Publisher's Summary

Depression is not a disease. It is a symptom.

Recent years have seen a shocking increase in antidepressant use the world over, with one in four women starting her day with medication. These drugs have steadily become the panacea for everything from grief, irritability, and panic attacks to insomnia, PMS, and stress. But the truth is, what women really need can't be found at a pharmacy.

According to Dr. Kelly Brogan, antidepressants not only overpromise and underdeliver, but their use may permanently disable the body's self-healing potential. We need a new paradigm: The best way to heal the mind is to heal the whole body.

In this groundbreaking science-based and holistic approach, Dr. Brogan shatters the mythology conventional medicine has built around the causes and treatment of depression. Based on her expert interpretation of published medical findings combined with years of experience from her clinical practice, Dr. Brogan illuminates the true cause of depression: It is not simply a chemical imbalance but a lifestyle crisis that demands a reset. It is a signal that the interconnected systems in the body are out of balance - from blood sugar to gut health to thyroid function - and inflammation is at the root.

A Mind of Your Own offers an achievable, step-by-step 30-day action plan - including powerful dietary interventions, targeted nutrient support, detoxification, sleep, and stress reframing techniques - women can use to heal their bodies, alleviate inflammation, and feel like themselves again without a single prescription.

Bold, brave, and revolutionary, A Mind of Your Own takes listeners on a journey of self-empowerment for radical transformation that goes far beyond symptom relief.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Insightful and enlightening

Dr.Brogan sheds some serious light onto the unspoken side of pharmaceuticals. The book serves as an informational tool and then as a guideline to retrieve one's health.
The narration is easy to listen to, although some parts might be better understood if read.

Eye opening and good common sense

I really enjoyed this book for getting down to the basics. Before you go taking pills for nothing, maybe make sure you have diet, sleep and exercise right. That said, there were so many things to do, that it felt overwhelming. And it felt to me like all were equally important. But maybe that’s just what I took from it. Probably should listen to it again. For example, are coffee enemas really necessary? I feel like this went too far.
For a good complement on the social root of depression, still echoing the failures of medication, read Lost Connections by Johann Hari.

The book is amazing

Content was great but the narrator of the audio book

was awful at pronunciation of the more technical language. It really affected my ability to focus on the content. Please don't have her narrating medical content in the future.
