This week’s episode is a special compilation episode all about stress: what it is, where it comes from, and what we can do to manage it better in our lives. Even before the events of the past 20 months, we were living in the middle of a stress epidemic. For many years now, the World Health Organization has been calling stress, the health epidemic of the 21st century. Many of us think that we can get away with burning the candle at both ends forever. But the reality is very, very different. Stress impacts every single organ of the body and chronic stress is at the root of many modern chronic diseases. On my podcast, I have had the great pleasure of talking to some of the leading thinkers and scientists across the globe and this week my team and I have put together some of the very best bits from previous episodes to give you actionable tips that I hope help you live a happier, more fulfilling, and stress-free life.This episode includes clips from:Episode 41 – Dr Rangan Chatterjee and Dr Ayan PanjaEpisode 28 - Rich RollEpisode 183 - Greg McKeownEpisode 95 - Claudia HammondEpisode 113 - Brian MacKenzieEpisode 124 - James NestorEpisode 109 - Kelly McGonigalEpisode 2 - Michael Acton-SmithEpisode 80 - Dhru PurohitThanks to our sponsors: https://www.calm.com/livemore https://vivobarefoot.com/livemore http://www.athleticgreens.com/livemore Show notes available at https://drchatterjee.com/214 Support the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Athletic Greens, Joovv, and BiOptimizers.We can’t avoid getting older, but we can reduce biological aging—the internal process that creates all the symptoms of the disease we’ve come to call aging. That means we can be one age chronologically, and another internally. I’m happy to use myself as an example of what we can do to our biology when we take out negative inputs and embrace positive ones: I’m 63 years old but my biological age is 43. We are living in a pivotal time for reframing the intersection of age and health. My passion for this topic combined with the incredible tools I’ve discovered led me to write my new book, Young Forever, so that I could share this life-changing information with others. Today on the podcast, I’m so excited to sit down with my friend and business partner Dhru Purohit to talk about some of the key highlights from my research on longevity. Dhru and I dive into the best way to determine your biological age so that you can begin your own journey of aging backward with measurable data. Functional Medicine provides us with the perfect framework to prevent and heal dis-ease, with the exciting side effect of reduced aging. This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Athletic Greens, Joovv, and BiOptimizers.Rupa Health is a place where Functional Medicine practitioners can access more than 2,000 specialty lab tests from over 35+ labs.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Athletic Greens, and Vuori.Acne is the number-one skin condition in the United States, affecting not just millions of teenagers but an increasing number of adults under the guise of hormones. Typically, the first thing we reach for to deal with acne is a lotion, potion, or cream to apply to the skin—and conventional medicine doctors frequently prescribe birth-control pills. However, these approaches do not target the root cause of acne.In this episode of my Masterclass series, I am interviewed by my good friend and podcast host, Dhru Purohit, about the biggest triggers of acne, why we all react differently, and the top nutrients for skin health.

The gut microbiome plays a role in every disease, so why aren’t we doing more to protect and restore it? One third to one half of all Americans have gut issues due to the constant consumption of industrialized foods, glyphosate, food additives, and more. This is a problem—and it’s time for us to take action.In this episode of my Masterclass series, the first in a series on gut health, I am interviewed by my good friend and podcast host, Dhru Purohit, about the importance of polyphenols for our gut health.

This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens, Wonderfeel, and Rupa Health.Over the years, it has become a widely held belief that cancer is predominantly genetic or simply the consequence of bad luck.
