Energy Bite 407 – Tony Robbins on Longevity

Tony Robbins Points the Way
 to Longevity and Better Aging

Ever heard of the term “Biohacker” or “Biohacking”? This refers to the fairly recent practice of self-experimentation with both natural and artificial means of getting and staying healthy, slowing down or reversing aging, and other health related matters. This is done primarily via a change in physical state through some form of supplementation.

I used the term “fairly recent” because the field of biohacking goes back many centuries. It’’s basically the way many medical advances have been made for those centuries.

Sadly many of these biohackers are in the business of selling supplements. Most of the material I have studied from the Biohacking Community is filled with chemistry sets of advice on how to live longer and better if you just take their supplements. Is it good advice? I don’t know. Do they work? I’ve never heard from people actually taking them one way or the other.

Enter Tony Robbins and his new book, LifeForce, co-authored with Dr. Peter Diamandis. Wow! Tony Robbins is a name that most people think of as a motivational speaker and the guy from decades old late night TV infomercials. He does an amazing job of helping people make themselves better. He is the personification of Personal Energy.

Tony Robbins interviewed over 150 top scientists and medical professionals about the root causes of aging and how to slow it or even reverse it. This 700 page tome goes into the recent history of biohacking and aging and describes how the field of Regenerative Medicine is about to explode.

I am familiar with a lot of the research into Biogenetics, Mitochondria, ATP and the sources of our Personal Energy. I have written about it in recent posts, here and here.  But Tony Robbins has a knack of taking complex subjects and breaking them down in a way that we can understand and he has made the topic of aging and reversing the aging process into fascinating reading.

Robbins writes about the mindset involved in aging, longevity and the ability to age with vitality. In his book, he mirrors my own thinking about presenting material that will provide people with the information and methodology to help others live the longest life possible – with energy and enthusiasm and a high quality of life. In my case, I address only Seniors who want to continue living a healthy, active and independent life.

Interestingly, Robbins writes about how the result of a recent survey showed that most younger people, asked whether they would like to live to be 120 years old said that they wouldn’t like to live that long. They gave as their reason that they don’t want to get old and decrepit. They referred to the stereotype of who an old person becomes.

Take an hour and watch/listen to this great interview between Tony Robbins and entrepreneur Marie Forleo where he goes into some depth about Regenerative Medicine and reversing the aging process. It is a fascinating interview. You can find it here.

Remember the goal of The Come Alive Project, and now SeniorFlow, is to provide active seniors with useful information and means, to live a long, healthy, purposeful life.  In keeping with that goal, I recommend you watch this interview. I think you will find it to be a huge benefit in learning about what is coming down the road.

As Tony Robbins says: “Become the CEO of your own life. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF NOW SO YOU HAVE TIME TO CATCH UP WITH THE THINGS THAT ARE COMING.”

Thank you for reading.
