About this listen

This program is read by the author.

Uncover the evidence-based science to slowing the effects of aging, from the New York Times bestselling author of the How Not to Die series

When Dr. Michael Greger, founder of NutritionFacts.org, dove into the top peer-reviewed anti-aging medical research, he realized that diet could regulate every one of the most promising strategies for combating the effects of aging. We don’t need Big Pharma to keep us feeling young—we already have the tools. In How Not to Age, the internationally renowned physician and nutritionist breaks down the science of aging and chronic illness and explains how to help avoid the diseases most commonly encountered in our journeys through life.

Physicians have long treated aging as a malady, but getting older does not have to mean getting sicker. There are eleven pathways for aging in our bodies’ cells and we can disrupt each of them. Processes like autophagy, the upcycling of unusable junk, can be boosted with spermidine, a compound found in tempeh, mushrooms, and wheat germ. Senescent “zombie” cells that spew inflammation and are linked to many age-related diseases may be cleared in part with quercetin-rich foods like onions, apples, and kale. And we can combat effects of aging without breaking the bank. Why spend a small fortune on vitamin C and nicotinamide facial serums when you can make your own for up to 2,000 times cheaper?

Inspired by the dietary and lifestyle patterns of centenarians and residents of “blue zone” regions where people live the longest, Dr. Greger presents simple, accessible, and evidence-based methods to preserve the body functions that keep you feeling youthful, both physically and mentally. Brimming with expertise and actionable takeaways, How Not to Age lays out practical strategies for achieving ultimate longevity.

Great information - the PDF IS available!

Dr Greger has improved his narration. The info is invaluable and I’m looking forward to incorporating most of it. For those who can’t find the PDF, click the three circles in the upper right corner on the listen page and find it in the menu there.

Dr. Gregor Did It Again!

I have enjoyed all of Dr. Gregor’s books. If you’re a fan of his work, then you will undoubtedly love this as well. Like all of his books, this one is a whopper! I started it the day it came out and took me nearly two months to finish it. If you are well read in nutrition, it won’t bring earth shaking new information, but I especially enjoyed the end of the book with the real nerdy/science stuff. :) Bottom line: It’s the food! The number one thing you can do to prolong your life is eat a Whole Foods plant based diet. Of course, there’s a lot of nuance provided in the book but the general point remains the same.

very well researched book on longevity 

There are many books on longevity but this one presents a lot more of the background research than other books. Interestingly, the author departs from some of the other longevity experts, particularly on the benefits of some supplements like NMN. His analysis of the drawback of animal foods is of interest, particularly his departure from some of the other experts that put red meat as less desirable than other animal products such as chicken, milk, or eggs. His analysis of amino acids contributions to longevity is also very interesting. I highly recommend this book.

Do you want more choices to live a longer and healthier life?

Insightful research reveals the opportunity to first recognize the pathological norm of the standard American diet and then to develop the autonomy to make food choices that benefit the health and wellbeing of our families.
A must read for anyone who wants a higher quality of life!

Valuable Insights Hindered by Distracting Presentation

The book has a wealth of valuable lessons but the manner of reading was very distracting for me - particularly the pauses between words and where emphasis was applied.

Most Trustworthy Source Re Anti-Aging

This is an amazing work from Dr Michael Greger. The book is based on the reviews of over 13,000 clinical studies by Dr Greger and his team and took more than 3 years to produce. It is perhaps the most comprehensive and trustworthy source in the world today regarding the current knowledge of anti-aging.

Dr. Greger's work is much more credible than the myriads of shills out there promoting all kinds of supplements, substances, ridiculous "therapies" and such to extend healthspan and lifespan. Almost all of the others touting themselves as longevity experts have commercial interests in the things they promote (Think Dr Michael Sinclair for example with NMN for example, which he's trying to classify as a drug to be able to have a lock on supplying it. Besides not being effective, it might actually be counterproductive and shorten your healthspan.). Dr Greger, instead, works from a non-profit standpoint with no commercial interest, and focuses on real clinical science, almost exclusively on studies involving humans.

Read by the author himself, Dr Greger does an excellenbt job in adding an element of entertainment and enjoyment through the very long journey through the current science on aging and longevity.

Using an exclusively clinical science-based approach, focusing on the results from studies involving humans, not only lab animals and microorganisms, is the only credible way to wade through the forest of misinformation out there regarding how to live longer and healthier. Dr Greger and his team provide this for you in this extremely thorough and authoritative publication.
