10 Reasons You Feel Old and Get Fat

By: Leo Galland M.D.

Narrated by: Frank Lipman Md

Like most people in our society, you might see the years from the age 3 onward as a slow, painful decline marked by the following outcomes: weight gain, fatigue, mysterious aches and pains, illnesses, memory issues, low libido, and sadness and anxiety. But contrary to popular belief, the real obstacle for most of us isn't age-it's loss of function. Our bodies are perfectly capable of remaining slim and vigorous, and our brains can absolutely stay clear and sharp-if we give them what they need.The problem is that most of us don't do that. We don't realize what our bodies need, so we eat the wrong foods, skimp on sleep, and deprive our bodies of the movement they crave. Overwhelmed by the stresses and the pressures of our lives, we take a host of prescriptions, never realizing how they might be disrupting our body's innate ability to heal. Most insidious of all, many of us lack the personal support and the community that we need to feel fully alive. Instead, we buy into the myth that age means decline. A pioneer and internationally recognized expert in integrative and functional medicine, Dr. Frank Lipman proves that you don't have to feel this way. You have a choice! In his latest book, Dr. Lipman breaks through the common myths and misconceptions surrounding aging and dieting, and he zeroes in on what you need to do in order to feel your very best. His two-week Revitalize Program brings together key information regarding insulin resistance and carbohydrate intolerance, gut and hormonal imbalances, sleep disorders, medications and supplements, and community support. The Revitalize Program features delicious recipes, handy shopping lists and meal plans, simple exercises, and powerful stress busters to support you along the way. Dr. Lipman also offers a lifelong Maintenance Program, so that after two life-changing weeks, you can continue on your path toward ultimate health and wellness! In just two weeks-only 14 days-you can feel so much better than you ever imagined!

loved it

I really liked that he narrated his own book. although my husband and I could not help but giggle some over the pronunciations of certain words as opposed to American English. It just makes it connect so much more when the author is reading to you seems so much more personal. I listen to or read many many low carb or keto or paleo books and each one has a slightly different angle and I learn new things from them. He focused a lot on the gut and helpful supplements which I don't usually hear in my kind of books. I would go see him as a patient if he were in my city!

So inspiring!

I loved this book! So much great info and it was presented in an interesting way- not just dry content. I feel like there is hope for me- maybe it’s not ‘over’! I totally disagree with reviewer who says Dr.Lipman is just pushing products. He mentioned once at the end of the book that he had products available- while also mentioning what you could use instead if you did not want to purchase. Also great resources included with book for a diet and exercise program. Highly recommend this book!
