About this listen

Prepared to live at your prime?

Integrative neurologist Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary discovered a beautiful side effect to the eating and lifestyle tools she gave her brain patients–spontaneously shedding excess pounds. In this, her first book, she shows us how to sharpen the brain, and smarten and heal the gut. Weight gain is not about the food, but about the body’s environment. Excess weight is a result of the body being in a toxic, inflammatory state. If your body is not prepared or ‘primed’ for weight loss, you will fight an uphill biochemical battle.

Her program is not about what you can’t have or do, it’s about adding simple teas and herbs, and succeeding without giving up any foods you love. With The Prime, Dr. Chaudhary has reverse engineered our way of eating, so we can stop dieting backward and start losing weight instead.

You’ll learn:

–The importance of neuroadaptation, food addiction, and the brain (or, why your brain and gut have made it so hard to lose weight in the past!)

–Why it’s not about what you eat, but what you digest

–How to determine if you have a Leaky Brain—and what The Prime can do about it (hint: everything)

–How to easily crush cravings (no willpower required), ignite energy and fat, and biohack your lifestyle habits. Lastly, you’ll learn how to live fully Primed, the secrets of the Super-Primed, and when you’re ready to explore new foods, how to eat according to your unique constitution.

Includes a PDF with recipes, quizzes, a cravings journal template, and some instructional boxes.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

For anyone looking to detox and to retrain your body for weight loss, this book is a great addition to your library. I say that because, like many eternal dieters, I have numerous books on weight loss. These books run the gamut from real age techniques to sugar elimination to shredding and more. This book takes a different approach. It is a cultural analysis of health and food habits. It is not the only book that assesses the American processed food obsession from a cultural perspective. The new fad in dieting, bone broth soups, which this book references, is based on Asian food traditions. However, Prime highlights the sad truth of what can happen to a culture that loses control of the ingredients in the foods placed on the plate. In America, much of the processing that goes into food manufacture yields results that our bodies do not recognize as food. The reality is that manufacturers are more focused on formulating addictive and long-lasting food equivalents. Chaudhary's approach is about freeing ourselves from the addiction to processed Franken-foods. I loved the book, and appreciate the fact that Chaudhary respects the difficulties inherent in the process of retraining both our bodies, and our brains, to recognize real food again -- after generations (think 1950's tv dinners to present day) of a cultural addiction to processed food stuffs that have no relation to health or nutrition. I only gave 4 stars because Chaudhary is a doctor. I would have, therefore, appreciated case studies with a little more academic rigor. She uses her patients, and herself, as sample populations. I understand that her own experiences led her to have more sympathy for real dieters, but it would have been nice to see additional examples from a variety of demographic groups, and to have a slightly more quantitative analysis as underlying support of her premise. That being said, this is an outstanding and helpful book on 2 important aspects of weight loss -- detoxification and mental priming.

Fascinating Listen

The Prime was life changing. I learned a lot more about Ayurveda and have started incorporating Dr. Chaudhary's tips into my life.

Loved it !

Granted I listen at 1.3x. I heard about this book from a podcast with the author who said my allergies can be overcome with gut health. I'm starting phase this week.

The book was informative. I liked her voice and what she said was captivating. I've already recommended the book to 3 of my friends with health issues.

First time I finished the book the day I bought it

I both read and listened to this book several times . This book is packed with rich and valuable information to hold on to for a lifetime. Composed from and delivered from a genuine place with a clear desire to honestly heal and help the modern processed human.

Most valuable book I have read!!!

I loved this book. It was so informative and educational, I learned more about my body in one book! I highly recommend it. The middle was a little too heavy with medical and Indian terminology and "this is connected to this, which causes this, etc." but the rest was great. I think all Americans could lead healthier and more fulfilling lives after reading and following this book.

Saturated in body and food education

This book provides an amazing alternative to the standard American health and nutrition guidlines. I highly recommend!

Excellent health information!

This is the first Ayurveda book that I've really enjoyed - I do like some of Deepak Chopra's books but his nutritional advice (i.e. drink a glass of orange juice regularly) does resonate at all for me. Also, I'm still not sure that I'm sold on the entire dosha system, but perhaps I look at it further one day. That said, I've already started to implement various parts of Dr. Chaudhary's "detox" methodology and so far it's been quite amazing.

My only concern so far is that for the past week I've lost the taste for coffee. I drink 4 cups per day normally, mostly organic and 2 regular, 2 decaf on average (it used to be 8+ cups per day). Now I'm craving ginger and lemon tea each day and coffee just tastes terrible -- so bizarre!

I follow a ketogenic diet although I have a lot of vegetables and only limited amounts of grass-fed meat and a lot of sardines. I'm open to change to something that works better, but in nearly 50 years a ketogenic diet has been the best for me -- not necessarily for weight loss, but more for health, skin, nails, energy levels, cognitive benefit etc. One thing that particularly impressed me about Prime was that the author follows a vegan dietary approach (other than some bone broth) and yet the content didn't denigrate other dietary approaches. I find it disappointing when authors tell me that carbs are essential for gaining muscle or that eggs, fish and meat are toxic (well, she did state that meat from animals that are mistreated is toxic, and I think I can largely get on-board with that).

Dr. Chaudhary's story is amazing the book somehow feels like a great fiction novel. The story about her "intervention" by her medical colleagues was an immediate classic. I think anyone can benefit from this book irrespective of whether they have an interest in Ayurveda or not. To the author -- thank you for writing this. I've already purchased copies for many people that I know.

Excellent in every way
