Alongside the world’s top experts in the aging field, NOVOS has developed a line of supplements that promote longevity.

He discusses how we can track our own biological age and offers actionable advice on extending our lifespan by leveraging synergistic effects of the nine hallmarks of aging.   Follow Chris @slowyouraging Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode resources: Save 20% on any Caldera + Lab skincare  product with code EVERFORWARD at http://calderalab.com/everforward Save 25% on select products during the Cured Nutrition pre-Black Friday sale and get free shipping with code EVERFORWARD at www.CuredNutrition.com  Get Lifespan by David Sinclair at https://amzn.to/3C5D1cS  Learn more and get complete show notes at https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/547

She encourages anybody to reach out if they’re finding it a challenge to stay consistent with a healthy nutritional lifestyle. “If you’re struggling in your relationship with food,” says Molly, “you deserve help.” Molly Carmel is an eating disorder and addiction therapist who helps her clients break free of food addiction, emotional eating, binge eating, and destructive dieting.

Joe DiStefano is a global authority on how to optimize wellness and longevity on the path to improving fitness and sports performance. After over 17 years of professional experience in the fitness industry, Joe has had the opportunity to coach some of the world's top athletes, instructed over 100 live events in 15+ countries, and spoken on the TED stage. In today’s multifaceted discussion, Joe gives his thoughts on crossing the threshold between a life of survival and a life of thriving, as he explores the emotions that come with survival (ex. shame, fear, guilt, etc.) and those virtues that allow one to thrive (ex. Love, humility, selflessness, etc.). In particular, Joe addresses the true nature of shame and how its destructive effects manifest themselves even before we engage in the thing that we perceive will bring us shame. “Whatever we think,” he says, “we basically receive.” He shares his personal rituals that have helped him break out of and steer clear of the trap of negativity, including ice baths and stream-of-consciousness writing. By rubbing up against the threshold of discomfort, says Joe, the mind and body develops a higher tolerance for pain. Finally, Joe explains why it’s more important today than ever before to surround yourself with circles of influence and constellations of support.   Follow Joe @coachjoedi Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode resources: Save 15% on Strong Coffee Company with code CHASE at www.StrongCoffeeCompany.com Save 20% on the new Chocolate Gold by Organifi with code EVERFORWARD at www.Organifi.com/everforward Get approved for your VA Home Loan in 5 minutes with Hero Loan at www.HeroLoan.com  Get the book King, Warrior, Magician, Lover at https://amzn.to/3mFMnaE  Learn more at https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/544

Dr. Sara Gottfried, MD is the Director of Precision Medicine at the Marcus Institute of Integrative Health at Thomas Jefferson University. Her work in precision medicine involves tracking data flows via wearables for her patients, who range from corporate executives to professional athletes. Initially developed as a medical model for cancer research, precision medicine is now being used more broadly, beyond oncology, as a highly personalized approach to treating patients. The data streams that Dr. Gottfried pools include biomarkers such as blood, urine, hormones, and cellular micronutrients. She also relies on genomic testing, an important factor when it comes to performance, recovery, and determining risk of injury. Another reference is data sets from wearables themselves (ex. WHOOP, Apple Watch, Garmin, Oura Ring, etc.). “Precision medicine,” says Dr. Gottfried, “is pulling together all those data streams so that we can personalize what is true for you.” Listen in as Dr. Gottfried explains how athletes and other top-performers looking to maximize their longevity can benefit from working with a specialist in precision medicine.   Follow Sara @saragottfriedmd Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode resources: Get your free WHOOP 4.0 band and save $30 on your new membership at http://join.whoop.com/everforward Save 20% on the at-home wellness test strips from Vessel Health with code EVERFOWARD20 at https://www.vesselhealth.com  Learn more and get complete show notes at https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/543
