The MONUTRITIONIST Method: How to Live Better for Longer, Without Fighting Your Body (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781066959907)

Most people are not short of health information. They are overwhelmed by it.

Conflicting advice, constant optimisation and the pressure to get everything right have turned health into something exhausting. What has been missing is a structure that fits the life you are actually living.

After more than two decades in clinical practice, Registered Nutritional Therapist Monisha Mahtani BA (Hons), BSc (Hons), BANT, CNHC, has watched the same pattern repeat: capable, disciplined people following sound advice built for a different phase of life. The routine that worked at thirty-five stops working at fifty. The plan that suited a calm year collapses in a difficult one. And each time, the person assumes the failure is theirs.

The MONUTRITIONIST(TM) Method is built for the phase you are in.

Rather than another plan to follow and abandon, this is a framework organised around four interconnected pillars - nutrition as biological signalling, gut health as the body's central regulator, movement and nervous system regulation, and targeted support matched to your life stage. Each pillar strengthens the others, which is why the Method compounds over years where single changes fade within weeks.

Inside you will find:

Twenty life stages and contexts, covered separately - from preconception, adolescence and the reproductive years through perimenopause, menopause and later life, and including the circumstances most health books leave out: grief and bereavement, caregiving, shift work, surgical recovery and long-term condition management.

MicroMoveMents(TM) - twenty-four brief movements and ten breathing practices, developed in clinical practice since 2010 and published here for the first time. Designed to fit into working days rather than require them to stop.

Clinical supplement tables giving orientation nutrient ranges drawn from published reference values including SACN, EFSA and NIH guidance, for discussion with your practitioner.

A seven-week starting sequence that layers changes in the order the body responds to them, plus a worked example of the daily practice.

More than 300 references throughout.

Written for women and men in midlife and beyond, by a practitioner who has spent twenty years watching what actually holds.

One good decision at a time.
