Ageing is not an inevitable and random process - it is both individual and alterable. Do you want to reverse aging and enhance your longevity? Want to know the secret of some people to live well into their 90''s? According to the CDC, the increase in the number of older adults in the United States is unprecedented. In 2019, 54.1 million US adults were 65 or older, representing 16% of the population - or more than 1 in every 7 Americans . And that proportion is only going to increase. The burden on healthcare is going to be unsustainable! Whilst we can''t reverse ageing completely (although some people have reversed the disease processes often associated with ageing), but we can modify the pace and outcomes significantly . There are simple steps we can take to change the rate of aging and this book aims to show you the science behind that process. And it''s never too late! In this fascinating book I look at life processes including healthy ageing and disease - but from a cellular point of view.


With this more diminutive but complex perspective, we see that disease is not a natural consequence of ageing as modern medicine would have you believe. It is, in fact, a metabolic response to the toxicity of our lives; in the air we breathe, the food we eat, the thoughts we think and the relationships we have in this 21st century world. The unprecedented (and accelerating) levels of toxic pollutants in our water and air during the last 50 years, most of which are novel to the body and therefore which it has had no time to adapt to, are destroying our inner world too. It is time to understand the myriad ways in which systems biology is contributing to a new understanding of the body as not composed of separate machine-like organs and tissues but a complex web of interactivity between the inner and outer worlds. In this book you will discover: How to better treat your body to enhance long life - something our ancestors knew well How modern technology is giving us a new lens through which to witness the truly mind-blowing genius of the human body Which innovative technologies are giving us real-time read-outs of our bodies as never before How a new view of ourselves as one of a dynamic system , ideally in harmony or balance with its environment changes our health outcomes What surprisingly simple things you can do to intervene in the process of aging How by adopting a new view of aging, we can transform our health and vitality With chapters on the structure and functions of the cell - with a particular focus on metabolism and mitochondria as the directors of those functions, I then move onto to describing how cells communicate with each other and the results of those messages. I focus on 2 of the most significant diseases of ageing; dementia and cancer before ending with a message of hope as to how using the power of the extended mind, (which includes interactions with the contributions of plants as well as our own thought processes) we can harness the power of nature to redirect the processes towards harmony once more. This book is the culmination of my extensive knowledge gleaned from my career in health research and experience as a therapist My aim is to make the science accessible - uniquely combining the physiological and psychological. This new medicine sees a person as the sum total of all the events of their lives from birth onwards.


Thus seeking to re-balance the body at a cellular level involves the mind and body in a unique choreography which I illuminate from a practical as well as theoretical perspective. Read and be amazed. Your body is a miracle and you deserve to understand and harness it.
