According to a study by Emory University, doctors live an average of five years longer than the rest of us. They know what it takes to keep themselves healthy--and this book shows you how to think and act like one of them. Award-winning journalist Sari Harrar checks in with more than 100 top medical practitioners to learn their science-based daily strategies . . . and puts them right at your fingertips. Find out what experts in everything from gastroenterology, endocrinology, and dermatology to sleep medicine, nutrition, obstetrics, and surgery do, from treating emergencies quickly and getting the right tests to taking supplements and becoming smart healthcare consumers. See how they stay slim (even enjoying dessert), what they think about juice cleanses, which foods they feel fight disease, how they double a nap's energy rewards, what they do to beat colds and flu, why they mix regular and alternative medicine, and so much more. Fun and useful self-diagnostic tests begin each chapter, and the information is beautifully organized for easy use.

Popular host of The View set to debut new daytime talk show on FOX TV, SHERRI* In Plan D, Sherri Shepherd, Emmy Award winner and cohost of The View, presents her easy-to-follow program for losing weight, managing sugar sensitivity, and getting moving—all to help you feel and look your best. For years, Sherri Shepherd was told that she was pre-diabetic. And for years, she ignored her doctor’s advice to lose weight and get healthy before she developed full blown diabetes. When she finally got the big-D diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, the same disease that took her mother’s life, Sherri vowed that she’d change her ways so that her son wouldn’t be left alone, without a mother, as she had been. With the help of her doctor, she created this program, lost more than 40 pounds, and she looks great and has more energy than she did in her twenties. Sherri’s diabetes is under control, and she was happy to show her stuff, wowing the world on Dancing with the Stars. With tools to help you live a long and healthy life, Plan D is a smart and supportive plan designed to help you lose weight safely, make exercise a real, and fun, part of your life, and control your sugar sensitivity. And through it all, Sherri Shepherd is there, like a trusted friend, offering advice, encouragement, and of course a healthy dose of humor.
