Wouldn't you like to live longer? And better? In this operating manual
for longevity, Dr. Peter Attia draws on the latest science to deliver
innovative nutritional interventions, techniques for optimizing
exercise and sleep, and tools for addressing emotional and mental
health.
For all its successes, mainstream medicine has failed to make much
progress against the diseases of aging that kill most people: heart
disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and type 2 diabetes. Too often,
it intervenes with treatments too late to help, prolonging lifespan at
the expense of healthspan, or quality of life. Dr. Attia believes we
must replace this outdated framework with a personalized, proactive
strategy for longevity, one where we take action now, rather than
waiting.
This is not "biohacking," it's science: a well-founded strategic and
tactical approach to extending lifespan while also improving our
physical, cognitive, and emotional health. Dr. Attia's aim is less to
tell you what to do and more to help you learn how to think about
long-term health, in order to create the best plan for you as an
individual. In Outlive, readers will discover:
* Why the cholesterol test at your annual physical doesn't tell you
enough about your actual risk of dying from a heart attack.
* That you may already suffer from an extremely common yet
underdiagnosed liver condition that could be a precursor to the chronic
diseases of aging.
* Why exercise is the most potent pro-longevity "drug"—and how to begin
training for the "Centenarian Decathlon."
* Why you should forget about diets, and focus instead on nutritional
biochemistry, using technology and data to personalize your eating
pattern.
* Why striving for physical health and longevity, but ignoring
emotional health, could be the ultimate curse of all.
Aging and longevity are far more malleable than we think; our fate is
not set in stone. With the right roadmap, you can plot a different path
for your life, one that lets you outlive your genes to make each decade
better than the one before.

From an internationally recognized integrative physician, a
thorough guide to fertility that encompasses all aspects of female
well-being to help women prepare their bodies for easy conception,
pregnancy, and the delivery of healthy babies.
The increase in environmental toxins, processed foods, and stress,
as well as the advancing ages at which couples seek to have
children, have made it more difficult for women to conceive. In "Be
Fruitful," Dr. Victoria Maizes, an expert on women's health and the
executive director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine,
delivers all the information women and their partners need in order
to conceive with ease and confidence, and to bear healthy children.
Warm, friendly, and hands-on, "Be Fruitful" offers a comprehensive
self-assessment to help identify any potential physical, emotional,
and practical roadblocks that may interfere with conception, as
well as clear and easy-to-follow dietary, supplemental, and
exercise recommendations proven to increase optimal fertility. Dr.
Maizes details how nutrition, mind-body practices, elimination of
environmental toxins, and traditional Chinese medicine can all
contribute to a successful pregnancy.
Unique in its integrative approach, "Be Fruitful" acknowledges that
wellness comes from caring for the entire person--not just the
physical body--a crucial factor for the countless women trying to
conceive and committed to transforming their overall health.
