The Importance of Listening
Dr. Gay: Listening to your body and hearing what it has to say is the most important thing you can do for yourself. She says our bodies are going to be challenged, whether it's physiological stress or whatever it may be over the course of our lifetime. The best way to protect ourselves is to make sure that we're filling up our metabolic reserves," she said.
Let’s take another look at the top tips from all our experts. In this episode, they explain why you need to listen to your body and take responsibility for your health. They get into using techniques like yoga, meditation, and saunas to develop resilience and the benefits of being active and doing strength training. They discuss the importance of addressing micronutrient deficiencies, avoiding junk food, and intermittent fasting. You will also learn how much difference your mindset makes, and how smiling more and making a concerted effort to be happier will lead to a longer and healthier life.

- Be happy, practice gratitude, and try smiling more. Life is so much easier when you are grateful for what you have, and when you take yourself less seriously and focus on the positives in life!
