★The absolute essentials for long-term healthier living, without getting lost in restrictive habits that have little impact
★Even if you haven’t lived a perfectly healthy life, this book offers targeted strategies to turn things around

Health is not a privilege reserved for the young - it's a choice you can make every day! Prof. Dr. Sofie Claeys has followed medical science closely for decades, and has treated thousands of patients. Now facing a new phase of life herself, she extracts from that accumulated knowledge and insight what is truly essential not just to age healthily, but to live stronger, more consciously, and with joy.

The result is compiled in this book, a clear three-phase plan: prevention, recovery, and rejuvenation. You'll learn how small, achievable changes - ranging from better breathing and sleep to more mindful eating and exercise - can sustainably improve your health. Topics such as pain, hormones, gut health, the brain, detox, and social connection are also addressed.

After all, it's not just about being fit - it's about feeling better in your own skin, thinking more clearly, and staying active longer. Who says you have to be young to feel well?

Prof. Dr. Sofie Claeys is a renowned ear, nose, and throat specialist at Ghent University Hospital. After her career in specialized care and driven by a broad interest in health and aging, she is dedicated to popularising a holistic approach to prevention, recovery, and rejuvenation.
