Certi-ed anti-aging specialist Dr. Roger Garcia has spent his career developing what all doctors want for their patients: the route to a future of vibrant health and longevity. He journeyed through the broken bodies and spirits of hospital emergency rooms, family practices, addiction centers and cosmetic clinics. He even joined the very elite ranks of physicians who are licensed as trial lawyers in an effort to deliver and legally protect the preventive medicine that he knew would lead to a lifetime of health and vitality for his patients. Despite his vast knowledge, Dr. Garcia's humility, compassion and openness set him apart as a superior healer. With simple language and inspiring examples, he explains important breakthroughs in age-delaying treatment, including naturally safe, bioidentical hormones, optimal nutrition, effective exercise, healthy relationships and powerful attitudes. But, more importantly, he explains how taking action in every area can massively amplify the outcome and actually reduce age-related symptoms. The foundation for Dr. Garcia's approach is using bioidentical hormones, which are safe, plant-based supplements that are molecularly identical to human hormones, to restore what age and environmental or lifestyle factors have destroyed. Dr. Garcia shows how they help to steadily rebalance the body, healing its intricate systems and turning back our biological clock for more vibrant, youthful vitality. Wealth without health is meaningless. Age well. Age to perfection.

She offers innovative techniques to generate 'sticky' slogans and headlines, easy-to-apply copywriting tips, and practical revision strategies. Berman has updated the book to reflect how online media has changed its approach from 'pushing' information to the audience to 'pulling' - i.e., engaging the audience in a brand. By using social networking groups like Facebook and Twitter, the author points out, even small companies can have a giant digital footprint by leveraging their online presence, offering relevant insights, and stimulating consumer-created content. In tough economic times, Berman says, savvy advertisers don't need huge budgets to engage the audience and create forums for them to share ideas.
