Probably not.

Would you also believe me if I told you that for every year that passes, she's only aging 0.66 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 Pascoe, who I also made a video about, who spends $30,000 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 re-watch 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 driven 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 your 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 three years old.

You know, I'd just seen him for Christmas, and four 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 three-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 things.

Like, I gave up different job opportunities, travel opportunities.

There's no, like, girls weekend.

There's no, like, a 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 lifespan.

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, it's like, well, you know what?

That's just not in the cards for me.

But, you know, what is that measuring?

And ultimately, what 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.

The more you keep a promise to yourself, the 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 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.

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 spa.

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 aromatherapy 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, VO2 max, rucking, and walking.

For the strength training, she does the Sarah Connor workout routine from Terminator.

For the VO2 max, she follows the Norwegian 4x4 protocol, which is basically four minutes going really hard and four 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 Rhonda Patrick.

This concept is about doing random, intermittent little bouts of exercise throughout the day, oftentimes 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 cold 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 Kasey Means' book and she was going on and on about, you know, maybe get a treadmill desk or have a treadmill under so you're walking and reducing that glucose uptake of the muscles or whatever.

You know, it's like, so you're doing something and not just sitting around all day.

So this is my mental weirdness, but I kind of 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 it.

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 Moringa, 1.5 teaspoons of fermented dried greens, 0.5 teaspoons of chlorella, 1 teaspoon of maca, 1 lemon juiced, sweetener for taste, 20 grams of collagen protein, and then ice and water to fill a 32 ounce or 1 liter glass.

And if she has some, she'll also mix in about 8 ounces of beet kebabs.

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 a.m., she's going to have a greens latte.

And this is a combo of 8 ounces of bone broth with apples, orange peels, and spices.

She'll add 4 ounces of mixed baby greens with kale, chard, and spinach.

It's important to note that she'll cook these down before she puts them in the drink to reduce the glycogens, which are something that can actually negatively impact thyroid.

She'll also add some flax seeds, pecans, and protein powder.

Around 11 a.m., she'll have a mixed bowl of 8 to 10 ounces of veggies.

And then for dinner, around 5 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 because, 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 grams of protein.

And while her diet is really dialed in, she shared with me how she continues to remain really flexible.

One of the things I heard you say on another podcast was that if you want the thing, you just make it at home.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like if it's a pizza or if it's a pasta or if it's something like this, you make it homemade, you make it from scratch, right?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Damn.

So it's like you kind of can have the treat, but also it's sourcing.

You gotta work for it.

Yeah.

You gotta 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 because everyone would get together and make it.

Because if you make them, you see like there's a lot of work into a ravioli.

It's just not an every night dish.

And so things become special again.

When it comes to optimizing your sleep, Julie keeps it pretty simple.

She has that early dinner at 5 p.m., which we talked about.

And she's going to go for an evening walk and this helps bring 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 learn 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.

So there's like a safe way to remove the mercury fillings.

I didn't do that and I had to achieve and swallowed a chunk.

So just go get tested for heavy 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 chelation 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.
