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.

Easy to listen to

Dr. Gundry makes all the information easy to understand. All I kept asking myself is why isn't this taught in schools. We'd be a much healthier nation.

Dr. Gundry changed my life

The plant paradox changed me from a sick, in pain lectin eating machine to my old, energetic self. This new book is just as good!
I’m alway wary of purchasing “the next book” because sometimes it’s just the same info regurgitated. This book has fresh info about how to live a long and healthy life.
By the way, just had a heart scan and had a zero calcium score and my doc said blood work was “beautiful”. I HIGHLY recommend this book.
Thanks, Dr. Gundry!

Excellentbook

i love this book all materisl is fact and scientifically backed up. Everyone should read this. It will change your life. If not your life, your habits.

Great follow up to Plant Paradox

Pretty technical but the data is fascinating. I truly learned a great deal and a better understanding of how the body works.

Great book.

Love this book. It really has amazing info on it. He couldn’t have narrated it any better. I can’t wait to start the plant paradox.

A lot of info for audio format

This book might be better in printed or e-form as there is so much detailed info. The pdf supplement is helpful but doesn’t include many things to which I would like to refer for review, the exercise program, for example. The science is well rounded by the anecdotal stories for an easy and interesting listen. The author is well suited to presenting the audiobook.

Life changing for me.

Can’t thank you enough Dr. Gundry. This book changed my life in so many ways. Very easy to listen to and understand.

excellent book, packed with information

Very interesting book, highly recommend the listen. Great diversity of information and how the gut ties to all manner of Health. Have been on the keto diet for 19 months with great success, but this book helped full in some extra information I was unaware of very helpful. I listen to it once, then listen to it again with my wife. Now I want my kids to listen to it.
