The Science Of Eating For Longevity with Dr. Jeffrey Bland

This episode is brought to you by Sunlighten, BiOptimizers,
AirDoctor, and Athletic Greens. Humans are a reflection of our
environments and what we consume. When it comes to extending our
health span—the number of healthy years we exist on this planet—it
is critical to pay attention to what we consume, and that means
paying attention to what our food consumes. I’m excited to sit down
with my good friend, Dr. Jeff Bland, to discuss exciting new
research from his recent clinical trial on the impact of
phytochemicals on immune system aging and how to utilize the power
of nature’s anti-aging wisdom through food.   Dr. Bland
is the founder of Big Bold Health. Through Big Bold Health, Dr.
Bland is advocating for the power of Immuno-Rejuvenation to enhance
immunity at a global level, often through the rediscovery of
ancient food crops and superfoods. Dr. Bland and his wife, Susan,
founded The Institute for Functional Medicine in 1991, and the
Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute in 2012. Dr. Bland is the
author of The Disease Delusion: Conquering the Causes of Chronic
Illness for a Healthier, Longer, and Happier Life, as well as
countless additional books and research papers. This episode is
