A preventive-medicine view of longevity

Drawing on critical care medicine, M. K. Jarbou connects long-term health with the changes that can build toward hospitalization, including muscle loss, sleep and circadian rhythm, and chronic disease. The guide ranges across preventive medicine, health span, hormone replacement therapy, GLP-1 medications, peptides, and biohacking trends. It also presents the Reserve System as a framework for building physiologic reserve. Its central emphasis is on the years before a medical crisis: how the book frames prevention and the accumulation of health over a lifetime, rather than treating longevity as a last-minute intervention.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in preventive medicine and longevity
  • Readers seeking an overview of health span, muscle loss, sleep, and chronic disease
  • Those curious about the book’s discussion of hormone therapy, GLP-1 medications, peptides, and biohacking

Book overview

Most people don't die suddenly. They decline for decades-then arrive in the ICU when it's too late.

Before the Alarm is about what happens before that moment. It challenges the belief that you can fix your health later-with medications, procedures, or the latest biohacks.

You can't.

Drawing from years in critical care medicine, Dr. M.K. Jarbou reveals a hard truth: The diseases that end lives-heart disease, cancer, metabolic syndrome, and frailty-are built quietly over time. And they are often preventable.

This book is a practical guide to longevity, health span, and preventive medicine. Inside, you'll learn:

  • The strongest predictors of survival
  • How muscle loss and aging increase the risk of hospitalization and death
  • The hidden role of sleep and circadian rhythm in chronic disease
  • When hormone replacement therapy is useful
  • The truth about GLP-1 medications, peptides, and biohacking trends
  • How to build physiologic reserve using The Reserve System-a science-based framework for longevity

Longevity isn't built at the end of life. It's the foundation you've built over the course of life that determines the reserve your body holds on to. There are aspects of longevity that might surprise you-and that have long been neglected by science.

Longevity is built before the alarm goes off-and this book shows you how to act before it's too late.
