We're grateful to have the amazing Dr. Jeff Gross back at TYP and this time we talk about the idea of the general population (all of us) being 'required' to spend a year learning how our mind, body, brain and emotions work, in order to improve self-awareness and understanding around personal health (our health), to make more informed decisions, to create healthier habits and to be able to self-manage and self-regulate in an intelligent manner. We also chatted about longevity and health span, biohacking, the Doc's thoughts on marijuana, his daily regime (including food, supps, exercise and lifestyle), the biggest determinants of health (given a 1-10 importance rating by the Doc) and lots more.
