I loved the questionnaires through out and the detailed explanations. I'm entering my 40's and needed something that could help me become a healthier version of myself for my kids. Thank you for choosing me as an ARC reader.
Very nice book. Lots of great recipes. The exercises had nice diagrams to help understand them. Lots of very good info about how to eat and most importantly how to get in more protein.
The Forever Strong PLAYBOOK: A Six-Week, Science-Based Plan to Sharpen Your Mind, Strengthen Your Body, and Get Healthy at Any Age by Gabrielle Lyon is an excellent guide for anyone—regardless of age or fitness level—looking to build a healthier, stronger lifestyle.
The book takes a holistic approach to wellness, addressing not just the physical aspects of health, but also mindset and emotional well-being. I especially appreciated the guided questions at the beginning, which help readers assess where they are and visualize what their best, healthiest self looks like. Dr. Lyon breaks down how to use essential nutrients to maximize results, and clearly explains the benefits of movement and exercise.
I also loved the sections that explore additional wellness tools such as cold plunges, infrared saunas, and red light therapy—offering practical advice on how to incorporate them into daily life. This six-week program serves as the perfect jumpstart toward a more balanced and sustainable lifestyle.
As someone entering my 50s, I found this book to be exactly what I needed to stay healthy, strong, and proactive in preventing future ailments.
