How do we think about aging? What is longevity? Jason Prall is the creator of \u2018The Human Longevity Project\u2019 and the author of the book \u2018Beyond Longevity\u2019. Jason is also a repeat guest, so check out episode 292 if you\u2019d like to hear his first interview with Dr. Jockers!

\xa0

He\u2019s interviewed centenarians (people who are 100 years or older) and visited \u2018blue zone\u2019 communities where people are aging well and is truly an expert in the field of longevity.\xa0

\xa0

Today he and Dr. Jockers are chatting about sleep, light, and how that plays a crucial role in our mitochondrial health, aging, and longevity.

\xa0

Learn whether we can slow aging and how to understand it as more than just the damaging effects of aging. How can we turn on cellular repair and slow down the rate at which we age? How much autophagy do we want? What is causing our unhealthy behaviors and what is driving our limiting beliefs around healthy aging?

\xa0

The answers to these questions (and more) lie inside this truly absorbing episode of Functional Nutrition that speaks to our innate intelligence to heal ourselves and learn from nature. Please join us.\xa0

\xa0

\u201cWe\u2019re at a very interesting nexus. And I think how we think about aging and how we think about longevity is really, really important. There\u2019s historical context for longevity and aging and for life itself as a cycle. It\u2019s really important that we explore these things from a foundational principle."
