[close] Great books. Powerful ideas. Healthier lives. Can reading a great book change your health? Sometimes, one new idea is all it takes to change the way you eat, move, sleep, manage stress, communicate with your doctor—or simply think about your health. Welcome to Read Your Way to Better Health, a Goodreads community for people who love learning how to live healthier, feel better, and take a more active role in their well-being. Together, we'll discover and discuss fascinating, practical, and thought-provoking books about health, Lifestyle Medicine, nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, longevity, metabolic health, brain health, patient empowerment, healthy aging, and the science of living well. I'm Coach Dr. Ann Hester, a double board-certified physician in Internal Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine, CNN-featured health expert, and author of Lifestyle Medicine: A Scientifically Proven Path to Prevent, Treat, or Reverse Chronic Disease and Patient Empowerment 101. I created this group because there are extraordinary health books being published—and great ideas become even more powerful when we discover, discuss, and put them into action together. This community isn't about one author or one book. We'll explore books from physicians, scientists, researchers, health professionals, and other authors who have something meaningful to contribute to the conversation about better health. We'll recommend books, choose books to read together, discuss fascinating ideas, separate health facts from myths, share discoveries, and occasionally invite authors and experts to join us for conversations and Q&As. You don't have to read every book to belong here. See a conversation that interests you? Jump in. Start Here Introduce yourself and answer one question: What health book has changed the way you think about your health—or what health topic would you love to understand better? Your next great read might lead to your next healthy change. Read. Learn. Live healthier.
