How To Be Young and Joyful At Any Age

May 27, 2010, Los Angeles -- Aging isn’t what we’ve been led to think, according to Taos NM resident Ellen Wood, Age-reversing Pioneer, columnist and author of The Secret Method for Growing Younger. “You don’t have to become weak, lose your faculties or stop living your dreams as you age. That’s just an idea we’ve all come to believe. It’s a powerful belief with negative results because what we believe can have a profound effect on the cells of our bodies, according to epigenetic scientists. This new science is also proving that we can change our beliefs and therefore change our biology,” says Wood.

This summer, Wood and Dr. Terry Grossman, one of the world’s top anti-aging physicians and medical director of Grossman Wellness Center in Denver, will be sharing their knowledge and action steps for growing younger with Coloradans in person in Vail and Aspen. (see below for dates and locations)

Together, Wood and Dr. Grossman teach from the personal experience of growing younger and the physician’s knowledge and experience – resulting in what promises to be a life-changing presentation. It is titled How to Be Young and Joyful at Any Age.

Grossman, an M.D. practicing in Colorado since completing medical school in 1979, focuses on integrative medicine and preventive wellness. He has developed successful protocols for the nutritional treatment of such diverse conditions as heart disease, many forms of cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia, macular degeneration and autistic spectrum disorders. In 2000, Dr. Grossman began to include age management medicine as a major focus of his medical practice. Since that time patients have come to the center from all over the US and every continent of the world.

At 73, Ellen Wood is living proof that it’s possible to grow younger and reverse the symptoms of aging most people accept as normal. After watching her mother waste away with Alzheimer’s, Wood expected the same to be her fate. Before long, this vibrant, retired marketing executive began to experience short-term memory loss and other distressing signs of progressive deterioration. Then something happened. Ellen Wood, at age 67, decided not to go that route. She made up her mind to grow younger and got busy finding out how she might do that.

Her own program, involving body, mind and spirit action steps, turned her life around. Wood regained her mental acuity; a stronger, more flexible body and the stamina and energy she’d had 30 years before. That’s when she knew she had to share her findings and help others grow younger as well.

After publishing her first book, Wood began speaking professionally for corporations and conferences as well as sharing her tips through a newspaper column, blog and newsletters. Her website is www.howtogrowyounger.com.

Author of The Baby Boomer's Guide to Living Forever (2000), Dr. Grossman collaborated with futurist Ray Kurzwell to coauthor Fantastic Voyage: Live Long Enough to Live Forever in 2004. His latest book, TRANSCEND: Nine Steps to Living Well Forever was published in April 2009. Dr. Grossman’s website is www.grossmanwellness.com.
