NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

The New York Times bestselling author of The Hormone Cure and The Hormone Reset Diet shows every woman how to create a lifestyle that will help her look great, feel energized, and slow down the effects of aging.

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 body is magnificent but it doesn't come with a lifetime warranty, or an operating manual. You're the result of millions of years of evolution, but many of the adaptations that helped your ancestors survive are now working overtime to accelerate the aging process. The assumption here is that we are our genes and therefore trapped by the past. The good news is that your genetic code—the DNA sequence that is the biochemical basis of heredity—can play a minor role in the way you age.

The scientific reality is that 90 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 7-week program that empowers us to make the critical choices necessary to not just look young, but also feel young.

Dr. Gottfried identifies and 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 7-week program addresses these factors and treats them in an accessible and highly practical protocol and is as follows:

• Feed—Week 1
• Sleep—Week 2
• Move—Week 3
• Release—Week 4
• Expose—Week 5
• Soothe—Week 6
• Think—Week 7

Younger increases not only your lifespan, but also your healthspan. 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.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The scientific reality is that 90 percent of the signs of aging and disease are caused by lifestyle choices, not genes.

Why then do so many of us still feel destined for cellulite, saddle bags, and belly fat? Why do we worry about the long line of Alzheimer’s, cancer, and heart disease in our families? Why do we tolerate sagging skin, flagging energy, and lowered libido as we grow older, writing them off as inevitable? We are not victims of our age. Our symptoms are both controllable and avoidable. There is a way to slow and even reverse the signs of aging, combat genetic illness, control and determine the expression of genes, and even improve health as we age.

The body is magnificent, but it doesn’t come with a lifetime warranty or an operating manual. You’re the result of millions of years of evolution, but many of the adaptations that helped your ancestors survive are now working overtime to accelerate the aging process. The assumption here is that we “are our genes” and therefore trapped by the past. The good news is that our genetic code—the DNA sequence that is the biochemical basis of heredity—can play a minor role in the way we age. In other words, we have the capability to overcome and transform our genetic history and tendencies. Harvard/MIT—trained physician and New York Times bestselling author of The Hormone Reset Diet 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 and live longer.

There are 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. Dr. Gottfried’s seven-week program addresses these factors and delivers an accessible, practical plan to not only increase our life spans, but also our health spans, making it possible to change the way we age, stay younger longer, and remain healthy and energetic for all of our days.

Imagine going through life with clear labels on all the things that age us . . . and on the things that keep us young, energetic, and healthy. Now with Younger by Sara Gottfried, M.D., this possibility has become a reality.
