Sergei, welcome.

Hi, Jason. Hi, everyone. I'm so excited to be here with you today.

Well, we're thrilled to have you and like every great entrepreneurial story, including yours, it all begins with a story.

And so let's talk about your story and what led to your passion for longevity and ultimately your longevity vision fund and your book The Science and Technology of Growing Young.

So what started this all for you?

Yeah, well, unfortunate reality for so many of us that we need to have a wake up call to start thinking about our health and to actually to start thinking about taking back control and responsibility for our own health.

So I had two wake up calls. One was a lung cancer of my father back in 2005. He survived.

But the man literally shrunk by one third and his quality of life is never recovered.

And then it was not enough. Then few years later, I had my blood test and doctor told me I have extremely high level of cholesterol, which is not unique for today's world.

And then I've been offered to take pills, statins every day till the end of my life.

And I was really shocked. I think I was at the age of 43. I'm 49 today.

And to take something like a medication every day, it felt so unnatural to me.

So I started to dig into the subject. What I can do instead of just going in kind of big farm away, which I probably need to do in some really severe cases.

But with high cholesterol is anything I can change lifestyle wise to achieve exactly the same result.

And this is where this whole journey started. I'll be really happy to share today what I'm doing today and done in the past to fix that.
