Synopsis

“J. Michael Zenn has written a wonderful book on health….We need to wholeheartedly embrace the principles of The Self-Health Revolution. I enthusiastically recommend this book.” (John Mackey, cofounder and co-CEO of Whole Foods Market)

Newly revised and updated, this electrifying guide has been praised by doctors, health experts, and readers who have taken their own self-health challenge. Describing himself as “an ordinary guy who discovered an extraordinary secret,” which he now feels compelled to share with everyone, J. Michael Zenn completely changed his own life when he began a quest to get healthy. With some simple but profound improvements to his diet and everyday habits, Zenn lost fifty pounds and six inches off his waist and—within just a few months—felt and looked younger than he had in two decades. So he quit his job and spent a year reading 200 books and interviewing experts in order to write about the powerful message he calls “the self-health revolution.”

In this inspiring book, Zenn reveals:

• The hidden ingredient in our food that makes us fat

• The Tsunami of Diabesity (obesity + diabetes) that threatens our health, our health-care system, and our economy

• Three simple things you can do to get fit and stay thin

• A forgotten remedy that can get rid of your aches and pains

• One thing you can do now to help extend your life

• The little-known reason most people feel tired and run down

• How unhappiness and stress can take years off your life

• The Number 3 killer that nobody wants to talk about

• A cure that your doctor may not know about or can’t tell you

Now you can join the revolution of self-health throughout America. Take the 10-day challenge. You’ll lose weight, keep it off, feel better, and have more energy than you thought possible.

About the Author

J. Michael Zenn describes himself as “an ordinary guy who discovered an extraordinary secret” that he now feels compelled to share with everyone.

Reviews

Reading The Self-Health Revolution feels a lot like watching an infomercial. The “product” is good health and longer life. The pitchman is zealous, entertaining, and even overdramatic. The price is surprisingly reasonable. Start with subtraction: eat less. Steer clear of “fake foods” and toxins. Be wary of too much reliance on prescription medications. Don’t assume regulatory organizations (such as the FDA and EPA) or industry know it all. Next, improve the quality of your water, food, and air. Author Zenn is an Everyman who has experienced an epiphany about well-being. Zenn’s path to a healthier life begins with a 10-day trial plan: consume five superfoods (fruits, vegetables, probiotics, enzymes, and oils) every day. Drink plenty of pure water. Breathe deeply. Exercise at least 15 minutes a day. Get a minimum of seven hours of restful sleep daily. Practice gratitude, and embrace forgiveness. Zenn’s mantra—“The power of prevention lies in the choices we make”—rings true. Ultimately, no one cares about you as much as you do. --Tony Miksanek
