E296: How to Age Gracefully with Special Guest Roy Holman
E296 Introduction
Aging gracefully and vibrant health is something that I have highly valued my whole life, really. I have watched as the so called “authorities” have put out dubious information about just about everything: our diets, how we exercise, our supplementation, our spiritual and emotional approach to our lives and our health.
It seems the dominant narrative is one where we are always surrendering our sovereignty. The mainstream, consensus mindset is to just try and do the best you can and, if things seem to go wrong or not feel good, go get on a pharmaceutical product. If that doesn’t work or creates new problems or side-effects, go back and get another.
I would imagine this simplified illustration is why so many Americans are on 5-10-15 or more medications. A person can lose track of what is what not to mention lose faith in their own bodies ability to find a healthy baseline. It’s like we are not even giving or God-given bodies a chance to find vibrant health, are you following me?
I have always found that being healthy is a life-long project. One of tinkering with all sorts of modalities, teachers, food, and supplements to find what is optimal for ME. That is one of the important pieces. What works well for someone else may not work well for you. You have to try things out and notice how you feel. Over and over again as you go.
Today’s interview is with my dear friend Roy Holman. He is a man that I deeply respect and admire and he takes a similar approach as a sort of health scientist.
We kick the tires on all sorts of things both well-known and little-known. Our hope is that you can hear your own calling to deeply connect with God and yourself, so that you can hear the whispers that speak uniquely to you. Enjoy the interview.
