by Michael Breus PhD, Stacey Griffith

Overview

Unleash the energy you need to achieve your dreams through this revolutionary, science-based wellness program by a renowned sleep expert and a SoulCycle founding instructor.

Are you desperately seeking more energy? Dr. Breus and Stacey heard it every day from their clients, so they decided to do something about it: write a book and jumpstart a movement. In Energize! Dr. Breus and Stacey Griffith have teamed up to teach you how to get your groove back. Using the scientifically proven core principles of chronobiology and your biological body type (remember that from high school?), they offer an easy-to-understand, personalized program of small, daily movements, sleeping and fasting on schedule, and mood hacks that will give readers incredible energy, promote happiness, and fight off fatigue for good. Sounds too good to be true? Their program boils down to living the way nature and your DNA programmed you to live. But don’t worry, it's really simple—and super fun.
 
With fascinating science, quizzes so that readers can identify their chronotype (Lion, Wolf, Bear, or Dolphin) and their body type (Fast, Medium, or Slow Metabolism), and easily implemented advice, Energize! will have you feeling happier and more energetic in 30 days.

"Energize! is the long-awaited answer for the legions of people who are basically tired of being tired. As it relates to fatigue, there are many roads that lead to Rome. And while we assume that, for example, dietary choices may be playing a role, this book reveals the importance of not just what we eat, but also, how and when. Looking at our lifestyle variables like sleep, exercise and even stress management through these multiple lenses, as is so eloquently accomplished in Energize!, offers up a program that will re-engage vitality, stamina, and  participation in life."—Dr. Perlmutter, author of Brain Wash and Grain Brain
