A Real-Life Approach to Diet and Lifestyle Detoxes: From two self-improvement junkies who've tried pretty much everything

Carly Jacobs and Kelly Exeter are passionate researchers and self-experimenters. They've been writing in the self-improvement space for over 15 years (between them) and love nothing more than sharing their findings with readers.

In 2016 they seized a long-awaited opportunity to work together and the Straight and Curly podcast was born. Each episode features the girls riffing on a self-improvement topic or life hack, sharing both their personal experiences and research they've uncovered.

A REAL-LIFE APPROACH TO DIET AND DETOXES

In 2016 Carly and Kelly did a three-part series on the topic of 'diet'. This series was incredibly popular with their listeners who appreciated their pragmatic, non-dogmatic and sustainable approach, along with their ability to de-code media sensationalism around the subject. They then re-visited the topic towards the end of 2017 to see what had changed.

Also in 2016, they undertook a series of lifestyle detoxes - removing alcohol, coffee and their phones from their lives. Their differing experiences with each detox made for fun listening.

This book is a compilation of the (heavily edited!) transcripts from those episodes.

If you prefer reading to listening, and like feeling like you're part of a conversation, (rather than having people talk at you), this book is for you.
