A much-needed program to prevent and reverse disease, and discover a path to sustainable, long-term health from an acclaimed international doctor and star of the BBC program Doctor in the House.

How to Make Disease Disappear is Dr. Rangan Chatterjee’s revolutionary, yet simple guide to better health—a much-needed, accessible plan that will help you take back control of your health and your life.

A physician dedicated to finding the root cause of ill health rather than simply suppressing symptoms with drugs, Dr. Chatterjee passionately advocates and follows a philosophy that lifestyle and nutrition are first-line medicine and the cornerstone of good health. Drawing on cutting edge research and his own experiences as a doctor, he argues that the secret to preventing disease and achieving wellness revolves around four critical pillars: food, relaxation, sleep, and movement. By making small, incremental changes in each of these key areas, you can create and maintain good health—and alleviate and prevent illness. As Dr. Chatterjee, reveals we can reverse and make disease disappear without a complete overhaul of our lifestyle.

His dynamic, user-friendly approach is not about excelling at any one pillar. What matters is balance in every area of your life, which includes:

  • Me-time every day
  • An electronic-free Sabbath once a week
  • Retraining your taste buds
  • Daily micro-fasts
  • Movement snacking
  • A bedtime routine

Practical and life-changing, How to Make Disease Disappear is an inspiring and easy-to-follow guide to better health and happiness.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

In How to Make Disease Disappear, Dr. Rangan Chatterjee presents a radically simple plan for taking control of your health and your life.

Chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, depression and dementia are today the nation’s leading causes of death and disability. Half of all American adults currently suffer with a chronic disease, with one in four people suffering from two or more. Despite the statistics, so much confusion exists about what we can do to protect ourselves and live long, healthy lives.

Acclaimed functional medicine doctor Rangan Chatterjee writes, “The good news is that I can make these diseases disappear. That’s right. This probably sounds like an extraordinary claim, but the reason I can make them disappear is that they’re an illusion. These diseases are not the inevitable result of aging. They are not simply our genetic fate or our destiny. We do not have to suffer needlessly. The truth is these diseases don’t really exist, at least not in the way we think they do.”

A life free of disease 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, most importantly, avoid and reverse illness.

Based on cutting-edge research and fascinating case studies from real patients, How to Make Disease Disappear is a practical and revolutionary path to avoiding disease and embracing the health we all deserve.

Easy lifestyle changes can transform your health!
Great book. Dr. Chatterjee makes science-backed suggestions for lifestyle changes in four areas: relax, eat, move, and sleep. Each section has five suggestions. Some are easy (keep a gratitude journal), while others are more challenging (the screen-free sabbath, a digital detox). The book is easy to read and written in a relaxed style, but presents enough science to give clout to his suggestions.
Thank you for your feedback

I started reading this book a month ago. This Doctor is knowledgeable and uses real world science, medication, and alternative regimens. This led me to finally stop drinking Coca Cola which I have had six cans per day since I was five years old.

I also cut out all added sugars and started juicing with 50% fruits and 50% vegetables. I now am at 90% vegetables in my juice with half an apple.

The amazing stuff is also related to technology. He makes bold statements about technology affecting our lives. I have turned off all notifications except text messages and phone calls. Even those get muted out often.

I also started reading labels of everything I consume. I stopped with anything that has more than five ingredients. I often am skipping meat products for four or five days in a row due to all of the crap they put in them GMO, antibiotics, growth hormones, and preservatives.

I am on my second reading of the book as the first reading I was consumed with changing habits and missed basically the second half of the book. I am only on Amazon here now because, I wanted to review this book and tell people to buy it. Buy in. Change your life. You can do it. It can start now. If I have a bad day and eat a steak and dessert for dinner, I am right back to health food the next day. The key for me is no added sugar to anything, no candy, and definitely no Coca Cola. I know from the past if I have one Coca Cola I will drink a six pack within a few hours. That is where discipline and changing habits comes in.

I have lost ten pounds. Two belt loop sizes which is about three inches around my waist as the pants I was cramming myself into now fit easily with room to spare. My face looks healthy. I am snacking on nuts, dried fruits, and drinking green smoothies that taste better than the sweet stuff used to taste to me.

I purchased this book after hearing a podcast interview with Dr. Chatterjee. The book is researched based but easy to read. It is written and organized in an accessible and understandable way. The focus of the book is identifying healthy habits that are easily implemented and provide the most "bang for your buck". Dr. Chatterjee offers realistic compromises for strategies that people may be resistant to implement.

This book is never preachy, and has numerous real life examples of patients who have adopted the suggestions gradually, but successfully. I found it a quick and enjoyable read. I feel that most people will be confident in their ability to begin to implement beneficial changes in their lives after reading How to Make Disease Disappear.

Great book so far. If you’re genuinely interested in truth as well as a simplistic way of how to repair, rebuild, & just overall health & longevity. This is the book!
Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2020
I listened to a podcast of Dr Chatterjee about the 4 pillars of health.I was impressed with the simplicity really and the ability of anyone really to implement these habits. I agree fully with the doctor that none of these suggestions can hurt you (though I'm by no means a doctor). I've been following a challenge program for about 2 years now that implements a lot of these suggestions, one at a time. I will say, the ones I have been able to make habits have definitely improved my health (like the sleep suggestions). I like that the doctor keeps it simple. The book is written with just enough science to make an argument, but in a manner laid back enough to keep the reader engaged. I especially liked that Dr Chatterjee shared his own experiences and struggles.

This is a simple, straight-forward, step-by-step (but not overbearingly so) guide on how to gently set yourself on the path to a healthier lifestyle. Not too much science (though it's clear Dr. Chatterjee is committed to health and has done his research!) -- what I mean is that the flow of the book doesn't get bogged down in numbers and charts and graphs. It's all based on clear science, but presented in an easily digestible way, alongside simple tips for incorporating the meat of the research into your daily life. This is a great gift for someone who is looking to make a change, but perhaps doesn't know where to start or is easily overwhelmed by all of the "healthy" options out there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rangan at his best.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 23, 2020
This book was for the American and Canadian market and is similar to the four pillars on the British market. Rangans' philosophy is to try and implement lifestyle changes to help cure diseases rather than automatically reach for the prescription pad. As a N.H.S. G.P. he has had enormous number of successes, much to the gratitude of his patients. His cure relies on the principles of Relax: to reduce stress, Eat: addressing diet, Move: to stress the need for consistent exercise and activity to further good health, Sleep: the healing of good sleep hygiene and each help to prevent and restore your good health. Each principle is as important as each over and observing all of them is what helps your lifestyle restore you to health. Rangan hasn't given up on his patients don't give up on yourself without trying to change your lifestyle for the better even if you are in good health now. I recommend you read this book and any of Rangan's books are worth a read. Even if you don't apply all these methods, adopt what you can.
