Sometimes the path to radical transformation begins small, not by losing twenty pounds or meditating for hours but by making the choice to try something good for you-just for one month-to see how it makes you feel. This was the basic idea Dr. Jennifer Ashton had one January that evolved into a year-long journey to sample and understand how different areas of wellness affected her well-being. An OB-GYN and ABC's chief medical correspondent, Dr. Ashton had always been on the lookout for medically backed strategies for self-improvement that really worked-and were easy to implement. She designed an innovative wellness experiment of her own, in which she was both researcher and subject, to understand how just one adjustment to her lifestyle each month could have a profound impact on her mental and physical health. With this plan, each month poses a different challenge-meditating, reducing sugar intake, doing more push-ups, limiting technology, and more-as Dr. Ashton guides you through the struggles she faces, the benefits she experiences, and the science behind the challenge. Featuring easy-to-understand health information behind these daily lifestyle choices. Dr. Ashton shows how beneficial a more mindful lifestyle can be. With these month-long challenges, Dr. Ashton demonstrates how bite-size self-improvement can have lasting results, as the month-by-month plan makes a lifestyle focused on self-care possible. Inspiring you to become the catalyst for your own positive change. The Self-Care Solution is an empowering and practical guide to rethinking holistic wellness and to making lasting change each month that can serve you throughout the year. Book jacket.
