00:00We are being bombarded with disrupting chemicals.
00:03A lot of them, they're in our products.
00:05Okay, let's go to my kitchen. Come with me.
00:07So this is my fridge.
00:09So the first thing I notice is this, because that's like the worst.
00:11Can I get a bin bag?
00:14This is made from recycled electronics.
00:17What about this?
00:18This is a problem also.
00:21And this?
00:22Ding, ding, ding. This is great.
00:23I'm going to do utensils next.
00:24Heating it up, the plastic, it's getting into your food.
00:27What about a receipt?
00:28That's bad. It's covered with BPA.
00:31And a study in adolescent boys showed that it was associated
00:34with a 50% reduction in testosterone.
00:37And then this is one that people often miss.
00:40Dr. Rhonda Patrick, let's talk about something that I've never heard of before.
00:44Peak span. What the hell is peak span?
00:46So it's essentially being within 90% of your peak function.
00:51For example, muscle mass, bone density, that kind of peaks around 25 years old.
00:55And then they kind of steadily start to decline.
00:57You're joking.
00:58And the same goes for cognitive function.
01:00So I'm on the way down.
01:01Yeah. And I'm definitely on the way down.
01:03But we can do things in our life to help maintain that peak span.
01:06Like if you exercise five hours a week, do some high intensity interval training in there,
01:10and you can reverse heart aging by 20 years.
01:12And then sleep.
01:14Very, very important for preventing your immune system from aging rapidly.
01:18And then another thing that you can do that's really important for brain aging is
01:21And this is associated with a rapid decrease in Alzheimer's disease risk.
01:24But what I really want to talk about is intermittent fasting,
01:27using Alzheimer's supplements and being sedentary.
01:29So I want to talk about all of that.
01:31But we've got to talk about this in my hands at the moment.
01:33So if you have this, it's going to double your risk of early mortality.
01:37Double your risk?
01:38Okay, so talk me through this.
01:39I want as much detail as possible.
01:40I want as much detail as possible.
