A New York Times bestselling author and cutting-edge health expert shares her nutrition-based plan for healthy, vibrant longevity.

Welcome to a Radical new view of aging—one that defies conventional wisdom and redefines the aging process with resilience, vitality and grace. You’ll discover the most advanced program that staves off the effects of aging, which includes how to release a lifetime of accumulated toxins and deficiencies—and how to correct and reverse their effects with targeted foods, critical lifestyle tweaks, peptides and signaling molecules for cellular regeneration.

With her trademark no-nonsense style, Ann Louise Gittleman champions a paradigm shift in which your biology is not your biography. By utilizing epigenetics to slow and reverse many of the most worrisome aging conditions, you can preserve your “youth span” and enhance your immunity, heart, brain, muscles, joints, skin, and hair. You can even revitalize your sex drive!

Based on decades of experience and research in breakthrough age-defying and restorative medicine, Radical Longevity will forever change what you think you know about aging. Inside you’ll discover:

The most essential vitamins, minerals and hormones to reclaim youthful immunity
The transformative Radical Longevity Power Plan and 5 Day Radical Reset to soothe the gut and revitalize the liver
How to manipulate your metabolism
The Cinderella mineral to help prevent memory loss and reverse Alzheimer’s
How to make your body produce up to fifty percent more “Youth Defying Stem Cells”
The #1 brain-aging hazard hiding in your home, and how to activate your best self-defense
The unexpected “forbidden” food that makes your skin, joints, eyes, arteries, and brain feel years younger and much more…

Radical Longevity casts a big and bold new vision of aging that will give you freedom from accepting the limitations that growing older once meant. Look more youthful, feel more agile, and think more clearly as you enter the Radical new era of healthy aging!

I found this book to be very helpful. I've read a lot of similar books, but I found this one to have a lot of cutting edge/useful information that I hadn't read elsewhere. I read it once and now I'm reading it again and getting a lot of use out of my highlighter! Would definitely recommend this book for anyone interested in learning more about health and longevity!!

Radical Longevity is so detailed and gives solutions and advice for many major toxic issues we are dealing with on the daily. I’m slowly making the changes and found real benefits to my personal health. Good hacks for if you can’t completely change but want to minimise damage.

Es un libro tremendamente práctico y muy bien estructurado.
Algunas recomendaciones de vitaminas se repiten con dosis distintas, pero en general me ha parecido un libro muy bueno, una lectura entretenida y con consejos aplicables, ya sea por tu cuenta (alimentación, estilo de vida) o para consultar con un profesional de la salud alineado con estos temas (suplementación).

Peu de nouvelle information, tout se vase sur les compléments alimentaires

Reviewed in France 🇫🇷 on August 7, 2021

Si c’est le premier livre que vous lisez sur la longévité, vous allez probablement apprendre beaucoup. Mais si vous avez déjà lu d’autres livres, il n’apporte absolument rien de nouveau, au contraire, beaucoup de notion sont déjà dépassées et vieillies.
De plus, à écouter l’auteure, il faudrait prendre pres de 30 compléments alimentaires tous les jours.
Je suis déçue de cette lecture et ne la recommande pas. À côté, les livres des auteurs comme David Sinclair et Dave Asprey m’ont beaucoup plus appris.

A health journalist reviews RADICAL LONGEVITY by Ann Louis Gittleman

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 17, 2021

BOOK REVIEW: I COULDN’T HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF
RADICAL LONGEVITY, Ann Louise Gittleman, author
Publication date: May, 2021; 326 pages, Hachette Books.
Reviewer: Bill Sardi, Knowledge of Health, Inc.
Even the press releases regarding this landmark book doesn’t do it justice. You can’t get past the first page without saying: “I didn’t know that.” Lots to learn… did you know that after age 60 your risk of death doubles every eight years? Page 244. The book is about what you can do about that.
It’s a how-to book. And it spells out all the details, helps to answer your questions, offers encouragement (yes, you CAN reverse aging), even provides recipes if you are a foody, and an extensive list of dietary supplements (and sources), plus health habits and toxins to avoid. And it’s written by the reigning queen of healthy nutrition, Ann Louise Gittleman.
Now, now, don’t be thinking she crowned herself, this book reviewer did. And it’s because Ann Louise has faced many of the health challenges in the book herself. Hey, anybody can cite chapter and verse of scientific studies and never really know if a remedy or recipe lives up to its reputation. Ann Louise does, firsthand.
I like a book you can start at the end, thumb through, look at the charts and graphics and get an idea of what the book is about. This is one of those books. You will practically earn a diploma in health promotion by the time you read through the entire text. And that puts you ahead of most doctors, since they are schooled in disease and treatment, but not health maintenance.
For me, the best chapters are “Immunity Is Everything,” and “Free-Up Fascia For Youthful Movement.” But you won’t know what you are missing if you don’t read it from cover to cover.
First, begin by taking the LONGEVITY ASSESSMENT at the beginning of the book.
Without revealing too much, here are some tips from the book:
• 8,895 international units: That’s the amount of supplemental vitamin D you need every day. Page 19-20
• Getting enough sleep is essential for healthy bone marrow, where stem cells are made. Page 21
• Breathing dry air is the major reason for respiratory tract infections. Humidity is important. Page 22
• Your body stockpiles minerals as you age. There are ways to get rid of excesses. Page 25
• If you are exposed to fluoride or bromide, your thyroid gland will make the wrong kind of thyroid hormone. Page 26.
• BPA, dioxin, atrazine herbicide, plastics (phthalates), rocket fuel (perchlorate in tap water), fire retardants, lead, arsenic, mercury, glycol ethers, pesticides and non-stick cookware represent the “dirty dozen,” environmental toxi-chemicals. How to get rid of all of the above. Pages 31-34.
• About 32% of Americans test positive for parasites. Page 34
• The health benefits of sulfur-rich foods, like asparagus, onions, garlic and eggs. Page 40.
• Ever heard of dishwashing mold? That’s on page 41.
• Think of replacing your microwave oven with a steam convection oven. Page 46. Slow cookers are also extolled. Page 57.
• About a third of Americans have this, and there is no prescription medicine for it - - - fatty liver. Pages 52 & 86.
• Bacon has a staggering amount of an aging byproduct. Page 54.
• Learn what your fascia is. Page 60.
• Your body “remembers” trauma. Page 61.
• What the mischaracterized “forbidden fat” – omega-6 oils actually are, and why they are essential for life. Page 69.
• You’ll likely pay the price for being dehydrated in your life. Learn how to hydrate. Page 72.
• There is a dietary supplement that activated 9-fold more longevity genes than a calorie-restricted diet or the widely heralded red wine molecule resveratrol. Page 75.
• Japan stopped using copper plumbing. What happened? Page 79.
• How to bind copper and remove it from the body. Page 82.
• When your liver accumulates liver spots they back up into your skin. Page 86.
• Over 90 percent of your brain chemicals are created in your gut. Page 91.
• Roughly 80 percent of your immune system is in your digestive tract. Page 91.
• Loneliness is a problem if you want to stay healthy as you age. Page 94.
• The 5-day Radical Reset. Page 123.
• The Live Longer cocktail. Page 132.
• What is lipofuscin and why does it accumulate in our bodies as we age? Page 168.
• Avoid stimulants after 3 PM. Page 177.
• Your doctor never told you about homocysteine, did he/she? Page 185.
• The Great Heart Attack Imitator. Page 189.
• Will your bones end up like chalk or ivory? Page 200.
• We lose 6 pounds of muscle for every ten years of life. Page 202.
• Sugar is a calcium robber (really!). Page 204.
• Eczema? Psoriasis? You may be a quart low. Page 217.
• Do you want your body to be alkaline or acid? (Don’t make a mistake here). Page 226.
• Why men AND women want healthy testosterone levels. Page 232.
• You suffered for years with low libido and then you discovered DHEA. Page 236.
• Promote production of your own stem cells. Page 247.
Here’s another health axiom. My guess: for every ten pages you read of Ann Louise Gittleman’s book RADICAL LONGEVITY, you will gain another year of life. Don’t miss a page.

Managing Your Health for Longevity - Ideas from A to Z

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 11, 2021

Verified Purchase

Based on her latest book, Ann Louise Gittleman shows no signs of slowing down in her early 70s. She has been busy reading material on health issues that often occur as we age, especially in the “third trimester of our lives.” Her goal with Radical Longevity is to give the reader strategies that answer your body’s “distress calls immediately and effectively” before they progress into disease and illness. She covers a broader range of topics than her other books I am familiar with, as she covers such areas as our skin, brain, bones, hair, and heart. She has updated material she covered before on toxins, parasites, copper, and cell phones. She looks at “factors” and “rules” that should be addressed if we want be proactive and not just tolerate health changes that occur as we age.

Fortunately, Ann Louise has a self-diagnostic quiz early on so you can concentrate on the areas you want to target within the book. Otherwise, looking at all her suggestions could be overwhelming, if you haven’t worked with a health care professional on supplements, food and health habits or aren’t familiar with her other books and what she says on social media. She includes some recipes as part of her plan, but unfortunately, there is no nutritional information included for those of us who like to track our foods on an app.

I appreciated her “selected references,” but would have liked some others to determine where she got some of her recommendations I haven’t heard about, such as what she says about kombucha. Don’t be surprised with some of her controversial suggestions that aren’t mainstream and haven’t appeared in major medical journals. You might not agree with everything she says, but there is some food for thought that may help you. I would assume her followers won’t be surprised at what she suggests, but to the traditional medical establishment, some of her recommendations, without their references, may be suspect to them.

One chapter especially stood out to me as being really valuable. Her chapter on optimizing the gut-brain connection is really needed for those facing their later years. She covers the dangers of suppressing your emotions, and how this behavior is related to grief and pain. She introduced me to the work of the late neuroscientist Dr. Candace Pert as part of this discussion. She also mentions the temporary heart condition known as Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (broken-heart syndrome). This is the first book where I have seen it written up for the average person to understand. She mentions its connection with grief, but I am also familiar with it happening after intense stress that is unconnected with the loss of a loved one.
I also appreciated what she had to say in her brain section about Alzheimer’s disease, anticholinergic substances, and memory loss. I would have liked a little more research material covered about keeping our eyes healthy, since that is such a huge area of concern for many in their later years.

Ann Louise has many suggestions for putting her Radical Longevity plan to work so we can “put the brakes on the aging process.” It may take some of our stimulus checks to integrate changes in our house environment, foods, supplements, and other areas she suggests for our optimal health. To her credit, she has a lot of material for her readers to ponder and review as to what they feel is appropriate to put into action in the future.

Finally, this book is good for those who want to manage their health and not sit back and wait for something bad to happen to them. Those who know Ann Louise from her other books and/or are 50+ may welcome non-medication suggestions and her take on increasing longevity. Thanks to NetGalley and the Hachette Book Group for allowing me to read an advance copy of the book in exchange for an honest, unbiased opinion.
