hey resetters on this video I want to talk about something that's really near and dear to my heart which is how do we look and feel younger I can tell you at 53 I'm trying to pull all the hacks that I can find that we know will slow the aging process down and there's some really cool hacks that are science back that I've discovered that I want to share with you on this video here's the concept that I want you to think about first is that when we look at our cellular makeup we have 72
trillion cells in our body and each one of these cells have a battery pack and this battery pack is what we call our mitochondria and when these mitochondria when these batteries start to wear down much like our cell phones when they start to wear down they don't perform at their best so the game of anti-aging is to power up these battery packs so that your cells can perform all the beautiful functions that they're meant to perform and that in the nutshell will slow down how quickly these cells age it's all about the battery that's going
to affect the Aging of cells and remember cells have a they have a life to them if the life is going much quicker if they're growing and dying and growing and dying quicker because the battery is not powered up then that's really at the core of what aging is that's an accelerated aging rate so let's dive into what did the mitochondria need what do these batteries need these things I'm about to tell you are what power up your mitochondria the first is light so it's really interesting think about this there are actually light receptors on
the outside of your mitochondria this is why red light works so well this is why we you know so many of us that are out trying to educate people on how to go back to some of the Primitive healing techniques that our ancestors used one of them was light was full spectrum light red light from sunset and sunrise we need to have light to fuel these mitochondria so if you're inside all the time in synthetic light you're actually not giving your mitochondria the natural light it needs so make sure you get up at sunrise make
sure you go for a walk at Sunset make sure you're getting out in the middle of the day without your sunglasses on so your eyes can register where it is in its day and your mitochondria of your body can get those that full spectrum light to Power It Up the light is a biggie oxygen is the next one so are you moving there's so much evidence right now that we're sitting at our computers at our desks we're not moving get out in the middle of the day go for a walk we also can use some
really cool ways to drive oxygen into our cells like a lot of Wim Hoff kind of style breathing techniques you can also look at things like hyperbaric oxygen talked a lot about that compressing oxygen driving it into the cells is an anti-aging tool to power up those mitochondria the other thing we know about the mitochondria is around the outside of these little battery packs is a membrane a bilipid membrane lipid means fat so when you give your mitochondria good fat then what ends up happening is that you make their membranes porous so they can pull
in nutrients that you might be eating in your diet and then the last thing for the mitochondria that I love that I do I know you love too you just might not know it's fueling your mitochondria or ketones your mitochondria need ketones so make sure that you're metabolically switching in and out so that you can get ketones to power up your batteries of your cells now this is one of the reasons why they believe that fasting is really helpful for slowing the aging process down because when we look at dipping into these fasted States getting
ketones not only are you bringing inflammation down not only are you getting all the repair benefits that I've taught you around these six different fasts but you're also getting your ketones are being made so they can power up these mitochondria so there's magic and Synergy to really building mitochondria strong stay all the way through the end of this video because I'm going to show you how you can do this in a daily routine okay I gotta interrupt this video because I have a free guide for you so you can Master fasting it's called a beginner's
guide to a fasting lifestyle and all you've got to do is click here and you can jump right in second principle we want to think about when we want to slow the aging process down is our hormone now this goes for men and women the first hormonal cycle you want to bring back is something called your circadian rhythm this is getting up with the sunlight can you get up and let your eyes see that Morning Light I talked about that with the mitochondria but when your eyes see that morning reddish Hue it starts your circadian
rhythm and so your cortisol production will start your melatonin shuts off cortisol will start to produce and so you're getting cortisol about 90 minutes after you wake up so that is cortisol that you can now used to go exercise and move That's The Power of getting into this hormonal circadian rhythm now for women we have another Rhythm we have to think about and that's our menstrual Rhythm if you're a menstruating woman so this is what fast like a girl is all about make sure when your hormones are going high at day 10 to day 15
you're changing your food you're fast your exercise everything I've taught you here and then fast like a girl and then the back half the week before your period let's make sure we're nurturing ourselves and we're winding down so that we can start to be in natural rhythm with the way our hormones are flowing for my post-menopausal women who are probably the ones that are most motivated to slow the aging process down make sure you're doing the five lifestyle changes that I talked about in the menopause reset make sure you're cycling your fast make sure you're
cycling your foods make sure you're working on your microbiome make sure you're detoxing and you're working on on the rushing woman in you that's how you are going to get into rhythm with your hormones but when we look at this big picture idea of how do I slow down aging we've got to have those mitochondria healthy and we've got to have our hormones healthy for men your hormonal cycle is going to be more rhythmic in the Circadian rhythm of the 24-hour day cycle so hormonal balance mitochondrial Health here's how it looks in a daily basis
when you get up in the morning you know this is we shouldn't get up and rush out the door get up and have more of a gentle lift to your day like I like I talked about are you getting up with the sunrise are you doing breath work in the morning this is what I do I meditate I do my breath work I ease myself in then you want to look at your cortisol Spike 90 minutes after I get up I'm going for a walk I'm trying to work out that I'm having my cup of
coffee then because I'm riding my cortisol Spike then in the middle of the day I you know I come back home back into my house where I work and I do my all my intense work in the morning midday I go out into this for a walk again 20 minute walk and I without sunglasses on so I can get that full spectrum light stimulate serotonin receptor sites in my eyes so I can get a mood lift I do that in the middle of the day go back into my office I start working and then three
or four o'clock in the afternoon you know there's a lot of really cool evidence right now of the power of a 15 to 20 minute nap just to wind the brain down give the brain a chance to rest so you can make make sure your brain stays fresh you don't burn your brain out and destroy those neurons from overuse so take a short little break in the afternoon and then eat your dinner around Sunset and then as the night sky starts to kick in it gets dark out make sure you're not on your blue light
make sure you're slowing yourself down and you're winding and prioritizing sleep make sure you have a sleep tracker so you can see the quality of your sleep so it's a lifestyle it's an anti-aging lifestyle one that I think you will find will invigorate you and not not only keep you looking great but more importantly keeping you feeling great that's the real secret to aging as always I hope that helped and put in the comments which one of these is your favorite hack keep believing in yourself okay if you love this video you're going to want
to check out the next video of my food series I on this video want to talk about the healthy foods that you might be eating that will stop you from a long and healthy life
