Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
  • "I'm 42-years-old, but feel like I'm 62."
  • "I have lost my glow."
  • "I miss the woman I used to be."
  • "I'm so afraid of getting older."
  • "I want to feel healthy and alive again"

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 realize 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 realize 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 realized 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."

3 out of 5 stars A good resource for women   November 19, 2009
E. Wright
Robin McGraw's book, What's Age Got To Do With It? is a great resource for women dealing with the natural aging process. It's not easy going down this road. Strange things are happening to our body and mind and Robin does a great job of explaining how SHE is dealing with it all. I especially liked her chapter on hormones. As a woman that is in perimenopause, I found it very interesting and may speak with my doctor about the option of bio-identical hormones.

Robin is open and honest about her life and how she is dealing with it all. I was, however, disappointed in the chapter on faith. What's Faith Got To Do With It? um, everything in my book, yet this was the shortest chapter in the entire book! But again, she is honest in admitting that when she isn't spending time with God, she can tell!

I think this is a good book for women to read, no matter what age. It can help us all prepare for what is ahead or help us through what's going on right now. Just remember to take it with a grain of salt, this is HER life she's talking about, not your life. We'll all deal with things differently, Mrs. McGraw just gives us her perspective on how she deals with it!



1 out of 5 stars Oh to love Robin as much as she does   November 12, 2009
Rich Ball (Washington, DC)
I picked this title up for my wife, who is a fan of Robin's. It's hard to believe Mrs. McGraw when she claims this title is to help average women, when it is written like a self-serving love letter from her own ego. There are few parts that don't feel completely disingenuous, and they tend to be the dry parts of information pretty much everyone already knows (I'm guessing these are the parts her editor added). Overall, I'm sure Robin thinks she sounds like an approachable Christiana Northrup, but comes across like a spoiled elitist. I don't mean to sound bitter; and indeed, I'd gone to this title for inspiration, there just isn't much better to be said for this book.


5 out of 5 stars Wife said it was great   November 12, 2009
Jim Z
This was one I ordered for my wife. She indicated that the book was written in an easy to follow style , with a host of uplifting moments. As a regular Dr. Phil viewer , she looked forward to reading this book , and would recommend it to any woman over 40.


4 out of 5 stars im really not looking after myself   November 11, 2009

1 out of 5 stars BIG Discrepancy   October 17, 2009
caroline middleton (savannah, georgia)
Robin makes a huge case for taking responsibility for your health and well-being. " . . . it's never too early to become an active manager of your health and well-being." "I also believe in being proactive in health care." " . . . you choose how to live your life and how you approach it. Every day is a choice."
And you know what? She's right!
But here's the rub. In the chapter on Faith, she makes this statement, "almost every night while relaxing in the bath, I thank God for his love and guidance. But when I can, I also try to sit down for a one-on-one conversation with him. Doing this every day is not realistic for me . . . "

WOW! You can list your workout schedule on page 31, but you can't schedule God in for even 10 minutes a day?

Robin . . . I'm truly disappointed. Have you gone completely Hollywood or is that how it always has been?

Maybe you never intended to attract Christian women, but you did. Your appearances on the Women of Faith tour led lots of us to believe that there was a wonderful new Christian woman in Hollywood. I would never judge your heart. That is between you and God. However, Christ DID tell us to look at people's fruits. Based on what you wrote in this book, I don't see you doing outward things to pursue Christ as much as you do a fit body.
