Live Younger Longer! Using Nutrition and Lifestyle to Restore Vitality at any Age
Week of November 19, 2022
We are likely going to live much longer than previous generations. But living longer can be full and rich, with good energy and wisdom, or deteriorate into poor health and chronic disability. You can choose! Living longer is not the same as growing old. Vitality lets us live more life in each day. It is the quality that powers us to be healthy, strong, active and productive. We will discuss the keys to a life of health and vitality. You will have the opportunity to evaluate how you are doing in each area and create a roadmap for a life with balance, energy, resilience, and optimism. Each lecture is a blend of ancient wisdoms and cutting-edge nutritional research, with lots of practical pearls from my clinical experience as a naturopath and Doctor of Oriental Medicine.
These talks are excerpted from Dr. Gold’s online video course, “Live Younger Longer, Improve your Vitality at Every Age.” improvingvitality.org.
