Synopsis

“Essential reading for COVID times. . . . The tool we all need right now: a smart, straightforward guide that speaks directly to the question: How can I build a strong immune system? The book is packed with clear, actionable advice for building a strong immune system, losing weight, feeling younger and aging beautifully.”
—Yahoo! Life

How you age is up to you. And it’s easy to take charge.

From the renowned integrative doctor Frank Lipman comes a radically simple program to reverse the symptoms we reflexively call “normal aging,” including feeling achy, stiff, sluggish, weak, and vulnerable to chronic illness. This improves not only our life span but, more importantly, our health span—our quality of life and how we feel.

Built on a series of lifestyle changes that energize the body and build and strengthen its immune system, The New Rules of Aging Well is based on ancient wisdom backed up by science: Eat less and practice intermittent fasting. Do 20 minutes a day of something meditative. Switch to gentler workouts, but move as much as possible. Unlock the incredible power of mushrooms. Grow your tribe. Walk barefoot when you can.

The result: a rejuvenated you that looks great and feels healthy, happy, sexy, agile, and strong.

Goodreads review by Simona on March 25, 2022

This was a mixed bag, lots of nice things, quite surface-level, an easy read for an afternoon: 3.5 stars but rounded down because of some major red flags (more on this down below). Content Highlights: - Lipman takes a holistic approach to ageing well, which is reflected in a wide coverage of topics in......more

Goodreads review by Alicia on September 29, 2020

I loved this book and found it immensely helpful. Dr. Lipman writes in a very easy way and gives great advice. Most of it wasn't new to me, but this is probably my favorite health book of the year (and I read a lot of health books) for the tone, content, advice and ease of reading. It's also wonderf......more

Goodreads review by Donna on July 23, 2023

The New Rules of Aging Well is a holistic approach to staying vital as you age. Dr. Lipman contends that many of the symptoms we chalk up to normal aging are actually caused by inflammation, stress, overeating, and other lifestyle choices. As such, they can be avoided and often reversed to some degr......more

Goodreads review by Brent on December 09, 2020

Not sure why this jumped out at me, but, well, I read it. There's a lot of good advice in here that is largely the generic "be healthier" advice: eat less, sleep more, avoid sugar, exercise, so on and so forth. So I guess it's nice that aging well mostly consists of doing things that I'm already supp......more

Goodreads review by Mallory on August 04, 2023

3.1 stars. I read this after the CEO of the company I work at highly recommended it during an event she spoke at. There were some tidbits I really enjoyed (varying your types of exercise and movement, focusing on recovery and sleep, needing more protein as you age), but overall it was a bit too focu......more

“Immune competence and responsiveness, collectively referred to as immune resilience, has emerged as one of the most fundamental metrics defining a healthy human. And while immune resilience generally declines with age, it is now clear that our lifestyle choices profoundly influence this decline, even to the extent of rejuvenating the competency of immune function. In Dr. Lipman’s The New Rules of Aging Well, you will gain the tools to realize this goal, while you regain strength and vitality as well. This is profound information, validated by our most up-to-date research, that will undoubtedly pave the way for your health and longevity.”
