🎙️ Too Young to Be Old: You Are What You Eat-The Real Secret to Aging, Mood & Longevity with Judy Gaman
What if the key to aging well isn’t just in your genes, but on your plate? In this eye-opening episode, Diane Gilman welcomes health and wellness expert Judy Gaman for a candid conversation about food as medicine, the gut-brain connection, and how what you eat can transform your hormones, mood, and longevity-especially after 50. Together, they bust nutrition myths, discuss the dangers of sugar and processed foods, and share practical, science-backed strategies for eating your age and thriving at any stage of life.

- Supplements & Testing: The role of micronutrient testing, supplements, and finding workarounds for nutritional gaps when real food isn’t enough.
- The Sugar Problem: Why sugar is the “600-pound gorilla” in the American diet, and how it’s linked to cancer, depression, obesity, and more.
- The Medical System Dilemma: Why doctors often push prescriptions over prevention, and how to take charge of your health with knowledge and self-advocacy.
