Summary: <p>We often think of aging as synonymous with decline. We believe that having memory loss, becoming slow and less agile, experiencing joint pain and stiffness, increasing diseases, and need for medications are all viewed as ‘normal’ as we age. The truth is, becoming overweight, sick, and slow are NOT inevitable. </p><br><p>We need to reframe how we view aging. The current theory that aging is just a slow and painful decline until we die is outdated and archaic. Currently, our healthspans do not equal our lifespans. Your healthspan is how well you live, your lifespan is how long you live. So while it’s true that human bodies cannot live forever, there are proven scientific methods to extend our healthspan, and that’s really what matters.</p><br><p>On today’s <em>Broken Brain Podcast</em>, we are sharing episode 2 from our 8-part docu-series, the <em>Longevity Roadmap</em>, hosted by Dr. Mark Hyman.</p><br><p>In the <em>Longevity Roadmap</em>, you’ll learn all about the prevalent diseases of aging that decrease healthspan, how the conventional approach to these conditions is backwards, how to identify and treat the root cause of aging using the Functional Medicine approach, and more importantly, how to improve your healthspan to live a long, vibrant life.</p><br><p>In Episode 2, we’ll discuss the biggest killer of our time: cardiovascular disease.
