Invincible

Defy Your Genetic Destiny to Live Better, Longer

Brought to you by Penguin.

What determines how long, and how well, we live? Many of us assume we should look to our family history for clues – will we have a heart attack at fifty like Dad or develop Type 2 diabetes at seventy like Mum? It makes sense that we’d inherit the same path to ageing.

Dr Florence Comite is a clinician-scientist and the leading expert in healthy longevity, who uses precision medicine to help her patients reverse symptoms of biological ageing. Her clinical research reveals that your genes do not have to be your destiny. Even into middle-age, you can reverse the unhealthy trajectory you’re on, live disease- and pain-free, active and happy, and recapture the energy of your twenties.

Invincible offers a comprehensive plan to improve readers’ health and longevity. Dr Comite shows readers how to become students of our own physiology, using assessment tools developed in her practice to identify our unique health trajectory and understand the specific proactive interventions that will stop and reverse biological ageing, metabolic disorders, heart disease and memory decline. Unhealthy ageing is not inevitable; this book will show you how to become invincible.
