Lifespan
Summary
Audio bonus! Includes exclusive conversations with the authors! From an acclaimed Harvard professor and one of Time’s most influential people, this paradigm-shifting audiobook shows how almost everything we think we know about aging is wrong, offers a front-row seat to the amazing global effort to slow, stop, and reverse aging, and calls listeners to consider a future where aging can be treated. For decades, experts have believed that we are at the mercy of our genes and that natural damage to our genes - the kind that inevitably happens as we get older - makes us become sick and grow old. But what if everything you think you know about aging is wrong? What if aging is a disease - and that disease is treatable? In Lifespan, one of the world’s foremost experts on aging and genetics reveals a groundbreaking new theory that will forever change the way we think about why we age and what we can do about it. Aging isn’t immutable; we can have far more control over it than we realize. This eye-opening and provocative work takes us to the front lines of research that is pushing the boundaries on our perceived scientific limitations, revealing incredible breakthroughs - many from Dr. David Sinclair’s own lab - that demonstrate how we can slow down, or even reverse, the genetic clock. The key is activating newly discovered vitality genes - the decedents of an ancient survival circuit that is both the cause of aging and the key to reversing it. Dr. Sinclair shares the emerging technologies and simple lifestyle changes - such as intermittent fasting, cold exposure, and exercising with the right intensity - that have been shown to help lead to longer lives. Lifespan provides a road map for taking charge of our own health destiny and a bold new vision for the future when humankind is able to live to be 100 years young. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Risk Taker
Summary
Being in love with your best friend is hard. Henry’s the odd man out. All his friends are settling down, and his reputation as the hook-up king of London seems more like a curse than a blessing, these days. Especially when it keeps photojournalist Ivo, his best friend and the brilliant man he’s loved since they were 15, at arm’s length. But that’s where Ivo wants him, right? Putting aside his feelings, Henry decides to give up casual sex and look for the real deal. After all, he has no chance with Ivo. Or, does he? Henry is everything to Ivo. Best friend, soul mate, the one person who has never let him down. The one person he is loyal to above everything and everyone. But Henry’s in a box marked best friend, and that’s where Ivo’s kept him for nearly 20 years, despite steadily falling in love with the gentle man. And besides, why would Henry want to date Ivo? Burned out and injured, he’s the walking embodiment of damaged. Distance has helped Henry and Ivo keep a lid on their attraction, but when they find themselves in the same city for a change -Ivo hurt and needing assistance and Henry more than willing to provide it - the two best friends grow closer than ever, forcing a realization and a decision. Risk their friendship for their hearts? Or can they have both? From the best-selling author of Rule Breaker and Deal Maker comes a tender love story about two best friends who are perfect for each other, and always have been...if only they knew it. This is the third book in the Mixed Messages series, but it can be listened to as a stand-alone.

Das Ende des Alterns
Summary
Bis vor kurzem wusste die Wissenschaft nicht, warum und wie Lebewesen altern. Seit einigen Jahren fließen Milliarden in die Altersforschung; mit dem wachsenden Verständnis für die Funktionsweise des Epigenoms lösen sich viele Rätsel um die Entwicklung und die Veränderungen von Zellen und Organismen im Laufe des Lebens. David A. Sinclair ist Professor für Genetik an der Harvard Medical School und Pionier der epigenetischen Medizin. In diesem Buch erklärt er, auf welche Weise man Gesundheit und Lebensdauer steigern kann. Unser Epigenom nimmt über die Jahrzehnte Schaden. Diese Schäden lassen uns altern und machen uns anfällig für Krankheiten. Prof. Sinclair erforscht, wie man die richtigen Gene wieder aktivieren und so den Organismus heilen und verjüngen kann. Seine Forschungsergebnisse eröffnen ungeahnte Möglichkeiten für die Medizin, aber sie können auch zu gesellschaftspolitischen Verwerfungen führen.

The A-Fib Cure
Summary
Atrial fibrillation strikes one in four American adults. Not only do people suffering from this condition suffer from shortness of breath, fatigue, chest discomfort, decreased ability to exercise and do activities of daily living, arrhythmia, and palpitations, but their risk of a stroke, cognitive decline and dementia, heart failure, or premature death also shoots way up. Today, a whole new body of research - one most physicians are unaware of - shows that biomarker and lifestyle optimization may put half the cases of atrial fibrillation into remission without drugs or procedures. And for those in whom these remedies are insufficient or not tolerated, new procedures, in combination with biomarker and lifestyle optimization, may offer lifetime remission from atrial fibrillation and its devastating consequences. In clear, accessible, patient-centric language, Drs. Day and Bunch share their revolutionary approach to treating atrial fibrillation, developed through a combined 53 years working with a-fib patients. The effectiveness of their plan has been proven through countless medical studies. And now, in The A-Fib Cure: Get Off Your Medications, Take Control of Your Health, and Add Years to Your Life, they share that plan with you.
