Synopsis

Named one of "The New Healers" on the cover of New York magazine, holistic physician Frank Lipman presents his seven-step program for cultivating habits that naturally strengthen the body's resilience.

Dr. Lipman's Seven Steps are:

Step 1: Take Responsibility for Your Health and Well-Being
Step 2: Remove Toxins and Decrease Your Total Load
Step 3: Recognize Your Unique Diet
Step 4: Replenish Nutrients and Balance Hormones
Step 5: Release Tension and Relieve Stress
Step 6: Revitalize with a Detox
Step 7: Reconnect to Yourself, Others, and Nature


In terms of health, most of us live at 50 percent of our capacity. Total Renewal takes us the rest of the way there.

Many people suffer from digestive disorders, low-grade toxicity, or fluctuating blood sugar levels. While not ballooning into full-fledged diseases, these conditions hamper our enjoyment of life and prefigure illnesses that loom in our future. Comprised of seven key steps, Dr. Frank Lipman's Total Renewalprogram reverses the unhealthy habits and poor functioning that we slowly develop and take for granted over the course of our lives, replacing them with new behaviors that leave us stronger, healthier, and more durable.

A prominent clinician on the leading edge of new concepts in complementary medicine, Dr. Lipman brings a vital, fresh voice to the literature of self-care and holistic health.

Commentaires

Lipman, a Manhattan-based doctor versed in both Chinese Western medicine, and co-author Gunning present a sensible seven-step program to renew health. According to Lipman, modern medicine is currently a disease-care rather than a health-care system, which treats the symptoms (often with unnecessary drugs) rather than getting to the root of the illness itself. In his 25 years as a physician, Lipman has found that a combination of Western and holistic approaches (such as acupuncture and yoga) can best serve patients who suffer from modern malaise and such problems as chronic pain, irritable bowel syndrome and acid reflux. His program involves taking responsibility for one's own health, establishing a more open, communicative relationship with a doctor, and spring-cleaning the body's system to repair damage from exposure to toxins in food and the environment. His seven steps (take responsibility for your health and well being; remove toxins and decrease your total load; recognize your unique diet; replenish nutrients and balance hormones; release tension and relieve stress; revitalize with a detox; and reconnect to yourself, others and nature) are described in distinct chapters with specific instructions on foods to eat, toxins to avoid, and ways to live more healthfully. According to Lipman, toxicity is the biggest challenge to being healthy today; his integrative approach provides practical methods for revitalizing the body and spirit.
