Lose twenty pounds and reverse the aging process in just sixty days with this clinically proven, holistic lifestyle plan from an anti-aging expert whose clients include some of New York City’s most successful women.

Most diets don’t work because they restrict food intake and put inconsistent physical stress on the body, starving cells, throwing hormones out of whack, and slowing down metabolism. In The Well Path, Dr. Jamé Heskett offers us a radical new approach: In order to lose weight, we first have to heal the damage we’ve done to our bodies from years of dieting. Before we can lose weight for good, we need to achieve homeostasis—total balance in the body, with all its systems working in concert. When you’re there, you’re full of energy, look and feel younger, and lose weight effortlessly.

The Well Path is her sixty-day plan to get you there. Dr. Heskett provides a detailed week-by-week and day-by-day calendar of small changes and challenges to get you on your own Well Path. You begin with Well Prep, a month-long period to get you acclimated to simple lifestyle changes. The second month is devoted to Well Practice, a roadmap to homeostasis that focuses on six areas of CHANGE:

Circulation—improving the vascular system gets rid of stored fat and toxins

Hunger—learning to identify real and false hunger to avoid overeating

Activity—non-exercise activity that can burn hundreds of extra calories

Nutrition—a diverse array of nutrients (especially fiber) to improve gut absorption and balance hormones

General Health—the importance of sleep, sex, stress, and social interaction

Exercise—Dr. Heskell’s code for maximum fat-for-energy exercise conversion

The Well Path will take you from sickness to health, fat to fit, and old to young—in just sixty days.

My Journey to the Well Path

by Jamé Heskett, M.D.

My journey to The Well Path has been a wonderful one of shared experience with thousands of women who have all been able to lose weight, stay youthful, and live their best life.

Every time I see a woman in my office who is distressed and preoccupied with her weight or her aging body, I am both heartbroken and inspired. I’ve been in practice for 20 years, and I’ve seen it all—women lamenting their ‘diet’ failures, their aging body, and expressing the shame and hopelessness that goes along with not feeling or looking their best. From the very first time I met a woman in this state, I wanted to help her by giving her solutions that would free her from these distracting thoughts. We waste so much time and energy worrying about our weight and how we look in the mirror—energy that can be better spent on more important, rewarding pursuits. I wanted to help this woman solve her weight problems so she could feel good in her body again, and so she could get her life back.

As a woman, I can relate. I know what it’s like to fight with your body—whether the issue is energy, mood, or weight. As much as we try to remember that ‘it’s what’s inside that counts’, our relationships with our bodies exudes a powerful pull on our time and attention.

So over the years, one patient at a time, I have looked for sustainable solutions to help women win this battle. I have researched and tested a variety of approaches, and after working with my patients and listening to their feedback and individual needs, I’ve been able to develop a program that delivers real, sustainable results. Now, I’ve always encouraged my patients to steer clear of ‘one size fits all’ programs and diets. So how can my program work for everyone who tries it? Because it is founded upon a few very basic yet revolutionary principles that apply to all women:

-If a behavior cannot be seamlessly integrated into your daily life (think: brushing your teeth), it will not be sustainable.

-Dramatic change will throw the body and mind into a defensive position, and it will reject the change long-term.

-The body wants to be in a state of Homeostasis. Anything that takes it away from that balance (think dietary restriction, excessive exercise, and stress) will force the body to react poorly and hold onto excess weight.

– Any strategy that puts more stress on a woman is a failure from the outset.

Over the last 15 years, I have fine-tuned my strategies and even tried them out on myself—successfully losing the 60 pounds I gained after having my third child at age 42. The Well Path got me back on track, and today, I’m healthier and happier than I’ve ever been. I knew that if I could feel this good, so could any woman who is committed to making healthy, positive changes in her life. And that’s who I had in mind when I wrote this book—all the women who are fed up with fad approaches to diet and fitness, who are tired of fighting their age, who want more energy, and who want to look and feel their best. To all of you, I invite you to join me on this revolutionary journey of The Well Path.
