Picture yourself in your mid-70s, feeling as though you're at the prime of your life.
Yes, it's possible. Meet Warren Matthews, a 76-year-old researcher, a pioneer in the field of natural health, and a living testament to the age-defying benefits of his work. Born in Christchurch, New Zealand, the son of a carpenter, Warren's path has been remarkable. For over 40 years, he's been a driven entrepreneur with a passion for technological innovation and environmental sustainability, successfully establishing multiple businesses along the way.
Around two decades ago, Warren's unwavering interest in health and well-being led him to channel his energy and resources into the field of natural health. In 1998, he, alongside his son, Lance Matthews, embarked on a journey that would ultimately result in the creation of Xtend-Life Natural Products in 2000. Today, Xtend-Life is celebrated as one of New Zealand's business success stories, known for its commitment to purity, innovative formulations, and competitive pricing. Their products, ranging from natural supplements to Zupafoods™, Omega-3, and skincare, reach thousands of customers in over 40 countries each month. Warren's mission is clear: to promote scientific research and wider public awareness of the genuine benefits of pure, natural products combined with sensible diet and lifestyles.
My second guest, Ivor Cummins, is a seasoned chemical engineer with a remarkable career in the medical device industry and beyond. With a specialty in leading teams through complex problem-solving efforts, Ivor's expertise is unquestionable. He's a University College Dublin graduate who spent the first six years of his career developing and optimizing medical devices like hemodialysis units, hemoperfusion cartridges, and coronary stent assemblies. Over the years, Ivor continued to enhance his professional knowledge by becoming a Chartered Engineer (CEng) and a Project Management Professional (PMP). He also completed an Innovation and Entrepreneurial Management Certificate at Stanford University.
In today's episode, Warren will share his remarkable insights into living a long and healthy life at the age of 76, Ivor will explore the intricate world of multivitamin absorption and delivery mechanisms, and we'll unravel the significance of blending different forms of vitamins, minerals, and supplements for optimal health.

0:00.0 | My name is Ben Greenfield, and on this episode of the Ben Greenfield Life Podcast. |
0:04.3 | Calcification is just a natural process. |
0:06.9 | It's based on essentially vascular inflammation, endothelial inflammation. |
0:12.3 | And to be honest, what most likely happens is there's micro tears, there's clots. |
0:17.4 | The clots are abraded then. |
0:19.5 | You get endothelial progenitor cells come along and they regrow the endothelial layer |
0:25.0 | on the inside of the archery, and you trap some clot on wood cells inside. |
0:30.2 | And when that cycle keeps happening, you eventually build up a kind of cholesterol-filled kind |

0:36.6 | And of course, the calcification is simply the body's natural way of stabilizing that, |

0:46.5 | It shows that you had, in the past, maybe still going on, endothelial dysfunction of some form. |
0:55.0 | Faith, family, fitness, health, performance, nutrition, longevity, ancestral living, biohacking, |
1:08.1 | and a whole lot more. |
1:09.8 | Welcome to the show. |
1:12.8 | All right, so I got a question for you. |
1:20.5 | What do you think the health of your gut actually affects? |
1:25.7 | Now, most people have answers like digestion or pooping or bloating, etc. |
1:31.1 | But did you know your gut actually makes neurons, just like your brain? |
