"I've written many books on nutrition, including cookbooks that help you create delicious, healthy, whole food, plant-based meals. Over the last decade, I've been researching and writing the How series. The first volume, How Not to Die, became an instant New York Times Best Seller. In it, I examined the top 15 causes of death in the United States—heart disease, various cancers, diabetes, Parkinson's, high blood pressure, and more—and explained how nutritional and lifestyle interventions may trump prescription pills and other pharmaceutical and surgical approaches, freeing us to live healthier lives. It was followed by The How Not to Die Cookbook, which is not only its companion but another New York Times Best Seller. Next came How Not to Diet, my third New York Times Best Seller. For that volume, I turned my attention to the latest research on the leading causes—and remedies—of obesity and built the ultimate weight-loss guide from the ground up, presenting actionable advice and groundbreaking dietary research. It, too, had a companion, The How Not to Diet Cookbook. Then, I released How to Survive a Pandemic in the midst of the global COVID-19 crisis . I revealed not only what we can do to protect ourselves and our loved ones during a worldwide pandemic, but I dug deep into the roots of the problem and tackled the fundamental question: How can we stop the emergence of pandemic viruses in the first place? Most recently, I researched and wrote my latest book, How Not to Age, and I am humbled and honored that it, too, is a New York Times Best Seller. For my newest volume, I dove into the top peer-reviewed anti-aging medical research and emerged with the understanding that diet can regulate every one of the most promising strategies for combating the effects of aging. Getting older does not have to mean getting sicker. I look forward to sharing with you everything I've learned to keep our bodies and minds vibrant and vital."
