What does being healthy mean to you? The answer to this question can look quite different depending on whom you ask. Despite this subjectivity, one thing remains clear: the vast majority of people struggle to achieve a healthy lifestyle by any definition.
It’s no secret that we are in a health epidemic. Obesity, diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and mental illness wreak havoc on the lives of millions. Many measures of physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being are declining despite advances in technology and medicine. People are not just losing sight of what being healthy means; they are also losing the ability to obtain and sustain a healthy lifestyle. It’s about time we took control of our health and wellness and reversed this trend.
This book provides an integrative system that combines evidence-based information, key frameworks, foundational principles, and strategies for action that will empower you to optimize your health and wellness.

So what does being healthy mean to you? That is the question this book will help you define, explore, and answer. So crack it open and explore your path to vitality!
The Vitality System by Kyle Gonzalez is, at its heart, a relatively simple self-help guide with aims which are anything but. Broken down into four key areas (known as "The Core Four"): Movement, Nutrition, Recovery and Lifestyle, the target audience of this book is anyone who wants to hit a reset button on their life, content which is prefaced by what Gonzalez's refers to as the "Foundational Principles", empirical-type enablers which help readers unlock the true value of the Core Four (e.g. Exploration, Experimentation and Evolution). While on the surface the headings seem obvious and straightforward, very quickly you realise there is more than meets the eye on the Core Four (and with about fifty pages dedicated to each, it is also a case of more than meets the page!) For those struggling with the amount of content, there is a section towards the end of the book which provides an executive summary of the Core Four, alongside additional resources to support ongoing personal growth and development.
There is a lot of valuable insight in this book and with plenty of useful tips and guidance on how to make small and manageable changes. The book can be a little overwhelming in places and personally I would warn against trying to tackle all the content in one sitting. It is better digested when consumed in smaller chunks. Gonzalez's writing style is informed and reassuring in tone in a way that gently reminds readers long-lasting change can never be seen as a quick-win (hence the equal importance of adopting the right lifestyle and thereby mindset as well as doing and eating the right things). Gonzalez is clear in this aspect, he is not here to encourage readers to boil the ocean.
As a trained health and wellness practitioner with a background in sports, Gonzalez places himself in a strong position to write this book. Through his detailed descriptions and summaries to the scientific breakdown of nutritional food groups and regions of the brain, you can feel the invested blood, sweat and tears ooze off every written page. This is a man who has poured his heart and soul into producing a book of immense quality and standing.
Delivered with skill and confidence, The Vitality System is not merely a book, it is a lifestyle bible.
