Then there were two other things and the second of it,
of them was something about a shake, a shake bed.
Shake what?
It's low vibration therapy.
So what happens in, in, in the elderly
and deconditioned people is, you know,
they can't get into zone two cardio and they can't exercise.
We all know the benefits of exercise, right?
We, maybe we can go down that road, but if you don't,
you know, exercise is probably the single best
hallmark activity to ward off aging,
all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease.
You see this in blue zone studies.
You see this in meta-analyses.
You see this in all the big-
Alzheimer's.
Alzheimer's, which is now also being called
type three diabetes.
If you Google type three diabetes,
you'll see that type three diabetes is Alzheimer's.
We used to think that Alzheimer's was the presence
of neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid plaques.
That is the by-product of Alzheimer's.
The genesis of Alzheimer's is insulin resistance.
So if you only had one biomarker that you were tracking
and you said, I'm only going to choose one biomarker
that I'm going to manage for the rest of my life,
if you managed your, your insulin level
and what's called your hemoglobin A1C,
the three-month average of your blood sugar,
that would probably do more to ward off all-cause mortality
than anything else that you do,
which is why exercise is so beneficial.
But they're doing a few things here.
One, they're using low-impact vibration.
So these vibration plates put several Gs of force
through the body in very short bursts, vertical bursts.
The reason why that's important is it helps the bones
to strengthen and remineralize.
You know, for decades, we always thought
that brittle bones was low calcium,
but that is patently false.
Our bones are not even calcium.
Our bones are calcium bound to something called phosphorus
and they form something called hydroxyapatite.
So our bones are hydroxyapatite, not calcium.
In order for calcium and phosphorus to bind,
you need 12 minerals.
If you're missing any one of those 12 minerals,
your bones do not ossify
and you get osteopenia or osteoporosis.
You can go to assisted care living facilities
all over the world and see elderly men and women
that have osteopenia or osteoporosis
and that have been on calcium supplements for 25 years.
I promise you this, calcium is not the answer.
Minerals are the answer.
Taking a mineral salt would do more for bone density
than taking calcium.
You know, usually these people are not calcium deficient.
Most of us are not calcium deficient.
By the way, if you take too much calcium,
it ends up in the arterial wall.
This is where we get calcification
and hardening of the arteries.
So mineral salt is something that should also be
in your daily routine.
I take a mineral salt called Baja Gold.
There are lots of great mineral salts out there.
Redmond salt, calcium salt.
How much of that do you put in?
I actually saw you mention that and I ordered it.
He did.
How much of that do you put,
like in the morning,
my doctor actually told me a while ago,
start your day with a glass of water
and put a little salt in there.
Yes.
He doesn't, he didn't recommend it for my husband
who's got some high blood pressure,
but for me, he did.
But I usually-
But like, is it just a pinch?
You know, there's,
So Baja Gold has a liquid mineral dropper.
This is probably the cheapest biohack in the world
and it's my favorite biohack.
You can buy a bag of this salt for about 15 bucks
and it'll last you five years.
I buy the liquid mineral salt,
comes in a dropper,
and I put two squirts of it in a glass of water
in the morning with all eight essential amino acids
and a hydrogen tablet.
I put those three things in water
and I whack that back first thing in the morning.
And I never, ever, ever, ever miss that.
All nine essential amino acids.
And that gives you the hydrogen
and that gives you the minerals you need?
Mm-hmm.
Probably have those with me.
I literally never leave home without these things.
So hydrogen gas, this is the one that I use.
I use one called H2 Tab.
I love a prop.
Sorry, I'll take that up, but-
No, I love it.
But-
The visual aid, everybody loves the visual aid.
This is, this is,
I will tell you that the role of hydrogen gas
in the human body, mark my words on this,
is the greatest discovery of our millennia.
Hydrogen water, hydrogen inhalation,
and even bathing in hydrogen gas
will be as common as a multivitamin in 10 years.
The evidence is absolutely crystal clear.
And I am talking about human trials
of peer-reviewed, placebo-controlled,
randomized clinical trials
conducted at gold-standard universities
that are in the public domain that have been published.
Think about this.
In 2006, $20,000 equaled roughly 33 ounces of gold
at spot price.
At today's prices,
those 33 ounces would be worth about $165,000.
That's why many smart Americans diversify
a portion of their savings into precious metals.
And that's why you should consider buying gold
from Birch Gold Group.
For thousands of years, gold has been a store of wealth.
And today, it's a crucial part of any balance strategy.
Even better, Birch Gold can help you convert
an existing IRA or 401k
into a tax-sheltered retirement account in gold.

Hydrogen is the smallest, lightest element in the universe.
It's highest on the periodic table.
It's also the most prevalent element in the universe.
10% of your body weight is hydrogen,
so it's harmless to human beings.
The role that hydrogen gas has in the human body
we have only recently discovered.
So hydrogen acts as what's called a selective antioxidant.
So in other words, it doesn't just reduce oxidative stress,
it reduces oxidative stress to neutrality.
It restores something called redox homeostasis.
And why is that important?
Because too much inflammation, too much oxidation,
too many free radicals, very bad.
Too little inflammation, too few free radicals,
too little oxidation, also very bad.
You want there to be a balance,
which is called redox homeostasis.
You want there to be a balance
between what's called inflammation and reduction.
But when you take hydrogen gas,
it restores this to neutrality, to balance, and stops,
even if you take too much.
There is not a professional athlete that I work with,
there's not a VIP client whose health trajectory I manage
who is not regularly bathing in hydrogen gas
and does not take hydrogen water tablets every single day.
And you can just take elemental magnesium,
which is what a hydrogen tablet is, drop it into water,
and it will effervesce into pure hydrogen gas,
and you can drink it.
So what happens when that goes into the body
is it neutralizes these free radicals.
So when we say something is an antioxidant, for example,
like what does that mean?
Blueberries are antioxidants.
Vitamin C is an antioxidant.
Quercetin is an antioxidant.
What does that mean?
It means that it donates electrons.
So something is causing free radical damage
and oxidative stress,
you neutralize it by giving it electrons.
So hydrogen, because it can pass through your skin,
through your bones, through your cell wall,
right through your joints, through the capsule of your joint,
it can go right through your spine,
it is the smallest, lightest element in the universe,
the fraction of the size of a virus.
And so it goes everywhere in the human body
and reduces this inflammatory cascade.
I don't even talk about this in the public domain
because people would call me a complete charlatan,
but I have a hydrogen bath at my house,
and I have put people into that tub, Megan,
nearly crippled with arthritis,
and they will skip out of my unit
like they won the lottery.
My wife, Sage, has an L5-S1 fusion,
spinal fusion in her back.
And if you know anything about spinal surgeries,
they never really go well.
You just buy yourself a problem down the street.
Anybody that's had back surgery knows.
In another life, I was married to an interventional
pain management doctor.
Were you?
And he used to say,
I can help anybody except somebody
who's actually had back surgery.
Yeah.
And usually starts with a dysectomy,
starts with a fusion,
and then it goes to another level,
and another fusion,
and another dysectomy,
and then rods.
But so my wife, Sage, has an L5-S1 fusion.
So she had her sacrum fused to her first lumbar vertebrae
because of a really bad car accident she was in.
And ever since then,
when that surgery acts up,
it just goes right up her spine,
and it just cramps her whole spine down.
If I bathe her in hydrogen gas for 25 minutes,
she'll sleep eight hours through the night.
Like a child.
It is a selective antioxidant.
I will send you the research,
the published research on this,
and you can put it in the show notes
so your readers can,
or your listeners can check it out for themselves.
There's also a website called hydrogenstudies.com
where you can see all 1,500 peer-reviewed studies.
You can select out the animal studies,
just look at human studies.
It will be as common as a multivitamin,
especially in professional sports.
