welcome to the webinar everyone so in this webinar we’re going to talk about um anti-aging I want to teach you some great things of to actually reverse aging processes it possible I think it is uh I’ve been working with a lot of people over the years and I found that um they do get younger as they get healthier so the goal is to make you younger every year that you age so that would be cool um so um I’m going to just go to some slides right now um let me just share my screen here make sure you can see everything okay so so here’s the thing when we talk about anti-aging you know if you do research on the internet you’re going to see there’s a lot of information about just skin creams taking vitamins looking good on the outside using different um facial scrubs and that type of thing but there’s a lot more to anti-aging than just a superficial putting a cream on your face try to get rid of wrinkles so we’re going to talk about two things one is how to look youthful as you get older but we’re also going to talk about you know the heart of anti-aging which is to postpone your life to prevent dying in an early age um we’re going to talk about that because because it makes no sense to you know try to look young while you get cancer you know and dropped out of a heart attack so I want to cover both things today um and I wanted to mention that um one of the things that really emphasize is to um increase a health Reserve to build up a kind of a health insurance reserve and there is a test that can be measured to look at the internal health Reserve and I have one of my patients that we just today were uh evaluating we’re looking at her health reserve and trying to build that up and I just want to kind of show you this little graph here you can see there’s a there’s this taller dial and a small dial The Tall dial should be straight up and down and the small dial should be all the way to the right so if the small dial goes to the left that that’s indication that the person is losing their their kind of their recovery reserve and I look at that as kind of like the the deeper Health Reserve this test just to keep it really simple without giving you a lot of big words is um it’s called um heart rate variability it’s a test that measures uh the data in between the heart beats it measures how elastic the heart is it measures how the heartbeat varies from one beat to another and it’s one of the best indicators of overall mortality from heart attack so um I don’t use it for that but it will give a prediction on how healthy you are overall but also for the heart um the the reason I’m bringing this up is because I’ve probably taken 10,000 of these graphs and there has only been one person that has ever had a perfect graph and he was 80 years old and I’m like who is this guy he was walking down the street with his dog he falls in a hole hit knocks himself out he lays there for three hours knocked out unconscious wakes up his head’s bleeding goes back home he has a stiff neck he sees me three days later his wounds are almost healed um he has a slight stiffness in his neck so he had a per perfect graph and I’m like who the heck is this guy so apparently when he was younger he took the Olympics in water polo and he’s maintained his health ever since that so so he could basically hold his breath three and a half minutes uh underwater at this point so out of all the things all the workouts all the sports events I would say that um water polo is probably the most incredibly difficult I almost drowned try to uh do this sport uh in college with my roommate who was into water polo he would just hold me underneath water until I let go of the ball and he would anchor his foot into the drain pipe until I you know cooperated so it’s an intense workout so in other words I’m trying to just let you know that it is possible to um measure your health reserve and um it is possible to improve it so let me go to the next slide here so I think we should probably start this whole webinar by isolating what are the top causes of death uh if you look it up this is they’ll go ahead and tell you on WebMD it’s the heart disease cancer chronic respiratory accident stroke Alzheimer’s diabetes influenza pneumonia nefritis that’s kidney problems and then suicide so those are the top causes of death but they forgot to mention one big cause of death and that’s probably the number one it is not probably it is the number one cause of death and that is conventional medicine now in the next slide you can look at the links because I’ll send everyone these uh these PDF uh files but the point is that 7 over 700,000 people a year die of um reactions to prescription drugs unnecessary antibiotics um unnecessary medical procedures uh hospitalizations so that actually ranks number one so I guess the therapy the best therapy is to avoid doctors if you want to live longer um probably um you know the question is how many people actually died of vitamins uh in 2010 not one person in 2004 there was three people who died of Mega doses of vitamin d and vitamin E but I would there synthetic uh and of course that one person died as a result of overdose of iron and fluoride but I don’t consider fluoride a nutrient so there’s been a huge push you know by certain people to um pretty much make Alternative Care dangerous you know it’s quackery it’s scams but I personally think it’s just a way to camouflage like their own Secrets or or skeletons because the amount of medication that’s pumped in young children nowadays uh even psych drugs that they’re pushing uh and the U the soldiers and there’s 23 suicides every single day in the military and that’s from the side effects from Psychiatric medication so I wanted to just share a story by a client she told me today she uh can you tell us what happened you you basically went to the doctor and you wanted some help and you started to um you had a whole list of problems because we’re working with you but there’s some other issues that you wanted to kind of evaluate can you just tell us a little bit about you walked in there and you saw the nurse and what what was the first thing that she said well um first I she asked me what I was there for so I said well I have a list of things and I had had some symptoms going on so I’d been keeping track of them and writing them all down and I started list listing them off to her and she looked at me like I was crazy and she said ma’am you’re gonna need to pick the top two because she’s not gonna have time to um to deal with all of those issues a little shocked yeah it’s like it’s like when you go to the doctor you have a list of uh problems all those are connected they’re not separate problems yes yes and that’s what I tried to tell her I said no the doctor’s going to need to listen to me because these are all connected and I need her to to help me figure out what is going on um so she left the room sort of hurriedly acting very like almost rude um but when the doctor came in I did make her sit there and listen to me with every single one of my symptoms because they are all connected like you and I spoke today yeah and so so one of the things that um what’s lacking in in healthc care um I mean look at this you got the top um cause of death is U over medicated patients unnecessary procedures what’s everything has become so specialized into um if you have a digestive problem you go to this doctor endocrine problem you go here but they’re not looking at the whole picture I think um even with you you had uh I think you had some history of panic attacks or something or and they what did they what do they say about that um so I I talked to her about that and and told her that I have been having some panic attacks he basically said okay so here’s a script for you to go to the psychiatrist and I did go to the psychiatrists and they said okay w
