Ever Forward Radio with Chase Chewning

This episode is an invitation to redefine your relationship with your body, your spirit, and the very fabric of life as we know it. Guest Alexis Artin helps us ponder the finite nature of our existence juxtaposed against the infinite journey of the soul, uncovering how our bodies communicate with us and guide our purpose. We share the practical philosophy of 'three-foot toss' and 'micro-dosing adversity' as strategies for building resilience, as well as unravel how curiosity and self-compassion pave the way to recognizing our innate value, irrespective of external validation. If you've ever felt lost in the pursuit of wellness amidst the noise of societal expectations, this episode will be your compass back to self.

Growing older is a blessing. But the slow decline and the loss of functionality associated with aging has led us to treat the process like a disease.

Dr. Anthony Youn, one of America’s most trusted surgeons, offers a groundbreaking new approach to turning back the clock naturally. In this episode, he shares how, through simple changes in diet, activity and skin care, we can look younger than ever before. Packed with accessible, innovative tips and techniques, this episode is a masterclass on the simple changes you can make to live longer, look better, stay healthier and feel amazing—for life.
