“The pursuit of wellness can be overwhelming and confusing in a sea of conflicting health information. You might begin to feel you need to be a doctor yourself to sort through what’s true and what’s hype about the basics like food, sleep, and exercise.  It is the reliable answers to these core questions - how to eat, sleep, move, protect, unwind, and connect, that my friend and colleague Dr. Lipman brings to us in living color and in a delightfully refreshing style that I know will finally let you say, with a sigh of relief, “I’ve got this, I know How to Be Well." The guidance he presents is at once deceptively simple and yet profoundly elegant and universally true. These are the very answers that will allow your body to unlock its own innate healing capacity to prevent and reverse chronic disease so that you not only have many years in your life, but much life in your years.”
—Aviva Romm, MD, author of The Adrenal Thyroid Revolution
