About this listen

 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • By the pioneer of lifestyle medicine, a simple, scientifically program proven to often reverse the progression of the most common and costly chronic diseases.

Long rated “#1 for Heart Health” by U.S. News & World Report, Dr. Ornish’s Program has recently been shown to often improve cognition and function in patients with early-stage Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Ornish’s program for reversing heart disease is now covered by Medicare when offered virtually at home.

“The Ornishes’ work is elegant and simple and deserving of a Nobel Prize since it can change the world!”—Richard Carmona, MD, MPH, 17th Surgeon General of the U.S.

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 and costly chronic diseases.

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 over forty years of research published in the leading peer-reviewed medical and scientific journals.

Now, 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
• 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 seventy 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 they were able to avoid a heart transplant—Undo It! empowers readers with new hope and new choices.

Anne talks about the exercise tables in the PDF but I can’t find them. Just food information. She ‘reads’ the description of the exercises with the bands but that’s pretty useless without a visual.

Overall, I did get a fair bit of info from this book but I feel it contradicts other info from authors such as Dr Michael Greger. I thought these guys were on the same page as each other. So now I’m a bit confused.

I found a lot of Anne’s narrative boring - especially the part where she goes on about what to eat when out and the questions to ask the restaurants. Honestly, I think most restaurants would tell you to take a hike if you went in asking all those questions and making the demands she suggests. Seriously, just eat at home if it’s such an issue.

The sections were Dean was reading was OK, but I could not stand Annes voice and the bits she was given to read were extremely boring. if I could handle listening to her for more than five minutes then I was bored in five minutes and 1 second.

Don't bother

I have really enjoyed this book but I noticed not all the information is in the downloadable PDF as it should be. During the book they reference the PDF for certain things and I noticed they weren’t there. For this reason I think it would be better to own the book for all of the imagery and ensuring you get the complete experience from the book.
