60% of the people who have a deadly first heart attack, the very first symptom of even having heart disease was their own death. I had just passed a cardiac stress test with flying colors, and I had just gotten a wonderful glowing bill of health from my trusted physicians, and then I had a heart attack and almost died. It's like, what? There's a philosophy that goes, a cured patient is a lost customer. Doctors have saved my life, so I don't wanna badmouth all of them, but they're in a system, they were taught in pharma-funded medical schools, and big pharma only wants them with a prescription pad in one hand and a scalpel or whatever tool there is in the other. I decided to dive into the science to figure out, how could this happen to me? And what I discovered absolutely just blew my mind.

Here's an interesting question. How much do you actually know about the way your everyday habits are supporting how you age? We hear so much about longevity right now. Sleep, protein, strength training, nutrition, all of these things matter, but there's another layer that doesn't get nearly as much attention as it should. What's happening inside your cells? Your mitochondria produce the cellular energy that your body relies upon every day. And mitochondrial dysfunction, that's considered a central hallmark of aging. And that's why I've been so interested in the work Timeline does with Mitopure. Mitopure is their pure and patented form of urolithin A. It supports mitochondrial function and cellular renewal by activating mitophagy, your body's natural process for clearing out damaged mitochondria. But rather than just tell you about it, Timeline wants you to think about your own longevity habits. So they've created a longevity quiz that takes just a few minutes, and it looks at some of the everyday habits that can support healthy aging. And the best part, if you complete the quiz, Timeline will send you a free sample of Mitopure Gummies. So take the quiz, learn a little bit more about how you're supporting the way you age, and try Mitopure for yourself. Go to timeline.com/gemelli to take the longevity quiz and get your free gummies. That's timeline.com/gemelli.
All right, everybody, welcome back to the Dylan Gemelli Podcast. So I was having a pre-podcast discussion with my friend here, because we can go on and on and on. I thought, man, we better click the record button, not miss out on all the things we're getting into. So my friend here has done quite a bit of work that I just find to be not just fascinating, but so impactful. And it is one of those things, to me, that's soothing to the soul to see somebody that has taken some things that they've gone through and made it basically his life work to try to help people and get messaging out. He's not a fear monger or someone that speaks to try to make content or anything of the above. He's a person that's went through everything that he's discussed and he's put it into text and spoken with some of the most world-renowned and brilliant people all over the world. He is a citizen scientist and a serial entrepreneur and he's created several start-up businesses from scratch. He's also created and marketed anti-aging, nutraceutical products and he's also been an executive producing national TV and radio infomercials. But the real reason that I have him here today is not for all of that, it's for this book right here, this beauty, this gem, it's called The Unholy Trinity.
We're going to go through everything because he's a heart attack survivor, turned wellness warrior. I consider him a close friend. Welcome everybody, Daniel Trevor.

Hey, Dylan G. How are thee?
Oh man, I just love your channel and everything else. It's just everything that you're doing is really outstanding and really helping mankind. You're right, I am a heart attack survivor, turned wellness warrior because that's what led to the book actually, because what happened to me is this. I had just passed a cardiac stress test with flying colors, and I had just gotten a wonderful, clean glowing bill of health from my trusted physicians, and then I had a heart attack and almost died. It's like what? What did they miss? That's due to basically, in a nutshell, inadequate or what I call standard tests that most doctors don't know to do, or that's what they're doing, but there's no symptoms either. It's like these diseases of modernity, there's just no symptom. I mean, by the time you have symptoms, you're way down the road and it's a long road back, and check out this stat, Dylan. Sixty percent of the people who have a deadly first heart attack, the very first symptom of even having heart disease was their own death. It's like, it's insane. Yeah, and that's why, and since heart disease is the biggest killer, you know, sudden cardiac arrest is like the biggest killer of mankind. I thought, since I've studied highly technical data on my life, I decided to dive into the science to figure out how could this happen to me? And what I discovered absolutely, it just blew my mind and I mean, the amount of corruption and it's just amazing. It just blew my mind. I thought, I have to share this with my brother and sister human beings, right? So they don't run into what I did because I was lucky. I survived, right?
