Unf--k Your Body

Using Science to Eat, Sleep, Breathe, Move, and Feel Better

By: Faith G. Harper

Narrated by: Faith G. Harper PhD

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!

Grating voice

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

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.

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.

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

harder to get through, but worth it

I found it kind of hard to follow the science then in some of the other books in the series, but once you make it past the first couple of chapters there's some really good information
