We’re just back from the 15th Annual International Congress on Anti-Aging Medicine and Regenerative Biomedical Technologies in Las Vegas, presented by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M). This is one of the largest, if not THE largest, anti-aging conferences in the world, attended by about 6,000 people and featuring over 700 exhibits. It’s the [...]
Beauty regimens have come a long way in the past 50 years. Just ask Annette Tucker of Los Angeles who is Aging Backwards at 75 years young! Tucker, a very successful songwriter with such hits as I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night) made famous by the Electric Prunes in the 1960s, still keeps [...]
New research has shown that coconut oil is actually good for you! (Read the research here) I have found that unlike vegetable oil or olive oil, I only need a tiny bit of coconut oil when cooking. And it imparts a delicious, unusual flavor to eggs, veggies or whatever you cook in it. But here’s [...]
One day I was visiting at my friend Terry’s house when she opened the fridge, pulled out a bottle of light cologne and sprayed some on her wrists. Wow, what a lovely, novel pick-me-up. I had to try it. I was accustomed to keeping aloe in the fridge for first-aid emergencies and my son likes [...]
I set small goals for myself at the beginning of each day. Before I started goal-setting, I would feel overwhelmed by projects, tasks and errands “looming” over me. I started making written lists, including even the smallest tasks like, “wash the dishes” or “mail letters.” Writing everything down not only prioritizes and organizes the tasks, [...]
Now, for the first time ever, you can control how quickly your skin ages.
My friend and mentor, Al Sears, MD, is one of the pioneers in a field called “telomere biology.” If you haven’t been following this story in the news, telomeres are part of your DNA. They’re critical to youthful cell function.
But as your cells divide, your telomeres get shorter. The shorter your telomeres, the more your skin cells age… and the older you look…
We spend countless hours – not to mention dollars – trying to improve the appearance of aging skin, but what about our hair?
As we age, our hair loses its color and can appear dull, faded, and coarse. It may become dry and brittle, or even start to fall out.
Factors that can age your hair include sun and harsh weather, hormonal changes, chemical treatments, heat styling, lack of protein, and the natural slow-down of cell regeneration. Even certain medications, such as the ones for blood pressure or cholesterol, can have harmful effects.
Today, I want to tell you about an amazing solution I found from my friend and mentor, Dr. Al Sears…
I recently had to catch a very early morning flight, so I rolled out of bed and went straight to the airport without any makeup on. A woman in the check-in line commented on how flawless my skin looked. No makeup at all, and I still get compliments. I love it!
I have to thank my friend and mentor Dr. Al Sears, MD. I found out that as your skin ages, it gets more difficult for it to absorb vital nutrients. As a result, it can become fragile and prone to wrinkles.
Over the counter anti-aging creams don’t effectively help with the appearance of wrinkles. Their ingredients aren’t potent enough to reach the inner part of your skin where it matters most…
These days, people are looking for more natural ways to solve everyday problems. Today, I want to tell you about a versatile “vegetable” that does double and triple duty in the world of beauty.
I’m talking about the cucumber!
While you might think of a cucumber as a vegetable, it’s actually a fruit. It originated in India, where it has been grown for 3,000 years. And according to the U.S.D.A., Florida produces the most cucumbers in the United States…
You may not see grapefruit mentioned in the typical list of “super fruits,” but it is one of my Aging Backwards champions.
The versatile grapefruit has a whole host of benefits – not just for health, but also for beauty. That’s what I call multi-tasking!
For starters, grapefruit is loaded with Vitamin C, one of the most powerful antioxidants for scavenging and destroying free radicals in the body…
Just about any recipe can be lighter by making a few changes to the ingredients. Here is a recipe for Traditional Lasagna and a revised Aging Backwards Lasagna recipe. Enjoy!

Welcome to Aging Backwards! Here I’ll let you in on all my tips, tricks and secret weapons for stopping the effects of aging and improving the whole self – mind, body and spirit. Aging Backwards was born from my desire to help people look and feel the best they can, which I have personally been working on my entire life.
I’ve become “the one” my friends come to for anti-aging information because I am so driven to stop the clock. “How do you do this?” or “What can I do about that?” are questions I hear over and over again. I tell them what has worked for me and, inevitably, I’ll get a phone call saying, “Wow, that’s amazing, you should go into business!” Not to mention, just about everyone who spends time with me ends up losing weight, working out, eating better and Aging Backwards!
