Description

What if everything you think you know about getting older and staying healthy is wrong? Ed Park, M.D., offers the revolutionary idea that disease and aging in humans all arises from a single source: genetic errors caused by shortening of telomeres, or the sequences of DNA at the ends of our chromosomes. Telomeres naturally wear down over time, and thus when cells replicate (as they do all the time in our bodies), they’re creating progressively poorer-quality duplicates of themselves, like making a Xerox of a Xerox of a Xerox. Ultimately, the body deteriorates, resulting in a range of ailments, many of which we associate with aging—from diabetes to hypertension to macular degeneration to cancer.Happily, Ed tells us, it’s possible to slow or even reverse this process and effectively turn back the clock. In The Telomere Miracle, he explains cutting-edge science in a lively style, using illustrations and metaphors ranging from auto parts to superheroes. Then he shows readers how they can intervene in the aging process by boosting the activity of the enzyme telomerase naturally by understanding and optimizing six key areas of breathing, mindset, sleep, exercise, diet, and supplements.Editorial ReviewsReview“I have known Dr. Park since 2010. I met him while working on my book, Bombshell. Reading The Telomere Miracle deepened my understanding of physiology and inspired me. Dr. Park has an open mind and a big heart and that’s what makes his book not only easy, but really fun to read.”— Suzanne Somers, actress, singer, entrepreneur, and New York Times best-selling author“This vividly written book is very interesting not only by its the popular scientific consideration of how we can personally influence our health for the better, but also by its analysis of many facts concerning aging. Highly recommended reading.”— Alexey Olovnikov, Ph.D., scientist and Nobel Prize nominee“Dr. Park’s insights and collaboration have been invaluable to our company. His ability to explain complex systems in a clear way is a unique gift. Telomere erosion is a central driver of illness and aging. This book explains how the process works and also delves deeply into the aspects of lifestyle that can mitigate this damage.”— Stephen Matlin, CEO of Life Length“Over the years that I’ve known Ed Park, his anti-aging prescriptions have proven to be understandable, wise, and life-transforming. His new book explains some very important and complicated systems that can benefit all of us.”— Lily Tomlin, actress, comedian, writer, singer, and producer“Ed Park has written a wide-ranging, scholarly book explaining in detail the many facets of human aging, and the role of telomeres and telomerase in health and wellness.”— Calvin Harley, Ph.D., co-founder and CSO of Telomere Diagnostics, Inc.About the AuthorEd Park, M.D., M.P.H.,,is a telomere and telomerase expert and founder of Recharge Biomedical. He received his undergraduate degree with honors from Harvard University in Anthropology; his M.D. is from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons; and he earned a Masters of Public Health from Columbia University. He completed his internship and residency at Beth Israel Hospital, a teaching hospital of the Harvard Medical School, in 1997. Dr. Park was an attending physician in Obstetrics and Gynecology with Kaiser Permanente in Orange County, California, before practicing solo Ob-Gyn until 2010. In 2007 he became one of the first 20 people in the world to regularly ingest a nutraceutical telomerase activator and has taken no other supplements or medicines for over 10 years. In 2008 he became the first licensed M.D. to prescribe it, and began to report on his patients’ amazing results via blogs and videos. Through this journey, Dr. Park has become a popular speaker, guest, and expert on aging generally and the sole evangelist in what he calls “Telomerase Activation Medicine.” Website: www.rechargebiomedical.comFile Size: 13742 KBPrint Length: 344 pagesPublisher: Hay House; 1 edition (January 23, 2018)http://www.amazon.com/Telomere-Miracle-Scientific-Secrets-Di…
