Functional nutrition and genetic testing, when used appropriately, can provide valuable insights for individualized treatment. Building a strong health foundation is essential before exploring advanced treatments or supplements.  Holistic health encompasses more than just physical symptoms. It involves understanding the interconnectedness of the body, considering the broader context of a person's life, and incorporating elements like joy, laughter, and physical expression for overall well-being.

Are you protecting your immune system as you age?   In this Longevity podcast episode, I am joined by Dr. Anurag Singh to discuss recent research that suggests Urolithin A, a compound derived from pomegranates and other foods, may help rejuvenate the aging immune system.    We dive into how supplementing with Urolithin A for just 4 weeks led to significant improvements in immune cell function and a reduction in biological age by an average of 2 years in middle-aged adults.

Are you getting enough deep sleep?   In this episode of the Longevity podcast, I am joined by Dr. Dan Cohen, a neurologist and sleep technology expert as he introduces a groundbreaking technology that could revolutionize how we approach sleep and stress management.    We discuss how this unique Soltec system differs from other sleep aids by actually supporting your brain's natural sleep cycles rather than just sedating you.
