Working with thousands of patients, Dr. Steven Gundry has discovered that the “diseases of aging” we most fear are not simply a function of age; rather, they are a byproduct of the way we have lived over the decades. In his book, The Longevity Paradox: How to Die Young at a Ripe Old Age, he maps out a new approach to aging well -- one that is based on supporting the health of the “oldest” parts of us: the microorganisms that live within our bodies. Listen as Dr. Gundry explains how you can take steps to stop the breakdown of your body's functions and work towards becoming younger from the inside-out.
