FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In this paradigm-shifting book from acclaimed Harvard Medical School doctor and one of TIME magazines 100 most influential people on earth, Dr. David Sinclair reveals that everything we think we know about ageing is wrong, and shares the surprising, scientifically-proven methods that can help readers live younger, longer. For decades, the medical community has looked to a variety of reasons for why we age, and the consensus is that no one dies of old age; they die of age-related diseases. Thats because ageing is not a disease - it is inevitable. But what if everything you think you know about ageing is wrong? What if ageing is a disease? And that disease is curable. In THE EVOLUTION OF AGEING, Dr. David Sinclair, one of the worlds foremost authorities on genetics and ageing, argues just that. He has dedicated his lifes work to chasing more than a longer lifespan - he wants to enable people to live longer, healthier, and disease-free well into our hundreds. In this book, he reveals a bold new theory of ageing, one that pinpoints a root cause of ageing that lies in an ancient genetic survival circuit. This genetic trick - a circuit designed to halt reproduction in order to repair damage to the genome -has enabled earths early microcosms to survive and evolve into more advanced organisms. But this same survival circuit is the reason we age: as genetic damage accumulates over our lifespans from UV rays, environmental toxins, and unhealthy diets, our genome is overwhelmed, causing gray hair, wrinkles, achy joints, heart issues, dementia, and, ultimately, death. But genes arent our destiny; we have more control over them than weve been taught to believe. We cant change our DNA, but we can harness the power of the epigenome to realise the true potential of our genes. Drawing on his cutting-edge findings at the forefront of medical research, Dr. Sinclair will provide a scientifically-proven roadmap to reverse the genetic clock by activating our vitality genes, so we can live younger longer. Readers will discover how a few simple lifestyle changes - like intermittent fasting, avoiding too much animal protein, limiting sugar, avoiding x-rays, exercising with the right intensity, and even trying cold therapy - can activate our vitality genes. Dr. Sinclair ends the book with a look to the near future, exploring what the world might look like - and what will need to change - when we are all living well to 120 or more. Dr. Sinclair takes what we have long accepted as the limits of human potential and mortality and turns them into choices. LIFESPAN is destined to be the biggest book on genes, biology, and longevity of this decade.

Review If you ever wondered how we age, if we can slow or even reverse aging, and if we can live a healthy 100 plus years, then David Sinclairs new book Lifespan, which reads like a detective novel, will guide you through the science and the practical strategies to make your health span equal your lifespan, and make your lifespan long and vibrant.– Mark Hyman, MD Director, Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine and #1 New York Times bestselling authorThis is the most visionary book about aging I have ever read. Seize the day–and seize this book!– Dean Ornish, MD, founder & president, Preventive Medicine Research Institute, and New York Times bestselling author of UnDo It!"In this insightful and provocative book that asks questions about how we age, and whether humans can overcome decay and degeneration, Sinclair grapples with some of the most fundamental questions around the science of aging. The result is an elegant and exciting book that deserves to be read broadly and deeply." Author: Siddhartha Mukherjee, Pulitzer Prize–winning and #1 New York Times bestselling author"There are few books that have ever made me think about science in a fundamentally new way. David Sinclairs book did that for me on aging. This is a book that anyone who ages must read."

As Dr. Sinclair reveals, the very genetic mechanism that ages us can also be the answer to living younger, longer. STRONG PROMISE: Dr. Sinclair has reversed his cellular age by over 15 years and believes that the first person to live to 150 is already alive today. This book will be the first to share his unexpected and scientifically proven methods that can help readers avoid typical age-related diseases and live longer. MARKET DEMAND: The anti-aging market is worth nearly billions CUTTING-EDGE SCIENCE: Dr. Sinclair is at the forefront of genetics and anti-ageing research. This book will share the groundbreaking discoveries that have come out of his Harvard lab and share his bold new view on ageing - the Universal Theory of Ageing - that looks to one ancient genetic survival circuit as the root of all age-related diseases. IMPECCABLE CREDENTIALS: Dr. Sinclair is an unparalleled expert when it comes to the genome and ageing. He is one of only 15 global leaders in the world of geroscience. MEDIAGENIC AUTHOR: Dr. Sinclair is a go-to expert on ageing and genes. He has published 153 papers in scientific journals, and his work has been featured on and in 60 Minutes, NBC, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and many others. Hes currently working with PBS to produce a documentary about his work and was featured in an Axios documentary that aired on HBO in November 2018. SURPRISING REVEALS AND ADVICE: Filled with provocative take-aways and facts that you cant find in other books or programs. For instance: cold therapy can turn on anti-ageing genes; exercising just 5 minutes a day can help turn back the clock; foods grown in a stressed environment are the most nutritious and pass on their anti-ageing properties.
