The Mind-Body Mood Solution: The Breakthrough Drug-Free Program for Lasting Relief from Depression

In our fast-paced and often stressful lives, we face increasing demands on our time and energy. It seems like, more acid more, our hectic lifestyles prevent us from living a satisfying, life—one that's in sync with the needs of our bodies, our minds, and the connections we share with our loved ones. Today, more Americans are depressed than ever before: in fact, depression has become the leading cause of disability in America.

Depression not only, takes a toll on our mental wellness, it also poses a serious threat to our physical health, increasing the risk for developing diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and cognitive impairment. In The Mind-Body Mood Solution, Dr. Jeffrey Rossman, director of life management at Canyon Ranch, offers the first all-natural program for overcoming mild to moderate depression by healing both the mind and the body. His revolutionary approach includes psychological tools to help heal the mind as well as lifestyle modifications, including:

-Foods and supplements that improve mood and mental clarity

-An energy-boosting exercise program that enhances fitness and supports weight management

-Breathing exercises that relax the mind and body

-Meditations that focus the mind and cultivate awareness of the present moment

-Exposure to bright light, which stimulates the brain to produce more mood-enhancing neurotransmitters.
