Nutrition, Chronic Disease, and Health Span: My Conversation with Dr. Akash Sehgal | Episode 8

Today's episode is my conversation with Dr. Akash Sehgal. Dr. Sehgal invited me to be a guest on his podcast "Dr. Washbrains" which covers a variety of topics related to health and chronic disease. In my appearance on his show, he wanted to know about nutritional tools we can use to have better health and aging. we discussed a variety of topics including, antioxidants, protein intake, micronutrients, and the gut microbiome. Unfortunately, due to a technical error on my part, I lost my half of the video for this podcast, so Dr. Sehgal adapted this into an audio-only podcast. Dr. Sehgal was a terrific host, and I hope you will find value in our conversation.
