How And Why We Age

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and ButcherBox.
Exciting discoveries emerging from the field of aging research are
pointing to a radically new approach to how we deal with getting
older. Science is getting to the root cause of why aging is often
accompanied by a decline in function and decrepitude. If we
understand the why—the root causes and the changes they trigger in
our biology, in our interconnected web of molecules and cells and
tissues—then we can transform our health and well-being and extend
our lives, both our healthspan and our life span.  In today’s
episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I discuss how and
why we age. What I’ve discovered has blown my mind and changed the
way I approach my own health and the health of my patients. I’ve
compiled it all into a new book called Young Forever, which comes
out on February 21, 2023. Learn more and preorder the book at
