The author, Dr. Schilling is a retired physician who has seen a lot of failures and successes when practicing medicine. In this book he describes how too many in his former profession focus on treating a patient's symptoms with various medicines instead of addressing the underlying causes. He begins this book by highlighting stories of famous people that he feels were failed by medicine (Elvis Presley, John F. Kennedy, Michael Jackson, Churchill and the composer Beethoven). Following that a scenario of a modern-day Joe is introduced who experiences dangerous side effects from prescribed medications before having the motivation and willpower to follow through on lifestyle changes that solve his medical problem without medication. The author then spends the bulk of the book citing studies that support various measures for staying healthy at the cellular level, which may help prevent heart disease, cancer, joint problems, and brain atrophy. He notes, Balanced nutrition with organic food, vitamins and supplements and exercise will all contribute to having optimal mitochondrial function. He also covers several alternative therapies, including intravenous chelation treatments to flush out toxins and, most particularly, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, saying that If your doctor still recommends [synthetic hormones], maybe remind him that human females are not horses! He then dedicates an entire chapter to the importance of hormone balance for both men and women using replacement of missing hormones with bioidentical hormones. Kirkus review March 17, 2016 stated: Although Schilling ventures into some controversial territory in his latest book, it's generally an engaging, helpful synthesis of ideas that draws on reputable research from the Mayo Clinic and other sources. Overall, it serves as an intensely detailed wake-up call to the importance of preventative health. However, he largely brings an accessible and even-tempered tone to his narrative, warning readers, for example, that preventative health measures can only aid in a delay of aging, not 'eternal living.' A thought-provoking, impassioned plea to be proactive about one's health.
