Feel destined for cellulite, saddle bags, and belly fat? Does your family come from a long line of Alzheimer's, cancer, or heart disease? Will nothing help your aging skin or declining libido or flagging energy? The body is magnificent but it doesn't come with a lifetime warranty or an operating manual. You're the result of millions of years of evolution, but many of the adaptations that helped your ancestors survive are now working overtime to accelerate the aging process. The assumption here is that we are our genes and therefore trapped by the past. The good news is that your genetic code can play a minor role in the way you age. The reality is that 90 percent of the signs of aging and disease are caused by lifestyle choices, not your genes. In other words, you have the capability to overcome and transform your genetic history and tendencies. Physician Sara Gottfried has created a 7-week program that empowers us to make the critical choices necessary to not just look young, but also feel young. Dr. Gottfried builds this book around five key factors that lead to accelerated aging -- the muscle factor, the brain factor, the hormone factor, the gut factor, and the toxic fat factor
