| Summary |
The human brain resists change--only when we learn the secrets of how to get our brain to work for us, not against us, can we make healthy, permanent lifestyle changes. Dr. Kelly Traver teaches us what those secrets are and shows us how to use them in this mind-expanding and waistline-shrinking system for getting into shape and staying that way. By combining cutting-edge discoveries in neuroscience with the latest information in medicine, nutrition, and fitness, Dr. Traver developed The Program and initially tested it on her patients, ranging in age from 20 to 81, with excellent results in weight loss, reduction in blood sugar levels of diabetics, lowering blood pressure, and quitting smoking. The Program can put you in the driver's seat of your health.--From publisher description. |
