Pre-Order “RETOX: Healthy Solutions for Real Life” by Lauren Imparato With Photos by Mick Rock

With photography by Mick Rock, RETOX is a 360 degree lifestyle book that addresses some of modern life’s biggest challenges by combining yoga, nutrition, and mindset practices into one realistic, doable solution. It pulls from Lauren’s tried and tested I.AM.YOU. methodologies and is applicable to the lives people actually lead. No hour long meditation sessions we do not have time for or steamed kale for lunch we have no interest in eating. Just straight up, real solutions that actually work for the real you in your real world. As she writes in the book, RETOX does not change your world: it makes you better within it. “Rest to Rage. Meditate to Work. Cleanse to Get Dirty.’”

For my sins in a former life, I’ve been forced to spend an inordinate amount of time with musicians in this life. Of course, I love them.

A camera is a wonderful ally. It requires minimal maintenance and provides entry to a world of endless imagery.

My ambition was not to be a great photographer (though that certainly would have been a worthy stance). It was a lust to embrace anything that startled or energized me.

I am not in the business of documenting or revealing personalities. I am in the business of freezing shadows and bottling auras.

Without the rock ‘n rollers, I would not have developed as an image man.

You want to shock people with a bit of mystery and beauty. That’s my favorite kind of shocking.

I’ve never felt like a voyeur, although I’ve certainly done plenty of looking!

There’s an art to looking back - how to celebrate the past without being entrapped by it. Photographs provide the great physical link.

My allegiance was always to the act. I wanted them to be happy. I wasn’t owned by a magazine or a record label.

I smell pictures more than I see them and I hear pictures more than I can smell them. It’s very habit forming.
