From the author of the New York Times bestseller The Plant Paradox comes a groundbreaking 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 ageâbut enjoy the benefits of youth?This groundbreaking book holds the answer. Working with thousands of patients, Dr. Gundry has discovered that the âdiseases of agingâ 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 wellâone that is based on supporting the health of the âoldestâ parts of us: the microorganisms that live within our bodies.
Our gut bugsâthe bacteria that make up the microbiomeâlargely determine our health over the years. From diseases like cancer and Alzheimerâs to common ailments like arthritis to our weight and the appearance of our skin, these bugs are in the driverâs seat, controlling our quality of life as we age.
The good news is, itâs never too late to support these microbes and give them what they need to help themâand youâthrive. In The Longevity Paradox, Dr. Gundry outlines a nutrition and lifestyle 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.
