A holistic guide to the stresses that wear us down and the changes we can make to lead happier, healthier, and more resilient lives. Life has never been more stressful. It is no coincidence that chronic degenerative diseases such as cancer, heart disease, autoimmune diseases, and mental-health conditions are on the rise. Going by the evidence, it would seem we are at greater risk from our lifestyles than from terrorists. At the same time, our environment is also in crisis - and our health is inseparable from the health of the planet. In fact, all these things are connected. That is the message of holistic dentist Dr Ron Ehrlich. Having seen how dental problems could lead to afflictions elsewhere in the body over 30 years ago, Dr Ehrlich is on a continuing journey to uncover the roots of our problems and the solutions to treat them - rather than treat the symptoms, as so many medical practitioners find themselves doing. Now he wants to share what he's learned so far, to help you, your family, your community, and the very environment you live in. Untangling decades of confusing and contradictory health messages, Dr Ehrlich restores food, health, and the environment to their central place as vital to human happiness, not commodities to be bought and sold. He explores and redefines the stresses that affect us - emotional, nutritional, environmental, dental, and postural - and shows the way forward to build the five pillars required to simply be well: how to sleep, breathe, nourish, move, and think. A Life Less Stressed is a starting point to develop a broader understanding of our health problems, and a guide for building resilience and creating a healthier, happier you.

A holistic guide to the stresses that wear us down and the simple changes we can make to lead happier, healthier, and more resilient lives.
Life has never been more stressful. It is no coincidence that chronic degenerative disorders such as cancer, heart disease, autoimmune illnesses, and mental-health conditions are on the rise. But if we want to tackle them, we need to look beyond their symptoms. That is the message of dentist and health advocate Ron Ehrlich.
He explores why public health messages have been so confusing and often contradictory, including the role of the food and pharmaceutical industries in all parts our healthcare system. It’s a story that’s easy to miss but difficult to ignore. He then untangles how problems in one part of the body are intimately connected to the whole and how we as individuals are inextricably linked to our own environment. Ehrlich redefines the stresses that affect us in our modern world, and shows how to strengthen the five pillars — sleep, breathing, nutrition, movement, and thought — that support our health.
A Life Less Stressed will help you develop a broader understanding of the challenges we face today and empower you to take control, build resilience, and be the best you can be.
