Good Overview of Anti-Aging Medicine!
This is a comprehensive work on the subject of anti-aging medicine, and includes information on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HGH, Testosterone, Estrogen/Progesterone, etc.); the use of foods, vitamins, minerals, herbal supplements, and other substances, to raise one’s own hormone levels naturally; and also how diet, exercise, stress, and other lifestyle choices can be made to favor one’s longevity and quality of life. The book is thoroughly footnoted and highlights key research done in these areas, and about the only shortcoming is that this book was published in 2004. However, it still is a Classic in the field of anti-aging medicine, and is a must-read for anyone considering an anti-aging regimen. In particular, the section of the book which describes the role of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, herbal supplements, and other substances in slowing down of aging processes, is excellent!

Anti-aging book review
This book is a good source for information on the many different kinds of supplements that are useful for anti-aging. Its recommendations are useful but one will not find any specific programs for oneself as these are best done with a doctor's advice.

Not the best anti-aging book by a long way
I found the approach taken by the book to be overly-technical, with references to papers that the average reader cannot access or understand, combined with a rather lazy and un-rigorous set of conclusions.A typical chapter might run along the lines of this: Melatonin is a wonder drug! Studies have shown that it has the following benefits [obscure references]. Young people have high levels of Melatonin; old people don't. Conclusion: you should take Melatonin supplements.There is little discussion of why, for example, Melatonin levels are lower in older people, or what dietary or lifestyle factors might contribute to this. Just pop the pill and live for ever!There are also plenty of contradictions in the book. The chapter on exercise quotes studies suggesting that 1 hour of exercise per day is optimal, and that professional athletes and those who exercise for 2 hours per day won't live as long. A later chapter in the book then gives personal stories of people in their seventies or eighties who can perform outstanding physical feats such as running marathons, etc. These people are nearly all professional athletes, or people who train for several hours per day. Duh! What is the message here?There is very little dicsussion of diet, calorie restriction, etc. The emphasis seems to be on which pills you should take and which wonder-foods from the Amazonian rainforests might add an extra year to your lifespan.Also the claim that this is in some way "official" seems far-fetched. There are better books on this fascinating subject.
