We're unpacking longevity in this episode and WOW do I have insights to share! Joined by the brilliant Jason Prall, we explore the true essence of what it means to live longer versus living better. We’re talking blue zones, the accidental biohackers of our world, who have unplanned yet life-extending practices like adhering to natural circadian rhythms and intermittent fasting. We also tackle the fragile state of modern generations, exploring how we can cultivate resilience and recover from the missteps of our ancestors. And let me tell you, Jason’s perspective is impressive! From drinking from lead hoses in his youth to advocating for the revival of indigenous healing practices, his journey towards understanding aging is nothing short of incredible. Curious about how hormones play into this area? We've peeled back the layers on everything from mitochondrial function to the intriguing theories of antagonistic pleiotropy. Plus, we've got the Ageless Energy Summit on the docket – your ticket to actionable insights on gut health, sleep, and hormones. Tune in and get ready to transform your approach to aging, because living like a badass isn’t just a goal, it’s our mission.
