Author Description

Clock On To Health is an entertaining and original handbook - both a lifestyle medicine how-to and self-help guide - by author and acupuncturist, Jost Sauer. It presents a simple clock-based daily routine based on traditional Chinese medicine that will enable the reader to: - Cut through the confusion about how to live well - Take charge of their health - Heal and prevent hundreds of uncomfortable symptoms - Lose weight, sleep deeply and have more energy - Slow down ageing Chapters on each of the 12 organs (of traditional Chinese medicine) enable the reader to understand why they have symptoms, what organ imbalances these are connected to, and how to restore organ health. The book outlines how to organise everything - from snacks to social media to sleep - to make the reader's lifestyle their best medicine. It covers the healthiest foods and diets, the most efficient exercises, and the best times to do everything to create work/life balance. Lifestyle diseases - including hypertension, heart disease, obesity and type 2 diabetes - kill tens of millions of people every year. Anxiety, depression and loneliness are becoming global epidemics, and dementia (including Alzheimer's disease) is manifesting in ever-younger demographics. Clock On To Health presents the healthy lifestyle changes that heal and prevent these conditions. Lifestyle medicine is a relatively new idea in Western health, but using lifestyle to prevent illness and promote health and happiness is integral to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and has been for thousands of years. Clock On to Health presents a medicinal lifestyle inspired by ancient Chinese health discoveries, and designed for modern times.
