About this listen
After she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease in her early 20s, Phoebe Lapine felt overwhelmed by her doctor's strict protocols and confused when they directly conflicted with information on the best-seller list. After experiencing mixed results and a life of deprivation that seemed unsustainable at best, she adopted 12 of her own wellness directives - including eliminating sugar, switching to all-natural beauty products, and getting in touch with her spiritual side - to find out which lifestyle changes truly impacted her health for the better. The Wellness Project is the insightful and hilarious result of that year of exploration - part memoir and part health and wellness primer (complete with 20 healthy recipes), it's a must-listen not just for those suffering from autoimmune disease but for anyone looking for simple ways to improve their health without sacrificing life's pleasures.

Aging has long been considered a normal process. We think disease, frailty, and gradual decline are inevitable parts of life. But they’re not. Science today sees aging as a treatable disease. By addressing its root causes we can not only increase our health span and live longer but prevent and reverse the diseases of aging—including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and dementia.

Arthritis is the most common cause of disability in the world - greater than both back pain and heart disease. One example, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), is the most common autoimmune disease, affecting 1% of the US population, and almost 68 million people worldwide. Conventional medicine tends to treat arthritis with strong, gut-damaging, immune-suppressing pain medications, temporarily relieving the symptoms of the disease without addressing its root causes.

The latest groundbreaking tome from Tim Ferriss, the number-one New York Times best-selling author of The 4-Hour Workweek. For the last two years, I've interviewed more than 200 world-class performers for my podcast, The Tim Ferriss Show. The guests range from super celebs (Jamie Foxx, Arnold Schwarzenegger, etc.) and athletes (icons of powerlifting, gymnastics, surfing, etc.) to legendary Special Operations commanders and black-market biochemists. For most of my guests, it’s the first time they’ve agreed to a two-to-three-hour interview.

Nutritional therapy is often overlooked in medical school, and the information provided to physicians is often outdated. However, the negative consequences on your health remain the same.

Good overall with a few downfalls
Her overall message and experience was genuine and will help those who don’t already know how to have the healthiest body and mind you can have. Her ability to afford all the tests and natural makeup etc should be noted. Most people cannot afford to have their stool tested or go to a Manhattan all natural make up store. However, the biggest disappointment was her insecurity and inability of allowing her boyfriend to see her face without make up. At 29 years old! It made me wonder why she would want to be with someone who may be so shallow as to not accept her for who she is. And last but not least was her inability to pronounce the word hormones. Did no one notice she cannot pronounce this word? She pronounces it harmones. I know this is being extremely nitpicky but if you’re going to say the word a million times learn how to say it. All that aside, I applaud her for being so open minded and going against her natural instincts to be hyper clean all the time and embrace natural bacteria. Change is hard and she did it. She changed her health for the better and didn’t have to lose herself and become someone totally different in the process. Kudos to her!

This book might have saved me from more years of misdiagnosis!
Thank You Phoebe for writing this book! It was very helpful but most of all revealing to me! After two years of fighting acne crisis in my forties with doctors who meant well but didn’t solve the problem, this book was a revelation of what could be causing my acne!
It’s fun, easy to read (or listen to) and with lots of info but simple to understand for everyone. Once again: Thank you!! ♥️

A cute book for teens.
Very cute trendy book with a bunch of cool fluff. Though rather written for young teens. Has lots of good information to inspire them to start thinking about their own health and, perhaps, to model the author in other ways.
The only reason I gave 3 stars as it’s unfortunate that the book cover is somewhat misleading. Somehow it appeared to be suitable for grownups. With a more targeted cover it would be a great book for the right crowd.
I any case, a light gourmet-blog-chit-chat style read, it appears to offer a glimpse into popular trends of younger city-based crowds.

The best health book I have ever read.
When a lifelong diagnosis becomes a nightmare, Phoebe makes the most of it and tells us much more than her story, but shares advice on thriving with this condition. Health is different for us all, but when someone shares tips on how to live a gluten, caffeine and alcohol free life (and more), us deficient sisters can relate and empower one another and live fully.
I just sent this to the author and she responded with gratitude and gave thanks. Everyone should read this book.
Phoebe. Girl. You are amazing! My name is Anna and I just finished your book. I don't know if my words will ever do justice, but I want to thank you from a fellow diseased sister who needs to give my body a break. Your words lept on my stiffed-arm rebellion to truly reform my thinking about my version of health. I want to thank you for writing your words. I truly admire you more than you will know.
Thank you Phoebe Lapine. We all can learn from you! If you are feeling inadequate in the health aspect of your life, you must read this book. You will not regret purchasing this one.
