review: Editorial Reviews Review "Delgado has given one of the best synthesis of cutting edge research on aging, nutrition and hormonal supplementation currently available." -- Art Levine, Contributing Editor, U.S. News & World Report About the Author Nicholas R. Delgado, Jr., Ph.D., is the Director of Healthy Studios Inc. After graduating from the University of Southern California (U.S.C.) with a BA degree in Psychology, he began his postgraduate studies in Physical Therapy at U.S.C. Rancho Los Amigos Hospital, followed by volunteer work at Daniel Freeman Hospital and Chino Hospital. Through his experiences in physical therapy, Nick Delgado became deeply concerned by the large numbers of people dying from such degenerative diseases as heart disease, stroke, diabetes and cancer. Nick was motivated to undertake in-depth postgraduate studies in nutrition at Cal State Los Angeles and Cal State Long Beach University. He also spent years studying medical journals at U.S.C. and U.C. Irvine in his search for solutions to degenerative diseases. In 1982, Loma Linda University offered a Masters leading to a Doctorate program in Health Science and Delgado was accepted as a Doctoral candidate. Loma Linda School of Public Health was founded by Christians who followed the vegetarian type diet described in the bible that is free of meat and dairy products. They were motivated to do research based on holistic nutrition and exercise. In 1993, Nick was accepted to do independent research under academic guidance at the American Holistic College of Nutrition. Doctor Nick Delgado completed his Ph.D. thesis by doing a study on 693 people in a wellness program provided at seminars with Tony Robbins. Nick received his Ph.D. in Health Science. He began to apply what he was learning to his medical problems of obesity and high blood pressure. After just five months Nick reduced 50 lb. of body fat, and lowered his blood pressure (from 200/90 to 110/70) and was able to get off blood pressure medications. Nick has maintained optimum health for over 20 years and at the age of 42 he competed in an intense strength and endurance test in Kona, Hawaii and set a record at that time against all participants of any age. Nick then developed his highly successful nutrition, exercise, motivation and stress management program (forerunner to today's Healthy Aging Plan). In 1979, Nick became the Director of the Pritikin Better Health Program studying with the famous research scientist, Nathan Pritikin. Nathan Pritikin taught Nick Delgado to sift through the misinformation and take complex medical journals and make it easy for everyone to understand them. Nick teamed up with health experts and looked for consistent themes of aging and disease and came up with new answers to these age-old problems. Nick studied with Nathan Pritikin at the Longevity Center for three years, during and after this period he met and studied with many world-renowned scientists, including Denis Burkitt, MD, Ernest Wynder, MD, Arnold Fox MD, Julian Whitiker MD, and Ronald Klatz MD. Later that year, Nick became involved with creating a wellness program centered in hospitals and with medical groups. In December, 1982, Nick began education and medical services in Southern California. Nick Delgado puts on dynamic seminars and refers to counseling services with anti-aging doctors and highly trained professionals. The Healthy Aging plan has enabled thousands of participants to feel better and become renewed. In all, Nick has presented over 20 years: 3,500 seminars at medical clinics, hospitals, community centers and large corporations including Aerospace and TRW. In 1992 to 1997 he set up and provided wellness testing using live blood cell hematology, oxidative stress analysis, carotid artery scans, blood lipids, biochemical hormones and seminars for over 10,000 participants with Tony Robbins Mastery University. Nick is now considered one of the leading wellness advocates in the nation. In 1998, Nick and his partner Shawna began a national education program on talk radio CBS's KLSX 97.1 FM, and on KKLA 99.5 FM called Health & Wealth to share his incredible discoveries with those wanting more out of life. Nick has appeared on over 1,000 radio and TV talk shows. Nick did undergraduate work at the Academy of Fine Arts, USC, well know for turning out great producers, directors of media, and he completed studies in Psychology. His ability to answer live questions on the air with compassion, demonstrates his uncanny understanding of human needs, emotion and the will to survive and achieve. His charismatic personality, healthy appearance and contagious energy invites people to purse the healthy aging program with passion.
