QUOTES:
'We have 40 trillion cells in our body - that's right, 40 trillion cells. And each of them is a living organism. And we don't think about the fact that we're this massive collection of cells collaborating to have this conversation' [14:33]
'The single most fundamental part of your diet is 'sugar is poison.' Right? Sugar causes neuroinflammation - absolutely clear. It causes cardiac disease - absolutely clear, right? Sugar feeds cancers. And so getting rid of sugar is the most important move anybody can make.' [33:13]
'One of the things that people should know is we're always developing cancers, the body is always developing cancers, it's just that your immune system finds them and zaps them.' [1:03:37]
'Regenerative medicine is the notion that we can use stem cells and exosomes and growth factors to help regenerate our body - to help regenerate muscle, brain, all of the tissues of our body.' [H:MM:SS]
'I think the biggest business opportunities on the planet are going to be age reversal and health tech and biotech.' [1:14:46]
'Everyone knows about someone who went to the hospital and, 'Oh my god, you've got stage three or stage four cancer.' It didn't happen that morning. If you detect cancer at stage three, or stage four, your chance of a cure is like 10%. If you detect it at stage zero, stage one, it's like 99%.' [1:30:06]
