The Forever Human

Drawing on cutting-edge longevity science and his own daily habits, a doctor reveals how everyday people can slow aging, rebuild strength, and reclaim energetic, medication-free years well into old age.
At 67, Dr. Eugene Antenucci trains like an athlete, eats like a nutritionist, and has weaned himself off most of his blood pressure medications, and in The Forever Human he explains exactly how. Drawing on emerging longevity science, including hormesis, strength training, intermittent fasting, and stress resilience, he lays out a realistic, evidence-informed approach to slowing the diseases of aging rather than merely surviving them. Part memoir, part science briefing, the book blends personal stories, including a formative hike above Italy's Amalfi Coast, with practical strategies readers can start using immediately. For anyone who wants more energetic years, not just more years, The Forever Human offers a hopeful, actionable roadmap grounded in both research and hard-won personal experience.

Dr. Eugene Antenucci, known as Dr. Gene, has practiced dentistry since 1983 after serving as a U.S. Air Force dental captain. An Associate Clinical Professor at NYU and Stony Brook, he now teaches at LSU's School of Dentistry. Decades of patient care sparked his passion for holistic health, earning him certification as a Health and Wellness Coach. He has authored several books on health, wellness, and longevity. He lives in New Orleans with his wife.
