S1 E2: Eating for Longevity

Now that we understand the root causes of aging, how do we actually address the hallmarks of aging? What are the levers we have to optimize our health and longevity? Because medicine has it all wrong. We don't need to treat disease. When we focus on fostering optimal health, disease goes away as a side effect.
