Synopsis

A straightforward, sustainable plan for healthy living and longevity—Prevent and reverse disease and transform the way you eat, sleep, move, and feel, from an acclaimed international doctor, functional medicine leader, and host of the popular podcast Feel Better, Live More

How to Make Disease Disappear is Dr. Rangan Chatterjee’s revolutionary, yet simple guide to better health—a much-needed, accessible plan that will help you take back control of your health and your life. Chatterjee, also star of the BBC program Doctor in the House and internationally bestselling author of The 4 Pillar Plan, draws on cutting edge research and his own experiences as physician to prove that the secret to preventing disease and achieving wellness revolves around four critical pillars: food, relaxation, sleep, and movement. By making small, incremental changes in each of these key areas, you can create and maintain good health—and alleviate and prevent illness. As Dr. Chatterjee, reveals we can reverse and make disease disappear without a complete overhaul of our lifestyle.

His dynamic, user-friendly approach is not about excelling at any one pillar. What matters is balance in every area of your life, which includes:

• Living mindfully: Embracing presence and gratitude practices—including taking some “me-time” every day and an electronic and device-free Sabbath once a week
• Transforming your diet: Change the way you eat specifically for your body and its individual needs—and the magic of retraining your taste buds and implementing daily micro-fasts
• Getting moving: Enjoy the life-altering method known as movement snacking—short bursts of physical activity that break up boring routines and alter our overall health and fitness
• Sleep—and think—better: Optimized your bedtime routine not only for sleep and relaxation, but also to improve brain health and cognition and alleviate stress, anxiety, and burnout

A physician dedicated to finding the root cause of ill health rather than simply suppressing symptoms with drugs, Dr. Chatterjee passionately advocates and follows a philosophy that lifestyle and nutrition are first-line medicine and the cornerstone of good health—and shows us the path forward. Practical and life-changing, How to Make Disease Disappear is an inspiring and easy-to-follow guide to overall health well-being—your journey begins today!

From the Back Cover

In How to Make Disease Disappear, Dr. Rangan Chatterjee presents a radically simple plan for taking control of your health and your life.

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.
