Dr. Life or Dr. Noooooo




Have you seen this guy’s ad in airline magazines?  He claims he changed his lifestyle and got the body of a 20 year old while in his 60’s.  I’m skeptical. So I look at the before and after photo and my first reaction is, “Come on…they photo shopped his head on that body!  No way [...]
