1KHO 913: Why Younger Generations Are Aging Faster | Dr. Will Cole, Heal Your Cells

Ginny Yurich (0:00)

There are so many things we think about when we think about our kids' future. What will they become? Who will they marry? Where will they live? What will our family look like 10, 20, 30 years from now? And somewhere along the way, we realize that planning for their future also means planning for the possibility that life doesn't go exactly the way we hope. That's why we have life insurance. Not because we live afraid of what might happen. Actually, it's the opposite. It gives us peace of mind, knowing that if something happened to one of us, the other wouldn't suddenly be trying to figure out how to support five kids while also dealing with unimaginable loss. If you've been putting this off, Ethos makes getting life insurance remarkably simple. It's 100% online. You can get a quote in seconds, apply in minutes, and potentially get same-day coverage. There's no medical exam, just a few simple health questions. You can get up to $3 million in coverage with some policies as low as $30 a month. You spend your whole life taking care of your family. This is one more way to take care of their future. Take 10 minutes to get covered today with life insurance through Ethos. Get a free quote at ethos.com/1000hours. That's ethos.com/1000hours.

Was breakfast for dinner a big deal in anyone else's house growing up? Because there was something about having French toast at 6 o'clock at night that felt like you were getting away with something. And that is exactly the kind of nostalgia Ka'Chava's new cinnamon French toast flavor taps into.

It tastes like an actual comfort food. Warm cinnamon, that slightly sweet French toast flavor, except you're getting plant-based protein, fiber, greens, and whole body nutrition in a shake. I think that's what Ka'Chava does really well. The flavors are genuinely good. Cinnamon French Toast is the newest one, but there's chocolate, vanilla, chai, matcha, coconut acai, strawberry, coffee, chocolate mint. You can actually find the flavor you look forward to drinking. Treat yourself to a childhood favorite. Go to kachava.com and use code 1000HOURS for 15% off your first order. That's Ka'Chava, kachava.com.

Hey friends, welcome back to the 1000 Hours Outside Podcast. If you're listening in in the United States, I hope you had a wonderful Labor Day weekend. Here we are, the unofficial start of fall. School is starting, schedules are filling back up, and for so many of us, life is about to get a whole lot busier. And today's conversation is such a good one to start this season with. My friend Dr. Will Cole is back, and we are talking about something pretty sobering. Younger generations are experiencing chronic health problems earlier, and some research suggests we're actually aging faster than generations before us. But this is not a doom and gloom conversation.

It's really a conversation about how remarkably resilient our bodies are, and how much we can still do. We talk about everything from cellular aging and energy, distress, trauma, peptides, movement, and why something as simple as getting outside can be profoundly healing. Will says something I absolutely love, Nature Therapy was the original biohack. Before we jump in, if you're not already following the 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, would you hit the follow button? We have so many brand new conversations coming your way this fall. We're talking about everything from why eating a little dirt might actually be good for you, to how to be more popular, to sailing around the world alone, to ticks, to people who vanish in national parks. We're talking friendship, happiness, purpose, family dynamics, movement, screens, homeschooling, travel, and a whole lot more.

Some of you have made this podcast part of your daily rhythm and I love that. But if there are more episodes than you need, just pick the conversations that sound most interesting to you. There's no falling behind here. I just want there to always be a really good conversation waiting for you. Okay, here we go. My friend, Dr. Will Cole.

Welcome to The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast.

I'm the founder of 1000 Hours Outside, and I have a friend back with me today. This is a cool story. I think I reached out a long time ago to have you on the show. And then it was like, oh, I kind of knew your wife through homeschooling. Then I met up with your wife. And then from there, it's like, we went to Disney. I mean, it's just like, it's a cool thing. I adore your family. Dr. Will Cole, and you have a new book coming out. Welcome.

Oh my gosh, friend. Yeah, it's just any reason to hang out with you, it's such a blessing. And I said this, I know I've said this to you before, but I want to say on the record in front of everybody, like you are one of the most gifted speakers, communicators I've ever met in my life. And I don't say that lightly. Like I go on podcasts, I hear people speak at different events. I've seen you obviously give it on your podcast and seen you speak it live.
