Gone are the days of fad diets. In Dr.

Meg Propps's newest book, she analyzes and sets a path for adults struggling with weight loss who experience chronic illness, stress, or trauma. You're not alone, and it's not your fault.

So often, adults looking to lose weight feel that they are the problem in the equation. When they fail, it's because of their lack of commitment, dedication, or fortitude to live a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Dr. Meg Propps is here to flip the narrative on its head.

The connection between the mind and body as it relates to weight loss is complex and misunderstood. What many adults don't learn is that our brains and bodies may have been conditioned to retain weight due to chronic psychological stress and trauma.

Dr. Propps's most recent clinical work and research has dug into the giant gap between physical and mental healthcare as it relates to weight control, despite the two being intricately linked.

It focuses on finding effective, lasting solutions for her clients struggling with these long-term effects of trauma and mental health conditions. Now, that research is readily available to anyone in this accessible, easy-to-understand book.

Within Overcoming the Top Weight Loss Challenges: Chronic Illness, Stress, and Trauma, readers will learn the most common pathways between weight loss challenges and chronic illness, stress, and trauma. They'll also find viable solutions critical for overcoming these most common barriers to healthy, sustainable weight loss.

Adults interested in tackling their mental and physical health will resonate with this new guidebook's message. Readers who enjoyed The Body Keeps the Score will also enjoy Dr.

Propps's book - especially as it relates to weight loss. .
