We tend to wait until something breaks before we listen. A bad night becomes a bad month. "I'm just tired" becomes a way of life. And the body keeps a tally long before the mind admits there's a problem.

This is the personal half of the SHEDS story, Sleep, Hydration, Exercise, Diet and Stress - The five fundamentals that quietly decide how well you live, work and feel. Written from hard-won personal expeirence , it's an honest, jargon- free guide to reading your own signals and doing something about them before the body forces the issue. No shame. Just the fundamentals, and a way back to them.

With a foreword by Churchill Fellow and endurance swimmer Anna Wardley: "You do not have to wait until your body says 'enough' before you begin listening"

If you've ever ran on empty and called it coping, start here. Your health really is your wealth.

This is the companion book for Before They Break - the same framework pointed at the people you lead.
