“#Biohacker Ari Rastegar claims to have body of a little kid<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Real-estate tycoon Ari Rastegar, who turned 39 last month, is blessed with boyish good looks, an adoring family and millions upon millions of dollars.<\/p>\n

He also claims he has the biological age of a 5-year-old.<\/p>\n

The real-life Peter Pan, included in the 2021 Power 100<\/a>, a list of the most powerful commercial real-estate players put out by the Commercial Observer on Monday, claims his rivals are left in the dust thanks to extreme, trendy practices such as stem-cell therapy and meditation inside a hyperbaric chamber.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always joke that, apart from my baby daughter, I\u2019m the youngest Rastegar,\u201d the fast-talking CEO told The Post. \u201cI think my lifestyle and health give me the competitive edge.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rastegar has visited a clinic in Tijuana, Mexico, three times over the past 18 months for stem-cell infusions, a controversial, scientifically unproven procedure not authorized in the US.<\/p>\n

The treatment, costing up to $7,000 a pop, involves extracting small amounts of blood and \u201cspinning\u201d it in a centrifuge to separate the red and white blood cells and the platelet-rich plasma. Then the concentrated substance, full of health-boosting platelets, is reintroduced into the body intravenously. A similar Food and Drug Administration-app<\/a>roved method is used to treat injuries such as damaged cartilage and some forms of cancer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey inject between 15 million and 100 million stem cells directly into the vein for overall health and wellness,\u201d explained Rastegar who, unlike some devotees, receives his own stem cells rather than those from the harvested umbilical cords of newborns. <\/p>\n

During his routine trip<\/a>s \u2014 which have been less frequent due to the pandemic \u2014 the medical tourist is escorted over the Mexican border by a private security guard. Soon afterward, he arrives safely at the \u201cbeautiful, very high-touch\u201d Tijuana facility.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s bish bash, get what you need in 15 minutes, and then you\u2019re back in the car,\u201d said Rastegar, who later recuperates in his luxury San Diego, Calif., hotel ahead of a flight home to his native Austin, Texas.<\/p>\n

He believes the benefits of stem cell treatment include improved sleep quality, better cardiovascular function and increased mental clarity.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m in the best shape of my life,\u201d said the former Wall Streeter, who had financial interests in Manhattan\u2019s Chelsea Hotel and the Surf Lodge in Montauk.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it\u2019s not a vanity or egotistical thing. I\u2019m in risk management and it\u2019s an investment in my health,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

As for Rastegar\u2019s biological age versus his real age, his recent low score was calculated following blood tests to measure the length of his telomeres. These specialized nucleoprotein structures act as caps on the end of chromosomes that protect DNA. It is now general<\/a>ly accepted that longer telomeres correspond to a younger biological age.<\/p>\n

Quantifying the cellular age of your body is particularly popular among so-called bio-hackers, health fanatics who commonly work in Silicon Valley. Such individuals were lampooned in the hit HBO series<\/a> of the same name, which aired from 2014 to 2019. <\/p>\n

Rastegar remains unabashed. He doesn\u2019t see himself as a \u201cnarcissist who wants to live forever.\u201d In fact, the dad with 9 percent body fat occasionally strays from his customary diet of cold water fish and vegetable smoothies washed down with 125 vitamin pills every day. \u201cI\u2019ll eat pizza with my kids on weekends and I love a good cheeseburger,\u201d he said. \u201cBut 90 percent of the time, I\u2019m living healthfully.\u201d<\/p>\n

His other notable habits include meditating for 70 minutes three times a week in the hyperbaric chamber. This practice of breathing almost pure oxygen in a confined space is designed to improve blood and tissue quality. The late Michael Jackson reportedly slept in a hyperbaric \u201ccoffin\u201d similar to the space used by Rastegar.<\/p>\n

Among the more conventional practices employed by the entrepreneur are near-daily workouts with a personal trainer and regularly wearing orange lens glasses to lower blue light intake from his cellphone.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, he keeps his mind focused by playing affirmative statements recorded by celebrity life coach Lauren Zander (her clients also include the actor Hugh Jackman) and watching a virtual vision board featuring images of different goals.<\/p>\n

A proud workaholic, Rastegar claims to survive on just four hours\u2019 sleep, much like former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who died in 2013 at the age of 87. <\/p>\n

\u201cMargaret was an unbelievable human being in so many ways,\u201d said Rastegar, an admirer. But, unlike Thatcher \u2014 at least as far as we know \u2014 he snoozes every night on a specialized mattress fitted with a \u201cchilly technology<\/a>\u201d machine. The effect is an \u201coptimal sleeping temperature\u201d of 68 degrees.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy wife likes it warmer so her side of the bed is set to 72 degrees,\u201d he said, referring to his wife of nine years, Kellie, 35.<\/p>\n

His family \u2014 including kids Victoria, 8, Kingston, 5, and Bella, 1 \u2014 are the key motivators behind his quest for longevity, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m following this lifestyle to be a better husband, father and investor,\u201d concluded the self-made man. \u201cI\u2019m not looking for any kind of health award.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe day I am no longer able to contribute and add value to my family, customers and humanity \u2014 whatever you want to call it \u2014 is the day I\u2019m ready to go.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
