A "compassionate, authoritative, and wise" (Mark Hyman, MD, New York Times bestselling author of The Pegan Diet) 30-day program that "will shift the way you think about your body and your health" (Gabrielle Bernstein, #1 New York Times bestselling author and international speaker) based on a paradigm-shifting idea: You have to change your body to change your mind and mood.
Prescription for Happiness offers a 30-day program for reaching a new level of energy, clarity, and calm. Too often, conventional medicine treats the mind as separate from the body. However, science shows that physical issues, such as chronic illness and weight fluctuation, are oftentimes intricately entwined with mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, fatigue, and more. This must-read book explores the new science of optimizing the body in ways that will help anyone attain a new baseline for energy, calm, and optimism.

Dr. Berzin draws on cutting-edge research and her work with thousands of patients to tell the complete story of how our physical health influences our energy level, mood, focus, and emotional wellbeing. This builds on her work at her nationally renowned holistic health service Parsley Health, where Dr. Berzin and her team of over 100 highly trained medical providers focus on treating the whole patient, yielding extraordinary results for those dealing with gastrointestinal, hormone-related, autoimmune, and mental health conditions. Leveraging Parsley's unique patient data and successful proprietary protocols, Prescription for Happiness is the ultimate gateway to creating your new baseline for peak physical and mental health.

      “A more impassioned, empowered, energetic, and healthier life is possible, no matter who you are,” writes Berzin, a doctor and founder of holistic health start-up Parsley Health, in her spirited debut. Berzin aims to foster a greater mind-body connection—convenience, technology, and overconsumption (namely, of sugar), she suggests, have all created barriers to a healthy life. Berzin’s route of getting brains and bodies back in sync is focused on instances she calls “state changes,” which are moments of “setting a new normal” and finding a baseline of happiness. Berzin supplies tools to achieve these moments, offering ways to eat healthier (eat a lot of plants and cut back on processed food), asking questions to foster a better understanding of one’s body (“When did you last feel well?”), providing tips to combat technology addiction (set a one-hour time limit for social media), recommending meditation, and even dispensing info on psychedelic therapy. Things culminate in her 30-day “Plan to Reset Your Mind and Mood,” which involves vitamins, exercise, and plenty of sleep. Berzin’s tips are practical, and she doesn’t skimp on details. Readers feeling burned out will find this a balm.
