Summary

I want to live forever. Or at least for as long as I feel like living. So I called Dr. Steven Gundry.

Dr. Gundry is also the bestselling author of "The Longevity Paradox," "The Plant Paradox" & "The Plant Paradox Family Cookbook." And today I also have a special co-host, Dr. Dean Mitchell, who's a board-certified immunologist with valuable questions that will only help you get better and better at taking care of yourself longterm.
