Modern Conveniences Are Making Us Weaker

The Jurogan experience, well, we live in a crazy time, it's fun but stressful, stressful for a lot of people and for the study of it, for the study of human life extension and anti-aging, when you look at the stress that is completely, they are very novel. to the human experience, like social media stress, cell phone stress, using blue light stress, like looking at screens at night, all of that, like how much effect do you think that's having on people, and we have even quantified it. However, we are quantifying it and it is having a real negative effect.

Mental health problems will be the medical problem of the 21st century. There is no doubt that there are companies that are doing these remote video chats with a psychologist or psychiatrist. They are booming. the next billion dollar companies, yeah, I mean you want someone who wants to make money, look into that, but we live in a stressful world and we're a part of it because we don't have much else to worry about, we've gotten rid of everything. the biggest worries are the wolves, yeah, we don't have to, we're not in Savannah anymore, we're not going to get killed by a trickster, well, a lion, probably, but we built this world, you know, six million years ago.

The first ape-like hominid was in the tree walking really upright, which is interesting, it wasn't swinging from the branches, that animal picked up a stick and that put us on this treadmill that we're on today. after innovation tool after tool after tool, but in response our bodies have deteriorated, we only build our bodies as much as we need, so if we have tools and can throw stones, we don't need many muscles and in fact our heads simply it expanded so we could build better tools faster and faster and you know, the culmination of that is an iPhone, but where will we be in another 100,000 years?

It's really scary because we can't get off this treadmill, there's no turning back. not stationary because we have problems that we have already created with our own technology and that we have to solve with better technology so that we are a species that once we have picked up that stick we are on this path and those things that brought us here, there are actually four traits that I think I can think of that got us here and that make us different from all the other animals, those are not just what got us here, they are our biggest threat and we also have to use them to get us out of this problem and what are those?

Well let's see, so the first one is tool

making

, okay, no big deal, we have hands that have evolved to throw stones, shoes, our feet are actually made for shoes, imagine that's all these jeans we have, Our feet are made for shoes, yes, yes, our feet actually are. We have had shoes for so many years that we have feet that fit the shoes. Have you ever seen what it looks like when those guys? in the amazon they walk without feet and they develop these hand-like feet oh they don't pick things up oh no, you have to see this because what happens is that when they walk barefoot on the ground for so long their toes develop the grasping ability, so they grip the ground, so the toes, instead of being like a person who wears shoes all the time, where all the toes are connected, they extend like hands, that's very strange, it makes sense, I want, I want that, my friend Steve Vanello.

I was in Guyana and I was hanging out with his tribe and they turned on that they live in the forest like they look at their feet, that's amazing, maybe that's how we should be, that's how I think people lived when they lived in the jungle forever. It's the horror how do you say that harani um this is the Ecuadorian rainforest these people are um when you look at their feet I think it's soft land and they walk on land all the time and their feet open and develop? the ability to push things with your feet, so it's the exact opposite of the way that humans develop bunions or they crush their feet in these shoes that don't really fit human feet and then they get these weird bunions where Their toes point towards the other fingers, this is the opposite, they spread out like fingers on the hand, yes, well, we can trace the genetics of this, we become a very weak species if you get into a fight with a, ya You know, let's say a chimpanzee, let's say a house. cat, even that bite you offer your face to a dog, we are at their mercy, but not even the strongest human can beat an average chimpanzee or any pathetic chimpanzee, so basically we are a lollipop physique, we are a stick with a big head, but that's because we've had these tools for so many years we've had fire even our guts have shrunk we don't have a long intestine so we take ourselves out into the wild we're screwed we can't exist in the wild anymore Yes, but I live in Boston.

I was there in the winter for about 10 minutes. I'm dead, so that's what we are now. We are this pathetic physical species that has built tools that got us here, but that are actually playing with our minds. the blue light, the chairs we sit in, the foods we eat all the time, have made us a

weaker

species, so what I hope to do with my research and some companies I'm building is get us out of that problem and design our outing and also make wellness and health something that people can actually take care of themselves and what are the steps so that what people can do and exercise is good due to the fact that we live sedentary. lifestyles and most of the time people are sitting and spending a lot of time standing in front of screens, how important do you think it is to get out and do something and what kind of effect does that have?

What kind of measurable effect does that have? I have in life extension oh it's very clear that there are two things you can do that are well known to extend your life and when I say extend your life I don't mean to be older for longer, I mean to be healthier for the 80s and 90s like my dad who turns 82, who has the physique and mental fitness of probably a 30 year old, he's stronger than me, so you want that, okay, so what do you have to do good? You have to start early, you can't start whenever you want. re 80. although it helps, but it's not the best, do you want to just get up from the chair?

People say to walk, but I think it's better to lose your breath, become hypoxic, you know, hypoxia chambers, hyperbaric chambers, they stress the body a little bit, so run. for 10 minutes a few times a week that's what I do and you don't have to run for hours just 10 minutes is enough for cycling so it's a fact that people who cycle regularly and I think it was something like that like up to 80 miles a week, but they would be 40 less likely to have a heart attack than someone who didn't do that, so it's a huge change, not just a little thing on the margins, massive changes, the other thing is what I do , uh, it's skipping meals so it's not that hard now I feel weird if I eat a meal for breakfast or lunch and try not to snack too.

This idea from nutritionists, three meals a day plus snacks, never being hungry is killing us, it really is and we know it. that if you do these things to animals in controlled environments, they live a lot longer, 20 sometimes 30 percent because they are healthier longer, they don't get cancer, heart disease or dementia, so I don't know why not We all do that, I think we just like to sit and eat, it's good, it feels good to just eat chips, do what feels good, oh sure, yeah, but is there anything like that? When you talk about how eating one meal a day can extend your life is it because when you eat all the time you are taxing your digestive system which taxes your resources or is there some kind of mechanism that leads to the deterioration of the human body due to excessive consumption , like what is it, yeah.

Excessive consumption or just consumption in general causes your body to become complacent and we know this in great detail at a molecular level, there are genes that respond to how much you eat and what you eat and if you exercise and these are called longevity. genes and give our body resilience and fight aging and slow down which we can now measure the biological clock so we can take your blood or in fact we have now developed a very cheap test, just a swab to be able to tell you very precisely how Age is not based on how many times the Earth orbits the Sun.

That's ridiculous. Age is just a number. You can actually take the swab. I can tell you how old you really are, but then, using real science, I'll tell you how to stop that. and this is really cool, just in the last few years we have discovered that you can reverse human aging and also catch new episodes of the joe rogan experience for free only on spotify watch the jre video catalog on spotify including clips switch easily and seamless between video and audio experience on Spotify, you can listen to JRE in the background using other apps and you can download episodes to save on data costs, all for free.
