Unfuck Your Wellness

Debunk the junk and get healthy with remedies that work Learn to discern between science-backed health strategies and harmful health scams from Microcosm's bestselling author. Dr. Faith Harper, author of books like Unfuck Your Brain and Unfuck Your Body, explores popular alternative treatments like sound healing, mindfulness and meditation, and herbal supplements. She applies the rules of scientific inquiry to each one, asking key questions like: What science do we have? What should we look out for? How do we discern quality? Which claims have merit, which might be possible, and which are ridiculous? She walks you through the body-mind connection, the placebo effect, and how to critically read a scientific study. In these pages, you'll find tools to determine for yourself what treatments are worth spending your money on and what will really help you feel better, and learn to advocate for yourself within and outside of the medical establishment. Bolstered by research and sprinkled with swearing, this book celebrates just how damn cool the human body and mind are, putting the power of healing in your hands. For fans of the podcast If Books Could Kill and anyone who's fallen down a rabbit hole of internet research and wants help separating fact from fiction.
