Bulletproof: The Man's Midlife Guide to Staying Strong, Healthy and Happy is a how-to manual for readers who see more hair in their ears than they do on their chest and don't want to think about their health but know they should.
The book's co-authors, Donald Doudna, Ph.D., and Dr. Robin Warren Barnett, are specialists in medicine, finance and communication. They've treated and counseled hundreds of men who consider themselves bulletproof, immune to the changes in health and relationships that come with growing older.
''Too many men wait for a health crisis to gain a new lease on life,'' Doudna says. ''But you don't need to lose almost everything in order to appreciate what you have.''
As Dr. Barnett says, ''You're the youngest you'll ever be, right now, at this moment. Consider Bulletproof your owner's manual the essential guide to how, why and when to do your own personal tune-up.''
Dr. Robin Warren Barnett holds a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Des Moines University. She is Board Certified in Family Practice and is a Fellow of American Academy of Family Practice. Dr. Barnett has been featured on radio and television, including a Discovery Channel special on diabetes, and she has spoken at dozens of sold-out seminars on health, wellness and fitness. She is the author of
Women: It's Your Turn, a book to help women balance their mind, body and spirit.
