I have been asked to submit my book for a proposal, so wish me luck!
The Detox Dial - Detoxing your life for a better mind, body and soul.
The distance between where we are now and where we long to be with our health can feel overwhelming—especially in later life. The flawless bodies and quick fixes promoted across social media often feel disconnected from real experience, leaving many women feeling inadequate, exhausted, and quietly ashamed.
We live in a world that increasingly makes us sick and dependent on healthcare systems, pharmaceuticals, and constant external advice. Yet our bodies are not broken. Given understanding, patience, and support, the body is naturally detoxifying and deeply capable of healing itself.
The Detox Dial offers a radically different approach to health and wellbeing—one rooted in compassion, self-trust, and gradual change rather than force or restriction. Drawing on years of experience in coaching and personal development, the author applies the familiar concept of goal‑setting to health, reframing it as a dial rather than a switch. Instead of dramatic overhauls or “starting again on Monday,” readers are invited to gently turn the dial—one small adjustment at a time—listening to the body and responding with care.
After decades of dieting, body shame, and inner criticism, the author learned to step away from diet culture entirely. By slowing down and turning inward, she discovered that sustainable health comes not from self‑discipline, but from self‑respect.
A dramatic life change—leaving the stress of the UK and relocating with her dog to the countryside of Montenegro—became a turning point in this journey. While her move was bold, the book reassures readers that transformation does not require escape or extremes. Each person can begin exactly where they are, gradually detoxing their mind, body, and soul.
This book is written for women who sense that there must be a better way to eat, live, and care for themselves. It invites readers to leave the diet industry behind—an industry that has repeatedly failed women by reinforcing cycles of self‑blame and disconnection.
As the book’s central message reminds us:
“We cannot hate ourselves healthy.”
