Legends about the Fountain of Youth have existed for millennia. In spite of rumors about discovery in Florida, the real fountain of youth comes from tapping into the growing research on longevity – the practical steps any of us can take to improve the quality – and potentially quantity – of the years we have remaining in this thing called life.

Welcome to the Catalyst Health, Wellness & Performance Coaching Podcast. Today’s guest is Orthopedic surgeon and author Dr. Howard Luks. I first discovered Dr. Luks on Twitter. I’ve known hundreds of orthopedic surgeons over my 30+ years as a physical therapist, and this guy didn’t sound like any ortho I’d ever met. He encouraged skipping the MRI, holding off on surgery and more. His credentials were impeccable, and when he agreed to join us waaaaay back in Episode #70 to discuss orthopedic mythbusting, you made it one of our most popular episodes of all time. We’ve continued to communicate regularly over the years since, and with the release of his new book, Longevity, Simplified, we just had to get him back on the show. You’re going to love this one and likely send it to your cynical friends who still think running is bad for your knees, MRIs tell us everything and longevity is just based on luck.

You can find his book Longevity Simplified at Howardluksmd.com/book or follow him on Twitter @hjluks
