Bradley discusses the major changes he made after turning 50, including protein shakes, testosterone therapy, sleep apnea mouth guards, a stay this summer at the Hoffman Institute in the Canadian Rockies and a complete abstinence from ice cream, even though he loves it and would eat it at every meal if he could. \"All I can do is just try to do the practices that will maximize my chances of living a healthy life,\" he says. \"Ultimately, you can do all that stuff and if you lack unconditional love and support and things that give you meaning and purpose, you're still probably not that happy.\" This episode was taped at P&T Knitwear at 180 Orchard Street — New York City’s only free podcast recording studio.
