These are actions that, in the right dose, have the power to lower inflammation, boost tissue repair and metabolism, and support our mitochondria. It\u2019s like the saying goes: what doesn\u2019t kill you makes you stronger. Things like exercise and strength training, hot and cold therapies, light therapy, ozone, and others are all mild stressors that jump-start your body into repair and rejuvenation.\nIn today\u2019s episode of my series I\u2019m calling Health Bites, I dive into how adversity and little stresses to your system (i.e., hormesis) activate longevity pathways. What I\u2019ve discovered has blown my mind and changed the way I approach my own health and the health of my patients. I\u2019ve compiled it all into a new book called Young Forever, which comes out on February 21, 2023.
