Stop Aging, Start Living: The Revolutionary 2-Week pH Diet that Erases Wrinkles, Beautifies Skin, and Makes You Feel Fantastic
Stop Aging, Start Living: The Revolutionary 2-Week pH Diet that Erases Wrinkles, Beautifies Skin, and Makes You Feel Fantastic
Though other skin-care experts have identified free radicals and cellular inflammation as key triggers to the breakdown of healthy skin, renowned dermatologist and former National Institutes of Health fellow Jeannette Graf, M.D., has discovered a way to prevent these saboteurs from developing in the first place—rather than just treating the symptoms they’ve caused.
Based on the scientifically groundbreaking premise that our cells—and consequently our skin—can only function best when the pH balance of our body is at its proper level, Dr. Graf’s four-part plan focuses on changing your body’s ratio of acids to alkalines. Most of us tend to eat three acidic-building foods (like sugar, refined carbs, meat, and dairy) for every one alkalinizing food (dark green leafy vegetables, garlic, onions, olive oil, lemon, fruit, nuts and seeds, and whole grains)—the reverse of the ideal ratio. And while changing your diet is important, food is not the only way to shift this ratio or reverse the cell aging that’s affecting your skin. The plan also includes detailed information on:
• daily alkalinizing “cocktails”
• quality calcium-mineral supplements
• probiotic supplements (good bacteria in a bottle)
• how to assess your skin and care for it accordingly—choosing the right cleansers, moisturizers, and treatments that will give you the most noticeable results (hint: many of these products line the shelves of your local drugstore)
• the joy prescription: activities that can add exhilaration and laughter to your life and increase the neuropeptides in the brain that actually rejuvenate skin cells
• nutrients in foods that enhance cell energy production and cell signaling
But don’t just take her word for it: Stop Aging, Start Living is filled with testimonials from her patients. Whether you want to see results fast (with her twenty-four-hour kickstart plan), ease into it (with the two-week prescription), or just incorporate a few Stop Aging, Start Living strategies into your life as they suit you, you’ll come away looking and feeling incredibly younger.
Customer Review: Life-saver
Dr. Graf has been my dermatologist for many years. She is not only a dermatologist, but a doctor who takes your whole life into consideration and uses her scientific knowledge to help you. I was going through some “scary” health issues that none of my doctors could figure out. Dr. Graf took the “puzzle” of my life, put it together and found that the serious problem was in fact not serious, but something that could be fixed with concentrating on body wellness and healthy living. I have never felt better. It is only fitting that she write this book to reach out to others who don’t have the luxury of coming to her practice. She is a true gem and a healer.
Customer Review: Right on target!
This book is an easy read—actually it is more like a conversation. Jeannette walks you through what it takes to rebuild yourself from within. I loved her book!!!
We went to med school together years ago. Jeannette looks great and feels great because she practices what she preaches. Topical preparations have given me limited improvements. I am eager to challenge myself with her advice.

Tired - So Tired!: And the “Yeast Connection” 
Every day, millions of people complain that they are tired. In fact, studies show that fatigue is one of the most common problems for which people seek help from a physician. But tests often fail to provide an explanation of chronic fatigue. Tired–So Tired! explains why so many people experience exhaustion and, more important, presents easy-to-follow steps for boosting energy and regaining health.
After years of research, Dr. William G. Crook discovered that sugar and yeast, along with other foods and chemicals to which people can develop sensitivities, are major dietary culprits, and can cause everything from headaches to chronic fatigue syndrome. He also found a connection between fatigue and certain nutrient deficiencies. With this information in mind, the doctor developed a diet and vitamin plan that can eliminate fatigue and related symptoms. Tired–So Tired! presents the doctor’s treatment program as well as his research on this important subject.

Customer Review: Poorly Written
Whereas what he has to say is important, he doesn’t say it very well. This was a poorly written book of important information. I’ve read several books on the subject and found this to be one of the least helpful. Smart man, poor writer.
Customer Review: Tired Soo Tired
Very insightful and interesting information on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and other syndromes that may be related. Easy to read.
