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.
