Gia Merlo
Do you have Mental Blocks keeping you from your goals? Have you tried multiple times to eat healthier, exercise more, decrease your stress, and get restful sleep, but the behavioral changes didn’t stick? Restack is a book that embraces our humanness, with our quirks and imperfections, and provides tools and practical suggestions to Restack ourselves in a way that’s psychologically freeing. To Restack is the process of identifying our Mental Blocks and then categorizing and tweaking parts of ourselves we want to keep, as well as what is no longer serving us. The aim is not to create an idealized version of a perfect human, but to Restack the metaphorical tower of our blocks to end up with a new and reinvigorated Restack of ourselves.Restack explores lifestyle interventions, backed by science, to propel us forward on our journey of both mental and physical health. The concepts presented are a part of the big puzzle of brain health-each piece of the puzzle affects our overall physical and emotional health, and how we can manage this impact through lifestyle interventions. The book contains multiple tables and figures, as well as 'self-help prescriptions,' all serving as tools to provide guidance and help you achieve your goals. Additionally, Gia Merlo, as a practicing psychiatrist, shares her journey through her imperfections, mistakes, and Mental Blocks to come to a place of self-acceptance and healing. The ultimate goal of this book is not to be 100% healthy or 100% perfect, but to feel 100% human - actualizing our full human potential.
