Who says you have to slow down after retirement? You can stay healthy and active for years to come, according to today’s expert guest, Dr. Doug Lucas. He is a fellowship-trained precision health specialist, who is on a mission to address the underlying causes of chronic disease and improve both healthspan and lifespan.
