The Prime: Prepare and Repair Your Body for Spontaneous Weight Loss

Description

Integrative neurologist Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary teaches readers how to prime their bodies as well as heal their minds and guts so that weight loss is spontaneous. Dr. Chaudhary discovered a beautiful side effect to the eating and lifestyle tools she gave her brain patients-shedding excess pounds. In this, her first book, she shows readers that weight gain is a result of the body being in a toxic, inflammatory state. If your body is not prepared for weight loss, you will fight a biochemical uphill battle, and the odds of succeeding are slim. Once you reduce the toxic load and bolster your natural detoxification systems, the body's own fat-loss and weight-maintenance systems kick in. After priming the body (without giving up anything you love) and making a few additions to your diet, you'll be able to shed the weight and transform your health.

DR. KULREET CHAUDHARY is a neurologist, and the director of Wellspring Health at Scripps Memorial Hospital and a pioneer in the field of integrative medicine. She received her internship in internal medicine at UCLA and her neurology fellowship from UCSD. Her research includes groundbreaking work in stem cell therapies for diabetic peripheral neuropathy and drug development for the treatment of ALS. She is the co-founder of Habit Change, and she is committed to bringing national awareness to the need for a paradigm shift in medicine that focuses on patient empowerment and a health-based medical system.
