Description

We are on the cusp of a major transformation in healthcare—yet few people know it. At top hospitals and a few innovative health-tech startups, scientists are working closely with patients to dramatically extend their “healthspan,” the number of healthy years before disease sets in. In The Age of Scientific Wellness, two visionary leaders of this revolution in health take us on a thrilling journey to this new frontier of medicine.?

Leroy Hood and Nathan Price argue that we must move beyond today’s reactive, hit-or-miss approach to usher in a form of highly personalized care they call “scientific wellness.” Using information gleaned from our blood and genes and tapping into the data revolution made possible by AI, doctors can catch the onset of disease years before symptoms arise, with startling results: diabetes reversed, cancers eliminated, Alzheimer’s avoided, autoimmune conditions kept at bay.?

It’s time to make this gold standard of care more widely available. Inspiring in its possibilities, radical in its conclusions, The Age of Scientific Wellness shares actionable insights to help you chart a course to a longer, healthier, and more fulfilling life.

Biotechnologist Leroy Hood and longevity researcher Nathan Price journey to the future of health. Medicine today is a hit-or-miss affair that tackles symptoms long after disease sets in. Hood and Price explore the emerging technologies that will focus health care on extending wellness, making it personal, precise, and truly preventative.
