How Balanced Hormones Lead To Healthy Aging

This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker and Athletic
Greens. Hormones are like a symphony, with each one acting as a
specialized instrument to keep our bodies in tune. But as we age,
those instruments start to get a little rusty. Small changes over
time create a variety of imbalances, until one day we wake up
realizing we’re flat and out of tune. This leads to things like
menopausal symptoms in women, hair loss and belly fat in men,
thyroid dysfunction, bone loss, and so much more.  That’s why
it’s never too early, or too late, to start optimizing hormonal
balance. Today we’re featuring an episode of the Longevity Roadmap
docu-series that takes a deep dive into hormones and how they play
a critical role in how well, or poorly, we age. I was joined by two
of my colleagues from The UltraWellness Center, Dr. Elizabeth Boham
and Dr. Todd LePine.  To get all of my longevity tips, sign up
