Publisher's Summary

Medical doctor and researcher Dr. Kris Verburgh is quickly emerging as one of the world's leading research authorities on the science of aging. The Longevity Code is his authoritative guide on why and how we age and on the four most crucial areas we have control over in order to slow down - and even reverse - the aging process.

We learn why some animal species hardly age at all while others age and die very quickly and about the mechanisms at work that slowly but definitely cause our bodies to age, making us susceptible to heart attack, stroke, cancer, pneumonia, and dementia.

Dr. Verburgh devotes the last third of The Longevity Code to what we can do to slow down the process of aging. He concludes by introducing and assessing the wide range of cutting-edge developments in anti-aging technology, the stuff once only of science fiction: new types of vaccines and the use of mitochondrial DNA, CRISPR proteins, stem cells, and more.

Surprising

Brilliant narrator and content that kept me engaged the whole time. Surprisingly entertaining with a lot of "wow I didn't know that" moments; and I have an interest in these topics far more than most so that's saying something.

I appreciated the extension of the research the author has done and the fact that this approach is integrative.
I believe it it give other perspectivex and it's an important reading for those interested in longevity.

Hard No

The book is put together very poorly. First half is contradictory to the second half. The book should of had some scientific accountability with MD slapped on it, but was filled with statements “ I feel..., I like..., buy my other book.” I would compare it to a grade 9 science project that was done the night before it was due.
