I’m willing to bet all of us would feel a whole lot better about aging if it didn’t actually mean feeling old. Well, I’m here to tell you it doesn’t have to; aging can mean another year of joy, adventure, and spending time with people we love—all while feeling great.

Today, as part of my Masterclass series, I am joined by my good friend and podcast host, Dhru Purohit, to answer a question submitted by my community through the video app HiHo about the benefits of hot and cold therapy. We also discuss why adequate protein is vital as we age and how to turn on longevity switches in our bodies to live a longer, healthier life.
