Over the years it’s always been perfectly acceptable for men to let their hair go gray. In fact, men with salt-and-pepper hair are called “distinguished.” Women, on the other hand, are more often referred to as “older” or “matronly.”

And even though most people associate gray hair with aging, some women can see gray hair as early as in their teens.

To simplify the “sciency” details of why your hair turns gray, here’s what happens:

You have cells called melanocytes that become defective or die off. These are the cells that produce the pigment known as melanin that give your skin and hair its color. Genetics, vitamin B12 deficiency, thyroid disorders, smoking and vitiligo (a skin condition that causes loss of pigment) are just a few things that can cause your hair to lose its natural color.

Severe stress can contribute to your graying hair as well, because it contributes to free radical damage. “Graying could be a result of chronic free radical damage,” says Ralf Paus, professor of dermatology at the University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein in Lubeck, Germany.

According to the book, Beauty Bias: Discrimination and Social Power by Bonnie Berry (Praeger, July 30, 2007), “Three out of four middle-aged women color their gray hair as do 13 percent of middle-aged men.”

But have no fear. Scientists have been working on the antidote for gray hair for years.

In fact, scientists at French cosmetics company L’Oreal have already identified the genes that may play a key role in gray hair, and they’ve been working on a treatment. “We could be talking about a pill or we could be talking about a topical treatment,” says Dr. Bruno Bernard, the lead researcher in this study.

Whether you color your hair or let nature take its course is a personal decision. Only you can decide what’s right for you.

Shield your face from damage.

On a trip to the Peruvian Amazon, I “accidentally” discovered a natural skin

beautifier that’s unknown to the outside world.

You won’t find it in any department store or hear about it on any daytime talk show.

The story of how I found it would make a good adventure novel… but the results I’ve seen with my patients are remarkable.

I have good reason to believe this could be the best skin beautifier and anti-aging tonic in the world.

It has the ability to visibly reduce the appearance of wrinkles, blemishes, and keep your face and hands supple and baby soft.

Today I’ll show you how you can be one of the first to watch lines, wrinkles, blemishes and age spots fade away. You’ll see rough, tired skin become smooth to reveal a softer, younger face underneath.

Glide your hand across your face and you’ll feel a firm, silky, youthful texture… look into your bathroom mirror and you’ll find younger, more beautiful appearing skin. The kind you haven’t seen in years.

I Went to Peru in Search of Healing Herbs…
What I Found Will Make You Look Years Younger

The women of Peru keep an extraordinary beauty secret.

There we were, having coffee in a small mountain town, high above the Amazon basin. Maggie, my Peruvian friend, was telling us about her career as a polo player and show jumper.

Someone at the table remarked, “How do you stay looking so good when you’re always outdoors…"

That’s when she let it slip.

“There’s something we have in this country that keeps our skin looking young. Without it I’d look like an old hag.”

The women at the table all sat up a little straighter, waiting for her to say more.

But Maggie just sat there with a grin on her face and took another sip of café au lait.

Sue, my American friend, was about to burst.

“Are you going to tell us what it is… or do I have to guess?”

“Caracol Bella.”

Sue looked at Maggie, waiting for a translation.

“It’s a natural remedy. It soothes your skin and locks in moisture. In fact, it can fade the appearance of the ugly things old age does to your face. Like I said, I would look like a hag without it.”

Sue was hooked.

And I was intrigued. Could these lovely South American women really hold the secret to soft and beautiful skin?

Later that afternoon I asked Maggie for more details. Turns out, women have been using this healing serum for about 15 years. Yet here in the United States, no one has access to it, or even knows about it.

How the 5-Star Restaurants of Paris
Led to a Remarkable Discovery

Back in 1980, a family in Chile made a startling find.

The dry, withered hands of their farm workers suddenly became incredibly soft.

On their farm, they raised escargot for export to the famous restaurants and bistros of Paris.

Handling the snails had a rejuvenating effect on their skin.

After 15 years of research, the first serum hit the market. Today it’s the best-kept beauty secret in the world.

How does it work?

The escargot, a variety known as Cryptomphalus aspersa, produce an enzyme that seals in moisture and supports young, beautiful skin.

Escargot use this enzyme as a kind of shield when they hibernate.

When the farm workers handled them, they found their skin softened, regenerated … and the appearance of spots and blemishes faded away.

Women like Maggie have been using this formula for years to protect their skin and keep them looking young.

I was so impressed by the results, I arranged to bring Caracol Bella here to the United States.

And There’s Clinical Evidence to Back It Up…

The journal Skin Pharmacology and Physiology published a study confirming the rejuvenating benefits.¹

U.S. and European researchers collaborated on a landmark study showing the molecular basis for this remarkable substance.

They concluded the enzymes found in Caracol Bella:

• Possess skin-regenerative properties
• Contain powerful antioxidants to fight skin damage
• Provide cellular regeneration

I’ve seen these results first hand.

Here’s what some of my patients are saying:

“I’ve already noticed a change to my face in softness and smoothness. I’m loving it! Also, it seems my cheeks aren’t as red as usual. I have lots of capillaries over my cheeks that make my cheeks look irritated with the redness, so I have to use makeup to hide them. They don’t seem as red as they have for the past 20 years. All in all, I am really liking this. I’m 57 and am always looking for something to ease the redness of my face and help keep my skin smooth and soft and combat any future wrinkles. I think I’ve found what I need in Caracol Bella. Thank you!!” -Nancy C.

“I’m amazed at how well Caracol Bella works. I’ve used it on my c-section scar for just 4 weeks and already I see great results. I also like the way it feels. It goes on cool and clean, not greasy or oily. And it smells fresh. I’ll definitely keep using it.” -Arlene M.

Powerful Antioxidants Shield Your Face From Damage

The study on the serum found in Caracol Bella showed it has powerful antioxidants, especially SOD. This “primary” antioxidant helps keep your face beautiful, even under the harshest conditions. It’s also your best chance at keeping a fresh, taut face that projects a clean, warm glow.

The researchers discovered that when the serum was applied twice a day for three months, signs of environmental stress were reduced significantly.²

SOD is a powerful antioxidant that helps fight free radical damage, helping your skin to look its best. That’s why the clinical results are so impressive. SOD is the first antioxidant to attack harmful “superoxide radicals” by transforming them into less reactive ions.

Caracol Bella triggers an orchestrated and well-rounded support of your skin, while at the same time protecting you even in the harshest environments.

But there’s another beautifier at play here…

Lock in Moisture to Keep Your Skin Firm and Tight

Caracol Bella provides your skin with one of the most important nutrients for beautiful skin: hyaluronic acid (HA).

HA is a hallmark of youth. Like water, HA hydrates your skin and gives your skin cells shape and structure. When you’re young and levels of HA are high, your face looks and feels smooth and tight. Your face has a clean, youthful shape.

But as you age, and levels of HA drop, your skin cells lose their structure. And when they start to collapse, your face starts to sag and droop.

HA has the amazing ability to hold vast amounts of water, absorbing around 1,000 times its weight in water. It enhances volume and elasticity to restore a youthful balance to your face.

And that’s exactly what your skin needs.

Without enough moisture, your skin becomes loose, dry and wrinkled, adding years to your age. But when your skin has enough HA, all that water plumps up your skin for a fuller, younger appearance.

When you use it topically, significant results can occur. That’s because your skin can absorb HA at a cellular level. Unlike some other moisturizers that simply sit on the top of your skin, HA sinks into the deeper levels of your skin tissue.

It also acts as a “carrier,” delivering all of the anti-aging ingredients in Caracol Bella deeply into your cells to create youthful skin that no store-bought product can match.3

HA on its own would be enough to make Caracol Bella an amazing find.

But the beautifying qualities of the serum, combined with its powerful antioxidants and HA, make Caracol Bella worthy of its near legendary status in South America.

And unless you travel to South America, there’s no way to get anything like it.

So let me make this easy for you.

But there’s something you should know… if you only take it as a supplement, you’re missing out.

Not only can resveratrol help you stay youthful from the inside, it can also help make you look younger on the outside.

Unfortunately, most skin care products that try to deliver these benefits to your skin are useless. The resveratrol you mostly find in these products can’t penetrate your skin deeply enough for it to make a difference. The resveratrol is too unstable, and breaks down before it can have any effect.

But thanks to Dr. Sears, this is no longer a problem. After years of research, he’s tracked down a unique way to not only make resveratrol usable on your skin… but also make it more powerful.

When you apply his formula, it gets absorbed and reaches a place deep within your skin layers called your “DEJ,” or dermal-epidermal junction.

Your DEJ is a ridged area that connects your inner layer of skin (dermis) and your outer layer of skin (epidermis). The ridges help deliver nutrients to your skin, but as you get older, your DEJ starts to flatten. That means your outer skin layer may not get enough nutrients or blood flow to your inner layer.

When this happens, it becomes much harder for your skin to repair itself. And makes it more prone to wrinkles and fine lines.

Regular anti-aging creams and skin products don’t help solve this problem because the ingredients aren’t powerful – or stable – enough to reach all the way to your DEJ.

But Dr. Sears’ has found a special form of resveratrol that’s stable, much more easily absorbed and usable. It’s called “metabiotics resveratrol.”

This unique type of resveratrol is produced through natural fermentation. This allows it to help maintain the structural integrity of your skin cells in two ways. First, it’s able to penetrate deep and deliver antioxidant power where you need it most.

This helps relieve micro-inflammation¹, allowing your skin to repair its cellular matrix naturally.

Second, this effect promotes firming and smoothing, giving your face a fresh, warm, vibrant look.

Studies show this resveratrol:

• Improves skin tone – it promotes synthesis of Collagen IV in the DEJ²
• Reduces the appearance of wrinkles – it improves DEJ structural integrity³
• Lifts the skin and smoothes expression lines⁴
• Increases hydration – this improves overall appearance of the skin⁵

The graph below shows you how this form of resveratrol can help the look and feel of your face in so many ways. People using the metabiotics resveratrol could feel the difference over a placebo:

Number of people using Metrabiotics Resveratrol who saw results.

These huge improvements in skin appearance speak for themselves:

• Improved the look of wrinkles: Up by 61%
• Improvement in definition of lips: Up by 70%
• Better skin complexion: Up by 61%
• Improved the look of lines around the lips: Up by 55%
• Improved wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes: Up by 51%

This advanced resveratrol goes deeper and is more effective than the expensive skin care products you might find at the department store. It has what you need to keep your skin functioning and repairing itself like it should.

It stimulates your body to make more collagen and support the integrity of the DEJ on its own.

And that’s how you get youthful-looking skin!

In fact, if you’re anything like my patients who’ve tried Dr. Sears formula which he calls Silk you’ll see a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles, dark spots and the fine lines around your eyes… in less than a month.

Try Silk for yourself and by this time next month you could have younger, smoother, healthier-looking skin.

It takes just a few minutes, but it’s the easiest way to:

• Minimize your pores
• Even out your skin tone
• Chase away those red marks that linger from your last breakout
• Give your face a smoother appearance
• And even help your makeup go on more evenly

I’m talking about exfoliation—clearing out the dry skin cells that build up in your pores and on the surface of your face.

It turns out that a lot of women begin to skip this step once they’re out of their 20s. But whether your skin is oily or dry, sensitive or acne-prone, young or mature…exfoliation will make all the difference in the way you feel about your skin.

It happens all the time at the clinic. My patients come in feeling at war with their complexions. No matter how much they cleanse and moisturize, they just can’t seem to get clear, youthful skin. But after I remind them to exfoliate at least once a week, they start to look and feel a lot better.

What seems to surprise them the most is the smoother makeup application. But think about it—when dry skin cells accumulate on your face, your makeup can stick to them and create a patchy, uneven look. This is especially true if you wear mineral makeup, like I do.

By exfoliating once or twice a week, you can transform your face into a “clean canvas” and get back that youthful glow.

I typically do it the old-fashioned way, with a washcloth and warm water. You can also add a pinch of sugar to your regular facial cleanser and wash gently.

Sincerely,

Shield your face from damage.

On a trip to the Peruvian Amazon, I “accidentally” discovered a natural skin

beautifier that’s unknown to the outside world.

You won’t find it in any department store or hear about it on any daytime talk show.

The story of how I found it would make a good adventure novel… but the results I’ve seen with my patients are remarkable.

I have good reason to believe this could be the best skin beautifier and anti-aging tonic in the world.

It has the ability to visibly reduce the appearance of wrinkles, blemishes, and keep your face and hands supple and baby soft.

Today I’ll show you how you can be one of the first to watch lines, wrinkles, blemishes and age spots fade away. You’ll see rough, tired skin become smooth to reveal a softer, younger face underneath.

Glide your hand across your face and you’ll feel a firm, silky, youthful texture… look into your bathroom mirror and you’ll find younger, more beautiful appearing skin. The kind you haven’t seen in years.

I Went to Peru in Search of Healing Herbs…
 What I Found Will Make You Look Years Younger

The women of Peru keep an extraordinary beauty secret.

There we were, having coffee in a small mountain town, high above the Amazon basin. Maggie, my Peruvian friend, was telling us about her career as a polo player and show jumper.

Someone at the table remarked, “How do you stay looking so good when you’re always outdoors…”

That’s when she let it slip.

“There’s something we have in this country that keeps our skin looking young. Without it I’d look like an old hag.”

The women at the table all sat up a little straighter, waiting for her to say more.

But Maggie just sat there with a grin on her face and took another sip of café au lait.

Sue, my American friend, was about to burst.

“Are you going to tell us what it is… or do I have to guess?”

“Caracol Bella.”

Sue looked at Maggie, waiting for a translation.

“It’s a natural remedy. It soothes your skin and locks in moisture. In fact, it can fade the appearance of the ugly things old age does to your face. Like I said, I would look like a hag without it.”

Sue was hooked.

And I was intrigued. Could these lovely South American women really hold the secret to soft and beautiful skin?

Later that afternoon I asked Maggie for more details. Turns out, women have been using this healing serum for about 15 years. Yet here in the United States, no one has access to it, or even knows about it.

How the 5-Star Restaurants of Paris
 Led to a Remarkable Discovery

Back in 1980, a family in Chile made a startling find.

The dry, withered hands of their farm workers suddenly became incredibly soft.

On their farm, they raised escargot for export to the famous restaurants and bistros of Paris.

Handling the snails had a rejuvenating effect on their skin.

After 15 years of research, the first serum hit the market. Today it’s the best-kept beauty secret in the world.

How does it work?

The escargot, a variety known as Cryptomphalus aspersa, produce an enzyme that seals in moisture and supports young, beautiful skin.

Escargot use this enzyme as a kind of shield when they hibernate.

When the farm workers handled them, they found their skin softened, regenerated … and the appearance of spots and blemishes faded away.

Women like Maggie have been using this formula for years to protect their skin and keep them looking young.

I was so impressed by the results, I arranged to bring Caracol Bella here to the United States.

And There’s Clinical Evidence to Back It Up…

The journal Skin Pharmacology and Physiology published a study confirming the rejuvenating benefits.¹

U.S. and European researchers collaborated on a landmark study showing the molecular basis for this remarkable substance.

They concluded the enzymes found in Caracol Bella:

• Possess skin-regenerative properties
• Contain powerful antioxidants to fight skin damage
• Provide cellular regeneration

I’ve seen these results first hand.

Here’s what some of my patients are saying:

“I’ve already noticed a change to my face in softness and smoothness. I’m loving it! Also, it seems my cheeks aren’t as red as usual. I have lots of capillaries over my cheeks that make my cheeks look irritated with the redness, so I have to use makeup to hide them. They don’t seem as red as they have for the past 20 years. All in all, I am really liking this. I’m 57 and am always looking for something to ease the redness of my face and help keep my skin smooth and soft and combat any future wrinkles. I think I’ve found what I need in Caracol Bella. Thank you!!” -Nancy C.

“I’m amazed at how well Caracol Bella works. I’ve used it on my c-section scar for just 4 weeks and already I see great results. I also like the way it feels. It goes on cool and clean, not greasy or oily. And it smells fresh. I’ll definitely keep using it.” -Arlene M.

Powerful Antioxidants Shield Your Face From Damage

The study on the serum found in Caracol Bella showed it has powerful antioxidants, especially SOD. This “primary” antioxidant helps keep your face beautiful, even under the harshest conditions. It’s also your best chance at keeping a fresh, taut face that projects a clean, warm glow.

The researchers discovered that when the serum was applied twice a day for three months, signs of environmental stress were reduced significantly.²

SOD is a powerful antioxidant that helps fight free radical damage, helping your skin to look its best. That’s why the clinical results are so impressive. SOD is the first antioxidant to attack harmful “superoxide radicals” by transforming them into less reactive ions.

Caracol Bella triggers an orchestrated and well-rounded support of your skin, while at the same time protecting you even in the harshest environments.

But there’s another beautifier at play here…

Lock in Moisture to Keep Your Skin Firm and Tight

Caracol Bella provides your skin with one of the most important nutrients for beautiful skin: hyaluronic acid (HA).

HA is a hallmark of youth. Like water, HA hydrates your skin and gives your skin cells shape and structure. When you’re young and levels of HA are high, your face looks and feels smooth and tight. Your face has a clean, youthful shape.

But as you age, and levels of HA drop, your skin cells lose their structure. And when they start to collapse, your face starts to sag and droop.

HA has the amazing ability to hold vast amounts of water, absorbing around 1,000 times its weight in water. It enhances volume and elasticity to restore a youthful balance to your face.

And that’s exactly what your skin needs.

Without enough moisture, your skin becomes loose, dry and wrinkled, adding years to your age. But when your skin has enough HA, all that water plumps up your skin for a fuller, younger appearance.

When you use it topically, significant results can occur. That’s because your skin can absorb HA at a cellular level. Unlike some other moisturizers that simply sit on the top of your skin, HA sinks into the deeper levels of your skin tissue.

It also acts as a “carrier,” delivering all of the anti-aging ingredients in Caracol Bella deeply into your cells to create youthful skin that no store-bought product can match.3

HA on its own would be enough to make Caracol Bella an amazing find.

But the beautifying qualities of the serum, combined with its powerful antioxidants and HA, make Caracol Bella worthy of its near legendary status in South America.

And unless you travel to South America, there’s no way to get anything like it.

So let me make this easy for you.

Discovering the secret of aging changes everything. Life as we know it will never be the same.

New DNA technology can reduce your skin’s age by up to 30%.

The first major breakthrough to come out of this remarkable research is an age-defying formula that visibly slows the aging of your skin, and visibly reduces the appearance of lines, wrinkles and age spots.

It works by slowing down the aging of your cells, going right into your cell’s DNA, the “blueprint” for how you age. Now imagine your body using this “blueprint” to tell the cells in your face to become younger.

You get a younger-looking face, no matter how old you are.

Just look at the results from a recent clinical trial:¹

• 100% increased the level of moisture in their skin.
• 100% saw the appearance of sun spots improve significantly.
• Over 90% saw a decrease in the appearance of redness and pore size.
• 75% experienced an improvement in skin tone and elasticity.
• 75% felt roughness and the appearance of fine lines faded noticeably.

This “DNA technology” is brand new. You won’t find it in a department store or in your dermatologist’s office. But it’s already making both men and women look and feel years younger.

It can do the same for you.

Let me explain…

You Can Delay the Sagging, Drying

Effects of Aging for Years…

When the cells in your face get younger, you keep a youthful glow longer. And the ugly signs of aging – like wrinkles, age spots and blemishes – do not appear as severe and appear less often.

Imagine the appearance of lines in your face noticeably fading away … age spots are reduced and your skin feels smooth and tight.

While your friends keep aging and looking older, you’ll look like time is standing still. People will tell you how good you look without ever knowing you’re using a technology that won the Nobel Prize in Medicine!

But that won’t bother you, will it?

It shouldn’t.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to look young and attractive. And the formula I designed from this prize-winning breakthrough makes it easy.

“DNA Technology” Provides a More Youthful Appearance

The discovery that won the Nobel Prize has given us a whole new theory on how we get older. Called telomeres, these “countdown clocks” are located at the end of each strand of DNA in every one of your cells. It’s the most credible explanation for aging ever discovered.

In high school they probably taught you that when a cell divides, the new cell is an exact replica of the old one. But with the discovery of the telomere, we know this isn’t true.

Every time your cells divide, the telomere gets shorter. And when your countdown clock hits zero, your telomeres disappear. At that point, cell division stops and life comes to an end.

During your life, your telomeres get shorter every time your cells divide. And here’s the bad part: As your telomeres get shorter, your cells grow weaker and older.

In other words, the shorter your telomere, the older your cells become. This is the aging process in action.

Revive penetrates into the deepest layer of your skin, restores moisture, and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines.

The secret to helping your skin look young and vibrant is slowing the shortening of the telomere. And that’s how this new skin breakthrough works.

By keeping longer telomeres, your DNA “blueprint” tells your body to make younger-looking cells.

In clinical trials, that’s exactly what happened. Longer telomeres translated to moist, firm skin with fewer lines and blemishes.

Remember, in the test results:²

• 100% increased the level of moisture in their skin.
• 100% saw the reduction in appearance of sun spots.
• Over 90% saw a decrease in the appearance of redness and pore size.
• 75% experienced an improvement in skin tone and elasticity.
• 75% felt roughness and the appearance of fine lines faded noticeably.

Those are good numbers.

And for you it means youthful, attractive skin for all the world to see.

My Revive DNA Rejuvenation Cream contains a remarkable extract called teprenone that delays the shortening of your telomeres and protects your skin’s DNA, giving you younger-looking skin people notice.³

As you’ve seen, it’s the telomere that controls aging. Control the telomere and you control how fast your skin ages. And here at my clinic, I improved the results of teprenone by adding nutrients that help you retain moisture, another key to young-looking skin.

Keep Your Skin Hydrated for a Young, Fresh Look

Your body makes a nutrient that keeps your skin moist. It’s called Hyaluronic acid (HA).

In your face, HA gives you the smooth, taut, fullness we associate with youth. When you’re young, you naturally have a lot of HA. But as you age, your body doesn’t make as much and your skin suffers.

You may have heard of HA before. You’ll find it in popular fillers that dermatologists inject into the skin to puff up your lips, neutralize your frown lines and smooth out your skin.

HA has the amazing ability to hold vast amounts of water, absorbing around 1,000 times its weight in water.

Without enough moisture, your skin becomes saggy, dry and wrinkled, adding years to your appearance. But when your skin has enough HA, all that water plumps up your skin.

HA enhances volume and elasticity to restore a youthful balance to your face, so you can start looking the way you did years ago.

You can get the benefits of HA topically and get the results you are looking for.

You see, your skin can absorb HA at a cellular level. Unlike some other moisturizers that simply sit on the top of your skin, the HA in Revive sinks into the deeper levels of your skin where it’s needed most.

It also acts as a “carrier,” delivering all of the anti-aging ingredients in Revive deeply into your cells.⁴

As you’ve seen, Revive slows the shortening of your telomeres AND replenishes your supply of HA, giving you an unprecedented opportunity to show a younger, better-looking face to the world.

But there’s more to Revive. It also helps you reduce the appearance of dark age spots that make you look so much older.

Use this Same “DNA Technology” to Help

With the Appearance of Age Spots and Blotchy Skin

Those dark spots on your skin, known as sunspots or “age spots,” are a darkening that occurs in response to the sun’s UV rays.

How is Revive so effective? I added an extra layer of skin support. It’s called squalane.

Squalane occurs naturally in your skin. You had plenty of it during your childhood and into your teen years. The problem is, once you enter your 20s, the amount of squalane in your skin decreases rapidly.

More to the point, that loss of squalane makes your skin vulnerable to the environmental stressors we face everyday.

Squalane has a powerful hydrating action and penetrates into the deepest layer of your skin for the most protection. At the same time, it produces a barrier against water loss, restoring moisture and suppleness to your face, and helps to reduce the fine lines and wrinkles.

The addition of this pure, essential oil encourages cell regeneration and leaves your face soft and glowing.

Would You Wash Your Face with Gasoline?

It’s ironic, but many of the non-prescription, over-the-counter products that claim to be “anti-aging” skincare products can damage your DNA and prevent it from repairing itself.

Is this really something you want to put on your face?

But it doesn’t end with just one or two problem ingredients. There are hundreds of chemicals used in skincare products…

Another danger is propylene glycol. It’s an active ingredient in at least 12,080 products that touch your skin. You’ll find it in cosmetics as an additive to help you retain moisture and build a moisture barrier.

Except that propylene glycol is often an ingredient in antifreeze, tire sealant, rubber cleaner, paint, degreasers and adhesives.

But I have good news…

In Revive, you won’t find any parabens, carcinogens, pollutants or gasoline distillates of any kind. Every ingredient is natural, healthful, and hand-selected by me to provide a healthy, vibrant look to your skin with no cause for concern.

Your Secret Weapon for Youthful Skin

With Revive you’ll have a secret weapon that turns back the aging of your skin cells. Unlike other cosmetics that never make it past the top layer of your skin, Revive is absorbed at the cellular level to repair your DNA and maintain the length of your telomeres.

So it may surprise you to learn that you can purchase a 1 oz. jar of Revive for under $100. And you’ll get a lot more for your money.

In fact, it can do more for the health and vitality of your skin than most of the $200, $400, and $600 designer products on the market today.

My rejuvenation cream isn’t “designer.” It’s a natural product that’s guaranteed to improve your skin’s tone, texture, and firmness. Each jar contains 1 oz. of this elegant cream and, with normal use, a jar will last about a month.

I’ll cover the shipping, handling, and packing fees myself, so you don’t have to worry about any hidden fees that so many other companies charge.

And if you want to order more, you can take advantage of my multi-jar discounts.

With the purchase of two jars, you’ll receive a 10% discount — a $10 savings on each jar. Better yet, get a 20% discount on three jars. If you order today, I’ll also send you a report that reveals the secret to telomeres and life-extension — a $14.95 value absolutely free…

Reset Your Biological Clock
and Grow YOUNGER As You Age

It’s one of the greatest discoveries of our time, and probably the most advanced anti-aging breakthrough in this century. It’s so groundbreaking that it received the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine.

In fact, this exciting research is so new and exclusive that you’ll never hear about it from your regular doctor.

I’ve been involved in this cutting-edge technology since its beginning. And that’s great news for you. Here’s why…

In recent years, researchers have discovered the primary cause of human aging – and how to halt it in its tracks!

In other words, you really CAN grow younger as you age!

Imagine waking up each morning and feeling like you’re 25 years old again.

Back then, you probably jumped out of bed ready to greet each day. You were brimming with energy, youth and vitality that burned strong from the moment you kicked off the sheets – and it lasted all day long.

I don’t know about you, but I plan on living my entire life with the same youth, stamina and vigor I had during my younger years. When I’m in my 80s – even my 90s – you won’t find me hobbling around the house on a walker. I want to be outside, playing ball with my great-grandchildren for as long as possible.

And as an anti-aging doctor, I know about plenty of safe, proven and cutting-edge solutions to help me do exactly that. These exciting advances in anti-aging can halt the aging process and even reverse it. So you can knock years off your age and live healthier and longer than ever before!

Now you can:

• Supercharge your energy and stamina
• Renew your youth and vitality
• Feel younger, look younger and LIVE younger … no matter what your current age

The secret lies hidden in your DNA.

You Don’t Have to Grow Old
If You Don’t Want To

Have you ever noticed that some people look old and weak well before their time … while others seem to stay young and healthy well into old age?

It all has to do with something called “telomeres.”

Telomeres act as the time-keepers for your DNA. As the cells in your body divide, your telomeres get shorter. The shorter your telomeres, the more you age. So the more often your cells divide, the older they behave and the more susceptible you are to age-related disease.

New advances in technology can help you reprogram the aging process and keep your DNA younger.

One study of 60- to 75-year-olds showed people with short telomeres had a 300 percent higher death rate from heart disease. They also had an 800 percent higher death rate from infectious diseases.¹

Worse, when your telomeres get short enough, cell division stops. And that’s bad news. Because when new cells no longer replace damaged ones, you die.

From the moment you’re born, your telomeres start the countdown towards old age and all of the problems that come with it. Until recently you had no say on how quickly that happened.

But today, new advances in telomere biology make it possible for you to reprogram the aging process and keep your DNA younger. You can essentially rejuvenate every single cell in your body and slow the aging process!

In all of my years as a physician, I’ve never seen anything like this. It has the potential to change the face of aging forever. Decades from now the history books will point to this discovery as a turning point in human history.

With this new understanding of the genetic process, you don’t have to take old age lying down. You can live well into your later years with robust health, supple skin, long-lasting energy and a powerful immune system to fight disease.

I’ve spent the past several months writing a new book that includes everything you need to take control of your destiny … and your DNA.

In my book, Reset Your Biological Clock, I’ll show you how we’ve learned to tinker with the aging process so you can …

• Turn back your genetic clock and slow age-associated changes to your cells. A new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition identified three specific antioxidants that help quench oxidative damage and keep your DNA younger – so you can age more slowly.²
• Reverse the aging process. I’ll show you the foods, nutrients and exercises that empower your body to its fullest anti-aging capacity and naturally slow the shortening of your telomeres.

You don’t have to get old, sick and tired before your time. With the information in Reset Your Biological Clock, you can reprogram your DNA – telling your body to slow aging, live longer and prevent diseases.

But reprogramming your DNA and maintaining your telomeres is only part of the story. There are many additional things you can do every day to reset your biological clock to keep you revitalized well into your “golden years.”

Flood Your Body with Unlimited Energy

Whatever your age is, you don’t have to lose your strength and stamina as you grow older. Youth isn’t about chronological age. Youth is vibrant health and natural energy.

In addition to maintaining your DNA, you can flood your body with energy from the inside out. With key nutrients that reverse aging, you’ll be able to revive the vitality and joie de vivre of your younger years. And with today’s cutting-edge breakthroughs, many of these nutrients are even more effective than ever.

For example, when men and women between the ages of 69 and 87 took a new form of CoQ10 for nine months, their vitality scores soared dramatically.

Before starting, these nursing-home residents filled out a “SF-36 questionnaire.” This is the best-known questionnaire for measuring your health status. It’s been used in over 2,000 published research studies.

When these folks filled out the questionnaire a second time, their vitality scores went up by over 100 percent! These stunning results would not have been possible with the old form of CoQ10!

This new form of CoQ10 gives you more power, energy and endurance. It improves your mood and makes you feel more positive – more optimistic about life.

I tell you all about it in Reset Your Biological Clock. You’ll also learn about many other nutrients that will energize your body, your brain and your life…

• Stimulate your memory and make your brain sharper than a tack with this ancient herb. When you read something, you’ll “get it.” When someone is explaining something, you’ll understand what they’re getting at before they even get to the point. You’ll become extremely alert, with a clarity you thought was gone years ago.
• Banish chronic disease. Learn which nutrients provide the best protection from cancer, heart disease, arthritis, inflammation and more. Supercharge your immune system … sharpen your vision … reinvigorate your heart … boost your daytime energy and sleep like a baby at night.
• Put the brakes on cancer. Scientists have discovered this natural antioxidant puts the brakes on cancer cells at every stage in their development. It stops the cells from dividing, growing and spreading. Another study found it works with UVB rays to kill off skin cancer.⁴
• Overcome fatigue and look years younger. A shortage of this hormone will wear you down, make you tired and add years to your age. By the time you’re 65 years old, this crucial hormone will be reduced to about 10 percent of its peak. But when you learn how to replenish it, you’ll shake off stress, enhance your energy and halt wrinkles and other signs of aging. The authors of one study admit that “those with higher levels of it seem younger.”⁵

Once you put these tips into play, you’ll feel younger, think younger and even act younger. And when your body is brimming with new-found youth and energy, you’ll also want younger looking skin, too…

Recreate the Body of Your Youth

The secrets in Reset Your Biological Clock help you feel younger, look younger and grow younger as you age. But it wouldn’t be complete without my strategies to help you build a stronger, healthier and more youthful body.

Research now shows that the right kind of exercise can turn back the hands of time. And the more vigorous the exercise is, the more effect it will have.

Get all the facts about the first and only anti-aging exercise program.

Recently a study of 2,401 twins found that moderate levels of activity had more effect on your shortening your telomeres than either zero exercise or over-exercising.⁷

The professor that led the study said, “The act of exercising may actually protect the body against the aging process … and people may actually look and feel younger.”⁸

When you rediscover the advantages of having lean, muscular body mass, strong lungs and a bulletproof heart, you’ll truly feel younger than your age.

Imagine being able to golf several times a week, take up tennis once again and feeling spry enough to learn ballroom dancing. How about doing all the big chores around the house in a single day, like mowing the lawn, cleaning the garage… raking the leaves.

That’s why I’ve included an entire section on how you can get into the best shape of your life. You’ll discover things like…

• Why aerobics will make you sick, tired and old before your time. Aerobic exercise can wreck your body, cause you to gain weight and reduce your heart and lung capacity. Find out what you can do instead. Page 66
• The best way to bulletproof your lungs. Your lungs are the number-one predictor of death. The smaller your lungs, the greater your chance of dying – of all causes. Find out what you can do to improve your lung health in just 12 minutes a day. Page 64
• How you can quickly get into the best shape of your life. Melt fat, build muscle and give your heart the power of a 20-year-old. REAWAKEN the energy and vitality you had years ago – even if you’re past retirement. Page 67
• The secret to revving up your metabolism. Discover the secret that can have your body working like a fat-burning furnace all day long, without sacrifice! Just do this… Page 78

Getting just the right amount – and the right kind – of exercise can help you drop weight, improve your health and kick your energy into overdrive. And when you add the foods that your body craves, you’ll find yourself with the hot, young body of your youth.

The "experts" fault everything from sun damage and poor hydration to a bad diet and faulty genes. Even smiling too much is said to cause wrinkles.

But there’s one cause you probably never suspected: your own skin cream.

Even worse than that, your skin cream could actually accelerate early wrinkling.

It’s because a lot of creams that are supposed to keep you looking good have the wrong blend of ingredients. This faulty combination of elements on the skin actually speeds up the aging process.

But thank goodness, there’s a way to protect yourself. It starts with knowing the difference between the creams that stop the effects of aging and the ones that trigger wrinkles.

“He Thought I Was in My 20s!”

Jackie Silver is "Aging Backwards."

I’ve dedicated my adult life to uncovering common-sense tips and secret weapons to help women defy the effects of aging.

My goal isn’t just to help you look better, but also to improve your whole self — mind, body and spirit.

Preventing wrinkles and taking good care of your skin is one of the best places to start.

I should know. I’m in my 50s, yet I get mistaken for a younger woman all the time.

It happens when I’m out with my son, Trent. People think I’m his sister! Sometimes, I’ll even get asked out by men in their 20s.

Every time, it puts a smile on my face. Not because I was born with ageless skin, but because it proves I’ve unlocked the secrets to protecting myself from premature aging … secrets I’m about to share with you.

The 3 Guaranteed Wrinkle “Triggers”

We all know wrinkles are one of the surest signs of aging. But what actually triggers them?

Simple: Lack of moisture, loss of elasticity and general thinning of the skin.

Older skin can’t hold moisture very well because it’s slow to reproduce cells. This is the beginning of the wrinkling problem. After all, without constant cell rejuvenation, your oil glands and fat cells waste away. Your skin gradually dries up and loosens.

Throw a little gravity into the mix and your loose skin starts to droop and fold over. Just like that, you have wrinkles.

Young skin, on the other hand, is thick and full of elasticity. This means it springs back to its original shape when you’re not using your facial muscles.

But older, thinner, drier skin is less resilient. So when you frown or smile, your skin gets pulled along with your muscle. Once pulled, it has a tough time going back.

Remember when you were young and grown-ups told you not to make faces because your face might “freeze” like that? Well, it’s kind of true once you grow up.

If you constantly make the same facial expressions, your skin is more likely to fold in the direction of those muscle movements.

So, what do you do about it? My gut reaction was to try to reverse the problem. And I think a lot of women feel that way. That’s why so many buy into outrageous claims and promises by some manufacturers.

For starters, you have to be careful. The majority of skin creams aren’t inspected in medical labs. Few medical doctors are even involved with the research. Worse still, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration doesn’t require companies to prove that their cosmetic products are effective.

Why Most Skin Creams Give You Only a Short-Term Fix

The truth is, most skin creams offer only a short-term moisturizer — including the expensive ones. That’s because the majority just consist of a water and refined-vegetable oil combination. Your face feels smoother right after using them because the water expands your skin tissues. It basically inflates those tissues like a balloon with water.

But, that fix is only temporary. In a matter of hours, the water evaporates and is carried away by your bloodstream. Your skin cells shrink. Your face feels dry and shows wrinkles.

Worse, the oil component doesn’t offer any natural protective qualities. In fact, if your beauty product contains oxidized vegetable oils, they can spark the development of free radicals. Free radicals on your skin break down elasticity and strength because they attack your connective fibers.

This actually speeds up the process that makes your skin saggy and wrinkly. It may also prompt a dry, leathery look.

You Need Something That Goes Further Than Skin-Deep

My secret is pretty simple. This means you need to take care of your skin from the inside out — particularly when it comes to your face.

Free of harmful chemicals that speed up the aging process.

That’s why I’ve created a distinctive skin cream that penetrates the deepest layers of your skin and strengthens your underlying tissues. The result is younger, healthier, baby-soft skin that makes it impossible for you to feel old. Instead, you’ll feel younger and look radiant.

Replenish, my Age-Defying Coconut and Honey Complex.

Replenish can quite possibly reverse the aging process. Along with protecting your face from the damage of free radicals and sunlight, it gives your skin exactly what it needs to regenerate.

Plus, it’s completely free of ingredients that speed up the aging process. I took extra measures to make sure Replenish is free of parabens, synthetic fragrances, FDC colors, and other harmful chemicals that could speed up the aging process like other creams do.

Increase Skin Hydration by 90%
with an Invisible Cushion of Moisture

The real secret to keeping skin wrinkle-free is to moisturize and sanitize — effectively. I say that because it’s more than just a matter of washing your face and rubbing on some lotion.

What you need — or rather, what your skin needs — is a way to keep bacteria at bay while moisturizing deep into the lowest layers of the skin.

That’s why Replenish is so groundbreaking. Among other things, it consists of my proprietary blend of honey and coconut peptides. Let me tell you why this is so significant:

• Honey is the ultimate moisturizer. It absorbs into the skin to create an invisible cushion of moisture and prevents drying. Honey also sanitizes, reduces inflammation, and helps protect skin from sun damage. It’s loaded with natural anti-bacterial properties that absorb impurities from skin pores.
• Coconut peptides provide desperately needed nourishment deep within your skin. The coconut fruit is a natural toner and cleanser, known for its moisturizing properties. It also decreases excessive oil found in the face and improves absorption of nutrients like vitamins, minerals and amino acids. On top of that, coconut supports tissue healing and repairs and protects the skin from harmful free radicals that promote premature aging.

The combination of these two ingredients alone supports the natural chemical balance of the skin. In turn, this prevents early sagging. They also provide a completely non-toxic way to protect your face from the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation.

But I didn’t stop there. In my quest to develop the ultimate age-defying skin cream, I wanted to make sure Replenish offered every possible level of skin protection and hydration.

So, I enhanced the cream with the following:

• Coconut water — Improves blood circulation and is also anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-microbial.
• Hyaluronic acid — A proven moisturizer that reduces the appearance of existing wrinkles thanks to natural tissue restoration properties.
• Hydrolyzed rice protein — This proven skin conditioning agent protects against the degradation of collagen and results in visible improvement to skin surface conditions.
• Royal jelly — This secretion from honey bees is scientifically documented to stimulate and rejuvenate damaged skin at the cellular level; it’s also considered one of the most effective anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agents in nature.
• Saccharomyces lysate — Healthy skin must be able to breathe, and this bio-active ingredient naturally derived from yeast stimulates essential cell respiration making it easier for your cells to breathe. It also helps activate the regeneration of skin tissue.

This remarkable blend of ingredients, combined with still other beneficial compounds, makes for a light, non-greasy cream. Because of that, Replenish is easily and readily absorbed into the skin of your face and neck.

One Other Thing You Should Know —
It’s Called “Senescence” and You DON’T Want It

Have you ever heard the term "senescence"? It’s a synonym for aging. It describes the state of our cells once they’ve exceeded their cell division limit (meaning your skin no longer produces new, healthy cells).

This has a lot to do with the shortening of your telomeres. These are regions of non-coding DNA found at the end of chromosomes. Senescence — aka, aging — occurs when your telomeres get to a critical length.

Don’t speed-up the aging process. Start "Aging Backwards!"

In terms of skin, cellular senescence refers to erosion and the loss of fibroblasts (skin cells that provide strength and resilience). Unfortunately, senescent fibroblasts tend to win out over young fibroblasts, resulting in a gradual loss of the characteristics of young skin.

Which reminds me, there’s one more important component to Replenish I should mention. It’s called Baicalin, and it’s a proven, risk-free cellular regenerator.

Essentially, baicalin fixes the problem of telomeres shortening by creating the missing end piece. It’s also been proven to increase skin firmness and elasticity, improve skin restructuring, and increase the number of fibroblast duplications.

Baicalin comes from the roots of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi. Not only can it delay cellular senescence, it also helps your skin recover the youthful characteristics you had 10 years ago.

Be One of the First to
Try This Rejuvenating Breakthrough

Every day, I meet women who aren’t content with themselves. A large part of that links back to the way they feel about their looks.

Of course, looks aren’t everything — I’ll be the first to tell you that. But the way you look on the outside often shapes the way you feel on the inside.

If you look vibrant, youthful and healthy, you’re more likely to feel that way. You’re more likely to look people in the eye, to take risks.

In contrast, looking old and worn out is a sure way to feel old and worn out — even if you’re not that old!

Regardless of your real age, Replenish gives you a simpler way to keep your skin healthy and looking young. I’ve come to think of it as my personal little “secret” for enhancing my own youthful looks.

It conditions and balances the skin, and strengthens and tightens your cells without punishing your face and drying you out. There’s nothing rough about it. No harmful burning of your skin cells.

It’s simply a natural, proven way to enhance the way you look and have a positive impact on how you feel.

I know because I’ve seen this approach work in others, as well as myself.

If you’re ready to restore your beauty the natural way, I urge you to click right now on the link below. You’ll be among the first to enjoy this blend of proven ingredients. And as a thank you, I’ll send you a free copy of my special report, 10 Age-Defying Secrets to Flawless Skin, a $9.97 value.

Slow Down the Aging Process — Forever!

The bottom line is this: Unlike most skin creams, Replenish helps you shape up and recharge your skin — without contributing to further decline.

It’s a simple and gentle beauty regimen that leaves you looking and feeling better than ever.

Plus, it fits your busy lifestyle. Unlike other regimens, Replenish doesn’t require multiple scrubs and steps.

In fact, I think that’s where a lot of us get stuck. You know you deserve to have youthful skin and you know it will make you feel better about yourself. But when it comes to beauty regimens, so many of them become time-sappers. And in the end, they don’t even work.

That’s the beauty of Replenish. It’s simple, uncomplicated and straightforward. In a way, it’s like drinking water. Think about it. Water is one of the most basic things you can consume, yet it’s vital (not to mention effective!) for good health.

Replenish takes the same approach. It’s a natural, basic cream that can halt the aging process over time thanks to its pure properties.

Mainstream medicine still has its head in the sand on this. In fact, I read a study from the Journal of the American Dietetic Association claiming – again – that you aren’t getting enough calcium, and that calcium is what prevents osteoporosis.

Don’t get me wrong, calcium is critical for making bone. But you’re getting enough calcium. It’s in almost everything you can think of – like bread, milk, orange juice, pasta, yogurt, toothpaste, chewing gum, snack crackers and granola bars… it’s even in your water, depending on where you live. That’s a lot of calcium.

Higher calcium intake doesn’t prevent fractures due to bone loss,¹ and can damage your heart. Here a just a few studies that back up what I’ve known for years.

A brand-new study looked at over 195,000 women and found that drinking milk fortified with calcium had zero effect on the risk for hip fractures.²

Another recent study in the journal Osteoporosis International found that taking calcium supplements meant a 27-31% increase in risk of heart attack and up to a 20% increased risk of stroke. The authors even suggest you use “other osteoporosis treatments that are available without calcium.”³

A third study looked at 61,443 women, who were followed for almost 20 years. It found that increasing your daily calcium has no effect on fractures later in life. The women who took in the most calcium did not reduce the risk of fractures of any type, or of osteoporosis.⁴

If things keep going the way they’re going today, you have a one-in-four chance of an osteoporosis-related bone break after you turn 50.

It’s worse if you’re a woman. You have a one-in-two chance of fracture. You’re at greater risk because women lose bone mass a little faster than men until they’re 65. After that, everyone loses bone at about the same rate.

Osteoclasts remove old bone tissue. Osteoblasts rebuild them.

And a broken bone has a huge effect on your life. You could be in constant pain, lose mobility, have a long-term disability, or completely lose your independence.

Instead of taking in more calcium, let me show you how you can build bones that will last a lifetime.

But first I want to tell you a little bit about how your body makes bone…

Your bones have cells called osteoclasts. Their job is to remove old bone tissue. This makes room for your bones to grow strong because other cells called osteoblasts then rebuild them.

With osteoporosis and other bone diseases, there is an imbalance … either your osteoblasts aren’t making new cells fast enough, or osteoclasts are removing too much bone tissue.

Some very common medications can also make your bones weaker and more likely to break. For example:

• The newest drugs meant to improve bone density actually cause bone breaks. Bisphosphonates like Fosomax, Boniva, Reclast and Actonel are supposed to help stop you from getting bone fractures as you get older.

  Researchers studied women taking these medications who experienced some sort of fracture. Over 65 percent had the same rare fracture in the same area of their thigh bones. And these were the women who had been on the drugs for the longest time.⁵

• If you use cortisone for your asthma or arthritis for longer than only three months, it increases risk of fracture regardless of bone density.⁶
• Acid reflux medications like Nexium and Prevacid increase risk of hip fracture. A review so new it hasn’t even been published yet looked at over 230,000 fracture cases. These medications, called proton pump inhibitors, upped the odds of suffering a hip fracture by 25%. The odds of getting a spinal fracture increased by 50%!⁷
• Antidepressants like Paxil and Prozac (called SSRIs) contribute to bone loss and a higher risk for fractures. That’s because antidepressants increase serotonin levels, and too much serotonin restrains osteoblasts from making new bone.

  The journal Bone published a study on almost 80,000 people and found SSRI users had almost twice the risk of osteoporosis-related fractures as those who didn’t use those medications. Even people who used non-SSRI antidepressants had around a 40% higher risk for a break.⁸

• Long-term therapy with antiepileptic drugs (phenobarbital) can cause the metabolic bone disease osteomalacia. This causes “soft bones” and increases fractures. In one study, antiepileptic drugs reduced both neck and hip bone density, and caused significant bone loss.⁹
• Another study from Bone done earlier this year found that the odds of getting a fracture were 56% higher for people who use acetaminophen (Tylenol, Excedrin) compared with people who don’t. Adjusting for age, bone mineral density, weight, smoking, calcium and other factors didn’t change the results.¹⁰

It’s another example of how modern medicine doesn’t learn from its mistakes. They refuse to take a whole-body approach to healing. Instead they opt to treat individual symptoms with drugs designed only for those symptoms, regardless of how they affect the rest of your body.

This is why in my practice, I seldom use these drugs. I’ve helped thousands of patients – both men and women – increase their bone mass and strength naturally. Here’s what I tell them:

1) Use This Hormonal Secret to Build Bones of Steel: Hormones control the amount of calcium that sticks to your bones. You can take all the calcium you want, but if your estrogen and testosterone levels fall, calcium will drop away from your bones.

In women, estrogens are the main regulators of bone breakdown. And the hormone progesterone controls the rate of new bone deposits. The higher the progesterone level the more bone formation. But the most powerful bone builder in both men and women is testosterone. Testosterone is central for achieving maximal bone mass and strength.

Maintaining healthy levels of hormones in your body will keep your bones strong.

There is an easy and inexpensive hormone precursor that has been shown to improve the levels of other sex hormones. It’s called DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone). It is involved in the manufacturing of most major sex hormones in the body, like estrogen and testosterone. DHEA treatments are becoming more common.

You can purchase it over the counter, but I don’t advise that anyone take DHEA without having their blood levels checked. You will have to ask your doctor to measure it. You just can’t count on maintaining good bone health without good hormonal health.

In addition to healthy hormone levels, here are some other ways to help you keep your bone strength, and your independence:

2) Drive Down Cortisol to Form More Bone: There is a membrane that lines the outer surface of your bones called the periosteum. Its cells turn into osteoblast cells that make new bone. The “stress” hormone cortisol reduces bone density by stopping those cells from becoming osteoblasts. That’s why the higher your cortisol levels, the lower your bone density and the faster you lose bone. Cortisol also reduces calcium absorption.

Both mental and physical stress increase cortisol, and those stressors are constant in the modern world. Also, most hormones decline with age, but cortisol increases.

To lower cortisol naturally so you can keep your bones strong, the easiest thing to do is counter cortisol with physical exertion.

My PACE program is designed specifically to return your body and metabolism to their natural states. With PACE, you incrementally challenge your body and restore your native metabolism and hormone levels.

The other benefit you get from PACE is that weight-bearing exercise is one of the most effective ways to increase your bone strength and help prevent fractures. These include walking, bicycling, sprints, swimming or weight training. Focus on increasing intensity, not duration, in all of these exercises.

If you want specific workouts, resources and information about creating your own PACE variations, just click here.

3) Soak Up the Sun And Build Better Bone: Vitamin D is a vitamin and a hormone. It directs how much calcium you store in your bones so you can use it when you need it. Too little vitamin D can lead to thin, brittle bones and osteoporosis.

By preventing bone loss, vitamin D:

• Reduces risk of breaking a bone in any part of the body by 33%
• Reduces risk of a breaking a hip by 69%
• Reduces risk of having constant bone pain – a condition called osteomalacia

Your best source of vitamin D is sunshine. You don’t need more than 20 minutes out in the sun to get all your vitamin D for the day. But since we spend most of our time inside in the modern world, you might have to get your vitamin D from other sources. Food sources of vitamin D include salmon, mackerel, tuna fish, sardines, eggs, beef and cheese.

Of course, you can also get vitamin D from supplements. Cod liver oil is by far the best source. Take up to one tablespoon a day.

4) Make “Superior” Bones With Vitamin K: I’ve helped hundreds of patients regulate their calcium and stabilize their bones using vitamin K. A study completed in April found that high vitamin K intake means higher bone mineral density, and less bone loss with aging.¹¹ The authors wrote that vitamin K gave people “superior bone properties.”

Foods with vitamin K include dark leafy vegetables like kale, spinach and collard greens. Parsley and green olives also have vitamin K, as do the spices basil and thyme. I recommend at least 90 mcg a day.

5) Protect Your Bones With Selenium: Just 55 micrograms a day can help reduce your risk of osteoporosis by up to 15 percent.

A study gave two groups of animals a drug that causes osteoporosis. They treated one group with selenium. When researchers looked at the leg bones, those from the selenium group were protected, and looked almost like normal bone.¹²

The best source of selenium is Brazil nuts, which contain a whopping 544 micrograms in just one ounce. You can also get selenium from red meat, tuna, eggs and walnuts.

6) Harden Your Bones With Boron: It’s crucial to bone strength, with increasing benefits as people age. Boron keeps bones from losing calcium and magnesium. The best way to get it from food is by eating nuts, plums, prunes, red grapes, raisins, apples, pears, and avocados. One thing I sometimes tell patients is to make all-natural trail mix from their snack food of choice. All those raisins and nuts are a great source of boron. Get between 3-6 mg per day.

7) Ramp Up Energy to Make New Bone: It takes a lot of energy for your body to produce bone. Osteoblasts use a hormone called osteocalcin to tell your body to make that energy so the osteoblasts can do their job.

There’s only one problem… leptin. This hormone, that increases when you gain weight, interferes with osteocalcin and inhibits new bone formation.

Fortunately, there’s a solution for leptin. The herb irvingia gabonensis, from the forests of West Africa, helps leptin work normally.

One study measured the effect of irvingia on fat cells. They injected the cells with irvingia and found that the herb significantly reduced leptin production, and leptin levels. Those given the most irvingia cut their leptin levels by over 60 percent in just 12 to 24 hours.¹³

Another irvingia study found that people taking the seed extract were able to drop their leptin levels by 49%.¹⁴

I recommend 150 mg of irvingia seed extract twice a day before meals.
