The Secrets Of Activating Your Longevity Switches with Dr. Matt Cook

This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers, Rupa Health, and Pendulum. What’s the point in living a long time? Being fully in contribution to life. I want to do that feeling healthy and vital, not sick and decrepit. Everything we do speaks to our genes—the food we eat, our relationships, our environment. You’re either telling your genes to age faster or age slower. So I’m constantly working on how to give my genes the right information to do the latter. Today’s podcast episode was recorded on my recent trip to Antarctica with my own doctor, Dr. Matt Cook. He’s helped me heal and has integrated so many different forms of technologies and science to rebuild people’s health from the ground up. Dr. Cook is the Founder of BioReset® Medical. He is a board-certified anesthesiologist with over 20 years of experience practicing medicine, focusing the last 14 years on Functional and Regenerative Medicine. He graduated from the University of Washington School of Medicine, completed his anesthesiology residency at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), and completed a fellowship in Functional Medicine.
