As the modern Western lifestyle spreads around
the globe, so too does metabolic syndrome — a
cluster of symptoms that increases the risk of
developing heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and
other conditions. The good news: metabolic
syndrome can be tamed by a sensible program of
exercise, natural foods, stress management, and
quality sleep. In his new book Turbo Metabolism,
Dr. Vij distills a mass of medical research into a
simple, effective program for vibrant health.
Avoiding fads and gimmicks, he provides practical
advice, case studies of ordinary people, and brief
sections that debunk common medical myths. We
hope you’ll enjoy this Q and A with Dr. Vij about

the book.

Metabolism.

You say that chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes are
reversible. What are the essential lifestyle ingredients for making that
happen?

These metabolic diseases are caused by man-made conditions. They are a
byproduct of our unhealthy, modern lifestyle. They can be reversed by creating
the conditions in which humans have been thriving for thousands of years —

eating a nutrient dense plant rich diet of unprocessed food, staying physically
active, having emotional resilience and meaningful social connections, and
making quiet time to de-stress and sleep a priority.

Your book offers a holistic approach to healing from diabetes, heart
disease, and other metabolic disease. Tell us more about the
connection between mind, body, soul, and spirit.
