Dear Health Conscious Reader,
I love being in my 50s. I have the wisdom to use what I’ve learned in 30 years of being a doctor. And I’ll keep learning new things, too. It’s a great time in my life.
But I don’t want to live forever. Don’t get me wrong, I want to keep going the way I can now well into my 90s, and even past 100. But immortality doesn’t appeal to me.
I don’t know about you, but when I think of living forever, it’s scary and depressing. Everyone I know would be gone. It would be like a curse straight out of a science fiction movie.
What I do want is to keep getting new insights … more knowledge. I want to maintain my abilities, so I can still use that understanding years from now. I want to keep getting better.
To that end, we’ve developed some new testing at my clinic that will tell us how we’re getting better with different systems. I tested myself (or rather my clinic tested me) and I have the pulmonary age of a 25-year-old and the cardiovascular age of a 35-year-old.
I have my own theory about why my heart and lungs test so young. I think part of it is my exercise program of PACE. The next thing I would credit is a major anti-aging breakthrough I want to share with you.
The primary breakthrough is the discovery of telomerase (teh-lah-mer-race). It may be the biggest in the history of anti-aging medicine. It’s so revolutionary, the research behind it won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2009.
Telomerase is the enzyme your body uses to rebuild the telomeres (tee-loh-meers) at the ends of your DNA. Every time your DNA makes a copy of itself to form a new
cell, the telomeres get a tiny bit shorter. And when they get too short, your DNA knows it can’t make accurate copies anymore, so the cell stops dividing and dies.The more cells you have that are like this, the older your body acts. But when you activate telomerase, your telomeres don’t shorten, and aging in those cells slows to a crawl.1
I’m so excited about this technology … it’s one of the reasons I’m building my new Sears Anti-Aging and Wellness Center.
Our goal is to make 100 the new 50 and I hope we achieve this in my lifetime. I want you to be able to keep gaining wisdom right into your triple digits and still do everything you could in your 50s. Whether you want to work or play, exercise or travel … anything’s possible.
And guess what? I think we can do it.
One of the ways we’re going to be able to do this is to improve your Body Intelligence.
What do I mean by Body Intelligence? I mean that we’re going to quantify every measurement your body can give us, including:
- the power of your heart
- the strength of your bones
- the flexibility of your arteries
- your body composition
- your VO2 max (human horsepower)
- the reserve capacity of your lungs and heart
- your reaction time
- your vision
- your speed
- your physical power
- your functional muscle strength
- your capacity to stop inflammation
- your body’s immune health
- your capability for fighting oxidation…
…and much more.
Then we’ll show you how to use those measurements to make your body’s IQ as high as possible, and your biological age as young as possible.
The goal is to show you how to catch up your Body Intelligence to all the knowledge you’ve gained, and empower you to stay active and keep moving like a 50-year-old right through the age of 100.
That way, you can have all the energy and vitality you’ll need for what will be the best half of your life.
You see, I don’t believe aging is a disease. There sure isn’t a cure for it, but anti-aging is about helping you live younger as the years go by so you can stay active and keep your independence.
Advancing age is the biggest factor that stops us from maintaining normal, healthy function throughout our bodies. In fact, for Americans over 65:
- Less than 90 percent have healthy lungs
- Less than 85 percent process blood sugar normally
- Fewer than 66 percent have healthy joints
- Only 50 percent have normal cardiovascular function2
And did you know that for bone marrow transplants, the age of the donor is the only thing significantly linked to survival of the recipients?3 The younger the donor, the likelier it is that the person getting the marrow will live.
And now we know the reason.
It’s because younger bone marrow has more cells with longer telomeres. And the longer the telomeres in the bone marrow cells, the more undifferentiated the cells are. That means they have the potential to make more of a wider variety of cells for the recipient.
These advances in DNA technology and the possibility to slow down or even reverse telomere shortening are some of the reasons why my new clinic will focus on reducing your “biological” age.
We’ll be getting your body to act younger by improving your Body Intelligence. And we’ll help you maintain the building blocks of your body – your DNA – so that your individual cells can act young and healthy, too.
The problem has been that until now, even though we knew a lot about what activating telomerase could do, there was no way to do it. No one had found a way to keep your telomeres from shortening, allowing your body to stay young and vital.
That is, until a group of researchers isolated a molecule from a rare form of the Astragalus plant that only grows in the temperate northern climate of China.
Through a unique process, they’ve been able to find this single molecule and separate it from among the plant’s 2,000 other compounds. Then they extract it and purify it.
I’d been following research in this field for years, and I received permission to use this technology as part of my anti-aging medical practice. I was the first physician anywhere licensed to administer it to my patients.
The results are astounding. In my practice, those I’ve treated over a 12-month period as part of a program to promote good health, on average, have:
- Reduced their pulmonary age;
- Decreased their c-reactive protein or CRP levels (a key indicator of inflammation and heart health);
- Decreased their neurological age.
Even the media is noticing. Did you read the story about it in The Wall Street Journal?
Researchers took mice that study authors said were “equivalent to 80-year-old humans and were about to pass away” and activated their telomerase. Afterward, “they were the physiological equivalent of young adults.”4
CBS News and the BBC are reporting that people activating their telomerase are improving their lung capacity, have healthy joints, glowing skin and simply don’t get sick like they used to.5
And I can attest to the anti-aging results myself. After using this technology for over a year, I can tell you there’s nothing else like it.
I can document from my own blood tests that the telomere length of my T-lymphocytes also correlates to that of a 35-year-old.
In fact, in a prominent peer-reviewed study, those using this DNA technology as part of a supplement protocol reduced their percentage of cells with short telomeres. Parts of their immune system appeared to act like they belonged to someone 20 years younger!6
Imagine for a moment what this means … for the first time ever there is real potential to slow the process of aging naturally.
Maximize your own potential and preserve the youth and vitality of your cells for years; and be accepted into the first group on its way to making 100 years old the new 50 in your lifetime.
