so I think everyone wants to live a

little bit longer

I will guarantee at the end of this

video you are going to know how to

extend your life and I’ll put a

guarantee on that to the point where

I’ll even give your money back if you

don’t live longer so if we want to

figure out

how to extend one’s life we need to

compare that to something else you can

never figure something out or understand

something if it’s just like one thing

like for example if I said uh is the

number 100 good or bad right it has to

be related to something for example if

your blood sugars are 100 is that good

or bad Well normally it should be like

80 okay or even a little bit less so 100

is not that great okay what about

temperature is that good or bad well you

have to evaluate that compared to your

normal temperature which is 98.6 so 100

yeah it’s uh it’s a bit too high so in

order to figure out longevity we have to

compare that to the reason why people

die and and look deeper at the risk

factors

potential causes

Etc because if we could just eliminate

why people die we can extend your life

that way without knowing anything else

okay well I’ll just tell you right now

the number one cause of death

worldwide is heart attacks now in this

graph that I’m going to pull up right

now it shows the greatest risk factors

for dying from a heart attack okay take

a look at this and we’re looking at the

graph on the left side heart disease we

have various risk factors okay we have

hypertension we have smoking we have

obesity okay then we have aging so look

at how much greater

aging is as a risk factor for heart

disease but what we’re really looking at

is that deaths from heart attacks So

based on that do we have enough

information to know how to live longer

because all we know now is the biggest

factor for heart disease death is aging

and we know that the greatest cause of

death is heart disease death so what we

need to do is we need to look a little

bit more at heart disease itself let’s

look at some statistics on heart disease

I have this very interesting uh graph

showing the risk factors for coronary

heart disease as well as the biomarkers

and biomarkers are just like little red

flags which just tell you the risk of

getting a heart attack now what’s so

important about this graph is to look at

the relative

differences between the different risks

and if we look at the top graph let’s

just take a look at type 2 diabetes if

you have diabetes you’re at more of a 10

times risk of developing heart disease

than people that don’t have diabetes and

if we look at the biomarkers

specifically insulin resistance okay now

you’re probably wondering what

lipoprotein insulin resistance is that’s

a kind of a fairly new but very reliable

biomarker of insulin resistance look at

insulin resistance compared to what

everyone focuses on is the LDL as a risk

factor for heart attacks the so-called

bad cholesterol now I’m not going to

even get into like the small dense

particle size versus the large buoyant

size none of that I’m just looking at

LDL cholesterol we’re going to compare

that to insulin resistance as a risk so

if we look at the numbers for LDL which

basically has a risk factor of 1.3 that

means if you have a higher LDL that can

put you at a risk factor of 38 percent

more risk okay now 38 sounds like a

a big risk right but let’s compare that

to insulin resistance which increases

your risk by

540 percent so if we’re looking at the

relative importance or Focus or

attention that you should put on

preventing heart attacks what would be a

bigger number 540 percent or 38 the

insulin resistance biomarker is 14 times

greater than LDL if we look at a

percentage it’s

1300 percent greater and this blows me

away because

I don’t even know if doctors even could

look at insulin resistance as a

biomarker or risk factor at all it’s

mainly focused on this cholesterol value

or bad cholesterol now if we look at the

top graph the graphs in red diabetes is

caused by insulin resistance then the

second one metabolic syndrome what

causes that insulin resistance then we

have hypertension what’s behind that

insulin resistance what about diabetes

what causes that insulin resistance and

then what about smoking

is insulin resistance involved in

smoking it actually does contribute to

insulin resistance in a big way it

actually can elevate your blood sugars

and I’ll put that data down below too so

by looking at all the these risk factors

and biomarkers and evaluating the

relative importance apparently insulin

resistance happens to be the biggest

risk factor for premature cardiac deaths

now that’s interesting but there’s

something even more interesting about

this topic what is the main mainstream

treatment for high cholesterol and if

you said statins you guessed correct

what’s a Statin it’s a drug that blocks

the production of cholesterol in the

body and when we’re done with this video

go ahead and go to Google and just type

in statins related to insulin resistance

and you’re going to find that right down

the list there are many many studies

showing that when people take statins

they can develop insulin resistance and

even diabetes so the very treatment to

prevent a heart attack could end up

worsening a heart attack why because of

insulin resistance anything that

increases insulin resistance is not a

good idea when you’re trying to prevent

a heart attack it’s data that you should

bring up with your doctor you should

educate your doctor about this because

sometimes

um there’s so hyper focused on this one

bad cholesterol they might not be up on

some of this current data now when we

talk about longevity

we want to keep the mitochondria as

strong as possible okay we don’t want

the mitochondria to die one of the

reasons the mitochondria dies and even

can shorten your life is a term called

apoptosis okay apoptosis is cell death

and when we’re talking about the

mitochondria it’s the death of the

mitochondria well apparently statins

also impair the mitochondria and

increase this apoptosis now the other

thing you should know about statin drugs

and again I’m not telling you to come

off your Statin drug I’m just giving you

the information to be able to research

and bring this up with your dog but it’s

a well-known fact that statins deplete

coenzyme Q10 which has everything to do

with helping you transport

electrons in the mitochondria they’re

involved with generating more energy or

ATP in your body and when someone takes

a Statin and they become depleted of

coenzyme Q10 they can develop a lot of

they’re called statin-induced myopathies

which is muscle diseases like weakness

of the muscle atrophy of the muscle

muscle pain muscle cramping and other

problems with the muscle and this is why

anyone in Statin should always always

take coenzyme Q10 and what’s more ironic

just about coenzyme Q10 as a nutrient

guess what food that you find it mostly

in beef liver fatty fish you know things

with more cholesterol now let’s just

talk about this cholesterol thing a

little bit because I think that people

are really afraid of cholesterol and of

course they want to keep their

cholesterol low so they can live longer

however there’s some data that you need

to know about cholesterol and if this

surprises you I’m going to put the link

down below so you can thoroughly study

this this is not a weak study it’s a

very strong study which basically links

LDL cholesterol

to inversely affect immortality that

means when your LDL is low

you don’t live as long as if the LDL is

higher when LDL is higher this can

extend your lifespan this is probably

new information for you that’s why you

should

get the information for yourself down

below

now why would this be true especially as

someone ages because cholesterol is

involved not just in nerve transmission

not just in the production of vitamin D

not just in the production of bile to

help you extract and absorb vitamin A d

e

K1 and K2

but it’s also involved in making

hormones especially testosterone

especially estrogen

and cortisol the hormone that we need to

counter stress and get rid of

inflammation and the more inflammation

you have the more even infection that

you might have you may find your

cholesterol going up to help you heal

that tissue or provide raw material for

your body to work better so if you just

think about like why eating cholesterol

would end up in the arteries it’s part

of the healing process

as someone ages especially if someone is

female going after menopause and she

starts lowering her cholesterol boy the

hormones just kind of tank so

cholesterol is really needed in all of

the sex hormones and also cortisol and

other hormones as well not to mention

you need cholesterol and all of your

cell membranes the great majority of

your cholesterol is actually made by

your own cells for a reason and so when

we start cutting down the production of

cholesterol it comes with side effects

and one of the big side effects with

statins is increasing more insulin

resistance the biggest risk factor for

heart disease since we’re on the topic

of cardiovascular disease many people

are not just on statins they’re on blood

thinners all of those medications also

contribute to insulin resistance and

increased insulin and increase blood

sugars on top of the heart healthy diet

that’s recommended by the American Heart

Association which is fruits vegetables

whole grains and lean meats well I want

to comment on the fruits first a while

ago

I was eating what I thought was healthy

and I was eating fruits like apples

through the day and I was eating a lot

of other things that I’m still eating

but all I did was cut out the apples

which is so high in sugar and that sugar

is not just glucose it’s fructose too

after I cut these apples out I went from

my face being round to more slender I

went from a weight that was 211 pounds

to weight that’s 185 pounds and that’s

what I weigh now I’m six two so fruit is

so sweet unfortunately you’re just going

to raise your blood glucose and raise

your insulin not to mention the fructose

going to the liver and creating insulin

resistance from a different angle all

right what about lean proteins right

lean meats well guess what

there’s something called the insulin

index and the the proteins that are more

Lean Like even whey protein which is

completely just protein and no fat at

all are the highest on the insulin index

that means they trigger insulin the most

and the proteins that are the fattiest

trigger insulin the least this is why if

you’re going to eat an egg you eat the

whole egg not the egg white this is why

when you eat chicken you want the the

skin on it this is why when you eat

meats you don’t want to buy the leanest

meat so it can protect you against this

insulin problem just as fiber can

protect you against carbohydrates so if

you were to eat like a carrot for

example you have a lot of fiber in there

that protects you against that Sugar

this is also why vegetables are really

good because they’re very low in sugar

and very very high in fiber and of

course when we get to the whole grains

don’t get me started on that topic

because grains will just increase your

blood sugars regardless of them being

whole grain or refined grain and very

very unfortunately they’re even now

putting children on statin drugs with no

long-term safety studies it’s tragic so

insulin resistance is the most important

risk factor for heart disease and if you

want to live longer all you have to do

is improve insulin resistance make your

insulin more sensitive less resistant

stabilize your blood sugars that is the

most important action out of anything

you can do so how do you do it the

biggest way is to start going low carb

that is called the ketogenic diet then

you implement intermittent fasting cut

out the snacks go to two carbs a day

number three don’t try to go lean with

your proteins don’t try to lower your

cholesterol don’t be afraid of

cholesterol in your natural foods like

eggs meat cheese things like that

remember as you age that LDL is

inversely proportioned to mortality so

the people with really low LDL don’t

live as long and you need this

cholesterol as raw material to build

your hormones and heal the body

especially when you’re sick and

especially as you age now as far as the

vegetables go of course you need to

include that in the diet it’s going to

be loaded with potassium and magnesium

two key minerals that can help this

insulin resistance problem as well as

the fiber in those vegetables feeding

the microbes to make what’s called a

small chain fatty acids that indirectly

improve your blood sugars and insulin

resistance exercise as an action can

greatly improve insulin resistance so

the combination of all these things I

just mentioned will guarantee that you

definitely live longer or I will give

you your money back oh that’s right this
