In my bestselling books “The Fat Flush Plan” and “Radical Metabolism,” I discuss the neglected and overlooked weight-gain factors, beyond just diet and exercise, which are major contributors to our current obesity epidemic. I target liver and gallbladder congestion, sluggish thyroid, excess inflammation, yeast overgrowth, and hormonal imbalance as potent factors “weighing us down” and which also lead to accelerated aging.

Now, in “Radical Longevity,” I turn my attention to the multiple factors and underlying Rules that play a pivotal role in longevity. My 7 New Rules for Radical Longevity are:

New Rule #1: Immunity Is Everything

New Rule #2: Take On Toxic Overload

New Rule #3: Stop AGEs (Advanced Glycation End Products)

New Rule #4: Free Up Fascia for Youthful Movement

New Rule #5: Activate Cellular Rejuvenation

New Rule #6: Mind Your Minerals

New Rule #7: Optimize the Gut-Brain Connection

We live in a wondrous yet still challenging time. Just consider that Alzheimer’s is the fastest-growing disease in our day and age, more people have cancer now than did in 1971 at the start of the “war on cancer,” and the number of individuals with diabetes and prediabetes is more than the entire population of our grandfathers’ era.
