5.0 out of 5 stars Patricia P, N.J.
I recently received THE GENE MAKEOVER as a gift. I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN! My interest in this subject is due to a bad genetic makeup. Here is a book filled with breakthrough anti-ageing information that is very user friendly. Finally someone is telling me that I no longer have to be a victim to my genetic inheritance. I can take charge of the quality of my life...

2.0 out of 5 stars Some info plus a sales pitch
This is a topic I'm very interested in and have read quite a bit about. So I was looking forward to reading this book. While it did contain some interesting information, it was all aimed toward supporting the authors' own products. There can be a fine line here.

For example, while The Pericone Prescription (written by Dr. Pericone who did a PBS fund raiser)...

This review is from: The Gene Makeover: The 21st Century Anti-Aging Breakthrough (Hardcover)
This is a topic I'm very interested in and have read quite a bit about. So I was looking forward to reading this book. While it did contain some interesting information, it was all aimed toward supporting the authors' own products. There can be a fine line here.

For example, while The Pericone Prescription (written by Dr. Pericone who did a PBS fund raiser) also mentioned his products and supplements, it was very heavy on information. Based on that information it was possible to re-create his entire program without using any of his products. However The Gene Makeover doesn't do the same thing. I'd go as far as to say it was an infomercial, although one with fewer testimonials and more real information, yet nevertheless it was an advertisement for their program.

I felt cheated that I'd paid good money for this cosmetically treated sales vehicle. To be fair there was useable information regarding nutritional supplements that could be used, but those were not the real core of what they implied could be done. For that benefit it appeared you had to contact them. They crossed the line, and I'd never read anything by these authors again.

Here is a book filled with breakthrough anti-ageing information that is very user friendly. Finally someone is telling me that I no longer have to be a victim to my genetic inheritance. I can take charge of the quality of my life. The book clearly creates a path to optimal health. When was the last time you heard a Doctor say "be aware of your new day" or "breathe deeply and slowly"? This book is the perfect combination of medical, physical and holistic steps that I will certainly use to control my health and well being.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get a Makeover!, May 19, 2008
This review is from: The Gene Makeover: The 21st Century Anti-Aging Breakthrough (Hardcover)
This book offers hope to the babyboomer generation who recognizes that we are slowly becoming our parents. By following the comments and advice offered in this helpful book, we know that we no longer have to follow in our families genetic past. The authors create the view of a cheery healthy future with sound nutritional advice. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Lucid and Expert Review of Genetic Age Management Therapy, February 10, 2008
This review is from: The Gene Makeover: The 21st Century Anti-Aging Breakthrough (Hardcover)
I have followed and learned from Dr Giampappa's work for over 20 years. He has always been well ahead of contemporary medical practitioners in his understanding of the human aging process and possible therapeutic interventions to extend meaningful human lifespan. The Gene Makeover-The 21st Century Anti-aging Breakthrough describes an exciting new approach to the field of Medical Age Management and lucidly translates a very complex subject into language that the average person can easily understand. This book provides an opportunity to understand therapies which you will read about in the medical journals of the future.

The Gene Makeover is a "must read" book for anyone interested in the latest scientific proof that the aging process can be positive. Doctor Giampapa puts complicated processes into easily understood explanations, and answers many questions that have confused both Doctors and the general public for years. This book puts the latest information into your hands to be proactive about your personal aging process for both health and beauty.

This review is from: The Gene Makeover: The 21st Century Anti-Aging Breakthrough (Hardcover)
A Bully Grows Up: Erik Meets the Wizard

As the baby boomer generation reaches the 'new middle age' we search for new information to assist in creating a more healthy and viable future for us, our parents and our children. The connection between our daily environmental and personal stressors and our overall health is important. Studies have proved that stress has a significant effect on our longevity. As an author of a children's book regarding bullying behavior and frequent speaker regarding the topic of bullying and stress, I am keenly aware of this connection. This book offers a vast understandable quantity of information regarding our predisposition to DNA damage and offers easy to follow steps on how to hold on to or improve our health. A great navigational aid for our journey into the future.
