074: Actress claims: Cancer was a GIFT
Aging is often thought of as a losing battle — but it doesn’t have to be.
On this episode of the Dr. Gundry Podcast, I speak with actress, author, and health spokesperson Suzanne Somers.
As 73 years young, Suzanne — who you probably remember from Three’s Company, Step by Step, and other television series — defies virtually every stereotype about getting older.
In her latest book, A New Way to Age, she shares her insights on how to live a healthy, happy life — no matter how old you are.
Stay tuned to hear us discuss how to stop aging like your parents, and start aging with energy, vibrancy, confidence… and even a strong libido!
