Publisher's summary

If you’re overweight or obese...

If you’re constantly tired, bloated, constipated, achy, sluggish, depressed, or anxious...

If you’re diabetic or pre-diabetic...

If your doctor keeps warning you about the risk of cancer, heart disease, or other lifestyle-reversible calamity...

If you’re constantly worried about your blood pressure, weight, insomnia, eating habits...

But you still find it next to impossible to stick to a healthy diet, exercise, and lifestyle plan...

Then you might be going about things the wrong way.

Let’s face it. Despite a flood of information and advice, we’re getting sicker and fatter all the time. That’s because the vast majority of “conventional” advice is outdated, wrong-headed, and just plain ineffective. Within this storm of bad news and bad advice, there’s a growing tribe of outliers who have managed to lose hundreds of pounds, reverse “impossible to cure” diseases, and even - to their own shock and delight - become fit and high-performing athletes.

Their stories don’t get a lot of media attention because they aren’t selling anything. No pills, powders, or potions. No expensive workout gadgets. No late-night informercial magic formulas. They simply rediscovered some basic, natural truths about the human animal. What we’re designed to eat. How we’re designed to move. And how we’re meant to think and feel.

When we get away from our natural heritage, we suffer. When we return to it, we thrive. Listen to Sick to Fit to discover how Josh LaJaunie went from a 420-pound food addict to the cover of Runner’s World magazine, as well as live appearances on Good Morning America and The Today Show.

Discover the simple secrets for a healthy life that have transformed dozens of members of the Missing Chins Run Club and hundreds of clients of WellStart Health from sick and sad to fit and fulfilled.

Super inspiring

Heard about the book from listening to Glen Livingston. The message gets to the heart of things. The passion in Josh’s voice and the straight shooting of Howie’s information drove in the ah ha moment - to just get started , do the things. I am left with clarity and inspiration.

One of the best out there. Very down to earth.

One of the best out there. One of my favorite lines is, "I have no use for fancy recipes ". Eat plant based and DO the work.

Not interested in their diet

I grabbed this book based on others reviews. I was really looking forward to learning the writers story and more about his running as he ended up on a magazine cover. I wasn’t really looking to be told to eat fruits and veggies. This diet is not for me and that is okay.

Great narration by the authors. I’ve followed these gents for years and am always blown away by their accomplishments and their passion for teaching others how they can help improve their lives through what they eat, intentional movement, and mindfulness. Great job Josh and Howie!
