Summary
This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, ButcherBox, and InsideTracker.
In Western culture, we’ve gained a negative view of aging. But in other cultures around the world, aging is celebrated and embraced. That’s because we define difficult symptoms like aches and pains, cognitive decline, and so many others as “aging” when they’re actually signs of dis-ease that can be prevented and often even reversed. Fortunately, there is much we can do to change the trajectory of aging starting at a young age, or at any age.
In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. David Sinclair, Dr. Frank Lipman, and Dan Buettner about all the ways to age better, from supplements to support mitochondria, to increasing muscle, to cultivating community, and more.
Dr. David Sinclair is a professor in the Department of Genetics and codirector of the Paul F. Glenn Center for Biology of Aging Research at Harvard Medical School, where he and his colleagues study longevity, aging, and how to slow its effects.
Dr. Frank Lipman is recognized as a vocal pioneer of integrative and Functional Medicine (or what he calls “Good Medicine”). Dr. Lipman is the founder of Eleven Eleven Wellness Center and the Chief Medical Officer at The Well. He is a sought-after international speaker and the bestselling author of six books: How to Be Well, The New Health Rules, Young & Slim for Life, Revive, Total Renewal, and his newest book, The New Rules of Aging Well: A Simple Program for Immune Resilience, Strength, and Vitality.
Dan Buettner is an explorer, National Geographic Fellow, award-winning journalist and producer, and New York Times bestselling author. He discovered the five places in the world—dubbed Blue Zones—where people live the longest, healthiest lives.

| 0:03.3 | We're in a remarkable time for aging. Now we're in a phase where the question is, |
| 0:07.2 | what are the right combinations of diet, exercise, food, supplements? |
| 0:13.6 | Hey everyone, it's Dr. Mark. One of the most important tools I have for helping |
| 0:17.2 | my patients optimize their health is testing. And that is why I love what ROOPB |
| 0:21.3 | Health is doing. Functional medicine testing can require placing orders with lots of |
| 0:25.3 | different labs and it can kind of get really complicated for doctors and their patients to |
| 0:30.2 | easily access results and keep track of everything. But ROOPB Health has totally |
| 0:34.5 | streamlined that process. Looking at hormones, organic acids, nutrient levels, inflammatory |
| 0:39.6 | factors, gut bacteria, and so many other internal variables can help us find the most effective |
| 0:44.8 | path to health and healing. I'm really excited about that now and I can finally take advantage of |
| 0:49.8 | these tests without the hassle of the confusion of going through so many multiple labs. |

| 1:03.9 | and more. It's 90% faster letting you simplify the process of getting you the functional tests |
| 1:10.4 | that you need and giving you more time to focus on your patients. This is really a much |
| 1:15.2 | needed option in the functional medicine space and it means better service for you and your patients. |

| 1:24.0 | that's R-U-P-A-Health.com. I'm always being asked how I get enough high quality protein into my |
| 1:29.4 | diet and where to find it. With all of the conventionally raised animal products flooding the market, |
| 1:33.8 | it can be hard to find meat that actually supports your health goals instead of making you |
