About the show
Health is talked about more than ever, yet what often gets lost is a clear, meaningful understanding of how we can truly elevate our lives. The Upgrade is a program that goes beyond surface-level wellness to connects credible science with the deeper questions of what it means to live well. Sometimes it’s hidden in daily habits, sometimes in culture, sometimes in the science no one’s talking about. Wherever it is, we bring it to light—so you can rise a little higher, every day.
