welcome to the anti-aging seminar today

we’re going to answer a question is it

possible to reverse the aging process or

at least slow it down I believe it is so

before we get into how to do that I want

to talk about a big problem in health

care we’re running into right now and

that has to do with there is no

prevention it’s all treating symptoms

it’s not preventing anything so let me

just show you something right here this

is a book called franc net or MD

endocrinology and we’re going to talk

about the adrenal gland because there’s

an aging horror mountainous called

cortisol and cortisol will make you

older and so you need to know about it

you need to know how to undo it and slow

it down and this is what it says the

normal adrenal gland has an enormous

functional reserve indeed the adrenal

deficiency does not become clinically

manifest until 9/10 of the adrenal has

been rendered unresponsive now what does

that mean that means that before it

shows up in a blood test it has to be

90% destroyed you see the problem if you

wait for your adrenals to be showing up

on a blood test it’s too late and the

same thing goes with the heart does

anyone know the first symptom of a heart

attack over 50% the time well guess what

it is it’s actually there is no symptom

its death you just die so sometimes your

body gives Clues some your times your

body does not give Clues you really

can’t go by symptoms same thing with the

liver your liver has to be almost

completely destroyed before it shows up

in a blood test so what we’re going to

get in today is some of the problems

some of the solutions in relationship to

the anti-aging cycle all right there’s

two situations you have right here you

have creating health okay

versus treating disease so the medical

model is this will be here treating

disease and that’s that basically what

they do I want to set up a new model and

that’s called creating health and

avoiding disease it’s completely

different what we want to do is we want

to stay over here and how do we create

health well through your food

the nutrients in your foods the type of

exercise the sleep the things you’re

doing to reduce stress all these things

are creating health and of course the

counter creating of the health is just

the opposite

you know it’s what you’re putting in

your food as far as junk foods bad foods

artificial things alcohol not sleeping

stressing your body out all those things

are counter creating your health but

there’s also something else and that has

to do with doing nothing all right

doing nothing is counter creating your

health because if you do nothing it’s

your body’s gonna fall apart

so if you sit in the couch all day

you’re not going to create any health or

you’re going to counter create your

health so here’s the thing here’s the

problem with treating the disease model

what happens is that the doctor says you

have to wait you have to wait six months

and we’re going to test you again so

every six months we’re going to test you

we’re going to test you until you have

this disease well by the time you wait

you’re already going to have it so my

suggestion is that we actively and

aggressively create your health now

because the odds are against you do you

realize that cancer takes 20 years to

grow in your body before even shows up

on a test twenty years that’s two

decades so you really can’t wait and

then because when you wait and then you

actually are diagnosed it takes

incredible energy to undo this thing in

fact when you get chemotherapy

the success rate after five years

there’s only 2% so the disease model

treating the disease model doesn’t work

it’s very very expensive and the

prognosis is not very good and there’s a

lot of side effects because the drugs

create other complications what I

suggest is we do this we really focus on

this creating health thing because this

is all if you want to know about

anti-aging it’s right here it’s all

about creating your health it’s about

creating your cells healthier it’s like

building this thing up that will make

you younger I’m doing it personally in

about three years I’ll be 50 I feel like

I’m 20 but when I was in my 20s I felt

like I was 90 so I’ve been actively

building up my health and creating my

health and I will tell you that this

model really works so my goal with you

is to make you more

we’re of this right here put your

attention on this okay because every

single day whether you know it or not

you either creating your health or your

counter creating your health which is

basically creating disease so there are

little actions that you can do each day

that make a huge difference but there’s

really two mistakes that people make

number one is waiting until they have a

problem and men are too notorious for

this because they tend to be more macho

or they wait and they don’t want to

admit that they have weaknesses and I

treat small percentage of men but only

because their wife dragged them to my

office and then they decided okay I’m

ready to do something about it but women

tend to be more responsible

hopefully you men in the audience are

going to be more responsible today but

what we want to do is we want to not

wait anymore we want to take action

waiting never works because sooner or

later you are going to have a health

problem I know some of you have parents

or grandparents in your family right now

that just out of the blue got sick and

now all the family is sucked into trying

to help this person so waiting always

leads to more problems down down the

road so that’s that’s mistake number one

mistake number two is that you have no

health goal or your goal is too small

it’s like what does your health go well

I don’t know I’m just going to wait til

see what happens to my life in a couple

years my goal for my body is to get

younger every year that I get older does

that sound like a good idea yeah

absolutely because if you do that if you

actively create on your health then

guess what happens to this disease State

you avoid it in fact when it’s like

learning karate then no one wants to

fight you you’re actively countering and

bulletproofing your health for the

future and so that way you take yourself

out of the risk factors and out of the

state where your doctor saying hey let’s

wait in six months and let’s test you

and see when you have it so then we can

treat with the drug

I want to aggressively actively promote

and create a health reserve that you are

totally bulletproof for the future now

let’s talk about the three mistakes that

people make repetitively over and over

and over without really knowing they’re

making mistake the first mistake is

these things called antioxidants and I

know some of you are taking

them vitamin E and vitamin C and and I

guess the Chinese herb tea that you’re

drinking and the ginkgo biloba and all

that stuff well let me explain something

the whole free radical theory is a myth

now before you reject that because I was

the guy that was pushing that at one

time thinking that there’s these free

radicals going around destroying her

body making it ourselves older until I

started to go and read some of the

studies that were done on these

antioxidants so let me read you a couple

these are scientific studies that will

show you that these the antioxidants

either don’t work or they make you worse

check this out

here’s one the alpha tocopheryl it’s

vitamin E beta carotene it’s vitamin A

prevention study this was done in 29,000

people okay it increases taking

antioxidants increase the risk of

cardiac death stroke and risk for

coronary events okay that the trial was

stopped early all right the next one

called the polyp prevention study done

in 751 people neither beta carotene or

vitamin C or vitamin E reduce the

incident of tumors or polyps or

prevented any polyps okay and then we

have another study the physician study

this says that showed no difference in

the incident of malignant cancer stroke

or cardiovascular disease or overall

mortality in 12 years of taking the

supplement here’s another one so there’s

no significant difference in major

coronary events but significantly more

deaths from fatal coronary heart disease

is this mind-blowing or what the actual

solutions that people are trying to take

the actual vitamins that people are take

are actually making them worse now how

can that be let me explain something in

nature all vitamins come in complexes

okay a complex is a series of complex

parts that make up a whole now let’s

just take the vitamin C complex here we

have one part called the ascorbic acid

that’s the anti oxidant portion of the

vitamin C complex and it also has some

cofactors here vitamin J vitamin P that

the bioflavonoids that you probably have

heard about and then you have copper

that’s some mineral and then you have

vitamin K so this is what makes up the

vitamin C complex well when you’re

taking these antioxidants and all those

studies most of the studies were doing

and we were doing on on synthetic

vitamins and synthetic antioxidants they

weren’t using natural antioxidants so

anytime you take a vitamin fraction or a

part of vitamin out of the normal

complex you create deficiencies in the

other factors I had a patient go to

Mexico he had cancer and they injected

him with over a hundred thousand

milligrams of synthetic ascorbic acid

which is vitamin C and this guy came

back with the worst vitamin C deficiency

that you ever seen in your life

he had bleeding gums he had spider veins

in his nose he looked like he had scurvy

which is a vitamin C because he was very

tired and he had varicose veins and

hemorrhoids which are all vitamin C

deficiencies the very thing that you’re

taking in high dosages but synthetic are

creating the deficiency and you know

many people are doing that they buy

cheap vitamins that are believe it or

not made from petroleum products they’re

not natural they’re not from plants but

they can they sit and some people say

there’s no difference well let me ask

you this is there a difference between

artificial flavoring and real flavoring

I mean I think there is I believe

there’s a big difference between

synthetic and natural so anytime you

take artificial synthetic fraction

native vitamins from the complex and

take those in mega dosages you’re gonna

be creating problems and I can prove it

because right in the studies all those

were done synthetically mistake number

two taking hormones all right now I know

there’s a lot of people are doing the

bioidentical hormones and doing

synthetic hormones and let me just

explain some challenges but before I do

that I just have to explain what a

hormone is because it can be very

complex first of all that you have to

know there’s six hundred hormones in

your body and when you add a hormone

into the mix you create a lot of

confusion but what happens is that

hormones are communications that are

sent from one part of the

to another and they travel through the

blood so these are hormones and what

makes a hormone are things called glands

and it usually goes to some other part

of the tissue like let’s say this is the

ovary and this is the pituitary so you

always have these glands that are

sending receiving and then returning

communications just like you would talk

to someone you know you talk to someone

they spoke supposedly there should be

listening to you and they should be

acknowledging here when you talk to them

you’re not going to talk to someone

they’re just sitting there not

acknowledging you same thing with the

body so anytime you have too much of a

hormone you have a certain problem

anything not enough you have a

completely other set of problems so

here’s the problem when you take

hormones you actually shut down the

gland you make the gland not have to

produce you make the body now dependent

on that hormone same goes with thyroid

any hormones in the body that’s why I’m

not crazy about taking hormones unless

you’ve tried everything here’s what’s

really missing no one is looking at the

glands repairing the glands healing the

glands this is the secret to anti-aging

because you have to be able to know what

to do to heal the glands now one of the

biggest things that destroys your glands

are a thing called endocrine disruptors

what is an endocrine disruptor an

endocrine disruptor is anything in the

environment that can destroy or

interfere or mimic other hormones and

specifically it mimics estrogen and you

know that estrogen has a tendency to

cause cancer and trigger cancer it can

create a lots of problems for you too so

even some of the anti breast cancer

drugs are things that block estrogen in

the body so endocrine disruptors are any

chemical like pesticide insecticides

herbicides fungicides heavy metal

country-and-western

I’m just saying if you’re awake all

these things in the environment that are

messing up your hormones golf course

they pesticides the office everywhere so

what happens what you have to do is you

have to

aware of that number one and you have to

be able to detoxify your body from the

endocrine disrupters it just so happens

there is a wonderful set of foods that

you can eat right now that can dismantle

these chemicals from your liver without

creating any detox reactions now would

you like to know about that would anyone

like to know about that okay you would

like to know about that and they’re

called cruciferous okay cruciferous are

those vegetables like broccoli Brussels

sprouts cabbage kale and these

vegetables that not very many people are

eating have the ability to reach out

from your liver in pull these chemicals

dismantle them and deactivate them why

because these things cause cancer they

create disease thank goodness that we

have our own food supply we have things

that can protect our bodies my favorite

food is kale why because kale has the

most nutrition of any plant on the

planet it’s the healthiest food that you

could possibly get does it taste good

well that’s a different topic but it’s

good for you it’s a little bitter but

you can mix it with different things

kale is my favorite because it can has

anti-cancer properties it can make your

cells young again it can pull these

chemicals out so to salvage the gland we

need to be consuming cruciferous and you

know what’s really cool about that only

three cups of cruciferous every single

week will decrease certain cancer rates

by 48 percent okay just remember that

because these phytonutrients have

special properties that if eaten in

their complex not synthetically can

create massive amounts of anti-aging

properties okay so let’s let’s let’s

look at something happen as you age

every single year you age your hormones

are declining that’s the good news I

mean that’s the bad news

so let’s look at this this is an aging

over time there’s hormones that are

decreasing with time and there are

hormones that are increasing with time

all right

the ones that increase with time

are the aging hormones specifically

cortisol that’s the bad hormone that’s

the one that causes belly fat that’s the

one that destroys your collagen in your

skin and your joints and your arteries

that can set you up for strokes okay

that’s the one that makes you old inside

and out it keeps you from sleeping it it

gets it causes it sets up a situation we

can get autoimmune diseases I mean think

about what cortisol is if they inject

you with it it’s an anti-inflammatory so

that means that all the inflammatory

diseases are adrenal why don’t they fix

the gland that’s a good question

so cortisol that goes up as you age and

let’s say this is 50 years old right

here okay 50 years old and then we have

this other one going down is called

growth hormone okay now growth hormone

is not just about growing it’s about

making you young growth hormone is the

main anti-aging hormone it occurs when

you’re sleeping so if you’re not

sleeping it’s not working

well the other thing that triggers it is

exercise but not any old exercise so no

I’ll get to that in a moment but this is

a very very important thing that

decreases and that’s why it’s so hard to

lose weight as you age because this is

the main hormone that burns fat

especially in your belly okay so what we

want to do with the anti-aging strategy

is work we need to get the glands

healthy and we need to get cortisol down

to zero and get growth hormone as high

as we can all right so that’s what we’re

talking about so so what we want to do

we want to understand what gland or what

organ does growth hormone work through

litter what destroys the liver is

alcohol even wine beer mad dog 20/20 and

also a lot of cooked proteins a lot of

cook protein powders the soy powder is

very bad for the liver soy protein

isolate powder is very bad for the liver

when you actually have these powders at

your house that you’re taking look at

the ingredients make sure it doesn’t

have this soy because it’s very bad and

liver in fact they found it increases

tumors in your liver

so we have the thing that the liver

loves is bitter vegetables and there we

got the cruciferous again we keep coming

back to those darn cruciferous

vegetables

now the only thing green that I ate

growing up was pistachio ice cream and

lime green jello I never ate any

vegetables until I got out of college

and that’s why I hit bottom I was very

very old on the inside and going down

real rapidly I hit bottom when I was 28

but I decided at that point that I’m

done I’m ready to get my body in the

best shape that I’ve ever been because I

if I didn’t I would end up in serious

shape so I’ve I’ve been consuming a lot

of cruciferous my favorite is kale for

probably about 15 years why because I

found that was the food that heals the

liver and so that’s why I want you to

eat that as well or eat similar types of

food so that the liver needs bitter

vegetables to heal itself okay so now

let me show you something a strategy

that I use to help people get younger is

increase this growth hormone and by the

way you can buy it you can buy it from

Adam you can actually have your doctor

ordered for you

it will regenerate your organs within

three months it will lose a lot of

weight you get lean body mass it costs

$12,000 though but it caused diabetes as

a side effect about 3 to 4 months later

so remember I talked about when you take

a hormone it activates your gland that

makes it so there’s another way to

increase growth home and by 450 percent

does anyone want to know what to do how

to do that anyone I don’t think you guys

are really ready for this maybe I’ll

show you at the next seminar the

advanced seminar you want to know ok

fine I’ll tell you so to increase the

growth from about 450 percent what we

want to do is we want to do a type of

exercise that is called interval

training that would be the short little

workouts with lots of rest back and

forth you can do a little hopping on

stairs you can do bike riding you can do

little jogging things you can do jump

rope whatever it doesn’t matter but the

key is the interval short rest

short rest as compared to jogging doing

marathons okay you will not increase the

growth hormone so the type of exercise

but they found that increases of this

interval training alright but here’s the

problem with some of you you you’re not

ready to do interval training yet

because when you exercise you stress

your body out and then you stop

what’s supposed to happen you’re

supposed to then recover and get healthy

and burn fat right here in the recovery

after the workout 14 hours later but

most of you your recovery is so bad and

I’m talking about your body’s ability to

rejuvenate you’re not ready for the

interval training because it’s more of a

stress see here’s the thing

it’s not about the quantity of exercise

it’s about how your body can recover

from that exercise I wrestled in college

I was undefeated for the first week and

then I was the worst guy on the team

because I would work out twice thinking

more is better the point is it’s not

it’s about your ability to bounce back

from things there is something in your

body that is actively getting you to

recover from stress actively it’s an

active machine I’m not going to give you

the long name for it but there’s

something that helps you to recover so

let’s just say you run up a stairs okay

and you get to the top how fast is your

pulse rate come back to a normal range

well guess what gets your pulse rate

back to that normal range this specific

system so it’s called a recovery system

and you also have something that reacts

to the stress to get your pulse rate to

adapt to the climbing of the stairs - so

in any given moment

you’re constantly reacting to stress and

adapting the stress reacting and

adapting to stress so this brings up the

next most important thing and that is

the aging hormone called cortisol what

destroys your body is stress how many of

ever experienced stress at least once

before got one person and I’m being

sarcastic all of you it’s okay to

experience stress as long as you can

recover from it so here’s another secret

if you experience stress make sure you

actually do things to extract the stress

as you

go through stress because unfortunately

we can’t move you all to an island right

now in the beach for about the next six

months so you can rejuvenate so you’re

gonna have to do things to undo the

stress what I do for my body is I teach

people how to do acupressure it’s a

non-invasive way of extracting stress

because that way each night you can pull

the stress out because here’s the thing

all stress is accumulative your bodies

are like buckets and you’re filling up

with stress every day and if you don’t

get rid of it that sustained stress will

burn you out a lot of you mothers in the

audience are experiencing that you put

your body on the back burner until one

day when you get after menopause you’re

like what the heck happened to my body

because you’ve been pushing putting

yourself on the back burner like I said

it’s okay to experience stress as long

as you can recover from it and you can

keep going so sleep is vital extracting

stress doing things to decrease stress

is vital because stress is the number

one killer out there right now and a lot

of you are going through lots of massive

stress so I want you to do things every

single day that actively get rid of your

stress or reduce your stress why because

you can’t escape stress but you can do

something about it you can you can

actually handle your physical a body’s

ability to adapt from the stress so like

I said before there’s a program that I

put people on that actually help them

recover but sometimes that’s confusing

the people they want like what do you

mean recover what I mean bounce back how

do you know you have low recovery well

how was your tolerance of stress do

people get on your nerves

do you have a low tolerance to

incompetent people you get on edge do

you have you get overwhelmed that means

you lost your ability to recover okay

when the more you lose your ability to

recover the less exercise is going to

help you lose weight especially in the

midsection why because that’s when all

the fats burned all right so this

recovery thing is everything and to

build up your recovery in yourself get

them to adapt better is then probably

even more important than anything so you

want to adjust your exercise to your

to recover okay so we have two things

going on we have the reaction the stress

and the recovery from stress and we want

to be able to react to it but we have to

adapt to it as well and this is one of

the most important things so let’s say

you’re stressed right now and you don’t

know what to do and you you’re probably

maybe me or you’re overtraining well

just do walking right now and build up

to it over a period of time but the key

is never to over train because again if

we can get you to recover better we can

increase growth hormone and we can then

make you younger as you get older

mistake number three not isolating and

being aware of and getting healthy your

weakest link all of you are gonna die of

something someday the key is knowing

what you’re gonna die of is it going to

be the heart is it going to be cancer is

it going to be the pancreas is it going

to be the liver is it gonna be an artery

what is it gonna be you’re as strong as

your weakest link and what you want to

do is you want to identify what weak

links you have and put a lot of

attention on creating health in that

area it’s so simple but people don’t

look at it like that now you how do you

know you wake us link look at your

parents do they have diabetes I know

some of you are on medication right now

well that will be a weak link right

there to start with I mean if you want

if you’re confused with what weak link

you have you can get help from me or you

can just start with the heart because

most people die of a heart attack

some of the common things that destroy

the heart are vitamin B deficiency

coming from eating too many refined

grains like breads pasta cereal crackers

biscuits waffles pancakes muffins things

like that and sugar that will destroy

the heart faster than anything also

depletes you a vitamin E which then will

cause a different type of heart problem

which is like heart attacks angina

that’s why vitamin E is good for the

heart if it’s done naturally but how do

you become deficient vitamin E by

consuming too many of those refined

grains breads pastas or crackers

biscuits you know everyone’s doing it so

we want to avoid those to protect your

heart we already talked about the liver

it doesn’t like

a lot of cook protein doesn’t like soy

powder it does like cook fats it likes

raw bitter vegetables okay what about

the pancreas

well it doesn’t like sugar it doesn’t

like hidden sugars like juice and like

the hidden sugars as msg and some of the

Chinese restaurants in the fast food

places all right so all these things are

very very vital when you’re talking

about healing the body in getting

younger you don’t want to take a global

approach you want to take a specific

approach and take one organ at a time

take your weakest like and bring it on

up some of you are so stressed out your

adrenal glands need to be rejuvenated

that would be a good place to start

because if you take that weak link and

you bring that thing up guess what you

did you allow the anti aging hormones to

work on your body just by automatically

bringing that down cortisol down and

that cortisol is at the heart of so many

illnesses from degenerative disease to

autoimmune to cancer to burning out the

heart so that would be a very vital goal
