The ultimate myth-busting nutrition bible. Registered dietitians Rosie Saunt and Helen West are the founders of The Rooted Project, set up to translate the latest research direct to your plate, and make evidence-based nutrition accessible and engaging. In this book, they explore everything from the danger of anecdotal evidence and unsubstantiated 'facts' about food to the real science behind the nutrients we consume every day. They explain why there's nothing to be feared from fat or carbs, or - for the vast majority of us - the much-maligned gluten, as well as probing the murky depths of the diet industry to explore the latest links between diet culture and weight stigma. They take a deep-d...
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 I learned that sociopaths are made, while psychopaths are born with a smaller amygdala that doesn’t feel anxiety or fear. I would never choose psychopathy, because I believe that it is not the answer to our exhaustion. Some anxiety is normal, and some is chemical and genetic. #2 The more people are part of the hype cycle, and the higher the stakes of performing, the more anxiety is likely to be experienced. It is to be expected. The question we must ask ourselves is: How much of our anxiety is inherent and chemical, and how much is learned and accidentally perpetuated. #3 It’s OK to have anxiety. It’s OK to get stressed. We’re human. Life is scary. But it’s also OK to try to manage your anxiety and support your mental health. The expectation that we can and should be completely curing ourselves of anxiety with just a little selfhelp can become toxic in its own way.

Reclaim your time, money, health, and happiness from our toxic diet culture with groundbreaking strategies from a registered dietitian, journalist, and host of the Food Psych podcast. 68 percent of Americans have dieted at some point in their lives. But upwards of 90% of people who intentionally lose weight gain it back within five years. And as many as 66% of people who embark on weight-loss efforts end up gaining more weight than they lost. If dieting is so clearly ineffective, why are we so obsessed with it? The culprit is diet culture, a system of beliefs that equates thinness to health and moral virtue, promotes weight loss as a means of attaining higher status, and demonizes certain wa...

From social psychologist Dr. Devon Price, a conversational, stirring call to “a better, more human way to live” (Cal Newport, New York Times bestselling author) that examines the “laziness lie”—which falsely tells us we are not working or learning hard enough. Extra-curricular activities. Honors classes. 60-hour work weeks. Side hustles. Like many Americans, Dr. Devon Price believed that productivity was the best way to measure self-worth. Price was an overachiever from the start, graduating from both college and graduate school early, but that success came at a cost. After Price was diagnosed with a severe case of anemia and heart complications from overexertion, they were forced ...
