Live Better, Longer: The Science Behind How Diet and Exercise Support Your Healthspan with Dr. Andrew Abraham (ep - 59)

If you keep your ear to the ground in the nutrition world, you’ve probably heard the term healthspan. Health science is changing, and is no longer just focused on how long you live but on how long you live well, free from major illness or disease. In this episode, we kick off another incredible season of the Good Clean Nutrition Podcast with a conversation all about healthspan and longevity. Host, integrative registered dietitian, and now doctor, Ginger Hultin is back behind the microphone! She is joined by Dr. Andrew Abraham, integrative medicine physician and founder of Orgain.

Over the next two episodes, Ginger and Dr. Abraham will explore the four pillars of healthspan: diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management. Here, they start with the first two pillars: the impact of diet and exercise. They break down both the science and the specifics, exploring landmark studies on nutrition, insights from the world’s Blue Zones, and the best ways to prioritize exercise and its specific forms as you age. Together, they unveil the small yet powerful habits you can start now to add more years to your life and more life to your years!
