But what if everything we've been taught to believe about aging is wrong? What if we could choose our lifespan? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this groundbreaking book, Dr. David Sinclair, leading world authority on genetics and longevity, reveals a bold new theory for why we age. As he writes: \"Aging is a disease, and that disease is treatable.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis eye-opening and provocative work takes us to the frontlines of research that is pushing the boundaries on our perceived scientific limitations, revealing incredible breakthroughs--many from Dr. David Sinclair's own lab at Harvard--that demonstrate how we can slow down, or even reverse, aging. The key is activating newly discovered vitality genes, the descendants of an ancient genetic survival circuit that is both the cause of aging and the key to reversing it. Recent experiments in genetic reprogramming suggest that in the near future we may not just be able to \u003ci\u003efeel \u003c\/i\u003eyounger, but actually \u003ci\u003ebecome \u003c\/i\u003eyounger. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough a page-turning narrative, Dr. Sinclair invites you into the process of scientific discovery and reveals the emerging technologies and simple lifestyle changes--such as intermittent fasting, cold exposure, exercising with the right intensity, and eating less meat--that have been shown to help us live younger and healthier for longer.
