Brain Body Diet Audiobook Summary

The multiple New York Times bestselling 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.

I won an Uncorrected Proof of Brain Body Diet: 40 Days to a Lean, Calm, Energized, and Happy Self by Sara Gottfried, M.D. from Goodreads.Readers, especially women, who suffer from depression, weight gain, and other chronic conditions may want to try the protocols outlined in Brain Body Diet: 40 Days to a Lean, Calm, En, and Happy Self by Sara Gottfried, MD. The book describes in wonderful detail how the brain and body are connected: how toxins in the gut, for example, impair the brain. Symptoms, causes, and solutions to physical difficulties are explored in the easy-to-follow narrative. Sidebars, charts, and experiences of real-life patients are employed to enhance the reader's understanding.Dr. Gottfried goes into great detail as she outlines the protocols she uses with her patients to help them detoxify their "brain body" and improve their health.Personally, I appreciated the extensive details concerning various toxins, where they are found in the environment, how they enter the body, and the damage they can inflict. I also appreciated much of the advice on, for example, which foods and other natural sources to consume in order to address specific toxins. However, I am not a fan of taking supplements which, to me, are a different type of drug and unnatural, and I admit that the author's listing of supplements to take as part of the protocols totalling turned me off of the program.Many readers may find help for their personal difficulties by reading Brain Body Diet and following the protocols.

I read a lot of health and diet books. I liked the different spin on this one - the inclusion of the “brain connection,” including neurotransmitters, genetics, etc made me learn a lot

Informative book. One of the few I have read that addresses females.

There is so much information here. I think ithe book is designed for you to skim and concentrate on the parts that relate to you. The biological terms won't stick for me, but I will remember that I was convinced enough to accept the brain body premise.I was horrified reading the section on toxins. It's enough to make you want to live in a bubble! ... but not a plastic one. A good scare is probably the only thing that will shake me into changing my lifeatyle habits, so I appreciate the harsh wakeup.My main takeaway is that the brain is 2% of our body mass, but consumes 20% of our oxygen, blood, and nutrients. What we feed our body directly affects our brain. Our brain is a physical organ that has complete control over our entire body and thought processes. Good food equals good brain. Good brain equals good body. Good body equals good life.Of course, in addition to a healthy diet, Dr Gottfried also emphasizes low stress, exercise, and spiritual well-being. I am a spiritual person, but I found the amount of focus she put on neurospirituality (particularly Kundalini yoga) a little extreme for a medical book. But what do I know? That's why I'm reading this!

So many good tips on how a healthy mind and body help one another function better. I'm a nutrition student so I love the topic and believe that we call all improve from it advice. A few more easy recipes for nutrition benefits would hve been great to see.

Good stuff, very useful, despite a bit too much science for my anxious mind.

Great information as always, but be warned, it could be triggering for people who have had or who have an eating disorder. I found myself reading this thinking it was quite restrictive and could see it being a trigger. I felt it was important to write that here.

Dit is niet zomaar een dieet boek!“Het Brein Body Dieet” van Sara Gottfried: Dit is niet zomaar een dieet boek! Het geeft heel veel inzicht hoe je ‘lijf en brein’ gezond kunt maken en een gezond gewicht kunt bereiken en vooral kunt behouden!Inhoud:Dit dieetboek gaat verder dan andere dieetboeken: het laat zien waar overgewicht vandaan komt, hoe het ontstaat en vooral wat je eraan kan doen om tot een gezond gewicht te komen. Aan de orde komt hoe belangrijk je brein en je darmen zijn, hoe we allerlei ontstekingen ontwikkelen en hoe dit van belang is voor ons lichaam en gewicht.Het Brein Body Dieet helpt je om in 40 dagen tijd je energieker te voelen en gezonder te worden om je vervolgens een gezond gewicht te laten verkrijgen. In dit boek gaat het niet om calorieën tellen. Iedereen denkt dat afvallen een kwestie is van minder eten en meer bewegen. Maar waarom faalt dan 98% van de diëten?Dit boek helpt je uitzoeken hoe je je lichaamsgewicht – setpoint kunt verlagen maar ook hoe belangrijk slaap en ontspanning bijvoorbeeld zijn. Het gaat om het geheel: je brein en je body in balans.Persoonlijke Leeservaring:Laat ik met de deur in huis vallen: ik vond Het Brein Body Dieet een super interessant boek! Door een arts geschreven en voor leken zoals ik, heel goed leesbaar! Al kon het hier en daar best iets beknopter. Er wordt niet zomaar iets geschreven, het gaat ook niet over één of andere hype. Er worden diverse studies aangehaald en dus onderbouwd. Het maakt onder andere duidelijk dat het brein, van alle organen, de grootste rol in je lichaam speelt, als het aankomt op metabolisme. Het voedsel dat je eet heeft het potentieel om allereerst je darmen te helpen of te beschadigen, daarna je brein en als laatste de rest van je lichaam. Kortom het is erg belangrijk wat je zoal eet en van welke kwaliteit het is. Verder wordt er uitgelegd wat intermettent fasting inhoudt en wat dit doet voor je body en brein.Overeten kan je dik maken maar is niet de enige factor. Ondanks drastische veranderingen van in voedselinname van dag tot dag, blijft bij de meeste mensen het gewicht op korte termijn relatief stabiel.En dit klopt natuurlijk wel: het is niet zo dat, als we een keer heel veel eten, we kilo’s aankomen, of als we heel weinig eten, veel afvallen. Diëten leidt wel tot gewichtsverlies, maar meestal niet blijvend! Dit komt gedeeltelijk door een stofwisseling die trager wordt en een toenemend honger gevoel. Wanneer je door frustratie over je gewicht wilt opgeven moet je een aantal dingen in je achterhoofd houden: Het ligt niet alleen aan jou of aan gebrek aan wilskracht! Het is een brein-body disconnectie. Onderliggende factoren van je lichaamsgewicht-setpoint : 1 genetica, 2 hormonen, 3 gedrag, 4 omgeving.Het boek beschrijft, soms tot in detail, hoe één en ander werkt in je lijf en geeft je tools om je gewicht beter te beheersen en vooral ook om je lijf op te schonen van toxische stoffen, die je ziek kunnen maken en je setpoint omhoog brengen. Ben ik het overal mee eens? Nee, niet helemaal. Sommige dingen vind ik nogal ver gaan, maar ik denk dat iedereen veel inzicht krijgt middels dit boek hoe één en ander in je brein en body werkt. Daarnaast kan je je voordeel doen om je body en brein in een gezonde balans te brengen. Wat zeker zal bijdragen aan een gezond gewicht in een gezond lijf!
