Publisher's summary

Prepared to live at your prime?

Integrative neurologist Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary discovered a beautiful side effect to the eating and lifestyle tools she gave her brain patients–spontaneously shedding excess pounds. In this, her first book, she shows us how to sharpen the brain, and smarten and heal the gut. Weight gain is not about the food, but about the body’s environment. Excess weight is a result of the body being in a toxic, inflammatory state. If your body is not prepared or ‘primed’ for weight loss, you will fight an uphill biochemical battle.

Her program is not about what you can’t have or do, it’s about adding simple teas and herbs, and succeeding without giving up any foods you love. With The Prime, Dr. Chaudhary has reverse engineered our way of eating, so we can stop dieting backward and start losing weight instead.

You’ll learn:

–The importance of neuroadaptation, food addiction, and the brain (or, why your brain and gut have made it so hard to lose weight in the past!)

–Why it’s not about what you eat, but what you digest

–How to determine if you have a Leaky Brain—and what The Prime can do about it (hint: everything)

–How to easily crush cravings (no willpower required), ignite energy and fat, and biohack your lifestyle habits. Lastly, you’ll learn how to live fully Primed, the secrets of the Super-Primed, and when you’re ready to explore new foods, how to eat according to your unique constitution.

Includes a PDF with recipes, quizzes, a cravings journal template, and some instructional boxes.

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

Is there a better word than awesome?

Best book ever on integrative health. A genuine threat to pharmaceutical companies. A game changer.

Saturated in body and food education

I loved this book. It was so informative and educational, I learned more about my body in one book! I highly recommend it. The middle was a little too heavy with medical and Indian terminology and "this is connected to this, which causes this, etc." but the rest was great. I think all Americans could lead healthier and more fulfilling lives after reading and following this book.

Most valuable book I have read!!!

I both read and listened to this book several times . This book is packed with rich and valuable information to hold on to for a lifetime. Composed from and delivered from a genuine place with a clear desire to honestly heal and help the modern processed human.

Excellent health information!

This book provides an amazing alternative to the standard American health and nutrition guidlines. I highly recommend!

Fascinating Listen

For anyone looking to detox and to retrain your body for weight loss, this book is a great addition to your library. I say that because, like many eternal dieters, I have numerous books on weight loss. These books run the gamut from real age techniques to sugar elimination to shredding and more. This book takes a different approach. It is a cultural analysis of health and food habits. It is not the only book that assesses the American processed food obsession from a cultural perspective. The new fad in dieting, bone broth soups, which this book references, is based on Asian food traditions. However, Prime highlights the sad truth of what can happen to a culture that loses control of the ingredients in the foods placed on the plate. In America, much of the processing that goes into food manufacture yields results that our bodies do not recognize as food. The reality is that manufacturers are more focused on formulating addictive and long-lasting food equivalents. Chaudhary's approach is about freeing ourselves from the addiction to processed Franken-foods. I loved the book, and appreciate the fact that Chaudhary respects the difficulties inherent in the process of retraining both our bodies, and our brains, to recognize real food again -- after generations (think 1950's tv dinners to present day) of a cultural addiction to processed food stuffs that have no relation to health or nutrition. I only gave 4 stars because Chaudhary is a doctor. I would have, therefore, appreciated case studies with a little more academic rigor. She uses her patients, and herself, as sample populations. I understand that her own experiences led her to have more sympathy for real dieters, but it would have been nice to see additional examples from a variety of demographic groups, and to have a slightly more quantitative analysis as underlying support of her premise. That being said, this is an outstanding and helpful book on 2 important aspects of weight loss -- detoxification and mental priming.

Loved it !

The Prime was life changing. I learned a lot more about Ayurveda and have started incorporating Dr. Chaudhary's tips into my life.

First time I finished the book the day I bought it

Granted I listen at 1.3x. I heard about this book from a podcast with the author who said my allergies can be overcome with gut health. I'm starting phase this week.

The book was informative. I liked her voice and what she said was captivating. I've already recommended the book to 3 of my friends with health issues.

THE BEST!

I have listened to this book 4 times, and I am still not tired of listening! This book has helped me to kick soda, artificial sweeteners, and caffeine to the curb and drink a lot more water. It has helped me to find a gentler, easier way to detox and feel healthier. I would recommend this to anyone that has tried practically every diet out there (believe me, I have tried almost every one!!) and failed to keep the weight off. This book has been my answer!

Fatty Liver Detox!!

This is the best resource to help with my recent diagnosis of Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and total detox I have found anywhere!

If you want to be healthy on your old years. Practice this amazing learnings

I got this book not to lose weigh but have always been interested in Ayurveda medicine.
I have learned so much in this book! I wish everybody could understand how simple is to become healthier at any age. Thank you Dr. Chaudhary
