49: Dr. Frank Lipman On The Mitochondria & Why We're Just As Addicted To Technology As Sugar
b"Ever wondered what the connection between chi and the mitochondria might be? Want to know why relaxation is all about activating the parasympathetic nervous system? The human body is endlessly fascinating, which can also make getting and staying healthy feel terribly complicated. That is, until you have an expert explain it to you in a way that makes perfect sense.\\nDr. Frank Lipman is a leader in integrative and functional medicine, my personal doctor, a New York Times best-selling author of five books, an mbg practices instructor, and a member of the mbg Collective. His new book, launching today, How to Be Well: The 6 Keys to a Happy and Healthy Life, puts four decades of experience in one place. It's like having a health coach right in your living room.\\nJoin me as I sit down with one of my favorite people to chat about sleep, diet, movement, protecting ourselves from chemicals, and connecting with our loved ones. As it turns out, being well doesn't have to be complicated; the ordinary things we take for granted\\u2014like reggae music, gratitude, and sunshine\\u2014can have extraordinary effects on our health.\\nTo contact Jason with comments, questions, or speaker ideas, please e-mail podcast@mindbodygreen.com. \\nFor all sponsorship inquiries, please e-mail sales@mindbodygreen.com. \\nWant to join our podcast newsletter?
