Publisher's summary

“Essential reading for COVID times. . . . The tool we all need right now: a smart, straightforward guide that speaks directly to the question: How can I build a strong immune system? The book is packed with clear, actionable advice for building a strong immune system, losing weight, feeling younger and aging beautifully.”—Yahoo! Life

How you age is up to you. And it’s easy to take charge.

From the renowned integrative doctor Frank Lipman comes a radically simple program to reverse the symptoms we reflexively call “normal aging,” including feeling achy, stiff, sluggish, weak, and vulnerable to chronic illness. This improves not only our life span but, more importantly, our health span—our quality of life and how we feel.

Built on a series of lifestyle changes that energize the body and build and strengthen its immune system, The New Rules of Aging Well is based on ancient wisdom backed up by science: Eat less and practice intermittent fasting. Do 20 minutes a day of something meditative. Switch to gentler workouts, but move as much as possible. Unlock the incredible power of mushrooms. Grow your tribe. Walk barefoot when you can.

The result: a rejuvenated you that looks great and feels healthy, happy, sexy, agile, and strong.

“Immune competence and responsiveness, collectively referred to as immune resilience, has emerged as one of the most fundamental metrics defining a healthy human. And while immune resilience generally declines with age, it is now clear that our lifestyle choices profoundly influence this decline, even to the extent of rejuvenating the competency of immune function. In Dr. Lipman’s The New Rules of Aging Well, you will gain the tools to realize this goal, while you regain strength and vitality as well. This is profound information, validated by our most up-to-date research, that will undoubtedly pave the way for your health and longevity.”—David Perlmutter, MD, author of the New York Times bestsellers Grain Brain and Brain Maker

“Dr. Frank Lipman has done it again. This OG of functional medicine has been my go-to health expert for over two decades, and for good reason: in the overcrowded digital world of wellness, he always sets it straight and is always on the cutting edge. Now he tackles the nuances of aging with clarity—and I trust every word.”—Bobbi Brown

straight to the point.

This book was written to be understood by everyone. It's a very easy ready with helpful tips that you may or may not have known. Those who are neck-deep into health and fitness might not learn anything new but can use this as a refresher or as a recommendation to those who are trying to get into a healthier lifestyle.

A Must Read

This is a self help book that incorporates almost all of the great practices that I have read and discovered over the years in a concise format. Buy it in audible and in book form and then purchase copies for those you love. It’s EXCELLENT!

Good basic health info; too much product placement.

Good basic health info; too much product placement. Narrator reads well. If you use the info for changes to diet and lifestyle this book can be helpful. As much as possible, avoid supplements being sold here as a easy quick fix and eat the fresh whole foods noted that contain the nutrients discussed. Don’t substitute one regimen of pills for another. Don’t make this book another stressor in your life. Summary: eat less, eat whole food, get exercise, get out and see people, get good sleep, find allies. This book can help but it’s really mostly a list of all the things you already know you should be doing. Read this book if you think it will motivate you to action. The words in themselves won’t help you.

The book was interesting & helpful.

I have tried many of the down to earth suggestions and they worked well. Some suggestions were a little out there for me to embrace.

Amazing read!

A Comprehensive Program to Improve your Life by Strengthening the Immune System, Liveliness and Overall Health. The result of putting the principles of this book into action could be feeling healthy, happy, and agile. A rejuvenated you!

Excellant information, and well delivered.

If only everyone could read this book and follow its advice, we would have a healthier and happier world.

Great ! Lots of info

This is very well put together and clearly presented. Great book! A lot of information and to the point recommendations. I only wish it came with a PDF of all the recommendations, lists or links as it’s hard to take notes off an audiobook.
