ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
Medical director of the world-famous Canyon Ranch Health Resorts, Dr. Mark Liponis presents his extraordinary new idea: that aging and aging-related diseases---including heart disease, cancer, and diabetes---are autoimmune problems, and that a well-managed immune system is the key to healthy aging.
Cutting-edge research makes UltraLongevity the first and only book to explore aging within the context of the immune system, and it will change the way we look at health forever. Starting with a quiz---"How Fast Are You Aging?"---Liponis explains the new science, lays out an accessible and proven 7-step program with an 8-day meal plan, and motivates readers to put the program into practice so that they can keep their minds sharp, become more physically fit, be more resistant to infections and disease, and feel and stay younger than they ever imagined. Through the UltraLongevity program, Liponis promises more than a long life; he promises a long, healthy life.
Advance praise for UltraLongevity

This is the best original thinking I have seen in decades!"-Stephen T. Sinatra, MD, FACC, CNS, coauthor of Reverse Heart Disease Now
"UltraLongevity is a treasure-it's loaded with exactly the kind of information everyone needs to live well and vibrantly-for as long as possible." -Christiane Northrup MD

"I found this book to be inspiring and now realize that getting older does not have to mean "feeling older" with aches, pains and diseases such as arthritis, cancer and other age-related ailments. Dr. Liponis gives wonderful and specific examples on how to reverse the aging process through calming the immune system so we can lead healthy and vibrant lives. His program is practical and easy to incorporate into busy lifestyles. Liponis also provides information on proven technological breakthroughs pertaining to anti-aging supported by hundreds of studies. The end of the book features an eight day eating plan. The recipes are from the Canyon Ranch and are easy and delicious.
I highly recommend this book to people who want to live long and healthy lives."

"I have read many books on the subject (Klatz et al) and find the approach taken by Mark Liponis to be quite different. He focuses on the immune system and has a holistic approach to longevity. I found his style of comparing viruses and anti-oxidants which attack the body to terrorists and homeland security a little too simplistic. Overall I rate it an informative book."

"In a world saturated with health crazes, UltraLongevity shines alone as a smart, intuitive, and realistic methodology to not just living longer, but being happier and healthier in the process. In accordance with his own medical research, Dr. Liponis converts familiar--even almost mundane--accepted knowledge into new understanding that will change your perception of healthy living.
Arming the reader with general immune system knowledge in a way that makes Biology 101 seems as intriguing as the season finale of 24, Dr. Liponis establishes an easy-to-follow foundation for the "how" and "why" of his seven step process. And then in simple words and everyday language, he untangles the confusing web of health newsflashes and rules and jumbled facts into a clear solution that just "clicks."
Dr. Liponis' boost-your-immune-system approach is not about dropping extra pounds, lowering cholesterol, relieving stress or increasing your energy; it's about how these things--and much more--can and will happen as a side effect of changing your habits based on his philosophy. As you read the book you'll feel compelled to squeeze yourself a fresh glass of orange juice, soak in a bubble bath, walk your dog, and tell your husband you love him, all while taking a big cleansing breath and saying, "Ahhhhh."
The enlightenment you'll receive from UltraLongevity is, quite literally, life changing. It's not the Fountain of Youth per say, but rather a key to living the longest, healthiest life possible. I found it fascinating and enjoyable to read, but most importantly doable. I'd recommend it to anyone wants to live long and be happy. Much praise, Dr. Liponis, for doing more than your part to better our world.

"As an avid reader of health books, I was dazzled by this book. Dazzled!!
I really enjoyed the manner in which the importance of immunology was explained. Beautiful balance between being more than superficial, but less than academically mind numbing. Without stealing the thunder of the author Mark Liponis, know your CRP level and track it like you would your BP or cholesterol levels.
Over time, it may be discovered that there is an even a better indicator than CRP but it does seem to offer some very strong predictive/monitoring power. I, for one, am going to become much more knowledgeable about not only my own CRP level, but that of my family.
Also, I loved the author's philosophy of health. Liponis is too young to be a pioneer in holistic health (as it has been around for ages), but he has done as good a job as I have ever seen to weave a wellness philosophy that makes good sense, is easy to remember, and just plain feels good.
Let the dancing begin! (Trust me, you will understand this important point once you read this outstanding book.)
