“The breakthrough book we’ve been waiting for on . . . epigenetics and aging . . . [A] stunning achievement by one of our wisest and most thoughtful . . . physicians.” —Mark Hyman, M.D., New York Times–bestselling author of The Blood Sugar Solution and director of the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine
Feel destined for cellulite, saddle bags, and belly fat? Does your family come from a long line of Alzheimer's, cancer, or heart disease? Will nothing help your aging skin or declining libido or flagging energy? This book is for you.
The assumption is that we are our genes. The scientific reality is that ninety percent of the signs of aging and disease are caused by lifestyle choices, not your genes. In other words, you have the capability to overcome and transform your genetic history and tendencies. Harvard/MIT-trained physician Sara Gottfried, M.D. has created a revolutionary seven-week program that empowers us to make the critical choices necessary to not just look young, but also feel young.
Dr. Gottfried builds this book around the five-key factors that lead to accelerated aging —the muscle factor, the brain factor, the hormone factor, the gut factor, and the toxic fat factor. The seven-week program addresses these factors and treats them in an accessible and highly practical protocol and is as follows:Feed—Week 1Sleep—Week 2Move—Week 3Release—Week 4Expose—Week 5Soothe—Week 6Think—Week 7
Dr. Gottfried's program makes it possible to change the way you age, stay younger longer, and remain healthy and vibrant for all of your days.
