Health Authorities and Average People
Alike are Raving about NHE!

    "I have read NHE and incorporated it into my life over the last month with amazing results. I thought I was fit, but the information in NHE put me in touch with an unprecedented physical, emotional and psychological well-being and strength. Rob Faigin's work is simply the most profound, cutting edge information that I have come into contact with in years. I am deeply grateful for what Mr. Faigin has contributed toward my own health and the health of the country."

Arthur Giacalone, Ph.D., Walnut Creek, CA

 

    "Having read Natural Hormonal Enhancement cover-to-cover (twice), I definitely agree with the doctors, scientists, and bodybuilders who are calling it the most important and revolutionary book ever written on the topic of health and fitness. Powerful and comprehensive, this may truly be the closest we will ever get to "steroid-like" results from exercise and diet."

Dan Gallapoo, Editor-in-Chief,
"Bodybuilding for the Genetically Average Joe"

 

    "Natural Hormonal Enhancement is a masterpiece of research combined with honest, intelligent thought. I believe it will be seen as a landmark in health and fitness literature. Sacred, long established dogmas are challenged and demolished with argument and experience backed by scientific reference. But much more than a theoretical work, Natural Hormonal Enhancement shows how to maximize health and fitness simply by working within the body's own hormonal systems, naturally, safely, and effectively.

    You should read and act upon this book - Sacred, long established dogmas are challenged and demolished with argument and experience backed by scientific reference. But much more than a theoretical work, Natural Hormonal Enhancement shows how to maximize health and fitness simply by working within the body's own hormonal systems, naturally, safely, and effectively.

    You should read and act upon this book -
it will quite simply change your life for the better."

Richard J. Marsh, MD., MA, BM., BCh.(Oxon), MRCGP. -
Churchill Fellow

 

    "Superbly written and researched, Natural Hormonal Enhancement is must-reading for anyone interested in super-health and optimal performance."

Rick Hughes, LLB, MFS, ND, former Mr. New Zealand,
author of "Fat Attack"

 

    "Natural Hormonal Enhancement is a book of immeasurable significance and value. It belongs in every household and should be required reading for every health professional. Never has there been a book of such sweeping scope and penetrating insight, which advances so many original ideas and holds such potential to help so many people improve their lives."

Kay Lachowski, Book Review Editor, Online USA

 

    "Natural Hormonal Enhancement is the best resource in the world. I personally recommend you read this book."

Peter Klein, CEO, Sports One Inc.

 

    "Natural Hormonal Enhancement is is the bible of health and fitness. I have benefited tremendously both in terms of my own health and fitness and from the new perspective I have gained from this fascinating book. It is great to see that there are people who want to make the world healthier, not just fill their pockets with money made from phony information."

Brian Plowman, Certified U.S. Olympic Weightlifting Coach

 

    "As an anti-aging specialist, I have read many of the popular health and longevity books. Very few have impressed me. For this reason, I probably never would have read Natural Hormonal Enhancement had my associate not insisted, after reading it himself. Admittedly, I picked-up the book with a negative predisposition, assuming it would be more of the same. I couldn't have been more wrong in that assumption. Natural Hormonal Enhancement is exceptionally well-written and well-researched and it contains revolutionary information that even many of my peers don't understand or don't recognize. I highly recommend this book."

Dr. Rashid Buttar, founder,
Institute of Advanced Concepts in Alternative and
Preventative Medicine


    "Natural Hormonal Enhancement is phenomenal. What it preaches is absolutely true.
I am living proof of the principles of this book."

Chris Berger, #4 Ranked U.S. Amateur Bodybuilder,
Middleweight Division (featured in Muscle and Fitness 6/99, pages 60-66)

 

    "Natural Hormonal Enhancement is a truly great book with more knowledge packed into it than any book I have ever seen---congratulations on an honest, intelligent and revolutionary book."

Bob Berger, Phd., Ft. Lauderdale, FL


    "To be a good trainer, one must first be a good student. NHE cleared-up a lot of the missing pieces of what I knew from experience was right, but did not know why. In my opinion, Rob Faigin is the Grand Champion of health and fitness authors, and his book is truly a masterpiece. I have learned from the best teachers and studied from the best books, and Natural Hormonal Enhancement is in a class by itself. It is cutting-edge fitness technology presented in a format that the average person can easily understand, follow, and apply instantly. There you have it: "The World's Best Personal Trainer's" recommendation for what he feels is The World's Best Book for building a better body. " 

George Baselice, Grand Champion,
Met-Rx World's Best Personal Trainer Contest


    "Natural Hormonal Enhancement is, by far, the most extensively researched, well thought-out, and beautifully presented health and fitness book I have ever read. Mr. Faigin has quite the gift of the pen, and the 1700 research references are absolutely mind-boggling. A real credit to him for being able to assemble all of these different sources of information into a book that I simply could not put down. As a personal trainer, I am especially grateful because Natural Hormonal Enhancement not only benefits me and my wife, but also my present and future clients. Many thanks."

Trevor Beairsto, personal trainer, Toronto, Canada

 

    "I honestly do not know where to begin my comments about Natural Hormonal Enhancement. I have never ever found a book on health and fitness like it that contains so many concepts that I fully accept and endorse, which fly in the face of my past beliefs. As a college student who is still on a tight budget, I hesitated to dish out $30 for Natural Hormonal Enhancement - even though the title looked interesting. But after having read it I can say wth all sincerity that it is worth 10, 100, if not 1000 times its retail price."

Nathaniel Hancock, Mr. Utah
(lightweight division)

 



 

    "I have read Natural Hormonal Enhancement twice, and want to read it again. Not because it is hard to understand, but that there is SO much info and it is so inter-related that it's like suddenly finding you have x-ray vision and you're able to see through the human body… and it's overwhelming!!!!"

Linda Hinson, Eldon, MO

    "I love NHE because it explains everything clearly and cites specific references. I have already told many people about the book and have urged them to buy it. I believe it to be very beneficial and crucial for everyone's health. I cannot say enough about NHE, all fitness books should be written like this. Rob Faigin has done an incredible job and a service to us all."

Bryan Eckhardt, Cornell University, Cornell, NY

 

    "Reading Natural Hormonal Enhancement was like finding the key to a very important door. Like so many women, I have struggled for years with weight, moods, and energy, with little success following conventional diet and exercise programs. Natural Hormonal Enhancement, particularly the Eating Plan and lifestyle modification strategies, has proven much different from anything else I've tried. It has opened a door to a whole new world - one of energy, mood stability, and body fat loss. It has improved every aspect of my life, even my business! I just can't stop saying thank you to Rob Faigin!"

Jill Berrelli, MSW., Phoenix, AZ

 

    "Natural Hormonal Enhancement is great! There are answers to so many of the questions that have been plaguing me for so long. The beauty of NHE lies in its practical, hands-on style, backed-up by logical scientific explanations."

John Knowles, Cape Town, South Africa

 

    "With all the hype out there, Rob Faigin is front-and-center with the best advice I've heard and, more importantly, with what my OWN body tells me about how it responds to different regimes."

Valerie Bishop, Atlanta, GA

 

    "I was blown away by what I read in NHE. It all makes so much sense! I have been involved with bodybuilding and power lifting for several years now and am glad to hear that I am doing some things right and am even more happy to hear about the things I've been doing wrong....now I am convinced I can fix 'em.
     It has been one month since my wife and I started the NHE program, and already people are noticing changes. For the first time in fifteen years, I can see the bicep vein poking through again, and I will be 39 in a few months. The fat is peeling off my wife, too. I'm loving the results and so is she. Thank you for
an excellent book, well written with tremendous insight, that makes sense and does exactly what it promises to do. I'm sure I will be quoting you to young athletes for years to come!"

Andrew White, Kingston, NY

 

    "Natural Hormonal Enhancement brings together in a unified way many loose threads that have made the rounds of both the research establishment and the general hearsay conduits. A marvelous synthesis - congratulations to Rob Faigin for shouldering the task."

Bob Gallo, Great Mills, MD


    "I have tried all kinds of fat loss programs over the years, and they all have one thing in common – they don’t work. Money spent on books, weight loss supplements, energy bars, sports drinks – and nothing to show for it except a skinnier wallet. How long can you stick to a diet or exercise program when you are not seeing results? At the peak of frustration, I found Natural Hormonal Enhancement. I can describe NHE in one word – different. Different in concept, different in results. The first change was greater energy levels. Then, just a few weeks after beginning the program, I could see my abs for the first time! Everyone around me noticed and started asking questions. I have more motivation now than ever because of the excellent results. NHE is the best. "

Luke Buckley, Sydney, Australia

 

    "Two and a half weeks ago, I started the NHE program and I am delighted to say that I have never felt so energetic! My mood is better and I am shedding bodyfat without effort."

John Thompson, Rochester, NY

    "I will be contacting you in the near future about a volume discount as I plan to give Natural Hormonal Enhancement as a gift to all my friends and family members. As far as comparing the book to others, there is NO COMPARISON. I've read books by Sears (The Zone), Eades & Eades (Protein Power), Atkins (New Diet Revolution), and Peskin (Beyond the Zone). All of these authors and books are ahead of their time and present profound pieces of the big picture, but they all left me with the sense that something was missing. A "Grand Unified Theory," if you will. Well, after reading Natural Hormonal Enhancement, I have no doubt whatsoever that NHE is the Grand Unified Theory of Health. At last, I have found the "Big Picture." Thank you."

Steve Mink, Dallas, TX

    "When I received NHE, I read it cover to cover. It was like a John Grisham novel; the information was so compelling that I couldn't put it down. Finally, I had a crystal clear picture of what I needed to do. I've turned a half-dozen friends on to NHE, and everybody is experiencing fantastic results. Thanks again for opening my eyes. You have an NHE convert for LIFE!!!"

Steven M. Kip, Senior Director of Corporate Marketing, Tampa Bay Lightning, Tampa, FL

 

    "It is hard speaking out against the majority's way of thinking, and I must confess at first I was a little embarrassed to mention NHE because it is so different from the conventional view. That is, . . . until I started feeling better, losing body fat, my sugar cravings stopped, and my energy levels increased. I think NHE is great!"

Debbie Virts, Fitness Instructor, Baltimore, MD

 

    "I’ve read NHE cover-to-cover three times, and it continues to amaze me! So many thanks to Rob Faigin for standing up to the misinformation that has been pressed on average misguided people like me. I feel great since starting the program, and I have a new optimism about achieving my goals!"

Joshua "DJ" Olson, Santa Fe, NM

 

    "Natural Hormonal Enhancement is a brilliant book. I have read many fitness books and many recommend various routines and diets but none so completely explain the reasoning behind it and none are backed by so much evident scientific knowledge."

Tim Humble, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, England

 

    "Natural Hormonal Enhancement is the most fascinating book I have ever read. I actually sat down and read continuously for 5 hours a night until I finished a few days later (and I'm not a big reader). I have read a lot about exercise and health, and NHE is the most informative and well-researched book I have seen."

Jon Barrett, Champaign, IL

 

    "NHE is fabulous, an excellent collection of information. I can’t say enough about it. Since beginning the program, my health has improved and I have lost 25 pounds of fat! You should see the reaction of people when they see me and ask, "What pills are you taking?" to lose the weight. We are blessed to have access to this information."

Ronnetta Lee, Cleveland, OH

 

    "I've been an avid bodybuilder and fitness enthusiast for nearly two decades. As incredible as it may sound, I have made more progress towards achieving a lean muscular physique in just over 2 months since applying NHE, than I have in the previous 20 years (embarrassing but true). Specifically, hydrostatic bodyfat testing indicates that since beginning the NHE program, my bodyfat has dropped from 22% to 14% while I have actually gained muscle mass! I am finally developing the "chiseled look" I've always wanted thanks to this program, and I feel confident as I prepare for my first bodybuilding competition. Based on the astounding results I have achieved in such a short period of time, I recommend Natural Hormonal Enhancement with unequivocal enthusiasm."

Jon Ayling, Tasmania, Australia

 

    "I loved NHE. It was revolutionary for me. I have been a brown rice, wheatgrass juice, and aerobics geek for 30 years, and I have the potbelly to prove it. Since reading your book, I have lost lots of fat and gained lots of muscle and willpower. Thanks so much."

Roger Bird, Colorado Springs, CO

 

 

Natural Hormonal
Enhancement:

The Ultimate Strategy for: Physique Transformation,
Lifetime Youthfulness, and Super-Health

Introduction

    Recent research has demonstrated that aging, health, and body composition are more closely interrelated than previously suspected, and hormones are the unifying factor. This realization presents the thrilling prospect of using one grand strategy to attack all three areas simultaneously - to arrest aging, while achieving super-health, while at the same time permanently eliminating excess bodyfat. Natural Hormonal Enhancement advances this grand strategy in a detailed and concise form that the average person can easily understand and follow.

Author: Rob Faigin, J.D.

Pages: 343

Documentation: Contains more than 1700 pinpoint references to the world’s leading scientific and medical journals.

Publisher: Natural Hormonal Enhancement is published by Extique, Inc. Extique is committed to researching and marketing new, natural approaches to health, fully backed by published scientific research. Extique is also a "watchdog," committed to exposing corruption, deception, and incompetence in the health and fitness industry.

Topicality and Significance

    Natural Hormonal Enhancement (NHE) is a book of unparalleled importance for every living person. Breakthrough research has revealed that hormones play a paramount role in human aging - particularly, the physical degeneration and body composition changes associated with aging. Recent research in this area has been so compelling, in fact, that many highly respected doctors and scientists now believe that the progressive degenerative process commonly referred to as "aging" is largely a symptom of adverse hormonal changes. As the evidence mounts, this theory of aging increasingly gains converts, even within the conservative circles of conventional medicine.

    Judging by recent book releases and articles in popular fitness periodicals, hormones are currently the hottest topic in health and fitness. However, most of the existing literature on this subject relates to unnatural hormonal enhancement, i.e., pills, drugs, and injections. NHE is a revolutionary departure from this highly problematic approach. A landmark achievement, this masterful work shows how naturally, safely, and effectively to harness the profound biological forces – called hormones – which reside within each of us.

Substantive Overview

    Natural Hormonal Enhancement has three dimensions: 1) a research synthesis, 2) a comprehensive, practical fitness program, and 3) a critical commentary.

A Research Synthesis

    Natural Hormonal Enhancement is a synthesis of the available scientific evidence relating to the impact of natural factors on lipolytic (fat-burning), muscle- enhancing (anabolic), and anti-aging hormones. Pinpoint cited to more than 1700 published scientific/medical articles, NHE is the most meticulously documented health and fitness book ever written. By virtue of its analytical objectivity and rigorous source citation, NHE establishes a much-needed standard in a standardless industry in which contradictory half-truths compete for public acceptance. NHE focuses principally on growth hormone, IGF-1, testosterone, cortisol, insulin, glucagon; and contains compelling new information concerning estrogen and progesterone. NHE’s treatise-like breadth, tightly logical organization, and extensive interweaving of the "larger picture" with supporting factual details are supplemented by a wealth of charts, graphs, diagrams, and liberal use of humor.

A Comprehensive,
Practical Fitness Program

    More than merely a synthesis of research, Natural Hormonal Enhancement distills the research into a practical program that the average person can apply to improve his/her physique and health while effectively combating aging. The NHE program is comprehensive, touching on every aspect of life, i.e., diet, exercise, and lifestyle. More so than any book in history, Natural Hormonal Enhancement demonstrates the need for an integrated, holistic approach to health and fitness (as opposed to the simplistic, one-dimensional, fundamentally flawed approach of "Atkins" or "The Zone"). And NHE provides the couch potato with a scientifically sound, realistically achievable program for physique improvement; while the serious athlete will find NHE to be a viable alternative to steroids and other risky performance-enhancing drugs.

Lifestyle

   On the topic of lifestyle, Natural Hormonal Enhancement addresses: smoking, alcohol, sleep, stress, sunlight, mental outlook, sex, and personal relationships. Specifically, NHE illuminates how these factors affect hormone levels, and provides practical recommendations about how to modify these factors as a vehicle for improving hormonal status.

Diet

    Natural Hormonal Enhancement presents scientific evidence demonstrating that restrictive dieting is a biologically impossible means of achieving lasting fat loss; and it reveals the counterproductive impact of conventional dieting on hormones and metabolism. In addition to shattering the prevailing restriction-based dietary paradigm, Natural Hormonal Enhancement advances a revolutionary dietary plan designed to produce fat loss by naturally stimulating fat-burning and muscle-enhancing hormones. Stated differently, the NHE Eating Plan capitalizes on the drug-like effects that food has on hormone levels.

    Natural Hormonal Enhancement asserts that hormonal imbalance is the root cause of the soaring rate of obesity in the U.S.; and it argues, accordingly, that the only way to achieve permanent fat loss is to alter the hormones that dictate "fat-burning" vs. "fat-storing" state. The nearly universal "rebound effect" (in which the dieter promptly regains lost fat after discontinuing the diet) experienced by conventional dieters is vivid testimony to what happens when a dietary approach is adopted that addresses the symptom (i.e., excess bodyfat) rather than the cause (i.e., a fat-producing hormonal state). Specifically, the NHE Eating Plan is based on a dietary technology called macronutrient cycling. Macronutrients are protein, fat, and carbohydrate. The Eating Plan teaches how to cycle macronutrients as a means of naturally stimulating fat-burning, muscle-enhancing, and anti-aging hormones. The practical effect is that no food is categorically prohibited, but rather must be eaten at the right time (i.e., appropriately "cycled" into your diet).

    In summary, the NHE Eating Plan is a departure from conventional diets in two respects: 1) it is not based on restriction, and 2) it aims at the underlying cause of fat gain – hormonal imbalance.

Exercise

    New research into the hormonal dynamics of exercise reveals that much of the conventional wisdom on exercise is wrong. Specifically, the prevailing emphasis on burning calories is misguided. Natural Hormonal Enhancement shows that calories burned during exercise are relatively insignificant. The major benefits of a properly designed exercise routine are metabolic and hormonal in nature.

    Every time you exercise you temporarily alter the hormonal environment inside your body. Unfortunately, these hormonal effects are not always favorable. Natural Hormonal Enhancement demonstrates how a "hormonally incorrect" exercise routine can weaken immunity and accelerate aging by means of stimulating catabolic hormones. Unfortunately, a large percentage of people who work-out are systematically stimulating catabolic hormones while suppressing "good" hormones, like growth hormone and testosterone. This accounts for why so many people exercise for months, or even years, while experiencing little or no positive changes in their physique.

    Natural Hormonal Enhancement shows how to structure an exercise regimen for optimal hormonal response. The relevant factors here are: frequency, intensity, duration, volume, and exercise selection. NHE explains, specifically, how these factors correlate with growth hormone, IGF-1, cortisol, testosterone, insulin, and estrogen; and it teaches how to properly modulate these variables as a means of dramatically increasing the effectiveness of your workouts.


A Critical Commentary

    Additionally, Natural Hormonal Enhancement is a scathing commentary on the current state of the health and fitness industry. NHE argues that a "health misinformation crisis" exists, which is primarily responsible for the exceedingly high rates of obesity and degenerative diseases in the United States. NHE debunks the idea that cancer, osteoporosis, diabetes, and heart disease are on the decline, by highlighting the difference between the death rate of these diseases (which is falling as doctors become ever more proficient at treating the sick and dying) and the incidence of these diseases (which has not abated despite the fact that we are living in an era of fantastic technological advancement). Billions of dollars per year and prodigious human suffering are the penalties of health misinformation, NHE argues.

    Specifically, Natural Hormonal Enhancement indicts the pharmaceutical/ medical establishment, contending that the Establishment's close-minded fixation on preferred theories and treatments (i.e., patentable drugs and expensive and traumatic procedures such as surgery and radiation, rather than natural approaches geared toward prevention which offer no profit potential to the Establishment) is directly contributing to death and debility in the United States and around the world. NHE cites specific instances in which lifesaving information has been suppressed or ignored; and it argues that intellectual arrogance among medical practitioners, and bureaucratic inertia and institutional bias among government health authorities is greatly impeding progress in the fight against aging and disease.

    Natural Hormonal Enhancement also attacks the segment of the fitness industry that is systematically propagating false and misleading information in an effort to sell ineffective, and sometimes harmful, products to an American public desperately searching for answers to how to lose fat and get in shape. NHE uncovers shocking evidence of corruption and hypocrisy in the fitness industry; and NHE sounds a dire alarm that the health information pool is becoming so contaminated by competing false ideas driven by vested interest and greed, that truth about the most critical of all topics - human health and well-being - is becoming increasingly inaccessible.

 

Summary

    Natural Hormonal Enhancement is an explosive book with revolutionary implications. At its core, NHE is a book about truth: 1) it dispels popular misconceptions 2) it exposes the forces of misinformation that have made the U.S. the sickest (in terms of degenerative disease) and fattest nation in the world 3) and it illuminates the true path to optimal health and well-being. A new vision of health, a natural solution combining common sense with science, which produces concrete results and which we can easily integrate into our lives, is long overdue – but finally here. Certain to become an international bestseller, Natural Hormonal Enhancement will leave an indelible imprint on the mind, and quite likely the body, of every reader.
