From the #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of Outlive comes a radical exploration of the science of heat adaptation and sweat therapy to tap into the evolutionary superpowers that we've forgotten we possess. What if the key to thriving in a hotter world isn't avoiding the heat--but harnessing it? In Hotwired, bestselling author and science journalist Bill Gifford takes readers on a fascinating exploration of the power of heat to improve our performance and our health. Combining cutting-edge science, personal discovery, and practical insights, Gifford reveals how heat adaptation and heat therapy such as sauna can make us healthier, stronger, and even happier, by unlocking the body's built-in tools to promote longevity and resilience. Through innovative research in evolutionary biology, physiology, and thermoregulation, Gifford uncovers how humans evolved to excel in sweltering conditions--and how we've lost touch with this ancient advantage. He plunges into the steamy world of Finnish saunas, serves as a test subject in cutting-edge heat labs, and tackles a grueling 100-mile bike ride under the blazing Texas sun--to show how temperature extremes can expand our physical and mental limits. He even explores how infrared sauna therapy may fight depression more effectively than medication--and how many people are rediscovering the power of communal wellness through the use of social sauna. Whether you're looking to perform better, extend your healthy lifespan, adapt to a warming planet, or tap into the human connection that forms when we sweat together, Gifford reveals the incredible benefits of reawakening your body's natural adaptability to heat and cold. You'll discover how sweat is more than a cooling mechanism; it's central to peak performance. We were born to sweat, and sweating makes us stronger. Hotwired shows how short-term discomfort transforms into long-term power. It's a thrilling call to reimagine heat--not as a threat, but as a tool for survival and strength.

From acclaimed journalist Bill Gifford comes a roaring journey into the world of anti-aging science in search of answers to a universal obsession: what can be done about getting old? Spring Chicken: Stay Young Forever (or Die Trying) Spring Chicken is a full-throttle, high-energy ride through the latest research, popular mythology, and ancient wisdom on mankind's oldest obsession: How can we live longer? And better? In his funny, self-deprecating voice, veteran reporter Bill Gifford takes readers on a fascinating journey through the science of aging, from the obvious signs like wrinkles and baldness right down into the innermost workings of cells. We visit cutting-edge labs where scientists are working to hack the aging process, like purging senescent cells from mice to reverse the effects of aging. He'll reveal why some people live past 100 without even trying, what has happened with resveratrol, the red wine pill that made headlines a few years ago, how your fat tissue is trying to kill you, and how it's possible to unlock longevity-promoting pathways that are programmed into our very genes. Gifford separates the wheat from the chaff as he exposes hoaxes and scams foisted upon an aging society, and arms readers with the best possible advice on what to do, what not to do, and what life-changing treatments may be right around the corner. An intoxicating mixture of deep reporting, fascinating science, and prescriptive takeaway, Spring Chicken will reveal the extraordinary breakthroughs that may yet bring us eternal youth, while exposing dangerous deceptions that prey on the innocent and ignorant.

We’ve been tantalised by the idea of eternal youth since time immemorial. We’re always asking how we can live longer, and better. Or, to put it another way, why can’t we all be like Madame Calment who cycled till she was 100, smoked till she was 117 and died at the wonderfully old age of 122? Join veteran reporter Bill Gifford for a rip-roaring ride along the trail to the fountain of youth. Meet the scientists who have doubled the life-expectancy of mice by knocking out a single gene, and others like Aubrey de Grey, who claims that we are on the cusp of achieving ‘longevity escape velocity’, and who predicts that our children could live for a thousand years. An intoxicating mixture of deep reporting, fascinating science and sound advice, Spring Chicken will reveal the extraordinary breakthroughs that may yet bring us eternal youth, while exposing the dangerous deceptions that prey on the innocent and ignorant.

A groundbreaking manifesto on living better and longer that challenges the conventional medical thinking on aging and reveals a new approach to preventing chronic disease and extending long-term health, from a visionary physician and leading longevity expert "One of the most important books you'll ever read."--Steven D. Levitt, New York Times bestselling author of Freakonomics Wouldn't you like to live longer? And better? In this operating manual for longevity, Dr. Peter Attia draws on the latest science to deliver innovative nutritional interventions, techniques for optimizing exercise and sleep, and tools for addressing emotional and mental health. For all its successes, mainstream medicine has failed to make much progress against the diseases of aging that kill most people: heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and type 2 diabetes. Too often, it intervenes with treatments too late to help, prolonging lifespan at the expense of healthspan, or quality of life. Dr. Attia believes we must replace this outdated framework with a personalized, proactive strategy for longevity, one where we take action now, rather than waiting. This is not "biohacking," it's science: a well-founded strategic and tactical approach to extending lifespan while also improving our physical, cognitive, and emotional health. Dr. Attia's aim is less to tell you what to do and more to help you learn how to think about long-term health, in order to create the best plan for you as an individual. In Outlive, readers will discover: - Why the cholesterol test at your annual physical doesn't tell you enough about your actual risk of dying from a heart attack.- That you may already suffer from an extremely common yet underdiagnosed liver condition that could be a precursor to the chronic diseases of aging.- Why exercise is the most potent pro-longevity "drug"--and how to begin training for the "Centenarian Decathlon."- Why you should forget about diets, and focus instead on nutritional biochemistry, using technology and data to personalize your eating pattern.- Why striving for physical health and longevity, but ignoring emotional health, could be the ultimate curse of all. Aging and longevity are far more malleable than we think; our fate is not set in stone. With the right roadmap, you can plot a different path for your life, one that lets you outlive your genes to make each decade better than the one before.

Kas tahaksid elada kauem? Ja paremini?"Terve elu" on revolutsiooniline raamat, mis esitab väljakutse traditsioonilisele meditsiinilisele mõtlemisele vananemisest ning tutvustab uut lähenemist krooniliste haiguste ennetamisele ja hea tervise säilitamisele ka vanas eas.Dr Peter Attia on silmapaistev arst ja pika eluea ekspert. Oma raamatus vahendab ta teaduse uusimaid avastusi, jagab innovaatilisi toitumisjuhiseid, kehaliste harjutuste ja parema une saavutamise tehnikaid ning pakub vahendeid emotsionaalse ja vaimse tervise parandamiseks.Kuigi tavameditsiin on saavutanud mitmes valdkonnas palju edu, on see ebaõnnestunud võitluses vananemisega seotud haiguste vastu, mis tapavad enamiku inimesi. Need on südamehaigused, vähk, Alzheimeri tõbi ja teise tüübi diabeet. Tavameditsiin sekkub sageli liiga hilja, pikendades mitte tervena, vaid haigena elatud päevi. Dr Attia usub, et tavameditsiini vananenud raamistik tuleb asendada personaalse ja proaktiivse strateegiaga, kus tegutseme kohe, mitte ei oota, kuni haigus on võimust võtnud.See ei ole biohäking, vaid teadus: hästi põhjendatud strateegiline ja taktiline lähenemine eluea pikendamisele, mis parandab samas meie füüsilist, kognitiivset ja emotsionaalset tervist. Dr Attia eesmärk ei ole niivõrd öelda, mida teha, vaid aidata teil mõelda tervise üle, et luua endale parim võimalik plaan terveks eluks.
