A nurturing guide to whole-body health that completely integrates traditional Eastern and modern Western healing practices.
By combining a 5,000-year history rooted in time-tested, ancient traditions with cutting-edge science, Dr. Chiti Parikh, executive director of the Integrative Health and Wellbeing Program at New York-Presbyterian Hospital and a clinical professor at Weill Cornell Medical College, provides the steps you can take to bring your body into a lasting state of balance and live a longer life with more energy, less pain, and renewed confidence.
No matter where you are along your health journey, Dr. Chiti will help you achieve balance by letting you in on seven ancient secrets from circadian rhythms to the mind-body connection to digestive fire. With Dr. Chiti's guidance, you too can become intentionally healthy by:
• Setting a positive health intention and visualizing how you'd like to feel • Diving into ancient health principles • Engaging in a 28-day vitality regimen to jump-start your journey to optimal health • Becoming equipped with the knowledge to identify imbalances as soon as they occur
After all, health is not the mere absence of disease. Health is living a life full of energy and manifesting your true potential, with your body as your best ally. “Intentional Health” offers a clear road map for self-regulating our biology for optimal health and longevity. What was once considered alternative medicine is now supported by advances in epigenetics and neuroplasticity. Our conscious choices and habits of thinking, feeling, and behavior can restore healing and make chronic illness optional. This book is an excellent guide for anyone seeking a joyful, energetic body, healthy emotions, clear mind, and lightness of being.
