If you want to be the youngest and healthiest version of yourself possible, then you need a reliable strategy for working out consistently. Even when you don't want to.
Today's guest, ER doctor and anti-aging expert, Dr. Steven Gabriel almost never wants to work out. But being as young and healthy as possible is important for him. And so, he's developed a few ways to trick himself into working out that he shares with you in this show.
There's a specific reason Dr. Gabriel wants to be as young and healthy as possible:
He's spent years working in the ER and has seen first hand how important your lifestyle is for your longevity. He's seen 80-year-olds who had the energy and vigor of a 50 or 60 year old. But he's also seen the reverse: A 60-year-old who feels and acts like he's 80 or 90.
Here's what else Dr. Gabriel and I discuss in today's episode:
How men can have more fulfilling and connecting conversations by being courageously vulnerable
Why it doesn't take as long as you think to learn something new
And he shares a few of his Jedi mindset tricks for forcing himself to work out when he doesn't want to (which is almost every time)
