>>> IT IS A NEW YEAR. 
IF ONE WAS TO TAKE BETTER CARE 
OF YOURSELF, YOU NEED TO CHECK 
OUT SELF CARE SOLUTION. 
IT'S A NEW BOOK BY OUR 
COLLEAGUE AND FRIEND DR. JENN 
ASHTON. 
IT WAS RELEASED THIS WEEK AND 
IS A TOP SELLER ON AMAZON 
BOOKS. 
IT'S A GREAT BOOK. 
JEN IS HERE WITH US NOW TO TALK 
ABOUT ALL ABOUT IMPROVING 
PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY. 
IT'S SUCH AN IMPORTANT TOPIC. 
HOW DID YOU DECIDE TO DO THIS? 
>> YOU GUYS, THIS IS IN A LOT 
OF WAYS THE ANTIRESOLUTION 
BOOK. 
I AM NOT ONE FOR MAKING BIG, 
BIG CHANGES. 
I'M MORE ABOUT THE BABY STEPS. 
SO, COMING OUT OF THE WORST 
YEAR OF MY LIFE I FELT LIKE I 
NEEDED TO TURN THE LENS ON 
MYSELF, PAY ATTENTION TO THE 
SMALL THINGS THAT I RECOMMEND 
TO OUR VIEWERS AND PATIENTS TO 
DO EVERYDAY AND REALLY DO THIS 
EXPERIMENT. 
I STARTED WITH A DRY MONTH THEN 
IT BUILT ON ITSELF FROM THERE 
AND I PUT TOGETHER MY WHOLE 
YEAR OF THESE MONTHLY WELLNESS 
CHALLENGES AND EXPERIMENTS. 
I TALK ABOUT THE SCIENCE. 
TIPS ON HOW TO DO IT YOURSELF. 
IT'S AMAZING. 
>> YOU FOCUS ON NUTRITION. 
YOU TALK ABOUT THE MIND. 
HOW DO YOU BREAK IT DOWN. 
>> I WANTED TO PICK THREE BIG 
CATEGORIES THAT AFFECT WHAT WE 
DO AND HOW WE LIVE EVERY DAY. 
ONE OF THEM WAS WHAT WE EAT AND 
DRINK OR DON'T EAT AND DRINK. 
HOW WE MOVE AND THEN FROM THE 
NECK UP. 
SO, THINGS LIKE LAUGHTER, 
MEDITATION, SLEEP. 
WHEN I STARTED WITH THE FITNESS 
ONE, WHICH WAS INTERESTING IN 
THERE, I DECIDED FEBRUARY -- 
STILL TIME, YOU GUYS, NEVER TOO 
LATE. 
I WANTED TO WORK ON PUSH-UPS 
AND PLANKS. 
CHEAP, EASY, COULD DO IT ANY 
TIME. 
YOU COULD START FROM COUCH 
POTATO STATUS OR IF YOU ARE FIT 
START FROM THERE. 
THESE ARE EXERCISES THAT TAKE 
SECONDS OR MINUTES. 
THEY WORK THE ENTIRE BODY AND 
IMPROVE THE POSTURE. 
>> YOU TALKED ABOUT PLANKS 
BEFORE. 
>> YEAH. 
>> YOU DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP. 
ANTIRESOLUTION. 
SO, IF YOU ARE HAVING AN OFF 
DAY YOU ARE NOT KILLING 
YOURSELF FOR NOT DOING IT. 
>> CORRECT. 
THIS BOOK A AND THESE 
CHALLENGES WAS NOT ABOUT 
PERFECTION BUT THE PROCESS, NOT 
THE PRODUCT. 
IF YOU DO SOMETHING FOR 15 DAYS 
OUT OF A MONTH IT'S BETTER THAN 
BEFORE. 
FOR JUNE ONE OF MY FAVORITES 
WAS HYDRATION. 
MOST DAYS I'M LIKE A CAMEL. 
I DRINK NO WATER AND THAT CAN 
AFFECT HEADACHES TO APPETITE TO 
WEIGHT MANAGEMENT TO 
CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH TO KIDNEY 
HEALTH. 
I TRIED TO GET IN THE 2.7 
LIGHTERS A DAY. 
THEN DECEMBER I WANTED TO PICK 
SOMETHING THAT WOULD REALLY DO 
SOMETHING NOR MY MOOD. 
I WANTED TO GET IN TOUCH WITH 
MY INNER CHILD. 
THAT WAS ABOUT GETTING 
RECONNECTED OR BRINGING MORE 
LAUGHTER INTO MY LIFE. 
SO, GOES I WON'T DO A SPOILER 
ALERT BUT I DO DESCRIBE IT IN 
THE BOOK. 
>> I LOVE HOW YOU DID IT FOR 
DECEMBER WHICH CAN BE A TOUGH 
MONTH AND STRESSFUL MONTH FOR 
MOST OF US. 
>> WHICH CHALLENGES. 
>> I WILL START WITH LAUGHTER. 
>> GO FOR IT. 
>> LAUGH A LITTLE MORE THIS 
MONTH. 
>> I LIKE LAUGHTER AND I WILL 
JOIN YOU WITH PLANKS AND PUSH-
UPS. 
>> NEVER TOO LATE. 
>> SO AMBITIOUS. 
>> GOOD FOR YOU. 
>> WE CAN BENEFIT FROM IT. 
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
I HOPE EVERYONE ENJOYS IT. 
SO FAR THE RESPONSE HAS BEEN 
INCREDIBLE. 
PEOPLE ARE DOING IT WITH 
FRIENDS, FAMILY AND SOCIAL
