Product Description

We all want to stay young and healthy for as long as possible, but most people believe that there's no way to halt Mother Nature's aging clock. With his strategic approach to stopping -- and even reversing -- the aging process, international antiaging expert Karlis Ullis, M.D., will show you that most people are wrong. Based on more than twenty years of pioneering work with Olympic and professional athletes, Age Right shows you how to create an antiaging program tailored to your unique biological profile, a program that will add years of vitality and good health to your life.

First, Dr. Ullis discusses the most current theories on how and why we age. He describes the four key factors associated with aging (energy, sex, lifestyle, and biomechanical motion) and the three aging pathways (Mind, Body, and Spirit). Using the self-tests and questionnaires provided in the book, you determine your unique antiaging pathway. Then Dr. Ullis shows you how to build your personal antiaging program, with state-of-the-art recommendations on nutrition, exercise, and antiaging supplements that include a basic "Antiaging Cocktail" as well as additional vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytonutrients, amino acids, and herbs.

Packed with invaluable information, Age Right contains an antiaging "day planner" to help you formulate your program and track your progress; advice on how to enlist the help of your doctor and a resource list of health care professionals; sources for supplements and at-home diagnostic tests; instructions for a series of antiaging exercises that fit into any schedule; the Antiaging Medicine Chest, an A-to-Z list of supplements and what they can -- and can't -- do for you; and a guide to the most commonly used over-the-counter hormones: DHEA, melatonin, and pregnenolone.

Women and men following Dr. Ullis's program have reported decreased body fat, increased exercise capacity, increased coordination and strength, more vitality, and an enhanced sexual drive. By any measure, they get younger. And so can you.

3.0 out of 5 stars General information rather than specifics, January 13, 2000

By	"indianna" (Australia) - See all my reviews

If you are relatively new to longevity, anti-aging etc., this is a good introduction. It presents general information. If you are looking for information you can apply in practice, such as the quantity of supplements you might consider taking and the respective scientific references, then it is not for you. In this case get "Renewal the Anti-Aging Revolution". It is the best I have read, period.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dr. Ullis presents a plan that makes sense., March 11, 1999

By A Customer

Dr. Ullis's guide to evaluating personal health and longevity status is an interesting exercise by itself. It made me think about aspects of my lifestyle and habits that I hadn't really analyzed before. After completing that segment of his plan I found a real motivation for implementing his suggestions. Especially helpful to me was the table explaining a wide number of supplement products. The table made it easy for me to sort out what would really help me from what might help me or what wouldn't help at all. Thanks, Dr. Ullis, for helping me feel more in control of my "lifetime!"

5.0 out of 5 stars 10 years younger! with supplements, hormones and herbs., March 6, 1999

By A Customer

"Age Right" by Dr. Karlis Uliss with Greg Ptacek Anyone concerned about diminished sex drive, lack of energy, weight gain, depression or other "normal" signs of aging should order a copy of "Age Right," by Dr. Karlis Ullis, with Greg Ptacek. An easy-to-use home guide for assessing and treating symptoms of aging, "Age Right" offers handy advice for choosing supplements, hormones and herbal remedies. Before I read "Age Right," I thought my only defense against aging was eating right and exercising. I found out that was only half the story. I can't wait for Dr. Uliss' next book, "T-Boosters."
