#202 - Enhancing longevity via functional medicine | Dr. Mark Hyman & Dr. Casey Means

The hallmarks of aging are various biomarkers that indicate advancing biological age, which leads to a decline in health and eventually to death. But we can boost longevity by understanding aging biomarkers and then taking actionable steps with nutrition, physical activity, and environment. Dr. Mark Hyman and Dr. Casey Means discuss the hallmarks of aging and the factors that are within our control to not only live longer but also to thrive.

Levels helps you see how food affects your health, empowering you with the tools needed to achieve health goals and improve healthspan. Levels Members gain access to the Levels app and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), providing real-time feedback on how diet and lifestyle choices impact your metabolic health.

Look for new shows every month on A Whole New Level, where we have in-depth conversations with thought leaders about metabolic health.
