Colgan's books cover several areas including nutrition for strength and muscular development, nutrional strategies and methods to slow the aging process, and nutrional methods to prevent disease. As Colgan's life developed it became evident that the individuals' lives he had assisted and supported succeeded in ways that went beyond nutritional advancement or athletics and health. His growing interest in the untapped potential of the human mind and heart became self evident both in his own works and those whose lives he touched.
