Full Transcript Biological Age vs Athletic Performance 0:00 So I came across a comment on social media the other day. 0:02 It said, biological age versus real age is a total scam. 0:08 If you want to see your real-age, look at a master's category of athletic feats, such as a one-mile run time, not some scammy algorithms. 0:17 if the body can't physically express a performance, then you're the age on a birth certificate. 0:23 I posted that, I reposted that and said, yep, totally agree with this. 0:26 So he just mentioned scammy biomarkers. 0:29 We're going to get into that. 0:31 And he's comparing them with athletic feats. 0:35 How can you predict longevity between the two? 0:38 A lot of interesting comments and questions came in. 0:40 But the one that I wanted to chat about was one said, Peter, I mean, yeah, this kind of makes sense. 0:46 Why would physical tests be a better measure of biological age than fancy biomarkers? 0:55 So he's talking about fancy biomarkers that really suck at predicting how long you're going to live. 1:00 They're not meant to do that, they're measuring pathology. 1:04 So the kidney function through GFR, the heart function, through ejection fraction. 1:09 When you run standard medical tests, it's measuring risk factors and it is measuring I'm here to tell you that there's a new blood test called NVX Plus. 1:17 It's measuring function of physiology. 1:20 And it predicts longevity in that what's your chance of survival of the next five years. 1:26 it's very mathematically accurate. 1:27 Its been tested by the NIH on 30,000 people.
Introducing NVX Plus Biomarker Testing 1:31 Six different cohorts. 1:33 One was a healthy cohort. 1:35 The other five had some disease. 1:37 This test has been used to measure longevity for people with multiple sclerosis. 1:43 liver transplant, cardiac catheterization. 1:46 So, NVX Plus is new. 1:48 It was released January 6th of 2025. That's why Dr. 1:51 Atiya and a lot of other doctors have never heard of it. 1:55 I've been studying this since May of 2024, and once it finally got released in January, then I started running it, I run it now on about 900 people. 2:06 And it's absolutely fascinating. 2:08 It's a great clinical picture of your overall health and how your body is functioning, not risk factors. 2:14 Risk factors, they don't work so well. 2:17 And pathology, let's go back to what Dr. 2:19 Peter is saying here. 2:21 Ultimately, physical performance is indeed the best metric of the limits of capacity. 2:28 Let me butt in here, there are people who cannot perform physical feats very well but they live a long time. 2:33 There's an exception to this rule. 2:36 So there are non-physical performance metrics that we can look at as well. 2:39 I could look your kidney function. 2:40 Or I can at your glomerular filtration rate. 2:43 And that would certainly be a marker of age. 2:45 But honestly, it's only in an extreme case with that. 2:49 It's not a marker of age, it's a mark of pathology. 2:51 That gives me an insight. 2:52 In other words, only if somebody is 50 and they have a glomerular filtration rate of somebody who's 80 would I say the negative. 2:59 But the positive isn't really there. 3:01 If you look at my glumerular filteration rate it is over 100. It doesn't tell you much about me even though I'm over 50 years old. 3:08 My kidneys are in great shape, but it doesn�t tell me that I have the kidneys of a 20 year old because quite frankly they haven't deteriorated in any measurable 3:15 way since I�m 20. The same would be true of my ejection fraction. 3:18 It's really good today. 3:20 Now, of course, there are certain other factors that invariably go down.
Why Physical Metrics and Pathology Matter 3:26 Resting heart rate goes down, heart-rate variability, pardon me, resting heart goes up, heartbeat variability goes. 3:31 But ultimately, if you really want to understand biological age, I really like this idea of we should look at physical metrics, 3:37 right? 3:37 We should be looking at VO2 max, we But there are people who are strong with really good VO2 max and they run and dive a heart attack on the road or they 3:50 dive while playing basketball or lifting weights. 3:53 So they look good, they can run to do all these athletic performances. 4:00 and then they get a cancer diagnosis. 4:02 So it's all about physiology and how your body's functioning on the inside. 4:06 You also know of people that don't exercise and they live a long time. 4:09 My grandmother died at 98. She didn't excercise. 4:12 When you have exceptions to the rule, then you can't necessarily apply the rules to yourself because you might be the exception to a rule. 4:19 But there is a solution and that is MVX+. 4:22 We should be looking at hardcore performances, including other things, by the way, that are a little more subtle than the aggregate pieces. 4:29 But we would want to look at things like balance. 4:33 So how well can you stand on one leg with your eyes closed? 4:37 How long can do that? 4:38 And can even do more challenging things? 4:40 Like turn your head, push-ups, pull- ups. 4:42 And the X Plus measures six factors. 4:44 One of those is toxicity. 4:46 In my life, I've had three bouts of toxicity, had the gas leak at my house for over a year in 2024, and I had black mold toxicity in 2016. Both of unbalanced. 4:59 They both caused lack of endurance in the muscles. 5:02 When I had the gas leak I would drive to the gym to go work out. 5:05 I'd sit in my car for 30 minutes trying to breathe and I just drive home. 5:10 The gas leaked caused high pulse, high blood pressure, trouble breathing, so poor VO2 max. 5:15 It's actually increased now on my Garmin watch from 37 to 41 because I've detoxified. 5:21 Now in the early 90s, I was working on the family farm. 5:24 I got poisoned by parathion, which is a terrible pesticide, and I detoxed from that in 2005. And within three months of detoxing that pesticid, 5:33 i could quadruple my pull-ups and i doubled my push- ups within 3 months. 5:38 So my athletic feats got better because i detoxified. 5:43 That's how you get healthier. 5:44 And so MVX measures toxicity, inflammation, infection, malnutrition, and all of those lead to mitochondrial dysfunction. 5:54 Those are the best factors to determine if you're going to live long or not.
Toxicity, Detox, and Mitochondrial Health 5:58 How well does your body detoxify? 6:00 Now of those six factors, three of them are the branched chain amino acids. 6:05 So are you eating enough protein? 6:06 Do you have enough vitamin B1 in order to digest the protein. 6:11 I think the main reason why you want to exercise is to increase your appetite so you can eat more meat. 6:17 That's the biggest benefit of exercise, and there's all these other benefits, but the main point is to get more protein in your body that repairs your tissue. 6:26 It repairs you immune system, it repairs, your membranes, tissues, etc. 6:32 Am I optimistic that we will have blood-based biomarkers that give us more insight about age as time goes on? 6:37 Absolutely. 6:38 It's already here, it's MVX+. 6:40 Do I think they are all complete and utter garbage today? 6:43 No, I don't. 6:44 The ones that have now primarily measure one biochemical pathway in the cells is called methylation. 6:50 I didn't want to get into it. 6:51 But the cell detoxify in many ways, but they're only measuring that one way, methyllation. 6:57 But it's an incomplete test. 6:58 Now one test for longevity using methylation, it costs like a thousand dollars. 7:03 If you order NVX Plus from my office, its $89. It's really inexpensive. 7:08 I've been running it monthly on myself since January and here it is August. 7:13 So I get a readout on my health every single month. 7:16 You can run it twice a week if you want, or you can, you know, run every three months. 7:20 Its up to you and your goals and what you're trying to do. 7:23 I think there are some out there that probably give us a little bit more of an indication of rate of change of age than actual age. 7:30 But at the end of the day, I don't believe that there's a single blood-based biomarker that you can look at, and it can predict future years of life very well. 7:39 So he's talking about the single blood-based biomarker. 7:41 He's taking about methylation. 7:43 But now MVX plus is the six factors. 7:47 One of them is a multi factor for the immune system and inflammation. 7:51 So it's like watching a movie. 7:54 These readouts in MV X plus, they give you a beginning, middle and end. 7:59 Whereas GFR for kidneys or ejection fraction for heart. 8:03 That's kind of like a snapshot at that moment in time. 8:05 But with MVX+, you can actually see your body improving in the blood, physiologically, inside. 8:13 It's really fascinating. 8:14 When you start detoxing, MVx tells you, because now you look worse for a period of time, then the idea is to look to be better. 8:22 So when people detox, they feel better, and MV x looks worse, that's just part of the deal. 8:27 That is part the package. 8:28 This is how it goes. 8:30 It's been the greatest clinical tool of my 30-year career. 8:33 Don't discount the basics. 8:35 The basics are how well you physically perform. 8:38 The basics are get rid of all the chronic organisms in your body, reduce inflammation naturally, detox, eat a lot of protein over fats and carbs,
Protein, B1, and the Basics of Longevity 8:53 make sure you have enough B1 in you body because that's the single most important nutrient for every human being on planet earth and plants and animals. 9:01 Those are the basics. 9:03 I don't care if you could do one push up. 9:05 I don't really care. 9:06 I'm sure when my grandmother passed away at 98, she couldn't do a push-up or a pull- up. 9:12 Probably at the age of 60, it doesn't matter. 9:15 What matters is, is your body functioning on the inside? 9:18 Now, if you want to exercise, great. 9:19 Do it. 9:20 It's fun. 9:21 Makes me feel good. 9:22 But I think it increases the longevity. 9:23 The basics are the things I just mentioned. 9:32 Here's the graph that shows NVX Plus being the best way to predict longevity or mortality. 9:38 You can see on the left here, it says cumulative mortality incidence, and it goes from 0 up to 70%. And on right, is says your NVx score. 9:47 So your score should be low. 9:50 And when you're healthy, its going to be lower. 9:52 On the bottom, It says time, so 0, 1, 2, 3 for 5 years. 9:58 So if your score is 75, just scan all the way to the left, you'll see that the cumulative mortality incidence is 60%. And if you're score's 35 or less, 10:08 then your cumulative mortality incidence will be about 2% or 1%. So the point is run MVX Plus on yourself. 10:17 Know how to reduce your mortality by fixing up the six factors of MVx. 10:22 I've been doing this now for my whole career. 10:26 And I figured out the 7-step blueprint to optimal health, which I'll show you in a second, and it addresses the 6 factors. 10:33 Here's the seven set blueprint to optimal health. 10:35 I created this over my career and it lines up exactly with MVX. 10:39 So I have plenty of videos about this. 10:41 This is the solution to the problems discovered in MVx+. 10:45 This the original article about MV x plus when it was introduced to public and you can see right down here it says MV X February 2023. There's a link and
NVX Plus Mortality Graph and Risk Model 10:56 within this article there's some amazing graphics. 10:58 Let me show you two right now. 11:00 Here's the first graphic. 11:01 This is the old way of measuring longevity. 11:04 And these are the fancy biomarkers and risk factors that Dr. 11:08 Tia mentions, and this is what medicine is measuring left and right over and over again and trying to predict longevity, 11:16 you can see at the top it says age. 11:18 So this bar graph is telling us that when you do the math to figure out how long you're going to live, age is a greatest factor in those math equations. 11:27 The next one is kidney function down here. 11:29 And then you also have previous heart failure, there's BMI, diabetes, smoking, hypertension. 11:36 So these risk factors have exceptions to the rule, which is a problem. 11:40 Here's the new way of measuring longevity. 11:42 You can see MVX is at the very top here, and it's about 70% of the math of determining how long somebody's going to live. 11:50 Next is age, that's 20% percent of math. 11:53 People can be 95 years old, But if the MVX score is very low, like 30, they're going to live another five years. 12:01 And if somebody is 60 years old and their MVS score's 80, which is terrible, chances of them living five-years is not very high. 12:09 They need to work their butt off to improve their health and fix up the six factors of MVx. 12:15 The rest of the risk factors become negligible. 12:17 You can see they are at 0%, 1%, 2%. They all become less than 5% of a math of determining longevity. 12:26 once you incorporate MVX+. 12:27 So this is the new way of measuring longevity. 12:31 When you test for methylation, you tests for GFR, test your cardiac function, those are risk factors and those our pathologies, 12:40 whereas this actually testing physiological function at the mitochondrial and cellular level. 12:46 So when you're helping the body get better, you are fixing all the cells. 12:49 You're fixing other mitochondria. 12:50 Not just focusing on one organ like the heart or the liver, although I'm not discounting that. 12:55 I am saying the bodies made of cells and if the cell aren't healthy, then no organ will be healthy.
Seven-Step Blueprint and Clinical Access 13:01 So the focus is getting the self healthy and the first way you do that is detoxifying. 13:05 The second thing you after you detoxify is nourish. 13:08 If you want to order NVX Plus from my website, go to the frontpage.nhcaa.com, upper right corner, it says NVx Test. 13:16 If your a practitioner, you can order it for your patients. 13:19 if you're a patient, get your practitioner to order it. 13:23 There's only one of me, and there's like 1 million medical doctors, And there is what, 350 million Americans. 13:29 I can't do it all myself. 13:31 I have a training, mvxtraining.com, and this is for providers so you can learn how to run MVX and interpret it. 13:39 The initial training is at three hours and 20 minutes. 13:41 It's broken up into five sections. 13:44 And then I had what's called the Seven Step Blueprint to Optimal Health, which took me two years to put together and it solves all the factors in MVx. 13:52 Practitioners take that course and patients take the course also. 13:57 So, patients, you can go to theholistichealthacademy.com and sign up there. 14:03 Providers, go mvxtraining. 14:05 com. 14:06 It ends up in the same website, but there's different portals. 14:10 My last message is this. 14:11 The best way to increase your longevity and increase you health is with diet and supplements. 14:15 That's been my career since day one, is using only diet and supplements to get people better. 14:21 No drugs, no over-the-counter drugs. 14:23 no needles in any form, No prescriptions. 14:25 It's all diet in supplements. 14:27 And MVX Plus, the lab test, verifies that. 14:30 See if you have a bias against supplements or herbs or a healthy diet. 14:35 You have to remove that bias. 14:37 If you think that you're a statin drug to lower your cholesterol, extend your longevity, then that's not true. 14:43 That was already tested at Duke University. 14:46 Statin drugs are a failure at improving your MVX score. 14:49 They will never publish that study. 14:52 At Duke university, they also studied exercise and it did not lower the MVx score, it didn't make it better. 14:58 Again, you have to clean your body out. 15:00 This is where the detox supplements come in. 15:02 A healthy diet, high protein, get rid of organisms, reduce inflammation. 15:07 And if you want to be a patient in my office, call this number right here.
