In this episode of the Aging Mask A Life Style Medicine Podcast, I will share with you the surprisingly deep world of the handshake.  A gesture so simple, yet packed with so much meaning. 

From the meaning behind it to what your grip, palm and pressure say about you, and I will share how a handshake can build trust, express confidence, and even sabotage first impressions.

You will learn about the different types of handshakes, the Limp Handshake, The Bone Crusher, the Clammy Handshake and the ever familiar "Bro Shake".

When do you shake hands, when do you not shake hands, and how the handshake connects to lifestyle medicine, confidence and human connection. 

Whether you are in the boardroom or a backyard BBQ  this episode will leave you thinking to think twice about how and when you shake hands.

The three (3) rules of a good handshake:

1- Make sure both hands are visible

2-Stand up and stand up straight (good posture)

3- Make eye contact and smile

I know you will learn something today, and it will be a tip to carry with you at all times.

Enjoy!
