Summary

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, BiOptimizers, and InsideTracker. The lymphatic system is a critically foundational system in helping us feel well and age better. It’s actually part of both our circulatory and immune systems, responsible for fluid regulation, cellular clean-up, detoxification, and more. I’m excited to talk more about this with Drs. Mehmet Oz and Gerald Lemole. Dr. Oz has won ten Daytime Emmy® Awards for The Dr. Oz Show and is an Attending Physician at NY Presbyterian-Columbia Medical Center. He is also the proud author of eight New York Times bestsellers including his most recent, Food Can Fix It. Dr. Gerald Lemole is a board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon and integrative physician.
