Dr Olli Sovijärvi (0:29)

Thank you Welcome to the Biohackers live show. My name is Dr. Olli Sovijärvi. And today, our topic is how to reverse aging and extend lifespan and health span.

Today, Teemu Haarena couldn't make it, but we have our favorite guest Siim Land, who is really an expert also on this topic. And we're gonna spend an hour, an hour and a half discussing about the hallmarks of aging. How can we can like prevent our degradation of the body and the mind and keep ourselves thriving, energetic, and first and foremost, healthy. To actually have some healthy years and functional years increased into our lifespan and health span. But first, I would like to remind you that our next huge event, the Biohacker Summit, is totally concentrating on this topic, reversing aging and extending health span. So you are most welcome to beautiful summer Finland in the third and fourth of June in 2022 in Helsinki, Finland. So go to biohackersummit.com and we have some special Black Week discounts for all of you. But shortly, what is the Biohacker Summit? Maybe you have been there or maybe you haven't. But I think this is like maybe the 11th or even the 12th Biohacker Summit we are organizing. And this year, due to COVID and all kinds of restrictions and, well, you know the story, we haven't organized any event, but this event will be even bigger and better.

And let's just see what you are going to have and why this is so important topic. Because at least a quarter, even almost a half of the population live with multiple chronic conditions. And those could be easily fixed with lifestyle factors.

And when it comes to biohacking, which is actually preventive health, it's also about optimizing human performance and well-being with the help of the latest science, technological interventions, nature, top expert, data-driven self-experiments and so on. We want to actually move from lifespan to health span. And this is also what we are going to be discussing with Siim Land today. It's not point into living into an old age if you are spending the last 30 years in a daycare type of conditions that you cannot actually have a functional, really thriving body.

For who is the BiOptimizers Summit? We have had guests from over 30, even 40 different countries consisting of entrepreneurs, investors, innovators, early adopters first and foremost, but also medical and wellness professionals, even academics and designers, and maybe like you, who seems to be a health and wellness enthusiast. So it doesn't matter where in the world you are coming from, you are most welcome to Helsinki to the BiOptimizers Summit. We have over 40 top keynote speakers and we cover all kinds of topics ranging from longevity and life extension to psychology, self-improvement, immune system improvement, gut health, sleep, circadian biology, nervous system, brain health, going deep into nutrition, metabolism, fasting and ketogenic diet benefits, and especially like the fasting benefits, calorie restriction. But also natural elements including water, cold, heat, light and electromagnetic exposure, biomechanics, resilience, stress management, optimal recovery. And of course, a big part of all this is quantifying yourself with the latest wearables and genetic and lab testing.

The exhibition area is going to be massive. It's going to be packed with all kinds of biohacking equipment and therapy devices.

This is like a dream come true for a true biohacker. If you are really into all kinds of gadgets and supplements and different nutritional things that you can actually try right in the exhibition area. We have biomedical testing, biomarker analysis, different wearables, apps, digital health, all kinds of things for physical exercise and sports equipment, wellness and health services and so on and so on and so on. And of course our food is nothing but the latest and the best in the quality. So you will enjoy and have steady energy levels throughout the exhibition and throughout the summit.

And this is actually the thermogenic spa. This is probably one of our most welcomed and most liked part of the exhibition and the summit. And people, when they're having like enough of knowledge coming into the different kind of keynotes, they can go and have a little relax, have a little cold, hot or heat alteration and jump into the Finnish sauna. Or even, you know, hop into the cold plunge or even to the ocean. So this is absolutely a beautiful experience for the two days that the summit is going to cover.

But that's not all. We have the Upgrade Dinner. This is usually on Wednesdays or Thursdays, actually Thursdays before the summit begins. It's a five course dinner prepared for yourself by leading chef Sami Talberg. And of course, we are there as well. Me, Teemu Arena and Jakko Halmatuja and other top biohackers. And the point of this is that fine dining is kind of last season. You get small portions which are beautiful, but you don't actually get what your body craves, which is nutty and dense, super high quality seasonal food that actually get you filled and satisfied, but being at the same time very delicious. So everything is upgraded with the latest culinary kitchen techniques and also careful attention to the biochemistry.
