And then, through Age Reduction Planning, teaches you how to slow the aging process-even reverse it . People of the same chronological age are often very different ages biologically. Some people age faster than their years. Others are able to slow down the rate of aging. Through the lifestyle people live they age at different rates, find out what your real age is and how you can either make your age younger or stay on track.   You may have see Dr. Roizen on 20/20 in July of 1999 or on Oprah in July of 1999.
