Hello and welcome back to the Consistency Project podcast. Hi, I'm Patrick Cummings. I'm here, as always,

with E.C. Sikkowski. Every week, we am to simplify the principles and practices of nutrition,

health, and fitness. We thank you for joining us this week. Hello, and how are you, EC?

Hey, good. How are you? I'm fantastic. We're going to talk about what everybody seems to be

talking about these days, which is longevity. We're going to talk about what everybody seems to be talking about these days, which is longevity.

We're going to talk about longevity. Maybe a little bit more specifically. We're going to talk about some of the dubious claims in the world of longevity.

You're going to give us some things that you've seen that you want to make sure that we are not falling for.

Yeah. So I'm excited about this. Before we do, we talked about this last week. We want to make sure folks out there know about the three pillars method accelerator. That is coming soon. It's coming in early mid-April. I think when this episode drops, we're still going to be in the wait-lifts period. So folks want to be notified when the door is open for the accelerator. Now is the time. But you see, give them a little bit of a sense of what the accelerator is and maybe make mention of the actually the coach's masterclass as well, because I know that's running at the same time. Yeah, both at the same time. Accelerator is a 10-week program to go through the entire Three Pillars method process with me. So all the stuff on the app,

but then we also have live Zoom calls. We also have check-ins. So you really develop this personalized

plan to get after your weight health and fitness goals. And yeah, mid-April, we kick off. So get on

the weight list at OptimizeMeanutrition.com slash accelerator. And then the coach's masterclass

are for people that are

already nutrition coaches or thinking about being a nutrition coach who want to teach the Three Pillars

method to others. You have to go through the process yourself. That's the best way to be a teacher.

And then we also talk about coaching topics like expectations and screening and all this other stuff.

And you can get more information and get on the wait list at Optimize Mean Nutrition.com slash Masterclass Coaches.

Let's jump into this topic today. We're going to talk about longevity. Obviously, as I mentioned, everybody's talking about it. I think I actually just sent you something random on Instagram. I was like, hey, and you were like, yep, so I knew you were thinking about this. But Brian Johnson, the guy who's going to live forever, I think, just is charging people like an absurd amount of money to, I don't even know what. So let's maybe just talk about like the current state of longevity and maybe what sparked this particular episode. Yeah, there's some certain topics, which I do feel like we can't get away from protein, longevity. Longevity, yep. Those are two of the big ones. But yeah, Brian Johnson, you know, this entrepreneur who's trying to live forever, as you mentioned, he does all these supplements, he tests all his food, he does all this exercise, he's documenting everything. He's constantly getting tested. And look, again, I actually don't care what people spend their money on, go ahead. But I think it was really funny about his experiment to live to whatever that if you, if he for some reason does get to 120 or 150 years old, anybody who wants to do that is going to have to do all of what he does. Because it's an end of one experiment. Yeah. Of the thousands of things he's doing, what is the time? Exactly. Which one was it? We don't know. That's why we have to do randomized control trials. So you're kind of signing yourself up for this, like, insane protocol, which I actually think, I mean, wow, this is a tangent already here in the beginning of episode, but I actually do think he's been relaxing some of the stuff around it, realizing that it's just like he doesn't even want to do it all. Anyway, he launched his what's known as Immortals program.

And I guess he was only going to take like three select people to go through this program,

his blueprint program for which he calls himself for like a million dollars and they would get

this protocol. But I guess within a day of announcing it, he had 1,500 people apply, which,

I mean, I'm sure some of them were just for fun, but nevertheless, that's insane,

1,500 people to apply for a $1 million protocol. And, you know, some of that to me is insane
