Synopsis

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 Unfuck 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!

Goodreads review by Veronica on November 01, 2022

There was a lot here, I am glad that I read it and I am better for it but it was a lot of ideas briefly talked about. She goes over deep breathing, sleeping, mantras, exercise, eating and a bunch of other things that help you with stress. She has data to back up how important and useful these items......more

Goodreads review by Ace on November 02, 2022

A fine summary on body and brain science as it relates to chronic conditions & illness. Full of mistakes and typos. The chronic pain science stuff wasn’t quite accurate. There were dozens of typos, including the word “service” instead of “surface”, which leads me to believe the book was dictated, no......more
