1. Age Later
Healthspan, Life Span, and the New Science of Longevity
This book explains recent scientific discoveries showing that aging is driven by biological pathways that can be slowed, using evidence from genetics, animal studies and human trials; it explores why some people live much longer and healthier lives, discusses drugs and interventions (like metformin and drugs that target mTOR and other aging pathways), and argues that by targeting the biology of aging we can extend healthspan, prevent multiple age-related diseases at once, and reshape medicine and public policy.
