The Anti-Aging Zone

How old are you now? Want to look younger, live longer, and feel better?With his #1 New York Times bestseller The Zone, Dr. Sears began revolutionizing nutritional thinking in America. Now, his cutting-edge hormonal-control research is elevated to a new level that promises to change forever how we look at aging.No one wants to get old or show the signs of age. In fact, for centuries many have searched for, and often promised, the fountain of youth. So what makes The Anti-Aging Zone different?In this new, breakthrough book. Dr. Sears goes beyond looking at food as simply a source of calories and explains the incredibly powerful biological effects it has on your hormones. From this unique perspective, food is more than a source of sustenance; it becomes the most powerful drug known to man. More important, it is the only drug proven to reverse the aging process. In addition to unraveling the mysteries of your hormones and their role in aging, Dr. Sears reveals the essential dietary information you need to start your own age-reversal journey. Using his simple and easy-to-follow program, you will be able to live longer and live better beginning with your very next meal.As Dr. Sears explains, the aging process isn’t caused as much by the depletion or lack of hormones as we get older, but rather by their impaired ability to communicate with each other. Little-known “super-hormones” called eicosanoids can reestablish the critical communications links between your hormones, which is the key to age reversal. The brilliance of this anti-aging approach is that these exceptionally powerful super-hormones can be altered by the foods you eat, and, in particular, by the Zone Diet.Your body is a vast, complex biological Internet whose hormonal communication can be orchestrated with great precision by the Zone Diet. Hormones from melatonin to serotonin, from estrogen to testosterone, from cortisol to DHEA, can all be controlled if you are willing to treat food with the same respect as you would any prescription drug. Ultimately, hormonal miscommunication is the underlying cause of many conditions associated with “getting older” such as insomnia, wrinkles, dry and dull skin, waning sex drive, depression, chronic pain, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Using The Anti-Aging Zone as your guide, you can look and feel better that you ever imagined.Millions of people like you are now facing the hard realities involved with getting older. Dr. Sears separates the hormonal hype from reality and gives you the necessary tools to add years to your life and improve your appearance. The Anti-Aging Zone is your passport to a longer and better life.Enter the Anti-Aging Zone… You have the power to reverse aging beginning with your next meal.

The OmegaRx Zone

The Miracle of the New High-Dose Fish OilIn The Omega Rx Zone, Dr. Sears greatly expands the potential of the Zone to alter how we think about chronic disease in general — and in the process allows us to reach our full genetic potential as human beings. Drawing upon his own research as well as recently published studies, he shows how a revolutionary new technological advance in fish oil manufacturing, never before available to the general public, may be the magic bullet that will transform medicine. This new pharmaceutical-grade fish oil offers extraordinary health benefits ranging from helping to treat chronic disease to improving athletic performance and emotional well-being. What makes high-dose fish oil so beneficial? It allows your brain to work at peak efficiency, controlling the hormonal responses that ultimately govern your body and your emotions.So how is this new generation of fish oil different from yesterday’s dreaded cod liver oil? As Dr. Sears explains, the fish oil doled out by our grandmothers and currently sold at health-food stores has never been pure enough to be used in the quantities it takes to feel its potential benefits. The new pharmaceutical – grade fish oil is more concentrated, free of dangerous toxins, and has been clinically tested with spectacular results.The Omega Rx Zone is a groundbreaking dietary program coupled with guidelines for supplementation using pharmaceutical-grade fish oil that allows us to fine-tune our minds and bodies to reach the full potential of the Zone. With his solid research, practical advice, and infectious enthusiasm, Dr. Sears continues the evolution of his Zone technology that will enable everyone to reach his or her maximum genetic potential for optimal health and vitality for life.

Toxic Fat

When Good Food Turns BadToxic Fat provides a revolutionary new understanding of our current obesity epidemic by showing that it can be viewed as a form of cancer to be treated using the clinically proven pathway to change the expression of your genes using food as a drug to rid your body of toxic fat.For many of us, one of the first signs of toxic fat is the accumulation of excess body fat. In fact, obesity can be viewed as a form of “cancer” that is driven by toxic fat. However, only when this toxic fat begins to spread into the bloodstream does it begin to attack your other organs leading to early development of chronic disease. This is why some people can be overweight and be quite healthy, while others can be of normal weight and be quite sick. What ultimately determines your state of wellness is not your weight but the levels of toxic fat in your blood. This book changes forever how we look at the fat on our body and its impact on the future of health care in America.

The Mediterranean Zone

Unleash the Power of the World’s Healthiest Diet for Superior Weight Loss, Health, and LongevityDr. Sears revolutionized nutrition with his 1995 bestseller, The Zone. In the two decades since its publication, his dietary principles for optimal hormonal balance to control inflammation have become the standard by which all diets are measured.In Dr. Sears’ newest book, The Mediterranean Zone, he takes his principles of anti-inflammatory nutrition to a new level by explaining the key role that polyphenols play in the reduction of inflammatory responses as well as their activation of anti-aging mechanisms embedded in our genes.This book will also help you understand not only why the American health-care system is rapidly unraveling, but also what you can do to protect yourself and your family from those consequences.What leaders are saying about The Mediterranean Zone:“The Mediterranean Zone is very readable and understanding for the layman, but contains some significant new science, particularly in the appendix, for those really wanting to learn about the biochemistry of omega-3 fatty acids, polyphenols and epigenetics. Dr. Sears has clarified many aspects for me regarding the resolution of inflammation. His discussion of eicosanoids and gene transcription factors remains the best I have read. Finally, the dietary circle of anti-inflammatory nutrition is completed by his superb discussion of the value of polyphenols in any diet, and in particular an anti-inflammatory diet. I remain extremely admiring of his ability to take such complicated science and put it in an understandable and useful form for the layman.” – Joseph C. Maroon, MD, Professor and Vice Chairman, Department of Neurological Surgery, Heindl Scholar in Neuroscience, and Team Neurosurgeon, The Pittsburgh Steelers“I consider Dr. Barry Sears a mentor, innovator, and wise teacher. The Mediterranean Zone is a powerful new book that will help change your health quickly, but also permanently. It is not a fad, but a program that will get and keep you well for a very long time.” – Daniel G. Amen, MD, Author of Change Your Brain, Change Your Life

The Resolution Zone

In Dr. Sears’ latest book, The Resolution Zone, he explains the rapidly evolving science of how our bodies naturally heal from injury which he terms the Resolution Response. When our bodies are working optimally, injuries heal completely and chronic disease doesn’t get a foothold on our health. When it is blocked, you gain weight, develop chronic disease, and accelerate the aging process. There is no drug that can activate the Resolution Response, but the correct diet can. The Resolution Zone defines the comprehensive dietary system that will help to reduce, resolve and repair the damage caused by inflammation while promoting the body’s ability to heal. While the complexity of the Zone continues to evolve with new scientific discoveries, The Resolution Zone builds upon Dr. Sears’ earlier insights into inflammation and presents the information in an understandable way while giving you the tools you need to retake control of your health.Key Highlights of The Resolution Zone: The science behind why unresolved inflammation and a blocked Resolution Response is at the heart of weight gain, chronic disease, and accelerated agingHow being in the Zone is key to optimizing your body’s ability to heal and combat inflammationWhy you need a defined dietary system not a magic bullet to reach the ZoneHow the Zone Pro-Resolution Nutrition Program can be used no matter your age or stage of life to improve wellnessThe simple blood tests you can use to tell whether you’re in the ZoneWhy the future of medicine lies with optimizing the body’s internal Resolution ResponseNote: Available in paperback. 356 pages.See What People Are Saying“The Resolution Zone is a must read.

Any reader will be empowered to utilize food as medicine by reading this book.” – Carol Johnston, PhD, RD, Professor and Associate Director, Nutrition Program, School of Nutrition and Health Promotion, Arizona State University“The Resolution Zone explains how unresolved inflammation is responsible for most of the chronic diseases we currently struggle with as well as aging itself. This book is highly recommended not only for all those seeking optimal health but also for all physicians desirous of learning why and how these dietary measures work.” — Joseph C. Maroon, MD., Professor and vice chairman, Department of Neurological Surgery, Heindl Scholar in Neuroscience, University of Pittsburgh, and team neurosurgeon, Pittsburgh Steelers“In The Resolution Zone, we see the culmination of decades of his research and experience which begin with Dr. Sears’ first book in 1995, The Zone. He convincingly shows us how our diet can be effectively used as our most effective drug.” —Julian E.
