The Four M’s of Longevity
05:47
Mindset
- The mindset is perception.
- Our perception of some things determines how fast or slow our physiology responds.
- In a 20-year-long study, the individuals who perceived aging as a process of gaining wisdom showed to have lived an average of 7.5 years longer.
- The moment you notice fear on any level, let that trigger your mind to look from the other side. That will train your mind to just look forward vs. back; into seeing new potentials and possibilities that will speak to your physiology and have a positive effect.
09:01
Movement
- There is nothing that compares to exercise when it comes to slowing down the biological age (at the cellular level).
- If you are in the top quartile of people doing exercise, you have five times less chance of dying from anything than the people in the bottom quartile.
- We have these perceptions of what it means to move/exercise. How we perceive the rightness and wrongness is what gets us stuck, and we never move forward.
- Move in a way that feels good for you.
12:00
Molecules
- What we miss the most are the essential molecules that the cell needs to survive let alone thrive—oxygen, complex carbs, essential amino acids.
- Oxygen is one of the most important. We are in a chronic state of hypercar
- We are excreting too much CO2 and not getting enough O2 at the cellular level
- Start with being aware of your breath: Breathe slow, low, in and out through the nose.
14:46
Meaning
- A long life lived well. Of purpose.
- Being here now and noticing what brings richness, curiosity, and light to life.
- Just by being here now and sharing this information—consider what has meaning for you—can be a gamechanger for the future.
