Summary

What if you could prevent ageing or even reverse it? Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests. Today’s clip is from episode 208 of the podcast with one of the world’s leading scientific authorities on ageing - biologist and Harvard professor, David Sinclair. The key to staying young, he explains, is inducing hormesis, a state of survival in our bodies, and, in this clip, he describes some simple habits that can help to switch on our bodies’ longevity genes. CAUTION: This podcast discusses fasting and its advice may not be suitable for anyone with an eating disorder.
