In this episode of The Longevity Lounge, Dr. Cherine explores a biohack that most wellness plans overlook—joy. If you’ve been eating clean, supplementing, exercising, and still feeling off, this episode is for you. Discover how joy isn't just a feeling—it's a biochemical powerhouse that boosts immunity, improves gut health, enhances neuroplasticity, and slows the aging process.

You’ll learn how joy activates dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins—creating a cascade of healing effects throughout your entire body. From studies on immune resilience to real stories of burnout and renewal, this episode reframes joy not as a luxury, but as a biological necessity.

Inside you'll discover:

👉The link between joy and gut, hormone, and brain health

👉What happens at the cellular level when joy is missing

👉The stress-aging connection and how joy buffers it

👉Why play isn’t childish—it’s critical to your nervous system

👉Practical ways to build joy into your daily and quarterly rhythm

This episode is your reminder to unplug, to laugh, to reconnect—not just for your mindset, but to restore your energy, calm your nervous system, and give your body what it truly needs to heal.

🔬 Topics Covered:

🔹️Why functional testing matters more than ever

🔹️Common signs your body is asking for deeper insight

🔹️Which tests Meg recommends for energy, digestion, and hormone balance

🔹️How to interpret results with a practitioner who gets it

🔹️What makes functional nutrition different from traditional models
