We all want to enjoy vibrant health all the days of our life. When you apply the strategies you'll learn in The Five Forces of Wellness, this desire moves beyond being something you merely wish for and becomes reality! This revolutionary, science-based program from bestselling author Mark Hyman, M.D. reveals that it is possible to become biologically younger while you grow chronologically older. Unavailable in book form, The Five Forces of Wellness will teach you:

  • What is best for your body.
  • How to prevent disease from ravaging your body, using the medically proven "remove, repair, and recharge" system.
  • Which foods make you thrive and which make you sick.
  • How you can decrease the activity of the genes that will create illness and increase the activity of the genes that will create wellness.
  • Why you should NEVER go on a diet and how to lose weight without going on a diet.
  • What kinds of vitamins you need and how much.
  • Whether your body does better with vigorous exercise or more gentle exercise.
  • How to identify and rid yourself of toxins that make you sick.

The Five Forces of Wellness will work for absolutely everyone -- old, young, healthy, sick, or anywhere in between.

From AudioFile
Preventing or delaying the impairments of old age is the subject of this original audio program by a leading medical writer and alternative health practitioner. Hyman explains the five forces that slow down aging--overcoming malnutrition, reducing inflammation, improving metabolism, practicing detoxification, and lowering oxidative stress--with lucid examples from his medical practice and personal experience. He has a remarkable talent for offering empowering insights and lifestyle suggestions. With airtight rationales and assertive recommendations that anyone can implement, he earnestly delivers his ideas extemporaneously in fast-moving studio and seminar recordings. Listeners expecting a more relaxed or conversational lesson will have to adjust to his high-energy level. T.W. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine


Customer Reviews

Excellent!5
I thoroughly enjoyed the first round of listening to this very informative and educational lecture series and I'm still learning more every time I repeat the series. It is a wealth of information and Dr. Hyman spells things out in both medical and layman terms, providing plenty of real life examples to give the information perspective. This is a series that anyone with an open mind and desire to improve their health will benefit from.

Everything but the kitchen sink on Nutrition!5
I can't get enough of Dr. Hyman. I loved Ultraprevention, Ultrametabolism and now the Five Forces of Wellness. I tried the elimination diet he recommends and feel fantastic.

I dicovered I have a problem with digesting gluten. I feel so much better after elminating gluten from my diet. My kids are now gluten-free and are doing better in so many ways. I believe gluten should not be allowed in our food supply.

After listening to Dr. Hyman, I discovered my Thyroid levels were actually undesirable. The lab was using old information so my physician assumed my thyroid was fine. The ideal range for your TSH is between 1 & 2. Celiac Disease ( a gluten intolerance) can lead to thyroid problems. If I had eliminated gluten sooner, I probably wouldn't have a thyroid problem now.

Changed my life!5
These audio cd's are fantastic. I listen to them in the car and find myself wishing for traffic (so the ride lasts longer). I definately look at my health differently. It has really inspired me to take control of my families health and nutrition.
