I guess music copyright laws wouldn’t let Dr Mark Hyman use the most apt title for his latest book but “Young Forever” is close enough!
A pioneer in functional medicine, Hyman’s book adds new insights to the revolution underway regarding how we perceive aging and health, reversing disease and maintaining vitality well into old age.
A revolutionary new way
Functional medicine is a revolutionary new way to understand the underlying causes of disease and how our genes, our environment, and our lifestyle interact to determine health or disease.
Hyman promotes a personalized approach to medicine, focusing on treating the person rather than the disease. This involves understanding how diet, stress, and environmental factors influence gene expression and metabolism.
In Young Forever, Hyman delves into the science of aging, explaining how cellular processes can be influenced for better health outcomes. He provides actionable advice on diet, exercise, stress management, and toxin exposure, aiming to empower individuals to take control of their health destinies. Hyman’s philosophy is that understanding and addressing the root causes of health issues is more effective than merely treating symptoms.
The fork is your most powerful tool to change your health and the planet
Food as Medicine is a key theme, Hyman’s view that chronic diseases are largely foodborne illnesses is a compelling frame. He advocates an approach that recognises healthy, high quality food as a powerful tool for healing and prevention.
The right conditions for your body and soul to thrive
Hyman stresses the importance of community action and policies that support healthy living environments. He believes that the strength and quality of our social networks significantly influence our physical health, as well as our wellbeing.
Young Forever challenges conventional views on aging. The book is filled with insights from longevity research, aiming to provide readers with practical tools to slow
aging and rejuvenate both body and soul.
Key Takeout for Be Wellers
Hyman’s approach is grounded in the belief that getting older is not an inevitable decline. It’s a great complement to Be Well and all we know and do here
