About this listen

Time wants you dead. Not just you, but your friends, family, pets—everyone you’ve ever met…

With over 17,000 known diseases affecting humans, and countless poisons, carcinogens and toxins in our environment, it’s a miracle that our bodies manage to keep us alive. And that is, of course, if they don’t betray us themselves, whether through cancers or autoimmune conditions.

Biomedical researcher Professor John Tregoning tells the unlikely story of how, against all odds, we manage to stay alive. Taking an organ-by-organ tour of the human body, Tregoning embarks on his own experimental quest, testing "life-extending" diets and exercise regimes to separate fact from fad. Exploring the multitude of ways our bodies can kill us, from inherited genetic conditions, through heart attacks, arrythmias and angina, onto the delicate workings of the brain, Live Forever? offers compelling insight into how our bodies work, how we can best look after them—and ultimately live longer, healthier lives.

Wonderfully written and researched book on prolonging one’s life via means of personal experimentation. Dr. Tregoning enlightens, entertains and engages his readers/listeners.

I went through so many emotions with this book from shock at some of the figures to enthralment at learning how bits of our bodies operated to annoyingly loud snorts of laughter at the dad jokes (and not so dad jokes).

If you want an engrossing (sometimes grossing) read, please pick up a copy of John’s book. It’ll help you live longer, trust me!! When I started the book I was 18,388 days old and now I’m 18,398 days old! Who knows if I’d have made it in those 10 days?

All I know is life can’t end for me unless I get the chance to involve myself in a sausage duel!

Always have a sausage at hand!

Interesting and well researched, but nicely balanced with humourous touches. Very accessible and informative book on longevity, healthspan and fads Vs science.

well written and engaging narration
