Dr. Ro is serving up some "tough love" with a side of kale. We’re diving into the secrets of longevity, starting with why the world is currently acting like protein is the only food group in existence. If you want to live long enough to see your grandkids' grandkids, we’re talking about Blue Zones, anti-inflammatory whole foods, and why your "fat" (that inner voice) is trying to call you on your cell phone just to ruin your day. Plus, we get real about "adulting" with a breakdown of why 75% of us need to stop procrastinating and finally get an estate plan together.

The show gets a high-energy boost with guest Kuti Mack —a former top music executive who traded platinum records for green juice and muscle mass. He shares his "Be Your Best Daily" (BYBD) philosophy and explains how he went from managing icons like Outkast to managing the health of his family and clients.
