| 0:00.0 | The single greatest predictor of physical health at age 80 was relationship satisfaction at age 50. |
| 0:05.2 | We know from big data studies that isolation is one of the leading causes of all-cause mortality. |
| 0:10.5 | We know that one of the non-exchangeables was sense of community, sense of purpose. |
| 0:15.5 | It's very easy to feel alone on your journey, but there are millions of other people that are facing that thing that you can learn from, create community around so that you can help each other. They have a decent career and they've got a decently happy marriage, but they're like, I really don't know what my purpose is. If you don't have a clear picture of what you're trying to build towards, how can I go and build it on a daily basis? The tiny daily investment is infinitely better than doing nothing. |
| 0:38.5 | Somebody that's listening to this right now, where did they start? |
| 0:41.5 | For anyone out there, by the way, that's feeling stuck in life, it is just about... Ultimate Human. |
| 0:58.3 | Hey guys, welcome back to the Ultimate Human podcast. I'm your host, human biologist, Gary Brecker, where we go down the road of everything anti-aging, biohacking, longevity, and everything in between. |

| 1:42.2 | Then one conversation changed everything. A friend asked |
| 1:45.3 | how old his parents were. Seheel said mid-60s. The friend asked how often he saw them, |
| 1:50.9 | once a year, and then came to the gut punch. So you're going to see your parents 15 more times |
