0:00.0	Welcome to the MyBuddyGreen podcast. I'm Jason Wachib, founder and co-CEO of MyBuddyGreen and your host.
0:07.1	Hey everyone. Dr. Mark Heiming used to say, you can't exercise your way out of a bad diet.
0:13.6	It's something I would repeat all the time. But as the conversation around longevity and health
0:19.0	span continues to evolve, I'm starting to change my tune on that. And so is Mark.
0:26.0	I think more people should be open to tweaking their perspectives in the health and wellness
0:29.8	space. And if Mark and internationally recognized leader and functional medicine
0:34.7	can alter his philosophy over time, I think we all can give ourselves some grace.
0:39.4	Today, Mark is back on the show to talk about how his healthy aging routine has evolved over the years.
0:45.6	The new rules of longevity, if you will. It's an episode you definitely don't want to miss.
0:50.9	Mark, welcome. Hi. It was so great to see you. I think the last time I saw you was one we interviewed

1:33.9	And so let's define aging. I think that's a good place to start. Give us a primer. How do you
1:42.5	think about aging beyond just adding a year every 365 days? What are the root causes of aging?
1:51.1	How do you think about aging in terms of the definition? And what's really going on?
1:55.7	Okay. Well, that's a lot. It is a lot, but you're the guy. So first of all, I think you know,
2:02.6	I want to say that the pursuit of longevity for me personally is not a hedonistic pursuit. It's
2:08.6	not about defying death. It's not about just kind of some selfish way of having more life. It's
