2008 Brief Introduction:
The Metabolic Model of Aging has created a unified view of the myriad forces and events that cause the aging process. While academicians split hairs trying to differentiate between age-related degeneration and the diseases that result, the average baby boomer is only interested in one thing: “What can I do right now, to maintain health, vitality and wellness?” To that point, the Metabolic Model describes a seesaw between the regenerative forces inherent in human physiology, and the damage that we experience over time (see The Metabolic Plan, Ballantine, 2003). With this understanding, it becomes clear that as the seesaw tips against you (repair fails, damage accumulates), morbidity and mortality follow.
