A couple of years ago we met a doctor who co-authored You: The Owner’s Manual...a comprehensive “how-to” book for staying healthy. On today’s Health Show, Dr. Michael Roizen is back...both here and on the bestseller lists with You: Staying Young...a manual that helps extend your warranty into old age. Then we’ll hear the fifth and final installment of our elder mental health series as we explore the special problems faced by gay elders. And we’ll find out that some of those home remedies your mom always talked about really do work.

YOU - STAYING YOUNG WHILE GETTING OLDER
In just a few generations, the life span of the average human has been extended by years thanks to advances in medicine and science. But while those advances have helped us to get older...staying young is another thing all together. That’s why Dr. Michael Roizen and his co-author Dr. Mehmet Oz have written a follow up to their best selling book You: The Owner’s Manual. It’s called "You: Staying Young - The Owner’s Manual For Extending Your Warranty"...and it’s another NY Times Number One best seller. Dr. Roizen, I guess the premise of this book is how you live...not how long you live.

In the fifth and final installment of our special series on elder mental health, Jacqueline Froelich reports on the lack of cultural understanding towards aging gay Americans.
