[00:00:00] Les McDaniel: However, there is something about, the personal health that we are talking about today, which contains within it three different components. The first that we typically go to in our world, which is physical is not the end all be all. I run in groups right now where everything is about being tip top shape, living the longest possible life that you could ever live.

[00:00:23] Les McDaniel: Man, they are talking about right now, not this group, but many groups are talking about right now, that in the next 10 years the expectation for how long we can live. Could be up to 140, 150 years of age, our kids could potentially live well beyond that doubling in some cases the age, the average age before death today.

[00:00:47] Les McDaniel: It is crazy to, think about the fact that we could live that long. And yet as we've discussed, so many of us are not living in a peaceful state. We are living in chaos. And so what are we really doing when we start to focus in on living and having a healthier body that can sustain itself for 150 years?
