The Kaufmann Protocol is the first comprehensive approach to aging that
tackles why we age, and then recommends a strategic, scientific formulation
to decelerate the process. The book brings practical information to everyday people, and takes the science of aging out of the laboratory and into the
real world. The first half of The Kaufmann Protocol discusses aging on a cellular level, which separates it from all other anti-aging fads.

We age because our cells age and it is this understanding that allows the protocol to combat aging for people from all walks of life. This is presented in terms of the seven tenets, or categories, of aging which comprise topics such as DNA alterations, mitochondrial energy, and aging pathways. These are explained in both scientific and laymen terms, such that anyone can understand the process.
