What Foods Should You Eat And Supplements Should You Take To Age Well? with Dr. Michael Murray

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, BiOptimizers, Levels, and AirDoctor. Real, whole foods contain information in the form of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats, protein, phytonutrients, and fiber. That’s why food is our most powerful tool for getting our healthspan to match our lifespan. Today, I’m excited to talk to Dr. Michael Murray, one of the world’s leading authorities on natural medicine, about the power of food for optimal health and longevity and how to activate our body’s own innate healing system. Dr. Murray is a doctor of naturopathy, a field of alternative medicine that seeks to harness the power of nature to prevent illness and achieve the highest level of health possible. He is the Chief Science Advisor for iHerb, and the author of more than thirty books, including The Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine (Third Edition) and The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods, and his latest, The Longevity Matrix.
