How long do you want to live? 75 years? 90? Over 100?! According to oncologist and bioethicist Ezekiel Manuel, living longer doesn’t mean healthy living. Ezekiel joins Chris to discuss why he’s suspicious about medical establishments and their push to treat illness and diseases rather than teaching patients how to be healthy. They also talk about the beauty of spontaneous conversations with strangers. Finally Ezekiel shares the three foods you need to cut from your diet immediately… and why ice-cream is not on that list!
