A New York Times Bestseller
Super Agers is a detailed guide to a revolution transforming human longevity. This is a breakthrough moment in the history of human health care. The person making that bold claim is one of the most respected medical researchers in the world, Eric Topol.
Dr. Topol’s unprecedented, evidenced-based guide is about how you and your family and friends can benefit from new treatments coming available at a faster rate than ever. From his unique position as a leader overseeing millions in research funding, Dr. Topol also explains the fundamental reasons—from semaglutides to AI—that we can be confident these breakthroughs will continue. Ninety-five percent of Americans over sixty have at least one chronic disease and almost as many have two. That is the essential problem this revolution is solving. He explains the power of the new approaches to the worst chronic killers—diabetes/obesity, heart disease, cancer, and neurodegeneration—and how treatments can begin long before middle age, and even long after. In thirty years, we will have five times as many people at least one hundred years old and they will be healthier than ever because of the breakthroughs Dr. Topol describes.
The amazing discoveries Topol brings into sharp focus are deeply inspiring about our human potential. We can now realistically see how we can make considerable headway for preventing age-related diseases and may one day be able to slow the body-wide aging process itself.

Solid insights. Very good scientific references.
Fantastic information! I found myself saying OMG this is incredible! Very easy to understand language and the information relating to studies has informed me how to make some changes. Very glad I bought this one!
Great diet important. Gabe to friend. Will het aydio
I have say with honesty that the content of this book is a tough reading starting from Chapter 1 as the author assumes that the reader has a strong academic background in biomedical sciences. Even though I have a PhD in physics and extensive research career in basic physical sciences, I was lost starting in page 4 with terms such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.I kept on reading as the author gives important easily understandable information on lifestyles impact on health in chapter 3.I did read thru the entire book with the intention of going back later on to try to understand the content better after I first learn biology from online courses.It is definitely a biomedical science book, not for beginners like myself.
Finally an authoritative analysis of aging. Every claim is backed by links to the scientific literature.Eric Topol knows his stuff and can be trusted.
