The Nine Shifts

How many times have we heard the worn-out advice "eat less and move more" as a way of changing our body?Traditional approaches that only focus on diet or exercise often fail to deliver long-term results. That's because they do not account for the mental, physical, and external obstacles that can derail us from staying consistent with our habits.Accordingly, challenges such as emotional eating, a lack of motivation, an aging body, or life obligations can prevent us from maintaining the body and health we desire. It's no wonder then that 90% of diets fail and 92% of New Year's Resolutions go unmet.By taking a mind-first, comprehensive approach to optimizing one's body, The Nine Shifts empowers readers to achieve a true, lasting transformation.

Then, they are taught The Nine Shifts to make in the areas of mindset, metabolism, and momentum-via a clear framework and nine detailed action plans-to overcome their challenges and achieve a lasting mind-body transformation.In an era where 70% of Americans are either overweight or obese, The Nine Shifts delivers an "inside-out approach" to ending this common struggle.
