352: You Can Live A LOT Longer Than You Think

What is all this wealth stuff for anyway? I have spent the last 15 years trying to accumulate wealth. It wasn't until about two years ago that I decided to start spending it. Why? Well, there were some major changes in my life and it made me think about mortality. Don't worry…my health is great. But everyone has to die someday right? Before this realization, I was doing what pretty much all responsible professionals do. I was working hard and wouldn't spend much money on myself. In hindsight, I'm not sure what I was waiting for. I probably should've tried to spend more on myself in my 20s and 30s and had some more fun. Of course, I can't change that now. But what I can do is to start enjoying life and trying to figure out how to stay feeling young as long as possible so I can make up for lost time. The good news for all of us is that there is an abundance of science and technology growth in the field of longevity and it's developing fast. We know so much more than our parents did on what to eat, how often to eat, how to optimize exercise and…what supplements and prescription drugs appear to lengthen not only lifespan, but more importantly, healthspan. There is so much information out there that it is also a time to be careful. Just think about all the money fraudsters can make off people by selling them the fountain of youth. As a physician myself (not practicing), I have spent a lot of time trying to understand what's real and what's not. Some of my friends and investors in our own community have pivoted their careers to the practice of longevity medicine. They know more than me. One of these guys is Dr. Rob Hamilton. Rob spoke at our last Wealth Formula event and seriously blew the audience away with his presentation. He is an encyclopedia of knowledge in the field of longevity and my guest on Wealth Formula Podcast this week. If this stuff is new for you, I urge you to start looking into what's out there. After all, what's the point of accumulating wealth if you don't have a long healthy life to enjoy it? Whether you are already on that journey or are interested in learning more, you will want to listen to this podcast. I'm biased because of my interests, but I think you might find this to be one of the most useful podcasts you've ever listened to in your life.
