Do you or someone you love have a Y chromosome? If so, this book is for you. The average life expectancy for men is five years shorter than for women. Why? Because men neglect their health. Dr. Stephen C. Brewer’s The Canyon Ranch Guide to Men’s Fitness: A Doctor’s Prescription for Male Wellness aims to remedy that.

The Canyon Ranch Guide is a sustainable, real-world approach to men’s health. The book is divided into four sections designed to target a specific phase on your journey to well-being.
