National Bestseller

Fight cancer, diabetes, heart disease, weight gain, and even the ageing process itself with one simple, scientifically proven plan to actually reverse disease—as well as prevent and reduce symptoms—from the world-renowned pioneer of lifestyle medicine.

By the pioneer of lifestyle medicine, a simple, scientifically proven programme often reverses 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 programme has recently been shown to often improve cognition and function in patients with early-stage Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Ornish's programme 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 programme 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 flavour
  • 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.
