00:02there is a whole industry exploding with the promise that we can halt the aging process from
00:09longevity clinics to drugs and supplements that would make me nervous something that's not fda
00:15approved for me i'm a little more of a risk taker and radical surgery in a couple of minutes we're
00:21going to take about 10 or 15 years off we're being sold on the dream that we can prolong our
00:27youth
00:28and extend our lives when you realize this aging process isn't inevitable i think that's the
00:33greatest achievement in the history of our species i have my children at 39 my first when i was 39
00:40like so many other couples we're having kids later so when ellie is 21 i will be 59 and when
00:48she's
00:48in her 30s i'll be hitting 70. i want to be around for their milestones i want to be around
00:54for the
00:54big events and i don't want to be a burden on them i don't want them to have to mind
00:58me
01:00i'm very close to getting an x there so i still need to get oh look little baby catherine working
01:05in tv there is a pressure never to show the signs of aging but with social media that pressure is
01:12now
01:12on all of us so i use exercise to try and maintain my health and hopefully boost my longevity
01:20ability but in this two-part series i'm meeting people who do more yeah okay it's gone under the
01:26knife but i just look like the way i used to look much more with gene therapy we literally would
01:34be
01:34able to take over people and regenerate them we hope all the way back down to age 25. so what
01:41can i
01:41learn from those people who believe that we can defeat the aging process can we really stay young
01:47forever i'm going to live until i'm 300. could we already be witnessing the death of aging
02:02it used to be that age was just a number but in our aging obsessed world age has become two
02:10numbers
02:11our chronological age the sum of our birthdays and our biological age a measure that claims to reveal
02:19how quickly our cells tissues and organs are declining
02:27at dublin's ageless longevity ultra runner dan and his sister elizabeth increase now in 10 seconds are
02:34riding the longevity boom offering biological age testing based on how well our hearts lungs and muscles
02:41are working
02:43and with my 47th birthday looming i was keen to discover how fast or slow my own body was aging
02:53the longevity business is exploding yes and it's just starting that wave is just starting in ireland now
02:59and you guys seem to have got in early yeah so what was your decision to set up ageless i
03:06just found
03:06that the longevity space was something that really really appealed to me because you're in control of
03:11it you know the majority of people 90 of people are very much in control of their own destiny of
03:16how
03:16well they're going to age so are you ready to hook me up yes we do it yes catherine we're
03:22now testing your vo2 max
03:24the gold standard for longevity prediction the reason that we test this is because on average
03:31your vo2 max will decline by 10 per decade you can easily improve your vo2 max score from today with
03:38all the data that you get and that will guarantee that you're giving yourself extra quality of years
03:43into the life you have whether that makes you live longer or not is yet to be seen but it
03:47does mean
03:48that you're guaranteeing extra quality in the years that you have
03:51you just tilt your head back and then if you just hold the mask there and i'll get this round
03:56so
03:56this stormtrooper-esque mask will measure my capacity to turn oxygen into energy the more efficient my
04:03oxygen use the lower my biological age and the lower my biological age the later i die
04:13well done catherine your vo2 is just touching into the 30s and we're going up to speed nine
04:17good going catherine deep breaths into that mask doing great
04:23the vo2 is touching into the 40s for the first time catherine doing great feeling okay good
04:30that's it deep breaths on that mask keep pushing now digging deep catherine digging deep
04:36three two one just hang on there yeah that's the mask on for a second
04:42take the mask on well done so was my current lifestyle buying me significant extra years
04:50or would i need to do more okay here is the results are you ready for this yes i am
04:55so we
04:55have a chronological age of 46 but the biological age is coming through as 37.8 so you hit into
05:02your
05:0330s you did very well fantastic yeah nothing for it but to crack open a bottle of wine today
05:09cranked up the bio age
05:14so my exercise regime may have bought me 10 extra years and i do still feel like i'm in my
05:2030s
05:24and maybe i'm pushing it but who doesn't want to look 10 years younger too
05:32hey shane how are you yeah good and you i've been getting botox injections since i was in my late
05:3830s
05:39though in the beginning i didn't admit to it at all okay i'm gonna do a little bit on the
05:46frown area so
05:47just keep your eyes closed i know it's not for everybody but twice a year i get botox strictly
05:53under the supervision of a licensed doctor it's a treatment that promises a mask of youth but how
05:59long before the masks start slipping so botox yes what how long has it been since i've been in
06:06it's nine months is it nine months it's nine months my forehead knows it's nine months left it a little
06:12too
06:12long because your skin is aging the muscles are aging so you're really better off kind of three
06:18times a year now yeah because i was twice a year yeah twice a year works for you know now
06:23i have to
06:24up my game yes okay yes and if i didn't up my game what might my future face look like
06:34this is i don't have to put my glasses put your glasses on so this is using the help of
06:42an ai engine
06:43to create images of what you could look like at different ages okay that's me at 55 yeah so this
06:51is me with no treatment yeah things are changing you can see that you have more lines around the eyes
06:56and around the the smile lines and the neck and the neck you can see the facial contour in terms
07:03of
07:03the lower part of the face is changing so that's 55 yeah i'm gonna scroll right scroll it up oh
07:11god
07:11okay so you can see there are more lines the skull and the bone is changing yeah so you're beginning
07:17to
07:18see some of the results of that change so this results in this kind of a drawn look i'm gonna
07:24scroll
07:24again keep going oh god now how do you feel about this i hope i had a happy life you
07:33have because
07:34you've got plenty of smile lines yeah look at the crow's feet these are deep which means that you've
07:39been smiling a lot yeah so that that to me that's somebody who's lived a very happy life so 75
07:45i have
07:46another one to go you have jesus i've just aged 50 years in five minutes so let's look at 85
07:52oh jesus
07:56wow let's talk about your hair because you can see i'm still really good with a ghd you're still
08:01very good with that but you can see there's thinning of your hair oh my god i didn't even think
08:05about
08:05my hair you can see that loss of youthful rubbery kind of elastic feel to the skin wow that is
08:14mind
08:14flowing i have old lady eyes i don't feel like that's me anymore but you know what canvas are we
08:22going to
08:22live in a world where we don't see old faces anymore like i'm feeding into the system of
08:30not aging gracefully like this lady has a good question so there are limits in terms of our biology
08:38and as much as you know there is a lot of work in terms of the longevity space
08:43and in terms of living longer and healthier i think we will still see older faces you do i think
08:50so
08:50hmm i hope so
08:54at 47 i definitely feel more conscious around aging
09:02but signs are that our aging anxiety is kicking in younger and younger
09:09look at all that extra skin is anyone else noticing that gen z is aging like milk
09:15your age and on social media beauties with 21st century birth certs fret about aging like milk
09:23i'm gonna need a facelift someday in a festive tullamore the baby fresh skin crowd are getting ready to party
09:33it's the big end of year teen kicks disco for the town's 13 year olds
09:39and i was gate crashing a getting ready party to gauge just how far our own gen alphas have fallen
09:46into
09:46the clutches of the anti-aging industry what do they do those eye patches i don't really know
09:55this looks like nail varnish is it not like serum niacinamide dewdrops now what does that do make your skin
10:04chewy i guess so so who owns that big case of stuff down there me that's yours that looks like
10:12more than
10:13moisturizer and face mist look at all of this stuff okay so this is a sheet mask bright and firm
10:20do you
10:21think you need to be more bright maybe no you don't you're fabulous the way you are
10:30hayley milla and stella were buying into a ritual that they didn't fully understand yet
10:38at the gravel arms hotel the team kicks disco was in full swing
10:43and the girls were arriving radiating youth there's no product that can really give you that
10:51in a calmer part of the hotel i was setting up my stall of anti-aging products to delve further
10:57into the habits of a demographic decades away from their first real wrinkle
11:04you like elf why use the elf i have you use the elf as well so good why do you
11:10have a skin care
11:10routine is it to look young as well or to stay looking young a little bit and is it so
11:17you don't get
11:17wrinkles yeah do you not think you have fabulous skin now that's because of your skin hair yeah yeah
11:28i think it like helps yeah so carissa if you stopped using the products what do you think might happen
11:35so i would think maybe my skin would get a little bit more dry and irritated okay i guess when
11:42you're
11:42using something for so long like i kind of need it they are hotline and sinker for the packaging
11:52for the colors i mean look at that this is like this is like sweets and for those skincare brands
12:00once you get them at 13 you've got them for life
12:08our aging interventions are starting younger and younger in ireland there are no legal restrictions
12:14preventing under 18s from accessing botox fillers or thread lifts just guidelines discouraging their use
12:21i'm really good how are you lovely to meet you guidelines that didn't stop hospital worker carl
12:27from embracing invasive anti-aging procedures at a shockingly young age i remember turning 16 i was
12:35like oh my god i'm like i'm getting older now you felt that at 16 i felt that at 16
12:41so then i found
12:43a clinic that i knew wouldn't ask for id so straight in needle in sorted did they make any comment
12:50to you
12:51at that point or can you remember so i remember sitting on the bed and they would point out things
12:56about me like they'd say oh your eyebrows drooping so you should go with threads it was like a metal
13:02kind of little rods that they fed through my eye and like it ripped out my scalp they've kind of
13:07had
13:07like this wire through kind of like fishing wire and they just pulled my whole face back and are the
13:12threads coming out the top of your head so this is how i was botched so they were supposed to
13:16dissolve
13:17up here so so you could stay like this but mine never dissolved so i could literally pull the thread
13:22and the eyebrow could like lift stop so bad have you got photos of that by any chance do you
13:28too
13:29and look how big my lips are i looked like a space rider i literally looked like an alien it
13:35was crazy
13:36what made you want to start that young like was it like looking at your friends i think it's kind
13:43of
13:43the gay scene i think there's like a bit of a basically the fear of age and more or less
13:47like
13:47you need to look young why do you need to look young because you don't want to be really old
13:52looking
13:54what are you doing on a monthly basis to keep yourself looking as young as you are so i get
14:02monthly
14:03vampire facials profilo which tightens the skin i got botox polynucleotides under my eyes and
14:10skin boosters basically so how much is that costing you a month about 1400 i'd say
14:19sorry what
14:21400 a month yeah i mean i want to look like this forever
14:27at 25 carl's cut back on his use of fillers but he's still getting regular botox injections
14:34hey guys how are you how you're doing it's lovely to meet you though he's now using clinics that have
14:41doctors trained and licensed to inject
14:47tell me when did you start getting botox six i think i was 17. i actually went to get my
14:53lips done
14:54it was at first and then they told me i get need botox and then i went back to check
14:58no it's still drooping
14:58so maybe like threads threads at 17. like these people should be arrested i can only imagine the
15:07person who injected you definitely i highly doubt was a medic um the fact that non-medics are injecting
15:14they don't know the long-term impact that this you know these things can have on you can go blind
15:20you know you can cause necrosis or death of tissue it's madness for the sake of the pocket you know
15:25sometimes if i wasn't a doctor i wouldn't touch anybody's face to be honest can i ask you durva
15:32do you get botox i do yeah i get botox yeah and what age are you i'm 30 um and
15:37when did you start i
15:38started at 25. even 25 seems awfully early to be interfering with such an obviously beautiful young
15:48face and i wondered what level of intervention durva and carl were going to need at 35 at 45 might
15:55the
15:56jabs just stop working relax at your age really you should do it um once a year for botox yeah
16:06really
16:07yeah once a year not once a month you know because the more you do it right the more your
16:13muscle is
16:14going to become weak it's not too soon no it's more middle anyway i'm well able so do you think
16:20you could go for six months or a year with no botox god no i couldn't i actually couldn't the
16:29quicker
16:29you get it the more chance you have to develop antibodies you'll probably become quite resistant
16:34to both yeah so i feel like i have this already i feel like i have to get my books
16:39on quite regularly
16:39because i it's wearing off so quick i'd definitely be booking a facelift if that's the case for real
16:49cosmetic interventions aren't forever but what is medical science offering to keep our bodies
16:55performing younger as we age there's biology in us that resets the aging clock there is no law of
17:02biology that says we have to grow old and could the fanatical world of the longevity biohackers
17:08hold the secret to forever youth i hear our pill my rate of aging is 0.63 every year i
17:17only age
17:170.63 years oh my god
17:27it's not just our faces that can be chemically altered to erase the signs of aging i've literally
17:33found the fountain of youth like chris jenner looks 25 again and it's not because the only thing i'm
17:37trying not to do is not die i have a question are these little pills the fountain of youth medical
17:42science is also developing new ways to stop our bodies aging at a deeper cellular level
17:49and at trinity college dublin the world's brightest and best experts in the science of aging
17:55are converging for the annual dublin longevity summit yeah that's me
18:01lovely and i was more than ready to discover if science could uncork my own fountain of youth
18:07we have this longevity hype trend fad obviously aging is an immensely big market there are medicines
18:16and medical treatments that can allow us to delay aging i think people are going to look back and
18:24say isn't it amazing that people just withered and died in the past they look at it the same way
18:29as we
18:29look at not having an anesthetic in shock and sympathy for us in most countries in europe aging causes
18:36over 90 of deaths when you realize this aging process isn't inevitable i think that's the
18:41greatest achievement in the history of our species there's biology in us that resets the aging clock
18:47and it's incredibly profound
18:50the technological advances are mind-blowing you just couldn't even have imagined it 25 years ago
19:00i believe we found the tool that we can use to really rejuvenate cells
19:04i can see the path to um profound implications do we need to then classify aging as a disease the
19:14mother
19:14of all diseases because the number one risk factor for most diseases how old you are right two-year-olds
19:19don't get alzheimer's disease right break time at the summit and the optimism was intense
19:27here were people who seemed to believe that aging was a medical condition we could eventually cure with
19:35drugs and the best therapeutic intervention is rapamycin it was the first one that was shown to
19:40have an effect and it's still the best rapamycin is made originally by a bacteria on easter island
19:49and it was discovered very serendipitously this drug is used as an immune suppressant and much later
19:56it was discovered that it slows aging when you have a situation where there's not many nutrients around
20:02like calorie restriction or fasting rapamycin sort of phenocopies that state and it puts the cell in
20:09the stress resistant mode at the dose taken as an immune suppressant it has a lot of side effects
20:16but if you take rapamycin say once a week at five milligrams most people don't have side effects
20:21did you get any when you were taking no no i got it through a doctor somewhere between 10 000
20:28and
20:29100 000 people are taking rapamycin the u.s you can prescribe drugs off label i think that it's the
20:35wild west a bit you should have a medical professional you know monitoring what's going on ideally a lot of
20:42people don't obviously throughout history people have been seeking the fountain of youth and trying
20:50out all kinds of weird quack remedies so the field has sort of had that reputation to shed as well
20:54but i think in the last couple of decades we started to get some really serious scientific results
21:01many of the scientists here seem to be excited by the off-label use of rapamycin as a longevity drug
21:10and as summit organizer martin was wrapping his successful longevity thinking there were two
21:15things i was dying to know can i ask you a personal question uh-huh what age are you just
21:22turned 50
21:23just turned 50. have you taken or used any of the drugs like rapamycin no but i'm just going to
21:30start
21:30i mean if it's used as an organ transplant immune suppressant it's not trivial it's a very serious kind
21:37of impact but they found that if they get the dosing right and if they reduce it back it has
21:43like
21:43astounding longevity effects like what well like 20 30 percent that's 20 plus years of additional life
21:57all right so do you know what probably the strangest thing about today was you're with
22:01a load of eminent scientists clearly experts in their field like they want to fix aging with medicines
22:08and rapamycin they all seem to be taking rapamycin the thing is none of them looked particularly young
22:15you know they all look their age but they are focused on aging from the inside not really about what
22:21they
22:21look like for me aging is a natural part of life for them aging is a disease that has to
22:27be cured
22:29and that's a different way of thinking because the patent for rapamycin expired in 2009 there's no
22:37profit in big pharma companies funding expensive trials to have it reclassified as a longevity drug
22:43so for now it's just the longevity science community that take a punt on its benefits
22:53so we know when it comes to healthy aging that the gold standard is diet and exercise but you know
22:59what people are just tired of hearing that and also because it's hard right and now people more and
23:06more are turning to drugs medicines chemicals some of which are approved and some which aren't
23:12and the real buzzword in the longevity world at the moment are peptides peptides are amino acids from
23:21the same family of chemicals as glp1s generally obtained from unregulated online sale sites chinese
23:29lab-made chemicals sold with no medical regulation but making seductive age reversal claims you haven't
23:37noticed peptides are all the rage the ghkq peptide in my little bottle of clo is magical it does it
23:43all
23:45but injectable peptides are not just a u.s craze they're also being embraced by longevity
23:51enthusiasts in ireland people like wexford trainer and longevity coach levi and his 68 year old mom
23:58theresa hello hello kathryn how's it going levi very welcome nice to meet you nice to meet you wow
24:06this is some setup yeah it's not bad hello theresa are you all right down there very warm and cozy
24:11a bit of red light therapy a bit of red light therapy in the back end of wexford the back
24:17end of wexford
24:19so when did the gym become more of a longevity home so i've always been very interested in um the
24:27health of
24:27the body i'm very interested in how we can optimize the health of the body obviously look at
24:32i did lose my dad um he's only 55. he passed away of heart disease and he had neurodegenerative disease
24:40as
24:40well if we can start to catch this stuff and utilize what's available to us can we maybe improve
24:45people's lives and that's my driving force to why i do what i do and you know my mom as
24:51well
24:51terrified of losing her and i will do whatever i can to help her are you a willing participant i
25:00am
25:00definitely willing a participant teresa can i bring you in here love so i'm trying to get my head around
25:07this whole peptides game he's on it are you taking them not yet okay you know it's in the pipeline
25:14for me
25:15the benefit i've seen from these peptides myself personally um i think it's a no-brainer so we know
25:22glp1 they are peptides insulin is a peptide they're not illegal but then a lot of the peptides in the
25:29wellness and the aging space and the longevity space are not fda approved like at the moment in europe
25:35anyway which is what i can speak on the regulations are sparse around it we have what's called research
25:41great peptides it is kind of the wild west you know in a way and it can be you know
25:46so many of
25:47you asked about my glow it's this peptide seriously my skin there's so much talk online and it seems
25:53like every influencer everybody is on it like the glow stack you take your peptides great for your skin
25:59and your hair yeah what peptides do is they give us what we used to have but they are still
26:04pharmaceuticals
26:05so if you are injecting these peptides you need to understand what you're doing because you can't
26:10just go out and just buy something off the internet and start sticking needles into yourself
26:14and would you be anxious or nervous about taking it not one bit would you not not at all what
26:19levi does
26:20is he looks at my bloods every four months and then you know when the time is ready you then
26:28that's
26:28when i'm going to we're going to start i believe these peptides are you know they're going to really
26:35keep me keep me i'm going to live until i'm 300 yes theresa i'm going to be doing a headstand
26:45as sincere as levi obviously is about helping his mom to stay younger for longer using peptides
26:51he's not a medic but in the growing field of regenerative medicine there are doctors who are
26:59experts in the benefits of peptides even if they are a long way from being able to prescribe them
27:05for aging all this talk about peptides which has just blown up all over the internet you are one of
27:11the very few people in the medical profession in ireland really kind of championing these peptides
27:18i spent four years uh doing molecular biology so signal messengers peptides are really up my street
27:25now we've had a lot of really solid research like in the glp and peptides particularly with
27:32zempic and monjaro and wagovi yeah they work well there's no doubt about it but to translate that
27:42into something that is going to make you live longer longevity that isn't actually through peptides
27:51are overhyped unfortunately and peptides also there's a lot of overreach regarding actually
27:57what they can do it's such an easy market to be vulnerable because everybody wants to live longer
28:02and live younger and to keep normal brain function the things that we do know that work are exercise
28:11proper sleep they definitely are associated with longevity per se now it'll probably catherine
28:18unfortunately take another generation before we call all the peptide ones so peptides certainly have
28:26the ability to change things but just not yet in miami florida they take aging to the max the older
28:39miami
28:39it's look like they're enjoying life they look fit relaxed and healthy while the young well they're
28:47just obsessed with staying young how old do i look 31 31 yeah what if i told you i was
28:5438 wow you could
28:56look like me if you ate my diet here in miami the buzzword amongst young longevity enthusiasts is biohacking
29:07biohackers basically believe that we all have the power within ourselves to stop ourselves aging and
29:13they dedicate their entire life's purpose to this so they simply don't accept that what we would
29:19consider normal aging is going to happen to them and i'm off to meet a miami biohacker who is spending
29:25his 30s obsessively trying not to get old and i'm just wondering if that is a youth well spent
29:37one one one eight
29:43joe hello how's it going nice to meet you lovely come in thank you this is my residential apartment oh
29:51my
29:52goodness holy smokes look at this yes i have a whole nother apartment where i do my biohacking and
29:59it's my office and you know it's okay where i spend my days this is just where i go to
30:04sleep so how
30:05long have you been biohacking since i was uh probably 13. oh my goodness and what are you now 30
30:13almost 39 39 yeah i need to know all your secrets by the end of today look at this view
30:19yeah it's really
30:20nice so 38 39 is your chronological age so then what's your biological age my rate of aging is 0
30:28.63
30:29which every year i only age 0.63 years so what are you doing on a a daily basis to
30:36achieve that
30:37i've tried to build my life in a way that most of the things i do don't require excess time
30:43with
30:43supplements or pharmaceuticals or peptides you could stack them you take one on top of the other and
30:49you could take as money as you want so you could take 200 i take 200 in a given day
30:55200 yeah everything
30:57pharmaceuticals peptides all together it's 200 substances yeah is that is that brian johnson levels
31:02it's more than brian johnson i think he only takes about a hundred
31:08a block away was joe's biohacking apartment where he spends his days studying the results of monthly
31:15blood tests taking pharmaceuticals and supplements to keep his test results within the range of a
31:20teenager look at this oh my god it's so miami i love it i have a package let's see what
31:27it is it's
31:28probably a supplement i get supplements big surprise yeah it's a supplement every day there's some
31:34supplement coming hey come into my apartment joe even employs his own biohacking assistant this is anna
31:42this is my assistant she helps me you keep him on track keep yes basically everything that you will
31:51open here is going to be supplements these are all supplements so this is for one day uh this is
31:58this is
31:59one morning so six yeah so this is six days of the morning some days i put in rapamycin this
32:05is the
32:05drug that everyone's talking about yes biohacking circles yep so you're a believer yes yeah i'm going
32:12in first thing i thought was ozempic pen uh that is one of them what are you on ozempic i
32:20uh take micro doses
32:22of ozempic not ozempic the the second generation mangero or reddit this is the one you're looking for
32:28trisepatide holy shit sorry now what hold on you are taking um munjaro yeah a little bit i'm not
32:38taking it at a dose where i'm going to get weight loss maybe i'll lose one kilo a year people
32:44are
32:44taking high doses of the glp they're losing weight but they're they're reducing their risk for
32:52cardiovascular disease it's causing a lot of longevity benefits as well i have a lot more peptides
32:58here i found that these are the two peptides that help me the most okay and um because my
33:06mitochondria need to be stronger and these help my mitochondria that would make me nervous do you know
33:11what i mean something that's not fda approved and i don't know if it's coming out at the same lab
33:14as
33:15fentanyl you know what i mean for a good reason i i i understand for me i'm a little more
33:21of a risk taker
33:22yeah all of the peptide stacking that you're doing what is the cost per month for peptides alone it
33:33could be like one or two thousand dollars a month yeah and then you've got the supplements on top of
33:38that uh yeah yeah my whole regimen is quite expensive it's probably like ten thousand dollars a month
33:49none of the lab synthesized peptides joe was injecting have been medically trialed on humans
33:55and his peptide regime was not being medically supervised but the peptides were just the chemical
34:02appetizer sorry look i'm just after is this your day this is my morning so it has an m on
34:10it to
34:10signify that it's just for the morning sorry this goes into one smoothie yep jesus no wonder you need
34:19an assistant are you actually taking the piss out of me now this is not a joke this is all
34:26going into one
34:26smoothie yeah this is biohacking on a level that i just didn't kind of contemplate
34:37i'm at the extreme here right and part of the reason i'm at the extreme is because
34:42i have a lot of heart disease in my family i want to get rid of that sure so i
34:47want to see what are the
34:48frontiers of biology that we can push what is the frontiers where's the limit and that i keep on probing
34:56so the shake is all this stuff and then i get all my pills and it becomes quite efficient
35:10i hear a lot of pills
35:13some of them you can actually chew
35:19i mean
35:23oh lord hats off buddy it wasn't that long so the pills and this take down in a few minutes
35:33two
35:33minutes but that doesn't make you want to vomit no no no no no i'm fine yeah
35:42joe was treating his body as a chemically charged de-aging experiment
35:47and he was doing the same with his brain lsd causes neurogenesis it creates new neurons it
35:55creates new brain connections so uh i could take this as a stimulant
36:02um just for micro dosing and i'm still very sharp this is a micro dose uh would you like some
36:08don't
36:09think so i think i'm good i think i'm good what about the ketamine i think i'm good at the
36:13ketamine
36:14as well so you just take a little spray of that too yeah can you take them together yeah i
36:20want
36:20to be clear that i don't recommend these things yeah yeah it's you know it's you have to take
36:26specific dosages you got to know what you're doing just like anything else a little bit of lsd
36:31a little bit of lsd a little bit of supplements 200 of them you mix it together you have a
36:38nice effect
36:39yeah you are defeating aging at its core or dying trying
36:45to get me started as a biohacker joe had suggested a trip to nearby fort lauderdale
37:00so is it becoming clear yet where i'm bringing you uh well i think so i mean this says america
37:08to
37:08me you've got domino's here you've got the vape shop here and then right in the middle of it all
37:14you've
37:14got the life extension health and wellness market exactly after you go to domino's and you vape you need
37:20so this is where we're going yeah all right where we're going let's do it
37:28oh my god wow
37:35here was a life extension supermarket where youth comes in pill form
37:42what's this dopamine oh my god that's the happy hormone where's the giant bottle of that
37:50memory protect what's in that the main thing is lithium pretty much
37:56lithium yeah it's given for bipolar but in small doses it's used for longevity it's only one milligram
38:03i take five milligrams a day of lithium there were chemicals on sale here that you would never find in
38:12an irish health store making claims that supplements in ireland would be prohibited from making
38:18talk to me about the regulation then when it comes to supplements in the states is there none there's very
38:24little regulation and uh under trump there's even less regulation so so you can buy whatever you want
38:32which i personally like because it creates a freedom to be able to push the boundaries and
38:39uh but you know what you're doing i i mean i'm somebody who hasn't a clue people who don't know
38:43what
38:43they're doing don't take it well you see if i saw a dopamine advantage i'd be like give me that
38:47okay increase my dopamine levels because i would think that it's natural and it's
38:51you know what's gonna so you would get this if you were in the store well i mean yeah
38:59testosterone elite i mean is this actual testosterone like you do not see this on shelves in ireland
39:07steel libido i mean literally anything and everything pms relief estrial what's this
39:15this is active this is actually that we can buy off the shelf wow yeah
39:21we've come a long way from the evening primrose oil okay we have everything we got everything
39:27needed hey how are you all right we're just uh extending her lifespan okay then let's find out
39:38how much it's gonna cost me to live forever what's your name kwan kwan do you want to guess how
39:43many
39:43supplements joe takes a day um joe looks fit and healthy so i'll say like 10 10 10. think mount
39:52everest wow now we're gonna go just like 200 oh wow hello you're taking that investment yes she gets
39:59me no she thinks you're crazy there's a method to the madness all righty so the total to extend your
40:06life today is 157.04 i think that's good value to extend your life i think so how many years
40:12is it
40:12going to give me i would say if i you want a real guess yeah six months 32 days
40:24i'm not even kidding
40:28so a limited investment in supplements might buy me a month of extra life
40:34but there is a radical facial surgery that promises over a decade of extra youth women
40:41particularly you know we're not allowed get old anymore no forever 35 yeah but could a facelift
40:48rewind me back to 35 forever oh god that's very very very visual richard
41:05at 47 i'm intrigued by the possibility that aging is becoming optional while scientists and medics dive
41:13deeper into the core biology of aging the plastic surgeons are perfecting ever more sophisticated
41:20ways to keep us youthful on the surface quiet on the set in 2025 mammy of all the kardashians
41:29chris jenner broke the internet with her brand new face chris jenner this was surgical rejuvenation
41:38that looked nothing like the freakishly stretched facelifts of old
41:44chris jenner suddenly seemed to have morphed into her own daughter
41:53at dublin's matter private hospital irish plastic surgeons are now cutting deeper into the facial
41:59muscle structure for chris jenner-like results here the deep plane facelift is touted as the gold standard
42:08it's major surgery and i was about to find out just how major so my understanding of a deep plane
42:16facelift is instead of actually the old-fashioned way of pulling and tightening you're going into
42:23the muscle on the face is that right so your face has got like lots of layers so the outside
42:28layer is
42:28the skin then the next layer is the subcutaneous fat which is just the fat under the skin the next
42:33layer
42:33is this thing called the smas which is like used to manipulate the face and then the next layer is
42:37called the nominate layers it's a glide plane and you go down to the glide plane you're correcting
42:42where the problem is so we're going to create volume where it should be we're going to redefine
42:47the neck and we're going to give you a nice sharp angle
42:53fabulous how popular are these deep plane facelifts becoming i think it's nearly exponential and it's
43:00only because of social media and what's the youngest patient 44 44 i think there's a trend in ireland at
43:09the
43:09moment that ladies that are are older are getting it done yeah and they're getting a great result um
43:16but i think it will slowly become a younger person surgery because if we could do if we could do
43:22that
43:22here he goes if we could do that and that with you do you mean it's fab you'd have to
43:29do your gland as well
43:30though what what's wrong with my gland it's interesting though isn't it that we're now talking
43:37facelifts at 40 and 50 women particularly it's the pressure you know we're not allowed get old
43:43anymore no forever 35 yeah that's that's it yeah today plastic surgeon dr richard hansen was performing
43:53a deep plane face and neck lift on a patient in her early 60s this operation takes over five hours
44:05if you're going to faint fall backwards
44:10so let's have a look in here because this is cool so there's our cuff there so this is what
44:15we cut okay
44:17this is our deep plane here so this is our glide plane see now this is really cool see here
44:23yeah see the white little stringy thing they're all the nerves that supply your facial expression
44:29so if you damage them you can't smile but if it hasn't been destroyed with tons and tons of laser
44:35and tons and tons of filler we can just push this away look so we shouldn't be doing lasers or
44:40filler we should just all be getting facelift with caution but nothing beats surgery this is lovely
44:47beautiful stuff oh god that's very very very visual richard that's your deep plane well i i wouldn't
44:55describe it as lovely i mean it is amazing but it is full on i mean and it's funny i'm
45:05totally fine
45:05looking into the anatomy but it's when i go around and i see a face you know there's a person
45:12behind all of
45:13this it's so full on but this is what's going to make her happy what we're going to do is
45:19we're going
45:20to try and bring this up into this position like that so in a couple of minutes we're going to
45:24take
45:24about 10 or 15 years off six months ago dr hansen performed this same surgery on 55 year old dublin
45:35dentist kira and i was keen to meet her you look absolutely glorious thank you very much you really
45:43look amazing i feel it my story is i'm 55 years of age and i work out a lot in
45:51the gym i look after
45:52myself i eat healthily i was just getting very disappointed with the results of botox and fillers and
45:58stuff like that because i'd lost a lot of volume off the center of my face and my eyes looked
46:05quite
46:05sunken and that's all i could see when i looked in the mirror and i wanted to do something that
46:11would
46:11make me look fresher and younger because i felt young inside but my face didn't look young have you
46:17any scarring four months in not really it's a big decision and yeah okay it's gone under the knife
46:26but i just look like the way i used to look and when i look in the mirror i look
46:32like me whereas
46:33before i didn't know who this old woman was appearing in front of me
46:42back in the matter private theater one richard and his team were finishing today's deep plane face and
46:48neck lift surgery this is it so it's the neck the jawline going in angle and the mid face and
46:58that
46:58alone you just get better and better with time it's not beautiful amazing great
47:06in five and a half hours you've rewound the clock 15 years
47:10it's good isn't it financially what are we talking in north america or in no you here here in the
47:16matter
47:16you so i think it depends on whether you're going to get there's like you get eyes you could get
47:21brow you could get face you could get neck so i think you're probably talking like 10 of what it
47:26would cost in north america really yeah there's a guy in the uk he's 100 grand there's a guy that
47:31i know in st louis he's between two and three hundred thousand there's a guy in new york who's
47:36two hundred thousand and they're just they're booked up a year in advance so it's the only way they
47:41can control their appointments is by upping their price so we're not there yet so i was about to say
47:48you're not selling yourself short then no not yet not yet not yet but by the time it comes for
47:53me to
47:53have one yeah you'll have to sell your house i was pretty sure i'd never sell my house for a
48:02facelift
48:03but i felt the need to talk to someone who was more certain
48:08fashion stylist kathy o'connor is radiant in her 60s with zero surgical help
48:14and she's established women unbranded a movement of older irish women rejecting the beauty industry's
48:21idea of what our faces and bodies need to look like first you were young then you were middle-aged
48:26now you were old now you are wonderful
48:31i'm 65 i am really happy to have wrinkles i'm i don't want to be frozen faced who i am
48:39in this
48:39world is not about this it's about who i am in this world let's talk about the fear of getting
48:47old and
48:48becoming invisible let's talk about the pressure that comes with trying to stay young so i think one
48:55of the challenges with that catherine is the depiction of age so what we have just in popular
48:59culture is we've got a glut of the 20 30 somethings are there visible doing it grooving being active
49:04all that kind of thing the only portrayal we see of age is advanced old age and it's a very
49:09bleak picture
49:10who wants to walk towards that door and so the effect that it can happen on many women is that
49:15they
49:15feel invisible they feel invisible in the world and as bad as that is catherine what's really appalling
49:21is when they are invisible to themselves when they look at themselves in the mirror and are
49:26only criticizing themselves isn't that the panacea for a lot of people it's like but never aging but
49:32the notion that we can stop from a visual point of view from psychological and just go i'm digging
49:38my heels in i'm going this far and no further is a very sad outcome for a life and and
49:45the facelifts
49:46now are called the forever 35 facelift that's what they're called oh god
49:53rather than that connection to the past and wishing i looked younger i wish i was that person
49:59there's a whole new chapter that can be written about the joys of getting older and there's a reason
50:05why we live so far past our fertile years is because we are the keepers of the flame the revolution
50:12starts here yes oh my god i'd never want to go and see dr gosh it again until six months
50:21time
50:26okay if i wanted to get serious about the aging process i was going to need to dive deeper into
50:34my
50:34own dna a lot of blood in there for a lot of tests and in episode two i enter the
50:41expensively
50:42high-end world of the longevity clinics okay so we're off see the blood come out yeah and things
50:49take a sinister turn glyphosate it's a nasty one it can put you at a higher risk of cognitive problems
50:55or
50:56or cancers oh god could the blood of the young really be used to rejuvenate the old how many times
51:04have you had young plasma injected into yourself three times and more in the future we believe
51:12that all of life is sacred and what happens when the obsession with eternal youth becomes a religion
51:19mankind's going to develop the technology to live forever and we'll have a whole lot of fun
51:29so
