0:58 Here's your host, Doctor Eldrick Taylors. Hello, Hello, Hello, good morning. I am back. If you've watched the podcast over the last two weeks, you may realize that those actually weren't live those were repeats of previous shows. Because I have been out of the country for two weeks and I just got back two days ago, I still got a little bit of jet lag. I woke up like at two o'clock this morning, that's where we were. That would have been but like ten o'clock in the afternoon, So I'm a little bit off. I got a little bit of sleep before I started the podcast, so I should be okay. So Happy New Year. I hope everybody had a merry Christmas. I actually spent Christmas in Africa, and you know, to be honest with you, I started we started Ageless Blueprint really a little bit over a year ago, and primarily I started Ageless Blueprint because I went through a transformation course called Reality Creator, and it talked about how you can create your own reality.

2:10 And I was at a crossroads almost sixty five years old. I am sixty five now, and I had to decide what kind of reality I wanted to create for the rest of my life. And it was an amazing course. I'm actually going to have him on as a podcast, yes, because it really really changed my life. And so last year, if you don't remember, I went to Egypt, and that was really a part of this transformation, me getting over my fear. One of the fears was getting over one of the things too. In order to have a new reality, you have to get over your fears. So one of my biggest feels was the water. So I took a scuba diving lesson and it really kind of opened the door for me. And from that we decided, my wife and I decided to go to Egypt last year. Was an amazing experience and that really spearheaded this ageless blueprint is I went back saw what was going on six seven, eight, nine, ten thousand years ago and saw how there was a blueprint for life there. So anyway, so from that, I have really really become fearless. And so my wife and I, we've both gone through this transformation. It has transformed every part of our lives. Has transformed our marriage, our relationship with our kids, how we look at work, how we look at what we do. We see it in a different light, and we are creating a reality that we want as we age, and not a reality that people

3:44 think someone sixty five or older should do. So, to make a long story short, this is why we went to We went to Rwanda, and we went to Uganda. Actually I had a patient who we were talking about, you know, going to Africa and all this, and he said, well, hey, you ought to go and track the gorillas. And this was about a year ago and we said, oh, wow, wouldn't that be amazing, you know, to track to gorillas, and we could go do it so far because we did one about fourteen years ago with our kids, but we decided we're going to do it just me and my wife and have an experience together. So anyway, what I want to do is kind of you know, they call it a travel blog, but I want to show our trip and how it transformed us once again and it pushed us to our limits. And when you get pushed to your limit and you start to see that you can do things that you never thought you could do or you would do it, really it really reinforces this ageless living. It really enforces your fearlessness and primarily the fear of the unknown. So I want to stop talking.

4:56 I want to you know, let's look at some of the some of the slides, and I actually have a couple of videos, and it's not just a travel blog, but it's really trying to encourage everyone to do some of the things that you've always wanted to do. Don't wait. As you get older, you start to realize that you do not have unlimited time, and especially if you have a partner or significant other or family members that you want to share life experiences with. You need to do it as soon as possible. Now, you don't have to go to Africa, you know, I have to do all that, you know, just plan a trip to the rocky mountains, or you have a picnic or whatever. Just do something.

5:39 Some of the things that you have planned to do later, sometimes later doesn't come. And that's what I'm figuring out. And I know you're you know, I'm a spiritual MD and the hormone doctor, and we're going to get back to that. But a lot of times at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, you want to kind of recalibrate and figure out where you are and where you're going. And so this is what we usually do at the end of the year. So let's go and do the sladest Okay, see how much? Okay? All right, so let me make this a little bit bigger stur see. So why we'll do it later is the most dangerous line we tell ourselves. A reflection on aging, marriage, fear, and a liveness. And this is a certificate. So before you start, they get your names and everything because they want you to have a certificate to say that you track the gorillas. And at first I thought I had a big deal a certificate, but hey, I cherish the certificate because you'll see what we had to go through to see these silver backed guerrillas. They're mountain gorillas. And when they say mountain gorillas, they're really mountain gorillas. They live in the mountains. So if you want to see the gorillas, you have to go up to the mountain.

6:50 And you know, I live in Atlanta and we have something called Stone Mountain, and we've hiked up Stone Mountain. It's difficult, but this is a whole different and we'll go through it. I don't want to give it away too fast, too quickly, but you'll see, all right, So let's go all right. So this wasn't necessarily a vacation. See I call a vacation when you sit on the beach and drink peanut coladas or whatever and everybody is serving you and all that stuff. So this was not a vacation. This was a shared experience that really changed us. And so in Rwanda they have five volcanoes. That's a volcano behind us there, and so this was our first day there. So we were all happy and set out for adventure, and that's what we call it. We try to go on adventures together. Because Egypt was an adventure.

7:40 We went to Ghana, it was an adventure. It's not a relaxing vacation. It's an adventure. But all of those experiences have changed me profoundly. The beach is nice, but if you want to have a life changing experience, you need to do something that you've never done before. Are you just was in a fantasy or whatever? And you know again, you don't have to do something as wild as as this. Hey, we've we've worked, you know, thirty years in medicine and doing other things, and we've you know, I'm used to delay gratification. When you go to medical school, you get a lot you have to deal with a lot of delayed gratification. And so in this part of my life, I'm not delaying gratification anymore. Is that if we want to do something, we'll do it, and so this is one of those and believe me, it's brought us closer together. All right. So this is where we went.

8:35 This is Welcome to Rwanda, the Republic of Rwanda. I'll tell you if you've ever seen the movie Hotel Rwanda. You know, there was a genisat there in nineteen ninety four and they have really recovered. It's really a beautiful The capital city city is kill Golly. It's really a beautiful place. I think I have a picture of a hotel that we stayed in when we were there. But it's a clean city. Every at the end of the month, everyone has to go out and clean their area, so the city is spotless. Is very mardern. It's not what you might think Africa is stay in a beautiful hotel. But then the other part is that you go on these safaris. So these are the two safari parks we went to, and there are huge parks and I'll show you some of the things that you see there. And to be honest with you, I didn't really realize my geography.

9:30 But we were only about ten or fifteen minutes away from the equator, and so we're standing on the equator right here. So another shared experience that most people don't get to do. So we've been to the equator, you know, We've been to these two countries that a lot of people don't go to. And we really encourage people and we love to travel. We've been married forty years. We've traveled almost all of those years. Where we didn't have any money in residency, we took the cheap cruises, the carnival cruise, we did all of those. We did it during hurricane season, so that's when the prices were down and we just had to take the chance. So we've always loved to travel, even with our kids, and because it opens your horizons, it makes you see things the world and how big and beautiful it is, and beautiful it is, and how different different cultures are. But those cultures have adapted to their environment and that's just how they live. So these are the places that we went, and you can go go look at Google Maps and see exactly where they are in Africa, but they are actually in the eastern part of Africa, all right, So let's go to the next one. Now, this is why we went to get these pictures. Now I probably have about thirty and forty of these pictures. But these are what they call silver back gorillas. They live in the mountain and you see all of this jungle around them.

10:55 Well that's where we were, Okay, So we were about ten feet from these gorillas. They are used to people being around them. You can't go in large groups. It's only like four or five at a time. And here's what I want you to see. You've gotten the gorilla tracking. We tracked four hours, We climbed four hours. We were up ten thousand feet. Okay, so ten thousand feet that is really high. It took us four hours to climb that mountain. So here's the fan print. My daughter said, we should have read the fanprint. They say it may take up from one to four hours to get to the gorillas. And we were like, oh okay, we can hike four hours. We've gone up Stone Mountain. We didn't realize how high that mountain was. And you also realize that this is the jungle. There's no trails. These gorillas go wherever they want to. They don't follow trails or anything, so they're actually trackers. There's people with guns who go and find the gorillas, and they're not to shoot the gorillas.

11:58 Is to protect them while they're trying to find them in case the elephant or loose. And they still don't kill them. They just tranquilized them. And that never happened me. It didn't happen while we were there, but anyway, that's how it goes. So we climbed up ten thousand feet. We're in our mid sixties, you guys, it was. It pushed us to the limit. Let me just show you. This is us when we started up, and this is when we got up to the top of the mountain. And you see my wife here, she is not she is not doing good. And so we sat there, we had lunch, and then all we could think about is now we've got to go down. And going down is almost as hard as going up. And so at any age when most people are told to slow down, we're doing crazy stuff like this. And so I want to tell you is that at several points going up that mountain we wanted to turn around. But get you get to a point and no guide is going to go down there with you, and you paid money and they are determined for you to get to see those gorillas.

13:05 And so they helped us up and with all of the even with all of the help, it was still very, very difficult. So we started at seven in the morning. Took us four or five hours to get up there. We stayed up there two or three hours. Took us four or five hours so anyway, from seven in the morning to seven at night, we were hiking this mountain and either going up or down. It is the most strenuous physical thing we've ever done. And we did it in our mid sixties, not in our mid thirties. We were actually with another couple who were in their forties, and it was even difficult for them. So, so rebel, this is what I'll tell you. If you want to go see the gorillas, do it while you're young. Okay, while you're younger, as young as possible, because it was difficult, okay.

13:50 And my wife was like the whole time, she was like, what have we gotten ourselves into? You know, So so rebel it was, this is what I'll tell you. Let me go to this next lad and we'll talk. Would I do it again? No? Would I trade it never? I'm going to tell you. Once we got down, and this was the next day we got some rest, we were so proud of ourselves. I mean, this is after, you know, hiking up and down this mountain and us looking like this is we were so proud of ourselves that we had done something that we never thought we would have done earlier in our lives. And we were able to accomplish it, even at our age. Even our kids are like, I don't believe you did it. I would never have done it. And so we were so proud of ourselves. And let me tell you, we will talk about this till the day we die. When one of us passes away, we'll remember, Hey, you remember we went up. We'll show these pictures and we'll smile like this again. And that's what we're talking about. Life is about experiences, It's about shared experiences, and these are the things that mean the most to people, I think is having an experience and having someone to share it with.

15:08 And you know, we go back and we tell the story. It's funny here, it's funny when we told our kids, it's it's just a great experience. So so rebel Uh that's what I'll tell you if you if you want to see the gorillas, I'll send you some more pictures. But uh, it's it's it's a tough thing, but it's very it's very rewarding. So we questions here, as. You were wearing a mask. Is that, oh yeah, what does it mean? Because they don't want you to give the gorillas a disease. Is not to protect you. It's to protect the gorillas. So whenever we were we were on a hype, we went on another one that wasn't nearly as demanding to see the chimpanzees. When you get to their area, you're supposed to put a mask on because you can give them diseases that they're not used to. Because it's people come from all over the world, you know, to see these gorillas, and so you know they're bringing all kinds of different you know, airborne diseases. So yeah, you have to wear a mask. So luckily, on the way up there, you don't have to wear a mask, because if that was the case, we would have died of suffocation because the air is thin. We're huffing and puffing. So but once you sit there, you're close to the gorillas, Yeah, you have to wear a mank. Yeah, you have another question.

16:24 How strenuous at that height is it on the body? It's very strenuous. It's very strenuous. So I'm telling you it took us a couple of days to recover. For that picture where we're smiling, that was two days later. That next day we didn't do anything. We didn't go on any sight seeing. We didn't do anything. We just sat in the hotel. We slept, we ate, we slept again. So it's it is strenuous. But I'm going to tell you again. It was at the end and the next day we looked at each other and said, we did it, you know, and I get to talk about it here, so you know, I think, you know, I started going to the gym and my trainer, he pushes you. He wants to see what your limit is, and I think this is my limit. But at least I found out what my limit was. And I'll tell you, my wife is extremely proud of herself that she was able to do it, because it was so many times that she wanted to turn around. So anyway, any more questions, but yeah, hey, this is even going to Egypt, and going to Egypt you have to tell a lot of the tombs and things.

17:31 You have to bend down because one of their thoughts was that if you're going to this holy temple, you need to enter bowed down. So they would have these very low ceilings and you'd have to walk bowing down. And we said, we said last year, hey, look you can't wait too late to do these trips because they're very strenuous. So the Egypt trip, this trip, I mean, if we had to lay this trip for two or three years, I guarantee you we couldn't have made it up that mountain. So that's why I'm saying you can't put things off, especially as you get older. You can do that when you're twenty or thirty, but still even at twenty and thirty, we know that life is not promised. So even with your kids, share as much as you can with your kids because nothing is permanent. Nothing has promised to you, guys, and so life is about experiences.

18:19 And that's what I learned when I took that reality course last year, is that you want to fill your life with experiences. So all right, So yes, someone asked, you know how much stress is it on the body? What is required endurance? Now, I will be honest with you. Those the couple that were forty years old, we let them go ahead because our endurance wasn't like there. These guys were real hikers. They would go around to different places and heights, so they had done this before. We had never done it before. We didn't know how to work the equipment, we didn't know anything. So they had to go ahead of us, but we persevered. One of the success thoughts you're supposed to have is that I will persist until I succeed. And that's what we did.

19:08 We persisted until we succeeded. Were we the fastest, No, but we succeeded. I felt like we were the marathon runner that everybody else is going and late at night, and then the marathon runner comes in because he wanted to finish. Well, that's what we did. We endured until we finished. And it took a commitment because continuing when stopping felt reasonable, it really felt reasonable about halfway up, this is crazy. We made a mistake. Let's turn around, but we couldn't. We had committed our finances, we had committed our time, we had committed flying halfway across the world to go do this, and we wanted to finish.

19:50 So we were committed and it really caused us to face real fear. I'm going to show you how how we are. I took how we were up. I took some pictures of that. That fear of height, which my wife really has. We got over a lot of fears. We got over the fear of height, We got over the fear of the unknown, I think I have that in a in a slide, and getting over the fear of the unknown is one of the greatest things that you can do, because that's how you get out of your rut and your routine, is by not being afraid to do something you've never done before, or do something that you don't know how it's going to turn out. Okay. So that's how we felt about that. We got over the fear of the unknown because we did not know what we were getting ourselves into. But we did it and we accomplished it. And I can't tell you, I keep saying, I can't tell you how proud we are.

20:44 So this is how how up we were. Okay. So this is where we started down here, and this is not a drone or anything. This is one level and we were above that. Okay. So fear of heights, fear of this, and I mean we were walking on the edge right here, up the trail of this, up the mountain that we were on from the vantage point of this picture. But this is what ten thousand feet up in the air looks like. And believe me, we got over that fear. All were confronted, none were avoided, and we wanted to avoid it, you guys, but again getting over the fear of the unknown. So now I really after I did the scuba diving, I felt fearless. Now I really felt fearless. Even starting a podcast, I had to get over the fear. It took me like four or five or six months to prepare and then I just said, I got to start doing it, and so now I just do it. So all of these things, as you get, as you become more mature, as you begin to age, don't put it off, don't do it.

21:56 I don't know what this age was, glutprint, what this podcast does or what it doesn't do. All I know is it's something that I need to do. I enjoy doing it, and I started doing it. I was afraid. I didn't know what was going to happen. I still don't know what's going to happen. But I just keep persisting until I succeed. So that has become one of my new mottos. All right. So we also did a cultural experience, Okay, so that's another thing. It is just to understand the culture. And they showed us how they make grain and how they make banana beer and banana gin, and how they take what they get from the ground and they can make all kinds of different things from it.

22:39 And this is just talking about the heritage that in Rwanda there was kings and queens and this is the garb of the kings and queens of ancient Rwanda before colonization, they had kings and queens. So we had a ceremony. They were treating us like kings and queens. It was they had a guitar player. He was playing for us. And then they actually had a wedding ceremony. If if I get enough time, I'll show it to you. And it was showing how they go through a wedding where the bride is carried to the cut of the groom and she left there and they're given gifts and things. So you go to these different countries so you can see how they live and you can see that people live differently from us, but they can still be happy and satisfied. They don't have to look at now. This is what I will tell you now, Like I said, they don't live like this. This is just cultural history.

23:35 But even though Rwanda and Uganda may not be the most prosperous countries, what you'll find over there is everybody is on the phone. It has a cell phone, and everybody is connected to the internet. And we went to some rural places and even in the Safari, in the jungle, climbing up the mountain, they communicate by cell phone in order to know where to tell the gods where the gorillas are. So the world is coming to Africa through the Internet and whatever, and so they are trying, they are expiring to remove this primitive label and to show that they are up and coming continent. So anyway, so that's that was a little fun thing we had to see.

24:22 Agent isn't about decline, it's about contraction. You don't want to contract, you want to expand. So you know, we're we're expanding, looking at different cultures, different things. The body doesn't age from challenge, it ages from avoidance. Yeah, you know, if you don't stay mobile and out there and keep moving, you know, age will catch up with you. And again I'm not afraid of death. I'm not any of that. But you want to live life while you have it, and this is this is what life is about. So don't contract. As you get older, you want to expand. And this is the time where you have less responsibilities.

25:03 You've already sent your kids to college. You you know, you've done your career, You've saved this money. You need to use it. Uh my financial advisor it was talking about, you know, if you want to do some things, do it now. You don't want to save up your money and wait till you're eighty or ninety and then you're unable to do some of the things that you had planned to do. So yeah, Rebel said, this is a kick in the butt type podcast. Is do what you had planned to do later. If you can do even a portion of it now, start doing it now. Just don't wait, all right, take it. So after nearly forty years together, you know, we chose that shared challenge. You know what, I wanted to go back and show you some the video of being in that park. So I'm going to get to this. So hey, Rebel, this is the time to take a break. If we have some questions, we can get that when we come back. But I had a video to show you, a cute little video of one of the things we solved so far. Let's go to a break. We'll come back to that and we'll finish up and it maybe Rebel and I will have a little discussion and we can talk about the questions and go from there. All right, so let's go to break.

26:18 We are going to a quick break, So stay with us as we explore the Ageless Blueprint right here on W FOURHC Radio and Talk for TV.

Let's join doctor Taylor for more insights and research on the ancient secret to better health and a better life in modern times. Here's your host, doctor Eldred Taylor.

27:29 All Right, well we're back and I'm what we've been talking about is my recent trip over the holidays to Rwanda and Uganda. And really it is not really about the trip. Is really to encourage people don't put off life experiences. If you have a desire and it's anywhere in your realm of possibility, give it a shot. You know, at least try and see how you can arrange it sooner rather than later. And that's just that's what this is really about. But hey, Rebel, I wanted to if you see in there there's a video, can you pull that out. I just want to show you these are some of the things that you see on safari. And this is a cute little indication of nature. So this is our jeep that we were in, and this is a family of elephants. So you know, it's an elephant crossing.

28:24 So you just sit there and you wait for the elephants to cross, so you can see that that's a whole family. Our dad told us that those elephants, that that's a whole family. That's a mother father and those are the children. And what they do is during the day they come in and they feed off of the grass and in the evening are during the middle of the day they go toward the water. There's a lake that they're going to. Yeah, so they're going toward the water. And then this one, I don't know, this may be the teenage son that you know, is embarrassed about his parents or something, you know, and so he's staying behind. He's going to catch up and ye like there they are, all right. So you know, this is that ass blueprint I'm talking about is how nature and uh, you know, it provides for whatever those animals need, you know, So they are herbivorus. So almost every type of plant is in that jungle for those elephants, and there's water nearby and all that, and you just see the harmony. And then there's some animals that they feed off of the dung from the elephants, and you just see how nature and it's all these where everything works together in harmony when it's left alone. So those are national parts that no one can destroy, the freeze or the jungles or whatever.

29:47 And when you just see nature in this pure form, it's very awe inspiring. And I think that's one of the reasons why we like to go to Africa's because a lot of things are just untouched, not in manipulation by man, like a lot of things you see in more developed countries. So that's kind of our draw for there. So but you know, those kind of experiences. After nearly forty years together, we chose to have a shared challenge. So not comfort, not routine, but experience because comfort is us going to a beach somewhere. Our routine is not hiking up not hiking up ten thousand foot mountains is not part of our routine. But that experience is what stands out. So do we have we have any questions I have, I have some more more slats, But are I have any more questions revel?

30:37 Yes, they wanted to know. Do you walk straight up the mountain? I'm going to assume now, But do you walk straight up the mountain in an upboard track or is it a curvy journey? Yeah, it's all of the above. It's all of the above. Like I said, there's no track, and you don't know exactly whether gorillas are at any point in ten so they're communicating on cell phone and so they may say, oh, they're up here, and then by the time you get up there, they have moved to somewhere else, so we'd have to go another And it's it's all of the above. We climb up down around over little creeks and mud, and it's it's all of the above. That's why I'm saying it's nature untouched. And what you have to understand is that about fifty to sixty percent of the time they had to make a trail, it was a man in front of us with a machete that was making a trail. So again, this is untouched acres miles and square kilometers of square miles of area. So yeah, so it's all of the above. There's nothing that is that is you know, there's no track, there's no trail, there's no nothing. Like I said, it's it's hard to describe what a jungle is until you're in there, all right.

31:55 So I don't think relationships necessarily end from conflict. All the time. They fade from stagnation. You know, a lot of times when you're just sitting there looking at each other and you don't feel like life is fair, you start to blame the other person for you know, for causing you the discomfort or the unhappiness. But when you're moving, when you're experiencing you know things together, and you're working as a team and you're helping each other out, and you're getting you know, you're having deep conversations because the kids aren't around. That's I believe how relationships develop. And I'm going to tell you, I'll be honest with you.

32:35 Before last year and before I went through this kind of transformation, I don't I believe, and my wife will say the same thing. We were getting stagnant and we had to make a decision. This is say, after thirty eight, thirty nine years, and we've seen couples that have divorced after those many years of marriage, and so again we much must persist until we succeed. So we were going to persist in our marriage. We were going to do whatever we needed to do to make this thing happen. And these experiences I think have really propelled our relationship. And that's after we'll be married forty years this June, and to say that our relationship has expanded and increased, I'm very proud that we've been able to accomplish that in our relationship. And I think that can happen to other people, and it can happen if you talk about what I talk about in my school about getting your hormones right, getting your mind right, and then reconnecting with your spirit. And when you go out in nature like this, you begin to feel that spiritual feeling of being out in nature and seeing how we are all in this planet together to work together, and that everybody is depend everything is really dependent upon everything else. And that's what you learn when you go over there and you see nature like that. All right, All right? Now. Another reason why I decided to do this because I look at

34:05 a lot of YouTube stuff and lately I've been I've been looking at this channel where these guys in their sixties and seventies, and it's some men and women, and they talk about how they the regrets that they have are not about anything that they did. They regret all the things that they didn't do while when they were younger or when their spouse was alive. And they start to look back and they start to see what was important and what wasn't important, and they see that it wasn't even these big trips like this, It was the small things. You know. I could tell you a lot of little things that happen on this trip that we'll talk about. How the what hogs got underneath our tent, lion was chasing them, was it was a hippopotamus blocking our way to our tent. Part it's when I say a tent, it's really a nice, glamorous thing, and I mean, it's really nice, but what guy in there? We were on our way to our cabin, our lodge, and there was a hippopotamus there, and you always have to be exported at night, so we had to wait until the hippopotamus moves because there are over four hundred deaths from hippopotami every year in Africa. They're very aggressive and you have to be careful of them. And so I can tell you all kinds of things that happened, and those are all these experiences that we will have together and I won't have to say I wish we had a gone there, I wish we had done that. So that's kind of our major goal, is that we don't want

35:37 to have a lot of regrets about things that we didn't do. All right, So don't understand we got all right. So those guys on those YouTube set, we kept saying we'd do it later, and that's what we're talking about. Later is the biggest live you're ever going to be told. I'll tell you another thing that really shook me up. And this happened like fifteen years ago. A couple that met in college when I was at Vanderbilt. They were married and we remained friends and we would talk or whatever from time to time. And fourteen years ago he was fifty years old and he was out on his run and he felt dead. And the spouse, the girl who I knew from college, she just talked about how they had planned all of these things in retirement and she can't believe that he passed away. Ever since that time, I kept that in the back of my mind, is that at any time, this life can be over and you can't continue to put things off. And I thought that when I was in my fifties, and when you get in your sixties and your seventies, you really start to think that. So I don't want you guys to put on And I don't care. If you're thirty and you want to go to Disney World, go okay, and it's I don't care if Disney World is, you know, a two hour drive and you always said you were going to do it. Do that. It doesn't have to be what we talking about, but just do some of the things and it can be just saying I was going to splurge and go to a restaurant that I never thought i'd go to, or you know, just something

37:10 as simple as that, something unknown. It really expands your horizons. That makes you live life more fully, I believe, all right, So later is not a plan. Later is a fantasy, and time doesn't negotiate. Time moves forward, whether you're ready to move with it or not. So again, as you begin to age, you begin to notice that more and more time keeps moving. It is twenty twenty six. I remember when everybody was excited about the calendar turning to two thousand. There was this two K They thought all the computers were going to break down, and I remember saying, oh wow, I can't believe it's two thousand. Now this is twenty six years later. And I'm telling you time moves faster and faster. And so that's why I'm encouraging you to in this ageless blueprint is that do not let age slow you down from experiencing life. And that's what I'm trying to get across to you. So I'm not chasing trips. I'm just refusing to postpone life. And like I said, you know, there's places in the US that we need to go. I haven't been to Yellowstone National Park, so you know, maybe I'm gonna will start doing some of those trips that don't cause the jet lag that we have right now. You know, I can take a two hour ten difference, but at seven to eight hour ten difference, man, it really messes up your Cicadian rhythmic. You know, I talk about quarters all and

38:41 how you have this natural rhythm. That's what has gotten all discombobulated in me because we spent two weeks over there, so my quarters are curve changed. And now I'm trying to change it back to Eastern Standard time. So you don't have to chase long trips. You just don't want to poem life and whatever that means to you. Whatever you've been postponing that you know you should do or you know you have a strong desire to do, or you wanted to do it. Because one was talking about one of the guys was saying, hey, one of the things I kept putting off is that my wife wanted to take dance lessons, and he regretted that he never did the dance lessons with his wife. So that's something that's unknown. And that's something that my wife and I did fifteen years ago, when my kids we had gone to college. We were like, what are we going to do now? We started taking dancing lessons. We learned the salts and the waltz and the vi and ees walls.

39:36 We did that for like six or seven years because it was an experience that we could share together. I decided that I'd rather do that than golf because golfing took me away from my wife, and I wanted to share experiences with her. Okay, especially after our kids left, we needed to reintroduce ourselves to each other. And I think that's a lot. I talk about how a lot of really relationships break up during mental pause, and I think these are the things you can do to help prevent that, is keep things going, keep things moving, all right. So ags, living isn't about doing everything. It's about refusing to die with your life still inside of you. And that's what that's it. I keep saying, I want to live until I die, all right. I don't want to live and then slowly begin dying over the five ten years.

40:29 And I don't know if that's going to happen or not. But that's my intention, and that's my desire. And if I die tomorrow, I will say, well, at least I lived up until the day I died. And that's a kind of a pack that my wife and I said, is that whenever one of us passes away, we want to give each other a high five and say, wow, didn't we have a good time together? And so that's been our goal since we got married forty years ago, and we're still working on it. And and I said, it may not be with your wife, and maybe with your child or whatever your significant other is. I really do think life is better when you shared with someone who you have a deep connection with. All right, So let me see if I said, so, what are you still saying you'll do later? And what would be lost if it ever happens? So just think about, okay, what are you waiting on and if you then if it doesn't happen, what would be lost? What kind of experience would you not have taken a party in? What would you could you have learned? What could you have felt?

41:34 What could you have learned and passed on to your kids or or being able to talk about it at the next cocktail party? Okay, what would be lost if it never happens. Let's go. So all I'm encouraging you to do is whatever you were planning on doing, start planning on doing it now, and don't plan on doing it at some later date because you just don't know. You just don't know, and that you know. It's not about trying to do it before you die. It's just about living day by day. It's when you get into this. They talk about being present, you know, and even when you take a step, be present. Well, I'll tell you, when you walk up that mountain, you better be careful of every step because you're on the edge of that mountain.

42:18 Things of slippery. You have to pay attention to every step. So let's what you talk about being present and not being distracted. You get distracted going up that mountain. You can go down that mountain a lot quicker than you can go up it when you are going down on a free fall. So but anyway, so that's what we have today. We got a few more minutes. I don't have any I'm not trying to get you to necessarily go to the school, but hey, I will tell you that you can go to www. Dot school if you can scroll that I actually have redone that I have a free harm on preview chat GBT. Please go to www dot school dot com forward slash aigeless and you can join it for free. There's information there that's free.

43:06 There's also some other courses that I'm developing. So Ageless Blueprint is a year old. I believe the first year was the birth of it. This year is we're going to develop it into something that can really transform your life, and I'm working very hard to have that completely built out before the middle of the month. Those are some of the things that I was doing while I was over there in Rwanda. I was constantly thinking about how can I make the podcast better, how can I make the school better, how can I teach more people about hormones? How can I try and help people live their life through the fullest and understand that whatever reality that they envision, they can start to try and create that it's all about intention and what do you focus on? So, hey, we have any other questions of rebel. Do you have any questions? So next next week we're going to get back and talk about the hormones. I'm still working on developing hormone coaches because I'll tell you. I know I'm getting a little bit off subject, but I've started looking at these Facebook groups that talk about biodemical hormones and hormone replacement. And here's what I see in those groups.

44:18 It's a bunch of women asking other women what are they doing and has it worked or not? And that is really the blind leading the blind. And that's why I'm trying to get hormone coaches. I'm trying to teach them the basics of what I talk about with saliva testing and all of that, because there's got to be some people on these Facebook groups that have some actual knowledge that's not an anecdote. Because this, you know, I just feel bad and I actually tried to join the groups and I put some information up, and if you put information up that doesn't coincide with what they're talking about, they ban you. So I need some women and coaches to kind of infiltrate these groups and try to prove anything wrong, but try and bring some logical information that women can use and not have to try and you know, use anecdotes to determine their dosage.

45:13 So, in other words, they need to stop spinning the old wives tales. And stop bringing us out. An old wives tale becomes real when that's the only thing that people have in their mind. But if they open their mind to a little bit of just because mama's grandma and someone said, well, that's because that's all they knew, okay, right. The problem with humans is we only know what we know. Yeah, And so they get yeah, And so I look at that and I'm like, and they say, I'm on this amount of testosterone and this did this? What happened with you? And they go back. It's twenty thirty forty comments and they're all saying different things. And that's what I'm trying to do, is to just harmone clarity. That's a big part of Age's gluprint. That's why I want you to go there. I actually created a chat GPT that's free Harmon Clarity Preview where you can download it and you can ask it questions. You can say, why is blood testing better? Why does this? So you can understand it and you can start demanding it, and you can get on these Facebook groups and say, look, hey, I have a link to this information source. It may help you out. So that's what I'm trying to do in school. So www dot skoo l dot com forward slash aids list, and that's what I'm going to be talking about on TikTok or whatever. Is trying to get that information out so that these women can have some credible information that they can use and not just go back and forth on a Facebook page. I just feel it.

46:45 I feel sorry that women have had to succumb to this because the physical because they haven't had any clear direction from any type of authorities. So yeah, that's it, So rebel any more comments before before we shut it down today real quick. They wanted to know did they limit what you brought on this adventure so you didn't contaminate it? Yeah, oh you definitely. You definitely can't bring any plastic or anything. The water bottles have to be these reusable water bottles. They pack you a lunch and then they tell you you bring some rain gear because sometimes it'll rain. So we had a little backpack. But what you can do for ten dollars, you can hire a porter and the porter will help get you up the mountain, will kind of make you know, help you if it's a steep thing, or kind of show you how to get the path. And it also carries your small backpack in your water, so you were limited. But yeah, but you definitely you don't throw anything down in the in the jungle.

47:46 Plus especially any plastic. They actually will search you and make sure you don't have any plastic. Uh, So you don't drop it in the jungle anywhere because it could really damage the damage the animals if they start to swallow it. Anyway, So, any other questions I think we got, Well, we got like ten seconds. Love so hey again, Happy New Year. I'm looking forward to a great twenty twenty six.
