When somebody looks at you and says, Oh, I don't care about money, turn around, Ron, because that's all they care about. Every single human has to make money. Now, do you worship money? Is everything that you do based around money? Then there's the problem. What is the number one issue that every single person has? No, it's not certain kind of disease. No, it's not fears. No, it's not depression. No, it's not anger. People that care will tell you exactly what you need to hear. And it might not make you feel good. It's not supposed to, it's supposed to help. Somebody that tells you they are the end all be all, I am science. No, you're not. The people that have humility, the people that care, the people that listen, the people that learn, those are the people you can trust. The number one problem that I see every single day over and over, whether it's being told to me, whether I see it in comments, it's one word. 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. Mitochondrial dysfunction, that's considered a central hallmark of aging. 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.

Welcome back to The Dylan Gemelli Podcast, everyone. So I want to talk to you guys about something today that has really been bothering me, that I want to address and want to help people to sift through and overcome, I guess, to a certain extent. So, you know, you guys always hear me talk about how blessed I am. And as a podcast host, I get to talk and interact to so many different kinds of people. I learn from some of the very most well-respected, brilliant doctors, practitioners. And then I get to talk to people that maybe aren't certified on paper, but have so much life experience, so much to offer, so much wisdom. And then, of course, so many of you that watch, people that ask questions, clients that I have, people that I interact with at conferences, when I speak. I probably talk to thousands of people a month if I really sat down and thought about it. It sounds like a lot, but it's not when you do what I do. And I get to learn. I get to learn about people. I get to learn about concepts. I get to learn about things people struggle with. The problems that are out there amongst everybody. And look, I think that if we all look around, there are certain things that we all see when you're in the health and wellness field. You see a lot of people struggling with diet, for example. How do I work out? What kind of blood panels should I get? Markers should I be looking for? What kind of diet should I be on? These are similar and very good questions that I see and that I encounter. Here's where the trouble lies. What is the number one issue that every single person has? No, it's not certain kind of disease. No, it's not fears. No, it's not depression. No, it's not anger, being sad and alone. These are all problems. These are all big problems. But the number one problem that I see every single day over and over and over, whether it's being told to me, whether I see it in comments, it's one word and it bothers me because it's confusion. It's confusion. And look, I get it. I get it because I see it because I'm around it and the more that I think about it when I let that word resonate when I'm walking, when I'm in prayer, when I'm in deep thinking, it makes total sense. There is more information now being put out that's at our fingertips, that is swarmed upon us, whether it's in ads, whether it's in people that have differentiating opinions, content, you name it. Somebody's got an opinion and a thought, and you are going to get blasted with those, especially as we're being tracked with what we're looking at and ads are targeting you. You're going to see more and more and more different types of influencers popping up, more ads, more deliberate, and I mean absolutely deliberate ways and means of doing tricky marketing, putting things in your foods to try to get you addicted, whatever it is. People are being manipulated, they're being misguided, and some people, not by doing this on purpose, they're just putting out misleading information because they're parroting something else that they read, they're saying things that they really are unsure about, they're trying to sell products that they don't even use, you name it. It is going on out there. So how do we know who to trust? How do we know who to listen to? How do we know what's right and what is wrong? I am not going to sit here and tell you that I have every single answer because I don't. I'm not going to sit here and say trust Dylan and don't trust anybody else because that is completely asinine and that is, nobody should be saying that, they shouldn't. I'm going to tell you the things that you need to look out for and when you need to turn and run the other way.
