THE SWITCH

Once you read James Clement's THE SWITCH: Activating Your Genes for a Leaner, Longer, Healthier Life, you'll have a radically different understanding about agingand how to slow it downthanks to your body's built-in technology that can extend your healthy lifespan (and keep you slim, trim, and mentally sharp). You'll also have a practical plan to follow throughout the year to activate this biological marvel while staving off serious disorders and illness. The new science is so incredible that it earned a Japanese cell biologist the Nobel Prize in 2016 for his work in explaining this critical cellular processhow it happens, what genes are involved, and its role in disease and normal development. But not many non-scientists, including physicians in clinical medicine, have heard or read about this discovery. Until now.

A former attorney turned citizen scientist, James Clement has devoted the last two decades to the science of life extension. He is the co-founder of H+ Magazine, which publishes articles on the cultural, scientific, and technological advances affording humans the ability to evolve past physical and mental limitations, a phenomenon referred to as transhumanism. In 2010 Clement decided to focus entirely on the biology of aging and commenced the Supercentenarian Research Study, for which he traveled across North America and Europe collecting over 60 blood samples from individuals 106 years and older in order to identify the characteristics that allowed them to avoid common increasingly life-threatening diseases like cancer, autoimmune disorders, and neurodegenerative ailments. Impressed by his work, leading scientists from around the world soon joined his scientific advisory board. Since then, Clement established the nonprofit Better Humans whose mission is to develop low-cost stem-cell and gene-therapy treatments in order to prolong health and youthfulness. Clement's research has already garnered national attention, with articles published last November in both The New York Times and London Times. Respected by top researchers, Clement is well-known in the scientific community, including across ResearchGate, a social networking site for scientists and researchers with over 9 million members worldwide. He can rely on the contributions of myriad bestselling authors to provide endorsements and/or promotional support. Clement is committed to leveraging his extensive network and growing recognition in the public eye in order to ensure his book's success.
