Susan Birch: The Health Detective's Handbook, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Are you tired of diets that promise results but leave you stuck in the same cycle?

Many people struggle to eat well, stay active, manage their weight, and feel good in their own body. The problem isn't always a lack of discipline. Often, it's a lack of understanding - about metabolism, hormones, blood sugar, appetite, stress, sleep, muscle, and how the body responds to food and exercise.

In The Health Detective's Handbook, Susan Birch draws on over 40 years of experience in nutrition, exercise, coaching, and health education to explain how the body works in a clear, practical, and engaging way.

This isn't a quick-fix diet book. It's a guide to understanding your body, asking better questions, and making changes that fit your real life. Susan helps you: Understand why diets often fail and how to break free from the cycle. Learn how metabolism, hormones, blood sugar, muscle, sleep, and stress influence health. Build a way of eating that supports energy, appetite control, and long-term wellbeing. Use exercise to improve strength, resilience, and metabolic health. Create a personalised plan based on your own goals, capacity, and stage of life.

The book includes 17 real-life case stories, including Susan's own journey. These stories show how people have navigated weight plateaus, fatigue, diabetes, low energy, brain fog, and loss of confidence by learning how to work with their body rather than against it. With warmth, humour, practical wisdom, and the curiosity of a detective, Susan shows you how to take better care of your body so it can support you through every stage of life.

The Health Detective's Handbook is a practical, evidence-informed guide for anyone who wants to understand their health, make sense of the confusion, and build lasting change.
