Meditate to work. Cleanse to get dirty.Enough preaching about self-deprivation. No more striving for bodily purity. Who has the patience—or the time!—for strict dietary restrictions and hours of meditation? Let’s get real. These tactics just don’t work—at least not for long. But that doesn’t mean health and happiness are unobtainable.Most often you just need an anxiety buster you can do while running down the street. Or a yoga pose you can do at your desk. Or a way to debloat what feels like an alien baby in your abdomen. Retox isn’t about changing who you are or denying life’s pleasures. It’s about tailoring sensible, scientifically-based health practices to the life you already live. It’s about working hard, playing harder, and renewing your balance and energy so you can do it all again.In Retox, health expert Lauren Imparato strips yoga down to its anatomical principles, offering practical tips for fast relief. Then, drawing from a variety of disciplines—from psychology to nutrition to Tibetan philosophy—she designs no-nonsense strategies and delicious recipes to combat the most common challenges of modern life:• Stress and anxiety• Low energy• Back pain and headaches• Hangovers• PMS• Sleep Deprivation• And much more… Amazon Reviews:Don’t waste your money, contradictions galore and incorrect facts and info! She is a Marketing Genius, I’ll give her that! 4 febbraio 2016Di TIF – Pubblicato su Amazon.comThe concept of this book is nice, I got the audible version and got through it very quickly and there are lots of contradictions from one chapter to the next which is very confusing. For example, the Alien baby de-bloat advice is to avoid all raw veggies to avoid belly bloat, but then in the chapter on the New Mile High club about flying solutions, she states “to avoid bloat” after flying to eat as many raw vegetables and fruits you can get your hands on a total contradiction and very confusing.Also oranges are not the best source of Vitamin C which she states that they are throughout the book. The Orange industry has done a great job convincing people it is the #1 food source for vitamin C through their marketing. The best food sources are: Strawberries and Red Peppers are even higher in vitamin C than Oranges and Hot Peppers are supposed to be an even better source. It’s written a bit carelessly with all kinds of advice on diet that is either contradictory from one situation/chapter to another or facts that simply are not true (like oranges being the best source of vitamin C).Lauren has many mishaps, tears, health problems and injuries that one wonders why she doesn’t take her own advice. Her goofy sense of humor goes well with the gimmicky solutions but it’s hard to take them seriously. How has she somehow become a miracle healer over many experts and doctors, really? If it seems too good to be true, it usually is. Not one single person has written a review saying she has healed them anywhere or recommending her for any solution. Seems this book is all a big marketing gimmick. She also suggests a lot of red meat and eggs in the diets, people should beware and read Dr. Roizen’s info on how red meat changes the bacteria in your gut, yes even grass fed red meat and organic eggs too! Essentially the resulting red meat/eggs bacteria changing compound created in the gut causes cancer and other things (google it). There are many more contradictions and incorrect fact examples I have come across, too many to write here. You get the idea.The book has lost a lot of credibility for me for a few reasons. On the day the book was released thirty, 5 star reviews magically appeared on amazon by her friends, family and husband then next day like 10 more appeared. Not one review anywhere here nor on Yelp, is from a single person who says that she helped them with a solution related to this book. She claims to heal lots of people with her solutions, but not one person? She also is the queen of hype, she uses everything she can for hype, like #1 bestseller of new releases in Yoga (I think it was the only release in yoga, since then it’s been switched to detox category and back to yoga ). And…honestly I feel a bit foolish because I bought it then asked myself what did I think was truly credible about it in the first place. Don’t waste your time or money, her ego and all the hype seems much greater than her so called solutions.In my opinion she is a Marketing Genius and should write a book on how to market yourself and create hype through Social Media. I counted at least 170,000 likes and followers all totaled across several social media platforms and a blog. I have attended her yoga classes and there isn’t anything special about them except the cool loft space and the pace is faster (may be good or bad). Can we get a book on how you got 170,000 likes and followers and created so much hype and some business secrets Lauren (it’s obvious you are smart, hustle and work harder than most)? Once you have that kind of social media exposure in any business, other people want to get exposure to those people and will partner with you on anything.Very Good! 10 febbraio 2016by John L. – Pubblicato su Amazon.comLaurens classes have really helped me with balanced body strength and fitness, her personality and manner of teaching was not intimidating when I was a first time student in her class. As someone who is a active runner, marathoner and competing and instructing in bicycle riding, I found her way to be what I was looking for in helping my body. Her book is the next step forward, and has a lot of information. Practical and interesting to read.
