Description: "Dr. Rangan Chatterjee presents a radically simple plan for taking control of your health and your lite. Chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, depression and dementia are today the nation's leading causes of death and disability. Half of all American adults currently suffer with a chronic disease, with one in four people suffering from two or more. Despite the statistics, so much confusion exists about what we can do to protect ourselves and live long, healthy lives. Acclaimed functional medicine doctor Rangan Chatterjee writes, "The good news is that I can make these diseases disappear. That's right. This probably sounds like an extraordinary claim, but the reason I can make them disappear is that they're an illusion. These diseases are not the inevitable result of aging. They are not simply our genetic fate or our destiny. We do not have to suffer needlessly. The truth is these diseases don't really exist, at least not in the way we think they do." A life free of disease revolves around Dr. Chatterjee's four pillars: relaxation, food, sleep and movement. By making small, achievable changes in each of these key areas, you can create and maintain good health--and, most importantly, avoid and reverse illness. Based on cutting-edge research and fascinating case studies from real patients, How to Make Disease Disappear is a practical and revolutionary path to avoiding disease and embracing the health we all deserve."--Dust jacket.
