Description

USA TODAY BESTSELLERPUBLISHERS WEEKLY BESTSELLER • 2021 FOREWORD INDIES BRONZE WINNER — BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT

Vibrant is a wellness book that promises to be life-changing.” —Foreword Reviews

Stop thinking of your own well-being as something that's beyond your control.

Today's view of wellness is far too often fragmented, focusing on specific symptoms rather than the whole person. In Vibrant, Dr. Stacie Stephenson introduces readers to a new and empowering way of looking at health. A recognized leader in functional and integrative medicine, Stephenson has helped thousands by focusing not on treating disease, but on creating health-by giving individuals the knowledge, confidence, and inspiration they need to do so for themselves.

By the end of this life-changing book, readers will have the tools to transform their energy, weight, fitness, and general wellness, tackling everything from enhancing sleep quality to building an iron-clad immune system. Beginning with basics such as the truth about the best diet, the critical role of exercise in vitality and longevity, and the importance of human connection, Vibrant also dives deeper to give a holistic picture of health and how to achieve it. With helpful breakdowns on supplements, detoxification, and how to think about disease, this is much more than just another wellness book.

It's also packed with practical, useful features, including:

   • Self-assessment tools to aid you in listening to your body
   • A foolproof two-week meal plan
   • 40 delicious, healthful chef-created recipes
   • 30 days of baby steps to start building the habit of health

With Stephenson's candid and conversational voice, Vibrant is like having a friend who also happens to be a leading health authority take you under her wing. Along with practical advice, she shares powerful insights that will change the way you think about everything from exercise to relationships, and sends readers off with an inspirational chapter on how health has a ripple effect that can change your family, your community, and help to create a more vibrant world.

With a step-by-step program for making foundational lifestyle shifts, Vibrant shows you how to reclaim your health and energy, reverse aging, and glow-not just on the outside, but from deep within yourself.

Thank you #netgallery. I actually plan to buy this book when it is released to keep on hand. I normally don't like books that focused on health but this one didn't offend me, gave options and was very upbeat. Great book.

This book offers an encyclopedia of knowledge in how to live a vibrant life, but not by giving you tried and true methods many of us know. I learned a lot of new things, (ear crease for instance, how interesting!) I was inspired. Although I mostly try to live healthy, many setbacks lately have made it seem daunting. This book makes it much easier and gives you starting goals. It also offers an eating plan with recipes. I absolutely loved her sharing her personal story, with a chapter on love and relationships and how she escaped an abusive marriage. The end has you evaluating goals you set and in realizing it's always a work in progress. This book makes living vibrantly seem much easier than our minds would sometimes tell us!

Thank you so much to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book. I LOVED it and I feel like I got so much out of it. As much as I am attempting to make healthy eating choices for myself, sometimes I fall back into my old ways. This book does an amazing job at pointing out why certain food choices could be better than others. My next step is to make some notes for myself about the topics in this book and to give a try to cutting out some possible triggering foods from my diet.

The chapter about mental health and the food you eat was especially fascinating. I loved that the author included recipes and a meal plan, and each chapter has "to-do" items related to the topics that she talked about. This is most like a workbook than just a book to read.

I feel like I'll be using some of the ideas and plans from this book moving forward to think about some different choices to make. Loved this book!

This is a very interesting book that still has me thinking. I'm interested in incorporating some on the things in my life...recipies sound yummy.

I loved this holistic approach to health and wellness. I appreciate a program that is realistic and still comprehensive! Many of the recipes sounded amazing, so I can't wait to get into he kitchen and start my plan. This is one of those rare wellness books that doesn't shame and berate the reader for needing its advice.

A BIG THANK YOU to BenBella Books and NetGalley for the ARC of Vibrant: A Groundbreaking Program to Get Energized, Own Your Health, and Glow by Dr. Stacie Stephenson. Vibrant offers a refreshing and relaxed step-by-step guide for optimizing overall health, maintaining health, and preventing disease. Parting with the "name-it, blame-it, give-it-a-pill" philosophy of Western medicine, this guide delves into deep breathing techniques, gentle yogic postures, principles of Ayurveda, and proper hydration and diet. The "diet" proposed is not trendy or extreme and essentially boils down to a low-carb Mediterranean selection of organic whole foods, paired with a short list of suggested supplements. The author repeatedly encourages independent research. Although much of this information is widely available online through independent research, having a plan for better health mapped out in advance and itemized into sections of self-assessment certainly makes the process that much more simple and rewarding. I love testing out new recipes and look forward to trying all 40 recipes included, along with the two-week meal plan. Although there seem to be many budget-friendly recipes listed, there are others with ingredients that are not budget-friendly or easily sourced from local markets. An updated version with more budget-friendly alternatives would certainly be a welcome addition in the future, but Vibrant provides an excellent starting point for any wellness journey. ★★★★★

I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

"To be vibrant is to have the motivation to do whatever it is you want to do everyday, as unencumbered by fatigue and pain as you can possibly be. It means waking up ready to embrace whatever's coming with passion and optimism."

This review I'll admit may be an injustice to the depth of information and action points in this book. The author takes an in-depth look into health and wellness going beyond what we eat, and how we eat to why we eat and what happens to our bodies at all these times- yes, very few books delve into hormones and which ones are affected by which foods and which emotions coupled with inactivity.

I love something explored here in trying to lose bad habits: Rule of halves which advises that you cut your habit in half and I am trying it when it comes to dairy and dairy products. Instead of 4 cups of milk tea a day, I had only 2 today and it's something I want to embrace until I am comfortable having black tea as much as I am with black coffee.

Thanks Netgalley for the eARC. This is a holitic action based approach to health, vitality and wellness and would recommend it to anyone who wants to be healthy, uphold energy and eat well.
