How do we think about aging? What is longevity? Jason Prall is the creator of ‘The Human Longevity Project’ and the author of the book ‘Beyond Longevity’. Jason is also a repeat guest, so check out episode 292 if you’d like to hear his first interview with Dr. Jockers!
He’s interviewed centenarians (people who are 100 years or older) and visited ‘blue zone’ communities where people are aging well and is truly an expert in the field of longevity.
Today he and Dr. Jockers are chatting about sleep, light, and how that plays a crucial role in our mitochondrial health, aging, and longevity.
Learn whether we can slow aging and how to understand it as more than just the damaging effects of aging. How can we turn on cellular repair and slow down the rate at which we age? How much autophagy do we want? What is causing our unhealthy behaviors and what is driving our limiting beliefs around healthy aging?
The answers to these questions (and more) lie inside this truly absorbing episode of Functional Nutrition that speaks to our innate intelligence to heal ourselves and learn from nature. Please join us.
“We’re at a very interesting nexus. And I think how we think about aging and how we think about longevity is really, really important. There’s historical context for longevity and aging and for life itself as a cycle. It’s really important that we explore these things from a foundational principle.“
