Best health & nutrition book ever!
It’s rare to find an exercise and nutrition book that stands apart from the rest. But it’s nearly impossible to find one where the author clearly lives by what they have written. Dr. Life’s book is more than just a book — it’s a manual for healthy living! Nutritional information? Check! Exercise plan? Check! A Plan to optimize those efforts through medical science? Check! And most importantly, the reader gets to pick and choose which parts of the book, if not all, meets the reader’s individual needs and goals. This is the first diet and exercise book that I literally could not put down!Dr. Life’s personal journey is an inspiration. The straightforward manner in which he presents it is appreciated. In fact, all of the information is presented in a way that easy to read and even easier to understand — it just makes sense! And I love the photos of Dr. Life himself demonstrating the various exercises that are recommended — nice touch!If you are looking for a no nonsense approach to healthy living, then this book is for you. No fads, no special equipment to buy, no false promises to lose 20 pounds in 20 days — just a prescription for life from Dr. Life.

Go Jeff and I hope many take note
While the impact of a 73 year old torso bulging on the cover is somewhat shocking, Dr Life’s book is an excellent guide to physical resilience and healthy aging. At very least the philosophy underpinning Dr Life’s journey and the book is worth exploring and testing in one’s own life. Clearly, the traditional medical model that waits for symptoms of disease is not working. Optimising our health is an obvious answer.Having worked in preventative health for 26 years, the content is excellent. The approach to optimising your health is sound. I loved the detailed exploration of nutrition and exercise. This man takes the cultivation of good health very seriously and gets way beyond the simple platitudes of most “lifestyle scripts”. For those of us in the 40 plus category, I recommend several reads and working hard at putting the dietary and exercise recommendations into action. Within six weeks I enjoyed the benefits.I am not qualified to comment on the hormone replacement ideas and remain a little cautious. His advice is cautious and sensible in that careful measurement, qualified advice and regular monitoring are essential. Nevertheless, this author seriously walks his talk and shows how we can enjoy healthy aging in a way that very few ever achieve.

Worthwhile but misleading.
The advice in this book regarding diet, nutrition, exercise and stress management is valid and worthwhile, but readers must realize that Dr. Life acknowledges using and having used Human Growth Hormone. In short, readers are not going to achieve a physique like Dr. Life’s without using Human Growth Hormone, and restrictions on the the prescription of Human Growth Hormone make it increasingly difficult to find a physician willing to prescribe HGH. Dr. Life’s book is plainly designed to draw traffic to the websites of Dr. Life and Cenegenics. In this regard, Dr. Life’s book reminds me of the bodybuilding magazines that use pictures of physiques built on steroids to sell (based upon a misleading message) protein powders and other supplements.

Made a Difference quickly
Well, suffice it to say that I am a bit stunned that just the basic diet advice in this book has made a huge impact on how I feel physically in a very short time. I am 47 and overweight, (320, used to weigh 147 and did martial arts for years) and out of shape. Paying the price for years of sedentary jobs and too much time in front of a computer, and poor eating. Got this book for my Kindle, and immediately made some adjustments to my diet; I was already using a kind of Mediterranean diet, being Italian, but after reading the very clear explanations in his book about what sugar, salt, etc can do, I made some changes. The changes I made were: cut sugar way down, stop drinking fruit juice (orange juice, etc), cut salt way down, drink alot more water, eat more frequent smaller meals, as well as the recommended fruits and proteins, and not eat 2 hours before going to bed. This was no fluke…I have clearly stopped retaining water, can jog up stairs now, have “energy” in my legs which had felt weak before, and my heart palpitations (usally when I would get up and start walking, or lay down) have virtually ceased. Kind of angry at myself for not doing things soooner, but what really was at the core of my decision to make a change was his idea about not looking at ourselves as inevitably deteriorating, but rather as being able to achieve great health at any age. That combined with the very easy to understand explanations of nurtitional science just was perfect for me. I have not felt this good in years…now I am motivated to buy a home gym and work on the muscle piece.My biggest obstacle to excersizing and moving was lack of energy…this has changed radically for the better in just a matter of two weeks.addendum: update as of June 23d I have lost 30 pounds!! Sweet! Alot of it water I am sure, but you have to start somewhere. No more bloat! Hittin’ the gym again today!!addendum 2: as of today, august 28, I have lost 50 pounds. Still adhering to key recommendations of this book.addendum 3: My review is from the perspective of an out-of-shape layperson, not a professional nutritional book reviewer or athlete. Take it for what its worth. I shared the impact the book had on me, which was substantial. Latest was my blood sugar has changed to normal, from my being nearly diagnosed diabetic.
