Produktbeschreibung

'The Handbook for Health' is a transformative guide written by Dr. Chris Turnpaugh and Dr. Cynthia West that distills the essence of lifestyle medicine into practical wisdom for longevity and wellness. This guide dives into the foundational behaviors that influence 85% of chronic disease outcomes, presenting the keys to health as simple as what can be held in one hand: diet, sleep, movement, stress management, and timely intervention through supplements or medication. Drawing inspiration from the Blue Zones, regions known for their high number of centenarians, the book reveals that while these populations eventually face common diseases, they do so much later in life, enjoying a longer health span. 'The Handbook for Health' offers readers a straightforward approach to crafting a lifestyle that not only reduces the risk of disease but also prolongs the time until its onset. By leveraging the interplay between essential health components-diet, sleep, movement, stress, and medication and/or supplements-this guide empowers you to create a sustainable, healthy lifestyle. With this book, learn to count the building blocks of a robust health regimen as easily as counting on your fingers, and pave the way to a future of better health and longevity.

Autorenporträt

Dr. Turnpaugh is a skilled practitioner whose primary focus is on finding and addressing the root cause of disease. He graduated from Life University and received his post-doctorate in functional neurology. His interest in functional medicine began with the intent on helping a current patient who was looking to address his whole health picture after an ALS diagnosis. Dr. Turnpaugh attended a seminar in 1995 given by Dr. Jeffrey Bland, the father of functional medicine, and that began his career in root cause medicine. His passion for functional medicine led him to open the Turnpaugh Health and Wellness Center in 1999. He enjoys the overall care team approach and loves sharing knowledge with the team, patients, and other providers. He has extensive experience in supporting patients who are dealing with the most difficult, chronic, autoimmune and neurological health conditions. He has a vast history of personal experience and consequently supporting Lyme disease, autoimmune conditions, thyroid disease, hormonal conditions and more. Dr. Turnpaugh teaches providers across the country about blood chemistry, thyroid conditions, brain disorders, and other functional medicine trainings. Dr. West's education, medical training, and professional career have taken her from Erie, Pennsylvania where she obtained her undergraduate degree from Gannon University to Thomas Jefferson University School of Medicine in Philadelphia where she received her medical education. Following completion of medical school, Dr. West settled in Pittsburgh for internship and residency in Internal Medicine followed by a fellowship in Nephrology and Hypertension at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. She spent over twenty five years practicing Nephrology in southwestern PA. Dr. West is board certified in Internal Medicine and Nephrology and served as Medical Director of a dialysis clinic in Washington, PA. From her years of work caring for those with chronic health conditions, Dr. West developed a passion for prevention of chronic disease. This led Dr. West to begin implementing principles of lifestyle medicine well over a decade ago. Dr. West became actively involved with the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and through it, discovered Functional Medicine which incorporates lifestyle intervention at its foundation. Dr. West embraces the combined strategies of traditional and functional medicine as a means to prevent, treat, and even reverse many of the same diseases she treated for many years. As the lead physician in the Livegevity Program at Turnpaugh Health and Wellness, she is eager to share this approach with patients to optimize their health span and add life to their years.
