195.5: Is Aging a Disease?

by Dr. Steven Gundry | Mar 1, 2022 | 0 comments

We’ve all dreamed about living a longer, healthier life – being there for our children, grandchildren, and if we’re lucky our great grandchildren which is exactly why we are revisiting one of our most popular episodes to date.

On this episode, I’m joined by none other than Harvard scientist and world-renowned longevity expert Dr. David Sinclair.

Dr. Sinclair and I discuss the most dangerous meal of the day, the benefits of “stressed out” food, and the cutting edge technology that could one day help ALL of us live healthy lives into our 100s — and beyond.

We even discuss the one food secret that all of the world’s longest-living populations share.

Believe me — this is an episode worth revisiting!
