Even though we may have done so in our 20s, eating hamburgers on the regular might not be the best idea once we reach a certain age!

In this episode we explore the secrets to longevity. How can a plant-based diet and "Blue Zone" eating habits become the norm among African American older adults? How can we extend our life span?

With insights from best-selling author and celebrity physician Dr. Ian Smith and raw food pioneer Karyn Calabrese, this convo covers the benefits of plant-based diets, the importance of detoxing, and practical tips for incorporating healthier habits into daily life.

Dr. Ian emphasizes the need for resistance training, proper sleep, and reduction of red meat, while Karyn shares her personal journey and the holistic practices that have kept her vibrant at nearly 80 years old.
