Looking for the key to aging and living a healthier life, I enjoy reading about health-related topics, and this book caught my attention with its focus on how we can biohack ourselves. Dr. Sharad P. Paul guides readers on a journey to understand our genetics, which is unique to everyone. What I liked is that, even though our genetic material is unique, he has discovered that how we live a healthier and longer life depends on our choices.
He emphasizes decisions, there is no magic behind it. It is something we should understand and act upon by adopting healthy habits and making smart decisions. He addresses the most important areas for living a healthier life, focusing on basic needs that we often neglect, such as sleep, nutrition, exercise, and a key factor he highlights, stress management. This book provides a holistic approach to healthier living. I recommend reading it.

How to become a “super-ager” – embracing wellness!
Author Sharad P. Paul, MD established his expertise in his previous book THE GENETICS OF HEALTH and now offers his experience as a physician, surgeon, and scientist in bringing attention to discovering and utilizing the power of our individual genetic makeup in providing a healthy life. As he states, ‘without good health, you cannot achieve your true potential.’ By unlocking our potential we can ‘stay fitter, healthier, and happier throughout our lives.’
Dr. Paul’s easily accessible advice begins with learning to take charge of our health by changing our perspective. Referencing some of his famous patients, along with presentation of scientific data, he offers such rules as ‘By simply modifying your diet and lifestyle, you can preserve your brain function and avoid developing dementia.’ ‘Relying on medications to fix us, without making lifestyle changes earlier, is like not financially planning for retirement.’ ‘Lifestyle medicine is the new medical specialty where you can be your own doctor.’ With that degree of warmth and caring, admixed with impressive scientific information, this book becomes the go-to resource for understanding how our bodies function genetically and how to employ Dr. Paul’s wise advise for living a healthier life. Very highly recommended.

Life, in its essence, is a constant mystery, and we are deeply immersed in unexpected natural complexity and unpredictable moments that are what make life fascinating.
While reading this book, I found myself constantly debating whether biohacking genes would be a good idea. Dr. Sharad P. Paul provides strong arguments about how understanding and optimizing our genetic blueprint could potentially lead to a healthier and longer life. However, I think there’s something deeply profound about the mystery of life that might be set aside if we knew everything about our genetic information.
In some ways, the ability to fully understand and unlock the potential of our genes could be incredibly beneficial, allowing us to optimize our diet, exercise, stress management, and assess potential risks. But on the other hand, if we knew everything about our genetics and every detail, would life still be as fascinating and exciting? There would be no spark in experiencing something unknown no thrill of discovering what comes next. The first experience of something new or surprising might be lost. Having all the answers could stifle creativity, growth, and the joy that comes from the process of figuring things out.

Knowing How to Live
Biohacking Your Genes, written by Dr. Sharad P. Paul, is, in my opinion, an excellent compilation of information based on his research and over 30 years of professional experience as a physician.
Personally, I fully agree with his approaches, as I have always adhered to the philosophy that good health depends largely on the care we give ourselves throughout life, especially when it comes to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. This lifestyle not only encompasses physical aspects, such as exercising regularly and avoiding vices like alcohol and tobacco, but also emphasizes the importance of cultivating healthy eating habits. As the author states in his book, these practices are within our reach and depend exclusively on each individual.
While adopting these habits may not guarantee extreme longevity, they certainly contribute to a better quality of life. The key is to take care of our bodies in a holistic way, physically and mentally, in order to enjoy a full and healthy life in the present, regardless of what our genetics may have “predestined” for us at any given time.

Paul offers us helpful advice on how small changes in habits can have a big influence on our health and lifespan by combining his years of research and vast medical experience. Although I acknowledge that keeping healthy habits is not always simple, I have always felt that it is crucial to take care of our bodies and minds. This book inspired me to reinforce those efforts.
What I liked most is that each tip is based on science and they are completely applicable. Everything is accessible and explained in a simple way. It is a work that I would recommend to anyone looking to improve their quality of life. I feel very satisfied and motivated to continue taking better care of myself every day. Definitely, a book to share with friends and family!
