The Self-Care Solution

A Year of Becoming Happier, Healthier, and Fitter--One Month at a Time

De: Jennifer Ashton

Narrado por: Jennifer Ashton

ABC’s chief medical correspondent helps you ring in the New Year right with a resolution that’s actually doable: a year-long plan to improve your emotional and physical health - from giving up alcohol to doing a digital detox, but each for only one month.

Dr. Jennifer Ashton is at the top of her field as an ob-gyn and news correspondent. But even at the top there’s still room to improve, and with The Self-Care Solution, she upends her life one month at a time, using her own experiences to help you improve your health and enhance your life.

Dr. Ashton becomes both researcher and subject as she focuses on twelve separate challenges. Beginning with a new area of focus each month, she guides you through the struggles she faces, the benefits she experiences, and the science behind why each month’s challenge - giving up alcohol, doing more push-ups, adopting an earlier bedtime, limiting technology - can lead to better health.

Month by month, Dr. Ashton tackles a different area of wellness with the hope that the lessons she learns and the improved health she experiences will motivate her (and you) to make each change permanent. Throughout, she offers easy-to-comprehend health information about the particular challenge to help you understand its benefits and to stick with it. Whether it’s adding cardio or learning how to meditate, Dr. Ashton makes these daily lifestyle choices and changes feel possible - and shows how beneficial a mindful lifestyle can be.

Inspiring, practical, and informative, The Self-Care Solution teaches you how to recalibrate your life to enjoy a better, healthier year, one month at a time. Featuring guidance from top experts, entertaining case studies, easy-to-follow advice and tips, and Dr. Ashton’s observations and insights, this audiobook can help you achieve a better life balance and a more active and healthy lifestyle.

Everything was excellent

I learned alot and am motivated by this program. I enjoyed Dr Ashton speaking also.

LOVED it!

Such an easy listen. Love the breakdown of each monthly challenge, the personal reasons for & experiences in the challenges, science-based benefits/information, as well as the practical application tips for listeners. Fantastic book!

I really needed this book! it simple and easy read

Well written and easy to follow. I appreciate your transparency, Dr. Jen! Much love ❤️

A new outlook on healthy habits

I enjoyed this book so much that I am doing the monthly challenges. I read the book in January and started my first months challenge with a month of hydration beginning February. I'm planning to continue a challenge every month for a year. Do your body good by simply doing month long challenges.

Will listen to again. Great book

I truly enjoyed this book. Learned a lot and I’m looking forward to incorporating many of the suggestions she shared to living a healthier and happier life. I hope a second book soon follows!

Loved it!!!

I liked that each month there was a new challenge. I loved that she summarized easy to reminders at end of each challenge.

Inspiring

I fully enjoyed this book and am inspired to follow Dr Ashton's experience. There is plenty of research showing us why we should make certain changes and adopt new habits, but how do you start? Where do you start? I found that this book answered my questions. You start small. One change for one month. I already started my January challenge, which is different than the author's, but it's meaningful to me. I'm looking forward to forming better habits this year.

life changing

I couldn't stop listening
Jennifer's knowledge and suggestions make me feel like I can do it. Starting month 1 immediately

KISS-Keep It Simple Sweetie!

The theme that spoke to me the most throughout this book or guide I should say, is don’t over-complicate it. Making simple changes and incorporating healthier choices into your daily life one month at a time IS doable for everyone. Creating better self-care habits is a journey of loving ourselves and I loved how encouraged I felt to take action to inspire my own challenges for better health and wellness. Thank you for this book and its laid back perspective on improving one’s self.

This book inspired me, now to start month 1!

loved the book, can't wait to start my 12 month journey. mine might not all be the same. I never knew the benefits to meditate even my husband was listening and thought he would give it a try too!
