Good health and long life are the universal desires of most human beings. In Healthspan, the new book from Healthspirit Press, Dr. Jack Woodard and Genevieve Johnson Woodard draw on their life-long experience to tell how to attain that goal. Using a holistic framework, the authors take readers step by step along the path to claiming our dual birthright: glowing health and a one hundred year life span.

We all wish to reach the ideal state of physical, mental and spiritual well-being. Jack and Genevieve have combined their experience and insight in a book that can help us to begin the year 2000 by truly making those changes in our lives, which we have long desired to achieve--to live fully, to create a new lifestyle, to open up our hearts and minds to ideas which can illuminate a new path, based on sound scientific principles, clinical experience, spiritual perspectives, and a deep sense of the long history of medicine. The book is both a practical guide to fulfillment of humankind's desire to live long and happy lives, and a philosophical over-view of those same needs, and the power they have to open doors for us in a holistic framework of healing.
