THE YOU FACTOR

The latest group of diabetes and weight loss medications are proving to be extraordinarily effective in helping people lose weight by mimicking the hormones that make us feel full. Unfortunately, these drugs are expensive and often in short supply. But what if we could receive the same results without taking those drugs?Retired gastroenterologist Gerald Friedman, and his daughter, Wendi Friedman Tush, partner to share important never-before-seen information that will empower anyone wishing to achieve optimal health through weight loss to change the way they live, in their own way and on their own schedule. In their transformative guide, they demonstrate how to duplicate the effects of the new class of GLP-1 agonist weight-loss drugs by using food, sleep, exercise, and stress reduction to decrease hunger hormones and increase satiety hormones; reveal what happens in the body when we eat and are overweight; and discuss the ways to use simple lifestyle changes to reduce the desire to eat, feel healthier, and live longer. Included are tools, trackers, and cheat sheets that help prevent backsliding. The You Factor consolidates the latest information about nutrition, exercise, sleep, and habit formation into a clear, concise guide that encourages weight loss without drugs or surgery.
