Summary

This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers, Athletic Greens, and Rupa Health. What if I told you we’ll reach a point in time where scientific breakthroughs will extend our lives by more than a year, for every year we are alive? This is called longevity escape velocity, and some experts think it’s only 12 to 15 years away. Of course, getting to that point is multidimensional. It means addressing health from all angles, with personal lifestyle choices, technology, and more. On today’s episode, I’m excited to talk to Peter Diamandis about the future of longevity interventions and why we won’t always have the same idea of aging that we do today. Peter Diamandis is the founder and executive chairman of the XPRIZE Foundation, which leads the world in designing and operating large-scale incentive competitions. He was recently named by Fortune as one of the “World’s 50 Greatest Leaders.” He is also the executive founder of Singularity University, a graduate-level Silicon Valley institution that counsels the world's leaders on exponentially growing technologies.

0:00.0	Coming up on this episode of the doctor's pharmacy.
0:03.5	Muscle is one of the highest correlations with longevity.
0:08.7	I'm believably great that you said that because I think muscle is the currency of aging.
0:16.2	Hey everyone, it's Dr. Hyman.
0:18.4	I'm all about using food first when it comes to nutrition, but there's certain nutrients I recommend
0:23.0	everyone supplement with because it's simply impossible to get adequate amounts from your diet alone.
0:28.0	One example is magnesium, which are soils, well they're not too healthy and because there's
0:34.3	no organic matter, they can't extract the magnesium from the soil from industrial farming,
0:38.7	which is a drag.
0:40.5	And that leads to 50% less of these minerals in our food than there was 50 years ago.
0:45.6	And then of course we're doing things that cause us to lose magnesium like sugar, caffeine,
0:50.5	fluoride, even stress, which none of us have, right?
0:55.5	80% of Americans are actually deficient in magnesium and that may mean insufficient.
0:59.9	That necessarily true deficiency, but just not enough for optimal functioning because magnesium
1:04.4	is so important.
1:05.4	And it's a huge problem for our health.
1:08.1	Considering the pandemic of stress along with the pandemic of COVID that we're facing,
1:12.2	we should all really be conscious about our magnesium intake because it activates the parasympathetic
1:17.1	nervous system which keeps us calmer and more relaxed.
1:21.3	Magnesium is crucial for more than 300 other chemical reactions in the body and impacts everything
1:25.7	from metabolism to sleep, to neurologic health, energy, pain, muscle function and lots more.
1:32.3	My favorite new magnesium is from a company called Biooptimizers.
