Great stuff
Love it
Best podcast on longevity and health!
I listened to this after a visit w my 91 year old aunt who is committed to walking, yoga and nutrition (a retired nurse). She and I are both enjoying the podcast now. Although we don’t understand some of the terminology, (we’d rather that be the case than lame & trite simplicity) we have learned a lot and both feel inspired to have “life in our years!” We have not heard such evidence-based and credible information that everyone can benefit from. Thank you and please continue your great work bringing knowledgeable guests for distribution to those interested in healthy lives.
Mostly helpful
As with so many health related podcasts, these guests get really deep in the weeds really quickly. For the smart layperson, this is not helpful. The recent podcast on protein was supposed to be about how to add more protein to ones diet. That is not what the conversation ended up being. It was about high level athletes and when they should eat their protein. Would have been more helpful to actually discuss the topic of the title. Generally helpful but needs some work.
