Taking us to the cutting edge of the new frontier of medicine, a
visionary biotechnologist and a pathbreaking researcher show how we
can optimize our health in ways that were previously unimaginable.
We are on the cusp of a major transformation in healthcare—yet
few people know it. At top hospitals and a few innovative
health-tech startups, scientists are working closely with patients
to dramatically extend their “healthspan”—the number of
healthy years before disease sets in. In The Age of Scientific
Wellness, two visionary leaders of this revolution in health take
us on a thrilling journey to this new frontier of medicine. Today,
most doctors wait for clinical symptoms to appear before they act,
and the ten most commonly prescribed medications confer little or
no benefit to most people taking them. Leroy Hood and Nathan Price
argue that we must move beyond this reactive, hit-or-miss approach
to usher in real precision health—a form of highly personalized
care they call “scientific wellness.” Using information gleaned
from our blood and genes and tapping into the data revolution made
possible by AI, doctors can catch the onset of disease years before
symptoms arise, revolutionizing prevention. Current applications
have shown startling results: diabetes reversed, cancers
eliminated, Alzheimer’s avoided, autoimmune conditions kept at
bay. This is not a future fantasy: it is already happening, but
only for a few patients and at high cost. It’s time to make this
gold standard of care more widely available. Inspiring in its
possibilities, radical in its conclusions, The Age of Scientific
Wellness shares actionable insights to help you chart a course to a
longer, healthier, and more fulfilling life.
