Healthy ageing - what ageing is as a biological process and what we can do daily to age well.

We know that how we live affects how we age, and in this episode, rather than focusing on longevity per se, 

I look at the biology of ageing and how we can adopt simple daily habits to positively affect the factors that age us. 

I also talk about my Health Loop and your 'typical day’ to help lay out your unique needs for a lifestyle prescription.
