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