Summary
Professional BMX athlete Josh Perry was just hitting his career stride when he was diagnosed with the first of three brain tumors at just 21 years old. But even after suffering through brain surgery and recovery, his spirit stayed strong, his resilience stayed intact, and he came out on the other side of his health odyssey with more fire and gratitude than ever before. Josh joins Dave to discuss how BMX saved his life, how he harnessed the power of holistic nutrition and new technologies like Gamma Knife radiosurgery to fight cancer, how to be your own best health advocate, and how he’s sharing his story of survival to advocate for brain health awareness. It’s an inspiring and cool story of triumph you won’t want to miss!

| 0:00.0 | If you read my anti-aging book, you know that there are seven things that cause aging in your body, |
| 0:04.7 | and one of the biggest ones you could call zombie cells. Those are cells in your body that are |
| 0:09.6 | done living, but they don't really die. They sit around, they take up resources, and they make |
| 0:13.6 | free radicals and inflammation. As you age, you get more and more zombie cells. They also cause |
| 0:19.0 | aging symptoms like less energy and longer recovery times. I've been working with my friends at |
| 0:23.6 | Neurohacker on a formula that would cause your body to eliminate those zombie cells. It's called |
| 0:30.0 | Qualia Cinelletics. It's a new kind of supplement. It's got the most powerful, herbal, and natural |
| 0:35.4 | synolytics, and it's so powerful you only take it for two days per month to turn on this cleanup |

| 1:23.8 | Today's cool fact of the day is that over time, your hippocampus shrinks if you're normal. |
| 1:39.5 | hippocampus is a part of the brain that's a relatively sizable part of the brain, |
| 1:43.3 | and as you age it naturally shrinks. But if you do it right, it doesn't have to shrink. |
| 1:48.6 | And because of all the stuff that's in headstrong and all the stuff, |
| 1:51.8 | Frankovits in the Bulletproof diet and meditation and just the entire lifestyle, |
| 1:56.0 | I've actually got 86% tile hippocampal volume from my age, which means in my Inequals One |
