Life-Altering Secrets from Today’s Cutting-Edge Doctors and the #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of Ageless
Today’s most trusted advocate of antiaging medicine, Suzanne Somers, deepens her commitment to helping people lead healthier, happier lives by opening their eyes to cutting-edge, proven remedies and preventative care that most doctors just aren’t talking about with patients: longevity medicine and the more progressive study of bioidentical hormones.
As we age, certain hormones diminish, creating an imbalance that can set off everything from perimenopause to cancer, beginning as early as our thirties. This hormonal imbalance is causing many to feel depressed, anxious, fatigued, sexless, sleepless, and ultimately ill, sometimes even terminally. What’s more, Somers and twenty doctors in the field of antiaging medicine argue that the processed chemicals in foods and pharmaceuticals we ply ourselves with are actually slowly eroding our bodies and minds. So we’re getting slammed twice. From estrogen dominance to deceptive thyroid problems, people are suffering, and most don’t have access to the treatment they truly need to get better and thrive . . . until now.
Breakthrough explores cutting-edge science and delivers smart, proactive advice on the newest treatments for breakthrough health and longevity.
In addition to being a pioneer in a rapidly growing health field, Somers is a passionate, caring individual whose own life was derailed by disease and brought back to unimaginable, feel good heights that she wants you, too, to experience.
I understand the desire to remain eternally youthful; it’s been a desire of mankind for ages. Stories about “fountains of Youth” and such permeate all our world’s mythologies and nobody likes to face the inevitability of death. It’s plain scary. So is the gradual enfeeblement that usually accompanies the aging process.
But people come on, you’re taking medical advice from the star of SHE”S THE SHERRIF, not to mention THREE’S COMPANY. Are we all living in that much fear of nature’s surest thing?
She also pimped the Thighmaster for years. How’d that work out for you? It was invented by Joshua “Young Pasteur” Reynolds, who among other things cooked up an alternate “improved” version of the Mood Ring.
And I’m not sure because my Dad willed his collection to the Church, but I don’t think Marie Curie ever posed for Playboy. Had she, of course this would not have invalidated her scientific theories, but it probably would have hurt her reputation in the serious scientific community. And isn’t that who you want giving you advice on bioidentical hormones and gene therapy, a serious scientist? Wouldn’t that be more advisable that taking scientific and medical advice from the woman who appeared as a dead naked body floating in a swimming pool in the beginning of the 2nd Dirty Harry movie (Magnum Force) or who hawks garish Halloween-esque jewelry on the Home Shopping Network?
Hey her nutrition advice is fine and if we all paid more attention to our health then we’d probably all look, feel and function much better. And if she writes a book about how she survived cancer, which I think she faced pretty bravely, that’s great, it might help someone. But this stuff is a little over her head. And speaking of her head, look at her face. She has obviously had plenty of work done, and poorly too. Poor thing looks like she belongs in a movie about murders at a wax museum with Vincent Price. She doesn’t sport an air of wellness. Even her expression is pained. She looks like someone just broke a profound wind nearby, perhaps after eating a jumbo burrito with double onions and jalapeno peppers.
If you’re going to emulate anyone from TV Land then pick Chrissy’s Co-star, Mr. Roper. Norman Fell was well loved, lived an interesting, reasonably happy life and made a pruney face and hooked nose into a career. He also said this:
“If I could do it all over again, I’d be the mailman. I love housewives and I hate dogs. What more is there?”
See he had a great attitude, had a good time, a great sense of humor and outlived most Galápagos tortoises. He was comfortable with where he was in life and made the most of it. He didn’t try to be Brad Pitt when he clearly wasn’t
What more could a good Cougar realistically ask from a role model?

Let’s look at ways to help this terrible economy, Suzanne has made ‘nuf off of her thigh-ab etc machines. She should retire after her nezt session with Colleen on HSN! for Pete’s sake! Terrible book!

Funny but I remember Ms Somers saying not long ago that any author who published their work in electronic form wasn’t a real author. Proving she got it right in this case.
Rating: 1 / 5
We were not impressed and thought it almost worthless as far as we were concerned. There was little to be gained. It was just a bunch of interviews she conducted to deal with her own health issues and nothing to do with ours.
We returned the book.

I think there are to much reading before you get to read what you bought the book to learn in the first place.
