What if the most powerful longevity intervention isn’t a supplement, a workout, or a wearable—but forgiveness? In this episode of Next Act Ninjas, Dr. Rachael Van Pelt dives deep into the emerging science of forgiveness and why it’s one of the most underappreciated tools for boosting your healthspan. Drawing from 20+ years of clinical research, she breaks down how emotional forgiveness can lower blood pressure, reduce inflammation, improve sleep, strengthen immunity, and even extend your life. You’ll learn the difference between emotional and decisional forgiveness, how to spot “toxic forgiveness,” and a simple 4-step practice to let go of old wounds without denying your truth. Whether you're navigating midlife, planning your Next Act, or just ready to age on your own terms—this episode is a must-listen.
