For centuries, humankind has been searching for the mythical fountain of youth, and we continue to obsess about slowing down the effects of aging or even anti-aging. Cher famously sang about the notion of “turning back time.” In the movie Back to School, Rodney Dangerfield quipped that he was looking for the “fountain of middle age.” The Father of Biohacking Dave Asprey’s goal is to live to 180. One thing is for sure, at least in the US: we are not living up to our potential.

As of 2022, the average life expectancy in the US was 77.5 years¹, below the 2019 pre-pandemic level of 78.8 years and well below the average of 82.2 years in other developed countries.² These statistics say nothing about the quality of life in those years.

Is it a pipe dream to think we can slow down or even reverse the effects of aging? What about people in their 60s, 70s, and 80s who are still very active with razor-sharp minds? You might say they won the genetic lottery. There are many factors at play. Regarding biology, current research suggests promising longevity benefits from stem cells and peptides.

The Importance of Stem Cells

Stem cells are special, undifferentiated cells that can transform into any cell in the body. Having an abundance of healthy stem cells is essential to aging well. Unfortunately, as we age, our stem cells mutate and go dormant. We start to see wrinkles, gray hair, body aches, and organ challenges. The speed of aging is tied to many factors, including genetics, environment, stress, sleep, nutrition, and physical activity.

• At age 20, we have a billion healthy stem cells.

• By age 30, healthy stem cells decline by 60% to 400 million.

• By age 50, healthy stem cells decline by 75% to 250 million.

• By age 60, healthy stem cells decline by 90% to 100 million.

• By age 80, healthy stem cells decline by 95% to 50 million.

Invasive stem cell therapy is not FDA-approved or regulated³. A doctor performing these treatments in the US risks losing license, practice, and jail time. While stem cell treatments are available in various countries outside the US, the costs range from $5,000 to $25,000 per treatment, and individual results vary wildly. All surgical procedures involve risk.

Supplements are a less invasive way to increase stem cell production. Stemregen®, for example, includes various plant-based compounds and bioactive ingredients clinically proven to improve stem cell production. While less expensive than surgical treatments, a one-month supply of this supplement costs over $180.

It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We'll let 'em come true

Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, and ever
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, and ever

Forever young
I wanna be forever young
Do you really want to live forever? (Forever)

The Role and Benefits of GHK-Cu Peptide

I have written previously about the importance of amino acids and protein intake. Amino acids are the building blocks of peptides, which are crucial for whole-body wellness. One of the most-studied peptides related to aging is GHK-Cu.

The human copper-binding peptide GHK-Cu is a small, naturally occurring tri-peptide (glycine, histidine, lysine) present in human plasma that can also be released from tissues in case of an injury. Most research attributes the effects of GHK to its ability to bind to copper II ions. In a previous newsletter, I summarized the importance of copper in the body.

GHK-Cu is a safe, inexpensive, extensively studied compound with many positive, health-promoting effects on tissues and systems.

• Tighten loose skin and reverse thinning of aged skin

• Repair protective skin barrier proteins

• Improve skin firmness, elasticity, and clarity

• Reduce fine lines, depth of wrinkles, and improve the structure of aged skin

• Smooth rough skin

• Reduce photodamage, mottled hyperpigmentation, skin spots and lesions

• Improve overall skin appearance

• Stimulate wound healing

• Protect skin cells from UV radiation

• Reduce inflammation and free radical damage

• Increase hair growth and thickness, enlarge hair follicle size

I hope we will continue to have scientific breakthroughs with stem cells and peptides. In the meantime, wouldn’t it be amazing if there were a simple, reasonably priced, noninvasive way to support the flow of energy within your body and encourage whole-body wellness and health activity? Such a technology exists, and I’m excited to share it with you. This newsletter covers many different technologies, and you might dismiss many of them, but trust me, you want to pay attention to this one.

Introducing X39® from LifeWave

LifeWave was founded in 2004 by inventor, owner, and CEO David Schmidt. The company’s patented products include eleven different nanocrystal patches that use a form of phototherapy. The science of phototherapy, which has been around for about 100 years, uses light to improve the health of the body. As far back as two thousand years ago, the ancient Greeks had a center for studying the effects of different colored lights on the body. Even the ancient Egyptians, who promoted health by focusing sunlight through colored glass on specific areas of the body, understood this concept.⁴

In 2019, LifeWave launched the flagship X39®, which took 4.5 years and 10 million dollars to develop. For your reference, the X39® patent number is US 10,716,953 B1. Optimum health and wellness can now be yours with X39®, a new approach to improving the way your body fosters the flow of energy in your body for improvements in strength, stamina, and beyond. Your body emits heat, including heat in the infrared spectrum. X39® is designed to trap this infrared energy when placed on the body. By gently stimulating the skin with light, the non-transdermal X39® patch helps you conquer your active lifestyle and pave a new way to vibrant health. X39® contains no drugs or stimulants and leverages acupressure and acupuncture to create a restorative balance. Here is a short video that explains the technology.

Testimonials

Note: Each person is unique and will respond differently to light therapy, which should be combined with healthy lifestyle habits for the best results.

I’ve been wearing X39® daily for about five weeks. You can wear it anywhere on your body, but the two preferred spots to maximize energy flow through acupressure points are the back of the neck (GV14) or two finger widths below the navel (CV6). The benefits I immediately noticed were improved mood and increased focus and energy. The recent time change disrupted my sleep, but my sleep has improved over the last few weeks based on my Oura ring data. Most notably, my NeuralChek scan that measures heart-rate variability shows that from the beginning of October, before wearing the patches to now, my biological age has reduced by seven years! I believe that X39® has enhanced all the other biohacks I’ve been doing. Remember, there is no magic formula. Feeling younger is a lifestyle.

Thankfully, I am generally pain-free, but I have close friends who were looking for a solution that was fast-acting and non-addictive.

“As it turns out, my sciatica flared up this morning. Almost debilitating when that happens. Ultimate test for the [X39®] patch, right? Gotta say I’m a believer, too. Normally I would take 400 mg of ibuprofen to take the pain from a 9 to a 4 in about an hour. Pain went down to a 2 within ten minutes of applying the patch, no ibuprofen. Incredible!” Ian B., Club Member

My stretch therapist, Kevin, who owns the Stretch Yoga Therapy studio, experiences chronic lower back pain. I had him try the IceWave® patches. He felt the effects within minutes, and after an hour, he said he felt much better. It sounds too good to be true, but I witnessed it firsthand. Everyone responds differently, but I’ve seen and heard countless testimonials from people who have benefited dramatically from LifeWave technology.

X39® is an FDA-recognized and compliant Class 1 “General Wellness Product” and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

I have narrowed my biohacking career focus to frequency technology. I always seek the least invasive interventions that allow the body to balance and optimize naturally. I am also looking for products and companies with a rock-solid reputation and mission to help humanity. I am proud to say that I have joined LifeWave as a Brand Partner with a mission to share this unique technology with as many people as possible. If you heard about LifeWave from someone else, I encourage you to contact that person and consider trying X39®.

Visit the website below to find more information and purchase X39®. Aren’t these benefits worth a little over $3/day? You don’t have to sign up for a subscription, and LifeWave offers a money-back guarantee. Be on the lookout for Black Friday promotions that LifeWave will announce this week!

The Daily Habit is where I share my habits related to the fundamentals: sleep, diet, physical activity, mindfulness, and stress management.

Fasting allows the body to purge dying cells and rejuvenate the immune system.⁵ Start simple with intermittent fasting by restricting calorie consumption to a specific time window, e.g., eight hours. From there, you can extend the fast to a day or more. For more information about fasting, check out my review of Dave Asprey’s book Fast This Way.
