![]() I had the help of mentors who had walked this path before me. Now, what I want you guys to know is that: I didn’t do it alone.

I’d try talking myself out of daily fatigue, “Suck it up, Mazen! This is what it’s supposed to feel like when you are doing it right.” The money was starting to flow, and I was buying nicer cars and fancier clothes for me and my wife. The Go Go Go Culture of today lionizes the CEO who sleeps in his office. There were aspects of The Grind that felt glorious.

By making positive choices for living The Maximal Life, we have the power to activate disease-preventing genes and keep the disease-promoting genes lying dormant for longer. This is really exciting stuff, guys.Įpigenetics proves that we are in fact, not tied down and destined to live out the same disease span as our descendants. These recent classifications (disease span and healthspan) came along after the recent discovery of Epigenetics, which is being proclaimed by the scientific community as the most important discovery since DNA. Your chronological age maybe 55, but depending on your lifestyle choices, you could be in a healthspan more relative to that of a 40-year-old. Diseasespan defines the number of years spent with a noticeable decline in health. This new way of determining age is broken into two categories: Diseasespan and Healthspan.
