0:00.0	I want to make the most of my stocks and shares ISA allowance, but I don't want to spend my evening stock picking or scrolling investment strategies.
0:07.0	So I added FNC Investment Trust to my ISA, one simple choice and my money's hard at work in over 350 of the world's leading companies.
0:14.9	So I get to make the most of my ISA and invest my money, not my weekends.
0:19.3	Add F&C Investment Trust to your ISA before the deadline. Search FNC Investment Trust, capital at risk. This FNC Investment Trust advert is approved for distribution by Columbia Threadneedle Management Limited January 2026. We are being bombarded with disrupting chemicals. A lot of them, they're in our products. Okay, let's go to my kitchen. Come with me. So this is my fridge. So the first thing I notice is this, because that's like the worst. Can I get a bin bag? This is made from recycled electronics. What about this? This is a problem also. And this... Ding, ding, ding, this is great. I'm going to do utensils next.
0:55.1	Heating it up, the plastic, it's getting into your food.
0:57.7	What about a receipt?
0:59.1	That's bad.
0:59.8	It's covered with BPA and studying adolescent boys.
1:03.5	Show that it was associated with a 50% reduction in testosterone.
1:07.7	And then this is one that people often miss.
1:10.1	Oh, fuck.
1:14.7	The biomedical scientist and anti-aging doctor, Rhonda Patrick, is back.
1:18.8	This time, she's talking about health optimization, maintaining peak performance, and the environmental toxins disrupting your body. Dr. Ronda Patrick, let's talk about something that I've
1:23.4	never heard of before. Peak span. What the hell is peak span? So it's essentially being within 90%
1:29.0	of your peak function. For example, muscle mass, bone density, that kind of peaks around 25 years old.
1:36.0	And then they kind of steadily start to decline. You're joking. And the same goes for cognitive function.
1:40.6	So I'm on the way down. Yeah. And I'm definitely on the way down, but we can do things
1:44.6	in our life to help maintain that peak span. Like if you exercise five hours a week, do some high
1:49.5	intensity interval training in there, and you can reverse heart aging by 20 years. And then
1:53.3	sleep, very, very important for preventing your immune system from aging rapidly. And then another
1:58.6	thing that you can do that's really important for brain aging is, and this is associated with a rapid decrease in Alzheimer's disease risk. But what I really want to talk about is intermittent fasting, Zembek supplements, and being sedentary. So I want to talk about all of that. But we've got to talk about this in my hands at the moment. So if you have this, it's going to double your risk of early mortality. Double your risk. Double. Okay, so talk me through this. I want as much detail as possible. Guys, I've got a favour to ask before this episode begins. The algorithm, if you follow a show, will deliver you the best episodes from that show very prominently in your feed. So when we have our best episodes on this show, the most shared episodes, the most rated episodes, I would love you to know. And the simple way for you to know that is to hit that
2:38.4	follow button. But also, it's the simple, easy, free thing that you can do to help us make this
