FINALLY, SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS

Stephen Buhner brings considerable wit, wisdom, and compassion to his exploration of the midlife passage that men (and women as well) must inevitably travel. The passages that look at the specific teachings that our bodies have for us in the midlife journey are nothing short of magnificiently poetic. He follows this up with a comprehensive look at the different parts of our bodies, how they work, how they can malfunction in midlife and what herbs, suppements, and foods can help correct them. The book cites several thousand clinical trials with the herbs and supplements that are suggested making it one of the better researched books in this field. One of the unique - and powerful - elements of the book is the incredibly detailed look at natural testosterone enhancers - used to counter the deleterious effects of synthetic pollutants that affect male androgen levels, causing everything from low libido to low sperm counts. But the true joy of the book is the wit and wisdom that comes through on nearly every page. Truly, this is a book that every man - and his spouse - needs to read. Highly recommended.
