Stop Chasing "Anti-Aging." Lower Oxidative Stress Instead

In this short episode, I discuss the relationship between accelerated aging “oxidative stress.” Oxidative stress is what accelerates aging, promotes chronic illness, including brain related conditions, and depletes our energy, focus and quality of life.

Our left brain would like to control our bodies and the natural order of things, while our right brain would have us paying more attention to our embodied short existence on this planet. Instead of focusing on “anti-aging,” we could consider ways to lower oxidative stress (in a relaxed way).

Here, I comment on:

* The double bind of aging in these times

* What oxidative stress is

* Signs and health conditions associated with oxidative stress

* Causes of oxidative stress

* General ways to address oxidative stress (more on this in future episodes)

* The importance of lowering oxidative stress in a relaxed way (so as to not have undo stress increasing oxidative stress!)

I look forward to sharing more details on limiting exposures, and supporting our antioxidant and detoxifications systems in future episodes.

As always, I welcome your thoughts and questions. I learn a lot from you.

Until next time,

Courtney
