Hack Yourself Healthy

In her most recent book Hack Yourself Healthy, Julia cuts through the noise to embark on a journey to reclaim her health following her own breast cancer diagnosis; her quest being to discover whether she can go from a cancer diagnosis to being the fittest and healthiest she's ever been. She draws on research, interviews with global thought leaders and her own personal experience in an invaluable and entertaining exploration of current health trends and theories. She offers practical tips and accessible science-based strategies to optimise every aspect of your health and wellbeing. In other words - an opportunity to join Julia in her quest to 'make the best of the rest' and to curate your own transformative health journey at home and in nature.
