Dr. Mark Hyman: The Secret to Aging Backwards and Improving Your Health | Mental Health | YAPClassic

Hey, Young and Profiters, when I think back to the early days of YAP Media, I was way too scrappy. I'm talking about working out of coffee shops, bouncing between public Wi-Fi networks and hotspotting from my phone just to get through on a client call without the connection dropping. But looking back, it was actually adding a lot of unnecessary stress, because you realize pretty quickly your business is only as strong as your connection. It's how you run meetings, serve clients, and keep everything moving. And that's exactly why I wish I had AT&T Business back then. They're built for small business owners who need their internet to work without second-guessing it. And once you've had that kind of reliability, you get real peace of mind. You can show up fully, close deals, serve your clients, and focus on growing your business without any of the stress.
You need a provider that is as serious about your success as you are, like AT&T Business. Built to work, get AT&T Business at business.att.com.
Hey, YAP fam, we're about to launch something that might be my favorite thing we've ever done on the podcast. A brand new series called How We Profit. Now, I've been doing Young and Profiting Podcast for eight years, and my listeners are successful. We are real entrepreneurs with real businesses, and a lot of you guys are crushing it behind the scenes. You may not be super famous. You may not be a billionaire yet, but you've got a business that you've learned how to scale, and we want to hear from you. One of the best ways to learn as an entrepreneur is from your peers, and I found it super helpful to be in these peer entrepreneurship groups, and learn from other entrepreneurs who are at my level, but just in a different industry. So that's what I want to bring to this podcast. I want this to be our own peer group, but on the podcast. So I'm going to be interviewing people who are making anywhere from $500,000 to $10 million a year. They're not super famous, they're not the typical billionaires that are on my show. These are real entrepreneurs who are crushing it behind the scenes, and we're going to uncover what they do to sell, how they get their customers, what their profit margin looks like, how they market, and so much more. If this sounds like you and you want to be featured on Young and Profiting Podcast for our How We Profit series, just head to youngandprofiting.com/apply, and share your story. Let me know why you think you should be featured on the show. Again, that's youngandprofiting.com/apply. Who knows? Maybe you'll be our next guest on Young and Profiting Podcast. You want to live to be 120 years old. Why do you actually want to live so long?

I love life. What is the definition of health? It's not the absence of disease, it's something else. How do we unlock the keys to optimal biological performance? I spent the 40 years studying the science of function of the body. Frailty is not a normal consequence of aging. It's a consequence of phenomena that happens as we get older, if we don't do something about it. We have dysregulated sleep schedules, we have tremendous amounts of stress, we eat crappy food, we don't exercise enough. There's all these things that we're doing to impede our ability to actually live a vibrant, long, healthy life.

What did you do to reverse your age 20 years?

**Mark Hyman** (3:05)
I have been eating.

**Hala Taha** (3:07)
Let's say you gave you a 35-year-old, they're stressed, exhausted, running on coffee. If you had a year to transform their health and performance, what are the things that you would change?

**Mark Hyman** (3:18)
I would immediately have them again.

Yeah, fam, what if aging wasn't something that just happened to you, but something you could actually control? What if the fatigue, the brain fog, the chronic conditions we've been told are just part of getting older, are actually preventable? That's exactly what today's guest is here to talk about. Dr. Mark Hyman is a renowned functional medicine physician, best-selling author, and one of the leading voices in the science of longevity. His mission is simple, help people not just live longer, but better. In this conversation, Mark is going to share some science-backed insights to help you improve your health, extend your lifespan, and defy aging. There's some serious gems in this one, so tune in and take notes. I'm so excited for this conversation and there's so much to talk about, but I just want to jump in and get started. So I was reading your book, I was researching you, and I found out that you want to live to be 120 years old.
