You know how you see some people and they look twice their age, and you ask yourself, "How did
that happen? Why did that happen?" But the number one question that you really want the answer to
is, "How do I avoid that in my own life?" In this video, I'm going to share with you a couple of
easy steps that you can start taking today in order to promote anti-aging in your own body.
Hey, Wellness Warriors, I'm Dr. Nick Zyrowski, and I started my wholistic health practice in
order to help you take control of your health naturally because true health
only comes naturally. So be sure to subscribe to this channel, hit the notification bell,

At this point in my career, I've worked with over 15,000 different patients
and I always try to learn from them. And one of the things that still blows my mind today
is how some people can look twice their age and other people look half their age.
There was this gentleman that I started working with, probably about five years ago.
And when he first came in, I looked at him, and subconsciously, and just mentally I,
kind of, put an age to him. I I didn't realize I did that and to this point.
But I put an age to him and I thought to myself, "He's probably, like, 38, 39 years old."
And it wasn't until I was typing his information into the computer during
the exam that I realized, he was 55 years old. I'm still blown away
by this fact today. Now, on the flip side to that, I've taken care of 55-year-olds
that at first glance, I would have thought they were 70 years of age or more.
So the question is, is why is that deterioration happening in the body?
What's causing it and how do we get on the right path? Now, let's first
take a look at a few things that you must avoid in order to promote anti-aging. And then,
of course, let's take a look at some things you can implement in order to do the same.
Now, the first thing that we want to avoid is going to be sugar. Okay? Now, this doesn't mean
that you can never touch sugar, it doesn't mean that you have to be perfect all the time. Right,
because perfection is the quickest way to fail. We're not trying to be perfect
but it means you have to do a heck of a lot better than the average person out there.
Because it's estimated that the average individual consumes between 130 and 150
pounds of sugar every single year according to the Department of Health and Human Services.
But let's be reasonable about this, it's not a little bit of maple syrup,
or a little bit of honey that you use here and there that's the culprit. It's the sodas,
it's the snacks; it's the healthy bars that have 20 grams of sugar in them.
It's the desserts, it's the processed foods. It's all the things that you know that you
shouldn't be eating anyway that's causing a lot of aging in your body. Sugar is terrible
for your body. Combined sugar with fats, that's horrible. Combined sugar with protein,
it's horrible for our body, it drives a lot of inflammation.
So if you want to be the oldest person in the room,
continue to eat a lot of sugar. But if you want to promote anti-aging, it's time to cut it out,
and it's time to do it in a reasonable way so that you're able to still enjoy life.
And you're able to follow a sustainable practice of removing sugar from your diet.
The next big thing that you want to make sure that you're doing
is exercising daily. I tell people all the time, "Exercise is just as important to your genetics
as nutrition is." You have to be exercising, and I get that exercise is not some people's thing.
I have patients all the time that, literally, when I tell them they need to start moving,
they need to start exercising, I literally just see them close down on me. But the fact is,
it's so important, and I get it if exercise isn't your thing. There's some workarounds.
In fact, this patient that I had mentioned earlier that looked so young for his age, he actually
had owned a gym at some point in his life. So exercise is a big part of his daily regimen.
Now, if you're somebody who doesn't like exercise, then do your best to still move every day.
Putting your shoes on and going for a nice, brisk 30-minute walk is incredibly powerful. I literally
just did a video on the 25 amazing benefits of going for a 30-minute brisk walk a day. Check
that out, I think you'll really like it if you're somebody who's not a big, avid workout person.
For me, personally, I like to exercise five days a week: Two days a week, I do heavy weightlifting.
Two days a week, I do sprints and some cardiovascular exercise. And then one day,
I like to get in good, functional workouts as just promoting overall health and longevity.
The next big thing that you have to avoid is stress. And I know that me saying this sometimes,
I feel almost hypocritical because, like, I've been a stress monster for
many years of my life. Going through school, starting a practice, having a family, I mean,
look, life is stressful in so many ways. But we have to find ways to have peace within our life.
Because here's the thing, is that stress is so destructive for your nervous system,
for your cardiovascular system, for every cell in your body. And it really causes you to age
very fast. So we want to focus on avoiding stressful situations whenever possible,
but we also want to always focus on just overall peace in our life.
So you can do things like mindful meditation, you can do things like box breathing. You can
do things like getting that exercise in. I know that exercise for me is a huge stress reliever,
especially if you're getting out in the outdoors, and you're going for a nice
walk. Come up with your ways to relieve stress because it's incredibly powerful for anti-aging.
One of the things that I've always found over the years is that, it seemed that people that always
had a really positive, uplifting, joyful attitude, just about life in general, it seems that they
were so young at heart. And they look young for it, too. So try to avoid stress whenever you can.
Now, the next no-brainer strategy that you can implement into your life,
which I know a lot of you Wellness Warriors are already doing because we just did this
as a group in the community, is fasting. Okay there's a lot of ways that you can implement
fasting into your life, and there's a lot of reasons you should implement it.
From an anti-aging perspective, it's incredibly powerful because you get this process of autophagy
that breaks down old broken cells in the body and replaces it with newer healthy ones.
But you also get the benefits of the anti-aging hormones like growth hormone.
Now, there's a lot of ways you can participate in fasting. You can do intermittent fasting daily,
you can do a two-day water fast, a three-day water fast. Me, personally, I like to do
intermittent fasting about five to six days a week. I like to do a two-day water fasts
once a month. And then, I'll even throw in some three-day water fasts throughout the year as well.
Now we're going to shift our focus a little bit and talk about some very particular nutrients
that are science-backed when it comes to anti-aging. But before we get into that,
many of you ask me questions all the time that I cover in my private community.
Though the conversation of natural health starts on YouTube,
it continues on in the Wellness Warrior community.
As of recent, we've seen natural health account after natural health account being pulled down
off of social media, and censored. And most of the news today is all funded by Big Pharma.
So if you want to get the real story as to how you can improve your health naturally,
text this number on the screen, right here, and I'll add you into the Wellness Warrior
community. So text this number right here on the screen, and I'll see you on the other side.
And if you're not in the U.S. or Canada, then what you can do is in the comments below,
I'll put a link to where you can join the Wellness Warrior community through e-mail.
Now, this first nutrient I want to talk about is the reason that
everybody tells you to drink a glass of red wine at night.
It's the reason that when you drink this glass of red wine, it's correlated with
living longer in anti-aging because it has a very particular nutrient in it that comes from grapes.
And this nutrient is resveratrol. Now, when we look at anti-aging research, resveratrol is one
of the top nutrients out there being studied right now. And it's truly incredible because
it has been shown to actually activate genes that ward off age-related diseases in aging itself.
It also has been shown to suppress cancer cells. So this is why whenever I do any genomic-based
protocols for anti-aging, resveratrol is always one of the nutrients that I use in it.
Now, this next topic isn't necessarily a vitamin but it's a process in the body
that is promoted by particular vitamins which we'll cover in just a second. Now this process
is fundamental for anti-aging and overall vitality because it's involved in many biochemical pathways
such as detoxification, neurological health, liver health, eye health, brain health, bone health.
And this is known as DNA methylation.
DNA methylation is promoted in the body by taking vitamins like vitamin B5,
B6, B12, and also folate. So if you're going to go and take this, typically, you'll buy
a supplement that has all of these in it that promotes this process accordingly.
And what I'll do is I'll put a link in the description below to one that I use clinically.
And so when we look at anti-aging overall in the body, it's so important to realize that
there are many things that we can do in order to promote this. And when we look at cutting edge,
natural health, and wholistic health science today, it's using these very methods,
right. Because a lot of people are just waiting for the magic pill to come out.
Fact is, the magic pill doesn't exist. But when you start eating right, and you start
exercising, you take some of these different nutrients that we know promotes anti-aging,
you're going to go a long ways with this. And many people today have already proven that
just by living out their life and doing these very, exact things.
