Who Would Take Aging Advice From Suzanne Somers Anyway?

Suzanne Somers has come out with a book called 'Ageless: The Naked Truth About Bioidentical Hormones' based on hormone therapies. When did she become a doctor? I must have missed that QVC episode. Physicians (I mean real ones) say that the book is filled with "nonmedical, misleading and unsubstantiated" claims that could be harmful to women. Isn't this a huge jump from her days as a ThighMaster promoter? Now she is telling women to mess around with their hormones. When asked to defend her writings, Suzanne said the book is a: "medically validated approach" that can help reverse "the aging process" and maintain "a healthy, vibrant, mentally sharp, sexually active life - while building the body's natural defenses against age-related diseases.

"We believe 'Ageless: The Naked Truth About Bioidentical Hormones' is detrimental and dangerous to the thousands of women who will read it," Dr. Erika Schwartz, a Manhattan internist on the board of the SUNY Downstate College of Medicine, told Page Six. "The book freely and repeatedly blurs the line of medical ethics and science with hearsay." (source)
