The Lucky Years: How to Thrive in the Brave New World of Health

Description

Bestselling author David Agus unveils the brave new world of medicine, one in
which we can take control of our health like never before and doctors can
fine-tune strategies and weapons to prevent illness. In his first bestseller,
The End of Illness, David Agus revealed how to add vibrant years to your life
by knowing the real facts of health. In this book, he builds on that theme by
showing why this is the luckiest time yet to be alive, giving you the keys to
the new kingdom of wellness. Medicine is undergoing rapid change. In the old
world, you followed general principles and doctors treated you based on broad,
one-size-fits all solutions. In this new golden age, you’ll be able to take
full advantage of the latest scientific findings and leverage the power of
technology to customize your care. Only those who know how to access and adapt
to these breakthroughs—without being distracted by hyped ideas and bad
medicine—will benefit. Imagine being able to get fit and lose weight without
dieting, train your immune system to fight cancer, edit your DNA to avoid a
certain fate, erase the risk of a heart attack, reverse aging, and know
exactly which drugs to take to optimize health with zero side effects. That’s
the picture of the future that you can enter starting today. Welcome to The
Lucky Years. Read more
