Bio-Age: Ten Steps to a Younger You is an all-inclusive look at the aging process and what the average person can do to slow it down. Authors Brad J. King and Dr. Michael A. Schmidt have not only surveyed the latest theories from the scientific literature on aging, they have asked the top researchers in key areas of that science to contribute essays outlining the most up-to-date information on anti-aging strategies.

Part I of Bio-Age brings readers the current wisdom on the aging process in both men and women, including a look at how our modern lifestyles accelerate the process.

Part II features chapters on specific aspects of the new anti-aging science, written by experts in their field.

About the Author

Brad J.After extensive research in the fields of fat loss and anti-aging, Brad has concluded that premature aging has more to do with loss of muscle tone and a sedentary lifestyle than the passing of time.

Dr. Michael A. Schmidt, co-author of Bio-Age, is a nutritional biochemist and neuroscientist who has also written Smart Fats and Tired of Being Tired. His latest research concerns how sugars react with protein in the body, eventually causing malfunction and cell deterioration. In this book, he takes the research one step further, showing how proper nutrition can inhibit this process. Dr. Schmidt also tackles the power of the mind when it comes to inhibiting aging -- it is true that we're only as old as we think we are.
