Age Right: Turn Back the Clock with a Proven, Personalized, Anti-Aging Program Hardcover - 1999

From the publisher

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.
