New York : Crown Publishers, c2008. xiii, 450 p. : ill. ; 25 cm. Includes bibliographical references and index. Breakthrough medicine -- 8 steps to wellness. Get bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) ; Avoid chemicals and detoxify your body ; Take nutrition seriously ; Create a healthy GI tract ; Avoid pharmaceuticals unless absolutely necessary ; Supplement your diet ; Exercise regularly ; Get proper sleep -- The future of medicine. Advocate of antiaging medicine Somers presents cutting-edge remedies and preventative care that most doctors just aren't talking about with patients: longevity medicine and the more progressive study of bioidentical hormones. As we age, certain hormones diminish, creating an imbalance that can set off everything from perimenopause to cancer, beginning as early as our thirties. This hormonal imbalance causes many to feel depressed, anxious, fatigued, sexless, sleepless, and ultimately ill, sometimes even terminally. Somers and twenty doctors in the field of anti-aging medicine argue that the processed chemicals in foods and pharmaceuticals we consume are actually slowly eroding our bodies and minds. From estrogen dominance to deceptive thyroid problems, people are suffering, and most don't have access to the treatment they truly need to get better and thrive--until now. This book explores cutting-edge science and delivers proactive advice on the newest treatments for breakthrough health and longevity.--From publisher description. Health. Longevity.
