Meet the Author: Rocco Monto, M. D. 

THE FOUNTAIN: A Doctor's Prescription to Make 60 the New 30 is the first book to present a sensible, comprehensive, and scientifically-based approach to aging that includes the diet, supplements, exercise, mental training, and new medications to help us all live longer, happier, healthier, and more productive lives. Written by a top national health expert and media pundit, board certified orthopedic surgeon Rocco Monto, M.D., and with a foreword by Bill Maher of HBO's Real Time, it explains why we age so poorly now and how the latest breakthroughs in the science and medicine can help change this.

Blending fascinating stories with new research findings, illustrations, infographics, and exclusive interviews, it will educate the reader on how aging really works and provide practical ways to hack the system. It will debunk long-held diet and fitness myths while highlighting safe, effective therapies backed by cutting edge research. Interlacing the clinical with the cultural, this reference is as entertaining as it is helpful.

A compass to navigate life’s challenges, THE FOUNTAIN brings a satisfying and meaningful approach to living for readers of all ages. Dr. Monto’s common sense, actionable advice, biting humor, and savvy insight make him a trusted source for medical facts and a media favorite.
