THE COMPLETE HEALTH REFERENCE
FOR OUR GENERATION

The only book you need!  

You just got back from the doctor’s office. As usual, you were in a rush, and so was your primary care physician. There are so many things you forgot to ask! As if you weren’t worried enough, next week you’ll have to go to the gynecologist because your periods have been completely unpredictable. You’re really up tight about some things your sister told you about irregularity and bloating. She made some noises about ovarian cysts and endometriosis, both of which her best friend Katie Becker had. She’s such an alarmist, but she always seems to plant these little seeds of worry in your head. You’ve heard so many stories that you’re actually a little scared. Where do you turn? 

To the BABY BOOMER BODY BOOK, of course. It’s waiting at home. It gives you the information you need to fully utilize your time with the doctor. It addresses all your concerns and allays your anxiety. It answers all your big questions. It’s the first complete health reference for our generation! 

Man or woman, how many times have you asked yourself:

"Does this pain mean I'm getting arthritis? (Or cancer!?)”. 

“Why don't I want to have sex as much anymore? Is it OK at my age or is there something wrong with me? How often do other people my age do it? I used to wake up with an erection, What happened?” 

“Am I drinking too much?”     

“Oh my god! I’m starting to look like my mother! What are these ugly brown spots on my forehead?! Am I getting too much sun?” 

“Why do they tell me something on the news one night and the next night say the exact opposite?” 

“I'd give anything to have my hair back!” 

“If I had done those exercises when they told me to 20 years ago, would I still have to worry about wetting my pants?!”  

These are the things we are embarrassed to ask, and our doctors can't answer if we don’t. But we HAVE to know. Even those of our friends who claim they don’t care or don’t need these answers, really do need to know.

We’ve finally come of age. Really come of age. Who of us over 40 or 45 goes to a cocktail party and doesn’t have a conversation about menopause, the prostate, osteoporosis, arthritis, reading glasses, hair loss, sex, weight gain, back pain, knee pain, or who knows what else? The problem is that most of us have inadequate knowledge and aren’t exactly sure what's accurate. Are our doctors the authorities we should trust? What about the magazine articles? Or Oprah’s guests? Or CNN? 

This book is different from the others that are just about individual health topics because it’s a single source reference. It’s not just about sex or just about arthritis or just about self-image. Plus, using it is EASY. The guy who’s having difficulty urinating, the woman who’s worried about her hair loss, the man whose erection isn’t what it used to be, the woman with breast cysts whose mother has osteoporosis, the guy who can’t stand his hairline anymore or who’s less sexually active than his own kids; these are the people who want this book. In short, all of us! And if you don’t have one of these problems now, the chances are that you soon will.

This book is meant to meet the needs of all of us. It is an authoritative source. A single source home reference for living and for growing older with grace. This book is our generation’s guide to the future.
