Aging can be slowed down, but not reversed. Nutrition should be personalized and based on individual patterns. Movement and functional health are crucial for longevity. Real food, such as whole foods, is essential for health. Education about nutrition should start early in life. GLP-1 medications show promise in improving metabolic health. Mental and physical health are interconnected and influence each other. Sleep hygiene is crucial for overall well-being. Foundational health habits should be prioritized over fads.  Chapters 00:00 Taking Ownership of Your Health 01:32 Meet Dr. Rohan Basundath 02:34 The Concept of Longevity 03:26 Understanding Biological Age 04:17 Components of a Longevity Program 08:34 The Role of Nutrition and Movement 18:39 Precision Medicine and Individualized Care 21:48 The Cost of Prolonging Life 22:26 Healthy Living: Food and Exercise 24:13 Healthcare Spending and Longevity 25:47 The Obesity and Diabetes Epidemic 27:39 The Role of GLP-1 Agonists 29:57 Mental and Physical Health Connection 32:43Find or Get Your Medspa Certified: https://medspaboard.com/ Grab Your Copy of Medspa Mayhem the Book Today: HERELearn about The MedSpa Board — the national registry that verifies legally compliant, doctor-led med spas.Find a certified provider near you → MedspaBoard.comWant the anti-aging essentials I actually use: Download my FREE  Gift GuideFollower Instagram: instagram.com/drkatedeePlease leave us a review on Apple Podcast: HERE Catch full podcast episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrKateDeeGLOW Medspa - Seattle, WA: https://glowspaseattle.com/Disclaimer:  This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
