Hello new book 👋🏻
.
Pretty Unhealthy is going to hit in September and I am thrilled and nervous. I want this book to be a conversation starter, to help everyone think critically about what we’re told about our health and our bodies, especially online. I want this book and the discussions it prompts to take a stake to the heart of everything that pretends to be good for us but isn’t.
.
You can pre-order already (eep) from Booktopia here:...

I’ll put up some more pre-order links for the UK and US as they come to hand.
.
Huge thanks to all the wonderful people who helped make this a reality.

“Today, we're more likely to die from a lifestyle disease than any other cause, and many of these would be preventable if we took better care of our health. Enter a vast wellness industry that has emerged in recent years, making big money promoting 'healthy' lifestyles. Except the aim isn't to make your body work better: it's to make your body look better.
.
Equipped with Instagram accounts or wellness blogs, each health advocate leads an army of people towards what is labelled 'health' but might actually be far from it. We are obsessed with body transformation and fitspiration, but the wrong advice is making us poor, tired and pretty unhealthy instead.
.
Pretty Unhealthy is a call to reclaim the definition of true health: to aim for bodies that are resilient to disease and can do everything we need them to do; and for us to feel emotionally happy in those bodies.”

It means that she is delayed to get life-saving or life-changing treatment - It’s up to us all to know the signs of heart disease: short of breath, lethargy, pain in the chest or arm, back or jaw and get checked out - #womenshearts #canyoudieofabrokenheart #ilooklikeasurgeon
