Physician and researcher Kris Verburgh is quickly becoming one of the world's leading experts in the science of aging. The Longevity Code is Dr. Verburgh's definitive guide to the question of why and how we age — and for the four most important areas we can influence to slow down or even reverse the aging process.

We learn why some animal species barely age while others age and die very quickly, and learn the mechanisms that cause our bodies to age slowly but surely and make us susceptible to heart attacks, strokes, cancer, pneumonia and/or dementia.

Dr. Verburgh dedicates the last third of The Longevity Code to asking what we can do to slow down the process of aging. Finally, he presents the wide range of the latest developments in anti-aging technology that were previously only found in science fiction: new types of vaccines, the use of mitochondrial DNA, CRISPR proteins, stem cells, and much more.
