We are being bombarded with disrupting chemicals. A lot of them, they're in art
00:00:04
products. >> Okay, let's go to my kitchen. Come with me. So, this is my fridge.
00:00:09
>> So, the first thing I notice is this, cuz that's like the worst. >> Can I get a bin bag?
00:00:14
>> This is made from recycled electronics. >> What about this? >> This is a problem also.
00:00:21
>> And this? >> Ding, ding, ding. This is great. >> I'm going to do utensils next.
00:00:24
>> Heating it up. The plastic is getting into your food. >> What about a receipt?
00:00:28
>> That's bad. that's covered with BPA and study in adolescent boys showed that it
00:00:33
was associated with a 50% reduction in testosterone. And then this is one that people often miss.
00:00:39
>> Oh, >> Dr. Rhonda Patrick, let's talk about something that I've never heard of
00:00:43
before. Peak span. What the hell is peak span? >> So, it's essentially being within 90% of
00:00:49
your peak function. For example, muscle mass, bone density, that kind of peaks around 25 years old and then they kind
00:00:56
of steadily start to decline. >> You're joking. And the same goes for cognitive function.
00:01:00
>> So I'm on the way down. >> Yeah. And I'm definitely on the way
00:01:02
down. But we can do things in our life to help maintain that peak span. Like if you exercise 5 hours a week, do some
00:01:09
highintensity interval training in there and you can reverse heart aging by 20 years. And then sleep. Very very
00:01:14
important for preventing your immune system from aging rapidly. And then another thing that you can do that's
00:01:19
really important for brain aging is this is associated with a rapid decrease in Alzheimer's disease risk. But what I
00:01:25
really want to talk about is intermittent fasting, bossy supplements, and being sedentary.
00:01:29
>> So don't want to talk about all of that, but we've got to talk about this in my
00:01:32
hands at the moment. >> So if you have this, it's going to double your risk of early mortality.
00:01:36
>> Double your risk. >> Double. >> Okay. So talk me through this. I want as
00:01:39
much detail as possible.
