Why We Grow Old And How To Age Well

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, ButcherBox, and
InsideTracker. In Western culture, we’ve gained a negative view of
aging. But in other cultures around the world, aging is celebrated
and embraced. That’s because we define difficult symptoms like
aches and pains, cognitive decline, and so many others as “aging”
when they’re actually signs of dis-ease that can be prevented and
often even reversed. Fortunately, there is much we can do to change
the trajectory of aging starting at a young age, or at any
age.  In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. David Sinclair, Dr.
Frank Lipman, and Dan Buettner about all the ways to age better,
from supplements to support mitochondria, to increasing muscle, to
cultivating community, and more. Dr. David Sinclair is a professor
in the Department of Genetics and codirector of the Paul F. Glenn
Center for Biology of Aging Research at Harvard Medical School,
where he and his colleagues study longevity, aging, and how to slow
its effects. Dr. Frank Lipman is recognized as a vocal pioneer of
integrative and Functional Medicine (or what he calls “Good
Medicine”). Dr. Lipman is the founder of Eleven Eleven Wellness
Center and the Chief Medical Officer at The Well. He is a
sought-after international speaker and the bestselling author of
six books: How to Be Well, The New Health Rules, Young & Slim
for Life, Revive, Total Renewal, and his newest book, The New Rules
of Aging Well: A Simple Program for Immune Resilience, Strength,
and Vitality.⁣ Dan Buettner is an explorer, National Geographic
Fellow, award-winning journalist and producer, and New York Times
bestselling author. He discovered the five places in the
world—dubbed Blue Zones—where people live the longest, healthiest
lives. This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, ButcherBox,
