During medical training there are certain tasks that are not taught at medical school nor in the common reference books. There are some skills that medical students are expected to learn by ‘osmosis’. These skills are never officially taught or examined in medical school, but are, however, a fundamental part of being a safe, good and efficient doctor. This book includes ‘golden rules’ or important points to remember and case examples, both of which are given as displayed extracts. This book will help the junior doctor unlock their potential and improve their performance, cutting the time it takes to achieve certain medical objectives. It is meant to fill in the gaps where the medical school and clinical guides stop. It gives the reader the information needed to organise themselves so that they can hit the ground running. It is not intended as a clinical survival guide, but more a friendly hand to allow the reader to get ahead in medicine and how to keep on track and develop a career path.

Being a physician is an amazing privilege, and it can be a deeply rewarding career...but first you have to get through medical school.

Despite remarkable insight regarding our understanding of metabolism and physiology, astounding advances in fitness technology and the availability of countless so-called revolutionary diets and fitness programs, each promising immediate and sustained success, relatively few individuals seem to achieve and maintain their intended goals. In fact, data continues to suggest the prevalence of obesity, the world's "other pandemic," and recently overshadowed but quietly accelerated by the COVID-19 crisis, continues to rise. The future combined impact on the overall health and prosperity of society as we enter the dawn of the "new normal" raises many valid questions and concerns. The stakes may have never been higher to start finding some answers. As opposed to targeting a small subset of young, highly motivated, advanced fitness enthusiasts, as many current popular programs seem to do, It's All in Your Head was written with the rest of us in mind. Rather than another "how to" manual, it is a "why to" inspirational guide and navigational tool in what has become the complex space of fitness and nutrition. Join me on a retrospective, psychological journey back to the origins of the unhealthy behavior patterns defining who we have become and explaining why we struggle to achieve our health and fitness goals. Incorporating a basic understanding of the fundamental principles universal to every successful diet and fitness program in existence, and learning how to develop adequate self-motivation skills, doors to previously unrecognized potential and the ability to reach and sustain success are unlocked as fitness dreams become reality.
