Hi, guys. Okay, everybody stand up. Okay, what you're going to do is you're going to choose your left or your right foot. I'm going to count down from three, and you're going to stay standing on your selected foot as long as you can, with your eyes closed. Okay? Hands by your side. You can't be out. It's got to be close by. Your foot's got to be somewhere close by. You can't be clear out. Okay? So just choose right or left foot. And those of you on the balcony, be careful. If somebody fell off, that would be a bad situation. Okay? Foot's selected. Let me pull out my timer. And I'm going to count the number of seconds to pass, okay? Ready? Three, two, one, close your eyes. Five seconds. Ten seconds. And your foot can't move. Stationary.
Okay, we'll stop there. Who's still up? Okay, good, okay, good. We'll do it one more time. All right. You got, no, no, no, stay up. This is a biological age test. As you age, part of your brain that keeps you well-balanced atrophies, and you can't maintain the balance very well. So kids are very good at this. As you age, you get worse, okay? So if you are between 15 and 30 seconds, that's roughly age 20 to 40, seven to 15 seconds, you're between 40 and 60, and zero to seven, you're 60 plus. As an age category, okay? Yeah, yep. All right, ready? You can choose again, right or left foot. Your foot's got to be stationary, you can't move it around. Arms close by, okay? Three, two, one, go.
Five, 10, 15, 20 Make it a third of you guys. Ten more seconds.
30 OK, cool. Good job, you guys. All right, you can take a seat. This is the neat thing about biological age testing, is you, of course, know when you were born, and therefore you know how many years you've lived. You can look at yourself in the mirror and say, you know, I have a few wrinkles, a few spots. But actually, in your body, your organs have different ages. So your lungs are a certain age, your brain, your eyes, your ears, your gums, your pancreas, your liver, they're all different biological ages. And it's really important to know, for example, my left, so I'm 47, my left ear is 64 years old. It's because I shot a lot of guns as a kid. I was right-handed like this, with a lot of exposure in my ear. And I also listened to a lot of loud music. And so that's really important for me to know because when you have hearing loss and you don't correct for it with a hearing aid, it can affect, it can result in cognitive decline. So this applies to all things about the heart. And so a couple of years ago, I posed this question. Are we really the first generation who won't die? It's kind of the coolest question in existence. What matters more than our experience, our ability to live? And so to do this, I wanted to do an experiment. So I measured the biological age of every organ of my body as much as we could. We then went through the scientific evidence and we tried to reverse and or slow down my speed of aging. And what I've been trying to do is create a sport or a new genre of what it means to be healthy. And so I put my biomarkers out and said, basically I have the best biomarkers of anybody in the world, anyone's willing, anyone's, you know, capable of competing with me, but try to make it like a quantified thing where it's just like I'm healthy or not. And so it's been a really fun journey. And so today I'm going to tell you guys in just a few minutes time, everything I've learned about health, I'm going to compress it into some very simple lessons for you because health is really complicated. It's very confusing. It's all consuming. It's overwhelming. Cool. Okay. So first, who got eight hours of sleep last night? Seven. Six. Five. Four. Three. Thank you for your honesty. Two. Thank you, sir. One. Yeah, I appreciate that. Okay. Who has a confession to make? Who recently polished off a bag of chips, ate some ice cream, and then jams and twizzlers? What did you do, sir? Chips. A whole bag. One sitting. All right. Who else? Yeah, what did you do?
