Description: This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens and BiOptimizers.  It’s no surprise that physical movement is one of the best habits you can possibly adopt to live a longer, better life. Exercise (the right dose, type, and frequency) optimizes all biological systems. In fact, combined with the right diet, exercise is the most powerful tool for staying healthy and extending your life. In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I dive into exactly how exercise benefits the body, how much is needed, how to incorporate more movement into your life, and much more. What I’ve discovered has blown my mind and changed the way I approach my own health and the health of my patients. I’ve compiled it all into a new book called Young Forever, which comes out on February 21, 2023. Learn more and preorder the book at youngforeverbook.com.
