We often think of aging as synonymous with decline. We believe that having memory loss, becoming slow and less agile, experiencing joint pain and stiffness, increasing diseases, and need for medications are all viewed as \u2018normal\u2019 as we age. The truth is, becoming overweight, sick, and slow are NOT inevitable.\xa0\nWe need to reframe how we view aging. The current theory that aging is just a slow and painful decline until we die is outdated and archaic. Currently, our healthspans do not equal our lifespans. Your healthspan is how well you live, your lifespan is how long you live. So while it\u2019s true that human bodies cannot live forever, there are proven scientific methods to extend our healthspan, and that\u2019s really what matters.\nOn today\u2019s Broken Brain Podcast, we are sharing episode 1 from our upcoming 8-part docu-series, the Longevity Roadmap, hosted by Dr. Mark Hyman.\nIn the Longevity Roadmap, you\u2019ll learn all about the prevalent diseases of aging that decrease healthspan, how the conventional approach to these conditions is backwards, how to identify and treat the root cause of aging using the Functional Medicine approach, and more importantly, how to improve your healthspan to live a long, vibrant life.\nIn Episode 1, we'll dive into an overview of longevity and the difference between healthspan and lifespan. We'll discuss the 7 systems of Functional Medicine and how imbalances in each system can lead to disease.\n\xa0\nWe\u2019ll also cover:\xa0\n\nThe issue with the disease-focused approach.\n\nHow the 7 main organ systems are responsible for the majority of chronic disease.\n\nPractical steps you can take today to improve your healthspan.\n\n\xa0\nThis 8-part docu-series, explores the Functional Medicine approach to heart disease, cancer, balancing hormones, and brain health, how to eat for longevity, and innovative therapies that have been shown to increase healthspan.
