The formula to stop invisible killers an approach that can protect your health and prevent the next pandemic from one of the most influential public health leaders in the US. In The Formula for Better Health, Tom Frieden named the most influential leader in American public health since C.

Drawing from decades leading New York City s health department after 9/11, directing the CDC during the Ebola epidemic, and fighting tuberculosis and other lethal threats in India and around the world, Frieden combines compelling stories with insider knowledge to show how to win the battle for health. In this book, you will step into laboratories that solve mysteries and expose deadly deceptions.

Most importantly, you ll find out how to stop today's leading killers. Drawing from real-world successes and failures, The Formula for Better Health bridges the lethal gap between scientific knowledge and life-saving action. Whether you want to protect your own health, safeguard your community, or solve seemingly impossible health challenges or all three this book offers realistic hope and a clear path to a healthier future.
