We all feel the effects of both lack of sleep and stress, but did you know they could be impacting your longevity? Back to explore this topic is integrative medicine physician and founder of Orgain, Dr. Andrew Abraham. He and Ginger round out the conversation on healthspan with an introspective discussion on sleep and stress management. Together, they dive into how stress can accelerate aging at a cellular level and why the right antidote could be the company you keep. They uncover the impact of stress-related hormones, their link to inflammation, and why having a toolkit of stress reducers like breathwork is beyond beneficial when managing stress. Then, they turn to sleep, breaking down what your body is really up to while you rest. From different sleep stages to their effects on aging, they explore what it all means for long-term health. Finally, they outline small but powerful habits you can introduce to bring more calm into your life, improve your sleep, and experience the true benefits of all your efforts.
