New book highlights free path to better health

More from this show

A new book documents patients transformations that are occurring right here in Arizona, including reversing diabetes, losing 60 or more pounds and normalizing blood pressure—all without medication.

The book is titled, “Longevity Made Simple,” by Dr. Shad Marvasti, who co-authored the book with former U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Richard Carmona. Dr. Marvasti is also an Associate Professor of Clinical Practice at ASU’s John Shufeldt School of Medicine and Medical Engineering.

While common longevity industry in Scottsdale can often charge thousands of dollars, Dr. Shad’s clinical model at HonorHealth proves that free interventions work better. His patients are encouraged to include 5 daily habits in their lives that can influence gene expression, known as the DRESS code: Diet, Relationships, Exercise, Stress and Sleep. This is a science-based blueprint to help prevent, treat and even reverse the chronic diseases that account for most premature, preventable deaths worldwide.

The book will be released on Jan. 20th, and has so far been endorsed by Sanjay Gupta, Dan Buettner, Dean Ornish, Mark Hyman and Andrew Weil.

Dr. Shad Marvasti MD, MPH/Author of “Longevity Made Simple,” joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss more about the book.
