Meet The 55 Year Old Single Mom Who's Aging Backwards

would you believe me if I told you that this woman's body was 36 years old probably not would you also believe me if I told you that for every year that passes she's only aging 66 years this is Julie Clark and she was ranked number two on something called the Rejuvenation Olympics leaderboard and she cracked the code on anti-aging and unlike Brian Johnson who spends $2 million a year to get these types of results and even Dave Pasco who I also made a video about who spends $330,000 a year to get these types of results Julie spends a whopping $200 a month on her longevity protocol so we're going to break down some of the most important aspects of her routine so that you can use it in your own life here's the best part about her routine she doesn't take hundreds of supplements every single day she doesn't use a bunch of really expensive biohacking tools she has pasta and eats cinnamon rolls every once in a while she's not a vegan she doesn't eat the same thing every day and she works a normal job which is what makes her approach so much more attainable for anyone and I know This sounds too good to be true but here's the kicker she's also a single mom so one of the most important aspects of Julie's Health that impacts everything else is her mindset and what she's about to share is so powerful that you might even want to rewatch this a few times Julie's been through some really tough times so I wanted to ask her how did she get through it and what's Drven her to be so healthy consistency over Perfection number one you're never going to get this perfect because this is lifelong and so I've just developed this concept of know you're why why you're going to do something know your intention essentially where you want to go or where you want to be and your resources my brother was hit by a car and killed very tragically in 2009 and my son was 3 years old you know i' just seen him for Christmas and 4 days later the police are knocking down my door and it was an absolute shock and I was probably anxious for about 10 years kind of getting my head around what happened most of that anxiety was coming from I had a 3-year-old and I am a single mom and although he has a father and he has family that love him it just kept occurring to me I'm his plan and I'm his backup plan and I really wanted to make sure that whatever I could control I would make sure that I was going to live as long as possible to be there for him as long as possible number two my other why is that again being a single mom you know you take 17 20 years you're going to give up all kinds of thing like I gave up different job opportunities travel opportunities there's no like girls weekend there's no like a lot lot of different things couldn't happen I just didn't have so I am looking forward to having a life that's not necessarily focused 100% on another person I'm looking forward to having like another 40 50 years that I can travel I can create a different career I can do all the things that I was not able to my intention is to make sure that my health span matches my life span this strong why is what allows her to continuously show up and do the hard things that will inevitably create a longer healthier life she explained to me that once you start getting into longevity you'll be flooded with an immense amount of options and it's so easy to get overwhelmed so that's why the best place to start is to come back to this framework of what's my why what's my intention and what are my resources and because her resources are limited she often just defaults to going back to the basics so if I'm looking at something that's you know $2,000 or something he's like well you know what that's just not in the cards for me but you know what is that measuring and ultimately does it tell you are these the behavior if it's something about changing behaviors are those behaviors I can adopt so for instance like I don't track my sleep right now but I know all the different things you've got to do to get your sleep right so I'm just going to nail that with or without a sleep tracker one of the really awesome things that Julie does is she rewards herself on holidays and birthdays with something health related she uses that as an opportunity to give herself a gift and invest back into her health so instead of celebrating by going out drinking or eating a bunch of junk she buys herself something like a CGM or she upgrades her gym membership sometimes she doesn't even buy something for herself she does this instead it doesn't have to be something that you can buy it can be a promise to yourself and these are promises you definitely want to keep more you keep a promise to yourself more you can trust yourself if somebody else made a promise to you and they didn't follow through you're sort of always in the back of your mind questioning so why would you want to question yourself by the way if you want to read some of my health philosophies then I just started posting on threads every single SLE day so if you want to read my daily thoughts go ahead and follow me there okay so what does Julie do for exercise Believe It or Not Julie didn't even like working out for the longest time but how could she be so fit and healthy if she doesn't like exercise what she did is she tricked herself by joining a gym that had a sauna and then she would tell herself I'm just going to go for the sauna and then she bought these special soaps and shampoos that she could only use at the gym so now there's like this smell component to going to the gym I think of it as like going to a spot I'm really just there for the sauna you know I'm there for that whole thing and the workout is just something I have to do for entry to the spa essentially so really like tying together like that aroma therapy plus how good you feel after a workout will get you addicted as far as workouts go Julie does a combination of strength training cardio and mobility throughout the week this includes full body workouts stretching Zone 2 V2 Max wrecking and walking or the strength training she does the Sarah Connor workout routine from Terminator for the V2 Max she follows the Norwegian 4x4 protocol which is basically 4 minutes going really hard and 4 minutes rest then four minutes going really hard then four minutes rest you do that four sets she also sneaks in something called exercise snacks throughout the day which is a term that was coined by Ronda pater this concept is about doing random intermittent little bouts of exercise throughout the day often times either before a meal or after a meal then she finishes off her workouts with a sauna and a 45-minute cold shower this is just another perfect example of how she's getting the most out of her money you don't need to buy the sauna or the expensive coal plunge to get the benefits of contrast therapy and I hope you're starting to see a pattern of how she thinks when it comes to these types of decisions I think I was reading Casey mean's book and she was going on and on about you know maybe get a treadmill desk or have a treadmill under here so you're walking and reducing that glucose uptake of the muscles or whatever you know like so you're doing something and not just sitting around all day so this is my mental weirdness but I I go to like I could buy this thing but it might just be something that I ultimately don't use and now I'm throwing out like I'm a big pre cycler I don't like to buy a bunch of crap and then like throw it out I'm like the person who walks through Costco and I get really depressed thinking oh my God this is all going to be tomorrow's landfill but anyway that's let's talk about nutrition now every morning she's going to have a green tea before her workout when she gets back she'll have something called the mean green drink which is 1 teaspoon of meringa 1. 5 tpoon of fermented dried greens . 5 taspo of Corella 1 teaspoon of maca one lemon Juiced sweetener for Taste 20 G of collagen protein and then ice and water to fill a 32 oz or 1 lit glass and if she has some she also mix in about 8 oz of beet Cabas based on our conversation it seems like this is an important habit for her to help with daily detoxification and you're going to find out why in just a little bit at 10:00 a.

m. she's going to have a greens latte and this is a combo of 8 oz of bone broth with apples orange peels and spices she'll add 4 oz of mixed baby greens with kale chard and spinach it's is important to note that she'll cook these down before she puts them in the drink to reduce the gagens which are something that can actually negatively impact thyroids you'll also add some flax seeds peans and protein powder around 11:00 a. m.

she'll have a mixed bowl of 8 to 10 ounces of veggies and then for dinner around 5:00 p. m. she'll have a big bowl of protein some starchy carbs and some veggies when it comes to food Julie's had quite the evolution in her diet she's done the vegan diet she's done the AIP diet she's done the keto diet but she shared with me that these diets she believes can be good for a time but it's not a long-term solution and that it's important not to stay so restrictive my mindset is that we should be able to eat really anything the dose makes the poison right so like I'll have a piece of candy I mean I'll even have like Pringles sometimes we just don't do it all the time my house isn't full of like packaged Foods or any of those things and I try like if there's sweet things that I like I really don't ever buy them cuz at one I love to bake I was craving some banana chocolate chip bread so I made it one weekend and you know my son will finish it off I might have one piece but I enjoy the baking as much as I do that so I don't ever buy the baked goods in the store and eventually she landed on two main principles number one eat a pound of veggies every day and number two hit 100 gr of protein and while her diet is really dialed in she shared with me how she continues to remain really flexible I think one of the things I heard you say on another podcast was that if you want the thing you just make it at home so yeah yeah yeah like it's a pizza if it's a pasta or if it's something like this you make it homemade you make it from scratch right Jam so it's like you kind of can have the treat but also it's the sourcing work for it yeah you got to work for it but it also like it teaches you what goes into stuff you know I went to Italy and learned how to make pasta and like learning how to make ravioli and so now like when you make it it takes a while and it was meant to be this special dish you know it's not something that we were meant to eat every night it was something you would only have when you go out or around certain holidays cuz everyone would get together and make because if you make them you see like there's a lot of work into a ravioli it's just not an everyn night dish and so things become special again when it comes to optimizing her sleep Julie keeps it pretty simple she has that early dinner at 5:00 p.

m. which we talked about and she's going to go for an evening walk and this helps ring down that blood sugar it's also going to help with the Circadian rhythm as you see the sun set on the horizon she also takes a magnesium supplement but it's important to take the right type of magnesium I've done an entire video dedicated to that subject that I'll put right up here somewhere for you to go watch afterwards then she starts her wind down routine she tapes her mouth she puts on her eye mask and then she's in bed by 9 9:30 if you want to learned more about optimizing your sleep I've made tons of videos on this channel about it and I'll put the playlist up somewhere right here as well but this journey hasn't been all sunshine and rainbows for Julie there was a period of time when she started to experience a lot of symptoms and she knew that something was off I was just so tired and I went of course I had my adrenals checked out but my hair started falling out quite significantly I had just been to the dentist to have my Mercury fillings removed and I thought well I should be good but my friend was asking me well did you do it this way did you do that way and then in thinking about it I was like no I didn't do it some there's like a safe way to remove the Mercury fillings I didn't do that and I had actually even swallowed a chunk so said you know just go get tested for metals and I'm glad I did because Mercury and Lead were off the charts but it was a conglomeration of I mean everything my doctor was like what did you do like work in a Chinese Factory so she started going through the cation process with her doctor and that's when everything started to change so anyway by week six I'm driving home and I'm like oh like this is amazing like this is how the rest of the world feels like I had I just I felt like I had this like fog right here that just like lifted and I could see things I could think clearly I just felt so Crystal Clear I just kept thinking wow like what else is out there that I do not know about that I want to feel this good all the time and so I just became very obsessed with how can I detoxify on a daily basis she also discovered through a genetic test that she had something called the mfrg and basically what that means is that you can't detoxify properly and you have to take methylated B vitamins in order to support that process and approximately onethird of the population has this genetic mutation so if you don't know if you have it or not get a genetic test could be as easy as getting like the 23 and me and you can just look up the snip and see if you have it and if you do then you need to do certain things in order to support that process one of the biggest contributors to the toxic buildup in our bodies has to do with the products that we use every day whether it's in our home or it's on our body or things we consume that's exactly why we put together a healthy non-toxic database where me and the team spent months researching and screening thousands of products and boiled it all down categorized it organized it made it look pretty and put it into this database where you can find exactly what you're looking for so you can start swapping out some of these toxic products and there's discounts for most of the products in the database so click the link in the description to get access to the database or go to Wellness daddy.
