Book Review: "What’s AGE Got To Do With It?"

As a book lover, I love to read all different genres of books. I am pretty much open to anything (well almost anything!) So when I was offered the chance to review books, I jumped on it! I chose the book “What’s Age Got To Do With It” by Robin McGraw and yes I mean Dr. Phil’s wife. Now I am not a Dr. Phil watcher, I have probably only seen 2-3 shows and I new nothing about his wife. What intrigued me though about the book was that at 55 years old Robin McGraw looks great and she is sharing her secrets in this book.

Yes I know that I am young, but you are never too young to learn how to take care of yourself and I have heard that the earlier you start the easier it is to maintain a healthy lifestyle into old age. So I dove into Robin’s book determined to learn where her fountain of youth is! What I found instead is some great tips, facts, exercises, and more about my body in general.

In this book, Robin McGraw covers everything from fitness, nutrition, skin care and hormones, to hair, makeup, fashion, and faith. She uses her personal stories and experiences to explain topics and show that she too had and has faults. She explains how poor she was, how she gained 80 lbs. during her first pregnancy, and how she discovered that she had food allergies.

Throughout the book, Robin also references her family, the sudden death of her mother, and her day to day routines. She walks you through how to stay fit, healthy, feel good about yourself, and just being a woman whether you are poor, middle-class., or wealthy. She was not always rich and famous, she did struggle and live on virtually no income, which she shows how, she managed back then and how her lifestyle changes progressed.

Now I know this book is not for everyone and believe me at first I thought this book was going to all technical and preaching, but it is a refreshing point of view from someone who has worked their way up and looked good doing it! I have learned some great tips and loved reading opinions from the experts she introduced throughout her book. Overall, I enjoyed this book and plan on passing it on to my friends.
