About this listen

National best seller

Fight cancer, diabetes, heart disease, weight gain, and even the aging process itself with one simple, scientifically proven plan to reverse disease - as well as prevent and reduce symptoms - from the world-renowned pioneer of lifestyle medicine.

Dean Ornish, MD, has directed revolutionary research proving, for the first time, that lifestyle changes can often reverse - undo! - the progression of many of the most common and costly chronic diseases and even begin reversing aging at a cellular level.

Medicare and many insurance companies now cover Dr. Ornish’s lifestyle medicine program for reversing chronic disease because it consistently achieves bigger changes in lifestyle, better clinical outcomes, larger cost savings, and greater adherence than have ever been reported - based on 40 years of research published in the leading peer-reviewed medical and scientific journals.

Now, in this landmark audiobook, he and Anne Ornish present a simple yet powerful new unifying theory explaining why these same lifestyle changes can reverse so many different chronic diseases and how quickly these benefits occur. They describe what it is, why it works, and how you can do it:

  • Eat well: a whole foods, plant-based diet naturally low in fat and sugar and high in flavor. The “Ornish diet” has been rated “#1 for Heart Health” by U.S. News & World Report every year from 2011 to 2017.
  • Move more: moderate exercise such as walking
  • Stress less: including meditation and gentle yoga practices
  • Love more: how love and intimacy transform loneliness into healing

With 70 recipes, easy-to-follow meal plans, tips for stocking your kitchen and eating out, recommended exercises, stress-reduction advice, and inspiring patient stories of life-transforming benefits - for example, several people improved so much after only nine weeks that they were able to avoid a heart transplant - Undo It! empowers listeners with new hope and new choices.

“The Ornishes’ work is elegant and simple and deserving of a Nobel Prize, since it can change the world!” (Richard Carmona, MD, MPH, FACS, 17th Surgeon General of the United States)

“If you want to see what medicine will be like ten years from now, read this book today.” (Rita F. Redberg, MD, editor in chief, JAMA Internal Medicine)

“This is one of the most important books on health ever written.” (John Mackey, CEO, Whole Foods Market)

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Missing PDF of the exercise tables

Anne talks about the exercise tables in the PDF but I can’t find them. Just food information. She ‘reads’ the description of the exercises with the bands but that’s pretty useless without a visual.

Overall, I did get a fair bit of info from this book but I feel it contradicts other info from authors such as Dr Michael Greger. I thought these guys were on the same page as each other. So now I’m a bit confused.

I found a lot of Anne’s narrative boring - especially the part where she goes on about what to eat when out and the questions to ask the restaurants. Honestly, I think most restaurants would tell you to take a hike if you went in asking all those questions and making the demands she suggests. Seriously, just eat at home if it’s such an issue.

Don't bother

The sections were Dean was reading was OK, but I could not stand Annes voice and the bits she was given to read were extremely boring. if I could handle listening to her for more than five minutes then I was bored in five minutes and 1 second.

A complete look at lifestyle factors

I have really enjoyed this book but I noticed not all the information is in the downloadable PDF as it should be. During the book they reference the PDF for certain things and I noticed they weren’t there. For this reason I think it would be better to own the book for all of the imagery and ensuring you get the complete experience from the book.
