It seems like everyone these days is suffering from low energy and chronic fatigue.

It's a radical new approach to diet and lifestyle that can transform your energy levels and your health forever.

My name is Dr. Steven Gundry, and I'm the best-selling author of the Plant Paradox series.

Welcome to The Dr. Gundry Podcast.

By now, you've heard me say it time and time again. Growing old does not have to mean your best days are behind you, and it doesn't mean your destined to experience nagging health issues.

Well, in my opinion, age really is just a number. It's the choices we make, and the way we live our lives that really impacts our health and longevity.

Now, in a moment, I'll talk with Marta Zoraska, a science journalist, an author of the new book, Growing Young.
