It's the extraordinary substance that doctors have been keeping secret--and using themselves--for twenty years. Now DHEA, a hormone affecting health, mood, and sexual vigor, is about to burst on the scene with an impact that will dwarf the melatonin craze. THE DHEA BREAKTHROUGH is a leading researcher's guide to the truth and use of this miracle drug.DHEA is the body's most abundant hormone, but production starts to decline at age twenty-five. In addition to dramatically reducing the risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and osteoporosis, it can enhance sexual function, boost memory, and give people of any age the will to manage diet and exercise. THE DHEA BREAKTHROUGH offers a practical plan that incorporates the latest findings in biochemistry, biophysics, exercise, and evolutionary biology.Featuring a six-month turn-back-the-clock program and list of doctors and labs managing successful DHEA therapies, Stephen A. Cherniske's book will be a boon to all baby boomers experiencing the first serious signs of aging and anyone who wants to live a more passionate and vigorous life.
