This book reveals a stunning thread of scientific data that points the way to the natural anabolic state-a biochemical condition wherein body fat is metabolized, muscle tissue is built, and the mind and body perform at peak efficiency. This is groundbreaking science, but it is written in everyday language that all readers will enjoy. This book is a must-read for athletes and coaches in every sport, students and teachers at every level, people of faith, people seeking faith, and anyone competing for success. As you read this book, you will learn the simple thought that can instantly alter blood chemistry and enhance performance in students taking the GRE and athletes in all sports. You will also learn why certain human character traits help sustain a healthy anabolic blood chemistry while others lead to an unhealthy catabolic blood chemistry. When preparing to write this book, Dr. Alston reviewed hundreds of studies and found an amazing trail of scientific data. As he began connecting the dots, he found a powerful connectivity between certain studies which were not intentionally connected. It was at that point that Dr. Alston realized that he had discovered the keys to the natural anabolic state! When closing the third chapter of the book, Dr. Alston wrote, "So, there you have it: Key One-the Key to Immediate Anabolic Empowerment. It's hard to express how much I wish I had possessed this key in my youth. Had I known what power my thoughts could have, I would have been a much better athlete, student, boy, and man." (Page 59) As you read this book, you will understand why Dr. Alston wished he'd known its secrets earlier in his life, and we believe every reader will feel the same way. Regardless of your stage in life, we believe this book will make you healthier, happier, and better at everything you do.
