    Contents

    Lisa, Gary, and Ted made this book possibleand much more fun. While it may be unusual to say that the hours of book research and writing were as much fun as a party, we often felt that they were. Each delivered what they promised, when they promised it. Lisa always made us remember the stronger gender, helped redirect us toward a more upbeat, hip book, and pushed for Ted as our collaborator. Ted has a remarkable ability to embrace complex medical topics and make them fun; when he said something would be done, it was. We could not be bigger fans and admirers of his remarkable talents. Garys off-the-beaten-track genius came to life with stunning pictures that made us work even harder to match his creativity. Our agent Candice Fuhrmans level head and insightful comments and negotiations brought this book to life.

    We also want to thank the group at HarperCollins who keep believing in us, and who are just great to work with: Shelby Meizlik and especially Kathryn Huckshe made herself available and is clearly a rising star.

    We also want to thank the many patients and the thousands of people who sent questions, notes, cards, and e-mails that inspired many of the thoughts in this book, and, of course, the FAQs. We now receive eight hundred thank-you e-mails a day on our Web site (www.RealAge.com/youdocs). Nothing could motivate us more. Thank you.

    Joel Harper provided the inspiration and perspiration for the new workouts added in this editionwe are appreciative and younger due to his additions.

    Finally, we wish to express our gratitude for the many hours of work he created, the great friend who brought us togetherCraig Wynett. Besides being a world-class wit, Craig has a remarkable grasp of what the world needs that made him the mentor of many others before us. He took the time to connect the dots that we could not envision and provided advice that helped shape the direction of our book. Please blame him if you are unhappy with your purchase.

    Mikes Acknowledgments

    I am grateful to the many other people who did not discard the e-mails asking them for help. Dr. Jon Walters, a physician who doubles as a home makeover expert, seemed to find time to read as he drove from Pittsburgh to Cleveland and back again to teach us how to make the metaphors appropriate for both the home repairman and the health care professional (if you were driven off the road between Pittsburgh and Cleveland, blame us). He also contributed significantly to the science, especially in the sex chapter. The family trio of Dr. Axel Goetz, Anka Goetz, and Margarthe Goetz also merits special thanks for their critical review of the science, the artistry, and the style of the book chapter by chapter. I also want to thank Debbie Schwinn, MD, PhD, of UW, Seattle; Jeff Watson, DDS; John Hoepner, MD; John Campodonico; Sydney Unobskey; Jim Graham; Chas Brendler, MD; Roz Wattell; Marcie Anthone; Kandi Amelon; Jennifer Plant; Linda DeFrancisco; and Irwin Davis, who each took red pen to more than one chapter. Ruth Klein made the diet chapter easier to follow with her revisions. I also need to thank Tracy Hafen, who taught me a magnificent amount about exercise; Sukie Miller and Anita Shreve, for saying the early chapters were just what they wanted to read; the many gerontologists and internists who read sections of the book for accuracy; others on the RealAge team who validate and verify the content and contributed their expertise to the book, including the many who contributed recipes, such as Rich Tramonte and Gale Gand of Tru in Chicago; John La Puma, who taught me an amazing amount about cooking and nutrition, and collaboration; the staff of Rick Baylesss restaurants; Dan Zakri, and the chefs at the Kendall College of Nutrition in Chicago, who created many of the recipes; Shivani Chadha and Kate Poneta, the research associates who worked tirelessly to analyze the nutrients and calculate the RealAge effect of each recipe; especially Donna Szymanski (she must have incredible patienceshe taught me how to cook, and she cooked every recipe we testedover 350at least three times); and our tasters, especially the Wattels of Lettuce Entertain You.

    I also want to acknowledge the passion and tough love from the staff of the Center for Partnership Medicine at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, who encouraged the goals of RealAge and You: The Owners Manual, especially Dan Dermann, MD; Drew Palumbo; and Dean Harrison. And my partners, who allowed me the time to complete the work: Aaron Gerber, MD, Mike Kessel, and Jane Spinner; and others who encouraged the work, including Enrico Camporesi, Chris Fey, Laura Hand, Joel Delmonico, Jessie Dylan, Peter Uva, and Donna Gould.

    I want to especially acknowledge my colleagues at the Cleveland Clinic: Drs. Toby Cosgrove, Joe Hahn, Bridget Duffy, and Richard Lang. It is no accident that the clinic has been rated number one in cardiac care for thirteen years in a row (even Mehmet trained here). Eileen Sheil, Mike ODonnell, David Strand, Claire and Jim Young, Jim Blazer, and Paul Matsen make wellness a priority every day.

    Anne-Marie Ruthrauff, Michelle Lewis, Candy Lawrence, and Beth Grubb each deserves special thanks, as do some RealAge partners: Martin Rom and Charlie Silver; Arline McDonald, Tate Erlinger, Linda Van Horne, Carl Peck, Sally Kim, Mark Rudberg, Mike Parzen, and especially Keith Roach; and Harriet Imrey, the scientific partners (in addition to Axel Goetz) in the process of evaluating the data and scientific content of RealAge. I would feel as if I needed to do forty-eight minutes more on an exercise bike every day if I didnt acknowledge that Diane Reverand told me not to worry about offending medical colleaguesas long as the science was solid, they would understand you were trying to motivate the readers to understand they could control their own health and were responsible for doing so and for enjoying the extra energy and vitality.

    I cannot thank my wife, Nancy, enough for her constant love, encouragement, and support, and our children, Jeffrey and Jennifer, for their help, understanding, and patience. They read this book and used their scientific expertise in critical reading to ensure the content was an accurate representation of what we intended.

    I hope and believe this book will help YOU to take control of your body. That would be the best reward any physician could want.

    Mehmets Acknowledgments

    Some of the concepts for the book came from Second Opinion with Dr. Oz, a Discovery Channel series that helped viewers become world experts on their bodies. The vision and opportunity for this program came from my lifelong friend Billy Campbell. Together with his wonderful team, including Clark Bust Through the Clutter Bunting, Tomi Landis, Jim Berger, Janice Jensen, Lisa Tucker, and of course my executive producer wife, Lisa, we created content that became worthy of this book. Many of the finer concepts have been matured with the Discovery Health team, including Eileen ONeil, Donald Thoms, John Grassie, Erica Green, and John Greco. Mark Twain quipped, If I had more time, I would have made it shorter. My colleagues at New YorkPresbyterian Columbia University Medical Center helped me carve out the time needed to write as efficiently as needed for this owners manual, especially Eric Rose, Craig Smith, Yoshifuma Naka, Mike Argenziano, Henry Spotnitz, Barry Esrig, Alan Stewart, and the other superb surgeons on our team. The physicians assistants, especially Laura Baer, and nurses in the OR led by Flora Wang, ICU led by Majella Venturanza, and floor led by Eumne Shim show me frontline healing daily. Lidia Nieves, Michelle Washburn, and Diane Amato either organized my schedule so that no moment could be wasted or advised me wisely so I could slave over the book.
