If you've had these or similar thoughts, you're not
alone. Robin McGraw, wife of television talk show host
Dr Phil McGraw, receives thousands of emails from women
asking her what she does to look and feel so vibrant,
energetic and healthy at the age of 55. It all started
back in Robin's twenties and thirties when pivotal
moments in her life made her realise that if she did not
put her health and well-being first, no one else would.
One such moment came in her early thirties when Robin
experienced the sudden death of her mother, a wonderful
woman who put the needs of her family above her own and,
as a result, didn't know that her health was ailing.
This tragedy made Robin realise that in order to be the
best wife, mother and woman possible, she had to take
care of herself as if her life depended on it. In
'What's Age Got To Do With It', Robin urges you to do
the same and shows you that it's not selfish to take
care of yourself. Robin says, 'I wrote this book, not
only to answer questions about what I do to stay healthy
and in shape, but to remind women that it's time to move
yourself to the top of your list of priorities. If you
can't do it for you, then do it for your family. Because
my precious mother never did that, she missed out on so
many wonderful years and experiences. I realised that it
doesn't make you a better wife or parent if you're
sacrificing everything - including your health, soul and
spirit - for your family. I refuse to perpetuate that
legacy and I want you to join me and get excited about
living your life in a passionate, happy and healthy way.
It's never too early to start taking care of yourself,
but it's also never, ever too late.'
