Today, it's just me, and we're doing things a little differently on the Longevity Podcast. With the intensity of the holiday season winding down, I wanted to take a step back from the usual deep-dives and high-tech hacks to focus on something fundamental—free, practical strategies to help you manage stress. Chronic stress is sneaky in how it accelerates aging, impacts your telomeres, and undoes even the most powerful interventions, but thankfully, there are simple ways we can start to turn things around.
