Summary

Does "male menopause" really exist? Are hair loss and an expanding waistline inevitable? What about health fears--especially cancer and heart disease? And is Viagra really the answer to your dreams? Doctor and media personality Art Hister offers an informative and humorous guide for midlife men who want to make the most of these great years. Along with wittily refuting all the stereotypes about this stage, Hister explains the things you're dying to know--the common physiological and psychological changes that occur as men age, the latest scientific research on alternative therapies, and plans for eating, drinking, and generally living healthily. At the same time, he explodes myths about disease in middle age. And women: this is for you, too--if you want to understand the one you love! The author lives in Vancouver, British Columbia. 224 pages, 6 x 9. NEW IN PAPERBACK
