The Metabolic Plan: Stay Younger Longer
The choice is You can add forty or more vigorous, fulfilling years to your life. It sounds like science fiction, but in fact it’s cutting-edge science grounded in exciting new research. In The Metabolic Plan , internationally renowned biochemist Stephen Cherniske reveals the medical breakthroughs that enable all of us to extend our lives—and the quality of our lives—starting today.
Far from giving out due to inevitable wear and tear, the human body is naturally endowed with astonishing powers of renewal, self-repair, and regeneration. The secret to unlocking these powers lies not in genetic tinkering or a high-tech fix but in “tricking” your body into adopting the metabolism of a twenty-year-old. The Metabolic Plan offers a comprehensive diet and exercise regimen specifically tailored to boost antioxidant levels, combat disease, increase muscle, reduce fat, and enhance memory and vision. Cherniske shares the age-defying properties of such cutting-edge supplements as 7-Keto and debunks myths about acid/alkaline foods. Here too are detailed metabolic plans geared to the different needs of men and women and to every decade of our lives—so we’ll know exactly what to focus on when.
Longer life, more energy, improved health, a pervasive sense of It’s all within our grasp. At once revolutionary and eminently practical, this is the book that finally solves the puzzle of aging.

This was way too detailed and scientific for me. It also felt like a sales pitch for "Buy my DHEA supplements and it will solve all your problems!" I prefer something that doesn't require so many supplements.

Hands down, this is the best book on overall health that I have read so far. This is the third book by Stephen Cherniske, M.S. Of course, the main focus of the book is maintaining a youthful metabolism into the advanced years, but he also goes into many other areas of health: body ph, water, exercise, caffeine, nutrition, and much more. My now, this is my top recommendation to my friends and family.

If you want to improve your health, live better, and live longer I recommend reading this book! It covers a wide range of topics and includes countless citations and backing for its assertions. One thing I would warn against though, would be overusing supplements like DHEA. The jury seems to still be out regarding some--like DHEA, beta carotene, etc. In the end though, well worth reading!

Hard to read through first half of book, but if you stick it out it gets more inspiring for change.
