How to Make Disease Disappear

April 27, 2018

Dr. Rangan Chatterjee may be best known as the medical doctor who helped ordinary people turn their health around on the BBC’s Doctor in the House. He’s now a speaker and author and has compiled his best medical advice into a new book, How to Make Disease Disappear. It’s a guide to restoring health using simple techniques that are accessible to everyone, at any stage of health or illness, without a lot of expensive tests or supplements.

In this podcast with Dr. Tommy Wood, Rangan breaks down his 4 Pillars of Health: Relax, Eat, Move, and Sleep.  He outlines the basic-but-powerful lifestyle interventions that have been most effective in his clinical practice for reversing chronic illness, and also shares the strategies that resolved his own 10-year battle with back pain.
