Having extensively studied neuroscience, hormones, genetics, as well as alternative therapies such as homeopathy, acupuncture and herbs, she presents the reader with a truly integrated approach. And while the book cannot take the place of a personal consultation with Dr. Jeffers, it is packed with practical knowledge regarding everything from shopping, cooking, food storage, to incorporating essential physical habits into your life, interval training, weight lifting, and preventing injury, that everyone can benefit from. In addition, she addresses the mental aspects of weight management, including stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, and addiction, with effective treatments.About the AuthorDr. Jeffers started out as a classically trained allopathic physician, completed residency training in Internal Medicine and became board certified.
