Episode 675: Are You Becoming More Alive as You Age? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We have a lot of metrics for health. Steps, sleep scores, bloodwork, body composition, VO2 max. And I am not dismissing any of them. But there is a question underneath all of them that rarely gets asked directly: are you becoming more alive? In this episode I explore aliveness as a measure of health, not just physiological health but the quality of your engagement with your own experience. You can have excellent lab work and feel completely flat. You can be navigating genuine health challenges a
Episode 674: Stop Gaslighting Your Own Body (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Your body is sending you signals constantly. Hunger. Fullness. Fatigue. Tension. Overstimulation. The need to move. The need to stop. And most of us have spent years overriding those signals so consistently that we can no longer reliably read them. In this episode I introduce the concept of interoception, the body's ability to sense its own internal state, and make the case that rebuilding this relationship may be one of the most important health skills available. I also explore the gaslighting
Episode 673: When Did You Make Going Outside Hard? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It is too hot. It is too cold. There are no sidewalks in my neighborhood. I do not have the right shoes. I do not have enough time.

I make the case that almost none of them are as insurmountable as they feel, and that the threshold for what counts as
Episode 672: The Case for Eating With Other People (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the Blue Zones, the regions of the world where people consistently live past 100 in good health, researchers kept finding the same things. And one of the most consistent was communal eating. In this episode I draw on Dan Buettner's Blue Zones research to make the case that eating with other people is not just pleasant. It is protective. Shared meals slow us down, almost automatically. They improve digestion, reduce intake, and create a quality of connection at the table that is hard to replic
Episode 671: Stop Trying to Get Your Old Body Back (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It is not a privilege that our bodies change. It is a privilege that we lived long enough to change. In this episode I challenge the assumption that a past version of your body was the standard against which all future versions should be judged. Bodies change because life happens. Because hormones shift, experiences accumulate, and time passes in a living system that is always responding to its environment. A body that never changed would be a body that was not fully alive. I use the analogy of
