Ageless Man


Book Description

Sooner or later, starting from forty, each man knows various disorders: general tiredness, overweight, cardiovascular troubles, sexual problems, memory losses, irritability, and tendency to depress. Often, they put these disturbances on stress and overwork. These disorders are actually due to a natural phenomenon easy to diagnose: the progressive reduction in the production of male hormones. It is the androgenic disease of andropause or andropause disease. To neglect this phenomenon leads to early aging and the development of psychological problems, which can affect personal life. However, for many years, the treatment of male aging exists. Thanks to suitable hormonal proportioning, it is possible to slow down aging and even to prevent it. But for lack of information or because they do not dare speak of their problems, men seldom resort to medicine. Georges Debled MD, Associate Professor of Urology, and specialist in andrology joins together in these bright and precise book results of most recent medical research and its forty years of experience on treatment and prevention of aging diseases. He presented this topic in Dallas in 1992. Unfortunately, generally, androgenic disease of andropause is only recognized, occasionally and tardily by doctors, at its end-stage called Low Testosterone in old age. But andropause disease has a commencement around forty, and sometimes before. That condition produces a pathologic fall in the production of dihydrotestosterone, the potent sexual hormone produced from the transformation of testosterone, and, consequently, sexual aging. With time, lack of androgens induces diabetes, high cholesterol, arterial rigidity and hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, osteoarthritis, hearing and eye troubles, nervous breakdown, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's diseases. The Ageless Man explains the facts and principles of sexual aging, prostate problems, and conditions of aging since their early stages; and how to prevent them. Prevention of diseases of aging should be a priority for everyone who wants to live healthy longevity beyond eighty. The Ageless Man is already born. Do you want to be him?

The Hormone Fix


Book Description

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • For women approaching or in menopause, a revolutionary diet and holistic lifestyle program for easier weight loss, better sleep, diminished hot flashes, a clearer head, and a rejuvenated sex drive. “Hormone balance is within reach, and this is the definitive guide for reaching that goal.”—David Perlmutter, MD, author of Grain Brain As women approach menopause, many start to experience the physical and emotional indignities of hormonal fluctuation: metabolic stall and weight gain, hot flashes and night sweats, insomnia, memory loss or brain fog, irritability, low libido, and painful sex. Too often, doctors tell us that these discomforts are to be expected and that we will have to wait them out during “the change”; some of us even agree to be unnecessarily medicated. But Dr. Anna Cabeca’s research and experience with thousands of her patients show that there is a fast-acting and nonpharmaceutical way to dramatically and permanently alleviate these symptoms. The Hormone Fix introduces Dr. Cabeca’s unique Keto-Green protocol, a plan that pairs the hallmarks of ketogenic (low-carb/high fat) eating with diet and lifestyle changes that bring the body’s cellular pH to a healthy alkaline level. The proven result: balanced cortisol and reduced output of insulin, the hormones most responsible for belly fat and weight gain, plus an increase in oxytocin, the “love and happiness” hormone. Whether you are perimenopausal, menopausal, or postmenopausal, The Hormone Fix offers an easy-to-follow program, including • a 10-day quick-start detox diet to jump-start weight loss and reduce symptoms immediately • daily meal plans and weekly shopping lists to take the guesswork out of a month’s worth of Keto-Green eating • 65 delicious and easy-to-make recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, smoothies, and soups • detailed information on vitamin and mineral supplementation that optimizes hormone balance • simple self-assessments and recommended optional lab testing for a better understanding of your hormonal status • tested and trusted stress-reduction and oxytocin-amplifying advice and techniques With The Hormone Fix you can expect to trim down, tap into new and unexpected energy levels, enhance intimacy, and completely revitalize your life! Ready for your fix? “The Hormone Fix is a treasure trove of accurate and user-friendly information that all women who are suffering during menopause need to know and apply.”—Christiane Northrup, MD, author of The Wisdom of Menopause
