(Originally recorded July 28, 2024 for another podcast Corinna once hosted, Nutrition Without Compromise — shared with permission.) Aging is often framed as inevitable decline. But what if much of what we call “aging” is actually preventable disease accumulation? In this essential re-release episode, Corinna Bellizzi sits down with Michael Greger, physician, internationally recognized speaker, and founder of NutritionFacts.org. Dr. Greger’s latest book, How Not to Age, builds on the groundbreaking work of How Not to Die and How Not to Diet — translating peer-reviewed science into practical guidance for living longer and healthier. In this conversation, we explore: The difference between lifespan and healthspan Why excess protein may accelerate aging pathways The myth of “incomplete” plant proteins Fish consumption, pollution, and algae-based Omega-3 alternatives Autophagy, spermidine, and cellular repair The role of vitamin B12, vitamin D, and DHA The promise of lifestyle medicine in addressing Alzheimer’s and chronic disease This episode launches a curated Care More Be Better re-share series highlighting foundational health conversations that remain deeply relevant today.
