From the author of the New York Times bestseller 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 that 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 book 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.… (meer)

Recommended to me by a medical professional, this book provides information on how to live a longer healthier life. It focuses on a person’s microbiome, which is filled with both good and bad bacteria. He calls the good agents “gut buddies,” probably in an effort to make this material more “digestible” (if you will) for the general public. He offers some of the latest research on digestive health and how it impacts the other parts of the body. He debunks some of the commonly held dietary myths.

Dr. Gundry’s recommendations include limiting animal protein, and avoiding grains, legumes, sugars, and lectins. I have heard some of this advice before, but there are enough differences to make it worth reading. However, much of the evidence is anecdotal and a number of cited studies were not performed on humans. Many of the foods he recommends are expensive and hard to find (assuming you have even heard of them); however, there are a handful of foods that are easy to incorporate into an already healthy diet. It is worth mentioning that Dr. Gundry is selling supplements, but he disclaims that the reader does not need to buy his products to attain a healthy diet.

Listened to this as an audiobook. Very persuasive presentation in how the message is delivered. That is do as I say because I am the doctor and have researched this. In doing a little research myself I found there are other doctors that refute a lot of what he presents because it is not based on pure medical research.

Having said that there are topics Dr.Gundry delves into that make a lot of common sense. A lot having to do with the garbage and poisons or food processing and restaurants throw at us. Not to mention pharmaceuticals, but I will.

Dr. Gundry spends a lot of time on foods does and don'ts and explodes a lot of solid nutritional lore primarily when it comes to the values of fruits. And many other foods we may have taken for granted to be good for us, he contends really aren't.

Aside from just food topics he gets into his ideas on fasting and modified forms of fasting that sound plausible, but how many of are really ready to get on board. And finally he talks about peripheral health like lighting, sleep, and exercise.

All of this rolled out and a truly lengthy process designed to add years to our lives and the ultimate goal of growing old without being old. Will it work? It's up to each of us to decide on our own and see if he was right somewhere down the road. ( )

He makes you want to believe, however there are two many contradictions in what he presents. That said this is a great book to learn about persuasion. The way he builds off of a few truths and what we want to hear. From that angle it was great. ( )
