What’s Age Got To Do With It: Living Your Healthiest & Happiest Life By Robin McGraw

New York Times Best Selling Author, Robin McGraw’s newest book, What's Age Got To Do With It by Robin McGraw (wife of Dr. Phil) hit book stores earlier this year packed with her own secrets for living her healthiest and happiest life, and at age 55, she is doing just that. When I first saw this book's tag line, which is almost identical to my blog's, I only wished I would have thought of the book first!

The emphasis that Robin makes to women is the importance of taking care of YOU first. I couldn’t agree with Robin more on this. I believe women know this, but seldom are they practicing it.

Robin's passion for health came as a result of experiencing the loss of her own mother at the young age of fifty-eight to a massive heart attack. She believes her premature death was due to a lack of self-care. Since the tragic death of her mother, Robin vowed to take charge of her own health and to not allow self-neglect. Robin began her mission to make sure that she lives her healthiest and happiest life possible, which she outlines in nine chapters.

What's Age Got To Do With Itis loaded with health, fitness, recipes, beauty, and hormone advice from many top experts in the field. A lot of what she shares is similar to what we've read in other resources, but it's nice to see someone that is walking it. Reading "how to" articles are great, but what's more powerful is learning from someone that is showing evidence of truly living their healthiest and happiest life.

I believe Chapter 5: What’s Hormone Got to Do with It is very informative, especially for older women who were drawn to this book because they saw age 55 on the cover. The subject on Hormone Replacement Therapy has been a controversial one and can be confusing and overwhelming for many. While Robin shares her own journey with menopause and chose bio-identical hormones, she is well aware of the controversy and emphasizes that this is what worked for her. She encourages women going through menopause to work with their doctors, do research, and ask a lot of questions because women know their body.

I love that Robin openly shares her faith in Jesus and includes "Faith" as one of her secrets to her healthiest and happiest life. Like Robin, I also believe it’s never too early, nor late to make changes for better health. This book will greatly benefit anyone at any age; therefore, the title, What's Age Got To Do With Itis very appropriate!
