Kris Verburgh, MD<\/b>, is a researcher at the Center Leo Apostel for Interdisciplinary Studies at the Free University Brussels and is on the faculty of Singularity University, a Silicon Valley think tank devoted to tackling the world\u2019s biggest challenges with emerging technology. Dr. Verburgh researches interventions that can extend healthy life span and combat aging-related diseases through nutrition and state-of-the-art biotechnology. He has established a new scientific discipline, nutrigerontology, which researches diets and guidelines to slow down aging and reduce the risk of aging-related diseases.\u00a0Dr. Verburgh is frequently invited to speak at venues all around the world about new developments and paradigm shifts in medicine, health care, the science of aging, and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
We all know that we age\u2014but do you know exactly\u00a0how,\u00a0<\/i>and\u00a0why<\/i>? And do you wonder what you can do\u2014whatever your age\u2014to slow the process so you can live well, for longer?<\/p>\n
This book comprehensively answers these questions. Medical doctor and polymath scientist Kris Verburgh illuminates the biological mechanisms that make our bodies susceptible to heart attacks, strokes, dementia, diabetes, and other aging-related diseases. We learn about the crucial role of poorly functioning mitochondria, shortened telomeres, proteins and carbohydrates, and more.<\/p>\n
Having explained the aging process at work, Dr. Verburgh then provides the tools we need to slow it down: his scientifically backed Longevity Staircase. This simple yet innovative step-by-step method offers better health and a longer life span through nutrition\u2014currently our best defense in the fight against aging and disease.<\/p>\n
And with each passing day, advances in biotechnology\u2014once the stuff of science fiction\u2014are emerging as part of the \u201clongevity code.\u201d Dr. Verburgh discusses how new types of vaccines, mitochondrial DNA, CRISPR proteins, and stem cells may help us slow and even reverse aging\u2014now and in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":10751,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":""},"product_cat":[28],"product_tag":[],"yoast_head":"\n
