#177: This is How You Age Well with Dr. Frank Lipman

When it comes to longevity, the goal isn’t just to live as long as possible. The true objective is to live as vibrantly and energetically as possible, for as long as possible. So how exactly do we do this? On today’s Broken Brain Podcast, our host Dhru talks to Dr. Frank Lipman, 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 and Total Renewal—and his newest book, The New Rules of Aging Well: A Simple Program for Immune Resilience, Strength, and Vitality.   In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Lipman talk about the cross-cultural differences in aging, and why we are so afraid of aging in the Western world. They discuss how we can optimize the function of our genes with simple tweaks to have a profound impact on how we age, and why fasting is so powerful when it comes to longevity and healthy aging. Dr. Lipman also shares supplements he recommends for longevity, and some promising anti-aging treatments.
