootropics that are coming from the cannabis plant.
CBD being the big one.
There's also an incredible one
and a grouping of them found in grapes
which is resveratrol and the associated phenols.
And they're epigenetic power to rejuvenate cells
and protect cells from viral takeover for example.
Right in between those two plants,
right between the cannabis plant and the grape plant,
is the hops plant.
And hops has three very interesting alkaloids.
The most important in my opinion is xanthohumol.
Xanthohumol is not a xenoestrogen.
It's not a phytoestrogen.
It's actually kind of a standalone chalcone
is the actual chemical category that it falls in.
Probably and very likely the single most powerful epigenetic substance ever found.
Now what do I mean by that?
Epigenetics is the ability to turn on genes
that are favorable towards health and healing.
And xanthohumol pretty much hits every single category
of health in every organ system in the body.
From the skin to the brain to the eyes to the liver
to the heart to the muscular system all--
to the kidneys and the list goes on.
And in fact, has some of the most favorable press
of any single chemical isolated from nature ever.
So personally, every single day I get my xanthohumol.
No mercy on those that don't go and try to improve themselves.
That's really the line and that's the concept
is because what's gonna happen is you just gonna be some of these elderly people
who let it go because they felt emotionally
that they couldn't get any better.
And that's the key, you know.
The bottom line is I don't feel much different than I was when I was 50.
And I'm not a die-hard weight lifter.
The more you work out, I find that you might be tired after the workout
but all day long, you've got more energy.
You've got energy on the days that you're off working out,
that you're not working out, let's say Tuesday and Thursday for me.
My energy is right up there.
The true source of happiness comes from you setting a goal
and you accomplish it, you crushing that goal.
That's the mindset of a champion.
I mean Arnold Schwarzenegger for example.
Thinking about visualizing.
When you visualize, you're tapping into the subconscious mind
which is where the vast amounts
of potential lies dormant in a human being.
Our frontal cortex is really a problem solving
kind of crisis management ego-based mentality.
It's very-- the bandwidth is very narrow.
But when you use concepts like visualization,
you're tapping into a greater bandwidth
of creative energetic potential.
And so using like Arnold would do
when he said he's training his biceps,
he's visualizing peaks of mountains like the Alps.
You could see how visualization manifested on his arms.
And created one of the greatest body builders that ever lived.
'Cause it's all about mind over matter.

So now that you have seen what we are truly capable of as human beings,
what are you going to do about it?
My guess is that you want to start taking action
on the daily diet and exercise practices
that you have witnessed in this film.
What do you have to lose?
You're going to be here until you die anyway.
Why not make the rest of your life
the best of your life?
I'm Chris Voss, thank you for watching.

Brooke: All of this stuff that's available for us.
Community, it's free.
Sunlight. Vitamin D. It's free.
Breath. It's free.
Movement. Sweat.
Sweat equity. It's hard.
But it's free.
And that shifts you into a better space.
[music continues]
Jeff: Fitness is for everyone, really.
It doesn't matter what age you are.
I think really that as years go on,
there's more knowledge out there
and the more knowledge that's available to people
the better shape everyone's gonna be in.
My motto has always been
be the best you can be wherever you are
and whatever you're doing.
[music continues]
Pete: Before we're 40, we think 40 is gonna be all right.
50 is gonna be old. 60 is gonna be old.
You hit 60 and you think, fuck, 50 was young.
- [laughing] - Yeah, right?
- Why did I think I was old? - Yeah.
40 was a baby. Why did I think I was old?
Robert: I see the future as being an open field for us.
And really, the only limit for humanity at this stage
is really the degree to which they persistently
or we persistently believe that we have a limit.
The leviathan of science is gonna continue its march forward.
I don't see that stopping any time soon.
Hell, I believe that in the next 100 to 200 years
we'll have people that essentially--
there's no reason why we would have to die at all.
