Hillary L. PhD McBride

There are plenty of books and articles related to changing the way we view our bodies. Most of us have grown up in a toxic culture where impossible physical ideals were imposed on both women and men leading to pain, abuse, depression, eating disorders, bullying and more. It's no wonder there has been a rise in authors pushing body positivity and, as someone who has suffered an eating disorder for over half of my life and counting,, I can say that honestly so many of those books do provide a certain extent of information but they all start to blend together. The advice seems removed most of the time and reading up on the topic can feel like getting a lecture from your doctor, leaving you overwhelmed and stressed.. That stops the second you open yourself to The Wisdom of Your Body.

Dr. Mcbride weaves together information and advice from everywhere from the latest phycological studies to ancient wisdom that, as a society, we have forgotten. Well researched, extremely personal and relevant this book just might be the spark that truly starts the revolution we so desperately need. The Wisdom of Your Body feels like it was written by someone who personally dove inside my psyche and extracted all the emotions and negativity that has been buried there for so long; This is an amazing accomplishment and something that honestly surprised me. The connection felt from this guide is one of the many reasons this book is so amazing.

I finished the book rather quickly because it is truly that well written and interesting; now I am re-reading it and going slowly, forcing myself to put the book down at times to truly reflect on what McBride has given us. This is the only way any self help book will help you change, and it is impossible to NOT reflect and relate. Now there is no excuse to not to give this ground breaking approach a true fair trial.

“... I have been looking for ways to weave myself back into wholeness, for thread to stitch back together the fabric of my life into something greater than the individual parts.” - Hillary L. McBride, PhD
