Episode 277: Aging Gracefully Part 1

Are you starting to worry about signs of aging? Want to know what you can do to stay young in body and mind? Looking for solutions to support brain health, cognitive clarity, muscle loss and more? Tune in to part one of our two part podcast series on aging gracefully! While we can’t turn back the clock or outrun aging altogether, there are some simple diet and lifestyle tweaks that we can make to slow down the process and extend the number of healthy years!  

In this episode, we cover signs of early aging from joint pain to wrinkles to insomnia and make the case for an anti-inflammatory diet, abundant antioxidants, and a low carb lifestyle to feeling your best as the years tick by. Learn what foods can negatively impact your telomeres (the caps on our DNA that dictate aging), how keto can be incredibly supportive of cognitive function and longevity, and how exercise can help slow the clock.
