Younger You: Reverse Your Bio Age and Live Longer, Better

I think people who give this book a poor review completely miss the point. There has never before been actual DNA testing that proves that we can reduce our biological age with diet and lifestyle changes alone, no medication needed. I’m not as concerned about age as I am about age-related disease.Following this program, we’re less likely to incur age-related diseases, such as cancer, Alzheimer’s and heart ailments. Yes, I’ve heard of many of these interventions before, but I love the fact that we now know the best ones – a clear, concise list. This PROOF compels me to make it happen much more than theoretical diet changes; the “shoulds” that I sometimes do and sometimes don’t. I’ve always been overwhelmed by the “shoulds” because they seem so infinite that I just want to bury my head in the sand. This book, although packed with science, brings relief in its simple, doable actions.Sure, some of the more educated out there know about methylation, but I never quite understood it and its importance. Thankfully, this book is for laypeople, like me. I’ve never understood epigenetics, either. Now I understand that means that I can turn off certain genes, so I’m not as doomed to inherit my paternal grandparents’ heart problems and my maternal grandparents’ cancers… and I can do it with food, moderate exercise and meditation... uh, excuse me but, WOW! The research behind this book is very exciting, ground-breaking and, I feel, the beginning of a new era in health. I’m gratefully trading in my persistent, debilitating overwhelm for a new, clear pathway to health… ahhhhhh (relief + joy)!

Great book with lots of evidence to back up the claim that there is much that can be done to affect DNA methylation and how our genes are expressed. Love that the plans are adaptable to different dietary needs and preferences as well as goals. Includes a wealth of useful information regarding other lifestyle factors that are critical for optimizing longevity and health. A great read both for those who are new to the subject as well as for those who are well-read but maybe struggling to put all the information together. This book brings light and clarity - and a practical, step-by-step plan for making it work.

I love this book because it's not fluff. The originator of the science and the translator on the page, it's a unique opportunity to learn about the opportunity to improve our biological age directly from the source. I absolutely loved this book from Dr. Kara and hope it'll be followed by a cookbook at some point, as the recipes and food hacks were such good inspiration for how to build a healthier kitchen!

I am so excited to take a deep dive into this book. I already live a very healthy lifestyle but am looking to make some additional modifications through this book. The recipes look amazing and I am so interested is slowing down the aging process. Thanks Dr Fitzgerald for writing this and doing all the amazing research.

Just received my new book, was totally amazed. When you get up in age the information in this book really starts to matter big time. However, my 88 yr old sister just grabbed my book and now I have to buy it again! No problem really worth every penny!
