this is the oldest person in America
this is her at 3 years old in 1913 this
is her at 20 years old 30 years old 40
years old 50 years old 60 70 80 90 100
110 and this is her today
AT3 years old and this is me a
20-year-old she was
93 when I was born when's your
birthday September 26th 1910
that's insane are you glad you've lived
so long are you glad you've lived so
long the reason I'm making this video is
because I just turned 20 and I'm
wondering how long I'm going to live
what advice would you give to someone
trying to live longer
worry but what does she mean by that we
we'll get back to her in a second
because what she doesn't know is that on
this Quest I've already tried the three
most famous methods to try and live long
first we went to a Haven of nutrition
and exercise the town where everyone
lives longer than average lomalinda
California then I visited Brian Johnson
the man who's trying to use science to
reverse his age and finally I went to
Alor the lab that says they can keep you
frozen forever so that you never truly
die let's see what Naomi thinks of all
these things is religion important to
you did you ever take vitamins would you
want to live forever if you could so by
the end of this video you'll know with
me not only which methods actually work
to reverse your age but scientifically
the most optimized way to live as long
as possible starting in Lolinda let me
show you what I learned there and then
we'll get Naomi's perspective on
it basically L Linda is what's known as
a Blue Zone a special kind of town where
people live longer than average there's
only one in the United States and it's
located here in California the average
life expectancy is higher than anywhere
else in the United States and it's 10
years above the national
average
why never hold a camera yeah I my
cameraman quit on me like for some
reason so now I have a new cameraman and
Camera woman and she's not doing a
pretty good job I'm doing so good okay
we're going to go talk to some folks at
the lomalinda market where apparently
they ban meet there's no meat at all
we're going to be walking around the
market and there's going to be lots of
people shopping for their vegan and
vegetarian
so um let's go talk to them and see what
they've got going on at the Lolinda
Market by the way there is not one sign
outside of this grocery store that says
like vegan grocery store we're just in L
Melinda so it's just expect it if you're
going to walk in
here what else would you expect you know
what I mean look at all of this veg
burger vegetable scallops vegetarian
burger Vegeta I wonder how many veg puns
we could find in this grocery store
probably thousands how is a hot dog in a
can like this that was kind of
disgusting after walking around the
store we ran into the store's supervisor
who answered some questions for us about
the community and their beliefs avenus
we we we focus more on the beans and the
greens and the Natural Things most
avenus we're even not drinking any
caffeine because it's a stimulant y uh
so we we don't carry coffee or Coke we
carry more of the natural things things
that me like green coffee extract okay
so we do have stuff with caffeine
there's no meat in the store no smoke
Paia of any kind our Focus here is is
simply to be a community store we're
here to help the community you want to
encourage healthy lifestyle you want to
encourage Better Living they eat healthy
here completely vegetarian but there's
something else about lalinda that I
learned this is the Church of 7th Day
Adventist the sth day Adventist the
reason it's called seventh day is cu on
the seventh day they rest which is I
guess good for their mental health and
their longevity um this is their main
Church um and all it's surrounded by a
hospital because they kind of go hand in
hand you know the church and like health
and all that stuff religion religion
apparently plays a huge role in why
people live so long in Lolinda but is it
the Angels coming down making people
live longer as a reward for being so
religious or is it the community that
that religion gives them after walking
around for a bit we came across a
resident that was willing to talk to us
pette she's lived here for 27 years so
we asked her why she thinks people in
Linda live so much longer this whole
Community is just amazing and I think a
lot of it is because of Randy Roberts
our our current Pastor he's been here
for 24 years Choose Wisely the road you
will travel and wisely the road not
taken and may God bless you he has built
this attitude of community so do you
think the community in in in the way
people treat each other is a big part of
what makes people live so much longer I
think so so we decided to visit one of
the oldest members of the community to
see if she thinks these pillars have
contributed to her long life this lady
is 100 do you follow a lot of the 7th
Day Adventist um religious like things
like are you a vegetarian oh yes I'm a
vegetarian have you always been well
since eight years old wow wow and do you
think that that that has made you a lot
healthier
I guess so have you always been
religious even since you were eight yeah
my my parents put me in in a church
schol and so I went through through all
the the Advent of schools yeah so as you
can tell religion is very important to
the residents of lominda it's also a big
part of Naomi's life is religion
important to you oh yeah oh yeah mm if
you you didn't go to church you didn't
go no place else and usually when I
asked her questions she would respond in
two or three words look what happened
when I asked her to recite a Bible verse
do you have a favorite verse in the
Bible no my ship but I shall not
want Mak me light down in green
B you st my
soul sh of death Fe no evil but that are
with me that ra ni death they comfort me
that prepare the T for in the prison my
enemies that anointed my head
before my cup run is over shoy goodness
and mercy shall follow me all the days
of my life and I shall run the eyes of
the Lord
for and this is by far the most amount
of time that Naomi was able to go
speaking throughout this entire video
without stopping as a whole Naomi
clearly agrees with the importance of
religion and probably the community that
that brings her creating our first
Philosophy for Long Life Community but
there's two more philosophies to Naomi's
long life that I was still yet to
discover did you ever take vitamins
vitamin no Naomi never took vitamins to
improve her lifespan but there is
somebody else who does ran Johnson this
man is on a quest to one day beat Naomi
and become the new oldest person ever he
lives in Venice Beach California where
he's currently using Advanced scientific
methods to biologically reverse his age
to 18 years old he has a whole community
that follows his methods so I decided to
join them at one of their signature
don't die hiking events yes they're
literally called Don't Die events okay
it is time to go to the don't die event
this dude says his daily intake is 20%
olive oil that's crazy this is the cold
woo everyone here's going to live
forever nobody here's going to
die evil
[Music]
design three parts of this event the
warm up that we just did the hike which
we're about to do and then nutty pudding
and olive oil all I knew about Brian
before coming on this hike was that he
did crazy anti-aging techniques I'm not
sure if these actually make him live
longer but this is what he used to look
like and this is what he looks like now
he spent Millions to improve his skin
but you don't have to spend $2 million
trying and look like Brian you can just
use geology if you remember some of my
old videos I used to have a decent
amount of acne so for literal years I
tried using benzo broide this stuff is
literally potent look at my actual
shower towel it's literally stained with
my acne stuff so I'm constantly having
to throw out my towels and get new ones
because my acne medication was so potent
and that's the stuff I'm putting on my
face for literal years I've been trying
to find a replacement that still works
to solve my acne and nothing worked
until I found geology geology is simple
just fill out a quiz on their website
that takes 1 minute to complete and
they'll find you the perfect kit of
products just for you then will come to
your door in a little box looks exactly
like this and each product is perfectly
labeled with the exact steps on how to
use it it's super easy and clear don't
worry the entire thing is a 2-minute
process every day I genuinely really
think you should try this it's made a
huge difference in my confidence it
probably would have helped me do better
and the why he's attractive and I'm not
video If you're trying to look good this
stuff really works it makes your skin
look better and it's cheap if you use my
code Jack g90 at the link in the
description you can get a trial box for
$5 I highly recommend it so how long do
you think you're going to live me yeah
before this like I would have said like
75 but I think now probably like 130 140
yeah if I can make it to
80 70 that's good enough for me oh come
on so by this point I was starting to
learn about Brian's philosophies but I
feel like it would be a missed
opportunity if I didn't go up to him to
ask him some questions myself do you
think living forever do you want to live
forever do you want to never die or do
you just want to extend your
life human brain is incapable of
Compu we don't have right when you say
you want
tomor yeah we got stuff going on it's a
very easy answer
I took about like 40,000 steps when we
got to the end of the hike Brian passed
out the olive oil so of course I had to
try it hand in all right boys cheers
cheers and to finish things off Brian
got on the table power laity where his
first final takeaway
was then he said 6 hours a week of
exercise and finally loow no alcohol now
sck as sleep and believe it or not Naomi
follows all these same values too did
you ever drink alcohol
no no no no never drink no
liquer did you ever smoke cigarettes
oh I didn't make bad Brees would you say
you've always eaten
healthy most Naomi never drank alcohol
or smoke despite the fact that at one
point in her life 45% of a America was
smoking so I don't know if correlation
equals causation but Naomi has lived a
very healthy life is exercising
important to you yes is that
yeah PL in the field that PL in
the so for Naomi's second philosophy to
long life I'd say nutrition which
includes not smoking or drinking Naomi
may not have realized it but she was
keeping her body healthier than almost
anyone else in her time but there's
still one more philosophy in Naomi's
life that we're yet to uncover you know
it's 2024 now people are using much more
technologically advanced ways to try and
live longer and the most advanced way of
doing it is located in Phoenix Arizona
it's called alore a lab where they
freeze dead bodies so that they can
bring them back to life eventually when
the technology becomes
available seriously this is alcore life
extension Foundation stored in the
middle of the desert their goal is to
one day bring these people back to life
is this place actually real are these
people actually going to be revived Al's
given me their process start to finish
so I can see how they supposedly keep
people from dying this lab actually
exists and I went there in order to make
people live forever the first step is
putting them in this van to take them to
the
lab I am inside the van where they load
the bodies right
now this is crazy and this is Mike my
name is Mike Perry
and I am uh called the care services
manager here in alore I look after the
people we have stored in liquid nitrogen
step two once the person arrives is to
cover them in
ice ice cubes as soon as circulation
stops in the body the tissue starts to
deteriorate so you want to get a cold to
keep that from happening but while ice
cubes May temporarily keep them cold
enough if you put something in the
freezer it's the same principle in order
to keep them for long-term storage you
have to freeze them in liquid nitrogen
your freezer isn't all that cold so some
deterioration is going to happen over a
long period of time but liquid nitrogen
is cold enough that they aren't going to
change much in millions of years but if
Alor succeeded in bringing people back
to life how would they do it you're
going to have to take a Caro reserved
brain and you're going to have to do
something called a molecular scan
and that means you figure out where all
the atoms are once you do that you'll
have a a giant chunk of data and then
you stuff that into your best computer
with that information it should be
possible to recreate a functioning
version of the person that is an
embodiment of that person that's in in
your computer so it would wake up and in
that in that kind of setting so they're
probably not going to need your whole
body just brain I'm excited to hear what
Naomi thinks of all this Mike doesn't
think we're going to come back as humans
we're talking about coming back as a
computer I think the odds are quite good
assuming that of course all cor survives
civilization doesn't destroy itself with
some kind of nuclear or or something I
think the odds are very good that that
people will be brought
back is living onward even ethical is
that something that I as a person even
want want to do or is the time to die
when you die I mean these are like
important ethical questions you know and
I I don't know what the answers are but
this is how you would save someone if
they were D if your whole body didn't
come back to life and you just said your
brain and you just said your memories
you were just inside a computer is that
existence even something you want to
live and when you sign the doc I
actually am hoping that we will find
some way to work around any obstacles so
maybe we can live forever and maybe you
want that yes I do and uh there'll be
more people living forever than than a
lot of people think today even I don't
know if I came back to life what I'd
even look like what the world would look
like maybe I wouldn't want to live in
that world would you want to live
forever if you could say
what do you want to live forever if you
could no no no I want live
forever no I don't want to live
forever but Naomi doesn't want to live
forever she's not scared of death but
she sees this as her one life her one
chance here on this Earth iomi spent her
entire life just trying to make the
biggest impact she can while she's here
I mean you have to really want to live
to live this long and Naomi is one of
the strongest people alive today to have
made it through all of these hardships
from picking cotton in the fields to
outliving all three of her children to
make it to almost 114 years old I don't
think our final philosophy here is body
freezing I think it's exactly what she
said Naomi do you
have do you have any advice any
[Music]
advice any advice you want to give
[Music]
people breaking
heart at least for a night know me her
final philosophy is to just make the
most of your time here hard work hard
work
