Download MP3

People tend to associate aging with weakness, frailty, losing their minds, and the inability to continue doing the things they love. But it doesn’t have to be this way! Getting older doesn’t mean you have to fall apart. If we eat right, exercise regularly, and incorporate healthy stressors into our daily routine, we can stay young forever. 

Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Mark Hyman to talk about his new book, Young Forever: The Secrets to Living Your Longest, Healthiest Life. In this episode, Dr. Hyman shares what he learned from his time in the Blue Zones, reading the latest research on longevity and using the principles of Functional Medicine to reverse his biological age by nearly 25 years.

Dr. Hyman is a practicing family physician and an internationally recognized leader, speaker, educator, and advocate in the field of Functional Medicine. He is the founder and director of The UltraWellness Center, Senior Advisor for the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine, a 14-time New York Times bestselling author, and Board President for Clinical Affairs for The Institute for Functional Medicine. 

He is the host of one of the leading health podcasts, The Doctor’s Farmacy. Dr. Hyman is a regular medical contributor to several television shows and networks, including CBS This Morning, Today, Good Morning America, The View, and CNN. He is also an advisor and guest cohost on The Dr. Oz Show.
