From the author of the New York Times bestseller The Plant Paradox comes a groundbreaking longevity plan for living a long, healthy, happy life.
From the moment we are born, our cells begin to age. But aging does not have to mean decline. World-renowned surgeon Dr. Steven Gundry has been treating mature patients for most of his career. He knows that everyone thinks they want to live forever, until they hit middle age and witness the suffering of their parents and even their peers. So how do we solve the paradox of wanting to live to a ripe old age—but enjoy the benefits of youth?
This groundbreaking book holds the answer. Working with thousands of patients, Dr. Gundry has discovered that the “diseases of aging” we most fear are not simply a function of age; rather, they are a byproduct of the way we have lived over the decades. In The Longevity Paradox, he maps out a new approach to aging well—one that is based on supporting the health of the “oldest” parts of us: the microorganisms that live within our bodies.
Our gut bugs—the bacteria that make up the microbiome—largely determine our health over the years. From diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s to common ailments like arthritis to our weight and the appearance of our skin, these bugs are in the driver’s seat, controlling our quality of life and health span as we age.
The good news is, it’s never too late to support these microbes and give them what they need to help them—and you—thrive. In The Longevity Paradox, Dr. Gundry outlines a detailed anti-aging plan to support gut health and live well for decades to come. A progressive take on the new science of aging, The Longevity Paradox offers an action plan to prevent and reverse disease as well as simple hacks to help anyone look and feel younger and more vital.
Based on the new science of aging, Dr. Gundry’s paradigm-shifting book offers a complete plan to revitalize your gut and extend your health span:
- The Microbiome-Longevity Connection: Learn why the microorganisms in your gut are the “oldest” parts of you—and how feeding them correctly holds the key to aging well.
- Diet and Your Mitochondria: Discover the surprising link between your gut bacteria and the mitochondria in your cells, and how their communication controls your energy and vitality.
- The Gut-Brain Axis: Uncover how a healthy gut can help protect you from “diseases of aging” like Alzheimer’s and other forms of cognitive decline.
- Intermittent Fasting Hacks: Implement simple lifestyle hacks, from calorie restriction to intermittent fasting, designed to help you prevent disease, lose weight, and feel younger.
