About this item

Bestselling author Dr. Mark Hyman presents the definitive guide for reversing disease, easing pain, and living younger longer.

Aging has long been considered a normal process. We think disease, frailty, and gradual decline are inevitable parts of life. But they’re not. Science today sees aging as a treatable disease. By addressing its root causes we can not only increase our health span and live longer but prevent and reverse the diseases of aging—including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and dementia.

In Young Forever, Dr. Mark Hyman challenges us to reimagine our biology, health, and the process of aging. To uncover the secrets to longevity, he explores the biological hallmarks of aging, their causes, and their consequences—then shows us how to overcome them with simple dietary, lifestyle, and emerging longevity strategies. You’ll learn how to optimize your body's key longevity switches; reduce inflammation and support the health of your immune system; exercise, sleep, and de-stress for healthy aging; and eat your way to a long life, featuring Dr. Hyman's Pegan Diet. You’ll also get exclusive insight from Dr. Mark Hyman on which supplements are right for you, where the research on aging is headed, and so much more.

With dozens of science-based strategies and tips, Young Forever is a revolutionary, practical guide to creating and sustaining health—for life.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

This book isn’t too long in page, but very long on information. I met Dr Hyman at Canyon Ranch many yeas ago and found him so inspiring. He is still inspiring and knowledgeable without being too complicated. I look forward to trying everything he recommends.

4.0 out of 5 stars Poor math
Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2024
On page 72 of Young Forever, Dr. Hyman says there are 37 billion billion chemical reactions every second in the human body. The good Dr. goes on to say '' That`s twenty seven zeros!'' Well, I only count eighteen zeros(a billion billion ??) 9 zeros + 9zeros = 18. That`s 37,000,000,000,000,000,000. Dr. Hyman`s poor math calls into question every statistic he quotes (or makes up) after that. That said, he makes some very good points concerning carbs and etc. I`m sure he means well. His ideas on exercise, diet and supplements are very helpful.

Thank God for Dr. Mark Hyman, a physician who lives the Hippocratic Oath to the max and shares it with us! A real champion of helping us taking control of our own health and maximizing our Lifespan.. this book must be read by everyone wanting to protect their Health and live Life with vitality, free of disease as much as possible... understanding that our 'Vehicles' are made to go many more miles than the collective consciousness based on older paradigms of medicine would have us believe... this is a 'break out of the box' wake-up call... simple adjustments to live more naturally and fully.. stretching our youth to new milestones!

3.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly advocates for a Kidney test which is known for inaccuracy
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2024
The Book is packed with a lot of excellent info. But what surprised me and in fact upset me was in his guide for testing that he advocates for his own company: 499 for a complete panel. The Test includes a kidney test based on Bun and Creatinine (Page 175). These tests base your estimated GFR on Creatinine which is a byproduct of your muscles using creatin for operation. While Creatinine is harmless the kidney removes it none the less. But studies have shown that for intense athletes, body builders etc. the test produces estimates that are incorrectly way negative since these people produce way more creatinine than the average public. In addition, many athletes and gym enthusiasts use a supplement called creatin which further destroys the results of these tests. What is more surprising is that there is a cutting edge kidney test that is far more accurate and not subject to these confounding variables. It is called Cystatin-C. Despite the author's claim of being on the cutting edge The author never mentions this far superior Kidney test.

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative, Step-By-Step Program

Thank you @littlebrownspark and @netgalley for my advanced eCopy of this fantastic book by one of my favorite authors, @drmarkhyman. My thoughts are my own.

“Learn how to get biologically YOUNGER while growing physically OLDER!”

I have been reading the work of Dr. Mark Hyman for years, so I was very excited to get early access to this book. Dr. Hyman has a great way of explaining scientific/medical processes in a way that the reader without a medical degree can easily understand.

This well-written and well-researched book is divided in three parts. In the first part, Dr. Hyman explains “How and Why We Age”. Yes, some paragraphs may take a second reading as you absorb what he is explaining, but I believe the explanation is critical to understanding the WHY of the program! (And, the explanation is what ultimately motivates me to make changes in my eating, movement, and lifestyle habits!) Dr. Hyman explains the breakdown of systems in our body causing chronic disease and inflammation. He discusses obesity and lack of sleep, as well as other issues.

Before you get overwhelmed with what may already be wrong with your body, in Part 2, Dr. Hyman discusses “Optimizing Your Health Span and Life Span”. He explains how you can begin to eat, move, and improve your lifestyle in order to balance your biological systems and activate your repair systems.

In Part 3, Dr. Hyman explains the Forever Young program. Dr. Hyman calls this is your step-by-step guide to “diagnose the imbalances in your system and to implement a radical change in your health.” (p. 163) Dr. Hyman discusses foods, the best diet, supplements, and more. Your daily habits influence how you age and with this program you can begin today to take steps to reverse this.

I am implementing these changes in my life today!
I can’t say enough how much I enjoyed this book and truly plan to implement changes in my daily habits.
