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

of your zombie cells. You don't take it every day because you don't want your body to get rid of

Two billion years ago, mitochondria took up residence in your cells, and now they're the guys who

1:29.0

decide how you feel. They sense the environment around you and they do whatever they think will

1:33.4

help your body survive. Your environment tells them what energy to create and that energy drives

1:39.3

your willpower, your thoughts, your feelings, every breath you take. Unfortunately, just about

1:44.9

every one over 40 has mitochondrial insufficiency, except maybe some of us biohackers. We call that aging.

1:52.7

The good news is that system is totally hackable. All you have to do is improve the signals that

1:57.2

you send to your mitochondria, which then improves how your cells make energy. That way you can do a
