Why Our Neglected Lymph System Is A Key To Optimal Health with Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Gerald Lemole

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, BiOptimizers, and
InsideTracker. The lymphatic system is a critically foundational
system in helping us feel well and age better. It’s actually part
of both our circulatory and immune systems, responsible for fluid
regulation, cellular clean-up, detoxification, and more.  I’m
excited to talk more about this with Drs. Mehmet Oz and Gerald
Lemole. Dr. Oz has won ten Daytime Emmy Awards for The Dr. Oz Show
and is an Attending Physician at NY Presbyterian-Columbia Medical
Center. He is also the proud author of eight New York Times
bestsellers including his most recent, Food Can Fix It.   Dr.
Gerald Lemole is a board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon and
integrative physician. He served as chief of cardiovascular surgery
at Christiana Care Health Services from 1986 to 2006 and
subsequently served as the Medical Director for the Center of
Integrative Health at the Preventive Medicine and Rehabilitation
Institute. His latest book Lymph & Longevity: The Untapped
Secret to Health was just released. This episode is brought to you
