In this episode, Dr. David Jockers is joined by his longtime friend Dr. Josh Axe, co-founder and chief visionary officer of Ancient Nutrition, founder of draxe.com, and founder of The Health Institute, for a deep dive into cellular longevity.
You will learn why some organs age faster than others, what's really happening inside your cell membranes and mitochondria as you get older, and which foods, from super berries and pomegranates to organ meats, healthy fats, fermented foods, and longevity mushrooms, do the most to slow that process down.
Dr. Axe and Dr. Jockers also break down his top longevity supplements, including vitamin D, soil-based probiotics, omega-3s, magnesium, and NAD/NMN, why quality matters so much more than quantity when it comes to supplements, and the surprising role of the gut microbiome, bee products, and daily herbal tea in living a longer, more vibrant life.
