Life With Breath Podcast: Dr. Dan Ritchie Of Functional Aging Institute On Health, Fitness & Aging

My overall health and well-being is my #1 priority. If I have my health, I am rich and strong on EVERY level. I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with Dr. Dan Ritchie on the why's of aging well. If you're going to live until your 80's, how do you want your 80's to feel? For me, I want to be as active and healthful as possible.

When our physical health is good, this translates into good mental health. Exercise doesn't have to be a chore. It can be your favorite activity like walking your dog. The point is, stay active, move your body, engage your mind into the present moment.
