Recently I posted a question to my readers and listeners on Substack and social media: what health advice would you give to your younger self?

The responses I got were so thoughtful, so loving and compassionate, I thought they deserved their own podcast episode.

Even though these bits of wisdom are intended for an imagined younger self, you can start practicing them at any age (well…most of them anyway). No matter what your age, I hope some of this advice is meaningful for you.
