Your Plan for a Balanced Life provides real-world strategies that equip you to start making choices to achieve the balanced life most of us only dream of. Most people work too much, eat the wrong foods, sleep too little, and don't exercise. They are overweight, tired, and out of balance. Dr. Rippe understands the challenges of daily life and provides practical strategies in Your Plan for a Balanced Life that allow each person to start making simple, daily choices that will result in a life of healthy balance. The groundbreaking program introduced in this book is based on the FDA's MyPyramid Program and a new Wellness Pyramid developed by the Rippe Lifestyle Institute. Created by cardiologist and lifestyle medicine specialist James Rippe, MD, the Balanced Life Index is a scientifically proven test used to measure your success based on the three major components: Nutrition, Activity, and Wellness. It assesses where you are and shows where you can be.

Two physicians unveil a revolutionary, accessible, science-based, patient-centered program for living an active, age-defying, disease-free life. Healthcare is pulled and shaped by many forces, by drug and insurance companies looking for profits, by politicians in search of votes, and by stressed, overworked physicians who barely have time to talk to you before writing a prescription or packing you off to a specialist. So is anyone interested in keeping you well? Yes. Created by two physicians who both survived catastrophic illness, the Ultraprevention program will work for absolutely everyone -- old, young, healthy, sick, or somewhere in between. The promise of its practice is huge -- a health span that matches life span -- and you'll experience increased energy, weight loss, enhanced mood and memory, better digestion, deeper sleep, diminished stress, and more. Ultraprevention is the new science of staying healthy, an innovative program that shatters the myths of today's "fix-the-broken-parts" medicine. These myths -- drugs cure disease, genes determine your fate, getting older means aging, fat is a four-letter word -- are actually believed by many doctors and are keeping you sick. Ardent general practitioners, Drs. Hyman and Liponis reject the current healthcare system of specialists paid to find something wrong, specialists who don't consider how their "cure" for one ailment affects the entire body. Working outside the managed care model at Canyon Ranch in the Berkshires, Hyman and Liponis break free of the vicious quick-fix prescription cycle and formulate a program that identifies and eliminates the cause of disease instead of just masking symptoms. Isolating the source of more than 90 percent of today's most common diseases, from cancer and heart disease to diabetes, stroke, and Alzheimer's, they enumerate the Five Forces of Illness -- Sludge (malnutrition), Burnout (impaired metabolism), Heat (inflammation), Waste (impaired detoxification), and Rust (oxidative stress). Through the practice of the six-week Ultraprevention program, you'll learn three simple steps -- each only two weeks long -- that stop these forces and create a lifetime of good health by removing allergens, infections, and toxins from the body and environment; repairing the body through personalizing nutrition, boosting the immune system, and balancing hormones; and recharging with stress management, sleep restoration, and gentle movement. So stop falling for the myths that make you sick and start Ultraprevention, the powerful plan to get older without aging, to maintain health for all of life.

Alain Espinosa, Belleville, NJ ------------------------------------------------------- Anti Inflammatory Diet Relieves Symptoms of Chronic Disease In Weeks Without the Danger of Drugs Are you tired of fighting the symptoms of the #1 killer, heart disease? Or the symptoms of the most feared disease, cancer? Or how about the disease which has become a major concern in America, dementia? What about the multitude of other chronic diseases such as arthritis, allergies, asthma, diabetes, and obesity? Then there are the symptoms of aging as well as other every-day aches and pains. Fortunately, a simple shift to an anti inflammatory diet can provide an answer to these maladies that does not involve the use of pharmaceutical drugs. Sounds too good to be true? Sounds like "snake oil?" Well, quite the contrary! There is a growing body of strong research linking low-grade inflammation in the body with all, and more, of the health challenges mentioned above. Indeed, there are a growing number of widely respected health care professionals acknowledging this connection, and more and more "how to" books are becoming available touting the effectiveness of switching to an anti inflammation diet (aka anti inflammatory diet). This book is not one of those "how to" books. Rather it is a diary or journal written by the well-known wellness coach, Sharon Graham, as she and her husband set out on a four-week journey to switch their already healthy eating habits to consuming nothing but anti inflammatory foods. Follow this couple as the author outlines her plan, lists the foods within the plan, and provides a day-by-day, meal-by-meal description (often with photos) of what they ate and the benefits they observed along the way.

If you're struggling with stubborn excess weight and have ruled out your thyroid as the cause, consider the possibility of adrenal fatigue. Your adrenals help you cope with stress, but if you're susceptible, the adrenal glands can start to weaken. Symptoms of adrenal fatigue include salt cravings, low blood pressure, low energy, unexplained weight gain, insomnia, and muscle weakness. My symptoms began in late 2004. I went to several doctors, but found no help or relief. I tried all the major diets with no success. I used the standard high intensity exercise plans, but they left me frustrated, exhausted, and even more overweight. There are good books on cortisol overload and adrenal recovery. However, I couldn't find a plan that worked for weight loss and maintenance with my adrenal fatigue condition. I set out on a journey to find a new lifestyle adapted to my adrenal fatigue condition. Through lots of trial and error, I developed a lifestyle plan that helped me manage my symptoms and lose 30 lbs without prescription medication or stimulants. It's a long-term plan, not a short-term fix. I believe it's a plan that can work for you!
