By creating community and nurturing our innate sense of curiosity, we can improve our health and increase our longevity. I’m joined by the remarkable Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum, who started her Functional Medicine Coaching business at the age of 65, about how finding your passion, purpose, and community has helped her stay young and vibrant when others around her are slowing down.

    Quotes

    “We often find our mission and purpose through community, when we are not isolated. Then, if you dig a little deeper, it is related to love.” [14:19]

    “Curiosity allows us to have well-being. We all have curiosity, all we have to do is think back to when we were younger and exploring everything. That’s what curiosity is: An excitement to take it all in.” [24:08]

    “Focus on what’s right with you, not what’s wrong with you, as well as focusing on this with other people you encounter.” [37:38]
