Think back… remember wanting to grow up quickly when you were a child? You couldn’t wait for the freedoms you thought came with age. In your 20s, you envied the confidence of your more mature friends. In your 30s, you worked hard to set up the life you wanted and figured that, soon – when you weren’t so busy, you’d get the opportunity to appreciate the spoils of your hard work.
But here you are… The years have flown by, and your body and mind have changed as you have hurtled towards middle age. You probably don’t have the energy you once did and some days, you feel like you’ve lost your sparkle.
We’re here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be this way. All that’s needed is your determination and unwavering focus for around eight weeks. Research has shown that making a couple of science-backed changes to your eating regimen and daily habits can help you turn back the clock.
One of the keys to youthful vitality is protecting your telomeres (the compound structure at the tip of your chromosomes). These groups of DNA protect the end of your chromosomes from deterioration and prevent them from fusing with neighboring chromosomes. The longer your telomeres, the less vulnerable you are thought to be to conditions like cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, dementia, and various cancers. Telomeres normally shrivel with age, yet studies have demonstrated that it’s possible to slow down this cycle and even extend your telomeres by making diet, lifestyle and other changes.
Another contributing factor is inflammation which is present in a variety of conditions including arthritis, cancer, heart disease, bowel diseases like Crohn’s disease, Type 2 diabetes, and Alzheimer’s. Scientists have identified chronic inflammation as a major cause of accelerated aging but again, certain lifestyle changes can help stall and even reverse inflammatory markers that lead to premature decline and disease.
Now for the good news! Dr. Vonda Wright, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon and globally recognized expert on active aging and mobility, has designed a program to take advantage of research that indicates it’s possible to protect your telomeres and reduce inflammation in as little as two months. This program, Younger in 8 Weeks, is a breakthrough plan that provides a holistic, step by step guide to help you reverse the impacts of aging at the cellular level.
Harnessing recent research, this program aims to turn back the clock and slow down the aging cycle; to help everything from your hair, heart and hips to your mental acuity, energy level and zest for life. You will feel more youthful, grounded, fresher, and healthier overall.
Dr. Vonda Wright, M.D., is a globally recognized expert on active aging and mobility. Her contention is that with mobility, smart nutrition, and building the right connections, we can harness our own power to control 70% of our wellbeing and aging.
Dr. Wright is one of very few female orthopedic surgeons in the United States. She currently serves as the inaugural Chief of Sports Medicine at the Northside Hospital Orthopedic Institute in Atlanta and as the President of the Atlanta Chapter of the American Heart Association.
Dr. Wright speaks worldwide and has authored five books: Fitness After 40: How to Stay Strong at Any Age; Guide to THRIVE: 4 stages to Body, Brains, and Bliss — which included a line of fitness gear sold exclusively in more than 500 Dick’s Sporting Goods stores across the country; Younger in 8 weeks; A Parents Playbook for Raising Healthy Athletes; and Masterful Care of the Aging Athlete.
“We are all born – and we will all die. We spend the time in between aging – and it’s how we do this that interests me the most. I developed Younger in 8 Weeks to help people understand how they can make informed decisions that contribute to their overall health. My plan has been designed to help people lose up to 25 pounds, to boost their energy levels by more than a third, to lower their cholesterol up to 39 points, to decrease their blood sugar by up to 14 points. All of this can lead to a huge increase in self-confidence – up to 27 percent!” enthuses Dr. Wright.
