A Mind of Your Own

The Truth About Depression and How Women Can Heal Their Bodies to Reclaim Their Lives

De: Kelly Brogan M.D., Kristin Loberg

Narrado por: Cassandra Campbell

Depression is not a disease. It is a symptom.

Recent years have seen a shocking increase in antidepressant use the world over, with one in four women starting her day with medication. These drugs have steadily become the panacea for everything from grief, irritability, and panic attacks to insomnia, PMS, and stress. But the truth is, what women really need can't be found at a pharmacy.

According to Dr. Kelly Brogan, antidepressants not only overpromise and underdeliver, but their use may permanently disable the body's self-healing potential. We need a new paradigm: The best way to heal the mind is to heal the whole body.

In this groundbreaking science-based and holistic approach, Dr. Brogan shatters the mythology conventional medicine has built around the causes and treatment of depression. Based on her expert interpretation of published medical findings combined with years of experience from her clinical practice, Dr. Brogan illuminates the true cause of depression: It is not simply a chemical imbalance but a lifestyle crisis that demands a reset. It is a signal that the interconnected systems in the body are out of balance - from blood sugar to gut health to thyroid function - and inflammation is at the root.

A Mind of Your Own offers an achievable, step-by-step 30-day action plan - including powerful dietary interventions, targeted nutrient support, detoxification, sleep, and stress reframing techniques - women can use to heal their bodies, alleviate inflammation, and feel like themselves again without a single prescription.

Bold, brave, and revolutionary, A Mind of Your Own takes listeners on a journey of self-empowerment for radical transformation that goes far beyond symptom relief.

The narrator is awful

The narrator sounds haughty, know-it-all, and sarcastic. It was difficult to get through this book because of the narrator. However, the information provided is very important, so I struggled through it.

Profound!

This is the most life altering, profound, mind blowing book I have ever read. It has completely changed my life and how I will move forward in this life. I do think this is one you are going to listen to, but then want to buy the hard copy. I feel like I want to be able to study it and live by it.
Kelly Brogan is a champion among women for writing this book, with all its science behind it.
Get this book!

Bravo to the teacher

Excellent insights in the bad medicine and new found health for women and men. I can't wait to start and show off the results.

Refreshing

It’s so nice to hear real science and health principles instead of pharma propaganda. Very interesting. So glad I listened! I need to order the paper version now.

Please Read.

I was so eye opened and inspired by this book that I read it twice and bought if for all my family members, 14 copies in total. We are discussing it now and it is a very important book on health. I can not recommend it enough.

Mind, Body, and Spirit Health

Loved this book! Dr. Brogan elucidated the importance of the body's health upon the mind and spirit.

Mind. Blown.

Everyday I am talking with other woman, mothers, and friends who are struggling with depression, anxiety or some form of mental angst. This book is the answer. This is the transformative information we have been searching for. This is what our world needs to hear to shift from fear-based choices to having faith in our bodies and our gut instincts. I have never struggled with anything close to depression and found many pearls of wisdom and many immediate take-aways to start now. Please, read this book with an open mind and heart. Notice yourself feeling the truth and don't be afraid. It's a game changer. Take ownership of your health and give your body the chance to thrive!

Courageous

This is an heroic work, perhaps to heroic. Big Pharma needs to be reigned in, it's power is excessive and pervasive. I'm concerned for the practitioners who take on the
"Industry " so single handedly. Perhaps an organization of renigade professio
