The Longevity Formula: Ayurvedic Principles to Reduce Inflammation, Increase Cellular Repair & Live with Vitality

A powerful formula that brings together ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with modern science to live more vibrantly as we age "This book is an essential read for anyone seeking to age with vitality." —Mark Hyman, MD, New York Times bestselling author of Young Forever

Esteemed Ayurvedic practitioner Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh invites us to reframe our approach to aging through The Longevity Formula—boosting longevity by reducing inflammation and increasing cellular repair. This approach to increasing our health span isn't complicated, and it doesn't require expensive tests or procedures. Instead, it offers simple, science-backed practices based in the time-honored tradition of Ayurveda.

Dr. Kumar-Singh has experienced the power of these practices herself. During her successful career as an emergency room doctor, she suffered a health crisis that Western medicine couldn't fully resolve. In her search for answers, she returned to Ayurveda, the healing tradition of her South Asian roots. Ayurveda is a holistic system that shows us how to live in harmony with nature, with its daily and seasonal rhythms. It's complementary with Western medicine, and it honors aging as a time of vitality and wisdom. Dr. Kumar-Singh offers an accessible introduction to Ayurveda and how it supports the mechanisms of aging. Throughout the book, she shares accessible yet potent practices that will help you:

• Replenish your tissues to support memory and mood, reduce chronic pain, and strengthen muscle and bone

• Remove toxins that contribute to chronic disease through simple daily routines

• Add and move prana (energy or life force) through breathing and movement

• Sync with nature to understand your body's clock and how it supports your sleep, eating, and exercise

• Feed your system, nourishing not only your body but also your mind and soul

These practices don't require complicated equipment, expensive ingredients, or prior experience with Ayurveda. As Dr. Kumar-Singh writes, "The essence of Ayurveda is that we are not separate from nature. When we live in harmony with nature, we have optimal and vibrant health." With this fundamental principle, she shows us how to build gradual and sustainable habits to support our physical, emotional, and spiritual health as we age.
