Although 6ft 6in and strikingly handsome, on first meeting Dr Chatterjee, it is his warmth and generosity that impress most. As far from the cliché stressed and perfunctory GP as you can imagine, he makes time for his fans, and has a genuine passion for truly getting people well. His first book, The 4 Pillar Plan, published December 2017, and available to the specialist health food sector via Viridian Nutrition, is an evidence-based, practical guide to better health from the star of BBC1's Doctor in the House. In The 4 Pillar Plan, Dr Rangan Chatterjee presents an easily accessible 4-step strategy for taking control of your health and your life. Everyday health revolves around Dr Chatterjee's four pillars: relaxation, food, sleep and movement. By making small, achievable changes in each of these key areas you can create and maintain good health - and avoid illness. It's not about excelling at any one pillar - what matters is the balance across all the things you do, including: · an electronic 'sabbath' once a week · aiming for 12 hours every day without food · exposure to sunlight first thing each morning Based on cutting edge research and his own experiences as a doctor, this book contains fascinating case studies from real patients. Practical and potentially life-changing, The 4 Pillar Plan is an inspiring and easy-to-follow guide to better health and happiness. The point of this book is to give the reader a simple actionable plan beyond the sort of health advice we’ve all gotten used to – beyond the faddy diets and quick-fix exercises to a lifestyle that gets consistent results into a healthy old age. Dr Rangan Chatterjee is a pioneer in the emerging field of programme medicine, a leading voice in the lifestyle medicine movement and is changing the way that we look at illness. He is known for finding the root cause of people’s problems by taking a broad approach to health, which was highlighted in BBC1’s ground-breaking tv series Doctor in the House. He is a regular health commentator on the BBC and his TEDx talk on making diseases disappear has been viewed close to a million times on social media.
