Did you know that a recent CDC report shows that in the U.S. (the most unhealthy nation in the Western world) lifespan is declining for the first time in many years?
In this episode, Derek Berkey sits down with Emily Gold Mears, research analyst and biohacker. Emily is a former attorney and distance runner who began researching health and lifestyle when she was taking care of her father who was declining rapidly with vascular dementia.
Derek chats with Emily about how to sift through the abundance of health information available and make healthy lifestyle choices to reduce the risk of chronic diseases. From lifestyle changes to supplements, Mears provides practical tips on how to become your own health advocate. Plus, she shares her personal journey and advice on how to stay motivated while optimizing your health.
