Ageless Aging: A Woman's Guide to Increasing Healthspan, Brainspan, and Lifespan -- Maddy Dychtwald, Hardcover

A holistic plan based on cutting-edge science designed to help women take advantage of medical, psychological, and spiritual tools to feel younger for longer.

We are in the midst of a longevity revolution. And that is particularly true for women:

• Women can expect to live five years longer than men.
• A 50-year-old woman can expect to live another 35 years, on average.
• Women comprise 80% of centenarians, the fastest growing segment of the world's population.

But despite these incredible statistics, women are not living well. Women typically spend the last 14 years of their lives in a cascade of health issues. And while current research suggests that some 70 to 90% of your health and longevity is under your control--rather than at the mercy of your genes--the reality is that most women are not taking advantage of the measures that could lead to a longer and happier life.

Ageless Aging presents a pioneering new way for women to age--an ascent that includes feeling youthful and vital while gaining wisdom, resilience, and experience. It provides a holistic, actionable plan that will help women make use of all the tools available to them as they grow older.

Women need a trusted resource to help them thrive as they age. Internationally acclaimed author and thought leader Maddy Dychtwald is the perfect guide. Maddy has her finger on the pulse of all the latest research, science, and information about longevity and aging, as well as the specific issues facing women. She understands that Ageless Aging is a complex process, that the various pieces of the puzzle work synergistically, and with this book she shows you how to create your best future self by taking control of the aging process.
