Summary

A 30-day program for reaching a new level of energy, clarity, and calm, based on a paradigm shifting idea: You have to change your body to change your mind and mood。

Too often, conventional medicine treats the body as separate from the mind, ignoring physical issues like chronic illness and weight gain。 Science shows that these issues are oftentimes intricately entwined with mood issues like depression, anxiety, stress, and persistent fatigue。

In State Change, Dr。 Berzin draws on cutting-edge research and her work with thousands of patients to tell the complete story of how our bodies drive our minds, mood, and energy levels。 This builds on her work at her nationally renowned holistic health service Parsley Health, where Dr。 Berzin and her team of over 100 highly trained medical providers focus on treating the whole patient, yielding extraordinary results for those dealing with gastrointestinal, hormone-related, autoimmune, and mental health conditions。

This trailblazing book explores the new science of optimizing the body in ways that will help anyone attain a new baseline for energy, calm, and optimism。 Dr。 Berzin believes that treating common imbalances in the body is the only way to achieve what she calls a state change—a transformation to higher levels of mental focus, emotional stability, and flow。

Leveraging Parsley’s unique patient data and successful proprietary protocols, State Change includes a 30-day program for resetting the body, mind, and mood。 With easy-to-understand advice and detailed personalized assessments, State Change is the ultimate gateway to a positive mental state and peak physical health。

Accessible and manageable for most any lifestyle。 Affordable and conscientious, not so much。 Things I liked: A breakdown of healthy eating habits where it counts, taking it incrementally, understanding where the biggest impacts can be made; same for exercise plans - starting small and increasing over time so as to avoid 0 to 60 burnout; key supplements worth taking and why - so you can pick what may be best for you; technology fasts - addressing phone addiction and negative self esteem issues du Accessible and manageable for most any lifestyle。 Affordable and conscientious, not so much。 Things I liked: A breakdown of healthy eating habits where it counts, taking it incrementally, understanding where the biggest impacts can be made; same for exercise plans - starting small and increasing over time so as to avoid 0 to 60 burnout; key supplements worth taking and why - so you can pick what may be best for you; technology fasts - addressing phone addiction and negative self esteem issues due to social media; promotion of energy healing as it benefits you - whatever that may be: massage, reiki, acupunctureThings I'd approach with caution: There is an overwhelming amount of privilege here。 My assumption while reading was that this kind of "functional healthcare" or holistic healthcare is for the wealthy, predominantly white middle, upper class。 After googling the author and her clinic, it does look like a spa, and she's featured in and alongside other medical professionals who pair up with Goop - so take that for what you will。 I think anyone can gain insight into basic mind/body health here, but it will not be just anyone (myself included) who can afford to regularly purchase the diet Berzin recommends or the pharmaceutical grade supplements, let alone membership to her clinic。 And for advertising a "whole person" holistic approach to healthcare, she doesn't address the very real toll that racism, sexism, and homophobia play in terms of mental and physical health as well as access to healthcare in general。 Some red flags: While mentioning covid-19 and its impact on mental health in several parts of the book, she never addressed vaccines。 I was curious where she and the other doctors she cites as medical sources for patient care and information stood on the topics around the pandemic。 It was VERY hard to find ANYTHING about it。 Several of them, the author included, had general posts promoting Vitamin D, getting more sleep, and creating an exercise regime to combat health and mood issues during the pandemic, but none of them stated their vaccine stance outright。 Given we're all living year 2 of the pandemic, I think that would be crucial information to include, if not in the book, then at least somewhere on their platform! Since there was a strong lack of anything, and an overwhelming amount of publicity to weed through (paid content), I was disheartened by an obvious choice to be obscure here。 It's a business just as much as it is a clinic, but that took away from the "we see you as a whole person" messaging and felt more about branding and making money。 Additionally, I've seen other readers advise caution, and I would agree, that for anyone who's faced an eating disorder, the paleo and keto diet recommendations could be triggering。 There's some language that could be deemed as anti-prescription drugs for mental health, and she offers a few disclaimers for that, but it's one more area to read with caution if you take such drugs and find they help you。 As with any health and wellness book, take what helps you and leave the rest。 Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

I enjoyed a lot of the foundations of this book and the research behind it。 I agree with the principles of making sure your body is functioning optimally for your brain。 However, she takes it too far and gets into indirectly encouraging eating disorders by supporting paleo and keto diets。 Research shows that Mediterranean (blue zone) is the best for you

I took a lot of notes while reading this。 As someone with hashimotos and anxiety, this was extremely eye opening in the different ways I can take charge of my health and wellness。 I now plan to start some of these suggestions presented in this book and I’m very excited about it。 The author was relatable and gave so many different examples and solid plans。Thank you to the publisher and author for the ARC of this book!
