Publisher's Summary

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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Must read tells you why your fat and sick.

This book will change your life if you follow it. almost any sickness you can think of starts in the gut and can be fixed in the gut. All the things that happen to us that we think are part of aging, is becasue our gut isn't being taken care.

This book goes into alot of technical medical and biology, but he explains it in laymens trems so that anyone can follow along. This is going to get another listen and read from me.

amazing!!

I have been a reader and researcher of health and anti aging for over 20 years. Nowhere in one place, have I found a more comprehensive outline of what we can do to live a longer, healthier and happier life! If i could do one thing magically, it would be to have everyone in the world read or listen to this book!!

Too much information for a beautiful way of living

I would like to thank Dr Gundry for having researched and written great books to help us find better health and respecting the planet. A book for children should be written with pictures of our gut buddies and all the ammunition to create and keep our good health.

Awesome.

This book was so informative, I loved every minute. Learning, and actually understanding the reasons for the choices in this program really bring me into a revelation (especially to how our ancestors would have lived). Though, I do not doubt immediately switching my life at age 28 to the program will be tough. I hope to integrate it gradually, with the new knowledge of the direction. Thank you Steven!
