From the doctor whose "extraordinary practice is at the vanguard of a revolutionary way to deliver medical care" ("O, The Oprah Magazine"), here is an easy program to restore energy and health"DO YOU FEEL UNUSUALLY EXHAUSTED?""DO YOU HAVE TROUBLE SLEEPING?""DOES YOUR DIGESTION BOTHER YOU?""DO YOU HAVE ACHING MUSCLES AND JOINTS?""DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE AGING TOO QUICKLY?"Fatigue, unexplained back and joint pain, distractibility, irritability, insomnia, and digestive problems leave many of us running on empty. But these symptoms are not part of the normal aging process; they point to a pervasive syndrome Dr. Frank Lipman calls Spent. In this revolutionary book, "the country's most prominent holistic M.D. after Andrew Weil" ("W ") shares the solution that has helped thousands of his patients replenish their energy and regain their youth. Featuring a nutrition plan of tasty recipes, research-based exercises and stretches, and Daily Beats to nourish body and mind, "Revive "is a proven day-by-day wellness program that will prepare you for a lifetime of good health.
I was drawn into all things Dr. Frank Lipman after a weekend of wellness with Frank, Kris Carr, Sharon Gannon, and Robert Thurman -- what a crew of good souls! -- at Menla Mountain Retreat in October 2012.
What I love about this book is what I appreciate so much about Frank and his approach to everything: He's realistic, reminds us how we can help our bodies heal (and thrive) naturally, and gives you manageable doses to walk you through to feeling good again.
Excellent and fun to read/use...at your own pace, and includes simple, at-home exercises, self-massage (tennis ball foot massage!), playlists, and fabulous recipes.
Reading this for my husband, since he doesn't have time. So he will have only himself to blame when I start feeding him avocado and green powder smoothies for breakfast and making him put tennis balls under his shoulders. Basically full of sound advice so far, cut out sugar and caffeine because they make you more tired after the initial short-lived boost, improve your nutrition, etc. It isn't quick-fix stuff, but it's presented in small steps anybody can take.

Very informative and easy to read. I don't want to get on this program knowing how difficult it will be but this may be my future. Not an easy change to make but recommend this for anyone in my shoes - a great guide and resource
