A New Way to Age

Actress-turned-author Suzanne Somers blazes a naturally vibrant path to longevity

Surviving cancer twice led former Three’s Company star Suzanne Somers to redirect her approach to health and healing away from Western medicine’s overreliance on pharmaceuticals toward natural wellness options that encourage vital longevity. “Because I’ve had health challenges in my life,” says Somers, 73, “I decided to do it my way by changing the way I eat, the way I think, and the way I sleep, only utilizing allopathic medicine when absolutely necessary, which at times has been necessary and a god-send.”

This journey to integrative and alternative medicine inspired Somers to show others how to restore what the body loses in the aging process in her latest book, A New Way to Age: The Most Cutting-Edge Advances in Antiaging. Featuring interviews with forward-thinking doctors and scientists, the book “is for people like me who first want to try the natural route and not be given drug after drug,” says Somers. Instead, A New Way advocates everything from balancing minerals and nutrients to using CBD to seeking nonsurgical antiaging procedures.
