Mom hacks

Darria Long Gillespie

eAudio - 2019

Why is it generally accepted that motherhood comes at the expense of our health-with all that weight gain, fatigue, and exhaustion? It doesn't have to be that way. What if you AND your baby could thrive together? We cure diseases. We create artificial ears using 3-D printers. We solved how to pee in space. We can figure this out-and now Dr. Darria has done just that. An Ivy League-trained physician and mom of two, Dr. Darria combed the latest in medicine, psychology, and holistic health for answers when her own health crises struck. She now brings those solutions to moms everywhere. For moms who just don't have the time or energy, Mom Hacks gives you the specific smallest changes that yield the biggest impact for you and your chil...d. Every hack is a mini super-charged solution with an immediate impact so that you feel good, lose the baby weight, and are more present while raising thriving children-in an entirely do-able, time-saving, with-you-in-the-trenches way. Dr. Darria's humor and personal stories bring warmth and encouragement when mothers need it most. You can be the mother and woman you want to be, and with Mom Hacks, you don't have to listen to anyone who tells you otherwise. It's time for a new-mom world order.

Review by Booklist Review

In her first book, medical professor, emergency physician, television commentator, and mother of two Gillespie, best known as Dr. Darria, offers mothers advice on how to conquer some of their most common challenges. Gillespie covers maintaining a healthy diet, starting or restarting regular exercise, developing good sleep habits, managing stress, and becoming resilient. She breaks each category into hacks, or shortcuts that help achieve the larger goal. Her advice isn't groundbreaking, but it's reassuring in that she doesn't call for gimmicky diets or overnight lifestyle changes. The book is also set up so readers can focus on the section most relevant to them, begin with easier hacks, and make progress toward more demanding change. Her tone is both confident and confiding, and she backs up her claims with scientific and medical research, and other reliable sources. Readers who recognize Dr. Darria from her appearances on cable-news and health programs, and are seeking more guidance, will be happy to see this on the shelf.--Aleksandra Walker Copyright 2010 Booklist
