The Gene Makeover: The 21st Century Anti-Aging Breakthrough

You know how victims and perpetrators are identified by their DNA on TV shows like "CSI" and "Law & Order." Now, that same science can help you lead a longer, healthier life. DNA-deoxyribonulceic acid-is the chemical inside your cells that carries the genetic instructions that make you unique. Aging occurs in DNA as cells replicate themselves continually in a process similar to photocopying. As the normal functioning of our cells becomes less efficient over time due to environmental, lifetyle and hereditary factors, those cells produce less accurate copies, causing malfunctioning throughout the body that results in degenerative diseases and aging. Thanks to the latest advances in genetic science, you no longer have to be a victim of your genetic inheritance. Dr. Giampapa and other researchers have developed a new concept called Personal Genetic Health (PGH). This pioneering PGH Program is based on determining what's needed to promote each individual's health and longevity. By identifying the activity level of five key groups of health control genes and then influencing their favorabole expression with nutraceuticals, supplements, exercise, and lifestyle changes, you can increase your lifespan and decrease your risk of developing certain diseases. By addressing the causes of disease and aging-and actually reversing them-this new anti-aging frontier allows you to control your health and well-being. Now you have the proactive power to optimize the quality of your life.

This is a topic I'm very interested in and have read quite a bit about. So I was looking forward to reading this book. While it did contain some interesting information, it was all aimed toward supporting the authors' own products. There can be a fine line here.

For example, while The Pericone Prescription (written by Dr. Pericone who did a PBS fund raiser) also mentioned his products and supplements, it was very heavy on information. Based on that information it was possible to re-create his entire program without using any of his products. However The Gene Makeover doesn't do the same thing. I'd go as far as to say it was an infomercial, although one with fewer testimonials and more real information, yet nevertheless it was an advertisement for their program.

I felt cheated that I'd paid good money for this cosmetically treated sales vehicle. To be fair there was useable information regarding nutritional supplements that could be used, but those were not the real core of what they implied could be done. For that benefit it appeared you had to contact them. They crossed the line, and I'd never read anything by these authors again.

This book offers hope to the babyboomer generation who recognizes that we are slowly becoming our parents. By following the comments and advice offered in this helpful book, we know that we no longer have to follow in our families genetic past. The authors create the view of a cheery healthy future with sound nutritional advice. Highly recommended.

This book offers a vast understandable quantity of information regarding our predisposition to DNA damage and offers easy to follow steps on how to hold on to or improve our health. A great navigational aid for our journey into the future.
