Book SynopsisSocial media is a major part of modern life. Most of us can't imagine not using it, and it's unrealistic to assume that's even possible. Platforms like Instagram, Twitter and Facebook haven't been around long, but they have already made far-reaching impacts on our health and wellbeing. We are only just beginning to understand the influence these platforms have over our decisions around food and health, with many of these processes happening without our being aware. But maybe we should be aware. From influencers deciding what foods we buy to government policy, via food shaming and comparison envy, activism and extremism, the role social media plays is now undeniable. In The Insta-Food Diet, registered nutritionist Pixie Turner will guide you through the various ways social media has affected our food choices, our restaurants, and our food policy. By the end, you'll be armed with knowledge and tactics, so you can take back control and make social media work for you. Trade ReviewPRAISE FOR PIXIE TURNER: 'Pixie Turner manages to strip away the bullshit that surrounds diet and health, replacing it with facts, balance and a long overdue call to re-engage with food. This is the book that the world of wellness desperately needs' Anthony Warner, the Angry Chef. 'A manifesto for happy, sensible eating: to encourage us to respect science, to relax and, crucially, to find pleasure in food' Stella magazine. 'Pixie's book is a much needed breath of fresh air.

It's the answer to whether you'll distract yourself on social media for hours, whether you'll eat junk food, and what time you get up in the morning.Your imagined Future-Self is the driver of your current reality.

If you seek learning, growth, and new experiences, you'll be able to imagine a different and betTrade Review"Knowing your Future Self is key to living powerfully and purposefully.

Book SynopsisHave you ever felt like you''re shouting into the void for someone to just see you and to acknowledge that you exist, that you have value, that you are loved?That feeling-like no one can really see who you are, like no one really gets it, that''s loneliness. The truth is everyone feels lonely. It is a universal emotion, one we all experience at one point or another, but we have also been made to feel ashamed, oppressed and stigmatised about experiencing it.Being seen means that someone notices you and includes you. Being heard means to be listened to without interruption, gaslighting or invalidation, but rather with compassion and understanding. Being valued means being respected and treated with compassion and kindness. When all three of these needs are met, we experience a sense of belonging. Human beings need more than access to food, sleep and water to survive. We also need to feel that sense of belonging, understanding aTrade ReviewThis is a truly beautiful book about loneliness and how to reach beyond our perceptions of isolation. Most importantly, the author focuses the reader on the most stable and readily available source of connection there is - our relationship with ourselves -- Dr Kristin Neff, pioneer of self-compassion and author of 'Fierce Self-Compassion'Janina Scarlet is at once brilliant, warm hearted, understanding and encouraging. This powerful book, rooted firmly in research, meets readers right where they are and illuminates the path to creating a life full of meaning and healthy connection - with ourselves and others. Readers are encouraged to take the book at their own pace. The brief chapters make it easy to take it slowly, and the gentle exercises help wellbeing blossom, all the while with the encouragement, authenticity and kind presence of the author. Readers come away feeling seen, heard and understood every step of the way -- Michelle Becker, author of Compassion for CouplesIn Zulu, the greeting "Sawubona" literally means "I see you". In contrast, I have felt unseen and misunderstood as a Black woman in America more times than I can count. Perhaps this is why I felt Unseen, Unheard, Undervalued by Dr Janina Scarlet in my gut, on a soul level. Dr Scarlet's words are poignant and heartfelt. As I read, I felt the familiar pang of loneliness that was described so well. However, through this book, I could examine loneliness in a new way; I turned it around in my mind like a child looking at a unique shell found on the beach. I was able to see it differently and appreciate the humanity and universality of it. This book does what it intends to do - it reduces the stigma surrounding loneliness in all its forms -- Dr Jennifer Payne, author of 'Out of the Fire: Healing Black Trauma Caused by Systemic Racism Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy'It was my privilege and honor to read an incredible book in which Janina shares not only actionable practices and exercises, but also made me feel SO seen, heard and valued! Her compassionate voice and presence is obvious on every page. She is not only a powerful psychologist, she is your friend and greatest holder of compassionate space, who brings her heart and soul to support your healing. We heal through co-regulation, and Janina inspired this healing experience for us even before we begin to implement her suggested powerful exercises. Thank you for making me and thousands feel so seen, heard and valued! -- Marina Yanay-Triner, somatic leadership coach
