Lauren Kessler
A bootcamp in Utah in 118-degree heat. A raw food diet. Hypnotic suggestions. A team of crack computer scientists who can ageâ€”and de-ageâ€”a face with the click of a mouse. The World Convention on Anti-Aging Medicine in Las Vegas (headlined by Suzanne Somers). These are just a few of the stops Lauren Kessler makes on her journey to reverse time from the inside out.,At this moment, one in three Americans are entering midlife and many are wondering, â€˜How did I get to be this old?â€™ Plenty will turn to miracle creams, injections, fillers, and surgery to reverse the hands oftime, but Kessler investigates the largely unexplored side of antiaging: what it takes to ,be ,younger, not just ,look ,younger. Guided by both intense curiousity and healthy skepticism, a sense of adventure, and a sense of humor, she investigates Americaâ€™s youth obsession and decides, on a very personal level, what to do about it. She is at once the careful reporter, the immersion journalist, the self-designated lab rat, and a midlife woman who is not interested in being as old as her driverâ€™s license insists she is.,Kesslerâ€™s mission isnâ€™t about vanity (well, maybe a little) but about discovering ways to maintain stamina, vitality, fortitude, and creativity right to the very end.
