About the author: 

Michael Hogg is a serial entrepreneur with a global track record of success across a number of industries. 

A New Zealander, who has travelled and lived in Sydney, Perth, Manila, Bali, London, and Singapore, is now based between Dubai and LA. 

As well as an accomplished business man he is the proud loving father of 2 daughters.

	One Man’s Journey of Contradiction; After he turned 40, Michael Hogg, a global CEO running a billion dollar enterprise didn’t like what mother nature was doing to him. So he decided to give her a run for her money and tackle the ageing process head on. 10 years later and after a huge amount of research and experimentation on himself, he cracked the code and decided to tell his story.

This inspirational book is for any man who is feeling the effects of ageing. Through his personal journey and the contributions of leading experts Michael reveals how you can turn back the clock to look and feel years (10-15) younger.

48, drinking heavily and depressed, his marriage in tatters and his career in shreds, Michael had lost his way. Determined to make a fresh start, he set out on a personal journey to recapture his lost youth and vitality. Already a keen advocate of anti-ageing medicine, he made it his mission to sample every anti-ageing treatment known to man from human growth hormone and testosterone replacement therapy through to smart drugs and Pilates.

The journey has paid off as independent tests show that although he is now 53, Michael’s medical age and vital signs are that of a 30 to 35 year old.

Michael has discovered a renewed zest for life and energy that he hadn’t known since his 20s, and in telling his story he hopes men like him will be inspired to take charge of their own health and vitality, whatever their age.  Michael decided to pursue his passion in anti-ageing even further and is starting up Gen-a – a range of agenostic health solutions for men. See www.genagenostic.com for more information.

He will show you how to lose weight, build lean muscle mass, sharpen your mental agility, improve your sleep, boost your mood and energy, improve your relationships at home and work AND increase your sex drive and quality of your sex life.

 “We know that getting older is inevitable, but ageing for the age-nostic man is optional” – Dr. Robert Goldman, M.D., anti-ageing expert and bestselling author.

Practical, funny and downright honest, this is a bible that will show you ageing gracefully is no longer an option – ageing magnificently is a must…….

The Peter Pan Man

Hello and welcome!

Hi there! Welcome to my first blog, and hopefully it will spur your interest enough to read my new book, The Agenostic Man “the secrets to anti ageing for men”. A little more than a year ago I would never have dreamt of writing a book, let alone finish and publish one. I am sure it is no literary piece of brilliance, but I think it is at least honest and revealing in what is now available to men everywhere.

It is about men and the struggle men face with the ageing process, but it is not just written for men, it is written for women also. Women who bear most of the consequences of the so-called "mid-life crisis" that effects almost all men, as they face up to the process of simply getting old.

The so-called fountain of youth is one of histories oldest stories and human beings have been trying to find the answer to it since time immemorial.

My story is simply one of refusing to follow the path that was set out for me by society. "Grow up" is a term we all here constantly as we grow up, until we reach our 40's and we are so grown up that we forget everything that made us get to that point of no return. We forget the child in us and we lose our sense of adventure and we tip over into a downward spiral that has little joy and little alternative.

Today there are solutions and alternatives that can dramatically reverse and slow the ageing process. All are outlined in the Agenostic man and all I have chosen to do myself and I have enjoyed and continue to enjoy the benefits.

Some of them may be considered radical, reckless and unproven and that is exactly how life should be and I will receive criticism from many quarters for suggesting and outlining what I have chosen to do.

Hormone replacement, copious vitamins, sleep placenta injections, intravenous drips etc,etc it all sounds a little daunting and even frightening. My story is very much about my own experiences, from a base of no knowledge at all to a point where I felt I could share what I have experienced with other men.

In the end it's all about personal choice and that’s all I am trying to achieve by writing this book and writing this blog; the reader can choose any path available, for my part I simply want to offer an alternative to the status quo of how we are supposed to age as Men.

Why just Men, well for one thing I am one and I have experienced the downside of reaching 40 and wondering what was really ahead, clearly I didn’t like what I saw around me and decided a different path.

I have talked about my own battle with depression, addiction and life’s disappointments and heartbreaks but in the end the book I think is one of hope. I was recently interviewed by a major newspaper, The Sunday Times in London and was asked if I was just scared of dying I answered by saying that I was not but I was scared of the journey of slow decline towards that inevitable end. That I will not accept

Today at 53 I am in better shape, in every way than I ever was at 30 I see an exciting future where most Men my age are only seeing problems and roadblocks I have the energy and health now to tackle my life in my 50's as if I was still in my 20's but I have some experience to possibly better handle them.

Over the coming months I will outline as much as I can my personal experiences, many not outlined in the book and more importantly, what is coming in the next 20 years that is going to revolutionize the aging process for all of us, not just men.

I cannot wait to try any new treatment that comes my way and there are many available right now, especially in the area of stem cell research.

I was described as Peter Pan in a recent interview and that suits me just fine because it describes how I see life today, full of new experiences, opportunities and adventures as I continue to live the Agenostic lifestyle.

Enjoy and remember it has nothing to do about looking good it's simply about feeling great.
