This is a summary of the book titled “Life Force – how new breakthroughs in precision medicine can transform the quality of your life and those you love” written by Tony Robbins and Peter Diamandis and published by Simon and Schuster, 2022. They offer anecdotes, research case studies and stories on how precision medicine changing people’s lives. New breakthroughs can not only be preventive, rejuvenative and supplemental but also defeat chronic illnesses. Together with a positive mindset, these hold the promise of increased longevity.

New technologies in rejuvenative medicine are revolutionizing healthcare by fighting disease and potentially reversing aging through the power of stem cells. Stem cells divide and renew themselves without limits, providing incredible healing powers. Clinical trials are ongoing to treat diseases like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, diabetes, and heart and liver problems. Aging is a disease that can be curable through lifestyle changes and supplements. New medical technologies can create organs, edit genes, and make the body functionally younger. For example, Dr. Anthony Atala has been "printing" 3D human bladders for almost two decades, and genetically altered pig lungs to replace and outperform human lungs. CAR T-cell therapy stimulates the immune system, while Insightec is working on focused ultrasound therapy for Parkinson's disease. Gene therapy, such as CRISPR, can eliminate disease and cure it completely. Biosplice has made advances against eight common diseases, restoring the Wnt pathway to its youthful baseline through small-molecule medicines.

Evolving supplements and treatments can help individuals look and feel younger by increasing vitality and lengthening their health span. Peptides, metformin, hormone optimization therapy, NAD+ supplements, and nutraceutricals can help maintain youthfulness and health. Hair loss often accompanies aging, but companies like Harklinikken and TissUse are developing natural hair products to combat this issue. Stem-cell-based hair transplant treatments and cryofacials can also improve skin.

Diet, exercise, sleep, and lifestyle can also contribute to healthier living. A plant-based diet is optimal for health, while intermittent fasting helps avoid disease and stay youthful. Consistency in exercise and regular exercise can lead to significant results. Sleep is the foundation of health, and if adults get less than eight hours of sleep, the risk of serious medical problems increases. To improve sleep, evaluate sleep quality, stick to regular sleep and wake times, and limit alcohol and caffeine in the evening. If sleep-deprived, consult a doctor.

Precision medicine aims to combat various diseases such as heart disease, strokes, cancer, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, and Alzheimer's. Heart disease is the most common and fatal disease, and new treatments include stem cell-based therapies like Caladrius Biosciences' CD 34+ and Elevian's GDF11. Strokes are a significant cause of death, and companies are developing gloves, VR equipment, and magnetic stimulators to help patients recover.

Cancerous diseases, such as cancer, require early diagnosis and early detection. The GRAIL liquid biopsy blood test can screen for over 50 types of cancer, and scientists are working on treatments that stimulate the immune system to fight cancer.

Autoimmune diseases, such as Crohn's, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, and rheumatoid arthritis, can be treated with electric stimulation of the vagus nerve and stem cell infusions. Anti-inflammatory diets and weight loss can also help manage these conditions.

Nutritional intervention is currently the best treatment for obesity, with weight loss potentially reversing Type 2 diabetes by regenerating beta cells.

Alzheimer's affects 50 million people worldwide and is a significant challenge for scientists. Innovative treatments include blood tests, drugs, plasma transfusions, an Alzheimer's vaccine, and psychedelic mushrooms like Lion's Mane. Natural measures like sleep, stress management, social interaction, exercise, a healthy diet, and continuous learning improve brain health. A positive mindset can extend the human life span beyond 120 years, and a positive attitude towards aging leads to longer lives and better health recoveries.
