Vibrant: A Groundbreaking Program to Get Energized, Own Your Health, and Glow

This book focuses on health and well-being. It aims to help readers control their health and incorporate various changes in daily habits, thereby helping them feel more energized and lively. By targeting food choices, diet, exercise, and social connections, Dr. Stephenson believes that people can not only feel better, but look better and thrive with newfound energy.

She advocates starting with a gluten-free and dairy-free diet, since she feels this is the cause of numerous health-related issues, from skin conditions to joint pain and stomach discomfort. In her years of practice as a doctor, she has noticed that when patients get their diet right, it is easier to follow her program to increase energy through exercise and social connections.

I found quite a lot to like in Dr. Stephenson’s program. Not just tips for changing an unhealthy diet, but also tips she provides for slowly incorporating new and healthy habits into a daily routine. The end of the book contains a thirty-day plan that anyone can follow. She also includes many recipes that are helpful for those trying to cut out gluten and dairy, something that I find challenging at times. Vibrant is one of those books that I’m sure I will consult again and again.
