In this book, Robert M. Sapolsky delves into the fascinating world of stress and its impact on our bodies. He explains why zebras, unlike humans, rarely suffer from stress-related illnesses. Sapolsky combines cutting-edge research with practical advice and engaging anecdotes to illustrate how prolonged stress can cause or intensify a range of physical and mental afflictions, including depression, ulcers, colitis, and heart disease. The book also provides essential guidance on managing stress responses and offers new insights into how stress affects sleep, addiction, anxiety, and personality disorders[3][4][5].
In *Young Forever*, Dr. Mark Hyman challenges readers to reimagine their biology, health, and the process of aging. The book explores the biological hallmarks of aging, their causes, and their consequences, and provides simple dietary, lifestyle, and emerging longevity strategies to overcome them. It covers topics such as turning on longevity switches, reducing inflammation, supporting the immune system, exercising, sleeping, and de-stressing for healthy aging, and features Dr. Hyman's Pegan Diet. The book aims to help readers increase their health span, prevent and reverse diseases like heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and dementia, and live a longer, healthier life.

Biohacking is all the rage, but if you’re not doing it correctly, you could wind up causing more harm than good. Overexercising, undereating, and eating too many superfoods can have the reverse effect as intended, causing nutrient deficiencies, weight gain, and cortisol depletion. Sometimes less is more, and by toggling our biohacking tools at the right time and with the right intensity, we can get closer to the results we want.
I’m excited to sit down with my good friend, Dave Asprey, to talk about how to upgrade our metabolism, stress response, strength, and brain health while radically reducing the amount of effort it takes to get there.
Dave Asprey is an entrepreneur, the Father of Biohacking, and the leading voice in the movement to take control of your own biology.
