Always seek medical advice before making any lifestyle changes. UNDO IT! How Simple Lifestyle Changes Can Reverse Most Chronic Diseases The Paperback version of the bestselling book UnDo It! will be released on January 4, 2022. You can pre-order here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0525480021?ref=exp_chefaj_dp_vv_d Dean Ornish, M.D. is highly regarded as “The Father of Lifestyle Medicine,” which is the fastest-growing trend in medicine today. His latest national bestselling book, UNDO IT! How Simple Lifestyle Changes Can Reverse Most Chronic Diseases, will publish in paperback on January 4, 2022, the same day of this announcement from a panel of nutrition experts convened by U.S. News. Dr. Ornish is available for in-studio and Zoom interviews to discuss the powerful impact simple lifestyle changes can have in our health and wellness. For more than four decades, Dean Ornish, M.D. has directed revolutionary research proving, for the first time, that lifestyle changes can often reverse—undo!—the progression of many of the most common, costly, and disabling chronic diseases and even begin reversing aging at a cellular level. This often occurs in just a few weeks or less—and at any age. Medicare and many insurance companies are now covering Dr. Ornish’s lifestyle medicine program for reversing chronic diseases because it consistently achieves bigger changes in lifestyle, better clinical outcomes, larger cost savings, and greater adherence than have ever been reported—based on 40 years of clinical research published in the leading peer-reviewed medical and scientific journals. In this landmark book, he and Anne Ornish present a simple yet powerful new unifying theory explaining why these same lifestyle changes can reverse so many different chronic diseases and how quickly these benefits occur. They describe what it is, why it works, and how you can do it: Eat well: a whole foods, plant-based diet naturally low in fat and sugar and high in flavor—primarily fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and soy products in their natural, unprocessed forms. The “Ornish Diet” has been consistently rated “#1 for Heart Health” by U.S. News & World Report every year since 2011. Move more: moderate exercise such as walking and strength training. Do what you enjoy—if you like it, you’ll do it. Stress less: techniques such as meditation and gentle yoga that can enable you to do more and stress less.

Day 5 The NEW Holistic Approach To Cancer Anxiety That Changes Everything

Disclaimer: This podcast does not provide medical advice. The content of this podcast is provided for informational or educational purposes only. It is not intended to be a substitute for informed medical advice or care. You should not use this information to diagnose or treat any health issue without consulting your doctor. Always seek medical advice before making any lifestyle changes. Marc Velez is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine who has nearly 20 years of experience helping people understand their bodies and rediscover their health. By honoring the ancient wisdom of Chinese medicine while incorporating modern breakthroughs in contemporary wellness medicine, Dr. Marc practices a truly integrative form of natural medicine that seeks to restore harmony to the body and mind. Dr. Marc began his journey into Chinese medicine in his late teens, growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area. Having parents who both suffered from autoimmune disease and the iatrogenic effects of the medical treatments used at that time, he felt a deep calling to discover a better way to treat disease. Rather than focusing on disease as an enemy to be conquered, Dr. Marc came to understand the symptoms of illness as messages spoken by the voice of the body - sometimes whispering, while at other times shouting to get our attention - and ultimately concluded that the highest form of medicine is one that seeks to prevent the occurrence of disease, followed by gently correcting imbalances to restore the body's righteous function. These conclusions were proven repeatedly over the years of practice that followed. Using a unique blend of Eastern and Western medicine approaches, he has successfully restored health to hundreds of patients - correcting digestive problems, curing migraine headaches, soothing anxiety, and putting Type II diabetes and chronic kidney disease into remission. Dr. Marc continues to devote his life's work to the luminous emergence of the human spirit as it manifests through the physical, mental, and spiritual.

How To Thrive In 2025 Q&A With Dr. Doug Lisle - Making And Keeping Your New Year's' Resolutions

Disclaimer: This podcast does not provide medical advice. The content of this podcast is provided for informational or educational purposes only. It is not intended to be a substitute for informed medical advice or care. You should not use this information to diagnose or treat any health issue without consulting your doctor. Always seek medical advice before making any lifestyle changes. Dr. Douglas J. Lisle, Ph.D.is the co-author of The Pleasure Trap available here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1570671974?tag=onamzchefajsh-20&linkCode=ssc&creativeASIN=1570671974&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.1GNPDCAG4A86S Dr. Doug Lisle is an evolutionary psychologist and co-author of The Pleasure Trap: Mastering the Hidden Force that Undermines Health and Happiness. He and his colleagues (Jennifer Howk and Richard Seidel) have developed a revolutionary method for approaching life challenges and improving self-confidence and self-esteem. They describe their approach as Esteem Dynamics — an approach with clinical insights derived from evolutionary psychology. Central figures having major influence on the development of Esteem Dynamics include Richard Dawkins, John Tooby and Leda Cosmides, David Buss, Robert Trivers, Steven Pinker, and Geoffrey Miller. All of these individuals are considered world-leading theorists in evolutionary theory and human psychology. Somewhat surprisingly, insights from these trailblazers has yet to reach mainstream clinical psychology, and thus major advances stemming from some of the world’s greatest thinkers have yet to be systematically applied to problems of helping people improve their lives. Esteem Dynamics is the first such effort, and weds Dr. Lisle’s 30-years of clinical experience to the deep insights into human nature only recently available via evolutionary psychology. Dr. Lisle received his undergraduate education from the University of California, San Diego. He completed his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at the University of Virginia, and was then appointed Lecturer in Psychology at Stanford University. His research and clinical interests include health and wellness, self-esteem, relationship satisfaction, the treatment of anxiety and depression, the genetics of individual differences, and optimizing achievement motivation. In addition to his work with Esteem Dynamics, Dr. Lisle lectures widely on health and wellness. Dr Lisle is available at selected days and times for a one-to-one, personal phone consultation: https://drdouglisle.as.me/schedule.php
