The Health myths we swallowed whole.
Low fat. High protein. Five a day. Follow the science. You know the script.
And yet somehow the advice that has been repeated for several decades hasn't produced a nation of thriving, energised, healthy people. Funny, that.

Chew On This is a straight-talking dismantling of the pervasive myths that have been keeping us confused, dependent, and disconnected from the one source of health intelligence that was always available: our own bodies.

These are the myths that have caused you to suffer with chronic dieting, frustrating ongoing symptoms and decreased enjoyment of life.
Chew on This! was developed from the introductory presentations of the Body Wisdom Way.
It can be used as a taster to the full course, or as a standalone book.
It is not intended as medical advice but rather to liberate you from it.
