Main Points From Today’s Episode
1. The 4 Pillar Plan involves how to eat, sleep, relax, and move your way to a longer, healthier life. These are the 4 areas of health that Dr. Chatterjee has found we have the most control over and that have the most impact on how we feel.
2. Relaxation is potentially the most undervalued pillar of health, but it can make a big difference. One of Dr. Chatterjee’s patients was able to reduce her symptoms of Crohn’s disease by 50% just by adding in relaxation.
3. Eating your food within a 12-hour window is a great way to improve your health. Research shows that following a compressed eating window can help with blood sugar control, weight loss, and immune system function.
