Send us a textWhat if everything you thought you knew about aging and health was wrong? What if your genes aren't your destiny, and you could potentially live a vibrant life well past 100 years old?Dr. Mark Sherwood, founder of the Functional Medical Institute and former SWAT officer, brings a revolutionary perspective to health optimization that challenges conventional wisdom. This eye-opening conversation reveals how the modern healthcare system is failing Americans despite costing $10,000 per family annually—more than any other industrialized nation with worse outcomes.The transformation from law enforcement to naturopathic medicine might seem unusual, but Dr. Sherwood explains both share the same core mission: protection and service to mankind. His journey offers powerful inspiration for anyone feeling trapped in their current career, demonstrating how to reinvent yourself by following your passions while maintaining laser focus on your goals.At the heart of Dr. Sherwood's approach are the eight pillars of health—four you control completely (nutrition, sleep, stress management, and movement) and four requiring expert guidance (genetics, hormones, peptides, and supplements). He dismantles the myth that genetics determine our health destiny, explaining that our genes have changed only 2% in 10,000 years. The explosion of chronic disease is primarily environmental, not genetic.Perhaps most revolutionary is Dr. Sherwood's perspective on human lifespan. While many Americans resign themselves to living into their 70s, both biblical texts and scientific evidence suggest humans should naturally live to approximately 120 years when properly caring for their bodies. This isn't theoretical—he references documented cases including Jeanne Calment who lived to 122 and a current Japanese individual who is 118.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Sherwood shares practical wisdom about becoming a "Hope Dealer," someone who spreads hope through small acts of kindness. This philosophy extends beyond physical health to encompass mental wellbeing, community service, relationships, and spirituality—creating a truly balanced approach to longevity.Ready to redefine what's possible for your health and lifespan?

Monday, 17 March 2025   Then another of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” Matthew 8:21   “And another – of His disciples – said to Him, ‘Lord, You permit me first to go and inter my father'” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus told the scribe that the Son of Man has nowhere to recline His head. Next, He is again approached. Matthew records that, beginning with, “And another – of His disciples.”   The word translated as another, héteros, signifies another, but distinct in kind. This is in contrast to the Greek word állos which signifies another of the same kind. In other words, this appears to confirm that the scribe of the previous verse was not a disciple.   Rather, he was just an opportunist looking to ingratiate himself to Jesus in order to somehow profit off of His ministry. Of this person now, it says that he “said to Him, ‘Lord, You permit me first.'”   The word epitrepó, to permit, is introduced here. It literally means “to upon turn.” In other words, it is an expression to be used in a figurative sense to mean permit, yield, allow, etc.   If one thinks of a wheel turning, one might say, “As the wheel turns, I want to do this.” It would indicate an interval of time being permitted for him to do the requested thing. In this case, this upon turning is “to go and inter my father.”   Another new word is used, thaptó, to inter. Saying “bury” is something that we generally do, and so it is what we think of. However, it says in translations of 1 Corinthians 15:4, using this same word, that Jesus was buried. That is technically not correct. He was entombed or interred.   This was a common form of disposing of a body in Israel. It would be placed in a tomb, allowed to decay, and then the bones would be collected and placed in an ossuary. This can be seen in the passage about Lazarus –   “Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it. 39 Jesus said, ‘Take away the stone.' Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, ‘Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.' 40 Jesus said to her, ‘Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?' 41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, ‘Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. 42 And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.' 43 Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, ‘Lazarus, come forth!' 44 And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, ‘Loose him, and let him go.'” John 11:38-44   This is also why it was pointed out that no one had been laid in the tomb where Jesus was interred before –   “This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 53 Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock, where no one had ever lain before.” Luke 23:52, 53   The tombs were reused after the bones had been removed and placed in an ossuary. The disciple is saying to Jesus that he would follow Him, but he first had to tend to his father's internment. The probable meaning is that his father was old and would need to be buried upon his death. He was asking for a chance to see him off before following him.   What precipitated this was that Jesus was going to go to the other side of the sea with His disciples. Not knowing how long this would be, based on what He said to the scribe, he didn't want to abandon his father at the time of his passing.   The reason this is the likely scenario is that when a person died, the culture insisted on an immediate internment. A delay of twenty-four or fewer hours would not call for such a response. Rather, the unknown date of an elderly person's passing could ostensibly go on for years.   Life application: In 1965, a lawyer named André-François Raffray signed a contract to buy the house of Jeanne Calment. At the time Jeanne was 90. André-François figured it wouldn't be long until she punched her ticket, and so he agreed to pay 2500 francs a month until she died. This is about $500 in today's dollars.   Raffray didn't expect her to live to be 123 years old. In fact, he died in 1995 at 77 while Jeanne Calment, the seemingly Everlasting Bunny, was still a spry 120. She lived three more years while Raffray's family continued to pay her the monthly agreed upon amount.   In all, the over-eager Raffray (and his family after him) paid Jeanne Calment a total of 918,000 francs. This was nearly double the amount that the apartment was worth.   Remembering this lesson, we need to not get ourselves into things without any set end to them lest we lose our shirts in the process. Eternity is forever. Be set in where you will go when you go. Invest in Jesus, the only true guarantee of eternal life in the presence of God. Do it today!   O God, we invest in a lot of things in this life. Many of them turn out to be bad decisions filled with loss. But even when they are successes, they will eventually fade away. Nothing is sure except that we are set to die and then face the judgment. May our judgment for salvation wisely be settled now by calling on Jesus! Amen.

Leitura bíblica do dia: Salmo 90:1-14 Plano de leitura anual: Isaías 39-40; Colossenses 4 Em 1990, alguns pesquisadores franceses tiveram um problema no computador ao processar a idade de Jeanne Calment. Ela tinha 115 anos, uma idade fora dos parâmetros do programa de software. Os programadores pensaram que ninguém poderia viver tanto! Na verdade, Jeanne viveu até atingir seus 122 Anos. O salmista escreve: “Recebemos setenta anos, alguns chegam aos oitenta” (Salmo 90:10). Esta é uma forma figurada de dizer que, independentemente da idade a que chegarmos, mesmo que sejamos longevos como Jeanne Calment, nossa vida nesta Terra é limitada. Nossos dias estão nas mãos soberanas de um Deus amoroso (v.5). Entretanto, no reino espiritual, o “tempo de Deus” é diferente do nosso: “Para ti, mil anos são como um dia que passa…” (v.4). Na pessoa de Cristo, a “expectativa de vida” recebe um novo significado: “quem crê no Filho de Deus tem a vida eterna…” (João 3:36). “Tem” está no modo presente: agora mesmo, em nosso atual momento repleto de tribulações e lágrimas, nosso futuro é abençoado e nossa vida não tem fim. Por este motivo celebramos com o salmista, orando: “Satisfaze-nos a cada manhã com o teu amor, para que cantemos de alegria até o final da vida” (v.14). Por: Kenneth Petersen

She is the only person verified to have reached the age of 120 and beyond. According to census records, Calment outlived both her daughter and grandson.[2] In January 1988, she was widely reported to be the oldest living person, and in 1995, at age 120, was declared the oldest verified person to have ever lived.[3]

Richard C. Hoagland is the principal investigator and founder of The Enterprise Mission, as well as the vision and the voice of The Other Side of Midnight. In the first half, he discussed images from Odysseus, a recent unmanned American lunar mission. According to Hoagland, the new lunar mission's close-ups dramatically confirm his decades-old "ancient, artificial structures on the Moon model" that he first proposed at the National Press Club in March 1996. The Washington Post even published a "hit piece" 28 years ago on the press event. He suggested that the reason many private and non-US missions to the Moon have run into problems is because they are literally crashing into the glass dome, which he claims exists all over the Moon but is denser in certain regions.The dome, Hoagland continued, could be billions of years old and has been battered by a stream of interplanetary micrometeorites that, over eons, have left holes in it. In image #2 that he sent us, he explained that you can see the sun shining through the "incredible geometry of the glass dome" as the light bounces off of it, creating a refraction. He has concluded that a renegade group in and outside of NASA wants to reveal the truth about these structures on the Moon, and that the recent Odysseus mission functioned as a kind of Trojan horse for that goal. There are ruins throughout the solar system, he added, and it will be fascinating to eventually learn who placed them there and if they are related to our species.------------Venki Ramakrishnan shared the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for uncovering the structure of the ribosome and runs Ramakrishnan Lab. In the latter half, he discussed the science of mortality and aging, the giant strides being made in the field, and the possibility that we may someday be able to extend our lifespan. The oldest person that ever lived (that we have reliable records for) was a French woman named Jeanne Calment, who died at the age of 122 in 1997. Aging is the accumulation of chemical damage to our molecules and cells over time, he explained, and it starts gradually with small defects; these lead to medium-sized ones that manifest as the morbidities of old age, leading eventually to the system-wide failure that is death. Someone like Calment may have an extraordinary ability to fend off or repair the body's defects that come with aging. For instance, as we age, the risk of cancer goes up, he noted.Scientists are now asking if it's possible to extend our longevity past 120. Ramakrishnan believes we may have to alter our natural biology to achieve this, which could be a challenging proposition. He reported that larger species tend to live longer on average-- for instance, a blue whale or Greenland shark will live 400 years, and other whales live 200 to 300 years. He cited that stress can take a toll on a person, while the "trinity of health" is the combination of a good, moderate diet, exercise, and adequate sleep. Sleep deprivation, he pointed out, increases the risk of many diseases of aging, including cardiovascular problems, obesity, cancer, and Alzheimer's. This may be because during sleep the body performs various repair mechanisms. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/georgenoory/message

Oz wanted to learn about some animals that will outlive us all, and gave some suggestions of really long-lived animals that we'll talk about. We had a similar episode several years ago about the longest lived animals,where for some reason we talked a lot about plants, episode 168, but this is a little different. But first, a quick correction! Last week we talked about the dodo and some of its relations, including the Nicobar pigeon. I said that the Nicobar pigeon lived in the South Pacific, but Pranav caught my mistake. The Nicobar pigeon lives in the Indian Ocean on the Nicobar Islands, which I should have figured out because of the name. Anyway, back in the olden days when I was on Twitter all the time, I came across a tweet that's still my absolute favorite. Occasionally I catch myself thinking about it. It's by someone named Everett Byram who posted it in January 2018. It goes: “DATE: so tell me something about yourself “ME: I am older than every dog” Not only is it funny, it also makes you thoughtful. People live a whole lot longer than dogs. The oldest living dog is a chihuahua named Spike, who is 23 years old right now. A dog who was supposed to be even older, 31 years old, died in October of 2023, but there's some doubt about that particular dog's actual age. Pictures of the dog taken in 1999 don't actually look like the same dog who died in 2023. The oldest cat who ever lived, or at least whose age is known for sure, died in 2005 at the age of 38 years. The oldest cat known who's still alive is Flossie, who was born on December 29th, 1995. If your birthday is before that, you're older than every cat and every dog. The oldest human whose age we know for sure was Jeanne Calment, who died in 1997 at the age of 122 years. We talked about her in episode 168. The oldest human alive today, as far as we know, is Maria Branyas, who lives in Spain and will turn 117 years old on her next birthday in March 2024. It's not uncommon for ordinary people to live well into their 90s and even to age 100, although after you reach the century mark you're very lucky and people will start asking you what your secret for a long life is. You might as well go ahead and make something up now to tell people, because it seems to mainly be genetics and luck that allow some people to live far beyond the lives of any dog or cat or most other humans. Staying physically active as you age also appears to be an important factor, so keep moving around. But there are some animals who routinely outlive humans, animals who could post online and say “I am older than every human” and the others of its species would laugh and say, “Oh my gosh, it's true! I'm older than every human too!” But they don't have access to the internet because they are, for instance, a Greenland shark. We talked about the Greenland shark in episode 163. It lives in the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans where the water is barely warmer than the freezing point. It can grow up to 23 feet long, or 7 meters, with females being larger than males. Despite getting to such enormous sizes,

One of the many challenges in planning for retirement is grappling with the unknown. A big unknown is longevity. No one really knows how long they'll live. And there's a growing number of centenarians these days. What if you live to be 100? Or what if you become a super-ager and live much longer than that? It's something to consider in your planning, both financially and non-financially. And this longevity revolution we're in the midst of is creating many challenges for systems that were built to support lives that lasted a handful of years after retirement. William J. Kole, author of The Big 100: The New World of Super-Aging, joins us to discuss the joys and consequences of longer lives - and what we can learn from super-agers that could help you live a triple digit life. ____________________ Bio William J. Kole, recently retired as the New England news editor for Associated Press, is a veteran journalist and former foreign correspondent who has reported from North America, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. The grandson of a woman who lived a few months shy of 104, Kole has been writing about extreme longevity since the 1990s, when he was based in Paris and told the world the extraordinary story of Jeanne Calment, who lived to 122. His many awards include one from the Society of American Business Editors & Writers for an investigation into the exploitation of undocumented immigrants by the Walmart retail chain. The Big 100: The New World of Super-Aging is his first book. He speaks French, Dutch, and German, and resides in Warwick, Rhode Island. _______________________ For More on William J.

We're going to hit a very important milestone just a little over 10 years from now in 2034, when the numbers of Americans who are 65 and older will outnumber those who are 18 and younger for the first time in our history. And the number of people who are 85 and older are rapidly growing. It's one of the fastest growing subsets of the population. But what's really driving this, what I call a new world of super aging, is really two-fold. One is just demographics. So the baby boomers, a huge generation numerically are getting older. I'm one of them. I think you might be too, Joe. {Indeed}And there's at least 70 million about by some counts, a bit more than that. The oldest of us is about 77 right now. So in the next 25 years, the fittest of those people will age into triple digits. And interestingly, centenarians tend to occur in one in 5,000 in the population in general, in many places at least. This is according to Tom Perls at the New England Centenarian Study, which is the largest of its kind in the world. And so just by virtue of there being so many boomers aging, we're going to see a sort of algorithmic increase in the numbers of people living to 100. And then there's a medical and technological piece, where we are doing a better job at treating, and in some cases, curing the things that kill us."   On Stress & Longevity "For me,

Für fast ein Jahr war sie mit 118 Jahren der älteste lebende Mensch der Erde, die Französin Lucile Randon. Jetzt ist sie gestorben. Wenn man sich auf die eindeutig dokumentierten Lebensdaten verlässt, dann war die 1997 verstorbene Französin Jeanne Calment mit 122 Jahren der absolut älteste Mensch. In vielen Ländern gibt es aber keine zuverlässigen Geburtsregister. Immer wieder tauchen Nachrichten von noch älteren Menschen auf, die ihr Geburtsdatum aber nicht beweisen können. Ein Mann in Indonesien soll 145 Jahre alt geworden sein, ein Äthiopier sogar 171 Jahre. Das wirkt geradezu unvorstellbar. Durchschnittlich erreichen Männer in Deutschland ein Alter von 78 Jahren und Frauen 83 Jahre. Die älteste in der Bibel erwähnte Person war Methusalem. Er verstarb demnach mit 969 Jahren. Die Französin Lucile Randon war eine gläubige Frau, die sich nicht vor dem Tod fürchtete, weil sie sich sicher war, dann in der Ewigkeit Gottes weiterzuleben und dort ihre gläubigen Freude und Verwandten wiederzusehen. Der Tod fordert heraus, ganz gleich in welchem Alter man stirbt.

In 1990, French researchers had a computer problem: a data error when processing the age of Jeanne Calment. She was 115 years old, an age outside the parameters of the software program. The programmers had assumed no one could possibly live that long! In fact, Jeanne lived until the age of 122. The psalmist writes “our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures” (Psalm 90:10), a figurative way of saying whatever age we live to, even to the age of Jeanne Calment, our lives on earth are indeed limited. Our lifetimes are in the sovereign hands of a loving God (v. 5). In the spiritual realm, however, we’re reminded of what “God time” really is: “A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by” (v. 4). And in the person of Jesus Christ “life expectancy” has been given a whole new meaning: “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life” (John 3:36). “Has” is in the present tense: right now, in our current physical moment of trouble and tears, our future is blessed, and our lifespan is limitless. In this we rejoice and with the psalmist pray, “Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days” (Psalm 90:14).

It's 1875. There are 38 states in the US. Queen Victoria rules the UK. The Eiffel Tower won't be built for another 12 years. The Empire State Building – not for another 50! The average life expectancy for a 19th-century female is about 45 years. One woman, born this year, will nearly triple that. Her name is Jeanne Louise Calment… She was born in Arles, France, right at the beginning of the global industrial boom. She was a year old when the telephone was invented. The phonograph followed 2 years later. Then the automobile, radio, TV, the computer, and the Internet over the decades. By the time Microsoft was founded, Calment was already 100. When the first smartphone was invented, she was 117. She knew a world without airplanes and spaceships! But many people noted that Jeanne was always full of energy. She looked and acted 20 or even 30 years younger than her age. So was Jeanne Calment really the oldest person who ever lived? If so, what were her secrets to long life?

Jeanne Calment lived her entire life in the South of France. She filled her days with leisurely pursuits, enjoying a glass of port, a cigarette and some chocolate nearly every day. In 1997, Ms. Calment died. She was 122.With medical and social advances mitigating diseases of old age and prolonging life, the number of exceptionally long-living people is increasing sharply. But no one is known to have matched, let alone surpassed, Ms. Calment's record.Longevity scientists hold a wide range of nuanced perspectives on the future of humanity. Some consider life span to be like a candle wick, burning for a limited time. While others view it as a supremely, maybe even infinitely elastic band.As the eminent physicist Richard Feynman put it in a 1964 lecture, “There is nothing in biology yet found that indicates the inevitability of death.”This story was written by Ferris Jabr and recorded by Audm.

SHR # 2754:: NHow Long Can a Person Live? The 21st Century May See a Record-breaker - Michael Pearce - Doctoral Student University of Washington - The number of people who live past the age of 100 has been on the rise for decades, up to nearly half a million people worldwide. There are, however, far fewer “supercentenarians,” people who live to age 110 or even longer. The oldest living person, Jeanne Calment of France, was 122 when she died in 1997; currently, the world's oldest person is 118-year-old Kane Tanaka of Japan. Such extreme longevity, according to new research by the University of Washington, likely will continue to rise slowly by the end of this century, and estimates show that a lifespan of 125 years, or even 130 years, is possible.
