Synopsis

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 1Sleep—Week 2Move—Week 3Release—Week 4Expose—Week 5Soothe—Week 6Think—Week 7Younger 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.

Goodreads review by Roxanne on March 18, 2017

This should be mandatory reading for all women 40 and older. It's not a book about "looking" younger. It's the science behind making yourself younger from the inside ( like strengthening your cells and your telomeres) and stretching your healthspan ; the years from 40-65 when you are healthy, living......more

Goodreads review by Heather E. Miller on April 03, 2017

I loved this book! Despite being about genes and how they can have an effect (or not) on aging, Dr. Sara added a lot humour and personal anecdotes. I bought this book to help me with my health; at age 38 I came down with an undiagnosed illness, and now at 41, I am thirty pounds overweight. Previousl......more

Goodreads review by Lee on May 06, 2018

She did it again! Dr. Sara Gottfried, M.D. never disappoints. Her latest book, Younger: A Breakthrough Program to Reset Your Genes and Reverse Aging, is no exception. In this work she explains why epigenetics no longer validates the “it runs in the family” excuse. She breaks down the effects of vari......more

Goodreads review by Liz on February 23, 2018

I read a lot of health and wellness books. I especially like ones about anti-aging and weight loss/fasting. I thought this book encompassed more than just a 'do this lifestyle' to lose weight. Dr. Gottfried painstakingly fleshed out protocols for various aging systems. Sometimes I disagree with some......more
