The Longevity Advice No One Can Sell You

Description:

Tune into the newest episode of our Energy Works Podcast, where science meets spirit to help you heal, energize, and thrive.

What if your emotional health is just as important to longevity as your sleep, nutrition, and exercise?

In this solo episode, Lauren explores the connection between our emotions, our bodies, and long-term health through the lenses of Energy Medicine Yoga, Ayurveda, and Chinese medicine. She looks at how unresolved or “undigested” emotional experiences may show up in the body, alongside what Western research is revealing about the relationship between emotional wellbeing, stress, and physical health.

Lauren also takes a critical look at the biohacking and longevity movement, especially the overwhelming number of supplements, tests, protocols, and expensive interventions promising to help us live longer. Using longevity advocate Bryan Johnson and his experience with autoimmune gastritis as a starting point, Lauren explores the concept of autoimmunity through the lens of Chinese medicine. She brings the conversation back to foundational health practices that are often overlooked because they aren't particularly monetizable: quality sleep, nourishing food, healthy digestion and elimination, relationships, community, creativity, purpose, and emotional wellbeing.

This episode is a grounded invitation to step back from the latest health trend and reconnect with the foundations that truly support wellbeing. Now available wherever you get your podcasts!
