This 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.

I 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!

I have read quite a few books on nutrition and looking younger and I have to say Oz Garcia's Redesigning 50 is really one of the best on providing you with insight to how your nutrition is affecting your body and potentially leading you toward aging.

The Redesigning 50 program about which Oz Garcia writes is applicable to every person regardless of age. If you want to look great, feel great and live a long life this is a great read.

In Redesigning 50, Oz Garcia gives you the tools you need to improve your self physically, emotionally and mentally. It should not be considered a self-help book but a self-investment guide.

Redesigning 50 should be the next book you read.

I got a lot out of this book and my review definitely does not do the book the justice it deserves. If you want to live longer and look better then you should give Oz Garcia's Redesigning 50 a try.

Reading this book and following the program might be the best advice you ever take.

I'll have to 100% agree w/a previous reviewer

in that there is abosolutely nothing new or earth shattering here in this book....at all. If you're looking

for some magic sage piece of beauty advice here, you won't

find it...what I do highly suggest, picking up a copy of Health, Prevention or Womens Health magazines or better yet get subscriptions to any or all of them....you'll get monthly GREAT health & beauty information that goes far beyone what's in the pages of this very over-rated, over-priced book. Or just do some research online...you'll get better tips on creating a new, fresher, healthier and happier you! Save your money on this one however, I wish I had!

I 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!

Garcia's new book is the anti aging bible for nutrition and supplements, hormone therapy and minimally invasive cosmetic surgery. One of the things you can count on from Oz is that he brings together the top experts from each field to speak. For example he brought in Dr Lionel Bissoon to talk about Mesotherpy and Park Ave Surgeon Dr Lisa Zdinak to explain Thermage, Carboxytherapy and other new technologies. Its simply a must read for anyone who wants to look and feel younger.

Oz Garcia is and always has been way way ahead of the curve. His level of research and innovation is impressive. And he tells all in this book. Really! Everything anyone would need to know to feel and look 10 years younger is all here. I found page after page of the most up to date advice from Oz and from other five star specialists.

Oz is the bomb! I saw him a year ago and within just six months he transformed my life. He put me on a healthy diet, gave me the right supplements to take and got me off of sugar and coffee (that was the hardest part but sooo worth it). My energy level is twice what it used to be. I'm approaching 50 (I'm 48) and I'm frequently told how young I look. I thank Oz for that. No more dark circles under my eyes! Check out this book as well as his others. He really is a genius.

There 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!!!

Once again Oz Garcia has made another great contribution to health and fitness. This book is easy to read, well written, carefully researched and full of useful information. Its a book which really gives incredible insights into "age proofing" ourselves with tips on prevention, maintainence and recommendations for many types of intervention to slow down the aging process. This book is a must read for both lay person and health care professionals.
