Book Description
Your doctor has the numbers. Nobody explained what they meant.
After forty years of practicing medicine, Don Colbert, MD, has watched patients wait until a disease that had been quietly building for years finally announced itself with a crisis. Most of them had all the warning signs in their bloodwork long before anything went wrong. They just did not know how to read them.
Live Long and Strong identifies the twelve most important numbers in your body, blood pressure, blood sugar, inflammation markers, hormone levels, kidney and liver function, thyroid, testosterone, vitamin D, and tells you exactly what each one means and how to bring it back into range. One standard blood test gives you almost all of them. With that lab report and this book, you have everything you need to take real control of your health.
Dr. Colbert brings the credibility of a physician who has helped thousands reverse disease naturally, and the perspective of a man who believes God designed the body to heal when you give it the right conditions. People who use this book stop guessing and start acting. They bring their numbers into range, lose the weight that was not moving, and discover they can age gracefully without surrendering to decline.
In this book, you will:
- Lower blood pressure naturally using the same blood pressure book principles Dr. Colbert uses with his own patients
- Use an anti-inflammatory dietand gut health book science to reverse the inflammation driving chronic disease
- Apply fasting book and blood sugar book strategies to break insulin resistance and protect your brain
- Address thyroid, adrenalfatigue, and cortisol imbalances that most doctors never check
- Build a longevity diet and Mediterraneanapproach that supports aginggracefully for decades to come
- and more
You are not meant to decline. You are meant to live long, stay strong, and fulfill every purpose God planned for your life.
Editorial Reviews
Review
Most longevity books tell you to eat less and move more. This one tells you exactly which twelve numbers in your body are silently determining how long and how well you live, and precisely what to do about each one.
Don Colbert has written some of the most widely read books in Christian health publishing. His books on keto, gut health, hormones, and fasting have helped millions. Live Long and Strong is the book that ties everything together, the master framework that shows why the same patient can read a fasting book, a gut health book, and a blood sugar book and still not get results, because they are missing the one thing that makes all the other pieces work: knowing their actual numbers.
This is not a blue zones book about populations that happened to live long. It is a clinical roadmap from a physician who has treated more than fifty thousand patients and seen what actually moves the needle. For anyone dealing with a Hashimoto’s book diagnosis, navigating insulin resistance book territory, fighting inflammation book battles that never seem to resolve, or trying to stop the cognitive slide that dementia prevention book research says starts decades before symptoms appear, this book addresses every one of those issues, in plain language, with practical steps.
The body God created is designed to heal. But it needs the right conditions. This book tells you exactly what those conditions are.
Excerpt from Chapter 5: The Fire Within – How Inflammation Destroys from the Inside Out
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein is your body’s early warning system. It measures inflammation, the silent fire that fuels nearly every chronic disease.
Extensive, long-term studies involving thousands of people have shown that elevated HS-CRP levels are strongly linked to future heart attacks, strokes, peripheral artery disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and even early cardiac death.
I recently saw a 66-year-old man who illustrated this. He came into my office struggling with knee pain so severe that he could barely walk. His BMI was over 40, and he’d been living with type 2 diabetes for more than a decade. Inflammation was taking a toll on every system in his body. Within weeks, his blood sugar levels came down, his energy increased, and his pain started to ease. He still had work to do, but the numbers began moving in the right direction, proof that when you reduce inflammation, the body begins to heal.
Unfortunately, most doctors don’t test for hs-CRP unless there’s already a serious diagnosis. But knowing your hs-CRP level can give you a powerful head start. If your HS-CRP is creeping up, your body is telling you something. And when you listen, take action, and lower that number, you’re not just preventing disease, you’re also extending your life.
