Summary

Age is not the definitive factor it’s made out to be when it comes to our health. We can use our age as a baseline for tracking our health and longevity, but it isn’t stagnant. For example, certain types of testing can help us compare our biological age to our calendar age in order to tinker with our wellness routine and achieve the milestones we’re after. With the right steps, we can slow down and even sometimes reverse the aging process.

When it comes to our biological age, or the measure of how well our body is actually functioning for whatever life stage we are in, there are many things that impact it. Diet, lifestyle patterns like exercise and sleep, and stress are all involved in forming our biological age, along with many other factors like blood sugar, inflammation, and genetics. This week on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I’m joined by Dr. David Sinclair to explore the topic of longevity and anti-aging and how he reduced his own internal age by more than 20 years. Dr. Sinclair is a professor in the Department of Genetics and co-director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for the Biology of Aging at Harvard Medical School, where he and his colleagues study longevity, aging, and how to slow its effects.

0:00.0	Coming up on this week's episode of the doctor's pharmacy.
0:02.8	Aging is something that we can tackle just as we have been tackling cancer and heart disease.
0:11.1	Hi everyone, it's Dr. Mark Heimann.
0:13.2	Traveling between jobs in Ohio, Massachusetts and New York, I'm always being asked,
0:18.0	how do I get enough high quality protein in my diet and where do I find it?
0:22.8	Well, with all that can eventually raise the animal products available at the supermarket,
0:26.4	it's kind of hard to find meat that actually supports your health goals.
0:30.3	Instead of taking you away from them, being filled with antibiotics and hormones and also
0:35.1	it's an unnatural stuff. I'm not really why I love grass fed, grass-finished ground beef from butcher
0:42.3	box. Now ground beef is probably the most dynamic protein out there and I love how quickly it
0:46.4	makes up a healthy meal without a lot of fuss or mousse. Grass fed beef is also better for the
0:51.7	environment and actually can help reverse climate change so you can feel better about eating it.
0:57.7	Now with butcher box, I get 100% grass fed, grass-finished beef delivered right to my doorstep
1:04.8	no matter where I am. And they also offer free range or gigantic chicken, wild caught or
1:09.5	laskins salmon, which are also part of my weekly meals too. Now grass fed beef is the first
1:14.5	protein I recommend for people trying to get more comfortable in the kitchen because you can just
1:18.8	throw it in a pan with some sea salt herbs, spices and make it great in the off-use ground beef.
1:23.7	It's super easy. My favorite way to cook grass fed ground beef is by sauteing with lots of
1:28.7	garlic and onions, peppers, cumin, chili powder, oregano, and then tossing over a bed of greens for
1:35.5	a super easy homemade taco salad. Now I mean just talking about this makes me hungry. Now if you're
1:40.8	looking for a way to get higher quality protein in your own diet, be sure to check out the grass fed
1:47.1	from butcher box. Now along with all their other humane-lion raised meats that are never
