Summary

National best seller

Fight cancer, diabetes, heart disease, weight gain, and even the aging process itself with one simple, scientifically proven plan to reverse disease - as well as prevent and reduce symptoms - from the world-renowned pioneer of lifestyle medicine.

Dean Ornish, MD, has directed revolutionary research proving, for the first time, that lifestyle changes can often reverse - undo! - the progression of many of the most common and costly chronic diseases and even begin reversing aging at a cellular level.

Medicare and many insurance companies now cover Dr. Ornish’s lifestyle medicine program for reversing chronic disease 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 research published in the leading peer-reviewed medical and scientific journals.

Now, in this landmark audiobook, 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. The “Ornish diet” has been rated “#1 for Heart Health” by U.S. News & World Report every year from 2011 to 2017. 
  • Move more: moderate exercise such as walking
  • Stress less: including meditation and gentle yoga practices
  • Love more: how love and intimacy transform loneliness into healing

With 70 recipes, easy-to-follow meal plans, tips for stocking your kitchen and eating out, recommended exercises, stress-reduction advice, and inspiring patient stories of life-transforming benefits - for example, several people improved so much after only nine weeks that they were able to avoid a heart transplant - Undo It! empowers listeners with new hope and new choices.

“The Ornishes’ work is elegant and simple and deserving of a Nobel Prize, since it can change the world!” (Richard Carmona, MD, MPH, FACS, 17th Surgeon General of the United States)

“If you want to see what medicine will be like ten years from now, read this book today.” (Rita F. Redberg, MD, editor in chief, JAMA Internal Medicine)

“This is one of the most important books on health ever written.” (John Mackey, CEO, Whole Foods Market)

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Good but way too commercial ref. Ornish Clinics

First half of book useful and second half would be also if it wasn’t so heavily Ornish clinic attendance biased - maybe a USA audience is used to commercial adverts? Many positive attributes to book and enjoyed 2/3 of it. Easy to grasp in one sitting. Detailed nutrition isn’t covered but other books do this extremely well - this covers many other influences so it’s more broad and introductory in nature.

Excellent read

I have read many books on the subject of a Whole Plant Based Diet by Barnard, McGregor, Popper, Ferman and McDougal and none of them come close to the Ornishes book, I truly place this up there with the teachings and science of Dr's Esseylstyn and Colin T Campbell.

Well read by the husband and wife (OK a little "flowery" at some points) but at least they have botherd like Esselstyn and Campbell to carry out their own research to support their belifs in a better future for all. For me it has all been about lifestyle change to promote longevity and this is a great bible to live by, weight loss to me was a side effect and not my aim (84.1 > 65kg).

Take your time absorb the facts and move forward to a better life without starving yourself to get there 😉👍

Good solid advice - pdf not complete

Good solid advice. Not new, but scientifically backed up. The book claimed that the pdf contains images of the stretches, but I couldn't find any,

a better approach.

Be aware that this book does not tell you how to fully implement the programe, but about the component parts. it suggests you join one of the running groups. having said that it is very informative on the different aspects...
