We are being bombarded with disrupting chemicals. A lot of them, they're in our products.
Okay, let's go to my kitchen. Come with me.
So this is my fridge.
So the first thing I notice is this, because that's like the worst.
Can I get a bin bag?
This is made from recycled electronics.
What about this?
This is a problem also.
And this?
Ding, ding, ding. This is great.
I'm going to do utensils next.
Heating it up, the plastic, it's getting into your food.
What about a receipt?
That's bad. It's covered with BPA.
And studying in adolescent boys showed that it was associated with a 50% reduction in testosterone.
And then this is one that people often miss.
Dr. Rhonda Patrick.
Let's talk about something that I've never heard of before. Peak span. What the hell is peak span?
So it's essentially being within 90% of your peak function. For example, muscle mass, bone density, that kind of peaks around 25 years old. And then they kind of steadily start to decline.
You're joking.
And the same goes for cognitive function.
So I'm on the way down?
Yeah. And I'm definitely on the way down. But we can do things in our life to help maintain that peak span. Like if you exercise five hours a week, do some high intensity interval training in there and you can reverse heart aging by 20 years. And then sleep. Very, very important for preventing your immune system from aging rapidly. And then another thing that you can do that's really important for brain aging is...
And this is associated with a rapid decrease in Alzheimer's disease risk. But what I really want to talk about is intermittent fasting, Ozembeck supplements, and being sedentary.
So I want to talk about all of that. But we've got to talk about this in my hands at the moment.
So if you have this, it's going to double your risk of early mortality.
Double your risk?
Double.
Okay, so talk me through this. I want as much detail as possible.

Comment ‘Rhonda’ and I’ll personally DM you this full conversation.
I’ve had so many health conversations on this show and it’s almost at a point where I’m wondering if there’s much more that I’ve got to learn.
And then someone like Dr Rhonda Patrick sits across from you…
and I realised how wrong I was.
This is my second time speaking to Rhonda and after our first chat, I knew we had to speak again.
@foundmyfitness is a world-leading biomedical scientist who has dedicated her life to uncovering the truth about how to slow down aging and achieve optimal health.
She stays at the very cutting edge of the studies that are coming out and she’s so good at articulating them in a simple way that someone like me can understand. It means that I can live a happier, healthier life and so can you.
We touched on:
- The dangerous kitchen mistake everyone makes.
- The REAL reason you have brain fog.
- How to reduce visceral fat.
- Why you should stop touching receipts immediately?
Our first conversation focused on exercise, nutrition, and supplements but this time, we discussed what we can do in order to live as close as possible to our peak and the things in your everyday life that is silently killing you.
This was eye opening for me and Rhonda was even kind enough to raid my fridge to educate me on what my diet says about me.
If you feel like you’re doing “everything right” but still don’t fully understand what’s actually happening inside your body then this episode is for you.
