Review quote
As people age, their doctors put them on more medicines, which can have toxic side effects. This book uses the science behind healthy ageing to show you how you can prevent life-threatening diseases without medicines. I learned a lot from its Anti-ageing Action Plan about how to correct hormonal deficiencies and take good care of myself.
