Anti-Aging: Defy Aging Quiz

Dr. Michael Brickey is creating a revolution in anti-aging.
 

Anti-aging experts rave about

Dr. Michael Brickey's books

 

 

"An excellent road map and tool kit to assist you in creating a longer, healthier, more joyful life."  ~Bernie Siegel, MD.  

 

 

"[Dr. Brickey's book]

 52 baby steps to Grow Young provides a number of answers embodied in my own advice, i.e., 'you can’t turn back the clock but you can rewind it.'" 
~Art Linkletter

 


“People are living longer and healthier lives. [Dr. Brickey's book], Defy Aging shows us how to do it well. It’s a visionary road map to help us live fuller and richer lives."

~Betty Friedan, Ph.D.

 

“Dr. Brickey's new book Defy Aging has successfully achieved the near impossible task of distilling thousands of scientific articles and hundreds of books in the field of health and longevity into one easy-to-read compendium of anti-aging science. This is a must-read review book.”
~Ronald Klatz, MD, DO, President of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine

Fed up with all the
bull@#* about aging?

Trash the pills, needles, diets, surgeries,
and low expectations. Use your brain.
 

"I rarely use blue language, especially not on radio, TV, or in speeches, but what else can you call that age leeching garbage?--the geezer jokes, the over-the-hill drivel, the experts who study how your parents and grandparents aged and expect you to age that way." Don't swallow the low expectations people are feeding you.

Just say no to the bullscriptthe life sapping garbage beliefs that take you down the path to nursing home hell.

Unless you replace life sapping common beliefs with the Anti-Aging ABCs™  you are condemning yourself to a marginalized, shorter, compromised life.

Don't settle for that destiny. Stay in the game of life. You can join the thousands of people I have helped to easily, painlessly think, feel, look, and be more youthful.

Research finds that only 30% of longevity is genetic. That means that 70% is what you think and the lifestyle you choose.

Choosing a youthful lifestyle requires trashing the conventional beliefs that have become habits embedded in your unconscious mind–and learning life enhancing attitudes, beliefs, and coping skills that foster youthfulness and health.

Frankly, if you are into asanas, ayurveda, and auras, you will probably prefer new age gurus. If you are like most down-to-earth Westerners, however, you will find my effortless, straightforward approach makes more sense. It's remarkably simple when you know how. Wouldn't you like to know the secrets?

Did you ever notice how some people look, feel, and act younger than their age? Or wonder why some people sparkle and are still youthful in their 80s, 90s, and even their 100s while others seem old at 30? What are their...

What are their secrets?  I studied people in their hundreds who are flying airplanes, excelling at sports, teaching at colleges, writing best sellers, running businesses, practicing medicine, doing math in their heads, and many other accomplishments. They have told me their longevity and vitality secrets. I would like to share them with you so you too can live longer and feel and be more youthful.

Hate getting older? Want to feel a lot younger and live a lot longer? The longevity secrets  that I had featured on  Oprah and CNN, and around the world on the Voice of America are a proven anti-aging system to think, feel, look, and be more youthful.


My name is Dr. Michael Brickey. My forty  years as a researcher psychotherapist, and hypnotist taught me that you are only as old as you thinkthat age is only a number.

Unfortunately, you probably have a lot of limiting beliefs about aging that are deeply embedded in your unconscious mind. If you can find a way to tweak those beliefs, you will think/feel/look/be more youthful – and live a lot longer. It's that simple.

Don't Let Conventional Thinking Con You Into Being Old! 

After years of hearing comments and jokes about being over the hill at 30 or 50 or 65, your unconscious mind starts to believe it. Years of books, movies, and geezer cartoons reinforce that message and your unconscious mind comes to believe it. Those beliefs are mental poison! Your expectations become self-fulfilling prophecies that destroy your health and turn you into an old person – right when you should be getting the most out of life!

 It doesn't matter if you are 30, 50, 60 or 100+ years old – you can think, feel and be youthful. When you think agelessly, you feel more youthful. It shows in your face, your posture, and your energy. When you look more youthful, people even treat you better.  

If you act older people tend to

  • Avoid you
  • Treat you like you are invisible
  • Patronize you
  • Pass you over for a promotion or business opportunity

 When you exude youthfulness, you attract friends and admiration at every age.

 Examples of vitality include men and women in their hundreds who dance, sculpt, practice medicine, teach at universities, conduct orchestras, act in movies, write best selling books, fly airplanes, get their college degree, excel in sports, run for Congress and  even father children.

Would you like to know their secrets? 

You know the saying, “No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care?”  My corollary is: “No one cares how grey your hair is or how many wrinkles you have when you think, feel, and act young with energy, enthusiasm, and a positive outlook.”  

It’s not about grey hair or wrinkles; it’s about attitude and the joy of life.

 Most people expect to feel and look old at 50 or 60 or 70. Their bodies follow society’s expectations. They bow to conventional thinking and peer pressure to “act their age” – and it shows. Their expectations and conventional wisdom con them into becoming old. It doesn't have to be this way.

Don’t fall into the trap. The solution only takes 20 very relaxing minutes a day. The perfect time to listen is when you want to drift off into a good night’s sleep.

Of course, you need to take care of yourself physically. The biggest secret to longevity and vitality, however, is what and how you think.

I Literally Wrote The Book On How To Defy Aging 
Oprah Used My Defy Aging Test to Test Her Audience

During my distinguished career as a psychologist and hypnotist, I became increasingly fascinated with why some people think, feel, look, and act more youthful than their age – and what separates them from the herd.

That led me to study vital people in their hundreds to learn their secrets – and to scour professional research to learn what it takes to be youthful.

I found that youthful people had little in common physically. The difference was their Anti-Aging ABCs – Their Attitudes, Beliefs, and Coping Skills.

It was primarily their thinking rather than physical state that was allowing them to live longer, happier, more vital lives.

So I established the Ageless Lifestyles Institute and wrote the book, Defy Aging. It gives the research, theory and how-to for living well into your hundreds – for living longer, healthier, and happier.

Credentials?

Frankly, credentials don’t matter.           
         Results matter.
         More on that later.
But for those who value credentials, I am a:

  • licensed psychologist
  • Board Certified by the American Board of Professional Psychology (achieved by only 2% of American psychologists)
  • Fellow of the American Psychological Association (also achieved by only 2% of American psychologists)
  • NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) Master Practitioner
  • 40 years of conducing psychotherapy, teaching, and research
  • 35 years of conducting, teaching, and consulting in hypnosis
  • Popular professional speaker on Anti-Aging Psychology

 

      Defy Aging was:

  • featured on Oprah, CNN, and the Voice of America
  • a Finalist in Foreword Magazine’s Book of the Year Awards

   Endorsed by

  • The President of the American Academy on              Anti-Aging Medicine Dr. Ronald Klatz
  • cancer expert Dr. Bernie Siegel
  • brain expert Dr. Dharma Singh Khalsa
  • feminist & gerontologist Dr. Betty Friedan
  • men’s movement leader, Dr. Sam Keen
  • 5 past presidents of the 150,000 member         American Psychological Association

Fortunately, the ABCs are very learnable. I found, however, that a lot of people have good intentions but don’t read books. So I wrote 52 baby steps to Grow Young. It has two-page-a-week easy steps for developing a more youthful mindset.

 

           52 baby steps to Grow Young was:

         endorsed by Art Linkletter,

        ●  endorsed by Nido Qubein

        ●  endorsed by 6 past presidents of

             the 150,000 member American

             Psychological Association.

         ●  a Finalist in the 2006 Fresh Voices  

             awards

        ●  a Finalist in the 2006 Best Books   

            Awards

People love the simplicity and practicality of 52 baby steps to Grow Young. Businesses are using it as a premium for customers and potential customers. Alas, however, some people get so distracted with life’s busy pace they have difficulty developing the habit of reading the two pages a week.

 

Why I Created the

Reverse Aging: Hypnotic Journeys To Ageless Lifestyles CDs 

Defy Aging and 52 baby steps to Grow Young allowed me to help thousands of people outside my practice live longer, better lives. Yet, I understood there were thousands my books wouldn't reach.  

Yes, in today's world, many of us are simply too busy to sit down and read a book – even if we know it would help. I also found the concepts were even more effective when I could address unconscious “objections” as well as rational thinking. 

That's why I started to search for a way to make my age-defying secrets practical for people with hectic, stressful, busy lives.

 I took the most powerful secrets and incorporated them with Ericksonian hypnosis techniques to create a system that takes only 20 minutes a day.

The system is effective because it works on your unconscious mind to adopt healthier beliefs and to feel better – hours, even days after listening to the session.

People sometimes tell me, “I can’t be hypnotized.”  Even if that were true, you only need to become very relaxed to benefit from the CDs. And you will feel very, very relaxed.

Sounds too easy, doesn’t it? Just 20 minutes a day to look and feel younger. How can that be possible? It works though the power of hypnosis.

 

"I listen to Reverse Aging again and again and get something new every time. It is so refreshing and puts a bounce in my step and a sparkle in my eyes. It nudges me to be more optimistic, more positive, and dare to be more youthful."  ~Bob Donnelly 

  

"…an amazing tool that is helping me achieve a happier, healthier,    more positive life. I often use the CDs at bedtime and have found    the soothing format allows me to completely relax my mind and body to get a great night's rest while fully taking in the positive, powerful    messages of living an ageless lifestyle."     ~Susan Showalter 

 Let me be blunt.

There are lots of hypnotists that can get you into a very relaxed state. What separates powerful life changing hypnosis from just a relaxing experience is knowing how to craft the message to match the way your unconscious mind thinks. Rather than generic commands or generic affirmations, the message needs to capture your unconscious minds’ imagery and imagination with carefully crafted metaphors and stories.

I have been doing hypnosis for 35 years. My hypnosis training includes graduate hypnosis coursework at Ohio State University, one-on-one hands-on training with hypnosis experts, and numerous advanced courses, seminars, and certifications. I have often taught hypnosis to college students and psychology interns.

These are no ordinary hypnosis CDs. I teamed up with John David Jones a very talented musician who has worked with numerous Broadway stars, motivational speakers, and singers including Les Brown, Gladys Knight and Della Reece.

John created original 4-track keyboard music that hugs and enhances my words.

 

Let My CDs Take You Step By Step Along The Path

To A Longer And More Fulfilling Life!  

While you play the Reverse Aging: Hypnotic Journeys To Ageless Lifestyles CDs, you will be training your unconscious mind to develop your Anti-Aging ABCs.

You'll be taken step by step on a journey that will show you how to:

l        Reach a profound state of relaxation.

l        Enhance your sense of purpose and mission in life.

l        Bring a natural state of vitality and energy to your life.

l        Learn self-hypnosis techniques you can use to enhance your mental outlook for years to come. That’s right, each time you use the CDs you will be developing your self-hypnosis skills – skills that you can use for any concern you want to address (e.g., weight loss, test anxiety, athletic performance).

I found the CDs wonderfully helpful.  I listened at the end of my day, and fell asleep before the end of each one.  It was a very relaxing experience.  It seemed as though the content went directly to my subconscious.  I’m not aware of exactly what changed for me, but I feel happier and more hopeful.  This is a subtle change in attitude for me – two thumbs up for Dr. Brickey!
~Robin Reynolds


"…a refreshing mental oasis for me in this busy, demanding world. The gentle background music creates a serene backdrop for Dr. Brickey's soothing voice. Dr. Brickey expertly teaches each lesson."  ~Jack Brady

Dr. Barbara Holstein, in her review for the American

Psychological Association’s Independent Practitioner said:

 
“There are plenty of tapes and CDs to help people relax.
Reverse Aging
, however, is quite unique. Dr. Brickey has a
beautiful hypnosis voice and the message is crafted very well.
What is especially unique about Dr. Brickey’s CDs is the content
- his suggestions, stories and metaphors for living longer,
healthier and happier.

 The concepts, based on his critically acclaimed book, Defy Aging, intuitively make sense and are easy to effortlessly absorb.

 I highly recommend these unique CDs for psychologists and their clients.”

 

 Naturally Make Stress And Insomnia A Thing Of The Past! 

In today's fast-paced world, many people assume that stress is just a fact of life. Stress speeds up aging and can lead to heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, and an early death. People who handle stress well are happier and live longer. People who accept growing old as a “natural process” tend to age faster and die sooner.

The problem isn’t stress but coping skills in handling stress. Some people are “stressed out” by breaking a nail or having someone cut in front of them in traffic. Contrast that with one of my favorite youthful role models, Art Linkletter. He is in his nineties. He finds his very busy speaking, writing, and business career invigorating rather than stressful.

Many people get stressed out simply because they do not have any other way of coping with the routine hassles and pressures of daily life.

It doesn't have to be that way.

My Reverse Aging CDs help teach your mind to look at the world differently. You'll learn to relax and take things in stride. Best of all, you don't even need to be awake for these messages to help you feel younger and handle stress better.

Got insomnia? The CDs are great for helping you get to sleep. Bedtime is an ideal time for listening as it lets the ideas resonate all night long and helps make your dreams more positive.

Listen to them as you fall asleep, and then wake up with a better, healthier attitude and enhanced skills at stress busting. You'll find that as you handle stress better, your body will take better care of itself. Your doctor may tell you that you seem years younger!

 

 My System Will Teach You The ABCs Of Agelessness!

People sometimes ask me, “How it is possible to reverse aging?” If you were 100 pounds overweight and out of shape, your doctor might tell you that you have the body of someone 20 years older than your age. If you lost the weight and got real fit, your doctor might tell you that you have the body of someone years younger than your age.

Learning your Anti-Aging ABCs is so much easier than losing weight and getting physically fit. As Art Linkletter put it when her endorsed 52 baby steps to Grow Young, “You can’t turn back the clock but you can rewind it.”

Research comparing identical twins and fraternal twins found that only 30% of their longevity was genetic. That means that 70% is thinking and lifestyle!

When you use my system, you will learn the key ABCs for defeating the so-called, “natural” aging process:

Attitudes – 4 key attitudes for staying youthful

Beliefs – 36 beliefs that help you think and be more youthful

Coping Skills – 4 key coping skills in dealing with purpose, intimacy, change, and loss

Don't Ever Waste Money On Pills, Powders

Or Magic Formulas Again!  

If you listen to most people, you'd think that beating back the aging process is a matter of finding a secret potion or voodoo.

Everyone seems to have a different vitamin or herb that will help them look and feel younger. Or, they swear by plastic surgery, Botox or impossible-to-follow diets.

But you don't have to waste your time, money or energy on any of these media-created snake oils.

Looking and feeling young is not about getting tighter buns in 30 days or having poison shot into your face. It's about how you think and feel, and how you present yourself to the rest of the world.

That's why these CDs will start to work with your body and mind naturally, to quickly and easily stop and reverse the aging process – until you become the vital, active person you know you want to be!

 

In Addition To These Great CDs
You Also Get A Full Suite Of Powerful Products
