Expanding Your Health Span with Dr. Benjamin Miller
In this episode of Peaceful Life Radio, host Don Drew interviews Dr. Benjamin Miller, an expert in aging research from the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation. Dr. Miller discusses the importance of extending the health span—the period of life spent in good health—as opposed to merely extending lifespan. He explores the biological fundamentals of aging, the role of mitochondria, and his research on the benefits of exercise and potential anti-aging therapeutics like metformin and rapamycin. The episode also details ongoing studies and offers practical advice on maintaining health through physical activity, nutrition, sleep, and social engagement.
