Publisher's summary

The multiple New York Times best-selling author and Harvard-MIT educated women’s health expert delivers a revolutionary 40-day program to reconnect the brain and body to prevent and reverse the myriad symptoms and diseases afflicting millions of women.

Do you struggle to lose weight or to fall and stay asleep at night?

Do you feel lethargic and a depressed?

Do you endure irregularity or other digestive problems?

Do you want to feel better and happier and to maximize your health and longevity?

Dr. Sara Gottfried has the answer. Your health problems, she reveals, are in your head - caused by a malfunction in the connection between your brain and your body. Brain health is a powerful indicator of overall health and well-being. While our thoughts can affect our physical health, what we do to our body also has a lasting impact on our brains. When you ignore your brain-body symptoms, you raise your risk of serious cognitive decline, which leads to chronic health problems. It’s a vicious cycle, but it can be broken, Gottfried argues. In Brain Body Diet she shows how brain body health is the key to reversing a myriad of chronic symptoms - empowering you to live up to our potential and achieve the lasting health you desire.

The relationship between the body and the brain is necessary to function at our best today and for the rest of our lives. Designed for the female brain - which is different from the male brain - her breakthrough protocol will help you lose weight, get off harmful prescription medications, boost energy and mental functioning, and alleviate depression and anxiety in less than six weeks. Filled with incredible success stories, the most up-to-date scientific research, and the rich insights that are the hallmarks of her previous bestsellers, Brain Body Diet will completely change the way you look at your life and help you achieve total body health.

What all women need to hear

Thank you for this book Sarah. It is exactly what I needed to hear. I look forward to following the protocol.

Technical

Body and blood work tests would be hard to get from doctor so many of the corrections seemed to require specific testing. I agree with some of the information presented.

Excellent content, narrator a hard no

Really enjoyed listening to the content of this well written book when I wasn't bothered by the narrator's voice sounding like Siri.

Change in approach - At last!!!

Very little medical research has been devoted to women over 40!Dr Gottfried has taken her western medical training & combined it with functional medicine to really explore & find solutions to the real changes facing women as we age. Now, I have to say i am a bit overwhelmed by the daunting list of things to do daily or weekly- and I do find some of it undoable with my career and demands on my life, but something to strive towards. Diet changes are possible but hours of daily meditation & yoga might make it challenging. I am so glad she has at least started this conversation!!

Great Information

Great information. video will read it again and again. Love the diet I have started to eat healthy.

Good content. Narration made me very anxious

This was a great book, addressing common issues most women have faced. I had to give it 4 stars instead of 5 because the narration was so poor. If you are narrating a medical book, I would expect one to check on the pronunciations. As a medical professional, this book was filled with so many mispronunciations that I often had to turn it off and take a break. There was even an inconsistency between the pronunciation of the same words from one section of the book to the next. The narration was also very mechanical, which is not appealing, but not as annoying as the mispronounced words. Nevertheless, the book is good, I recommend it.

Notes and narration (and footnotes in the book)

Overall, I loved the book content. The narration was a bit unsettling at times because the narrator is so articulate it almost doesn't sound like normal speech. Also, the author refers to "notes" many times but I can't recall an explanation of where to find those notes. For example, in Chapter 2 when she mentioned eating the rainbow, she refers to "Notes' to help you accomplish that task. I've downloaded and reviewed the PDF, but it still isn't apparent. Also, there are a lot of footnote references (example on p. 63 are footnote references 27, 28 & 29) in the book, but I don't find the actual footnotes. Would love assistance on locating both notes in the enhancement and footnotes in the book. Thanks,
