ROBIN MCGRAW SOUNDS HER MOST PERSONAL AND PASSIONATE CALL TO ACTION FOR ALL WOMEN IN HER NEWEST BOOK WHAT’S AGE GOT TO DO WITH IT?

(Nashville, Tenn.) Busy women, wives and mothers often put themselves last on their very long to-do lists. Nurturing by nature, women work hard to make sure their loved ones’ needs and happiness come first. But now is the time for women of all ages to get serious about taking care of themselves. That is the mantra of #1 New York Times bestselling author Robin McGraw, and the stirring call to action in her newest book, What’s Age Got To Do With It? Living Your Healthiest and Happiest Life (January 2009, Thomas Nelson, Inc., ISBN13: 9781400202140, $24.99).

Opening her life up to readers, McGraw lets women know that the number of birthday candles they may be blowing out doesn’t matter. What does matter is their attitude toward life and making the best and smartest choices they can make for themselves. Her advice about how to do exactly that is in this new book, separated into 9 sections – from skincare to style, nutrition to hormones that address the most important ways women can become their healthiest, happiest and most energetic selves. “One reason I’m passionate about this is because I know that in order to be the best wife, mother, daughter, sister, employee, or anything else you want to be, you have to first take care of yourself.

By taking care of your health, you give an amazing gift to those who love and care about you. That’s why I say to you if you love your children – take care of their mother first. If you love your husband, take care of his wife first. If you love your parents, take care of your daughter first,” McGraw says.

In What’s Age Got To Do With It?, Robin McGraw shares her best and most practical secrets for taking the first steps toward better health, nutrition, fitness, skincare, and style, including the importance of faith in the process. Health and happiness are not a result of how much money you make, how much extra time you have, or where you live. Want to save money on a gym membership? Robin explains at-home exercises that can help you to a better body.

Think there aren’t enough hours in the day to exercise? Break up the recommended 30 minutes of daily exercise into 3 ten-minute increments for great results. Think it’s impossible to eat that nightly bowl of ice cream and still lose weight? Robin will share her secrets to eating well (and often) while maintaining your optimal weight. No room for spa treatments in the family budget? A great skincare recipe can be as close as your own kitchen cabinet.

Along with these practical tips, Robin calls on a panel of renowned specialists who augment her personal advice with their professional expertise in each of the areas that matter most. Including everything from sample menu ideas and workout tips to Robin’s daily skin care routine, What’s Age Got to Do With It? not only offers readers the benefit of what she has learned through her own life experience, but they also receive sound professional guidance.

Within chapters that read like a conversation with a close girlfriend, McGraw shares the stories of pivotal moments in her life that taught her crucial lessons—her mother’s sudden death at the young age of 58, a poignant heart-to-heart with her sister the day Robin married Dr. Phil, and a one-size-fits-all menopausal diagnosis from a busy, insensitive doctor. Each of these moments in McGraw’s life mark significant revelations that she made about the importance of taking care of herself and the way that realization has, in turn, allowed her to be the healthiest and happiest 55 years young wife, mother, sister, daughter, and friend.

“I have made it one of my life’s missions to achieve and maintain the best state of health I possibly can. It has become a passion, hobby and commitment that has often involved hours a day scouring the internet, reading books, and interviewing experts to learn everything I can about women’s health. My goal has always been to find every tool possible to influence the pace with which I age and discover the best way to do it with grace. But that day my mother died, I didn’t just promise to do this for myself, I promised to do it for other women too. I wanted to share what I was learning and help them understand that taking care of yourself and becoming an active manager of the body which God has given you isn’t selfish – it’s essential. And that is what this book is about.”
