Dave Pascoe is a recently retired network security architect/engineer, who at age 61 looks, feels, and behaves like a 38-year-old.  https://www.davepascoe.net/ That's because, according to epigenetic age testing, Dave's cellular/biological age is 38! https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/trudiagnostictest In today's episode, you'll get to discover how Dave is defying the aging process through his unique lifestyle approach. Despite not adhering to strict calorie restriction or veganism, his aging rate reached an impressive 0.66—placing him among the top contenders at the Rejuvenation Olympics (similar to my recent guest, Julie Gibson Clark). While quite a bit more involved than Julie Gibson Clark's protocol, some say Dave's approach to biohacking and longevity, costing him approximately $15,000/year, is quite a bit more affordable and more attainable to the average person than billionaire Bryan Johnson's expenditure of $2 million/year! https://www.rejuvenationolympics.com/ https://bengreenfieldlife.com/podcast/julie-clark-podcast/ https://bengreenfieldlife.com/podcast/julie-clark-podcast/ So join us as we explore Dave Pascoe's inspiring journey toward optimal health and longevity, and discover the power of a holistic approach to well-being that encompasses physical fitness, nutrition, stress management, and cutting-edge therapies!
