In this episode, Dr. Young, who at 54, boasts a biological age that rivals someone in their early 30s, a fact that always leaves people in awe. He demystifies the difference between chronological and biological age, revealing how adaptable and responsive our bodies truly are. Dr. Young shares his personal journey, emphasizing the powerful impact of consistent daily choices, like nutrition, exercise, sleep, and mindset, over flashy supplements or quick-fix hacks.
