Built to Thrive (The Six Foundations for Lifelong Health)

Built to Thrive is an evidence-based guide to understanding how the human body ages and how the reader can meaningfully influence that process, and stay off the meds.

Understand the six core foundations of longevity, take responsibility for your health and create your own longevity blueprint to extend your healthy years, without the meds.

Grounded in modern biology, physiology and nutritional science, Built to Thrive is structured around six interconnected foundations that determine how we age. Dr Max Gowland explains the science in a clear and accessible way to empower long-term decision-making, rather than offering short-term fixes or fashionable interventions. These core foundations are MOVEMENT, NUTRITION, SLEEP, STRESS, EXOGENOUS COMPOUNDS, and TRACKING.

Longevity is presented not as the pursuit of extreme lifespan, but with three clear aims:

·       The preservation of strong mental and physical capacity
·       Maintaining good metabolic health for as long as possible
·       Reducing, and ultimately remove the need for medication

Small changes can have a big impact, and it's never too early to start.
