EAT YOUR WAY TO HEALTH by Liza Baker

oes one or more of these statements feel true for you? •
Life is good—except when it’s terrible.
•
You’re starting to feel unhealthy— perhaps in a specific way, perhaps just as a vague sense of unease.
•
You have a million obligations to others, you have no clue how to accomplish everything, and there’s just no way you can focus on your health until the to-do list is to-done.
•
And guess what? Now your parents need parenting!
•
You’re exhausted—but only
ALL. THE. TIME.

THE WITNESS PROTECTION PROGRAM DIET
The bad news: you won’t find it where you’re looking.
Perhaps you’re starting to think that the only way out of the overwhelm involves a plane ticket, a wad of cash, and a change of identity?
The good news: you are not broken. In fact, you are exactly where you are supposed to be right now given your genetics, your environment, and the food and lifestyle choices you’ve made so far.
I call this the witness protection program diet. How else are you going to get everyone to leave you alone long enough to practice even a few minutes of self care?
If you are genetically predisposed to something—take heart! Your choices can turn those genes on or off. And if you can change your choices, you can get healthy—and stay that way.
So you’re broken and you’re looking for the fix. Surely there’s a silver bullet, a magic supplement, a diet, a detox, a workout, a woo practice—something that will fix it all.
HOW TO EAT™ YOUR WAY TO HEALTH Getting healthy does not have to include what we think of as self care: yoga, gym
