What? A deep dive in to longevity and the science of senescence, unveiling the latest avenues of research. The book, the latest in several "How not to..." focuses on nutritional and lifestyle approaches to keep aging at bay.


Who? Michael Greger MD is a best selling author and health educator, with a passion for reversing the course of chronic illness and now aging. He and his team run the popular Nutrition Facts website and its associated YouTube channel.


Why? Taking a whole person approach to longevity, the book is informative and dispels some of the myths around an area of health that is often more hearsay than actual science.


So… Invest in this book and save yourself $100s in supplements. That you can then likely spend on longevity and aging testing!

  • To understand longevity, first understand the fundamentals... the pillars of health.

  • Only then attempt immortality, say, by emulating "walking longevity experiment" Bryan Johnson (who happens to be 100% plant-based)
