It's not quite that situation, thankfully. But again, like you said, it's not like I've been handed my resignation and this is what it is-and it's up in a few months. I don't think they could have grasped the concept or have the understanding, so no. Did you tell them about it, or do you figure that’s something to discuss when they are older? I was offered a version of the episode where we didn't talk about it, and for the exact reason you are mentioning now, I thought, “No, look, if this is a motivator for people to take better care of themselves and also understand that there are steps you can take-then fantastic.” My concern was I just didn't want to manipulate it and overdramatize it, and make it into some sort of hokey grab at empathy or whatever for entertainment. It's all kind of the same tools that need to be applied in a consistent way.īy being public with it, does it tell other people, “These tests are out there. When you have preposition to cardiovascular heart disease, cancer, anything-it's all about sleep management, stress management, nutrition, movement, fitness. I now have to work on this more.” If you look at Alzheimer's prevention, the benefit of preventative steps is that it affects the rest of your life. Like everything in the show I went, “Okay, great. Was it comforting to know? To be able to prepare and try to counter it?
It's just the way I am, my family, there's a sense of humor. It was confronting initially, but very quickly it became a self deprecating sort of joke, if you will. Your brothers too? I assume everybody you’re closely related to has to be like, “Is this something I have too?” You said your parents and you had questions. For me, the positive of it was like, “Right, if I didn't know this information, I wouldn't have made the changes I made.” I just wasn't aware of any of it, so now I feel thankful that I have in my arsenal the sort of tools to best prepare myself and prevent things happening in that way. That's where I worked with the death doula and people who worked in palliative care and end of life care and then spoke to a number of people who were at the end of their days or coming upon them-even younger people that were diagnosed with cancer and didn't have long to live.
#Time out movie series#
The final episode of the series is not about extending life, but facing death. Then to all of a sudden be told some big indicators are actually pointing to this as the route which is going to happen, the reality of it sinks in. We all have this belief that we'll figure it out. Most of us, we like to avoid speaking about death in the hope that we'll somehow avoid it. It's a placebo effect-or it's taking place! Īnytime you forget something it’s like, “Oh no, is this it?” Since you told me that, I feel like my memory's getting worse. Yeah, it's like one in a thousand people…or one in 10,000. Attia says it makes you eight to 10 times more likely to develop Alzheimer’s in the future. Ten years ago, I think it was more thought of as determinant. It's not a pre-deterministic gene, but it is a strong indication. It was a really good catalyst to dive into everything I needed to be doing in either the prevention front or the management front or however you want to classify it. The show, which initially was an exploration of longevity and, of course, should be fun, became even more relevant and important for me, even more poignant than I ever thought it would be. This isn’t what you expected when you started? I was like, “Am I supposed to be worried? Is this concerning?” I wish I'd had a more intense follow-up with it because I didn't really know what to think. I had a bunch of questions, but no one answered them.
They were like, “What was that about?” And I told them, and then they had a bunch of questions. I hung up the phone and my parents were there, at the time. It was a pretty brief conversation, all things considered. We need to have an off-side conversation and see if he even wants this to be in the show.” It was pretty shocking because he called me up and he told me. And Peter Attia, who is the longevity doctor in that episode, and overseeing a lot of the show, called Darren and said, “I don't want to tell him this on camera. Chris Hemsworth: Yeah, they took all my bloodwork and did a bunch of tests and the plan was to on-camera tell me all the results and then talk about how you can improve this and that.
