Summary
In today’s episode, we tackle longevity, exploring workouts optimized for hormones, and dive deep into a crucial quality we all need a bit more of—resilience (or as I like to call it, equanimity). It's about more than just being tough; it's about the ability to maintain your chosen mental and emotional state, no matter what life throws your way.
I’m excited to introduce Tony Horton, a name many of you will recognize. We both are passionate about the journey to self-improvement, albeit via different approaches. Tony is a renowned motivational speaker, the author of Bring It, Crush It, and The Big Picture, and the brains behind immensely popular fitness programs, Beachbody Fitness and P90X®.
His influence in the world of fitness and wellness is vast, as his insights into healthy living have been shaping lives for years.
Today, we uncover the reasons behind Tony's new collaboration with Dr. Mindy Pelz to create a unique fitness program tailored for women's hormone cycle. We also explore the often overlooked roles of humor and mindfulness in promoting longevity and examine how the right workout routine can significantly enhance your relationships.
Tony also shares the best ways to move your body to prevent injuries, and imparts lessons from his extensive experience in entrepreneurship. Get ready for a practical, insightful conversation that will hopefully inspire you to move more, laugh more, and continue striving for the best version of yourself at any age.

| 0:00.0 | If you're feeling low energy there are lots of ways you can fix that. One way is by re-upping |
| 0:04.9 | your quantum energy. Quantum energy isn't just a new age term. It's a force that does exist |
| 0:11.6 | in everything, which is why you can get a PhD in quantum biology today. It's a real science. |
| 0:17.4 | Whether you don't or not, how you feel every day is based on how much quantum energy you have, |
| 0:22.8 | and stressors like toxins or EMFs do disrupt your quantum energy field, which can just make you |
| 0:29.0 | feel off. That's why I'm so interested in Lila quantum tech because they make products that |
| 0:33.9 | use quantum energy to strengthen your bio field and shield you from the effects of EMFs and they |
| 0:38.8 | have clinical studies to back it up. In fact, there have been over 15 placebo controlled studies |
| 0:43.8 | that show that they really do work, even though we're still figuring out all the details. |
| 0:48.3 | Those studies show that LilaQ products help critical functions like blood circulation and |
| 0:53.3 | heart rate variability, and they even give a substantial boost to ATP production. We're talking |
| 0:58.4 | an impressive increase of 20 to 29% more ATP. So if you want to get some pure quantum energy for |
| 1:05.4 | yourself, check out LilaQ.com, L-E-E-L-A-Q.com. Use code Dave10 to save 10%. You already know that |
| 1:14.1 | sleep is important, but not just any sleep will do. In fact, there's one particular sleep phase |
| 1:20.1 | that's responsible for most of your body's daily repair, for hunger, and for weight loss hormones, |
| 1:25.6 | even how you manage your energy, and a lot of other things. And if you don't get enough of that |
| 1:29.9 | phase of sleep, you'll probably always struggle with cravings, slow metabolism, premature aging, |
| 1:36.0 | or even worse, all the stuff that I dealt with as a young man before I figured out biohacking. |
| 1:41.7 | That phase of sleep is called deep sleep, and barely any of us are getting the amount that you |
| 1:47.5 | really want. One big reason for that is because 80% of human beings today are magnesium deficient. |
| 1:53.9 | That's a big problem because magnesium cranks up GABA in your body. It helps you relax at a |
| 1:59.2 | cellular level, and it enables deeper sleep. Plus, it keeps stress and anxiety and check, |
