This week, we explore the science of improving your health span — living longer AND healthier — and the link between your gut microbiome and heart health, with two researchers from CU Boulder’s Integrative Physiology of Aging lab. And we look at new research on how to lower your blood pressure in 5 minutes a day with no exercise.
