    Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity with Bill Gifford

    In our never-ending quest for the fountain of youth, people will try all sorts of gimmicks and products that promise eternal vitality and radiance. However, true longevity isn't about chasing fads - it's about understanding the science of how our bodies age and making lifestyle choices that promote healthspan as well as lifespan. My guest today is Bill Gifford, an author who has dedicated years to researching this fascinating topic.  Bill has teamed up with Dr. Peter Attia to author the runaway hit called 'Outlive: The Science & Art of Longevity' - a manifesto that has sold over a million copies by redefining how we approach healthcare and pursue wellness over merely treating diseases." One of the book's central theses is that "The way we approach healthcare must undergo a fundamental shift from Medicine 2.0 to what they’re calling Medicine 3.0. Medicine 2.0 is about diagnosing and treating illnesses, while Medicine 3.0 is about preventing disease and promoting wellness, ultimately extending not only lifespan, but also healthspan.  Get ready to take some notes, because today’s conversation will be a roadmap for taking charge of your longevity.

    Crack The Health Span Code | Dr. Camillo Ricordi

    Here's a sobering fact: more than 75% of the population in America over the age of 65 has not one, but two degenerative diseases. The rise in chronic illness is affecting nearly every family in America. However, today's guest challenges the idea that we must accept this as a natural part of the aging process. Dr. Camillo Ricordi, a distinguished scientist, author, and pioneer in the field of regenerative medicine, joins us. Throughout his remarkable career, he has made countless contributions to advancing cellular and organ transplantation, particularly in the treatment of diabetes, thereby revolutionizing medical practices and offering hope to countless patients worldwide. Having been born and raised in northern Italy, his professional journey and research endeavours have led him to several universities and medical centers across the U.S., and eventually to Florida, where he founded the Diabetes Research Institute at the University of Miami. Now, with his groundbreaking new book, "The Health Span Code - How to Reverse Your Biological Age", Dr. Ricordi shifts his focus towards addressing one of the most severe pandemics we face: an unhealthy lifespan. The traditional notion of life expectancy is outdated. What we need to focus on is the quality of life we can expect as we age. His book delves into the captivating science behind biological aging and the factors that can accelerate it. A significant portion of our discussion will center around a major contributor to this decline: the body's inability to manage sugar effectively, which sets us on the path of metabolic dysfunction, often leading to diabetes. Uncontrolled sugar intake can have a detrimental effect on a healthy lifespan. However, there are proactive steps we can all take to slow down, and even reverse, this process. I have known Camillo for nearly 40 years, as we are connected through marriage. It is both a pleasure and an honor to introduce him to our listeners.

    From the moment we lift our heads off the pillow and put our feet on the floor… our days are filled with movement. In fact we make hundreds of movement decisions every single day.

    Dr. Robert Lustig | Metabolical

    New York Times bestselling author, Dr. Robert Lustig, is sounding the alarm on the problems caused by processed foods and sugar. His new book, Metabolical, takes a deep dive into what’s fueling the continual increase of lifestyle diseases. By now, you know these diseases by heart… type 2 diabetes, hypertension, lipid problems, cardiovascular disease, cancer, dementia, and the list goes on.   One of Robert's defining messages is that these lifestyle diseases aren’t druggable, but they are foodable. You're about to find out what that means in today's episode. Food is the only lever you have to affect biochemical change to improve your health. As Dr. Lustig says, "If we do not fix our food and change the way we eat, we will continue to court chronic disease, bankrupt healthcare, and threaten the planet."  Here are some highlights from the show...  "My job is to kill the calorie, I want it gone as a unit of measure because it is absolutely completely useless. It’s only gotten us into more and more trouble."   "All food is inherently good; it’s what’s been done to the food that can make it bad. All of your cells either respond positively or negatively to the specific components of your food."    "Essentially, all you need to know are two precepts, six words total: protect the liver, feed the gut."   "Everybody kept saying, 'eat less, exercise more, eat less, exercise more.' Guess what? We ate less, we exercised more, and we only gained more weight." Buckle up!    For more podcasts, visit www.kathysmith.com/podcast.
