"New York Times bestselling author and Harvard-MIT educated women's health expert, Sara Gottfried, M.D., delivers a revolutionary program to prevent and reverse the myriad symptoms and diseases that result from an unhealthy connection between the brain and the body"-- Provided by publisher.

"While we often think of weight gain, anxiety, digestive trouble, and disease prevention as separate issues, these and other minor and chronic symptoms are actually the result of one root cause: a malfunction in the connection between the brain and the body. For the first time, America's most trusted women's health physician, Dr. Sara Gottfried, offers cutting-edge science and practical prescriptions to restore the critical signals between brain and body systems. Designed for the female brain--which is medically unique from the male brain--the breakthrough protocol in the Brain Body Diet will help you: change the set point in the brain that makes it difficult to lose weight; clear out toxins that generate negative habits and obsessions, and that increase your risk of cognitive impairment; recover the gray matter lost from pregnancy and/or excess alcohol; regain and stabilize mental health and prevent burnout, depression, and anxiety; solve sleep issues; and reclaim the balance in your gut flora that prevents inflammation, autoimmunity, and weight gain. 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 is the solution you have been searching for and the key to achieving lasting health."--Dust jacket.
