Synopsis

How can you lose weight, ease chronic conditions, and stay healthier longer? Discover how to “rewrite your health destiny” (David Perlmutter, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Grain Brain) with this accessible book that teaches you how to flip the switch on your metabolism with intermittent fasting, protein cycling, and keto.

Within each of us is an ancient mechanism that eliminates toxic materials, initiates fat burning, and protects cells from becoming dysfunctional—or turning cancerous. It’s called autophagy, and when it’s turned on, the complex operation not only can slow down the aging process, it can optimize biological function as a whole, helping to stave off all manner of diseases and affording us the healthy life spans we never thought possible. It’s the body’s ultimate switch to life.

So how can we positively activate this switch? How frequently should we fast and for how long? Which foods dial up autophagy or, conversely, turn it down? How much exercise and what types are recommended? What’s the sweet spot between intermittent fasting, protein cycling, and ketogenic eating?

Backed by a wealth of scientific data and featuring a gallery of guidelines to follow for lasting results, “The Switch offers a paradigm shift in the way we think about health—and how to avoid decline and illness. This is a must read” (Mark Hyman, #1 New York Times bestselling author).

Goodreads review by Ryan on January 11, 2020

This is a great book on the science behind longevity diets, although it is a bit overcomplicated for simple dietary advice (there's a chapter at the end which is sufficient if you accept what the author says and develops with support, but that chapter should be even more explicitly how-to). Essential......more

Goodreads review by Marin on January 24, 2020

Suprisingly good book on a popular topic these days. It is pretty scientific, going over various research papers (with references), explaining how different types of dieting and dietary habits influence body on a literally cellural level. Very interesting read for anyone who wants to know how the bod......more

Goodreads review by Ginger on January 29, 2020

The Switch is a review for lay people of much of the scientific data about how to live a long and healthy life. The author is a researcher who has looked at life extension. The book covers the genetics, epigenetics and ethnographic data for people who are living long disease-free lives. This is a ho......more

Goodreads review by Rachel on January 28, 2020

I really wanted to like this book. Unfortunately I did not. It started with what seemed like the first two chapters were devoted to "although I am not a doctor, these other learned people that I know, think I am smart enough to write this book" dialogue. This then meandered along with some sometimes......more
