Resumen del Editor

From the author of the New York Times best-seller The Plant Paradox comes a groundbreaking plan for living a long, healthy, happy life.

From the moment we are born, our cells begin to age. But aging does not have to mean decline. World-renowned surgeon Dr. Steven Gundry has been treating mature patients for most of his career. He knows everyone thinks they want to live forever, until they hit middle age and witness the suffering of their parents and even their peers. So how do we solve the paradox of wanting to live to a ripe old age - but enjoy the benefits of youth?

This groundbreaking audiobook holds the answer. Working with thousands of patients, Dr. Gundry has discovered that the “diseases of aging” we most fear are not simply a function of age; rather, they are a byproduct of the way we have lived over the decades. In The Longevity Paradox, he maps out a new approach to aging well - one that is based on supporting the health of the “oldest” parts of us: the microorganisms that live within our bodies.

Our gut bugs - the bacteria that make up the microbiome - largely determine our health over the years. From diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s to common ailments like arthritis to our weight and the appearance of our skin, these bugs are in the driver’s seat, controlling our quality of life as we age.

The good news is, it’s never too late to support these microbes and give them what they need to help them - and you - thrive. In The Longevity Paradox, Dr. Gundry outlines a nutrition and lifestyle plan to support gut health and live well for decades to come. A progressive take on the new science of aging, The Longevity Paradox offers an action plan to prevent and reverse disease as well as simple hacks to help anyone look and feel younger and more vital.

confusing

Author struggles to keep his message consistent. One chapter iron is bad, then broccoli is good source of iron and that's good, one chapter we should demonize saturated fat, then consumption of saturated fat linked to reduction of deaths by any cause. Good insights on sources of all aging and that you dont have to have problems with heart, brain and muscles as you age.

Fantastic!!!

The book is great, full of information and extremely easy to understand! The best part is that Dr. Gundry reads the book and you feel as if he is speaking directly to you.

Crony capitalism survival guide

The best survival guide on the planet. Dr Gundry is a modern day white knight.

Finishing the book is beginning an amazing journey

First trip in this life changing journey is the beginning of an adventure that will never end. This is not just a 'book' but a lifestyle course that everyone needs and should benefit from. Absolutely essential to us all. Amazing !

Life changing information

What a pleasure to listen to the author narrate his own work! Dr Gundry's book offers us hope. Grounded in sound science, these rational diet and lifestyle improvements are easily implemented (once you are ready to commit) and they don't have to cost a fortune. Highly recommended. *****

Phenomenal information that can save your life!

Kudos to Dr. Gundry! To divulge the secrets of the gut and its influence over us is incredibly fascinating and quite a shift in medical science. Immense thanks for putting it all together!

MUST READ for anyone interested is longevity and thriving!

The information in this book was so eye-opening and the case studies frankly mind blowing. I love that so many of his recommendations are backed by research data and collaboration with other leaders in the field of longevity. Thank you Steven Gundry MD!!
I plan to give this book to everyone that I care about.

Our bodies do not have to breakdown as we age.

There are two reasons why I was interested in listening to this book. The first reason was that my dental hygienist recommended this book. Her enthusiasm regarding the book was overwhelming. I was anxious to listen to it based on the title. The second reason was that a friend of mine recently died after retiring for a very short time. She was only 62 years old. She ate out a lot, was over weight, and did not exercise. I could see that taking good care of one’s self may very much be important for a long life. So I was very interested to see what Dr. Steven Gundry had to say on the topic of the Longevity Paradox, How to Die Young at a Ripe Old Age.
I really enjoyed listening to the book and I am looking forward to putting his ideas into practice to see if it makes a difference in how I feel. I am 72 years old and have a few issues I could work on to look and feel better. I have upped my vitamin C intake to see if it makes a difference in my crappie skin.

Great book

I enjoyed this book so much I even took nores while listening and finished it way ahead of schedule. Truly a must read for all those who wants to live till a 100

Live Long and... you know the rest...

Dear Reader, If you have aches and pains, if you sigh over the idea of growing old just when life is just getting interesting, or if you are young and wondering why you are overweight, unhealthy, and your mood is less than joyous, READ THIS BOOK! And then do it. This is hard science with an easy demeanor, cheerful advice with no nonsense results. I am taking this on as my new direction for life... me and my sweet Gut Buddies are going to Live Long and Prosper. Thanks Dr. Gundry! (p.s. nice job reading your material...you are a delight to listen to!)
