00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:04.879
It was devastating for me to see her vibrant woman dissipate in front of my eyes.
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:06.639
My mother was moving to comfort me.
00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:08.560
She says, Well, when you die and go to heaven.
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:10.880
And that didn't sound good to me that I had to die.
00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:14.880
So I immediately popped out of my mouth, why can't we have heaven here on Earth?
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:15.519
And so I did.
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:17.199
It was in it was in me after that.
00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:22.320
When I was in school, grade school, I wrote themes on it on how we could have unlimited life here on the planet.
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:24.000
We're subduing aging now.
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:27.440
We're able to slow down aging, but we really need to reverse aging.
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.000
And that's what this magnificent field is about now.
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:35.039
Super longevity is about not just keeping people healthy until they die or slowing aging.
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:43.759
It's about reversing aging, which I think within the next three to five years, we'll have a welcome to the Swedish Wealth Institute podcast.
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:44.960
My name is Danny Wood.
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:49.840
I am your host, and welcome to this amazing conversation with James Strole.
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:57.679
James has spent decades exploring health, longevity, and the possibility of radically extending the human lifespan.
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:09.280
He is the founder of People Unlimited, helped create the Coalition for Radic Life Extension, and has worked alongside scientists, doctors, and longevity pioneers from all over the world.
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:12.799
He's also the author of The Gospel of Longevity.
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:19.359
At 77 years old, James says he feels better than ever, and his will to live is stronger than ever.
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:23.120
I really appreciate you being with us here today at the Swedish Wealth Institute.
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:28.000
Our mission is to connect you with the right mentor at the right time for you to live your mission.
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:39.680
And I think it says a lot about who you are, that you're taking this time to learn, grow, work on yourself, and become 1% better every day, because that's exactly what this podcast is here to support.
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:46.719
I am really excited for this episode because we're going to get into the simple things that James believes we all can do now.
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:54.480
How do we improve our sleep, movement, sunlight, breathing, and taking care of your body every single day?
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:58.480
But what's cool is how far much further we're going to be going in the future.
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:11.599
We'll be talking gene therapy, radical life extension, longevity escape velocity, AI, digital twins, and some of the emerging technologies that James believes could completely change the way we think about aging.
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:17.360
It's not just about living longer, it's about what makes life worth living.
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:28.240
Because as our technology becomes more powerful, James believes we also have to develop our humanity, our compassion, our relationships, our sense of meaning, and our connection to one another.
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:36.800
So if you're interested in health, longevity, human potential, or where all of this technology may be taking us, you're gonna like this conversation.
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:38.319
Let's get into it.
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:46.719
Yeah, well, I'm really excited about what we're gonna talk about today.
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:53.680
I mean, I've am wildly interested in health and longevity myself, and obviously you are too.
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:55.039
So uh let's have some fun.
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:58.719
Tell give us a little bit about your background and how you got into longevity.
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:02.159
Okay, uh yeah, I'm I started at a very early age.
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:02.719
All right.
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:04.159
I was uh fortunate.
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:06.560
I had a uh mother who was into health.
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:09.599
That was back in the 60s, you know.
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:14.080
And not very many uh people at that time were that as health conscious as her.
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:20.879
In fact, my friends would come over and see all kinds of fresh juices and everything in the refrigerator and say, hey, where's the coke, you know?
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:21.840
Right.
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:22.319
Yeah.
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:28.000
And she did allow coke or anything like that in the house, and and I I contribute that a lot to my health today.
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:33.520
I'm healthy and and uh I was a lot of gratitude for my mother kind of helping lead the way in that.
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:45.840
Uh but when I really got interested in, you know, longevity is when, you know, uh eleven years old, my uh mu my grandmother died of cancer, and I was very close to her and uh she lived with us.
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:57.280
And it was devastating for me to see her just this vibrant woman just uh you know, dissipate, just just you know deteriorate, you know, uh in front of my eyes.
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:01.039
And it was a bad it was a tense experience for her as a young boy.
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:06.639
And I think all of us as human beings, we have these experiences one time or another that traumatizes us.
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:11.840
And I and so when she actually died, I said to my mother, when do I get to see grandma again?
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:12.400
You know?
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:14.719
And my mother was moving to comfort me.
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.600
She says, Well, when you die and go to heaven, you know?
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:22.000
And that didn't sound good to me that I had to die to have time to do that.
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:25.519
So I immediately popped out of my mouth, why can't we have heaven here on earth?
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:31.600
You know, why can't we create an environment that you know and my mother was kind of shocked and she says, Oh, that's a good thought.
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:33.120
Why don't you follow that thought?
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:34.000
And so I did.
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:35.680
It was in it was in me after that.
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:42.000
When I was in school, grade school, I wrote themes on it on how we could have, you know, unlimited life here on the planet.
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:46.240
You know, my teachers would come and say, Oh, wow, that's really interesting, you know.
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:48.319
And some of them would go, Well, where are you going with this?
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:50.800
You know, and but I wrote, I just was in me.
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:59.920
And I think you know, and we when you have something like that that's uh you know meaningful in yourself, you draw other people to you, you know, that have those same interests.
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.040
So that's what happened.
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:17.519
I, you know, went through high school, college, and then I met in 1968 uh the partners that I worked for uh with for uh almost 40 years, uh Charles Paul Brown and Bernard Dean, who were then at that time speaking on unlimited lifespans, the possibility of it.
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:20.480
That was in 1968 when I met them, you know.
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:27.439
And that was exciting for me because that's what I was looking for, someone who was, you know, really talking the talk and walking the walk.
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:30.800
So they're very healthy, they were into all kinds of good things.
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:37.199
And uh so I got involved with them and to help, you know, push the envelope and uh the cause.
00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:54.879
And I actually got kind of on the I'm a I'm uh uh also an entrepreneur and I had experience in business, so I helped uh you know fund the program by working in different uh fields of uh income and traveled all helped them travel all over the country and we developed quite a community doing that.
00:05:55.040 --> 00:06:06.800
And eventually we were invited overseas to speak, and then went to 26 different countries, you know, several continents, speaking on unlimited lifespans, and and uh yeah, that's that's how I got started.
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:08.720
And it was been it's been a fantastic journey.
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:18.399
Now in 2014, uh well, first I should say in 1995, Bern D and I created a company that we still have, I still have here called People Unlimited.
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:26.879
It's a community of unlimited of people that are looking for unlimited lifespans and and the science and and the uh inspiration for it.
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.600
And we have quite a great community here in Scottsdale.
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:34.160
And then in 2014, I uh went out to the longevity community.
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:36.480
I mean, a lot of scientists and doctors, Dr.
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:38.399
Bill Andrews, Aubrey de Gray, Dr.
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:43.839
Bell Falloon of Life Extension Foundation, with an idea of forming a coalition for radical life extension.
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.240
They loved it, so we formed this together.
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:52.160
And then in 2016, we launched it with a uh the biggest super longevity event in the world called Radfest.
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:57.839
In fact, we just finished Radfest two weeks ago here in Scottsdale at Talking Stick Resort.
00:06:58.000 --> 00:06:59.519
It was a ma it was an amazing time.
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:01.040
I had about a thousand people there.
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:08.079
And so this has been you know my journey, and that's and I wrote a book here about it called The Gospel, the Gospel of Longevity.
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:21.600
It's my journey, and I encourage people to read it, not because I I want to sell books, just to sell books, but it's because it's a journey that I think will help anybody in the longevity flow, you know, and uh because it's a challenging uh, you know, uh walk.
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:25.600
Uh it's more than just what we think of just, you know, thinking we're gonna live a long time.
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:28.560
We want to we want to live with a long time with vitality and strength.
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:30.959
So that this book is about how to do that.
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:42.079
You know, I'm 77 now, uh, you know, years on the planet, and I feel better never, and my my will to live is stronger than ever, which is a real key thing, I think, because people lose their will many times.
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:44.319
They want to live, but they lose their will to live.
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:47.360
And my will is stronger than ever, and I write about that in this book.
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:50.560
So that's that's kind of the short the short story.
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:51.759
I I love that.
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:58.480
And I mean, I I loved what you said there as an 11-year-old that you know, why don't we have heaven here on earth?
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:00.959
That that was that was really beautiful.
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.279
And so now what is what is power what what is possible?
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:11.759
I mean, a lot of people talk about biohacking and they talk about longevity, but what does that mean in practice?
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:23.120
Like how if if I start adopting these things, and we'll talk about the things we need to start thinking about in our daily lives and and the techniques, but what what kind of an impact can it actually have?
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:34.159
Well, it can have an amazing impact, and this is something that this message that I want to get out to people that right now there's many modalities and therapies that are tremendous to keep you alive.
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:39.279
As you know, Ray Kerswell has said, you know, stay alive long enough to live forever.
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:45.200
Uh because these exponentially these new therapies and innovations are coming across faster and faster at all the time.
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:56.159
And now there's therapies that that you know, Life Extinction Foundation, many other organizations now have helped, you know, put on the table that can keep us healthy until the next innovation comes along.
00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:56.960
So that's the idea.
00:08:57.120 --> 00:08:57.919
That's what I do.
00:08:58.080 --> 00:08:59.919
You know, I I do different therapies.
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:09.360
I I don't do there's there's a lot of things I don't do because they're not you know, I wouldn't advise anybody just to throw a bunch of stuff then and them because somebody's selling it.
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:10.080
You know?
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:29.360
Uh I think you have to be prudent in that and you know, check with your doctor and and there's a lot of ways now to uh and a lot of great enthusiasts, uh biohackers, like you said, that have you know gotten uh very pertinent information uh and share it to uh help guide you along the way.
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:30.879
Also, that's what my book is about too.
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:41.120
I have a whole chapter in the book, What I Do, you know, er every day and uh what I've done and uh how people can stay vibrant, you know, and and help heal conditions.
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:51.679
I mean, there's not really very few conditions that can't be healed today, or at least put into you might say, submission that uh you can stay alive and and vibrant.
00:09:51.919 --> 00:10:00.240
So this is important for people to know to step out of just a traditional I'm I'm grateful for traditional medicine, but at the same time, it doesn't have all the answers.
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:03.759
And now new answers are coming, and we all need to be privy of them.
00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:08.720
Yeah, I I think I had a conversation here a while back with one of my friends.
00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:11.840
She's uh she's a specialist nurse here in Sweden.
00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:21.679
And what was interesting is we actually call health care sick care in Sweden, which which is actually very, you know, very true.
00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:26.480
It's not about you know being proactive and trying to fix things before they come out.
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:32.080
It's you just got sick, let's try to fix, let's you know, fix those symptoms.
00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:36.879
And and I thought that was a very cool, I'd never thought of it that way, but that's actually what it's called.
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:37.679
It's sick care.
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:39.919
Yeah, that's what we call it here too, in the States.
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:41.279
Absolutely, absolutely.
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:43.919
And a lot of the doctor friends of mine call it that.
00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:55.120
They know they know that the tools they have for health overall is just to, you know, kind of try to, you know, pacify the sick situation that people are in or patch it up.
00:10:55.200 --> 00:11:04.159
And and many of them, you know, don't that's why several of my doctor friends have stepped out of that arena to utilize some of the new innovations like peptides.
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:13.360
I I was in an event recently that these doctors that were in there, it was all about peptides, and these doctors are so excited because they said, Finally, we have some things in our toolbox.
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:17.200
You know, so many of these doctors, contrary to what some people think, really care.
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:19.360
You know, they got in the profession, they want to help.
00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:24.559
But but they've gotten discouraged because of the lack of uh of uh tools they have to do that.
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:27.039
You know, it's been about, like you say, sick care.
00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:34.080
So now they have some tools and they're and they were saying, Oh my god, I can actually help people, you know, and so it's a beautiful thing.
00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:34.720
Yeah.
00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:36.159
So so share with us.
00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:37.279
What do you do?
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:40.639
What's a start with what's a normal day like?
00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:46.559
What are the things you can do daily, and then we'll talk about the more experimental peptides and cool stuff.
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:46.960
Yeah.
00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:54.960
A lot of people worry that, and you probably heard it too, that oh, this is not this this new you know, longevity medicine is only for the wealthy or people who can afford it.
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:56.080
Well, here's the reality.
00:11:56.159 --> 00:12:02.240
There's so many things, so many things you can do right now that really don't cost money or very little money, okay?
00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:05.679
And that's what I describe in my in my chapter in this book.
00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:15.200
I you know, I I I have probably I probably have about 40 different, you know, longevity uh exercises and different you know things I do.
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:22.639
I mix them up during the day, but every day, you know, you should make you should be waking up in the morning first of all and going, how can I energize myself today?
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:30.159
Because we're so used to de-energizing ourselves, being these worker bees, that slave in a in a system, you know, that for survival.
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:32.240
So we should be waking up, and that's what I do.
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:37.679
I wake up in the morning, I I go out, you know, we're we're in sunny Arizona here, so most of the time we have sun.
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:45.039
You know, I'll step out and I'll salute the sun, you know, be grateful for being alive, let the warmth of the sun, you know, hit my body.
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:52.240
That's important because you're you're waking up then, first of all, it's very good for your rhythm, your your sleep rhythms, uh, etc.
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:55.919
Uh it's it's the sun nourishes our body, vitamin D, etc.
00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:57.519
There's so many benefits to the sun.
00:12:57.600 --> 00:13:01.600
I mean, you don't want to bake in the sun, obviously, all the time, but but you need to get sun, all right?
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:03.200
Uh and there's other ways too to do that.
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:08.080
But so then uh I I'm I'm moving my body uh all the time.
00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:10.639
The sitting is the new smoking, right?
00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:20.080
Too much sitting uh, you know, it gets us, it sends messages to our body that that we're becoming you know dormant, you know, and and we need to keep moving in our bodies.
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:26.720
Like we're sitting here now, you know, and uh if I'm if I'm gonna sit here more than you in an hour with you, I'll stand up.
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:29.440
So I'm gonna move my body or I'll wiggle my feet, you know.
00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:31.279
So movement is is vital.
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:33.279
Yeah, I I love that.
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:36.879
I mean, you I don't know if you see, but I'm actually standing standing up.
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:38.320
I got a standing desk.
00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:42.480
And most of the time when I have meetings, I actually have my treadmill.
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:44.399
So I'm walking at a slow pace.
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:47.679
So I'm you know, I'm I'm never sitting still working.
00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:48.399
Good for you.
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:48.960
Good for you.
00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:49.840
This is very important.
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:51.600
So then the question there's sleep.
00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:53.519
What is that doesn't cost us anything, right?
00:13:53.679 --> 00:14:01.759
We know we know that sleep, that sleep is probably the number one longevity you could do, you know, outside of new innovations that are gonna be coming.
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:12.080
What do you say to people, because I I I try to sleep nine hours a night, but I have a lot of friends who happily sleep, you know, four to six hours a night.
00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:14.480
What what what do you say about sleep optimization?
00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:16.320
Well, you just said the key word happily.
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:20.799
They're the program that that's okay to do, you know, and and that's how our society was built.
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:22.799
But I that's part of what I'm saying.
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:29.360
We we adhere to a system that wants us to be, you know, always working at something.
00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:33.600
I've heard people from my friends used to brag, yeah, I only get four or six hours of sleep and I'm still going.
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:39.440
Well, they didn't look very good, and and and and and half the half the time they were sleeping while they were on the job, you know.
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:44.559
But most of all, they're they're they're they're not nourishing the regeneration of their cells, all right?
00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:45.679
Even though they think they are.
00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:46.159
They're not.
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:51.600
They're gonna have their their lifespan normally is gonna be shorter, and it's not gonna be it's not gonna look good.
00:14:51.759 --> 00:15:03.039
They're gonna they're gonna whether they realize it or not, what you do now, especially at younger ages, you're you're setting the pace for what you're gonna feel uh as you as you get older, because you're gonna have those challenges and you're and you're wearing your body down.
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:11.120
So sleep is a regenerative time, you know, and we need, you know, a minimum seven hours, you know, uh up to I think you said you sleep nine.
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:13.759
You know, I sleep, I sleep on average eight.
00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:23.600
And and if you know, and when you sleep good, and and there's all kinds of ways, I think some people don't sleep very good, they have insomnia or they wake up a lot or whatever.
00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:26.159
There's ways to change that, you know, now.
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:28.559
Uh there's really powerful sleep studies that are.
00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:30.000
How can you change that?
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:34.480
If you have trouble falling asleep or you wake up a lot, like what what can you do?
00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:39.360
Well, okay, so I would I would recommend, first of all, there's really powerful sleep studies.
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:40.960
I'm sure you have some there.
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:43.519
We have an individual that spoke here at this Radfest.
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:45.039
It's a very simple study.
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:55.840
Puts a we have a ring you wear uh uh for four or five nights, it studies your sleep, and then he can dial it in with everything from uh as naturally as possible.
00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:57.279
This guy is amazing.
00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:00.480
I can actually send you that information if you like for your friends.
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:01.039
Please.
00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:05.600
But yeah, we'll we can link to it in the show notes because I'm sure everyone listening would love to see that.
00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:06.399
Yeah, yeah.
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:07.840
It's a very powerful thing to do.
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:17.600
Uh, but alongside that, before that study even came along, as you mature, you know, your sleeps your sleeping get worse based on based on what's ever going on in your body.
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:19.600
So I've used melatonin.
00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:20.879
Uh you can dial that in.
00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:23.440
Some people works for them and some people not.
00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:29.840
But if you dial, you have to dial sleeping is a process that I've experienced that you have to dial in.
00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:35.840
It's not just a matter of, oh, I'm going to take three milligrams of uh melatonin and sleep good.
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:44.320
You might you might not sleep good, or you might wake up drawgy, you know, and so you have to maybe take less or you, you know, in combinations.
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:49.840
Uh I also take GABA at night, thionine, L-thionine, and different combinations.
00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:55.440
And I've dialed in in a way that now I I I have a I have a I have a whoop, you know, that I wear.
00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:58.879
I've also had had a uh aura ring that I've worn.
00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:01.600
I've worn them both at the same time to see which is the best for me.
00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:03.200
I like the whoop for me.
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:10.240
Uh but but now I've dialed in my sleep in a way that, you know, my whoops, I I get I get great recoveries, great sleep, you know.
00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:16.559
And but it's taken it took me a little period of time to actually dial that in in a way that works for me.
00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:29.920
But you can do these different combinations of of you know natural remedies that can get you there instead of taking ambient or other drugs that you don't really get s good sleep with with these pharmaceutical drugs for sleep.
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:34.160
They're they're really they're really detrimental to your to your health and your sleep overall.
00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:37.680
You know, ambient after a while can cause a lot of anxiety in your body.
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:50.640
So if you be patient with yourself if you don't have sleep, you know, and move to diode in, there's all kinds of good information how to do that uh out there and and follow that trend, you'll you'll get there to where you need to get that sleep that you need.
00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:51.599
Nice, nice.
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:51.920
All right.
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:54.799
So what what else do you do in a day?
00:17:55.680 --> 00:18:00.160
Well, I I'm I'm uh doing different longevity exercises all day.
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:03.680
Everything from different stretches I do to breathing.
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:04.400
All right.
00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:12.799
We we have a tendency also to breathe shallow, you know, because we're you know feeling the stress for the day or we're focused on something.
00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:14.799
Most people breathe very shallow.
00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:19.359
Uh I do breathing exercises through the day, you know, uh very important.
00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:26.400
Uh I do I then as far as I do swimming, I have a swimming pool here, red sa uh red infrared sauna.
00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:30.480
Uh I have uh several different modalities here in my home, uh infrared lights.
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:39.519
The the the uh pro I'm sorry, the it's called a it's called a uh beamer, a beamer, which is uh impulse uh pulse bed of electro electromagnetic pulses.
00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:52.000
I have a I'm I'm fortunate just down the street, about 10 minutes from me, I have a uh health spa there that has a numerous amount of different uh modalities I go to three or four times a week.
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:56.799
It's inexpensive in that context when you compare it to the health benefits.
00:18:57.039 --> 00:19:03.680
So I'm constantly doing so many different therapies that that uh but you know I've incorporated it in my life.
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:05.440
Some people say, well, where do you get the time?
00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:08.000
Well, you know, that's a key thing too.
00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:11.839
We we are constantly running on the run on most human beings.
00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:14.400
And we go, well, how do we get the time to really take care of our bodies?
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:19.920
You incorporate it into your life, and eventually it becomes a part of your life and and you and you and it becomes enjoyable.
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:22.960
And you it doesn't take away from your work the work you have to do.
00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:27.839
In fact, it it it benefits you to get that work done because it energizes you as you go along the way.
00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:28.640
Right.
00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:44.079
And so let's let's talk about the the things that are happening going forward now, like the the more kind of creative the you know, the things that aren't doing breath work at home, but where you might go to a doctor or treatments or special supplements.
00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:47.759
What what's yeah what's what are you seeing as the cutting edge right now?
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:54.079
Well, uh I'm I'm I'm looking forward to the gene therapy field right now because I think like uh Dr.
00:19:54.160 --> 00:20:00.880
Bill Andrews of Sierra Sciences has got a gene therapy, for example, that can uh that's been proven in the lab.
00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:04.799
All right, he's just waiting now for human trials, and this is very exciting, right?
00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:08.079
This gene therapy has the potential to reverse aging.
00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:10.240
Uh, and that's a key thing what we want, right?
00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:14.799
We're we're we're we're subduing aging now, we're able to slow down aging, okay?
00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:20.240
But we really need to reverse aging, and that's what this magnificent field is about now.
00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:22.319
Uh that's what Radfest is about.
00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:24.880
It's about super longevity, which is different than longevity.
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:33.039
Super longevity is about not just keeping people healthy until they die or or slowing aging, it's about reversing aging.
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:36.400
And so this gene therapy now uh that Dr.
00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:46.799
Bill Andrews is working on, and anybody who wants to look that up and go to Sierra Sciences, Google that, and they can see what's being done there, it's phenomenal and it's uh it's real.
00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:57.359
And he's just now waiting for the human trials and money to to do that, uh, which I think within the next three to five years, we'll have a gene therapy, for example, that can possibly reverse the aging.
00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:01.920
You could be 90 years chronologically and 25 biologically.
00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:03.119
That's the potential of this.
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:06.880
And even if it worked only 50%, that's a big benefit.
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:09.039
And so that's a very exciting field.
00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:27.200
Then there's then there's uh Bill Bill Falun, the Life Institute Foundation, who's now working with uh with monkeys uh in a longevity test uh with uh clotho and a combination of other pharmaceuticals and and natural ingredients that uh are actually reversing monkeys, these monkeys age significantly.
00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:31.839
And he's gonna be putting out that data more here in the next year to complete the study.
00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:38.000
And so that's exciting because clotho is something that can really, you know, change the equation in our aging.
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:42.000
I see, and the scientists I work with see aging as a curable disease.
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:51.359
This is important to get because we need to understand that we're really we're really built as human beings to continuously regenerate in the right environment.
00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:54.400
But we create a an environment that's not conducive to that.
00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:59.759
And that's and this is what we're about now is creating an environment both with uh new innovation.
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:08.160
Innovations that are coming out and and with with our mindset that we're changing our mindset around aging, that we it's not inevitable that we have to die.
00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:10.480
It's not inevitable that we have to get sick.
00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:17.839
Uh really our true, I'll say, ability and and power that we have in us is to continually regenerate.
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:21.680
But but but we do but we've been in an environment that's not been complementary to that.
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:22.960
Wow, that's really cool.
00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:25.680
I mean it's so exciting all the things that are happening now.
00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:28.160
And and what what do you see as like coming?
00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:31.359
What's what's the next phase of of things that are coming out?
00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:41.519
Well, uh Ray Kirstwell, who is the considered the Edison of the new Edison of, you know, this uh g US and and is known around the world for all of his innovations.
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:47.599
Uh he's also kind of a grandfather, you might say, of of longevity, and he's uh been to Radfest many times speaking.
00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:50.480
Uh tremendous person, he's saying now.
00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:56.240
And I I don't know how many people are aware of him, but most of his predictions have come true that he's predicted.
00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:59.680
He predicted AI coming to the two scene now, which is has.
00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:01.920
He's working with Google now on AI.
00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:04.240
Uh he's a genius uh in his own right.
00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:15.599
And he's saying now that in 2032 we will reach the singularity, which means that uh we'll re we'll reach uh longevity escape velocity uh velocity.
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:21.359
We will be then uh regenerating faster than we're de faster than we're aging.
00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:22.640
So this is exciting.
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:39.839
Uh because singularity is about where the combination of the body and science and and and innovations come together and and the you know join uh you might say join forces where uh we become well one thing that he expressed is that we could be uploaded in the cloud.
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:47.279
And he he uses the expression that we're all living a virtual life anyway, because people worry, oh well, that's you know, I don't want to be used up by the cloud, I don't want to be a robot.
00:23:47.359 --> 00:24:01.680
Well, we don't want to be robots, but at the same at the same time, he said there's a ability to experience actually immortality, you know, by by being able to combine the uh innovations that are here with the human body.
00:24:01.920 --> 00:24:07.920
And so that's exciting because we're we need to get away from uh any limitation in our bodies.
00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:14.079
And this is this is this is a this is particularly exciting because we're gonna be able to do things as human beings that we've never done before.
00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:20.000
But it's very important, I want to I want to add here, it's very important that we actually develop our humanity at the same time.
00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:40.240
Because with AI right now, for example, you know, uh it's been known that a fear, one fear is that we will uh d develop technology the technology that will could destroy ourselves, you know, because we use our all of our technology has been used many times for war and and and against you know defense and and against each other.
00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:46.319
So we need to develop our humanity in a way that we uh are valuing our life here like never before.
00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:48.960
And we're we're not destroying each other.
00:24:49.119 --> 00:24:56.240
Uh and this is so important and now technologically because we're much more advanced technologically than we right now than we are our humanity.
00:24:56.400 --> 00:25:04.160
So I'm really a lot about you know developing our humanity at the same time so we could actually benefit from all these new innovations without destroying ourselves.
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:15.359
So so how I for me, I think uh a big question is around the the singularity and and really what that is, how that's going to work.
00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:21.119
Because obviously a lot of people talk about it as simply uploading your brain to the cloud.
00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:21.680
Yes.
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:35.920
But the question there, it it kind of, you know, f the in science fiction, right, they they talk about transporting and stuff, and what you do is essentially you destroy the human in one place and then you create a new one over here.
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:37.599
Is it actually the same person?
00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:43.920
And the same thing if we upload my brain, is it actually me or is it just a AI simulation?
00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:49.680
Well, yeah, I mean the Ray uh Ray Chris was written a great book on this, you know.
00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:54.799
Uh it's called uh Sing Singularity, uh the the New Singularity, the n his latest book.
00:25:55.039 --> 00:26:04.960
And uh it's uh it's about that uh again, he said the biggest threat is that we lose our humanity, you know, because of the because of how we were advancing so fast.
00:26:05.359 --> 00:26:08.720
And so you know that that's a a great question though.
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:12.480
Do we do we you know who we who are we really?
00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:22.720
Now, for example, right now I at this uh event we just had Radfast, uh there's a company there called Praxis, they're an AI company, and they created a digital twin of me.
00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:23.920
Right.
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:28.960
And and this digital twin I got, they've uploaded everything into him, okay.
00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:30.640
It's called James Unlimited.
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:32.640
Uh I can I'll send you if you like.
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:33.680
Yeah, please.
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:37.440
When it comes out, I'll send you my digital twin so you can take a look at it.
00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:38.400
It's pretty amazing.
00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:40.960
You can talk to it just like you're talking to me.
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:43.200
He speaks every language, you know.
00:26:43.599 --> 00:26:52.079
And the benefit from me and this, okay, is that now I can send him around the world, duplicated, you know, to get the message out I want to get.
00:26:52.480 --> 00:27:05.039
Because he and and you know, he he he's able to bring two things to the thought together so quickly and and accumulate thoughts so quick that that it's it's amazing to talk with him and people can come up and talk to him in any language.
00:27:05.440 --> 00:27:15.680
So so I found myself when you talk about you know you know who who am I now, I find myself actually getting jealous about him because he could do more than I could do.
00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:21.839
And so I was I was laughing about it, and but then I realized that to the same time, how what a great tool, you know.
00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:28.240
But the key of this, the key thing is here that this this digital twin does not have a soul.
00:27:28.640 --> 00:27:29.119
All right.
00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:34.160
Yeah, and and and then and this is where we need to develop our soul more.
00:27:34.319 --> 00:28:05.359
We do we as human beings have have dismissed because we've been in this environment of survival, our our soul and our soul contact with ourselves and one another, to really bring about the true humanity of us, and that's gonna ensure us to our identity of who we are, that and and and and distinction between you know uh the AI, you know, dig twins or or digital examples of ourselves or displays of ourselves, between uh that and and who we are as individuals and human beings that have a soul.
00:28:05.519 --> 00:28:08.160
But we haven't we we've disregarded our soul.
00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:09.920
And that that's what my book is about, too.
00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:11.519
How to get in touch with your soul.
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:12.559
And what does that mean?
00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:34.000
Not just, I'm not talking about some religious concept, I'm talking about longevity, the so that the soul, that primal screen in us to lie to be alive and that humanity we have that can feel compassion and love that that that a digital AI duplicate cannot do, you know, and that and that gives us the power over this the the this technology.
00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:41.279
And otherwise we're gonna be subject to it and we're gonna be we're gonna be outsmarted, you know, and we're not even we're gonna lose ourselves in that.
00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:45.039
And and this is so important not to lose ourselves in in this world.
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:59.759
But many people are lost already, you know, and that's why I I also wrote this book because there's a there's a human need right now, uh, because of everything that's happening, you know, more than ever, uh, to get in touch with this the the humanity of ourselves.
00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:00.480
Right.
00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:03.839
And and so what what are your thoughts?
00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:06.000
What what do you think is going to happen there?
00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:07.599
What are what are your beliefs?
00:29:08.400 --> 00:29:20.960
Well, I I I think that uh we're going to uh face some challenges that we already are, and they're gonna be extend I think we're probably gonna get stronger challenges than than than than sooner than than we think.
00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:21.519
All right.
00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:35.599
I think they're gonna get things are gonna get you know tougher on that level until we, as human beings, you know, qu stop, you know, in our survival mode and you know, using these things to for greed, all right.
00:29:35.680 --> 00:29:41.440
Now I heard a talk the other day on AI that was very interesting by an individual who worked for an A AI company for a long time.
00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:42.400
Now he's in charge.
00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:50.559
Uh he's CEO of a company that's moving to slow the A the AI down some, telling them, hey, let's take it, let's slow it down a little bit.
00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:55.839
He's encouraging everybody so that we don't, you know, create something that destroys us.
00:29:56.079 --> 00:30:07.440
Now, I heard an astrophysicist the other day, all right, speak, and he said, you know, most likely in our galaxy, there there's a good chance, he said, that there were other planets that had life on it, all right?
00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:20.400
And but their technology got so so uh advanced that their their own humanity, you know, or or their own intelligence could not handle that technology and they and they exploded their planet up.
00:30:20.640 --> 00:30:24.720
He said, this is the this is a possibility that could happen here in this world, all right?
00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:55.039
If if we're not in touch with uh our our our intelligence as human beings and our humanity, we'll end up from the greed, like these companies is that this guy said who's talking about AI, he said, these companies, some of them are so bent on you know just moving, moving, moving to create AI, and a lot of us out of greed, unfortunately, and they're not they're dismissing the the destructive forces that could happen, you know, in this advancement, that we have to get back and go, okay, what are we really creating here?
00:30:55.200 --> 00:31:14.960
And so so this is a very important thing that we and our in each other that we are not happy, we're in this destructive force that's in us, uh, that we realize how vital human life is, and we move in every way to to survive and to live uh and to make the human being the most vital component of of our of this world.
00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:15.920
I like that.
00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:20.559
Yeah, I mean there's no point to living longer if it's not gonna be a good life anyway.
00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:21.599
Exactly.
00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:22.799
Exactly.
00:31:23.119 --> 00:31:23.440
Yeah.
00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:23.920
All right.
00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:26.079
Are you ready for a rapid-fired round?
00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:26.880
Yeah.
00:31:27.039 --> 00:31:28.400
I just want another comment on that.
00:31:28.559 --> 00:31:29.680
Who wants to live in a world?
00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:36.240
Yeah, who wants to live in a world that we're constantly trying to kill each other or survival like we're doing now?
00:31:36.799 --> 00:31:41.839
I've had people tell me right off the bat when I talk to you about unlimited lifespans, they'll say, Oh, I'm ready to get out of here.
00:31:42.079 --> 00:31:43.359
You know, it's too stressful.
00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:48.160
It's too, you know, they they they've they've they've created some life after death that they think could be better.
00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:57.599
You know, I'm saying that's where I come back and go, hey, we could have heaven and here on earth if we're all pool together and we'll and we'll get in touch with our soul and create this humanity that we really need to have.
00:31:58.240 --> 00:31:58.559
Yeah.
00:31:58.799 --> 00:32:01.279
I mean, that would just be so much more beautiful, right?
00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:01.680
Yeah.
00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:04.640
We could all live in heaven now.
00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:05.440
100%.
00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:06.319
100%.
00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:08.240
So that's what I'm after.
00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:09.759
Yeah, well, let's do it.
00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:10.240
All right.
00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:11.359
Rapid fire round.
00:32:11.599 --> 00:32:12.240
Rapid fire.
00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:16.160
What is what is one belief about aging you'd delete?
00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:18.480
Uh that you have to be decrepit.
00:32:18.720 --> 00:32:19.200
Nice.
00:32:19.519 --> 00:32:22.799
What is one longevity trend that is overhyped?
00:32:23.279 --> 00:32:23.680
Wow.
00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:25.920
There's a few of them overhyped.
00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:34.799
Uh maybe taking too many things at one time, taking too many therapies at one time, thinking that's gonna you know, the the faster you get there, the better you are.
00:32:34.880 --> 00:32:36.720
You you we dump too much stuff in us.
00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:39.119
We're not allowing the body to generate.
00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:40.079
Yeah.
00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:44.079
What is one thing worth doing decades earlier?
00:32:44.640 --> 00:32:45.039
Wow.
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:46.079
Uh sleep.
00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:47.039
Good sleep.
00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:48.160
Good sleep.
00:32:48.400 --> 00:32:53.359
What's one fear about longer lifespans that you consider legitimate?
00:32:53.759 --> 00:32:55.039
Uh running out of money.
00:32:55.680 --> 00:32:57.279
It's a part of that heaven on earth, right?
00:32:57.440 --> 00:32:58.960
Getting rid of that stress as well.
00:32:59.359 --> 00:33:00.000
Yes.
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:05.200
What's one thing you never want technology to remove from being human?
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:06.799
Our soul.
00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:10.640
That kind of leads to this last one here, but finish this sentence.
00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:17.519
A longer life is pointless without the the passion and love of one another and peace on this earth.
00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:18.640
Awesome.
00:33:18.880 --> 00:33:20.559
So, James, how can we connect with you?
00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:22.000
How can we learn more from you?
00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:23.599
Where can we find your book?
00:33:24.079 --> 00:33:25.519
Okay, so that people can go.
00:33:25.680 --> 00:33:28.960
The easiest way is just go on Amazon and order it there.
00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:32.160
It's uh I think it's running out$15 on there.
00:33:32.400 --> 00:33:34.960
I wrote this book uh in a very condensed form.
00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:37.599
It's not filled with a lot of fluff, it's right to the point.
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:40.559
Uh and I think people will really benefit from reading it.
00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:44.640
And and and they can contact me at w peopleunlimited.com.
00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:46.240
Uh, that's a company here I have.
00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:48.160
Just look just Google People Unlimited.
00:33:48.240 --> 00:33:51.200
You'll see our events that can actually we have events twice a week.
00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:52.559
People can come on all over the world.
00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:53.839
We have a streaming setup.
00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:57.920
So they can come in and just, you know, be in the conversation, talk to me.
00:33:58.079 --> 00:34:04.960
Uh my contact information is on that website, People Unlimited, and I'm always happy to speak to anybody and hear their feedback.
00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:08.559
Uh, if they order the book and read it, they can come online and talk about it.
00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:12.000
Uh, it's a great thing that we have these meetings, uh, both online and in person.
00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:12.880
Nice.
00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:16.239
And we'll link to all those things in the show notes.
00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:18.559
And the book's called Gospel of Longevity, just to be clear.
00:34:18.719 --> 00:34:20.719
People say, oh, gospel, is that a religious book?
00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:22.239
No, gospel is good news.
00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:23.440
It's a Greek word.
00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:32.159
You know, as it's a funny thing that, of course, we identify gospel with religion a lot of people, but the gospel, this word gospel was actually created before Christianity or anything.
00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:35.039
But but uh yeah, it's good news about longevity.
00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:36.320
Nice.
00:34:36.719 --> 00:34:40.000
So any final words of wisdom before we let you leave?
00:34:40.719 --> 00:34:41.840
Well, I'll say this.
00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:48.639
We're we're we're all divine human beings, but we haven't experienced let ourselves experience that divinity, and it can take us into a whole new world.
00:34:48.719 --> 00:34:51.199
And and that's real that we can have heaven here and earth.
00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:57.119
But but but not but not without being able to really get in contact with ourselves and each other like we never had before.
00:34:57.280 --> 00:35:01.519
So I want to wish everybody the best and uh and many blessings to all of you.
00:35:01.840 --> 00:35:02.320
Awesome.
00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:04.079
James, thank you so much for joining us.
00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:05.280
I really appreciate it.
00:35:05.599 --> 00:35:06.639
Thank you so much.
00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:10.239
Thank you so much for joining us in this conversation with James Strolley.
00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:14.400
I really appreciate you taking the time to listen, to learn, and to work on yourself.
00:35:14.559 --> 00:35:17.440
And I think you should acknowledge yourself for that.
00:35:17.679 --> 00:35:20.480
Because if you're still here, it means you're serious about your growth.
00:35:20.559 --> 00:35:22.719
You're not just listening to interesting ideas.
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:26.159
You want to take something from this and actually use it in your life.
00:35:26.400 --> 00:35:28.239
Now, this is my favorite part of the show.
00:35:28.400 --> 00:35:36.320
Me and the Swedish Wealth Institute team have gone through this this interview and broken it down into five key takeaways that you can implement right away.
00:35:36.480 --> 00:35:39.679
Because in the end, that's how we become 1% better every day.
00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:41.840
So the five takeaways from this episode.
00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:46.400
Number one, longevity starts with wanting to live.
00:35:46.639 --> 00:35:51.679
So one of the important things that I think James was talking about is you have to want to live.
00:35:51.840 --> 00:35:55.920
At 77, he talks about his will to live being stronger than ever.
00:35:56.079 --> 00:36:01.840
Yo, you can talk supplements, therapies, technology, and all the exciting things happening in longevity.
00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:05.519
But underneath all that is a much more fundamental question.
00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:08.400
Are you still excited about being alive?
00:36:08.480 --> 00:36:11.840
And are you building a life that you actually want more of?
00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:17.039
Number two, start with the fundamentals before chasing the cutting edge.
00:36:17.199 --> 00:36:30.000
James talked about some amazing technology, but some of his most important recommendations were the simplest: sleep, sunlight, movement, breathing, taking care of your body just consistently.
00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:35.519
You don't need to access experimental technology to start investing in your health today.
00:36:35.760 --> 00:36:41.920
Number three, make health part of your life instead of adding it as something on your to-do list.
00:36:42.239 --> 00:36:43.840
So James does this really well.
00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:48.880
He does a lot of things for his health, but he doesn't see those as interruptions to his life.
00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:51.360
They're integrated into how he lives.
00:36:51.519 --> 00:36:54.480
And that's probably the more sustainable way to approach health.
00:36:54.719 --> 00:37:04.000
Not constantly asking where are you going to find the extra time, but gradually designing your life in a way that taking care of yourself becomes normal.
00:37:04.239 --> 00:37:09.199
Number four, the future of longevity is moving incredibly fast.
00:37:09.440 --> 00:37:25.519
Gene therapy, regenerative medicine, AI, digital twins, and the idea of AI, of longevity escape velocity may sound like fiction, but there are scientists and entrepreneurs actively working on these things today.
00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:33.039
We don't know where this technology will take us, we don't know how it's going to work, how quickly it's going to arrive, but it's coming.
00:37:33.119 --> 00:37:38.800
And it gives us another reason to take care of ourselves now so we can be around to benefit from what comes next.
00:37:39.119 --> 00:37:43.920
Number five, a longer life only matters if it's a life worth living.
00:37:44.079 --> 00:37:46.400
For me, this was a huge lesson.
00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:51.760
There is no point in extending our life if we lose our humanity along the way.
00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:58.159
You know, James kept coming back to love, compassion, connection, peace, and our relationship with another, with one another.
00:37:58.400 --> 00:38:06.480
Longevity should not just be about adding years to life, it should be about adding life to those years.
00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:08.159

Because next week I'll be joined by Ian Lopetin.
00:39:31.119 --> 00:39:36.400
Ian is just an amazing story, and it's one I'm so excited to talk about.
00:39:36.559 --> 00:39:40.559
He is the founder of Spiritual Gangster.
00:39:40.880 --> 00:39:52.960
He went from working at the White House to becoming a lawyer to discovering yoga to opening his own studios, teaching all over the world, and building Spiritual Gangster into a brand worth tens of millions of dollars.
00:39:53.119 --> 00:40:07.280
We talk about entrepreneurship, spotting opportunities before they become mainstream, building movements instead of just businesses, how to create a community, trusting your instincts, and why Ian says some of his biggest wins came from not listening to the experts.
00:40:08.000 --> 00:40:09.679
Conversation took a deep run.
00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:19.119
Despite building businesses, achieving success, and creating what looked like from the outside an incredible life, Ian eventually found himself stressed, suffering, and trying to escape.
00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:26.719
That journey took him to India, into silence, sobriety, meditation, and a completely different way of understanding success.
00:40:26.880 --> 00:40:33.360
And in our next episode, we'll learn exactly what that is and dive into it together.
00:40:33.679 --> 00:40:34.960
My name is Daniel Wood.
00:40:35.039 --> 00:40:36.880
This is the Swedish Wealth Institute Podcast.
00:40:36.960 --> 00:40:40.880
Thank you for being here, and thank you for being on the journey with us.
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:04.879
It was devastating for me to see her vibrant woman dissipate in front of my eyes.
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:06.639
My mother was moving to comfort me.
00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:08.560
She says, Well, when you die and go to heaven.
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:10.880
And that didn't sound good to me that I had to die.
00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:14.880
So I immediately popped out of my mouth, why can't we have heaven here on Earth?
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:15.519
And so I did.
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:17.199
It was in it was in me after that.
00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:22.320
When I was in school, grade school, I wrote themes on it on how we could have unlimited life here on the planet.
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:24.000
We're subduing aging now.
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:27.440
We're able to slow down aging, but we really need to reverse aging.
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.000
And that's what this magnificent field is about now.
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:35.039
Super longevity is about not just keeping people healthy until they die or slowing aging.
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:43.759
It's about reversing aging, which I think within the next three to five years, we'll have a welcome to the Swedish Wealth Institute podcast.
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:44.960
My name is Danny Wood.
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:49.840
I am your host, and welcome to this amazing conversation with James Strole.
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:57.679
James has spent decades exploring health, longevity, and the possibility of radically extending the human lifespan.
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:09.280
He is the founder of People Unlimited, helped create the Coalition for Radic Life Extension, and has worked alongside scientists, doctors, and longevity pioneers from all over the world.
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:12.799
He's also the author of The Gospel of Longevity.
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:19.359
At 77 years old, James says he feels better than ever, and his will to live is stronger than ever.
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:23.120
I really appreciate you being with us here today at the Swedish Wealth Institute.
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:28.000
Our mission is to connect you with the right mentor at the right time for you to live your mission.
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:39.680
And I think it says a lot about who you are, that you're taking this time to learn, grow, work on yourself, and become 1% better every day, because that's exactly what this podcast is here to support.
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:46.719
I am really excited for this episode because we're going to get into the simple things that James believes we all can do now.
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:54.480
How do we improve our sleep, movement, sunlight, breathing, and taking care of your body every single day?
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:58.480
But what's cool is how far much further we're going to be going in the future.
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:11.599
We'll be talking gene therapy, radical life extension, longevity escape velocity, AI, digital twins, and some of the emerging technologies that James believes could completely change the way we think about aging.
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:17.360
It's not just about living longer, it's about what makes life worth living.
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:28.240
Because as our technology becomes more powerful, James believes we also have to develop our humanity, our compassion, our relationships, our sense of meaning, and our connection to one another.
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:36.800
So if you're interested in health, longevity, human potential, or where all of this technology may be taking us, you're gonna like this conversation.
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:38.319
Let's get into it.
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:46.719
Yeah, well, I'm really excited about what we're gonna talk about today.
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:53.680
I mean, I've am wildly interested in health and longevity myself, and obviously you are too.
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:55.039
So uh let's have some fun.
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:58.719
Tell give us a little bit about your background and how you got into longevity.
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:02.159
Okay, uh yeah, I'm I started at a very early age.
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:02.719
All right.
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:04.159
I was uh fortunate.
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:06.560
I had a uh mother who was into health.
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:09.599
That was back in the 60s, you know.
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:14.080
And not very many uh people at that time were that as health conscious as her.
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:20.879
In fact, my friends would come over and see all kinds of fresh juices and everything in the refrigerator and say, hey, where's the coke, you know?
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:21.840
Right.
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:22.319
Yeah.
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:28.000
And she did allow coke or anything like that in the house, and and I I contribute that a lot to my health today.
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:33.520
I'm healthy and and uh I was a lot of gratitude for my mother kind of helping lead the way in that.
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:45.840
Uh but when I really got interested in, you know, longevity is when, you know, uh eleven years old, my uh mu my grandmother died of cancer, and I was very close to her and uh she lived with us.
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:57.280
And it was devastating for me to see her just this vibrant woman just uh you know, dissipate, just just you know deteriorate, you know, uh in front of my eyes.
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:01.039
And it was a bad it was a tense experience for her as a young boy.
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:06.639
And I think all of us as human beings, we have these experiences one time or another that traumatizes us.
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:11.840
And I and so when she actually died, I said to my mother, when do I get to see grandma again?
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:12.400
You know?
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:14.719
And my mother was moving to comfort me.
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.600
She says, Well, when you die and go to heaven, you know?
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:22.000
And that didn't sound good to me that I had to die to have time to do that.
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:25.519
So I immediately popped out of my mouth, why can't we have heaven here on earth?
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:31.600
You know, why can't we create an environment that you know and my mother was kind of shocked and she says, Oh, that's a good thought.
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:33.120
Why don't you follow that thought?
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:34.000
And so I did.
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:35.680
It was in it was in me after that.
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:42.000
When I was in school, grade school, I wrote themes on it on how we could have, you know, unlimited life here on the planet.
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:46.240
You know, my teachers would come and say, Oh, wow, that's really interesting, you know.
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:48.319
And some of them would go, Well, where are you going with this?
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:50.800
You know, and but I wrote, I just was in me.
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:59.920
And I think you know, and we when you have something like that that's uh you know meaningful in yourself, you draw other people to you, you know, that have those same interests.
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.040
So that's what happened.
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:17.519
I, you know, went through high school, college, and then I met in 1968 uh the partners that I worked for uh with for uh almost 40 years, uh Charles Paul Brown and Bernard Dean, who were then at that time speaking on unlimited lifespans, the possibility of it.
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:20.480
That was in 1968 when I met them, you know.
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:27.439
And that was exciting for me because that's what I was looking for, someone who was, you know, really talking the talk and walking the walk.
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:30.800
So they're very healthy, they were into all kinds of good things.
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:37.199
And uh so I got involved with them and to help, you know, push the envelope and uh the cause.
00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:54.879
And I actually got kind of on the I'm a I'm uh uh also an entrepreneur and I had experience in business, so I helped uh you know fund the program by working in different uh fields of uh income and traveled all helped them travel all over the country and we developed quite a community doing that.
00:05:55.040 --> 00:06:06.800
And eventually we were invited overseas to speak, and then went to 26 different countries, you know, several continents, speaking on unlimited lifespans, and and uh yeah, that's that's how I got started.
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:08.720
And it was been it's been a fantastic journey.
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:18.399
Now in 2014, uh well, first I should say in 1995, Bern D and I created a company that we still have, I still have here called People Unlimited.
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:26.879
It's a community of unlimited of people that are looking for unlimited lifespans and and the science and and the uh inspiration for it.
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.600
And we have quite a great community here in Scottsdale.
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:34.160
And then in 2014, I uh went out to the longevity community.
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:36.480
I mean, a lot of scientists and doctors, Dr.
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:38.399
Bill Andrews, Aubrey de Gray, Dr.
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:43.839
Bell Falloon of Life Extension Foundation, with an idea of forming a coalition for radical life extension.
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.240
They loved it, so we formed this together.
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:52.160
And then in 2016, we launched it with a uh the biggest super longevity event in the world called Radfest.
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:57.839
In fact, we just finished Radfest two weeks ago here in Scottsdale at Talking Stick Resort.
00:06:58.000 --> 00:06:59.519
It was a ma it was an amazing time.
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:01.040
I had about a thousand people there.
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:08.079
And so this has been you know my journey, and that's and I wrote a book here about it called The Gospel, the Gospel of Longevity.
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:21.600
It's my journey, and I encourage people to read it, not because I I want to sell books, just to sell books, but it's because it's a journey that I think will help anybody in the longevity flow, you know, and uh because it's a challenging uh, you know, uh walk.
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:25.600
Uh it's more than just what we think of just, you know, thinking we're gonna live a long time.
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:28.560
We want to we want to live with a long time with vitality and strength.
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:30.959
So that this book is about how to do that.
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:42.079
You know, I'm 77 now, uh, you know, years on the planet, and I feel better never, and my my will to live is stronger than ever, which is a real key thing, I think, because people lose their will many times.
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:44.319
They want to live, but they lose their will to live.
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:47.360
And my will is stronger than ever, and I write about that in this book.
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:50.560
So that's that's kind of the short the short story.
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:51.759
I I love that.
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:58.480
And I mean, I I loved what you said there as an 11-year-old that you know, why don't we have heaven here on earth?
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:00.959
That that was that was really beautiful.
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.279
And so now what is what is power what what is possible?
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:11.759
I mean, a lot of people talk about biohacking and they talk about longevity, but what does that mean in practice?
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:23.120
Like how if if I start adopting these things, and we'll talk about the things we need to start thinking about in our daily lives and and the techniques, but what what kind of an impact can it actually have?
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:34.159
Well, it can have an amazing impact, and this is something that this message that I want to get out to people that right now there's many modalities and therapies that are tremendous to keep you alive.
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:39.279
As you know, Ray Kerswell has said, you know, stay alive long enough to live forever.
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:45.200
Uh because these exponentially these new therapies and innovations are coming across faster and faster at all the time.
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:56.159
And now there's therapies that that you know, Life Extinction Foundation, many other organizations now have helped, you know, put on the table that can keep us healthy until the next innovation comes along.
00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:56.960
So that's the idea.
00:08:57.120 --> 00:08:57.919
That's what I do.
00:08:58.080 --> 00:08:59.919
You know, I I do different therapies.
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:09.360
I I don't do there's there's a lot of things I don't do because they're not you know, I wouldn't advise anybody just to throw a bunch of stuff then and them because somebody's selling it.
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:10.080
You know?
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:29.360
Uh I think you have to be prudent in that and you know, check with your doctor and and there's a lot of ways now to uh and a lot of great enthusiasts, uh biohackers, like you said, that have you know gotten uh very pertinent information uh and share it to uh help guide you along the way.
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:30.879
Also, that's what my book is about too.
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:41.120
I have a whole chapter in the book, What I Do, you know, er every day and uh what I've done and uh how people can stay vibrant, you know, and and help heal conditions.
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:51.679
I mean, there's not really very few conditions that can't be healed today, or at least put into you might say, submission that uh you can stay alive and and vibrant.
00:09:51.919 --> 00:10:00.240
So this is important for people to know to step out of just a traditional I'm I'm grateful for traditional medicine, but at the same time, it doesn't have all the answers.
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:03.759
And now new answers are coming, and we all need to be privy of them.
00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:08.720
Yeah, I I think I had a conversation here a while back with one of my friends.
00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:11.840
She's uh she's a specialist nurse here in Sweden.
00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:21.679
And what was interesting is we actually call health care sick care in Sweden, which which is actually very, you know, very true.
00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:26.480
It's not about you know being proactive and trying to fix things before they come out.
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:32.080
It's you just got sick, let's try to fix, let's you know, fix those symptoms.
00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:36.879
And and I thought that was a very cool, I'd never thought of it that way, but that's actually what it's called.
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:37.679
It's sick care.
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:39.919
Yeah, that's what we call it here too, in the States.
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:41.279
Absolutely, absolutely.
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:43.919
And a lot of the doctor friends of mine call it that.
00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:55.120
They know they know that the tools they have for health overall is just to, you know, kind of try to, you know, pacify the sick situation that people are in or patch it up.
00:10:55.200 --> 00:11:04.159
And and many of them, you know, don't that's why several of my doctor friends have stepped out of that arena to utilize some of the new innovations like peptides.
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:13.360
I I was in an event recently that these doctors that were in there, it was all about peptides, and these doctors are so excited because they said, Finally, we have some things in our toolbox.
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:17.200
You know, so many of these doctors, contrary to what some people think, really care.
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:19.360
You know, they got in the profession, they want to help.
00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:24.559
But but they've gotten discouraged because of the lack of uh of uh tools they have to do that.
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:27.039
You know, it's been about, like you say, sick care.
00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:34.080
So now they have some tools and they're and they were saying, Oh my god, I can actually help people, you know, and so it's a beautiful thing.
00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:34.720
Yeah.
00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:36.159
So so share with us.
00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:37.279
What do you do?
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:40.639
What's a start with what's a normal day like?
00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:46.559
What are the things you can do daily, and then we'll talk about the more experimental peptides and cool stuff.
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:46.960
Yeah.
00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:54.960
A lot of people worry that, and you probably heard it too, that oh, this is not this this new you know, longevity medicine is only for the wealthy or people who can afford it.
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:56.080
Well, here's the reality.
00:11:56.159 --> 00:12:02.240
There's so many things, so many things you can do right now that really don't cost money or very little money, okay?
00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:05.679
And that's what I describe in my in my chapter in this book.
00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:15.200
I you know, I I I have probably I probably have about 40 different, you know, longevity uh exercises and different you know things I do.
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:22.639
I mix them up during the day, but every day, you know, you should make you should be waking up in the morning first of all and going, how can I energize myself today?
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:30.159
Because we're so used to de-energizing ourselves, being these worker bees, that slave in a in a system, you know, that for survival.
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:32.240
So we should be waking up, and that's what I do.
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:37.679
I wake up in the morning, I I go out, you know, we're we're in sunny Arizona here, so most of the time we have sun.
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:45.039
You know, I'll step out and I'll salute the sun, you know, be grateful for being alive, let the warmth of the sun, you know, hit my body.
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:52.240
That's important because you're you're waking up then, first of all, it's very good for your rhythm, your your sleep rhythms, uh, etc.
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:55.919
Uh it's it's the sun nourishes our body, vitamin D, etc.
00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:57.519
There's so many benefits to the sun.
00:12:57.600 --> 00:13:01.600
I mean, you don't want to bake in the sun, obviously, all the time, but but you need to get sun, all right?
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:03.200
Uh and there's other ways too to do that.
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:08.080
But so then uh I I'm I'm moving my body uh all the time.
00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:10.639
The sitting is the new smoking, right?
00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:20.080
Too much sitting uh, you know, it gets us, it sends messages to our body that that we're becoming you know dormant, you know, and and we need to keep moving in our bodies.
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:26.720
Like we're sitting here now, you know, and uh if I'm if I'm gonna sit here more than you in an hour with you, I'll stand up.
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:29.440
So I'm gonna move my body or I'll wiggle my feet, you know.
00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:31.279
So movement is is vital.
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:33.279
Yeah, I I love that.
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:36.879
I mean, you I don't know if you see, but I'm actually standing standing up.
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:38.320
I got a standing desk.
00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:42.480
And most of the time when I have meetings, I actually have my treadmill.
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:44.399
So I'm walking at a slow pace.
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:47.679
So I'm you know, I'm I'm never sitting still working.
00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:48.399
Good for you.
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:48.960
Good for you.
00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:49.840
This is very important.
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:51.600
So then the question there's sleep.
00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:53.519
What is that doesn't cost us anything, right?
00:13:53.679 --> 00:14:01.759
We know we know that sleep, that sleep is probably the number one longevity you could do, you know, outside of new innovations that are gonna be coming.
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:12.080
What do you say to people, because I I I try to sleep nine hours a night, but I have a lot of friends who happily sleep, you know, four to six hours a night.
00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:14.480
What what what do you say about sleep optimization?
00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:16.320
Well, you just said the key word happily.
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:20.799
They're the program that that's okay to do, you know, and and that's how our society was built.
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:22.799
But I that's part of what I'm saying.
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:29.360
We we adhere to a system that wants us to be, you know, always working at something.
00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:33.600
I've heard people from my friends used to brag, yeah, I only get four or six hours of sleep and I'm still going.
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:39.440
Well, they didn't look very good, and and and and and half the half the time they were sleeping while they were on the job, you know.
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:44.559
But most of all, they're they're they're they're not nourishing the regeneration of their cells, all right?
00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:45.679
Even though they think they are.
00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:46.159
They're not.
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:51.600
They're gonna have their their lifespan normally is gonna be shorter, and it's not gonna be it's not gonna look good.
00:14:51.759 --> 00:15:03.039
They're gonna they're gonna whether they realize it or not, what you do now, especially at younger ages, you're you're setting the pace for what you're gonna feel uh as you as you get older, because you're gonna have those challenges and you're and you're wearing your body down.
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:11.120
So sleep is a regenerative time, you know, and we need, you know, a minimum seven hours, you know, uh up to I think you said you sleep nine.
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:13.759
You know, I sleep, I sleep on average eight.
00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:23.600
And and if you know, and when you sleep good, and and there's all kinds of ways, I think some people don't sleep very good, they have insomnia or they wake up a lot or whatever.
00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:26.159
There's ways to change that, you know, now.
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:28.559
Uh there's really powerful sleep studies that are.
00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:30.000
How can you change that?
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:34.480
If you have trouble falling asleep or you wake up a lot, like what what can you do?
00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:39.360
Well, okay, so I would I would recommend, first of all, there's really powerful sleep studies.
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:40.960
I'm sure you have some there.
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:43.519
We have an individual that spoke here at this Radfest.
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:45.039
It's a very simple study.
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:55.840
Puts a we have a ring you wear uh uh for four or five nights, it studies your sleep, and then he can dial it in with everything from uh as naturally as possible.
00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:57.279
This guy is amazing.
00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:00.480
I can actually send you that information if you like for your friends.
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:01.039
Please.
00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:05.600
But yeah, we'll we can link to it in the show notes because I'm sure everyone listening would love to see that.
00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:06.399
Yeah, yeah.
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:07.840
It's a very powerful thing to do.
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:17.600
Uh, but alongside that, before that study even came along, as you mature, you know, your sleeps your sleeping get worse based on based on what's ever going on in your body.
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:19.600
So I've used melatonin.
00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:20.879
Uh you can dial that in.
00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:23.440
Some people works for them and some people not.
00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:29.840
But if you dial, you have to dial sleeping is a process that I've experienced that you have to dial in.
00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:35.840
It's not just a matter of, oh, I'm going to take three milligrams of uh melatonin and sleep good.
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:44.320
You might you might not sleep good, or you might wake up drawgy, you know, and so you have to maybe take less or you, you know, in combinations.
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:49.840
Uh I also take GABA at night, thionine, L-thionine, and different combinations.
00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:55.440
And I've dialed in in a way that now I I I have a I have a I have a whoop, you know, that I wear.
00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:58.879
I've also had had a uh aura ring that I've worn.
00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:01.600
I've worn them both at the same time to see which is the best for me.
00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:03.200
I like the whoop for me.
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:10.240
Uh but but now I've dialed in my sleep in a way that, you know, my whoops, I I get I get great recoveries, great sleep, you know.
00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:16.559
And but it's taken it took me a little period of time to actually dial that in in a way that works for me.
00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:29.920
But you can do these different combinations of of you know natural remedies that can get you there instead of taking ambient or other drugs that you don't really get s good sleep with with these pharmaceutical drugs for sleep.
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:34.160
They're they're really they're really detrimental to your to your health and your sleep overall.
00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:37.680
You know, ambient after a while can cause a lot of anxiety in your body.
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:50.640
So if you be patient with yourself if you don't have sleep, you know, and move to diode in, there's all kinds of good information how to do that uh out there and and follow that trend, you'll you'll get there to where you need to get that sleep that you need.
00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:51.599
Nice, nice.
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:51.920
All right.
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:54.799
So what what else do you do in a day?
00:17:55.680 --> 00:18:00.160
Well, I I'm I'm uh doing different longevity exercises all day.
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:03.680
Everything from different stretches I do to breathing.
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:04.400
All right.
00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:12.799
We we have a tendency also to breathe shallow, you know, because we're you know feeling the stress for the day or we're focused on something.
00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:14.799
Most people breathe very shallow.
00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:19.359
Uh I do breathing exercises through the day, you know, uh very important.
00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:26.400
Uh I do I then as far as I do swimming, I have a swimming pool here, red sa uh red infrared sauna.
00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:30.480
Uh I have uh several different modalities here in my home, uh infrared lights.
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:39.519
The the the uh pro I'm sorry, the it's called a it's called a uh beamer, a beamer, which is uh impulse uh pulse bed of electro electromagnetic pulses.
00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:52.000
I have a I'm I'm fortunate just down the street, about 10 minutes from me, I have a uh health spa there that has a numerous amount of different uh modalities I go to three or four times a week.
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:56.799
It's inexpensive in that context when you compare it to the health benefits.
00:18:57.039 --> 00:19:03.680
So I'm constantly doing so many different therapies that that uh but you know I've incorporated it in my life.
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:05.440
Some people say, well, where do you get the time?
00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:08.000
Well, you know, that's a key thing too.
00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:11.839
We we are constantly running on the run on most human beings.
00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:14.400
And we go, well, how do we get the time to really take care of our bodies?
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:19.920
You incorporate it into your life, and eventually it becomes a part of your life and and you and you and it becomes enjoyable.
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:22.960
And you it doesn't take away from your work the work you have to do.
00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:27.839
In fact, it it it benefits you to get that work done because it energizes you as you go along the way.
00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:28.640
Right.
00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:44.079
And so let's let's talk about the the things that are happening going forward now, like the the more kind of creative the you know, the things that aren't doing breath work at home, but where you might go to a doctor or treatments or special supplements.
00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:47.759
What what's yeah what's what are you seeing as the cutting edge right now?
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:54.079
Well, uh I'm I'm I'm looking forward to the gene therapy field right now because I think like uh Dr.
00:19:54.160 --> 00:20:00.880
Bill Andrews of Sierra Sciences has got a gene therapy, for example, that can uh that's been proven in the lab.
00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:04.799
All right, he's just waiting now for human trials, and this is very exciting, right?
00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:08.079
This gene therapy has the potential to reverse aging.
00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:10.240
Uh, and that's a key thing what we want, right?
00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:14.799
We're we're we're we're subduing aging now, we're able to slow down aging, okay?
00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:20.240
But we really need to reverse aging, and that's what this magnificent field is about now.
00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:22.319
Uh that's what Radfest is about.
00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:24.880
It's about super longevity, which is different than longevity.
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:33.039
Super longevity is about not just keeping people healthy until they die or or slowing aging, it's about reversing aging.
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:36.400
And so this gene therapy now uh that Dr.
00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:46.799
Bill Andrews is working on, and anybody who wants to look that up and go to Sierra Sciences, Google that, and they can see what's being done there, it's phenomenal and it's uh it's real.
00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:57.359
And he's just now waiting for the human trials and money to to do that, uh, which I think within the next three to five years, we'll have a gene therapy, for example, that can possibly reverse the aging.
00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:01.920
You could be 90 years chronologically and 25 biologically.
00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:03.119
That's the potential of this.
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:06.880
And even if it worked only 50%, that's a big benefit.
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:09.039
And so that's a very exciting field.
00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:27.200
Then there's then there's uh Bill Bill Falun, the Life Institute Foundation, who's now working with uh with monkeys uh in a longevity test uh with uh clotho and a combination of other pharmaceuticals and and natural ingredients that uh are actually reversing monkeys, these monkeys age significantly.
00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:31.839
And he's gonna be putting out that data more here in the next year to complete the study.
00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:38.000
And so that's exciting because clotho is something that can really, you know, change the equation in our aging.
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:42.000
I see, and the scientists I work with see aging as a curable disease.
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:51.359
This is important to get because we need to understand that we're really we're really built as human beings to continuously regenerate in the right environment.
00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:54.400
But we create a an environment that's not conducive to that.
00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:59.759
And that's and this is what we're about now is creating an environment both with uh new innovation.
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:08.160
Innovations that are coming out and and with with our mindset that we're changing our mindset around aging, that we it's not inevitable that we have to die.
00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:10.480
It's not inevitable that we have to get sick.
00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:17.839
Uh really our true, I'll say, ability and and power that we have in us is to continually regenerate.
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:21.680
But but but we do but we've been in an environment that's not been complementary to that.
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:22.960
Wow, that's really cool.
00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:25.680
I mean it's so exciting all the things that are happening now.
00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:28.160
And and what what do you see as like coming?
00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:31.359
What's what's the next phase of of things that are coming out?
00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:41.519
Well, uh Ray Kirstwell, who is the considered the Edison of the new Edison of, you know, this uh g US and and is known around the world for all of his innovations.
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:47.599
Uh he's also kind of a grandfather, you might say, of of longevity, and he's uh been to Radfest many times speaking.
00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:50.480
Uh tremendous person, he's saying now.
00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:56.240
And I I don't know how many people are aware of him, but most of his predictions have come true that he's predicted.
00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:59.680
He predicted AI coming to the two scene now, which is has.
00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:01.920
He's working with Google now on AI.
00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:04.240
Uh he's a genius uh in his own right.
00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:15.599
And he's saying now that in 2032 we will reach the singularity, which means that uh we'll re we'll reach uh longevity escape velocity uh velocity.
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:21.359
We will be then uh regenerating faster than we're de faster than we're aging.
00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:22.640
So this is exciting.
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:39.839
Uh because singularity is about where the combination of the body and science and and and innovations come together and and the you know join uh you might say join forces where uh we become well one thing that he expressed is that we could be uploaded in the cloud.
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:47.279
And he he uses the expression that we're all living a virtual life anyway, because people worry, oh well, that's you know, I don't want to be used up by the cloud, I don't want to be a robot.
00:23:47.359 --> 00:24:01.680
Well, we don't want to be robots, but at the same at the same time, he said there's a ability to experience actually immortality, you know, by by being able to combine the uh innovations that are here with the human body.
00:24:01.920 --> 00:24:07.920
And so that's exciting because we're we need to get away from uh any limitation in our bodies.
00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:14.079
And this is this is this is a this is particularly exciting because we're gonna be able to do things as human beings that we've never done before.
00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:20.000
But it's very important, I want to I want to add here, it's very important that we actually develop our humanity at the same time.
00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:40.240
Because with AI right now, for example, you know, uh it's been known that a fear, one fear is that we will uh d develop technology the technology that will could destroy ourselves, you know, because we use our all of our technology has been used many times for war and and and against you know defense and and against each other.
00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:46.319
So we need to develop our humanity in a way that we uh are valuing our life here like never before.
00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:48.960
And we're we're not destroying each other.
00:24:49.119 --> 00:24:56.240
Uh and this is so important and now technologically because we're much more advanced technologically than we right now than we are our humanity.
00:24:56.400 --> 00:25:04.160
So I'm really a lot about you know developing our humanity at the same time so we could actually benefit from all these new innovations without destroying ourselves.
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:15.359
So so how I for me, I think uh a big question is around the the singularity and and really what that is, how that's going to work.
00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:21.119
Because obviously a lot of people talk about it as simply uploading your brain to the cloud.
00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:21.680
Yes.
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:35.920
But the question there, it it kind of, you know, f the in science fiction, right, they they talk about transporting and stuff, and what you do is essentially you destroy the human in one place and then you create a new one over here.
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:37.599
Is it actually the same person?
00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:43.920
And the same thing if we upload my brain, is it actually me or is it just a AI simulation?
00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:49.680
Well, yeah, I mean the Ray uh Ray Chris was written a great book on this, you know.
00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:54.799
Uh it's called uh Sing Singularity, uh the the New Singularity, the n his latest book.
00:25:55.039 --> 00:26:04.960
And uh it's uh it's about that uh again, he said the biggest threat is that we lose our humanity, you know, because of the because of how we were advancing so fast.
00:26:05.359 --> 00:26:08.720
And so you know that that's a a great question though.
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:12.480
Do we do we you know who we who are we really?
00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:22.720
Now, for example, right now I at this uh event we just had Radfast, uh there's a company there called Praxis, they're an AI company, and they created a digital twin of me.
00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:23.920
Right.
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:28.960
And and this digital twin I got, they've uploaded everything into him, okay.
00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:30.640
It's called James Unlimited.
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:32.640
Uh I can I'll send you if you like.
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:33.680
Yeah, please.
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:37.440
When it comes out, I'll send you my digital twin so you can take a look at it.
00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:38.400
It's pretty amazing.
00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:40.960
You can talk to it just like you're talking to me.
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:43.200
He speaks every language, you know.
00:26:43.599 --> 00:26:52.079
And the benefit from me and this, okay, is that now I can send him around the world, duplicated, you know, to get the message out I want to get.
00:26:52.480 --> 00:27:05.039
Because he and and you know, he he he's able to bring two things to the thought together so quickly and and accumulate thoughts so quick that that it's it's amazing to talk with him and people can come up and talk to him in any language.
00:27:05.440 --> 00:27:15.680
So so I found myself when you talk about you know you know who who am I now, I find myself actually getting jealous about him because he could do more than I could do.
00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:21.839
And so I was I was laughing about it, and but then I realized that to the same time, how what a great tool, you know.
00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:28.240
But the key of this, the key thing is here that this this digital twin does not have a soul.
00:27:28.640 --> 00:27:29.119
All right.
00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:34.160
Yeah, and and and then and this is where we need to develop our soul more.
00:27:34.319 --> 00:28:05.359
We do we as human beings have have dismissed because we've been in this environment of survival, our our soul and our soul contact with ourselves and one another, to really bring about the true humanity of us, and that's gonna ensure us to our identity of who we are, that and and and and distinction between you know uh the AI, you know, dig twins or or digital examples of ourselves or displays of ourselves, between uh that and and who we are as individuals and human beings that have a soul.
00:28:05.519 --> 00:28:08.160
But we haven't we we've disregarded our soul.
00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:09.920
And that that's what my book is about, too.
00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:11.519
How to get in touch with your soul.
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:12.559
And what does that mean?
00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:34.000
Not just, I'm not talking about some religious concept, I'm talking about longevity, the so that the soul, that primal screen in us to lie to be alive and that humanity we have that can feel compassion and love that that that a digital AI duplicate cannot do, you know, and that and that gives us the power over this the the this technology.
00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:41.279
And otherwise we're gonna be subject to it and we're gonna be we're gonna be outsmarted, you know, and we're not even we're gonna lose ourselves in that.
00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:45.039
And and this is so important not to lose ourselves in in this world.
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:59.759
But many people are lost already, you know, and that's why I I also wrote this book because there's a there's a human need right now, uh, because of everything that's happening, you know, more than ever, uh, to get in touch with this the the humanity of ourselves.
00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:00.480
Right.
00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:03.839
And and so what what are your thoughts?
00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:06.000
What what do you think is going to happen there?
00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:07.599
What are what are your beliefs?
00:29:08.400 --> 00:29:20.960
Well, I I I think that uh we're going to uh face some challenges that we already are, and they're gonna be extend I think we're probably gonna get stronger challenges than than than than sooner than than we think.
00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:21.519
All right.
00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:35.599
I think they're gonna get things are gonna get you know tougher on that level until we, as human beings, you know, qu stop, you know, in our survival mode and you know, using these things to for greed, all right.
00:29:35.680 --> 00:29:41.440
Now I heard a talk the other day on AI that was very interesting by an individual who worked for an A AI company for a long time.
00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:42.400
Now he's in charge.
00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:50.559
Uh he's CEO of a company that's moving to slow the A the AI down some, telling them, hey, let's take it, let's slow it down a little bit.
00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:55.839
He's encouraging everybody so that we don't, you know, create something that destroys us.
00:29:56.079 --> 00:30:07.440
Now, I heard an astrophysicist the other day, all right, speak, and he said, you know, most likely in our galaxy, there there's a good chance, he said, that there were other planets that had life on it, all right?
00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:20.400
And but their technology got so so uh advanced that their their own humanity, you know, or or their own intelligence could not handle that technology and they and they exploded their planet up.
00:30:20.640 --> 00:30:24.720
He said, this is the this is a possibility that could happen here in this world, all right?
00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:55.039
If if we're not in touch with uh our our our intelligence as human beings and our humanity, we'll end up from the greed, like these companies is that this guy said who's talking about AI, he said, these companies, some of them are so bent on you know just moving, moving, moving to create AI, and a lot of us out of greed, unfortunately, and they're not they're dismissing the the destructive forces that could happen, you know, in this advancement, that we have to get back and go, okay, what are we really creating here?
00:30:55.200 --> 00:31:14.960
And so so this is a very important thing that we and our in each other that we are not happy, we're in this destructive force that's in us, uh, that we realize how vital human life is, and we move in every way to to survive and to live uh and to make the human being the most vital component of of our of this world.
00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:15.920
I like that.
00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:20.559
Yeah, I mean there's no point to living longer if it's not gonna be a good life anyway.
00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:21.599
Exactly.
00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:22.799
Exactly.
00:31:23.119 --> 00:31:23.440
Yeah.
00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:23.920
All right.
00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:26.079
Are you ready for a rapid-fired round?
00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:26.880
Yeah.
00:31:27.039 --> 00:31:28.400
I just want another comment on that.
00:31:28.559 --> 00:31:29.680
Who wants to live in a world?
00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:36.240
Yeah, who wants to live in a world that we're constantly trying to kill each other or survival like we're doing now?
00:31:36.799 --> 00:31:41.839
I've had people tell me right off the bat when I talk to you about unlimited lifespans, they'll say, Oh, I'm ready to get out of here.
00:31:42.079 --> 00:31:43.359
You know, it's too stressful.
00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:48.160
It's too, you know, they they they've they've they've created some life after death that they think could be better.
00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:57.599
You know, I'm saying that's where I come back and go, hey, we could have heaven and here on earth if we're all pool together and we'll and we'll get in touch with our soul and create this humanity that we really need to have.
00:31:58.240 --> 00:31:58.559
Yeah.
00:31:58.799 --> 00:32:01.279
I mean, that would just be so much more beautiful, right?
00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:01.680
Yeah.
00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:04.640
We could all live in heaven now.
00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:05.440
100%.
00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:06.319
100%.
00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:08.240
So that's what I'm after.
00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:09.759
Yeah, well, let's do it.
00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:10.240
All right.
00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:11.359
Rapid fire round.
00:32:11.599 --> 00:32:12.240
Rapid fire.
00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:16.160
What is what is one belief about aging you'd delete?
00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:18.480
Uh that you have to be decrepit.
00:32:18.720 --> 00:32:19.200
Nice.
00:32:19.519 --> 00:32:22.799
What is one longevity trend that is overhyped?
00:32:23.279 --> 00:32:23.680
Wow.
00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:25.920
There's a few of them overhyped.
00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:34.799
Uh maybe taking too many things at one time, taking too many therapies at one time, thinking that's gonna you know, the the faster you get there, the better you are.
00:32:34.880 --> 00:32:36.720
You you we dump too much stuff in us.
00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:39.119
We're not allowing the body to generate.
00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:40.079
Yeah.
00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:44.079
What is one thing worth doing decades earlier?
00:32:44.640 --> 00:32:45.039
Wow.
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:46.079
Uh sleep.
00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:47.039
Good sleep.
00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:48.160
Good sleep.
00:32:48.400 --> 00:32:53.359
What's one fear about longer lifespans that you consider legitimate?
00:32:53.759 --> 00:32:55.039
Uh running out of money.
00:32:55.680 --> 00:32:57.279
It's a part of that heaven on earth, right?
00:32:57.440 --> 00:32:58.960
Getting rid of that stress as well.
00:32:59.359 --> 00:33:00.000
Yes.
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:05.200
What's one thing you never want technology to remove from being human?
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:06.799
Our soul.
00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:10.640
That kind of leads to this last one here, but finish this sentence.
00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:17.519
A longer life is pointless without the the passion and love of one another and peace on this earth.
00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:18.640
Awesome.
00:33:18.880 --> 00:33:20.559
So, James, how can we connect with you?
00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:22.000
How can we learn more from you?
00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:23.599
Where can we find your book?
00:33:24.079 --> 00:33:25.519
Okay, so that people can go.
00:33:25.680 --> 00:33:28.960
The easiest way is just go on Amazon and order it there.
00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:32.160
It's uh I think it's running out$15 on there.
00:33:32.400 --> 00:33:34.960
I wrote this book uh in a very condensed form.
00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:37.599
It's not filled with a lot of fluff, it's right to the point.
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:40.559
Uh and I think people will really benefit from reading it.
00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:44.640
And and and they can contact me at w peopleunlimited.com.
00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:46.240
Uh, that's a company here I have.
00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:48.160
Just look just Google People Unlimited.
00:33:48.240 --> 00:33:51.200
You'll see our events that can actually we have events twice a week.
00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:52.559
People can come on all over the world.
00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:53.839
We have a streaming setup.
00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:57.920
So they can come in and just, you know, be in the conversation, talk to me.
00:33:58.079 --> 00:34:04.960
Uh my contact information is on that website, People Unlimited, and I'm always happy to speak to anybody and hear their feedback.
00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:08.559
Uh, if they order the book and read it, they can come online and talk about it.
00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:12.000
Uh, it's a great thing that we have these meetings, uh, both online and in person.
00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:12.880
Nice.
00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:16.239
And we'll link to all those things in the show notes.
00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:18.559
And the book's called Gospel of Longevity, just to be clear.
00:34:18.719 --> 00:34:20.719
People say, oh, gospel, is that a religious book?
00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:22.239
No, gospel is good news.
00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:23.440
It's a Greek word.
00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:32.159
You know, as it's a funny thing that, of course, we identify gospel with religion a lot of people, but the gospel, this word gospel was actually created before Christianity or anything.
00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:35.039
But but uh yeah, it's good news about longevity.
00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:36.320
Nice.
00:34:36.719 --> 00:34:40.000
So any final words of wisdom before we let you leave?
00:34:40.719 --> 00:34:41.840
Well, I'll say this.
00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:48.639
We're we're we're all divine human beings, but we haven't experienced let ourselves experience that divinity, and it can take us into a whole new world.
00:34:48.719 --> 00:34:51.199
And and that's real that we can have heaven here and earth.
00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:57.119
But but but not but not without being able to really get in contact with ourselves and each other like we never had before.
00:34:57.280 --> 00:35:01.519
So I want to wish everybody the best and uh and many blessings to all of you.
00:35:01.840 --> 00:35:02.320
Awesome.
00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:04.079
James, thank you so much for joining us.
00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:05.280
I really appreciate it.
00:35:05.599 --> 00:35:06.639
Thank you so much.
00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:10.239
Thank you so much for joining us in this conversation with James Strolley.
00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:14.400
I really appreciate you taking the time to listen, to learn, and to work on yourself.
00:35:14.559 --> 00:35:17.440
And I think you should acknowledge yourself for that.
00:35:17.679 --> 00:35:20.480
Because if you're still here, it means you're serious about your growth.
00:35:20.559 --> 00:35:22.719
You're not just listening to interesting ideas.
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:26.159
You want to take something from this and actually use it in your life.
00:35:26.400 --> 00:35:28.239
Now, this is my favorite part of the show.
00:35:28.400 --> 00:35:36.320
Me and the Swedish Wealth Institute team have gone through this this interview and broken it down into five key takeaways that you can implement right away.
00:35:36.480 --> 00:35:39.679
Because in the end, that's how we become 1% better every day.
00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:41.840
So the five takeaways from this episode.
00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:46.400
Number one, longevity starts with wanting to live.
00:35:46.639 --> 00:35:51.679
So one of the important things that I think James was talking about is you have to want to live.
00:35:51.840 --> 00:35:55.920
At 77, he talks about his will to live being stronger than ever.
00:35:56.079 --> 00:36:01.840
Yo, you can talk supplements, therapies, technology, and all the exciting things happening in longevity.
00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:05.519
But underneath all that is a much more fundamental question.
00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:08.400
Are you still excited about being alive?
00:36:08.480 --> 00:36:11.840
And are you building a life that you actually want more of?
00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:17.039
Number two, start with the fundamentals before chasing the cutting edge.
00:36:17.199 --> 00:36:30.000
James talked about some amazing technology, but some of his most important recommendations were the simplest: sleep, sunlight, movement, breathing, taking care of your body just consistently.
00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:35.519
You don't need to access experimental technology to start investing in your health today.
00:36:35.760 --> 00:36:41.920
Number three, make health part of your life instead of adding it as something on your to-do list.
00:36:42.239 --> 00:36:43.840
So James does this really well.
00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:48.880
He does a lot of things for his health, but he doesn't see those as interruptions to his life.
00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:51.360
They're integrated into how he lives.
00:36:51.519 --> 00:36:54.480
And that's probably the more sustainable way to approach health.
00:36:54.719 --> 00:37:04.000
Not constantly asking where are you going to find the extra time, but gradually designing your life in a way that taking care of yourself becomes normal.
00:37:04.239 --> 00:37:09.199
Number four, the future of longevity is moving incredibly fast.
00:37:09.440 --> 00:37:25.519
Gene therapy, regenerative medicine, AI, digital twins, and the idea of AI, of longevity escape velocity may sound like fiction, but there are scientists and entrepreneurs actively working on these things today.
00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:33.039
We don't know where this technology will take us, we don't know how it's going to work, how quickly it's going to arrive, but it's coming.
00:37:33.119 --> 00:37:38.800
And it gives us another reason to take care of ourselves now so we can be around to benefit from what comes next.
00:37:39.119 --> 00:37:43.920
Number five, a longer life only matters if it's a life worth living.
00:37:44.079 --> 00:37:46.400
For me, this was a huge lesson.
00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:51.760
There is no point in extending our life if we lose our humanity along the way.
00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:58.159
You know, James kept coming back to love, compassion, connection, peace, and our relationship with another, with one another.
00:37:58.400 --> 00:38:06.480
Longevity should not just be about adding years to life, it should be about adding life to those years.
00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:08.159

Because next week I'll be joined by Ian Lopetin.
00:39:31.119 --> 00:39:36.400
Ian is just an amazing story, and it's one I'm so excited to talk about.
00:39:36.559 --> 00:39:40.559
He is the founder of Spiritual Gangster.
00:39:40.880 --> 00:39:52.960
He went from working at the White House to becoming a lawyer to discovering yoga to opening his own studios, teaching all over the world, and building Spiritual Gangster into a brand worth tens of millions of dollars.
00:39:53.119 --> 00:40:07.280
We talk about entrepreneurship, spotting opportunities before they become mainstream, building movements instead of just businesses, how to create a community, trusting your instincts, and why Ian says some of his biggest wins came from not listening to the experts.
00:40:08.000 --> 00:40:09.679
Conversation took a deep run.
00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:19.119
Despite building businesses, achieving success, and creating what looked like from the outside an incredible life, Ian eventually found himself stressed, suffering, and trying to escape.
00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:26.719
That journey took him to India, into silence, sobriety, meditation, and a completely different way of understanding success.
00:40:26.880 --> 00:40:33.360
And in our next episode, we'll learn exactly what that is and dive into it together.
00:40:33.679 --> 00:40:34.960
My name is Daniel Wood.
00:40:35.039 --> 00:40:36.880
