My Resolution to You

The first is that we’ve purchased a brand-new 17,000-sq.-ft. building that will allow us to expand the current wellness clinic and build the center that I’ve always wanted. It will be like a cross between the Canyon Ranch, the Pritikin Center & Spa, the Cooper Aerobics Center, and the Life Extension Foundation.
In the next five years, we want to make 100 years old the new 50.

9.8 Years Younger

Aging is something that begins on a cellular level. It starts with telomeres. They’re the timekeepers attached to every strand of your DNA. But they get shorter each time your cells divide – until eventually, cell division stops and cells die. The shorter your telomeres are, the older your cells act – and the older you look and feel as a result.
So the solution is to stop your telomeres from shortening. This is how…

My 3 Steps for Younger Skin

Have you ever been told you look younger than you really are? I’m sure it made your day. Heck… it probably even made your whole week.
After all, youth means beauty in our culture. And a young, beautiful face is impossible to ignore.
And there’s one thing that defines a youthful appearance more than anything else – your skin.
But maintaining a young-looking complexion is tough. Every day, your skin is under attack. From things like environmental toxins… UV radiation… harmful chemicals in your skincare products… stress… lack of nutrients…. hormones…

Is Your Skin Starving?

Here’s something you won’t hear from your dermatologist. If you want the best-looking skin possible, you need to make sure you get enough of one overlooked nutrient. It’s the essential fatty acid gamma-linolenic acid (GLA).
Unfortunately for us, we can’t make GLA in our bodies. We have to get it from outside sources. And it’s not called “essential” for nothing. Your body has to have it to help maintain your largest organ – your skin.
Your skin uses GLA to:

My Favorite Herb for Natural Pain Relief

Have you heard about the herb kava? It was banned in Europe, and now people are afraid of it. It was used in high doses as a tranquilizer, and it became a popular alternative to prescription drugs. People used it to help them calm down, relax and go to sleep because in large quantities it has that effect.
Just a few years ago it was one of the top-selling herbs around the world. Now it’s been almost totally forgotten. And that’s too bad because it’s really a very good anti-inflammatory. You can use either the root or the leaves to ease inflammation, but only the root was used as a sedative and an intoxicant.

Three Easy Ways To Stay Young

You’ve probably noticed that telomeres are getting a lot of media attention. The BBC, CBS News in New York and L.A., and newspapers like USA Today and The New York Times have all done reports.
Do you know what telomeres are? They cap the ends of your chromosomes and keep your DNA strands from fraying.
But each time your cells divide, your telomeres get shorter, and your cells act older.

Use Marine Plants and Be Among the Longest-Lived People on Earth

We Americans are doing better than you might think on aging. Contrary to how bad things sound on the news, the truth is, we have more centenarians than any other country in the world. But if you look at average life spans, it’s Okinawans who live longer than any other people on Earth.
And elderly Okinawans rarely die from diseases like heart disease and cancer and are known for aging slowly. The Okinawa Centenarian Study examined why this Japanese island’s elderly are the longest-lived people on the planet. And the study revealed an interesting staple of their daily diet:
Edible plants from the sea.1

I Thought This Would Happen…

There’s a very small group of people using a new secret to help reset their “biological ages.” They are getting “biologically younger,” and their blood tests show astounding results when tested for their biological ages.
This technology, based on a Nobel-Prize-winning breakthrough, could put you in this very exclusive company.
I should know. I’m one of them.

Look 30% Younger…

The groundbreaking research on how we age won the Nobel Prize in 2009.
I’m talking about discovering the secret of aging. From this point on, aging will never be the same.
In laboratories throughout the world, researchers are using this discovery to alter different features of aging.

Shut Down the Aging of Your Skin

On Oct. 26, 2008, people all over the country attended my first ever conference on telomeres (pronounced tell-o-meers).
Surrounded by some of the world’s most recognized, cutting-edge researchers in the field, we shared how telomeres are the key to aging. And everyone who witnessed the event walked away with the ability to control their aging clock and add years of abundant health to their lives.
Telomeres are the “time keepers” attached to every strand of your DNA. They’re critical to youthful cell function. But each time your cells divide, your telomeres get shorter. When your telomeres run down, cell division stops and your life ends…

They've Added Caffeine to What?

A man walks into his kitchen in slow motion, yawning and rubbing his shoulder. His shirt’s unbuttoned and his tie’s undone. This guy just can’t get it together. He walks right past the fridge, and right past his wife and kids who he doesn’t even notice. He goes straight for the cabinet and grabs a box of “Bayer AM.”
All of a sudden, the sun comes up and he’s at full speed. His tie is done, he grabs his jacket and briefcase and he’s out the door with a smile.
I saw this commercial yesterday morning after I did my usual PACE routine and turned on the Today show. I shook my head in amazement…

"This Will Change the World as We Know It"

This had such an impact on me, I still remember it: I was sitting at my desk almost 20 years ago. I like to stay abreast of non-medical scientific literature. So I picked up my issue of Scientific American and something jumped off the page at me.
Elizabeth Blackburn had made a truly revolutionary discovery. I’ll never forget it.
When I read that she’d found a solution to aging already in our genes, I took out a piece of paper and wrote down something that I still have today. It says, “This will change the world as we know it.”
Now, finally, it seems other people think so, too. Elizabeth Blackburn won the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
Why all the fuss? Let me explain why this discovery is so powerful…

Cleopatra's Beauty Secret…Only Better

Cleopatra… just her name makes me think “beautiful.”
It’s widely written that she took baths in milk and used natural mixtures of honey and aloe on her skin. What’s less well-known is that she also used clay for her complexion.
The kinds of clay found in Egypt are “bentonite” clays. They contain volcanic ash and other elements. But most of what they’re made of is a kind of clay now called montmorillonite. It’s named after the town in France where it was first identified…

Your Built-In Way to Fight Back

Your body is constantly being attacked by bacteria and other viruses.
But, you have a built-in way to fight back – your T cells.
T cells are a form of white blood cells that fight off infection and disease.
T cells do their best to destroy sickness, disease, and other invaders your body doesn’t recognize. And if they need help, they copy themselves for more fighting power…

"Red Wine Vitamin" Zaps Wrinkles

Researchers recently discovered a surprising new benefit of red wine…

Now, ongoing research shows resveratrol helps you maintain younger-looking skin.
