Publisher's summary

Is your body an asshole? Does it keep you up at night, crave nonstop French fries and ice cream, and try to convince you that exercise is evil? Does it develop weird illnesses and pains for no apparent reason and run out of energy just when you need it the most? Does having a body at all fill you with uncomfortable emotions? 

Enter Dr. Faith G. Harper, therapist, nutritionist, and bestselling author of Unf--k Your Brain. She explains the emerging science of the gut-brain connection and the vagus nerve so that everyone can understand what’s going on in your body and how to make friends with it again, especially if you’ve experienced trauma or chronic stress. Filled with straight talk and practical exercises so you can reconnect with your physical needs and reactions, work through body shame, manage illness and disability, and implement small changes that make a huge difference in how you feel every day. You are a whole person, and it’s time to reconnect with yourself!

You get me!

If you are anything like me and don’t like the way Dr. talk to you, this author is for us.
Dr.Faith you are the easiest doctor to understand that I have ever learned anything from. I will most definitely be listening to all the books that are on Audible so thank you.

Grating voice

I had to stop listening due to the author’s grating voice. The info is interesting,

Great information.

I found all the information useful in this book. Definitely using the information. You should too!

easy to listen to, full of cited articles.

It takes a little bit to get used to Dr Faith's style but I soon found her easy to listen to and follow along with.
The wide range of material covered and Dr Faith's ability to bring it all together in a manner that enlightens the reader to a whole systems (holistic) approach is eye opening for the lay person who wants to have a deeper understanding of the mind-body connection without spending the endless hours of training and research.
If one takes the time to read through the entirety of the material they will find themselves walking away with a much better understanding of how the mind & body work together to achieve homeostasis for the whole person.

Amazing!!

This book was so informative and so helpful. I almost gave up on it at first because it was a bit difficult but I’m glad I kept on listening till the very end

Very informative! And encouraging.

This author never disappoints; I’ve listened to three other books by her and they are all packed with useful information about how and why our bodies and brains do what they do, and how we can better serve them. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to feel better in every sense of the word.

Let’s see if my stupid brain can take all this in! 😜

Enjoyed very much the content of this book. Really interesting stuff, seemingly well researched and hopefully will be very useful in helping me to unf**k my body 😊

I bought this on audiobook as with a manual job I find I can get through way more books this way whilst keeping myself from getting bored. I actually think I might buy this in hard copy/kindle as well just because I think a lot of it is worth revisiting and I find it difficult to do that with an audiobook.

Whilst I don’t like to criticise (after all, I have never written or narrated an audiobook) I do think the recording could do with some editing. There are multiple times where the author repeats lines and on occasion sounds bored and frustrated.

However, this hasn’t put me off this author and I think I might use my next credit to pick up one of their others.

More Awesome From Dr Faith

Great science-y science details from Dr Faith. And, she let Erin Burnett sit one out & read this book herself.

Thanks

the info about BMI blew my mind!

I liked that the author was the reader. no one else could have put her words to voice quite like it. it made it very enjoyable and relatable to read.

Will listen a second time.

I love the subject. I learned new things from this book. I will listen again. I was surprised when the book ended. This makes me want to find more books from Faith G. Harper PhD. I am looking forward to it.
