Podcast Notes Key Takeaways Our medical model of “wait until you get sick then go to the doctor” really won’t get you where you want to go – the insurance system in the U.S. won’t cover testing unless you’re sickYou can’t impact what you don’t measure! Be proactive about measuring and keeping track of what’s happening in your body through bloodwork and helpful wearablesTechnology isn’t waiting for the laws: it’s a matter of when not if – we need data security and privacy protection laws in place, including the right to delete your data, before the use of wearables is rampantWearables and sensors will eventually collect thousands of data points per second and ultimately contribute to “lengthening our lives another decade beyond what we’re able to do with changes to lifestyle” – according to Dr. David SinclairThe key is really to take action based on the information you’re getting from the wearables and sensors  Supplementation is particularly important for people on a specialized diet – you need to be vigilant about measuring bloodwork to make sure you’re doing what’s best for your bodyDavid Sinclair’s 5 biomarkers worth measuring: (1) glucose; (2) heart function (3) inflammation as measured by, c-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha, cortisol; (4) lactate; (5) blood oxygen“This is the kind of life I want for everybody, that we don’t have to worry about getting cancer in our 50s and 60s and having a heart attack in our 70s. We should be able to live to our 70s, 80s, 90s and beyond in a healthy way, contributing to society, contributing to the community, educating our kids…” – Dr. David SinclairTake responsibility for yourself, and do it for your kids and grandkids’ sake: eat the right way, fast, get exercise, give your body a little stress, supplement as needed, monitor your health proactively
