Winning The Inside Battle Of Wellness

Statistically, best-selling author and doctor Ben Lerner should have ended up like his parents–sick, addicted to nicotene and dead of a heart attack or stroke by the time he hit middle age. But from an early age he saw the consequences of poor health choices and made a commitment not to follow in their footsteps.

“It is neither genes nor upbringing that makes the difference,” he writes. “It’s choice. You don’t have to win a battle of evolution to be healthy.”

In Winning the Inside Battle of Wellness, Dr. Ben guides readers on a journey toward total health–mind, body and spirit. Instead of immediately tackling diet, he begins with the mind, uncovering how eating and lifestyle habits can shape the way our brain develops–and how we can harness those same forces to become healthier.
Next, Dr. Ben explores how our personalities and emotional health can impact our wellness and offers practical tools for deeper self-awareness, reshaping the way we think and respond to our environment and relationships. Finally, he addresses the biological impact of various foods and activities on our bodies and offers a roadmap for transforming the way we eat–tricking our bodies into craving the foods that will ensure a long and healthy life.
Complete with dietary charts, exercise plans, recipes and practical tips, Winning the Inside Battle of Wellness will help you overcome the challenges that stand between you and a healthy, fulfilling lifestyle.
