She says she reversed 20 years of biological aging by testing gene therapy on her own body before anyone else. In this episode of The 200 Year Life Project, Gary Leland sits down with Elizabeth Parrish, founder and CEO of BioViva, the first person to undergo gene therapy specifically aimed at reversing aging.

Gary, 71 and dead serious about reaching 200, talks with Parrish about how telomere and myostatin gene therapy works, what her published telomere data showed, why these therapies are still done outside the US, and how she believes affordable gene therapy could change human lifespan and healthspan.

They also get into longevity escape velocity, the "catch the wave" theory of riding longevity breakthroughs, and the simple habits that move the needle most. Everything Parrish describes about her own results and BioViva's therapies is her account and her company's claims, shared for discussion.

Kathy and I are 71 and we just spent days in a room full of doctors and scientists who believe aging is optional. This is what happened at the DaVinci50 Longevity Mastermind in Sundance, Utah, and the two decisions it pushed us to make on our way to 200. We didn't know what to expect at our very first mastermind. We left as members and already booked our full genome sequencing.

What Happened When I Drank & Bathed in Lourdes Holy Water . At 71 years old, I'm dead serious about reaching 200 in peak health. Most episodes of The 200 Year Life Project are all about science, sleep, saunas, supplements, and exercise… but this one is different. Kathy and I traveled to Lourdes, France to experience the world-famous holy spring water that's been associated with miraculous healings for over 165 years. In this episode: The full story of Saint Bernadette and the 1858 apparitions What it's really like to take the total immersion bath (including the cold shock and powerful feeling afterward) Why thousands of blue wheelchairs line the sanctuary every day. How I brought 2 gallons home and added it to my daily morning protocol. My exact method: 1 eyedropper of Lourdes water in my coffee every single day Whether you're religious, skeptical, or somewhere in between — this is a fascinating look at faith, placebo, unexplained healing, and one man's willingness to explore every possible edge on the journey to 200. Even if you never plan to visit Lourdes, this episode will make you think differently about mind-body-spirit connection in longevity.

Welcome to The 200 Year Life Project – the no-nonsense journey to becoming the first person to live to 200.

I'm Gary Leland, 71 years old, and I'm dead serious about this goal. I'm attacking aging with every proven weapon I can find… but one video can't cover it all (that would be a 12-hour audiobook). So we're doing it smart: one weapon per episode.

Today's weapon? The undisputed king. The absolute boss. The single biggest lever in the entire longevity game: sleep. If you screw this up, I don't care how many supplements, saunas, ice baths, or red-light sessions you do — it's all massively diluted. Nail 7–9 hours of high-quality, consistent sleep and everything else gets a 5× multiplier. I'm dead serious.

My entire sleep protocol is public right here: GaryLeland.com/data Steal it. Copy it. Tweak it. Then try to beat me to 200. I dare you.

In this episode I break down:Why sleep is the biggest cheat code in longevity (with hard data) The brutal cost of short sleep (testosterone crash, 70% drop in natural killer cells, 20–40% higher inflammation, tripled depression risk, Alzheimer's garbage buildup, 35–50% higher cardiovascular risk, etc.)

My non-negotiable nightly sleep rules (no exceptions) Exact gear & environment setup (68°F bedroom, grounding sheets, TrueDark glasses, blackout mask, ear plugs, hot shower timing) My supplement stack & precise timing (Magnesium Glycinate, Melatonin, Glycine, L-Theanine) Full 10 p.m. bedtime timeline recap This is the foundation. Miss it and the whole house falls.

Implement tonight. Track how fast your energy, mood, recovery, and life upgrade — then drop your results in the comments.

(Disclaimer: I'm not a doctor and this is not medical advice. Always consult your physician before changing sleep habits or starting supplements.)Like, subscribe & hit the bell — new longevity weapons drop regularly on the road to 200.

I'm Gary Leland.

Let's go.

I'm Gary Leland, 70 years old, and DEAD serious about becoming the first human to reach 200 in peak health. Welcome to The 200 Year Life Project – the ultimate real-world longevity experiment. I'm tweaking everything in my daily routine to crush aging. One episode could be a 12-hour audiobook, so we're breaking it down weapon by weapon. Today: my daily Monster Power Shake – the nutrient nuclear bomb my wife Kathy blends for us every single day. This thing is so loaded it should come with a warning label. Full recipe is public → https://garyleland.com/data

Go steal it, copy it, tweak it… then try to beat me to 200!

You'll need a full-size blender — this beast fills the pitcher. Here's exactly what's in it + why each ingredient is there:

1 cup Arugula – rocket-fuel nitrates → nitric oxide → drops blood pressure + better blood flow

½ Avocado – heart-healthy fats, potassium, soluble fiber; keeps blood sugar flat & you full for hours ⅓ cup Bean Sprouts – live enzymes + insane vitamin C

6 pellets Black Pepper – boosts curcumin absorption by 2000%, blocks new fat cells, sharpens memory ½ cup Frozen Blueberries – brain protection, DNA repair, better insulin sensitivity

⅓ cup Chia Seeds – soluble fiber + omega-3s + protein; turns into gut-loving gel 6g Pure Cocoa Powder – flavanols crush inflammation, skyrocket nitric oxide, feed good bacteria, natural mood rocket

20g Collagen – rebuilds joints, skin, gut lining, arteries (studies show less pain + stronger bones in 8–12 weeks)

1.5 inch Fresh Ginger Root – gingerol beats ibuprofen for inflammation, settles stomach, boosts testosterone

¼ cup Kale – K1/K2 combo detoxes cells + keeps calcium out of arteries ⅓ cup Protein Powder – triggers muscle protein synthesis so I don't become a fragile old man

2 Tbsp Spirulina Powder – 70% protein, highest chlorophyll on Earth → anti-cancer + anti-inflammatory powerhouse

½ cup Frozen Strawberries – ellagic acid + vitamin C; low-sugar sweetness, skin & DNA protection

1.5 inch Fresh Turmeric – protects brain, kills joint pain ⅓ cup Spinach – shields brain, sharpens cognition, fights inflammation for better joints & longevity Then: Ice + Water → blend into a thick, delicious smoothie.

Bottom line: One pitcher = a nuclear strike on inflammation, oxidation, gut damage, and brain aging. It's basically a longevity multivitamin you drink through a straw. Zero cooking. Tastes like chocolate-berry dessert. Keeps me lean, strong, and sharp at 71.

SUMMARY My Daily Power Shake packs: arugula, spinach, kale, avocado, bean sprouts, frozen blueberries & strawberries, ginger, turmeric, black pepper, chia, cocoa, collagen, protein powder, spirulina. Delivers massive nitrates, soluble fiber, sky-high antioxidants, steroid-level curcumin absorption, complete protein for muscle, and a literal pharmacy of vitamins/minerals. Result: inflammation crushed, BP down, gut healed, brain protected, joints rebuilt.

Welcome to The 200 Year Life Project – this is the ultimate longevity journey

I'm making so many tweaks on this ride that one episode would be a 12-hour audiobook, so I'm breaking it down one weapon at a time. Today I Am talking about my morning coffee. My coffee protocol is listed in my public database over at GaryLeland.com/data. Before I walk you through my exact four-cup morning coffee protocol, we gotta talk coffee itself, because most people are accidentally poisoning themselves every single morning. Problem: plastic pods. If you're still using those one-time-use pods, stop. You're shooting 185–195 °F water through plastic. That leaches microplastics and nano-plastics straight into your brew. Second problem: mold Pods also sit in warehouses for 6–18 months. This makes a perfect mold factory. The U.S. has basically zero legal limits on molds in coffee. When Europe or Japan rejects a container for being too moldy, guess where it gets rerouted? Straight to America. Solution: Buy third-party certified organic beans, single-origin or high-end blends that are lab-tested for mold, myco toxins, pesticides, and heavy metals. Grind them fresh every morning. Bonus: go unfiltered (French press, espresso, pour-over with metal mesh) because the good oils that come from coffee protect your liver and raise HDL, and paper filters strip those out. Now let's move to my morning coffee routine. I drink 4 cups of coffee every morning. I love coffee and realize 4 cups may be too much coffee for some of you, but it seems to work fine for me. In my first cup of coffee I add cocoa. Throwing 1 to 2 teaspoons of 100% pure unsweetened cocoa powder into my morning coffee is one of my favorite longevity hacks. I am not talking about the sugary hot-chocolate mix. I'm talking real cocoa — the stuff that's basically a superfood in powder form. Here's the science-backed payoff when you stir Cocoa into your brew every day: Cocoa beats green tea and red wine with up to 4× the antioxidants. These flavanols drop systemic inflammation, improve arterial flexibility, and cut cardiovascular risk. Cocoa flavanols crank Nitric Oxide production which means better blood flow to brain and muscles. Studies show improved cognitive scores and even 2-3% boost in exercise performance. The fiber and polyphenols are prebiotic gold. Coffee plus real cocoa equals one of the highest nitric-oxide, polyphenol combos you can drink daily. In my second cup of the morning I add 15 grams of Creatine. Creatine is the most researched supplement on earth, here's what dropping creatine monohydrate into your morning coffee actually does. Creatine crosses the blood-brain barrier. Meta-analyses show 5 to 20 grams a day improves memory, processing speed, and reduces mental fatigue especially if you're 50 plus. I also add a pinch of sea salt and here's exactly why salt and creatine is a longevity cheat code: Sodium triggers the creatine transporter on muscle and brain cells. Studies show sodium co-transport increases creatine uptake by 20–60% without needing carbs or an insulin spike. Salt literally opens the door wider for creatine to get in. In my 3rd cup I add MCT Oil and Ghee turning my morning coffee into a 4-cylinder longevity rocket. This is one of my non-negotiables at 70. Here's exactly what happens when you drop 1–2 tbsp of each into your brew: MCTs convert to ketones in 10–15 minutes, even if you're not full keto. Studies on older adults show measurable improvement in working memory and processing speed within an hour. At 70 this is like pouring rocket fuel straight into my brain before I even stand up. Butyric acid in ghee and lauric acid in MCTs are anti microbial and feed good gut bugs. Ghee's vitamin K2 especially grass-fed shuttles calcium into bones and teeth and out of arteries. Also provides cholesterol substrate for testosterone and vitamin D synthesis. Now cup 4. This is an easy one for you. I just drink a cup of black coffee. I love black coffee so I finish up with a cup the way I love it. SUMMARY Ditch plastic pods and moldy conventional beans → switch to freshly ground, third-party-tested organic beans Metal filter to keep the good oils. Then I drink four cups, each supercharged: Cup 1. Cocoa (massive flavanols + nitric oxide) Cup 2. 10 grams creatine and a pinch of sea salt (brain power, muscle, faster uptake). Cup 3. MCT oil + grass-fed ghee (instant ketones, gut repair, steady energy) Cup 4. Straight black (because it still tastes amazing) Clean beans, zero toxins, four targeted longevity hits first thing every morning. Simple, cheap, and ruthless for living to 200.

I am just a boomer enjoying life. Check with your doctor before following any of my personal protocols.

I'm Gary Leland, 70 years old, and I'm dead serious about becoming the first human to reach 200.

Welcome to The 200 Year Life Project — my no-BS journey to extreme longevity, one science-backed tweak at a time.

In this kickoff episode, I reveal the VERY FIRST thing I do every morning (literally within minutes of opening my eyes): my Morning Protocol. It's simple, powerful, and fully detailed in my public database at https://GaryLeland.com/data — go copy it, tweak it, and try to beat me to 200!

Step 1: The ACV Power Shot

I start (and end) every day with 2 tablespoons of raw apple cider vinegar with the mother — diluted, of course, because straight ACV is like battery acid and brutal on tooth enamel (always rinse your mouth after!).

My hack makes it taste way better while supercharging the benefits: Brew half a cup of chamomile tea (anti-inflammatory, blood sugar stabilizer) Sweeten with one packet of clean stevia (zero calories, no junk) Add two shakes of cinnamon (polyphenol powerhouse that beats blueberries for fighting inflammation and boosting memory)

Finish with fresh-ground black pepper (piperine inhibits fat cell formation, sharpens memory, and may slow aging)

This one drink hits gut health (prebiotic power), blood sugar control, inflammation reduction, brain protection, and fat-burning — all before breakfast. Science backs ACV for fullness, lower calorie intake, metabolism support, heart health factors, and feeding good gut bacteria.

Step 2: Super Hydration

Follow with a large glass of water spiked with fresh-squeezed lemon (potassium, magnesium, better cellular absorption, primes digestion) + electrolytes. After 6–8 hours of sleep dehydration, this reboots fluid balance, boosts blood volume, fires up organs, sharpens alertness (better than coffee alone), and flushes toxins via kidneys and liver. Electrolytes ensure the water actually stays in your cells instead of passing through.

Pro tip: Prep everything the night before so it's grab-and-go when you wake up.

Quick Summary ACV tea bomb: Gut, blood sugar, inflammation, brain, fat control Lemon-electrolyte water: Instant rehydration, metabolism kick, detox support Total time: Under 2 minutes. Boom — day starts on rails.
