World-renowned cardiac surgeon Steven Gundry 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. How do we solve the paradox of wanting to live a long life—while continuing to enjoy the benefits of youth?
This groundbreaking book holds the answer. In The Longevity Paradox, Dr. Gundry maps out a new approach to aging that is based on supporting the health of the “oldest” parts of us: the microorganisms that live within our bodies. These bugs play a significant role in preventing diseases like cancer, Alzheimer’s, obesity, and arthritis. The good news is, it’s never too late to give your microbes what they need so that they—and you—can thrive.
The Longevity Paradox offers fresh insight on everything from nutrition and product choices to mental health to exercise, arming readers with the secrets to living a happy, healthy, long and vital life.
