- Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2010There is a wealth of new information here that has changed the way I eat, look and feel for the better. The changes don't take long to happen either. Having given up all wheat products for just 2 days, my puffy eyes and moon shaped face have become a younger version of me. I love this!!! I agree with the earlier reviewer who said this book should get 7 Stars ... Bravo!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2013This contained good info but it was like reading 100 unrelated internet articles - it had the same scattered but good info feel as a night of web searching the term 'anti -aging'. Much of it was "notes" from other 'experts'.
Nothing got 'put together' or seemed to apply directly to me or appeared to be his 'recommendation' Under neutroceutifcals he listed so many - I dont know what to do with the info or how to tell which ones I would benefit from- who are they for? In some cases he'd list them out for different conditions (energy, brain power, detox etc) - he'd list four or five different neutraceutical for each condition but am I supposed to take them all or choose from them? How do I choose which one works best for me? It left me confused - it never seemed to come together for me.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2008I am SO disappointed with this book. I received it last night and read the first chapter and then looked through the remaining chapters trying to find something useful and interesting. This is all stuff that I have read in other books and magazines many times over - common sense (eat your veggies). If you want to read it, save your money and check it out from your local library. I'm going to try to return mine!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2014Grerat and very helpful book.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2008This book is terrific. It deserves at least 7 stars. ******* Its explains in detail issues as diverse as blood tests the average Doctor doesn't even perform such as C-Reactive Protein, homocysteine, and fibrinogen. It also explains hormone therapy both synthetic and bioidentical. It explains nutraceuticals, mesotherapy, the whole world of non invasive and minimally invasive facial and skin rejuvenation such as Thermage, Carboxytherapy In typical Oz style he actually interviews the leading Doctors in each of their respective fields and they are the ones who provide much of the diverse information in the book. You would have to buy at least a dozen books ( one from each of the expert authors) to get all of that information in one place. Oh yes and there was a chapter on food the first one. Its astonishing and a terrible disservice that someone could write a review after reading only one chapter, clearly ignorant of the wealth of information in this book, admit it and Amazon actually posts it. There is no way that anyone, even a Doctor or a scientist, could know all of the information in this book because contributions were made by over 50 leading Doctors and companies.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2014Great book from someone I trust. Oz Garcia walks the talk. He's in his 60's and looks like he's 40!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2013Unless you have no previous contact with health and wellness information , perhaps like being off the planet , there is nothing new of even interesting here. Basic things that we have all read in newspapers, magazines, and on any electronic source available. I was bored and disappointed with this book so I zipped It right back to the library and cancelled my request for the other titles by Mr. Garcia.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2008I really was having a difficult time with dieting and keeping up my energy level after I hit my early forties, but this book has put me right back on track! Oz's book comes with a diet plan that isn't difficult to follow, with a variety of delicious foods that actually give more energy and focus throughout the day (and I'm actually sleeping better at night too). This program feels less like a diet and more like something I can actually follow for the rest of my life. It also addresses other aspects of aging, and how to incorporate detox, new kinds of exercise, skin care, cosmetic procedures and more. The book really does show how you can grow older yet feel and look young, without the need to line a plastic surgeon's pocket. It's a must-read for anyone who's middle-aged!
