Top 10 Ways To EXTREME ANTI-AGING & Looking Young. Ultimate Guide to Reverse Aging Naturally

Top 10 ways to extreme anti-aging and looking younger aging is such a charged

topic because nobody wants to die early and yet nobody wants to grow old and we

don't believe that it's possible to live for a really long time without suffering

because we see all these people as they age they have all these ailments and

they're on medication and they require surgeries and they're being wheeled

around and they spend several years in bed and that's certainly not what we

want so in this video we're going to show you how we can have the best of

both worlds how we can stick around for a long time and how we can enjoy it

we're going to talk about how to prolong vitality coming right up

hey I'm Dr. Ekberg I'm a holistic doctor and a former Olympic decathlete and if

you want to truly master health by understanding how the body really works

make sure you subscribe and hit that notification bell so you don't miss

anything when I did a search on anti-aging I was shocked by what I found

because almost every search result that showed up was about wrinkle creams and

pills and cosmetic tips beauty tips are we really that superficial

and I'm not saying that that stuff isn't important but I mean it's not the most

important thing it's not what we're really all about if I gave you the

choice between looking really young when you were 80 but having your mind gone or

looking 80 when you're 80 and having a sharp mind which one would you choose

and I really hope that you would choose the sharp mind but the good news is that

you actually don't have to choose between the two because if you start

understanding how the body works then you can slow down both I'm going to

teach you 10 ways to supercharge your anti-aging but we're not just going to

list them as usual we're gonna talk about the mechanisms that you truly get

it and then as a thank you for watching all the way through I'm gonna get you a

bonus at the end that's gonna make it even more worth it in this video I'm

going to teach you 10 ways to supercharge your anti-aging but I know

that you really want to learn this I'm not just going to list the things I'm

gonna explain how everything works so that you can put it into the bigger

picture and make sure you stay to the end because I'm gonna give you a bonus

that's going to tie it all together for you aging is the loss of function it

simply means that some of the things that used to work when we're younger

they don't work so well anymore and what are those things what are the

things that we're trying to sustain well the first thing is we want to make

energy the healthier we are the better our ability to make

energy dead things can't make energy life things can make energy healthy

things make a lot of energy and some of that energy is may is used to generate

signals because your ability to move and think and process and regulate and

maintain balance and homeostasis all depends on how well the signals work the

better the signals are processing the healthier you are the more the signals

start to get pushed out of balance than more diseases and the more problems you

start to get and the third critical thing is that we want to be able to

maintain and repair cells and especially Wilma to be able to maintain and repair

the DNA because as a cell wears out it can make a replica of itself but the

quality of the new cell depends on the quality of the DNA so if the DNA can

repair itself then the next cell will be of a good quality whereas if the DNA

gets damaged then that next generation of cells are going to wear out and die

and won't be able to propagate anymore and when we're talking about aging and

anti-aging and function we're really mostly talking about the brain because

the brain is what manages all of these signals it generates a lot of energy it

receives signals it's processes signals it's what makes this thing work

alright so even though all the other organs are super important and all the

organs support and help each other function it's really the brain that

we're mostly concerned with so what I'm gonna talk about does apply to every

organ but primarily the brain because if you have a healthy brain it's gonna help

keep the other organs healthy as well now there's been a lot of exciting

research on Aging and recently for the first time there's they believe that

they're starting to really understand what aging is what the mechanism is and

once they figure some of these things out there

we may be able to age slower and eventually maybe not at all and it turns

out that they believe that aging is programmed okay that every species has a

certain length that you could take a mouse and instead of their average -

your lifespan you can help them live three years but you can't make it live a

hundred years and same thing with humans right now we can do a lot of things to

get beyond the 80 year average and we could make that a hundred and twenty

year average but as we are programmed right now we're not going to live to a

thousand so part of this has to do with programming but what's exciting is that

there's a theory that relates to being on top of the food chain and now

everyone thinks that humans are on top of the food chain which we sort of are

but that's a very very recent thing for the vast majority and we're talking

hundreds of thousands or even millions of years we have been somewhere in the

middle a mouse is pretty much at the bottom of the food chain but there are

some animals who are at the top of the food chain like predator birds and

whales and there are some species of whales that actually live to about an

average of 200 years so they believe that there's some reason behind the

programming of how long we're going to live the programmed time of death and

the purpose of life is to be able to procreate to be able to pass on your

genome to another generation so that it can evolve through you through that next

generation so in order for that to happen you only need to stick around

long enough to duplicate your genome to pass on your genes and to stick around

long enough to to raise it and make sure that it's safe so mice they can

reproduce very very quickly and they have to because they may not

stick around too long there may be a bird or there may be something else that

comes to eat it so it doesn't expect to be around long and because of that

nature has favored it to pass on its genes very quickly and that's about what

humans have done as well and as we have conquered most of the reasons we died

like starvation and infection and wild animals and accidents now we're in a

different position to live longer but that's like I said it's been very recent

but what they're thinking based on this theory is that humans in the next few

million years will probably develop an average lifespan of 200 years or more

but until then we have to make the best of what we have so our goal at this

point is just to make our program our current program lasts as long as

possible and therefore we have to understand what is it that interferes if

aging is loss of function and health is the opposite if health is function and

aging is the loss of function what is it that creates the loss of function well

in my experience there's three general categories and the first is anything

that does damage and we call these toxins or interference anything that

disturbs the balance and the longevity and the function of a cell it does

damage and will shorten the life span we have things like deficiencies that means

that the cell in order to perform that function it needs to have certain things

and if it doesn't get those then it can't perform those functions that's a

deficiency and then we have degeneration which means that basically use it or

lose it so let's take these one at a time

the most common interference toxins the things that do damage today that I see

are metal toxicity toxicity because they can interfere in

very small dosages they get stuck in the body they get stuck in metabolic

pathways and in synapses and they interfere with what the body is trying

to do and then we have food sensitivities which are incredibly

common when we are stressed when we are deficient then we lose the ability to

completely break down food and now that food starts creating problems that

starts creating inflammation and autoimmune reactions and leaky gut and

so forth also electromagnetic fields are a new it's a man-made thing we haven't

had that for very long but your body is an electromagnetic field and when you

put it in the presence of other electromagnetic fields like wiring in

the house and computers and cell phones and Wi-Fi routers and bluetooth

transmitters then these artificial these man-made EMFs push on your body's energy

field on your body's communication and even if you don't feel it it's a stress

and for some people it can be devastating interference can also happen

from scars so if you have a scar somewhere on your skin that skin has

changed its properties it's gone from being very flexible and pliable and

having a regular fiber pattern to having a stiffened and random fiber pattern and

we have acupuncture energy we have meridians where energy is flowing in

these meridians and wherever a scar cuts across a meridian then that flow of

energy is going to change your body's communication ability is going to be

challenged we have videos on a lot of these different things we'll give you

some links at the end inflammation is from a variety of different reasons one

is sugar another is allergens those are the

primary ones and inflammation will interfere stress will interfere because

your body's ability to main and repair is managed by your

parasympathetic nervous system and when you have a stress response you are

activating your sympathetic nervous system your fight flight system which

will turn off which will decrease the activity of your parasympathetic nervous

system your feed breed so anytime you're stressed you will reduce the amount of

maintenance and repair in your cells and of course we have to include the number

one source of toxicity today because sugar which drives insulin insulin is a

storage hormone and in doing that we are constantly congesting when the body is

in a storage mode it never fully pulls things out so when we're always in the

process of packing things in part of the things we're going to be packing in our

fat of course but also we're gonna pack in these toxins we're not going to give

the body a chance to really clean house alright so deficiencies what are the

things that the cell needs well it has to have first of all raw materials when

we want to maintain and repair we need to have raw materials and the brain is

mostly fat and the brain and its cell membranes the fat that it consists of is

mostly something called DHA which we get in fish oil the other most common

component of the brain is cholesterol so I'm not saying that you have to eat a

lot of extra cholesterol you don't have to be afraid of it but your body will

make the cholesterol that it needs if you just eat good varied food however if

you are on statin drugs if you are artificially attempting to reduce your

cholesterol significantly then that might be making it very difficult for

your brain to get the necessary raw materials to maintain and

next the cell needs fuel in order to make energy and generate signals we got

to have some fuel and the two fuels for the brain is glucose and ketones and the

glucose is very deceiving because it turns out that if you try to add a bunch

of glucose then what you're doing is you're creating high and low you're

creating alternating high and low blood sugars and the way the brain works it

likes the fuel it likes the blood glucose to be kind of low and to stay

stable that's the ideal situation for the brain it loves when it's somewhere

between 75 to 85 milligrams per deciliter so when we talk about fuel and

glucose we're not talking about adding a bunch of extra because that is going to

make it worse that is going to create insulin resistance and it's going to

starve the brain of glucose in the long run

so if anything we want to start focusing more on situations that create ketones

the glucose we don't have to worry about because we're gonna make enough no

matter what if we eat some vegetables and we eat some meat and we even eat fat

all those things have resources they have precursors that the body can turn

into glucose and ketones we make by burning fat so by eating more fat by

eating good healthy fat natural fats that haven't been processed by humans

and destroyed and altered they are stable and they're good source of fuel

so the body can make ketones out of them it's a common fallacy that the brain

only runs on glucose because when we are fasting then we're in ketosis when we're

fat adapted then the brain can actually run up to 75% on ketones so the brain

has two fuels not one the next thing we can be deficient in is hormones because

in order for the brain to hair itself in order for the brain to

repair cells but also more importantly for the brain to reshape itself through

neuroplasticity to make new synapses to maintain our ability to learn at any age

we need to make new synapses that's how you can learn even at the age of a

hundred you can learn new skills you can get a new computer or a new cell phone

or a new gadget and you can learn how to use it the only way that happens is if

you can make new synapses if you can rewire your brain but guess what that

rewiring needs to have human growth hormone and something called BDNF

brain-derived neurotrophic factor synapses can't happen without those but

in the presence of a lot of those two hormones the brain can even make new

cells and the third main cause of aging is degeneration so degeneration can be

part of not having having interference and not having the resources but it is

also use it or lose it so everybody understands that principle at some level

they understand that if you do some weight lifting then you're gonna build

bigger muscles if you break an arm and you put it in a cast then after a couple

of months that muscle atrophies it shrinks because you're not using it use

it or lose it and this is because the brain is really smart your body is

really smart it wants to survive it wants to allocate the resources where

they're used the most so if you put your arm in a cast and you work out the other

arm now your body is going to build that muscle because you're using it it's

going to allocate resources to maintain and repair the part you're using but why

would it wastes resources maintaining something that you don't use so use it

or lose it is true for muscle but it's equally true or even more true

for the brain and when the brain has a lot of signals to process when it gets a

lot of energy when it gets a lot of hormones to make new synapses then the

brain thrives and it can stay young and function for a very very long time but

first I just want to talk about how we often think about things the wrong way

because we're brought up in a healthcare system that's really a sick care system

and we're so used to treating the symptom that we really have to practice

thinking another way so let's say that you have a problem let's say that you

have fatigue now what's the cause of that fatigue if we start understanding

what we just talked about then the cause of the fatigue is toxicity deficiency

and degeneration that's the cause the reason you're fatigued is you can't make

enough energy because something is missing or something's interfering or

you have degenerated from lack of use use it or lose it

now what would most people do if they have fatigue well fatigue is very common

and there's a reason there's a multi-billion dollar industry of coffee

and energy drinks and other stimulants so we take a stimulant but a stimulant

is not the solution it's not going to reverse the cause it's not going to undo

the toxicity and the deficiency and the degeneration the drink isn't adding

anything that you actually need to make energy it's just like cracking a whip on

your nervous system it is like giving you a jolt so you can go just a little

bit longer like the Energizer Bunny but it doesn't make you any healthier it

doesn't make you any younger it doesn't help you generate any more energy or

signals so the solution is DRA detox replenish and activate okay we'll get to

that just a moment now let's say you have some wrinkles what's the call

of the wrinkles well it would be toxicity deficiency and degeneration now

we're talking premature wrinkles because wrinkles are

inevitable the way we're programmed they're going to happen but premature

wrinkles are caused by toxicity deficiency and degeneration is the

solution a cream I'm not opposed to cream we even sell some really good ones

in our office but it's not the solution to aging all right first you address the

cellular component and then you can help your your skin look a little better so

again the solution is detox replenish and activate now what if you get old

weak and frail the cause is the same toxicity deficiency degeneration but

what's our typical solution well it's to make life easy for people and I'm not

saying that's a bad thing but there are electric scooters everywhere every store

has electric scooters now and I'm not making fun of people who need them I'm

not putting them down at all I think it's wonderful that we live in a society

that more and more makes life comfortable and convenient for people

but when we see that as a solution oh I don't have to worry about anything or I

don't have to learn how to reverse anything and we just rely on this then

that's a problem when we go to our local supermarket and half of the parking lots

are for handicapped people that's that's a courtesy but it's a sign that we're

going the wrong way we're looking at things the wrong the wrong way

again the solution at any age is detox replenish and activate so now we're

gonna dive in to the ten ways that you want to learn about so hunker down and

take notes but actually that's sort of a joke because this is a video so you

don't have to take notes because you can watch this over and over

free the first thing is detox how do you do that and there's a lot of

misconceptions that people say that oh don't worry about detox it's a fallacy

it's a myth your body has a natural detoxification system which is true you

have a liver you have a bowel you have kidneys you have lungs you have skin

they all get rid of toxins but they can't keep up because we have more

toxins than ever before and in my office that's the first thing that we address

we spend the majority of our effort for several weeks or even months just

helping people get over the stuff that is interfering now the number one thing

that's interfering the number one toxicity again sugar made it to the

number one spot on the list okay there if you just change one thing take sugar

out of your life so when we talk about detox there's different steps first you

want to stop puttin the bad stuff in then you want to start pulling the bad

stuff out and then you want to start putting some good stuff in I know that

sounds simple but sometimes we we miss the forest for the trees number two on

the list is allergens and today there's hardly anybody who isn't allergic to

something now there's a full-blown antibody

allergy and then there's a lesser sensitivity where there's not

necessarily an antibody but where the body is still reacting and there's

inflammation created there's an immune response and the top two items that

account for ninety-five percent of the problems are grains and processed dairy

so it's not any grain very few people react to things like rye and oats and

barley but wheat especially modern wheat is what people react to and dairy it's

not necessarily all dairy because a lot of people do well on raw dairy on

raw cheese raw milk yogurt sour cream fermented foods but very very few people

can fully tolerate pasteurized milk so if you are wanting to reduce your

sensitivity reaction the potential of inflammation from food then start with

wheat and pasteurized milk so we said first we stop putting the bad stuff in

and that includes pesticides so next you want to do as much as you can to go

organic can not everyone can afford or find everything organic don't worry

about it do the best you can take one step at a

time and figure out which items are the most important to get organic things

like berries that where you eat the skin and where they spray a lot and other

things where you peel them or where they don't use so much pesticide it's not as

big a deal number four now we start helping the body get rid of some stuff

so the first three are to stop putting bad stuff in now we start pulling things

out and the liver is your primary detoxification organ and your liver

loves green vegetables okay they they contain a lot of things that help

cleanse that's why a lot of vegans feel so good when they first start being

vegans because most people are toxic and if you eat a lot of green vegetables

then you help the liver cleanse things out that doesn't mean that everyone

should be a vegan forever but it could be a good thing to kind of

get you going so lots of leafy greens and specifically some things like

chlorella and cilantro we use those a lot in my office to help detox metals

then you can use certain things like resveratrol and turmeric and the list

goes on and on for things that are natural anti-inflammatories that help

calm down sensitivity responses number five we're continuing to pull things out

and one good way to do that is to sweat and part of it is that yes you do sweat

out some stuff through the skin but even more so when you exercise or when you

sit in the sauna you also increase your circulation especially peripheral

circulation those little capillaries where if you're sitting still if you're

little chilly and you're you've got cold hands then that peripheral circulation

never gets going but if you're in a sauna or if we're exercising and if you

exercise long enough to where you get really really warm extremities now you

know that you got that circulation going and the part of that circulation is it's

increasing the turnover it's kind of flushing out everything that needs to

get flushed out so the body has a certain way of doing things but if you

circulate twice as much it can do things twice as fast number six now we're into

replenishing we've stopped putting bad stuff in we helped get some bad stuff

out now we got to put the good stuff in and the number one thing that the brain

is missing is DHA 60% of the brain is fat and 40% of that

fat is DHA it's a very very long fatty acid it's it stands for Docosahexaenoic acid which means it's 22 carbons long it's an immense carbon

molecule fat molecule and hexa means it's six times unsaturated so it's like

squiggly like like a worm basically and that gives the cell membranes very

specific properties it allows the cell membranes to be flexible it allows the

cell membranes to be better at figuring out the difference between inside and

outside of the cell which has to do with signaling and that's what cells do and

that's what the brain does especially and most people don't

nearly enough DHA because we hardly eat fish anymore and DHA is very very

sensitive to heat so it's the little that we have in food gets destroyed by

cooking so most people would do well to find some good fish to eat on a regular

basis like salmon or sardines some fatty fish but if you can't find clean fish or

if you don't like fish then you really do need to take a fish oil supplement

and if you don't want to eat fish at all now you need to take an algae supplement

now algae can't produce DHA but it is more expensive so if you want to sort of

be strict with not eating fish then you're gonna spend just a little bit

more but you're gonna still have to do that DHA is absolutely necessary number

seven on the list is oxygen o2 and when the body makes energy when we say that

needs fuel it needs glucose and ketones but what allows the body to actually

turn the fuel into energy is oxygen increasing oxygen can have tremendous

benefits like we talked about increasing circulation when the blood gets out to

the periphery to places where it doesn't go as much when we don't sweat and

exercise when that oxygen gets out there it can perform miracles and especially

the same thing holds true for the brain because when you can truly fully perfuse

the brain when you can saturate the brain with oxygen now it can really fire

on all cylinders and there's two primary ways of getting more oxygen in one is

exercise and the other is oxygen therapy or hyperbaric chambers so that's there

could be pretty costly you go someplace or you buy a tank and you increase the

oxygen saturation or you increase the pressure and now you're allowing the

blood to get more saturated you're just really sort of squeezing oxygen into the

blood but if you can't afford have access to that don't worry about it

because exercising or even just doing breathing exercises where you're filling

your lungs and emptying your lungs just a little bit extra can be very

beneficial for that number eight on the replenishing list is catalysts catalysts

are little tiny molecule that participate in the conversion of fuel

and oxygen into energy those are also known as vitamins and minerals so

primarily B vitamins b1 is the main thing that people get deficient in but

you do want to get all the B vitamins and your best source is going to be a

whole food supplement or something like nutritional yeast don't go and get these

mega doses of synthetic B vitamins that might help you just a little bit for a

short term but in the long run it's going to create more problems than it

solves and besides vitamins the brain loves

minerals minerals are necessary for signal transmission and it has a

generally calming effect on the brain because they help stabilize neural

membranes so the primary one for the brain is magnesium but there's several

others that are very important like potassium calcium iodine etc so far we

have improved the conditions for the cells to function better we've improved

the environment the circumstances for the cell now we have to do something

with the cell now we have to activate it remember that if you don't use it you

lose it everything degenerates if you don't

activate it on a regular basis if you don't put it to use it has no reason for

existing so number nine exercise there is probably nothing better you can do

for staying young and maintaining health than exercise and there's two primary

actually there's three primary ways that it helps your body the first is high

intensity interval training this is where you're

challenging your body you're taking exercise to an intensity level where

your body is fearing the future it's fearing tomorrow it's saying hey I'm

scared if you're gonna do this to me again tomorrow I have to get better

right and what it does then it produces if you if you scare your body if you

challenge your body a little bit it's going to produce very large amounts of

human growth hormone and brain derived neurotrophic factor why because those

hormones they do help build muscles but they'd help build all tissues and

especially brain so hit is primarily for hormones then you want to do some

aerobic exercise and this means you're going to keep your heart rate at about

120 to 130 or below so that you can breathe comfortably through your nose

without huffing and puffing ok hit your gonna huff and puff you're gonna get out

of breath your heart is going to beat through your chest aerobic you don't

want that to happen you want to breathe comfortably you want

to exercise comfortably and what you're doing here is you're increasing

circulation for an extended period of time you can keep up the arrow back for

an hour or even two and during that time you're doubling or tripling your

circulation so it's part of the detox more than anything and then yoga the

third way the third mechanism is yoga activates mechanoreceptors and stretch

receptors and muscle spindle cells these are little receptors that sit in all

your tissues that send signals to the brain and signals activate the brain the

purpose of the brain is to receive signals if you give the brain more

signals it's going to grow stronger and when you stretch and you activate motion

and stretch receptors now you are activating those signals so there

three different mechanisms it is hormones it is detox circulation and it

is brain activation okay it will also produce a tremendous amount of brain

activation because of how fast you're moving but Yoga because it increases

your range of motion it gives you a flexible spine it sets you up for a more

long-term continuous production of signals in your everyday life number ten

start to meditate meditation is a very very powerful way of calming your body

it's a very powerful way of undoing stress and stress interferes with the

maintenance and repair of your cells so let's say that you're stressed most of

the time now your body is in defense mode

maybe 70% of the time and it's in repair mode maybe thirty percent of the time

whereas if you start meditating you're gonna help the body get back to

balance and do the appropriate amount of both so those are the top ten ways but

just like I promised you there is a bonus and I'm so proud of you for

sticking around that shows that you're really serious about taking care of

yourself so the bonus is intermittent fasting and if there's one thing that

you can do in addition to sugar and exercise that's just super simple it is

intermittent fasting and intermittent fasting is when you eat fewer meals when

you go longer between meals and why is that so powerful because even though

high-intensity interval training is challenging the body and you can

increase your growth hormone by seven eight hundred percent extended fasting

can increase your growth hormone even more as much as two thousand percent so

if you really want to supercharge almost everything that we've talked about then

fasting will do that and you get a two-fold benefit

it's like two trump cards all at once not only will it increase growth hormone

the most powerful way but it's also the most powerful way to reduce insulin and

insulin is a mitogenic hormone insulin will speed up aging it'll make cells

divide faster sugar and insulin will create virtually every one of the

problems that we have talked about and fasting will is the most powerful way to

reduce insulin and at the same time you get the most of the best and the least

of the worst if you enjoyed this video then you know that there's a lot of

information to learn and we have a whole library for you we'll give you a list
