How to Eat for Gut Health & Longevity

Hey everyone! Welcome back to the Lifespan show. I'm here again with Dr. Matthew LaPlante, my buddy and co-author. If you caught the first episode of this series on the hallmarks of aging, we talked a lot about mitochondria, what goes wrong with them, and why that can leave us with less energy as we get older, and also how things like exercise and cold exposure can reinvigorate them.

This is part two of three, and today, we're going to talk about food because what you eat dramatically affects both the signals your cells receive and the microbial community living in your gut. But don't worry if you didn't catch the first episode, you can always go back. You don't need to watch these in order.
