This week I welcomed Frank Lipman, MD on my show to discuss lasting health and longevity. Beyond the idea of extending lifespan, Dr. Lipman is passionate about promoting healthspan and emotional wellbeing. Emphasizing the importance of diet, sleep, exercise, and positive relationships, Dr. Lipman shares his journey from traditional to integrative medicine, starting in South Africa and transitioning to the U.S., where he began incorporating holistic practices into his treatment methods. 

Together we cover the significance of hormonal balance, the role of peptides and selective medication in longevity, and the paramount importance of lifestyle choices over supplements or advanced medical interventions for aging effectively. Dr. Lipman stresses the undeniable link between gut health and aging, advocating for minimalistic interventions that prioritize the body's natural rhythms and functions. He also shares specific recommendations on types of movement practices that are foundational to leading full and active lives while aging. 

For Dr. Lipman, health is more than just the absence of disease: it is a total state of physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social wellbeing. A New York Times best-selling author of seven books, Dr. Lipman has been practicing medicine for more than forty years and is a widely recognized trailblazer and leader in functional and integrative medicine. Over the years, he has supported more than ten thousand patients to discover their personal path to a long and healthy life.

Tune in as we explore ways of living vibrantly that are truly accessible to everyone as we encourage listeners to journey inwards to promote your emotional wellbeing and thrive.
